In the original history, it was in the two generations of Matsuda Motohui and Genken that the power of the main Matsuda clan declined, which caused the dissatisfaction of Iga Kuta, and in the 11th year of Eiroku (1568), Iga Kutaka accepted the strategy of the Ukita Naoke family, who had risen at that time, and betrayed the main family to attack Kanegawa Castle, and Matsuda Motoken was killed in battle. * That was more than ten years later, and now Iga Histaka is still a young man of twenty-five or sixteen, with strong blood, far from the accumulation of resentment for more than ten years, but he will not do the evil thing of rebellion and killing the lord's family. Faced with the questioning of his old father Iga Katsutaka, Iga Kutaka was speechless for a while, and his dissatisfaction with reality was just a very common feeling in Torakura Castle from top to bottom that was amplified in him, but it would not be enough to start a rebellion because he was dissatisfied with the internal and external affairs of the Matsuda family.
The reason why Iga Kutaka made such a question can only be blamed on the butterfly effect of Zhengheng, which is really strong.
Originally, Matsuda Motomori had begun to gradually hand over internal and external affairs to his eldest son, Matsuda Motoki, as early as last year, so that he, who was obviously biased by Ashikaga Yoshiteru, handled national affairs, but what he didn't expect was that Ishikawa Hisachi's request for help made Matsuda Motoki have a headache and brain fever for a while, and tried his best to instigate his father Motomori to jump in. In addition, Iga Kutaka and Matsuda Motoki once had a dirty juvenile history, don't get me wrong, the two are not friends, they fell in love with a girl at the same time when they were young, Matsuda Motoki relied on his family background to forcibly occupy the girl, whether it was forcible or not, don't care about it, anyway, Iga Kutaka thinks so, and then when he grew up, rumors about the innocence between Iga Kutaka and the girl began to spread, and the girl committed suicide in humiliation, and the hatred between the two had already been sown in her youth.
Iga Kutaka suddenly picked up the long knife. Standing up, his eyes still burning with anger, he said, "Since that's the case, then let's take a good look at the meaning of Jinchuan City." I want to see what they're going to do. The tone was one of intense resentment and anger. Out of the door, his steps became more and more impatient, he quickly passed through the long corridor, through the gate, and was about to walk out of the door, a young man came out of the shadows, looking quite like Iga Kutaka. It's just a little immature, and there is a little more feminine between the corners of his eyebrows, and he shouts a few times, "Brother, brother!" ”
The person who came was not Iga Kutaka's own brother, but his cousin, his father and Iga Kutaka's father were siblings, and the old lady in the city privately rumored that some unspeakable things had happened to the two brothers back then, and Iga Kutaka looked at his cousin, who was getting closer to him, and believed in the truth of the rumors. But Iga Kutaka did not discriminate or be wary, but treated him as his little brother, and he loved him very much. The direct consequence of the director is that this guy named Iga Xuanxian has become Iga Kutaka's shadow and adviser.
Iga Xuanxian gently tugged at his brother's sleeve, glanced left and right out of the corner of his eye, and found that there was no obvious figure around, and he still did not speak, afraid that there were eavesdropping spies hiding in the shadows or in the eaves of the corner of the wall. For his cousin's caution, Iga Jiulong had a big headache, and now Torakura Castle is still nominally under the control of his old father, but everyone knows that the actual power of Torakura Castle is already in his hands, and all the retainers in the city have approached him, as long as he gives an order. You can even do something to expel your old father. But he didn't do this, it's not that he didn't want to, it's that he hasn't seen the confused situation clearly, waiting for the situation to change again, or he also has the idea of letting the old father take the initiative to let Xian, but the old father Shenglong has never moved his nest. Let the strong him already have a little unbearable.
Iga Xuanxian was sure that no one would hear their conversation, and said in a low tone: "Brother, the captain of the Tushi Military Department has reported that the situation in the two cities of Kanno and Maruyama on the bank of Naritaki Hu is unstable, and there are already signs of moving closer to Beizhong, if the two cities fall into the hands of Binzhong, the gateway of Hucang City will be unstable, and the close ministers of Jinchuan City will definitely make a big fuss about it, saying that brother, you have already communicated with Beizhong, I am afraid that it will be unfavorable to my brother." "Tiger Castle was originally the gateway to Kanegawa Castle, and the two cities of Kanno and Maruyama are not the gateways to Korakura Castle, the most important thing is the words that follow, the close ministers of Kanegawa Castle will not let go of such a good opportunity, and they will definitely slander it, and the hateful Matsuda Motoki will not let go of the opportunity to damage the Iga family.
Iga Kutaka's brows furrowed tightly, although he had heard a little about the movements of Kanno and Maruyama, the two cities that were so close to the birthplace of the Date clan in Bichu, as long as most of the natives were related to the Date clan, they could more or less know the recent situation in Bei China, and they were envious and jealous of the decline of the Date clan and made good luck, and the result of envy and jealousy was that most of the people in the two cities suddenly found that they should also be one of them, and they slandered one after another. If you don't turn against each other, you will have to fight back against the intimidation of expelling the city lord, and the local lord is a mediocre person, although he is an outsider, but in order to win the hearts of the people for several generations of in-laws, the slander is also regarded as a relative of the Date clan, and he is also very moved.
For the betrayal of Kanno and Maruyama, Iga Kutaka has long been decided, he has studied Date Masahiro this person, and found that he is an ambitious careerist, as long as he is given a little opportunity, he will use the most fierce offensive to break the rules and seize other people's land to expand his territory, since Kanno and Maruyama Castle know that they can't keep it, when the time comes, it is a little bargaining with the Date family to give up, and it can be regarded as a way out for the Iga family. But now, after Iga Xuanxian's words, knowing that once the two cities are lost, the people of Jinchuan Castle will vent all their family grievances on his head, making Iga Kutaka a point of catharsis, and with the virtues of the close minister faction and Matsuda Motoki, Iga Kutaka knows that they will definitely do this, especially when the power of the Jinguang Sect is close to the close minister faction and the foreign vassal faction is declining.
Seeing his brother's intentions, Iga Xuanxian continued: "Brother, even if the elder brother is to take care of the two cities of Kanno and Maruyama, the people of Jinchuan Castle can find another excuse to force the elder brother to make a choice. I heard that the old city lord's physical condition was severe and fainted several times, so that all the obstacles to Matsuda Yuanhui's inheritance were removed, and the new lord succeeded to the throne, once he asked his brother to go to Jinchuan City to take the oath of allegiance, how should the elder brother deal with himself, or let his uncle go, or let the retainers do it for him, so that he would have a better chance to let his brother comply, and the heart of harming people must not be there, and the heart of guarding against people is indispensable, but where is the reason to prevent thieves every day? ”
Yes, how to deal with yourself, in the past, the old father Katsutaka could go to do it for him, which is the biggest reason why Iga Kutaka kept his old father. But once the new lord succeeded to the throne, he had no reason not to visit in person, and if he didn't go to worship, where would Matsuda Motoki and his close ministers let go of such a good opportunity, but if they went to worship, the scene of a glass of poisoned wine or a group of sword and axe hands was also vivid. The result of the suspicion of the monarchs and ministers in the troubled times of the Warring States period was either to destroy the lord's family, or to kill the rebellious retainers, and nothing more. Iga Kutaka's heart sank, and his face became more and more pale, obviously he didn't want to rebel in a hurry, but he didn't want to sit still and be in a dilemma.
Iga Xuanxian seems to have made up his mind to let his brother make up his mind, his heart is indeed for his brother, but the words he said made people inevitably a little staggered, he stared at his brother tightly, and continued: "Brother, I am not instigating my brother to turn against the Iga family and the Matsuda family, nor is it to let the blood of Torakura City flow like a river, to say something unpleasant, as long as the elder brother lowers his arrogant head and goes to Jinchuan City to apologize, and then let the Baishi City, which has been coveted by the close ministers for a long time, while the old lord is still alive, will definitely be able to stage a drama of harmony. "Shiraishi Castle, the castle that Iga Kutaka took from Misakuhei and the Takeuchi family that originally belonged to the Hashimoto clan, a retainer of the Matsuda clan, not only did he not return it after the seizure, but began to manage Shiraishi Castle and Joshita Town, with great intentions to steal, and the Hashimoto clan was one of the lords of the close courtiers, and the contradictions between the two sides were mostly deteriorated and fermented.
Iga Jiulong turned his head and glared at Iga Xuanxian, even if he was the most beloved little brother, he would not allow the other party to slander him as a person, it was okay for him to bow his head, but he had to lower his arrogant head and kowtow to a person he hated to ask for guilt, he couldn't do it, and shouted: "If you want me to ask Matsuda Motohui's puppet to ask for guilt, I can't do it, Baishi City, I won't let it." ”
Of course, Iga Xuanxian knew his brother's character, understood the anger he faced after he said this, and when he heard his brother's refusal, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said to himself: "Even if my brother gives in, I think the people of Jinchuan Castle will not let go of the opportunity for the Iga clan to continue bloodletting, without Baishi City, the castle that my brother knocked down, I am afraid that the retainers in the city who support my brother will also stay away, and now the Iga clan is worried about internal and external troubles?!" I think there is only one way to go, to get closer to Bei China, yes, to get closer to Bei China, at least to let the people of Jinchuan Castle understand that once they push their brother, the Iga clan will take refuge in Bei China, and throw themselves into the trap when the political situation of the new lord's succession is unstable, well, and there is also an incident that immediately causes an incident in the city, an event that is not enough to keep the brother away from Hucang City. ”
Iga Kutaka nodded slightly, he was obviously moved by Iga Xuanxian's words, in his opinion, this was the only way not to bow his head and apologize for the preferring of Matsuda Motoki, and after learning the news that Date Masahiro was staying in the Date Dan Main Pavilion, he was even more determined to get closer.
On the same day and night, Iga Ise Shoukatsu Takama died of a stroke, and Iga Kutaka Chun Takashi swore to keep filial piety for three years as a sign of mourning, and he had a reason not to go to Kanegawa Castle to pay homage to the new lord to succeed to the throne. (To be continued.) )
