Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is the spring plowing season of the twentieth year of astronomy (1551).

In addition to the fact that the location of the team has not changed, in order to ensure the stability of the team leader, Masahiro also suspended the adjustment of the cavalry team, the naval team, and the generals and retainers of the internal cabinet this time.

And just as Masarashi was drastically adjusting the generals of the territory, Oda Nobunaga, who was in Owari Province, was also facing an infuriating annoyance at this time.

In the room of Oda Nobunaga in that Furono Castle. Castle Lord Nobunaga stared at the cherry blossoms in the courtyard and thoughtfully bit his fingernails, a common action he used to do when he was in deep thought. Hirate Masahide advised him to quit this indecent habit, and he did it on purpose again and again.

Nobunaga suddenly gritted his teeth and said to Inuchiyo, who was kneeling beside him, "Do you remember Takechiyo?" ”

In history, because Nohime, who had a somewhat stubborn personality, married Oda Nobunaga, who also had a stubborn personality, Oda Nobunaga often enjoyed arguing with Nohime at home. It's just that a few years ago, Nohime was taken away by Masayo, and Saito Michizo is still allied with the Oda family, Oda Nobunaga still became Saito Michizo's son-in-law, but Oda Nobunaga's wife was changed from Saito Michizo's second daughter Saito Guidie (Nohime) to the third daughter who was supposed to marry Toki Yorijun in history. And this third girl is a gentle and graceful little girl. So there was no one to argue with him, Oda Nobunaga, and he had to use his close attendant, Maeda Inu Chiyo, as the main object of conversation.

In fact, Chiyo Maeda, who had been educated in the duties of a retainer since childhood, did not want to hear Oda Nobunaga say so much about the "secrets" of the Oda family and the personal thoughts of his young master. But Nobunaga often forced him to answer, and if he didn't answer, he would be punished by Nobunaga, so Maeda Inu Chiyo had to cooperate obediently, and this time he heard Nobunaga ask him again, so he had to cooperate hard:

"Matsudaira ...... of Mikawa"

"Hmm. Now he should live in the Shogun. Chiyo Takechiyo gave me a tricky gift. ”

"Gifts?"

"The rock chamber."

Maeda Inu Chiyo immediately didn't dare to respond. Iwamuro is the concubine of the family governor Oda Oda Nobuhide. She is only eighteen years old and has recently given birth to a son for Oda Nobuhide. Iwamuro is the daughter of Iwamuro Sun Saburo, the younger brother of Atsuta Kato Shosuke, and Oda Nobuhide fell in love with her at first sight, precisely because Takechiyo was placed in the library house back then. When Ansho Castle fell, Oda Nobuhide went to the book's house to discuss the exchange of hostages, and happened to run into Iwamuro. Regarding the hostage exchange, Oda Nobuhide ignored Nobunaga's suggestion, but he took Iwamuro, who was only sixteen years old at the time, into a side room.

Oda Nobuhide was forty-two years old at the time, but he was so immersed in the pampering of a sixteen-year-old woman that he couldn't extricate himself. Led by the Iwamuro family, calls for the abolition of Nobunaga's heirship are growing. But these were all family affairs of the Oda family, and although he often heard his father and his retainers talking about these things secretly at home, it was really difficult to comment on them outside. Besides, Maeda Inu Chiyo also knew that the young master of the Tao only told him this, just to express the anger in his heart, and then he would take action.

"It has to be." Sure enough, after a while, Nobunaga stood up and looked out of the courtyard with cold eyes, "Iwamuro must be driven away!" ”

"If you don't drive my father out of Suemori Castle, Owari will be in chaos." Nobunaga's tone was firm and cold.

The lord of Suemori Castle is Nobuyuki, the younger brother of Nobunaga. Oda Nobuhide let Iwamuro live in the inner court of Suemori Castle on the grounds that Nobuyuki was unmarried, and he rarely went to his home city Furuto Castle since then.

"There have been too many bastards in the vicinity of Suemori Castle recently, such as Hayashi Sado, Shibata Gonroku, Sakuma Uemon Brothers, and Nobukiyo Inuyama. If you sit idly by, there will be chaos. "These people are plotting to depose Nobunaga and are constantly persuading Oda Nobuhide. They wanted to expel Nobunaga and rishinobu to inherit the great cause. Oda Nobunaga thought he should fight back.

As if thinking of the funny scene after the counterattack, Oda Nobunaga did suddenly laugh at this time, "Hahaha, I'm the No. 1 bastard in Owari, and I'm competing with my father for a concubine, so no one will make a fuss." ”

"Huh? Young Master...... You...... Do ...... that" Maeda Inu Chiyo was still wondering what the young lord Nobunaga was going to do, and after listening to Nobunaga's words, he immediately understood that the young master was going to "snatch" the concubine Iwamuro of the family governor Oda Nobuhide, so as to make the family governor Oda Nobuhide stop indulging in wine. Chiyo, a Maeda dog who has been influenced by the culture of the wealthy family since he was a child, was immediately taken aback, this is really a big rebellion. Sometimes the environment is really able to train people, Maeda Inu Chiyo is also a teenager, but it seems to be very familiar with the things between these wealthy families.

"If it were someone else, he would not spare it. But if it's me, it's a different story. ”

"That's ...... Is it deliberately disrespectful to the Governor...... Young master, no! ”

"Less verbose! Just follow me, and when the time comes, just stand by and watch the show! ”

"Humph!" Nobunaga waved his hand, "Listen. He has passed the age of confusion, but he is still obsessed with beauty, and he wants to provoke a fight between me and Nobuyuki. For the sake of the long-term plan of the family and the people, this kind of unscrupulous person should be killed as soon as possible. I'm going to drive the Iwamuro away, do you understand? I will only scold him, and if he does not know what is going on, he will definitely shoot me. ”

"What then?"

"Fight! In a battle, the brotherhood of father and son is completely disregarded, all for the cause and the people. Do you understand? I'm leaving, get my clothes! Nobunaga stood up and neatly fastened his belt. But Maeda Inu Chiyo didn't get up, and he was very uneasy. Nobunaga then called out two maids from outside the courtyard to come in and help him get dressed, and then he was ready to go.

Maeda Inu Chiyo persuaded again: "Young master, you can't deepen everyone's misunderstanding of you anymore. Please be cautious. "Sometimes it's really sinful to be around such a bold young master.

"Ha Luha, Inu Chiyo, are you afraid of being punished for this? Ha, you're getting more and more cowardly. Nobunaga laughed and scolded, but then his face sank again, and he stared at Inuchiyo and said, "Listen, if you don't have the courage to follow me, then go back as soon as possible, and don't follow me anymore." ”

"Young master, your subordinates don't dare, no matter where the young master goes, your subordinates will definitely go to the soup for the young master." Just kidding, if he was driven away by Nobunaga because of this, it would be strange if he didn't be scolded to death by the family when he returned.

"Young master, young master......" Just as Oda Nobunaga finished scolding Maeda Inu Chiyo angrily, an urgent call suddenly sounded outside the courtyard. (To be continued......)
