Chapter 1274 Rewards and Punishments

Hearing Saito Tatsuko's name, Oda Nobunaga's eyes flashed fiercely, and he laughed.

"Who is Saito Longxing?"

Of course Oda Nobunaga knew who Saito Ryuko was. Before Saito Yoshiryu died, he served his daughter Yuanfu and sent Saito Ryuko out of Inabayama Castle.

There are many people who know about this matter.

Oda Nobunaga also had the idea of ​​chasing and killing, but after Dong Mino was digested by the Oda family, this thought faded away.

Saito Yoshiryu's basic plan is in Dongmino, and East and West Mino have been at odds with each other for a long time, which gave Oda Nobunaga room to divide and transform.

Now the East Mino has been swallowed by the Oda family, and the West Mino has long surrendered, and there is no trace of the Saito family in the entire Mino country.

If it is another martial arts master, there may be concerns about cutting grass and roots.But for Oda Nobunaga, who is ambitious in the world, she really doesn't care much about a missing little doll.

But even so, when someone mentioned Saito Longxing in front of her, it instinctively aroused her vigilance.

Akechi Mitsuhide continued smiling as if he didn't realize that he had stimulated Oda Nobunaga.

"Saito Yoshilong's daughter, she was named Longxing by her mother before she died of illness."

Oda Nobunaga nodded coldly.

"Oh, it turned out to be the evil seed left by the matricide."

Akechi Mitsuhide said seriously.

"His Highness Oda's words are a bit extreme, Saito Yoshiryu killed his mother and seized the throne, an unforgivable crime.

But Saito Longxing is not only her daughter, but also Saito Dosan's grandson, Nongkun's nephew, and you are also related by marriage. "

Oda Nobunaga sneered, and threw the paper fan on the side table.

"What? You came today to teach me how to be a man?"

Akechi Mitsuhide shook his head.

"How dare foreign ministers.

It's just that I think His Highness Zhitian is a meritocracy, which has the legacy of Cao Mengde.Even if Mr. Hashiba Hideyoshi comes from such a background, he can reuse it without sticking to one pattern.

Come to think of it, with your ambition, you won't argue with an ignorant little girl.

Nong-kun and I are cousins, and I don't want to see her die, and Saito's family name has no one to enshrine, so I just say a few words. "

Oda Nobunaga rubbed his chin, looking at what Akechi Mitsuhide said emotionally, with the utmost sincerity.

Island countries are different from China.

After the Song and Ming Dynasties, the Celestial Dynasty denounced Cao Cao as a traitor and compared people to Cao Cao, which was a curse.

However, the people of the island country have a very positive evaluation of Cao Cao, and they admire Cao Cao's indomitable and outstanding talents.

Akechi Mitsuhide compares Oda Nobunaga to Cao Cao, which is to praise her achievements, and it also implies that Oda Nobunaga has the ambition to seize the world.

At this point, Oda Nobunaga was a little confused about Akechi Mitsuhide's intention.

Akechi Mitsuhide tried his best to put all his strength on Saito Ryuko and Nokun, to show his position of Saito's relatives. Is this to marry Oda Nobunaga?
But she is the representative of the Shiba family sent by Shiba Yoshigin to Kyoto, and she is the Kyoto garrison appointed by Ashikaga Yoshiaki just now.

No matter how you look at it, he is a pillar of the shogunate who is valued and trusted by both sides of the shogunate.

Nobunaga Oda didn't know what she was trying to get relatives in front of him. Was it really just for Saito Ryuxing's future?
Oda Nobunaga asked tentatively.

"Mr. Nong also mentioned your cousin to me, and gave me a chance to take care of you.

It's just that you are in the shogunate, Akechihime, and you are deeply trusted by the general.In addition, Nobushige Tsudaden was fully responsible for the Shiba family's affairs in Beijing.

You said, a highly valued courtier like you, what qualifications do I have to take care of you?

Nongjun is just a husband and a Taoist family, ignorant and talking nonsense. "

Akechi Mitsuhide saw Oda Nobunaga's probing words, his heart was moved, and he pretended to sigh.

"It's just looking at the scenery, and only you know the difficulties."

Oda Nobunaga was surprised.

"Really?"

Akechi Mitsuhide saw Oda Nobunaga's face of disbelief, and smiled wryly.

"Jin Duo Hall puts benevolence and righteousness first, and outsiders see it as the king of righteousness and reason, but sometimes... it is too emphatic.

Miyoshi went to Luo, and the general was murdered. As the person in charge of the Shiba family in Beijing, I must bear the blame.

Jin Duodian has asked me to take it back, and I want to comment on the merits and demerits of the past two years.I am also helpless.Putting all your heart into everything is no match for your majesty's fraternity, benevolence and righteousness. After all, you can't escape your guilt.

What does the catastrophe of the shogunate have to do with me, a subject of the Shiba family?But the lord is guilty of the Wu family's righteousness, and I have no way to refute it, so I have to admit it.

After entering Beijing, I saw that His Highness Oda promoted the meritocracy, reformed the bad government, and Hashiba Hideyoshi-sama was able to rise to the sky in one step with such a background, I was very envious. "

Akechi Mitsuhide's words were a bit blatant.

This is to blame Shiba Yoshigin for treating the official affairs of the shogunate as the family affairs of the Shiba family, and using this to judge the retainers as crimes, which is suspected of unfair rewards and punishments.

As for Oda Nobunaga, as long as you are capable and valuable, you can be a high-ranking official and sit in a high position, regardless of your background.

It's a comparison, it's infuriating.

Akechi Mitsuhide expressed his dissatisfaction, and it was impossible for Oda Nobunaga to directly believe her one-sided words, and just rubbed his forehead in a perfunctory manner.

"Jin Duodian and I are old acquaintances. He is generous and benevolent. Akechi Ji, you think too much. Maybe things are not as bad as you think."

Akechi Mitsuhide smiled wryly.

"Jin Duo hall is generous, and I know that my life is safe. But my territory will be reduced, what should the retainers who follow me do?
In recent days, just after the establishment of Siboling, Jindo Temple moved to Kanto.The income from those territories is the result of the hard work of my retainers and I, and it is all our hard work. "

When Akechi Mitsuhide said this, Oda Nobunaga believed it a little bit.

The officials in the Ming Dynasty were full of economics, and they had a deep understanding of etiquette, justice, integrity and shame.After ten years of hard work, he has been an official for thousands of miles, but he still seeks fame, fortune and money.

The samurai families in this island country value their family business more than their lives, and they have no loyalty at all, they are only interested in profit.

The wise family has developed the recent Sibo territory for more than two years, and Shiba Yoshigin, the lord, is just a hands-off shopkeeper, and has never cared about anything.

At this moment, the righteous and awe-inspiring reduction of the territory is really smooth.With the temperament of the Wu family, who can be convinced?

Akechi Mitsuhide has a different heart because of this, but it is not difficult to understand.

What's more, she also has the marriage line of Mr. Nong, and the nomination certificate of Saito Longxing, and she has the opportunity to change her family.

Oda Nobunaga didn't know that Akechi Mitsuhide had a martyr's devout belief in Shiba Yoshihiko, and the self-ashamed admirer.

Using the universality of the samurai to catch Mitsuhide Akechi's thoughts, he naturally fell into Mitsuhide Akechi's trap.

Oda Nobunaga thought for a while and asked.

"The general values ​​you and is willing to appoint you as the garrison of the capital. Why don't you ask the general for help?"

Oda Nobunaga believed it a little bit, but Ashikaga Yoshiaki would appoint Akechi Mitsuhide as the Kyoto garrison, obviously he valued Akechi Mitsuhide very much.

Since Akechi Mitsuhide was dissatisfied with Shiba Yoshigin, why didn't he ask Ashikaga Yoshiaki, why did he come to him, a foreigner, to beg for mercy?
Akechi Mitsuhide laughed.

"The general has some affection for me, but I think you are a better choice."

"Oh?"

"The general is not your opponent."

Oda Nobunaga glanced at Akechi Mitsuhide and asked.

"So you want to rely on me?"

Akechi Mitsuhide showed surprise and asked back.

"Why did His Highness Oda say that?

I'm just here to plead for Saito Longxing, please look at Nong-kun's face and give this child a way out. "

Oda Nobunaga was taken aback for a moment, and his expression instantly fell.Since he doesn't intend to work, why does this bastard say that there are a lot of things, is he playing me?
Unexpectedly, Mitsuhide Akechi moved faster, kowtowed to the ground and said.

"The foreign minister is an important minister of the Shiba family, and he is valued by the general, how can he easily switch to a foreign domain?
I implore His Highness Oda to give Saito Ryuxing a way out. I and Nokun are cousins, and I really don’t want to see her suffer the pain of losing her blood again.

Her relatives are running out! "

Oda Nobunaga calmed down, looked at Akechi Mitsuhide who was lying on the ground, and suddenly reacted.

If Akechi Mitsuhide left for Shiba's house today, her territory in Shiba's house would be gone, and her trust in Ashikaga Yoshiaki would also be gone. What else would Oda Nobunaga value about her?

This guy is very clear about her own value. She repeatedly emphasized that she is for the sake of her children and her relatives, which is really cunning.

Oda Nobunaga chuckled and said.

"Is it Saito Longxing? I see.

We are all relatives, and I don't want to make Mr. Nong cry anymore, so let this matter pass. "

Akechi Mitsuhide straightened up and said joyfully.

"His Highness Oda is kind, and Nong-kun will be very happy."

Oda Nobunaga said.

"By the way, you didn't bring that child?"

Akechi Mitsuhide shook his head and said.

"I'm traveling between Kyoto and the neighboring provinces of Japan. It's not convenient for me to take my children with me, so I'll leave them to my retainers to treat them kindly for the time being."

Oda Nobunaga nodded and said.

"I'm going back to Mino soon, and I will tell Nong-kun of your kindness to Saito Ryuxing and to Nong-kun. I believe she will be very happy that I still have such a family member I can rely on.

By the way, when it becomes more stable in recent days, I will move the city to South Omi, and rebuild a new city in Antu Village next to Guanyin Temple City.

At that time, Mr. Nong will follow, how close you two are. "

Akechi Mitsuhide nodded.

"There must be more contacts, but I'm afraid of disturbing His Royal Highness Oda, and I'm also worried that Mr. Nong will find it annoying."

Oda Nobunaga laughed and said.

"How can there be such a thing, Mr. Nong will be very happy, I promise."

The two had a tacit understanding and acquiesced to this close relative.

With this relationship, Oda Nobunaga found a secret door between Shiba's house and the shogunate.

In her opinion, Akechi Mitsuhide is an excellent speculator.Being a minister of Shiba's family, being loyal to the shogunate, and marrying himself, he really deserves the name of being a good dancer.

Oda Nobunaga is very confident that his power is expanding day by day, and more and more people will choose to step on two boats.

Akechi Mitsuhide wasn't the first, but he won't be the last.It's just that she stood up and down again, which was a little shameless.

Akechi Mitsuhide was also very satisfied with this meeting.Oda Nobunaga doesn't believe her, but is intrigued by her worth.

Oda Nobunaga valued her value, so why didn't she use Oda Nobunaga's value to infiltrate the Oda family.

The world of women is no better than the world of men. Women are far less sentimental than men because of their physiological structure.The status of the husband behind the Wu family is also much higher than that of the world of patriarchs.

If he could connect with Nong-kun, Mitsuhide Akechi would be interested in using this thread to stir things up.

The Oda family has a big business, Owari school, Mino school, Jinji school, etc. There are many hills, which is very interesting.

---

After meeting Oda Nobunaga, Akechi Mitsuhide left Kyoto with satisfaction. She felt that she had stepped on the bottom line of Ashikaga Yoshiaki and Oda Nobunaga.

Shiba Yoshigin's attitude of staying out of the matter made Akechi Mitsuhide a bit more valuable to be wooed by both parties.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki believes in her ability and loyalty, and intends to reuse her.Oda Nobunaga seems to be more interested in the interior of the Shiba family, and regards Akechi Mitsuhide's overtures as a starting point for intervention.

After Akechi Mitsuhide successfully reached a tacit agreement with the two parties, he returned to the territory of Chishiba.She knew very well that she had to be miserable enough.

I have sold so hard in front of Ashikaga Yoshiaki and Oda Nobunaga, if Shiba Yoshigin just punished himself with small punishments, it would be a waste of two good shows.

Yoshigin Shiba did not disappoint her either.

Long before Akechi Mitsuhide returned, Yoshigin had communicated privately with Katsuhisa Niko, Yukimori Yamanaka, and Maeda Masayoshi.

As long as Akechi Mitsuhide came back, he quickly completed a series of rewards and punishments, and there was no intention of talking with Akechi Mitsuhide at all.

Nizi Shengjiu was praised as the first meritorious service, and he was granted the title of Peking University and Sanqianshi Zhixing.Including her original [-] shi of Nizi's family outside the mountain city, there are a total of [-] shi.

The newly added three thousand stones originally belonged to Dao Shengmeng, and Dao Shengmeng was transferred to the Guandong Dahu to receive [-] stones.

Yukimori Yamanaka was also sealed in Kanto, leading the five thousand stones of Tochio City.

Katsuhisa Katsuhisa Niko managed the [-] stone Beidai and Shiba Research Institute under the names of Shima Katsuo and Yamanaka Yukimori.

So far, Nizi Shengjiu has taken charge of Peking University and the [-] stone territory, and his strength has greatly increased.

On the other side of Iga Country, Mitsuhide Akechi's territory was greatly reduced from seven thousand koku to three thousand koku.

These four thousand stones were granted to meritorious ministers.

Maeda Yili was awarded [-] stones for his meritorious service, and received [-] stones from Iga.Otani Kichiji was awarded one thousand stones for his meritorious service, and received six thousand stones from Ihe.

Yagyu Zongmo's Yagyu group assisted Nizi Katsuhisa in suppressing Jinjisibo. He was awarded one thousand stones, Peking University and two thousand stones, and Iga one thousand stones.

In addition, the third prince of the hundred lands was awarded one thousand stones for his meritorious service, and received two thousand stones from Ihe.Fujibayashi Xing was convicted, Fujibayashi's family was deprived of a thousand stones, and Fujibayashi Muku received a thousand stones.

The Takata sisters who are far away in Sakai Port still receive two thousand shi in vain, and they are called from the Shibo office.

After rewarding and punishing him for his meritorious service, Yoshihiro Shiba promoted Nizi Shengjiu as the chief patriarch, and the Prime Minister recently took charge of affairs in Sibo.

Maeda Masayoshi is still in charge of the military, Akechi Mitsuhide is still in charge of negotiations between Kyoto and the shogunate, and Takada Yoshino continues to be in charge of recent business affairs.

However, Nizi Shengjiu has the right to control the three people, and it is no longer the way the four people divided their authority and acted independently.

This time, Yiyin was the highest decision-making power in nearly a few days, and it was handed over to Nizi Shengjiu.

After completing all the arrangements, he was going to leave Jinji and go to Kanto again to help Uesugi Terotora, a prodigal bitch, wipe her ass.

At this moment, a letter from Miyoshi's family slowed him down.

Originally, he intended to take another look at Xue Nai's Yiyin before going to Guandong, and summoned the important officials who had not left to discuss the matter.
