Chapter 1595 The Li family with super high EQ

After the autumn harvest, the weather gets cold very quickly. Even though the Kyoto Basin is surrounded by mountains and cut off from the cold current at sea, you can still feel the coolness in the autumn wind.

Maeda Toshiie only stayed in Iga Ueno Castle for one day before setting off for Kyoto again.

The second round of negotiations between the Shiba and Oda families has already begun, and Maeda Toshiie must arrive in Kyoto earlier to understand the situation.

As a special political product sandwiched between the Shiba and Oda families, the future of Owari Shiba may be determined in this negotiation.

As the helm of Owari Shibaling, Maeda Toshiie is more anxious than anyone else. She hopes to understand Shiba Yoshikin's thoughts as soon as possible, so as to clarify the next step of Owari Shibaling's strategy.

The handshake with Maeda's interests is also based on future strategic considerations.

The future of the Shiba family has broken away from the secular power of the traditional samurai family and has begun to move towards theocracy.This change made it difficult for all Shiba's important officials to predict and grasp the future.

Theocracy has once again descended on the island nation, but people don't know how to adapt to this new power base.

The only thing that is certain is that Shiba Yoshigin's bloodline will become an existence higher than Hanoi Genji's descendant, and become the only noble species in the island country.

Competing for the right to conceive the descendants of the divine-blood gods, and seeking better development for the future of the family, has become the consensus of Ji warriors who are qualified to board Shibo Yiyin's bed.

The alliance between the Maeda Toshiya and Maeda's interest means that the Maeda family has at least two quotas for the divine descendant families and is already invincible.

Compared with Maeda Masari, who is a cultural person, Maeda Toshiie is an excellent Ji samurai. She not only has extraordinary martial arts, but also has a keen political sense.

After confirming that the marriage dispute was falsified, Maeda Toshiie immediately reached a political alliance with Maeda Lie with a soft body.

After eight years, the Ryomaeda family came together again, surpassing the one party in Mount Nizi and becoming the number one force in the Shiba family.

---

After completing the political integration of the Maeda family, Maeda Toshiie continued to go to Luo, but Yoshihiro did not meet her in Kyoto, and someone brought her into Kurama.

Mount Anma is located in the north of Kyoto. The mountain is only 500 meters high, but it is a famous spiritual mountain in Kyoto. Many temples are located here.

Minamoto Yoshitsune, who is famous all over the world, spent his childhood in Kurama Temple.

The deity enshrined in the Kurama Temple is the trinity of Bishamonten, Avalokitesvara, and the guardian demon king, which can be said to be full of buffs.

Yiyin was in Anma Mountain at this time, not because his godhead existed in Anma Temple, but because he wanted to soak in the hot springs.

The geographical location of the Kyoto Basin is not on the hot spring belt, and there are few hot springs nearby. It can barely be regarded as a few springs of hot springs, all of which are in the northern mountainous area.

Among the two best springs, one is in Mount Saga in the northwest of Kyoto, and the other is in Mount Kurama in the northeast of Kyoto.

Mount Saga is close to Danba Kingdom, which is not the sphere of influence of Yiyin. If a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, Yiyin naturally does not go there to soak in the hot springs.

And Mount Kurama is located in the mountains between Kyoto and Takashima County in Omi, and both sides are the territory of the Shiba camp.

After Maeda Toshiie got the news, he didn't dare to be negligent, and quickly passed through Kyoto to Mount Kurama to meet Yoshigin.

The mountain hot springs gushed out naturally, and the surrounding area was surrounded by stone masonry to block the wind and turned into a soup pool.

Yiyin stretched out his hand, but couldn't see his palm print clearly in the mist, and couldn't help but wonder if he was too extravagant.

Before winter came, I ran out to soak in the hot springs. A group of Ji warriors ran over the whole mountain, just to make themselves safe to soak in the active spring on the mountainside.

Yiyin was thinking about something alone, when there was a sound of footsteps in the distance.

There are more than 20 steps from the house to the Yuchi. Maeda Toshiie's face appeared on the stairs, and then her still graceful body wrapped in a yukata appeared in front of Yoshigin.

There was sake on the tray beside Yoshihiro, and he drank a glass by himself, looked at Maeda Toshiie who was saluting, and said.

"The journey is tiring, let's go down and have a soak together, to relieve the fatigue."

Maeda Toshiie said shyly.

"I don't dare. I haven't seen the sage for many days. I'm afraid that I won't be able to restrain myself and ruin the sage's interest."

Yiyin laughed.

"That's even better, I miss you Lijia for a long time, just to relieve the pain of lovesickness.

Come on, today you and I meet honestly, just in this hot spring, and have a good talk. "

Maeda Toshiie no longer twitched, Shi Shiran took off his bathrobe and entered the soup pool.

Tangchi was only an inch, Yiyin pulled her into his arms, kissed her ear, and asked.

"Miss me?"

The two of them touched each other skin to skin, Maeda Toshiie's heart skipped a beat, the roots of his ears were already flushed, and he said in a low voice.

"I think about it day and night, and I miss the saint every day."

Yi Yin smiled, took down the wine bottle on the shore, poured it directly into Maeda Toshiie's mouth, kissed her deeply, and shared the wine.

. . .

When the two of them were dripping and enjoying their breath, it was already dusk, and the orange sunset shone through the mist in the pool, and they were so lazy that people couldn't get motivated.

Yiyin laughed.

"It's really hard to restrain myself. It's a pity that I got dirty with a pool of living spring."

Maeda Toshiie leaned on Yoshinori and said softly.

"The sage is a celestial being descended from the earth. He is not stained by a single dust. There is no reason to be dirty. It is a blessing to be able to blend into your celestial jade dew.

However, the continuous flow of the living spring will eventually wash away the blessings of the saint and become an ordinary spring again. "

Yiyin scratched her nose and smiled.

"As long as you can talk, if you say a little more, even if it's a lie to coax me, I'd love to hear it."

Maeda Toshiie stared at Yoshiyin with a dazed expression, and couldn't help stroking Yoshiyin's face with his hands.

"Saint, what I say is by no means empty words, every sentence comes from the heart.

It has been eight years, and you are still that boy, but have you ever aged in the slightest?And I, already an old man, am no longer the original me. "

Yoshigin looked at the infatuated Maeda Toshiie and fell silent.

Back then in Owari country, Maeda Toshiie was a 20-year-old Hime samurai, young and vigorous.

Now eight years have passed, and she is already 28 years old. In this era when she can call herself an old woman at the age of 30, she can't help feeling that her youth is gone forever.

Yiyin is pregnant with a cheat, and his physical fitness will always remain at 16 years old. Not only is his appearance youthful, but his physical fitness is also different from ordinary people.

No matter how he was raped by Takata Yokino, Takata Yukino, and Li Hua the night before, he would not suffer any real indulgence damage the next day except for a little back pain.

Because his body is always at the age of 16, he will always return to his best condition.

But Maeda Toshiie is different. She did silently dedicate her best years to Yoshihiro, overcoming obstacles for him.

How many eight years can there be in life?

Yiyin sighed and asked.

"Have you ever regretted it?"

Maeda Toshiie shook his head.

"I don't regret it, I'm just worried that I'm getting old and fading, and I won't be able to attract the eyes of saints anymore."

Yi Yin laughed.

"Talking nonsense, didn't you perform well just now? It made me want to stop and linger."

Maeda Toshie laughed.

"As long as the saint likes it."

It is not a good thing to spend a long time in the hot water, especially the two of them have experienced that incident again, and it is not suitable to continue the hot water.

Maeda Toshiie's servant Yoshigi got up, wiped his body and changed his clothes, and then followed Yoshigi back to the house to rest.

Outside the house, the serving warrior Ji left two cups of fragrant tea and bowed to leave.

Yiyin asked after taking a sip of hot tea.

"Is the road going well?"

Maeda Toshiie replied.

"Forgive me, saint. I was summoned by you. I didn't rush to Luo. Instead, I took a detour, went to Huangzi City to visit my mother, and then went to Iga Ueno City to meet Elder Sister and Yiyi."

Yiyin shook his head.

"This is not a military priority, and my order did not extend the deadline, so what is the crime.

Is Toshisho Maeda in good health?I haven't seen her in years either.

Maeda Toshihisa and your sister are deeply in love, so it's easy to say, Maeda Masari didn't give you face, did he? "

Maeda Toshie laughed.

"Thank you for your concern, my mother is fine.

Benefits are just arrogance, not unreasonable people. This time I went to Iga Ueno Castle, she gave me warm hospitality. We didn't get drunk that night, and we ended up drunk and fell asleep together.

Alas, it has been many years since we have had such a happy drink. The last time we did this was eight years ago. "

Yoshihisa was a little puzzled. He knew that although the relationship between Maeda Toshiie and Maeda Toshiya was lubricated by the relationship between Maeda Toshihisa, the relationship between the two was actually not good.

The crux of the problem is still in Yiyin. The so-called blue face is a disaster, and it does a lot of harm.

Maeda Yoshika toasted with Maeda Toshiie, this was beyond Yoshihiro's imagination, he couldn't help asking.

"Li Yi would entertain you happily, what kind of ecstasy did you give her?"

Maeda Toshie smiled lightly.

"I just had a sweet talk with her.

If we are lucky enough to have descendants of the gods, her child can be called Maeda Yoshitoshi, and mine can be called Maeda Yoshie. "

As soon as Yiyin heard it, he understood, shook his head and sighed.

"Yili, Yijia, you are really willing.

You are willing to be a concubine, and Maeda Toshihisa finally took back the descendants of the Maeda family in Huangzi City, no wonder Li Yi is so happy. "

Regarding the grievances and resentments between the two sisters of the Maeda family, Yi Yin witnessed the whole process with his own eyes and understood the resentment in Maeda Yili's heart very well.

Maeda Toshiie voluntarily gave up the heir, and Maeda Toshiya had to accept this favor for his mother Maeda Toshihisa.

Yoshihiro knew in his heart that Maeda Toshiie told him this was a frank statement that the two Maeda families would merge to become the number one power of the Shiba family.

Yiyin has no objection to this.

Maeda Toshiie and Maeda Masui are his indispensable right-hand men, and it is well-intentioned to stabilize the two Spo collars in the last few weeks for him.

The two of them are reconciled, and Yiyin is happy to see it succeed. It is nothing more than that he needs to pay attention to Maeda's family, and Maeda's interests will be shared equally in the future.

Yoshikin sighed for Maeda Toshiie, Maeda Toshiie didn't think it would be a pity to give up the Maeda family's descendant, she said.

"It doesn't matter whether the Maeda family is a descendant or a descendant. I am nothing more than helping Yili unravel the obsession in his heart."

Yiyin laughed.

"You can see how many warriors have been beaten to death for the sake of the dispute between the descendants and the concubines."

Wu family society emphasizes bloodlines and respects dignity. If you become a commoner, your descendants will be inferior to others and be driven by others.

If you want to get up, you have to wait until the troubled times to stand up. How many people can do it?
The three-generation general Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's great trump card of balancing and powerful samurai is to intervene in the succession of famous families and rule the heirs.

The obedient famous family bowed their heads to approve the general's ruling, and the disobedient ones drove the three thousand foot Lima back to the crowd, forcing the famous family to bow their heads.

With one fight and one pull, from then on, each family respected General Ashikaga, and the Ashikaga world was stabilized.

This shows how important the distinction between concubine and concubine is.However, Maeda Toshiie didn't think he cared, and immediately provoked Yoshiyin to make fun of him.

Maeda Toshiie said disapprovingly.

"The sage walks in the way of the gods, and we should not use the tradition of the martial arts to give birth to the descendants of the gods.

The concubines of the Qiantian family in Huangzi City are not important, the most important thing is being able to spread branches and leaves for the saints and shine the blood of the gods. "

Yiyin clapped the case and said.

"Well said, my descendants must be united as one, unlike the Wu family who separates the descendants, it should not be discussed based on the Wu family tradition!"

Masanobu Kosaka's words deeply hurt Yoshihiro's heart.What he is most worried about now is that his daughters will kill each other for power.

Maeda Toshiie's words made Yiyin's eyes shine, and he agreed with it.

The Wu family's division of concubine and concubine caused blood relatives to harm each other, and Yiyin naturally didn't want his children to take this bloody old road.

Although Yiyin hasn't figured it out yet, how to set up the power system of the descendants of the gods to avoid fighting and persecuting each other among the descendants of the gods is the most important basic condition.

Yiyin hopes that his descendants of the gods can unite as one, and the knife point is outward, and the future system design must also consider this aspect.

Maeda Toshiie didn't care about what the Maeda family's concubine said, and was very interested in Yoshiyin. Yoshiyin couldn't help but patted Maeda Toshiie's hand and said with a smile.

"Li Jia has a broad mind and a long-term vision, and I am very relieved.

In fact, I called you to Luoyang this time because I want to hear your opinion on something.

The two Shiba and Oda families are negotiating in Fushimi Castle to define the division of the territory after the war.

Oda Nobunaga proposed to me that the Owari Shiba area in Gujo Prefecture should be moved to Ono County, Echizen Province. What do you think? "

Yoshigin looked at the thoughtful Maeda Toshiie, waiting for her answer.

Maeda Toshiie is definitely an outlier in Shiba's family.

She is an old samurai from the Shimowari family, a confidant of Oda Nobunaga. She was in Owari and had a close relationship with the Owari samurai family. She went to Mino and had a good relationship with the Mino samurai family.

It can be said that Maeda Toshiie's emotional intelligence is extremely high, and he is good at making many friends and making enemies few. He is an excellent warrior Ji who everyone praises with a thumbs up.

Oda Nobunaga also had a headache for Maeda Toshiie.

The Oda family conspired to go to Luo, and the Maeda Toshiie informed Yoshihiro in Kanto.The Oda family and the Shiba family went to war, and Maeda Toshie's soldiers pointed directly at Gifu City, making Oda Nobunaga restless in the rear.

However, Maeda Toshiya has done so many things to the Oda family, the Oda retainers are still very friendly to her, and many samurai have close contacts with her.

Maeda Toshiie is like a soft thorn hidden in Oda Nobunaga's heart. He is usually respectful and does not pierce the thorn, but it explodes at critical moments, which makes people feel unspeakably uncomfortable.

But it is not easy to pull out this thorn.

Maeda Toshiie is cautious in doing things. Except for the interests of the Shiba family, he has always followed Oda Nobunaga's lead, obeyed and cooperated.

She upholds the practice of samurai giri, and even the Oda vassals recognize it. Oda Nobunaga wanted to grab her little tail to make trouble, but he couldn't catch it.

The special status of the Owari Shiba Territory is a historical legacy of the Owari and Oda families. The Shiba retainers in the Owari Territory are mixed together, and it is difficult to define the division.

If the matter is simply cut off, it will not be conducive to the harmony of the two families, and it will not be conducive to the future reunion that Oda Nobunaga has been thinking about.

In desperation, Oda Nobunaga could only find a way to throw Maeda Toshiie out of his core area of ​​Nobi Plains to reduce the threat to himself.
