Hanzawa Naoyoshi finally left Kanto in despair. Yoshihiro's order to her was to return to Kinki Tamonyama Castle and resume her work.

The subsequent anti-corruption wave in Kanto no longer had anything to do with Hanzawa Naoyoshi. She returned to the Qizhu side, and Honda Masanobu did not dare to arrange any new tasks for this old subordinate.

Hanzawa Naoyi became famous in one battle this time. Although she escaped the fate of committing seppuku, outsiders don't know what the saint thinks of her.

Honda Masanobu, an old fox, would naturally not cause trouble for himself. Hanzawa Naoyoshi would definitely sit on the bench and collect dust in the archives when he returned.

As for Hanzawa Naoyoshi herself, she naturally knows the saint's intentions. After this trip to Kanto, she has been firmly tied to this descendant of the Yuigahama family.

Her life was saved by Yui Uigahama, so naturally she would work hard for the Yuigahama family in return for saving her life.

The saint frankly told Banze Naoyi about Xiaotuanzi's life experience, which was to put this kind of kindness on Banze Naoyi and let her know how to go in the future.

Hanzawa Naoyi's loss was when she realized that her feat of stabbing Guan Dongtian was perhaps not as important as Xiaotuanzi's backstory in the eyes of the saint.

He was speechless by the saint's theory of water conservancy that would benefit the world forever, and eventually lost the qualification to participate in the subsequent anti-corruption campaign in Kanto.

Hanzawa Naoyoshi seemed to have survived successfully, but most of his pride was stripped away by the saint.

She was able to live not because saints cherish talents, but because of the three-year-old little dumpling, which made her a little depressed because of her arrogance.

It is a pity for talents to let their pearls gather dust, but if the leader really thinks that you are insignificant, it is actually even more depressing.

Although she claims to be a natural talent, she is actually a lucky minister. This gap makes Naoyoshi Hanzawa dumbfounded. But now that the matter has come to this, she can only admit the reality and return to Kinki in despair.

In fact, in Yoshigan's heart, Hanzawa Naoyoshi is by no means as inconsequential as he reveals on his face. Yoshigan is very interested in this talent.

But just because she has signed up, she needs to sharpen her sharp temperament. This is the great sword that Yiyin left to Xiaotuanzi.

If you don't smooth out the thorns on the handle of your sword before taking it out of its sheath, won't you risk piercing your precious daughter?

The thoughts of the saint are unpredictable, and Kanto is still shrouded in the fog of uncertainty.

Hanzawa Naoyoshi's sad exit could not reassure the Kanto samurai family. The saint's move to let go of the instigator was itself full of political symbolism.

The Kanto corruption case is never over.

Because the death of the four nuns was tacitly approved by the saint, all the parties in Guandong, who had felt a little relieved, now became worried again and closely watched the saint's every move.

At this time, Yoshihiro summoned Sanada Nobushige to Edo Castle to formally grant him the position of acting official of the Kanto Shishao and the status of a permanent member of the Grand Council Standing Council.

For a time, Sanada Nobushige was like a raging fire cooking oil, flowers blooming, and arousing the jealousy of countless people in Kanto.

In late winter, the north wind is cold and blows up thousands of layers of snow.

Dao Shengmeng stood in the courtyard, reaching out to hold a roll of falling snow. When she opened her hand again, only a trace of snowflakes turned into moisture and dissolved in the palm of her hand.

It was getting late now, and she looked at the brightly lit saint's place of residence in the distance. The night there was quiet, leaving only the dim lights in the snowy scene.

Edo Castle is the residence of Shima Katsume, and the situation in the city cannot escape her attention, so she knows that the saint has summoned Sanada Nobuhige to the hospital not long ago to pay homage. Summoned at midnight. . Dao Shengmeng closed his eyes in pain, knowing in his heart that he would have another sister tonight.

The current situation in Guanbazhou is very complicated.

Originally, everything was heading towards peace and harmony, but the saint suddenly spared Hanzawa Naoyi and allowed her to leave Kanto safely, which made the atmosphere a little tense.

Then Sanada Nobushige was called to go south. Under the difficult conditions of the heavy snow in the middle of winter, which closed the Echigo Mountains, he quickly entered Kanpachishu through a small road, from Tobi Castle in Echigo Province to Edo Castle in Musashi Province.

Others still couldn't see clearly what the saint was thinking, but Dao Shengmeng already felt that something was getting more and more wrong. The saint's mind seemed to have changed, and he seemed determined to punish corruption severely.

The source of the corruption in Kanto this time is the Wu Ke Giri Promotion Association. The Wu Ke Giri Promotion Association was the first to launch activities in the middle and lower reaches of the Tone River, and the relationship network along the Tone River is the densest.

If a saint really wants to fight corruption ruthlessly, he must first find a knife that is handy, a good knife that can firmly implement the orders of the central government.

The three powerful clans of Uesugi, Takeda and Hojo have intertwined interests in Kanhachishu. They are not suitable and cannot handle this sword well.

Shima Katsuki is the core official of the Shiba family in Kanto. Especially after Yamanaka Yukimori left Kanto, Shima Katsuru's position became more and more important.

The saint was not happy for Dao Shengmeng to get involved, but wanted to take her out.

Anti-corruption is a very offending thing. Shima Shengmeng fell into this vortex, which is not conducive to maintaining neutral and friendly interpersonal relationships and playing a greater role in Kanto.

Obviously, the Saint ultimately chose Nobushige Sanada.

The north wind and snowflakes slapped Dao Shengmeng's face, as cold as a whip. She wondered if it was because of her own advice that made the saint make this determination?

But even out of his own considerations, when Sanada Nobushige actually entered the saint's courtyard in the middle of the night, Shima Katsuruo still felt very uncomfortable.

The identity of the acting official of the Kanto Palace was given, and the identity of the executive director was also given. Many people in Tochio Castle and Shimogoshi had to obey the leadership. Sanada Nobunshige was equivalent to replacing the power of Yamanaka Yukimori.

Such great power naturally requires a new status to balance it. The wild monkey from the Jiaxin Mountains successfully climbed onto the holy couch and became a descendant of the gods.

The three powerful clans and Shima Katsuo were not suitable to act as swordsmen, but Sanada Nobushige was a suitable candidate.

The Sanada clan came from the Koshinobu Mountains, and the core Hime warriors came from the Shino clan. They rose to power with their military exploits and were alienated from the Kanhachishu samurai family.

Sanada Nobushige was suddenly promoted to a high position, and he needed the new official's three skills to establish his prestige and expand his power.

Since they are not familiar with Guan Bazhou and have the support of the saint, the Sanada people will definitely be willing to serve as this anti-corruption steel knife, cutting other people's flesh and establishing their own prestige.

The Sanada clan has long been a force in the Shiba family, but their rise to power is purely based on military merit. Shima Katsuki, the Kanto Shiba leader's deputy, has never had the confidence to govern the Sanada clan.

Now, Sanada Nobushige has taken Yamanaka Yukimori's place and is on the saint's bed, and Shima Katsuo can't control her even more.

Thinking of this moment, Dao Shengmeng felt a little melancholy. The saint had sacrificed too much for the Sibo family. It was really like a cat and a dog. .

Daosheng shook her head violently, turned around and walked into her room. She didn't want to think about anything now, she just wanted to get drunk and rest.
