Chapter 1968 The confidence of the Iga Maeda family

Yoshihiro Saba had an in-depth discussion with Maeda Toshiie, and not only did he get a two-way strategy to keep his wisdom, but he also became more determined on what political line he should take in the future.

Afterwards, Yoshigan Shiba stayed at the ancestral home for another two days. Toshiie Maeda understood the situation and sent a letter to Iga Maeda's house in advance to help the saint beat the front station first.

Iga country, Ueno Castle.

Maeda Yoshida gave birth only a few days later than Maeda Toshiie, and now she has regained some strength.

But she has never cared about housework and likes to interact with intellectuals. Now she is even more obsessed with the construction of Terako House. She has left all household affairs to her mother, Maeda Toshihisa, and only asks for money.

In the backyard of the hotel, Toshihisa Maeda is reading a letter from Toshiya Maeda with a serious look on his face.

However, Maeda Toshiji was teasing his beloved daughter, laughing and joking as if he didn't care at all, which made his mother, Maeda Toshihisa, look ugly.

After finishing reading the letter, Maeda Toshihisa smashed the letter on the tatami, which frightened the child in Maeda's arms and started crying.

The mother and daughter hurriedly coaxed the child together, and finally managed to put the child to sleep.

Maeda shook his child and complained.

"Mother scared Tora Chiyo."

Maeda Riku said with an unhappy look on his face.

"The Toshi family's nicknamed dog Chiyo, she just gave her baby her own nickname, why are you joining in the fun?

Tora Chiyo, Inu Chiyo, do you want everyone in the world to know that you want to crush her?

The two Maeda families are on the same page, but you always have these disputes of temper, and what should you do if the Lee family misunderstands you? Is the relationship between the two families still not getting along? "

Maeda benefit sneered.

"Maeda Toshiie is such a smart person, how would she ruin the friendly relationship between the two families by getting angry over such a trivial matter?

Even for a trouble as big as the Honnoji Incident, she can think of a good solution for the saint. Why do you worry about her? "

Maeda Riku said heartbrokenly.

"I'm worried about the Li family? I'm worried about you!

The Li family wrote a letter to inform them, expressing the saint's true thoughts overtly and secretly. This is to treat my family well. Don't be ignorant of what is good and what is evil! "

Maeda benefit snorted.

"She is all-rounded and good at everything. Even though Mitsuhide Akechi caused such a huge disaster, she was able to get away with it. It's really amazing!

How could there be such a severe punishment in the world for adopting Oda Kimaru to be raised by Akechi Mitsuhide? Simply unheard of!

Akechi Mitsuhide himself had a miscarriage and lost a divine descendant, so Toshiie Maeda gave her another one. Is this considered punishment? The most ridiculous thing in the world! "

Maeda Riku said coldly.

"You are the only one who is smart? Are you the only one who has a loud voice?

The saint said this is punishment, this is punishment! Who dares to refute? Do those Oda retainers dare not second the proposal? Do people in the world dare to make new criticisms?

What does the saint care about? It is Akechi Light that must be preserved! It's Oda Kimaru that must be safe!

You have known the saint for more than ten years, but you still don’t understand his temperament? Li Jia is sympathizing with the saint's difficulties and saying some inconvenient words for the saint.

As long as the saint is happy, it will be fine. If the people of the world are not convinced, they can use swords and guns to refute.

This is called wisdom, you should learn more! "

Maeda benefit hummed.

"There are things women should do and things they shouldn't do. If they know they can do something, they will do it. If they know they can't do it, they won't do it. This is what women should do and what they shouldn't do."

Maeda Riku frowned.

"It's okay to hang out with those Confucian scholars all day long, drop your book bag, and deceive others. Don't be so stupid that you deceive yourself!"

Maeda took advantage of it and curled his lips.

“There is still some truth in the teachings of Confucius and Mencius, and the sage also admired Confucianism quite a bit, so that’s why he included Confucianism in the Sibo selection test.

Mother, please don’t underestimate those Confucian scholars. The future prosperity of our family may depend on these guys who lose their book bags. "

Maeda Riku chuckled.

"Rely on them? Please listen to me clearly about the benefits. Knowledge is not strength, power is! Learn civil and martial arts and sell them to the emperor's family.

If it could not rely on imperial power, how could Confucianism be as prosperous as it is today in China?

Without power, these so-called cultural people are no better than dogs. Will they be able to farm? Do they know how to hunt? Can they weave?

You can use them now and support them, but you should never forget their true colors. They are here for your power. "

Over the years, the power of Maeda's interests has increased. It has been a long time since Maeda Riku has so mercilessly scolded his adopted daughter who is easily distracted.

But today, something must be said clearly.

Maeda was also silent for a while, and finally bowed and sighed.

"Mother is right. I am too much."

Maeda Riku nodded and said happily.

"As long as you understand, it's okay to use Confucian scholars for your own benefit, but don't let them take advantage of you, otherwise you will really become a joke.

You have also heard what Li Jia said in his letter. We should take some action to relieve the saint's worries. "

Maeda Yoshida said with a cold face.

"She, Maeda Toshiie, is the acting commander of Owari Shiba, and now she wants to teach me how to do things and ask me to send troops to rescue Akechi Mitsuhide?

Not to mention whether she has the authority to order me, the General-General of Kinki and the Deputy Governor of Kinki Sasaki, even if I am willing to listen, it would be an offensive thing, right?

Nizi Yukimori hated Akechi Mitsuhide so much that he had already announced that he would not allow any family to rescue Akechi Mitsuhide.

Now that she is giving birth and unable to pay attention to Kinki affairs, if I jump out to speak against her at this time, wouldn't it mean that I would create a deadly feud? "

Maeda Toshihisa said calmly.

"You are the general of Kinki. You obey the orders of the saint and stabilize Kinki. Why do you need to worry about Nizi Yukimori's chaotic life? This is official business, not a personal grudge, and it cannot be regarded as a mortal enemy.

I know that you also hate Akechi Mitsuhide in your heart, so you acquiesced to Nizi Yukimori to come forward, and you hid behind the scenes and enjoyed watching the joke.

But things have their own priorities. At this moment, the saint's attitude has become clear. If you don't take action, you will not be justified. After all, you are the general of Kinki!

Akechi Mitsuhide is not the only one trapped in Katsuryuji Castle. Hosokawa Fujitaka and her child are also there, and they are divine descendants!

As descendants of gods, we should support each other. If you don't care about it, you are violating the taboo of a saint! "

Maeda's rogue interests were exposed on the spot by his mother, who cut her throat and spoke reluctantly.

"Akechi Mitsuhide killed Oda Nobunaga. The taboo she committed was no more serious than mine. Didn't the saint deliberately protect her at all costs?

Besides, how could I be as bad as my mother said? It's just that the change at Honnoji Temple was too sudden, and Akechi Mitsuhide took advantage of me while I was giving birth, so I couldn't react at all. "

Maeda Riku rolled his eyes.

"Are you feeling well now? Can you assume the responsibility of General-in-Chief of Kinki?

Don't worry about Mitsuhide Akechi, be your own loyal minister and general, and don't make any mistakes! "

Maeda raised his eyebrows.

"I know, I just gave the order.

Let Otani Yoshitsugi send troops north on my behalf. She has seniority and a strict temper. With her in charge, those in Kyoto will naturally not dare to make small calculations. "

Maeda Riku nodded, finally feeling a little satisfied. She looked at the absent-minded Maeda, her words of persuasion came to her lips, and she finally swallowed them.

The daughter has grown up and matured, and has her own ideas. Pushing her around like a child all the time will only damage the mother-daughter relationship and make them estranged, which is not good.

Maeda Riku sighed.

In fact, she is not optimistic about the Terakoya project that Maeda is obsessed with. Those Confucian scholars are not good people, and her daughter may not be able to get the bright future she wants.

But no matter what, the Iga-Maeda family cannot suffer losses. It is nothing more than the difference between small profits and big profits.

Maeda Rihisa's eyes looked at the sleeping Torachiyo in Maeda's arms, his eyes soft.

After all, the Iga Maeda family is a descendant of Shiba Kami, and those Confucian scholars do not dare to go too far. This is Maeda Rihisa's greatest confidence.
