different warring states of japan

Chapter 2095

The general trend of the world cannot be changed by human power.

Ashikaga Yoshiuji and Ikeda Harusuke finally came to their senses. If they continued to refuse to change, what happened to the top officials of the Kyoto shogunate today would be their tomorrow.

As the saying goes, one step back opens up a new world. Only by letting go can you find a way out.

I heard a lot about mountain cities and lived in the museum.

The first snow of early winter has just fallen. It didn’t feel cold when it was snowing, but after the snow stopped, the heat was absorbed by the accumulated snow, and it froze my heart.

Braziers had already been placed in the four corners of Yiyin's dormitory. High-quality smokeless charcoal was burning in the braziers, with sparks popping out from time to time.

There is also a larger brazier on the porch outside the sliding door, which keeps the cold brought by the winter wind out.

The room was warm like spring. The two shadows under the candlelight sometimes merged and sometimes entangled, just like a busy shadow play.

I don’t know how much time passed, but with a satisfied hum, the merged shadows finally stopped moving.

Yiyin took a deep breath and reached out to touch the woman lying beside him. The woman trembled, endured the fatigue afterwards, and took the towel from the basin to wring it out.

Closing his eyes and enjoying the woman wiping the sweat off his body, Yiyin said slowly.

"Take a rest first, there's no rush. Wipe yourself off, you're sweating all over."

The woman's hand paused and said sadly.

"Does the Saint think that I am not serving you well? Indeed, I am old and physically weak. I sweat all over when I move, which makes the Saint feel uncomfortable."

Yiyin opened his eyes and sighed helplessly.

"Who said you were old?"

He reached out and touched the woman's face and smiled.

"You're mature, I like that."

The woman looked up at Yoshigin with a complicated expression. She was Takeda Shingen's closest lover, Kosaka Masanobu, who had voluntarily given up everything and went to Kyoto to serve Takeda Yoshinobu.

Kousaka Masanobu was originally beautiful and was teased by Takeda Shingen as the most beautiful woman in the world. She was indeed very beautiful.

But time flies. Ten years ago, during the Battle of Kawanakajima, she was already an important official of Takeda. Now she is getting older and older, and is far less youthful and energetic than a girl like Date Masamune.

In this medieval era when the average life expectancy was only in the twenties, one could call oneself an old woman at the age of thirty. Kousaka Masanobu really felt that he was old, and the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes could no longer be concealed.

But to Yiyin, this is sheer nonsense.

Women in their thirties are at the peak of their maturity, especially the female warriors in the world of female supremacy, who have excellent physiques and do not look old at all, but are instead more charming.

Over the years, Takasaka Masanobu followed the Doxinshu as a retainer of Takeda Yoshinobu, and Yoshigin ate a lot of this ripe peach, and he developed a love for it.

Takasaka Masanobu and Yamanaka Yukimori are the two most beautiful female warriors that Yoshigin has ever met in his life. Compared to that cute and stupid deer, Takasaka Masanobu is a bit older, but she also seems more attractive.

It’s a pity that although Yoshigin had visited her many times over the years, Takasaka Masanobu never got pregnant.

In the past two years, Takasaka Masanobu seemed to have given up. Originally, she and Takeda Shingen were lovers, and she deeply loved Yoshigin, so she treated Takeda Yoshinobu as her own daughter and took great care of her.

As for Yoshigin, he would occasionally invite Kousaka Masanobu to have in-depth discussions with him, which also made her the most important minister of the Takeda family and a secret envoy who could communicate with the saint.

Hearing Yoshigin's explicit statement, Kousaka Masanobu blushed and lowered his head to continue wiping the saint's body, massaging his muscles and relieving the fatigue after the intense exercise.

Yiyin closed his eyes and continued to enjoy the beauty's service, and asked casually.

"How's Yixin doing lately?"

Kousaka Masanobu replied.

“Everything is fine, young master.

Since the Second Prince came down, the Third Prince has become much more sensible, and the three little princes get along very well, which makes me feel a lot more relaxed. "

Yiyin smiled helplessly.

Kousaka Masanobu spoke for Uesugi Miyuki intentionally or unintentionally, obviously under the guidance of Takeda Shingen. These women are all shrewd and each one is more cunning than the other.

The relationship between the Uesugi and Takeda families seems to have become closer.

Takeda Shingen knows how to behave, and Uesugi Kenshin cares most about his daughter, Uesugi Miyuki. As long as Takeda Shingen clearly supports Uesugi Miyuki to take the throne, Uesugi Kenshin will be her most loyal ally. As for Takeda Yoshinobu, the Takeda family never thought that she could inherit the Shiba family business.

After all, since the day when Takeda Shingen and Kousaka Masanobu put Yoshigin in various positions in Shiota Castle, Takeda Yoshinobu had already lost the possibility of succession.

Born without love and seizing the divine seed by force is the original sin borne by the descendants of the Takeda God.

Although Yoshigane doesn't care about this, the samurai in the world do care about it, and Takeda Shingen also cares about it, so there is nothing that can be done about it.

Yiyin sighed.

"Yixin is a good child. You are being too harsh on her."

No matter how well or how hard Takeda Yoshinobu worked, his biological mother and godmother would always praise other people's children. This was really unfair to Takeda Yoshinobu.

Kousaka Masanobu shook his head and said.

“This is the fault of Lord Takeda, and it is also my fault, and the young master has suffered for us.

Fortunately, the Takeda family is blessed with great fortune, and His Highness Takeda still has a young master to look forward to, but I... Yantian City blasphemed the saint, and I deserve to be childless in this life."

Yiyin touched Kousaka Masanobu's little face and sighed.

"Don't think too much. Try harder and maybe you will get it."

Kousaka Masanobu shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"For so many years, the saint has given me many opportunities, but I was useless. I have given up and have searched for an excellent girl in the clan to inherit my lineage and become my adopted daughter.

Please rest assured, Saint, the descendants of Kousaka Masanobu will continue to serve the descendants of Takeda Yoshinobu with loyalty. "

Yiyin said helplessly.

"Why should I worry? I understand your loyalty, and so does Takeda Shingen. It's just that you're suffering.

Don't always follow Takeda Shingen and fool around. I can see how good Miyuki is and she doesn't need your help in whispering in my ear.

You should praise Yi Xin more. It's not easy for her. She has to bear so much at such a young age. She is as dull as a little adult."

Kousaka Masanobu smiled awkwardly.

"Shengming is no more than a saint, but the young master was born unlucky..."

Yiyin interrupted.

"Bad luck, don't listen to those people outside. I never said that Takeda Yoshinobu had no right of succession. Every child of me, Shiba Yoshigin, is qualified to inherit my business."

Hearing what Yoshigin said, Takasaka Masanobu was not happy at all. Instead, he became even more frightened and kowtowed to the ground.

"Saint, be careful with your words! Your words will harm the young master!"

Yiyin sighed helplessly.

"I know, I know, you are thinking too much, but the child is innocent.

My daughters are all good children. They are all my flesh and blood. I will not favor one over the other.

How you want to do it is your business, but I have something to tell you today.

All the descendants of the Sasaki gods are my blood, regardless of status. As the future ruler of the world, General Sasaki does not have the supreme status of having the final say.

She should be the most talented among the sisters, supporting the family for them.

Whoever has the ability among the descendants of the Shiba gods will take over the family, and the descendants are not ranked according to the nobility of their bloodline.

Do you understand it? "

Kousaka Masanobu sighed.

“A saint loves his children deeply, but reality is always unsatisfactory.”

Yiyin snorted.

“I know you don’t believe it, but I will protect my daughter, all my daughters.

The throne of the world changes in turn, and it is still unknown who will be in power tomorrow. Perhaps five hundred years later, General Shiba will be the descendant of Takeda Yoshinobu. "
