A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

"Heita-chan, since you've come to Echigo, why don't you go to the castle?"

Winter is approaching, and Terutora Uesugi, who is either on the road to counterinsurgency or on the road to counterinsurgency, is finally free. After all, heavy snow is really not suitable for fighting, nor is it suitable for robbery.

Uesugi Teruhora seemed to be very familiar with Naoe Keituna's family, and he didn't need any family members to guide him as he strode towards the inner hall.

The three of them sat down in order. Naoe's family did not serve hot tea, but instead served hot wine to Uesugi Teruhu. As for the appetizer, there was only a plate of dried squid, but Teru Uesugi drank it happily.

After drinking three glasses of wine in a row, his face, which had been frozen by the wind outside, melted away, and Uesugi Teruhu smiled.

"It's not that I don't want to see His Highness. The reason for this is for Yamato to explain in detail to His Highness."

Koheta raised the wine plate and signaled to Uesugi Teruhu from a distance. Then he raised his plate and drank it all in one gulp, speaking sincerely.

"Oh? Come on, Yamato Mamoru."

"Your Highness, I would like to take the liberty of saying that the matter of succeeding the king will be successful." Naoe Keizuna thought over his words again and again, fearing that he would offend Uesugi Teruhora for this matter.

"…………"

Uesugi Teruhora's eyes suddenly became sharp, like a devouring tiger, which captured people's hearts.

He drank a plate of wine without making any reply, his eyes swept from Naoe Keetsuna to Xiaoheita. For the first time, Xiao Pingtai felt that being looked at by someone could control the fear in his mind. For just a short moment, there was a dense layer of white hair and sweat on his back.

It's late autumn and early winter now. The temperature outside is only a few degrees, and the temperature indoors is only slightly higher.

Koheta quickly backed away, lowering his head to avoid Uesugi Teruhora's gaze. It was really that look that frightened him and he couldn't look directly at it.

"Your Highness was in great prosperity during the Spring and Autumn Period, so he didn't worry about what happened after his death. However, the war was fierce and dangerous..."

Naoe Keizuna was older, and although he bowed his head, he still had the courage to talk to Uesugi Terutora. There is no turning back when the bow is drawn. Once the words have been spoken, it is impossible to take them back.

Moreover, the issue of the heirs of the Uesugi clan has been exploited once. Last time, the Hojo clan supported Ogitani Uesugi Kensho as the power in Kanto and announced that he would succeed the next Kanto leader. This caused the two families to quarrel for a long time in front of the general, and the people of Kanto were also shaken.

"What exactly does Yamato Mamoru mean?"

"His Royal Highness Kamijou does not have enough support to take on the big responsibilities. His Royal Highnesses Sakato and Fushi are already at odds with each other in the country. If we don't make plans early, there will be great chaos in the future."

Naoe Keetsuna spoke sincerely, but Uesugi Teruhu didn't know anything about the situation he mentioned. However, Echigo has finally managed to unite under Uesugi Terutora's personal authority. Once heirs are established, choosing any one of them will cause an uproar.

At that time, even Uesugi Teruhora may not be able to control the situation. Nagao Nokage, Mikage, Harukage, and Kagetora, for generations, have been competing crazily with people from all walks of life in Echigo. (By the way, there was once a reader who hadn’t read it himself. He complained to me that Echigo was stupid. I’m sorry, but Ichigo was beaten to Sado by the old guardian alliance. It was still relying on the power of his uncle Takanashi’s family. )

"I still need to think about this matter again and again, and I can't make a final decision!"

It seems that Uesugi Teruhora has indeed thought about it for a long time, but he is also wary of all the forces. He really dare not and cannot decide this matter immediately.

"Your Highness, I'm here because it's about this matter." Xiao Pingtai finally had the chance to speak.

"Suzhini is five months pregnant." Naoe Keizuna immediately gave Xiaoheita a hint of cooperation.

"Huh?" Teru Uesugi was delighted at first, and then immediately understood what the two of them were doing by singing in harmony.

"What does His Highness the Prime Minister mean?"

"His Royal Highness Hamamatsu already knows this, so he sent me to inquire about His Highness the Governor's thoughts."

Hosokawa Harungiya had already reported this matter to Yamauchi Yoshiharu. At this time, all Yamauchi Yoshiharu's thoughts were on maintaining the stability of the Yamauchi family. After some thought, he agreed to send Kodaira to Echigo to inquire about Uesugi Terutora. mean.

"There is no need to mention this matter again. I will take care of matters after Echigo and make my own arrangements."

Uesugi Teruhu put down the wine plate, looked a little unhappy, and walked away.

…

After that, Koheita was no longer able to meet Uesugi Teruhora to explain the reason.

Frustrated, he returned to Yamauchi and discussed the situation in Echigo with Harumiya Hosokawa. Hosokawa Harumiya did not expect that the dispute over Echigo's heir was about to come to light. It was the two of them who thought about things simply and did not think carefully.

Koheita communicated with Yamauchi Yoshiharu again and let him know that Echigo was also worried about the issue of heirs.

Every family has its cupboard!

Originally this chapter was not mentioned, but within a few days, the wife and daughter-in-law of Takanashi Masarai, the lord of Kaijin Castle, came over and called her to visit Hidetoshi Ni (Mrs. Nagao).

This makes people confused. The Takanashi family and the Uesugi family are naturally related, and they have been in-laws for generations. You are one of me, and you are one of me. As a woman of the Takanashi family, it is not a big deal to come to see Shujini.

But the two ladies and the maid actually stayed there, saying that they both had birth experience and could help Suzyni with the pregnancy and delivery.

You are right, there are no gynecologists and midwifery doctors in the system in this era. Generally, it is based on experience. Although there are already medical skills that talk about production, there are still only a few doctors who study it. There are indeed many benefits to having more women who have given birth to take care of pregnant women.

Seeing how affectionate and affectionate they were, Xiao Ping always felt that things were not that simple. I randomly called someone and went to Kaijin to find out who Takanashi Masarai's family members were.

As expected, this kind of clear news soon came back. Not only was Takanashi Masayori, the 45,000-gun daimyo master of Hokushinano Kaizu, but his son Takanashi Hidemasa was strong and healthy, there was no problem. Takanashi Hidemasa has also given birth to a son and a daughter.

One of the sons, Xiaoheita remembered, was later Takanashi Norikin, and he was also a brave general, and his name was not lost in history. But I don’t know my daughter at all. Takanashi Hidemasa was just born last year and is now over one year old.

His mind was spinning, Mrs. Kodaira was shouting loudly, Uesugi Teruhu's mind was clear that it was definitely not simple.

The Takanashi family and the Uesugi (Nagao) family have been intermarriage for generations, and there is no emphasis on consanguineous marriage. In this generation, Teruhora Uesugi does not marry and has no children to marry, so such a stable relationship may become loose.

As a result of the Takanashi family's great support to Nagao Kage and his restoration, they even had several Shuangtzu territories in Echigo Itoigawa. This was a thank you gift to Kage back then. The Takanashi family is very popular in Echigo and has a wide reputation.

One Naoe Keizuna is not enough. What if you can add a father-in-law with 45,000 sen and a high reputation?
