A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

The heat was unbearable, but Kenshin Uesugi, who was in the Kaga formation, still missed Taro Yamauchi and sent amber candy, a specialty of Echu.

Of course, Amber Candy was just a pretext, it was actually to reward the Yamauchi clan for rescuing Ueno and stabilizing the situation in Kanto. Along with a box of amber candies came three thousand taels of gold and a pair of swords.

This is what the Yamauchi family deserves, so it should naturally be taken. The Yamauchi family delayed their spring plowing to help you fight. It is only natural that you, Uesugi Kenshin, give you some money to buy rice.

This money can't be saved, and Xiao Pingtai has already sent it to Hamamatsu to buy the ballast rice carried by the Nanman ships coming from Nanyang this year.

At the same time, there was a long letter. Uesugi Kenshin, who was in his forties this year, finally had some worries about having no children. The only adopted son, Masashige Uesugi, returned to the Hatakeyama family a few months ago, leaving Kenshin Uesugi without a son.

The one with the highest voice among the students is naturally Uesugi Kagetora, who has now emerged as a brave, capable and kind-hearted person. As for Uesugi Kenshin himself, he also likes Uesugi Kagetora. If he was not from the Hojo family, then the issue of this successor would no longer be a problem at all.

He just turned around and asked Uesugi Kagetora to call him daddy!

Now the Ueda Nagao clan has been exterminated, and Nagao Masaki and Nagao Hikigage are defeated together. The Echigo forces supporting the Ueda Nagao clan were severely damaged and were no longer enough to pose a threat.

This was originally a great thing. In addition, Fanchang, the main village of Yangbeizhong in Xiayue, was suppressed. Jingtai, a middle member of Yangbeizhong, was transferred to Yuezhong, and Gaoguang, a member of Beijiao Jingguang, was transferred to Ueno. Only Xinfa was left in Yangbeizhong. Tian's strength is strong, but there is still a sense of being obedient and evasive.

But this also exposed a huge problem. Uesugi Kenshin was over forty but there was no heir who could convince Quan Yue!

You must know that when he was forty years old, Oda Nobunaga also pushed Oda Nobutada to the forefront. In the Warring States Period, where we don't know what will happen tomorrow, cultivating a well-respected heir and ensuring the smooth continuation of the family is a top priority.

So Kenshin Uesugi finally began to seriously consider the issue of successors!

In addition to Uesugi Kagetora who is on the table now, there is also Nagano Yashimai who is half on the table. However, Nagano Yashimai's wife is Naoe Keizuna's daughter, not Uesugi Kenshin's biological child, nor Uesugi Kenmasa's biological child. There is definitely a gap in blood ties, and there is also a gap in the degree of support from Echigo.

So the scope began to expand, and the best adopted son was naturally the adopted son within the body, that is, the adopted son who was related to oneself by blood.

For example, the previous Nagao Xianjing was the son of Xiantaoyuan, but Xiantaoyuan only had this son who grew up, and now he is dead. The original sect of the Echigo Nagao clan only had those few. As for those stinky fish and rotten shrimps, the Shirai, Headquarters, Ashikaga, Takatsu and other Nagao clans are not considered at all.

Now Uesugi Kenshin wrote the letter to his sister Hidetoshi, which means that Yamauchi Taro's younger brother and Yamauchi Yoshikatsu's posthumous son has truly been on the candidate list and ranked high.

In the past two years, Suzhini has been jumping up and down and pointing fingers at many political affairs of the Yamauchi family. In the melee, she has gained knowledge and learned how to deal with family and country affairs.

She is now considered a semi-mature female politician. She knew that Uesugi Kenshin's letter had great political significance, so she took out the letter and read it to the Lianpan in front of Taro Yamauchi.

Yamauchi Taro's younger brother is still crawling all over the floor, and Heita Xiao feels that this thing is unreliable. Others don't know, but Kodaira knows that Uesugi Kenshin will be very active in a few years. When the time comes, this younger brother will definitely not be able to suppress the Echigo heroes at Kasugayama.

Originally, when the child was born, the Takanashi family had to take care of it. Unfortunately, now that Takanashi Hidemasa died suddenly at the age of thirty-nine, it was doubtful that his family would return to the throne. Originally, he could have gathered a large group of cavalrymen in Echigo to suppress Xiaoxiao. With Takanashi Hidemasa as his intended father-in-law gone, Xiaoheita had reservations about this matter.

Overtly or covertly, the operation to promote the second son of the Yamauchi family to succeed the Uesugi family has been going on, and Koheita and others have done a lot of work on this matter.

"Except for His Highness Ruo, there are not many heirs for the Kasuga Mountain Governor to choose." The person presiding over the meeting has changed today, and it was replaced by a new face.

Isshiki's old bones in the palace were whipped and he went into seclusion. His youngest son, Isshiki Mankimaru Genfu, changed his name to Isshiki Giyu and appeared as a member of the Yamauchi family.

Although he is only eighteen years old, his demeanor still looks a bit like the youthful spirit of Isshiki Miyauchi. According to the previous precedent of Yamauchi Yoshiho succeeding the public judge, Isshiki Yoshiya successfully assumed the position.

As for Isshiki's remaining enthusiasm, he went to Luoyang to serve as a royal tribute to Ashikaga Yoshiaki. The news brought back by Uncle Tsunade caused quite a shock within the Yamauchi family, and it became inevitable to maintain closer contact with Ashikaga Yoshiaki.

Instead of getting an unreliable young man to go there, it would be safer to go to Yisei Palace.

The Renban members took turns to host the Renban meeting, and it happened to be Isshiki Miyauchi's turn, so this visit gave Isshiki Yi a chance to perform. In fact, the replacement speed of the entire company's judges is not slow, and two of them have already been replaced in a short while.

"Actually, everyone knows who will be the heir, and there are only a few of them, but I might as well mention one more. The big tree in Luoyang has a bastard!" At this time, Xiao Pingtai became more conservative in her stance, so A candidate was proposed that Kenshin Uesugi would most likely be willing to accept.

The son of the Ashikaga Shogun family, the royal family has descended, and you can take charge of the Uesugi family as your son. That would be a great honor!

Furthermore, this is not unprecedented. The younger brother of Ashikaga Yosumi, the eleventh generation general of the Muromachi shogunate who conquered the barbarians, was succeeded to the Hitachi Oda clan. This is also the case in Oda politics. Of course, this person has been dead for more than 20 years and is already an old man!

But this does not prevent this from being a precedent!

The point is that if Ashikaga Yoshiaki has a biological son, the ministers of the Yamauchi family will always be upset. If they can get this son to go to the Uesugi family, Ashikaga Yoshiaki will have no biological son. That would be a blessing!

As soon as Xiaoping Tai's words came out, everyone present realized the boldness of this suggestion and the various connections contained in it.

Hidetoshi, as a person who works in two different situations and hopes that Yamauchi and Uesugi will have a good life, did not even express any opinion after hearing this suggestion. It is true that the biological son of the General's family becomes his elder brother's son. There really is no nobler martial bloodline in the world that can surpass this.

"Your Highness, can you agree?" Uncle Tsunade had been living with Ashikaga Yoshiaki for several months, and he felt that the general was quite thoughtful.

"It's just a son. If the leader of the Uesugi clan can become a member of the shogunate, the price is really very small!"
