"The White Horse Festival is over. I want this year to be a good one."

"Yes."

Your Highness Kanbai and I will have tea. This is best on cold winter days. My body twitches and warms up. The White Horse Festival that His Royal Highness spoke of is a somewhat unusual ritual. It is a ceremony in which the Emperor takes out to the Purple Palace on January 7th to bring out to the garden a white horse who is tried to inflict evil, and to host a feast with the flock. His Highness explains that he originally used a black horse that was bluer than a normal horse when he used a white horse. From the time of Emperor Daigo, he began to use white horses or reed horses. But it seems that only the ritual's name is old, so it became the White Horse Festival.

His Royal Highness told me, 'This is a good year too'. Apparently the court sees that at least last year wasn't a bad year. He doesn't seem to have received any great anxiety from Nobunaga's death. Well, it's not a problem in Kichinai, it's a problem from Tokai to Kanto. Besides, Kichinai has been stable for the past few years. I don't think there's much of a crisis. I had a sip of your tea, it's delicious. His Royal Highness exhales like a ho.

"I officially told you it's going to accompany the Emperor's sentiments by the middle of this year"

"Yes."

"The Emperor gave way to you this summer at the latest."

"There is no difference."

Reports are coming in June that Sendo's place can also be done. There is no problem.

"It's good to know that there is also a great masterpiece by the New Emperor..."

Your Highness looks anxious. I see. After the fall, will the Odai be next year? It costs money. But we have to do it sometime. I can't help postponing it. I think it's going to be rather troublesome later.

"May I?"

His Highness nodded satisfactorily when I answered.

"It seems that Shin-Dae-sen (Shin-Oosuke) is not feeling well. The emperor also plagues much of his will. There seems to be something around here that makes you feel like giving in."

"I see."

Shin-Dai-Norimoto is a woman from the Wanli Trail family and the mother of the current Prince Makoto Higashimiya. A woman like the First Lady, so to speak, to the Emperor. The emperor himself has a mother of a woman from the Wanli Trail family, so the relationship is profound.

"Well, I've worked a lot, and I'm tired."

"Truly."

The two of us looked at each other and laughed lightly. The Wanli Trail Family and the Hitoi Family are two pillars that support the Emperor. The Wanli Trail family is like a family, and the Flying Torii family has a patron called the Decaying Wood Family. Prince Yongzhunachi married the Wanli Trail family to the Flying Torii family where the Nishien Temple Kwon Dalai delivered tangible benefits. And the Wanli Trail family has adopted sons from the recommended monasteries. If the present East Palace became an emperor, the next East Palace would consist of a prince born of the Acha Bureau from the Summon Monastery family. I did what I had to do if I tried to be the New University Normal Samurai, I guess that's how you feel.

By the way, there was a desire from Tokugawa to Shimogami Shimogami.

"... has Tokugawa moved? So?"

His Highness shook his head to the side.

"I haven't responded since I heard your thoughts."

"Because Oda is not involved?

"No."

"I see."

His Highness and I looked at each other and nodded at each other. You came directly without involving Oda, that's a distinction from Oda. Not attacking territory, but taking official positions? I got fangs out of it, it feels like that.

"As a matter of fact, Tokugawa has been wishing for a senior officer before. It was around the time when he was still in the Three Rivers. This was about twenty years ago. I have a history of wanting to defend the Shimosankawa in fifth place, but the country didn't fit in."

"It's always the same."

"Um, it was terrible."

"That's what I'm asking."

After that, because of his subordination to Oda, he was unable to wish for a commissioner of his own free will. There's no Oda involved in this move, it's independent.

"I hear Tokugawa moved his residence to Odawara Castle. Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho."

His Royal Highness laughed with pleasure.

"Don't want to irritate the cedar too much."

"Right, ho ho ho ho ho"

I laughed again.

Odawara Castle is located in Sagami Country. If you intend to take full control of the newly gained model country, you should show authority to the Chinese people by leaving it to the proportionate. But Jiayang chose to be worthy. The reason is because I don't want to stimulate Uesugi, but when it comes to why Sagami stimulates Uesugi, the cause goes back to the Kamakura period.

During the Kamakura period, the actual power of the Shogun was held by Hojo, who held the executive office. It was Sagami, Shosho Musashi and Dr. Sasakyo who took office in the executive branch. In short, there must have been a perception within the Shogun at the time that control of Sagami and Musashi was to hold down the samurai regiment in Kanto. Dr. Sakagyo is in charge of the administration, judiciary and police involved in the Kyoto-ku. As a martial artist, I can say an honorable position. This also deserves authority.

It was Ise since the early clouds who trampled on this. Ise, who aspires to dominate Kanto, changes his surname to Hojo and names Sagami Shosho and Dr. Left Kyo. That's why I told the samurai of Kanto to obey me because I am the ruler of Kanto. The battle between Uesugi and Hojo can be described as a battle between Kanto administration and authority. Neither of us can retreat from this. In historical fact, Uesugi and Hojo tried to fight Takeda in alliance, but it broke immediately. I take it for granted.

"So, what do we do? Should I refuse?

"Do you have the money?

"Well."

"Wouldn't that be nice?"

The Syrian commissioner is an important source of income for the Morning Court. I wouldn't say no. Besides, wishing to be a good officer means we are trying to avoid confrontation with Uesugi. Tokugawa's aim is Oda territory. First of all, Surugawa, Izu.

"Is that good?

"I don't mind. Hojo, there are those who fled the river. What Tokugawa did is obvious. I taught Oda, Uesugi. Now what happens..."

I don't know what will happen to Oda. Whatever it is, it is internally divided. But Uesugi will never leave Tokugawa alone. In other words, Tokugawa will be busily killed by Uesugi control. It shouldn't be easy going west.

"From the dispute between Uesugi and Hojo to the dispute between Uesugi and Tokugawa? They're replacing the cedars, they're not easy for each other."

"Yes."

In historical fact, but also in this world, Uesugi and Tokugawa seem to compete. In historical fact, Jiayang was said to be a field celebrity, but in this world, he is beginning to be said to be a castle-attacking celebrity. How will it turn out…….

"Is there an Oda involved there and a subphase involved? I can't keep my eyes open for the time being."

Well, it would be fun to watch, but the party will be fighting for survival. Who will survive. Tokugawa is tough and can't be alarmed. Oda is confused and doesn't see how it works. I have to keep my head down, too.

Tianzheng Four Years (1580) Mid-January Tanyu Changxiu, Qingzhou Village, Haruhii County, Oozhang

Shou-jeong Lin Sadoku, Lieutenant Shinsheng Sakuma, Kunihisa Shibata, and me. The four of us waited at the academy. I can hear the tan, the tan and the footsteps. I'm in a hurry or my footsteps are a little high. I thought it looked a lot like the late lord. It was Shinji Misuke who came into the academy. When I looked over at the library and nodded satisfactorily, I sat in the upper seat. Soon I heard footsteps again. This one also comes close with a tan tan tan. I thought it was similar again.

Shinxiao Sanqiro showed up.

"It's late, Sanqiro"

When Misuke told him to laugh spirally, he rang his nose and sat next to Misuke.

"What the hell are you doing, calling Noon and his brother? I don't think so, but I don't think there's a trace of Oda on my brother. My brother doesn't have a job to do."

"Say what! At my brother's minute!

The rhetoric began. Sometimes things happen, but I panicked when I was about to get a sigh of relief.

"Please wait, Misuke, Michiro"

Two people reluctantly stopped arguing with the words of the Sado guardian.

"I got a sentence from the Decaying Wood family. It says something that won't be easy."

"Wait, to whom did that sentence come?

Master Sanqiro asked me to blame him.

"It's for you"

"The Mountain Palace..."

I said it didn't seem clogged. He suspected that the sentence of the Decaying Wood family had arrived at Misuke. Misuke doesn't seem interesting either. I wonder why you didn't give yourself a sentence.

"And what did you say you were doing here?

Lord Sansuke's words turned my gaze toward Lieutenant Rightmen, Kwon Liu, and Sado's guardian. Shogun Sado looked a little annoying, but he's the lead elder, so if you don't do your duty...

"Otherwise, he wrote that it was the Tokugawa family who taught the Kitajo family about the illness of their late lord last year's defeat in Odawara."

"Stupid, isn't Tokugawa on your side!

"Sanqiro is right, my aunt is married!

Misuke and Sanqiro roughed up their voices at the words of the guardian temple of Sado.

"Hojo, the survivors of the Imagawa family, are fleeing the Decaying Wood family. Let's find out from them."

"But Hojo was destroyed by Tokugawa!

"Isn't Tsujitsu right!

Master Sansuke, Mr. Sanqiro, both shook their heads beside each other.

"In the cod, it would be the cod that tries to tear Tokugawa and Oda apart"

Master Sanqiro looked over at our four faces.

"Perhaps so. But Master Sanqiro, there is no doubt that someone has rewarded Hojo with the insights of the Oda family. No wonder it was the Tokugawa family. That's what the four of us think."

"But Lieutenant Right Guard, Tokugawa took Hojo..."

How far do you believe in Tokugawa!

"I say it in awe. Just because Lord Tokugawa destroyed Hojo doesn't mean you can believe it."

Two people looked at my words like they didn't seem funny. Foolish, it would be the world of the warring nations to contend even with their parents and brothers. Aren't we now arguing enough to lay our hands on the sword? Why do you say Tokugawa can be believed?

"How do I do that?

"Here we go again, brother."

"Non asks for your opinion! I'm not like a fool who doesn't listen to people like that! So short notice, they say you don't have enough thought!

"My brother can't decide when he asks for his opinion! It's no use asking!

Here we go again. Both of them. I have repeated it many times already. I'm gonna poop.

"Master Misuke, Master Mitsukiro, please be quiet."

The two of them gave an uninteresting look at Kwon Six's suppression, but stopped sneering.

"... we have to send a messenger to Decaying Tree to establish the facts."

Master Misuke saw the flicker and Master Sanqiro. Misuke nodded satisfactorily when Mitsuki-san nodded in such a way as to disapprove.

"Are you going to send out a messenger?

The two looked grumpy when Shogun Sado asked. Apparently, she was unhappy with the inquiry. There were similarities in the late palace. But that was also due to the slow understanding of this one. But these two don't know anything. Send out a messenger to Master Kwon Dae-sen, which means he suspects that Master Kwon Dae-sen is lying. I didn't know you didn't notice there...... You can't send bad people.

"Then let's send under the tree."

When I suggested it, Master Misuke and Mr. Sanqiro looked uninteresting. These two despise Fujiyoro as a builder.

"Kinoshita is a hearty man. I think it's appropriate to be a messenger."

Shogun Sado and Lieutenant Rightmen nodded reluctantly as did Kwon Six. Well Yoshiro Fujimoto would do well......

Tianzheng Four Years (1580) Late January Yashan Castle, Yashan Town, Pusheng County, Omijiang

"I'll catch your eye first. Minister Oda, my name is Hideyoshi Kishita Fujiro. I am truly appreciative of the birth of Princess Omi."

Yoshiro Kishita celebrated with his face kushaku. Three days ago, Shinobi gave birth to a girl, her name is Shou (Hisa). I'm sorry Shinobi is not a boy, but I was born safe and satisfied.

"I'm glad you're celebrating."

"I don't know anything about it. I don't bring one to celebrate. I beg you to stand down and forgive me for my trespasses."

Fujiyoro bowed his head.

"Oh, my God, I was born the other day. It's only natural that I don't know. Never mind."

"Ha, thank you"

Fujiyoro bowed his head.

"Thank you so much for reporting on Mino the other day."

"That person would have known. I'm not thankful, I'm rather wondering if I did something extra."

"Absolutely nothing"

Fujiyoro waved like he panicked.

"Thank you very much."

"I'd be glad if you thought so."

Fujiyoro shimmered his face again. I see, I say monkey face, but it does resemble. Bald mice would be similar. But I have a smile on my face. I'm an ugly man, but I have a fragrance. This is not easy to be swayed, men and women. Shimogami Shimono, Hazo, Goro Weimen and Shinjiro, who are present, also look like they are having fun.

"So far, the movement seems to have subsided, right?

"Ha, the Hojo family is doomed, so..., I think the most spark is still there. I wonder if it will work again depending on the situation."

It's like a leftover fire.

"Yes."

First, it is a priority to determine the trail, but the trail remains uncertain.

"By the way, what can I do for you today? I don't mind if I say I'm here to see you."

When asked, Fujiyoro changed his expression.

"I'm in awe of the Tokugawa family. The Oda family has been confused after receiving news from Mr. Kwon Dae-sen. Whatever you say, the Tokugawa family doesn't doubt their relatives, Master Kwon Dae-sen, but they want to know a little bit more now."

"I see."

In short, you would say that you can't make a decision about how to do it with Sansuke Nobuyashi and Sanqiro Nobuyasu. But, hey, are you asking me? It would really be something I should look into at my place. People from all over the Oda family know that. Yet he sent a messenger. Misuke and Sanqiro probably ordered it, but the surroundings don't try to stop it. Maybe you think you can do it on your own. As a result, Mikusuke and Sanqiro have been abandoned by the Oda ministers. I've been getting reports like that from Xiaowei, but it's actually a little complicated to check. The advisors are in a bad mood.

"Let me tell you more, I just asked those who fell from Odawara Castle, too. It would be a question of believing it or not."

"Do you have anything like evidence? For example, Tokugawa and Kitajo are exchanging sentences."

"I'll check it out, but it'll be hard. We had to do everything we could to escape."

"Are you left-handed......"

Fujiyoro doesn't look too sorry. Fujiyoro also sees evidence as difficult.

"It's no strange story to say that Tokugawa and Hojo were connected when we saw a series of moves since the fall of Lord Oda, isn't it?

"Makes it look like it to someone else"

Fujiyoro nodded.

"Misuke and Sanqiro don't seem to see it that way, but... I can't rely on it. Isn't it?

When I peeked in, Fujiyoro erased his expression. They can't answer that.

"Yoshiro Fujita, what are you going to do with the Oda family?

"I don't care what you say, start with the tracks..."

"No, I don't think so. I mean, where are we going?"

……

Fujiyoro seems to know what I'm trying to say. Proof of this would be laying low your eyes.

"Oda was surrounded by decaying trees, Uesugi and Tokugawa. I can't stretch anywhere. Isn't it?

……

"I don't care what the truth is about this one. I will crush Tokugawa and go to Kanto without wondering why. The late Lord Oda would have done the same. Where does Lord Misuke and Lord Sanchiro say they can't rely on you?"

……

The Shimono guard was huge, and the other three nodded small.

Fujiyoshiro, Tokugawa is moving.

"Allegedly?

"Subordinate to fifth place, it's worthwhile."

"Are you kidding me?

Fujiyoro is surprised. Yeah, well, it's impossible to be in charge without saying no to Oda.

"No way. I am wishing to serve in the morning court. In March at the latest, you'll be in charge."

……

"You'll see, Oda is doomed as it is. In the east, Tokugawa and in the west, Mino are confused by the three good people. Then I'll have to move, too. When the east is in turmoil, we cannot move west. The Decaying Wood Soldier moves east. When that happens, you have to make a decision. Martyr in Oda or choose a new path…"

Fujiyoro is making his face tense. What I'm saying is like abandoning Oda and putting it on decaying trees. It must be heavy on boulders for Fujiyoro, taken from the dwarf. Or maybe it's because you understand I'm willing to crush Oda.

"I like Fujiyoro. I first met her today but liked her. I've always wondered. I'm not lying, it was that person and Goro Tanyu Left Guard who built the castle in Minamata, the Minotaur attack proposal I told Oda. I thought I'd do it. So if you have any problems, you can count on me at any time. I can help you whenever you want."

"Ha, thank you for your words"

Fujiyoro bowed his head. Okay, Tokugawa and Oda, and Fujiyoro. I wonder what it will be like.
