When the surface of the Akami Naokai shakes

Yonglu Eleven Years (1568) Late December Ise State Councillor Ben County Umedo Village Umedo Castle Jindo Hyunsung

"Are you here again?"

"Whatever, if it's your destiny."

"I'm keen to say this year will be over soon. Dr. Decaywood, it seems a fact that you are short tempered because of this."

Dr. Shinsu Umedo smiled sarcastically at the words of Lord Jiro Left Guardman. “Fate," maybe that's what you didn't like.

"My lord Dr. Left Guard, my lord is not at fault or short-tempered. For real, if you're short tempered, you're surrounded by this castle, the army of decaying trees."

The ministers of Umedo, who were present at Non's words, moved in.

"Are you threatening Noon, Yamashitaki?"

I laughed with my nose. Did you think I didn't mean it?

"That's not true. There seems to be a misunderstanding, so I made it right. Misconceptions can lead to miscalculations."

It's not a lie, my lord. It's never a fault or a temper. Because of the slight movement, it just looks like a short breath.

"Dr. Left Gate, as I have already told you, my lord says that we will never treat the Umedo family roughly. Let's set up a new home. It is fortunate for the Umedo family to be on their side by the decaying trees."

……

"Yamashiro Shogun is right. If you put me up any longer, you'll crush Umedo's house."

I have power in my mouth. I'm not convinced yet......

"Are you guys satisfied? Aren't you dissatisfied with your service to Dr. Decaying Wood?

It was a whispering tone.

"Dr. Left Guard, the Hexagons are doomed."

"Say what, Lieutenant Jiro Left Guard!

"The Hexagons won't be able to help Umedo if we're forced to do so here. The Hexagons are doomed! Come on. Admit it!

……

Dr. Umedo Shugamen silenced the strong tone of Jiro Shugamen.

"The Umedo family will only perish in vain for any further indulgence. Is that all right with you? The ministers there will die in vain."

……

"Dr. Left Gate, Lieutenant Jiro Left Gate is right. A useless brother-in-law is not for the Umedo family. Doom is a loss, survival is a win. And our people cannot live alone. We need strong, trustworthy parents."

Dr. Left Gate exhaled heavily.

Allow the Umedo family to side with the Decaying Wood family. Never a pleasant lord. But you can't sit back and watch the Umedo family perish. My last servant to the Hexagons, so I took it on. We have to dictate to Dr. Left Guard at all costs...... There are limits to the patience of the Lord. Do not take any more time.

"The Umedo family is sandwiched from the south by Nagano, Kitano, and from the north by decaying trees. You have to choose between them. Nagano, can you trust Kitano? He sent his son to the Nagano family as his adopted son, and on top of that, he killed his adoptive father, Shodo Yamato, and his adoptive grandfather, Daisuke Miyauchi, the Kitami family."

Dr. Left Gate shook his head to the side.

"I know I can't trust Kitami."

"Then"

"You will tell me to choose decaying trees, Lieutenant Jiro Left Guard. I know, I don't know if that's the best way to go. Both the old minister of Asai and the old minister of Hexagon are valued in Decaying Tree. If Non comes down, he'll take care of it the same way. The ministers should follow decaying trees, you know."

……

Dr. Left Gate turned his gaze to the universe.

"I don't know... I can't forget that Nan fought with the late Yakuza under the hexagonal banner. Your lords were there, everyone fought Nagano off. I was happy, proud. It was the best days of my life."

……

It is a nostalgic day. But I can't talk about it. Nowadays Noon is a minister of decaying trees. Jiro Left Gatekeeper would have the same sentiment.

"The Hexagonal and Umedo families were alienated by the collapse of the Kannon Temple. I missed you, but I don't think you're going to die. When the Hexagons perished, I missed them so much that I thought it would break my heart then. Of course, there's hexagonal blood in Noon's body."

Dr. Left Gate turned his gaze on us. My eyes are moist.

"Now there are those who seek to send soldiers from Omi to Ise. Dr. Decaying Wood, Lord of the Lord. He leads the lords, who were ministers of the Hexagons, using the fourth crest in the same corner as the Hexagons. It reminds me of a long time ago, the best days for Non. Why isn't he in your house? Why the decaying tree? It must not be hard on Non."

Whimpering leaked, Dr. Left Gate cried, Jiro Left Gate Captain, Noh cried too. I didn't think so, why not your stall...

Yonglu Eleven Years (1568) Late December Mitsuya Mushikawa Mountain Castle, Haramamura, Regent's Guoshima County

"You're busy this year, Father."

"Really?"

I was having tea with Kusuke watching the men, the women who were busy getting ready to celebrate the New Year. There is only a few left this year, and it is almost over. I think I'll be able to grow another year. I always think so at this time of year, how many more can I live...

"What happens to the example?

"Come on, what happens. I can't tell you."

"You don't know Yoshiaki Yamato, do you?

"Seems so. If you're willing to talk about decaying trees, you're going to take after Yoshiaki."

"Hmm."

Kusuke Kunosuke sipped a sip of tea.

Decaying trees brought strange stories. Why don't you recommend Yoshiaki to the next general? If you feel like it, take after Yoshiaki-san.

"But is it a story that will?

"There's no such thing as a story where Sanho and Decaying Wood have to join hands."

"That may be..."

Weak tail, half-hearted? There's nothing you can do.

"Now that we have lost the righteous, we have no one to take charge of it. The Hiroshima official family is passive about sending out his aide. If so, it's not strange to talk about Yoshiaki-san."

"But Yoshiki hates us, Yoshihui's brother."

"We're not the only ones, Yoshiaki-san hates Hiroshima's official family too. When I found out this one was about to take charge of Yoshiaki-san, I wondered how the official Hiroshima house would come out..."

Kusuke nodded loudly. You're thirsty, I took a sip of tea.

"I see, the Hiroshima public house will be isolated. So you want me to push the back of the Hiroshima public house?

"Well, there are places like that. I don't want to take charge of Yoshiaki-san."

That Yoshihui (fool) made a scene with a May fly after making a triumph. I had no idea whose shadow I could be as a general in Kyo. Five years on decaying trees, I thought my head was a little cold, but rejection was making the fool worse. Yeah, but if you're an idiot, you'll have to kill him. That's Yoshihui's brother, not a busy one. Perhaps there are also extra decaying trees. I can imagine how Noto treats me.

"But what if the Hiroshima official still doesn't send out the bailout?

I saw Kusuke's face as he asked.

"The world is unsettled without a public servant. There is nothing else to take charge of Master Yoshiaki. I took the story to the Hiroshima public house first. His face stood up."

Unexpectedly the tone became bitter. I also have trouble with the Hiroshima public house, what will it be now?

If Yoshiaki becomes a general, he will always make a scene after discussing the Hiroshima public house, don't you see that? Well, I just made a scene and this one can't do anything. The official Hiroshima family is a trump card for Sanho, because there is a trump card, Yoshiaki etc. can be truncated at any time. No fool throws away a trump card. I guess the Hiroshima public is strong because they understand that. It's troublesome.

"As I said earlier, Yoshiaki resents us."

"... Sanhao pushed the mountain into the back of Kii's mountain. Decaying trees got Kaga, Nanjingjiang. Kusuke, can you beat the decaying tree?

"... it's not easy to win"

"So we lose?

"I don't think so..."

Since the defeat of that mountain family, there has been no profanity of decaying trees inside Sanoko. Decaying trees now possess nearly two million stones. More powerful than the mountains and hexagons that used to be. Besides, Dr. Big Dinner, I don't know.

"Right, it's hard to win, but I don't even think we're going to lose. Perhaps decaying trees will think the same. It's not easy to fight, that's what I'm saying. If you want Yoshiaki to be a general, you can be sure of more harmony than war. Then you don't have to abandon your grudge against us to get behind your chest. If we can do that, we'll either stay where we are, or we'll be generals and we'll go after you."

Kusuke nodded.

"What happens to Lord Sun Rokuro and Matsunaga when you take Yoshiaki as General? I'm not going to tolerate it."

"Right, that's where you can rub it."

Let's do something about it. You can ask Sun Rokuro to return to the Shigawa family. And let's leave the governor of Sanoko's main house to the Toyomae guardian. There's no problem, Matsunaga can be left alone in Yamato.

Instead, it's Hondo Temple that's troublesome. Those people are growing in power to Kii. As it is, Kii could belong to Hondo Temple. Looks like they're trying to get a replacement land for losing Hokuriku, but don't forget that those boys killed Changqing's father. In the sense of suppressing those people, it would be worse to publicly welcome Yoshiaki and join hands with Decaying Wood.

Yonglu Twelve Years (1569) Late January Snow Castle, Shizuhama Shizuzuzuhama, Ichika-gun, Omijiang

Suddenly you see a lord in your room. And when he says, "I'm going to lie down a little bit," he says, "I'm going to lie down." What should I do?

"My lord, why don't you rest in your room?

"The ministers are coming over there, so don't rest."

"So what's your location?

"Bamboo Young Maru comes with a scratch. This is the only place you can rest at ease."

It's like a fallen man is coming to evacuate.

"But let's have you here too."

"I say to everyone that I suddenly cared about it. Nobody's coming for a second."

"Well."

What would I do if I cared? You think you're gonna run away from here?

"May I speak to you?

"I don't mind, I just don't want to work."

Sometimes I'm enthusiastic about politics. Don't you want to do your job? So you lied to me? My lord is like a child.

"I heard there was a disturbance in Noto?

"Oh, Wenjing, the chief minister, Miyama repair doctor killed Miyama. Wenjing, Miyake is a family annihilation. I think I hated him too much."

"But I hear that Wenjing and Miyake were not involved in the deportation of Lady Hayama."

My lord looked at me with an interesting look on his face.

"Exactly. Wenjing, Miyake had been in exile concern before that at the hands of Mt. It was only after the deportation of Shigeyama's parents and children that he was called back. It's a different reason they got stuck. You know?"

"Your Highness is in the way."

"There is that too. Originally Nobu was a strong force of the heavy ministers. Conflict between the forces of Takayama and the chief ministers is the cause of the confusion. Yusao, now that the chief is gone, the only obstacle to Takayama is Onei, Miyake."

"... My lord told me that there was one too. Weren't you really suspicious that Warmwell and Miyake led to Decaying Tree?"

"That's very clever."

"Don't be impressed. The discord between the Lord and Master Hayama is famous. It's only natural to doubt the two of you who responded to your lord in the battle ahead."

"Well, it's true that Me and Tsuyama are unfamiliar, but I didn't know it was famous."

Now you look strange, didn't you really know?

The discord between His Highness and Master Hayama is famous. In terms of the format of the house, Master Hayama is better, but his strength is better. Last year on the Northern Expedition, everyone weighed more heavily on the palace than Lady Hayama, so Lady Hayama was very dissatisfied? You don't even seem to like the fact that your lord is picking up and treating the chief's family. Each of them serves his lord with 10,000 stone locks.

"Did you really make it through?

"No, I was just about to get through"

I was just about to get through?

"I got a sentence from those two. The contents were that the territorial rule of the mountains was terrible. Apparently, the two of them praised each other for nothing. It said you wanted me to praise you too."

……

Your Highness has awakened you.

"Those two saw that Sooner or later, Nobuyama's reign would fail, when there would be terrible chaos. That's when I decided it was decaying trees that moved. That's why you gave me a sentence. Write that you said you weren't involved in Naruto's culpability, but you couldn't accept it."

"You complained of your innocence."

My lord nodded at my words.

"Yes, it's okay to use ourselves. There is no resentment toward the people of Noto, that's what I sued them for. Or maybe to get closer to me. Either way, those two would have asked me to leave. I'm asking you to eliminate Kiyama for the sake of the people of Noto. I was supposed to use that as an excuse to send soldiers."

That's what you meant when you were trying to get through...... It's stuttering.

"I was made aware of it by Master Tsuyama..."

"I was asked by the two of us to send a sentence to Tsuyama. Of course, no names have been given for Onei or Miyake. But Miyama must have felt the presence of Wenjing and Miyake in the back. Or maybe the two of you gave me my name, and there's me behind them, don't scorn me. The mountain solemnly cleared the two of them before the dawn of the year. I was polite enough to say that Wenjing and Miyake were unfaithful subjects, so I finished the sentence. In short, don't trust the two of you, Onei or Miyake, or you don't have to say anything to Nobu's government."

I got a sigh of relief. What a tough world your lords live in......

"A messenger is going to Yoshiaki-sama from Hayama. Perhaps you have received a sentence with the same content. And he wants you to contain decaying trees."

"So you have a messenger from Yoshiaki?

My lord tipped his neck.

"I wonder, if Master Yoshiaki is an idiot, the messenger will come. If it's decent, it won't come. You know it's impossible to contain decaying trees in this case. I spoke to Daisuke Hosokawa last year. Yoshiaki-san is also involved in the causation of Daiichi Nobunaga. You can't talk."

Is Yoshiaki-san involved? My lord told me that I took taxes heavily for my contribution to Yoshiaki when I was wondering. It's another sigh.

"Lord Yusaka, were you in contact with the Great Hall?

"That's not true. I won't allow it. Decaying trees and mountains are not enemies, but they are not allowed to hide in the Lord and exchange sentences between ministers."

My lord was not forgiven. You don't have to do that. I'm guessing Noto's information is coming to you. I think there are other people outside of Wenjing and Miyake who are going or trying to get through to the palace.

"Does the Uesugi family approve of the prince acquiring Nobu?

Of course, arrangements are in place between Decaying Tree and Uesugi.

"Is it because they gave you Tsuba County over there?

"No, no decaying tree or cedar should be involved in Hokuriku at any time. What Yoshiaki-sama did was only extra. Let's keep Uesugi angry inside."

Both the Uesugi and Decaying Woods are considered loyal houses for the Foolies. But the inside is quite different. Both Decaying Tree and Uesugi think first and foremost about themselves. Does Master Yoshiaki understand that...

"If the moon changes, I'll march to Ise."

"Has Dr. Umedo been on your side?

"Attached, Shindo and Megata persuaded me well. It was well worth the wait, although it was older. Now the North Ise offensive is on the lookout."

"You deserved my patience."

"Uhm."

My lord seems happy. The ministers of the Decaying Wood family saw the lord give up persuasion and carry out a force attack. Me too, I was a little surprised.

"Everybody be surprised. I was wondering what time the Lord would choose to attack."

My lord smiled bitterly.

"We can't do anything to trample the minds of the people of the South Omi River. Omi is the center of the Japanese book. Nothing can be done without a good grasp of this place. The south is not enough yet. They have feelings for hexagons in their hearts."

……

It's hidden in the shadow of decisiveness, but I think your lord is very cautious.

"When the Naruto attack is over and the Ise attack is over, we'll build the castle on the South Omi River."

"To master the South Omi River, is it?"

"That's right. Move."

"Aren't you going to use Kannonji Castle?

My lord gave me a slightly dissatisfied look.

"That's not even true. That's a hexagonal castle, not mine. I can't draw my thoughts on hexagons at all times."

I see it is in order to establish your own authority that His Highness builds a castle in the South Konjo. Maybe the castle should be a big castle.

"I'm going to be busy this year. If there's any confusion in Noto, we have to go there. You're the only one who can slow down. So, Yukino, come here."

"Huh?"

"I told you I cared about that"

Was that true?
