A samurai who doesn't want to be a daimyo is not a good onmyoji

Chapter 27 Important Ministers (big chapter, thank you all for your collection and encouragement)
Asai Hisamasa, who was originally furious and wanted to take advantage of the opportunity, felt a chill instantly. He felt his back became wet, and his whole person suddenly calmed down a lot.

Many thoughts went through his mind, but in the end he only felt a mess. However, after looking at Hirai Sadatake who was still silent over there, and then thinking about the Rokkaku family behind him, he finally gritted his teeth and insisted. : "This is my order as the daimyo of the Asai family, and no one is allowed to refuse."

As he finished speaking, Asai Hisamasa felt his heart beating continuously. He was like a sinner about to be judged, waiting for the response of his retainers.

A few breaths passed, and the whole room was still calm, but Asai Hisamasa put his heart into his stomach. The thing was not as bad as imagined. It seemed that they were just dissatisfied with this matter. Rather than being dissatisfied with myself.

After having this understanding, Asai Hisamasa instantly became confident.

He turned to look at Hirai Sadatake: "Mr. Hirai, I'm rude today."

"However, the alliance between our family and the Rokkaku family will not be affected in any way. When Hirai-hime arrives in seven days, it will be the time when your family and I will formally form an alliance. Please ask Hirai-sama to temporarily stay in Kotani Castle for a few days."

Hirai Sadatake, who was secretly watching the excitement, heard the words and kept echoing: "There, there is Mr. Kujiumasa."

He originally just wanted to come to see what other outstanding talents the Asai family had, but he didn't expect to see such a lively event. As a daimyo, Asai Hisamasa seemed to be more cowardly than rumored.

But it just so happens that such talents are more likely to be controlled by the family. Marriage is only the first step. As long as there is enough time, it may not be completely impossible for the family to unify the north and south of Omi.

The only thing to worry about is that this young master seems a little difficult to deal with.
Glancing at the many retainers who were still silent and Shinkuro kneeling on the ground, he continued: "I have long heard that Lord Kumasa's beloved son is not only outstanding in appearance, but also brave and good at fighting. He is an outstanding samurai. I saw him today. , as expected.”

He was just talking nonsense. Shinkuro was underage and had never participated in any formal battles. He might have gained a certain reputation in Otani Castle due to his outstanding height and appearance, but after leaving the city, he had no reputation at all. What a reputation.

However, this is exactly what Hirai Sadatake wants, because the current daimyo of the Asai family is not recognized by everyone as a samurai!

Sure enough, Asai Hisamasa's face immediately turned cold when he heard the words, but he couldn't show his face in front of this guest from the Liujiao family.

In the end, he could only hold it in until his face turned blue, and then he coughed a few times and looked sleepy: "I'm a little tired, so that's it for today. My dear, let Mr. Hirai rest. "

After speaking, he nodded to Hirai Sadatake, and then without waiting for any retainer to react, Asai Hisamasa stood up and walked back.

It's just that he just threw one of his straw sandals out to hit Shinkuro, and now he walks with one foot high and one foot low, which looks very funny from behind.

Looking at his back, Hirai Sadatake couldn't help but smile. No matter what the final result of the engagement was, he had already achieved very significant results on this mission.

The Asai family was originally inferior to the Rokkaku family, but now the conflict between father and son, and the conflict between the daimyo and his retainers, have reached such a serious level. This is really great news for the Rokkaku family!
But contrary to him, the other Asai family retainers present were in a much worse mood.

Especially a veteran who was about fifty years old couldn't help but sigh directly, feeling full of disappointment in his heart.

Back then, he followed Lord Ryomasa and went through all kinds of hardships to establish the foundation of the Asai family. But now, are they going to surrender to the Rokkaku family, their archenemy that they have been fighting for decades?
As the footsteps gradually moved away, Shinkuro slowly stood up and saluted the retreating figure, still looking very polite.

Many important ministers around him suddenly couldn't help but sigh in their hearts. Although it was inappropriate for Shinkuro to contradict his father in public, it seemed that it was just because of different opinions and not for other reasons. He still respected his father very much in his heart. .

As he stood up, Asai Ryouchi, who came in with him, seemed to be suddenly awakened. He quickly helped Shinkuro up from the ground, and then turned to greet the only outsider, Hirai Sadatake from the Rokkaku family.

Although he did not completely agree with the marriage contract with the Rokkaku family, he was not on a united front with Shinkuro just now. He was just stunned.

Who would have thought that the young master would protest to the family head in such a fierce way?This directly resulted in no possibility of compromise between father and son!

Asai Ryouchi and Hirai Sadatake left together, but the remaining retainers did not disperse on the spot. They remained silent, but their eyes kept moving between Shinkuro and the veteran general.

After sighing again, the wrinkled veteran turned his attention to Shinkuro: "Young Master, this is also for the continuation of our family, we still need to be patient."

"Patience? In this chaotic Warring States era, only constant fighting can gain strength and status. What can you gain by simply being patient? Please think twice, Lord Kiyotsuna!"

Although Shinkuro still showed a lot of indignation, he respected the veteran in front of him very much, even more than he just respected his nominal father.

Because the other party was none other than Akao Kiyozuna, one of the three generals of Kai Akame.

Although he is old and weak, it may be difficult to kill the enemy in person, but he assisted his ancestor Ryomasa Asai to found the Asai family and experienced hundreds of battles. He is a good general and has taught Shinkuro some battlefield skills. art of war.

If we simply talk about personal bravery, the three generals, Kai Akaame, have all been exhausted due to old age and old injuries. Not counting the newly joined Tsugujun Miyabe, they are undoubtedly the most powerful generals, Ryochi Asai and Endo. It is said that the three generals, General Isono and Masaru, are the most outstanding.

But if we want to talk about prestige and appeal in the family, it belongs to the three veterans Hai Chiyu.

The other two veterans, Tsunachika Uboku, retired to Kamazana Castle due to old age and frailty, and Yabei Amamori also stayed in his own Amamori Castle all year round and was not in Odani Castle for the time being. If he could win the support of the veteran in front of him, Then no matter what Shinkuro wants to do, it will be much more convenient.

To some extent, it can even affect his nominal father.

Because the Asai family came to power with the support of many wealthy families and people of the country, they adopted a collegial system of important ministers, which was not entirely a one-word decision of the daimyo. As one of the three generals of "Umi Akame", Akao Kiyozuna had no The question is the most important minister among the ministers, and he has a great say.

In addition, there have been rumors among the people that the real identity of this veteran, whose nickname is "Tora Chiyo", is probably the nephew of Shinkuro's grandfather, Asai Ryomasa, and the cousin of the current head of the family, Asai Hisamasa. According to this calculation, Shinkuro still has to call him uncle.

Although this is just a folk legend and has never been confirmed by the person concerned, so many years have passed, and Kiyozuna Akao is now in his [-]s and almost [-], and no one from the Asai family has ever come forward to refute the rumor, and Asai Without exception, the two heads of the family put great emphasis on it, which in itself already illustrates some problems.

To a certain extent, now that we have reached this point, whether he really has the blood of the Asai family is irrelevant. Anyway, it will not shake his status in the Asai family.

Moreover, he has good personal relationships with several generals of the Asakura family, allies of the Asai family, which further strengthens his position.Therefore, both the former and current Shinkuro respect this veteran very much, because he is really powerful.

"Oh, this is also for the continuation of our family."

That's all Akao Kiyosuna said back and forth, because he really couldn't think of any other reason, and because he was too helpless.

He truly followed his ancestor, Lord Ryomasa, and created the foundation of the Asai family in blood and fire. Compared to the current head of the family who got the daimyo position without doing anything, he put in much more effort.

Seeing his family gradually weakening after several years of war, he was definitely in a very bad mood.

Seeing the helpless look of Akao Kiyosuna, an important minister, most of the other retainers figured out his true intentions, so they all came closer.

"Lord Qingzuna, please advise the head of the family that we must not enter into a marriage contract with our enemies!"

"It is too humiliating to form an alliance with the Rokkaku family!"

"This is also embarrassing to the young master!"

Although everyone said something to each other, overall the opinions were very unified, that is, they should not form an alliance with the other party.

Being able to stand here shows that they are all loyal ministers of the Asai family, and who among the loyal ministers has not been against the Rokkaku family?Who doesn't have some outstanding sons and daughters killed in battle?
While agreeing, Shinkuro asked everyone if they had any good solutions, and at the same time compared them with the memory one by one.

He soon discovered that the people in front of him were not much different from those in his memory.

Apart from Akao Kiyotsuna, there is only one samurai named Anyoji Clan who has some talent in internal affairs, and a pair of brothers Shinjo Naoyori and Shinjo Naotada, who are known as all-round talents in civil and military affairs, can barely be regarded as talents.

As for other people or leaders of wealthy families, as well as some members of the Asai family, they may be able to serve as lower-level generals and command an army of 200 people, but if it involves political affairs, strategies or military strategies, Still don't expect any good from them.

Even if they still have hidden potential, they are already in their 30s and [-]s, and he has no time to teach them.

Seeing them going over and over again with those few nonsense words, but unable to come up with any useful measures, Shinkuro stopped talking nonsense. At least, they have completely united the front now.

After gathering a little bit of mana, Shinkuro shouted loudly: "In short, the foundation created by Mr. Ryomasa and all of you must not be ruined in our hands!"

"Yes, the young master is right!"

"Yes, that's it!"

Three or two warriors were still echoing, but they soon realized that something was not right. Why didn't the other adults speak?Obviously everyone had the same idea just now!

But soon, as the earth-yellow light quickly shone, they all understood the reason.

That burst of light came from the young master!

However, the young master did not seem to notice this. He still stood there impassionedly and firmly opposed the marriage contract with the Rokkaku family. In the end, the experienced veteran Akao Kiyozuna stopped him.

"Young Master, what exactly is this?"

Shinkuro seemed a little confused, but soon after following everyone's gaze, he noticed what was happening to him.

He suddenly seemed a little annoyed: "Oh, I originally wanted to surprise my father, but I didn't expect to be delayed by this matter. I haven't told him that I have obtained the inheritance of Qingming Gong."

"Mr. Qingming?"

Everyone around them suddenly widened their eyes. As the most famous, powerful, and mysterious onmyoji in Nippon history, even though 500 years have passed since he was active, the great onmyoji Abe Seimei's The names and stories are also very familiar to them!

"That's right." Shinkuro nodded happily, "At the critical moment of conquering the monsters, I obtained the inheritance of Lord Seimei, and with the help of the monks and soldiers from Miyabe City, I was finally able to successfully conquer the pig monsters and monsters. Ghoul, I have completed my first battle.”

Shinkuro explained the outline of the whole thing in one breath, just slightly adjusting the order of things happening, but no one present would explore this in detail.

Because they were all frightened by the information revealed in Shinkuro's words.

The inheritance of Lord Seimei, the monk soldiers of Miyabe Castle, and the legendary monsters?
The young master obviously went to hunt down wild boars for the Yuanfu ceremony, but what exactly did he go through in the process? !
Although the veteran Akao Kiyosuna next to him was also full of surprise, an idea soon came into his mind and quickly expanded.

The young master is young and promising, and is extremely brave, while the family master is so mediocre and weak, and even wants to surrender to the enemy Rokkaku family. Such a comparison, the gap between the two sides is too big.

Originally, the reason why the head of the family became the head of the family was because all his brothers were dead and there were no competitors, so he, who had no talent and no warrior spirit, became the head of the family. But now, they have more s Choice.

Think about it, if the Asai family is led by a young master who has accepted the inheritance of Abe Seimei
No, no, the young master has not yet entered the Yuan Dynasty. Although he has mastered the legendary magic, his reputation is still too shallow to overwhelm the important ministers. He still needs some time.

Looking again at Shinkuro, who was surrounded by everyone in awe, and recalling the previous attitudes of his lord, Akao Kiyosuna gritted his teeth and finally made up his mind.

If things really come to an irreversible end, even if I have to fight against the lord, I, Akao Kiyosuna, will definitely save the life of the young lord, because all this is for the long-term military destiny of my family and to live up to the glorious government of the year. Your Majesty’s entrustment!
