Just when Oda Nobunaga was attacking Ise Country with all his strength, Saito Douzan, Oda Nobunaga's father-in-law, lived a very comfortable life. After returning to Mino Country with the help of the Luo family and the Oda family, Saito Douzan began to take full control of Mino Country, and secretly began to take revenge on the wealthy family who betrayed him by following his son Saito Yoshiryu. The reinforcements sent to support Oda Nobunaga in attacking Ise Country were composed of the wealthy families who betrayed him. The purpose was to remember the hand of his son-in-law Oda Nobunaga and weaken these troops. The strength of the situation. Of course, this is only the first step of revenge. At this time, Saito Dozo is also preparing to gradually implement his second step of revenge plan. However, at this time, Asai Nagamasa, who has newly taken control of the Omi Asai family, arrives. Messenger, trying to reunite with the Saito family. Before Saito Douzan was betrayed by his son Saito Yoshiryu, for the purpose of preventing the Rokkaku family from invading Mino country, he had indeed always formed an alliance with the Asai family of Omi country, and was often almost outnumbered by the Asai family of Omi country. When the Rokkaku family was in power, they would send reinforcements to support them. In order to strengthen the relationship between the two families, his son even married Omi Bureau, the daughter of Ryomasa Asai and the adopted daughter of Hisamasa Asai, as his wife. However, after his son's rebellion, in the process of seeking to return to Mino Country, Saito Douzan, in addition to turning to the Luo family and Oda family for help, actually secretly wrote a letter to the Asai family for help (after all. With the character of Saito Dozo, it is indeed difficult to completely trust the Luo family and the Oda family). However, there has never been a response from the Asai family's governor Hisamasa Asai at the time. Even now that the Asai family has replaced a new governor, the Saito family already has the Oda family as an ally, and the Rokkaku family that was in full swing at that time also has the following. With the death of the previous family governor, his strength has also declined. Therefore, at this time, the Asai family has little effect on Saito Dosan. ??Even, because Owari Province¡¯s Oda Nobunaga, who is a neighbor of Mino Province, and Hida Country¡¯s sister Koji Yoritsuna (real name Miki Jizuna) are both his sons-in-law. Therefore, if the Saito family needs to expand externally, they can only attack the Takeda family or the Asai family. Naturally, the Takeda family cannot be provoked, so the only target left is the Asai family. Therefore, for the new governor of the Asai family, Asai Saito Dozo did not immediately agree to Nagamasa's alliance request. Of course, in order to paralyze the Asai family, Saito Dosan did not refuse immediately. However, Saito Douzan¡¯s decision has not yet aroused the alarm of the Asai family. On the contrary, it frightened some people. This day, in Saito Ryuuki¡¯s residence. Saito Ryuuki and several of his close retainers gathered there. "Ping!" I saw Saito Ryuuki swinging his sleeve heavily. He smashed a tea bowl to the ground. This tea bowl was a famous item from Goryeo and was worth a lot of money. Now he has become a victim of Saito Ryuuki's anger. After letting out a fierce breath, Saito Ryuuki asked all the retainers: "What do you mean, grandfather?" Previously, after his grandfather Saito Douzan suddenly "resurrected" and came back, as a condition for handing over his rights, Saito Ryuuki himself is not only not under house arrest, but will also be the next successor to the Saito family's governor. However, as my grandfather gradually took control of the family power, things turned out not to be what he expected. At least, his grandfather's previous move to force the families who had participated in the rebellion to send troops to support the Oda family's attack on Ise Country had Saito Ryuuki felt frightened. Although his grandfather Saito Douzan did not expressly stated that he was deliberately retaliating against those who betrayed him, he saw that these wealthy families who were forced to use various excuses to support the Oda family turned out to have betrayed him by following his father Saito Yoshiryu. After his grandfather's wealthy family, he knew that this must be his grandfather's revenge. Now that these people have begun to be retaliated against, then the father, Saito Yoshiryu, who was the mastermind of the rebellion, will naturally not be let go. And since his father has died of illness, he, the father's son, will naturally have to bear the responsibilities of his grandfather. Revenge? So for this period of time, he has been worried that this idea will come true. And precisely today, his grandfather did not agree to the alliance request of his in-laws, the Asai family. This immediately made him certain that he would suffer revenge from his grandfather. He even thought that he would not even be qualified to inherit the family governor. lost. In the residence, facing Saito Ryuuki's inquiry, a retainer immediately said: "Your Highness, why should you be suspicious? I think this is just because the old family leader thinks that there is no need to form an alliance with the Asai family immediately. I am afraid it is to obtain the money from the Asai family." More benefits. What¡¯s more, the old patriarch didn¡¯t refuse immediately!¡±After finishing, another retainer immediately shook his head and objected: "No, our family has always been allies with the Asai family, but the sudden hesitation of the old family master this time is really suspicious." At the same time, another retainer said: "It is always difficult for us to judge the actions of our lord. Reluctant guesses will be biased. I think it is better to wait and see what happens." "No," at this time, Saito Ryuuki interrupted the retainer and said , "Everyone, do you think it's a coincidence that my grandfather acted like this?" "Your Highness, I'm afraid you are suspicious." A retainer said immediately. "Yes, Your Highness, this is just an unreasonable guess and cannot be confirmed." Immediately, some retainers advised him. After listening to the words of the retainers, Saito Ryuuki smiled sadly and said: "After I was seized of power, I have seen one thing clearly. My grandfather is a cold-blooded and ruthless person." Saito Ryuuki said this. Everyone present was surprised. The son pointed out that slandering his grandfather was always a treasonous act, let alone in the martial arts family where there was a clear distinction between superior and inferior. So, after Saito Ryuuki finished speaking, all the retainers present, including all the retainers, bowed down and said, "Your Highness, please be careful what you say." Saito Ryuuki shook his head, showing a sad and self-injurious look. Said: "I can see clearly that my grandfather has always resented my father's previous rebellion. Now that my father is dead, my grandfather has transferred his hatred to me. In my opinion, my grandfather has long wanted to deprive me of it. Hearing what Saito Ryuuki said, all the retainers who had been his servants since childhood shed tears and said, "Your Highness, please don't think like this. Your Highness is the only one in the Saito family now." Now that I am qualified to inherit the position of family governor, how can the old master deprive His Highness of his legitimate position? " "Haha, if your grandfather really intends to deprive me of my position of inheritance, and adopt an adopted son. If you come to inherit the position of governor of the Saito family, what will happen to you?" Saito Ryuuki said sadly. He knew how his grandfather had seized the position of guardian of Mino Country, and he had always believed that his grandfather must have been worried that when he succeeded as the governor, he would avenge his father Saito Yoshiryu (after all, that night, The appearance of his grandfather was too coincidental. His grandfather Saito Yoshiryu appeared just after his father's death. Therefore, there were rumors outside the city that his father, Saito Yoshiryu, was not killed by illness but by his grandfather. ), so given my grandfather¡¯s character, it would be really difficult for him to inherit the position of family governor. In the palace, all the retainers heard Saito Ryuuki's question. They were stunned for a moment, and then they knelt on the ground and expressed their loyalty: "If the old patriarch really intends to abolish His Highness's rightful throne, I am also willing to commit seppuku to remonstrate with the old patriarch. "What's the use of committing seppuku? It's better to figure out how to deal with it." When everyone in the room was feeling sad, a woman suddenly said this from behind a door away. The retainers were shocked, holding the katana at their waists and shouted: "Who is eavesdropping here?" Then the paper sliding door opened, and a woman wearing gorgeous Wu clothes walked out, and the retainers who came to In front of him, he looked seriously and said: "What's wrong? Sirs, are you going to draw your sword and kill me?" When the retainers saw the person coming, they put back the half-drawn blades, bowed and said: "It's Madam, I'm rude. Saito Ryuuki frowned when he saw this woman and said, "What are you doing here as a woman? Didn't you see that we were discussing something important?" The woman stood and stared at Saito Ryuuki for a while. , suddenly giggled. Saito Ryuuki said impatiently: "At this time, what are you still laughing at?" The woman picked up the folding fan, half-covered her face, suppressed her smile, and then suddenly pointed at Saito Ryuuki with the folding fan and said : "I'm laughing at you, your unambitious son. Your father was so ambitious and ruthless that he even dared to betray the viper that the world feared, thus gaining the position of family governor. Although he ended up dying tragically, he was still a hero. How come you gave birth to such an unworthy son?" Saito Ryuuxing suddenly stood up and said with a livid face: "You are a woman, what do you know?" The woman's face remained unchanged and asked: "I. What do you know? Now the Viper is about to betray the alliance and attack my mother's family, the Asai family. If I continue to ignore it and sit back, will I watch the alliance between my Asai family and the Saito family for more than ten years be destroyed? My son fell to the Viper's knife, and in the end I had no choice but to be sent back to the Asai family. I watched my family being destroyed by the Viper, and ended up having to become a nun. "Compared with everyone's ignorance, as a person who has experienced this? Saito Ryuuki's mother, Omi Bureau, saw Viper Saito Dosan's plan. Of course, this is probably her guess, but at least sheThis time I really hit the mark. "If it's just your personal matter, that's it. This matter now concerns the fate of my mother Asai's family, you, and myself, so I have to take care of it." Under the fierce scolding of the Omi Bureau, Zhai Ryuuki Teng was also speechless for a moment. After a moment of silence, Ryuuki Saito finally asked: "In that case, what's the solution for Mother?" "Haha." The son who had been disrespectful to him since the day he seized power in the family was finally willing to call him "Mother". Bureau Omi couldn't help but smile softly, then his face changed, and then he said decisively, "In my opinion, as a woman, It's better to stand up and fight and remonstrate with the old family master." "How reckless." After hearing this, all the retainers shouted in fright. If they had not taken into account Omi's identity, they would have killed this person on the spot. "No," at this time, Saito Ryuuki shook his head and said, "Mother, what you said makes sense." "Huh?" Seeing that Saito Ryuuki was instigated by the Omi Bureau and made the decision to remonstrate with troops, The expressions of all the retainers suddenly changed. He couldn't help but exclaimed. Immediately, a retainer admonished: "No. Your Highness, admonishing soldiers is a treasonous and unethical act, and will be scolded by the world." "Humph, my father could have rebelled against my grandfather back then, but my grandfather was only plotting against the former governor of the family. Since my grandfather and father have achieved this status, why can¡¯t I follow their actions? It doesn¡¯t matter if everyone in the world scolds me. My grandfather has achieved this status, so why should I fear criticism from others behind my back? Long Xing immediately retorted. "This?" After hearing what Saito Ryuuki said, all the retainers were immediately speechless. Looking back, Saito Ryuuki was really not wrong! Through a series of conspiracies, Viper conspired to seize the position of daimyo of the Mino Kingdom, and Viper's son also conspired against Viper, once seizing the position of governor of the Saito family. So, seeing that all the retainers were speechless for a while, Saito Ryuuki became even more stubborn. He continued: "Now that my grandfather sees that the Asai family is weak, he has the intention of annexing it. I don't want to read the number of ten." The alliance has been supporting each other for many years and does not intend to continue to form an alliance with the Asai family. This is an act of unrighteousness and unbelief. Saito Ryuuki said with a firm look in his eyes: "How can you dominate the world without regard for integrity?" At that time, everyone will rebel, and even the Asai family will become enemies. Once the Takeda family invades, it will be a hard battle to be controlled by the Asai family. Therefore, for the sake of the survival of this family, I am determined to bear the charge of unfilial piety. We must give it a try." No matter how many retainers tried to persuade him, Saito Ryuuki refused to listen and was determined to rebel. The Omi Bureau also added fuel to the flames, stating that if Saito Ryuuki wants to exile Saito Douzan, she is willing to write to the Asai family, requesting the Asai family's support, and dispatching troops to Mino Country to help Saito Ryuuki in his rebellion. thing. After hearing the Omi Bureau¡¯s support, Saito Ryuuki became more confident and felt that with the help of the Asai family, he would be more confident in his actions. After that, Saito Ryuuki and Omi Bureau cried and knelt down to the retainers. Saito Ryuuki choked up and said: "My lords, you have watched me grow up since I was a child. Who else can I entrust to you besides you? Please wait. When my father rebelled against my grandfather, there were many The retainers help me. Without you, I will never succeed. Please help me." Faced with Saito Ryuuki's cry, all the retainers sighed. The retainers immediately discussed for a while. Saito Ryuukikora had ambitions to usurp the throne, but he had no practical talents. Without their help, it would be difficult to succeed. According to their speculation, Viper Saito D¨san did not form an alliance with the Asai family. It was just an ordinary decision. However, Saito Ryuuki had accumulated long-term hesitation and fear, his distrust of Viper Saito D¨san, and his lack of confidence in the Asai family. The uneasiness of his legitimate position suddenly broke out, and his thinking suddenly went awry, and he took a wrong approach and made the most extreme decision. But Saito Ryuuki is also right. He has been watched by all the retainers since he was a child. They must not sacrifice Saito Ryuuki like this. What's more, in the eyes of the retainers, this military remonstrance seems to be worth fighting. After all, as Saito Ryuuki said before, judging from the situation where Viper forced some families to support the Oda family, Viper is They have the intention of revenge on the families, and as Saito Ryuuki's retainers, even if they do not participate in Saito Ryuuki's rebellion, they will definitely be implicated. As for reporting to Viper, given Viper's character , and it is very likely that even the person who reported the report will not be spared. In this case, why not give it a try? So, the retainers discussed it for a while, and after making up their minds, they immediately stood up and said to Saito Ryuuki: "Okay, Your Highness, I promise you." The retainers agreed, Saito Ryuuki and Two people from the Omi Bureau were immediately exposed.?A look of gratitude. Saito Ryuuki immediately thanked him and said: "Thank you so much for your help, sir." However, although the retainers agreed, some of them were actually still wary of Viper's past methods and were still hesitating in their hearts. among. However, at this time, a voice came from outside the house, saying: "Your Highness, a letter has arrived." Saito Ryuuki opened the door, and a man standing close to him in the corridor whispered: "Your Highness, it is a confidential letter. Letter." After everyone opened the letter and looked carefully, they realized that it was the Oda family who had sent an envoy to Mino again. The purpose of the Oda family and the group was to respond to the request of the viper Saito Douzan and come to discuss the adoption of one of Oda Nobunaga's sons into the Saito family as the grandson of Saito Douzan. After hearing this news, Saito Ryuuki felt that the evidence was more conclusive, and said loudly to the hesitating retainers: "At this moment, do you have any doubts? Grandfather really wants to depose me. If it really comes to this step, he will Will you let us go?" Several of the retainers read the letter several times, and finally sighed, gritted their teeth and made a decision, saying: "Since the matter has reached this point, we will risk our lives for His Highness. "Okay." The other retainers also looked at each other, also bent down, and said: "I am willing to die for your highness." Seeing that everyone agreed, Saito Ryuuki strode into the room with a clenched fist and faced him. The shrine said: "Descendants of Silla Saburo from the source, I, Saito Ryuuki, here pray to the gods and Buddhas. The sin of banishing my grandfather can only be punished on me, Saito Ryuuki, alone. There is no need to implicate others." Everyone saw it. Ryuuki Saito swore a heavy oath, and he followed suit, promising to follow Ryuuki Saito and never betray him. He also entrusted his nephews and nephews in their respective families to Ryuuki Saito, who appeared to be taking care of him but were actually hostages. After making the oath, Saito Ryuuki and everyone discussed the strategy of rebellion. It was getting dark outside, and it suddenly started raining heavily outside, and it was getting heavier and heavier. Inside the house, Saito Ryuuki and others gathered around the fire pit, lowering their voices and discussing secretly. Staring at the half-dark charcoal burning in front of him, Saito Ryuuki whispered: "Grandfather, you never expected that I, Saito Ryuuki, would follow in the footsteps of my father and rebel, right?"
