    At the same moment when the Echigo Uesugi faction's talks collapsed, Chen Tan, the head of the Nagao family, was sitting in another Kurawa house in Kasugayama Castle. Honjo Minoru, who was sitting at the head of the center, looked sad and lamented: "  The rebellion must be put down as soon as possible. The news that our lord is seriously ill cannot be kept for long, and we don't have much time left. " "It's a pity that Echizen Shoden is not here!" Naoe Mitsuna rubbed his dry eyes and tried to stay awake.  I only sleep two or three hours a day, except for the time to deal with daily government affairs, and devote all my energy to discussing ways to deal with it.  They are under great pressure these days. The young and powerful governor suddenly fell seriously ill, and then proposed to abdicate and live in seclusion. You can imagine how bad their life was. Nakajo Echizen Morutozu's status is no less than Honjo Sano. If there is  It might be better for him to have one more person and more strength, at least he will feel better in his heart.  It's just that he is currently in charge of the autumn harvest. The Nagao family also has more than a dozen farm territories in Shimotsu. The annual tribute and money in these territories are collected and transferred by Nakajo Fujitsu. The advantage of having him in charge of Shimotsu at present is that the main village Shigecho  There won't be any quarrel with Kurokawa Moromi for a while, but the downside is that he can still control all the people in the city.  "Oh, what are you sighing for? I think it's good that the lord of the country is Wu Weiden! What do you think?" Saito Asanobu mindlessly beat the time and hummed Tianle. He has a carefree temperament.  He was the one who cried the most and made the fuss the most at first, but now he started to moan and talk nonsense again, leaving the people around him helpless to do anything about this guy who talks nonsense.  Nagao Fujikage stroked his goatee and said with a smile: "Shimono Mamoru, don't be ridiculous, how can you leave such a big matter as the king to an outsider" Saito curled his lips at Nobu and said: "Is Wuweidian an outsider? He is a member of the Nagao family.  Son-in-law!" Naoe Mitsuna explained: "That's different. The leader of my country must be from Echigo, and he must also be from the Nagao family" "Wait! What does this mean?  Is there anyone in our group who wants to be the leader of the country? Is it Tajima Mamoru, Toyozen Mamoru or Echizen Mamoru?" Saito Asanobu looked at Nagao Fujikage, Nagao Kagenobu and Nagao Masakage suspiciously.  These three people are powerful members of the Fuchu Nagao family. They are from the Shimoda Nagao family, the Suyoshi Nagao family, and the Ueda Nagao family. As for the other three Nagao families, they were captured by Nagao Kagetora, the governor of the Fuchu Nagao family.  Just destroy it. The current governor of the Sanjo Nagao family, Nagao Toshiro Kageaki, is a branch of the original Sanjo Nagao family. He is currently the lord of Sanjo Castle. Being too young is the biggest disadvantage and he does not have the strength to challenge the governor.  .  The governor of the Nagao family of Zao-do, Nagao Keishika, accidentally contracted the disease a few years ago when the plague broke out and died. Now the governor of the Nagao family of Zao-do is his legitimate son Nagao Kanshiro Keikichi, who just a few months ago  I haven't figured out how to be promoted to the Lord of Jiguan City yet. I'm young and don't have enough prestige to be qualified to compete.  The only person left in the Biwajima Nagao family is Biwajima Yashichiro. He is also relying on Nagao Kagetora as a close warrior without any foundation. He is the weakest and least qualified person in the Nagao family.  Nagao Fujikage seemed to be very surprised and leaned back, and tried to sit up straight again: "I never thought about it" Nagao Kagenobu immediately denied it: "How could I do that kind of thing" Nagao Fujikage  Nagao Masakage just shook his head: "I no longer have this thought" "Really?" Saito Asanobu still looked suspicious, which made Nagao Kagenobu very angry: "Zhong Kui! What on earth are you causing trouble! I'll wait.  Do you want me to swear to the gods and Buddhas without any second thoughts? " "Hahaha I didn't say anything, nothing!" Saito continued to beat him with narrowed eyes.  Humming his song, after Saito Nobubu made a fuss, the three powerful warriors of the Nagao family became the focus of everyone. Regardless of whether they have the intention or not, they are capable and possible to replace them.  Honjo Sano sat there with a solemn expression and said nothing, looking back and forth on the faces of the three people: "Echizen Mamoru has no chance. The original rebellious behavior of the Ueda Nagao family was too disappointing and can be ruled out, but Mamoru  Mamoru has many connections but lacks ambition. The most important thing is that he is too old to be ruled out as he is nearly sixty years old. From this, it seems that only Toyozen Mamoru is the most powerful to compete for the position of the family governor But I will never be there for one day.  Not even Bunzen Mamoru can allow the position of the head of the Echigo Kingdom to slip away from Nagao Nagao!" Smart people have noticed that Honjo Mino looks at Nagao Kagenobu with extreme distrust, and the two representatives are not convinced!  It would be terrible if the writing bosses of the Dai and Isect were in conflict. Nagao Kagenobu also seemed to notice that Honjo Mino's eyes were wrong, and said angrily: "How could I, Kagenobu, covet the position of the king? With Kagetora  I won¡¯t do any delusions in a day! That¡¯s okay, right?¡±"Isn't it true that a master dies" "Shut up, Shimonoseki!"  "Honjo Minoru and Nagao Kagenobu both stopped the Saito Asanobu who was talking nonsense at the same time. They looked at each other as if they wanted to find out their true thoughts from each other's eyes. The long silence made the atmosphere in the room extremely dull and depressing, until Nagao  Okage Nobu sighed and said: "Kagetora's health will not be a problem, and I, Kage Nobun, will never get involved in the position of the country's leader. This is the biggest promise!  " "I hope that Toyozen Mamoru will abide by his promise. I will remember every word of today with all the members!  "Honjo Sano's face showed a hint of fatigue. This persecution will definitely damage the close cooperative relationship between the two parties, but in order to protect the foundation that his beloved disciple Nagao Kagetora has worked hard to build, he can only fight hard. See  The atmosphere in the room didn't change for a long time. Ishikawa Shigeji took the initiative to joke with Saito Asanobu: "Isn't your kid fascinated by the maid of Wuweiden?  Did Wu Weidian agree?  "The Ishikawa family is one of the four elders of the Echigo Uesugi family. The four elders are the Nagao clan, the Saito clan, the Ishikawa clan, and the Chisaka clan. Because their family status is exactly the same as the original guardian Nagao clan, they talk to each other.  It is relatively casual. For example, the Saito family where Saito Asanobu lives has been under the Nagao family's account very early, so it is highly regarded and reused by Nagao Kagetora. Moreover, Ishikawa Shigeji and Saito Asanobu have played together since childhood.  , they have a close relationship with each other and are almost blood brothers. Ishikawa Shige is five years older than him. Now he is the father of two children in his early thirties. His wife is currently pregnant with a third child.  , and in contrast, Saito Asanobu, who is still a bachelor, has become the subject of constant jokes. ¡°Hi!  Forget it!  It¡¯s so heartless that the falling flowers are intentional and the flowing water is ruthless!  That woman was no ordinary person. She was originally the legitimate daughter of the Habayashi family in Kyoto, and she was married into the Kira family with Takeideon's mother, Ai Gozen!  "When he mentioned that beautiful lady, Saito Asanobu immediately shrunk, and shook his head with a wry smile: "I, Saito Asanobu, am still considered the number one person in Echigo, but I am still far inferior to the noble ladies in Kyoto.  " "This is wrong!  Hiraga Sakyou Ryo also came over and said, "Didn't Wuweidian marry the princess of my Nagao family?"  If you go to the field to guard the temple, you will definitely succeed!  " "Hahaha, it's the same thing as me!  Saito clapped his hands at Nobu, laughed heartlessly, and smiled appreciatively at Hiraga's heavy investment: "Then let's borrow Sakyou Ryo's good words!  From now on, if my good deeds really come true, I will definitely treat Ryo Sakyou to a drink!  " "Easy to say, easy to say!  "Hiraga Sakyou Ryo caught a glimpse of the eyes of several big bosses returning to calmness, and he breathed a sigh of relief. After a while, someone proposed a strategy to deal with the rebellion, gradually leading the topic to the main topic of this discussion, and the heated discussion gradually brought the matter to a close.  The depressive atmosphere was removed, and the little discord just now seemed to have never happened, and disappeared silently. Only the person involved knew exactly how many traces were left. While the Nagao family was in entanglement, the Kira retainers group also became entangled.  There was a fierce dispute. The protection of a country was not an inconspicuous gift. Such a big thing was more exaggerated than pie in the sky. Many warriors never dreamed that they would encounter such a dreamy thing, but who could  The incomprehensible Kira retainers were very angry when they thought that the governor had refused so simply. Especially when they found out that they could not figure out what Kira was thinking, everyone focused their attention on Yamamoto Tokiyuki.  , only he has the greatest weight in Kira Yoshitoki's heart, and his words are the most effective. Yamamoto Tokiyuki didn't quite understand Kira Yoshitoki's performance, but he couldn't forcefully argue with his master, so he could only ask patiently: "This is it.  This is a rare opportunity, the owner should seize it!  Why should we give up our position as the leader of the country?  This is not a dove occupying the magpie's nest, but a legitimate opportunity!  " Yamamoto Tokiyuki's question also raised the voices of many people. They didn't understand why they refused. The quickest and fastest opportunity to seize a country slipped by before their eyes, making the Kira family samurai almost die in pain. However,  The discipline of the Kira retainers is not comparable to that of the Nagao retainers. Even if they have problems, they will not stop the governor on the spot. Many people are looking forward to the governor's explanation. This is a testament to Kira Yoshitoki's ability.  I admire him. He has never made a mistake in the past few years. Every decision he makes brings incomparable benefits to the Kira family. This benefit is not only personal gain or loss, but also a sense of glory and happiness from top to bottom. The Kira family  Whether they are walking on the streets of Kyoto or in the fields of Echigo, the samurai always hold their chests high and their heads held high, because they believe that they are the best in the world. This is also the samurai culture that the Kira family has always instilled. ¡°I would rather not have this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.  Chance, I don¡¯t want Hu Ji to be disappointed in me.  " "Your Highness the Princess will not be disappointed. This is Danzhengdian's personal wish. No one is forcing it, so why not take the initiative?"  If you give up, you will be in greater danger later, right?  "Hosokawa Fujitaka doesn't quite understand why this is happening.Why give up this opportunity when it is so good?  His question was echoed by many people.  Kira Yoshihi coughed and said in a low voice: "I can't live up to everyone's expectations, nor can I fall into the injustice of the Ashikaga family. My brother is seriously ill and entrusting a country to me. This is sincerity and a test of our sincerity.  , If our family really takes over, my brother won¡¯t say anything, but the Nagao retainers will definitely oppose our family, and I, Kira Yoshitoki, will also fall into the same problems that my brother encountered back then. " Yamamoto Tokiyuki knows his concerns!  What is it, but he is still unwilling to give up this opportunity: "Veteran, I bet that Mimasaku Mori of this house will definitely convince others to support the decision to demolish the main hall." "Yes! I also know that Misaku Mori will never sit back and watch Echigo fall apart.  , maybe he will agree reluctantly, but will he be sincere? If you were the representative of the Nagao family tree, and I was the seriously ill brother, would you be willing to have someone occupy the magpie's nest? Nagao Kagenobu, Nagao Masaki, Nagao?  Will Oto Kage, Nagao Kageren and other members of the Nagao family compromise?" Kira Yoshito was still shaking his head.  "They will definitely do it!" Yamamoto Tokiyuki said eagerly: "Please believe me, veteran, because the will of Danzhengden and the family members are the same. Now there is an empty king in the Nagao family, and there is a rebellion outside. If not,  If you deal with it carefully, it is very possible that the entire Echigo system will fall apart! They can't propose a better candidate, let alone give a reason for rejection, because it will appear that they are selfish. " "So it's just me?  A better choice has been given!" Kira Yoshishi still shook his head.  There was another important reason that he didn't say, that is, nothing he said could be called unjust. He could be cruel or ruthless, but he could not be unfaithful, unjust, filial, or disloyal. Nagao Kagetora was kind to him, and now he just  If he fell ill and took away his position as the leader of the Echigo Kingdom, how could he have the face to face the white flag of the Ashikaga family in the future, and how could he claim to be a member of the famous samurai clan?  So he can't do it and must never do it.  This time, the Kira retainers rarely stood together. The clumsy-tongued Mikawa samurai couldn't come up with a formula, so he could only criticize the followers. Hosokawa Fujitaka nodded understandingly, and then persuaded him with sincerity: "Master  Sir, are you talking about Princess Huji? But this is obviously not possible! How can a woman be the leader of the country? " "Who says it's not possible? It's okay if it wasn't done before!  "Ji Liangyi snorted coldly. He hated it when someone questioned his authority, especially when it came to the issue of Hu Ji. He slapped the case and said proudly: "Who dares to say that Hu Ji is not good?  ? Is it the retainers of Echigo, or those trash from Kanto? If you want to make irresponsible remarks, first ask the opinion of the flag seal behind me!" The four flag seals hanging behind him are Ashikaga Usuzaburo Yoshitoki,  Wuqitong, with four large flags with chrysanthemum patterns, the first two are white flags of Genji, and the latter two are black flags. The first time the four flags appeared was at the Battle of Funaokayama, and then with the battle of the Katsuragi Ashikaga family in the Battle of Katsuragi  Famous and famous all over the world.  Even the native people of Kanto have heard of the name Ashikaga Ususaburo. Along with his reputation, the legend of Momotaro's demon-killing demons gradually spread. This is Imamomotaro's Ashikaga Ususaburo. Of course, this is the ignorant native people.  It is a myth that only one can believe, but the earth servant originated from the local people, and the influence of this spread cannot be underestimated. For example, there are already fishermen near Yuzawa Imperial Palace in Uonuma County who say that Wuweidian killed the Yuzawa evil ghost and Yaksha sealed the hell.  Rumors of the Gate.  Speaking of these four flags, the Kira family samurai no longer had any dissatisfaction. They stared at the four black and white flags for an instant. If they called themselves the Ashikaga Kamui family two years ago, they would have to worry about other people's objections.  If it were the case, no one would express any other opinions if they took out the flag seal of Ashikaga Utsusaburo Yoshitoki in an open and honest manner. Instead, they would worship the deeds of this famous general of the Ashikaga family.  Having traveled through all sixty-five countries in the world, Kira Yoshitomo was also one of the most famous generals in the list. He forcibly defeated the overlord Miyoshi of Kinki and sued for peace. This strength was beyond the imagination of ordinary samurai, especially in those few battles where no one was able to defeat him.  Hua Qiao's head-to-head battle based solely on strength was completely beyond the expectations of the Kanto samurai. Therefore, many Kanto samurai are optimistic about the Kira family going to Echigo, hoping to bring something to Kanto. What will be specifically brought to them, they themselves  Not sure either.  These four big flags symbolize the three hundred years of glory of the Kira family, and more importantly, the glory of the thousands of warriors of the Kira family. If the Lord is honored, the subject will be honored, and if the Lord is humiliated, the subject will be humiliated. Even a child like Honda Mimi understands this simple truth.  Every young man in Yuanfu must swear allegiance to the Ashikaga family in all their lives under these four banners. This is their glory, and the honor of the Ashikaga family's white flag cannot be tarnished.  Honda Tokimasa was still a little unwilling: "But the owner-sama" "Has the owner-sama already made a decision? That's fine! After Echigo, no one dares to say a word about the owner-sama, and let Kunibu grant"I will do my best to guard Echigo. This kindness is enough to repay the kindness the main hall owes to my Kira family.  " Yamamoto Tokiyuki shook his head at his disciple, who immediately woke up and quickly lowered his head and retracted. Kira Yoshi's attitude was so clear and his will was as firm as iron. If there are still people who don't understand at this time, then they are really looking for trouble. " Kira Yoshi  Shi squinted his eyes and glanced at the two rows of retainers on the left and right, pretending not to notice his little movement. At this moment, the Kira retainers group understood the strong will of the master, and lowered their heads one by one to express their obedience to his order. "Very good!"  A faint smile appeared on Kira Yoshitoki's face, and he asked sternly: "I am the sect of the Ashikaga Imperial Family, and Ashikaga Ususaburo always keeps his word and does what he says!"  The family said that Torahime can be the head of the Echigo Kingdom, so she will definitely do it!  Who dares to question?  Who dares to resist?  "The loud shouts of shouts shocked all the Kira family members. Out of natural awe for their master, the Kira family warriors couldn't help but fall to the ground and shouted in unison: "We are willing to be driven by swords, guns, bows and arrows.  We are willing to do our best for the owner of the museum!  " Kiragi always has an unspeakable feeling when he becomes more and more majestic, making every brave warrior lower his head in fear, even Taka Tsunade Watanabe, Masashige Naito and others are no exception. What they fear is not power and position.  , even the summons of Ashikaga Yoshiki had never been so fearful to them. What they were afraid of was the power of Kira Yoshiki. Yamamoto Tokiyuki asked: "Then how to deal with the crusade against the Echigo rebellion?  " "Of course we have to go out!  I, the Kira Army, will take charge!  This is my family's first battle in Echigo. You must deal with it carefully and don't discredit our family!  " Kira Yoshishi said firmly. Watanabe Takazuna patted his chest and confidently assured: "Please rest assured, Master!  I'll never make a mistake!  "    "very good!  What we want is this kind of momentum!  Kira Yoshitoki suddenly stood up, walked to the footpath, looked around at the retainers, and said, "Tell me, where did the Kira family's reputation come from?"  How did I come to the Ashikaga family?  " "Of course it was typed!  "Takigawa Tokiyoshi jumped up and shouted: "My Kira family earned its martial name through bloody battles!  Please lead us, Master, to defeat the enemy as we did before, let the white flag of my Ashikaga family shine on the land of Echigo, and listen to the enemy's terrified wail!  " "That's very well said!  very good!  " Kira Yoshitoki gave Takigawa Tokimasu a satisfied look, walked quickly to the flag seal behind him and patted the Ashikaga Futakiryo on the wall. He looked back and yelled: "What is the Genji White Flag?  This is the white flag of my Ashikaga family!  And this is the white flag of Ashikaga Kamisaburo!  Why should I, the Genji of Kawachi, be the pillar of the Genji?  It depends on military merit!  Without the protection of the Great Bodhisattva Hachiman, without the protection of generations of pillars of the Genji family, without the fighting of the generations of the Minamoto family, would there be the white flag of the Minamoto family, and the two generations of the Minamoto shogunate?  Therefore, I don¡¯t want any Echigo to protect me!  This family is neither the lord of the country nor the protector of the daimyo. It is none of these. We want to revive the Minamoto family, the pillar of the family. We want the white flag to fly again. You guys, fight for this ideal!  " "White flag!  white flag!  Won victory!  Won victory!  "The warriors of the Kira family jumped up and roared excitedly, and Hosokawa Fujitaka couldn't help but dance along. For more than sixty years since the Ming Dynasty coup, the Genji family has been bullied and humiliated. The general was assassinated, the general was exiled, and the general was puppeted.  , the general was driven out of Kyoto again and again, like steel needles piercing his heart, the blood was bloody and miserable. Every member of the Ashikaga Ichimon has had a dream to revitalize the shogunate since he was a child, but the reality is so cruel.  The face of the Genji Dongliang family and the honor passed down by their ancestors have been ruined again and again. Who in the world takes the shogunate seriously? Did they dare to do this in the Luyuanyuan era?  What is it like to make them commit seppuku? What a shame and humiliation! Hosokawa Fujitaka shouted: "My Lord is the only one who can save the family of Genji in Kawachi. The only one who can save the building will collapse!"  "The white flag has a fatal attraction for samurai. Even just two simple words can make people feel a rush of blood boiling all over the body. But Yamamoto Tokiyuki has a different kind of excitement. He knows that Kira Yoshitoki is here.  What does it imply? The hidden Royal White Flag may be revealed at some point in the future. "Has the master finally changed his name?  " Yamamoto Tokiyuki's eyes widened with joy and expectation: "White flag!  The white flag of the Ashikaga family, how many years has it been called like this?  It¡¯s been so long ago that I can barely remember it!  " "As long as you understand!  Get ready to go out!  Don't let me catch you slacking off for a year!  " "Please rest assured, Master!"  We will never wait again!  "Both the confident Watanabe Takazuna, Naito Masashige, and Takigawa Masushige, or the confident Takigawa Tokimasu and Shima Tokikatsu, they are all starting to figure out how to get the most.??Military exploits.  (To be continued.)
