Chapter 181
Akechi Mitsuhide never thought that Oda Nobutaka would correspond with Hashiba Hideyoshi.
When he sent Nobutaka to the Kobe family, and then let him return to the Oda family, he had already made the corresponding awareness.This realization is cruel to his children who have become "Oda", and it is also a kind of torture to himself.But at the same time, because of Akechi Mitsuhide's status as "the real Oda Nobunaga", it is reasonable and reasonable for his children to return to the Oda family. The time spent together, the lies fabricated by bringing them to the Oda house are also difficult to catch loopholes, and Saburo is also busy with the war-it can be said that as long as a period of time passes, his children will mix the image of Saburo with his image, It is inevitable.
Akechi Mitsuhide was the only one who felt guilty, disturbed, and tortured in such a seemingly perfect thing.
He always appears very cold when necessary, even though he knows how many lives will be lost because of him, he still puts forward those suggestions to Saburo as always.But this does not mean that he has no warmth - if he is really cold to the end, he will not be unable to bear the pressure when he was young and leave, nor will he return to the Oda family after years of ups and downs, becoming a Saburo's retainer.
It's just that most of his warmth, and most of his loyalty, are dedicated to Saburo - this is because of the guilt of the other party for taking on his life, and also because of the charm of Saburo's personality, for the purpose of "struggling for hegemony". Reasons for ideal deterrence.He had almost already made up his mind to sacrifice for Saburo-even he himself had this idea as a premise. What his children thought was not important to Akechi Mitsuhide, who was born and raised in the Warring States Period.
The rare guilt and uneasiness that is cherished in my heart because of sending away my children is not because of my reluctance to my children, but because of my desire to control their lives in the future so that it will not affect Oda Nobutada. Manipulating the pain of others.
He is not a person suitable for ups and downs in the political situation, but he is the most suitable person for the ups and downs in the political situation.After Saburo took over, the Oda family is no longer a place for mediocre people to survive. Compared with the elders of the Oda family and the ministers of Mino, Akechi Mitsuhide, who has a weak foundation, can only try his best to show his talents. Every step of his struggle can get tangible rewards that can make him feel at ease, but he has no desire for these, and what he longs to see is the scene where Saburo finally wins the world.
For those who have glimpsed history, this is not an elusive goal.But for Akechi Mitsuhide who was in it, it was like being in the sea with fog and fog, and it was hard to see even the small island where he lived temporarily, let alone crossing the ocean to reach the land.The more he wants to achieve what Saburo wants, the more he has to consider, and the more he realizes that there is little hope of success.Especially in recent years, various places have fought against the Oda family. Although the result is that the Oda family successfully broke the situation and turned against the generals, the process involved continuous speculation and planning.
This kind of tension that can't tell the real direction and makes people feel nervous every step of the way has been pressing on Akechi Mitsuhide since he became a retainer of the Oda family. If there are other retainers who can share the battle, the existence of Token Fusang It's just that he really needs to worry about it alone.Mitsuhide Akechi, who was not likely to be able to get along with his children (and he was a concubine), was even less likely to have much communication with his children at this time-this is also an absurd request for Saburo. Mitsuhide Akechi not only agreed in the end but also cheated The reason why the children said "Saburo is their biological father".
It turned out that Oda Nobutaka still had doubts
Akechi Mitsuhide didn't think Oda Nobutaka would look for Hashiba Hideyoshi if he wanted to find supporters.Leaving aside Saburo's health, the position of governor of the Oda family has not yet reached the point where these children can compete for it. In Gifu City alone, there are many retainers who are of higher birth than Hashiba Hideyoshi and have no less power than him.What made Nobutaka choose to communicate with Hashiba Hideyoshi could only be what Takenaka Hanbei said earlier, "to spy on Mr. Akechi's identity" - euphemistically using Hashiba Hideyoshi's hand to get in touch with Takenaka Hanbei, without knowing the inside story People don't think there's anything unusual about it, and with Takenaka Hanbei's current power position, it's hard to gain the attention of others, but Takenaka Hanbei is a friend of Akechi Mitsuhide who rarely puts it on the bright side.
Such a method can be regarded as thoughtful for Oda Nobutaka's age.
If Hashiba Hideyoshi is not worthy of the current Oda Nobutaka's special relationship, Akechi Mitsuhide should also have nothing to make Nobutaka suspicious!
"Why... Nobutaka would spy on me to Mr. Takenaka"
Before he knew it, Akechi Mitsuhide had murmured.
"In order to confirm my own background." Takenaka Hanbei replied, "Mr. Akechi thinks why I can go from doubting your true identity...to confirming it directly."
Perhaps it was Akechi Mitsuhide who drew his sword decisively that left a deep impression on him. Hanbei Takenaka added: "However, I am the only one who would guess this kind of absurd thing. At least His Highness Nobutaka who was in it couldn't do it at all." Think about that."
Takenaka Hanbei's words made Akechi Mitsuhide heave a sigh of relief, but the complicated emotions that followed still made it difficult for him to relax.
So far, Akechi Mitsuhide can recall about Oda Nobutaka, the only thing he rarely taught him to write when he was young and the thing about sending him to Kobe's house.The former was due to economic distress, and it didn’t last long in the end. After he became an official in the imperial court, he replaced it with hiring others to teach; the latter was for political purposes, because he had already invested in Saburo at that time, and sent Xinxiao to travel. He only sent it out of the house, and deliberately avoided the Oda family samurai who came to pick him up.
Such a short time together is even difficult to recognize a person's personality, why now Oda Nobutaka can still distinguish his biological father from his nominal father, has doubts about who his father is, and even directly targets Mitsuhide Akechi as the object of suspicion!
Could it be that the relationship between father and son is really so hard to break?
No...it shouldn't be possible.
"With Mr. Takenaka's intelligence, it should be easy to see."
Under the cover of the face scarf, it was hard to see what kind of expression Mitsuhide Akechi had, and the eyes that were exposed were also dim, making it really difficult to judge what kind of emotion he was in.I can only hear his tone of voice is still faint, and only when I listen carefully can I detect a little bit of struggle inside.
"Nobuhyo doubts his..."
After all, he is in the army at the moment, even if the other retainers have just left and the ashigaru who is patrolling around will not approach easily, Akechi Mitsuhide also vigilantly hides the word "life experience" and does not leave any clues that can be caught by others ——This is purely a skill that was forced out after realizing that the swordsmen were not as loyal as they thought they were.
Because this matter is of great importance, Hanhei Takenaka, who had been careful to blur the key information from the very beginning and avoid telling the truth directly, easily understood Mitsuhide Akechi's meaning and replied: "It's just a suspicion. Reading between the lines, it seems to be asking if there are any brothers in the Oda family who are similar to the lord's age, but who have disappeared or died."
These conversations that only two smart people can understand the meaning made Saburo, who was not good at detours, confused. He should have been one of the parties involved, and he simply sat cross-legged on the ground, waiting for the two people to finish their speech. draw a specific conclusion.Akechi Mitsuhide frowned again after hearing Takenaka Hanbei's answer, but his eyes were much brighter than before.
"There is still a possibility of redemption." He finally concluded.
Under Akechi Mitsuhide’s persistent veil, almost no one would notice his appearance. From 1568 to the present, only Takenaka Hanbei has pointed out that his eyebrows and eyes are similar to Saburo’s—but only the eyebrows and eyes are similar. If so, it proves nothing.As long as Akechi Mitsuhide doesn't show his face in front of people, even if someone suspects that he looks similar to Saburo, they can only be suspicious.
Originally, Akechi Mitsuhide had been prepared to hide his face for the rest of his life, but now that Oda Nobutaka's accident happened, it just reminded him to pay more attention to covering up his appearance in the future.
Oda Nobutaka is not as sensitive as Takenaka Hanbei. According to Takenaka, he probably mistakenly thought that he might be the son of Oda Nobunaga's brother...then the one who is most likely to be mistaken by Oda Nobutaka should be him The original brother Oda Nobuyuki, right?
Unaware that there was another Hori Hidemasa who tried to secretly confirm his identity before, and had already rejected this possibility, Akechi Mitsuhide frowned and thought for a while before finally digging out from his mind the appearance of Oda Nobuyuki decades ago .
His face is a bit slender, and he seems to be a handsome man with good features in his memory, but he is more like his mother Tsuchida Gozen... Anyway, he doesn't look like Mitsuhide Akechi.Compared with Xinxing, Saburo is more like his brother with the same father and mother.
If you use Oda Nobuyuki as an excuse—no, it is very feasible to use a dead person as an excuse, but the Oda family is not without veterans who are familiar with Nobuyuki.After Xinxiao's identity was changed to the son of Nobuyoshi, the order of succession to the governor of the family will be backward, but similarly, Xinxiao's brothers and sisters will be changed accordingly.Unlike his biological father, who has not been together for a long time, his children are much more familiar with each other. It is not known whether Xinxiao has doubts, or someone else besides Xinxiao has doubts, but only Xinxiao has taken action. At this time, making a fuss about Shin Hyo's life experience, whether it is concealed or not, will appear abnormal.
And Hashiba Hideyoshi... I don't know how much that man learned from Nobutaka.
Thinking of the person he has always been secretly afraid of, Akechi Mitsuhide does not think it is strange that Oda Nobutaka and Hashiba Hideyoshi have been in touch.Due to the limitation of space distance, he could not always receive news from Omi—Hashiba Hideyoshi was not born as a businessman at all, and built his troops like iron barrels. Most of the news about Hashiba Hideyoshi was from Akechi Mitsuhide. He learned from Hanbei Takenaka's few words in the letter, but it is also because he has never let go of his attention to Hideyoshi Hashiba that he understands better than others what kind of slick and sophisticated man is behind that man's honest appearance. heart of.
As long as Hashiba Hideyoshi deliberately wants to make friends, it is absolutely impossible for Oda Nobutaka to resist that guy's methods at his current age.
But Hashiba Hideyoshi...what reason is there to accept the overtures of Nobutaka who has not yet established a firm foothold in the Oda family and only participated in the war this year!
"Then, is it this year when Nobutaka wrote to Mr. Hashiba and Mr. Takenaka?" Abandoning the possibility of directly misleading Oda Nobutaka, he focused his attention on the reason why Nobutaka pursued his background. Hanbei asked the last question about Nobutaka.
Sure enough, Hanbei Takenaka opened his mouth and replied, "As far as I know, it was in early February of this year."
It is less than half a year from now, Oda Nobutaka wants to use Hashiba Hideyoshi to establish a relationship with Takenaka Hanbei, and the correspondence should not be too frequent. It seems that there is no way to reveal too much to Hashiba Hideyoshi—if it is about his own life experience If in doubt, Takenaka is the one to focus on. Even if you are attracted by Hashiba Hideyoshi, you will focus more on Takenaka's communication.
Hashiba Hideyoshi probably didn't know anything.
It’s just that if you have doubts for a long time, why did Nobutaka start to explore his life experience not in 1572, but now? Akechi Mitsuhide has not been in Gifu Castle for a long time. This year, he didn’t even stay long for the New Year. North Zhuangcheng, did not meet Xinxiao after returning, and hurriedly went to Zhizhicheng with the army.It is unreasonable for Xinxiao to fix his doubts on him when he has not seen him at all!
No, it should be Shinhyo who wants to get to the bottom of it now.
Akechi Mitsuhide lowered his eyes, already seeing through the ambition that Oda Nobutaka didn't even realize himself, which came after Oda Nobutada took over.
"if it is like this."
He looked at Saburo.
"Your Highness, are you willing to decide on the heir first?"
"Heirs, aren't you talking about Xinxiao?" Saburo looked blankly at Mitsuhide Akechi, and under the serious eyes of the other party, he straightened his sitting posture a little, "I think everyone is still young...but I am also old when I think about it-I Will consider it. Hmm!"
"There is no need to be in a hurry." Akechi Mitsuhide said, "After Takeda Katsuyori has dealt with the chaos in Takeda, he will inevitably raise his troops again. No one but His Highness can take charge of the overall situation. It is said that he is deciding on an heir, just in case One. As for the matter of Xinxiao, it is not worth worrying about after you have an heir."
"I know, as long as I have an heir and let him stay in the front line, everyone won't react so much to me coming to the front line!"
"...Only this is impossible."
Barely dispelling Saburo's ridiculous thoughts, Akechi Mitsuhide pressed his temple with a headache, then took a long breath and bowed his head towards Saburo.
Both his fist and forehead touched the cold and solid ground, which was the same gift as when Saburo saw him again after many years and was asked to be a retainer by him.
"I'm very ashamed. Because of my negligence, you and I (the real identity) are at risk of being exposed." He said to Saburo, "Please take back the Sakamoto Castle you once handed over to me."
"It's been handed over to you a long time ago, and Xiaoguang managed it very well. You built the city yourself. Tell me all of a sudden—I don't need this." I was bluffed by Akechi Mitsuhide's sudden offering of the city With a jump, Saburo immediately refused.
"No. I almost caused a catastrophe. Even if I can prevent the crisis in time, it doesn't mean that my previous omissions should be ignored."
Akechi Mitsuhide said firmly.
"Please take back Sakamoto Castle—this is the punishment I deserve."
Shin Hyo: I just want to find my dad!Dad, what's wrong with you!
Hahahaha.
There seems to be such an incident... Sakamoto Castle or something.I seem to have mixed up with the Mibuchi Tohide thing...forget it.Appropriate changes are for the integrity of the plot and the fullness of the characters, believe me.Look at my serious expression.
Mitsuhide Akechi’s suggestion was to establish an heir, and then Saburo directly handed over the position of governor to Nobutada hahaha (in history, Nobunaga asked Nobutada to succeed him as governor)
