Samurai of the Takeda Family

Chapter 417: Restoring Family Names

Jiafei, Huilin Temple.

A group of samurai is slowly climbing up the mountain. The first one of this group of samurai is an eleven or twelve-year-old young samurai dressed in white.

Although this young samurai was very young, he was already very tall, about the same height as the surrounding samurai, so the long-handled Dachi was placed on his waist, but it did not hinder his movement.

Between walking, he walked vigorously, and a little bit less jumped out of the young, and more stable than he was at this age.

Beside this young warrior, there is a monk in his fifties. The man's eyebrows are half black and half a hundred. Although he is old, his eyes are piercing, and he is obviously a resourceful man.

These two are naturally Li Xiaozhi's eldest son, Li Zheng, and Huzai Zongyi.

There is still some way to go to the mountain mén, Li Zheng asked: "Master Huzai, do you think Master Chao Yue will refuse the invitation of Master Yuguan and not participate in the funeral of Master Father-in-law?"

Huzai Zongyi smiled slightly and said: "I don't know, Master Chao Yue will probably have his own considerations. What's your own opinion? If Master Chao Yue refuses to say it for a while, you will continue to stay. Still give up."

Li Zheng shook his head, showing a somewhat distressed **** on his face, and said: "Master Gokan, really sent me a difficult errand, Master Huzai, then what do you think I should say?"

Huzai Zongyi smiled, and said: "Let's do what happens, I will remind you then."

Soon the group arrived at Huilin Temple, and the abbot Kua Chuan Shaoxi led a dozen monks to greet him outside the mountain mén.

Huzai Zongyi met Kuaichuan Shaoxi in person and greeted him from a distance, with a hint of joy on his face, and immediately stepped forward and bowed to his hands, saying: "Master Kuachuan, I really don't dare to let you wait outside in person."

Toriya Zongyi had previously studied under Kayakawa Shoshimén, so he has always been a tribute to his disciple.

Kuaichuan rejoiced in return, saying: "Actually, I have come to see the young master of the Li family."

After finishing speaking, Chuan Shaoxi looked at Li Zheng, her face showing closeness.

Li Zhengyi walked quickly to Kuaichuan Shaoxi and said: "I have seen Master Kuaichuan."

Kuai Chuan Shaoxi stepped down the steps and said to Li Zheng: "The Temple of Dharma is an old friend of the poor monk for many years. Now he has passed away. Although the poor monk is a monk, he will inevitably feel sad. I also hope that you will be sorrowful."

Li Zheng lowered his head when he heard it, and looked sad. Since he was a child, he lived in the Kuzuzaki Hall. As Mrs. Yukawa liked it, he often came and went in and out of the hall.

Shingen is also very satisfied with this future nv son-in-law.

Kuaichuan Shaoxi looked at Li Zheng's expression and nodded happily and said, "It seems that you are also a person who values ​​feelings."

Tiger Zongyi said at this time: "We are here to meet Master Chao Yue this time. I wonder if he can see us?"

Kuaichuan Shaoxi nodded, and said, "Of course, since the death of the hospital, Chao Yue has been closed to outsiders, but of course you are not among them. Please come in."

Toriya Zongyi heard that Kayakawa said that Takeda Nobuhiro had not seen outsiders in the past few days, and couldn't help feeling.

Soon after, Li Zheng and Toriya Zongyi had arrived outside the monk's room where Nobuhiro Takeda was.

Now Nobuhiro Takeda is wearing a black monk robe, facing the Buddha statue, chanting with his eyes closed.

Nobuhiro Takeda was four years younger than his elder brother, and he was nearly fifty.

Since living in seclusion as a monk after the Battle of Chuanakajima, Nobuhiro Takeda has been living as a monk, so he is well maintained, so he looks much younger than his elder brother.

Li Zheng, Toroya Zongyi did not disturb Takeda Shinfan's practice, so he waited under the steps for almost half an hour until Shinfan finished reciting the sutras.

Nobuhiro Takeda opened his eyes to see the two of them, smiled slightly on his face, and beckoned for them to enter the monk's room.

Li Zheng, Huzai Zongyi took off his shoes under the steps and walked into the monk's room.

Nobuhiro Takeda pointed to the two futons in front of him and asked them to sit down. Then a young novice brought two glasses of water and placed them in front of them.

As soon as we met, Nobuhiro Takeda opened mén and said, "Mountain mén is simple, and there is no hospitality. Are you here for the death of my brother?"

Li Zheng put down the cup and said: "Master Chao Yue, his father-in-law died in Komachang. Now the body has been transported back and the funeral is stopped in the museum. The owner of this funeral was recommended by the master. Come here, Master Gokan sent me to invite the master to return to the museum."

The head of the mourning is generally taken by the direct blood relatives of the deceased. In history, Nobunaga's 100-day taboo ritual was taken by Nobunaga's fourth son, and his adopted son, Yushiba Hideyoshi, served as the head of the mourning at Dade Temple.

In order to face Hideyoshita, Shibata Katsura in Hokuriku also performed a memorial service for Nobunaga, letting Nobunaga's sister-in-law, the wife of the city, be the head of the funeral.

Takeda Shinshige pondered for a while, and said: "Since I have become a monk, I have put aside all the worlds. This mourning master is not suitable for me. I am in the temple, so it is enough for my brother's dead soul."

As Li Zheng was about to speak, Huzai Zongyi chā spoke on the side: "Master Chaoyue, in fact, Yuguan Gong means to ask you to return to the vulgarity. The talent of the master is not inferior to the master’s brother. If he can assist the Yuguan Gong Taking charge of the family will not only stabilize the current situation, but also will not hinder the revitalization of Takeda in the future."

Nobuhiro Takeda listened to Toriya Zongyi's words, his eyes narrowed, and he asked, "Is this Shiro's meaning, or Toriya's meaning, or is Li Dan Ma Shou instructed you to ask the poor monk?"

When Li Zheng heard this, he was also astonished, and said without a word: "My father, my lord?"

Huzai Zongyi pressed his hand to indicate that Li Zheng needn't say much. Li Zheng nodded, and then resumed his sitting position.

Toroya Zongyi said: "Li Dan Ma Shou has returned to Viet-Chong, how could he have asked about Jia Fei, but Gokan is indeed sincere and wants to invite Master Chao Yue to come back."

Nobuhiro Takeda nodded when he heard that, and said: "I have heard a lot of rumors recently that Kai was quite unhappy with Shiro before my brother passed away, so he decided to make his last life and want me to succeed the Takeda family chief. But. afterwards……"

"Nonsense," Toriya Soi said categorically, "this must be a rumor that Oda Tokugawa is walking for a walk and wants to provoke an infighting in the family."

Nobuhiro Takeda glanced at Toriya Soi, and said, "I don’t mind if it’s a rumor, but Shiro is the one that I and my brother are optimistic about. When my brother was alive, he told me that Shiro’s abilities are enough to master. I’m from the Takeda family. So I absolutely don’t allow anyone to prevent Shiro from inheriting the Takeda family business.”

After listening to Takeda Nobuhiro's statement, Toroya Zong Oto secretly expressed joy.

Nobuyuki Takeda paused and said: "Although Shiro is young, he is easy to act agitated, but he has the courage that an old man like us did not have. At the moment, what is needed to fight for the world is not a person who sticks to the rules, but Shiro is so courageous and enterprising. People. I’m old, and I’m going to follow my brother in a few years, maybe you don’t know it yet."

Speaking of this, Nobuhiro Takeda pointed to a letter on the table, looking sad, and said: "The day before yesterday, Kansuke Yamamoto wrote me a letter saying that he had decided to die himself in order to repay his brother's great kindness."

"What Yamamoto-sama!"

Nobuhiro Takeda said that, Li Zheng and Toraya Sect Yi were shocked. Yamamoto Kansuke was the former first military division of the family. Now because of Shingen's death, he committed suicide and died.

Nobunaga Takeda smiled bitterly and said: "Yamamoto said in the letter that he is too old and disabled, and that he is inconvenient to move. To live is only làng fermi food. It is a blessing to live from Chuanzhong Island to this day. It’s better to follow the master under Jiuquan."

Hearing the death of Kansuke Yamamoto, Li Zheng and Toroya Zongyi were all embarrassed.

Nobuhiro Takeda glanced at Huzai Zongyi and Li Zheng, and said: "If Tajima Shou hadn't saved each other back then, the poor monk would have already died in battle on Chuanzhong Island. Things are bearish."

"So the brother's great loss of the poor monk will not go, but Shiro inherits the Takeda family, which is related to the rise and fall of the Takeda family. The poor monk will show his attitude to support Shiro and take charge of the family supervision. Now the poor monk has retired, and it is not convenient to intervene, so let him believe Feng and Shinnaga, let's support Shiro instead of the poor monk!"

After that, the three talked about some ordinary things. After a while, Huzai Zongyi and Li Zheng said goodbye.

Under the mountain mén, Huzai Zongyi and Li Zheng walked side by side on the mountain road.

Seeing Huzai Zongyi's relaxed look, Li Zheng couldn't help asking: "Master, my father is really unclear. Shall we invite Master Chao Yue?"

Huzai Zongyi smiled to Li Zheng and said, "It doesn't matter if you know or not. Our trip was dispatched by Lord Gokan, and fulfilling the mission is the first thing. But if it's your father. I know that I will still not oppose our temptation just now."

"Temptation?" Li Zheng said with a hint of suddenness, "It turns out that my father, my lord, is also worried that Master Chao Yue will come forward and fight for the house governor."

Huzaizong Yi nodded, and smiled: "It’s not impossible that Lord Yuguan is an upright person. He asked Master Chao Yue to preside over the funeral. It is indeed a sincere invitation, but our family of Li is a supporter of Lord Yuguan. Retainer, some things have to be considered for him."

"Then I understand, Master Chao Yue's refusal to participate in the great funeral can be regarded as a clear statement to all parties and abandoning the position of household supervisor."

"Yes," Huzai Zongyi nodded appreciatively, and said, "What's more, in my opinion, Master Chao Yue has been retired for a long time, and he has already lost his ambition to oppose the position of power. And he also stated that he is facing the imperial palace. With the support of the public, with the support of Takeda Noriyoshi and Mochizuki-den, the seat of Lord Gokan can sit more securely."

Among the relatives of the Takeda family, Nobuyoshi Takeda succeeded his father Nobubumi as the lord of Komoro Castle, ranking third in the first place, second to Nobuya Takeda and Katsuyori Takeda.

As a writer, Takeda Nobuya has a high qualification. Although he has always been indifferent to fame and fortune as a cultural person, he has always been good with the retinue of the Kai family such as Yama Prefecture and Baba, and his stance is also biased towards the old. Enterprising has obvious deviations.

Therefore, Nobuyoshi Takeda can express his support, which is good for Katsurai Takeda. Moreover, Nobuyuki Takeda and Nobuyuki Mochizuki have been very good with Li Xiao.

When they were on Chuanzhong Island, Li Xiao was their Sinology master, and the two also taught Li Xiao Japanese. Although they were not in the same place these years, they still communicated between them, which could tie them up to Takeda Katsuyari’s. The chariot is naturally something that Li Xiaole sees.

After Li Zheng realized this, he was also very pleased.

After a short rest in Kamioka City, Li Xiao led the army back to Chengsheng City, and disbanded the army in the city, and then returned to the castle tower to accompany Yusada Oba and Li Xiao, the second son of Li Xiao, to reunite with the family.

Li Yong is already seven years old. A boy at this age is extremely vigorous and vigorous. After Li Xiao returns home, Li Yong is working hard to tame a young foal.

Compared with Li Zhenglai, who was trained as a future paternalist, there are not too many requirements for Li to use Li Xiao.

It is true that pressure can make a person grow, but it can also make him lose a lot of joy.

As a father, Li Xiao still hopes that his son can grow up safely, and that his children and grandchildren will be around his knees in the future.

However, Li Xiao would not indulge in his son because of this, but Xiaoban Yuzhen made Li Xiao a little bit worried about being a mother and losing her son.

So in his early years, Li Xiao asked someone to go to Zhou Fangguo to find a famous Confucian scholar Nancun Mei Xuan to teach Li Yong Confucianism.

Although Nancun Meixuan was not well-known at this time, he was the founder of the Tozanan School of Confucianism in later generations, and was enough to teach Li Yong.

As an exchange for āo, after Nancun Meixuan came here, Li Xiao allowed him to open a Confucianism hall in Chengshengcheng Xiacheng, so that he could open a hall to teach apprentices.

Many of Li Xiao's servants' sons nv were also sent in to receive the teachings of Confucianism.

However, Li Yong, like Li Zheng, has an attitude of only knowing but not knowing much.

Li Yong's greatest interest is martial arts, and he has some thoughts about galloping on the battlefield when he grows up.

After Li Xiao knew his son's interest, he would not object. He himself is a first-rate spear master in Japan, and it would be great to train his son to inherit his spearmanship.

On this day, Li Xiao and Yuzhen Xiaoba faced the full courtyard cherry blossoms, enjoying refreshments while watching Li Yong running around in the courtyard.

Li is strong and strong, and he is very happy to play with several children of the same age.

However, Obata knew that Li Xiao was about to go to Iwaminato Town soon, and the couple had a short time together because they cherished it very much.

The two sat side by side, chatting carefully.

Because of the death of his parents, Li Zhengzhi Oba Yuzhen didn't like to hear about his battle on the battlefield, so he picked up a few customs and customs that he saw in Mino Hida, and briefly mentioned a few words.

On the contrary, Oba Yuzheng was a little bit of a fuss about the big things and small things after parting. About Li Yong and his daily life, he was very interested in telling Li Xiao.

Li Xiao listened quietly and carefully. Hearing interesting places, the two smiled knowingly, and there was a different kind of warmth in each other's hearts.

Li Xiao chatted with Obata Yusada for an afternoon. At this time, Jinbao Changxian, his wife, and two sons came to Chengsheng City to meet Li Xiao.

Li Xiao couldn't help but smile. He wanted to go to Toyama City and inspect it, but he didn't want Shinbo Changxian to come uninvited first.

And Yusada Obata was also very happy to hear that his younger brother was here.

Soon after Shinbao Changxian went inside to pay homage to Li Xiao, and his wife Yuko also saluted Li Xiao.

Li Xiao saw that Jinbao Changxian's wife, Yuko, was an nv son of the shinbō chief job. The nv son cultivated by such a famous family was naturally different in temperament.

In Li Xiao's opinion, the relationship between Jinbao Nagaken and Yuko should be very harmonious, otherwise they would not have been married for a few years and would have two sons.

The eldest son of Shinbo Nagaken is three years old and is now being held by his father, while the second son is still in infancy at the moment, apparently not long after he was born.

"It's all family members who don't need to restrain the monarchs and ministers," Li Xiao said with a smile, and then motioned for them to sit down.

Jinbao Changxian also smiled and nodded. He has been with Li Xiao for a long time, and he is his brother-in-law, so he is not very formal. His wife Yuko is also generous, and will pour tea for Li Xiao and Oba Yusada as soon as he sits down.

So the family quickly laughed.

Li Xiao looked at the two sons of Jinbao Changxian, and said: "Jangxian, now you have inherited the name of the Jinbao family, you are a great master of Yuezhong, and you have fulfilled the original desire to achieve something. If the two father-in-law and mother-in-law are today I’m still alive, and I’m very pleased to see you today."

"But since you have inherited the name of the Jinbao family, then the Obat family needs someone to inherit it, in order to repay your wish to rejuvenate the family name. I don't want to let your second son, how about inheriting the name of the Obat family in the future?"

Shenbao Changxian, Xiaoban Yuzhen listened to Li Xiao's words and looked at each other, with joy on his face. At the moment, the chief minister said: "Thank you for the Lord's completion. Actually, the minister has already thought about this. I didn't expect the Lord to still miss this and take the initiative to mention it. I really feel very impressed by the minister."

"But it's only necessary for this child to grow up."

In this era, the mortality rate of children is quite high, especially for infants in infants. It is good that one-half of them can grow up safely. This is true whether it is a commoner or a royal family. Same.

Li Xiaoyan said: "Yes, if the second son can be Yuanfu in the future, I will give him 20,000 stones in the future as the territory of the Xiaoban family in the future."

Jinbao Changxian couldn't help being overjoyed, and said, "Thank you, Lord."

Seeing this, Li Xiao nodded.

It is good to say that Li Xiao is cronyism. Although many family businesses have been criticized in modern times, the existence of family businesses has his reasons.

Especially in the Confucian tradition of Eastern society, the relationship between blood relatives is absolutely very important.

This was no exception even during the Warring States period. Whether it was Máo Tori Ryokawa or Takeda Nobuyasu within the Takeda family, Nobuhiro Takeda was a strong support for the Takeda clan.

This is even irreplaceable for the family members ~www.wuxiamtl.com~.

But when Li Xiao came to Japan alone, there is no relationship between brothers and sisters to use, so he must vigorously cultivate his wife and become a member of his family.

Just as when Ashikaga Takashi entered Kyoto, in order to suppress the Kanto, he gave the Kanto control to the Uesugi family of his mother's clan.

Let the Uesugi family monitor Kanto instead.

In Li Xiao's root system, in addition to the main branch of the Li family, the Jinbao family and the Xiaoban family will all exist in the future.

In the future, when Li Zheng inherits his position as the governor of the house, these two relatives will be his best man.

Seeing the day when the name of the Obat family was restored, Jinbao Nagaken was overjoyed.

And Yumi Xiaoba sees his brother's wish to be fulfilled, and the family name of Xiaoba's family can be inherited, which is enough to comfort the parents who died in Guofeng City back then, looking at Li Xiao's face even more gentle.
