Chapter 412 15. Keep the Wealth Within the Family

Terutora Uesugi hugged Yamauchi Taro. He vowed not to marry in this life, to devote himself to gods and Buddhas, and not to have any more children of his own. But that doesn't mean he doesn't like children, let alone his sister's son.

Taro Yamauchi's mood was not very high. A child over three years old had already roughly understood the difference between life and death. He just found out that he no longer had a father, so naturally he was still sad.

However, it seems that Yamauchi Yoshikatsu and Uesugi Teruatora have somewhat similar temperaments. Yamauchi Taro is still very close to Uesugi Teruatora. Even though they met only a few times, it didn't stop the two from getting close.

Of course, in addition to coming to see Taro Yamauchi, Terutora Uesugi also wanted to talk to Mrs. Nagao.

We won’t comment on what was said, but let’s talk about another thing. It was a happy event to say that the former Kanto governor Ken Uesugi gave birth to another fat boy.

Different from the parallel time and space, Teruhora Uesugi won a complete victory in the battle of Kanto for the first time. Not only did he surrender the Hojo clan, he also almost suppressed the heroes of Kanto.

This also resulted in Teruhora Uesugi not having to leave Kenmasa Uesugi in Furukawa to show his presence as he did in history.

This makes the situation of our former leader much better than in history. As one of the conditions attached to the transfer of the position of leader and the name of the Uesugi family, Ueno Kazukuni as the imperial pension has become a reality.

Naturally, the Ueno territory of more than 50,000 guan was not handed over to Uesugi Kenmasa for personal management. The actual territory was still managed by Nagano Yamasa, Amanza Keamochi and others. What he received was actually 20,000 guan of money and rice a year.

This not only allowed the horse warriors such as Oishi Tsunamoto and Kuragano Naoyuki who followed him to Echigo to receive stable salaries, but also made Uesugi Kenmasa himself well-off, able to eat well, drink well, and even make friends widely.

In addition, Odatefuchu Castle, which was originally guarded by Echigo, died without heirs due to the death of the original owner Uesugi Sadami. This city also benefited Uesugi Kenmasa and became his imperial palace.

Although his power was almost gone, except for the three-acre land in Odatefuchu Castle and the dozens of samurai who followed him to obey him, Uesugi Kenmasa could not command anyone. But life has really changed a lot. It is completely impossible to be worried. All you need to do is eat, drink, and sleep.

In addition, Uesugi Kenmasa was already fertile and had already given birth to three sons when he was in his twenties. Now that all three sons have been killed by the traitor Hojo Ujiyasu, since they are not yet old, they must work hard while they are young. They have to inherit the territory of 50,000 kan.

Just like in history, Kensei Uesugi was not good at fighting, but he was perfectly capable of having children, not long after he went to Echigo. He has successfully created a human being, surrounded by more than a dozen concubines. Not only did they not hollow him out, they also made him become more and more courageous as he fought. I gave birth to another son this summer.

Originally, this was nothing, at most it counted Sugi Teruhu's many younger brothers. Moreover, he is a younger brother who will most likely not be reused. The worst thing he can do is to let him eat at home and wait to die.

But Kenmasa Uesugi was having such a smooth life that he continued to exert force during the bed wrestling tournament. He gave birth to another daughter, a fair and tender little girl.

This means that Uesugi Teruotora, who originally had no daughter, got a ready-made daughter (sister). Uesugi Kenmasa's is Uesugi Teruotora's. This is not what was agreed upon at the beginning.

Kenmasa Uesugi's family name and service position all belonged to Terutora Uesugi, so he wouldn't care about a little daughter who was a concubine.

For Terutora Uesugi, this was like a big pie falling from the sky. This daughter was known as the daughter of a Kanto leader, so she would be a good match for anyone she married.

…

Back in the mountains, Mrs. Nagao, the daughter of the Wu family, is not a weak and weak little girl. In fact, she is also a knowledgeable woman. It was just that her former husband, Yamauchi Yoshikatsu, was so brilliant that she completely relied on his back.

Now she is the mother of the head of the Yamauchi family and the daughter in charge of the Uesugi family. As long as she is willing, there will definitely be a place for her in the Yamauchi family's speech box.

However, seeing how Mrs. Nagao looks now, she still focuses on raising Taro Yamauchi and doesn't insist on anything else. Not to mention standing up to fight for power or making some conspiracies.

"Otate-chan has a daughter. I can take her and raise her under my knees. When Taro grows up, she will be a good match for her." Terutora Uesugi returned the child to his mother and asked in a slightly questioning tone.

"If Yu Lin were still here, he would definitely agree, but now His Highness the Prime Minister's thoughts are hard to fathom."

After all, Mrs. Nagao is the pillow of Yamauchi Yoshikatsu, and she knows Yamauchi Yoshikatsu's thoughts clearly. If it were the daughter of the Uesugi family, Yamauchi Yoshikatsu would definitely agree to the marriage. Kissing each other, this is the best thing.

But now Yamauchi Yoshiharu's attitude is very vague. If Yamauchi Taro and the Uesugi family's daughter get engaged, it may not be a good thing at this time of wavering.

"Please add more twists and turns, but don't be too deliberate. The Uesugi family's daughter has no worries about getting married."

Terutora Uesugi naturally had some thoughts. Although it was completely impossible to turn the Yamauchi family into a vassal daimyo, it was his wish to tightly tie the Yamauchi family to the Uesugi family's chariot.

"I know, I will try my best." Mrs. Nagao touched Taro Yamauchi's little head.

The weather was hot, and the room was a bit stuffy in the afternoon. Taro Yamauchi felt so sleepy that he couldn't even open his little eyes. Little did he know that his mother and his uncle were talking about his future life events.

…

"Xiaoheita, Kainyu, come here." Yamauchi Yoshiharu took a letter from the bookshelf and handed it to the two of them.

Kobayata didn't reach out to take it first, but let her elder brother-in-law Hosokawa Sainori take it and read it first.

Hosokawa Sainori seemed to have noticed Kobayata's deliberate courtesy, but didn't say anything and took the letter normally. Then she bowed her head to Yamauchi Yoshiharu, then slowly unfolded the letter and read it word by word.

Not long after, Hosokawa Sainori finished reading it, and he held one side of the letter with both hands and handed it to Kobayata.

Kobayata also took it with both hands, first glanced at it with his eyes, and looked up to see that it was his father. There was no need to think about it, it must be a letter from Hosokawa Fujitaka. Although Kobayata can call Yamauchi Yoshiharu like this in the future, it is not possible now that they have not yet consummated their marriage.

Looking at the content again, one is that Ashikaga Yoshiteru's sister Shiki was sent to Wakae Castle. It is considered to be officially betrothed to Miyoshi Yoshitsugu, and Miyoshi Yoshitsugu also became the son-in-law of the Ashikaga Shogun family.

Naturally, Miyoshi Yoshitsugu also preferred Ashikaga Yoshiaki to succeed the shogun. His elder brother-in-law must be better than others as the shogun.

This is an inherent reason.

Another thing is that Ashikaga Yoshiteru's youngest daughter escaped that night, although she was already six years old.

But a girl who is three years older than her husband is rich, and the wealth should not be lost to outsiders.
