Chapter 603 9. Adopting Tamako's Surname Oda

I dug the pit, I planted the fruit, but the flowers were picked by others?

We arranged such a wonderful sunset meeting, and gave the handkerchief to keep the love. How beautiful! How pure!

All my sincerity was betrayed!

"Your family has a relationship with the nobles of the palace, which is really enviable!" Although Niwa Nagahide is now the political central minister of Oda Nobunaga, to put it bluntly, he is still a country samurai, and he has a considerable yearning for the once high and mighty court.

"It's just a matter of time..."

"I don't know how beautiful Princess Ibuki will be!"

"Okay, okay, Goroza, it's not you who married the princess of the public family. When will His Highness Gifu come back?" Xiaoping didn't want to talk about this anymore.

Such a white and tender piglet was lost unexpectedly. You would be angry if you were me!

Although we are not fathers, we are brothers! The good little sister, jumping around at home, her silver bell-like laughter is still in my ears, and she has already married without Xiao Pingtai knowing anything!

"Your Highness has been away for five or six days, the wedding should be over by now, and you are coming back."

"You have been away for five or six days?" Then the rice has indeed been cooked, and it may not even be cooked, it may have been made into rice cakes.

After being stabbed several times by Niwa Nagahide, Xiao Pingtai did not want to stay in the city any longer. Let Niwa Nagahide pay attention, if Oda Nobunaga comes back, notify him and help him arrange a meeting.

The matter is done, anyway, the little white pig was originally arranged for Yamanouchi Yoshiyasu. Now it is just temporarily out of Xiao Pingtai's control. In the future, the young couple will always live in Fuchū Castle and have the opportunity to exert influence.

However, Oda Nobunaga helped the Yamanouchi family and the nobles to facilitate a marriage, which is considered to be another favor for the Yamanouchi family. How can I refuse him at this moment?

Before this, it was easy to ask. Now that the marriage is done, Xiao Pingtai doesn't know how to ask. Nobunaga paid a full 500 kan in cash to help Yamanouchi Yoshiyasu marry a wife. Wouldn't the Yamanouchi family accept his kindness?

We need to think about it carefully!

As Niwa Nagahide expected, Oda Nobunaga and his party returned to Gifu in style at noon the next day. And even Yamanouchi Shukei and Yamanouchi Yoshiyasu and his wife were there. They were invited by Oda Nobunaga to visit Gifu Castle.

After Oda Nobunaga conquered Inabayama Castle, Inabayama Castle was damaged a lot in the war, and Nobunaga also wanted to erase the traces of his former master Saito Tatsuoki, so he rebuilt Gifu Castle on a large scale.

Especially the castle tower on the hillside, with five layers of double eaves, the outer wall is painted with the fine shell gray produced by the Yamanouchi family in Totomi. The whole castle tower shows a white figure in the sun, majestic and magnificent.

The price is not cheap.

If you need money everywhere, do you think Oda Nobunaga is eager for money? Is he eager for the prosperity of Obama Tsuruga?

After learning that Kobayata also came to Gifu and lived in Fujikichiro's house. Nobunaga also arranged for the uncle and nephew of Yamauchi to live in Fujikichiro's house, which surprised Yamauchi Shukei why Kobayata came to Gifu.

"This matter cannot be agreed to! Asai is a small country!" After listening to Kobayata's narration, Yamauchi Shukei's first reaction was to refuse.

Sure enough, the reaction of other Yamauchi retainers was the same. The Yamauchi family only had this one legitimate daughter. Not to mention the status of the Yamauchi family's Mashu high family, the status of the Seiwa Genji Ashikaga family. Just say that Yamauchi Yoshikatsu passed away and Yamauchi Taro was still young. This is a non-renewable resource in a short period of time. How could it be betrothed to Asai Nagamasa just because of Nobunaga's words?

"It just so happens that the former Emperor Yulin and the Hosokawa Hyobu are engaged."

"Who am I engaged to?" Unexpectedly, Hosokawa Fujitaka actually walked in from outside.

"Hyobu?" Koyata turned back and was stunned.

Hosokawa Fujitaka was ordered to send Yamauchi Yoshiyasu back to his country this time. Who told him that the matchmaker was theoretically Ashikaga Yoshiakiyasu. Good people should be good to the end and send Buddha to the west.

"Hahahaha, Koyata, tell me who I am engaged to?"

"Is the former Emperor Yulin engaged to the Hyobu?"

"Oh~~ That's the case! Yes! But wasn't Taro born at that time?" Hosokawa Fujitaka thought about it for a while.

"Now, His Majesty Gifu is arranging for the Asai family to betroth the little princess to Asai Manpukumaru! We believe that the Hyobu and His Majesty the Imperial Guards have made an engagement before, so we should keep our promise!"

"Well... since His Majesty Gifu has arranged it..."

"So the princess of the Yamanouchi family has long been betrothed to the Hyobu!" Several people were chatting, but they never thought that Oda Nobunaga was standing on the porch at the door.

"Greetings, His Majesty Gifu!" Everyone, including Kobayata, immediately bowed and let Oda Nobunaga in.

"If I remember correctly, your princess is the posthumous child of the former Imperial Guards..."

The implication is very clear. How could it be confirmed in advance that the child was a daughter when she was not born at that time, and then she was betrothed to Hosokawa Fujitaka by name.

"This... the former lord arranged the marriage, and if it is for the princess, then the marriage will be arranged!" Kobayata had to bite the bullet and answer.

"Arranged marriage?" Nobunaga's face was a little amused.

"The Ministry of War is sure that Xian Yulin is engaged to you? Don't make a mistake..." Turning to look at Hosokawa Fujitaka, Nobunaga not only revealed a hint of coercion in his tone, but also his eyes were much sharper.

"It is true that there is an engagement, but at that time it referred to the dismounting hall." Hosokawa Fujitaka could only answer truthfully

"Hahahahaha, since both are boys, then they can't get married!" Nobunaga clapped his hands with his folding fan, stood up, and strode out.

Everyone turned around and looked outside. Outside were Mori Kanonari, Niwa Nagahide, Kanamori Nagachika, Hachiya Yoritaka, and Akechi Mitsuhide, who came with Oda Nobunaga.

"Jubei! How old is your daughter!" Nobunaga glanced around and pointed with the folding fan in his hand.

"My little daughter Tamako is seven years old this year." Akechi Mitsuhide answered immediately.

"Okay! I will adopt Tamako now, and I will marry her to the Ministry of War as the legitimate daughter of Anou!"

Wow!

Everyone was shocked!

"Doesn't the Ministry of War want to marry my Oda family's daughter?"

"Yes, yes, I will thank His Highness Gifu for his kindness on behalf of Senkumaru!"

A marriage was thus decided, Akechi Tamako became Oda Tamako, and Oda Tamako was betrothed to Hosokawa Senkumaru.

Let's see what excuses your Yamanouchi family can use to perfunctorily deal with me!

Nobunaga turned around and looked down at the three Yamanouchi clan members in front of him with a smile. Excluding Yamanouchi Yoshiyasu, he was actually looking at Yamanouchi Shukei and Koheita.

"Congratulations to the Ministry of War for marrying His Majesty Gifu!" Kobayata's mind was in turmoil, but on the surface he still congratulated Hosokawa Fujitaka and delayed time.

"Manpukumaru is my nephew, is he not worthy of the daughter of the Shima family?"

It seemed casual, but Nobunaga's words were close to interrogation, or even coercion.

What should I do, what should I do, should I just agree to it!
