Chapter 126
"yes!"
Hagoromo Masakata accepted the order and disappeared into the house instantly.
"Okay, go to sleep."
Seeing Hagoromo Masakata leaving, Hagoromo Qianhan yawned and returned to his room.
As for Shan Teye, this happened suddenly in the middle of the night, and he couldn't sleep anyway.
Early the next morning, a piece of news suddenly spread throughout Yuan Shou City.
The family of Murakami Yamada, the Minister of Public Security under Tanaka Daimyo, was actually killed last night!
Chapter 171 Heir
Daming Mansion.
Since the death of his only son, Ming Chun, Tanaka Daimyo has become visibly more and more haggard day by day.
The ministers who originally guarded the city also understood this. After all, if all their sons were dead, wouldn't it mean that the inheritance they had worked hard for had no heirs?
Seeing that Daimyo Tanaka, who was sitting at the top, had been silent, the ministers below wanted to speak several times, but looking at Daimyo Tanaka's haggard state, no one spoke in the end.
I don't know how much time passed before Tanaka Daimyo held his head and said leisurely: "You must all know about the matter of Minister Murakami Tani."
The ministers looked at each other, and then nodded in unison: "Yes, Lord Daimyo, we all already know."
Daimyo Tanaka glanced at the ministers: "I sent people to kill them."
What?
When Tanaka Daimyo finished speaking, all the ministers were immediately stunned.
Daimyo, what did you just say? We didn't hear it clearly. Can you say it again?
Seeing everyone fell into silence, Tanaka Daimyo spoke again: "I sent people to kill Murakami Valley."
At this time, the ministers below finally came to their senses: "Lord Daimyo, Minister Murakami, did he make any mistakes?"
The ministers directly raised the questions in their minds.
Although you are a daimyo, you can't just kill the ministers under your command.
Tanaka Daimyo's tone was calm, as if there was no emotion at all: "My son has made all mistakes, and now only my youngest daughter Asuka is by my side.
Seeing that I had no heir, this guy in the Valley of the Murakami actually had some unwanted thoughts. He sent ninjas to assassinate me last night in order to seek power and usurp the throne! "
At this point, Tanaka Daimyo suddenly stopped talking and glanced at the ministers below with cold eyes.
The ministers who were glanced at by Tanaka Daimyo all lowered their heads. As for how many of them were in awe and how many of them were guilty, it was unknown.
After about five or six seconds, Tanaka Daimyo continued: "I know that Murakami Valley has contacted some of you during this period.
Some of you, whether you want to benefit from it or you sincerely support Murakami, now that Murakami is dead, I will not hold you accountable. "
When Tanaka Daimyo finished speaking, although none of the ministers below responded, from a mental state, it was obvious that several of them relaxed a lot instantly.
And these people are undoubtedly the ministers that Murakami Valley has contacted.
Ignoring the reactions of the ministers, Tanaka Daimyo took a deep breath and looked at everyone seriously.
"Everyone, I am old and all my sons are dead. This is an indisputable fact. In order to avoid turmoil in the original city, I have decided to establish a successor now."
Before the ministers could react, Tanaka Daimyo announced: "My only relatives now are my daughter Asuka and my nephew Tetsuo Yamama.
Therefore, in order to prevent the daimyo position from falling into the hands of outsiders, I decided to betroth Princess Asuka to Minister Yama Tetsuno, and at the same time establish Yama Tetsuno as the heir.
From today on, Minister Yama Tetsuno will also serve as Minister of Military Affairs. In addition, I will also schedule the wedding of the two to be held in half a month. What do you think? "
After the words fell, there was silence in the hall for two or three seconds. Immediately afterwards, five of the ministers bowed their heads and bowed: "Daiming Hideaki, we fully support your decision!"
These ministers who agreed are undoubtedly those who have been contacted by Murakami Valley. Just now Tanaka Daimyo said that he will not pursue the matter anymore. It is obvious that he is waiting for them here.
If they don't support the daimyo's decision, then the daimyo will have to deal with them for colluding in rebellion.
They are not stupid. Since the Daimyo gave them a chance to live, how could they not cherish it?
Therefore, these ministers supported the daimyo's proposal without hesitation.
After all, in their view, politics is all about compromise and exchange.
The daimyo let them go, and they fully supported the daimyo's decision. There was nothing wrong with that.
Afterwards, other ministers agreed upon seeing this.
You know, now half of the ministers in the hall have agreed, plus the daimyo's proposal. If they still disagree, wouldn't they be looking for trouble? Only fools would do this.
“Since everyone has no objections, let’s leave;
Come on, I'm tired. "
After finishing speaking, Tanaka Daimyo walked out of the hall with a tired look and walked towards his house.
Hagoromo Qianhan followed at the same time. In the eyes of the ministers, he was the newly hired bodyguard of Tanaka Daimyo, who was to protect the Daimyo at close range.
In addition, he also needs to strengthen his illusion control over Tanaka Daimyo.
At this time, the plan to replace the daimyo has reached the mid-to-late stage, but no accidents can happen at this time.
In this way, the death of Murakami Valley, the Minister of Public Security, directly caused earth-shaking changes in the rule of the original defender.
Tanaka Daimyo made his distant nephew Yama Tetsuno his heir, and at the same time betrothed his youngest daughter Princess Asuka to Yama Tetsuno. All the ministers also expressed their support for this.
People who heard the news also expressed their gratitude for Shan Che Ye's good luck.
It is clear that the other party is just a distant nephew of the daimyo, but suddenly he is going to marry Princess Asuka and inherit the position of the daimyo at the same time. This mountain Tetsuno is really a lucky man.
However, these ordinary people who think that Yama Tetsuno is a lucky man will never know that Yama Tetsuno can inherit the position of daimyo. This is completely a power calculation.
Although there may be an element of luck involved, this luck is nothing compared to calculation.
After the meeting held by the daimyo, the five ministers who had been contacted by Murakami Valley immediately contacted Yama Tetsuno and expressed their loyalty.
These five ministers, who were originally the most unstable, have now become Shan Teye's strongest supporters.
Although it is not known how true or false their loyalty is, there is no doubt that they are far more useful than the other five ministers at this time.
With the support of these five ministers and the daimyo, in less than half a day, Yama Tetsuno took control of all the troops under the Tanaka daimyo.
Although these armies are only composed of ordinary people, the vast majority of people in this world are also ordinary people, and those who work and produce are also ordinary people.
Therefore, this army composed of ordinary people played a vital role in maintaining the rule of the daimyo.
Chapter 172 Inoue Daimyo
"That, that..." Princess Asuka looked at Yamato Tetsuo with a shy face.
Although getting along with her during this period of time did make her have some affection for Shan Teye, but now she was asked to marry Shan Teye all of a sudden, which made her really at a loss.
Looking at the woman in front of him, Shan Cheye took a deep breath and replied with a serious face: "Xiangxiang, I will definitely treat you well!"
Only her father had called her Xiangxiang, and now she was suddenly called out by Yamato Tetsuo, which made Princess Asuka even more shy.
"I, I believe you..." Princess Asuka responded in a low voice with a blushing face and a voice like a mosquito.
Since ancient times, the orders of parents, the words of matchmakers, and the daughters of daimyo have basically been used for marriage.
The partner of this marriage may be another daimyo, or it may be a minister under her own command. Princess Asuka has long been prepared for such a fate.
But now, she is lucky enough to be able to marry the person she likes, so what else can she be dissatisfied with.
Although she has not yet reached the point where she likes Shan Teye very much, as long as she has some liking, that is enough. This is better than marrying someone she hates.
Seeing that Princess Asuka agreed, Yamato Tetsuo suddenly showed a happy expression, and at the same time tried to put Princess Asuka into his arms, and the two hugged each other.
Time passed slowly, and half a month passed quickly.
In the past ten days, with the support of Tanaka Daimyo and the firm support of the five ministers, and the other five ministers did not cause any trouble, Shan Tetsuo has basically mastered all the rights within the original defender's sphere of influence.
At this time, Cheye on the mountain did not have a great name, but he already had a great name.
The day after tomorrow is the day when Yama Tetsuno and Princess Asuka get married. As long as the wedding is completed, Yama Tetsuno will inherit the position of daimyo.
"Cheye, are you sure who to invite to the wedding?"
In a room, Hagoromo Qianhan and three others were sitting together.
Shan Teye nodded: "Yes, young patriarch, the wedding the day after tomorrow, in addition to the ministers and big businessmen within the original defender's sphere of influence, will be a banquet for the Inoue daimyo to the west.
Because the Inoue Daimyo married the eldest daughter of the Tanaka Daimyo;
Son, so they will come too.
Apart from that, there is no one else. "
"Inoue Daimyo?" Hagoromo Chihan asked in confusion: "What is the relationship between this guy and Inoue Valley?"
Shan Teye shook his head: "It doesn't matter, it's just that they happen to have the same surname."
"That's good."
Hagoromo Qianhan turned to ask: "Are you sure anyone will bring ninjas here now?"
This is a very serious question. You must know that Tanaka Daimyo is now controlled by Hagoromo Chihan using genjutsu.
During this period of time, except for Princess Asuka and the ministers, Tanaka Daimyo basically didn't see anyone else, so naturally there was no problem.
But the wedding the day after tomorrow is different. As Asuka's father, Daimyo Tanaka must attend in public. During this period, if any ninja discovers that Daimyo Tanaka has used illusions, it will be troublesome.
Therefore, before the wedding can be held, Hagoromo Qianhan must resolve all hidden dangers.
After this period of training, Shan Teye has grown a lot compared to before.
Therefore, faced with Hagoromo Qianhan's question, Yamato Tetsuya answered without hesitation.
"The ministers and businessmen in the city will not bring ninjas here. Only businessmen from other towns outside the city will choose to lead ninja guards for their own safety.
However, the ninja guards brought by these businessmen are basically chunin and genin, and these ninjas will not attend the wedding, so there is nothing to worry about.
The only thing we need to pay attention to is the Daimyo Inoue from the west. When he comes to attend the wedding, he must lead a Jonin-level bodyguard. We just don't know which ninja clan he will hire to act as a bodyguard. "
After listening to Shan Teye's words, Hagoromo Qianhan nodded: "Okay, I understand, when will they arrive?"
"Back to the Young Patriarch, according to the messenger, Inoue Daimyo and Asuka's sister will set off this morning, and the time to arrive at the Hara Shou Castle should be around three o'clock this afternoon."
