Chapter 2131 The Angry Saint

Things have come to this point and no one can escape responsibility. Hosokawa Fujitaka, Kai-kun, Uesugi Kagetora, Sanada Rin, and Matsukami Sae have also written letters to apologize.

Before the two big bosses of the confidentiality group reported it, Yiyin basically knew what had happened.

  But the key is, what should we do after we know it?

The Confidentiality Group is an intelligence agency whose main purpose is to conduct external espionage. Yiyin does not expect them to investigate the case.

Even if they were allowed to investigate and use the methods used by the Iga clan, most of the innocent people would not be able to withstand the torture and would bow their heads and take the blame, thus not getting the truth that Yigin wanted to know.

Normally, this matter should be investigated by the secret censor, but Yoshigane has some opinions about Yagyu Munenori.

It’s not that Yagyu Munenori is unfaithful, but that she knows how to behave and is too stable.

In order to extract some truth from Yagyu Munenori about the dispute between gods and Buddhas, Yiyin gave him many benefits, and also understood Yagyu Munenori's ability to play dumb.

Although Yagyu Munenori is usually smart and capable, he will become stupid once he is involved in the core political storm.

As the ancients said, it is rare to be confused. Yagyu Munenori is such a smart confused person.

Yiyin was worried that Yagyu Munenori, a smart man, would also hold back this time.

The ruler of the world has always been a solitary man, and he cannot expect everyone to be honest and open-minded to him. This is what is called "it's lonely at the top".

Whenever this happens, only one candidate comes to Yiyin's mind, Takada Yukino.

Yiyin sighed.

"Tell Takada Yukino to come to Tamonyama Castle to see me immediately. Yes, it's okay to walk slowly on the way. Tell her to take care of herself."

Matsukami Sae bowed slightly and recorded it, her heart trembling slightly.

Takada Battousai and her Mibu Wolf... Is the Saint going to let them investigate this matter? When I think of Takada Yukino's great reputation, what if the truth is discovered...

Matsue Sae couldn't help but feel panic in her heart, but Yoshigane's attention had already turned to Ii Naomasa and asked.

"How's the war going on the peninsula?"

Naomasa Ii bowed.

"An army marched out from Tsushima Island, landed at Busan, and overwhelmed the local garrison in one fell swoop.

The king of the peninsula urgently dispatched the Northern Army to join the war. The famous general Shen La went south, but still could not resist the attack of an army.

Shin La was killed in the battle, the capital fell, the ruler and his ministers of the peninsula fled north to Yiju, seven of the eight provinces of the peninsula fell, and only Pyeongan Province was still in the hands of the peninsula army.

If nothing unexpected happened, the rulers and ministers of the peninsula should have asked the Celestial Empire for help.

After all, the peninsula is a vassal state of the Celestial Empire. Hideyoshi Ichijo’s landing on the peninsula this time is ambitious and is also aimed at the Celestial Empire. The Celestial Empire will not ignore it.”

Yiyin shook his head. He did not expect that the Peninsula Army would be so vulnerable.

Shen La was a famous general on the peninsula. He had been stationed in the north and cooperated with the Liaodong Army of the Ming Dynasty to suppress and weaken the Jurchen forces many times.

The peninsula's terrain is fields in the south and mountains in the north. The economic core is in the plains in the south, and the mountainous areas in the north are used to prevent foreign invasion.

Since the Tang Dynasty, when the island country was defeated by the Celestial Empire, there has been no large-scale invasion of the peninsula.

Over the past thousand years, the rulers and ministers of the peninsula have formed a system in which the south develops the economy and the north is responsible for national defense.

This time, Hideyoshi Ichijo landed on the peninsula and set out from Busan, defeating the peninsula army in one fell swoop. This was also because although the economy in the southern part of the peninsula was developed, the military was corrupt.

Now, the Northern Army, the only army with some combat effectiveness on the peninsula, was annihilated because of its eagerness to move south. The rulers and ministers of the peninsula no longer have the ability to resist and can only seek help from the Celestial Empire.

Just as Ii Naomasa said, the Celestial Empire would never abandon the ruler and his subjects on the peninsula.

This is not only because the peninsula is a vassal state of the Celestial Empire, but also because of the peninsula's topographical characteristics. The economically developed areas in the southern part of the peninsula, that is, the plains, are mainly concentrated in the southwestern Seoul area.

Seoul is located on the east side of the Bohai Bay, and is far away from the Shandong Peninsula, Liaodong Peninsula, and Tianjin, while Tianjin is very close to the capital of the Celestial Empire, BJ.

The Celestial Empire would never allow the rulers of the Japanese pirates' hometown to occupy Seoul, covet the Bohai Bay, and threaten the Celestial Empire's nearby areas.

It is imperative to assist the island countries and fight against the epidemic.

Yiyin sighed. He had not expected that the situation would deteriorate so quickly. The peninsula's vulnerability was beyond his expectations.

But Ii Naomasa had not yet finished his words, and the next few words caused Yoshigin's face to change drastically.

I only heard Ii Naomasa say.

"Saint, because of the successive victories of a certain army, some discussions have arisen in the family.

Some people believe that the Sasaki family should cooperate with the Ichijo family and participate in the war so that they can share the land and benefits of the peninsula after the war. "

Yiyin narrowed his eyes, and a murderous intent arose in his heart.

The island nation's samurai were indeed fierce and ruthless. After seeing Hideyoshi Ichijo's great achievements, some of Shiba's subordinates were tempted.

They are so eager to covet the land of the peninsula that they are willing to take advantage of the tiger and seek further cooperation with the Ichijo family. This is something that Yiyin cannot tolerate.

Yoshigin's original intention of condoning Ichijo Hideyoshi was to make Hideyoshi a trouble to the Celestial Empire so that he could stab Hideyoshi in the back and get bargaining chips to make peace with the Celestial Empire.

He thought he was a Celestial Empire citizen, and was thinking about how to make the Sōma family rule the island nation for generations and make the islanders forever be dogs of the Celestial Empire.

  But if he is coerced by the island country's military family and becomes an accomplice in invading the peninsula and harming the Celestial Empire, he will not be able to face the ancestors of the Celestial Empire!

So when he heard that the samurai under Sōma wanted to further cooperate with the Ichijo family, Yoshigin already had murderous intent in his heart, and he was determined to nip this bad trend in the bud.

Yiyin asked coldly.

"Who is it? Who wants to collude with the Ichijo family and threaten the rule of my Shiba family?"

Yoshigane's words were so serious that both Ii Naomasa and Matsuue Sae couldn't help but feel their hearts skip a beat.

Colluding with Ichitsu and threatening Smauga, the saint's words are too harsh. Those people just want more benefits. Cooperating with Ichitsu does not mean being disloyal to Smauga.

But in the eyes of the saints, it seems that the thieves and I are irreconcilable, and this trend has been characterized.

Ii Naomasa hesitated and said.

“I shouldn’t say anything about the deceased, but I dare not hide anything in front of the saint.

Harada Munetoki was the main advocate of the war on the peninsula in cooperation with Ichijo, and this gathering in Tobita Shinchi was actually initiated by her. "

Yiyin sneered.

"Harada Munetoki... Date Masamune was so generous that he dared to let her retainers act so recklessly in Kinki.

The head of the Tongxin Secretariat, Nono Mori, the Sanada clan's Sanada Rin, and the Uesugi Kagetora of the Uesugi family. . Good, that's great, it's really damn good, it's a good death. "

Yoshigin knew that the sickly beauty Date Masamune was never a good person, but he didn't expect that she was so unwilling to be lonely and wanted to gain some benefits on the peninsula.

Since Date Masamune is so active, Yoshigin has to find more things for her to do.

Yiyin said.

"I will pass on my imperial order, ordering the Date family to withdraw from Yonezawa and focus on the north, and the Uesugi family to move into Yonezawa.

Allow Date Masamune to keep Fukushima, Osaki, and Sendai. Since she has endless energy, she will go to the northern and southern families to compete with each other, so as not to have excess energy and wild thoughts. "
