Shimazu Takahisa's death reminded Masarara of the two whom he had met in the past and Tachibana Xue.

After being defeated by the Luo family, Mrs. Bai Mei of the Podo family was driven out of the Hokki country and fled to Iki Island by the army. Some powerful retainers tried to marry her while their power was weak, thus seizing the dominant position of the Podo family. Faced with such a coercion, Mrs. Bai Mei directly fought by suicide, which was a kind of struggle between the fierce women of the Warring States Period.

The death of the loyal ministers to the Otomo family was a kind of loyalty death. The death of the Hotomo family was expressed by the loyalty and righteousness of the Hotomo family. However, in Masarara's view, this was another death of foolish loyalty. At least the suicide of the Hotomo family represented that the surrender of some of the Luo family's retainers were greatly hit. Moreover, the Hotomo family also left a young daughter. In order to appease the remaining officials of the Otomo family who had just surrendered to the Luo family, Masarara had to forcibly named the daughter of Takaha Chiyo, Takaha Chiyo, and designated him to inherit the territory of the Takaha family in the former state of Takaha and become the governor of the Takaha family (now this famous historical female general who was born early due to the appearance of Masarara, is a member of the Ghost Hitomo team of Masarara's daughter Miki).

However, the suicides of the above two people are different from those of Shimazu Takaku, especially Shimazu Takaku's father Shimazu Tadaroya, who was also appointed as hostage by Masaru, actually committed suicide in the evening of that day after reading Shimazu Takaku's body and suicide note. The contents of the suicide note left are almost the same as Shimazu Takaku.

Such a strange behavior. How could it not make Zhengliang feel suspicious?

"So, what are these two people planning to do?"

"As a result, everyone from Shimazu family fought against the Luo family? Judging from the suicide notes of these two people and their previous actions, it is obvious that the other party did not intend to do so. He even intends to avoid conflicts with the Luo family."

In fact, Masara didn't know that it was precisely because of Shimazu Takaha's series of decisions and surrender to the Roh family that the Shimazu family was dissatisfied with this, and then a crack appeared in the Shimazu family. In order for Shimazu Yoshiki and others to successfully take charge of the entire family, Shimazu family would rather commit suicide to vent their dissatisfaction with him in the hearts of the Shimazu family, and at the same time unify the determination of the Shimazu family to avoid Masara looking for opportunities to split the Shimazu family in the future. Suicide can also avoid being used by the Roh family as a tool to control the Shimazu family because they were hostages of the Roh family. In addition, Shimazu Takaha and Shimazu Tadaroya have deeper purposes. However, this was analyzed by Masara:

"Is it a way to increase the hatred of the Shimazu family against the Luo family in their hearts? Oh, it doesn't matter. Anyway, the hatred of the other party will inevitably be short, and the success and the king will succeed and defeat the enemy. As long as the Luo family continues to be strong, there will naturally be some people in the other party's family who realize that the strength of the Luo family is inevitable. Sooner or later, someone will approach the Luo family."

"But I always feel that the death of these two people is not just that."

"By the way, the suicide notes of these two people said that they were buried near the Soji Temple in the Satsumashimazu family after they died. Haha, so that's it. Now I understand their intentions. It's really cruel."

As long as they are buried in Satsuma, no matter how far away the Shimazu family is from the Mikushu area, the tombstones of these two people will be erected in the hearts of these people like a stone tablet, which not only unifies the minds of these people, but also makes these people always have the minds of returning to Mikushu.

The most hateful thing is that these two people still use their deaths to force Zhengliang to agree to the request in their suicide note. Otherwise, once Zhengliang refuses, it will give the world a sense of cruelty and unfaithfulness (although these two people committed suicide and did not become hostages of the Luo family according to the agreement, they were dead after all. Who would be willing to die at will? So whether their deaths naturally win the sympathy of the world is a substitute for the implementation of the two hostage agreements). Influencing the reputation and credibility of the Luo family (don't underestimate these two things, they can enable the Luo family to negotiate and form alliances with other forces more smoothly, attract more famous generals, ronin and the people, and can stand on the side of the righteousness and actively launch an invasion of the person, etc.).

"It's really hateful!"

After realizing this problem, Masayoro couldn't help but frown and said to himself. This time he really gave Shimazu Takaku a trick. He never expected Shimazu Takaku to commit suicide. Originally, he sent Shimazu Takaku back to Shimazu's territory to allow Shimazu's family to evacuate from the Minami Kyushu area with greater peace of mind and move to Shikoku area. Unexpectedly, Shimazu Takaku now gave him such trouble.

However, Masara is not a vegetarian. He responded quickly. In order to prevent the Shimazu family from causing some trouble for him even when they arrived in the Shikoku region, Masara decided to promote Shimazu Yoshihiro who had followed him for many years to become the governor of Shimazu Yoshihiro. As for Shimazu Yoshihiro, who had just taken office, Masara decided to promote Shimazu Yoshihiro to the position of governor of Shimazu Yoshihiro.

Haha, Shimazu Takaku, didn’t Shimazu Tadaroyashi force me to let you be buried in Satsuma in the name of Dayi? Then I will also send your legitimate son to mourn you in the name of Dayi. Not only that, Shimazu Takaku’s other families and important retainers of the Shimazu family who were willing to follow the Shimazu family to transfer to Shikoku region, some of their tribesmen and families would also move to Satsuma to mourn (actually, they are here to be hostages).

As for whether it will trigger the resistance of the Shimazu family? This is consistent with Masaru's intention! Now they have begun to transfer the ban, and their military power and retainers have been divided into the Mian Kyushu and Shikoku region. If they are willing to break the agreement with the Luo family in violation of justice, Masaru will be happy to take the opportunity to directly destroy the Shimazu family.

However, Masaru's attempt was obviously going to fail. Shimazu Yoshihisa seemed to see Masaru's intentions, and actually suppressed the dissatisfaction of the Shimazu family and agreed to Masaru's request very alone.

"No wonder Shimazu family has survived for so long." Masara, who received this reply, could only sigh helplessly.

Although Masaru seemed to have given up and took a little advantage, Masaru still suffered a loss. After all, he could not stop Shimazu Kiku and Shimazu Tadaru from being buried in the Satsuma area, thus unifying his thoughts for the Shimazu family and setting goals. What's more, since it is "filial piety", there is naturally a limit of time. If Masaru can't think of other ways to keep Shimazu Yoshiki and Shimazu Tadaru, they will still leave. However, Masaru had already planned to give up this matter temporarily and leave it to consider in the future. Now he is preparing to go to Kiyomizu Castle in person to participate in the funeral between Shimazu Kiku and Shimazu Tadaru.

Since these two mice used death to plot against Zhengliang, Zhengliang also planned to pretend to be a cat and go to their spiritual plane to pretend to be compassionate, in order to add a little fame to himself.

In the second year of Yonglu, mid-August.

At this time, cherry blossoms were in full bloom in the Shoushan Temple near Kiyomizu Castle, Satsuma Kingdom. Shimazu Yoshihiro passed by the cherry blossom tree with great concern. He was already worried enough by his brother and the lord Zhengliang who was suddenly promoted to the position of governor of the Shimazu family. Now the lord is still preparing to come to worship his father and grandfather today. With the current attitude of the retainers in the family towards the lord, he is really worried that something might happen.

At this time, the Shimazu family members had gathered in the main hall. Shimazu Yoshihiro nervously twisted the hand bead and was taken to the main position. As for the main position, it was naturally left to Masarara, the governor of the Luo family, who was nominally already the Shimazu family.

The little monk from Shoushan Temple lit incense candles and incense. Soon, the abbot came out, and behind him were monks gathered from all over the place. There were more than 400 people. Solemn chanting of scriptures rang out in the spacious main hall, which was crowded with people.

At this time, Masara was wearing a black suit and a famous sword with a famous sword on his waist. Shimazu Yoshihiro, wearing a brand new mourning suit, immediately greeted Masara respectfully. After Masara returned the gift, he did not speak, but sat directly on the main seat.

Today, he actually didn't need to speak at all, just coming to the scene was enough. Although most of the Shimazu family's retainers were naturally very dissatisfied when they saw him, the attitude Masaru showed at this time might also make some of them feel about Masaru. This is the first step to split the Shimazu family.

Moreover, as today's incident happened, Masara and the Luo family represented by him will be praised and recognized by the people in the territory of the territory of the Namikyushu, especially the people in the territory of the Harashimazu family, which provides certain help to the Luo family accepting the Nankyushu area, and further enhances the reputation of Masarara himself and the Luo family.

At this time, a monk stood up to Zhengliang's side and said, "Please ask Dazai Shi, the repair doctor, and the subject of the Kyushu, the Duke of Zhengliang, burn incense."

As the monk finished speaking, Masara suddenly felt several murderous eyes coming from behind, but Masara was expressionless. Anyway, the guards of the temple were all from the Luo family at this time, and no one who attended the funeral was allowed to carry weapons except Masara. In this case, even if the Shimazu family retainers besieged Masara, Masara could use the ghost cut at his waist and his own martial arts to kill these people seven in seven out.

After slowly approaching the front of the spiritual throne, Masara stood there holding a handful of incense in his hand, looking at the spiritual throne of Shimazu Takaha and Shimazu Tadaroyaki with his eyes fixedly, and couldn't help but sneer in his heart: "Two, please watch it. The Shimazu family will sooner or later completely surrender to the Luo family."
