Honda Tadao was dissatisfied with Hidepo's defense of Haruka, but he did not dare to talk back, so he asked in a quiet voice: "No matter what, as a minister, it is impossible to argue with the master's family wherever he does such a traitor. Shouldn't he be punished?"

Hidebo did not want everyone to feel that he was interested in favor of Kyuki, but considering the possible background of Kyuki, he still did not want Tadao to do things too well, so he had to give a punishment plan on his own, hoping that Tadao would accept it: "I wonder if you have heard of it. During the Eternal Reign, the Mikawa Ikki mobilized the One-Shikki mobilized the One-Shikki mobilized the One-Shikkimo, as the Ikki general, and Honda Sadomoto was against His Highness the Inner Mansion together with his younger brother Miya Saemon. A year later, the Ikki army was suppressed, and Sadomoto had no choice but to defect from Mikawa to Kinki."

"The foreign minister has indeed heard of it, but what does this have to do with what happened today?" Zhongchao looked puzzled, not knowing what medicine was sold in Xiubao's pot.

"Of course it's related," Hideopo continued, "Although he betrayed the inner palace, Sado Shuo was finally forgiven. When you return to the Tokugawa family again, you can see that the most respected retainers around the inner palace are him and Lord Tsun Tadao. Can't such a result give you some revelation?"

Hearing this, Tadao understood that Hideopo hoped that he would be like Ieyasu, to forgive Keikaku and accept him again, but Tadao was unwilling to do so. He pointed at Keikaku and said, "Your Highness, it's not that the foreign minister does not give you face, but this person is so hateful and not worthy of your doing this. Besides, if he is a good person, can be compared with Sado Shuo? I'm really sorry, the foreign minister will not accept him no matter what."

"Do you have to kill them all?" Although Xiu Bao looked worried, an undetectable smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "After all, I have served many families for seven years, so I have to be so heartless?"

Seeing that Hidepo tried so hard to plead for Kyuki, Tadao could not help but give him some face. After all, having a good relationship with him was an urgent matter for Ieyasu. There was no way, so he had to grit his teeth and make a concession: "Since His Highness the Secretariat has spoken, the foreign minister should take a step back. He and his family's orders are not ordered by the foreign minister. But from now on, he is no longer a retainer of my many families, and he must get out of Kanto and just treat it as exiled. This is the biggest concession for the foreign minister. Please don't say it anymore."

"Exile? Very good. Thank you. Honda." Xiubao bowed and glanced at Qingsheng with his light. His eyes turned, and he thought about it. He raised his head and smiled, "Since it is exile, then I have a heartless request. I wonder if Your Highness can accept it?"

"Your Highness, but it's okay." Zhongchao frowned, afraid that Xiubao would have any other thoughts.

"That's right, I feel that if such a dangerous retainer becomes a ronin, he may do something even more terrifying. If he pours dirty water on you at that time, it will probably be a big trouble for you and Ling Zun. Instead of doing this, it is better to hand him over to the subordinates, and the subordinates are responsible for the custody and surveillance. In this way, it will not only prevent him from running around and harming the place, but also save a lot of unnecessary trouble. I wonder if Your Highness can agree?"

When he heard that Xiu Bao wanted to take the harem in person, Zhongchao was willing to: "If this could be done, that would be great. With Your Highness here, this guy would never have the chance to harm one side. How could the foreign minister not allow it?"

Hidepo nodded with a smile, turned around and pushed Kyuki to Tadao, signaled him to kneel down, and said solemnly: "Since that's the case, then from now on, your Komiyayama Haruka is my Hyuki's retainer. But before that, you should tell His Highness Honda apart, after all, you are the master family that has served for seven years."

Qingsheng immediately bowed down, but before he could speak, he was stopped by Zhongchao: "Forget it, I can't stand this worship. In the future, His Highness, the servant, will you be very happy to be 'entered'? See how dare you be arrogant?"

"You!" Qingsheng stared at Zhongchao fiercely, but he was his former lord after all. Even if he made mistakes, there would be no connection from now on. Thinking of this, he bowed again, his voice trembled, but he still expressed his gratitude to the many families: "No matter what, the many families are the lords of my father and minister. Without Zhongsheng, I would not live today. Although I left my hometown from now on, I will never forget the kindness of my families. I have offended me before, so I would forgive you."

"Forgiveness? Humph, it's too late to beg for mercy now." Zhongchao was unmoved at all and said coldly: "From now on, your lord is His Highness, and my family has no connection with you from now on. I hope you have a self-knowledge."

"Okay, stop talking." Xiubao patted Qingsheng on the shoulder and comforted him: "His Highness Zhongchao is angry, so you can go out first. When he gets angry, I believe he will forgive you."

"My subordinates understand." Qingsheng looked at Zhongchao with complicated eyes. Seeing that he was still full of resentment, he had to get up and salute everyone, and walked out of the hall with Yiju's company.

After this scene, all the generals were not in the mood to talk about the exchange of hostages, especially the Tokugawa family, who were involved, the retainers either sighed or whispered. Even the most steadiest Tadori Okubo was staring at the floor without raising his head, and he did not have the courage to face everyone.

"Looking at the look, I can't discuss any results today. Why not go back and rest first. When tomorrow morning, we will discuss countermeasures after everyone's mood is adjusted. I wonder what you think?" Xiuyuan took the lead in breaking the deadlock and asked softly the generals present.

"Okay, that's all. Everyone will go back first. We will discuss the rescue of Nayan tomorrow." Xiu Bao leaned over to salute everyone, and then walked out of the hall. Seeing this, the other generals also stood up and left the seat, only Zhonglin was still sitting in place, as if thinking about something...

After dinner, Xiubao summoned Qingsheng to his residence and ordered Yiju to guard the door and not allowed anyone to enter. After the two began a secret conversation.

Hidebo said first: "I don't know what His Highness Kyuki's name is, so I'll be more friendly to the name in the future."

"I am named Saburo, and you can also call him Wei Chen Sheng San." Qingsheng replied respectfully.

Xiubao nodded and smiled and said, "Very good. I just heard that Ling Zun's name is Tooharu Komiya Yama. I wonder if it is His Highness Komiya Nakachi who is among the 'Twelve People of the Era'?"

"That's right, the lord actually knew his father?" Harukatsu was surprised and then happy. Unexpectedly, the Takeda family has been destroyed for many years, and some people still remember this "Twelve people in the twelve people" that are not famous compared to the "Four Heavenly Kings of Takeda" and the "Twenty-Four Generals of Takeda".

Speaking of this group of people, everyone may be a little unfamiliar with them, but if you say it another way, you may suddenly realize: "Centipedes", which are their common names. Because of the name of the centipedes, their status cannot be compared with ordinary people. These twelve people are the children of capable retainers, and only Shingen can be promoted by Shingen himself can be included in this list. For example, Masahiro Sanada and Masaji Kobamoriji were all served Shingen for many years before they were selected. This shows the status of this team in the Takeda family.

Perhaps because most of the retainers are the main force, they are not as good as other combinations of the Takeda family in terms of fame. In addition, the main family is destroyed, so they are gradually forgotten.

"I have heard of Nai Shizumasaki's deeds, but if I remember correctly, wasn't he dying for the Takeda family in Tianmu Mountain?" Hideo asked casually while drinking tea.

"I didn't expect that the lord knew so much. Yes, there was indeed a fellow tribe who died in Tianmu Mountain, but it was not his father, but his father's younger brother Changqin. As for his father, he broke through the siege the day before and fled west." Speaking of this, Qingsheng sighed.

Seeing this, Xiu Bao immediately asked: "Ling Zun has always been loyal and righteous, why should he abandon his master's family and survive?"

"This..." Qingsheng was stunned and didn't know how to answer, so he had to lower his head and keep silent.
