Kitaomi Otani Castle.
These days, all kinds of news about Yoshinobu and Nagamasa Asai, Kyoto and Minami Omi come one after another.
For the sake of Hosokawa Fujitaka and for the sake of Ashikaga Shirahata, Asai Nagamasa did not hide everything from Yoshigan Shiba.
Yoshigan, who had been confused about what happened along the way since he left Kyoto, finally came to some understanding.
Why did the shogunate send him as an envoy, why did the Rokkaku family want to kill him, and why couldn't the shogunate take revenge. I finally have an understanding of these reasons, and I am no longer just a silly roe deer running around.
The shogunate is a philanderer, with countless ambiguous partners, Rokkaku is one of them. Rokkaku's neighbor Asai is also interested in the shogunate.
In order to prove that the shogunate loved him, Rokkaku asked the shogunate to send him a rose on Valentine's Day, and also went next door to show Asai a flower to make her give up.
But the shogunate had many ambiguous partners, but they were reluctant to let go of any of them and refused to make their attitude clear. I bought a rose flower, and then said that I didn’t understand flowers and made a mistake.
Rokkaku was also scheming. He wanted to pluck the flowers and took the branches to talk to Asai. This is a rose given to me by the shogunate on Valentine's Day. Unfortunately, it was torn apart while squeezing the subway, but the branches are still there, you see.
Unexpectedly, I didn't pay attention when I was pulling out the rose flowers, and the shogunate happened to see me. The shogunate was immediately furious. I have so many romantic partners, so why should I be embarrassed by your scheming?
So I stopped paying attention to Hexagon. Then Rokkaku became anxious and chased after him to apologize to the shogunate.
What a soap opera, Yiyin complained, it would be nice if I wasn't that rose flower.
At this point in the play, the shogunate and the Rokkaku family had completely froze. The only way to quickly resolve the tangle is Yiyin's imperial flag.
As long as the Rokkaku family takes the imperial flag and respectfully sends it back to the shogunate. The ministers will definitely find a way to make the general focus on the overall situation and reduce big things to trivial matters.
So the question is, does Yiyin live or die?
Rokkaku Yoshixian now wants to eat Shiba Yoshiyin. Even if Rokkaku's retainers felt it was inappropriate, the royal flag was more important. A man's life or death could be big or small.
Mibuchi Haru lost power in the shogunate, and Hosokawa Fujitaka was suppressed by Hosokawa Motonsune. Wada Weimasa had connections with Rokkaku and the shogunate, and she was the one who least wanted a break between the two parties.
Shiba Yoshigan has no way out and can only wait for Asai Nagamasa to repel the Rokkaku family's attack before talking about anything else.
Yiyin smiled bitterly. We have really fallen into the whirlpool of recent times, and we can't get out no matter how hard we struggle. Only by winning the war can we find a way out.
In the final analysis, no matter how terrible the various conspiracies and tricks are, they are not worth the sword and gun on the battlefield.
This encounter made Yoshigami's easy-going mentality, which had been shaken by Takada Yukino's incident, even darker.
How can people in this troubled world have peace of mind? You can only rely on plug-ins to fight hard, and you can get as many chips as you want. Real peace is achieved when people don't dare to think harm to others at will.
At this time, Yiyin was in an embarrassing situation.
Sitting in the meeting hall of the castle tower in Odani Castle, Asai Nagamasa is sitting in the main seat, and he is second in the seat. But Warrior Ji below looked at him with strange eyes, which made him feel bitter in his heart.
As increasingly unfavorable information came in, Hosokawa Motonsune even wrote a letter denying Hosokawa Fujitaka's personal letter.
If Ashikaga Yoshiki had not gritted his teeth and refused to bow his head, without the protection of Ashikaga White Flag, the Asai family would have abandoned him without hesitation, cut off his head and sent it to the shogunate.
"In that case, I'll take my leave now."
After bowing to Nagamasa Asai who was sitting at the head of the table, Yoshigan walked out.
The Asai family's coup was over, and the shogunate's support had not been won, so Yoshigan was almost useless.
Next was a mobilization meeting for the Asai family, and he was not qualified to participate. Facing the inevitable attack from the Rokkaku family, the Asai people still have to fight.
Yoshigan walked out of the castle tower, and his residence was arranged in a guest house in the inner city. His companions Akechi, Maeda, and Otani all stayed in the house temporarily.
When it comes time to go into battle, I will still take him to fight. After all, the Ashikaga White Flag has not been denied, so it has value in use.
It was only a few dozen steps from the castle tower to the guest house, and the safety of the inner city was not a problem, but Yi Gin's depression was growing.
From today on, the family fortune of the Spo family has been completely destroyed by him.
Is the property left by Yoshito Shiba the 1,500 stone quarries in Owari? Of course, that is the cost of eating.
But what truly represents the status of the Shiba clan is the connection between Shiba Yoshito and the Kyoto shogunate. This is the basis for the Sibo family to survive after losing their right to rule.
Now Yiyin acted without permission and was hated by the shogunate. The close ministers of Sanyuan were also marginalized, and he became a broom star that everyone avoided.
Shangjing did not get any usable bargaining chips, but instead ruined the relationship that his mother Shiba Yitong had worked hard for many years.
Looking back on my operations since entering Beijing, I am really confused and confused. Thinking of how gentle Yitong's mother had been to him over the past fourteen years, he wanted to punch himself a few times.
Returning to the house with a depressed look on his face, he saw Akechi Mitsuhide admiring flowers in the atrium. It was already a warm spring day in Omi, so the mansion where guests were entertained would not be shabby.
Akechi Mitsuhide, who was sitting on the steps of the atrium, raised his hand to Yoshigan. Yoshigan, who was in a bad mood, forced a smile and walked over.
Under the trees in the atrium, the garden is full of spring scenery. The elegant Warrior Ji sat there with a smile and tilted her head. A breeze blew by, bringing the girl's unique fragrance.
Even though Yiyin is currently in a depressing situation, his heart still swells and he feels overwhelmed with beauty.
At Akechi Mitsuhide's signal, he sat next to her. He looked up at the garden full of delicate flowers and asked.
"What kind of flower is this? It blooms beautifully."
"I don't know. If it looks good, just take a look. Anyway, I have nothing to do."
Akechi Mitsuhide stretched his waist lazily, while Yoshigan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"makes sense."
"Are you in a bad mood?"
Akechi Mitsuhide turned his face sideways and looked at Yoshiyin.
"That's right. Bad news comes one after another.
Just now, Hosokawa Fujitaka's mother, Izumi Hosokawa's family governor Hosokawa Motonsune, received a letter, denying Hosokawa Fujitaka's autographed letter. "
Akechi Mitsuhide is Hosokawa Fujitaka's best friend. Although he followed Yoshiyin to Asai's house, in the final analysis, he was a guest. Telling some things clearly makes it easier to get together and part ways.
"Yeah, as expected."
Akechi Mitsuhide's reaction was unexpected.
"Have you guessed it?"
"Before we came to Asai's house, I roughly knew what we were going to encounter. In fact, Fujitaka himself should have figured it out, but she was a little, well, mentally retarded because of something recently."
Akechi Mitsuhide looked at Yoshigan with a somewhat thoughtful look, and Yoshigan looked puzzled.
"Since you already knew that things would turn out like this, why didn't you stop me then?"
"Because, I like you."
Akechi Mitsuhide turned around, and the sun shone on her usually indifferent face, blooming into a bright smile.
