At the Kyoto Imperial Palace, Ashikaga Yoshiterumasa competes with swordsman Kamizumi Nobutsuna in swordsmanship. The two women were talking excitedly, and suddenly the general sighed.
"Teacher, tell me. Is life always so difficult, or is it just me?"
Kamizumi Nobutsuna's heart skipped a beat and he was speechless for a moment. She was just a teacher who got into the school with swordsmanship, and her family background was not high. If the general didn't love swordsmanship, there would be no place for her in the shogunate.
Therefore, she always only talks about swordsmanship and nothing else. There were no depths in the shogunate that she dared to touch.
Politics in ancient and modern times, at home and abroad, are all about killing people without blood. If you have unparalleled swordsmanship, if you dare to get involved, you will die without leaving your body intact.
"Why did the general say this?"
Since the general asked, she had no choice but to speak up and ask.
"I have been driven out of Kyoto several times with my mother since I was a child. The Ashikaga General looked majestic, but few people knew the pain.
When I came to the throne, I thought about reforming the shogunate and doing something great, but in the end, I still had to rely on Rokkaku Sadayori-sama, a black-hatted prostitute, to support the situation. After her death, who still takes me, the Ashikaga General, seriously? "
"Why did the general say this? In the battle of Noragada, the shogunate and the Asai family won a great victory, Rokkaku surrendered, and everyone outside was praising the general's wisdom."
Ashikaga Yoshiki sneered. After all, Kamiizumi Nobutsuna was not a political person. She only heard rumors from outside, but she didn't know how aggrieved she felt.
Before, she had been thinking of mobilizing the Ma Hui people to ask for an explanation from the Liujiao family, but the ministers were obedient and she had no choice but to compromise.
At this time, Yoshihiro Shiba took advantage of the afterglow of the imperial family system to mobilize the people of Omi to fight in Norada and gave Yoshihide Rokkaku a fatal blow. She suddenly saw an opportunity, an opportunity to revive the Ashikaga family.
But she just tried to propose the imperial family system in the shogunate meeting, and she encountered serious obstacles. Not only were the ministers opposed, but even the powerful local factions who had always stood behind her, the Izumi-Hosokawa family and the Kawauchi-Hatakeyama family also euphemistically expressed their disapproval.
What made her even more angry was that the ministers took advantage of the internal strife in the Rokkaku family to force Yogiharu Rokkaku, who succeeded him, to hand over the rule from the Seta River to Lake Biwa Omi, so that Sakamoto Castle, which had been rejected by the Rokkaku family, could be built.
This is a good thing, but what time is it now! The Miyoshi family is waiting for an opportunity, and it is the critical moment to unite the Rokkaku family and the Asai family to fight against the Miyoshi family.
Such behavior caused Rokkaku Yoshiharu, who had just taken office, to be seriously questioned by Rokkaku's retainers, triggering a new round of internal strife.
These ministers had previously tried to liaise with Rokkaku regardless of the general's reputation, but now they were further weakening the Rokkaku family for the tax money from Seta River, which affected the overall situation against the Miyoshi family.
He talks about the shogunate, but his heart is all about interests.
Ashikaga Yoshiki thought bitterly, don't think that I don't understand the thoughts of these ministers.
Even if Miyoshi Changqing succeeded in going to Luo this time, he emptied out the shogunate, became the leader, and even usurped the throne and became a general. That is also to appease the martial arts family in the shogunate, and it is impossible to push everyone to the opposite side.
But if the imperial family system is revived, how will the people under the high-ranking martial arts be appeased? What if the retainer also has thoughts? They are all being treated like dogs. It is better to be treated as a piece of property for the master's family than for the Ashikaga General!
The direct control of the samurai family was less than 30%. If the ministers under his command rushed to send land to the general in order to become a member of the imperial family, the vitality of each family in the shogunate would be seriously damaged.
Not to mention that future generations will have to compete with the new imperial family. To be honest, it is better to let Miyoshi Changqing become a general!
Therefore, Ashikaga Yoshiki could only give in. The Ashikaga shogunate was already terminally ill, so what could she do except resentment.
Either linger and close your eyes and let them toss and wait for death, or you can open your eyes and do something, which means betrayal and separation is the same as destruction.
How difficult it is to be a lord.
At the same time, a nun at Tofukuji Temple in Kyoto, not far from the Imperial Palace, also sighed.
Her face is solemn yet gorgeous, and she is in her early twenties, the age when her flowers are in full bloom.
She originally wanted to spend the rest of her life by paying homage to the Buddha with a green lantern, but who knew that someone was dragging her into gossiping about the worldly world.
"Your Majesty! Please, Your Majesty, please don't lose your fighting spirit. I am still lucky enough to be alive in the mountains. I will definitely revive Nizi's family through seven hardships and eight hardships."
The woman sighed, put down the wooden fish she was tapping, and looked back.
She was a beauty with a beautiful and delicate face. Although she looked only fifteen or sixteen years old, she was so eye-catching in her early years that she would cause countless men in the boudoir to get lovesickness in the future.
"The Nizi family has declined, and I have given up on being the last descendant. Why should you, Xingsheng, keep thinking about me?"
This woman's name is Nizi Shengjiu, and she is the only remaining legitimate daughter of Nizi's family. Since the Tomita Castle in Izumo Kingdom was captured by Motonari Mori, the Nizi family has been wiped out. Katsuhisa was disheartened and lived in Tofukuji Temple in Kyoto, not wanting to bother with anything anymore.
A few days ago, the daughter of Mitsuki Yamazaki, Yukimori, came to visit. She was a little happy at first. She met her old courtiers in a foreign country and treated them warmly.
Who would have known that this Yamanaka Yukimori is just a dog-skin plaster, once it sticks to your hand, you can't take it off. He begged her every day to revive the family business, but this time he even stole the words of Shiba's sworn oath, which was really helpless.
Mourimoto is known as the wise general. In recent years, he has completely defeated the two famous families in the Western Kingdom, the Ouchi family and the Nizi family, and has become a powerful figure in the Western Kingdom.
Her Nizi's family has fallen into decline. Even if she gathers three or two kittens, what can she do? Why don't she go and deliver food to Maori's family?
It is also Moli Yuan who is good at resourcefulness, and he is good at using the skills of vertical and horizontal strategies to achieve things throughout his life. The Nizi family's failure was so bad that these simple-minded Ji warriors with well-developed limbs couldn't understand it, so they couldn't wait to fight again.
If the Wu family like Yiyin, who used cheats to kill people, had conquered the Western Kingdom, they would probably be in peace. It would be better to remember the killings.
Yamanaka Yukimori refused to listen no matter what his advice, which gave Nizi Shengjiu a headache. I couldn't drive him away, I couldn't listen, I just regretted that I was too nostalgic, I should have said that I recognized the wrong person at that time.
At this time, Yoshigan said goodbye to Asai Nagamasa and other Asai family samurai who came to see him off, and took a boat from Lake Biwa to Seta River to Kyoto.
Although the Rokkaku family no longer dared to attack him, he would not go back to the capital via Nanomi River and across the Rokkaku family's territory. If a stubborn fool comes up to cause trouble again, there will inevitably be another bloody storm in Omi Country.
On the boat, Takatora Toudo, who was going to sea for the first time, was as excited as a monkey. He jumped up and down and couldn't stop for a moment. His head hurt from the excitement.
I regretted accepting the monkey. Before the Todo clan left, Todo Tora was grateful for Shiba Yoshigan's kindness, but his daughter was causing trouble again, so he simply threw the monkey to Yoshigan.
Anyway, the Tengtang people can't get away with the name of Spo Ling, so it's hard not to accept a daughter as a side horse back to Yiyin.
The territories of the twelve families of the Todo clan were now in the name of the imperial family, and no one dared to mess with Shiba's former territory. Hu Gao was so happy that he was ready to go home and give birth to the child.
Not only did she have to give birth, but her daughter and her subordinates all had to go back and work hard to have a baby. Anti-justice requires one penny a year to be donated, and old and young women do not have children and leave grain to become moldy.
