Ashikaga Yoshiteru saw Wada Weimasa's fear and understood her thoughts.

Wada Weimasa's territory is in the Rokkaku family, and he serves Ashikaga Yoshiteru in the dual capacity of Rokkaku family and shogunate.

When Rokkaku Sadayori was still alive, the Rokkaku family had a good relationship with Ashikaga Yoshiteru.

Wada Weimasa led the shogunate's envoys and negotiated, earning a lot of face.

Since the death of Rokkaku Sadayori, the relationship between the Rokkaku family and the shogunate has turned cold, and Wada Weimasa has been embarrassed for a while.

Fortunately, Ashikaga Yoshiteru believed in her and still sent envoys to various families as shogunate envoys.

It was her duty to be an envoy, and because she was not just a minister, Ashikaga Yoshiteru trusted her a little more and thought of leaving the matter of this envoy to her.

But there were some things she couldn't do anything about. First, she had to convince this beautiful woman not to be afraid of death.

"Sanhao Changqing and Sibo Yiyin are both heroes of the world, so military and national affairs are not trivial.

Don't worry, I will protect your life. "

Wada Weizheng fell to the ground and kowtowed.

She has also been to Mihao's house many times as envoy, so she naturally understands Mihao Changqing's character and believes in the general's assertion.

But Mr. Gongfang, you said that Shiba is easy to talk to, which is outrageous.

When Shiba Yiyin came to Beijing for the first time, he had a conflict with the general. He took off his clothes and exposed his injuries on the spot, showing his bravery.

How can such a ferocious murderer have any docility like a man, and how can he be reasonable? Lord Gongfang, do you feel guilty when you say this?

Maybe he will take the overall situation into consideration, but I think it's better not to try, you only have one life.

Seeing that Wada Weimasa refused to raise his head, Ashikaga Yoshiki couldn't help but get angry and even panicked.

Could it be that in the hearts of the ministers, the fear of Shiba Yiyin has exceeded their respect for me?

Ashikaga Shogunate, who has the final say in the future?

———

"My Lord, Akechi Mitsuhide is incompetent."

Sibo's army has opened a garrison in the camp.

Yoshigan and Akechi Mitsuhide have already left Mibuchi Haru's residence and are waiting for Ashigaru to set up a military tent in their own camp.

Akechi Mitsuhide worriedly admitted his mistake to Yoshigan, who waved his hand.

"I don't blame you, I just understood the reason.

Ashikaga retainers are the shogunate. They have thrived in Yamashiro Kingdom for more than a hundred years and have their own set of rules.

If Aunt Sanyuan hadn't revealed the secret, everyone would have stumbled. "

Akechi Mitsuhide frowned.

“I used to think that the general’s difficulty lay in logistics.

Now that the truth is out, we must soften our attitude and not embarrass the general. "

Yiyin nodded.

The Shiba family's current strategy is still to closely follow the Ashikaga family.

Yiyin can help the general suppress the ministers, but if the life and death of the ministers is at stake, they will definitely give it a go.

It's not that you can't defeat these ministers, but there's no need to go to this point.

War is a continuation of politics, and politics is the art of compromise.

If all the ministers collapsed and the Yamashiro Kingdom was reduced to ruins, who would support the Ashikaga family's military strength?

Not to mention other things, although the 500-horse Huizhong was established with local donations, who would provide the food, grass and armaments for the battle?

The shogunate is one of the pillars of the Ashikaga shogunate. Ashikaga Yoshiteru can hate one of the shogunate, such as Ise Sakyuo.

But she couldn't bring down all the ministers, that would be to break the foundation of the Ashikaga family.

Yoshigan and Akechi Mitsuhide had always believed that Miyoshi Chokei was the one troubled by the instability in the territory.

Unexpectedly, the Shancheng Kingdom's territory on the general's side was also unstable.

Both sides had a difficult time, so the shogunate army, which had the upper hand in negotiations because of Yoshiyoshi's donation of grain, was once again on an equal footing with the Miyoshi army.

Since it’s difficult, let’s negotiate quickly.

The problem now is that Yiyin was too high-profile before.

Although the ministers were resentful, Ise Sadao had learned from the past and no one dared to mention negotiations again.

Shiba Yiyin inexplicably embarrassed the general, and further alienated the ministers from the Shiba family.

So Akechi Mitsuhide had to admit his mistake, which would be a big loss.

It's too late to trace the blame now, Yi Yin asked.

"It's okay to soften your attitude, but how to do it specifically?"

"The shogunate has declined, and all the offices under its jurisdiction have retreated into retreat.

Only the political office was in charge of finances and managed the donations of military families and the territorial contributions of ministers in various places, so it still had real power. "

Yiyin understands.

"That's why the Ise Sadaect is so strong. The hereditary administration of the Ise family, the deacons, and the ministers all look up to her family.

But I have offended her so much that our two families have no room for maneuver. "

Akechi Mitsuhide agrees.

"Ise Sadakyo went too far this time to get close to Miyoshi's family, and Mr. Kakata also developed a hatred for her.

We skipped her and went directly to seek forgiveness from the Ninagawa family, the acting official of the political office.

The head of the Ninagawa family, Ninagawa himself, and the young master's relatives are both in the military, so the master can go and negotiate with them in person. "

In Japan's Warring States Period, the actual power of acting officials was very strong, and it was a common place for subordinates to overcome superiors.

Some Daikan usurped the power of their lord due to their expansion of strength, such as Owari Oda Daishiba.

Some are high-level struggles, deliberately done by the upper management, such as this time the Ise family fell out of favor with the Ashikaga Shogun.

After the war, Ashikaga Yoshiteru would inevitably use the political office to act as official for the Ninagawa family, and vacate the Ise family as the deacon of the political office, so that Ise Sakyo would pay the price for his words and deeds.

Since the Ise family is destined to decline, the Ninagawa family has become the Shiba family's first choice for relaxation.

Yiyin asked.

"What should I do to impress the Ninagawa family?"

“The Ninagawa family’s territory is located in Tamba Country.

Now that the Tanba Hatano family has surrendered to the Miyoshi family, the Ninagawa family territory is in danger of being destroyed.

If the Lord is willing to lend a helping hand, the Ninagawa family has no reason to refuse.

Currently, among the shogunate's army, only the Shiba family can influence the situation of the war with their strong military strength. "

Most of the shogunate's territories were in Yamashiro Province and surrounding countries. This was the territory given to Ashikaga retainers during the period when the shogunate was strong.

Therefore, Niki Yoshimasa's territory was in Iga, while the Ninagawa family was divided into Tanba territory.

If nothing happens, the territory of the Sanyuan family will be expanded to Beihanei.

Miyoshi Yoshihide captured Tamba, and no one could tell whether the shogunate territory within it would be liquidated after the war.

Although the Ninagawa family is hereditary, its position of power is not low.

But compared to a behemoth like Sanhaojia, it is completely inadequate.

The Mihaoshi family won't care about a small political position, and they will devour the territory.

But for the Ninagawa family, losing their territory was a devastating event.

As long as Yoshihiro is willing to speak on behalf of the Ninagawa family in subsequent negotiations, with the current power of the Shiba family, Miyoshi Nagakei will have to think carefully before making a decision.

Therefore, the Ninagawa family will inevitably agree to ease the situation for the Shiba family and the small misunderstanding between them and the ministers.

Moreover, if the Shiba family softens their attitude, negotiations can be started again, and the autumn harvests of the ministers and families can be preserved.

This matter will greatly enhance the prestige of the Ninagawa family, and it will be beneficial to her family. There is no reason not to agree to it.

For Yoshihiro Shiba, the key is to make up for the situation and not to squander Ashikaga Yoshiteru's favor for the Shiba family.

The Shiba family has risen to prominence. If it steals the limelight from the Ashikaga family, will this strong-willed father-in-law become disgusted with the Shiba family?

What those in power hate most is not their enemies, but those who are powerful and powerful within them.

Because of rights, no one wants to share them, they only want to monopolize them.

Yiyin sighed, doing these messy things was more troublesome than fighting.
