Ashikaga Yoshiki certainly understood his father's plan, but he found it difficult to accept it.
Ootai set up a trap for Takada Yukino to make her commit an unforgivable crime, forcing Yoshigan Shiba to come to the rescue.
However, it also pointed out a fact that the general was unwilling to admit.
In the heart of Shiba Yoshiki, Ashikaga Yoshiteru is not as important as Takada Yukino. How can the always arrogant general accept this?
she said bitterly.
"Father is really good at calculating, but do you know? Sibo Yiyin may not be willing to come forward."
Dagotaisuo sneered.
"That kid Yiyin is not good at all, but people still value friendship.
If Takada Yukino hurt someone in the imperial palace, he would still intervene.
At that time, I will meet with him once to discuss our interests.
He should be willing to give in half a step to give the shogunate a way to step down with dignity, and also to leave an opening for you to have a chance to form a relationship. "
If Ashikaga Yoshiki is messing around alone, then Shiba Yoshigan can look on with cold eyes.
But if someone from the Sibo family committed something in the Imperial Palace, and he was someone he cared about, he would definitely come forward.
As long as he opens his mouth, we can talk, and Ootai will be sure to reach a compromise.
The existence of the shogunate is also of great interest to the Shiba family. Since they are no longer silent, there is no room for avoidance and they can only work together to maintain the shogunate.
Ashikaga Yoshiki shook his head and sighed.
"You underestimated Yukino Takada."
Ootaisuo narrowed his eyes and said coldly.
"She didn't just hurt people? Did she accidentally kill someone?
Most of those swordsmen were from humble backgrounds, and they died as soon as they died. It was their duty to be able to contribute to the Ashikaga family and take the emperor's salary. "
Ashikaga Yoshiki replied with a wry smile.
"She used the pretext of a swordsmanship competition to kill ten swordsmen who disrespected Shiba Yiyin in front of me. The sword room was filled with blood."
Da Yutai sucked in the cold air, was speechless for a moment, and said dryly.
“This temperament is indeed like that of the people close to Yiyin, as strong as fire.
Is she okay? injured? "
Ootaisuo was panicked.
He didn't care about the life or death of the ten swordsmen, but if Yukino Takada died in the sword room competition, then all his plans would be in vain and would have the opposite effect.
Ashikaga Yoshiki looked solemn.
"I was injured, I just asked the doctor, it's not life-threatening.
However, I think your idea is difficult to realize. Killing ten people in a row at the Imperial Palace is something that Shiba Yiyin may not be willing to bear. "
The Imperial Palace is the residence of the general. It is a crime of disrespect for ordinary people to make noise here. It is even more serious to commit hara-kiri.
Takada Yukino was in the sword room and killed ten people in front of the general. No matter how this happened, he was bound to die.
If the Ashikaga family does not pursue such crimes, they will probably lose their face.
The problem now is no longer as simple as using Takada Yukino to leverage Shiba Yoshigan and make him loosen his attitude.
Maybe it will really ruin the relationship between the two families.
As long as the Sibo family investigates carefully, there will always be clues that there is a noble person behind this matter.
Since they knew it was the Ashikaga family that was causing trouble, why would the Shiba family have to wade into this muddy water.
Killing ten people is different from injuring others, killing someone by mistake, and cannot be dismissed as negligence. The Shiba family had to pay a heavy price to save Yukino Takada.
Is Sponey Bank willing to pay this price? He values friendship, but what is more important than family fortune? Naturally, there will be choices, and giving up Yukino Takada is a high probability.
Da Oitaisuo also felt prickly and looked at the general.
"how do you want to do it?"
At this time, the general also got out of his previous love state of self-pity and self-pity, and turned into a passionate and decisive man again.
The father has come this far for himself. If the daughter doesn't cheer up, she will be a daughter in vain.
"I have ordered Yukino Takada to be imprisoned, notified Shiba's residence of the matter, and ordered Yoshihiro Shiba to send someone to explain Yukino Takada's fault."
Da Oitaisuo was stunned and smiled happily.
This is his good daughter, the majestic Ashikaga General.
Since Shiba Yiyin is shameless and does not want to marry into the imperial palace, then let's follow the normal process.
Takada Yukino killed someone at the Imperial Palace, and it is considered grace to apologize by committing seppuku.
To have the Sibo family send someone to behead her to rectify her mistake was a great favor that no one could fault.
Either let it be business, or if Spo Yiyin can't bear it, let's talk about personal affairs.
As long as the Imperial Palace does not announce this matter to the public, everything can still be discussed.
The Ashikaga family and the Shiba family are relatives, and there is always some friendship to talk about.
If Yoshihiro Shiba gives up on Yukino Takada, no wonder the Ashikaga family distinguishes between public and private affairs and does not give face.
Even if Shiba Yiyin guessed that there was a method of Odaisho involved, there was nothing he could do.
After all, Ashikaga General is the lord of the world. Could he fall out with the Ashikaga family over a small retainer?
It's just that his perception of the general is likely to collapse, and the negative impact will be too great.
Odaisho looked at his daughter with a slightly apologetic look, and Ashikaga Yoshiki shook his head.
It was her father who always dealt with the aftermath for her, and this time it was her turn to do her best for him.
In the final analysis, Da Yutai's failure was also because of her incompetent daughter.
After experiencing this incident, Shiba Yiyin's hatred for her doubled, and it was difficult to talk about the relationship between men and women.
Even if the person who gets him later can't get his heart, I don't know if he can change his mind in this life.
Ashikaga Yoshiki sighed.
The affairs of the Imperial Palace cannot be hidden from the Kyoto warriors. Because the winter review was postponed, everyone's eyes are fixed on the Imperial Palace.
Now there are ten corpses lying around in the sword room. How can they cover them up? Kyoto is completely shaken.
Although the samurai family likes to speak with swords and guns, the use of force is strictly prohibited in Kyoto.
It's not that the Ashikaga family is a strong deterrent, it's because it's easy to lose control.
Since the third generation of shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu truly took control of the world, the Ashikaga family's control over the samurai family has declined from generation to generation. After the rebellion of the eighth generation shogun, it became even worse.
It’s not that Kyoto is without weapons, but it has suffered from frequent wars and disasters.
There is a tacit understanding between the martial arts families in Beijing and China that when encountering problems, they will reason and not fight with force.
Because the grievances of various families are intertwined, once someone takes action, it is very likely to trigger a chain reaction and break out a war.
The turmoil in Kyoto harmed the interests of all the shogunate samurai families.
This is the key to Odai's ability to manipulate the Brotherhood and use public opinion to help Ashikaga Yoshiteru stabilize the ministers.
Kyoto does not allow the use of force, only words have power. Otherwise, Warrior Ji would never pay attention to the men's chatter.
This time, Shiba's retainers killed ten people in a row in the imperial palace, and their nature was extremely bad.
Even the Hosokawa Mibuchi family, who are allies, cannot speak out.
The ministers secretly thought that they were worthy of the Ashikaga family, and after some manipulation, the problem was passed to the Shiba family.
Although everyone understands what is going on, as long as there is no explicit imperial order, then this matter does not exist.
The general secretly ordered the Shiba family to send someone to help the Shiba family, Yukino Takada. On the face of it, it gave the Shiba family enough face.
Even after seeing the blood, the imperial court allowed Takada Yukino to commit seppuku and allowed the Shiba family to correct their mistakes. This was a kindness.
If you don't think carefully about why Takada Yukino killed people in the imperial palace, the Ashikaga family seems to care about the Shiba family.
But the imperial palace has always been strictly managed. How can the rumors in Beijing spread in the imperial palace?
It also provoked Spo's retainers to kill people. If you look into this matter further, there are loopholes everywhere.
But no matter what, the Ashikaga family had the upper hand at this time.
The Spo family has nothing more than two choices.
First, send someone to correct the mistake and show that the Shiba family still submits to the Ashikaga family and the shogun.
In this way, the general's idle nonsense will be fooled away, and his prestige will not be damaged.
As long as the Sibo family is willing to bow their heads and be petty, the military masters can still tolerate the general's occasional willfulness.
Afterwards, the review will be held as appropriate, and the crisis in the shogunate will be over.
Secondly, if the Shiba family goes to the Imperial Palace to plead for mercy, then they have to make concessions to the Ashikaga family, and there is no possibility that the marriage will be followed up.
After all, Shiba Yiyin only said that he couldn't wear white clothes, but he didn't directly say that he had lost his integrity.
Maybe Governor Sibo doesn’t like to wear white clothes?
If Lisboa really merges, no one dares to talk nonsense behind their back if they don't want their lives.
In these two results, no matter how you look at it, the Ashikaga family has the upper hand, although the methods are a bit dirty.
While the warriors were watching the excitement, two pieces of news entered Kyoto.
One came from Sakai Port, Shiba Shinsengumi urgently reported that Miyoshi Chokei had pacified the Shikoku backyard in just one winter, and the Miyoshi family would make a comeback.
One came from Kitaomi, and the Asai family asked the shogunate for help. The Rokkaku family, together with the Mino Isshiki family, was about to launch an offensive against Kitaomi after the spring plowing.
Kyoto was in an uproar.
Everyone suddenly discovered that the Shiba family had a third option, which was to abandon Takada Yukino, remain silent, and wait for the Ashikaga family to bow their heads.
No matter how you plot, the war is coming and the weapons will rise again.
Do you, the Ashikaga family, dare to fight to the end?
