Maeda said.
"The Lord hopes to maintain the balance of power in recent times, so he ordered me to cooperate with the Asai family to suppress the Rokkaku family.
Now that the Rokkaku family is in turmoil, the Miyoshi family is also on the verge of civil strife. The general was working hard to govern in Kyoto, but there were rumors that Shiba's important ministers were not getting along with each other.
If we continue to suppress the Rokkaku family, once Minami Omi is corrupted, the general will be happy, but we will be unlucky. "
Maeda Rihisa shook his head.
The recent chaos of the situation and the complexity of demands from all parties have overwhelmed her, making it even more difficult for her to make accurate judgments.
The situation changed too quickly.
It had only been a year, but the powerful Rokkaku family and Miyoshi family were in chaos. The general bucked the trend, completely suppressed the shogunate, and regained control of the shogunate.
If Yoshigan Shiba continues to do what he wanted when he left, the result will be the collapse of the Rokkaku family, and the general will take advantage of the situation to encroach on Minami Omi and become even more powerful.
Akechi Mitsuhide was scolded every day in Kyoto, and the news returned was very unfavorable to the Shiba family. It seemed that the general was about to start dividing the local powerful factions.
The important ministers of Shiba are not related to each other. This is the knot in the hearts of the general and the ladies of Shiba.
This rumor was treated as a joke by outsiders, but the general was dubious. But for the senior executives of the Spo family, it is a tacit secret.
Maeda Rihisa said.
"The Sibo family is the leader of the local powerful faction and an important supporter of the general. She will not break her own arms.
As long as Mitsuhide Akechi operates well in Kyoto, the general will not kill the Shiba family. It will not be good for her if the Shiba family is in chaos. "
Maeda benefit sneered.
“You count on Mitsuhide Akechi, but I can’t believe her.
Although I don’t know what she is doing in Kyoto, my intuition tells me that this rumor has something to do with her. "
Maeda Toshihisa said in confusion.
"Akechi Mitsuhide will cause trouble and take the initiative to let the general suppress the Shiba family?
This is impossible, don't talk nonsense. "
Maeda smiled.
"Mother, you don't understand.
I can feel her feelings for the master. Akechi Mitsuhide is a lunatic and must be dealt with carefully.
I'm sure, don't look at her now to support me in building Ueno Castle. Later, because of the military service account matter, I must have taken the initiative to break up with me and show the general the internal discord in the Sibo family.
But I can't figure out what's the benefit of her trying so hard to arouse the general's dislike for me and so on?
Miyoshi's family is in chaos, Rokkaku's family is in chaos, there has been internal discord in the Spur Kingdom in recent years, and the general has no scruples in doing things. Is this the result she wants?
The stronger the general, the greater the chance that the lord will marry into the imperial palace. She should be more anxious than me. What on earth was she thinking?
I want to help Rokkaku and his daughter to stabilize the Minami Omi Rokkaku family again.
On the one hand, it is to maintain the balance of power in recent times and prevent the general's family from becoming dominant. On the other hand, I also wanted to see her reaction and see what she was planning. "
Maeda Riku still finds it hard to believe his daughter's judgment, because it is all her own opinion and there is no evidence.
"According to your words.
If you take the initiative to help the Rokkaku family stabilize the situation, you will definitely be disgusted by the general, and Akechi Mitsuhide will have even more reason to cut off from you.
Heed my advice and don't make trouble.
We should suppress Mitsuhide Akechi step by step according to the opportunity, and first obtain the military service account of Iga Kingdom's 100,000 koku. This is the safe approach.
No matter what conspiracy she thinks up, it cannot replace the power of the sword. When the situation is clear, the only way to speak powerfully is to use military force to speak. "
Maeda Riku earnestly advised his daughter that no matter what Akechi Mitsuhide wanted to do, Maeda's interests should not be ignored.
The Wu family's competition is ultimately about strength. Whoever has more men, money, and guns and can win the war will be the one with the loudest voice.
No matter what machinations Akechi Mitsuhide may have, as long as Maeda's interests and strength are in place, everyone will have to speak with swords and guns in the end.
Maeda Yoshida firmly shook his head and said.
"Mother, I must know what she is going to do so that I can cope with it. I must not lose to her.
I am only implementing the master's recent balance of power strategy, and helping the Rokkaku family is also fulfilling the master's entrustment.
I don't care whether the general is angry or not, there is only one thing I want to see clearly.
Does Akechi Mitsuhide hope that the Rokkaku family will collapse? Is she forcing the Rokkaku family to resist, or is she helping the general expand? "
Although Maeda Yoshida doesn't have Akechi Mitsuhide's brain, she has a keen intuition like a wild beast that she grew up in the mountains.
To judge Mitsuhide Akechi's intentions, guessing is not enough; you have to look at her actions.
If her purpose of disrupting all parties is to enhance the general's strength, then the Rokkaku family must collapse and Minamiomi will be cannibalized by the general.
If her purpose is to force all parties to join forces to resist the general, then she will definitely try her best to preserve the vitality of the Rokkaku family for the follow-up.
Maeda's heart is tied to Yoshigoshi Shiba, and she values her relationship with her master too much.
The Wu family relies on strength to compete, but the heart of the master can be taken away through intrigues. So she didn't dare to gamble and had to find out Ake Mitsuhide's intentions.
Maeda Riku thought for a while and said.
"You are suspicious of Akechi Mitsuhide's actions, forcing all the recent forces into a situation of hostility against the general, and leading all parties to suppress the general."
Maeda nodded and said.
"Akechi Mitsuhide will never help the general marry his master. All her actions now are unreasonable, so this is the only explanation left.
The general has a strong personality and has long been planning to revive his family business. He uses drastic methods to leave no room for others.
The Ise family is the leader of the shogunate, the Miyoshi family and the Rokkaku family dominate each other, and the Shiba family is a relative of the shogun and the leader of the local powerful faction.
Relying only on the power of one or two families can temporarily suppress the general, but it cannot prevent the lord from marrying into the imperial palace.
Only by letting the general offend everyone so hard and everyone joining forces to suppress the general and denying her a chance to make a comeback can there be any hope of ending the Lisboa marriage.
The Lord is the Ashikaga Military God, and once married into the imperial palace, the general's strength will inevitably be enhanced. All parties were afraid of this outcome, so they helped Akechi Mitsuhide mess up the matter.
The prerequisite for this to happen is that the general must make sure that everyone has no way to survive, so that all the families with different interests can unite and take action together. "
Maeda Rijiu pondered for a while and nodded.
"You have a point."
It is very difficult to prevent Shiba Yiyin from marrying into the imperial palace. He has accepted the sword, and Lisbo's engagement has become a reality.
Although the Ashikaga family was in decline, the direct descendants of the Genji family in Kawachi were still the common rulers of the world, and the shogun's marriage was not so easy to break up.
In this world, women are respected. A woman carries a child for ten months and gives birth to a child. The relationship between men and women is much more stable than in a world where men are respected.
Unlike the monarch of Yiyin's previous life, the rain and dew touched his body and he was so open-minded.
In other words, the world of female lords has a more serious attitude towards the relationship between husband and wife than the previous life of Qi Yin.
In order to destroy the already arranged marriage of Ashirisbo, only the Shogun must be immoral. The samurai inside and outside the shogunate couldn't bear it and joined forces to suppress the Shogun.
The Ise family from the shogunate, the Shiba family from the local power of the shogunate, the Rokkaku family from the east and the Miyoshi family from the west. Only when these people join forces can they have enough weight.
Maeda Riku sighed.
"Akechi Mitsuhide has such a cruel heart and is in such a big situation."
Maeda nodded and said proudly.
"Let her weave a web secretly, and I won't be able to see through it at a glance.
As long as she doesn't destroy my help to the Rokkaku family and allows Rokkaku and his daughter to return to Guanyin Temple City, her plan will be confirmed. "
Maeda Riku nodded.
No matter how Akechi Mitsuhide conceals her intentions, as long as she does not hinder the restoration of harmony within the Rokkaku family and preserves their strength, she can see through her true thoughts.
She is not helping the general, but trying to harm him.
Don't look at the fact that Maeda Mamoru hates Akechi Mitsuhide now, and he hates him so much that his teeth itch. If Akechi Mitsuhide can really break up this marriage, Maeda will definitely cooperate with her to help her make it happen.
