Ashikaga Teru-kun almost burst into tears, but Ootaisho ignored the embarrassment of his always doted son and continued to question him.
"Tell me clearly! Who told you!"
Ashikaga Yoshiki felt something was wrong more and more. Seeing that tears were already welling up in her brother's eyes, she stepped forward and said something.
"Father, you scared Mr. Hui. Please be patient and let me ask."
Only then did Oitaisuo calm down a little, and when he saw the tears on his son's face, he felt guilty and kept silent.
Ashikaga Yoshiki asked his younger brother softly.
"Don't be afraid, Mr. Hui. Speak slowly to your sister. How did you know about this rumor?"
Huijun wiped his eyes and sobbed while swallowing more.
"A few days ago, I made an appointment with several young masters from the Wu family who I have good relations with, to drink tea and sing songs in the inner courtyard of the imperial platform.
Someone was talking about interesting things in Beijing these past two days, and this happened to be mentioned. Everyone thought it was nonsense and just a joke, no one would take it seriously. "
While Ashikaga Yoshiki comforted his younger brother, he became alert. The father's reaction was obviously serious, it seemed that this matter was not simple.
Ashikaga Shogun is the lord of the world, and there is a tradition in Kyoto to make fun of the shogun privately. It's just that most of those rumors are ridiculous. Rumors also use this to tease those in power and seek excitement.
When you are in a high position, you will inevitably be ridiculed by others. This is also a channel for those in lower positions to vent their anger. It's been around since ancient times and it's hard to stop.
Most of these rumors are absurd and bizarre. On the one hand, they are teasing the Lord of the World. On the other hand, because the content is unrealistic, it is difficult for people to take them seriously, and they truly infringe on the face and interests of the superiors.
Ashikaga Yoshiteru thought that the rumor of twin girls was also a daily occurrence, but who knew that Odaisho's reaction was so intense and abnormal.
Ashikaga Teru-kun groaned. He couldn't tell which little brother mentioned it first, but all the young men in the circle seemed to have heard of it.
Ashikaga Yoshiki pondered, if it spread so widely in such a short time, could there be someone behind it? What is this person going to do? What do you want to achieve?
Ashikaga Teru-kun saw his sister's father's face turn blue after his sister asked, and he suddenly became curious and asked.
"Father, is my sister really a twin? I have another sister?
Twin girls. . Could it be that she was adopted by Heaven? poor thing. . "
Ashikaga Teru-kun is innocent and brilliant, but he doesn't know how to speak. Ashikaga Yoshiki secretly screamed that something was wrong, knowing that his brother was going to be in trouble.
Sure enough, Odaisho suddenly became furious, pointed at Ashikaga Teru-kun, interrupted him, and cursed.
"No rules! So no rules! I spend the whole day playing with some dudes and spreading some inexplicable rumors!
Have you learned how to choreograph your sister now? She is Ashikaga General! Do you have any brains! I believe this rumor!
What to eat! Eat, eat, eat, just know how to eat! Only a body but not a brain! Get out of here! Go back to your room and think about your mistakes behind closed doors!
I was not allowed to eat for three days. Recently, I was given a good copy of the men’s training and I was not allowed to come out! "
Ashikaga Teru-kun's tears were dripping down like broken pearls. His father, who had always doted on him, was so angry that he was scared that he didn't know what to do.
He turned to look at his sister for help, and saw her winking and telling him to leave first. So Ashikaga Teru-kun bit his lower lip and ran out.
When Da Yutai saw his young son leaving, his evil fire had no target to vent, and it was hard to let go. He pointed at Ashikaga Yoshiki, the current general, and cursed out of control.
"It's all because of you! You don't know how to salute when you leave, and you don't know any rules at all!"
Ashikaga Yoshiki smiled bitterly and bowed to admit his mistake. She became more and more confused. Could this rumor of twin girls be true?
After Odaisho finished venting his anger and regained his breath out of breath, Ashikaga Yoshiki asked.
"Father, don't be so angry. It's just a rumor. There are eighty if not one hundred rumors about me in Jingli every year. They can't be taken seriously."
Ootai saw Ashikaga Yoshiki smiling and seemingly unconcerned, but his eyes became sharper and he sighed in his heart.
My daughter said she didn't believe it, but her subconscious reaction was too strong and she confirmed the matter.
he sighed.
"I won't hide it from you. This is true. You are indeed a twin."
Ashikaga Yoshiki nodded silently and asked again.
"Father, are my sisters really being..."
Ootaisho closed his eyes and his voice was no higher than mumbling.
"Abandoned by my own hands in the wilderness, God will provide for you."
He thought in his mind, abandoned it in the wild outside Kofukuji Temple, and was picked up by the promised Ichijoin Master. Isn’t this considered cheating on my daughter?
Ashikaga Yoshiki saw his father's tired face and seemed unwilling to mention the matter again. But she had doubts in her heart. What was the purpose of this rumor spreader?
They are spreading bizarre rumors that happen to point to the truth. She still does have sinister intentions, but she hasn't realized her purpose yet.
Ashikaga Yoshiki felt uneasy and asked again.
"Where did her mother abandon her? How many people in Beijing know about this?"
Ootaisuo's eyes suddenly opened and he saw his daughter burst into tears.
"I have already thrown her away. Does it matter where I throw her? The water in Kyoto is as deep as an abyss. Who knows how many people are secretly peeking at the imperial palace!"
Ashikaga Yoshiki saw his father almost collapsed and did not dare to provoke him any more. He quickly kowtowed to the ground and said.
"I'm very sorry, father. I said the wrong thing and reminded you of the unpleasant past."
Ootaisuo stood up and walked straight out.
"I can't eat any more. I'm a little tired. General, please go back."
Odaisho left quickly, leaving only Ashikaga Yoshiki facing three tables to eat.
The general was even more confused, as his father's reaction left too many doubts. But he didn't want to say it, and the general couldn't force his father to confess.
She stood up and walked slowly away from the platform, thinking about her thoughts as she walked.
This rumor has no beginning and no end. He talks about being a twin, but doesn't mention the life and death of the other child. What's the point? Twin girls are unlucky, but after Heaven nourishes and Heaven harvests, the bad luck is removed.
Ashikaga Yoshiki suddenly stopped.
What if the child didn't die? There is indeed no problem after Heaven nourishes and Heaven harvests. But if the child had not died, the decline of the Ashikaga family over the years could be attributed to the onset of bad luck.
Because Odai could not bear it, he did not kill one of the twin girls, which led to the decline of the Ashikaga family's fortune, and there was a stain on Ashikaga Yoshiteru.
The ancients were superstitious and would rather believe that something existed than something that did not exist. The decline of the Ashikaga family began with the Sixth Generation of Shoguns and has fallen all the way to today. But if the martial artists have ulterior motives, they may not be willing to admit this fact.
They would deceive the lower-class Ji warriors and pour dirty water on the superstition that twins are unlucky. Once public opinion takes shape, the general will be very passive.
Ashikaga Yoshiki became more and more serious as she thought about it, she frowned and continued walking forward.
The question now is not whether the child is still alive. Even if he is alive, it will be too late to kill him. The process of heaven nourishing and heaven harvesting has been interrupted.
The best response now is to deny it. The father did the right thing. Ignoring the matter of the twin girls was the best way to protect himself.
Now that he understands the reason why his father refuses to talk about the matter, Ashikaga Yoshiteru will treat it as a rumor and ignore it.
But we have to be wary of the malice behind this matter. Who is spreading the secrets of the Ashikaga family as rumors? Almost provocative.
Ashikaga Yoshiki's heart moved and he began to walk quickly towards his sword room.
