The two masters and ministers were full of thoughts and were speechless for a moment.
The civil strife in Sanhao, the Danbo rebellion, and now the Nanman priests are coming to Luo. It is really a wave of unrest and another wave.
Matsu Nagahide secretly helped, but he did not dare to openly publicize it and stood on the opposite side of Ishiyama Honganji Temple.
The dispute over beliefs between the Yixiang Sect and the Nanman Sect in Settsu Kingdom was extremely fierce. When Master Xianru of Shishan learned that the Nanman priests had arrived in Kyoto, he didn't know how angry he would be.
How long can the three good and three people be tough? What will Miyoshi Yoshitsugu do? Matsunaga Hide didn't have any confidence at all.
She suddenly felt tired. The Sanhao family had been turbulent for many years. Is it time for the turmoil to end? And I should also think more about the future of the Matsunaga family.
———
Kyoto, Shiba Residence.
Yoshigan Shiba has been absent for more than a year, and this mansion, which was rewarded by Ashikaga Shogun, became Akechi Mitsuhide's base in Kyoto.
Although she often entertained guests in the mansion, she never dared to see people in the main hall and slept peacefully in the inner room. I just borrowed the side hall of the teahouse to come and go.
Others praised her for understanding dignity and respecting her superiors as if they were human beings. But Akechi Mitsuhide knew very well that he was afraid that he would not be able to enter the main hall or the inner room.
When I go there, I can't help but think of that person. The person is not here, but his appearance, his smell, and his posture are still vivid in my mind.
Even the bits and pieces of him and her tossing and turning on the bed, moaning and trembling, were firmly fixed in Akechi Mitsuhide's mind, and he could never forget them.
How dare she go?
In the past, I always thought that being in love with a scene was all about deceiving others. Only when you experience it yourself can you understand the truth that love goes deep and leaves no trace anywhere.
I thought so hard that in the middle of the night, under the moonlight, I hid in the quilt and called my name, comforting myself, but I didn't dare to face the direction of his inner room, just because I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to stop.
Akechi Mitsuhide often asks himself, what's wrong with me?
For him, there is much joy in meeting the ruler and his ministers and serving the Ming Lord. There are still many girls who are pregnant with their children and are obsessed with nymphomaniacs.
But she could not be said to be loyal to her master or her lover. He is just self-righteous and doing the dirty things he thinks he should do.
At this time, she had just returned from the Imperial Palace, and Xiao Yingying met Saito Rizo in her guest room. Next, sitting on their knees are the Tenglin sisters from the same group.
By candlelight, Akechi Mitsuhide looked at the military intelligence report brought back by the Fujibayashi sisters and read while reading.
“In the middle of the night, the cavalry crossed the Shochuan River and headed south, attacked Hinomiya Castle by surprise, killed dozens of people, and recaptured the city.
The next day, the troops from Wufu Mountain were united and moved to Zengshan City, where the Ni soldiers went into battle. More than a hundred enemies were wiped out, and the enemy troops defended the city and did not dare to come out again.
On the third day, they crossed Shochuan and entered Tonami County, took Inoue Castle to the south, and approached Zuisen Temple within thirty miles. Zuisen Temple asked for help from all directions overnight.
On the fifth day, he marched westward to Fuguang City, ambushed the reinforcements, and killed thirty more. Go north to Shanfa Temple, break down the door and kill the nun.
On the 6th, they rushed north along the Oyabe River and attacked halfway across the river. The enemy troops were routed, hundreds were trampled and drowned, and the corpses blocked the flow and temporarily stopped the flow.
Along the way, they destroyed temples for food, which was unstoppable. "
Akechi Mitsuhide put down the military information documents and couldn't help but sigh.
"How magnificent, my lord is truly a wonderful man in the world.
The Lord is brave and good at fighting, and he is the best in the world. A mere Xiangzong dared to tease the tiger's beard, but now he knows how powerful he is? "
Akechi Mitsuhide was amazed, but Saito Rizo said with a frown.
“Previously, the Echigo army destroyed temples and killed nuns in Shinkawa County, and now the Godaisho is fighting with Kaga Etsuchu Ichibashi Sodai.
I don’t know how Ishiyama Honganji Temple will react, or whether the Master Mianru will be angry and use the law to launch a new attack on Hokurikudo. "
Akechi Mitsuhide looked at the new retainer who had come to Mino's hometown and saw that she was worried, so he smiled.
"What nonsense are you talking about?
It was clearly a sneak attack on Takaoka Castle by the Yuezhong Kaga Yixiang Zong, which disturbed the imperial garrison. Xinchuan County Yixiang Zong raised troops to respond.
The Imperial Guard was forced to counterattack, and the Echigo army had no choice but to clear out Shinkawa County in order to find a way out. "
Saito Rizo thought to himself, intelligence has been coming in one after another these days. Isn't Akechi Mitsuhide's statement inconsistent with the facts?
But when she looked up, Akechi Mitsuhide was also smiling at her, and she suddenly woke up.
Hokurikudo had always been shameless towards the clan, so Mitsuhide Akechi was not stingy and poured all the dirty water on them.
What are the facts? Can it be eaten?
Shiba Yiyin has never wanted to have a head-on conflict with Yixiang Zong, and he has also tried to cover up the incident in Xinchuan County.
Even before the incident happened, it was already hinted that Mitsuhide Akechi and Yono Takada would find a way to appease Master Xianru.
The Hokurikudo Ichibuki clan didn't know what Yoshigan was thinking. They were afraid of the Uesugi Jinbo coalition's coming, so they actually chose to strike first.
Militarily, Spo Yiyin was caught off guard, but he also gave up the political initiative to the Spo family.
Now it is no longer time for Akechi Mitsuhide to find a way to prove to Ishiyama Honganji that the Shiba family did not deliberately destroy the temple and kill the nuns in Shinkawa County.
Rather, Master Xian Ru wanted to prove to the Shiba family that he did not issue a decree to order the Hokurikudo Ichikai clan to attack the governor of the Shiba family, the imperial office, and the leader of the local powerful faction in the shogunate.
Originally, Xianru Shangren could also choose to break the situation violently. Shiba Yiyin fought fiercely in Yuezhong, and the counterattack caused huge casualties to Yixiang Zong, and Yixiang Zong simply turned his back.
But now, Master Xianru may not dare to fall out.
Because Yoshihiro Shiba asked Mitsuhide Akechi and Harano Takada to find a way, they actually played some tricks and got a huge bargaining chip.
Saito Rizo looked at Mitsuhide Akechi, who was holding the pearl of wisdom, and asked.
"My Lord, you went to the Imperial Palace today and gained something?"
Akechi Mitsuhide answered with a smile.
"I stood up hard in front of the general and expressed my attitude on behalf of the Shiba family. My family will never accept the shogunate's recognition of the Nanban religion and the granting of missionary rights.
Have you not seen how moved the people from the Tendai Sect and the Shingon Sect were? The masters of the Shingon Sect tried their best to praise me for my piety. "
Saito Toshizo was speechless.
Flois's entry into the capital was secretly arranged by Takada Harano, and Akechi Mitsuhide found someone to help him, and he followed the Ninagawa family lineage, the acting official of the political office.
Akechi Mitsuhide brought people to Kyoto, but he himself became the protector of Buddhism and worked hard within the shogunate to prevent the Nanman Sect from obtaining missionary rights.
Isn't this too shameless?
Akechi Mitsuhide felt amused when he saw her unnatural expression. Saito Rizo brought Saito Ryuuki to join Akechi Mitsuhide. Akechi Mitsuhide had a good impression of this old family member from Mino.
The Akechi family and the Saito family were already married, and they were considered distant relatives.
Coupled with the desperate relationship with Saito Ryuuki, Akechi Mitsuhide felt at ease with her, and many things were slowly revealed to her.
But what happened today seemed a bit shocking and frightened people, Akechi Mitsuhide explained with a smile.
“Even if I don’t come forward, the Nanman Cult will not be able to get the right to preach.
The Tendai Sect has already reached out to the Odaisho, and the Ashikaga General will give him some face. What's more, the Nanman Cult couldn't offer anything to tempt the general.
Kyoto is the center of recent times and even the world, and business is very prosperous. The Nanman people are best at commercial concessions, and they cannot shake the general's will.
The Nanman iron cannons had long been imitated by the Sakai Port merchants and the Kii people. Unless they were willing to offer better craftsmanship to the shogunate, it would be useless.
Just sending out a few finished products has no effect. The general's eyes are not that shallow. "
Saito Rizo nodded in agreement.
The shogunate had a cornucopia of castle towns in Kyoto, so it didn't care much about the benefits of Nanman trade. Even if the Nanman Sect's missionary rights cannot be negotiated, there will still be commerce and trade.
But if Ashikaga Shogun opened the door to the Nanman Sect, it would be difficult to explain to the Buddhist forces in Kyoto.
These sects have been entangled with the shogunate for two hundred years, and their relationship is intricate. It really pissed off the sects and was not conducive to the rule of the shogunate.
