Takada Yono set up a trap and took advantage of the greed of the manager of Tokura to invest Ichizune's money into the Hokurikudo Trading Road and became a business partner of the Shiba family.
Akechi Mitsuhide worked within the shogunate to prevent the Nanman Sect from obtaining missionary rights for the Yixiang Sect, further deepening the cooperation between the two parties.
Whether Master Xianru wants to admit it or not, the Shiba family has become her friendly little friends.
The Hokurikudo Ichibuki clan raided Takaoka Castle with the intention of attacking Shiba Yiyin. How did this happen? The ball was kicked to the feet of Ming Yushou.
There is no point in tracing the source, and no one cares about the truth. The question is whether Mr. Xianru is willing to suffer huge economic and political losses and break with the Spo family.
If you don't want to lose the Sibo family as a friend, Master Xianru doesn't have much choice.
Akechi Mitsuhide is very satisfied with the current situation.
As long as Shiba Yiyin maintains a strong military position in Hokurikudo and is invincible, Master Xianru will definitely not be willing to continue the trouble.
The Nanman Sect is within easy reach, and the Hokurikudo Trading Road also has a share of Ishiyama Honganji Temple. What else is there to fight for? Relatives hate enemies and enemies are happy, not to mention that they can't be beaten.
Knowing that he had fulfilled his master's instructions, Akechi Mitsuhide was in a good mood. She said as she turned her gaze to the two leaders of the same group who were kneeling in wait.
"I heard that Ise Sadaji invited Ninagawa to visit him personally.
Fujibayashi Xing, go and keep an eye on it for me. There's been a lot of trouble in Kyoto recently, so you have to be careful. "
"Hi!"
Fujibayashi bowed and left the room. Fujibayashi secretly glanced at his sister who was leaving, feeling uneasy.
This year, Akechi Mitsuhide had something to do, so he arranged for Fujibayashi to do it. Put aside Fujibayashi Mukuo, the leader of the same group and the governor of the Fujibayashi family.
Fujibayashi Mukuro is not afraid that his sister will take away his position. The two are twin girls. They have shared joys and sorrows since childhood and have a deep relationship.
His mother was killed by Momochi Santao, and Iga country was protected by Shiba Yoshigan. She worked hard to maintain the family business and did not dare to slack off.
If Fujibayashi Xing has the ability, she is willing to give up her position as leader and family governor of the same group and let her sister do it.
What Fujibayashi was afraid of was that Fujibayashi would be tricked. She discovered that Akechi Mitsuhide sent Fujibayashi Xing to work secretly, but her sister did not inform her or leave a file.
Akechi Mitsuhide, the superior officer, is hard to figure out. The Fujibayashi family's dog belongs to Yoshigami Shiba, and is only temporarily lent to Mitsuhide Akechi.
If there is any mistake or omission in the future, and there is no proof that Fujibayashi is working for Mitsuhide Akechi, Fujibayashi will have to bear the blame.
Fujibayashi asked her several times and warned her sister, but she ignored them all.
Now Mitsuhide Akechi delegates everything in Kyoto to Fujibayashi, while Fujibayashi can only do insignificant chores in Kitaiga. This situation is very wrong.
Fujibayashi Mukuro was still thinking about what was on his mind, but Akechi Mitsuhide was writing a letter calmly and calmly. It was a letter to Master Xian Yu of Ishiyama Honganji Temple.
She glanced at the worried Fujibayashi and the thoughtful Saito Rizo, and couldn't help but raise a smile at the corner of her mouth.
———
In the tea room of Ise Mansion, the tea master served the tea soup and asked the two martial arts masters to taste it.
Ise Sakyo clapped his hands, and the attendants bowed and left together with the tea master, leaving the tea room to the master and the guest Ninagawa Makoyo.
After everyone left, Ise Sadakyo bowed slightly to Ninagawa Makoyo.
"My dear, I didn't expect you to really come."
Ninagawa himself bowed in return and said with complicated emotions.
"Sir, you are the deacon of the political office after all, my superior officer."
"Yes, you are interested."
Ise Sadakyo was holding the tea soup, in a daze, and suddenly said.
"Back then, this mansion was bustling with people. Now, you are the only one who dares to come."
Ninagawa personally saw that her temples were gray, and she seemed to have aged ten years in just one year, and he couldn't bear it.
After all, Ise Sakyo was the chief among the ministers and once held great power. Now that he has been suppressed by Ashikaga Yoshiteru in such a desolate way, Ninagawa himself is also heartbroken, and the rabbit is dead and the fox is sad.
The general has a strong temperament and is eager for quick success, and his attitude towards his subordinates is even more like that of Shun Chang and Ni.
Ninagawa's work as acting official in the government office was not comfortable, and it was far less practical than when Ise Sadakyo was in power and the ministers were monolithic.
But now it's too late to say anything.
The Muromachi shogunate is headed by the Ashikaga shogunate and is in charge of governance. The center of the shogunate in Kyoto is mainly divided into four parts. The service office, the political office, the inquiry office, and the evaluation office.
During the Kamakura shogunate period, the imperial court had great power, managed the imperial family, and served as the general administration of the world's military. After the establishment of the Ashikaga family, the four families took turns to govern the shrine, which was called the four positions.
After that, the imperial family system was gradually replaced by the guardian system, and the palace was gradually reduced to maintaining public security in Kyoto, and its rights were greatly reduced.
The documents managed by the bureau were questioned, and the assessors participated in the shogunate's review and decision-making. After the decline of the shogunate, they gradually lost their real power.
Only the government office still had great power in managing the shogunate's territory, controlling Kyoto's huge commercial taxes, and the donations from various places to the shogunate.
Precisely because they controlled the finances, the deacons of the government offices could represent the shogunate and restrict the military actions of the generals, and the Ise family grew from this.
Ashikaga Yoshiteru relied on the support of local powerful factions and supported the Ninagawa family and attacked the Ise family on the grounds that the shogunate was disloyal by standing on the fence during the war against the Miyoshi family.
The shogunate's territory was seized, and Ninagawa himself was obedient and did not dare to disobey the general. During this year, the power of Ise Sadao gradually collapsed.
This time Ise Sadakyo asked Ninagawa to speak to him personally, but he didn't know what to say. Ninagawa Himashi didn't want to come, but someone asked her to come, so she had no choice but to come and listen.
After only sitting for a while, Ninagawa Akashi was already on pins and needles and managed a smile.
"My lord, what is the purpose of calling me here this time?"
Ise Sakyo took a sip of tea and said.
"There are rumors in the capital that the general is a twin girl. Have you ever heard of it?"
Ninagawa Mikayo replied with a smile.
"I did hear this rumor from the juniors."
Ise Sakyo glanced at her and continued drinking tea.
"This is true."
Ninagawa Makoyo didn't react for a moment and was still laughing. When he understood what she meant, his smile suddenly froze.
"Sir, you can't say this nonsense."
Ise Sakyo said slowly.
"Back then, an ancient general gave birth to twin girls. One girl stayed in the imperial palace, and the other was sent out of Kyoto by the current Grand Imperial Palace. Heaven adopted them and raised them.
Odaisho went to the Nara Basin and left the child outside the Ichijoyin of Kofukuji Temple, but was picked up by the abbot, Master Kakuyu. "
Ninagawa himself preferred not to hear anything. He glanced out from the corners of his eyes from time to time, looking frightened.
"Sir, be careful what you say. Don't say anything nonsense now, lest you get killed."
Ise Sadakyo put down the tea soup and said to Ninagawa Makoto.
"My dear, you are a sensible person, so let me say some sensible words.
The general is unkind and unjust, and is by no means a wise king. My today is your tomorrow. "
