Hosokawa Motonsune thought for a while.
"Establish another general? The one from Kofukuji Temple?"
In a world dominated by women, the reproduction of a family depends on women having offspring, which is not as lush as in a world dominated by men.
Although the Ashikaga family has a large number of relatives, there are not many close relatives with the Ashikaga Miao name.
The Kamakura Ashikaga family was expelled from the inheritance rights by the Ashikaga Shogun family as early as the Kanto Rebellion. Only the Ten Kingdoms of Kanto recognized this branch of Kanto Shogun, Kamakura Kōkō.
As for the Ashikaga Shogun family in Kyoto, there are currently no heirs. Except for Ashikaga Yoshiki, the twin girl from Yamato Kōfukuji Temple, she is considered the most recent bloodline.
Hosokawa Fujitaka shook his head and said.
"Probably not.
Ise Sakyo became an internal spy this time, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was a traitor to the shogunate.
She would not want an adult woman from the Ashikaga family to become a general, because sooner or later they would liquidate the Ise family that led the wolf into the house.
The best way is to learn from the powerful ministers in the emperor's court, support the male emperor, and evade the imperial power as regent. "
Hosokawa Motonsune narrowed his eyes.
"Ashikaga Teru-kun?"
Hosokawa Fujitaka nodded.
"Yes, it is the younger brother of Ashikaga Yoshiteru, Ashikaga Teru-kun. He is the male general that the Ise Sadaect wants."
Hosokawa Motonsune asked again.
"What about Mitsuhide Akechi?"
Hosokawa Fujitaka hesitated and shook his head helplessly.
"Who knows what this crazy woman will do? I can't guess.
Lord Kenshin is a man, so the best choice for the Shiba family is to join forces with the Ashikaga Shogun. Use the name of Hanoi Genji's direct descendants to pacify the world.
The Shiba family is the closest family branch to the Ashikaga family among all the relatives. If the two sides merge, the descendants can legitimately branch off and strengthen the Sibo family.
If Mitsuhide Akechi had not conspired to cause trouble, this incident would actually be a good thing for the Lisboa family. "
Hosokawa Motonsune sighed.
“It’s too late to say that now.
From this point of view, after Miyoshi went to Luo, the situation in Kyoto was unpredictable, and it was difficult for us to deal with it. "
Hosokawa Fujitaka smiled.
"That's not necessarily the case."
Hosokawa Motonsune glanced at his daughter.
"Tell me carefully."
Hosokawa Fujitaka knocked on the tatami in front of him and said in a deep voice.
"Once chaos breaks out in Kyoto, we will bring back the twin girls from Kofukuji Temple to protect them, watch the situation, and wait for opportunities."
Hosokawa Motonsune remained calm.
"You go on."
Hosokawa Fujitaka elaborated.
"The Miyoshi family hopes to seize the general and command the world, but this is unacceptable to the Ise Sadakado and to us.
First, the shogunate samurai family would not treat Miyoshi Yoshitsugu as a dog.
With Mihaoshi Changqing's female talent and rough strategy, all the shogunate families, except for Kenshin Gong, were no match. But who is Miyoshi Yoshitsugu? How can a mediocre person who just took advantage of the civil strife in the shogunate to go to Luo control the shogunate.
Secondly, although neither we nor Ise Sada can stand Ashikaga Yoshiteru, we have more choices.
Ise Sakyo betrayed the Ashikaga family and led the Miyoshi family to Luo, which was tantamount to rebellion. She only had a way out if Ashikaga Teru-kun came to power.
But we are different, we are loyal to the shogunate. As long as we go to Kofukuji Temple to protect the Ashikaga heirs during the civil strife in Kyoto, we will be invincible.
Ashikaga Yoshiteru was captured by the Miyoshi family. We can not recognize the puppet shogunate of the Miyoshi family.
Ise Sakyo adopted the old practice of male emperors and supported male generals. But the Wu family started with swords and guns, so we don’t need to pay attention to this inexplicable male general.
In this way, the Ashikaga twin girls in our hands will be useful. "
Hosokawa Motonsune said word by word.
"Strange, goods, good, home."
Hosokawa Fujitaka looked up to the sky and sighed.
"There has been internal strife in the shogunate and recent turmoil. Duke Kenshin will definitely rush back from Kanto to bring order to the chaos.
When he returns, our local powerful faction in the shogunate has the strength and the obligation to bring order to the Kyoto shogunate.
Ashikaga Yoshiteru lost his virtue, lost Kyoto, and became a puppet. He was a disgrace to all the Ashikaga generals and must abdicate in favor of others.
It was our merit to protect the new general, and it was another merit to assist in the re-establishment of the shogunate. The shogunate and generals in the future will be grateful to us. "
Hosokawa Motonsune looked at his daughter's coy behavior and nodded slowly.
Sanbuchi Haru, who was on the side, suddenly sneered and interrupted.
"Good idea.
That boy Yiyin is unparalleled in battle, and no one in the Wu family has dared to go toe-to-toe with him in recent times. You help the new general take back Kyoto and build the shogunate, and you will take all the credit for your hard work.
The shogunate was newly established, and there were internal and external difficulties. Under the guise of stabilizing people's hearts, you can then find someone in the shogunate to stir up public opinion and implore Hosokawa Sika to join forces.
The new general will definitely be willing to reward you, the man who made the most contribution, and bring the boy Yiyin together to get married. "
Hosokawa Fujitaka's face turned red and he lowered his head and said nothing. But member Mibuchi Haru refused to let her go and said directly.
“Only by marrying off Yoshiyoshi Shiba can he be freed from his status as a direct descendant of the Genji family in Kawachi.
The new general must be very afraid that Ashikaga Yoshiteru's imperial office will threaten her new shogunate. The best way is to marry him off and wash away the traces of Ashikaga Yoshiki.
Fujitaka, you are so thoughtful. "
Hosokawa Fujitaka was speechless by Mibuchi Haru, but Hosokawa Motonsune verbally scolded him.
"Harumi, that's enough! Fujitaka did the right thing, and I fully support it.
I have to admit that it was the biggest mistake of my life when I returned to Beijing to prevent Yoshigan Shiba from marrying into the Izumi Hosokawa family. The Qilin son of the Shiba family has no relationship with our family from now on.
I misunderstood this matter. I feel sorry for you, Haruya, who arranged the marriage, and I also feel sorry for Fujitaka, who is deeply in love.
Now, since it is possible to make up for my mistakes, let's do it with all my strength.
The Izumi Hosokawa family welcomes Yoshigan Shiba to marry me. If he wishes, I can retire and let Fujitaka succeed the family governor.
What's more, it's okay for Shiba Yoshigan to take charge of the overall situation and handle internal and external affairs on behalf of the three families of Shiba Hosokawa and Mibuchi. "
Mibuchi Haru looked at Hosokawa Mototsune and Hosokawa Fujitaka in front of her, they were deeply in love with each other as mother and daughter, and she felt disdainful in her heart.
Back then, Shiba Yoshigan helped the Izumi-Hosokawa family get back Izumi Country, and helped the Mibuchi family get Kitakawachi.
As the leader of the Hosokawa Mibuchi family, Hosokawa Mototsune refused to accept the integration of the Shiba family into the two groups for the sake of his own power and position.
In the end, Izumi Hosokawa's retainers were forced to rebel and find the young master Hosokawa Fujitaka to come forward. Mibuchi Haru became the villain and drove Hosokawa Motonsune to live in seclusion.
Fortunately, the situation has gradually become clearer over the past year. Under the auspices of Yoshihiro Shiba, the Shiba family is flourishing and can even expand its territory in Kanto.
Hosokawa Motonsune regretted it and agreed, so why the hell did he go there so early?
Ignoring the general's predicament and peeking into the general's palace, he discovered that this mother and daughter were unfaithful and unjust, and turned out to be his blood relatives.
Mibuchi Haru was dizzy for a moment, his tongue pressed against the roof of his mouth, and he couldn't hold on.
Why let Hosokawa Fujitaka be the governor of the family and hand over all the power to Yoshihiro Shiba? It's all a lie! They just took a fancy to Shiba Yiyin and wanted to swallow him up, including his family and property!
Hosokawa Motonsune wants the family business, and Hosokawa Fujitaka wants people. They are really a good mother and daughter who cherish each other.
