A direct descendant of Kawachi Genji, he was honored as Ashikaga Shogun, and his imperial residence was located in the Muromachi area of Kyoto.
The third shogun, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, wielded power over the world and expanded the imperial palace. She placed exotic flowers and plants presented by the guardian daimyo from various places in the courtyard. They bloomed in all seasons, so it was called the Flower Palace.
Afterwards, the Eighth Generation Shogun was in chaos, and the Flower Palace was destroyed in the war. In the future, several generations of shoguns tried their best to repair it, but as the Ashikaga shogunate's family declined day by day, the imperial palace also lost its glory.
The general is respectfully called the Imperial Palace, and the previous generals are respectfully called the Imperial Palace.
In the same way, the general's husband lived in the royal palace and was honored as the imperial palace. The husband of the previous general was respectfully called Da Yutai Suo.
Yoshigan Shiba accepted Ashikaga Yoshiteru's wedding gift. Therefore, he was respectfully called Yutaisu by the warriors.
At this time, Ashikaga Yoshiteru's father, the contemporary Odaisho, who actually lived in Odai, was dining with his children and enjoying family happiness.
Odai was in the main position, looking at Ashikaga Teru-kun below, being teased by his sister, smiling without dignity.
Fortunately, there are no outsiders here except the waiter, and the Grand Imperial Office does not want to preach with a straight face. He hoped to have a few words with Ashikaga Yoshiki in a relaxed atmosphere today.
He didn't speak, and the two siblings were even more unscrupulous. In the end, Ootaisuo had no choice but to give up and coughed heavily.
Ashikaga Yoshiki has been under a lot of pressure recently. Although everything went well, it was so smooth that she felt unsteady under her feet and feared that she would miss the mark.
Today, I had dinner with Huijun, who was close to me, and talked freely without restraint, which also relieved my tense nerves.
After hearing her father's subtle hint, she knew it was time to restrain herself, so she bowed slightly.
"It's me, Meng Lang, who can atone for my father's sins."
Ashikaga Teru-kun on the side also followed suit and confessed obediently. Odaisho shook his head and said with a smile.
"The general seems to have accumulated a lot of pressure, and it is appropriate to relax occasionally.
Being able to feel at ease in the royal palace is also a blessing to the general who has been working hard outside.
However, everything should be done too much, and don't be overindulgent just for the sake of temporary pleasure. "
Ashikaga Yoshiki frowned slightly, his father meant something in his words.
Ashikaga Teru-kun on the side was innocent and charming. He bowed to the ground and said after getting up.
"Father, my lord, my sister was just trying to make me happy, so she said something inappropriate.
Please father punish me, don't blame my sister. "
The Ootaishuo glanced at Hui Jun, who looked eager to protect his sister, and secretly shook his head.
Ashikaga Teru-kun was born late and did not experience any setbacks. Living in the imperial palace, with adequate food and clothing, my thoughts, words and actions are too simple.
Fortunately, Odaisho and the Shogun never thought of asking him to bear any responsibility, and it was not a bad idea to be a silly and sweet Ashikaga son. Just find him a happy wife and concubine in the future and keep him safe throughout his life.
Teru-kun is childish, but Ashikaga Yoshiteru is not like that, she replied calmly.
“Overcorrection must be overcorrected, and some things cannot be avoided and can only be regretted.
Father, have you heard any rumors and are you worried about me? "
Ootaisho sighed and said.
"For more than a year, you have been in great power, and you are far more powerful than your mother. I can't hear any rumors, and my ears are full of flattery.
But people are unpredictable. The less you hear the truth, the more you have to be cautious.
The husbands and sons of various Kyoto fraternity families are alienating me, and this is very wrong. Especially after you dealt with those ministers who had been to Xingfukuji Temple, the Imperial Palace was even more devastated.
In the past, there were people who came to plead for the Ise family and complain about the injustice for the Mibuchi family. Now it's better, every family is silent, no one dares to come over to say hello.
The shoguns and ministers have followed the Ashikaga family for two hundred years, and the local powerful faction is the foundation for the shogunate to control the local area. If you have to spare others, spare them. You will not be without them when you rule the shogunate. "
Ashikaga Yoshiteru's eyes flashed, and he asked directly, ignoring his father's intention to plead for the warriors.
"How did mother know about these affairs of the shogunate? Are these rumors about the Ise family, Kofukuji Temple, etc. spread to the imperial court?
Who said I have to deal with Ise Sadato? Who says I can't tolerate those ministers who have been to Kofukuji Temple? Who is driving a wedge between me and the ministers?
With ulterior motives! "
Ootaisuo didn't expect that his daughter would simply deny it. He was stunned for a moment, and there was a burst of anger in his heart.
He painstakingly managed the brotherhood in Kyoto, contacted ministers and family men of powerful local factions, and buffered conflicts for Ashikaga Yoshiteru's governance.
There is a tacit understanding between the two, but Ashikaga Yoshiteru is the one who makes a fool of himself in the front, and his strong temper is called a strong-willed one.
Da Yutai tried to win over and comfort him behind his back, and spoke softly to the men of the Wu family, leaving room for them.
Now Ashikaga Yoshiki pretends not to understand and ignores the unfavorable news from the Brotherhood.
Ootai's heart is sinking, what happened to his daughter? More than a year of being arbitrary has given Ashikaga Yoshiki a taste of power that she has never had before, and she is no longer willing to make any compromises.
Dagodaisuo said while barely holding back his anger.
"Don't deny it, I asked Yagyu Munen and she already told me.
Hosokawa Motonsune and Mibuchi Haru were expelled from Kyoto, Ise Sakyo was waiting for death at home, and all the ministers who had been to Kofukuji Temple were reprimanded and were in panic all day long.
General, what on earth are you going to do? People inside and outside the shogunate are uneasy! "
Ashikaga Yoshiki straightened his back, looked at his father, and spoke every word.
"What do I want to do? I want to restore the Ashikaga family's control over the shogunate, and I want the Ashikaga General to become the most noble man in the world again!"
Da Yutai sighed.
"You are already the most noble person in the world. You are the master of the world. Don't lose the popularity of the world."
Ashikaga Yoshiki laughed.
"Lord of the world? It's been more than a year since I finally understood what it means to have power in hand, and what it means to make one's words a reality.
Since the third generation of shoguns, the Ashikaga family has gradually lost its Kankai trade and lost more than 200 imperial materials stores.
Without the help of the ministers, I would not be able to mobilize even five hundred Ashurima members out of Kyoto. Without the support of local powerful factions, my troops would not be able to leave the mountain city country.
The shogunate they talk about is their shogunate, not the shogunate of my Ashikaga family. They will only act for their own interests.
If General Ashikaga's actions were in their interests, they would support them. If it's not in their interests, I can't do anything about it.
Who am I to be the lord of the world? "
Ashikaga Teru-kun on the side was already frightened by the tit-for-tat confrontation between father and daughter and did not dare to speak.
Odaisho smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said to his angry daughter.
"But you can't remove them all. If that's the case, who will help the Ashikaga family?
I know that ministers and powerful local factions all have selfish motives, but who in the world doesn’t have selfish motives? Give them benefits and let them follow us. This is what generals of all ages have done.
Besides, those ministers who go to Kofukuji Temple, why do you have trouble with them? They are just curious. "
