Until he walked out of the quiet room, Hojo Umasa was still in a daze.
This meeting was just a ceremonial visit. The two sides talked some high-sounding nonsense and it ended. It didn't last long.
Hojo Genan followed Hojo Umasa out, looking at her back with a hint of uneasiness. Shiba Yiyin is the most beautiful person in the world. Will the Hojo clan be able to govern? .
After walking out of the protection range of Shiba Tongxinzhong, Hojo Umasa suddenly asked.
"Godaisho has broad shoulders and long legs. He seems to be very tall. Different from other men?"
Throughout the entire interview process, Shiba Yiyin sat in the main seat. Although you can feel that he stands out from the crowd when sitting down, there is no direct visual effect when standing up.
Hojo Genan nodded in reply.
"That's right. From my visual inspection, I am more than a head taller than ordinary Ji warriors. Yutai is extremely talented and is indeed different from ordinary people."
Hojo Genan had seen Yoshigan Shiba standing straight, and he was deeply shocked when he saw it for the first time.
It had been three or four years since Owari came to Luo, and now he has reached eighteen years old. From fifteen to eighteen years old is the time for men to grow taller.
Yiyin was 183 centimeters tall in his previous life. This body came from the previous life and is constantly sprinting towards the height of the previous life.
Generally, the height of the Hime Samurai is between 160 and 165 centimeters. The tall Shima Katsuo is over 170 centimeters tall, and Uesugi Terutora, the pocket-sized queen, is only about 155 centimeters.
At this time, Shiba Yiyin was already half a head taller than Shima Shengmeng, about 175-178 centimeters. In Warrior Ji's eyes, it was extremely majestic.
You know, men in this world are weak because they don't have enough muscle mass. It is not as good as Yiyin in this aspect, and it is even worse in that aspect.
After listening to Hojo Genan's explanation, Hojo Umasa nodded silently, not knowing what he was thinking.
Seeing her silence, Hojo Genan felt even more uneasy. The Governor is in his prime, a time of youthful turmoil. If speculation arises, will it affect the negotiations?
When Yoshigan Shiba was in Kyoto, there were rumors of Tamamo Mae's reincarnation, which fascinated Ashikaga Yoshiteru and made him unwilling to marry him.
After Echigo, the always authoritarian and arrogant Teruhu Uesugi was asked to obey, and he did not know what means of communication were used to make Qinse reconcile.
Although Hojo Genan is unwilling to make random guesses without any evidence, he still has some vague associations with pink.
If the political leader of the Hojo clan is confused by his appearance and charm, and his heart is disturbed, and he makes moves that are not conducive to the Hojo family during negotiations, he will be in trouble.
She originally had the stain of the Sano leader's defeat. This time she came to negotiate to clear the stain, not to add insult to injury.
Hojo Genan pondered whether he should say something about family business. But when he said it at this time, he was trying to hide it, and it seemed that he underestimated the governor's character.
She was in a dilemma when Hojo Umasa suddenly smiled freely and said to Hojo Genan and Hojo Yasunari.
"The prince of the Imperial Palace does not give way to women. When I saw him today, he was truly magnificent. I lost to him, and I did not lose unjustly.
But this negotiation is different. I will definitely defeat him and let him know how powerful the Hojo family is! "
Seeing the high morale of the Hojo clan, Hojo Genan felt relieved and smiled without saying a word. It turns out that the house supervisor is trying to untie his own knot, not to indulge in beauty, which is fine.
Hojo Umasa strode forward. She wanted to go back and have a good rest to recuperate enough to prepare for the afternoon negotiations.
Shiba Yiyin, you gave me a huge defeat and made it impossible for me to get out of your shadow. This time, I will also teach you a profound lesson so that you will never forget me!
———
Hojo Uzumasa left with his head held high and full of fighting spirit. In the quiet room behind her, Shiba Yiyin was still thinking.
The interview just now made him feel something was wrong. Hojo Ushimasa looked at him with a strange look, as if he was confirming something.
What tricks are the Hojo family trying to play? What information does he have that falls into the hands of the Hojo family and will be used by them?
Seeing his frown, Pu Sheng's villager couldn't bear it and stepped forward to ask.
"Odaisuo, there will be a collegial meeting in the afternoon, would you like to take a rest first?"
Shiba Yiyin didn't speak for the first time. He looked at the Hamo clan in front of him and felt a throbbing in his heart.
He suddenly remembered the imperial flag that was lost on the battlefield of Sano Territory. Could Hojo Ushimasa have obtained that imperial flag?
Shiba Yiyin was silent in thought, and the village of Pu Sheng was a little uneasy.
"Odaisuo?"
Yiyin was awakened by her, shook his head with a smile, and said.
"It's okay, I'm just a little tired and need to rest. You can go out first, don't worry."
After comforting the Kamao clan, Yoshigami thought about his guess, he wouldn't be so unlucky, right?
At that time, the battlefield was in chaos, and Hojo's elite troops were defeated like a mountain. There was no time to care about a flag. He must have thought too much.
But if the Hojo family really gets their own imperial flag, it would be really troublesome.
Although Yiyin already has a sword, he still has a golden seal waiting for him to get it. Controlling these two royal treasures of the Ashikaga Shogun, his status was sufficient, and the royal flag was no longer of much value to him.
But the meaning of the Royal Flag is more than that. The royal flag, also known as the Ashikaga White Flag, is the certificate given by the Ashikaga Shogun to the samurai to conquer all directions.
The starting point for Yoshigan Shiba's revival of his family business started with the imperial flag given by Ashikaga Yoshiteru.
Although times have changed and he no longer needs the imperial flag fox's fake tiger power, it does not mean that this imperial flag can be discarded at will.
This royal flag is the beginning of the bond between Ashikaga Yoshiteru and Shiba Yoshigan and has a special meaning. If Ashikaga Yoshiteru survives, the royal flag will be a normal gift. But she died, and this is a relic.
Yoshigami Shiba has always shown himself as a benevolent and righteous king. Ashikaga Shogun is the master in public and his fiancée in private. It is enough that her belongings are destroyed on the battlefield. How can they fall into the hands of the enemy and be destroyed?
In order to protect his own character, if the imperial flag is really not damaged, Yiyin must get it back, even if it costs some money.
Also, Yi Gin secretly glanced at the village of Kamao clan. This child has been depressed since he lost the royal flag. What would she think if the Hojo family got the imperial flag and used it to threaten her?
Yiyin sighed, hoping that he was just overthinking. He put aside his worries and looked into the distance, which was exactly the direction of the White Flag Shrine.
Compared to the imperial flag, he actually wanted the imperial white flag more. The imperial flag is just a special family crest gifted by Ashikaga Shogun, while the imperial white flag is the samurai family's most precious treasure.
Of the two royal white flags at the White Flag Shrine, if he could get the one belonging to the Hachiman Tai Ni Minamoto no Yoshi family, then he would really be overwhelmed by his reputation.
Minamoto no Yori's imperial white flag was of no use.
In the era when Minamoto Yoritomo established the Kamakura shogunate, the samurai family had not yet formed the tradition of inheritance by legitimate sons, and sisters in the family were likely to get a share.
In order to inherit the rights of her descendants, she slaughtered her sisters, leaving only her own bloodline.
Who knew that her husband's family, the Hojo family before the shogunate took power, usurped power after her death and killed her heirs, leading to the death of three generations of Minamoto Yoritomo.
In order to retain power, the former Hojo family asked the emperor for an heir to inherit the position of shogun. The Kawachi Genji family lost its direct lineage for a long time.
At that time, the Ashikaga family was only the closest to the direct line among the Kawachi Genji clan. In order to dispel the suspicion of the Hojo family, the governor of the Ashikaga family remarried Mr. Hojo, and then he passed the test safely.
The daughter of her divorced ex-husband, who was reduced from a legitimate daughter to a concubine, is the ancestor of the Shiba family. This is also the reason why the Shiba family has a special status in the Ashikaga clan.
In a sense, the Shiba family, which does not have the blood of the former Hojo family, has more legitimacy to inherit the direct line of the Kawachi Genji family than the Ashikaga family.
Nowadays, anecdotes have spread around the world that Shiba Yiyin is the most beautiful woman in the world. This is also a blessing from his own blood.
In the martial arts society that values dignity and inferiority, beauties are not only judged by appearance, bloodline and family status are also very important criteria.
Didn’t those Ji warriors who slept with him have excitement in their minds? The man he was fucking had the noblest blood in the world flowing in his body.
What you love to do is actually doing it with your own brain. The intracranial mastery is the real mastery, and the one who feels happy is the real pleasure.
Minamoto Yoritomo's royal white flag was just a symbolic nobility, because no one really cared when her entire family died.
After the Ashikaga family defeated many opponents and seized the direct descendants of the Genji family in Kawachi, they also learned the lessons of Minamoto Yoritomo and reused their relatives. The Ashikaga Ichimon Imperial House forms the foundation of the Ashikaga Shogunate.
But on the other hand, the imperial white flag of the Hachiman Tai Ni Minamoto Yoshi family is the real treasure of the samurai family with deterrent power.
The direct descendants of Kawachi Genji are qualified to become the pillars of the samurai family because she has rewarded the Bandohime samurai and obtained the status of their descendants who have pledged allegiance to them for generations.
In other words, the ancestors of all the martial arts families in the world today have eaten meals rewarded by the Minamoto no Yoshi family. Even if you haven't eaten it, you still have to pretend that you have, and recognize your ancestors who have eaten it, otherwise you won't be able to join the martial arts circle.
If you can get Hachiman Tainiang's Royal White Flag, who else in the world would dare to sing a high profile in front of Yoshigan? The ancestor's imperial white flag is in hand, and everyone in the Wu family counts, who dares to argue with him for status?
Orthodoxy is a vague thing and cannot be snatched openly, otherwise this imperial white flag would have been snatched away long ago. It is too difficult for all martial arts families to admit that the holder is worthy of the Royal White Flag.
Yoshihiro glanced at the White Flag Shrine for the last time, withdrew his gaze and closed his eyes to rest, waiting for the afternoon negotiations.
———
In the afternoon, the wind and snow outside not only did not weaken, but became stronger and stronger.
Sibo Yiyin braved the wind and snow for a moment and came to the dance hall. At this time, the hall was already filled with high-level martial artists from various families, all bowing to him and saluting him.
The Kakizaki Keie of the Uesugi family and others, as well as the Yamanaka Yukimori and others of the Kanto Palace, all looked very ugly. The wind and snow outside are getting heavier and heavier, and the military situation at the station is unknown.
Ashikaga Yoshiji sat on one side of the main seat, and on the other side was Yoshigan Shiba.
Although she was despised by all parties, her status had been recognized by Hojo Ujiyasu and Uesugi Terutora, and she was inexplicably able to secure the position of General of Kanto.
The Kanto samurai family, who followed Uesugi Teruhora and did not retreat, looked unhappy. No one expected that the snowstorm would be so severe. Before Tianwei, the Kwantung Allied Forces were just a swarm of ants, struggling to survive.
Hojo Umasa and Hojo Genan looked at each other with smiles in their eyes.
With Tianwei's help, they will not be at a disadvantage in today's negotiations. So what if the Echigo army reaches Sagami Country? Are you as stubborn as God?
Today's negotiations are just the beginning, and the two sides will definitely see each other anxiously for several days. If there is a snowstorm to help in the next few days, Uesugi Teruhu will not give in even if he doesn't want to.
While Hojo Umasa was saluting, he secretly glanced at Yoshigashi Shiba with the corner of his eyes and raised the corner of his mouth.
Today, I will first give Yoshigashi Shiba a blow, stop Teruhora Uesugi, the strongest supporter, and disrupt the rhythm of the two people's cooperation.
Yiyin ignored the Wu family who were kneeling on the ground and kowtowed on the left and right, and strode forward.
Terutora Uesugi's position is also above the main seat, but half a seat behind him and Ashikaga Yoshiji. At this time, Yiyin's eyes met with hers, and both of them nodded slightly.
Uesugi Teruhora bowed slightly, Yoshigami walked up to his seat, sat upright with his back straight, and asked Zhuji to stand up.
Ashikaga Yoshiji smiled and said to him.
"Today, the Uesugi and Shiba families discuss the chaos in Kanto and specially invite the imperial office to come and bear witness."
Yiyin replied with a smile.
"I just happened to meet at the right time, and I asked Kamakura-don to take charge of the overall situation, so don't worry about me."
The two exchanged polite words.
Terutora Uesugi and Ujiyasu Hojo fought hard for the hegemony of Kanto. But what's ridiculous is that the two people with the highest status in the palace are Yoshigan Shiba and Yoshiji Ashikaga.
As a Kanto shogun recognized by both parties, Ashikaga Yoshiji arbitrated disputes between the Uesugi and Hojo families.
Yoshigan Shiba was an envoy to the shogunate and came to Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine to watch the ceremony for Uesugi Teruhora to inherit the position of governor of Kanto.
The Wu family values etiquette and is hypocritical and pretentious. Everyone understands what is going on, but what needs to be said in the scene must be said, and the process must be followed.
Yiyin said as if nothing had happened.
"I was entrusted by the late Ashikaga General to come to Kanto to observe the succession ceremony of the new Kanto Governor, His Highness Teru Uesugi.
Since Kamakura-den respects it, I won’t be polite and will shamelessly bear witness to Kanto affairs today. "
Yiyin is taking a preemptive strike.
His apparent identity was that of an envoy to the shogunate, and Ashikaga Yoshiteru personally admitted that Uesugi Teruatora's position as the Kanto leader was indeed true. He wanted to nail this matter to death and leave no room for the Hojo family to refute.
Teruhora Uesugi wanted to laugh when he saw Yoshigage telling lies with a serious look on his face. Shiba Yoshigan went into battle to kill people with his sword in Sano. What kind of envoy is he? Still pretending to be impartial here.
Hojo Umasa said coldly.
"What the imperial office said is wrong. Kantō is the Kantō of the Kwantung martial arts family.
The shogunate sent envoys to visit us, and we, the Kanto warriors, treated each other with courtesy, but it seemed against the rules to interfere with Kanto affairs. "
The Kanhachishu rebelled under the leadership of the Kamakura Ashikaga family. Although they were defeated by the shogunate, the shogunate did not have anything to do with the Kanto system. They could only kick the Kamakura Ashikaga family out of the guardianship system.
Yoshigan Shiba said that he was a Kanto governor recognized by the shogunate. This was to confirm the justice of Uesugi Teruhora. How could the Hojo Ujimasa agree.
She held high the banner of the Kansai shogunate to oppress the Kanto samurai family, spoke righteous words, and had forgotten her origins.
Ise, the first governor of the Go-Hojo family, came to Kanto and was a pawn to help the shogunate deal with the Kanto generals. This was the rise of the Go-Hojo family.
The girl who slayed the dragon back then finally became a new evil dragon. The Hojo family defeated the Kanto system, but became the new overlord of Kanto, as if they regarded themselves as the leaders of the Kanto samurai family.
Ashikaga Yoshiji really couldn't laugh at this absurd drama in the palace. No one took her seriously at all, and everyone's strength was based on trampling on the dignity of the Kamakura Ashikaga family.
