From the standpoint of the Ashikaga Yoshiji, Yoshigan Shiba, Teruhora Uesugi, and Ushimasa Hojo were all bastards who bullied the Ashikaga family of Kamakura.
The Kamakura Ashikaga family was tossed back and forth by these bastards, and she sat on top like a clown wearing a crown of monkeys, and her life became a joke.
Ashikaga Yoshiji felt deep hatred in his heart, but he did not dare to show any dissatisfaction. He could only look at the faces of all the forces and accompany them to continue their righteous performance.
Shiba Yiyin never strayed from the righteousness of the shogunate, and the Hojo clan was indignant at the Kansai people bullying the Kanto people. The two of them were talking about things in a completely different way, and they couldn't even urinate into the same pot.
Diplomacy means everyone speaks his own words, and only says things that are beneficial to one's own side. Whether one should accept what the other party says depends on one's own interests.
The first verbal collision between the two sides, neither one wanted to be at a disadvantage, and they were mocking and sarcastic. The negotiations have not yet begun, but the atmosphere in the palace is already tit-for-tat and full of gunpowder.
Hojo Umasa retorted a few words and looked at Hojo Genan beside him. The old fox smiled slightly and said.
"Today is a discussion about the chaos in Kanto, and the imperial office is a guest from afar. But as a witness, I'm afraid it's not appropriate?"
Yiyin was alert, always feeling that this old fox was going to cause trouble, so he said carefully.
"The shogun is the pillar of the military family and has the power to arbitrate all matters in the world.
His Highness Uesugi went to Kyoto and wrote a tearful letter to the Hojo family for bullying the Kanto generals and massacring famous Kanto families.
Lord Minami was very angry and approved His Highness Uesugi to inherit the Yamauchi Uesugi family and inherit the Kanto administration. As a righteous master, he went south to Kamakura to hold a ceremony to bring order to the chaos.
I was ordered to accompany him all the way to witness this incident, and of course I had to speak out for justice. "
Shiba Yoshigan didn't want to be led by Hojo Genan, so he simply spoke out about the evil deeds of the Hojo family and tried to take the initiative.
Hojo Genan raised his eyes and saw Ashikaga Yoshiji, who was sitting in danger like a wooden sculpture, and Uesugi Terutora, who was relaxing and watching the show, said slowly.
"Odaisho, as far as I know, you are not just waiting to come to Kamakura to watch the ceremony so leisurely.
You have been in Kanto for nearly two years. You have established the Kanto Palace in Echigo and gathered the imperial family to become a force. Echigo's army moved south, and you also joined the war.
I dare to ask, in your mind, which one is more important, the Kantō Palace or the Kantō General?
One more question, the Echigo army is fighting against the Hojo family. Is your stance fair as a witness here? "
Yoshihiro Shiba originally established the Kanto Agency because he had no roots in Kanto. He could only use his sword to pick up the tiger skin of the direct lineage of Genji in Kawachi to quickly expand his power.
In fact, this matter is quite taboo.
The power of the shrine in the Ashikaga Shogunate's institutions shrunk and it was reduced to the Kyoto Security Brigade. Usually I just collect taxes and check the gates in Kyoto Castle Town.
When the Miyoshi family entered Kyoto, the butler of the service house, the Isshiki family, did not dare to show up. He ran back to his home base in Tango Kingdom overnight, which shows what a state of decline the service house has become.
But in Kanto, the meaning of a shrine is different.
Minamoto Yoritomo established the prototype shogunate service office in Kamakura, pioneered the royal family system, condensed the Kanto Princess Warriors into one fist, and conquered the world of the samurai family.
Kamakura, the shrine, is an honor that cannot be desecrated in the hearts of the Ji warriors in Kanto who remember their past glory. How can it be abused by others.
Yoshigan Shiba established the Kantō shrine in order to take advantage of the Kanto samurai family's special feelings for the shrine to quickly build up his base in Kanto.
But everything has its pros and cons, and doing so will have to endure the questioning and criticism of many conservative Kanto warriors, and it is even suspected of cannibalizing the Kanto system.
He kept claiming to be an envoy, but he single-handedly brought up the Kanto Palace, a samurai group disguised as an imperial family, to participate in the Echigo army's southward war, which would inevitably arouse the resentment of some samurai families.
Hojo Genan took advantage of this point to attack him, but Yoshigami didn't take it seriously.
The combined battle of Sano and his family has been fought, and the Hojo family has suffered a devastating military defeat. It's too late now to ask whether it's in compliance with the rules or not.
The Echigo army won all the battles and forced the Hojo family to come to Kamakura for negotiations. Now you are saying that the winner is not glorious enough? What did you do early?
The food has been served. Can you tell me whether it should be boiled or stir-fried? Anyway, it’s all cooked.
Yoshigan didn't know why Hojo Genan would find this point to attack him? It doesn't matter if you scratch your itch. Was this a mistake on her part, or was she doing it deliberately to lead to something else?
Yiyin thought for a while and said.
"His Royal Highness Uesugi went south to Kamakura and succeeded to the position of governor of Kanto. Who would have thought that the Hojo family was so bold that they dared to disobey General Ashikaga's imperial orders and resist them with force.
As a last resort, I had no choice but to call on loyal people to escort His Highness Uesugi southward. This is a teacher of justice, what is wrong with him?
As for the shrine, it was originally an institution under the shogunate that managed the imperial family. The Kanto Service Office is nothing more than the branch of the Kyoto Service Office located in Kanto.
Please stop some people from making random assumptions and interfering in the internal affairs of the shogunate. Don't sow discord, I have great respect for the Kanto tradition. "
Yoshigan placed all the responsibility for the army's march southward on the Hojo family. It was you who rebelled and resisted the general's orders, which led to the Echigo army's armed march southward.
Anyway, it’s all your fault, it’s all your fault!
As for the Kanto shrine, the shogunate already had a shōshō institution. What if I build an overseas agency in Kanto?
The structure of the Ashikaga shogunate originated from the Kamakura shogunate, but the actual power of the shrine was downgraded from the Ministry of Defense to the Metropolitan Police Department, but the status is still there.
Yoshihiro came to Kanto and saw that the rebels were too fierce. Can't he ask the Kyoto Police Department to build a police station in Kanto to protect him?
With a few words, he threw the blame to the Hojo family and turned himself into a white lotus. Yoshigan looked at Hojo Genan with an innocent face, blinking his big double-lidded eyes.
Hojo Umasa couldn't help but snorted and interjected.
"What a desperate situation. This is the fault of my Hojo family."
Yiyin said sarcastically.
"I hope His Highness Hojo can show sympathy."
The two people's cold and stern eyes met, as if there were lightning and flint intersecting. Then they all showed polite smiles, seeming to be close friends.
Uesugi Teruhora, who was standing above, was watching clearly and felt something was wrong. It was obviously Uesugi Hojo who was conferring on the chaos in Kanto, but the talking point of the Hojo family was always centered on Yoshigan Shiba.
What are they going to do?
Yoshigan Shiba, who was in the game, just felt a little weird. Teruhu Uesugi, who was outside the game, had already discovered that the Hojo family seemed to be dividing the connection between Yoshigan Shiba and her.
Terutora Uesugi frowned and was about to join the battle circle, disrupting the rhythm of the Hojo family. No matter what they are planning, we can no longer let them lead the conversation.
But before she could speak, Hojo Umasa's mouth curled up into a sneer, mockingly.
"Otai Suo is truly upright.
When I heard about the Kyoto Incident and Miyoshi's regicide, I was also shocked and saddened. I thought that Odaisho was the same as me, no, he should be more sad and angry than me.
Who knew you would have the leisure to bear witness for us in Guandong? You are truly selfless. "
Yiyin sneered.
"My mission to Kanto is a mission given to me by General Ashikaga. If I don't do this well, I won't have the face to return to the near future and explain it in front of her tomb.
Didn't the Hojo family weep all the time in Odawara Castle, vowing to avenge the death of the shogun? Are you urging me to lead troops back with me? "
The Hojo family would not send troops to Luo to fight for others, the Hojo clan said solemnly.
"If the Kanto samurai family is united as one, the Hojo family will never be content to lag behind others."
Sibo Yiyin looked at him from the corner of his eyes, with a look of disdain on his face, and snorted.
"The Hojo family is interested."
Are all the Kanto warriors united? Each of the three countries of Ueno, Musashi, and Sagami has their own evil intentions, not to mention the other countries in the eight states. The Hojo family doesn't keep their word, they just find excuses to cheat.
The Hojo clan has a clear and shameless political appearance.
"With the death of Ashikaga Shogun, the samurai family all over the world lost a pillar. It's a pity that Godaisho has not yet married into the Gosho, and is already separated from Kōkata-sama in life and death.
You have gone through life and death to revive the Sibo family and are respected by martial arts families all over the world. I think I have a strong destiny and no worries about myself, so I hope that I will be spared my sorrow. "
As soon as Hojo Ushimasa finished speaking, the atmosphere in the palace suddenly froze, and the expressions of countless samurai family members changed drastically.
Uesugi Teruhu's eyes widened, he stood up and cursed.
"Hojo Ujimasa! How dare you talk nonsense! Slander Your Majesty!"
The samurai families sitting where the Kanto attendant was sitting all showed murderous intent. The island was fierce, the mountain was prosperous, and Sanada Nobushige was all holding the hilt of his sword. She must use the blood of Hojo Ujimasa to repay her humiliation to her lord.
Hojo Genan was also shocked. She didn't expect Hojo Umasa to speak like this.
On the one hand, the emperor's order was harsh, which on the one hand humiliated Shiba Yiyin, a man who did not abide by his husband's ways and showed his face outside. Using a man's body to act as a daughter does not conform to the traditional image of a virtuous husband and a good father in the Wu family.
On the other hand, it's not like he was insinuating that General Ashikaga was so poor that he couldn't bear the kindness of this beauty, so he was beaten to death by Yoshigan Shiba.
This personal attack has crossed the diplomatic bottom line and is tantamount to pointing at Shiba Yiyin's nose and scolding him as his wife. If this word gets out, how will Sibo Yiyin behave in the future?
After Hojo Umasa finished speaking, sweat broke out on his forehead. She was going too far and taking a gamble.
If you want to use the imperial flag as a bargaining chip, you must first block Sibo Yiyin's retreat with friendship. Accusing him of not paying attention to his love with Ashikaga Yoshiteru, forcing him to pay the price and take back the imperial flag.
But Shiba Yiyin's image is too perfect, he is benevolent and righteous, unparalleled in battle, has extraordinary beauty and extraordinary temperament. In other words, his personality is too positive and noble, and it is difficult to discredit him.
If you just take out the imperial flag, what if Shiba Yiyin pretends to sacrifice his life for righteousness and reluctantly gives up the imperial flag for the sake of the overall situation?
Not only did the Hojo family fail to steal the chicken, but in order to show their grace, they might even return the imperial flag in vain.
After thinking about it, I can only use the most vicious words to belittle his bond with Ashikaga Yoshiki, so that in order to protect his own image, Yoshihiro must take back the imperial flag, and this price will not be saved.
So, what could be more effective than Kefu’s vicious accusation?
Even if the high-level warriors present were smart enough to distinguish right from wrong, if word spread, Yiyin's reputation would be ruined.
The middle and lower classes don't care about the truth. They like to arrange scandals about those in power. People in power like Yi Yin, who are high-ranking, fair-skinned and beautiful, are even more targets for the middle and lower classes to vent their slander.
When the rumors spread throughout the sixty-six countries, even if Sibo Yiyin was not a slave to his wife, he would become a slave to his wife.
People's mouths make gold, but accumulation destroys bones. It's no wonder that Uesugi Terutora's expression changed drastically, and all the ladies in the Kanto Palace were so angry that they wanted to kill him with their swords.
Hojo Umasa's words were not human, and he ruined the male god in their hearts to the point where they were in a dilemma that they could not explain clearly.
Looking at Yoshigan's stunned eyes, Hojo Umasa subconsciously looked away, feeling guilty in her heart. It is really bad to use such a vile curse on such a lovely person.
I am a beautiful woman, but I am a thief. But war means to win by any means necessary. If you want to blame, blame us, we are the enemy.
Hojo Ushimasa couldn't bear it and couldn't help but think about it. If one day, there are really rumors flying all over the world, leaving you with no place to stay.
No matter what, I'll marry you!
Shiba Yiyin didn't think so much. His three views were those of modern people in previous generations. What kleptocrat? Feudal and superstitious, I don’t care at all.
But he felt more and more that Hojo Ushimasa was setting a trap for him. After a confrontation, not to mention Uesugi Teruhu who was watching and noticed something was wrong, Yoshigan also felt strange.
The Hojo family's firepower was all focused on themselves, and they had no intention of negotiating with Uesugi Teruhu. The knot between the two Guandong leaders cannot be solved, so what time are they wasting on themselves?
While he was thinking about the intentions of the Hojo family, he began to refute the Hojo clan's denunciation theory.
Although he didn't care, he still had to refute these words. If you don't refute, the angry warriors behind you will draw their swords.
Don't talk about the two armies fighting, don't kill the envoy. Even if Hojo Ushimasa and his entourage were really hacked to death, the diplomatic communication channels with the Hojo family would also be completely cut off.
The two sides then descended into a fight to the death, which was of no benefit to anyone.
Yiyin wants to save face, but it cannot overturn the negotiation table. Isn't it just swearing? Who is afraid of whom?
With a frosty face, he pointed at the Kanto Samurai warrior who drew his sword and cursed.
"Asshole! Put down your swords! This is the Hachimangu Dance Hall, and Lord Hachiman is watching us!
how? If you are bitten by a dog, do you still open your mouth and bite it back? It’s not embarrassing! "
Then, he stood up and walked down half a step, pushing Uesugi Teruhu back to his seat after he stood up.
"Your Highness Uesugi, there is no need to be angry with such a bastard. I will make her understand the truth."
Terutora Uesugi looked unkind, but he still endured his anger and was pushed back by Yoshigan. He just stared at Hojo Ushimasa with a sneer.
Hojo Umasa also looked at each other unwilling to be outdone. Although she was the first to speak provocatively, she was still unhappy when someone pointed at her nose and called her a bastard.
Yoshigan stepped down from the throne step by step and walked towards the Hojo clan's political table, speaking as he walked.
"When I heard that during the Han Dynasty, when a husband died and his wife died, public opinion would excuse it by saying that the husband was blessed and the wife was not blessed. The scholar-bureaucrats were willing to marry widows with generous gifts to show their extraordinary status.
During the Song Dynasty, the Celestial Dynasty was tyrannical at home and groveling at the outside. Scholar-officials harshly criticized men's husbands and set up ritual and legal restrictions to torture men.
The Han Dynasty opened up new territories and gained a reputation far and wide, and they never attributed their disasters to one husband! The Song Dynasty lost power and humiliated the country. When it failed externally, it only humiliated its own husband, explaining its own misfortune as the man subjugating his wife!
Today's dynasty, from the emperor to the common people, is proud of the Han Dynasty and ashamed of the Song Dynasty.
You are proud to call yourself Han, but you are ashamed to talk about Song Dynasty! "
