Akechi Mitsuhide asked, suppressing his smile.
"Hosokawa-hime, what exactly do you want to say?"
Hosokawa Fujitaka said seriously.
"I just want to confirm if you really care about him."
Akechi Mitsuhide squinted his eyes and asked again.
"how do I say this?"
Hosokawa Fujitaka said.
"If you care about him, you shouldn't stop us from supporting His Highness Ashikaga Yoshiaki in going to Luo.
Wada Weimasa and others from the ancestral old party, the powerful local faction of Hosokawa Mibuchi, and the Shiba family all enjoyed the shade under the big tree of the shogunate.
Now, Mitsuhide Akechi has caused turmoil in the shogunate. Even if there is no evidence pointing to the Shiba family, it should not chill our hearts.
You made trouble, acted modestly and did good deeds, and the Spo family got a lot of benefits in the end, but what about us?
Do the Ashikaga old party, local powerful factions, and those ministers in Ninagawa who you ordered around deserve to be manipulated by the Shiba family?
Everyone was so scared, and finally watched your Sibo family move to a higher level?
The Shiba family cannot take all the benefits. They must give everyone a way out so that the shogunate can have long-term peace and stability. "
These few words from Hosokawa Fujitaka came from her heart. The sincere words are not for Mitsuhide Akechi, but for Yoshihiro Shiba.
Although Ashikaga Yoshiki, a strong and passionate man, made the shogunate ladies embarrassed. Everyone stood by and watched her misfortune.
But Akechi Mitsuhide, with the tacit approval of the ladies, went even further. Kyoto has been ravaged by the Miyoshi family to this day, and the majesty of the shogunate has been wiped out, which is not good for anyone.
If Yoshiyoshi Shiba comes back to take charge of the overall situation in Luo and control the future of the new shogunate, what will others think?
The Shiba family started the turmoil with one hand and quelled the turmoil with the other. They controlled the entire shogunate and treated all the samurai families of the shogunate like monkeys?
This is not how the political game of the shogunate is played. The Shiba family has violated the rules and will be punished!
Hosokawa Fujitaka thought that by getting together with Shiba Yoshigan, the Hosokawa and Shiba families could merge. She certainly didn't want to see the Shiba family in a desperate political situation, isolated from all the shogunate samurai families.
Akechi Mitsuhide looked at Hosokawa Fujitaka's sincere look and couldn't help but chuckle.
Akechi Mitsuhide and Hosokawa Fujitaka have been together for many years, and the two have become friends, but she despises Hosokawa Fujitaka at this time.
She is from a famous family in the old era. She clings to the decadent Ashikaga Shogunate and refuses to let go because she is afraid of losing the benefits of the old system.
These vested interests are cowardly and bad. They are both conservative parties and capitulationists. They have no ideals and do not want to change. They can only live in peace. They are a group of weaklings in the true sense.
Hosokawa Fujitaka did not understand Akechi Mitsuhide's ideals and beliefs at all, and believed that what she did was lustful and that she was using herself to save others.
I coveted Shiba Yiyin's body, thinking that others also wanted the thing in their crotch. Today she can truly consider Shiba Yigen, and tomorrow she can kill Akechi Mitsuhide without blinking an eye.
Because Akechi Mitsuhide broke up the Ashirisbo Convergence, will one day in the future threaten the Hosokawa-Sibo Convergence that Hosokawa Fujitaka dreams of?
Being both responsible and upright, and yet able to speak so righteously, really opened Akechi Mitsuhide's eyes, and made him view his former close friend in a different light, and even more disdainfully.
Seeing Akechi Mitsuhide laugh out loud, Hosokawa Fujitaka's face instantly darkened.
"Why are you laughing? What's so funny?"
Akechi Mitsuhide wiped his mouth, looked at Hosokawa Fujitaka sincerely, and said.
"Hosokawa Hime, I met a missionary from Nanban in Kyoto before. He was a very interesting person.
She told me a story that I would like to share with you. "
Hosokawa Fujitaka glanced at her suspiciously and nodded.
"All ears."
Akechi Mitsuhide's eyes wandered, looking into the distance, and said.
“In a far away place, there lived a rich man and a poor man next to each other.
On this day, the rich man wanted a cow. With a comfortable life, she could spend enough money to buy a cow from the market without thinking.
The poor were greedy, but she didn't have that much money, so she could only go home and pray to the gods they believed in. And their gods also answered her prayers.
The god said, I know your wish, I will give you a cow.
But the poor man shook his head and said, My wish is not to get a cow, but to make the rich man lose the cow. "
Hosokawa Fujitaka couldn't help but smile and said.
"What a stupid guy. If others lose, you can't get it.
What's the point of her doing this? "
Akechi Mitsuhide turned to Hosokawa Fujitaka with deep eyes and said.
"Hosokawa Hime, you are a wise person and rational enough. But you are of noble birth and have never experienced the despair of having nothing, so naturally you do not understand the thoughts of the poor.
What the poor man wants most is not to own a cow like the rich man. What she wants is for the rich to be like herself, without a cow.
It's impulsive, it's desperate, but it's also fair. "
Hosokawa Fujitaka sneered.
"So, this is your choice, Akechi-sama?"
Akechi Mitsuhide smiled gently and bowed gracefully.
"No, no, I'm just sharing an interesting story with you, don't be suspicious.
You're right, Spoeling cannot stop you from going to Luo in recent times, otherwise you will offend too many people. This is not good for the Spo family.
But this reason is only valid until my master comes back.
The ancient general entrusted me with the golden seal, and my master has the right to go to Luo to avenge her. If you are really determined to make progress, please complete Shangluo before the Lord comes back.
Before the master comes back, I promise that the wave leader will not act rashly in recent times. "
Looking at Hosokawa Fujitaka's satisfied expression, Akechi Mitsuhide's eyes flashed with a trace of ridicule.
Akechi Mitsuhide hopes that Ashikaga Yoshiaki will go to Luo, and he hopes that Oda Nobunaga will go to Luo. He hopes that they will hold the entire Ashikaga shogunate in their hands, and then watch them completely destroy this decadent shogunate.
But she couldn't help but tell the story to Hosokawa Fujitaka, which was quite a bit like a bird knowing the ambition of a swan, but Hosokawa Fujitaka couldn't understand it.
This has nothing to do with IQ, the difference lies in attitude.
The Wu family originated from the manors and the village servants. The emperor and his ministers were aloof, forcing the Wu family to stabilize the world, but they were unwilling to share power.
The Wu family provided money and food, and shed blood and tears, but they were just the targets of being squeezed by the nobles of Tianhuang.
This isn't fair.
The Wu Family World is the result of the joint efforts of all the Wu Family. Over the course of hundreds of years, they worked hard and finally achieved the world of the Wu family.
You famous martial artists are just lucky enough to be the first to get into the parking space and dominate the world. Now, those of you who have occupied the parking space have probably forgotten how you got on.
When the famous family is in a high position, they lower their heads and laugh at the local servants pushing carts, but they forget that they are at the bottom, humbly carrying the entire martial arts world.
This isn't fair.
Live in the broadest place in the world, establish the right position in the world, and practice the way of heaven in the world. If Virtue doesn't match your position, just get out of here!
If one day, the bottom no longer longs for a cow, but curses the top for losing a cow, it will be too late.
To Akechi Mitsuhide, the Ashikaga Shogunate was not important. There is no Ashikaga Shogunate, which is very important.
———
Akechi Mitsuhide's tentacles extend to nearly everywhere, constantly obtaining useful information from all kinds of intelligence to improve his judgment.
As her tentacles, the Nakato Group has also been active in various places in recent times, constantly transmitting information back to Iga Country, which was compiled by Fujibayashi Mukuro and presented to Akechi Mitsuhide's documents.
On this day, a change occurred at the hidden stronghold of the Central Group in Iga. Fujibayashi returned to the station with a few capable men, and suddenly stopped.
She glanced around carefully, formed a ring between her thumb and index finger, put it in her mouth, and made a unique and sharp whistle.
For a while, the surroundings were still as calm as water. Fujibayashi's expression changed drastically and he quickly stepped back.
"Something's wrong, let's go!"
At this time, a person appeared in the shadow of the tree behind him, looking at her with a half-smile. Fujibayashi's figure suddenly froze, and he looked at the person who came, it was Baiji Santafu.
Bai Di San Tai Fu smiled.
"Master Fujibayashi misunderstood. Nothing happened to the stronghold. I am only temporarily taking over it."
Seeing the cold smile of Momochi Santafu, Fujibayashi's heart began to sink. She asked, pretending to be calm.
"Master Baidi, when did you come back from Kanto? What happened to the takeover?
The Central Committee is in the same group as the Army, and rights and responsibilities are clearly defined. Your behavior is ultra vires. "
Bai Di San Taifu smiled with disdain.
The old Iga people walked in troubled times as employees, and the three Jonin families of Hattori, Hyakuchi, and Fujibayashi helped each other.
Back then, Yoshigan Shiba took over Iga country and reorganized the old Iga clan. Most of the countrymen were transformed into local servants and integrated into the territory of the guardianship system.
However, the leaders of the Fujibayashi family and the Momochi family were positioned as intelligence leaders and lost control of the old Iga clan.
The same team in the management of the Fujibayashi family, responsible for spying on the center of the shogunate. The same group as the Baidi Family Management Army is responsible for the intelligence of other forces in recent times.
Later, Shiba Yoshigan went to Kanto to open up new territory and took away the army of the Hundred Land Santaifu. All recent affairs that Bai Dijia was responsible for were also handed over to the Central Committee.
This time Momochi Santao came back with an order from Yoshigan Shiba to find out the truth behind the murder of Ashikaga Yoshiteru. With his own ambition, he wanted to take the opportunity to bring down the Fujibayashi family.
She is very familiar with the methods of the old Iga people and the intelligence network of the same group. Without Fujibayashi's knowledge, he sneaked back.
She took the initiative to show up because the information she had in hand was enough to bring down the Fujibayashi family. Now there is only one last step to take out Fujilin Muku.
Faced with Fujibayashi's questioning, Momochi Santafu said with a smile.
“I am also following orders, and I ask Mr. Fujibayashi for your understanding.
If you want to blame, blame the people in your group who did something wrong yourself and the servant who was unfaithful. Don’t blame others. "
Fujibayashi Muku secretly thought something bad.
Momochi Santafu is a long-established Jonin, cunning and insidious. If she hadn't grasped the real evidence, she would never have said such cruel words.
But at this time, she couldn't allow Teng Linmiao to bow her head and accept her fate, she said solemnly.
"Lord Baidi, you must not slander anyone, and you must speak responsibly."
Bai Di San Tai Fu smiled coldly.
"Of course I have evidence for what I said. Please, Mr. Fujibayashi, come and see my evidence together."
Tenglin Starling glanced at the surroundings, figures swaying in the trees, and dangers abounded.
Bai Di San Taifu talked nonsense with her for a long time, fearing that the surrounding arrangements had been made to prevent her from breaking out.
Having lost the opportunity, Fujibayashi nodded helplessly.
"I'd like to ask you, Master Baidi, to lead the way."
Momochi Santafu walked past Fujibayashi Mukuro and motioned for her to follow.
The followers beside Fujibayashi wanted to go together, but two shurikens shot out from the surrounding trees and were nailed in front of their steps.
After looking around, Fujibayashi signaled his followers to wait where they were before walking into the stronghold alone.
Fujibayashi followed Momochi Santafu and walked inside until he reached the wooden house in charge of interrogation in the stronghold. He already had an ominous premonition in his heart.
Momochi Santao did not open the door immediately, but turned around and smiled at Fujibayashi Mukuro.
"Master Fujibayashi, how stupid can a person be?
She actually used the Iga people's old secret road to go to Kanto via Shinano Country. I accepted the master's order and returned to the nearest place urgently, and happened to meet him.
It's not like you said she defected. She didn't hide her traces, but asked to see her master. But if it weren't for defecting, what would be the crime of leaving one's post without permission? "
Fujibayashi said with a bitter look on his face.
"Perhaps she has unexplainable pains that she can only express to the Lord alone."
Bai Di San Taifu nodded, pretending to be suddenly enlightened.
“I see, Master Fujibayashi is right, but this puts me in a difficult position.
The Lord ordered me to return to recent times to find out the truth about the turmoil, but that person had some misunderstandings about me and was unwilling to tell me honestly.
As a last resort, I had to resort to some means. You also know that our methods of forbearing people are always somewhat unsightly.
Alas, a good person cannot say anything properly. Nowadays, people are no longer human beings, ghosts are no longer ghosts, and everything is revealed.
Can the human body be made of iron? Why do you have to suffer those crimes? Under three trees, what can you ask for?
Do you think this is true? "
Fujibayashi's body trembled slightly when he heard it, his eyes were filled with mist, and he bit his lower lip and remained silent.
Bai Di San Taifu looked at her for a while and saw that she had no intention of interfacing, then he opened the door of the wooden house with a smile and said.
"Comrades, many things are not what I want. It's just that the master's orders have to be taken seriously. I hope Lord Fujibayashi will not blame you."
Fujibayashi Mukuro was no longer interested in being hypocritical and polite with Momochi Santai. She gritted her teeth, took a deep breath and walked in.
The wooden house was dark and damp, with several ninjas guarding the four corners. Their eyes were fixed on Fujibayashi who entered the door, as if to prevent her from violently injuring anyone.
When Fujibayashi entered here, he already understood the evil intentions of Momochi Santao. She was stimulating herself to lose her mind, so that she could take the opportunity to kill her first and then show off.
Knowing that this is Bai Di San Taifu's conspiracy, he must not fall into the trap. But when he saw the huddled figure on the ground, Fujibayashi's eyes turned red for an instant.
She felt so distressed that she took two steps forward, wanting to see her sister clearly.
Teng Linxing, who was on the ground, felt someone approaching, but she squirmed in fear and ran away desperately, whimpering indistinctly.
"I've said it all, I've told you everything. I've really said it all, no more, no more..."
Fujibayashi looked at his sister who was struggling desperately on the ground. She was like a fish on the chopping board, flopping around. Her arms and legs were unable to hang down, and she could only use her upper arms and thighs to twist.
Fujibayashi Xing's eyes widened and there was no light in her eyes. Fujibayashi shook his hand in front of her, but got no response.
She has gone blind.
