Yoshigan suddenly discovered that he had very few means to check and balance Ashikaga Yoshiaki.
It was he who handed over the Ashikaga Huizhong himself, and it was he who supported Ashikaga Yoshiaki to become a shogun.
In order to maintain his character of keeping his promise, Yiyin cannot go back on his word. Moreover, he also had to prevent Oda Nobunaga from infiltrating the shogunate, and he needed the cooperation of Ashikaga Yoshiaki who had become a shogun.
The original choice to win over Ashikaga Yoshiaki was to be wary of Oda Nobunaga. If he regrets it, it will be equivalent to pushing Ashikaga Yoshiaki to Oda Nobunaga's side.
Yiyin thought about it and found out in frustration that he seemed to be missing a lot of chips in his hand, all because he had given too quickly.
At this time, Yiyin had a blind spot in his thinking. That is because he thought that Oda Nobunaga was a strong enemy of the shogunate, and that Ashikaga Yoshiaki would inevitably join forces with him to fight against foreign enemies when he became a general.
His assumption stems from his extreme vigilance towards Oda Nobunaga. Even Akechi Mitsuhide found it strange why Yoshigan valued Oda Nobunaga so much and thought she could overthrow the shogunate.
Before Yoshigan could react, the samurai in this world didn't know the game Nobunaga's Ambition, and they didn't know how terrifying Oda Nobunaga was.
He imposed his own ideas on the shogunate, thinking that everyone agreed with his ideas and would be wary of Oda Nobunaga, the future man of the world.
This blind spot in thinking will cause him to fall hard.
In fact, in the minds of many people, the threat of Shiba Yoshigan is far greater than that of the country bumpkin from Owari, Oda Nobunaga.
But now Yoshiyin has not noticed this yet, and Akechi Mitsuhide, who saw the signs, has been abandoned by him again. He is foolishly walking on the wrong path of wishful thinking.
When he helped Ashikaga Yoshiaki, a former nun who seemed kind and kind, to the position of Ashikaga General, he would have to pay a heavy price for his wrong judgment.
Yiyin already felt that the situation was getting out of control, but he still managed to suppress his uneasiness and persisted in his approach.
Because of his stubbornness, Yukino Takada, who wants to protect him, has an unclear future.
———
Naomasa Ii came in with a bowl of nourishing soup, and when he saw Yukino Takada massaging his master's knees with his pillow, he felt a twist in his heart.
She was born in Yiyin's family name, and Yiyin didn't like to use servants. In the past two years in Kanto, she had always been her personal attendant.
But after Takada Yukino came, she took away many of the serving tasks, which made her feel uncomfortable, as if something important had been taken away.
Suppressing the unhappiness in his heart, Naomasa Ii stepped forward and spoke softly.
"Otaisuo, would you like to take a sip of the nourishing soup?"
Yiyin was being pressed comfortably by Yukino and snorted.
Xiao Nizi has learned the technique from who knows where in the past two years. It is indeed good. The Gosho Sword Room also teaches rehabilitation? Being a swordsman is quite hard.
Seeing that Yi Gin didn't want to move, Yukino stretched out her hand unceremoniously and looked at Ii Naomasa.
Naomasa Ii gritted his teeth, as if something precious had been taken away from him, so he reluctantly handed over the nourishing soup.
Yukino took the soup bowl, scooped up the soup with a spoon, put it under her lips and blew on it. She took a sip first, and then put it into Yiyin's mouth.
Ii Naomasa was stunned and shouted.
"What are you doing!"
Yiyin was startled by her suddenly raised voice. He opened his eyes and looked at Yukino, who said with an innocent face.
"Feed soup to the master."
Naomasa Ii pointed at Yukino and scolded sternly.
"How dare you! How can you take a sip first and then put the spoon into the master's mouth? This is not... This is..."
Ii Naomasa blushed with embarrassment and could not speak.
Yiyin glanced at the spoon, then at Yukino, who had a confused look on his face, and added in his mind, isn't this just an indirect kiss?
Back in Owari, this was how Yukino served him.
At that time, Yoshigami was an insignificant poor nobleman, and his reputation for chastity was ruined because he accompanied Oda Nobunaga to his affair.
He was happy by himself and didn't care about other people's opinions, so Yukino always served him like this. But in less than three years, everything changed.
Yoshigan Shiba is no longer a low-income person who was a performer and a prostitute in Owari. He is now a direct descendant of the Genji family in Kawachi, the imperial palace of the shogun, and the embodiment of justice in the world.
Therefore, he can no longer be as promiscuous as before.
Seeing Ii Naomasa's face collapsed, he was shocked like the earth was falling apart. Yiyin couldn't help but feel sad, it was becoming more and more boring as time went by.
I thought that the higher the status, the more comfortable it would be. Who would have thought that hiding in the room and showing off would not work. Living in such a high and powerful position, with so many pairs of eyes staring at me, is so boring.
Yukino asked, tilting her head before Yukino realized what she was doing.
"What's wrong?"
Naomasa Ii jumped to the spot.
"What's wrong! How could you put the spoon you've eaten into the Lord's mouth!
Don’t you understand the principle of men and women not being intimate? You are committing a grave crime! "
Yukino said with a confused look on her face.
"Isn't this to prevent outsiders from poisoning and test the poison for the master? Moreover, what if the soup is too hot and burns the master?"
Naomasa Ii said angrily.
"How could the soup I gave to the Lord be poisoned? Of course there was a poison tester who drank it first!
Of course I will control the temperature before I serve it! Do you think I don’t understand how to serve?
Where did your inexplicable ideas come from? "
Seeing Yukino surrounding his master these days, Ii Naomasa had been holding back his anger for a long time, feeling that his cabbage patch had been invaded by foreign wild boars.
At this time, old and new hatreds came to my heart, and I took the opportunity to vent them all out.
She is still young and does not understand the principles of love and love. But the child has a strong possessive desire, and always feels that the master who belongs to him has been snatched away by this strange woman who knows how to practice swordsmanship.
She has been unhappy for a long time!
Yukino looked at Yoshiyin with an innocent face and said.
"This is what the Lord told me."
Ii Naomasa's momentum instantly froze. She uh-huh-uh-huh three times and was stunned. Then he slowly turned his head and looked at the master carefully, thinking that he had said something wrong and bumped into the master.
Yiyin couldn't laugh or cry.
These were all the words he used to fool Yukino in Owari. If outsiders want to harm me, it’s safer for Yukino to take a bite first and then I eat.
The method of teasing a little girl is not on the table. Who knew that Yukino, who had always been silly, could remember this kind of thing very clearly!
Yiyin smiled awkwardly, coughed, and explained.
"At the time of Owari, there were indeed dangers everywhere, so we had to be careful at every turn."
He just said something perfunctory, but to his surprise, Naomasa Ii's eyes turned red and he knelt down on the ground.
"I'm so sorry! It was me who made things difficult for you!"
The Shiba clan was exterminated in Owari, and the story of Shiba Yoshiyoshi going to Luka to revive the family business has been circulated among the samurai family for a long time.
His achievements in reviving the legend of the Spall family and rebuilding the family business are indeed worthy of special mention.
The version Naomasa Ii heard was certainly the most upright type. No one dared to talk about those erotic jokes in front of this serious child.
Therefore, as soon as Yoshigan explained, Ii Naomasa immediately imagined a scene of ambush from all sides, and his eyes suddenly turned red.
Yiyin was helpless towards this serious little girl, he rubbed his forehead and said.
"Those who don't know are not guilty. I don't blame you. Just get up."
However, Naomasa Ii looked serious, raised his head and said.
"Otaisuo, please rest assured.
This is not Owari, there are people of the same mind here, and I am here, I will never let anyone hurt you!
Therefore, can Mr. Takada Yukino curb these arrogant behaviors in the future? "
Seeing the half-grown child starting to speak out again and Bingzhong speaking, Yiyin smiled bitterly and nodded.
"Indeed, these old methods from the past should really be put aside."
On the side, Yukino's face was full of grievances. She didn't know what she had done wrong, she pouted and said.
"I have always served the Lord like this, how could it be wrong?"
Ii Naomasa said solemnly.
"Can this moment be the same as that moment?"
"Why is it different?"
"Why is it the same?"
"What's the difference?"
"Not the same at all!"
. . .
The two of them were talking to each other, glaring at each other, and they were so noisy that their heads were pounding.
he shouted.
"OK OK!"
Yi Gin took the nourishing soup from Yukino's hand and swallowed it in one gulp. Because I drank it too quickly, I gasped at the slightly scalding soup.
"Odaisho!" x2
Liang Ji looked at him nervously, Yiyin waved his hand to indicate that it was okay, covered his chest to calm down, and said.
"I will drink it myself from now on. You won't have to wait on me. Don't argue over such a trivial matter."
Yiyin thinks this is a good idea, so he can go to the head office himself. But little did he know that being able to serve him and serve him tea and water was exactly what the two women wanted to do.
Now because of a quarrel, Yiyin cuts him off. Everyone broke up and had nothing to do. Yukino Takada and Naomasa Ii both felt that they had suffered a loss.
But Yiyin expressed dissatisfaction, and they did not dare to make any more trouble. They glanced at each other and silently turned away, feeling more and more disgusting about each other's appearance.
Seeing the bad atmosphere between them, Yiyin could only shake his head and smile bitterly. The whole child has a childish temper, which really makes things difficult for him.
However, after this fuss, Yiyin, who was depressed just now, seemed to be less depressed.
The battle of Shangluo is a foregone conclusion, and there is no use in thinking about it. After that, let’s show you what you’re doing.
———
In the southern suburbs of Kyoto, Fushimi castle residence hall.
Miyoshi Masayasu solemnly said to Miyoshi Changyi.
"The situation is not quite right. The imperial office went to Sibo to lead the mobilization. The battle of Shangluo should not have started so quickly.
Why did Oda Nobunaga cross Seta and enter the Otsu area with the Sakamoto Castle defenders? "
Mihao Changyi already had an ominous premonition in her heart, she frowned and said.
"Perhaps there is a new trend on the Odaisho side, asking Oda Nobunaga to march to Otsu, attract our attention, and then launch a surprise attack from other places."
Miyoshi Masayasu interrupted.
"Absolutely impossible!
The entire front line of the Yodogawa River is under the control of our army, and water transportation is much faster than land transportation. It is impossible for any military action of the imperial office to respond faster than ours.
unless. . "
Miyoshi Masayasu glanced at Miyoshi Changit and said what worried them most.
"Communications in the direction of Dincheng have been cut off for two days."
Sanhao Changyi was so weak that he closed his eyes and said lightly.
“Including today, it has been three days.
Iwanari Hime is always cautious in doing things and will never delay for three days unless. . "
The two of them were talking when a burst of noise suddenly came from outside, and Miyoshi Masayasu shouted sharply.
"What's the noise?"
The sliding door opened wide, and a henchman quickly walked into the room with a pale face and shouted.
"Two adults, something bad is going on!
Just now, a messenger came riding along the Yodo River. She said that Lord Matsunagahide raided the residence of Lord Iwanari Tomomichi and that Yodo Castle was in rebellion! "
The two people in the room stood up at the same time and looked at each other. The worst happened.
Sanhao Changyi held his trembling hands and asked pretending to be calm.
"Where's the envoy? Call her over. I have something to ask her."
The henchman swallowed and said.
"She was seriously injured and died after barely finishing speaking. I knew her as the Hatamoto Hime Samurai of Lord Tomodichi Iwanari.
Before she died, she said that Iwanari Tomomichi-sama had met with misfortune, and before she died, she asked all her bannermen to break out of the encirclement with all their might, and they must come to Fushimi Castle to report the news. "
Mihao Changyi closed his eyes in pain and said slowly.
"I know, you go out first."
The confidant hesitated and Miyoshi Masayasu sighed.
"Go out, I have something to say with the boss."
"Hi!"
After the cronies went out, the sliding door was closed. Miyoshi Masayasu looked at Miyoshi Changyi and couldn't utter a word for a long time.
The situation is now clear. Oda Nobunaga dared to cross the border and go straight into Otsu to threaten Fushimi Castle because Matsunaga Hide rebelled.
Fushimi Castle is already an isolated castle and cannot resist the Oda family's army of Kamiro. What's more, if the war situation deteriorates to this level, the ministers of Shancheng Kingdom will inevitably get into trouble.
Because Iwanari Yudong's envoy Banchong came to report the news, the news about Yodo Castle was known to the Fushimi Castle defenders, and it was too late to block the news.
The people and horses under the command of the three men of Miyoshi are already panicked and the morale of the army is unstable. Fushimi Castle will definitely not be defended.
Miyoshi Masayasu looked at Miyoshi Changyi's face and saw her crying.
Mihaoshi Changyi is already very old, and now he seems to have aged ten years again, which makes Mihaoshi Zhengkang feel sad.
Miyoshi Masayasu advised softly.
"Mr. Chang Yi, we still have a chance. Iwanari Hime desperately sent someone to inform us and let us know Matsunagahide's conspiracy in advance.
As long as we concentrate our forces and fight back to Diancheng, we still have a chance to escape. "
Miyoshi Masayasu knew in his heart that Kyoto could not be defended, and the Oda army in the direction of Otsu was unstoppable.
But before the Oda army launched an offensive, the Miyoshi army in Fushimi Castle could abandon the city and go west, go to Yodo Castle to attack Matsunagahide, and open the way back to Settsu Country.
Although this tactic carries the risk of being attacked from both sides, it is still better than waiting to die.
Miyoshi Changyi shook his head, looked at Miyoshi Masayasu and said.
"I'm not sad because I'm in a desperate situation, I'm hateful.
Why didn't I see the viciousness of Matsunaga Hide at the beginning, and I promoted her to the top, thinking that she could become a powerful foreign aid for us. "
Miyoshi Masayasu sighed and shook his head silently. What’s the point of talking about this now?
During the Kyoto Incident, Matsushita Nagahide used Miyoshi Yoshitsugu's order to force Miyoshi and three others to invade Nijo Castle and kill the general.
This time when the imperial court went to Luo, Matsuhisa Nagahide made suggestions for the Miyoshi family. I thought she was willing to work together to help each other, but who knew. .
She probably had a plan in advance and was determined to betray the Mihaoshi family.
