I felt unhappy, but I didn't dare to show it on my beautiful face.
Fortunately, because she was afraid of Mitsuhide Akechi, she had indeed been paying attention to his situation, and she could tell it at this time.
"His Royal Highness Ashikaga Yoshiaki, it may not be convenient for the time being to summon her to see you.
As far as I know, when the imperial office returned to the Jinji Sbo Territory, before entering the city, he first whipped Akechi Ji and then ordered her to shut up and think about her mistakes.
If you want to see her, you have to ask the imperial office first. "
Ashikaga Yoshiaki looked frozen and was speechless.
Although Shiba Yiyin did not get the first merit in Shangluo, as a widow of the ancestors, he controlled the golden seal of the sword and was the orthodox place of the Genji lineage in Kawachi.
Don't look at Ashikaga Yoshiaki being cheered and embraced by all the concubines, how unhappy he is. But if Shiba Yiyin is here, she has to be obedient.
Before ascending the throne of Ashikaga Shogun, Ashikaga Yoshiaki could not disobey Ushiba Yoshigan. This is the difference in status. Her status is much lower than that of Sibo Yiyin.
Ashikaga Yoshiaki was so embarrassed that he couldn't speak, and his heart was full of resentment. She is obviously of the Ashikaga bloodline, but she always wants to be inferior to Yoshigami Shiba. Why?
But then again, she was also a little curious, why did Yoshihiro Shiba treat Mitsuhide Akechi like this?
No one will tell Ashikaga Yoshiaki that Akechi Mitsuhide was the mastermind behind the Kyoto Incident. Even if someone knows about it, he is probably not clean, so naturally he doesn't want to cause trouble.
No one mentioned it, so Ashikaga Yoshiaki could only figure it out on his own.
Akechi Mitsuhide wrote to himself to give him advice. He also arranged for Ninagawa himself to cause trouble for the Miyoshi family entrenched in Kyoto, preventing the Miyoshi family from establishing a firm position in Yamashiro Country.
All this is for the benefit of the shogunate, but may not be in the interests of the Shiba family.
So, Akechi Mitsuhide was ostracized and punished by Yoshihiro Saba because he was loyal to the shogunate?
Ashikaga Yoshiaki thought for a moment, had sympathetic thoughts, and couldn't help but secretly make up his mind.
She still has to rely on Shiba Yigen, but in the future, she must give a decent explanation to Akechi Mitsuhide, a loyal minister of the shogunate.
On the other side, Oda Nobunaga also became interested.
Shiba Yiyin always showed himself to be generous and benevolent, and he treated his subordinates even more favorably, so the retainers were loyal.
Who is this Akechi Mitsuhide to make Shiba Yigen so jealous? Judging from her actions, she is a talent.
Starting from Maeda Toshiie, Oda Nobunaga intentionally placed people in Shiba's family. Fortresses often collapse not because of external forces, but because of internal strife.
Since his debut, Sibo Yiyin has been victorious and conquered every battle. He was wary of Oda Nobunaga, who was also extremely afraid of him.
Especially in Owari's farewell, the Oda retainers were shocked by Yoshigan's momentum, and some were even scared to death on the spot. It was even regarded as a great shame and humiliation by Oda Nobunaga.
Oda Nobunaga did not dare to despise such a powerful person even if he had been played with by him. She must go all out to deal with the threat of Sibo Yiyin.
Although Oda Nobunaga paid a lot of money to buy information and spy on the inside story of the shogunate. But everyone avoids the dirty stuff like killing the general, and of course they don’t know about Mitsuhide Akechi’s disgraceful role in it.
she asked Matsuhisa Hide.
"This Akechi Mitsuhide seems to be a good person, but it's a pity that he pissed off Lord Kenshin."
Matsunaga Hide saw that Oda Nobunaga was also interested in Akechi Mitsuhide and spoke more carefully.
What Akechi Mitsuhide did in the Kyoto Incident was clear to Matsunaga. It's a pity that she herself is a mess, so she doesn't dare to show it at all.
If he steals the chicken but loses the rice, he wants to give Mitsuhide Akechi eye drops, but instead involves his own scandal, that would be too stupid.
Therefore, seeing that both His Highnesses were very interested in Mitsuhide Akechi, Matsunaga Hide did not dare to speak nonsense. Ashikaga Yoshiaki can be perfunctory, but Oda Nobunaga is his new master and must be cautious.
She thought for a moment and said flatteringly.
"Your Majesty Oda, actually Akechi Mitsuhide has some relationship with you."
"oh?"
Oda Nobunaga suddenly became interested and listened to Matsunagahide's words with great interest.
In order to serve the Oda family, Matsunagahide inquired about many things about Oda Nobunaga, and also learned that Oda Nobunaga's husband, Nogun, was the son of the Mino Saito family.
she said.
"Akechi Mitsuhide comes from a branch of the famous Toki family in Mino, and is a descendant of the Akechi family. The Akechi family and the Saito family are both large Mino families, and they have been married for generations.
As far as I know, your husband and Mitsuhide Akechi are cousins. It was only when Saito Yoshiryu killed his mother to seize the throne, the Akechi family was wiped out, and Akechi Mitsuhide fled, that all relatives were cut off. "
Oda Nobunaga nodded, looked at Matsunaga Hide with a half-smile, and said.
"You know my family affairs very well."
Matsunaga's heart twitched and he broke out in a cold sweat. My desire to express myself was too strong, and I didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse for me to expose my investigation of the Oda family's ins and outs.
Oda Nobunaga smiled.
"You have put in the effort, and it seems you are sincerely making friends with me. I can understand that."
Oda Nobunaga doesn't care about Matsunaga Hide investigating herself. As her status becomes higher and higher, countless people will secretly observe and analyze herself.
That Matsunagahide would do this shows that she is indeed determined to join the Oda family. Oda Nobunaga now needs her, so naturally he won't argue with her.
Matsunaga showed off a wisp of cold sweat on his forehead and secretly said he was lucky.
A group of people were chatting animatedly, and the speed of riding up to Luo slowed down because of this, and they were walking slowly along the banks of the Kamogawa River. At this moment, a rider on a fast horse came running from the front.
Oda Nobunaga frowned and scolded first.
"Who! How dare you rush into Luo Zhiyi!"
Seeing her speak, several Oda Princess warriors stepped forward to stop her. Ashikaga Yoshiaki narrowed his eyes and remained silent.
Oda Nobunaga stepped over and spoke first, showing a hint of disrespect.
Ashikaga Yoshiaki was also somewhat dissatisfied with the arrogant Owari Daimyo, but her top priority was to succeed Ashikaga General, so many things could only be put aside first.
Yoshigan Shiba must be patient, Oda Nobunaga must be patient, and those obviously disloyal shogunate samurai must also be patient. Only by turning a hundred forbearance into gold can one become a member of the world.
After he has secured his position as general, he will start from Sibo Yiyin, who poses the greatest threat, and deal with them one by one.
Oda Nobunaga didn't know what Ashikaga Yoshiaki was thinking, and even if he knew it, he wouldn't care.
This former nun who has not received a samurai education has never been in the eyes of Oda Nobunaga. How big a wave can she make?
Although Oda Nobunaga was patient and pretended to be respectful for a while, she could never hide her temper and would always reveal her domineering behavior unconsciously.
The messenger from afar ran closer, and when he saw Warrior Ji blocking his way, he reined up his horse and walked forward, bowing forward.
"In the main hall, there is some trouble with the waiting queue at the front."
Oda Nobunaga asked displeasedly.
"What's wrong? Are the ministers dishonest?"
Ashikaga Yoshiaki glanced sideways at Oda Nobunaga and asked.
"What happened, please tell me clearly."
When Oda Nobunaga saw Ashikaga Yoshiaki interjecting, he subconsciously wanted to laugh, but also thought about Yoshigan Shiba who was coming to Beijing soon, so he chose to bow his head and give Ashikaga Yoshiaki face.
Ashikaga Yoshiaki saw her suddenly retreating, feeling satisfied that she still knew the rules.
Shi Fan didn't know about the secret fight between the two highnesses, and she was the messenger, so she said it bluntly.
"This is to be reported to His Highness Ashikaga. It has nothing to do with the shogunate. It's the Tendai Sect. The mages they came to greet have left and returned to Mount Hiei."
Ashikaga Yoshiaki looked at Shiban in astonishment, not knowing why.
The relationship between the Tendai Sect and the shogunate has always been good. In particular, the Odaisho is dedicated to worshiping Buddha. The Ashikaga Shogun family and Mount Hiei have been close to each other over the years.
Because the Miyoshi trio did not understand the sectarian disputes in Kyoto, they mistakenly sent Ashikaga Yoshiki's body to Shokokuji Temple, which resulted in the Rinzai Sect getting a trump card.
This incident angered Mount Hiei, and the Tendai Sect even took the initiative to contact Luo Dajun, intending to let the Ni Corps go down the mountain to help.
The northern part of the Kyoto Basin is protected by the Tamba Highlands in the northwest and the Hirano Mountains in the northeast.
Entering Kyoto from Minami Omi, there is a land route from the Otsu area through the Otani in the mountains, and a water route is the Seta River that floats through the southeastern hills by boat.
Sakamoto Castle is north of Otani and Seta, and sending troops can cut off Minami Omi's main channel into Yamashiro Country.
Mount Hiei is just behind Sakamoto Castle, overlooking Kyoto to the west and the west bank of Lake Biwa to the east.
The Ni Corps on the mountain are called Mountain Masters. From ancient times to the present, they have intervened in the political situation of Kyoto many times to gain benefits for the sect.
The Tiantai Sect's proactive show of kindness this time was also because the Sanhao family was ignorant and offended the Buddhas on the mountain.
The Rinzai sect was the mainstream sect when the Ashikaga shogunate was established. Although it has declined over the years, its heritage remains.
If the Rinzai Sect is allowed to take advantage of Ashikaga Yoshiteru's funeral and take advantage of the opportunity of the shogunate's reconstruction to rise to power, the Tendai Sect's influence on the shogunate will inevitably be greatly reduced.
Therefore, the Tiantai Sect tore off the fig leaf of the sect's neutrality towards the political situation of the Wu family and wanted to send the Nepali Corps to join the war. The intention was to take the initiative when the shogunate was re-established after the war.
Unfortunately, the Miyoshi family was defeated in one battle. Oda Nobunaga established Ashikaga Yoshiaki and was about to go to Rakuten, thus ruining the Tendai sect's good plan.
But how could the Tendai Sect suddenly withdraw from the welcome ceremony and cause such an embarrassment to Ashikaga Yoshiaki?
Ashikaga Yoshiaki is the future Ashikaga Shogun. If she holds a grudge in her heart, how will the Tendai Sect maintain a harmonious relationship with the shogunate in the future?
This thing is really incredible.
Ashikaga Yoshiaki looked back at Wada Weimasa in the queue, feeling a little confused.
She doesn't have a deep understanding of the intricate relationships between various parties in Kyoto. Is it because she was born in the Shingon sect?
But she has already returned to secular life. Even if the Shingon Sect has an old relationship with her, the Tendai Sect should not be so decisive and slap her in the face without leaving any room.
The relationship between the Tiantai Sect and the Shingon Sect is not so tense. This matter cannot be justified both emotionally and rationally.
Wada Weimasa in the queue also couldn't figure it out. She saw Ashikaga Yoshiaki's eyes asking for help and stepped out of the queue and said.
"The Tendai Sect has always been aware of the general situation. This time, the behavior was too extreme. Did something happen that triggered Mount Hiei?"
Wada Weimasa looked at Oda Nobunaga and said nothing.
Ashikaga Yoshiaki had no power and had never been to Kyoto. The Shingon sect and the Tendai sect were still in harmony on the surface. Even if she wanted to deliberately annoy the Tiantai Sect, she didn't have the ability.
Could the problem lie with the Oda family?
Oda Nobunaga frowned and was puzzled. At this time, another person came galloping on horseback. It was Niwa Nagahide who had entered the capital last night to preside over the ceremony.
Niwa Nagahide's identity is different, and the Ji warriors dare not stop her.
She ran up to him before dismounting and walking, and glared at Shiban. This person was not one of her subordinates, but was sent by other members of Oda's impatient subordinates first.
Oda Nobunaga asked softly when he saw her sweating profusely.
"Mi Wuniang, what's going on?"
Niwa Nagahide didn't want to make this matter public, but unfortunately someone took credit for it and couldn't cover it up.
She glanced at Ashikaga Yoshiaki and the direct minister behind her, and sighed.
"Among the troops maintaining law and order in Shangluo, my home, someone put up a Buddhist flag with the Lotus Sutra written on it."
Oda Nobunaga's expression changed drastically and he couldn't help but curse.
"Bold! Who dares to do that without permission..."
Her voice stopped suddenly, and in her mind, Honnōji Higen, the leader of the Nichiren Sect who had negotiated with her, appeared in her mind, and she gritted her teeth in anger.
It must be this bald donkey! It must be her!
Seeing that Oda Nobunaga suddenly stopped talking, Ashikaga Yoshiaki suddenly realized. The problem does not lie with me, a former Shingon sect nun, but with the Oda family.
Is Oda Nobunaga a follower of Nichiren Buddhism? Ashikaga Yoshiaki's eyes became strange.
Although he did not understand samurai politics, Ashikaga Yoshiaki was one of the two main temples of Kofukuji Temple. When it comes to sectarian strife, that's her specialty.
Among today's Buddhist sects, the six Nandu sects have long since declined, and among the three Zen sects, the Rinzai sect, which is most valued by the shogunate, has lost its former prestige.
The most prosperous sects are the two Heian sects, namely the Tiantai sect and the Shingon sect. However, the two branches have been fighting for many years, and there are signs of decline.
The old and new sects of Shingon sect split, and the new sect left for Wakayama. The Koyasan old sect finally managed to capture the Hosho Sect, one of the six sects in Nandu, and annexed the Yamato Buddhist Kingdom, and then barely stabilized its position.
The situation of Tiantai Sect is even more difficult.
Mount Hiei was home to numerous talents, and the Tendai Sect gave birth to the Pure Land Sect and the embryonic form of Nichiren Buddhism, leading to fierce doctrinal disputes.
The Pure Land Sect was forced to move far away to Kanto, and split into the more extreme Pure Land Shin Sect, also known as the Ichixiang Sect.
The Nichiren Sect has developed the fastest, and its presence in recent times has become intolerable to the Tendai Sect. The Master of Mount Hiei took advantage of the chaos in the shogunate and went down the mountain to destroy the Nichiren Sect's gate in Kyoto.
The teachings of the Nichiren sect and the Ichijo sect both follow the bottom line, and the competition is cruel and fierce. In order to rob the believers, the two sides fought tooth and nail.
Throughout the ages, what sects fear most is not heretics, but heretics with different orthodoxy. In order to eliminate heretics, each faction likes to use physical methods to eliminate them. It can be said that the hatred is as deep as the sea.
The Nichiren sect was cut off from the foundation of Kyoto's Sanmon by the Tendai sect, and the Ichiki sect took the opportunity to counterattack, causing heavy losses.
In the end, they could only shrink into the lower town of Hong Kong Shang City, develop craftsmen and merchants as believers, and survive.
The most respected Nichiren sect is Myoho-renge-kyo. Followers take Nam-myoho-renge-kyo as the Buddha's name, and the white flag with Myoho-renge-kyo written on it is the Buddha's flag.
This time when the Oda army went to Luo, the army blatantly pulled out the Nichiren Sect's Myoho Renge Sutra Buddhist flag. How could the Tendai Sect tolerate it?
No wonder, the masters of the Tiantai Sect didn't even care about the shogunate's face and returned to the mountain in anger.
Whether you have a good relationship with the shogunate or not will at most affect your future life. But the dispute over Buddhism is a total destruction from the spirit to the body. It is black and white, and there is no room for any ambiguity.
Even though Hieizan was trying his best to offend the shogunate, he had to express his position and leave decisively.
Oda Nobunaga looked livid and speechless.
She used the Nichiren sect's influence in the merchant towns to attract trade and develop iron cannon technology. The Oda army was equipped with a large number of iron cannons, and naturally there were iron cannon craftsmen from Nichiren sect followers who were responsible for the maintenance of the weapons.
It must be those Nichiren Sect believers who acted as monsters and raised Buddhist flags in the Oda army without authorization to provoke the Tendai Sect.
I just don’t know whether this accident was the believers’ own idea, or whether Honnoji Nichigen was behind it.
