The direct descendants of the Kawachi Genji family and close relatives of the Ashikaga Shogun family all died in the Kyoto Incident. Ashikaga Shogun, Odaisho, Ashikaga Teru-kun, none of them survived.
This led to something very embarrassing.
Yoshigan Shiba, an outsider with no close bloodline, became the representative of the direct line of Genji in Kawachi as a widow of the Ashikaga Shogun family.
Although he has no direct bloodline, the sword and golden seal given by Ashikaga Yoshiteru are enough for the world's samurai to recognize his status as a direct descendant.
Although Ashikaga Yoshiaki is Ashikaga Yoshiteru's sibling, the twin girls' obscure life experiences make it difficult for her to be recognized by the world's samurai families.
This in and out made Ashikaga Yoshiaki only eligible to succeed Ashikaga Shogun by recognizing his orthodox status through Yoshihiro Shiba.
Without the support of Yoshihiro Shiba, Ashikaga Yoshiaki's reputation is not enough. Ashikaga Yoshiteru never recognized her as a sister during his lifetime, and she even had lower inheritance rights than many Ashikaga distant clans.
But if Ashikaga Yoshiaki succeeds Ashikaga Shogun with the recognition of Yoshigan Shiba, then she will not be able to escape the shadow of Yoshigan Shiba's kindness.
This is the knot faced by Ashikaga Yoshiaki.
Either he would give up on the position of Ashikaga Shogun, or he would always be inferior to Yoshigin Shiba.
But at this time, Ise Sadakyo helped her open up a new path.
That is to first take over the position of Ashikaga Shogun from Yoshigan Shiba, and then remarry Yoshigan Shiba out of fear that the Shiba family will have no heirs.
Yoshigan Shiba's status as a direct descendant of Kawachi Genji came from his late wife Ashikaga Yoshiteru. As long as he remarries, it is logical that he will lose his status.
And Ashikaga Yoshiaki has become Ashikaga General, so naturally he will not bow down and step down because of Yoshihiro Shiba's remarriage.
By doing this, she can not only ascend to the top of the world, but also kick away Shiba Yiyin who is pressing down on her head. It is simply perfect!
As the saying goes, as long as your thinking does not slip, there are always more solutions than difficulties.
Ise Sadakyo, an old fox, grasped the fundamental point of Shiba Yoshigan's status, and used the continuation of the family business that the military family cared about most to invite Shiba Yoshigan out of the direct line of the Genji family in Kawachi by remarrying.
Although this method is unethical, it sounds really feasible.
Ashikaga Yoshiaki's eyes were a little confused and he felt greatly shocked. After all, Ise Sakyo is a veteran player who has been with the shogunate for many years. This way of giving birth to a daughter without having sex is really eye-opening.
she hesitated.
"Can Yutai agree to this?"
Ise Sakyo looked at Ashikaga Yoshiaki in surprise and thought to himself. Nonsense, of course Shiba Yiyin cannot agree.
The direct descendants of the Kawachi Genji founded two generations of shogunate and led the world's samurai families as the pillars of the samurai family. Orthodoxy was deeply ingrained in the hearts of the samurai warriors, which was a priceless invisible wealth.
Even if Shiba Yiyin was confused for a moment and was willing to give up, the Shiba retainers group would not agree.
The Wu family unites under one family name in order to stay together and gain more benefits. The retainers don't care that Shiba Yiyin will never die. The worst thing to do is to find an adopted daughter with a suitable status to take over.
But the title of direct descendant of Kawachi Genji was very useful. He could use his righteousness to suppress the general and shogunate, be superior to others, and dominate.
Sibo Yiyin will remain a widow for the rest of his life. Whether he is comfortable or not is irrelevant. The Shiba Wujia Group must be very happy and will never let go.
Ashikaga Yoshiaki would ask this, which only shows that she is very immature politically.
Ise Sadakya frowned, thought for a moment, and said.
"The emperor understands the righteousness deeply. As long as we are moved with emotion and understand with reason, we will surely be able to move him."
Ashikaga Yoshiaki nodded slowly and asked.
"Then how do we impress him?"
Ise Sakyo said.
“After the imperial palace is in Luo, the re-establishment of the shogunate should be put on the agenda.
When he helps you ascend to the position of Ashikaga Shogun and hand over the golden seal of the sword, we will prepare for his future happiness.
Before you succeed to the throne, please do not let the imperial office distract you from other matters, and do not mention the matter of remarriage for the time being.
As for your succession, I already have some ideas. "
Ashikaga Yoshiaki understood what Ise Sakyo meant.
Before he sits on the throne of Ashikaga General, he must suppress his desire to force Yoshigan Shiba to remarry, so as not to affect the succession event.
After he succeeds to the throne and the issue of Ashikaga Yoshiaki's status is resolved, the time will be ripe to attack Yoshihiro Saba.
she asked with interest.
"Lord Ise, can you share some thoughts?"
Ise Sakyo looked around at the ladies present, and Wada Weimasa said with interest.
"Don't worry, sir, everyone here is a loyal person who supports His Highness Ashikaga Yoshiaki in going to Luo."
Ise Sakyo nodded.
Those present were all those who once wanted Ashikaga Yoshiaki to go to Luo independently and severely offended Yoshigan Shiba. They were also afraid of Yoshigoshi Shiba's revenge and were very interested in the idea of Ise Sakyo.
Ise Sakyo said.
“I once heard a funny story.
When the Imperial Court first came to Kyoto, Mibuchi Haruman-sama took good care of him because of the family friendship between the two families. He even intended to let him marry his daughter, Hosokawa Fujitaka. "
Ashikaga Yoshiaki glared.
"Is there such a thing?"
She looked at Wada Weimasa and others. Only Yagyu Sogan, as the great head of the family, knew some inside information and nodded.
After receiving the confirmation, Ashikaga Yoshiaki couldn't help but swallowed and said.
"So, the ancestors robbed the Izumi-Hosokawa family..."
Ashikaga Yoshiaki did not say any more. This statement somewhat tarnished Ashikaga Yoshiteru's character and it was not convenient for her to say it.
Ise Sadakyu shook his head.
"That's not the case, because the matter of Sanhao Changqing going to Luo was put on hold because of the war before it was formally raised.
After the war, the imperial institute became famous all over the world, and was admired by the ancestors and presented with the gift of acceptance. Master Mibuchi Haruyu will naturally not mention this matter again to embarrass the ancestors.
But as far as I know, Hosokawa Fujitaka has not gotten married in the past three years. There are rumors that she has someone in her heart, so she has never talked about marriage. "
Ise Sakyo was very frank, except that Hosokawa Fujitaka had a crush on Shiba Yoshigan.
The Great Wonders of Ashikaga Yoshiaki.
"Is there such a thing?"
Shiba Yoshigage has an excellent appearance. As early as when he first entered Kyoto, he was ridiculed as the foxy child born in front of Tamamo.
His status has been getting higher and higher over the years, and among high-level warriors, no one dares to mention such frivolous words.
But among the chats among the vulgar men and women of the middle and lower classes, Shiba Yiyin's peerless appearance was far more eye-catching than his unparalleled achievements.
Ashikaga Yoshiaki was enjoying the gossip, suddenly frowned and asked.
"Ise-sama, do you mean to remarry Odaisho to the Izumi-Hosokawa family?
The beauty of adulthood is of course a good thing to continue the relationship. The Odaisho was originally the leader of the local powerful faction. If Shiba Hosokawa merged, it would not necessarily be beneficial to the stability of the shogunate. "
The three pillars of the shogunate are the Ashikaga Shogun family, the shogunate, and local powerful factions.
After Yoshigan Shiba remarried, Ashikaga Shogun's family was completely controlled by Ashikaga Yoshiaki.
But if the Shiba Hosokawa is allowed to merge, the local powerful factions will be further integrated. Izumi, Kawachi, Kitadawa, Iga and other places will be integrated into one, and the volume of four to five million stone high should not be underestimated.
This is also a hidden danger for the new general Ashikaga Yoshiaki.
She couldn't help complaining in her heart, couldn't Ise Sakyo think of other partners? Wouldn't letting Yoshigoshi Shiba marry Fujitaka Hosokawa cause trouble for himself?
Ise Sakyo sighed in his heart, why doesn't Ashikaga Yoshiaki know how to choose? Yoshiyoshi Shiba is such a powerful person, how easy is it to kick him out of the direct line of Genji in Kawachi?
If we don't unite the Hosokawa Mibuchi family and don't give Hosokawa Fujitaka enough sweetness, can this happen?
As long as he can marry Shiba Yiyin, no matter how troublesome the hidden dangers are, can it be more troublesome than him controlling the righteous name of the direct descendant of the Genji family in Kawachi?
Ise Sakyo despised Ashikaga Yoshiaki in his heart, but he smiled on his face.
"Your Highness Ashikaga Yoshiaki and Hosokawa Mibuchi are called two families, but they are actually very united internally. The family governors are sisters, and the heirs are also sisters.
Now that the two family governors are getting older, power has been slowly delegated to the two heirs, Mibuchi Fujihide and Hosokawa Fujitaka.
I heard that Lord Hatakeyama Takamasa went to Luo as a cause of justice in Nankawachi, but was defeated by Yusa Nobuyoshi. Mibuchi Fujihide turned a blind eye and was severely scolded by Odai who had returned to Konkoshiba territory, and was embarrassed.
The Hosokawa Mibuchi family was forced to invade the land of Minamihanoi to regain the family property for Lord Hatakeyama Takamasa and atone for their sins.
The two families who originally wanted to go to Luo are still making wedding dresses for others in Nanhanoi. There will always be some resentment among Mibuchi Fujiei, right?
And Fujitaka Hosokawa is talented and intelligent, and is trained by the two families as the next person in charge. He is also a hero who is unwilling to be inferior to others.
Outstanding people must have strong self-esteem, but it is a pity that falling flowers are sentimental and flowing water is unintentional. The unintentional incident at the Imperial Palace back then deeply hurt Hosokawa Fujitaka's feelings.
Can Shiba Hosokawa merge, and will they be united after the merger? This still depends on your mind, your tolerance, and your kindness. "
Ashikaga Yoshiaki squinted his eyes in thought and asked.
"What do you mean, Mr. Ise?"
Ise Sakyo smiled a little coldly.
"As long as you are willing to surrender, you can try to win over Mibuchi Fujihide.
Mibuchi Fujihide occupies the land of North Kawachi, which is the gateway to and from Yamashiro Country in the west. You have entrusted us with important responsibilities, and we are doing our best to fulfill our talents.
She is not as valued as Hosokawa Fujitaka in the Hosokawa Mibuchi family, but young people always want to prove themselves. As long as you are willing to be her Bole, you may not be unable to gain her sincere support. "
Ise Sakyo's intention was to take advantage of the internal contradictions of local powerful factions to win over the lost Mibuchi Fujihide and divide the local powerful factions.
Ashikaga Yoshiaki asked.
"What about Hosokawa Fujitaka?"
Ise Sadao said solemnly.
"Hosokawa Fujitaka is both civilized and martial, she has always been arrogant and arrogant. The biggest regret in her life is probably the missed love relationship with Otai.
If you intend to fulfill her love, she will definitely stand by your side and try her best to help you achieve your wish, and also to help herself achieve her wish. "
After Ise Sakyo finished speaking, he looked at Ashikaga Yoshiaki with bright eyes.
Ashikaga Yoshiaki nodded slowly. This time she really understood why Ise Sadaoka chose Hosokawa Fujitaka as his remarriage partner.
Because Yoshihiro Shiba and the Shiba retainers were not willing to remarry, Yoshiaki Ashikaga had to find allies to force Yoshihiro Shiba to marry him off.
Hosokawa Fujitaka has a secret love for Shiba Yoshigan. She has the strength and willingness to marry Shiba Yoshigan. She is the best helper for Ashikaga Yoshiaki to achieve his goal.
The Naomi of the Ashikaga Shogun family in the hands of Ashikaga Yoshiaki, the shogunate group controlled by Ise Sakyo, and part of the Hosokawa Mibuchi family controlled by Hosokawa Fujitaka.
Taken individually, none of the three parties is a match for Spo Yiyin. But what if the three parties join forces? Can Shiba Yoshiyin be able to fight against most of the shogunate's power?
Ise Sakyo also knew that with the confluence of Shiba Hosokawa and the accelerated integration of local powerful factions, their strength would be even higher.
Even if you rely on winning over Mibuchi Fujihide and dividing the strength of part of the Mibuchi family, this strategy may not be successful.
But Shiba Yiyin is so powerful that few people in the Wu family dare to fight against him these days.
To remove Yoshigan Shiba's status as a direct descendant of Genji Kawachi, one must make a choice, and Fujitaka Hosokawa is the best candidate.
The confluence of Shiba Hosokawa will be troublesome in the future, but Yoshigan Shiba's occupation of the title of direct descendant of Genji in Kawachi is a real threat that Ashikaga Yoshiaki cannot bear for a moment.
It is self-evident what Ashikaga Yoshiaki would choose after weighing the pros and cons of choosing the lesser of two evils.
Although there are hidden dangers in the future, Ashikaga Yoshiaki must join forces with Hosokawa Fujitaka to let her get what she wants, and also let herself get what she wants.
An alliance in which both sides get what they need is the strongest alliance. Before Yoshigan Shiba remarried, Hosokawa Fujitaka may even have become Ashikaga Yoshiaki's strongest ally in the shogunate.
Ashikaga Yoshiaki thought clearly about the logic and nodded resolutely.
"Mr. Ise is right, we should be happy with the beauty of adulthood and fulfill Hosokawa Fujitaka's infatuation."
Ise Sadakyu smiled in relief, and Ashikaga Yoshiaki accepted all her advice.
From the sectarian balance between Tendai Sect and Shingon Sect, to the soft knife to deal with Oda Nobunaga, an outsider, and finally the solution to Shiba Yoshigan.
The adoption of this series of suggestions meant that Ashikaga Yoshiaki, the future Ashikaga General, officially accepted himself, and the Ise family had a new future.
Ise Sakyo's suggestion is to start from the shallower to the deeper, and gradually test Ashikaga Yoshiaki's bottom line.
She is not worried that sectarian disputes can threaten the shogunate. There is a tacit understanding of neutrality between the samurai family and the sect. Unless it hurts their own interests, the sect rarely intervenes in disputes between the samurai family.
Oda Nobunaga, an arrogant and domineering country name, was straightforward and rude. She doesn't understand the rules of the shogunate's game, and she can't beat the ministers who are proficient in the operation of the shogunate, so there is no need to worry.
Ise Sakyo was the same as everyone in the shogunate. What they were most afraid of was the Ashikaga military god who punched Rokkaku and kicked Miyoshi, Yoshigan Shiba.
If Yoshigan knew that everyone in the shogunate was so afraid of him but ignored Oda Nobunaga's threat, he would definitely not be able to cry.
Compared with Oda Nobunaga, is he a threat? These fools of the shogunate will one day pay the price for their stupid behavior, and they will definitely regret it.
Yiyin didn't know that before he went to Luo, everyone was already full of malice towards him.
Whether it was Oda Nobunaga or Ashikaga Yoshiaki, both groups had their own agenda and wanted to kick him out first.
Yoshigan also harbors the dream of uniting with Ashikaga Yoshiaki to drive away Oda Nobunaga. When he wakes up from the dream, he will definitely feel extremely depressed and even start to doubt his life.
History has deviated slightly from the track under the influence of the variable Sponey Bank. But then it gradually reset and returned to its original path.
