Both the Hosokawa Mibuchi family and the Asai family know their positions very well. They can't be the protagonist, so they can only try their best to get more benefits from the protagonist.
As for how to get it? Of course, the price is shouted all over the sky, and the money is paid back on the ground. First, look at the quotations of the protagonists, and then choose to take sides.
There are no two days in the sky, and there are no two kings in the earth. After the re-establishment of the shogunate, problems will inevitably arise between Ashikaga Yoshiaki and Shiba Yoshigan.
This has nothing to do with character, just because the essence of power is to be exclusive rather than shared.
Hosokawa Fujitaka said that she couldn't see clearly because she couldn't see who would be the future talker of the shogunate.
So for the Hosokawa Mibuchi family, it is most beneficial to maintain good relations with both parties and use ambiguous positions to gain benefits.
Asai Nagamasa's problem was simpler. Oda Nobunaga asked her to take her husband to Luo, obviously playing the family card.
Of course Asai Nagamasa could understand this blatant show of goodwill. Now she just needs to wait for Oda Nobunaga's offer to see if it suits her.
The Asai family does not have the ambition to dominate Luo. Asai Nagamasa is very aware that her family is full of hidden dangers, and she does not have the confidence.
But Oda Nobunaga is obviously Miyoshi Nagakei and Rokkaku Sadayori, their eyes are fixed on the shogunate, and there is a joke at the corner of their mouth.
Oda and Asai are related by marriage. If the Oda family is willing to provide benefits, the Asai family is also willing to be an assist and help.
But the premise is that the price offered by Oda Nobunaga satisfies Asai Nagamasa.
Everyone thought that the chess game of the shogunate would continue to be played as before.
Then play music, then dance.
———
Shiba Yiyin thought that he already knew enough about the martial arts family of this era.
He was full of confidence and had an overall view. He wanted to contribute to the stability of the shogunate and unite all parties to suppress the ambitious Oda Nobunaga.
But he still overestimated the integrity of the martial artists of this era, and overestimated their bottom line in life. Their passion would eventually be extinguished by ice water.
At this time, Yiyin was lying on the bed in Sibo's mansion.
It's not a big problem, it's just a cold. But in this sensitive period, his distinguished status still caused tension both inside and outside.
Yiyin coughed twice and felt sore all over, looking at the beams in a daze.
It is inevitable for people to get sick if they eat grains.
But thanks to the system, Yiyin has really never gotten sick in the past two years. He always thought that the system's special effects of eternal youth include not getting sick.
It seems now that there is not.
Coincidentally, Yoshigami stayed at Nijo Imperial Palace for a while at the place where Ashikaga Yoshiteru died in battle, and then went to Shokokuji Temple to see her grave. When I returned to Sibo Mansion, I felt uncomfortable.
As a result of this illness, rumors spread that he was overly sad and became ill from weeping. A heartbreaking song has led to countless folk jokes and tears.
Yiyin was depressed and didn't bother to explain, because this matter was indeed a bit strange.
That day, Yoshigan swore at the place where Ashikaga Yoshiteru died in battle that he would marry her in the next life and accompany her to revive the Ashikaga Shogunate.
Having been bedridden for the past few days, Yiyin had strange dreams in his sleep, as if he had opened another parallel branch of time and space.
In the dream, he did not go to Kanto, but fought side by side with Ashikaga Yoshiki after marrying him.
In the dream, he defeated the Miyoshi family, Rokkaku family, and Oda family, and the Ashikaga Shogun family was revived.
In the dream, he subdued all the women in Kanto, settled in Edo, and personally suppressed the land of Kanto.
In the dream, he and Ashikaga Yoshiteru lived separately in Kyoto and Edo. Historically, they were known as the Eastern Capital and the Western Capital to divide the world. They were respectfully known as East Daiden and Nishidai by later generations.
In the dream, some of the Ji warriors who admired him were obsessed with him for a lifetime, some left sadly, and some secretly colluded with him.
Unhappy, Teruhora Uesugi became a nun and passed down his instructions. Only those descendants of Uesugi who marry Mr. Shiba can become the governor of the family.
This led to the fact that for hundreds of years in later generations, the Uesugi family of the powerful Hokuriku domain only had an acting governor, not a real governor. Because they can't marry Si Bo Nan, they can't become real family governors.
Yiyin shook his head helplessly, what stupid author came up with such a messy and confusing plot? My brain is broken.
If you don’t write what readers like to read, you’ll spend all your time calculating logic lines. How can you expect to get good results just like this? Stop dreaming.
A dreamlike trip to Zhouzhuang during his illness made Yoshigami feel a lot less guilty about Ashikaga Yoshiteru, which can be regarded as an unexpected gain.
While thinking wildly, Yiyin heard the sound of the door being opened, and a figure carefully sat down next to him.
Yoshigan opened his eyes weakly, and Takada Yukino's worried little face appeared in front of him, and he smiled.
"Don't worry, it's just a minor problem at the turn of spring and summer. I feel much better already and I should be able to recover in the next few days."
Yi Gin struggled to sit up, and Takada Yukino held the medicinal soup and watched him stand up blankly.
Naomasa Ii, who had just followed behind him, couldn't help frowning and shouted to Yukino.
"Master wants to get up, don't you know how to help me?"
After saying that, Naomasa Ii hurriedly stepped forward and put a pillow on Yoshigin's back so that he could stand up comfortably.
When she finished her work, she turned around and saw Takada Yukino still watching in a daze, and couldn't help but snorted and said.
"Close the door! Master, you can't catch the cold now!"
Takada Yukino retorted.
"I'll bring the medicinal soup, and you can go and shut it down."
Ii Naomasa glanced at her and said dissatisfied.
"Why do I do everything? Can't you put down the medicine soup and pull the door?"
Yukino tilted her head, glanced at the medicinal soup, and then at Ii Naomasa, the vigilance in her eyes was undisguised.
Naomasa Ii simply rolled his eyes.
The two had a dispute before, and Yiyin did not allow them to serve tea or soup anymore. Both of them were unhappy.
This time Yiyin fell ill and was unable to do anything, so the job of feeding the medicine had to be returned to the two of them, and an open and secret fight suddenly broke out between the two.
In the eyes of Yiyin, a bowl of soup is a trivial matter, but in the eyes of the two of them, it is proof of who the master likes more.
The elder Yukino Takada was acting like a child, while the young Naomasa Ii was chattering like an old woman.
The conflict between the two people's appearance and heart made Yiyin laugh and cry.
Takada Yukino is simple and only has the sword and the master in her heart. Naomasa Ii's family has changed since he was young, and his mind is much more mature than his age.
Yiyin watched the two of them fighting every day with relish. This is just a new drama today.
Seeing Yukino Takada protecting the medicinal soup without saying anything, Naomasa Ii shook his head helplessly and went to close the door first. You can't freeze your master just because this guy is ignorant, right?
When she closed the door and turned around, she saw Yukino Takada picking up a spoonful of medicinal soup out of habit and putting it into her mouth.
Naomasa Ii shouted sharply.
"what you up to!"
Takada Yukino was shocked, her eyes wandering, like a weasel trying to steal a chicken, pretending to be innocent.
"I haven't done anything, just help the master cool down."
Naomasa Ii said every word.
"The temperature is just right. Feed it directly to the master. Don't take advantage of the master!"
Takada Yukino uttered the word "cut" silently and reluctantly fed it to Yoshigan. Obviously the Lord doesn't mind, this little girl is really annoying.
Naomasa Ii stared at the entire process without blinking. Yiyin smiled and stretched out his hand, took the medicinal soup directly and swallowed it in one gulp.
The medicinal decoction is bitter and numbs the base of the tongue. He hissed a few times and said with a bit of a tongue.
"I'm almost healed. I can drink it myself from now on."
The glances of Takada Yukino and Ii Naomasa were like lightning. In their hearts, they blame each other for causing trouble, and now they are in a state of disarray.
Seeing their unkind expressions, Yiyin shook his head and said nothing. Isn't it just to give yourself a medicine and make it look like you are so glorious? It's really a child's temper to fight over trivial things.
He stretched out and felt that all the bones in his body were numb from sleep, sore and limp, which was really unpleasant.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and Yiyin asked.
"What's up?"
The voice of Kamao clan came.
"At the Imperial Palace, Ninagawa's biological mother and daughter are here, saying they want to check on your condition."
Just when Yiyin wanted to say, "I'll go out to see her," he felt four eyes on him.
He looked at Ii Naomasa, who said solemnly.
"The doctor at the imperial office said that you should cover your sweat these days and not go out to be exposed to the wind."
Takada Yukino nodded, his face serious.
Yiyin touched his nose and sighed.
"You guys seem to be getting along quite well right now."
The two women looked at each other, shook their heads in opposite directions, and snorted.
Yiyin smiled helplessly and said to the door.
"Let them come here. I'll meet them here."
"Hi!"
———
Ninagawa Prince and his daughter Ninagawa Prince respectfully entered the room and bowed to Yoshibank.
Yiyin asked softly while resting his head on the pillow.
"When did Ninagawa-sama come back to Kyoto?"
Ninagawa said flatteringly.
"I just returned to Kyoto and heard that the Odai had been working so hard for the re-establishment of the shogunate that they had become sick from overwork. I was very flustered.
My daughter and I hurried over to say hello without delaying for a moment. "
Yiyin squinted his eyes and looked at the two of them carefully. They were indeed dressed in dusty clothes, and they didn't seem to be fake.
he laughed.
"It's just a little bit cold, the people below are too nervous."
Ninagawa Akashi said solemnly.
"What you said, Odaisuo, is wrong. The shogunate is in chaos, and it's all up to you to come back from Kanto to turn the tide and bring order to the chaos.
Your rich body is related to the rise and fall of the shogunate. The ministers will inevitably be frightened and should pay attention to it. "
Ninagawa himself was always flattering, which made Yoshigage feel a headache. He had just recovered a little and didn't have the energy to talk nonsense with this shogunate veteran.
So Yiyin asked directly.
"When you came back this time, did you come to my side first?"
Ninagawa Makoyo said with a blank look on his face.
"You are the surviving son of our ancestors, Shuang, and the head of the Ashikaga Shogun family. As a minister, of course I will pay you a visit first when I return to Kyoto.
Is there anyone more noble than you in this capital? "
Seeing her honest face, Yiyin couldn't help but want to praise her for her acting skills and asked leisurely.
"What? You don't want to go to Nijo Imperial Palace?"
Ninagawa himself bowed respectfully and said.
"The Imperial Palace represents the Ashikaga Shogun family and is the backbone of the re-establishment of the shogunate. I would like to ask the Imperial Palace to tell me whether I will go to the Nijo Imperial Palace."
Yiyin secretly cursed the old fox.
Ashikaga Yoshiaki of Nijo Imperial Palace was the future Ashikaga shogun, and Ninagawa himself certainly did not want to offend him.
But on the pretext of visiting a doctor, she first came to Shiba's residence to ask for instructions from Yoshigan Shiba, and then went to Nijo Imperial Palace. Neither Shiba Yoshigan nor Ashikaga Yoshiaki could make a single typo.
Yoshigan narrowed his eyes and said nothing, but Ninagawa himself kowtowed to the ground and said.
"Otai Suo, I don't mean to sit on the fence.
It's just that the shogunate and his like have always been the ministers of the Ashikaga shogun. Whoever is the master, I will be loyal to. This is the rule.
But Ninagawa's daughter has always been ineffective, and I am also troubled.
Seeing the Ji warriors around the imperial office becoming talented and talented, I felt itchy. So I have a heartless request, and I hope the imperial court will grant it. "
Yoshigan's heart moved, and he stared at Ninagawa Makoto.
"you say."
Ninagawa himself begged.
"I sincerely ask the imperial office to take my daughter into the Sibo Tongxin group, so that she can follow you, gain some spiritual energy, and learn some skills."
After saying this, Ninagawa bowed deeply, and her daughter also kowtowed to the ground.
Yiyin looked at their mother and daughter's backs and raised his eyebrows. Unexpectedly, Ninagawa Akashi would stand on his side so decisively.
She was right in saying that the minister was a servant of General Ashikaga. As long as Ashikaga Yoshiaki succeeded to the throne, she must be loyal to Ashikaga Yoshiaki. This was the rule.
But rules are rules. Haven't the generals of the shogunate been deceived enough by their ministers? The ministers are very skilled at playing soft confrontation.
The shogunate was really pushed into a panic, just look at the Ise Sadato sect's dog jumping over the wall, stabbing Ashikaga Yoshiki in the back without any hesitation.
After all, what the ministers maintain is the dining table of the shogunate. As long as the shogunate does not fall, they can continue to eat at this table.
As for Ashikaga Shogun, he is a living Bodhisattva who is enshrined in the temple. How many sticks of incense are offered and how many good looks are given to him? It all depends on whether the general himself understands the nature of the body.
Yiyin said.
"You guys get up first."
Ninagawa and her daughter stood up and looked at Yoshigan.
Yoshigami glanced at Ninagawa himself behind him, saw her face was embarrassed, and asked him about Ninagawa's life.
"Your daughter is not young anymore. She doesn't want to stay at home and inherit the family business, run around with me, or be afraid of being killed on the battlefield one day?"
Ninagawa Makoyo said.
"It is the fate of the martial arts family to die in battle. If my daughter accidentally wraps her body in horse leather, it will be a fate that cannot be violated. There will be no regrets or regrets.
The Ninagawa family is not a famous family, so what kind of family fortune does it have? I'm not sure how long I can last with this meal.
It would be better to let her serve the imperial office. If she can earn some military exploits on horseback, that would be even better. To avoid becoming a wanderer and starving to death on the streets in the future. "
Yiyin shook his head.
"Ninagawa-sama is joking. You are the acting official of the government office and an important minister of the shogunate. How could you become a ronin?"
Ninagawa Makoyo sighed.
"At the Imperial Office, the Ninagawa family is originally from the Ise family, and their status and family status are inferior to others. The title of acting official at the administrative office is just a false title.
Lord Ise Sadakyo refused to let me go, so I had no choice but to kill him at his neck. There was no way out. "
Ninagawa's face was desolate, his tone was indignant, and he gradually showed his drama. Yiyin smiled slightly, knowing that she was showing her feelings to him.
The old dog Ise Sadakyo had no way to go and began to bite randomly, just looking for a way to survive.
In order to protect herself, she included Ninagawa himself in the Shiba Yoshigan party and stirred up trouble in public. Yoshigan already knew about this.
But Yoshigami didn't think she could pass the test. Ise Sadakyo colluded with the Miyoshi family to kill Ashikaga Yoshiteru, and it was inevitable to escape the blame.
The stain on the Ise family cannot be washed away. She is still jumping around now because Ashikaga Yoshiaki hasn't argued with her yet.
