Hosokawa Motonsune glanced at the frustrated Mibuchi Haru, somewhat worried about this ignorant sister, fearing that she might do something bad.
So, he said.
"Qingyu, I see that you are not looking very well these days, so you will stay in Shengryuji Castle to rest for the time being, and let Fujihide handle all matters related to the Mibuchi family.
Afterwards, you don’t need to participate in the funeral of the ancestors in Shangluo and the succession of the general. Just take a good rest for a while. "
Mibuchi Fujiei was also worried that his mother would ruin his good deeds, so he bowed and said.
"Mother, please take good care of yourself and leave your affairs at home to me."
Mibuchi Haru looked at Hosokawa Motonsune's serious expression, then at Mibuchi Fujihide who looked worried, and finally turned his gaze to the indifferent and calm Hosokawa Fujitaka, sighed and nodded.
At the beginning, she teamed up with Hosokawa Fujitaka to oust Hosokawa Motonsune and placed her in Shengryuji Castle for retirement. Now that Hosokawa Motonsune is using his methods to repay others, what can she say?
The power struggle between the Hosokawa and Mibuchi families was much more gentle than the fierce and bloody conflicts within other samurai families.
She also didn't want to make the situation unending and leave everyone with no way out but to compromise.
Seeing Haru Mibuchi's embarrassment, Hosokawa Fujitaka felt a faint sense of revenge.
Mother, please don’t blame me. I am doing this for the good of the Hosokawa and Mibuchi families. When I marry Sibo Yiyin, you will also be happy, right?
After all, you have always treated him as your own child. When I marry him, you will really become a family.
———
Hosokawa Fujitaka made a small plan, and Mibuchi Haru, who did not want to break up, was forced to stay in Shengryuji Castle to recuperate.
Although Motosune Hosokawa and Fujihide Mibuchi did not say it explicitly, they were obviously very interested in the price offered by Ashikaga Yoshiaki.
As for Yoshihiro Shiba, because of Mibuchi Haru's foolish actions, it has become difficult for the Hosokawa and Mibuchi families to take advantage.
Hosokawa Fujitaka wanted to give Hosokawa Mototsune the illusion that he would not get any benefits from the Shiba family. In order to cooperate with Ashikaga Yoshiaki and Ise Sakyo, he forced Yoshigan Shiba to submit and let him marry him.
She is not sincerely cooperating with Ashikaga Yoshiaki. As long as Yoshigan Shiba marries her, she will immediately distance herself from Ashikaga Yoshiaki and form a united front with Yoshiaki Shiba again.
Once Ashikaga and Ashikaga merge, the local powerful factions will be closely united and become a decisive force in the shogunate. Ashikaga Yoshiaki will have to make more compromises.
And Ashikaga Yoshiaki and Ise Sakyo are not fools, of course they know the result. Therefore, it is one thing to use Hosokawa Fujitaka, but it is another thing to really get Hosokawa Shiba to join forces.
Just as the nuclear bomb is at its greatest deterrence when it is on the launcher. Hosokawa Fujitaka, who has not yet obtained Shiba Yoshiyin, is Ashikaga Yoshiaki's close ally.
Ashikaga Yoshiaki and Ise Sakyo already knew that the day when Hosokawa Fujitaka married Shiba Yoshigan was the moment when the alliance between the two parties broke down.
What they need is to use the lust of Hosokawa Fujitaka to make them crazy. But what really makes Hosokawa Fujitaka get his wish is another bargaining chip, and the conditions must be discussed again.
With Yisibo Yiyin's current status, no one dares to drive him into despair. Even without the golden seal of the imperial sword, the imperial white flag of Hachiman Tainiang behind him is still a matter of great justice.
What's more, since his debut, Shiba Yiyin has been invincible and invincible. Who among the shogunate can defeat him?
Ashikaga Yoshiaki just wanted to force Yoshigan to give up his status in the Ashikaga Shogun family so that he could become the arbitrary Ashikaga Shogun.
But she hasn't yet understood that a pure status does not mean the concubines surrender. As strong as Ashikaga Yoshiteru, even if he wanted to hold on to the real power of the shogunate, he would die.
How could she, a mediocre Ashikaga twin, have any power without the support of Yoshigan Shiba? Extremely stupid.
When dealing with people, you are not afraid of fools being stupid, but you are afraid of fools being clever.
Although the Shiba family's territory is not large, the influence of Shiba Yoshigan on several recent families is really to the point of death, and it is more than enough to overthrow an Ashikaga Yoshiaki.
So from the beginning to the end, Ashikaga Yoshiaki never thought about convincing Yoshigashi Shiba, she just wanted to convince others with virtue. Taking advantage of Shiba Yiyin's benevolent and righteous character, he bullied him, an honest man.
Sibo Yiyin is a man of great righteousness and has a bottom line in his conduct. These bastards in the shogunate just rely on themselves and have no bottom line, and bully Yoshiyin who has a bottom line and force him to get out.
But they don't know that Yoshiri is just Yoshiyin's character. What really makes him different from the martial arts in this world is his three views.
In other words, he is not as pure and flawless as he appears on the surface. If you make him anxious, he will do anything.
I was really cornered, so I voted for the 8-way. . No, go to Oda! Men's gender is good here. Once his clothes are taken off, Oda Nobunaga will definitely accept him.
Hosokawa Fujitaka, Ashikaga Yoshiaki, and Shiba Yoshigan were all calculating, but everyone was half wrong.
And Oda Nobunaga watched the people of the shogunate calculating from a distance, and he could only sneer in his heart.
———
Forces from all sides are moving into Luo, and there is a constant undercurrent of alliances and alliances. Time passes day by day, and the re-establishment of the shogunate is also advancing step by step.
Under the dual pressure of Ashikaga Yoshiaki and Kakushu Shonin, the Rinzai Sect Shokokuji Temple finally could not withstand the pressure and admitted that the funeral of Ashikaga Yoshiteru held by the Miyoshi family exceeded the standards of etiquette.
Ashikaga Yoshiaki assigned the Tendai Sect to hold a new funeral for their ancestors, and the Tendai Sect happily took away the remains of their ancestors from Shokokuji Temple.
After the funeral, Ashikaga Yoshiaki decided to build a pagoda to enshrine his ancestors on Mount Koya, where the old Shingon sect would chant sutras and pray for generations.
The Tendai Sect, which had already suppressed the Rinzai Sect, had no objection to this and gave Ashikaga Yoshiaki a face.
Ashikaga Yoshiaki used this to show that he did not forget his origins, which greatly moved the old Shingon sect in Mount Koya.
When Ashikaga Yoshiaki did these things on behalf of the Ashikaga Shogun family, Yoshigan Shiba at the Shiba residence did not speak at all, which was like tacit approval.
At this point, Ashikaga Yoshiaki became famous.
Following the strategy of Ise Sakyo, he properly balanced the relationship between the two major sects, Tendai Sect and Shingon Sect, and gained support from both parties.
And through Yoshigan Shiba's tacit support, the inevitability of her succession to Ashikaga Shogun was clearly seen both inside and outside the shogunate.
After completing Ashikaga Yoshiteru's funeral, Ashikaga Yoshiaki finally established a foothold in Kyoto and truly began to prepare for the succession ceremony.
———
During the spring and summer, Ise Sakyo was the first to write a letter begging Ashikaga Yoshiaki to succeed Ashikaga Shogun.
Subsequently, various families in the shogunate submitted letters one after another. At that time, Luoyang was expensive, and they only wanted Ashiki Yoshiaki to ascend the throne.
In the end, a letter of petition from Yoshigan Shiba was sent to the Nijo Imperial Palace. Ashikaga Yoshiaki finally couldn't control the anger of the shogunate. After three requests and three concessions, he was forced to accept everyone's suggestions.
The shogunate announced that on an auspicious day, a succession ceremony would be held, and she would become the fourteenth Ashikaga shogun of the Muromachi shogunate.
———
Yiyin sat in the hall and looked at the long flags fluttering outside the hall.
This is the Nijo Imperial Palace, and it is the succession ceremony of Ashikaga Yoshiaki.
Shogun, whose real name is General Zhengyi. It was originally a temporary military system established by the Emperor's court to defeat the foreign hairy people entrenched in Kanto.
The Emperor's court followed the example of the Great General who conquered barbarians by setting up official positions in mainland China. Because he had the right to recruit subordinate officials on his own, and to open a palace and build a flag, he was also called the shogun.
After the Genpei War, Minamoto Yoritomo established the first political power of the samurai family, the Kamakura shogunate.
From then on, the shogun became the nickname for the leader of the samurai family, replacing the emperor as the actual ruler of the island country.
Originally, the general who conquered the barbarians still needed to be canonized by the emperor's court. Although the Kamakura shogunate held the real power to govern the world, it was still a minister of the emperor according to the legal system.
Until the collapse of the Kamakura shogunate and the establishment of the Muromachi shogunate, the third generation of general Ashikaga Yoshimitsu killed the emperor's ministers, and the samurai shogunate became the only orthodox government in the Japanese archipelago, with no more constraints.
Because Ashikaga Yoshimitsu is independent based on the legal system of the Japanese king granted by the Ming Dynasty, he calls the Japanese king externally and uses the Japanese king's seal as his seal.
However, within the Japanese archipelago, Ashikaga Shogun still takes the title of shogun, pillar of the samurai family, and elder of the Minamoto family, ruling the samurai families in the world and suppressing the sixty-six countries.
Therefore, the sword granted by the Emperor to the General of the Conquering Barbarians is still a symbol of the shogun's power.
After Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, the succession ceremonies of all Ashikaga shoguns were a mixed ceremony of canonization by the Celestial Empire and investiture by Japan.
When an Ashikaga shogun comes to power, either his ancestors retired or their ancestors died. But today, Ashikaga Yoshiaki, the new general, has to take over the golden seal of the sword from the ancestors of Odaisho.
This is also the reason why Ashikaga Yoshiaki is obsessed with kicking Yoshigan Shiba out of the Ashikaga Shogun family.
At the ceremony, Yoshigan Shiba received two tokens of the power of the Ashikaga Shogun, the sword and gold seal.
In terms of etiquette, Ashikaga Yoshiaki's legitimacy comes from Yoshihiro Shiba, and he will never be able to escape the influence of Yoshihiro Shiba in this life.
The Wu family attaches great importance to etiquette, and their status is determined, which means superiority and inferiority.
Ashikaga Yoshiaki was unwilling to bow to Yoshigan Shiba, and Ise Sadakyu just offered a marriage plan. The two worked together to play dirty tricks on Yoshigan Shiba.
Yoshigan had not yet realized that the strategy he had planned for the shogunate to jointly expel Oda Nobunaga was simply impossible to realize.
With this naive idea, he was going to hand over the two tokens left to him by Ashikaga Yoshiteru to an ungrateful white-eyed wolf today.
At this time, Shiba Yiyin, who was sitting in the main seat of the main hall, was wearing a white hunting coat and a white feather fabric, and his face was as handsome as a god descending from heaven.
He looked at the ceremony unfolding outside the hall, feeling vaguely uneasy in his heart.
The people in the shogunate were very slick, and the chips that Yiyin had prepared were stolen one by one by them without even realizing it.
When Yiyin came to his senses, he realized that he had not received any definite promise at all, and all the bargaining chips he had used for the transaction had been stolen.
He glanced at the golden seal of the sword on the case. It was a token given to him by Ashikaga Yoshiteru for protection, and it was the proof that he occupied the Ashikaga Shogun family.
Today, he wanted to give Ashikaga Yoshiteru's affectionate guarantee to her, and he couldn't help feeling uneasy.
Is what I'm doing right?
Oda Nobunaga was hiding in Tofukuji Temple and there was no movement. Oda's army was well behaved in the capital and Qiu made no mistakes. The concubines of the shogunate all praised Oda Nobunaga as a loyal and virtuous minister.
Yoshigami was embarrassed to find that it was very difficult for him to unite the shogunate families to deal with Oda Nobunaga now that he was committing evil deeds. The shogunate families did not understand his concerns at all.
Even though he spent all his chips, he only got vague answers and did not really achieve what he hoped for.
Yoshigan suddenly thought of Mitsuhide Akechi. If she were here, what advice would she give him, and what warning would she give him?
This vicious and cunning woman was the one who killed Ashikaga Yoshiki. Yoshiki never wanted to see her again in his life.
But when I think about it, she is Yiyin's most effective counselor. She was indispensable to Yiyin's ability to successfully establish a foothold in recent countries and win the 200,000 stone territory of recent countries.
When Yoshihiro was in Kanto, he often lamented that if he had brought Akechi Mitsuhide to Kanto, many twists and turns might have been avoided. Although this bastard is bad, he is really awesome.
I originally met Umino Riichi in Kanto, and he had an intellect similar to that of Akechi Mitsuhide. It's a pity that Umino Riichi didn't want to leave Sanada Nobushige, so Yoshigami had no choice but to become a good companion for the monarch and his ministers.
Today, in the main hall, Yiyin looked around and suddenly felt that he was being fooled by the shogunate concubines. After all, he couldn't help but think of Akechi Mitsuhide's goodness.
But for the unjust death of Ashikaga Yoshiteru, he will never forgive Akechi Mitsuhide in his life, and will never use this poisonous snake with no bottom line again.
no way!
———
Ashikaga Yoshiaki was extremely excited in his heart, but his face was serious and upright, and he followed the performer to complete the ceremony meticulously.
Outside the main hall, there is a courtyard, which imitates the appearance of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu when he accepted the canonization of the Celestial Dynasty. He worshiped in the direction of the capital of the Ming Dynasty, thinking that he would succeed to the throne.
The island nation of Japan has always had an ambivalent mentality of inferiority and pride towards the Celestial Kingdom.
Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's legal tradition of overthrowing the emperor and proclaiming himself king clearly came from the Japanese king canonized by the Celestial Empire.
But internally, in order to take care of the sensitive self-esteem of the islanders, the Ashikaga family has always regarded themselves as shoguns and rarely mentioned the name of the King of Japan.
Everyone knows that the legal system cannot be circumvented, but everyone remains silent at the same time, pretending not to see it, and each of them understands it tacitly.
Compared with the neglected Juiting on the side, the Japanese-style long flags hung on both sides are orderly and awe-inspiring.
Each family set up banners to express their support for the new Ashikaga shogun. High-ranking samurai armed with kodachi entered the side hall opposite the main hall to wait for the summons.
After Ashikaga Yoshiaki received the golden seal of the sword and was officially called the General of the Conquest, each family would present a Kodachi to express their respect and congratulations.
Ashikaga Yoshiaki glanced back at the main hall. Shiba Yoshigan, dressed in white, was sitting on the main throne, like a god enshrined in the main hall.
Her eyes turned to the slip of paper beside Shiba Yiyin, on which was placed the golden seal of the sword that made her salivate. When he looked up again and saw the white flag of Hachiman Taimu behind Yoshigami Shiba, his heart trembled.
The arrow is on the string and must be fired.
After today, the plan to expel Shiba Yiyin will be launched, whether it is to marry him off or... . He must disappear from the center of the shogunate!
A trace of guilt flashed in Ashikaga Yoshiaki's eyes, and then he gathered his determination.
I am the fourteenth generation Ashikaga Shogun, the pillar of the samurai family! No one can step on my head and tell me what to do!
nobody!
