Asai Nagamasa left sadly, and she did not realize that Oda Nobunaga had been clenching his fists tightly under his sleeves.
Oda Nobunaga drove people away without giving Hideyoshi Hashiba a chance to speak. Why?
Because Oda Nobunaga did not expect that the shogunate samurai family would be so shameless that they would want to destroy Yoshigan Shiba's reputation and drive him out of the center of the shogunate.
His dead wife was the shogunate. He rushed back from Kanto all the way to put down the chaos for the shogunate and worked hard.
For the sake of the shogunate, he even started preparations to fight against the Oda family, which had ten times more mobilization power than the Shiba family.
He had done all this for the shogunate, and yet these bastards from the shogunate wanted to harm him!
Shiba Yiyin, you stupid man. You try to protect these bastards, but they stab you in the back and rub salt into your wounds!
Alone in the room, Oda Nobunaga no longer had to hide her emotions. She violently turned over the documents around her, looking furious.
Her thoughts are simple and clear.
I can bully him because he doesn't listen to me and needs to be taught a lesson! But what is the garbage of the shogunate? Are you worthy of bullying him? Damn bastard!
Why did she drive away Hideyoshi Hashiba just now? She just didn't want to hear those filthy contents from her mouth, lest she lose control and kill those guys who spread rumors and cause trouble.
Oda Nobunaga gritted his teeth and told himself. If you endure it a little longer, you can't ruin your worldly ambitions for a man.
———
Hashiba Hideyoshi walked out of Tofukuji Temple dejectedly, and the concubines under her command who were waiting for her outside came forward to pay their respects.
Takenaka Shigeharu asked.
"My Lord, what does the main hall say?"
Hashiba Hideyoshi looked at her and sighed.
“As you expected, the main hall asked me not to meddle in other people’s business, and the shogunate was asked to handle the rumors themselves.
Let's go back. "
Seeing Hashiba Hideyoshi's frustration, Takenaka Shigeharu winked at the others and asked them to walk slower. He followed Hashiba Hideyoshi's footsteps, opened the distance between those behind him, and spoke to his master.
"What is on your mind, Lord?"
Hashiba Hideyoshi glanced at her and didn't want to reveal his affection for Shiba Yoshigan, so he just said perfunctorily.
"It's okay, I argued a few words inside and was reprimanded by the main hall, which made me a little depressed.
Although I worked hard to make progress, in the eyes of the main hall, I was still a nobody with little weight. "
Takenaka Shigeharu did not think about the personal relationship between his children and comforted him with a smile.
“Lord, for you to be able to reach this day as a commoner is already a step to the sky for ordinary people.
But in the heart of a big name like the main hall, which attracts the attention of the world, of course he is still a little person.
It is unwise for me to say anything too much. It is unwise for you to argue in front of the main hall today.
The shogunate had just completed the transfer of power, and the new general was eager to take action against the Odaisho. This was a good thing for the main hall.
Two dogs fight, play off.
The main hall looks so beautiful from the shore, you just have to go into the water to explore it. If you alert the fighting sides of the shogunate and become wary of the Oda family, the main palace will really kill you in anger.
You have made it this far because you have the ambition to make progress that is difficult for ordinary people to achieve. But it also happened to be a time of great strife, a good time and a good master.
Although the main hall is somewhat temperamental. . However, she was determined to forge ahead, reformed the bad government, and hired people regardless of their origins. She was a rare wise leader.
What you have to do now is to work hard and make the palace satisfied with you instead of disobeying her wishes.
You should know very well that without her, there would be no such thing as you. "
Takenaka Shigeharu was very sincere in her words, and many of her words were actually arrogance and should not be said, but she upheld her loyalty and still said it thoroughly.
Hashiba Hideyoshi also accepted the advice humbly and nodded.
She knew very well that her background was too low, and her status as a warrior Ji obtained by marrying into a low-level martial arts family was not at all attractive to high-ranking nobles.
After leaving Oda Nobunaga, who aspired to establish martial arts in the world, in the traditional atmosphere of samurai society, it was difficult for her to be a dog to other daimyo.
In the eyes of Takenaka Shigeharu, she climbed up quickly enough, but Hashiba Hideyoshi was getting more and more impatient.
She longs for Shiba Yoshigan, and respects Oda Nobunaga, a great Odaisho who has become loved by the world, and a great Daimyo who is already worth two million koku.
The extravagant hopes and assumptions hidden in my heart not only failed to close the distance due to my own efforts, but were instead pushed further and further away.
Today, the name of Shiba Yiyin, whom she admired, was tarnished by those in the shogunate through destructive means.
She finally couldn't help but say a few words in front of Oda Nobunaga, but the result made her even more disappointed.
Until now, she was an insignificant person. She was not in Oda Nobunaga's eyes, and she was not in Shiba Yiyin's eyes.
Hideyoshi Hashiba was unwilling to give in, she said melancholy.
"I don't know how long it will take before I can become a big man who speaks loudly and can't be ignored."
Takenaka Shigeharu didn't know the complicated thoughts in her heart, and smiled.
"Please be patient, your opportunity is not far away.
The fighting within the shogunate continued, and the main hall was strategizing. The forces of both sides are declining and the other is growing. With the great ambition of the main hall, they will not be entangled with the shogunate for too long.
The moment the Great Imperial Platform fails is when the Great Hall exerts its strength.
I once told you that you have no future in Owari Mino. Only by making military exploits and seeking development in Omi Province can you lay down your own foundation.
The great hall stirs up the general trend of the world and needs enterprising ministers. Owari's former minister was successful but lacked the fighting spirit to conquer the world.
As long as you maintain your current ambition, the hall will definitely be used for you, and the future is promising. "
Hashiba Hideyoshi nodded and looked into the distance.
"I hope the opportunity will come soon. I can't bear the loneliness anymore."
Takenaka Shigeharu then looked forward and said firmly.
"There are clouds in the sky, but if they don't sing, they will be a blockbuster. You are patient, and I am not patient."
Hideyoshi Hashiba laughed, returned to his usual optimistic look, and joked.
"Yes, you are a genius strategist in Meinong. If you can't make a name for yourself with me, you will definitely be laughed to death by the martial arts masters in Meinong in the future.
Don't worry, I will definitely succeed! You will definitely become the best strategist in the world! "
Seeing that Hideyoshi Hashiba was full of energy again, Takenaka Shigeharu smiled reservedly and bowed.
"Then it's up to you."
Hashiba Hideyoshi clapped his chest and shouted to the sky.
"Don't worry, leave it to me!"
———
On the other side, Asai Nagamasa felt unhappy and left the banquet to return to the Zen room of Tofukuji Temple where he lived, but unexpectedly found that her husband Ichikun had returned.
Asai Nagamasa suppressed his negative emotions and asked with a smile.
"Why are you back so early? Kyoto is much more prosperous than Odani City. If you don't take advantage of the opportunity to have more fun, don't regret going back."
The mayor stepped forward and took off his wife's coat, brought her into the room, and rubbed her shoulders.
“There’s not much to see.
The Miyoshi family made Kyoto a mess. Many intellectuals and craftsmen ran out to seek refuge. They have not yet returned, and the castle town is in severe depression.
I walked around with the guide and found that several places were dilapidated and deserted, which was not interesting. On the other hand, there was a commotion on the street as people were being arrested. They were arresting people now and releasing them now. It was quite a commotion.
I looked annoyed and came back earlier. "
Asai Nagamasa's heart sank. Although he didn't want to think about it, he couldn't help but ask.
"What's going on in the castle town?"
Ichikun looked very happy and said with a smile.
“It’s nothing more than rumors.
Kyoto is worthy of being at the foot of the shogun and the center of the shogunate. The people here are so courageous that even the Grand Imperial Office dares to fabricate rumors.
He said that he slept with His Highness Oda in Owari in order to avenge his family's destruction. He also slept with the Wu family who sent troops because they were worried that the other party would not do their best.
Furthermore, it was said that in order to stabilize the family business, he won over his subordinates and slept with them one by one, and even Shiba's important ministers slept in his bed.
There are so many rumors, and each one of them has its own nose and eyes, which is really interesting. "
The city king was already disgusted with Shiba Yoshigan, but he was secretly happy to see his reputation in the castle town of Kyoto.
He is just a male cousin who pretends to be pure and innocent, but deep down he is a slut. What blind woman would fall in love with such a wild man? The fallen flowers and willows are a shame.
She spoke enthusiastically, but she didn't notice that her wife's face was getting more and more ugly.
Asai Nagamasa punched the tatami with a bang, frightening the city king to pale.
"Nagamasa...what's wrong with you..."
Asai Nagamasa's eyes turned red and he bit his lower lip. She knew that although she was the Lord of Kitaomi, she did not have the weight to speak out in this Kyoto game.
In the fight between Ashikaga Yoshiaki, Shiba Yoshigan, and Oda Nobunaga, she could only stand on Oda Nobunaga's side and watch silently as Shiba Yoshigan was humiliated.
When he thought of those dirty words hurting the man he secretly loved, Asai Nagamasa hated his own incompetence.
For the sake of the family business, she has promised Oda Nobunaga to cooperate with her in attacking Fujido Toraka.
Does she really not know how big a blow the death of Toudo Toraka will have on Shiba Yoshigan? Of course she knows! But between family business and love, she has already made a choice.
Looking at the city king who was looking at him worriedly, Asai Nagamasa smiled bitterly.
As early as when she married the city king, she no longer had the qualifications to love Shiba Yiyin. She had already chosen the family business, so she could only watch as Yoshihiro Shiba was harmed in the political whirlpool of the shogunate.
Asai Nagamasa suddenly felt discouraged. She was unwilling to stay in Kyoto, this dirty political quagmire, for a moment longer.
"Ichikun."
"Hi!"
"Let's go back to Kitaomi, back to Otani Castle, and back to our home."
Ichikun was not without feelings in her heart, but seeing Nagamasa Asai's fragile appearance, she couldn't say anything to hurt her. Thousands of words turned into one word.
"good."
Looking at his beloved wife and remembering that she was devastated by another man, Shi Jun felt so sad in his heart.
What's wrong with him? . He is just a male cousin. .
Ichikun grew up in Owari, and he was not ignorant of the rumors between Oda Nobunaga and Yoshigoshi Shiba.
Seeing that his wife felt sorry for the unfaithful man, Ichijun felt that he was crazy with jealousy.
Just leave with your wife, and stay as far away from that fox as possible. That's a fairy, damn Tamamo Mae Tensei!
———
The ceremony has passed, and the business in Kyoto is over.
Asai and his wife bid farewell to Oda Nobunaga and petitioned the shogun to take it back.
At this time, no one in the shogunate cared about Asagamasa's departure, and everyone was paying attention to the rumors in the capital.
As the rumors fermented, Yiyin finally felt something was wrong. When Tu Qiong saw him, he was already not far away.
———
Sibo Mansion, inner courtyard.
Takada Yukino silently closed the door, glanced at Ii Naomasa who looked worried next to him, and said.
"Let's go."
Rumors spread in Kyoto, pointing directly at Yoshihiro Shiba. He submitted a letter requesting strict enforcement of the Ise Sadato religion, but was suppressed by Ashikaga Yoshiaki.
Even if Yiyin is wishful thinking, he already feels deep malice at this time. This limelight is not right.
Looking around Kyoto, he suddenly found that he was extremely lonely. Surrounded by a pack of wolves, he did not dare to show weakness to one person or ask for help from one person.
Ashikaga Yoshiaki, who helped him to the top, didn't seem to appreciate it, and Ise Sakyo was still alive and kicking. Ninagawa himself seemed to support him, but in fact he stayed far away and did not dare to speak.
Mibuchi Haru is unable to leave Shoryuji Castle, Hosokawa Fujitaka obviously has a problem, and Hosokawa Mibuchi and his family are no longer reliable. Hatakeyama Takamasa has low strength and extreme temperament, so he is not someone who can be relied upon.
Oda Nobunaga of Tofukuji Temple died, and Tokugawa Ieyasu and Asai Nagamasa left one after another, deliberately avoiding the political whirlpool in Kyoto.
Among the important ministers of the Shiba family, Yukimori Yamanaka and Katsuhisa Niko are helping to suppress Minami Kawauchi. Maeda's interests are guarding the Konki Shiba territory. Maeda Toshiie and Todo Toradaka are held in Minami Omi by Oda Nobunaga.
Akechi Mitsuhide, who was best able to advise Yoshiyin, was abandoned by himself and imprisoned in Tawen Mountain City, waiting to be dealt with.
Yiyin suddenly realized that except for the Hamo clan around him, he couldn't even find anyone to discuss with. This feeling of isolation made him shudder.
He was clearly thinking about the future of the shogunate, so how could he unknowingly end up on the opposite side of everyone? This is unreasonable!
The shogunate seemed to be respectful to him and went out to arrest those who spread rumors. But this did not suppress the rumors, but instead kept the popularity high.
Yiyin frowned and discussed with Kamouso clan indoors. Takada Yukino and Ii Naomasa gave up the room and walked along the porch to the atrium.
The two little enemies who were competing for favor in front of Yiyin now share the same hatred. They hate those who spread rumors and cause trouble, and the shogunate concubines who are behind it to add fuel to the flames.
Naomasa Ii looked at the sun in the sky and said bitterly.
"I wish I could kill all these bastards who are talking nonsense."
Takada Yukino glanced at her and said calmly.
“Then go and kill.
I have ordered the envoy to rush back to Beidahe overnight and let Yagyu Munenuki lead the Yagyu group into Beijing. "
Naomasa Ii suddenly looked back at her and said in shock.
"Does Ootai know about this matter?"
Takada Yukino's eyes were like water.
"Spomufu is cleaning up the mess, so you don't have to worry about it, my lord."
Only then did Ii Naomasa remember that this cute-looking guy in front of him was the head of the Shiba family and the theoretical superior of the Yagyu-gumi.
she said angrily.
"Masuke is an internal guard and is managed by Lord Nizi Katsuhisa in recent times. Naturally, there is no need to report everything to the Lord!
This is Kyoto, at the foot of the shogunate. If you mess up and ruin the master's plan, can you afford this responsibility? "
Takada Yukino looked at Ii Naomasa silently, with no warmth in his eyes, which made Ii Naomasa's back feel cold.
She pulled out Mikazuki Munechika, pointed directly in the direction of the castle town, and said.
"I promised the General that I would never let anyone hurt him."
