Ninagawa himself bowed and said.
"My subordinates are frightened and must devote all their energy to serve the Great Imperial Palace.
Mr. Gongfang was deceived by a traitor and became confused, so he did such wrong things that caused pain to his relatives and pleasure to his enemies. "
No matter how badass Ashikaga Yoshiaki is, she is already Ashikaga Shogun. It is impossible for Ninagawa himself to say that the general is at fault. It must be the work of a traitor!
Yiyin glanced at her and saw that the old fox was speaking impeccably, so he stabbed her.
"Then Ninagawa-sama, do you want me to side with you?"
Ninagawa himself was shocked, quickly shook his head and said.
“No, not really.
The shogunate is no better than the Celestial Empire. It has its own national conditions. What Odai said is too serious. "
Ever since the Ming Emperor played a trick of killing his niece and seizing the throne, the term "Qingjunzi" has become completely stinky in the Chinese cultural circle, which is analogous to abdication.
Ninagawa Makoyo said.
"The ancestors had wisdom long ago. In order to prevent villains from messing up the government, they established leaders to assist the generals in managing the government.
Let me say something disrespectful, Master Gongfang was born in a monastery and learned Buddhism through five chariots, but the knowledge of governing the world still needs experience.
The current mess in the shogunate is that there is a lack of a sensible leader to help the general suppress those arrogant people. "
Yoshigan raised his eyebrows, and Hatakeyama Takamasa's eyes began to light up.
Ninagawa's words were confused by what she said, but the two people present were born in the third rank, so they naturally understood what she meant behind her, which was to evade the general.
The history of internal strife in the Ashikaga shogunate is basically a process of power struggle between the general and the three leaders, with the occasional addition of the strongest Yamano family among the four positions.
General Ashikaga is a fool, but there is no need to overthrow her. The matter is so big and the impact is not good. All he had to do was remove her power. It's not like this has never happened before.
As for Yoshigan Shiba, there happens to be a suitable candidate, and that is Takamasa Hatakeyama.
Hatakeyama Takamasa is one of the three leaders. She is the governor of the Hatakeyama clan. She is qualified to be the leader.
Ninagawa's method was the traditional shogunate's power, the old trick of turning the general into a puppet.
While Yoshigan was still thinking, Hatakeyama Takamasa already kowtowed to him and said.
"Dad, if I can become the leader, I will be loyal to you and keep an eye on those idiots in the shogunate for you."
Hatakeyama Takamasa lost his face, why? It was to revive the Hatakeyama clan. If Shiba Yiyin gave her half the country of Hanoi, she would be willing to be a mad dog and bite people indiscriminately in the council.
Although the leadership of the shogunate is not as prosperous as before, it is a good opportunity for Hatakeyama Takamasa, whose family business has declined and whose reputation has been ruined, to reorganize the family business.
What's more, Shiba Yiyin is not an arbitrary person, and her leadership still has some real power.
Just because the benefits were big enough, Hatakeyama Takamasa called him his biological father again with a look on his face, which made Yoshigan Shiba feel goosebumps all over his body.
Looking at Ninagawa Makoyo with an expectant look on his face, and then at Hatakeyama Takamasa who was a father-in-law, Yoshigan felt his teeth sour.
First, he supported the arrogant Ashikaga Yoshiaki, now he wants to support the crazy Hatakeyama Takamasa?
Thinking of Hatakeyama Takamasa's massacre of the Yusa family regardless of old feelings, Yoshigami didn't think her character could be much better than Ashikaga Yoshiaki, it was like raising another white-eyed wolf.
Besides, there is Oda Nobunaga outside.
Oda Nobunaga has broken with herself. Can she watch her sideline Ashikaga Yoshiaki and hide behind Hatakeyama Takamasa to control the shogunate?
Even if Yoshigan wants to be Empress Shiba and listen to politics from behind the curtain, he still has to guard against Hatakeyama Mitsuo's sweet talk and secret sword, and Oda Shikai's eye on him.
In this case, it is better to maintain the status quo. Keep Ashikaga Sushun as a white-eyed wolf, at least he won't have to make a table of mahjong in the future, which will be even more troublesome.
Seeing Yoshigan's hesitation, Hatakeyama Takamasa and Ninagawa Makoto couldn't help but feel anxious.
They were already at odds with Ashikaga Yoshiaki, and they all relied on Yoshigoshi Shiba for their wealth and wealth. Of course they hope that Sibo Yiyin will attack decisively and the east wind will prevail over the west wind, so that they can live a good life.
Hatakeyama Takamasa kowtowed.
"My dear dad! If you keep cutting off, you will suffer chaos!"
Yiyin rubbed his temples and said.
"Your Highness Hatakeyama, don't call me by this name anymore. I always feel that I will panic and my life will be shortened.
Ninagawa-sama, do you know that His Highness Oda of Tofukuji Temple and the Shogun already have a tacit understanding? If there is a major turmoil in the shogunate, the shogun will not be without foreign support.
At that time, Kyoto will suffer another military turmoil, and the authority that the shogunate has finally restored will be completely destroyed. "
Yoshigan's reason was so pitiful that Ninagawa himself couldn't help but sigh.
People like Ashikaga Yoshiaki only wanted to keep their own positions of power. They never thought about the future of the shogunate and the peace of Kyoto.
She admired Shiba Yiyin's noble character even more and said respectfully.
"I understand what the Great Otai Suo means.
The turmoil in the shogunate will naturally give outsiders opportunities to take advantage of it. But if the shogunate is not in turmoil, can the general be able to calm down? "
Yiyin's expression changed and he asked.
"What's the plan?"
Ninagawa Makoto smiled.
"At today's council meeting, I used words to force the Ashikaga ministers. Wada Weimasa was still hesitant, but Niki Yoshimasa was impatient and came out to make peace.
Odaisho, don't you think it's strange? "
Shiba Yiyin narrowed his eyes.
"It's indeed a bit weird, why is that?"
Ninagawa Makoyo said.
"Because Niki Yoshimasa was afraid of the commotion among the Ashikama Hui, she was afraid that she would not be able to control the Ashikama Hui and lose the capital to settle down and live.
The Ashikaga Hui's Five Hundred Princess Samurai are the military force directly under the Ashikaga family, and they have always been favored by the ancestors.
This time Ise Sadato forced you to uterus, which makes you feel embarrassed, and it is also a smear on the face of the ancestors. His Highness Hatakeyama argued with Odaisho's lamentation, but they saw it in their eyes.
If Niki Yoshimasa doesn't come out and say a few words, his good days will be over. If she couldn't control the Ashikaga clan, what qualifications would she have to sit in the front seat with the Niki family's little wealth?
The great grass family among the public has been loyal to the Ashikaga family for generations, and the current governor of the family is taking on the responsibility of writing the Ashikaga Hui family. If Da Yutai is willing, I am willing to go out and find Da Cao and have a good chat.
Lord Gongkata has just succeeded to the throne and has no foundation in the shogunate. He relies entirely on the support of his predecessors and his party.
The defense of Nijo Imperial Palace is the responsibility of the Ashikaga Hui clan. As long as they are willing to stand by your side, small changes within the shogunate will not cause big disturbances and allow outsiders to get involved. "
Yiyin nodded slightly, still feeling a little uneasy, and asked.
"Kongkata-sama is already in power, doesn't he know how to win over Ashikaga?
Although she was a little confused, she wasn't so confused that she didn't even bother to win over the pro-soldiers around her, right?
The Ashikaga Hui clan has always been loyal only to the general, how could they be willing to stand up for me? "
Yiyin's so-called loyalty to the Wu family has always been a 20% discount and then a 20% discount.
The Wu family puts family business first, and their loyalty to their lord is more of a transaction than a trade. It is not uncommon for family shareholders, such as family members who have taken shares, to overpower their superiors for the sake of profit.
Why is Fenggong Enshou called the cornerstone of the Wu family? Because the boss who is willing to hand over the money and deliver the goods is the most recognized leader among the Ji Warriors.
After serving the throne, you must realize the benefits, otherwise who the hell would help you!
No matter how much Ashikaga Yoshiki gave her in the beginning, now that she has become completely cold, he will not be able to give her any more in the future.
Speaking of Ashikama recalling the kindness of Ashikaga Yoshiteru, Yoshigine believes that the human heart is always full of flesh.
But he didn't quite dare to believe that the Ashikaga Council was willing to overthrow the current lord, Ashikaga Yoshiaki, for the old favor of the old lord.
This group of pro-soldiers who did not have supplies from their own territory could not bear the reputation of being a subordinate.
The dining table is overturned. What do these Warrior Ji’s family always eat? For the sake of kindness to the ancestors, let the whole family go to drink the northwest wind? This is not the style of the Wu family.
Seeing Yoshigin's confusion, Ninagawa Okayo explained with a smile.
"Master Gongfang is powerless.
The income of the shogunate has been declining over the years. It was already stretched when the ancestors were alive, and it is even worse now.
The shogunate's finances mainly relied on donations from local samurai families, tributes from the shogunate samurai families, and taxes from Kyoto's castle towns. You know, all three of those things suck.
The previous generations worked hard and thought of many ways, all to solve the problem of military expenditure.
But Miyoshi went to Luo, and Kyoto was in chaos. From the beginning of this spring to now, the shogunate has almost no new income.
The Ashikama Hui clan's job and salary had been cut off for some time, which was very difficult for them. "
Yiyin woke up and found out that was the case.
Ninagawa himself was confident that he could bring Ashikaga back over, because Yoshihiro Shiba was rich and Yoshiaki Ashikaga was poor.
Although what she said was reserved, Yiyin understood it. Regarding the shogunate's finances, Yoshihiro also knew something about it.
With the decline of the shogunate, the local imperial palaces had been almost completely occupied by local samurai families.
Originally, the local samurai family pretended to donate money to the shogunate to cover up the scandal of local annexation of the imperial palace.
But as the strength of the shogunate declined, local samurai became more and more unscrupulous. During the Kyoto Incident, the authority of the shogunate fell sharply, and the local military families did not take the shogunate seriously, so naturally their donations dropped sharply.
The samurai clan within the shogunate was mainly enshrined in Yamashiro Kingdom and its surrounding shogunate territories. This was also the reason why Ashikaga Yoshiteru and Ise Sadism completely broke up.
In order to revive the Ashikaga family, Ashikaga Yoshiteru needed a lot of military expenditures to expand the military, and he needed to control the shogunate's territory, and they would provide sufficient supplies.
This seriously violated the interests of the shogunate group, and eventually led to the shogunate standing by and watching Miyoshi go to Luo and kill Ashikaga Yoshiteru.
Now that Ashikaga Yoshiaki is in power, her footing is not stable and she needs to win over the ministers. Naturally, she can no longer take advantage of the interests of the ministers.
The last piece of tax revenue from Kyoto castle towns was due to the Miyoshi army plundering Kyoto castle towns. A large number of merchants, town residents, and cultural people fled. It was a period of depression.
The castle towns in Kyoto were a treasure trove for the shogunate. They had already suffered heavy losses during the Miyoshi period, and they could not allow Ashikaga Yoshiaki to drain the lake and impose heavy taxes on the castle towns.
After all the calculations, Ashikaga Yoshiaki, a general, really deserves to be called a poor official. He is indeed extremely poor.
The news that Shiba Yiyin controlled the Hokurikudo trade route, and that the Shiba Tadashi Foundation was going to provide annuities to grassroots warriors, spread a lot outside.
High-ranking martial artists ridiculed Shiba Yiyin's husband for his benevolence, giving out money randomly and raising a lazy wife. But who wouldn’t envy the grassroots Ji warriors of each family?
At this moment, Spozhong Fund is still a piece of cake, and everyone is still half-convinced. When the day comes that food is actually distributed, the lower-class warrior girls from other families will be jealous to death.
The situation of Ashikaga's return to the crowd is a bit like Shibata Katsuie's predicament in Owari.
At that time, although Shibata Katsuie controlled the standing army of the Oda family, these people were poor people who had no territory and relied on their jobs and salaries.
Without fighting, there would be no rewards, and without knowledge and deeds, they could only eat chaff.
Therefore, when Oda Nobunaga told them to lead them to win the battle and seal the territory, Shibata Katsuie's eyes turned red, and he knelt down and worked as a dog for Oda Nobunaga until now.
The Ashikaga clan members also live in a cowardly manner, with no meal left.
The ministers still had their own territories, and the shogunate could not provide money or food, so they could serve the shogunate for free in a high-spirited manner.
But the Ashikama Hui people really couldn't survive. They needed military expenses to eat, and some of them also needed to support their families.
Ashikaga Yoshiaki has no money to support them, which is already very annoying. He also wanted to dominate and command them in the name of Ashikaga Shogun.
The territory of the manager Niki Yoshimasa is on the edge of Iga country, with only a few small villages in the mountains.
Not to mention that she is unwilling to use her own money and food to subsidize the Ashikaga family's troops. Even if she is willing, can she afford it with her little capital?
The senior officials of the shogunate talk about things in high-spirited terms, but when it comes to spending their own money to supplement the shogunate's deficit, who would be willing?
The Ashikaga Hui are now relying on Sakamoto Castle to supply supplies, but it is obviously not enough for one city to support five hundred Hime samurai.
Faced with the embarrassing current situation, Ashikama Hui people will certainly miss their ancestors and express gratitude and remembrance.
If Shiba Yoshiyin, the deceased son of the ancestor, was willing to use money and food to win back Ashikaga members, they would most likely stand up to defend justice.
The righteousness is awe-inspiring, and there is still food to eat, so why not do it?
Seeing that Ninagawa's words were clear and logical, Hatakeyama Takamasa became more and more excited and bowed.
"Dad... Otaisho, please make a decision immediately!"
Looking at the two people who were looking forward to it, Shiba Yiyin was still a little hesitant.
Judging from Ninagawa's suggestions, it is not difficult to sideline Ashikaga Yoshiaki, a poor official. But the question is, should Yoshiyin take over the mess of the shogunate?
Ninagawa himself is an old thinker, and his mind is still stuck on the ideas of the shogunate for thousands of years. Hatakeyama Takamasa was blinded by his power and position, and could only see the majesty of his leadership.
But Yi Bank is very clear that the shogunate is now on the verge of collapse, and it is a negative asset that will be liquidated sooner or later.
The forced marriage at the council meeting made him too sad, and he didn't want to fall into this unsolvable quagmire again.
If Ashikaga Yoshiaki is sidelined, he will inevitably be tied more tightly to the shogunate. When the shogunate overthrows in the future, he will also be affected. This is not a good deal.
While he was hesitating, footsteps came from the porch outside the tea room.
Kamao Clan appeared in front of the three people with Yagyu Munenomi and bowed.
Yiyin frowned. Kamaojigo was not a person who didn't understand the rules. She suddenly interrupted the tea party between the three of them. Did something happen?
"what happened?"
Kamojigo said.
"Odaisou, Yagyu-hime was ordered to come to the capital, and happened to encounter a big event, so I rushed to report it to you."
