Oda Nobunaga drew his sword and chopped off the head of the Ise Sadato, frightening the various Hime warriors in the shogunate council.
Ashikaga Yoshiaki, who was at the head, was trembling, not knowing what Oda Nobunaga meant.
Seeing someone drawing a sword, the horseback crowd outside rushed in and surrounded the Oda Family Hime samurai headed by Oda Nobunaga.
Both sides drew their swords, and the atmosphere became extremely tense.
Niki Yoshimasa shouted.
"Everyone stop it!"
She looked at Wada Weimasa for help, what should she do? The Oda family's men and horses guard Kyoto, and together with the surrounding Minamiomi, there are still 30,000 soldiers!
Wada Weimasa swallowed and asked dryly.
"Your Majesty Oda, what do you mean?"
Oda Nobunaga glanced at Ashikaga Yoshiaki, who was sitting on the main seat, and smelled a faint smell of urine, with a hint of disdain at the corner of his mouth.
"Ise Sadakyo conspired with the Miyoshi family to murder the ancestors, and the crime must not be forgiven!
These days, she has repeatedly instigated the shogunate to undermine the relationship between the general and the Odaisho. Now, they want to encourage me to become a leader. How can I get along with the general?
These rebellious ministers and traitors should be found and punished by everyone. I just did what everyone wanted to do, no need to thank me. "
Wada Weimasa was stunned for a moment.
Oda Nobunaga was extremely arrogant when he committed murder in front of the emperor. But her words were firmly based on morality, leaving people wondering how to refute her.
Looking at Ashikaga Yoshiaki who had not yet come to his senses in the main seat, Wada Weimasa reluctantly asked.
"So, His Highness Oda came here today not to participate in the shogunate's deliberation, but to kill this traitor?"
Oda Nobunaga looked at Wada Weimasa and said seriously.
"I am a foreign vassal, so I am not qualified to participate in the shogunate affairs. Whether Luozhong's legal system passes or not is an internal matter of the shogunate and has nothing to do with me.
It's just that Miyoshi went up to Raku to kill the king. Although the three culprits Miyoshi and the Ise Sadao killed him, the crimes of the Miyoshi family must be investigated.
The shogunate should consider the murder of their ancestors and attack the three good traitors! We, the Oda family, are willing to be the vanguard and assist the shogunate in fighting against rebellion! "
Oda Nobunaga was so impassioned that Wada Weimasa didn't know what to say and helplessly looked at the superior Ashikaga Yoshiaki.
At this time, Ashikaga Yoshiaki only felt a little wet in his crotch, and his face turned red and white.
No matter how nice Oda Nobunaga said, she was indeed killing people in front of the emperor, unscrupulously.
Ashikaga Yoshiaki was so horrified that he seemed to have no way to deal with Oda Nobunaga.
Does she dare to order Ashikama to return to the crowd and capture Oda Nobunaga? Looking at Hitoshi Yoshimasa's attitude just now, it's clear that Ma Huizhong's boss has given up.
The Oda family's army has not yet retreated. At this time, Oda Nobunaga is in trouble. Who will stop the Oda family's army?
Ashikaga Yoshiaki vaguely remembered Yoshigan Shiba who left, gritted his teeth, and drove his figure out of his mind.
It was because he wanted to be arbitrary and monopolize power that he tried every possible means to get rid of Sibo Yiyin.
It's good now that Oda Nobunaga, a foreign vassal with a humble background, dared to embarrass himself in public, which Ashikaga Yoshiaki really couldn't accept.
She is a direct descendant of Kawachi Genji! She is Ashikaga Shogun! She has blood a hundred times nobler than Oda Nobunaga's!
But Ashikaga Yoshiaki had to bow his head at this moment. Ise Sada's body is on the ground. Who knows if Oda Nobunaga will go crazy again.
Ashikaga Yoshiaki hesitated to speak, Wada Weimasa was a little anxious, but Oda Nobunaga smiled slightly and said to a Hime Samurai next to him.
"Hideyoshi."
"Hi!"
One of the knight warriors she brought to the palace came out, it was Hideyoshi Hashiba, who bowed and obeyed the order.
Oda Nobunaga pointed to the dead heads of the Ise Sadato sect on the ground and said.
"Is the Ise family's mansion tightly surrounded?"
Hideyoshi Hashiba said respectfully.
"It's been taken care of, and no one will get away."
Oda Nobunaga nodded and said.
"Go ahead and leave no one behind."
"Hi!"
Hashiba Hideyoshi turned around and left, but the Ashikaga horseback crowd blocked the way and the two sides suddenly reached a stalemate.
The Ashikaga Hime samurai looked at the commanding Hitoshi Yoshimasa, whose heart almost jumped into his throat.
She looked at Ashikaga Yoshiaki in panic. Ashikaga Yoshiaki was even more panicked than her and nodded subconsciously.
Niki Yoshimasa breathed a sigh of relief, waved to the Ashikaga Hime Samurai, and let Hideyoshi Hashiba out.
Once Hashiba Hideyoshi left, Oda Nobunaga became even more powerful. As one goes, the other goes up, and the shogunate's mood becomes even more depressed.
Ashikaga Yoshiaki said.
"Oda-hime doesn't like the position of deputy general. Do you want to find a position as deputy general?"
As soon as these words came out, Wada Weizheng couldn't stand to listen. Ashikaga Yoshiaki's appearance of being tough on the outside but weak on the inside really makes the Ashikaga family embarrassed.
Ashikaga Yoshiaki also wanted to save face and appear tougher. But as soon as the words came out of her mouth, she regretted them. If Oda Nobunaga really agreed to kick the ball back, how would she catch it?
Oda Nobunaga glanced at Ashikaga Yoshiaki, smiled and said.
"I am Luoyin of the Ping family. I have no qualifications. The general is overly worried."
Ashikaga Yoshiaki breathed a sigh of relief. Oda Nobunaga finally gave him face. But Wada Weizheng's heart skipped a beat, and his face looked a little strange.
The two Yuanping clans are the leaders of the Wu family.
The Genpei War was actually a battle between the Ise Heike and the Kawachi Genji for the world. At that time, the Taira clan had the Genji samurai family under their command, and the Bando Hachihei clan also had the Kawachi Genji clan under their command.
Ashikaga Yoshiaki lost his temper in anger and made up the name of a deputy general, mocking Oda Nobunaga for his evil intentions.
The Ashikaga Shogunate is the direct descendant of the Genji family in Kawachi and protects the family structure within the system. It is the first rank of the Ashikaga family, the second rank of the Ashikaga clan, and the third rank of other branches of the Genji family.
All in all, Genji is the most expensive.
Oda Nobunaga retorted that the Taira family was descended from Yin, claiming to be a descendant of the Ise Taira family. Naturally, she could not hold the high position of deputy general. She was not worthy.
But the Oda family was born as the head of the Shiba family. Even though Oda Nobunaga was born into a common family, there was no reason to claim to be a descendant of the Taira family.
What does Pingshi Luoyin mean? The unrecognized bastard of the Ping family? Which Ping clan is she?
Wada Weimasa vaguely felt that Oda Nobunaga's words were not just to give Ashikaga Yoshiaki a step down, but also had other intentions.
The Ashikaga Shogunate held the banner of the Kawachi Genji and followed the military rites of the Genji. Oda Nobunaga claimed that the Taira family was the descendant of Yin, could it be wrong? .
Wada Weimasa was still thinking wildly, but Oda Nobunaga bowed to Ashikaga Yoshiaki and said.
"Now that the traitor Ise Sadakyo has been consecrated, I can no longer disturb the shogunate's deliberation.
How the legal system in Luozhong will turn out is an internal matter of the shogunate, and I cannot say more. However, the end of the Mihaoshi family is about revenge for the ancestors.
If the Sanhao family is not conquered, where will the majesty of the shogunate be? Please think again.
Lord Gongfang, I will take my leave now. "
After saying that, Oda Nobunaga turned and left.
The Ashikaga-hime samurai who had just let Hideyoshi go, naturally would not stand in the way of the murderous Oda family governor, and could only watch her leave gracefully.
A group of shogunate warriors watched with their own eyes as Oda Nobunaga slaughtered people in front of the emperor, then patted his buttocks and left, with different expressions on their faces.
Oda Nobunaga said that the shogunate would decide on its own without any involvement or interference. But the body of Ise Sadaoka is right in front of the princesses, how can everyone remain indifferent?
Ashikaga Yoshiaki's face was ugly, and his crotch was unbearably wet, and he said bitterly.
“That’s it for today, we’ll discuss it another day!”
A group of Ji warriors kowtowed to the ground, and the strange feeling in their hearts became more and more intense. The center of the shogunate is becoming less and less majestic.
———
In one day, the whole family of the Ise family, the deacons of the hereditary government who once held a high status among the shogunate, were escorted to the shore of the Kamogawa River.
Ise Sadaki howled that she was wronged and refused to submit, so Hideyoshi Hideyoshi personally helped her to look decent.
Hideyoshi Hashiba, who had been unable to suppress the wild fire in his heart for a long time, was extremely excited today.
Ise Sada was killed at the Nijo Imperial Palace, and his whole family was beheaded on the bank of the Kamogawa River. The blood of more than a hundred people dyed the river running through Kyoto red.
Oda Nobunaga, who was despised by the samurai of Kyoto as a country bumpkin, showed his fangs for the first time and scared everyone in Kyoto into silence.
The central samurai family, which was at home in the shogunate politics, felt the threat of the Oda family for the first time. Oda Nobunaga doesn't seem to care about the rules of the shogunate.
The Ise family was of high status and had deep connections within the shogunate. Even if the crime is really unforgivable, he still has to go through the interrogation process, be given the opportunity to commit seppuku, and die with dignity.
However, Oda Nobunaga was so cruel that he directly killed his entire family without asking whether he was guilty or not, which stung the nerves of all the shogunate samurai.
Tianjie trampled all the bones of the ministers, and the hearts of the shogunate families may not be without the sorrow of the death of the rabbit and the fox.
At this time, Hashiba Hideyoshi, who was regarded by the Kyoto samurai family as a vicious dog under Oda Nobunaga's family, was very satisfied with this result.
Unknown to everyone, he fulfilled his desire to avenge the one he loved deeply.
———
Looking at the blood-stained bank of the Kamogawa River, Hashiba Hideyoshi scolded his ashigaru to wash away the blood stains and collect the corpses to avoid causing the plague.
On the other hand, he asked Takenaka Shigeharu beside him.
"Hime Takenaka, I don't understand something.
The main hall rejected the shogunate's deputy general at Nijo Imperial Palace, which really surprised me.
Even if Lord Gongkata gave it reluctantly, with the thirty thousand soldiers of the Oda family on his side, there were many reasons why the general would not be willful.
If the main palace dares to see blood in front of the imperial court, why should it take advantage of the situation to establish the legal system in Luozhong and assume an important position in the shogunate?
In addition, before going to Luo, you made suggestions to the main hall and proposed strategies to support the invaders and respect themselves. Only by not wiping out the three good families can we contain the shogunate.
Why did the main hall propose to attack the Miyoshi family in front of the general? Has the palace changed its mind and no longer wants to use your strategy? "
Takenaka Shigeharu laughed.
Hashiba Hideyoshi was worried that if Oda Nobunaga gave up the legal system of Rakuchu, her post of Kyoto garrison would disappear.
Second, he was afraid that Oda Nobunaga would change his mind and not use Takenaka Shigeharu's strategy, and that he would lose the value of being reused.
Takenaka Shigeharu consoled him.
"Please rest assured, my lord, the palace has a strategy in mind, and her ambitions are lofty and admirable.
I heard that the main hall claimed that the Ping family was Luoyin in front of the emperor. Is this possible? "
Hideyoshi Hashiba was stunned and said.
"I left first, and then I heard a lot of things said by others, like this one.
I also can't figure out why the main palace gave up the great opportunity to become the shogunate.
Thirty thousand soldiers have been out for a long time. Yesterday I saw that Niwa Nagahide-sama came to the capital again, probably for the purpose of withdrawing his troops.
Once the army retreats and the shogunate has no scruples, the general will not be as tolerant towards the main hall as he is today. "
Takenaka Shigeharu nodded and said.
"What you are worried about, the palace knows better, but her intentions are bigger.
During the Kamakura shogunate, two generations of Shogun Minamoto Yoritomo died out, and Hojo of the Taira family was in charge of the shogunate. However, it was impossible for the royal family group to accept the Hojo family as the shogunate.
Therefore, the Hojo family welcomed back an heir from the emperor's bloodline and succeeded him as shogun. The real power of the Kamakura shogunate fell into the hands of the Hojo family.
But when the world was in chaos, the Hojo family, which was clinging to the big tree of the Kamakura shogunate, was restricted from all sides, and was eventually massacred by Genji.
Today's Ashikaga Shogunate is exactly like the Kamakura Shogunate. In the same way, General Genji is weak, but in the same way, the powerful ministers are strong.
Do you think that with the arrogance of the main hall, would you be willing to imitate the Hojo family? If you use the name of Genji to govern, you will eventually be overthrown by others using the name of Genji. "
Hideyoshi Hashiba nodded thoughtfully.
"Therefore, the main hall claims that the Ping clan is Luoyin and refuses to join the shogunate and participate in politics.
Because, even though she has great power today, once she borrows the name of Genji, she will eventually use the general to control the powerful ministers of the princes. If the name is not correct, the world will not follow her. "
Takenaka Shigeharu smiled.
“That’s the truth.
Our main hall has a very high spirit. She dares to innovate politics and break the privileges of the Wu family. Does she still care about a leader and deputy general given by Genji?
What she wants is to break away from the Minamoto family's Gongyi and establish the Oda family's Gongyi. "
Hashiba Hideyoshi narrowed his eyes, shocked by Oda Nobunaga's ambition. Deep in my heart, I had long been disobedient, and some strange envy could not help but leak out.
Maybe one day I can create my own public ritual system. Yu Shiba Gongyi, or a more majestic title.
Takenaka Shigeharu paused to let Hideyoshi digest the information, and then continued.
"I couldn't guess what the palace was thinking at first, but her attitude at Nijo Imperial Palace today made me sure.
She was unwilling to join the shogunate and claimed that the Ping family was Luoyin. This was because she wanted to establish a new Gongyi, completely abandon the shogunate, and follow her own path. "
Hideyoshi Hashiba said.
“The hall’s ambitions are high and indeed worthy of our admiration.
But what should I do? If the legal system in Luozhong does not pass, the defense of Kyoto as my agent must be unstable.
There is also the matter of Sanhao's conquest. Did the palace really change its mind and have other thoughts? "
Takenaka Shigeharu smiled.
"My lord, don't be anxious. In fact, I can probably guess some of the palace's thoughts.
You also know that Yamako Shengcheng, a Ji warrior from the southern barbarians, is training iron gunners for the main hall and planning specific military strategies for coordinated operations with iron cannons and spears.
I have also gotten to know him a bit these days, and I find that this person does have some abilities. Do you know what suggestions she made to the main hall? "
Hideyoshi Hashiba shook his head and Takenaka Shigeharu said.
"She wanted the main hall to occupy Sakai Port."
Hashiba Hideyoshi was stunned and puzzled.
“Sakai Port’s status is indeed important, but it is the lifeblood of the Miyoshi family.
The Miyoshi family was able to conquer all directions because it obtained a large amount of commercial taxes and transshipment materials through Sakai Port, and it was also able to connect the two territories of Shikoku and Settsu.
If the Oda family takes action against Sakai Port, the Miyoshi family will definitely react strongly.
Why would Shan Kesheng make this proposal to the main hall? "
