Akechi Mitsuhide desperately catered to the incident of kneeling and licking Oda Nobunaga. Takada Yono was looking at it as a joke. It wasn't just her, there were many people watching indifferently.
Akechi Mitsuhide has a good reputation both inside and outside Kinki. As the diplomatic representative of the Shiba family, he has an elegant appearance, is kind to others, is like spring breeze, is good at dancing, and can build relationships with all parties.
But behind everyone's praise, there is no one in the martial arts family who truly understands the nature of this dark fox who is not afraid of her.
Ashikaga Yoshiteru died only a few years ago, but many people who were actively and passively involved in the Kyoto Incident are still alive.
Hatakeyama and Ninagawa in the center, Matsunaga and Miyoshi in the local area, Niko and Maeda in the Shiba family, etc.
Everyone knows very well what kind of role Akechi Mitsuhide played in the fateful event of Miyoshi going to Luo and killing the general.
Except for the arrogant and arrogant Oda Nobunaga, a country bumpkin from Owari, who thought he could control Akechi Mitsuhide, everyone in Kinki would not be afraid of this elegant diplomat who was full of evil.
The rights and wrongs of that year, because each family was involved to some extent, were forced to remain silent, and the truth was covered up in history.
Even the saint was unwilling to get to the bottom of it and avenge Ashikaga Yoshiki, just because he was worried about pulling out the radish and bringing out the mud. When he got to the bottom of it, he pulled out a bunch of his own people, and finally dug out his own foundation.
Yoshigan Shiba could only hide at Ashikaga Yoshiteru's grave, wiping away his tears and saying a few heartfelt words. It was extremely hypocritical to only recognize Ashikaga Yoshiteru as his wife in this life.
People have been killed, but they only dare to cry and say that I will always miss you and miss you, but they dare not come forward to avenge her. It is simply shameless and obscene.
But Shiba Yiyin couldn't help it. This world was a shameless and obscene world. If he really didn't want to join in, he would have wiped his neck and left.
Since we have to continue breathing in this quagmire, no matter how disgusting we are, we can't get rid of all the mud on our bodies.
How can there be a clean person in this world?
Oda Nobunaga came to Kinki too late, and the truth of that year was covered up by relevant people. Although she had some guesses, she could never grasp the key.
Of course, as the Oda retainers grew in power along with the Oda family, there were always people who knew some clues, but what was interesting was that no one chose to tell Oda Nobunaga proactively, but watched Mitsuhide Akechi perform.
Oda Nobunaga was so powerful that her enemies feared her and her retainers also feared her.
She is a lonely strong person. Except for Shiba Yiyin, she never cares about other people's opinions and suppresses everyone with her superb iron fist.
Her courtiers were afraid of her and did not love her because she was too ruthless in what she did.
The Oda family controls the five kingdoms of Owari, Mino, Omi, Ise, and Echizen. With a stone height of three million, it is the most powerful clan in the world.
According to the tradition of the Wu family, the family property is the public property that belongs to the entire retainer group. The monarch and his subjects are one, and they share prosperity and loss.
But in the Oda family, this was not the case. The Oda retainers group had long been subdued by Oda Nobunaga.
When the Owari people refused to accept it, Oda Nobunaga joined the Mino people to balance it. Mino Owari joined forces, and Oda Nobunaga began to rely heavily on Omi and Ise people again.
Even among the core important ministers, big bosses like Lin Xiuzhen and Mamoru Ando can be deprived of their power and exiled at will.
Juniors like Hideyoshi Hashiba, who was born as a servant, could soar to the sky like a rocket as long as they were obedient and useful.
In a samurai society that prioritizes seniority, pedigree, and locality, Oda Nobunaga, a meritocratic and one-man dictatorial family governor, is simply an anomaly among aliens.
He is not satisfied with holding the five countries, and is unwilling to provide benefits to the retainers. Instead, he PUAs in the workplace every day, forcing everyone to work hard 996.
Shibata Katsuie's territory was changed to Echizen Province, forcing people to fight every day, and using the old foundation accumulated by the Owari faction and the Mino faction to attack Kaga.
Hashiba Hideyoshi had just established a foothold in Kitaomi, and Kitahata Xinbao was unpopular in Minamii. Oda Nobunaga ignored them all and forced them to send troops to Setsu Country, consuming his little capital.
In short, Oda Nobunaga's method was to constantly move his retainers to guard new territories and conquer new territories, constantly consuming the vitality that the retainers had worked hard to accumulate, and preventing the retainers from having the strength to fight against him.
As a result, Oda Nobunaga's strength grew rapidly like a snowball, but her retainers were like donkeys who were always working hard.
Even though Shibata Katsuie is already the lord of the Echizen 400,000-koku country, and Hashiba Hideyoshi is already the Kitanomi 120,000-koku daimyo, neither of them has any sense of happiness, only a sense of crisis.
Because Oda Nobunaga was not a follower of rules, the traditions of the samurai family were like pieces of tissue paper to which she tore casually, and the territory of retainers could be changed at any time.
The relocation front was won and the war continued. If she loses, Lin Xiuzhen will be deprived of all her achievements and power, and get out naked.
In such a work environment full of wolf culture, how can any employee feel happy and secure?
The core ministers promoted by Oda Nobunaga were all complaining constantly, and the second- and fifth-level officials like Matsunaga Hide who had taken refuge were even more miserable.
Therefore, even if Akechi Mitsuhide was dancing in front of him, even if he knew that Akechi Mitsuhide had bad intentions, Matsunaga still kept his mouth tightly shut.
Matsuhisa Nagahide may have true feelings for Miyoshi Changqing. When she tried to trick Miyoshi Changqing, she still had a little conscience.
But when it comes to Oda Nobunaga, the surly master, Matsunaga Hide has no sense of gratitude at all. He only thinks about how to fish in this muddy water and maximize his own interests.
Most of the Kinki samurai and Oda retainers had this idea, and Oda Nobunaga gradually fell into a blind situation.
Behind the seemingly overwhelming power, in fact, the farther you go, the farther you go and the lonelier you get.

All the concubines in Kinki are watching the show. If there is one person who is worried about the country and the people, it must be Nizi Katsuhisa.
Koriyama City, residence.
Nizi Katsuhisa put down the document in his hand and sighed. Tachihara Hisatsuna bowed and asked.
"Sir, is there any new trend in the Maori family?"
Seeing Tachihara Hisatsuna's excited expression, Nizi Katsuhisa was speechless for a moment.
In these years, Nizi Shengjiu recruited wandering Nizi's remaining ministers and developed well in Kinki.
The Maori family seldom moved outside the Western Kingdom, and the Nizi family revived in Kinki. The two sides could be considered to be on the same page.
But this time, the Mori family used Ashikaga Yoshiaki's brand name to reach into Kinki to cause trouble, which immediately excited the remnants of Nizi's old party.
It is never too late for a woman to take revenge. It has been more than ten years since Nizi's family was broken up. Finally, the voice of the Maori family has been heard in Kinki. How can we not make the people in Nizi's mountain excited?
Nizi Shengjiu was not happy about this.
Just now, Shiba Yoshigan and Oda Nobunaga got along well with each other in Fushimi Castle and established a cooperation mechanism.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he left for Kanto, Akechi Mitsuhide turned to Oda Nobunaga, completely destroying the newly established coordination and control mechanism.
Nizi Katsuhisa didn't think that Akechi Mitsuhide had any good intentions for Oda Nobunaga. Ashikaga Yoshiteru's body was still cold, so whoever believed in Akechi Mitsuhide would be a fool.
But the problem is that Nizi Katsuhisa really has no way to deal with Mitsuhide Akechi, especially after the Mori family intervened in Kinki affairs.
Akechi Mitsuhide is a real bastard, and she is very aware of the deep hatred between the Nizi family and the Mori family.
Therefore, Akechi Mitsuhide helped Oda Nobunaga settle various families in the Western Kinki region and isolated Araki Murushige and Kenjosho.
On the other hand, Akechi Mitsuhide also stoked the fire within the Kinki Shiba Territory, arousing new and old hatreds among the Nizi Mountain Party.
Kinki Shiba Territory is the largest territory of the Shiba family, with a stone height of 200,000.
Spo Yiyin's original territory plan has been completely distorted after years of internal political games.
Shima Katsuo left Kanto, Toudo Takatora left the Shiba family, Otani Yoshitsugi relied on Maeda's interests, and Akechi Mitsuhide had his territory reduced due to punishment and had to concentrate on diplomatic influence.
In today's Kinki Shiba territory, the two largest forces are Nizi Katsuhisa of Koriyama Castle and Maeda's interests in Ueno Castle.
Nizi Katsuhisa is echoed by Yamanaka Yukimori, the deacon of the Kanto Service Office who is far away in Kanto. Maeda's interests are supported by the blood alliance of Maeda Toshiie, led by Owari Shiba, and the two sides are equally powerful.
As the Kinki General of the Shiba family, Maeda Yoshida is the commander-in-chief of the Kinki-Shiba coalition forces and is an out-and-out war fighter.
Military merit is the foundation of her life, and fighting hard is her daily life. I don’t know why this self-proclaimed intellectual is so keen on fighting. Do you really think that the more he fights, the more the saint will love her?
Nizi Katsuhisa is the acting official of Kinki Shiba. Stabilizing the overall situation, developing the economy, and building the territory are her scope of responsibilities. She has always been a peacemaker.
Especially after the Kyoto Incident in which Ashikaga Yoshiteru was killed, Yoshihiro Saba was disappointed with the Kinki Princesses' obedience.
Nizi Shengjiu, a conscientious and hard-working acting official, immediately stood out among the bastards and could be relied upon.
Yoshihiro Shiba simply gave Katsuhisa Niko the highest authority in Kinki, allowing her to control all forces in Kinki Shiba.
In other words, Nizi Katsuhisa was responsible for the stability of Shiba's power in Kinki. Akechi Mitsuhide was one-sided and helped Oda Nobunaga expand, which made Nizi Katsuhisa very angry.
Akechi Mitsuhide always cared about killing and not burying him, but in the end it was the unlucky guy Katsuhisa Nizi who wiped the butt.
The saint trusts you, and your kindness is as great as the ocean. Nizi Shengjiu must be responsible for your Majesty, so naturally you cannot let Akechi Mitsuhide act recklessly.
But Akechi Mitsuhide is not a good person. She actually stirred up the hatred of the Maori family within the Nizi Mountain Party, making Nizi Katsuhisa's rear unstable. The martial arts under his command even wanted to cooperate with Akechi Mitsuhide.
Nizi Shengjiu had a headache now.
