Kyogoku Takamasa was speechless. Did he offend Hosokawa Motonsune in some way? Why do you have to target yourself everywhere?
Could it be that I am too handsome and this guy is jealous of my appearance?
"I would like to ask you how to address me. Is there anything that offends you?" Kyogoku Takamasa suppressed his dissatisfaction and turned to Hosokawa Motonsune.
Hosokawa Motonsune said with his head held high, "Hosokawa Harimamoru, the guardian of Izumi and Izumi! I did not deliberately target Ukyo before entering the palace, I was just discussing the matter!"
"Hell, go to the guardian Hosokawa Harimamoru, isn't this guy Hosokawa Fujitaka's father?" Kyogoku Takamasa reacted immediately, and then suddenly thought of why Hosokawa Motonsune was targeting him!
Speaking of which, Kyogoku Takamasa was completely shot while lying down. The reason why Hosokawa Motonsune has a prejudice against Kyogoku Takamasa actually comes from Hatakeyama Masakuni.
In other words, from the Hatakeyama family in Kawachi.
Hosokawa Motonsune was born in the Izumi guardian family, one of the branch families of the Hosokawa clan.
The Izumi guardian family is divided into two families, upper and lower, and adopts a two-person guardianship system, with one family controlling half of the territory. Hosokawa Motoyu's father, Hosokawa Motoyu, was the head of the Kamisho family, but he died in battle with Hatakeyama Nojun, the head of the Hatakeyama family, in the ninth year of Mei'io (1500 AD).
Thereafter, Hosokawa Mototsune succeeded to the throne. Due to the outbreak of the "Eishō Rebellion" at that time, the Hosokawa Kyōcho family (Zong family) was in civil strife. Hosokawa Motonsune supported Hosokawa Sumimoto (the father of Hosokawa Harumoto), while Hosokawa Masaru, who was under the guardianship of the family, supported his son-in-law Hosokawa Takakuni together with Ashikaga Yosumi and Hatakeyama Naojun.
The two sides fought hard, but in the end it was Hosokawa Takakuni's side that won. Hosokawa Motonsune's duty as the guardian of Izumi was banned, and he fled to Awa, Awaji and other places with Hosokawa Sumitomo.
Therefore, Hosokawa Motonsune hates Naohison Hatakeyama very much, and the high-ranking black hat in Kyogoku happens to be the son of his enemy (Masakuni Hatakeyama is the son of Naohison Hatakeyama), so how can he still have a good face?
"What a bastard, nothing compared to your son!" Kyogoku Takamasa secretly thought to himself.
Hosokawa Mototsune did not have any heirs in history, but adopted the son of his younger brother Mibuchi Haruwa who had been adopted into the Mibuchi family as his adopted son, and this adopted son was later Hosokawa Fujitaka (Hosokawa Tadaki's father) .
"It turns out it was Hosokawa Harimamori in person, so disrespectful and disrespectful!" Kyogoku Takamasa first complimented Hosokawa Motonsune, and then changed his tone and said with a hint of sarcasm, "I just didn't expect Harimamori to be the guardian of Izumami." The head of the family, an important member of the Hosokawa clan, actually wants to anger a child."
Okay, didn't you call me a little brat? Then why are you angry with me, a little brat? Are you ashamed?
After Kyogoku Takamasa finished speaking, Hosokawa Motonsune's face suddenly became unhappy.
At this time, Shigaraki Ibaraki quickly came out to smooth things over, "You two, please don't hurt your harmony!"
"Although Ukyo enters the palace at a young age, he defeated two enemies in a battle as early as last year. He is a famous warrior in Omi, known as Yasha Saburo!"
"Of course, Harima's defense of the temple is also for the sake of the overall situation. After all, this matter is of great importance, and everything is done for the sake of safety."
Ibaraki Shitaka is the lord of Settsu Ibaraki Castle and a citizen of the eastern Settsu region. The Ibaraki clan initially participated in the Settsu Kokujin Ikkei and joined forces to cause trouble, but were defeated by Hosokawa Masamoto and gradually worked for the Hosokawa clan.
In the seventh year of Dayei, Yanagimoto Kenji, Hatano Aimichi and others caused trouble and overthrew Hosokawa Takakuni in Katsurahara, Kyoto. Ibaraki Changtaka then turned to Hosokawa Harumoto to make a living.
At this time, Ibaraki Changtaka had been appointed as the chief minister by Hosokawa Harumoto and served as the acting official of the Kyoto area, gradually growing up. Now Ibaraki Shitaka is preparing to hug Harumoto Hosokawa's thigh tightly to achieve his goal of controlling the Settsu area.
Therefore, Ibaraki Shitaka attaches great importance to establishing a good relationship with the important ministers of Hosokawa Harumoto. Hosokawa Mochitaka and Hosokawa Motonsune are members of the Hosokawa family, so naturally they cannot offend them.
As for Kyogoku Takamasa, he still has to do things after receiving the money, right?
Ibaraki Chotaka came out to calm down the atmosphere, and Hosokawa Motonsune also rolled down the slope and found a step. Kyogoku Takamasa didn't intend to meet Hosokawa Motonsune in the same way, so the two of them stopped there.
Hosokawa Harumoto did have some favorable impressions of Kyogoku Takamasa, who was similar to his own age. Especially when Ibaraki Shitaka said that Kyogoku Takamasa had fought against enemies on the battlefield, Hosokawa Harumoto admired him very much.
"Ukyo is really young and promising when he enters the palace. Listening to what you said just now, I must be a man of extraordinary knowledge. I'm just very curious. Anyone with a discerning eye seems to be able to tell that Dr. Hosokawa Ukyo's side is stronger than me. Why does Kyogoku Do you want me to support you?"
"You know, the Rokkaku family and the Asai family in Omi both belong to Dr. Ukyo's side?" Hosokawa Harumoto asked.
This is what Kyogoku Takamasa was waiting for. He quickly looked at Hosokawa Harumoto with a sincere face, "The icing on the cake is not as good as providing help in times of need. Although my family is also the queen of a famous family, one of the four positions. But today's strength is no longer consistent with the name of the family. Even if What if I join Dr. Hosokawa Ukyo’s side? I guess Dr. Ukyo’s house also looks down on my family, right?”
"On the contrary, although Hosokawa Rokuroden seems to be inferior to Ukyo Daifuden, Rokuroden has the power of victory in the Battle of Katsuragihara in front of it, and has the great help of the retainers in the back."
"There are many loyal retainers such as Sanki Morden (Hosokawa Motaka), Iga Morden (Ibaraki Shitaka), and there are also Awa Clan, Awaji Clan, etc. from Shikoku to help. How can I lose to Dr. Ukyo?"
Seeing that Hosokawa Harumoto's interest had been aroused by him, Kyogoku Takamasa continued calmly, "On the other hand, on the side of Dr. Hosokawa Ukyo, there are many powerful names such as the Kitahata clan, the Asakura clan, the Takeda clan, and the Rokkaku clan. support, but these people all have their own agendas and may not be able to work together as one."
"So, I believe that when Rokuro-den and Ukyo-dofu-den compete, Rokuro-den will win ten times, while Ukyo-dofu-den will lose ten times!" Kyogoku Takamasa said firmly.
"What is ten wins and ten losses?" Not only was Hosokawa Harumoto's appetite whetted, but Hosokawa Mochitaka and others also looked attentive and stared at Kyogoku Takamasa for fear that Not a single word was missed.
Kyogoku Takamasa raised his fingers and said loudly, "Although Ukyo Daifu Hall has a large number of people and a strong force, people's hearts are different. However, Rokuro Hall coordinates all aspects and unites all parties. This is a victory!"
"The Ukyo Daifu-den has been defeated repeatedly in battles, and hastily fled to Omi like a lost dog. The Rokuro-den has won consecutive battles, and its power is unrivaled in Kinai. These two victories!"
"In the battle of Katsuragihara, Dr. Ukyo lost his troops and generals, and lost all his prestige. Rokuroden brought the power of victory, and the morale of his subordinates was like a rainbow. These three victories!"
"If the Rokuro-den in recent years has such ten victories, then the Ukyo-dofu-den will undoubtedly be defeated!" Kyogoku Takamasa methodically told the "ten wins and ten defeats theory" to Hosokawa Harumoto and others. After speaking, Everyone present was stunned.
To be honest, Hosokawa Harumoto, Hosokawa Mototaka and others didn't know that they had so many advantages compared to Hosokawa Takakuni. Everyone thought that Hosokawa Harumoto was the disadvantaged party before.
Kyogoku Takamasa’s words seemed to open the door to a new world for Hosokawa Harumoto and others.
