Mountain city, built on the mountain.
Kizawa Nagamasa, the guardian of Kawachi and the actual leader of the Hatakeyama family, encountered a little trouble.
At the beginning of the month, Kisawa Nagamasa was dissatisfied with the deposed Hatakeyama Nagasune, so he sent someone to assassinate him. This move actually has no practical significance, because Hatakeyama Nagasune has no prestige in the family and is basically a dispensable person.
But I don’t know if it was because Kizawa Nagamasa was distracted or because he was too strong. Anyway, it just happened.
Killing a Hatakeyama Nagasuke was not a big deal, but it also made Yuzuo Nagasuke, another talker in the Hatakeyama family, a little panicked.
Yuzuo Changjiao was not as powerful as Kizawa Nagamasa in the Hatakeyama family. The two initially had a honeymoon period and jointly controlled the power of the family. But now Kizawa Nagamasa's ambitions are too great and he is no longer satisfied with this situation of two people in power.
This made Yuzuo Nagasaki worried about whether Kizawa Nagamasa would take action against him next, so while Kisawa Nagamasa was confronting Hosokawa Harumoto in Yamashiro, Yuzuo Nagasaki, who was staying behind, stayed at the high house in Hanoi. The city raised its troops.
Because Hatakeyama Masakuni was now imprisoned by Kisawa Nagamasa, in order to confront Kisawa Nagamasa, Yuzuo Nagasaki specially welcomed back the previous family governor, Hatakeyama Masagi.
After hearing this, Kizawa Nagamasa on Mount Kasagi couldn't sit still. He left some troops to continue to guard against Kyoto on Mount Kasagi, and then personally led more than 10,000 people back to Shinkiyama Castle to confront Yuzuo Nagasaki.
The two sides launched a tug-of-war around Hanoi.
While the Hatakeyama family was fighting endlessly, the Kyogoku family in Omi finally gathered its forces.
Since this trip to Luka was in response to Ashikaga Yoshiharu's call to crusade Kizawa Nagamasa, Kyogoku Takamasa specially took Ashikaga Yoshiharu over from Kuchiki Valley and served as the general general of the "Cruelty Army".
Ashikaga Yoshiharu was also very sensible. Although he took over the post of general, he stayed at Kannonji Castle, handed over the command to Kyogoku Takamasa, and sent a small number of soldiers to participate in the war.
Since Kyoto was within Hosokawa Harumoto's sphere of influence, in order not to arouse Hosokawa Harumoto's fear and precautions, Kyoto Takamasa did not dispatch too many troops. He only recruited half of the regular troops of his own team and North and South Omi. In total, More than 8,000 people.
Kyogoku Gaomasa ordered the head of the Akao family, Akao Kiyosuna, and the head of the Aguan family, Aguan Sadage, to take the lead and enter the family governor first, while he led an army to follow.
On April 6, the Kyogoku Family Senjin entered Kyoto from Sakamoto. After learning about this, Hosokawa Harumoto did not show any attitude. He just sent a batch of military rations to express his support.
Three days later, Kyogoku Takamasa himself came to Kyoto.
After not seeing each other for many days, the two of them seemed particularly cordial.
"Sakyo Susumu, I haven't seen you for a long time, I miss you so much!" Hosokawa Harumoto held Kyogoku Takamasa's hand, his face filled with the joy of meeting a good friend.
Kyogoku Gaozheng also echoed, "If it weren't for family affairs, I would like to settle down as a family governor and serve as my attendant in charge of the palace."
"Every time I think of the days when I was with the Guanling Palace, I miss you a lot."
Kyogoku Takamasa knew about Hosokawa Harumoto's urinary properties, and he was quite face-saving, so in front of Hosokawa Harumoto, Kyogoku Takamasa behaved like an obedient little brother.
Hosokawa Harumoto was very satisfied with Kyogoku Takamasa's attitude. The two of them exchanged greetings like this for more than half an hour, and then Hosokawa Harumoto vaguely asked Kyogoku Takamasa's purpose of going to Luo this time.
Kyogoku Takamasa immediately replied, "The governor should know that after the shogun fled to Omi, he called on the world's great names to attack Kizawa Nagamasa. I have just taken over the position of family governor and have not made any achievements yet."
"It's just a good time to take this opportunity to send troops to attack Kizawa Nagamasa in order to stabilize the family."
After listening to Kyogoku Takamasa's words, Hosokawa Harumoto smiled and nodded, and then casually continued to ask, "So, the relationship between Sakyo and the Shogun is quite close?"
"The General is naturally respected by others, but in terms of relationship, it is far inferior to the friendship between me and the Guanling Palace."
"The general's summons was just for outsiders to see. I saw that Kizawachi dared to be rude to the leader of the palace, so I personally led the army to Luo to help the leader of the palace!"
Hosokawa Harumoto didn't care whether Kyogoku Takamasa's words were true or false, but these words alone were indeed what Hosokawa Harumoto wanted to hear.

"Good! As expected of Sakyo Susumu, you are my arm!"
"The current turmoil within the Hatakeyama family is a great opportunity to send troops to defeat the Hatakeyama family in one fell swoop!"
"It's a pity that the situation in Kyoto is unstable recently. It's really inconvenient for me to send troops. I wonder if Sakyo Shin would be willing..."
Before Hosokawa Harumoto could finish his words, Kyogoku Takamasa immediately responded, "Why should Kizawachi Kawauchi take charge of the leadership hall personally? Our Kyogoku family is willing to be the pioneer of the leadership palace. In this battle, I, Kyogoku Sakyoujin, will be the leader." Let’s take charge of the palace!”
"oh!"
"With Sakyo in and out, I can rest assured!"
"It's just that Xiang Zong and Fahua Temple caused chaos in Kyoto some time ago, and there are a lot of refugees. I'm afraid Kyoto's food is somewhat insufficient..."
"Our family has already prepared sufficient food and military supplies! It is our duty to serve the Guanling Palace, so how can we ask for food from the Guanling Palace?" Kyogoku Gaozheng looked solemn and upright.
As soon as Hosokawa Harumoto heard this, he stood up from his seat excitedly, looked around at the retainers with a happy expression and said, "Look, I said that Sakyo Susumu is a talent, you will believe me now!"
The surrounding political minister Miyoshi and others quickly agreed.
After Hosokawa Harumoto finished speaking, he turned around and took Kyogoku Takamasa's hand and said, "I really feel guilty for asking the Kyogoku family to send troops this time. I will petition the imperial court to ask Sakyo to enter the palace as a doctor. "
"I wonder if Sakyo-shin is satisfied?"
When Kyogoku Gao Zhengmeng heard this, he subconsciously wanted to thank him, but he quickly realized it.
Good guy, after testing for so long, you still want to dig a hole?
Kyogoku Gaomasa quickly made a frightened look and said, "Guan Lingdian is just a doctor of Ukyo now. How can I, how can I claim to be a doctor of Sakyo?"
"This is absolutely impossible. Please forgive me for refusing."
After thinking for a moment, Hosokawa Harumoto nodded and continued, "In that case, let's change it to a chef."
Compared to the fourth-ranked Sakyo-sama, Daizen-sama is the fifth-ranked official, which is lower than that of Hosokawa Harumoto. Only then did Kyogoku Takamasa accept the order and said, "Thank you for taking charge of the palace!"
Although he expressed his thanks, Kyogoku Takamasa felt unhappy in his heart.
Treating me as a gunman, without giving me any benefits, and giving me a symbolic official position has no practical significance at all. However, Kyogoku Takamasa also knew that the Hosokawa family had been working hard in recent areas for many years and still had prestige, so it was not the time to fall out with Hosokawa Harumoto.
"In charge of the leadership hall, the opportunity to fight is fleeting. If there are no other important matters, I will retire first and prepare to send troops to Hanoi tomorrow!"
Hosokawa Harumoto nodded, "I'll leave everything to Sakyo...ah no!"
"Then I'll leave everything to the chef!"
"Hahaha!"
After Kyogoku Takamasa left, the smile on Hosokawa Harumoto's face fleetingly disappeared, "Do you think you have any objections to Kyogoku Saburo?"
Chief Miyoshi said quickly, "Master Dashan has a solid basis for advancing and retreating. What I just said is based on what I saw, and I have no intention of antagonizing the master."
As a member of the same clan, Hosokawa Motaka also said, "The Kyogoku family and my family have always been on good terms, and the relationship between Mr. Daizen and the lord is also very good. He will definitely become the lord's arm and will never turn back."
"snort!"
"Didn't Sankimori say the same thing before when he strongly promoted the Miyoshi building in front of the building? What about now?" Hosokawa Motonsune, who had always been at odds with Hosokawa Mochitaka, sarcastically said at this time.
"How can the Kyogoku family be compared with Miyoshi and others?"
"Izumi Mamoru is talking nonsense!"
"The Kyogoku family is becoming more and more powerful now, how can we know if they have any second thoughts!"
"I beg to differ with Izumi Mamoru's words..."
Seeing that the originally harmonious atmosphere was broken in an instant, more and more people joined the argument between Hosokawa Motosune and Hosokawa Motaka, and Hosokawa Harumoto also had a headache.
Although Hosokawa Harumoto now has sole power, internal conflicts in the family are also full of problems.
"It's difficult..."
