When Ashikaga Yoshimitsu and the envoys of the Ming Kingdom, Yang Xu and Zheng He, were about to personally interrogate the leader of the Yajiao Qu pirates, Tayama Kikuni angrily sent him the news that the important criminal he had taken into custody had been assassinated. This matter immediately caused an uproar in the Beishan Palace, and all the ministers of the three management leaders were involved.

Oda Tsunematsu's people have rushed back from the Owari Starry Night, and have figured out the identity of this pirate leader, his name is Oda Hidetoshi, he is indeed a member of the Oda family, as the son and nephew of the Oda family, Oda Tsunematsu has full control over him and will not do stupid things that trap the head of the family, and Spoyoshi will also be relieved after hearing the report.

When he came to Ashikaga Yoshimitsu today, he originally wanted to see the ridiculous faces of His Excellency the General and Hosokawa Manmoto when he retracted his confession in court, but he didn't expect that the prisoner was dead, and this time Spoyoshi would be stuck to the crotch of his pants, not but, which made him annoyed.

Hosokawa Manyuan, who didn't know the secret, was even more dissatisfied, and decided that this was Tian Shan Kikoku selling to General Si Bo and intentionally giving the other party a chance to kill people, so he unceremoniously shouted in harsh language in front of Xia Xun and Zheng He, the two envoys of the Ming Kingdom, and attacked General Si Po Yi and Hosokawa Manyuan for colluding and destroying the evidence.

In Tayama Kikuni, the only person who has a reason to assassinate a murderer is General Spo. The old fellow was enraged by the assassination of General Spo, and to be honest, he did not want to get involved in any dispute between the Sposhi and Hosokawa clans, and now that Spoi was forcibly tying him to the chariot by the most despicable means, Tayama Kikuni was furious about it.

He told Ashikaga Yoshimitsu to his face that General Spoyoshi had led people to the Turtle Temple and forcibly asked to meet with the prisoners who were refused, in order to imply that the Assassins had a great relationship with General Spoyoshi, and then ordered all the samurai who guarded the Temple to commit suicide that night to apologize, and his violent actions confused Hosokawa Mitsumoto for a while: if Tayama Kikuni really took refuge in Shogun Spo, it seemed that there was no need to use such drastic means to dissect himself.

Immediately afterwards, the news that someone found the corpses of two ninjas was also quickly sent to the North Mountain Temple, compared to the corpses after they arrived, although no one knew these two ninjas, but from everything they carried, it was already possible to confirm the identity of the ninjas of the two, and hiring ninjas to do some unsightly things was what the daimyo and guardians often did, and the discovery of the two ninja corpses only had a heavier suspicion of General Spo.

In the face of the chaotic situation in which the three leaders attacked and blamed each other, Xia Xun and Zheng He also euphemistically expressed their dissatisfaction and concern to Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, they were worried that the collusion with pirates could interfere in the affairs of Kyoto and kill an important witness under close supervision, so whether the Japanese side could effectively implement the strategy of suppressing bandits was a question, and if the Japanese side could not do this, then they would immediately return to China, ask the great emperor, and cancel trade with Japan.

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu immediately made a promise to the two envoys of the kingdom that he would urge the daimyo and guardians in various places to strictly implement the methods of attacking the pirates, and ordered the pursuit of the pirates who had fled ashore throughout the book, and immediately issued an order to write the whole country in the name of the emperor. By this time, General Spoy had already issued a law to expound his influence and make all kinds of obstacles to the capture of pirates. He was already in a situation, and just clearing his grievances and resisting the pressure from His Excellency the General, Hosokawa Mitsumoto, and Tayama Kikuni was enough for him to be anxious.

After obtaining Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's promise, Xia Xun reluctantly promised to stay until he saw Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's sincerity in suppressing bandits. Ashikaga Yoshimitsu breathed a sigh of relief and sent his close retainer Kannon Daifu Ami to accompany the two Celestial Envoys to Edo for sightseeing and relaxation, and Xia Xun and Zheng He patted their butts and visited Mt. Fuji. The three lords of the shogunate were beaten into a pot of porridge, and the retainers who belonged to the three lords and the daimyo and guardians who were close to the discordant lords joined the discordant camp, because of the Kamitome Temple incident, the contradictions that had been accumulated among them for a long time completely exploded.

"It turns out that the envoy of the Ming Kingdom deliberately grabbed a pirate leader, and his real purpose was not to use this to bite the Sibo Commander, but to arrest and then kill, and provoke the suspicion between the three Rulers, so as to increase the Tianshan Leader to move closer to me?"

Things have come to this point, if the Kasuga Bureau still doesn't understand what the young and handsome Ming envoy needs her to do, she is not worthy of intervening in such a big thing as seizing tomorrow. Kasuga held his cheeks and sat in front of the makeup mirror and thought secretly: "Doing this is undoubtedly maximizing the use value of a pirate leader, far more than his designation, which will cause much more substantial damage to such a powerful prince as Si Boyi." ”

Thinking about it, she sighed faintly: "What a fascinating guy! ”

The Spring Bureau was secretly frightened by Yang Xu's calculations. This year's light, handsome and wise envoy of the Ming Dynasty has deeply conquered her heart,

At this time, a maid walked in and reported: "Madam, the leader of Tianshan has arrived!" ”

The Kasuga Bureau let out a soft "ah", immediately stood up, and walked out quickly.

She had already taken the opportunity and began to woo the operation.

She began to make frequent contact with Tayama Kikuni to dispel the hostility and distrust between him and Hosokawa Mitsumoto, and to win him over for her own use.

Tayama Kikuni could not afford to be enemies on both sides, and resented that General Spo had trapped him in injustice, and under the skillful mediation of the Kasuga Bureau, he began to slowly fall into the camp of Hosokawa Manmoto. Although Hosokawa Manmoto's power was weak, and Tayama's power was even weaker, the two leaders joined forces and had a great impact on the authority of General Spo.

When He Tianyang stood on the top of Mount Fuji, he opened his arms to the target of the sunrise and howled excitedly: "I'm coming!" I see! I conquer! At that time, the political situation in Kyoto had changed dramatically, and the Hosokawa clan and the Yamada clan had joined forces.

Oda Town, Dansei-gun, Kenjin Shrine.

On April 29, the spring festival began, and the inside and outside of the Sword God Palace were crowded with people from all over the world who came to make pilgrimages and worship. Those who can enter the palace to worship are naturally the people with more respectable status, they are either big businessmen or clan tycoons, men, women, old people, children, all dressed in the most solemn crown clothes, to the main sacrifice, the gods who are sacrificed and the sword in the middle to pay the noblest courtesy.

Suddenly, a samurai suddenly got up, seemed to be in a hurry, and wanted to go out in a hurry, but because he stood up in a hurry, and the hall was full of kneeling people, in order to hide an old man in front of him, his body was wrong, it seemed that he was unstable on his feet, and he hit the incense case heavily, and the force was very great, and this time he knocked down the sword holder dedicated to the sword on the incense case.

"Bastard! Blasting him out! A priest caught up in annoyance.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

The samurai hurriedly apologized, hurriedly grabbed the sword from the incense case, and hurriedly climbed up to the confession, trying to put the sword back in the knife holder, but suddenly, he stopped, shook his arm, and screamed: "Fake! This Excalibur is a fake! ”

These words stunned all the worshippers in the hall, and they all looked up at him. He knelt on the incense table in a ridiculous posture, and pulled out the divine sword in his hand with a "swish", although few people had the opportunity to touch this divine sword, but the style of the divine sword was familiar to every believer, and the bright and dangling divine sword in his hand was no different from the well-known divine sword style.

The samurai stood up on the offering table, shouted angrily, and folded the sword in his hand heavily to his knees, and with a "bang", the sword was broken in half, and many wooden thorns appeared in the fracture, and he continued to shout as he brandished the sword: "Fake! The Excalibur of the Sword God Palace is a fake! Where did they hide the Excalibur and perfunctory us with a fake, what bastards! ”

"Fake! Excalibur is a fake! The exclamation quickly reached the ears of every pilgrim from the inside out.

When a priest hurried to the main hall dedicated to the gods, the two priests had been outflanked by the angry crowd, and they only had their two feet exposed, and the priests could only see the beating movements of the angry believers, but could not see the legs of the two priests moving, and couldn't help but exclaim, "What happened?" ”

The crowd spotted him, and immediately retreated like a tide, revealing two bloody corpses, and then the tide swooped down again, lunging at him, and roaring angrily: "Hand over the Excalibur!" Hand over Excalibur! Where did you hide the Excalibur? ”

The samurai who collided with the incense case and discovered the authenticity of the Excalibur was a retainer of the Ishibashi clan, the Ishibashi clan is a clan inherited from Echizen, and when the Hosokawa clan was guarded by Echizen, the Ishibashi clan was a member of the Hosokawa clan, so after Echizen became the land of the Spo clan, the Spo clan did not reuse the Ishibashi clan, but reused the Oda clan attached to him.

The Ishibashi clan received a letter from an unknown person informing them that the sword of the Sword Shrine had been stolen and that the priests of the Oda family were bluffing believers with fakes, which was a rare opportunity for the declining Ishibashi family, and they had to seize it. But they also couldn't believe that someone dared to offend the divine power and steal the divine sword, and the priest who stole the divine object not only did not apologize with death, but also dared to bluff people with fakes, so they were not afraid that the gods would condemn themselves and bring disaster to future generations?

So they first sent a samurai to verify the authenticity. When the sword turned out to be a fake, their pre-made placement began, the angry crowd was moved by the bats, the priests and priests were killed, and those who escaped escaped fled into the mountains and forests, and then several major local clans united the monks of various temples and the priests of various shrines, and marched towards Kyoto to complain to the shogunate.

At that time, the most serious offenses in Japan were offenses against temples and shrines, and the laws and regulations related to temples and shrines were the most important, not only from the public law of the imperial court, which listed this part of the law as the first and most important part, but also from the samurai law from the shogunate.

Just imagine that after Ashikaga Yoshimitsu became the de facto emperor of Japan, he also needed to become a monk in order to exercise control over the power of the temple, and you can know how powerful the power of the temple was at that time.

If the alliance of the Hosokawa clan and the Tayama clan only posed some threats to the dominance of the Spo Yoshisho's family, what happened in the Sword God Palace was a fatal blow to him, and His Excellency Ashikaga Yoshimitsu finally tore off the mask of hypocrisy and showed his fangs full of fangs!
