In the 16th century, the fraud was untechnical and torture was used to extract confessions at will, and it was easy to find out and find out several corrupt elements suspected of illegal acts, including the uncle of Kawada Nagakin, the brother of Honda Masanobu, and the same disciple of Toraya Soi.

In the midst of the panic of the people, they either colluded with each other or made their own decisions, and joined forces with the people, temples, and merchants around Kyoto, and acted arrogantly in the name of the Hirate family.

It is difficult to say whether Kawada Nagakin, Honda Masanobu, Toraya Soi and others knew the inside story, or even whether they were involved in illegal acts.

In short, when Yoshimitsu Hirate received the report from President Konishi, he first expressed his embarrassment, but it didn't take long for him to decisively decide: "Your Excellency must have been deceived, otherwise it is impossible to condone your relatives to do wrong." ”

Governor Konishi didn't know how to feel when he heard this, but he was probably a little disappointed and a little relieved.

Then, according to the usual practice, Kawada and Honda had to repeatedly apply for suspension and reflection in order to avoid secrecy, which was strongly reprimanded by Hirate Honohide, and Herate Yoshimitsu tried his best to comfort him.

The difference between the attitudes of the first and second generations is intriguing.

In the end, the relatives and friends of the important ministers were dismissed, fined, and observed the after-effects, and did not make a big move. Among them, Kawada's uncle, who is a complete broker of the tiger skin, did not receive a fortune at the flat house at all, and only warned and threatened, and ordered someone to monitor the matter.

As for the other pawns involved, such as the Nishioka region's national gods and feet, the Nakhokuko town merchant Saijo clan, and the monks of Myoshinji Moriryuin Temple, etc., those who directly took action and aroused public anger were severely punished, beheaded, removed, confiscated family property, and compensated the victims, all in one go.

Then Heite Yoshimitsu took the opportunity to make an instruction to "return things to their original owners", and found information from a large basket of old papers from nowhere, proving that many of the real estate in Yamashiro originally belonged to the Fujiwara family's ministers and officials, and were later usurped and divided by various powerful people in troubled times, and now it is time to restore the old order.

Obviously, those ministers who claim to be "unable to personally supervise the estate, entrust the Heite clan to manage it, and only wish to receive rice every year", their estates will be given priority to be "returned".

Compared with the traditional "benevolent government", the treatment of the snakes in Kyoto seems to be harsh. However, due to the fact that he photographed the sycophants of the imperial court, it made Hirate Yoshimitsu famous.

As an important minister, President Konishi presided over a series of complex affairs, and carried out the will of the second generation to devote himself to the reconstruction of Yamashiro and one country.

He became a close confidant of the young master.

The nephew of the side room of the adult of the criminal department.,Regarded as a half-son.,Recognized relationship of the household's Ii Toramatsu,And Owari boy Kato Toranosuke who appeared out of nowhere.,Two and a half sons are responsible for the arrest.。

The Chinese, businessmen, and monks involved in the case are not good, and many of them are strong and powerful with hundreds of people. But these two people are menacing and murderous, with only a piece of paper, with two or three followers, they dare to come to the door to arrest people, and they don't eat soft and hard along the way, and no one can stop them. There was once a disobedient person who bribed seven dead soldiers and committed murder in the street, but these two young samurai were killed on the spot.

The good deeds are called "a pair of milk tigers".

It seems that they will also form a rare fate with the prince.

At the same time, Yoshimitsu Hirate was an old companion, and Kojiro Iwanari, Sunroku Kato, Gonhei Hirano, Sontaro Toda and others were ordered to come to Kyoto to serve the government, and it seems that they acquiesced to his permission to set up his own door.

The new shogunate, Toshitaka Hosokawa, vaguely expressed his desire for his son to join the train, but received no response. This may be because the tie feels that it is too ostentatious.

Therefore, Hosokawa Fujitaka felt quite depressed. He was very excited when he was put in power in the shogunate, but later he gradually realized that the embarrassment of this sensitive identity was far less than that of the previous position as a leader in the literary world, and he could move between selling and selling fame, and act at the right time. To sit back and watch the shogunate's authority continue to decline now is tantamount to slapping yourself in the face, but it is simply self-defeating to show any intention to revive the shogunate.

Yoshimitsu Hirate was extremely cautious about forming his own team, only letting Iwanari Kojiro, the son of Iwanari Tomotsu, and Kato Sunroku, the son of Kato Kyoaki, be the attendants who delivered the news, while Gonhei Hirano and Sontaro Toda were only appointed as the leaders of the guards.

If there are any problems, I still send people to ask for the opinions of Kawada Nagajin and Honda Masanobu. And put forward the requirements of "dealing with seniors who regard them as teachers and not as colleagues".

The two excused themselves by saying that "it is inconvenient for them to come forward to serve at this time", but Yoshimitsu Hirate said that "even if it is inconvenient to take up the post, he is still blameless as an adviser" and insisted on respecting the views of the old minister.

After pushing back and forth three or five times, Kawada Chang couldn't save face, and after three days of hasty reflection in the temple, he made a low-key comeback and continued to take over the work of diplomatic etiquette. But Honda Masanobu seems to be true

With such mutual courtesy and courtesy, the scene of the high wind and bright festival, I wonder if the tie honshu in Wada Castle on the shore of Izumi Province can be seen?

Everyone believes that our master of the Criminal Department is clever, and he can still predict the world's major events before he leaves the pavilion, as long as he wants to see it, he will definitely be able to see it.

……

During this period of time, Ashikaga Yoshiaki, who lived in the imperial palace, became more and more depressed day after day, delirious, and had no other thoughts than to take "miracle medicine" from morning to night, so that he gradually could not take care of himself when dressing and eating, and often had to splash soup on his chest, wear his robe from side to side, and other behaviors that made people cry and laugh, not to mention handling official business and signing documents.

But he is still alive and well after all, and that is enough. Throughout the Muromachi period, it was not uncommon for shoguns to be excluded from the center of power.

Under Hosokawa Fujitaka, the representative of the ruling power, and, more importantly, with the "assistance" of Yoshimitsu Hete, the five senior Nakabu Daishimitsu, who was loyal and wise, succeeded in dealing with the malpractices that caused discontent among the people, and then concentrated its efforts on preparing to conquer the rebellious Kitabatake family of Ise Province.

Speaking of this Kitabatake family is really hateful, obviously by the chaos of the party Oda continued persecution, but did not dare to resist openly, blindly humiliated and sued for peace, that's it, and later thanks to the Heite clan on the day, down to the people's heart, to ask the thief to settle the people, defeat Oda, this Kitabatake Gujiao relied on himself to be a high-ranking official in the three halls, shamelessly grabbed the fruits of victory, and even contradicted the real hard-working Konishi Yuki, and then dared to beat each other, and afterwards refused to admit his mistake and apologize, which can be described as lawlessness and wantonness.

At that time, Heide Honhide obtained the consent of the imperial court and the shogunate, and made a decision to "crusade against him after the year".

For several months, Kitabatake Gukyo has been trying to get away with a thief, saying sophistries such as "drunk gaffes, not malicious". But once he was asked to come to Kyoto to apologize in person, he resolutely refused. It is obvious that they did not recognize their serious mistakes.

Then only the sword and the pain can make him reflect, so this battle is imperative.

Hirate Honhide will bring his own army of banners, as well as conscripts from Kii, Yamato, and Hanoi.

Yoshimitsu Hirate, who was in Kyoto and "assisted" the shogunate, sent a request to send troops to Settsu Araki Murashige, Omi Kyogoku Takayoshi, Wakasa Takeda Motoaki, Tokai Tokugawa Ieyasu, and, most importantly, Mino Oda Nobutada.

Of course, he also had a direct subordinate in Kyoto.

With Ii Toramatsu and Kato Toranosuke as the right and left hands, Iwanari Kojiro and Kato Sunroku as the generals, Hirano Gonhei and Toda Sontaro as the personal guards, and Owari Hara, the sons of the retainers, and the children of the retainers as the soldiers, an army of 1,000 people was established.

This will be the first battle in the true sense of the word.
