If the lord in front of him was a person like Oda Nobunaga and Miyoshi Nagakei, who had brilliant and feared achievements, Ise Sadako would of course only dare to admit his mistakes and never have the courage to play this kind of trick similar to "raising his own self-respect".

However, today's public lords still lack personal prestige. In contrast, although his old brother who died tragically did not achieve anything, he had a reputation for martial courage and courage, and the words and deeds of Ashikaga Yoshiaki made it difficult for the samurai of various countries to feel admiration.

On the other hand, the princess only felt that his subordinates were alarmist.

At first, he was estranged, but he was just using the imperial mind technique of suppressing first and then promoting, but now he is really angry.

Although talent is rare, it is not difficult to get the point where it is worth sacrificing the majesty of the shogunate to appease. This kind of behavior that is indignant at the slightest grievance must be severely punished.

In particular, this kind of behavior of exaggerating foreign enemies and exaggerating crises seems to have the suspicion of "raising self-respect".

Isn't it that Izumi's temple shrine found a heterogeneous group to serve as reinforcements against the shogunate officials? Could it really be a catastrophe?

In the final analysis, whether it is the strength of the temple or the people of the country, after all, it is just a force that does not enter the stream, they have no problem dominating the countryside, but do they really dare to attack a large fortress? Dare to kill the shogunate-appointed dai? Is that audacious?

Even the lawless Sect, after so many years, has only overthrown one or two guards, and that was a few decades ago. Didn't the Miyoshi traitor who dared to kill the general a few years ago quickly learn a lesson? Everyone else should look at it and no longer dare to echo it!

Until the exact news was delivered to him, Ashikaga Yoshiaki was still dumbfounded, and he was unwilling to give up his illusions and accept the facts.

And Ise Sadako - although he tried his best to endure it, he couldn't hide a little happiness in his eyebrows. He immediately said the solution that he had already thought of and was beneficial to him, without hesitation at all: "Lord Gongfang! This matter is already difficult to deal with, and if it drags on, I am afraid that the prestige of the shogunate will be damaged, so please send me as an envoy to quell the turmoil with two ways of suppression! ”

Ashikaga Yoshiaki is feeling weak in his heart, not knowing what to do, just hoping that someone will come out to solve the problem. was taken aback by Ise Sadako's voice, and he was a little dazed at the moment, and almost agreed. When the words came to his lips, he finally realized that this weak and incompetent posture affected his image very much, so he stopped.

His own mind was already in turmoil, and looking at the seemingly sincere and kind but aggressive posture of Ise Sadahei beside him, he no longer had the confidence to suppress it. After thinking about it, the reputation of the Ashikaga family has been damaged, and it is no longer possible to suppress people with power in a short period of time, so they can only use the old method of pulling one faction to fight another, and let those "hawkish" retainers be cannon fodder.

So Ashikaga Yoshiaki quietly adjusted his breathing, reluctantly calmed down, and briefly replied to Ise Sadako, "This matter needs to be discussed in the long run", and immediately shouted out:

"Where are Matsumaru and Kurokimaru? Call all the people in the guest room, there is an urgent matter! ”

……

"The temple and shrine have 1,500 troops, and the evil party of Kii is innumerable, and the total number of enemies is more than 4,000...... We fought with all our might, and although we won a slight victory, killing hundreds of enemies, we finally suffered a great defeat, broke thousands of soldiers, and escaped countless ...... There are many thieves who are attached to them, and all the fields are enemies, and they are not allowed to return to the shore and Tian City...... There are still 600 remnants of soldiers, and the cage city shell mound, and the remaining grain is 170 stones, which is only for 50 days......"

Stripping away the superfluous rhetoric of loyalty and bitterness, Ashikaga Yoshiaki personally read the key points of the letter asking for help, and his face became a little gloomy.

Mibuchi Fujiei, Isshiki Fujinaga, Makijima Akimitsu and others looked at each other and didn't say a word.

Seeing this, Ise Zhenxing sighed like a "local chicken tile dog" in his heart, stood up angrily, and repeated what Fang Cai said in private:

"Lord Gongfang! This matter is already difficult to deal with, and if it drags on, I am afraid that the prestige of the shogunate will be damaged, so please send me as an envoy to quell the turmoil with two ways of suppression! ”

He deliberately, not even a word was replaced.

Mibuchi, Isshiki and others suddenly realized that if Ashikaga Yoshiaki agreed with Ise Sadako's proposal, then there was no need to hold this meeting. The purpose of deliberately pulling people with dissident views over is to take advantage of the situation to suppress them.

But......

Everyone is a master of retreat, and now that the real enemy has appeared, it's a bit out of line!

After a moment of silence, the oldest Mibuchi Fujiei finally couldn't sit down anymore in order to maintain his status and face, so he came out and asked: "Ise-sama's self-recommended posture is really touching. It's just that...... Have you figured out the cause and effect of the incident? The people of Kii have always been self-preservation, so why did they suddenly support the rebellion of the Izumi Temple? You can't be too eager to act until you figure this out! ”

This is really to the point. At present, the shogunate that has just "revived" has no intelligence agency at all, and it knows nothing about the details of Izumi's "chaos", and can only learn about it through letters.

Even if Ise Sadako is more familiar with practice, at this time he can only guess, and it is absolutely impossible to know the whole picture. But he was quick in thinking, and suddenly found a way to refute it, and replied, "What Mibuchi-sama said is very true. However, the shogunate's army was under siege, so how could there be any leisure? The contemptible people are preparing to go to Izumi Province immediately and personally investigate the matter. ”

His accent is on the word "personally".

As soon as these words came out, Mibuchi Fujiying's face turned red, and he lost his voice dumbly, as if his throat was blocked, and he stopped talking.

As we all know, the descendant of this famous Sanyuan family has always regarded himself as a nobleman, and he is extremely high, if he wants to run to the battlefield covered with mud and gunpowder smoke to do tasks, he will never be willing to do it.

But now the shogunate lacks bureaucrats and generals who do practical things, and there is no shortage of high-minded talkers, and Ise Sadako, the "personal", seems extremely ironic.

The Ichiseki vine chief on the side frowned, and couldn't help but have the trouble of "rotten wood can't be carved". His determination and intelligence are much stronger than Sanyuan's, but his qualifications and relationships are inferior, and he is gradually not satisfied with being a junior brother.

Seeing that the matter was urgent, Ichishiki Fujinaga couldn't care less about humility, so he raised his head and asked, "I know the loyalty and courage of Ise-sama. Although the cause and effect of this incident are still unknown, it is generally nothing more than a rebellion, and I wonder what you think should be done with it, Ise-sama. ”

This question immediately attracted the attention of everyone, including Ashikaga Yoshiaki.

His words are obviously much higher than Sanyuan's, the matter has already happened, and it is not urgent to investigate the reason, and it is the most important thing to come up with a solution.

Ise Sadako was also a little more serious, and after a moment of deliberation, he replied, "In my opinion, the same Izumi country, which was ruled by the Daisa Heisho, was a place of peace and joy. And the change of Ineo and Miki caused the people to complain, and even caused chaos...... Therefore, the contemptible people think that they should still ask the master of the peace to coordinate and pacify, and only punish the evil of the rebel army, without asking about coercion, but some evil officials who oppress the people need to be punished...... As for the suppression of the turmoil, it is also necessary to ask the peacekeepers to pass on some experience and send people to assist in the management to prevent the recurrence of the mistakes of the past. ”

His words were objective and fair at first, but then they were jaw-dropping. Looking at the meaning of Ise Sadako, in order to defeat political enemies and take power alone, is it to return the Izumi Ichikuni, which the shogunate had so hard to get, to Hirate Honhide?

Ashikaga Yoshiaki was clearly unlikely to accept this suggestion. However, he could not come up with any other solution, so he did not say anything, pretending to be profound, and motioned for the others to continue speaking.

Isshiki Fujicho looked around and there was no one who could help, so he had to continue on his own: "The shogunate is merciful, and I can't bear to see too many killings, and my subordinates have always been appeased. But this kind of benevolence is seen as weakness by some young people...... According to what you can see, you occasionally need to kill chickens and monkeys to deter those who are not subservient. ”

He said this well, and everyone had to cater to it on the surface, but in their hearts they didn't think so.

The shogunate's direct territory, only a little income, a total of a little soldiers, mediocre combat power and a lack of generals, more than 10,000 coalition troops attacked the city of Wuji Nu 800 enemy troops almost caused a laughing stock fiasco. Now in the face of the infamous Kii people, who dares to lead the troops?

Ashikaga Yoshiaki doesn't know martial arts, can't command, and is timid and afraid of death, he definitely doesn't want to go to the army himself.

Oh, Akechi Mitsuhide and Hosokawa Fujitaka may have the guts, but they're moles! Internal traitors are more hateful than external enemies, and it is better to let these two people take the opportunity to grasp the real power of the shogunate, and it is better to simply let the flat hand Tsunohide take back Izumi.

The Iio and Miki sent to Izumi were among the few talented people in the new generation of the shogunate, otherwise they would not have been entrusted with important tasks. But it is clear that the talents can't fight the beasts outside.

Ise Sadako was almost the last person who could do something practical, and no matter how ridiculous his proposal was, at least he could carry it out himself.

Or do you want to find other friendly forces to help send troops?

But if you don't have any soldiers at all, no matter who you find, it is difficult to avoid the risk of being occupied by doves. After Oda conquered Kyoto, he honestly returned it to Ashikaga because Kyoto was so politically significant that even Nobunaga did not dare to occupy it rashly. But it's not the same as Izumi......

It was precisely because he saw through the weak nature of the shogunate that Ise Sadako became a staunch "dove". In his opinion, the reason why the shogunate was still able to survive was because of the fact that others gave face. Just holding on to it is the best choice at the moment. If you make a big fuss and others want to destroy you regardless of face, it will be irreparable.

The situation is really bad.

Because the shogunate was weakened and could not let its retainers show their ambitions, talented people refused to come or leave, and on the other hand, it was impossible for the shogunate to recover its strength due to the lack of talent. A cycle of despair.

After a long time, I knew that Ise Sadako's plan was to "sell the country for glory", but no one came up with a better way.

Until the last color Fuji Naga gritted his teeth and made up his mind, he said, "Since Ise-sama wants to take the lead, he is not willing to be left behind!" I would like to ask Gongkata to send me and Ise-sama to investigate and resolve the incident. At that time, if you want to suppress, you will be a pioneer in the next wish. If you want to caress it, you will be a lobbyist. ”

It was very common in the Oda family to take the initiative to ask for help, but it was really rare in the shogunate. Everyone present couldn't help but be taken aback, including Ashikaga Yoshiaki on the stage. Everyone couldn't tell whether Isshiki Fujicho really had such a loyal and brave heart, or whether he wanted to take the opportunity to establish his own small force.

The only thing that is certain is that if he comes forward together, a check and balance can be formed, and even if Ise Sadako wants to "sell for glory", he will sell the disadvantage.

So Ashikaga Yoshiaki couldn't find any reason to disagree.
