When news reached the front line of the Kyoto incident, a tentative agreement was reached with the Takeda family to allow Takasaka Masanobu and others to withdraw from Sunpu Castle in order to trade the lives of the defenders. However, there was no further consensus between the two sides.

After receiving the news, Hirate Honshu was not surprised, and he had no intention of hiding it at all, so he naturally announced it, ignoring everyone's reactions, and calmly announced that he would return to Kyoto to deal with the matter.

On that day, I don't know how many people couldn't sleep or eat, and they wandered around the big tent in the camp in fear and trembling, and they were forcibly driven out of the door.

Araki Murashige, Mikumo Narichi, Tokawa Depository, Tsutsui Shunkei and others who served in the army all expressed their loyalty at the first time, for fear of being suspected. The tie is full of laughter, lifting weights like light, and calming the emotions one by one.

However, when he woke up the next day, he found that there was no imaginary commotion in the army.

Moreover, Tokugawa Ieyasu and Oda Nobutada immediately sent people to greet them, saying that no matter what happened, they would still trust and support "Lieutenant General Nakayama", and claimed that they would come to Kyoto to personally show their position after handling internal affairs.

Immediately afterwards, he returned to the west and went to the vicinity of Nagashima, where he saw the retainers sent by the head of the Changzong department, Kyogoku Takayoshi, and Takeda Motoaki, and they were all respectful and honest, admitting their innocence and saying that they were innocent.

Kawada Naga also wrote a joint letter with Honda Tadakatsu and Shima Kiyoko, saying that Hokuriku was in good shape, and that even if the Uesugi army came to attack, there would be no major problems.

When I went to Minami-Omi again, the envoys of the imperial court came, the monks of the Kyoto sect came, the tea people, the representatives of the merchant houses, the merchants of Kaimachi, the Ishiyama Ichijo sect, the Koyayama Nerai Temple, and the Kumano Sanzan...... They all emphasized, "I hope that the Lord will maintain the peace of the world."

All in all, the situation is good, not a small good, but a big good.

The retainers were gearing up for a long time, and suddenly found that there seemed to be no impact on the departure of a prince?

Everything in is still under control, and there is not a single one who dares to take the opportunity to make trouble!

What's going on?

To say that "all parties are convinced by our equals, are in awe, and dare not disobey", this must be nonsense, and even you can't deceive yourself.

The leaders and generals discussed the results of the discussion in private, and felt that it must be because there was no leader, so the opposition forces hid their tails for the time being, pretending to be submissive, and if the time was not right, they would still jump out one by one.

Just like when Miyoshi Changqing just died, in theory, Miyoshi Yoshitsugu still stood firm for a while with the assistance and support of his retainers. It wasn't until the killing of Ashikaga Yoshiteru caused "public outrage" that he broke out in turmoil later, and the Shikoku faction, the three-person faction and the Matsunaga faction quarreled endlessly, and the vitality was exhausted in the internal strife, and it was finally wiped out by Oda Nobunaga.

It's probably a similar situation now, so we find out the unstable factors in advance and eliminate them - many retainers think so, but they don't dare to speak directly in front of the lord, so they can only ask Honda Masanobu and Maeda Gen to use these close and you to explore the clichés.

But what kind of essence are Honda and Maeda? Without getting a specific order, how can half a word be revealed?

After all, everyone is still in a very confused state.

Obviously, he was ready to fight to the death, and he was going to fight a potential enemy, but as a result, no half bird flew out to challenge, and his heart was really empty and uncomfortable.

When he arrived in Kyoto, Suzuki Hidemoto wept and knelt down to greet him, telling him his remorse, but Hirata listened calmly to the whole process, smiled and said, "You did a good job", and didn't continue to care.

At this time, I got the news that the three relatively strong forces of Akai, Hatano, and Naito of Tanba Province may have seen the continuous expansion of the Heite family, resulting in feelings such as the death of rabbits and the death of foxes and sadness, and in order to maintain the independent status of the Emperor of the Soil, they gathered at Yagi Castle to express their loyalty to Ashikaga Yoshiaki, and sent a letter to the daimyo of the countries in the name of the shogunate to seek an alliance.

Of course, it can't be said to be a trivial matter, but ......

Is this the weight of a dignified general running away?

Uesugi, Takeda, and Otomo are already in a state of hostility with the Hirate family, and Mori, Ukita, and Asai can't be said to be close friends, so even if you say that these daimyo form a huge siege network, it doesn't seem to have changed much compared to now.

Moreover, the various forces have complex historical entanglements, how can it be so easy to cooperate?

Katsuyori Takeda tried to mediate between Uesugi and Hojo, but nothing came of it for a year.

In the short term, even if you have Ashikaga Yoshiaki's name in hand, I am afraid that the appeal will be limited, and you may not be able to get any enthusiastic response.

From being too cautious to being too optimistic, it may have taken only half a month for the retainers to complete the psychological transformation.

It turned out that after losing the card of the Great General of Seiyi, no one in dared to resist us, and the daimyo around us did not actively move King Qin at all.

Although I don't understand the specific why, in short, it's right!

Under such a premise, on April 14, Hirate Tsunohide finally led tens of thousands of troops to return to Kyoto as the fourth rank, Quan Zhong Nayan, and Lieutenant General Left Guard.

The imperial court, religion, merchants, and other forces have long been anxious.

In front, an envoy was sent to inquire, but he never received a definite answer.

Today, I can speak in person: "Gondai Nayan (Ashikaga Yoshiaki) went west, the Ashikaga clan left Beijing, the shogunate was empty, and the official ceremony was empty again, so what can I do?" ”

That's what the vast majority of people think.

In front of dignitaries from all sides, Hirata Hoshu finally didn't shirk anymore, and openly said his true thoughts in a rhetorical tone: "May I ask everyone, what is the Ashikaga clan?" What is the shogunate? What is a public ceremony? ”

Everyone was stunned and at a loss, inexplicable.

There was a little silence, but no one answered.

After a while, Hisho Hishu explained a little more specifically: "Lord Quanda Nayan, is he waiting for the Ashikaga clan alone?" Is the Ashikaga family equivalent to the shogunate? The Muromachi shogunate, is it a public ceremony? ”

Speaking of which, some clever people gradually understood.

But it was precisely because I understood that I didn't dare to answer.

Then there was another silence.

Hirata didn't intend to hear the answer, and after waiting for a while, he replied: "First, the power of Nayan alone is not equal to the Ashikaga clan. Although I don't know why his old man insisted on going west, there is still an heir in Luo. Second, the Ashikaga clan was not equal to the shogunate. Since ancient times, he served as the general of the expedition, first the Genji lineage, and then the Fujiwara clan and the imperial family, passed to Ashikaga, but one hundred and fifty years, if there are no three management and four positions, the public, and the loyal assistance of the royal companions, how can only one family and one surname level the world? Third, the shogunate was not the same as a public ceremony. It was the imperial court, the royal family, the ministers, the officials, the virtuous monks, and the virtuous people who gave their trust that made the shogunate perform the official rites on behalf of the heavens. ”

This is a sensational statement, but when you think about it, it seems to make sense.

In particular, the third point points out that the shogunate is "sharing the world" with many forces in Kyoto, which makes everyone's ears really more comfortable!

Think about Ashikaga Yoshiaki's bastard thing, it is obvious that it is with the support of Oda and Hirate that he has maintained his status in Kyoto. As a result, as soon as they gained a firm foothold, they immediately began to mess around, making something "centralized and unified", and suddenly brought the atmosphere into chaos.

Where is the level of Nayan so well understood?

Everyone present couldn't help but smile in agreement.

Then, in front of the "big shots", Pingshou Fanxiu put forward three suggestions and asked the court to "refer to them".

First, Ashikaga Yoshiaki's previous treatment of Yamashiro Province needed to be denied, and the territories of the princes and temples should be returned, rather than remaining under the control of the shogunate.

Second, although Ashikaga Yoshiaki "insisted on going west", he was not easily deprived of his official position of "three powers", so it would be very embarrassing. It would be reasonable if there were other people who could be the leaders of the samurai and get an official position equal to or even surpassed.

Third, the change from "Yongroku" to "Motogui" was fully promoted by Ashikaga Yoshiaki, and now that he has given up Kyoto and run away, can he consider changing the yuan next time? ntent
