It's rare to see such a passionate show, and it is surprising to take the initiative to invite a fight.

I don't know, I think he has a deep grudge against Takeda Shingen.

And those who are familiar with it will only think that there must be some kind of conspiracy again. The more high-sounding and politically correct the banner is often played, the more intriguing its intentions are.

The general nodded slightly, his face amazed, and he looked deeply moved—perhaps it was the balance of the balance that had finally lost his balance after an extra weight at one end of the scale.

In short, Ashikaga Yoshiaki hesitated for a while, and then made a decision: "I already understand your opinions. Although both sides have their own positions and can make sense, the authority of the shogunate is unquestionable! Where is Daisuke the military department? ”

"My subordinates are here to listen to orders." Hosokawa Fujitaka stepped out and knelt on the ground solemnly.

"With you as the envoy, hold my imperial book, so that Takeda Dashan cannot go west again, and he needs to explain the past conflict!"

Ashikaga Yoshiaki did not launch a direct crusade, but turned a corner, leaving a few steps.

In this way, Mibuchi Fujiei, including the faction of Ise, Hosokawa, Akechi, and Kinoshita, can certainly show joy, but they will not get carried away. And Isshiki Fujinaga, Ueno Kiyonobu, Odate Haritada and others, although they have no face, there is always a little room to wind around, so as not to stay in the palace without face.

The tie was a little disappointed.

Originally, I was going to play a "lonely hero" who fought against the big demon king alone, but I didn't expect the general to be so "obedient", which is very different from what I imagined.

With the advantage of Ashikaga Yoshiaki's reputation, as long as he shouts a slogan and shows an attitude, he does not need to go into battle in person at all, and he can unceremoniously call himself the "general general" to absorb the fruits of victory.

It's a helpless thing.

Nobunaga of the day could not openly compete with it, let alone the rest.

The only consolation is that after today's plot spreads, there may be many people in the countryside far away from Kyoto who will feel that "the shogunate has its own words, and the princess was originally hesitant, but after listening to the words of the Tie Punishment Department, he immediately made a decision." ”

Then the ignorant masses who do not know the truth will greatly overestimate the influence of the Hitomi family in the center, which can play a key role in the actions of the four countries.

Compared with the people of Kinai, who are accustomed to seeing the changing banners of the kings at the head of the castle and can casually tell the black history of the Ashikaga family as a joke, the people in the poor countryside are generally simple-minded and tend to be conservative in their values, and their respect for traditional ceremonies will naturally be more sincere.

Probably distance produces beauty.

If you can find a way to get the title of "deacon" or "probing", the pacification of Shikoku and one island will definitely be just around the corner. Even a "judging" can be very helpful.

However, Ashikaga Yoshiaki can't be so generous, unless you are willing to stay in the Kyoto Imperial Palace like Oda Nobunaga and be controlled, of course, no matter what official position you are, you will not be stingy.

For an independent and powerful daimyo like Hite, the most that can be conferred on a seemingly noble but troublesome title such as "Kii Guardian".

Besides, now that even Kii has been pacified by more than half, it is estimated that Ashikaga Yoshiaki is already regretting it......

When he looked up and focused his attention on returning to reality, he suddenly found that the atmosphere at the scene was still very intense, and he did not calm down because of the decision made by the princess.

If you look closely, it turns out that Akechi Mitsuhide is doing things again......

“…… Now we have to face the reality that it is likely that we will be in a hostile position with the Takeda family in the near future. The day before yesterday, he and the warlock looked at the astrological signs, and the sign was that although the foreign enemy was menacing, it could not last long, and the real threat came from the side of the elbow and armpit. ”

Such a nonsensical statement, Wise Mitsuhide said it in a thoughtful manner.

Moreover, Mibuchi Fujiei also looked serious, pretending to frown and think deeply, and asked: "Does this mean that there are traitors near Kyoto?" It's horrible! It seems that if you want to conquer the enemy, you must first settle the inside......"

"That's right!" Kinoshita Hideyoshi jumped up again with excitement, "Hurry up and eradicate those shoguns who have been bought by money, eat inside and outside, and have access to Takeda in one fell swoop!" ”

While shouting at him, he stared at a few people unabashedly, and the target was very obvious.

Seeing this, Ichishi Fuji Chang was about to sneer at each other, but he saw Mibuchi Fujiei get up and stop: "Kinoshita Palace, stay!" The retainers here are all tested for a long time, and even if they occasionally make some mistakes, they are still confused, and they are by no means evil by nature. ”

Such a double reed that sings and harmonizes is performed very devotedly, one with a red face and one with a white face, as if he wants to throw the pot of "being confused for a while and occasionally making mistakes" on the back of his political enemies.

"In the astrological horoscope, who is the 'threat from the side of the elbow, armpit, abdomen, and heart'?" Ise Sadako followed up and asked.

"Well...... Allow me to elaborate. Mibuchi Fujiei breathed a sigh of relief and said slowly: "Actually, I have also noticed some clues of the activities of the Takeda family ninjas in recent days. There may also be people among the shoguns who have been co-opted. But I believe that my colleagues will at most help each other with some small things, and will never be in the middle of the battle. However, there are many forces around Kyoto, but they don't dare to believe it all......"

Hearing this, he reacted to the so-called "peace between the outside and the inside", which means that in the name of dealing with foreign enemies, the surrounding small forces will be annexed.

Although Hosokawa Fujitaka was sent as an envoy to Kai's Hesitant Ambiguity Pavilion, everyone knew in their hearts that it was impossible to persuade the other party to withdraw from the army with just words, and Takeda must have a war with Tokugawa and Oda.

According to the conventional way of thinking, Takeda Shingen is a person who is good at adjusting and buying, and there will definitely be many forces in Kinai who have received his letters and gold, and take this opportunity to launch a purge.

It just so happened that Asai Nagamasa was spent in the western country again......

As long as you convince the people here, there is a lot to be done near Kyoto!

Maybe add to the recent rise of Takenaka Shigeji, but that's second-class after all.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki raised his eyebrows, as if he was a little moved by words.

His brother's high-profile was different, Yoshiaki was a pragmatic shogun who understood that power depended on land and soldiers, but he had never been able to get the right opportunity. Even a few times I thought it was an opportunity, but it was a trap.

So far, the shogunate still has only about 100,000 stones, and there are only six or seven thousand troops to support the death. Ashikaga Yoshiaki continued to work hard in Hanoi, Omi, Tamba and other places to recruit some wealthy families, but it is difficult to say whether it is reliable or not.

Of course, on the other hand, if someone really responds to Takeda in the center, it will be very worrying, and it is indeed necessary to put an end to the trouble.

"This matter does need attention." Ashikaga Yoshiaki thought for a moment and then made a concurring judgment, "If there are any samurai in Kinai who contact the Takeda family privately, you must check it out." Of course, it is necessary to avoid creating unjust cases. ”

The general's words roughly mean, "You can do it, but you can't use too much force." ”

At this time, the Ichishiki Fujinaga who "drove Takeda to attack the Oda faction" was low for a long time, and suddenly remembered something again, and took the initiative to speak: "Lord Gongfang! Since you want to contain Kai's Takeda Daizen, it is better to ask Echigo Uesugi to come forward, and you will be able to get twice the result with half the effort. ”

Ise Sadako of the opposite camp sneered lightly and retorted disdainfully: "As everyone knows, Echigo Uesugi is now facing off against Hokuriku Ichijomune in Echichu, Kaga, and has no time to care about the affairs of the south. Otherwise, how could others not think of it? ”

"It turns out that I was in this trouble...... Ichishiki Fujinaga pretended to be enlightened, and then as if he had an idea, he looked sideways at the other person: "I heard that the Heite Punishment Department and the Venerable Master of Ishiyama Honganji Temple are about to become in-laws, can you make peace in the middle, so that the Hokuriku Ichishozong and the Uesugi family will turn their rivalry into jade silk, so that Kai's Takeda Daizen will not be checked and balanced and go astray?" ”

The direction of the attack suddenly turned and caught people off guard.

Hirate Honhide was suddenly a little annoyed - how did the power struggle within your shogunate involve me, a person who has a hard time coming to Kyoto?

Could it be that Isshiki Fujinaga also thinks that I said that I moved Ashikaga Yoshiaki, so I hold a grudge?

Or is it regarded as a comrade of Mibuchi Fujiei?

That Hokuriku has always followed the Uesugi family, but it is not for the sake of grievances, hatred, and hatred, but for the two territories of Echichu and Kaga!

The combined real estate of these two countries is more than 600,000 stones, and it is a conflict of interests related to the root of life, how can it be possible to make peace through diplomatic means?

Don't say it's an outsider...... Even if Honganji Xianru personally mediates, the vested interests of the Hokuriku Ichikozong may not give face.

In response to this obviously unkind proposal, Tieshou immediately made an unceremonious counterattack.

He did not respond to Isshiki Fujinagu's words, but solemnly saluted Ashikaga Yoshiaki, and said with sincerity in his eyes: "Lord Gongfang! As the Sanyuan Hall and the Wisdom Hall said, the outside must first be inside, which is a wise saying. Exactly who is in cahoots with Takeda really needs to be strictly investigated. For the sake of justice, please start with my tidal house! Before the investigation is completed, the retainers will be on standby in Izumi, and the soldiers will not be allowed to set foot in Kyoto for half a step! As for the fact that someone asked me to send an envoy to Hokuriku...... In order to avoid suspicion, it had to be refused. ”

"This ......" Ichiki Vine Chang was speechless, and his face was like black charcoal.

The first to jump out and perform, saying that you were going to fight Takeda, was your tie; If you are a little troubled, you will immediately pick your son and leave, or you will tie the show!

What was the place when the shogunate? Because we really can't cure you?

Obviously, he could only think about it, and he would never dare to say it.

In fact, the shogunate may not be able to cure the Hite...... Especially now when there is no consensus among the internal parties.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki was first taken aback when he saw this, then smiled and said, "There is no need to question the loyalty of the Hirate family!" There is no need to do any extra research. Although Sanyuan and Wise said that 'if you go outside, you must first settle inside', the premise is to distinguish between friend and foe. Which is a friend and who is an enemy must be clarified first. ”

"Thank you for your trust!" Tie Sho Fan Xiu bowed with a firm gaze. At this time, there is no need to perform any drama of gratitude and gratitude for the kindness of the encounter, which is to add to the snake.

As for what Isshiki Fujinaga said, let Heite Honhide talk about the matter with the Hokuriku Ichikozong and the Uesugi family...... Apparently no one will mention it again.
