"The Oda army still has 27,000 elite soldiers, and it is in the eastern suburbs of Kyoto. Now Oda Danmasa can't be a director, and he is contemptible for the formation. Before I set out for Nijo Castle, I had already ordered that if the negotiations did not go well, Lord Takigawa Ichiyoshi would lead the whole army into Kyoto two days later to protect the shogunate, so as to unite Oda and order all the forces in Kinai to fight a decisive battle against the rebels such as Asakura, Miyoshi, and Uesugi. This is the way to survive to the death. ”

Hite's deep and clear voice echoed repeatedly in the evaluation of the Imperial Palace.

These few words seem to linger in the air for three days.

The general on the throne, as well as his close retainers, were all stunned and dumbfounded.

What "enter Kyoto and protect the shogunate", what "the last resort to survive to the death", to put it bluntly, is not it a blatant threat?

A mere retainer of a famous name in the countryside dared to run into the palace and make such a rude act to the princess just because he was just a mixed official rank from the fifth rank, which was simply bold!

If I hadn't been able to beat you, I would have done it a long time ago!

It's really a bad etiquette, a moral decay, the world is declining, and people's hearts are not ancient.

The most infuriating thing is ...... This arrogant threat sounds like that.

Now Nobunaga himself is seriously injured and difficult to treat, and the whereabouts of many family elders are unknown, but there are still a large number of loyal troops, as well as the two bigwigs of Hirate and Takigawa, although they may not be able to withstand the pressure of the anti-Oda encirclement network, but it is more than enough to pull Ashikaga Yoshiaki to accompany the funeral in advance.

The famous general Takigawa Kazuyi attacked with 27,000 men, can the shogunate's weak force stop it? can only be bullied like a delicate girl facing a seven-foot man.

You may not even have time to run - even if you are given time to start first, how can a delicate girl's feet match that of a seven-foot man?

In addition, Ashikaga Yoshiaki was also reluctant to run away, and ran to the Asakura family, and the situation was not necessarily better than now.

As soon as Miyoshi Chokei died, the heir was too young to convince the public, and Miyoshi Nagayoshi, who was an auxiliary minister, saw that he could not continue to suppress and empty the shogunate, so he simply killed Ashikaga Yoshiteru.

Don't forget the past, the teacher of the future!

Mibuchi Fujiying, who had the most short temper, was already angry and wanted to split, and finally couldn't help but jump up, stand up, and scold at the flat hand with a face: "You shameless man! Dare to openly ...... above the Imperial Palace"

But halfway through the scolding, the voice stopped abruptly.

It's just that the fierce light on the face of the flat hand flashed, and he glanced coldly at the person who spoke rashly - it was not intended to be scary, but all the disguises were removed, and the diplomatic mode was transformed into the combat mode.

A look, but it made Mibuchi Fujiying feel the chill of being stared at by a goshawk on his neck and being entangled in his waist by a poisonous snake.

He stopped, neither daring to step forward nor to insult any more.

In an instant, Mibuchi Fujiei subconsciously looked around, trying to find help.

But his colleagues don't seem to be much bold. Most of them have already covered their faces, silently like a cicada.

After a while, only one of the Ichishiki vines stood up abruptly, pointed at the flat and shouted: "Although Owari Takeshi is brave and good at fighting, I will never sit idly by, I think the master of the Taisho, you should be cautious in your words and deeds, don't continue to say such things!" ”

Mibuchi nodded to him gratefully.

Compared with the other ministers, the words of Isshiki Fuji Chang were a bit tough.

However, seeing that he gritted his teeth, his face was pale, and he was clenching a folding fan with both hands, and his appearance was undoubtedly revealed.

In this regard, the tie is naturally a see-through and a clear view. laughed disdainfully twice, too lazy to talk nonsense with the minions, still looked up at Ashikaga Yoshiaki on the throne, and bowed slightly: "What the contemptible people said is true or false, you can naturally tell the difference." That's it...... Don't be unpredictable. ”

The courtiers were completely ignored.

Including Mibuchi Fujiei and Isshiki Fujinaga who jumped out just now.

But instead of being outraged by being slighted, the two men breathed a sigh of relief.

The bastard thing of Tie Fan Xiu is really unusual......

This is not an "aura" or "spiritual pressure", it is purely frightened by past deeds!

The people of the shogunate regarded the Oda family as a terrifying demon army all day long, and their rhetoric exaggerated their evil and power, and they had no confidence in the head-on conflict, which evolved into a psychological suggestion imposed on them over time.

If Nobunaga came over and blew his beard and glared at him, even if he only had one breath left, it was estimated that he would be able to scare two or three people into peeing their pants on the spot. And the tie is basically regarded as a role such as "the chief demon general under the command of the Great Demon King".

Ordinary people with the naked eye, in the face of the terrifying chief demon general, can talk to each other without changing their faces, which can be regarded as courageous, and they can't be too demanding.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki was actually scared too.

Or even more afraid.

From the time he was born until he was thirty years old, he lived in a simple house in the monastery, eating fasting and reciting Buddha, and did not ask about the world. Food, clothing, shelter and transportation are free for the little novice to take care of, not to mention the blood of the sword, not even the corpse of the hare and pheasant. Reciting scriptures and studying the Dharma is all his "self-struggle".

Such a person, suddenly, due to the "process of history", came to the undercurrent surging, the precarious tiger and wolf's den, and it was really difficult for a strong man to deal with peerless heroes like Oda Nobunaga.

More than anyone else, he has more reason to cringe and hate.

However, Ashikaga Yoshiaki pretended to sit calmly, and when he saw Hite, he suppressed the shogun's eyes, and at this time, in addition to hatred, there was a strange appreciation and respect in his heart.

Five years ago, he was hunted down and killed by the Miyoshi family, and it was all thanks to the monks and ministers to escape, and he was panicked and restless all day long. Wanting to go to Asakura, he was courteous on the surface, but in fact he was ignored. He entered Kyoto with Oda, but Nobunaga said that he would return to Gifu, leaving only Hirate Honhide with 3,000 men to stay behind.

But relying on these 3,000 people and the miscellaneous soldiers gathered by the Hao clan, they used a strange trick to lure the enemy deep and defeated the three of Miyoshi in one fell swoop.

Years of heart disease, once solved.

At that time, Ashikaga Yoshiaki secretly sighed: Why is this person not a genealogy of the shogunate, but a relative of Oda?

Now that thought came back to me again.

Obviously, Nobunaga was stabbed, seriously injured and difficult to treat, and the encirclement was about to come out again, but Hirate Honhide still tried his best to leave enough money for the Oda family.

As soon as he thought of this, Ashikaga Yoshiaki sighed lightly, sat upright, and met the gaze of Hisho Hinoshu: "Hira's middle affairs are good!" Oda's exploits in the army should not be forgotten, and I need to have enough respect for him. As you say, let Oda Danmasa come to the Imperial Palace as the governor, and his son Saemon Governor (Oda Nobutada) will take over as the family governor and stay in Gifu Castle, which must be acceptable to you and me. ”

When the words landed, Pingshou Fanxiu's eyes were still staring straight at him, and his face remained unchanged.

After a while, this was indeed true, and I secretly breathed a sigh of relief and switched back from "combat mode" to "diplomatic mode".

"Then thank you for your kindness......"

"No thanks." Ashikaga Yoshiaki twisted his face and smiled reluctantly, which was more ugly than crying, "There is also a feeling of reluctance, I hope that the peace must let me get my wish." ”

“…… What else does the princess command? Hirate's face began to turn cold again.

"It's not a command, it's just a private request." Ashikaga Yoshiaki tried his best to adjust the muscles of his face in an attempt to normalize his expression, but with little success, "After appointing Oda Danmasa as the head of the shogunate, I hope that Heishou will go further and act as a direct minister of the Ashikaga family, what do you think?" ”

Tieshou was speechless.

This sounds ridiculous, but I can't fault it specifically.

Theoretically, all the daimyo in the world can be regarded as retainers of the shogunate, so this move can only be said to promote the courtiers to direct ministers, not to dig the foot of the wall. On the surface, it is a reward, but in fact, it is cold and warm, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who was originally historical, liked to use this method to weaken the strength of the daimyo in various places.

That's not the case at all. Ashikaga Yoshiaki said that it was "just a private request", but it was clear that he was just using the situation to exert pressure.

The so-called subordinates of monarchs and ministers, in fact, are just false names in many cases.

The situation is urgent, and there is no room for too long to toss on the small details of the false name. What's more, although this matter is not good for Oda, it is not harmful to Hirate Honhide himself.

The only thing to consider is, what will the people of the Oda family think about this?

Nobunaga hurts his lungs, not his brains, and he won't be burdened by fame.

But what other people think...... But it's hard to say.

Therefore, after hearing this, Hisho Hoshu hesitated for a moment.

And Ashikaga Yoshiaki caught this hesitant look, his eyebrows raised, the corners of his mouth smiled, his confidence began to rise, and his demeanor gradually became determined.

At this point, it is useless to hesitate.

Pingshou Fan Xiu bowed down and gave a salute: "After the matter is over, everything is at your command." ”
