Chapter Seventy-Eight: Authenticity Is Hard to Distinguish

Hisho Tsusho put on a posture of being a big soldier and summoned the most suspicious Tennoji House boss Tsuda Munewa for questioning, with two motives.

First, I am worried that the situation in the future will be out of control and affect the safety of my own family, so I want to probe the tone of the businessman.

The second is that I vaguely feel that there are careerists behind the scenes, and I want to try to see if I can scam some clues.

The negotiation process went smoothly, but what the other party said was terrifying.

The set of legendary plot details told by Tsuda Munekazu cannot be verified, and there is no need to investigate the authenticity. Even if you are telling the truth, it may be caused by subjective assumptions and inappropriate brain supplements, which is not worth believing easily.

But what if it's true?

What if things turn out exactly as Munekazu Tsuda said?

Oda Nobunaga was nominally the head of the shogunate, but in fact he was confined in the imperial palace, and he was not seen except for doctors and servants. In this case, the only way to make a difference is to connect with the close ministers of the Ashikaga family, secretly hook up, and constantly make trouble to expand the ranks to eliminate dissidents, and gradually empty the shogun of Seiyi.

It's just hard to get to the sky.

However, if the protagonist is a demon king, it always makes people feel that the possibility is not zero.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki suddenly changed his attitude and strictly forbade outsiders to visit this "ruler", perhaps because Nobunaga's health gradually recovered, which aroused vigilance.

But it could also be that the princess noticed some signs of danger.

If you expand the association, will the fall of favor of the shogunate's close minister Fujiei Mibuchi have something to do with it?

It doesn't make sense why did you choose this place to destroy Kaimachi? Isn't this dismantling your own platform?

Let's assume that Nobunaga's domineering spirit is released and he subdues several shogunate retainers, so that one of them can take the opportunity to go to Kaimachi to make contact with people he knows and plan a change that is beneficial to his next arrangement......

Kinoshita Hideyoshi or Imai Munehisa can't be found, and Tsuda Muneko is also a businessman close to the Oda family, but the trust between them is obviously not enough. The draw revealed that it was revealed after a little questioning, so for other people with similar status, if they have plans to cooperate with them, they will not be tight-lipped either.

It can also be explained that there is no one in the world who has a similar status and is capable of cooperating with Tennoji House, but let's not be so self-righteous and optimistic.

It seems that the messenger doesn't care about the leakage of the matter in the future, and even actively seeks to leak it......

Speaking of which, unlike Mori Motosho and Takeda Shingen, Nobunaga, who is also known as a master of strategy, does not pay attention to treachery and concealment, nor does he pay much attention to dialectics, but makes full use of his position, military strength, and financial resources to fight divisions and persuade enemy generals to surrender openly.

People who have been moved by Maori and Takeda have often regretted that they had "fallen for the trick" afterwards.

However, the switch to Oda makes people feel that "it is the best choice to change the court".

So......

Is the Demon King playing with the power trick of the real and the false again?

No, no, there is so little that we know too little to make meaningful speculations.

This is the disadvantage of staying away from the political situation in Kyoto.

Both Asai and Oda were focused on Kinai, and they were definitely more sensitive to the subtle changes within the shogunate.

Hirate decided to put the matter behind him for the time being, and at the same time allocate a little more manpower, material resources and energy to the Kyoto Imperial Palace. After you have enough information, you will analyze it carefully.

At the very least, I have to ask Ise Sadako and Akechi Mitsuhide.

However, the idea of "leaving the vortex and going out to expand" will not change.

It is no longer the era of the manor, the state government, and the imperial family. The name of righteousness is important, but if it cannot be translated into the land and troops in actual hands, it will be a vain after all.

During the period of waiting for things to cool down, Heite Honhide, as the ruler of Izumi Province, fulfilled the friendship of the landlord and entertained the representatives sent by the major forces to join in the fun.

In response to the matter of how to deal with the culprit Sugitani, everyone was enthusiastic, and they made suggestions one after another, and came up with hundreds of tortures. I don't know if there is some incomprehensible political implication behind it, or if I am simply idle and panicked, so I came here to pass the time.

The place of execution does not need to be discussed, but it must be Kyoto. According to common sense, only there is enough exposure to deter the hidden juniors.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki naturally regarded himself as the presiding officer, and took this opportunity to send many invitations to invite daimyos from near and far to the imperial palace.

It is conceivable that most people will not hesitate to deduce the bitter hatred of the assassin, and try to implicate the Oda family's Kamiro Weiye on themselves.

But the tie has no interest in it.

People who really build up their deeds and get rewards in the process of going to Luo, why bother to join in the fun?

He directly found Kinoshita Hideyoshi and explained: "I've been going back and forth recently, and it seems that I have accidentally contracted a disease, and I'm afraid I'm going to trouble you about escorting the criminal." ”

Just give him a chance to start a new journey.

The "Okiya" and "Ogawaya", where the Sugitani Zenjubo had been boldly hidden, were taken down directly by the soldiers of the commission and considered accomplices. Their backstage, that is, the big boss of the "Rouge House", Hongwu Zongyang, kicked his steproom out of the house that night, and then announced that he would be ordained and go to the temple barefoot in plain clothes to cultivate, so as not to be implicated.

Life and death change abruptly overnight.

It's embarrassing.

In the face of such a blow, the merchants of Kaimachi united as never before, and semi-openly resisted Kinoshita Hideyoshi's office, and Imai Munehisa and Senshoyi were also severely criticized for being "internal and external enemies".

They don't have enough troops and don't have the courage to kill, but they can still exert influence in unique ways.

The death of a rabbit and a fox is sad and sad, and the emotions are understandable.

In this chaotic era of bad etiquette, the vast majority of businesses have been more or less related to the "traitors", but the difference is just a difference.

Kinoshita Hideyoshi's behavior of raiding the door of the house without saying a word will make many people unable to sleep.

It's true that this time it was the big wooden house and the small river house that went too far and got caught, but as soon as this case is opened, what if the standard for arresting people continues to be lowered in the future?

Everyone has the awareness of preventing microscopic problems.

And so, the Kaimachi Commission, which had only been in operation for only three and a half years, was about to become history, unless Oda Nobutada, Hirate Tsunohide, Shibata Katsuie, Takigawa Kazuyoshi and others were willing to keep it at all costs.

This is obviously not realistic.

"I'm not going to hide it, I'm really going to Kyoto. Oda Sajin conveyed a message promising Mino 10,000 stone to know how to go. The princess was invited to the Imperial Palace to serve as the temple town of Yamashiro Province. Kinoshita Hideyoshi revealed his whereabouts frankly, "Lord Detective should be able to guess it, and Zai Xia chose the latter without hesitation." Since Oda Danmasa is now living in Kyoto as the head of the shogunate, of course I will choose to stay closest to his old man's house! ”

Hikawa didn't know what to say for a while.

First of all, of course, I would like to thank Kinoshita Hideyoshi for being so honest and honest.

Secondly, I feel that Oda Nobutada's methods are still a little worse. Changing from a 5,000-stone town to a small lord of 10,000 stone in Mino is not a reward at all. At this time, the emphasis should be on the position of power rather than the position of wealth.

As for Ashikaga Yoshiaki, he is obviously much more spicy in terms of details and strategies, and the treatment offered can be regarded as very sincere. But - he actually tried to win over Nobunaga to promote Kinoshita Hideyoshi from among the grooms? Who gave him self-confidence? Who gave him courage?

The story of Fucha and Gou Jian seems to be repeated in human society, and many politicians who are at a disadvantage can try their best to turn the situation around, but they are beginning to be complacent and reckless......

After sending Kinoshita Hideyoshi away, the "occasional cold" Hisho Hisho Hishu out of respect for his acting career, really lived in a shallow way and no longer saw guests.

At this time, the messengers sent out to ask for help from Ise Sadako and Akechi Mitsuhide returned.

It's just that the results are not satisfactory.

Ise Sadaiko wrote, "There are indeed some embarrassing things happening in the shogunate, but they involve too sensitive and intimate matters, so please forgive me for not divulging them. ”

The saying "dare not reveal" actually reveals something in itself.

It seems that our government deacon is only one step away from the glory of the traitor, but this step has never been crossed.

Probably because he suddenly found his conscience?

Conscience is a superfluous and bad thing.

Wise Mitsuhide didn't even have the interest to write, and only verbally said: "Now that I am in a high position and power, I spend my mind on some boring and idle tasks all day long, and I have not heard of the central affairs for a long time. ”

I only knew-

It turned out that Ashikaga Yoshiaki was a "key position" who arranged for Akechi Mitsuhide to be responsible for divination, fortune calculation, feng shui exploration, and heaven and earth signs, and he was in trouble with noble priests and monks every day.

It's worthy of being a public lord, and it's so creative.

After receiving the replies from these two people, Ping Shouxiu became more and more confused and worried.

In any case, things outside of ability can only be ignored and not thought about him, and the right thing should not be delayed because people are worried.

And the biggest business these days is to deal with the advice of Tsuda Munekazu.

Thanks to the efforts of the intelligence officers and the Yubi Shusa, the information of Tennoji House has been compiled into documents and sent to Hirate Hakuhide in a timely manner.

The Tsuda family is a very interesting businessman, compared to other wealthy merchants, their history is not very long, and the real rise is only in the last 30 years. During this time, they established friendships with many traditional powers, including Sanjo Nishishitaka, a cultured man from a public family, and Shimoma, a boguan of Ishiyama Honganji, but most importantly as the royal merchants of Hosokawa and Miyoshi as the overlords of.

It's not uncommon to cling to the powerful, but it's rare that they have been able to change their stance decisively through the Hosokawa, Miyoshi, and Oda eras in succession, and have not been affected by the change of regime.

Ikenaga Heihisa and Red House Soyo had the same prestige and wealth in the past as Tsuda Soyo, but they refused to face up to the rise of the Oda clan, so they gradually weakened.

Imai Munehisa and Chimunamo sensed the general trend of history and took the initiative to maintain friendship with Kinoshita Hideyoshi, but after Nobunaga's assassination, they failed to adjust their mentality in time and finally suffered a setback.

Only Tsuda Munekichi has always been one of the top three giants in the world.

Such a businessman, although still only a businessman, seems to be qualified to be the guest and right hand of any careerist.

By the way, the female monk she met by chance at Myoshin Temple can be confirmed to be the sister of Tsuda Munekichi. The relationship between the brother and sister seems to be quite good, and the correspondence and money are quite close.

If you think about it, the friar's posture and appearance are commendable......

After reading the information, Hirate Honhide summoned Asano Nagayoshi and instructed: "Yan Chiyomaru has reached the age where he needs to learn some knowledge of the tea ceremony, and the Tsuda sect and the big boss of Tennoji House are experts in this way, so you should ask him if he would like to let his son Yoshimatsu be a classmate and accompany my children to practice together." ”
