The day after Tsugawa Soji entered Kyoto, an angel from the imperial court came to the Ichijo Naiki Residence.

crackled and said a lot, and the central idea was just one sentence, Tsugawa Soji worked hard this time, and was promoted from the third right guard general to the second minister.

However, after the angel finished speaking, Tsugawa Soji suddenly turned around and left, leaving the messenger with a bewildered face at a loss.

"A hall, this ......"

The messenger didn't know what to do for a while, so he had to ask for help from a Neki.

Ichijo Neki pulled the envoy aside, and then asked in a low voice, "Who is the position of Minister of the Interior requested by the Tsugawa Palace?" ”

"Played by the left horse head of the general Ashikaga of Seiyi, handed by the Sekihaku Guard!" The messenger replied truthfully.

"I know, you should wait here for a while!"

With that, Ichijo Neki turned and went into the house.

A quarter of an hour later, Ichijo Neki walked out with a letter in his hand and handed it to the messenger, "Give this recital to Nijoden, and ask him to pass it on his behalf!" ”

"Hah!"

Speaking of which, a family is also unlucky.

After Ichijo Fangtong stepped down from the position of Guan Bai, he was replaced by Nijo Harura, who resigned as Guan Bai two years ago, and the position fell to Ichijo Katsu's eldest son, Ichijo Kanedong.

Yi Jian Dong was only 24 years old at this time, and he was in the position of Guan Bai, and after more than ten years, that one family was simply a big deal.

However, a Kan Dong only had been a year before Guan Bai fell ill and died, and he cheapened the Konoe family for nothing (at this time, Konoe Maehisa should be called Konoe Maehisa), and it was supposed to be Konoe's turn to wait for more than ten years. At this time, Konoe was just eighteen years old.......

In less than an hour, the messenger was gone and returned, but this time the messenger's face was full of smiles.

Entering the house, the envoy first nodded to Ichijo Neiji, and then bowed to Tsugawa Soji, "Tsugawa Palace, Your Majesty has another imperial letter issued!" ”

"There is a person who is the head of the Tsugawa clan and the right guard general of the Tsugawa clan, and he has worked tirelessly to wave his army from the bitter cold land of Okuwa into Luo, save the court and hang upside down, and save the building from the general! After the joint petition of the ministers of Article 2 and Article 1, he was specially promoted to the post of the two right ministers! ”

"Honorable Promise!"

Soharu Tsugawa was satisfied at once.

Why was the interest not high just now, it was because Ashikaga Yoshiteru obviously didn't get the point of Tsugawa Soji. Just a minister sent Lao Tzu away?

Eh,It's still a sensible family and a second family.,When I saw that Tsugawa Soji was not satisfied.,Immediately wrote to Tsugawa Soji to ask for the post of right minister.。

"Brother, are you still satisfied?"

Sending off the messenger, Ichijo Neki leaned in front of Soji Tsugawa and asked with a smile on his face.

Soji Tsugawa patted Ichijo Neki's shoulder, his face almost laughing, "Thanks to the help of the palace shosuke and Nijo Hall this time, you will prepare a generous gift for me and send it to Nijo Mansion later, and thank you to Nijo Hall for me!" ”

"Brother doesn't have to be polite, this is a matter of the next duty!"

"Now one is the same as Jinchuan, one is prosperous and one is lost, and my brother will say thank you again in the future."

"Excellent!"

......

Kyoto, Sekihaku Konoe Maehisaki Residence.

Ashikaga Yoshiki sat alone in the backyard drinking alcohol, and from time to time let out a lament, as if he had a thousand complaints in his heart but could not tell.

Konoe sat opposite Ashikaga Yoshiteru for a long time, looking at Ashikaga Yoshiteru's appearance, and said in his heart, "Ashikaga Hall, the prestige of Tsugawa Hall is like the sky, and the prestige of the Tsugawa family is unstoppable." ”

"It's as strong as Miyoshi, Imagawa and the like, and now they are all defeated at the hands of the Tsugawa family."

"At this time, the daimyo from near and far are all looking forward to the Tsugawa family, and what Ashikaga Hall is thinking about is probably a thousand difficulties!" As he spoke, Konoe also sighed.

"Since I was a child, I was determined to rebuild the shogunate, but I was still young and deceived by the clever words of the Tsugawa thieves, and I mistakenly thought that the Tsugawa thieves were loyal ministers of the shogunate. I didn't expect that now that he had just entered Luo, he didn't put me and the shogunate in his eyes! ”

"It's hateful!" Ashikaga Yoshiki slapped the table in front of him violently, startling Kon Ei for a long time.

"This time I didn't want to ask for the post of Minister of the Interior, but I never thought that he would openly refuse the appointment of the imperial court! What's even more infuriating is that the first, second and other regent families are also willing to be lackeys for their subordinates, and they will pass me to ask for the post of right minister! ”

"Now the ministers of Kyoto are all obedient to Tsugawa Soji, although I am Guan Bai, but I have no real name!"

Speaking of this, Konoe suddenly burst into tears.

Konoe was Sekihaku in the past, the elder of the Fuji clan, and the person with the highest official position among the ministers.

Ashikaga Yoshiteru was the general of the Seiyi Dynasty, the ruler and speaker of the samurai system.

The two of them should be the most "NB" people in this era, but the power has been hollowed out.

How can it not be angry?

In particular, Ashikaga Yoshiteru was originally full of hope that the Tsugawa family, a "loyal minister of the shogunate", would help him defeat the Miyoshi family and return to the shogunate. But when he woke up from this dream, Ashikaga Yoshiki suddenly discovered that Soji Tsugawa was just the next Miyoshi Chokei.

Ashikaga Yoshiteru was naturally unwilling, and he wanted to resist.

But when Ashikaga Yoshiteru traveled all over Kyoto, no one was willing to help him.

Except for Konoe Qianjiu, this difficult brother.

"Ashikaga Temple, if you want to start an incident in Kyoto, I'm afraid it won't be easy, it's better to jump out of this dead place!"

"There are many famous people in the world, and not everyone is willing to work for the Tsugawa family. I thought that Ashikaga Hall should flee Kyoto and contact the daimyo from all over the world to fight against Tsugawa! ”

"I've thought about the words of the Guards, but I'm afraid of the wolf and the tiger!" Ashikaga Yoshiteru shook his head with a bitter face.

Konoe Maehisa continued, "That's not true. ”

"If you don't seek Tsugawa, Ashikaga Hall will be harmed sooner or later. Even if the other daimyo have their own selfish intentions, as long as the Ashikaga Hall is skillful, it has never been impossible for you to use! ”

"This is the only chance, and time is running out for Ashikaga Temple."

"So, can the Guards show me the way?"

"The land of Okuwa is the Tsugawa Honko, and although the Kanto region is full of wealthy families, people such as Hojo and Satomi also have Tsugawa minions."

"The Imagawa family in Tokaido is newly defeated, and it is still difficult to protect themselves, and it will not be able to help Ashikaga Hall become a great thing."

"The land of Shikoku is barren, and there is a place where things can be done, and there is no place where things can be done."

"In this way, it seems that only the Western Kingdom explores the Ouchi clan."

After Konoe finished speaking a long time ago, Ashikaga Yoshiteru on the side suddenly fell silent, as if he was thinking about something.

After a long time, Ashikaga Yoshiteru continued to speak, "But the Ouchi family is now controlled by the Tao family, what if Tao Qingxian refuses to help me?" ”

"Then you can go west to Kyushu and call on the daimyo of Kyushu to help Ashikaga Palace!"

"Kyushu?" Ashikaga Yoshiteru's eyes froze, as if he had an understanding.

......

The twenty-four years of astronomy are fleeting, and soon the new year is coming.

As if to usher in a new chapter in the imperial court, Emperor Nara ordered the change of Gen Koji to the first year of Koji after this year.

At the same time, the retainers of the Tsugawa family are finally looking forward to the long-lost reward.
