In the third year of Yonglu, on the fifth day of the seventh month. As soon as the sun went down, the Miyoshi Army quickly made arrangements on the main roads of Kyoto. General Yoshitsugu Miyoshi, with the assistance of one of his important ministers, Miyoshi Masaho, led more than 4,000 troops to the camp in Sanbongi along the Kamogawa River; Matsunaga led more than 1,000 troops to stand by in the Karasuma area; Iwanari Tomotsu led more than 1,000 troops to stand by in the Muromachi area; Miyoshi Changyi led more than 2,000 troops to stand by in the area of Xida Road; Miyoshi Masayasu led more than 2,000 troops to stand by in the area of the survey by the path. More than 10,000 Sanhao troops surrounded the Nijo Imperial Palace so tightly that not even a bird could fly in.

Toba Fushimi in the southeast of Kyoto was garrisoned by Miyoshi Naganao (Settsu Miyoshi and Amagasaki Honda) and Imamura Yoshimitsu (former Hosokawa clan retainer and later Yamashiro Kunishi Acting Governor and Koizumi Castle Lord) each led more than 500 troops, and Toba and Fushimi were just holding the road to Kyoto from the Omi Koga clan of the Shogun of Ideshi's family. After placing Miyoshi Naganao and Imamura Keimitsu in Toba and Fushimi, Miyoshi Sanren and Matsunaga Tong and others still felt uneasy, and then sent Miyoshi Nagakatsu (Miyoshi Nagayi and other people), Miyoshi Boichi (Miyoshi Yasunaga retainer), Yokota Muneaki (Miyoshi family and Ichi) and others to lead more than 500 troops to garrison Ryuunji, Momoyama, and Mikanomiya in the northeast of Toba and Fushimi.

After all the generals of the Miyoshi family were all arranged, it began to rain at night.

Although Akechi Mitsuhide is in Sakamoto, he still knows a little about the situation. He knew very well that the Miyoshi family had sent more than 13,000 troops to Shangluo, and it was definitely not good for those who came to the good people to come, so he immediately let the military masters such as Umiizumi Hidetsuna, Kikita Keikane, and Marumme Nagae (a disciple of Umiizumi Hidetsuna) who had come to Kyoto to practice quickly enter the Nijo Imperial Palace to protect Ashikaga Yoshiki, and he quickly recruited troops in the territory in case of emergency.

After Hidetsuna Kamiizumi, Keikane Hitada, and Nagae Marumme cautiously entered the Nijo Imperial Palace and met Ashikaga Yoshiteru himself, no one expected that a big change would occur tonight that would shock more than 60 prefectures in Goki, 7 provinces, and 60 prefectures.

The Oteemon Gate of the Nijo Imperial Palace is facing Muromachi Street, and the renovation of the Imperial Gate has been completed, as have the two arrow turrets in the Imperial Palace.

After the time passed, the rain weakened slightly, and when it was time to go, the various units of the Miyoshi Army, which were deployed in Karasuma, Muromachi, Nishioji, and Kanji-o-koji, were simultaneously armed with Matsumei torches and outflanked the Nijo Imperial Palace from their respective locations. More than 10,000 troops of the Miyoshi Army launched a general attack on the Nijo Imperial Palace, and in order to gain absolute superiority, this Miyoshi Army was equipped with a total of 1,500 iron cannons, and it was very bold to attack from four directions at the same time.

At the same time, Ashikaga Yoshiteru was sitting in the quiet room staring at hundreds of knives in a daze, reaching out to take the world's famous sword boy Che Angang, and slowly pulled out the blade that revealed the snowy blade, and the back of the knife that was smooth as a mirror reflected the thin and clear face.

"What's the sound?!" Ashikaga Yoshiki, who was wiping his sword, instantly got up and opened the paper door and walked into the corridor, and he immediately thought of the Miyoshi family, which occupied most of Gyeonggi, and the Rokkaku family in Omi, could it be that they rebelled?

Immediately, Ashikaga Yoshiteru sent his close ministers Mitsunaga Numata, Takashi Hosokawa, Teru Takeda and others to check on Otemon.

Numata Mitsunaga, Hosokawa Takashi, Takeda Terumobu and others quickly ran to the arrow turrets near Otemon and found that the streets and alleys around the Imperial Palace were lit with Matsumei torches. The flags that surround the two Imperial Palaces are all nail-pulled. However, in order to determine the enemy general of the attacking Nijo Imperial Palace, Numata Mitsunaga, Hosokawa Takashi, Takeda Terumobu and others still shouted down: "Who is the rebel?!" Quickly report to the head of the general! ”

"I am a retainer of Dr. Miyoshi Zuojing, and I am here today to ask for an appeal." Iwanari replied loudly.

Mitsunaga Numata, Takashi Hosokawa, Terunobu Takeda and others hurriedly rushed down the arrow turret to report to Ashikaga Yoshiteru. At the same time, Iwaki Yutsu also commanded more than 1,000 Miyoshi troops to launch a fierce attack on the Otemon Gate of the Nijo Imperial Palace.

Due to the scarcity of defenders in the Nijo Imperial Palace, the public samurai could only watch as the square gate of the Nijo Imperial Palace was violently slammed open by the battering ram, and the public samurai were defeated and retreated.

"Request an appeal? Sending an envoy with a complaint can do this, but do you need to send 15,000 troops to surround the Nijo Imperial Palace? It's really the first time I've heard of such a thing! Ashikaga Yoshiki sneered after listening to the reports of Numata Mitsunaga, Hosokawa Takashi, Takeda Terumobu and others. Then, with the help of Xiao Xiao and his close ministers, he quickly put on his armor and prepared to face it.

After changing into the ancestral armor of the Ashikaga family and wearing a helmet with five gold decorations, Ashikaga Yoshiteru inserted more than 30 of the hundreds of swords in his collection into the ground and inserted them in the corridor, fighting against the attacking Miyoshi army.

Although Ashikaga Yoshiteru was guarded by samurai who were good at swordsmanship, such as Hidetsuna Kamiizumi, Keikane Otada, and Nagae Marume, the public still couldn't turn the situation around. More than 50 people, including Shinshi Fujinobu, Arakawa Harunobu, Arakawa Terumune, Hikobe Harunao, Hikobe Teruminobu, Sugihara Harusimori, Ogasawara Minomori, Numata Mitsunaga, Hosokawa Takashi, Takeda Terumobu, Settsu Chiyomaru, Isshiki Awaji Mamoru , Jibe Fujitsu, and Jibe Fuji Ami, were killed by the Miyoshi Army one after another.

When Ashikaga Yoshiki led the remnants of the public to temporarily repel the Iwaki-Yutsu Department, Hidetsuna Kamiizumi, Keikane Kita, Marume Nagae and others advised him to immediately break through in the direction of Minami Omi Sakamoto, and after arriving in Sakamoto, he could unite the daimyo such as the Rokkaku family and the Kuchiki family to confront the Miyoshi family.

However, Ashikaga Yoshiteru rejected the advice of Hidetsuna Umiizumi, Keikane Otada, Nagae Marume, and others, and still decided to stick to the Nijo Imperial Palace. After a long period of fierce fighting between the two sides, Ashikaga Yoshiki slashed a hundred people, lost several swords, and gradually became timid, seeing that the Miyoshi army was still pouring like a tide, layer by layer, killing inexhaustibly, cutting endlessly, after seeing that the Nijo Imperial Palace had been completely surrounded by the rebels like a lonely boat in the sea, the silent Ashikaga Yoshiteru had already realized his fate, and knew that his limit had come, so he led the crowd to fight and retreat into the inner room.

Ashikaga Yoshiteru knew that most of the people such as Hidetsuna Kamiizumi, Keikan Ota and Marume Nagae were from Kanto, and did not want them to die in the chaos here, so he ordered them to escort their own Imperial Observatory (the main room of the Shogun Seiyi) Konoe clan (the daughter of the Konoe Ueke family) and two concubines from the Nijo Imperial Palace, and also ordered Terutsu Sidekami to immediately go to negotiate with the generals of the Miyoshi family.

Hidetsuna Kamiizumi, Keikane Hita, Nagae Marumme and others no longer insisted, and then entered the Ohiroma and slowly left with the panicked Konoe and Ashikaga Yoshiteru's two daughters. And the Miyoshi Sanzhong, Matsunaga Tong and others did not want to offend the Konoe family of the Minister and the then Sekihaku Konoe Maehisa, so they only agreed to allow the two daughters of the Godaisho Konoe clan and Ashikaga Yoshiki to leave the Nijo Imperial Palace safely, while Ashikaga Yoshiki's favorite side room Jinshi little attendant (the daughter of Jinshi Haruhasha) was not so lucky, and the Miyoshi Sanzhong and Matsunaga Tong and others directly refused to leave the Nijo Imperial Palace, which was already pregnant. However, Ashikaga Yoshiteru's other side room quietly left before the Miyoshi army had completely surrounded the Nijo Imperial Palace.

In order to prevent the Ashikaga Shogun's family (Horikoshi Gongkata line) from severing his bloodline, Ashikaga Yoshiteru immediately ordered his close ministers Kobayakawa Gaiki, Yoshikawa Sainomiya and others to protect the side room Karasuma clan (from Fujiwara Kitake Hinanoru), who was already pregnant for eight months, to temporarily go to hide in Mitsuei Castle, the lord of Yokoi Castle in Sanki Province, who was in secret contact with the shogun's family.

"Genji's dream for a thousand years was shattered, and the fire burned all the evil in the world. The drizzle of May is like tears, and I wish to send my name to the sky. Ashikaga Yoshiteru wrote a farewell poem (also known as a farewell sentence) in the Ohiroma under the cover of the remaining 20 or so public samurai. From the beginning of the Kamakura period to the aftermath of the Meiji Restoration, Ashikaga Yoshiteru was probably the only one who went into battle to kill the enemy with his sword as a general of Seiyi.

Soon, a fire broke out in various parts of the Honmaru of the Nijo Imperial Palace, and the fire gradually approached Ohiroma, and Ashikaga Yoshiki continued to fight in Ohiroma. At this time, Ashikaga Yoshiteru tripped over Miyoshi's spear and fell to the ground, and then the swarming Miyoshi army removed many paper doors from Ohiroma and pressed them against Ashikaga Yoshiteru's body, making him unable to move. After that, countless spears pierced Ashikaga Yoshiaki's body, and soon after, Ashikaga Yoshiaki, the strong minister, swallowed his breath.

Ashikaga Yoshiteru's biological mother, Keijuin (the main room of Ashikaga Yoshiharu, the daughter of Konoe Naomiti and the 12th Muromachi shogun, Ashikaga Yoshiharu), also ended her life in the raging fire. Ashikaga Yoshiteru's favorite side chamber shinshi was found and killed by the Miyoshi army behind the rockery in the Honmaru garden.

Even after the death of Ashikaga Yoshiteru, Keisuin, Jinshi Shoshi and others, the three of Miyoshi and Matsunaga still felt uneasy, thinking that Ashikaga Yoshiki and two of his brothers were still alive and had to be cut off. According to the practice of the shogun's family, these two men both became monks, one was named Zhou Hui and became a monk at Rokuen Temple in Kyoto, and the other was called Kakukei, and he was a monk in the Ichishinain Temple of Kofukuji Temple in Nara.
