Kyoto, Shogun's Imperial Palace.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki sat at the top, and Hosokawa Fujitaka, Wada Yumasa and others sat on both sides. As was gradually pacified by the Oda family, the number of shogunates in the Ashikaga shogunate began to increase. For example, Takamasa Tayama was himself a shogunate of the shogunate, so he rushed to Kyoto after Ashikaga Yoshiaki opened again.

Looking at the people below, the joy and pride in Ashikaga Yoshiaki's heart were all revealed on his face. However, this is also a normal thing, after all, just last year, he was just an unknown monk sitting in the monastery chanting Buddha sutras. And now, he is already the general who commands the world, under the emperor, and above 10,000 people.

"Ladies and gentlemen, these days, thanks to the assistance of you, the shogunate has been able to restore order and rule to its original order." Ashikaga Yoshiaki said lightly.

"It is an honor for the ministers to serve His Royal Highness the General!" Everyone said in unison.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki nodded, and then said loudly, "You are all heroes of the shogunate, so I plan to reward you and others...... Yumasa Wada! Ikeda Kinmasa! Itami pro-xing! Appoint you and the other three to be the guardians of Settsu! Hosokawa Fujitaka, appoint you as the guardian of the mountain castle! Takamasa Tayama, appoint you as the guardian of Hanoi! ”

As soon as the words fell, the room was silent, and Ashikaga Yoshiaki looked at everyone with a strange expression, obviously he didn't expect them to react at all after hearing this. Speaking of which, he is ready to enjoy the praises of the ministers.

"You ...... What's going on? Ashikaga Yoshiaki asked inexplicably, but unfortunately no one answered.

"Fujitaka? Fujitaka? Seeing this, Ashikaga Yoshiaki hurriedly beckoned Hosokawa Fujitaka on the very edge and asked.

Hearing Ashikaga Yoshiaki's urging for consecutive victories, Hosokawa Fujitaka, who could not continue to pretend to be dead, could only sigh helplessly and said, "Your Highness the General, appointing a guard for such a major matter, my subordinates suggest that it is better to discuss it with His Highness Oda first......

"What?!" When Ashikaga Yoshiaki heard this, his face suddenly became gloomy. He looked around at everyone and asked in a cold tone, "You guys...... Do you think so too? ”

No one answered, but everyone bowed their heads in unison, acquiescing in the matter.

"Bastard! What do you mean by that?! Don't you know that I'm the general of Zhengyi?! Why are you asking Oda Nobunaga that guy?! He's just a shogunate ......," Ashikaga Yoshiaki stood up and shouted angrily.

But before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Hosokawa Fujitaka, "Your Highness!! Hosokawa Fujitaka snorted, and then said in a low voice, "Please also ask Your Highness to be cautious......

"Caution?" Ashikaga Yoshiaki looked at Hosokawa Fujitaka muttering in disbelief, he turned his head a little mechanically, and everyone in his eyes lowered their heads and remained silent. Ashikaga Yoshiaki understood that by doing so, they were acquiescing in Hosokawa Fujitaka's words.

Suddenly, Ashikaga Yoshiaki stood up and trotted a few steps in front of Hosokawa Fujitaka, who bent down and tilted his head so that he could see Hosokawa Fujitaka's expression more clearly.

"Caution? Are you telling me to be cautious? Ashikaga Yoshiaki asked in a strange voice.

After asking, without waiting for Hosokawa Fujitaka to answer, he ran to the others and asked again. It's just that everyone's attitude is the same, prostrating themselves on the ground and being silent.

This situation immediately made Ashikaga Yoshiaki crazy, "What do you mean?!" Am I not the general of Seiyi, but Oda Nobunaga?! Ashikaga Yoshiaki asked sharply. After asking, he ran to Hosokawa Fujitaka's side and asked in a strange voice, "Come, Fujitaka, you come and tell me, who is the general of Zhengyi?" ”

"Of course it's you, Your Highness the General!" Hosokawa Fujitaka said in an expressionless whisper.

"Wow~ It's me? But why did I, as a shogun, want to reward the shogunates, but I need to ask Oda Nobunaga? Ashikaga Yoshiaki bent over, tilted his head and circled around Hosokawa Fujitaka twice, and asked again in a strange voice. Fujitaka, can you tell me why? ”

"I'm so sorry!!" Hosokawa Fujitaka said in a deep voice, but after finishing speaking, he was silent again.

Seeing this, Ashikaga Yoshiaki was completely furious, "Get out of here!" Get lost! Ashikaga Yoshiaki screamed.

"Yes......" Hosokawa Fujitaka and the others replied in a deep voice, and then quickly left the room.

As soon as he went out, Hosokawa Fujitaka saw Kinoshita Hideyoshi, who was sitting outside looking at the courtyard, as if enjoying the scenery.

"Kinoshita-sama, please don't get me wrong......" Hosokawa Fujitaka hurriedly stepped forward to try to explain something.

"Eh, Hosokawa-sama, what are you talking about?" Kinoshita Hideyoshi interrupted Hosokawa Fujitaka's words, and then said with a smile, "His Royal Highness the General is the head of the family who holds the position of the general with one hand, so how can there be any misunderstanding between him?" After all, His Royal Highness the General is just talking~"

Hearing this, everyone hurriedly responded, "Yes! Right! Just talking! ”

Seeing everyone's echo, a trace of helplessness flashed on Hosokawa Fujitaka's face, but he was looked at by Kinoshita Hideyoshi. "Hosokawa-sama, you should know very well that His Royal Highness the General is here today because of the help of the lord of the family."

"Please rest assured, Kinoshita-sama, neither His Royal Highness nor I will forget this." Hearing this, Hosokawa Fujitaka immediately replied in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Kinoshita Hideyoshi suddenly stood up and stretched, muttering to himself as he walked out, "Oops, there's nothing to do here every day, I'm bored to death, go out for a drink!" ”

Looking at Kinoshita Hideyoshi's disappearing figure, Hosokawa Fujitaka and the others secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but the constant roar of Ashikaga Yoshiaki in their ears made their mood really not good.

Indeed, how could they be in a good mood? Although they didn't understand what kind of madness Ashikaga Yoshiaki was doing today, it was clear that they all knew very well how serious the consequences of doing so would be.

Oda Nobunaga helped Ashikaga Yoshiaki Kamiraku for the shogunate? I'm afraid that the number of people in the world who believe in this will not exceed 1 percent, right? And the ignorant civilians. And among these people, there is absolutely no one such as Hosokawa Fujitaka and others.

They knew very well that Oda Nobunaga's purpose was nothing more than to announce to the world the strength of their family by helping the shogun reopen. By the way, blackmail the generals to order the princes? Of course not! If the general's order still had this effect, Ashikaga Yoshiteru and his son would not have been so miserable, and Ashikaga Yoshiaki would not have waited so long, and he was forced to let the Oda family help him to go to Luo.

The only purpose is to gain the righteous name of sending troops to other forces by controlling the general. See you upset? It's very simple, directly convict you of ignoring the general, and then you can lead the troops to kill him. Because in this day and age, if you want to attack others, you always need a name. As the saying goes, only when a division is famous can it win all battles. And if they do so, even if other forces know about it, they will not find any excuse to oppose it. Otherwise, if the hat of an assistant thief is buckled on his head, God knows if those lowly wealthy families will take the opportunity to find trouble.

Therefore, everyone understands very well what Ashikaga Yoshiaki represents to Oda Nobunaga. Otherwise, Oda Nobunaga would not have refused Ashikaga Yoshiaki's various rewards.

"Alas, despite today's events, it seems that Kinoshita-sama does not intend to tell His Highness Oda. But His Royal Highness the General, I don't know if it will stop because of this......" Hosokawa Fujitaka said helplessly, and drank the wine in the cup in one gulp.

"I hope he can see the situation clearly, now, the shogunate has no chance to take back the power." Akechi Mitsuhide said in a deep voice. Regarding the strength of the Oda family, although there was no resistance because of the trip to Shangluo, the people of the world don't seem to see it clearly, and even Akechi Mitsuhide, who is a retainer of the Oda family, is not very clear.

After all, Oda Yoshinobu and his troops, who are known as the strongest combat power of the Oda family, also did not show much strength during their trip to Shangluo. At the same time, the Sanhe troops, who were not afraid of death in the battle, were even more soy sauce throughout the whole process. But even the tip of the iceberg revealed was enough to make Akechi Mitsuhide deeply shocked. Neither the number of troops nor the discipline that was forbidden was completely absent from any other place.

To put it simply, in history, almost any successful force in Kamirako had its troops loot in Kyoto. Although each of the forces will order the prohibition of these things, it will not do anything at all. But what about the Oda family? After the order was given to prohibit the troops from harassing civilians, the soldiers really complied with it completely. And this, in the eyes of Akechi Mitsuhide, is completely incredible.

Hearing Akechi Mitsuhide's words, Hosokawa Fujitaka sighed helplessly again, "But looking at the appearance of His Royal Highness the General, it doesn't seem that he intends to forget it like this." During this period of time, the praise of it in the court has made His Royal Highness the General a little fluttering. ”

"This ...... It's up to Hosokawa-sama to advise you. Wise Mitsuhide responded, but then he sighed helplessly, "But according to the temper of His Royal Highness the general, I'm afraid I won't be able to listen to the advice of others." ”

"Alas......" For Akechi Mitsuhide's words, Hosokawa Fujitaka was speechless, and could only sigh again, glass after glass of wine in his hand. Obviously, the shogun, who had always been loyal to the shogunate, was very disappointed with Ashikaga Yoshiaki's actions today.
