"Hosokawa-sama, please go this way!" I said as I reached out and made a "please" gesture.

"Thank you, Lord Lao Zhuxing!" Hosokawa replied politely.

"Hosokawa-sama doesn't need to be polite, I've been waiting for a long time!" After a few polite words, I continued to lead the way. It's really "thirty years of feng shui in turn!" "Three years ago at Nijo Castle in Kyoto, a similar conversation took place, but the one of the parties was changed from Niwa Nagahide to me. I took a rough look at it from the side, but after three years of hard work, Hosokawa Fujitaka looked a lot older than he did at the beginning. As a member of the Hosokawa clan, the Kansai governor, he is undoubtedly of noble blood; As a well-known poet in the world, he is undoubtedly very knowledgeable; As an adjuvant who was able to keep the shogunate in name for a long time in balance among the major powers, he was undoubtedly wise, but ...... Ay! If this is the will of God, how can manpower disobey it? As the power that ruled the world, the road of the Muromachi shogunate had come to an end. "My lord! His Highness Yoshiaki's envoy, Lord Hosokawa, has arrived. I leaned to the side as I said that. This is Hosokawa Fujitaka-sama! ”

"Hosokawa-sama has worked hard all the way! Take your seat! Oda Nobunaga sat on the throne and said solemnly. Now that I know his nature very well, I can say that if you look closely, you will notice that Nobunaga's left hand under the desk is clutching the hem of his shirt. "I wonder if this journey is still peaceful?"

"Thank you for your concern!" Hosokawa Fuji Komaichi leaned over. "It is very calm on the next road, and it all depends on the merits of His Royal Highness Dan Zhengzhong, so that there can be this pure land in the chaotic world." In the end, he is a hierarchical cultural person, and his sycophants are not annoying.

"I wonder how His Highness Yiqiu is doing?" Oda Nobunaga asked with a worried face. "I have always been trusted by the general, so I can stabilize the thick and tail, I am really grateful! I was very shocked when I got the news that Miyoshi had conspired against the public side, and I wanted to go to King Luoqin immediately, but I had no choice but to crusade against Saito Ryuxing at that time, and I was really powerless to withdraw! But fortunately, it didn't take long for me to hear that Yoshiaki-sama was out of danger, and all the adults were safe and sound, so I was a little relieved. ”

"This affection of Lord Dan Zhengzhong is really touching!" Hosokawa Fujitaka's expression also had a hint of sadness. "After the death of His Royal Highness the General, His Highness Yiqiu has been chased and killed by the Miyoshi rebel party, and he was once in danger! Fortunately, there is no shortage of loyal people in the Quartet, and they are always able to get out of danger in time. His Royal Highness Yoshiaki is now in the Echizen Ichijo Valley, and is enshrined in Anyang Temple by His Royal Highness the Governor of Asakura Zuomen. Everything is fine now, His Royal Highness Dan Zhengzhong doesn't need to worry too much! ”

"I wonder what Hosokawa-sama has to teach this time?" Niwa Nagahide, who is familiar with Hosokawa Fujitaka, asked after getting a look from Oda Nobunaga. "Or maybe what does His Highness Yiqiu command?"

"I can't really talk about orders!" Hosokawa Fujitaka replied with extreme humility. "The reason why I took the liberty to come here is mainly to congratulate His Royal Highness Dan Zhengzhong on clearing the rebellion and pacifying Meinong, which is undoubtedly good news for today's chaotic world and the court in distress, and it is also an example for the people of the world!" He speaks very carefully and refuses to throw his hole cards lightly. Today's Ashikaga Yoshiaki is in a delicate situation, as the closest blood relative of the thirteenth generation general Ashikaga Yoshiteru, he has the right to inherit the position of the shogun, but this also depends on the attitude of the powerful daimyo in the world. Now the Miyoshi trio have supported Ashikaga Yoshiei, who was born in the Awa Prince, but no one on Yoshiaki's side has made a clear statement, which makes his position more and more embarrassing.

"At this critical juncture, I don't know what His Highness Yiqiu will do next?" Niwa Nagahide picked the topic more clearly. "If you continue to connive at the behavior of the three good people against the party, it will be something that will chill the people of the world!"

"His Highness Yiqiu will never tolerate this kind of thing!" Hosokawa Fujitaka put on a posture of righteousness and sternness. "It is the great righteousness of the world to crusade against the three good and the party, and His Royal Highness Yiqiu is currently actively preparing. As long as you wait until the army of the loyal and righteous king of all parties gathers, you can send troops, and then your Royal Highness Oda Dan Masazhong will participate in the grand event! ”

"May I ask Hosokawa-sama......" I saw Oda Nobunaga frown vaguely, so I preemptively asked what was in his heart. Since His Royal Highness Yoshiaki is now Echizen, I wonder what His Highness Asakura has planned on this matter? ”

"His Royal Highness Asakura is naturally trying his best to help!" Hosokawa Fujitaka's words were quick and seemed to be hiding something. "Echizen's army is already gathering."

"That's right......" I said softly. Obviously he was lying, if Asakura Yoshikei really had this plan, they were already busy in Echizen, so there was still time to care about Oda Nobunaga? According to the information brought back by Ishikawa Tadatsuna some time ago, in fact, Asakura Yoshikage's life was not easy. Echizen's situation is different from Owari, but it is somewhat similar to Mino, and the power of wealthy families such as Kombami and Tomita is quite strong, so it is natural that it will not be so easy to settle on such a major event as sending troops to Shangluo. Now Kaga's Ichikozong is also ready to move, and at this time, it is naturally difficult for Asakura Yoshikage to make up his mind. "Lord!" I turned to Oda Nobunaga. "His Royal Highness Asakura is highly respected for his loyalty, righteousness, and morality, and he also commands the 500,000 stone territory in Echizen, which can be described as strong! With his assistance, His Royal Highness Yiqiu will definitely be able to do great things, so you don't have to worry about this matter! ”

"You ......" Oda Nobunaga just wanted to blame me, and suddenly thought of the joint here, so he changed his words and said, "You are right, I think so too!" ”

"In that case!" I pretended to think for a moment and then said, "The Lord can take this opportunity to concentrate on quelling the rebellion of the Yizong Sect in Long Island City, they are the confidants of my family!" ”

"Yes, yes, what Lord Zhuxing said is very true!" Niwa Nagahide also joined this "double reed". "The terrain of Long Island City is dangerous, the city is strong, and there are more than 10,000 monks and soldiers of the Sect, and the rebellion is always used to make trouble! My lord, even if you mobilize all the forces of your family to take Long Island, I am afraid it will be protracted, you still have to prepare early! ”

"His Royal Highness Dan Zhengzhong, I hope to focus on the overall situation!" Seeing that the purpose of this trip was likely to be in the soup, Hosokawa Fujitaka was a little anxious. "At a time like this, all major events should not be in the name of the world, and only the right thing is to put things in order. Your Highness must not be indistinguishable from the important and the important, and delay the big thing! ”

"Hosokawa-sama is serious!" Seeing that he had caught the weakness of the other party, Oda Nobunaga also relaxed. "With all major events presiding over Yoshikage Asakura, what else can I worry about? Besides, in all respects, I am far from Yijinggong, so there is no need to meddle rashly! ”

"Actually, His Royal Highness Yiqiu still relies more on His Highness Zhengzhong!" Hosokawa Fujitaka began to soften his words. "Now His Royal Highness Dan Zhengzhong has millions of territories in Owari and Mino, tens of thousands of elite soldiers in his hands, and has long maintained the morality of the world, and there is no hero in the world! At this moment, you are the strength that the shogunate needs to rely on, so don't be presumptuous in small things! ”

"Hosokawa-sama, please have tea!" Oda Nobunaga smiled slightly......

After that, I didn't speak again, just quietly watched the scene in front of me. Oda Nobunaga's conditions were simple, Yoshiaki could only rely on the Oda family and have him gather the princes to join the alliance, and everyone else who wanted to covet the leadership of the alliance stood aside. After nearly an hour of discussion, Hosokawa Fujitaka agreed to all the conditions, and Oda Nobunaga got what he wanted.
