Nijo-jo Castle.

"What? Nobunaga wants to see me?! Ashikaga Yoshiaki looked at Hosokawa Fujitaka in a somewhat flustered tone. Obviously, he thought that it was because Oda Nobunaga came to him after he found out about the fact that he had sent imperial books to the daimyo in various places. Ashikaga Yoshiaki is not stupid, he knows very well that what he has done will make Oda Nobunaga dissatisfied, after all, he just skipped Oda Nobunaga to appoint Kinai Guardian before, which attracted Oda Nobunaga's blame.

Well? If you know why you are doing it? Quite simply, Ashikaga Yoshiaki was unwilling, he didn't want to be a puppet after becoming a general. That's why he insisted on sending the imperial book, the consequences? Ashikaga Yoshiaki didn't think about it, but he never thought that Oda Nobunaga's reaction would be so strong and so thorough.

"From today onwards, all the general rights you are exercising, you must first tell Hideyoshi, and he will tell you what you can and cannot do. At the same time, he will also tell you what he wants you to do. Oda Nobunaga said lightly, as if he was just talking about a very ordinary little thing.

After speaking, without waiting for Ashikaga Yoshiaki to speak, Oda Nobunaga said again, "In addition, from today onwards, if you want to leave Nijo Castle, you must get Hideyoshi's permission. At the same time, it must also be protected by them. Finally, your servants and maids don't seem to be very reliable, so I've picked out another batch of ...... for you."

Astound...... There was no other look on everyone's face than shock. Since the Onin Rebellion, no one has dared to restrict the general like this, not even Hosokawa Masamoto and Miyoshi Nagakei. At most, they use all kinds of means to threaten the generals and make them use them for their own purposes. Otherwise, it would be impossible for Ashikaga Yoshiteru to gather a group of forces that support him to fight against the Miyoshi family.

But now, Oda Nobunaga has done it, and he has done it very thoroughly. How did this make Ashikaga Yoshiaki and his courtiers dare to believe it? Isn't this just a change of day? Oda Nobunaga is going to turn the sky upside down!

"Bold! How dare you be so disrespectful to His Royal Highness the General! Are you trying to rebel?! A shogunate yelled angrily, he was originally a local minister who had been promoted by Ashikaga Yoshiaki. Although he understands that Oda Nobunaga is powerful, he still looks down on these mud-legged samurai in the countryside in his bones.

As soon as the words fell, the room was filled with a cold killing intent, which directly made the courtier sit down in fright. And in the first place, Ashikaga Yoshiaki also looked at Oda Yoshinobu with a frightened face, although he didn't show that he was very embarrassed, but it could be seen from his trembling lips that he was also frightened.

"Righteous faith, don't be rude in front of His Royal Highness the General." Oda Nobunaga said lightly.

"Yes......" Oda Yoshinobu replied, retracting his killing intent.

"Then, His Royal Highness the General, the matter is settled, if you have any questions, you can ask Hideyoshi." Oda Nobunaga looked at Ashikaga Yoshiaki and said in a deep voice.

After speaking, he turned his head to look at Kinoshita Hideyoshi and said, "Monkey, I'll leave it to you here." If anything goes wrong, just ask! ”

"Yes!" Kinoshita Hideyoshi hurriedly responded.

Nodding, Oda Nobunaga stood up and left directly with someone. From beginning to end, Ashikaga Yoshiaki didn't say half a word. But apparently, his attitude has become indifferent to Oda Nobunaga. After being awakened by Oda Yoshinobu, Oda Nobunaga instantly changed his attitude towards the general. A puppet that doesn't need to see the light, why do you have so much to pack?

Leaving Ashikaga Yoshiaki's mansion, Oda Nobunaga turned to Akechi Mitsuhide and said, "Mitsuhide, the connection with the imperial court will be handed over to you." I hope that the court's attitude towards my family is friendly. ”

"Yes!"

Completely control the shogunate and make good friends with the imperial court, so that the righteousness of the world will naturally be controlled by Oda Nobunaga. And this is what Oda Nobunaga needs, and it is the only place where the imperial court and the shogunate are needed.

Oda Nobunaga led the crowd away, leaving Ashikaga Yoshiaki and the others alone in the house sitting there stupidly, as if they had not yet come out of the shock just now.

After a long while, Ashikaga Yoshiaki suddenly overturned the case in front of him, stood up and shouted angrily, "Traitor! Oda Nobunaga, what are you trying to do?! Rebellion? Or does he want to be a general?! I'm the general! Why could he limit me so much?! ”

"Not bad! This thief is so rude! Be sure to crusade against him! The shogun, who had been frightened by Oda Yoshinobu before, jumped out again, and judging from his distorted expression, it was obvious that he had a great hatred for the Oda family, especially Oda Yoshinobu.

Subsequently, several shoguns jumped out and echoed the words, they were all shoguns promoted after the opening of Ashikaga Yoshiaki, and almost all of them were nobles. By the way, the samurai who took refuge in Omi such as Wada Yumasa have gradually been snubbed by Ashikaga Yoshiaki.

Hosokawa Fujitaka and Wada Yumasa sat silently on the sidelines, watching all this coldly, glancing at each other from time to time, their eyes full of helplessness. Although neither of them expected Oda Nobunaga to react so strongly and extremely, they also expected that Ashikaga Yoshiaki's distribution of the imperial book would cause Oda Nobunaga's dissatisfaction.

It's just a pity that they couldn't listen to how they persuaded Ashikaga Yoshiaki at the beginning, and finally caused Oda Nobunaga and Ashikaga Yoshiaki to completely tear their faces. It is conceivable that from now on, the shogunate will be completely turned into a puppet of Oda Nobunaga. Moreover, I am afraid that there will never be a day to turn over again.

At this moment, Ashikaga Yoshiaki's angry voice came, "Fujitaka! Only Politics! What do you two think?! ”

Hearing this, Hosokawa Fujitaka said lightly, "The subordinates understand the anger of His Royal Highness the General, but they should be patient first." ”

"Patience?! You're making me patient?! I'm a general! His Royal Highness the Shogun, second only to His Majesty the Emperor! You're making me patient?! Patience Oda Nobunaga, that hillbilly is in my head?! Ashikaga Yoshiaki walked quickly in front of Hosokawa Fujitaka and roared at him.

The other side.

"Lord, the city defense has been taken over, and the maids and servants have also been replaced by the family." Wasuka Masakatsu said in a deep voice. Since Kinoshita Hideyoshi became the liaison officer in charge of the shogunate and the Oda family, Kinoshita Hideyoshi changed the names of Koroku Beesuka and his younger brother Koichiro Kinoshita. By the way, Koichiro Kinoshita changed his name to Hidecho Kinoshita.

"Very good, from today onwards, Changkang, Zhengsheng, the two of you take turns to be in charge of the city defense. If the general wants to visit the minister, let me know immediately! Kinoshita Hideyoshi said in a deep voice.

"Yes!"

"Xiuchang, you are responsible for recording all the words and deeds of the general, remember, you must not miss a word!" Kinoshita Hideyoshi ordered again.

"Yes!" After Kinoshita Hidecho finished speaking, he asked with some hesitation, "Brother, ...... do this?"

Before he finished speaking, Kinoshita Hideyoshi sternly interrupted Kinoshita Hidecho's words. "Xiuchang, you have to remember! We are where we are today because of the gift of the Lord! ”

"Yes!" Hearing this, Kinoshita Hidecho hurriedly replied again.

At night, after a day of racing with the shogunates, Ashikaga Yoshiaki returned to his mansion, but as soon as he entered the door, he found that all the maids beside him didn't know him.

"You...... Who are you?! Ashikaga Yoshiaki asked in alarm.

"The slave maid was sent by His Highness Oda to serve His Highness the General." The two maids said respectfully.

Hearing this, Ashikaga Yoshiaki suddenly remembered Oda Nobunaga's words in the morning, "This bastard! How fast you move?! Ashikaga Yoshiaki muttered through gritted teeth. However, he endured it in the end, after all, since the two were sent by Oda Nobunaga, no matter how unhappy Ashikaga Yoshiaki was, it would not help.

Kill them? Not to mention whether Oda Nobunaga will send four more maids over, and...... Whether Ashikaga Yoshiaki can beat these two maids is unknown.

The residence of Fujitaka Hosokawa.

"From now on, I'm afraid our situation will become more delicate. His Royal Highness the General has clearly become dissatisfied with us. Hosokawa Fujitaka said lightly.

"Humph! So what? A general who has no rights and can't see the situation clearly, how can he be dissatisfied? Wada Yumasa snorted coldly. He originally thought that after helping Ashikaga Yoshiaki succeed him as general, he would be able to let the Wada family ascend to heaven one step at a time, but he didn't expect it to end up like this.

"So what are you going to do in the future?" Hosokawa asked after taking a sip of his wine. Since Kamiroku, Hosokawa Fujitaka has come to enjoy drinking. Perhaps, only wine can make him less sorrowful.

"What else can I do?" Hetian Weizheng drank all the wine in the cup and said helplessly.

Seeing this, Hosokawa Fujitaka shook his head helplessly, although Wada Yumasa had a good relationship with him, but after all, he was just an ordinary samurai.

"Well, let's wait......" Hosokawa Fujitaka hesitated.

Hosokawa Fujitaka and Wada Yumasa and others remained silent, relying on Ashikaga Yoshiaki and many shoguns alone, they really couldn't think of any way to solve the current predicament. Well, it's actually not like I can't figure it out. Almost that night, Ashikaga Yoshiaki came up with the idea of distributing imperial books to the daimyo in various places, so that they could go to Rakuro to crusade against the Oda family, the rebel of the shogunate.

It's just that they didn't know how to send the letters. Because the next day, a shogunate wanted to leave Nijo Castle, but was blocked back.

Not released! If you can't get out, how can you contact other forces? Helpless, Ashikaga Yoshiaki could only endure it first and wait for the opportunity. (To be continued.) )
