Kyoto, June.

With the arrival of summer, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, but even so, a large number of people from all over the world are rushing to Kyoto. The so-called is to see Ashikaga Yoshiaki's death sentence with his own eyes. You must know that this is the death penalty of the general Zhengyi, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is rare to see in a hundred years.

Among them, there are many samurai, and some of them are there to see the end of the old era and the beginning of the new era. Some, however, were saddened and helpless by the demise of the Ashikaga Yoshikawa Muromachi shogunate.

"Your Royal Highness the General, I'm really sorry, although I persuaded you, it's a pity that the lord can't listen to it at all......" Akechi Mitsuhide bowed in front of Ashikaga Yoshiaki and sighed helplessly. Next to him is Hosokawa Fujitaka with a complicated expression.

These two people are undoubtedly the people most closely related to Ashikaga Yoshiaki. One, from a small novice to a general, and the other, helped Ashikaga Yoshiaki achieve his dream of Kamiro.

Looking at the two of them, Ashikaga Yoshiaki, who had been silent and expressionless since arriving in Kyoto, finally changed, "Mitsuhide, Fujitaka ...... You don't have to, it's just my own doing......" Ashikaga Yoshiaki sighed softly.

"If I had heeded your persuasion and chosen to forbear, then even if Oda Nobunaga still ruled the world, he would not have become as powerful as he is now, and the shogunate would not have died because of me. Sinners...... From this point of view, I am indeed an unforgivable sinner......" Ashikaga Yoshiaki shook his head as he looked at the two and sighed softly.

"His Royal Highness the General......" Looking at Ashikaga Yoshiaki's appearance, Akechi Mitsuhide and Hosokawa Fujitaka suddenly had mixed feelings in their hearts. Once upon a time, they were willing to give everything they had for the shogunate, and they have been working hard for the revival of the shogunate. It's just that as Ashikaga Yoshiaki disappointed them again and again, they finally left Ashikaga Yoshiaki and completely threw themselves into the arms of the Oda family.

And now, the Ashikaga Yoshiaki they wanted to see finally appeared, but not before he was about to die. For a long time, Akechi Mitsuhide didn't say a word, because in the face of such Ashikaga Yoshiaki, they didn't know what to say.

Console? What is the effect of consolation for a dying person? Speaking of which, Akechi Mitsuhide and Hosokawa Fujitaka did not run to persuade Oda Nobunaga, hoping that he would change his mind and bypass Ashikaga Yoshiaki's life. Yes, they lied.

It's not because they don't dare to oppose Oda Nobunaga now, but because this matter has already been announced to the world, and it is jointly declared by the Oda family and the emperor. Is it possible to cancel at such times? Apparently impossible.

However, Ashikaga Yoshiaki didn't seem to care about the silence of the two Akechi Mitsuhide, he just kept talking, talking about the wrong things he had done, talking about what if, and talking about things that even Akechi Mitsuhide didn't know.

"Speaking of which, the people I'm most sorry for right now are probably Aiko and Tsurumaru...... Aiko is the inner prince, but since marrying me, he has not had a good life. And Tsurumaru, I, as a father, have hardly ever given him anything. Ashikaga Yoshiaki sighed and said, suddenly looking up at the two of Akechi Mitsuhide, who had been silent, "Do you have any news of their beloved sons?" ”

"Prince Aikonai has been admitted to the Emperor's Imperial Palace a long time ago, and it seems that he was taken away by Lord Koshuji." Wise Mitsuhide responded by saying that as the former guardian of Kyoto, he knew more or less about something.

"Really?" Ashikaga Yoshiaki seemed relieved when he heard this, "That's the best, but I still want to ask the two of you, if possible, please help me take care of their mother and son." Also, if Tsurumaru grows up in the future, tell him not to become a samurai......" At the end, Ashikaga Yoshiaki's expression was full of pleading, a look that he had hardly shown a few times in his life.

"Please rest assured, Your Highness the General! I will protect their mother and son even if we die!" Wise Guangxiu and the two hurriedly responded when they heard this.

After a while, the two left Nijo Castle, where Ashikaga Yoshiaki was located. The reason why he chose to put Ashikaga Yoshiaki in Nijo Castle was to guard him on the one hand, and on the other hand, it could be regarded as giving him his last dignity. After all, even if he had to be executed, he would still be a general after all. In fact, in addition to not being able to leave the city and being guarded everywhere he went, Ashikaga Yoshiaki was still very free to move.

"Alas...... This kind of mood is really complicated......" Standing at the city gate, looking at the scenery in the distance, Hosokawa Fujitaka suddenly sighed.

"Yes, when I went to Echizen with His Royal Highness the General, how could I have imagined that it would be the scene I am today?" Akechi Mitsuhide chimed in.

"But...... After all, in a few days, everything will be over, and the world will return to peace, and we will continue to work hard for this hard-won peace. Hosokawa Fujitaka said in a deep voice.

"Haha, that's what I said." Wise Mitsuhide laughed when he heard this.

Although it is very sad that Ashikaga Yoshiaki is about to be executed, it is obvious that neither Akechi Mitsuhide nor Hosokawa Fujitaka is the person who could give everything for the shogunate in the past. Under the command of Oda Nobunaga, Akechi Mitsuhide and Hosokawa Fujitaka were finally able to reflect their own value, and the so-called Shi died for his confidant, obviously, compared to Ashikaga Yoshiaki's ruthlessness and unrighteousness in the past, Oda Nobunaga was the Ming Jun in their hearts.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, the day of the execution has arrived. By the time Oda Nobunaga and Oda Yoshinobu arrived in Kyoto, it was already crowded. And Ashikaga Yoshiaki was also pressed to the largest square in Kyoto early. All around, the troops led by Pingshou Fanxiu and others helped isolate the crowd. And around Ashikaga Yoshiaki, there are more than a dozen ninjas lurking with the three husbands of Hyakchi and the companion Nagasobu.

Although I don't believe that anyone dares to take risks, the significance of executing Ashikaga Yoshiaki is too great to allow for the slightest mistake.

"Anything else you'd like to say?" Standing beside Ashikaga Yoshiaki, Oda Nobunaga asked casually.

"Please also ask His Highness Oda to spare his wife and children......," Ashikaga Yoshiaki replied in a low voice.

"Don't worry." Oda Nobunaga nodded, killing Ashikaga Yoshiaki, the most important thing is the symbolism, extermination? There is no need at all.

"In this case, thank you to His Highness Oda......" Ashikaga Yoshiaki muttered, and then raised his eyes to look around, and he found that this place seemed to have changed a lot compared to when he first went to Luo.

"The auspicious time has come!"

A voice sounded, Oda Nobunaga glanced at Ashikaga Yoshiaki beside him, and slowly pulled out the sword, "Poof!" With a single sword, Ashikaga Yoshiaki's head fell into a wooden box.

"The old era of chaos is over! A new era of peace has arrived! Oda Nobunaga looked around, holding up his sword and shouting.
