When he heard the news about Ashikaga Yoshiaki from Hosokawa Fujitaka, Akechi Mitsuhide was shocked that he had reacted so blandly, as if what Hosokawa Fujitaka said was just a stranger who had nothing to do with Akechi Mitsuhide. But in fact, not long ago, Akechi Mitsuhide was bent on helping Ashikaga Yoshiaki regain the prestige of the shogunate.

"Hehe, maybe it's because the general is too kind to me? Or maybe I'm a ruthless and unrighteous cold-blooded person. Akechi Mitsuhide laughed at herself.

On the other hand, after complaining to Akechi Mitsuhide, Hosokawa Fujitaka also returned to his mansion drunk. This time he came to Akechi Mitsuhide, and he didn't want to get any help from Akechi Mitsuhide at all. It's just that he really has a stomach full of complaints and wants to vent, and among the people he knows, Akechi Mitsuhide is the one he trusts the most. After all, everything he said was forbidden.

Hosokawa Fujitaka trusts Akechi Mitsuhide so much, naturally it can't be just because Akechi Mitsuhide has a good chat with him, and he seems to be very righteous. The reason why this is so is because Akechi Mitsuhide and him are in-laws. When he was still in the Asakura family, Hosokawa Fujitaka proposed to let his eldest son, Kumachiyo, and Akatsuhide's eldest daughter Tamako marry because he was very close to Akechi Mitsuhide. Hawkers,That's the so-called doll kiss.。

At that time, Hosokawa Fujitaka was only because he felt that Akechi Mitsuhide was a rare talent, and once Ashikaga Yoshiaki became a shogun, he must have been one of the important ministers of the shogunate. Marriage with Akechi Mitsuhide, who is in the stage of decline, can not only gain a talent for the shogunate, but also gain its friendship.

It's a pity that Hosokawa Fujitaka never thought that Ashikaga Yoshiaki would directly send Akechi Mitsuhide to the Oda family in order to curry favor with Oda Nobunaga. Obviously, this kind of thing is an unforgettable shame for a samurai with a modicum of self-esteem. At the same time, he didn't expect that His Royal Highness the General, who he wanted to support, seemed to have no brains at all......

When I woke up, I looked at the bright sky outside, and my head still had a splitting headache. But you still have to start the day, don't you?

To be honest, Hosokawa Fujitaka felt that he had made it clear enough to Ashikaga Yoshiaki yesterday, with the current strength of the shogunate, how could it be possible to bypass Oda Nobunaga and issue a separate local guard? In his opinion, Ashikaga Yoshiaki may have just not figured it out for a while, and now he will definitely understand that now is not the time for him to really act as a general.

However, it is obvious that Hosokawa Fujitaka underestimated the willfulness of Ashikaga Yoshiaki too much. After seeing that all the shoguns did not agree with his decision, Ashikaga Yoshiaki simply stopped talking to them, directly wrote the appointment letter, and sent someone to send it to them. Not only that, Ashikaga Yoshiaki also made this matter clear to the imperial court by the way, and the imperial court issued a decree to inform the world.

In this regard, the imperial court naturally did not refuse, and this was the first time that the shogunate was willing to inform the imperial court of the appointment and dismissal of personnel. Although Ashikaga Yoshiaki has not consulted with the imperial court in terms of candidates, this is an improvement, isn't it? Ha? What did the Oda family think?

Well, how do you say it? At the same time as the imperial court's will was issued, Yamashina Yanji directly found Kinoshita Hideyoshi and Akechi Mitsuhide, directly stating that this matter was strongly requested by Ashikaga Yoshiaki General to do so, and his appointment was also a shogunate service, and it was really inconvenient for the imperial court to ask.

Tsk, is it really good to sell Ashikaga Yoshiaki directly like this? But where would the imperial court care? Anyway, the purpose of the imperial court has been achieved, and in this incident, he showed his face a little, so that the world's daimyo and commoners listened to the voice of the imperial court again. As for Ashikaga Yoshiaki? Hawkers, Ashikaga Yoshiki was stabbed before, isn't there nothing wrong?

"Hosokawa-sama! His Royal Highness the General is really too nonsense! This...... Alas...... What a good thing to be now! Hosokawa Fujitaka looked at the appointment letter in his hand and was angry and helpless, he couldn't have imagined that Ashikaga Yoshiaki would play such a hand.

At this moment, Akechi Mitsuhide hurriedly walked in, "Hosokawa-sama, look at this!" Akechi Mitsuhide said, and handed the notice in his hand to Hosokawa Fujitaka.

"Nonsense! It's nonsense! Hosokawa Fujitaka glanced at it and was immediately furious, he never thought that Ashikaga Yoshiaki not only sent an appointment notice through the imperial court. Well, it's okay to be so insistent, he even added several guards. The guardian of Kawachi changed from Takamasa Tayama to two of him, and Yoshitsuji Miyoshi, while Matsunaga Hideshi was appointed as the guardian of Yamato.

To be honest, when Hosokawa Fujitaka saw this, he almost fainted. Who are Yoshitsugu Miyoshi and Hidehide Matsunaga? Well, let's not mention the feud between the Ashikaga Yoshiki era and the shogun's family, just now, these two people have already surrendered to Oda Nobunaga, and they are real retainers of the Oda family!

Without saying hello to Oda Nobunaga, he directly appointed his retainers as guardians...... Is this looking for something? Hosokawa Fujitaka didn't know, but he knew that when Oda Nobunaga learned about it, the shogun's family would inevitably be unlucky. It's just that......

"Hehe, what else can I do?" Hosokawa Fujitaka smiled bitterly. Yes, he couldn't do anything, because this matter was sent by Ashikaga Yoshiaki through the imperial court, and there was no possibility of change at all.

"Hosokawa-sama, if you say something that shouldn't be said, if His Royal Highness the General does this, it will ...... sooner or later" Akechi Mitsuhide wanted to say something, but was stopped by Hosokawa Fujitaka before he finished speaking.

"Wise Lord, I know what you want to say, but I am deeply trusted by Yoshiki Gong in Xia, not to mention ......" Hosokawa Fujitaka said in general, but in the end he couldn't say any more. Because, Ashikaga Yoshiaki was the candidate, but he chose it himself.

Ashikaga Yoshiki only has one brother like Ashikaga Yoshiaki, which is the reason why Hosokawa Fujitaka chose him, but in fact, there are not too many people who are qualified to inherit the general of Seiyi. Look at the death of Ashikaga Yoshiteru, the three of Miyoshi immediately took out an Ashikaga Yoshiei to know.

Therefore, there is only one reason why Hosokawa Fujitaka really chose Ashikaga Yoshiaki, and among all the candidates, only Ashikaga Yoshiaki is truly helpless. Just like now, Ashikaga Yoshiaki will almost ask Hosokawa Fujitaka's opinion on everything, which is why Hosokawa Fujitaka chose Ashikaga Yoshiaki.

Although the person he chooses has to persevere to the end while kneeling, a pig teammate like Ashikaga Yoshiaki really makes Hosokawa Fujitaka feel Alexander.

At this moment, Kinoshita Hideyoshi also came.

"Akechi-sama is also here, so Hosokawa-sama, I believe you also know what His Highness the General has done." Kinoshita Hideyoshi said in a deep voice.

"Well, is Kinoshita-sama preparing to report to His Highness Oda?" Hosokawa Fujitaka asked with a sigh.

"Ha, where the responsibility lies, not to mention that even if you don't say it, the lord will know in a few days." Kinoshita Hideyoshi scoffed. Ashikaga Yoshiaki's behavior completely refreshed his perception of fools.

"Haha, that's what you said......" Hosokawa Fujitaka smiled bitterly when he heard this.

"Hosokawa-sama, when I came here this time, I actually had one thing to persuade you." Seeing this, Kinoshita Hideyoshi said again.

But after listening to Kinoshita Hideyoshi's words, Akechi Mitsuhide and Hosokawa Fujitaka laughed at the same time, seeing this, Kinoshita Hideyoshi suddenly looked at Akechi Mitsuhide in surprise, "What?" Wise Lord, you have already persuaded you? ”

"Haha~" Hearing this, the two laughed again, and then Hosokawa Fujitaka smiled, "Yes, just now, Lord Wise has already persuaded me." However, in my opinion, His Highness is just confused for a while this time, and he will definitely not do it again in the future. ”

Well, while refusing Kinoshita Hideyoshi, Hosokawa Fujitaka helped Ashikaga Yoshiaki explain by the way. Although he knew that it would not be useful to do so, as a retainer, there was only so much he could do.

Hearing this, Kinoshita Hideyoshi had no choice but to give up, "I see, but Hosokawa-sama, if you want to change the environment in the future, I believe that the scenery of this house is very good." ”

"With the two of you here, the scenery is naturally very wonderful~" Hosokawa Fujitaka smiled, although the smile was still full of bitterness, but compared to just now, he had already thought about it a lot.

Sure enough, as Hosokawa Fujitaka expected, when Oda Nobunaga learned that Ashikaga Yoshiaki had appointed a guard privately, he was furious and rushed to Kyoto directly.

"Your Highness General, when you want to enforce the rights of the general in the future, please send someone to consult with Your Highness. It's going to be very embarrassing...... Oda Nobunaga said lightly. Although the tone was flat, everyone could hear the anger in the words.

But Ashikaga Yoshiaki didn't know if he really didn't hear it, or he was even more angry when he heard it, only to see him stand up and scream, "Nobunaga! As a shogun, don't I even have the right to appoint and dismiss the shogunate?! ”

It's a pity that Oda Nobunaga didn't answer his question, but just said lightly, "Please also remember that if you continue to be so willful, it will be harmful to your Highness the General......

After speaking, he ignored Ashikaga Yoshiaki, whose face was extremely ugly, and got up and left directly.

"Weaving ...... Field...... Letter...... ...... long "Ashikaga Yoshiaki gritted his teeth and read Oda Nobunaga's name, it seemed that the honeymoon period between the newly appointed general and the new overlord of had ended.
