The deep night is an end for the Miyoshi family, but it is far from the end for the Hattori security chief, and in the middle of the night, the third is standing alone in the devastated Nijo Imperial Palace with an umbrella, watching dozens of ninjas in their robes digging up corpses in the rain, and seeing the beautiful imperial palace a few hours ago turned into ruins.

"It's miserable! It's really miserable......" Hattori Baochang silently stared at the ninjas who placed the bodies of the dead in the puddle one by one, and sighed secretly: "It's cruel that I can't stand it, and the two-hundred-year-old foundation of the Muromachi Shogunate has been ruined in the hands of that fool who killed his brother and killed the king!" It's a shame. ”

The shogunate is over, this is the heart of every samurai after seeing the ruins of the scene, no matter how brilliant the Muromachi shogunate once was, it will end at the moment of Ashikaga Yoshiteru's death, no matter how much Ashikaga Yoshiaki has the ability to regain his prestige in the future, it will not be able to hide his notoriety of killing his brother and killing the king, his reputation is over, his descendants have lost their legitimacy, and he has lost the basic qualities that he should have to become a shogun.

It is true that when the Miyoshi family found out that the body in the Nijo Imperial Palace was missing early the next morning, everyone knew that they had been put on a hard beating, and Ashikaga Yoshiaki was furious, patting the tatami mats on the bed for a long time, and finally couldn't hold back the symptoms of cold, wind evil, fever and headache, except for lying on the bed and coughing, there was no way at all.

Matsunaga Shu also fell ill, he was more dedicated than the three of Miyoshi, and he didn't choose to hide in the heavy rain, so he enjoyed the treatment of Ashikaga Yoshiaki with the same illness, which was originally a good opportunity to get close to Ashikaga Yoshiaki. However, his son Song Yongtong stabbed Da Louzi. Need to directly bear the notoriety of "assassinating" generals. The terrible situation made it difficult for him to rest in bed.

At the same time, the tragedy of the Nijo Imperial Palace finally spread, and Hattori Baocho used a well-developed intelligence network to quickly spread the news that Ashikaga Yoshiaki led his army to attack Nijo Imperial in an attempt to usurp the position of general and personally forced his brother Ashikaga Yoshiteru to death, and watched his mother commit suicide in Keisuin.

Even better, this is not a rumor, but a real fact, Ashikaga Yoshiteru and his mother Keijuin, and his side chamber attendants. As well as the corpses of hundreds of retainers and other members of the spectrum, all of them were buried in the light source courtyard of the tower head of Xiangguoji Temple in Kyoto, and the abbot of Xiangguo Temple personally went to the light source temple to do a water and land puja for the dead general Zhengyi, which further corroborated the authenticity of this event.

When the dizzy Miyoshi family realized that the situation was wrong and was ready to refute the rumors, Emperor Masakincho of Kyoto Ouchi issued an edict to comfort the poor Ashikaga Yoshiteru and his widow Konoe Kenko.

Probably based on the cold hearts of the lips and teeth, the opinions of the ministers of Kyoto this time were surprisingly united, even the political enemy Nijo Harura, who Konoe had long ago, did not choose to give him eye medicine at this time, after all, the benefits that the shogunate has brought to the imperial court in the past twenty years are innumerable. Emperor Shokincho did not have to learn from his father, and Emperor Nara sold words to support his family, and he did not have to sell fresh vegetables from his own vegetable fields all over the streets. On the one hand, the life is comfortable and comfortable, and more importantly, the dignity of the ministers has finally been preserved.

Men and women from all walks of life in Kyoto, ministers, samurai, monks, and cultural people who had received the great favor of the shogunate spontaneously came to the light source temple to hang the shogun. ”

Ashikaga Yoshiki received the ring name of the light source temple Rongshan Michien, and this ring name was regarded as a less than perfect end to his life.

In the process of mourning, there are more and more samurai from all directions, and it is inevitable that there will be people who will sarcastically mock Ashikaga Yoshiaki's evil deeds inside and outside, and he can only let it go and dare not have the slightest countermeasure, he is more concerned about straightening out the current chaos and ending the "commotion" caused by the accident of the Nijo Imperial Palace as soon as possible.

This "commotion" is called the Great Rebellion of Eiroku, which is not at all like Ashikaga Yoshiaki said lightly, and where can he cover up such a big thing as Ashikaga Yoshiaki's killing, with the death of the main shogun in the Nijo Imperial Palace, the situation in Kyoto immediately became confusing.

After all, this is not the Cargill Rebellion more than 120 years ago, the Muromachi shogunate in the Ashikaga Yoshikyo era was extremely powerful, and even if the shogun died, there were still three leaders who joined forces to elect the son-in-law of Ashikaga Yoshikyo as the shogun, and even a small episode like Tsuchiichi could not change the fact that the shogunate was still as stable as Mount Tai.

More than 100 years ago, after all, it was an old thing, and after experiencing the Onin Rebellion, the Meijin Coup, the Battle of Funaokama, and the embarrassment of the two unifications of Gangshu Taiki and Sakai Taiki, the shogun kept changing like a marquee, from the shogun's forced recovery of the water spilled out by the shogun, to the abolition of the shogun for his own selfishness, all of which showed that the shogunate was declining at the speed of a meteor.

An important sign of the decline of the shogunate was that the control of the local domains was greatly weakened, and many of the lords had never appointed guardians since the end of the Onin Rebellion, and the vacancy of the guards for eighty or ninety years meant that the Xudu Domain lacked the legitimate and legitimate authority of the Xudu Domain, and it was difficult to reproduce the smooth scene of several leaders who had discussed with the important ministers of the shogunate and a few powerful guardians.

Suddenly, the people of Kyoto found out that the shogun had a difficult birth, not because the shogunate could not find a suitable heir, but because this suitable heir had just participated in the vicious murder of his brother, and people could not accept a shogun with serious moral flaws, let alone the samurai of the world who could not feel at ease, let alone the attitude of the giant dragon in Kanto.

In the face of this unfavorable situation, Ashikaga Yoshiaki felt very anxious, and the original plan was that Ashikaga Yoshiaki took the initiative to recognize him as his adopted son, and then Shunshun took over as the general and sent his brother to the temple to "live in seclusion", but he didn't want to make such a big evil thing that made people miserable, but things still had to be done, and he hurriedly found the imperial court to apply for the general of Zhengyi when he recovered from his serious illness.

As Guan Bai, Konoe did not hesitate to refuse his request for a long time, on the grounds that the imperial court could not accept him, the new general who killed his brother and killed the king, not to mention that the general of Zhengyi could not give it. Even the left horse's head could not be given to him. This was a slap in the face of Ashikaga Yoshiaki in front of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces. made him immediately remember that his sister-in-law was the daughter of the Konoe family, and the bastard Konoe Maehisa married the sister of Ashikaga Yoshitoki, and hated the house and Wu so he hated him.

Konoe didn't give face for a long time, so he tried to find a way to get rid of this Sekihaku, so Ashikaga Yoshiaki found Nijo Harura to tell him his plan, Nijo Harura had long wanted to regain Sekihaku's position, so the two hit it off and made trouble at the imperial court and Kyoto, and Ashikaga Yoshiaki surrounded the Konoe Imperial Palace. He was slandered for harboring the murderer of the general, and forcibly demanded that he take people.

They killed Ashikaga Yoshiteru themselves, and then the thieves shouted to catch the thief's bloody slander, of course, they couldn't catch any of the criminals, a large group of samurai Dai Ra in a large circle in the Konoe Imperial Palace did not catch anyone, but did not forget to take advantage of the situation to loot the gold, silver and jewelry of the Konoe family as a "arrow" to pay, this "arrow" is enough as 20,000 yuan, which is the Ashikaga Yoshitoki over the years and the profits of the Konoe family's trading house, so it was looted by a group of rude samurai.

Konoe trembled for a long time, never expecting Ashikaga Yoshiaki to be so vicious. What's worse is that his father, Konoe Minoru, became angry and suffered a stroke when this gang of thugs broke into the house to collect gold, silver and jewelry as "arrows". After spending three difficult nights at home or dying, this is more than a blood debt and is recorded in Ashikaga Yoshiaki's body.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki had already decided to clean up the relationship left by his brother Ashikaga Yoshiteru, so he didn't care how much the Konoe family had with him, so he took advantage of the opportunity of Konoe's family to mourn at his house, and united with Nijo Harura to discuss the shogunate's slander of the shogunate, and forced Konoe Maehisa, who was guarding filial piety at home, to resign from the post of Minister of Sekihaku, and Nijo Harura also took advantage of the situation to serve as Sekihaku again.

Then Ashikaga Yoshiaki abandoned his name on the grounds that the word "autumn" was inauspicious, and Nijo Harura personally presided over the Motofu ceremony, officially changed his name to Ashikaga Yoshiaki, and invited Asakura Yoshikei to serve as a combing and crowning officer, officially indicating his ambition to succeed to the throne of the shogun, when he completed this complicated set of procedures, it was already the end of June, and at this time the public opinion in Kyoto became more and more unfavorable to Ashikaga Yoshiaki.

Public opinion in Kinai, from the secretary of the imperial court to the common people of Dawn, all believed that it was Ashikaga Yoshiaki who killed his brother, and this public opinion atmosphere quickly spread to the world, which was very unfavorable to Ashikaga Yoshiaki, who was about to ascend the throne, and in this process, the Miyoshi family played a very bad influence.

Even in this case, the Miyoshi family dared to bully and dominate the market in Kyoto and wantonly disrupt the business order, extort and extort wealthy merchants at will, and even rob the merchants in Kyoto, like a group of bandits and thieves in Kyoto, all of which played a crucial role in Ashikaga Yoshiaki's reputation.

In the final analysis, this is still the civil strife set off by the high-level of the Miyoshi family, and the turmoil that affected the entire class made several important ministers of the Miyoshi family have no time to restrain the lawless low-level samurai.

The offensive and defensive alliance of the three people and Matsunaga Hide,It's because of who is responsible for the great rebellion of Yongroku.,At first glance, this is a very strange nonsense.,In fact, both sides found that things were too big to clean up.,There must always be a murderer to kill the general.,Akamatsu Manyu wasn't because he killed Ashikaga Yoshikyo.,He was killed alive by a group of wolf-like daimyo.。

Both sides feel that they are not very responsible, and the three of them said that I don't know anything at all, don't count my guilt, Matsunaga is full of wrongs, the general committed suicide, he didn't even touch it, and it makes no sense to blame him, as for his son Matsunaga's guilt, he also pushed it clean.

So the situation became even more bizarre, both sides said that they were right, that there must be someone responsible for Yongroku's great rebellion, and Ashikaga Yoshiaki would not admit that he killed his brother and mother, so what should I do? Only snort! Whoever has the big fist is justified, and whoever is the loser is the one who bears the blame, it's as simple as that.

Obviously, the three people with the advantage of the army are stronger, even if they are attacked by the Akechi Mitsuhide department and suffer heavy losses, they still hold an absolute dominant position, and more importantly, the Tanba people who heard the wind at this moment set off a new round of rebellion, Naito Sokatsu took the Tanba people back to their hometown to guard the old nest, and the people of Yamato have not been very honest, and Tsutsui Shunkei launched several attacks on Shinki Mountain Castle and also made Matsunaga Hide's full strength.

More importantly, the family governor Miyoshi Yoshitsugu was not optimistic about Matsunaga Hide, and preferred the three Miyoshi trio of the same clan and clan, so Matsunaga Hide's father and son were gradually excluded from Ashikaga Yoshiaki's circle. Giving advice, suffering, and being busy for a long time. Thinking that he was the first to do something, he could become a major minister of the shogunate from now on. It's not a dream to enjoy your old age with glory and wealth at your fingertips, but you don't want it to come to an end, and the three of you who are most despised by yourself are put together, and Matsunaga Xiu even has the heart to die.

Miyoshi Nagaitsu successfully persuaded Ashikaga Yoshiaki and asked him to contact Nijo Harura to apply for a decree from the shogunate to rule the enemy, and to point out Matsunaga Shu and Matsunaga Tong father and son as the "culprits" of Eiroku Taireo, and it was he who planned Kamiraku, he was the one who attacked the Nijo Imperial Palace, he was the one who killed the shogun, and he was the one who was ready to hold Ashikaga Yoshiaki hostage to order the world's heroes.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki was kept in the dark from beginning to end. The three of Miyoshi were played by his conspiracy and tricks, and Miyoshi Yoshitsugu was fooled by him, in short, the Miyoshi family was clean from top to bottom, and the bad was in Matsu Naga Xiu, Matsu Naga Tong, the father and son, including Miyoshi Yixing, Anzhai Dongkang, and the death of Miyoshi Changqing were all planned by him, and Miyoshi Yoshixian's reluctance to retreat was also bewitched by Matsu Naga Xiu, and the decline of the Miyoshi family was his fault.

Anyway, the framing and opening of the mouth will come regardless of the cost, and the general direction is generally to go to the path of how to arrange how bad the pine permanent show, and it didn't take a few days for several versions to evolve, and it was basically that the bottom of the foot of the pine permanent show was pus and sores on the top of the head. From the day his mother gave birth to her, he was disgusted and wanted to throw him into a stinking ditch and drown, and the reason why he survived was because of the adoption of the abbot of the monastery. When he grew up, he burned down the temple with a fire.

Defected to the Miyoshi family to betray his colleagues and frame his boss all the way to the top, and finally became the son-in-law of Miyoshi Changqing with his ghost tricks, and began to extend his claws to the entire Kinai to do evil wantonly, killing the two generations of the Miyoshi family, and the two family governors were not enough, this time he aimed at the innocent shogunate officials, poisoned Ashikaga Yoshiqin and assassinated Ashikaga Yoshiki, all of which he planned and executed, and he did this in the hope that one day he would be the leader of the clouds.

The grade of this rumor is not high and lacks connotation, and the discerning person will soon find many flaws from the rumors, but he can't stand the gossip psychology that public opinion in Jinai likes to see about the sensational event, and he took the initiative to cooperate with the Hattori ninja to draw a bad image of Miyoshi Changqing, of course, this time will not let go of an opportunity to smear Matsu Yongxiu, the working public needs the spirit of entertainment, and the more the palace secrets, the more fresh and curious they feel, so the messy folk rumors quietly spread.

Konoe Maehisa simply closed his door on the grounds of mourning, and only kept the false name of an insider given by the imperial court to rest at home, which was the result of the resolute obstruction of Emperor Masakinmachi, and Ashikaga Yoshitoki's uncle Masasa, the two ministers of the Interior, was also forced to resign from his official position, and within a few days, he left Kyoto with more than 100 relatives and went to Kanto.

Konoe was busy taking care of his father's later life for a long time and did not leave, and the ministers of the faction when he was in the hands of Riyoshi were hit hard, and most of the ministers were either forcibly dormant or resigned on their own initiative, and those who resolutely did not dismiss found a reason to dismiss, such as Konoe Maehisa's brother Kudai Nayan, the right Konoe general, and the elder of the Genji family, Kuga Toriken, was framed by Nijo Hararashi as an internal servant, and forced the emperor to issue an investigation order, take away all the reputation of Kuga Tongjian, and posthumously release him from Kyoto.

For a time, the wind and rain in Kyoto were stirred up and down, and the court complained about it, among which the emperor of Masakincho was particularly dissatisfied, and the good Kyoto was killed by the Miyoshi family, a group of samurai from the four countries, and the city was full of wind and rain, and Ashikaga Yoshiaki, who was good to the court, was killed, and replaced by Ashikaga Yoshiaki, who thought he was very bullish, and deposed a number of high-ranking ministers one after another in just over a month, and simply didn't treat the court as a person.

Emperor Masamicho believed that the first culprit in Kyoto was the Miyoshi family, and there would be no Ashikaga Yoshiaki without this clan messing around in Kyoto, and secondly, the political alliance between Ashikaga Yoshiaki and Nijo Harora was very excessive.

For this reason, Emperor Shokincho was determined to do something, and after conferring the official position of Ashikaga Yoshiaki with the title of left horse head, he proposed to him that it was necessary to calm the troubles in Kyoto as soon as possible, especially the Miyoshi family, which stirred up the wind and rain, but Ashikaga Yoshiaki did not care much at first, and the emperor's opinion was worthless in the eyes of the shogun, but the dissatisfaction of his political ally Nijo Hararashi could not be ignored.

Nijo Harura is also gradually dissatisfied with the current chaos in Kyoto, and it is not enough to let the governor of the dignified five families and a group of mud-legged people from Shikoku come to the same palace as ministers, and he has to change glasses with Miyoshi and the three of them to talk about wine, and spread the word that his face is about to be ruined.

At first, he acquiesced to the Miyoshi family in Kyoto, and that was also to take the opportunity to use military deterrence to force the imperial court to comply, otherwise where would it be so easy for Konoe to go to work and live in seclusion, and he lost his position in the last years of astronomy, because he lacked the support of military power, and he learned from the pain that the antecedents of the Miyoshi family rebellion were acquiesced.

Now that the purge in the imperial court has come to an end, it is logical to promote the courtiers and ministers close to the Kujo family, and the son-in-law Kujo Kantaka has been promoted to the two great Nayan and the left guard general, completing the step-by-step power infiltration from top to bottom, and there is no longer a need for the Miyoshi family to continue to cause trouble in Kyoto, when the court gradually transmits this voice to Ashikaga Yoshiaki, it forces him to seriously consider how to deal with the Miyoshi family in the civil strife.

In fact, Ashikaga Yoshiaki gradually couldn't stand the arrogance of the three good three, and more importantly, he sympathized with Matsunaga Hide, and even the notoriety he carried for killing his brother and killing the monarch was also Matsunaga Hide's takeover of the black pot, and it was rumored that Matsunaga Hide planned and implemented a series of events to kill the general on the mountain, which happened to reduce the pressure on Ashikaga Yoshiaki's back a lot of bad influences, and a short respite, although he has been held hostage and controlled by the three people of Miyoshi these days, but in the bottom of his heart, he is still somewhat grateful to this black pot expert.
