Chapter 126: The Shogunate's Asking Price (1st Update)
"Greedy for the shogunate, love for money! Hahaha......" The series of laughter did not adversely affect Odate Harumitsu, as a senior diplomat, he was already ready to spit on his own, since he was a young child, he followed his father to follow Ashikaga Yoshinori and wandered abroad, experienced the wind and frost all over the world, and replaced his father Odate Naoji after the defeat and death of Hosokawa Takakuni, serving as a loyal elder of the shogunate's diplomatic affairs, and he was no longer surprised by this level of cynicism, just quietly waiting for Miyoshi Nagakei to make a decision.
In all fairness, he also felt that the price was set too high, but Odate Harumitsu had no choice, Kira Yoshitoki paid a huge price for the big victory, not only emptied Omi Sakamoto's taxes as a reward, but also paid out of his own pocket to fill the hole in the finances, Ashikaga Yoshitoki fought a joint war for the public side, and finally had to pay a reward out of his own pocket, which made the shogunate feel embarrassed by his actions.
Moreover, the shogunate recaptured Kyoto, Ashikaga Yoshito wanted to rebuild Nijo Castle, the emperor wanted to repair Ouchiri, the low-level ministers of the imperial court wanted to receive some money, and the imperial court always wanted to repair the dilapidated Kyoto, which required money everywhere, so the shogunate hit the idea on this, Ashikaga Yoshito and Kira Yoshitoki agreed that after the negotiation was completed, he would donate a sum of money to the shogunate and the imperial court, and the rest would be used to make up for the financial hole and the post-war reward.
It is precisely for this reason that the shogunate came up with an expedient measure to raise the price, in order to compensate Kira Yoshitomi and save a little more savings for the shogunate, so after this idea was proposed, no one would object to it, even the important ministers of the shogunate, who had always been high, and no one wanted to live a hard life again.
"Isn't it asking for money? Good! I'll give it to you! Miyoshi Nagakei happily agreed, and then his tone became much colder, "It can't be that Saemon Hall came just to ask for money, right?" Let's talk about any other questions. ”
"Yes! The shogunate hoped to exchange the body of His Highness Ten Rivers Ichizo and His Highness Miyoshi Nagayi for Katsuryuji Castle, and for the Miyoshi family to completely withdraw from the Yamashiro Province, and to guarantee that they would not invade the Yamashiro Province for ten years. When Harumitsu Odate threw out his proposal, his eyes were always fixed on Miyoshi Chokei's expression, and seeing that his face was a little gloomy, he secretly said a bad word in his heart, but he still insisted on saying, "There is also His Royal Highness the Prince's Royal Highness who hopes that Mitsuki can reach peace with the shogunate." ”
"Harmony? Harmony! Do you have to wait for my brother to die at your hands before you make peace with me? Hum! When did the shogunate change powers? Let me guess who! What about Hosokawa or Kira? What a question worth pondering! Miyoshi Changqing's face was blue and black, gloomy as if it could drip water, and he was holding a rosary in his hand, which frightened the retainers of the Miyoshi family and did not dare to move.
"His Highness Kira! One of the Princesses, the famous generals of the shogunate! Gee! What a great Highness, please take me to pay tribute to that Highness Kira, and pay tribute to the new general! Miyoshi Changqing picked up the teacup and greeted the Oitaki Qingguang.
Then he drank it slowly, the movement was very slow but it gave people a heavy sense of depression, when he gently put down the teacup, his eyes suddenly burst out with a strong murderous intent, and he roared in a very low voice: "I will not avenge my brother, and I will never make peace with the shogunate!" Let that Kira Sabei Hall wait, my Miyoshi family's army will soon enter, and we'll see you on the battlefield! ”
Daguan Qingguang hurriedly withdrew from the big wide room, and when he walked to the door, he found that his clothes had been wet with sweat, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and couldn't help sighing: "The power of Miyoshi Changqing is getting deeper, it was obviously not like this a few years ago, but I didn't expect it to be so terrible now!" It seems that His Highness Kira is in trouble......"
didn't dare to stay longer, so Odate Harumitsu left Akutagawa Mountain Castle with Miyoshi Chokei's decision.
At the same time as Odate Harumitsu left, several samurai pushed a dirty prisoner who was tied up by five flowers to Ohiroma, this person was the deacon of the shogunate government office Ise Sadataka who escaped from the battle, Miyoshi Nagakei looked coldly at Ise Sadataka who was like a lost dog, and said in an accentuated voice word by word: "Escape from the battle, see death and don't save you, collude with the shogunate, what do you say I should do with you." ”
"Your Highness Chikuzen! Bypass me! What I said is true! I didn't collude with the shogunate, I was loyal to His Highness! "Ise Sadataka was covered in mud and weeds, and spent several days in a hot and humid dungeon, and the stench emitted from his body made everyone cover their mouths and noses, and he looked like he had been doing very badly lately.
"If there is no collusion with the shogunate, why did you not lose a single soldier? Why were you able to claim Akutagawa Yamajo unharmed, while my brother died in Fushimiwara? You have to remember! You bought my brother's life for it! Today I want my brother's life back! Miyoshi Nagakei's voice let out a terrible roar like the collision of gold and stones, and everyone present knelt down and did not dare to raise their heads even a little, while Ise Sadataka was as white as paper, and his whole body trembled like chaff.
"Huh? It's the smell of urine! He was scared to pee! A retainer not far from Ise Sadataka whispered.
"What a shame! What's the point of living for a person like him! Another retainer said disdainfully.
Miyoshi Changqing picked up a silk handkerchief to cover his mouth fetish, and said with a disgusted face: "Hurry up and pull him down and behead him!" The head is hung on the Otemon! ”
"Yes!" Several samurai carry Sadataka Ise, who is limp as mud.
Ise Sadataka suddenly broke free from the samurai's grasp like crazy, and roared with a hideous face: "No! No! I'm the deacon of the shogunate! You can't do that to me! Three good Changqing! You rebel! I'm going to curse you even if I'm dead! Curse you, the three good families will eventually perish! You are good and Changqing has no children and grandchildren! Hahaha......"
"Bastard! Let me get to know you now, Ogasawara Narisuke! A young samurai quickly jumped up, drew the sword at his waist and was about to rush over to cut people, Miyoshi Changqing shouted: "Stop!" How can I be stained with blood in my vast room! Drag it out of the big hand and behead it again! ”
"Yes!" Ogasawara Seisuke retired, as if he was crazy and cursed incessantly.
Matsunaga Shu asked, "What should the Sanki country and the Shikawa family do?" ”
"Let's let Izuku's sister-in-law, Kuma Wangmaru, inherit the family name of the Shihe family! Ten Rivers Jingzi Hall served as the rear officer! Miyoshi Changqing thought for a while, and added: "As for Sanki Country, it will be handed over to Awa's Yoshiken to be in charge. ”
"Yes!"
"Everyone, let's disperse!" The ministers of the Miyoshi family got up one after another to leave, and after everyone left, Matsunaga Hide, who had not moved, said solemnly: "Why did the lord kill Ise Sadataka? I, Hisahide, can be sure that he did not collude with the shogunate. ”
"Of course the family knows that he didn't collude with the shogunate!" Miyoshi Changqing said flatly, but his eyes were always staring at Matsunaga Xiu, seeing him with just the right look of surprise, he said in a flat tone: "I just want to take his life, that's all!" ”
"If that's the case, it seems that my Jiuxiu still can't keep up with the master's thoughts!" Matsunaga said suddenly.
"Hehe, in front of my family, does Jiuxiu still have to behave like this?" Miyoshi Changqing didn't seem to be angry, but shook his head helplessly and said, "There must be a reason for Jiuxiu to stay, what else is going on?" ”
"It's still the hall that understands me Jiuxiu! It was a message from His Royal Highness Mikyu, hoping that the main hall would agree to make peace with the shogunate. Matsunaga respectfully handed over the letter, then stepped back and sat down again.
"Why did Mi Xiu's letter arrive at this time?" Miyoshi Changqing also had no intention of dwelling on the matter of Song Yongxiu's neglect of official duties, so he took out the mud seal and looked at it, his eyes narrowed into a line, "What does Jiuxiu think about this?" ”
"What the main hall thinks is exactly what I think about Jiuxiu! Jiuxiu still had something to do, so he quit. Matsunaga Shu slowly withdrew from Ohiroma.
"What a cunning fellow." Miyoshi Changqing held a piece of paper and threw it into the candle to burn it.
