The news of Ashikaga Yoshikin's death really can't be hidden, not to mention that there are insiders in Miyoshi's family who deliberately leak the situation to the outside world, and there is also information about the Izumo Akuni walk without knowing it, just say that Ashikaga Yoshikin's came to Katsuryuji Castle with great fanfare, and then disappeared so quietly and silently, even if the family cat and dog die, it will be distressing for a long time, not to mention the future general and the current Hirashima Gongfang.

I don't know if anyone has recognized the person who ran out to play when he just arrived at Katsuryuji Castle as Ashikaga Yoshikin, anyway, Miyoshi Yoshitsugu followed an unknown samurai out to play is bound to be seen, and going to the castle town to play is two living people walking, and coming back is a living person with a dead person back, and a little scrutiny can also find that something is wrong.

The news can't hide the consequences can be imagined how bad it is, Kyoto City about the Tokaichi City murder is the mystery of the truth, the truth here is so quickly revealed, Ashikaga Yoshiko is the unlucky ghost who was punished by the gods and Buddhas and died, and then people suddenly closed their mouths and didn't dare to laugh, because someone had already noticed that the situation was not good.

No matter how much people are panicked in Kyoto, at least it is not good for the Miyoshi family, just as Matsunaga Shu described several times that the arrow has to be sent on the string, or the arrow that has been left from the string has long been unable to be recovered, Kinai knows that most of these Miyoshi families are not doing things that are not done by people.

At that time, Hosokawa Masamoto, who was angry and coaxed, did something that was not human, and he was not happy for more than ten years and was affected by the dispute between the three adopted sons, and Hosokawa Sumiyuki, who was born as a minister, united several ministers to chop up his godfather, and some optimistic people in Kyoto said that Miyoshi Yoshitsugu may not know that he will have to be chopped up one day, and Miyoshi Yoshitsugu is very wronged and angry. For no reason, he blocked the arrows for the three of Miyoshi and Matsunaga Show. He was even less willing to take part in the muddy waters of Kyoto.

The retainers of the spectrum led by the Miyoshi Yasucho faction put on a posture of resolutely parting ways. Adding to the deep crisis of the decision of the Miyoshi three, Matsunaga Hide found that he had been busy for months and all the work was in vain, and only 15,000 people stood in the Miyoshi San's faction of 60,000 people, and all the neutrals and opposition all showed that they were unwilling to wade too deep, and they were still fighting alone inside and out.

Now it's the turn of the three of Miyoshi and Matsunaga to show that they are in a hurry, Ashikaga Yoshiko died without a shield, how can he go to Luo to abolish the general, and previously described this time as imminent, and it also means that they have no way out, and a few people discussed it and decided to make a workaround, and then steal the beam and change the pillar to get a general heir. Anyway, there are a few spare tires that can be used.

The first candidate is Ashikaga Yoshisuke's younger brother, Ashikaga Yoshisuke, who is very suitable to inherit his brother's position to move forward, but the current problem is that the power of rumors is too strong, and Ashikaga Yoshisuke, who has just returned to the Awataima Imperial Palace, is scared of weak legs, for fear that he will move his head in a daze like his brother in the past.

His brother died without leaving an heir, he just got married and had no heirs, and the third brother Ashikaga Yoshiren was young and didn't even marry his wife, in case he died so unexplained, the Awa Ashikaga family will face the crisis of extinction, and it is better to die than to live. Of course, he himself didn't want to die from the bottom of his heart.

As soon as he dies, he will have to give up the position of the prince of Tehira Island to his younger brother, and maybe he will give up the flower-like lady to his younger brother to enjoy in vain. He will cry to death in the yellow spring, Ashikaga Yoshisuke is reluctant to come, and he will not let his younger brother go to "send him to death", the reason is very simple, his father is sick in bed and must always serve left and right, and he does not dare to leave lightly, which means that he will ask Gao Mingshu not to be far away.

Resolutely do not cooperate and can't tie people over, not to mention how risky it is and how bad the impact is, just say that the territory of the three people of Miyoshi and Matsunaga Hide is all in the country, and the Hirashima Gongfang is the Hirashima Imperial Office of Awa Province, which is the core territory of Miyoshi Yoshiken's eldest son, Miyoshi Nagaji, and they go to arrest people, wouldn't it be a matter of giving people a handle, maybe they will be grabbed by the three brothers of Shikoku and grabbed the pigtails and swollen an old face.

After thinking about it, he decided to take a risk and take the two younger brothers of the shogunate, Ashikaga Yoshiki's two younger brothers, one of them practiced in the Yamato Kofukuji Temple, and the other was Zhou Wei, the head of the Deer Yuan Courtyard of Xiangguo Temple.

Liyan or Lishu, the three of Miyoshi and Matsunaga Xiu have a disagreement, and the opinion of the three of Miyoshi is to choose the deer garden of Kinkakuji Temple in the north of Kyoto, the reason is that the distance is close and easy to control, it is better than the far away in Yamato Kofukuji Kakukei, which is safer, anyway, it is a puppet and does not need to pay too much attention.

Matsunaga Xiu advocated that he should immediately establish a successor, and chose Jueqing to dispose of the Shuliu Zhou Hui, on the grounds that the Yanliu was more legitimate and could further win the support of the shogunate, after all, their original intention was to depose the shogun and manage the power, and it was easier to be accepted by the samurai of the world with a descendant, and the Miyoshi family did not have such a high prestige to follow Hosokawa Masamoto's bold and bold Lishuliu.

Another very important point is the Yamato country, at this time just under the control of Matsunaga Xiu, near Kofukuji Temple, board a boat through the Kizu River, Yodo River, Katsura River can come to Katryuji City, back and forth The time used for a trip is not necessarily delayed much, Nandu Kofukuji Temple is a big special take you is a monk is particularly many, Jueqing is neither the abbot nor the master, even if he suddenly disappears for a short time, he will not be found, and he will not be able to spread to Kyoto, choose Juekeisheng to hide in a safe place.

On the contrary, Luyuan Temple is adjacent to Kyoto and is at the farthest end of Katryuji Castle, and secondly, after the invasion of the war, there are only dozens of monks left to talk about it, Zhou Wei is the master of the first courtyard, if you want to kidnap the master of the first courtyard unknowingly, it is not easy, it is easier to sneak Jueqing out of Kofukuji Temple.

The three of them think about it and feel that there is no better choice, Zhou Wei of the Deer Yuan Yuan is really not easy to do in front of the public in Kyoto, if the hijacking fails, it will be a shame and a big hair, and the assassination of this kind of delicate work is obviously what Matsunaga Shu is willing to do, and the Ichijo Yuan Jueqing is in the hands of Matsunaga Xiu, if he is not willing to deal with these three good people, there is really no way to take him.

One of the brothers always has to die, one is Zhou Wei who neither side has mastered, and the other is Jueqing who Matsunaga Xiu is sure to take, and then consider the difference between the two points of respect and inferiority, the three good and the three people are decisively agree with Matsunaga Xiu's opinion, and urge him to act as soon as possible, so as not to make a mistake in the night long dream.

In the evening of the same day, the Luyuan courtyard was quiet and peaceful, Zhou Wei used the fast meal early to prepare for the evening class, although the name of the Luyuan courtyard master, in fact, he has to be responsible for only a few things every day, every day repeating the simple cycle of fasting, morning class, sprinkling and sweeping the temple, reading and researching ancient books, drinking tea and Zen, fasting, evening class, rest, two meals a day, no more, no less, a bowl of white rice, a miso soup, a little kelp, a little pickled vegetables.

Zhou Wei chanted silently for a moment, and found that the figure who was always moving back and forth outside the door shook his head slightly, and after a while, he got up and pushed open the door after reciting a Buddhist scripture, and asked the novice outside the door: "Jisuke, what's the matter with wandering outside the door if you don't go to the evening class?" ”

"Ahh Temple...... Courtyard Master! Yoshisuke trembled in fright, hurriedly bowed down and stumbled and replied, "Just now...... Only then did the messenger from Kyoto want to see the master of the temple......"

Zhou Wei said strangely: "What's wrong with Yoshisuke today?" There is no unity in a panic, did the messenger say anything? ”

"No...... He didn't say anything, just said that the master of the courtyard would know after a while. Jisuke swallowed his saliva with difficulty, carefully lowered his head and glanced at the corners of his eyes, and found that Zhou Hui's eyes were jumping, and he subconsciously clenched his cuffs.

"You're really weird today, can't you be sick?" Zhou Wei raised his hand to touch his forehead, but was avoided by Yoshisuke in a flash, and said in a panic: "The master of the courtyard, please go over as soon as possible!" The messenger must have been in a hurry. ”

Zhou Wei stared at Yoshisuke, who was behaving strangely, as if it had been a long time in the past ten thousand years, before he nodded slowly and said, "It's okay!" I heard that there was a stirring of wind and rain in Kyoto City, but my brother didn't know what was going on...... Lead the way! ”

Under the leadership of Yoshisuke, he walked out of the deer garden and walked along the path to the Kamo River, and saw a samurai standing in the river waiting, Yoshisuke stepped forward in two steps and leaned over and said anxiously: "Hirata Izumi Shouden, I have already brought the people, my share of ......"

Hirata and Izumi Mamoru seemed surprised by Yoshisuke's reaction, and snorted angrily and whispered, "It's not done yet!" What's the hurry? ”

"You are the messenger of the shogunate? How come I never met you? Zhou Wei suddenly stopped and asked in surprise, "Jisuke!" Do you know him? ”

Yoshisuke stammered in denial, "I'...... I don't know him......"

"And what did you just walk over to him and say? Say, "Are you hiding something from me?" Zhou Wei stared at the little surname who had followed him for many years, his eyes full of suspicion and dissatisfaction.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Hirata and Izumi Mamoru coughed dryly and said, "Let's answer His Royal Highness Zhou Wei's question when I come down!" Under is the new staff of the shogunate, there is something important to report to His Royal Highness Zhou Hui, just now I used some means to ask this Jisuke to help extend the Zhou Wei Palace. ”

"Is that so?" Zhou Huiwu turned around in disbelief and stared at Hirata and Izumi Mamoru, hesitated for a moment and asked with deep meaning: "Since it is my brother's new staff, I must have been in and out of the palace from time to time!" I must have seen my brother's sword room! Speaking of which, I have been away from home for a long time, and I haven't seen my brother practice swords with ancestral famous knives for a long time, I don't know if those famous knives at home are sharp, and can I tell the poor monks? ”

Hirata and Izumi Mamoru were suddenly stunned by the question, hesitated for a while and said dryly, "Hehe...... It's sharp, it's sharp...... His Royal Highness Gongfang's swordsmanship is also very powerful, so I admire it very much! ”

Zhou Wei stood by the river, looking at the gurgling Hemao River in the afterglow of the sunset, and asked casually, "I see...... So the Tsunegosho hasn't changed direction, right? Is the gate still wide open to the west? (To be continued......)
