On the second day, just as Roshi Teruma and others began to prepare to meet the shogun Ashikaga Yoshiteru, the shogun Ashikaga Yoshiteru, who was on the side of the party, had just finished his morning lesson in swordsmanship today.

Everyone knows that Ashikaga Yoshiteru, the shogun of the Muromachi Imperial Palace, is a man of great martial arts, and today's morning class was to swing the big wooden sword from side to side 500 times, but he did it with ease.

In the end, the place where Ashikaga Yoshiki lived was still under the protection of Miyoshi Chokei, so the surrounding imperial palaces and the official residences of the ministers were not damaged by Yan zhòng. Of course, this is a far cry from the heyday of the Ashikaga shogunate, and it was possible to spend a lot of money to keep these buildings intact, which was also the shogun Ashikaga Yoshiteru in order to maintain his dignity and majesty.

When you come to the right side of the dormitory palace, you can see the dojo, where there are freshly planted trees, and daimyo such as Ashikaga Yoshiki's left and right attendants, Isshiki Awaji, Ueno Bingbu Shosuke, and Takayoyo Mamoru, as well as small guards Hatakeyama Kuro, Odate Iwa Chiyo, Settsu Itomaru, etc., everyone is amazed by Ashikaga Yoshiki's swordsmanship.

"That's amazing!"

At this time, Ishshiki Awaji Mamoru also came to the shogunate Ashikaga Yoshiki, and said with his hands on the ground: "In the end, it is still the mystery of Tsukahara Buden's swordsmanship, which really makes me and others admire it to the ground." "Previously, Ashikaga Yoshiki had studied swordsmanship with the sword saint Tsukahara Buchuan.

"No, my work is not enough. Kendo is an esoteric knowledge that you have to devote your whole life to studying. Ashikaga Yoshiki wiped the sweat from his body and said, "I'm dedicated to practicing swords. It can make me have no distractions. But the world says I shouldn't do such a thing!"

"There's no such thing. Everyone is grateful to you, Shogun! Since the shogun returned to Luojing from Sakamoto, the thieves in the Kyoshi have been halved, and everyone is happy. ”

"Oh! When you talk about happy things, I think of the royal companion who came to Shangluo this time to explore the topic of Luo Zhengliang's sister-in-law, Luo Shi Huiliang! ”

"Yes. Being able to make a Warring States daimyo like the Luo family send his son-in-law to Beijing to meet him, it can be seen that the prestige of the shogun is growing more and more powerful. Moreover, it is rumored that this His Royal Highness Huiliang is also the same as his father Zhenglianggong, and he is also a very good general, and I believe that he can also contribute some strength to the stability of the world like his father Zhenglianggong. ”

"That's what I'm looking forward to. However, in any case, now my retainers ......" Speaking of this, Ashikaga Yoshiteru suddenly remembered something, and said cautiously:

"And I hope that the people who came to Luo this time will be loyal to me...... That's what I hope. If anyone who comes is for their own ambitions...... I heard that Dazai Daitsu (Rashi Teruara's shogunate officer) is still young, so maybe he can work with me! ”

While Ashikaga Yoshiteru said this, someone hurriedly entered the dojo and knelt in front of Ashikaga Yoshiteru to report:

"Report!"

The person who came was the main meal of the town guarding the town here.

"Mainmeal! What's the matter?"

"In front of the imperial gate of the Imperial Palace, Lord Kyogoku Takayoshi is waiting for an audience with several guests from the Luo family in Kyushu."

"Haha, I'm commenting on these guests, I didn't expect the guests to arrive so soon, let them in." Ashikaga Yoshiki said with a smile after hearing this.

Just when Ashikaga Yoshiteru agreed to the request of the Luo family for an audience. While admiring the view of the Imperial Gate of the Imperial Palace, Roche Tegura also thought about the previous trip to Kyoto. His father, Masara, once told him about the situation of the shogun Ashikaga Yoshiteru.

If you want to mention the shogun Ashikaga Yoshiteru, it is inevitable that you can't avoid Miyoshi Nagakei, who is controlling the Kyoto area at this time. The governor of the Miyoshi family was originally a retainer of the Hosokawa family, three or four years older than his father Masashi, and Miyoshi Nagakei was already in his thirties or even nearly forty years old at this time. Miyoshi Chokei used means to overwhelm the Hosokawa family, and then, with the help of several brothers, acquired the territories of Yamashiro, Settsu, Kawachi, Izumi, Awa, and the Seven Kingdoms of Yamato, and was also an important minister who accompanied the shogun's family.

Although he heard that Ashikaga Yoshiteru had good retainer support, in fact, his courtier Miyoshi Chokei gave the shogun unlimited oppression. Since the Onin War, it has been difficult to find people who emphasize morality and righteousness in the Warring States period, and the position that Shogun Ashikaga Yoshiteru has gained is also very strange.

Ashikaga Yoshiteru's father was the 12th shogun, Ashikaga Yoshiharu, who was later expelled from Kyoshi and died in the mountains of Omi Anata. His child, Kikutomaru, took the name Yoshiki at the age of eleven and inherited the position of the thirteenth shogun, but was unable to return to the Muromachi Imperial Palace.

And in the next year when Ashikaga Yoshiki became a general, that is, when he was twelve years old, he was chased out of Kyoto by Hosokawa Haruhoto, but at the age of thirteen, he returned to Kyoto, but at this time, Miyoshi Nagakei had replaced the Hosokawa family in control of Kyoto, so soon due to the contradictions between the two sides, the Miyoshi family exiled Ashikaga Yoshiki to Sakamoto in Omi. Ashikaga Yoshiteru and the Miyoshi family resumed their harmonious relationship in the twenty-first year of Astronomy (1552), that is, when he was seventeen years old, and that year with the help of the Rokkaku family, Ashikaga Yoshiki finally returned to the capital again; However, in the twenty-second year of the following year, Ashikaga Yoshiteru was exiled for the third time......

All in all, Ashikaga Yoshiteru himself did not have the strength, and even if he returned to Kyoshi, although he had accommodation in the Muromachi Imperial Palace, he was watched over by Miyoshi Chokei, whom he hated. Just when Roche Huiliang was still recalling the situation of Ashikaga Yoshiteru, a flag book also came out and saluted:

"The Shogun has instructed that if the Great King of Kyoto and His Royal Highness Tegura come to meet him, please go directly to the dojo."

"Then, Qingliang and Changhui, you can leave the gift and wait outside the dojo first." After hearing this, Luo Hui Liang immediately ordered Doi Kiyoshi and the others to stay, and then Luo Shi Hui Liang followed the Tongchuan Banner to the dojo alone with Kyogoku Takayoshi.

At this time, there were two samurai competing against each other in the dojo, and there were more than a dozen samurai watching next to them. General Ashikaga Yoshiteru has also finished his training and sat in the front desk, and his side is Hatakeyama Kuro, Odate Iwa Chiyo, Settsu Itomaru and others.

After seeing the arrival of Kyogoku Takayoshi and Roche Huiliang. Shogun Ashikaga Yoshiteru clapped his hands. The two people in the field immediately stopped shouting. They put away their wooden knives. Bow to the main seat on the stage together, and then walk out of the arena and stand still on the side as well.

"You are the son-in-law of Zhengliang Gong, Luo Shi Huiliang?" Ashikaga Yoshiteru looked at Roche Tegura with a smile and said. In the past ten years, whether it is Ashikaga Yoshiki's father Ashikaga Yoshiharu or Ashikaga Yoshiki himself, he has actually received a lot of help and support from Roche Masayo, so he has always had a very good impression of the Luo family, not to mention that this time he personally invited the people of the Luo family to come to Kyoto for a secret talk, so the attitude is naturally very cordial.

"Yes...... Luo Hui Liang met with the general. Luo Che Huiliang immediately saluted.

"Ling Zunzheng Lianggong has contributed a lot to the shogunate over the years, and I am very pleased!"

"Your Excellency, General. Both the minister and the father are deeply honored! Luo Huiliang replied respectfully.

"Ling Zunzheng Lianggong is a famous martial artist in the Warring States, and he is even praised by the world as the Eagle of Kyushu." Ashikaga Yoshiteru continued with a smile.

"Thank you for the praise of the general, and the foreign minister is deeply grateful to the father." Luo Huiliang immediately replied. In any case, since people praise their fathers, they naturally need to express their gratitude.

"Hehe, since Zhengliang Gong is so brave, presumably your martial arts will not be too far behind." At this time, Ashikaga Yoshiki still kept a smile and looked at the young man in front of him who had been given the word "Hui" by himself when he was in his original suit, and then his voice changed, and he suddenly asked, "I don't know if you dare to fight with the samurai in the field?" ”

Roche Teruma was stunned by Ashikaga Yoshiteru's sudden invitation. But he quickly reacted and hurriedly said:

"Dare to disobey!"

Although I don't know what Ashikaga Yoshiki is doing. But his own reputation cannot be weakened, and his own reputation as the heir of the Luo family cannot be weakened, otherwise it will be difficult to explain to everyone in the family after returning home, and his status as the heir will also be affected.

Although the family has always been very harmonious under the auspices of his father Masashi, and his brothers and sisters also seem to be very united, but after all, there are different interest groups standing behind each other, which he was taught by his grandfather Togo Heiji not long after he became sensible, as a sister-in-law, he can't let others see the opportunity to encourage his brother to compete for the position of family governor, which will cause instability in the family, so he can't refuse this duel invitation.

"Good! Hahaha......" Seeing that Roche Terura agreed so simply, Ashikaga Yoshiki immediately laughed, and then shouted, "Varin Hideshige!" ”

"Your Majesty is here!" A samurai in his mid-twenties immediately walked out.

"You can have a discussion with His Highness Huiliang!"

"Yes." He was ordered to walk into the middle of the field.

Seeing this situation, Luo Shi Huiliang didn't bother to speak anymore, he simply took a wooden knife, and then bowed to the other party: "Please give advice to His Highness Valin." ”

The latter also took the wooden knife and saluted back: "Please give advice to His Royal Highness Huiliang!" “

"Wait." Before the two people in the field could start to fight, Ashikaga Yoshiki suddenly made a gesture, called another attendant, and gave a few gentle commands. The attendant nodded in response, took two knives and sent them to the field.

"A real sword and a real sword competition?!" When he saw such a situation, Luo Clan Huiliang immediately determined in his heart that this time was not just a simple competition, there must be the purpose of the shogun behind it, but he Luo Clan Huiliang was not a chess piece that could be used arbitrarily, and at this time he represented not only himself, but also the Luo family, so he was already thinking about whether to withdraw from this duel.

"General!"

And just when Luo Huiliang was still thinking about it, a voice suddenly sounded.
