Ashikaga shogun honjin shogunate.

Ashikaga Yoshiki looked at Yuzo Nobuko, who came on a horse overnight, and saw her kowtow and weep bitterly, pleading.

"I also ask Lord Gongfang to be the master of my Youzuo family and my loyal and brave mother."

The Yusa family followed the Hatakeyama family for nearly two hundred years, and was considered a well-known samurai in the shogunate. Now that the governor of the family has died in the army in vain, Ashikaga Yoshiki is annoyed.

It's also said that Hatakeyama Takamasa is not a good person. Yusa Chokyo was loyal to her and contributed to the stability of the Hatakeyama family in Hanoi.

Not only did she not win over with a reward, but she became jealous and despised by all the martial artists.

The foundation of samurai society is to be rewarded with public favors, and the Yusa family is dedicated to public service, and the Hatakeyama family should be rewarded.

This is not a question of strength or strength, but a contract of the relationship between the upper and lower samurai families.

Now that Yusa Chokyo is dead, her daughter came to the army to meet the general and cried that Hatakeyama Takamasa had assassinated Yusa Chokyo, which shocked Ashikaga Yoshiaki's face to change.

The shogunate army fought in Hanoi, and the assistance of local samurai was very important. If nothing else, the number of peasant soldiers who provided transportation and supplies alone was huge.

Miyoshi Changqing invaded Hanoi this time, bringing half of the Miyoshi family's invasion of nearly half of the army.

In order to contend with Ashikaga Yoshiteru, the Shogunate army also gathered the combined forces of the Yamashiro Shogunate, the South Omi Rokkaku family, the North Omi Asai family, and the Kawachi Hatakeyama family.

During this battle, Miyoshi Chokei's supplies gathered at Sakai Port and were transported by merchants' logistics. Ashikaga Yoshiteru's supplies were concentrated in Yamashiro and relied on peasant soldiers.

Among them, the Hatakeyama family in Hanoi was a local samurai, providing a large number of peasants and soldiers to provide support for logistics and transportation.

If Hatakeyama Takamasa really assassinated Yusa Chokyo at this time, then Ashikaga Yoshiteru could only say one sentence, I'm a muddy father!

The Yu Saga family has stabilized Hanoi for the Hatakeyama family over the years, and from another point of view, it means that they have mastered the real power in the country.

Now that the governor is dead inexplicably, once he rebels in anger and the logistics collapse, the morale of the Shogunate in Hanoi will be shaken.

Ashikaga Yoshiki asked with a calm face.

"You said that Hatakeyama Takamasa assassinated Yusa Choke, is there any evidence?"

You Zuo Nobu touched a handful of tears and replied.

"I brought my mother's body, and I dare to ask the general to take a look."

Ashikaga Yoshiki is also a samurai who went into battle to kill the enemy, so he was naturally not afraid to look at the dead, so he sent the corpse in.

"Lord Gongfang, please see, my mother was killed by five iron cannons at close range, and the wounds are all on her back!

My mother went out of the camp to watch the enemy's formation, riding a fast horse, and did not go far.

Dare to ask the general, could it be that my mother was beaten to death by five iron cannon samurai of the Miyoshi family when she was galloping on a fast horse? ”

Ashikaga Yoshiteru only felt angry, Hatakeyama Takamasa, you bastard!

How dare you assassinate the Yuzuo Changjiao through the chaos of war! Could it be that I really hold my own noble bloodline, and I, Ashikaga Yoshiteru, dare not kill you?

"Where's your mother's flag?"

"I took them all. They have confessed that they were bought by Takamasa Hatakeyama a few years ago to infiltrate my mother as spies.

In this recent battle, they were instructed to take advantage of the chaos to kill my mother. ”

As he spoke, You Zuo was choked up in his throat and couldn't cry.

"This is their confession, please read it carefully."

Ashikaga Yoshiki took the confession and asked as he looked at it.

"What about them?"

"I have beheaded it, and the corpse has been thrown into the wilderness to feed the dogs."

"Good kill! Apostate, that's how it should be! ”

Ashikaga Yoshiki paced a few steps left and right and said.

"You go down first, don't startle the snake, I have my own opinions."

"Lord Xie Gongfang."

You Zuo Xinjiao kowtowed gratefully, and then walked out, and endured until he was in his own army, before he couldn't restrain the corners of his mouth and showed a smile.

Since ancient times, there has been a reason for rebellion, and after all, the Yusa family has followed the Hatakeyama family for nearly two hundred years.

If there is not a sufficient reason, betraying the master family will be despised by all the samurai.

Years of hard work under the Hatakeyama family are the capital of the Yusa family's growth, and it is also the shackles that leave the main family and go alone.

Hatakeyama is unreasonable, and Yusa Chokyo reluctantly wipes her ass really just because of foolishness?

No, it's because the Yusa family has been with them for too long, and they are too deeply entangled with the Hatakeyama family.

Not to mention anything else, the position of Kawachi guardian, the status of the family among the shogunate samurai, which has nothing to do with the Hatakeyama family.

The Yusa family, who left the Hatakeyama family, is a rootless tree and a helpless samurai orphan.

This is the truth of Yu Zuo's loyalty.

The Yusa family has taken too many benefits from the Hatakeyama family, and if you want to grasp these benefits, you have to continue to be loyal. It's a contract, it's a deal.

Her daughter, Yu Zuo, is religious, but the view is different.

Externally, the decline of the Ashikaga shogunate became more and more obvious, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that the shogunate would collapse sooner or later.

The troubled times are coming, and the most important thing is to jump off the shipwrecked ship of the shogunate, which is destined to sink, and take a few more things before jumping off the ship, so that it can be used to stabilize the position when the new ship is mounted.

Today, only one country of Kawachi is left in the Hatakeyama family, and the real power in the country is controlled by the Yusa family and the Yasumi family respectively. You Zuojia is confident that he will control half of the country in South Hanoi and sell it at a price.

Internally, Yusa Chokyo used his own strength to suppress the country and help the Hatakeyama family rule, which has hurt the fundamental interests of the Yusa family's retainers.

If you can't get out of the Hatakeyama family in time to stop the loss, then today's Hatakeyama family is tomorrow's Yusa family.

His retainers crossed the governor to express their dissatisfaction with the young master, which was a sign.

You Zuo has to make a choice, either abandon her stubborn old mother, or suppress the retainers of the You Zuo family and force them to accept the reality that their interests are damaged.

Ashikaga Yoshiteru Honjin inside the shogunate.

After You Zuo's religion left, a person flashed behind the scenes, kneeling and bowing.

Ashikaga Yoshiki asked with a frown.

"What the hell is going on?"

The man looked up, and it was the big-eyed Fu Yanagi Zongyan.

The main force of this battle is the coalition forces, and Ashikaga Yoshiteru needs to know the movements of each family, and he can't be a blind and deaf person.

Then the Ashikaga family's monitoring of the daimyo is naturally going to investigate.

Yanagi replied respectfully.

"You Zuo Changjiao went out of the camp to watch the battle, and he brought five members of the You Zuo family to the side of the flag, and the six people did not go far out of the camp, just on a nearby hill to watch.

Then there was the roar of iron cannons, and the flag of Yusa Chojiao brought back her body. ”

Ashikaga Yoshiki said dissatisfied.

"That's all? Nothing else? ”

Yanagi Zongyan is also helpless.

The power of the shogunate was not as good as before, and even the big eyes that made the daimyo tremble at the beginning also declined.

Now that she is the leader of the big eye fu, she is no longer able to monitor the inside story of each family, and what she does is similar to that of the ninjas, and no one may be doing well.

After all, the profession is not right, the secret police are not intelligence officers in the end, and there is still a difference between searching for rebels and collecting intelligence.

But when the general asked, of course, he couldn't just ask three questions. Otherwise, her position is not guaranteed, and there are people watching her position from behind.

She needs to show her abilities, not just swordsmanship.

"Then a strange thing happened, and when You Zuo became a believer in the You Zuo army, the five banners died.

Although You Zuo believed in religion and claimed that they were bribed and died by the beheading.

But there is also secret news that there are wounds in the abdomen of the five people, which seems. Seppuku is self-harming. ”

Ashikaga Yoshiki looked at her sharply, his eyes frozen.

"Then it's not the head of the gang, it's a mistake?"

"The general is wise."

There is a big difference between the head of the owl and the intermediary.

The samurai head is a brutal way of killing, in order to deter the enemy, and the mistake is a mending knife for seppuku self-harm.

To put it simply, seppuku is a ritual of stabbing oneself in the stomach, which is extremely painful.

At this time, it is necessary to find a person with sharp knife skills to introduce the wrong person to the seppuku, and call the wrong person.

In order to reduce the pain of the seppuku, she was quickly beheaded after the seppuku and suffered less suffering.

If those five banners really died of seppuku, You Zuo's religion is a bully!

Seppuku is a ritual of the Hime samurai for a dignified death and for a dignified responsibility.

If those flags were self-inflicted, they were doing the right thing in the wrong way.

In other words, they didn't do anything wrong in killing Yusa Chokyo, they weren't Hatakeyama Takamasa's shadows! The You Zuo family wants to rebel!

Ashikaga Yoshiteru's face changed dramatically.
