Chapter 66 Desire
Yamashiro Kunikatsu Ryuji Castle, Hosokawa Fujitaka received a letter from his biological mother Haruto Mibuchi in his mansion.
The letter urged her to enter Beijing.
The shogunate ordered Yoshigin, the son of the Spo family, to go to Omi on behalf of the shogun and participate in the Rokkaku family's campaign against the Asai family.
She will accompany Spo Yoshigin's guard, and her mission is to keep him safe.
In the letter, Mibuchi Haruto faintly expressed the idea that he hoped she would marry Spo Yoshigin, and Hosokawa Fujitaka's face wrinkled.
She was in the chess room of the mansion at this time, and there was an elegant beauty sitting opposite, and the two were talking about a game with their hands.
"What? Get up on the wrong side of the bed? ”
Seeing that Hosokawa Fujitaka was silent after reading the letter, the Ji samurai on the opposite side played with the chess pieces and said.
"Mibuchi-sama is really. Love to worry. ”
Although she has returned to the Hosokawa family, her biological mother has always loved her, and sometimes it is quite a headache to assert herself, but this time the matter is a bit big.
As a high-ranking samurai born in the three leaders of the shogunate, the marriage event was destined to be a political marriage, but Mibuchi Haruhina decided casually without consulting the Hosokawa family, which would make Hosokawa Fujitaka very embarrassed, and he really didn't treat himself as an outsider.
Mibuchi Haruhin was born in the Izumi Hosokawa family, and the current head of the family, Hosokawa Mototsune, is a sister with her.
The two have a deep sisterhood, because Hosokawa Mototsu has no daughters under his knees, so he succeeded the second daughter of Harumi to the Hosokawa family from the Mibuchi family, so as to inherit the Izumi Hosokawa family.
The Hosokawa family is divided into two branches in the near future, one is the Kyotsu Hosokawa family, and Shikoku and the near few have huge territories, which are the descendants of the Hosokawa family.
The other branch is the Izumi Hosokawa family, who has served the shogunate for generations, and is a close confidant of the shogun, and is deeply trusted.
A few years ago, the Kyozhao Hosokawa family had the idea of competing with the Ashikaga shogun, and the family governor Hosokawa Harumoto led the army to Rakuto Kyoto several times to seize power, and for a time the shogunate led the Hosokawa family above the Ashikaga shogun.
As a result, the strength of the general was greatly damaged after the bloody battle, and the Hosokawa retainer Miyoshi Nagakei rose and seized the foundation of the Hosokawa family in Shikoku, and the Hosokawa Kyosaki family became the puppet of the Miyoshi family.
Over the years, the Ashikaga family has been constantly invaded by the Miyoshi family, and it was only after Rokkaku Dinglai sent troops to help him that the Miyoshi family was forced to negotiate.
The final agreement made Ashikaga Yoshiteru angry and helpless. The Miyoshi family became the leader of the generation, and Miyoshi Chokei was the royal companion of the Ashikaga shogunate.
The Hosokawa family has lost all their backgrounds, and only their fame remains. The face of the Ashikaga family is gone, and the enemy has become a heavy minister.
This royal companion has always been a position that only a close branch of the Ashikaga family can hold, and it is not enough for those who are not highly respected.
What is the difference between giving Miyoshi Changqing now and letting Ashikaga Yoshiteru kneel down and call his mother. But the situation is stronger than people, and there is no way, so I will breathe for a while.
Even this agreement didn't work for a few years, and after less than two years of signing, Hexagon Dinglai died. The Miyoshi family is ready to make a comeback.
The Yamashiro Province run by the Izumi Hosokawa family and several important castles in Izumi Province were both targets for the Miyoshi family's attack.
Just at the moment when the eyebrows were burned, a letter from Haruha Mibuchi came, how could Hosokawa Fujitaka be happy. It is estimated that they all scolded their biological mothers in their hearts, regardless of their importance, and they didn't know what to expect.
"Lord Mibuchi asked me to go back to Beijing once and accompany the son-in-law of the Spo family to Omi for a show."
Hosokawa Fujitaka has been intelligent since he was a child, and he has seen the things in Kyoto these days. With a few words, she probably guessed the shogunate's thoughts, and couldn't help sneering, how could it be so simple.
These Roxagonal families and the Asai family are both powerful samurai who have survived the fierce battles in recent years, how can they be so easy to get along.
Ashikaga Shogun wants to make a zero-dimensional attitude, and he may get back into trouble.
Poor little man of the Spo family, do you know what will happen to you? A man should teach his wife and daughter at home, and what is mixed with women's affairs.
"This hexagonal family is crusading against the Asai family, and the princess sent a son, is it to blur the attitude?"
The Ji samurai opposite Hosokawa Fujitaka lowered his head and thought for a while.
"It's not, now that the Miyoshi family is about to go to Luo, Lord Gongfang doesn't want to make new enemies."
Hosokawa Fujitaka said in a slightly teasing tone.
"In order to protect this Spo boy from accidents, Mibuchi-sama ordered me to go to Beijing to escort him, and asked me to choose another Ji samurai to accompany me.
Mitsuhide, do you want to come with me to Omi Province? ”
"It's okay, just take a look at the recent changes in Omi Province, so as not to misjudge if something happens in the future."
The woman sitting across from Hosokawa Fujitaka was named Akechi Mitsuhide.
The Wise House is a branch of the Mino Nationality Qi family, and after the decline of the Tsuki family, the Wise family succumbed to Saito Michizo. This wise and beautiful girl Yingjie should have done something.
It's a pity that when he came out of the Saito family, he encountered a color Yoshilong rebellion, and the wise Mitsuhide who refused to surrender to the mother-killer was forced to approach a few people to the west.
Later, he met Hosokawa Fujitaka in Yamashiro Country, and the two became confidants when they met and hated each other. I temporarily live in Hosokawa Fujitaka's house, and it's also fun to talk about current affairs all day long.
Minami Omi, Kannonji Castle.
This castle is the residence of the Rokkaku family for several generations. The city is not far from the south bank of Pipa Lake, and the war horses and pig iron of the northern continent and the southern barbarians of the western kingdom all come from the trade routes on the north shore of the Pipa Lake.
Rice grains and oils from Mino Province in the east and sword forgings from Ise Province in the southeast are continuously transported from Kannonji Castle to Yamashiro Province in the west.
These trade routes were enough for the Omi country to be rich in the world, not to mention the fertile land around Lake Biwa, the abundant water sources, and the height of the entire Omi country was more than 770,000 stones.
Omi Province is also adjacent to Yamashiro Province, and Kyoto is under your nose. Once there is a change, you can go to Luojing to seize the world, no wonder the Ashikaga family wants to suppress the Rokkaku family for generations.
The Kyogoku family, the minions of the Ashikaga family, has fallen, and the upstart Asai family has not regained its vigor since the death of the previous family governor, Ryomasa Asai.
The current governor of the family, Hisamasa Asai, has been defeated by the Rokkaku family many times, and if it weren't for the help of the traditional ally Echizen Asakura, he would not be able to support it today.
Now the young head of the Asai family, Asai Nagamasa, is wise and decisive, and his reputation has risen and he is supported by his retainers. If the Asai family is not completely suppressed, and the Changzheng is on the throne, the Roxagonal family may not be able to be suppressed as easily as it is now.
On the other hand, the hexagonal Yixian was newly appointed as the governor. Since ancient times, there has been no peace in the samurai family, in order to suppress the powerful retainers and show their abilities. It has always been a battle.
Either externally or internally. The retainers of the Rokkaku family are still united and loyal, and the goal of Rokkaku Yoshiken is naturally placed on the old enemy Asai family.
The cunning Rokkaku Yoshiken prepares to realize the most precious treasure left by the previous Rokkaku Joyori, the covenant of the Ashikaga Shogun's family. In this way, Omi was unified and dominated.
But what she was waiting for was the answer of the Ashikaga family like a joke.
"The son of the Spo family? Isn't it a joke? ”
It was her daughter who was summoned by the hexagonal Yixian, and the hexagonal family was less ruled. When she heard that Ashikaga Shogun had sent a man, she was a little dumbfounded.
"Lord Gongfang, this is taking my hexagonal family for a fool. The alliance between the Ashikaga family and the Rokkaku family was obtained by the ancestors who killed countless Rokkaku family Ji samurai, how could the Ashikaga family be mixed up like this. ”
Rokkaku Yoshi-hyun smiled coldly and said to his daughter.
"If you spread the news, you will say that the shogunate has sent a warrior to help in the war, and it is the inheritance of the Sibo family."
"Mother means, let the Asai family rob and kill? But Hisamasa Asai isn't that stupid, right? . ”
Rokkaku Yoshiji understood his mother's plan, but the Asai family might not be fooled. Hisamasa Asai is notoriously mediocre, but he's not stupid enough to do it. Once this kind of thing is leaked, Ashikaga Shogun will be furious, and the situation will only get worse.
"She doesn't have the guts, then you can find someone to do it."
Rokkaku Yoshikhyun glanced at his daughter dissatisfied, and a cruel smile crossed his beautiful and mature face.
