Hosokawa Mototsune is also confused, the Ashikaga family can't hold on, and where should the Izumi Hosokawa family go.

Before the war, the Kawachi Hatakeyama family and the Izumi Hosokawa family stood side by side, and existed as the most supportive relatives of the Ashikaga family over the shogunate.

Now the Hatakeyama family is in a slump, and only 40,000 koku of direct collar are scattered all over the north and south of Hanoi, surviving for a long time.

The Izumi Hosokawa family received strong support from the Sibo family and took back the entire territory of Izumi, which was also devastated.

Miyoshi is not a fool, since he can't get it, then it will be ruined. Izumi was burned and killed, and his vitality was greatly damaged.

And the newly acquired land of North Hanoi by the Mibuchi family is the main battlefield of this recent war, and it is not much better.

Hosokawa Mototsune's heart was haggard and could not help but be shaken.

In the martial arts society, they are afraid of power and morality, and if they don't have enough strength, they are stupid, and everyone is bullied.

If the Izumi Province is lost this time, the Hosokawa family will have already been knocked into the abyss.

When I think of this, I think of Spo Yoshigin, who pulled the Hosokawa family up from the quagmire.

She was still pondering, and Hosokawa Fujitaka mentioned it first.

"Mother, have you ever heard rumors about Kyoto?"

Hosokawa Mototsu knew what she wanted to say, but he didn't want to take it.

"There are all kinds of rumors in Beijing every day, and they are disturbed, who knows whether it is true or not."

Hosokawa Fujitaka's eyes froze, knowing that his mother was avoiding it and didn't want to mention it.

Both of them knew in their hearts that Beijing was chaotic, and there were not many things related to the Hosokawa family.

As a veteran nobleman and a powerful local powerhouse, the Izumi Hosokawa family never participated in the entanglement of the Kyoto shogunates, and the Mibuchi family came forward to mediate.

Her family only needs to be loyal to the Ashikaga family, and the place where she runs is more important than the intrigue in Kyoto.

It's just that this matter, Hosokawa Fujitaka has to mention.

"It is rumored in Beijing that the general intends to improve the Sibo family's personality and return to the three-pipe collar clan."

Hosokawa Mototsune frowned slightly.

If it had been before, she had expressed her refusal to communicate, and Hosokawa Fujitaka would definitely keep her mouth shut.

Even if I talk about it in the future, I will pick the right time and mention it tactfully.

And today, she ignored her own attitude and expressed her intention to continue to be tough on her mother and the governor.

Since the mother and daughter met Yoshigin, there have been some subtle changes in Hosokawa Fujitaka.

She seemed to be suspicious of her mother's ability to judge, and did not follow blindly as she used to.

Hosokawa Mototsu is often in a complicated mood, every mother wants her daughter to be promising, but often the manifestation of promisingness is disobedience.

Spo Yiyin is good, but is it good enough that you resent my mother?

To be honest, Hosokawa Mototsune also regretted it in his heart.

I knew that Spo Yoshiyin was so fierce, and he should have acquiesced to Mibuchi Haruhuna and let Fujitaka marry him.

At that time, Sibo Yiyin was isolated, and it was the time for the two sides to get married.

But out of environmental considerations, she stopped Haruka Mibuchi, because Spo Yoshiin was too strong and didn't look like a good son-in-law suitable for the Hosokawa family.

Who knows, extraordinary people do extraordinary things.

In just half a year, the Sibo family has swelled into the leader of the local powerful faction, and has also pulled the Hosokawa Mibuchi family to the hand.

The stupid sister of Mibuchi Qingyuan is really a good fate, and she kindly helped her deceased son, and she actually got close to such a shocking talent.

My smart sister also relied on her sister's blessing to survive this catastrophe, it's really a shame to think about it.

Hosokawa Mototsune has a complicated mentality towards Spo Yoshigin, and although he reluctantly agreed to the Hosokawa Mibuchi Spo Three Alliance, he is emotionally estranged.

Akechi Mitsuhide has a vicious eye, and he grasped the entry point of the Mibuchi family at the beginning, leaving Hosokawa Mototsune helpless.

With the Mibuchi family here, you have to talk about feelings in the alliance, and this is the trouble of Hosokawa Mototsune.

She intends to turn the three alliances into an alliance of interests, gather when there is something to do, and sweep the snow in front of each other, at most meet politely.

However, Sibo Yiyin took advantage of his sophistication to tightly hold the Sanyuan family.

It is necessary to squeeze into the real circle of Hosokawa Mibuchi and make the three families a community of destiny where public and private cannot be distinguished.

Hosokawa Mototsune didn't dislike Spo Yoshigin's affection, but was just wary of the Spo family.

The local powerful faction and the shogunate were two parallel lines of the shogunate, and there was no intersection.

The Izumi Hosokawa family sent their adopted daughter to Mibuchi's house, and returned to Hosokawa's house with Hosokawa's daughter-in-law, who succeeded Mibuchi family, with two moves.

It took decades of painstaking management to tie up the Mibuchi family, a martial artist who was not strong among the shogunates, but it was also a usable samurai.

Hosokawa Miachichi is one outside and one inside, and they cooperate with each other, which is the reason why the Izumi Hosokawa family is like a fish in water in the shogunate.

Now that the Spo family is trying to squeeze in through the recent battle, how can the Izumi Hosokawa family continue to manipulate the Mibuchi family.

To put it utilitarianly, the Mibuchi family is the puppet of the Izumi Hosokawa family among the shogunates, and it is a tool used for mitigation.

With the Mibuchi family in the front, the Izumi Hosokawa family has a channel to ease their attitude and exchange opinions when they do anything and any shogunate conflicts.

The three alliances are fine, but if the Spo family continues to go deep into it and truly become the three families as one, then who will be the head?

The Izumi Hosokawa family has painstakingly operated the layout for decades, just to let the Spo family pick peaches?

Hosokawa Fujitaka looked at his mother silently and frowned.

"Mother, the general said a few days ago that Spo is loyal and can be entrusted to Sakamoto Castle.

Recently, it has been rumored that the Spo family will be granted the family status.

The wind is not going in the right direction. ”

Hosokawa Mototsune replied lightly.

"There is something wrong with the constant pampering."

Hosokawa Fujitaka looked at his mother carefully and said slowly.

"Mother, the Ashikaga family is no longer good, and I want to use the Spo family to bring the dead back to life."

Hosokawa Mototsu reprimanded angrily.

"Bold! Who allowed you to slander the princess like this! ”

Hosokawa Fujitaka said disappointedly.

"Mother, the three of us are an alliance, and our lips and teeth are cold."

Mototsune Hosokawa stands upside down.

"Hosokawa Fujitaka, you must know that you are the young master of the Hosokawa family, and you have to consider the pros and cons from the standpoint of the Hosokawa family."

Hosokawa's face was expressionless.

"At the beginning, Mibuchi's mother asked me to marry him, but you refused from Hosokawa's position.

Later, he took five Ji samurai to Iga, and I did not dissuade them for the sake of Hosokawa's position.

Now that the Ashikaga family wants to devour the Spo family and continue their own family fortunes, you still want me to consider Hosokawa's position.

Is it just for the sake of the Hosokawa Mibuchi family that is selfish and only knows his own position in the samurai alliance with the Hosokawa family? ”

Hosokawa Mototo, often annoyed and ashamed.

"Hosokawa Fujitaka, get out of here!"

Ignoring his mother's murderous gaze, Hosokawa Fujitaka slowly raised his teacup and drank it down.

"Mother, the Hosokawa family is not your Hosokawa family alone, and you are not absolutely right.

Mibuchi's mother and I agreed that the Hosokawa Mibuchi family needed the Spo family.

We are willing to accept the Spoo family and share weal and woe.

It's not your kind of alliance, in troubled times, we need real friends, the kind that we never leave. ”

Hosokawa Mototsune's face turned white.

The Mibuchi family governor and the young master Hosokawa were dissatisfied with her approach, and she suddenly had a sense of crisis.

Persuaded softly.

"Fujitaka, don't be stupid, it's impossible for you to be with him.

The general took a fancy to him and suppressed him in his name.

As long as he still has the inheritance of the Spo family in his heart, he can't escape. ”

Hosokawa Fujitaka stood up and walked out of the tea room, looking back at the moment when the door was closed, looking at his mother with burning eyes.

"He's not going to give in, I know him, he's not the kind of weak man who lets people take care of him.

Maybe I can't get him, it's because I'm stupid, I didn't insist on myself at the beginning, and I'm at your mercy.

I regret it, I really regret it.

This time, I will never give up. Even if I lose, I will lose clearly and never retreat. ”
