However, this is no longer possible.
The death of Ashikaga Yoshiteru tore off the last fig leaf of the Ashikaga Shogunate. All samurai families more or less realized that troubled times were coming.
Qin lost its deer, and the whole world chased it away.
Yoshigan Ushiba could not stabilize the shogunate, and Yoshiaki Ashikaga could not stabilize the shogunate even more. The prestige accumulated by the Ashikaga shogun for two hundred years has been completely dissipated with the death of Ashikaga Yoshiteru.
And people like Hosokawa Fujitaka and Wada Weimasa cooperated to find famous names from outside the region to lead troops to Luo, which was an act of luring wolves into the house, fearing Dong Zhuo's disaster.
Mitsuhide Akechi is looking forward to this very much.
To establish a new order, the original old structure must first be wiped out. But no matter how bad the old structure is, Sibo Yiyin cannot do it himself.
Because he is the embodiment of righteousness in the world and the savior who calms down the troubled times, he must be spotless and flawless.
But now, the chaotic world that has lasted for hundreds of years is not chaotic enough, and it is not so chaotic that everyone cannot bear it and longs for peace.
Akechi Mitsuhide needs Hosokawa Fujitaka, Wada Yamasa, Oda Nobunaga and other recent careerists. Only when they completely shatter the old order is it time for Shiba Yoshigan to take action.
Akechi Mitsuhide knows best how soft-hearted his master is. If he is allowed to do it on his own, he will definitely patch up this crumbling house and maintain order diligently.
But this is not the new world Akechi Mitsuhide wants.
The Ashikaga Shogunate was inherently deficient and could only provoke the samurai to fight with the samurai with a balanced hand. In the past two hundred years, when has the world ever had real peace?
Akechi Mitsuhide did not want Yoshihiro Saba to spend his life guarding the hopeless Ashikaga Shogunate. Yoshihiro Saba should establish a new order, a better world for the samurai.
When she was young, her family was ruined, and she wandered around the country, witnessing the tragedy of troubled times. Now that she has met the Lord of the Ming Dynasty, she only desires to seek a more stable new political power for the martial arts families in the world.
Hosokawa Fujitaka did not understand Akechi Mitsuhide's ideals. She was born in the Izumi Hosokawa family, the most traditional and famous martial arts family. She fought for power and profit throughout her life to maintain the prosperity of her family business.
The two close friends were destined to embark on different paths from the moment they met Shiba Yiyin. Either a new life or a conservative one.
Faced with Akechi Mitsuhide's accusation, Hosokawa Fujitakamoto had to start to fight back, she said.
"Don't dare to take it seriously.
Compared to the dirty tricks Akechi-sama used in Kyoto to kill General Ashikaga, what do I do?"
Wisely shows off one's face without changing color.
"Everything I do is for the benefit of the Lord."
Hosokawa Fujitaka sighed and said contemptuously.
"For the benefit of Duke Qianxin? I think it's to get into Duke Qianxin's bed, right?
You, a selfish villain, have tried every possible means to break up the Azulisbo Convergence, and you want to put the blame on Lord Kenshin.
Don’t you feel ashamed?”
Akechi Mitsuhide said with a smile.
"I don't understand what Mr. Hosokawa said. What did I do?"
Hosokawa Fujitaka stared at her coldly and spoke word by word.
"Akechi Mitsuhide, if you don't want others to know, you have to do nothing yourself. You know what you have done."
The reason why I came here this time is to ask you to stay in Konkisbo Territory and not to interfere with His Highness Ashikaga Yoshiaki's plan to go to Luo.
If Mr. Shiba has acted excessively in recent years and missed the important events of His Highness Ashikaga Yoshiaki, I cannot guarantee whether the scandalous things you have done will spread to Mr. Kenshin."
Hearing Hosokawa Fujitaka's threat, Akechi Mitsuhide wanted to laugh in her heart. She was not afraid of others knowing what she had done, and many people knew about it.
Not to mention how much outsiders can guess, people like Nizi Katsuhisa, Takada Haruno, and Maeda Yoshida all know it well.
As soon as Shiba Yoshigan comes back, these guys will rush to file a lawsuit and put all the blame for the recent chaos on Mitsuhide Akechi.
There is also an escaped Fujibayashi Anzu. If she is caught by Momochi Santao, Shiba Yoshigan will know the contents in more detail than others.
Mitsuhide Akechi never thought of hiding Yoshihiro Shiba.
Doing is one thing, hiding is another. She can do dirty things for Shiba Yiyin that are inconvenient for him to do, but she will never deny them and face them calmly.
She covered her mouth and smiled gracefully.
"This threat from Hosokawa Hime makes me really scared."
Hosokawa Fujitaka's expression remained unchanged as he stared at Akechi Mitsuhide, a sharp light flashing in his eyes.
"I know.
Even if Lord Kenshin learns of what you have done, he can only helplessly cover it up for you, because the Shiba family cannot afford this sin.
He did things openly and above all, but was burdened by his family business. For the sake of the reputation of the Si Bo family, he must not admit that the regicide was related to the Si Bo family.
He is really tired and helpless."
