Ise Sakyo smiled.
"I have some ideas."
Ashikaga Yoshiaki and Oda Nobunaga looked at the old fox of the shogunate together to see what conditions she was prepared to offer to the shogunate.
Ise Sakyo said.
"I have the honor to say frankly that the shogunate has declined in recent years, and its appeal to the martial arts in the world has become weaker and weaker.
After much thought, I realized that this was because the three commanders were in decline and were unable to assist the general and the shogunate.
Now, His Highness Oda has unparalleled loyalty and righteousness, and his family is magnificent. I sincerely ask the general to make an exception and promote you, and introduce loyal ministers and righteous people to the shogunate to assist you in managing the shogunate."
Ashikaga Yoshiaki's face was stunned, and Oda Nobunaga's heart moved, this condition is unusual.
Since the establishment of the Ashikaga Shogunate, most political struggles have centered around the Ashikaga shoguns and the three leaders. Only the Yamano family in the Sixth Hall of the Western Kingdom made an exception, and it was short-lived.
Everything has two sides, good and bad.
The three leaders, Hosokawa, Shiba, and Hatakeyama, are all high-ranking nobles second only to the Ashikaga family, and are powerful.
On the one hand, they competed with the Ashikaga Shogun for the leadership of the shogunate. On the other hand, they also helped the shogunate maintain its dignity, so that the martial arts in the world did not dare to underestimate the strength of the shogunate.
However, as the three leading clans declined one after another, the shogunate's strength gradually became unable to suppress all the vassals in the world.
Even in the end, the nearby places that were considered forbidden by the shogunate became the battlefield for the two powerful feudal lords, Miyoshi Nagakei and Rokkaku Sadayori.
Oda Nobunaga has two million koku and is entrenched on the side of Kyoto. No matter how Ise Sakyo views it, Ashikaga Yoshiaki is no match for Oda Nobunaga.
Since you can't defeat him, it's better to invite Oda Nobunaga to join. Give her the power to take charge of the shogunate, analogous to the functions of the three chiefs, and assist Ashikaga Yoshiaki.
Although Ashikaga Yoshiaki's power was restricted, from the perspective of the entire shogunate, this deal was not a loss.
This principle is the same as when Miyoshi Changqing came to Luo, the ministers waited and watched, unwilling to fully cooperate with Ashikaga Yoshiteru to stop Miyoshi Changqing.
The Oda family is powerful, and with Oda Nobunaga here, the influence of the shogunate will be much greater than it is now, and they and other ministers can also have a stable life.
After weighing the pros and cons, cooperation between the two parties is also a win-win situation for Ashikaga Yoshiaki and Oda Nobunaga.
Ashikaga Yoshiaki was somewhat dissatisfied with his power being encroached upon by Oda Nobunaga, and Oda Nobunaga might not be willing to succumb to this incompetent general.
But both sides were silent at this time, both of them acquiescing to Ise Sadakyo's proposal. Because they had a common trouble, Shiba Yoshigan.
Although there will definitely be frictions and conflicts between the two parties in the future. But now, it is not unacceptable to work together to deal with the Sibo Yiyin.
Ashikaga Yoshiaki frowned.
"The Oda family's family style seems a bit..."
She didn't say lowly, but that's what she meant. As someone with a family background, what she cared about the most was order.
Oda Nobunaga glanced at Ashikaga Yoshiaki seemingly inadvertently, recalling the unpleasantness at the succession ceremony, and sneered in his heart.
Ashikaga Yoshiaki discusses politics based on his family background. He is really a stupid guy.
Ise Sakyo also cursed in his heart, Oda Nobunaga is here, Ashikaga Yoshiaki doesn't know how to cover it up? What's the difference between this and pointing at the nose and calling a bitch? Silly b!
If he hadn't been desperate, Ise Sakyo would really not want to be associated with a fool like Ashikaga Yoshiaki.
But at this time, she had to be patient and speak her mind.
"The Oda family is the head of the Shiba family. His Highness Oda can definitely serve the shogunate as the acting official in charge."
Ashikaga Yoshiaki nodded, and a trace of amusement flashed in Oda Nobunaga's eyes. The method of Ise Sakyo was a typical shogunate's style.
She follows rules and knows how to adapt. She is worthy of being an old bureaucrat who has been immersed in shogunate politics for decades. She is proficient in following procedures and can always justify herself.
