Hosokawa Fujitaka opened his eyes, stepped out of the queue, bowed and said.
"How can the unscrupulous people in the castle town be able to slander the great imperial palace!"
Ise Sakyo plays opposite her.
"Futaka, you don't understand.
People's words are terrible, and everyone's words are worth their weight in gold. The Kyoto Incident has shaken the prestige of the Shogun's family. If this rumor is not handled well, I'm afraid..."
Before Ise Sadakyu finished speaking, Hosokawa Fujitaka had already kowtowed to the ground and said categorically.
"Those are all rumors!
How can Mr. Ise spread rumors about the castle town and slander the Odaisho for the sake of the reputation of the Shogun's family! I have great admiration for the Odaisho and I cannot agree with your opinion!"
Admiration? As soon as Hosokawa Fujitaka said these words, the first person who could not help but feel embarrassed was her mother, Hosokawa Motonsune.
It's okay to say you admire or love him. It's too frivolous to say that he admires Dai Odaisho in public!
Hosokawa Fujitaka pretended to blurt out his words unintentionally and expressed his feelings with a look of panic on his face.
Hosokawa Motonsune stared hard at his troublemaking daughter, and his heart was filled with turmoil. This little beast definitely didn't make a mistake, she did it on purpose!
Si Boyi, who was on the throne, had a silver face as cold as frost, and he understood clearly in his heart.
It turns out that you are the back-up man of Ise Sakyo! Hosokawa Fujitaka, you are so evil, aren’t you?
At this time, Yoshigan finally understood what Ise Sadakyo was planning to do.
Ashikaga Yoshiaki represents the Ashikaga General, Ise Sadakyo uses the murder case to unite the ministers, and now Hosokawa Fujitaka jumps out.
The three major forces within the shogunate are almost united to put pressure on themselves.
Outside the shogunate, Tokugawa Asai took over, Oda Nobunaga broke with Yoshihiro Shiba, and had a tacit understanding with Ashikaga Yoshiaki.
Yiyin's heart felt cold, as if there was a noose around his neck, gradually tightening.
Hosokawa Fujitaka made a mistake in public, which confirmed her admiration for him. Her show of love seemed to be helping her, but in fact she was doing something for Ashikaga Yoshiaki.
The ambiguous stance of the Hosokawa Mibuchi family was finally broken, and they sided with Ashikaga Yoshiaki.
Yoshigan looked at Ise Sakyo, she also had a shocked look on her face, her acting was quite realistic. Looking at Ashikaga Yoshiaki, this one's acting was even worse, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he was smiling faintly.
Ashikaga Yoshiaki slapped the document and cursed.
"How dare you say such inappropriate things in public!"
Hosokawa Fujitaka knelt down in fear and said.
"My minister made a mistake and was in a moment of impatience.
The nonsense in the castle town tortures my heart day and night. I am sure about Odaisuo... How can I want to see him humiliated by a pariah?"
At this time, Mibuchi Fujihide hurriedly came out of the queue and knelt beside Hosokawa Fujitaka.
"Master Gongfang calms down his anger, and the Great Royal Tower calms down his anger.
Fujitaka did not mean to blaspheme Odaisho. She has truly loved her for many years, but she has always kept it hidden in her heart. It is true love, not wanton nonsense."
Seeing Mibuchi Fujie jump out, Hosokawa Motonsune's heart was completely cold. She stared at Hosokawa Fujitaka who was pretending to be frightened and uneasy, and her teeth itched with hatred.
Mibuchi Fujihide is stupid! She was deceived by the cunning sister Hosokawa Motonsune, so she jumped out to block the knife at this time.
Hosokawa Motonsune thought about Hosokawa Fujitaka's behavior these days, and the more she thought about it, the more something was wrong. She must have secretly reached an agreement with Ashikaga Yoshiaki to drag the entire Hosokawa Mibuchi family into trouble.
As for Mibuchi Fujihide, this idiot, she was blinded by the piece of honey from Fushimi Castle and let her sister do the calculation without even realizing it.
Hosokawa Motonsune's face was ashen, but what's the use? The heirs of Hosokawa Mibuchi's two families came forward at the same time, and Hosokawa Motonsune jumped into Lake Biwa and couldn't be cleared.
At this point, the Hosokawa Mibuchi family wants to remain neutral, and Shiba Yiyin will no longer trust the two families.
Hosokawa Motonsune could only bite the bullet and remain silent, follow Hosokawa Fujitaka's rhythm and see if her adventure could succeed.
Ashikaga Yoshiaki was furious, Shiba Yoshigan looked on with cold eyes, and Ise Sakyo persuaded him.
"Mr. Gongfang, although Fujitaka is reckless, she is indeed infatuated.
As far as I know, when Odaisho first arrived in Kyoto, Mibuchi Haruhan-sama was very fond of him and even betrothed him to Fujitaka."
Ashikaga Yoshiaki pretended to be shocked and said blankly.
"If this happened, wouldn't it be my sister..."
Sibo Yiyin was furious and glanced at several people with cold eyes, feeling sick in his heart.
In order to create the illusion that Hosokawa Fujitaka and Shiba Yoshigan were engaged beforehand, these people had already disregarded the honor of Ashikaga Yoshiteru, their ancestor.
Yoshigan thought that his plan with Hatakeyama Takamasa was a bit shameless before, but now it seems that he is not worthy of it! These people are even more shameless!
Ise Sadakya shook his head and said.
"It was just a verbal appointment, but Miyoshi Changqing was delayed in going to Luo. Odaisuo, do you still remember this matter?"
Yiyin said coldly.
"Mibuchi Haruman-sama did mention something to me."
Ashikaga Yoshiaki sighed.
"That's it, alas.
That’s all, since Fujitaka made an unintentional mistake, I won’t pursue it anymore.”
Hosokawa Fujitaka and Mibuchi Fujihide bowed to thank the general, and Ise Sadakyu said as if he had a flash of inspiration.
"I suddenly had an idea that might be able to clear up the rumors in the castle town and endanger the reputation of the Ashikaga Shogun family."
Yoshigan laughed angrily, this bastard made the rumors in the castle town bigger and bigger. It turned out that he wanted to implicate the reputation of the Ashikaga Shogun family. Then her purpose was clearly visible.
Yiyin sneered and said.
"Ise Sakyo!
Are you going to say next that Hosokawa Fujitaka is sincere, so why not help her?
By doing this, the rumors in the castle town will not endanger the reputation of the Ashikaga Shogun family, and Hosokawa Fujitaka will be able to get what he wants, right?"
Yoshigan called him by his name, as if his face was broken. However, Ise Sadakyo said with a loving face like an elder.
"Odaisu, I am also thinking about you.
The ancestors died young and there are successors to the Ashikaga family, but what should the Shiba family do? The Izumi-Hosokawa family is the Hosokawa branch family, and their bloodline, family character, and status are worthy of you."
Seeing the kindness on her face and her seemingly wholehearted plans for him, Yiyin felt even more hateful.
What the hell, you are the bastard who united with the Miyoshi family to go to Luo and killed Ashikaga Yoshiteru. How can you have the nerve to mention her? How can you pretend to be okay?
Ise Sadakyo ignored Yoshigin's ugly face and kept talking to himself.
"Ottawa, I have a sentence that is not in line with etiquette, but as an elder, I have to advise you as a person who has been through it.
You are still young and have no children yet, and there is still a long way to go in the future. You will not be happy if you always dwell on the past.
For your happiness and the continuation of the Sibo family, please put aside worldly constraints and pursue a new life.
I believe that this is also the hope of Lord Gongfang and our ministers. We all hope that you can be happy."
Ise Sadaka showed false feelings, Hosokawa Fujitaka's eyes turned red, but his true feelings were revealed, and he kowtowed to the ground.
"Odaisho, please give me a chance, I will definitely make you happy!"
A performance reached its climax, and the atmosphere in the entire meeting hall was strange. Everyone looked at Shiba Yiyin silently.
The Ashikaga shogun's family, ministers, and local powerful factions joined forces to force the palace. They expressed concern on the lips, but felt extremely dirty in their hearts.
Yiyin glanced at their faces one by one. The somewhat conscientious Wu family did not dare to look at him and lowered their heads silently.
He felt desolate in his heart. This was the shogunate he wanted to maintain wholeheartedly.
It's obviously a run-down house that will fall down if pushed, but everyone is opening their eyes and pretending not to see. Do they know what they are doing?
Oda Nobunaga is watching Tofukuji Temple with eager eyes, and he may be laughing at this moment.
Yiyin's mind is getting colder and colder. This is the status quo that he wants to maintain. He insists on going his own way and wants to avoid seeing turmoil in his lifetime, which seems to collapse.
Are these people worthy? Do they deserve his protection? In his heart, Yoshigami said sorry to Ashikaga Yoshiteru.
I'm sorry, I really can't hold it anymore. It's not that I don't try my best to protect you, it's just that your sister is too bastard.
To be continued...
