Ashikaga Yoshiaki couldn't protect his own people, so Wada Yimasa simply took refuge in Oda Nobunaga and became a second-class boy. Niiki Yoshimasa still wanted to save face, so he went to Shiba's house to seek peace and stopped interfering.

Through the Tenchu ​​Incident, Akechi Mitsuhide eliminated the talented and loyal ministers in the shogunate in advance, weakening the Ashikaga family's ability to control the shogunate.

Ninagawa himself controls the political office, and Hatakeyama Takamasa serves as the administrator. Both of them are Shiba faction, so it would be good if they don't create obstacles for Ashikaga Yoshiaki, and there is no way they can help her.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki has been reduced to the point where he cannot even pay the wages of the Ashikaga Hui clan, so he can only rely on the two hundred years of power from the Ashikaga family to barely appease him.

Matsunaga pointed out the tragic situation of Ashikaga Yoshiaki, implying that he is not qualified to play the role of mediator and that someone has to step in to clean up the recent chaos.

Of course Mitsuhide Akechi knew the situation of Ashikaga Yoshiaki, but she just refused to let go and said.

"The ladies of the shogunate have been cared for by Ashikaga Shogun for two hundred years, how can they care about a temporary setback.

As the saying goes, the more you compare your position and salary, the narrower your mind will be. The more you talk about ethics, the higher your realm will be. Ashikaga horse returns to all the ladies, they must be sensible and grateful warriors, so there will be no problem."

Matsunaga knew that Mitsuhide Akechi was talking nonsense, but he could only laugh and compliment him.

"Since the country has been born, how can we avoid disaster? What Mingzhi Ji said is very consistent with my wishes.

It's just that there are too many lay people in the world. Those who are loyal to the shogunate and don't care about temporary gains and losses like you and me are, after all, a minority.

Therefore, most people still hope that an authoritative figure like Tsutado-don will come forward to stabilize the situation. Tsutado-don can also use this matter to bring back the shogunate's samurai family."

Akechi Mitsuhide shook his head and said.

“If we have to bother Tsuta-den with everything, wouldn’t the whole shogunate be regarded as useless by outsiders?

What’s more, the general personally agreed to Jindo-don’s original statement that he would retire from the residence and return to the throne. Isn’t it appropriate to invite Tsudo-don back now?”

Matsunaga Hide never let go when he saw Akechi Mitsuhide, and even brought up the conflict between Ashikaga Yoshiaki and Shiba Yoshigan, and had no choice but to give up.

"Akechi Ji is right."

Even Matsunaga Hide can’t see clearly. Whose side does Akechi Mitsuhide stand on?

She turned a blind eye to Ashikaga Yoshiaki's embarrassment. She looked on with a cold eye when Oda Nobunaga was beaten passively. When Shiba Yoshigan took this opportunity to expand his influence, she kept trying to push it away.
