On May 8th, the eleventh year of Eiroku, early summer quietly arrived at a brisk pace. Kyoto City was like a beautiful flower city decorated with flowers and green trees, making this ancient city exude vitality again, with the gurgling Kamo River
There are green trees on both sides, and flowers on both sides of Sanjo Bridge are fluttering in the wind. Pedestrians passing by can't help but stop and watch this beautiful scenery.
Recently, the atmosphere in Kyoto has become more and more weird. In the past, Kyoto would have been overcrowded at this time of year. Visitors from 66 countries around the world came here to travel and practice, to worship Zen, and to worship Buddha. This year, the situation seems not to be wonderful. Miyoshi
The invasion of Katsuryuji Castle across the river by the family's 15,000-strong army caused panic in Kyoto, and people began to speculate about the intentions of the new governor of the Miyoshi family.
The gate of Nijo Imperial Palace in Kyoto is deserted. In the past, all the dignitaries who often came to Nijo Imperial Palace avoided seeing them. The cunning wealthy businessmen of Kyoto used various reasons to retreat to their manors outside the city without showing their faces. Even those who stayed in Kyoto to seek connections with the shogunate
The samurai from far away countries are also scattered without a trace. The shogunate that used to be the center of attention has become a terrible place that people can't avoid. The only one hundred or so public samurai in the imperial palace are also panic-stricken, anxiously walking back and forth like a group of ants on a hot pot.
Non-stop.
Kamiizumi Hidetsuna looked at the setting sun on the horizon, frowned and said: "The evaluation meeting has been held for almost three hours. Several groups of waiters have been sent back to inquire about the meals. It seems that we have indeed encountered a problem."
Kaita Jingjian stood outside the Chang Imperial Palace with his hands folded across his chest, and asked doubtfully: "You guys look very nervous! I wonder why you are like this?"
"I heard that the Sanhao family is going to Luo."
Kage Kanata scratched his head with a puzzled look on his face: "This is even more strange. Didn't the Miyoshi family just go to Luo last year? His Highness the General even gave the Miyoshi Yoshitsugu a title, and also petitioned the imperial court for Dr. Sakyo to be appointed as an official.
What are you here for?"
"I don't know, I heard what others said." Hayazaki Jinsuke frowned and pondered while holding the sword in his hand. After a while, he stood still like a wooden stake. Kage Kane, who was familiar with him, shrugged helplessly, and finally cried and took a grass stick in his mouth.
Looking at the woods in the distance in a daze, I was still thinking about which wine shop I should go to for a drink in the evening.
Yagyu Zongyan and Shioka Kazuha were leaning against the pillars and chatting. When they heard the conversation between the two, they turned their heads: "I heard a saying when I was out of the city a few days ago. It seems that the Miyoshi family wants to make Awa's Hirashima
The Lord has been brought to Kyoto to serve as the new general of the Nijo Imperial Palace. I think His Majesty the General will probably get angry when he hears the news!"
"I heard from the maid in the backyard that a lot of rock sugar pear water has been used in the imperial palace recently. She must be angry! It's not easy to be a general!" Shioka Kazuha raised his head and shook his head, not showing any signs of nervousness.
Look.
Kagekan Watada grinned: "Oh! When did Kazuden realize such a profound truth? Did he get involved with that little maid?"
Shioka Kazuha quickly denied it: "Don't talk nonsense, I have nothing to do with him. Could it be that we got involved with the women in the imperial palace? I don't want my head anymore."
"That's true. I remember there is a crime called cheating as a chambermaid, right? If you are caught, your head will most likely be cut off." Kagekan Uda touched his chin and sighed: "It's a pity that these beautiful flowers can't be seen.
Not being able to touch really makes people angry.”
Yagyu Soyan chuckled: "Not to mention, Jing Kanden has been hanging out at the Whale House a lot lately, right? I often see you staggering back in the middle of the night. Did we meet each other in some Whale House?
A woman?"
"Don't talk nonsense. I, Kagekane, just went to the bar for a drink. I can't go to such a disturbing place as the Whale House. Indulging in women's sex will ruin your swordsmanship practice... Besides, I already have a wife at home."
His excuses only became darker and darker, and several people teased him with ulterior motives, making him wisely keep his mouth shut.
"The meeting is over!" Kamiizumi Hidetsuna turned around and looked at the closed door of the Imperial Palace. The door opened, and the shogunate ministers filed out one by one with heavy faces. There was no trace of the previous chic and elegant look on their faces, and their footsteps were messy.
He passed by several swordsmen in panic without even raising his head.
"Lu Yu pretended not to see. Who is that person?" Kaeda Kaikan muttered a few words. He caught a glimpse of his old acquaintance Settsu Haruto who was the last one to come out and greeted him: "Thank you for your hard work, Harumon-den. It must be hard to hold such a long meeting."
! Why not go to a wine shop and sit down for a while, drink some wine, relax and relieve stress."
Settsu Haruto has no other hobbies, he just likes to get a small bottle of sake and drink it by himself every day. There are many people in the Gosho who are good at drinking sake but they don’t drink much every day. Keikane Uda happens to be one of them. It was just an accidental opportunity.
After meeting in a bar outside Nijo Imperial Palace, the two samurai, whose status was a little different, gradually became close drinking buddies.
People who usually hear that they can't walk when they drink alcohol, today had a sad look on their face and said with a forced smile: "Jing Jiandian and your highnesses have also worked hard. I have been busy recently and can't drink for the time being. Let's talk about it when we have time."
For the first time, a drinking buddy with whom he was close refused the invitation and hurriedly left. Jingtian scratched his head and looked confused: "I always feel that something is not right with everyone. What is going on? If you think about it carefully, it seems that there is only one rumor about Miyoshi's house in Shangluo.
, but this family has been to Luo so many times, so it’s not unusual to come again! Is it really what the rumors say..."
Yagyu Sogan interjected: "Support the Hirashima Lord as a shogun! The Miyoshi family wants to support the Hirashima Ashikaga family of Awa Kingdom."
"Can you believe this rumor? There are also rumors that His Highness Kōkōta is the reincarnation of a god and Buddha!" Kage Kaeda, sitting on the steps of the corridor with a sword in his arms, boasted: "I met His Highness Kōkōga's swordsmanship in Kanto, and it is indeed like the legend.
It's not very powerful like that! I, Jing Jian, don't dare to boast about how powerful I am, at least I can deal with two or three swordsman like His Highness Gongfang without any problem."
Shioka Kazuha curled his lips and said: "You are just bragging. I have also seen His Highness Gongfang's swordsmanship. Compared to swordsmen like us who have been practicing swordsmanship for more than 20 years, it is slightly inferior, but His Highness Gongfang is tall and has long arms."
Jinghe has a lot of experience. How can you deal with two or three of them? They will definitely swarm you and chop you with swords."
"Hey! I'm just saying this. How dare I make an analogy with His Highness Gongfang himself? I'm just talking about swordsmanship based on the matter! With such swordsmanship in the hands of leaders like you and me, you can't handle three or two people?"
"That's hard to say. Competing skills can't reflect the true level. What should I do if a real sword duel is launched..." The two started arguing about swordsmanship, and the topic went off the rails.
"Stop arguing. Shuga Saiden and Kuniyoshiden are back." Yagyu Sogan pointed at the two Shinin-ryu swordsmen who were walking in the dust. The two men were ordered to go to Edo Castle to seek information from the Kanto Shogunate.
Support, it took four months to return from the first day of the new year, which made several samurai wait anxiously. Fortunately, they finally came back.
The two men stepped forward to pay their respects to their master, Kamiizumi Hidetsuna. After a brief exchange of words, they learned about the instructions they had brought upon their return from Edo. It turned out that they had been delayed in Edo Castle for so long because they were undergoing a simple training trial by Tsukahara Fuden at the Kendo Hall. No swordsman is willing to give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so the return trip will be delayed for more than a month.
Kaida Kagekan said enviously: "I can't believe that you two are so lucky! If I had known, I would have been the one to take the lead! Isn't that helpful?"
"My dream is to train under the disciples of Tsukahara Bodenden." Hayasaki Jinsuke nodded his head, and the warriors smiled.
Okuyama Yugasai said: "His Highness Kōkōta's instructions are to protect the safety of the shogunate's family members, and to act cheaply when necessary. I think His Highness Kōkōta is hinting at preventing the occurrence of certain special situations."
This Okuyama Kyuugasai is not his real name. His original name is Okuhira Sadakuni. He comes from the Okuhira clan, the leader of the Mikawa Kingdom. He is the seventh brother of the current leader Okuhira Sadakatsu. Because he became a disciple of Kamiizumi Hidetsuna at a very early age and his qualifications are very old. The self-made Okuyama Kageryu is also considered a major branch of the Shinin-ryu. The weight of the words may not be greater than that of Kagekane Uzuda who started at a young age, Sogan Yagyu who became a monk in Kyoto and became a monk on the way, and Kazuha Shioka who is not a member of the Shinin-ryu system. How much difference.
Komagawa Kuniyoshi is much inferior. The seventeen-year-old shy boy is nine years younger than Hayazaki Jinsuke. If he didn't have outstanding swordsmanship talent, he might not be qualified to appear in the circle of these great swordsmen. This shy boy is said to be studying The self-created Komagawa changed his mind and had secretly tried it out with Hayashizaki Jinsuke many times. The two who were closest in age seemed to have become close friends.
A large group of masters and disciples of the Shinin-ryu sect gathered. Shioka Kazuha was an outsider and he didn't feel embarrassed. Just because he was the disciple of Kashima Sword Master Tsukahara Fuden, he could make people look at him a few times, not to mention his Backstage is the ancestor of the Nakajo-ryu revival, Nakajo Dewa Tokihide, who guards Sakamoto. His own swordsmanship can also stabilize the front line of Sukada Kagekane, which is almost the same as Yagyu Munegan, who has made a breakthrough in swordsmanship, and Okuyama Yukasai. Probably on the same level as the two of them.
Kagekan Uzuda is almost on the level of Fuyoshi Kaden. Those who are worse than him are not considered masters of the sect. Those who are better than him must be the master of the sect. If he can work harder and be more serious, he may be able to compete with him. The first few people are almost the same. For example, Marume Nagae, who returned to Kyushu last year, has good talent and is more diligent than him. He seems to have the qualifications to start a sect. It is said that he plans to open a dojo when he returns to Kyushu to officially teach disciples, which will make Kagekan Sukada envious. For quite a while.
A few years ago, when Uizumi Hidetsuna came to Nijo Imperial Palace to demonstrate Shinin-ryu swordsmanship to Ashikaga Yoshiki, the younger Marume Nagae was given the task of demonstrating how to use tachi in the swordsmanship. The lazy Sukida Keikane thought he refused this The mission was a good thing, but Ashikaga Yoshiki was so happy that he wrote a letter of appreciation to the master and apprentice on the spot. However, it made Sukada Kagekane so angry that he almost felt regretful.
Swordsmen are probably one of the simplest groups in this era. They are called warriors but seldom take care of other things. Scholar monks also need to be busy imparting knowledge and performing diplomacy. Swordsmen only need to play with the things they like. , this is also the main reason why many warriors flock to join it.
Kagekan Hida yawned and suddenly said: "Hey! I remembered a rumor a few days ago. It was said that Mr. Hirashima seemed to have a physical problem, so the Miyoshi family stayed put."
"You've heard so many rumors in the market. Didn't you still believe it just now?"
"That's true...but I always feel that this rumor is not as nonsense as those rumors..."
Unknowingly, the sun had quietly set, and only a few rooms in the Nijo Imperial Palace were still lit by candlelight. Ashikaga Yoshiki sat in the quiet room and stared at the hundreds of tachi in a daze, and reached out for the famous tachi Doji-kiri, which is famous all over the world.
An Gang slowly pulled out the sharp blade, revealing his thin and slender face as smooth as a mirror.
The swordsman general sighed quietly: "After five hundred years, the sword is still as bright as new. It is true that the sword is more reliable than people."
There is a stack of letter paper placed in front of Ashikaga Yoshiki's seat. You can vaguely see the handwriting of the iron painted silver hook on the letter paper. It seems to be a letter of advice sent by Ashikaga Yoshiki to the shogun. It seems that the thick stack is what Ashikaga Yoshiki said.
Three types of letters were sent to the shogun through different channels. This letter of advice did not seem to impress Ashikaga Yoshiteru. There was always something wrong with his expression and attitude.
Pulling out a stack of white silk and gently wiping the smooth sword, the cold light in his eyes flashed with anger, and he said: "A turmoil is about to break out in Kyoto. The Miyoshi family may have a rebellious heart. I respectfully ask Yu Dong to kill Sakamoto... The high-sounding words are true.
That sounds good. Why do you have to send them here in three copies? Are you so afraid that I will falsely accuse you of being a loyal minister?"
"Or do you want to detain Yu in Sakamoto Castle and hold the general hostage to command the world?" Ashikaga Yoshiki frowned and thought for a while before rejecting this ridiculous possibility.
Not to mention how far the distance between Kanto and Kinai is, even if you go to Sakamoto, you may not be detained. There are powerful samurai stationed on all sides of Kinai, and just across the mountain is the Miyoshi family who controls Kyoto. Even if the general is detained, there is no way to fall into it.
Ashikaga Yoshitoki is in control. What's more, detaining the shogun will not have much effect on the Kanto government. He already has the status to compete for the general, so why bother to go through the formalities to do such a stupid thing.
"Then what does he mean? Do you want me to leave Kyoto in the hope that the authority of the shogunate will fall and the reputation of the Kanto government will be restored?" Ashikaga Yoshiki looked around blankly, wondering if what he was thinking was correct.
, most people who are insecure are like this, they are suspicious, like to think wildly, and lack a basic sense of trust.
Ashikaga Yoshiteru's childhood life was very bad. From the time he was born in March of the fifth year of the Astronomical Year to the end of the fifteenth year of the Astronomical Year, when he succeeded his father Ashikaga Yoshiharu as the General of Japan, Ashikaga Yoshiteru's life in these ten years can simply be described as miserable.
He followed his father to escape to the resort town of Sakamoto every now and then. Calculating, the time he spent in Sakamoto and another resort town, Kuchikidani, was longer than he stayed in Kyoto.
From the time he was born until Ashikaga Yoshitoki came to Kyoto from Mikawa Kamiro, the shogunate successively experienced Hosokawa Harukuni, Kizawa Nagamasa, Hosokawa Harumoto, Hosokawa Ujitsuna, Yusa Nagakaku, and Miyoshi Nagasaki in the past ten years.
The turmoil provoked by Qing and other groups, and the interlacing evidence made the general's attitude erratic. At one point, he didn't know which famous name to bet on.
The harsh living environment has created Ashikaga Yoshiteru's paranoid character of being insecure and not trusting anyone. He likes to be arbitrary but lacks sufficient foresight. Every time he makes a major decision in these years, it is always difficult to get good results. He should be promoted to Ashikaga Yoshiteru.
It can be regarded as one of the most glorious things in his life.
The more proud he was, the angrier he became. He always felt that when he trusted Ashikaga Yoshi so much, he gave him five exemptions such as his family name, guardianship, and sashimi. He even promoted him to a member of the Ashikaga Shogun family and granted him permission.
He served as the official commander of Kantō and ordered Dongguo, and he paid so much for him, but in the end he sent a letter lightly. It was three letters sent from different channels, as if he was afraid that others would not know his Ashikaga justice and wrote to advise him.
of.
"Hypocrisy! It's just those high-sounding words, but it's so sanctimonious at heart that it's disgusting! If I hadn't been deterred by Yu Nafeng's imperial letter, he might have gone to Kinai to do his own thing!" Ashikaga Yoshiki radiated violence wantonly, scolding
He became more and more cruel and even described him as a villain of the Ashikaga family. Just like his ancestor Ashikaga Takauji made a similar comment.
In recent months, the situation at the Nijo Imperial Palace has been very bad. The Miyoshi family's restrictions on the seven people in Kyoto have become more and more strict day by day. Some of the Kyoto security tax collection rights originally controlled by the shogunate have been gradually deprived of them. The military changes of the Miyoshi family have been blatantly demonstrated.
Attitude, the situation of the dignified shogun is already very dangerous.
The more worried and fearful the Miyoshi family's military strength was, the more Luo controlled and abolished Tatetsu, the more the strong-willed Kokata hated Ashikaga Yoshitoki. He hated him for secretly pursuing Echigo for his own sake instead of staying in Kyoto to support the shogunate. He hated him for sitting in Kanto.
The territories of more than a dozen countries turned a deaf ear to the military threat of the Miyoshi family. What's more, he allowed the riot in Kyoto to break out but refused to let Yamamoto Tokiyuki invade Kyoto and turn the tide.
In his view, the relationship between monarch and ministers should be infinitely closer to the superior-subordinate relationship between the emperor and ministers of the Ming Dynasty. The swordsman general read poetry and books in his spare time while practicing swordsmanship, especially Zhu Zi, a scholar of the Ming Dynasty.
He was quite accomplished in Neo-Confucianism and once regarded Ashikaga Yoshitoki as Han Xin and Li Jing of the shogunate. Unfortunately, he found out that Ashikaga Yoshitoki really planned to learn from Han Xin and become a "king" on his own, not to mention how annoying and awkward he felt.
Zhu Zixue was a standard aristocratic doctrine in the Muromachi period. It was circulated among high-ranking ministers and samurai families. It was regarded as a conversation piece at a banquet. Its function was just like the scholars of the Ming Dynasty who occasionally brought up some foreign rumors as a conversation piece to brag about.
The same thing has not yet been treated as a way of governing the country.
It is understandable to look at Ashikaga Yoshitoki's behavior from the perspective of the world. After being rewarded, Tadashi-kun is in line with the current evaluation standards of Yoshikage, but in the eyes of Kōge-kun, what he did is not enough. For Kinai's
The intervention was half-hearted and procrastinating but failed to show real ability. When the Kinai Three Kingdoms Alliance was founded, it immediately withered away. It turned out to be a treacherous villain who was only interested in profit.
Ashikaga Yoshiteru will not consider how many difficulties Ashikaga Yoshitoki encountered in Echigo and Kanto, let alone how difficult it was to fight against the anti-Kira siege. What he sees and hears with his eyes and ears is always that Ashikaga Yoshitoki is invincible.
All attacks were invincible. He crushed the glorious lords of the Hokuriku, Kanto, and Uō roads all the way.
When it was Kyoto's turn, it turned out to be a completely different story. It was like a spineless coward who asked for more work and lacked responsibility. He killed thousands of people in Luozhonghe and asked for rewards from the shogunate. What if he was
What's the use of having Ashikaga and Yoshitomo when you have them? A minister should be brave enough to take responsibility at critical moments. Why can't he pay for the reward out of his own pocket? The large area of Kanto has been conquered by more than a dozen countries. How can he let him shed some blood?
So difficult.
Under the influence of many factors, Ashikaga Yoshiteru became more and more disgusted with Ashikaga Yoshitoki, who was domineering in Kanto. Since the riot in Kyoto broke out in recent years due to the inheritance turmoil caused by the shogun's heirlessness, Konoe Maekyu and his wife Konoe
Kenko once made a proposal, asking him to agree to adopt Ashikaga Yoshitoki's eldest son as the shogun's heir. This proposal was strongly supported by most of the shogunate ministers, including the general public.
This once made Ashikaga Yoshiteru mistakenly believe that everyone around him had been bribed by Ashikaga Yoshitoki's money to become insiders. In addition, his various negative influences on the Kanto Ashikaga family made Ashikaga Yoshiteru act arrogant and rude with little thought.
He really couldn't imagine how arrogant that guy would be when the eldest son of Ashikaga Yoshitoki became the heir to the Shogun, and he couldn't tolerate this arrogant and domineering guy secretly usurping the bloodline of the Ashikaga Shogun family.
Ashikaga Yoshitoki, who was far away in Edo, probably never dreamed that General Swordsman had such deep resentment towards him. He was so petty in writing a letter of remonstrance and told it to the world, but was punished by the even more petty Ashikaga Yoshiteru.
Remember the grudge and take the opportunity to interpret his entire image as a greedy and hypocritical scum of the Wu family. It might be more exciting if he knew the truth.
It was getting brighter the next day, and Ashikaga Yoshiteru held an evaluation meeting in the Imperial Palace to continue the difficult problems that had not been discussed with results yesterday. His sworn brother, Hosokawa Haruyuki, who had combed Ashikaga Yoshiteru's hair when he was in Yuanfu, spoke out.
: "Last night's news, Haniden personally consulted Mr. Awa in Sakai Town. It was determined that Mr. Awa had suffered a severe stroke and would never have the chance to stand up and walk in this life."
Isshiki Fujinaga said: "I have heard a rumor. It is said that last year, Lord Awa secretly left Zhou Fangguo Yamaguchikan and returned to Awa Kingdom Pingdao. It was because some powerful retainers in Miyoshi's family promised that Lord Awa could succeed the general of the conquest of barbarians. The two
A few months ago, the Miyoshi family's sudden change caused an uproar in Kyoto. Lord Awa came to Sakai Town in person, but within three days he suffered a stroke, which was due to his great joy."
Mitsumasa Ishitani, a member of Yu Xiaoxiu Yufanzhong, said: "This is not just a rumor. If it were not a samurai who had personally experienced this, it would definitely not be possible to make it up! In this way, it is considered that Lord Awa is benevolent and benevolent."
The ministers laughed loudly and happily, and some even whispered to each other and compiled jokes about Lord Awa. Mibuchi Fujihide noticed that Ashikaga Yoshiteru still looked unhappy, so he comforted him: "Your Highness, please be at ease. I think that
The Miyoshi family does not dare to take drastic measures against the shogunate, after all, the shogunate is here in Kanto."
It would have been fine if he didn't mention Ashikaga Gi. The mention of this name made him get angry. He turned away angrily and ignored the advice of his close ministers. He, a dignified general, had to look at Lian Zhizhong's face before he could secure his seat in Kyoto.
For the strong-willed father-in-law who has huge self-esteem, this is nothing less than a huge humiliation.
Haru Haru, a concubine of the Gao family and a member of the shogunate Shinji, said bluntly: "His Royal Highness Kōkata clearly knows that the changes in the Sanhao family today are by no means a temporary move. He will definitely not give up easily just because Kōkō Awa is seriously ill and difficult to move. As far as I know, Awa
The prince has two sons, the eldest son Ashikaga Yoshichichi and the second son Ashikaga Yoshichiro, both of whom can be supported as puppets in succession, which is a huge threat to the shogunate."
The ministers present here pretended to be stupid for a long time but still couldn't get around this threshold. As a commoner, Ashikaga Yoshimi was Ashikaga Yoshiteru's uncle. Although the uncle and nephew had never met each other, they deeply hoped that the other would die soon.
But this layer of kinship is always an inseparable bond, and it is an undisputed fact that Ashikaga Yoshimi is the closest collateral bloodline to the Ashikaga Shogun family.
"Is it true that I support those two younger brothers?" Ashikaga Yoshiteru was so angry that he kept banging on the tatami to vent his anger. If he wasn't angry about a major event related to the throne of the shogun, then it can only be said that he is really not suitable for this great conquest.
General.
The Awa Ashikaga clan of Hirashima Kōkō is the most recent branch of the Ashikaga Shogun family. The first kōkō was Ashikaga Yoshiki who was paralyzed by a stroke. The departure of Hirashima Kōkō’s family was regarded as a major concern for the Ashikaga Shogun family because he had been the leader for more than seventy years.
The previous Ming Dynasty coup ushered in the beginning of the dethronement of the establishment. Ashikaga Yoshiumi replaced Ashikaga Yoshiharu, the direct line shogun, as a common family member. Hosokawa Harumoto also followed the same example and promoted Ashikaga Yoshivi, a common family member, in an attempt to replace the direct line general Ashikaga Yoshiharu.
The general's throne.
In a sense, substituting concubines for direct descendants can be regarded as subduing superiors. However, this can usually be treated as a dispute within the family. The so-called substitution of strong branches and weak stems is relatively common in the development process of any civilization. It is as far as two people.
The Quwo Daiyi that occurred in the Spring and Autumn Period of the Central Plains Dynasty thousands of years ago is as recent as the direct lineage of the Satomi clan being replaced by Satomi Yiyao, Satomi Yiyao and his son a few decades ago.
What's even more ridiculous is that the surname Claudia was born in, the York family that ruled England decades ago, was replaced by the Tudor family, which has no relatives. This blood relationship comes from the half-father relationship.
The Tudor family also openly combined the white roses of the York family and the red roses of the Lancaster family into a red and white Tudor rose. This shows that this behavior of the concubines and the direct descendants competing for heirs is very easy to understand.
There are reasons why this behavior of common people replacing direct descendants can be generally understood and supported. One of them is that they come from the same aristocratic system with the same ancestors. They naturally have a high degree of maintenance of the existing system, that is, changing to common people.
General, please continue to do whatever you are supposed to do, without worrying about retaliation or being purged.
There is a precedent for Ashikaga Shogun's family to be replaced by a concubine. Ashikaga Takauji's time when a concubine was replaced by a concubine instead of a concubine, there was some special reason. Ashikaga Yosumi's substitution of a concubine for a concubine was due to human manipulation with ulterior motives. Regardless of special circumstances or ulterior motives, it will always give the world a bad impression. Since
Why can't there be a third or even more times if it's twice? This is called the origin. Once you start it for the first time, you can start it the second time and countless times without restraint.
Every time a dispute breaks out in the Ashikaga Shogun family, the authority of the shogunate will be greatly weakened. If the competition between Ashikaga Yoshitsugu, the Duke of Anaya, and Ashikaga Yoshinori, the fourth shogun, is just an appetizer, Ashikaga Yoshitsune and the Ashikaga Mochi clan are
The bloody battle for the shogunate's throne was the first weakening of the shogunate.
Later, Ashikaga Yoshimasa's stupid mistake caused his legitimate son and his younger brother to fight for the heir and cause the Onin Rebellion, which was the second weakening. Later, in the Ming Dynasty coup, Ashikaga Yoshisai was deposed and Ashikaga Yosumi was established as a common heir.
There is a bigger third weakening. The most recent one was Ashikaga Yoshiharu, who represented the direct line more than thirty years ago, and Ashikaga Yoshivi, who represented the common line, collided with each other. This is the fourth weakening.
The crisis at hand will be the fifth weakening, and the authority of the Ashikaga Shogun family is getting weaker and weaker. If it continues to be weakened, you can guess that it will definitely not have good results.
PS: I bow to thank my book friend Xiao Zimu for the reward. I forgot it yesterday and will make it up today.
