Ise Sadakyo walked away, and could only admit that she was unlucky. She had cheated with a tiger, and her fate was not unjust. Instead of being humiliated here, it was better to go back and find another way.
She believed in her heart that Miyoshi Yoshitsugi wanted to use Ashikaga Yoshiteru as a puppet general and deliberately killed Ashikaga Teru to make her give up.
The Miyoshi family simply does not want to share the power of the shogunate with the Ise family. They are burning bridges across the river!
Because the general pressed too hard, all parties were forced to move closer to each other. As the Miyoshi family succeeded in going to Luo, Ashikaga Yoshiki's defeat was determined, and all parties in the alliance lost the basis for continued cooperation.
The trust between the three families, Miyoshi, Rokkaku, and Ise, is gone.
———
Seeing that the situation was not going well, Ise Sakyo turned around and left without any hesitation.
She was able to take things up and let them go, which made Matsunaga Hide both admired and fearful of this once powerful government official.
Matsunaga saw his mother looking at her leaving back with a gloomy look on her face, so he stepped forward and asked in a low voice.
"Mother, do you need me to lead troops to Ise Mansion to eradicate the root cause?"
Matsunaga looked at his daughter as if he were an idiot, feeling angry and helpless. Such an idiot is actually his own kind? Why didn't he realize that she was so stupid before?
She was so angry that she couldn't let it out, so she snorted and said.
"madness!
Ise Sakyo is cooperating with the Miyoshi family on behalf of the shogunate. Even if the two sides break up, the decision should be made by Miyoshi Yoshitsugu. How can we overstep our authority?
The imperial palace was destroyed, and neither the imperial palace nor Ashikaga Teru-kun survived.
If something unexpected happens to the Ise Sakyo again, how can we explain to His Highness Miyoshi Yoshitsugu of Kamiro? The ministers will also panic. How will this chaos in Kyoto end?
Use your brain more when doing things, and think carefully about how you want to end it before taking action!"
Matsunaga's heart was bitter, no matter how stupid her daughter was, it was still her fault. If she got into trouble, she would have to wipe her buttocks, and the future Matsunaga family would still have to be left in her hands.
Seeing that Matsunaga was submissive, Matsunaga was even more angry and asked with a sigh.
"When you planned to go to Luo, did His Highness Miyoshi Yoshitsugu leave you with any back-up to restrain Miyoshi and the others?"
Matsunaga was stunned for a moment and said sarcastically.
"How does Mother know?"
Matsunaga sneered.
"After His Highness Miyoshi Yoshiki succeeded to the throne, the three Miyoshi became more ambitious and occupied the two countries of Settsu and Tanba, confronting the main clan of Shikoku.
Now that the Tanba Kingdom has become independent, the Settsu Kingdom has been infiltrated by the clan. The three of them had no choice but to go to Luo, and signed a surrender certificate to return to the clan.
These three people were reluctant in the first place, and His Highness Miyoshi Yoshitsugu will of course want to prevent them from repeating themselves. If you march with them, His Highness Miyoshi Yoshitsugu will definitely let you supervise them."
After hearing his mother's analysis as if he saw it with his own eyes, Matsunaga nodded in admiration.
"You are right. His Highness Miyoshi Yoshitsugu left a seal painting for me. If the three of Miyoshi hesitate to move forward, I can force them to march.
It’s just that the three of them cooperated all the way, so they didn’t use it.”
Matsushita Nagasaki's heart turned over and over again, and he said in a deep voice.
"There will be some disobedience to military orders abroad. What if they refuse to recognize the seals, letters, and paintings, and refuse to obey?"
Matsunaga shook his head and confirmed.
"They must obey.
Before the troops were sent out, Lord Miyoshi Yasunaga of Sakai Port acted as an intermediary between the two sides and had already taken over the defense of Settsu Defense with troops from four countries.
The relatives and territories of each family of the Settsu clan below the Miyoshi clan are all under the protection of Miyoshi Yasucho.
His Highness Miyoshi Yoshitsugu has made it clear that he has no grudges and will forget the past. The three Miyoshis also vowed to obey His Highness and willingly serve as pioneers.
If they don't abide by this seal, the Ji warriors under their command will force them to obey, and they will not be able to regret it."
Matsunagahide nodded and understood that Miyoshi Yasunaga was in charge of the domestic situation in Settsu as a neutral faction, and all the relatives of Settsu people were in her hands.
Be obedient, and we will all be colleagues from now on. If you repeat it again, the whole family will die. For the sake of their own peace, the Settsu people will also force the three good people and the three people to obey.
Matsunaga showed a smile, she finally found a way out.
The Matsunaga family cannot bear the crime of harming the Ashikaga Shogun family. In this case, they ask the Miyoshi family to help carry it.
For the current plan, if you want to escape, you can only pour dirty water on the three of Sanhao and the other three people, dragging down the entire Sanhao family.
Matsunaga looked solemn and said to his daughter.
"Remember, you came to the Imperial Palace to obey the orders of the three good people."
The path of doubt is always passed through the pine tree.
"No, I listened to Honda Masanobu's suggestion and proposed it to the three of them myself..."
Matsunagahide cursed.
"Shut up!
Please listen clearly to me. It was the three good men and three others who ordered you to come! You did not attack the imperial palace. You saw the imperial tower on fire and went in to save people!
Do you understand!"
Seeing his mother's terrifying and destructive eyes, Matsunaga nodded tremblingly.
"Yes, it was ordered by the Sanhao trio. They asked me to attack the imperial palace, but I refused.
But I couldn't ignore the fire on the platform, so I had to rush in to put out the fire. Unfortunately, I couldn't save the Odaisho and His Highness Ashikaga Teru-kun."
Matsunaga's words became smoother and smoother as he spoke. It was as if his mind was enlightened and he fully understood his mother's intentions.
Matsunagahide nodded happily, his daughter was not that stupid and could still be saved.
Matsunaga thought for a while and asked.
"But this reason is untenable. Miyoshi and the others will definitely defend themselves to His Highness Miyoshi Yoshitsugu afterwards."
Matsuzong Nagahide snorted coldly.
"It doesn't matter how the Three Good Three People defend themselves, we must tell the truth to the world.
This truth was originally not meant for His Highness Miyoshi Yoshitsugu, but for the martial arts families in the world, do you understand that?"
Matsunaga is even more confused.
"We people speak softly, why don't people in the world believe what the Sanhao family says, but they believe what we say?
Besides, General Ashikaga will not let it go. She will definitely find out everything about the tragedy at the Imperial Palace afterwards."
Matsunaga smiled sinisterly and said slowly.
"People in the world may not believe us, but they will certainly not believe the Sanhao family, because the Sanhao family has committed an unforgivable heinous crime.
It's useless what the Sanhao family says. No one from the Wu family will believe what her family says.
As for the general? She can go underground and inquire about the truth on her own."
Matsunaga's words were like a gust of cold wind, making her daughter tremble all over.
Matsunaga swallowed, carefully looked around, and asked in a low voice.
"Mother, what do you mean..."
Matsunaga glanced at his daughter and said.
"Put your seal on the letter and send an envoy to Nijo Castle to give it to the three good men who besieged the city and order them to attack the city."
Matsunaga took a deep breath.
"What if they capture the general alive..."
Matsuzhisa grinned.
"In the past two years, I have been active in Kyoto and know the temperament of our Ashikaga General very well.
She will never be captured alive, she will defend her dignity with her life, she is actually a very good warrior Ji.
It's a pity that he is not suitable to be a general."
