Ashikaga Yoshiki, who was immersed in sadness and frustration, was finally completely angered by the actions of the Miyoshi family. He once wanted to endure hardships for his family, but who knew that Miyoshi Yoshitsugi actually dared to kill the king and exterminate the clan.
She is strong-willed by nature, but she has always lived in an aggrieved political compromise. Thinking of the everlasting fire in the imperial palace, and thinking of her father and younger brother taking the first step, she finally couldn't help but burst out.
Glancing at the hesitant public servants, Ashikaga Yoshiteru said.
"You all should leave. It is my incompetence in governing that has caused you to be worried.
Today's battle involves death or life. I don't want to bring you to death if you are a king or a minister.
The target of the Mihaoshi family is me, and if you take the secret passage, there is always a chance of escaping."
Ashikaga Yoshiki is at the end of his rope, and his words are less harsh than before and more sincere.
The ladies present burst into tears when they heard this, and Feng Gong, who had persuaded Ashikaga Yoshiteru to compromise, was filled with guilt and knelt on the ground.
"Master Gongfang! Please don't say that!
It is my arrogance and ignorance, and my ignorance of the ambitions of the Sanhao family, that have brought shame on you. After today, I will commit hara-kiri to wash away your shame.
I just have one more thing to say, please adopt it!
The Miyoshi family will never dare to hurt you, things have not reached the worst point yet. You are a rich man and the hope of the Ashikaga family. You must not have the thought of committing suicide, General!"
This man is truly brave and loyal, and he speaks out boldly.
Women are no more respected in the world than men, and children have to be born on their own. The Ashikaga family is the master of the world, but in fact they don’t have many descendants.
Ashikaga Yoshiteru is still young, has not yet married, has any heirs, and has no designated heir. Once something happens to her, and the direct lineage of the Miyoshi family is wiped out in Kamiyoshi, what will happen to the Ashikaga family in the future?
The Ashikaga Shogun family, which had ruled the world for two hundred years, was destroyed like this? The samurai family values the family name above all else. The most important thing Ashikaga Yoshiteru should do now is to find ways to survive.
Even if he is captured alive by the Miyoshi family, he should endure the humiliation and bear the burden and endure it for the continuation of the Ashikaga family.
It's a pity that her general is not a mature politician, but a fierce swordsman.
Ashikaga Yoshiki shook his head and said firmly.
“From the first day I became Ashikaga Shogun, everyone taught me patience, how to compromise, how to balance, and how to take the overall situation into consideration.
But no one has ever told me, how long do I have to endure? I have always compromised in my life, but today, I refuse.
I will not compromise with the rebels who burned the imperial palace! I will not compromise with the thieves who trampled on the dignity of the Ashikaga family! Let alone the murderer who murdered my father and brother!
Today, I will fight them till the end until death!"
Ashikaga Yoshiki finished speaking in a deep voice and glanced at the public present.
"Let's go! I will fight and die here for the dignity of the Ashikaga family!"
The kneeling Feng Gong trembled all over and looked up at Ashikaga Yoshiki. She suddenly laughed and looked relieved.
"Kongkata-sama, please let me die with you. I beg you to give me this honor and die for the dignity of the Ashikaga family!"
She kowtowed to the ground, and all the ladies present followed her. Only Yukino Takada, who was sitting in the corner of the room, was in a daze, looking out of place.
Ashikaga Yoshiki laughed loudly and waved his hands with pride.
"Go! Go and call everyone over! We will meet the enemy here!
Go! Go and bring all the swords in my collection! Today I am going to kill a lot of people!"
The public bowed and saluted together, and then cheered up and acted individually. Call everyone to gather at Ninomaru, and carry the swords, guns, and carcasses to this place.
Ashikaga Yoshiki looked at them busy with a smile. Takada Yukino walked up to her and knelt down beside her.
The general looked at it and asked.
"This is the meeting hall. If you dare to sit next to the main seat, it is an act of transgression."
Takada Yukino tilted her head and said doubtfully.
"You just said, meet the enemy here."
"Yes, Not Bad."
"If I want to protect you, I must stay close."
Ashikaga Yoshiki looked at her seriously, and even though he was in a bad mood, he still couldn't help laughing.
"Protect me? There are thousands of troops outside now, and there are only thirty of us. How can you protect me? Who do you think you are?"
Takada Yukino looked at Ashikaga Yoshiteru and answered seriously.
"I am Takada Yukino. Your master wants me to protect you, so I will protect you."
Ashikaga Yoshiki was stunned, thinking of Yoshigashi Shiba who was far away in Kanto, and suddenly her heart ached. She showed a hint of helplessness, rubbed her brows, her nose felt a little sore, and she almost shed tears.
I thought I was doing a good job, but who knew I would end up in a mess. The bold words I made at the time are still echoing in my ears, about reviving the Ashikaga family and marrying him off. Now it seems that they have all become a joke.
Ashikaga Yoshiki was silent for a while and said to the attendant beside him.
"Give me the gold seal."
"Hi!"
The attendant respectfully presented a seal box with both hands, and Ashikaga Yoshiki took out a small seal from it. The seal surface was ten centimeters square and three to four centimeters high.
She pressed the white paper printed on the document and printed out the nine-fold seal script used for the official seal of the Ming Dynasty, and wrote six words, the seal of the King of Japan.
Ashikaga Yoshiki touched the side of the seal and found six characters. King Omihara of Japan nodded. After confirming the authenticity of the gold seal, she handed the small seal to Takada Yukino.
"Take it."
"oh."
Ashikaga Yoshiki looked at her with a smile and asked.
"Do you know what this is?"
Takada Yukino shook his head blankly, Ashikaga Yoshiki stared at the seal on the white paper and said slowly.
"You don't have to stay. Take the golden seal through the secret passage and give it to Duke Qianxin. Do you understand?"
Takada Yukino held the small seal and shook his head.
"My lord, let me protect you."
Ashikaga Yoshiki couldn't help but hold his forehead and cursed.
"You idiot!
Shiba Yiyin said that to let you stay with me! It was to let me protect you and not get killed by the intrigues of those in the shogunate!"
Ashikaga Yoshiteru finally made up her mind to hand over the Seal of the King of Japan to Yoshigan Shiba, the man she loved deeply.
The deep love between life and death was completely destroyed by Takada Yukino, a fool. She didn't understand the value of this gold seal at all!
At the beginning, the third generation of Shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu had great power over the world, but the Ming Dynasty only interacted and traded with the holders of the King's Golden Seal in the Emperor's court, making her position extremely embarrassing.
In order to obtain the political recognition of the Ming Dynasty and the economic benefits of joint trade, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's efforts ran through the three dynasties of Taizu, Taisun and Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty, and finally paid off.
Ming Chengzu gave her the new seal of the King of Japan, which solidified Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's foundation and gave her the confidence to raise a butcher's knife against the emperor's court.
After the massacre of the emperor's court, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu regarded himself as the king of Japan under the Ming dynasty externally, and ruled internally as the shogun, co-head of the samurai family, forming the unique political structure of the Ashikaga shogunate.
The golden seal given by the Ming Dynasty and the sword given by the emperor have become two tokens of Ashikaga Shogun's rule over the world.
Ashikaga Yoshiteru wanted Takada Yukino to take away the gold seal and hand it over to Shiba Yoshigan. This was to entrust his posthumous affairs to his sweetheart.
But Takada Yukino, this little fool, she refused to leave!
