Until he came out of the quiet room, Hojo Ushimasa was still in a daze.
This meeting was just a ceremonial visit. The two sides talked some high-sounding nonsense and it ended. It didn't last long.
Hojo Genan followed Hojo Umasa out, looking at her back with a hint of uneasiness. Shiba Yoshiyoshi is the most beautiful in the world, will Hojo Umasa...
Walking out of the protection range of Shiba Tongxinzhong, Hojo Umasa suddenly asked.
"Godaisho has broad shoulders and long legs. He seems to be very tall. He is different from other men?"
Throughout the entire audience, Shiba Yiyin sat in the main seat. Although his sitting posture could make him stand out from the crowd, there was no direct visual effect from standing up.
Hojo Genan nodded and answered.
"That's right. From my visual inspection, I am more than a head taller than the ordinary Ji warriors. The imperial guards are extremely talented and are indeed different from ordinary people."
Hojo Genan had seen Yoshigan Shiba standing straight, and he was deeply shocked when he saw it for the first time.
It has been three or four years since Owari went to Rakuten, and now he has reached eighteen years old. From fifteen to eighteen years old is the time for men to grow taller.
Yiyin was 183 centimeters tall in his previous life. This body came from the previous life and is constantly sprinting towards the height of the previous life.
Generally, the height of the Hime Samurai is between 160-165 centimeters. The tall Shima Katsuo is over 170 centimeters tall, and Uesugi Terutora, the pocket-sized queen, is only about 155 centimeters.
At this time, Shiba Yiyin was already half a head taller than Shima Shengmeng, about 175-178 centimeters. In the eyes of Ji Samurai, he was very majestic and huge.
You know, men in this world are not able to grow much muscle due to lack of muscle mass, and their bodies are weak. In this aspect, they are not as good as Yi Yin, and they are even worse in that aspect.
After listening to Hojo Genan's explanation, Hojo Umasa nodded silently, not knowing what he was thinking.
Seeing her silence, Hojo Genan felt even more uneasy. The governor was in his prime, a time of youthful turmoil. If speculations arise, will it affect the negotiations?
When Yoshigan Shiba was in Kyoto, there were rumors of Tamamo-mae's reincarnation, which fascinated Ashikaga Yoshiteru and made him unwilling to marry him.
After Echigo, the always authoritarian and arrogant Teruhu Uesugi was asked to obey, and he did not know what means of communication were used to make Qin Se reconcile.
Although Hojo Genan is unwilling to make random guesses without evidence, he still has some vague associations with pink.
If the Hojo clan leader is confused by his appearance and charm, and his heart is disturbed, and he makes moves that are not conducive to the Hojo family during negotiations, he will be in trouble.
She originally had the stain of the Sano leader's defeat. This time she came to negotiate to clear the stain, not to add insult to injury.
Hojo Genan pondered whether he should say something about the family business. But when he said it now, he was trying to hide it, and it seemed that he underestimated the person of the family governor.
She was in a dilemma when Hojo Umasa suddenly smiled freely and said to Hojo Genan and Hojo Yasunari.
"The prince of the Imperial Palace does not give way to women. When I saw him today, he was truly magnificent. I lost to him, and I did not lose unjustly.
But this negotiation is different, I will definitely defeat him and let him know how powerful the Hojo family is!"
Seeing the high morale of the Hojo clan, Hojo Genan felt relieved and smiled silently. It turned out that the governor was trying to untie his own knot, not to indulge in beauty, so that was good.
Hojo Umasa strode forward. She wanted to go back and have a good rest to recuperate and prepare for the afternoon negotiations.
Shiba Yiyin, you gave me a huge defeat and made it impossible for me to get out of your shadow. This time, I will also teach you a profound lesson so that you will never forget me!
———
Hojo Umasa left with her head held high and full of fighting spirit. In the quiet room behind her, Yoshigan Shiba was still thinking.
The interview just now made him feel something was wrong. Hojo Ushimasa looked at him with a strange look, as if he was confirming something.
What tricks do the Hojo family want to play? What information does the Hojo family have that they can take advantage of?
Seeing his frown, Pu Sheng's villager couldn't bear it and stepped forward to ask.
"Odaisuo, there will be a collegial meeting in the afternoon, would you like to take a rest first?"
Shiba Yoshiyin didn't speak for the first time. He looked at the Hamo clan in front of him and felt a throbbing in his heart.
He suddenly remembered the imperial flag that was lost on the battlefield of Sano Territory. Could Hojo Ujimasa have obtained that imperial flag?
Shiba Yiyin was silent in thought, and the village of Kamo was a little uneasy.
"Odaisuo?"
Yiyin was awakened by her, smiled, shook his head and said.
"It's okay, I'm just a little tired and need a rest. You can go out first, don't worry."
After comforting the Kamao clan, Yoshihiro thought about his guess, he wouldn't be so unlucky, right?
At that time, the battlefield was in chaos, and Hojo's elite troops were defeated like a mountain. There was no time to care about a flag. He must have thought too much.
But if the Hojo family really gets their imperial flag, it would be really troublesome.
Although Yoshigan already has a sword, he still has a gold seal waiting for him to get it recently. With these two imperial treasures of Ashikaga Shogun, he has enough status, and the imperial flag is of little value to him.
But the meaning of the imperial flag is more than that. The imperial flag, also known as the Ashikaga White Flag, is the certificate given by the Ashikaga General to the samurai to conquer all directions.
The starting point for Yoshigan Shiba's revival of his family business started with the imperial flag given by Ashikaga Yoshiteru.
Although times have changed and he no longer needs the imperial flag and the fake tiger's power, it does not mean that this imperial flag can be discarded at will.
This imperial flag is the beginning of the bond between Ashikaga Yoshiteru and Shiba Yoshigin, and has a special meaning. If Ashikaga Yoshiteru does not die, the imperial flag will be a normal gift. But if she dies, this will be a relic.
Yoshigan Shiba has always shown himself as a benevolent and righteous king. Ashikaga Shogun is the master in public and his fiancée in private. It is enough that her belongings are destroyed on the battlefield. How can they fall into the hands of the enemy and be destroyed?
In order to protect its own character, if the imperial flag is really not damaged, Yiyin must get it back, even if it costs some money.
Also, Yoshigine secretly glanced at Kamao clan village. This child has been depressed after losing the imperial flag. What would she think if the Hojo family got the imperial flag and used it to threaten herself?
Yiyin sighed, hoping that he was just overthinking. He put down his worries and looked into the distance, which was the direction of the White Flag Shrine.
He actually wanted the Imperial White Flag more than the Imperial Flag. The Imperial Flag was just a special family crest given to him by the Ashikaga Shogun, while the Imperial White Flag was the samurai family's most precious treasure.
Of the two royal white flags at the White Flag Shrine, if he could get the one from the Hachiman Tai Ni Minamoto no Yoshi family, then he would really be overwhelmed by his reputation.
Minamoto no Yori's imperial white flag was of no use.
In the era when Minamoto Yoritomo established the Kamakura shogunate, the samurai family had not yet formed the tradition of inheritance by legitimate sons, and sisters in the family were likely to receive a share.
In order to inherit the rights of her descendants, she slaughtered her sisters, leaving only her own bloodline.
Who knew that her husband's family, the Hojo family before the shogunate took power, usurped power after her death and killed her heirs, leading to the death of three generations of Minamoto Yoritomo.
In order to retain power, the former Hojo family asked the emperor for an heir to inherit the position of shogun. The Kawachi Genji family lost its direct lineage for a long time.
At that time, the Ashikaga family was only the closest direct line among the Kawachi Genji clan. In order to dispel the suspicion of the Hojo family, the governor of the Ashikaga family retired his husband and remarried the Hojo son. This was a safe passage.
The daughter of her divorced ex-husband, who was reduced from a legitimate daughter to a concubine, is the ancestor of the Shiba family. This is also the reason why the Shiba family has a special status in the Ashikaga clan.
In a sense, the Shiba family, which does not have the blood of the former Hojo family, has more legitimacy to inherit the direct line of the Kawachi Genji family than the Ashikaga family.
Nowadays, the anecdote has gradually spread throughout the world that Shiba Yiyin is the most beautiful woman in the world. This is also the blessing of his own blood.
In a martial arts society that values dignity and inferiority, beauties are not only judged by appearance, but also by bloodline and family status.
Didn’t those Ji warriors who slept with him have excitement in their minds? The man he was fucking had the noblest blood in the world flowing in his body.
What you love to do is actually doing it with your own brain. Only when your brain is superb is it truly superb, and when you feel happy is it truly satisfying.
Minamoto Yoritomo's royal white flag was just a symbolic sign of dignity, because no one really cared after her entire family died.
After the Ashikaga family defeated many opponents and seized the direct descendants of the Genji family in Kawachi, they also learned the lessons of Minamoto Yoritomo and reused their relatives. The Ashikaga family's imperial family formed the foundation of the Ashikaga shogunate.
But on the other hand, the imperial white flag of the Hachiman Tai Ni Minamoto no Yoshi family is a treasure of the samurai family that has real deterrent power.
The direct descendants of Kawachi Genji are qualified to become the pillars of the samurai family because she has rewarded the Bandohime samurai and obtained the status of their descendants who have pledged allegiance to them for generations.
In other words, all the ancestors of the martial arts family today have eaten the food rewarded by the Minamoto family. If you haven't eaten, you still have to pretend to have eaten and recognize the ancestors who have eaten. Otherwise, your family will not be able to join the martial arts circle.
If you can get Hachiman Tainiang's Royal White Flag, who else in the world would dare to sing a high profile in front of Yoshigan? The ancestor's White Flag is in hand, and everyone in the Wu family counts, who dares to argue with him for status?
Orthodoxy is a vague thing and cannot be snatched openly, otherwise this imperial white flag would have been snatched away by others. It is really difficult for all martial arts families to admit that the holder is worthy of the imperial white flag.
Yoshihiro glanced at the White Flag Shrine for the last time, withdrew his gaze and closed his eyes to rest, waiting for the afternoon negotiations.
———
In the afternoon, the wind and snow outside not only did not subside, but became stronger and stronger.
Sibo Yiyin braved the wind and snow to come to the dance hall for a moment. At this time, the hall was already filled with high-level martial artists from various families, and they all bowed to him and bowed to him.
Kakizaki Keie and others from the Uesugi family, and Yamanaka Yukimori and others from the Kanto Palace, all looked very ugly. The wind and snow outside were getting heavier and heavier, and the situation of the military at the station was unknown.
Ashikaga Yoshiji sat on one side of the main seat, and on the other side was Yoshigan Shiba.
Although she was despised by all parties, her status had been recognized by Hojo Ujiyasu and Uesugi Terutora, and she had somehow secured the position of General of Kanto.
The Kanto samurai family, who followed Uesugi Teruhora and did not retreat, looked unhappy. No one expected that the snowstorm would be so severe. Before Tianwei, the Kanto Allied Forces were just a group of ants struggling to survive.
Hojo Umasa and Hojo Genan looked at each other with smiles in their eyes.
With Tenwei's help, they will not be at a disadvantage in today's negotiation. So what if the frontline of the Echigo army hits Sagami Country? Are you tougher than God?
Today's negotiation is just the beginning. The two sides will definitely be in a tense tug of war for several days. If there is a snowstorm to help in the next few days, Uesugi Teruhu will not give in even if he doesn't want to.
While Hojo Umasa was saluting, he secretly glanced at Yoshigashi Shiba with the corners of his eyes, and raised the corners of his mouth.
Today, I will first give Yoshigashi Shiba a blow, stop Teruhora Uesugi, the strongest supporter, and disrupt the rhythm of the two people's cooperation.
Yiyin ignored the Wu family who were kneeling on the ground and kowtowed to the left and right, and strode forward.
Uesugi Teruhora's position was also above the main seat, but half a seat shorter than him and Ashikaga Yoshiji. At this time, Yoshigami's eyes met with hers, and both of them nodded slightly.
Teruhora Uesugi bowed slightly, Yoshigami walked up to his seat, sat upright with his back straight, and asked the girls to get up.
Ashikaga Yoshiji smiled and said to him.
"Today, the Uesugi and Shiba families discuss the chaos in Kanto and specially invite the imperial office to come and bear witness."
Yiyin replied with a smile.
"I just happened to meet at the right time, and I asked Kamakura-don to take charge of the overall situation, so don't worry about me."
The two exchanged polite words.
Uesugi Terutora and Hojo Ujiyasu fought hard for the hegemony of Kanto. But the funny thing is that the two highest-ranking people in the palace were Yoshigan Shiba and Ashikaga Yoshiji.
As a Kanto shogun recognized by both parties, Ashikaga Yoshiji arbitrated disputes between the Uesugi and Hojo families.
Yoshigan Shiba was an envoy to the shogunate and came to Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine to observe the ceremony for Terutora Uesugi to inherit the position of governor of Kanto.
The Wu family values courtesy and is hypocritical. Everyone understands what is going on, but the situation needs to be said, and the procedures that need to be followed still need to be followed.
Yiyin pretended to be nonchalant and said.
"I was entrusted by the late Ashikaga General to come to Kanto to observe the succession ceremony of the new Kanto Governor, His Highness Teru Uesugi.
Since Kamakura-den recommends it, I won’t be polite and will shamelessly bear witness to Kanto affairs today.”
Yiyin is taking a preemptive strike.
His apparent identity is that of an envoy of the shogunate, and Ashikaga Yoshiteru personally admitted that Uesugi Teruatora's position as the Kanto leader was indeed acknowledged by Ashikaga Yoshiteru. He wanted to nail this matter to death and leave no room for the Hojo family to refute.
Teruhora Uesugi wanted to laugh when he saw Yoshigan telling lies with a serious face. Yoshigan Shiba even went into battle with a sword to kill people in Sano. What kind of envoy is he? Still pretending to be impartial here.
Hojo Umasa said coldly.
"What the imperial office said is wrong. Kantō is the Kantō of the Kantō samurai family.
The shogunate sent envoys to visit us, and we, the Kanto warriors, treated them with courtesy, but it seems against the rules to interfere with Kanto affairs."
Kanhachishu rebelled under the leadership of the Kamakura Ashikaga family. Although they were defeated by the shogunate, the shogunate really had no choice but to kick the Kamakura Ashikaga family out of the guardianship system.
Yoshigan Shiba said that he was a Kanto governor recognized by the shogunate. This was to confirm the justice of Uesugi Teruhora. How could the Hojo clan agree.
She held high the banner of the Kansai shogunate to oppress the Kanto samurai family, spoke righteous words, and had forgotten her family background.
Ise, the first governor of the Go-Hojo family, came to Kanto and was a pawn to help the shogunate deal with the Kanto generals. This was the rise of the Go-Hojo family.
The girl who slayed the dragon back then eventually became a new evil dragon. The Hojo family defeated the Kanto system, but became the new overlord of the Kanto family, as if they were the leaders of the Kanto samurai family.
Ashikaga Yoshiji really couldn't laugh at this absurd drama in the palace. No one took her seriously at all, and everyone's strength was based on trampling on the dignity of the Kamakura Ashikaga family.
