At the Kyoto Imperial Palace, Ashikaga Yoshiteru was comparing swordsmanship with swordsman Kamizumi Nobutsuna. The two women were talking excitedly, and suddenly the general sighed.
"Shifan, tell me. Is life always so difficult, or is it just me?"
Kamizumi Nobutsuna's heart skipped a beat, and she was speechless for a moment. She was just a teacher who got into the training school with swordsmanship, and her family background was not high. If the general hadn't loved swordsmanship, there would be no place for her in the shogunate.
Therefore, she always only talked about swordsmanship, not anything else. There was no depth in the shogunate that she dared to touch.
Politics in ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad, are all about killing people without blood. If your swordsmanship is unparalleled in the world, if you dare to get involved, you will die without a body intact.
"Why did the general say this?"
Since the general asked, she had no choice but to speak up and ask.
"I have been driven out of Kyoto several times with my mother since I was a child. The Ashikaga General looked majestic, but how many people knew the suffering.
When I succeeded to the throne, I wanted to reform the shogunate and do something great, but in the end I still had to rely on my black-hatted brother Rokkaku Sadarai-sama to support the situation. Now that she has passed away, who will take me, Ashikaga Shogun, seriously?
inside."
"Why did the general say this? In the battle of Noragada, the shogunate and the Asai family won a great victory, Rokkaku surrendered, and everyone outside was praising the general's wisdom."
Ashikaga Yoshiki sneered. After all, Kamizumi Nobutsuna was not into politics. She only heard rumors from outside, so how could she know how aggrieved she felt.
Before, she had been thinking of mobilizing the Ma Hui people to ask for an explanation from the Liujiao family, but the ministers were obedient and she had no choice but to compromise.
At this time, Yoshihiro Shiba took advantage of the afterglow of the imperial family system to mobilize the people of Omi to fight in Norada and gave Yoshihide Rokkaku a fatal blow. She suddenly saw an opportunity to revive the Ashikaga family.
However, she just tried to propose the imperial family system in the shogunate meeting, and encountered serious obstacles. Not only the shogunate officials opposed it, but also the local powerful factions who had always stood behind her, the Izumi-Hosokawa family and the Kawachi Hatakeyama family also euphemistically expressed their dissatisfaction.
Recognize.
What made her even more angry was that the ministers took advantage of the internal strife in the Rokkaku family to force Yogiharu Rokkaku, who succeeded him, to hand over the rule from the Seta River to Lake Biwa Omi Province, allowing the construction of Sakamoto Castle, which had been rejected by the Rokkaku family.
This is a good thing, but what time is it now! The Miyoshi family is waiting for an opportunity, and it is the moment to unite the Rokkaku family and the Asai family to fight against the Miyoshi family.
Such behavior caused Rokkaku Yoshiharu, who had just taken office, to be seriously questioned by Rokkaku's retainers, triggering a new round of internal strife.
These ministers previously wanted to have sex with Rokkaku regardless of the general's reputation, but now they further weakened the Rokkaku family for the sake of the Seta River tax money, which affected the overall situation of fighting against the Miyoshi family.
He talks about the shogunate, but his heart is all about profit.
Ashikaga Yoshiki thought bitterly, don't think that I don't understand the thoughts of these ministers.
Even if Miyoshi Nagakei succeeded in going to Luo this time, he emptied out the shogunate and became the governor, governor, or even usurped the throne and became a general. This was to appease the samurai family in the shogunate, and it was impossible to push everyone to the opposite side.
But if the imperial family system is revived, how will the people under the high-ranking samurai be appeased? What if the retainers also have their thoughts? They are all being treated like dogs. It is better to be treated as a member of the master's family than an Ashikaga shogun!
The samurai family directly received less than 30% of the total. If the ministers under his command rushed to send land to the general in order to become a member of the imperial family, the vitality of each family in the shogunate would be seriously damaged.
Not to mention that future generations will have to compete with the new imperial family. To be honest, it is better to let Miyoshi Changqing become a general!
Therefore, Ashikaga Yoshiki could only give in. The Ashikaga shogunate was already terminally ill. What could she do except resentment?
Either linger and close your eyes and let them toss and wait for death, or you can open your eyes and do something, which means betrayal and separation is the same as destruction.
How difficult it is to be a lord.
At the same time, a nun at Tofukuji Temple in Kyoto, not far from the Imperial Palace, was also sighing.
Her face is solemn yet gorgeous, and she is in her early twenties, the age when her flowers are in full bloom.
She originally wanted to spend the rest of her life by worshiping the Buddha with a green lantern, but who knew that someone was dragging her into gossiping about the worldly world.
"Your Majesty! Please, Your Majesty, please don't lose your fighting spirit. I am still lucky enough to be alive in the mountains. Despite all the hardships and hardships, I will definitely revive the Nizi family."
The woman sighed, put down the wooden fish she was tapping, and looked back.
She was a beauty with a beautiful and exquisite face. Although she looked only fifteen or sixteen years old, she was so eye-catching in her early years that she would cause countless men in the harem to suffer from lovesickness in the future.
"The Nizi family has declined, and I have given up on being the last descendant. Why should you, Xingsheng, keep thinking about me?"
This woman's name is Niko Katsuhisa, and she is the only remaining legitimate daughter of the Niko family. After the Tomita Castle in Izumo Province was captured by Motonari Mori, the Niko family has been wiped out. Katsuhisa is disheartened and lives in Tofukuji Temple in Kyoto.
, I don’t want to bother with anything anymore.
A few days ago, after the important ministers of the Nizi family, Yamazaka Mitsuki's daughter Yukimori came to visit. She was a little happy at first, but when she met her old ministers in a foreign country, she gave her warm hospitality.
Who knew that this Yamanaka Yukimori was like a dog-skin plaster, once it got stuck on his hand, he couldn't take it off. He begged her every day to revive the family business, but this time he even stole the words of Shiba Gozen's oath, which was really helpless.
Mourigen is known as the wise general. In recent years, he has completely defeated the two famous families of the Western Kingdom, the Ouchi family and the Nizi family, and has become a powerful figure in the Western Kingdom.
Her Nizi's family is already in ruins. Even if they gather three or two kittens, what will happen? Why don't they go and deliver food to Maori's family?
Mourimoto was also known for his resourcefulness, and he was good at using the skills of vertical and horizontal strategies to achieve success throughout his life. The failure of the Nizi family was so bad that these simple-minded Ji warriors with strong limbs could not understand, so they couldn't wait to fight again.
If the Wu family like Yiyin, who used cheats to kill people, had conquered the Western Kingdom, they would probably be safe. It would be easier to remember the killings.
No matter how hard Yamanaka Yumori tried to persuade him, he refused to listen, which gave Nizi Shengjiu a headache. He couldn't drive him away, and he couldn't listen to him. He only regretted that he was too nostalgic. At that time, he should have recognized the wrong person.
At this time, Yoshigan said goodbye to Asai Nagamasa and other Asai family samurai who came to see him off, and took a boat from Lake Biwa to Seta River to Kyoto.
Although the Rokkaku family no longer dared to attack him, he would not go back to the capital through Minami Omi and across the boundary of the Rokkaku family. If a fool like this were to cause trouble again, there would inevitably be another bloody storm in Omi country.
On the boat, Takatora Toudo, who was riding on a boat for the first time, was as excited as a monkey. He jumped up and down and couldn't stop for a moment. His head hurt from the excitement.
I regretted accepting the monkey. Before the Todo clan left, Todo Tora was grateful for Shiba Yigen's kindness, but his daughter was making trouble again, so he simply threw the monkey to Yigen.
Anyway, the Tengtang people can't get away with the name of Spo Ling, so it's hard not to accept the gift of a daughter as a side horse back to Yiyin.
The territories of the twelve families of the Todo clan now carry the name of the imperial family, and no one dares to mess with Shiba's former territory. Hu Gao is so happy that he is ready to go home and give birth to a child.
Not only does she have to give birth, but her daughter and her subordinates all have to go back and work hard to have a baby. Anti-justice requires one penny a year to be donated, and old and young women don't have children, leaving the grain to get moldy.
