The direct descendants of the Kawachi Genji family and the closest members of the Ashikaga Shogun family all died in the Kyoto Incident. None of the Ashikaga Shogun, Odaisho, and Ashikaga Teru-kun survived.
This led to a very embarrassing thing.
Yoshigan Shiba, an outsider with no close bloodline, became the representative of the direct line of Genji in Kawachi as a widow of the Ashikaga Shogun family.
Although he has no direct bloodline, the sword and golden seal given by Ashikaga Yoshiteru are enough for the world's samurai to recognize his status as a direct descendant.
Although Ashikaga Yoshiaki is Ashikaga Yoshiteru's sibling, the twin girls' obscure background makes it difficult for her to be recognized by the world's samurai families.
This in and out made Ashikaga Yoshiaki eligible to succeed Ashikaga Shogun only by recognizing his orthodox status through Yoshihiro Shiba.
Without the support of Shiba Yoshigan, Ashikaga Yoshiaki's status would not be enough. Ashikaga Yoshiteru never recognized her as a sister during his lifetime, and she even had lower inheritance rights than many Ashikaga Tobashi.
But if Ashikaga Yoshiaki succeeds Ashikaga Shogun with the recognition of Yoshigan Shiba, then she will not be able to escape the shadow of Yoshigan Shiba's kindness.
This is the deadlock faced by Ashikaga Yoshiaki.
Either you give up on the position of Ashikaga Shogun, or you will always be inferior to Yoshigin Shiba.
But at this time, Ise Sadakyo helped her open up a new path.
That is to first take over the position of Ashikaga Shogun from Yoshigan Ushiba, and then remarry Yoshigan Ushiba out of fear that the Shiba family will have no heirs.
Yoshigan Shiba's status as a direct descendant of Kawachi Genji comes from his late wife Ashikaga Yoshiteru. As long as he remarries, it is logical that he will lose his status.
And Ashikaga Yoshiaki has become Ashikaga Shogun, so naturally he will not bow down and step down because of Yoshihiro Shiba's remarriage.
By doing this, she can not only ascend to the top of the world, but also kick away Shiba Yiyin who is pressing down on her head. It is simply perfect!
As the saying goes, as long as your thinking does not slip, there are always more solutions than difficulties.
Ise Sadakyo, the old fox, grasped the fundamental issue of Yoshigan Shiba's status, and used the continuation of the family business, which the samurai family cared about most, as an excuse to invite Yoshigan Shiba out of the direct line of the Genji family in Kawachi by remarrying.
Although this method is unethical, it sounds really feasible.
Ashikaga Yoshiaki's eyes were a little confused, and he felt greatly shocked. After all, Ise Sadakyu was an old player who had been with the shogunate for many years. This way of giving birth to a daughter without a blind eye was really eye-opening.
she hesitated.
"Can the emperor agree to this?"
Ise Sadakyo looked at Ashikaga Yoshiaki in surprise and thought: Nonsense, of course Yoshigan Shiba would not agree.
The direct descendants of the Kawachi Genji founded two generations of shogunate and led the world's samurai families as the pillars of the samurai family. The legitimacy was deeply rooted in the hearts of the samurai warriors, which was a priceless invisible wealth.
Even if Shiba Yiyin was confused for a moment and was willing to give up, the Shiba retainers group would not agree.
The purpose of uniting the Wu family under one family name is to stay together and gain more benefits. The retainers group does not care that Shiba Yiyin will never be exterminated. The worst thing is to find an adopted daughter with a suitable status to succeed him.
But the title of direct descendant of Kawachi Genji is very useful. He can use his righteousness to suppress the general and shogunate, be superior to others, and dominate others.
It doesn't matter whether Shiba Yiyin is a widower for the rest of his life. It doesn't matter whether he is comfortable or not. The Shiba Wu family group must be happy and will never let go.
Ashikaga Yoshiaki would ask this, which only shows that she is very immature politically.
Ise Sadakya frowned, thought for a moment, and said.
"The emperor understands the righteousness deeply. As long as we are moved with emotion and understand with reason, we will surely be able to impress him."
Ashikaga Yoshiaki nodded slowly and asked.
"Then how do we impress him?"
Ise Sakyo said.
"After the Imperial Palace is moved to Luo, the re-establishment of the shogunate should be put on the agenda.
When he helps you ascend to the position of Ashikaga Shogun and hand over the golden seal of the sword, we will prepare for his future happiness.
Before you succeed to the throne, please do not let the imperial office distract you from other matters, and do not mention the matter of remarriage for the time being.
As for after you take the throne, I already have some ideas."
Ashikaga Yoshiaki understood the meaning of Ise Sakyo.
Before he takes the throne of Ashikaga Shogun, he must suppress his desire to force Yoshigan Shiba to remarry, so as not to affect the succession event.
After he succeeds to the throne and the issue of Ashikaga Yoshiaki's status is resolved, the time will be ripe to attack Yoshihiro Saba.
she asked with interest.
"Lord Ise, can you share some thoughts?"
Ise Sakyo looked around at the ladies present, and Wada Weimasa spoke with interest.
"Don't worry, sir, everyone here is a loyal person who supports His Highness Ashikaga Yoshiaki in going to Luo."
Ise Sakyo nodded.
Those present were all those who once wanted Ashikaga Yoshiaki to go to Luo independently and severely offended Yoshigan Shiba. They were also afraid of Yoshigan Shiba's revenge and were very interested in the idea of Ise Sakyo.
Ise Sakyo said.
"I once heard an interesting story.
When the Odaisho first came to Kyoto, Mibuchi Harumoto-sama took good care of him because of the family friendship between the two families. He even intended to let him marry his own daughter, Hosokawa Fujitaka."
Ashikaga Yoshiaki glared.
"Is there such a thing?"
She looked at Wada Weimasa and the others. Only Yagyu Sogan, as the eldest son, knew some inside information and nodded.
After receiving the confirmation, Ashikaga Yoshiaki couldn't help but swallowed and said.
"So, the ancestors robbed the Izumi-Hosokawa family..."
Ashikaga Yoshiaki did not say any more. This statement somewhat tarnished Ashikaga Yoshiteru's character and it was not convenient for her to say it.
Ise Sadakya shook his head and said.
"That's not the case, because the matter of Sanhao Changqing going to Luo was put on hold because of the war before it was formally raised.
After the war, Odaisho became famous all over the world, and was admired by the ancestors and was given the gift of acceptance. Naturally, Mibuchi Haruhan-sama would not mention this matter again to embarrass the ancestors.
But as far as I know, Hosokawa Fujitaka has not gotten married in the past three years, and there are rumors that she has someone in her heart, so she has never talked about marriage."
Ise Sadakyo spoke frankly, except that Hosokawa Fujitaka had a secret crush on Shiba Yoshigan.
Ashikaga Yoshiaki's Great Miraculous Path.
"Is there such a thing?"
Yoshigan Shiba has an excellent appearance. As early as when he first entered Kyoto, he was ridiculed as the foxy child born in front of Tamamo.
His status has been getting higher and higher over the years, and among high-level warriors, no one dares to mention such frivolous words.
But among the chats among the vulgar men and women of the middle and lower classes, Shiba Yiyin's peerless appearance attracted far more attention than his unparalleled achievements.
Ashikaga Yoshiaki was savoring the Eight Diagrams with relish, then suddenly frowned and asked.
"Ise-sama, do you mean to remarry Odaisho to the Izumi-Hosokawa family?
It is of course a good thing to renew the relationship and have the beauty of adulthood. The Odaisho is originally the leader of the local powerful faction. If Shiba Hosokawa joins forces, it may not be beneficial to the stability of the shogunate."
The three pillars of the shogunate are the Ashikaga Shogun family, the shogunate, and local powerful factions.
After Yoshigan Shiba remarried, Ashikaga Shogun's family was completely controlled by Ashikaga Yoshiaki.
However, if the Shiba Hosokawa is allowed to merge, the local powerful factions will be further integrated. Izumi, Kawachi, Kitadawa, Iga and other places will be integrated into one, and the volume of 400,000 to 500,000 stone high should not be underestimated.
This is also a hidden danger for the new general Ashikaga Yoshiaki.
She couldn't help complaining in her heart, couldn't Ise Sadaoka think of other partners? Wouldn't letting Yoshigoshi Shiba marry Fujitaka Hosokawa cause trouble for herself?
Ise Sakyo sighed in his heart, how come Ashikaga Yoshiaki doesn't know how to choose? Yoshigan Shiba is such a powerful person, how easy is it to kick him out of the Kawachi Genji lineage?
Without joining forces with the Hosokawa-Mibuchi family and without giving Hosokawa Fujitaka enough sweeteners, would this be possible?
As long as Shiba Yoshigan can be married off, no matter how troublesome the hidden dangers are, can it be more troublesome than him holding the honor of being the direct descendant of the Genji family in Kawachi?
Ise Sakyo despised Ashikaga Yoshiaki in his heart, but he smiled on his face.
"His Royal Highnesses Ashikaga Yoshiaki and Hosokawa Mibuchi are called two families, but in fact they are very united internally. The family governors are sisters, and the heirs are also sisters.
Now that the two house governors are getting older, power has been slowly delegated to the two heirs, Mibuchi Fujihide and Hosokawa Fujitaka.
I heard that Lord Hatakeyama Takamasa made an uprising in Minamigouchi and went to Raku, but was defeated by Yusa Shinji. Mibuchi Fujihide turned a blind eye and was harshly reprimanded by the Odai who returned to Konge Shiba Territory, and was embarrassed.
The Hosokawa Mibuchi family was forced to invade the land of Minamihanoi to regain the family property for Lord Hatakeyama Takamasa and atone for their sins.
The two families who originally wanted to go to Luo are now making wedding dresses for others in the land of Nanhanoi. There will always be some resentment among Mibuchi Fujihide, right?
And Fujitaka Hosokawa is talented and intelligent, and was groomed by the family as the next person in charge. He is also a hero who is unwilling to be inferior to others.
Outstanding people must have strong self-esteem, but it is a pity that falling flowers are sentimental and flowing water is unintentional. The unintentional incident at the imperial office at that time deeply hurt the emotional pain of Hosokawa Fujitaka.
Whether the Shiba Hosokawa River can merge and whether they can be united after the merger depends on your mind, your magnanimity, and your kindness."
Ashikaga Yoshiaki squinted his eyes and thought, then asked.
"What do you mean, Mr. Ise?"
Ise Sadakyo smiled a little coldly.
"As long as you are willing to bend the knot, you can try to win over Mibuchi Fujihide.
The land occupied by Mibuchi Tōhide in the north of Hanoi is the gateway to and from the mountainous country in the west Konji. You have entrusted me with such a heavy responsibility, and you are doing your best to fulfill your talents.
She is not as valued as Hosokawa Fujitaka in the Hosokawa Mibuchi family, but young people always want to prove themselves. As long as you are willing to be her boss, you may not be unable to get her sincere support."
The intention of Ise Sakyo was to take advantage of the internal contradictions of local powerful factions to win over the lost Mibuchi Fujihide and divide the local powerful factions.
Ashikaga Yoshiaki asked.
"What about Hosokawa Fujitaka?"
Ise Sakyo said solemnly.
"Hosokawa Fujitaka is both civilized and martial, she has always been arrogant and arrogant. The biggest regret in her life is probably the missed love relationship with Otai.
If you intend to fulfill her love, she will definitely stand by your side and try her best to help you achieve your wish, and it will also help her achieve her own wish."
After Ise Sakyo finished speaking, he looked at Ashikaga Yoshiaki with bright eyes.
Ashikaga Yoshiaki nodded slowly. This time she really understood why Ise Sadakyo chose Hosokawa Fujitaka as his remarriage partner.
Because Yoshihiro Shiba and the Shiba retainers were not willing to remarry, Yoshiaki Ashikaga had to find allies to force Yoshihiro Shiba to marry him off.
Fujitaka Hosokawa has a crush on Yoshigan Shiba. She has the strength and willingness to marry Yoshigan Shiba. She is the best helper for Ashikaga Yoshiaki to achieve his goal.
The Naomi of the Ashikaga Shogun family in the hands of Ashikaga Yoshiaki, the shogunate group controlled by Ise Sakyo, and part of the Hosokawa Mibuchi family controlled by Hosokawa Fujitaka.
Individually, none of the three parties is a match for Shiba Yoshigan. But what if the three parties join forces? Can Shiba Yoshigan resist the power of most of the shogunate?
Ise Sakyo also knew that with the confluence of Shiba Hosokawa and the accelerated integration of local powerful factions, their strength would be even higher.
Even if you rely on winning over Mibuchi Fujihide and dividing the strength of some of the Mibuchi family, this strategy may not be successful.
But Shiba Yiyin is so powerful that not many people in the martial arts family dare to fight against him these days.
To remove Yoshigan Shiba's status as a direct descendant of Kawachi Genji, we must make a choice, and Hosokawa Fujitaka is the best candidate.
The confluence of Shiba Hosokawa will be troublesome in the future, but Yoshigan Shiba's occupying the title of direct descendant of Genji in Kawachi is a real threat that Ashikaga Yoshiaki cannot bear for a moment.
The choice of the lesser of two evils, after weighing the pros and cons, it is self-evident what Ashikaga Yoshiaki will choose.
Although there are hidden dangers in the future, Ashikaga Yoshiaki must join forces with Hosokawa Fujitaka to let her get what she wants, and also let herself get what she wants.
An alliance in which both sides get what they need is the strongest alliance. Before Yoshigan Shiba remarried, Hosokawa Fujitaka might even become Ashikaga Yoshiaki's staunchest ally in the shogunate.
Ashikaga Yoshiaki thought clearly about the logic and nodded resolutely.
"Mr. Ise is right, we should be happy with the beauty of adulthood and fulfill Hosokawa Fujitaka's infatuation."
Ise Sadakyu smiled in relief, and Ashikaga Yoshiaki accepted all her advice.
From the sectarian balance between Tendai Sect and Shingon Sect, to the soft knife to deal with Oda Nobunaga, an outsider, and finally the solution to Shiba Yoshigan.
The adoption of this series of suggestions meant that Ashikaga Yoshiaki, the future Ashikaga shogun, formally accepted himself, and the Ise family had a new future.
Ise Sakyo's suggestion is to proceed from the shallower to the deeper, and gradually test Ashikaga Yoshiaki's bottom line.
She was not worried that sectarian disputes could threaten the shogunate. There was a tacit understanding of neutrality between the samurai family and the sects. Unless it harmed their own interests, sects rarely intervened in samurai disputes.
Oda Nobunaga, an arrogant and domineering rural daimyo, was straightforward and rude. She didn't understand the rules of the shogunate's game, and she couldn't beat the shogunate who was proficient in the operation of the shogunate, so there was nothing to worry about.
Ise Sadakyo was the same as everyone else in the shogunate. What they were most afraid of was the Ashikaga military god who punched Rokkaku and kicked Miyoshi, Yoshigan Shiba.
If Yoshigan knew that everyone in the shogunate was so afraid of him but ignored Oda Nobunaga's threat, he would definitely not be able to cry.
Compared with Oda Nobunaga, is he a threat? These fools of the shogunate will one day pay the price for their stupid behavior, and they will definitely regret it.
Yiyin didn't know that before he went to Luo, everyone was already full of malice towards him.
Whether it was Oda Nobunaga or Ashikaga Yoshiaki, both groups had their own agenda and wanted to kick him out first.
And Yoshigan still harbors the dream of uniting with Ashikaga Yoshiaki to drive away Oda Nobunaga. When he wakes up from the dream, he will definitely feel extremely depressed and even begin to doubt life.
Under the influence of the variable Sputnik, history slightly deviated from the track. But then it gradually reset and embarked on the original path.
