The Ise Sadaka prostrated themselves on the ground and knelt before Oda Nobunaga.
Oda Nobunaga said coldly.
"Ise-sama, it's already dark, so your visit is a bit late."
Ise Sadakyo glanced at Niwa Nagahide and smiled apologetically.
"I'm rude. This visit is for your consideration, His Highness Oda."
Oda Nobunaga raised the corners of his mouth and said.
"Oh? I'd like to hear the details."
Ise Sadakyo said with a solemn face.
“In the past few days, I have convened several meetings to discuss the matter and tried my best to promote the adoption of Luozhong’s legal system, but I have yet to get any results.
The reason is that someone is behind the obstruction and is unwilling to pass your Luozhong legal system to allow the Oda family to have the legal rights and interests of staying in Kyoto."
Oda Nobunaga said calmly.
"Oh, is it so."
Seeing that she was unmoved, Ise Sadakyu became more and more anxious. She shouldn't have come to Tofuku Temple to beg for mercy at this time, but she had no time.
The foolish daughter of Ise Sadaki acted in a confused manner and failed to settle the matter of ambushing Takada Yukino, allowing Mibu Wolf to take the lead.
The Mibu Wolf was at its most arrogant, and once they learned of the existence of the Ise family from the living mouth, they would definitely take action the next night.
The two consecutive nights of Tenchu ​​have caused panic in the shogunate, and the Ise Sadaect was deeply involved and panicked even more.
All her escape routes have been blocked, and only Oda Nobunaga can save her. Now, only the military strength of the Oda family in Kyoto can protect the Ise family and prevent the Mibu wolves from invading.
The Ise family had no choice. Ise Sakyo must demonstrate his worth and seek the protection of Oda Nobunaga before the next night comes.
Ise Sakyo said.
"Tomorrow, a new round of deliberation will be held, and the general will decide on the legal system in Luozhong in front of the emperor.
I sincerely invite His Highness Oda to the Nijo Imperial Palace, and I will do my best to obtain the legal terms of Rakuchu for the Oda family that best suit your wishes."
Oda Nobunaga looked at Ise Sakyo with an unclear expression and said.
"Lord Ise, is this a summons from the general, or is it your personal wish?"
Ise Sakyo bowed and said.
"Please forgive me Meng Lang, this is my personal expectation.
The shogun was unable to make up his mind and relied on the loyal Oda family. This caused turmoil in Kyoto and no peace for the various families in the shogunate.
I believe that whether it was the Renshenglang rebellion or the Nanman attacks, these were all problems caused by the lack of strong leadership in the shogunate.
Oda-dono is a master of martial arts and has outstanding talents. The shogunate needs capable and loyal ministers like you to participate in the shogunate affairs in order to stabilize the overall situation.
The general promised you to take over the leadership position before, but now he has kept silent about it.
I think this is inappropriate."
Oda Nobunaga listened silently to Ise Sadakyu's words, while Niwa Nagahide's eyes flashed with confusion and excitement.
The hereditary deacon of the Ise family holds a high and powerful position in the shogunate.
Ise Sakyo did not shy away from accusing Ashikaga Yoshiaki and flattering Oda Nobunaga. This was to change the family.
Niwa Nagahide couldn't understand very much. Given the status of the Ise family, was it too ugly to be so flattering? Why was Ise Sakyo so impatient that he almost begged Oda Nobunaga to join the government and join the government.
Although she couldn't understand it, this was indeed a God-given opportunity.
With the help of Ise Sakyo, the Oda family could justifiably garrison Kyoto through the Luochu legal system. Oda Nobunaga could also influence the shogunate's policies through the post of superintendent.
Niwa Nagahide looked at Oda Nobunaga, but saw that her face was calm and strange.
Main Hall, are you not moved at all?
Also puzzled was Ise Sakyo. She almost knelt down and begged Oda Nobunaga to enter the scene, her attitude was humble and almost transgressive.
She went beyond Ashikaga Yoshiaki and invited Oda Nobunaga to participate in the shogunate affairs without authorization. This was because she did not take Ashikaga Yoshiaki seriously.
With such a sweeping statement, Oda Nobunaga is still lukewarm. How else does she want the Ise family to express its stance?
Ise Sadakyo felt that his family's broken ship still had three pounds of nails, and the Oda family was of low status and had almost no foundation in recent times. Oda Nobunaga must need the help of a senior figure in the shogunate like himself.
But looking at Oda Nobunaga's indifferent expression, Ise Sakyo was worried. He didn't know what the big name with two million koku was thinking in his heart.
Ise Sakyo said he had nothing to say, and finally gritted his teeth and kowtowed to the ground.
"For the sake of the world and the great cause of the shogunate, I sincerely invite His Highness Oda to join the shogunate and participate in politics!"
This sentence is no longer transgression, it is simply rebellion, and Ise Sadakyo is ready to fight for it.
The corners of Oda Nobunaga's mouth became higher and higher, and a smile gradually appeared in his eyes.
"I understand what you mean. I will go to Nijo Imperial Palace tomorrow to participate in the council meeting.
It’s almost daybreak, I believe Ise-sama still has many things to prepare, so please go back first.”
Ise Sadakyo looked up at Oda Nobunaga and saw her eyes full of smiles, thinking that he had finally convinced her.
"Then...I'll take my leave first."
Ise Sadakyo said he was saying goodbye, but he looked at Oda Nobunaga eagerly.
Oda Nobunaga knew that Ise Sadakyo wanted a promise. She betrayed the shogunate, and of course she hoped to sell the Ise family at a good price and at least get a safety guarantee from Oda Nobunaga.
Oda Nobunaga said calmly.
"Tomorrow, I will give you an explanation at the council meeting."
Ise Sadakyo felt relieved and couldn't help but smile on his face.
"Then I'll take my leave first."
This time, she stopped procrastinating and simply bowed and left.
Oda Nobunaga looked at her leaving figure and clapped his hands. Mori Ranmaru walked into the room in small steps outside the door and bowed to the ground.
"Go and call Hideyoshi Hashiba."
"Hi!"
After Mori Ranmaru went out, Oda Nobunaga said to Niwa Nagahide.
"Let's continue. Where did we just talk?"
How could Niwa Nagahide have the time to talk about Minami Omi now? She was only focused on the beautiful vision that Ise Sada taught to Oda Nobunaga.
The Oda army was stationed in Kyoto, and Oda Nobunaga became the commander-in-chief and participated in the shogunate affairs. How powerful this was!
Niwa Nagahide looked at Oda Nobunaga strangely, feeling that something was not right about the master today.
With the Lord's temperament that loves to show off, she should be very happy to brag to herself about her abilities at this time, and her clever methods of recruiting Ise Sadato to her followers.
But Oda Nobunaga in front of him didn't seem to be interested in the affairs of Ise Sakyo, which made Niwa Nagahide feel strange.
She couldn't help but ask.
"Main Hall, tomorrow's matters..."
Oda Nobunaga glanced at her and laughed.
"Mi Wuniang, you always say that I can't hold my breath when doing things, and you advise me to be steady.
What? You are more impetuous than me today."
After teasing his confidant, which turned Niwa's cheeks red, Oda Nobunaga said slowly.
"I do aspire to the world, but I will never fight for it through the operation of despicable people. Ise Sadaoka makes me feel sick.
I am determined to conquer the world, and I will go forward with dignity. If anyone is not convinced, come and fight.
I will defeat all opponents, step on their surrendered backbones and their corpses of those who died in battle, and become a citizen of the world."
Niwa Nagahide looked at Oda Nobunaga, who had a firm voice and piercing eyes, and always felt that something was wrong.
Her master is not a reckless woman who is obsessed with force. In fact, she is very cunning in her methods. Today, some important officials of the shogunate are flattering and offering gifts, which is enough to divide the shogunate. Will she remain unmoved?
This is unreasonable.
