Mibuchi Fujihide surrendered to Oda Nobunaga and allowed the land of North Kawachi to fall under the control of the Oda family. This has indeed left a corner of the defense system of the Shiba Territory missing in recent years, making it somewhat passive militarily.
But then again, the bottom line is that Haru Mibuchi failed to take care of his daughter and raised a white-eyed wolf. Is this related to Mitsuhide Akechi?
If Nizi Katsuhisa must hold Akechi Mitsuhide accountable for his diplomatic dereliction of duty, will he also hold him accountable for the incompetence of his ally, Haruka Mibuchi?
Where does Yoshihiro Shiba put his face? Should his aunt-nephew relationship with Haruka Mibuchi continue?
Mibuchi Haru is the Shiba family's staunchest ally among the Hosokawa Mibuchi family. In public and private matters, Shiba Yoshigan must recognize this aunt.
Akechi Mitsuhide brought up Haru Mibuchi to talk about the matter, leaving Nizi Katsuhisa unable to say anything, let alone using the topic.
Nizi Shengjiu sighed.
"Well, it's not easy for Mr. Sanyuan either. It's better to wait until your Majesty comes back to decide this matter."
Akechi Mitsuhide smiled slightly.
"Actually, things are not that bad.
Although Mibuchi Fujihide relied on His Majesty Oda, he temporarily stabilized the territory of Kitakawachi.
However, as a retainer of the Mibuchi family, the retainer group did not have the ability to completely control the Shikakusho of Kitakawachi. In fact, it had always relied on the retainer group of the Izumi-Hosokawa family to help manage the territory.
As the heir to the Izumi Hosokawa family, Fujitaka Hosokawa was assassinated by Fujihide Mibuchi. This incident cannot be justified.
Even if the relationship is as close as the Hosokawa Mibuchi family, they still have two family names. The group of retainers who depend on the family name to eat are not a family in the final analysis.
After Hosokawa Fujitaka made this incident public, Hosokawa Motonsune was unable to suppress the anger of the retainers, and Mibuchi Fujihide's control over Kitakawachi became very fragile.
Mibuchi Fujihide is now relying on His Majesty Oda's female power to intimidate the people in North Kawachi. The local samurai are worried that expelling Mibuchi Fujihide will lead to a large-scale crusade by His Majesty Oda.
But if His Majesty Oda's war against His Majesty Kitanomi Asai is not devastated, but drags on, then people's hearts will be impetuous.
Hosokawa Fujitaka's wisdom is inferior to that of the mediocre Mibuchi Fujihide. She is not taking action now, but is just waiting for Kitomi's changes.
Niziji, just wait and see. Once the war in Kitaomi reaches a stalemate, Mibuchi Fujihide will be in trouble."
Does Nizi Katsuhisa really care about the civil strife in the Hosokawa Mibuchi family? She just can't understand Akechi Mitsuhide's virtue of being a master of wisdom and causing trouble everywhere.
At this time, the words were neither speculative nor offensive, and Mitsuhide Akechi showed that he was confident and full of confidence in Hosokawa Fujitaka.
Nizi Shengjiu always felt a little tight in the chest, so he took a sip of the tea soup. The astringency of the tea powder spread on the back of his tongue, making him feel unspeakably uncomfortable.
Akechi Mitsuhide was also a wise man. Seeing that Nizi Katsuhisa was already a little impatient, he stopped pursuing the victory and causing trouble for others.
She was drinking tea by herself, thinking about how to deal with Matsunaga Hide who was about to come to her door after seeing Nizi Katsuhisa away.
———
In recent years, there have been constant undercurrents in the Spurs leadership, and Nizi Shengjiu, as the chief housekeeper, is also very worried.
If it weren't for Yoshihiro Shiba's kindness, or if it wasn't for the hard-won opportunity for Nizi's family to resurrect, she would have just left it alone and allowed Mitsuhide Akechi to quarrel with Maeda's interests.
She really didn't believe it anymore. Do these two guys dare to stir up trouble in recent weeks in Sibo and provoke Sibo Yiyin's thunderous wrath?
Two licking dogs competing for favor, haha.
Shiba Yiyin, who was far away in Kanto, had no idea that Nizi Katsuhisa was depressed. The troubles he encountered were much more than those of Nizi Katsuhisa.
Imperial Palace, atrium.
Yiyin was sitting on the porch, looking at the scenery in the courtyard, thinking about his thoughts. Beside him, the big bear was respectfully waiting for the emperor's instructions.
Yiyin turned to look at her and asked.
"In accordance with the establishment of a clean government organization and a clean government system, the Tongxin Secretariat is responsible for assisting in auditing. Do you think this arrangement is appropriate?"
Big Bear kowtowed to Chaoxiu and said.
"I will obey your Majesty's will and don't dare to disobey me."
Yiyin smiled.
"I dare not disobey you, but you still feel a little resentful in your heart, right?"
Big Bear shook towards Xiu, raised his head and said sincerely.
"Your Majesty, when I was not angry and raised an army to resist His Highness Uesugi, I was completely despondent and wanted to defend my dignity by dying on the battlefield.
It is your Majesty who took care of me, provided me with food, trusted me, used me, and entrusted me with important responsibilities. This is why I, Daxiong Chaoxiu, have achieved what I have today.
I dare not forget your kindness and great kindness for a day. This place of worship is your place of worship. Whatever you say should be done, then do it!"
Daxiong Chaoxiu, a loyal dog, would not dare to show her teeth in front of Shiba Yiyin, even if she was unwilling to do so.
Back then, she was bullied by the Uesugi people and had no choice but to rebel. Yoshigan gave her a way to survive. The situation today is actually similar.
In Echigo's dual-headed politics, Shiba Uesugi competed in a separate court. Ohkuma Asahide was able to have a place because of the power of Shiba Yoshigan. She knew this very well.
Without the support of Shiba Yiyin, how could she manage such a huge interest in the Hokuriku Trade Route and control the core institution of the practice.
Daxiong Chaoxiu's power and position came from Shiba Yiyin, and she dared not disobey him at all. She could not afford to lose the trust of Shiba Yiyin.
If you want to hate me, you also hate the treacherous and sycophantic man in Dazang Chang'an who stirred up trouble in front of your Majesty and rejected dissenters.
Yiyin smiled when he saw how knowledgeable she was.
"As long as you understand, the power of the law enforcement agency is getting bigger and bigger, and there must be a supervision mechanism. This is a good thing for everyone.
It's not that I don't trust you as a person, it's just that you are in charge of a large group of people, so you should understand how capable the people below are at making trouble.
If you rely on being unprepared, you will suffer the consequences. Establishing a corresponding supervision system will make it easier for you and me and reduce the risk of unnecessary disasters.
The Integrity Committee has just been established, and it will take some time to get up and running from scratch.
Do you think half a year is enough?"
Daxiong Chaoxiu understands that the Lord is giving her time to put things in order first and then implement supervision.
During this period of time, she can use the clean government people to talk things over and clean up the bad debts of those bad people internally, so as not to be caught off guard by Dazang Changan.
It was much easier to deal with the people who had trouble dealing with the situation before because they had legitimate reasons this time.
Big Bear bowed to Xiu and said.
"The benevolence of the emperor will be remembered deeply by his subordinates and will never be forgotten."
Yiyin waved his hands, silent in thought.
Originally, he wanted to advise Da Xiong Chaoxiu to make peace with Da Zang Chang'an by saying that the overall situation was the most important thing.
But then I thought about it, the two people were causing trouble for each other, and each of them found a parent for the other. The grudge was so deep, how could they shake hands and make peace with just a few words of persuasion?
Even if the two of them showed sincerity and unity in front of Yiyin, no one would hesitate if they had the chance to stab him later. In this case, why waste their words.
Yoshigan smiled helplessly, and happened to see Naomasa Ii bringing the small table with breakfast to him, and bowed slightly to him.
He pointed to the small dining table and said.
"Bring a piece to Big Bear Princess too."
Ii Naomasa was ordered to leave, and Daxiong Chaoxiu repeatedly confessed.
"I'm really sorry. I came too early and affected your dinner."
Yiyin waved his hands and said.
"It's because I can't wake up lately and wake up a little late. It has nothing to do with you.
However, you are in luck.
Sanada Hime sent some dried matsutake mushrooms, and the kitchen didn’t know how to make them, but they tasted really good.
Matsutake white rice porridge, plus a few drops of sesame oil... Hey, you can try it later, I ate several meals, which is quite extravagant."
Yiyin has been in this world for eighteen years, and he has never cared about eating or drinking. It's not that he has no interest in food, it's just that in this barren medieval island country, there really isn't much food that he cares about.
Moreover, the Wu family spent all its resources on fighting the war. Even if the master ate a few more meals of white rice, his subordinates would judge him as extravagant.
He might as well keep his mouth shut and don't cause trouble for himself. Since he doesn't have the chance to eat delicious food, he can compensate himself by getting a few more beauties.
But this time, the dried matsutake mushrooms sent by Nobushige Sanada surprised Yoshigan.
The breakfast I had for several days was matsutake rice porridge, white rice and sesame oil. In the eyes of the martial arts family in this world, it was too luxurious.
At this moment, Yiyin had to explain a few words to Daxiong Chaoxiu first to prevent her from having any opinions about him.
Daxiong Chaoxiu was not the kind of person who would go against Yan's advice. When those who followed her were just good flatterers, she naturally said happily.
"Your Majesty treats yourself too harshly, which makes me and my subordinates feel so embarrassed.
Speaking of this dried matsutake, I've heard a little bit about it. It was originally a rare item from Sakai Port. Where did Sanada-hime find the talent and actually copied it in Azuma County? It's amazing."
Yiyin smiled helplessly.
"He is a very lucky person, and I don't know where his charisma comes from. It seems like capable people will pop up out of the ground just to be like her.
I couldn't even recruit talents like Umino Riichi myself, so I was determined to follow this monkey, which left me quite speechless.
I was originally worried that she was so ambitious that taking Minawa Castle would not be enough, and that she would continue to cause trouble in the Nishi Ueno area.
But she picked up a few talents from somewhere and actually managed the territory, which was really impressive. There were rules and regulations for the family, territory management, and even the development of financial resources.
She came to see her a while ago, and I thought this mountain monkey had changed her temper. But as soon as we met, she pulled my sleeve and cried, and I really couldn't do anything to her."
Ohuma Asahide didn't feel bad when he heard Yoshigan's sigh, and he obviously admired Sanada Nobushige's self-reliance.
Peaceful development is the core of Shiba's new thinking. Sanada Nobushige's idea of self-reliance and concentrating on managing the territory coincides with Yoshibank's philosophy.
Daxiong Chaoxiu joked.
"That's why you gave her a piece of paper and asked her to come to Jiangjin Customs to ask for a few merchant ship positions?"
Yiyin sighed.
"It gave me a headache, so let her have her way once. Anyway, dried matsutake won't occupy a few positions, so let her do whatever she wants."
Da Xiong smiled slightly at Chao Xiu.
Dried matsutake doesn't occupy many positions, but the master's customs are very valuable. That bastard Sanada Nobunshi uses the customs to show off his power, and only pays a small amount of commercial tax for customs clearance.
Dried matsutake mushrooms are considered a luxury product and are subject to heavy taxes. However, Yoshihiro's official text was written carelessly, allowing Sanada Nobushige to take advantage of it.
The human spirit under Nashan Monkey insists on classifying dried matsutake mushrooms as general goods. The only thing that has ever been stuck at Jiangjin Pass is other people's goods. This is the first time I encountered someone who dared to rip off Jiangjin Pass.
But Daxiong Chaoxiu didn't want to mention this matter to his lord, and it would be useless to mention it.
The Lord is obviously planning to use Sanada Nobunaga's self-reliance as a model, and to do further positive propaganda in line with the concept of peaceful development.
At this time, when it was said that Sanada Nobushige was cheating and evading taxes, the lord just laughed and called the mountain monkey a scoundrel, but it was unnecessary for Daxiong Chaohide to offend a prince.
Anyway, the prison office doesn't like the amount of money Matsutake made, so let's just fool around with it. It's best if the anti-corruption people can find out, just in time for Dazang Chang'an to offend someone, even if she's smart and doesn't care.
Yiyin didn't know what thoughts were running through Daxiong Chaoxiu's mind. He was really looking forward to this bowl of matsutake and sesame oil porridge, which was also a rare memory on the tip of his tongue.
The two of them ate their porridge in silence, and waited until they had finished drinking and cleared the table before continuing to talk about things.
Yiyin stood up from the porch, patted his sleeves, and walked down the stairs.
"Let's take a walk together and just treat ourselves to a meal."
Da Xiong quickly stood up and followed Chao Xiu.
"Hi."
After taking a few steps, Yiyin suddenly asked.
"I heard that there are some criticisms about the Standing Council of the Kanto Palace. Is it true?"
Daxiong Chaoxiu froze and answered cautiously.
"It's definitely a different sound."
Yiyin glanced at Daxiong Chaoxiu.
The Kanto Shisho established a standing board of directors, and he chose three people, Yamanaka Yukimori, Shima Katsume, and Ohuma Chaohide, to serve as permanent directors, and they were called Laozhong.
Yukimori in the mountains and Shengmeng in the island are the direct descendants of Yiyin who was brought to Kanto from Konji.
Including Daxiong Chaoxiu is to compensate her for the loss caused by being sidelined by Dazang Changan, and it is also a different kind of reward to recognize her loyal work in recent years and give her comfort.
For the position of Laozhong, Yiyin plans to appoint five people, three of whom will serve as permanent Laozhong, and two non-permanent Laozhongs. The powerful martial arts in the Kanto Palace will take turns to serve as a balance.
Regarding this matter, Yiyin has issued a document to announce it to the public, and is preparing to discuss it at the next Kanto Shrine Council meeting to get this matter done as soon as possible.
But he didn't expect that the feedback from the outside world was actually somewhat against the council.
The strength of the Kanto Palace has grown steadily over the years, and its influence on Kanto has become stronger and stronger. He originally thought that the establishment of the Standing Council would be a matter of course, but he did not expect that the response would be poor.
Yiyin suddenly felt unsure about the council meeting in the next few days. Just when Daxiong Chaoxiu came to see her, he simply asked her for her opinion.
After all, she is one of the three permanent senior middlemen appointed by Yiyin, and a vested interest in the Standing Council. Since she has received benefits, she has to share your worries.
Daxiong Chaoxiu was also hesitant, not knowing how to answer Yiyin's question.
What is lost is the east corner, and what is gained is the mulberry tree.
She was stabbed by Dazang Changan, and the reason why she was not too angry was because although Yiyin restricted her rights in the practice, it also gave her a sweet date to appease her, that is, Chang Ren Laozhong.
