Chapter 1612: There are other choices for intimacy
Yoshigan's warning made Hosokawa Fujitaka slightly embarrassed.
Overtly, he asked Hosokawa Fujitaka to warn Tomomitsuhide, but secretly he pointed out that Hosokawa Fujitaka's attack on Miyoshi Yoshitsugu had bad intentions and asked her not to imitate Akechi Mitsuhide's secret tricks.
All in all, Akechi Mitsuhide and Hosokawa Fujitaka, the bed sisters, have already left a deep impression on Yoshigami as troublemakers.
At this time, Hosokawa Fujitaka did not dare to refute and complain, so he could only kowtow to the ground and said.
"I will strictly follow the teachings of the saint and I will definitely convey your wishes to Mitsuhide."
Although the two of them had just made love, and their lower bodies were still a little wet from the exchange, Hosokawa Fujitaka did not dare to be presumptuous because of this, and he took Yoshigan's warning very seriously.
Emotions are emotions, politics are politics.
Being able to discuss politics in bed is already an advantage that is difficult for outsiders to take advantage of. Hosokawa Fujitaka will not do anything stupid and arrogant.
Yoshigami nodded with satisfaction. Hosokawa Fujitaka, who was born in the Hosokawa family, was a traditional shogunate warrior who knew how to proceed and retreat.
Although she is not Yiyin's favorite lover, she is the most sensible and good helper who will not make Yiyin feel disgusted.
Yiyin will naturally not treat such an ally badly, and there are many things that need her help.
Yiyin said.
"In a few days, the Nanman captain Lilu and her adjutant Christina will go to Luo and enter the capital.
The shogunate should face up to the importance of Nanman trade and establish a new official position to manage Nanman trade, called the Nanman General Agent.
Lilu and her men made great contributions in the battle of Yuwu Lake. I will nominate her to be the general agent of the Southern Barbarians, responsible for all trade matters with the Southern Barbarians.
At present, we are temporarily out of reach of foreign-related ports such as Hakata Port on Kyushu Island, and the window for Nanban trade is limited to Sakai Port.
Sakai Port is under your control, and I hope you can support the shogunate's work on Nanman trade and support Lilu as the Nanman general agent."
Hosokawa Fujitaka nodded.
"Since she is the general agent of the Southern Barbarians accepted by the Saint, I will naturally respect her authority and assist her in carrying out her work in Sakai Port."
Yiyin nodded.
"Her authority is limited to matters related to Nanban. It will not cause any trouble to your rights in Sakai Port, and the rights of the customs office will not be infringed."
With Yoshigan's assurance, Hosokawa Fujitaka breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and nodded.
Ignoring the trivial matter of Nanman trade, Yiyin continued.
"The general hastily hunted to the west, and the Ashikaga warriors were abandoned in the capital without a leader. They were panic-stricken. They have asked Hatakeyama Takamasa to come to me."
Hosokawa Fujitaka sighed.
"The Ashikaga Horsemen have been loyal to the Ashikaga family for 150 years, but in the end they were abandoned by the Ashikaga Shogun. It is really sad."
Yiyin followed and sighed.
"The general acted without consideration and was a little cold, which chilled the hearts of loyal ministers. As an elder of the Genji family, I could not ignore the tragic situation of loyal ministers.
I intend to follow the example of the martyr Yusiba and give the honorary title of Ashikama Huizhong and enjoy the same treatment as Yusiba's establishment."
Hosokawa Fujitaka was stunned and said.
"Sage, that's a total of five hundred people. If they all want to enjoy the benefits of Spo's establishment, the burden will be heavy."
Yiyin said calmly.
“A thousand gold pieces of gold were used to buy horse bones, and the platform was built since Wei.
Although the Ashikama Kaishu are far less glorious than in the past, their loyalty and courage are no weaker than those of their predecessors.
Whether it is to the previous shoguns or to the current shoguns, the Ashikaga Hui will always stick to their duty and stick to their duties, which is in line with the principles of the samurai family and their loyalty should be promoted."
Hosokawa Fujitaka thought thoughtfully, Yoshigan was giving eye drops to Ashikaga Yoshiaki who fled Kyoto.
No matter how wronged Ashikaga Yoshiaki was and how good her reasons for leaving Kyoto were, the fact that she abandoned Ashikaga and returned to the community is a stain that cannot be washed away.
The Wu family is rewarded by the public, and responsibility and power are relative.
The Ashikaga family has been benevolent to the Ashikaga clan for generations, and even though the Ashikaga shogun has fallen to the embarrassing level of Ashikaga Yoshiaki, his salary cannot be paid.
However, the Ashikaga warriors still brought their own dry food and continued to serve the Ashikaga shogun. In this era when fashion prevailed, they could be regarded as a model of samurai ethics.
And Ashikaga Yoshiaki's behavior of running away overnight because he could not afford his salary, and abandoning the Ashikaga Hui people as a burden, seemed particularly despicable.
As the leader of the shogunate, Yiyin was a man of perfect morals and a saint of the martial arts family, so naturally he could not openly criticize the general.
But he could make Ashikaga Yoshiaki become a bad smell by giving generous treatment to the Ashikaga Hui and through the mouths of the Ashikaga Hui.
The Ashikaga Horsemen were formed by the third-generation shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, and they are the most loyal eagle dogs of the Ashikaga family. Even if such a hawk dog can be easily abandoned, who would dare to be truly loyal to Ashikaga Yoshiaki?
Ashikaga Yoshiaki, a poor man, was not only poor, but also had a cold temperament.
The Tomon shogunate she reopened with the help of the Mori family didn't even welcome Ashikaga's besties like the Ashikaga Huichu, so what political value could it have?
Before the door of Ashikaga Yoshiaki's separate center was opened, a basin of sewage was poured on it.
Hosokawa Fujitaka nodded.
"There is a huge difference between the benevolence and righteousness of a saint and the willfulness of a general.
The world's samurai have sharp eyes, and they can naturally distinguish right from wrong. Ashikama Huichu and other shogunate samurai will also disdain the pseudo shogunate built by the Mori family by hijacking the general."
Hosokawa Fujitaka knew politics very well, so Yoshigan wasted no time in explaining things.
Yoshigan also used this opportunity to give Hosokawa Fujitaka a big gift to win over the newly minted Izumi Hosokawa family governor, the most important ally of the Shiba family in Nishima.
The in-depth exchange of feelings between the two parties in bed was limited to Hosokawa Fujitaka personally. If Yoshigan wanted the entire Izumi-Hosokawa family to closely follow the Shiba family, more means would be needed to bind the interests of both parties.
Yiyin said.
"I am not familiar with the various families within the shogunate, but the Izumi-Hosokawa family has been immersed in shogunate politics for many years and is most familiar with the situation of each family. I need your help to sort out the list of members of the Ashikama Hui clan.
The annuity payment for Sibo Ling in the three places has ended, and the Sibo Zhong Fund can be freed up to complete the benefits distribution to the Sibo martyrs as soon as possible.
The Hokurikudo seaport is frozen, but the Yodogawa water transport here has not been affected in recent days.
I have ordered Ishida Mitsunari, the head of the Tadashi Foundation, to transport grain from the Sakai Port granary to Luo. In three to five days, the grain ship will arrive in Kyoto.
Considering that deep winter is approaching, every household in the Ashikama Hui community has been without food for many days, fearing the tragedy of starving to death.
I will ask the Shiba Army's military depot in Kyoto to send part of the military rations first to replace them, and give priority to the Ashikaga warriors who have run out of food.
Fujitaka, the situation is urgent. You need to find out the current situation of everyone in the Ashikama Regiment as soon as possible. I hope to start distributing food tomorrow.
I leave this matter to you."
Hosokawa Fujitaka was overjoyed when he heard this. He naturally kowtowed to the ground and hurriedly agreed.
Although it was Yoshihiro who showed mercy, it was the Shiba family's care for the Ashikaga community. However, Hosokawa Fujitaka, who was actually in charge of the food distribution affairs, would also benefit a lot from this matter.
Fujitaka Hosokawa had just taken up the position of governor of Izumi Hosokawa, and her new governor was still being scrutinized both inside and outside the family.
Yiyin entrusted her with the responsibility for the kindness of Ashikama's return to the public, which would benefit her in two ways.
First, the outward display of Yoshibank's support shows that the transfer of power of the Izumi-Hosokawa family is recognized by Yoshibank.
The Shiba family sent troops twice to attack the Miyoshi family and restore the decline of the Izumi Hosokawa family's family business. The Hosokawa retainers were deeply in awe of Yoshigan.
With Yoshigan's endorsement, there will be no more recurrences in the Izumi Hosokawa family, and the rumors that Hosokawa Fujitaka used means to seize the family property will also subside.
Secondly, because of this incident, the Izumi-Hosokawa family will inevitably deepen their relationship with the Ashikaga Hui clan.
The Ashikaga clan did not exist in isolation, but were closely intertwined with the various families of the shogunate. This incident also increased the influence of the Izumi-Hosokawa family on the various families of the shogunate.
This is a big political red envelope given by Yoshigan to the Izumi Hosokawa family. The Hosokawa retainers must be grateful and more dependent on the Shiba family.
Faced with Hosokawa Fujitaka's joy, Yoshigan had his own plans.
It stands to reason that the Ashikama Hui Community submitted the letter through the channel of Hatakeyama Takamasa. Even if Yoshigan was gracious, it should have been sent back to the Ashikama Hui Community through Hatakeyama Takamasa.
When Yoshigan asked Hosokawa Fujitaka to do this, he deliberately elevated Hosokawa Fujitaka and belittled Hatakeyama Takamasa, the leader of the shogunate.
Originally, Yoshigan was very relieved about Hatakeyama Takamasa.
When Ashikaga Yoshiaki was engaged in mischief, Hatakeyama Takamasa, a mad dog, stood on Yoshigan's side and bit the Ashikaga General as the governor of the Hatakeyama clan, which saved Yoshigan a lot of worries.
In addition, Hatakeyama Takamasa's family business was decadent, and Hatakeyama's territory in Minamikochi relied on Yoshigan's help to support her. Hatakeyama Takamasa did not shy away from calling Yoshigan his father in front of Ninagawa.
But such a good, seemingly loyal and reliable dog has made Yiyin feel more and more uncomfortable recently.
First of all, it was Hatakeyama Takamasa's performance in both the Miyoshi Yoshitsugu Conquest and the Yuwu Lake Battle. She and Ninagawa Akashi became the representatives of the grassroots, which disappointed Yoshigan.
Secondly, Hatakeyama Takamasa actively suppressed the general Ashikaga Yoshiaki in the shogunate politics, trying to replace General Ashikaga as the leader of the shogunate and exert greater influence, which made Yoshigan alert.
In the end, Hatakeyama Takamasa actually started to hint his admiration for Yoshigan, seemed to want to take a shortcut in bed politics, and even coveted the bloodline of the Goddess, which made Yoshigan very disgusted.
At that time, Hatakeyama Takamasa was a lover of public life with a slutty private life. The first time Yoshigan met her was to save Yamanaka Yukimori, a little white rabbit who was almost raped by Hatakeyama Takamasa.
This kind of person wants to climb into Yiyin's bed. Not to mention whether the Ji warriors who love Yiyin agree or not, Yiyin himself is a little uncomfortable with it.
Who knows if Hatakeyama Takamasa had no taboos about men and women when he was having sex? Although Yoshigan is not mysophobic, he doesn't like to look for food in trash cans either.
Leaving the matter of Ashikaga's return to the public to Hosokawa Fujitaka also showed Yoshigan's attitude.
There is a difference between closeness and distance. Hosokawa Fujitaka is close with negative distance, while Hatakeyama Takamasa is at the same level as Ninagawa Masayo at most, not that close.
This kind of non-obvious political statement will be received by all the samurai families in the shogunate, cutting off Hatakeyama Takamasa's delusions.
Yoshihiro doesn't care whether Hatakeyama Takamasa will be dissatisfied because of this.
He believed that Hatakeyama Takamasa, a vicious dog, would not dare to show his teeth at him. As for Hatakeyama Takamasa's ill will towards Hosokawa Fujitaka, he would have to be able to fight against the two powerful sisters, Hosokawa Fujitaka and Akechi Mitsuhide.
Yoshigan felt his scalp numb when he saw these two scourges, not to mention the mediocre Hatakeyama Takamasa.
