It was rare for Akechi Mitsuhide to be confused, but Hosokawa Fujitaka couldn't hold back his desire to express himself and spoke sarcastically.
Now Yoshigan and Akechi Mitsuhide are listening to her explanation attentively. If she can't explain something, they may not be able to step down.
Hosokawa Fujitaka has always maintained his intellectual prowess, and is not afraid to reveal his true talents and knowledge, and speak sarcastically.
"Mingzhi Ji, the higher the family status, the better. Have you ever heard a saying that it's too cold to be at a high place.
The Izumi-Hosokawa family and I are loyal to the general and do not want to be inferior in everything we do. Why do we never mention the matter of inheriting the Hosokawa clan?
When Gao Jinggong made great contributions to the shogunate, why did he retire bravely and refuse to stay in the post of leader?"
Gong is an honorific title.
Hosokawa Fujitaka is referring to Shiba Takasune, the ancestor of Yoshigan who established the Owari hereditary territory and the first shogunate of the Shiba family.
What Hosokawa Fujitaka said was indeed reasonable, but Akechi Mitsuhide couldn't figure it out for a while.
She is talented, but after all, she comes from a separate Toki family.
The Toki family is not a close associate of the shogunate, but a Mino daimyo who surrendered to the Ashikaga family. They don't know much about the secret affairs of the shogunate.
Shiba Yiyin is a man, and his family doesn't talk about these political ambiguities with boys, so he doesn't understand either.
Now I see that Hosokawa Fujitaka speaks truthfully and Akechi Mitsuhide is solemn and sincere.
"Mitsuhide is ignorant, please give me some advice from Hosokawa-hime."
Her attitude is very low, and she is focused on the revival of the Spall family. She will naturally want to find out if something goes wrong.
If you harm your Lord, you will regret it.
Hosokawa Fujitaka was stunned. He didn't expect Mitsuhide Akechi, who was always high-spirited, to be like this, and he couldn't pretend to be unpredictable.
Frankly said.
"Although the third leader and the general are blood relatives, they are not as harmonious as they appear..."
She spoke eloquently.
The relationship between the general and the leader is similar to that between the emperor and Guan Bai in the imperial court era.
Legend has it that the emperor is the descendant of the great god Sunshine, and he naturally has the right to rule the land of Japan.
The Fujiwara family inherited the position of Kanshiro, and after marrying the emperor, they gradually usurped the emperor's real power.
The era when the emperor was supported as a puppet by his relatives and the Fujiwara family was the people of the world was called the politics of sekiwan.
Regent is regent, Guan is Guan Bai, which means the political era in which Guan Bai had the final say.
Later, the emperor also counterattacked, and Guan Bai naturally refused to give in. The two sides continued to conflict, and in the end they took advantage of the Wu family.
The rise of the Wu family was due to their status as lackeys, working for the emperor or Guan Bai.
The emperor and Guan Bai fought, but it was the warrior Hime who joined both sides who died. Although cruel, it also gradually expanded the power of the samurai family.
Finally, the samurai family overthrew the imperial court. Genji became the shogun and controlled the world.
In the Ashikaga Shogunate, the relationship between the shogun and the governor was similar to that between the emperor and Sekihaku, in that they were kin.
When the shogun is weak, the leader becomes the person in charge of the shogunate as a member of the Ashikaga clan.
Therefore, the Sanguan clan is the highest-status family in the Ashikaga clan, but it is also the samurai family that the shogun most taboos against.
In the shogunate struggles of the past dynasties, generals or leaders were often defeated and died miserably.
What Hosokawa Fujitaka said about Shiba Takasuzu was that he was afraid of internal fighting and retreated on his own, but in the end he still didn't get a good ending.
The decline of the shogunate was closely related to the internal strife involving the generals, the three leaders, and even the four officials.
It can be said that it was the internal friction between them that led to the current situation of the shogunate.
The most recent one was the battle between Ashikaga Yoshiteru's mother and the Hosokawa clan of Awa Kingdom.
During that civil strife, General Ashikaga was forced to flee Kyoto, and his prestige was greatly damaged.
The Hosokawa family was even worse. They were overpowered by the Miyoshi family and completely turned into puppets. All members of the family were dead.
The Ashikaga family and the Hosokawa clan both suffered losses, which led to the rise of the Miyoshi family.
However, what Sanhao Changqing pursues is the leadership authority, which can negate the power of the general.
Hosokawa Fujitakabayashi Lin always said a lot, and finally took a breath and said.
"My Izumi-Hosokawa family and I have been operating in the shogunate for many years, but we don't dare to seek the honor of the Hosokawa clan.
Your Shiba family has just been revived, and you want the family status of the clan.
Doesn't this tell the general that you are ambitious and want to replace him?"
Yoshihiro smiled bitterly after hearing this, and Akechi Mitsuhide kept shaking his head. He really thought of things too simply.
Akechi Mitsuhide's desire to obtain the clan status was nothing more than laying a solid foundation for the Shiba family.
Because Yiyin does not have a genealogical lineage, it needs a family pedigree to maintain the family's prestige.
He is a man, and the inheritance of family business is more troublesome than that of a woman. To gain recognition from the martial arts family, he must have sufficient family status.
Yoshigan was encouraged by Mitsuhide Akechi to ask for it. He didn't think so much about it. If it didn't work, then forget it.
However, Hosokawa Fujitaka's words revealed a bit of Ashikaga Yoshiteru's feelings.
He couldn't help but ask.
“Two members of the third-in-command clan have been wiped out, and the power of the Hatakeyama family has now fallen to the bottom.
In fact, the general is happy to see you?"
Hosokawa and her daughter were silent.
I can't accept this! What should I say? The general is happily watching the three leaders and their families being destroyed?
So disharmonious!
But now Ashikaga Shogun is the dominant one. Although the shogunate has declined, there are no internal opponents.
To put it bluntly, even though Ashikaga Yoshiki is melancholy, he also does not hope that the third leader clan will rise again.
Unless the Ashikaga family's protective system is destroyed, other samurai families cannot replace the Ashikaga shogun.
Only these three families are the samurai families in the guardian system that can truly threaten the Ashikaga family.
Judging from their expressions, Yiyin probably understood and couldn't help but shake his head.
Ashikaga Yoshiteru also contributed a lot to the Kawachi Hatakeyama family's decline to this point.
As long as she gives more warnings and forces Hatakeyama Takamasa to behave well, the foundation of the Hatakeyama family will not be like this.
Kii and Hanoi have a combined territory of 480,000 koku. If the shogunate actively intervened, it would not be so easy to lose.
Half of Hatakeyama Takamasa's reputation as a prodigal daughter was due to her, and the other half was due to the fact that the Ashikaga family looked on coldly and refused to supervise her.
Whoever gets such a huge family fortune can't expand it? Indulging her would be harming her.
It is fitting that the shogunate is getting weaker and weaker, just because it is too narrow-minded. The Ashikaga shoguns are also getting worse from generation to generation.
The weak shogunate, the general who is extremely power-hungry, the ministers who have their own agendas, and the powerful local factions who stick together for warmth.
This was the ruling class of samurai society after the Ashikaga Shogunate ruled for more than a hundred years.
They each have their own desires, but the only thing they have in common is to maintain the majesty of the shogunate and profit from it.
Yiyin could hardly help but laugh out loud. It was going to be over sooner or later. No wonder Yuzuo Shinjiao was in a hurry to jump off the ship and run away.
It's a pity that Shiba Yiyin has a noble family in the guardianship system, and he was born to receive the dividends from the shogunate, so he suffered a huge loss.
I had no choice but to accompany these shogunate rentiers to continue playing the tricks of loyalty, filial piety and benevolence until...
Yoshigan glanced at Mitsuhide Akechi, who was smiling elegantly next to him.
He was helpless. The most trusted advisor around him seemed to have some anti-Ashikaga scheming behind his back.
Compared with the resourceful people in these martial arts families, his brain is not very good, so he can use it as he sees it.
Anyway, you have the system in hand, so you don’t have to worry about suffering any losses.
In the end, Yiyin did not choose to change the conditions and let the Hosokawa family pay the debt. Since he was the stupid one, he had to accept his defeat.
After saying goodbye, Hosokawa and her daughter walked out of the Shiba camp.
Hosokawa Motonsune looked at the Yiyin military tent hidden in the darkness behind him, and suddenly asked.
"Futaka, I stopped your mother, Miyuan, from getting married to Lord Kenshin.
