For the sake of his infatuated daughter, Odaisho began to attack Shiba Kenshin, the white moonlight in the hearts of men in Kyoto, who had made a big break for the man.
He directly rejected Ashikaga Yoshiteru's approach and said.
"You did something wrong and you shouldn't have given so much to the Spo family.
Men, that’s not how you chase.”
Ashikaga Yoshiki said doubtfully.
"Shouldn't I be nice to him?"
Da Ootai shook his head in disappointment.
The daughter's lofty status means that she never understands men and does not have to understand them.
"Just remember, the more you give and the more fervent you pursue, the more men will look down on you.
What do men want?
It's not your overwhelming love, it's not your true feelings, it's just that he thinks he wants you.
This world is too cruel to men. We are just appendages to women, like cats and dogs.
If you are happy, touch us a few times. If you are not happy, just ignore us.
Men are insecure animals."
Ashikaga Yoshiki became more and more confused as she listened. Odaisho looked at her seriously and said.
"You are a general and the most noble woman in the world.
You need to let him know.
If you are angry, he will feel bad. If you are happy, he will be very happy.
With you, he will be safe. Without you, he will be very unsafe.
Let him care about your feelings, please you, and miss you, instead of giving unilaterally like you do now.
This will make him feel that everything is within reach and that he should take it for granted.
He will ignore your efforts and use you as a tool to fulfill his wishes."
Ashikaga Yoshiteru seemed to understand but reluctantly nodded and asked.
"Father, what should I do?"
Da Ootaishuo said coldly.
"It's very simple.
Destroy his plan and leave him isolated, relying only on you.
Give him the newly built Sakamoto Castle."
Ashikaga Yoshiteru was confused again.
"Father, you just said you don't want to give it all, so why do you want to give Sakamoto Castle to him again?"
Da Ootaisuo sneered.
"He spoke for the Ninagawa family and made good friends with the ministers, but I want to make the ministers dare not speak out against him."
Ashikaga Yoshiki suddenly understood.
Taking advantage of the Rokkaku family's defeat, the shogunate forced their family to hand over the entrance to the Seta River from Lake Biwa to Kyoto, and built a castle here.
The new city had just been built and was named Sakamoto Castle. It was an important stronghold linking the trade route between Kyoto and Lake Biwa, and was a cornucopia of daily income.
The ministers thought for many years before they pulled this treasured land from the Rokkaku family.
If Spo Yiyin is allowed to go, the conflicts between the two sides will inevitably intensify.
Money moves people's hearts.
The mountain city's national stone is 220,000 stone high, but it supports many ministers, relying on Kyoto's commercial status.
Jinji is the center of the world, and Kyoto is the center of Jinji.
The first-line trade route between Sakai Port, Kyoto, and Lake Biwa is the central route linking Japan's north and south, with huge benefits.
At the beginning, Akechi Mitsuhide was not willing for the Shiba family to get involved in Kyoto business because the cake was too big and there were too many stakeholders.
He would rather go to Sakai Port, which is far away from Shiba territory, to look for business opportunities, rather than get involved in the complicated muddy waters of Kyoto.
The Odaisho wanted to get the Shiba family involved.
As long as the general proposes to give Sakamoto Castle to the Shiba family, the ministers will never give up.
There is no need to give anything, just a suggestion is enough to worsen the relationship between the two parties.
Because the business circle of Kyoto is within the confines of the shogunate, where the greatest interests lie.
In this mountain city country with a mere 200,000 koku, the shogunate group of the Ashikaga Shogunate has been supported for more than a hundred years.
Relying on land income? They would have starved to death.
Kyoto's business interests are the unshakable bottom line for ministers. Don't even think about trying them. Anyone who touches them will be their mortal enemies.
Ashikaga Yoshiki glanced at his father and saw that he was still spicy and clever.
This alone was not enough, Odaisho continued.
"There is no need to actually give it, just to express the general's goodwill towards the Spall family.
As long as you have this intention, the anxious ministers will take action.
Then let Omatosuke go out in Kyoto and tell him that Shiba Yiyin's hard work has made great achievements, and that you intend to be promoted to the rank of the Shiba clan.
Didn't he want to unite the Hosokawa and Mibuchi families?
Mibuchi Haru is honest and Hosokawa Motonsune has always been the talker between the two families.
If the Shiba clan entered the scene and the three families formed an alliance, would she, Hosokawa Motonsune, be panicked?
The Izumi-Hosokawa family is just a divided family.
How to deal with the Shiba clan? How to establish her leadership position among the three families?
It’s groundless and doesn’t require any proof, right?”
Ashikaga Yoshiki's heart was filled with chills, and the most poisonous thing was her husband's heart.
The Odaisho released a few ambiguous nonsense words and a piece of unfounded rumor, which made the ministers and local powerful people wary of the Shiba family. It was really cruel.
Ootaisuo seemed to know that his daughter was muttering in her heart that his methods were despicable, and she shook her head helplessly.
He didn't want to treat a man's family like this, if it weren't for his unlucky daughter to win this flower of the high mountain.
How could he be such a villain?
"General, have you ever thought about why the Miyoshi family is so polite to the Shiba family?"
Ashikaga Yoshiki thought for a while and then answered.
“Because Lord Yiyin’s battle formation is unparalleled?”
Odaisho couldn't help but laugh.
"Sanhao Changqing has been around for twenty years, and I have never seen any ruthless characters. No matter how powerful a person is, he is still made of flesh and blood.
If you can't fight in a single fight, you can fight in a group. If you can't fight in a battle, you can assassinate. As long as there is a need, will this owl care about the bright or dirty means?"
Ashikaga Yoshiteru actually had a vague feeling that something was wrong during the negotiation. After being lectured by his father, he got some clues.
"Are you saying that the Sanhao family wants to stir up trouble?"
Da Oitai nodded.
"Yes, although the Sibo family is the third leader, it has been in decline for too long.
It is said to be a revival, but in fact the foundation is shallow and it depends entirely on the support of that kid from Yiyin.
After all, he is a man. He has martial prowess but lacks status.
The Ashikaga family is famous and the Shiba family is brave. If a dispute arises, both parties will suffer.
The Sanhao family is really easy to calculate, but it's a pity that they didn't calculate you correctly."
Odaisu rolled his eyes at his daughter, Miyoshi Changqing didn't expect that you, the general, would be fascinated by male lust, and gave in to Shiba Yiyin step by step.
Ashikaga Yoshiki looked at Shantou, rubbing his hands and saying nothing.
The Odaisuo did not want to embarrass her and continued.
"The Sanhao family's idea failed, but one thing is right. The biggest trouble for the Sibo family and Sibo Yiyin is their reputation.
You were very smart when you took care of Isshiki Yoshiryu, how come you became so stupid when you met him?
Isshiki Yoshiryu wants Isshiki's family name, so give it to her.
Her father is a man and he follows his wife when he gets married.
You let her use the name of the Isshiki family, which is a grace. She has to remember your kindness, but she cannot touch the Isshiki family's family status.
Because men, our descendants are not qualified to inherit the family status of their mother's family.
Shiba Yiyin is amazingly talented, but if he wants to retain the reputation of the Shiba family, how can he get around you, the general.
Doesn’t he want to revive the Shiba family? The Shiba family without family dignity is nothing.”
Ashikaga Yoshiki's hands and feet were cold, which was completely different from what she had imagined.
