Yiyin didn't realize that he had spilled the beans, he was just worried.
Uesugi Teru's court appearance did not go well. He refused the Ashikaga family on the pretext of losing his integrity. According to Mibuchi Haruhi, the result was unpredictable.
He is inevitably irritable.
The two most important things after entering Beijing were both unsatisfactory, so how could I be in a good mood?
And Mitsuhide Akechi didn't know about the great trouble in Kanto caused by the system to Yoshihiro. In her opinion, Yoshihiro was worried about some of Ashikaga Yoshiteru's actions.
After all, the opponent is a general, so shameless. What else can I do? Resist? You can't slap Ashikaga Yoshiki, right?
That is a great sin!
Yoshihiro felt unspeakable, and Mitsuhide Akechi completely understood.
She tried to comfort her without leaving any trace.
"My Lord is going to the Buddhist Association tomorrow. As long as we pass the Odaisho Pass, the relationship between the Ashikaga family and the Shiba family will return to normal.
You don’t have to overthink it.”
Although Yoshihiro's self-contamination made Akechi Mitsuhide very uncomfortable, he had to admit that it was indeed a good way to cut through the mess quickly.
Yiyin shook his head.
"I just went to see Mibuchi Haruwan-sama, and I heard what she said. She can deal with the Grand Otaisuo regarding a breach of integrity, but it may not be able to dispel the general's idea."
Akechi Mitsuhide was stunned. She also did not expect that the general would be willing to risk the dignity of the Ashikaga family and insist on forming a relationship with his lord.
Although Ashikaga Yoshiki had many shortcomings, she was indeed a good general and acted to safeguard the interests of the shogunate and the Ashikaga family.
He cannot be said to be a stunning talent, but he is qualified as a steadfast king.
It's just that she was very unlucky. She succeeded to the throne when the shogunate was extremely corrupt, and she was very frustrated in doing things.
But according to the Lord's wishes, the general may disobey the Grand Imperial Palace and forcibly marry him as his husband.
Why is this so?
Seeing Akechi Mitsuhide's hesitation, Yoshihiro couldn't help but shake his head.
Akechi Mitsuhide is extremely intelligent, but Mibuchi Haru has been with the shogunate for many years, and has a deeper understanding of the Odaisho and the general.
The merger of Ashikawa and Ashikawa is related to the future of the Hosokawa Shiba Mibuchi Alliance, and she will not act without aim.
Now that I have said it, it is natural that I have weighed it for a long time and reached a conclusion.
After all, it is my beauty that is the trouble, who made me look so beautiful, alas.
Yiyin laughed at himself.
"The general is known as a strong-willed official, and he is not always calm. Once he gets angry, no one can hold him back.
Now it seems that a strategy that is out of integrity may not be effective. It is hard to tell the general's attitude towards Uesugi Teruhora after traveling to Kanto.
Forget it, let’s go through the Odaisho pass tomorrow and then talk about other things.”
Akechi Mitsuhide was stunned when he heard this.
She didn't want to believe it at first, but when she thought about it carefully, she realized that the general would be frivolous towards his master in the Imperial Palace, and she couldn't completely use the word profit to calculate her psychology.
Heart sinking, she looked at her white hands.
Do we still want to kill the general?
Yesterday I was so happy to let go of my heavy burden and no longer have to be a regicide. In just one day, the situation changed and I had to pick up the previous plan and continue.
Seeing that Akechi Mitsuhide was absent-minded, Yoshihiro offered words of comfort.
"Mingzhiji, don't think too much, I'm here for everything.
I will never give in."
His categorical words, to Akechi Mitsuhide's ears, were filled with the sorrow and helplessness of a martyr.
Akechi Mitsuhide looked at his lord who was obsessed with him, and his mood gradually calmed down.
Don't worry, Lord. Everything will be fine with my wise light and wisdom.
Little did Yoshiyin know that in just a moment, Akechi Mitsuhide was gloomily preparing to go back to the old road.
The two people's ideas are completely different, but they can communicate with each other and justify themselves, and then they are even more divergent and cannot find any intersection.
———
On the other side, Uesugi Teruhora returned to his residence and couldn't help but drink a few drinks, laughing happily.
Naoe Kanetsugu thought that the meeting would go well, and he was happy.
When he found out that he had received nothing except being given letters and participating in reviews, he couldn't help but look ugly.
"Your Highness, the general has not given a single word of his promise, so why should he be happy?
It seems that we have chosen the wrong path. Lord Gongfang obviously does not like Lord Qianxin to associate with my family.
His Highness is the Lord of Echigo, and it is simply unbelievable that he has not even obtained the status of a companion!"
Naoe Kanetsugu was really anxious.
Teruhora Uesugi took the risk to go to Luo for the support of the shogunate. Now that the general was not happy with her, the trip to Luo was almost meaningless.
Uesugi Teruhu was not worried, he held the wine glass and smiled.
"Kanetsuji, do you know what Lord Kenshin said to me?
He said he would follow me back to Echigo, hahaha."
Naoe Kanetsugu said with a dark face.
"There has been a legend in Kyoto since ancient times that Tamamo-mae captivated all living beings and charmed kings with her beauty.
I didn’t believe there really were vixens in this world, but now it seems that the rumors are groundless and may not be unreasonable.”
She pointed at Sang and Huai, and who she was talking about, Uesugi Teruhu naturally understood.
She wasn't upset and said with a smile.
"You are slandering Lord Kenshin. Are you going to kill Kantsuji?"
Naoe Kane continues his strong career path.
"Loyalty is hard on the ears but helps the deeds. I am your retainer, so naturally I must be honest and forthright.
The Uesugi family's great cause is the most important thing. Don't be obsessed with beauty and forget about the family business, Your Highness.
The affair between Mr. Gongfang and Mr. Kenshin has been widely spread in Kyoto.
My family should not be associated with Duke Qianxin, which would offend the general.
Things in Kanto are in chaos, so the shogunate should rely on my family.
After such a commotion, even if I get the position of leader of Kanto, my gains will be limited and it is really not worth it."
Naoe Kanetsugu was honest and outspoken, Uesugi Teruhora nodded and asked.
"Do you think that Mr. Gongfang and I are all beguiled by beauty and have forgotten our duties?"
Zhijiang Jianxu fell to the ground and kowtowed, asking for forgiveness.
"I don't dare, it's just that I won't be happy if I don't vomit."
Teru Uesugi laughed loudly.
"You, not us, don't understand.
When the general and I are in this position, we hold the power, and if we want a man, we can't find anything stunning.
But he is different, really different.
I admit, I have a good impression of him, and the general may be the same as me.
This is the man worthy of our pursuit. In terms of appearance, he is unparalleled and in terms of fighting skills, he is unparalleled in the world.
Only by gaining his favor can a hero's desire to conquer be satisfied.
But she and I are not blind, we just understand that only those who are humble and trustworthy can win the world."
Naoe Kanetsugu was a little confused and asked.
"If you have the Qianxin Gong, you can win the world? Is it possible that Lord Gongfang is confused?"
Uesugi Teruhu shook his head and said.
"Before going to Luo, I thought carefully about what the shogunate could give me and what price I would have to pay.
The name of the Uesugi family and the governorship of Kanto should belong to me. Mr. Kokata is just a generous person.
If you want me to fight for my life with the Hojo family, you have to give it to me. This is a deal, not a favor.
Only by granting me the status of accompanying others and giving me the imperial flag to accompany me can it be regarded as a great favor."
Naoe Kanetsugu nodded, it was true, the name of the Uesugi family and the Kanto governor were given by Kensei Uesugi.
Even if the general admits his fault, it is just to make the Kanto samurai family dog bite dog, so that the Uesugi family does not need to owe this favor.
The identity of the companions can clear away the stain of the Nagao family's subordinates, and the imperial flag can conquer unconquered subjects on behalf of the general and expand the territory.
These two are the objects that can help, and they are the kindness that the Uesugi family has to accept.
Terutora Uesugi said slowly with deep eyes.
"I actually don't want to owe the general too much. I'm more afraid that if she gives me too much, it will be difficult for me to do things in the future."
Naoe Kanetsugu carefully thought about his master's intention, and cold sweat gradually broke out from his back.
The Uesugi family has obtained the control of Kanto, and will expand in Kanto in the future by maintaining the righteous image of the shogunate.
But Uesugi Teruhu is happy because he doesn't owe the general too much. What does this mean?
Your Highness, are you confiding your feelings to me and showing your fangs?
