Da Yutai returned to his residence, still angry.
This time the Buddha ceremony was so humiliating that the husbands of each family did not dare to talk about it, but in their hearts they watched the Ashikaga family's joke.
Ashikaga Teru-kun's childish heart and sincere words, in exchange for a word of silver, are not worthy of Bai Muzan.
After tonight, the whole of Kyoto will know that Lord Kenshin would rather admit his loss of integrity than marry into the Ashikaga family.
What a shame!
He thought about it, but still couldn't figure out what was going on in Shiba Yiyin's mind.
If we unite, we will both benefit, if we divide, we will suffer both harms. Even if the two families are not destined to be together, they will not defile themselves like this.
Although his methods were a bit over the top, it was just to seize the initiative after Yoshigami married into the Ashikaga family.
As for the marriage itself, the Sibo family does not suffer a loss, and their status and strength can be improved.
Even if he thought about it for ten days and ten nights, he still couldn't understand what Shiba Yiyin did.
Why is this so!
At this time, the servant outside the palace came to report that the general asked to see him, and the Grand Imperial Palace was immediately furious.
My silly daughter could only think about that young man. Look, the Buddha ceremony had just ended, and she hurriedly came over to find out the result.
Shame on you!
With a cold face, he asked the general to be called in.
Ashikaga Yoshiteru was full of expectations. When he came in and saw that there was no kindness on the Odai's face in the past, only coldness, he had a bad feeling in his heart.
Otaisho didn't talk nonsense and said it bluntly.
"This is the end of the Lisboa confluence."
Although Ashikaga Yoshiki was somewhat prepared, he still didn't expect him to be so determined and lost his voice.
"Father, why?"
Da Ootaisuo glared at him and sneered.
"It's not like your sweetheart is so good at making me so embarrassed today.
Awesome, what a great guy."
Ashikaga Yoshiteru had never seen his father so glum, and he didn't know how to ask.
Da Yutai said not wanting to embarrass her.
"He couldn't wear Bai Wuguan, so he rejected me.
What can I do? If I push him one step further, he will reveal that he has lost his integrity.
At that point, do the Ashikaga and Shiba families still have room for maneuver?"
Ashikaga Yoshiki's expression changed drastically. She did not expect that since Yoshiki was so strong-willed, he would even talk about losing his virginity in order not to marry her.
When things have reached this point, the Oitaisho really can't push it any further.
But what about her?
Is she destined to have no fate with him?
Thinking of this, Ashikaga Yoshiteru's heart was cut by a knife. She had never experienced this feeling before.
I don't want to lose him, I want him!
he murmured.
"No, there must be a way. Why is he unwilling? Why, I won't dislike him for not being perfect."
Her bewildered look made Otaishuo feel disgusted and distressed at the same time.
"Ashikaga Yoshiki, please wake up. You are the governor of the Ashikaga family and the lord of the world. How can you lose your head over a man!
Is Sibo Yiyin an easy person to get along with? You think of him as someone you admire, but he thinks of you as your opponent!
The Shiba Shinsengumi in Sakai Port reported the news to the shogunate. They actually massacred a large business house under the eyes of the Miyoshi family.
Do you know what this means? The Miyoshi family is indulging the Shiba family!
The Shiba family has become the only samurai family besides the Miyoshi family that can dominate Sakai Port!"
Ashikaga Yoshiteru's heart sank, and Ootaisho continued to curse.
"He was plotting to gain business interests in Sakai Port, and he spread the news that he was willing to share it with the ministers to win over them.
He preserved the Izumi Kingdom for the Izumi-Hosokawa family, and also gave it to the Mibuchi family, North Kawachi. Who doesn’t know that the Mibuchi family is the Izumi-Hosokawa family!
Hosokawa Motonsune was ousted from office by Hosokawa Fujitaka, and Hosokawa Mibuchi and others were determined to form an alliance with him.
He brought back the direct leader of the family for Hatakeyama Takamasa, which made his enemies burst into tears. The three leaders and their families have never been so harmonious, and they all share the same thoughts.
Tell me, in the entire shogunate, apart from the Ise family, which has deep grudges and cannot do anything about it, which family is willing to be his enemy?
I extend my hand to the Ashikaga family to show my kindness, but he would rather commit suicide than marry into the Imperial Palace.
You are so ambitious, why don't you wake up!
If he were a woman, I would kill him on the spot to avoid future troubles even if the shogunate collapsed!"
At this point, Da Yutai looked ferocious and scolded the general fiercely.
The rise and fall of Ashikaga rests entirely on your shoulders. How could you abandon your family fortune to be deceived by beauty?
Ashikaga Yoshiki had a painful look on his face. Seeing his father's stern voice, he finally couldn't bear it anymore and roared on the spot.
"I don't know either! I just can't help but miss him, miss him, and want him!
Since I was a child, you have taught me to put family property, the shogunate, and the world first in everything I do.
But what about those martial arts families? They all say they are loyal to the king and serve the country, and they look sanctimonious on their faces. But have they ever considered me at all in their hearts!
The Ashikaga family was in decline, they thought so from the bottom of their hearts.
They are fawning just to get some benefits and take advantage of the Ashikaga Shogunate's remnant body. They are all bastards!
You say that Sibo Yiyin is not good at all, but I just like him! I like his self-respect and self-reliance, and I like his strengths that offend his appearance.
I just like that he disobeys me! Because everything he tells is the truth, and he is true to me!
I am the dignified Ashikaga General.
Every day I say things I don’t believe, make decisions I find disgusting, and maintain this shogunate that is about to be finished. Who am I?
Ashikaga General is a joke!"
She shouted at the top of her lungs, causing Odaisuo to turn pale, point his index finger at him, and his lips trembled.
"You rebellious woman, you rebellious woman, for the sake of a man, you actually talk nonsense like this.
It’s really crazy, crazy! Get out of here, get out of here!”
Ashikaga Yoshiki fell down on the ground where Odai was, kowtowed heavily, turned around and left.
Ootaisuo didn't expect her to be so decisive. Her mentality collapsed and she couldn't help shouting.
"Stop dreaming! Yoshigan Shiba, you are never allowed to enter my Ashikaga house!
I will never allow this vixen to destroy my Ashikaga world! Ruin your mother's inheritance!
You should give up this idea as soon as possible!"
Since the death of the previous shogun, this pair of father and daughter have supported each other and cooperated tacitly to maintain the operation of the shogunate.
The great emperor was filled with grief and indignation. His loving father and daughter's filial piety for many years could not be worth a single amount of silver. That man who brought disaster to the country and the people should not have appeared!
Ashikaga Yoshiki gritted his teeth, lowered his head, and clenched his fists tightly.
She has always been patient and wanted to be a good daughter and a good general. She wanted to do her best and protect her father and brother from the wind and rain.
But she was really tired and wanted to be willful for a while.
I am the master of the world, why can’t I still hold the man I like in the palm of my hand?
If you can't even do this, what's the point of being a general!
She went directly back to her sword room and sat cross-legged to meditate, but she couldn't calm down for a long time.
With his thoughts intertwined, he called his attendants to come in.
"Pass my order and the winter review will be postponed until the time is determined."
She waved her hand and asked people to go out, and her heart beat much faster. She was really crazy, and she actually wanted to use this to threaten Yiyin.
What is the greatest common interest of the Ashikaga family and the Shiba family? Naturally, it is to maintain the shogunate and maintain the guardian system.
What will happen if the core of the shogunate, the general, quits?
What to do with Uesugi Teruhora's Kanto stewardship? What will be the subsequent reaction of the Miyoshi family? How to prevent the Rokkaku family's changes in Omi?
The operation of the entire shogunate will be stagnant because of the general's silence, and the guardian system is in danger of collapse.
