Chapter five hundred and forty-eight Fuji Takaya suspicious
Akechi Mitsuhide was sure that Hosokawa Fujitaka would be moved by this condition.
The Izumi-Hosokawa family suffered miserably at the hands of Fuyayasu Anzai, and Hosokawa Fujitaka even dreamed of killing her.
In the battle of Miyoshi's invasion, Anzai Toyasu united with the Genlai people to attack from the north and south, and almost wiped out the Izumi Hosokawa family.
Since the Miyoshi family rose to power in Shikoku and killed the Hosokawa clan of Awa country, they almost killed the Hosokawa branch family again, causing the famous family to die out.
There are old and new grudges between the Hosokawa family and the Miyoshi family, and there is absolutely no room for compromise between the two parties. This is another reason why Hosokawa Fujitaka tries his best to get closer to the Shiba family.
Not only do they covet the beauty of Shiba Yoshigan, the Izumi-Hosokawa family themselves also need the help of the prosperous Shiba family to fight against the powerful Miyoshi family.
Faced with Akechi Mitsuhide's confused words, Hosokawa Fujitaka frowned and asked.
"Please tell me clearly, what is the relationship between Matsunagahide's achievements and Anzhai Fuyang's death?"
Akechi Mitsuhide laughed hard, shook his head and waved his hands.
"Don't say it, don't say it.
All you need to know is that Matsunaga Hide was only a little short of taking down Anzhai Fuyangyasu."
Akechi Mitsuhide's delicate jade fingers were separated by a short distance between his thumb and index finger, and he waved them in front of Hosokawa Fujitaka's eyes.
Hosokawa Fujitaka narrowed his eyes and stared at her.
The Miyoshi family is the number one enemy of the Izumi Hosokawa family, and she has always been very concerned about the intelligence of the Miyoshi family.
Today's Sanhao family is in chaos.
Miyoshi Changqing is seriously ill, and there is a fierce conflict between the young master Miyoshi Yoshitsugu and the three Miyoshi people, but Anzhai Fuyasu is the strongest supporter of Miyoshi Yoshitsugu.
Matsunagahide is Miyoshi Nagakei's direct minister. How did she get involved in the dispute between the two parties?
Almost a little bit of credit...
If Matsunaga shows the ability to unite all parties to suppress the Ichigo clan, then Miyoshi Changqing will definitely value her more.
Does she want to slander Anzhai Dongkang and let Sanhao Changqing destroy the Great Wall? How is this possible?
Hosokawa Fujitaka looked at Akechi Mitsuhide and said solemnly.
"This is impossible, the three good sisters and the four sisters are dying and getting sick.
Now in the family, only Anzhai Dongkang can support the overall situation, and Sanhao Changqing will never listen to slander and destroy the pillars of his family."
Akechi Mitsuhide raised his head and said leisurely.
"There are not many days left for the three good things to last forever. A strong minister but a weak master is not a good sign for the continuation of the family business.
You ask, how did Miyoshi Yixian die so coincidentally? If the two sisters were both here, they could keep each other in check and support the new master.
If someone was behind this and killed Sanhao Yixian, could Sanhao Changqing still endure it?"
Hosokawa Fujitaka's body was shaken, and cold sweat broke out from his back.
So that’s it! Matsunagahide has been in cahoots with the Miyoshi trio for a long time!
Miyoshi Yoshihide died of illness in Settsu Country. This is the territory of Miyoshi and three people. Are you still worried that false evidence will be produced?
Matsunagahide is Miyoshi Nagakei's direct minister in Settsu. She can completely use Miyoshi Nagakei's trust to mislead the lord's judgment.
Anzhai Dongkang is in danger.
Hosokawa Fujitaka smiled coldly and said.
"Since Honganji Xianru is willing to submit, I will give you a face and agree to peace.
After that, I’ll wait for your good news.”
Akechi Mitsuhide bowed slightly and thanked him.
"Thank you for your support, Fuji Takahime."
Hosokawa Fujitaka did not return the gift, but carefully observed Akechi Mitsuhide and said.
"You seem to be in a good mood. Is there something good going on? Or are you planning to do something bad?"
Based on the intuition of the two friends who had been friends for many years, Hosokawa Fujitaka felt something strange.
The Miyoshi family and the Shiba family are not adjacent to each other. The direction that the Shiba family is most concerned about should be the Rokkaku family in Minamiomi.
Akechi Mitsuhide has been helping Matsuhisa Hide, which is not her style. She has always been unprofitable and does not get up early. There must be a reason for this.
But Hosokawa Fujitaka has no choice. The Miyoshi family is a big trouble for the Izumi-Hosokawa family. She will definitely support Akechi Mitsuhide's strategy and make the Miyoshi family even more chaotic.
But she had a vague feeling that something was wrong. This guy had gone through so much trouble and his plans were definitely not small.
Akechi Mitsuhide secretly sighed, he is indeed an old friend and he does understand me.
She had to find a way to divert Hosokawa Fujitaka's attention and said.
"It is said that Nagamasa Asai of Kitaomi is getting married."
Hosokawa Fujitaka remained unmoved.
"As a family governor, it is your duty to continue your heirs, so what's the fuss about?"
A trace of coldness flashed in Akechi Mitsuhide's eyes and he smiled.
"The one she wants to marry is Oda Nobunaga's younger brother."
Hosokawa Fujitaka's face turned cold, and his thoughts were finally led astray by Akechi Mitsuhide.
Oda Nobunaga is a common pain point in the hearts of both of them, which originated from a sentence that Yoshigan Shiba said when he was in Kyoto.
Their sweetheart was coerced by this beast, Esperal, and took away his first love.
Nowadays, this person's power has grown so much that he has reached out to many people, which is really annoying.
Hosokawa Fujitaka snorted.
"Asai and Oda are indeed a good match."
Her words meant to belittle both families.
The Asai family defeated the Kyogoku family at Kitaomi, and the Oda family defeated the Shiba family at Owari. In the eyes of the high-ranking nobles, these two families were full of dirty information.
Mitsuhide Akechi retorted.
"But they are indeed strong enough.
It’s really ridiculous that the Rokkaku family and the Mino Isshiki family attacked Kitaomi, but forced the Asai family and the Oda family to join forces.”
Hosokawa Fujitaka glanced at her and said.
"Isn't this exactly what you want?
Let the four of them fight to the death, so that the Shiba family's territory can be protected from the threat of the Rokkaku family."
Akechi Mitsuhide replied.
"The Rokkaku family is no longer a threat to the Shiba family.
Rokkaku Yoshiken was ostracized by the Rokkaku retainers group due to setbacks in the spring war, and was expelled from the top ranks.
The current household governor, Rokkaku Yoshiharu, is far from being Goto Kentoyo's opponent, and Rokkaku's household management has gradually fallen into the hands of this important minister."
Hosokawa Fujitaka also took pleasure in his misfortune.
"This is a good show. I wonder what will happen to the Rokkajia family next?"
"Isn't that right? The Miyoshi family and the Rokkaku family were in civil strife one after another, and the general became more and more dignified in Kyoto."
Akechi Mitsuhide accompanied him and chatted some political gossip, and then went to Suzuki Shigehide to elaborate on the reconciliation with Ishiyama Honganji Temple.
Hosokawa Fujitaka said goodbye and left. When he reached the outside of Shiba's residence, he looked thoughtfully and looked back.
Akechi Mitsuhide keeps changing the topic. She is meddling in everything, and her purpose is never simple. What is she planning?
Miyoshi Family, Rokkaku Family, Kyoto.
Hosokawa Fujitaka was deeply uneasy. No one knew better than her the violence hidden under Tomomitsu's gentle appearance.
So, she turned around and went to the Niki family's residence in Kyoto.
Niki Yoshimasa was at home. Hearing that Hosokawa Fujitaka was visiting, he quickly welcomed her into his residence.
Although the two are good friends, Hosokawa Fujitaka's identity is different.
Holding the power of the Izumi-Hosokawa family and the Mibuchi family, she can be regarded as the second most powerful person in the local shogunate, second only to Shiba Yoshigan.
There is an order of superiority and inferiority and no disrespect.
After Niki Yoshimasa greeted her, he smiled and said something. This year, the Niki family's life was much better.
Yoshigan Shiba took away the guardian of Iga country from the Niki family, and then he soared into the sky.
Because she was sensible enough, she volunteered to serve as a guardian. Both the shogun and the Shiba family accepted her favor, and she did well in the shogunate.
The two were polite, and Nimu Yoshimasa smiled.
"Takahime Fuji, why are you here?"
Hosokawa Fujitaka bowed slightly and said.
"There is indeed something. I hope Nikihime is in Kyoto and can help me keep an eye on Akechi Mitsuhide."
As soon as these words came out, Nimu Yoshimasa's expression suddenly changed.
