Takada Haruno set up a trap and took advantage of the greed of the manager of Tokura to invest Ichizune's money into the Hokurikudo Trading Road and became a business partner of the Shiba family.
Akechi Mitsuhide worked within the shogunate to prevent the Nanman Sect from obtaining missionary rights for the Yixiang Sect, further deepening the cooperation between the two parties.
Whether Master Xianru wants to admit it or not, the Sibo family has become her friendly little friends.
The Hokurikudo Ichigo clan raided Takaoka Castle with the intention of attacking Shiba Yoshiyin. How did this happen? The ball was kicked to the feet of Ming Yushou.
There is no point in tracing the source, and no one cares about the truth. The question is whether Mr. Xianru is willing to suffer huge economic and political losses and break with the Spo family.
If you don't want to lose the Sibo family as a friend, Master Xianru doesn't have much choice.
Akechi Mitsuhide is very satisfied with the current situation.
As long as Shiba Yoshigan maintains a strong military position in Hokurikudo and is invincible, Master Mianru will definitely not be willing to continue the trouble.
The Nanman Sect is close at hand, and the Hokurikudo Trading Road also has a share of Ishiyama Honganji Temple. Why fight? A relative hates an enemy quickly, let alone a fight.
Knowing that she had fulfilled her master's instructions, Mitsuhide Akechi was in a good mood. She turned her gaze to the two leaders of the same group who were kneeling and waiting, and she said.
"I heard that the Ise Sadaect invited Ninagawa to visit him personally.
Fujibayashi Xing, go and keep an eye on it for me. There has been a lot of trouble in Kyoto recently, so you have to be careful."
"Hi!"
Fujibayashi bowed and left the room. Fujibayashi secretly glanced at her leaving sister, feeling uneasy.
This year, Akechi Mitsuhide had something to do, so he arranged for Fujibayashi Xing to do more. Put Fujibayashi Mukuo, the leader of the same group in the same group, Fujibayashi family governor aside.
Fujibayashi Mukuro is not afraid that his sister will take away his position. The two are twin girls. They have shared joys and sorrows since childhood and have a deep relationship.
Her mother was killed by the third husband of Momochi, and Iga country was protected by Shiba Yoshigan. She maintained the family business cautiously and did not dare to slack off.
If Fujibayashi Xing has the ability, she is willing to give up her position as leader and family governor of the same group and let her sister do it.
What Fujibayashi Mukuro was afraid of was that Fujibayashi Kyo would be framed. She found out that Akechi Mitsuhide sent Fujibayashi Kyo to work secretly, but her sister did not inform her or leave a file.
Akechi Mitsuhide is a high-ranking official who is hard to figure out. The Fujibayashi family's dog is Shiba Yoshigan's, and he is only temporarily lent to Akechi Mitsuhide for use.
If there is any mistake or omission in the future, and there is no proof that Fujibayashi worked for Mitsuhide Akechi, Fujibayashi will have to bear the blame.
Fujibayashi asked her several times and warned her sister, but she ignored them all.
Now Mitsuhide Akechi delegates everything in Kyoto to Fujibayashi, while Fujibayashi can only do insignificant chores in Kitaiga. This situation is very wrong.
Fujibayashi Mukuro was still thinking about what was on his mind, but Akechi Mitsuhide was writing a letter calmly and calmly. It was a letter to Master Kenjo of Ishiyama Honganji Temple.
She glanced at the anxious Fujibayashi Mukuro and the deep-thinking Saito Rizo, and couldn't help but raise a smile at the corner of her mouth.
———
In the tea room of Ise Mansion, the tea master served the tea soup and asked the two samurai masters to taste it.
Ise Sadakyo clapped his hands, and the attendants bowed and left together with the tea master, leaving the tea room to the master and the guest Ninagawa Makoto.
After everyone left, Ise Sadakyo bowed slightly to Ninagawa Makoto.
"My dear, I didn't expect you would actually come."
Ninagawa himself bowed in return and said with complicated emotions.
"Sir, you are the deacon of the political office after all, my superior officer."
"Yes, you are interested."
Ise Sadakyo was holding tea soup, dazed, and suddenly said.
"Back then, this mansion was bustling with people. Now, you are the only one who dares to come."
Ninagawa personally saw that her temples were gray, and she seemed to have aged ten years in just one year, and he couldn't bear it.
After all, Ise Sadakyo was the chief among the ministers and once held great power. Now that he is suppressed by Ashikaga Yoshiteru and is in such a miserable state, Ninagawa himself is also saddened by the death of the rabbit and the fox.
The general has a strong temperament and is eager for quick success, and his attitude towards his subordinates is increasingly that of Shun Chang and Ni.
Ninagawa's position as acting official in the government was not comfortable, and it was far less practical than when Ise Sada was in power and the ministers were monolithic.
But now it's too late to say anything.
The Muromachi shogunate is headed by Ashikaga Shogun, who is in charge of the government. The center of the shogunate in Kyoto is mainly divided into four areas: the minister's office, the government office, the inquiry office, and the assessment office.
During the Kamakura shogunate period, the shrine had great power, managing the imperial family and serving as the general administration of the world's military. After the establishment of the Ashikaga family, the shrine was governed by four families in turn, known as the four positions.
After that, the imperial family system was gradually replaced by the guardian system, and the imperial court was gradually reduced to maintaining public security in Kyoto, and its rights were greatly reduced.
The administrative documents of the shogunate were consulted, and the assessors participated in the shogunate's decision-making. After the decline of the shogunate, they gradually lost their real power.
Only the government office, which manages the territory of the shogunate, controls Kyoto's huge commercial taxes, and the donations to the shogunate from various places, still has great power.
Precisely because they controlled the finances, the deacons of the government offices could represent the shogunate and restrict the military actions of the generals, and the Ise family grew from this.
Ashikaga Yoshiteru relied on the support of local powerful factions and supported the Ninagawa family and attacked the Ise family on the grounds that the shogunate was disloyal by standing on the fence during the war against the Miyoshi family.
The shogunate's territory was taken away, and Ninagawa himself was obedient and did not dare to disobey the general. The power of the Ise Sadato sect gradually collapsed during this year.
This time Ise Sadaoka invited Ninagawa to visit him, but he didn't know what to say. Ninagawa didn't want to come, but someone asked her to come, so she had no choice but to come and listen.
After only sitting for a while, Ninagawa himself felt like he was sitting on pins and needles and managed a smile.
"My lord, what is the purpose of calling me here this time?"
Ise Sadakyo took a sip of tea and said.
"There are rumors in the capital that the general is a twin girl. Have you ever heard of it?"
Ninagawa himself answered with a smile.
"I did hear this rumor from the juniors."
Ise Sadakyo glanced at her and continued drinking tea.
"This is true."
Ninagawa Himashi didn't react for a moment and was still laughing. When he understood what she meant, his smile suddenly froze.
"Sir, please don't say this nonsense."
Ise Sakyo said slowly.
"Back then, an ancient general gave birth to twin girls. One girl stayed in the imperial palace, and the other was sent out of Kyoto by the current Grand Imperial Palace. Heaven adopted them and raised them.
Odaisho went to the Nara Basin and left the child outside the Ichijoyin of Kofukuji Temple, but was picked up by the master, Master Kakuyu."
Ninagawa himself preferred not to hear anything. He glanced out from the corners of his eyes from time to time, looking frightened.
"Sir, be careful what you say. You should not say anything nonsense now, lest you cause death."
Ise Sadakyo put down the tea soup and said to Ninagawa Makoto.
"My dear, you are a sensible person, so let me say some sensible words.
A general is unkind and unjust, and is by no means a wise king. My today is your tomorrow."
