Chapter eight hundred and twentieth final determination
Ninagawa himself was silent, while Ise Sadakyo was talking to himself.
"The government office manages the shogunate's finances, and the shogunate's territory provides food, grass, farmers and soldiers. The Ashikama Hui people must send troops, which cannot be separated from logistical supplies.
The general is known as a strong-willed and generous person, but he is a narrow-minded person who is eager for quick results. She wants to control the overall situation and cannot allow others to take advantage of her weak points and restrict her actions.
Whether it's me or you, she can't rest assured."
Ninagawa himself took a sip of tea and felt it was extremely bitter. He frowned and said nothing.
Ise Sadakyo smiled, and said the treacherous thing, and didn't care to say more.
"The first Ashikaga Shogun Takauji established his office in Muromachi, Kyoto. It was not until the third Ashikaga Shogun Yoshimitsu that the Muromachi shogunate was stabilized.
Ashikaga Yoshimitsu slaughtered the emperor's ministers and established the world of the samurai family, but it could not change the embarrassment of the shogunate's inherent deficiencies.
The Ashikaga family did not use their strength to conquer the world, but relied on the conflicts between samurai families to use a balancing hand to suppress samurai families that could threaten them.
The third generation of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu played well, and the world was the world of the Ashikaga Shogun. The sixth generation of Ashikaga Yoshitsune did not play well, and Akamatsu Mitsuyo rebelled and killed the king."
Ninagawa himself looked up at Ise Sakyo and said.
"Sir, do you want to learn from Akamatsu Mitsuru?"
Ise Sakyo smiled helplessly.
"The Ninagawa family are veterans of the shogunate, and you know all the old affairs of the shogunate.
I am telling you this just to remind you that the Ashikaga family has been using this method to fight against each other for two hundred years.
The general cannot spare me, nor can he spare you. Today for the Ise family is tomorrow for your Ninagawa family. Ashikaga Yoshiteru needs the land of the shogunate, and she will not let us go.
During the time of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu in the third generation, there were more than 200 Ashikaga Imperial Palaces in the sixty-six countries of the world, but now there is no one left.
Ashikaga Yoshimitsu relied on the Ashikaga Imperial Palace, which was suitable for trade, and raised three thousand Ashikaga horses to control the world.
Ashikaga Yoshiteru wanted to imitate her ancestors, so she raised five hundred Ashikaga horses. Although they were not as elite as the original Hime warriors of General Yoshimitsu, she still couldn't afford to raise them.
There is no Ashikaga Imperial Food Store, and the good trade has long since disappeared. Where can she get the money and food to feed these warriors?
Over the years, I have barely supported the expenses of the shogunate, but has the general ever considered my difficulties?"
Ise Sakyo looked at Ninagawa Makoto sadly, and the two looked at each other, desolate for a moment.
Said Ninagawa.
"The general will not overthrow the ministers. Without the ministers, who will help her manage the affairs of the ministers."
Ise Sakyo sneered.
"How can there be any shogunate? Outside of Kyoto, who else will take Ashikaga Shogun's imperial edict seriously?
Accept what is good for you, and don't recognize what is bad for you. This is the Ashikaga world today."
Ninagawa Makoyo shook his head.
Ise Sakyo's statement is too extreme. The shogunate's strength has shrunk, but its status is still there, so it won't be so miserable.
But Ise Sakyo was right about one thing. Ashikaga Yoshiteru needed land, population, money and food to feed her army and improve her logistical supplies.
In the beginning, the shogunate was able to restrict the general because he had control over the shogunate's finances and military supplies, and thus had the ability to veto the general's actions.
In Game of Thrones, the most important thing is not that you can get things done. It’s that without your consent, you can’t get things done.
This is the power of the veto.
In the previous operation of the shogunate, the ministers headed by the government did not agree. Even if the Ashikaga Shogun had the command of the Ashikaga Hui, she could not draw the army out to fight.
Because logistics is in the hands of ministers, they have veto power.
Before the Noragada war, the Rokkaku family planned to assassinate Yoshigan Shiba, blame it on the Asai family, and then annex the entire Omi country.
This act of murdering the shogunate envoy made Ashikaga Yoshiteru extremely angry and wanted to send troops to attack the Rokkaku family.
But this matter was stopped abruptly by the shogunate, because the logistical supplies were in their hands, and the Ashikaga Hikari could not even leave the confines of Kyoto.
This incident deeply hurt Ashikaga Yoshiteru's proud heart.
After Miyoshi failed to go to Luo, he relied on the help of local powerful factions headed by the Shiba family. Ashikaga Yoshiteru launched a purge on the grounds that the ministers of the Ise Sadō sect had been disloyal during the war.
She not only wanted to suppress the power of the Ise family, but also wanted to seize the financial power of the government and the land and population of the shogunate.
Ninagawa Makoto was just a chess piece and a tool that the general put on the stage. Ashikaga Yoshiteru could not let her become the next Ise Sadakyu, and there were many restrictions on her.
But really speaking, Ashikaga Yoshiteru would drive out the shogunate and kill all the shogunate, even Ninagawa himself did not believe it. Without the shogunate, who would support the operation of the shogunate.
she said.
"Your Majesty called me here today just to tell me this?"
"The general seems to be dissatisfied with the Izumi-Hosokawa family these days because of the rumors about twin girls.
I invite you here just because I hope you will stand at the head of the ministers and think more about the interests of the ministers."
Ninagawa Himashi seemed to be more energetic and asked.
"What do you think, sir?"
Ise Sadakyo looked at her, half-smiling but not smiling.
"Twin girls are unlucky. The shogunate has become increasingly difficult in recent years. This may not be a punishment from God."
Ninagawa himself said in a low voice.
"You want to depose the general? Do the ministers still have the strength? Even if the general is deposed, who should succeed him?"
Ise Sadakyo said with unknown emotions in his eyes.
"There was a male emperor in the emperor's court, and the samurai shogunate could also have a male general, right?"
Ninagawa himself was shocked and asked softly.
"Your Highness Ashikaga Teru-kun?"
Ise Sadakyo closed his eyes and said.
"I'm tired, you should go back and think about it.
You are the head of the ministers, and you have to represent the interests of our ministers so that everyone will support you."
Ninagawa himself rolled his eyes and kowtowed to the ground.
"Since you are tired, I will take my leave first and you can have a good rest."
Ise Sadakyu didn't open her eyes again. She nodded slowly, and then heard the sound of the door being pulled open and the sound of footsteps hurried away.
She suddenly smiled, a little sad.
I don't know how long it took, but there was another knocking sound outside the door. She opened her eyes and said.
"come in."
The person who walked in through the door was actually Fujibayashi Xing.
Ise Sakyo asked.
"How about it?"
"Ninagawa-sama left here, went back to his mansion, stayed for a stick of incense, and then walked out of the back door in casual clothes and hurried into the imperial palace."
Ise Sakyo sighed, and then he completely despaired of Ninagawa himself.
she said.
"You go back and tell Master Akechi that she won the bet and I am convinced."
"Hi!"
After Fujibayashi Xing left, the tired Ise Sadakyo gradually lost his sad expression, his face was expressionless, his eyes were deep, and finally it turned into a cold smile.
Ninagawa, the person in charge of the government and the leader of the shogunate, was too cowardly. Ise Sakyo did not expect that she would be completely reduced to Ashikaga Yoshiteru's answering machine, a dog!
As long as Ninagawa himself had some ideas of his own, Ise Sakyo would not give up and cooperate with Mitsuhide Akechi, a dangerous snake.
