Brother Nine Hundred and Forty-Six Chapters Continue New Marriage
Hosokawa Motonsune thought for a while.
"A new general? The one from Kofukuji Temple?"
In a world dominated by women, the reproduction of family property depends on women having offspring, which is not as flourishing as in a world dominated by men.
Although the Ashikaga family has quite a few relatives, there are not many close relatives with the Ashikaga Miao name.
The Kamakura Ashikaga family was expelled from the inheritance rights by the Ashikaga Shogun family as early as the Kanto Rebellion. Only the Ten Kingdoms of Kanto recognized this branch of Kanto Shogun and Kamakura Kōfō.
As for the Ashikaga Shogun family in Kyoto, there are currently no heirs. Except for Ashikaga Yoshiteru, the twin daughter of Kofukuji Temple in Yamato Province, who is the most recent bloodline.
Hosokawa Fujitaka shook his head and said.
"Probably not.
Ise Sakyo became an internal spy this time, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was a traitor to the shogunate.
She would not want an adult woman from the Ashikaga family to become a shogun, because sooner or later they would liquidate the Ise family that led the wolf into the house.
The best way is to learn from the powerful ministers in the emperor's court, support the male emperor, and evade the imperial power as regent."
Hosokawa Motonsune narrowed his eyes.
"Ashikaga Teru-kun?"
Hosokawa Fujitaka nodded.
"Yes, it is Ashikaga Yoshiteru's younger brother, Ashikaga Teru-kun. He is the male general that the Ise Sadaka wants."
Hosokawa Motonsune asked again.
"What about Mitsuhide Akechi?"
Hosokawa Fujitaka hesitated and shook his head helplessly.
"Who knows what this crazy woman will do? I can't guess.
Lord Kenshin is a man, so the best choice for the Shiba family is to join forces with the Ashikaga Shogun and use the name of the direct descendant of the Genji family in Kawachi to pacify the world.
The Shiba family is originally the closest family branch to the Ashikaga family among all the relatives. If both parties merge, the descendants can legitimately branch off and strengthen the Shiba family.
If Mitsuhide Akechi had not conspired to cause trouble, this incident would actually be a good thing for the Lisboa family."
Hosokawa Motonsune sighed.
"It's too late to say that now.
From this point of view, after Miyoshi goes to Luo, the situation in Kyoto will be unpredictable, and it will be difficult for us to deal with it."
Hosokawa Fujitaka smiled.
"That's not necessarily true."
Hosokawa Motonsune glanced at his daughter.
"Tell me carefully."
Hosokawa Fujitaka knocked on the tatami in front of him and said in a deep voice.
"Once chaos breaks out in Kyoto, we will bring back the twin girls from Kofukuji Temple to protect them. We will watch the situation and wait for opportunities."
Hosokawa Motonsune remained calm.
"You keep talking."
Hosokawa Fujitaka elaborated.
"The Miyoshi family hopes to seize the general and command the world, but this is unacceptable to Ise Sadaji and us.
First, the samurai family of the shogunate would not treat Miyoshi Yoshitsugu as a dog.
Miyoshi Nagakei is a talented woman with a rough strategy. Except for Kenshin Gong, no other family in the shogunate is a rival. But who is Miyoshi Yoshitsugu? How can a mediocre person who just took advantage of the civil strife in the shogunate to go to Luo control the shogunate.
Secondly, although neither we nor Ise Sada can stand Ashikaga Yoshiteru, we have more choices.
Ise Sadakyo betrayed the Ashikaga family and led the Miyoshi family to Luo, which was tantamount to rebellion. She had a way out only by letting Ashikaga Teru-kun take over.
But we are different. We are loyal to the shogunate. As long as we go to Kofukuji Temple to protect the Ashikaga heirs during the civil strife in Kyoto, we will be invincible.
Ashikaga Yoshiteru was captured by the Miyoshi family, so we can deny the Miyoshi family's puppet shogunate.
The Ise Sakyo adopted the old practice of male emperors and supported male generals. But the samurai family started with swords and guns, so we don’t need to pay attention to this inexplicable male general.
In this way, the Ashikaga twin girls in our hands will be useful."
Hosokawa Motonsune said word for word.
"It's a strange thing to live in."
Hosokawa Fujitaka looked up to the sky and sighed.
"There has been internal strife in the shogunate and recent turmoil. Duke Kenshin will definitely rush back from Kanto to bring order to the chaos.
When he returns, our local powerful faction in the shogunate has the strength and the obligation to bring order to the Kyoto shogunate.
Ashikaga Yoshiteru lost his virtue, lost Kyoto, and became a puppet. He was a disgrace to all the Ashikaga generals and must abdicate in favor of others.
We have done a great service in protecting the new general, and we have done another great service in assisting the re-establishment of the shogunate. The shogunate and generals in the future will be grateful to us."
Hosokawa Motonsune looked at his daughter's coy behavior and nodded slowly.
Mibuchi Haru on the side suddenly sneered and interrupted.
"Good idea.
That kid of Yiyin is unparalleled in battle, and no one in the martial arts family has dared to go toe-to-toe with him these days. You help the new general take back Kyoto and build the shogunate, and you will take all the credit for your hard work.
The shogunate is newly established, and it is facing internal and external difficulties. Under the guise of stabilizing people's hearts, you can then find someone in the shogunate to stir up public opinion, and implore Hosokawa Shiba to join forces.
The new general will definitely be willing to reward you, the man who made the most contribution, and bring the boy Yiyin together to get married."
Hosokawa Fujitaka's face turned red and he lowered his head without saying a word. However, Mibuchi Haru refused to let her go and spoke directly.
"Only by marrying off Yoshiyoshi Shiba can he be freed from his status as a direct descendant of the Kawachi Genji family.
The new general must be very afraid that Ashikaga Yoshiteru's imperial office will threaten her new shogunate. The best way is to marry him off and wash away the traces of Ashikaga Yoshiteru.
Fujitaka, you are so thoughtful."
Hosokawa Fujitaka was speechless by Mibuchi Haru, but Hosokawa Motonsune verbally scolded him.
"Harumi, that's enough! Fujitaka did the right thing, and I fully support it.
I have to admit that it was the biggest mistake of my life when I returned to Beijing to prevent Yoshigan Shiba from marrying into the Izumi Hosokawa family. The Kirin son of the Shiba family has never been associated with my family since then.
I misunderstood this matter. I feel sorry for you, Haruya, who arranged the marriage, and I also feel sorry for Fujitaka, who is deeply in love.
Now, since it is possible to make up for my mistakes, let's do it with all my strength.
The Izumi-Hosokawa family welcomes Yoshigan Shiba to marry me. If he wishes, I can retire and let Fujitaka succeed the family governor.
What's more, it would be perfect for Shiba Yoshigan to take charge of the overall situation and handle internal and external affairs on behalf of the three families of Shiba Hosokawa and Mibuchi."
Mibuchi Haru looked at Hosokawa Mototsune and Hosokawa Fujitaka in front of her, they were deeply in love with each other as mother and daughter, and she felt disdainful in her heart.
At the beginning, Shiba Yoshigan helped the Izumi-Hosokawa family to take back Izumi Country, and helped the Mibuchi family to get Kitakawachi.
As the leader of the Hosokawa Mibuchi family, Hosokawa Motonsune refused to accept the integration of the Shiba family into the two groups for the sake of his own power and position.
In the end, Izumi Hosokawa's retainers were forced to rebel and find the young master Hosokawa Fujitaka to come forward. Mibuchi Haru became the villain and drove Hosokawa Motonsune to live in seclusion.
Now, things are good. Over the past year or so, the situation has gradually become clearer. Under the auspices of Yoshihiro Shiba, the Shiba family is prospering and is even able to expand its territory in Kanto.
Hosokawa Motonsune regretted it and agreed, so why the hell did he go there so early?
Ignoring the general's predicament and peeking into the general's palace, he discovered that this mother and daughter were unfaithful and unjust, and turned out to be his blood relatives.
Mibuchi Haru was dizzy for a moment, his tongue pressed against the roof of his mouth, and he couldn't hold on.
Why did Hosokawa Fujitaka become the family governor and give all the power to Shiba Yoshigan? It was all a lie! They just saw that Shiba Yoshigan was alone and wanted to swallow him and his family property!
Hosokawa Motonsune wants the family business, and Hosokawa Fujitaka wants people. They are really a good mother and daughter who cherish each other.
