Chapter 1168 Radical and Conservative(1/2)
Yiyin was too lazy to explain and couldn't explain clearly, so he had to say with a straight face.
"You are very sharp-tongued. It seems that this whip was too light. I will give you another one later."
Akechi Mitsuhide pretended to be frightened and turned pale, seeming to beg for mercy but also acting coquettishly.
"Please, my lord, please spare me. I am not a warrior woman like Yamanaka Yukimori who cannot bear severe punishment."
Yamanaka Yukimori gnashed his teeth as he listened behind the screen. This filthy fox knew that he was hiding behind and still flirted with his master. He really deserved to be killed.
Yiyin also frowned.
"Speak nicely, why did you suddenly mention Yamanaka Yumori?"
Mitsuhide Akechi stuck out his tongue so playfully that it made Yoshigan feel itchy in his heart. This dark fox had the most crazy tricks and the most tricks among the Hime warriors he had ever had sex with.
But when Yoshigage thought of the tragic death of Ashikaga Yoshiki, his face turned ugly and he scolded.
"Akechi Mitsuhide! Correct your attitude! Do you really think I won't kill you!"
Akechi Mitsuhide looked at Yoshigan with a look of infatuation and said slowly.
"I am not afraid of death. When I decided to kill Ashikaga Yoshiki, I put life and death aside.
The most powerful people in the world are supposed to be the virtuous ones. The Ashikaga family has enjoyed the world for two hundred years, but they are unable to bring peace to the world. The Ashikaga General is guilty!
This one.
You revived the family business as a man, restored the lintel of the family with benevolence, righteousness, etiquette and trustworthiness, making all the daughters of the world ashamed.
Ashikaga Yoshiteru is greedy for your family property. In order to annex the resurgent Shiba family, he uses disgusting methods to force you to accept the Ashikaga merger. She deserves to die!
This is the second one.
Mingzhi's family fortune declined, and I became a wanderer, wandering around. All I saw and heard was the collapse of rituals and music, and I led beasts to eat people.
The incompetent Ashikaga shogunate is dead. The samurai family of the shogunate only cares about their own interests, but ignores the misery of the samurai warriors in the world. The shogunate conquers the world with the samurai family, but cannot treat the samurai family well. They deserve this disaster.
This is the third one.
The world of the Wu family should not be like this now. The shogunate has died, but the body left behind is still rotting in the world.
My only wish in life is to re-establish order, make the world orderly, enable the warriors to perform their duties, and restore peace to the Wu family!
I am wise, Mitsuhide, and there is nothing wrong with me!”
Yiyin squinted her eyes and looked at Mitsuhide Akechi, who was impassioned and eloquent. Her eyes were shining. Is she... about to show off?
After a long silence, Yiyin asked calmly.
"So? You disobeyed my orders, planned to kill General Ashikaga, and made Konki a mess, just for the ideal in your heart?"
Akechi Mitsuhide nodded, looking enthusiastic.
"Yes, Ashikaga Yoshiteru has given you the sword. As long as the Ashikaga Shogun family is dead, you will be recognized by the world as the direct descendant of the Kawachi Genji.
I didn't expect that she would give the gold seal to Takada Yukino before she died, and passing it on to you is the icing on the cake.
Now that you are wearing the golden seal of the sword, Ashikaga Yoshiaki, whom Wada Weimasa and others want to support, cannot compare with you at all. You are already the most noble person in the world.
As long as you preside over and establish the shogunate, we will be able to end this troubled times. Use your principles to give the Wu family a new and better world."
Yiyin looked at Akechi Mitsuhide coldly and understood in his heart.
She doesn't feel that she is wrong at all. She is a true idealist and is willing to sacrifice everything in order to realize her ideal.
But Yiyin couldn't agree with her approach.
Ashikaga Yoshiteru did want Ashikaga to join forces, but her heart was not just for utilitarianism, but also for love. Otherwise, she would not have given the gold seal to Takada Haruno before she died and handed it over to herself.
Mitsuhide Akechi killed Ashikaga Yoshiteru and caused great chaos in recent times. Her approach was too drastic and cruel.
She didn't even think about discussing it with Yiyin, but she was ruthless enough to do such a terrible thing. Her ideals were higher than her loyalty, and Yiyin couldn't tolerate this counselor who she couldn't control.
he said.
"Akechi Mitsuhide, don't be too self-righteous!
Who do you think you are? Do you think you can make choices for all the martial arts families in the world? Do you think you are sacrificing yourself for the righteousness?
You are just touching yourself!
For your ideal, countless lives have been sacrificed. You make me feel sick. Do you know how long it has been since there was peace in recent places?
Beginning with the Eighth Generation Shogun Rebellion, the city has been in chaos for nearly a hundred years. The city has been transformed into a king's flag, the people have been displaced, and people's livelihood has withered away.
Ever since the shogunate signed the contract with the Miyoshi family, there has finally been peace for a year and a half in recent times. Yes, only a mere year and a half.
Just because of your own opinions, there has been chaos again recently. How dare you say that you are doing it for the Wu family?
Look at the people who died tragically in the Kyoto Incident, look at the people who died in vain in the Battle of Minami-Omi, how innocent they are!"
Akechi Mitsuhide said calmly.
“Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain, and it is better to destroy the dead than to slowly decay.
Sacrifice a few people to create a new shogunate. Innovation will eventually kill people, and the sooner it is implemented, the fewer people will die."
Yiyin sneered.
“You self-righteous innovators always like to represent others, but have you ever asked others if they want to be represented by you?
Have you asked me? Have you asked other members of the Shiba family? Have you asked recent martial arts families, or even the world’s martial arts families? Innovation comes at a price!
Who pays this price? Is it you? Or them? Tell me, who is paying for your ideals?
I am not you, Mitsuhide Akechi, you have misjudged me.
I am a stubborn conservative, and I can watch the shogunate slowly decay. As long as I don't see tragedy happening in my lifetime, I will try my best to cover this lid.
I know that innovators like you look down on conservatives like me the most, but you should understand one thing.
When it prospers, the people suffer. When it dies, the people suffer.
When you head towards the future with high spirits, take a look at the corpses at your feet and think about the price they paid.
I have no ideals, I just want to protect the moment of peace in front of me. I don’t want to see the price of innovation, no matter who pays the blood price.”
Akechi Mitsuhide looked at the angry Yoshiyin and suddenly laughed, his eyes full of love.
"I know, I have always known. You are a soft-hearted person and don't want to see others suffer.
Your kindness is the last ray of sunshine in this endless dark and chaotic world. It makes me feel warm and makes me cherish it.
That's why I am willing to love you and die for you. Even if you order me to be killed now, I will have no regrets.
It's just that you made a mistake. It's not that you don't have ideals. You protect everyone's ideas, which are your ideals.
Your ideals are more unrealistic than mine. No one will recognize you. Compared to an innovator like me, a benevolent king like you will only be more rejected by others.
When everyone is vying for power, when everyone is leading beasts to eat people, your kindness, justice and courtesy will be a thorn in their hearts.
They will try their best to destroy you unless you become like them. Otherwise, they will definitely destroy you. This is the darkness of the human heart.
When everyone is a beast, they don't want to see one person. This makes them unable to anesthetize themselves and convince themselves that everyone is the same and that everyone is a beast.
I don't want you to go to such a desperate step and be killed by the people you want to protect. I will pioneer for you and remove the thorns and stumbling blocks on the road for you, those idiots who don't want to be human.
The glory is you, the kindness is you. The sin is me, the cruelty is me.
This is what I want for the rest of my life."
Yiyin shook his head and said.
"Don't continue to be intoxicated. You are not that tragic, and I don't need your sacrifice like that.
You still haven't understood what terrible thing you did. You released an innovator who could truly overthrow the Wu family.
Akechi Mitsuhide, you are radical in your actions.
But have you ever thought about it, if you meet a more radical innovator, would you follow her footsteps, or would you be unable to stand her radicalness and want to stop her?
It is too easy to destroy an old world. Destruction is far easier than construction. No one likes to be restricted, and everyone loves freedom.
But you have to know that the reason why rules are accepted by most people is because they are the bottom line and the contract that allows most people to survive.
If there were no rules, the strong could plunder the weak at will, the victor could take everything from the loser, and the world of the Wu family would cease to exist.
Therefore, even if the rules are unreasonable, most people are still willing to abide by them, because most people are weak.
You destroyed the order of the shogunate and disrupted the original rules. Before new rules are established, everyone will lose their sense of security, and the darkest troubled times will really come.
Disorder is a paradise for the strong. If a more radical innovator appears that even you can't stand, you will become me, a conservative.
At that time, how should you choose?"
Yoshigan said, the image of Oda Nobunaga appeared in his mind.
In his previous life, he didn't care about the island country, let alone the warring states of the island country. The only thing he knew about was a game called Nobunaga's Ambition.
After coming to this world, he once regretted not playing that game.
Otherwise, he can at least make a targeted decision, instead of being like a headless fly who can only cross the river by feeling the stones.
But even a person like him who lacks historical knowledge knows about Nobunaga's ambition and knows about Oda Nobunaga, the great name of the samurai family who became a man of the world.
