"The Hosokawa Mibuchi family was very cautious. They stopped at Shoryuji Castle and first sent Mibuchi Haru and Hosokawa Fujitaka up to Luo to test the situation in Kyoto.

I sent someone to wait on the road that must be passed, and asked Hosokawa Fujitaka to come to Nijo Imperial Palace to talk about it.

Unexpectedly, I was stopped on the spot by Haru Mibuchi, who dragged Hosokawa Fujitaka straight to Shiba's residence."

Wada Weimasa frowned.

"This is unreasonable.

Hosokawa Motonsune was very cunning. She stayed in Shengryuji Castle and let her sister and daughter enter the capital first. She must have considered not offending both parties.

According to my opinion, she should ask Haru Mibuchi to go to the Odai Institute. Mibuchi Haru has a close relationship with the Odai Institute, so she can speak for the Hosokawa Mibuchi family.

However, Hosokawa Fujitaka was disliked by the imperial government for taking matters into his own hands in the Shangluo incident, but he is a fellow traveler with us who has shared weal and woe. He is the best candidate to come to negotiate with His Highness Yoshiaki."

Ashikaga Yoshiaki nodded and said.

"Hosokawa Fujitaka has been very busy with my trip to Luo. Of course I have her interests in mind."

Ise Sakyo smiled.

"This matter should be made by Haru Mibuchi.

It is said that she heard about Odaisho's illness on the road and felt very guilty. Then she forced Hosokawa Fujitaka to go to Shiba's residence first, probably to apologize."

Wada Weimasa nodded, this makes sense.

Mibuchi Haruhan and Shiba Yoshigan's mother were close friends. When Shiba Yoshigan first came to Kyoto, Mibuchi Haruuan took good care of him.

After that, Shiba Yiyin soared into the sky, and he could be said to be a drop of kindness to the Mibuchi family, and he repaid it with a spring. The territory of 100,000 koku in Hokawachi fell on Mibuchi Fujie's head, and many people were envious, jealous, and resentful.

Mibuchi Haru's feelings for Shiba Yoshigan are naturally extraordinary.

When she learned that Yoshigan Shiba was ill, this good old man from the shogunate was likely to change Hosokawa Motonsune's strategy and forcefully drag Hosokawa Fujitaka to plead guilty to Yoshigan Shiba.

She was Hosokawa Fujitaka's biological mother, and a big hat of kindness was placed on her daughter's head. Hosokawa Fujitaka couldn't go even if he didn't want to.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki sighed.

"In this case, our strategy of communicating with Hosokawa Fujitaka before the imperial office is considered a failure?"

Ise Sakyo smiled.

"That's not necessarily true."

Ashikaga Yoshiaki glanced at her unexpectedly.

"Oh? I'd like to hear the details."

Ise Sakyo bowed.

"Everyone in Kyoto knows that Odaisho fell ill this time because of excessive grief. His feelings for his ancestors really moved everyone."

Wada Weimasa felt unhappy, and looked at Ise Sadakyo with squinted eyes. He felt that this old poisonous snake was too wicked.

Ise Sakyo had no respect for the ancestors, and everything he said was utilitarian, which made Wada Weimasa and other direct ministers who had been favored by the ancestors feel uneasy in conscience and rest on pins and needles.

However, what makes these people even more uncomfortable is that Ashikaga Yoshiaki is also very fond of the Ise Sakyo teachings, and he listens to them very well.

Ashikaga Yoshiteru is her sister! Shiba Yoshigan is her brother-in-law! She has not yet ascended to the throne, yet she is so disrespectful and ungrateful.

People like Wada Weizheng see it in their eyes, and they also feel cold and cold in their hearts. Who is willing to follow a lord of thin cold?

No matter how important the support is, can it be more important than the support of my sister's blood relatives and my brother-in-law?

Ashikaga Yoshiaki treats her sister and brother-in-law like this. If these people don't agree with her in the future, wouldn't the end be even worse?

Ashikaga Yoshiaki had not yet felt that her ministers were already disloyal. She was still concentrating on listening to the evil tactics of the Ise Sadato.

Ise Sakyo continued.

“The three greatest tragedies in life are the meeting of resentment and hatred, the separation of love, and the failure to seek what you want.

Hosokawa Fujitaka loved Odaisho, but Odaisho was disgusted with her actions. Odaisho fell ill because of mourning for his ancestors, which made Hosokawa Fujitaka completely understand one thing.

The man she couldn't get has become farther and farther away from her, and she is powerless. When she is most desperate, whoever can help her get what she wants is her friend."

Ashikaga Yoshiaki listened thoughtfully and said.

"Is she so trapped? Unable to extricate herself? Are you willing to... help me for a man?"

Ise Sakyo smiled.

"Then let's wait and see.

Mibuchi Haru forcibly took Hosokawa Fujitaka to Shiba's residence, but Hosokawa Fujitaka had a heavy responsibility and would still come to Nijo Imperial Palace in the future.

At that time, you can see it with your own eyes to determine whether it is true or false."

Ise Sakyo did not directly answer Ashikaga Yoshiaki because the answer was very hurtful.

Who doesn't like the sun?

Shiba Yiyin was a man of loyalty and integrity, but he was unwise. He kept his promises, was righteous and compassionate, and was a perfect example of the martial arts. He lived the noble life that everyone wanted to be but could not live up to.

If he hadn't had an extra bit of Gil, Ashikaga General's position would never have been occupied by Ashikaga Yoshiaki, a mediocre guy with low self-esteem.

Is it strange that Hosokawa Fujitaka loves Shiba Yoshigan? In this room full of people, who doesn’t have a good impression of Shiba Yoshigan?
