Akechi Mitsuhide went even further and made repeated demands, just to make Shiba Yiyin angry and angry at himself.

Nanzenji Soden will disappear if you don't see him. With the current status of the Shiba family, Nanzenji Soden is asking Akechi Mitsuhide to do things, so why not let this bald donkey dry for a while.

What Mitsuhide Akechi needs is Yoshihiro Shiba's angry words to take matters into his own hands.

After receiving a hint from Akechi Mitsuhide, Miyoshi Yoshitsugu began to actively respond to Ashikaga Yoshiaki's letters after he led his troops back. Ashikaga Yoshiaki was indeed moved and wanted to leave Kyoto. Central

Akechi Mitsuhide was worried that Ushiba Yoshihide would be soft-hearted and forcefully keep Ashikaga Yoshiaki. After all, Ashikaga Yoshiaki is Ashikaga Yoshiteru's sibling, and the two look very similar.

If Ashikaga Yoshiaki had stayed in Kyoto, even if the Ashikaga Shogunate was eventually destroyed, Yoshigan would have prevented Oda Nobunaga from killing Ashikaga Yoshiaki, and he would have been able to save his life to some extent, but this was always a hidden danger.

But if Ashikaga Yoshiaki escaped and became a pawn in the hands of Western daimyo, his life would not be spared by Yoshigan.

Regardless of whether the Western daimyo used the name of Ashikaga Yoshiaki to rebel against the center of the shogunate, or Ashikaga Yoshiaki himself caused trouble in the west, the trouble would eventually get out of hand and push him to death.

Akechi Mitsuhide was not worried about the future, but he was afraid that Yoshigan would intervene now and disturb Ashikaga Yoshiaki's escape, so he would deliberately find trouble and cause dissatisfaction to the emperor.

Your Majesty has to ask about everything, so what do you want your subordinates to do? Yoshihiro said a few harsh words and left in anger, but gave Akechi Mitsuhide the opportunity to act cheaply.

Mitsuhide Akechi could justifiably refuse to report the plan, but after Ashikaga Yoshiaki fled, the ship was done and the rice was cooked, and Yoshihiro had no way to pursue the case anymore.

———

Yoshiyin didn't know that Mitsuhide Akechi had a lot of trouble in his stomach. After a few days of leisure, he finally encountered something troublesome.

As the Tongxin Secretariat compiled the list of military merits and presented the Yiyin letter, Yiyin was momentarily dizzy by the huge number of post-war rewards.

Yiyin breathed a sigh of relief that he did not need to be rewarded with land, but the reward of money and food that followed still made him feel suffocated.

Yiyin read the document three times and was stunned for a long time at the last number before asking.

"Is the reward list confirmed?"

Naomasa Ii held his head proudly and said.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. This is a list that I have personally checked. There are no omissions. It is fair, just and open. No one has any objections."

Yiyin's face was stiff, his tongue felt bitter, and he was speechless. After a long while, he said.

"Shixiang."

"Hi!"

"I'm going to Sakai Port in three days. You should prepare first."

One hundred thousand troops fought fiercely in spring and summer. Not only were the military expenditures staggering, but the number of post-war rewards exceeded Yi Yin's imagination.

In desperation, Yiyin could only find his own little Goddess of Wealth, Takada Harano, and think of a way.

The reason why we set off in three days is that Yiyin is preparing to solve the problem of Lilu's reward.

News came from Sakai Port that Lilu's Nanman merchant ship has returned to Sakai Port. The Battle of Saba Oda is over, and Lilu's appointment as the Shogunate's Nanban general agent should also be put on the agenda.

Now Ashikaga Yoshiaki has been reduced to a decoration, and Kyoto is under the control of the Shiba family.

With the prestige of Yiyin, it is easy to open a shogunate council to decide on such trivial matters as the general agent of Nanman.

At the shogunate council meeting the next day, the facts were just as Yoshigan expected.

No matter what Yoshihiro said in the review, the leader, Hatakeyama Takamasa, and the acting official of the political office, Ninagawa Chiayo, only firmly supported it, and other small fish and shrimps even rushed to agree.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki, who was sitting on the main seat, said nothing and looked on with cold eyes. He was really like a decoration. Central

Seeing the samurai family of the shogunate rushing to flatter Yoshigan, the last trace of hesitation in Ashikaga Yoshiaki's heart was finally cut off.

The whole shogunate has been reduced to the lackeys of the Shiba family, and there is no place for Ashikaga Yoshiaki to stand. When Oda Nobunaga is in Kyoto, she is a decoration. Yoshigan is in Kyoto, and she is even more a decoration.

Stimulated beyond measure by reality, Ashikaga Yoshiaki's heart surged with pride and ambition.

She wants to follow the example of her ancestor Ashikaga Takauji and go to the Western Kingdom to seek support. One day she will lead an army back to Kyoto and become a veritable Ashikaga shogun.
