Miyoshi Changqing held the head of Anzhai Dongyasu and kept talking about his childhood memories, the difficulties and obstacles of the four brothers starting a business, the heroic spirit of enterprising Kinei, the perseverance in the face of setbacks, and the glorious glory of dominating Kyoto.
As he spoke, he would laugh or cry loudly from time to time. He was so indulgent that he lost the majesty of the elegant and plain Sanzhu in the past.
Miyoshi Changqing, who is famous all over the world, went completely crazy. Watching his loved ones pass away one by one was such a blow to him that in the last stage of his life, he could not even maintain the most basic thinking ability.
He crazily hugged Anzhai Dongkang's rotting and stinking head and refused to let anyone touch it.
Even his uncle Miyoshi Yasunaga was kicked out of the castle tower without hesitation. Relatives and the like were as meaningless in his eyes as clouds in the sky. Uncles, nephews, cousins, etc. were all worthless.
If you take away your territory and want to take away your authority, you have no worries in this world.
Sanhao Changqing madly and stupidly repeated: "I stand on the Santu River with my body, and the flowers on the other side are blooming like blood. I wonder how deep the Santu River is, and I walk on the road of fire..."
At the beginning of the 10th year of Eiroku, Miyoshi Nagakei completed his final journey in the Shoryuji Castle castle tower. His death meant that the Miyoshi family entered an era of turmoil and chaos. The power struggle between the three Miyoshis and Matsunagahide began to emerge.
There are clues that the young Miyoshi Yoshitsugu became the puppet of the two groups without any idea, and the chaos and rumors in Kyoto were also caused by this.
"The Miyoshi family fell into the hands of the three Miyoshis and Matsunaga Hide. His Royal Highness was so excited that he stayed up all night and held a grand singing party to celebrate. It was really too frivolous and disrespectful." Kuga Harumichi is Ashikaga Yoshiteru's.
He was his uncle and a retired right minister, so he was not polite to criticize the shogunate.
Tsuda Muneji said: "His Royal Highness Gongfang is too happy. The young governor of Xia Sanhao's family just entered Shangluo. The three of them showed off their power in front of many ministers, and even asked for a word from His Highness Gongfang.
Thank you, Your Highness now understands that your situation has not fundamentally changed."
The minor information about Ashikaga Yoshiteru's embarrassment is not a secret in the circle of high-ranking samurai. As a core member of the Sakai Town Naya clan, Tsuda Muneki happened to be in that circle, and he had his own special intelligence channels to learn some specific details.
What he dares to say is not just rumors, it is all high-quality information that has been strictly screened.
In these years, working with the Kanto Ashikaga family has made them richer than before. As a famous cultural figure in Sakai Town, he has close contacts with wealthy businessmen in Kyoto. He knows some information that ordinary people don't know, so he has a unique understanding of the changes in Kinai. Ashikaga Yoshi
Hui's emotional ups and downs, from great joy to great sadness, were all based on this rumor-like piece of information.
Of course, Otate Harmitsu also knew that this was the case, but as a minister, he could not discuss the scandal of his master's humiliation, so he could only talk about him: "Three good people and three people must be planning some ulterior motives!"
Feiyang in Kyoto is far more domineering than when Miyoshi Xiuden was alive. It is indeed a bad choice to let them act as they please. I always feel that something unknown will happen in Kyoto, which cannot make people feel at ease."
…
Only a few dozen kilometers away, in the side hall of Jishoji Temple at the foot of the eastern mountain of Kyoto City, Nozomi Tsumabuki softly sang songs to lull her four daughters to sleep. Even though her life was good and she did not need to take care of the children herself, this stubborn but gentle woman
He still insists on feeding and raising his children.
After leaving the child's room, I saw my husband taking out his beloved tachi and wiping it repeatedly. The bright sword shone with a little cold light in the candlelight. Akechi Mitsuhide's eyes were full of enthusiasm and persistence, as if he were appreciating a peerless treasure.
He looked at the sword in his hand over and over again.
"Your Highness, the children have all gone to bed." Tsumabuki Xiko slowly sat next to him and cuddled up to him. Every time she leaned on his generous shoulders, she always felt extremely at ease. Simple and stubborn women always do this.
In her mind, her husband will always be the best samurai in the world. Facts have proved that she is right. Akechi Mitsuhide's choice to leave Mino with his retainers was not wrong. He is indeed an amazing and excellent samurai.
"This is the first time that I, Mitsuhide, have received a reward. Now that I think back to the time when I left Edo Castle, His Highness Kōkata personally gave me the sword, the armor, and the war horse as a reward, I still cannot forget it for a long time!" Akechi Mitsuhide held the sword in his hand and gestured in the air.
A few times, the deep blade flashed with patches of snow, and the dazzling slashing and stabbing attacks were seamless and had no impact on the lady beside him.
Nozomi Tsumabuki was familiar with her husband's character. From his breathing rhythm and the way he spoke, she could tell that her husband was very excited, so she smiled and said, "His Royal Highness must be a very majestic warrior!"
"Xiko must not know! In the Eastern Kingdom, you can get swords, great armors, and war horses. The number of warriors given to you is no more than two palms. Each one of them is a powerful warrior who is famous in Kanto and even the world. I, Mitsuhide, will give me a silent
Even if the nameless person is treated so favorably, he will not hesitate to do so even if he is heartbroken!" Akechi Mitsuru's words were sonorous and powerful, his eyes were as firm as iron, and he was completely different from the gentle and elegant look of the past.
Nozomi Tsumabuki smiled slightly: "I think His Highness's new mount is very majestic! I heard that many samurai in the shogunate are envious of it. I think His Highness Mikado also attaches great importance to His Highness."
"His Royal Highness Kōkata is very kind and thinks highly of me. When I expressed my willingness to serve in the Kanto Shogunate, His Highness Kōkata said that he admired my talent very much, but Kyoto needed samurai to stay, so I came back..." Akechi
Mitsuhide spoke vaguely, as if he was deliberately covering up something. If someone else were present, they might have noticed something hidden behind Akechi Mitsuhide's vague words. Nozomi Tsumabuki is just a simple woman, even if she could hear the difference in her smile.
I didn't expect it to be so deep,
He put away the sword and put it back respectfully on the altar with both hands raised flat. He turned around and gently stroked his wife's cheek, and said lovingly: "Now I am the commander of the fourth division of the shogunate public, and I have been promoted to the level of a powerful samurai of the shogunate.
There is no shortage of money, food or maids at home, so Ah Xi should stop doing the heavy housework."
"The maids are clumsy. I am afraid that they will break things if they do not do well. After all, I have packed everything in the house by myself. If I think of the need, I can find it myself. If I were a maid, I would definitely be in a hurry.
"." Nozomi Tsumabuki is a very beautiful woman. Even in Kyoto, her pretty face and white and tender skin can be ranked at the forefront. It's a pity that her beautiful face has been completely destroyed by several hideous herpes scars.
Overall beauty.
Akechi Mitsuhide sighed secretly and advised apologetically: "It doesn't matter if the maids don't do well, it doesn't matter if they are messy, and it doesn't matter if they break things. As long as you have Axi's guidance, you will be able to get started as soon as possible! After all, Axi is the best in Meinong.
The most beautiful and hard-working woman!"
"Your Highness, please don't praise me like this. I am already very happy to serve Your Highness like a plum blossom. There are so many beautiful princesses in Kyoto who are much prettier than me." Tsumabuki Xiko's face turned red and she said coyly: "Your Highness
I will arrange for the maids to carry out the instructions tomorrow."
The two talked for a while, and by the time of the second watch, his wife, Mu Xizi, couldn't bear the sleepiness. She snuggled into his arms and fell asleep. Akechi Mitsuhide gently picked up his wife, put her in the bedding, covered her with a quilt, and stood up to blow out the candles.
Walking out of the room quietly, there was no trace in the quiet corridor. As a boarding samurai, it was not convenient for the maids to live together in the temple, so he ordered them to come in to serve during the day and return to the town outside the temple to live at night.
Looking around, I found that the lights in Cizhao Temple had long been dimmed. The monks had taken an early rest after their evening classes. The shogunate barracks outside the temple were also very quiet. The defense of Kyoto did not require serious digging of earth and trenches, nor did it require day and night guards.
.Three thousand troops only need to rise and rest at sunset.
Akechi Mitsuhide stood in the corridor and waited patiently. After a while, he saw a black-clad samurai walking out of a dark corner. This samurai was the Hattori security chief who had just met Uizumi Hidetsuna. The elusive predecessor Hattori Hanzo was still there.
Keeping a poker face, she just nodded lightly at him to say hello.
This is not the first time Akechi Mitsuhide has seen him. Five years ago, he had dealt with Hattori Chief at Jishoji Temple. He knew very well that the unattractive samurai in front of him, who was between middle-aged and old, was very special. He seemed to have been there before.
He holds an important position in the Kanto General Palace. For some reason, he returned to Kyoto and was responsible for intelligence collection, identification, and liaison.
Akechi Mitsuhide stepped forward and asked softly: "His Majesty, do you have any new instructions?"
"Chaos is imminent in Kyoto. The Hyuga Palace Guards must be mentally prepared and do not hesitate when it is necessary to go into battle. Everything is done to ensure the absolute safety of the target person." Hattori Chief's expression has remained unchanged for thousands of years, even the words he spoke.
The emphasis is also straightforward and lacks the necessary ups and downs in the tone.
Akechi Mitsuhide hesitated and said: "Is there going to be chaos so soon? I understand, I am sure to control 1,800 of these 3,000 troops, but I cannot control the remaining 1,200. Is that possible?
It is a danger to His Highness’s great cause.”
"Hinata Guards need to remember one thing. Your Highness has no great cause or ambition. The words you say can only fall into your ears. I don't want a third person to hear similar words again."
He reprimanded a few words without hesitation, and then said: "Eighteen hundred people are not enough. It would be better to have more than 2,000 people. The 5th Division Bantou Odate Shine, the 3rd Division Bantou Kuchiki Mototsukai
We will fully cooperate with Hinata’s actions to guard the temple.”
Akechi Mitsuhide bowed with shame on his face: "Sorry, I'll spare you the trouble. I'll remember it next time."
"Remember the following words. I will only say them once and will not repeat them a second time. It is still the same old rule that what I say comes from my mouth and goes into your ears. No third party, including Hinata Mamoru's family, is allowed to find out." Hattori Warden Chief took his time.
Said: "The three good people will have to pay urgent attention to the changes in the near future. Once they find any abnormal behavior, they must act immediately. They are very likely to take action against His Highness the Shogun. The mission of Hinata guarding the temple is about to happen."
The incident has a deep relationship..."
Akechi Mitsuhide was not stupid enough to ask him how he knew that there was something strange happening among the Miyoshi and the trio. As early as more than ten years ago, there was a legend circulating that the general of the garrison, Ashikaga Yoshitoki, had a mysterious ninja army. This group of people
All of them are so skilled that they never show their true colors to others. It is said that they have incredible power and can kill monsters and eliminate monsters, and have made many achievements for the Kwantung Duke to pacify the Eastern Kingdom.
With Akechi Mitsuhide's rich knowledge and wisdom, he certainly didn't believe that these ninjas could have such vast abilities. If he didn't believe it, it didn't mean that he would doubt the abilities of the samurai who were highly regarded by Ashikaga Yoshitoki, at least Hattori Bouchou's uncanny ability.
It's not something a normal samurai can do.
"... Last year, Lord Hirashima Ashikaga Yoshivi suffered a stroke and was paralyzed. When Miyoshi was on his deathbed at the repair house, the three Miyoshi people contacted Hirashima Lord for the first time in an attempt to do something nefarious. Due to the turmoil inside and outside the Miyoshi family, people were uncertain.
Give it up for the time being. In August of this year, the young governor of the Miyoshi family, Kamikata, successfully received a name and changed his name to Miyoshi Yoshitsugu. Matsunagahide contacted the three Miyoshis and had three secret conversations. The contents are unknown. Miyoshi Masayasu went to the Awa Province Hirashima Imperial Palace to contact the Hirashima family.
The specific content of the conversation is unknown..."
Hattori's mouth was like a roaring iron cannon, and he read out a series of records in one breath. His words were so fast that Akechi Mitsuhide was speechless. Akechi Mitsuhide's brows furrowed tighter and tighter until he heard this call.
After reading, he whispered: "This Sanhao family really wants to abolish His Highness the Shogun. Doesn't he know that His Highness Gongfang is supported by the Shogun?"
"We don't know. We can't directly judge the truth based on the information we have. Maybe I'm afraid or not, it's just a thought." Hattori replied with an ambiguous statement.
Akechi Mitsuhide paced back and forth in the courtyard with his arms folded, and murmured: "It stands to reason that the three good people should be cautious and restrained. It stands to reason that with the power of His Highness Kōkata, the powerful people in Kinei should wait to be killed. It stands to reason that the East China Sea
In the current situation of Taoism, Oda Tanshoden should give up Matsudaira Ieyasu... But why haven't any of these principles been achieved?"
"It stands to reason that the five Hyuga Shouden Hyuugashou received from the imperial court and received the respect and promotion from His Highness the Shogun should serve the Shogunate wholeheartedly. It stands to reason that His Highness Komikata accepted the title from the Shogunate..." Hattori Baochang
I wanted to ridicule Akechi Mitsuhide for being too naive and childish in his thinking. But he accidentally mentioned a taboo topic, so he quickly shut his mouth and continued talking about Ashikaga Goshitoki.
Akechi Mitsuhide also wisely kept his mouth shut. He also knew that many things could not be explained clearly based on theory, so he sighed and said: "Logically, the shogunate Kōfōden is the general who conquered barbarians and is the common leader of the world. He should be praised by all the heroes in the world."
Unconditional support, but this has never happened. Logically speaking, the current emperor in Kyoto Ouchi is the supreme person of the eternal lineage, and should be supported by the people of the world. This kind of thing has never happened. If it is reasonable, it will be useful.
We no longer have samurai who kill people with swords, but we have samurai who let the ministers reason and talk to the world."
The Kanto Ashikaga family is so powerful, but they are also influenced and constrained by various statuses imposed on them. Just because he is a famous shogunate and is closest to the top in the shogunate system, every word and action of Ashikaga Yoshitoki will be affected.
People over-interpret things into several meanings, some of which are contrary to the original meaning they want to express. This is the adverse impact of deepening fame.
Oda Nobunaga was an ally of the Ashikaga family in Kanto. He was still determined to abandon the relationship between in-laws and allies and remain absolutely independent, and continued to attack the Tokaido and the side near Kinai. The adoption of Matsudaira Ieyasu, who caused great trouble in Mikawa Kingdom, also shows that
De Oda Nobunaga's strategic thinking is constantly changing, which shows from the side that this person's ambitions and decisions cannot be influenced by simply pursuing advantages and avoiding disadvantages. As for how stable the alliance between Ashikaga Yoshitoki and Oda Nobunaga is,
I'm afraid only the two parties involved will know it clearly.
The situation of the three Miyoshis and Matsunagahide are not much different from each other. What is certain is that the three Miyoshis tied together cannot be compared to one Miyoshi Yixian. Matsunagahide cannot be compared with the sane Miyoshi Nagakei. The three Miyoshis
The crowd is a group of powerful samurai who act selfishly and with narrow thinking, while Matsunagahide is a pure conspirator and part-time sycophant.
They are equivalent to being a member of the system built by Miyoshi Changqing. As the towering tree of Miyoshi's family decays and is about to fall, these silverfish have ulterior motives and prepare to take the opportunity to do something earth-shattering.
And in this way, they can accumulate enough prestige and influence to compete for the ownership of the last bit of the Sanhao family's family property.
"Depose His Highness the Exiled General and install a new general who is more puppet and more obedient? What's the point? Do you expect this puppet to be able to command the will of the Kanto General Palace?" Akechi Mitsuhide doesn't care about the desperate behavior of Miyoshi and the three others.
To depose him, I don't quite understand the significance of changing the puppet.
"If the samurai of the Miyoshi family think so far away, there will definitely be no slanderous words that killed Anzai Fuyayasu!" Hattori Chief snorted: "The death of Miyoshi Yoshihiro is also inseparable from Matsunagahide.
According to intelligence, Miyoshi Yoshihiro met Matsunagahide half a month before his death and accepted some local gifts from Yamato. However, the remaining local gifts disappeared inexplicably after Miyoshi Yoshihiro’s death.”
Realizing that he called Matsunagahide very rudely, Akechi Mitsuhide felt that Hattori Chief had some more conclusive information, so he said: "Matsuhisagi has a gloomy mind and a ruthless heart. His younger brother Naito Sokatsu is a powerful figure in Miyoshi's family."
General, it is said that one of his crippled arms was a gift from Sakonden, and there is also Matsu Nagahide's legitimate son, Matsu Nagahide, who secretly helped the former Furukawa Lord to cause rebellion. This family is indeed not a kind person."
"Enough chatter. Your Highness's will cannot be changed. You must ensure the safety of the target person. In addition, you must ensure that no fire occurs in Kyoto. The last fire in Kyoto burned half of the city. It took so much effort and hard work."
After rebuilding, we must not be burned down by those people again." Hattori Chief nodded to him, walked into the dark corner and disappeared without a trace. (To be continued, please search for Piao Tian Literature, novels.
