When Miyoshi Chokei became the leader of the country, he only sought a puppet general to depose the shogunate and represent the world as a governor. Could it be that Miyoshi Yoshitsugu was more awesome than her adoptive mother and dared to commit treasonous acts?
But seeing the fire in the imperial palace, the public's confidence was shaken immediately. These four-country turtles from the Mihaoshi family might really have something going on in their minds!
Ashikaga Yoshiki saw the fire coming from the direction of the palace, her eyes suddenly turned red, and she let out a suppressed roar.
"Father... Teru-kun... Oh my God! Miyoshi Yoshitsugi! I will fight you!"
After saying that, she turned around and was about to go out. Feng Gong, whom she had persuaded before, hugged the general's thigh tightly and begged.
"Master Gongfang! Please be calm! Miyoshi Yoshitsugi doesn't dare to act recklessly. The Miyoshi family has been looking forward to going to Luo for more than ten years, so that they won't be so crazy!
Ise Sakyo will not allow the Miyoshi family to go crazy. She will not watch the Miyoshi family destroy the shogunate. The ministers will not allow the shogunate to fall!
Please think carefully! This matter is fraudulent!"
Ashikaga Yoshiki was even more confused when she howled, and he couldn't figure out the situation, so he asked in a deep voice.
"You mean, this is Miyoshi Yoshitsugu's attempt to intimidate me?"
Seeing that the general had listened to the advice, the minister hurriedly said.
"Master Gongfang is wise!
Your resolute temperament is known to the world. The Miyoshi family may resort to this trick in order to force you to make concessions, but they will never have the guts to harm the direct descendants of the Genji family in Kawachi!
Odaisho and His Highness Ashikaga Teru-kun are the hostages who are forcing you to surrender. How can they harm them? They should be protected!
The fire in the direction of the Imperial Palace may not really be the Imperial Palace burning, it may be a trap! Please treat it calmly and strictly guard the city waiting for the envoys of the Miyoshi family to arrive.
The Sanhao family has played so many tricks to disturb your mood, just to gain an advantage in the negotiation! You must not fall into their tricks, and you must not mess up your position at this time!"
Ashikaga Yoshiki nodded slowly, feeling that what she said made sense.
Today's Miyoshi family is no longer the Miyoshi family that had three sisters and four sisters sweeping across recent lands. Her family's territory in the four countries is unstable, and only Settsu is left in recent lands, and its strength is not as good as before.
Miyoshi Yoshitsugu, the new family governor, lacked prestige, and the retainers were in constant strife. She did not have the courage to destroy the Ashikaga family and completely overthrow the shogunate.
The shogunate and local powerful factions all relied on the shogunate to survive. They were dissatisfied with Ashikaga Yoshiteru and tacitly allowed the Miyoshi family to go to Luo and overthrow the shogun, but they would never allow the Miyoshi family to overthrow the shogunate.
Without the righteousness of the shogunate, how can the ministers still control Kyoto, a political and economic cornucopia, and bring in money? What reputation does the local powerful faction have to rule the place and be the master?
How many people are eating while pointing at the counter of the shogunate. If the Miyoshi family kills the king and slaughters the clan, killing the rightful ruler of the world, what will everyone eat in the future?
The Miyoshi family themselves are not stupid enough to do this. The blame for regicide is placed on their heads, and Miyoshi Yoshitsugu cannot bear it.
After thinking clearly about the relationship, Ashikaga Yoshiki breathed a sigh of relief, reluctantly trusting the public's judgment. Thinking of her father and Huijun falling into the hands of the Miyoshi family, she couldn't help but sit down, shaking her head and sighing.
"Then just wait, wait for Miyoshi Yoshitsugu and the Ise Sadato sect members to come and see how they want to arrange for me."
Ashikaga Yoshiki may not care about her own life or death, but she cannot ignore her deeply emotional relatives. She has decided to give up power for the sake of her father and brother.
After thinking about it clearly, Ashikaga Yoshiteru smiled miserably. He had worked hard for more than a year and returned to the pre-centralization state overnight. He was not even as good as before, at least he was not sitting around waiting to die.

Miyoshi Masayasu, who was inspecting military affairs and arranging the siege of Nijo Castle, hurried back to the main formation and saw Miyoshi Choitsu and Iwanari Tomomi with frowns on their faces.
When Sanhao Changyi saw her coming back, he forced a smile and said.
"Thanks for your hard work Masayasuji, how is the situation in Nijo Castle?"
Miyoshi Masayasu said with a stiff face and a salute.
"What can happen to Nijo Castle?
Ashikaga Yoshiki, an empty-headed general, did not even have the military strength to defend the city wall. Dozens of monks could not even stand in the castle tower. If not for her special status, Nijo Castle could have been breached at any time.
I heard that Matsunaga has sent an envoy here? What is this little girl doing? Why is there so much fire in the direction of the Imperial Palace? What happened?"
Miyoshi Masayasu was anxious and kept asking questions. Miyoshi Changyi sighed and said.
"We don't care about matters in the Imperial Palace's direction.
When entering the capital, Matsunaga was clamoring to divide the troops to seize the credit. If there was a military disturbance, the Matsunaga family would naturally be responsible for it. Besides, if nothing serious happened, would she have the guts to harm the Odai?
I called you back to discuss the attack on the city."
Miyoshi Masayasu felt uneasy. He felt that Miyoshi Changitsu had underestimated the destructive power of Matsunaga, a pig teammate. He originally wanted to persuade him again.
But when she heard Miyoshi Changyi mention the attack on the city, she immediately forgot about the matter of Matsuyongdong and said in astonishment.
"Siege the city? Nijo Castle? Lord Choitsu, there is Ashikaga Shogun there! Are you crazy!"
Seeing Miyoshi Masayasu getting excited, Miyoshi Nagaitsu smiled bitterly and shook his head. On the side, Tomomichi Iwanari stepped in to calm down and explained.
"Masayasuji, please calm down. This is not something that Lord Changitsu wants to do, but an order from His Highness Miyoshi Yoshitsugu."
The trio of Sanhaos had surrendered and were forced to go to Luo as a vanguard to bear the bad reputation they had committed, just to return to the Sanhao family.
They are so willing to compromise, what does Miyoshi Yoshitsugu, the new governor of the family, want to do? Attacking the city where General Ashikaga is located is a serious crime of transgression!
The mistrust between Miyoshi Yoshitsugu and the three Miyoshi finally allowed Matsunagahide to open a gap, which led to their misjudgment.
The Miyoshi trio never thought that this was Matsunagahide's conspiracy, and thought it was a pre-planned move by Miyoshi Yoshitsugu to further suppress them.
Miyoshi Masayasu thought for a moment and said.
"No! Absolutely not! We went to Luo and invaded Kyoto, and we have already charged Miyoshi Yoshitsugi with the crime of disrespect.
Now she is forcing us to attack the general's garrison. How will we gain a foothold in the martial arts family in the future? This is a great treason that will harm our descendants. We must never do it!
Ashikaga General is trapped in Nijo Castle, and his troops will soon succumb due to lack of food. Why does Miyoshi Yoshitsugu ask us to attack by force? This is deliberately setting up a trap for us!
I want to appeal to Mr. Mihao Kangchang, because this is different from the conditions originally negotiated."
Sanhao Changyi said helplessly.
"You, please calm down and use honorifics when addressing the governor. You must understand that this is not something we can refuse just by saying no.
Matsunaga Michi sent a sealed letter from Miyoshi Yoshitsugu, asking us to obey orders in the name of the family governor. How could I refuse?
The Settsu Kingdom has been taken over by my family, and the territories of the families of the Settsu people are all in my hands. Can I refuse the military order of the family governor?"
Miyoshi Masayasu snorted and said.
"What a good idea. It turns out that you have already prepared a backup plan to deal with us. What a wise and powerful His Highness Miyoshi Yoshitsugi.
Where is the seal and picture? Bring it to me and take a look."
