According to Yoshigami's idea, Ashikaga Yoshiaki used Ise Sadism to stabilize the situation in Kyoto in order to achieve a smooth transition, and then make liquidations after taking office.
Because he had previously expressed his support for Ashikaga Yoshiaki at Nijo Imperial Palace, Yoshigan no longer interfered with the affairs of the Ise Sadakado. This was a person who was going to die sooner or later, and there was nothing to care about.
Ise Sadakyo worked hard to help Ashikaga Yoshiaki to deal with the Tendai Sect, but in the end he couldn't avoid being stabbed.
If Ashikaga Yoshiaki does not liquidate the Ise Sadato after he succeeds to the throne, Yoshihiro will also raise objections and send this old dog on his way. Anyway, the evidence of the crime is solid and there is no way to deny it, so why are you afraid that she will turn upside down?
Ninagawa himself was so afraid of Ise Sadaji that he did not hesitate to send his daughter to him as a sympathizer to seek protection.
Yiyin couldn't understand her operation, so he couldn't help but ask.
"Ise Sadaoka is nothing but withered bones in a grave. Is it worth being so afraid of you?"
Ninagawa was stunned. She didn't expect Yoshigan to be so trusting and not care about the threat of Ise Sadaji.
Ise Sakyu has been trained for a long time, and his family background is very deep. Ninagawa himself can be valued by Ashikaga Yoshiteru, and it is naturally not a good thing to put him in the political office and target Ise Sakyo.
Let these two go out to fight, and even if they are tied together, they can't defeat the hands of powerful men like Maeda Toshiie and Shimakatsu Takeru. But when it comes to the little tricks used by the shogunate, they are all top-notch experienced players.
The shogunate relied on his specialty of fighting within the shogunate. Ninagawa himself was the second-largest among the shogunate, and his sense of smell was naturally very keen.
Ise Sakyo is not a fool. If she will be liquidated sooner or later, she will never work so hard for Ashikaga Yoshiaki and will definitely find another way out.
By describing Ninagawa as a member of the Shiba Yoshigan party, she was able to escape Ashikaga Yoshiaki Kamiro's establishment of power, throw out two scapegoats for committing seppuku, and pass the test safely.
This incident was very strange, and it filled Ninagawa's heart with uneasiness.
Although Ninagawa Makoyo didn't know what Ise Sakyo was doing behind the scenes, she knew very well that her situation was very bad.
Yoshihiro Shiba was not Akechi Mitsuhide, and he only had a superficial understanding of the ministers. In fact, life for the ministers had not been easy in recent years.
The third shogun, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, reformed the shogunate and left the local imperial family members to protect the daimyo, while the Naotshin family members at the center of the shogunate were changed to the shogunate, and the daimyō system was established.
The power of the imperial court that manages the imperial family suddenly fell to the bottom, from the central defense ministry to the Kyoto police station, and it was so embarrassing.
The only main power agencies of the shogunate are the assessment office, the inquiry office, and the government office.
The appraisers are responsible for appraising all matters, which is commonly known as following procedures. Should we quarrel? How long will we quarrel? Will we let the policy pass? This is the source of power of the appraisers.
It's a pity that after the Yashiro Shogun Rebellion, various places tended to be independent and ignored the opinions of the central government. The value of the evaluation was getting lower and lower, and the evaluation public was gradually reduced to a decoration.
The Wenzhu Office is responsible for the management of land, title, family status and other documents. When the shogunate is strong, it is still a good place to go.
When the shogunate declined, thieves would no longer want to steal there. Dogs didn't care about a pile of documents except for fire protection.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, local powerful people established themselves as state shepherds and governors. They also knew how to bow in the direction of the capital and burn the documents asking for an official position to the emperor.
But in the Warring States Period in Japan, who still took the Institute of Questions and Notes seriously?
For example, in the disputes in the Western Kingdom, the name of the mountain declined and Nizi rose up, and Nizi declined and Maori rose up.
The boss has changed several times, and the land below has changed owners countless times. Who would consider asking who owns this land in the documents in the registration office?
The only thing in the shogunate that still has some weight is the government office. It controls the donations of samurai families from various places and arbitrates disputes over the shogunate's territory.
The hereditary deacon of the Ise family has a high position of authority. Ninagawa himself said that his family is a member of the Ise family. It is modest to say that his status is low, but it is true that he cannot defeat the Ise family.
The shogunate is already in ruins, and the ministers who rely on the shogunate to make a living actually don't have many ways out.
Several major institutions were in ruins, leaving only the political offices with a few mouthfuls of meat to eat. As a result, there was more food and less food, and internal fighting became increasingly fierce.
Ise Sakyo ruled the political office with one hand and dared to fight with Ashikaga Yoshiteru. However, Ninagawa himself only dared to act like a dog and a white glove to Ashikaga Yoshiteru.
Now that Ashikaga Yoshiteru is dead and Ise Sakyo is thriving under the new general, can Ninagawa himself not be afraid?
Ise Sadakyo said that she was accused of killing the general, but the old fox would not sit still and wait for death. Seeing how she tied Ninagawa Makoto and Shiba Yoshigan to publicize it, we knew that she had bad intentions.
Ninagawa himself was so scared that he came to Shiba's mansion to surrender as soon as he returned to the capital. Even the heir was willing to give Yoshigashi Shiba as a hostage daughter, and begged the Imperial Palace for protection.
However, Yoshigan Shiba's indifferent expression made Ninagawa himself stunned. The Imperial Palace did not pay attention to Ise Sakyo at all.
The Ise family has been in control of the government for more than a hundred years, and three generations of important ministers of the Ise Sadao have become savage old foxes. Shouldn't such people be strangled to death immediately and kept to have cubs during the New Year?
Ninagawa was stunned on the spot and didn't know how to persuade him.
After all, she is not Mitsuhide Akechi, a retainer of Shiba, and not a confidant of Yoshihiro, so how can she dare to say something that goes beyond the boundaries?
Who knows what Shiba Yiyin thinks? Foreign ministers can't grasp the scale and can't talk nonsense. What if they say something wrong?
Ninagawa himself bowed his head and remained silent, which made Yoshigage a little confused. Did he say something wrong?
He said gently.
"Ninagawa-sama, if you have anything to say, you can say it directly. You understand me, and I will not be punished for my words."
Ninagawa himself glanced at Shiba Yoshigan and said with a wry smile.
"Otai Suo, you are upright and have a noble temperament. You may not understand the dark thoughts of those villains.
I'm just worried that if I kill the snake, I'll end up in harm's way. I think Ise Sadakyo has bad intentions, and if I keep her, I'm afraid I'll have long nights and many dreams."
Ninagawa himself spoke with some sincerity in his euphemism. I hope Yoshigoshi Shiba will immediately take action and strangle Ise Sadakyo to death.
No matter how extreme it is, she won't be able to say anything. The relationship between Yoshigan Shiba and Yoshiaki Ashikaga is difficult for outsiders to understand.
The main reason is that he can't see through Spo Yiyin's step-by-step concessions, and he looks like a complete political amateur.
After giving up the power, could it be that he really loved his ancestor to death, and was moved or in love with Ashikaga Yoshiaki's face that looked exactly like his ancestor?
Such words can only be slandered. Who dares to say it at this sensitive time? No one realizes that Yoshigan Shiba's concession was mainly due to the threat of Oda Nobunaga.
Oda Nobunaga was very cunning. He stayed in Tofukuji Temple and watched the internal fighting in the shogunate. He was only concentrating on the security of Kyoto and had no intention of getting involved.
Although she has a perverse temperament, she has behaved her duty since she entered the capital and her ambitions have not yet been exposed.
The gazes of the shogunate ladies naturally ignored her and stared at the transfer of power between Yoshigan Shiba and Yoshiaki Ashikaga.
The future ranking of power in the shogunate will affect everyone's livelihood. At this time, who cares about what a foreign country bumpkin daimyo is doing?
Yoshigan's unconditional concession was not only incomprehensible to Ashikaga Yoshiaki and his group, but even his comrades in the trenches were confused.
Only then did the Hosokawa Mibuchi family become bold and cautious, ready to further build on the wall. And Ninagawa himself hesitated to speak, leaving half of his words behind.
Yiyin himself didn't realize this problem yet, he just frowned and said.
"Ise Sada is working for His Highness Yoshiaki to bridge the differences with the Tendai Sect.
Regarding the funeral of our ancestors, His Highness Yoshiaki has sent someone to explain to me. Xiangguo Temple did not do it properly, and I also agree to let Tiantai Sect handle it again.
The Ise Sadakado is dealing with this matter, and if she is taken down at this time, they are afraid that there will be other bad associations with the Tiantai Sect.
Please tolerate her for a few days. After His Highness Yoshiaki succeeds to the throne, I will immediately write a letter stating that I want Ise Sakyo's head.
You don't have to worry, she won't live long."
Ninagawa was a little disappointed, but Yoshigan Shiba had already made it clear and made it clear the date of Ise Sakyo's death, so she couldn't say anything else.
So she kowtowed to the ground and said.
"I am ashamed of the wisdom of Odaisho. How to deal with the Ise Sadaect is of course at your command.
What about Ninagawa-chan..."
Yoshigan glanced at Ninagawa's elder. She was already in Yuanfu and was a few years older than the Kamao clan.
"Gamo clan township."
"Hi!"
Yoshigan pointed at Ninagawa's elder brother and said.
"You take Ninagawa to settle down, and arrange for her to work in Tongxinzhong."
Kamao clan paused for a moment, seeming a little reluctant. But Ninagawa mother and daughter were present, so she didn't feel like saying anything and bowed.
"Hi!"
Ninagawa himself smiled and nodded, and kept saying words of gratitude to Yoshigan Shiba.
Although the matter of Ise Sada was hanging in his mind and the transfer of power between the two Ashirosbo seemed to be mysterious, Ninagawa still stood decisively on the side of Yoshigan Iseba.
Because she believes in a truth, that is, a strong fist is the best.
Despite the constant cleverness and calculations of these people inside and outside the shogunate, they seem to be arrogant. But if they are allowed to go into battle against Yoshigashi Shiba, they will all be defeated. Who has the courage to start a war with the Ashikaga Army God?
Ashikaga Yoshiteru died, and Ninagawa himself had no backer. What was even more troublesome was that she was more or less a criminal.
The safest way is to stand on the side of Spo Yiyin, who holds great righteousness and is unparalleled in battle. Whether it is reasoning or fighting, he will be in an invincible position.
Ninagawa's thoughts were very simple. He did not seek merit, but sought no faults. The Ninagawa family did not expect to be rich and powerful, they just wanted not to be swept up by the whirlpool established by the shogunate again.
Shiba Yiyin's character is known to be solid. If you stand with him, at least you don't have to worry about being betrayed by your teammates.
In Ninagawa's eyes, this is the choice to protect your capital and bottom line.
Therefore, she decisively followed Kamao Kenhide's old method of sacrificing her daughter to survive. No matter how turbulent the shogunate would be in the future, at least her heir would be saved.
———
After receiving the Ninagawa mother and daughter, Shiba Yoshigan was a little tired. He was still recovering from his illness, and he played tricks with Ninagawa himself for a long time, which could be regarded as sending away this old fox of the shogunate.
Ninagawa's own daughter surrendered to protect the heir, and got the acquiescence of Shiba Yoshigan. So, Ninagawa ran to the Nijo Imperial Palace to flatter the future Ashikaga Shogun.
Yiyin was also extremely helpless towards these old fritters in the shogunate.
I look down on their selfish faces, but it won't work if I don't win over them. On the one hand, they need to shout for many things, but on the other hand, I am afraid that they will cause trouble in secret.
The interior of the shogunate was in a state of complete rot, filled with bastards who failed to achieve anything but failed. Yoshigan felt that dealing with these people was far more tiring than dealing with the samurai families in Kanto.
He missed Terutora Uesugi a little. When they were in Echigo country, one of them was a good guy and the other was a bad guy, so it was much easier to do things.
In Kyoto, Yoshigan lacked a ruthless man with a knife to cooperate. He suddenly thought of Oda Nobunaga and couldn't help but shook his head. If he had cooperated with Oda Nobunaga, the shogunate would really be gone.
Just as Yoshigan said to Akechi Mitsuhide, he didn't care how bad the shogunate was, he just wanted to keep the lid closed while he was alive, and didn't want to see any human tragedy.
If that surly guy like Oda Nobunaga was allowed to take power, I don't know what kind of torment the world would be in.
With this naive idea, Yoshigan reluctantly dealt with all parties, hoping to integrate the forces within the shogunate, suppress Oda Nobunaga's ambition, and live a peaceful life for a few days.
It's a pity that his compassion for the world is too naive after all, and he cannot help others, and will even harm his own people.
———
Yoshigan was still in a daze, but Kamaojigo had already returned to the room and bowed.
"Ninagawa-san has made arrangements?"
"Hi!"
Seeing Kamo's frowning, Yoshiyin asked.
"Any questions?"
Kamojigo said softly.
"I had a little contact with Mr. Ninagawa. She is sophisticated and tactful. I feel that she is not suitable for the work of Tongxindu."
Yiyin chuckled.
"Do you think Tongxinzhong should find a group of half-grown lolita for you to train them well?"
Pu Shengshixiang said with a red face.
"Otaisuo, I just think that you can cultivate loyalty at a young age."
Yiyin shook his head. What is loyalty? He just thinks that children are easy to be brainwashed. The village of Pu Sheng is using the people as dead soldiers.
he said.
"Shixiang, I know you are doing it for my own good, but things are different now.
As my status gets higher and higher, Tongxinzhong will inevitably become a job that many people flock to.
You hope to find a group of little girls to cultivate loyalty, and others hope to bring in children to feel at ease.
do you understand?"
Pu Shengshixiang was stunned and fell silent.
When she reorganized the Tongxin Group, she only chose Lolita. On the one hand, she was young and feared that she would not be able to convince the crowd. On the other hand, she also cultivated the heirs of each family as confidants for Yiyin in order to control the place.
But Ninagawa himself took the opportunity this time to insert his adult daughter in. Ninagawa himself looked like a shogunate, and would be a veteran of the shogunate in the future.
It is not easy to learn well, but it only takes three days to learn bad. If such people join the Tongxin Clan, the Tongxin Clan will no longer be pure. Once the people's hearts are scattered, it will be difficult to lead the team.
Yiyin glanced at Pu Sheng's hometown and said.
"Sooner or later, the Tongxin people will become a hodgepodge. Ninagawa's descendants will be full of people. In recent times, the important ministers of Shibo will also follow the same example. You can't always lead a group of simple-minded children.
Cixiang, I believe in your ability, but you must also learn to adapt to the new situation.
Do you know how the third shogun, His Highness Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, formed the Ashikaga Kaishu?"
