Hosokawa Motonsune didn't notice the subtle expression on his daughter's face. She lowered her head and thought for a long time and said.
"Tell your mother Sanyuan that I will allow her to continue to interact with Shiba Yiyin."
Previously, Haru Mibuchi was forced to distance herself from Yoshihiro Shiba in order to protect her from the anger of the ministers. Now it seems that Haru Mibuchi's kindness may be greatly rewarded.
My sister, who is silly and doesn't make people worry, may really be the kind of person who has a particularly good fortune.
In these years, I have protected her from wind and rain. In a few years, my daughter will be able to take charge of her own business, and I will be able to help her take care of her in her old age. She is also such a powerful person to help the surviving son of an old friend.
Thinking about it again, I worked so hard for the Izumi-Hosokawa family that my hair almost fell out. It was so infuriating that people are so much more powerful than others.
At this point, Hosokawa Motonsune has seen through the situation and is considering turning around, but a stubborn guy with no eyesight will go all the way to the dark side.
At the Hatakeyama family's residence in Kyoto, the mist filled the pool, and several graceful figures were looming out of sight. The woman's sometimes low and sometimes high moans came from the pool, filling the whole courtyard with a pink and ambiguous smell.
Outside, the guardian of Hanoi, Yusa Changjiao, and his daughter were waiting patiently in the meeting hall of the mansion for the Lord's meeting.
"Mother, Your Highness has gone too far. Such a big thing has happened in the shogunate meeting, and she still has the leisure to play with women, letting you waste your time here. It seems that the Hatakeyama family is really going to be destroyed..."
"Be careful!"
Yuzuo Changjiao shouted at his daughter in a low voice and glared at her fiercely.
The Yusa family has been loyal to the Hatakeyama family for generations. No matter how unbearable this generation of lord is, it is not a virtue for a minister to teach nonsense.
In fact, she was also disappointed. Hanoi Kingdom is located on the west side of Shancheng Kingdom and is a must-go place for the Sanhao Changqing Shangluo.
The situation of the Hatakeyama family in Kawachi is even more critical than that of the Izumi-Hosokawa family, but His Highness is still in the mood to play with women at this time. It's really...sigh...
In recent years, the Hatakeyama family has declined, losing Noto and Vietnam and China as far away as Hokuriku. It is no longer a famous name with millions of stones in the world.
But the old foundation of the Hatakeyama family in Japan is still there. It was precisely after Hatakeyama Takamasa came to power that he coveted the iron cannon craftsmanship of Kii Province, which caused Kii Province to fall into disgrace, leaving only Hanoi.
The iron cannon craftsmanship originally came from Tanegashima Island in Kyushu. It was acquired by the local samurai family in exchange for having sex with the Nanman people. Naturally, the craftsmanship was closely guarded.
In the past, iron cannons could be sold for 120 guan each in recent times, but they were more expensive than gold.
Later, I don’t know what method those people in Kii used to obtain the craft.
The price of iron cannons dropped to 50 to 60 guan apiece, and he was able to make a lot of money at this price, which aroused the greed of Hatakeyama Takamasa.
Afterwards, the people of the country and the temple also took action. Together they kicked the Hatakeyama family out of Kii Country, and now they only have the title of guardian.
The Zahezhong among the Chinese people and the Neraizhong of the Nerai Temple each divided their territories and captured the Kii Kingdom. They are all experts in using iron cannons. In recent years, they have been very prosperous and have enjoyed themselves like a fish in water.
Only the Hatakeyama family was secretly laughed at by the samurai family, and Hatakeyama Takamasa also got the reputation of a prodigal daughter.
Over the years, Yusachōjiao worked hard to support the Hanoi Kingdom, and it was only through the southern and northern wars that the Hatakeyama family still had the power to speak in the shogunate.
If it hadn't been for her, it's hard to say what would have happened to the Hatakeyama family now.
Her daughter, You Zuo, is a religious believer but doesn't think so. Seeing that the family's strength is constantly being depleted by helping the master's family, she feels heartbroken. The child sells his father's land, and the father sells his son's field, which makes her heart bleed.
Isn't it just profit to seek the favor of the public? Is this kind of master willing to fight for her life and death?
This idea is the reason why Wu family society is not peaceful.
Direct ministers are loyal, but when the master dies, he becomes a retainer. A retainer is also loyal, but can the descendants of a retainer be loyal for generations? The land and population have been given, how can they be taken back casually?
Over the course of several generations, if something happens to the family, the cards have to be reshuffled. Can this society be stable?
What's more, the world is in chaos, and how many direct ministers have already had different ideas before they can wait for future generations.
That's why Akechi Mitsuhide said that the rituals and music have collapsed and order must be restored.
After waiting for quite some time, until it was getting late outside and the sun was setting, Hatakeyama Takamasa appeared in the meeting hall with a springy face and a lazy expression.
"Yusa-sama, you are still here. If you have something to say, we can't talk about it tomorrow, we have to talk about it today."
Hatakeyama Takamasa was deliberately keeping her in the dark. Don't think that she didn't know about the rumors at home and abroad.
The Hatakeyama family's family business is supported by the Yusa family, otherwise it would have been completely defeated by the prodigal daughter.
One of her three dignified leaders, the governor of the Hatakeyama family and the shogun, were powerful daimyo who had to give some respect to her, so how could she stand the criticism from behind.
If it weren't for the fact that Yusa Changjiao is still respectful and loyal, he would have given her some color a long time ago.
Yuzuo Changjiao knew his master's temperament, so he had no intention of admonishing him at this time. He just asked urgently.
"Your Highness, I heard that during the review of the Miyoshi family today, there was a conflict between Ise-sama and Shiba Gozen?"
Hatakeyama Takamasa snorted.
"Shiba Yoshigan is so ignorant. In Omi Kingdom, he used an imperial family member to promote a local servant of Geguo Kingdom, which affected everyone's interests. Naturally, someone will find a reason to do something dirty. Isn't it strange?"
"But I heard that Emperor Shiba resigned from the shogunate with a strong attitude. He bluntly said that he was a minister of the Oda family and did not care about the affairs of the shogunate."
Hatakeyama Takamasa frowned and looked at the serious Yusa Chokyo and said.
"You have a lot of friends. Now that you've found out everything, why do you ask me?"
"Now that the Miyoshi family is about to be invaded, the shogunate is in chaos. Your Highness, how are you going to deal with it?"
"Of course, we will join forces with the ministers to kill the cousin Shiba Yiyin.
How dare you tear my face apart in the castle town? I will take him to Ashigaru Camp to give those untouchables a good time.
Let him promote those untouchables as imperial family members again, and serve those future imperial family members well."
Seeing that Hatakeyama Takamasa was still full of sentimental thoughts at this time, Yusa Chojiao almost fainted in despair.
"Sir! That's the legitimate son of the Shiba family! The third-in-command's child! You must be careful what you say!"
The three-manager system of the shogunate does not mean that there are three governors, but only these three are qualified to be governors.
In charge of the affairs of the shogunate and assisting the general in managing the world. When the general is young or has no prestige, he is a general with no real name.
Because of the importance of this position, only the three most trusted relatives of the Ashikaga family, Hosokawa, Shiba, and Hatakeyama, are qualified to hold this position.
Even though the Ashikaga family has declined to its present state, the Izumi-Hosokawa family and the Kawauchi-Hatakeyama family are still the shogun's biggest local supporters. And Yoshihiro Shiba's mother, Yoshitoshi, still wrote letters and presented gifts to the shogun every year during his lifetime to show his loyalty.
This Shiba Yoshigan should have been Hatakeyama Takamasa's closest relative and foreign aid. Now you are going to kill him for a trivial matter of face. Who will dare to get close to the Hatakeyama family in the future!
What's more, Imperial Siba was an upright person, and the problem was only formed when His Highness did something embarrassing and stepped forward to persuade him. How could such an act be respected by others?
Changjiao Youzuo's face was full of disappointment, and his daughter Xinjiao, who was hiding behind her, lowered her head, hiding her disdainful face and not knowing what she was thinking.
