Oda Nobunaga drew his sword and chopped off the head of the Ise Sadato, frightening the various Hime warriors in the shogunate council.
Ashikaga Yoshiaki, who was at the head, was trembling. He didn't know what Oda Nobunaga meant.
When the horsemen outside saw someone drawing a sword, they rushed in and surrounded the Oda family princess warriors headed by Oda Nobunaga.
Both sides drew their knives, and the atmosphere became extremely tense.
Niki Yoshimasa shouted.
"Everyone stop it!"
She looked at Wada Weimasa for help, what should she do? The Oda family's troops were guarding Kyoto, and there were 30,000 soldiers in the outer area of Minami Omi!
Wada Weimasa swallowed and asked dryly.
"Your Majesty Oda, what do you mean?"
Oda Nobunaga glanced at Ashikaga Yoshiaki, who was sitting on the main seat, and smelled a faint smell of urine, with a hint of disdain at the corner of his mouth.
"The Ise Sakyo conspired with the Miyoshi family to murder our ancestors, and the crime should not be forgiven!
Over the past few days, she has been repeatedly inciting in the shogunate to destroy the relationship between the general and the Odaisho. Now, she wants to encourage me to become the head of the shogunate. How can I get along with the general?
These rebellious officials and traitors will be punished by everyone. I just did what everyone wanted to do, so there is no need to thank me."
Wada Weimasa was stunned for a moment.
Oda Nobunaga's violent murder in front of the emperor was extremely arrogant. But her words were firmly based on morality, making people temporarily confused as to how to refute.
Looking at Ashikaga Yoshiaki who had not yet come to his senses in the main seat, Wada Weimasa reluctantly asked.
"So, His Highness Oda came here today not to participate in the shogunate's deliberation, but to kill this traitor?"
Oda Nobunaga looked at Wada Weimasa and said seriously.
"I am a foreign vassal, so I am not qualified to participate in the shogunate government. Whether or not Luozhong's legal system is passed is an internal matter of the shogunate and has nothing to do with me.
It's just that Miyoshi went to Raku to kill the king. Although the three Miyoshi people and the Ise Sadao who were the culprits killed him, the crimes of the Miyoshi family must be investigated.
The shogunate should take note of the murder of our ancestors and fight against the three good traitors! I, the Oda family, are willing to be the vanguard and assist the shogunate in the fight against rebellion!"
Oda Nobunaga was so impassioned that Wada Weimasa didn't know what to say and helplessly looked at the superior Ashikaga Yoshiaki.
At this time, Ashikaga Yoshiaki only felt a little wet under his crotch, and his face turned red and white.
No matter how nice Oda Nobunaga's words were, she was indeed killing people in front of the emperor with no scruples.
Ashikaga Yoshiaki was horrified to find that he seemed to have no way to deal with Oda Nobunaga.
Does she dare to order the Ashikaga Horsemen to take down Oda Nobunaga? Looking at Hitoshi Yoshimasa's attitude just now, you know that the boss of the Horsemen has become cowardly.
The Oda family's army has not yet retreated. At this time, Oda Nobunaga is in trouble. Who will stop the Oda family's army?
Ashikaga Yoshiaki vaguely thought of Yoshigan Shiba who left, gritted his teeth, and drove his figure out of his mind.
It was because he wanted to be arbitrary and monopolize power that he tried every possible means to get rid of Sibo Yiyin.
Fortunately, now, Oda Nobunaga, a foreign vassal with a humble background, dared to embarrass himself in public, which Ashikaga Yoshiaki really couldn't accept.
She is a direct descendant of Kawachi Genji! She is the Ashikaga Shogun! Her blood is a hundred times nobler than that of Oda Nobunaga!
But Ashikaga Yoshiaki had to bow his head at this moment. The body of Ise Sadakyo was on the ground. Who knows if Oda Nobunaga will go crazy again.
Ashikaga Yoshiaki hesitated to speak, Wada Weimasa was a little anxious, but Oda Nobunaga smiled slightly and said to a Hime Samurai next to him.
"Hideyoshi."
"Hi!"
One of the warriors she brought to the palace came out, it was Hideyoshi Hashiba, who bowed and obeyed the order.
Oda Nobunaga pointed to the dead heads of the Ise Sadato sect on the ground and said.
"Is the Ise family's mansion tightly fenced?"
Hideyoshi Hashiba said respectfully.
"It's been taken care of, and no one will get away."
Oda Nobunaga nodded and said.
"Go ahead and leave no one behind."
"Hi!"
Hashiba Hideyoshi turned around and left, but the Ashikaga horseback crowd blocked the way and the two sides suddenly reached a stalemate.
The Ashikaga Hime samurai looked at the commander, Hitoshi Yoshimasa, whose heart almost jumped into his throat.
She looked at Ashikaga Yoshiaki in panic. Ashikaga Yoshiaki was even more panicked than her and nodded subconsciously.
Niki Yoshimasa breathed a sigh of relief, waved to the Ashikaga Hime samurai, and let Hideyoshi out.
Once Hashiba Hideyoshi left, Oda Nobunaga's power became even more powerful. The mood of the shogunate became even more depressed.
Ashikaga Yoshiaki said.
"Oda-hime doesn't like the position of deputy general. Do you want to find a position as deputy general?"
As soon as he said this, Wada Weimasa couldn't stand it. Ashikaga Yoshiaki's appearance of being tough on the outside and weak on the inside really embarrassed the Ashikaga family.
Ashikaga Yoshiaki also wanted to save face and appear tougher. But as soon as she said the words, she regretted it. If Oda Nobunaga really agreed to kick the ball back, how would she catch it?
Oda Nobunaga glanced at Ashikaga Yoshiaki, smiled and said.
"I am Luoyin of the Ping family. I have no qualifications. The general is overly worried."
Ashikaga Yoshiaki breathed a sigh of relief, Oda Nobunaga finally gave him some face. But Wada Weimasa's heart skipped a beat, and his face looked a little strange.
The two Yuanping clans are the leaders of the Wu family.
The Genpei War was actually a battle between the Ise Heike and Kawachi Genji to compete for the world. At that time, the Heike had the Genji samurai family under their command, and the Kawachi Genji also had the Bando Hachihei clan under their command.
Ashikaga Yoshiaki lost his temper in anger and made up the name of a deputy general to mock Oda Nobunaga for his evil intentions.
The Ashikaga Shogunate is the direct descendant of the Genji family in Kawachi and protects the family structure within the system. It is the first rank of the Ashikaga family, the second rank of the Ashikaga clan, and the third rank of other branches of the Genji family.
All in all, Genji is the most expensive.
Oda Nobunaga retorted that the Taira family was descended from Yin, claiming to be a descendant of the Ise Taira family. Naturally, she could not hold the high position of deputy general. She was not worthy.
But the Oda family was the head of the Shiba family, and even though Oda Nobunaga was born into a common family, there was no reason for him to call himself a descendant of the Taira family.
What does "Luoyin" of the Ping family mean? The unrecognized concubine of the Ping family? Which Ping family is she?
Wada Weimasa had a vague feeling that Oda Nobunaga's words were not just to give Ashikaga Yoshiaki a chance to step down, but also had other intentions.
The Ashikaga Shogunate raised the banner of Kawachi Genji and followed the military rites of the Genji. Oda Nobunaga claimed that the Taira clan was descended from Yin, could it be...
Wada Weimasa was still thinking wildly, but Oda Nobunaga bowed to Ashikaga Yoshiaki and said.
"Now that the traitor Ise Sakyo has been enthroned, I don't want to disturb the shogunate's review anymore.
How the legal system in Luozhong will turn out is an internal matter of the shogunate, so I can't say much about it. However, the fate of the Sanhao family is related to revenge for the ancestors.
If the Sanhao family is not conquered, where will the majesty of the shogunate be? Please think again.
Mr. Gongfang, I will take my leave now."
After saying that, Oda Nobunaga turned around and left.
The Ashikaga-hime samurai who just let Hideyoshi go, naturally would not stand in the way of the murderous Oda family governor, and could only watch her leave in style.
Gumi
A group of shogunate warriors watched with their own eyes as Oda Nobunaga slaughtered people in front of the emperor, then patted his buttocks and left, with different expressions on their faces.
Oda Nobunaga said it was for the shogunate to decide on its own without any involvement or interference. But the body of Ise Sada was right in front of the concubines. How could everyone remain indifferent?
Ashikaga Yoshiaki looked ugly, his crotch was unbearably wet, and he said bitterly.
“That’s it for today, we’ll discuss it another day!”
A group of Ji warriors kowtowed to the ground, and the strange feeling in their hearts became more and more intense. The center of the shogunate was becoming less and less majestic.
———
In one day, the whole family of the Ise family, the deacons of the hereditary government who once held a high status among the shogunate, were escorted to the shore of the Kamogawa River.
Ise Sadaki howled that she was wronged and refused to submit, so Hideyoshi Hashiba personally helped her to look decent.
Hideyoshi Hashiba, who had been unable to suppress the wild fire in his heart for a long time, was extremely excited today.
Ise Sada was beheaded at the Nijo Imperial Palace, and his whole family was beheaded on the bank of the Kamogawa River. The blood of more than a hundred people dyed the river running through Kyoto red.
Oda Nobunaga, who was despised by the samurai of Kyoto as a country bumpkin, showed his fangs for the first time and was so frightened that everyone in Kyoto fell into silence.
The central samurai family, which was at home in the shogunate's politics, felt the threat of the Oda family for the first time. Oda Nobunaga didn't seem to care about the rules of the shogunate's game.
The Ise family was of high status and had deep connections within the shogunate. Even if the crime was truly unforgivable, he still had to go through an interrogation process and be given the opportunity to commit seppuku and die with dignity.
However, Oda Nobunaga was so cruel that he killed his whole family without asking whether he was guilty or not, which stung the nerves of all the shogunate samurai.
The streets of Tianjie trampled all the bones of the ministers, and the hearts of the shogunate families may not be without the sorrow of the rabbit dying and the fox dying.
At this time, Hideyoshi Hashiba, who was regarded by the Kyoto samurai family as a vicious dog under Oda Nobunaga's family, was very satisfied with the result.
Unknown to everyone, he satisfied his desire to avenge the one he loved deeply.
———
Looking at the blood-stained bank of the Kamogawa River, Hideyoshi Hashiba scolded his ashigaru to wash away the blood stains and collect the corpses to avoid causing the plague.
On the other hand, he asked Takenaka Shigeharu beside him.
"Hime Takenaka, I don't understand something.
I was really surprised that the main palace rejected the shogunate's deputy general at the Nijo Imperial Palace.
Even if Lord Gongkata gave it reluctantly, with the thirty thousand soldiers of the Oda family on his side, there are many reasons why the general cannot be willful.
If the main palace dares to see blood in front of the imperial court, why should it take advantage of the situation to establish the legal system in Luozhong and assume an important position in the shogunate?
In addition, before going to Luo, you should make suggestions to the main hall and propose strategies to support the bandits and respect themselves. Only by annihilating the three good families can you restrain the shogunate.
Why did the main hall propose to attack the Mihaoshi family in front of the general? Did the main hall change its mind and no longer want to use your strategy?"
Takenaka Shigeharu laughed.
Hashiba Hideyoshi was worried that if Oda Nobunaga gave up the legal system of Rakuchu, her position as the garrison of Kyoto would disappear.
Second, he was afraid that Oda Nobunaga would change his mind and not use Takenaka Shigeharu's strategy, and that he would lose the value of being reused.
Takenaka Shigeharu consoled him.
"Please rest assured, Lord, the palace has a strategy in mind, and her ambitions are lofty and admirable.
I heard that the main hall claims to be Ping's family and Luoyin in front of the emperor, is this possible?"
Hashiba Hideyoshi was stunned and said.
"I left first, and then I heard a lot of things said by others, like this one.
I also can't figure out why the main palace gave up the great opportunity to take over the shogunate.
Thirty thousand soldiers have been out for a long time. Yesterday I saw that Niwa Nagahide came to the capital again, probably for the purpose of withdrawing his troops.
Once the army retreats and the shogunate has no scruples, the general will not be as tolerant towards the main hall as he is today."
Takenaka Shigeharu nodded and said.
"What you are worried about, the palace knows better, but her intentions are bigger.
During the Kamakura shogunate, two generations of Shogun Minamoto Yoritomo died out, and the Taira clan Hojo was in charge of the shogunate. However, it was impossible for the royal family group to accept the Hojo family as the shogunate.
Therefore, the Hojo family welcomed back an heir from the emperor's bloodline and succeeded him as shogun. The real power of the Kamakura shogunate fell into the hands of the Hojo family.
But when the world was in chaos, the Hojo family, which was clinging to the big tree of the Kamakura shogunate, was hindered from all directions, and was finally massacred by Genji.
Today's Ashikaga shogunate is just like the Kamakura shogunate. In the same way, the Genji generals are weak, but in the same way, the powerful ministers are strong.
Do you think that with the arrogance of the main hall, would you be willing to imitate the Hojo family? If you use the name of Genji to rule, you will eventually be overthrown by others using the name of Genji."
Hideyoshi Hashiba nodded thoughtfully.
"Therefore, the main hall claims that the Ping clan is Luoyin and refuses to join the shogunate and participate in politics.
Because, even though she is extremely powerful today, once she borrows the title of Genji, she will end up using the general to control the powerful ministers of the princes. If the title is not correct, the world will not follow her."
Takenaka Shigeharu smiled.
“That’s the truth.
Our grand master has a high spirit. She dares to innovate politics and break the privileges of the samurai family. Does she still care about a deputy general and deputy general given by Genji?
What she wants is to break away from the Minamoto family's Gongyi and create the Oda family's Gongyi."
Hashiba Hideyoshi narrowed his eyes and was shocked by Oda Nobunaga's ambition. Deep in his heart, he had long been disloyal, and could not help but see some strange envy.
Maybe one day, I can also create my own Gongyi system. Yu Shiba Gongyi, or a more dignified name.
Takenaka Shigeharu paused to let Hideyoshi digest the information, and then continued.
"I couldn't guess what the palace was thinking at first, but her attitude at Nijo Imperial Palace today made me finally sure.
She is unwilling to join the shogunate and claims to be the Ping family of Luoyin. This is because she wants to establish a new Gongyi, abandon the shogunate completely, and follow her own path."
Hideyoshi Hashiba said.
“The main hall has lofty aspirations and is indeed worthy of our admiration.
But what should I do? If the legal system in Luozhong is not passed, the defense of Kyoto as my agent must be unstable.
There is also the matter of Sanhao's conquest. Has the palace really changed its mind and had other thoughts?"
Takenaka Shigeharu smiled.
"My lord, don't be anxious. In fact, I can probably guess some of the main hall's thoughts.
You also know that Yamako Shengcheng, a Ji warrior from the Southern Barbarians, is training iron gunners for the main hall and planning specific military strategies for coordinated operations with iron cannons and spears.
I have learned a little bit about this person in the past few days, and she does have some abilities. Do you know what suggestions she made to the main hall?"
Hashiba Hideyoshi shook his head and Takenaka Shigeharu said.
"She hopes that the main hall can occupy Sakai Port."
Hashiba Hideyoshi was stunned and said in confusion.
“The status of Sakai Port is indeed important, but it is the lifeblood of the Miyoshi family.
The Miyoshi family is able to conquer all directions because it obtains a large amount of commercial taxes and transshipment materials through Sakai Port, and it is also able to connect the two territories of Shikoku and Settsu.
If the Oda family takes action against Sakai Port, the Miyoshi family will definitely react strongly.
Why would Shan Kesheng make this proposal to the main hall?"
