Ishida Mitsunari respectfully handed a letter to Kamao clan and handed it to Yoshihiro's desk.
Yoshigan nodded to Kamoujigo. This time Shiba's family was discussing merits and demerits, and he did not give any new rewards to Kamoujigo and Ii Naomasa.
These two girls are still too young, and rash promotions will only bring them jealousy and trouble.
It's better to let them continue to run low-key errands in Tongxinzhong. As long as Yiyin has their interests in mind, there will be times when kindness will be added to kindness.
As Pu Shengshi was a little older, Yiyin simply gave him the privilege of participating in politics, so he could discuss family affairs, just like other important ministers.
Yoshihiro glanced at the letter on the case, but did not pick it up. He just asked Ishida Mitsunari.
"How come the letter Miyoshi Yoshitsugu gave me was sent by you?"
Ishida Mitsunari bowed and said.
"Takada Haruno-sama has allocated money and food, and I have prepared the mid-year dividends from the Shiba Tadashi Fund. I was preparing to return to Shiba for the next few days to announce the announcement. Miyoshi Yasunaga from Sakai Port came to my door.
As you know, the agreement between the shogunate and the Miyoshi family has been torn up long ago. The agreement that the Shinsengumi will be stationed in Sakai Port remains unchanged.
The reason why the Shiba family can continue to exist in Sakai Port is because the Miyoshi family has shares in the Hokurikudo Trading Road. In addition, the Miyoshi family is not willing to completely fall out with the Shiba family.
Miyoshi Yasunaga brought a letter from Miyoshi's family governor and hoped that I could forward it to you. It is not convenient for me to refuse.
I think the Miyoshi family did this to remind you in a subtle way that they are deliberately protecting the Shiba family's privileges in Sakai Port."
Yiyin smiled coldly.
"Reminder? Threatening me, right?
The news that the shogunate was going to unite with the Oda family to conquer Settsu Kingdom must have reached Miyoshi Yoshitsugu, who panicked.
Threatening me with the Hokuriku Road trade route? Oh, if she has the ability to cut off the Hokuriku Road trade route, I will definitely not be the first one to cause trouble for her."
Yiyin’s words are very confident.
There were many powerful samurai families in Miyoshi's family who had invested in the Hokuriku Dou Trading Road, as well as local samurai families in Settsu, and even major religious forces such as the Ichigo clan.
Miyoshi Yoshitsugu dared to take action on the Hokurikudo trade route. Before Yoshigan Shiba jumped in, there had to be a quarrel between Miyoshi's family and Settsu.
In addition, the various forces involved in the Hokuriku Dou trade route on the shogunate side may not have truly cooperated with Ashikaga Yoshiaki's Settsu strategy.
If Miyoshi Yoshitsugu wanted to die and cut off everyone's financial path, everyone would share the same hatred and kill Miyoshi's family first.
If you kill an Ashikaga shogun, everyone may not be willing to fight against the Miyoshi family. But if you touch the cheese that belongs to everyone on the Hokuriku Road trade route, Miyoshi Yoshitsugu is really dead.
Ishida Mitsunari smiled slightly and said.
"Miyoshi Yoshitsugu must not dare. Miyoshi Yasunaga's attitude is very respectful. He just wants to ask you to mediate the dispute between the Miyoshi family and the shogunate.
The three Miyoshi who killed their ancestors have been executed. The Miyoshi family is willing to reach a new agreement with the shogunate. Any conditions can be negotiated. Please take action to deal with it."
Yiyin waved his hand and sneered.
"Yoshitsugi Miyoshi has a beautiful idea."
He killed Yiyin's fiancée and then came to him to help unclog the shogunate. Do you really think he has no temper?
Ishida Mitsunari bowed and shut up and stopped talking, lest the master misunderstand that he was deliberately favoring the Miyoshi family.
She now controls the Spozhong Fund. She only needs to follow the rules and she will have foreseeable prosperity and wealth in the future. Why take risks and do unnecessary things.
If she offends her master, there will be no good fruit to eat from her.
Akechi Mitsuhide, on the other hand, laughed and pointed at the letter on the case.
"My lord, from what I see, Miyoshi Yoshitsugu should know what happened in Kyoto a while ago.
The general and the Oda family teamed up to attack Settsu Country, and she knew she couldn't stop him.
Settsu Country was originally an area under the jurisdiction of the Miyoshi family. Now that all three people are dead, the local samurai's attitude towards the Miyoshi family has become more and more alienated.
Miyoshi Yoshitsugi had no choice but to find another way. She wanted to take advantage of the contradictions within the shogunate to gain a chance for herself.
If my guess is correct, the letter is mostly flattering to you and belittling the general and His Highness Oda, hoping to win your favor, and also expresses the Miyoshi family's support for you."
Yiyin nodded and looked at Ishida Mitsunari.
Ishida Mitsunari shook his head and said.
"I really don't know the content of the letter, but Miyoshi Yasunaga mentioned that Miyoshi Yoshitsugu intends to invite you to Sakai Port to discuss it."
Maeda's eyes widened and he cursed.
"Bold! What is the identity of my master? Is it someone that Miyoshi Yoshitsugu can summon at will?
Let the Lord go to Sakai Port? Why doesn’t she come to Duwenshan Castle to see the Lord?”
Yiyin looked at the letter on the case and smiled.
Miyoshi Yoshitsugu was really ridiculously cowardly. He was obviously begging for her, but he didn't even have the courage to come to Tawen Mountain Castle to see him in person.
Why did Mihao Changqing's first-generation owl choose such a pustular heir?
Of course, it is impossible for Yi Bank to pay attention to Miyoshi Yoshitsugi's unreasonable demands. Miyoshi Yoshitsugu's hesitant attitude is not worthy of Yi Bank's bet.
He asked about other things.
"Why didn't Yangno come with you?"
Ishida Mitsunari thought for a while and hesitated to speak.
"Takada Haruno-sama said that Takada Yukino-sama cannot do without her care for the time being. The time spent traveling to and from Tawenyama Castle is too long, and she cannot leave him.
She has fully entrusted me with the issue of the annuity payment from the Spozhong Fund, and I sincerely ask the Lord to understand her difficulties."
Ishida Mitsunari was not willing to speak ill of Takada Harano. The two had a happy cooperation in Sakai Port and their relationship was relatively harmonious.
But this time, Takada Haruno's actions went too far, and Ishida Mitsunari did not dare to hide anything, lest the master's anger spread to him.
The Hokurikudo trade route in Sakai Port and the Shiba Tadashi Fund are the most important economic policies of the Shiba family.
On the grounds of taking care of Takada Yukino who was lying on the couch, Takada Yoshino dared to refuse Yoshigan's call and not come to Tawen Mountain Castle. This was a grave crime of disobeying the emperor without knowing the seriousness of it.
No matter how important Takada Yukino is, can he be more important than the master? Can he be more important than the continuation of the Shiba family's family business? Takada Harano is confused!
Everyone was silent and looked at the Lord secretly. Yiyin nodded as he should and said.
"I don't know how Yukino's health is, but I also want to go to Sakai Port to see her."
Yiyin's reaction was a bit beyond the expectations of the girls. Maeda couldn't hold it in any longer and said.
"How can the Lord, who has a body of thousands of gold, easily venture into dangerous territory? The shogunate is about to attack the Settsu Kingdom, and the Miyoshi family intends to show their favor to you. The situation is complicated.
If you go to Sakai Port at this time, not only will your safety not be guaranteed, but it may also cause the general in Kyoto to misunderstand, and you may be connected with the Miyoshi family."
Yiyin glanced at the interests in front of him and raised his voice.
"No need to say much, I have my own solution.
I just went to see Yukino. As for Miyoshi Yoshitsugi, I don’t want to pay attention to her."
Maeda had no choice but to bow and bow, and retreated. Mitsuhide Akechi smiled and saw how embarrassed she was, which was very interesting.
In the Lord's heart, Takada Yukino's status is very special. Whether Takada Haruno is arrogant because of her younger sister or taking the opportunity to vent her dissatisfaction, as long as the Lord is willing to tolerate it, no one can persuade her.
Maeda's interests rushed out to dissuade him. In the final analysis, it was the recent adjustments to the wave collar that had just been made, causing subsequent consequences.
This time, the Lord made great efforts to reward and punish the important ministers of Sibo in recent days, but left one obvious strange thing, which was Sibo's prediction.
Originally, there were rumors in the Sibo family that Siba's house was a stepping stone for him to marry into the Sibo family.
It was only after Ashikaga's marriage, when Yoshigan Shiba accepted Ashikaga Yoshiteru's sword and was revered as the imperial court, that this rumor slowly faded away.
This time, Nizi Katsuhisa was heavily rewarded, and Akechi Mitsuhide was heavily punished. The adjustment of the territories of both parties did not involve the Shiba Reservoir, which caused rumors that had gradually subsided to stir up trouble again.
Akechi Mitsuhide's territory was reduced by more than half, but not a single stone was lost from the Shiba Mine he held.
Although Nizi Katsuhisa was in charge of the Shiba Ryosho of Yamanaka Yukimori and Shimakatsu Takeo, the samurai groups in these two territories were still under the names of Yamanaka Yukimori and Shimakatsu Takeo.
Yamanaka Yukimori and Nizi Katsuhisa are as good as wearing a pair of trousers. The Western Samurai Group is one, so we can ignore this.
Let's just talk about the territories and samurai families under the name of Shima Shengmu. Nizi Katsuhisa can only manage them, but he can't touch them because they belong to Shima Shengmu's tribe.
From an outsider's perspective, Shibao has an independent standard of reward and punishment, which does not involve the reward and punishment of Ji Jiji's own merits and demerits.
So, what is the standard of rewards and punishments for Shiba Yue? Is it true, as the rumors say, that it is the key to the relationship with Shiba Yiyin, a candidate for marriage based on the favor of the master?
Ashikaga Yoshiteru is dead, and although Yoshiki Shiba is a monk, he is still young and may return to secular life in the future, leaving heirs for the Shiba family and inheriting the family business.
The concubines have revived their suspicions about the special nature of the Spo Institute, which has made some people look forward to it and made outsiders dare not say anything.
The concubines' speculation that Takada Harano refused to come was based on Shiba's information.
The Takada sisters are both meritorious officials. Takada Haruno opened up the Hokuriku Road trade route. Takada Yukino accompanied Ashikaga Yoshiteru in the Nijo Castle bloody battle until the last moment and brought out the golden seal.
Sibo Yiyin showed great favor to them, but these two people did not get what Sibo expected, and they did not even get the normal rewards and seals. It seemed that the master deliberately ignored them.
Ishida Mitsunari, and even everyone present, had doubts about this, feeling that Takada Yono was looking for an excuse to express dissatisfaction with the master.
Yiyin knew what the ladies were thinking, and he sighed secretly. In his position, he could no longer do things according to personal preferences.
Things were not what the girls thought. Takada Haruno had long planned to use the funds given to the Shiba Tadashi Foundation by the Hokurikudo Trading Route as a base for Shiba.
In other words, the Takada sisters’ Spo’s base is not a territory, but the Spo’s Tadashi Foundation.
Yoshihiro Shiba also acquiesced to this matter, so Takada Haruno would try his best to cooperate with Ishida Mitsunari and work hard to enrich the Shibachu Fund's share of the Hokurikudo trade route.
That little girl pointed to this alternative Spo restaurant and came from behind.
Yiyin ignored them in the reward because the sisters had done too many extraordinary things.
Takada Yono knew about Miyoshi's family going to Luo but did not report it. Takada Yukino ran away without permission and caused chaos in Tenchu.
Although they have made great achievements, their faults are not light either. It can be said that their merits are balanced by their faults.
Yiyin is willing to forgive them and help them wipe their buttocks. But this does not mean that Yiyin has to pamper them and give them more power.
Yukino is in a coma now, so that's fine. Is that a fuel-efficient lamp for Yangno? If it really gives her greater authority, who knows what new tricks she will come up with.
No reward or punishment is also a warning.
It's just that outsiders don't know how noisy these two sisters are, so they start to think wildly and make nonsense of the rumors about Sibo Yiyin's marriage.
Maeda was the most outspoken and stubborn, so he couldn't help but stand up and dissuade Yoshigan from going to Sakai Port to visit Takada Yukino. As a result, Yoshigan was offended and suffered a setback.
What can Yiyin say? What can it explain?
He glanced at Mitsuhide Akechi, who was gloating about his misfortune. The one who really knew the inside story was probably this scheming fox.
Spo's prediction was not that he had a quota for marrying into the family, but that he was the first to occupy the magpie's nest.
Which warrior Ji is attracted by Yiyin and plans to have children with her in the future and make foreign ministers relatives, he will give Sibo information.
Shiba Prefecture is actually buying out the female members of Samurai Hime's branch.
Yiyin is planning to use his own body to expand the sect, and to recruit women and the retainers behind them. As a vassal branch of the Shiba family, of course, he must be given a sufficiently generous territory.
On the one hand, it is to bribe the retainers of the child's mother, on the other hand, the territory will also belong to the family business of the child in the future, and the wealth will not flow to outsiders.
No matter how bastard Akechi Mitsuhide is, there is no way Yoshigan can deprive her of her Shiba Prefecture. Because that territory is not for Akechi Mitsuhide, but for the family fortune of their future child!
Yoshigan can hate Akechi Mitsuhide, but he will never vent his anger on their children. This is his responsibility as a father to his children.
But just because of this, Yoshigami's guilt towards Ashikaga Yoshiteru is getting deeper and deeper. You are sincere, and you will die in peace. I am a shameless green tea, and I am trying to live in this world.
How can it be so embarrassing?
How could Yoshigage have the nerve to talk about this kind of thing and deal with all the concubines? All he could do was let Akechi Mitsuhide snicker secretly, watching Maeda stupidly bump into him and ask for scolding.
When Haruno brought Yukino to Sakai Port, she did intend to take care of her sister personally, and she also missed the sisters because of Yoshigage.
Yiyin understands this little thought.
He is also a normal man with his own feelings. Yukino is in a coma and needs Yangno to sweat with him on the bedside to help him wake up.
Therefore, he must go to Sakai Port!
Yi Gin is going to Kanto soon, and before leaving, he must go to treat Yukino again. There is bright moonlight in front of the bed, and he suspects it is frost on the ground. He raises his head to look at Yangno, and lowers his head to miss Yukino.
Miyoshi Yoshitsugi is a coward, and Yoshigan will not pay attention to her. In recent years, the Shiba leaders misunderstood that the Takada sisters were arrogant and forced Yoshigan to go to Sakai Port. This is also a wild thought.
Since Yiyin has retreated from Maeda's interests, there will naturally be no more thorns in the door to scold him.
he said.
“There are regular sectarian exchange meetings between Nara Kofukuji Temple and Ishiyama Honganji Temple every year.
This time, Master Xianru sent me an invitation letter. I promised to go to Ishiyama Honganji Temple to participate in a Buddhist meeting.
Koyasan also agreed with the statement made by Master Changkaku of Kofukuji Temple and invited me to join the main mountain to serve as the nun.
In addition, I will say hello to the Izumi-Hosokawa family and explain my itinerary."
