Chapter seven hundred and sixty first Hosokawa Yuan Chang return
Before Wada Weimasa decided to go to Katsuryuji Castle, he first said hello to Mibuchi Haru and Hosokawa Fujitaka.
She walked side by side with the two of them in the imperial palace, thinking that the general would know about this. This was also her statement to the general.
Ashikaga Yoshiki just asked her to go to Shoryuji Castle to visit the resting Hosokawa Motonsune. Then she could say hello to the Mibuchi-Hosokawa family and enter the city so that she wouldn't be locked out. Right?
No matter how exciting this is, at least both sides are easy to explain.
Ashikaga Yoshiteru thought that because Hosokawa Mototsune was forced to rest, he must deeply hate Hosokawa Fujitaka, and he would definitely stand on his side when he came out to do things.
Wada Weimasa disagreed with this. The general was too arrogant. Did he really think that the shogunate's samurai were all dogs at her beck and call?
Hosokawa Mototsune was first the governor of the Izumi Hosokawa family, secondly the mother of Hosokawa Fujitaka, and the sister of Mibuchi Haruto. Finally, she was the minister of Ashikaga Yoshiteru.
In Hosokawa Motonsune's heart, the interests of the Hosokawa Mibuchi family are the most important.
Hosokawa Fujitaka teamed up with Mibuchi Haru to expel her, which really annoyed her. But there was no way Hosokawa Motonsune would accompany Ashikaga Yoshiteru to smash down the fence of his house.
After the Hosokawa clan was exterminated, it was no accident that the Izumi-Hosokawa family could persist to this day and still control Izumi, Peking University and the 200,000 koku territory.
Sibo Yiyin will help her family. That is because her family has value and is worth supporting.
In the same way, would Hosokawa Mototsune put his family in danger in order to take revenge on his sister and daughter because of the general's empty words of solicitation?
impossible.
The words "family business is the most important" are engraved in the bones of the samurai family. Normal samurai warriors will not make wrong choices, not counting the perverts of the Shiba family.
Wada Weimasa wanted to show the general that he would never offend anyone.
Regardless of whether it was the Hosokawa Mibuchi family or the Rokkaku family, she would carry out the general's orders while being sincere and notifying him when he was informed.
Even if the general alienates her for this, she will grit her teeth and fight to the death. She must not follow him to death and let the Wada family isolate themselves from both inside and outside the shogunate.
Even she is not optimistic about the general's actions, which shows how chaotic the shogunate has become, but Ashikaga Yoshiteru can still be satisfied, which is really staggering confidence.
The three of them returned to Sanyuan Mansion and chatted for a while, chatting almost without touching on the affairs within the shogunate.
In extraordinary times, Wada Weimasa would not be too talkative. She came to tell her that she was going to Katsuryuji Castle, and then had a close conversation, just to show that she had no ill intentions towards the Hosokawa Mibuchi family.
No one was in the mood to talk nonsense. After saying a few words, Wada Wei Zheng left.
Hosokawa Fujitaka sent her away, and when he returned to the room, he saw Mibuchi Haru frowning and saying with a smile.
"Mother, don't worry.
The general was so impatient that I had long thought that she might do this. These days, I also thought about asking Hosokawa's mother to return to Beijing to discuss family matters together.
Since the general is so eager, I will write a letter to Shoryuji Castle right now, and after Wada Weimasa meets Hosokawa's mother, I will ask her to return to the capital to take charge of the housework.
The general's will must be obeyed after all. As for Hosokawa's mother, you don't have to worry too much.
The dispute between us is all about the future of the Izumi Hosokawa family. Now that the general is involved, Hosokawa's mother will not want the family business to be messed up by the general.
She will definitely stand on our side, and all these little discords in the family will disappear."
Mibuchi Haru glanced at her daughter and sighed. She and her daughter teamed up to drive Hosokawa Motonsune away. How could she not have any grudges? Hosokawa Fujitaka was comforting her, but she couldn't take it seriously.
It's just that the general is so determined that he has gone too far to interfere in the Izumi-Hosokawa family's housework regardless of the dignity of the Hosokawa-Mibuchi family.
Even though she was angry in her heart, she was powerless in the face of the powerful and aggressive general. At this time, Hosokawa Fujitaka took the initiative to invite Hosokawa Motonsune back, which was a good countermeasure.
On the one hand, he followed the general's wishes to prevent her from pressing forward. On the other hand, he took the initiative to calm down with Hosokawa Motonune, and first stabilized and reached a consensus within himself before he could deal with new turbulence.
But there is still one thing on Mibuchi Haru's mind, which is the twin girls from Kofukuji Ichijoin mentioned by Akechi Mitsuhide.
No, how did she know about this? Very few people know about this. The Mibuchi family is a branch of the fourth generation shogun, and Mibuchi Haru is of Izumi-Hosokawa family descent, so she barely knows anything about it.
This is a huge scandal for the Ashikaga family.
Mibuchi Haru stopped talking, Hosokawa Fujitaka frowned and asked.
"What else is mother worried about? Is it because of what Akechi Mitsuhide said inexplicably before?"
Mibuchi Haru shook his head and answered.
"I don't know what to say about this matter. Let's wait until your mother Hosokawa comes back and talk about it in detail."
She sighed long and short, which aroused Hosokawa Fujitaka's curiosity. But since her mother said so, just endure it for a few days.
———
A few days later, Hosokawa Motonsune, who had been resting in Katsuryuji Castle for a year, returned to Kyoto.
She was supposed to go to the imperial palace to meet the general first, but instead she secretly met her sister Mibuchi Haruhi and her daughter Hosokawa Fujitaka at the Mibuchi mansion.
The three of them sat separately in the tea room. Hosokawa Motonsune had been resting for a year, and his body was plump and his complexion was good.
she asked with a smile.
"How is Fujihide doing lately? Is he doing well in Kitakawachi?"
Hearing that Hosokawa Motonsune had heard about his daughter Mibuchi Fujihide, Mibuchi Haru smiled kindly.
"The child's ability is mediocre, so he is just a diligent person. Sometimes he works too hard, which makes the retainers very embarrassed."
Hosokawa Motonsune held the tea bowl and said with a smile.
"It's a good thing for children to be loyal and diligent. They are better than some people. What's the use of all your smart brains spending on calculating your own people."
After being stabbed by the inspector Motonsune, Hosokawa Fujitaka filled the cup of tea for his mother with a smile. When the hot tea entered the cup, Hosokawa Motonsune couldn't hold the hot bowl and had to put it down.
She glared at her daughter fiercely and cursed.
"You know how to cause trouble for me!"
Hosokawa Fujitaka kowtowed to the ground, sitting on the ground, and apologized repeatedly. Mibuchi Haru was also embarrassed. She also had a share of the credit for expelling Hosokawa Motonsune.
But in this situation, she was the only one to smooth things over, so she had to bite the bullet and say it.
"This kid, Fujitaka, is also doing it for the family business..."
Hosokawa Motonsune looked at his timid sister and became very angry. He pointed at her nose and scolded her.
"For the family fortune? Look at the rebellious girl you gave birth to, who doesn't even care about the family fortune for a man from outside.
You are the same, just follow her crazy. After this year of hard work, have you gained anything?
I'm too lazy to care about this mess, so you can go make trouble on your own. I'll go back to Shengryuji Castle after seeing the general, out of sight and out of mind."
Mibuchi Haru and Hosokawa Fujitaka lowered their heads and listened to Hosokawa Motosune's scolding. When she scolded until her throat started to smoke, Hosokawa Fujitaka obediently handed her the tea in front of Hosokawa Motosune.
Hosokawa Motonsune was stunned, sighed helplessly, took the tea cup and took a sip.
"This tea is really hot."
Hosokawa Fujitaka said with a flattering smile.
"That's right. It's better for mother to come back and take charge, so that it won't be so hot that you can't drink it."
Hosokawa Motonsune looked helplessly at his daughter, a child with nine orifices and a delicate heart. He was so angry that he had already lost his temper. What else could he do now?
Ashikaga Yoshiteru's behavior was too impatient, and Hosokawa Motonsune did not approve of it. The dispute between her, Hosokawa Fujitaka, and Mibuchi Haruka was over the tolerance level of the Hosokawa-Mibuchi system towards the Shiba family.
This contradiction is not worth mentioning compared to the Shogun's drastic measures to revive the Ashikaga family, Ashikaga Yoshiteru, which put the Izumi-Hosokawa family into danger.
Of course, Hosokawa Motonsune would not follow Ashikaga Yoshiteru and go crazy. He could only stand with his sister and daughter who expelled him.
