Chapter seven hundred and sixty third twin girl rumors
Hosokawa Motonsune sighed, thought about it carefully, and said.
"According to Takashi Fuji, Akechi Mitsuhide's target is actually the general. She seems to have unlimited support for the general, but in fact it is impossible to help him accomplish anything.
Therefore, she may not necessarily push our family to a dead end, and she will not be able to explain it to Duke Qianxin when he comes back."
Hosokawa Fujitaka nodded, and Mibuchi Haru next to him looked solemn and mentioned something.
"My sister is right, but there is one strange thing that I can't figure out.
The last time the imperial palace review came out, Akechi Mitsuhide told me about twin girls and also mentioned Kofukuji Ichijoin."
Hosokawa Motonsune was stunned for a moment and then came to his senses.
"How did she know?"
Sanbuchi Haru shook his head.
"I am not sure as well."
Hosokawa Fujitaka didn't know why and asked.
"You two mothers should not be confused. I have been curious for a long time, what exactly is Akechi Mitsuhide talking about?"
Mibuchi Haru glanced at Hosokawa Motonsune, saw her nodding, and then said to her daughter.
"The current sect of Kōfukuji Ichoyin is headed by Jueqing, who is the twin daughter of the general."
Hosokawa Fujitaka was shocked.
"What!"
As soon as she finished speaking, her thoughts started to spin, and she asked urgently.
"The general is a twin? Her sister was not adopted by heaven?"
Twin girls are unlucky. In order to avoid being implicated in bad luck, folk custom has rules to abandon a girl in the wilderness, thinking that God will provide for her and she will be harvested.
Hosokawa Motonsune nodded and whispered.
"This is a secret matter of the Ashikaga family, please don't spread it casually.
At the beginning, when the former general gave birth to twin girls, because the Odai was so distressed for their flesh and blood, they couldn't bear to accept one of them, so they abandoned them outside the Ichijoin of Kofukuji Temple."
Hosokawa Fujitaka understood this deeply.
"This can be regarded as abandoning the wilderness, but it was accidentally picked up by the nun of Kofukuji Temple, right?"
She emphasized the words "accidentally", and Hosokawa Motonsune smiled slightly and said.
"Let's not talk too much about the actions of the Great Imperial Palace. In recent years, he has been close to the Tiantai Sect, but he also deliberately distanced himself to avoid suspicion."
Hosokawa Fujitaka sneered a few times, it couldn't be that simple. The Tendai Sect was really unlucky. They thought they were close to the shogunate, but who knew that the Shingon Sect had climbed to the top a long time ago. Ridiculous, ridiculous!
I just don’t know why Akechi Mitsuhide mentioned this. Did he want to use the ominous twin girls to discredit the general’s prestige?
She thought carefully and suddenly shouted.
"not good!"
Hosokawa Motonsune and Mibuchi Haru were startled by her, while Hosokawa Fujitaka turned blue and gritted his teeth and cursed.
"Akechi Mitsuhide this bastard!
The Ashikaga twin girls are a secret matter of the Ashikaga family. The Shiba clan has been far away from Owari these years, so they must not know the secret in Kyoto.
Although I don’t know where she learned about it, we have been used by her to discuss this matter.
If this matter spreads in Kyoto now, who will the general think spread the word?"
The expressions of the two house governors changed greatly.
There is no airtight wall in the world, and there is no room for malicious speculation. Although the secret conversation between the three people in the inner room was not to spread rumors, the Hosokawa Mibuchi family was indeed being targeted by the general.
Once the rumor of twin girls spreads in Kyoto, will the general think it is the unknowing Shiba family or the Izumi-Hosokawa family who are being tortured?
Hosokawa Fujitaka was so angry that he gritted his teeth.
When Hosokawa Motonsune returned to Kyoto, he did not go to see the general for the first time. Instead, he came to the Mibuchi mansion for a secret meeting.
If a rumor really spreads, the general will send someone to investigate the source. Hosokawa Motonsune's unusual behavior will definitely be regarded as a conspiracy, and the blame for this rumor will most likely be thrown at the Izumi Hosokawa family.
Moreover, the Hosokawa Mibuchi family really knew about this!
Mibuchi Haru was panicking, Hosokawa Motonsune sighed, closed his eyes and said.
"Now that it's here, let's make peace with it, and let's see if there are any true rumors. If there are true... alas... the Hosokawa Mibuchi family will have no choice but to confront the general.
Good means, good means.
I will go to see the general immediately. Even if it cannot be remedied, it must not be confirmed again."
The three of them were speechless for a moment, and Hosokawa Fujitaka clenched his fists.
I hope Akechi Mitsuhide will not do something so cruel as to force the Izumi-Hosokawa family to death.

Afterwards, rumors spread about Ashikaga twin girls in Kyoto, but Kofukuji Temple was not mentioned.
In his own mansion, the deacon of the political office was beaten by Ashikaga Yoshiki until he lay on his back. When Ise Sadakya heard this, a glimmer of light flashed in his numb eyes, as if he recalled something.
Inside the Imperial Palace, General Ashikaga was dining with his father at the Imperial Palace, accompanied by his younger brother Ashikaga Teru-kun.
The Ashikaga family gradually regained its power, and the general Ashikaga Yoshiteru was also in high spirits, no longer depressed as he had been in the past few years.
Her witty remarks made the father and son laugh so hard that they almost lost their composure.
Odai knew that his daughter was in a good mood, so he covered his mouth and laughed for a while. Then, he pointed at Ashikaga Teru-kun and laughed and cursed.
"You are a young man who has not yet left the government, and you are smiling so shamelessly, what do you look like!
If you do this, who would dare to marry you?"
Ashikaga Teru-kun pouted and was about to retort. Ashikaga Yoshiki had already waved his hand and said with a smile.
"Whoever can marry a man from my Ashikaga family will be her blessing.
What? You still dislike my brother? Let me see who dares!"
Ashikaga Teru-kun smiled so hard that he couldn't even see his eyes. The beautiful boy's face was fair and moist, and he spit out a red tongue, looking cute and cute.
The Odai stood there and shook his head, pointed at Ashikaga Yoshiki and said helplessly.
"Just pamper him! There are more and more no rules. How will you serve your wife in the future?"
It is difficult for an upright official to deal with household affairs. If something goes wrong in the future, how can you act like a general and interfere in the private affairs of children in other people's inner courtyards?"
Ashikaga Yoshiteru smiled and said nothing, Ashikaga Teru-kun threw himself into his father's arms and said with a smile.
"Then I won't get married and will stay with my father all my life."
Da Yutai gently patted his forehead and said fondly.
"Silly boy, he always talks stupid things."
Ashikaga Teru-kun pretended to be in pain, covered his head and ran back to his seat, changing the subject and laughing.
"There is a strange rumor in Beijing recently, which is quite interesting."
Da Ootai knew that his son was getting older and was becoming more and more shy about marriage, and he did not want to expose his small calculations. He picked up the chopsticks and prepared to pick up the food, and said with a smile.
"What kind of random rumors are they?
People in Kyoto know how to spread meaningless rumors when they have nothing to do all day long. They should be allowed to go to the countryside to work in the fields. They work too much and have no energy to spread gossip."
Ashikaga Teru-kun answered with a smile.
"This time it was rumored that I have a nose and an eye. It is said that my sister is actually a twin and has a sister."
This was the first time Ashikaga Yoshiteru heard about it. When he saw his younger brother winking, he wanted to make a joke. However, the superior Odaisho dropped the chopsticks in his hand and his expression changed drastically, which immediately made the general feel that something was wrong.
Odaisho looked solemn and said sternly to Ashikaga Teru-kun.
"Where did the rumor come from! Who is spreading it!"
Ashikaga Teru-kun was so frightened that his father had never shown a ferocious look in front of him.
He was so trembling that his speech was unclear.
"No... I don't know... I also... heard what others said..."
