Chapter 1194 Nobunaga's Mind(1/2)
From ancient times to the present, what is shouted in propaganda shows what is missing in reality.
The Wu family likes to shout loyalty the most, but unfortunately loyalty is all about words. In the heart, there is no faith and no justice, and it is only about profit.
As a survivor of the ancestors, Yoshigan holds the golden seal of the sword, so he can completely control Ashikaga Yoshiaki, who is eager to succeed to the throne, and strive for more political benefits for the Shiba family.
His impulsive commitment is politically naive, and is tantamount to throwing away the trump card in his hand. Ashikaga Yoshiaki has no constraints, how can Shiba Yoshigan restrain her?
Do you expect Ashikaga Yoshiaki to care about your kindness and do things according to your conscience? Who among those who play politics has such a thing as a conscience? Even if they do, the pain will be over as soon as it happens, how can they still do things for the sake of their conscience?
Of course, Yiyin also understands what everyone in the Hamo clan understands, but it's too late to say anything now.
If there was no Oda Nobunaga watching over him, even if Yoshigage regretted his decision, Ashikaga Yoshiaki would have nothing to do with him. At most, he would be dissatisfied.
But in order to deal with Oda Nobunaga, Yoshigan needed to unite the newly established shogunate and speak unanimously to the outside world. He needed Ashikaga Yoshiaki on his side, so naturally he could not break his promise.
Therefore, now he can only hope that Ashikaga Yoshiaki still has a conscience.
Yoshigan was a little uneasy. He always felt that something was wrong. He had the urge to re-enable Mitsuhide Akechi and let this vixen who was proficient in shogunate politics help him analyze the current situation.
But when he thought that it was Mitsuhide Akechi's conspiracy that killed Ashikaga Yoshiteru, he became itchy with hatred and didn't want to see that woman again.
Yiyin looked at the sky for a long time and said to Kamao clan.
"The things belonging to the Ashikaga Shogun's family were originally loved and given to me by my ancestors.
It's too despicable to threaten her sister with her things, I really can't do it.
I, Yoshihide Shiba, stand upright and believe in justice. I don’t want to owe anything to the Ashikaga Shogun family, and I believe His Highness Yoshiaki will not let me down.
If I really trust the wrong person, I will have to drag you along with me to suffer."
Yiyin's eyes were pure and solid, making Kamao Clan lower his head and secretly sigh in shame.
The Lord is upright in his work and has a broad mind. His unparalleled demeanor makes even Ji Warrior feel ashamed.
Suran Road, Pu Shengshi Township.
"The Lord is righteous and his subjects admire him.
We, the Ji warriors, follow you and we should go through all the obstacles for you, so why bother us?"
Yiyin smiled and patted her shoulder and said.
"I know your loyalty, no need to say more.
Let's go, before going back to Sibo Mansion, I want to visit a place first."
"Hi!"
———
At Tofukuji Temple, Oda Nobunaga felt a little uneasy and paced in the courtyard.
Today is the day that Yoshigan Shiba enters the capital. I wonder how he will teach Ashikaga Yoshiaki who occupies Nijo Imperial Palace without permission?
A Ji warrior hurriedly walked in, bowed and said.
"In the main hall, the people watching the Nijo Palace came back to send a message.
He said that he only stayed at the Imperial Palace for a meal, then left Nijo Imperial Palace, and then went to Xiangokuji Temple. After staying at Xiangokuji Temple for another moment, he returned to Shiba's residence.
There is nothing unusual in Nijo Imperial Palace, everything is calm as usual."
Oda Nobunaga narrowed his eyes.
Shokokuji Temple. The Miyoshi family held a funeral for Ashikaga Yoshiteru at Shokokuji Temple and he was buried there.
Yoshigan Shiba actually acquiesced in Ashikaga Yoshiaki occupying the Nijo Imperial Palace? It is said that Ashikaga Yoshiaki's face resembles Ashikaga Yoshiteru.
Oda Nobunaga couldn't help but groaned, his mind was impetuous.
Doesn't it mean that Ashikaga Yoshiteru has been entangled with Shiba Yoshigan, and the relationship between the two parties is actually Lang Wuqing's concubine's intention? But now it seems that it doesn't seem to be the case.
Oda Nobunaga bared his teeth and licked the corners of his mouth, his mood suddenly became much worse.
At this time, another person broke in outside, yelling and yelling.
"Main Hall! Something happened!"
Oda Nobunaga was in a bad mood. He turned around and saw Hashiba Hideyoshi running in, shouting.
"Why are you making such a fuss! I'm not dead yet! The sky won't fall! Who allowed you to break in without permission!"
Hideyoshi was frightened by Oda Nobunaga's roar.
Seeing the fear on her face, Oda Nobunaga suddenly remembered that he had given Hideyoshi the right to come in at any time. This was because she was temporarily guarding Kyoto and needed emergency notification.
At this time, Oda Nobunaga couldn't slap himself in the face, so he could only snort and walk into the room.
She looked back and saw that Hideyoshi was still cowering in place, not daring to move, and cursed.
"You little monkey, what are you still doing? Get in here!"
Oda Nobunaga quickly walked up to the throne, Hashiba Hideyoshi followed cautiously behind, and bowed to Oda Nobunaga who was sitting on the throne.
Oda Nobunaga impatiently knocked on the tatami in front of him and asked.
"What's all the fuss about?
I've heard that Kyoto is not peaceful these days. If you don't care about what's going on, get out of here!"
Hideyoshi Hashiba complained endlessly that he seemed to have arrived at the wrong time. Why was Oda Nobunaga in such a bad mood today?
But the arrow was on the string and had to be fired. She couldn't help but answer now, so she could only answer cautiously.
"Master Hall, it's not that I don't care, it's just that the warriors of Owari Mikawa have gone too far."
Oda Nobunaga's indifferent way.
"Arrogant and powerful generals can fight but are difficult to control. All you have to do is coordinate among them.
What? Do you still need me to teach you this truth? "
Hideyoshi quickly shook his head and said.
"No, in the main hall, they are really fooling around."
Oda Nobunaga tightened the tip of his pretty nose and said impatiently.
"What big trouble can they cause?"
Oda Nobunaga knew that the Mikawa Princess warrior suddenly became impetuous, causing the Oda family to make a lot of jokes in Kyoto.
Her sense of this matter was the same as that of Shiba Yiyin, which was that it felt strange. They were both foxes of thousands of years, pretending to be strangers from a Chinese studio.
Tokugawa Ieyasu was very cautious, and had always been very strict with his subordinates when he went to Luo. But now that he entered Kyoto, he suddenly became lax and relaxed?
This is not normal!
Oda Nobunaga has not expressed his position all the time, just because he wants to see how Tokugawa Ieyasu will play his cards. This little sister Takechiyo grew up as a hostage since she was a child. She has a tough mind and is able to bend and stretch. She is a character.
Oda Nobunaga was very concerned about taming the Tokugawa family for his own use. Now he is very interested in seeing Tokugawa Ieyasu take action.
Hashiba Hideyoshi didn't know that both His Highnesses Oda Tokugawa were paying attention to Owari Mikawa's Samurai Hime rioting in Kyoto. Only she didn't know the truth and was still worried about her status.
In fact, this matter was out of her control from beginning to end. It was a trial and game between the two His Highnesses.
Therefore, when Hashiba Hideyoshi finally couldn't help but come to cry, Oda Nobunaga didn't care and just wanted to scold her and tell her to get out.
Tokugawa Ieyasu was always cautious in doing things. Even if he had plans to use the Mikawa Princess samurai to cause trouble, he would definitely pay attention to the scale.
What big deal is a fight between Hime Samurai? As long as they don't use weapons and don't see blood, let them have their troubles. Oda Nobunaga wanted to see what other cards Tokugawa Ieyasu could play.
But Hashiba Hideyoshi dared to come, and he also held a trump card. She frowned, pretended to be frightened, and suddenly threw a king bomb.
"The main hall, these people... they... they...
You don’t know that they made trouble in the street today and rushed into the Imperial Palace, causing the Imperial Palace’s mount to stand up in fear.”
Before Hashiba Hideyoshi finished speaking, Oda Nobunaga had already interrupted her, his expression changed greatly and he straightened up.
"What! Is he okay? Was he injured?"
Oda Nobunaga looked frightened and angry, and nervously questioned Hashiba Hideyoshi, but Hideyoshi was shocked, and he quickly answered.
"Don't worry, Grand Palace. The troops and horses on the imperial platform are ruthless and the war horses are frightened. This trivial matter will naturally not cause any problems.
It was because of the kindness of the emperor that he left without any further investigation. But I thought, this can't go on like this.
These rude Ji warriors are getting more and more arrogant. Today they dare to rush into the imperial palace. I can't even imagine what they will do tomorrow."
Oda Nobunaga heard that Yoshihiro was fine, and his heart was slightly relieved.
She recalled the reports from those who had been following him, saying that Ui Gin had visited Nijo Imperial Palace, Shokokuji Temple, and returned to Shiba Mansion. There was no mention of him being injured, so he was probably fine, and she was completely reassured.
After coming back to his senses, Oda Nobunaga frowned, realizing that he was overreacting, and couldn't help but look at Hideyoshi Hashiba.
Hashiba Hideyoshi looked normal and was still talking about the Samurai Hime who was causing trouble in Kyoto. He seemed not to notice his master's overreaction.
Oda Nobunaga nodded and said.
"Indeed, it was a bit too much."
If these rough things hadn't collided with Shiba Yoshigan, Oda Nobunaga wouldn't have bothered to pay attention. Even if the Kyoto samurai family was unlucky and lost face, she wouldn't care.
