"Let them come over. I'll meet them here."

"Hi!"

———

Ninagawa Prince and his daughter Ninagawa Prince respectfully entered the room and bowed to Yoshibank.

Yiyin asked softly while resting his head on the pillow.

"When did Ninagawa-sama come back to Kyoto?"

Ninagawa said flatteringly.

"I just returned to Kyoto and heard that the Odai had been working so hard for the re-establishment of the shogunate that they had become sick from overwork. I was very flustered.

My daughter and I hurriedly came to say hello and didn’t dare to delay for a moment.”

Yiyin squinted his eyes and looked at the two of them carefully. They were indeed dressed in dusty clothes, and they didn't seem to be fake.

he laughed.

"It's just a little bit cold. The people below are too nervous."

Ninagawa said solemnly.

"What you said, Odaisuo, is wrong. The shogunate is in chaos, and it's all down to you coming back from Kanto to turn the tide and bring order to the chaos.

Your body, worth a thousand pieces of gold, is related to the rise and fall of the shogunate, so your ministers will inevitably be frightened, so you should pay attention to it."

Ninagawa's constant flattery made Yoshigage feel a headache. He had just recovered a little and didn't have the energy to talk nonsense with this shogunate veteran.

So Yiyin asked directly.

"When you came back this time, did you come to my side first?"

Ninagawa Akashi said with a blank expression on his face.

"You are the surviving son of our ancestors, Shuang, and the head of the Ashikaga Shogun family. As a minister, of course I will pay you a visit first when I return to Kyoto.

Is there anyone more noble than you in this capital?"

Seeing her honest face, Yiyin couldn't help but want to praise her for her acting skills and asked leisurely.

"What? The Nijo Imperial Palace doesn't want to go?"

Ninagawa bowed respectfully and said.

"The Imperial Palace represents the Ashikaga Shogun family and is the backbone of the re-establishment of the shogunate. I would like to ask the Imperial Palace to tell me whether I will go to the Nijo Imperial Palace."

Yiyin secretly cursed the old fox.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki of Nijo Imperial Palace was the future Ashikaga shogun, and Ninagawa himself certainly did not want to offend him.

But on the pretext of visiting a doctor, she first came to Shiba's residence to ask for instructions from Yoshigan Shiba, and then went to the Nijo Imperial Palace. Neither Yoshigan Shiba nor Yoshiaki Ashikaga could make a single typo.

Yoshigan narrowed his eyes and said nothing, but Ninagawa himself kowtowed to the ground and said.

"Otai Suo, I don't mean to sit on the fence.

It's just the shogunate and his like who have always been the ministers of the Ashikaga Shogun. I will be loyal to whoever is Lord Kokata. This is the rule.

But Ninagawa's daughter has always been ineffective, and I am also troubled.

Seeing the warrior girls around the Imperial Palace all becoming talented, I felt very itchy. So I made a merciless request, and I hope that the Imperial Palace will grant me permission."

Yoshigage's heart moved, and he stared at Ninagawa Makoto.

"you say."

Ninagawa himself begged.

"I sincerely ask the imperial office to bring my daughter into the Sibo Tongxin group, so that she can follow you, gain some spiritual energy, and learn some skills."

After saying this, Ninagawa bowed deeply, and her daughter also kowtowed to the ground.

Yoshigan looked at their mother and daughter's backs and raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that Ninagawa himself would stand on his side so decisively.

She was right in what she said, the minister was a servant of the Ashikaga Shogun. As long as Ashikaga Yoshiaki succeeded to the throne, she must be loyal to Ashikaga Yoshiaki. This was the rule.

But rules are rules. Haven't the generals of the shogunate been deceived enough by the ministers? The ministers are very skilled in playing soft confrontation.

The shogunate was really pushed into a panic, just look at the Ise Sadato sect who jumped over the wall and stabbed Ashikaga Yoshiki in the back without any hesitation.

In the final analysis, what the shogunate ministers are protecting is the dining table of the shogunate. If the shogunate does not fall, they can continue to eat at this table.

As for the Ashikaga Shogun, he is a living Bodhisattva who is offered in the temple. How many sticks of incense are offered and how many good looks are given, it all depends on whether the Shogun recognizes the nature of the Bodhisattva.

Yiyin said.

"You guys get up first."

Ninagawa and her daughter stood up and looked at Yoshigan.

Yoshigan glanced at Ninagawa's parents behind him, saw her face was embarrassed, and asked about Ninagawa's life.

"Your daughter is not young anymore. She doesn't want to stay at home and inherit the family business, run around with me, and not be afraid of being killed on the battlefield one day?"

Ninagawa Makoyo said.

"It is the fate of the martial arts family to die in battle. If my daughter accidentally wraps her body in horse leather, it will be an inevitable fate and she will have no regrets.

The Ninagawa family is not a famous family, so what kind of wealth does it have? I am not sure how long I can last for a long time.

It would be better to let her serve the imperial office. It would be great if she can earn some military exploits on horseback, lest she become a ronin and starve to death on the streets in the future."

Yiyin shook his head and said.

"Ninagawa-sama is joking. You are the acting official of the government office and an important minister of the shogunate. How could you become a ronin?"

Ninagawa himself sighed.

"At the Imperial Office, the Ninagawa family is originally from the Ise family, and their status and family status are inferior to others. The title of acting official at the administrative office is just a false title.

Lord Ise Sadakyo refused to let me go, so I had no choice but to kill him at the neck, because there was no way out."

Ninagawa's face was desolate, and his tone was indignant, gradually showing his playfulness. Yoshigan smiled slightly, knowing that she was expressing her feelings for him.

The old dog Ise Sadakyo had no way to go and began to bite randomly, just looking for a way to survive.

In order to protect herself, she included Ninagawa himself in the Shiba Yoshigan party and stirred up trouble in public. Yoshigan already knew about this.

But Yoshigami didn't think she could pass the test. The Ise Sadaect colluded with the Miyoshi family to kill Ashikaga Yoshiteru, and it was inevitable to escape the blame.
