Chapter 1207 Ceremony of Succession(2/2)
But when I come back to my senses and think about it, she is Yiyin's most effective adviser. She is indispensable for Yiyin's ability to successfully establish a foothold in Jinji and win the 200,000 stone territory of Jinji Sibo.
When Yoshihiro was in Kanto, he often lamented that if he had brought Akechi Mitsuhide to Kanto, many twists and turns might have been avoided. Although this bastard is bad, he is really powerful.
Originally, he met Umino Riichi in Kanto, and he had a talent similar to that of Akechi Mitsuhide. Unfortunately, Umino Riichi was unwilling to leave Sanada Nobushige, so Yoshigan had no choice but to become a good companion for the monarch and his ministers.
Today, in the main hall, Yoshigami looked around, and suddenly felt that he was being fooled by the shogunate concubines. After all, he couldn't help but think of Akechi Mitsuhide's goodness.
But for the unjust death of Ashikaga Yoshiteru, he will never forgive Akechi Mitsuhide in his life, and will never use this poisonous snake with no bottom line again.
no way!

Ashikaga Yoshiaki was extremely excited in his heart, but his face was serious and upright, and he followed the performer to complete the ceremony meticulously.
Outside the main hall, there is a courtyard, which imitates the appearance of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu when he received the canonization of the Celestial Dynasty. He worshiped in the direction of the capital of the Ming Dynasty and considered his succession to the throne.
The island nation of Japan has always had an ambivalent mentality of inferiority and pride in its treatment of the Celestial Kingdom.
Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's legal tradition of overthrowing the emperor and proclaiming himself king obviously came from the Japanese king who was canonized by the heaven.
But internally, in order to take care of the sensitive self-esteem of the islanders, the Ashikaga family has always regarded themselves as shoguns and rarely mentioned the name of the King of Japan.
Everyone knows that the legal system cannot be circumvented, but everyone remains silent at the same time, pretending not to see it, and each of them understands it tacitly.
Compared to the neglected courtyard set aside, the Japanese-style long flags hung on both sides are orderly and awe-inspiring.
Each family set up banners to express their support for the new Ashikaga shogun. High-ranking samurai armed with kodachi entered the side hall opposite the main hall to wait for the summons.
After Ashikaga Yoshiaki receives the golden seal of the sword and is officially called the General of the Conquest, each family will present a small sword to express their respect and congratulations.
Ashikaga Yoshiaki glanced back at the main hall. Yoshigan Shiba, dressed in white, was sitting on the throne, like a god enshrined in the main hall.
She cast her eyes on the slip of paper beside Shiba Yoshigan, on which was placed the golden seal of the sword that made her salivate. Then she looked up and saw the imperial white flag of Hachiman Taimu behind Shiba Yoshigan, and her heart trembled.
The arrow is on the string and must be fired.
After today, the plan to expel Shiba Yoshigan will be launched. Whether it is to marry him off, or... he must disappear from the center of the shogunate!
A trace of guilt flashed in Ashikaga Yoshiaki's eyes, and then he gathered his determination.
I am the 14th Ashikaga Shogun and the pillar of the samurai family! No one can step on my head or dictate to me!
