Chapter 1039 The burning palace
Outside the Imperial Palace, Song Yongtong was pacing up and down excitedly, asking his cronies.

"How is it? Has the envoy who went in to see him come back? What did the imperial court say?"

The warrior Ji bowed and answered.

"Young master, I just entered, please stay calm and wait for a moment."

Matsunagato nodded, but the impatience in his heart just couldn't be eased.

Today is the day when she will become famous, and after planning for a long time with the lord Miyoshi Yoshihiro, she pointed to the success of going to Luo this time to become a big business.

Thinking of Song Yongxiu, she was always uneasy.You should be very angry if you did such a big thing without telling your mother?But she was also thinking about the Matsunaga family.

The Matsunaga family is a family of three good retainers, the master's family went to Luo to dominate, and his own family went to heaven with chickens and dogs. This is a great thing.

When the dust settles and the family business is prosperous, my mother will definitely not blame me, but will praise me for being young.

Song Yongtong was thinking about his thoughts, and there was a hint of joy in the corner of his mouth.At this moment, a corner surrounding the imperial palace suddenly stirred up.

She looked towards the noise in surprise, but was blocked by the high wall and couldn't see anything, so she gave an order.

"Go and see what happened."

Before she could finish speaking, a warrior Ji came galloping in the distance, fell in front of her, and shouted.

"Young master! It's not good!
I don't know whose military force committed evil nature, was fascinated by the wealth of the imperial palace, became greedy, and even broke into the imperial palace without authorization!

One family made a move, and the others were also moved, and they all entered the imperial palace together! "

Matsunaga was shocked by the news, she blocked in front of the Imperial Palace, and now something happened in the back, that's the direction of the imperial platform!
The general sent Ashikaga Huizhong to Sakamoto Castle, and he took Fenggong to Nijo Castle. There were not many guards in the imperial palace.

Thinking of the local samurai families under his command, their rude and greedy virtues, Song Yongtong was frightened out of his wits and cursed.

"Go! Go and suppress them. They must not be allowed to rush into the palace and disturb the nobles!"

Just as she was yelling and cursing, the commotion in the imperial palace became louder and louder, accompanied by the howling of Warrior Ji and the wailing of the servants.

Matsunagato looked in despair at the inside of the palace, where the flames were ignited.She clearly ordered that she must not attack the Imperial Palace, why?Why did things become like this?

There was a sound of horseshoes from far to near, and Song Yongxiu finally rushed to the imperial palace with his banner.

Seeing the imperial palace on fire, she almost fell off her horse.Song Yongtong rushed up to help her off the horse, and slapped her hard.

"Beast! What have you done! How dare you order an attack on the Imperial Palace! Are you crazy!"

Matsunaga knelt down to his mother with a plop, trembling.

"My lord, it's really not me, I don't.

I clearly ordered all families to restrain the army, I don't know who rushed into the palace out of greed and led all the concubines to defy the prohibition together. "

"Not you?"

Matsunaga Hide detected a hint of conspiracy, which is what she is best at.

She recalled that Akechi Mitsuhide invited her to Fushimi Castle, and Honda Masanobu coaxed her daughter to besiege the Imperial Palace, and then lured her here.

Looking at the burning imperial palace, Matsunaga Hide knew that he had been tightly bound by a big net, and there was no possibility of escape.The only thing to do now is to survive.

she said solemnly.

"Bring loyal and brave confidantes and go in with me. You must protect the imperial platform, and don't let Odaisho and Ashikaga Teru-kun be harassed.

do you understand! "

Matsunagato nodded, calling for his banner to follow, and rushed into the palace with his mother to protect the heirs of General Ashikaga's family.

Royal platform, in the main hall.

Hearing the commotion outside, the male officer fidgeted restlessly, looked at the indifferent Otaisuo, bowed and said.

"Dayudaisuo, do you want to avoid it?"

Da Yutai shook his head and said gently.

"It can't be avoided.

Ever since Yihui started, I knew that sooner or later there would be today.Let the servant boy go to the dining room to get some firewood and straw to pile up here, ready to light the fire. "

The male officer widened his eyes and kowtowed to the ground.

"I don't dare to accept the edict, please think twice! You are a body of ten thousand gold, those people will never dare to disrespect you!
You must never have the idea of ​​committing suicide! "

Da Yutai sighed and said.

"They really didn't intend to harm me, but they would use me to coerce my daughter.

I know Yihui's temperament. Although he is a little bit stronger, he is still filial.Her mother passed away early, and it was me and her who relied on each other to get through these years.

She couldn't bear to see me suffer, she would definitely wrong herself.But with her proud temper, how could she swallow this breath, and she would probably become depressed and sick afterwards.

I have been kicked out of Kyoto once with the previous generals, and now I have to be humiliated with my daughter again?One cannot be shameless.

I have lived enough, I should go down to accompany Xiandai.To be honest, I really miss her these few years and always dream of talking to her.

Don't implicate your daughter, let's go, let's go. "

The voice of the Great Royal Terrace was erratic, and his eyes were looking far away, gradually losing focus.

The male officer wiped his tears and choked up.

"What about His Royal Highness Hui Jun? You can't leave him alone?"

The dilated pupils on the big imperial platform suddenly focused and contracted, looked at the male officer and said.

"Although you and I are called master and servant, we have been inseparable all these years. I have long regarded you as a brother. Before I die, can I ask you one more thing?"

The male officer fell to the ground and wept.

"Please order from the Great Royal Platform."

"Go to Mr. Hui's boudoir to find him, and take him through the secret passage. Remember, neither Mitsuhide Akechi nor Ninagawa can be trusted!
Take Teru-kun to Minami Omi, look for Yoshimasa Wada, Yoshinaki Yoshimasa, there are Maguis from the Ashikaga family in Sakamoto Castle, they will definitely protect you.

How Yihui will compete with those warriors in the future is up to her.I want Mr. Hui to be safe, as long as he is safe, nothing else. "

The male officer burst into tears, reluctant to look at the Imperial Palace.

Da Yutai sighed.

"If you don't leave, I will die. You know I don't care about anything but my children."

the male officer asked.

"The one from Kofukuji... shall we..."

The melancholy expression on the big imperial platform shook his head and said.

"I can't take care of it anymore, I hope she is a lucky child, and she can be auspicious in death, even if I, as a father, feel sorry for her."

Finally, the Great Imperial Palace could not hold back the tears, the male officer gritted his teeth and fell to the ground, bid farewell to the Great Imperial Palace, and hurried out of the hall.

Inside the royal platform, loyal servants moved firewood, grain and grass into the main hall.

On the outskirts, the few Ashikaga Hime samurai in the imperial palace gathered near the imperial platform to block the invading enemy troops.

I don't know who accidentally lit the first fire, and the wooden imperial platform was quickly reduced to a sea of ​​flames, burning all the way and spreading to the entire imperial palace.

Autumn is high and crisp, the wind is dry and the things are dry, and the sky over Kyoto is dyed red by the fire, like a farewell to the house of the declining Ashikaga general.

Ashikaga Teru-kun woke up leisurely, feeling a splitting headache.

"It hurts."

She looked outside in a daze, only seeing the flames soaring towards the sky from the direction of the royal platform, and she woke up in a daze.

"Father!"

Regardless of the dizziness of being knocked out, she struggled to stand up, but found that the clothes on her body didn't fit well, and she was changed into a servant's uniform.
