Chapter 1053 A Simple Good Person

Sure enough, this sentence floated in Changjue and Yinrong's minds at the same time.

Because of Jueqing's ambitions, the two people's previous small calculations had to be overthrown and started again.

If the next Ashikaga shogun returns from the Shingon sect, it will be a great thing for the Shingon sect.The Shingon Sect can finally go to Kyoto to wrestle with the Tiantai Sect.

But the risk of this matter is too great, Changjue looks at Yinrong, hesitant.

Yinrong made a prompt decision and asked.

"Master Jueqing, if you want to return to vulgarity, the Shingon Sect will naturally not stop you. But the road ahead is difficult, have you considered it clearly?"

Changjue understood.

Yinrong was right, if Jueqing was determined to fight for the position of general, the Shingon sect would not be able to stop him.Instead of blocking the grievances, it is better to give her a ride and make a good relationship.

What Xingfu Temple will do depends on Jueqing himself.These three letters are three choices, how will she choose?
Jue Qing said.

"The Miyoshi family is aggressive, and the Hosokawa family hides needles in their mouths. They don't treat me sincerely. In my opinion, Akechi Mitsuhide's words are the most kind."

The two nuns also nodded in agreement with Jueqing's statement.

The attitudes of Miyoshi Hosokawa and the two parties are clearly revealed, they want to hold Jueqing in their hands as a bargaining chip, and they are selfish.

Akechi Mitsuhide told the truth frankly and put forward effective suggestions. She hoped that Jueqing would go to Minami Omi to find Wada Yuimasa and Niki Yoshimasa.

In order to deal with the Rokkaku family, Ashikaga Yoshiki sent Wada Yoomasa to Koka County to negotiate with the Koga people.He also sent Niki Yoshimasa to lead the Ashikaga Muslims to station in Sakamoto Castle to deter Rokkaku Yoshiharu.

The two of them, one in charge of diplomacy and the other in charge of military affairs, are the most trusted ministers of Ashikaga Yoshiki, and Ashikaga Huizhong is the only remaining military force of the Ashikaga family.

But if Fan Jueqing has a little ambition to participate in the politics of the shogunate and seize the position of general, the best choice is of course to firmly grasp the basic situation of these Ashikaga families.

Jueqing read Zhizhi Mitsuhide's letter and felt that he had the possibility of success, which really ignited his ambition to become a man in the world.

Ashikaga Yoshiki is dead, and the imperial palace is burned, but the Ashikaga congregation is still there, and Sakamoto Castle is still there.The Ashikaga family does not have nothing, and there is still an inheritance that can be inherited by Jueqing.

Her choice made Master Changjue feel very good, so she said.

"If you want to go, just go. I will deal with all parties and buy you time."

Yinrong said.

"Master Jueqing's personal safety must be ensured when traveling.

There is a disciple of Baozangyuan named Ke'er Jichang, who has extraordinary spear skills.The Ke'er family is one of Mino's trio, and the retainers of Yoshimichi Inaba.

The Oda family took over the Mino country, and the political situation was unstable.Her mother, Ke'er Jijia, was worried about changes in Mino, so she asked her to temporarily stay in Baozangyuan and not return.

If Master Jueqing doesn't dislike it, I will let Ke'er Jichang protect you to go to Nanjinjiang, which can be regarded as Baozangyuan's dedication to you. "

Jueqing put his palms together in a bow, thanked Yinrong, and said.

"I intend to write a reply letter to Akechi Mitsuhide, and I beg the seat owner to forward it for me.

The South Omi road must pass through Shiba's territory, and I need a reliable person to help me pass. "

Changjue nodded in agreement.

"No problem, I will send the letter to Akechi Mitsuhide as soon as possible, but can you really trust her?"

In the past two years, Tsutsui Junkei has been pressing Kofukuji every step of the way, and Changjue's request to the Shiba family for help is stopped by Akechi Mitsuhide, who is good friends with Tsutsui Junkei.

Nizi Katsuhisa wanted to help Kofukuji, but when Yoshihiro Shiba left for a few days, he gave Mitsuhide the diplomatic power of the Shiba family to Akechi Mitsuhide, and it was inconvenient for her to step in and take over.

Changjue doesn't like Akechi Mitsuhide very much, and hates Shiba Shiba, who speaks honey and has a sword in his belly.

Jueqing thought differently from her, and said.

"I heard that during the general's lifetime, the two most trusted attendants, one was Wada Yoomasa and the other was Akechi Mitsuhide. They often praised their loyalty and praise, and they were role models inside and outside the shogunate.

From the candor of Akechi Mitsuhide's letter, it can be seen that she has indeed lived up to the general's kindness and is a good samurai loyal to the shogunate. "

In addition to the shogunate who have been loyal to the shogunate for generations, the general also often selects some available talents from the retainers of daimyos from all over the country who stayed in Kyoto to participate in the shogunate.

Wada Yoomasa was born in the Minami Omi Rokkaku family. He was once a retainer of Rokkaku Sadayori and also served as a bridge between the shogunate and the Rokkaku family.

Mitsuhide Akechi is similar, he is an important minister sent by the Shiba family to Kyoto, and he is favored and reused by the general.

Theoretically, all the samurai families in the world are the courtiers of the shogun. General Ashikaga often uses his vassals to participate in the affairs of the shogunate, which is also a means of restricting the shogunate.

Jueqing was not surprised that Akechi Mitsuhide showed goodwill towards the Ashikaga family, and even thought that he could try to reuse this loyal vassal in the future.

But Yinrong didn't like it.

She looked at Changjue, then at Jueqing, and she always felt that these Gaoni who chanted scriptures all day long were too simple and regarded the politics of the Wu family as superficial.

Changjue was already in a hurry to deal with Tsutsui Junqing.If it weren't for the unique religious status, she would have been killed by Tsutsui Junqing long ago.

Compared with Changjue, Jueqing is more immature.

This Ichijoin door trace probably thinks that General Ashikaga is some kind of master of the world who promises everything and is expected by everyone.If I go out of the mountain and climb high, will the warriors in all directions shout their allegiance?

If things were that simple, why did Ashikaga Yoshiki die in Nijo Castle?Miyoshi's family went to Luo, and directly touched the capital, but the general didn't know that the water behind it was deep.

The black-bellied and shameless level of samurai politics far exceeds the imagination of these two Gonis who have been worshiping Buddha all the year round.The death of General Ashikaga, the Jingzhong samurai cannot get rid of the responsibility, maybe even a clean one can not be found.

Yinrong shook his head, but still didn't say anything.Jueqing's cheeks are glowing, and his eyes are shining, which is his vision for the future.Pouring a pot of cold water by yourself is not good for the Shingon sect.

Regardless of whether the Ashikaga twins can succeed or not, the Shingon Sect can only speak nice words at this time, and must not advise or dissuade them.In order not to spoil the relationship between the two parties, it is not good for the sect.

The three of them discussed for a while, and Jueqing handwritten a letter to Mingzhi Guangxiu, waiting for her assistance.

---

When Juekyung's letter was delivered to Akechi Mitsusu, she couldn't believe what she saw, and finally couldn't help laughing out loud.

Akechi Mitsuhide called Fujibayashi Muku, gave her the letter, and said with a smile.

"Master Jueqing is indeed a nice person, and I found myself liking her a little bit.

If there were more good people like her in the shogunate, I would be much more relaxed. "

After reading the letter, Fujibayashi Muku also felt that this person was naive.

This master Jueqing actually regarded Zhizhi Guangxiu as a loyal minister because of his sanctimonious advice letter.

She even entrusted Mitsuhide Akechi, a foreign minister, with her itinerary of leaving Kofukuji Temple to Minami Omi, which is unbelievable.

If Fujibayashi Muku came to handle this matter, he would definitely keep it from everyone.Sneaking guards and pretending to be civilians, leaving Xingfu Temple on a mountain trail, the less people who know about it, the better.

Akechi Mitsuhide looked at this Master Jueqing differently. It seemed good that such a wonderful person became the new Ashikaga general.

She said.

"Since Venerable Jueqing thinks that I am a loyal servant of the Ashikaga family, I will not disappoint her expectation.

Leave it to you to help her.Let her pass through Sibo Ling smoothly and arrive at Sakamoto Castle. "

Fujibayashi Muku couldn't laugh or cry, although she didn't know what Akechi Mitsuhide and Fujibayashi Anko had done secretly, but Akechi Mitsuhide was definitely not clean, and this Master Jueqing was totally entrusted to him.

But she would not refuse Mitsuhide Akechi's order, she just asked carefully.

"My lord, do you want to keep this matter from Nizi Shengjiu?"

Akechi Mitsuhide smiled, Fujibayashi Sku is not Fujibayashi Anko after all, he is still very cautious.

"To be honest, if you have any difficulties, you can ask the Yagyu team for help.

I, Mitsuhide, act openly and aboveboard. If Nizi Shengjiu has any doubts, let her ask me directly. "

Nizi Katsuhisa is in charge of the internal affairs of the Sibo Territory for the past few days, Mutsumo Yagyu and his subordinate Yagyu Group are under her control, and affairs in the territory cannot escape the eyes of Mutsuko Yagyu.

If the same group wants to deliberately avoid it, it is not impossible to hide it, but it is not necessary.

Akechi Mitsuhide has received a letter from Niko Katsuhisa, asking her and Maeda Masayuki to meet at Tamon Mountain Castle and receive Hosokawa Fujitaka who is visiting.

This is a grand banquet, and everyone knows that Akechi Mitsuhide is playing tricks.Now that Kyoto is in chaos, Akechi Mitsuhide wants to give an explanation.

It's time to be honest, let's show the cards.

---

Duowen Mountain City is a Siboyi Yinju City built under the supervision of Nizi Shengjiu. It is located in the area of ​​Duowen Mountain.

This is a typical mountain city. Terrace-like earth barriers are dug along the mountain, and then reinforced with stone walls. The Honmaru on the top of the mountain is the core of defense.

When Yoshihiko Shiba ordered the construction, he left Jinji to go to Kanto, and he had not returned until the completion of the mountain castle.

This time, in recent days, the three giants of Siba led the reception of Hosokawa Fujitaka, the representative of Hosokawa and Mibuchi.

Hosokawa Mibuchi and the Shiba family formed the main body of the local power faction in the shogunate, and the status of Hatakeyama Gaozheng, whose power was declining, was getting lower and lower, and it was almost a subsidiary.

Kyoto was in chaos, and everyone knew what Mitsuhide Akechi had done in the middle.But knowing is knowing, on the surface no one is willing to admit that they know.

If they knew that Miyoshi, Liujiao, and Ise were in collusion, which would be detrimental to the general, why didn't they warn the general?To stand on the sidelines is to have evil intentions and rebellion!
Everyone is a loyal minister of the shogunate, who would admit that he was disloyal to the general?That must be a good samurai who didn't know anything and was kept in the dark.

The purpose of this meeting is to define the chaos in Kyoto before Shiba Yoshihiro returns, and let Akechi Mitsuhide be responsible for taking the blame.

Akechi Mitsuhide was well aware of these people's petty thinking, but he sneered at it.

Niko Katsuhisa may be innocent, but he didn't expect Akechi Mitsuhide to kill the general, but Hosokawa Fujitaka and Maeda Yoshihisa really don't know anything?

These two bastards coveted the beauty of the lord, stood by Akechi Mitsuhide's actions, and even contributed to the flames secretly, just to satisfy their own dark desires, it was very shameless.

Really reveal the old truth, who is cleaner than whom?

A few days later, Niko Katsuhisa, Akechi Mitsuhide, and Maeda Masayuki received Hosokawa Fujitaka, a representative of Hosokawa Mibuchi, at the castle tower of Tamonyama Castle.

The two sides fully exchanged views on the Miyoshi rebellion, which enhanced mutual understanding.Concerned about the current situation in Kyoto.

---

I have heard a lot about the mountain city and the castle tower.

The main seat in the hall is vacant, which is a tribute to Yoshihiro Shiba.The third minister of the Shiba family sat on the left, and Hosokawa Fujitaka sat on the right.The two sides retreated to the banners served by the left and right, and could speak freely.

Hosokawa Fujitaka glanced at Akechi Mitsuhide, saw her careless appearance, and sneered in his heart.

This black-bellied girl is really good at playing tricks on all sides.Ashikaga Yoshiki probably didn't figure it out until his death, what was wrong with him?She made a mistake in believing this yin man!

After Hosokawa Fujitaka greeted the three of them, he said bluntly.

"In the Kyoto incident, the general was killed. The two house governors, Mibuchi Hosokawa, were shocked. I came this time mainly for two things.

First, General Ashikaga's family is in trouble, and the family business is about to collapse.

As a family member of the Ashikaga family, my mother hoped that I would take Master Juekei of Kofuku-ji Temple home for protection, in case the Miyoshi family went mad and harmed the orphan of Ashikaga.

Second, Hosokawa Mibuchi and his family have doubts, which need to be answered by Akechi Mitsuhide.

Mr. Gongfang entrusted Fushimi Castle to you for protection. Why was your Fushimi Castle captured by Miyoshi's family without bloodshed on the day Miyoshi went to Luo?

Ninagawa was in charge of the defense of Nijo Castle. Why did her army stay far away in the Tamba territory, leaving General Ashikaga alone to face the Miyoshi army?
Akechi Mitsuhide-sama, can you explain to Hosokawa Mibuchi and his family?
The Shiba family is the head of the local power faction in the shogunate. We respect the Shiba family very much, and please don't let us down with your answer. "

Nizi Katsuhisa was worried, and looked at Mitsuhide Akechi, not knowing how she would justify.

Shiba Yoshigin made outstanding military achievements in the last battle in recent days, and won great benefits for the Hosokawa Mibuchi family during the negotiations.Only the Shiba family can convince the two and become the head of the local power faction.

Shiba Hosokawa Mibuchi Three Clans are the core of the local power faction, if Mitsuhide Akechi doesn't explain well, it will cause a lot of trouble.

What Hosokawa Fujitaka wants is that Akechi Mitsuhide can't answer well, no matter how Akechi Mitsuhide quibbles, Hosokawa Fujitaka will not let her pass the test.

Although the general's death was brought about by everyone's joint efforts, everyone hopes that they are innocent and clean.

The filth of the Miyoshi family and the Ise family cannot be washed clean, and the other families are more or less involved in it, at least it is a crime of ignoring death, but everyone wants to wash themselves into a pure little white rabbit.

how to wash?That is to accuse others of being bastards first.As long as he can swear loudly, he must be a good person.

In addition, Hosokawa Fujitaka also has a little selfishness.

The general is dead, and Akechi Mitsuhide cannot get away with it, so how will Shibo Yoshihiro appease the local powerful faction when he comes back?

The three groups of Shiba Hosokawa and Mibuchi moved forward and retreated together, which was based on the stability of the shogunate.Now that the general is gone and the shogunate is in chaos, the conditions negotiated before are no longer applicable.

If Shiba Yoshigin wants to stabilize the Hosokawa Mibuchi family, he has to show sincerity.Since the general is not blessed with a short life, shouldn't Shiba Yoshigin also consider others, such as Hosokawa Fujitaka?
Political marriages of the samurai family were a common occurrence, and the future of the shogunate was uncertain, so it was understandable for local powerful factions to marry for self-protection.

Hosokawa Fujitaka was thinking carefully, and before Akechi Mitsuhide could speak, Maeda Mashiro who was next to him had already sensed something was wrong.

She snorted and said.

"Master Hosokawa Fujitaka, are you here to question the teacher this time?"
