Chapter 1054 Dirty things covered up

Maeda Yoshito instinctively felt that something was wrong.

Although she didn't know what kind of medicine was buried in Hosokawa Fujitaka's gourd, she knew that this scapegoat could not be accepted.

Hosokawa Fujitaka said that the Hosokawa Mibuchi family is like the white lotus, and has no responsibility at all. He is really loyal to General Ashikaga!

But how do you think about this, why is something wrong.

The Hosokawa family has territory in Yamashiro Country, and Katsuryuji Castle is not far from Yodo Castle.Miyoshi's family went to Luo, but the Hosokawa family knew nothing?Who are you kidding!
Besides, Kyoto was in chaos, and Fujitaka Hosokawa contacted Niko Katsuhisa immediately.To enter the Yamato Kingdom by way and go to Xingfu Temple to snatch the Ashikaga twin daughters, no matter how you look at it, it was premeditated.

Now Fujitaka Hosokawa has said that he is innocent to the extreme, pinning the blame on Akechi Mitsuhide, with evil intentions in his intention.

Maeda Masaki didn't care about Mitsuhide Akechi being blamed, she even hoped that Mitsuhide Akechi would be trampled to death, so that there would be one less rival in love with Shiba in the future.

But there is a premise, stepping on Akechi Mitsuhide cannot implicate Shiba Yoshiyin!
Hosokawa Fujitaka wanted to explain one by one, saying that the Shiba family seemed to be sorry for the Hosokawa Mibuchi family and let them down.

What does it mean?
The Shiba family is sorry for the two families. Are those two families planning to cut off from the Siba family?Or use this to bargain and let Shibo Yoshihiro take advantage of the benefits to appease the two?
Taking a closer look at Hosokawa Fujitaka's charming face, Maeda Masayoshi's always precise intuition instantly sensed her sinister intentions.

The Ashishiba Confluence was disturbed just now, is Hosokawa Fujitaka going to have another Hosokawa Shiba Confluence?Does this woman want to die?
Maeda Mashiro sneered again and again, and before Akechi Mitsuhide could speak, he came out and turned back.

Hosokawa Fujitaka didn't expect that Akechi Mitsuhide hadn't opened his mouth to explain, but Maeda Masayoshi would speak for her first.

Isn't it said that the relationship between these two people is quite bad in private?Why did Maeda Masayuki speak for Akechi Mitsuhide?

Hosokawa Fujitaka turned his head and realized that he looked at Maeda Yoshiki with unkind eyes.

It turned out to be another toad that wanted to eat swan meat, and the Shiba family made some stupid things that were beyond their control.

Hosokawa Fujitaka twitched the corners of his mouth, and said with a smirk.

"Don't dare, the Shiba family is the head of the local powerful faction, and the Hosokawa Mibuchi family has always followed the lead of the Siba family.

It's just that everything has to be reasonable, and allies are honest with each other, there is nothing wrong with it, right? "

Maeda benefit raised eyebrows, and was about to refute, but Nizi Shengjiu grabbed him.

"Speak less.

The capital is in chaos, and the lord is not here. We need our sincere unity.

Mr. Hosokawa Fujitaka has doubts, so explain it well, don't speak with emotion, it will damage the harmony among the three families. "

Nizi Shengjiu felt depressed, she was the most innocent person in the audience.Kyoto is in chaos, and the three concubines are not clean in front of them. They blame each other just to wash away their own stains.

Akechi Mitsuhide must be behind the scenes, Hosokawa Fujitaka will not save him, as for Maeda benefit. .Nizi Sheng took a long look at her.

This bastard has been secretly helping the Liujiao family to share the pressure since the beginning of spring, dragging the Jiahe people back.Ashikaga Yoshiki's strategy against the Rokkaku family has not been effective for a long time, and behind it is Maeda Masayoshi's tricks.

There is nothing good about these people!

Nizi Shengjiu hated her to death, but she couldn't say anything, and she had to try her best to unite them.

During the Kyoto Incident, the order of the shogunate almost collapsed.The shogunate originally had a stable triangular relationship, with generals, ministers, and local powerful factions.

The general is dead, and the shogunate leads the wolf into the house. If the local power faction splits again, there will be no shogunate without waiting for Shiba Yoshigin to come back!

No matter how depressed Nizi Shengjiu is now, he still wants to protect the alliance of the three families of Siba Hosokawa and Mibuchi from collapsing.

She reluctantly held Maeda Yoshiki back, and cast her eyes on Akechi Mitsuhide who was smiling aside, as if to say, come out and explain, what a joke!
Akechi Mitsuhide really wanted to laugh, she seemed to see two estrous bitches howling at each other, wishing they would fight on the spot, the scene would be good.

It's a pity that Nizi Shengjiu held him back, and Akechi Mitsuhide sighed and had to come out to speak.

"Master Hosokawa Fujitaka, you misunderstood, please allow me to explain.

First of all, I'm sorry that you couldn't get your first thing done.There was news from Xingfu Temple that Master Jueqing had been out of the temple for some time. "

"what!"

Hosokawa Fujitaka looked back at Niko Katsuhisa and asked.

"Master Nizi Shengjiu, you promised me that you would not prevent me from inviting Master Jueqing back."

Nizi Shengjiu smiled bitterly in his heart, she had promised, but Akechi Mitsuhide did it in private, what could she do?Now it's a done deal, and she has to accompany her to take the blame. This day is really unbearable.

She said bravely.

"I also just got the news that Master Jueqing has been traveling for a few days and is not in Xingfu Temple."

Hosokawa Fujitaka doesn't even believe a single fifty-sound, who is Jueqing?She is a door trace of a courtyard, whose door trace will go out to wander casually?
But at this time, the two important ministers of the Shiba family pushed everything. Hosokawa Fujitaka wanted to get angry, but couldn't find any evidence, so he could only curse shamelessly.

She said with a cold face.

"What about the Kyoto incident? How does Akechi Mitsuhide-sama explain it? You also wandered around at that time?"

Akechi Mitsuhide's eyes were red, tears were falling down, and he choked up.

"I am the one who is sorry for the general. I am the one who failed to protect the general. I am guilty!"

When she howled, Hosokawa Fujitaka was stunned. Is Mitsuhide Akechi pleading guilty?

But Akechi Mitsuhide hadn't finished speaking yet, she continued to speak with a heartbroken heart.

"Miyoshi's family went to Luo, along the Yodo River to the east, but there was no response from any family along the way, and I knew nothing about it in Kyoto.

What's even more exasperating is that the Miyoshi family even sent Hideo Matsunaga to meet me in Fushimi Castle for a while.I didn't guard against her, and she led troops to snatch the gate of the city.

Outnumbered and outnumbered, we had to retreat. "

Hosokawa Fujitaka's forehead twitched, Akechi Mitsuhide seemed to be guilty of himself, but in fact he was pushing the blame.

There is Katsuryuji Castle along the Yodo River, which is the territory of the Hosokawa family. This is scolding Hosokawa Fujitaka.

Matsunaga Hideo is even more of a villain, who knows what is going on with Akechi Mitsuhide and her?Anyway, Matsunaga Hideo won Fushimi Castle without bloodshed, this is a fact.

Hosokawa Fujitaka asked with a gloomy expression.

"This is the explanation that Akechi Mitsuhide-sama gave to Hosokawa Mibuchi's family?"

Hosokawa Fujitaka is going to act according to the original plan, anyway, it's Mitsuhide Akechi's fault for blaming her and throwing dirty water on her!

Yoshiki Ashikaga died in Kyoto. Strictly speaking, all the samurai in Kyoto at that time were guilty.Akechi Mitsuhide and Ashikaga Yoshiki gave him the duty of guarding, which is unforgivable.

Akechi Mitsuhide touched his tears and said.

"I tried my best! Master Takata Yukino won't retreat in a bloody battle. I sent someone to rescue the general, but the general refused to leave!

In the end, Lord Gongfang handed over the golden seal to Lord Takata Yukino, and asked her to pass it on to my lord.We were forced to leave by the general, and we left Kyoto with tears in our eyes. "

Akechi Mitsuhide was shameless, and he took the credit of Takada Yukino to himself, and the golden seal given by Ashikaga Yoshiki was even more evidence.

She didn't leave her post without authorization, she was ordered to retreat, how could this be considered a crime?

At this time, Hosokawa Fujitaka's attention was no longer on convicting her, but asked in a voice.

"What did you say? The golden seal? Which golden seal?"

Akechi Mitsuhide said innocently.

"Which other gold seal is there? Of course it is the seal of the Japanese king personally worn by General Ashikaga."

Hosokawa Fujitaka's pupils shrank, and his mind suddenly became confused.

She always thought that Yoshiki Ashikaga died in battle and the gold seal fell into the hands of Miyoshi's family, but she never expected that Takada Yukino would bring it out.

This is troublesome!
Ashikaga Yoshiki had already sent Yujian to Kanto to Shiba Yoshiyin earlier, and set the name of the general's fiancé.Before she died, she entrusted the golden seal again, which is of great significance.

Because of the sudden incident, Ashikaga Yoshiki did not designate an heir.She handed the Imperial Sword Gold Seal to Shibo Yoshiyin, which can be regarded as another kind of will.

Hanoi Genji's descendant, Ashikaga General's family, all died in the chaos in Kyoto.Shiba Yoshigin, as the widow of General Ashikaga, has become the only descendant of the Hanoi Genji family recognized by the world's samurai.

The Ashikaga twins in Kofuku-ji Temple, her identity has never been officially recognized.Even if he succeeds in the future, he will be a weak general with unknown origin and criticized by others.

Who can prove her identity?The Great Imperial Palace?Ashikaga Yoshiki?No proof!The world's martial arts can recognize it or not, depending on the interests, it can be done repeatedly.

But Shiba Yoshigin is different. Although he did not complete the ceremony of becoming a bond with Ashikaga Yoshiki, he has the imperial sword and gold seal awarded by the general, and his status is impeccable.

Except for the direct descendants of Hanoi Genji, no one is qualified to wear the imperial sword and gold seal. General Ashikaga's will is the proof of identity.

Hosokawa Fujitaka's head was sweating, and Akechi Mitsuhide not only cleared up his crimes with a few words.It also disrupted the original strategy planned by the Hosokawa Mibuchi family.

It doesn't matter who gets the Ashikaga twins between the Miyoshi family and the Hosokawa family.

If Shiba Yoshigin, the Ashikaga widow, doesn't admit it, the world's samurai don't have to admit it.So what's the point of holding the Ashikaga twins in your hands?
Hosokawa Fujitaka came in menacingly, one was Ashikaga twin daughters, and the other was to suppress Akechi Mitsuhide.After all, she wanted both power and men.

Now it's good, the bamboo basket fetches water in vain.Akechi Mitsuhide not only washed himself clean, but also led Hosokawa Fujitaka's army.

Akechi Mitsuhide sighed, pretending to be helpless.

"Hime Hosokawa, you and I have known each other since Wei Mo, and I have always regarded you as a close friend.

Miyoshi went to Luo, Kyoto was in chaos, and the Ashikaga family suffered misfortune.You feel bad, and I don't feel good either.

Fortunately, the general left a will before his death, the golden seal is still in our hands, and the situation has not yet gotten out of control.I have sent a quick message to Kanto, please come back to the nearest few days, my lord.

Don't worry, as long as the lord comes back, we have the golden seal of Yujian in our hands, and Miyoshi's family will not be able to turn the sky in Kyoto.

A lord came forward to call on the loyal and righteous people in the world, and Shangluo Jingdu set up a general again, and the shogunate was still the same shogunate.

I also ask Hosokawa and Mibuchi's family to be patient for a while and wait for the return of the lord, what do you think? "

Akechi Mitsuhide's words were sincere, Hosokawa Fujitaka gritted his teeth and scolded his father in his heart.

The name of Shiba Yoshigin's Ashikaga military god is as loud as thunder, and his prestige is extremely high inside and outside the shogunate.If he comes back to get the gold seal, how can others compete with him?
Does Hosokawa Fujitaka want the shogunate to restore peace?What good would it do her to have a new general in the Shiba family?The Hosokawa and Mibuchi families want power!Hosokawa Fujitaka wants the man Shiba Yoshigin!
Miyoshi's family rebelled. In order to gain an advantage in the future game, everyone is desperately grabbing chips.

Who would have thought that Ashikaga Yoshiki, a dead licking dog, licked so hard before he died, that he directly gave Shiba Yoshiyin the title of the descendant of Genji Kawachi!
In this way, what else is there for others?Everyone, sit down obediently, and wait for Yoshihiko Shiba to come back and be his dog?

Hosokawa Fujitaka wants Shiba Yoshigin to be lingering and tactful under her body!She doesn't want to be a licking dog, she wants to be his wife, his woman, the cloud above his head!
Staring fiercely at Akechi Mitsuhide's elegant appearance for a while, Hosokawa Fujitaka snorted and said.

"In that case, I will take my leave first!"

After bowing and saluting, she turned and left.

Time is running out, Hosokawa Fujitaka still has a lot of things to re-plan.It has been a long time since the autumn harvest, and no matter how fast the Shiba family's messenger arrived in Kanto, it would be winter.

The road was blocked by heavy snow in winter, and Yoshihiro Shiba could not return from Kanto immediately.If he wanted to do something, he could only take advantage of the winter before he came back.

Hosokawa Fujitaka will not sit still, and must grab as many chips as possible before Shiba Yoshiyin returns in the spring.She left in a hurry, and the three present fell silent for a while, thinking about gains and losses.

After a while, Nizi Shengjiu asked.

"Did Takada Yukino really bring out the gold seal? Akechihime, why did you tell Hosokawa Fujitaka about this?

We should keep it secret and wait until the Lord returns soon before making a decision, right? "

Akechi Mitsuhide said solemnly.

"The story of the Golden Seal is absolutely true, and we must spread the word immediately for two reasons.

First, if the lord wants to control righteousness, the Shiba family must have a glorious image in this chaos in Kyoto without any stains.

We are the loyal and brave samurai who fought with the general to the end. This is indisputable, and Takata Yukino was seriously injured and lying on the couch as evidence.

Second, the sooner the story of the Golden Seal is spread, the more authentic it will be, and some respected ministers will be arranged to visit and prove it for us.

The past few days have become more and more chaotic, and many people wish to muddle up the water, so that they can fish in troubled waters.While the situation is still relatively clear, we must first stand on the commanding heights of morality.

The golden seal is the last order left by the general to the Shiba family. Everyone recognizes this. Only when the lord returns can he use the golden seal of the royal sword to order the concubines and preside over the overall situation.

Therefore, we must act immediately to announce the glorious image of the Shiba family to the world. "

Katsuhisa Niko and Maeda Yoshihisa watched Akechi Mitsuhide's impassioned speech, and thought silently in their hearts.

The glorious image of the Shiba family was established, and the dirty things Mitsuhide Akechi did were also buried.Even if Yoshihiro Shiba came back to find out the truth, it would be impossible for him to slap himself in the face.

Mitsuhide Akechi could be shameless, but Yoshihiro Shiba couldn't afford it.A moral role model cannot be stained, and Akechi Mitsuhide can only pinch his nose and wipe off the dirty things he has done.

Nizi Shengjiu sighed, and had to admire Akechi Mitsuhide's political wisdom.This concubine should not be close friends, the methods are too dirty.
