Chapter 1096 Introducing Oda into the Room

If Yoshiaki Ashikaga's road to the Echizen Kingdom is smooth, and the Asakura family sends troops to assist Shangluo, then Hosokawa Fujitaka does not have to entangle with the Shiba family.

From the Echizen country to the north of Omi, along the northern bank of Lake Biwa and straight to Kyoto, it is not close to the territory of the Shiba family in the south.

However, the Oda family is determined to go to Nanjinjiang and use Shangluo to seize the territory of the Liujiao family, which cannot avoid the influence of Jinjisibo.

In recent days, the military power of Shiba was in the hands of Maeda Masaki, but Hosokawa Fujitaka couldn't find her.

Because when Shiba Yoshigin left Kinji, he handed over the diplomatic authority of Kinji Shiba to Akechi Mitsuhide.

Although many people inside and outside the Shiba Territory have noticed that Mitsuhide Akechi played a disgraceful role in the Kyoto Incident in recent days.

But on the one hand, there is no evidence, and on the other hand, Yoshigin Shiba is not nearby, and no one has the right to deprive Akechi Mitsuhide of his diplomatic authority.

Hosokawa Fujitaka saw that no matter how upset she was, he could only hold his nose and negotiate with her, and he couldn't get around her.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki said suspiciously.

"Hime Hosokawa, are you sure? The Siba leader has watched us go to Luo recently?"

In recent days, the golden seal of General Ashikaga has been stored in Shiba, and it has been made known to the world, and it has been confirmed by famous samurai.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki and his group went to Luo first without waiting for Shiba Yoshigin to return.This is to cook uncooked rice into rice and forcibly pick and reorganize the peaches of the shogunate.

Hosokawa Fujitaka went to persuade a few words, can those important ministers led by Shiba give up in the past few days?Unrealistic?
Hosokawa Fujitaka couldn't explain clearly to Ashikaga Yoshiaki that Mitsuhide Akechi was nothing.The death of Ashikaga Yoshiki, this person is unclean.

Because if you want to explain clearly, Hosokawa Fujitaka is not clean himself.

At the beginning, she was aware of Akechi Mitsuhide's conspiracy to overthrow Ashikaga Yoshiki, but she persuaded Hosokawa and Mibuchi's two family governors to stand still and watch the chaos in Kyoto, and the general died in battle.

Many people have noticed Akechi Mitsuhide's conspiracy, but few people have seen her viciousness in daring to kill Ashikaga Yoshiki.Now that the general is dead, the scapegoat is too big, who dares to get involved?
If Mitsuhide Akechi and Miyoshi, Rokkaku, and Ise conspired against the party, it would be a scandal that pierced the sky.

Ashikaga Yoshiki's death actually involved Shiba's family.Shiba Yoshigin, the white lotus, turned out to be the mastermind behind the killing of the general!
Outsiders don't care whether Akechi Mitsuhide obeys orders or not, this basin of sewage will definitely be poured on Shiba Yiyin.Hosokawa Fujitaka, who opened his mouth to reveal the matter, will also completely break with the Shiba family.

If she couldn't come up with conclusive evidence, Yoshihiro Shiba would definitely find a way to kill her.How can a red mouth and white teeth wantonly pollute people's innocence.

If she could produce conclusive evidence, Yoshihiro Shiba would kill her even more.Because this would ruin the reputation of the Shiba family, and in the Ashikaga shogunate, there was no place in the guardian system.

Anyway, no matter what the outcome is, the Ashikaga shogunate will experience a major turmoil, which may completely collapse.

Doing so is not in the interests of Hosokawa Mibuchi and his family, let alone Hosokawa Fujitaka himself.What she wanted was a political marriage with Yoshihiko Shiba, not against him.

Whether public or private, Akechi Mitsuhide was suspected of killing the general, and he couldn't make it clear.Don't say there is no evidence, even if there is evidence, it can only be destroyed and buried.

The Ashikaga shogunate couldn't bear the backlash from the Shiba family. All the samurai who ate at this table would not question Shiba Yoshigin's giri, but wanted to maintain his image of loyalty.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki was waiting for Hosokawa Fujitaka's explanation, but Hosokawa Fujitaka was very embarrassed, and finally said reluctantly.

"Recently, the Siba leaders were not united as one. When Shiba Kenshin left the recent few days, he dispersed the power of the family to check and balance.

Akechi Mitsuhide obtained the power of foreign negotiations, including the right to declare war.I don't need to convince Kinji Shiba, I just need to convince Akechi Mitsuhide to remain silent.

Even if Maeda Mashiki has the military command over several Sibo territories, he cannot go to war without authorization.

She had to get diplomatic confirmation from Mitsuhide Akechi and supplies from Nizi Katsuhisa's territory before she could mobilize the army and go out to fight. "

Hosokawa Fujitaka gave a brief introduction to the power structure within the Shiba collar in recent days.Ashikaga Yoshiaki listened thoughtfully and nodded slowly.

"So, we just need to convince Akechi Mitsuhide to lean on our side."

Because of Akechi Mitsuhide's sincere letter of advice, Ashikaga Yoshiaki made up his mind to go out of the temple and return to secular life, and he had the ambition to succeed General Ashikaga.

She had a good impression of Akechi Mitsuhide, thinking that he was a good attendant who was loyal to the former general and had feelings for the Ashikaga shogunate.

She thought about it and said.

"Hime Hosokawa, then please go to Iga country for me.

Tell Mingzhi Guangxiu for me, if she can stop the recent few Sibo leaders from obstructing my Shangluo's succession, I will keep this kindness in my heart.

I am well aware of her loyalty to her ancestors.I hope she can remember her feelings for her ancestors and choose to support me.

After succeeding to the throne, I will definitely reward her generously. "

Hosokawa Fujitaka was dumbfounded.

Akechi Mitsuhide loyal to the ancestors?How did Yoshiaki Ashikaga come to this conclusion?

Ashikaga Yoshiki was obviously murdered to death by Akechi Mitsuhide, a naughty man with a sweet belly and a sword!

Ashikaga Yoshiaki said in surprise seeing Hosokawa Fujitaka's strange expression.

"Hime Hosokawa, did I say something wrong?"

Hosokawa Fujitaka held his breath in his chest, panicked as he couldn't get up or down.

"No, you're right. I'll try my best to convince Mitsuhide Akechi."

Although I don't know why Ashikaga Yoshiaki has such good sense for Akechi Mitsuhide, Hosokawa Fujitaka is powerless to refute her statement.

Could it be that he told her that Ashikaga Yoshiki died under the conspiracy of Akechi Mitsuhide?
Ever since Miyoshi went to Luo, Akechi Mitsuhide has always played the role of a loyal entourage, without revealing any flaws.

If Hosokawa Fujitaka wants to overthrow her character design, he needs to reveal more details, and if he is not careful, he may get himself into the trap.

Although Ashikaga Yoshiaki misunderstood, but the more she explained at this time, the more troublesome it would be. Why not let her misunderstand that Akechi Mitsuhide is loyal to the shogunate and will help them stop the army of Shibaling.

As for Hosokawa Fujitaka going this time, how to convince Akechi Mitsuhide of the truth is not important.

Indoors, the details of specific actions have been perfected little by little, and Yoshiaki Ashikaga is in a good mood.With the initiative of the Oda family, her plan to go to Luo finally ushered in the dawn of dawn.

---

Ashikaga Yoshiaki finalized a new plan in Ichijo Valley City, Echizen Kingdom, and acted quickly.

Yoshiaki Wada and Nagahide Niwa traveled north to Omi to Gifu Castle in the Mino country. On behalf of Yoshiaki Ashikaga, he formally invited Nobunaga Oda to come to Luo.

Raise righteous soldiers, drive away Miyoshi, avenge the tragic death of the previous generals, and support Ashikaga Yoshiaki to become a new generation of Ashikaga generals.

On the other side, Hosokawa Fujitaka went to Iga Country to find Akechi Mitsuhide.

Ever since he withdrew from Kyoto, Akechi Mitsuhide temporarily lived in Niiju Village on the border between Yamashiro State and Iga State, in order to obtain first-hand information about Kyoto.

Fujibayashi Xing was deliberately let go by her, but with Fujibayashi Skull taking over the follow-up, the network of the same group in recent days is still running smoothly, and information is constantly pouring in to Xinju Village.

The arrival of Hosokawa Fujitaka did not surprise Akechi Mitsuhide.She served a cup of tea for Takashi Hosokawa and said with a smile.

"The residence in the village is shabby and poorly greeted, please forgive Hime Hosokawa."

Every time I see Akechi Mitsuhide's hypocrisy of friends reuniting, Hosokawa Fujitaka feels sick to his stomach, it is extremely hypocritical.

she said coldly.

"Master Wise, you don't have to be polite. I'm not here to enjoy, but to be entrusted by others."

Akechi Mitsuhide filled a cup of tea for himself, rubbed his fingers against the side of the cup, and said with a smile.

"Let me guess, is it the entrustment of His Highness Ashikaga Yoshiaki?"

Hosokawa Fujitaka forced a polite smile from the corner of his mouth, and said.

"good."

Akechi Mitsuhide said with a smile.

"Hime Hosokawa is really good.

Not long ago, we had a chat in Duowen Mountain City.You are here on behalf of Hosokawa and Mibuchi's family. In recent days, the concubines of Siba have treated each other with courtesy, showing sincerity to their allies.

Unexpectedly, you went to Sakamoto Castle as soon as you turned around, and connected with those people in private.If you do this, are you worthy of my lord?Are the Hosokawa and Mibuchi families considered allies of the Shiba family? "

Akechi Mitsuhide spoke righteously, but in his heart he was very satisfied with the current situation.

She doesn't care about Ashikaga Yoshiaki, as long as she doesn't fall into the hands of the Miyoshi Ise family in Kyoto, and don't let them stabilize the situation in Kyoto.

Hosokawa Fujitaka is indeed amazing.

She couldn't make a breakthrough at Shiba's house, so she immediately turned to Sakamoto Castle.Join forces with the old Ashikaga party to promote Ashikaga Yoshiaki to Luo.Take the initiative in the matter of reorganizing the shogunate.

It's just that she miscalculated a little.

Hosokawa Fujitaka believes that there can still be a stable Ashikaga shogunate in Kyoto, at least a shogunate that can protect the vested interests of the old shogunate.

However, this is no longer possible.

The death of Ashikaga Yoshiki tore off the last fig leaf of the Ashikaga shogunate.All samurai have more or less realized that troubled times are coming.

Qin lost his deer, and the world chased it.

Shiba Yoshigin couldn't stabilize the shogunate, and Ashikaga Yoshiaki couldn't even stabilize the shogunate.The prestige accumulated by General Ashikaga for two hundred years has been completely dissipated with the death of Ashikaga Yoshiki.

And Hosokawa Fujitaka cooperated with Wada Yuimasa and others to find famous names from outside the region to lead troops to Luo, which is even more an act of luring wolves into the house, which may cause Dong Zhuo's disaster.

Akechi Mitsuhide is looking forward to this very much.

To establish a new order, the old structure must first be swept away.But no matter how rotten the old structure was, Yoshihiro Shiba couldn't do it himself.

Because he is the embodiment of the righteousness of the world, the savior who calms the troubled times, he must be spotless and flawless.

But now, the chaotic world that has lasted for a hundred years is not chaotic enough, and it has not been so chaotic that everyone can't bear it and yearn for peace.

Akechi Mitsuhide needs Hosokawa Fujitaka, Wada Yoomasa, Oda Nobunaga and other careerists in Japan and abroad.Only when they completely shattered the old order was it time for Yoshihiro Shiba to act.

Akechi Mitsuhide knows best how soft-hearted his lord is.If he is allowed to do it by himself, he will definitely patch up this crumbling house and maintain order with his own business.

But this is not the new world Akechi Mitsuhide wants.

The Ashikaga shogunate was inherently deficient, and could only provoke samurai to fight samurai with a balanced hand. In the past two hundred years, when has there been real peace in the world?

Akechi Mitsuhide did not want Shibo Yoshigin to spend his whole life guarding the hopeless Ashikaga shogunate.Shiba Yoshigin should go to establish a new order, a better samurai world.

When she was young, her family was ruined and she wandered in various countries, witnessing the tragedy of the troubled times.Now that I have to meet the Ming Lord, I only hope to find a more stable new regime for the martial arts in the world.

Hosokawa Fujitaka did not understand the ideals of Mitsuhide Akechi. She was born in the Izumi Hosokawa family, the most traditional and famous samurai family. She fought for power and profit all her life to maintain the prosperity of the family business.

The two close friends were destined to take different paths the moment they met Yoshihiko Shiba.Or newborn, or old-fashioned.

Facing Mitsuhide Akechi's accusations, Hosokawa Fujitaka instinctively started to fight back, she said.

"Don't dare.

Compared to the wise-sama who used those dirty tricks in Kyoto to kill General Ashikaga.What do I do? "

Akechi Mitsuhide's face remained unchanged.

"Everything I do is for the benefit of my lord."

Hosokawa Fujitaka snorted and said contemptuously.

"For the benefit of Kenshin? I think it's for going to Kenshin's bed, right?

You, a greedy villain, tried every means to break up Lisbo and join forces, and you still want to shift the responsibility to Kenshin.

Aren't you ashamed? "

Akechi Mitsuhide said with a smile.

"Master Hosokawa's words, I don't understand, what did I do?"

Hosokawa Fujitaka stared at her coldly, and said word by word.

"Mitsuhide Wisdom, if you want people not to know, you have to do nothing. What you have done, you know in your heart.

I am here this time to ask you to stay honestly in Kishiba and don't interfere with His Highness Ashikaga Yoshiaki's grand plan.

If the leader of Shiba has acted aggressively in the past few days, His Highness Ashikaga Yoshiaki's important event will be missed.I can't guarantee that those scandalous things you did will spread to Lord Kenshin's ears. "

Hearing Hosokawa Fujitaka's threat, Akechi Mitsuhide wanted to laugh.What she did was not afraid of being known by others, and quite a few people knew about it.

Not to mention how many outsiders guessed, Nizi Katsuhisa, Takada Yoshino, and Maeda Yoshitoshi all knew it by heart.

As soon as Yoshihiro Shiba comes back, these guys will definitely rush to sue, and blame Mitsuhide Akechi for all the blame caused by the recent chaos.

There is also Fujibayashi Xing who escaped, if she is caught by the third husband of Baidi.What Yoshihiro Shiba knew would be more detailed than others.

Akechi Mitsuhide never thought of hiding Shiba Yoshigin.

Doing is one thing, hiding is another.She can do dirty things for Yoshihiko Shibo that he is inconvenient to do, but she will never deny it and face it calmly.

She covered her mouth and smiled gracefully.

"Hime Hosokawa's threat really scares me."

Hosokawa Fujitaka's face remained unchanged, staring at Akechi Mitsuhide, a stern light flashed in his eyes.

"I know.

Even if Mr. Kenshin knows what you have done, he can only helplessly cover it up for you, because the Shiba family cannot afford this crime.

He does things aboveboard, but he is tired of his family business.For the sake of the Shiba family's reputation, he absolutely cannot admit that the regicide is related to the Shiba family.

He was really tired and helpless. "
