Chapter 1208 Ceremony of Succession

Hosokawa Moto often glanced at the depressed Haruyuki Mibuchi, somewhat worried about this ignorant younger sister, fearing that something bad would happen to her.

So, said.

"Qingyuan, I see that you are not looking well these days, so you will stay in Shenglong Temple City to recuperate for the time being, and let Tengying take care of the Sanyuan family's affairs.

Afterwards, you don't need to participate in the funeral of the ancestors in Shangluo and the succession of the general. Take a good rest for a while. "

Sanyuan Tengying was also worried that her mother would ruin her good deed, so she bowed and said.

"Mother, please cultivate well, and let me take care of the family affairs at ease."

Haruyumi Mibuchi looked at Hosokawa Motocho's serious expression, then at Mibuchi Fujihide who was worried, and finally turned his gaze to Hosokawa Fujitaka who was indifferent and calm, sighed and nodded.

At the beginning, she teamed up with Hosokawa Fujitaka to drive Hosokawa Mototsu from power and place him in Shenglong Temple City for the elderly.Now Hosokawa Moto often uses his way to give back to him, so what can she say?

The power struggle between Hosokawa and Mibuchi's family is much more tender than the bloody internal turmoil of other samurai families.

She also didn't want the trouble to end so badly that everyone had no way out but to compromise.

Seeing Mibuchi Haruhito's embarrassment, Hosokawa Fujitaka felt a faint pleasure of revenge.

Mother, please don't blame me, I am for the good of Hosokawa and Mibuchi's family.You will be happy when I marry Shiba Yoshigin back, right?
After all, you've always treated him like your own child.When I marry him, you will really become a family.

---

Takashi Hosokawa made a small plan, so that Haruto Mibuchi, who didn't want to tear his face, retreated to the second line and was forced to stay in Shenglong Temple City to cultivate.

Although Mototsu Hosokawa and Fujihide Mibuchi did not say so clearly, they were obviously very interested in the price offered by Yoshiaki Ashikaga.

As for Shiba Yoshigin, because of Mibuchi Haruhito's stupid behavior, it was already difficult for the Hosokawa and Mibuchi families to take advantage of it.

Hosokawa Fujitaka just wanted to give Hosokawa Motochang the illusion that he couldn't benefit from the Shiba family.In order to cooperate with Ashikaga Yoshiaki and Ise Sadakyo, force Sibo Yoshiyin to submit and let him marry him.

She didn't really cooperate with Ashikaga Yoshiaki, as long as Shiba Yoshiaki married, she would immediately keep a distance from Ashikaga Yoshiaki and reach a united front with Shiba Yoshiaki again.

Once Ashikaga converges, the local power factions will be closely united and become a pivotal force in the shogunate. Ashikaga Yoshiaki will have to make more compromises.

And Ashikaga Yoshiaki and Ise Zhenjiao are not fools, of course they know the result.Therefore, it is one thing to use Hosokawa Fujitaka, but it is another thing to actually make Hosokawa Shiba join forces.

Just as when the nuclear bomb is on the launch pad, it is the most deterrent time.Hosokawa Fujitaka, who has not yet obtained Shiba Yoshiaki, is Ashikaga Yoshiaki's close ally.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki and Ise Sadako had already known it well, and the day Hosokawa Fujitaka married Shiba Yoshigin was the moment when the alliance between the two parties broke down.

What they need is to take advantage of Hosokawa Fujitaka's lustful and insane impulse.But to really let Fujitaka Hosokawa get his wish, that is another bargaining chip, and we have to discuss the conditions again.

With Sibo Yiyin's current status, no one dared to push him into a corner.Even without the golden seal of the imperial sword, the imperial white flag of Mrs. Hachiman behind him is still righteous.

What's more, Shiba Yoshigin has been invincible and invincible since his debut.Among the shogunate, who can subdue him?

Ashikaga Yoshiaki just wanted to force Yoshigin to give up the title of the Ashikaga shogun, so that he could become the decisive Ashikaga shogun.

But she still hasn't realized that pure status doesn't mean that all concubines submit.As strong as Ashikaga Yoshiki, if he wanted to hold on to the real power of the shogunate, he would die in trouble.

She, the mediocre Ashikaga twins, without Shiba Yoshigin's support, can she have the power of p?Stupid as hell.

In dealing with people, you are not afraid of fools being stupid, but you are afraid of fools being clever.

Although the territory of the Shiba family is not much, the influence of Ishiba Yoshigin on several nearby families has really reached the point where the net is broken, and it is more than enough to overthrow an Ashikaga Yoshiaki.

So from the beginning to the end, Ashikaga Yoshiaki never thought of subduing Shibo Yoshigin, she just wanted to convince others with virtue.Take advantage of Shiba Yoshiyin's benevolent character to bully him, an honest man.

Yoshihiko Shiba is righteous and has a bottom line in his conduct and actions.The bastards in the shogunate rely on themselves without a bottom line, bully Yiyin with a bottom line, and force him to leave by himself.

But they don't know that Giri is just a character design of Yiyin. What really differentiates him from the martial arts in this world is his three views.

In other words, he is not so pure and flawless on the surface.If you make him anxious, he can do anything.

Really desperate, I voted 8 ways. .No, vote for Oda!Men's sex, well, it's here.Once the clothes are taken off, Oda Nobunaga will definitely accept him.

Hosokawa Fujitaka, Ashikaga Yoshiaki, Shiba Yoshigin, the three parties were all calculating, but everyone was half wrong.

And Oda Nobunaga watched these people in the shogunate calculating from a distance, only sneered in his heart.

---

The forces of all parties went to Luoyang, and there was an undercurrent of continuous vertical and horizontal alliances.Time passed day by day, and the re-establishment of the shogunate was advancing step by step.

Under the double pressure of Ashikaga Yoshiaki and Jueshu Master, the Shokokuji School of the Rinzai Sect finally couldn't bear the pressure, and admitted that it held Ashikaga Yoshiki's funeral for Miyoshi's family, which was beyond the bounds of propriety.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki assigned the Tendai Sect to re-hold the funeral for the ancestors, and the Tendai Sect happily took away the remains of the ancestors from the Xiangguo Temple.

After the funeral, Ashikaga Yoshiaki decided to build the pagoda dedicated to the ancestors in Koya Mountain, and the old Shingon sect would chant scriptures and pray for blessings from generation to generation.

The Tiantai sect, which had already suppressed the Linji sect, had no objection to this, and gave Ashikaga Yoshiaki a face.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki used this to show that he did not forget his origin, which moved the old school of Shingon sect in Koyasan very much.

And when Ashikaga Yoshiaki was doing these things on behalf of General Ashikaga's family, Shiba Yoshigin in Shiba's mansion did not make a sound at all, which seemed to acquiesce.

So far, Ashikaga has become famous.

According to the strategy of Ise Zhenjiao, he properly balanced the relationship between the two major sects of Tiantai Sect and Shingon Sect, and won the support of both sides.

And through Yoshihiko Shiba's tacit support, the inevitability of her succession to General Ashikaga was clearly seen inside and outside the shogunate.

After completing Ashikaga Yoshiki's funeral, Ashikaga Yoshiaki finally gained a firm foothold in Kyoto, and really began to prepare for the succession ceremony.

---

Between spring and summer, Ise Zhenjiao took the lead in writing a letter, imploring Ashikaga Yoshiaki to succeed Ashikaga General.

Afterwards, various families of the shogunate wrote letters one after another. At that time, Luoyang paper was expensive, and they only asked Ashikaga Yoshiaki to advance to the throne.

In the end, Shiba Yoshigin sent a letter of petition to the Nijo Imperial Palace.Ashikaga Yoshiaki finally couldn't get rid of the anger of the shogunate. After three requests and three concessions, he was forced to accept everyone's suggestions.

The succession ceremony will be held on an auspicious day by the shogunate, and she will become the fourteenth Ashikaga shogun of the Muromachi shogunate.

---

Yiyin sat on the hall, looking at the long flags flying outside the hall.

This is the Nijo Imperial Palace, and it is Ashikaga Yoshiaki's succession ceremony at this time.

Shogun, whose real name is General Zhengyi.At first, it was a temporary military system established by the Emperor's court to fight against the alien hairy people entrenched in Kanto.

The emperor's court followed the example of the Great General who conquered the barbarians, who was appointed by the Chinese government in mainland China. Because he had the right to recruit subordinate officials and set up the tooth flag for the opening of the government, he was also called the shogun.

Minamoto Yoritomo established the first regime of the samurai family, the Kamakura Shogunate, after the Genpei War.

Since then, the shogun has become another name for the leader of the samurai family, replacing the emperor as the actual ruler of the island country.

Originally, the general who conquered barbarians still needed to be canonized by the emperor's court. Although the Kamakura shogunate held the real power to govern the world, it was still a courtier of the emperor legally.

Until the collapse of the Kamakura shogunate, the establishment of the Muromachi shogunate, the three generations of shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu killed the emperor and his ministers, and the Samurai shogunate became the only orthodox regime in the Japanese archipelago, without any constraints.

Because Ashikaga Yoshimitsu is self-reliant by the Japanese king's legal system granted by the Ming Dynasty, he is called the Japanese king and uses the seal of the Japanese king as his seal.

However, within the Japanese archipelago, General Ashikaga still ruled the world of samurai and suppressed sixty-six countries in the name of the shogun, the pillar of the samurai family, and the elder of Genji.

Therefore, the royal sword bestowed by the emperor on the Great General Zhengyi is still a symbol of the power of the shogun.

After Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, the succession ceremonies of the Ashikaga shoguns of the past dynasties all appeared in a mixed ceremony of the canonization of the Celestial Dynasty and the appointment of officials by Japan.

When General Ashikaga came to power, either the ancestors retired or the ancestors died.But today, Ashikaga Yoshiaki, the new general, is going to take over the Imperial Sword Gold Seal from the previous generation's Imperial Palace.

This is also the reason Ashikaga Yoshiaki has been thinking about kicking Shiba Yoshigin out of the Ashikaga shogunate.

At the ceremony, Shibo Yoshin received the two tokens of the power of General Ashikaga, the Imperial Sword and Gold Seal, from Shiba Yoshin.

In terms of etiquette, Ashikaga Yoshiaki's orthodoxy comes from Shibo Yoshin, who will never be able to get rid of Shibo Yoshin's influence in this life.

The Wu family emphasizes etiquette, and the status is determined, that is, the superiority and inferiority.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki was unwilling to bow his head to Shiba Yoshigin, and Ise Sadakyo just offered a marriage plan, and the two worked hand in hand to play tricks on Shiba Yoshigin.

Yoshigin has not yet realized that the strategy of the shogunate to jointly expel Oda Nobunaga is impossible to realize.

With this naive idea in mind, he is going to hand over the two tokens left to him by Ashikaga Yoshiki to an ungrateful white-eyed wolf today.

At this time, Shiba Yoshigin, who was sitting on the main seat of the main hall, was wearing a white safari coat with a white haori on the outside, and his face was as handsome as a god descending from the earth.

He looked at the ceremony that was unfolding outside the hall, feeling faintly uneasy in his heart.

The people in the shogunate were very naughty, and the chips Yiyin had prepared were stolen one by one without knowing it.

When Yiyin came back to his senses, he realized that he had not received any definite promise at all, and the bargaining chip in his hand had been stolen.

He glanced at the golden seal of the imperial sword on the case. This was a token of protection given to him by Ashikaga Yoshiki, and it was the proof that he occupied the title of General Ashikaga's family.

Today, he even wants to give her this pledge of Ashikaga Yoshiki's affection, and he can't help but feel uneasy.

Is what you are doing right?

Oda Nobunaga hid in Tofuku Temple without any movement, and Oda's army was well-behaved in Beijing, and Qiu did not commit any crimes.The concubines of the shogunate praised Oda Nobunaga as a loyal and virtuous minister.

Yoshiyin was embarrassed to find that now that Oda Nobunaga's evil deeds are not obvious, it is very difficult for him to unite with the shogunate to deal with her, and the shogunate does not understand his worries at all.

Even though he had paid all the chips, all he got were ambiguous answers, and he didn't really achieve his desired goal.

Yiyin suddenly thought of Mitsuhide Akechi, if she were here, what suggestions would she give herself, and what warnings would she give herself?

This vicious and cunning black-bellied woman was the one who killed Yoshiki Ashikaga, and Yoshihiro never wanted to see her again in his life.

But after thinking about it, she is Yiyin's most powerful adviser.Yiyin was able to successfully gain a firm foothold in Jinji and won the [-] stone territory of Jinji Sibo, and she contributed a lot.

When Yoshiyin was in Kanto, he often sighed 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 met Umino Toshiichi in Kanto, who was somewhat similar to Akechi Mitsuhide's intellect.It's a pity that Unino Toshiichi didn't want to leave Sanada Nobushige, so Yoshihiro had no choice but to fulfill this pair of good companions.

Today, above the main hall, Yiyin looked around and suddenly felt that he was being tricked by the concubines of the shogunate, and finally couldn't help but think of Mitsuhide Akechi.

But for Ashikaga Yoshiki who died unjustly, he will never forgive Mitsuhide Akechi in his life, and will never use this poisonous snake with no bottom line again.

no way!

---

Ashikaga Yoshiaki was very excited in his heart, but his face was serious and upright, and he followed the performer to complete the ceremony.

Outside the main hall, there is a Jue Court, which imitates the appearance of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu when he accepted the canonization of the Celestial Dynasty.

The Japanese island nation has always harbored an ambivalence of inferiority and pride in dealing with the heavenly kingdom.

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu overthrew the emperor and established himself as the king's legal system, which obviously came from the Japanese king who was canonized by the Celestial Dynasty.

But internally, in order to take care of the sensitive self-esteem of the islanders, the Ashikaga family has always regarded itself as a shogun, and rarely mentioned the name of the Japanese king.

Everyone understands that the legal order cannot be circumvented, but everyone remains silent at the same time, pretending not to see it, and each of them tacitly understands it.

Compared with Jue Ting, which was set aside and suffered neglect, the Japanese-style long banners hanging on both sides are orderly and awe-inspiring.

Each family set up banners to express their support for the new Ashikaga shogun, and high-ranking samurai armed with small swords entered the side hall opposite the main hall to wait for the summons.

After Ashikaga Yoshiaki accepts the golden seal of the Yujian and formally addresses him as the general who conquers Yi, each family will present a small sword to express their respect and congratulations.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki glanced back at the main hall, Shiba Yoshigin was dressed in white, sitting on the main seat, like a god enshrined in the main hall.

She turned her eyes to the case beside Shiba Yoshiyin, on which was the golden seal of the imperial sword that made her salivate.Then he looked up and saw the imperial white flag of Mrs. Hachiman behind Shiba Yoshigin, and his heart trembled.

The arrow is on the string and has to be sent.

After today, the plan to expel Shiba Yoshiyin will start, whether it means marrying him or marrying him. .He must disappear from the center of the shogunate!

A trace of guilt flashed in Ashikaga Yoshiaki's eyes, and then he became determined.

I am the fourteenth Ashikaga shogun, the pillar of the Samurai family!No one can step on my head and tell me what to do!
nobody!
