Chapter 1245 Light a bigger fire

It turned out that the Ise Sadao Church was not clean during the Kyoto Incident and participated in the killing of Ashikaga Yoshiki.Now, she is helping Ashikaga Yoshiaki to make a plan to deal with Shibo Yoshiyin.

The old and new grudges were settled together, and if Yoshihiro Shiba didn't kill her, the matter would never end.

Ninagawa couldn't help but feel joy in his heart.

Ise Zhen taught this dead mouse to dig holes everywhere, and now it can be regarded as completely reaching a dead end.See how she can escape this time.

The Shiba family has dividends in one hand and a sword in the other.In the future, the shogunate group will never dare to cooperate with Ashikaga Yoshiaki again and trip the Shiba family.

From the standpoint of Ninagawa's own family, if he can take advantage of the Shiba family's offensive to pull down the Ise family and make the Ninagawa family the leader of the shogunate group, it will be a blessing in disguise.

If Ninagawa can be firmly established as the number one of the shogunate group, there will be the support of the Shiba family behind him.Even if Ashikaga Yoshiaki didn't like her, he didn't dare to touch her casually.

Since the Ninagawa family has already clearly stood in line, they have no choice but to follow the rhythm of the Shiba family and take advantage of the situation to strengthen themselves, which is not a loss.

Ninagawa looked at Mitsuhide Akechi. Although this woman was sinister, she understood the rules of the shogunate's game better than the benevolent Shiba Yoshigin.

Cooperating with Akechi Mitsuhide, the Ninagawa family seems to be able to get more benefits.

---

Akechi Mitsuhide and Ninagawa's parents exchanged tea for wine and had a happy chat.

After that, she left and went directly to Shigehide Suzuki's temporary residence in Kyoto.

Shigehide Suzuki went to Los Angeles this time, and it was obvious that he was serving as the guardian of Kiyi Kingdom and participated in the general's succession ceremony.

But in secret, she was also ordered by Shishan Hongan Temple to eliminate the group of missionaries who were preaching underground in Kyoto for Master Xianru.

The Nanban missionaries had already connected with Oda Nobunaga, which made the Tofukuji faction of the Linji Sect very uneasy, so they asked Xiangzong for help and threw the blame out.

Yixiangzong claims to be a guardian of Buddhism, and is a deadly enemy with the Nanman religion.Obviously, the Venerable Master did not refuse, and directly taught this matter to the followers of Yiyi Sect.

Suzuki Shigehide, the leader of the Zaga congregation, was in a dilemma, and under the guidance of Honda Zhengshin, he approached Yoshihiro Shiba, a big imperial court, and hoped that he would come forward to mediate, so as not to make things difficult for himself.

Shiba Yoshigin originally wanted to take advantage of the collusion between the Oda family and the Nanman Sect, and united with the shogunate to put pressure on Oda Nobunaga and take the lead.

Unexpectedly, Ashikaga Yoshiaki and Ise Sadakyo stabbed him in the back first, causing rumors in the castle town and a storm of forced marriage in the review.

At this point, Shiba Yoshigin was already overwhelmed and unable to take care of himself, so he had no time to take care of Suzuki Shigehide's entrustment.

Shigehide Suzuki forcibly suppressed the fanatics of Zahezhong and prevented them from causing trouble in Kyoto. These days are miserable.At this time, Akechi Mitsuhide came to the door.

The two were also old acquaintances, and after the ceremony in the room, Akechi Mitsuhide said bluntly.

"Master Suzuki, I'm very sorry."

Suzuki Shigehide's heart sank, and he said.

"My lord, what the Great Royal Platform promised me."

Akechi Mitsuhide shook his head.

"The Great Royal Terrace is also helpless, there is more than enough heart but not enough strength.

You are in Kyoto these days, so many things should be noticed.Do you think, in the current situation, does the Shiba family still have the power to help you? "

Shigehide Suzuki was speechless, she was not blind, of course she could see clearly.

There are so many weird rumors in the castle town, and the mutual killings between the shogunate and Shibajiaji samurai.Any fool can see that something is wrong.If there is no high-level instruction, the people below dare to do this?
Shigehide Suzuki couldn't help shaking his head.

The shogunate is really unreasonable and self-destructed the Great Wall.What good is it to the general to force the Great Royal Terrace into such a situation?
That general who just came out of the temple just now, really thinks that Wu family politics is so simple?Without the support of the Great Royal Platform, who would take the current shogunate seriously?

Shigehide Suzuki no longer has time to manage the stupid actions of the shogunate, she said with a sad face.

"My lord, I am not afraid of your jokes.

To be honest, I can hardly hold back those fanatics, and they will soon attack the southern barbarians in Kyoto.

Of course I understand the difficulty of Odaisuo.but. .Can you help me think of a way? "

Shigehide Suzuki had the cheek to rely on Shiba's house, after all, Yoshihiro Shiba had promised her.With Sibo Yiyin's reputation, you can't break your promise and get fat, right?
Akechi Mitsuhide laughed, she came to Suzuki Shigehide, of course for another purpose.Suzuki Shigehide took the initiative to ask for help, and she would be able to achieve her goal logically.

She said.

"It's actually not difficult to do, it's just a bit unseemly."

Seeing that Akechi Mitsuhide hesitated to speak, Suzuki Shigehide patted his chest and assured him.

"Don't worry, Mr. Wise, there are only you and me here. If the words come out of your mouth, they will reach my ears. I will never let the third person know."

Akechi Mitsuhide nodded and said in a low voice.

"Since those fanatics can't bear it anymore, why don't you kill those southern barbarians first?"

Suzuki Shigehide couldn't laugh or cry, she just didn't want to do it, but she couldn't suppress the fanatics under her, she had to do it, so she turned to Shiba Yoshiyin for help.

In the end, after going around in a circle, Akechi Mitsuhide still let her do it, so why was she tossing back and forth?

Shigehide Suzuki smiled wryly.

"My lord, don't tease me, I'm really embarrassed."

Akechi Mitsuhide said seriously.

"Master Suzuki, I'm not kidding you.

There are so many Buddhist sects inside and outside of Kyoto, and they all hate the Nanban religion.Those who have the ability to do it, I can just point out a few, such as the Tendai School, the Nichiren School, and the Rinzai School.

If you kill someone and leave, who knows that it was Yi Xiangzong, you did it?Would you still be like those fanatics, yelling around after killing people, showing off your faith and loyalty? "

Akechi Mitsuhide's words awakened the dreamer, and Suzuki Shigehide immediately realized it.

That's right, I just want to get rid of this blame, and I don't want to take credit for it and cover my face to kill people. Who knows I did it?
As long as the southern barbarians were killed, those fanatics would have no target, and they would naturally stop.As long as you don't admit to murder, there are so many suspects in Kyoto, why should you doubt me!

Suzuki Shigehide's dead corner of thinking was opened by Akechi Mitsuhide, and he suddenly felt that the sea and the sky were wide open, and he laughed.

"I've heard for a long time that Mr. Wise is very resourceful. I really learned a lot today. Thank you, Mr. Shigehide Suzuki, for your guidance."

Shigehide Suzuki bowed to thank, Mitsuhide Akechi returned the gift gracefully, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

The purpose of Akechi Mitsuhide coming to Suzuki Shigehide is very simple, to cause some trouble for the Oda family.

The lord went to Tofukuji Temple to seek a compromise with the Oda family.Akechi Mitsuhide will not pin everything on Oda Nobunaga, she needs to add some conflicts between the shogunate and Oda Nobunaga.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki was born in the old sect of the Shingon sect of Kofuku-ji Temple, and after returning to the vulgarity of Shangluo, he received the support of the Tendai sect of Mount Hiei.

These two sects have a great influence on her, especially the Tiantai sect of Mount Hiei, which has a deep relationship with the Ashikaga family.As warriors and sect leaders, the two sides are mutually fulfilling.

Oda Nobunaga is a follower of the Nichiren sect, and colluded with the Nanban sect, acquiescing to the Nanban missionaries to spread the faith in Kyoto.

Whether it is the Nichiren sect or the Nanban sect, they are all thorns in the eyes and flesh of Mount Hiei.

The southern barbarians were protected by the Oda family in Kyoto, and Suzuki Shigehide killed people anonymously in Beijing. Oda Nobunaga must be angry and look for the murderer.

When the time comes, who will take the blame?What would the Hieizan Tendai Sect think?
The conflict between Shiba Yoshigin and Ashikaga Yoshiaki can only be regarded as a struggle for power and profit, and neither side wants the other's life.

But things about religion are different. The Tiantai Sect wished that the Nichiren Sect and the Nanban Sect would be wiped out from this world completely.

Once the Oda family took the lead for the Nanman missionaries, Akechi Mitsuhide didn't even need to fight the fire, and the Tiantai sect himself couldn't help but jump out and take over the scapegoat.

As for Shigehide Suzuki?The order of Shishan Honganji Temple is to kill people, as long as people die, it seems that the Master does not care who killed them.

Shigehide Suzuki patted his ass and ran away. The Kyoto shogunate, the Tendai sect, and the Oda family suspected each other. Who killed it?This is Akechi Mitsuhide's plan.

The Shiba family should keep a low profile and retreat in a low-key manner.But if the Tianzhu operation is to continue, others must not let others look down on the Sibo family, and must kill people in a high-profile manner.

These two things are actually contradictory.

What Mitsuhide Akechi needs is to light a bigger fire.It is used to attract the attention of all parties in Kyoto, to make the high profile of the Siba family less conspicuous, and to cover the strategic contraction of the Siba family.

---

Akechi Mitsuhide came out of Suzuki Shigehide's residence, and did not go back to Shiba's mansion, but came to a dilapidated courtyard in the middle of Kyoto, stopped and waited.

After an unknown amount of time, a figure came out from the back of the courtyard, it was Fujibayashi Muku.

"My lord, you shouldn't have asked me to meet."

Akechi Mitsuhide looked back at Fujibayashi Muku and asked with a smile.

"What? It's not convenient for you?"

Fujibayashi Muku said.

"San Tai Fu has been staring at me recently, looking for my faults and omissions. If she finds out that you have contact with me, she must report to the lord and sue me.

You know, the lord is very sensitive about your affairs now, I can't bear it. "

Akechi Mitsuhide sighed.

"Yeah, I'm a guilty person, so I don't want to be seen by others. Forget it, let's go, and do things for the third prince of the hundred places.

If you work harder today, you will have more meritorious service tomorrow, and you will be promoted to an official position just around the corner. "

Fujibayashi Muku said with a smile.

"My lord, I can't come out for too long, so please stop joking and speak directly."

Seeing the similar smile on Fujibayashi Muku's face, Akechi Mitsuhide couldn't help shaking his head.

This Fujibayashi Muku is much smarter than Fujibayashi Xing, after experiencing the wind and rain, he has become a bit like himself.It's dangerous, but also worth looking forward to.

Akechi Mitsuhide asked.

"Is the secrecy team investigating Takata Yukino's attack? Is there any result?"

Fujibayashi Muku shook his head.

"Those Ji warriors who ambushed Lord Takada Yukino are all missing.

They are all shogunate samurai, and they are familiar with the way in Kyoto. If we can't catch these mice for a while, we won't be able to lock the mastermind behind the scenes.

On the contrary, the source of the rumors that the castle town slandered the Imperial Palace has some clues.

The earliest instigators hid it very deeply, but after the Matsuda family developed their careers by slandering the Odai, many shogunate samurai began to follow suit and spread rumors.

These people are not clean, showing their feet. "

Akechi Mitsuhide nodded and said bluntly.

"Do something for me. Add Akiren Iio, Fujihiro Matsuda, Kiyonobu Ueno, and Harutada Odate to the list of rumor makers. It's best to put their names first."

Fujibayashi Muku shrank his pupils and looked at Akechi Mitsuhide.

The four families of Iio, Matsuda, Ueno, and Odate are old samurai families of the shogunate, with flourishing branches.

Akiren Iio, Fujihiro Matsuda belonged to Bong Gong, Kiyono Ueno, and Harutada Odate belonged to Ping Ding Zhong, and all four were important ministers at the court.

The so-called Fenggong refers to the descendants of the samurai family who inherited the Ashikaga Huizhong. Today's Ashikaga Huizhong is written by Fenggong.

The appraisers are the main participants in the shogunate's deliberations, and they are usually taken by powerful warriors among the shogunate ministers to participate in major affairs of the shogunate.

Fujibayashi Mukuro frowned.

"Odai has authorized Mibu Wolf to kill first and then play, no matter who is involved in the attack on Master Takada Yukino, he will be killed without mercy.

The four families of Iio, Matsuda, Odate, and Ueno have many heirs, and Takeshi Hime joined the security team of the shogunate in all branches of the main family, and even participated in the ambush of Takada Yukino-sama.

We can't find those ambushers, and Mibu Wolf will probably start with the list of rumormongers first, kill them wantonly, and attract those ambushers.

If I put these four people at the top of the list, they will be the first targets of Mibu Wolf's Tenchu. "

Akechi Mitsuhide smiled and said.

"That's right.

By the way, you don't know yet, do you?Last night I had a long talk with Odaisho, and I have already obtained his forgiveness.

Soon after, Odaisho will leave Kyoto, and the Kyoto side will be handed over to me again.Just like before, I will still be in charge of the Shiba family's negotiations with the shogunate. "

Fujibayashi Mukuro's face remained unchanged, but his fingers trembled abruptly, unable to hide his excitement.

She bears the burden of humiliation, and works under the command of the third prince of the hundred places, just waiting for an opportunity to overthrow the three princes of the hundred places and avenge her mother and sister.

She was willing to meet Mitsuhide Akechi because there was a tacit understanding between the two.

Who is Mitsuhide Akechi?The real black hand behind the scenes who planned to kill Ashikaga Yoshiki, almost ruined the poisonous shogunate.

Fujibayashi Muku was willing to be used by her, just to kill the third husband of Baidi.Even if she loses power for a while, Fujibayashi Muku still burns this cold stove silently, optimistic about this terrible Shiba family counselor.

It's just that she didn't expect that Mitsuhide Akechi would be reinstated by Odai so soon.

Fujibayashi Muku's eyes flickered, she also hated Akechi Mitsuhide, because Akechi Mitsuhide set up a trap to harm Fujibayashi Anko.But she still needs Mitsuhide Akechi to deal with the San Taifu of the Hundred Lands, so she chooses to cooperate.

Now, hearing that Mitsuhide Akechi is making a comeback, Fujibayashi Muku is inevitably a little excited, and there is hope for revenge.

Akechi Mitsuhide looked at the self-possessed Fujibayashi Muku and smiled.

"Don't be too happy too.

The third wife of Baidi is a vicious and cunning person. To deal with this kind of person, one must guarantee that one blow will kill her, and she cannot be given a chance to bite back.

She is very careful and cautious, and we have no chance to touch her for the time being. "

Fujibayashi Mukuro sneered.

"I can wait."

Akechi Mitsuhide nodded in satisfaction, as long as Fujibayashi Muku is willing to cooperate.

Mitsuhide Akechi knew exactly what Fujibayashi Muku was thinking.It's nothing more than killing the third prince of Baidi first, and then killing himself.

But as long as the third wife of the Hundred Lands survives for a day, Fujibayashi Muku can be used by her.
