Chapter 1251 Retreat
Akechi Mitsuhide said with a sad face.

"Master Gongfang, you have misunderstood the Great Imperial Platform.

Did you know?Takata Yukino is not an ordinary person, she is a vassal sent by the Imperial Palace to the previous generation, she is superb in swordsmanship, and she is also a general's guard.

When Miyoshi went to Luo, Gao Tianyuki was a loyal minister who followed the ancestors to the last moment when he killed the general!

She will bear the burden of humiliation and survive in the world because of the entrustment of her ancestors.The general's golden seal was brought out by Takata Yukino from the rebel siege by risking his life to fight out of Nijo Castle! "

Ashikaga Yoshiaki was taken aback for a moment, his expression a little ugly.

The two seals of General Ashikaga, one is the Royal Sword of the Great General Conquering Barbarians granted by the Imperial Court, and the other is the Japanese King's Gold Seal bestowed by the Emperor Ming.

Takada Yukino risked his life to kill Nijo Castle and bring out the gold seal, which is a great contribution to the shogunate.

Wada Yuomasa said.

"Great work is good work, and faults are faults.

Takada Yukino has made great achievements, and the Shiba family will play the general, and the shogunate will naturally reward her heavily.

But she killed people in the street and broke the law of the shogunate, shouldn't she be punished? "

Akechi Mitsuhide shook his head and explained.

"Master Wada is wrong, Takata Yukino is carrying out the will of the ancestors and serving the shogunate.

Before his death, the ancestors were still thinking about the future of the Odaisho, and bestowed the famous sword Mikazuki Sokon on Takada Yukino, asking her to use this sword to protect the Odaisho.

Rumors raged in the castle town of Kyoto, slandering the festival of Odaisho.Takata Yukino drew his sword to kill people, in order to open up the eyes of the ancestors, there is nothing wrong with it, this is an act of great loyalty and righteousness. "

Wada Yoomasa was taken aback, Ashikaga Yoshiki bestowed a sword before his death is not a secret, it is a good story widely circulated in the shogunate, everyone has heard of it.

But at this time, she couldn't admit it easily.

If it is admitted that Takata Yukino was justified in murdering, then Matsuda of the shogunate's security team deserved to die.

Afterwards, the shogunate security team indulged rumors and slandered the emperor, which was to add to the mistakes.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki indulged in the promotion of the Matsuda family, and Shiba Yoshigin slapped him, but it was in vain.

This reasoning makes sense, but Wada Yoshiaki can't admit it, Ashikaga Yoshiaki can't afford to lose this dignity.

If he admits that he was wrong, how will Ashikaga Yoshiaki order the shogunate in the future?How can people like Wada Yuomasa enjoy the dignity of the shogunate by relying on a general who has been reduced to a joke?
Seeing that Ashikaga Yoshiaki, Wada Yoshimasa, and Niki Yoshimasa refused to take over, Akechi Mitsuhide sneered secretly and said sincerely.

"Da Yutai thought about the kindness and righteousness of the ancestors, and when he became angry for a while, he lost his manners at the council and embarrassed the general.

I ignored the order of confinement and risked my life to come to Kyoto, just to persuade the Imperial Palace to calm down.The Kyoto Incident had severely damaged the shogunate's vitality, and there must be no further civil strife.

In fact, before I arrived in Kyoto, Odaisho already had some regrets.As I said before, Odaisho is a man, and has no intention of getting involved in the power of the shogunate.

He just hated those villains who made rumors and caused troubles, hurt his own reputation, and even hurt the reputation of his predecessors and generals.

Things have come to this, the Great Imperial Palace is also disheartened, and told me to come to Erjo Imperial Palace to see.

I am here this time to make a plea to the General on behalf of the Great Royal Terrace, imploring the General to allow the Great Royal Terrace to return to his residence and become a monk to pray for the ancestors. "

"what?"

All three of them were taken aback, none of them expected that Yoshihito Shiba would back down so thoroughly.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki was filled with emotions, rubbing his sleeves and didn't know what to say.

Shibo Yoshihiro was kind to her, without Shibo Yoshiyin to match her with the golden seal of the imperial sword, her status as a general might not be recognized by the martial arts world.

However, in order to monopolize the glory of Hanoi Minamoto's descendants, she acquiesced in the chaos of Ise Sadao and wanted Shiba Yoshiyin to remarry her, and she felt a little ashamed in her heart.

It's just that her greed for power overshadowed her gratitude.

At this time, when he heard that Shiba Yoshigin was about to withdraw from the shogunate and go back to become a monk to show his innocence, the guilt in Ashikaga Yoshiaki's heart immediately gained the upper hand.

Wada Yuimasa and Niki Yoshimasa on the side were overjoyed, Shiba Yoshigin is really benevolent and righteous!
This matter seems to be provoked by Ise Chakra, but if the general doesn't move, what can Ise Chakra do?In the final analysis, the general is still greedy for profit and does not do personnel affairs.

But Sibo Yiyin actually endured it, and because of that angry slap in the face, he proposed to retire from the mansion and return to the collar, and become a monk to practice, so that the general could save his face.

Didn't Ashikaga Yoshiaki want to monopolize Hanoi Genji's successor status?Yiyin became a monk to give her a step down.

Because of the contradiction intensified by that slap in the face, Yiyin's monk gave in and rounded it up.The general has all the face and face, so what's the trouble?
Wada Yoomasa asked.

"Senseiji, this is not a joke.

The Great Royal Terrace really entrusted you to tell me that he wants to return to his residence and become a monk to practice? "

Akechi Mitsuhide said solemnly.

"Master Wada was just joking, how dare I talk nonsense in front of the general, this is indeed the meaning of the Imperial Palace."

Wada Yoshiaki nodded, and said to Ashikaga Yoshiaki seriously.

"Master Gongfang, I have also heard about the fact that Takata Yukino was bestowed by the ancestors on three days, and it is true."

Since Yoshihiro Shiba gave face so much, Yuimasa Wada immediately admitted the legitimacy of Takada Yukino's murder.As soon as the brand of Xiandai was pulled out, Takada Yukino's Tianzhu was wiped out.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki nodded and said.

"Ise Zhenjiao dares to provoke my relationship with the Odaisho, it is really hateful!

Can I still not trust Odaisho?I must deal with this villain strictly! "

Wada Yuomasa glanced at Akechi Mitsuhide and agreed.

"That's what the general said.

When Ise Zhenjiao leads the evaluators to complete the evaluation of Luozhong's legal system, she will be punished! "

Ashikaga Yoshiaki nodded, Akechi Mitsuhide understood.

This pair of monarchs and ministers are still worried, holding Ise Zhenjiao in their hands, talking about the legal system in Luozhong, but keeping Oda Nobunaga behind.

Akechi Mitsuhide sneered in his heart.

Yesterday, Oda Nobunaga and Shiba Yoshigin met and reached a tacit agreement.The foreign aid Ashikaga Yoshiaki thought was gone.

Akechi Mitsuhide said seemingly indifferently.

"When Ise Zhenjiao will deal with it is of course up to the general to decide.

The Great Royal Platform will leave the capital soon, but Tianzhu will continue to implement it. "

Ashikaga Yoshiaki frowned and asked.

"Odaisho, what does this mean?"

Akechi Mitsuhide helplessly shook his head.

"The rumors in Kyoto have hurt the feelings of the Odaisho towards the ancestors and the reputation of the Asilipo family.

Tianzhu is an act of righteousness by Takada Yukino against those who spread rumors in order to protect the reputation of the Asilipo family.

Takada Yukino's attack made Oyotai furious. This was an extreme provocation by the rumor-mongers against the Zulispo family.

The Odai Office has ordered that Mibu Lang continue to carry out Tenchu, and those who participated in the ambush of Takada Yukino, regardless of their background or background, must die. "

Akechi Mitsuhide said one for the Ashikaga family, leaving Ashikaga Yoshiaki speechless.

At the beginning, Ise Sadakyo's policy was to pour dirty water on Shibo Yoshigin, and then remarry Shibo Yoshigin on the grounds of hurting the Ashikaga family's reputation, and kick him out of Hanoi Genji's descendant.

Now, Akechi Mitsuhide is also holding on to the reputation of the Asilipo family to build momentum.

Now that Ashikaga Yoshiaki has admitted, Takada Yukino's behavior is the will of the ancestors and an act of justice.Then, those who ambushed her were rebels and thieves who were disloyal to the Zulispo family.

For the reputation of the Shiba family and the Ashikaga family, Shiba Yoshigin has every reason to insist on punishing the traitors and safeguarding the dignity of the two families.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki was speechless, looking at Wada Yuimasa.Wada Weizheng frowned slightly and said.

"My lord, you can't persuade the Odaisho. After all, it is the Oda family's army that is in charge of the security of Kyoto now.

Tianzhu's actions are too quiet, and the Oda family may not sit idly by. If there is a misunderstanding and conflict, it will be ugly. "

Wada Yoomasa used Oda Nobunaga to imply that the Shiba family's request should not be too excessive.

Kezhi Mitsuhide smiled slightly and said.

"Odaisho went to Tofuku-ji Temple yesterday and reached an understanding with His Highness Oda.

The Oda family will not obstruct Tenchu, please rest assured Mr. Wada. "

Wada Yoshiaki was startled, and looked at Ashikaga Yoshiaki, who also looked blank.Neither of them even knew that Oda Nobunaga met Shiba Yoshigin yesterday.

This is also yesterday when Oda Nobunaga was angry and issued a ban on Hashiba Hideyoshi.

As a result, Hashiba Hideyoshi was afraid that someone would talk too much and cause trouble, so he simply kept Shiba Yoshigin's visit to Tofuku Temple a secret.

Shiba Yoshigin didn't go to Tofukuji Temple with great fanfare, but the Oda family covered it up afterwards.Ashikaga Yoshiaki didn't know anything about it, and knowing this from Akechi Mitsuhide at this time was even more frightening.

Could it be that Shiba Yoshiyin and Oda Nobunaga reached some kind of insider transaction to keep the Nijo Imperial Palace under wraps?

The more Ashikaga Yoshiaki thought about it, the more frightened she became, she didn't even doubt Akechi Mitsuhide's one-sided words.

Oda Nobunaga actually didn't promise Shiba Yoshihiro anything, it was purely Mitsuhide Akechi's bullshit to scare people.

"Wise Ji, give me a straight line, what exactly does the Great Royal Platform mean?"

Akechi Mitsuhide bowed solemnly.

"Master Gongfang, the Great Imperial Palace has no intention of getting involved in the power of the shogunate, and indeed intends to return to the territory.

However, the dignity of the Shiba family must be maintained, and Tenchu ​​will not stop. "

Yoshiaki Ashikaga frowned.

Shibo Yoshikin's concession was very large, but his request also made Ashikaga Yoshiaki very embarrassed.

In exchange for Siba Yoshiyin's concession, she had to allow the Siba family to continue to punish him, and give a bloody warning to those samurai in the shogunate who offended the Siba family.

The Sibo family is not a soft persimmon, whoever dares to step on the Sibo family to climb high branches will have to pay the price in blood.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki looked at Wada Yuimasa, Wada Yuimasa thought for a while and asked.

"Wise Ji, you also know that since the turmoil last autumn and winter in Kyoto, it can no longer bear any more troubles.

I can understand Odaisho's mood.But in this matter, we still need to maintain a little restraint, so as not to disturb the hearts of the people in Kyoto. "

Akechi Mitsuhide laughed.

"Master Wada, the Odaisho just wants an explanation. The shogunate security team and the people behind it must learn a lesson.

If you are upright, you are not afraid of the shadows slanting, and the Royal Tower does not like to kill indiscriminately. As long as you are not a person with ghosts in your heart, why worry about it.

You should know the character of Odaisuo very well, do you think this is the truth? "

Wada Yuomasa and Akechi Mitsuhide looked at each other and nodded slightly.

In fact, everyone knows in their hearts that the rumors and ambushes are caused by Ashikaga Yoshiaki acquiescing to Ise Zhenjiao.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki will naturally not be held accountable.Those like Wada Yuomasa did not participate.To die is to kill Ise Zhenjiao and those ministers who were used by her as spearmen and wanted to take the shortcut of Nanshan.

Wada Yuimsa was a little relieved, thinking that he had figured out Shiba Yoshiyin's bottom line.Just as Akechi Mitsuhide said, Shiba Yoshihiro is kind and will not kill innocent people indiscriminately, so don't worry too much.

Shiba Yoshigin is willing to leave Kyoto, but he can't leave in a desperate way. That will make the shogunate despise the Siba family and damage the interests of the Shiba family.

Before leaving, it is understandable to use iron and blood to protect the majesty of the Shiba family.

But Yuomasa Wada didn't know that Shiba Yoshiyin was kind, but Akechi Mitsuhide was nothing.

Shiba Yoshigin will not personally manage the specific execution of Tenchu, and Akechi Mitsuhide has already arranged for the people he wants to kill through Fujibayashi Muku.

Mibu Lang and his group were eager to show off, so why would they have so many scruples when it came to wielding knives?The list was given by the secrecy team, and this blame was carried by the three grandparents of the hundred places.

Akechi Mitsuhide was watching the play with a smile on his face, borrowing Mibu Wolf's knife to remove his obstacles in the shogunate, wouldn't it be a pleasure.

Wada Yoshiaki nodded to Ashikaga Yoshiaki, this matter was not a bad thing for them.

The servants of the Ashikaga family were scruples about the favor of the ancestors, and basically no one participated in the rumors that slandered the Odaisho.The target of Tianzhu is mainly the shogunate group headed by Ise Zhenjiao.

Hetian Weizheng didn't care how many people died in the shogunate group, the two sides were not in the same way.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki couldn't control Ise Sadako, even if Ise Sadako were to die, the person who would replace her as the leader of the shogunate group would probably be Ninagawa who turned to Shiba Yoshigin.

That being the case, what do you care about the life and death of the vassals?

Ashikaga Yoshiaki understood, and said to Akechi Mitsuhide.

"I understand what Odaisho means.

The chaos in the shogunate was reborn, and some people dared to slander the ancestors and the Great Imperial Palace. It really needs to be rectified.

I have long intended to clean up the situation, and the Great Royal Platform is willing to do it for me, so I don't have to worry about it anymore. "

Akechi Mitsuhide bowed and thanked.

"My lord's sympathy, I will pass it on to the Great Royal Platform. I believe that the Great Royal Platform will be more than happy to help you."

Ashikaga Yoshiaki saw Akechi Mitsuhide's loyal face, and the more he looked at it, the more pleasing it was.

This Akechi Mitsuhide is worthy of being a loyal minister valued by the ancestors. If she had come forward earlier, she would not have been framed by the Ise Sadao Church and ruined her uncle's relationship with Shiba Yoshigin.

Although the matter was full of twists and turns, at this time, the point that Ashikaga Yoshiaki was most concerned about, the status of Hanoi Genji's descendant, was actually resolved.

Yoshihiko Shiba retired from the mansion and became a monk to practice. If he didn't compete with her for the power of the shogunate, he would naturally not flaunt his status as a descendant of the Hanoi Genji.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki is satisfied, there is nothing to worry about, but he is determined to maintain the relationship with the Shiba family.

She said to Akechi Mitsuhide.

"Wise Ji is loyal and capable, and has the courage to do things. Are you willing to stay in the shogunate and work for me?"

Akechi Mitsuhide raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect the general to have such a deep affection for him.
