Chapter 1354 Oda Nobunaga goes to Luo again

The samurai family puts the most emphasis on the family business, and for the sake of the continuation of the family business, life and death can be ignored.

This is easy to say, but it is human instinct to be afraid of death, who would not want to live without dying?
However, the family business is the dining table for all Ji warriors under the entire family name to eat. Compared with the importance of the continuation of the family business, the family supervisor is a p.

Sometimes you can’t do it if you don’t want to die, you don’t want to be decent, and sometimes people help you to be decent.

Before reaching Kyoto, Wada Yuimsa accused General Ashikaga of Mibuchi Fujihide's evil deeds.A slap from Oda Nobunaga had already been slapped hard, making her wake up.

The Wada family's fate today is because Wada Yuimasa and Ashikaga Yoshiaki got too close, which affected his family business.

Hetian Weizheng instinctively had to stop, not daring to go to Beijing for help.She stopped halfway, and drank a few sips of sake in frustration, and there were already strange movements outside the house.

With a calm face, she said indifferently.

"come in."

Daughter Wada Weichang opened the door, bowed respectfully and said.

"Disturbing mother is resting."

After she entered, she closed the door casually, blocking the arc light reflected by the point of the blade and spear outside the door in the moonlight.

Knowing that there would be a break tonight, Wada Weizheng never expected that it was his own daughter Wada Weizhang who set off the undercurrent behind her back.

But at this time, she didn't care anymore, she just sipped the sake and asked.

"why?"

"If I didn't agree to serve the Oda family, Wada Village would have been wiped out by Mr. Niwa Changhide's excuses."

Wada Yuimsa threw the wine glass in his hand to the ground with such force that it almost shattered into pieces.

The sliding door was opened, and a group of Ji warriors with sharp knives rushed in. Wada Yuichang turned his head and said sharply.

"I am talking to my mother, whoever allows you to come in and disturb me, get out!"

A group of Ji warriors bowed and apologized, and exited the room, not forgetting to close the door behind them.

Wada Weizheng laughed at himself and asked.

"Aren't they going to kill me?"

Wada Yuichang said in a low voice.

"Mother, you have worked hard for the Hetian family business, and all the Ji warriors in the family respect you very much.

It's just that the shogunate is in decline and the generals are unkind. Mother, why don't you turn to the light? Your Highness Oda actually values ​​you very much. "

Wada Yuomasa nodded and said.

"It turns out that Oda Nobunaga doesn't want me to die. She wants me to live and beg her for mercy, so that she can further humiliate the shogunate and damage the general's prestige."

Seeing his mother calling Oda Nobunaga by his name, Wada Yuichang couldn't help frowning.

"Mother, please be careful."

Hetian Weizheng said kindly to Yan Yuese.

"In troubled times, it is not wrong for mother, daughter and sisters to stand apart and continue to think about the family business.

Weichang, I don't blame you for serving His Highness Oda.But you also have to understand that if I take refuge in the past now, I will completely offend the shogunate, and it will also be detrimental to the Hetian family. "

Wada Yuichang hesitated for a moment and said.

"Mother, His Highness Oda won't let you die."

Hetian Weizheng smiled bitterly.

"Yeah, I just figured it out when I saw you too. His Highness Oda is really cruel, she is trying to make General Ashikaga feel ashamed.

I won't go to Luoyang to Beijing again, and I don't care what happens in Setjin Kingdom. "

Wada Weizheng took out the ribs, which made Hetian Weichang a little nervous, afraid that his mother would think about seppuku.

Wada Weizheng glanced at her and said with a smile.

"If I want to cut seppuku, I will naturally make you prepare to hold a sword and intervene with the wrong person. It's uncomfortable to use ribs."

While talking and joking, she stroked her hair with her left hand and grabbed it, chopped off a lot of her hair with a rib, and then handed it to Hetian Weichang.

"Find someone to shave my hair, please send this hair to His Highness Oda in Gifu City.

Yoomasa Tian and I pleaded guilty to Minami Omi and Tamura's problems, but we will never submit to the Oda family.If His Highness Oda is dissatisfied, please send someone to Hetian Village and allow me to do seppuku. "

Wada Yuichang respectfully took his mother's hair with both hands and asked.

"Mother wants to go back to Hetian Village?"

Wada Yuizheng smiled wryly.

"The general is incompetent, the Hetian family can only save themselves, I can't really let the family business fall into my hands. I can't go to Kyoto, I can only go back to Hetian Village and wait.

The Oda family did not allow Hetian village to erect a city wall, so I went back to sit on the territory myself.I believe that the fellow villagers of Jiahezhong will give me three points of support, and I will no longer be instigated to embarrass the Hetian family.

It's just that what happens in the future depends on whether His Highness Oda is willing to let me go.But with you here, there shouldn't be any major problems in the Hetian family, it's just my personal fate. "

Hetian Weichang was silent for a while, and asked bitterly.

"Mother really doesn't blame me?"

Wada Yuomasa sighed.

"For more than a hundred years in troubled times, nothing strange has happened. I have worked for Liujiao and Ashikaga for many years, and I am used to being deceived by others.

You are a good boy. Although you kept this matter from me, you did nothing wrong.The power of the Oda family is growing day by day, and the foundation of the Wada family is in Minami Omi, so they cannot be enemies.

I was unwise, obsessed with the shogunate, and mistrusted Ashikaga Yoshiaki, the incompetent and ungrateful Ashikaga general.

It's just that now, I can't bow before the general, I must stick to my loyalty, this is also for the reputation and future of the Hetian family. "

He Tianwei let out a long sigh, kowtowed to the ground and said.

"Thank you mother."

Hetian Weizheng said with a sarcasm on his face.

"It won't be long. I believe the general will give in soon. At that time, I can naturally bow my head."

---

As Wada Yuimasa judged, Ashikaga Yoshiaki was an incompetent general.She was not sympathetic to Wada Yuomasa's return to Minami Omi and Tamura halfway, but was furious.

But Yuomasa Wada insisted on the principle after all, he did not bow to Oda Nobunaga, and shaved his head to show his unyielding.

The general is brain-dead, but the shelf of the Ashikaga shogunate is still there, and it has not been completely swept into the garbage dump.Wada Yoomasa must not surrender to the foreign domain as a courtier of General Ashikaga.

The Ashikaga family can't afford to lose this person, and the shogunate can't afford to lose this person. The most important thing is, will the Genji elder, Yoshigin Shiba, come forward to kill the Wada family?
The Wada family can't afford to offend Oda Nobunaga, so can they offend Kawachi Genji?This signboard is not rotten yet, there are still handles.

This insistence of Wada Yoomasa made Oda Nobunaga appreciate it.For the sake of Wada Yuimaga's work for the Oda family, she no longer cared about Wada Yuima's disrespect to her.

After all, the fact that Wada Yuichang took refuge in the Oda family can no longer be concealed.

She even cheated on her own mother. If Oda Nobunaga continues to persecute her, the nearby samurai families who have taken refuge in the Oda family will inevitably feel sad for the death of rabbits and foxes.For the Oda family, this move outweighs the gains.

Sparing the disheartened Wada Yoomasa, Oda Nobunaga raised his troops to Shangluo again in the name of visiting General Ashikaga.

At the turn of spring and summer, Oda's Shangluo army besieged Sakamoto Castle, an important town that Minami Omi entered into the Yamashiro Kingdom.Niki Yoshimasa was unable to resist, and was forced to surrender at Kaesong, and Sakamoto Castle fell into the hands of the Oda family.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki had taken back the command of the Ashikaga Hui, and Niki Yoshimasa had lost Sakamoto Castle. He did not dare to return to Kyoto immediately, and hid in his own territory on the border between Iga and Yamashiro.

This territory was the few villages that Shiba Yoshigin ordered Siba to take asylum in order to thank her for giving up his post of Iga guard. Outsiders dare not covet it.

Hitoki Yoshimasa, who fled back to the village, recalled all kinds of encounters in the past few years. After the ups and downs, he was especially grateful for Shiba Yoshigin's righteousness and kindness.

Thinking of the villainous behavior of Shiba Yoshiyin who was embarrassed and stood by in Kyoto, she felt a little regretful.

So far, Ashikaga Yoshiaki's two most important ministers, Wada Yoshimasa and Niki Yoshimasa, were temporarily forced to leave the scene sadly, and the others dared not stop the menacing Oda Nobunaga.

Yoshiaki Ashikaga in Kyoto watched in horror as the Oda army approached Kyoto, but the samurai inside and outside of Kyoto silently watched her embarrass herself.

Oda Nobunaga wrote to Mibuchi Fujihide, denouncing her crimes of arbitrarily provoking frontier quarrels and illegally occupying Gaogui Castle, and asked her to withdraw from Fushimi Castle immediately, otherwise she would bear the consequences.

Mibuchi Tohide, who had an unpleasant quarrel with the shogunate because of occupying Takaki Castle, and was harshly criticized by the Hosokawa Mibuchi family.She didn't dare to resist the Oda army at all, so she had to give up Fushimi Castle.

Oda Nobunaga took advantage of the suppression of Ise and disrupted the coercion of Settsu to take down Sakamoto Castle. Fushimi Castle, the two important towns guarding the gates of Kyoto, once again succeeded in entering the capital.

In desperation, Ashikaga Yoshiaki could only pretend to allow Oda Nobunaga to attend the pilgrimage.So far, the story of Ashikaga Yoshiaki's revival of the shogunate for one year has completely become a big joke in the streets and alleys.

Kyoto, Nijo Castle.

In the chamber, Ashikaga Yoshiaki was furious.

"Bastard! This bastard!"

Everyone sitting in Feng was silent, and Kerji at the door stood like a wooden stake, staring at the scene inside.

She was brought out by Ashikaga Yoshiaki from Kofuku Temple, and she accompanied and protected her all the way to Luo, so she was deeply trusted, and now she is the leader of Konoe.

In front of Ashikaga Yoshiaki, Yanagyu Zong fell deeply on the ground.After Ashikaga Yoshiaki succeeded to the throne, she returned to the shogunate and realized her ambition.

This time, she also brought back Oda Nobunaga's request.

After Oda Nobunaga went to Los Angeles, he did not come to Nijo Castle to see her as soon as possible. Instead, he hoped that Ashikaga Yoshiaki could go to Tofuku Temple to meet her.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki's face as a general was rubbed against the soles of her feet by Oda Nobunaga. She was so angry that she wanted to refuse, but she dared not refuse in the face of strong military pressure.

Although Oda Nobunaga did not bring many people into the capital, the Oda army was stationed in Fushimi Castle in the south, watching the north.

The shogunate Ninagawa hid back to Tamba, and Hatakeyama Takamasa also ran back to Nanhanoi to wait and see. Everyone was watching what she, General Ashikaga, would do.

The only thing Ashikaga Yoshiaki can rely on is the Ashikaga family, the Ashikaga Huizhong, who is loyal to the Ashikaga family.

However, in Mibuwolf's Tianzhu operation, Iio Akiren and Matsuda Fujihiro were the most prestigious among the public, and Ueno Kiyonobu and Odate Harutada were among the shogunate appraisers who firmly supported the general.

The four were either dead or maimed.

Originally everything was going well, Ashikaga Yoshiaki didn't feel anything wrong yet.But when it came to trouble, she suddenly found that she couldn't find a few loyal and brave men who dared to fight and kill.

Those people like Wada Yoshimasa, Niki Yoshimasa, and Yagyu Zongyan were all opportunists who supported her in Shangluo back then, but now they are running away, so stupid.

The dignified Ashikaga general, there are not many people in the shogunate who are willing to bleed to death for her. Doesn't it make outsiders look down on her weight even more?

Ashikaga Yoshiaki was so humiliated that he vented his anger, but the princesses in front of him couldn't offer any useful suggestions other than calm down, death, and guilt.

She suddenly felt regretful, if Shiba Yoshigin was still in Kyoto, would Oda Nobunaga dare to be so presumptuous?

At this time in Tofukuji Temple, Oda Nobunaga also welcomed a guest.

In the quiet room, Akechi Mitsuhide smiled and saluted Oda Nobunaga and said.

"I haven't seen Your Highness Oda for some days, and your demeanor is even better than before."

Oda Nobunaga tilted his head, looked at Akechi Mitsuhide, and said.

"What? Are you trying to complain for Yoshiaki Ashikaga, or are you a lobbyist she invited?"

Akechi Mitsuhide shook his head and said.

"You forgot, I'm also the garrison of the capital, and so many sergeants have come to the capital, I always have to go through the motions, and I can't be dead.

By the way, Nong-kun wrote me a letter, saying that she has arrived in Minami Omi, and asked me to take Saito Ryuxing to see him when I have time.

May I ask His Highness Oda, can I occasionally take my child to Minami Omi to meet Mr. Nong? "

Oda Nobunaga glanced at Mitsuhide Akechi with a gentle face, smiled and said.

"They are all relatives of my own family. Since we live not far away, we will walk around more in the future. Mr. Nong misses you very much."

Akechi Mitsuhide bowed happily.

"That was a real inconvenience to you, thank you very much."

Oda Nobunaga saw her gossip about the relationship, but he was a little bit impatient.

"That's all you have to say to me?"

Akechi Mitsuhide pretended to be surprised.

"His Majesty Oda, what else do you want me to say?
When Jin Duodian left, he urged him to be cautious in his words and deeds, and not to get involved in the shogunate disputes.

Although I was appointed by the general as the Kyoto garrison, as you know, I'm staying in Kyoto to represent the Shiba family on diplomatic affairs, so it's inconvenient to talk nonsense. "

Oda Nobunaga laughed.

"So, even if I abolish this annoying Ashikaga general, you will still watch silently?"

Akechi Mitsuhide shook his head.

"It's not, it's not like that. I have only heard of the principle of coercing the emperor to order the princes, but I have never heard of the principle of abolishing the emperor to order the princes.

His Royal Highness Oda is a female with great talent and great ambitions, how could he let himself fall into unfavorable public opinion. "

Oda Nobunaga looked at Akechi Mitsuhide for a while, and the more he looked at it, the more pleasing he was, so he extended the invitation again and said.

"I like you very much, do you want to think about it seriously and come to Oda's house to do things for me?"

Akechi Mitsuhide bowed his thanks and refused again.

"His Royal Highness loves him dearly, but the foreign ministers are terrified.

I am close to Nokun-kun, but it is not appropriate to go to Shiba's house after all, and it will also arouse Jintaden's resentment towards you.On the contrary, by staying at Shiba's house, he can make his own contribution to the goodwill between the two families.

Besides, in this chaotic world, order must be restored after all.If His Royal Highness Oda can really bring the world into one, whoever serves under that sect, wouldn’t they all serve under your sect? "

Oda Nobunaga laughed, clapped his hands, and said.

"You are very good at talking. I really don't want to touch Ashikaga Yoshiaki, but she is really not sensible, which makes me very embarrassed."

Akechi Mitsuhide said calmly.

"Since His Royal Highness dared to go to Luo, he naturally has a well-thought-out plan and a well-prepared plan."

Oda Nobunaga nodded, pointed to the floor, and said.

"So, I want you to help me invite Ashikaga Yoshiaki here. After that, I will take care of it myself."

Akechi Mitsuhide smiled.

"It's embarrassing for her to ask the general to come over, but the situation is compelling, and she probably won't refuse to make the situation worse.

But you also know the general's temperament, can you give me the confidence to persuade him. "

Oda sneered.

"Isn't she just afraid of death? I promise I won't kill her and abolish her, so let her come here with peace of mind.

You also said that it is not good for me to kill her by coercing the emperor to make the princes. "

Akechi Mitsuhide bowed and saluted.

"Since this is the case, I can have the audacity to walk away and share one or two worries for His Royal Highness Oda."
