Chapter 1427 The villain is not easy to be
Akechi Mitsuhide smiled and looked at Matsunaga Hide who was drinking tea in front of him. It was not Matsunaga Hideo who came to visit on his own initiative today, but Akechi Mitsuhide invited her here.

Seen by Akechi Mitsuhide's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, Matsunaga Hide put down his teacup and asked softly.

"What is Zhiji Ji laughing at?"

Akechi Mitsuhide said.

"I laughed at that Miyoshi Yoshitsugu, who was so stupid as a pig and dog, that he was persuaded by a piece of imperial letter from the general, so he rushed back to the nearest few, wanting to make a contribution.

She didn't even think about who killed her mother, and why her adoptive mother died in depression.

People, the easiest thing is to trust others, but the hardest thing is to see yourself clearly. "

Matsunaga Hideo bowed his head and remained silent.

She followed Sanhao and Four Sisters into the near future, how prosperous the Sanhao family was at that time, sweeping near almost made the martial arts in the world awe.

Unfortunately, it was destroyed in the hands of that man.

Miyoshi Changqing died and his successor Miyoshi Yoshiko, Miyoshi Yoshiki died and his mother Juhe Kazukun died. Miyoshi's dream of Shangluo dominating the shogunate was severely shattered by Shiba Yoshin in the Battle of Yamato.

Time and life.

Song Yongxiu felt a little choked up in his heart, and asked in a low voice.

"Akechiji called me here just to ridicule Miyoshi Yoshitsugu?"

Akechi Mitsuhide glanced at Song Yongxiu unexpectedly, this world-famous [-]-year-old was a little bit angry, she really had some feelings for Miyoshi Changqing.

"Matsunaga Hime misunderstood, I just felt that Miyoshi Yoshitsuji didn't know who he knew, and he mistrusted the general.

When I came back from Nijo Castle just now, Lord Gongfang has changed his mind and admitted that the matter of the Imperial Household Book was bewitched by others, and the moral basis for Miyoshi Yoshito's return to recent days no longer exists. "

Matsunaga was surprised, how could Yoshiaki Ashikaga be so stupid?
She is General Ashikaga, and she said that the imperial letter she sent out was bewitched by others, isn't this nonsense?

Gouaishu, that is the way that General Ashikaga seeks help through private letters to establish relationships with local samurai. It is not an official letter from the shogunate, but represents the prestige of General Ashikaga himself.

If Ashikaga Yoshiaki could even change her private letter, who would dare to help her in the future?If she didn't admit it afterwards, the person who helped her would die unjustly, just like Miyoshi Yoshitsugu.

Matsunaga Hide was puzzled. Although Ashikaga Yoshiaki was ridiculed as a poor official, but after all, she was born in Kofuku Temple and had a normal brain. How could she be so stupid?

Seeing her thinking, Akechi Mitsuhide explained with a smile.

"This is not the result of me coercing and luring, and arrogating and deceiving the public. It is because the Miyoshi family has cast a deep shadow on the shogunate concubines, making them unable to accept the general's behavior.

Even if we know that Miyoshi Yoshitsugu is not Miyoshi Changqing, and the Miyoshi family today is not as good as it used to be, but who in the shogunate has lingering fears, who can guarantee that the Miyoshi family will not revive?

Mr. Gongfang dared to contact Miyoshi's family with the Imperial Book, so she was doomed to not be able to bear the pressure sooner or later, so she had to correct her mistake and admit her mistake.

The Hatano family and the Ninagawa family of Tamba country managed to get rid of the threat of the Miyoshi family. The past of Miyoshi Yoshiken's invasion of Tamba country is still vivid and dare not forget.

The Izumi Hosokawa family, the North Kawachi Mibuchi family, and the Minami Kawachi Hatakeyama family are being attacked by the Miyoshi family at this time.

The leaders of the shogunate, the acting officials of the government, the famous families of the shogunate, and the few powerful feudal clans are all putting pressure on the general.

But Yoshimasa Wada is dead, Yoshimasa Niki lives in seclusion, and the shogunate samurai of the Ashikaga family can't find a few talents to come out to help.

The position and salary of the Ashikaga congregation have not been secured, the military supplies are insufficient, the morale of the Feng people is low, and dissatisfaction with the general is spreading.

At this time, our general actually wanted to have an affair with Miyoshi's family, in the name of righteousness given to Miyoshi's family to return to recent times by the Imperial Book, which finally ignited public outrage.

I didn't do anything, just complained casually to a few colleagues in the shogunate.

Everyone hopes that Jindadian will come forward to drive away Miyoshi's family again, but the general supports Miyoshi's family with imperial documents.

Who would have thought that everyone trusted my family, Jin Duodon, so much that each family put pressure on the general, making the general hold his nose and deny the existence of the imperial book. "

Song Yongxiu snorted secretly, and complained a few words casually?I believe you ghost!
Akechi Mitsuhide took advantage of the fear of the Miyoshi family from the samurai inside and outside the shogunate, and made a big series, which forced Ashikaga Yoshiaki to back down due to public outrage.

And Ashikaga Yoshiaki's retreat was a real disaster for the Miyoshi family.Of course, this damages Ashikaga Yoshiaki's already depleted prestige, even Ashikaga Miyoshi loses.

But Akechi Mitsuhide talked for a long time, Matsunaga Hide still didn't understand why she asked him to come here for an interview.

Matsunaga Hideo has clearly stood in the camp of Oda Nobunaga and broke with Miyoshi's family. In addition, Ashikaga Yoshiaki is miserable, and it has nothing to do with her.

Akechi Mitsuhide changed the subject and said again.

"Yojo, Matsunagahime's territory, controls the waterways from the Yodo River to the Settsu Mountain Castle and the two countries.

Today, the shogunate broke the agreement with the Miyoshi family, and the invasion again is a common enemy.My lord is supported by the concubines of the shogunate, and will join forces with all parties to confront the treacherous Miyoshi family.

This battle involves the five countries of Yamashiro, Settsu, Izumi, Hanoi, and Tamba. Please also ask Matsunaga Hideo to support the shogunate's resolution and stand on the side of justice. "

Akechi Mitsuhide was full of righteousness, but Matsunaga Hide was extremely twisted when he heard it.

After Miyoshi Yoshito subdued the shogunate, he was indeed fulfilling his original mission and followed General Ashikaga wholeheartedly.But she was stupid because she didn't see Ashikaga Yoshiaki, the unreliable public figure.

The battle between the Kyoto shogunate, Ashikaga Yoshiaki, Shiba Yoshigin, and Oda Nobunaga's big three, obviously Ashikaga Yoshiaki, the boss, is the worst.

Just because he trusted Ashikaga Yoshiaki, Miyoshi Yoshiaki sent troops for several days, and he was blamed for breaking the contract and landing with ulterior motives.

Obviously he was doing things for the shogunate, and he turned himself into a traitor while doing it. Does Miyoshi follow his injustice?

Song Yongxiu thought about it and said.

"Wise Ji, I naturally responded to the shogunate's call and stood on the side of righteousness.

It's just that Diancheng is not strong enough, and His Royal Highness Oda ordered me to strictly guard the door, so it's really hard to act rashly. "

Matsunaga Hide didn't want to fight with Miyoshi's family. She had just connected Araki Murashige and Miyoshi Yoshitsugu to achieve their harmony, and she also hoped to win more benefits from both sides.

At this time, the end was covered with water and wet feet, so it is not easy to install neutral cubes in the future.

Akechi Mitsuhide naturally knew that Matsunaga Hideo was not slippery, and inviting her here today was to trap her, so he was naturally prepared.

"Hime Matsunaga's difficulties, I understand very well.

However, His Highness Oda personally told Jindadian that he hoped that Jindadian could help maintain peace and stability in Western Japan.

The two lords have reached an agreement, we as subordinates should do our best to serve the lord, how can we bow our heads in the face of difficulties and make the lord difficult? "

Akechi Mitsuhide took out a piece of information from his pocket, handed it to Matsunaga Hide, and continued.

"This is the news I got just now. I think Matsunaga Hime will be interested."

Song Yongxiu took it suspiciously, looked at ten lines at a glance, his eyes were rounded, and he lost his voice.

"How could this be?"

Akechi Mitsuhide covered his mouth and smiled softly, his eyes were cold.

"You can make the Higashisetsu people turn against you, and help Araki Murashige kill Wada Yuisha, and Araki Murashige can also disclose this matter to Wada Yuishaga.

Wada Yuichang knew the truth about his mother's death, but could not be sheltered by His Royal Highness Oda, how terrified and desperate she must have been staying in Gaogui City.

In this case, there is nothing wrong with her idea of ​​tricking Gao Shan Shigeyou into Gaogui City to ambush him.

It's just that she didn't do it beautifully enough, so that Takayama Shigetomo noticed the matter, and the two sides fought, and both sides suffered losses, which made it easier for Araki Murashige who was watching the fire from the other side. "

Matsunaga was sweating on her head, holding the thin paper, her fingers trembling, as if it was as heavy as a thousand weights, she whispered.

"Wada Yuinaga was seriously injured and returned to Minami Omi, Takayama Shigetomo was seriously injured and surrendered to Araki Village Shige.

Gaogui City has been controlled by Araki Cunshige, and now, she is a veritable Guardian of Settsu. "

Akechi Mitsuhide smiled and looked at the pale Matsunaga Hide, but his eyes were so cold that there was no smile at all.She knew exactly what Song Yongxiu was afraid of.

Oda Nobunaga died in battle because of Mori Kasunari, and Asai Asakura's coalition forces approached Kyoto, but they had no choice but to give up Nishikinji, and led their troops back to Kyoto to fight the fire.

However, in the Settsu country, there are also powerful samurai in places such as Araki Murashige, Wada Yoomasa, Matsunaga Hide, and Mibuchi Fujihide who are loyal to Oda Nobunaga.

Araki Murashige is the chief minister of the Settsu Ikeda family, Wada Yoomasa is the chief minister of Ashikaga Yoshiaki, and Matsunaga Hideo is the chief minister of the Miyoshi family. All three of them betrayed their old masters and followed Oda Nobunaga.

And Mibuchi Fujihide failed in the internal struggle between the Hosokawa Mibuchi family, so he had no choice but to turn to Oda Nobunaga, hoping to use the power of the Oda family to keep his power in Kita Hanoi.

Speaking of which, these people are not good people, and Oda Nobunaga doesn't believe them either.

But Oda Nobunaga is a utilitarian, as long as they serve the Oda family well, Oda Nobunaga will be very generous in their rewards, and both parties will get what they need.

Originally, after Oda Nobunaga retreated, he hoped that these people could stop the attack of the Miyoshi family, so that the Oda family could free up their hands and clean up the Asai Asakura family first.

Matsunaga Hideo has already severely offended Wada Yoomasa and Mibuchi Fujihide because of all the previous provocations.

Because he was worried that these two people would be unfavorable to him, Matsunaga Hideo simply acted first, contacted Araki Murashige, and killed Wada Yuomasa, the only remaining guardian of Settsu San.

Araki Village wanted to monopolize the Setjin Kingdom, so he was naturally happy to cooperate with Matsunaga Hideo.

Dongsettsu was once a subordinate assigned by Miyoshi Changqing to Matsunaga Hideo, and Takayama Shigetomo was Matsunagahide's former minister.Matsunaga Hideo made Wada Yuomasa die inexplicably with just a little trickery.

Then, Matsunaga Hide brought together Araki Murashige and Miyoshi Yoshitsugu to reconcile, and let Miyoshi Yoshitsugu shift the target of the next attack to the two countries of Izumi and Hanoi, and the soldiers went as far as Mibuchi Fujihide in North Hanoi.

Wada Yoomasa died unexpectedly, Mibuchi Fujihide was in panic all day long under the command of the Miyoshi army, and Matsunaga Hideo, who was manipulating all this behind the scenes, also successfully eliminated the two deadly enemies.

Mitsuhide Akechi couldn't help applauding her for such a good trick, it's really amazing.

But things in this world are never isolated. Hideo Matsunaga moved the dominoes, and Oda Nobunaga's arrangement in Nishisettsu was doomed to collapse completely.

Because of the death of his mother Wada Yuisha, Wada Yuichang ran to Oda Nobunaga's seat and cried, begging for the decision.

But Oda Nobunaga was too busy to take care of himself at this time, and she had to rely on Araki Murashige for the affairs of Settsu Kingdom, how could she speak for Wada Yuichang.

As a result, Wada Yuichang was repelled by Oda Nobunaga, and Araki Village received the promise of Oda Nobunaga to become the new guardian of Settsu.

Originally, Oda Nobunaga also hoped that Araki Murashige would continue to cooperate with his strategy to stop the invasion of the Miyoshi family in Settsu, so that Oda Nobunaga could return to Kyoto with peace of mind and clean up Asai Asakura.

However, for his own benefit, Ke Song Yongxiu helped Araki Murashige and Miyoshi Yoshitsugu to match up, so that the two reached a rapprochement.

On the other hand, after Wada Yuichang was reprimanded by Oda Nobunaga, when he returned to Gaogui City, the more he thought about it, the more fearful and resentful he became.

When Yoshiaki Wada was serving as Ashikaga Yoshiaki, Wada Yoisha secretly took refuge in Oda Nobunaga, betrayed the shogunate information, and hoped that the Wada family could get on the chariot of the Oda family and prosper.

Now that Wada Yuisha died tragically, Oda Nobunaga turned a blind eye to the person who killed Wada Yuisha, making Wada Yuichang the laughing stock of the samurai. This ruthlessness chilled Wada Yuichang.

Under the instigation of Araki Murashige, Wada Yuichang decided to act first, and tricked Takayama Shigetomo, a powerful martial artist from Dongsetsu, into Gaogui City and killed him.

As a result, Wada Yuichang was seriously injured and fled back to Minami Omi's hometown, Takayama Shigeyou was seriously injured and surrendered to Araki Cunshige, and the entire Settsu Kingdom was controlled by Araki Cunshige.

Oda Nobunaga can tolerate Araki Murashige killing Wada Yuomasa and controlling the entire Settsu Kingdom.

But Araki Murashige didn't go to war with the Miyoshi family, and smiled as he watched the Miyoshi family attack Fujihide Mibuchi, who belonged to the Oda family, which completely shattered Oda Nobunaga's layout in Nishisettsu.

And Araki Cunzhong told the truth that Wada Yuicaga leaked, and sold the villain behavior that Matsunaga showed in it.

Although Oda Nobunaga did not catch the evidence, everyone knew in their hearts who made Oda Nobunaga's strategic deployment in Nishikinji completely collapse.

The governor of the Oda family is notorious for vengeance. When she frees up her hand, will Matsunaga Hide be able to live a good life?

Therefore, when Song Yongxiu knew the news that Wada Yuichang and Takayama Shigeyou were fighting, and Araki Village re-occupied Gaogui City, he knew that he was miserable.

It is impossible for Oda Nobunaga to tolerate his crossing the line again and again, especially if it caused such serious consequences and harmed the interests of the Oda family.

Oda Nobunaga's checks and balances against Araki Murashige were broken, and he had to tolerate the arrogance of the new Settsu guardian.

All this is because of Song Yongxiu's selfishness, can she have a good life in the future?
Matsunaga Hideo glanced at the calm and relaxed Mitsuhide Akechi, knowing that she should be this black-bellied woman's close friend again, she simply kowtowed to the ground and shouted.

"Wise Ji, save me!"

Akechi Mitsuhide shook his head and sighed.

"Matsunaga Hime, I really don't know what to say about you, you are misunderstood by your cleverness, His Highness Oda's layout of Miyoshi's family has been destroyed by you.

For the current plan, only if you cooperate well with Jindadian and let Jindadian successfully complete the entrustment of His Highness Oda, can I speak for you. "
