Chapter 2074: The Uncontrollable Ghosts and Goblins

Hosokawa Fujitaka broke out in a cold sweat after hearing this. He realized that when it came to conspiracy, he was indeed not as professional as Akechi Mitsuhide.

It turned out that Akechi Mitsuhide had long been prepared to take the blame for the murder of the general, so others could naturally act without any scruples.

All aspects had been clearly arranged long ago. This time, Akechi Mitsuhide came to tell Hosokawa Fujitaka that Miyoshi Yoshitsugu had defected and arranged for Hosokawa Fujitaka to deal with this fence-sitter.

Hosokawa Fujitaka was still worried about Akechi Mitsuhide. He felt ashamed of himself for showing off his skills in front of the big boss who was plotting something.

Mitsuhide Akechi saw that Hosokawa Fujitaka was standing there in a daze without saying anything, so he asked with a smile.

"Why? Do you think my arrangement is suitable, Fujitaka?"

Hosokawa Fujitaka sighed.

"I have always admired Mitsuhide's talent."

Akechi Mitsuhide shook his head.

"Okay, no need to say nice things. After this is over, the Saint will probably be angry with me again. I just don't know how he will deal with me."

Hosokawa Fujitaka smiled.

"The saint naturally knows that this is a concerted effort by the descendants of God. Mitsuhide, you are just a poor person who has taken the blame. I will not punish you severely."

Akechi Mitsuhide smiled bitterly.

"I'm pitiful? Just consider it as pitiful.

There is a saying in the Heavenly Dynasty that there must be something hateful about a pitiful person. Whether you pity me or hate me, everything I do is for the sake of the world. Even if the saint cuts me into pieces, I will die with no regrets. "

Hosokawa Fujitaka curled his lips, thinking that Akechi Mitsuhide was showing off again.

Not to mention that the saint was becoming more and more politically mature, many dark things were inseparable from the planning of Akechi Mitsuhide, and he was reluctant to severely punish Akechi Mitsuhide and cut off his own arm.

Just because of the existence of the Qimiaowan, it is impossible for the saint to throw Akechi Mitsuhide into the abyss. The mother of the gods has a golden medal of immunity from death, so Akechi Mitsuhide will at most be given a light punishment and a few days of confinement.

Everyone has become tired of seeing this over the years. Every time, it was Mitsuhide Akechi who set up the table and held a grand banquet, and the saint would hold his nose and clean up the mess afterwards.

  Severe punishment? Severe punishment, bullshit!

Hosokawa Fujitaka had a subtle look in his eyes, and Akechi Mitsuhide smiled without saying a word, each of them was thinking about their own thoughts.

After a while, Akechi Mitsuhide smiled.

"Okay, now that I've finished my business, I'm going to go see the kids. I won't be here for a few days before I have to leave. I was born to be a hard worker.

Stop thinking about those intrigues and enjoy the happiness of family life."

Hosokawa Fujitaka nodded and smiled.

"Go together, go together."

The tree wants to be still but the wind does not stop. Yoshigin sits still in Tamonyama Castle in order to suppress the ghosts and monsters in and around Kinki.

But things in the world are not as planned. Various troubles come one after another, making him overwhelmed and exhausted.

The various contradictions in the reform and innovation were like a tangled mess that could not be sorted out and could only be unraveled bit by bit, which consumed a lot of Yiyin's energy.

The newly established Lanyi Kindergarten is a drama with three daughters. I wonder if Yiyin will be able to handle more and more daughters in the future. Thirteen daughters, quack more than a group of ducks.

From the outside, Hashiba Hideyoshi was in high spirits. He took Ichijo Kanesada as his adoptive mother, officially succeeded the Tosa Ichijo family, and was determined to become the regent of the leader of the imperial family and call himself the elder of the Tosa clan.

Afterwards, Hideyoshi Ichijo formally issued an ultimatum to the Chosokabe family.

He demanded that the Chosokabe family withdraw from the three provinces of Awa, Sanuki, and Iyo that they had occupied, return to the territory of Tosa Province, and return the territory of the Tosa Ichijo family that they had annexed. The Chosokabe family refused, so Hideyoshi Ichijo announced that his sister Hashiba Hidenaga would be the general of Shikoku and sent troops to attack the rebellious Shikoku.

The Chosokabe clan was unable to defeat Hideyoshi Ichijo's Shikoku Army and was forced to accept all the conditions and surrender and retreat back to Tosa Province. Hideyoshi Ichijo swallowed up the three provinces of Awa, Sanuki, and Iyo, and his prestige soared.

At the same time, Ashikaga Yoshiaki began to return to Kyoto, and was escorted to Kyoto by the Mori family and the Ichijo family successively until the water of the Yodo River was transported into the mountain city.

Miyoshi Yoshitsugu in northern Kawachi responded to the call and prepared to escort the shogun to Kyoto.

However, the three people of Wakae were dissatisfied with Miyoshi Yoshitsugu's reckless behavior, so they raised an army to besiege Wakae Castle and demanded that Miyoshi Yoshitsugu apologize to the saint.

Miyoshi Yoshitsugu was forced to kill her husband and then committed suicide by seppuku. The three people of Wakae turned to confess their crimes to Hosokawa Fujitaka, and Wakae Castle opened its gates to welcome the rule of the Izumi Hosokawa family.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki, who was waiting for Miyoshi Yoshitsugu to welcome him, was frightened by the sudden incident and stopped in Settsu Province to wait and see.

Hatakeyama Takamasa and Ninagawa Yoshiyoko, who planned the general's trip to Kyoto and back to the capital, were in a difficult situation and were in a state of panic.

Everyone's eyes were on Tamonyama Castle, trying to figure out what the saint was thinking, wondering whether Miyoshi Yoshitsugu's tragic death was an accident or an arrangement.

I heard a lot about mountain cities and lived in the museum.

After midsummer, the weather has not become cooler, but has become even hotter due to the autumn heat, making people feel restless. Fortunately, the wind is strong and there are fewer cicadas chirping to disturb people, which is better than midsummer.

Yoshigin and Ii Naomasa walked one after the other on the gravel path in the courtyard. From afar, they could see three daughters sitting cross-legged under the shade of a tree, receiving samurai education from a female samurai.

After stopping and carefully identifying the female warrior, Yiyin asked.

"Is that Nagano Yoshimori?"

Ii Naomasa nodded.

"It's her. Nagano comes from a famous family and is well versed in both civil and military affairs. It will be enough for her to guide the three little princes in their daily enlightenment."

Yiyin nodded and suddenly remembered something.

"Has Sanada Rin not returned to the team yet?

What is Sanada Nobufusa up to again? It has been more than two years since I allowed her to have her adopted daughter accompany her during her pregnancy. Her child is almost two years old, but she still holds on to her adopted daughter. What's wrong? Does she not want her adopted daughter's future?"

The Nagano family is a famous family in western Ueno, and Nagano Yoshimasa is in charge of Minowa Castle and his reputation is well-known.

Unfortunately, after Nagano Yoshimasa passed away, Sanada Nobushige took advantage of the Minowa clan's weakness during the power transfer and raided Nishiueno, almost killing Nagano Yoshimasa's successor, Nagano Yoshimori.

It was Nagano Yoshimasa's good friend Kamiizumi Nobutsuna who risked his life to protect him, and with the letter of thanks from Yoshigin as support, he brought Nagano Yoshimori to Dahu Castle where Shima Katsutake was, thus preserving the bloodline of the Nagano family.

It was also because of this incident that the old and frail Kamiizumi Nobunaga died of exhaustion. Yoshigaki, remembering the favor done by the old swordsman, arranged Nagano Yoshimori into the Doxinshu.

It is strange to say that Sanada Nobushige and Nagano Yoshimori had a deep hatred for each other.

However, after Sanada Nobuyuki's adopted daughter Sanada Rin joined the Doshinshu, she became comrades-in-arms with Nagano Yoshimori on the battlefield and they had a good relationship.

So when he saw Nagano Yoshimori, Yoshigin suddenly thought of Sanada Rin, who had not returned to the team for a long time, and immediately complained about Sanada Nobufusa's unruliness.

How could he know that the one who was actually pregnant with the divine descendant of Sanada was Sanada Rin, and not Sanada Nobushige as announced by the Sanada family.

Rather than saying that Sanada Rin is accompanying Sanada Nobuyuki to take care of her pregnancy, it would be more accurate to say that Sanada Nobuyuki is waiting for the baby in Sanada Rin's belly to be born.

Although the child has been born, the divine race is strong, and the vitality lost by Sanada Rin's pregnancy has not yet fully recovered. How could the Sanada family dare to let her return to the team, for fear that outsiders would notice the clues?
