Chapter 879 The Most Expensive Widow
In Kyoto, Akechi Mitsuhide and Saito Toshizo are sitting opposite each other in a tea room, with Fujibayashi Anko serving orders below.

Fujibayashi Xing's tone was flat, talking about information without emotion.

"In recent days, Ise Zhenjiao has encouraged many ministers to go to Kofuku Temple in Yamato to worship the Buddha.

In the name of protecting nobles, Tsutsui Junkei, the head of the Yamato nun samurai family, dispatched a large number of troops to station near Kofukuji.

Master Changjue, the head of Xingfu Temple, studied Buddhism in the apse. He did not leave for many days, and all the common affairs were delegated to his disciples.

Yinrong, the abbot of Hozoin, who has been in charge of the safety of Kofukuji Temple, also publicly announced that Hozoin abandoned his martial arts, and all the security inside and outside the temple was taken over by Tsutsui Junkei's nuns. "

Having said this, Fujibayashi Anko bowed and remained silent.

Akechi Mitsuhide looked at Saito Toshizo and said with a smile.

"Look, I said Tsutsui Junkei will not miss this opportunity. He will definitely take advantage of this storm to bring Kofukuji under control.

It's just that Xingfu Temple simply gave up resistance, which is the best way to deal with it.

Swords and guns can't stop Tsutsui Junkei, but if the mages of Kofukuji give up worldly struggles and concentrate on worshiping Buddha.Tsutsui Junqing didn't have the guts to kill the seat lord, completely offending the Shingon sect.

As long as Master Changjue lives in seclusion and concentrates on practicing, Tsutsui Shunkei has nothing to do with her.

When the lord turned around a few days ago, Master Changjue went to ask him to come forward, how dare Tsutsui Junqing be so presumptuous?

At the beginning of the Yamato War, Tsutsui Junqing did not dare to confront the lord.Now that the Shiba family is more powerful, if she is given two more courage, she can only bow her head and admit defeat.

There are still capable people in Xingfu Temple, Master Changjue has figured it out, now it is Tsutsui Junqing's turn to have a headache.

She can only control the South Central Yamato Kingdom by taking advantage of the opportunity when the lord is not around to make an established fact.Xingfu Temple is now pretending to be dead and not accepting the move, she is probably jumping in a hurry. "

Saito Rizo didn't care about the struggle inside Kofuku-ji Temple. The power struggle between the mages and the nuns and samurai could not affect the affairs of the shogunate.

She sighed and said.

"Ise Zhenjiao is desperate, using the curiosity of the vassals to encourage groups of people to go to Xingfu Temple to see Master Jueqing.

It is said that the person looks very similar to the general, which confirms the veracity of the rumor.Such turmoil and rain, the Ashikaga General of the Imperial Palace has the heart to kill her. "

Akechi Mitsuhide laughed.

"If you don't do this, the general will let her go?
The Ise family has occupied the government for hundreds of years, and the Ninagawa family was also a retainer of her family in the early years.

Ever since Ise Sadakyo told Ninagawa that he wanted to change the general, there was no room for maneuver between the Ashikaga family and the Ise family.

Ninagawa told the whole story to the general and sold her out.Next, either the general will step down, or the Ise family will completely decline.

Ise Zhenjiao lost its appeal among the vassals, and now they just use the curiosity of the vassals to incite them to visit Kofukuji Temple.

But the general didn't know, and thought that some of the vassals were ulterior motives and joined together to overthrow her rule.

None of the vassals who went to Xingfu Temple could escape, and the general would definitely suppress them even more.

Ise Zhenjiao did this, on the one hand, through the suppression of the general, to force these vassals to their side.On the other hand, it also attracts the general's attention and provides convenience for me to do things. "

Saito Toshizo shook his head.

"Ise Zhenjiao is also a powerful person after being put to death."

Akechi Mitsuhide laughed.

"It's just the wailing of a bereaved dog. The general forced her too hard. If she is given a way out, she will sell me in exchange for the general's understanding.

Our general is narrow-minded and cannot tolerate others.She is suspicious and impatient, no matter how firm her will to revive the shogunate is, she can't keep people's hearts. "

Saito Toshizo hesitated and asked.

"Master, do we have to do this?

The two adults, Takada Yono and Maeda Masayoshi, both started to act. I always feel that they have seen through your intentions, so they cooperated secretly.

It's just that once this is done, the recent chaos will be blamed on you and the Ise Joshin Church.

The return of the lord is nearly a few days away, and it is inevitable to investigate the causes and consequences of the chaos in the shogunate.They will definitely turn around and betray you, and pin all the blame on you. "

Akechi Mitsuhide smiled and said nothing, she never told anyone else that she wanted to kill the general.

Takada Yoshino and Maeda Yoshiki thought she was going to drive the general down, and Ise Sadakyo thought she was going to use the excuse that the twins were unlucky to support Ashikaga Teru-kun to become a male general.

They were all wrong. Cutting the grass does not remove the root, and the spring breeze blows and regenerates.

Ashikaga Yoshiki must die, only in this way can the possibility of Ashikaga confluence be completely cut off, and Akechi Mitsuhide's dream can be realized.

The Hanoi Genji lineage has reached today, and there are not many people who can have a name.Female respect is no better than male respect, it is too difficult to spread branches and leaves, how many children can a woman have in a lifetime?

Except for the Ashikaga branch of the Kamakura family that was puppeted by the Hojo family in Kanto, the only direct bloodlines of Ashikaga in recent days are Ashikaga Yoshiki, Ashikaga Teru-kun, and Kakukei of Kofukuji.

There are also two generations of general husbands who can be called the direct descendants, that is, the Odaisho, and Shiba Yoshigin, the Odaisho.

if. .Akechi Mitsuhide narrowed his eyes. .The imperial palace was captured, and Odaisho, Ashikaga Yoshiki, and Ashikaga Teru-kun were all martyred. How many people can be called the descendants of Hanoi Genji?
Kamakura public?She is not a descendant.

When the Kanto General rebelled, the Kamakura Ashikaga family was even kicked out of the Ashikaga family sequence.Except for the samurai family of the ten countries in the Kanto, the samurai family in other places do not recognize the Ashikaga family in the Kanto at all.

Master Jueqing?She is indeed the twin daughter of Ashikaga Yoshiki, who is of the blood of the previous shogun.

But she is an ominous twin daughter, and she has not received the imperial decree from Ashikaga Yoshiki.Even if he barely succeeds to the throne, he lacks orthodoxy, and is far less recognized by Ashikaga Yoshiki than the world's samurai.

Shiba Yoshigin, the Imperial Palace, will be the most bare-boned real gold in terms of status.As long as he doesn't get married with others, his status as a widow is the descendant of Hanoi Genji recognized by the martial arts all over the world.

Genji Hanoi is a survivor, the dove occupies the magpie's nest, and Mitsuhide Akechi's eyes are shining with excitement.

Even if Yoshihiro Shiba would hate her to the bone when he returned to recent days, she must do this.

Get rid of the direct branch of the Imperial Palace, let Jueqing become a general, and make Shiba Yoshiyin the most honorable widow in the world.

In order to control the identity of Hanoi Genji's descendants, the Shiba Takeshi Group will not allow Shiba Yoshigin to marry, which will damage their interests.

Hanoi Genji's status as a descendant is too valuable, enough for the entire group to sacrifice Shiba Yoshiyin's lifelong happiness unanimously. This is not a huge benefit that a few high-level officials can veto.

The emotion in Akechi Mitsuhide's eyes gradually calmed down.

She still has a lot to do, laying the ladder to the highest place for the Lord.Even if she is hated by the concubines and loathed by the lord, she will go on unswervingly.

In this ruthless and chaotic world, a righteous and benevolent monarch with warmth is needed to restore the order of the world and reshape the martial arts.

Lord, for your world, I, Akechi Mitsuhide, will have no complaints or regrets even if I am smashed to pieces.
