A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

Chapter 413 16. Calculate the gains and losses of larger positions

"Peach, the daughter of Kogeninden (Ashikaga Yoshiteru), is currently being raised at the Konoe family, and the Ministry of War is looking for a proper place for her to be placed."

Chief Accountant Yamauchi started his career clearly, and Ashikaga Yoshiteru's political legacy is not much, and this daughter is the largest part of it.

When Xiao Pingtai saw it, it was another internal closed-door Standing Committee meeting. Except for Yamauchi Yoshiji, all of them are close ministers, either from the same family or from the same generation.

"If this is the case, I will let the Ministry of War make its own decision. Unfortunately, Hidetoshi (Ms. Nagao) mentioned to me two days ago that the leader of Kasugayama also has a sister."

Yamauchi Yoshiji rubbed his brow and seemed to have already thought about this matter. To be honest, only children make choices, and I want them all!

Who wouldn’t want the daughter of a general or a leader? Now that opportunities are in front of us, it is of course best to seize them all.

But the general's daughter is young? Is the leader’s daughter going to be a child? All impossible. Unless they marry someone from the imperial palace, then forget about being young. Taro Yamauchi's level is so far apart that neither side can agree to be a small one.

There can only be one main wife. If you choose one, you have to give up the other. What a dilemma!

"There is currently no one to take care of the one in the capital, so the Ministry of War has asked. If Monk Jueqing ascends to the throne, the Ministry of War will not be able to make the decision on this matter."

Hosokawa Harumiya did not raise the question of which one to choose, but pointed out that Ashikaga Yoshiteru's daughter was only temporarily fostered in her grandfather's house, because both Ashikaga and Ashikaga Reneda in Kyoto were dead, and there were no other male relatives. rely on.

That's why Settsu Haruto and Hosokawa Fujitaka, who were temporarily staying in the shogunate, were given the opportunity to operate. Now, if Brigitte is placed elsewhere, no one will stand up and make irresponsible remarks.

However, the position of General Zhengyi will not remain vacant for long. No matter which Ashikaga comes to power, no one will let go of the good thing of picking up a daughter who can be used to win over the daimyo.

At that time, Brigitte's future depended entirely on who would be more helpful to the general's future. Love, ethics, and wealth will not be important at that time. What matters is only the interests of helping the general secure his position!

Even if the Yamauchi family is still a loyal minister of the shogunate, a loyal minister among loyal ministers, and the most loyal minister in the world, it is not as important as some big bosses who can send 81,000 troops to Kyoto with just one word.

There is no such shop after passing this village!

"That's the truth, what Harugong said." Yamauchi Yoshiharu nodded, as if you understand me.

This is what a scheming person should look like, taking one step at a time and thinking about the next three steps, thinking about defeat before winning.

Xiaopingtai was still mentally analyzing which one to marry, but she suddenly realized it after hearing what her old father-in-law said. yes! Although it seems that she has a choice now, it is fleeting and Ashikaga Aoi cannot wait like the daughter of the Uesugi family.

This is an opportunity with huge political influence and very high timeliness.

"Tai Lang Dian is already the son of Monk Jue Qing, but I don't know whether Monk Qing can reach the highest level."

It was rare for Hosokawa Saime to speak. What he meant was that whether he chooses Ashikaga Hibiscus depends entirely on Ashikaga Yoshiaki. If he can become a general, marrying Ashikaga Hibiscus is just the icing on the cake. If Ashikaga Yoshiaki cannot become a general, then it is necessary to marry Ashikaga Hikari.

The late father-in-law's mother-in-law, and Ashikaga Rie's son. This would give him a chance to touch Luo Jing's throne, otherwise the identity of Monk Jueqing and Youzi alone would not be enough.

"Monk Kakuei works so actively, contacting the lords of the Eastern and Western Kingdoms, and pleading for support, it may not be impossible." Of course, Koheita would not say that Oda Nobunaga would support him in raising troops to Luo, and he would definitely be able to become a general.

"Prince Hirashima has crossed the river at Settsu and will enter Sakai in the near future. The imperial court has appointed him as Shogo No. 1, Saimatou." Chief Accountant Yamauchi told the new news about Ashikaga Yoshie.

Saimatou is the shogun's starting official position. Taking the position of saimatou means that the procedures announced by the shogun have begun, and Ashikaga Yoshie has already taken the lead.

"Where is Monk Jueqing? Since you have decided to attack the throne, why don't you see any other actions?"

Koheita thought that Ashikaga Yoshiaki was not the kind of brainless person, and he would definitely work hard to make arrangements for himself. In addition, as the younger brother of Ashikaga Yoshiki, he naturally had a close feeling with everyone who stayed in the shogunate. Logically speaking, it can be regarded as having a certain advantage and can preemptively strike.

"No news has come from Kofukuji Temple yet." Hosokawa Harugong left a few people at Kofukuji Temple last time and asked them to send them to the mountain as soon as they got news without delay.

"Then the Ministry of War in Kyoto does not operate for Monk Jueqing?" Xiao Pingtai continued to ask.

"The imperial court seems to hope that Monk Jueqing will fund a partial restoration of the capital. After all, no big name has publicly supported Monk Jueqing yet." Chief Yamauchi shook his head.

Nyoshipi's court favored the monk Kakukei who was in charge of the huge temple property of Kofukuji Ichijoin. At the same time, except for Miyoshi Yoshitsugi's inclined support, no Kinai daimyo publicly supported him. Taking this as a condition, I actually hope to blackmail Monk Jueqing first.

"Even though the Kasugayama leader of Echigo supported Monk Kakuei, he was beyond his reach." Hosokawa Harumiya also shook his head.

"The imperial court is just looking at the direction of the Rokkaku, Takeda, Asakura, and Hatakeyama families." Yamauchi Yoshiharu believed that the reason why the imperial court bullied the weak and feared the strong was because there were not enough supporters of Ashikaga Yoshiaki.

"Miyoshi Wakae alone is weak and unable to enter the capital for the time being. The three of Miyoshi and Matsunaga Kingo are strong and unable to advance to Luo." Isshiki Palace also understood the current situation.

The topic just turned from Taro's future to the prediction of the next general.

"I'm afraid that three good people will come out on top." Mrs. Xiaoping slowly said the conclusion that everyone had guessed but didn't want to say out loud.

"Mr. Hirashima will get what he wants, right before our eyes." Hosokawa Harugong echoed Hiraita.

However, there are many people who became generals and were kicked out of Kyoto. Recently, the fourth and fifth generations of generals have spent less time in Kyoto and more time in other places. After you sing, I will appear on stage, none of them last long.

Whether you can sit still with your butt still depends on the stability of the people who support the general. If Miyoshi Nagakei, the recent overlord of Kinki, is at peace with Ashikaga Yoshiteru, Ashikaga Yoshiteru can stay in Kyoto. If he is hostile to Ashikaga Yoshiteru, then Ashikaga Yoshiteru can only wander out of town.

Going forward, Hosokawa Harumoto, Hosokawa Takakuni, Hosokawa Masamoto, Ouchi Yoshihiro and others, almost every overlord has a general behind him, it is such a reality.

"In this way, even if Lord Hirashima can ascend to the throne, Miyoshi and the others are so unpopular, I'm afraid they won't be able to maintain it for long." Hosokawa Harumiya told everyone.

"I heard that Mr. Pingdao is childless, right?" Xiao Pingtai felt ill-intentioned.

"It is true that he has no children, and his two last brothers also have no children." Isshiki palace understood.

Okay, no need to say anything unnecessary. Once Ashikaga Yoshie cannot sit still, and there are no successors in his lineage. He is so much older than Ashikaga Yoshiaki, and if he kicks his legs, it will not be anyone else's turn to take the lead.
