Pillars of the Wu family

"Greedy shogunate, love money public! Hahaha..." A series of laughter did not have an adverse effect on Odate Qingguang. He followed his father and followed Ashikaga Yoshitsuke to wander outside, and experienced the hardships and hardships of the world. After Hosokawa Takakuni's defeat and death, he replaced his father, Odate Shoshi, and served as a loyal elder who was responsible for the diplomatic affairs of the shogunate. This level of cynicism has long been Not surprised, just quietly waiting for Miyoshi Changqing to make a decision.

In all fairness, he also felt that the price was set too high, but Haruko Odate had no choice. Yoshitoki Kira paid a huge price for the victory. In the financial hole, Ashikaga Yoshitoki fought for the government, and in the end he had to pay the reward out of his own pocket, which made the whole shogunate feel embarrassed by his actions.

Moreover, the shogunate recaptured Kyoto, Ashikaga Yoshito wanted to rebuild Nijo Castle, the Emperor wanted to repair Ouchi Sato, the court’s low-level officials wanted to receive some salaries, and the court always wanted to repair the dilapidated Kyoto. It was only then that the shogunate put their minds to this point. Ashikaga Yoshito and Kira Yoshitoki agreed that after the negotiation was concluded, he would donate a sum of money to the shogunate and the imperial court, and the rest would be used to make up for financial holes and post-war rewards.

It is precisely because of this that the shogunate came up with an expedient measure to raise the price. The purpose was to save a little more savings for the shogunate when compensating Kirayoshi. Will object, no one wants to live through the hard days.

"Don't you want money? Okay! I'll give it to you!" Miyoshi Changqing agreed happily, and then his tone became much colder, "Isn't it possible that Zaemonden came here just to ask for money? If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask." together."

"Yes! The shogunate hopes to exchange the body of His Highness Shihe Yicun and His Highness Miyoshi Changyi in exchange for Katsuryuji Castle, and Miyoshi's family will completely withdraw from the Yamashiro Kingdom, and promise not to invade the Yamashiro Kingdom within ten years." Odate Qingguang threw out When I made a proposal, I kept my eyes on Miyoshi Changqing's expression. Seeing his face darken a little bit, I said something bad in my heart, but I insisted on saying, "His Royal Highness also hopes that Sanzhu can reach peace with the shogunate." .”

"Harmony? Harmony! Do you have to wait for my younger brother to die in your hands before you talk about peace with me? Huh! When did the shogunate change? Let me guess who it is! Is it Hosokawa or Kira? Really A question worth pondering!" Miyoshi Changqing's complexion was black and gloomy, as if dripping water, holding the rosary tightly in his hand, which frightened the retainers of Miyoshi's family not to move.

"His Royal Highness Kira! A member of the government, a famous general of the shogunate! Tsk tsk! You are such an amazing highness, please take me to pay tribute to that highness Kira, the new general!" Miyoshi Changqing held up his teacup to Taiguan Greetings from Sunshine.

Then he drank it slowly, the movement was very slow but it gave people a heavy sense of depression. When he gently put down the teacup, a strong murderous intent suddenly burst out in his eyes, and he shouted in a very low voice: "Not for my brother! Revenge, never make peace with the shogunate! Let that Kira Zuobingweidian wait, the army of my Miyoshi family will enter Kinki soon, see you on the battlefield!"

Daguan Qingguang hurriedly exited the Daguang Room, and when he reached the door, he realized that his clothes were already wet with sweat, wiped off the cold sweat on his forehead, and sighed: "Sanhao Changqing's power is getting deeper and deeper. Thinking about how scary it is now! It seems His Highness Kira is in trouble..."

Not daring to stay any longer, Odate Haruhiko took Miyoshi Changqing's decision and left Akutagawa Mountain City.

While Odate Qingguang was leaving, several warriors pushed a dirty prisoner who was tied up and came to Ohiro. Ise Sadataka said in an emphatic voice, "running away, refusing to save you, colluding with the shogunate, tell me how I should deal with you."

"His Royal Highness Chikuzen! Avoid me! Everything I said is true! I did not collude with the shogunate, and I am loyal to His Highness!" Ise Sadako was covered in mud and weeds, and stayed in the sweltering heat for several days. In the damp dungeon, everyone covered their mouths and noses due to the stench from their bodies. It seemed that they hadn't had a good time recently.

"You didn't collude with the shogunate, why didn't you lose a single soldier? Why did you get back the Akutagawa mountain castle unharmed, but my younger brother died in Fushimihara? You have to remember! Your life is based on my younger brother I bought my life! Today I want to take back the life that belongs to my brother!" Miyoshi Changqing's voice roared like gold and stone colliding, and everyone present knelt down and did not dare to lift their heads even a little bit. Ise Zhenxiao's face was as pale as paper, and her whole body was shaking like chaff.

"Huh? This is the smell of urine! He was scared to pee!" A retainer not far from Ise Zhenxiao said in a low voice.

"What a shame! What's the point of living for a person like him!" Another retainer said disdainfully.

Miyoshi Changqing picked up a silk handkerchief to cover his mouth, and said with a look of disgust: "Pull him down and behead him quickly! Hang his head on the Otemon gate!"

"Yes!" Several samurai carried Ise Sadaka, who was as limp as mud.

Ise Zhenxiao suddenly broke free from the samurai's grasp like crazy, and roared with a ferocious face: "No! No! I am the deacon of the shogunate government! You can't do this to me! Miyoshi Changqing! You rebellious minister! Even if I die! I want to curse you! Curse that your Sanhao’s family will eventually perish! Your Sanhao Changqing will have no children and grandchildren! Hahaha..."

"Bastard! Let me, Ogasawara Chengsuke, understand you now!" A young warrior quickly jumped up, drew out the sword at his waist, and was about to charge over to kill someone. How can it be stained with blood! Drag it outside the gate of Otome before beheading it!"

"Yes!" Ogasawara Chengsuke compelled Ise Sadaka, who seemed to be insane and kept cursing, to leave.

Matsunaga Hideo asked, "How should Sanuki and the Shihe family deal with it?"

"Let Yicun's son-in-law Xiongwangmaru inherit the family name of the Juhe family! Juhe Jingziden will serve as the post-seeker!" Miyoshi Changqing thought for a while, and added: "As for the Sanuki country, I will hand it over to Awa's Yoshiken Take control."

"Yes!"

"Everyone is gone too!" All the officials of the Miyoshi family got up to leave one after another. After everyone left, Matsunaga Hide, who had not moved, said solemnly, "Why did my lord kill Ise Zhenxiao? I, Jiuxiu, can be sure of him." There was no collusion with the shogunate."

"Of course I know that he didn't collude with the shogunate!" Miyoshi Changqing said flatly, but kept his eyes on Matsunaga Hideo, seeing that he had just the right surprise on his face, and said in a flat tone: "I just want to take him It’s just my life, that’s all!”

"It turned out to be like this, it seems that I, Jiuxiu, still can't keep up with the lord's thoughts!" Song Yongxiu suddenly said.

"Hehe, does Jiuxiu still act like this in front of my family?" Miyoshi Changqing didn't seem to be angry, but shook his head helplessly and said, "There must be a reason for Jiuxiu to stay, what else is there?"

"It's still the main hall that knows me Jiuxiu! It's His Highness Mixiu's message, I hope the main hall agrees to make peace with the shogunate." Song Yongxiu respectfully handed over the letter, then went back and sat down again.

"Why did Mixiu's letter get to my family at this time?" Miyoshi Changqing didn't want to worry about Matsunaga Hide's negligence of official duties. He took out the mud-covered letter and narrowed his eyes, "What does Jiuxiu think about this?" ?”

"What the hall thinks is exactly my Jiuxiu's opinion! Jiuxiu still has something to do, so I'm resigning." Song Yongxiu slowly exited the room.

"What a cunning guy." Miyoshi Changqing held a piece of letter paper, threw it on the candle and burned it.
