Pillars of the Wu family

The news of Ashikaga's death is really hard to hide, not to mention that there are insiders in Miyoshi's family who deliberately leaked the situation, and there is also information about Izumo Akuni's walks without anyone noticing, just say Ashikaga's big fanfare It is not appropriate to come to Shenglong Temple City and then disappear so quietly. Even if the cats and dogs in the family die, it will be a long time to feel distressed, let alone the future general who is currently serving as the Hirashima government.

I don't know if anyone has recognized that the person who ran out to play just after arriving at Katsuryuji Castle is Ashikaga's foster relative. Anyway, Miyoshi Yoshitsugu came out to play with an unknown samurai, and he was bound to be seen by others. Going to the castle town to play is two A living person leaves, and a living person returns with a dead person, and after a little deliberation, something is wrong.

The news can't be hidden, the consequences can be imagined how bad it is, there is a mystery about the riots and murders in Toka City in Kyoto, the truth is revealed so quickly here, Ashikaga's foster relative is the one who was punished by gods and Buddhas to death Unlucky ghost, now people suddenly shut up and dare not laugh, because some people have already noticed that the situation is not good.

No matter how terrified people are in Kyoto, at least it is not good for the Miyoshi family. As Matsunaga Hideo has described several times, the arrow has to be fired on the string, or it is said that the arrow that leaves the string has long been unable to be retrieved. I know that most of these three good families are not doing things that are not done by humans.

Hosokawa Masato, who was bullish back then, did something that was not a joke. He was not happy. After more than ten years, the dispute between the three adopted sons was affected. Hosokawa Sumyuki, who was born as a public servant, joined several courtiers to chop him up as a godfather. Some optimists in Kyoto said that Miyoshi Yoshitsugu might have to be chopped up one day, and Miyoshi Yoshitsugu was wronged and angry.Blocking arrows for the Miyoshi trio and Song Yongxiu for no reason.He was even less willing to participate in the muddy waters in Kyoto.

The genealogy retainers headed by Miyoshi Yasunaga's faction put on a posture of resolutely parting ways.The decision of the three good people added a serious crisis. Song Yongxiu found that he had been busy for several months doing things in vain. There were only 5000 people in the [-] army of the three good families. All the opposition parties expressed their reluctance to wade too deep, and they are still fighting alone inside and out.

Now it's the turn of the Miyoshi trio and Matsunaga Hideo to be in a hurry. Ashikaga's stepfather died without a shield, so how can he go to Luo to abolish the general? Previously, he described this trip to Luo as imminent, and it means that they have no way out. Let a few people discuss and make a decision Come up with a workaround and then get a general heir.There are still a few spare tires available anyway.

The first candidate is Ashikaga Yoshisuke, the younger brother of Ashikaga's foster relative. Speaking of which, this person is very suitable to inherit his brother's position and continue to move forward. However, the current problem is that the power of rumors is too strong, and he has just returned to the Apopirajima Imperial Palace. Ashikaga Yoshisuke's legs and feet were weak from fright, he was afraid that he would be like his brother in the past, so he moved his head.

His elder brother died without leaving any heirs. He just got married and has no heirs. The third brother Ashikaga Yoshihito did not even marry his wife at such a young age. In such a crisis, it is better to live than to die.Of course, he himself didn't want to die from the bottom of his heart.

When he dies, he will have to work so hard to give up the position of the Pingdao government to his younger brother, and maybe he will also give his wife who is as beautiful as a flower to his younger brother for free.He will cry to death in the underworld. Ashikaga Yoshisuke is unwilling to come, and he will not let his younger brother go to "send his death". The reason is very simple. far send.

If you don't cooperate firmly, you can't tie people there, not to mention the risk and bad impact of doing so, just say that the territories of Miyoshi Sanren and Matsunaga Hideo are all in Kinai, and the Hirashima government is located in the Hirashima Imperial Palace in Awa Country , that is the core territory of Miyoshi Yoshiken's eldest son, Miyoshi Changzhi. If they go to arrest people, isn't it just giving them a handle, maybe they will be caught by the pigtails of the three brothers of the four countries and their old face will be swollen.

After thinking about it, he decided to take the risk and take the two younger brothers of the shogunate. One of Ashikaga Yoshiki's two younger brothers was Jueqing who practiced at the gate of the Ichijo-in Temple of Yamato Kofuku-ji Temple, and the other was Zhou who was the head of the deer garden at the head of the Xiangguo Temple. Hao, the former is far away from the direct stream, while the latter is close to the common stream, which makes it a little difficult for them to deal with.

Li Di or Li Shu, the Miyoshi Trio disagreed with Matsunaga Hideo, and the Miyoshi Trio decided to choose Zhou Hao of the Luyuan Temple in the Kinkakuji Temple in the north of Kyoto. Jueqing of Xingfu Temple is safer, since he is just a puppet anyway.

Song Yongxiu advocated the establishment of the shogunate immediately, and chose Jueqing to deal with the scumbag Zhou Hao. The reason was that the shogunate was more legitimate and could further win the support of the shogunate. After all, their original intention was to abolish the general's executive power. Accepted by the samurai family, the Miyoshi family does not have such a high prestige to imitate Hosokawa Masatoshi's daring Li Shuliu.

Another very important point is Yamato Kingdom, which happens to be under the control of Hideo Matsunaga at this time. You can board a boat near Kofuku Temple and pass Kizu River, Yodo River, and Katsura River to Katsuryuji Castle. The time it takes to go back and forth There may not be much delay. The Xingfu Temple in Nandu will bring you a lot of monks. Jueqing is neither the abbot nor the head of the hospital. Qingsheng is hiding safely.

On the contrary, Luyuanyuan is adjacent to the outside of Kyoto and is at the farthest end from Shenglong Temple City. Secondly, after the war, there are only dozens of monks left in Luyuanyuan. It is actually not easy to hijack the master of the first house unconsciously, it is easier to trick Jueqing out of Xingfu Temple secretly.

The three good people think back and think that there is no better choice. Zhou Hao of the Deer Garden Court is really not easy to do it in the public in Kyoto. If the hijacking fails, it will be embarrassing. It was Song Yongxiu who was willing to do it. Ichijoin Jueqing was in the hands of Song Yongxiu. If he didn't want to deal with these three good people, there was really nothing he could do about him.

One of the two brothers is always going to die, one is Zhou Hao, whom neither of them has grasped, and the other is Jueqing, whom Song Yongxiu is sure to win, and considering the difference between the two points of respect, the three good and the three good are decisive. Agree with Song Yongxiu's opinion, and urge him to act as soon as possible, lest Ye Changmeng will make a big mistake.

In the evening of that day, the deer garden was quiet and peaceful. Zhou Hao had eaten the fast meal early to prepare for the evening class. A simple cycle of sweeping temples, reading and studying ancient books, drinking tea and meditation, fasting meals, evening classes, and resting. There are two meals a day, no more, no less, a bowl of white rice, a miso soup, a little kelp, and a little pickled vegetable.

Zhou Hao chanted sutras silently for a while, and noticed the figure moving back and forth outside the door gently shaking his head and ignoring him. After a while, he got up and pushed open the door after reciting a section of Buddhist scriptures, and asked the novice outside the door: "Jizhu, don't you go late?" Class, what's the matter lingering outside the door?"

"Ah! Temple... the master!" Jisuke trembled in fright, hurriedly bowed and stammered and replied: "Just now...the envoy from Kyoto wanted to see the master..."

Zhou Hao asked strangely: "What happened to Jizhu today? He was flustered and disorganized. Did the messenger say anything?"

"No... I didn't say anything, I just said that the master will know when he passes by." Jisuke swallowed hard, lowered his head cautiously and glanced with the corners of his eyes, and found Zhou Hao's eyes twitched, subconsciously clenched cuff.

"You are really strange today. Could it be that you are sick?" Zhou Hao raised his hand to touch his forehead, but Jisuke dodged him, and said in a panic, "Master, please go there as soon as possible! That messenger must have been waiting urgently." gone."

Zhou Hao stared at Jisuke who was behaving strangely, as if 1 years had passed before slowly nodding his head and saying: "That's good! I heard that there are troubles in the capital city, and I don't know how things are going with my brother... Lead the way ahead !"

Under the leadership of Yoshisuke, he walked out of Luyuan Yard and walked along the path leading to the Kamo River. When he saw a samurai standing in the river waiting, Yoshisuke stepped forward and said anxiously: "Hirata and Izumi are guarding the hall. I have brought, my share of..."

Hirata and Izumi Mamoru seemed surprised by Yoshisuke's reaction, angrily snorted and said in a low voice, "It's not finished yet! What's the rush?"

"You are the emissary of the shogunate? Why have I never seen you?" Zhou Hao suddenly stopped and asked in surprise, "Jisuke! Do you know him?"

Jisuke stammered in denial: "I...I don't know him..."

"Then what did you say to him when you walked over to him just now? Tell me, is there something you're hiding from me?" Zhou Hao stared at his surname who had followed him for many years, his eyes full of suspicion and dissatisfaction.

Hirata and Izumishou saw that the situation was not going well, coughed dryly and said, "Come down and answer His Highness Zhou Hao's question! I am a new member of the shogunate, and I have something important to report to His Highness Zhou Hao, and I just resorted to some tricks to ask this lucky assistant to help invite Zhou Haodian. "

"Is that so?" Zhou Haowu turned around and stared at Hirata and Izumishou in disbelief, hesitating for a moment and asked with deep meaning: "Since it is my brother's new attendant, I must often go in and out of the imperial palace! I will definitely see you in my brother's sword room." Yes! Speaking of which, I, Zhou Hao, have been away from home for a long time, and I haven’t seen my brother practice swords with famous ancestral swords for a long time. I don’t know if the famous knives at home are sharp, can Izumishou tell the poor monk?”

Hirata and Izumi Mamoru were suddenly stunned by the question, hesitated for a while and said dryly: "Hehe...very sharp, very sharp...His Highness Gongfang's swordsmanship is also very powerful, I admire it very much!"

Standing by the river, Zhou Hao looked at the gurgling He Mao River in the afterglow of the setting sun, and asked inadvertently, "So that's the case...then the Changyu Palace hasn't changed its direction? Is the gate still open to the west?" (To be completed continued..)
