    Ashikaga Yoshito has been in a particularly good mood recently. This has never been a happy day for him since he was a child. Even in his dreams, he would never have imagined that Kira Yoshito could be so powerful. He completely defeated the Miyoshi family no matter by land or water, as if he was the gift  The savior of the shogunate broke Miyoshi Chokei's undefeated record and also broke the curse that the shogunate had to retreat every time it encountered power.  The shadow cast by the Miyoshi family over the capital also receded. Usually people in a good mood will become reasonable, and the same goes for Ashikaga Yoshitš­. In the past few days, he has held a small waka gathering at Jishoji Temple.  Eminent monks such as Tokudera Temple and Myoshinji Temple came to participate in the Japanese singing event. At the same time, ministers such as Konoe Haritsugu, Hirohashi Kunimitsu, and Asukai Masako participated in person.  Not only that, there were also monkey musicians from Omi and Yamato who went to Jishoji Temple to perform sarugakus. It is said that Jishaoji Temple has been brightly lit at night until daytime in the past few days. For the first time, the shogunate's courtiers did not advise him to be diligent and frugal. This shows that these  The miserable minister has been so miserable in the past few decades, and it is not easy to be so excited.  After a few days of excitement, Ashikaga Yoshitš­ soon accepted Kira Yoshitoki's advice and began to prepare to discuss peace issues with Miyoshi Nagakei.  "Winning several games in a row greatly increased his confidence, and he finally had the confidence to sit down and bargain with Sanhao Changqing. It is really not easy for His Highness Gongfang! It is even more difficult for me to be a professional!  " Kira Yoshihi smiled bitterly as a group of unnamed retainers gathered around to ask questions.  This is already the third day after the Kamogawa Water Battle. In the past few days, Yoshitoki Kira has been dragged by Ashikaga Yoshito to attend various events in Kyoto, whether it is singing parties, tea parties, or boating excursions. In addition to these informal occasions  In addition, there was also an audience with the emperor in court clothes. No matter where he went, he would immediately become the protagonist of the event.  Except for the emperor's faint compliments during the court meeting, the senior ministers and lower-level ministers were like tabloid gossip reporters, eager to turn the history of the Kira family upside down. He had to keep smiling at all times, and smile again and again.  After three days, his cheeks were stiff, and he could only complain in a low voice when no one was around: "When will this kind of life end?" Fortunately, the response of the shogunate was swift, and Ashikaga Yoshitš­ sent a senior diplomat  Iatedate Harimitsu went to Akutagawa Mountain Castle as an envoy to discuss the issue of peace between the two sides without war. Of course, they also discussed the redemption of prisoners after the war. The redemption of prisoners is a very important matter and is also the main means for the victors of the war to obtain benefits.  .  If he hadn't been aiming to make money by winning the battle and taking prisoners, Kira Yoshitoki wouldn't have been so desperate. He would have just defeated them and escaped. This would at least save a lot of deaths. At the same time, this was also the strategy Yamamoto Tokiyuki had set with him.  , which is the so-called strategy of promoting talks through fighting. After fighting desperately, it is naturally for the sake of peace talks. It is impossible to fight endlessly and there will always be a time to stop. Therefore, the surname of Odate Harimitsu carries the important strategy of the shogunate and can  How much profit he can earn depends entirely on his words.  In the Akutagawa Mountain Castle, Miyoshi Nagakei is sitting on the main seat. On both sides are the members of the Miyoshi family, and the quasi-first family from Shikoku. Then there are the Nao family members of the Miyoshi family, Matsunaga, Matsunaga.  The Nagayori brothers are the leader, and the last ones are the people from Setsu, Izumi and other countries. Their status is not very high, including the surrender faction Itami Chiyuki.  Two rows of retainers spread out, totaling fifty or sixty people. These people are all people who can speak to the Sanhao family. Each of them controls a territory to fight for the Sanhao family's expedition. Sanhao Changqing is like this group.  As the leader or leader of the alliance, he earns benefits for everyone and increases the prestige of the Miyoshi family. Before setting off, Odate Qingguang already knew about the situation in the Miyoshi family and was not surprised at all.  Miyoshi Yasunaga sat at the top position next to the main seat, because when Miyoshi Yixian and Anzhai Fuyasu were away, Miyoshi Yasunaga was the highest-ranking member of the family. At the same time, he was also the head of the Miyoshi family's family, always kneeling.  Matsuyama Shinsuke, who is not far behind Miyoshi Chokei, is the leader of Miyoshi Chokei's horseback clan. His father, Matsuyama An Yunshou, is Miyoshi Chokei's most trusted general and serves as the flag leader of the Banner Chokei.  "His Royal Highness Zaemon Odate Zaemon is well! After not seeing him for many years, His Highness Zaemon is still as charming as ever. I am so happy to see you again, Nagakei!" Miyoshi Nagakei is a handsome-looking man, and his personality is also good.  He is very elegant, not ruthless and tyrannical at all. He is more like a cultural person. He has a friendly smile and likes Chinese studies, Japanese songs, a little dabbling in tea ceremony and ikebana, and he also has an extraordinary understanding of Buddhism. In short, he  He is a typical cultural person influenced by Kyoto culture.  "Yes! We haven't seen each other for several years!" Oguan Qingguang is already over fifty, a generation older than Miyoshi Changqing who is less than thirty years old. The two have known each other as early as the eighth year of Tianwen.  His father, Odate Shang, once negotiated with Miyoshi Magistrate Miyoshi at Miyoshi Chokei about the power of acting official at the Kawachi Shogunate's Imperial Materials Institute and the Kawachi 17th Anniversary Institute.On behalf of the shogunate, he helped Miyoshi Chokei on the matter of affiliation, and then Odate Harimitsu contacted Miyoshi Chokei on behalf of the shogunate and helped him go to Luo for the first time in the eighth year of Astronomy.  Both of them are very elegant people, so they talked about the past in a calm and calm manner. They didn't stop talking until they lasted for half an hour. Miyoshi Changqing was thinking about Taiguan Qingguang's bargaining chips.  Tate Harimitsu was also secretly observing the movements of Miyoshi's retainers. He had already noticed the slightly impatient expressions on some of them, and said to himself: "It should start now!" Sure enough, after a moment of silence, Miyoshi Nagakei gradually brought the topic to Kyoto.  Due to the recent changes, Odate Harmitsu, as the envoy, also led him to the main topic. When he heard that the shogunate intended to let the Miyoshi family redeem the defeated Shikoku people, Miyoshi Nagakei's expression changed.  Human hunting has always been an unspoken rule in troubled times. Defeated prisoners are captured and sold as slaves. However, as a martial artist, there is a code of conduct. Usually, only defeated soldiers are hunted without harming their wives and children, and the price is set.  It is usually very low, usually one person can redeem it for dozens of pennies, and some defeated soldiers can allow the original family they designate to redeem it. Only a few people will break this unspoken rule.  For example, Takeda Harunobu two years ago, in the 16th year of Astronomy, during the Battle of Odaihara, the Ueno people who defeated Uesugi's constitutional government also attacked Kasahara Kiyoshige of Shiga Castle, and made all men, women, and children in Shiga Castle slaves.  For sale, both men, women, and children are sold at a high price of up to ten thousand dollars. Such a high price also eliminates the possibility of redemption by their relatives, and those poor people who cannot be sold can only be sent to Jinshan.  Become a mining slave.  Miyoshi Nagakei naturally knew very well about this matter, so when he heard that the shogunate wanted him to redeem the people of the four countries, he immediately realized that someone in the shogunate had a sinister idea, and his intention was nothing more than to blackmail his Miyoshi family.  A sum of money, otherwise why would the envoys of the shogunate be so anxious to raise the issue of ransoming prisoners.  He stared at Otate Seiko with a gloomy expression. This loyal elder had experienced great storms after all. He had seen the world-famous Ouchi Yoshihiro in Kyoto when he first served in the Yuan Dynasty. Compared with the self-centered image of the heroic leader of the Ouchi family,  Miyoshi Chokei's momentum was still a little lacking. A cold gaze met the gentle gaze. After the two sides looked at each other for a long time, Miyoshi Chokei shook his head and said, "Tell me, how much is the price offered by the shogunate."  , each warrior has ten guanwen, and the senior warriors have ten times to fifty times. There are more than 3,000 people in the four countries, a total of 23,000 guanwen." Odate Qingguang said calmly.  "Hiss!" All the important ministers of the Miyoshi family took a breath, and Izawa Yamato Mamoru said angrily: "This is blackmail! This is an act that is disgraceful to a samurai! How could the shogunate do such a dishonorable act? Is it possible that the public  Did His Highness also get into the copper plate?"
