    The 15th day of August in the first year of Eiroku is the annual Tsukimi Festival. The Nijo Imperial Palace in Kyoto is full of guests. Ashikaga Yoshiki, the great general who conquered the barbarians, held a banquet here and invited hundreds of Manchu ministers and famous martial arts families in the capital.  The courtiers attended the meeting together, and the scene was so grand and spectacular that even the emperor couldn't help but come out and share the peaceful and prosperous time with the courtiers.  The banquet was divided into two parts. The courtiers lived in the main hall, drank and enjoyed dancing, and the ladies lived in the back hall, throwing pots and playing chess and cards. The relationship between Konoe Katsuhime, who had been renamed, and Ashikaga Yoshiteru's wife, Ashikaga Kenko, was very strange.  , Konoe Katsuhime is the adopted daughter of Ashikaga Yoshiharu. Logically, she should be called Ashikaga Kenko's sister-in-law, but Konoe Katsuhime married Konoe Senji and became Ashikaga Kenko's sister-in-law. This special relationship makes them particularly close.  The emperor returned to the Ouchi Palace once he showed up. He neither brought his concubines nor let the middle palace show up. The highest-ranking officials in the palace were Konoe Katsuhime and Ashikaga Kenko. Mrs. Kuga left early because of her old age, leaving them behind.  A group of young and fun-loving aristocratic women gathered together to chat. The noble ladies who were used to flattering the ministers naturally responded neatly and neatly, as if they were acting.  It was late at night and the ladies dispersed. Seeing that the men's banquet would not be over for a while, Ashikaga Kenko took Konoe Katsuhime to his bedroom to chat. The maids brought melons early.  There were snacks and warm sour plum soup, but Konoe Katsuhime drank a full bowl, saying that she loved sweet and sour things the most.  The relationship between the two of them is very complicated, so we just talk about sisters based on their age. Ashikaga Kenko is three years older than her, much older than her brother Kira Yoshi, so it is appropriate to call her sister. In these years, the two of them have been in Kyoto.  Their friendship grew deeper and deeper, and they gradually became close friends. They were also very close relatives, and they were used to fooling around, and they unconsciously brought the topic to some issues that they could not usually talk about.  I saw Ashikaga Kenko complaining with a frown on his face: "Ever since I gave birth to Yunhime two years ago. My stomach has been quiet for the past few years, but recently I don't know why my body has become more and more uncomfortable. Mr. Naoze has seen her several times and said that it is  The cold evil enters the body and needs to be warmed and nourished. After a few prescriptions, it still doesn't get better, but I haven't caught the wind and cold. How can I say that the cold evil has entered the body? " Konoe Katsuhime chuckled and said: "Sister, please.  Take good care of yourself. Your body and bones are more important than your children. Mr. Naoze is right. Only by taking good care of your body can you give birth to healthy children. My sister's children are future generals, so my sister has a very important responsibility to give birth to Gongfangdian in the future!  You're such a fat baby!" "Oh! You're such a clever kid, you're making fun of your sister again!" Ashikaga Kenko smiled and scratched the bridge of her nose, then took Konoe Katsuhime's little hand and caressed her lovingly!  With a small face, he said: "Speaking of which, Sister Katsuko should have a child! My brother is a pedantic person. He is thinking about helping the court and revitalizing the shogunate. But he neglects my poor sister." "Sister.  Don't talk nonsense, His Highness loves Asahi very much, and we love each other every night It's just that Asahi is not feeling well these days and cannot serve His Highness" Konoe Katsuhime quietly leaned over and covered her mouth and whispered.  Said: "Akatsu hasn't received a monthly letter since last month" "Oh! Yes? It's great!" Ashikaga Kenko was as happy as if she was pregnant, looking at this little sister-in-law up and down until she was close.  Wei Shengji's snow-white neck turned red with embarrassment, and she exclaimed: "She is such a beauty that I feel pity for! Not to mention my silly brother, if I were a man, I would also be moved!" "Oh! Sister, you are so beautiful!  What are you talking about" "GiggleOh, don't make trouble" The two women were messing around.  Not to mention how gorgeous the scene is.  At the beginning of the second watch, the banquet in the front hall still showed no sign of stopping. After drinking, Ashikaga Yoshiki waved away the female musicians and said excitedly: "I recently invited a group of miko musicians from Izumo Kingdom to come out.  Yun Aguo's performance in front of Jing Yu is lifelike, please take a look!" "It won't take a while.  A group of people dressed in chihaya and small kiri hakama danced gracefully. The beautiful face of Izumo Oguni, who was born in the sixteenth or seventeenth year of age, and the graceful figure are fascinating. The slender snow-stained feet exposed in the dance made the ministers dizzy and swallowed.  , the song ends gracefully, and the beauty has long disappeared.  Imidegawa Seiki woke up first and praised loudly: "This dance can only be seen in the sky, and how many times can we see it in the human world! Good!" There was a commotion among the military officials present, and they all asked who the sacred country of Izumo was, and they directly asked Ashikaga Yoshi  Hui Le's complacency was so refreshing.  After a while, he said reservedly: "Haha! It's really good, not bad It's getting late, so I'll leave now! But I can't delay your good time!" All the ministers and the Wu family laughed a few times, showing similar embarrassed expressions.  , made a vague promise for a few games and then stood up and resigned. Everyone knew that in the glitzy life in Kyoto, none of them, the noble family, would not cheat. Even unmarried men have experienced the beauty of the gentle countryside.  Those ministers who had wives even kept one or two outside wives.  After all, nowUnlike in the past, the imperial court and the shogunate became more and more generous in spending. The lives of the ministers and the samurai family of the shogunate were getting better and better. Not only did they have enough to eat and live in a good house, but they also had spare money to go shopping outside. The emergence of this large amount of consumption indirectly promoted the recovery of Kyoto.  Today's Kyoto is the best time in the past thirty years.  Ashikaga Yoshiki stood up and sent the guests away one after another, then he lowered his face and asked the attendant: "Then where is Izumo Okuno?" "I would like to report to His Highness, Izumo Okuno's whereabouts are erratic, and I really don't know" Ashikaga Yoshiki was annoyed.  After patting the case for a while, he groaned: "She must still be unwilling to follow Yu! I don't understand, what's wrong with being the maid of my Ashikaga Shogun's family? Even if the child cannot be the heir of the Shogun, as long as I can give it to my relatives to do a job  Adopting a son is not a matter of course? Why is she so stubborn? "It's so disgusting!" "Forget it! Madam, where is she?" "Madam is accompanying Sheng Ji!"  "Princess, I heard from the maid nearby that you two are very happy!" Ashikaga Yoshiki turned around angrily, and finally said bitterly: "Is there no one to accompany me? Let me go to bed!"  At three o'clock in the night, in a quiet courtyard somewhere in the Nijo Imperial Palace, Izumo Okuno quietly appeared in a miko costume. The bright moonlight shone on her cheeks covered with thick foundation, which looked particularly strange, like an erratic female ghost.  It floated quietly and swayed, and soon there was a faint sound of flute all around.  I don't know when a void monk walked out of the dark garden.  The skinny body of the void monk also walked over with strange steps. It was obviously dark night and he was wearing a hat to cover his face, but he calmly avoided the lush flowers. He walked up to Izumo Aguo and looked at it carefully for a long time, and said "ho ho"  Weird laughter: "You are indeed the elite seed cultivated by me. It is indeed right to pass on the name Guoxin Jushi to you! How did you think of using the name Izumo Miko?" It turns out that this Izumo Aguo is actually Guoxin.  Dressed up by a layman.  Her calm little face suddenly showed a lively expression, and she said proudly: "I had an idea, the witch from the Western Kingdom is a good gimmick, how about it? My appearance is not bad, right? Those stupid ministers are so stupid that they don't show up.  The difference between the Yun dialect and the Kyushu dialect is a waste of money for me! Humph!" Guoxin, who was dressed as "Izumo Aguo", wrinkled her little nose with a look of disdain. She had received at least dozens of wolf-like remarks during the banquet.  Eye intrusion.  If she weren't worried about the unpredictable crisis caused by revealing her identity, her temper would definitely teach these sanctimonious guys a profound lesson.  The Void Monk smacked his lips indifferently, and after a while he asked again: "How did you do with the tasks ordered by Song Yongden? Did you take the medicine?" Layman Guoxin curled his lips in boredom, and lifted up his sleeves listlessly.  He shook it off and replied: "It has been inserted into her. She has asked Naoze Michizan to take a look at it several times recently. I wonder if the traces of the drug will be seen through? If it is found that there is something wrong with the drug, it will definitely be  It will cause even greater trouble!¡± The Void Monk said disapprovingly: ¡°You don¡¯t need to worry about this. Even if Naoze Daozan realizes something is wrong, he would probably not dare to say anything about this woman¡¯s disease. What¡¯s more, a male doctor can¡¯t say anything about this woman¡¯s disease.  The effect of the medicine is chronic, and it will only cause some physical discomfort for a while, and it will stop her from having children. "Oh! That's it! Then I'm relieved."  When I went to see the Void Monk, I was cursing in my heart: "This old bastard is so evil! He just likes to do things like annihilating his descendants! Why isn't he dead yet? Die quickly! Bastard!" "Your hidden identity is very good, it's best to win.  The trust of the shogunate has penetrated into his core, and he can control every move of his highness. This will be a good thing for both us and Matsunaga-den" "Master does not want Guoxin to sacrifice.  Is your lust seducing the general?" Guoxin layman sneered: "If you really have this plan, then I can only say don't even think about it. Doing such an immoral thing for you has already stained my hands, so don't even think about it.  If you want me to sacrifice my life to feed the tiger, if you have the ability, you can send someone to sneak in and take my place. I am willing to exit obediently." The void monk was speechless by the girl Guo Xin. After a while, he said in a dark voice:  "It seems that I am still too indulgent towards you! Do you really think that you can be lawless just because you have a few skills? Don't forget that your skills were all taught by me. If you want to go against me, you are asking for self-disgrace.  ! I advise you not to think too much and just follow my instructions. Your benefits will not be short-changed when things are done. If you mess up my affairs, be careful of our pursuit. Even if you hide to the ends of the earth, you won¡¯t be able to escape.  !" "Hey! Don't you know your family background? Your bunch of useless killers have no advantages other than the large number of people.These mountain people are hundreds of times better than you at killing people and stealing intelligence!  " The layman Guoxin was really very sharp-tongued. He spoke softly with a Kyushu flavor and made the Void Monk speechless. After a while, the Void Monk angrily waved his sleeves and said angrily: "No matter what you want, you must take this thing.  It's done, otherwise your parents' safety will be in danger!  Even if you can run to the end of the world, your parents and brothers can't!  " "Scare this princess?  If you kill my parents and brother, I will kill your disciples and grandchildren, and we will break up!  snort!  "The master and apprentice were goring up the ox in the courtyard of Nijo Imperial Palace. The tough Guoxin layman forced the monk into silence. The old monk also understood that he really couldn't control this apprentice. He was almost eighty years old.  People who are still out walking are just to support the useless descendants at home. Unfortunately, his sons caught up in the Funaokayama battle and were all lost in the chaos in Kyoto. Each of his grandsons was useless and no one could inherit his mantle.  Twenty years ago, I finally picked out a talented heir from the common people. I thought I could finally live a comfortable life for a few days. However, this heir died in the war in Kyoto during the Taipingji War and was forced to do so.  The helpless old monk had to go back to his old job to find the girl in front of him and train him carefully. He was afraid of being killed by fire like the previous heirs. A girl with Guo Xin's talent would not be killed so easily.  She is indeed outstanding. She has an astonishing talent at a young age. She can master skills that others have learned dozens of times or hundreds of times but only need one or two times and then review them a few times.  It seems to be similar, and he can also create his own style by making connections. When he was thirteen or fourteen years old, he used all the special skills of the old monk. In recent years, he wandered around the mountains of Koga and Iga for some reason.  He also stole some unique skills from ninjas, which made the old monk feel more and more difficult to control. ¡°Okay, okay!  Are the wings stiff?  I can¡¯t control you anymore, I¡¯ll teach you how to raise an ungrateful thing like you.  It was I who was blind in the first place!  "The Void Monk angrily cursed the girl Guoxin, but no matter how much he scolded, he could not get a response from the girl. He even saw a look of lack of interest in her. "Most of the anger in the old monk's heart suddenly dissipated. Now is not the time to curse her.  If they really pissed off this little girl and ruined their big deal, it would be a terrible situation when both people and money would be lost. After thinking about this, the Void Monk smiled and said: "I just said some angry words, so are you.  Don't take it seriously. The generous profit of ten thousand taels of silver that Song Yongxiu promised us is not a lie. If this happens, we will all benefit. I will not restrict your behavior in the future. After earning this money, I will  It¡¯s time to retire and enjoy peace and quiet. You also know my situation.  You must be able to understand my feelings!  " As he spoke, the Nihility Monk pretended to squeeze out a few tears, but in the dim night, the old monk couldn't see his artificial expression at all. Guo Xin layman curled his lips and sneered, then rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Actually, Guo Xin  I don¡¯t even want to quarrel with Master!  Speaking of which, Guo Xin always felt that there was a flaw in Matsu Nagahide's plan. If according to his plan, Mrs. Konoe might not live a few good years, and the healthy and beautiful woman suddenly died of illness, would His Highness the General not be suspicious?  What if the marriage continues again?  So Guo Xin feels that if we continue to do this, we will probably be trapped.  "What a smart person the Void Monk is. He immediately understood this truth with just a few words from the girl Guoxin. She felt a chill running down her spine and straight to the back of her head. She was so horrified that her whole body was cold. She was shocked and angry. "This Matsunaga  Jiuxiu wants to harm us!  As long as this Mrs. Ashikaga goes, she will definitely arouse the suspicion of interested people.  Click on the picture to find out where we can hide!  Even if you and I escape from danger, the relationship between relatives and friends at home will suffer. This Matsu Nagahide is really a poisonous plan to kill two birds with one stone!  " The old monk has been traveling around the world for decades. He has seen the power of Hosokawa Masamoto and has seen the power of Ouchi Yoshihiro when he went to Luoluo with tens of thousands of tigers behind him. He has experienced countless dangers in the past decades. If it were  A few decades ago, when I met Matsunaga Hide, his plans would have been seen through on the spot. However, as he got older and had many descendants in the family who had no ability to make a living, they were forced to get into the money and do some shady things. As time went by,  It is inevitable that he will become short-sighted, and his vision will become increasingly narrow. If he can't understand after being reminded by this girl, his experience of walking for a long time will be in vain. Matsunaga Hide wants to kill two birds with one stone, and then kills two birds with one stone.  Borrowing the help of the general to get rid of this group of profit-seeking untouchables, maybe they still have the idea of ????squandering these ten thousand taels of silver. If that is the case, wouldn't it be possible for them to kill for Matsushita Nagahide in vain and then jump out to take the blame?  The victim who didn't even get caught! Thinking of this, the Void Monk couldn't help but tremble with anger. He was so angry that he turned to his guts, and he groaned: "This evil thief with a cunning mind!  He didn't even spare us, the criminals who were foraging for food in the strong wind and waves.The viciousness far exceeds my imagination!  Such a vicious warrior must die a good death!  Don't die a good death!  " The Void Monk didn't dare to kill him. He really couldn't get a penny by killing Matsunaga Hide. Besides, he had already been pulled into the water halfway. It would be extremely difficult to turn back. He couldn't run away.  Nobuyaki Yamashiro asked him why he wanted to trap them, that is, he exposed his trump card and even gave away the opportunity to counterattack. This kind of naive and stupid thing is not something a wise man would do. Even if he really ran over to question him, Matsunagahide would never admit it.  This possibility might even be dismissed, saying that they had evil intentions and blackmailed him with things that never happened. At that time, it would be impossible to argue with him. Even if he killed Matsunagahide, he would never be able to break out of thousands of samurai.  In the forest of spears and swords, illusion is a subpar skill after all. When faced with a determined military formation, he has no chance to use it at all. He is an old man who is almost eighty years old and has no ninja skills. He can block a few sticks with a single piece of clothing.  Arrows? And if Matsunaga shows up and they see through this plan, they may immediately become malicious. The Void Monk is not a skilled warrior, let alone whether he can still use the sword at his age.  Self-defense methods cannot escape Matsunagahide's assassination, just like the girl Guo Xin threatened him. His relatives are scattered around Kyoto, and it would be really easy for Matsunaga Hide to find them. "So what Guo Xin means is that this medicine cannot be like this.  Come on, if that lady is really killed, it will be our responsibility.  When the time comes, Matsunaga shows up and refuses to admit his fault, wouldn¡¯t it harm ourselves? Matsunaga just asked the general to have no heirs but did not say whether he could have a child but could not keep it, nor did he say that he could not have a daughter. So what Guoxin meant was that we should stop first.  Medicine, after the woman is pregnant, find an opportunity to check her pulse. You can always find out whether it is male or female after five or six months.  If the baby girl is left alone, wouldn't it be enough to give the baby boy a few doses of medicine as appropriate to ensure that the baby boy lives soon after birth?  " The Void Monk asked unwillingly: "If this is the case, will Matsunaga Hide still pay us?  " "The most I can do is ensure that she won't be able to give birth to a legitimate son within three years, and that she won't be able to survive the birth. If she's still not satisfied after giving him three years, let him find someone else!  Let him send the cramps to the head office in three years!  "The girl Guo Xin was disgusted with his greed and excessiveness, and she persuaded the Nihility Monk without conscience. As expected, the old monk smiled happily and only praised her for her intelligence. She was a rare genius among Guo Xin laymen in the past generations, but she didn't want to pray secretly in her heart.  Said: "I'm sorry, Mrs. Ashikaga, Guo Xin also knows that you are a good person with a gentle and kind temperament, but I'm really sorry that everyone is his own master!  I can only try to save your life and health and the life of your daughter, but there is really nothing I can do for my son"  "In the long months from early spring to midsummer, I experienced the torment of warmth to scorching heat, Hanoi's Gaowa Castle  Finally, Hatakeyama Takamasa couldn't hold on any longer. The castle was hurriedly prepared, and the army was unmotivated and morale was unstable. What's even worse was that last year, because of a conflict with the Yasumi clan, he left Sakai Town in anger. The Takaya Castle was occupied by the Yasumi clan.  After eating and drinking so much, there was not much spare food left, and the city was about to run out of food in July. Since the defeat of Neyagawa, Anmi clan was so useless that he was bullied by Matsushita Nagahide.  Not daring to take the lead is really blinding the thousands of troops in his hands. Hatakeyama Takamasa did several things every day in Takaya Castle. He scolded Miyoshi Chokei, the bastard, Anmi Congfang, the big fool, and he called himself a blind dog.  Seeing the wolf enter the house, scolding Rokkaku Yixian for why he didn't come to save him, scolding the general for not caring about the safety of his family. In short, he no longer has any threatening ability except for talking.  Watching him struggling on the shore, they would never go up to fight against the Sanhao family at this time. It is not impossible to fight against the headwind, but it is definitely not possible in the strong headwind. The great monks of Genlai Temple still have this shrewd calculation. Seeing that they are running out of food.  As a way, Hatakeyama Takamasa cursed Miyoshi Nagakei for not being a human being, and sent Tange Morichi to contact Miyoshi Nagakei outside the city, saying that he knew what a serious mistake he had made, and decided to temporarily go to Sakai Town to recuperate for a while to change his mind.  , but secretly contacted Yuzuo Xinjiao to be stable, believing that one day he would come back with a large army, and prayed that An Jian clan clan would endure the humiliation and bear the burden to save this main force for him in Yamato, and then collect the gold and silver and take them with him  Dozens of attendants covered their faces and fled. Miyoshi Nagakei felt very unhappy when he saw this famous nobleman escaping in such a mess. After all, his Miyoshi family was also a branch of the Awa-Ogasawara clan, and by calculation, it was still the Kahigen clan.  "Famous clan"! Although this "famous clan" is a branch of the Takeda clan branch of the Kai Gen clan and the Ogasawara clan branch, it is still something worth boasting about. I have exchanged letters with Ogasawara Tanemori, the governor of the Ogasawara clan in Kyoto.  The pride in his heart was palpable. When An Jianzongfang saw his lord running away, he was worried that Miyoshi Changqing would turn around and come to Yamato to cause trouble for him, so he simply took advantage of the situation.He quietly sent him back to the Kingdom of Hanoi, and he took a group of personal guards, Hatamoto, to follow his lord in Sakai Town. This idiot would be happy once he ran away to Sanhao Changqing. How could he not be happy if he had to fight one less war?  Everyone would have clapped their hands and applauded. Specifically, when Hatakeyama Takamasa saw this idiot, he had no control over whether he would go crazy and bite him to death or go crazy and strangle him to death.  (To be continued.
