    Until there was another burst of sonorous roar, the gunpowder smoke slowly rose up, and the thick white smoke covered everything in sight. Waving away the iron cannon team just gave the hot iron cannon a chance to cool down for a while. Without cooling, the iron cannon could not continue to be loaded with gunpowder.  , otherwise it will easily cause the danger of spontaneous combustion of gunpowder.  The faint screams coming from the imperial palace became smaller and smaller, and suddenly he realized that he had made a very stupid mistake without knowing it. He used the noble general in the imperial palace as a target and opened fire violently, probably because he was dissatisfied with his lack of courage.  Fat, risking the lives of the shogunate to show his great bravery.  Miyoshi and the other three looked gloating, and loudly mocked him for daring to attack the general in the imperial palace. Ashikaga Yoshiaki was so frightened that he trembled all over, jumped down from the shoulder carriage in a rolling state, pointed at Matsunagamichi and shouted angrily:  : "You, you, youdon't you know who is in this Chang's Palace? You are trying to frame me for righteousness and injustice!" Song Yongdong's face suddenly turned pale as paper, and he knelt on the ground and bowed his head in silence.  After hearing the news, Matsuhisa Nagasaki saw that the situation was not good, and quickly knelt down and begged: "His Royal Highness is protected by the gods and Buddhas. I believe there will be no danger. I will ask His Highness to come out as soon as possible."  It's going to rain soon. " "Yes! We must ask our brother out of the palace as soon as possible" Ashikaga Yoshiaki raised his head and looked at Chang Yusho in a hurry. Suddenly, his eyes widened and he stood motionless, panting violently for a long time.  Pointing at the black smoke rising from the roof of Chang Yushuo, he said with difficulty: "The Imperial Palace is on fire How could the Imperial Palace be on fire! Hurry up go put out the fire!" "Oops! His Highness Gongfang is trying to harm himself! Hurry and save others.  "Matsuhisa panicked and shouted to wake up the shocked Miyoshi family: "Why are you still standing there? Go and put out the fire!" "Haha!"  The ashigaru dropped their weapons and frantically searched for tools to put out the fire. However, the imperial palace was in a mess as the flames of war swept through the courtyard. In their eagerness, they couldn't even find a single tool they were used to. The Miyoshi Army was running around in circles.  When Matsunaga Hide saw the flames rising from the roof, the helpless Miyoshi family samurai looked frustrated and annoyed and acted helpless. He got angry and stepped forward to push the samurai out of the way.  He cursed bitterly: "Pull the battering ram over and hit the door! Break the door open and save people!" At this moment, smoke was billowing in the palace and fires were everywhere. The remaining people in the palace fell to the ground. Most of them were killed just now.  He died in the iron cannon bombardment, and the sudden volley of iron cannons hit the imperial palace by surprise. Mibuchi Fujihide was killed on the spot, and Hitoshi Yoshinaga's calf was broken.  In extreme pain, he committed seppuku. Settsu Harumon's legitimate son, Settsu Itochiyomaru, also died. He lined up in front of Ashikaga Yoshiteru as a wall of flesh and blood, using his tender body to buy Ashikaga Yoshiteru a brief respite.  Isshiki Tengchang lay on the ground and panted fiercely, blood spurted out from his nose, and a pool of blood on his chest had stained his clothes red.  Ishitani Mitsumasa held his ribs and stabbed his abdomen, making an oblique cross. His intestines were crushed and blood spurted out. He shed tears from the severe pain. Ishitani Mitsumasa suddenly yelled: "Your Highness, I, Mitsumasa, will go first!"  " Seeing his companions passing away one by one, Isshiki Tengaga's eyes shed tears of reluctance, and he gasped for air in the smoke-filled Changyu Palace.  Until he breathed his last breath, there were only two people still alive in Tsukigosho, one was Settsu Haruto who was slightly injured, and the other was Ashikaga Yoshiteru who was seriously injured.  Ashikaga Yoshiki sat back upright in pain while holding the gunshot wound in his abdomen. He leaned on his ribs with one hand and pushed Settsu Haruto open. He said intermittently: "I can't survive I hate beheading I don't want to die."  The whole corpse please throw my corpse into the fire! I came here with a clean body and I will leave with a clean body" "I understand!" Settsu Harukata couldn't help but burst into tears.  He knelt down and propped himself up on the ground, bowing his head and said, "I will never let His Highness's body be humiliated, never!" There was a dull thunder and dark clouds gathered.  A small gap opened in the specially reinforced gate of the Imperial Palace, revealing some scenery outside the Imperial Palace. Ashikaga Yoshiki raised his ribs and stabbed them down. The next moment, blood suddenly appeared. Ashikaga Yoshiteru endured the severe pain and clenched his ribs tightly.  With a sudden stroke, blood spurted out of his mouth.  "Genji's thousand-year dream is shattered, and the pure fire burns away the evil in the world. The drizzle of May is like tears, and I wish to send my name to the sky." Ashikaga Yoshiki panted fiercely, staring at the door with wide eyes as it was finally knocked open, slowly  He slowly lowered his head and took his last breath.  The Miyoshi family samurai who broke in saw the house full of corpses, with broken swords scattered all over the floor.  A large area of ??tatami was dyed red with blood. Several well-dressed samurai either committed seppuku or lay quietly in the corner. The bright red tongue of fire quickly spread and quickly devoured several dead bodies in the corner. Such a tragic scene made them collectively stunned.  live.  Settsu Haruto knelt beside the shogun from beginning to end without raising his head. When he took his last breath, he cried loudly: "Your Highness, don't be anxious. I will take you away with you now. This is the end"Let's go!  " Under the watchful eyes of the Miyoshi family samurai, Settsu Harumon picked up the body of Ashikaga Yoshiteru and walked slowly to the blazing fire cave. He disappeared after a while. Matsunaga Hide squeezed through the crowd with difficulty and glanced around the palace.  With dead bodies and blazing fire all over the ground, he hurriedly asked: ¡°Where is His Highness Gongfang?  ah?  Where is His Royal Highness?  " "His Royal Highness committed seppuku and committed suicide and then a warrior carried the body and walked in there.  "    "ah!  What did you say?  Why didn't you stop him?  Why don't you die together!  "Matsuhisa Nagahide pulled out his sword and gave the samurai a serious blow, kicked him into the fire, raised the blood-stained sword and cursed: "Find the body of His Highness Gonggao immediately, no matter whether he is dead or alive, you must see it!  It¡¯s impossible to live without seeing you!  ¡± The Miyoshi family samurai was now panicked, staring at the terrifying scene like a fire cave in the imperial palace. They did not even dare to enter the door, let alone find the body. Miyoshi Masayasu squeezed in and shouted to find someone. He learned that Ashikaga Yoshiteru had already  Dying in the fire cave, his son was scolded by Matsunagahide to die, and he suddenly felt unhappy. "The person who forced His Highness to death was your stupid son Matsunagahide, why should I, the son of the Miyoshi family, do that to you.  A stupid son will die for his stupidity. If you have the ability to go in, go into the fire cave by yourself. Don't drag the good man from my Sanhao family. This matter is not our business. Everyone, follow me!  "Miyoshi Masayasu pulled all the people away without saying a word, leaving Matsunaga's delicate body shaking and cursing. Ashikaga Yoshiaki no longer wanted to sit on the shoulder cart and enjoy the blessings. When he learned that his brother Ashikaga Yoshiteru had violently committed suicide,  In the end, he was unwilling to give the Zen position to his younger brother. He was resentful and angry. He paced back and forth in front of the burning imperial palace and cursed Ashikaga Yoshiki for his stubbornness and unwillingness to die.  It's ridiculous to bow your head. Everyone is dead, and there is no point in continuing to rescue. Miyoshi and the other three people were a step ahead and ran to the corner with oil on their soles. Miyoshi Yoshitsugi also found an excuse to go outside to treat the wounded. Ashikaga Yoshiaki was furious.  Walking back to Kagami, he saw a group of samurai escorting a dozen women from the corner. The sharp-eyed Ashikaga Yoshiaki saw his mother Keijuin and yelled: "You despicable samurai, why don't you go away."  Come on, how dare you disrespect Yu¡¯s mother!  " "I'm not waiting for anything, absolutely not" Several Miyoshi family samurai hurriedly put away their swords, and in a blink of an eye they all got into the crowd to hide from their crimes. Ashikaga Yoshiaki looked around and found that Matsunaga Hide ran to put out the fire without knowing where he was. Hate  His teeth were itching and he hurriedly stepped forward to apologize: "Mother, the child is a step too late!  You suffer!  " Kejuin looked at the young man who looked exactly like Ashikaga Yoshiteru. He said, "You are Kakukei!  "    "yes!  The child has not seen his mother for many years and misses her so much" "A poor nun does not have a son who kills his brother and kills his king. Go away!  I don't want to see you again!  "As if he had seen a ghost, Keijuin walked a few steps away from Ashikaga Yoshiaki. Ashikaga Yoshiaki did not expect that he would encounter such an embarrassing invitation, but it made him look ashamed and embarrassed.  The future general was shunned by his mother in such a sly way, in front of the public. Ashikaga Yoshiaki was so angry and depressed that he simply didn't respond warmly.  Cold buttocks, he let his mother walk step by step to the standing palace with blazing flames, but unexpectedly Qingshouin cried out sadly: "Yihui!  You finally left Now that you are gone, I will have no regrets in this life. It¡¯s time to go down and accompany your father" After saying that, Qingshouyuan jumped into the sea of ??fire, and in the blink of an eye he was gone.  Swallowed by the boiling flames, Ashikaga Yoshiaki was stunned when he saw his mother disappearing into the sea of ??fire. Then the maids serving Kejuin jumped into the sea of ??fire one after another, making the scene completely out of control.  What is this for!  What to do!  Are we going to line up to die together?  "Seeing his mother jumping into the sea of ??fire without any regrets, Ashikaga Yoshiaki was so stimulated that he went insane. He stumbled back to his shoulder and shouted: "Go!  Let¡¯s all go!  If you want to die, die quickly!  I don¡¯t want any of my brother¡¯s family members or maids!  Let's all die!  " The samurai of the Miyoshi family were in disarray. After hearing what Ashikaga Yoshiaki said, they gave up the plan of restraining the remaining maids, so the maids captured from all directions lined up to jump into the sea of ??fire. No one even uttered a word to beg for mercy.  Or they are cowardly and unwilling to die. These people have many origins and are very diverse. Some are samurai who have served as shoguns for generations, and some are just ordinary maids. They are grateful for the kindness of the Ashikaga family and are willing to die in return.  There was a scene of everyone lining up to jump into the sea of ??fire. Among the people who died, the oldest was an old samurai in his seventies, and the youngest was a cute little girl of eight or nine years old. She was a maid serving beside the attendant, and the representative of the family.  Daito was a retainer of the Muromachi shogunate's family, and the little girl was dyingShe asked her mother fearfully: "The flames are so hot, will it hurt if I jump in?" Her mother smiled slightly, hugged her and said, "Although it is very hot, but my mother is here, just bear with it and it will be fine."  The girl nodded obediently, and just like that, a family of seven, old and young, walked hand in hand into the sea of ??fire to be buried. Before they died, their eyes were clear and their expressions were calm, without any fear at all, as if they were happily yearning for something beautiful.  Jumping into the sea of ??fire with the piety of a pilgrim, without any hesitation from beginning to end.  Even Ashikaga Yoshiaki's sister-in-law, the little attendant with a big belly, stumbled to the front of the palace that turned into a sea of ??flames at this time, and cried loudly: "Your Highness! I am incompetent, I can't keep an heir for you, I am  Let¡¯s take our children and go to the underworld to find you¡± The more than a thousand warriors of the Mihaoshi family were completely dumbfounded. The timid warriors were shaking like chaff. Some of them rolled their eyes and fainted, and some were so scared that they peed their pants.  They all leaked out, and Matsunaga Hide was so frightened that he trembled and said with a grimace: "Hundreds of people in Nijo Imperial Palace were killed. This is really a big incident." Ashikaga Yoshiaki was frightened.  He hugged his head and huddled in his shoulder bag, repeating in his mouth: "If I ask you to die, you will dieWhy don't you surrender when I ask you to surrender? My brother looks down on me, my mother looks down on me. Every one of you looks down on me."  Whywhy are you treating me like this? I am a direct descendant of the Ashikaga Shogun family!" Ashikaga Yoshiaki's childhood memories are always of the towering old trees of Ichijoin. When he was just born, the shogunate was very sad. Ashikaga Yoshiharu had many times.  He quarreled with Hosokawa Harumoto, and reached peace several times with the mediation of Rokkaku Sadeyori, so he ran back and forth between Kyoto and Sakamoto all day long. As the legitimate second son, Ashikaga Yoshiaki was placed in the Konoe family to be raised.  According to the rules of the shogunate, he decided early on to become a monk.  When I was five years old.  Taking advantage of Ashikaga Yoshiharu's return from Sakamoto for another vacation, he presided over a ceremony in Kyoto to confirm Ashikaga Yoshiaki's identity as the son of his grandfather Konoe Shoichi, and then he was sent to Kofukuji Temple Ichijoin as the son of the Konoe family.  He became a monk on behalf of the family. After so many years, he only came back once in the year when Ashikaga Yoshiharu died of illness. He left before he had a chance to say a word to his mother, Keijuin.  Since he was a child, he has never enjoyed even one day of fatherly and motherly love, and has developed the extreme character of Ashikaga Yoshiaki.  Perhaps this has something to do with the inheritance of the Ashikaga family. His temperament is very similar to Ashikaga Yoshiteru more than ten years ago, the same stubbornness and paranoia, but his character is more narrow-minded and lacks Ashikaga Yoshiteru.  His strong opinions have always caused him to be full of envy, jealousy and hatred towards his elder brother Ashikaga Yoshiki, who is loved by all.  This caused Ashikaga Yoshiaki to rather listen to the slanders of the Miyoshi trio and Matsunagahide than to believe what his brother Ashikaga Yoshiki said.  He always thinks that he is the one who holds the truth, while his elder brother represents ignorance. He feels that the benevolent people in the shogunate should wake up and bow to him when they see him, while Ashikaga Yoshiki should retreat bravely and hand over the throne of the shogun in time.  Ashikaga Yoshiaki's bun was torn open, and he shouted with disheveled hair: "In the end, every one of you betrayed me! My brother is like this, my mother is like this, and you guys are just like this. How dare you be so brave?  Damn it! I know you all look down on me and would rather die than obey my orders. Damn it! " "Boom Boom!" A bright lightning flashed across the dark sky.  In the short light of the world, almost every samurai saw Ashikaga Yoshiaki's ferocious and terrifying expression, and this unforgettable memory was forever engraved in the deepest part of his heart.  Suddenly, a drop of rain fell on Ashikaga Yoshiaki's face.  The cold stroke of ice crossed his cheek, and Matsunaga Hide couldn't see it very clearly. When he struck it carefully, another bolt of lightning pierced the night sky the next moment, and Ashikaga Yoshiaki's face was already covered with tears.  He cried, crying like a child.  The little raindrops quickly turned into dense raindrops, and in a moment they connected into a line of rain as if falling from the sky, overwhelming the Miyoshi soldiers in the imperial palace. The torches were extinguished, and the blazing fire was slowly extinguished. Time has passed  Unknowingly, at the second watch of the day, the three good troops, who had nothing to ask for and gained nothing, slowly retreated.  Matsuhisa Nagahide, soaked inside and out by the heavy rain, was in a state of embarrassment. He trudged hard on the potholes and muddy ground, and slowly walked to Ashikaga Yoshiaki. He knelt down in the puddle without hesitation and said, "Please give your highness to the King of Islam."  Gokokuji Temple, let¡¯s rest! It¡¯s not too late to deal with everything tomorrow!¡± Ashikaga Yoshiaki stood in the heavy rain and stared blankly at the gradually extinguished Tsugosho, his whole body had been soaked in a mess, and he wiped his face.  The rain said feebly: "I'm fine, I just want to wake up for a while, don't worry about me" Matsunaga Hide-shin said that you have a delicate body and you can ignore the torture of this illness.?But as an old man, I have to stand with you in the rain and get tired even at my old age. If I really get sick from the shower, I will be asking for trouble. His son, Matsunaga, has caused such trouble and I don¡¯t know how to clean up the whole thing.  , at this juncture, if he fell on the bed and couldn't get up for a few months, he could give the white-haired person to the black-haired person.  So he had to resort to scaremongering and said: "His Royal Highness is about to enthrone. If he gets sick from the heavy rain at this moment, it will delay the enthronement ceremony. It will be a trivial matter, but it will be worse if he gets a serious illness such as typhoid fever."  It's a big deal!" Ashikaga Yoshiaki thought about it. He cried and confessed. It was not a problem to continue to stand in the rain. What if he contracted an ancient difficult disease such as tuberculosis and typhoid?  , if it can't be cured in a short time, the root cause of the disease may fall, and the body will completely collapse. In vain, Ashikaga Gitoki, so he coaxed him back to the shoulder room again, and the army returned to Toji Temple.  A heavy rain washed away the filth that Nijo Imperial Palace suffered that day, but it could not cover up the embarrassment of a once glorious life destroyed by fire. The bodies of Ashikaga Yoshiteru, Keijuin and others still remained in the ruins of the smoke.  How could the responsible Sanhao Army brave the heavy rain in the dark night to clean up the mess?  Ashikaga Yoshiteru, the 13th shogun of the Muromachi shogunate, the 12th shogun Odaisho, the daughter of the late former Sekishiro Konoe Naomichi, the sister of the former Sekishiro Konoe Ine family, and the current aunt of the current Sekishiro Konoe Maekyu  The corpses are placed in this inconspicuous pile of ruins. This inconspicuous place has ruined the lives of countless loyal ministers and good generals, buried the blood expectations of more than ten generations, and the essence of the Muromachi Shogunate's bloodline has come to an end at this moment.
