    On November 17, the eleventh year of Yonglu (1568), the inner palace of Kyoto was solemn and solemn. Today is the day when the year-end court meeting begins. The two court meetings at the beginning and end of each year are rare events in the court. Here,  God's ministers must dress up in attire to attend the court meeting in accordance with ancient customs. Even though the specific significance of the court meeting is no longer great, this set of rules is still passed down and the etiquette and law cannot be neglected.  In fact, the ministers at the court meeting did not have much to do. They just praised the emperor for his rule, and the peace and tranquility in the world. The ministers praised the beauty of the times with their words. The court was even better, but the Wu family was not very peaceful. Kyoto has been a little uneasy recently, okay.  After His Highness the Shogun returned and restored all order to normal, he just praised Ashikaga Yoshiaki in a different way. It was very helpful to make this person smile happily. He turned to the side and whispered to the attendant to write down the names of these ministers, so that they can take a good look at them in the future.  reward.  Kujo, the Konoe who had removed Sekiba and was allowed to retain only one inside view, was sitting next to the current Sekiwa Nijo Haruyoshi. To his right was Nijo Haruy身's eldest son Kujo Kanetaka. The two of them sang in perfect harmony.  Just sarcastically satirize him, but there is no minister in Guan's family who can help, and the party members in the court have been demoted and have lost their former glory.  Faced with Nijo Haruyoshi's aggressiveness, Konoe Maekaku had no choice but to give in. In the past few months, the mourning period has been almost in seclusion. Since Ashikaga Yoshiaki came to power, political enemy Nijo Haruyoshi suddenly raised his head and attacked him.  Eku Zenkyu, the brother-in-law of the former general, has become a thing of yesterday. Ashikaga Yoshitoki, whom he is most proud of, is far away in Kanto. He has lost his last foothold.  Behind the curtain, the emperor handed over the imperial edict from his chamberlain, and the courtiers knew that the most exciting moment of the year had arrived.  Nijo Haruyoshi bowed and stood at the foot of the steps holding the edict in both hands.  He raised his voice and said: "The pardon is announced. Yoshiaki, Ashikaga Sasumatou Yoshiaki, the court minister of the source, moved to the three ministers and said that he should be the general of the conquest of barbarians!" Hearing this, the ministers smiled happily and showed such expressions that every year the court  The pardon orders are all communicated by the courtiers and reported to the emperor first, and then the emperor forms a pardon order and issues it. Although this complicated and complicated ceremony is a bit unnecessary, it is the rules and regulations that have been formed for thousands of years.  Form a set of rules that cannot be ignored.  The ministers all turned sideways to send blessings to the new shogun. Ashikaga Yoshiaki was not modest at all. He proudly held up the wat board to greet all directions. He turned sideways and saw Harutoyo Kanshuji coming over and said with a smile:  "Congratulations to His Highness the General for being promoted to Prime Minister. You are already a legitimate general and can order the world's martial arts to guard the world for the imperial court." Ashikaga Yoshiaki said proudly: "Under Yu's rule, the world will definitely be more peaceful. Isn't it true that sweeping Kinai  Is Yu's martial arts extraordinary? Hahaha" The proud general is declaring his authority, and the ministers must be doubly flattering.  Nijo Haruyang's thoughts were also spent on Ashikaga Yoshiaki, imagining the dream of Guan Bai and the general joining forces to dominate the court.  Just like the situation when Ashikaga Yoshiteru and Konoe Maekyu joined forces more than ten years ago, this was something he once envied and hated, but he didn't want it to be his turn to enjoy it again.  "The Minister of the Fujiwara Court Sanjo declares that it is appropriate to serve as the fifth-level Attendant, the fifth-level Attendant of Saionji Mimasu, and the fourth-level Lieutenant-General Sakonoe Takagi" Thinking about the beautiful prospect, I can't help but get a little distracted.  He read absentmindedly: "When Minamoto's court ministers are in charge of the three H身dai Nagon and the garrison general Ashikaga Yoshi, it is appropriate to appoint the two right Konoe generals and the Youmaliao imperial eunuch" Nij身 Haruyoshi did not react when he read this.  When they came over, the ministers in the court reacted one after another. Their expressions were awkward and frozen, and they didn't know how to flatter the general in front of them. Ashikaga Yoshiaki was shaking with anger as he held the wat board, and said angrily with a trembling voice: "Nani? How can it be Ukonoe?  General, how could it be that he was the imperial eunuch of Youmaliao! This must be a mistake! " "Ah! How could it be" Nijo Haruyang was about to throw away the order, but when he was about to do so, he thought of it again.  This is the emperor's edict and cannot be discarded. He is holding it in such embarrassment and does not know what to do. The ministers look in horror at the unknown Emperor Masachikamachi behind the curtain, but they do not know what he is thinking in his heart.  What.  "The time has finally come! It's now!" Konoe bowed for a long time and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the general of Kwantung, Minamoto, the courtier, Yoshitoki, and his loyalty to the country have set an example for the world. His majesty once praised him with his golden words, and today he is praised again.  I must be grateful for the imperial edict, and I wish you to convey the edict to Tokoku. "It's what Fujiwara-san said." "No!" Nijo Haruyoshi hurriedly said.  Lie knelt down on the ground and begged: "Your Majesty, the Ukon Guard General has been held by the public ministers since ancient times and should not be given lightly. Since the Kamakura shogunate was first established and the two Yoritomo generals were assigned to the Ukon Guard General, this position should not be given to us.  The title of Gongqing is the special position of the general who conquers the barbarians, and the imperial supervisor of Youmaliao is also the general of the conquest of the barbarians. §   The guard sneered for a long time and said righteously: "Your Majesty is so benevolent and holy! Why bother Guan Baidian to explain specially that promotion to official position is not a child's play. The edict announced in front of the Gonggun princes in the court is also  How can it be false? Does Guan Baidian still have any doubts? " "This" Nijo Haruyang was choked and speechless for a long time, anxious like an ant on a hot pot but there was nothing he could do. Konoe Maekyu  Seeing that he did not even read out the edict, he asked for an edict: "Your Majesty, Guan Baidian is not feeling well, so I will temporarily announce the following appointments on behalf of Guan Baidian!"  Not long ago, under Nijo Haruyoshi's dumbfounded gaze, he snatched the edict and read it slowly: "The three high-ranking ministers of the Central Court of the Minamoto Palace have heard the words, and it is appropriate for the second high-ranking minister to say the words" Chao  The shocking turn of events in the court made Ashikaga Yoshiaki feel even more humiliated. If he hadn't been worried about the critical moment when he first became a shogun, he would have just been promoted to three high-ranking officials, and he would not have dared to easily disrupt the year-end court meeting.  According to the rules, I was afraid that he would get angry and make a fuss on the spot just now.  Suffering from the anger in his heart, he hurried back to Nijo Imperial Palace and started to get angry hysterically. He smashed the few pieces of porcelain and made the imperial palace a mess. He even whipped a few unlucky little ones. He was still furious.  He cursed: "This bastard Konoe Maekyu is simply disgusting! How dare he side with that villain Ashikaga Yoshitoki. Doesn't he know that he and I are brothers by marriage? How dare he do this to me. This is a shameful betrayal! Absolutely not allowed.  The betrayal of forgiveness!§ Mitsuhide Akechi stood outside the door and listened to the constant ping-pong-pong-pong in the room.  There were also many unpleasant curses and I couldn't help but shake my head secretly. Oda Nobunaga came over and asked strangely: "Your Highness, what's going on?" "I don't know, maybe I encountered something troublesome at the court meeting.  "Akechi Mitsuhide said helplessly: "His temper is not very good, please go to the Suisuke Palace and be patient." Oda Nobunaga suddenly slapped his shoulder and laughed: "The latest edict from the court meeting today.  , I, Nobunaga, was promoted to the fourth rank of Shodan Shodaibi, and I happened to be on par with Uesugi Danshoden." Being slapped so hard that I almost made a fool of myself, Akechi Mitsuhide suppressed his displeasure.  He said with a smile: "Then I would like to congratulate Oda for being promoted to the main hall." Perhaps affected by the recent promotion, Oda Nobunaga was in a particularly good mood. He patted Akechi Mitsuhide again and said, "Mitsuhide did it in the shogunate."  If things don＊t go well, how about serving the government here? It＊s still loyal to the shogunate, and you don＊t have to suffer as a close minister in front of the general. Wouldn＊t it be great to conquer the capital like this and become famous in the future? " Akechi Mitsuhide!  His eyes lit up, and he bowed and said: "I would like to thank you for the invitation of Danzhengdian. I, Mitsuhide, also have great respect for Danshoden. It's just that His Highness Kongkata" "Hahaha I have Mitsuhide even more powerful than a tiger!" Oda Nobunaga shouted.  He smiled and didn't care what the other people in the Imperial Palace looked at him.  He patted Akechi Mitsuhide on the shoulder for the third time and said loudly: "Don't worry, Your Highness, the family will solve everything. Mitsuhide will go to the Honnoji family's residence tomorrow to see you!" "Yes! Then, my lord, I will  Go back and prepare to formally meet your lord tomorrow!" Akechi Mitsuhide bowed and retreated, avoiding Oda Nobunaga's fourth slap. He suppressed the malice in his heart and turned around to leave. From an angle that Oda Nobunaga could not see,  His eyes quickly covered up with a hint of disgust.  Facts have proved that although Oda Nobunaga is not a very good person, he can definitely achieve it if he dares to make a guarantee. Mitsuhide Akechi switched sides and joined the Oda family. He did not know what method Oda Nobunaga used to communicate with Ashikaga.  Yoshiaki negotiated, but from the bottom of his heart he didn't care about his dirty tricks.  Konoe Maekyu packed his bags the next day, took his wife Ashikaga Katsuhime and their children, as well as more than a hundred retainers and maids, and left Kyoto in a mighty manner. Only a few sidemen and old retainers were left at Konoe's mansion to look after the house.  He made it clear that he would leave Kyoto and go to Edo to build his ideal shogunate. Kyoto lost a prestigious former Guanbai, which injected more unknown elements into the already restless lay people.  Ashikaga Yoshiaki was not in the mood to grieve for the loss of one of his generals. Emperor Masachikamachi's sudden attack was too accurate, catching the moment when Ashikaga Yoshiaki had not fully taken control of the court. The attack made Ashikaga Yoshiaki furious and Nijo Haru.  Liang was caught off guard, and the consequences were of course unimaginable. This sent a very bad signal to the world. Although Ashikaga Yoshiaki became the general of the conquest of barbarians, the court still supported Ashikaga Yoshitoki to exercise the real power of the general.  From ancient times to the present, it has never been seen that a general is under the control of a whole family. This time, the imperial court played a cruel role in Ashikaga Yoshiaki. Following this, rumors spread among the Kinai people. Most of the various versions are in  It is said that Ashikaga Yoshiaki's evil deeds were retaliated. If he had not killed his brother and regicide, he would not have been punished like this. In short, Ashikaga Yoshiaki was at fault. ??Oda Nobunaga was furious when he learned the truth. He invited Nijo Haruyoshi and the minister's accomplices to hold a closed-door meeting in the Nijo Imperial Palace. Akechi Mitsuhide, as a powerful official of the former shogunate, was now recruited to serve as a composer under Oda Nobunaga.  Dai Chongchen also attended the meeting. At the meeting, the three parties argued endlessly and could not come up with an effective method.  The difficult group should focus on the words of Emperor Jinguchi of Masachikacho who cannot be changed. When he was promoted to Ashikaga Yoshi, he served as two Ukonoe generals and Umariao imperial guards, which had a great impact on the shogunate. It was tantamount to openly creating two opposing factions within the samurai faction.  System, it would be a disaster if a pro-Kanto emperor was allowed to be in power.  Nijo Haruyoshi looked sad and helpless. To be honest, his Guanbai was not strong enough to hold the emperor hostage after all. It was not as glorious as the great power of Shoguki Daheki in controlling the government during the Heian period. The Nijo Ichi faction was not yet full-fledged when it was first established.  There are still many neutral fence-sitters in the imperial court who are favoring both sides. When the emperor suddenly expresses his support for Ashikaga Yoshi, it is equivalent to stabbing a thorn in the heart of the shogunate, allowing Nijo Haruyo, Ashikaga Yoshiaki, and Oda Nobunaga to dominate the system.  A major flaw occurred.  Oda Nobunaga thought for a long time and suddenly said: "What if we respectfully ask His Majesty the Emperor to abdicate?" "This is treason!" Nijo Haruyoshi looked at the most powerful man in Kinai in horror, shook his head and said: "Today the Emperor is  A rare virtuous king will definitely be punished by the gods and Buddhas for his reckless actions!" Nijo Haruyo was born as a true minister, and his attitude towards the emperor and the court was naturally different from that of the samurai family. Ashikaga Yoshiaki did not have this kind of attitude.  Worrying, he asked expectantly: "Nobunaga-dono, can you tell me how to control it." Oda Nobunaga narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "If I remember correctly, the emperor's prince, Prince Seihito, is here today.  The Yuan Fu Ceremony held last year has been highly anticipated as His Majesty's only prince If we respectfully ask His Majesty the Emperor to abdicate and support Prince Seihito to ascend the throne, and enable the young Emperor to reuse His Highness Guan Bai and His Highness K身k身, this will  The trouble will naturally disappear, right?" The atmosphere in the hall suddenly stagnated. Nijo Haruyang looked at Oda Nobunaga in stunned silence. He turned his face to see Ashikaga Yoshiaki who seemed to be very moved, and felt bitter in his heart: "I  It seems that I have boarded a pirate ship. Is there still a chance to get off the ship at this time? " Thinking on your heels, you know that there is no chance to get off the ship. Oda Nobunaga's ruthless and determined temper is uncertain whether he will attack him. The most important thing is Nijo Haruyang's.  The eldest son Kujo Kanetaka was also in the hall to listen in. This was a perfect double insurance to ensure that it would be useless if Nijo Haruyang rebelled. With his son, he could destroy him as a father at any time. After thinking about it, Nijo Haruyang still backed down.  .  "It is indeed a good plan, but this matter must be carried out with the support of Prince Seihito! It's a pity that we don't have the opportunity to enter and exit the forbidden area. How can we act if we can't see Prince Seihito?" Ashikaga Yoshiaki was distressed.  Looking at Oda Nobunaga, the latter turned his attention to the silent Nijo Haruyang. Regarding the intricate relationships in the court, only Nijo Haruyang knew everything clearly.  Nijo Haruyoshi thought about it, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "There is a way! I know a secret message. Prince Seihito has accepted the daughter of the temple master, Ocha Kabu, as the crown princess. According to internal legend, Ocha Kabu is very favored and is already pregnant.  The child of Prince Seihito, and the elder brother of Acha Bureau is Lieutenant General Seihouden of Kanshuji Ukonoe, and his father is the commander of Kanshuji Temple, Nashun Hideo. As long as he can win over the young Seihoden, there will be a way.  Open up the joints inside Ouchi and contact Prince Seihito. " Ashikaga Yoshiaki slapped the table in excitement and said in a loud voice: "It's not too late, let's act as soon as possible! I must unite these forces as soon as possible.  Slowly deal with that guy Ashikaga Yoshitoki!" (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
