The more Ashikaga Yoshiaki thought about it, the more frightened she became. She did not even doubt Akechi Mitsuhide's one-sided story.

Oda Nobunaga actually did not promise anything to Yoshigan Shiba. This was purely Mitsuhide Akechi's own attempt to scare people.

"Akechi-ji, please tell me the truth. What does Odaisho mean?"

Akechi Mitsuhide bowed and said solemnly.

"My lord, the Odaisho has no intention of meddling with the power of the shogunate, and indeed intends to return to the territory.

However, the dignity of the Shiba family must be maintained, and the punishment from heaven will not stop."

Ashikaga Yoshiaki frowned.

Yoshigan Shiba's concession was very large, but his request also made Yoshiaki Ashikaga very embarrassed.

In exchange for Shiba Yiyin's concession, she must allow the Shiba family to continue the Tianzhu, giving a bloody warning to the samurai in the shogunate who offended the Shiba family.

The Sibo family is not a soft persimmon. Anyone who dares to step on the Sibo family and climb a high branch will have to pay the price with blood.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki looked at Wada Noimasa, who thought for a while and asked.

"Akechi-hime, you also know that Kyoto can no longer bear any more troubles from last autumn and winter to now.

I can understand the mood of the Odaisho. However, we still need to exercise some restraint on this matter and not disturb the people of Kyoto."

Akechi Mitsuhide smiled.

"Master Wada, the Odaisho just wants an explanation. The shogunate security team and the people behind it who are stirring up trouble must be taught a lesson.

If you are upright, you will not be afraid of the slanting shadow. Da Yutai does not like to kill people indiscriminately. As long as they are not evil in their hearts, there is no need to worry.

You should know the character of Odaishu very well, do you think this is true?"

Wada Weimasa and Akechi Mitsuhide looked at each other and nodded slightly.

In fact, everyone knew in their hearts that the rumors and ambush were caused by Ashikaga Yoshiaki's tacit consent to the secret obstruction of the Ise Sada sect.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki will naturally not be held accountable. Wada Weimasa and others did not participate. If they want to die, Ise Sadakya and the ministers who were used as spearmen by her and wanted to take the shortcut to Nanshan.

Wada Weimasa felt a little relieved, thinking that he had figured out the bottom line of Shiba Yigen. As Mitsuhide Akechi said, Shiba Yigen was kind and would not kill innocent people indiscriminately, so there was no need to worry too much.

Yoshihiro Shiba is willing to leave Kyoto, but he cannot leave in despair, as that will cause the shogunate to despise the Shiba family and harm the interests of the Shiba family.

Before leaving, it is justifiable to use iron and blood to maintain the dignity of the Sibo family.

But Wada Weimasa didn't know that Yoshigan Shiba was kind, but Mitsuhide Akechi was not a thing.

Shiba Yoshigan will not personally take care of the specific execution of Tenchu. Akechi Mitsuhide has already arranged the people he wants to kill through Fujibayashi Mukuro.

People like the Renshenglang were eager to show off, so how could they be so scrupulous about using a knife? The list was given by the confidentiality team, and the blame was placed on Bai Di San Tai Fu.

Akechi Mitsuhide watched the show with a smile on his face. Wouldn't it be great to borrow Miburou's knife to clear his own obstacles in the shogunate?

Wada Weimasa nodded to Ashikaga Yoshiaki, this matter is not a bad thing for them.

The Ashikaga family ministers were concerned about the favor of their ancestors, so basically no one participated in the rumors that slandered the Odaisho. The targets of Tenchu ​​were mainly the shogunate group headed by Ise Sadakyo.

Wada Weimasa didn't care how many people from the shogunate group died, the two sides were not on the same page.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki was unable to control the Ise Sadakado. Even if the Ise Sadakadist was destroyed, the person who would replace her as the leader of the shogunate group would most likely be Ninagawa Makoto, who had defected to Yoshigan Shiba.

In this case, who cares about the life and death of ministers? A dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki understood this and said to Akechi Mitsuhide.

"I understand what the Great Otai Suo means.

The shogunate is in chaos again. Some people dare to slander the ancestors and the Odaisho. It really needs to be rectified.

I have long wanted to clean up the atmosphere, and since the Great Imperial Council is willing to do it for me, I don’t have to worry about it anymore.”

Akechi Mitsuhide bowed and thanked.

"I will convey your sympathy to the Great Imperial Office, Lord Gongfang, and I believe that the Great Imperial Office will be very happy to help you."

Ashikaga Yoshiaki saw Akechi Mitsuhide's loyal and sincere face, and the more he looked at him, the more he liked him.

Akechi Mitsuhide is worthy of being a loyal minister valued by the ancestors. If she had come forward earlier, she would not have been framed by the Ise Sadato Cult and ruined the uncle-aunt relationship with Shiba Yoshigan.

Although things had twists and turns, at this time, the issue that Ashikaga Yoshiaki cared about most, the status of Kawachi Genji's direct descendants, was actually resolved.

Shiba Yiyin retired from his residence and became a monk to practice Buddhism. If he did not compete with her for the power of the shogunate, he would naturally not flaunt his status as a direct descendant of the Genji family in Kawachi.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki was satisfied and had nothing to argue with. Instead, he was determined to maintain his relationship with the Shiba family.

She said to Akechi Mitsuhide.

"Akechi Ji is loyal, capable, and courageous in her duties. Are you willing to stay in the shogunate and serve me?"
