On their way back to Kyoto from Mt.
Fuji accompanied by Ami, Xia Xun and Zheng He had already begun a series of upheavals in Kyoto.
Ashikaga Yoshimitsu accepted the appeal of the elders of the major temples and shrines in Echizen, dismissed the Oda clan from the post of hereditary priest of the Kenjin Palace, deposed the Echizen guardian Asakura clan loyal to the Spo family, replaced the Ishibashi clan loyal to the Hosokawa family as the guardian, deposed the Owari guardian Oda clan and replaced him with a member of the Hosokawa family, and at the same time transferred Ashikaga Yoshitsu's maternal grandfather Settsu Nohide to Wakasa Guardian under the control of the Spo clan, which was actually weakening the Spo clan's rule over the area under his control.
The temple organization in Kyoto was also enraged by Echizen's news, and in this case, Shogun Spoyoshi had to accept Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's punishment, but he immediately gathered Ninomiya, Imagawa, Uesugi, Yamana and other daimyo close to the Spo clan, as well as guardians loyal to the Spo clan, gathered forces and formed an attack on Kyoto.
At the same time, Hosokawa Mitsumoto's fourth brother quickly married the youngest daughter of Tayama Kikuni, and the two families formally formed an alliance, while Ashikaga Yoshimitsu ordered the daimyo of Hokuriku, Mino, Omi and other daimyo to gather more than 6,000 troops, and pressed the soldiers and horses assembled by Spoyoshi in the oblique stab, and the war was about to break out.
At this time, a message from Xia Xun was sent to Kyoto: feeling that the measures taken by the Ming Dynasty were effective, he decided to formally conclude a tributary trade treaty with the Emperor on behalf of the Ming Emperor, and made a list of the proposed surveys, which was the list that the Ming Dynasty was ready to issue directly to the major names of the Ming Dynasty.
This list includes not only the daimyo of the Ashikaga Yoshimatsu faction, but also the daimyo of the Spooyoshi faction.
As soon as this list was made public, Kyoto, which was originally like a volcano about to erupt, immediately calmed down, and the daimyo of the Spo family, who were already worried about the strength of Ashikaga Yoshina's strong troops, were under pressure and had the temptation of money, and immediately retreated.
Within a short time, some people complained to Ashikaga Yoshimitsu about various mistakes in the administration of Shogun Spoyoshi, and Spoyoshi was dismissed from his post as deacon of the shogunate and ordered to return to the Shogunate domain.
This political battle ended with General Spoyyi's defeat.
On the way back to Kyoto, Zheng He asked Xia Xun with some puzzlement: "Since this Si Boyi general is quite hostile to my Daming, why not take this opportunity to defeat him The list of the survey of the Duke of the Kingdom, although the situation has calmed down temporarily, it will cause endless trouble." ” Xia Xun smiled and said, "I just want it to be infinitely troubled."
Seeing Zheng He's puzzled face, Xia Xun explained: "My father-in-law doesn't know much about the current situation of my country, and my country is now like our Spring and Autumn Warring States.
These stewards and attendants in Kyoto, including those daimyo and guardians, have a family and a territory behind them, and killing them personally will not solve any problems, and it will be very difficult to annex their territories.
I have already learned that for a long time, between the shogun and the daimyo, and between the daimyo and the daimyo, it was very common to make peace in time for war, and no one was sure that after destroying the other party, they would still have enough strength not to be swallowed up by others, so their gains and losses were mostly manifested in whether they still had the right to speak in the court, and it was a long process to weaken any prince, and it was impossible to use drastic measures.
Therefore, even if we do not intervene, this battle will be fought casually, and the two sides will bargain, and it will be over.
The outcome was not much different then, and if the tide of battle was to favor Spoyoshi, he would have to show his continued allegiance to Ashikaga Yoshimitsu and even regain the position of deacon, and we would have to take charge of the situation. ” Xia Xun smiled and said: "What's more, if I can really completely defeat or even eliminate General Si Boyi, I am not willing to do it."
He is alive, more useful than dead, and there is always a potential threat to the shogun by his side, who will be more deferential to me than a shogun who is in charge and in power. ” On the same day, Emperor Go-Komatsu visited Kitayama Hall to inquire about the recent regime change in Kyoto.
The next time, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's beloved son, Ashikaga Yoshitsugu, entered the palace on behalf of his father and received the same courtesy as a prince treated by the royal family.
The original Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was already an existence like the Emperor Taishang in the eyes of the Emperor, but now Spo Yoshimitsu will be expelled, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu is even more powerful, and the Emperor is even more afraid of him.
"Yoshiji is an adult, he should do something" Ashikaga Yoshimitsu sat on the tatami mat and said to Hosokawa Mitsumoto in high spirits.
The tatami mat under his buttocks was embroidered with a cloud-green pattern that only the emperor could use, but no one dared to point it out, and everyone was pretending to be deaf and dumb.
"There is some turmoil in Kyoto now, Hosokawa-kun, so I will ask him to patrol around Kyoto with you and learn to maintain security affairs."
Hosokawa Mitsumoto respectfully agreed, and the dignified general Ashikaga Yoshimoto, because of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's words, was driven out of the Flower Palace, and followed Hosokawa Mitsumoto's ass to maintain security in Kyoto.
Originally, he didn't have real power, but at least he still lived in the mansion that symbolized the shogun, and now he didn't even want to give him a false name, "General, Yang Xu, the envoy of the Ming Kingdom, is about to go to Kyoto" The Spring Bureau hurriedly walked in, full of spring breeze, and the nourishment of power played a role like love and rain, making her even more glorious.
Ashikaga Yoshimitsu smiled and stood up: "Oh, I'm going to meet them personally" While arranging his robe for him, the Spring Bureau said with a smile: "This person is very powerful, and as soon as he came, he helped the general to complete what he had always wanted to do but couldn't do." ” Ashikaga Yoshimitsu snorted lightly: "Didn't the result be used by me?"
He lowered his voice and said to the Spring Bureau: "Declare myself a vassal to the Ming Kingdom and accept the title of the king, I will have a further possibility, if we can borrow the help of the Ming Kingdom, our hope of success will be greater." ” He shook the hand of the Spring Bureau and said, "We need to maintain a good relationship with the Ming Kingdom and this envoy of the Ming Kingdom now.
When the time is ripe to force Komatsu to take the throne and Yoshiji becomes the emperor, I will be the emperor, and you will become the queen mother, my Ashikaga clan, and you will become the emperor of the eternal lineage of the country."
"Your Excellency General" When Ashikaga Yoshimitsu personally greeted Kitayama to pick up Xia Xun and Zheng He, who had returned from Mt.
Fuji, Spooyi would pack up his collection and was about to leave Kyoto gloomily.
In the courtyard, under the stone steps, Oda Tsunematsu touched the ground with his forehead and could not kneel.
General Spoi walked out of the room, and the four samurai immediately followed, General Spoyo's face was a little haggard, and when he walked to Oda Tsunematsu's side, Oda Tsunematsu's body fell lower, but General Spoyoshi did not stop a single step, and walked directly in front of him, as if he did not see a person kneeling on the ground at all.
The four samurai also walked over, the sound of small footsteps fading away, and then the door slammed shut from the outside.
Oda Tsunematsu knelt on the ground, motionless, and after a long time, the wind blew gently, and a few petals of cherry blossoms that had been dim in color blew in front of him, and Oda Tsunematsu slowly straightened up and pulled out the "ribs".
There are three ways to cut the abdomen, one is to make a horizontal cut from the left to the right from the abdomen; Then cut a straight knife from the bottom to the top to become a cross shape, reaching the heart for the degree.
The second way is to make a cross-cut in the abdomen and immediately cut your throat with the knife.
The third is to make a horizontal cut in the abdomen, immediately use the knife to pierce the heart socket, and then pull down forcefully to form a cross shape, and to endure the pain without making a sound.
In order to avoid pain, it seems that the second way is the most appropriate, but after seppuku, the body can only prostrate, if the back is facing the sky, it is a very unruly move, and the knees must always be closed and not released, otherwise it is not enough cultivation, and at the same time, it is decent to place the knife that committed suicide properly.
Whether he could do all this after cutting his throat, Oda Tsunematsu was really unsure.
Suicide is only once for anyone, and he has no experience in this area, so he can only do it with a strong will.
After a moment's hesitation, Oda Tsunematsu decided to choose the first option, and although his death was relatively slow and painful, he would have enough time to complete the aftermath.
The knife stabbed into the abdomen, Oda Tsunematsu suddenly frowned, the muscles in the corners of his eyes twitched because of the great pain, he endured, slammed the knife horizontally, and then quickly pulled it out, stabbed it vertically into the heart, and was about to cut down hard, his intestines flowed out of the knife with the gushing blood.
Oda Tsunematsu immediately let go of the knife stuck in his chest, scrambling to stuff his intestines back.
The depth of the knife into the abdomen is measured, if it is too shallow, it will not work, and it will not work if it is too deep, and it will be very regrettable if the intestines flow out of the abdomen, which is called "regretful abdomen", and it will be a pity to lose the demeanor of a samurai.
Oda Tsunematsu's hurried movements didn't work, the urgency of his breath and the movements of his body made his internal organs flow out more, and when he wanted to give up his useless efforts to complete the final sword, he had no strength to execute.
It was dark in front of him, his body fell forward, the hilt of the knife touched the ground, deep into his heart, his body shook, and his breathing stopped.

The intestines flowed all over the ground, what a fucking pity.
Owari, Oda Tsunetake fled immediately after receiving his brother's secret letter, he only took two loyal guards, he could give up anything, as long as people escaped, there was still hope that there was a river ahead, there was a wooden bridge on the river that could be crossed, and after crossing this river, he escaped from the territory of Owari.
Oda Tsunematsu became excited, he whipped hard, and rushed to the bridge, the horse's hooves stepped on the bridge and made a rumbling sound, and there was a shout from the other side of the bridge, and suddenly more than a dozen figures turned up from under the bridge, holding long bamboo guns to block his way.
Oda Tsunematsu was startled, and turned around, only to see that more than a dozen people had appeared at the head of the bridge he had just passed, and the straight bamboo spear blocked his way like a halberd.
As soon as he hesitated, the spear warriors at both ends of the bridge shouted and pounced on the three of them to the Kitayama Hall, and Ashikaga Yoshimitsu held a banquet for Xia Xun and Zheng He, and important officials from Kyoto came.
At the banquet, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu said to Xia Xun: "We searched for pirates throughout the territory of Yuben, and the ordinary robbers we caught were beheaded on the spot, and all the robber leaders we caught were all sent to Kyoto.
Xia Xun gave Zheng He a look, and smiled at Ashikaga Yoshimitsu: "Our Ming Kingdom respects Your Excellency's power and dignity in this book very much, these pirates are said to be themselves, and they were captured by Your Excellency, I want to deal with it, or do it according to the laws of your country, we will report your sincerity and results of suppressing Kou to His Majesty the Emperor." ” Xia Xun said this, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu in front of many subordinates, all the face was gone, he seemed very happy, he thought for a while, and ordered: "Come here, with the punishment of steaming and killing, all the thieves will be executed."
The samurai agreed, and more than twenty of them escaped from the island, and the leaders of the Japanese who had been caught ashore were dragged into the courtyard one by one, and they looked at the nobles who were drinking with their glasses open, and they did not know what fate they would end.
Soon, a waiter brought a large charcoal stove, an iron pot was placed on the stove, water was poured on it, and the leaders of the would-be pirates looked at each other, not knowing what they were doing.
Immediately afterwards, the waiters brought a mouthful of pottery dai retort, an ancient steaming tool that came from China, but is now rare in China.
At this time, some of the Japanese leaders understood the intention of bringing these things, and they immediately struggled in horror, they could die, as pirates who plundered for their business, they were all outlaws, who would be afraid of death but so dead but the struggle was ineffective, they were quickly pressed down by the samurai, and tied their legs and upper bodies together, so that they could not move at once, and then lifted them one by one, and went into the big retort, which was round, Like a jar with a large mouth, they were not too tall to fit it, and when each of the Japanese chieftains was loaded into the retort, they were lifted up by the powerful samurai and placed on top of the cauldron one by one, and the retort was covered with a wooden lid.
When the fire was raised, and the water in the pot began to heat, and the steam went down the mouth of the retort into the retort, and then any of the would-be cowards understood what punishment was to be inflicted on them, and their mouths were not gagged, and there were desperate howls from the mouths, begging, weeping, roaring, scolding, and the voices coming out of the retorts were somewhat dull.
Soon, the water boiled, and the sounds coming from the retort all turned into screams and begging sounds, and the terrible sound made many people change color, although the sun was shining, but listening to the ghost-like voice, there was really a hellish feeling, and it made people feel cold for a while.
Xia Xun did not lose his color, he thought of the people who were slaughtered in Xiangshan County, the old man who was disemboweled, the woman who was humiliated to death, the baby who was picked on the pole, and the young man who was burned to death by boiling water and listened to his screams for fun.
He filled a glass of wine, picked up the glass, and slowly walked out of the hall, standing facing the direction of Daming, with a solemn expression.
Zheng He immediately understood his intentions, he didn't drink alcohol, but he immediately poured a glass of wine, followed Xia Xun out, and faced Daming side by side with him, the two raised the cup high above their heads, prayed silently, and then gently spilled the wine on the ground.
In the retort, human flesh is cooked To be continued:
