Disagreeing Advisor
He's been a faithful servant so far, but now he seems to have grown too insolent. He dares to denounce our great Emperor's policies and he recently did so in public in front of foreign ambassadors. Even if he's right, we shouldn't let that become a habit of his.
Emperor Ietsugu concedes the advisor has a point.

Ginkakuji
In the wake of the Higashiyama culture, people were looking for some kind of inspiration. A man in our employment suggested that we build a new temple, called Ginkaku-ji – the Temple of the Silver Pavilion – as it would be covered in silver foil. A rock garden with Zen and wabi-sabi aesthetics should be planned and added beside the temple. The simple beauty of the plans seem to be overshadowed by the inlay of silver and that suggestion was removed.
Emperor Ietsugu demands his temple be built.

Exploration Ideas Advance!
Overseas Exploration
Setting up colonies in distant lands is pretty much a one way trip. If strange new diseases don't get you, the amount of time it takes to sail back means you won't be coming home. If we remind people of the potential riches, we can encourage them to seek lands further afield.
Bonus Effect:
Colonial Range: +50%
Japanese Ideas Advance!

Nobles Demand Privileges
The privileges of the nobility have been under continuous assault as Ietsugu has attempted to centralize more and more control. The nobles have finally lost their patience and are demanding that they are given back what they believe is rightfully theirs.
