As Ah Xiu felt, the dogmatists and the pursuers were completely incompatible. Not only do they dislike each other in terms of their behavior, but more importantly, the sources of power in their hands are different, so the things they need to maintain are naturally completely different.
Mitsunari wants to persuade everyone to take the young master Hideyori as their priority, unite as one, and always uphold Toyotomi's public etiquette. This is because only when the Toyotomi public rituals are maintained to the highest degree, the devotees who are an important part of the Toyotomi public ritual system can always have huge and stable power.
In order to achieve his goal, he pretended to be superior. According to his plan, let everyone remember Taige here first, and if possible, then clarify the strategy for dealing with Tokugawa to everyone. But what he didn't expect was that both Qingzheng and Yukinaga were categorically opposed from the beginning. The remaining anger on the battlefield, coupled with the numerous abuses in the territory, made them all worried.
"Why didn't you answer?" Seeing that he didn't answer, Asano Yukinaga became even more emboldened and even refused to let him go.
"Forget it, forget it." Takatora Toudo, who is older and is forty-two years old this year, stopped Yukicho and smoothed things over: "His Majesty Jibu is also doing good for us, so he wants to comfort us. There are still many ships to go. They are landing one after another, let’s leave as soon as possible after dinner, and don’t delay the military affairs, this is the right thing to do.”
Asano Yukinaga was still willing to give some face to Toudo Takatora, who was trapped in the enemy's trap and was able to "escape during the chaos." After all, he had witnessed the power of the Ming army many times. He could escape from the Ming army's camp without even thinking about it. It can be seen that although Teng Tang couldn't defeat the Ming army in a water battle, he really couldn't be blamed.
Hey, in fact, just looking at this withdrawal, we know that the Ming army's navy is too powerful. This is like a thirty-year-old man fighting a three-year-old child. Whoever takes command will only be defeated. Yukinaga shut his mouth, glanced at Qingzheng again, and silently picked up his rice bowl. Qingzheng chewed silently with a straight face, sniffing hard from time to time.
"I was indeed impulsive and spoke louder."
I don’t know if he couldn’t bear it anymore. Although he started eating and drinking, he still said: “However, if you use Taige’s prestige to bully others and show off your prestige, then I won’t agree! I’m not just talking about the young assistant to the administrative department. One person, in the past, some people would only pester Taige and please His Highness by flattering them. But now that His Highness has passed away, they should return to their rightful place. If they still want to stay where they are, I will definitely Intolerable!”
Ah Xiu was extremely frightened when he heard this, feeling that if he hadn't just returned from the battlefield, no one would have dared to speak like this.
"What a delicious delicacy!" Nabeshima Katsushige was the first to put down Taiko.
He defeated Ming Army General Dong Yiyuan with a weak force in the northeast of Korea, creating the only real victory for the Japanese army after the Ming Army counterattack. Therefore, he now speaks with confidence: "I still want to inspect the camp, so I'll take my leave first." . Although I have returned to my hometown and am relieved, if there is a dispute between the retainers, there will undoubtedly be great worries. So... I will take my leave first and excuse myself. "
Although they have the confidence gained through military exploits, if you look back to the source, the Nabeshima family seems to have "unjustly gained the country". In the past, their status and reputation among daimyo were not very good. Although he now felt an aura of embarrassment and even danger, he asked himself that this was probably the only thing he could do.
"Then, I think that's enough for today." Yukinaga finally held back and did not say more harsh words. He followed Katsumasa and urged Kiyomasa out.
Zong Zhan, Guang Yue and the women sent the generals out, but San Cheng remained motionless. To be precise, he was too disappointed to stand up.
A Xiu and others returned to the hall. After cleaning up, Ishida Mitsunari was still alone in his trance, motionless. Because his expression was extremely gloomy and his eyes looked like a poisonous snake ready to bite anyone, Zong Zhan quickly urged Guangyue and his granddaughter back to the room.
Ahxiu gently sat next to Sancheng. Although she was the only one left, Sancheng still sat there blankly, neither moving nor making a sound. Ah Xiu couldn't bear it anymore and said: "Your Highness, is the sliding door just open like this?"
"That's it, don't worry about it."
"Your Highness, you are so calm."
"You're wrong."
"So what does Your Highness mean..."
"How could I be angry?" As he spoke, Sancheng suddenly turned to Ah Xiu and asked, "Do you think it's hard to stay by my side?"
Sancheng asked such an unexpected question, and Ah Xiu was a little at a loss: "This...what is your highness referring to?"
"I plan to take you to the capital."
"Capital?"
"I wonder if you can bear it."
Ah Xiu's eyes widened in surprise, but she quickly smiled and said, "Your Highness, please don't force yourself too much."
"I'm not forcing you. If you don't want to go, I won't force you. Haha..."
Seeing San Cheng smiling, Ah Xiu was startled and said nothing. For the first time, she felt strongly the loneliness in this man's heart. How could he not be angry! Ah Xiu is not so dull that he cannot even see this lie. If he had enough confidence, he would take the initiative to pull Yuki Naga into the yard, and they would fight it out with swords.
However, just because he doesn't engage in kendo duels doesn't mean that he really lacks confidence. Otherwise, shouldn't people in the world look for those great kendo masters to do it? He has been suppressing the anger in his heart because he has a greater ambition buried deep in his heart.
"What, you don't like it? Don't want to go?"
"If you take a woman like me with you, your Highness will probably regret it after some time."
"Why do you sound like Dr. Sakyo?"
"Dr. Sakyo?"
"Hmph! That guy is scolding me for being the second to last among the five sects. Hum, is the second to last sect not worthy of the Hakata Oiran?"
"This... Your Highness is too preoccupied. There is no doubt about your status."
"Is there any doubt about my mother? I don't think so." Ishida Mitsunari lowered his head slightly and said in an almost inaudible voice: "...but His Highness Taige taught me a truth through his life experience: people should never give up striving for the top. "
More than ten days later, Kinki.
Maeda Toshiie rarely coaxed Hideyori to play in the city for more than an hour before withdrawing. Maeda Mansion is close to Saiyuan, on the right hand side of Saiyuan gate, and only a few steps away from Hideyori's residence.
After returning home, Lijia didn't say anything for a long time.
From the late autumn of the third year of Qingchang, he had a severe cough with a lot of phlegm. He could even occasionally cough up blood when he got up every morning. Qu Naoze Xuan Shuo diagnosed him with tuberculosis and said that there was a serious disease in the liver and lungs. The passing of Hideyoshi seemed to make Toshiya's illness become more serious.
In his early years, when he was still under Nobunaga's tent in Qingsu Castle, Hideyoshi was a close friend of the Toshi family. Later, Hideyoshi changed and became a generation of heroes that the Toshi family admired and even feared. In Toshiie's view, Hideyoshi is indeed unusual and possesses tremendous power to appease the world...
However, when such a person faces death, he turns into a miserable ordinary person, and the various behaviors he exhibits are unbearable to look at. This undoubtedly poured cold water on the Li family - life is really sad!
Toshiya was upright by nature, and Hideyoshi's death was a fatal blow to him, which made him increasingly depressed, exhausted physically and mentally, and finally fell seriously ill.
Today in this city, Hideyori kept pestering him, saying "Grandpa" every time. Whenever Hideyori yelled like this, he felt cold in his heart. I don’t know who taught him this, but Hideyori has been calling Toshiie “Kaga’s grandfather” and Ieyasu “Edo’s grandfather” recently.
To be honest, Hideyori's voice was clear and his appearance was innocent and cute, but because of this, every time he shouted, Toshiya's heart felt hot and he couldn't help but want to shed tears.
Despite this, Li Jia still felt as if his backbone had been taken away, and he was so weak that even he couldn't help but ask himself: Why is this?
Sometimes, Toshiie would even have auditory hallucinations, as if Hideyoshi underground was saying: "Hideyoshi, I'll leave it to you, I'll leave it to you." That "Hideyoshi" always said this repeatedly.
In fact, Hideyoshi died saying these words all the time, which made Toshiie always feel as if Hideyoshi was telling him: "Toshiie, this is the true face of life. You will die like this soon." This is left to The endless horror and sadness of the Lee family.
The Toshi family was resting in their room, and Mrs. Asatsu, who came from Kaga to visit her, excitedly brought her some decoction.
"I'm coughing less today, which is great!"
As soon as Asong finished speaking, Li Jia couldn't help it, twisted his face and scolded: "What's missing! I've been holding back. Don't say too much."
Asong smiled heartily and rubbed Lijia's back. After a husband and wife live together for a long time, a woman will understand every thought of her husband. Lijia almost never scolds others, he will scold without any concealment. I am afraid that only Asong in this world... This is actually the real trust.
Asong waited silently for Lijia to drink the soup. She knew that if she spoke before Lijia took the first sip of medicine, it would affect her husband's mood. But if he took the first sip and didn't speak, Li Jia would blame her for being ruthless. Asong has already figured out this little temper of the Li family.
"How is the young master feeling? He must be very happy."
"Yes. He pestered me desperately today and asked why he hadn't seen him for five days in a row."
"You're so naughty, how can I keep pestering you like that?"
"nonsense!"
"What?"
"What are you talking about! I'm not the only one whose children are pestering me, Ieyasu is the same. Children just like to pester others."
"You blame me again." Asong said angrily, and Xuanya asked nonchalantly: "Has the date of moving to Osaka been decided?"
"It's decided. The first day of the first lunar month... I decided it."
"New Year? That's great, it's so gratifying!"
"What is there to celebrate? You women just like to say nice things. At your age, you still say such things?"
"As you get older, you are no longer a woman?"
"Don't mess around. I said at the time that although the war in Korea was extremely difficult, it was finally over, so we should move on New Year's Day. However, Zuofu said that we would wait until the administrative department came back before making a decision. I decided in anger Come down—the administration department is nothing, why do you have to wait for him!"
"Ah? Why do you say that?"
"Hmph! Zuofu didn't like Zhibu at first, but now he seems to be afraid of Zhibu. Zhibu sends envoys from Hakata every day, claiming that he only reports to me... I really can't let anyone do it for a moment. Don’t worry, this ambitious guy.”
"Isn't this bad? Why did Your Highness say this?"
"What's good? On the day His Highness Taige passed away, he said he wanted to hide it from the world, but he came here in the dark and said that he only told me about it."
"Are you dissatisfied with what he did?"
"What do you know! He said he would only tell me one person, but in fact he went to Ieyasu again and said the same thing. I only found out after talking to Zuofu. Ha, this kind of little trick... what is my Maeda Toshiie? I’ve never seen strong winds and waves, so can I see the dangers in them?”
"The Administrative Department actually used such a little trick." Asong looked quite surprised, but then asked: "But why did the Administrative Department do this?"
"Why do you do this?" Maeda Toshiie couldn't help but sneered: "According to Taikaku's order, I am Hideyori's guardian, and the Zuofu is acting as the administrator. This means that in Toyotomi's official ceremony, I and the Zuofu is the heaviest.
Then think about it, Ah Song, if Zuofu and I work together to overcome the difficulties, will the five elders be able to unite as one? If the five elders unite, how much say will the five leaders have?
Let me put it this way, even if His Majesty the Chief of the Ministry can make the other four ministers act according to his wishes, how can he surpass the five elders and influence the world's major events? With his temper, could he find a way to provoke me into confrontation with Zuofu, and then wait for an opportunity to exercise power?
It's a joke, of course he can't just sit back and watch - when Taige was still there, he used these little tricks to seize power. Now that Taige is gone, he still regards these little tricks as the right way, but he doesn't know that technique is not as good as law, and law is not as good as Tao. . "
"The Rebirth of Financial Giants"
Ah Song said "Oh" and said with a hint of understanding: "So that's how it is."
"A Song, please remember that there are no young or old on the road to hell... I will never let the children be deceived by his little tricks. When the management department comes back, I will teach him a lesson! To prevent him from being in such a dangerous situation now He also did some dangerous things under the current circumstances.”
After saying that, Li Jia gently closed his eyes and muttered: "Is it three thousand or five thousand?"
"What did your Highness say about three thousand and five thousand?"
"I mean, after moving to Osaka, the manpower should be allocated to Toshinaga to protect the young master. I am entrusted by Taiko before his death and have a heavy responsibility. There must be no mistakes in this matter."
Asong remained silent. She never bothered the Li family when they were thinking about big things. At this time, Asong deeply remembered their past happiness.
When my husband was young, he was impatient and aggressive, but he was kind and never played any tricks. In Asong's opinion, this is definitely not because he is following the old ways, nor is it simply out of loyalty to his master. It is entirely because he has a simple nature and never worries about gains and losses at critical moments. As he grew older, he became more simple and persistent, and eventually became an upright and steady elder, admired by everyone.
In the past, as a close minister of the right government (here the right government refers to Oda Nobunaga), Toshiie was also famous for being rough and brutal. But now, almost all the people who worked with him in the same position are no longer alive. Ge also passed away. In recent days, he has often lamented that life is short, lamenting that he has the important task of assisting Hideyori, an ignorant young child on the left, and must carefully consider right and wrong.
Of course, the legitimate son, Li Chang, will be placed in Osaka, but what about Li Zheng and Li Chang? Asong was thinking of this when he heard Li Jia say again: "Ason, is Li Chang too young?"
At this time, Li Jia's voice was no longer as stern as before, but became extremely weak, and his voice was full of worry: "I think about it, but I still feel uneasy. There is no need to worry about Li Chang, but..."
"Yes." The lady nodded vigorously, but she was thinking about other things - how to make her husband feel at ease?
Asong felt that her husband didn't need to worry so much, as long as he stayed the same as before. The couple never made a big mistake, which is why they became the Maeda Dainagon and the Maeda couple they are today. And in Asatsu's view, no matter how painstakingly and carefully arranged the Toshi family is, Hideyori is nothing more than a six-year-old child in the final analysis, who neither knows how to distinguish between good and foolish, nor understands what responsibilities he has...
"It seems that we still have to add 5,000 troops to our advantage. If something happens, we can hold off for a while until people loyal to the young master come to the rescue."
"Of course." Madam echoed again, changing the topic intentionally or unintentionally, "But don't just worry about the young master. I think you sometimes care too much about responsibility. In fact, even if you are the guardian, you may not be able to take care of the future of the young master. keep it……"
"What's the meaning?"
