On the outskirts of Nishien Castle, an abandoned land with several stone tombs looming in the overgrown weeds, this is the ancestral graveyard of the Toyotomi clan. Next to the stone mausoleum, a tall earthen bag is overgrown with thin vines, like a small hill.

When Chibahara rebelled, he killed hundreds of Toyotomi clansmen, and buried them here afterwards.

Toyotomi Shunyi knelt on the ground, looking at Tubao with a painful expression as his father, mother, and many siblings were buried underneath. So many living clansmen at the beginning are now all dry bones, and I don't know if their grievances have dissipated.

Toyotomi Shunyoshi got up, pulled out a short knife from his waist, and walked to the dirt bag to cut down vines and weeds.

"I don't know if you can hear it, you are all dead, only I survived, all these years I have been wondering why I didn't die, maybe because God wants me to live to avenge the Toyotomi clan.

Now that I'm back, I'm going to slaughter the Chiba clan and bring the head of the old thief over to pay tribute to you, if such vines are your grievances, then I'll cut them off, and you will also disperse your grievances, don't be a member of the Toyotomi clan in the next life......"

Toyotomi Shunyi paused for a moment, his expression became even more sad, and he said: "Father, you like Xiaomei the most, I could have saved Xiaomei and escaped with me when I was running for my life, but then I was afraid that Xiaomei would affect me, so I didn't take her with me."

I still remember my little sister's resentful expression when she looked at me, but if I had to choose again, I would still abandon her, and only if I survived, the Toyotomi clan would not be destroyed. Father, do you resent me? ”

The vines were thorny, Toyotomi Shunyi's hands were covered with blood, and the blood fell to the ground, but he didn't care, and continued to cut down, I don't know how long it took, the weeds and vines on the entire earthen bag were cleaned up, and he got down from the earthen bag, took out two candles and a few incense sticks from the package, lit them and inserted them in front of the earthen bag, and then took a few steps back and knelt on the ground.

When the incense burned out, Toyotomi Shunyi looked up at the sky, then kowtowed three times, got up and left.

Xiyuan City, a wide river from the north of the city to the south of the city into the sea runs through the entire Xiyuan City, the people of the West Garden call Qingyuan River. There is a constant stream of boats coming and going on the river, and there are some smaller boats that enter West Park City directly from the river from the seaside.

Tianyuan Building leans against the Qingyuan River on the one hand, and faces the street avenue on the other side, which is a famous restaurant in Xiyuan City.

Toyotomi Shunyi sat in an accord with a lot of thoughts, when he was a young man he was a frequent visitor here, often came here to feast guests, at that time he was brightly dressed, left and right followed, dazzling like a pearl. But when he came back a few years later, even the shopkeeper downstairs didn't recognize him.

Open the windowsill, below is the Qingyuan River, on the other side of the river, a row of cherry trees towering, the crown oval to round, single leaves alternate, the leaves obovate, the leaf margin long mango heavy serration. Now that the flowering season has passed, it doesn't look dazzling, but when the flowers are full, many people go out to enjoy the flowers, and after a while, the flowers fall into the water, covering the entire river, and the scene is so beautiful that it is intoxicating.

The door opened, and an old man with white hair walked in, smiling and saluting Toyotomi Shunyi, and said, "Eldest son, I haven't seen you for a long time!" ”

Toyotomi Shunyi frowned, he never thought that he would see Chiba Harasaku at this time, the other party's humble appearance was exactly the same as a few years ago, just like the most loyal old slave, he couldn't imagine how such a person could do something to wipe the master's rebellion.

If such a person wants to disguise, he can really deceive everyone!

After a while, Toyotomi Shunyi spoke: "Sangwei has rebelled? ”

Chiba Yuan nodded and smiled: "I did take refuge in me, the eldest prince must know that without the Toyotomi clan, they can't support so many people at all, and even if they can, they will take care of the three of them, and they can't live a poor life, so they can only take refuge in me." ”

Toyotomi Shunyi was silent, for some reason all he was thinking about was the scene when he was drinking tea with Cao Wei, he didn't understand why Cao Wei was so young, but he could see things so thoroughly, why he had gone through hardships, but he was still inferior to others.

Chiba Hara stepped forward and walked a few steps, a few steps away from Toyotomi Shunyi, even if Toyotomi Shunyi suddenly broke out, he also had time to react, if Toyotomi Shunyi wanted to run, he could also capture it in time, it can be seen that Chiba Hara is indeed thoughtful and cunning.

"The eldest prince should have suffered a lot over the years, I watched you grow up, and now I feel distressed to see you like this.

In fact, why bother, people have died for a hundred, and they will no longer suffer, does the eldest prince want to die by himself, or do you want me to help you? ”

Saying the most vicious words in the most humble tone, Toyotomi Shunyi especially wanted to slap this face, he said lightly: "Can I ask you a question?" ”

Chiba Yuan was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "Eldest prince, please ask!" ”

Toyotomi Shunyi said seriously: "I have always wondered why your status in the Toyotomi clan was only below my father, and even the eldest son of my clan respected you, and my father often rewarded you with a large amount of property, and also handed over the samurai in the clan to you, so why did you betray the Toyotomi clan?" ”

Chiba Hara restrained his smile, his face was a little more resentful, and he sneered, "You think your father is really good to me?" He's just trying to make it up to me!

At that time, he was not the famous lord of the Toyotomi clan, and he had no power at all, but he told me that as long as I helped him become a famous lord, he would give me two castles, and allowed me to leave the Toyotomi clan and canonize me as a daimyo in the shogunate.

So in order to help him, I personally went to intercept and kill Toyotomi Yumitsu, the battle was extremely tragic, hundreds of people died, even one of my own brothers died in it, and finally Toyotomi Yumitsu died, I was also seriously injured, my whole body was covered with knife marks, or two of my subordinates fought hard to save me.

Later, Toyotomi Eiichi became a famous lord, but as if he had forgotten his promise to me, I told him about it, but he always excused himself with the instability of the clan. Do you really think that he has given me all that good for me? He was guilty of guilt.

He handed over the samurai of the Toyotomi clan to me because he didn't trust anyone else, and of course, he didn't trust me either, and he installed many people around me, including Otomo Matoshi, and it was because of your father's suspicious nature that I was able to take these people for my own use, and with the help of them, the samurai of the Toyotomi clan gradually controlled it, and the unusable ones were eradicated with his hands.

You really think that I destroyed your Toyotomi clan, but in fact it was your father from beginning to end......"

"Enough!"

Toyotomi Shunyi said angrily: "No matter what, you shouldn't wipe the Lord to rebel!" ”

Chiba Hara laughed and said: "Your father and son are really too similar, the same selfishness, I take it for granted that others are good to you, and if others dare to resist, it will be a big rebellion...... Eldest Prince, you asked me a question, and I have answered you truthfully, and now I will also ask you some questions, and please tell me honestly.

What are you doing in West Park City? Don't tell me I'm just here to pay tribute to your father, the people of the Toyotomi clan would never do such a meaningless thing.

I heard that you still have some samurai under your command, where are they hiding now? If you say it, die happily......" I want to chat with more like-minded people about "Da Ming Qingshi", WeChat pay attention to "excellent reading literature", talk about life, and find confidants~
