Being a dad is the highest reward and honor for a man. There's nothing more exciting and rewarding than that.

For a person who really knows how to live, having the opportunity to be a father is an important thing that never changes.

That night, I almost lost sleep. Or rather, I couldn't sleep at all with excitement.

I'm going to be a dad! I'm going to be a dad! I'm going to be a dad!

I couldn't bear to disturb Arashi's rest, so I stayed alone in my room and rejoiced!

Who knew that in the middle of the night, someone quietly touched in! I smelled it, but it was a kite!

She crawled up to me and whispered in my ear in a tone that anyone would know about a man, "Sir, I want a baby too!" ”

So what else can I say? It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate!

A hard-fought battle has begun!

The process cannot be described, in short, in short, it means that. Hey, hey, hey......

Who knows, just after the kite figured it out, another figure came in! It's actually Huamei!

Well!!

What more can I say? You always have to pay it back when you come out to mix!

I guessed the beginning, not the end!

Hideyoshi, how did your seventeen wives and concubines settle down?

Tens of millions of marriages, capable of the first one. If you can't do it, secretly cry two lines.

If you want to fight, then fight!

What a night it was...... Eight hundred miles under the command, fifty strings turned over the outside sound. Only you know what it's like!

When I woke up the next morning, I somehow felt that the ground was not very smooth, and after walking a few steps, I felt that the ground was a little shaky.

When the female ninjas who served us saw me like this, they covered their mouths and smiled embarrassedly.

As for me, I naturally made a righteous appearance. How can the matter of reading people be so straightforward? Ahem!

In short, the morning was a little indescribable and unclear, but these two guys saw me generously, but I seemed cramped.

As I was about to eat, I suddenly received a message from Hideyoshi that he invited me to Izumo Castle in the afternoon, saying that there was something important to discuss.

Thank God from my heart! Hideyoshi, you're my dear! Knowing that I'm a little dizzy at this moment, I'm here to save me!

You're a monkey rescuer, you!

So I couldn't even take care of eating, so I picked up my shoes and walked out, so scared that Hua Mei and the other three only thought that there was nothing else.

In fact, there is nothing to do, but the husband is a little afraid of these debtors! Walking! Walking!

Hurry up, I went straight out of Cloud City without stopping.

When I arrived in the city, about three o'clock in the afternoon, I threw down my horse and handed it to the men guarding the gate, and when they saw that it was me, they did not stop me at all, but a leading general came out and took me straight to the inner courtyard.

After Sannomaru and Ninomaru, it didn't take long to arrive at Honmaru in Izumo Castle. Izumo Castle is not tall, but it is extremely strong, and most of the walls are made of white stone strips, which is a strong castle in Toei.

When I arrived inside the main hall, Hideyoshi was sitting in the middle of the main hall, and when he saw me appearing, he immediately laughed and shouted, "Come on, come on!" How did the protagonist come! ”

I don't know what he's going to do, so I can only sit in the position he pointed to, just to Hideyoshi's left, and it's definitely the most important position in this hall, not one!

Looking left and right, Kuroda Rusui, Ishida Mitsunari, Hashiba Hidenaga, Shimazu Yoshihisa, Mori Terumoto, Okubo Yasan and other dignitaries were all at the scene, and there were two palace people wearing public white clothes sitting on the side drinking tea.

Yoh? This seems to be a big deal! What the hell is it for?

When I sat down, Hideyoshi waved his hand at the two palace people, completely without the humility of the imperial envoys: "Announce it!" ”

The two white-clothed officials immediately stood up, saluted Hideyoshi respectfully and decently, and then walked to the middle of the main hall and shouted in their characteristic duck-like sharp voices:

"In accordance with the will of the Emperor and in response to the weather of all things, I hereby grant Sun Qilanzheng the two right ministers, I hope that Aiqing will remember the glory of today, always be diligent and diligent, and His Majesty the Emperor will share the worries! I also hope to ......"

"Alright, alright, alright!" Hideyoshi impatiently interrupted the chatter of the two eunuchs, and said: "You are repeating these words, needless to say, the right minister naturally knows!" Go down and receive the prize. ”

What do the two eunuchs dare to say? In front of Hideyoshi, who is in power, if they dare to say nothing, they are afraid that today next year will be their death day!

So the two of them could only get rid of Honmaru and go down to receive the reward with a smile.

After they left, with Hideyoshi's smile on his face, everyone here stood up and congratulated me on my promotion to a second-rank master.

Unexpectedly, Hideyoshi interrupted their congratulations with a wave of his hand, and beckoned to the back: "Let them come out again!" ”

I'm a little confused, so who will come out again?

But I heard Hideyoshi explain: "Originally, Qi Lan was given the official position of the second rank, but they didn't say that at present, I am only the second minister, so it is inconvenient to grant you too high a title!" Case! ”

Hideyoshi waved his arm and said excitedly: "Then let's just do good things in pairs and rise together!" ”

I was wondering what he meant, but I saw the two officials come out from behind again, and Hideyoshi smiled and winked at me before they walked in front of me: "There are still some procedures to go!" ”

So what else can I say? Follow along!

In between, the two eunuchs walked to the middle and began their preaching again, only to be interrupted by Hideyoshi unexpectedly.

"Getting to the point!" Hideyoshi's voice was flat, but the two officials were silent! Don't dare to talk nonsense for another half a word, Lisuo said happily:

"By the emperor's order, I will give the surname Tamakishiba Hideyoshi Toyotomi today! Toyotomi Hideyoshi was conferred the post of Minister of Taisei and served as Sekihaku! ”

"Wow!" There was a sound of surprise in the main hall, and he gave the surname Toyotomi, which was to help Hideyoshi change his origin.

In the history of Toei, the surname Toyotomi was the surname of Hideyoshi Shiba, who was given power during the Azuchi-Momoyama period. According to Toei's rules, the surnames of the ministers at that time were the four major surnames of Genpei Fujitachibana, or to be precise - Genji, Taira, Fujiwara, and Tachibana, as well as new surnames that could be compared to Sugawara, Kamo, and Oe.

And Hideyoshi was originally a subordinate without a surname, and later Oda Nobunaga asked him to choose a surname himself in order to make him a minister who could lead troops. So Hideyoshi chose one character from each of the surnames of Niwa Nagahide and Shibata Katsuie, and began to walk the world under the name of Hashiba Hideyoshi.

And this surname stops at most at the second rank official, no matter what, you can't get to the position of the first grade, this is the rule.

In order to solve this problem, the historical Toei Imperial Court gave the surnames of Hideyoshi Toyotomi courtiers in 1586, which can be regarded as solving the identity problem.

And in this life, because I helped the Shibata Katsu family survive until this year, Hideyoshi couldn't dominate the Toei family, so he has been living under the name of Hashiba Hideyoshi until now.

Now that Shibata Katsuya is dead, no one in Toei can stop Hideyoshi's unification, and the daimyo from all over the country have surrendered, and the imperial court has thrown an olive branch to Hideyoshi at this stage.

After all, power comes out of the barrel of a gun, and Hideyoshi is now in control of Toei's life and death, as for the royal family and the official family, it is just a stepping stone for Hideyoshi to reach the top!

Of course, the surname Toyotomi was not granted if he wanted to, but Hideyoshi came up with a method that could be called a "back door".

He asked the imperial family to claim that Hideyoshi was the illegitimate son of the previous emperor, so this was also a return to his ancestors, and the Toyotomi surname was just a return to him of what he should have been......

As for whether this is the right thing to do, no one asks, at least no one asks face to face, and there have been people who have questioned it in history, but during Hideyoshi's lifetime, all those who asked such questions disappeared inexplicably.

As for why, no one delves into this, after all, life is only once for everyone......

Just after announcing Hideyoshi's appointment, the eunuchs of the two official families looked at me again, smiled and congratulated me first, and then announced in a screaming voice that, by the emperor's order, I had been appointed Minister of the Second Pinzuo, taking over Hideyoshi's previous position.

This is already an unprecedented promotion in the history of Toei, and the people around me naturally know that this is Hideyoshi's intention to give me an identity, as for why, as long as Hideyoshi himself knows it......

"Ahem!" After the announcement of the two officials, he was driven down by Hideyoshi to receive the reward, and he smiled at everyone: "Everyone, today is a double happiness, and I still have one or two things to announce!" ”

Everyone looked at Hideyoshi fixedly, but they heard Hideyoshi say in a loud voice: "Since I am already in the first rank, I should set up a son to succeed." The only son of the maverick, Toyotomi Hideyori, is the heir of the family governor and the son, and the left minister Sun Qilan is appointed as the guide of the art of war of the prince. ”

Everyone listened to Hideyoshi quietly, and when they heard what he meant, everyone looked at me dumbfounded.

This is equivalent to the meaning of Toku, Toyotomi Hideyoshi is fifty-three years old this year, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi is only three years old. According to common sense, Hideyoshi will never wait for Hideyoshi to grow up and become an adult. But at the age of twenty-six or seven, there was no doubt that I could grow up with this child, and this was Hideyoshi's calculation.

Is it okay to give it to someone else? The conclusion is that it can, but in any case, it is more appropriate not to entrust it to this capable person from Daming!

In addition to my outstanding ability and wisdom, more importantly, I do not have any foundation and conditions to rise to the top in the world, or in other words, I am congenitally disabled in the possibility of breaking the existing ruling class!

What kind of people are the most reliable? People who don't have the ability to compete are the most reliable!

Therefore, choosing me is equivalent to providing Toyotomi Hideyori with an impossible backer! What's more, let Xiulai serve me with the gift of his father, this is already the highest treatment that can be given, tiger poison does not eat children, I have no reason not to do my best to assist Toyotomi Xiulai!

Thinking of this, people's gazes at me are more complicated, including envy, sympathy, and more mixed emotions.

I looked at Hideyoshi silently, his smile was tired and excited, maybe in this way, he was relieved to solve the problem that had been heavy in his heart for a long time.

For me, that's just the beginning......
