"There is one more thing, even if the father is no longer there, you must keep it in mind." Toshiya Maeda continued.

"Father, don't say that, your teachings will never be forgotten." Looking at Maeda Toshiya's pale and wrinkled cheeks, Maeda Toshimasa's heart was also full of sourness.

"Although you are a year older than Youfu, you must not show a trace of arrogance and contempt because of this, let alone discuss it privately with others, even if you get angry with each other in the future, you can only swallow it in your stomach, and you must not show it, especially not to show your heart with other daimyos.

You have to understand that if there is no accident, you can live for forty or fifty years, and during this period... Ahem, there are too many variables, and you and I can't imagine what Japan will become. However, what you can do is to follow him closely, keep a low profile, and obey his words, and only in this way can you keep the family safe. ”

"Since there are too many variables, why do you recognize the right house? In this troubled era of the Warring States, there are many examples of the middle-aged defeat of the young British lord, besides, now the daimyo of the Owari faction are still there, and the young lord is still nominally the lord of the world. Maeda Toshimasa had a lot of objections to Maeda Toshiya's idea, and he believed that it was right to submit to the right government for now, but what should be done in the future depends on the situation.

Indeed, in the troubled times of the Warring States, how many big names were clearly "good starts" but ended up in the middle of the family or even defeated and died? There have long been Imagawa Yoshimoto, Niko Harumu, there are Asakura Yoshikage, Ryuzoji Yinxin, and there is Mori Terumoto in front of you, the names of these daimyos, whether it is "the first bow of Tokaido" or "Goshu and two islands Taishou", which shouts out is not resounding, when he was young, he was high-spirited, not to expand the territory, to make great achievements, or to keep the way, and the monarch and the ministers are united, but most of these daimyo are proud and complacent after middle age, neglecting and despising the enemy, and in the end they all have a miserable ending, which makes people sigh.

Compared to those big names, Hideho is only in his early twenties, who can guarantee that he will not go the wrong way and play the wrong chess in the future? Especially now that Xiubao is still pressing a Xiu Lai on his head, how to face it in the future and how to get along must be carefully considered, if he is not careful, it is very likely to overturn the current good situation, and finally lose the whole game.

These worries and doubts made Maeda Toshimasa maintain a trace of worry about the future of Hideho and even the Toyotomi clan, of course, Maeda Toshimasa was young, and the unwillingness and stubbornness hidden in his heart were also one of the reasons that prompted him to have doubts and a little resistance to Hideho.

"I am a year older than Youfu, why should I listen to him for the next forty years? Even if he is the descendant of Hideyori, now that he is in the limelight, will he be able to stay above my Maeda family for a long time in the future? Why does even his father value him so much, is he really so much better than himself? Maeda Toshimasa muttered silently in his heart.

"You have to remember that now is different from the past, after these three turmoil, from the local daimyo to the close servants, but all those who have gaps with the right government have been taken down, and there is no one in the world who can compete with the right government, and in the next forty years, the right government is no longer in danger and enemies on all sides, but the forty years of continuous expansion of the gap to establish absolute authority. In this process, anyone who wants to come out stronger, even if it is just a temptation, must be self-defeating. You should know that you think that your father's character will rarely persuade you to take a desperate gamble, since you have said so, it must have been carefully considered, if you feel that your father is terminally ill and delirious, you can not listen to these, after all, the helmsman of the Maeda family will no longer be a father in the future. With that, Maeda Toshimasa turned his head away, which made Maeda Toshimasa suddenly ashamed.

"The son-in-law has no such intention, since the father said so, the son-in-law should obey the order." Maeda Toshimasa hurriedly defended Maeda Toshimasa and said: "However, then again, if the Right Mansion is really willing to assist the young master of Hideyori, will it backfire at this time if the family proposes to dissolve the joint meeting?" ”

"Do you think Youfu is such a person? Or do you think the retainers under the command of Youfu are such people? Or, do you think that the daimyo who has befriended the right government over the years is such a person? The three rhetorical questions immediately made Maeda Toshimasa's face turn red and speechless.

"Erchen, Erchen just said if... After all, the Right Mansion is only the head of the divided family, and the pressure to replace the Zong family is not small......"

"These are the things that Youfu and his retainers should consider, not you." Maeda Toshiya sighed and said with disappointment: "My father's words have come to this, why are you still looking ahead?" Righteousness is just a foil for strength, a lifesaver for the weak, and the icing on the cake for the strong. At that time, Ashikaga Yoshiaki had great righteousness, but he was exiled by Nobunaga; Kenshin Gongkong has the righteousness of 'Kanto Governor', but he has never really entered the Kanto region. Aren't these things just around the corner enough to remind you? Because your father knows that you are worried about the risk of taking a gamble, there is now a direct way to help you judge. ”

"Please also ask my father to make it clear." When Maeda Toshimasa heard this, he suddenly came to his senses.

"Just now, I sent Sasuke out to investigate, and I learned that the lights in the right house were bright tonight, and the retainers came and went from time to time, and I concluded that he would summon you, Prime Minister Bizen, and Asano Danmasa tomorrow morning at the latest, to discuss the post-war disposition." Maeda Toshiya said slowly.

"Erchen heard that Mrs. Yodo has entrusted someone to inform Youfu and wants to discuss this matter with him, do you think he will discuss it with his family before this?" Regarding Maeda Toshi's speculation, Maeda Toshimasa was a little surprised.

"It's not a discussion," Maeda Toshiya shook his head and said, "It's an informant, and it's also a temptation." ”

"Informed? Do you think the disposal plan has already been prepared? This...... I'm afraid I don't take the young master and us too seriously. Maeda Toshimasa hung his head, his tone revealing loss and unwillingness.

"So, it's still a temptation." Maeda Toshiya continued: "If you have the same temper and attitude as you have now, I'm afraid that you will stand up against it at that time, or will you insist that this matter should be decided by the young master, right?" If this is the case, then his temptation will be successful, and the place of his family in his heart will be determined. ”

Maeda Toshimasa frowned after hearing this, and slowly analyzed: "According to your analysis just now, the Ukita and Asano families will definitely support him, so even if the son is against it, it won't help, right?" Not only that, but they will also think that this matter will have a conflict with the right government, which will directly affect the status of the family after the dissolution of the joint meeting...... Is that what Father meant? ”

Maeda Toshiya bowed slightly, smiled and said: "I finally understand, this is the first step to lay the foundation of the family, don't make a mistake." Besides, even if he comes up with the plan, the family will not suffer, you should understand this. Unless, you think that this family can add a million stones haha. ”

"Erchen doesn't have that much appetite, and he doesn't dare to have extravagant hopes." Maeda Toshimasa hurriedly shook his head.

At this moment, a rush of footsteps followed the corridor from far to near, and then the attendant whispered: "The old lord and the lord, the right government sent someone to ask the lord to come over and talk about it, saying that there is something important to discuss." ”

In an instant, Maeda Toshiie and Maeda Toshimasa looked at each other, a smile appeared on the former's face, and the latter had his mouth slightly open, his face full of surprise and admiration.
