Chapter 438 Yuan Fu

Previous Chapter

The Motofu ceremony, which was originally planned to be held on the sixth day of the first lunar month, was postponed until March 28 in Fushimi due to the health of the Maeda Toshiie. At the ceremony, when the Maeda family was supported by the two brothers Maeda Toshimasa and Maeda Toshitsune, Hideho couldn't help but feel a trace of sympathy and respect in his heart.

Although the Maeda Toshiie lived for two more years than in history, witnessing the turmoil before the Aizu War and the reshuffle after the war, the Maeda family also achieved a smooth transition thanks to the efforts of Hideho and Maeda Toshimasa, so it stands to reason that there should be no regrets. But the assistant Toyotomi Hideyoshi in front of him has become the strongest and strongest in the world, is he really satisfied? Obviously not, the current situation can only be said to have completed "self-preservation" and preserved the status of the Maeda family in the new era, but what about Toyotomi Hideyoshi's deathbed orphan? What about Hideyori's vow to become the master of the world and keep the Toyotomi clan stable? He can't do it anymore, not so much because he doesn't have time to make it until Xiu Yori grows up, but because he can't fulfill his original promise.

In today's world, when the Daisho is a thing of the past, new systems and institutions are being established in an orderly manner, and Hidebo's influence has continued to penetrate into all corners of Japan in the name of hindsight, and his control over the center and the daimyo in various regions has been strengthened. At this time, there was no one in the world who could fight him, even if Hideyoshi relied on Jiancheng to raise his arms and call on those daimyo who were deeply favored by Hideyoshi to fight with all their might, not to mention that it may not be able to change the status quo, maybe it will also anger Hideho, directly replace the clan of Osaka, completely pierce this layer of window paper, stand firmly in front of the stage from behind the scenes, and stomp his feet violently, from then on, the old system fell apart, and the new system officially began.

Thinking of this, it seems that Maeda Toshiya should not feel sorry, but should feel lucky. At this moment, the strength of the Daimyo has been greatly reduced, and he no longer poses a threat to the Toyotomi clan; On the surface, Xiulai is still respected by the daimyos, and continues to command the world with the title of young master; Surrounded by many attendants and supported by Hidebo's abundant financial resources, Yodohime still enjoyed a noble status and a luxurious life, and everything about the clan seemed to be the same as when Toyotomi Hideyoshi was alive - except for power.

Passing away at this time is a kind of dignity for the Maeda Toshiie, after all, under his "assistance", the Toyotomi regime is still continuing, and it can be regarded as an explanation for Hideyoshi's spirit in heaven; If I really live another year or two, who knows what the world will be like?

"It's time to leave, you can't keep Taige waiting." Looking at Hideho, who was standing in front of him, and his three smart and clever children, as well as the familiar and unfamiliar daimyo on both sides, Maeda Toshiya smiled slightly, and while gently squeezing the little hand of Takeo Ball, he said to himself: "The right should be the beginning of the new era." ”

The ceremony went very smoothly, as the son-in-law of Takeomaru first Yuanfu, in the black hat pro-Maeda Toshiya and the daimyo witness, officially named Hidemitsu, is called Yushiba Hidemitsu, commonly known as Toyotomi Hidemitsu. The word manchu originates from Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, the third shogun of the Muromachi shogunate, whom Hideho revered, and the meaning is to hope that Takeomaru can calm the troubled times and become a promising lord.

The second is the eldest son Yukichiyo, whose mother is the most beloved daughter of Yoshimitsu Yoshimitsu, thanks to Hidebo's maneuvering around the time, to avoid the doom of being beheaded by a joint seat, for which Yoshimitsu Mogami father and daughter have always been grateful. Now the Mogami family is 540,000 stone with Chiyuki, second only to Date Masamune and Gamo Hideyuki to become the third largest force in the Northeast, and they are even more grateful to Hideho, in this case, Yukichiyo has become an important link between the Yamato Toyotomi clan and the Mogami clan, and all the Mogami clans attended his Yuan Dress Ceremony, which is enough to see the importance of Mogami Yoshimitsu.

The person who served as Yukichiyo's black hat was none other than Hideho's brother-in-law, Gamo Hideyuki, who owned 600,000 stone Chiyuki in Aizu. Previously, due to the turmoil in his family, he was reduced by Hideyoshi from 920,000 koku to 230,000 koku in Shimono Mibu and Shinano Kawanakajima, but thanks to Hidebo's support and assistance, he returned to Wakamatsu Castle after the Aizu War, and his territory increased to 600,000 koku, ranking only 20,000 koku behind Date Masamune.

The reason for Hideho's actions is simple: Tohoku is the region with the fewest hideho deposits, and now it can only rely on the checks and balances of the foreign daimyo to maintain the stability of the region. At present, Mutsu has formed a three-strong trend, although the three Zhixing are not much different, but there are still internal differences. Mogami Yoshimitsu's territory was swept by most of the Uesugi army, with heavy losses, and it was already a strong foreign force; Gamo Hideyuki has been away from Aizu for many years, and many of his retainers have been scattered, and the first battle of Kawanakajima has lost a number of important ministers such as Gamo Yorigo, and the governance and order in the territory are difficult to get on track for a while; Date Masamune, on the other hand, did not break his bones in the battle between Aizu and the Uesugi army, and he had deep roots in the local area and was known to be ambitious, which was the target of Hidebo's key prevention.

Hidebo's move is to close the relationship between Gamo Hideyuki and Mogami Yoshimitsu, and to bring the two families together to take this opportunity to unite against Date Masamune, and at the same time, he will provide strong support to them in Fushimi, so as to achieve peace and stability in the Mutsu area.

After consulting with Hideho, he gave the word "Xian" of his grandfather, Gamo Kenhide, the master of the Gamo clan's Zhongxing, to Yukichiyo, who was officially named Hideken for Toyotomi Hide. Yagami Yoshimitsu was very satisfied with this scene, and his heart was even more determined to form an alliance with the Gamo clan.

As for Matsuchiyo, who is only three years old, he was born to Hideho and Sakurahime. At that time, in order to win over Hideho and ask Toyotomi Hideyoshi to match, Asano Nagamasa forced Sakura Ji to be stuffed into Hidebo's house, Sakura Hime likes elegance, and has always looked down on these samurai who shout and shout to kill, and Hideho still entered the Yamato Toyotomi clan as his son-in-law's adopted son, and kept his distance from him at first, and kept his companionship with qin, chess, calligraphy and painting all day long.

But the so-called long-term love, after getting along for a long time, it is inevitable that there will be some affection, otherwise where does this Matsuchiyo come from? However, compared to the other concubines, Sakurahime is the most unpopular, but for the sake of Asano Nagamasa's face, Hideho can still be generally treated fairly. Therefore, this Yuan Costume Ceremony, Xiubao also let Matsuchiyo participate, and his black hat pro is also very weighty, that is the head of the Seven Divisions of the Martial Guard Division Judge Kato Kiyomasa. Kato Kiyomasa gave Matsuchiyo the word "Qing" and officially named it Hidekiyo, which was for Toyotomi Hidekiyo.

At this moment, anyone with a discerning eye can see Hideho's arrangement: Hideman is a son-in-law, and the Maeda Toshiya serves as a black hat parent, which can bring the relationship between the Yamato Toyotomi clan and the Maeda clan, the world's first outer, which is the so-called "strong alliance"; Xiuxian acts as a link to win over the daimyo of the Northeast foreign samples, and serves as a warning and reminder to other foreign samples; Hidekiyo is even more obvious, purely to win over the Owari faction led by Kato Kiyomasa and Asano Nagamasa, after all, they made great achievements in the Battle of Aizu, and their prestige and strength must be valued.

At this point, the Yuan Costume Ceremony was almost completed, and in full view of everyone, his purpose was also known to all the daimyos, and as the crowd gradually dispersed, Xiubao finally couldn't help but trot to Ah Jiang's side, gently caressing her bulging belly, and smiling and starting a new plan for the future.
