Chapter 259: Grievances

Finding Hideho and Ishida Mitsunari walking towards him, the samurai who were arguing with Ito Nagami suddenly quieted down a lot, for the same reason, but Tokugawa Ieyasu had taken special care of him before he came, this Yamato Right Mansion is by no means as simple as it seems, it looks elegant and modest, but there are many insidious ideas in his heart, unless it is absolutely necessary, he must avoid arguing with him, otherwise the tragedy of Tsuda Masanari two months ago is likely to repeat itself on them - after all, he is the most ruthless character in Osaka Castle

Hideho smiled and walked towards the door, but his expression only added to the fear and anxiety in the hearts of the samurai

"It's a shame to trouble the right government and the government to come, it's a shame to be humble" Ito Nagami bowed deeply, pointed to the leading samurai next to him, and introduced: "This is the elder of the Uki family, His Royal Highness Ukita Sakyo Ryo"

"The foreign minister Ukita Kanjia meets the right house and the governance department" I saw the middle-aged man with a mustache bowed slightly, and said in a proud tone: "The foreign minister is the cousin of the prime minister Bizen, and he serves as the elder of the family at home, and these people next to him are Togawa Hizen Mamoru Daan Hanabo Shima Shoumasao Echizen Mamoru Toshimori, and the one who is blocking the door in the distance is Akashi Sabu Quanden, except for Nagafune Yoshibei did not come, all the elders of the Bizen Hall family have arrived, and our intention to come this time has been explained to Tango Mamoru that it is the elimination of the lord general Nakamura Jiro Shoho, clean up the door, and hope that the two adults will persuade the lord for the minister, save the hurt and angry, you have also seen, it is still very easy to break open this door, we are to eliminate the lord lost and return, no longer deceived by the minister"

After that, the Ukita family raised their eyes and looked at Hideho and Ishida Mitsunari slightly, only to see that the two of them had different expressions, Hideho still had a peaceful face, did not speak but seemed to be thinking about something, while Ishida Mitsunari was eyes glaring like a copper bell and panted angrily, and said angrily: "How can you say that the Nakamura Criminal Department is the head of the Uki family, even if there is a mistake, you have to listen to the disposal of the front hall, as a retainer, and lead the troops to surround the lord without authorization, are there any rules in the eyes of the house?!" ”

"We can't manage so much" In the face of Ishida Mitsunari's accusation, the Ukita family is also-for-tat: "Since Nagasfune Kii Mamoru served as the head of the house, the internal affairs of the family have been in a mess, and in the past few years, he has sent troops to Kanto and North Korea with Taiko, and the expenses for the lord and Haoji, which is not the province of the collar to squeeze out thrift, I thought that the Nakamura Criminal Department could think more about the people in the collar after taking office, but the result was, it became even worse, he was an old minister when Mrs. Haoji was in Hokuriku, Instead of admonishing him, he built a church and requisitioned the land of the Buddhist temple for his own efforts, you must know that the family has believed in the Nichiren sect since three generations ago, and now let this Jili Shitan do whatever he wants, wouldn't it be even necessary to move the foundation Iridium Ishida Zhibu Foreign minister knows that you have a good relationship with the Nakamura Criminal Department, and this matter is related to the life and death of the family, and I hope you can understand"

"What are you talking about?!" Ishida Sancheng was taken aback, and hurriedly denied it: "I am just a general friend with the Nakamura Criminal Department, and I usually interact with each other for official business, not as you said...... Then again, although the criminal department has encroached on the temple territory, the crime is not death, you are making such a fuss about the people."

"Sin does not unto death?" Ishida Mitsunari's rebuttal strengthened the Ukita family's determination: "If you knew what the Nakamura Criminal Department did when it was inspected, you wouldn't say that."

"What do you mean by that?" Ishida Mitsunari asked

Ukita Quanjia sighed and said carefully: "When I went out to Korea, the Taiko inspection of the main family stone was 578,000 stones; Last month, the Nakamura Criminal Department was ordered to inspect the land again, and the stone height of the family became 584,000 stones, which did not seem to have increased much, but the retainers who complained to the elders lined up, and they all reacted that the Nakamura Criminal Department would include some of the mountains and fragmentary dry fields in their territory into the list of fertile fields, which invisibly increased the tax, but it was strange to Xia and several family elders: If this is the case, then the stone height should increase a lot Ai In order not to even reach 10,000 stones? So we sent people to visit all parts of the territory, and got an astonishing answer: Nakamura Criminal Department accepted bribes in the process of inspecting the land, and he was a little sloppy with the lord who gave the money. Lowering the stone height in their territory, for the lord who does not give money or has an enmity with him, it is to count all kinds of fields as good land, so that although the total stone height remains the same, but the stone height of each lord is very different, on the one hand, he is secretly happy, on the other hand, he is bitter, and the people in the territory are miserable. ”

Listening to the complaints of the Ukita family, Ishida Mitsunari finally fell silent, he didn't expect that the Nakamura Jiro Guard, who he was bent on cultivating, was such a good, he is now difficult to protect himself, let alone borrow him to pull the Ukita Hide's family, four of the six family elders now want to kill him quickly, it seems that he can't be saved no matter what, but it's a blessing not to involve himself

Thinking of this, Ishida Mitsunari stopped arguing and gave up the initiative to the Ukita family, in fact, this Ukita Zuo Jingliang is not a good person, and when Nagafune Tsunao was in power, the two of them colluded and concealed that Shi High School was full of private pockets; After the Nakamura Criminal Department came to power, in order to fill the gap in Haohime's arrogant life, he canceled the benefits given to the Ukita Kan faction, which made these people reach an agreement with Tokugawa Ieyasu to plot to drive out the Nagasoe faction and take over the power of the family, and then the interests of the Nagafune faction will be filled in the shortfall, and their own interests will be preserved to the maximum

It was precisely because of the fame on the surface, the strong support of the Tokugawa family behind him, and the Ukita Hide's lack of questions about the affairs of the territory that these family elders felt that there was an opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity to make it difficult for the longship to be distributed

This matter Ishida Mitsunari and Ukita Hideya can be said to be unclear, but as a "person who has come" Hideho knows very well what is greasy, these family elders are just guys full of benevolence and morality, saying that they are for the sake of their own family, but they still have their own little abacus in their hearts, they have already thought of a way out for themselves, and the facts have proved this, these guys were driven out of the Uki family in history, but they were soon recruited by Tokugawa Ieyasu, and they became a role against the old master, and they worked very hard during the Battle of Sekigahara. This is enough to see who is behind the catastrophe of the Uki family

However, at this moment, Tokugawa Ieyasu, as the finale, has not yet made a super show, and feels that this is the perfect time to rewrite history

"Your Excellency's suffering, Xiubao empathizes, presumably you are already hungry after a long day of work, why don't you go to the izakaya in front of you to rest for a while, Xiubao goes into the house to persuade His Highness Bizen, I don't know what you think?"

"With your words, we are relieved," Ukita nodded with satisfaction, and with that, he led the dozen or so retainers towards the izakaya
