Hearing Xiubao's words, Ogasawara Takakiyo and the others were inconvenient to say anything, but Changlianlong also had a little good impression of Xiubao: "I heard that His Royal Highness Youfu is tolerant and open-minded and does not treat people with malice. ”

"I'm afraid this bit of tolerance is not as good as one-tenth of the big words, and the adults are really rewarded." Xiubao immediately bowed to Changlianlong.

"Your Royal Highness is too modest, this time to quell the civil strife, the merits of the Right Mansion are the best in the world, this is what the old lord thinks is true." After that, Changlian Long solemnly bowed to Hideho, as a representative of the Maeda clan, his words were enough to show the Maeda clan's attitude towards Hideho.

At the same time as the two were talking, in Osaka Castle not far away, Ishida Mitsunari and Nagashu Masaka, Masuda Nagamori, and Maeda Genyi had been talking for almost a day. Unlike the more relaxed atmosphere on Mt. Ikoma, the atmosphere in Ishida Mitsunari's yashiki is very oppressive and tense.

Earlier, Asano Nagamasa followed Hideho's arrangement to leave the town of Kanto, and Ishida Mitsunari was naturally elected by the joint council as the new head of the Five Commissions, and as the head of the Five Commissions, he gained a huge voice in domestic affairs and further consolidated his position in the center.

Compared with the division of the five elders, the five commissioners are relatively "united" internally, and Ishida Mitsunari, Masuda Nagamori, and Nagashu Masaka have been closely related from beginning to end. Although Nagashu Masaka had served Hideho for a short period of time, he had always been concerned about his duties, and he did not receive the expected reuse and preferential treatment under Hidebo, so he finally broke away from the Yamato Toyotomi clan at the invitation of Ishida Mitsunari and re-entered the center with what he pursued, becoming a member of the "Iron Triangle".

Asano Nagamasa was appointed as the head of the pen during Toyotomi Hideyoshi's lifetime, but as Ishida Mitsunari grew in power and the Owari faction was declining in the center, he finally accepted Hidebo's suggestion and went to the fiefdom of Ueno in the Kanto region to sit in the Kanto region and monitor the movements of Tokugawa Ieyasu and other daimyos. As for the struggle for central power, Asano Nagamasa seems to be relieved, he feels that as long as Hideho can take power, he will one day be able to return to Osaka Castle and sit back in his rightful place.

Relatively "alternative" is Maeda Genyi, judging from the recent performance, this power monk is on the surface neutral, even slightly biased towards Ishida Mitsunari, but behind the scenes is Tokugawa Ieyasu's henchmen, at the meeting to decide whether to send troops to Aizu, he voted in favor of Tokugawa Ieyasu's signal, and in the end it was a vote difference, Hideho was forced to start the war against Uesugi Keikatsu, and the nationwide war also began. Now that Tokugawa Ieyasu was defeated, Tokugawa Hidetada was killed in battle, and the Tokugawa army was disbanded, all of which were beyond Maeda's expectations, and he didn't have time to think about the reasons for the defeat of the Tokugawa army, but he quickly thought of a "remedy", that is, immediately moved closer to Ishida Mitsunari.

Because his relationship with the Tokugawa family was not exposed, Maeda Genyi was able to successfully gain the trust of Ishida Mitsunari, and Ishida Mitsunari was also happy to accept his overtures, after all, once Maeda Genyi joined his camp, his position in the Five Commissions would be absolutely solidified.

After this battle, the Right Mansion completely suppressed the Tokugawa, Mori, and Uesugi Empire, and with the two daimyo of Ukita and Maeda, who had been close to him before the war, the Right Mansion had already completed its control over the Five Elders. In this way, we should pay more attention to the pursuit of internal unity, and I feel that it is time to consider Asano's departure and stay. With him embedded in our midst, it will be difficult to carry out some of the affairs that he is responsible for, let alone fight against the right government. Masuda Nagamori was very clear about the situation, but due to the previous conflict with Hideho and Hidebo's growing vigilance, he unconsciously stood on the opposite side of Hideho.

In the face of Masuda Nagamori's suggestion, Ishida Mitsunari frowned and remained silent, but Nagashu Masaka, who was sitting next to him, was the first to express his opinion.

"Although he has long been out of service under the command of the Right Mansion, the people of the Right Mansion still know more about it. He is absolutely loyal to the young lord and Mrs. Yodo, and he also does his best to maintain the authority of the Toyotomi clan, and there is really no need for you to deliberately show hostility towards him, after all, he will return to Osaka soon, and it is really not wise to go against him at this time. ”

"Youfu has made great achievements in war, and he is in the limelight, and there is no benefit in making enemies with him at this time. According to the poor monk's opinion, the top priority is to consider how to win over the daimyo who are about to arrive in Osaka, and not let the right government steal the limelight alone. "Maeda Genyi has always been conservative, challenging a strong enemy has never been his choice, originally Oda Nobunaga's retainer, Honnoji followed Toyotomi Hideyoshi, after Hideyoshi died of illness and secretly contacted Tokugawa Ieyasu, he always insisted on following the strong, and now Hideho defeated the Tokugawa clan, although it was unexpected, but it also made him afraid of Hidebo, and his eldest son Maeda Shigekatsu also participated in the garrison of Goto Mountain Castle, which can be regarded as a small merit, all things considered, he is also unwilling to confront Hideho immediately.

Everyone expressed their thoughts, and at this time, Ishida Sanchen slowly raised his head and said to the three commissioners in the hall: "Compared with the Inner Mansion and An Yi Zhongyan, I think that the loyalty of the Right Mansion to the young master can still be believed. However, believing does not mean that it can be trusted, if the general trend has been set today, who can be sure that the right government at this time and the right government before the war still have the same idea? People will change, especially when the power is in hand, the monk is reasonable, what we have to do now is to try our best to win over the name of Shangluo this time, and we must not let the advantages of the right house be further expanded. ”

"If the Right Mansion is still loyal to the young master and the clan, we can help him and assist him; If the Right Mansion breaks the oath to the Taiko, we must also have the ability to oppose him and confront him, and in this regard, the strength of our people is not enough, and we must have the support of more daimyos. He is reluctant to go toe-to-toe with the right government, and he is not far away from forming a party for his own selfish interests, but his own strength must be strengthened, only in this way can he maintain the balance of the center in the coming days and avoid the right government from monopolizing power, which is very necessary for him and for the young master. ”

After listening to Ishida Mitsunari's statement, the other three commissioners were deeply touched. They knew that Ishida Mitsunari had already regarded the Goshu as the last line of defense to protect Hideyori, and it was also a floodgate to prevent Hideho from encroaching on the interests of the Toyotomi clan. As for the internal stability of the Toyotomi clan, it is not entirely possible to rely on Hideho's own restraint, but also to take necessary precautions, and what precautions to take will be the focus of the next step of the government's work.
