As the minutes passed, Hideyoshi stood up and walked up to Hideho and asked with "concern", "Tatsuchiyo, have you thought about it?" Do you want to prove your loyalty, or do you choose the so-called brotherhood? ”

Xiubao understands that Hideyoshi has been ruthless, even if he refuses to go, he will still send someone else after all, rather than this, it is better to do it himself, presumably in this case, Xiuji should not die too desolately, at least... At least when he left, he had his younger brother by his side to see him off.

Xiubao closed his teeth tightly and spit out a few words with difficulty: "The minister is willing to personally correct Xiuci to show his loyalty." Hearing this, Hideyoshi finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his tone became a little calmer, he squatted down, patted Hideho's shoulder, and comforted with a little sympathy: "Things have developed to this point, you can't blame others, you can only blame yourself, Xiuji is a disaster, others can't hide, you still desperately move closer to him, otherwise you won't be caught, whether you have the heart or not, the thing has happened, you don't have to blame yourself, when you finish dealing with it, just bury him, Originally, this kind of traitor is to be punished with capital punishment, but I am considerate of your intentions before I deal with this, so you don't have to be burdened, and finally go and accompany him. ”

Xiubao lowered his head deeply, his voice trembled a little, but he was still neither humble nor arrogant: "Your Highness understands the intentions of your subordinates, and the minister really understands it, and he is grateful. With that, Hideho stood up, bowed respectfully, turned around, grasped Onimaru in his right hand, and walked out of the main hall quickly.

Looking at the back of Hideho leaving, Hideyoshi had mixed feelings and sighed: "Tatsuchiyo, don't blame me, presumably only by experiencing this kind of thing can you really grow up and adapt to this troubled world, otherwise... How can I trust Shimaru and the Toyotomi family to the world with confidence. ”

Fushi's sight of Koyasan took less than two days to get the whip fast, but Hidebo walked for four days, and he never understood that Hideji had become a monk with nothing, why Hideyoshi still refused to let him go, could it be that Hideji was really a threat to Shimaru that could not be ignored? Xiubao can't understand it, and he can't understand it, maybe only when he becomes a person like Hideyoshi, can he understand this kind of practice of protecting the foundation and not recognizing the six relatives.

Surrounded by 1,000 meters of high mountains, Koyasan is also the general name for these mountains, and is located in Ito-gun, Kii Province, because its terrain is similar to that of a lotus flower when it blooms, and it is also known as the "Peak of Eight Leaves". There are eight peaks such as the inner eight-leaf court mountain, which surrounds the "fundamental tower"; There are also eight outer peaks such as the Imalai Peak surrounded by the outer periphery. This terrain is very suitable for a Buddhist holy site, and it can be said to be a religious city on the mountain. However, in fact, there is no such thing as "Koyasan", it is just a place name surrounded by mountains, and it is also the name of the mountain "Kongobuji", the main mountain of Shingon Tantra.

Kongobuji Temple is the result of the merger of Hideyoshi's Seiganji Temple and Kozanji Temple, and Seiganji Temple is also known as Seijuku-ji Temple, which is where Hideji became a monk. Entering the mountain, the temperature plummeted, and Hideho came to the west hall of Seiganji Temple trembling under the guidance of Shami.

At this time, although Xiuji was a monk and completely changed, he was still recognized by Xiubao at a glance, and at this time he was drinking strong tea and playing shogi with a monk with great interest, while another young monk sat at the coffee table, occasionally filling the teapot. Seeing Hideho walk into the West Hall, Hideji was overjoyed, stood up excitedly, pulled Hideho to the table, pointed to the chessboard and said, "Tatsuchiyo, look, Brother Wei is finally going to win a game, hahaha!" ”

Hideho looked at Hideji, couldn't help but shed tears, and said to him tremblingly, "Brother, I'm here this time..." Xiubao interrupted Xiubao with a roar, his eyes still fixed on the chessboard, but he was a little incoherent, only to see him pointing with his hands indiscriminately, stammering and repeating: "I'm going to win, I'm going to win!" Look, me, I'm finally going to win! Xiubao turned his head with tears in his eyes, he really couldn't bear to look at it, believing that Xiuji already knew that his catastrophe was approaching, and this was just to comfort himself.

Xiubao wiped his tears, stabilized his mood, and smiled heartily: "Brother is so powerful, it's better to be a younger brother." Xiuji listened to Xiubao's praise, but instead restrained his smile, sighed and picked up a chess piece, and said to himself to the chess piece: "At the beginning, as Guan Bai, he was high and powerful, and was admired by thousands of people, but he was just a chess piece of Taige; Now I am a monk, poor and alone, but I am finally free from control and can live for myself. This is what I have felt in the past few months, but I didn't expect that in the end, life and death would still be decided by him. ”

Xiubao didn't expect this killer Guan Bai to be so open-minded about the exile, so he asked, "It seems that my brother already knows what I came here for, could it be that someone informed you in advance?" Xiuji laughed, pointed to the monk next to the coffee table and said: "Don't worry that no one is informing, these are what this master told me, he said that Taige would not forgive me, and he would definitely cut the grass and eradicate the roots, I didn't believe it at first, but today your arrival made his prophecy come true." Master Chongchuan is really a god. ”

The young monk bowed his head deeply, and said calmly: "Everything in the world has a catastrophe, and what should come will always come, and it is not up to people to decide. ”

Xiuji led Xiubao to the monk and introduced: "This is the abbot of Fuyan Temple, Master Chongchuan, since I fell here, he often came to admonish me to play chess to calm the resentment in my heart, at first I did not agree, but as time passed, I really became indifferent to suffering, and I didn't expect that now I have reached the realm of life and death, these are the merits of the master." ”

"Worship with your heart?" Xiubao was stunned for a moment, "May I ask if you are studying under the third master of Xuanpu Ling?" Only then did the young monk raise his head and ask in some surprise, "How can Your Highness know?" The poor monk didn't mention it to others. ”

"Sure enough, it's him." Xiubao lamented his luck, this person is as famous as Nanguangfang Tianhai, and is known as the "black-clothed prime minister" by the world. This person is the second son of the Ashikaga clan retainer Isshiki Hidekatsu, the general Ashikaga Yoshiaki who initiated the Nobunaga siege network in the first year of Tensho was defeated by Oda Nobunaga and exiled, Isshiki Hidekatsu was not valued because of his lack of outstanding talent, and Shimono Isshiki Hidekatsu was unable to raise too many children, so he asked the Nanzenji Temple of the Rinzai sect near to lead the young second son to worship under the door of the famous monk Genpo Reizo, and the name of the law was revered from the heart. After Sekigahara, Chongden wrote the "Bantenren Chase Release Decree" on behalf of the shogunate, and drafted the "Prohibition of Chuku and Public Laws", the temple laws that specialized in the management of temples, and the samurai laws, and these decrees made a great contribution to the effective management of the Edo shogunate in Japan.

Most crucially, in order to find an excuse for war with the Osaka side, Tokugawa Ieyasu had a secret discussion with Chongchuan, and finally Chongchuan suggested that the words "the country is healthy, the monarch and the minister are happy" on the inscription of the Vatican bell were played, alleging that he wanted to curse Ieyasu and pray for the prosperity of the Toyotomi family, and at the same time, he also joined many famous monks of the Five Mountains and the Zhuzi scholar Lin Luoshan to accuse the Toyotomi family. Finally, the Toyotomi family started a war in the name of angering Ieyasu, which led to the destruction of the Toyotomi family in the end.

Thinking of this, Hideho was surprised and delighted, glad that he could at least eliminate a threat to the Toyotomi regime.
