At dawn the next day, the Five Elders and the Five Ministers jointly informed the daimyos in Fushimi of Hideyoshi's death, and Hideho rushed to Nishinomaru as soon as possible, preparing to inform the Kitashosho of last night's decision.

"Madam, Taige died last night." Hideho came to the small Buddha hall and told the news to the Hokusho with a crying voice, this strange woman who had worked hard all her life for Hideyoshi's hegemony.

"Finally didn't hold up?" Bei Zhengsuo's body trembled slightly, then lowered his head, clenched the rosary tightly and said nothing.

"Is that all?" Hideho was a little surprised, as Hideyoshi's main room, the two have been together for decades, but in the end it was just a simple sentence, is this the emotion that husband and wife should have?

"Aren't you going to?" Hideho asked.

Beizheng shook his head: "Isn't there Mrs. Yodo, it's enough to have her."

Hideho seems to understand that the reason why Hokumassho behaves so plainly may be out of dissatisfaction with Hideyoshi's exclusive love of tea. Like the hearted Masamuro Noji, Ning Ning, who is the North Political Office, has never been able to give birth to a son and a half daughter to her husband.

On the contrary, in just a few years, Chacha gave birth to two sons for Hideyoshi, the first named Tsurumatsu, who died in a few years, and Hideyoshi also doted on the eldest lady of the Asai family.

On the other hand, the love given to Ning Ning, the wife of the knot, is less and less pitiful, and the rest is just the so-called respect. The Omi faction also took a fancy to this, so they spared no effort to get close to the Yodo lady, and the daimyo of the Owari faction, who supported the Hokkashosho, was suppressed and snubbed.

After being treated like this, how would she react to Hideyoshi's death, at most, it was a trace of nostalgia and a trace of sadness.

"There's something I want to report to you." Xiubao said slightly nervously. "About this Taiko's funeral. The minister consulted with a few elders. I think it's better to be presided over by Mrs. Yodo. ”

Only then did the North Masalong slowly raise his head, look at Xiubao in disbelief, and asked coldly, "Do you think it's appropriate for her to preside over it?"

Xiubao gritted his teeth and nodded, "Yes." According to the etiquette, it should be presided over by Mrs. Dian, although you are the main room of the Taige, but the young master is..."

"Enough!" Beizheng Office roared in a low voice: "Youfu, do you know your identity?"

"Identity? The minister is the hindsight of the young lord of Xiulai. Xiubao replied subconsciously.

"That's not what I meant. I wonder if you're from Omi or Owari. ”

"The minister's biological father and mother, and the adoptive father and adoptive mother are all from Owari Aichi Nakamura, and the minister is naturally from Owari." At this moment, Hideho can probably guess what Hokumasa wants to say.

Hearing Hideho say this, Hokumassho nodded: "It's good to know, don't look at the current call you 'Yamato Daiyan' or 'Omi Dainayan', but you have to remember that you are not Omi but Owari people, so the first thing you have to protect is the interests of the Owari faction, and I don't say this to resent you for supporting Lady Yodo to preside over the funeral." It's the fear that you'll be taken advantage of by others. ”

"Utilization?" Hideho asked, puzzled.

"That's right," Hokusho nodded. He said calmly: "You also know that except for Asano Nagamasa, the other four ministers all belong to the Omi faction, and they are all supporters of Lady Yodo, and Lady Yodo also trusts them very much, and this relationship seems to be unbreakable at present, and it is precisely because of this that I decided to live in seclusion and avoid fighting with them." But because of my forbearance, the Owari faction has been repeatedly attacked, such as Kato Kiyomasa and Fukushima Masanori, who have been snubbed due to the framing of the four commissions, they were all brought up by me, I don't know what it is? How could Taige listen to slander, and there was no reason for them to justify it, to say that the two factions were in flames, and it was also caused by their gangs.

Since you gained the favor of the Taiko, giving the Owari faction hope again, it is natural for them to see you as a leader, thinking that you will lead them to a fight with the Omi people. And you did, and that gave me a little comfort that at least you did what I wanted to do but wasn't able to do.

It is precisely because of the support of the Owari faction that you have increased your political bargaining chips, and the Taiko has reestimated your strength, and finally handed over the position of Houmi to you. But at this moment, you supported Mrs. Yodo to preside over the funeral, which made you fall to the Omi faction. ”

"The minister just wants to maintain the authority of the young master, and he doesn't plan to form an alliance with the young assistant of the ruling department." Xiubao hurriedly interrupted the North Political Office, and said with some complaints: "The reason why the minister did this is because he didn't want the family to fight against him as soon as Taige left, and accidentally let outsiders take advantage of the loophole."

"Outsiders?" Beizheng frowned, "Do you mean the inner house?" ”

"How do you know?" Hideho was surprised.

"As early as last night, the Inner Government sent someone to tell me the news of Taige's death overnight, and he also told me that he wanted to support me to preside over the funeral, but you vetoed it." Hokumassho stared at Hideho coldly, and she could see that she was very disappointed in this nephew.

"This old fox!" Xiubao's eyes were revealed, and he gritted his teeth and said: "He is deliberately provoking the relationship between the minister and you, and wants the Toyotomi family to be forever peaceful!"

"Yes," Hokusho was surprisingly calm, and said slowly: "Do you know, the reason why the Owari faction has not been defeated is mostly because of the mediation between the inner government, without him, the Owari faction would have been gone a long time ago, and you actually think that he has bad intentions?" There are some wicked people in His Royal Highness Youfu who sue first, right? ”

"You don't believe me?" Hideho looked at Kitamassho in surprise.

"I only believe in the facts, and I don't think so-called this presiding officer, but if you take advantage of everyone's trust in you to form an alliance with the Omi faction, or even want to unite against His Highness the Inner Palace, then I can't stand idly by." Beizheng's tone was calm, but it was sharp, like a threatening tone.

"What do you mean by that? Do you trust the inner government so much? Xiubao asked with anger suppressed.

The corners of Hokumasasho's mouth curled slightly, and he replied coldly: "At least he will not be used by the Omi faction, and he will not betray the interests of the Owari people."

"Madame!" Xiubao was bearable, and said angrily: "The minister did not betray you and the Owari faction, everything the minister did was for the sake of the Toyotomi family!"

"Don't say it," Hokatomasin lowered his head again and closed his eyes, silently reading, "I won't force you to do what you don't want to do, but don't force me either, if you plan to curry favor with Lady Yodo and those ministers at the expense of the Owari faction, then please stay away from us countrymen and be your 'Omi Daiyan'." After speaking, the North Administration Office waved his hand and motioned for the attendants to send off the guests.

"You really misunderstood the minister," Hideho turned and walked to the door, and couldn't help but say, "The minister will never betray you and the Owari faction, as for the inner house, time will tell." To be continued.
