(At the same time that Tokugawa Ieyasu was in a hurry to Osaka, Ishida Mitsunari and several other commissioners were also informed by Asano Nagamasa that they set off by boat from each hiding place to return to Osaka overnight

Hideho was going to greet him in person, but was stopped by Fujido Takatora: "Why did the lord bend down to greet the Edo Inner Mansion?" ”

"Why?" Xiubao didn't know why, "He is the head of the five elders, and he is considered an elder, isn't it natural for me to go to greet him?" ”

Hearing this, Fujitang Gaohu smiled helplessly: "He is the head of the five elders, and you are the descendant of the young master; He is the Minister of the Interior, and you are the Minister of the Right; As for the elders, they are just the words of the people, how can the lord stoop down because of this? Besides, in this Osaka Rebellion, the lord has made great contributions, why did he go to meet Tokugawa Ieyasu, who was long overdue? ”

"This..."Xiubao frowned, and asked rhetorically: "Then you say, how should I deal with it, after all, he is a big name who plays the role of two million in Kanto, and this time he led three thousand elite soldiers to come, if it is not well received, it is difficult to guarantee that his fierce generals will not take advantage of the chaos to do something..."

Fujido Gaohu has already become a bamboo in his chest, and as soon as Hideho finished speaking, he blurted out: "The lord sits in Honmaru to clean up the mess, and the minister, as the elder of the family, is not rude to go to Hiranoguchi to greet him, what does the lord think?" ”

"That's a good idea," Xiubao nodded, and said approvingly: "It's worthy of being the first important minister of the family, then you have to go on a trip, just in case, the overlord will prepare you to bring it with you."

"Haha, the minister will go now" After that, Fujitang Takatora turned around and was about to leave, but as soon as he walked to the door, he thought of something, and returned his head and reminded: "Is the lord going to Nishinomaru to visit the Hokumasasho?" ”

"I know, you go first" Xiubao bowed slightly, and sent Fujido Takatora away, in fact, he didn't want to show goodwill to Beizheng, but she refused to order the two seven-hand group leaders in Marunai to guard the city gate from thousands of miles away, and no one was allowed to enter without her order, including Hidebo

There was no way, Xiubian led the army to bypass Nishinomaru and drive into Honmaru, at that time, Fujido Takatora was directing the removal of Ninomaru's horse fence, of course, he didn't know about this matter, but the scene of Xiubao being turned away made many generals see it, including many of the Seven-Hand Group's Shomizu Shoujiu and others, seeing this situation, they must be a little more suspicious of Hidebo's prestige

This side just sent someone to pick up Tokugawa Ieyasu's side of the Maori family envoy and came to Osaka, known as the "first diplomatic monk in the West", Ankokuji Huiqiong often presides over major events in place of Maori Terumoto, this time to learn that there is a rebellion in Osaka, it is a matter of course, on the one hand, he sent someone to inform Terumoto, who was in Aki, on the other hand, he took his own initiative, and rushed from Yamato Kofukuji Temple to Osaka as a Maori family envoy, and on the way he also met Fukushima Takayoshi, who was stationed on the border of Yamato Mountain Castle on the order of Hidebo, and shamelessly borrowed three hundred troops from him to go on the road together, It is said that he took the opportunity to clear out the defeated rebels along the road, but in fact he was greedy for life and afraid of death, and wanted to mix in the army to save his life, but after all, he was the messenger of the Maori family, even if Fukushima Takayoshi was a hundred unwilling, but after all, he still sent two hundred troops to escort him to Osaka, because of the light and simple travel, he finally arrived at the structure defended by the Seven Hands Group one step faster, and this slight lead made him complacent for a long time: "Our Maori family is the first daimyo to arrive in Osaka."

For this diplomatic monk, Xiu Barium did not have a good impression, after learning that he arrived at Soga on behalf of the Maori family, he only sent Komiyayama Harutsu to lead three or five attendants to greet him, this pomp is obviously the same as dealing with the Tokugawa family, one heaven and one underground, but Ankokuji Huiqiong did not feel that someone came to greet him, but happily sighed: "It seems that my Huiqiong still has a bit of status"

With the arrival of dawn, Asano Nagamasa Ukita Hidekashi Shumasa Ishida Mitsunari and other elders led the army to Osaka one after another, and even some small daimyo also "heard the news" and rushed to Osaka Castle Town, asking to meet Hideyori and Yodohime, just one morning, nearly 10,000 troops gathered outside the structure, fortunately, Hidebo urgently mobilized 5,000 people from Yamato to maintain order, so that there was no unnecessary trouble in Osaka, not to mention whether they really "just got the news", just look at Tokugawa Ieyasu instantly pulled an army of 3,000 people, You can sense the cattiness in this

"To be able to organize such a large army in half a night, the inner government is really not an ordinary person," Hideho said to Tokugawa Ieyasu in the palace

How could Tokugawa Ieyasu not understand the meaning of Hidebo's words, but because he had no fear, he had a look of "what can you do to me", and slowly stroked his beard and smiled: "Your Highness is joking, you are the hero who defeated the army to quell the rebellion overnight, compared to you, Ieyasu is still far behind, just now I heard Sado Mamoru say that you have transferred 5,000 troops from Yamato, which... I'm afraid it's not within Ieyasu's reach, right? ”

Hearing him say this, Hideho became a little passive, but fortunately, Tokugawa Ieyasu also knew that this was not the time for the two to clash, so he just tacitly looked at Hideho and smiled, and did not reveal an aggressive aura

On the contrary, it was Ishida Mitsunari, who rushed from Sakai Port to Osaka, and as soon as he entered the city, he went to Honmaru to meet Hideyori and Yodohime despite everyone's obstruction, but considering Hideyori's injury, Yodohime did not allow him to climb the castle tower, which really gave Mitsunari a resounding slap in the face: "It seems that Madame has a disgust for me"

Thinking of this, he went straight to the palace and asked Xiubao to come forward to introduce him, but the palace was making a lot of noise about how to deal with Ono Jicho and others, and Ishida's request was directly rejected by everyone: "Zhibu, the young master and his wife are indeed fine, you can rest assured, the most important thing now is how to deal with the criminal ministers who launched this rebellion, you are the head of the five commissions, you should not be indifferent to this, right?" ”

"How come," Ishida Mitsunari roared, and said indignantly: "The whole process of the rebellion Asano Danmasa has already been said to Zai Xia, I think you all know who participated in this rebellion, according to the bottom of the view, the culprit Ra must be pulled to Rokujo Kawara to be beheaded, as for the accomplice, either seppuku or change, at least exile, this should be no problem, right?" ”

"I've already discussed what you're talking about," Hideho snorted and smiled, "What I'm most concerned about now is, who do you think is the main culprit and who is the accessory?" ”

"What? You've already discussed it?! Ishida Mitsunari looked at Hideho in surprise, and the implication was that Hideho had formulated the punishment plan when he, the head of the Five Commissioners, was not present, but he also pretended to ask for his own opinion, which was clearly to make himself laugh at everyone

"It's not up to one person to decide whether to be a principal or accomplice, so I'd like to hear the opinions of a few adults involved in the counterinsurgency," Ishida Mitsunari looked at Shohisa Hayami and Nagami Ito on the side

"I think that the main culprits are Osamu Ohno and Brother Richo the day before yesterday" In the surprised eyes of everyone, Matsuura Shuren said with a high voice

"Oh, what do you think Iyomori should do with it?" Tokugawa Ieyasu asked with a smile

"Didn't we discuss it, the main culprit was beheaded" Matsuura Hideren felt that such a way of dealing with the amount was reasonable, and he finally added: "Confiscate the territory and exile the whole clan"

"Who dares?!" Hearing only the sound of "hula", the paper door of the palace opened in an instant, and looking at the three or five people shouting at the door, the daimyo here couldn't help but gasp (to be continued

ps: There are still 100 people left, and the collection will reach 3,000
