Chapter 174: The Old Things Are Revisited
"Because of your secret report, on the day of the wedding, I was taken to Osaka by the Yellow Mother of Taige to ask for guilt, but fortunately, Taige was wise, and it didn't take long to see through your lies, and the next morning I was put back to Koriyama Castle and you claimed that 'every sentence is true', is it possible to doubt Taige's judgment ability?" Hideho raised his head and stared at Matsukura Shigemasa with a pair of piercing eyes, as if someone else was going to eat him alive if it weren't for someone else's super performance
"The minister didn't really say anything... How could Taiko Wise and Shenwu misjudge, but the foreign minister is not talking nonsense..."Matsukura Shigemasa didn't expect that Hideho would go online and put this matter on the deceased Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and he suddenly felt like walking on thin ice, and stammered and didn't know how to answer
"It's not nonsense, then please come up with evidence, otherwise, Hugh is not welcome" Xiubao felt that he had gained the upper hand, and his tone was soothed, and he took a sip of tea lightly, waiting for Matsukura Shigemasa to make it clear
"Let's talk about the first article on the 'Matsukura Form', you said that I allowed the sergeant to slaughter the Tokugawa family's banner, how do you know about this?" Xiu Jump already has the answer, so I just want to hear how Matsukura Shigemasa fulfills this lie
"It's... I listened to the nearby farmers," Matsukura Shigemasa replied stiffly
"Peasant, such a big thing, just based on the one-sided words of a peasant?" Hideho asked
"Well, the foreign minister misremembered, it's not a peasant, it looks like a scout ninja sent by some family or something, it's not a peasant anyway, it's just a little similar," Matsukura Shigemasa said solemnly
"Which ninja?" Xiubao did not give up
"This..."Matsukura Shigemasa hesitated, "It's been so long, and the foreign minister doesn't remember it for a long time."
"My lord, the minister thinks that ninjas are more difficult to believe than farmers, after all, ninjas are supported by daimyo, if it is a ninja who has a gap with his family, then this is definitely a golden opportunity, Matsukura-sama, how can you believe what these ninjas say? Please think carefully about which ninja it is, and before you make up your mind, go and bring it, and confront you" Fujido Takatora "asked enthusiastically", the so-called "hidden knife in a smile" is exactly that
When Matsukura Shigemasa heard this, he was suddenly shocked into a cold sweat, and hurriedly shook his head and said: "The foreign minister really can't remember which one, Sado Mamoru is right, it's the foreign minister who is too careless, and he actually believes the ninja's words, it's really damned."
"Is that the second clause that says that I and Madame Komahime are not meeting for the first time, where did you hear that?" Xiubao said calmly
"This, this..."Matsukura Shigemasa remembered Fang Cai Xiubao's investigation, and couldn't help but look forward a little, in order not to drag down the mastermind behind the scenes, he Suo Xing also shook his head: "It's all from that ninja's mouth, well..."
"Oh, then this is also hearsay, now it's a summer one, if I'm not mistaken, to the effect that I intend to unite with the former Guan Bai against Taige, this..."
"That's not what I said!" As soon as he heard this, Matsukura Shigemasa finally poured out the resentment that was holding back in his heart, "The foreign minister didn't expect that this was definitely not the original intention of the foreign minister."
"It's not your original intention, is someone forcing you to fail?!" Xiu was full of opportunities and asked
"Yes, Matsukura-sama, you have to think clearly, is anyone forcing you to do that, or is this your intention, just trying to find an excuse to shirk?" What Hideho didn't expect was that before Matsukura Shigemasa could speak, Ishida Mitsunari took the lead and gave him a serious tone again
"Isn't this three hundred taels of silver here," Hideho muttered in his heart, "It seems that this matter is inseparable from this Ishida Jibu."
Matsukura Shigemasa was so intimidated by Ishida Mitsunari that he was really a little timid, and he wanted to vomit, but at this moment, he reluctantly closed his mouth again, and could only mutter: "After such a long time, the foreign minister has forgotten who said it, anyway, it was not my intention"
"The old man can see it," Maeda Toshiya patted his knee and said while coughing: "This so-called 'Matsukura shape', it turns out that none of them has real evidence, how can you, a small city lord, dare to frame the pillars of the country to such an extent, who is instructed?!" ”
"The foreign minister was not instructed by anyone" Matsukura Shigemasa hung his head, and no matter how much Maeda Toshiie pressed him, he refused to reveal a few words of useful information
"Your Highness," Fujido Takatora bowed and gestured to the former Tian Toshiya, "The foreign minister can speculate a thing or two about the reason."
Maeda Toshiya was surprised and delighted, and said with relief: "I have long heard that Mamoru Sado is extremely intelligent, comparable to the right-hand man of the right house, please tell me what you think"
Fujido Takatora bowed again and analyzed it carefully: "I don't know if you know that this Matsukura-sama under the hall is Matsukura Shigenobu, that is, the son-in-law of the former elder of the Tsutsui family, and his position in the family is very important, so what he does must be inseparable from his own family."
"Of course, this is just speculation, as for whether it is really as Gao Hu said, and continue to analyze it later" After that, Fujido Takatora turned his head to Tsutsui Shunding on the side, and asked respectfully: "Your Highness Tsutsui, if I remember correctly, the Matsukura family's hereditary Zhixing Castle is not in Yusheng Castle in Yamada County, but in Fukuchi Castle in Ashu County."
Tsutsui Shun nodded steadily: "That's right, the Matsukura family was originally a wealthy family in Atsu County, and Shigenobu officially became a retainer of the family when he became the lord, and his original territory was transformed into Zhixing."
"Then may I ask, how much did the Matsukura family know how much they used to do, but now?" Fujido Takatora asked
"It used to be 8,000 koku, but now it's only 1,200 koku" Speaking of this, Tsutsui Shun Seidami was a little embarrassed
"The old man seems to understand what Mamoru Sado means," Maeda Toshiya wiped a handful of gray beards: "Could it be that Matsukura Shigemasa slandered His Royal Highness the Right Mansion and his reduction of the seal?" ”
"Da Na is wise," Fujido Takatora sincerely expressed his admiration, "This is just a lowly speculation, I want to ask His Highness Tsutsui, what is the reason for the reduction of the seal?" ”
"This matter, it is indeed because of His Royal Highness the Right Mansion" Tsutsui Shun Seta was resentful, "In order to exempt himself from the burden of military service in the construction of Gotoyama Castle, my father was forced to reach an agreement with His Royal Highness the Right Mansion, allowing him to garrison in Iga County, ziyou through West Iga, I didn't think about it for a long time, Iga name Zhang Er County was actually full of troops and castles of the Right Prefecture, and even the people fled to Yamato, which had a generous policy, and the two counties couldn't make ends meet, so they had no choice but to move the city to Fukuchi Castle, the largest city in Ito in the east, correspondingly, With the loss of the income of the two counties, the retainers' zhiyuki were also reduced, and it was from then on that the Matsukura family's zhiyuki was reduced to 1,200 koku."
"That is to say, the resentment is extremely resentful, and Lord Matsukura blames the right house for the reduction of the seal, so he is talking nonsense about the so-called 'Matsukura shape', intending to frame the right house in order to relieve the hatred in his heart" Fujido Takatora smiled coldly, as long as Matsukura Shigemasa admits it, then the next discussion on the return of Iga will have the upper hand
