Chapter Twenty-Five: Left and Right

Although it was close to noon, the number of participants did not decrease in the slightest, and then the problem of everyone having to eat had to be considered, but fortunately, Horio Yoshiharu had already thought of this, and had already arranged for people to cook delicious vegetarian dishes in the kitchen of a nearby temple.

In order to ensure the quality, Hideho personally inspected Kenninji Temple, where Hideyoshi made meals, and only returned to the venue with peace of mind after making sure that it was correct. As soon as he walked outside the venue, Hideho felt that the atmosphere of the venue at this time was obviously different from before he left just now, Asano, Kato and others, who were still talking and laughing with him just now, but at this time they lowered their heads and drank alcohol with serious expressions, while Ishida Mitsunari and others were as excited as villains at the moment, and they talked loudly without scruples, even many of the daimyo who had not had a holiday with them showed disdain, and drank tea by themselves, not wanting to pay attention to them at all.

Hideho didn't understand the situation at all, until he saw an extra guard of honor in front of the door, "I guess the lady is here." Hideho said.

Sure enough, as soon as he walked into the venue, Hideho saw another set of tea sets beside Hideyoshi, and the owner of this tea set was diligently ordering tea for Hideyoshi, while Nene Ning, who was sitting on the other side, was casually talking with other daimyos, as if he was used to this kind of scene.

Seeing Hideho walk in, the Owari faction on both sides of the seats bowed as if they had seen a savior, and they all bowed and saluted, shouting "His Highness in the Waiter" in their mouths, this scene made Hideho a little embarrassed, he was only seventeen years old, so it was really unbearable to let these people be like this. Hideyoshi, who was on the throne, only noticed Hideho at this time, and beckoned to him excitedly, "Tatsuchiyo is coming, hurry up and come to meet Mrs. Nishimaru." ”

Although he wants to show his disdain for the Omi faction, he still can't show it too obviously in front of Hideyoshi, and if he makes Hideyoshi unhappy, I'm afraid that it will be enough for Hideho to drink a pot without Ishida's hands.

Hideho respectfully walked to the front of the banquet and bowed, this Mrs. Saimaru is Yodohime, she is only twenty-eight years old this year, which is the most coquettish age, seeing such a young and handsome young man, she can't help but feel a little moved, but it's a pity that she married Hideyoshi, otherwise... It's hard for anyone to say.

"Your Highness, please get up." Cha Cha hurriedly said, "I have long heard that His Royal Highness is talented and promising, and he is really worthy of his reputation when I see it today." ”

Xiubao listened to the hair in his heart: Where do you know how you can see that I am talented and young and promising? I haven't done anything big so far, have I? If you count these things as Hideji and Ieyasu, I really have nothing to say. Although he was a little dissatisfied in his heart, he still had to pretend to be face-saving, after all, this Yodohime has never had any political acumen, and what he said just now must have been said to bring him closer, so there should be no malice.

Xiubao respectfully said: "Thank you Madame for your love, I really don't dare to be here, Madame can attend today's tea party, which really makes Zaixia excited." Seeing that Xiubao understood etiquette so well, Yodohime liked him even more in her heart, her cheeks were slightly red like a little girl, one hand was in front of her mouth, and the other hand was slightly swinging, and she said shyly: "Your Highness is polite, it is a blessing to your Highness to be able to participate in this grand event, and the concubine should thank Your Highness." ”

Yodohime's performance was nothing unusual in the eyes of others, but she couldn't hide it from the same woman, she saw that Yodohime was a little "excited", and immediately diverted the topic and asked Hideho: "I heard that not long ago, you just took Princess Komahime of the Mogami family as a side room, why didn't you bring the two ladies together at this tea party, so that Taige and the concubine could meet?" ”

Xiubao looked at the North Administration with "gratitude" eyes and replied: "Qi Qi North Administration, Ah Ju is now three months pregnant, and Zhiyun Yuan didn't want her to move around, so she stayed at home and didn't come; As for Kohime, she said that she wanted to stay at home to take care of Ah Ju, and she refused to go with me, so she had no choice but to attend the meeting alone. ”

Hearing that Ju Ji was pregnant, the North Politics Institute was very happy: "Ju Ji has been naughty since she was a child, I didn't expect it to be so soon... Haha, don't mention it, it's just that you go back and tell Zhiyun Academy, it's only been three months now, there's no need to be so careful, you still have to let her play when it's time to play, so as not to suffocate your body. ”

Hideyoshi saw that Hokumasa had finished speaking, and he also took the opportunity to interject a few words: "Our Toyotomi family has always been sparsely populated, and Koichiro is just a son like you, you should also work hard." If you really can't do it, you can take more wives and learn from His Royal Highness the Tokugawa Inner Palace. With that, Hideyoshi glanced at Tokugawa Ieyasu.

Tokugawa Ieyasu has married two main rooms in his life, fifteen side rooms, fourteen sons and five daughters, and many adopted sons and daughters, such a strong "ability" is no wonder that Hideyoshi will use it to ridicule, in fact, not only ridicule, Hideyoshi is also very jealous, his wife is not less than him, but now there is only the only seedling of Shimaru, if Hidebo doesn't work harder, maybe the Toyotomi family will be broken in the future.

Hearing that she was going to give Hideho a concubine, the Hokusho thought of something, she pulled Hideyoshi's arm and reminded: "Your Highness, do you remember my brother's youngest daughter Ah Ying, the concubine thinks that he and Tatsuchiyo should be a good match." ”

Hideyoshi thought back for a moment and nodded: "Yes, Sakurahime of the Asano family is the same age as Tatsuchiyo and versatile, so it's really good to marry this kid." It's just that I don't know if His Royal Highness Changzheng will mind if she is used as a side room? ”

Asano Nagamasa has just established trust with Hideho, and now he can marry him again, it's too late to be happy, how can he mind, besides, through such a family affair, it will definitely increase Hideyoshi's good opinion of himself, and in that case, Kocho's return to Beijing will be just around the corner.

Thinking of this, Changzheng hurriedly walked out of the crowd and said respectfully: "It is her blessing that the little girl can marry His Royal Highness, and as for the title, she has nothing to ask for, and His Royal Highness Xie Taige will give her a marriage." ”

Hideyoshi nodded with satisfaction when he heard this, and motioned for Hideho and Nagamasa to return to the banquet, and then chatted happily with the dialect used by Hokumasa.

Yodohime was most disgusted by Hideyoshi's use of dialects to chat, and although she was raised by Hideyoshi since she was a child, she was Omi after all, so it was more appropriate to speak the Kyoto dialect. Now that the limelight has been stolen by the Beizheng Institute again, she is even more angry, sitting in her seat and drinking tea depressedly.

Ishida Sancheng saw that Hideho was being co-opted by the Owari faction like this, and he also felt a little bad, although he knew that Hideho was a threat to Shimaru, but judging from the current situation, Hideho was still loyal to Hideyoshi, coupled with his unique role in the regime, Ishida didn't want him to completely fall to the Owari faction, so he thought of a good idea.

Ishida passed a note to Yodohime through the waiter, Yodohime opened it, nodded thoughtfully, and after hiding the note, he said to Hideyoshi: "Your Highness, when it comes to taking a concubine for His Highness in the waiter, there is also a candidate for the concubine." "Oh? Cha Cha also cares so much? Hideyoshi didn't expect that his Lady Saimaru would be willing to meddle in this matter.

Yodohime deliberately glanced at the North Politics Office and said, "I wonder what His Highness thinks of Ajiang?" "Ajiang?! Chacha, you're kidding, she's Tatsuchiyo's sister-in-law! Hideyoshi said in surprise. That's right, this Ajiang is Chacha's younger sister, and it is also the main room of Tokugawa Hidetada's Chongyuan Temple in history.

Initially, through Hideyoshi's arrangement, Ajiang married her cousin Sajiichi, who was only eleven years old at the time. George Kazunari's mother A dog is the younger sister of Ajiang's mother Aichi, so the two can be described as close to each other. But later, during the battle of Komaki Nagakute, George Kazunari actually supported the side of Oda Nobuo and Tokugawa Ieyasu, which angered Hideyoshi, and Hideyoshi forcibly ordered the two to divorce.

Later, Hideyoshi once again made the decision to marry Ajiang to his adopted son Toyotomi Hidekatsu (Toyotomi Hideyoshi's third adopted son, that is, Hideho's elder brother), and soon after, Hidekatsu died of illness overseas during the Battle of Bunroku, and he and Ajiang had a daughter, Toyotomi Wanko.

Becoming a widow, Ajiang had to return to Hideyoshi again. At this time, her sister Yodohime had already given birth to Shimaru, and she lived a life of being a favorite concubine of the world in Yodoshi, and the second sister A Chu also married into the Kyogoku family.

Historically, because Toyotomi Hideyoshi has stepped into the old realm, he thought that Tokugawa Ieyasu would become Hideyoshi's biggest enemy after his death, so he accepted Ie as his adopted daughter, and in this year, Hideyoshi and Ieyasu became close to each other, and remarried Ie who was twenty-three years old and had many marriage experiences to only seventeen-year-old Tokugawa Hidetada as the main room.

After Xiuzhong married her, he was even afraid of his wife's arrogance and did not dare to take concubines publicly, but he cheated twice. The two had two sons and five daughters, the most famous being the eldest daughter Chihime married Toyotomi Hideyori, the fifth daughter Kazuko married Emperor Gomizuo, and the eldest son Tokugawa Iemitsu was the third generation of shoguns.

To combine with such a woman with rich "life experience", not to mention Hidebo, even Hideyoshi finds it incredible, what he mainly cares about is that Ajiang is Hideho's sister-in-law after all, and it is against the law of etiquette to do so.

Yodohime disagreed, and argued with Hideyoshi: "Your Highness, it is normal for people to have a brother and a brother, and besides, His Highness is gentle and easy-going, if Ajiang is handed over to him, it can also make His Highness feel at ease." Seeing that Yodohime was so stubborn, Hideyoshi really didn't want to refute her face, and what she said made some sense, so he reluctantly agreed.

After saying that, Yodohime looked at Hideho with affection, and thought: What I can't get, even if it's for my sister, I can't let those hillbillies from Owari get it. Although it was a smile on his face, he still couldn't hide the loss in his heart, and Yodohime said to Hideho with a somewhat reluctant tone: "Ajiang will be handed over to His Highness to take care of, and in the future, I will be close to each other, and I ask Your Highness to take Ajiang to Osaka often for a 'walk'." ”

Xiubao bowed down and replied, "That's natural, I will definitely take care of Mrs. Ajiang and live up to your love." Xiubao returned to his place and sat down with a smile on his face, but he was extremely annoyed in his heart: I thought that I could get closer to the Owari faction through this tea party, but who knew that this Yodohime would be able to do such a thing, not to mention controlling the overall situation, I am afraid that I will become a victim of the struggle between the two factions.
