Xiubao smiled, turned around and walked to Sancheng, helped him up with Xiuyuan, wiped the blood stains from the corners of his mouth for him, and comforted him carefully: "His Royal Highness Qingzheng is this temper, and he also hopes that the young assistant Haihan of the Ministry of Governance, Xiubao is indeed wrong to return to China without approval this time, and he is willing to be punished, and I must not hurt the harmony of all the adults because of me." ”

"Your Highness Youfu, don't say it," Sancheng stretched out his hand to block Hideho's handkerchief, wiped the blood with his bare hands, looked at Kato Kiyomasa diagonally opposite, and said: "This is a personal grudge between me and Kato (Qingzheng's official position 'Comptroller'), sooner or later it will be settled, and it has nothing to do with you, Your Highness." ”

"That's right," Kato Kiyomasa replied angrily, "I have long wanted to ask him for an explanation, but I just took this opportunity to take revenge in advance." ”

Xiubao shook his head helplessly, and looked at Sancheng with a lost expression: "If it weren't for the reckless behavior in the lower part this time, the management department would not be injured, and the mastermind would not hurt people. ”

There is Xiubao admitting his mistake to himself, Sancheng can be regarded as saving some face, thinking of Hideyoshi's teachings to him before leaving, Sancheng finally handed out an olive branch: "His Royal Highness Kato, Sancheng has been offended many times before, and he still hopes for Haihan, this beating should be regarded as compensation for you." ”

"This..."Seeing that Sancheng took the initiative to admit his mistake, Qingzheng couldn't say anything, so as not to cause trouble for Xiubao, so he had to grit his teeth and say fiercely: "I'm a rough person, this time I'm a little reckless, please don't take it to heart." ”

"Isn't this very good," Xiubao picked up the flask and poured the wine for the two of them, and said with a smile: "Everyone is Taige's henchmen, what can't be solved in words, after drinking this glass of wine, we will not blame the past hatred, from today on, serve Taige Chile well, wouldn't it be happy?" ”

Hearing Xiubao say this, the two had to force a smile, took the wine cup and drank it all, and then pretended to say a few words of greeting, and the matter was finally fooled.

After the wine and food were full, the two sides went back to rest, only Sancheng and Changsheng quietly came to the back garden, sat in the gazebo and whispered.

"My lord, you shouldn't just let that old thing go of Kato, right?" Changsheng grinned while covering his head.

"I'm afraid in the future it's not that I can't let him go, but that he can't let me go." Looking at the bright moonlight, Sancheng was worried: "Seeing Youfu this time, I feel that he has matured a lot, and there are a lot more capable people around him." ”

"Actually, there aren't a few, but they're just some goods that other big names don't want." Nagamori said with relief: "Komiyayama Harukatsu of the Tokugawa family, Ogasawara Takashi of the Kobayakawa family, and Goto Kiji of the Kuroda family, except for the "Kuroda Shuangbi", the remaining two are all little-known goods, and adults not only don't need to worry, but should be happy." ”

"Happy? What do you mean by that? Sancheng asked.

Changsheng analyzed: "First of all, just imagine, if the Right Mansion accepts these people, how will their original master family feel?" Even if we don't say it, we are very unhappy in our hearts, which just gives us the opportunity to win them over;

Secondly, if there is no capable person to help him, how can the Right Mansion compete with the Tokugawa Inner Palace, so we should not worry about this matter, but should be happy that he is full-fledged. ”

"The first one is reasonable, but the second one... You taught me how to be happy. Sancheng said pessimistically: "Now that we are in trouble with those martial artists, and now that Youfu has been appointed as the queen, I am afraid that the future will not be easy." ”

"I feel that Youfu is not in league with Qingzheng them," Changsheng reminded, "Judging from his performance today, he is more like a mediator like his father Yamato and Nayan, rather than the leader of a certain faction." ”

"I hope so, Taige's life will not be long, and the power of the world will fall into the hands of this young man who has just turned twenty years old, and it would be best if he could be as upright and impartial as his father; If we favor the arbitrary faction, although we Wenchen will suffer, the world is still Toyotomi's family; I'm most worried about His Royal Highness the Uchifu, if he and the Right Mansion reach some kind of tacit understanding, then the foundation of the Toyotomi family will be in danger. ”

"This shouldn't be possible, after all, there are five old constraints, if Ieyasu plays any tricks, the other elders won't ignore it."

"Hmph, it's said that it is the five elders, who can really compete with Ieyasu in terms of strength? Kaga Da Nayan has more prestige than courage, and it is difficult for him to come out; It's not that you don't know what the Maori family is, since the Yuan became a prince, there has been no admirable character, and the reason why we are close to the Maori family is just to take a fancy to his fish-like character;

Let's talk about Ukita and Uesugi, these two families are more than loyal, and their abilities are insufficient, His Royal Highness the Xiu family is the adopted son of Taiko, and his loyalty to his family is undoubted, but his ability, I won't say more; The Uesugi family is no longer the dragon of Echigo, and now that it has been transferred to Aizu, even if you have the intention to kill the enemy, it is difficult to play a decisive role.

Therefore, I think that even if the other four elders are combined, they are not necessarily the opponents of the Tokugawa family, and if Hideho is added, alas, the Toyotomi family is in danger. ”

Seeing that Sancheng was so pessimistic about the future, Changsheng was helpless, so he had to reluctantly persuade a few words: "There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge." Everything is empty talk now, everything will not be known until then, and the only thing we can do now is to take one step at a time. ”

"That's all it can be." Sancheng sighed and looked up at the bright moon, only to find a meteor passing in front of him, and suddenly a wave of ominousness hit his heart...

Early the next morning, Hideho and Mitsunari set off for their homecoming, and when they heard that Hideho had returned to Japan, all the daimyo along the way came to Sakai Port in advance, hoping to catch a glimpse of the young man who was about to become Hideyori's successor.

The fleet arrived at Sakai Port on the 9th, but did not arrive in Fushimi until the 12th, and the people were full of flowers along the way, and the people feasted on pot pulp, and greeted the group of heroes who had triumphed from Korea with the greatest enthusiasm. As Hideyoshi's envoys, Mitsunari and Asano Nagamasa are also riding tall horses to guard Hideho, seeing that Hideho is so loved, Sancheng and Nagamasa's mood can be described as a heaven and an underground, three achievements needless to say, let's talk about Nagamasa, as Sakurahime's father, he never thought that Hidebo, who was regarded as a gentleman by himself, has such an achievement now, I'm afraid this is lower than the probability of winning the lottery.

"Father-in-law, Sakurahime's letter said that you let Ah Zhe (Yukinaga's main room) be Katsuchiyo's nurse, and my son-in-law is very grateful." Hideho waved his hand to greet the people on the side of the road, and said to Nagamasa with a slight turnaround.

"Where is it," Chang Zhengtou smiled, but said in frustration: "Ah Zhe had a difficult birth, the child was not saved, and it just so happened that Sakurahime had little milk, so it was also appropriate to let her help." ”

"Kocho already has a daughter, right?" Hideho asked.

"Yes, but you have to have a boy to inherit the family business." Changzheng replied: "It's really not possible, so you can only hope for Changsheng (Changzheng's second son)." ”

"This matter is in a hurry, fortunately Chang is still young, and there will always be a chance." Xiubao said with a smile.

"I hope so, thanks to you." Changzheng said on his lips, but he didn't think so in his heart, Xiubao had three sons in a blink of an eye, and Xingchang really had to work harder.

When the team arrived in Fushimi, it was late in the evening, and although Hideyoshi was too ill to attend, he had already ordered a banquet to be prepared for Hideho and the others, and only after he had eaten enough did he invite Hideho to the inner room of Honmaru.

Hideho was led by Mitsunari to the familiar and unfamiliar inner room, under the dim light, Hideyoshi was lying on the bed panting hard, and when he learned that Hideho had entered the door, he struggled to stand up, leaned on the edge of the bed and smiled at Hideho: "Is it His Royal Highness Youfu, come, come in, come in and let me take a good look." ”

"His Royal Highness." Looking at the withered and skinny old man in front of him, Xiubao's tears couldn't stop flowing, this is not family affection, but a kind of regret for the twilight of the hero.

"What are you crying about a dignified man, you are the one who wants to take care of Xiu Lai instead of me, if even you are so embarrassed, what should Xiu Lai do in the future?" Hideyoshi looked at Hideho in front of him with pity and sighed, "The foundation of the Toyotomi family will depend on you to maintain it in the future." ”
