Osaka Honmaru, Goten, side hall.

More than 20 people, including Ishida Mitsunari, Maeda Genyi, Nagazuki Masaka, Masuda Nagamori, Ishida Mitsunari's brother and two nephews, and Majima Mitsuyoshi, one of the leaders of the Seven Hands Group promoted by Mitsunari, were all locked up in this not spacious room.

A few saury, a few rice, and a bucket of miso soup, these are the things that Hideho prepared for them in front of everyone in the hall.

Unexpectedly, except for the tea in the teapot, the food on the table was untouched, and even the dishes and chopsticks were placed in place, and everyone didn't even look at it.

"My lord, you can also drink some tea." With that, Mitsuyoshi Majima stood up and respectfully came to Ishida Mitsunari with a teapot, ready to fill his cup with some hot tea.

"No need," Ishida Mitsunari quickly put his hand on the teacup and said without raising his head, "You better drink it yourself." ”

"My lord......" Seeing this, Mitsuyoshi Majima immediately put down the teapot in his hand, solemnly knelt down in front of Ishida Mitsunari, and said earnestly: "The humble duty bears the great trust of the adult, and I ask the adult to punish the crime!" ”

"Punishment?" Ishida Mitsunari sighed softly, "You and I are now prisoners of the ranks, how can I be qualified to punish your crimes?" Get up, blame me and blame myself, why did I promote you unqualified guys in the first place? It's just a matter of being called cronyism by others, and in the end, none of the tasks assigned to you have been completed...... Speaking of which, you're pretty good, but the two guys Ohtani and Heron Island are even more hateful. ”

Hearing this, Masuda Nagamori, who was sitting next to Ishida Mitsunari, took the initiative to admit his mistake to him: "Maemon (Majima Mitsuyoshi) just fell for Mano Toyogo's tricks, and he didn't betray him, and I ask my lord to forgive him." If there is a mistake, then the mistake is that he did not protect this pill with the Ryōbei and gave the thieves an opportunity to take advantage of it, which is a big mistake. ”

Hearing Masuda Nagamori mention himself, Nagashu Masake, who had been silent for a long time, could not continue to remain silent, his face was ugly, his expression was depressed, and his words revealed loss and despair: "Yes, the fault is ours...... However, what's the point of saying these now, both horizontal and vertical are going to meet in the six rivers, and there is really no need to waste time trying to earn a right or wrong. ”

"Sharp Guard, shut your foul mouth!" Maeda Xuan looked at the Changshu family with a pale face, and glared angrily: "How can the poor monk be like you, as long as the Gaotai Courtyard is here, the poor monk will never be fine!" ”

"Gaotaiyuan?" Ishida Mitsunari's brother Ishida Masasumi snorted coldly, and said sarcastically: "Now, Youfu is still afraid that the Gaotai Courtyard will not succeed? Not to mention Gaotai Courtyard, without us and the restraints of other elders, I'm afraid that the young master and Mrs. Dian will not be taken seriously. ”

"It's just that I underestimated Youfu and looked up at the guys in Rushui, I should have understood that they had not been with us all the way from beginning to end." Ishida Mitsunari couldn't help but feel a little sour at the thought of losing the entire Osaka Castle without using a single knife or shot.

"Yes, they acted with us, but now we are the only ones who are locked up here, I really don't know what they thought of to escape." Masuda Nagamori was also puzzled.

Although Ishida Mitsunari said that he was extremely disappointed in the failure of the uprising, he saw the Seven Hands Group more thoroughly: "This time, Osaka was taken down by the Right House without using a knife or a shot, isn't it all the credit of Hayami?" Moreover, many of the Seven Hands Group are old ministers who have followed Taige for many years, and forgiving them can win the hearts of the people of the Right Mansion.

Of course, the most important point is that compared to those of us, the Seven Hands Group are a group of martial artists, and they will not participate in the decision-making of the center in any way in the future, so there will be no threat to the future government of the Right Prefecture. On the contrary, we, the three elders, as well as the Tokugawa, Mori, and Uesugi elders, have a strong influence, so the right house must be done quickly, so as not to have too many dreams at night and extraneous branches. ”

"So, we're going to die?" Although Maeda didn't want to believe it, he couldn't help but want to hear Ishida Mitsunari's judgment.

However, Ishida Mitsunari did not answer him directly, but said silently: "It depends on the young master and his wife, at this moment, our lives are no longer in our own hands." ”

With the exception of Ukita Hideya and Maeda Toshimasa, the other daimyo stationed outside Osaka Castle did not know what had happened in Osaka last night until noon on May 22. All the daimyo expressed their admiration for Hideho's calmness and unusual control, but when they thought that the elder and the executive had all been surrendered, and the central power had been held by Hideho, everyone couldn't help but feel a rattle in their hearts, and they were worried that they would accidentally anger Hideho in the future and end up with the same fate as Tokugawa and Ishida, and they were glad that they didn't fight Hideho to the end.

Considering that Osaka Castle still needs to be cleaned up, and everyone needs to rest after a long time, Hideho suggests to Yodohime that the time to summon the various daimyos is postponed. Yodohime agrees with this, and wants to carefully discuss with Hidebo the disposition of the daimyo after the war.

Yodohime offered to discuss the post-war disposition, which made Hideho feel a little surprised and worried: "It seems that Katagiri's idea is again." ”

That night, Hidebo had a long conversation with his retainers all night and quickly drew up a detailed list of the daimyo's disposition. But with the detailed list in his hand, Hideho hesitated a little: "Will Prime Minister Bizen and Noto Shou agree?" ”

"They can only agree." Fujido Takatora and Goto Kiji said in unison.

"After all, the two of them are still elders, is it too overbearing for me to find them with the drawn up list and let them directly approve my decision?" Hideho still showed a hint of hesitation.

"Does the lord want to take a blank piece of paper and discuss with the two elders one by one, bargaining one by one? This is not overbearing, but the prestige of this family is greatly reduced. With all due respect, what the lord lacks most now is domineering, please understand, if you are not domineering at this time, how can you achieve the arbitrariness you want in the future? Goto Kiji's words really made Hideho's heart a little more confident.

Seeing this, Fujido Takatora also took the opportunity to persuade him: "Not only that, but Maeda and Ukita have both received the grace of the lord, and both of them are also people who know how to repay their kindness, so they will never question the proposal of the family. Even if Prime Minister Bizen cares about the young master and the clan family, the proposal we have drawn up does not show an obvious infringement on the power of the clan family, which meets his bottom line, and there should not be too much of a problem. ”

"I hope, but even if the two elders have no objections, how can I speak in front of Hideyori and Mrs. Yodo? She consulted with me, and I handed him the list I had drawn up? I can't imagine what the look on her face will look like. Xiubao subconsciously clenched the list in his hand.

At this time, Yixin Chongchuan also joined the ranks of persuasion: "Forgive the ministers for taking the liberty, only by taking this step can the family have a smooth road in the future." If you hesitate at this time, you will fail to live up to your previous efforts, and it will put your family in a more dangerous situation. Lord, it's time. ”

"Since you're all so insistent, then what else do I have to hesitate about." Hideho took a deep breath and ordered Aoki Hisaku, "Inform the two elders, Ukita and Maeda, that I have something important to ask them to come here to discuss." ”
