Hideho knew that in history, the Zhiyuki after Gamo Hideyuki changed the title of Utsunomiya consisted of two parts, one part was the old collar of Omi Hino, 20,000 stones, which remained unchanged; There is also a part of the 120,000 stone of Utsunomiya. Although the Utsunomiya family has not yet changed, it is reluctantly acceptable to replace it with 110,000 stone from Koyama and Mibu, but if such severe sanctions are really adopted, Gamo Hideyuki will definitely throw himself into Ieyasu's arms without any scruples, just like in history, which Hidebo must stop. Therefore, after a long night of talks with Gao Hu and Qingxing, Xiubao finally formulated a relatively satisfactory disposal plan......

When Hideho arrived at Aizu-Wakamatsu Castle, it was February 7, and the thirteen-year-old Gamo Hideyuki finally ushered in the moment to decide the fate of the Gamo family.

As the original old Gamo clan was forced to retire, Su Lao was temporarily served by Seki Shengxin, who was originally a wealthy family in Northern Ise, and later served as the captain of the horseback riding team of the Gamo clan, and was deeply appreciated by the clan.

Of course, all this still depends on Hidebo's attitude, but the Gamo family has no contact with Hideho, so how can he think about it for the Gamo family? Thinking of this, Guan Shengxin shook his head helplessly.

Although they knew the purpose of Hideho's visit, out of respect for the Taiko envoys, the Gamo family carefully prepared a grand welcome banquet, which was quite a bit of a "Last Supper".

At the dinner, although Seki Shengxin tried his best to create a cheerful and pleasant atmosphere, the Gamo retainers, who knew that they were about to be punished, could not cooperate, and they almost all looked at Hideho with a frustrated and even pleading expression, hoping that there would be a slight turnaround.

Of course, Hideho understood their thoughts, and the fact that the good welcome banquet was so heavy did make him feel pity. Xiubao put down his wine glass and said to Gamo Hideyuki, who was sitting next to him: "Thank you for the hospitality of His Royal Highness, seeing that you are also absent-minded and unintentionally swallowed, then it will be straight to the point." ”

Although Gamo Hideyuki was only thirteen years old, he knew that this matter was related to the survival of the family, so he did not dare to slack off, and replied respectfully and even humbly: "Everything is entrusted to Your Highness." ”

Xiubao motioned for Gao Hu to hand over the pre-written disposal plan, checked it slightly, and then handed it back to Gao Hu to read out in public. Gao Hu cleared his throat, straightened his body and read out loudly: "Since the date of his succession, the gamut attendant Hideyuki has been ineffective in controlling his ministers, and his management has been poor so that his retainers have quarrels, and the swords and soldiers are facing each other, the people are full of grievances, and the discipline is corrupted, and he is entrusted by the Taiko, and I am guilty of resigning from the crime, and confiscating the 920,000 stone of the Kambu clan, the Aizu place, and the five counties of Karida, Nobuo, Ida, Tamura, and Ada, and giving 112,000 stone to Shimono Koyama and Mibu, and 20,000 stone to the original Omi Hino to be retained, and the above. ”

"110,000 stones?!" Guan Shengxin's second son, Yi Zheng, couldn't help shouting, he bypassed Xiuxing, who had not yet eased his mind, and crawled in front of Xiubao and begged: "Is there something wrong with His Highness Shizhong, how can he only keep 110,000 Zhixing, please consider it carefully, don't misinterpret the original intention of Taige!" ”

"Bastard, His Royal Highness is the Huizu accountability envoy ordered by the Taige, how can he be so rude and not give me a retreat!" Guan Shengxin stepped forward, raised his foot and kicked Yizheng aside.

He motioned for everyone to be quiet, and said to Xiubao with resentment: "Please forgive your Highness for being presumptuous, but this punishment is really too severe, the mistakes made by my Kamo family are just retainers fighting for power, at most they are just swords and soldiers, but they don't really make a big move, besides, my lord is young, so he can't take care of these, this is all my sins as courtiers, and it has nothing to do with the lord, I implore Your Highness to tell the truth to Ming Taige, and be sure to return the innocence of my lord." ”

Xiubao looked at Sheng Xin helplessly: "An Yunshou thinks that Taige really doesn't know the truth?" I am also acting under orders, and I really can't do anything. ”

At this moment, a middle-aged woman dressed in a silk dress and a nun walked into the lobby accompanied by a concubine.

"His Royal Highness has done his best, so don't force each other hard." The woman commanded the retainers present, in a gentle but unquestionable determination.

"You must be Lady Fuyuhime, right?" Hideho stood up and bowed to the woman. The woman folded her hands and replied, "Amitabha, there is no winter Ji in the world, and the poor Nifa has a wonderful heart. ”

Although he is nearly forty years old and is accompanied by the ancient Buddha of the green lantern all day long, the beautiful face of this wonderful temple is still not inferior to that of young girls, no wonder it is said that the Oda family is rich in beautiful women, which can be seen from the body of this Nobunaga's fifth daughter.

Xiubao found out that he was rude and bowed and said: "Xiubao asked the master for forgiving me for a moment of slip of the tongue, as the master saw, although he was held accountable, but the above punishments were all in the intention of the Taige, and there was really nothing he could do, if there was any offense, please forgive me." ”

Miaoshin Yuan came to Xiuxing and sat down, and while comforting him lovingly, he said to Xiubao: "If you say that you can't do anything, I'm afraid Your Highness won't dare to do anything, right?" "What do you mean by that?" Xiubao was puzzled.

Myoshinin smiled and said, "The poor nun knows that His Royal Highness is merciful, but for the sake of the Gamo family's family business, please give me advice. ”

"Now that you've spoken, it's inconvenient to keep it down, yes, there is a way to keep the Gamo family's position in Aizu right now." Xiubao said helplessly.

As soon as they heard that there was a way to keep the family business, the retainers, who had been lifeless just now, suddenly rejuvenated, and everyone talked happily, completely ignoring Hideho's sad face. Guan Shengxin saw Xiubao's thoughts, and asked with concern: "Dare to ask Your Highness, what is the way to save the family from fire and water?" ”

"Taige wants to ask you for someone." Hideho said avoiding Sheng Xin's eyes.

"Alone?" Sheng Xin asked.

"Exactly, as long as there is one person, Taige can give the Pu Sheng family 920,000 stones." Xiubao lowered his head.

"Who is it? Whether it is a traitor who is a great rebel or a wealthy family with a different heart, as long as this person is in Aizu, we will do our best to find him and hand him over to Taiko. Sheng Xin swore and promised.

"An Yun Shou is too worried, this person is not a heinous person, but..."

"It's the person who thinks about it in the Taige Dynasty, Your Highness?" Miao Xinyuan closed his eyes tightly and asked lightly. Xiubao nodded with difficulty and whispered, "Exactly. ”

"The one who thinks about it for a long time... Could it be that Taige values the princess of which family? Sheng Xin asked, puzzled.

At this time, Hideho's face almost touched the table, which showed his shame. Seeing that Hideho didn't answer for a long time, Miaoshin finally opened his eyes and said the answer in Hideho's heart: "What Lord An Yunshou said is right, Taiko has fallen in love with the princess of the Oda family. ”

When Guan Shengxin heard this, his face suddenly changed greatly, and he bowed down at the foot of Miaoxin Courtyard with a painful face, crying: "Shengxin knows that he is incompetent and cannot keep the foundation of the ancestor father, but as long as there are ministers, even if he fights for his life, he must protect the safety of his wife and the young master." ”

As soon as Sheng Xin finished speaking, all the retainers in the room also bowed down and said, "The ministers are willing to defend the lady and the young master with death." ”

Gamo Xiuxing was in a fog when he heard it, but after being nodded by Sheng Xin, he finally understood, and immediately threw himself into Miaoxinyuan's arms and sobbed: "100,000 is 100,000, as long as the mother stays with the child, even if it is 10,000 Shi Xiuxing." ”

Myoshinin kindly stroked Xiuyuki's head, and tears finally flowed down her cheeks. As Nobunaga's daughter, she was destined to be a victim of politics from the moment she was born, and her current situation must have been predicted.

Miaoxinin wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said with a smile: "Tsuru Chiyo is a love of coquettishness, let His Highness and the adults see each other, the poor nun is willing to follow His Highness back to meet Taiko, Tsuru Chiyo will entrust to Lord An Yun Shou in the future." After saying that, Myoshinin bowed his head to Shengxin, and Shengxin returned the salute with tears in his eyes, and vowed to do his best to protect the Gamo family in the future.

Xiubao couldn't see a woman crying the most, and his heart softened, so he told his thoughts to Myoshinin: "Does the master really think that as long as he meets Taiko, he can save the Gamo family?" ”

"What do you mean by that?" Myoshinin asked with some surprise.

Xiubao sighed and said his opinion: "Taige is indeed true to think about you, but please forgive me for taking the liberty of it, even so, he will never give up nearly a million stone land because of a woman, so even if you compromise, he will find other excuses to reduce the knowledge and deeds of His Royal Highness." ”

Xiuxing listened, raised his head and asked Xiubao: "My father made great contributions to the Toyotomi family's expedition to the east and west, why is Taige so ruthless and makes such a rabbit and a dog cooking?" ”

Hideho replied: "Your Highness, don't say that, Taiko is beyond reproach for doing this, Aizu is a strategic location, there is Date in the northeast, Tokugawa in the southeast, Mogami in the northwest, and Uesugi in the southwest. But now that the clan has passed away, and the young lord is young, it is impossible to play the restraining role of Aizu anymore, which is the real reason why Taige moved to seal the Kamo family. ”

Miaoshinin felt a lot more relaxed when he heard this, and continued to ask, "According to your meaning, even if I go to Fushimi, it won't help?" ”

Xiubao nodded: "That's right, Taige's mind has been decided, and the transfer of the seal is a foregone conclusion, so why bother in vain." However, if you and your highness are willing to believe in you, Hideho will do his best to secure as many fiefs as possible for the Gamo family. ”

When everyone listened to Hideho's words, they immediately felt incredible, as Hideyoshi's nephew, how could the Aizu accountability envoy this time tell Hideyoshi's original intentions and plates, and how could he be willing to help him fight for a fief?
