Seeing that Xiubao was silent, he looked displeased with his heart: "Since His Highness is unwilling to answer, then the poor monk has nothing to say." After saying that, he stood up and prepared to leave, Xiubao gritted his teeth, his heart was crossed, he drank Chongchuan, and replied loudly: "Xiubao is willing to use Huo Guang's heart to become Cao Cao's unfinished business." ”

Hearing Xiu Bao say this, Chongchuan was interested, he sat down again, smiled and praised: "Others say that Xiu Changgong's adopted son is wooden and stubborn, and when I see it today, I feel that the rumors are not credible, His Royal Highness and Guan Bai are siblings, but in the eyes of the poor monks, both personality and behavior are very different, Guan Bai's behavior is high-profile everywhere, and his personality is flamboyant; His Royal Highness is cautious and walking on thin ice, which may be the reason why Guan Bai had to commit suicide, but you have been able to survive so far. ”

"Surviving so far?" Xiubao smiled heartily: "Master Chongchuan's words are really not ordinary mean, what you said is, if it weren't for that, I'm afraid Taige wouldn't let me go, what family, what kind of family affection, in this era is not as practical as personal interests." Chongchuan nodded slightly, and asked with a smile: "Your Highness perfunctory me with that kind of ambiguous answer, presumably he is also not at ease with Zaixia, right?" But judging from your suspicious personality, I really don't want Huo Zimeng, but like Cao Mengde. ”

Knowing that Chongchuan intended to ridicule himself, Xiubao's mood was also a little relaxed: "Huo Guang's loyalty eventually achieved the career of others, and Cao Cao's usurpation of Han and self-reliance was to lay down his own country, but now that the world of the Toyotomi family has been decided, even if I have Cao Cao's ambition, I can only serve the lord loyally with Huo Guang's heart, and I dare not have half a point of arrogance." ”

Chongchuan looked at Hideho with appreciative eyes, with such a lofty position, but without the slightest ambition, it is really rare in this Warring States, don't look at Tokugawa Ieyasu, Date Masamune and others are now respectful and flattering to Hideyoshi, but if there is really a chance, who can restrain their desire and be willing to let that four-year-old child ride on their heads? Chongchuan, who saw the current situation clearly, deliberately ordered Xiubo, so he asked: "Does Your Highness really think that the world of the Toyotomi family is stable now?" ”

Hideho was surprised and asked, "Isn't it?" Now that it has been decided today, the north and the south have surrendered, and the eight provinces of Korea have been obtained, even the Ming State has to send envoys to sue for peace, doesn't this explain the problem? ”

Chong Fax wanted to say, "You are still too young", but out of respect for Xiubao, he continued to remind: "Poor monk, may I ask Your Highness, how much Taige is currently hidden?" Without thinking, Xiubao replied, "Two million stones." Chongchuan asked again: "What about the fiefdoms of the five elders?" Hidebo replied: "Kobayakawa Takakei Fukushima 370,000 koku, Ukita Hideya Okayama 570,000 koku, Maeda Toshiie Kanazawa 830,000 koku, Mori Terumoto Hiroshima 1,210,000 koku, Tokugawa Ieyasu Edo 2 million koku......" The more he said that, the weaker Hidebo's voice became, and he obviously felt a little trembling when he said Daodaogawa Ieyasu. Chongchuan knew that he probably understood what he meant, so he added fuel and vinegar: "May I ask Your Highness again, how much manpower and material resources did the Toyotomi family spend on this expedition to Korea, and how much did the Tokugawa family give?" The Tokugawa family has many families and generations, and how many Toyotomi families are there? Since the Tokugawa family became self-reliant since the time of the Tsubakuma, and even in the face of many crises, they have been able to work together and defy strong enemies, do you think the Toyotomi family can achieve this level of unity within the Toyotomi family? ”

Listening to Chongchuan's repeated questions, Xiubao only felt cold sweat on his forehead, and as soon as he finished speaking, he sincerely bowed in front of Chongchuan, and said respectfully: "Xiubao's wisdom is really not as good as one ten-thousandth of the master, I didn't expect my Toyotomi family to face such a dangerous situation now, Xiubao is young, I can't help but get these strong ministers, and I also asked the master to go out of the mountain to give advice to Xiubao and save the world of the Toyotomi family." Chongchuan saw that Hideho invited himself out of the mountain with such a big gift, and was deeply moved, hurriedly helped Hideho, and said solemnly: "The poor monk's biological father was originally a Ashikaga retainer, so he was displaced with his father since he was a child, and tasted the pain caused by the war. The poor monk is willing to go out to His Royal Highness, not to seek glory and wealth, but to do what you say, not to war, to ensure the peace of the world. ”

Knowing that Chongchuan agreed to go out, Xiubao was so excited that he burst into tears, you must know that this is a rare talent at the end of the Warring States Period. Xiubao nodded vigorously: "Xiubao remembers the words of the master, and will definitely do his best for the common people in the world." I just don't know what to do next, is it to try to deal with Tokugawa Ieyasu? Chongchuan shook his head: "The power of the Tokugawa family is intertwined, with Your Highness, oh no, it's time to change the name of 'Lord', with the current strength of the Lord, it is still unrealistic to overthrow this big tree, please let me analyze it carefully." ”

Seeing Chongchuan purse his lips, Xiubao hurriedly picked up the teapot and poured tea for him, Chongchuan looked at Xiubao with a smile, and continued after drinking the tea: "For example, today's daimyo can be divided into three factions, one of which is the so-called Taiko faction, such as Kobayakawa, Ukita and Maeda among the five elders, these daimyo have been submissive long before Taiko dominates the world, even if it is not a genealogy, they will not betray Taiko, they are trustworthy; The second is the neutral faction, such as Shimazu, Date, Uesugi, Maori and other forces belong to this category, although they have obtained the ability to block, but in the process of Taiko's unification of the world have been more or less suppressed, it should be said that they have both respect and resentment for Taiko, it is difficult to guarantee what Taiko will do after a hundred years; The third is the Tokugawa faction, although this faction has not surfaced at present, but it is because of the Taiko law, no one will be stupid enough to form an alliance with the Tokugawa openly, even if they are willing, Tokugawa Ieyasu will not rashly accept it, at most, it is more frequent contact in secret, I believe that as soon as Taiko dies, these guys will surface. ”

"So am I going to find a way to get these people out now?" Xiubao asked, following Chongchuan's train of thought. Chongchuan still shook his head: "Moving these people now is tantamount to startling the snake, not only will it have little effect, but it will make Tokugawa Ieyasu more vigilant." I wonder if the lord has ever heard of a Chinese proverb called 'If you go outside, you must first settle inside'? That's what we're about to do now. ”

How could Xiubao not know this sentence, this is our ancestor's specialty, as for those "glorious battle examples" will not be mentioned here, Xiubao nodded from the bottom of his heart: "You are talking about the Omi faction and the Owari faction, right?" ”

Chongchuan looked at Hideho in surprise, he didn't expect him to be able to see the factions in the regime so thoroughly, and deepened his respect for Hideho: "Yes, that's exactly the case, but what Your Highness sees is only on the surface, in fact, these two factions can also be called the Lady Saimaru (Chacha) faction and the Kitamassho (Ningning) faction." Our immediate priority is to unite or suppress these two factions, and in any case to ensure unity within the regime. ”

(I couldn't go out just now, but now I make up for it, I hope my friends will collect it as soon as possible, thank you, little bear.) ）
