Mitsunari thought so in his heart, and in fact did so, he put aside the appeal of the envoys of the three families of Shimono, and concentrated on carrying out the strategy of the Uki family, which greatly disappointed Tokugawa Ieyasu, he couldn't bear the request of the envoys, and personally visited the office, but no matter what he said, Sancheng was determined to eat the scales, thinking that this matter was a conflict between the daimyos, and that there should be a disposal plan after the five elders discussed, and then he could handle it

"This riot is very wide-ranging, and Sansei feels that it should be decided by the five elders, and if there is any result, then inform the lowly to deal with it, which is appropriate," Mitsunari said to Tokugawa Ieyasu in a serious manner

Although Ieyasu didn't understand why Sancheng would refuse such a rare opportunity to bring down Hideho, he knew that if this matter was discussed by the five elders, the final result might be that the three would be reprimanded, and Hideyasu would be uneasy - after all, among the five elders, the Maeda Toshiya family had already fallen to Hideho, and the Ukita Hidekatsu family did not dare to object because of Maeda's face, and Uesugi Keikatsu was in Aizu, and it was impossible for him to come to Osaka for a few small daimyos, as for Mori Terumoto, with his submissive character, he didn't dare to come out at all. Then in the end, it will become a situation where the Tokugawa family will fight the other four, if this is the case, how can there be a chance of winning?

Thinking of this, Tokugawa Ieyasu had no choice but to leave the office and go to Nishinomaru to meet Hideho instead

For Tokugawa Ieyasu's visit, Hidebo had already anticipated it, but at this time his mentality was different from the beginning At first, Hidebo felt that Ieyasu would definitely unite with Ishida Mitsunari Xingshi to ask for the guilt, but he didn't want to receive a report from Sato, saying that Mitsunari didn't plan to go into this mess at all, so Ieyasu was the only one who was in trouble; Hidebo's Ieyasu would bring this matter to the five elders, but when he thought of the conflict between Ieyasu and Maeda Toshiya some time ago, he didn't have any worries: "Ieyasu is cautious and generally wouldn't be a bird, but now that he can come in person, it means that there is no other way."

Fujido Takatora happened to report to Hideho at Nishinomaru at this time about the excavation of Manseki Seto and the construction of the water villages on both sides, and he was quite surprised to hear that Tokugawa Ieyasu came in person: "The minister thinks that this is not a big deal, if he can't find a bird, the inner government can leave it alone, there is really no need to come to Nishinomaru."

"Do you think he wants to come to the inner house?" Xiubao smiled and replied: "He had to come, you think about these three daimyo and he has been friendly for a long time, if the inner government does not take a stand and fight for some benefits for them, wouldn't it be chilling?" How to say it, I don't know if the inner government is prepared, but as long as he comes, he will be able to stabilize his position in the hearts of those small daimyo in the Kanto, and as for what the requirements are, the initiative is in the hands of my family."

Fujido Takatora nodded and said with relief: "I didn't expect Ishida Jibu to not interfere this time, could it be that his impression of the family has also changed?" ”

"What's the matter," Xiu Bao snorted coldly, "Now that all the families of Taige Funeral Heaven are actively making profits, and the Ministry of Governance is no exception, but what he is seeking is not self-interest, but to establish a solid foundation for the young master's future pro-government - although it seems very unrealistic, do you think it is beneficial for him to meddle in this matter?" Even if the family no longer cares about it, at most, the prescription brothers can't hurt the fur of the family, and the three families, at most, are compensated for a few thousand stone territory, but they add up to only 40,000 Zhixing, and they are in the Kanto, the combat effectiveness, after this incident, everyone is also clear, the five scum of the war, such a group of miscellaneous pieces, can also be used in the inner government of the Kanto, and it is of no use at all to the Ishida Zhibu who focuses on Kinki and the western country, and he must have thought of this, so he did not want to meddle in this matter My impression has changed? I'm afraid you're thinking too much about this."

"Battle scum?" For this extremely modern vocabulary, although Fujido Takatora can't understand it deeply, he also understands it, "What is the lord going to do, after all, it is the Tokugawa Inner Mansion who came in person, do you want to give him some face?" ”

"That's natural, the family's policy is to win over the inner house, and in this matter, just sell him a face" Hidebashi said, and Tokugawa Ieyasu walked into the Ohiroma accompanied by the small surname

After a period of greetings, Tokugawa Ieyasu made his intentions clear: "The old man came to visit at the request of the three families of Sano, Narita and Seki, I wonder if the matter of Shimono has been heard of by the right house?" ”

"I was trying to go to the inner house to discuss, and I heard that the envoys of the three families were escorted by Edo Nayan?" Hideho asked respectfully

"Exactly, because Shimono is relatively close to Edo, so the envoys went to see the dog first, and the dog felt that the matter was very important, so he personally escorted the three adults to Osaka, therefore, the old man knew about this earlier, and he couldn't bear the request of the three families, so he had to be cheeky to discuss with the right house" Tokugawa Ieyasu tried his best to show that he was forced to participate in it, and he did not have any intention of confronting Xiu, which surprised everyone present

Seeing that Ieyasu was so respectful, Hideho also returned the courtesy, and replied humbly: "Youfu said that you are laughing, you are the head of the five elders, this matter should have been discussed by you, and if you can come to Nishinomaru today, it is to give Hideho face, please tell me what you think, and I will do my best."

"If the right government says this, the old man will be relieved" Tokugawa Ieyasu smiled honestly: "It's not a secret, the old man came this time mainly to inform the right house of the conditions of the three envoys, and there is no selfish thought."

"Please talk about the inner house, Xiubao is willing to hear the details"

"The meaning of the three families is very clear, first, severely punish the mountain brothers who caused the accident; second, the return of the plundered finances and peasants; third, the return of the territories that were taken from them; Fourth, as the head of the house, the right house should personally go to Shimono to chant and pray for the head of the three families...... This point was added by them temporarily, because a few days ago there was news from Shimono, saying that the head of the three families also died in a military accident, out of respect, should you go there? ”

"You're right," Hideho bowed slightly, "Otawara also sent someone back to report the matter, and he has ordered the mountain brothers to return to Beijing, and as for the punishment, they have already thought about it, and asked the imperial court to deprive Yama Ichiharu of his official position, and Zhixing was reduced to 10,000 stone and 8,000 stone respectively; The second article can also be promised to them below; Article 3 also asks the Inner Government to go back and ask on my behalf, which piece of land they are talking about, if it is the inherent territory of the Otawara clan before the return of the Zhixing Dynasty, it is naturally willing to return it in the future, if it is the 3,000 stone ceded by the Otawara Kiyotai after the Zhixing is returned, I'm sorry, let them come and ask for it, I have already found out in the next, that Otawara Kiyotai is the Otawara Taiqing, not a descendant of the Otawara clan at all, how can the fief he ceded count? Fourth, both families are at fault for this matter, and Hideho doesn't know anything about the whole thing, so isn't it a bit deceitful for me to go and chant the scriptures myself? In this way, he sent the master of the Bodhi Temple to Shimono, he is the famous master of Ai in the family, the status of the family is second only to the Fujido Minbu, the master is familiar with the scriptures, the background is profound, and the three masters must go beautifully, do you think this is okay?
