Chapter 388: Caught off guard
Kuroda Nagamasa sighed helplessly, glanced at Tokugawa Ieyasu, and drank the wine from his glass.
It would have been reasonable if those words just now had come from the mouth of the Toyotomi daimyo, but at this moment, it was said from the mouth of Kuroda Nagamasa, a two-headed bettor, which really made people laugh and cry. However, Fukushima Masanori was angry at the moment, and did not think carefully about the loopholes in his words, but followed Kuroda Nagamasa's train of thought and expressed the anger in his heart.
"Although this battle was won, it still caused a lot of losses to our side, and my Fukushima family alone lost more than ten retainers of more than a thousand stones, hmph, even so, the right government decided to let these guys participate in the banquet, which is really incomprehensible and annoying." Fukushima Masanori glanced at Wasuka Housekeeper and said mockingly: "It can be seen that Youfu is still too young and weak, but some people can't see the situation clearly." ”
Wasuka housekeeping is not a fool, of course he heard the meaning of Fukushima Masanori, but under the persuasion of Kyogoku Takaji, he did not intend to deal with it, but measured his body and chatted with Kyogoku Takaji, this scene made Fukushima Masanori very uncomfortable.
"Is it just that you have identified the right mansion, hmph, these guys, is there still a young master in their eyes?" Fukushima Masanori snorted coldly, and said to Kuroda Nagamasa firmly: "No matter how the Right Mansion decides to deal with the Inner Mansion, I don't care too much about it, but after returning to Beijing, the Right Mansion's attitude towards the young master is more worthy of our attention." ”
"Fukushima attendant, there are some things that must not be said nonsense." Kuroda Nagamasa originally wanted to direct Fukushima Masanori's anger to Tokugawa Ieyasu, so as to instigate him to come forward and say "what he wants to say", but the result was unexpected, Fukushima Masanori only cared about the dispute with Wasuka Housekee, worried about Hidebo's threat to Hideyori's position, and Tokugawa Ieyasu's dissatisfaction was placed in a less important position, which made him disappointed, so he had to end the topic hastily and find another way to put Ieyasu to death.
In fact, among the top 20 daimyos, although the daimyo occupy five seats, Kuroda, Shimazu, Mabe (Satake), and Hosokawa Tadashi all had correspondence with Ieyasu before the war, and in addition to Hosokawa Tadashiko, the other three are also two-headed bets, don't look at them now in the top 20, if they really want to go back to Osaka for a general assessment, it is really difficult to say whether it is a blessing or a curse.
Therefore, these daimyos also had the same idea as Kuroda Nagamasa, hoping that Tokugawa Ieyasu would be executed here without being judged, so that he would not make the decision to die after returning to Osaka and thus implicate his own family.
However, they are not fools, although the proposal to severely punish Tokugawa Ieyasu at the table can exert some pressure on Hidebo, but the result may be twofold, one is that everyone echoes in groups, and Hidebo is forced to characterize Ieyasu as a conspiracy and temporarily detain him (as long as they are determined, these guys can follow the example of Mori Katsunobu and take Ieyasu out of the cell and kill people) or directly execute; The other is to arouse Hidebo's dissatisfaction, which will not affect Ieyasu, but will weaken his own image in Hidebo's heart, which will not help him in the post-war process.
After weighing it repeatedly, these daimyo decided to find a "substitute for the dead", that is, to let those who were dissatisfied with Ieyasu stand up and let them say what they wanted to say, which is the so-called "killing people with a knife". I never thought that the seats of these daimyo were not very good, not to mention Kuroda Nagamasa, Shimazu Yoshihiro was Yuki Hideyasu on the left, and Fujido Takatora was on the right, sitting in this position, I'm afraid it would be much better to be silent than to deliberately provoke.
The Mabe clan had previously spoken with Hideho, and his maintenance and persistence of the Satake clan disappointed Hideho, so in this case, he would never dare to stand out. In the face of Kobayakawa Hideaki's side knock, instead of being moved, he persuaded Kobayakawa Hideaki to use his special status in the Toyotomi family to directly admonish Hideho, and when the time comes, he will definitely echo and promote the severe punishment of Ieyasu.
Speaking of which, I have to mention Hideaki Kobayakawa who is not a person inside and out. On the one hand, he belonged to the Toyotomi daimyō, but his mediocre performance on the battlefield was no different from that of the foreign daimyō, and he did not regard this battle as a battle related to the life and death of the Toyotomi clan, which caused suspicion and alienation between Hideho and many Toyotomi daimyos; On the other hand, he had correspondence and covenants with the Tokugawa clan, but he turned a blind eye to the Tokugawa clan's crisis, which became a reason for the defeat of the Tokugawa army, so Tokugawa Ieyasu hated him to the core, and did not plan to keep the two sides secret for him, which also made Kobayakawa Hideaki's situation more critical than the others.
It stands to reason that taking this opportunity to punish Ieyasu severely to Hideho is the last chance for Kobayakawa Hideaki, but the key lies in this, and Hideaki's identity is not enough to make Hideho make up his mind, but will be thought by Hideho as wanting to kill people and increase the disgust in his heart, so these words must be said by a relatively neutral daimyo. Ikoma looked like he didn't care about himself, and he couldn't move, so Xiuqiu could only pin his hopes on the Mabe clan, which caused a conversation between the two later.
"It's over, it's all over." Kobayakawa Hideaki looked at the Daimyo who was sitting in front of him but did not move, and suddenly his heart was cold, and he poured himself a drink with a sad face.
Who would have thought that a moment later, a "hula" sound would attract everyone's attention to Fukushima Masanori's seat. I saw him violently push away the food table in front of him, stand up with a stagger, ignore Kuroda Nagamasa's obstruction, take a wine glass and stride to the hall, and staggered to Hideho.
"Oh? Would the attendant like to have a drink with me? Hideho was unimpressed by Fukushima's rudeness, and instead smiled.
"That's natural, after this battle, the right house is the great hero of the world of Kuangfu Fengchen, and I must respect you below." Fukushima replied vaguely.
"That's great!" Hideho nodded happily and neatly raised his glass towards Fukushima Masanori.
"But before that, I have a question for Youfu, I wonder if you can give advice?" Instead of raising his glass, Masanori Fukushima stared straight at Hideho and said this.
"Speak, squire, and I will know everything." Xiubao still has a smile on his face.
"Dare to ask Youfu," Fukushima Masanori cleared his throat and asked in a loud voice, "Can you keep the oath that Taiko made with him during his lifetime, settle for the position of hindsight, and abide by the responsibilities of the monarch and minister, instead of coveting the world of the young lord Xiulai as rumored?" ”
