At this time, the Ukita Hideya had already slept soundly at Ninomaru's house, and Maeda Toshimasa was still staying in the Maeda Toshiya's bedroom.

"I never thought that my father would be alive to see you come back, it's really a blessing." Maeda Toshiya coughed a few times, and his body trembled with it, and his health was not optimistic.

Indeed, in the past three months, Maeda Toshiya has experienced the seizure of Mori Terumoto and the house arrest of Ishida Mitsunari, especially the former, who is very lax about the Riya's daily diet, and does not treat him at all with the standard of treating the elder, which leads to the gradual deterioration of Maeda Toshi's illness, and his body is becoming thinner and thinner, which is quite a sign of the approaching limit.

Fortunately, considering that Maeda Toshiya still has use value, Ishida Mitsunari immediately restored his standard of care to its usual state after taking over Osaka, but he was still confined to the yashiki and was not allowed to come and go at will, and during this period he did not even see the faces of Hideyori and Yodohime, even in the Osaka chaos last night, the eight samurai who guarded him still guarded the gate, and these guys did not disarm and surrender until Hideho completely took over Osaka Castle.

Although he was released from house arrest, the previous encounters had made him depressed and difficult to resolve, and the doctor brought by Maeda Toshimasa also proved powerless.

Maeda Toshimasa understands the physical condition of the Maeda Toshimasa family, and the impact of the two accidents on the Maeda family is also imaginable, so Maeda Toshimasa has long been prepared in his heart, even if he is grief, he still smiles and smiles, and Maeda Toshimasa imagines the prosperity of the Maeda family after the world is peaceful.

"After this battle, the family can be regarded as completely gaining a foothold in the new era, right?" Maeda's words were filled with excitement.

"A new era? Is this your assessment of the world after the Right Mansion came to power? Maeda Toshiie said kindly, his eyes full of hope and love.

"Sort of," Maeda replied, scratching his head a little embarrassedly and smiling, "I believe that Japan will be a completely different country in the future." ”

"It seems that you have a high opinion of Youfu." Maeda Toshiya still smiled and said, "I thought he would come here to visit his father afterwards, but it seems that he is thinking too much haha, I don't know if Youfu already feels that he doesn't need to be a father." ”

"Father, Youfu is definitely not such a person, and the doctor just now was invited by Youfu from Sakai Port at a great expense. Presumably, he was too busy with the aftermath to visit his father, so please don't speculate. Maeda Toshimasa was anxious to defend Hideho.

"Being a father is just talking, don't take it to heart." Maeda Toshiie's tone was relaxed, "But you have to remember that Youfu is not Taiko, let alone Xiu Changgong, and you must be absolutely careful when working with him in the future." ”

"What does my father mean by that?" Maeda asked puzzled.

Maeda Toshiya struggled to stand up with his arms, and when Maeda Toshimasa saw this, he immediately stepped forward and let Toshiya lean on him.

"You are twenty-two this year, Bizen Prime Minister is twenty-seven, Major General Yuki is twenty-six, and Youfu is only twenty-one years old, although you are younger than all of you, but you should have also discovered that his abilities are far above you, and the abilities spoken by my father include war strategy and political skills, and of course, people's hearts." Maeda Toshiya held Maeda Toshimasa's hand tightly, and said while panting: "At present, it seems that the three elders of Tokugawa, Uesugi, and Mori will inevitably be kicked out of the center, and the five commissions will not last long after this matter, so in the joint meeting of the elders, only our Maeda family, Bizen Uki, and the in-laws of the right house, Kai Asano family." The latter two are the adopted sons of Taige, and the other is the father-in-law of Youfu, and they will stand on the side of Youfu, so that Taige's original intention of setting up a joint conference - to balance the power of the daimyo no longer exists, so whether the joint conference will continue to exist is a very delicate matter. ”

"Father means that the relationship between the main family and the right house is not as close as the Ukita and Asano families, and they will be excluded when the time comes?" Maeda Toshimasa was slightly surprised.

"If the joint council continues, then the main family, as a member, will be one level higher than the other daimyos, and will still be treated with the superficial respect and friendliness of the right house, just like the other two families. But what if the joint meeting doesn't exist? The three daimyo will return to the same level as the other daimyos, and at this time, the right house will no longer be bound by the joint council, and vigorously promote the daimyo who are friendly and close to him, do you think the family will be able to maintain its current status at that time? Or will the Right Government still pay equal attention to you and Prime Minister Bizen as it does now? ”

"This ......" Maeda Toshimasa's words made Maeda Toshimasa speechless for a while, although it was difficult to accept but it was not unreasonable, yes, now Hideho is respectful to Maeda Toshiya, and he also trusts himself, this is likely to be a last resort when the situation has not stabilized, if he really controls the central power, can the Maeda family still be as superior as it is now? Maeda Toshimasa also beat a rattle in his heart.

"Then according to my father's wishes, the family should do everything to prevent the dissolution of the joint meeting? Erchen believes that the young lord and Mrs. Dian will not be willing to see the Youfu family dominant. In this regard, the family can enlist their support. Maeda said.

"Then you'd be wrong," Maeda Toshiie shook his head, "If Taiko had just died, maybe the young lord and Lady Yodo would have stepped in to stop it as you said, but not now." ”

Maeda Toshiya paused and continued: "The two Osaka riots, as well as the melee that swept the world, weren't they all provoked by a different name? Even the Ono brothers, Ishida Jibe, and Aizunaka Nayan are close to the daimyo who is already the center of the center will plot against it, will the young lord and Mrs. Yodo still believe other daimyo with different surnames? Therefore, my father doesn't want you to support them in this matter, first, it is impossible, and second, it is incapable, orphans and widows, and they will rely on the right house for more days in the future, will they fight him-for-tat for the sake of their own family? ”

"If this is the case, I am afraid that with the strength of my own family, it will be difficult to prevent the Right Government from dissolving the joint conference." After listening to Maeda Toshiya's words, Maeda Toshimasa was really a little disappointed.

"You are wrong again, at this time, instead of stopping it, you should take the initiative to persuade the Right Government to dissolve the Joint Conference, only by getting ahead of Ukita and Asano can you gain more trust and attention from the Right Government." Speaking of which, Toshiya Maeda is already a little tired.

"Offering to ask for disbandment? Father, I really didn't expect this move. Although Maeda Toshimasa was a little unwilling and disappointed, he finally decided to accept Maeda Toshimasa's suggestion.

At this time, Maeda Toshiya gently patted Maeda Toshimasa's hand and said kindly: "Since you want to gain a firm foothold in the 'new era', there are some things that you must be willing to give up. ”
