"Great achievement?" Hideho sneered, "If you want to talk about meritorious service, it is also Mano Toyogo Mamoru and Nomura Iyomori, and the other team leaders, what have they done, isn't His Highness clear?" ”

"Not to mention that the two of them were bewitched by the Zhibu, but Ito and Hayami have made great contributions, if it weren't for them, there might be another sword in Osaka Castle." Ukita Hideya knew what Hideho meant, but he still tried to keep Shohisa Hasami and Nagami Ito behind.

Hideho was somewhat tired of the Ukita Hideya's successive questions, and he didn't want to continue to entangle at the moment, so he said bluntly: "Your Highness, you are putting the cart before the horse when you say that. If they hadn't obeyed the arrangements of the Ministry of Justice to participate in the riots, how could there have been a series of follow-up events? Even if they had revealed the news to us in advance, they wouldn't have to spend so much energy, but what about them? It is difficult to say that it is voluntary to suspend the army after our army entered Sannomaru and obtained the imperial order of the young master, right? Therefore, they must be treated differently from Mano and Nomura. ”

"Your Highness, is it also wrong that they only ceased their troops when they saw the imperial order?" Ukita Hideya asked unhappily.

"Then they only raised their troops when they saw the Imperial Order? It's obviously a bunch of guys who see the wind and steer the rudder, why does His Highness work so hard to exonerate them? At this time, Hideho's words also became unkind.

"His Royal Highness is angry, and he is not helping them to excuse him," perhaps sensing that Hideho was angered by himself, Ukita Hideya hurriedly lowered his posture and expressed kindness to Hideho: "It's just that they are also old ministers who followed Taige to birth and death, and if you let them out, won't it chill the hearts of other former Taiko ministers?" Besides, the young lord and Mrs. Yodo may not necessarily agree. ”

"Mano Toyogo and Nomura Iyomori are still in Osaka, and most of the Owari faction's fiefs are close to, and these former Taiko ministers are all arranged to be stationed nearby to guard the young lord and Mrs. Yodo, isn't that enough? Do you have to leave these guys who see the wind and steer to think about the young master and the world? Although it could be seen that the Ukita Hideya was a little subservient, Hideho still maintained a condescending posture, after all, it would be difficult to establish prestige among these daimyo in the future.

"This ...... It's a gaffe. In the face of Hideho's ruthlessness, Ukita Hideya was horrified, he didn't expect that the previously kind and approachable Youfu would show such a resolute and cold attitude towards him.

"The reason is really far-fetched." Ukita Hideya also muttered in his heart, "I thought that I would leave these guys behind so that I could contain Youfu in the future, but after all, there is still no good excuse, and it seems that I can only admit defeat for the time being." ”

"His Royal Highness is the adopted son of Taige, and it is reasonable to be good to these old ministers. But you should know that he is Taiko's nephew, and this is also for the sake of the Toyotomi clan and the young master. Driving out these guys at both ends of the first rat, giving them enough knowledge and action, and exempting them from the punishment they deserve, can be regarded as an explanation to Taige. As he spoke, Hideho patted Ukita Hideya on the shoulder and comforted: "You and I are both important ministers of the Toyotomi clan, and if you have any doubts, you have to say them face to face, which is much better than misunderstanding each other in the future." Isn't it? ”

The words "swords and soldiers" shocked Ukita Hideya, and he felt that this was not Hideho casually talking, he was probably reminding himself not to challenge his bottom line.

"What His Highness said is very true, this matter is all arranged by His Highness." Ukita Hideya replied respectfully.

"In that case, it's time for us to discuss the second thing." Hideho nodded at Ukita Hideya and continued: "Now there are only two of the five elders left, and there is only one left of the five commissions, according to your opinion, which daimyo can be replaced?" ”

Hideho's question undoubtedly touched the heart of the Ukita Hideya, who had lost the first three rounds of the contest and believed that this was the last barrier to maintain the authority of the Toyotomi clan, and that it was necessary to elect the elder and the priest who was in the interests of Hideyori.

"What is Prime Minister Bizen's opinion on this time?" Hideho glanced at Ukita Hideya with a slight mockery in his tone.

"There are indeed a few candidates below for the reference of Youfu and you." Ukita Hideya replied: "Considering the strength and influence, I think that Wasuka Housesasas, Oda Hidenobu, and Date Masamune can replace the three elders, and Kato Yoshiaki, Ikoma Kazumasa, Hosokawa Tadashiko, and Kuroda Nagamasa can replace the four ministers. ”

After the First Battle of Hinobara, Date Masamune was 620,000 koku for Mitsu Minami (Sendai), Awa (Tokushima) for Awa (Tokushima) for Wasuka Eimasai, and Mino (Gifu) for 280,000 koku, which were the three daimyos with more than 200,000 koku and the three Daimyo who were close to Hideho.

Similarly, Hosokawa Tadako for Bunzen (Ogura) 390,000 koku, Ikoma Kazumasa for Sanki (Takamatsu) 200,000 koku, Kuroda Nagamasa for Mutsu (Miharu) 150,000 koku, and Otani Yoshitsugu for Tosa (Nakamura) 120,000 koku, are also high-ranking daimyo who are more distant from Hideho, but these daimyos are good at internal affairs, so they become the first choice in the eyes of Ukita Hideya.

Obviously, among the people selected by the Ukita Hideya, only the Wasuka housekeeper is regarded as the Owari faction, and some of the other daimyo were single-handedly promoted by Hideyoshi when he was alive, and some were originally local tyrants, and they had relatively little to do with Hideho. These people enter the center and can balance the power of Hideho as much as possible.

Of course, in order to make the candidate he nominated as justified as possible, Ukita Hideya gave his own explanation: "Compared with the previous five old names, they are all foreign daimyos, and I think that the new daimyo must have a pedigree, and it is necessary to consider the origin of the Toyotomi clan in order to use it." The Wasuka family was regarded as an important minister during Taiko's lifetime, and was deeply trusted; The Gifu Oda clan and the Toyotomi clan are inextricably linked, and it is very important to hold the Mino land; As the No. 1 name in the Northeast, Date also needs to be wooed. Therefore, the above three alternate elders are nominated below. As for the Hosokawa and other four families, I valued their close relationship with the Toyotomi clan and knew that they were good at internal affairs, so I suggested to you that they should take charge of it. Of course, the specific who will make up for it still needs to be discussed. ”

After that, Ukita Hideya looked at Hideho, although he expected that Hideho would not accept all the candidates he proposed, but how many changes there were, it was still worth looking forward to.

"Prime Minister Bizen is really thoughtful, as soon as the Right Mansion put it forward, you said so many candidates. I really admired it below. Asano Nagamasa said strangely.

"I can't hide it, I really thought about it for a long time, and this time I asked Youfu, so I said it by the way." Ukita Hideke laughed.

"I really didn't mean to go against His Highness, but I feel that the big guy pursues too many disadvantages of the system, and it's time to abolish it." Maeda Toshimasa said slowly.

"What do you say? Abrogate?! Ukita Hideya was shocked, he couldn't believe that Maeda Toshimasa, who was also an elder and had a higher level of knowledge than himself, would take the initiative to abolish the big guy's system, "Is he crazy?" Does he really not care about this supreme power? ”

Maeda Toshimasa ignored Ukita Hideya's surprised expression, and he said earnestly: "The Battle of Hibara began with the Great Elder Rebellion, and this Osaka Riot was the work of the Lord, after these two events, does Your Highness still think that this system can maintain the stability of the world and ensure the longevity of the Toyotomi clan's military fortune?" ”
