Chapter 4 Omi's Great Acceptance
At the beginning, Hideho really couldn't think of any reason to make Ishida Mitsunari attack him, after all, he was only a seventeen-year-old child, and even at this time, he hadn't reached a position that threatened him, so why frame himself together, is this person really so ruthless?
But when Xiubao slowly sorted out his clues, he had to admit that his ideas were too naΓ―ve: first, what era is this? It's the Warring States of Japan, and it's the Warring States of Japan that is famous for the following! Isn't it the 21st century, for the sake of their status and honor, even their fathers and brothers can be killed mercilessly, let alone outsiders who are not related by blood?
Second, who is Ishida Mitsunari? It's obvious that he is Taiko Hideyoshi's confidant, and if you dig deeper, it will serve Xiuyoshi, a hundred years after Hideyoshi, Ishida must think that the world should be Xiuyori's when the time comes, so all the factors that are unfavorable to Xiuyori's inheritance of the world must be eliminated, Xiuji is, Xiuqiu is, and he is naturally too.
Thinking of this, Xiubao's mood was inexplicably calmer, and he even felt a hint of suddenness, "In this way, I don't need to show mercy to my subordinates, right?" Otherwise, it will be me who disappears from this world. He looked at Ishida with his peripheral vision, took a deep breath, and walked straight into the house.
Hideyoshi on the couch was sitting precariously, and Hidebo, who was a nephew, naturally did not dare to slack off, like his retainers, knelt down deeply, and gave a great salute, "Toyotomi courtier Yushiba Nayan Hideho See His Royal Highness Taiko. His voice was loud but as calm as he could, his head bowed, quietly waiting for Hideyoshi's return salute.
"Get up, Tatsuchiyo." Hideyoshi motioned for Hideho to look up in his slightly thick Owari accent. He straightened his waist, straightened his clothes, and took the lead in speaking: "Your Highness, Wechen came to the so-called three things this time," Hideyoshi was stunned for a moment, and he was probably thinking in his heart, how could Tatsuchiyo, who used to be absurd and mischievous, seem to be a different person today, and can discuss things with me so seriously, and after being surprised, he motioned for Hideho to continue.
"The first thing is naturally to thank His Royal Highness for sending someone to visit Wechen in the Wechen House a few days ago, although he was still in a coma at the time, but after listening to his mother's story, Wechen can still feel His Highness's care and care, so I came to thank him."
"Don't say such polite words in the family," Hideyoshi waved his hand, "You are my nephew, you should visit you, after all, you are Xiaozhu's only son..." β
When Hideyoshi heard this, he immediately stood up from his step, "You, what did you say?" Let me confiscate your fief? Tatsuchiyo, you are young now, and you may not know what this 1.1 million stone means, and now you let me take it back, is it because I am too young to be in charge? β
Xiubao smiled in his heart: "Hmph, this is giving me the stairs, right?" If he said yes, then Hideyoshi has no reason to refuse, isn't that exactly what he wants? Hideyoshi, Hideyoshi, do you think I really want to hand over the land of the Three Kingdoms? β
Hideho raised his head to look at Hideyoshi, who pretended to be surprised, and replied in a slightly sad voice: "Uncle, I think that when my father was alive, it was naturally easy to govern the territory of this million stones, but now that my father has died, my nephew really doesn't know if he can deal with it as easily as his father, so he also asks his uncle to take back these fiefs, which can be regarded as an explanation to the people and his father." β
Hearing Hideho mention Hidecho, Hideyoshi unconsciously fell into deep mourning again, he was still an ordinary person in terms of emotions after all, thinking of his younger brother who died early, looking at the young nephew in front of him, a wave of emotion suddenly rushed into his already cold heart.
He stretched out his hand to help Xiubao up, pressed his hands on his shoulders, and said earnestly: "Tatsuchiyo, aren't you afraid that Xiaozhu's spirit in the sky will be uneasy when you say this?" You are his son, you can naturally manage that land like him, and you can even become my right and left hand like him, why should you be arrogant and be willing to live behind? β
Hideho could see that Hideyoshi's psychology had changed, so he struck while the iron was hot: "My nephew can still be your right and left hand without this million stone fiefdom, if my uncle is willing, I hope to serve His Royal Highness Shimaru as much as my father served you, and even if it is only 10,000 stones, I am willing." β
This passage really moved Hideyoshi: "Are you really willing to work for Shimaru?" "Yes, that's the third thing I've done this time," Xiu Bao paused, looking at him with a determined gaze, "I hope that Uncle will cut off the fief of Lord Guan Bai and order him to become a monk!" β
If the previous words were one wave after another, then Hidebo's last request was a monstrous tsunami, which completely dispelled Hideyoshi's doubts.
Hideyoshi couldn't believe that this was from the mouth of Hideji's own brother, so he asked, "Tatsuchiyo, Sekihaku is your own brother, how can you make such a request?" Hideho replied without hesitation: "Uncle, from the moment I became the adopted son of my father, I have always listened to my father's teachings, and asked me to serve you with all my might like him, and now that Lord Sekihaku has turned angry eyes at you, then what else do I have to say, of course, I want to help you clear the obstacles of His Highness Shimaru, after all, this world will be his in the end!" β
Hideyoshi was completely convinced, he didn't expect that a young child could say such cold words, and he didn't expect his younger brother to leave such a firm supporter for Shimaru! "Xiaozhu is really an admirable guy, he can cultivate such an outstanding son!" Hideyoshi nodded heavily at me, thinking, "Since I'm a supporter of Shimaru, why do I need to suppress him?" On the contrary, as a member of the few Toyotomi families, it should be cultivated and cared for.
Thinking of this, Hideyoshi finally made a decision, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face: "It is worthy of being Xiaozhu's son, but he really has his bearing and courage, Sun Qilang's affairs will be done according to your wishes, how to say it is also your brother, the place of exile will be chosen in your fiefdom - Koyasan in Kishu, don't be too difficult for him, as long as he doesn't cause anything, you can try to meet his requirements." β
Now that Hideho has already done this, I guess Hideyoshi doesn't want to do things too much, so he just took this opportunity to splash all this dirty water on me, as for seppuku or something, it must be no longer necessary.
"As for your fiefdom," Hideyoshi paused, "I don't think there's any need to take it back, but I don't want to hide it from you, I want to leave the Izumi area to Shimaru, after all, it's too close to Osaka, and there are many forces, I guess you can't control it, as compensation, I'll give you a part of the Omi territory confiscated from Sun Qilang, which is about 370,000 koku in the five counties of Minami Omi, so plus the territories of Kishu and Washu, it is estimated that there are 1.2 million koku, right?" By the way, I'm going to recommend you to the Imperial Court as the two Great Nayan, and in order to better manage Omi's territory, you can move the castle there, and then you will be Omi Dainyan, don't live up to my expectations of you. β
Hearing this, Hideho immediately leaned over in front of Hideyoshi and said excitedly: "Thank you uncle for your kindness, my nephew must remember the teachings of his father, and swear to follow you and His Highness Shimaru to the death, and never let down your kindness!" β
After chatting for so long, Hideyoshi also felt tired, and after encouraging Hideho for a few words, he motioned for him to step down.
Just as Hideho was about to walk out of the door, Hideyoshi suddenly said coldly: "Tatsuchiyo, you have to remember what you said today, otherwise, you know the consequences." When Hideho heard this, his back was cold, and he immediately turned around and prepared to "show loyalty" again, but at this time Hideyoshi had already entered the inner room accompanied by the maid, leaving him alone to stand quietly in the room, Hideho felt cold all over, and asked himself silently: "Does Hideyoshi really believe me?" Is it true that Shuji is spared death? And can I escape Ishida Mitsunari's trap in this way? "All this is unknown, looking out the window at the bright spring light, I just feel that I have a lot to do.
