Chapter 250: Sangzheng's Proposal
Ishida Mitsunari's change of attitude made several other ministers present sigh, especially Asano Nagamasa, as Hideho's father-in-law, he was happy to see Ishida Mitsunari and Hideho release their past suspicions and work together for the foundation of the Toyotomi family
"It's right to think so," Asano Nagamasa smiled: "No matter how you say it, the right house is the cousin of the young master, and it is the Toyotomi family's own people, this is not comparable to the Edo Inner Mansion, although the battle of Komaki Nagakushou subdued the Tokugawa family, but he Tokugawa Ieyasu has always been a piece of Taiko's heart and has no choice but to be decided in the world, and he can't find a reason to suppress him, and he has also obtained a huge knowledge of 2.56 million stone in Kanto, if it weren't for the fact that the right house has opposed him several times or three times, I'm afraid the current strength is far more than that."
Ishida Mitsunari nodded: "Yes, now that I think about it, at Nagayoshi Pass, it was his army that defeated the arrogant Mikawa soldiers, captured Honda's horseflies and shot Honda Tadamasa's blind one eye, I was very excited when I heard the news."
"This is not the key, the most important thing is that the right government took this opportunity to reduce the Tokugawa family's Ueno Ichikoku more than 500,000 stones, this move is a move that makes the world look sideways" Nagashu Masaka also lost no time in saying, at the beginning of the battle of Nagayoshi Pass, he also participated in the battle as Hidebo's strength, if he hadn't been recalled by Hideyoshi later, now he may still be a member of the old assessment team, recalling the days under Xiubian, it is indeed more than now
However, as a member of the five commissions who are the least concerned about the world, Maeda Xuanyi poured a basin of cold water on everyone: "The right house is not dealing with the inner house, but he didn't take the Taige in his eyes Ai originally Taige ordered him to go to Aizu to read out the punishment of the Gamo family, but what about him, nosy, took the opportunity of the banquet to kill many wealthy clan leaders, aroused Junyuan Sanyi, in seven days, more than 30 wealthy families were wiped out, more than 6,000 people were killed and injured, is this way of dealing with the inner house?" As you know, Tokaido has long been no longer the domain of the Tokugawa family, and the Right Mansion is making a big move there, isn't it trying to challenge the authority of the Taiko? ”
"What does the monk mean by this, could it be that the right government has bad intentions and bad intentions?" Asano Nagamasa was indignant, he knew in his heart that this Maeda Genyi was living a life of idle clouds and wild cranes on the surface, but in fact, he secretly communicated with Tokugawa Ieyasu, and often revealed confidential information about the five commissions to the Tokugawa family, of course, it was precisely knowing this that Ishida Mitsunari had to avoid him when he encountered a major event, and the reason why he was allowed to be in Chao this time was mainly to test his tone
Before Hidebei came to prominence, Asano Nagamasa in order to find a backer, but also through Maeda Genyi and Tokugawa Ieyasu contact, but with the rise of Hidebo, the Owari faction has no need to flatter Ieyasu, Asano father and son naturally cut off their dependence on Maeda Genyi, and the two have been strangers since then, and with the death of Hideyoshi, Ishida Mitsunari changed his view of Hidebo, so that he re-accepted Asano Nagamasa, although there is still a gap compared with Nagashu Masaka, Masuda Nagamori, but at this time Nagamasa's status is much higher than that of the pro-Tokugawa Maeda Genei, This naturally made this powerful monk a little dissatisfied, and in order to follow Tokugawa Ieyasu's instructions and pull Kamata Mitsunari as much as possible, he was determined to slander Hideho, and at the same time to say that Asano Nagamasa once again squeezed out the core of the Gojo
When the other commissioners all changed their views on Hideho, Maeda's remarks were somewhat out of place and even disgusting
"Monk Zheng thinks that the right government has ambitions for the world?" Ishida Mitsunari asked coldly
Maeda Xuanyi nodded solemnly: "That's right, you also said just now, the Right Mansion called on the world's daimyo to 'know and return it', but the returned territory was included in his own pocket, isn't this ambition?" The poor monk also heard that in order to distinguish them from the Taige Hidden Territory, the acting officials he sent to various places called these territories 'Youfu Hidden Territory', which is clearly a confrontation with the young master."
"Monk, what nonsense are you talking about, is it not easy to use your head if you read too many Buddhist scriptures?" Asano Nagamasa angrily interrupted Maeda Genyi and angrily reprimanded: "The so-called hidden land is the territory directly under the daimyo, and it is called so in order to distinguish it from the 'Zhixing land' of the retainers, not only the Taiko, but also the fiefs directly under the daimyo, which can be called the hidden land, this is, you as a religious leader don't even know this, right?" What kind of division, I think someone is sowing discord and trying to take the opportunity to create a contradiction between the government and the right government."
Hearing Asano Nagamasa blatantly express his dissatisfaction to himself, Maeda Genyi was both shocked and angry, and thought: "I think if it wasn't for the poor monk, how could your Asano family be next to the big tree of the inner house, now it's okay, seeing the rise of the right house, and shamelessly throwing himself into his arms, and marrying his daughter to someone else as a concubine, Changzheng, Changzheng, it's really not an exaggeration to say that you are a white-eyed wolf."
Seeing that the two commissioners were in trouble, Ishida Mitsunari was silent, and quietly analyzed the forces behind these two people: "One represents the inner government and the other represents the right government, I thought that the united executive faction is now also divided, since he wants to form some kind of tacit understanding with the right government, he should have enough strength, if he finds that he is a mess in his hands, how can he be treated equally?" No, before showing goodwill to the right house, you must enhance your strength, not to mention riding a tiger, but also not to be underestimated! ”
"Okay guys," Ishida Mitsunari cleared his throat and quieted down the red-faced two: "Since the monk is still worried about the right house, then this matter will be put aside for the time being, if it is unstable today, our five commissions should be more united, and do our best for the foundation of the Toyotomi family, if there is no infighting like today, sooner or later it will be suppressed by other forces, fortunately, the current situation is relatively vague, and no one really takes the initiative, we can take advantage of this opportunity to unite some daimyo who have been excluded, Form a force to be reckoned with, and at that time, even if it can't dominate, it won't be passively beaten"
"The daimyo who is excluded?" Gen Maeda moved when he heard the wind, "You mean the daimyo who is outside the inner and right houses?" ”
"That's right, for example, Akinakan Nayan and Aizunakan Nayan," Ishida Mitsunari glanced at Genyoke Maeda, intentionally or unintentionally
"Governing the ministry must not be" As soon as he heard that Ishida was ready to unite the two elders of Maori Uesugi, Maeda Genyu immediately spoke out against it: "Our five commissions are already too busy to take care of themselves, how can we get involved in the affairs of the elders, the poor monk heard that now the five elders are also divided, Maeda is close to the right house, and the inner house is a family of its own, although the attitude of the Bizen Hall is unclear, but he is the son-in-law of the Kaga Palace, I am afraid that this cannot be ignored, the Akiden remains neutral, although Naoeyama Castle Mamoru is a close friend with you, But after all, it is Aizu Dianai who is in charge, and it is really not easy to win him over...... According to the poor monks, the Ministry of Governance can probe the tone of several daimyo in Kyushu, and as for the two highnesses you just mentioned, I'm afraid it will be in vain."
"The old bald donkey is afraid that if I become strong, it will be bad for the Tokugawa family, right?" Ishida Sannari nodded in approval on the surface, but he was resentful in his heart: "Since he said so, it means that the inner government also thinks so, and it seems that it is really necessary to unite with several other elders."
"What the monk is saying is reasonable," Ishida Mitsunari bowed slightly, "In this way, you will go to Kyushu on your behalf, and contact Shimazu Ryuzoji Temple Konishi Tachibana and other powerful daimyos, as for the matter between the elders, we don't have to think about it anymore."
