Chapter 204: Thinking about several final decisions
"If the current Ukita clan reveals the news that they are still alive...... You should be able to think of the consequences, right? ”
The consequence will definitely be that the Tokugawa family will find an excuse to hunt down again, and maybe their lives will be in danger in the end. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info this point that the intelligent Hao Ji can naturally think of.
"Under this premise, if Hidetaka is going to officially marry my family's Hyogoro, then he must find a way to hide his identity as the daughter of the Ukita Hideya family, who 'died' two years ago. Because after all, Hyogoro was born in a famous family, and his status in the Toyotomi family was not low. ”
As the eldest son of the famous Date family, and the close attendant of the younger brother of the head of the Toyotomi family, if the main room of Xiuzong with such an identity is an unidentified woman, then it is unjustifiable anyway.
If the identity is not clear, not only the retainers of the Toyotomi family will have doubts, but it is also likely to arouse the suspicion of the Tokugawa family.
As mentioned before, although Hidetaka can become the adopted daughter of a retainer of the Toyotomi family, it is more unsecure, and information and intelligence are more likely to be exposed.
Therefore, finding a way to arrange a reasonable external identity for Xiugao is the key to solving the problem now.
"Sister Yi, I have thought of a way to deal with the issue of identity, maybe it will work."
Hidemitsu told Haoji the method he came up with,
"That is, Sister Youyi, you adopted Xiugao as an adopted daughter. I think this approach is the most feasible. ”
"Huh? Let me take my daughter...... For an adopted daughter? ”
Ho Ji and Xiu Yori were a little caught off guard when they first heard this method, and their brains had not yet turned a corner.
"Yes. Sister Yi, don't be surprised, anyway, Xiugao is now a 'deceased' person on the surface, and if he does this, he can barely get by in terms of identity. ”
Xiuguang's meaning is probably that since he can't reveal his identity, and he needs a reasonable identity, then the method of letting Xiugao, who has already 'died', as an adopted daughter, meet two requirements.
After thinking for a while, Hao Ji understood what Xiuguang meant.
"I see. That's why I went to Beijing and said, 'You need my help.'" ”
However, Hoji still has concerns about this method.
"However, even if you become my 'adopted daughter', you still need a reasonable and decent biological parent, right? If not, wouldn't it be more likely to be suspected? ”
Ho Ji's worries are actually quite reasonable.
Because she considered that she was the main room of the Xiu family, who had passed away on the surface, and she was also the adopted daughter of Taiko Hideyoshi, her identity was already sensitive enough. And then at such a time, he suddenly took in an adopted daughter whose identity is unknown and is close to the age of his own dead biological daughter, then the shrewd Ieyasu will definitely be suspicious of this.
"Well, I've thought about that too."
However, Xiuguang has already thought of a solution, although it may be too bold.
"The identity of Hidetaka's biological father, why don't you ask Prime Minister Kaga?"
"Do you want to ask my brother to help create an identity for Xiugao? Why? Isn't that more ......"
Halfway through Hao Ji's words, she suddenly understood the meaning of Xiuguang's words, and opened her mouth in some surprise.
She thought that Xiuguang wanted to ask her brother Li Chang to use the power in his hands to find a 'biological parent' with the right status for Xiugao, but in the end she reacted-
"Xiuguang, what do you mean, do you want my brother to serve as this 'biological father'?!"
Xiuguang didn't inform Xiuzong and Xiugao of this idea in advance, so now the expressions of the two of them are the same as Haoji's, and their faces are full of incredulity.
Facing the same expressions of the three of them, Xiuguang smiled, and after waving his hand to calm everyone for a while, he began to explain his reasons for doing so.
"Don't be so surprised. While this may be a bit too bold, it's not impossible. Prime Minister Kaga is a stern lord in front of his retainers, but he is still a good brother in front of you, right? ”
Hearing Hidemitsu say this, Ho Ji remembered the many letters that the eldest brother, who now sits in the cabinet, wrote to him when he was young.
Perhaps because of his mother, or because he had been by his adoptive father, Hideyoshi, since he was a child, the eldest brother, who was twelve years older than himself, often wrote to her and often visited her in person many years ago.
Ho Ji has a good relationship with her eldest brother Richo. In other words, the relationship between Haoji and her half-siblings is very close, including her second brother Rimasa, who is now living in seclusion in Kyoto because of Sekigahara's defeat.
By the way, even now that Toshinaga is living in seclusion in Toyama Castle in Echichu, he often writes letters of condolences to Haoji and other brothers who are far away.
And also...... The reason why Toshicho hurriedly gave up his family governor to his twelve-year-old half-brother and adopted son Toshimitsu last year seems to be because his condition began to deteriorate.
"Indeed...... My relationship with my brother has always been good. ”
Why did Hidemitsu know these things?
This is where Ho Ji wonders.
It is very important to collect information from all aspects, and Hidemitsu has long begun to arrange for people to investigate this series of intelligence chains, so he dares to take the risk of proposing such a method now.
"Prime Minister Kaga's Sekiki shouldn't be sad."
With the shackles of blood and some other reason, it may be successful.
After conjecturing this conclusion, Hidemitsu finally decided to go to Beijing and start implementing the plan.
Of course, speculation is not enough. Therefore, it must be persuaded by Hao Ji, the closest relative.
"What does Sister Yi think of this method?"
After Xiuguang finished explaining his reasons, he asked Hao Ji.
After pondering for a while, Ho Ji looked back at her daughter.
"Do you really want to marry His Excellency Xiuzong?"
Then she shifted her gaze to Xiuzong again, looking at him with eyes that were much deeper than before.
"Your Excellency Xiuzong, do you really want to marry my daughter?"
Xiuzong didn't pause or think for a moment, just lowered his head and replied with only one word:
“…… Be!! ”
Although it was brief, this answer made Ho Ji very satisfied.
Xiugao's reaction was also the same as Xiuzong's, but there was less excitement and more calmness.
Xiuguang looked at Xiuzong with a look of relief as if he had seen his children finally grow up, and nodded silently.
"I see."
After listening to the answers of the two, Hao Ji had a light smile on her face, and she looked very pleased.
Immediately, she looked at Xiuguang,
"So, tell me what I need to do now."
