The problem between Hidemitsu and Hideyori is back to the original point of conflict. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Why disagree?

"I've already made it clear to you why."

Xiu Lai said coldly in an unquestionable tone,

"Tokugawa-sama is one of the five elders personally named by my father when he was alive, and he is also the descendant of the Toyotomi family after the death of Maeda-sama."

This is the first reason given by Hideyori.

The identities of the five elders of the Tokugawa family and the identities of the later ones are indeed unquestionable. But now the situation of the Toyotomi family does not seem to be as simple and clear as it was when Hideyoshi was still alive.

However, even if Hidemitsu, who knew the future of the Toyotomi family, and other retainers such as the Hideya family, who had experienced the Battle of Sekigahara, could understand the current state of the relationship between the Toyotomi family and the Tokugawa family, Hideyori, who was in a high position and had no direct contact with the outside world, could not necessarily understand these rapidly changing situations.

This is a very dangerous situation. The head of the family has not yet sobered up, so what can the retainers do?

"Moreover, the Tokugawa family is Achi's maiden family. The Toyotomi family and the Tokugawa family are close relatives. How can you do something that harms the interests of relatives. ”

This is the second reason for Hideyori.

That's right, the Tokugawa family is indeed Chihime's maiden family, and according to this calculation, Tokugawa does have a close kinship with the Toyotomi family.

"When my father was still alive, many people lost their lives because of the world. Now is the era of peace brought by my father, if there is another war, how can my father turn a blind eye? As the sons of our fathers, we must naturally know this truth, and we must not let the people of the world get involved in troubled times. ”

This is the third reason for Hideyori.

In short, "I don't want the country to be drawn into an era of war again."

It's a lot like what a mild-mannered and kind-hearted hideyori would say. But......

Compared to my persuasion and deeds, if the spirit of the late father in heaven could hear what your brother is saying and how he treats the Tokugawa family, my father will probably be difficult for him to look at.

Thinking so, Xiuguang smiled bitterly in his heart.

When Xiu Lai sat on a high seat and seriously explained the reason why he did not accept Xiuguang's proposal and criticized this practice, Xiuguang's eyes also subconsciously glanced at the Xiu family sitting on the side.

Xiujia clearly showed a sense of disappointment. He pursed his lips, sweating a little in his head, and stared at Xiu Lai who was sitting in a high seat, with a lot of pleading elements.

Although his eldest daughter Xiu Gao also stared at Xiu Lai as directly as her father, her eyes were not as pleading as her father's, but with surprise, doubt, and anger.

Tsuranosuke and Tsukichiyo looked at each other after listening to Hideyori's reason for refusal, wondering if they were making eye contact with each other.

Katsubei was so excited that his cheeks turned red, but he didn't dare say anything more because of his status. Yamijiro and Sangoro didn't understand what everyone was saying because of their age, but the heavy atmosphere now made him start to feel low.

Xiuguang was really a little congested when he saw such a scene.

He comforted everyone a little with his eyes, then turned back to his brother and asked:

"Looks like my brother doesn't trust me, right?"

"No, it's not!"

Hideyori was a little angry at Hidemitsu's question.

"It's not that I don't distrust Xiuguang! But...... You've done incredible things, aren't they? It's not something that anyone can understand at all! ”

Hideyori didn't understand what his brother was doing. So it is impossible for him to agree, and it is impossible for him to agree, let alone cooperate with him.

"Although my brother is gentle and kind by nature, he actually has an extremely stubborn side in his heart."

That's why it's a little difficult for him to accept the reality of these original virtual images.

Xiuguang shook his head and sighed.

"My reasons have always been clear. The threat of the Tokugawa family to our Toyotomi family can be seen from all sides. Brother, don't you understand? ”

In this regard, Xiuguang refuted with a sharp reply.

"Where did you see that? Where did you learn about it? ”

Hideyori was equally ruthless.

Since the last quarrel, the conversations between the brothers seem to be filled with some faint smell of gunpowder. Now the feeling is starting again.

Xiuzong and Shigesei, who were sitting on the side and were in charge of the guards, both secretly frowned after hearing the smell of gunpowder in their words, and were a little worried that the conversation would turn out to be the way it was the night before.

"Aren't you just like me, Xiuguang? Growing up in Osaka Castle, how do you know what is real? I wonder why? How do you explain these things? Is that what you're talking about necessarily 'real'? ”

Xiu Lai frowned, feeling a little stuffy in his heart, but he couldn't vent it.

“……”

This......

Xiu Lai's direct rhetorical question made Xiuguang a little choked for a while.

It's impossible to tell my brother that he is actually someone who has come from another era and knows the future of the Toyotomi family.

Although he can explain why he knew about the Tokugawa family's ambitions on the grounds that he had more contact with the Hideya family, no matter how he thought about it, he always felt that this reason was still too far-fetched.

“…… I did it for the sake of the Toyotomi family!! ”

Facing the strong sense of distrust that his brother exuded, Xiuguang felt very uncomfortable.

This feeling of knowing that what he said was correct, but the other party didn't believe it, and he couldn't find the words to refute it...... It's really uncomfortable.

It's painful to have trouble communicating your feelings.

Xiuguang frowned, feeling like he had just swallowed an extremely bitter potion.

Just as Xiuguang was thinking about how to reply, Xiu Lai continued to retort reluctantly:

"For the Toyotomi family? First of all, whether it's true or not, Xiuguang, what you did was originally undesirable! In the Edo riots or something, it was the people of Edo who suffered in the end! I didn't tell my mother about what you did, which is already the greatest mercy! ”

The more she spoke, the more excited she became, and her words gradually began to bring angry feelings.

"Do you think your father's spirit in heaven would tolerate you doing such a thing?!!

This is a rebuke from the head of the house to the people in the house.

Angry and unable to understand the facts, lost and surprised people, it is difficult to weave words to refute themselves.

Entangled ...... It's really confusing.

Xiuguang's forehead jumped and jumped, and it was difficult to regain his composure.

"Hideyori-sama!! Listen to me!! ”

Just as Hidemitsu was about to answer Hideyori's words, a hoarse voice full of excitement suddenly sounded behind him.

As if ready to give a desperate admonition, the voice of the loyal minister was full of worry and sadness.
