Chapter XII The Official Opening of the Conference

In June, the wedding of Tadashi Kujo and Mitsuko was successfully held. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 Info Hidemitsu followed the wedding team to Kyoto as previously arranged and witnessed the wedding ceremony of the two.

It is gratifying that although Zhongrong and Wanzi are political marriages, they get along unexpectedly harmoniously. At least after the marriage, according to the people, the face of Young Master Zhongrong, who originally had a cold and indifferent expression every day, has hardly appeared on his face now. And Mitsuko has a beautiful girlish smile on her face all day long that matches her age.

Xiuguang, who learned about this, was very happy. He was so happy that he almost forgot his current age, and he actually wanted to take Xiuzong to the tavern to drink with great interest.

What I feared most at the beginning is now gone, and that's the best piece of news. Xiuguang thought to himself.

But now that I think about it, I realize that the couple was mentioned in the history books I had read before. The relationship between the two of them was so good that they had seven or eight children, and Zhongrong didn't even marry a side room. Thinking of this, Xiuguang couldn't help but smile, feeling that this couple was simply a model couple.

In short, it is already a good thing for this political marriage to have such a good start. Xiuguang also silently blessed Zhongrong and Wanzi in his heart at this time.

The Toyotomi family also financed the construction of a new mansion for them in Kyoto in anticipation of this marriage.

As a result, under the influence and impetus of this political marriage, the relationship between the Toyotomi family and the Kujo family became closer and closer.

Hidemitsu and Hidemune immediately prepared to leave for Fushimi Castle after dealing with all the matters of the wedding ceremony. However, it is worth mentioning that they have a small stumbling block on the road this time.

"Your Highness! Your Highness! You can't go there! ā€

At this time, the boy who was shedding a lot of snot and tears, dragging Hidemitsu's feet to prevent him from leaving, was named Oda Naonaga.

Born in the first year of Keicho (1696), Nashaga was the fifth boy born to Oda Yurakusai Nagamashi who served in the Toyotomi family, and was appointed as Hidemitsu's small surname and guard just before this trip.

Shang Chang's personality is very weak, and he is known for being timid and afraid of things within the Toyotomi family, and he loves to cry more than girls. For this reason, he was ridiculed by many of his older brothers since he was a child. Now even his father Yurakusai can't stand it anymore, so he informs his niece Lady Yodo, hoping that his weak young son Shocho can serve as a guard for Hideyori or Hidemitsu, so as to change this character of him.

Lady Yodo agreed to his request and made Shocho Hidemitsu's bodyguard.

So it became the situation now.

Shang Chang is a person, he is stupid but he is not stupid, and he is also very clever. As soon as Hidemitsu wanted to avoid this slug and sneak to Fushimi Castle, he immediately discovered it, and finally asked Hidemitsu their next destination with a dead face, and then used all his strength to drag Hidemitsu back.

"Bastards are still long! Do you want to defy the decision made by His Highness?! ā€

Xiuzong, who didn't want to make a big deal out of it for others to know, roared in a low voice.

Shang Chang was usually quite afraid of the martial arts type Xiuzong, but now he cried even more when he was yelled at like this, but he still didn't let go of Xiuguang's thighs.

"Woo... Your Highness can't go to Fushimi...... There's... Toku, Tokugawa-sama's ...... Woo...... I must not let or let His Highness ......"

How to say it, although he is timid and afraid, in some ways, Shang Chang is still quite loyal.

Xiuguang was very helpless about this, and Xiuzong thought that the plan was to let this guy know, and he must not let him go back, lest he tell Mrs. Yodo. Xiuzong glanced at Xiuguang, who nodded knowingly, signaling to allow Xiuzong to do so.

"Stop talking nonsense, crybaby! Your Highness can do whatever he wants, and you don't need to care! Hurry up and get up to me! ā€

Without saying a word, Xiuzong tied up Shang Chang, who was still chirping, and stuffed it into the carriage that had been prepared. Then Xiuguang also hurriedly stepped into the carriage, and Xiuzong quickly stepped on the horse, driving the carriage carrying Xiuguang and Shang Chang and disappeared from everyone's sight.

……

Inside Fushimi Castle.

The sumo tournament held by Hideyasu is about to begin. Today, Hideyasu's mansion is home to a large number of daimyo and their close samurai, as well as sumo wrestlers who participated in the tournament. The task of entertaining them was mainly carried out by Hideyasu's retainers, Honda Tomimasa and Honda Nari Shige. Xiu Yasu himself was at the gate of the mansion waiting for the arrival of the most important person.

"Your Excellency, I haven't seen you for a long time. How have you been doing lately? ā€

That important person was none other than Hideyasu's biological father, Tokugawa Ieyasu, who is now the general of Seiyi and the elder of the Genji.

As soon as Ieyasu came, he greeted Hideyasu with a smile, and Hideyasu hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

The father who rushed over on official business and personally stepped forward to receive his daughter. On the surface, it seems that this is indeed a harmonious father and daughter who are talked about.

The samurai, a close confidant of the Tokugawa family, who followed Ieyasu's side, also talked about it.

"It is said that Hideyasu-sama has a grudge against Ieyasu because he was sent to the Toyotomi family as an adopted son when he was a child, but this is not the case today."

The samurai whispered and made such a comment.

And Xiuyasu didn't react to this from beginning to end, and didn't say anything other than entertaining her father Ieyasu, and always maintained her calm and unwavering face.

"My lord, all the adults who entertained us have arrived and are in place, and the meeting can begin."

The retainer Honda Tomi was running over and whispering to Hideyasu. Xiuyasu nodded and said to his father Ieyasu,

"Father, all of you are already here, please come with me and take a seat."

Under the guidance of Hideyasu, Ieyasu sat in the position that Hideyasu had arranged for him.

While his samurai were busy announcing the opening of the convention and preparing for the meeting, one of Ieyasu's close associates whispered a few words in his ear.

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ Is this serious? ā€

"Yes, they were already tracking them when they entered the city. What should I do? ā€

"Let them come. Don't interfere with their actions. Does Xiu Kang know about this? ā€

"No, my subordinates estimate that Lord Xiukang doesn't know about this."

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ Is it. Then it was commanded. ā€

"Yes, my subordinates know."

The trusted samurai hurried away. Ieyasu's eyes narrowed, no one knowing what he was thinking.
