Chapter 188: Indecision and hard choice
"Please listen to me!!"
The voice came from behind Hidemitsu. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Both Hidemitsu and Hideyori were surprised by the sudden insertion into the conversation, and they both turned their gaze to the person who spoke.
To their surprise, the person who said this aloud was actually Xiujia.
The Xiu family, whether in the past or now, is a relatively peaceful person, and he doesn't speak very loudly, and he has the demeanor of a noble son.
But now he suddenly had red eyes, fists to the ground, a clenched lip, and a plea to Hideyori in a voice that was close to a roar. This sudden behavior made Xiulai and Xiuguang stunned the moment they turned around.
Xiuguang quickly realized what he wanted to say, so he nodded silently, stopped talking for a while, and pricked up his ears to wait for Xiujia to speak.
"Yes, it's Xiujia. Please speak. ”
Xiu Lai was surprised by Xiujia's reaction, so he also nodded and agreed with Xiujia's statement.
Xiujia straightened his sleeves and raised his head, and his first sentence was so straightforward.
"Hideyori-sama! Please don't blame Hidemitsu-sama too much for all the things she did!! ”
Ah, I thought the Hideya-sama was going to ask my brother to accept my request.
Xiuguang was slightly stunned, but he didn't expect the first thing Xiujia did to excuse himself.
"I don't want the relationship between Hideyori-sama and Hidemitsu-sama's brother to break down because of this kind of thing!! So the Xiu family thinks that this matter must be explained clearly to Lord Xiu Lai!! ”
“…… This kind of thing? ”
Xiulai suddenly felt a little incredible.
"Xiujia, I remember that you were a very gentle and kind person in the past, why do you want to excuse Xiuguang now for these hurtful things that Xiuguang has done?"
He wrinkled his cheeks and said with a blank look.
"I really don't understand! Why do you all say that? What is the reason exactly? Or is it because I really have a problem with my comprehension skills? ”
The feeling of untidy and messy cutting became stronger and stronger, and Xiu Lai clenched his fists, feeling a little distraught.
"Hideyori-sama, you're not wrong! But...... Hidemitsu-sama didn't do anything wrong! Xiujia just wants you to know this! Everything Hidemitsu-sama did was for the Toyotomi family!! It's the same thing to rescue the minister's family, and so is the planning of the Edo riots!! In any case, please trust Hidemitsu-sama! He definitely didn't do anything that didn't make sense!! ”
Xiujia fell to his knees. Xiu Gao and Xiao Heitai, who were sitting on either side of him, tried to help him up, but Xiu Jia kept locked on the ground and refused to stand up.
"We also know all these things that Hidemitsu-sama has done! We don't think Hidemitsu-sama did anything wrong! Because the current Tokugawa family is indeed extremely dangerous! Please also see the true face of the Tokugawa family! Don't be deceived any more! Xiu Gao, Xiao Heitai too! You say yes, right? ”
Facing his father's call, Xiugao and Xiaoping looked at each other and nodded.
"Father-sama is right, please trust Hidemitsu-sama."
Xiaoping was not as excited as his father, so that tears almost flowed from his eyes. He looks very calm on the outside, but now he is actually a little anxious about the way Xiu Lai looks.
"The true face of the Tokugawa family is even more relatable to those of us who have experienced it firsthand. My father and we are one of them. We have all seen what Hidemitsu-sama has done, and we have never done anything that is not for the sake of the Toyotomi family. Therefore, we also hope that Hideyori-sama will accept the proposal and agree with Hidemitsu-sama's plans for the Tokugawa family in the future. ”
Xiu Gao spoke much more than his younger brother. She was a full eight years older than Koheta, and she was already ten years old when she was arrested after Sekigahara. The strong contrast between the treatment before the age of ten and after the age of ten made her more understanding of her father's mood at this time.
While listening to the words of the Xiu family and the others, Xiuguang was silently observing the expression of his brother Xiulai.
Hideyori is now visibly shaken. He seemed to be pondering the information contained in these words, and carefully judging them
But there were still many worried looks in his eyes. There were many reasons and concerns that prevented him from immediately believing these views, and he could not make up his mind to agree to it.
My brother is now shaken, but it doesn't seem to work.
Damn it! Why is my brother so ......
You're the pillar of the Toyotomi family!
Xiuguang's temperament itself is very calm, but now looking at his brother Xiulai's various difficult choices, he is starting to become more and more anxious, and he faintly wants to attack.
"What Tokugawa is doing now, if the late His Highness Taiko hears about it, His Highness Taiko will probably not be able to look at it!!"
While Xiuguang was anxious in his heart, Xiujia did not stop his words.
"Father's ......"
Hearing the Hideya mention his father Hideyoshi, Hideyoshi's vacillation became more and more obvious.
"After the death of His Royal Highness Taiko, the Tokugawa family not only broke the rule that the daimyo could not marry privately, but also provoked the Sekigahara War on the grounds of the so-called rebellion!! Many people loyal to the Toyotomi family after the war were beheaded or exiled!! I'm one of them!! ”
"And after the war, the Toyotomi family's Taiko Hidden Land was also used by Ieyasu as a reward for the major names of the Eastern Army!! How is this kind of thing acceptable!! Hideyori-sama, do you know the current state of the Toyotomi family's territory? ”
"I heard that in the eighth year of Keicho (1603), Ieyasu became the shogun of Seiyi again! And last year, his son Xiuzhong succeeded to the position of the second generation of generals!! It doesn't make sense anyway?!! ”
The more Xiujia talks now, the more excited he becomes. He trembled with rage, grew louder and louder, and even roared hoarsely.
If you want to know how excited the Xiu family is now, just look at the red blood flowing from his fist.
What a transgression!! If the Tokugawa family has never been in the mood to seek to win the world of Toyotomi, then the Hidegawa family is willing to commit suicide on the spot in front of you, Lord Hideyori!! I definitely don't regret it!! ”
"Please don't shirk with words, Lord Hideyori!! We want you to be able to see the truth of things!! Rather than being at ease forever in the shadow of a retainer!! ”
The blood that flowed from his lips stained Xiujia's teeth red, and then dripped to the ground. But the Xiu family didn't care about this, he just cried over there. Even if someone cut off his arm with a knife and pierced his body with a bow and arrow, he would not stop his words.
I just hope that Hideyori-sama will be sober!!
This is probably what the Xiujia wants to express.
In this world, it is estimated that there is no one more loyal to the Toyotomi family than the Xiu family!
Xiuguang was a little moved. No, I should say that I was very impressed.
It is really very rare for an adopted son who is not related to the Toyotomi family to do this for the Toyotomi family.
It is impossible for Xiu Lai not to be touched by Xiu Jia's words. His eyes flickered, his breathing became more and more rapid, his palms kept opening and closing, his eyes were erratic, and fine beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead.
"It's a very important event...... I think...... Sure enough, it's better to go back and discuss with my mother before making a careful decision on this matter......"
His face was flushed, and he still didn't dare to cross his mother's threshold and make decisions on his own.
Xiuyori's indecision was taken to the extreme at this time.
“……”
Xiuguang's face darkened when he heard this.
The Xiu family and the others were stunned.
The Toyotomi family is dead!!!
Xiujia kept repeating this sentence in his heart, fell to his knees, and cried.
Xiugao and Xiaoping were too angry to breathe, watching their crying father grieve alone.
Yamijiro and Sangoro cried on the spot like Hideya.
Katsubei didn't say a word, but his cheeks flushed.
The Wind Demon siblings looked at each other, then shook their heads silently.
The atmosphere of pathos spread rapidly throughout the room. Xiulai looked at everyone and felt a sense of weakness.
At this time, Xiuguang, who had been with a black face since his brother said those words, stood up.
