One day after Hidemitsu returns from Kyushu, let's turn our attention to Hideyori, who is his brother. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Xiulai is still the same, learning etiquette, learning culture, and learning a series of other complex and trivial things. In short, it's always learning.

However, this afternoon he did not stay in the study all the time, but was in the main hall.

As for the reason, it was actually because he had to listen to some things reported by his retainers.

Although it is said that it is "retainers", in fact, those who can see Xiulai with their own eyes are also a small number of important ministers and close ministers.

Therefore, now kneeling in front of Hideyori are only Katagiri and Moto, the old man of the pen family, and Osamu Ohno, a close minister. And Hideyori's mother, Mrs. Yodo, was also sitting next to him at this time.

Xiu Yori adjusted the plain hunting clothes embroidered with flowing gold patterns on his body and the black hat he wore on his head, and made a very serious appearance in front of the two retainers. Although he is indeed very serious.

"Speaking of which, Xiu Lai, how is Xiuguang doing? I heard you went to see the kid today. Mother, I wanted to go and see him, but Hidemitsu said that he was not in good health, so it was inconvenient for me to come in. Alas, it's really worrying. ”

Lady Yodo, who was worried about Hidemitsu's health, immediately inquired about Hidemitsu's condition after seeing Hidemitsu.

"Hidemitsu heard that his health is starting to improve. I heard it from Shang Chang today. Mother, you don't have to worry too much, Xiuguang is probably fine. ”

Xiulai thought for a moment, then smiled at her mother and signaled that she didn't have to worry.

"So, is there anything important to report today?"

After greeting some parents with his mother, Xiu Lai asked Ji Yuan about today's important things.

Because Xiulai is only 14 years old this year, he is not in power. However, although Xiulai is not often in contact with government affairs now, he is still more enthusiastic and interested in it.

To tell the truth, wearing the so-called noble and elegant official clothes every day, and learning cumbersome rituals and culture all the time, this made the peaceful Xiulai also began to get a little tired of this.

So in this regard, Xiulai sometimes inexplicably envy his younger brother Xiuguang, who is four years younger than him. Because he is a fourth man, he is not the governor of the Toyotomi family, so he doesn't have to be noticed every day like Hideyori, study every day, be supervised every day, and be expected by his mother and retainers every day.

However, although he was a little tired, Xiulai did not express any dissatisfaction, but diligently and steadily studied according to the path arranged for him by his mother, Mrs. Yodo.

"Yes, Hideyori-sama. In fact, there are a few new things to report today. ”

This is a milder character, the old Katagiri and Yuan. He nodded cautiously, and then began to report back to Hideyori:

"The first thing is that Hidetada-sama has arrived in Kyoto."

"Ah, it's Hidetada-sama. I remember hearing that you said before, it seems that you went to Beijing to serve your two younger brothers? ”

"That's exactly what happened. Ieyasu-sama ordered Hidetada-sama to bring Gorou Taimaru-samaru and Nagafukumaru-samaru to Beijing to serve the two of them. Now Hidetada-sama has arrived in Kyoto. ”

"However, shouldn't the matter of the Yuan service be handled by Lord Ieyasu himself? Why did the second-generation Admiral Seiyi, who was the governor of the Tokugawa family, take his younger brother to the Kyomoto service at such a time? ”

After hearing this, Xiulai had questions about this matter,

"And Yuan, could it be the impact of last year's Edo riots?"

"Well, the old minister probably should be right."

Although the Tokugawa family did not say anything about it on the surface after last year's Edo Unity, judging from the reactions of the Tokugawa family afterwards and the letter secretly sent by Mrs. Yodo's sister Oe, Yatsunari Hidetada has now been regained by his father Ieyasu.

And this time the Yuanfu incident is also, it is estimated that Ieyasu is worried that there will be a big riot in Edo like last year, so he does not plan to leave Edo City, but the two sons have already scheduled to go to Beijing Yuanfu, so they simply let the second-generation general Hidetada, who was in a semi-solitary state, go to Kyoto as his own replacement for Gorou Tai and Nagafukumaru Motofu.

Originally, it was a dualistic politics between Hidetada and Ieyasu Edo, but I didn't expect it to last less than a few months, and it was marked by the end of this riot. The man who had now regained all the power of the Tokugawa family in Edo had returned to Ieyasu.

Although Hideyori did not know that his aunt Ae in Edo had sent letters to his mother, he could probably understand what kind of power changes might have taken place within the Tokugawa family after the riots.

As Hidemitsu said in Kyushu before, don't underestimate Hideyori, let alone Hideyori's insight.

When it comes to perceiving something, Hidelai has a wisdom that is unique to him.

"And the second thing is that the second son of Lord Hidetada and Mrs. Ajiang was born in Edo dozens of days ago, and the child was named Kunichiyo."

This second thing is more important than the first. This means that there is one more heir of the Tokugawa family.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Yodo's face couldn't help but show a look of nervousness and thought.

In fact, Mrs. Yodo doesn't hate her sister Ajiang. It's just that the Tokugawa family's constant birth of children made her a little panicked.

And Hideyori didn't notice the bad look on the face of his mother, who was sitting behind him.

"Really? It was a joy. And Yuan, you can go and prepare a congratulatory gift tomorrow and send it to Edo Castle. ”

Contrary to his mother, he is rejoicing in this matter.

"As for Ah Qian, I will personally go and tell her about this happy event."

For some reason, Xiu Lai showed a very expectant look.

"Yes. Lao Chen understood. Later, I will prepare a congratulatory gift, and I will be sure to prepare it as soon as possible and send it to Edo. ”

And Yuan immediately nodded in agreement.

"Is there another heir to the Tokugawa family......

Osamu Ohno, who had been silent since just now, suddenly spoke at this time.

"And our Toyotomi family is still just Lord Hideyori and Lord Hidemitsu, and Lord Hidemitsu is like that. It's dangerous. ”

His face was the same as that of Mrs. Yodo, and it was not very good.

Xiulai was inexplicably a little angry when he heard this.

"Governor, what do you mean by danger? Or do you want to say that there is something wrong with Xiuguang? ”

In the face of Xiulai's sudden anger, the governor didn't dare to say anything more, so he had to keep his mouth shut.

Ever since this topic, Hideyori has felt that the atmosphere in the main hall has become annoying. I can't say how I feel, but I just don't like it.

"I'll go back to my study first. Mother, the child takes her leave. ”

So Hideyori chose to leave the meeting in the middle of the discussion between his mother and his retainers, as he did during the visit of the High Terrace Temple.

Of course, Xiu Yori did not go straight back to the study as he said, but got up and went to another place.
