Prime Minister Bizen

Chapter 153 Isn't it?Send big sister again?

For some reason, the Tsutsui family in history was not transferred to other provinces outside Kinki by Hideyoshi.

But Junqing Tsutsui didn't understand this information, even Hideyoshi's suspicion of Hideyoshi was unclear.

In the eyes of the current Hashiba family daimyo, Hideka is Hideyoshi's best son, who owns the territory of 4 koku in the four countries including Bizen. Even if this Ishitaka is an independent daimyo, he is a very influential existence.

At the same time, the fighting power of Hideyoshi's Bizens is second to none in Hideyoshi's military service certificate, helping Hideyoshi to complete the crusade against Moori and Nagamune.

Hideka is also the half-brother of Hideyoshi's only son, Humatsu. When Hideyoshi comes to power a hundred years later, Hideka must be the most influential first vassal in the Hashiba family. How could the Tsutsui family rush to curry favor.

Because of drinking a little wine, Hideka slept in the dormitory prepared by the Tsutsui family for Hideka in Yamato Koriyama Castle.

But not long after falling asleep, she heard a noise outside, Xiujia opened her eyes in a daze, and saw a few figures illuminated by the faint candlelight outside the house.

"Hanbei, what's the situation outside." Hideka exchanged Shimizu Yukiya's name in the house, and if Hideka remembers correctly, he was already on guard for Hideka tonight.

The door was opened, and Xingya knelt outside the house to salute the Hide family, "Just now the Tsutsui family wanted to quietly send a woman to accompany His Highness, but this ninja found it and stopped it."

"It's not quietly, it's just sending the little girl to His Highness Habayashi openly and aboveboard."

Hideka followed the voice of the voice, because it was too dark outside, it was really hard to see who was speaking in the shadows, but Hideka identified it from the voice, it seemed to be Tsutsui Shoji.

So Hideyoshi tentatively asked, "Is it Brother Joji?"

"It's me, Your Highness Yubayashi. Jia Yan was afraid that His Highness would be too lonely at night, and wanted to send my younger sister Fujihime to His Highness to serve His Highness to rest, but was stopped by this guy, who also said that he wanted to assassinate His Highness. It's an insult to the family." Tsutsui Joji's voice revealed seriousness and anger.

In fact, the Xiu family already understood the meaning of the Tsutsui family, and believed that relying solely on the brotherhood of sworn brothers could not form a strong alliance with themselves, so they hoped to bind themselves together through marriage.

"Hanbei, hold the lamp." Now that the quiet behavior of the Tsutsui family has been discovered, the Hide family needs to face up to this matter and have a good talk with the Tsutsui family.

Not long after, the two oil lamps in the dormitory were lit, and there was a gleam of light in the house, and Hideka invited Tsutsui Sadaji and Fujihime in.

Seeing that although Fujihime came to the house, she was still sitting in the corner of the door, the Hide family could only look at the beauty sent by the Tsutsui family through the lights.

Fujihime is wearing a white silk Aoyi, which is usually the clothes passed down by wives and concubines before serving their husbands, and the inside of the clothes is naked.

This dress is similar to the one-piece pajamas of later generations. In conservative Japan, this dress is usually only worn by wives and concubines at the last step, waiting for the husband's favor.

For the convenience of sleeping, Fujihime's hair has been put down. When she bowed to Xiu's family, her long and straight black hair slid down the sides of her shoulders like a waterfall.

It has to be said that the genes of the upper class daimyos in the Warring States period are relatively strong. Although the lights are a bit dim, Fujihime's face is still so pretty and lovely.

Taking a closer look, it looks very much like Guo Biting of the later generations. Perhaps she has passively accepted the fate of the family. There is no trace of a smile on Fujiji's face, and her glamorous appearance gives people a different kind of beauty.

"Your Highness? Your Highness Habayashi?"

Tsutsui Joji's call awakened Hideo from the shock, and Hideo unknowingly fell into Fujihime's beauty trap and made a very inappropriate move.

Perhaps it was because Xiujia had been staring at him, Fujihime's cold face flushed red, and she lowered her head in embarrassment.

"Ah, I'm really sorry, Brother Dingci, I'm sorry."

Xiujia hurriedly apologized to Dingji and Fujihime for his rudeness just now, but Xiujia seemed to see a hint of joy from Dingji's face.

"Is Your Highness living comfortably in the main house? Do you want to buy something?" Tsutsui Sadaji asked the Hide family with a smile on his face that I understood.

"Ah, no need, Brother Dingci, I am very satisfied with the care you have given me. It is getting late today, and I still need to rest well. I will return to Xingfu Temple to lead the army tomorrow."

"Ah, yes, yes, but this matter is not in a hurry. I heard that His Highness is 12 years old now. Is there a marriage? I think His Highness and his sister-in-law are in love with each other. Why don't I ask my father to make a suggestion, how about getting married? Right now It was a good marriage.”

Tsutsui Sadaji's suggestion exploded in Hideo's mind with a bang, what does the Tsutsui family mean?
Not to mention that the Xiu family got a lady from the Tsinghua family to be the main room for the Xiu family due to the good fortune of being in the conservatory at the beginning. The position of the room should not be something that the Tsutsui family, who are only in their early [-], can expect.

Hideka clearly wanted to reject Tsutsui Sadaji's proposal, but thinking about how the younger brother who had just accepted would refute his face at this moment, he still felt bad, so he decided to delay it.

"During the banquet at night, my uncle said that brother Dingci was impulsive, but I still don't believe it. Now it seems that brother Dingci really needs to calm down."

"Huh? Habayashi, what do you mean?"

"I was ordered by my father to command an army of 2 troops to fight in Sanhe. Now that the war is imminent, how can I manage the personal relationship between my sons and daughters? When my elder brother thinks about me, I should also see the time."

"But this is also" Tsutsui Joji saw that Hideka refuted his face, and was eager to refute.

Of course, Xiujia knew what he was going to say next, and it was also what Xiujia was most afraid of what he would say. Xiujia was afraid that he would use Tsutsui Junqing's face to make a statement, and it would be difficult to refuse him at that time, so he called him decisively. Cut off his speech.

"Okay, Brother Dingji, I didn't mean to refute the kindness of the Tsutsui family. I have received the kindness from the Tsutsui family, but now is really not the time. No matter who made this proposal, the Hide family really does not have this idea now. Also, please Pass my reply intact to Young Monk Du.”

Seeing Hideka's determination, Joji could only swallow his words, bid farewell to Hideka, turned around and left with Fujihime.

After seeing them go away, the Xiu family asked the ninja who stopped them at the door, "What's your name, why haven't I seen you before?"

"My name is Kirigakure Saizo, who is a member of Iga's scattered people. I was taken in by General Habayashi to settle in Bizen. In the name of Mr. Tsusue Sanzhicheng, I will temporarily serve as His Royal Highness's personal guardian Shinobu. If necessary, you can call at any time. I."

The Xiu family heard this and nodded. Because of the lack of ninja troops in the Xiu family, Tsuge Sanzhicheng had to be a guardian ninja and manage the intelligence work of the ninja army. It was really tiring. The Xiu family saw his weakness. Exhausted, he will select several capable ninjas to protect himself instead of him.

Of course, Kirigakure Saizo was a newcomer who had never appeared before, so the Xiu family asked more. After all, every guardian ninja, Tsuge Sanzhicheng would bring them here in advance to let the Xiu family identify them and check the codes.

The Xiu family had no impression of this person at all, so it was natural that Sanzhicheng Tsuge brought them here to inform the Xiu family in advance.

"Where's Zhezhi Sanzhicheng?" Xiujia said sullenly, after all, he replaced his guardian ninja, and Zhezhi Sanzhicheng didn't inform himself, so why would Xiujia be angry.

"The leader is supposed to be resting. Do you want to report?" The voice came from outside the door, and the voice sounded familiar.

"Is it Asma?" Xiujia asked tentatively.

"It's a villain, what orders does Your Highness have?"

Asma is one of the three guardian ninjas that Tsusue Sannojo handed over to Hideka, besides Kakashi and Ishibi, of course these names are not their original names, they were given to them by Hideya for the convenience of memory After getting their names, the Hide family even gave them the surnames of Sarutobi, Hatake, and Morino respectively.

In ancient Japan, it was a great honor to be given the name of the lord. Now, as a humble name, you can still get the surname bestowed on you. The three of them are very grateful to the Xiu family. They guard.

"No need." The Xiu family stopped Asma who wanted to rule Tsusaki Sanzhicheng, but still asked, "What's the matter with him, Sanzhicheng didn't tell me before?"

"Yes, Saizou is the leader's younger brother. The leader wants him to try the work of guardian ninja, so we will arrange it for the time being. Because he is still studying and is not officially a guardian ninja, so he did not inform His Highness."

It turned out that this was the case. Tsusaki Sanzhicheng wanted to arrange his disciples into the guardian ninja, so he was asked to learn from the three of them. It is still unknown whether he can eventually become a guardian ninja as an apprentice.

If every apprentice came to inform Hideka, Hideka would be too busy to die, so Tsusue Sannojo didn't notify Hideka during the training of guardian ninja, and Hideka also expressed his understanding.

Kirigakure Saizo's name sounds familiar, but at the moment Xiujia can't remember the specific deeds of this person, just seeing that he is in the same grade as himself, so he asked curiously, "Your name is Wukai Saizo, how old are you this year?" How many years has ninjutsu been?"

"I was born in Yuangui four years ago. I am 14 years old this year. I have been learning ninjutsu since I was 4 years old. I have been learning ninjutsu for 10 years."

"Is that so? Who is the teacher?"

"My teacher is San Taifu of Baidi, who learned ninjutsu from my father for 7 years, and my brothers have been teaching me for the next three years."

Hideo calculated his age, and it happened to be the time when Oda Nobuo attacked Iga, and he started to flee with the Iga crowd before learning ninjutsu with Ishikawa Goemon and Tsusue Sannojo.

As he reported more and more relevant information, Xiujia finally remembered who this person was.

Saizo Kirigaku, one of the ten Sanada warriors in history, was the son of Masaemon Kirigakure, a retainer of Asai. When the Asai family perished, the two-year-old Saizo was fled to Iga Nabari in the arms of his retainers.

Then he studied Iga-ryu ninjutsu under the famous ninja of Iga, San Taifu, and named him Kirigakure Kaemon. He studied with Ishikawa Goemon. It was Ishikawa Goemon and Tsuge Sannojo. younger brother.

Without Hideka's intervention, in history, after Tsusue Sannojo led some of the Iga people and worked for Tokugawa Ieyasu under Hattori Saizo's persuasion, Kirikai Saizo chose to wander alone because of disagreement.

Later, he met Sanada's retainer Sarutobi Sasuke when he was traveling in various countries. After the two competed in ninja, they fell in love with each other, and under Sasuke's advice, they left the Sanada family and became Yukimura's retainer.

During the time when Xingcun lived in seclusion in Jiudu Mountain, he hid everywhere to inquire about the situation for Xingcun.Finally, in the Battle of Winter in Osaka, he died while infiltrating the Tokugawa Army to inquire about news.

Xiujia has always believed that a warrior who can leave his name in history must have his own merits.Therefore, I am very happy about the arrival of Wukai Saizou, and the previous unhappiness has been swept away.

Xiujia even encouraged him, "You did a good job. If the person who came was an assassin, I'm afraid I would have been decapitated without your stop."

Then the Xiu family turned around, took out a small golden leaf from the bag in his clothes, and handed it to him, saying, "This golden leaf is my reward. You must serve the public wholeheartedly in the future. I hope to hear from you again." Good news."

"Thank you, Your Highness, for the reward."

Wukai Caizuo took the gold leaf with both hands. The thin gold leaf is not very valuable, but in the eyes of Wukai Caizuo, it looked like a very precious gift. He wrapped the gold leaf carefully with a silk handkerchief. , received in his sleeves.

The Xiu family had finished handling the matter, so they said to several people, "It's getting late, and we have to meet up with the army tomorrow morning. I want to rest. You can continue to perform your duties."

"Yes, I will wait outside the house, and if there is anything, His Highness just orders."

After finishing speaking, everyone backed out and closed the door again.

Xiujia was lying on his back on the couch, thinking about his future, the most important thing in life.

Hideka is 12 years old this year. In old Japan, a 13-year-old samurai was already an adult, who could marry a wife and have children to bear the burden of inheriting the family business.

In the past few years, the Hide family has successively taken in three wives. Although Naoko Kagawa and Itanan are both concubines, only Kiyohime is really raised in the house in the name of the main wife.

But the above three people are in older grades than Xiujia. Kiyohime is 14 years old this year, Anan is 16 years old, and Naoko is 19 years old this year.

Judging from the experience of the three people living in the house, it seems that every time the Xiu family leads troops, they can always bring back a big sister.

The Xiu family really didn't expect this time to go to Yamato, the Tsutsui family thought of ways to give him a wife, and the Xiu family just paid attention to it, Fujihime is good-looking, but the grade should be 16 or 7 years old, another A "intimate big sister".

It seems that my "fame" has spread from Okayama to Kinai. The Tsutsui family specially found a relative who is as old as possible to marry me, but I really don't have these hobbies~
Putting aside these gossips, the Xiu family really needs to think carefully about their marriage partner now.

Qingji is indeed his nominal wife, but under the premise that he has no autonomy at all, Yujia's old lady Fang Zhengxing asked for it from Gongqing.

At that time, I was only the next daimyo of 38 koku in the Oda family, but Oda Nobunaga was already swallowing the world. Marrying a public woman who is harmless to humans and animals can really make the Oda family feel at ease, and at the same time can improve The family style of the main family, this may be the center of consideration of Hanfang Zhengxing.

Hanabou Masayuki didn't even think that the Uki family, who lived in Bizen and was constantly invaded by the Mori family, would one day become a behemoth across the Seto Inland Sea.

But the Xiu family, who knew the direction of history, would never choose a public woman as their main wife at this time.

Although it sounds like a bit of a scumbag, although the two of them didn't go through a wedding, they were only verbally engaged, after all, they have been raised in your house for many years, and now you can't do it if you say no, just like the stinky scumbag who abandoned his wife in the past.

However, the era that the Xiu family lives in now is an era of cannibalism. If the Xiu family only cares about the moral values ​​brought to future generations, and disregards the future of itself and the family, the future will definitely teach the Xiu family a severe lesson.

After much deliberation, the Xiu family decided to have a good talk with Ju Ting Ji Qing after going back, and clearly tell him the problems in this marriage, hoping to correct the room as a concubine (not a concubine's room).

And after Qing Ji, which one to choose as the main wife will help me the most, so it is worth considering carefully.
