Prime Minister Bizen

Chapter 226 The performance of Miyauchi Shaosuke

Ishida Mitsunari and Fukushima Masanori are deadly rivals, and there are even rumors that the two can argue a few words even in front of Hideyoshi.The main reason is that when the two were young, Fukushima, who was born in Owari, deliberately formed a gang to isolate and bully children who were not born in Owari.

Even Hideka was bullied by Fukushima Masaki when he was a child. In "Ning Ning Kindergarten", Fukushima Masaki is the absolute king of children, and Kato Kiyomasa and others are more of a coerced existence.

Ishida Mitsunari wanted to get close to Hideka on purpose before, because he had witnessed the young Hideka being bullied by Masanori Fukushima who had just taken Yuanfu. He thought that Hideka had the same experience as him in saving him, so he would be able to empathize with him The presence.

But now the show family is becoming more and more incomprehensible to Ishida Mitsunari. Obviously, the boy who let go of his cruel words and made Fukushima Masaru look good, is getting closer and closer to them.

Masanori Fukushima looked down on Hideo before, and always labeled Hideo as a "rich second generation" image, until Hideo helped Nakagawa Kiyohide against Sakuma Shengzheng's offensive in front of him on Mt. It bought time for Hideyoshi's main force to return to aid, and this made him look at this child who was 8 years younger than himself for the first time.

In the battle with Oda Nobuo and Tokugawa Ieyasu the following year, Hideo took the lead in logging in from the enemy's confidant, forcing Tokugawa Ieyasu to surrender, which also made him have some interest in Hideo.

This emotion is similar to admiration, except that he doesn't want to admit that he actually adores a guy who is not from Owari and who is several years younger than himself.

After returning to the capital, I heard that the younger brother of the Xiu family had been adopted by Ning Ning as an adopted son. Although legally speaking, the relationship between the Xiu family and Hu Song was only adoptive brothers, but this could not erase the fact that blood is thicker than water between the two. affection.

It can be predicted that after a hundred years of Hideyoshi, when Husong came to power, he would definitely value this elder brother.Therefore, representatives of the Owari faction represented by his "mother" Asano Nagamasa and Fukushima Masanori began to get close to Hideya frequently, as evidenced by Hashiba Hideji's dinner that day.

When bickering became a habit for the two of them, neither of them expected that Xiu Jia, who thought he belonged to his side, would stand up and "speak for each other."

The reason why the Hide family interrupted the quarrel between the two was very simple, because this was the military camp outside Okatoyo Castle of Tosakuni. In the camp there were not only the big names of the Hashiba family, but also Takakage Kobayakawa of the Mori family and the native tyrants of the Tosakuni.

If the two were in Osaka, no matter how much they quarreled, the Xiu family would not interfere, but in front of so many outsiders, the behavior of the two would give others a very bad impression-the Hashiba family was not united.

The behavior of the two families will eventually greatly reduce the effect of Xiujia's "muscle show", not to mention that now even the defeated side is watching their own jokes.

Seeing that the Xiu family was angry, the two of them calmed down and stopped arguing in order to save the Xiu family's face.The Xiu family was able to inquire with the relatives of Changzong's family.

"Why is Miyauchi Shaosuke so embarrassed? I almost didn't recognize you when you first came in."

The meaning of Xiujia's words is subtext. The external image of Changzong's family is in a state of embarrassment. When facing the destruction of the city, as the head of the family, he did not die with the city, but was captured alive. That's the real embarrassment.

For the powerful Changzong Ibu Yuanqin, letting these powerful family names who were suppressed by him in the past see his current embarrassment is the real social death and tramples on his self-esteem.

Although Hideka is very displeased with the Japanese tradition of harakiri, it is undeniable that this is the most important behavior of the current daimyo to avoid fate, and will be recognized by the current culture.

So why didn't Changzong Gabu Yuanqin, who had been influenced by traditional martial arts since childhood, choose to die at the last moment?This is the question Xiujia is most curious about right now.

Before Changzong's relatives answered, Fukushima Masanori couldn't help but said carelessly, "I know about this. When I found him, it seemed that he was about to perform seppuku in the castle tower, but unfortunately he was crushed by a beam." His thigh was injured, and he passed out. The samurai who were in charge of intervening around were injured in the head and died."

Kiyoshi Kato added from the side, "His Highness's big iron cannon is so powerful that it can even knock down the city wall. Neither Ichimatsu nor I thought that the Okatoyo Castle of Nagamune's family is vulnerable to a single blow."

"Idiot, that thing is called 'National Beng'." Ishida Mitsunari taunted him rather unkindly, which caused the two people to glare. If it wasn't for Xiu's face to face, they might really have drawn their swords and slashed at it.

The Xiu family felt a bit of embarrassment when they heard the narration of the two people. Perhaps for people like Chang Zong and our department, the secret seppuku is the best ending, and it will save them from being laughed at like a monkey walking north.

"Shaosuke Miyauchi is all right, the injury is not serious." The Hide family sent greetings politely, and Fukushima Masanori interjected again, "Reporting to Your Highness, the flower thief's leg seems to be broken, so I We can only use a stretcher to carry him out."

At this moment, the Xiu family is overwhelmed with ten thousand horses. The Xiu family is asking about the relatives of the Changzong family, in order to spy on his attitude and pave the way for the next step. Now you can say everything. , how can you do this?Xiujia secretly announced in his heart that he would be expelled from Fukushima Masamori's fan membership and take back his favorite views on him just now.

The Hide family pretended to be angry and stopped Fukushima Masorori's impolite behavior, but Nagamune Gabu Motokin said indifferently, "Don't worry about Wuweidian, it's my fate that I can't die with Oka Toyojo, but the two of you The young master's performance in the battle of Okatoyo Castle was quite impressive. There are two adults here, no wonder Hashiba is happy."

Good guy, he still doesn't forget to sow discord when he's about to die. Hideka looked at Fukushima Masanori, Kato Kiyomasa and the others' happy expressions when they heard the rainbow fart of Nagamune's relatives, and wished to kick them out of the original A burst of introspection.

"Shaosuke Miyauchi, do you regret your actions at the beginning?" Xiujia pouted, brushed aside the unhappiness in his heart, and continued to ask.

"What move? I really don't know why Changzong and my family have eviled His Highness, so that His Highness still chooses to attack our family, Okatoyo Castle, even though our family has already surrendered? Is this the sincerity of the Hashiba family towards their allies?"

Changzong Ibu Yuanqin deliberately said this passage very loudly, even the samurai stationed outside the shogunate could hear it clearly.He and Huafang Zhengxing looked at each other and said secretly, "Sure enough, it's still here."

Xiu used his spare time to glance at the facial expressions of the daimyos present, and it turned out that Xu, who had no interest in this matter, was pretending to be calm at the moment, but actually pricked up his ears to listen carefully to the ins and outs of the matter.

The Xiu family was originally deeply moved by the deep love between father and son between relatives Yuan and Xin, and the brotherhood between relatives Yuan and Tai, and wanted to save relatives Yuan's life after a little treatment, but now relatives Yuan is actually in front of her. So many people face slander, really feel angry and funny.

At this moment, Xiujia abandoned her illusions and was truly murderous.

Chang Zong, my family, Yuan, his heart can be punished!He is blatantly alienating the relationship between the Yuchai family and the powers of the four countries, and shaking the foundation of the Yuchai family's rule in the four countries!

The Xiu family who got angry was about to pretend to order Yuan Qin to be dragged out and executed, but was stopped by the flower house beside him.

"Your Highness, Miyauchi Shaosuke just wanted to see you in such a desperate state. It's completely incomprehensible that you killed him. Then you will be the real loser."

Hanafang Zhengxing quickly hugged Xiujia with his eyes, stretched out one hand and slowly pulled down Xiujia's raised hand. Under Hanfang Zhengxing's persuasion, Xiujia gradually calmed down. The man was sentenced to death, but Masayuki Hanabou was right, he couldn't be here, at least he couldn't be killed at this time.

"Miyaji Shaofu has a leg problem, so he should have a closer look with Jun Yi. If there is a hidden illness, it would be indecent when he goes to see Da Nayan."

After the Xiu family calmed down, they realized that they could not fall into Qin Yuan's trap, so they could use the excuse of his weak leg to slow down his treatment.

But Hideka and Motonin can't just squat in Tosa like this forever, they can simply say that Motonin was brought to Kyoto to meet Hideyoshi in the name of offering captives, and finally put the evidence on both sides in front of Hideyoshi before debating. Does Zongwo Yuanqian have the courage to say what he said again?

Although when everyone surrendered, they would have some tricks in presenting the Zhixing and military service certificates to the main family, but this is the first time I have seen someone like you swallowing Tosa directly.As I said before, this one crime is that your chief clan and my relatives hid the army and had mischievous intentions.

After the incident was revealed, the gates of the city were closed, trying to defend the city to the death.This is the second crime of your long clan and my relatives, resisting the heavenly soldiers, and the crime of treason is true.

What?You sent people out to negotiate over and over again, and the two sides hadn't formally signed the covenant at that time?I said you are, where did this nonsense come from.

The third crime is on top of the first two, slandering Shangguan and alienating colleagues.All of them are capital offenses, do you think your elder clan and my relatives can't escape?

Don't think that what your relatives are resisting is the Xiu family's four-nation crusade army. In the end, you will surrender again. You have already surrendered before, and you were caught out for doing small tricks.

On a larger scale, the resistance of Chang Zonggabu Yuanqin seems to be aimed at Hideyoshi, but its essence is to challenge the authority of Hideyoshi, the future "man of the world".

At that time, letting you cut yourself up will be considered good for you. For the case of Hideyoshi's handling of this matter, please refer to the historical killing of Ishikawa Goemon.

Then there is another question here, why didn't Hideka directly announce Yuanqin's issue here, but chose to return to Osaka to report to Hideyoshi and then confront each other?

Because the Hide family's information on Tosa's land and military service is all from previous records of this matter, and he himself has no real evidence!

In the previous dialogue with Gu Zhongcheng and Changzong's relatives, the letter between Lai Fang and Hosokawa Masato mentioned was written by Hidekakouhu.It should be said that there were indeed in history, but the Xiu family had never seen them.

If the Xiu family claims to all the big names at this moment that Chang Zong and our family's knowledge and deeds are fraudulent, there is no evidence that can be produced. After all, each family's real land situation data is only available to them.

If you say that you sent spies in advance to collect the information, it will deal a devastating blow to your righteous reputation and prove that you have premeditated the land of the Four Kingdoms.

But it’s different when it comes to Osaka. The real data on Tosa’s side will be judged by Hideyoshi, who is right and wrong at that time.

At that time, the relatives of Changzong's family could not escape execution, and Changzong's family would inevitably change.Xiujia will change from the identity of the perpetrator to the image of the victim who was wronged by Yuan's relatives.

At that time, the Xiu family made a very generous statement that they would not pursue Yuan Qin's slander, and pretended to intercede for Yuan Qin, so that they could take advantage of the situation and recruit some of the retainers and warriors of the Chang Zongwo family to fill up the strength of the family's low-level retainers.

What do you mean by "killing your heart and killing your heart" means killing your whole family secretly, and you think I'm speaking for you, so you have to hurry up and thank me.

The Xiu family, who had a plan in mind, did not give Qin Yuan any time to think, and directly ordered the samurai guarding outside to come in, "Take the young assistant out of the palace and ask the military doctor to take care of him."

After finishing speaking, he said to the daimyo who watched the excitement in the shogunate, "Changzong, my family, and Yuanqin are misleading the public. I hope you don't believe his lies. I wanted to deal with him directly, but now I just let him go to Osaka with you to meet him." Yuchai Da Nayan, Da Nayan will come to justice quickly, and by then, there will be a fair judgment on what is right and wrong."

Everyone is just here to gossip, even if your Hashiba Xiu family is really playing tricks, we dare not say no, now that the Xiu family has clarified, everyone has said, "I will not believe the words of Miyauchi Shaosuke, everything is based on the show. The expression of the family is the main thing.”

As for the matter of visiting Hideyoshi in Osaka together, some daimyos said yes, but others said, "No, no, Osaka is too far away, we can just pay homage in Shikoku."

The Xiu family didn't insist on this matter, after all, some people were so stupid that even a few cows couldn't be pulled back.The big names who have never seen the world all regard Shangluo Canqin as a scourge, but they don't know what a good opportunity to show themselves.

The Northeast powerful powerful Ura believed because he knew that Hideyoshi became a man of the world, and he moved Hideyoshi with the story of going to Luo in person many times from 1585 to 1589. This is why Hideyoshi recognized the territory of 4 shi when he inspected the Northeast. The identity of an independent daimyo, successfully independent from the main family Nanfang.

You must know that the head of the Nanfang family at that time, Nambu Nobu, did not deal with it, but the Nanfang family was afraid of the power of the Hashiba family behind him, so they dared not do anything. In the end, they watched helplessly as the enemy who killed his father went out independently, and changed his surname to Tsugaru to show his support Legitimacy of Tsugaru Local Rule.

This wave is simply ridiculing, but Nambu Nobunao is restricted by the total safety order, so he can only watch Tsugaru Nobuo dancing on his father's grave, and finally, under the intermediary of Maeda Toshiya, Let Nambu Nobunao move the stone head of his biological father Ishikawa Takanobu from the Arioka area under the control of the Tsugaru family.

The rural daimyos of the four countries, as long as they have eyes and understand the meaning, how can they refuse the invitation of the Xiu family? In the end, only under the "repeated invitation" of the Xiu family, the daimyos above Wanshi reluctantly agree to be with Xiu. family to return to Osaka together.
