Prime Minister Bizen

Chapter 243 Qianlong Tengyuan, Stirring the World

Hideyoshi finally couldn't wait anymore.

Although Konoe greeted him a long time ago before adopting him, Juting Qingji also persuaded him.

But at this time, Hashiba Hideyoshi is no longer the mud-legged countryman of the past, and he is no longer a guy who can be coaxed well after a full meal.

Even if he doesn't want to be in the top position, there is a group of people surrounding him, pushing him to climb to the peak.

Hideyoshi, immersed in the sea of ​​praise, can no longer restrain his inner desire for power.

Obviously that Zhigao's throne is right in front of his eyes, how could Hideyoshi let him slip from his hands.

The Konoe mansion was built very quickly, and Hideyoshi wanted to use this as an example to draw closer the relationship between himself and the Fujiwara family.At the same time, the construction of the emperor's imperial residence also began, and the emperor temporarily lived in the Xiandong Imperial Palace.

Only one month later, the Imperial Palace and the Konoe Family Mansion have been renovated successively. Hideyoshi, in the name of congratulating the Emperor on moving into the new residence, entered the palace to meet the Emperor, and revealed to the Emperor that he wanted to succeed Kanbaro.

Although Hideyoshi is already Fujiwara's surname at this moment, the way he obtained his surname has not been widely recognized by the public.

Regarding the appointment and removal of official positions, the emperor still depends on the face of the public, so Hideyoshi's invitation was rejected by the emperor.

The Hide family did not go with them, but it is said that Hideyoshi was insulted by Kujo Kentaka when he was in the palace, saying that he was unworthy of virtue and body.Even if it is the surname of the Fujiwara family, it is not qualified to be Guan Bai.

An angry Hideyoshi trembled.

Fortunately, perhaps out of the idea of ​​comforting Hideyoshi, the emperor raised his official position to the second right minister.This is the official position of Oda Nobunaga before his death, and it is also the highest official position that non-Genji samurai can currently obtain.

From this point of view, the emperor recognized that Hideyoshi officially replaced Oda Nobunaga and became the daimyo in charge of Kinki and even the world.

In addition, the emperor leapfrogged Hideyoshi Wuqitong's seal flag and gave him the right to ride an ox cart.

This Wuqitong pattern is a flag that Fei Guanbai and the general cannot use.To use the custom here in China: Although there is no place for a prime minister, all treatment is in line with the prime minister.

But Hideyoshi wants more than just a recognition, he wants to become an existence beyond Oda Nobunaga.

What he is doing now is just hoping to get everyone's approval.

He wants to prove that even a worthless mud leg can sometimes rule the world.

But on the side of Ashikaga Yoshiaki and Gongqing, he hit a wall one after another, constantly hitting his self-esteem.

"At the beginning, you said that only Fujiwara could not be Guan Bai, okay, I admit it. Now I have the surname of Fujiwara, and I have paid for the clansmen to repair the house and subsidize the family, but why do you still treat me like a dog? "

Hashiba Hideyoshi, whose rights have been infinitely expanded, absolutely cannot accept that he is stumbling over his feet by an identity.

Not to mention not allowing someone to laugh at himself with his origin.

He thanked the emperor for the reward with a trembling voice, and left amidst the sarcasm of the courtiers.

His heart was constantly struggling during this process, and his dissatisfaction with Gongqing could no longer be suppressed.

"By the way, there is also that funny emperor who has no opinion at all." Hideyoshi thought in his heart. "If you can't do it, it's the same for someone else to do it."

From childhood education, I was told that Emperor Hideyoshi's god-given status to that person, the emperor is the incarnation of god in the world.

Hideyoshi didn't dare to think of becoming the emperor on his behalf, but there are so many gods and Buddhas in the sky, and he didn't say that you, the incarnation of the god, must be the emperor, so it doesn't matter if he is replaced.

Interestingly, on the afternoon when the emperor Hideyoshi paid homage to was devastated, Kujo Kentaka once went to Kiyomizu Temple where Hideyoshi stayed to pay homage to the Buddha.

Kiyomizu Temple is located on the southwest side of Kyoto, in the Sanjobo where the Xiu Fu Fu Museum is located.Hideka did indeed receive an invitation from Sanjo Mihide to come to the mansion for a talk.

The Xiu family thought it was a very normal Cuju meeting. After all, the Xiu family was also bored, so they immediately agreed to visit. Who knew that there were more than a dozen senior officials sitting in the palace.

"Isn't it, children, playing Cuju, singing and singing, even the parents are affected?" The Xiu family was frightened by such a big battle, and came to sit in the hall awkwardly.

Since Xiujia's official position is the four lower left guard lieutenant generals, the seat position is not low, it is the seventh in the field and the fourth in the left hand.

Sanjo Mixiu introduced the people who were present to the Xiu family one by one, and as the names and official positions were continuously reported, the heart of the Xiu family increased by one point.

All present here are members of the Gongqing family with official positions. Except for a few families such as Konoe and Juting, including Jiutiao, Nijo, Yingsi, and Kuga, more than ten high-ranking and high-ranking families of Gongqing came.

What's interesting is that although most of the noble families in Kyoto are present here, none of the people who come here are the patriarchs of the clan, and most of them are some of the clan's other positions.Similar to the person in charge of the family account in the clan.

Looking at the serious expressions of everyone present, Xiujia thought to himself, "This doesn't look like playing Cuju."

"His Highness Yukita is truly a hero. Even though we are in Kyoto, we can still hear His Majesty's martial name. If His Majesty has a retainer like His Highness, why worry about the world being unstable." As the manager, Sanjo Mixiu After exchanging pleasantries, he took the initiative to bring the topic to the Xiu family.

When Xiujia heard that he used Yu Xita to call himself instead of Yu Chai Miao, his eyelids twitched, and he quickly refused and corrected him, "Don't dare, it's just a false name. I'm just a child. And I changed the name of Yu Chai Miao a long time ago. Could it be that you have forgotten about the Santiao Hall?"

In fact, the moment Xiujia sat down, she already had an ominous premonition.Xiujia, who is familiar with history, suddenly had a feeling of the "clothes edict incident" during the Three Kingdoms period.

Therefore, in the face of the compliments from everyone present, the Xiu family pushed them all out, emphasizing again and again that he was still a child, so don't bring yourself in such a life-threatening thing.

The current Xiu family just wanted to divert the topic as much as possible, and when the sun set, everyone would naturally have no excuse to stay, and the Xiu family could also use this to escape.

After all, the Xiu family at this time has the status of a public family, and the relationship with the Gongqing family was considered harmonious before.If possible, the Xiu family is also willing to give everyone a face, as long as some taboo topics are not expected, the Xiu family is not willing to break their face and leave the meeting directly.

Unexpectedly, seeing the light outside getting darker, and the Xiu family was still gardening with them, Nomiya Xiaokang couldn't help it, and accused the Xiu family, "Has General Huben forgotten His Majesty's kindness?" ? Now is the time when Hu Ben is needed, how can he keep talking about him?"

As soon as the voice fell to the ground, the hall was completely silent.

Xiujia looked at the stunned young man in his twenties in front of him, sighed in his heart, and said to himself, "My child, you are still too young." (There seems to be something wrong)
Seeing that the topic was exposed by Nomiya Xiaoyasu, Sanjo Shixiu simply stopped pretending, and directly bowed to Xiu's family, "Please also purge the traitors, Your Highness, and return the universe to the universe, and the public officials will definitely help Your Highness."

Hideka looked at Sanjo Mihide lying on the ground with some disdain, and thought in his heart, "Could it be that Akechi Mitsuhide was fooled by you in the first place?"

The so-called scholar-peddlers will fail in ten years.I count on you group of ministers who have no power, no power, no soldiers and no strength to help me. Akechi Mitsuhide is really a tough guy, so I will believe it.

How similar is the current emperor of Japan to Xiandi Liu Xie in the Three Kingdoms period, and how similar is Hashiba Hideyoshi to Cao Cao.

In history, Dong Cheng was assisted by Changshui Captain Zhongji, and they were clever enough to recruit himself, the "Lieutenant General of the Left Guard", to join the group, but Zhongji was entrusted by Changshui soldiers, and he, the general of the Imperial Army, what?It's just a name.

Taking a step back, even if Hideyoshi didn’t know about these histories, Hideyoshi brought a total of 1500 soldiers and horses to Kinai, but the ones who came to Kyoto with Hideyoshi this time were only more than 30 attendant samurai of the same grade as Hideyoshi. More than a hundred banner warriors guarded.

Expecting a total of no more than 150 people to fight against the 3000 banners guarded by Hideyoshi, is it really easy for Hideyoshi to get ahead when he is young?

Taking a step back, if you ask someone to do something, you have to serve them comfortably.

You know, among the people present, the Xiu family has the highest official position.

Even so, in terms of seating arrangements, they still sit in the seventh place, and above Xiu's are representatives from 3 Guanshe's and 3 Tsinghua's.

It can be seen from this that even a daimyo like the Xiu family, who acts on the territory of a million stones and has 3 soldiers under the imperial court, in the perception of the ministers, even if he is an official under the fourth rank, he is still regarded as an official. The watchdogs are calling.

In other words, even if the Hide family can really succeed in the end, they will still not be respected by them. They are just another Oda Nobunaga or Hashiba Hideyoshi.

Faced with such treatment, why does the Xiu family work for these idiots?
At this moment, the Xiu family didn't want to stay in the hall for a moment, and began to look at Shimizu Xin who was waiting outside the hall for help.

It's a pity that he was only a servant of the Qingshui tribe, and only started to receive education when he came to the Xiu family. He didn't know much about the twists and turns in politics, and didn't understand the meaning of the Xiu family.

At this moment, Hideka just thought that it would be great if Zhuang Zhiqing or Kenjiro were still by his side.

Xiujia closed her eyes in despair, preparing to pass the time in silence.

Just at this moment, a warrior outside the palace came to report, "Your Highness, Counselor Yu Chai has something to look for, and he is already waiting in the mansion."

The sound of nature!
As if the Xiu family had found a life-saving straw, they stood up from their seats, and apologized to everyone in embarrassment, "Hahaha, I'm sorry, the Waka Club is about to end like this, but my uncle must find me." There is something important, I will take my farewell here first."

The Xiu family gave enough face and said that the Waka Concert was over and resigned, but who here doesn't know what it means?

The reason Xiujia said that was mainly because of fear.He was really afraid that there would be swordsmen ambushing behind the sliding door. If the Xiu family disagreed, the Gongqing family would come out and hack and kill.

It can only be said that the Xiu family was overwhelmed. If it was a safe period, the public might still fight for a while, but now the Xiu family directly rejected it, and everyone looked mournful.

Sanjo Mixiu even walked down, grabbed Xiujia's arm and said, "Waka is rising up, Your Highness is going to leave, why don't you stay for a while?"

Hideka withdrew his hand from his embrace, and walked quickly to Shimizu Shinya and the others.With the protection of the samurai around him, the Xiu family became more courageous, and continued to ask for resignation, "I have something to do at home, so I really have to decline. Next time, next time, I will definitely have a good time with everyone."

After finishing speaking, he turned around, led a dozen warriors, and left without stopping any longer.

After leaving the Santiao mansion, Xiujia looked at the samurai who had rescued just now with some interest, and said to Xu Wen, "You have a flexible mind, what's your name, and which family's samurai are you from?"

"Yes, my name is Seijuro, and Doi Shikibu Shaosuke is my father." The teenage youth introduced.

When Xiujia heard this, he suddenly realized, "It turns out that he is the son of Shikibu Shaosuke. No wonder you have a flexible brain. You can think of the attention by borrowing my uncle's name."

The man was taken aback by what the Xiu family said, and replied abruptly, "That's not the case, Your Highness, what I said is the truth, His Highness Yu Chai really came to the residence."

Xiujia stopped, turned to look at him and asked, "Aren't you the attendant who came out with me?"

"I'm going to be a little older next year, and I've just entered the Banner Congregation to serve, and I haven't had the chance to become His Highness's attendant yet."

The Xiu family stipulated that the entourage specially recruited samurai children who were over 13 years old and under 20 years old to join the army.

As for the 20-year-old Banner Samurai, if they want to join the attendant team, they can only take care of these children for the Xiu family as the squadron leader of the attendant team.

Hideo's heart skipped a beat again when Seijuro said it.

He should have thought earlier that now the whole of Kyoto is Hideyoshi's eyeliner, let alone this small Sanjofang.How could such a large-scale gathering at Gongqing's house not attract Hideyoshi's attention.

Hashiba Hidecho may have learned the news in advance and came to help him.

Even if not, for such a big matter, the Xiu family must make a statement to Hideyoshi. This statement cannot be as passive as Liu Bei in history. The Xiu family must take the initiative to cut seats with the Gongqing family.

Thinking of the Xiu family here, his expression became gloomy. "Dead fellows don't die poor daoists" can only be used by borrowing your heads.

Hideka said to Seijuro, "Seijuro, hurry back to my mansion now, and call all the Banners over to surround the mansion of the Sanjo family. No one can come in or out."

"Banbingwei, you bring more than ten attendants to stand guard in front of the mansion, and block the door before the Banners come, and you must not let the people inside escape."

After the Xiu family finished speaking, they rushed to their house with the rest of them.

As soon as he entered the house, he stepped on the corridor without taking off his shoes, and finally came to Hashiba Hidecho out of breath.

Xiuchang was also pacing back and forth in the side hall agitatedly by this incident, when he saw Xiu's family coming back, he stepped forward and said, "Hachiro, have you gone to see those ministers?"

Xiujia noticed that there was a cup of Xiuchang's tea on the table, and he didn't care to understand it, so he picked it up and drank it in one gulp, only then did he feel that his burning throat was relieved a little.

"I'm about to report this matter to my uncle. Some rebels intend to misbehave my father. I urgently need to tell my father now." After finishing speaking, he pulled Hashiba Hidecho outside.

Before he walked a few steps, he saw the door of the next room open, and the monkey-faced man stood at the door impressively.

"Who wants to harm me?"
