Prime Minister Bizen

Chapter 284

Hideka said in court that the agreement was negotiated by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, so they were all deceitful to Shinna Yuantada, but afterwards Hideka really needed to report to Hideyoshi what happened on the first day.

For the first time, Hideyoshi summoned Hideyo and Hachisuka Jiazheng in Obon Maru. When Hideyo and Hachisuka Jiazheng saw Hideyoshi, he was accompanying Tiger Song by the pond behind Obon Maru to feed the small fish in the pond.

Xiujia noticed that there was an elegant and luxurious woman kneeling beside Husong, who was Ning Ning, who was appointed by Beizheng; and beside Ning Ning was a young and beautiful woman. This woman is Yodohime Chacha who is being favored by Hideyoshi.

"I have seen my father (His Royal Highness Guan Bai), my Lord Husong Young Master, my mother (His Royal Highness of Beizheng Office), and my Royal Highness Dianji." The order of greetings of the two of the Xiu family has a lot of knowledge.

Needless to say, Hideyoshi is the well-deserved master of Osaka City and the most powerful person in the world.

Many people think that Ning Ning is after Hideyoshi, but it is not. Although Ning Ning is Hideyoshi's wife and Hu Song is his son, he has another identity, that is, the heir of the Toyotomi family.From this point of view, Husong's identity is truly under one person.

Finally, it is Dianji Chacha's ranking. Now Chacha has not yet given birth to Hesong and Shiwan.Coupled with his special status, Hideyoshi was almost forced to marry her, so in terms of his status, he was not even considered as the concubine of the medium, but at most Hideyoshi's concubine, so he was naturally placed last in the ranking.

If your status reaches the level of the Xiu family, all small things may turn into political incidents, so the Xiu family is also very concerned about such small things.

But just as Xiujia expected, when he put Chacha last, from the corner of his eye, he could already see that the smile on her face gradually disappeared, and she became a little cold.

"Oh~ Hachiro and Hikoemon are here. Let's talk about the result of today's peace talks." Hideyoshi turned his head and glanced, and continued to accompany Hu Song to feed the carp.

"Today's result is no result." Xiujia said with a serious expression.

Hideyoshi didn't respond to this answer, Chacha who was behind Hideyoshi stepped forward and laughed "puchi".

Hideyoshi turned his head and glanced at the direction of the laughter. When he found that it was Chacha, he smiled like he was licking a dog and said, "Chacha, are you laughing?"

After noticing that Hideyoshi was fawning on her, Chacha closed her smile and resolutely denied, "I didn't."

"Nonsense, I just saw you smile." Hideyoshi continued to lick, "Chacha also thinks it's very interesting, Hachiro, go on and talk about the specific situation."

The expressions of the two of them didn't take into account the presence of Hideyoshi and Hachisuka Kezheng's foreign ministers. Although they had heard about it in history, this was the first time Hideyoshi saw Hideyoshi in such a humble appearance.

And half a body behind the Xiu family, Hachisuka's housekeeping was already embarrassed and wanted to find a crack in the ground to get in.

After the two of you came and flirted with each other, Xiujia took up the conversation and described what happened today, and at the same time, Xiujia also brought his own analysis.

When she heard that Hideyoshi used Hideyoshi's name to deceive the Shimadzu envoy, Chacha laughed again, and Hideyoshi was very cooperative and said, "Well, let me say that this little guy has a lot of ideas, he can think of such bad ideas. come out."

Maybe Hideyoshi's posture was too funny, Chacha laughed even louder, Hideyoshi who was indulging in Chacha's smile, didn't realize that Chacha was laughing at herself, instead put down the tiger pine and "climbed" in front of Chacha, held Chacha's hand and said "Chacha, you are so kind to me, please smile at me more in the future."

Sitting next to Chacha, Ning Ning rolled her eyes speechlessly, but was caught by Hideka and Hachisuka Jiazheng who were opposite.

Summoning foreign ministers in front of the inner family members in the inner hall is originally an unethical thing, and now they are so out of touch in front of foreign ministers, which makes the Xiu family how to deal with themselves.

Hideie and Hachisuka Jiazheng, who were sitting below, exchanged glances, and they both pressed their foreheads to the ground, saying that they didn't see it when they came to the door.

But to be honest, Monkey's behavior is too disgusting, his love for Chacha is even a little perverted.

I don't know how long it took, Xiujia felt a figure in front of him dominate the sunshine, looked up and saw a pair of cute little feet, looked up, it turned out to be Husong who was only 3 years old.

The 3-year-old Husong can already walk, and after being put down by Hideyoshi, he went straight to Hideyoshi's house.

To be honest, this is the first time in the Xiu family to see his brother at such a close distance. The grade who obviously doesn't understand anything has become a tool used by various forces.

Now seeing his tiger-headed and tiger-headed appearance, Xiujia even made a gesture to spread his hands to hug him, but fortunately, Hachisuka Jiazheng coughed and pulled Xiujia back to reality and saved Xiujia's life.

Hideka hurriedly withdrew his hands, and at almost the same time Hideyoshi turned around and said to Hideka, "Since you think that Shimadzu samurai is still useful, then don't deal with him for now.

In fact, your analysis has already been proven. After all, if the Shimadzu family’s plan to weaken the 3 koku territory of the three countries is really unacceptable, they will not choose to endure it temporarily.

It can be seen from this that even though this plan is beyond their bottom line, the distance from the bottom line is not very large. He is two months old.

At that time, after Shi Sun Qi's formation of the Kyushu Legion is completed, there is no need to pay attention to the Shimadzu family's request.It's a good job. "

"Ha Yi, it's all up to His Highness Guan Bai's strategizing so that I can understand the bottom line of the Shimadzu family." Hideyoshi belongs to the type of boss who does great feats, and as a subordinate, Hideyoshi will naturally put all his credit on Hideyoshi's head go up.

"Thanks for your hard work, this matter will end here, just leave it to Hikoemon to follow up, clean up, and set off for Echigo with me in three days." After finishing speaking, he looked at Hachisuka's housekeeping and said

"Lieutenant General Zuo Konoe has already tested the bottom line of the Shimadzu family for you, and I will leave it to you to operate it. There is no problem, Hikoemon."

"As long as the results can be obtained, all these hard work is nothing. After my resignation, I will hand over to Hachisuka-sama."

"Ha Yi, please rest assured His Highness Guan Bai, I will handle this matter well."

After Hideya and Hachisuka's housekeeping took turns to express their views, Hideyoshi waved them away.

After leaving the small door between Unicom Omotomaru and Omotomaru, Hideka let out a sigh of relief, and thanked Hachisuka's housekeeper, "I really thank you just now, Hachisuka-sama."

Hachisuka's housekeeping was also covered in cold sweat, and complained to Xiu's family, "What happened to Lieutenant General Zuo Jinwei just now, what he did just now really made me jump."

"Actually, it's nothing, I just want to hug Husong Palace." The Xiu family said with a helpless smile, "I don't know if you have heard that Husong Palace is not the parent and child of the Beizheng Office, but adopted from another side room of the harem. "

"I have indeed heard from my father about this matter, but no matter what, His Highness Husong is the only son of His Highness Guan Bai, and he is not something that the Left Center General can play with."

"Where is Master Fengsuka going?" Hearing that Fengsuka's housekeeping was wrong, the Xiu family replied with black lines: "His Royal Highness Husong's biological mother is His Royal Highness Xianfani, and she is also my biological mother, in other words His Royal Highness Hu Song and I are half brothers.

Just now seeing his younger brother coming to him for comfort, I couldn't help but want to reach out and hold him in my arms. "

After hearing what the Xiu family said, Hachisuka's housekeeper was stationed outside the Sakura Gate, and looked at the Xiu family with his mouth wide open.

This is the first time he has heard of this kind of secret. In addition to seeing the scandal between Hideyoshi and Yodohime at Oumoto Maru today, Hachisuka Housekeeper suddenly had a feeling that he knew many secrets of the master's family in one day. The feeling of being worth the fare of the day.

"

"From my point of view, the Musashi Mamoru of the Shimadzu family doesn't seem to be a good person to get along with, especially after today we are obviously suspected of being biased. Once His Highness leaves, I may not be able to sort out the relationship smoothly. Please teach me Your Highness. "Hachisuka Jiazheng came back to his senses a little bit, just like the Xiu family asked for advice.

"So you have to level the bowl of water, suppress the attitude of the Otomo family at the right time, give the benefits to the Shimadzu family, and let them feel that we really want to negotiate a peace.

In the early stage, the conflict between the two sides will be more intense, and the concessions can be slightly larger. In the later stage, every county must fight.

Once the two sides have reached a point of heated debate, you can use easing tactics, just like today, let everyone go back to rest and think about it, and postpone the discussion for a day.

After a long time, the Shimadzu family will also feel tired, and the other party will feel that the peace negotiation has been delayed for so long, so naturally they will not just give up the benefits that are already at their fingertips and leave.

In the middle, it is necessary to flexibly use sick leave, injury leave and other means to flexibly delay the time for negotiation. "

The historical experience mentioned by Xiujia is summarized from the fact that our country and the United Nations Army negotiated a peace in Panmunjom. It was a war that the United States could no longer fight, but because of their respective interests, they insisted on procrastinating on the negotiation table for more than a year and a half. Finally Still throwing it back in despair.

Although it is said that the United States had an absolutely negative image in the Korean War, the skills they used at the negotiating table can indeed be used for reference.

It's just that Hideyoshi was ordered by Hideyoshi to go to Hokuriku with him today, and all the experience can only be taught to Hachisuka's housekeeping, otherwise Hideyoshi will definitely end up comparing himself to Shimadzu's what is modern negotiation skills.

It's just that I don't know how much experience Hachisuka Housekeeping can learn from the summary in just a few sentences.

After Hachisuka's housekeeping heard Hideka's suggestion, he blurted out, "Isn't this just playing a rascal?"

Don't tell me, if you really want to get entangled in this matter, the negotiation is really a rogue.

Hideka heard that Hachisuka's housekeeping had come up with such a brilliant conclusion, and encouraged him with a childish look.

The housekeeper came back to his senses, and continued to ask the Xiu family, "Then what should I do with that Otomo warrior?"

Housekeeping didn't ask Hideka Shimadzu's samurai how to deal with it, because he knew that it would be impossible for a character who didn't even bother to name the author to get out of Osaka alive.

But he couldn't handle the samurai who was called "Xiaozaemon" by Otomo Zonglin.

After all, he asked himself that he was not a Xiu family, and the negotiation could not be delayed for half a year, and it was a miracle that it could be delayed for one or two months. After all, there had never been such a long negotiation in Japan before.

If Hideyoshi and Hideo can't come back by then, this samurai can't stay locked in Osaka City forever, he might as well ask about it while Hideo is still there.

"What is the name of that warrior?" Xiujia asked.

"It seems to be called Shiga Kiji, commonly known as Kozaemon." Before the Kazuka family reported to Hideyoshi, he went to the place where the two samurai were detained and asked for basic information about the two.

Hearing that person's surname, Hideka sighed and said, "Shiga~Okajo 3 stone master, their family has a lot of influence in Otomo's family."

The Shiga family is one of the three Otomo clans known together with the Tomo and Tahara clans, and the Shiga family can be divided into the northern and southern families.

Don't look at his Miao character is Shiga, his own mother is Otomo Zonglin's own daughter, this person can be regarded as Otomo Zonglin's grandson.

It is also very dramatic to say that this person can obtain the position of family governor at the age of 19.

At that time, after the death of Ryuzoji Takanobu, when Otomo Zonglin attacked Ryuzoji's family Maowei Castle, Shiga joined the army for the first time and met his father Shiga in person.

As a result, the loving father and filial son in the fairy tale did not appear. When Shiga saw the cross on his neck, he became furious and forced Shiga to abandon his religion, otherwise his territory would be confiscated and he would be exiled.

As a result, the incident was too disturbing, and it reached the ears of Dayou Zonglin, the retired family governor of Dayou's family.

Otomo Zonglin had already sincerely believed in Kiritan at that time, and when he heard this, he became furious and wanted to kill Shiga.

Fortunately, under the mediation of his grandfather Shiga's relatives, Shiga's relatives became secluded, and the family supervisor was transferred to Shiga's relatives, but Shiga's relatives had to give up teaching.

Who would have thought that in the end, Shiga Kiji was determined to give Chidan his heart, and in order to show his will to resist, Shiga Kiji deliberately set fire to a shrine near Okajo, and even planned to set fire to Manjuji Temple.

In the end, Otomo Zonglin shielded Shiga Kiji, who also believed in Kiritan, and just scolded him, and in the end he didn't even ask him to follow the original agreement to convert.

The Otomo family in this matter is actually very similar to the Toyotomi family in later generations. Otomo Zonglin deliberately suppressed retainers who did not believe in Kiritan, which led to a split in the internal retainer group of the Otomo family. This hidden danger has already appeared, and the Shiga family is just one of them. Just a fuse.

But this fuse almost sounded the death knell of Otomo's family.

In the 14th year of Tensho (1586), the Shimadzu family officially took action against Bungo. Yoshimi Irita, the lord of Komatsuhara Castle in Zhini County, first communicated with Yoshikunai Shimadzu and sent him a map of Bungo.

At the same time, Shiga Kanlong, the lord of Nanshan City of the Minamishiga family, Aso Showa of Kuzumachi, and Shibata Shoan, the guard of Asahidake Castle, successively spread the news that they had become the Shimadzu Army's internal staff, and even Shiga's second-in-law's father, Doyen, was in Tongjima. Jin family.

It can be said that within the entire Otomo's house, the retainers who had known Chiechidan for a long time stood up to the hostile Shimadzu's house, waving the flag for the invaders.

When the important figures of the two Shiga families in the north and the south switched to the Shimadzu family one after another, Shiga Kiji remained unmoved and guarded Oka Castle in Nakaguchi.

From October 14, Tensho 1, until Toyotomi's army entered Kyushu to rescue Otomo's house the following year, Oka Castle, which Shiga personally guarded, persisted for more than three months under the siege of Shimadzu's 3 troops.

Even after the Shimadzu family withdrew their troops, they took the initiative to chase after them and recovered 12 cities including Xiaomucheng and Ghost City. Even Yoshihiro Shimadzu marveled at it as "the upright nanmu".

Such a talented Hideo family would not touch him, so he said to Hachisuka's housekeeper, "I serve you with delicious food and drink. After all, he is a retainer of the friendly army. After all the dust settles, put him back." Bar."
