Prime Minister Bizen

Chapter 323 Xiu Chang Visits Xiu's House

Xiuchang followed the topic just now and continued: "Brother originally wanted me to leave early, but didn't he hear that you came back, so he thought of sending you there."

Although Hideyoshi initially established his own ruling class, his ruling foundation was established based on the organizational structure of the Oda family.

Many of Hideyoshi's retainers were once sent by Nobunaga to his side. It is really not easy to subdue Kanbei Kuroda in terms of prestige and status.

Hideie calculated that now Hideyoshi's subordinates could calmly command the existence of Kanbei Kuroda, besides himself and Hidecho, Hachisuka Masakatsu and Maeda Toshiie were the only ones.

The former has retired for retirement, and exists as Hideyoshi's aide. Hachisuka's family business has been given to his son, and he has lost the legitimacy to command Kuroda Kanbei.

The latter is far away in Hokuriku, and he is an important general guarding the frontiers. He has just suffered a disaster in his territory, so how could he be sent to Kyushu?

Thinking about it, don't look at the current Toyotomi family is already the existence of King's Landing, but there are still many problems in the organizational structure.When you want to employ people, you can count the number of veterans.

Before the Xiu family agreed to the previous topic, Xiu Zhang continued to say, "There is one more thing, that is, my brother has agreed to transfer me from Hokuriku, and the territories of Mino, Omi and I who stayed in the past few months Ise Three Kingdoms.

I heard that you have been carrying out water conservancy projects in Meinong these few months. I just wanted to ask you about the situation in Meinong. My brother also had the same intention, so I simply asked the attendants to come out and tell you to go in. "

Xiujia looked at Xiuchang and responded with a smile, "Then I will congratulate my uncle here first. Haier is in Mino, and is mainly responsible for the repair of the Nagara River, the upper reaches of the Ibi River, and the Kiso River waterway. By the way, he also repaired the Zhongshan Road. , This also facilitates the connection between Kinki and Dongguo.

Most of the projects were finally completed before the rainy season. Before returning home, Hai'er specially inspected the effects of the projects in various places. The water storage effect of the dams is good, and the dams are quite solid.

If my uncle transfers the title to Meinong, he can dig branch canals along the banks of the main river that I have repaired to facilitate irrigation. I believe that with my uncle's talent, the land of Meinong will definitely become a fertile soil. It is no longer a problem to know how to go to the next level. . "

Xiuchang seemed to be very pleased with Xiu's flattery, and said with a smile, "Really? Then I must take a good look at your masterpiece when I arrive in Mino. If this year's harvest is really better than previous years, I will definitely thank you very much." .”

The topic of the two fell into a brief silence, and Hideaga suddenly said, "Do you know how Oda Sansakuro (the envelope) talked about you in front of his brother?"

When Xiujia heard the name of Oda Xinbao, his movements paused for a moment, thinking that it was indeed a small report from this old man, but he pretended to be calm and asked, "Oh? Did Master Oda comment on me? I would like to hear It's detailed."

Hearing Xiu's family asking about this matter, Xiu Chang said flatly, "Arrogant and domineering, wantonly bullying other warriors."

Hearing Oda Xinbao's comment, Xiujia stopped making tea, looked up at Xiuchang's expression, and found that he was looking at him with a smile.

Hideka avoided Hideonaga's sight, continued to tinker with the tea in the pot, and said with his mouth, "Really, am I such an existence in Oda-sama's eyes?"

Hideunaga took a deep breath and continued, "But guess what, Tokugawa Nagano was there when Sansanmaru sued you, and he refuted his evaluation in person, and said that you handled it well in Mino, saying yes You have the talent for governing the country."

"?" Xiujia suddenly raised his head to look at Xiuchang, and asked in surprise, "Is Junfu really saying that about me?"

Xiuchang nodded Xiujia with his hand, and laughed loudly, "Your expression is exactly the same as that of Sansanlang. I am really curious about what happened between you and Lord Tokugawa in Mino, and you are all so surprised by his evaluation."

"It's nothing, it's just that Zhong Nayan and his party were rescued from the mountain." Xiujia replied hesitantly.

Hideo would of course be surprised by Tokugawa Ieyasu's answer. After all, he strictly restricted the actions of Tokugawa and his party at the beginning, and because of this, he and Tokugawa Ieyasu had a very unpleasant quarrel.

When saying goodbye, Hideo clearly saw Tokugawa Ieyasu chatting happily with Oda Xinbao, and told himself that he would sue Hideyoshi, so why did he turn around and sell his teammates?

In fact, Tokugawa Ieyasu is very smart, and he showed his attitude by speaking harshly to Hideka, but he would never directly confront a million-dollar daimyo unless he had an absolute advantage in strength.

Besides, both of them are now Hideyoshi's retainers in name. For the sake of a so-called face, he would never do it if he publicly quarreled with another powerful faction in the family, and then was used as a gun.

From this point of view, it is understandable for him to abandon the Oda envelope directly, and even use him as a stepping stone to ease the relationship with the Xiu family.

Wanting to understand this, the Xiu family raised his head and cut off Xiu Zhang, and asked him, "Then what does Father say?"

"Of course my brother reprimanded Thirty Lang. Later, there were rumors in the family that it was because his territory was selected as a flood discharge area, so he chose to avenge himself publicly.

The elder brother wanted to deprive him of all his abilities for the crime of provoking important ministers, but finally, under Yodohime's persuasion, he changed the title of Yamato 6500 stones for resettlement because of his brother's relationship with the right mansion. "

Hideka nodded and said, "No wonder I heard the news that Oda-sama moved from Kamo Castle in early April."

Hideo, who is familiar with historical stories, knows very well that if Hideyoshi really believes in him, there is no need to send someone to tell him the story, and he can just deal with the Oda envelope severely.

It seems that the Oda envelope was disposed of like now, but he kept a hand.After all, such a serious crime as provoking important ministers can hardly be mitigated even by harakiri, how can it be passed by holding it up high and putting it down lightly.

But Hideyoshi is also very clear that the Hideo family is absolutely untouchable. After all, the Hideo family is his publicly adopted son and his most important help. Some people even rumored that half of his own world was brought down by the Hideo family, which is enough to see that the Hideo family The prestige of the family in Toyotomi's house.

At this moment, Xiujia already felt a deep sense of crisis, and Hideyoshi's attitude was very similar to that before Yongzheng dealt with Nian Gengyao.

The Xiu family in the previous life would watch TV dramas and watch this place, and they would all praise Yongzheng's foresight and despise Nian Gengyao's arrogance. I always thought that if I traveled back, I would never fail like Nian Gengyao did, and I would definitely hide my edge and refuse. The performance is too bright.

But when he became the "bad guy" in the TV series, Xiujia realized that the truth is not as simple as he imagined.I usually treat people very low-key and peaceful, and never have the iconic behavior of "bad guys" in TV dramas.

Even I have always thought that I am a marked good guy script.

But no matter how respectful Hideyoshi is, Hideyoshi still cares about her.To put it bluntly, one's own geographical location determines one's own situation.

Let me ask, would the emperors of the Ming and Qing Dynasties allow a feudal king with tens of thousands of troops to exist in Shanxi or Northeast China?
Xiujia kept staring at Xiuchang, feeling a lot of grievances in his heart and didn't know how to express it, "Uncle, I don't think I am the existence that Oda-sama said, if you don't believe me, you can ask other famous masters in Mino, I will treat them how?"

Xiuchang stretched out his hand and made a gesture of pressing down. In his mouth, he said words that relieved Xiujia's emotions, "I believe, I believe, I watched you grow up, what kind of person are you, would I not believe it?"

But Xiuchang immediately looked at Xiujia with a cold face and said, "Do you still remember what I said to you outside the Owari Shogunate two years ago?"

What Hidecho was referring to was that when Hideyo came to the front line of the Nobi Battle alone from Omi, and handed over the plan of the Mikawa surprise attack to Hideyoshi, Hidecho persuaded himself not to show too much.

Xiujia replied affirmatively: "Of course I remember, the conversation that night, I can still hear it even today."

"Since you remember, how do you think you have done in the past two years, and how much has your knowledge and practice improved?" Xiu Zhang frowned and scolded. Driven out from Okayama?"

The Xiu family said strangely, "Great Monk? Do you mean Master Maeda Xuanyi? It was definitely not Haier's handwriting. Haier even saved him and sent him out of the city. This is how the Great Monk explained things after he returned to Osaka. ?"

"It doesn't matter whether you say that, what matters is how you do it." Hearing the Xiu family's defense, Xiu Zhang said angrily, "Every family has something to hide from the fields. Why do they make things so ugly? Why didn't you explain the ins and outs to your brother afterwards?"

Xiujia wishes, after finishing the family affairs that day, he rushed back to Osaka immediately.

Unexpectedly, when Tsurumong was born, Hideyoshi lost his mind and politics. He stayed in the tea room all day long. He submitted several requests for interviews but was not answered. Later, Hideyoshi sent someone to inform him to go to Mino to take up the post. How can you blame yourself for this.

The Xiu family is completely confused now, if they give themselves a chance, should they go or not?
Xiujia explained to Xiuchang, Xiuchang listened to Xiujia's explanation and sighed, Xiujia thought it was because he understood Hideyoshi's difficulties, but Xiuchang's expression changed and he scolded Xiujia
"Hachiro, Hachiro, don't think that you are both civil and military at a young age. This Toyotomi family cannot operate without you. I think you are dizzy and blinded by interests. You must know that you are not Toyotomi The owner of the house!"

Xiu Chang's stern reprimand made the Xiu family realize the seriousness of the situation. Today's topic can only be considered as getting to the point. The previous content is all paving the way for this moment.

Xiujia knows that although Xiuchang is very strict with him at the moment, he is sincerely kind to him. On the other hand, the "father" who started to play superficial politics with him is the existence that he should be most careful about.

Does Hideyoshi love Hideyoshi?

The answer must be affirmative. Historically, Hideyoshi forced the Hideo family to be the top five, and even stated the condition that all the issues of the five big men must be approved by the Hideo family. This is equivalent to giving the Hideo family a veto right in history. , which shows the trust in it.

But the premise of these trusts is that Hideyoshi has an absolute understanding of Hideyoshi and has absolute control over Hideyoshi. Hideyoshi is not afraid of Hideyoshi's rebellion.

On the contrary, Xiujia is the existence that Hideyoshi is the easiest to control among the five big men.

But the present world is different. This young Hideo has indeed given Hideyoshi a lot of surprises in the past, but in the world there is only stability. Can't control it.

Although his relationship with the Xiu family is still nominally that of father and son, it has been alienated to the level of a foreign daimyo's bondage relationship.

Recall that the Hideo family used to call Hideyoshi "His Royal Highness Kanbai" instead of "Father". In fact, the change of Hideo's attitude towards Hideyoshi can be seen from the address.

Compared with the other four bigwigs in history, Hideka's position is undoubtedly the closest to Hideyoshi, and the power is also the strongest. How can such an imbalance not make Hideyoshi uneasy.

And Hideyoshi's handling of the two matters of Maeda Genichi and Oda Letter Pack undoubtedly gave Hideyoshi a very bad impression.

People always tend to believe what they want to believe. If Hideyoshi had thought about Hideyoshi before, the complaint of these two people will undoubtedly make him more suspicious of Hideyoshi.

To put it bluntly, most of Hideyoshi's recent insomnia is due to Hideyoshi.

The Xiu family's wishes are only known to themselves, first of all, under their embellished portrayal of their own image, they can vividly look like a "treacherous official" image of a villain.

But why was Nian Gengyao in history not so wronged?
History is written by the victors, not to mention that the emperors of the Qing Dynasty liked the records of the official historians the most. So is there any embellished description of Nian Gengyao in history?

It was only at this moment that Xiujia really felt a sense of powerlessness and frustration.

The Xiu family said with some helplessness: "Understood, tomorrow when my father calls me, I will confess my mistake to him, and then return to Okayama by claiming to be ill and not bother about these things."

This is the statement of the Xiu family, but as soon as the statement was made, the leader Xiu who was sitting opposite him slapped his forehead, "You idiot, if you don't go to Kyushu, do you want me to go all the way? I'm a former soldier General!

Another point, if you show your resistance, do you want to be more obvious, how will your elder brother think of you?
'Oh~ Sure enough, I guessed it right, Hachiro is so rebellious, he hides and sees no one when he gets a little frustrated? 'Do you want your brother to miss you like this? "

Xiujia's thoughts were in a mess at this time, and he said to Xiuchang, "Then what should I do? I went to Kyushu and hung up my job, so why would the clumsiness you reminded me pale in comparison?"

"You can call it sick if you want, but wait until Kyushu to call you sick, anyway, what my brother wants is just a nominal general on the head of Kuroda Guanbingwei.

When you go, you will naturally share his credit, but as long as you don't do anything and make no great contributions, the final arrangement is easy to talk about.

Now I'm afraid that your brain will get hot, and you will go up to lead the army to fight again. If there is such a time, just think about it, are there any neighboring countries around you that can give you?How about giving you all Iyo?How about giving you all the four countries?
Hachiro, give the Toyotomi family some opportunities to show off, it will be good for you and others. "

Seeing that Xiu's family fell silent, Xiu Zhang continued, "I've already thought about it, and after Kyushu's evaluation, I will suggest to my brother to transfer you to Kyushu.

Although it is far away, it is the best choice at the moment.When you arrive in Kyushu, do whatever you want! "
