Prime Minister Bizen

Chapter 342 Prime Minister, I've Got It
Receiving Xiu's gaze, the lady lowered her head shyly, trying to avoid Xiu's gaze.

The face of the young man in front of her turned red, as if he was holding his breath, but because of the status of the Xiu family, it was not easy to have a fit.

At this time, the old man sitting in front of the three of them said, "I'm bothering His Highness, Secretary of State, at such a late hour, please forgive me, Your Highness."

"Ah? Ah!" After being reminded, Xiujia came back to his senses, remembered that his behavior just now was too rude, after apologizing to them, he observed the other two carefully.

The young man has nothing to introduce, he is about 20 years old, but the immaturity shown on his face is no less than that of Xiujia.

Ever since Xiujia saw him, he had always put on a constipated expression, as if he had suffered all kinds of grievances, but he could only swallow his anger and be forced to come here.

And beside him, the old man looked much calmer. Even though he was already very old and his temples were already gray, his heroic spirit was still clear.

Just by meeting each other, the Xiu family had already judged that this old man was the one who really held the right to speak among the three, so the Xiu family took the initiative to ask him: "I don't know what the lord's name is, why did you come to inquire today?" .”

The old man explained to the Xiu family neither humble nor overbearing, "I am the retainer of Major General Otomo, the lord of Bird Nose Castle Hashizume Kanshi. Thanks to His Highness, who came all the way from Bizen to support our family. My family is very grateful."

"Ah! Okay" After hearing the introduction, Xiujia was a little confused, and looked at Shinya Shimizu who was at the side, wanting to learn about this person from him.

But obviously Shimizu Xin didn't know the information about this person, and he glanced to the side with some guilt, deliberately avoiding Xiujia's gaze.

Fortunately, at this moment, the old man opposite seemed to see the embarrassment of the Xiu family, and continued to explain, "Your Highness may not know this name well, but I used to call it Ichimanda Jianshi."

The other party wanted to announce his more famous name so as to get in touch with Xiujia, but unfortunately Xiujia still didn't know who this person was.

Fortunately, Nobuoshi Shimizu also remembered something, and leaned into Hideo's ear and explained, "The former head of the Bungo Imanda family owned Komuri Castle and Toriyayama Castle. Let the governor of the family go to Zhenshi, the son-in-law.

In the Battle of Erchuan, he served as the commander of the palace army, and he was the adjudicator and confidant of Major General Otomo. It is not clear why he changed the name of Miao to Qiaozhuo. "

After hearing Nobuya Shimizu's introduction, the Xiu family realized who the boss in front of them was. The old man of Otomo's family, Kenshi Wantian, was able to become the judge of Otomo Zonglin. Obviously, he had a very high status in Otomo's family. But why they haven't seen each other for so many days also made Xiujia curious.

"It turned out to be Mino Mori-sama. I have heard about His Highness's heroic appearance in Bizen. During the Battle of Otogawa, His Highness served as the Palace Army, and protected Major General Otomo and the Otomo army from retreating. It is really a great contribution."

Xiujia directly used Shimizu Nobuya's introduction just now, pretending to know each other very well, and put on an expression of resentment for seeing each other, "I don't know what Mino Mamoru came to see me today? Hey! I suddenly thought of Mei It seems that Nongshou is no longer at the banquet later today, I don't know what happened, Major General Dayou asked you to deal with it?"

Hearing Hideka's response, Kenshi Ichimanda smiled, and did not expose Hideka's lies, but put on a difficult expression following Hideka's topic and said, "This... is actually some private matter that I want to Discuss with His Highness, I hope His Highness can sell the old man's face and take in the old man's nephew as a retainer."

As if seeing the doubts of the Xiu family, Kenshi Tenmanda continued to explain, "His Highness took care of Ah Chu more than a month ago. It is our honor to be able to serve a warrior like His Highness, and fortunately, Ah Chu is very lucky. conceived an heir for His Highness."

Xiujia: "!"

Shinya Shimizu: "."

The servants of the Xiu family in the hall were as shocked by the news of the intrusion as the Xiu family. Fortunately, Qing Shui Xin also had quick eyes and quick hands, and quickly made arrangements.

He directed Sanada Nobushige and Anayama Nobukun to sit outside the hall, and closed the sliding door to prevent outsiders from approaching.

After everything was over, she quietly sat next to the Xiu family, waiting for the order of the Xiu family.

And our Xiu family has already been frightened by the news of the intrusion. This is because the wife of the fucker has directly got pregnant. No wonder he came to me aggressively.

The Xiu family took a closer look at Ah Chu's stomach again, perhaps because the time was relatively short, the ups and downs of the stomach could not be seen yet.

But the Xiu family is not a fool, she has a husband, so why should she say that the baby in her stomach is my son?
Xiujia deliberated for a while and said, "This... was indeed an accident. Now that I think about it, it seems that it has been two months. I don't know if Ah Chu and the child in her belly are still healthy."

Ah Chu slowly saluted Xiu's family and replied, "Thanks to His Highness's care, I and Your Highness's children are all in good health."

Apparently Ah Chu didn't hear what Hideka meant, but the seasoned Kenshi Tenmanda saw what Hideka meant at a glance, and he explained from the side, "These days, Liulang Goro is with me in the Zhongnayan Formation Zhongzheng Fengqian, once again thank His Highness for taking care of Ah Chu."

"This is to blame myself for sleeping with the master's wife as a guest while the husband is out fighting." When Xiujia heard what he meant, it was the first and the second.But after all, I was the one who was wronged, so I could only keep cursing Otomo Zonglin in my heart for nothing, and echoed it in a very humble voice.

"He's afraid that the wife of the retainer's family is playing foolishly, and that's why he dragged me into the water." The Xiu family already wanted to eat Dayou Zonglin alive.But when things got to this point, Xiujia knew it very well.

It's very polite to come to the door in private, but I don't know what kind of plane Dayou Zonglin is doing, and even betrayed the married daughter of his retainer.

Although Otomo Zonglin has no lower limit and does not wipe the Xiu family's butt, the Xiu family still needs to save it for the sake of their future reputation.

Hideo solemnly apologized to Kenshi Ichimanda and the unknown samurai, and said that he would do his best to make supplements.

After hearing Xiujia's statement, the young samurai didn't give an answer immediately, his face was flushed, and he seemed to be engaged in some ideological struggle, but he quickly made a statement that surprised Xiujia. Jaw move.

I saw that as a victim, he bowed solemnly like the Xiu family, and said to the Xiu family, "my wife is favored by His Highness, if His Highness doesn't dislike her, please allow her to stay by His Highness's side from time to time, and take care of His Highness' daily necessities. "

Xiujia: "."

Shinya Shimizu: "!"

Now it was Qing Shuixin's turn to be startled, and Xiujia was speechless.

Even the emo in Xiujia's heart couldn't stop, "What day is it today, that I have encountered such a strange thing. It's my wife who was cheated, but I still lick my face and send my wife out, begging others to continue cheating?" "

Seeing how he sincerely contributed to his wife, the Xiu family suddenly didn't know how to express their position. Fortunately, the "expert" Kamichi Wantian once again saw the embarrassment of the Xiu family, and explained to the Xiu family from the sidelines.

He first pointed to Ah Chu and introduced, "This one is called Ah Chu, His Highness should be very familiar with it, he is the daughter of my younger sister, and his full name is Dayu Chu."

"Dayou?" Hearing this surname, Xiujia asked in surprise.

"Yes, Otomo." Kenshi Wantian seemed to have anticipated the reaction of the Xiu family, and explained very naturally, "Ah Chu is the daughter of Major General Zuo and Sister Sister."

Almost at the same time, Nobuo Shimizu also introduced in Hideo's ears, "Major General Otomo has a concubine wife who is the daughter of Imanda Takami and the sister of Imanda Kamino. At the same time, he married one of his daughters to Imanda Jianshi's legitimate son, Wantian Zhenshi, and the two families are related by marriage."

Listening to Nobuo Shimizu's explanation of their family's messy interpersonal relationship, Kenshi Izumanda continued pointing to the young man beside him and introduced, "This is the grandson of Ito Nakanogen, Ito Yoshiken, the son of Ito Yoshiyoshi. , is Ah Chu’s husband.”

Ito Zhongnayanxiu's family still knows it, referring to Ito Yoshisuke, who was originally known as a half-Kyushu figure. As early as the 6th year of Tianwen (1537), he was appointed as one of the four subordinates and worshiped the general Ashikaga Yoshiharu. The taboo was renamed "Yiyou", and in the 15th year of Tianwen (1546), he was appointed as a person who accepted words from among the three.

During the prosperous period, the Ito family owned the two countries of Hinata and Osumi, and part of Satsuma and Higo, which existed in the same family as the Shaoer and Otomo families.

It's a pity that Yoshisuke Ito is just a lost dog.

When Hideyoshi was the general of the Maori Raiders, Hideyoshi once wanted to use 50 people to support Miyan to recruit him, but he directly pushed back with "Although he is a vagabond, how can three dignified Taoists follow Hashiba Hideyoshi".

Who would have imagined that Feng Shui will turn around, and now Hideyoshi is a Guanbai, and has become an existence that surpasses him in terms of identity. It is also because Hideyoshi likes to hate others that he can no longer find anyone who can become an official. Wandered and died in 1584.

Around the time of Yongroku, when the Ito family was at its most powerful, Ito Yoshisuke abdicated. Because the eldest son Kantoramaru died early, the second son Ito Yoshisuke was appointed as the governor of the family, and his father Yoshisuke was the hindsight.

Although Ito Yoshisuke is not in the same grade, he has a higher reputation than his father because of his outstanding intelligence and bravery, coupled with his gentle personality.After succeeding as the governor of the family, he continued to live in Duyu County as the master, and practiced dual politics with Yoshisuke in Satuhara Castle.

但是天不假年，其在永禄12年7月11日（1569年8月23日），在都于郡的岩崎稻荷参笼期间，因突发急病去世。

The sudden death of the hard-working heir also hit Yoshisuke Ito deeply, causing him to lose his original determination, which in turn led to the decline of the Ito family.

After the death of Ito Yoshisuke, Ito Yoshisuke originally had a more suitable candidate, that is, his third son, Ito Yubing, who could be cultivated, but he made the same choice as Emperor Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty, and forcibly registered the 5-year-old Yiyi's youngest son Chenghumaru (also known as Yixian) is the family governor.

Everyone knows what happened later. The rise of the Shimadzu family defeated the Ito family. Yoshisuke Ito had to go to Otomo's house to seek shelter.

Later, due to some reasons, he had an unpleasant quarrel with Otomo Zonglin, so he chose to leave.

But perhaps it was because Otomo Zonglin needed an Ito card to influence Hinata, so he forcibly left the governor of the Ito family, Ito Yoshin who was in Yuanfu in advance, and married his daughter Achu to him.

Thinking of this, the Wanwan Daoxiu family among them has gradually figured it out, and finally understands the ins and outs of this situation.

The Otomo family kept Ito Yoshiken, and the original idea must have been to influence Hinata through him, but with the decline of the Otomo family, it was no longer able to influence the future, and the Ito family's card had become tasteless.

So Otomo Zonglin pretended to be clever and wanted to kill two birds with one stone. While getting rid of the burden of the Yito family, he used his daughter to draw in the relationship with the Xiu family.

But there are two problems, one is Hideyoshi's identity, and the other is Hideyoshi's decree.

Firstly, it is easy to understand how the Hide family, as the Bizen Million Stone Daimyo and the top few overlords in the world, could casually accept a second-married woman.

The second is also easy to understand. Since Hideyoshi ascended the throne, Guanbai has strictly prohibited the marriage of famous families, and all marriages must be carried out through him. Fujihime of the Tsutsui family caught up with the last train of the policy and married at the last moment. came in.

But Otomo Zonglin knew Xiujia too late, and it was too late to get in the car, so what should he do?

So Otomo Zonglin came up with such a clever way to avoid Hideyoshi's supervision by using the identity of Ahatsu Itō Yoshiken's wife, and stuffed her into Hideyoshi's room.At the same time, it can also shake off the burden of the Ito family.

Judging from Yoshihide Ito's attitude, he should be the one who was notified last, and it is obvious that he is still sitting and fighting ideologically.

I don't know what ecstasy soup Otomo Zonglin poured into him, so that he could swallow his anger and admit it, but judging from the attitude of Kenshi Tenmanda, he probably promised him that he would help him restore the family name of the Ito family. Something like that.

For these samurai who were born in a big family but fell into poverty, the sense of mission to revive the family will follow them all their lives and become the top priority of their life goals.

Now it seems that Otomo's family can't take care of themselves, while Toyotomi's family is in the limelight, and Hideo's family is one of the most powerful people in Toyotomi's family.

On the premise that his grandfather hated Hideyoshi, he could only find another way and find a way out from the Hideyoshi family.

Although this person seems to be willing to give everything in order to revive his family name, in fact, judging from his statement, it is obvious that he does not understand the political relationship in it.

Such a person is the scariest. It is very likely that he will directly choose to blew himself up because the conditions he got are not satisfactory. By the way, he will bring the Xiu family and Otomo's family into the water.

Hideie, who had figured everything out, asked him concisely, "Rokuro Goro, you must really want to restore the former glory of the Ito family."

Sure enough, when he heard "Fuxing the name of the family", he looked at Xiujia excitedly, and Xiujia even saw the light in his eyes.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

After receiving a positive answer, Xiujia continued to decide to continue brainwashing him, "Then follow me, but my family has strict laws and regulations. I will first set aside 3000 shi from my private side to arrange for you. You follow Shimizu Nobuya and now serve in the team to learn." , I will not hesitate to reward you when you have made new achievements, and the restoration of your name and status is just around the corner."

Now that the Xiu family has something in his hands, he naturally has to coax him well, but in order to prevent him from running around, he is arranged next to Shinya Shimizu, and Shinya Shimizu also helps to guard him.

As for the name, how could it be given to him?The Xiu family is just looking at the sake of the child in their womb. If a boy is born in the future, it will be inherited as another branch of the family.

But Ito Yoshin didn't know, he had been brainwashed by Otomo's family long ago, and he was fooled by Xiu's family. Everyone doesn't know who is on the wrong side.

So just like that, Ito Yoshiken and Ah Chu were arranged to live next to the Xiu family as guests of the Xiu family, and Kanshi Kazumanda saw that the matter was successfully concluded, and planned to say goodbye to the Xiu family.

Before he left, the Xiu family entrusted him with "kind regards" to Dayou Zonglin.

The Hide family originally set a flag to never touch wives again, but the days of waiting for Hideyoshi and Hideonaga are really boring, and Achu who is married to Guanghui is too tempting, and after only holding back for two days, he kissed me again Get up, of course with your mouth.

It wasn't until that moment that Xiujia understood the pleasure of Dayou Zonglin and Prime Minister Cao.

Prime Minister, I understand!
