Prime Minister Bizen

Chapter 356 My son, I want to serve wine with your head!

Xiujia tried his best to persuade Toyotomi Hideaga, but he seemed to deliberately avoid this question, and instead asked Xiujia, "By the way, in the palace today, what do you think about Qiuyue Zhongshi?"

"I still insist on my point of view." Xiujia responded.

Xiuchang nodded when he heard this, curled his lips and said, "Is it so serious? He did think about it to survive, but brother is still relatively sober. He didn't fall for a woman after he was admitted into the house." Eyes."

"That's not what I meant." Xiujia shook his head, denying Xiuchang's point of view.

Of course he knows that Hideyoshi is an extremely powerful person, it is impossible to forgive you just because he took your daughter in, and he will change in the end, Hideyoshi is so realistic.

But the problem now is not this, but Long Zi, this woman is not ordinary!

"Uncle, have you ever had an impression of Shiroi Hitachisuke?"

Xiuchang squinted his eyes and thought hard for a while and replied, "Are you talking about Chengjing Town House, the lord of Chengjing Gucheng?"

Xiujia nodded, and told the whole story about Longzi being the daughter-in-law of Chengjing Town House.

After hearing Xiujia's talk about the relationship between Ryuko and Shiroi Chaobo, Xiuchang said in surprise, "What? Is what you said true? How did you know this?"

"Didn't Uncle forget that I surrendered a lot of rich families in Chikuzen a few days ago? Many of them were former allies of the Qiuyue family. There have been many secrets about the marriage of the two families in Chikuzen Fengqian. Muneshige Tachibana also knows about it."

The Xiu family never targeted without purpose, so when the Xiu family told the origin of the dragon son, Xiu Chang already believed it a little, and the reason why he wanted to ask the Xiu family was that it was too shocking.

If Hideyoshi's words are true, since the Shiroi family has surrendered and been incorporated into Hideyoshi's Kitakyushu Army, Hideyoshi is tantamount to sleeping with his daimyo's wife during the war.

If this matter gets out, the damage to Hideyoshi's reputation will be small, and it is very likely that the morale of the army will be lost!
"Boom!" After hearing that there were witnesses around the Xiu family, he had completely believed the Xiu family's words, and he clenched his right fist and slammed it on the floor, cursing, "Old man Qiuyue will die in a bad way, my stomach is full of bad intentions, hateful, Damn, deserve to be killed!"

Immediately pointing to Xiu's family, he asked, "Since you know about this, why didn't you directly reveal it in the hall?"

Xiuchang was implicated in the Xiu family because of a rush of anger, but the Xiu family was suddenly pointed out by Xiu Zhang and also wrote a note, and replied awkwardly, "Although I noticed it in the palace, I was not sure what my father thought. Uncle just talked about it.

Besides, the relationship between Ryuko and Shiroi Chaobo was only known to me after I asked Tachibana Muneshige, and I didn't know about it in the palace, which was consistent with my uncle's mentality just now. "

After calming down, Xiuchang also knew that he could not blame the Xiu family for this matter, but could only blame Hideyoshi for being too free-wheeling, and he didn't even look at what time it was, because he was being caught.

If it is said that when Hideya told him about the danger of Hyuga's surprise attack, he could calm down a little and prepare to report to Hideyoshi tomorrow, now that Hidecho, after knowing Ryuko's identity, can't sit still anymore, "噗" He stood up from his position at once, and walked outside in big strides.

Seeing that Xiujia was still sitting in the room, he turned to Xiujia and said, "Let's go!"

"Let's go? Where are you going?" Xiujia asked in a little confusion.

"Where else can I go? Of course it's Brother Honmaru's place!" After saying that, he no longer cared about Xiu's house, and walked outside in the first place, ignoring even his retainers calling for him along the way.

To be honest, this is the first time that Xiu's family has seen Xiu Chang's hot-tempered face. In the past, Xiu Chang always gave Xiu's family the feeling of a Confucian general.

The two rushed outside the Honmaru Palace and sent someone to report that Hideyoshi had something to do. The first time a soldier came out to report to Hideyoshi, "His Highness Guanbai has rested. Come back tomorrow."

The show leader was still relentless, grabbed his collar and said, "Go and tell brother again, Koichiro is in a hurry to find him, I want to see him no matter what!" Push it to the ground.

It was also the first time that warrior saw such a big fire from Xiu Changsheng, and he also understood the destructive nature of the matter, so he ran back to report.

This time it was Ito Nagami who came out again, he bowed to Hideonaga and the Hide family, and invited them in.

Even though he was leading the way, Ito Nagami still could tell from Hideonaga's expression and pace that this lord was in a bad mood at the moment.

The two were kept in a side room and waited for a while. Hideyoshi walked over with disheveled hair in underwear. As soon as he came in, he joked to Hideyoshi, "Xiaozhu, what's the matter with you? You came to me so late, didn't you?" Tomorrow's expedition makes you so nervous that you can't sleep, come and tell me?"

"Brother, please be serious." Seeing Hideyoshi's playful smile, Hideyoshi said to him with a serious face, "Excuse me, brother, where are the dragon seeds that Qiuyue planted today?"

Hearing Xiuchang asking about Ryuko's situation, Hideyoshi also had a confused expression on his face, and began to look carelessly at Xiuchang and said, "How do I know where she is? As a hostage, it is naturally at the place where the hostage is changed. This kind of small You shouldn't be asking your assistant (Kagiri Kamoto) about things, why are you asking me instead?"

Seeing Hideyoshi deliberately avoiding the topic, Hideonaga saw Hideyoshi's guilty conscience at a glance, and asked Hideyoshi, "Is she in your room at the moment?"

Hearing that he directly revealed his old background, Hideyoshi was also angry, and suddenly lost his temper at Hidecho, "Pay attention to your identity Koichiro! Do I have to report to you even if I sleep with any woman?"

Perhaps because he deliberately glared at Hidecho in order to cover up his scandal, Hideyoshi even called Hidecho from "Xiaozhu" in private to "Koichiro" by Hidecho.

But Xiuchang was still not afraid of Hideyoshi's angry eyes, and said to him, "Brother, do you know that Ryuko is not only the daughter of Qiuyue Zhongshi, but also the main wife of Shiroi Chaofang."

"So what, Hachiro's mother was once Bizen Dazai's wife." Hearing Hideonaga's question, Hideyoshi responded with concern.

"Who is Shiroi Chaobo? I have never heard of it." Hideyoshi grumbled in his heart, "Hideyoshi is the main room of Shiroi Chaobo, isn't the main room of Ukita Nao's family also in my yard now?"

Hearing that Hideyoshi was related to Hideyoshi's mother, Hideonaga glanced at Hideyoshi, and whispered to Hideyoshi, "Brother, why are you talking so nonsense."

In the past, the Xiu family was young and didn't understand the relationship between men and women, so they just talked about it. Now that the Xiu family is grown up, it's really not good for Hideyoshi to talk about it.

Hideyoshi also seemed to be aware of something inappropriate, and looked at Hideyoshi with slightly apologetic eyes, wanting to explain.

But the Xiu family didn't care about it and said, "It's okay, my uncle. It is because of my father that my family is here today. I will remember my father's kindness for the rest of my life."

Hearing Hideka's reply, Hideyoshi immediately changed his demeanor again, switching back to the haughty look just now and looking at Hidecho, which clearly told him, "Look, Hachiro didn't object, what's your name?"

Seeing that Hideyoshi hadn't realized the seriousness of the matter, Xiuchang sighed and told Hideyoshi everything, "Longzi is different from Xianfani. Ryuko's husband is not dead yet, and he is working under his brother's command. It is Buzen The daughter-in-law of Chengjing Zhenfang, the lord of Chengjing Gucheng in the 3rd counties of the East and Chengjing Valley!"

Speaking of this, Xiuchang paused for a moment, gave Hideyoshi a reaction time, and then said word by word, "Brother! You must not do anything wrong with your subordinate's wife during the war!"

"Brush~" Hearing Hideonaga's answer, Hideyoshi felt sober as if cold water had been poured all over his body, and his forehead even started to sweat.

Although he came from a humble background, Hideyoshi, who has come all the way from the bottom, naturally knows the seriousness of this matter. If it is normal, it is fine, but now it is in wartime. A little carelessness will end in the end of the army and the country.

Seeing that Hideyoshi was in a daze and did not respond for a long time, Hideyoshi also became anxious, and repeatedly asked Ryuko where he was now, and whether Hideyoshi had slept with him.

Man, Hideyoshi must have fallen asleep, otherwise he wouldn't have come with only a suit of underwear and disheveled hair.

But Hideyoshi definitely can't admit it!

"Ah... that!" Hideyoshi, whose brain was half shut down, was desperately looking for straws, when suddenly he saw Hayami Shouku waiting outside the door and said to him, "Young master, go find your assistant." (Katagiri Kamoto), ask him where Ryuko is now, and bring him here."

"Yes." After listening to the whole process outside the house, Hayami Shouku naturally understood the whole process of the matter. He knew in his heart that the matter could be big or small. But don't go wrong.

After Hayami Shoujiu left, Hideyoshi picked up a cup of tea in embarrassment and took a sip and said embarrassingly, "The repair doctor (Akizuki Zhongmi) is also true, and he didn't make it clear, you almost made such a big oolong. "

In the eyes of Hideyoshi, Hideyoshi tried his best to deny Hideyoshi's performance just now, but the facts have already been confirmed in his heart.

Although he had come in a hurry, he was still a step late, and Xiuchang was somewhat discouraged.

But the matter has come to this point, so there is nothing wrong with it, he can only find a way to make up for the current problem.

"Father, haven't you noticed that Qiuyue Zhongshi has no good intentions? You don't know the relationship between Longzi and the Chengjing family, and you and the Chengjing family. Doesn't Qiuyue Zhongshi not understand?
A few months ago, after the Chengjing family turned back to the original family, Longzi was the Guchu city that he personally took back!

In a big way, Qiuyue Zhongshi has no good intentions for this old tortoise. Maybe he is deliberately angering Shiroi Chaofang and alienating the relationship between the Shiroi family and the main family.

In case the crusade against Kyushu does not go well, he, a native of Kyushu, may just have the opportunity to fish in troubled waters and make a fortune again.Father, do you still remember the story of Dong Zhuo, Diao Chan and Lu Bu in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms? "

The novel "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was written in the early Ming Dynasty and spread to surrounding countries in the middle and late Ming Dynasty. La Liga was also bought from the Ming merchants and dedicated to Hideyoshi and Hideaga.

After the two brothers got it, they couldn't put it down, thinking that Liu Bei in the book is simply Hideyoshi himself, who started a business in the middle age and now has created the next big world.

Therefore, the two of them also have some understanding of the characters and stories in the Three Kingdoms. After hearing Xiujia use the Romance of the Three Kingdoms as a metaphor, Hideyoshi and Xiuchang's faces became gloomy.

"Of course, my father is Liu Bei from Japan, and Dong Zhuo's passion and ability can't be compared to that of Dong Zhuo, but I can't stand "Wang Yun" with bad intentions, which can cause conspiracy and tricks to disrupt the court."

Hideyoshi's words are basically a death sentence for Qiuyue Zhongshi. Now as long as the truth of what the Xiu family said about Ryuko is confirmed, Qiuyue Zhongshi will not be able to escape.

Soon, Ryuko was brought over neatly dressed, Katagiri Kamoto and Hayami Shoujiu dismissed the surrounding guards, and personally guarded the door to prevent the conversation of the four people in the room from leaking out.

Seeing Ryuko being brought over, Hideyoshi was no longer in the good mood just now, and asked him with a serious face, "I ask you, have you promised someone? Who is your husband?"

Ryuko didn't understand why Hideyoshi, who was still tender with him just now, suddenly changed his face, questioning himself as if he was going to kill him, but he still replied cautiously, "I promised it to the son of the Shiroi family, but at the beginning When they switched to His Royal Highness Guan Bai, they sent me back to my natal family in order to show that they broke up with my father."

"Have you ever written a letter of divorce?" Xiuchang asked from the side.

Long Zi replied frankly, "This has never happened before."

In fact, Xiuchang asked this question for nothing, and the rich people spent too much money just to survive.

The Shiroi family just jumped on the Toyotomi family's boat temporarily, and they would never know where the ship was heading, so they naturally wanted to leave a way out for themselves.

Therefore, the most common way is to send people back without writing formal divorce papers.

In this way, if Hideyoshi becomes powerful later, and the Qiuyue family sees that the situation is not good and joins them, then the two families are still relatives, and they can help each other in Fengqian, and whoever transfers the title to be the lord is worthy of him.

And if something happens to Hideyoshi, and the Toyotomi family's Kyushu conquest is aborted, they can also jump back to the Shimadzu family and fight against the Otomo family again with Akizuki Tanomi.

After hearing Ryuko's answer, Hidecho, Hideyoshi, and Hideka all closed their eyes in pain.

This matter is difficult!
Ryuko was invited out, and after repeated discussions among the three, they finally decided to conceal the fact that Hideyoshi had slept with Ryuko, declaring that Ryuko was a hostage offered to Hideyoshi by Qiuyue Zhongshi, and Hideyoshi heard that she was cute and adopted her as an adopted daughter.

At the end of the Kyushu War, he would accidentally hear about her "love" with Shiroi Chaobo, so he handed Ryuko to the Shiroi family, and also made up the dowry of his adoptive father.Of course, these are things for later.

At this stage, after Ryuko went out, Hideyoshi's anger could no longer be suppressed, and he threw the tea saucer in his hand on the ground with a "bang", and cursed angrily, "My son, I want to use your head to hold wine!" !"
