Prime Minister Bizen

Chapter 383
"Never overestimate that a king's secret can be kept in a capital city."

During the Warring States period in Japan, the lord did not transfer the title without warning, and he would definitely discuss with the retainers he wanted to transfer before the transfer.

Therefore, after the award to Kyushu is confirmed, Hideyoshi will discuss with each family to determine the final transfer plan.

Of course, although the final draft has not yet come out, it is not much different from the version that Hideyoshi discussed with Hideyoshi last time, so some lords have already known that they are about to transfer the seal during this period.

For example, on the first day the Xiu family came to Osaka from Shishan, they met some daimyos who came to visit, and they wanted to obtain relatively certain news from the Xiu family.

Of course, what's more, he asked Xiujia what he was doing in Sanuki a few days ago, and actually wanted to seal the whole Sanuki.

Hideyoshi called Hideyoshi from Shishan City in advance. In Hideyoshi's eyes, he is still a "criminal", and he is still dressed in flirtatious clothes. How could he meet some insignificant people at such a critical moment.

After all, Sanuki is not far from Osaka, and Hideyoshi attaches great importance to the situation of Sanuki's mobilization of troops. After hearing that Hideka has arrived in Osaka, and after listening to Katagiri's report, Hideyoshi immediately summoned Hideyoshi.

In front of Hideyoshi, Hideyo told Hideyoshi what he said with Katagiri Kasumimoto in Ishiyama Castle that day, and what he did to the Samukawa family on the way.

There is nothing to hide about this, after all, Katagiri and Kamoto are all around, so I must have already reported it once.

After listening to Hideo's narration again, Hideyoshi took the initiative to ask Hideo, "It is true that the Hanchuan family's mobilization of troops in Sanuki violated the So-no-nonsense Order, and it is appropriate to punish them as a punishment, but why did you send the three of them together with the subordinates?" Why do all the samurai demand seppuku?"

"If they simply set off a rebellion, I might not be so angry. But in fact, Mitsutoshi Samukawa hopes to use his father's order to do nothing as a threat to force me to accept their conditions.

As the head of the family, although I feel embarrassed by the coercion of my subordinates, what makes me even more unacceptable is that someone is using your father's order of "nothing to do" for their own personal gain!
If the child backs down today, this matter will inevitably spread. In this way, the rebellious officials in the world will follow suit, and the order of nothing will become a tool for those who care about it. It is to discredit my father. This is the reason why I severely punished them what. "

Hideyoshi's impassioned speech, coupled with his emotional performance, convinced Hideyoshi that Hideyoshi was really thinking from his point of view.

It wasn't until this moment that he realized how bad the Samukawa family was acting, and said to Hayami Shouku, the leader of the apprenticeship class who was waiting outside, "Katsuta, you send someone to Awaji to pass the order, so that Sun Liu (Kato Yoshiaki) and Jinnai (Wakisaka Yasuji) two I went to Sanuki to urge the members of the Samukawa family to cut seppuku, and then brought back the head of the rebellious minister and hung it outside the Tenman Bridge to warn the daimyo samurai who came and went.”

Hayami, who had received the order from "Hai", lowered his head in agreement, turned around and retreated.

After Hayami Shoujiu left, Hideyoshi quickly changed his face again, walked to Hideo's side, took his hand and said affectionately, "The happiest thing in my life is to have a son like you who behaves in every way. For my sake."

As he spoke, he touched the little finger of Xiujia's right hand that he cut off himself, stroked the wooden prosthesis made by Xiujia, and said distressedly, "Does it still hurt?"

Facing Hideyoshi's question, Hideyoshi smiled and replied, "I don't feel anything on weekdays, but when it's windy and rainy, the cut will itch."

"Hey" Hearing Xiu's answer, Hideyoshi sighed and said slowly, "Why did you say that our father and son are here. If it wasn't because of a villain who provoked us, and the distance between you and me is too far, so that communication is impossible. Chang, it won't make you lose a hand."

Speaking of which, Hideyoshi looked up at Hideo and said, "Don't worry, I have already punished those who alienated you and my father. I plan to send him to Kyushu, as far as possible." Far, I am most annoyed by these gossiping people around me."

Hideyoshi did not express any opinion on Hideyoshi’s handling of the Oda letter package Hideo. At this time, expressing agreement will make Hideyoshi feel that Hideyoshi is cautious. answer.

Hideyoshi saw that Hideka didn't speak, smiled awkwardly and said, "What's going on, you won't hate father because of this, right?"

Hearing Hideyoshi asking himself this, Xiujia hurriedly said: "It's nothing, Father, if the child hates you, he won't work so hard in Kyushu, but it's really not good for me to deal with the Oda envelope. Make a statement, everything can only be judged by the Holy Spirit."

"Hahaha" Hideyoshi laughed when he heard the explanation from Hideo, turned around and sat back to his seat, and continued, "If you want me to say that the reason why there is such a conflict between us, it is all because Shishan Castle is too far away from Osaka. It’s far away, the communication between you and my father and son is really the same. If I want to say it’s not as good as this, how about you move to Osaka in the future?”

"." Xiujia was startled by Hideyoshi's sudden request, and was unable to give an answer for a while.

Hideya didn't understand why Hideyoshi would suddenly raise this question. You must know that throughout Hideyoshi's reign, there was never a reason why Daimyo was required to live in Osaka all the time.

After all, not every daimyo would go all the way from the Northeast to meet Hideyoshi in person in exchange for the status of an independent daimyo like Tsugaru Yuishin.

After all, daimyo is afraid that he will leave the territory for too long and cause chaos in the territory.

Seeing Xiu's silence again, Hideyoshi seemed a little unhappy, "Why, don't you want to live with me, an old man?"

Xiujia knew that now he was about to face the most important question in his life, if he couldn't answer well, he might never go out of Daban City again.

Soon, the Xiu family gave an answer, "How could it be? It's my honor to live in the same city as my father. It's just that my father knows my child well. My child is used to wild nature. The mansion in Osaka City is really small. It’s uncomfortable for the child to live in, it would be great if we could build more.”

Hearing Hideyoshi's request to build an additional mansion in Osaka, Hideyoshi laughed and said, "Hahaha, your mansion is already the largest in Osaka City, why are you still not satisfied?"

Immediately, he replied intently, "The mansions of the daimyos in Osaka Castle have been stipulated. If you expand, are you going to demolish the mansion of Yahei (Asano Nagamasa) next to you?

But you don't have to worry, I won't be living in Osaka soon, how can I not live in Kyoto as Guan Bai.

I have already ordered people to build a house in Kyoto, and Maeda Gen wrote that it will be completed next month.

At that time, the rewards of Kyushu were almost over, and I planned to invite all the famous names in the world to visit my mansion, including the Emperor, who would also come and visit if necessary. "

Speaking here, Hideyoshi paused for a moment and covered one side of his mouth with his hand, and whispered to Xiujia, "To be honest, I don't live very comfortably in Osaka City, and I plan to live there in the future.

I have seen it over there, the environment is very nice, there are ponds, rockery, roof and interior decorations are all decorated with gold leaf, I plan to name him Juledi, what do you think? "

After finishing the whisper, Hideyoshi sat upright again and said, "I plan to let all the daimyos in the world come to Kyoto, and rebuild the feudal mansion along Juledi, so I specially reserved places for the daimyos.

And the pro-fans are the first batch, and I plan all of them to be on the east side of Jule Building, in the middle of the Imperial Palace.

The east side is next to His Majesty's Imperial Palace, the south side is Nijo Castle, and the west side is my Juledi. This is the best geomantic treasure in Kyoto! "

"Well, the site selection is not bad!" Hideyoshi showed off to the Hide family, "Since you said that you definitely don't have enough space, I will ask Ishida Mitsunari and Maeda Genyi to re-plan and allocate the foundation next to you to you.

I know you have a vassal mansion in Sanjo, Kyoto. There is no conflict at all. Whether you want to keep the Sanjo mansion or resell it, I will not interfere. "

Hideyoshi has already talked about this point, there is no reason for the Hideyoshi family to refuse, they can only thank Hideyoshi for his kindness, "So I will explain to my family after I go back, and order people to come to Kyoto to designate a location to build an additional mansion."

Hideyoshi is different from Tokugawa. Hideyoshi's rule over the daimyo is still at the level of restraint. As long as he leaves hostages in Osaka, he can return to the territory to govern the territory.

Of course, Hideyoshi also has another way of direct participation, but these are basically the direct retainers who work in the central government and work for Hideyoshi. External daimyos rarely allow them to stay in Osaka or Kyoto.

Of course, there are exceptions, that is, the super daimyo headed by Mori Terumoto, Maeda Toshiie, Tokugawa Ieyasu, Uesugi Kekatsu, they are required to spend at least 1/3 of the year in Osaka or Kyoto.

In fact, Kyoto Jurakudi is no better than Osaka. The daimyo who can leave a house in Jurakudi are either rich or expensive. Basically, except for the aforementioned daimyos, only Hideyoshi’s relatives such as Hideyoshi, Asano Nagamasa, Hashiba Hideji, Miyoshi Jifang and others were able to build the mansion on the east side of Juledi.

After Hideyoshi himself moved to Juledi, he really attached great importance to family ties, and once asked his relatives to live in Juledi.

So now Hideyoshi's request that Hideyoshi move to Juledi in the future is not a special arrangement or surveillance, but Hideyoshi's unified arrangement for the pro-fan daimyo.

In the eyes of many daimyos at that time, it was more honorable to have a mansion in the daimyo gathering area on the east side of Juledi than to have a mansion in Osaka City.

Of course, Hideyoshi hasn't made this rule yet, so it's a kind of temptation to mention this matter to the Hideo family.

As mentioned above, Hideyoshi is very generous on the surface, but in fact he uses various means to control it. The most direct manifestation is to let the famous master send the people closest to him to Osaka as hostages.

And like the Xiu family, because the wife is too young to be married, and the children are too young to be sent here, the mother has been brought into the harem by Hideyoshi, and it is almost full of BUFF, so I can only live as a hostage in Jule. went.

Of course, in name, the Toyotomi family is reunited.

So far, Hideyoshi is quite satisfied with Hideyoshi's answers, and Hideyoshi thought that this meeting would end in such a joyous way.

Who would have thought that Hideyoshi sighed and said to the Xiu family with some melancholy, "Have you heard about Husong?"

The difficulty is that the Hideo family doesn't understand Husong's situation. As Hideyoshi's son who was only born when he was 45 years old, the most important thing is that Husong was born at the time of the Honnoji Temple's change.

And Hideyoshi formally relied on the Honnoji Temple to threaten Oda to make the princes achieve hegemony, thinking that this child was the one who brought him luck.

Therefore, he loves Husong very much, and protects him tightly, fearing that something will happen if he bumps outside.

Moreover, this child is still named under the name of Ning Ning, and belongs to the son of the direct descendant. Everyone in the Toyotomi family values ​​this child very much, thinking that he will inherit everything from the Toyotomi family like Oda Nobutada when he grows up.

In addition, the Xiu family has been running around for Hideyoshi's world in recent years, so they rarely get along with this blood brother, and know little about his situation.

"Husong. His Highness Husong? What's wrong?" Xiujia looked at Hideyoshi nervously and asked.

When Husong was 2 years old, Xiujia knew that Husong had the "unspeakable" disease, and combined with the fact that he lived in Xianfani's stomach for 11 months, they believed that he was mentally retarded due to late delivery.

It is also to persuade Xian Fani to adopt Hu Song to Ning Ning in exchange for Ning Ning's support and protection of Xiu's family and Xian Fani.

Xiujia looked at Hideyoshi nervously, but found that Hideyoshi was angry when he talked about this, which made Xiujia, the person who did something wrong, couldn't help but tense, "Could it be that what happened at that time was vented?"

When Hideyoshi asked why, Hideyoshi became even more angry. He said angrily, "When we were out in Kyushu, there was a man who didn't take good care of the tiger and pine, so that he climbed a tree and fell from the tree."

Hearing that Husong fell from the tree, the Xiu family said nervously, "Husong Hall fell, is he alright?"

Speaking of this, Hideyoshi said angrily, "I have been in a coma for a long time, and I can't speak smoothly after waking up. The doctor said it was because of a brain knock. I'm afraid it will be like this in the future.

You know that Husong used to be relatively taciturn, but now that speaking is a problem, he is even more reluctant to speak. "

Having said that, Hideyoshi curled his lips, and tears flowed from the corners of his eyes, "Is this the punishment God gave me, punishing me for killing too much these years?"

Although Hideyoshi's words were very succinct, Hideyo quickly sorted out the outline of the story in Hideyoshi's words, and asked Hideyoshi, "But why did Husong climb trees for no reason?"

"It's ridiculous to say that it's for picking fruits for Hesong. How old is Hesong, and you need Husong to risk his life to pick fruits?"

The more the Xiu family heard, the more confused they became, and they continued to ask: "Pick the fruit? Why don't the maids and attendants watch?"

"Husong's nanny said that Ningning called her over, so he temporarily handed Husong over to Hesong's nanny to take care of her, but I asked Ningning and that was not the case."

Xiujia also suggested: "All the people who were present at that time can be separated and interrogated carefully. If there is any confession that does not match, they will be severely tortured."

"Hehe" Hearing Hideyoshi's suggestion, Hideyoshi smiled helplessly, "I did everything I could do, Ning Ning felt that the matter was serious, so let all the criminals be watched and asked when I come back.

But maybe they were afraid that I would punish them when I came back. Everyone who was present at that time committed suicide in prison.I only have the statement that Ning Ning originally transcribed in my hand. "

"Hiss~" Xiu's family gasped when they heard that all the offenders would commit suicide, and immediately felt that this matter was not simple.

He slightly raised his head to look at Hideyoshi, wanting to see something from his expression, Hideyoshi still had that expression of anger and regret.

Xiujia wanted to point out some hidden secrets, but he didn't open his mouth because he didn't have any evidence in his hand.

In fact, after this incident happened, the biggest beneficiaries were Hesong and Chacha, but Xiujia didn't believe that Chacha could have such a strong power in Hideyoshi's Ooku in such a short period of time.

The key is not to send away the people around Husong, but the most important thing is to be able to silence all the people who have been imprisoned and closely guarded. This is not what Chacha can do.

In fact, thanks to Xiu's family, they didn't raise doubts about Chacha at this time.

Because after the incident, Hideyoshi also doubted Chacha, and in the end, it was because of this reason that his doubts about Chacha were overshadowed. He didn't believe that Chacha had such strength.

In fact, the time for the suicides of several criminals is not uniform, so the possibility of outsiders can be ruled out. After all, everyone is locked together. If someone wants to come in and kill people, how can they kill people at the wrong time?

And judging from the fact that they killed themselves when their neighbor Hideyoshi came back, it is very likely that they were simply afraid that Hideyoshi would lead his anger to his family members, and only after one person took the lead did others follow suit.

In fact, when Xiujia heard the news, although Xiujia was angry, she didn't act very extreme.

Because in Xiujia's perception, Husong may have brain problems, at least autism.

In his opinion, Husong will never be selected by Hideyoshi as the family governor, so Xian Fani will adopt Husong to Ningning's name.

But the one who was injured now was his own younger brother after all, it would be a lie for the Xiu family to say that they were not angry, but now that the relevant criminals are all dead, the Xiu family could only say harshly, "Hmph, it really did them a favor."

Hideyoshi was not surprised by Xiujia's anger, he was also very angry when he heard the news, but now that things have passed for a while, he has calmed down instead.

He said to Xiu's family, "I will invite famous doctors from all over the world to treat Husong. I heard that your side has a good relationship with Ming Dynasty. You can help find some famous doctors from Ming Dynasty. If Husong can be cured, I will be grateful." reward.

In addition, although it has been so long, your mother and your biological mother still blame themselves, and shed tears all day long.If you are free these few days, go to Da'ao to accompany them more, and I will give you a special license. "

Although there was some resistance to entering Da Ou Xiu's house, Xiu's family still responded "Yes."
