Prime Minister Bizen

Chapter 601 Hidecho reprimands Hashiba Hidekatsu

[Harmony] [Friendliness] will always be the main body of the Toyotomi Hidecho family in the old days of the Toyotomi family.

The Toyotomi family has never been called "Clan Elder", and there has always been only one patriarch, and that is the aloof Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

However, Toyotomi Hideyoshi regards his Toyotomi family vassal as a tool man, and he only thinks of it when he needs to use these blood relatives to control the outsiders. Usually, he doesn't care about their private relationship at all.

Fortunately, Ning Ning, the "mother", helped Hideyoshi make up for many, many family ties.

Coupled with the presence of Hidecho, the patriarch who replaced Hideyoshi, the entire Toyotomi clan is still relatively harmonious.

There is a reason for saying relative harmony.

In the Ningning Kindergarten in history, no matter it is the genealogy or the first one, Ning Ning raised them from childhood to adulthood, and the children are playmates who grew up together.

But in fact, there is an essential difference between the adopted sons of outsiders like Fukushima Masanori and Kato Kiyomasa, and the real relatives who have blood ties with the Hide family, such as Toyotomi Hideji and Kobayakawa Hideaki.

Hideyoshi's attitude towards the two is very different, even though Hideyoshi himself is a person with vested interests who relies on his status as an adopted son in Japan.

But in his bones, he still has a mud-legged thinking that blood is the first, so the promotion of blood is far better than that of ordinary adopted sons.

And Toyotomi Hidecho is the only man in his clan system who has been influenced by orthodox Japanese culture, treats all relatives equally, and wins them together.

Japan's rule is a standard feudal rule, with family interests as the core, surrounded by a group of small groups of vassals who occupy interests together.

Only when the interests of the family are guaranteed, can they unite together, and those foreign names will not have strange ideas.

This is why there is a saying that as long as Toyotomi Hideaga is alive, the Toyotomi family will not perish in the second generation.

Let's take the present as an example, the Hide family, who has a total of 200 million stone daimyo after the sequestration, are most afraid of two people, Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Toyotomi Hidecho, one is his adoptive father and the other is his uncle and father-in-law.

Hearing Xiuchang beckoning him over, Xiu's family was one head and two older, and asked the attendant who came to pass the message, "Have Councilor Toyotomi and Major General Yuchai gone to the mansion of You Mansion?"

The attendant lowered his head and replied, "Your Highness has already guessed it? The two Highnesses just left the mansion when they were called to the mansion by the retainers of the Right Palace."

That must have been guessed. With Xiuchang's level of water skills, it is natural that after understanding the ins and outs of the matter, there will be a fight on both sides.

The Xiu family who received Xiuchang's notice, although very reluctant, had no choice but to leave the matter behind and go to Xiuchang's mansion to meet Xiuchang.

The one leading the way is Ichiyanagi Keyu, who is the brother of Owari Kuroda Castle Lord Ichiyanagi Naomori's family.

It should be said that this Ichiyanagi family also has a lot of old people in Mino country. Since the first year of Yuanji (1570), he became an official Hideyoshi and became his retainer. Before that, his elder brother Ichiyanagi was awarded 5 shi of Mino Ogaki Castle and assigned it to Xiuchang became Yuli.

However, after Ichiyanagi Naomo died in the battle of Izuyama Nakajo, he was inherited by his younger brother Ichiyanagi Naomori because of the youngest son. Ogaki Castle was taken back and re-given to Owari Kuroda Castle.

Since it was only Hidecho's favor, Hideaga didn't have much say in their disposal, but afterwards he gave Chiyo Chidai 5000 stones to Chiyo in private, as compensation for the two families to separate their clans.

In fact, Ichiyanagi's experience was not uncommon throughout the Momoyama era. Ikeda Hengxing, who died in the battle of Noo, only gave Ikeda Teruma 10 shi to confirm his death after his death.

You must know that before the war, Hengxing Ikeda, as an ally of Hideyoshi, owned a huge territory of 60 koku in Mino and Owari.

It is precisely because of Hideyoshi's attitude towards a villain like a hero that the kindness of the Toyotomi family is naturally impossible to talk about.

When Xiu's family saw Xiuchang, Xiuci and Xiusheng had finished explaining their point of view, and Xiuchang, who was paralyzed, could only rely on the body of the attendant to scold Xiusheng.

"As a daimyo, you can't even manage your own territory well, so why don't you ask the former daimyo for help?
Hachiro's transfer was approved by Guan Bai, what right do you have to block people at will?
What you have to do now is to figure out how to increase the population of Okayama and restore the economy of Okayama.

Do you still dare to talk back?Do you think that if you throw all the responsibility to Hachiro, your brother won't blame you?He will only feel that you are incompetent even more! "

Not to mention, even though Xiuchang's speech is already clumsy, he is still very quick to scold people.

Among the second generation of the Toyotomi family, the Xiu family has long been famous all over the world, and Xiuzhen, who is a half outsider, has already taken charge of Ouyu and started guarding one side for the Toyotomi family.

The eldest, Toyotomi Hideji, has also restrained his youthful temperament. In recent years, under the education of his family elders, he has become more and more decent in doing things. In the future, he may not be able to take care of his brother alone.

Yuhu (Toyotomi Hideho), who is now 12 years old, has been able to follow his elder brother Xiuji and learn to handle some government affairs.

Even Hashiba Hidetoshi (Kobayakawa Hideaki), who has just turned 10, has already shown the agility of a teenager, and will definitely be a samurai with outstanding abilities in the future.

Looking at Toyotomi's sect at the moment, this young man called Xiu Sheng is the most impulsive in doing things, relying on his status as Guan Bai's nephew and Xiu Ci's younger brother, he is domineering and causing trouble everywhere.

Back then, he even dared to complain to the crowd that his uncle's reward was unfair to him at the celebration banquet where he was rewarded after the evaluation by Kyushu, and he gave too little.

You must know that he just went through the cutscenes. In fact, he was confiscated with 6 shi without making any achievements. Kazutoyo Yamauchi worked hard all his life to get 5 shi. He still said that his uncle was wrong.

After being reprimanded for a while, he restrained himself a little, and he knew who was feeding him.But among the big names, there is often no big or small.

Just like after the Battle of Odawara, Xiu Shengcai returned Hanoi's 2 koku reward for his meritorious service, and dared to call Kobayakawa Takakage and Hachisuka's housekeeper by their names, causing quite a commotion.

Although this time he said that he went to negotiate with the Xiu family, but the Xiu family's temper was very clear, and it was definitely not as innocent as Xiu Sheng said that he could provoke the Xiu family.

Therefore, when the Xiu family arrived and listened to the story told by the Xiu family, he was even more angry and scolded Xiu Sheng, "Who do you think you are? You are just the son of the Hashiba family. The person in front of him was the master of the Toyotomi family.

How do you look like you are still very unconvinced? "

"Yes" Xiu Sheng replied very stiffly, "I am His Royal Highness Guan Bai's nephew. He is a wild child brought back from outside by my uncle. I am my mother's own son. Uncle, how can you help outsiders say that."

Before Xiu Sheng finished speaking, Xiu Chang supported his heavy sick body, and threw the folding fan of the attendant beside him on Xiu Sheng's face.

During the whole process, Xiujia sat on the side without saying a word, watching coldly how Xiuchang educated Xiusheng.

"He" Xiuchang weakly raised his finger and pointed at the Xiu family who was sitting on the side. He exhausted all his strength and almost roared and said, "He is my own son-in-law, and he is the adopted son of my elder brother. Do you understand that the one who is registered ? Even if He Song sees him, he has to call him brother!"

As soon as Xiuchang's voice fell, he coughed weakly. Xiujia hurried forward to support Xiuchang, and gently stroked his back with his left hand to calm his breath.

"And you..." Xiuchang coughed twice, and said weakly to Xiusheng, "You are still just a child of Yuchai's family, how can you treat your master like this?"

After finishing speaking, he ordered Toyotomi Hideji again: "Sun Qi, slap his mouth for me."

"Uncle!" Xiuci heard that his younger brother was going to be slapped on the mouth. Xiuci looked at Xiuchang in panic, but was stared back by Xiuchang's sharp eyes. "Hit, if you don't hit, I'll let someone else do it."

Xiuci was helpless, walked up to Xiusheng in front of Xiuchang and Xiu's family in the hall, and slapped his brother's big mouths fiercely under the terrified eyes of his younger brother.

Xiuci's two slaps were useless, because he knew that it was impossible to cheat in front of Xiuchang at this time, and if he made Xiuchang angry and his health deteriorated, he would be a big sinner.

[Papa] Two crisp sounds, hitting the arrogant Xiu Sheng like a quail.

He is Nishini's favorite son. In history, even after Hideji and Hideho became big names, Nishiuni still chose to follow Hidekatsu to live in Gifu.

It was the doting from his mother that made him develop his current temper. After all, Xiuchang is only a half-uncle of the same mother, and some things can only be persuaded, not directly managed.

It wasn't until today that Xiusheng directly went to Xiu's house to really challenge Xiuchang's bottom line.

As mentioned earlier, the biggest difference between Hidecho and Hideyoshi is that Hideyoshi still has mud-legged thinking in his bones, and he is a fan of the supremacy of blood, while Hidecho is already a qualified samurai child under the education of Takenaka Hanbei. The status of the ranks among clans is very important.

In his opinion, it is not a person's prestige that maintains the world, but a thing called [Li], which is the dignity of the superior and cannot be trampled on by others.

The Xiu family is the adopted son of Hideyoshi, and has the legal inheritance right to the Toyotomi family. The order of this inheritance right is even higher than that of Hu Song, who has been adopted by Xiu Chang.

He is a serious child of the Toyotomi clan. Although it is said that he belongs to the Kanto Toyotomi family and the Iwafu Toyotomi family, in legal terms he is the Toyotomi clan without a separate family.

Just because the Xiu family knew very well that it was impossible for them to compete with He Song for the identity of the heir, so they were willing to choose Yuanzhen Guandong, it didn't mean that he became a separate person.

In Chinese terms, he is the master, and Xiusheng is not even the name of the Toyotomi family, and he is still a child of the foreign clan who has the name of Yuchai Miao.

It’s fine if you are a dignified official in the imperial court, or if you have a large territory, but you are a young boy from a foreign clan who dare to yell at your master. If it gets out, you are hitting the authority of the Toyotomi family!
Do you think that Xiuchang is angry because Xiusheng called the two "Hachiro" of the Xiu family?
If the two of them said this in private, Xiuchang wouldn't say a word, but the two of them were arguing too fiercely, the mansions in the capital are all connected to each other, and the quarrel between the two can be heard next door, so naturally he can only defend it The face of the Toyotomi family.

"There are many mountain people in Kii, Yamato, Nishi Omi, and Iga, and the fields under the mountain have already been divided. In addition, there are many refugees in Nara, Kyoto, Sakai, and Hachimanyama towns.

If Okayama is really sparsely populated by then, these people can be sent there for you.

In fact, as far as I know, when you were bothering Dai Nayan, Toe Mamoru (Kato Koyasu), the head office, had already entered Luo and asked Kanbai to relocate the refugees to Beichu. Only you are so foolish as to go to Hachiro statement! "

Xiuchang scolded Xiusheng bitterly, and after finally finishing the scolding, he thoughtfully helped him find a way. After all, the blood bond between the two is still inseparable.

After scolding Yuchai Xiusheng, he told Xiuci to discipline Xiusheng well, because Xiusheng's temper would cause a lot of trouble in the future.

In fact, there is no need for Hidecho to remind, Hideji himself knows very well that after the Odawara War, he settled the incident with Kobayakawa Takakage and Hachisuka's housekeeping by himself. He also went to trouble the Xiu family.

At the last hint of Xiuchang, Xiuci took Xiusheng to apologize to Xiujia, and Xiujia forgave the two of them, and also apologized for not controlling his temper just now.

After the two apologized, Xiuchang signaled the two to leave first, and he still had something to say to the Xiu family.

After the two left, Xiu Zhang greeted the Xiu family to sit opposite each other, and then asked the Xiu family, "I heard from my elder brother that you begged him to release Chun Gongliang and other veterans because there is no one in the collar who can lead the army?"

"It's true." Hideka agreed, and then told him what he and Hideyoshi had said.

Hearing that Xiujia admitted his difficulties, Xiuchang seemed very uncomfortable. He said to Xiujia, "I was thinking of asking you to borrow someone."

The Xiu family asked curiously after hearing this: "I can't go to North Korea because my uncle is young and strong, and he can still make meritorious deeds immediately after two years of training. Besides, Hu Song is still young, but he has studied hard for a few years, and it will not be a problem to inherit the mantle in the future. "

Hidecho pointed to himself, then pointed to the left and right and said, "Look at my current appearance, there is no chance of me being able to make contributions. Although Husong is the son of the Toyotomi family, even enlightenment is so difficult now. How can we support such a large country?"

This is not only the first time Xiuchang has complained to Xiujia, but facing this situation, Xiujia has no particularly good solution, and can only deal with Xiuchang in silence.

Next, the Xiu family even heard an official complaint from Xiu Chang: "I know my elder brother. The land of No. After my death, the Gifu Domain will cease to exist."

Although historical experience told Xiujia that what Xiuchang said was the truth, Xiujia still comforted Xiuchang and said, "You worry too much. You will live a long life if you survive a catastrophe. The world of the Toyotomi family needs more You hold on.

Besides, even if you passed away, Husong is Father's biological son after all, and he will never treat Husong harshly. "

Hearing the safety of Xiu's family, Xiu Zhang laughed a few times and responded, "I hope so."

Despite the words of comfort on their lips, they both saw distrust in each other's eyes when they made eye contact.
