Prime Minister Bizen

Chapter 651 Hachisuga's Restoration of the Feudal Domain and the Remarriage of Xi Ji (5.1K)

Regarding the belated actions of Nakagawa Hidemasa, Ikeda Teruma, and Mori Tadomasa, Hideka did not express his position on the surface, but he recorded them in his small notebook in his heart, planning to settle accounts later in the fall.

This banquet was to cleanse the dust of the daimyos who conquered Korea, and naturally invited many daimyos who went north to Korea, including Ishida Mitsunari, to attend the banquet.

If I had to talk about a special person, it would be Hachisuka Housekeeping who was changed by Hideyoshi to Shiraishi.

As we all know, Hachisuka Jiazheng was detained by Hideyoshi for slandering him, so he was changed from Chikuzen by Hideyoshi, and he was sent to Kyoto to be taken care of by Hideyoshi.

That is to say, Hachisuka's housekeeper has been living in the Hideka's mansion for the past two years.

It's just that time passed quickly, and 2 years passed in a blink of an eye, and the big names seemed to have forgotten that there was such a number one person.So many people were stunned in disbelief when they saw Housekeeper Hachisuka who was also present.

If we say that the most embarrassing of these people is Kuroda Nagamasa.

Shortly after Kuroda Nagamasa returned from North Korea, perhaps because Hideyoshi did not remember Hachisuka's family for 2 years, Kuroda Nagamasa asked Hideyoshi to reconcile on the grounds that he had nothing to do in the 10 years of marrying him.

Then he turned around and asked to marry Senshihime of the Maeda family, and got Hideyoshi's permission, but in the end Maeda Toshiie quit, and the marriage failed in the end.

The key is that Sakuma Katsuyuki was born in the 11th year of Yonglu (1568), and Shihime was born in the 2nd year of Yuanji (1571), and the grades of the two are just right.

Masanori Fukushima had long noticed Hachisuka House Economics, a person who should not have appeared at this banquet, but had been voluntarily ignoring it until now.

Hideyoshi had promised to find someone for Xiuchang's adopted daughter Yan, but due to unknown reasons (Xiujia and Xiuzhen didn't give him face, he deliberately delayed) there was no movement.

Among them, Toyotomi Hidekatsu, Fukushima Masanori and others did not necessarily stay because of their good relationship with the Hide family, but simply because they were too drunk to walk.

For these people, the Xiu family also arranged attendants to properly accommodate them. Anyway, the Xiu family's mansion was big enough to sleep so many people.

Anyway, he is the son of a repairman. Who of us didn't receive the favor of a repairman when we were young?In the final analysis, this is all our Owari people's own contradictions, so why let outsiders (Omi faction) see the joke.Do you think so, Quan Da Na Yan Dian? "

Masayoshi Fukushima said to Hideka heartlessly with Jiujin, "You were so small (gesturing) when you were young, why have you become so big now, I dare not look directly at you anymore."

"Should I propose it?" Toyotomi Hideji was shocked and refused again and again, as if he was unwilling to be the first person.

Regarding the matter of helping Hachisuka's housekeeping to restore his daimyo status, except for the fact that Gamo's Go Mingzhe did not make a clear statement about protecting himself, Maeda Toshiie and Tokugawa Ieyasu both expressed their willingness to help.

Unlike Awa in history where the Hachisuka family occupied the richness anyway, the Hachisuka family in this life has been bullied more thoroughly.After being divorced, Xi Ji was forced to live with her elder brother in the residence of Xiujiafan in Kyoto. Even the Xiu family felt that she was a poor woman.

Isn't it a coincidence that Hachisuka Masakatsu and Sakuma Shengmasa are still colleagues, and his daughter married Sakuma Shengmasa's adopted son (actual younger brother) just in the same seniority.

Sometimes I have to say that it makes sense for Tokugawa Ieyasu to win the world in the end. At least Tokugawa Ieyasu has always greeted him with a smile and never ambiguously when the daimyo asked him for help.

Hachisuka's housekeeping finally came back to the country after living in seclusion in Kyoto for 2 years. He expressed his gratitude to the Hide family and is about to go to Xinling to settle in the territory.

Fortunately, he will soon have a new wife.

The Xiu family took advantage of the fact that they were all members of the thick-tailed faction, or a few big names who had made good friends with the Xiu family, and took the initiative to chat about the past when they were young growing up beside the Beizheng Institute.

The most important thing is that Hideyoshi handed over Awa's main production area of ​​indigo to Hachisuka's housekeeping, which can be regarded as a supplement to the Hachisuka's financial resources.

But how could he know that Hideyoshi wanted him to be a leader.Hideyoshi hopes that Hideyoshi can stand up against the banner of the Nongwei faction by himself, so that he can fight against Hideyoshi, Ishida Mitsunari and others.

This Katsuyuki Sakuma's original wife was the adopted daughter of Narumasa Sasaki, because Katsuyuki's eldest son, Genrokuro, fell ill and died not long ago.

However, as the Japanese army was fully crushed in front of the Ming army, and was harassed by North Korean rebels, and the battle line was repeatedly compressed, how could Hideyoshi have the face to deal with Hachisuka's housekeeping because of the defeat?

Kuroda Nagamasa found an opportunity and found all kinds of reasons to drive away Hachisuka's daughter and then wanted to marry the Maeda family's princess, but Hideyoshi agreed and Maeda Toshiie was unwilling.

Although it is far from Haili, who owns 20 koku in Chikuzen and Hakata, this is a good start, isn't it?

Besides, the Hachisuka family is a good banner in our Nobuo faction. If he is re-established, it will help unite the hearts of our Nokoo people, and we won't be bullied by that guy all the time. "

Toyotomi Xiuzhen suddenly praised Kato Kiyomasa, which made the originally dull conversation quiet for a moment, especially Fukushima Masanori, Kato Kiyomasa and others looked at Toyotomi Xiuzhen in a daze.

(At this time, Kuroda Nagamasa and Ishida Mitsunari had not completely separated, and it was not until Ishida Mitsunari put them together for the second conquest that they completely turned to the arbitrariness faction.)
After drinking for three rounds, Masahiro Fukushima was so drunk, he danced with his breasts exposed at the banquet, and even asked Hideo to play drums for him. Hideo did not refuse such a request. This is a great opportunity to present yourself as approachable.

The whole text is based on two points of view:
1. The Hachisuka family has worked hard and made great achievements. They should be given grace and support, and they should not look at the monk's face (housekeeping) but also at the Buddha's face (zhengsheng).

Xi Ji treats the eldest son who was not born by her as her own, and has won the approval of the Sakuma family and other daimyo wives.

Fortunately, at this time, Hideji's elder, Maeno Nagayasu, who is also the uncle of Hachisuka's housekeeper, took the initiative to join him, and whispered a few words beside Toyotomi Hideji, and Toyotomi Hideji nodded in agreement.

It's just that there is still one thing in his heart that he can't let go of at the moment, and that is his sister Hihime who was divorced by Kuroda Nagamasa. He begs the Hide family to help find a suitable marriage. If this happens, Hachisuga The family will remember the kindness of the Xiu family for a lifetime.

It's just that the order to change was made by myself, so if I restore him to the country, wouldn't it be a slap in the face to myself?
Hideyoshi has been waiting for someone to give him a step down for such a long time. Toyotomi Hideji took the lead this time and brought so many powerful daimyos to sign a joint signature.

Just like Kuroda Nagamasa abandoned the family that gave birth to his daughter in history, this life has cut off the relationship with the Hachisuka family even more decisively.

The key is that Shiji is a second marriage after all, and her grade is already old (born in the 2nd year of Yuanji (1571) and she is 23 years old this year), so it is really difficult to find a famous family with a suitable grade for marriage. thing.

Sakuma Shengmasa's wife passed away the year before last, and Sakuma Shengmasa never remarried.Since there is no male, he adopted his younger brother Katsuma Sakuma as his adopted son.

Qian Shi was previously a substitute for Maeda Toshiie who proposed marriage with Hideyoshi after his death, but was rejected by Hideyoshi.

If one were to say who was the most irritable person in the entire Hachisuka Restoration incident, it must be Kuroda Nagamasa.

In the end, Toyotomi Hideyoshi had no choice but to talk to Shimadzu Yoshihiro again, and finally the marriage between Iwahime and Shimadzu Tadahiro was finalized.

2 The Hachisuka family is loyal to the Toyotomi family. This is the same as the genealogical family that started with the Toyotomi family. It is both loyal and useful to the Toyotomi family. How can it be abandoned?
Hideyoshi did not express his opinion after seeing this joint letter, but summoned Hachisuka Housekeeping a few days later. After some talk, Hideyoshi forgave Hachisuka Housecare for his previous unreasonableness, and gave him the names of Awa Country, East, West, and He That, the Zhixing place of 4 shi in the 8 counties of Haibu.

This time Hideka took the initiative to mention it, and he jokingly said, "Hey~! It's really Hikemon, why are you here?"

His rhetorical question style caused a burst of commotion from the crowd, and it was Hideka who came to the rescue and said, "Brother Hikoemon has been staying with me recently, and he has been telling me that he has deeply reflected on his mistakes and plans to correct his mistakes.

Maeda Toshiie, on the other hand, agreed more straightforwardly, perhaps because of his relationship with Hachisuka Masakatsu, or perhaps because of Hideka's presence.

The most important thing is that the host of this banquet is Hideka. A collarless samurai like Hachisuka couldn't even enter the door. Now that he has a table to eat, Hideka has really praised him very much.

The most important thing is that Shihime's ex-husband, the Kuroda family Zhixing, only has 14 shi, which is not much more than the Sakuma family.

Among them, Hideya deliberately mentioned the story of being bullied by Fukushima Masanori and Kato Kiyomasa when he was a child, which made everyone laugh.

Or maybe it was because Sensei was going to be married to Kuroda Nagamasa as his successor, and Maeda Toshiie wanted to make it clear that he had nothing to do with this matter by supporting Hachisuka's housekeeping.

The smartest person here is Kato Kiyomasa, who changed his mind after seeing Hachisuka's housekeeping attend.

He has long had the idea of ​​wanting Hachisuka Housekeeper to return to his daimyo status. After all, when people get old, they are very nostalgic. How come Hachisuka Housekeeper is his nephew.

On the contrary, Fukushima Masanori and Kato Kiyomasa, who are much older than Hideka, played with Hachisuka House Economics when they were young.

But let alone, the Xiu family really has such a candidate.

But fortunately, Toyotomi Hidetada's sudden opening enlivened the atmosphere, and Toyotomi Hideji, who was originally unwilling to express his opinion, also said, "It's just that Hikoemon's change was decided by my uncle and father, and now I'm going to restore the country, I'm afraid it will be a bit troublesome. "

As for Shimadzu Kameju, the sister-in-law who remarried Shimadzu Tadahiro, he had to be properly arranged. It happened that Kuroda Nagamasa's wife was gone, so Hideyoshi directly married Shimadzu Kameju to the Kuroda family.

Hideka told Hachisuka Kezheng more than once that he would handle the restoration of the feudal domain for him, but he needed his cooperation, and the process would be very servile.In order to restore the feudal domain, Hachisuka's housekeeping can bear all this.

Seeing this, Hideka struck while the iron was hot and said, "Brother Hikoemon did something wrong, but for his father's face, I decided it shouldn't have such an ending.

Xiujia laughed because he felt that he had been brainwashed for so many years. Toyotomi Xiuzhen's words like this were enough to show the gap between him and his own father Tokugawa Ieyasu. As for why other people laughed at Xiujia, I don't know. .

Hideka's behavior of revealing his scars made Fukushima Masanori and Kato Kiyomasa think that Hideka no longer minded the playfulness when they were young, and took the initiative to take Hideka to drink together.

The Xiu family was also very helpless when they heard this request. Their sister, Zhenzi, has not found a partner yet, and Xiuchang's daughter, Sanba, is about to give birth to a sunflower. It's good to be a full-time matchmaker.

In the end, Kuroda Nagamasa's original wife disappeared, and Suxian didn't marry again. In the end, he offended Maeda and Hachisuka.

As a result, Zhiyunyuan in Gifu couldn't sit still anymore, and rushed to Juledi with Fobo and Muyu, crying and complaining to the Dazheng Office and Beizheng Office, "No one wants the old girl", "My uncle also Don't care" all kinds of things, he kept greeting Hideyoshi.

After Toyotomi Hideji agreed, the Hide family took Hachisuka's family economics to visit Maeda Toshiie, Gamo Ujigo, Tokugawa Ieyasu and other daimyos, and the most important thing was to bring Hachisuka's family economics to visit Ning Ning of Beizhengsho.

Hearing his answer, even Toyotomi Hideji was taken aback for a moment, but Hideka laughed first, which caused everyone to burst into laughter.

In fact, it is inevitable for Hachisuka's family to return to the feudal domain.It is impossible for Hideyoshi to fail to see the political energy of the Hachisuka family within the Toyotomi family. Such an old-fashioned genealogy will change as soon as it is said, and the influence on the retainers is too bad.

Besides, now that Hikoemon has admitted his mistake, why not help him restore the country, brother?He didn't ask much, just a territory of 1 to 2 stones to pass on his family name. "

Hearing that Masanori Fukushima said that he was [Mikawa boy] Toyotomi Hidetada, he got angry. He stood up and said to Masanori Fukushima, "My father is the Neifuden, the ancestor of the Gifu feudal clan. Why am I not strong?" It's the end!"

Toyotomi Hideji was dumbfounded for a moment when he heard the Xiu family call him, then nodded and said, "That's right, there are not many family members left who started the family with my uncle, and we shouldn't fight among ourselves."

Seeing that the Xiu family brought up this matter on their own initiative now, they also helped to speak, "The Hachisuka family is an important minister of my Toyotomi family, and they have contributed a lot to the peace of the world with His Highness Guan Bai. Certain preferential treatment should indeed be given, so as not to make the old minister feel cold .

The banquet that day was held from noon to night, and there were many famous people who did not have a particularly good relationship with the Hide family, such as Ishida Mitsunari, Matsuura Shinnobu and others who left after Hideaki, but people like Kobayakawa Hideaki, Tachibana Soshige, Toyotomi Hideji, etc. But stayed.

Previously, it was just because everyone went smoothly in the Korean War, and Hideyoshi was unhappy because you, the Hachisuka family management, were defeated by the only one. In addition, you were caught because you couldn't control your mouth after you went back.

In the end of Shihime's marriage, I don't know how many people have contributed to the flames from behind. In short, it is to promote the feeling that the woman from the Hachisuka family that the Kuroda family does not want still has no worries about marrying.

Masayoshi Fukushima said angrily, "Let's talk about the Agriculture Committee, what are you Sanhezi!"

During this period, the Hide family also brought Hachisuka Jiazheng in and said, "Brothers, do you still remember Hikoemon-san? We all played behind his ass when we were young."

Kato Kiyomasa analyzed clearly and logically, and even Toyotomi Xiuzhen who was beside him slapped his thigh and praised: "That's right!"

Kuroda Nagamasa may also have taken care of his uncle. He didn't even dare to look at him at a normal banquet, and drank with Ishida Mitsunari and others throughout the whole process.

Anyway, both of these two families are second-married, and they are both famous with more than [-] shi. They are well-matched and owe no one to anyone, and the Shimadzu, Kuroda, and Toyotomi families can marry each other, so why not do it?

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Hideka took the initiative to say, "I won't embarrass my brother. I will take Hikoemon to visit Senator Maeda and Councilor Gamo to win his support. You can propose it at that time."

(Nagamasa Kuroda emo once)
Xi Ji herself is a good girl who is well-educated and reasonable, plus there is Xiu's family as a matchmaker, Sakuma is very polite to her, and Sakuma Katsuyuki treats her with respect.

Hachisuka’s family economics was born in the first year of Yongroku (1558). When the Hide family followed Hideyoshi, Hachisuka’s family economics had already become the heir of the Hachisuka family in Yuanfu, and he did not lead the Hide family for a day.

Xiujia responded with a smile, "Nonsense, aren't you just looking at me and making fun of me now!"

During this period, Hideka brought Hachisuka Housekeeper several times to pour wine for Toyotomi Hideji and Fukushima Masanori. The relationship between the Chen family and another Dock Xiuci family.

In short, with the help of so many enthusiastic daimyos, taking advantage of the opportunity of President Konishi to return to Japan with the Ming peace talks documents, proposed by Toyotomi Hideji, Maeda Toshiie, Tokugawa Ieyasu, Toyotomi Hideka, Toyotomi Hidetada and other daimyos joined forces. The proposal to request the return of the daimyo's identity for Hachisuka's family was sent to Hideyoshi's desk.

The Hachisuka family and the Kuroda family in history have not been in touch for 200 years because of the divorce of the princess. In this life, the Hachisuka family does not have so much capital. Although they are still dark-faced in the face of Kuroda Nagamasa, they dare not have the slightest overrun performance.

The great masters know the story of Hachisuka Noihime to some extent, and feel that this girl is a hard-working person, and now there is a good match to be the heir of the heir of the Sakuma family of the 12 koku daimyo in Kanazawa. What a good match!
The current Hachisuka family is only 8 koku, and the in-laws are famous with 12 koku.

Anyway, the last generosity is the generosity of others, and I can earn the favor of others for this, so why not do it.

(Nagamasa Kuroda emo twice)

The most important thing is that six months after the two got married, Shihime announced her pregnancy. By the end of 1595, she successfully gave birth to a son. The Sakuma family rejoiced. The baby name of the heir of Jiajiadu shows his love for this child.

Shihime conceived and gave birth to a son shortly after marrying Katsuyuki Sakuma, successfully dispelling the rumors that she was infertile, and let everyone know that it was not her but Nagamasa Kuroda who had the problem.

(Nagamasa Kuroda emo three times)
