Prime Minister Bizen

Chapter 670 Questioning
The five big brothers and the five follow this system. As a fan of the Warring States Period, Hideka is very familiar with it. After hearing that Horio Yoshiharu became a member of the third middle school just like in history, Hideka curiously asked him about the five big brothers. With five pursued candidates.

Hearing Hideka's inquiry, Horio Yoshiharu quickly denied: "I don't know about the candidate selection. This matter is decided by His Highness Kanbai himself. Even I was asked by His Highness Guanbai for his opinion in private, presumably Everyone else should do the same."

"Really, but I didn't hear Nakamuraden tell me about it on the way."

"That's probably because His Highness Kanbai hasn't summoned Nakamura Shikibu yet." Horio Yoshiharu comforted Hideo, "Your Highness, you don't have to worry, even Your Highness Tokugawa and Uesugi were called to Jule Hall not long ago." of.

With His Highness' ability, the importance of Fengchun's family in Kanto, and the close relationship between His Highness and Toyotomi's family, he must be one of the five big brothers in the end.If it wasn't for the five big brothers, then they must have become Xiuzhao Palace's hindsight. "

Speaking of this, Horio Yoshiharu's attitude towards the Hide family became more and more friendly, and he approached the Hide family actively and said: "From now on, Your Highness, you and I will be regarded as fellow servants of the same palace. Please take care of your Highness."

After hearing such an answer, Xiujia finally understood why Yoshiharu Horio was so friendly to him today.

Originally, he thought that with the strength and political status of the Hide family, he would definitely be able to occupy a place in the Toyotomi regime in the post-Hideyoshi era in the future, so he took the initiative to move closer to the Hide family.

Hideka, who was flattered by his few words, said modestly, "Masters Tokugawa and Uesugi are confirmed to be big bosses, plus Mori and Maeda, it's not certain whether I can become a big boss in the end, maybe it will be made by Gifu Or His Highness Koriyama will become one of the five big men."

Horio Yoshiharu then complimented: "If that's the case, Your Highness must see you later for His Highness Hideaki."

"Don't draw conclusions so early, His Highness Gifu's qualifications and ability are also sufficient." Hideka said modestly.

"How can the Gifu Palace compare to your Highness? In addition, the Gifu Palace just hated His Highness Guanbai not long ago, and is now restrained in Kyoto. It is absolutely impossible to compare with His Highness this time."

Horio Yoshiharu's compliments hadn't ended yet, and Hideka hadn't even settled down in the mansion, when someone came from Juledi to send Hideyoshi's order, saying that His Highness Kanbai had summoned His Highness Toyoharu Danagyan.

From Horio Yoshiharu's point of view, this is a sign that Hideya is about to become the person with power in Toyotomi's family because of his words, so naturally all kinds of compliments are blowing towards Hideya.

Hideo was also very helpful in this, but Hideyoshi was eager to call, so he and Horio Yoshiharu shirked a few words, changed their clothes, and followed the Huangmu Yizhong into the Jule Building to meet Hideyoshi.

The man led Xiu's family to a side hall and waited for a long time. With the sound of coughing coming from far and near, accompanied by a rotten smell, Xiu's family knew that Guan Bai Xiuji must have arrived.

Xiujia immediately fell to the ground and saluted Hideyoshi.

Hideyoshi, whose head was on the floor, caught a glimpse of two pairs of feet, one big and one small, walking past him from the corner of his eyes, and guessed in his heart that maybe Hideyoshi brought Hideaki to meet him.

"Raise your head up." Hideyoshi's voice was still full of air, and he couldn't hear his sickness at all.

But when he raised his head and saw the festered face on his cheek, it still made people's heart skip a beat.

"Isn't mine scary?" Hideyoshi said when he saw the dazed Hideka.

Xiujia sorted out his emotions in the fastest time, tears rolled in Xiujia's eye sockets, and then began to cry in front of Xiujia.

"He's such a big man, how did he look like a child?" Hideyoshi asked the weeping Hideo.

Looking at Hideyoshi whose face has changed, Hideka explained: "Boy, baby, it's really hard to imagine that my father will look like this. Father still needs to pay more attention to his body."

"Take care of your health." Hideyoshi laughed at himself and said, "How can I be cured of my disease by taking care of my health? Now I can't wait to tear that envoy of the Ming Dynasty into pieces!"

Speaking of this, Hideyoshi's eyes became gloomy and cold, and he glanced at Xiujia and asked, "I have issued an order for general mobilization a long time ago, why didn't you obey, why didn't you go out to North Korea with the army on time, did you hear that I was sick , Do you also think that I will not live long and want to disobey me?"

Hearing Hideyoshi's question, Hideka made a terrified expression and said, "How dare you be contemptuous? It is true that the boy has not returned to the collar for many years, and there are too many things in the collar that need to be decided by the boy.

I heard that my father wants me to lead an army to fight in North Korea, and I have to deal with the Ming army in this battle.As soon as the boy went back, he ordered to reorganize the armament and build weapons, in order to help his father regain the stolen territory on the battlefield!

It was only later that the boy became seriously ill again, so he delayed his arrival until now.A child's loyalty to his father can be learned from the sun and the moon! "

Hideyoshi looked at Hideo, and said to Hideo with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "What you said is exactly the same as what that guy Ieyasu said. But you two kept pushing and pushing my request to go to North Korea."

"Speaking of Ieyasu, Hachiro. Do you still remember how you evaluated His Highness Tokugawa when you and I were at the foot of Azuchi Castle?"

"How would you rate Tokugawa Ieyasu?"

Hideyoshi's question directly baffled Hideka, what year was Azuchi Castle, and now 15 years have passed, how can Hideka still remember clearly.

Seeing the bewilderment in Xiujia's eyes, Xiujia retold to Xiujia the story about "Wang Mang's humility before usurping" told by Xiujia in front of him more than ten years ago, but this time it seemed that it was not only They are reminding Xiujia, they are more telling to Xiu Zhao who is sitting at the side.

At this moment, the Xiu family seemed to have guessed what Hideyoshi meant when he mentioned this story, but Hideyoshi went on to say, "I have confirmed the story you told with the people of Ming and Korea. There was indeed such a traitor in the history of the Ming Dynasty." exist.

At that time, your story about Wang Mang warned me that His Royal Highness Tokugawa is absolutely very human. This person can endure what ordinary people can't, and there will be big plans in the future.

In fact, as you said, after the death of the lord, that guy Tokugawa Ieyasu really planned to bring disaster to the world. Fortunately, I dealt with it in time and suppressed him.Speaking of this, there is still some credit for you here."

Before Hideyoshi could react to such a thoughtless conversation, Hideyoshi turned to Hideaki and said, "He Song, I'm afraid you don't know, if it wasn't for your elder brother who attacked Mikawa back then, my father was in Nobi The war with the Tokugawa will not show results."

"My son has also heard this matter from my mother and Lord Jibu many times. They often say that His Highness Toyoharu Dainagon is a hero who can rule the world, and my son should learn more from him when he grows up."

Hearing Hideyoshi and Hideaki's compliments, Hideo said with trepidation, "That's because of my father's wise decision, who helped me attract attention from the direction of Nobi, and created opportunities for me, so I have the possibility of success.

Now His Highness Tokugawa succumbs to his father, isn't it just a sign of his father's wisdom? "

"Hehehe, maybe it is." Hideyoshi didn't take Hideyoshi's words, and after laughing a few times, the topic suddenly changed, and asked Hideyoshi, "You saw the anxious situation of Nobuo back then, but can you?" Go straight back to the skills to reorganize the army, and lead the army to Sanhe again. That is you who are only 13 years old, but what a youthful spirit.

What made you become what you are now, that you and Senator Gamo have lived in Kyoto for 5 years, but have never dealt with government affairs once.

You were asked to lead the army to North Korea, but you repeatedly found reasons to delay Hachiro. You have changed so much that I can't recognize you. "

Xiujia listened to Hideyoshi complaining about his timidity in dealing with things, and couldn't help mmp in his heart, "Why did I become like this, don't you know, you old man?"

But on the surface, he responded like this: "The child was alone in the past, and all he thought was to sacrifice his life to repay the father's upbringing.

But now that Hai'er has Ju Ji and Xiao Hachiro, he has more or less taken care of, and it's ashamed to say that Hai'er has indeed been worn out. "

"This is not a reason Hachiro." Hideyoshi interrupted Hideo's explanation and said, "If you were not willing to go to Korea, you would not have personally acted in the previous war to support the Ming Dynasty's expedition to Jianzhou.

Besides, this is not enough to explain why you have been unwilling to take care of things during the past few years when you were in charge of the capital. "

"At that time, my uncle was still living in the building, and Kamoo was able to manage the affairs properly. I really couldn't think of any place where I should intervene. On the contrary, my son was happy to enjoy the family relationship with his family.

As for the establishment of the state, it was because the two countries had just negotiated peace at that time, and Hai'er didn't want to cause the two countries to fight again because of Hai'er. At that time, Hai'er didn't know what would happen next. "

"No!" Hideyoshi interrupted Hideyoshi again, "The reason why you are willing to go to North Korea is because I insist on reducing the title of Koichiro, right? In fact, you still have anger in your heart, as if you deliberately delayed the mobilization this time. You You're angry at my father for being unfair, aren't you?"

"How dare a child behave like this"

"Because you are angry with me, angry with me, when you were still in Jianzhou, I issued a general mobilization order to launch another war against North Korea, and you didn't care about your safety, did you!"

Hideyoshi's last sentence was almost a growl, and he sternly questioned Hideyoshi.

Hearing this reason from Hideyoshi's mouth, Hideyoshi stared at Hideyoshi in disbelief.

Xiujia only told Xiuzhen about this unhappiness in his heart, so how did Hideyoshi know about it?Could it be that Xiuzhen informed Ishida Mitsunari when she was in Koriyama, and teased out her plan?
Thinking of this, Hideka's forehead began to break out in cold sweat, and he looked at Ishida Mitsunari, who had been silently accompanying him, trying to get a clue from his eyes.

When Ishida Mitsunari saw Hideyoshi getting angry, he took the initiative to persuade Hideyoshi to calm down. Hideyoshi gave him a look and said, "I'm fine, it's nothing to do with you, Saki!"

Ishida Mitsunari, who was so stunned by Hideyoshi, returned to the previous expression of a dead fish face, which made xi
Hideka, who couldn't get an answer from Ishida Mitsunari, could only think through his own thoughts.

Or maybe it wasn't Xiuzhen who said it, so who would be the one who knew about Xiu's plan?Did he tell Ju Ji by accident in his sleep?

The Xiu family has kept their plan in their hearts for many years, even Xiuzhen only knows a superficial idea.

Could it be that Yixin Chongchuan or Tianhai, who confide in themselves, told Hideyoshi about their sufferings over the years?
If this is true, isn't all this a game?

But why did Xiuzhen betray herself?Could it be that he betrayed the Gifu family by accepting Hidehisa's transfer from Gifu to Okayama?
However, Hideyoshi hadn't figured it out yet, and Hideyoshi, who was sitting on the imperial steps, pressed on step by step, "Answer me, Hachiro. Do you have hatred for me in your heart? Hate that I didn't give you the reward you deserved?" , Hate me for ordering North Korea to be reconquered regardless of your safety, hate me for disposing of your younger brother, hate me for not handing over the world to you, a 'capable minister'?"

If the first few sentences almost broke the Xiu family's psychological defense, the last sentence completely awakened the Xiu family.

"Is this Hideyoshi's reaction after knowing all the facts from Xiuzhen? Will he ask Xiujia the words 'Do you hate that you didn't hand over the world to Xiujia'?"

The answer is obviously no!If he already knew all this, I'm afraid Hideyoshi wouldn't even bother to ask the Hide family a word.

Even with Hideyoshi's character, he didn't bother to have so many foreshadowing in front of him, so he directly sent someone to send an inquiry letter to the Xiu family, asking the Xiu family to go to Luo to explain.

If the Xiu family refused, they would directly send troops to fight the Xiu family.Lie people over and coax them, and then have a "Baihutang change"?This is not like a routine that Hideyoshi would play.

Thinking of this, Xiujia's mentality calmed down a little. As Hideyoshi's urging voice gradually became more and more urgent, Xiujia knew that it was time for him to make a decision.

But what is the correct answer?Should I fight back, or should I be the last one?
Xiujia suddenly thought of the question Yixin Chongchuan asked himself when discussing with Yixin Chongchuan before, "Does Your Highness know what your biggest advantage is over Guan Bai?"

At that time, Xiujia didn't make guesses like in the film and television works, but gave two answers very keenly, "I know how to fight than Guan Bai, and I am younger than Guan Bai."

It was the latter answer that was approved by Yixin Chongchuan, and this was also the reason why the Xiu family made up their minds not to delay, but to lead the troops to Shangluo.

"I have endured it for so many years, can't I not bear it at the last moment?"

Xiujia asked in his heart, and his heart quickly gave the answer. With the blessing of Oscar-like acting skills, Xiujia showed a panic and aggrieved expression, and threw the pot away again. To Hideyoshi said:
"Does Haier feel different from his father? If there is no father, Haier would have died in Tianzheng 2 years ago, how could he have achieved his current achievements.

My father gave me all of this. If my father doesn’t believe in my son, I’d rather take it all away. Why bother to test my son so many times.

Father knows, compared to my father ignoring my safety and announcing the second conquest, what makes me more uncomfortable is the repeated mistrust of my father! "

Said Xiujia raised his right hand, took off the little finger with the prosthetic limb and said, "Father, in order to prove the child's loyalty to you, the child can't even hold a samurai sword, and has lost the freedom of being a samurai to wear a sword. Is this not enough?"
