Prime Minister Bizen

Chapter 706 Still a seat (5.1K chapters)

This is actually a very expensive public etiquette. Japan's cultural etiquette borrowed from the Tang system, and it has already had its own routines after the cultural supplements of the Song and Jin dynasties.

The Toyotomi family was the previous Guanbai family, even if Toyotomi Hideyoshi himself was born with mud legs, and the Toyotomi family has been the Gongqing family for so many years, there are always samurai in charge of rituals in the city, how could they not think of such a simple solution.

The reason why Ono Changzhi and Chacha put Ning Ning's position at the back before was nothing more than wanting to give Ning Ning a blow.

But if you want to show off others and swear sovereignty to yourself, you have to weigh your own weight.Standing behind Beizhengsuo are not only Asano Nagamasa and his son, Kinoshita Isada, Kobayakawa Hideaki and his son, but also Toyotomi Hideka and Toyotomi Hideji and others!

Doesn't Ning Ning's humiliation mean that they have been humiliated?
It's just that when the negotiation and just ended, the trust between each other is still very fragile.Before the Xiu family entered the city, they had told other people to make a proper concession and maintain the hard-won peace.

Following the seating of the Beizheng Office and Ning Ning, all the big names sat in their seats.The five big brothers attended the top, followed by the seniors of the third middle school and ten people.

The identities of Xiujia and Xiuci are very embarrassing, their identities are completely comparable to the five big bosses, but because of their poor identities, they cannot actually attend today's meeting.

Looking at the position behind Xiuzhen, Xiujia was stunned for a moment, but still chose to sit there while everyone was watching.

In fact, when everyone was seated according to their seats, they were already ready to watch a good show, but Xiujia actually acquiesced in that position, which surprised many people present.

The honest man Uesugi Jingsheng saw that Xiujia was not angry because of Osaka's negligence, and nodded to Xiujia in approval.A scheming man like Tokugawa Ieyasu felt a strong sense of crisis after seeing Hideka's performance.

Unlike Xiujia who accepted it calmly, Toyotomi Hideji did not have such a good temper.When he saw Osaka, he was given a step-by-step, and everyone was blown up at the position below the high level of Beijing.

However, this is exactly what Osaka expects to see.Ono Choji saw that Hideji was not seated, so he stood up and went to Kyogoko's next seat again, and said, "Your Majesty Gifu, please take a seat."

It's like saying "Come on, baby, this is your place, please sit down."

Xiuci definitely didn't want to sit at the end, the fact that Xiu's family could endure such humiliation didn't mean that Xiuci could bear it, otherwise he wouldn't have taken the name of Xiguo to go to Luo.

"That's not my place. It's really rude to repair it. You need to know that I'm Toyotomi's vassal Gifu million stone daimyo, how can I be in the last place?"

When Ohno Choji heard Hideji's words, he showed a suddenly realized expression and said, "It turns out that the Gifu 80 koku is in front of you, and it's not enough to give you a gift. But this is indeed your position. Feng Xing, ten people, foreign daimyo, you should be at the bottom today."

When Nagaji Ono spoke, he bit the "Gifu 80 koku" to death, fearing that others who had Hideji's 20 koku reduced this time would not know.

In the end, he introduced Toyotomi's power system to Hideji again, and said that today is not a big evaluation. The big evaluation will be attended by all the knowledgeable people and officials. Today is the internal evaluation of Toyotomi's family, which is arranged according to the Toyotomi power system seats.

But what you need to know is that in Toyotomi's power system, Toyotomi Hideji's younger brother Toyotomi Hidetsuma is a middle-aged and old man with 20 yuan, and Hideho and Wakayama's 10 people are ten people!

Even if Xiubao experienced a reduction in title this time, the title of Ten People above him was not deprived.Now that the two younger brothers were sitting on top of him, the jealousy in Xiuci's heart was ignited again.

What Changji Ohno said is a big reason, but if you really know etiquette so well, how could you just do something that made Beizheng Institute and Chacha compete for a seat?
He didn't follow the system just now, but now he deliberately emphasizes the etiquette and system at this time, no matter how you look at it, it's eye-salting for Xiuci.

You must know that Hideka used a name that violated the system with the knife on the head of Osaka daimyo, and now Choji Ono uses the system to suppress him. I have to say that he is really smart.

His goal at the beginning must be Xiujia and Xiuji, but he would never have imagined that the Hidejia, who owns 250 million stone daimyo in the Kanto region, is manipulating the world's famous names and the emperor to coerce and suppress the two parties to complete a peace negotiation, and he has a huge advantage. After gaining political prestige, he could still endure his treatment.

Seeing that Hideji was still lingering in the hall without seeing any action, Choji Ono said in a slightly mocking tone, "His Majesty Gifu doesn't want to sit here, so where will His Highness Gifu sit?"

What he said made people want to kill him.

Hideji is really in a dilemma right now, if he sits at the end at this time, it is tantamount to admitting cowardice to Osaka.But if you don't sit in the past, all the bosses will look at you and wait for you to sit down. If you don't sit down, the meeting will not go on.

Just at this time, the Beizheng Office who was sitting on the imperial steps said, "Go and find a cushion for His Highness Gifu, let's sit at the bottom of the imperial steps. Find a cushion for His Highness Toyoharu, let the two sit side by side."

The evaluation room in Japan is a very large hall. The only high platform in the hall is the imperial steps, which are generally about 20 cm higher than the ground.Generally, the evaluation room is made of wooden boards, but the imperial steps will use tatami mats, which are relatively soft and comfortable.

Don't look at the gap of only 20 centimeters, this is the distance between the king and the subject.For so many years, only Toyotomi Hidecho was allowed to sit on the imperial steps by Hideyoshi when participating in the evaluation.

In the middle of the imperial steps, there is usually a small high platform about 10 cm, which is the seat of the governor.

There are attendants and clerks on the left and right behind the Governor's seat. One is responsible for recording the Governor's orders, and the other is responsible for holding the Governor's saber. During important ceremonies, an attendant will be added to hold the important props of the family symbol.

Generally, when the house governor is young or unable to govern, the elder of the family will attend as a non-voting delegate, face the ministers sideways, and preside over the political affairs instead of the house governor.

However, they usually sit at the first position under the right-hand imperial steps of the patriarch, and are half to one position higher than other retainers.

When Hideka was held in Hideyoshi's arms to support the Uki family's affairs when he was a child, the elder Ukita Tadaka, who was actually in charge of the family affairs, sat under the imperial steps and made arrangements in front of many ministers.

In other words, the 20 centimeters of the imperial steps are the natural gap between the ruler and his ministers. When you cross this gap, your status in the family is already superior to other retainers.

Many people understand that this is a position of hindsight, but it is not.This position has a certain overlap with hindsight, but there is no relationship of containing or being contained.

Naoshige Nabeshima is an afterthought of the politicians of Ryuzoji Temple, but he still can only sit under the imperial steps when dealing with the affairs of the Ryuzoji Temple family, and sit higher than other retainers.

You must know that the meaning of hindsight is the guardian, and in a certain period of time in law, it has the nature of exceeding the order of the ward, but the relationship between the ruler and the minister cannot be messed up.

In the future, I saw that there were also those who sat on the imperial steps, that is, Liujia Yixian, who gave up his position to his son Liujia Yizhi, sat on the imperial steps to the right of the family governor for a long time, and continued to take charge of family affairs.

Now the Beizheng Institute wants to let Hideji and Hidekazuo come to the imperial steps, which is a precedent, which means that they may become the identity of Hidecho Toyotomi's relationship with the Toyotomi family.

As a loyal minister of Toyotomi, Mitsunari Ishida knelt down on the ground and prayed to the Beizhengsuo when he heard the order of the Beizhengsuo, "It must not be done, the Palace of the Beizhengsuo!
His Royal Highnesses Toyoharu and Gifu are both courtiers, and they are not within Toyotomi's authority. How can they sit on top of many big bosses?This fact is in violation of Toyotomi's family law! "

Since you have been making use of us in Osaka for violating the law, we will talk to you about the law now.After Ning Ning of the Northern Political Bureau came to Osaka, the first order violated the law. How can you still be in power next.

Moreover, Mitsunari Ishida also brought in other bigwigs, bluntly saying that Hideka and Hideji, two white-bodied daimyos (outside Toyotomi's power system), actually sat on top of you, don't you say a few words?

You big names, look at me, I look at you, you are waiting for others to speak first to set the tone.

After all, the identities of Xiujia and Xiuci are too special. Both of them are the adopted sons of Xianguan Bai Xiuji, and they are both super daimyos who play a role in the core and huge territory.

The Xiu family's good brother Toyotomi Xiuzhen was the first to speak. Although he was happy that the Xiu family could sit beside him, he hoped that the Xiu family could improve to a higher level. After all, the Xiu family represented the interests of all their Kanto daimyos.

He stood up directly and said impassionedly: "His Royal Highness Toyotomi is the son of Guan Bai, and he acts as a daimyo of 9 million stones in the territory of nine countries. It is also because he contacted the daimyos to call for peace that did not cause the chaos of Yingren. Yu Toyotomi's family With great merit, why can't you be a non-voting attendee!"

Hachisuka's housekeeping followed Hideji from Kyushu to Amagasaki from the beginning to the end, and was forcibly saved by Hideya just like that, and Mao Zhixing was not reduced. Naturally, he is very grateful to Hideya.

Following Feng Chenxiuzhen's statement, he also expressed his position, "Yes, if His Highness Fengchun sits under me, it will only make me feel like I'm sitting on pins and needles. The excuse for repairing just now is also extremely absurd. His Highness Fengchun has not yet rewarded for such a great contribution. , since there is no basis, then reward the legal principles.”

Both of them are one of the ten people, but they both deliberately only mentioned Xiujia and not Xiuci, because in their opinion, Xiuci is not worthy to be compared with Xiujia.

With two big bosses taking the lead, Yoshiharu Horio, the cunning one among the three middle school seniors, immediately stated, "His Highness Toyoharu and the Toyotomi family have made contributions, and they deserve their place."

After that came Asano Nagamasa, who was one of the core retainers of the Northern Political Bureau. The two must have discussed the future political actions in Kyoto before.

Now that the Beizheng Institute is taking the lead, Asano Nagamasa, who was dissatisfied with Chacha and Ohno Choji because of the previous incident, also expressed his opinion, "His Royal Highness Toyoharu and His Highness Gifu are the best in knowledge and practice, and their merits and abilities are also outstanding. Their Prime Minister Toyotomi's regime can operate more stably.

Since ancient times, when the ancestor died and the lord was in doubt, there has always been a tradition of clan relatives serving as hindsight.The current situation of the Toyotomi family is exactly like this. In my opinion, there is no one more suitable to serve as the second meeting of His Royal Highness Xiuli than the two sons of the Toyotomi family. "

Good guy, Asano Nagamasa has even thought up an excuse to give the two of them a boost!
You must know that hindsight is equivalent to the guardian of the Patriarch, who has the right to lead the Patriarch to issue orders before the Patriarch reaches adulthood, and even in many situations such as military expeditions and diplomacy, his orders have a higher legal priority than the young Young Master. . (Probably because he was afraid that the young master would give orders indiscriminately.)
Asano Nagamasa immediately found two dads for Xiuli, and directly stared at the other bigwigs present.

"I don't think it's appropriate." Kazushi Nakamura who said, don't look at him returning to Japan with the Hide family and helping the Hide family to broker peace talks. He seems to be on the Hide family's side, but in fact he is the hardcore core of the Toyotomi family.

He was introduced in the previous article. He was born in Iga. He became Hideyoshi's earliest ninja who could use iron cannons when Hideyoshi was not yet developed, and he has been reused continuously since then.No matter in this life or in history, they are all daimyos of the lord level of more than [-] shi.

Of course, in the history of Sekigahara, he belonged to the Eastern Army, and carrying it with him does not mean that he is not loyal to the Toyotomi family. Under the general trend of the world in history, if Nakamura, who was granted the title of Suruga, joined the Western Army, he would be the first to join the Western Army. The one who was crushed by Tokugawa Ieyasu must be him.

Historically, their family only received 3 stone seals, and they were moved from the rich Suruga to the barren Hoki. Even Tokugawa Ieyasu couldn't trust him.

Although he refuted Ishida Mitsunari at the scene of the peace talks before, it was because Ishida Mitsunari spoke too much and directly denied Toyotomi's authority system, which made him have to speak.

Now that Naga Asano's political leaders have pushed Hideka and Hideji to jump above the system, and there is even a possibility that the Toyotomi family may be emptied, Nakamura Kazushi, who is a loyal minister of the Toyotomi family, naturally wants to stop it.

The Nakamura family expressed their position: "And His Royal Highness Xiuli has already taken over, so there is no need to see later. Besides, Guan Bai has arranged for five big bosses to assist the young master, and now the Beizheng Office and Mrs. Dian are overseeing the government. It needs to be re-established, and I will make a decision for the young master."

Nakamura's words were a life-saving straw for Ohno Changji and Chacha.

After Asano Nagamasa was promoted to the big boss, he is the head of the three middle elders. You must know that the middle elders have the duty to supervise Toyotomi's power system, so his speech is actually quite important.

At this time, if there is another middle-aged elder or big boss who refutes Asano Nagamasa's suggestion, it will surely bring other big bosses to follow suit. After all, no one wants someone to override him.

Chacha looked hopefully at her brother-in-law Toyotomi Hidekatsu, hoping that he could speak to refute Asano Nagamasa's suggestion.

But since the previous peace negotiations, Toyotomi Hidekatsu, who is middle-aged and old, has often kept silent.He is not a taciturn person, in Xiujia's opinion, this is caused by too much pressure on him from within the family.

After all, his wife's older sister is Chacha, who forced him to join the Eastern Army, but his own brother and younger brother are both from the Western Army, what do you ask him to say?No matter which side you stand in, you will not get a good result.

"Brother deserves that position." After experiencing a brutal ideological struggle, and after receiving the attention of everyone, Toyotomi Hidekatsu still stood on Hideji's side.

As his words fell, Ikeda Teruma, among the ten members, also said: "Gifu and Toyoharu are the largest relatives of the Toyotomi family, and they will definitely make decisions on behalf of the Toyotomi family.

The two adults have served as daimyo Mushoufang for many years and have many years of experience in handling government affairs.Besides, the two wives are women's relatives after all, so they can't show their faces every time they are judged. Having two His Royal Highnesses present on their behalf can not only save a lot of things, but also preserve their reputation. "

Ikeda Teruma was an ally of Hideo a long time ago, but you must know that Ikeda Teruma gradually alienated Hideo a year ago, because Hideo was being targeted by Hideyoshi at that time, and many daimyos could not see Hideo The future, scrambling to jump ship.

Unexpectedly, one year has passed, the Hide family after Hideyoshi's death is strong, and there is a faint possibility of controlling the power of the Toyotomi family.

As a group of ten people, Ikeda Huizheng already has the right to promote and supervise the government, and he wants to give the show a hand at this time.If the Xiu family can successfully marry me, I can be regarded as a servant of the dragon.

And what he said has actually made it very clear.

That means: none of you five big brothers speaks for the Toyotomi family, and the Beizhengsuo and Chacha are women who don't know how to make decisions about government affairs.At this time, there must be Xiujia and Xiuci who are familiar with government affairs to make decisions for the two wives.

In fact, he still didn't say a word, "Who knows if you five big brothers will bully the two wives who don't understand government affairs, and bully the Toyotomi family!"

So what he said is actually a very clear statement of honor, because what he said is almost equivalent to offending many people in the five big bosses and the senior middle school. Location is likely to be marginalized.

However, is it possible that Hideyoshi and Hideji are not in the top position?At such a critical time, with such powerful strength and prestige, if you don't advance, you will retreat!He believed that the two of them would never let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

With his statement, more than half of the ten people, excluding Hori Hideji, Fukushima Masanori, Kato Kiyomasa, and Toyotomi Hidehisa who were not present, have expressed their support for Hideo and Hideji.

In addition, two of the three middle-aged and elders have already occupied most of them.Even if Ishida Mitsunari, Masuda Nagamori and others strongly oppose it, it is useless.Because under Toyotomi's power system, Feng Xun does not have the right to make decisions, they only have the right to execute.

Among the five big bosses, Uesugi doesn't really care about the five big boss system. Mori Terumoto is famous for playing soy sauce. Maeda Toshiie dare not touch Hideka's bad luck here. Asano Nagamasa has already stated his position.

In the case of 5 out of 3 people paddling, even if Tokugawa Ieyasu wanted to refuse, he didn't want to be the first bird. This was contrary to his "ninja way", so he nodded by default.

In this way, Xiujia and Xiuci sat on the imperial steps in the name of seeing each other later, the two wives and Xiuli's subordinates.

Of course, there is also an episode here. Originally, Xiu's status should be the most expensive, and Xiuci should be on the left.

But Xiuci just sat on the right seat so unceremoniously, the Xiu family didn't care about him here, and verbally said in Shanghai to find a step for him, "Brother Sun Qi is older than me, so he should be on the right."

　When I was writing this novel, I was prepared that there would be many noobs who didn’t understand the history and background at that time, so I tried to write it as superficially as possible.

　　But when I saw the number one favorite in yesterday's chapter, "Any little samurai" can scold Xiujia, saying that it was me when I was in the water, and I really couldn't hold back.

　　Ono Choji is the modern writing of Toyotomi’s family governor, and his status is very detached. It is a bit similar to the Chinese eunuch + censor doctor. It is his job to maintain Toyotomi’s authority. Historically, Katagiri Kamoto reprimanded the daimyo instead of Hideyoshi.

　　You may not understand why Ohno Choji can scold Hideka, and Hideka does not resist.But please don't say I wrote it scribbled, say I wrote it.

　　Still the same sentence: This is not Brainless Shuangwen, not Longao Tianwen.Even if Hideyoshi is dead, the Hideo family has to follow the rules.

　　What the Xiu family wanted to learn was Cao Cao, not Huan Xuan.
