Prime Minister Bizen

Chapter 715 Great Evaluation

What Toyotomi Hideji said about being assassinated last night, Xiujia naturally brought it into his own perspective, after all, he did send someone up to investigate the information yesterday.

But I didn't intend to send someone to assassinate Xiuci!
Now that the corpse is in the hands of others, the purpose of sending them here is not to let the other party talk about it.The Xiu family can only hope that no one was caught alive yesterday, not to mention that he gave a confession.

Sending ninjas to daimyo is like the United States spying on the whole world.Although you know that the United States is monitoring you, you have no evidence in your hands, and everyone is still peaceful on the surface.

However, if this matter is exposed as in the past few days, especially if the United States monitors allies, it will be like a slap in the face of other countries, which will greatly damage the reputation of the United States.

The Hide family doesn't know how much Toyotomi Hideji knows, and if Hideji took the initiative to find him, could he be teasing him that he has the evidence?
"Since the disbanding of the army was made a mistake that day, everything has really gone wrong."

At this moment, the Xiu family was very troubled, and their minds were not at all focused on today's big evaluation, they were all thinking about what to do next.

Today's Toyotomi family's grand appraisal, the so-called grand appraisal can be understood as a national daimyo conference.Like the later generations, it was a meeting in itself, and all key issues were discussed and discussed in the evaluation of the five leaders in the past few days.

This is the so-called big talk about small things, small talks about big things.

But even after the adjournment of the evaluation meeting of the five big names a few days ago, many award evaluations have been spread up and down in Osaka City, but as long as today's evaluation is not held, and it is not read in front of all the daimyos, it will not count.

At this time, Xiujia and Xiuci did not sit on the imperial steps, because it was the grand evaluation, and the grand evaluation had a strict etiquette process.

Before the grand appraisal announces their successors Houjian and Ruonianji, their nominal official identities are still white.Even though Zhixing is one of the best among daimyos, his seat is still below the top five.

"Sage Monarch Guanbai Toyotomi Hideyoshi passed away in Kyoto on June 3, 6rd year of Qingchang. The feudal lords heard this, and they were heartbroken. The people of the country heard this, and their hearts were restless.

Now after the evaluation and recommendation of the five big bosses, the two wives of Beizhengsuo and Dianji confirmed that the former emperor had a son called Fengchen Shiwan, who was 3 years old.Diligent and submissive, graceful and pure, with a gentle nature, he can be established as the governor of Fengchen's family.

Today, his Yuanfu is named Xiuli, carrying the important task of revitalizing Fengchen, supported by five big bosses, and supervised by the two wives of Beizheng Suoning and Dianjicha, and tell the world to reassure the hearts of the people.

He followed the order of Maeda Gento to build a mausoleum to comfort the ancestors, so that Haoen could inherit the ancestral temple; the five chiefs, Tokugawa Ieyasu and other chiefs, discussed and confirmed the gods and precepts of the ancestors to demonstrate their merits.

The funeral of Sekibaku Hideyoshi was initially scheduled to be held in Osaka on October 10, and all famous people, ministers and ordinary people in Osaka were required to attend. "

This is the announcement of Hideyoshi's death and funeral, read out by Ieyasu Tokugawa, the temporary writer of the family.

Even though Hideyoshi and Yamashiro Dai Nayan were dead, everyone in the world already knew about it.But without a formal announcement, he is nominally alive forever.

But the most important thing about this announcement is not to read the news of Hideyoshi's death, but to announce to everyone that the heir of the Toyotomi family has confirmed that Hideyoshi will inherit it.

After Tokugawa Ieyasu announced this matter, even though Xiuli had not officially held a succession ceremony, he was already the governor of the Toyotomi family in the minds of many Toyotomi daimyos.

As Tokugawa Ieyasu turned to face the two wives and Xiuli sitting on the imperial steps, under his leadership, more than a hundred daimyos inside and outside the Ohiro room performed the etiquette of courtiers to the child in Chacha's arms and swore an oath I will serve Hideyoshi as much as I did to Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

After the matter here, Tokugawa Ieyasu faced everyone again, took the second order from Toyotomi's attendant and read out:

"Fengchen Guanbai passed away, the country was mourning, the new king was established, and he inherited the filial piety to rule the country. However, there is a thief Katagiri in Yamato and Yuan deceives the upper and lower, with evil intentions.

As a result, Nagon Hideji and other daimyos in the Great Domain of Gifu were worried about the convenience of state affairs, and led troops to King Luoqin. Now the punishments are as follows after the evaluation of the five big bosses:
The big brother Maeda Toshiie is lazy at work and doesn't think about respect and manners, which makes the supervisory government unfavorable and the situation is too great.Removal of the position of the big brother, change of Yi Noto, Etchu, and Hida to the three kingdoms, and transfer 50 yuan to Fukuoka before the feudal construction.

Toyotomi Hideji, the lord of the Great Domain of Gifu, was arrogant and rude. He was not ordered to lead troops to Shangluo, and the title of Ise was reduced to 20 shi as a warning.

"

As the pen of the five great masters, Tokugawa Ieyasu sat in the first place at the bottom of the Ohiroma in Osaka Castle, thinking blankly of the daimyos in the audience who read out the dispositions determined during the previous peace talks, as well as the bosses' comments a few days ago The reward was determined at the time.

"Thanks to the merits of the lords, the prosperity of Fengchen can be reproduced. After the evaluation of the five big bosses, the two wives and the two supervisors later decided to award the rewards as follows:

In the previous turmoil, the person who made great contributions should be Toyoharu Dai Nayan, and Toyotomi Hideo's family has 65 stone collars in Shimono, Ibaraki, Kamiso, Yamashiro and other places. I hope you will remember Toyotomi's kindness and continue to serve the public wholeheartedly in the future.

The daimyo of Hosokawa Tadakashi, the Tango who achieved the second round of meritorious service."

After reading out the order of disposition and reward, Tokugawa Ieyasu opened another volume of pleadings and began to announce to the daimyos the changes in important positions in Toyotomi's power system.

"Today's position has been determined, and the sage is coming to court. However, the young master should have good ministers to assist the prime minister.

After the comments of the five chiefs and the confirmation of the two wives, the Great Feudal Lord of Gifu, his brother Toyotomi Nagogen Hideji, is an afterthought, and the upper seat is acting as the governor;

The lord of Fengchun, his brother Fengchen Da Nayanxiu's family is Ruo Nianji, and he takes the high seat to lead the world's martial arts on his behalf.

Toyotomi Hidekashi, the lord of Kitazhisho Domain, is a big boss who participates in the evaluation of political affairs, and one of the ten people, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the lord of the Iwashiro-Koriyama Domain, is added as the middle-aged supervisor and arbitrator of all matters."

The identities of the Xiu family and the others were not officially confirmed until the edict was read out in front of everyone.

Of course, during the reading process, as Tokugawa Ieyasu read out the corresponding names, the corresponding people left their original seats, bowed their heads and walked humbly to the middle, and after praising and thanking Shuri on the imperial steps, they sat down. Go up to your new position.

Although Xiujia and Xiuci had already sat on the imperial steps in the small meeting in the previous two days, until today their identities were officially announced in the grand appraisal, their identities sitting on the imperial steps were regarded as being accepted. really recognized.

This is the ritual system, which is obviously only a formality, but it is a very important step in politics.

As Xiujia and Xiuji walked up the imperial steps and turned to sit facing the daimyos, their identities had surpassed the daimyos, from the status of "subject" to "jun".

Of course, although this [Jun] is not the real [Jun], he only has part of the functions of [Jun], but as one of the five big men, Tokugawa Ieyasu still has to lead everyone to salute the two of them again.

After all the procedures were completed, the sun had already reached the center, and Xiuli in Chacha's arms was already unsure of where to sit. If Chacha hadn't been coaxing her all the time, she would have been scurrying around the entire hall.

Seeing that the entire assessment process had been completed, Chacha could no longer hold Xiuli in her arms, so she broke free and walked straight down.

When the daimyo saw the governor of Toyotomi coming down, they lowered their noble heads one after another. Even Hideka and Hideji, who were sitting on the imperial steps, leaned forward slightly to salute him.

Unexpectedly, this child actually went straight to Tokugawa Ieyasu and snatched the imperial order just read out from his hand.

Under the horrified eyes of everyone, the young Xiuli actually put a corner of the order into her mouth, making a gesture to eat it.But after finding that the order made by Bubo couldn't be bitten, he threw the order to the ground again.

You can say that Xiuli was young and ignorant, and didn't know the weight of this order.

However, as a young house governor, he tore up the imperial order to promote Xiujia, Xiuci and others, which somewhat cast a shadow on the promotion ceremony of Xiujia and others.

Although Xiujia and Xiuci had already sat on the imperial steps and had the status of "lord", it was not suitable for them to carry Xiuli back at this moment, so they could only look at Beizhengsuo and Chacha with their eyes.

The Beizheng Office was very cooperative and ordered the attendants on the left and right to bring the lord Xiuli back, but Chacha didn't show the slightest sign when she saw this situation.

It wasn't until Xiuli pulled Tokugawa Ieyasu's beard with her hand when she was carried away, that Chacha called out in shock, "Quickly let go of Shiwan, how could you be so rude?"

When Shimaru was carried back into Chacha's arms, Chacha only apologized to Tokugawa Ieyasu, and did not take into account that Shuri's actions just now had an impact on Hideo and Hideji.

Perhaps because of the embarrassment of the situation, the Beizheng Office said in a timely manner: "Since the pre-assessed matters have been read out, let's stop today's evaluation. Dian Ji and the young master and I will retire first, and then I will trouble you two." And the five big guys presided over it."

The Beizheng Office's voice fell, and then they left the Daguang Room under the quiet gift of everyone.

But Chacha deliberately took Xiuli a step late, and insisted on saying, "Today is really troublesome Tokugawa Danayan, and then I invite everyone to leave in an orderly manner."

Even Ishida and Tokugawa, who were sitting below, couldn't help frowning at Chacha's actions. I'm afraid they were thinking the same as Xiujia at the moment. Won’t the government deal with it?”

As the three of them left, Hideo and Hideji sat on the imperial steps, accepting the resignation requests of the daimyos one by one.

It wasn't until the Hide family, Hideji, five big bosses, and ten people were left in the hall that Tokugawa Ieyasu said, "Please wait a while, let's move between the chrysanthemums to discuss His Highness's divine name and ring name." Come up with a result."

This is another small assessment, and the final result needs to be announced at Hideyoshi's funeral in a few days after the establishment of Chacha and the Beizheng Office.

It's just that the daimyos present here don't have a thorough study of sinology and theology, so they don't need to think about the name at all. The precept name is provided by the Buddhist monks, and the god name needs to be discussed by them, and finally reported to the emperor for confirmation.

Due to what happened yesterday and morning, the Xiu family spent the whole day wandering away, and did not comment on today's assessment.Hideyoshi's god name was still designated as "Toyoko Daimyojin" at the suggestion of Hideyoshi and others, and his commandment was Lingshan Junlong Daijushi of Guotai Temple.

All of them are excellent nicknames, which shows how high Hideyoshi's status is raised by everyone.

The reason why Xiujia has been wandering outside is because he is thinking about how he should go next.

Xiujia originally thought that by mediating the two sides, the credit for stabilizing the world would be to command the world in Osaka.But the reality slapped Xiujia hard.

Even the Owari faction that Hideka has always believed to be his backing is not necessarily completely for his own use.

The Xiu family still ignored the thoughts of people's hearts. He originally thought that he had saved Beizhengsuo, and now that he was so strong, Beizhengsuo should naturally move closer to him, but he never thought that she would get involved with Xiuci.

In the final analysis, Xiuji is just his adopted son who has nothing to do with him.And Xiuci said that he was his husband's nephew, and he was closer than Xiu's family no matter what.

Although Xiuci was suppressed by the Xiu family before, he is still a big name with 80 shi, and the three brothers' knowledge has reached 115 million shi, and they occupy 3 important seats.

In addition, Asano Nagamasa, Kinoshita Isada, and Kobayakawa Hideaki, the three Ningning brothers and nephews, as well as the core figures of the Noo School, the Zhixing of Hori Hideji, Fukushima Masanori, Kato Kiyomasa, and the Noo School Zhixing has exceeded 250 million shi, and this is not counting the Zhixing of other miscellaneous small daimyos.

Even if this size is compared with the current Xiu family of 300 million shi, it is still not too much. The daimyos present here are not the vassals of the Xiu family, but they are united only because of the same interests and common enemies.

Moreover, their spiritual leader is not Xiujia but Ningning, so when Ningning's thoughts differ from Xiujia's, why should they be influenced by Xiujia.

"I'm still too immature." Xiujia's mind wandered outside, and he said to himself a little discouraged in his head, "I think politics is too simple."

He even had the idea of ​​turning the table over and quitting, "Anyway, the rewards for knowledge and practice have been implemented now. If it doesn't work, I'll go back to Kanto and ignore the bird matter in Osaka City."

"But if this is the case, all the rights of Toyotomi's core regime that I have worked so hard to win will be in vain.

The cost of silence is really too high, I really don't want to let it go so cheaply, boy Xiuci! "Thinking of the Xiu family here, I couldn't help but glared at Xiuci who was at the side.

"When I returned to Kanto, I was completely disconnected from Toyotomi's authority and the daimyo of the world, and I also lost the opportunity to control the daimyo's name. From now on, the affairs of the world will no longer be controlled by myself, and all opportunities can only be waited for. up!

Is it really necessary to hide in the small building and become a unified body, regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter?

But even if he went back, he had to find a good excuse. In history, Uesugi returned to the territory soon without warning, and started armaments in the territory.In the face of Tokugawa's request in the name of Hideyoshi, he was crusaded when he asked Sanqin to explain why he should not?

Before Hideyoshi's death, Hideyoshi's thinking was the law, but after Hideyoshi's death, the daimyos paid more attention to using the name of righteousness, and I must not fall into the trap of others. "

"Oh~ whatever. Since they are so afraid of me, Ruo Nianji, I simply jumped out of Osaka City and let them play on this stage, so I can save myself."

The more she thought about it, the more worried Xiujia shook her head helplessly, shaking off all the thoughts in her mind.At this moment, he just wants to be bad, use up today's assessment time, and then find any reason to resign from the Beizheng Office and go back to Kanto.

"Before, I was just preemptively taking advantage of the time traveler's knowledge of the world's affairs. Today's history has turned, Xiuci is still alive, and history is no longer reference.

Instead of taking risks in the whirlpool of Osaka, it is better to learn from Chonger Xiaobai and escape from the capital to survive.

It's just that in this way, it will hurt Xiuzhen who was left here, how disappointed he will be with me.Ikeda, Tsutsui, and Hosokawa, who have just joined the group, see me running away so shamelessly, are you willing to join forces with me next time?"

　The first half of this chapter is a manuscript, and the second half has been changed.

　　It is not only to explain the previous operation from the perspective of Xiujia, but also to pave the way for the following plot.

　　I hope that my readers can read a few more chapters before expressing their different opinions.

　　In the next few chapters, Xiujia's attitude will be reversed many times, please be prepared. (Very important)
　　In addition, from the 23rd to the 28th of this month (Sunday to Friday), there will be a day off from time to time.

　　Please rest assured readers this time, I will ask for leave after the turning point of this story, and I will never be a dog without chapters.
