Prime Minister Bizen

Chapter 79 Undercurrent
Coming out of Niwa Changhide's mansion, Hideyoshi has been sulking until he returned to his mansion with a swollen face. He really didn't expect that even if he avenged his lord and earned political capital, he would actually be weaving There is still no weight in the Tian family's family.

As soon as his proposal was uttered, he was scolded bloody by Niwa Nagahide, which made this monkey who had been complacent recently feel ashamed, and sat alone in the corner gnawing on cucumbers.

Seeing that Hideyoshi came back from Niwa Chohide's mansion, Hashiba Hidecho and Kuroda officers and soldiers were puzzled, so they asked the Hide family about the situation, and the Hide family told the whole situation in the mansion, which left them dumbfounded.

Even Hashiba Hidecho, who has worked with Niwa Nagahide for a long time in the monastery office, said in surprise, "It's the first time I've heard that Niwa-sama is so angry, Hachiro, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Hideka quickly explained that what he said was true, and it was the first time he saw the elegant Niwa-sama angry.

Xiu Zhang pondered over and over again, "That would be troublesome. It is undoubtedly our best choice to send Lord Xiu Sheng back. After all, my brother has given birth to his own son, and the position of Lord Xiu Sheng will become very embarrassing."

After hearing Hidecho's words, Hideyoshi, who was sitting aside sullenly, turned around and chewed cucumbers and said, "Shibata Xiu can give advice, and Migoro Sato can also give advice. I just made a suggestion, and Migoro didn't care You have scolded me like that for so many years." After saying that, he took another bite of the cucumber in his hand.

Hideya looked at Hideyoshi with resentment in his heart, and recalled just now that Niwa Nagahide thought that this move would definitely cause civil strife in the Oda family. Maybe it was really a way for Ukito to take chestnuts out of the fire, so he decided to add fuel to Hideyoshi's fire and said.

"That's right, why did Niwa-sama reprimand my father? My father just did one of his duties. Even if he didn't like what he did, just refuse it. Why should he be arrogant and arrogant when he is a retainer of the same level?" Father."

"Let me tell you, my father didn't mean to split the Oda family, but we can't be manipulated by others. If we really get in a hurry, we will go to Harima to support Mr. Hidekatsu as the head of the Oda family. If it's a big deal, just play a game with them, my Xiu family will definitely support my father."

Kuroda officer and guard on the side said, "What Yuxiduodian said is a choice. My lord's revenge for the Youfu is to obtain the advanced qualifications enough to be among the people in the world. If our lives are not as good as before, we might as well go back. Support an Oda patriarch to fight against this side."

The words of Hideka and Kanbei Kuroda seemed to open another window for Hideyoshi. The scenery outside the window was very attractive, and Hideyoshi himself began to think about this proposal.

"Hey, hey, what are you thinking? Don't forget that Mori is right behind you. Even if our family owns the seven kingdoms of Sanyin and Shanyang, how can we fight against Mori and the Oda family at the same time? Brother, what are you thinking?" The three of them seemed to be considering this proposal, Hashiba Hidetou was anxious, and jumped out to stop him.

"Even if you support Hidekatsu, how many other daimyos of the Oda family in the Western Kingdom will follow? Not to mention the Ikeda family in Settsu, the Tsutsui family in Yamato, and the Hosokawa family in Tango. Ning, there are two powerful enemies looking around!"

"Besides, brother, didn't you just want to use this as a means of promotion to gain power when you fought and avenged the Youfu? Now that you have withdrawn and set up another world, what is the significance of your previous struggles!"

When Hashiba Hidecho said he was excited, he came directly in front of his elder brother Hideyoshi, and looked directly at him.

Perhaps Hideyoshi's persuasion played a role, Hideyoshi calmed down and said, "You are right, but I was reckless, so let's put this discussion aside for now."

With Xiuchang's persuasion, Xiujia, who was just as enthusiastic as before, also calmed down, and suddenly realized how dangerous this proposal is. If this proposal is really gone, Xiguo will never have a peaceful day, and Xiujia himself is very likely. Overthrown by angry vassals who fought all the year round and could not reap benefits.

At this moment, a samurai announced from outside the hall that Mr. Niwa Chohide came to visit. Hashiba Hideyoshi, who had calmed down, was a little flattered, and went out to meet Nagahide himself. After the two sat down, the second meeting began.

Niwa Chohide apologized for his rude behavior towards Hideyoshi just now, "I'm really sorry, Banshu Mamoru, my words are a bit extreme. I know that Banshu Mamoru's heart is indeed for the Oda family, please forgive me."

"Migoro Zuo, you should still call me Fujikichiro, don't affect our relationship because of some trivial things. I have already connected with what you said to me just now, I am ashamed, although I don't mean it, but I will The Oda Army has introduced a crisis."

Hideyoshi accepted Niwa Nagahide's apology, and was very frank about his own problems. Niwa Nagahide saw that Hideyoshi quickly figured it out, and excitedly stepped forward to hold his hand and said, "Tokyoshiro, thank you, turn back from your self-preparation I knew that to avenge the lord, you would give everything for the Oda family."

Hideyoshi and Changxiu's old age relationship is not mentioned for the time being, the most important thing now is to solve the issues to be discussed at the Cheongju meeting.

Niwa Chohide took the lead in throwing out his plan and said, "According to the etiquette, after the death of His Highness Nobutada, His Highness Nobuo should naturally inherit the family governor. What does Harima Mori think?"

In fact, Hideyoshi doesn't like Nobutaka and Nobuo very much, and thinks that they can't lead the Oda family at all, so he doesn't know whether to agree with Nagahide's suggestion.

The Xiu family saw Hideyoshi's reluctance, so they proposed, "If His Highness Niwa wants to talk about etiquette, His Highness Nobuo may not be suitable. You must know that His Highness You Fu has already handed over the position of Patriarch of the Oda Family to General Zuo Konoe." , then after the death of General Zuo Jinwei, the person who should inherit the family governor most should not be the three masters?"

The Hide family's proposal was somewhat beyond Niwa Nagohide's expectations, and he stammered, "Three... how old is His Royal Highness Sanju, how can he inherit the family governor and lead the Oda family?"

But the Xiu family said unrelentingly, "Master Niwa is so strange. Just now, he talked about etiquette and said that His Highness Nobuo would be enthroned. Now there is a more ceremonial three-mage. His highness is talking about age. If you want to talk about age, Your Highness Nobuhyo is probably the older one."

Xiujia's words made Changxiu speechless, but it gave Hideyoshi a flash of inspiration. "The three mages escaped from Kyoto? Where are they?"

"The Gifu Castle brought back by Maeda Genichi should be in Gifu now." Hideka said

"Migoro Zuo, I think you also know the abilities and relationships of Nobuo and Nobutaka. Choosing either of them is the same as the result of me winning the show. You advised me to think for the sake of the Oda family. Why did you commit the crime yourself now? Fuck." Hideyoshi said solemnly to Niwa Chohide.

"But the third mage is different. He is still young and can be cultivated well. You, Mi Gorozuo, can just grow up with His Royal Highness the third mage, and teach him the way of a warrior. It's better than the Oda family being buried at the hands of two fools."

It has to be said that Hideyoshi's words hit Changxiu's heart directly. First of all, he was really worried about Oda Nobuo and Nobutaka brothers, so he came here. If the three masters serve as the head of the Oda family, then he can become the servant of the three masters (teacher).

Then in the future, after the three mages' primary clothes, I can also reap a lot of rewards. Neither public nor private Niwa Changhide can refuse Hideyoshi's proposal, and agree after thinking for a while.

When Hideyoshi saw that Changxiu agreed, he laughed happily, and discussed with Changxiu to go to Gifu to welcome the three masters to Cheongju tomorrow morning.

--------

Hideyoshi and Niwa Chohide temporarily left Cheongju and went to Gifu to meet the three masters in person, while Nobutaka found Katsuie Shibata and Narumasa Sasas as backers, and also believed that he had the chance to win.

On the contrary, Oda Nobuo, whom everyone was optimistic about at the beginning, was devastated. He actually waited for a day, and none of the big men who attended the meeting came to him. Perhaps at this time, he had a premonition of his own end.

Hideyoshi was entrusted by Hideyoshi to appease Nobuo on his behalf, but this fool thought that he was Nobunaga's second son, and he took Hideka's humility for granted.

Seeing that, Xiujia was grieving in his teeth, but before leaving, Hideyoshi specially told Xiujia that they must keep the matter of going to the three mages strictly confidential.

But Xiujia was unwilling to endure this humiliation, so he began to make false claims with Nobuo, coaxing Nobuo into thinking that Xiujia, Changxiu, and Hideyoshi were going to support him as a writer.

Nobuo thinks that after gaining the support of the three people, he will be the head of the family, so he goes directly to Nobuyo's mansion to show off his power, and even wants to use the tone of the head of the house to order the retainers at the door of Nobuyo.

Seeing Nobuo's actions made Shibata Katsuya and Oda Nobutaka more convinced that Hideyoshi's goal was to support Nobuo as the head of the family, thus successfully ignoring the existence of the three masters.

Facing the tense situation, Oda Nobutaka even approached Hideo, and directly offered Hideo "a reward of 20 from Sanuki and Hoki!"
