Prime Minister Bizen

Hearing what Mingzhi Xiuman said, Xiujia's eyes shrank rapidly.

It's not that Xiujia thought this news was shocking. In fact, there were many such opinions in later generations, but they did not become mainstream in the academic world.

The reason why Xiujia was surprised was because he finally heard this hypothesis from a person who had witnessed it. This is undoubtedly a powerful argument for this hypothesis.

Knowing that Xiuman was very satisfied with Xiujia's surprised eyes, he said to Xiujia with a smile, "Your Highness, you were in the middle of the army back then, and the Mori family's military strength has really reached the point where it cannot be broken without Oda Youfu. Is it? If I remember correctly, you almost pierced through Shanyin."

"I once asked Guan Bai about this matter. What he meant was: The Takeda family has perished, and the Mori family will be the biggest obstacle blocking the way of the Oda family. Such a great contribution is not something he and I can take. Give this credit and the matter of post-war security to the Youfu for direct decision."

Hearing what the Xiu family said, Mingzhi Xiuman nodded and said, "Is that true, did Guan Bai tell you that? Did Guan Bai tell you that he and Yuen Hinata Shou had accepted the meeting with the minister Woolen cloth?"

In Hideie's memory, Toyotomi Hideyoshi did not seem to have told him about this incident, but maybe it was too long ago and he could not remember it clearly.

However, the hesitation in his eyes was doubtful of Toyotomi Hideyoshi in the eyes of Mingzhi Xiuman, and then he threw out a point of view and said, "Does your Highness know that in the banquet before you visited Youfu that day, Oda Youfu asked me At the same time as the request of the lord to transfer the titles of Izumo and Hoki to the two countries, he also requested that after the crusade against Maori, the Duke of Chikuzen (Hideyoshi's official rank at that time) transfer the titles of Aki and Bingo to the two countries."

"Ani. Backup?"

At that time, Toyotomi Hideyoshi's knowledge and practice were very scattered. He had territories in Harima, Tamba, Tajima, and Kita Omi. His knowledge and practice was about 20 shi.Counting the knowledge and knowledge of his younger brother Hidecho and his good brothers and Rikihosuga Masakatsu and others, Hideyoshi's knowledge and practice is less than 30.

However, as the general who crusades against Maori, Hideyoshi can mobilize the daimyos of Harima, Tanba, Tajima, and Inaba, as well as Ukido, who owns Bizen, Misaku, and Bichu, and the actual control of Zhixing is more than 150 million shi.

Transferring Hideyoshi from the scattered territories to Anyi and Bingo as a whole, Zhixing has actually been increased. Qingchang's 3-year rural account records that Anyi has 19.4 shi, and Bingo has 18.6 shi. It seems that there are about 38 shi, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi has received almost double the seal. Logically speaking, such a seal should not be dissatisfied.

There is also Zhixing who knows that Hideman has about 30 koku in Tamba + Kinki counties, and is transferred to Izumo and Hoki who also has 40 koku.

Why would the two people who have been increased be the protagonists of the plot to change the Honnoji Temple?

This is not normal!
But suddenly the Xiu family understood something, he couldn't use common sense to trick Toyotomi Hideyoshi, he was an extremely ambitious person.At this moment, although he knows and acts only 20 shi, he controls the rights corresponding to 150 million shi.

And rights are naturally exclusive.

It would be fine if Oda Nobunaga comforted Hideyoshi. Taking him to Aki or Bingo would be as casual as losing a dog.Although without Oda Nobunaga, Hideyoshi's life might have been worse than that of a dog, but the expansion of ambition will indeed make people lost.

Knowing that Hidemitsu naturally didn't know what Hideie was thinking, he felt that he had the initiative and continued to stir up Hideie's nerves and said, "Does Your Highness know where the Uki family will go after Mori?"

"What does this have to do with my Yuxi family?" Hearing that it was related to Yuxi, Xiujia immediately jumped up and asked Akechi Xiumin the most.

"Of course it has something to do with it. As a newly surrendered force, why does His Highness own a territory of nearly 60 koku in two and a half countries near Kinki? Even Shibata-sama and Takikawa-sama don't have as much knowledge and practice as you do!"

"If His Highness hadn't been alone, the Oda Ufufu might have split the Ukita family. The result of the initial discussion was that you (Ukita) are still useful and can be used as the vanguard in the crusade against Maori, and Ukita family must be stabilized.

But after the downfall of Maori, it is enough for the Uki family to own most of the country in Bizen, and the rich families and minor daimyos of Misaku and Bichu can directly join the Oda clan.I don't know what your Highness thinks of this plan? "

Akechi Hidemi's plan to split Ukita is very credible, and it really looks like something that the arrogant Oda Nobunaga would do.

But so many years have passed, and all those who witnessed the meeting at that time have died, do Xiujia believe it just because of your empty words?
Besides, does the current Xiu family need to worry about what happened 25 years ago?Even if Oda Nobunaga really planned to mess with himself at that time, isn't he still doing dirt now?

"You are very provocative, but there are loopholes in the logic of your words. You are saying that Zhi Hinata Shou and Guan Bai were already dissatisfied with the Youfu at that time, and planned to attack the Youfu in tandem, but why did you, Akechi Hyuga Shou, instead of two people together?"

"Your Highness misunderstood what I said." Akechi Hideman shook his head and said, "The connection between the two His Highnesses will happen later."

"Your Highness, do you know that there is something about you behind Guan Bai's request for help to Youfu. He prayed to keep the Yuxi family as a whole, and put you all in Zhoufang and Nagato. He promised to replace Youfu. educate you well."

"Father, please." Hideyoshi was stunned when he heard this reply. Over the years, he had become accustomed to Hideyoshi's intrigues. Today, he suddenly heard from a third person that Hideyoshi had spoken for him. He was somewhat uncomfortable.

"Is that so?" At this moment, Hideyoshi was somewhat disappointed, Hideyoshi gave him a father's love that he had never experienced, and the relationship between himself and Hideyoshi was really good back then.

But the disappointment was only disappointment, Xiujia continued to ask: "What happened next?"

"Back then, the Zhitian Youfu didn't allow Guan Bai's plan, and ordered him to do his own thing well. You should understand the next thing, Fengchun Youfu, right?"

"You mean?!" Xiujia's originally loose body shook violently, his eyes were as sharp as an eagle, he looked at Akechi Xiumin, and opened his mouth to curse at him, "Are you kidding me! What does this have to do with me!"

"I admit that your story is very contagious, but for rights, for rights, what are you doing to me, I was just a child at the time!"

If Hideka is not a time traveler, knowing that the change of Honnoji would have happened without him in history, maybe he would really be deceived by Akechi Hidemi's touching father-son family drama.

Seeing that the Xiu family was in a hurry, Wise Wise Xiumin also confessed frankly: "I am just telling what happened at that time. I dare not make a judgment on whether this is the reason why Guan Bai got in touch with my lord. Maybe I have to wait for His Highness. After a hundred years, I will personally ask Guan Bai why."

"My lord's hatred is based on the fact that the right government disregarded your agreement and the safety of the mistress, and stormed the Hatano family, resulting in the death of the mistress. In addition, the story of the ruthless treatment of the heroes by the Oda right government forces was the root cause. At that time There are signs of overthrowing the imperial court and establishing himself as king in the right government. It was only after many overlaps that my lord decided to respect the king and fight against rebellion.

As for Guan Bai's reasons, I don't know.All I know is that Guan Bai took the initiative to reveal his thoughts to my master. "

"Are you kidding me, plotting a big event, just exchanging letters like this? Father, why should he trust you, Akechi Hinata Shou?"

Hideka always had a skeptical attitude towards Mingzhi Xiuman's answer, but when he remembered that Toyotomi Hideyoshi had done so many illogical things in his life, he suddenly believed it again.

At this moment, Hideyoshi was somewhat melancholy, his eyes raised unconsciously, and when he recalled the time he rode on Hideyoshi's shoulders in the past, tears began to well up in his eyes.

"At that time, that man really raised me as his son."

When Xiujia lost control of her emotions, she really felt that she knew that what Xiuman said might be true, but after she stabilized, the more she said it, the more she felt that something was wrong.

The most important question is that it is meaningless for Akechi Mitsuhide to kill Oda Nobunaga. The governor of the Oda family has already been given to Oda Nobunaga. All the ashes?
Regarding Hideya's question, Akechi Hidemao also had an answer. He said calmly, "I have to mention another important figure, the Tokugawa Household."

"At that time, Oda Lieutenant General was accompanying the Uchifu to visit Sakai Town. This was the duty assigned to him by Nobunaga. But at that time, Oda Lord took people from Ando to Kyoto, and Oda Nakasho was persuaded by the Uchifu to go back to meet the letter. Grandpa."

In Akechi Hidemi's story, the change of Honnoji Temple is a big drama organized by three Toyotomi family spoilers in series, and the three key characters are indispensable.

The Xiu family couldn't help but gasped when they heard this, but they also raised doubts to him, "Why is the inner government?"

But this suspicion was not uttered, and Hideka himself had already given the answer: Naturally, it was because of Nobunaga's attitude towards his allies.After the demise of Takeda, Tokugawa Ieyasu saw the crisis, which coincided with Akechi Mitsuhide and Hashiba Hideyoshi joining forces.
"No, there are loopholes in the logic here."

Assuming all this is true, even Tokugawa Ieyasu, who came from afar, knows about the series of Hideyoshi and Mitsuhide, will others not know?

Furthermore, as one of the series members, why did Tokugawa Ieyasu flee back to Mikawa across the Iga Valley in embarrassment afterwards?
In the face of Xiu's inquiry, Akechi Hidemi expressed his point of view loudly: "Your Highness, don't you understand? In the whole story, only my Lord Mitsuhide has honestly carried out the plan. Whether it is Toyotomi Guanbai Or the Tokugawa government has betrayed my lord!"

"The Tokugawa government pretended to agree to our lord's plot, but as you said, there is a huge loophole in our lord's plan. That is: even if Oda Youfu is killed, there is still a legitimate successor, Oda. General Tanaka!"

"I also felt that there was a problem with this matter after the fact. We didn't expect that Oda would appear in Kyoto. We always thought he was in Sakaimachi. But the inner government persuaded him to go back to meet the right government. It was also this operation that caused the following world A big change in the situation."

"My lord didn't expect that as long as Hashiba Chikuzen, the territory west of Harima, was the first to hit him with a backhand, and it came at such a fast speed. This speed even exceeded the expectations of the Tokugawa Uchifu. He thought he would have enough time to pass through Iraq. He Shanshan returned to Sanhe and took up the banner in the name of avenging the Youfu."

"Three allies who joined together with false feelings, plotted against each other and helped each other, created this historic event and completely changed the situation of the world. In the end, only my lord resisted everything alone."

At this point in the topic, Hideie has almost understood Meiji Hidemitsu's entire logic: "So, the three of you conspired to do this, and in the end both of you felt that your lord Hinata Mamoru's plan was too crude and unreliable. They all pretended to agree to the plan, and they all sent their own assists, but in the end they didn't fully participate and become allies?"

"That's it, otherwise, why do you think that Guan Bai could strangle the Neifu in Owari back then, but let him live in the end? It's just because the Neifu admitted his mistake, okay? Ikeda Settsushou and so many famous people who died to take charge?

The Tokugawa House is not my lord, nor is my lord!My lord, the winner and loser, admits his crime, but the inner court really will bite people when it is pushed into a hurry! "

Hideya was silent for a long time after receiving Akechi Hideo's confirmed reply, and finally concluded, "The story is very interesting, but I don't believe it."

"The simplest logic is that both the Neifu and Guan Bai broke the original agreement. Why would you rather hide your name by the side of the Tokugawa clan than mess up the Toyotomi clan? Didn't the Neifu betray your lord?"

"Hahaha~" Akechi Hidemu laughed loudly after hearing these words, "Youfu, Youfu, you are stupid no matter what you think. My lord's plan is not secret, and he can kill Oda Youfu and Lieutenant General Oda at the same time. Fortunately, there is even the credit of the inner government.

But to say a thousand words and ten thousand, the Neifu may have already planned to betray me and raise troops in Sanhe, but he was still a bit late after all, wasn't he?Wasn't Guan Bai the one who took my master's head in the end?What reason do I have to hate the inner government instead of him? "

Xiujia was silent, he suddenly felt that his IQ was being rubbed on the ground by Mingzhi Xiuman.

No, not just my own IQ, but also my own three views.My CPU was almost overclocked during this period of time.

After a long silence, Xiujia finally said, "Yuiren Hinata Mamoru was finally asked for by my subordinates."

Mingzhi Xiuman said: "This matter is well known in the world, and I hated Your Highness before. But now I don't hate it anymore. Your Highness did not participate in this matter, and knows nothing about it. It is the responsibility of warriors to kill generals and capture flags on the battlefield." Duty, I would also like to thank Your Highness for giving my Lord a decent result."

Hideka looked back and forth at Mingzhi Hideman, and finally asked his own question, "Is it because when Akechi Hinata Mamoru persuaded Hosokawa and Tsutsui, he used the same excuse that Hashiba and Tokugawa have united?

But they all took this secret to the tomb. Monk Tsutsui didn't reveal it until his death, and your master didn't confess to Guan Bai and the Neifu before he was beheaded. Why did you come here today to tell me this! "

Hideya couldn’t help asking this question. Seeing that Ieyasu Tokugawa was about to arrive, when Hideka was raising troops against the Osaka side, Hidemi Akechi suddenly came and said to you, “Your adoptive father burned Oda for you and the traitor Mitsuhide Akechi. Nobunaga, what a great fatherly love~"

This is purely for showmanship.

"Because I'm 70 years old." Mingzhi Xiuman took off the turban on his head and said to his face showing his vicissitudes. "It took 20 years to design the destruction of the Toyotomi family, so that they finally fought among themselves. It seems to be successful , the Toyotomi family is about to perish, but it was finally lost in your hands."

"Losing? There should be 10,000+ people on the Osaka side. Counting those in Mino, their strength is about the same. The outcome is still uncertain."

Hideie did not believe the words of a person who had manipulated the hearts of the Toyotomi regime for the past 20 years, not to mention that Osaka's power still existed, so he questioned him.

But what Akechi Hideman said next exceeded Xiu's expectations. "The hearts of the people are gone, You Mansion. Even the mentality of the Inner Mansion has collapsed. I came here today to negotiate with You Mansion at his entrustment."

"Ah~" At this point, the wise Xiuman sighed up to the sky, and then laughed at himself to the Xiu family: "What's the use of manipulating power for 20 years, Youfu, Youfu, you really should be the master of the world."
