    Chapter 159: Final Tenderness

    Toyotomi Hideyoshi has been very excited these days. If he hadn't been old, he would definitely have taken 8,000 people to Nanyuan himself. After all, it would be a great sense of accomplishment to capture the noble eldest prince of the Ming Dynasty with his own hands!  Of course, even if he couldn't go, he still started to think very seriously about what to do next to maximize the benefits after catching the eldest son of the Ming Emperor!

    First of all, it is certain to use the eldest son of the Ming Dynasty to blackmail the Ming Dynasty into withdrawing from North Korea. After all, it is impossible for the Ming Dynasty to refuse this very reasonable request for the sake of the eldest son of the emperor. Secondly, here in North Korea, it is better to occupy his entire territory.  , or just let North Korea cede Chungcheong Province, Gyeongsang Province and Jeolla Province in the south?  This is a question, and we need to carefully analyze the pros and cons; next, what are we asking for?  Should Ming cede some territory?  If you make this request, it is estimated that Ming Dynasty will rebound, so it is better to be cautious. After all, it is said that this eldest prince is not very favored by His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty. If he were replaced by the son of the favored Concubine Zheng, he would probably be fine.  Talk about some.  Well, why is Concubine Zheng so favored?  How pretty is this woman?  It's a pity that we didn't meet each other, it's a pity

    Toyotomi Hideyoshi stroked his beard, with a look of regret on his face, but then he smiled and thought that his thoughts were a little off topic. It seemed that he should first think about how to get real benefits after capturing the eldest son of the Ming Dynasty.  All right.  By the way, if Ming Dynasty agrees to these conditions, should Ming Dynasty return the eldest son of the emperor?  No, if it is returned easily, what if Ming wants to take revenge?  It was terrible to offend the Ming Dynasty, which had a vast land, rich resources, and a large population. It seemed that they could not let their eldest son go back for the time being, and it would be better to take him to Japan.

    Yes, I heard that His Majesty the Emperor has a little daughter who just turned ten this year. Wouldn¡¯t she be a good match for the eldest son of the Ming Dynasty¡¯s emperor?  Yep!  This is a good idea. If the eldest son of the Ming Emperor is brought to Japan and married to the Emperor's daughter, wouldn't he be able to inherit the Emperor's throne if he gives birth to a son in the future?  Haha, what a good idea. Not only that, but more importantly, this child also has the right to inherit the throne of Ming Dynasty!

    Toyotomi Hideyoshi was completely stunned by his idea. This was simply an extremely wonderful and perfect idea!  Why haven't I thought about it before?  Haha, when this little kid inherits the throne of the Emperor and the Ming Dynasty, won¡¯t he have completed the unification without using force at all?  Yes, unity!  With the Ming Dynasty and Japan, little Korea will of course surrender. By then, with such a super empire, won't it mean that it will become the overlord of the world?  Listen to those Francois who look like ghosts. In the far west, there are countless countries, and there are white people like them, and black people like black coal!  It's really strange, how could a person look like that?  Of course, yellow people will always be the best in the world, just like Ming Dynasty, just like Japan!  As for the Koreans, well, let¡¯s not mention them!

    Shaking his head, Toyotomi Hideyoshi felt that he was really a little strange now. He was thinking about how to maximize the interests of the eldest son of Emperor Ming Dynasty, but why did he always go off topic?  By the way, more than ten days have passed now. There should be good news coming from Nanyuan soon, right?  At this time, we might have captured the eldest son of the Ming Emperor!  Well, you have to think about it carefully, in what capacity do you want to meet the eldest son of the Ming Dynasty?  I heard that the child is still fifteen years old, so he should be easy to coax, right?  How about going to meet the eldest son of the Ming Dynasty as the Japanese king canonized by the Ming Dynasty?  No, this identity seems to be naturally different, no, no, no!  In what capacity?  By the way, how about adopting the emperor's daughter as your adopted daughter?  After all, he is also the king of Japan canonized by the Ming Dynasty, and his status seems to be justified. In this way, he will be able to control the children born between the eldest son of the Ming Dynasty and the Japanese princess in the future!

    Hey, it seems that I haven't figured out how I should meet the eldest son of the Ming Dynasty. By the way, the King of Japan is not bad. After all, no matter how noble the status of the eldest son of the Ming Dynasty is, he is now his prisoner. The King of Japan will entertain him personally.  He, he should feel honored!  Yes, children will become obedient if they are coaxed.  Well, it seems that the arrangements are about to continue, good food, good drinks, fun Also, at the age of fifteen, as a noble prince, he should already understand that aspect, right?  After all, there are so many beauties in the palace, but in the entire harem, how could the real men, that is, the emperor and the prince, not understand the secrets of this aspect?  Haha, it seems that we need to quickly arrange for someone to find a beautiful woman. By the way, she must be a virgin, otherwise how can she be worthy of the status of a prince?

    What else is missing?  Toyotomi Hideyoshi frowned and began to think. As the most important part of his plan, of course he must treat the eldest son of the Ming Emperor well!  At least before you have a little prince, you must treat the eldest son of the Ming Dynasty well!

    "Huh?" Toyotomi Hideyoshi was stunned when he was thinking, why could he hear the sound of horse hooves and shouting outside?  Then his eyes couldn't help but shine, could it be that those surrounded by?Nan Yuan¡¯s soldiers and horses have already captured Nan Yuan City and returned?  Do they want to surprise themselves?  Haha, yes, I like this surprise!

    "Report" At this moment, a guard rushed in from outside. He was not rude at all. He just gasped and stammered: "Outsideoutside"

    Toyotomi Hideyoshi only frowned slightly at the inappropriate behavior of the guards. However, he was in high spirits at this time, so he did not delve into it. Looking at the guards, he was probably excited because he had captured the eldest son of the Ming Dynasty's emperor, right?  Just forgive him this time.

    "Haha, are the people from the Ming Dynasty here? The eldest son of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was not harmed, right?" Toyotomi Hideyoshi said calmly. Seeing that these people are useless, isn't it because they captured the eldest son of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty?  What's so exciting?  You have to be calm, well, calm, this is the demeanor that a big man should have.

    "You, you know that the Ming Dynasty is here?" The guard swallowed, this is a big shot, with such demeanor and calmness, no wonder he is one of the most famous people in Japan, but he can only be a samurai.  This, this should be what people in the Ming Dynasty call the face of Mount Tai without changing their expressions!

    "Ha! How can you not know that there is so much hype outside?" Toyotomi Hideyoshi glared. This guard is so clueless. He will only be a guard in this life: "Where are you now? He should be here soon.  Bar?"

    "Almost, we're almost there! Main hall, do you want to take shelter first?" The guard gritted his teeth. When he came just now, he heard that the North Gate and West Gate not far from here had been lost, and the South Gate and East Gate had also been attacked.  Attack, that is to say, Busan City has been surrounded by Ming people who came out of nowhere!  By the way, it seems that Lord Guan Bai just said, is it His Royal Highness, the eldest son of the Emperor?  Didn't it mean that the eldest son of the Ming Emperor was besieged in Nanyuan?  How could it be here?  But since Lord Guan Bai knows that it is the Ming Dynasty who is coming, it proves that he also knows that the person coming must be the eldest son of the Ming Dynasty!  But what¡¯s really strange is, how many eldest sons did the Ming Dynasty have?  Could it be that the eldest son of the emperor could have two?  How strange!

    "Escape?" Toyotomi Hideyoshi frowned, why should he avoid it?  Um?  It seems that this guard is not very stupid. He knows that with his status, it is not easy to meet the eldest son of the Ming Dynasty directly like this. Yes, this is indeed not a good time to meet for the first time.  However, do you need to avoid it?  Just don't let them come over.

    "Go and tell them not to meet today. We can arrange a meeting when it is more convenient!" Toyotomi Hideyoshi ordered with a smile.

    The guard was a little unable to react now. He swallowed and felt that what Lord Guan Bai said was too profound!  Could it be that Master Guan Bai saw his potential and could retreat with just one word?  You don¡¯t seem to have such ability?  But what does Lord Guan Bai mean?  Could it be that I just stood in front of the aggressive Ming Dynasty and said calmly: "Our master's palace is not ready today. I'll see you again when our master Guan Bai is free." Is this useful?

    "Master, Master, this is a bit forced, isn't it? Those Ming people don't seem to be easy to talk to. I just heard people in front say that they killed many people at the North Gate and West Gate. They shouldn't give up easily, right?  ? Main hall, let¡¯s leave quickly, otherwise it will be too late.¡± With Toyotomi Hideyoshi¡¯s unwavering expression as an example, the little samurai calmed down and began to analyze in an orderly manner.

    "What? What do you mean? How dare they disobey? No, no, what did you just say? Did you just say Ming Dynasty? What happened? Say it again!" The more Toyotomi Hideyoshi listened, the more confused he became. Could it be this?  Is the little guard too excited?  Otherwise, why are you talking nonsense, with no preface and no follow-up?

    "Huh?" The guard was also a little confused by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, but since Master Guanbai asked, he had to reorganize his language and said: "In the main hall, Busan has been surrounded by the Ming Dynasty, and now the North  The gate and west gate have been captured by the Ming Dynasty, and the south gate and east gate have also been attacked, but I don¡¯t know what happened now! Main hall, you¡¯d better retreat quickly, otherwise it will be too late! Listen, now  The killing shouts and the sound of horse hooves are getting closer and closer. I think the Ming people are almost here. The main hall"

    "Bump!" The tea cup on the table was knocked to the ground by Toyotomi Hideyoshi who retreated unconsciously. His face was completely pale at the moment, his lips were trembling, and his eyes were blank. The high-spirited and calm Toyotomi Hideyoshi just now disappeared!  It wasn't until a moment later that he suddenly walked up to the guard in three steps at a time. First he swiped away a few big-eared melon seeds, then grabbed the guard's collar and said through gritted teeth: "You are so brave, how dare you  Lie! Tell me, what is going on? What is going on outside!!!" At the end of the sentence, he was already a little hysterical.

    The guard was frightened and his lips were trembling, completely at a loss, what on earth is going on?  Why did Lord Guan Bai, who had everything under control just now, become so ferocious and terrifying now?

    "Lord, Lord Hall, you, youthisthis"

    Toyotomi Hideyoshi suddenly closed his eyes, gently let go of the little guard, and waved his hand tiredly. He was certainly not an ordinary person who could achieve this position. He just knew that the situation was mixed up. At this time, it was easy to reconnect with the front and back.  You can tell what happened: "You should quickly think of a way to escape. Their target is here. However, it is estimated that since they can get here, it seems that they are already surrounded outside. If they can't escape, just  , Just surrender! Go ahead"

    Sighing, Toyotomi Hideyoshi shook his head with a self-deprecating smile. Life is so wonderful. It was ridiculous that just now he was thinking about how to treat others. Now the situation has indeed completely reversed. He will soon be the one who gets the most value out of him.  Someone, and the other party I don¡¯t know who it is yet!  Who is it?  How did they come?  When I was most proud of my life, someone pushed me off the cliff so cleanly and I was defeated by someone!

    "Main, main hall"

    "Go! Go! Let's go, let's go! Haha" Toyotomi Hideyoshi yelled, scaring the little guard so much that he squatted on the ground, and then staggered away.  I really didn¡¯t expect that just now I was thinking about catching someone else, but now someone else is catching me!  Well, no matter who was defeated by the Ming Dynasty, no matter who had the courage to think of the method of going deep into this place and attacking Huanglong, he was a general worthy of admiration!  Who is the one?  Ma Gui or Yang Hao?  Haha, what a good trick. Instead of rescuing Namwon who was in danger, he attacked Busan without anyone noticing

    The Korean War was a complete defeat, completely at the hands of this man!  However, hehe, I am not without hope. I hope that on the Nanyuan side, I can step up the attack, break the Nanyuan City, and capture the eldest son of the Ming Dynasty alive in exchange for myself!  Now everything depends on whether Nanyuan can capture the eldest son of Ming Dynasty.

    Listening to the sound of horse hooves getting closer and closer, Toyotomi Hideyoshi looked at the casual clothes he was wearing, frowned involuntarily, and quickly came to the bedroom. At this time, only the man he had brought with him who had been saved was left in the bedroom.  The concubine who died.  He smiled self-deprecatingly again and said to his concubine: "Keiko, why don't you leave? Now you may have heard about what's going on outside, and it's time to run away for your life."

    Nakagawa Keiko bowed and said softly: "My life was given by you, and I am yours, whether you are alive or dead!"

    Toyotomi Hideyoshi patted Nakagawa Keiko's hand and couldn't help but feel a little guilty. He saved her life at that time just because of her beauty, but she was able to stay here with him when the disaster was approaching Anyway,  , when you are out of danger this time, you must treat this woman well.

    "Please change my clothes. Just wear the one given by the Emperor. After all, I am still Japanese!" Smiling at Keiko Nakagawa, Toyotomi Hideyoshi patted her little hand again and said.

    The arrival of Toyotomi Hideyoshi seemed to give this young girl something to rely on, and her face was no longer so pale. She obediently took off the clothes given by the emperor, and carefully helped Toyotomi Hideyoshi put them on.

    "Keiko, hurry up, it will be too late if it is later, they are almost here." Toyotomi Hideyoshi pinched Nakagawa Keiko's delicate face and urged him with a wry smile.

    Nakagawa Keiko's hands only paused for a moment, and then she dressed him meticulously again. It seemed that for this little woman, there was no bigger thing than dressing her husband.

    Seeing the persistence of this little woman, Toyotomi Hideyoshi smiled bitterly, then stopped insisting, and let Nakagawa Keiko do what he wanted. He rarely listened to a woman's words, and no one would believe it if he said it.

    Finally, Nakagawa Keiko finished dressing Toyotomi Hideyoshi, then looked it up and down again, smoothed some wrinkles with her hands, and then nodded with satisfaction, achieving the effect she wanted.

    Toyotomi Hideyoshi took a deep breath, pinched Keiko Nakagawa's charming face again, turned around and walked out.  He just walked to the door and suddenly asked: "Keiko, you have been following me for two years, right? I was negligent and forgot your age."

    "Two years, six months and eight days, sir! I am seventeen years old this year." Nakagawa Keiko said softly.

    "Live well!"

    Toyotomi Hideyoshi left a message and strode toward the hall, where he wanted to greet his "guests" in the living room.

    "Cang!" Behind him, Nakagawa Keiko just took out the dagger pointed at her heart from the sheath and dropped it to the ground. Tears flowed down. That man was his god. If he let her live, she would live, even if  Is lonely??A lifetime!

    What Toyotomi Hideyoshi didn't expect was that when he came to the living room, there was already someone in the living room. To be specific, it was a young man, a very young man, with a somewhat immature face, but with a strange look.  A hint of intimidating majesty.  When he came closer, he found that the young man was making tea extremely seriously, so carefully that Toyotomi Hideyoshi unconsciously slowed down his steps and started to observe carefully - for those who know tea  , watching people make tea is also a kind of enjoyment.

    "Borrow flowers to offer to the Buddha! Unexpectedly, I found the best Dahongpao in Master Guan Bai's living room, and there was a set of ready-made tea sets and cups next to it. I got interested for a while, but it made Master Guan Bai laugh!" The young man did it carefully!  After completing each process, it seemed that Toyotomi Hideyoshi would be standing here, speaking very naturally and without being abrupt at all like an old friend.

    Then he picked up a cup and raised it: "Lord Guan Bai, please!"

    Toyotomi Hideyoshi smiled and nodded. The two of them seemed to be friends who had known each other for many years. It was as if there was no difference between them. He picked up the tea cup and took a sip carefully. His eyes were fascinated and seemed to enjoy it for a while, and then he suddenly opened his eyes.  He opened his mouth and said: "Being able to drink the tea brewed by His Highness the Great Prince of Ming Dynasty, even if I die, it will be worth it!"
