    Regarding Hideho's statement, except for Toudo Takatora and Shima Kiyoshi, all the important officials of the Yamato Toyotomi clan present were surprised.  "Not to mention that after the Onin Rebellion, the world was already falling apart. Even since the Southern and Northern Dynasties, no one in the eight continents (Japan's ancient name) could unify it. To put it bluntly, even when Taige was alive, the world was also  It's just a superficial unity, otherwise why would there be such chaos after Taiko's death?" Although Nasu Shikichi was absolutely loyal to Hideho, he still expressed doubts and concerns about his ambitions.  In fact, since the late Emperor Shirakawa took control of the government after Taira Kiyomori was placed under house arrest, the emperor has lost the power to govern the world.  After the Genpei War, Minamoto Yoritomo enfeoffed his fellow clansmen and meritorious ministers in various places. After the Hojo clan usurped power, they intensified the enfeoffment, which laid hidden dangers for the Warring States Period.  After that, in the troubled times of the Northern and Southern Dynasties where "two emperors in one day came to Beijing", the emperor was completely reduced to the puppet of the two samurai factions. The power of the daimyo and the people reached an unprecedented level. Even Ashikaga Takauji, who founded the Muromachi shogunate, needed the support of local forces.  Only in this way can we maintain the stability on the surface.  During the period of the third shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, on the one hand, he forced the emperor of the Southern Dynasties to hand over the "Three Divine Weapons" and achieved the unification of the north and the south; on the other hand, he suppressed powerful local factions such as Yamana, Imagawa, and Ouchi, which greatly strengthened the imperial court and the shogunate.  Therefore, after his death, the imperial court posthumously awarded him the title of "Royal Emperor of the Roen Garden", and the prestige of the Muromachi shogunate reached its peak.  However, the fourth shogun Ashikaga Yoshimochi and Ashikaga Yoshimitsu had opposite opinions on many aspects such as the imperial court, the public family, the protection of the daimyo, and the Ming Dynasty trade.  Therefore, after Yoshimitsu's death, most of his policies were abolished by Yoshimitsu.  Ashikaga Yoshitsugu, the second son whom Yoshimitsu favored, was forced to run away and was killed by Yoshitsugu for treason. Yoshitsugu's descendants fled to Echizen and became the so-called "Arabani K¨­k¨­". This was also the beginning of the chaos of the K¨­k¨­ in the Muromachi period.  Thereafter, the Sixth Shogun Yoshitsune worked hard to restore Yoshimitsu's policies, but he was assassinated by Akamatsu Mitsuke during the Cargill Rebellion, and the reform was stopped.  The Eighth Generation Shogun Yoshimasa also tried to revitalize the country, but failed due to the outbreak of the Onin Rebellion. After that, he entered the Warring States Period, which is well known to the world.  It can be seen from this that in the past 450 years, Japan has never been able to achieve a unified situation; in the past 760 years, the regents, the government, and the samurai politics have taken turns, and the emperor has been completely reduced to a puppet.  , the local power represented by the samurai has increased significantly. Centralization of power is out of the question for Japan. Once someone wants to concentrate power, they are bound to suffer a strong backlash. This is the case for Ashikaga Yoshitsune, and the same is true for Oda Nobunaga.  ¡°Perhaps after seeing through this, Hideyoshi chose to use another way to unify the world, even though this unification was only superficial and fragile.  "Can the lord do what Nobunaga and Taikaku were unable to do?" This is the question in the minds of many Yamato Toyotomi clan retainers.  In their view, after this war, although Hideho failed to establish absolute power, as long as he united and supported the daimyo of the Toyotomi clan, as well as daimyo such as Maeda, Mouri (Hidemoto), Yuki, and Kamao who were close to them, he would be able to  It is possible to achieve control over all of Japan. There is no need to risk trying to centralize power, because if you are not careful, you may encounter backlash.  Toshiki Aoki, who has always supported Hideho unconditionally, also expressed his concerns to Hideho: "My lord, after this battle, my family's skills plus the rewards received by the retainers, the knowledge and practice will definitely exceed three million koku, and I must be the best daimyo in the world.  , you are the backstory of Young Master Hideyori. With the full support of the two elders, you can achieve absolute control over the joint meeting and the core of the political power. You can completely follow the old path of Taige. There is really no need to learn from Mingguo's methods.  The risk is indeed too great. " "You are right. With the strength of our family, we can definitely maintain the peace and prosperity when Taige is alive. But have you ever thought about it, if the successor of our family or the Zong family is mediocre?  Or if there is a crisis of establishing a reserve, will the world's famous people just sit back and ignore it, or will they miss the opportunity? At that time, the joint meeting will not only fail to stabilize the overall situation, but will instead sideline the clan, creating a situation similar to "revelation politics".  You also know that during the Sheguan period, most of the internal fighting among civil servants did not have a direct impact on the world and the people. However, the internal fighting in the joint meeting was different. Everyone was a big name with hundreds of thousands or even millions of stones.  Discord may lead to nationwide fighting. By then, the world will be devastated, and the foundation of the Taige will be destroyed. Therefore, in order to prevent this from happening, the joint meeting and even the mechanism established during the Taige period must be improved.  Carrying out reforms is what I should do as a hindsight.¡± Hideho¡¯s words moved all the retainers present. They were speechless and could only express their inner admiration and excitement by bowing down to Hideho.  .  "Have the foster father and Sakon already known the master's thoughts before?" Fukushima Takayoshi, Toudo Takatora and Shima Kiyosuke were not as surprised as others, and besides, they?He is also the most important minister in the family, so he aroused the above curiosity.  "That's right," Todo Takatora nodded: "Not only do we know, but we have also been planning specific plans. I didn't want to tell you so soon, but after the attendant made such a fuss tonight, some facts cannot be delayed, at least to say the least.  You must be mentally prepared." "As Takatora said, they are all retainers of the Yamato Toyotomi clan, and we don't want to hide anything. It's just that the lord was a little hesitant about the Owari faction before and didn't let us know too early.  Everyone, please forgive me." Shima Kiyoshi and Todo Takatora immediately bowed to everyone to express their apology.  Seeing this, Hideho immediately explained: "Indeed, before tonight I was still a little hesitant about the Owari faction's fate, so it was not convenient to tell too many people. But after the incident of the attendant, I think you should also have some thoughts in your mind.  The answer. " "The only one who can assist the young master and control the world is our Yamato Toyotomi clan!" At this moment, Fukushima Takayoshi has fully understood Hideho's good intentions, and his tone is becoming more firm.  "What you just said is correct. The Taikaku's permission to use the 'Goshitori' is an affirmation of our family. Therefore, our family must fulfill its duty to protect the Toyotomi regime. In my opinion, the clan is weak. At present, except for the Yamato Toyotomi clan,  , No other daimyo can sincerely safeguard the foundation of the Toyotomi clan, and no daimyo can tell us what to do with the Omi clan and the Owari clan. The clan only needs us, and it is enough for the daimyo in the world to obey our orders.  " Hearing this, Todo Takatora and other retainers prostrated themselves on the ground again, shouting with a sonorous and powerful voice: "I must listen to my lord's teachings, and I must devote all my efforts to protect my family and protect Toyotomi!  His world!"
