After hearing Hideho's words, Ogasawara Takakiyo and others could not say anything more. However, Chang Lianlong also had a slight affection for Hideho: "I have heard before that His Highness Youfu is tolerant and open-minded, and does not judge people with malice. When I meet him today, It really makes the foreign minister sincerely admire me." "I'm afraid that this bit of tolerance is not as good as one-tenth of Da Na Yan's. Your Excellency, it's really too much." Xiubao immediately bowed to Chang Lianlong. "Your Highness is too humble. This time the civil strife was put down, and the Youfu's achievements are unparalleled in the world. This is what I deeply believe." After saying that, Chang Lianlong solemnly bowed to Hideho, as the representative of the Maeda clan. , His words are enough to show Maeda¡¯s attitude towards Hideho. While the two were talking, not far away in Osaka Castle, the long conversation between Ishida Mitsunari, Nagasuke Masaie, Masuda Nagamori, and Maeda Genki had lasted for almost a day. Different from the more relaxed atmosphere on Mount Ikoma, the atmosphere in Ishida Mitsunari's house is very depressing and tense. Earlier, Asano Nagamasa followed Hideho's arrangement and went out of Kanto. Ishida Mitsunari was naturally elected by the joint meeting as the new head of the Five Acts. As the head of the Five Acts, he gained a huge say in internal affairs, and his position in the central committee also increased. has been further consolidated. ?Compared to the division of the five elders, the five elders are relatively "unified" within the five elders. Ishida Mitsunari, Masuda Nagamori, and Nagasuke Masaka have always had a close relationship. Although Nagashumasa served Hideho for a short period of time, he had always been concerned about his duties. In addition, he did not receive the expected importance and preferential treatment under Hideho. Finally, at the invitation of Ishida Mitsunari, he left Yamato Toyotomi. The family re-entered the center based on what they pursued and became a member of the "Iron Triangle of Pursuance". Asano Nagamasa was appointed as the pen head when Toyotomi Hideyoshi was alive. However, as Ishida Mitsunari's strength continued to grow, the Owari faction gradually declined in the center. He finally accepted Hideho's suggestion and went to the fiefdom of Ueno in Kanto to take charge of Hideho. Kanto, monitoring every move of Tokugawa Ieyasu and other daimyo. As for the struggle for central power, Asano Nagamasa seems to be relieved. He feels that as long as Hideho can take power, he will one day be able to return to Osaka Castle and sit back in his rightful position. A relatively "alternative" one is Genki Maeda. Judging from his recent performance, this monk is neutral on the surface and even slightly biased towards Ishida Mitsunari, but secretly he is a member of Tokugawa Ieyasu's party and was the one who originally decided whether to send troops to Aizu. At the meeting, he voted in favor at Tokugawa Ieyasu's instruction. In the end, by just one vote, Hideho was forced to start a war against Uesugi Kagekatsu, and the nationwide war began. Now Tokugawa Ieyasu was defeated, Tokugawa Hidetada died in battle, and the Tokugawa army was demobilized. This was beyond Genichi Maeda's expectation. He had no time to think about the reasons for the defeat of the Tokugawa army, but he quickly thought of "remedial measures", that is, he immediately asked Ishida Mitsunari moves closer. Since his relationship with the Tokugawa family was not revealed, Maeda Genki was able to successfully gain the trust of Ishida Mitsunari, and Ishida Mitsunari was also willing to accept his overtures. After all, once Maeda Genki joined his camp, his role in the Five Practices The position will be absolutely secure. "After this battle, the Youfu has completely suppressed Tokugawa, Mori, and Uesugi. Together with the Ukita and Maeda daimyo who were close to him before the war, the Youfu has completed control of the five elders. In this way, we will We need to pay more attention to the unity within the mission. I feel that it is time to consider whether Asano Danmasa will stay. With him embedded among us, it will be difficult for the mission to perform some of the things it is responsible for, let alone contend with the Youfu." He was very clear about the situation, but due to previous conflicts with Hideho and Hideho's growing sense of vigilance, he unconsciously stood on the opposite side of Hideho. Facing Masuda Nagamori¡¯s suggestion, Ishida Mitsunari frowned and remained silent. However, Nagasuke Masaie, who was sitting next to him, was the first to express his opinion. "Although he no longer serves under Youfu, I still know Youfu's character relatively well. He is absolutely loyal to the Young Master and Lady Yodo, and he does his best to maintain the authority of the Toyotomi clan. Ni'emon, you There is really no need to deliberately show hostility to him. After all, he will return to Osaka soon. It is really not a wise move to go against him at this time." There is absolutely no benefit. According to the poor monk, the top priority is to consider how to win over the various daimyo who are about to arrive in Osaka, and not let one person from the right government steal the spotlight. "Maeda Genyi has always been conservative, and challenging powerful enemies has never been an option for him. At first. He is a retainer of Oda Nobunaga. He followed Toyotomi Hideyoshi after Honnoji Temple. After Hideyoshi died of illness, he secretly contacted Tokugawa Ieyasu. He always insisted on following the strong. Now Hideho defeated the Tokugawa clan. Although it was beyond his expectation, it also made him He was afraid of Hideho, and his eldest son, Maeda Shigekatsu, also participated in the defense of Godong Mountain Castle, which was considered a small feat. Taking all things into consideration, he was not willing to confront Hideho immediately. Everyone expressed their thoughts. At this time,Tian Sanchen slowly raised his head and said to the three people in the hall: "Compared to Neifu and An Yi Zhongnayan, I think Youfu's loyalty to the young master can still be trusted. However, believing does not mean that Now that the general trend of the world has been decided, who can be sure that the Youfu at this time and the Youfu before the war still have the same ideas? People will change, especially when they are in power Seng Zheng is right, What we have to do now is to try our best to win over the big names in Shangluo, and we must not let the Youfu's advantage further increase. " "If the Youfu is still loyal to the young master and the clan, we can help him and assist him; Youfu has violated his oath to Taige. We must also be able to oppose him and compete with him. In this regard, the strength of us is not enough. We must get the support of more daimyo. The government is tit for tat, and it is not far away from forming cliques for their own selfish interests, but their own strength must be strengthened. Only in this way can the balance of the center be maintained in the coming days and prevent the right government from monopolizing power. This is very important to him and the young master. Necessary.¡± After listening to Ishida Mitsunari¡¯s statement, the other three leaders were deeply moved. They knew that Ishida Mitsunari had already regarded Gogoyo as the last line of defense to protect Hideyori, and also a gate to prevent Hideyori from encroaching on the interests of the Toyotomi clan. Regarding the internal stability of the Toyotomi clan, we cannot completely rely on Hideho's own restraint. We must also take necessary precautions, and what kind of preventive measures we should take will be the focus of our next work.
