Osaka Honmaru, Imperial Palace, and Side Palace. More than 20 people including Ishida Mitsunari, Maeda Geni, Nagasuke Masaie, and Masuda Nagamori, Ishida Mitsunari's brother and two nephews, and Majima Mitsuyoshi, one of the leaders of the Seven Hands Group promoted by Mitsunari, were all imprisoned here. Not a spacious room. A few pieces of saury, some rice, and a bucket of miso soup were placed in front of everyone in the hall, which was what Hideho prepared for them. As expected, apart from the fact that there was a little less tea in the teapot, the food on the table remained untouched. Even the bowls and chopsticks were placed in their original places, and no one even glanced at them. "Sir, please drink some tea too." With that said, Majima Mitsuyoshi stood up and respectfully came to Ishida Mitsunari carrying the teapot, preparing to fill his cup with some hot tea. "No need," Ishida Mitsunari quickly put his hand on the tea cup and said without raising his head: "You should drink it yourself." "Sir" Upon seeing this, Majima Mitsuyoshi immediately put down the teapot in his hand and solemnly knelt down before Ishida. In front of Mitsunari, he said sincerely: "I have shouldered the great trust of my lord for my humble position, so please punish me!" "Punish me?" Ishida Mitsunari sighed softly, "You and I are both prisoners of the rank now. How can I be qualified to punish you?" What's your crime? Come on, I have to blame myself. Why did I promote you guys with no qualifications? It's just nepotism. In the end, you didn't complete any of the tasks assigned to you Speaking of which, You are pretty good, but the two guys Otani and Sagishima are even more hateful." Hearing this, Masuda Nagamori, who was sitting next to Ishida Mitsunari, took the initiative to admit his mistake: "Mashima (Mashima Mitsuyoshi) was just hit. There is no betrayal in Manano Bungo Mamoru's treacherous plan, and if he is really wrong, it is my fault for not guarding Honmaru with Ribei, which allowed the thieves to take advantage of this. It was a big mistake." Hearing Masuda Nagamori mention him, Nagasuke Masaika, who had been silent for a long time, could not continue to keep silent. His face was ugly, his expression was depressed, and his words revealed loss and despair: "Yes, The fault is all ours But, what's the point of talking about this now? We have to meet in Rokujo River anyway, so there is really no need to waste time trying to make a difference. " "Ribei, shut up your stinker. Mouth!" Maeda Genyi looked at Changshu Masashi with a pale face and said angrily: "How can I be like you? As long as Gaodain is here, nothing will happen to me!" "Ishida? Mitsunari's brother, Ishida Masaki, snorted coldly and said sarcastically: "Now, the right government is still afraid of Kodai-in? Let alone Kodai-in. Without us, without the constraints of other elders, I'm afraid that Young Master and Yodo Madam, you won't be taken lightly." "It's just that I underestimated Youfu and looked down on Hayami's gang. I should have understood that they were not the same as us from the beginning to the end." Ishida Mitsunari didn't take a stab at it. The entire city of Osaka was lost with one shot, which made me feel a little sad. "Yes, they acted together with us, but now we are the only ones being imprisoned here. I really don't know what method they thought of to escape." Masuda Nagamori was also puzzled. Although Ishida Mitsunari was extremely disappointed with the failure of the uprising, he had a clearer view of the Seven Hands Team: "This time Osaka was taken down by Youfu without even using a sword or a shot. Isn't it all the credit of Hayami and the others? Besides, the Seven Hands Many of the Hand Group are veterans who have followed Taige for many years. Forgiving them will win the hearts of the Youfu. Of course, the most important point is that compared to those of us who follow the rule, the Seven Hands Group is a group of warriors. From now on. In any case, we will not participate in the decision-making of the central government, so we will not pose any threat to the future governance of the Youfu. On the contrary, we, Tokugawa, Mori, and Uesugi, all have strong influence. , The right government must get rid of it quickly, so as to avoid long nights and unforeseen problems. " "So, we will not escape death after all?" Although Maeda Xuanyi didn't want to believe it, he still couldn't help but want to hear Ishida Mitsunari's judgment. However, Ishida Mitsunari did not answer him directly, but said silently: "It depends on the young master and his wife. At this moment, our lives are no longer in our hands." Except for Ukita Hideie and Maeda Toshimasa, the others The daimyo stationed outside Osaka Castle did not know what happened in Osaka last night until noon on May 22nd. All the daimyo expressed their admiration for Hideho's calmness and extraordinary control. However, when they thought that the elders and Zongzhi had been surrendered, and that the power of the central government had been solely controlled by Hideho, everyone couldn't help but feel a rattle in their hearts, and they were worried that something would happen in the future. Shen angered Hideho and ended up in the same fate as Tokugawa and Ishida, but he felt lucky that he didn't fight Hideho to the end. Considering that Osaka Castle still needs to be tidied up, and everyone needs a rest due to fatigue, Hideho suggested to Yodohime to postpone the time of summoning the various daimyo. Yodohime agreed and hoped to discuss carefully with Hideho the disposal of the daimyo after the war. Yohime took the initiative to discuss post-war disposal, which made Hideho feel a little surprised and worried: "It seems to be Katagiri's idea again." That night, Hideho talked with his retainers all night long, and quickly drafted a plan on how to deal with the daimyo. detailed list. But holding the detailed sheet in his hand, Hideho hesitated: "Will Prime Minister Bizen and Noto Mamoru agree?" "They can only agree." Takatora Toudo and Motoji Goto said in unison. "After all, they are still the elders. I go to them with the prepared list and ask them to directly approve my decision. Isn't it too overbearing?" Hideho still showed a trace of hesitation. "Does the lord want to hold a blank piece of paper to discuss with the two elders one by one and bargain one by one? This is not overbearing, but the prestige of my family will be greatly reduced. With all due respect, what the lord lacks the most right now It's just domineering. Please understand, if you are not domineering at this time, how can you achieve the dictatorship you want in the future?" Goto Motoji's words really made Hideho feel a little more confident. Upon seeing this, Todo Takatora also took the opportunity to persuade: "Not only that, the Maeda and Ukita families are both favored by the lord. They are also people who know how to repay their kindness. They will never question my proposal. Even Bizen The prime minister cares about the young master and the clan, but the suggestions we have drawn up do not show any obvious infringement on the clan's power, which satisfies his bottom line and should not be a big problem. " "I hope, but even if they are both. The elder had no objection, so how could I speak in front of Hideyori and Mrs. Yodo? She came to discuss it with me, but I just handed him the list I made. I really can¡¯t imagine the look on her face." Hideho subconsciously tightened the list in his hand. At this time, Yi Xin Chongchuan also joined the ranks of persuasion: "I'm sorry, my lord, only by taking this step can our family have a smooth road in the future. If you hesitate at this time, you will be wasting all your previous efforts, and it will make our family even worse." Falling into a more dangerous situation. "My lord, it's time." "Since you are so insistent, then I have no reason to hesitate." Hideho took a deep breath and ordered Aoki Kyuuki: "Inform Ukita and Maeda." The elder said that I had something important to discuss with them."
