How could Hideho, who had experienced the turmoil of troubled times, not know what Yuhito was thinking. When he had just inherited the position of head of the Yamato Toyotomi clan, he wanted to make a difference, but he was tormented by his old ministers. Therefore, there was a conversation between ancestors and grandson just now. "In those days, your great-grandfather was revered as "Yamato Yamato" and was respected by the world. Unfortunately, he died early, forcing me to take up the important job at the age of twelve. At that time, there were no rumors like you heard, but people were always talking about it. Don¡¯t compare what I did with your great-grandfather. Living in his shadow, I was not only helpless, but the retainers under my command were much more domineering than those in the court now.¡± Recalling that time a few decades ago, Hideho said. A bitter smile: "At that time, I was thinking, it would be great if my father was still alive. Even if he was just watching from the side, those guys would never dare to make mistakes." "But you survived in the end, and it took a few years to Keep the house in order." Youren also remembers Hideho's deeds clearly. "But do you know how much I have gone through in the middle? I know your father has told you many stories about me, but most of them are superficially glorious, and the inner suffering may not even be known to him. I don't want you to feel that so-called All success comes naturally and naturally, which is why I rarely mention the past to you. "Perhaps it took too much energy. Xiubao paused for a while, and Youren wanted to pour him a glass of hot water. Hideho waved his hand and refused. "I also hope that you will take the lead and hold up the whole world, but your father passed away suddenly, some forces are undercurrent, some policies must maintain continuity, and your bloodline This is why I dare not let go. "The reason." "My bloodline?" Hearing this, Yourito was a little surprised: "What's wrong with my bloodline? My father is from the 'Masachika-Seihito' line, and my mother is the daughter of Emperor Koka, so she's legitimate. "Then why did you intentionally or unintentionally alienate me and your father's old ministers and turn to those nominal officials? Do you feel that our legal system is still lacking, so much so that you look down on it yourself?" He wanted to open his mouth to retort, but was speechless, so he had to lower his head and remain silent. "You may think that your bloodline is more 'pure' than your father's, but you have to know that our lineage is your basic base. To deviate from them and pursue or even correct the so-called 'orthodoxy' is because of the small The loss is huge and the consequences are endless. To a certain extent, your blood has been of no other use since you became the heir thirty years ago. I know this is cruel and very unfair to your mother. Fair enough, but if you want to become the master of Japan today, you are destined to give up some things. Those long-standing public Chinese families can be regarded as decorations on the vase when the government is stable, but if the government is unstable one day, it will be a disaster. With their lip service and colluding with the old royal family to stir up trouble, not to mention stabilizing the situation, even the throne may not be stable. By then, it will be too late to regret. After experiencing these two turmoils, you should also know, Who are those ministers, and who can really help you? I am an old man, your father died young, and the ministers in the court are actually thinking, without us, who will bless and protect them. ? At this time, if you reach out your hand and I give you a push from behind, won't everything go smoothly? Don't be paranoid about treating them as my people. They are loyal to our clan. If I leave, they will be yours and belong to you. "Children and grandchildren, why should we sacrifice the good for the weak and the near for the distant?" Hearing this, Yourito's frown gradually relaxed, and he basically understood what Hideho meant: "To be honest with you, grandfather, I did have some knots in my heart before, but after you said this, it is completely clear." It¡¯s solved. I have begun to reuse ministers such as Toudo Takaaki and Nasu Susunari, and I have also alienated and restricted their participation in political affairs.¡± ¡°I am not forcing you to alienate them. They are talented and virtuous. Of course they can be reused," Hideho said earnestly, "You have to see the overall situation clearly. Since the 'Imperial Reform', your father and I have promulgated new policies and quelled riots time and time again, even at the expense of family genealogy. What? On the one hand, it is to weaken the conservative and stubborn forces represented by the old royal family and the public family; on the other hand, it is to attack the traditional local powerful, continue to blur the boundaries between the military family and the public family, integrate them, and eliminate the centuries-old public-military opposition. Only by achieving "no distinction between public and military affairs, all are ministers" can we ensure the concentration of power and the unification of political orders. At the same time, I hope you can understand that using the contradiction between public and military affairs to consolidate imperial power cannot last long. The only way to improve one's own strength is to rely on the Ming Dynasty. Bless and learn from the essence of the Ming Dynasty, strengthen your own strength, gradually establish absolute authority, and create a lasting legacy. This is not only a historical responsibility for you and me, but also for our family. It is a pity that your father passed away.?, I will see him soon. From now on, this will all be left to you. " "Grandpa! "Hearing this, Yuhito really understood Hideho's good intentions, and realized how limited his own situation was, how lofty his grandfather's ambition was, and how much suffering his grandfather and father had endured and cleared up for him. How many obstacles. But he woke up too late. Next, he was the only one carrying the burden. Thinking of this, Yuren couldn't help but burst into tears. He held Hideho's arm tightly, and Hideho's tired face forced out. With a smile, he raised his hand and gently touched Youren's forehead. The Youren in front of him seemed to have turned back into the naughty and cute little grandson who always cried and acted like a spoiled child when he was wronged. Three days later, he was exiled to Hachijo Island. Prince Kennin's family was pardoned and returned to Kyoto. Although Prince Kennin's direct grandson, who had previously been renamed "Hachijo Mitsujun", had all his fiefdoms confiscated, he was restored to the imperial status and his original name of Junhito, and was awarded the title of "Prince of Shiga County" , was allowed to retain the palace title of "Sakamoto Palace", and was responsible for worshiping Prince Kenhito and taking care of the "Plum Garden". Hideho also immediately summoned his family to Dongmei Palace, and sternly reprimanded him in front of Hishito and other royal families, asking him to do so in the future. Be loyal to the emperor, abide by the court etiquette, and everyone must obey orders. Late at night on February 12, Kyoto was thundering and raining heavily. After Hideho issued an order prohibiting his wife, concubines, and ministers from being buried, he carried his expectations for Yuhito, his attachment to the country, and his future. A trace of worry about the general situation of the world, he died of illness in Dongming Palace at the age of eighty-four. More than a hundred royal ministers including the "Four Palaces and Four Fengchen" gathered in Dongming Palace, and the sound of wailing and crying resounded throughout the court to give him a posthumous title. Xuanming", later generations called him "Emperor Xuanming" or "Emperor Xuanming"; the Ming Dynasty gave him the posthumous title "Zhong", and Emperor Tianqi sent his prince to Kyoto to pay homage in person. The grandness of the funeral and the mourning and honor after death have never been seen throughout Japanese history. After the rain, the sun shines through the dense woods and into the window, making the tidy room more transparent and brighter. On the white bed in the center of the room, a young man slowly opens his eyes under the sunlight, laboriously. Looking around, he moved his lips weakly, but could not speak. He raised his left hand with difficulty, and dropped it heavily after a moment. The sound woke up the girl who was taking a nap on the chair next to the bed. "Doctor Sanhao, come to Ward 302. , Mr. Wang woke up! "The girl dressed in white ran out the door nervously.
