Chapter 439
The Xiu family looked at Xiu Chang with doubts. Just now, he was not so taboo when he talked so carelessly about his work that he would be transferred to the Kanto. What is the big deal now that even the Zhiyun Academy has to be invited out.
In fact, the Xiu family had prepared for the fact that he might be transferred to another country in the future.After all, being in Okayama with his size is indeed a threat to Hideyoshi.
For Hideyoshi, Kibi only needs to be guarded by a trustworthy person with a size of 30 to 50, who can block the Maori and Kyushu daimyo from the west.
A person like Xiujia with 135 million shi who can still beat a thief is indeed a supermodel if he is placed so close to Osaka and Kyoto.
Two years ago, when I was suspected by the Xiu family and Hideyoshi, I already expected that I might be transferred or changed in the future, but I didn't expect that I would be arranged to go to Kanto, the place where the old tortoise went in history.
Xiujia and Xiuchang had already talked a lot, and Xiuchang's body couldn't take it anymore. He leaned on the wooden armchair with the foreskin, his head tilted to one side weakly.
Xiujia stepped forward to support his back, letting his head rest comfortably on his chest.
Hidetoshi tried his best but still said in a weak tone in Hideka's ear, "Hachiro, I want to ask you for a favor."
It was the first time for Xiujia to hear Xiuchang talking to herself in such a humble tone, and her heart couldn't help but hang up, "Tell me first, what is it?"
"Our generation may have committed too many crimes in the past, which caused my brother and my heirs to fail to prosper. As Guan Bai, my brother was blessed by God's mandate. After he gained power, he got two children, Husong and Hesong. .
But I am 49 now, and my eldest son, Koichiro, died shortly after birth. I know my physical condition now. Even with proper medical treatment, it is very difficult to have another child. "
Toyotomi Hidecho paused for a moment when he said this, looked up and scanned the room, and continued to the Hide family, "It's a pity that no one can inherit my huge family business."
The Xiu family's first reaction when they heard Xiuchang's words was, "This is the world's pie! Xiuchang plans to give me his million stones!"
But if you think about it carefully, it's impossible. Regardless of how Hideonaga thinks about it, even on Hideyoshi's side, you don't agree!
What's more, when Xiuchang talked with himself about the transfer of the seal, that gesture didn't have the slightest idea of passing on the family business to him.If you have this idea, there is no need to negotiate terms with yourself.
After a moment of silence, the Xiu family was still unsure of Xiuchang's attitude, and said to Xiuchang, "Uncle has something to say."
Xiuchang, who was lying in Xiujia's arms, seemed to have made a strong mental preparation, and his obviously thin body burst out with great strength.
Xiuchang's left hand grabbed Xiujia's left arm, and he said to Xiujia bravely, "Please adopt Husong to my family, Hachiro."
"!!!"
Xiujia was not sure whether he heard what Xiuchang said clearly. The main reason was that Xiuchang's request at the moment was somewhat unexpected. He asked Xiuchang again, "Master Uncle, what did you just say? Didn't hear clearly."
Facing Hideka's questioning again, Hideaga still dragged his weak tone and said, "I know this matter may be very disturbing to you, but I would like to request that Humatsu be adopted by Toyotomi of Gifu."
This time, the Xiu family was sure that he had heard clearly, but he still couldn't believe it and confirmed Husong's identity information to Xiuchang. He asked Xiuchang, "Husong. It refers to the one born to my father and my biological mother with Tianzheng ten years ago." , my brother by blood?"
"Yes, it's Husong."
After getting the confirmed answer from Xiuchang, Xiuchang took a deep breath and asked in disbelief, "Why is Uncle so interested in Husong?"
Then he said to Xiuchang in a evasive tone, "Besides, Husong is the second son of my father, and the oldest heir today. Even if I agree to this matter, my father will not agree."
However, Xiuchang gave the Xiu family another blow, "I have already asked my brother about this matter, and he agrees in principle, as long as you approve, he will inherit Husong into the Gifu family."
"!!!"
It is difficult for the Hideyoshi to understand Hideyoshi's arrangement. You must know that Hideyoshi's wife Ning Ning has never been able to give birth to children. Whether it is the previous Ishimatsumaru or the current Husong Hesong is born in Hideyoshi's concubine.
After Ishimatsumaru's death, Husong was Hideyoshi's eldest son, and under the control of the Hideyoshi family, he was adopted under Ning Ning's name, and he was the direct son of Hideyoshi Gen Masamiaohong.
Since ancient times, the adoption of a son to a relative's family is the second son or the bastard's adoption. Even if Hideyoshi wants someone to inherit Hidecho's family business, he should adopt Tsurumong. How could he adopt Husong?
Thinking of this, the Xiu family still did not give up and asked, "After all, Hu Song is the son of Gaotaiyuan. After all, he is the eldest son of the family. How can there be any reason to adopt the eldest son and keep the second son by his side? The court will definitely not agree."
However, Xiujia was going to return disappointed today, and Xiuchang gave the answer that Xiujia couldn't believe, "The Gaotaiyuan knew about this matter, and they acquiesced."
"What?! How could it be?"
Not to mention that Xiu's family can't believe it, no one wants to believe the authenticity of this matter outside.
After all, if this matter is left to the East Asian thought circle to take care of itself, it means abolishing the sons and daughters, abolishing the elders and establishing the young, and putting it in the Ming Dynasty.
And logically speaking, Ningning, who is Husong's mother, has no reason to agree with this matter. As the saying goes, a mother is more expensive than a child. If Ning Ning holds Husong in her hands, she will be a proper political position after Husong succeeds in the future. , the most honorable woman in the world.
Now Hideyoshi has only two children, one Husong and Hesong. If Husong is adopted to Toyotomi Hideo's family, then after Hesong succeeds to the throne in the future, Chacha is bound to be as high as in history, and Ningning is in the harem. Influence is bound to be affected.
Xiujia really didn't understand. Although Ning Ning did not have much political savvy, she was not so stupid. The only possibility was that she was affected by a stronger force majeure.
"Your uncle, don't lie to me. I'm afraid it was Father's idea. But why did he abandon the older Husong and choose the younger Hesong?"
Hearing that the Xiu family had guessed the situation behind it, Xiu Chang also sighed and said to the Xiu family, "Since you asked today, I will tell you everything.
Husong is not as smart as Hesong, and he develops his wisdom later, and he can't even speak complete sentences when he is 6 years old.On the other hand, He Song is only 4 years old now, but he can already speak coherent sentences.
In addition, after the tiger pine fell from the tree last time, the head was affected, and the saliva from the corners of the mouth could not be controlled even when sitting on the seat, which really damaged the image of Toyotomi.
In the future, the governor of the Toyotomi family will need to subdue the world with majesty. If the world's great names see that their master is such a paralyzed guy, how much respect will they have for the Toyotomi family?
Brother originally intended to entrust your original Bizen and Meizuo to Husong after you transfer the seal of Kanto, and then give him a group of retainers to take care of him, so that it can continue as a branch family.
After I heard about this, I revealed to him the idea of wanting Husong to inherit the family. After all, you are his blood brother and my son-in-law, so it is more suitable than others to succeed you. "
Hearing that the Xiu family here was silent, he didn't expect Husong's problem to be so serious.Hu Song was originally a child born late by his mother, and he saw that his brain was not very bright when he was a child.
The Xiu family had already seen a sign, so they tried every means to give Ning Ning as their son. In this way, he would be Hideyoshi's legitimate son, and his identity would surpass that of Tsurumong and Shiwan, even if he was not very smart, he could rely on The advantage of status became the master of the Toyotomi clan.
In this way, as the son of Hideyoshi who is the same as him, and his elder brother with double identity and blood, he has sufficient reasons to assist the government.
In his original plan, even if the "Battle of Sekigahara" happened, with this status, he would still be the absolute general.
Without Ishida Mitsunari on the sidelines, defeating Tokugawa Ieyasu would be much easier.But Xiujia didn't expect that after the Kyushu War the year before last, the tiger pine accidentally fell from a tree and hit his head.
Hu Song was originally just a little dull in his mind, and there was no problem in his behavior. This matter was not a big deal, nor was he demented.
But this fall directly broke the nerves. As Hideyoshi said, Husong couldn't control his mouth voluntarily, and the saliva would flow from the side. intolerable.
With Hideyoshi's temperament, he only thought about replacing Xiao after two years of letting Husong heal him. In fact, he was already looking at the face of his being the son of Ning Ning and the younger brother of the Xiu family.
If this was just an ordinary concubine's concubine, he would have given away a random kind of nourishment a long time ago. As long as he can pass on the family, he doesn't need to participate in other things.
The Xiu family was also speechless when they heard this, Husong's fault Hideyoshi was well sealed off here, although there were occasional rumors, but these voices would soon disappear, which shows that Hideyoshi still protects Husong in essence.
(Perhaps it was to protect his face. After all, he didn't want Ran to know that he was a wise man and gave birth to a fool.)
Xiujia knew in his heart that although Xiuchang said that he was asking for his own opinion, even Ningning agreed to let go, so what right did he have to contradict Hideyoshi?
Now that Xiuchang is still there, it is the best ending for Husong to get the inheritance rights of Gifu's huge territory of 105 million koku.
If the Xiu family got stuck at this time and missed this village, the next time Hideyoshi forced Husong to replace him, Husong's result might be only 3/5 stones a piece of land, and he would be left alive.
After thinking about all this clearly, the Xiu family pursed their lips helplessly, and said to Xiuchang, "Although this is not fair to Husong, it may be the best fate for him. Uncle can live in this kind of situation." I still think of Hu Song at the time, my boy is here to thank Uncle on Hu Song's behalf."
After the Xiu family finished saying this, Husong's fate was officially finalized, and he would act as the heir of the Toyotomi clan and join the Toyotomi clan in Gifu.
According to the tradition of family inheritance in Japan, it is a habit to value the family name more than the blood.
Husong joined Jixiu's eldest family, even though he used to have the status of a legitimate son under the name of Ning Ning, and he was also a pro-son of Hideyoshi's blood, but in terms of family inheritance, it has been completely separated from the clan for a long time.
Even if Husong had the opportunity to inherit the Toyotomi clan again in the future, it would have to be after Hideyoshi's own sons and adopted sons had all died before he could be carried into the sect as a concubine to inherit.
It may be more intuitive to put it another way: Husong, who has the identity of the son of the eldest son and the parent of Hideyoshi, after this moment, his right to inherit the Toyotomi clan, from the first in line to the bottom, even in the ranking of the Hideyoshi family. Before.
After hearing Xiujia let go, Xiuchang finally breathed a sigh of relief. He gently let go of my Xiujia's arm. After all, what he was most afraid of was that Xiujia would violently do stupid things after hearing that his younger brother was deprived of his inheritance rights.
At that time, with the size and ability of the Xiu family, the Toyotomi family will inevitably fall into internal strife. Even if the civil strife in the Xiu family can be assessed in the end, it will consume a lot of money for the Toyotomi family.
You must know that this is an eventful time. There are turmoil in Kyushu Chietan in the south, and Hojo in the north is resisting. If there is civil strife in Toyotomi's family at this time, it may affect the direction of peace in the world.
The most important thing is that both Husong and Hesong are still in grades, but he and Hideyoshi are both older, especially in this situation of his own body, if something happens to him and Hideyoshi, Toyotomi may be as old as weaving. Tian's old affairs, which neither he nor Hideyoshi can afford.
All of this is something Hideyoshi absolutely does not want to see!
And there is another reason why he firmly grasped Xiujia's arm, because he knew very well that Hideyoshi was on the other side of the door of this room, eavesdropping on the news here, and staying with him at the other side of the door. Behind, there are dozens of warriors in yellow mother clothes!
Just now he instinctively grabbed the Xiu family's arm, because his heart was already in his throat, and he was afraid that after the Xiu family refused here, the elder brother behind the door would mess up the Xiu family for the sake of the overall situation of the Toyotomi family. He slashed to death in front of himself with a knife!
You must know that the Xiu family is the mainstay of the younger generation of the Toyotomi family, and even his own son-in-law!
It would be fine if Ju Ji didn't have a child, but now that Ju Ji is pregnant, with his elder brother's temperament, he doesn't care about the softness of bones, and it's his habit to cut grass and roots.
Now that he heard Xiujia let go, he finally let go of his hanging heart, and after motioning to Xiujia to serve him with a drink of water to ease his mood, he continued to say to Xiujia, "Do you have any requirements for Husong's successor to the family? Just ask, As long as I can do it, I will definitely help you to mention it.”
"No more, let Hu Song inherit a million stones, what extravagance do I have?"
In fact, Hideka was telling the truth, but after hearing Hideonaga's repeated inquiries, Hideka tentatively asked, "Since Bizen and Misaku are the places of knowledge and practice that Father planned to award to Husong, then in our After leaving, can this land be sealed to him as usual, and counted in his knowledge and practice?
The family has ruled Jibei for many years, and the samurai here trust and respect the family. Instead of finding another family to inherit Jibei, it is better to award this place to Husong. I think the Jibei samurai will assist Husong just like I assisted me. "
"This request is not too much. I will ask my elder brother. The left and right are just cutting off part of my Gifu domain to compensate for Tibet."
Xiuchang nodded, indicating that he would fulfill this request, and then said, "Actually, even if you don't tell me, I would like to propose to you to leave some trusted warriors to assist Husong.
To put it bluntly, the samurai under my command are a little distant from Hu Song. After all, he is your brother by blood. If he can get the assistance of your samurai, he will not be alone in my family. "
What Hidecho meant was that most of the samurai on his side belonged to the Nobuo faction, and he never said in the past that he wanted a successor.
It would be fine if the governor was a normal person, but Husong is a disabled person, so how could the old ministers who had nothing to do with him take him seriously, and he would be dismissed as time goes by.
He hoped that the Xiu family could leave some caring retainers for Husong after transferring the seal of Kanto, and the most important thing was to balance the internal restraints of the retainers within the Gifu family, so that Husong would not be led by the nose by the retainers.
This point is actually exactly the same as the Hide family's suggestion that Hideyoshi send retainers to Ogasawara Hidetada's house.
The Xiu family is well aware of the reason for Xiuchang's request, but transferring the seal of Guandong is a big deal, and the local forces here are deeply rooted, so they must take care of themselves to a limited extent.
So I can only temporarily promise Xiuchang that he will discuss with the retainers after returning home, select some trustworthy and capable retainers, and add some second sons of the retainers who have no inheritance rights to form Husong's retainer group as much as possible.
Xiuchang expressed his understanding of the difficulties of the Xiu family, and said that this matter is not urgent, and he will also choose a suitable hindsight for Husong in the next period of time.
At the end of this topic, Xiu Zhang still did not forget to tell Xiu Jia: The two things I said today were just to discuss ideas with him in advance, and they have not been fully settled. Before such a major event has not been decided in advance, do not leak the news. .
Xiujia also agreed.
It was already afternoon when Xiu's family arrived in Kyoto, and it was already dark when the uncles and nephews were talking, maybe Xiu Zhang had ordered that no one should be disturbed, it was obvious that no one came to ask for instructions after the meal.
It wasn't until the two of them finished talking that Xiuchang shouted out, and Zhiyunyuan and the maids who were waiting outside came in nervously, and cooperated with Xiu's family to put Xiuchang on the couch again.
During the process, Xiujia was actually a little puzzled, why Zhiyunyuan's expression was so tense, but after thinking about it, maybe it was because Xiuchang insisted on talking with him for so long that it would affect his condition.
So after the incident, the Xiu family couldn't stop apologizing to Zhiyun Academy, saying, "I'm really sorry, aunt, it's because I was obsessed with talking with my uncle and forgot about my uncle's body. Send it together with ginseng, and I think my uncle's health will improve when he arrives."
Facing the Xiu family's apology, Zhiyunyuan couldn't explain the pain, but just declined, and finally Xiuchang said, "It's getting late, you should go back and rest quickly, and prepare for tomorrow's brother's duet. It really took too much energy for me to talk to you so much today, so I have to rest early."
Xiuchang issued an order to evict guests, and the Xiu family naturally had no reason to stay any longer. After bidding farewell to Zhiyunyuan and Xiuchang, they left Xiuchang's mansion.

It would be fine if Ju Ji didn't have a child, but now that Ju Ji is pregnant, with his elder brother's temperament, he doesn't care about the softness of bones, and it's his habit to cut grass and roots.
Now that he heard Xiujia let go, he finally let go of his hanging heart, and after motioning to Xiujia to serve him with a drink of water to ease his mood, he continued to say to Xiujia, "Do you have any requirements for Husong's successor to the family? Just ask, As long as I can do it, I will definitely help you to mention it.”
"No more, let Hu Song inherit a million stones, what extravagance do I have?"
In fact, Hideka was telling the truth, but after hearing Hideonaga's repeated inquiries, Hideka tentatively asked, "Since Bizen and Misaku are the places of knowledge and practice that Father planned to award to Husong, then in our After leaving, can this land be sealed to him as usual, and counted in his knowledge and practice?
The family has ruled Jibei for many years, and the samurai here trust and respect the family. Instead of finding another family to inherit Jibei, it is better to award this place to Husong. I think the Jibei samurai will assist Husong just like I assisted me. "
"This request is not too much. I will ask my elder brother. The left and right are just cutting off part of my Gifu domain to compensate for Tibet."
Xiuchang nodded, indicating that he would fulfill this request, and then said, "Actually, even if you don't tell me, I would like to propose to you to leave some trusted warriors to assist Husong.
To put it bluntly, the samurai under my command are a little distant from Hu Song. After all, he is your brother by blood. If he can get the assistance of your samurai, he will not be alone in my family. "
What Hidecho meant was that most of the samurai on his side belonged to the Nobuo faction, and he never said in the past that he wanted a successor.
It would be fine if the governor was a normal person, but Husong is a disabled person, so how could the old ministers who had nothing to do with him take him seriously, and he would be dismissed as time goes by.
He hoped that the Xiu family could leave some caring retainers for Husong after transferring the seal of Kanto, and the most important thing was to balance the internal restraints of the retainers within the Gifu family, so that Husong would not be led by the nose by the retainers.
This point is actually exactly the same as the Hide family's suggestion that Hideyoshi send retainers to Ogasawara Hidetada's house.
The Xiu family is well aware of the reason for Xiuchang's request, but transferring the seal of Guandong is a big deal, and the local forces here are deeply rooted, so they must take care of themselves to a limited extent.
So I can only temporarily promise Xiuchang that he will discuss with the retainers after returning home, select some trustworthy and capable retainers, and add some second sons of the retainers who have no inheritance rights to form Husong's retainer group as much as possible.
Xiuchang expressed his understanding of the difficulties of the Xiu family, and said that this matter is not urgent, and he will also choose a suitable hindsight for Husong in the next period of time.
At the end of this topic, Xiu Zhang still did not forget to tell Xiu Jia: The two things I said today were just to discuss ideas with him in advance, and they have not been fully settled. Before such a major event has not been decided in advance, do not leak the news. .
Xiujia also agreed.
It was already afternoon when Xiu's family arrived in Kyoto, and it was already dark when the uncles and nephews were talking, maybe Xiu Zhang had ordered that no one should be disturbed, it was obvious that no one came to ask for instructions after the meal.
It wasn't until the two of them finished talking that Xiuchang shouted out, and Zhiyunyuan and the maids who were waiting outside came in nervously, and cooperated with Xiu's family to put Xiuchang on the couch again.
During the process, Xiujia was actually a little puzzled, why Zhiyunyuan's expression was so tense, but after thinking about it, maybe it was because Xiuchang insisted on talking with him for so long that it would affect his condition.
So after the incident, the Xiu family couldn't stop apologizing to Zhiyun Academy, saying, "I'm really sorry, aunt, it's because I was obsessed with talking with my uncle and forgot about my uncle's body. Send it together with ginseng, and I think my uncle's health will improve when he arrives."
Facing the Xiu family's apology, Zhiyunyuan couldn't explain the pain, but just declined, and finally Xiuchang said, "It's getting late, you should go back and rest quickly, and prepare for tomorrow's brother's duet. It really took too much energy for me to talk to you so much today, so I have to rest early."
Xiuchang issued an order to evict guests, and the Xiu family naturally had no reason to stay any longer. After bidding farewell to Zhiyunyuan and Xiuchang, they left Xiuchang's mansion.
