"Song of Flattery"
Chapter 495 "Song of Flattery"
Siege is very boring, every siege is a contest of endurance between the attacker and the defender.Both the defender and the attacker will try their best to relieve the pressure on their own soldiers.
At this point, the attacking side has much more choices than the defending side.
Now that it was the end of the year, Hideyoshi ordered every soldier to be rewarded with a sip of rice wine and a stack of roasted pork. As for the lord daimyos, they naturally accepted Hideyoshi's banquet at Sounji Temple.
This banquet should be regarded as Hideyoshi's invitation to the world's great names to meet before the world is settled.
Because there are so many people who come, only those who have more than 2 Zhixing can enter Soun Temple, and the people who really enter the temple are all daimyos with more than 10 shi.
Of course, there are also exceptions. For example, Takeda Hidenobu, who was just allowed to restore the country, was allowed to enter the palace even though he only had 8 stones of knowledge and practice because of his status as the Takeda clan.
In order to show his closeness to the people, Hideyoshi put on a mask in person and performed Noh in front of everyone. Fukushima Masanori, Kato Kiyomasa and others were on both sides of him as backup dancers.
Although it has been many years since crossing over to the Warring States Period, the Xiu family still couldn't appreciate these things, so the Xiu family pulled Ogasawara Xiuzhen to the side and whispered.
One of the most important topics is to ask about the rewards you want after the war.
"Actually, I don't want to live in the mountain nest of Shinano for a long time. I want to transfer to Kanto with my brother." Ogasawara Xiuzhen said truthfully.
Hideka was taken aback when he heard his idea, and said to him, "What about your Ogasawara's Miao characters?"
Hearing Xiu's family talking about this topic, Xiuzhen looked a little disappointed and said, "Can't I walk in the world with Toyotomi's surname like my brother?"
For Xiuzhen's answer, Xiujia didn't know how to answer, following his emotions, he said, "You and I are pawns to Father, and Father will push us wherever he needs us.
Do you think I am sincerely willing to reseal Kanto?Isn't it because a pro-fan daimyo is needed to guard here. "
Hearing Xiu's answer, Ogasawara Xiuzhen also said regretfully, "The common people all use us lords as their fantasy targets, so how do they know our troubles?"
Xiujia took a sip of the wine plate and said to Ogasawara Xiuzhen, "There is a place to go, I don't know if you want to go."
Hearing that she could leave Shinano's mountain nest, Ogasawara Hidetada happily asked, "Where is my brother planning to transfer me to? Is it Hitachi or Shimono? Or is it Shangzong?"
The territory that Ogasawara Hidesada mentioned is relatively familiar in Kanto, but what name can Shimono and Hitachi use to make Utsunomiya and Satake move?
It would be a good place to settle Ogasawara Hideyoshi after the Satomi family's demise, but this place is very remote, so it can be said that it is relatively isolated overseas.
Coupled with the fact that it is close to Xiuzhen's house, it cannot reflect the role of Xiuzhen at all.
If the world is stable, the Xiu family would not mind having his brother by his side, but the Xiu family, who is familiar with the future history, would not like such a card to be wasted.
So he said to Xiuzhen, "Sanchun-Nihonsong-Baiheling is the gateway to the northeast, connecting Aizu to the west and Yuao to the north. Father must have a trustworthy genealogical daimyo to control such a critical geographical location."
After Xiujia said this, he looked around for a while and continued, "Look at the many big names here, how many people are really worthy of father's trust?
Most of them are ministers of the hidden mansion, and my father will not treat them too harshly, and most of them are rewarded around Kinki.If you can take over this errand, knowing how to do double is not a problem.The most important thing is that there is only one lower wilderness away from my Kanto. "
Ogasawara Hidetada followed Hideyoshi's words and looked at the daimyos present one by one. Indeed, as Hideyoshi said, it is difficult for Hideyoshi's retainer group to find really suitable people.
People who are trustworthy are too close. In this era when transferring the seal of Guandong can be regarded as distribution, it is obviously inappropriate for such a veteran to transfer to the Northeast.
But apart from these veterans, among the many daimyos in Hideyoshi's hands, or those who surrendered in recent years, or colleagues under the Oda family tent back then, there are really very few daimyos who can be trusted to monitor the Northeast for him.
It is said in history that Hideyoshi had a lot of interesting things when he chose who to transfer to Aizu. In the end, the short one chose Gamo's village to monitor Date Masamune.
Ogasawara Hideyoshi glanced around and seemed to think of something, then turned to the Hide family and said, "No, I remember that both Aizu and Nihonmatsu belong to the Date family!"
Hideka smiled and said, "To this day, even Soma, Iwaki and other families have come to Odawara, and Date Masamune has not come yet. Do you think Father will give him good fruit?"
After hearing this answer, Xiuzhen asked nervously: "After the Odawara Conquest, will there be another Ozhou Conquest?"
The Xiu family shook his head and said, "No, it's impossible. The Battle of Odawara gathered 20 soldiers and consumed more than 10 shi of food per month. Who in this world can afford such consumption.
What's more, Ozhou is remote and bitterly cold, so it is really not suitable for an army to travel far.Father should just punish the Date family a little bit, and finally acquiesced in their behavior of violating the order of nothing to do. "
Xiuzhen nodded ignorantly. According to what the Xiu family said, the Sanchun-Nihonsong-Baihe collar was probably scraped off from the Date family.
These territories were acquired by the Date family in the past two years. The local wealthy families were basically swept away by the Date family, but Date's foothold was not stable, and it seemed that it was indeed a good place to go.
But he still shook his head and refused, "Let's forget it. It's too cold in Odawara now, let alone the Northeast. I don't want to go to that place to suffer."
Hearing Xiuzhen's rejection of her proposal, Xiujia glanced at him, feeling sad and angry.
According to the results of the transfer of Gamo's township to Aizu in history, it is easy to say that his knowledge and practice doubled. will be less than 20.
To be honest, Ogasawara Xiuzhen is really a more suitable choice than Gamo's Township, but people don't want Xiujia and can't force them to go.
Besides, the Xiu family had never been to the Northeast, so it was impossible for her to deceive Xiuzhen by making nonsense that her knowledge and behavior doubled.
And for Xiujia, after moving Xiuzhen to Olu, he can indeed play a role, at least it can help him monitor the three families of Uesugi, Date and Satake.
But how should Bei Shinano be resettled after Xiuzhen moved away?
Now, with Takeda Hidenobu winning Kai Bankuni, Ogasawara Hidetada being awarded Kita Shinano, and Mikawa having Nakagawa Kiyohide and Tsutsui Joji, the old tortoise was basically crucified in Suruga by himself.
Once Ogasawara Xiuzhen moved away, it would mean that there was a gap in the blockade, and it was not up to the Xiu family to decide who would fill the gap after Xiuzhen moved away.
And this is one of the reasons why Xiujia chose to respect Ogasawara Hideyoshi's choice.
Just when Hideo was in a daze, Hideyoshi beside him called Hideo and brought Hideo's thoughts back to reality, only then did Hideo realize that the Noh dance just now had already been performed, and Hideyoshi was sitting on the throne panting with difficulty gruff.
Seeing Hideka's ecstasy, Hideyoshi said from above, "Hachiro seems not in high spirits today, and I didn't seem to listen to what I just said."
Hearing Hideyoshi's questioning, Xiujia hurriedly apologized and said, "I'm really sorry, because Xiaoju is about to give birth in the next day, so I'm a little worried, and I didn't hear the conversation of my father."
Hearing that Xiu's family was worried about Ju Ji's affairs, Hideyoshi's expression softened slightly and said to Xiu's family, "With Xiao Zhu and Ning Ning watching, Xiao Ju will definitely be able to give birth to a son for you."
"My lord father said so."
"Since Hachiro didn't hear it just now, please ask Your Highness Tokugawa to say it again."
It never occurred to the Xiu family that Tokugawa Ieyasu was suddenly involved.Looking at Tokugawa Ieyasu's smirk, he couldn't help but feel apprehensive.
"Yes~" Tokugawa Ieyasu said, "I just told His Highness Kanbai that General You wrote an impromptu poem in praise of Sanada Genjiro who bravely captured the city when Ueno Stable Bridge fell. I don't know what Your Highness is today Can you also compose a poem on the occasion of the situation, to help us enjoy it."
How can Xiujia know any poetry? It's nothing more than memorizing and modifying three routines. Now Tokugawa Ieyasu asked himself to compose a poem. A few days before the marriage, he cheated him of Kai Banguo. No matter what, Xiujia felt that there was a kind of He's cheating on his feelings.
As soon as Xiujia was about to resign, Maeda Toshiie who was opposite said, "I have long heard that General You is capable of both civil and military affairs, and that song "Song of Victory at Wenstable Bridge" has long been spread all over the world. luck."
Ogasawara Hidetada on the side also sent an assist and said, "General You's literary talent is naturally the best in the world. Since General You wants to compose poems, why don't I transcribe the poems for you."
When Xiujia heard this, she gave Xiuzhen a sharp look, her eyes filled with "Listen to me, thank you~"
Now the Xiu family is set on fire and can't do without writing poems, but now there is no theme for him to write poems, how can he know which one to copy?
Suddenly Hideyoshi's eyes turned and he thought, "Thousands of wears and flattery don't wear it. It's never wrong to write poems that praise Hideyoshi."
So Xiujia said, ""Song of the Prosperous Age""
King Feng determined Zhongzhou with one sword, and the famous city of Osaka controlled the upper reaches.
For a long time, Yiyang called it fertile soil, and frequently heard that rivers and Weis turned to boats.
Singing spring and fireworks market, guests dream of wind and cold Ludizhou.
Since it has been domineering for thousands of years, the dragon and the tiger are also golden.
Toyotomi is naturally referring to Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the meaning of the first sentence is to praise the story of Toyotomi Hideyoshi holding a sword to level the world.
The second sentence describes Hideyoshi building Osaka Castle to control the world.
Yiyang in the third game refers to Yizhou and Yangzhou in the Central Plains respectively, both of which are famous fertile land in history. Here, Hideyoshi is also called the most fertile land in the world.
The fourth chrysanthemum refers to the continuous transfer of grain and commodities to Luoyang by means of water transport from the Central Plains, referring to the boating in Osaka under Hideyoshi’s control, which continuously transfers goods from all over the world, to express the prosperity of Osaka under his control, and at the same time It also means that the road transportation in the whole world is smooth.
The fifth and sixth sentences are a further description of this prosperity, depicting a scene of prosperity.
The seventh and eighth sentences are the meaning of praising the majestic and dangerous terrain of the sky, as well as the integrity of the territory, and the aura of domineering will last for a long time.
There are really very few people who understand Sinology present. Don’t look at the people like Hideyoshi and Tokugawa who are arty and let Hideo write poems. It’s really waiting for Hideo to read the fourth of Gu Shoutao’s "Eight Poems of Autumn" , Frozen is that everyone understands the meaning.
But this does not prevent them from cheering for the Xiu family, anyway, it is right to say something that they don't understand.
All the people here are daimyo, and they are all famous people outside, how can they ask such low words "what does your poem mean" on this occasion?
Even if they don't understand the meaning of the poem, isn't Ogasawara Hidetada still transcribing it for the Hide family?
But to be honest, there are too many metaphors in Xiujia's poem, and Ogasawara Hidetada spent a long time transcribing it without memorizing many of them. In the end, Xiujia had to write down the original text by himself.
Others can go back and ask retainers with poems, but Hideyoshi and Tokugawa Ieyasu can't. They are the ones who started this topic. In the end, I don't understand how to write this poem.
So Hideyoshi took the poems written by Xiujia and called Sen Rikyu to explain. Sen Rikyu is a master of Buddhism and Sinology, and he basically understood the meaning of Xiujia's poems at a glance.
"Good! Good! Good!" He shouted "Yes" three times in front of everyone, and then held up the paper with the poems written on it to explain each word to everyone.
After everyone listened to it, they all had an expression of "Oh~ so you mean that, my lord".
And Hideyoshi, who was sitting in the main seat, was very happy to hear Hideo's flattery, and immediately asked Hideo to sign the paper, and finally wrote a comment on the side.
"The verses are magnificent, the praises are decent, and they are the best work." Then he stamped his own seal on the side, not sure if he was praising Xiu's verses or himself.
The atmosphere of the banquet was pushed to a climax with Hideka's "Song of the Prosperous Age", Maeda Toshiie also praised Hideka, "You really deserve to be a right general with both civil and military skills."
Taking advantage of Hideyoshi's happiness, he suggested to Hideyoshi, "I am really envious that Your Highness has a son like General You. I wonder if you can share some honor with me?"
"Oh? What does Councilor Takaoka want to say?"
"I have a daughter called Yumian, who is about the same age as General You and hopes to establish a good family relationship with General You. I know that General You's first wife is the daughter of the Great Nagon of Gifu.
Compared with Gifu Dainagon, the ministers are like Fuyou and the sun and the moon who dare not compete with him, so they dare not ask for the position of the main room, but only ask for the position of a side room. "
Toyotomi Hideyoshi was in high spirits at the moment, and a flattering poem by the Hideo family made him a little lost.
Normally, he would not want to see such a strong fan teaming up with a strong fan, but today he agreed to it out of nowhere for some unknown reason.
On the contrary, Xiujia refused, "Please consider this matter."
Maeda Toshiie was stunned when he heard Hideyoshi's objection, and he also became cold when he saw Hideyoshi agreeing with a smile on his face. He didn't understand why Hideyoshi refused this request, it was already discussed before going to Kanto.
But I heard Xiujia explain here, "Princess Yumen is different from other women. She is the daughter of Takaoka Councilor, so I implore her to be a half-ranked wife to show the respect of the Maeda family."
"A flat wife?"
Everyone is unfamiliar with this gift. As mentioned above, Japan does not have the meaning of flat wife, and the concubine is often the name for the duty of a strong flat wife.
Fortunately, Sen Norikyu was present at this time, and he explained the definition of a hira wife to Hideyoshi and Maeda Toshiie. Maeda Toshiie found out that Hideyoshi valued and avoided, and suddenly felt that he did not misunderstand the person.
On the contrary, Hideyoshi asked with a dignified expression, "If that's the case, who is in charge of family affairs?"
"Of course Xiaoju is in full charge, and Yu Fang will assist you."
Seeing that Hideyoshi still put Juji in the main position, Hideyoshi was a little relieved and agreed to Hideka's arrangement.
In fact, the most important thing for him to promise the Xiu family whether to marry or avoid being a flat wife is to see the effect of the Xiu family's flat wife. To be honest, he has nothing to coax Chacha now.
This woman already has the same power as Ningning, all she lacks is fame.
Hideyoshi thought in his heart: "If the Xiu family's policy of equal wives is effective, he might be able to grant Chacha the status of equal wife according to the gourd painting, so maybe it can make Chacha happy."
