Chapter 20 Chapter 20 Withdrawal of troops from North Korea

The death of Toyotomi Hideyoshi was expected by Tokugawa Ieyasu; he had also thought about the method of withdrawing troops from North Korea.Taige's life is not long... From the moment he had this idea, Ieyasu felt that he needed to think about something.Once he made a slight mistake and Hideyoshi passed away, the world would be in chaos. Even if the situation was not that serious, if the mobilized ships were not enough, we could only watch hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers die in North Korea.If such an ending happens, Hideyoshi will not only not be a hero of the world, but will become a person who brings shame to Japan and will remain infamous for thousands of years.

In fact, Hideyoshi himself knew this matter best, so three days before his death, that is, August 15th of the third year of Qingcho, he deliberately called Ieyasu to his pillow, entrusted him with tears in his eyes, and asked Ieyasu to take on the big responsibility. .But for Ieyasu, it was not easy.The world is like a big bag, no matter where there is a small gap, it is very likely to become an irreparable flaw.Things like Taige's secret burial at Amitabha Peak and eating carp during the funeral had to be left to 30%.But in the matter of withdrawing troops, there must be no sloppiness in the slightest—even though 30% can fake orders, he is not familiar with the battlefield.At this time, we must try our best to stabilize the officers and soldiers living in North Korea, and prevent them from knowing the truth, so as not to cause morale to plummet and cause catastrophe.

While Ieyasu was thinking hard in the mansion, on the morning of August 25th, on the seventh and fifth day after Hideyoshi's death, Ieyasu was asked to go to the city to discuss government affairs.Of course, before that, Sancheng was also following his own plan, frequently contacting his close ministers to win over everyone. When Ieyasu entered the city, Maeda Toshiie had already arrived.Among the five elders, apart from Uesugi Jingsheng who was still in Aizu territory, who couldn't make it for a while, Ukita Hideka and Mori Terumoto also hadn't arrived yet.Perhaps, Sancheng didn't take Xiujia and Huiyuan seriously at all.

"Inner Palace, Taige has finally let go." Li Jia, who came first, was listless, his eyelids were still a little swollen, and he wiped the corners of his eyes.Although he smiled slightly, his voice was still trembling, "If I can go west on behalf of Taige..." "Yes, Taige's death is really sad." "Just now I heard from the monks that Taige was most concerned about how to deal with the situation of the Korean War. He also left a last word to strictly seal the news of his death and withdraw the officers and soldiers from the Korean battlefield as soon as possible."

Ieyasu nodded vigorously: "Since we have left a will, we have to implement it. We must come up with a surefire plan as soon as possible." When the two of them said these words, Misun in the same seat looked up at the painting of peonies painted on the roof by the painter Kano Yongtoku that Hideyoshi had ordered before his death. "The meaning of Zhibu Shaofu is to follow the Taige's last order, let our five elders jointly sign the withdrawal letter, and then send envoys to the court." Li Jia, who is cautious in everything, seems to be pleasing others with every word he says , "Regarding this matter, Taige also left a will during his lifetime. I think we should discuss it with the inner government first."

Ieyasu nodded vigorously again, and turned to Sancheng, "Master Uesugi is not here, so we can only sign with four people. What do you think?" "Of course, since both the Neifu and Da Nayan have made a decision, how dare we have any objections? Maori-sama and Ukita-sama must also agree with the two adults." "That's how it is." Ieyasu, who is usually not easy to express his opinions, was unexpectedly straightforward today, which made Sancheng full of vigilance.When he secretly visited Ieyasu before, what Ieyasu said was almost exactly what he thought. Is Ieyasu also expressing his feelings directly today?

At this moment, the other four executives came.Nagatsu Masaka, who just came from Osaka, walked in front, followed by Masuda, Maeda, and Asano.Wu Fengxing sat at the same table with the two elders. In this way, the withdrawal of troops is completely in accordance with 30% of the ideas.Of course, on Ieyasu's side, he had already said hello, and he probably made an agreement with Ukita, Mori, and even Uesugi from Aizu. "Danayan also said just now, before making a decision, I have something to say to Shaosuke Jibu first..." As soon as everyone sat down, Ieyasu said, "When Taiko was alive, Shaosuke Jibu was too deep. The cabinet trusts and values ​​it highly, and this time the troops are dispatched, I also ask the young assistant to shoulder the heavy burden bravely and do my best."

"I also know the weight of my burden." "However, there are enemies among the generals..." As he spoke, Ieyasu glanced at Wu Fengxing quickly, "therefore, the most important thing is who to send as the envoy. I think it is better to send someone with a reputation. Rutoku Nagato and Miyamoto Toyosuke. What objection does Dai Nagen have to this?" Toshika felt that Ieyasu's words were too sudden.Now even who will send the letter of withdrawal signed by the elders has not yet been decided. Ieyasu suddenly mentioned the choice of envoys. He was a little puzzled, "The meaning of the inner government is to send these two people to the local area?"

"Exactly." "Then, the candidates to be sent to Bodo must first..." "That's needless to say? Since it is Taige's intention, and the elders jointly signed it, it is naturally better for Jibu Shaosuke to go in person." "That's right, I think so too." Li Jia nodded earnestly, but Sancheng was taken aback: I didn't expect Jia Yasu to think so highly of his prestige, which caught him by surprise.Could it be that Ieyasu had already regarded him as one of his own, so he took the initiative to flatter him? Sancheng was thinking about this when I heard Ieyasu continue: "Of course Shaosuke Jibu is going, but it may not be solemn enough to go alone. Therefore, Asano Nagamasa and Mori Hidemoto should also go together. You must discuss it properly , so as to ensure that no contradictions and conflicts are caused." Ieyasu's tone was stern, completely ordering.

Sancheng glanced at Lijia angrily.These words are by no means unfavorable to Sancheng, but Ieyasu's attitude made him unbearable: the person in front of him seemed to be a man of the world!To Ieyasu's aggressive aura, how Toshika will react is undoubtedly what Sancheng is most concerned about. Unexpectedly, Toshika still had a gentle face, nodded vigorously, and looked at Asano Nagamasa, "Asano-sama has the experience of guarding Ulsan, and also has a close relationship with Kato Kiyomasa-sama, please go with Jibu no matter what." Not only did he not dislike Ieyasu's words, but he took them for granted and even cheered for them.

Of course, these words of Lijia are not detrimental to Sancheng.What worries Sancheng the most is dealing with the returning general Kato Kiyomasa.Kiyomasa's dislike for Sancheng is comparable to Sancheng's dislike for Ieyasu, it is completely from the heart, and there is no room for negotiation.In Hakata, if someone dares to talk back to Sancheng, that person must be upright.But this Qingzheng has been as close as father and son to Asano Nagamasa, who married the sister of Beizhengsuo, since he was a boy. When sending troops to Korea for the second time, Nagamasa entrusted his son Yukinaga to Kiyomasa.Qingzheng also showed great love to Yukinaga.Back then Asano Yukunaga was besieged by the Ming army in Ulsan City. Although Kiyomasa was also defending the city and enduring indescribable hunger, he tried every means to mobilize a death-defying fleet from Xishengpu to rescue him, and finally delivered Yukunaga to the city. rescued... Sancheng understands this, and he naturally hopes that Changzheng can go with him, so Li's approval of this matter is also what a capable elder should do.Having said that, it is not easy to unify human emotions and rationality. "Forget it. That's it." Sancheng looked at the other Fengxing and said, "Three hundred military ships should be prepared first. I will rush to Hakata to start preparations." "The officers and soldiers must not suffer again." "My lord, don't worry, they are all experienced warriors." Sancheng smiled slightly at Li Jia, and suddenly changed his tone, "Since the matter has been settled, I will leave for a while. I still have something worth celebrating. I hope everyone will not be angry." "What else is Jibu worried about?" Ieyasu asked. Sancheng suddenly lowered his voice, and half-jokingly said: "I wonder what you think of the young master's birth mother, Mrs. Dian?" "Mrs. Dian?" Everyone was puzzled. "Yes. The young master's biological mother is only thirty-two this year. She is charming and beautiful, and her charm is still there. Wouldn't it be a pity to waste her youth? How about marrying Mrs. Dian to Da Nayan as his wife?" Sancheng changed the subject suddenly, and everyone didn't respond for a while come over. Everyone seems to have no idea what Sancheng means, and what big words they are talking about. Everyone is confused, as if in a fog.Wei Sancheng stared at Ieyasu with a solemn expression. "The Danagyan I'm talking about, of course, refers to the Kaga Danagyan present here." "What did you say?" Li Jia couldn't help being taken aback and asked hurriedly. Sancheng said: "Da Nayan was originally the assistant of the young master, and he welcomed the young master's biological mother into the inner room. In this way, he can raise the young master as a foster father...Of course, Sancheng is for the sake of Toyotomi." "Master Zhibu!" Li Jia's face darkened, "Today is the top seven of the Taige. How dare you bring up such a thing?" His face became more and more ugly.On this occasion, the more he talks, the more suspicious people will think that he has already discussed this matter with San Cheng.But Mrs. Maeda is still alive, why did Sancheng suddenly bring up such a strange topic? "I'm not asking for permission from adults. But since it's a marriage, you shouldn't talk about it behind your back. You should just tell everyone in advance. The young master's biological mother is still young, so I insist on letting her stay alone. Once there are bad rumors, I will tell Toyotomi." You are at a disadvantage." Thirty percent said half-truth, turned his gaze to Jiakang, and laughed, "The rumors among the women in the inner court must have been heard by the adults of the inner court?" "A rumor among the women in the inner court?" "It is rumored that the Lord of the Neifu really wants to get Mrs. Dian, of course it is all nonsense." "I?" "Exactly. Rumors also say that the master of the inner palace wants to accept the young master's biological mother and the world together." "This is a rumor!" Changzheng suddenly interjected, "How can such a thing happen? The women in the inner court don't even know about the death of Lord Taige, and they don't even know the news. How can they say such outrageous things?" "Haha! Please calm down, Lord Asano. Of course they don't know that Lord Taiko has passed away, but they think Taiko is still sick in bed. But during this period, such rumors have been rampant. What is the reason for this? I It seems that it is all because Mrs. Dian is young and beautiful. Although it is inappropriate to raise this matter on this occasion, I still took the liberty to raise it. Of course, this matter must have caused a lot of trouble for the inner court. Therefore, I think it is necessary Think deeply." After finishing speaking, Sancheng smiled again, staring at Lijia and Jiakang with eyes like swords.In fact, he didn't expect that he would say these words today. It was only because he saw that the docile Toshika had great trust in Ieyasu, so he had to separate the two of them before leaving, and wanted to turn Toshika into a strong enemy in front of Ieyasu. . What he said made everyone frown, even more surprised than Ieyasu himself.Although Sancheng was joking, it was outrageous to say that Jiakang wanted to take Mrs. Dian and Tianxia together. But Jiakang's face didn't change, as if he was listening to other people's affairs; he just smiled wryly and said, "Let's not talk about gossip for now, I want to talk about how to inform the generals in court about the Taige's death at the right time. This matter is very easy to leak , we must instruct the envoy well, in case the officers and soldiers hear about Taige’s passing—of course, no matter how they learned about it, we don’t have to deliberately conceal it. Of course, I am not in favor of publishing the news. The soldiers have long complained about the hard battle. What do you think of this? Only tell the truth to a few generals, otherwise, it is very likely to cause scuffles during the retreat, and even turn against the enemy, which will bring many disadvantages to the withdrawal." Although Ieyasu's tone was calm, everyone in the room fell silent, and even Maeda Genichi and Masuda Nagamori, who were once worried that the situation would be difficult to deal with, felt relieved.Changshu Zhengjia still stared at Sancheng, probably still worried that Sancheng would say something surprising again. "In short, I hope that all the officers and soldiers will be withdrawn during the winter. Otherwise, when the twelfth lunar month comes and the sea is stormy, it will be difficult to withdraw the troops. If possible, let all the soldiers stay at home for the New Year. Therefore, Lord Zhibu, please hurry up and gather ships. After everyone has set foot on their homeland, Shaosuke Jibu will officially announce to the world that the Taige has returned to heaven." Ieyasu glanced at Toshika, who was closing his eyes in pain with an unnatural expression, and said, "Dana Yan, Is it necessary to let the generals enter the capital first? Or let them withdraw to their territory first, and then call them to the capital when the funeral is held?" Li Jia opened his eyes as if he was rescued, "This matter depends on the specific situation. As far as I know, the people in various places are already impoverished, and there are endless riots and escapees. Therefore, it depends on the specific situation of their respective territories. Depends." "That's good. It seems that Lord Jibu will have to worry again. I want to hold the funeral after February. What do you guys think?" Ieyasu glanced around at the crowd. "I think the best time is at the end of February." Xuan Yidao, "Even if they are not allowed to enter Beijing, some generals may still enter Beijing, and some big names need time to rest due to years of fighting and piles of domestic affairs. .” "That's right. That's it." Ieyasu nodded cheerfully, turned his attention to Changshu Zhengjia, and said, "It's time for Mrs. Beizhengsuo to return to Osaka Castle. What do you think about this, Master Dazang? You can say , Mrs. Beizhengsuo is more powerful than ordinary men, I think it is best to follow her wishes. Can you go and ask her about her thoughts?" Asano glanced at Sancheng quickly.He is well aware of 30%'s temperament, as long as the Beizheng Institute is mentioned, this person will involuntarily become passionate. "Of order! I have received a lot of news from Osaka in the past few days since Madam Beizhengsuo left Osaka. Let me ask Madam what she means." Changshu Zhengjia replied respectfully and gave him a 30% glance. Today's 30% is exceptionally straightforward, and seems to have no objection to this matter.In fact, he didn't have any objections. In today's competition, he felt that he had won a complete victory: the withdrawal of troops was completely according to his wish, and Mrs. Dian's matter was brought up in a joking manner, and it also received unexpected results. As the saying goes, words are scary.After hearing Sancheng's joke just now, Ieyasu's tone suddenly became a lot heavier, which is enough to see the blow that this matter has brought to him.To be honest, Sancheng is not very fond of Mrs. Xidian either.She is smart, but a little insufficient; she is strong, but not tough enough; she always pretends to be from a famous family, and always does her own way.In Sancheng's view, Mrs. Dian is nothing more than a self-righteous woman who is useless to eat and a pity to discard.Because of this, once she joins forces with Jiakang, something big will happen.According to Jiayasu's current health, he can definitely have one or two more women.If he used the guise of guaranteeing the future of the Toyotomi family and Hideyori's future as a bait to hold Mrs. Yodo in his arms, 30% of the time he would lose his wife and lose his army. There are so many resourceful people in the world, but no one seems to realize it at the moment.But if someone suddenly thought of encouraging Mrs. Dian to do that, out of her love for the child, she would throw herself into Jiakang's arms without hesitation... That's why San Cheng preconceived it and blurted it out.He is very satisfied with what happened today, so he can leave the capital with peace of mind. If Hideyori, Mrs. Yodo, and Maeda Toshiie are not drawn into their camp, Sancheng's loyalty to the Toyotomi family will be wiped out.In order to tie up these three people, Mrs. Dian's enemy Beizhengsuo contacted Ieyasu, but it was a last resort.Perhaps this will instead create an excuse to control Mrs. Yodo more effectively. After that, the topic turned to the food and grass needed for the withdrawal of troops.Since the funeral was scheduled to be held at the end of February, before then, Sancheng only had to use all his strength to win over those who disliked him.In any case, they all followed Hideyoshi's generals since childhood.As long as they hold on to Hideyoshi's orphan, Hideyori, and don't forget to stab Ieyasu a few times, they will not betray Toyotomi. At the end of the discussion, Sanxiang changed his personality and hid all his sharpness. "The first seven days are over. I want to visit the young master after the body of the adult is burned, and then rush to Bodo immediately." In his opinion, Ieyasu has obediently fallen into the trap.When he arrived in Bodo, he wanted to meet with the withdrawing generals first, and give them a hint first, which would definitely benefit him immensely. Sancheng happily went to the inner court to visit Mrs. Dian.But for some reason, Mrs. Dian was a little unusual today, which made him very surprised.He had already warned Mrs. Dian not to show the grief of losing her husband, so as not to be noticed.Suddenly, another thought rose to Sancheng's mind, which made him turn pale with fright—this woman knew that Taiko's body would be reduced to ashes on Amitabha Peak. "This skinny guy, this ugly old man with a bad smell is finally going to disappear from the world." Perhaps it was this kind of thought that made her feel mixed. A person's life is the accumulation of sins, and it is also a comedy of changes.Hideyoshi, the son of a farmer born in Owari Nakamura, was braver and more brazen than anyone else during his lifetime. It was by relying on endless means and killing that he became a hero of all ages, and finally lived in the Golden Tower and Jade Pavilion, enjoying all the glory and wealth.But all of this was just a dream, and now his body was stripped naked, surrounded by piles of firewood, waiting to be burned.Whose punishment is this, and whose sin is it? Mrs. Dian's grandfather and father both died of seppuku.Stepfather Shibata Katsuie and biological mother Mrs. Aichi also committed suicide.Compared with their deaths, how much can Taige win?They at least told the enemy that they would rather die than submit, but Taige was always in tears and bowed his head to beg for mercy.Mrs. Dian wanted to vomit when she thought of his ugly appearance on the verge of death. Of course, Mrs. Yodo must have really liked Hideyoshi.When Hideyoshi tamed the world's daimyo with the momentum of swallowing mountains and rivers, all his sins were covered by the golden light, and even the slaughter sword he held in his hand looked so solemn and noble.It was incredible that she was restrained by such an old man so that she could not move.Now, the rope that restrained her was finally loosened, and it was rotting away a little bit. "Nothing can restrain you now." The other woman hidden in Mrs. Huan's heart kept whispering to her, making her cheer. As night fell, the maid brought the lampstand and illuminated the walls.On the partition door are Hideyoshi's favorite paintings, and on the caisson is a colorful picture of a hundred flowers blooming.If possible, it would be nice to have a banquet with the person you like here all night long... Just as Mrs. Yodo was blushing and dreaming, Ishida Mitsunari suddenly came to visit. "Master Zhibu, I have been waiting for you for a long time." Mrs. Dian hurriedly sat upright.To her own deep surprise, she seemed to be flattering unintentionally.She had lived as a widow for nearly a year.She is only thirty-two years old this year, and she still has a charming charm. The desire for carnality breaks through the shell of reason from time to time, and pokes her head out restlessly. Sancheng only felt dizzy for a while, and quickly turned his head to the side, saying: "Just now I went to greet my lord's sick bed, and my lord told me something, so I rushed over immediately." Sancheng vaguely felt from the expression of the Xingting Bureau that the news of Hideyoshi's death had been leaked, but he continued to say relaxedly, "I will rush to Hakata immediately according to Taiko's order." "Ordered to withdraw troops from North Korea?" "Yes. This is a heavy mission. Anyway, Kato, Fukushima, Kuroda, and Asano's son are all brave generals. Madam may also know that they have no reason to hold grudges against Sancheng. .” Sancheng said with a wry smile.When he found that Mrs. Dian was not listening carefully, he deliberately lowered his voice: "Actually, what worries me the most is that those people's disgust towards me may turn into a cloud over the young master's head..." "Disgusted?" "Yes. There is the wife of the Beizheng Office behind the generals." Sancheng pretended to be talking to himself, glanced at the Xiangting Bureau, and changed the subject again, "Is the young master at the wet nurse's place?" Mrs. Dian completely fell into Sancheng's trap, "Master Jibu's words are really worrying. You said just now that the generals' dislike for you may turn into dislike for the young master?" "Ah, this..." Sancheng replied vaguely on purpose, but his eyes wandered, "Once this happens, something big will happen. In order to let everyone not forget to be loyal to the young master, I plan to take the lead in swearing to the young master, but..." "Even if you do this, you can't make people feel at ease." "Madam, although this is just a folk rumor... If your lord dies, what are your plans, ma'am?" "Me? What exactly are you talking about that makes you so worried?" "Whether madam wants to take care of the young master all the time, or remarry, everyone is guessing." "Hmph!" Mrs. Dian twitched when she heard the word "remarry".The younger sister Taki has been married four times and is now a member of the Tokugawa family. "It's better to guard against people's mouth than to prevent Sichuan. Which family do they say they want to marry me to?" "They said that the wife will choose to marry the Lord of the Inner Palace. The Inner Palace is short of a wife." "Inner Palace?" "Yes. In this way, the lord of the inner palace will naturally become the stepfather of the young master, and the world and the peerless beauties will be acquired at the same time. The inner palace will definitely have some ideas." "I will become a woman in the inner palace?" Sancheng pretended not to hear, and said calmly: "If so, the wife of Beizheng Office must be very happy." Mrs. Dian concentrated and remained silent.She didn't really care about Sancheng's last sarcasm, and she was already immersed in fantasy at this time.The first thing that comes to mind is Ajiang Yu, the younger sister who is married to Xiuzhong. Ajiang and He Xiuzhong have given birth to their daughter Qianji.At Hideyoshi's insistence, Qianji and Hideyori got engaged.What would happen if she Chacha married Ieyasu as the main wife?This kind of imagination did not make her feel unhappy for the energetic Mrs. Yodo. If the two sisters of the Asai clan married into one family, some people might think that the two orphans of the Asai clan who were wiped out by Hideyoshi swallowed up the Toyotomi clan and the Tokugawa clan, and they only need to work together with A Jiang... However, Sancheng poured cold water on her, "Madam, the rumors are not only these, but also the following." "What next?" "Rumors say that Madam was born with integrity, how could she easily fall into such a conspiracy?" "conspiracy?" "Yes. Once the inner palace becomes the young master's stepfather, they can raise him by their side, and then... poison the young master without anyone noticing!" Sancheng stared closely at Mrs. Dian, "What the inner palace wants is not Madam. You are not the young master, you are just the world! Therefore, rumors say that the wife will never sell herself and her son to Tokugawa, and the wife will never agree to such a marriage." "what……" "People also say that if it is for the future of the Toyotomi family, it is best for the wife to marry Maeda Dai Nayan." "Maeda Dai Nayan?" "Yes. Danagyan is the first person in the world who can suppress Ieyasu's ambition... Moreover, according to Taiko's will, Danagyan is also the assistant of the young master, so it makes sense." The sky that had just cleared was clouded again.Mrs. Dian frowned and fell silent.In terms of character, Lijia is indeed good, honest and reliable.But in this way, they will not be able to live in the same family as A Jiangyu, and the dream of the two orphans of the Asai family to annex the world will come to naught... "I'm just talking casually. Maybe when I'm not around, someone will bring up these things. At that time, we must be more careful, and beware of people with ulterior motives secretly doing evil things... If someone really does something, it can't be someone else, it must be Mrs. Beizheng, because the one who fears you most, madam, is Beizheng." At this time, Mrs. Dian could no longer hear what Sancheng was saying.The entanglement with Hideyoshi is not over yet, and she is about to be bound by Hideyoshi miserably - her heart is filled with infinite emotion and sadness, and she just feels a boundless black curtain stretching out in front of her eyes... "My wife is born with intelligence and intelligence that is beyond the reach of all others. Even if the adult dies, you can still let the young master live up to the high expectations of the people. You don't have to worry about this at all. Sancheng once said so when chatting with other ministers. Even if you withdraw Among the generals, there are two or three people who are in contact with Beizheng, have plans, and will not betray the young master. Thirty percent will sincerely affirm the kindness of Lord Taige after welcoming the generals in Hakata..." At this moment, Sancheng no longer cared about Mrs. Dian's reaction.He only needs to break the beautiful dream of the woman in front of him, and wedge a piece of wood in her heart that will never let her feel at ease.This shadow has been deeply implanted in Mrs. Yodo's heart—Ieyasu and Beizhengsuo need to be most vigilant, while Maeda Toshiie is the only one who can fight against them.Even if Mrs. Yodo doesn't miss Taiko that much, but still loves Hideyori deeply, she will be very wary of Ieyasu.If you continue to babble, it will arouse her resentment.Mrs. Dian is not an ordinary woman, she is very competitive. "From now on, the weather will turn cold, Madam, please pay more attention to the young master's body." Sancheng bowed solemnly and stood up, feeling very comfortable.Hideyoshi said more than once before his death that in this world, there is only Jibu who can match his wisdom.Zhibu also knew that he had become the pillar of the Toyotomi clan, and now was the time when he was needed. Lord Taige, please rest assured that I have not failed my lord's wishes.San Cheng thought to himself. Mrs. Kedian didn't say a word.After Xiangting Bureau sent Sancheng away, she still sat there. "Madam." Madam Dian did not answer. "What are you thinking, madam?" Xiang Ting Bureau just finished asking, seemed to have remembered something, hurriedly sat upright, and said, "It's the hour of You, and it's time for the body to be cremated. Madam, please forgive me for my negligence." Saying that, Xing Tingju hurriedly stood up, took off the rosary on the bookshelf and hung it on Mrs. Dian's wrist, she put her hands together and closed her eyes.It was completely dark outside at this time.There was a chilling silence all around, and suddenly, from nowhere came the sound of flames beating, as if something was being burned, and it lasted for a long time. "Ma'am, life is really fickle. Even people like Taige will turn into dust after they die." "You call the young master and ask the Dazang Bureau to come along." "Yes... yes. The maidservant will call immediately." Xiang Ting thought that Mrs. Dian couldn't hold back her loneliness, so she hurriedly got up and left. "Jibu, you bastard!" Mrs. Dian bit her lips in disdain. Soon, the Dazang Bureau led Hideyori in.The Xianting Bureau also followed in.She didn't dare to look at Mrs. Dian, she was afraid that Mrs. Dian would throw her arms into her arms and cry desperately when she saw Xiu Lai.Unexpectedly, Mrs. Dian neither embraced Xiu Lai in her arms, nor cried bitterly.Holding the unfinished wooden boat in her hand, Xiu Lai gave her mother a silly smile and sat down.Mrs. Dian just stared at him coldly. Seeing this scene, Xiang Ting Ju couldn't help swallowing a mouthful of saliva.Madame really deserves to be of Asai blood!Asai Nagamasa and his father Hisamasa are not the ones who bow their heads easily, and Madam Yodo is also bleeding like this... Xiangting Bureau was thinking about it, when suddenly Madam Dian said bitterly: "Zhibu is really arrogant!" Her voice was so ear-piercing that the Dazang Bureau and the Xiangting Bureau couldn't help being taken aback, and hurriedly asked: "Madam, you... what did you just say?" "Xianting, what do you think of Jibu?" "This... Only Lord Zhibu has not forgotten the kindness of Lord Taige, and he will be loyal to assist the young master in the future." "Da Zang, what about you?" The Dazang Bureau lowered its head and began to think seriously. "Don't you think Zhibu is a bit rude? Don't you think Zhibu is a good retainer?" Mrs. Dian asked again before the Dazang Bureau could reply. "This..." The Dazang Bureau obviously hasn't figured it out yet, "After Guan Baixiu had an accident last time, he enthusiastically advised the young master's future..." "Hmph! You don't know Zhibu's true nature. Zhibu is an arrogant fool." "This...how did Madam say that?" "Xianting, you heard it too. He dared to give orders to me and the young master arrogantly and rudely. He deceived me that I was just a girl." After finishing speaking, Mrs. Dian stroked Hideyori, the cold expression disappeared immediately, and she burst into tears. Like the rain, "He deceived me that I was just a weak woman, and said that the Neifu and the Beizheng Office were my enemies, trying to deceive me." But the two people around looked at each other, but no one nodded in agreement.In fact, they also had an aversion to both Ieyasu and the Beizheng Institute, and they agreed with 30% of the statement. "If the Zhibu is really capable and talented, he should never say this to me. If there is a quarrel with the inner government and the Beizheng Office, the young master will never be safe." Mrs. Dian gritted her teeth and said disdainfully, "Never forget the battle of Xiaomu Nagakushou Finally, the adults' good intentions, how he reconciled with the inner government...the inner government that the adults are afraid of, but the government wants me to treat him as an enemy... If this is the case, what will happen when the young master grows up? The ending? Jibu is really ambitious!"
