Chapter 21 Chapter 21 Women's Strategies

When venting her dissatisfaction with the two women, Mrs. Dian's emotions gradually became high.Perhaps, she used this to vent her long-suppressed dissatisfaction.Before that, she had never hated or neglected Ishida Mitsunari, and always regarded Mitsunari as an important minister who was thinking about the future of Toyotomi, Hideyoshi's most important confidant and strong support.But today, she was full of curses. "In front of adults, Jibu is just a cat with its paws hidden. It looks loyal, but it's actually a villain." Although she also felt that her words were a bit too much, according to her mood today, if she doesn't let San Cheng Bi Lu, she has trouble sleeping and eating.

"He actually mentioned remarriage to me? What day does he regard today as? Zhibu regards me as a puppet at his mercy. If this is the case with me, what will happen to the young master in the future?" Listening and listening, Xiangting Bureau and Dazang Bureau gradually understood Mrs. Dian's thoughts. "He's really crazy." "Slaves think so too." "Hmph! Even you guys will be angry, right?" "Yes. The servant is furious." "I have been suppressing my anger and listening to him, saying that I am better than a man, that I am inferior in intelligence and intelligence, and I can't stop flattering, but he is ordering me-he treats me as a fool." Mrs. Dian regarded Shi Jiakang and The Beizheng Institute was an enemy, and the possible dire consequences were told to the two of them over and over again.As a result, this matter naturally attracted the attention of the two of them.Compared with Xiangting Bureau, the older Dazang Bureau thought more.Back then, in order to reconcile with Ieyasu, Hideyoshi took great pains to suppress himself!Needless to say, Mrs. Yodo, she is well aware of the situation: Hideyoshi deliberately separated Asahihime, who was over 40 years old, from her husband and married Ieyasu; gritted her teeth and sent her mother to Okazaki as a hostage... It was because of such forbearance that Hideyoshi was able to win the championship world.These practices are not because of Ieyasu's character and strength, but why?

Not only is he hostile to Ieyasu alone, 30% even turns the Beizheng Office into an enemy... If he dares to take this risk, the world will really be in chaos. "Things that even adults dare not do, Zhibu has to do. Could it be that his talent can surpass adults... Isn't this arrogant, what is it?" Hearing Mrs. Dian's words, the Dazang Bureau finally couldn't bear it anymore, moved forward, and said, "Madam, does the Zhibu have other ambitions?" "Ambition?" "Yes. Playing with the wife and the young master in the palm of your hand, the servants think that he has the ambition to replace the inner palace."

Xian Ting Ju's face turned pale.But Mrs. Dian still didn't care, bowed her head in thought. People sometimes say things that don't mean anything.Although Mrs. Dian was annoyed, she didn't think about Sancheng's ambition.The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the heart. The Dazang Bureau has far more experience than Mrs. Dian, and understands the world and human conditions.She thought Mrs. Dian had seen through 30% of her ambitions, and that's why she was so angry. "Ma'am, does it mean that the young master is still young and ignorant? Zhibu will use this to try his best to form gangs, want to start a big war with Tokugawa, and dominate the world by himself... Is he planning such a huge conspiracy? "

Hearing what the Dazang Bureau said, Mrs. Dian couldn't help being taken aback, and hurriedly glanced at the Xiangting Bureau.Xiang Tingju's whole body was stiff, and he was listening to the conversation between the two in a daze. "Hmph!" Mrs. Dian pursed her chapped lips and said, "If he has such ambitions, what will you do?" "The slave thinks that this is an over-concern." The Bureau of Xiangting interjected, "Zhibu is too considerate of the young master, so that he is so anxious that he speaks with an orderly tone. Of course, this kind of rudeness should be condemned, but being suspicious not worth."

Mrs. Dian nodded vigorously, "I think so too, but we can't be careless." "Madam's words are very true." As expected of an elderly person, the Dazang Bureau bowed his head cautiously, "In my opinion, Madam is not as good as this: don't believe the words of the Ministry of Justice. Madam is still on the surface as usual. The Beizheng Office pretended nothing happened in front of them, but inwardly they took precautions against them. What does Madam think?" "What do you want me to do? Is it true that I can't even say something like 'marry the inner court'?"

The Dazang Bureau couldn't help being startled, and took a look at Mrs. Dian.She found that Mrs. Dian's last words were a little joking—maybe Mrs. Dian really had such thoughts. But this is just the conjecture of the Dazang Bureau. It would be disrespectful to ask Mrs. Dian for verification.After all, the wife is also Toyotomi Hideyori's biological mother. "For this matter, I have an idea." The Dazang Bureau pretended to hear Mrs. Dian's joking tone, and deliberately sat down, "If something happens, the world will be in chaos. Just now, the young master Changshu who guarded Osaka The assistant has already arrived, why not call Mr. Chang Shu over, and calmly inquire about the reality of the Inner Palace and the Beizheng Office. What do you think, madam?"

"It's a good idea." Mrs. Dian leaned forward, "This matter must not be manipulated by others, it is related to the future of the young master... It is the best way to do this. You will convey this idea to Lord Changshu early tomorrow morning." The topic finally shifted away from Sancheng, and Mrs. Dian heaved a long sigh of relief. That night, Mrs. Dian tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. At first, she thought it was because the scent of the incense pillow was too strong, so she asked people to change the pillow and thin the wick, but it still didn't work.The waves caused by Sancheng's words have turned into endless delusion, into anger and helplessness.If Ieyasu really proposed to marry her, how should she answer?

Sancheng had already severely warned Mrs. Dian that what Ieyasu wanted was not her, but the world.Therefore, in the future, Ieyasu will either secretly poison Xiu Lai, or send someone to assassinate Xiu Lai.What an insult to a woman!He didn't know that women also had wisdom and talent.At the beginning, a man intentionally approaches a woman, and later becomes a woman's slave... How could Chacha be a woman easily captured by Ieyasu?Thinking about it, such a scene appeared in front of Mrs. Dian's eyes - that Ieyasu, who was used to putting on a show, was naked and fat, kneeling in front of her, being ruthlessly mocked and tortured.She was startled by this delusion, but also angry because of 30%.But compared to these, what has been clearly imprinted in her heart and made her miserable is the sentence from the Dazang Bureau: "Perhaps, Sancheng has great ambitions."

returning a Favour many times more.Mrs. Dian did not grow up in the world of knowing kindness and repaying.Sancheng's words left the poisonous seed of distrust in her heart forever, tormenting her continuously... Thinking of this, she was filled with fear again.It was almost dawn when Mrs. Dian fell asleep. In her dream, she heard the sound of rain that made her feel helpless. On the morning of the second day, Chang Shuzheng's family came down to see Mrs. Dian under the guidance of the Dazang Bureau, and it was already past time. As soon as he entered the door, the Zheng family saw Mrs. Dian, who was carefully dressed, unexpectedly lowered his eyes, and said: "Even if my wife doesn't ask me to come down, I am planning to come and visit." It was clearly written on his face that he Hesitating about whether to speak out.

"You came just in time. Sit down quickly, I have something to discuss with you." Then, Mrs. Dian said to the Dazang Bureau: "You stay, and everyone else retreats." Compared with Sancheng who always straightened his back, Changshu Zhengjia always bent over, looking respectful. "Everyone has stepped back. My lord, please move forward." "yes." "Actually, it's not for other reasons. I have two things I would like to ask my lord to do. One is to ask my lord to go to the Beizheng office to make peace, and the second is to ask my lord to go to the inner palace." In fact, these two things, the three women It was discussed the night before. Changshu Zhengjia was a little surprised, and looked at Mrs. Dian again.It is really rare for her to say something like "Shuohe".He always thought that on the surface Mrs. Dian regarded the Beizheng Institute as her main wife, but inwardly, relying on her family background, she never took Beizheng Institute seriously.Zhengjia hesitated and said, "Madam means..." "The wife of the Beizheng Office will return to Osaka soon. Of course, you can go again after she returns to Osaka. Just say that I want to ask my wife for advice." "Teach me?" "Actually, it's not worth making a fuss about. Now that the Taige has passed away, we women should get along in harmony. It's common sense to discuss everything more and follow Beizheng's orders." Zhengjia felt incomprehensible, lowered his head and wondered, then hurriedly straightened his body, "This... is indeed true... What does Madam want to discuss?" "The matter of the young master. Since the adult has passed away, although the young master is still young, he is the master of Toyotomi, right?" "What the lady said is very true." "However, you also know that this Fushimi Castle is just a temporary residence. Soon after, everyone will discuss returning to Osaka." "Yes. But at present... even the funeral is still kept secret." "I know this, so I asked the adults to help mediate before the relocation. If the Beizheng Office thinks that the young master is still young and lives in Fushimi first, that's all. If the wife wants the young master to move back to Osaka, then I also want to move there together. Children are young and ignorant after all.” Zhengjia nodded vigorously, "So that's the case. Beizheng will definitely agree to this matter. Madam, please don't worry." As he spoke, he felt a heat in his chest.Although Mrs. Dian was very strong on the surface, she was still a woman after all. After Taige passed away, this woman also became weak.If so, she and the Beizheng Institute might get along unexpectedly harmoniously. "Ma'am, when it comes to the inner palace..." "Exactly. What do you think of the inner palace?" "What do you mean madam?" "The world says that the master of the inner palace is the enemy of the young master and must not be taken lightly. I am very worried." Changshu Zhengjia bent down and opened his eyes wide.In his opinion, Mrs. Dian is the culprit for spreading such rumors.Mrs. Dian said again: "I don't need to say more about the behavior of the Inner Palace. Even Mr. Taige looks at the Inner Palace differently, and even entrusts him with the funeral. So you must not treat the Inner Palace as a The enemy sees it." "That's what I said... I think so too." Sancheng was blatantly hostile to Ieyasu, and Masakaya was already extremely disturbed. "Adults also think the same as me?" "Yes. The most important thing at the moment is harmony, and peace is the most important thing. No matter who is regarded as an enemy, it is extremely stupid." "Since your lord said so, I have a solid foundation in my heart. In fact, I want to give a small gift to the inner government. I hope the inner government really likes it... What should I give?" Changshu Zhengjia took another look at Mrs. Dian, he was deeply surprised.According to Sancheng, Mrs. Dian is a shrew who does her own way and is difficult to deal with, but she takes the initiative to show her kindness to the Beizheng Office and Ieyasu, and strives to get along with each other in harmony.Could it be because after Taige's death, she felt alone and helpless?Zhengjia had no choice but to say: "I heard that the Neifu is not very interested in tea sets like the adults, so what's the point? It's hard to give it away once, and it's best to meet the needs of the Neifu." "Master Changshu and the Neifu have always been close, and I know that the Neifu likes it." The Dazang Bureau interjected from the side. The Zheng family was gradually moved by Mrs. Dian.It seems that this is by no means a capricious woman's whim, but for the future of her son, all her thoughts and actions are inseparable from this.He then said solemnly, "Madam, please forgive me." "What did your lord say?" "The Zheng family was secretly worried just now, if the wife is hostile to the inner government, it will be extremely detrimental to the Toyotomi clan." "That's why I want to give the Neifu a gift that he likes." "Madam, why don't you just give him a big gift?" "Big gift?" "Yes. Lord Tokugawa doesn't value tea sets, swords, etc. Therefore, this gift should be grateful for a lifetime, and the giver will not lose anything." "Is there such a good gift?" "Yes!" Zhengjia's face flushed slightly, "The thing I like most in the Inner Mansion...is a house where you can sleep peacefully." "A gift of a house?" "Yes. Ma'am, do you know? Now Tokugawa Mansion is located in the lowlands to the east, Ishida Mansion is across a road to the west, and the mansions of Guanbu Yuzen and Fukuhara Nagataka are to the north and south. No matter which side you can overlook the Tokugawa Mansion I heard that everyone in the Tokugawa House hates Jibu Shaosuke who planned this matter. Because if the three prefectures fire at the Tokugawa House at the same time, the Tokugawa House will be wiped out in an instant..." "Is this... serious?" "Yes. Therefore, the land of Xiangdao can be given to the Inner Palace... According to the last words of Lord Taige, it is very important for the Inner Palace to take charge of government affairs. We will never allow criminals to harm the lives of the Inner Palace. Therefore, it is best for the Inner Palace to The lord of the government is building a mansion in Xiangdao. If this is the case, the inner government will be grateful." Mrs. Dian looked back at the Dazang Bureau and sighed.This matter seemed to be beyond their expectations. "Your Excellency, what you mean is that Madam won't lose anything by doing this, right?" the Dazang Bureau asked in great confusion. "Yes. In this way, there is no need to worry that the inner mansion will move to the city. Otherwise, he will move to live in the city sooner or later... Therefore, it is better to build a house in Xiangdao." Changshu Zhengjia finished speaking heavily and straightened his body. After understanding what Zhengjia meant, Mrs. Dian tightened her face, "You mean, if you don't donate the house, the inner government will move to this city sooner or later, right?" "Yes. The inner government has to take charge of all government affairs on behalf of the government, so there will naturally be more big names coming in and out. If it continues to be under the supervision of others, what's the proper way? And..." the Zheng family lowered his voice, "Anyway, the young master will be with the assistant government sooner or later. In this way, Fushimi Castle will be empty... If the Inner Government, which is in charge of government affairs, makes a request, who can refuse?" Mrs. Dian nodded, "Have you told Lord Zhibu about this?" "No." "Why didn't you mention it to me before?" The Zheng family smiled wryly and said: "Although madam is the birth mother of the young master, the government's dislike for the inner government is a bit too much. Once I tell this matter, he will definitely cause him to misunderstand, saying that I have cheated on the inner government. Therefore, madam can Look for opportunities by yourself, either Da Na Yan, or..." "I see. I'll have to find a chance to let Danagyan speak for himself...it's a good thing. Let's do it." "Good thing? Madame means..." the Dazang Bureau interjected uneasily. Mrs. Kedian didn't look at her at all, and said: "Master Changshu, you go to the Inner Mansion immediately, and say that this is Lord Taige's last words, and grant Xiangdao to the Inner Mansion. I forgot about this before, and now I just remembered." "Madam agreed?" "I agree. We don't know when we will return to Osaka. This is the key." After speaking, Mrs. Dian looked at the Dazang Bureau and said, "This is really a luxurious gift, isn't it, Dazang?" "Yes Yes." "Don't feel uneasy. These are the last words left to me alone by the adults. If something happens to the inner government that acts as the agent of government affairs, it will be a disaster for the world." "What the lady said is very true." "Hehe... In this way, the Inner Palace will understand my intentions." Mrs. Dian looked proudly at the sky, intoxicated in her fantasy, "The construction of the mansion depends entirely on the Inner Palace's own wishes, but must Island. Do you understand, Masaka?" "clear." "It's best to start work after Jibu rushes to Hakata. Otherwise, he may use some tricks." "Understood." Changshu Zhengjia was also relieved. After Zhengjia withdrew, Mrs. Dian was still very excited, muttering non-stop: "It seems that Zhengjia is also a wise man who should not be underestimated. Sure enough, there is a way. In this way, Fushimi Castle will not be taken away by others, but also let people I am closer to the Inner Palace. Are you right, Dazang?" "Yes Yes." "There is something to watch out for." "What's up?" "The Zheng family is wary of the Ministry of governance. We must not ignore this point." "Madame means..." "He already had an idea in his heart, but he was afraid of causing misunderstanding by Zhibu, so he never dared to say it... They both adhere to it. If they are afraid of each other, it will be disadvantageous. I think all these are because Zhibu loves to be competitive. You Don't you think so?" The Dazang Bureau did not immediately respond.She also knows that Jibu likes to show off and likes to point fingers, but she doesn't dare to rashly judge this as a flaw.What's more, when she said that 30% was ambitious, it brought confusion to Mrs. Dian. "Da Zang, what's the matter with you? It seems that you have doubts about loyalty?" "Ma'am, will it be a waste of time to do this?" "You mean about Mukoshima?" "yes." "Why is it a waste of effort, you just say." "If after the young master moves away, the inner palace still has the intention to enter the city..." "Oh?" "Even if Xiangdao has given him a mansion, I'm afraid the inner government will find various reasons to enter the city." "You mean he's going to town anyway, don't you?" "If that's the case, granting the house while Lord Zhibu is away, I'm afraid it will only create an even more discordant atmosphere..." Fang said after thinking twice. "Stop talking!" Mrs. Dian raised her eyebrows, "Da Zang, you are a woman after all." "yes." "If you are vacillating like you, what kind of decision can you make? You can only achieve nothing." "yes……" "As soon as you talk about the government department, you falsely claim that he has the ambition to replace the Taige. When you mention the inner government, you deceive me again, saying that he has the intention of entering Fushimi Castle from the very beginning. According to you, the whole world Have you become the enemy of me and the young master?" Mrs. Dian's questioning made the Dazang Bureau speechless.Yes, everyone in the world is an enemy, please be careful—although she was full of uneasiness in her heart, she didn't dare to say it rashly. "Call Xiangting here too..." Mrs. Dian laughed loudly, "Hehe, even if the Xiangting Bureau agrees with you, I can't change my mind. I have already stated that this is Taige's last words, and if I want to go back on my word That's too late." The Dazang Bureau suddenly turned pale.Mrs. Dian is right, if you want to give advice, you have to hurry up before Zhengjia quits, otherwise it will be meaningless.Mrs. Dian, who has always been competitive, took Zhengjia's idea as an excellent idea, and even called it "Taige's last words".If she complains uselessly afterwards, it will only show that she is stupid, and maybe it will shake Mrs. Dian's hard-won decision. "Ma'am, it seems that Da Zang has been worrying too much, I am very sorry." "Let me tell you how you feel." Mrs. Dian stared at the sky with her clear eyes, narrowing her eyes more and more narrowly, as if she was outlining a sweet dream, "Da Zang, please call Xiangting. Today is finally easy. My lord has turned into a ash." "Yes, the things in this world are really like dreams and illusions." "From now on, everything depends on us." "Madam is really neat and tidy in doing things. This servant must study hard." After speaking, the Dazang Bureau stood up, "My servant will go and call the Xiangting Bureau here." "Wait a minute, Dazang." "Yes. Madam, what else can I order?" "The haze of many days has been swept away, and you and I can start our lives again. You ask Xiang Ting to secretly bring some wine." "liquor?" "Yes. The wine to celebrate our rebirth... Isn't it a good thing that the troubles of the government, the inner government, and the Beizheng Office have all been resolved?" The Dazang Bureau wanted to say something more, but hesitated for a while, and went out anyway.Madam is already the master of this city, no one can stop her even if she goes too far, there is no need to spoil her good mood... Mrs. Dian squinted at the sky.If you look at it negatively: everything is disturbing, but no matter who it is, it will eventually turn into smoke and disappear without a trace... Thinking of this, she felt incredible.Careful, scarred, is a lifetime; don't look at anyone's face, do whatever you want, romantic and happy, is also a lifetime... Mrs. Yodo believes that her intelligence and courage are by no means inferior to the Beizheng Office and the Imperial Palace. There is only one person who restrains her wings, and that is Toyotomi Hideyoshi, but this person is no longer around.As the biological mother of Taige's heir, why should she be afraid? Even if Tokugawa Ieyasu really wanted the city, wouldn't it be nice to give it to him without hesitation?In the glass shower room that Hideyoshi is proud of, strip off the clothes of the chunky inner man, and wash off the smell of sweat for him... Mrs. Dian, who was dreaming, felt her cheeks were hot, and she hurriedly looked around. It's just an illusion.
