Chapter 34 Chapter 34 Destiny's Child

Just when the Korean War greatly changed the fate of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the fate of Mrs. Yodo also changed unexpectedly. Because of Tsurumatsu Maru's premature death, Chacha became an ordinary concubine in Nagoya's camp.Mrs. Matsumaru, who went to Nagoya with her, was able to get closer to Hideyoshi, so she was even more favored and tried her best to expand her power.Both of them are concubines without children, and Mrs. Matsumaru is above Chacha in terms of appearance and talent. Of course, now Chacha no longer has that strong fighting spirit and jealousy.The trauma of Tsurumatsumaru's death in her heart was much greater than these.Why did Tsurumatsu Maru come into this world?As the birth mother of He Songwan, she once had a dream of being able to inherit Guan Bai's family in the future, but she was soon disappointed with He Songwan's death.

After Tsurumongmaru's death, Chacha was haunted by loneliness. She is constantly doing things now, which is also related to this.Chacha originally believed that people would leave nothing behind after death, so she followed the example of Nobunaga and almost never paid homage to her deceased relatives.But now, due to the shock of losing her child, she was so confused that she even started to believe in ghosts. It seems that Hideyoshi still can't forget Tsurumatsu Maru, and there are some suspicious rumors in her boudoir.Hideyoshi suspects that Tsurumatsumaru is not his own son, but the son of Chacha who had an affair with someone. Only the gods and Buddhas know this.The gods and Buddhas took pity on Hideyoshi, who believed that this was his own son, and took the child to the underworld. In other words, the gods and Buddhas were punishing Chacha.Hideyoshi said this to Chacha not in a joking tone, nor in a serious tone. Chacha did not argue, but painstakingly calculated the age of her dead son.

However, this time was different.Hideyoshi set off for Nagoya on the first day of October, that is to say, before he left, Chacha was pregnant with a child.After Chacha accompanied Hideyoshi back to Osaka, she immediately moved back to Diancheng. Hideyoshi came to Diancheng because... She couldn't help but tremble when she thought of this. The inner court of Yodo Castle is not like the inner court of Osaka Castle, where men come and go are closely monitored.If Hideyoshi is suspicious, and the child is born after the tenth day of the eighth lunar month, Hideyoshi will really doubt the child's blood.

Chacha hurriedly told the Beizheng Office in Osaka about her pregnancy, expressing that she wanted to move to Osaka City to have a baby.She also put a small statue of Avalokitesvara on the case and kept praying to Avalokitesvara. According to Chacha's disposition, she should be more interested in the Korean war situation than the children's affairs.But since she found out she was pregnant, she hadn't cared much about the war.For her, the birth of a child is far more important than the victory or defeat of a war. After a series of changes, Chacha's temperament has changed a lot.At first she was self-righteous and self-willed, but since Tsurumatsumaru's death, she has become an ordinary woman.However, after knowing that she was pregnant, she relied on Taiko's prestige to put on a more dignified posture than when she was not married or when Tsurumatsumaru was alive.

There was no reply from the Beizheng Office for a while, so Chacha sent the Great Tibet Bureau there to negotiate in a stern tone: "Because you are the main wife, Mrs. Dian came to ask you for instructions first, and did not report directly to your lord. Please inform your lord as soon as possible about the re-pregnancy of the biological mother, and move Mrs. Yodo to Osaka City to wait for delivery." If the Beizheng Office is hesitant, it means that Chacha will send an envoy to Hideyoshi himself.But she blamed the Dazang Bureau: "Lord Taige is very busy with the war. I have notified him, and now I can only wait."

When Chacha got this answer, she felt uneasy all day long. There is not only Chacha in the side room.The other side rooms are all on the side of the Beizheng Office. "This child was conceived when the adults were away." Once this rumor is spread, it is not so easy to dispel it.Will the child be born after ten months of pregnancy?There are also cases where it is later than the scheduled date, and if so, rumors can ruin the child's future.Moreover, the heir of the Toyotomi family has been decided, but if another boy is born, Hideji's status will be in jeopardy. Although Chacha's words and deeds gradually became arrogant, she did not forget the etiquette due to the concubine and Guan Bai's family.

In May, Hideyoshi sent Tokugawa Ieyasu and Maeda Toshiie to receive Ming envoys Xie Yongzi and Xu Yiguan who came to Nagoya. He was racking his brains on how to make peace without hurting his face. On May 30, the Beizheng Office notified that Hideyoshi had received a letter and asked the Dazang Bureau to go to Juledi.Chacha immediately sent her there. The Beizheng Office welcomed the Dazang Bureau into the room, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Dian is in good health?" Ning Ning may have also heard a lot of rumors, and the Dazang Bureau also understood these, so he interpreted the smile as a mockery, and said, "Very well, everything is going well, but..."

"But what?" "Because Master Taige is not here, the child in her womb is very pitiful. If the Lord is here, he will definitely celebrate for the child." "Dazang Bureau, it's better for you to say less about this." "My servant was surprised that Madam would say that. Master Taige wanted his own blood so much, and now this child is coming soon..." "Shut up! Even if Mrs. Dian is dissatisfied, it's not your turn to speak up! My lord is away now!" "However, the reply is too slow..." "My lord is tired from the army, try not to bother him."

"That's why I asked my wife to agree to let Mrs. Dian come to Daban City to wait for delivery." "You have to know that women's inner courts are already more troublesome." "Ma'am, what do you mean..." "Even if you get anxious, the rumors will become more serious. Why don't you believe me? Wait for the news quietly." Saying this, Ning Ning smiled. But the Dazang Bureau saw the smile, and suddenly changed its face, "So... so, Madam also believes those nonsense?" "What nonsense?" "I can't say that."

"Tell me." To be honest, Ning Ning didn't hear any rumors. What she heard was just speculation about the date of Chacha's pregnancy.However, since the Dazang Bureau has uttered "nonsense", it cannot be ignored. The Dazang Bureau bit his lip and kept looking at Ning Ning, full of hatred and embarrassment, "Madam really wants to know, so I will tell you. Inuzixiu has seen Mrs. Dian several times. Although he is my own son, if others want to say so, I have no way." "What the hell is going on?" "Ma'am, let me just say it straight. If Mrs. Dian's child is a boy, then she is cursing Taiko... The rumors say so, but Inuzi is not such a person."

Ning Ning was very surprised: "Is there such a rumor in Diancheng?" Dazang Bureau's son Ohno Xiuliang, Ning Ning has seen him once or twice, and doesn't like him very much.This man dressed up like a servant boy, and the maids liked him very much.If there is such a rumor, why doesn't the Dazang Bureau dispel it with a calmer attitude?It wasn't just Ning Ning who was surprised, but the Lord Xiao Zang who was on the side also looked at the two with bated breath. An embarrassing silence lasted for a while.The Dazang Bureau believes that Ning Ning knew the rumor and teased her on purpose. "There are such rumors?" Ning Ning felt a rush of blood rushing upwards.Originally, she didn't like Chacha's temperament.Chacha likes to play smart, willful and selfish, which is completely disgusting to her.And this can influence Hideyoshi, which is even more unbearable for her.What would happen if rumors got into Hideyoshi's ears?Hideyoshi is very decisive on the battlefield of male confrontation, but once suspicious, he is very stubborn.Perhaps this biography alone will change the color of Hideyoshi's later life and the fate of this son. "Ma'am, do you also doubt my mother and son?" "What did you say? Hmph!" Ning Ning reprimanded severely, closing her eyes.Sometimes, the little things that are not Tao are more destructive than the earth-shattering events.At this time, what should she do?If you laugh at Hideyoshi from a woman's point of view, you will feel very pitiful.Ning Ning couldn't help getting angry.However, Chacha is pregnant and Hideyoshi's son is about to be born, which is an unchangeable fact. Perhaps Chacha was also worried about these rumors, which made her impetuous.Thinking of this, Ning Ning gradually regained her composure.She doesn't like to be compared with Chacha and Dazang Bureau.She had always made up her mind before: to treat Hideyoshi like a mother in the name of the main wife. "Lord Xiaozang, bring your lord's letter, I want her to read it." Ning Ning said calmly, showing a soft smile again. Master Xiaozang quietly took the letter.The Dazang Bureau has been watching Ning Ning hostilely.If you don't show her the letter today, and just convey the general idea of ​​the letter, the Dazang Bureau will definitely not believe it. "Actually, it's not good for you to read this." When Ning Ning handed over the letter, the Dazang Bureau froze all over and only responded. "But if the rumors you mentioned are spreading, I have to show you. Let's talk about it later. You read this first..." "Follow the order." The Dazang Bureau respectfully took the letter and began to read it.It was indeed Hideyoshi's handwriting.His hard-to-understand letter mixed with Chinese characters and pseudonyms has been read several times by the Dazang Bureau, and it was all written by Hideyoshi to Chacha.As she read, her shoulders began to shake.There was not a single word expressing his happiness for Chacha's pregnancy, nor his feelings for the child to be born. It only wrote: "I heard that Mrs. Dian is pregnant again, but that is not Hideyoshi's child. Hideyoshi has no children, and in the final analysis it is just Chacha alone." Children, let's deal with this matter with this kind of thinking." Not only that, but the next paragraph shocked the Dazang Bureau even more: "Also: This child's name is Shi, okay. But when you call him, you must not call him respectfully, you can only call him 'Shi'. I will be triumphant soon I wish you happiness. To Ningning." After Ning Ning waited for the Dazang Bureau to finish reading, he said, "You will never understand the meaning of these words." The Dazang Bureau kept biting its lip, respectfully returned the letter to Ningning, and nodded. "There are many words between couples that only couples can understand." "Then...then, what does this letter mean that Mrs. Yodo can no longer give birth in Osaka?" "Who said it can't? This letter said that it can't be produced in Osaka?" "However, according to the letter, this is Mrs. Dian's child..." "It's said in the letter, but can a woman give birth to a child alone?" Ning Ning laughed again, but the Dazang Bureau's emotions became more intense: "Then... Madame and Lord Taige both think that this child is a repairman?" "Huh? What did you say? How could you say such a thing? You can't see that the words and lines are filled with the excitement of Master Taige. He is so happy that he doesn't know what to do!" People's ability to understand each has its own limit, and the Dazang Bureau couldn't understand Ning Ning's words, "Ma'am, you mean... Your Excellency is very pleased?" "Yes, my lord's heart, I can only read it. This letter shows that he is very happy, but he is embarrassed to say that he is suppressing it." "However, it says that it is Mrs. Dian's child alone." "This is what you don't understand, but I know it quite well. It is because of this that it is said that no matter whether a child is a boy or a girl, he must be called 'Shi'." "You can't add an honorific title..." "You tell Mrs. Dian this will. It's called 'pick up', which means picking up children abandoned by others." "Abandoned child?" "That's right! He Song was called 'She' at first. Master Taige thought that the abandoned child could be raised, but he died young. Therefore, this time, he meant to pick up the abandoned child and bring it up. You should say to Mrs. Dian, Once born, temporarily discard the child..." The Dazang Bureau lied and hurriedly interrupted the Beizheng Office: "So...Ms. Dian discarded it after giving birth...and then picked it up in Osaka. Is this what Ma'am means?" "You're absolutely right." Beizheng Office laughed.The Dazang Bureau felt even more embarrassed, and perhaps she herself was also suspecting that if the child was repaired, Madam's words were mixed. "Dazang Bureau, I showed you this letter just now. Until your lord returns in triumph, I will manage everything on your behalf. Do you understand?" "Yes Yes." "Please pick a good day, Mrs. Yodo, and move to the West Garden of Osaka City earlier." "Want to move here?" "Yes, at the same time, don't let outside men approach her, and wait for the delivery quietly...Pray for a safe delivery, and it can be held in Ise's Daijingu Shrine. I have clearly ordered a local man named Iio Hiko Rokuzaemon , carefully checked all the supplies prepared in the delivery room, and arranged for someone to accompany Mrs. Dian to the shrine." "Pray at the Great Shrine..." "Yes, because this is Lord Taige's child." "But, do you have to throw it away once you're born?" "Yes! After giving birth, temporarily throw it out of the city, and then ask Matsuura Sanuki to pick it up immediately. These things have been arranged, and we should move to Xiyuan in Osaka as soon as possible. Understand?" "Yes." The Dazang Bureau replied, but still looked puzzled. Ning Ning intends to control her feelings and cooperate with Hideyoshi as the main wife.Hideyoshi will definitely be satisfied, and thank her from the bottom of my heart. "Call him 'Shi'", in this sentence, all Hideyoshi's thoughts are contained.Ningning is the only one who can accurately understand his mind.It seems very reluctant for the Dazang Bureau to understand this.She especially didn't understand the words in Hideyoshi's letter: "I don't have any children anymore." This seems to mean that Hideyoshi is old and has no "seeds". Therefore, it is Chacha who gave birth to Hideyoshi's son.If Beizhengsuo himself was infertile, but Mrs. Matsumaru and some young concubines, such as Mrs. Kaga and Mrs. Sanjo, did not have children. What is the reason?Hideyoshi probably knew the inner reason, so he said so. Ono Xiu, the son of the Dazang Bureau, often came to serve Chacha.The two played Double Six, attended banquets, and danced like children.Xiu Xiu is an elegant person, and the maids often talk about him, and some people ask him to write articles.However, he didn't have the chance to accept pampering... The Dazang Bureau remembered that Xiu Xiu once took care of Chacha who had a headache due to drunkenness in the inner court.If men and women want to avoid people's eyes and ears, they will come up with various methods... Because of this doubt, the Dazang Bureau can't understand Ning Ning's subtext. The Dazang Bureau had refreshments, exited Juledi, and was still thinking carefully in the sedan chair.The habit of picking up things after throwing them away is a common occurrence among the common people, and it is not surprising.However, it is not unusual to call the picked-up child "Shi" and not honor it.However, Hideyoshi strictly ordered that even the servants could not add honorific titles to the children.If this is because Hideyoshi knew that this son was not his own, and in order to prevent Chacha's scandal from leaking to the world, he suppressed his anger and ordered... The Dazang Bureau has forgotten Hideyoshi's extreme depression when he lost Tsurumong.The lack of respectful titles is because Hideyoshi is afraid that after great joy, he will be greatly sad.People in the world often say that sorrow and joy go the same way, and a humble name is easy to raise, but she can't understand this. When the sedan chair was about to arrive in Diancheng, the anxiety of the Dazang Bureau became more intense: Mr. Taige really had doubts about Chacha's pregnancy this time. If so, what would he do with this child named "Shi" when he returned triumphantly?What about Mrs. Yodo and Xiu?Once she entered Xiyuan in Osaka City and was called Mrs. Nishimaru, Chacha was completely at the mercy of others, and even her life was in danger.How can adults let go of repairs?It will surely make him harami.The Dazang Bureau became more and more afraid. But how could Lord Taige, who is far away in Kyushu, know this?Wasn't it the Beizheng Office who reported it?The Dazang Bureau thought about it, and the blood all over his body rushed straight to his head.She already believed that the Beizheng Institute secretly incited Hideyoshi, but on the surface it said that it hoped that Mrs. Dian would give birth safely, and that it had set up a trap, which was as poisonous as a snake! When the sedan chair entered the brightly lit city gate, the Dazang Bureau was no longer aware of the intense heat, and Wei’s heart was burning with hatred for the Beizheng Institute: out of jealousy and hatred for Chacha, the Beizheng Institute, who came from a humble background, designed a cruel trap and secretly Waiting for everyone to join... The Dazang Bureau got off the sedan chair, stopped the welcoming maids, and went straight to Chacha's room.The doors on all four sides were open, and Ono's Atong, Zheng Rongni, and Xiang Tingju, who had just come to serve recently, were also present, and everyone was listening to Atong's words.The Dazang Bureau said coldly: "Excuse me, I have something to say to my wife alone." "Wait, okay?" Chacha said, leaning on the table.The wind from the Yodo River is cooler than that from the capital. "No, it's urgent, we have to say it right away. Repair it, and take everyone down for a while." A-Tong stopped talking, and Xiang Ting Ju also stood up, "Then everyone retreat for the time being and take a rest." After everyone left, Chacha couldn't wait to ask: "Did she say she can't go to Osaka?" The Dazang Bureau did not answer her question: "Madam, please be careful not to let repairs come near you." "Hehehe, why? Because of those rumors?" Chacha leaned out mockingly and smiled. The Dazang Bureau said slowly: "I understand Madam's intentions. Madam takes good care of my son. However, if rumors arise because of this, and even endanger Madam and the child to be born, something serious will happen." A pale smile appeared on Chacha's face, "Someone wants to slander me?" "Yes. I saw your lord's letter at the Beizheng Office." "What did your lord write?" "My lord said: He has no children." The Dazang Bureau felt that this was extremely cruel, and looked at Chacha.If Chacha had something to do with repairs, he wouldn't just listen to it like nothing happened. "Hehe." Chacha smiled with a complicated expression, "What else?" "He instructed that the child born is the wife's child alone, and ordered the Beizheng Office to handle the matter accordingly." "Only me?" "Yes, I can see it clearly, it's your lord's handwriting." "My child alone?" Chacha tilted her head in doubt and thought for a long time before Fang said, "So, you can't give birth in Osaka?" "No, I have to move to Osaka as soon as possible and live in Xiyuan." "Oh, that's what it says in the letter?" "No, this is an order from the wife of the Beizheng Office. There is no instruction in the letter, probably the wife of the Beizheng Office didn't discuss this matter with your lord." "Oh." "Also, regardless of whether the child is male or female, they are all called 'Shi'." "pickup?" "You can't even call me a servant, you can only be called 'Shi'. Madame, what's going on? The son of Lord Taige wants the servant not to be called respectfully, and he also said that the Lord has no children and belongs to the wife alone?" Chacha has been leaning on the table, holding her breath and thinking.The Dazang Bureau looked at her, as if she had been stabbed in the chest: probably Chacha herself was not convinced that this son was of Hideyoshi's blood. "Ma'am, what are you thinking? If you don't think of a way, the child born will become trouble." No matter how much he urged, Chacha just didn't move.The unease in the Dazang Bureau gradually deepened. After a long time, Chacha suddenly laughed.The setting sun was projected on her flat forehead, and even the emerging blue veins could be clearly seen, showing how passionate she was.The Dazang Bureau couldn't help being horrified: Could it be that Madam was driven crazy? Chacha suppressed her laughter and said, "Da Zang Bureau." "Yes! The servant was startled, and the lady suddenly laughed like this." "Even if you think that way, of course the rumors will continue to spread." "Ma'am... what did you say?" "Even you suspect me and repair. Hehe, I think it's quite funny, no, it's a pity!" "..." "Rumors are distrust in this world, that's fine!" "Madam's words... are terrible." "No, I'm twenty-six this year, and repairing is more suitable to be my husband. But the lord has reached sixty years of age, and now he has given birth to his flesh and blood... Rumors are disbelief in the world." "Madam, even so, don't joke like that, it's terrible." "What's so scary? I'm thinking about it now." "What is it?" "If the child was repaired..." "Madam, please don't talk about it. If it spreads to other people's ears, you may be killed." "Hmph! If it's repaired, I don't need to bother the Beizheng Office. I can secretly cultivate the son of Xiaofan Daming. Now, it is because this is the son of the Taige, who has not yet been born, that it has caused so much trouble." "Alas! Madame, don't say such things again." "If it's a boy, he even has to bear Guan Bai's resentment. Is this a child's wish?" "Ma'am please—" "Dazang Bureau, people can't be born where they want to live, and they can't die when they want to die... Next, what instructions does the Beizheng Institute have?" Chacha lowered her voice, "If I'm not your lord's concubine, Nobunaga's niece, Asai Naga's daughter, Dazang Bureau, can't you be my mother-in-law?" The Dazang Bureau couldn't help covering its face with both hands, and sobbed.She still didn't get rid of her doubts, Chacha seemed to really like repairing... The Dazang Bureau had a tinge of joy, but also infinite sorrow and sadness, and only choked up and said: "Ma'am, the wife of the Beizheng Office said that only the husband and wife can understand the letters between husband and wife. No one can read the letter except her." The two women who had to face all kinds of dissatisfaction and injustice finally calmed down.Naturally, Chacha's heart would be filled with anger at any time, but now she had to listen to the orders of the Beizheng Office - all the authority of Beizheng that no one could defy. "She is the Beizheng Office!" Cha Cha said. "First of all, move to Osaka as soon as possible and live in Liangyuan." Dazang Bureau said. "That's exactly what I was hoping for." "According to the instructions of the adults, name the child 'Shi'" "That's all." "What Mrs. Beizhengsuo said is something that only couples can understand. In short, the ceremony to pray for a safe childbirth is held at Ise Daijingu Shrine. The wife of Beizhengsuo will arrange everything in detail according to ancient rituals. At the same time, after giving birth All children, whether male or female, must be temporarily thrown outside the city gate..." "I just want to live." "Exactly. Once thrown out, Matsuura Sanuki will pick it up and raise it." "So you're a child of the Beizheng Institute again?" "No, she didn't say it, because Mr. Taige's letter stated that this is only your wife's child..." "If this is true, it would be great." "The wife of the Beizheng Office doesn't just mean that." "What else?" "She seems to mean that after the birth, we will discuss after the adults return in triumph..." "What are you discussing?" "I must want adults to believe that the father of the child is not him..." Chacha didn't answer.Because it was picked up after being discarded, it was called "pick up". She felt that Hideyoshi's helpless love for the child was hidden in it. "The child I gave birth to cannot be given to the Beizheng Office." "However, if she says she wants to give it to her, she still has to give it to her. If she refuses, it's really your own child." "Huh? I think grown-ups say: This is his own child—something else." "Another meaning?" "My lord built Fushimi Castle...he wanted me to live there with my children." "Oh?" "If it is Toyotomi's child, it must be in Osaka. However, Hideji has been decided to be the heir. Naturally, this is my own child." Chacha was surprised by her own words. Alas, maybe this is Hideyoshi's sincerity... Thinking of this, the haze slowly faded from Chacha's eyes.No matter what happens, Hideyoshi always likes surprises, if he is ecstatic because of Chacha's pregnancy, what will he order?Chacha's understanding of Hideyoshi's words is completely opposite to that of the Dazang Bureau - Hideyoshi may be afraid of Hideji. Kanbai Hideji is much simpler than Hideyoshi.Once he knew that Hideyoshi had his own son, he would feel that his position was in jeopardy, and he would even take risks.Its important ministers and followers will also fan the flames from the sidelines, and the result is hard to predict.Hideyoshi must have had these thoughts, so he deliberately said that it was not his son, but Chacha's... The so-called Chacha's children must not inherit Toyotomi's family business, but as Chacha's son, at most they can get some of the family property.Who can know the secret here?Chacha's heart suddenly brightened. The Dazang Bureau's eyes were shining, and he was still thinking hard.Chacha thought she was ridiculous.Chacha knew that Hideyoshi was obsessed with her youth, and also knew that he was deeply saddened by the loss of Hesong, but for this pregnancy, he did not feel joy at all. What is the reason? If Chacha can understand the world more clearly, of course she will immediately understand the deep meaning of the Beizheng Institute.According to what Hideyoshi said, the Beizheng Office will name the child "Shi".As for the place to pray for safe delivery, Ise Shrine is the best in the world.If she understands this, she should be grateful to Beizheng Institute.However, she had never thought of this before. "Ma'am, what are you laughing at?" the Dazang Bureau asked unhappily. Chacha seemed to be a different person, and said happily, "Hehehe, I understand, very good, I won't lose. There is a way..." "Is there a way?" The Dazang Bureau asked suspiciously, and Chacha said in a daze: "Hurry up and call the Xingting Bureau and Zheng Rongni, let's discuss it, hurry up!" As she spoke, she suddenly remembered that Ono's Atong was still waiting Then he said, "Let Ah Tong go back and say that there is something important to do today, and I will look for her later... Hurry up!" The Dazang Bureau stood up suspiciously. She thought that Chacha wanted to discuss with someone, so she called the two of them. Xiangting Bureau, Zheng Rongni and Da Zang Bureau are all Chacha's confidantes.The Dazang Bureau went out, Chacha stared at the void with empty eyes, and occasionally called out, her face was pale and frightening. The three came in, Chacha waved her hands, and quickly said to the Dazang Bureau: "You don't want to interrupt, I want to ask them first." "yes." "Listen, both of you: adults have orders for children." "Congratulations!" Masahiro Ni replied, "Then, do you want Madam to move to Osaka immediately?" "Yes, moving to Xiyuan to wait for delivery, the wife of the Beizheng Office will arrange everything. But there are some worrying words in your lord's letter." "What are you talking about?" Xing Ting Ju leaned forward, his voice tense. "It says in the letter that this is not his son, it belongs to me alone. What does that mean?" "Your child alone..." Zheng Rongni and Xiang Tingju murmured and looked at each other. "The poor nun understands! This may be the adult's plan, and he doesn't want to hand over the child to the Beizheng Office..." Zheng Rongni replied, and the Xiangting Bureau raised his hand to stop her, saying: "I don't think so. I think, the adult probably I am afraid that if the child born is a boy, it will arouse Xin Guanbai's jealousy." Chacha smiled and looked at the three of them in turn.It seems that the three confidants have their own opinions.The idea of ​​the Xiangting Bureau is the closest to that of Chacha, but the situation that Zheng Rongni said and the uneasiness of the Dazang Bureau are by no means impossible. "Dazang Bureau, it seems that everyone has their own ideas." "However, I think the two of them think things too simply." "Hmm! That's why I want to discuss with the three of you. I don't care about naming things for now, but the three people answer in three ways, which is not good for the child who is about to be born. I want to confirm the true meaning of the adults..." "Oh, is it possible that madam is going to Kyushu to greet your lord?" Xing Ting Bureau asked. This is too unexpected.For these three old women, it is really beyond the norm to go to the Kyushu formation to ask Lord Taige in person.However, Chacha didn't mind too much: "Ishida Zhibu should return to the army from North Korea, right? Let Zhibu go and ask why the adults gave such mysterious orders. It's fine if I'm the only child, but why? It's called 'Shi', and people are not allowed to call it respectfully. It's hard to understand his true meaning. Therefore, I'm afraid that this will become an obstacle to production...so write a letter like this, and ask the Zhibu to ask. I will write a letter and ask the Zhibu letter." The three women held their breath and looked at each other for a long time, but none of them understood the details.After a while, Chacha said again: "If you give birth to a son, you will be hated by the Beizheng Office and Guan Bai during your absence, and you may not be able to raise him. How to deal with this matter, I hope the Ministry of Management has some opinions. Therefore, for future , to pass through the Ministry of Administration.” The three kept nodding.Xiang Tingju said: "So, this matter is not only Madam's own business, it is also a major matter for Toyotomi." "Of course it's a big deal." The Dazang Bureau echoed. The thoughts of the three people have not yet merged into one, but it is true that all three people misunderstood Hideyoshi.They were afraid that Beizhengsuo and Guanbai Xiuci would make their sons enemies, so they wrote books to Hideyoshi.On such occasions, if there are no calm and understanding people around, wild imagination, coupled with emotion, will germinate the seeds of tragedy. "After all, my lord is still afraid of Mrs. Beizheng." "No, Kato, Fukushima, Asano, Kuroda and other servants behind Mrs. Beizhengsuo are more terrifying than her. These people regard her as their mother and stand by her side." "So, the wife of the Beizheng Office must be planning to transfer the first attack on North Korea from Mr. Konishi Settsu to Kato." "I can't show weakness either. It seems that not only Ishida Jibu, but also Konishi-sama and Masuda-sama should be told about this matter." "We should consider who to send this letter to. Could it be Kuai Ma?" Among the three, Xiang Ting Ju was the most realistic. "Yeah, who is the right one?" Zheng Rongni frowned and thought. They chattered for a long time, but once they thought about the messenger, they became uneasy.They don't think it's a good thing, what should they do if it is leaked to Beizheng Institute and Guan Baixiuci?All three were worried. "Is there no one?" Chacha urged, and the three of them looked at each other, but they were speechless.Chacha suddenly patted his knees: "Yes! Just repair it. Dazang Bureau, you have told Xiu to leave quietly. On the surface, he is going to express his gratitude to the adults for being able to move to Osaka. In this way, there will be no problems. What's wrong." The Dazang Bureau straightened up involuntarily. For her, what she feared most was letting Xiu be by Chacha's side.Rumors in the world can kill people, not to mention that both of them are still young, and Chacha's willfulness often makes people suspect of misconduct.If there is something that is not seen by the maids, it will be out of control.She then said: "Okay, let Xiu go, Xiu will definitely be willing to work for Madam." "That's very good, by the way, how could we forget to repair it?" Both Yui Tingju and Zheng Rongni had no objection to sending Ono to repair it. When the Dazang Bureau retreated to the room where Xiu stayed, Atong was no longer there, and Xiu, surrounded by maids, was making everyone happy.The Dazang Bureau said seriously: "Xiu, madam is busy, you are going to Nagoya as an envoy." The Dazang Bureau screened the maids back.She thought it was a way to separate the two, and she was very frank about her words: "Before the child didn't know whether it was a boy or a girl, Guan Bai and the wife of the Beizheng Office seemed to be planning something...you know, Beizheng There are many small people like Kato, Fukushima, Kuroda, Asano, etc. However, Madam does not have these people. Now you take the letters from the three of us and go to Lord Ishida quietly, and tell him that Madam entrusted him, please do whatever you want He helps." "Boy... go to Kyushu?" "Why do you have such a face! This is Madam's important matter! If you don't show your sincerity at this time, when will you wait? Remember, don't let the letter be snatched by the enemy!" She unconsciously said the word "enemy" Come on, don't feel alarmist. There are conflicts of interest between human beings, and these conflicts are hopeless in the case of sentimental women.Hideyoshi was also on guard against this, and on all occasions, he focused on the Beizheng Office.Apart from clarifying the identities of the main wife and the concubine, there is no other way to avoid the cold war.The birth of Tsurumatsumaru was not a big deal, but since Mrs. Yodo became pregnant again, the women finally lost their minds.Hideyoshi himself seemed a little confused. At this time, Hideyoshi was busy running around. He ordered President Konishi to prepare for the peace talks, and scheduled to meet with the envoys of the Ming Dynasty who came to Nagoya on May 23rd. At the same time, he had to consider the details of receiving the envoys and the aftermath of the battlefield.If this is a victorious battle, he will be able to handle it with ease, but because he is gradually falling into a bitter battle, he must save his face to negotiate. On June 19th of the second year of Wenlu, Hideyoshi entertained Ming envoys for a boat trip.He wanted to say that Japan was not short of ships, and it was more or less a demonstration.Ten days later, a tea party was held to entertain them in the golden tea room specially transported from the capital.On the battlefield, he ordered Kato Kiyomasa to return the captured second prince, and not to show weakness in the negotiations, to launch a general attack on Jinzhou City... He was thinking about various emergency countermeasures while negotiating. Hideyoshi believes that Chacha has entered Osaka City at this time according to the instructions of the Beizheng Office, waiting for safe delivery.Of course, he was very worried about the child, and his chest ached at the thought that it might be a boy.The conditions of Hideyoshi's agreement are as follows: Welcoming Emperor Ming and Princess as Empress; official and merchant ships will communicate with each other, and vigorously develop trade; tomorrow the two countries will exchange oaths and exchange friendship; the capital and four provinces will be returned to North Korea, and the other four provinces will be ceded to Japan; North Korea will send a prince and one or two ministers to Japan As a hostage; return the second prince of North Korea (already implemented); North Korea vowed never to betray Japan. Now is the juncture for the Ming envoy to agree to these conditions, and it is also the time when Hideyoshi is very busy. At the beginning of August in the second year of Wenlu, which was scorching hot, the flesh and blood of Toyotomi Hidetomi was born in Osaka Castle.After Destiny's Child was born, he was deliberately discarded, and was picked up by Matsuura Sanuki...
