Chapter 30 Chapter Thirty: Three Strategies of the Tea Ceremony

This is the tea pavilion in the mountains built by Hashiba Hideyoshi in Osaka Castle.This morning, a grand tea party will be held here. The weather was fine, and hoarfrost fell all over the yard. Against the red sky in the east, the yard looked solemn and solemn.The people who came to the tea party spit out white gas from their mouths, with smiles on their faces. The hall of the tea pavilion in the mountain was three folds in size, and Qian Zongyi went all the way to the Ganzi Gate, leading the tea drinkers into the tea hall respectfully.Today's Hideyoshi is a completely different person than usual in the battle. He is sitting in the hall with Tsuda Zongji, Naya Shoan, Bandaiya Zongyasu, Sumiyoshiya Zongwu and other tea masters, with an extremely humble attitude.

If someone thinks that Hideyoshi is just obsessed with the tea ceremony at this time, they are very wrong.He is rehearsing a good show to surprise the famous people in the world in this tea room. Hideyoshi first wanted to show people the unparalleled nine-storied castle, and show them his majesty, before taking them to this extremely elegant tea pavilion.After Hideyoshi solemnly served tea, most of the generals were probably in a fog.One more thing not to be forgotten is to show off the gold teapot to the people in the other gold tea room.In fact, this kind of inner show off and superficial humility are essentially the same, and they are nothing more than means to calm everyone down.

Of course, the residents of Sakai Port who attended the tea party knew Hideyoshi's intentions well. It can even be said that they fully understood Hideyoshi's habits, and perhaps secretly regarded him as the leader of Sakai Port. Tea party utensils are otherworldly treasures.Zeng Luli's vase, Shaoou's tea kettle, white tea bowl, several sets, lotus-foot teapot, zygote water vessel... To put it bluntly, even if these are all fakes, Hideyoshi would not be able to identify them.However, it cannot be inferred from this that Hideyoshi is a vulgar person who lacks taste.How could he have the time to enjoy all these while galloping on the battlefield all his life?But in his view, the people in Sakai and Hong Kong and the tea people in front of him are rare undercover agents and money-making machines.

Two people with completely different mentalities gather together intimately. First, they recite poems and compose Fu, and then appreciate Qian Zongyi's tea art and taste fragrant tea.Here, Hideyoshi is like a farmer who has been invited to a strange place and has a dark heart. He looks around and is at a loss.In this solemn and solemn place, he always gives people a sense of incongruity, looking lonely, dumbfounded, and bored-he is waiting for Sumi Yoshiya to finish his last bowl of tea. "I have roughly understood the essence of the tea ceremony," Hideyoshi said. "There used to be a rule in the tea ceremony that tea masters are not allowed to discuss world affairs in the tea room. But for Hideyoshi, it's a different matter. This is a relationship between me and everyone." It's a great place to chat."

"Hahaha." Jiaoan was the first to laugh. "Mr. Zong Yi didn't say that you can't talk about major events in the world. In fact, we have something to say." Banana laughed without hesitation.But Qian Zongyi was indifferent, as if he had nothing to do with the tea party, he just wiped the tea bowl calmly.However, when Hideyoshi called out the word "Zongyi", he also involuntarily responded "Yes". "I want to ask about Ieyasu, what news do you have about him later?" "A man named Abe came to buy muskets, didn't he, Sono?"

"I've heard about it too. It's said that they were purchased for Jiazhou, requiring more than 200 guns." "Oh? That must have been done for me on purpose, as if he wanted to fight me. Hmph! Have the people of Sakai Hong Kong been influenced by Ieyasu?" "certainly." "Then, how did he react to our request to hand over hostages?" "Lord Chikuzen." Jiaoan laughed, "Since Lord Chikuzen himself broke the rules of the tea house, I don't care about it. I think that these are just small things, and there are more important things than this."

"more important?" "Yes. The current general situation is set. Therefore, we hope that Mr. Chikuzen will take a longer-term view and focus on the overall situation." "The overall situation... the overall situation of the world?" "Exactly." Jiao An kept rubbing his hands on his knees, "This world doesn't just refer to the land of Japan. From Korea to Ming Dynasty, Tianzhu, from the southern islands to the West, it is all under heaven. " "Yes, this is called the world." "The idea that we are under the same sun, that is, only refers to the sixty prefectures of Japan, has long been outdated. Now, so many Western ships are flocking to Sakai Port, isn't it the most powerful evidence?"

"Well said!" Hideyoshi said, "It's not that I don't have such thoughts. When Lord Nobunaga promised to give the four countries and China to Hideyoshi, guess how I answered?" "Oh? How did Master Chikuzen answer?" "I don't want the Four Kingdoms and China. What I want is the four hundred states of the Ming Dynasty." At this point, Hideyoshi seemed to think of something, and laughed loudly, and his voice shook the room. "Oh, Master Chikuzen, you've lost your composure." Zong Yi smiled wryly. "Just kidding, just kidding." Jing Zongyi reminded, Hideyoshi scratched his head in embarrassment, and shrank his neck again, "Did something happen in the world?"

"Of course. Taking advantage of Daming's refusal to trade with Japan on the grounds of coastal defense chaos, emerging countries such as Ban (Spain) and Portugal (Portugal) such as England and the Netherlands have left Tianzhu for Daming. If we Sit back and watch, no matter if it is more than 400 prefectures or North Korea, I am afraid that they will be divided up. Therefore, Master Chikuzen should not only use Tokugawa and his like as enemies, fighting back and forth on a palm-sized territory." When Shoan said that, Hideyoshi frowned and scratched his head again. "Jiao'an, are you speaking for Ieyasu when you provoke me like this?" He asked maliciously.

Jiaoan, however, acted nonchalantly, "Exactly." "Ok?" "I believe that this is not just for Ieyasu alone, but also for the people of Sakai and Hong Kong, for the people of the world, and for you, my lord..." "Yes, that's what happened." "Now is the time to distinguish the difference between your lord and the late Youfu. At the time of Youfu lord, the unification of Japan was the top priority. But times have changed. If you are satisfied with only unifying Japan, what will happen to future generations? Mocking you. They will say: 'Hideyoshi is nothing more than an imitation of Nobunaga.'”

"Jiao'an, I think you are not only a wise man, but also a brave person." "I don't dare to take it seriously. I just think that adults are not angry at such words, so they are a little... unscrupulous." "Jiaoan, don't provoke me again." Hideyoshi reproached with a sullen face on purpose.However, after a while, he narrowed his eyes again, seeming to be a little complacent, perhaps, he didn't have this thought in his heart at all. "Jiaoan is right. If I really only focus on the sixty prefectures of Haidao, future generations will definitely think that I am just a person who inherits the will of Youfu and imitates the behavior of Youfu. If I only study some tea ceremony, there is really something It looks like Youfu... more and more like it, isn't it, Zong Yi?" Zong Yi didn't answer, he was still carefully wiping the tea pot with a pleasant voice. "My lord, we can no longer just stare at the rice on this narrow land of Japan, and let the common people suffer," Jiaoan said again. "Yeah, I've been thinking about that too." "Speaking of wealth, those generals who only have rice in their minds, those generals who would risk their lives for an inch of land, are almost all conquered by adults now." "You still want to incite me?" "Incitement and ambition are two completely different things. It is not only the rice that grows from the land that is wealth, and everyone should understand this issue. Regarding this, the people of Sakai and Hong Kong and the wealthy businessmen have much better ideas." "Oh?" "The Shenya in Karatsu, Kyushu excavated infinite wealth from the mountains, transported it to Tianchuan, and taught his son the method of mining and metallurgy. In addition, Oga of Nakatsu, Toyota, bought a large amount of Western iron, made swords, and sold them overseas, winning a lot of money. Profit. Therefore, for the current plan, we should severely crack down on rioting pirates, and look overseas to have a bright future." Jiaoan said enthusiastically. Hideyoshi shook his head disapprovingly: "Oh, oh. Then what should I do with Ieyasu, Shoan?" Hideyoshi caught him at once, but Jiaoan was not afraid. "My lord, you are too impatient." He smiled slightly, "It's hard to talk about the key point, and I will talk about Jiakang's matter later." "Having said that, I always feel that someone asked you to tell these things." "My lord's guess is correct..." "Well, you just tell me the person who entrusted you. Then, I can talk with you and look at the world." "Of course. Since Chikuzen-sama is so concerned, I'll tell you—it's a man named Chaya Shiro Jiro." "Tea house?" "Yes. This person is very insightful, and I am afraid that he will also be a person who looks at the world in the future. Jiao'an, Zongji, and Zongyi all value this person very much." "Oh? What did he say? Tell me not to bully Ieyasu too much?" "He said, don't push Ishikawa too much." "Oh, Ishikawa Hoki..." "grown ups!" "What's the matter?" "My lord, please clarify your overseas plans." "Why are you talking big again!" "This is not a big talk. If it is delayed for another year, the land in the world may be plundered by the Westerners. From Tianzhu, Siam to Annan, Luzon, and Ming Dynasty, they continue to expand their territory and attack the Japanese who go out to make money. Even if Just supporting my people overseas is far more ambitious than You Fu." "Okay, okay, in this way, the Sakai people will benefit the most. Do you want me to be your leader? Well, if it is feasible, I will think about it carefully." "Your Excellency is wise. In this way, the domestic military expenditure will not be a problem. Your Excellency must look at the world and focus on the great cause that the Youfu can't do... In this way, the vision will change." "Does your eyes change too?" "Yes. If you only fight for the narrow land, those who are against the adults can only be eliminated. But once you look at the world, then there is no need to eliminate these people, but for my use. Regarding the late Lord Youfu The shortcoming is that the world also has a lot of criticism, saying that Lord Youfu has killed too many people..." "Hey!" Hideyoshi sighed, but his eyes lit up, "Jiaoan, you guys are telling me to look overseas. In order to realize my ambition, I don't have to judge who is available and who is not." "Exactly, my lord is wise." "Oh, in this way, Ieyasu is my rare helper, is that what you mean?" Having said that, Hideyoshi laughed unscrupulously, but at the same time he was sullen: These Sakai-Hong Kong merchants have seen through my mind ! Speaking of which, there has always been a shadow lingering in Hideyoshi's heart recently. He always wants to prove to the world that he is a leader who has completely surpassed Nobunaga. A mediocre man who avenges his grandpa, completes his unfinished business, and even a deceitful person... Whether it is the recruitment of talents, agile tactics, or the attention to Sakai Port, the construction of Osaka Castle, he is all imitating the letter. Grand Duke.For the past few days, he has been struggling with enquiries, but these sensitive Sakai-Hong Kong businessmen have revealed his secrets.What Jiaoan said today seems to be for the sake of Jiakang. "Haha." Hideyoshi smiled nonchalantly again, "It makes sense. Ieyasu is really good at playing tricks, and he wins all of you together to deal with Hideyoshi." Rather than saying that Hideyoshi was making fun of everyone, it was better to say that Hideyoshi had insight into their thoughts, which was his usual pre-emptive strategy.Hearing this, Nawujiaoan's face tensed up. "grown ups!" "Why, let me say it right? Are you guilty?" "What's wrong with that! Does the lord really think that we are villains entrusted by Ieyasu to fight against the lord?" "Then how else to explain it?" "We never thought of pitting adults against Ieyasu. What we think about is the future of Japan, that's all." "Oh, you're talking big again, Jiaoan..." "Exactly. If you always stick to small things, you have no foresight, and you must have near-term worries. If you don't believe it, you can immediately check the domestic wealth after the Japanese are settled, and the answer will be self-evident. Suppose..." Speaking of this, I don't know if I realized that the words were a bit extreme, Jiao An quickly glanced at Zongyi and Zongji.The two of them just blinked and sat there calmly, but the look seemed to imply that it would be better to be more intense. "If...my lord pacifies all the sixty states of Haidao, then, does my lord think that there are only 60 retainers who want each to be entrusted with a land? I am afraid it will be more than that. I think there are at least three or four hundred people. In this way, how do you judge meritorious service? Rewards? The failure of Jianwu ZTE in the Southern and Northern Dynasties is the same reason. Therefore, adults should set their sights overseas and gather wealth from the world instead of blindly seeking land...Your Excellency should be the one to do such great things! Only in this way Ieyasu is only a small part of it...if your lord doesn't want to use him, but spend a few years to defeat him...do you still have this idea?" Hideyoshi laughed again, wiped the tip of his nose hastily, and stopped him: "Stop talking, Hideyoshi understands." Jiao An also smiled a little embarrassedly. "I didn't expect such a good tea party to turn out like this. I'm really sorry." "No need to apologize. If you apologize, I don't know what else you will say. Hideyoshi is already afraid of you, isn't it, Zongyi?" Zong Yi didn't answer.Zong Wu, who was sitting on the side, seemed to have noticed the abnormal atmosphere of the full house, and interjected with deep feeling: "Your Majesty is very surprised by what Jiao'an just said." "Why?" "I made a bold statement in front of the adults, and said that I only have Japan in my heart. It seems that Mr. Shoan is the only one with such great ambitions." "Haha. Then, these are all for the people of Hong Kong Sakai. So you should be satisfied, Sono? But, without the development of Japan, there would be no prosperity of Sakai City, nor the prosperity of my Hideyoshi. Southeast Asian countries , from kings to monks and boatmen, all of them are working together to seek interests overseas. Only Japan is still in a state of disunity and people are not united. If the country cannot be unified, even if it goes overseas, it will be homeless refugees. Everyone becomes refugees. What about prosperity?" "My lord's opinion." Zong Wu suppressed a smile and nodded solemnly, "Now, there are more than 100 Japanese ships sailing from Japan to Daming, Annan, Luzon and other countries, seeking to develop overseas. These ships, we I think that the unified Japanese flag must be hoisted... please allow me, my lord." At this time, Hideyoshi no longer looked at the crowd, and seemed to get up and leave his seat. "Oh, I forgot something important. That's all for today." "Yes." Everyone said. Hideyoshi stood up, and everyone followed suit. Outside, the rising sun was already shining on the earth, and the frost on the ground was even more dazzling.Hideyoshi, who walked in the sun, has completely changed.He walked for a while with a heavy expression, and stopped to look back at the proud castle tower. The nine-story castle tower, including the underground part, towers majestically under the sky, overlooking the thriving Namba Avenue.Under his majesty, this morning is the same as in the past. Hundreds of boats entering and leaving the port in the river describe the prosperity of this place.Did everyone expect that this place would be prosperous?Merchants and civilians have been relocated from the capital and Sakai Port, and the population here has surpassed that of the capital... Hideyoshi stared at the castle tower without blinking, and said for a long time, "The prosperity of Japan..." Such a sentence suddenly appeared, Hideyoshi seemed to forget the crowd behind him, and walked quickly to the mansion in the city. "Sakichi, quickly call Tomita Sakon and Tsuda Hayato." After hurriedly crossing the corridor, after giving Ishida Mitsunari orders, Hideyoshi had already forgotten about the tea ceremony and Sakai people. "It seems that I have to deal with the family affairs." Half an hour later, Tsuda Hayato and Tomita Sakon both came.Before the two of them sat down, Hideyoshi leaned out and said anxiously, "You guys go to Hamamatsu immediately." Hearing these words, the two couldn't help being stunned. "So, Ishikawa Hoki didn't agree to our request, so he went to reply?" Tomita Sakon asked. The two once visited Ieyasu in Okazaki.That was the time when the two of them, as Hideyoshi's envoys, informed Ieyasu of the result of the peace negotiation. They happened to meet Nobuo's family elders Takigawa Saburobei Yuri and Hikata Kanbei Yurihisa on the road. news.The last time Ishikawa Shuzheng came to Osaka, on the surface it was a gift, but in fact he came to negotiate-in the end, Hideyoshi made a request for a hostage, and Shuzheng had to return angrily. "Yes, that's exactly the matter. Before Shuzheng has replied, you two should go quickly." "Are you going to ask for a hostage?" Hideyoshi chuckled. "You think so too?" "This……" "I asked Ishikawa for a hostage, do you think so too?" The two looked at each other, not knowing what they meant.Regardless of whether Hideyoshi asked Ishikawa for hostages or not, anyway, it was Hideyoshi himself who ordered Shuzheng to deliver the hostages. "Oh." Hideyoshi nodded seriously again, "Since both of you think so, Shuzheng must have misunderstood me. Therefore, you two must go there before Suzheng arrives." "So, what does your lord mean, that you didn't ask for hostages at all?" "Yeah, when did I mention it?" Hideyoshi said, handing the already written letter to the two of them, "Maybe I didn't make it clear, so I asked someone to write down what I meant in the letter. You all clarified for me." "yes." "That's what I said at the time: In normal times, I would definitely take hostages. In addition to Ieyasu's eldest son, I also need to add two elder sons. But now, for the sake of the people of the world, I have to abandon personal grievances and unify as soon as possible. If it is an unknown Xiaofan, it is understandable to be ignorant of this truth, but a smart person like Ieyasu will not be ignorant. Therefore, I want to adopt Ieyasu's son as an adopted son, and work together with Ieyasu to unify the world .Also, in order to find a few good friends for my adopted son, I want to bring the two old sons along with me... Maybe I was flustered for a while, and I understood what I mean as asking for hostages. Actually, I don’t want hostages. , but I really want to adopt Ieyasu's son as an adopted son. The two of you should reiterate it again to avoid misunderstanding." Feeling bewildered, the two looked at each other.The more Hideyoshi said it, the more it seemed like that. "Why, you two haven't figured it out yet? Alas, even you have misunderstood, how can Ishikawa Shusho not misunderstand?" "I don't understand something." Tomita Sakon couldn't bear it any longer, and said, "Sir and Ishikawa said about sending hostages, so it doesn't count?" "Not counting?!" "Your Majesty was there at the time, and your lord did say that... My memory is still fresh to this day." "Zuki! Are your ears growing to your ass?" Tomita Sakon also held back his anger, and replied: "I must have seen the adults too, my ears grow on the side of my head, and they are bigger than ordinary people." "If it's not just for looks, listen to me! I was like, 'I want you to send hostages, but how can I do something so narrow-minded?' That's what I said, no Asking for a hostage, but asking for an adopted son... You missed what I said later, and Ishikawa Shumasa may have missed it too. Well, don't be so long-winded! In short, you just say, I want to adopt Ieyasu's son as an adopted son. " Zuo Jin seemed to understand, and nodded to Hayato Tsuda. "I have one more thing I want to ask my lord." "Don't hesitate, just talk when you have something to say." "I'm worried that the Tokugawa family firmly believes that the adults asked them to take hostages. In any case, Ishikawa's ears are smaller than mine." "Humph!" "If they decide that's the case and are angry, even if we seek a compromise now, they won't accept it. How can it be good? If this is the case, will the two of us just put down the letter and return it?" "Zuo Jin, if that's the case, you should sit up straight." "Sit up straight?" "Let Ishikawa Kazumasa come and cut your stomach to prove your innocence! Hmph! For the sake of caution, I have already mentioned in the letter that they most likely heard it wrong. You were there at the time and heard it very clearly. If only One of them got it wrong and sowed discord between me and Ieyasu for no reason, do you think Ieyasu can agree?" "Oh……" "Remember, your lord Hashiba Hideyoshi is definitely not a narrow-minded person. If anyone thinks this is my compromise, don't come back and tell them that Ishikawa's head must be removed before leaving." "There is one more thing..." "What else?" Tomita Sakon nodded honestly, and then winked at Hayato Tsuda. "What if I say this, the other party really kills Shi Chuan, and we really come back with Shi Chuan's head?" "idiot!" "Sir, in fact, this matter is far from that simple. I dare not speculate on what they will say, but whether it is a hostage or an adopted son, the essence is the same. So, once they refuse, what should we do? You have to think about it too.” When Tomita Sakon said this, Hayato Tsuda also nodded in agreement, because the two of them knew very well the plight that Ishikawa was in. Hideyoshi suddenly reprimanded loudly: "Bastard!" "This……" "Who do you think I am? Although Hashiba Hideyoshi is approachable in your eyes, but in Ieyasu's eyes, I am the most feared person in the world. You just do as I tell you. Ieyasu dare not refuse. " "This... We are naturally aware of these things. However, as emissaries, if there is an accident, if we are not prepared, it may insult our mission... We are worried about these things." "Worry ass!" Hideyoshi scolded loudly, "If you are rejected, you will laugh out loud, saying that Hideyoshi has always regarded Ieyasu as someone who can talk to, but I didn't expect it to be a big mistake. I knew Ieyasu was such a fool , What are you still negotiating? Even if the lord agrees to the plan of adopting a son and marrying a relative, you still don’t agree! After saying this, you will overturn the banquet and walk away. Do you understand?” Tomita Sakon smiled slightly, and looked back at Hayato Tsuda. "You understand, Hayato, let's do this." "Understood. However, Hayato also has a question, please sir..." "Huh? Okay, tell me." "I would like to ask, if people agree, what should we do? If Jiakang agrees on the spot and asks us to take his son away, what should we do?" Hearing Tsuda Hayato's words, Hideyoshi's face darkened, and he turned to one side. "You can refuse." "reject?" "Just say that Hideyoshi wants to welcome Ieyasu's son to Osaka, the world's largest city, as an adopted son, and there are rumors in the world, so you have to make full preparations before announcing it to the world. You just ask when to send him off, and then It is said that we need to make some preparations, and then we can go home." "Then, there is one more thing..." "Long-winded! What's the matter?" "At that time, can we say that Ieyasu will personally send it to Osaka?" After hearing this, Hideyoshi's heart sank: Tsuda Hayato's question was too dark, and it immediately touched his heart.This time he gave way and changed the hostage-taking into welcoming his adopted son, with the intention of calling Ieyasu to Osaka Castle.As long as Ieyasu came to Osaka in person, even under the pretext of "delivering his adopted son", the world's famous names would think that the essence was "handing over hostages", and Hideyoshi's authority would not be damaged in the slightest.If even though Hideyoshi made concessions and the hostage became an adopted son, but Ieyasu still did not come to Osaka, it would be the same as refusing to send the hostages, and it would not be Ieyasu who lost face, but Hideyoshi. Now, if he answers "Yes", Hayato will then ask: "What if the other party says no?" "Hayato..." Hideyoshi was coping, thinking quickly, "In your opinion, will Ieyasu deliver it honestly?" He seemed not confident. "I am afraid……" "You don't understand, it's impossible for you to understand. In fact, Ieyasu must feel that this is a rare opportunity, and maybe he is grateful to me. But his retainers will definitely feel that there is a fraud in it, and object: 'If the lord arrives Osaka, what should I do if I was detained by Hideyoshi?" Therefore, when someone refuses, you should say: "Ieyasu is sick and cannot go. If so, you can't force it. If you are seriously ill, you can do it after you recover." In short, we hope that the ceremony of welcoming and sending off the adopted son will not be too hasty.'” "The subordinate understands." "Okay, get ready to leave now." Saying that, Hideyoshi Yoshimi seemed to remember something. "Wait a minute, bring the wine." He turned his head and stared at Ishida Mitsunari next to him: "How? I am tolerant of this matter." Hideyoshi looked at the two of them and laughed happily - it was time to unleash his best diplomatic offensive again.After the two went to Hamamatsu to convey the oral order, the other party would definitely host a banquet.Therefore, Hideyoshi had a sudden whim and wanted to prepare the materials for the chat at the banquet. "You can tell Ieyasu's vassals that Ieyasu was born to be an extraordinary man. This is my sincere words. In the battle of Komaki, Ieyasu did not make a single mistake, nor did he show any signs of panic. This is very human. He has a long-term vision. After the war, he did not only care about the immediate interests, but looked at the world. If it were Mitsuhide or the generation of the winners, they would be incited by the Nagsogabe of Shikoku or the Hojo clan of Sagami to continue the useless war. And Ieyasu heart Like a rock, he was not bewitched by a villain, but focused on the world. This is why I welcomed my son Yu Yimaru as an adopted son. Yu Yimaru inherited Ieyasu's blood, coupled with my careful training, he will become a Famous generals of a generation. Does this make the two families unhappy?" Having said this, Hideyoshi narrowed his eyes and laughed from the bottom of his heart.Under San Cheng's order, the attendants brought the jug. "I..." Hideyoshi continued to speak while pouring wine for the two of them, "Cultivating a child with outstanding stamina in Osaka Castle is my biggest goal. Do you understand, you two?" "This... raises children?" "Exactly. You don't understand that Ruling Tianxia is no longer the previous Tianxia." "My lord means..." "Before now, the world only needed peace and stability." "Oh." "However, through the efforts of me and You Fu, the great cause of reunification will be completed in a year or two. In the future, Japan should set its sights on a wider world." Tsuda Hayato and Tomita Sakon nodded. "In this way, you can no longer use the old way to deal with problems. It doesn't matter whether it's people, things, ideas, or the way of the samurai. Do you understand? Japan with only sixty states is nothing. People don't happen overnight It can be cultivated. From today on, I must cultivate a master who can look at the world." "Your Excellency is wise..." Hayatoyoshi glanced at Zuo Jin, "So, Your Excellency sincerely wants to adopt Mr. Yuyi Maru as an adopted son?" "Hahaha... You are so good to talk to Ieyasu's retainers. Soon, I will build a big ship like a small mountain with Hidekatsu and Ugimaru and sail to the sea. I am making preparations now. However, before I go out Therefore, as long as he is a virtuous person, he will be reused, regardless of whether he was my enemy before. You tell Ieyasu, for the sake of Japan, please continue to recommend virtuous people for me.” "As ordered." "Okay, let's drink here. In order to make Shuzheng feel at ease as soon as possible, you should leave quickly." The two put down their wine glasses and retreated.Since they have been on missions many times, the two of them have a deeper understanding of Hideyoshi's mind.Hideyoshi was stupefied. "My lord, what's the matter with you?" San Cheng asked worriedly while asking the attendant to clear away the cups and plates. "Saki, I hate Ieyasu!" Hideyoshi said suddenly. "This is not like the words of an adult..." "Even if I call his own son as an adopted son, he may not come to Osaka to greet me." "What if he doesn't come?" "If he doesn't come..." Hideyoshi's eyes were filled with murderous intent, but after a while, he returned to his smile, "Hahaha... I will never give up if I don't let him come! Make sure to let him come! Hateful!"
