Chapter 281 Return of the Japanese Empire (31) Mrs. Yodo
At the end of the discussion, Sanxiang seemed to have changed. He hid all his sharp edges and said very calmly: "The first seven days have passed. I want to visit the young master after His Highness's body is burned, and then rush to Hakata immediately."
In his opinion, Ieyasu had fallen into the trap. When he arrived in Hakata, he wanted to meet with the withdrawing generals and hint them first, which would surely benefit them immensely.
Then, Sancheng happily went to the inner court to visit Mrs. Yodo. But for some reason, Mrs. Yodo's mood was a little abnormal today, which made him very strange. He had warned Mrs. Yodo a long time ago, asking her not to reveal her grief for losing her husband.
To avoid being noticed.
Suddenly, a suspicion that had never occurred in the past popped up in Sanzheng's mind, which shocked him - this woman knew that Taige's body would be reduced to ashes on Amitabha Peak, and she probably realized one thing: from now on,
She is free.
"This thin, sick monkey, this ugly old man with a foul smell all over his body will finally disappear from this world." Perhaps it was this thought that made her feel mixed.
Human life is the accumulation of sins. It may be an unspeakable tragedy or a capricious comedy.
Hideyoshi, a farmer's son who was born in Owari Nakamura, was braver and more shameless than anyone else during his lifetime. It was through endless conspiracy and killing that he became a so-called unparalleled hero, and finally lived in the Golden House and Jade Pavilion and enjoyed all the glory.
Wealth.
However, all of this is just a dream. Now, his body has been stripped of his clothes, surrounded by piles of firewood, and is waiting to be burned. Who is this punishment, and whose sins is it to cleanse?
Mrs. Yodo's grandfather and father both died of seppuku because of the rise of the Oda family. Her stepfather Katsuie Shibata and biological mother Mrs. Aichi were forced to commit suicide by the Oda usurper Toyotomi Hideyoshi. Compared with their deaths,
How much can Taige win now? At least they told the enemy that they would rather die than surrender, but Taige was in tears all the time, bowing his head and begging for mercy.
When Mrs. Yodo thought of his ugly appearance before his death, she had a strong urge to vomit. Is this Japan's unparalleled hero? Is this the world's man who obeys his words?
Of course, Mrs. Yodo must have really liked Hideyoshi. When Hideyoshi conquered the great names of the world with his power, all his sins were covered up by the shining light of gold. Even the killing sword he held in his hand looked so solemn at that time.
noble.
She was so restrained by such an old man that she could not move. She could only be a servile servant and endure the pain. The situation in her life was really unbelievable. However, now, the rope that restrained her was finally loosened and rotted away bit by bit.
"Nothing can restrain you now." Another woman hidden in Mrs. Huan's heart kept whispering to her, making her want to cheer.
As night fell, the maid brought a lampstand and lit up the four walls. On the partitions were Hideyoshi's favorite paintings, and on the caisson was a colorful picture of flowers blooming. If possible, it would be a good idea to hold an all-night banquet with your loved one here...
Just when Mrs. Yodo was blushing and thinking wildly, Mitsunari Ishida suddenly came to visit.
"Your Highness Jibu, I have been waiting for you for a long time." Mrs. Yodo hurriedly sat upright. To her own surprise, her unintentional expression seemed to be trying to please or even flatter.
She has lived the life of a widow for nearly a year, and judging from Taige's physical aging, she has actually lived the life of a widow for much longer. She is only thirty-two years old this year.
The charm is still there, and the desire for sensuality breaks through the shell of rationality from time to time and pokes its head out restlessly.
Sancheng just felt dizzy and quickly turned his head to the side and said: "I just went to His Highness's bed to say hello. His Highness asked me something and I rushed over immediately."
Mitsunari vaguely felt from the expression on the dining table that the news of Hideyoshi's death had been leaked, but he continued to say relaxedly: "In compliance with Taikaku's order, I will rush to Hakata immediately."
"Ordered to withdraw troops from North Korea?"
"Yes. This is an important mission. In any case, Kato, Fukushima, Asano's son and others are all brave and reckless generals. Madam may also know that they have grudges against Mitsunari for no reason."
Sancheng said with a wry smile.
When he found that Mrs. Yodo was not listening carefully, he deliberately lowered his voice: "In fact, what worries me most is that those people's dislike of me may turn into a dark cloud over the young master's head..."
"Disgusted?"
"Yes. The person standing behind the generals has always been the wife of Beizhengsuo." Sancheng pretended to be talking to himself, glanced at the dining room next to him, then changed the topic and asked: "Is the young master at the wet nurse now?
?”
Mrs. Yodo completely fell into Sancheng's trap and ignored this sentence. Instead, she asked: "His Majesty Jibu's words are really worrying. You just said that the generals' dislike of you might turn into dislike of the young master?
"
"Ah, this..." Sancheng responded deliberately, but his eyes were wandering, and he sighed: "If this happens, something big will happen. In order to make everyone remember 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, it still won't make people feel at ease."
"Madam, there is something I don't know if I should ask...Although this is just a folk rumor, if His Highness Taige passes away, madam, what are your plans?"
"Me? What on earth are you talking about that makes you so worried?"
"Whether Madam wants to take care of the young master or remarry, everyone is guessing."
"Humph!" Mrs. Yodo was filled with butterflies when she heard the word "remarry". Her younger sister Taki has been married four times and is now a member of the Tokugawa family. Now it seems that someone else is making plans of her own.
Mrs. Yodo's face darkened: "It's really better to guard against others than to guard against Chuan. Which family did they say they wanted to marry me to?"
"They said that Madam will choose to marry His Highness the Zuofu... It's a coincidence that the Zuofu is currently short of a wife."
"Zuofu?"
"Yes. In this way, His Highness Zuofu will naturally become the stepfather of the young master, and he will get the most beautiful woman in the world at the same time. Zuofu has always been cunning and calculating, and he will definitely have some ideas."
"Am I going to be the woman of Zuofu?" Mrs. Yodo asked in a strange tone.
Sancheng pretended not to hear and said calmly: "If so, Mrs. Beizhengsuo must be very happy."
Mrs. Yodo stared silently. She didn't pay much attention to Mitsunari's last sarcastic sentence. At this time, she was already immersed in fantasy. The first thing that appeared in front of her eyes was her younger sister Ajie who was married to Tokugawa Hidetada.
Ae and Hidetada have already given birth to a daughter, Senhime. At Hideyoshi's insistence, Senhime and Hideyori were engaged. If Chacha marries Ieyasu as the main wife, it would mean that the sisters marry the father and the son. This kind of thing is common in
It is not uncommon in Japan, and this kind of imagination does not make her unhappy at all for the energetic Mrs. Yodo.
Of course, Zuofu is very fat, but Mrs. Yodo is not disgusted with this at all - after all, Zuofu is better-looking than that thin and ugly old monkey.
Mrs. Yodo even thought that if the two sisters of the Asai clan married into the same family, some people might think that the Asai clan who was eliminated by Hideyoshi left two orphans and actually annexed the Toyotomi clan and the Tokugawa clan. As long as she and the
Ah Jiang and Qi Xin work together...
She was just thinking about it, but Sancheng poured cold water on her: "Madam, this is not the only rumor, there is more to it."
"What's next?"
"It is rumored that Madam is born with integrity. How could she fall into such a conspiracy so easily?"
"conspiracy?"
"Yes. Once Zuofu becomes the young master's stepfather, he can be raised by his side, and then without anyone noticing... poison the young master, or create an accident at will!" Sancheng stared at Mrs. Dian closely, his tone
Bing Liang: "What the Zuo Mansion wants is not you, Madam, nor the Young Master, but the world! Therefore, rumors say that Madam will never sell herself and her son to Tokugawa, and Madam will never agree to such a marriage."
"Ah..." Mrs. Yodo was really surprised and didn't even know how to answer.
"People also say that for the sake of the future of the Toyotomi family, it would be best for my wife to marry Maeda Dainagon."
"Maeda Danagon?"
"Yes. Dai Nagon is the first person in the world who can suppress Ieyasu's ambition... Moreover, according to the Taikaku's will, Dai Nagon is also the assistant administrator of the young master, which makes it even more reasonable."
Mrs. Yodo frowned and fell silent. In fact, in terms of character, Li Jia is indeed good, honest and reliable, and does not look like someone who would treat her badly. But in this way, she cannot be in the same place as Ajiang and Yu.
Door, the dream of the two orphans of the Asai family to take over the world must have come to nothing...
"I'm just talking casually. Maybe someone will bring up these things when I'm not around. Madam must be more careful and beware of people with ulterior motives... If someone really does something, it can't be someone else.
It’s Mrs. Beizhengsuo. Because the person who is most afraid of you, madam, is undoubtedly Beizhengsuo.”
At this time, Mrs. Yodo could no longer hear what Mitsunari was saying. She was lamenting in her heart that her entanglement with Hideyoshi was not over yet, and she would be tragically bound by her own son Hideyori again. Her heart was filled with infinite emotion and sadness.
I feel like a boundless black curtain is stretching out in front of my eyes...
"Madam is born with intelligence that no one can match. Even if His Highness passes away, you can make your young master live up to the high expectations of the people. You don't have to worry about this at all. Sancheng made this assertion when chatting with other monks.
Even if two or three of the returned generals come into contact with Beizheng and have some plans, they will not betray the young master. And after the generals are welcomed to Hakata, 30% will sincerely express their kindness to His Highness Taigaku..."
At this time, Mitsunari no longer cared about Mrs. Yodo's reaction. All he needed to do was break the dream of the woman in front of him and drive a nail into her heart that would never let her rest at ease.
This shadow has been deeply implanted in Mrs. Yodo's heart - the ones who need to be most vigilant are Ieyasu and Hokizashi, and the only one who can fight against them is Maeda Toshiie.
Even though Mrs. Yodo didn't care much about Taikaku, as a mother, she always loved Hideyori deeply. Even if it was just for the sake of her son, she would be wary of Ieyasu. If she continued to talk about it, it would arouse her resentment.
.After all, Mrs. Yodo is not an ordinary woman, she is very competitive.
"From now on, the weather will get colder. Madam, please pay more attention to the body of the young master." Sancheng gave a solemn salute and stood up, feeling very comfortable.
Hideyoshi said more than once during his lifetime that in this world, the only one who can match his wisdom is Jibu. Now, Ishida Jibe also knows that he has become the pillar of the Toyotomi clan and the Toyotomi clan's leader.
The world needs him now.
Your Highness Taige, please rest assured that I have not failed to fulfill His Highness’ wishes. Sancheng thought to himself.
But Mrs. Yodo said nothing. After Sancheng was sent away by the Food Court Bureau, she still sat there blankly.
"Madam." The dining room called out, but Mrs. Yodo didn't answer.
"What are you thinking about, madam?" The dining bureau had just finished asking. He seemed to have remembered something, and hurriedly sat upright and said, "It is now the You hour, and it is time for the body to be burned... Madam, please forgive me for your negligence."
With that said, the dining room hurriedly stood up, took down the rosary from the bookshelf and hung it on Mrs. Yodo's wrist. She also clasped her hands together and closed her eyes.
At this time, it was completely dark outside, and there was a chilling silence all around. Suddenly, the sound of flames beating came from somewhere, as if something was burning, and it lasted for a long time.
The dining bureau seemed to be very moved and sighed: "Madam, human life is really unpredictable. Even people like Tai Ge will turn into dust after they pass away."
However, Mrs. Dian suddenly let out a big breath and said in a deep voice: "Call the young master and ask the Tibetan Bureau to come with him."
"Yes...yes. I'll call you immediately." Xianting thought that Mrs. Dian felt lonely when she was being cremated in Taige and wanted to have her son by her side, so she hurriedly got up and left.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Zhibu... this bastard!" Mrs. Yodo bit her lip in disdain.
Soon, the Ozo Bureau came in holding Hideyori in hand, and the Dining Bureau followed shortly after. She did not dare to look at Mrs. Yodo, because she was afraid that Mrs. Yodo would hug Hideyori into her arms and cry desperately as soon as she saw her.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Yodo neither hugged Hideyori into her arms nor cried bitterly. Hideyori held the unfinished wooden boat in his hand, smiled silly at his mother, and sat down, but Mrs. Yodo just looked coldly.
Keep an eye on him.
Seeing this scene, the Food Court Bureau couldn't help but swallow a gulp of saliva.
Madam, you are indeed of Asai blood! Asai Nagamasa and his father Kumasa are not people who bow their heads easily, and Mrs. Yodo obviously bleeds the same blood...especially her biological father Asai Nagamasa. The reason why he died that year seems to be
It is precisely because he refuses to bow his head.
Originally, Lord Nobunaga married Asai Nagamasa, his sister Aichi, who was known as the most beautiful woman in the Warring States period, which was actually a political marriage. This could achieve the purpose of attacking the Saito family from two directions. But the young Asai Nagamasa did not let it go.
Lord Nobunaga was disappointed and followed Lord Nobunaga to eliminate the Saito family and the Rokkaku family.
He also had a very good relationship with Aichi, and they had three daughters and a son. During this period, the relationship between the Oda and Asai families was also very close.
However, when Nobunaga was attacking Asakura Yoshikage, Nagamasa suddenly raised the flag of rebellion and declared war on Nobunaga. There are many reasons for Asai's betrayal of Oda. The most famous one is that Nagamasa's grandfather was once attacked by the North.
At the other end of the moral balance was the "sworn brother" Oda Nobunaga, so Asai Nagamasa betrayed Nobunaga for his former benefactor.
Of course, there is another theory, which is that when the Oda family and the Asai family formed an alliance, one of the conditions put forward by the Asai family was not to attack the Asakura family. When Nobunaga broke the agreement and attacked the Asakura family, Asai Nagamasa believed that Nobunaga
As expected, Nobunaga was not trustworthy, so he decided to take the opportunity to eliminate Nobunaga.
In the Battle of Anesikawa, the Asai-Asakura coalition forces were defeated by the Oda-Tokugawa coalition forces, and were attacked by the Oda forces ever since. When Asai Nagamasa realized that the city was about to fall, he sent his wife Aichi and San
His daughter was sent back to the Oda family, while he and his father, who had long since resigned as governor, committed suicide in the city - refusing to lower their proud heads until death.
The Feasting Bureau was just thinking when they suddenly heard Mrs. Dian say bitterly: "The administration is really arrogant!"
Her voice was so harsh that the Dazang Bureau and the Tao Ting Bureau were shocked and asked in unison: "Madam, you... what did you just say?"
"Xianting, what do you think of Zhibu?"
