Chapter 161 The Battle of Hosting
Late at the eighth night of the eighth month, in the midst of the bursting cry of Mizuna Ishida, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, a worldly man who has dominated Japan for more than ten years and wants to annex China, left this land he worked hard for with infinite melancholy, nostalgia, and worries at the age of 63.
When I learned that Hideyoshi died of illness, the five elders and Wu Sheng had different expressions. Wu Sheng, who was headed by Ishida San, cried to the sky and the earth, and cried to death. Yes, no one will make a decision for them in the future. The Maeda Tatsuya family was already seriously ill and thought they would leave earlier than Hideyoshi, but unexpectedly, the monkey was still robbed first. He couldn't help but burst into tears and lay on the ground for a long time and couldn't raise his head. Ukita Hideya was Hideyoshi's adopted son (my mother was also
Hideyoshi took him as his concubine), but at a young age, he values affection and friendship. When he heard that Hideyoshi had passed away, he ignored the dissuasion of the nearest and insisted on seeing Hideyoshi for the last time. Although he was finally stopped by Mizunashi Ishida, this scene could tell how deep he respected Hideyoshi and how deeply he loved Hideyoshi. As for the remaining Uesugi Keikaku and Muri Fimoto, they first twitched a few times, and then they looked at Tokugawa Ieyasu surprisingly unanimously, because they were worried that their future life would be difficult.
The one who cried the most ruthlessly in the Five Practice was Mitsunari Ishida, and the one with the richest expressions of the five elders was Tokugawa Ieyasu. Logically speaking, his old opponent was deceased and he should be happy, but the occasion was obviously not allowed to do that. On the contrary, he beat his chest and stamped his feet, cried with the sky and the earth, hugged his head and cried with tears in his hands, saying, "I will do my duty to protect the country of the young master and Toyotomi family." He looked like a loyal minister. Everyone present, except Hideopo, would probably be deceived by his superb acting skills.
"Sir, it's not the time to cry," Mitsunari Ishida slowly walked out of the room. His voice was weak and mosquitoes and flies. His face was haggard. He seemed to have become ten years old in an instant. "Taige Funeral Heaven, I should have planned for the funeral."
"Does Taige leave any last words?" Tokugawa Ieyasu asked, wiping his tears.
Sancheng shook his head and sighed, "He choked and couldn't speak out after only two or three conversations with Taige. However, before that, he mentioned to Beizhi that he hoped to ask the Emperor to give him the divine title, and that he did not want to be cremated after his death..."
"I mean, has Taige designated anyone to preside over the funeral?" Before Mizunai Ishida finished speaking, Tokugawa Ieyasu interrupted his words.
Ieyasu's move was quite rude. Ishida Mizunaga thought to himself: "Taoge just passed away. You have become so arrogant. Even if you don't take me seriously, then the Your Highness of the Right Mansion sitting on the side is the young master's backstage and the agent of the Toyotomi family."
Thinking of this, Mizunashi Ishida reciprocates and answers angrily: "This matter does not need to be the inner court, but it is the presidency of Mrs. Dani."
"I'm following your opinion. Taige didn't specify it?" Tokugawa Ieyasu asked.
"There is no need to specify Taige at all. His Highness Hideaki is the heir of Taige. It is natural for Mrs. Yodo to preside over the funeral. What is the dissatisfaction of the inner palace?" Mitsunari Ishida could not stand Tokawa Ieyasu's arrogant appearance, and he faced each other forward to the point and refused to give in.
"Haha, the Ministry of Justice must not be full of words. As we all know, the Beimasato is the main room of Taige. It is better to have her host the funeral." Tokugawa Ieyasu licked his teeth and said casually.
Seeing Tokugawa Ieyasu's arrogant arrogance, Ishida Mizunai was furious, but when he thought that Hideyoshi had just passed away and was not suitable for making noise, he finally suppressed his heart and forced himself to respectfully remind him: "According to etiquette, the funerals of the previous family governors were all presided over by the successor family governors. Now that the young master is young, he should be presided over by his biological mother, Mrs. Yoko. Although the reputation of the Kitatsu Institute is above the concubines, the death is the most important thing, so it is more appropriate to respect etiquette."
"That's it," Seeing that Mizunari Ishida softened, Tokugawa Ieyasu also took a symbolic step back and said gently: "Since we can't convince each other, please give Kaga Danayan justice."
When Maeda Tatsuyaki heard that Tokugawa Ieyasu threw the hot potato to him, the Maeda Tatsuya was immediately panicked and looked around to find a scapegoat. Unexpectedly, Uesugi, Maori, and even Ukita Hideya, who cried the most fiercely, quickly lowered her head and said nothing.
"Young people move quickly." Maeda Takiya stammered like a deflated ball, "This is the famous Komatsu and is indeed worthy of respect. Although Madame Yodo is young, she has created blood for Toyotomi family. With this, she is qualified to take on this important task. I think it's better to let Madame Yodo and Madame Yodo preside over it together. What do you think?"
"What a joke!" Tokugawa Ieyasu suddenly interrupted: "Korean Masato is the leader of the harem. It is reasonable for her to host the funeral. How can she host the funeral with her? Danayan should pay attention to the right degree of speaking."
Mizuna Ishida didn't expect that before he could speak, Tokugawa Ieyasu took the lead. He was so angry that he came and said harshly in his heart: "If you don't want to host together, am I willing?"
"Shuhuo's words are blunt," Mitsunari Ishida bowed and said, "There is no precedent for the funeral that the two concubines jointly presided over. Unfilial piety is the greatest. Mrs. Hiroshi gave birth to the young master, which made great contributions to the Toyotomi family. With this alone, she would take the initiative."
"Since the meaning of the Ministry of Obstetrics, many concubines including Kitamasara are unfilial?" Tokugawa Ieyasu snorted coldly and glanced at the Maeda Taki family. (The daughter of the Maeda Taki family, "Kaga Temple", is also Hideyoshi's favorite concubine)
The Maeda Takiya certainly knew what Tokugawa Ieyasu meant. In order to vent his anger, his face turned dark and he scolded Mizunai Ishida: "The words of the Oshima Ministry are a bit rude. The fourteen concubines in Taige, except for Mrs. Hiroshi, are the other thirteen women who are not filial?"
Mizunashi Ishida also realized that he had said the wrong thing. Seeing that the Maeda Tatsuya was pulled over by Tokugawa Ieyasu, he really wanted to slap him a few times. While he was praying to admit his mistake, he looked at the other big bosses, hoping that anyone could stand by him. Unfortunately, the three of them still maintained the same state as before. They said it was light and they were like children who made a mistake. If they were heavy, they were somewhat similar to the statue of Qin Hui on the shore of West Lake in Hangzhou.
After discussing for so long, the matter was still unpredictable. The Maeda Rika was also anxious: "I am just one of the five old people. Why do everyone want to push the problem to me? I'm not the hindsight of Hirolai..."
"By the way," Maeda Taki's eyes lit up, and he secretly rejoiced in his heart: "Isn't the Taige appointed by him here? Let him give him an explanation soon?"
Thinking of this, Maeda Takiya coughed and said solemnly: "Don't argue anymore. Since Taige appointed the Right Mansion as the young master's consent, let's leave this matter to him. I wonder what you think?"
"Good idea", "Well, it's good." Wu Fengxing and the five elders nodded and said yes, "After all, it's Kaga Dayan, you think about it with thought." As he said that, everyone turned their eyes to Xiubo, who was watching the show on the side.
