On the 22nd day of the twelfth lunar month, there are eight days left before the New Year, but the news that Hideopo is about to enter Osaka to congratulate the New Year has spread like wildfire. Even the vendors in the market know that on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Hideopo will bring his legitimate son Takeno Maru, his legitimate daughter Toyotomi Maki, his eldest daughter Toyotomi Taotao and four wives to Osaka to congratulate Toyotomi Hidera and Madam Yone. Of course, if Hideopo had not done so intentionally, how could it be spread to the world?

At this time, the debate about whether to assassinate Hideobo was still going on. In addition to the Maeda brothers and Osaka-jirata and other radical factions, many lords around Osaka also sent people to attend the meeting. Due to disagreement with Mitsunari Ishida last time, Mitsunari Maeda did not invite Toshitsu to attend this time. However, considering the importance of this, Tamaida still persuaded Maeda and persuaded Maeda to invite Mitsunari Ishimasaki Ikoma and Ikara Nakamura to participate in the meeting. At the end, Mitsunari Ishida could not withstand Rimasaki's persuasion and sent Maeda Nakamoto and Nagasu Masaki to the meeting.

Since Horio Yoshiharu, one of the three middle school seniors, has become a retainer of Hideopo, before Toyotomi Hideyoshi passed away, she adopted Mitsuna Ishida's suggestion and added Mitsuna to Koda Oribe, one of the "Seven Sages of Rikkyu", to add Mitsuna to the Middle School. However, what Sansheng did not expect was that the Koda Oribe did not seem to be grateful to Mitsuna. Instead, she felt that the appointment of Mitsuna could not study the tea ceremony with peace of mind, and then complained to Mitsuna.

It is because of this complaint that Shigeran Koda has been living in Jiegang for a long time on the grounds of being ill, and has never entered Fushimi or Osaka to deal with government affairs. Ishida Mitsunari always gritted his teeth whenever he mentioned this matter, regretting how he could have let this old antique participate in the decision-making level, and wasting an important position such as Zhong Lao; however, for Hideo, this matter did not seem to have much impact. Shigeran Koda was originally Oda

Nobunaga's retainer, Honnoji, followed Toyotomi Hideyoshi until today. He is generally a member of the Toyotomi Sect. As Hideyoshi's "Okazu", he inherited Chirikyu's superb tea art and was loved and respected by the world for his reputation as "the tea head of the world". It is reasonable and just right to let him serve as the middle-aged and elderly person who is mainly responsible for reconciling the relationship between the big brother and the pursuing relationship. This is also the advantage that Hideyoshi and Mizunaga first thought of.

However, as the person involved, how could Kota Chongran not notice this advantage? It was because he felt his important influence between Daming that he decided to resign from his official position and return to Jiegang to live in seclusion. After all, the lessons of Chilixiu's past lies there. Tea people only need to concentrate on studying the tea ceremony, and it is better to have less political intrigue.

What he didn't expect was that he was recruited into Osaka again after he had just retired for less than three months. This appointment of the middle-aged and elderly person could be said to have brought him into a larger vortex. Even if he was unhappy, he could only nod and agree in the face of Hideyoshi's cold eyes.

However, people who hoped to protect themselves were always lucky. Shortly after accepting the appointment, Toyotomi Hideyoshi died in Osaka Castle for about ten days. Later, Koda Shigeran sneaked out of Osaka while Ishida Mizunai and Hideopo were fighting, and returned to the tea house in Jiegang again to live a life of idle clouds and wild cranes.

After that, no matter how Mizunai Ishida asked, Kota Chongran refused to argue. He neither expressed his attitude nor resigned from his post as a middle-aged man, which made Wu Sheng very indignant. He even planned to demote this old man to a civilian after the removal of Hideopo.

After hearing this news, Koda Shigeran even said that he was ill and stayed at Jiegang honestly, leaving all the matters in the territory to his eldest son. It was from then on that time that Ichi-shi Nakamura and Ikoma took charge of the affairs of the middle-aged and old people, becoming the most important link between the five masters and the five elders.

The scale of this secret meeting of Maeda Tatsunaga was much smaller than that of Ishida Mitsunaga. Not only did the four elders not send anyone to attend, but the powerful daimyos from all over the country were unwilling to interfere with this muddy water. However, this did not shake Maeda Tatsunaga's determination at all. He believed that as long as the daimyos near Osaka could be united and killed Hideopo instantly, even if the Yamato Toyotomi family launched a large attack afterwards, they could carry Hideopo out. In addition, the raw rice had been cooked and then the Wu followed the reconciliation. I believe that the important officials under Hideopo would not dare to continue to make things difficult for him. As long as this plan was completed, the Yamato Toyotomi family would have no leader and would never cause any trouble. By then, the world would be stable. Maeda Tatsunaga would take over Fushimi as a hero of Yasuna and take charge of the world instead of Hideopo. From then on, the Tatsunaga would rest assured.

Matsuda Nagamori and Nagasus Masato looked at each other in disrespect. They were so straightforward and concise, only these young people could think of it. However, this strategy is easy to say, but it is not that simple to implement. Not to mention whether the assassination can be successful, even if it can be done, can he be sure that Mrs. Yodori is willing to give Hiderai out for the Masato family to use?

Faced with the doubts about the two practices, Maeda Tatsunaga was confident: "I have heard that Mrs. Hiroshi had a long time ago that Mrs. Hiroshi had ambiguous relationship with the Right Mansion. If she refused to hand over the young master, it would just prove this. At that time, Humph, don't blame me for being rude!" After that, Maeda Tatsunaga made a knife and looked back at the two practices coldly.

"Where did you hear this?" Matsuda Nagamoto breathed a sigh of relief and stuttered: "That is the wife of Taige, the young master's biological mother. Such a rumor that damages reputation, the Major General cannot speak nonsense."

"Nonsense? Humph, there is evidence here." Maeda Taki refused to give in and insisted on explaining the matter clearly in front of Toyotomi's retainers. "This matter is not false, but it is revealed to Mrs. Yodori's close minister."

"Certain ministers? Can you explain it clearly?" The Nagashu Zheng family couldn't believe this.

Maeda Tatsunaga looked around, hesitated for a moment, and finally said boldly: "Everyone gathered here for the sake of the Toyotomi family's Antai, and it's just a family. It's not convenient for Li Tatsunaga to hide it. To be honest, the one who told me about this is the young master's wet nurse, Dazangqing Bureau."

"Da Zangqing Bureau? Isn't that the young master's wet nurse?" Matsuda Nagamoto finally began to shake. Since it was from the woman's mouth, it was a bit true.

"You are right." Maeda Tatsunaga was very satisfied with Matsuda Nagamaki's reaction and said solemnly: "She is someone that Mrs. Yodori trusts very much. Since this matter has been heard from him, you should believe it."

"If this is true, it will really make Taige feel disappointed." Aoki Ichie, who was sitting beside him, couldn't help but lament. As one of the only two daimyos in the country of Sezu, his knowledge and practice were only 10,000 stones, but he was responsible for stationing in the Asa Castle nearest to Osaka. It should be noted here that this Aoki family is Mino Aoki family and has no close ties with the Aoki clan of the Hideo family.
