Chapter 378 The world is hot and cold

"Your Highness, you are not exonerating your brother, but just attacking the inner palace. If it is all pushed to him, aren't you afraid that he will be entangled in front of everyone? Anyone who believes in his statement will have an irreversible impact on your prestige and Toyotomi."

Regardless of whether Mabi Yoshigan has the intention to plead for Mabi, Xiu Baozhen will ignore the agreement reached with Mabi and pour all the dirty water on him alone. Even if the latter is weak, he will still fight hard in the face of life and death. How to deal with it at that time is indeed a difficult problem.

"What should I do according to your opinion?" Although Xiubao had made a decision in his heart, he still solicited opinions from Yoshigan Mabi.

"In the opinion of the fool, as long as he can be dismissed, it is enough. There is no need to do too much..." Mabi Yoshigan replied carefully with his head down. When he spoke later, his voice was so weak that only he could hear it.

"Mr. Yigan, you must not be kind to a woman." Hearing Mabi Yoshigan say this, Hideoba directly refused: "If you don't add the charges that followed by An Yishou, where will your righteousness for inciting the riots come from? What is the basis for reviving the Mabi family? How dare I support you without righteousness? Besides, I have said that An Yishou has not been wrong in his appearance this time. The more this happens, the more effort it needs to be put into the charge. I thought you were the one who could follow me to achieve great things. In this way, I must have read the wrong person."

Hidebo’s words made Mabi Yoshigan sweat coldly. Especially when he heard Hidebo’s evaluation of him, he immediately bowed and said, “Your Highness is sincere and I am here… No, how dare I not be loyal? I just think my brother will not submit easily, and I am worried that there will be troubles when the time comes.”

Mabi Yoshikan changed his words to call himself a "member". Hideo knew what this meant, but he was unwilling to correct him. On the one hand, since he had to rely on the Yamato Toyotomi to achieve revival in the future, it was understandable to be the subject; on the other hand, Hideomo also subtly understood his status in the world's daimyo, especially after this battle, he no longer had to be too humble with these people. After all, he was the back of Toyotomi Hidera, and represented the Toyotomi, and his words and deeds must be in line with his identity.

"I don't think so." Hideosaki said leisurely: "Since he is willing to send Sazhu's ninjas to sneak attack the inner palace, he must be ready to sacrifice himself, especially in the conversation with him just now, I firmly believe in this. He will never put Sazhu in crisis in order to save his life, otherwise he would not agree to a deal with me. Of course, this is just the first point."

"Second point, when you come back to Chang Lu incite the deposed An Yi Punishment, I will detain him. At this time, I will label him assassinating the inner palace, but I will not rush to execute him. However, any smart person knows my intention. An Yi will definitely give up the position of monks and governors in a timely manner and bear all the charges. And I will escape because of the tacit understanding here. This is a good result for you and me."

"As for the last point, since this matter was ultimately aimed at punishing Satake, if An Yishou couldn't figure it out and planned to tear apart with me for the sake of the master's family, I was not afraid. Do you think the letters from Satake's private affairs were really burned down? With those letters, An Yishou could only take over this pot of dirty water, and it would not have any impact on my prestige."

"Your Highness is thorough in thinking, I really admire you!" Although Hideopo's careful arrangement made Mabi Yoshigan both startled and scared, he still breathed a sigh of relief when he learned that Hideopo did not intend to kill Mabi.

"I got the news not long ago that Satake is also preparing to send troops to Kanto?" Although the ninja has reported this to Hideo many times, he still wanted to confirm with Mabi Yoshigan.

Mabi Yoshigan nodded very simply and said, "Yes, the troops in the border with the Tokugawa clan are very frequently mobilized. I think Chang Lu's servant is preparing to defeat his merits by attacking Tokugawa clan."

"It's really hard that he came up with such a solution," Shuibao sneered, "If I had known today, why would I have to be back then? No matter how hard he works, the ending will not be changed."

"The Satake family makes way for the army of the inner palace, which is simply unforgivable. It is natural for Your Highness to punish it severely." Yoshigan Mabi took the opportunity to instigate him.

"Okay, don't talk about it. The joint meeting will make a decision. It won't be your concern." Hideopo was a little disgusted with Machi Yoshigan's face. In fact, if it weren't for Machi's attitude just now, Hideopo would still want him to continue to lead Machi. Now that his younger brother takes the opportunity to take the lead, there is no way to make a decision.

"It's getting too late, so I will return to Chang Lu now. As soon as there is news, I will send someone to inform Your Highness." Perhaps because I heard the tone of Shuibao's words, Mabi Yoshigan hurriedly said goodbye to Shuibao. After getting Shuibao's approval, he left the tea room in disappointment.

"It's pretty good at looking at the face." Hideopo smiled helplessly, then he called Sengjin to change his clothes, preparing to "discuss the past" with Tokugawa Ieyasu in the Oden.

Numata Castle is not big, but now there are 140,000 troops gathered inside and outside. This is a grand occasion that has never been seen at any time. Those Damen with more than 50,000 stones can barely have decent Yashiki to live in. The little Damen with less than 50,000 stones is a bit miserable. Some live in the homes of lower-level samurai and merchants, and some even can only live in the homes of farmers. Although the environment is not good, the mood is not bad. I think that after the war, I will receive rewards or even additional seals, even if I let them live in the open air, I should be able to bear it for a few days.

Although Tokugawa Ieyasu was a defeated general, he still caused a great sensation when he entered the city at noon. Many daimyos and samurai gathered on both sides of the main road leading to the Oden, scrambling to witness how much this former world-noon name would be.

"Look at that retainer of the Pu Sheng family, he was still timid when he came to ask for his family and bowed his head and eyebrows. Today, he looked like this, which is really disgusting!" Honda Tadao said, staring at a middle-aged man on the roadside.

"Heihachiro, you don't know what the Pu Sheng family has to do with the Right Prefecture now. It is normal for him to be so arrogant. Maybe it's not just for the family, but for other daimyos." Tadsas Okubo comforted him. He knew that Pu Sheng Hideyuki was the first to form an alliance with Hideo. Although he was ordered to stay behind and step down this time, it was natural to get rewards after the war with Hideopo. Therefore, although the arrogant attitude of the retainer was unpleasant, it was understandable.

"Haha, look, there are all small fish and shrimp along the way, and those big names, Kuroda Kakaitsu, Kingo Nayan and Shimazu attendants, all shrank?" Suhara Yasumasaki said sarcastically after searching the crowd.
