Chapter 4 Osaka's Secret Discussion
Hearing Hidebo’s words, Ogasawara Takaki and others were not inconvenient to say anything. However, Changlianlong also developed a little affection for Hidebo: "I heard that His Highness of the Right Mansion was tolerant and open-minded and did not save others with malicious intentions. When I saw him today, it was indeed sincerely admired by the foreign ministers."
"I'm afraid this little tolerance is not as good as one-tenth of Da Nayan. It's really an over-reward." Xiu Bao immediately bowed to Changlianlong and said.
"Your Highness is too modest. In this suppression of civil strife, the Right Mansion has made the best contributions in the world. This is what the old lord thinks is right." After that, Changlianlong bowed to Hidepo solemnly. As the representative of the Maeda clan, his words were enough to show Maeda's attitude towards Hidepo.
While the two were talking, in Osaka Castle not far away, the long talks between Mitsunai Ishida, Masaki Nagasu, Nagamori Maeda and Genyi Maeda have lasted for nearly a day. Unlike the relaxing atmosphere on Ikoma Mountain, in Mitsunai Ishida's Mitsunai Ishida's atmosphere is very depressing and tense.
Earlier, Asano Nagamasaki followed Hideo's arrangement and left Kanto, Ishida Mitsunari was naturally elected by the joint meeting as the new pen to the Five Practice. As the first of the Five Practice, he gained a huge voice in internal affairs and his position in the center was further consolidated.
Compared with the five elders' rivalry, the five masters are relatively "unity" within the five masters. Mitsunari Ishida, Nagamori Masato, and Masato Nagashu family have close relationships from beginning to end. Although Masato Nagashu family served Hideo in a short period of time, he has always been concerned about the duties he pursued. In addition, he did not receive the expected reuse and preferential treatment under Hideopo. Finally, at the invitation of Mitsunari Ishida, he broke away from the Yamato Toyotomi clan and entered the center with what he pursued, becoming a member of the "Iron Triangle".
Asano Nagamasa was appointed as the pen when Toyotomi Hideyoshi was alive, but as Mitsunashi Ishida's strength continued to grow, the Ozakasaki gradually declined in the center. He finally accepted Hideo's suggestion and went to the fiefdom of Ueno Kanto to take charge of Hideo Kanto and monitored the every move of Daemini such as Tokugawa Ieyasu. Asano Nagamasaki seemed relieved. He felt that as long as Hideo could take power, he would one day return to Osaka Castle and sit back to his due position.
Compared with the "alternative" aspect, Maeda Genie. Judging from recent performance, this powerful monk was neutral on the surface and even slightly leaned towards Ishida Mitsunari, but behind his back, Tokugawa Ieyasu's party members. At the meeting where he decided whether to send troops to Aizu, he voted in favor at Tokugawa Ieyasu's sign. In the end, it was a vote. Hideopo was forced to start the war against Uesugi Keikaku, and the nationwide war began. Now Tokugawa Ieyasu was defeated, Tokugawa Hidetachi died in battle, and Tokugawa's army was dismissed. This was beyond Maeda Genie's expectations. He had no time to think about the reasons for the defeat of Tokugawa's army, but he quickly thought of "remedial measures" and immediately moved closer to Ishida Mitsunari.
Since his relationship with the Tokugawa family was not exposed, Maeda Kyoshi successfully gained the trust of Ishida Sanjue, and Ishida Sanjue was also willing to accept his kindness. After all, once Maeda Kyoshi joins his camp, his position in the five-performing practices will be absolutely solid.
"After this battle, the Right Prefecture completely suppressed Tokugawa, Maori, and Uesugi. In addition, Ukita, Maeda, the two Danames of the Maeda, have completed control over the five elders. In this way, we must pay more attention to internal unity. I feel that... it is time to consider Asano Masashi's stay or stay. With him embedded among us, some of the affairs that are responsible will be difficult to perform, let alone to compete with the Right Prefecture." Matsuda Nagamori was very clear about the situation, but due to the conflict with Hideo before and Hideo's increasing vigilance, he unconsciously stood opposite Hideo.
Faced with Matsuda Nagamori's suggestion, Mitsunari Ishida frowned and remained silent. Instead, Masato Nagasu, who was sitting next to him, took the lead in expressing his opinion.
"Although he has long been no longer under the command of the Right Mansion, he is still quite familiar with the character of the Right Mansion. He is absolutely loyal to the Young Master and Mrs. Yone, and he also does his best to safeguard the authority of the Toyotomi clan. There is no need for you to deliberately show hostility to him. After all, he will return to Osaka soon, and it is not a wise move to oppose him at this time."
"The Right Mansion has made great achievements and is in the limelight. At this time, there is no benefit to having a feud with him. According to my opinion, the most urgent task is to consider how to win over all the names that are about to arrive in Osaka. One person in the Right Mansion cannot steal the limelight." Maeda Gen is always conservative, and challenging a strong enemy is never his option. He was originally a retainer of Oda Nobunaga. He followed Toyotomi Hideyoshi behind Honnoji. After Hideyoshi passed away, he secretly contacted Tokugawa Ieyasu. He always insisted on following the strong. Now Hideopo defeated the Tokugawa clan. Although it was beyond his expectations, it also made him afraid of Hideopo. Moreover, his eldest son Shigekatsu Maeda also participated in the garrison of Otung Yama Castle, which was a small achievement. Considering the comprehensive view, he was unwilling to confront Hideopo immediately.
Everyone expressed their thoughts. At this time, Ishida Sanchen slowly raised his head and said to the three people in the hall: "Compared with the inner palace and An Yizhong Nayan, I think that the loyalty of the Right Mansion to the Young Master is still trustworthy. However, believing does not mean that it can be entrusted. If the general situation is determined today, who can be sure that the ideas of the Right Mansion and the Right Mansion before the war are consistent? People will change, especially when the power is in control... The monk is right. What we have to do now is to try our best to win over the Daming of Shangluo this time, and we must never make the advantages of the Right Mansion further expand."
"If the Right Mansion is still loyal to the Young Master and the Zong family, we can help him and assist him; if the Right Mansion violates its oath to Taige, we must have the ability to oppose him and fight him. In this regard, the strength of us is not enough and we must get more support from Daming. I am unwilling to confront the Right Mansion, and it is not far from forming a clique for one's own selfish interests, but our own strength must be strengthened. Only in this way can we maintain the balance of the central government in the next days and avoid the Right Mansion monopolizing the power. This is very necessary for him and the Young Master."
