Chapter 439 The letter from the seven ministers
On August 11, 1601, a bad news came from Junshan City - Zhiyun Hospital died of illness.
After Hideomoto took over the Yamato Toyotomi clan, he vigorously built two mountain castles of Kotomiyama and Otomiyama. After Hideyoshi's death, he moved the political center to Fushimi Castle. With the defense lines and water camps built around the three cities, he finally formed the "Three Capitals, Four Lines and Five Villages" pattern. At the same time, the model of Kotomiyama as the economic center, Otomiyama as the military center, and Fushimi as the political center was basically formed.
Although Hideopo has been in charge of Fumimi for a long time and it is more appropriate to take his family to Fumimi, Chiyunyuan was frightened when the Mori family invaded Kinki. In addition, after Toyotomi Hidenaga's death, he was weak and had to stay in bed for most of the time. At Kikuhime's suggestion, he chose to stay in Kotoyama to recuperate, and Kikuhime and Shiniko were accompanied and taken care of.
Unfortunately, meticulous care did not extend the lifespan of Chiyunyuan too much. Hideopo followed her last wish and buried her with Toyotomi Hidenaga, and worshipped her at the Toyoko Shrine in Kyoto, so that the couple, who were separated by yin and yang for ten years, could finally be reunited.
The national daimyo, the widow of Toyotomi Hideaki and the widow of Hideaki and the maintenance mother of Hideaki, all of whom paid great attention to the death of the Wu family, sent important officials to Fushimi Castle to pay tribute. For a time, Fushimi Castle was full of traffic and crowded people. At this time, Kuroshiki Kikuto, who was the Minister of the Taizong, was the brother of Hideopo's side room, and the King Danayan, was the minister of the Wu family. He was the emperor and the minister of the Wu family. He submitted a memorial to the court, asking Hideopo to be the left minister and his official rank was also promoted to one.
Although Kuriki Kikuto was a Tsinghua family, he was suppressed by the Kawakan family headed by the Kome family for a long time. He was depressed and was once unsuccessful and hovered as the right minister for many years. In the end, it was under the strong recommendation of Hideopo, who gradually rose to the top of the public. Although this had long become a false position, he was also proud. More importantly, he showed the world the support of Hideopo for the Tsinghua family, which made the Kawakan family dare not act rashly.
Jiuwo Duntong and Juting Qingji are both among the top seven Tsinghua schools. Following up with Qingji this time reflects the unity within the Tsinghua family, and on the other hand, it shows his attitude towards Xiubao. After all, he was standing on the side of Gaotaiyuan before. Why not do this now if he has such a good opportunity?
Therefore, the famous ministers who had just finished mourning the Chiyun Courtyard had not set off, but rushed to Xiubao Mansion again to congratulate him on his promotion.
Being the left minister means that he is only one step away from Guan Bai's position. In addition, Guan Bai's Kyujo Kazuo is just a puppet built by Hideo. He can be kicked away at any time at the mercy of Hideo. Some people say that this is clearing obstacles and paving the way for Hideo to succeed Kwan Bai, but Ishida Mizunari, who is in the lower office, is full of worries: "Is this for Hideo or for himself?"
The sixth year of Kei Chang seemed to be an unstable year. Not long after the death of Chiyunyuan, Izumo, and Izumo, who was 320,000 Shizhizhi in the two countries, also died of illness. Because he had no children and as the son of the Kinoshita family, the nephew of Takatayuan Ningning was warned by Hideopo. In addition, the performance of the first rat at both ends in the Battle of Aizu made Hideopo decide to include his fiefdom in the hiding place and appointed his nearby acting officials to manage it. Most of the retainers of the Kobayagawa clan were well placed, and many of them even directly entered Hideopo.
On November 12, the Maeda Taki family, who had been ill for a long time, did not survive the cold winter of that year. They died at the age of 63 in Yashiki, located in Fushimi. Hideopo was so heartbroken that he begged the court to give the two ministers of the inner court to show respect, and personally escorted their bodies back to Kanazawa. This move really moved the Maeda and other old ministers of Toyotomi.
In a blink of an eye, it was midsummer of the seventh year of Keicho (1602). Mizuna Ishida, who had been away from Kinki for more than a year, basically handled the affairs of the general manager. As Toyotomi Hiderai's birthday approached, he intended to ask Hideo to ask Hideo to go to Osaka to celebrate his birthday.
Daming applied to Luo to meet the Toyotomi family, which was within the scope of the authority of the Onijiji. As Toyotomi Hidera, Kataki Naomoto, who was the tutor of the Onijiji, was of course the judge of the Onijijiji. Of course, he hoped that Ishida Mitsunari would come to Luo as soon as possible to give advice to Yodohime and his son. But this matter was not finalized by the Onijiji family. He also wanted to convey the matter to Hidebo through the memorial to Cao, and Hidebo would decide to take it.
The current report of Cao Cao is the Nagashu Masato family. Although Jiu Cao is working for Hideopo, he has been the same as Mitsunari Ishida before. In the end, the Nagashu Masato family did not detain or reject Ishida Sansei's application, but submitted it to Hideopo for final victory.
Hideobomoto wanted to agree to Mizuna Ishida's application and asked him to lead a few retainers to Osaka to celebrate his birthday, but at this time things changed. I don't know whether it was Kataki Kazumoto or Mizuna Ishida's supporters, or whether it was deliberately spreading rumors or unintentionally, there were rumors that Mizuna Ishida was about to join Luo in and outside Osaka Castle. What's more, it was rumored that he would replace Maeda Tamasato, who was still mourning in Kanazawa, as the position of Minister of the Maeda Minister, and re-in charge of Osaka and continue to serve the Toyotomi So family.
In view of this, after consulting the opinions of Takao Fujido and others, Hideopo decided that someone had created chaos in the matter to coerce Hideopo to allow Mitsunari Ishida to allow Mitsunari Ishida to create conditions for keeping him in Osaka. In the end, Hideopo politely declined Mitsunari Ishida’s request on the grounds that Kanto’s journey was long and only Hideaki Yuki was required to represent Mitsunari Kanto Daming.
When I learned about this, Mitsunari Ishida was really surprised. In addition, Kataki Kataki kept sending him the message that Hideo had suppressed the Toyotomi family in Gyeonggi, and finally couldn't help but feel dissatisfied. On the one hand, Kataki Kataki Kataki spread rumors of slandering Hideo in Osaka to spread rumors, and on the other hand, he sent a letter to the old ministers of Osaka scattered from all over the country, hoping to take this opportunity to jointly put pressure on Hideo in order to return to Osaka.
On the third day of September, one of the top five people, Matsuda Nagamori, Matsuura Hideri, Sumizuki, Jun Soho, Ito Jamyuki and other six people, joined forces with Mizuna Ishida to write a letter to Hideopo, hoping that Hideopo would explain the rumor that is currently rumored and once again swear allegiance to Hideopo in front of the world's daimyo. This incident was called "Seven Ministers' Letters" in the later funeral.
Faced with the aggressiveness of the old minister of Osaka, Hideo felt that his current identity was truly embarrassing: Yu Toyotomi was undoubtedly apart. With the fact that the Zong family was still there and the authority was still there, even if he was powerful now and was destined to live in (nominally) for a long time, Hideo was not uncomfortable, but the rumors and slander of the old ministers made him unbearable - even if he swore allegiance this time, could they trust themselves?
More importantly, if you bow your head this time, the prestige you have established will be wiped out. With this precedent, there may be "Ten Ministers" and "Hundred Ministers" next. Daming, who was suppressed after the war, will also take the opportunity to provoke internal relations of Toyotomi. Once the conflicts are irreconcilable and the wars are facing each other, it will definitely give those ambitious people an opportunity to take advantage of. In this way, the end of Toyotomi will not be far away.
