Time flies, and four years have passed in a flash. Japan gradually got rid of the haze of war under the governance of Hideo, and society has gradually gotten back on track. What is commendable is that the shogun, who had 5.38 million shi, was still respectful to the Toyotomi family, who only owned Yama Castle, Hanoi, Waizumi, and millions of Shishi, and met with each other in the four countries. The courtesy of the ministers has never slacked off, which made Hitomi and Hidela much more relieved.

Over the past four years, some powerful daimyos and military generals have passed away one after another. From Yuki Hideyashi to Asano Nagamasa, from Hosokawa Fujitaka to Tadao Honta, people all sigh that the times have changed, a new era of stability in the world, prosperity in the people, and far away from war is quietly coming.

During this period, Hideo continued to strengthen its ties with daimyos in various places, especially through marriage, gradually included daimyos in his own control. For example, he married his eldest daughter Taotao to Tadao of Yukihiko's son Yuki Tadao (535,000 shi of Mito), and gave him adopted daughter, Nasushi Yoshiyos' eldest daughter, Utsumiyamiya Yoshitsune (250,000 shi of Utsumiyamiya), and gave him adopted daughter, and gave him daimyos' eldest daughter Fukushima Takayos' eldest daughter, Kyoko Tadao (280,000 shi of Haeko's saint), so as to gradually enhance the loyalty of Daimyos's saint and consolidate and maintain the authority of the shogunate.

Although it was calm, there was one thing that I had to mention. In August of the 12th year of Keicho (1607), Toyotomi Hidera, who was over 14 years old, was officially promoted to two internal ministers. However, his eye disease was never cured and his temperament became more violent and domineering, so that on several occasions, even Hitomi almost got injured by him, let alone countless servants who died under his knife. Most of the people called him the "Killing Inner Mansion". Compared with the "Killing Inner Mansion" of Toyotomi Hideji back then, his actions made the authority of the Toyotomi family faced doubts from the outside world. Hideopo sent people to advise him many times, and even went to persuade him personally, but it was difficult to achieve results. Hitomi saw it in his eyes and summoned Mizunari Ishida many times, but it was very effective. He could only urge Hitomi to look for famous doctors to treat Hitomi's eye disease as much as possible.

In October, Oda Hidenobu died of illness, and a riot occurred in his family. The eldest son assassinated the second son of his son. The evil deed was reported by his retainer Hideopo. Hideopo was furious and changed the Gifu Oda family. The retainer who had meritoriously accepted Hideopo's command. The eldest son was executed and the territory was included in the Tibet.

When Toyotomi Hideyoshi was fourteen years old, after discussion, Hideomoto decided to enfeoff the four sons except the legitimate son Toyotomi Hideman. Among them, Toyotomi Hideyoshi (the eldest son, Komahito) inherited 360,000 shi of Nishinoe and lived in Sakamoto, known in history as the "Sakamoto Void"; Toyotomi Hideyoshi (third son, Sakurahito) inherited 357,000 shi of Ise in Sakamoto, and lived in Sakamoto, known in history as the "Tsubasa"; Toyotomi Hideyoshi (the fourth son, Aemoto) inherited Qi

Fu, Iwamura, lived in Gifu, and was known in history as the "Gifu vassal"; Toyotomi Hideto (five sons, Kikuhime) inherited Minami Musashi's 330,000 stones and lived in Edo, and was known in history as the "Edo vassal". At this point, Hideobo's direct leadership was reduced to 4 million stones, but the fourth son was still young, and his fief was still managed by Hideobo. The newly born child of Kikutoko Sideomori was not granted due to his youth (some say that Hideobo originally intended to let him take the route of a minister).

In December of that year, Xiubao, who was only 28 years old, was successfully promoted from a minister of Taizheng, and officially reached the peak of the public and Wu family. Xiulai followed him and was promoted to the right minister, and his official position was still from the second. Judging from this arrangement, it was obvious that Guan Bai would return to the Toyotomi clan family in a short time. In this regard, Hitomi and a group of old ministers were deeply relieved, and she sighed that Xiubao did not forget the Taige and did not forget the responsibility of being Xiulai as the queen. Although the official career was smooth and the inside and outside were harmonious, Xiulai's condition never improved. He was blind, not to mention dealing with government affairs, but even his daily life required the whole process of attendants. Therefore, his personality became increasingly manic and violent. He often carried a knife and waved his sword. Even the envoy sent by the court was almost injured by him. Hitomi immediately rushed to the scene to dissuade him, but he never thought that Xiulai was injured by his arm.

Hearing that Hiroki was injured, Hideo rushed to Osaka with a quick horse. It was already late at night when he entered the city. Hideoki went straight outside of Hiroki's dormitory to ask for a visit. When he entered the dormitory, he saw Hiroki lying on the couch in plain clothes, pale face, and the bandage bandaged on his right forearm was particularly eye-catching. Hideoki knelt beside Hiroki with his head hanging down, without saying a word, and the dim candlelight shone on his face, with a strange expression. When Hideoki heard Hiroki come in, he tilted his head and looked down.

"Your Highness, you are here." Daiji half-supported her body with difficulty, leaned on the couch, and squeezed a smile on her face.

Xiubao nodded and asked the maid next to him with concern: "How is the madam's injury? Is it important?"

After receiving the "no major problem", he breathed a sigh of relief, and instead asked Xiulai with resentment: "Young Master is really not worthy of this."

"I didn't do it on purpose, and my mother has forgiven me, so why should you be aggressive?" Xiu Lai retorted with an unhappy look.

Hidebo had long understood the increasingly unbearable character of Hidebo, but due to the relationship, he did not dare to talk to him like this before. Now he is the right minister and should have restrained his words and deeds more, but he did not expect that his attitude was still arrogant and rude. In his anger, he finally scolded: "Young master is so self-reflective and willful and naughty. Do you really want people all over the world to see Toyotomi's jokes?"

"A joke about Toyotomi?" Xiulai was startled at first, then sneered: "I am a blind man, sitting in this position is a joke in itself? From ancient times to the present, have there been blind men who are the world?"

Hearing Xiu Lai say this, Xiu Bao feels a little pity again: "Young Master must not say this. This position of the people in the world is left to you by Taige. It is yours and no one can take it away. I just hope that the young master can calm down and take care of his body. There are many famous doctors in the world, and it is not impossible to restore his eyes to brighten. I am preparing to travel to the Ming Kingdom in the west during this period. At that time, I can find a famous doctor to treat His Highness."

"Your Highness has troubled you." Xiu Lai had long lost hope for the regaining of his eyes. He replied perfunctorily, then lowered his head and stopped talking.

Dianji was afraid that the two of them would have another dispute because they had another dispute, so she asked the maid to help Xiulai back to the room. Then, on the grounds that there was something important to discuss, she sent the servant away, leaving Xiubao alone in the dormitory.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi has passed away for nine years. These nine years are cruel to Hinata. She is silent in the hustle and bustle and longs for loneliness. Although she knows that she cannot do anything, Hideo is a kind of spiritual support and comfort to her, and sometimes it is even more important than Hideo Lai. She knows that Hideo will not respond to her, but she can never break her love. She always cherishes her very much, even if she just talks about a few words, she is very satisfied.
