Maori Zhongguo Huiyuan has lived a life where the expression "like a doll" fits perfectly since he was a little girl.
The life, without attacking others, also formed his character, which was always apparent. It was so called "good character" by foreign generals.
Let's just say the reason why he has lived such a life was because his surroundings were only rare.
Yoshikawa Motochun and Ryukyu Koyakawa, who had a rare hero named Maori Motochun in their grandfather and entrusted such a hero with his hindsight. And Maori Ryumoto, my father, who died suddenly in a hero's vessel...
From the bright side, they were all stars in a dazzling, untouchable sky.
Furthermore, he has been subjected to what can also be described as being too harsh from his adoptive father, Ryukyu Oyakawa, since childhood. In childhood, the fear became profound and engraved in his heart, and only when he began to think, "If we go about things as we say around us, everything will work out," he became trapped in his shell.
But when time flows, Yoshikawa Motochun, who has served as a platform for the request, and "both rivers" of Ryukyu Oyakawa, disappear successively, the situation placed on him changes dramatically. Ironically, it became a force that pushed him more onto the surface stage, both politically and militarily.
He was very confused.
There is no tall stone wall called "Both Rivers" that surrounds him. For he had to confront the times and the great names of Tokugawa and his own forces.
But he didn't change.
If he was over 40 years old, would it not be possible to change so… he continued to be thorough about being a "doll" who did not make his own decisions.
That leads to the fact that even the biggest moves in this history have been surrounded by the "General" on the one hand, but remain in office on the other.
He's in a great hurry right now.
Kiyoshi Kato and Rushui Kuroda's Fast Forward, Yoshiyuki Otomo's Change of Heart...
Everything is a far cry from the "stories" that the humans around him explained to me, but although they shed some shadow on his mind, they did not reach the point of "acting".
However, the situation progresses to the worse, and at last develops to a situation that shakes his heart tremendously.
It was that Kuroda and Kato were approaching his castle, Hiroshima Castle.
Regardless, he was in the western circle of Osaka Castle at this time, and in the unlikely event that Hiroshima Castle fell, there would be no crisis over him.
However, he was greatly afraid that Hiroshima Castle would become a sea of fire.
It's...
For there was a beloved wife, the one called "Lord Ernomaru".
The only thing in his life that Huiyuan has done with his will and emotions that he has continued to play without suffering to be a "doll"...
That was the marriage to Lord Ernamaru, the side chamber.
It was at first sight in a fateful encounter with her that she robbed her of whom she had decided to marry others.
Because of that incident, many humans were terminated under "mouth sealing" by their adoptive father, Ryukyu Oyakawa.
On the surface it would appear to have been an act of enthusiastic and blind love for her.
That could have been so clumsy, so forceful and helpless.
It could have been a stupid act, not looking at her or the feelings around her, etc.
Certainly one aspect of it was his own consciousness.
On the other hand, however, it was much more engraved in his heart that he showed with his own hands the proof that he was not a "doll".
That is, for him, marrying her was the symbolic event that showed that he was "human".
That's why I don't regret it.
And...
Lord Niumaru also accepted his love and "man".
So only before her could she abandon herself, the "doll" and return to the "human".
That must have been an irreplaceable time for him.
And it was only when it was to be held in his arms in the form of the love of "two children". (Note that there are two children as of 1600, but they will be given another in 1602)
There's a threat looming before her like that...
For him, that meant a "place to return" crisis.
Being a "doll," he was going to decide on opportunism until the end of the war, as tough as he reached from the Hiroshi Yoshikawa family, who is a direct minister and younger, "If you can't be on your side with the inner palace, at least don't step out of Osaka Castle". But being a "human," he doesn't try to forgive it.
The greatest of the "dolls" and "humans" were played out here among Huiyuan.
But in his heart there was not a thing better than the love of the Two Rounds.
And he decides.
"Hurry and reconcile with Tokugawa Jiayang"
That meant he was the first general to break the "doll" shell.
And after I had to make up my mind about it, I felt so refreshed.
He calls the fried and nearby, and instructs one man to be called to this occasion.
And I've been feeling refreshed by myself for a while...
The moment the man who called came into the room, one emotion suddenly covered his heart like a doorway cloud that produced heavy summer rain.
The identity was "fear".
I'm so scared.
I don't know why I have to look at myself like this...
When you try to make a decision about something human, a weak bug bursts out.
That was nothing more than a pain in itself if you try to be Huiyuan, who has never made a decision before.
Shall we still stop...
That's how the frustrating option turns my head.
But there, the loving smile of Lord Ernamaru crosses his head.
Oh... what a brave person I am
Only in front of Lord Niumaru… I want to be a strong person only when I think about her.
Yes, he wishes with his heart.
And it was uttered half unconsciously.
"I want to see Lord Hideyoshi, take care of him"
The opponent of that word is Kiryu and Yuan. He is now an elder who divides all of Osaka Castle. Through him, I wanted a glimpse with Hideyoshi.
"Yes, I did. Ask the starling temple to take you in the meantime. Even if he stays with you, take him to Honmaru immediately."
And the original listens to Huiyuan's request with the seriousness of the usual face, and gives appropriate instructions thereon.
Lightly bowed his head to that instruction, Huiyuan was
"Aye, okay."
And he answered instantly and raised his hips.
I understood that Huiyuan, who is always famous for his heavy hips, is moving surprisingly agile, and that Yuan's reason for wanting to meet Hideyoshi was serious.
Then, in order to respond to such a feeling of brilliance, he immediately followed the west circle and hurried to the back of the temple.
