◇ ◇
A year before Hideyoshi Toyotomi won a swordsmanship battle with Princess Kofi...
Namely, in late April of the Celebration Decade (1605).
In that month, Hideyoshi Tokugawa was entrusted to General Toya and has just become a new general.
Hideyoshi, along with his neighbor Tadashi Okubo and his loyal parents and sons, cemented the foundations of the regime in Edo, while Jiayang Tokugawa, who resigned from his general position and became known as the "Great Lord", remained in charge of diplomacy with each great name and exotic country.
Honda Masayoshi and genuine parents and children around this time are not in Edo, but are on the side of Fushimi's family affairs.
His son's purity was as an assistant to Jiayang, while his father's purity assumed the role of coordinator between Fushimi and Edo.
And on this day, in a tea room with Fushimi, Tokugawa Jiayang, Honta Genuine, and Honta Masayoshi were sharing tea together.
"Phew... when some shoulder load comes down, I feel old all at once"
It was Tokugawa Jiayang who leaked these words. With a grumpy body, he sighed heavily as he was cat-backed.
He is already over sixty years old, his head is completely white stained, and his face is engraved with a number of deep wrinkles.
If we only looked at that figure, everyone would agree to the words of Jiayang earlier, shaking their necks vertically.
But when I saw such a family well-being, Honda Masayoshi, who also looked completely old, raised his voice to surprise.
"Ooh! Tsuru Chiyomaru (at the later Tokugawa Mansion, eleven men of Jiayang) was just born two years ago, so I was still wondering if it was a vigorous stunt, was that a mistake!?
In such a word of honesty, Jiayang blushed and stared at his honesty.
"Hmm! If your Lord can also slap that slap, it doesn't mean you can still work as well as the younger ones!
"Yay! I apologize for this. If that's the case, only the mouth is master, but the body won't listen to anything, so please give me a break."
"Hmm! Because even if you say so, your lord still has to work for you! Be prepared!
"Oh man... this is what you deserve..."
Honta Masayoshi said so and tightened his mouth not to say anything unnecessary to soak up the sweat on his forehead.
But this sarcasm of honesty was evident to everyone's eyes that it was a concern to make the air on this occasion a little brighter, and Jiayang closed his mouth again, without any particular recourse.
Then silence lasts for a while...
It's cheerful to feel the early summer outside, and the little birds chirping sounds like a lullaby to drowsiness.
The three of them had never uttered a word and were quietly spending their time in a small room that blocked the outside world.
It was genuine of Honta to break such silence.
"Great Lord, by the way. I thought it meant something to be called to a place where no one would see me today and no one would have to worry about me asking..."
With his usual clear face, purity reflects his gaze from the tea bowl to Jiayang.
Its serene tone, though it makes you feel the freshness of a spring day, also seems to hold in its depths his essence, the ruthlessness, and whoever hears that voice for the first time will feel something unspeakable and disgusting.
But if you try to keep him healthy, you've heard so much about him that you're tired of hearing about his tone and so on, it's not enough to keep you in mind.
"Hmm! Parents and kids are turning around! Are you honestly asking, 'What can I do for you today'?
"Heh heh, if that's what you're ordered to hear, that's what I'd say..."
"Hmm! That's better now."
Jia Kang slipped away from his face, cutting off his words and shutting up.
But I understood again and again that it was never because I bent my navel to the pure word, the honesty and the purity of being here.
Jiayang is trying to say something...
I can't make that decision...
Sensing the condition, Honesty asked Jia Hao with much more effort in his belly when he inhaled heavily.
"Do you mean Hideyoshi's successor...?
To the word of honesty, Jia Yang gently blued his face and stared at the man of honesty.
Purity remains a clear face, but moves the eyebrows tingly.
Successor of Hideyoshi Tokugawa...
The other day, Hideyoshi had just taken up the position of general on behalf of Jiayang.
Nonetheless, as soon as possible, Jiayang asked if he cared about Hideyoshi's next general.
What is its sincerity...
But Jia Kang told her to hide her heart.
"Why should I care about Hideyoshi's successor?!?
That's his problem.
It's up to him to decide!
That tone is up and I can clearly feel the upset.
Both honesty and purity intuited that in that reaction of Jiayang, it was the figure star that called out about the question of honesty. And they both had a slightly troubled look at Jia Kang, who shook their heads beside each other in a strong manner.
"My lord. Isn't the Great Place the only place to go around?
Without extrapolating how Jiayang felt or anything, Jiayang inquired about the deviation, and Jiayang chewed his right thumbnail in a grumpy manner.
And honesty told him to speak for his feelings.
"Your Highness would like Chiyo Takeshi to succeed him as a general."
Chiyo Takeshi...
It was about Tokugawa Jiakuo, the son of Tokugawa Hideyoshi, who was only born last year, that is, in Kyung 9 (1604).
It was usually Jiayang, who rarely moved from Fushimi, but seemed delighted enough to deliberately take her to Edo for the birth of the Takechiyo, who should be the son of the Tokugawa family.
In fact, in the sixth year of Keio (1601), a brother of Takechiyo, namely a child named Changmaru, the eldest son of Hideyoshi, was born, but he had already died at this time.
With such tragedies, Jiayang's thoughts on the Bamboo Chiyo and how to pour out his affection were unusual.
It was the desire, so to speak, that came from the drowning of Jiayang, that he should be given the position of general only to carry on the trail of Hideyoshi in that Bamboo Chiyo.
The purity of staring at Jiayang, who didn't even try to answer the question of honesty, dared to ask what he understood about his father's honesty.
"I remember how long you thought that at that dawn, when Lord Toyotomi Hideyoshi grew splendidly, you would cede your general position to Lord Hideyoshi... but would that still be the same?
Jiayang bites his right thumbnail again.
Obviously I seem to remember being in pure language.
Of course, we all knew that, but honesty answered my son's question by pretending to be unfamiliar.
"I guess that still hasn't changed. He hates being so crooked and walking straight down our path.
Even if the Great Sovereign speaks of his successor, he says, "There is a different story about the Tokugawa family's succession and the succession to the general position."
- Gilli...!
In the moment of the word of honesty, Jiayang clenched his teeth hard.
And on its forehead stands a blue muscle.
But the content of this exchange between honesty and authenticity was precisely a reference to Hideyoshi's character, and no matter how long Jia Kang learned to stay in his chest, he had no place to bump into.
The way it looked was pure, in a pale tone with a clear face that cut off the conversation.
"So... if Hideyoshi Toyotomi wants the position of general... his successor will be Chiyo Takeshi..."
Jiayang's complexion changed again.
That's such a complicated look that I'm confused by my feelings.
Zhengxin uttered the following words before Jiayang uttered anything, without getting a haircut.
"That's what's going to happen.
But Hideyoshi doesn't want a general position of his own… i.e. rejecting the Toyotomi family's heavens, etc. … Is it possible?
To the words that his father contained, purity raised the corner of his mouth.
The expression was as ugly as it reflected his cruelty, which Jia Hao did not like.
But still, Jia Hang didn't say anything. No, his drowning love for the Bamboo Chiyo did not pinch his mouth.
Otomo, say Tokugawa Ieyasu...
Son of man...
The desire to "leave you with everything you have" to your grandson, who made you give him the same name as you did at an early age, had swelled up to something that was no longer pleasant.
That may have been something close to the late Hideyoshi Tai, who was awarded a favor after losing his long-awaited eldest son named Tsurumaru.
Fortunately for Jia Kang, however, there would have been support that could be described as the dedication of the surrounding human beings who stood in the way of falling into the authoritarian ugly desire from drowning, out of a beautiful desire that reflected the love of thinking of my grandchildren.
It was Hideyoshi Tokugawa, a strong man who would not bend his will from anyone's intimidation, or a genuine Honda being who would rather rejoice in dyeing his own hands into dirt, and Honda, a good understanding man of family health at all times and continued to support his back.
At this time, he was furiously praising Hondo's genuine ugly and distorted smile if it was his previous home health, but at this time, he was so sorry that he was about to get his chest torn open that it was likely to create a joyful exhilaration.
I said purely in an understated voice, knowing that there was no one around me, whether or not I knew about such a family affliction.
"In recent times, it seems that Yodo has invited the people on whom Yodo himself relies to Osaka Castle for the safety of Toyotomi's Yasutai and Hideyoshi."
Honesty also discerns the meaning of such a son's distorted smile, etc.
But nevertheless, in order to fulfill the memorial of Jiayang, he also asked purely with his heart turned into a ghost.
"Well... how was that?
"Hehe, your father is a bad person, too. You will already understand. What kind of people are those invited..."
"The relatives of the starling temple..."
"And these days, Lord Ozo, the mother of Governor Ohno, has been told a lot of things."
Jiayang, who had listened so far in silence to the exchange of purity and honesty, finally opened its heavy mouth.
"Come to a conclusion, pure. What does the Lord think?"
Pure to its sharp Jia Kang words, he turned off his grin and replied with a sharpened blade-like look.
"Let us ask Hideyoshi Toyotomi to thank the Tokugawa family for their servants.
If you do, you will not give up your general position to those who have been assigned it… "
That genuine word must have been in the corner of the head for all three of us before we entered this room.
But he could not help but speak of the deed, which might be regarded as an adversary of the heavens, of letting Hideyoshi Toyotomi thank his subordinates.
Still, purity uttered it because it was nothing more than that he was happy to buy that dirty man out.
Yes...
The man named Honta Genuine is the owner of a hunting preference for obtaining unmatched joy in falling in.
And Tokugawa Jiayang...
I used it and asked for it.
To satisfy my affection...
Honda Masayoshi, who prides himself on understanding such a household health thing more than anyone else, knew that the painful breasts of the family health were in his hands.
A man named Tokugawa Jiayang cares more about "sum" than anything else.
For that reason, I have hated being off the road more than anything.
I have thought that the whereabouts of heaven should be entrusted to humans with the power to create only a peaceful world.
That's now...
I don't even know if I was born and have that power, but I can't help but want to entrust that heaven to my lovely, helpless grandson.
To the grip of this Jiayang's heart, Masayoshi had sworn that he was on his side, no matter what, and with absolute loyalty, to support his heart.
When Jiayang's mouth closed firmly again, he asked purely so that Honesty could speak for him.
"What do you think the Lord should do for it?
"We hope that your opinion within Osaka Castle will be 'Don't thank Tokugawa for his servants', so why don't you tune in to Osaka Castle?"
The genuine expression remains unchanged.
A totally temperatureless, cold, and ruthless look.
When I give this look, I know both Jiayang and Honesty that there will always be one or two people disappearing from his surroundings.
But still, I dare to set him free.
Jiayang asked purely with his own mouth, trying to suppress the integrity of trying to open his mouth even on his own behalf.
"Who exactly do you abbreviate?
"The outline of the temple's request… i.e.…"
So cut the words. Pure.
And the next moment, when I had a distorted grin again, I answered with cloudy eyes.
"i.e.... Oda... and Sir Ozo...
Most of all, Sir Ozo seems to have already been moved by the director of Tea Bureau... "
and…
………
……
After Honta-jin left the tea room to carry out his proposed assignment, Tokugawa Jiayang and Honta-jin stayed in the small room and rinsed the tea in the slightly reduced tea bowl.
A heavy silence dominates the room for a while.
In the meantime, Jiayang opened his mouth first.
"I'm sorry... I let the Lord's Son carry a difficult role..."
Rounding his back, Jiayang said in good faith, leaving his gaze in the tea bowl.
Seeing as how such a family member is doing, Honesty relieves him for some reason and loosens his mouth.
"My lord is old..."
"So tell me you're old."
"But now the lord seems to have become somewhat of a 'man', and that reassures me for some reason"
"What do you mean? I will be a 'man' from birth."
"Ho, that's true. You were a" person "who loved his stomach and kids."
"Hmm! Another extra thing..."
And somewhere Jiayang also wants to hate me, like I lost my shoulder strength.
And the next moment, Jiayang bowed his head to honesty.
"Thank you. Keep up the good work of being a 'man'."
This is Tokugawa Jiayang.
This is not the first time for honesty that the sight of bowing its head against a minister with a serious look, albeit somewhere blurry.
When you make some big decisions, look at that you've always shown.
- Was the lord a 'man' from the beginning...
And, honesty reflected a little on what he had put into words himself.
And he bowed his head again and said,
"I would like to continue to do all I can for the Tokugawa family in the light of my strength."
Jiayang finally realized that the spring sunshine was inside the room.
He managed to contain what was getting hot in the back of his nose and drank the rest of the tea at once.
