Reincarnation Life to Toyotomi Hideyoshi Beginning with the Adversity of the Successor of Tai Chi (formerly known as: The Dream of Tai Chi - Reincarnation War to Toyotomi Hideyoshi Beginning with Adversity)
Decided to be an umbrella to protect you... ♪ Strange home.
◇ ◇
Celebrating 11 years (1606) March 21-
I, Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Chihime, left Tokugawa Jiayang's mansion in Yoshijo, Kyo, before proceeding east on Hideyoyama Road. And it was before dusk that we arrived at the foot of Mount Sawa, our destination for this day.
I was looking forward to one thing along the way.
It's...
- It's just Sansei Ishida, famous as Sawayama Castle, can be seen in this eye!
That was it.
Sawayama Castle is said to be a mountain castle built on the main impulse called Sawayama, which connects Tokyo to Tokyo.
Mitsune, given the castle by Hideyoshi Taipei, consolidated his defenses by creating a heavenly shrine, which can be described as three layers or five layers, in order to make it a castle that is difficult to attack.
The spectacular view was so much so that people called it "the castle of Sawayama and the left-hand vicinity of Tsubaki, with two things that were nothing more than Jibu (about Sansei Ishida)."
And since the battle of Sekigahara, it became the castle of Uiyi Naoto, one of Tokugawa's Sitian kings, but from the year after its death in 1602, a new castle was to be built in a small high place called Hikone, which is just ahead of his eyes and nose with Mount Sawahara.
That was later Hikone Castle.
In fact, the completion of Hikone Castle is this year… i.e., Keio 11 years (1606), and in May, two months from now, the people of the Jiui family have decided to take over Sawayama Castle and move to Hikone Castle.
According to historical facts, then Sawayama Castle is to be destroyed by the Jiui family without a trace.
It is also said that there was a strong intention of the Iui family to "pull a bow on Lord Tokugawa, the castle of the great traitor under the heavens, and so on," which will be destroyed to the point that only a few remains will be left in future generations, but if before the completion of Hikone Castle, there should still be Sawayama Castle left.
Of course, there is also a relationship where stones from Sawayama Castle are used as part of the building materials of Hikone Castle, and even at this time many of its castles will have been destroyed.
Nevertheless, the Temple of Heaven, the castle of the Lord, should exist, and I thought it would be my last chance to see what the "castle that is but Sang-seong" was like.
- Temple of Sawayama Castle in the sunset... I just can't wait to imagine...
I wasn't looking forward to seeing Sawayama Castle that way.
There was a voice calling out about me as my chest heartbeat soared so that I couldn't contain my excitement.
"Lord Hideyoshi! I can see it!
It was Chongchang Itakura, one of the people Jiayang Tokugawa sent me as my offering, and the second son of Katsushi Itakura of Kyoto. Unlike his honest and cautious brother, Shiyama, he smiled and spoke to me with a light personality.
I gazed in the direction he pointed at the words of Chongchang. But I do see small, tall mountains, but I don't see any castle-like buildings.
Rather, a splendid temple of heaven is coming into view on the left hand side of its fingertips, but you are, needless to say, Hikone Castle during its construction. It was less noticeable.
I looked down and asked Chongchang.
"Mmmm!? I don't see anything, but where is the castle!?
Chong-chang said that to me in a light way.
"What are you talking about?
Haven't the temples of Sawayama been demolished a long time ago?
We're talking about using the mansion at the foot of the mountain as a castle replacement. "
To that word...
I'm hardened...
"Nah... what the heck!!
Until then, my heartbeat turned to a scream filled with despair and focused on the pale sea... i.e., by Lake Biwa...
………
……
"Welcome aboard,"
It was Naoto Igui, the current head of the Igui family, who greeted us in such a gentle tone that the virtues of men were overflowing.
This Immediate Inui is a 26-year-old young man at this time.
As one of Tokugawa's four heavenly kings, a fierce general who was very active in diplomacy in warfare, and a man of Immediate Inui, he is a weak looking, colorful man. Still, the grand and splendid attitude in welcoming the guests was what it seemed worthy of being a samurai in Tokugawa Spectrum Bill.
"A polite welcome, thank you for your hard work"
And when Heavy Sect Itakura, who was leading me, thanked me in polite terms, he bowed his head deeply toward the direct succession.
I lowered my head gently so I could stick with it...
- I don't have Sawayama Castle... I don't have Sawayama Castle...
And it was such a shocking event, not here in the heart, that it was in the sky above.
But the moment I saw the next sight, I woke up surprised too clearly with those eyes.
That was when they put me through the main hall of the mansion. And the ministers of the House of Iui, and all the maids and servants, were gathered together as much as they could, and were aligned with the narrows of the house.
Moreover, the way it was aligned was neat without any difference in dimensions, and everything was unified, from its standing with each person's spine stretched out with a pin to a tight look.
And...
"To the Right Minister of Toyotomi and his line... together!! Courtesy!!!
Everyone bowed their heads to us the moment the thunderous Great Decree sounded in the room.
And until the angle of that bow, we all have it, so there will be no one in this world who will not lose his temper when he sees this sight…
Yes... it was like the "army" itself, as we call it in future generations...
As such a standing salute continued, when we were taken directly to the Lord's Inui and passed to the upper seat of that great hall, me and Chihime sat there.
As soon as we sit down, here comes another thunderous ordinance.
"together!! Fix it!!"
When everyone on the spot raised their heads to the words, they returned to their original upright immobile posture.
"Return to your duties! Together!! Go!!
At the moment when the decree was committed, when the decree was opened simultaneously, the people left the room in order, and only a few of the heavy ministers of the Iyi family remained on the spot.
Such heavy ministers also have a correct and stiff look on their posture as if they were fearful of something.
In it, when one apparently different atmosphere young man came to me and Chihime, he lowered his head with his hips down on the spot.
"Be the first to see you!!
My name is Naoto Iui!!
Best regards!!
That's exactly the same volume as the earlier decree. In other words, it was Naotaka Iui, the brother of Naotaki Iui, who had harshly raised up those in the house earlier. When I say brother, I am a half-brother, and the year of his birth is the same, that is, the same young man of twenty-six years as my brother.
In future generations, he is known both as the lord of the Hikone clan of Omi and as the archdeacon of the third generation General Tokugawa Jiakuo, the Great Political Involvement. He was the future heavy town of Edo Shogun, but at this time he still worked for Edo Castle as one of Hideyoshi Tokugawa's closest contacts.
But since the death of his father, Naoto Iui, he's been in Omi since he found time. As such, he welcomed us in the news that Hideyoshi Toyotomi would be visiting where he happened to be staying at Mount Sawayama the day before.
To say the opposite of my brother's direct succession, his skin is slightly burned in the sun that is getting stronger in spring, as you can see that he is full of young vitality and is often out there.
He has such a brave and strict personality that in future generations he will be known as the "Red Bull of Jiui" and "Night Fork Sweeper". Me and Chihime were so overwhelmed by the sight of the roll that one end of it caught a glimpse.
"Regards"
It was abundant to say.
………
……
The night we arrived in Sawayama, the welcoming of the Iyi family to us… the so-called response was held, but it was very different from the one I had imagined.
"Um... Hideyoshi... is a welcome feast such a quiet thing..."
And the scene was so quiet that a thousand princesses accidentally leaked it.
It's not like nobody ever talks.
The current chatter lover, Chongchang Itakura, etc., talks about the events in Pepe and Kyo to our Lord's Inui successor, and the people of the Inui family also enjoy eating for themselves.
But no one's ever stood up and danced or sang out or anything floating around.
In this way, it doesn't feel like a banquet at all.
It should be, too, and Naoto Iyi is looking hard inside the hall where the feast is open.
It was only natural that we should not all shrink and "drink or sing" because of course we had a sharp gaze at all the heavy ministers of the Iyi family participating in the feast, even at the samurai and the nearest maids who catered.
Of course there is no popular woman kabuki or other pastime in the alley, pale time passes.
"You're kind of a 'ghost' looking guy..."
And Princess Kofi, who approached me, said in a whisper that I and Princess Thousand could hear.
Of course, what she is referring to is Naoto Iui, who has always left a wrinkle between her eyebrows.
"Yes... it's like Lord Kofi in the auditorium..."
And I leaked without thinking.
To the words, Princess Kofi, with her blues all over her forehead,
"Lord Hideyoshi... let's train him harder when he returns to Osaka Castle... remember"
And he whispered in a low doss of dominant voice...
And...
Not excited enough to say at all, yet the everyday evening response ended…
As the people in the house of the Jiui family left the place in a disciplined and orderly manner, in the course of that flow, our direct succession to Jiui
"Well, I'm sure you'll be tired from your journey tonight, so I'll show you to your bedroom as soon as I can,"
And because he urged us to leave, it was not long after sundown, but without disputing, we decided to move to the bedroom.
Thus he said, "There is no Castle of Sawayama!" A day spent at the Jiui family, which began with dismay at knowing the shocking fact, marked the end with all the mysterious phenomena in mind: experiencing people in homes like the military and feasts that were not at all exciting.
The next day...
When I woke up some time before nightfall because I fell asleep earlier than usual, I decided to go down from my bedroom to the courtyard for the morning archery.
It should be noted that the wooden knife to make a bare gesture is also carried on this journey, and I started swinging it.
I wave my sword indifferently toward the sun with a slight glance at my face.
The refreshing air made me feel good and I always sent a full morning audition time.
It's strange because my body feels lighter when I do it because I didn't eat or drink extra at yesterday's banquet, and I didn't even drink at night.
I look back on yesterday, including the feast.
"But... that's kind of a strange home..."
I blurted out the words in my head.
… and it was then.
"Was there anything you didn't like about it?
And I heard a familiar voice from behind me.
When I hurry back, I turn my gaze toward the owner of the voice.
There...
Yesterday, there was a figure of Naoto Iui, who was severely binding the people in the house with a face like a night fork.
I blued my face.
"Yay! Excuse me for this!
There was nothing else you didn't like, so don't worry!
And I excused myself in a hurry.
To me like that, Naoki-san, who struck me differently from yesterday and gave me a calm look, said in a gentle voice with that expression.
"I'm relieved to hear that."
It seems unthinkable from what happened yesterday, to his atmosphere right now, that I am "not someone else!? I suspect," I rub my eyes unexpectedly. Naoki smiled at me like that.
"Ha! Apparently, you're wondering how it is!
And he said it in my heart.
"No... no wonder.
I can't help but think of how Naoki-san looked yesterday... "
I let out some vigilance with his smile and honestly exposed my mind.
Naoki-san said that to me,
"We have a little time until morning.
Could you hang out for a little walk that far?
and asked sneerily.
When I smiled too, I nodded silently.
This is how our morning walk began.
This will bring me another new joy and discovery...
