Celebration 11 (1606) September 16th -
Zhonghui Matsuhei, lord of Nakajima, Shinshu Kunigawa, who was invited to respond by Hideyoshi Toyotomi at the previous Hideyoshi Osaka Castle, received a response from Hideyokang Nobujo, his real brother at Fushimi. It should be noted that Hideyoshi Toyotomi did not participate in the response, but returned to Osaka Castle after sending Zhonghui to Echimae Mansion, where Old Oda Dogsai would participate as his nominee.
The response was exuberant, and the brothers of Hidekang Nobushiro and Chung-hye Matsuhei, who did not have much opportunity to face each other, say they were able to solve it completely, albeit with as many age differences as their parents and children.
And what a shock to the public that Hidekang Noboru Noboru decided to be invited himself to the wedding of Chung-hye Matsuhei, scheduled for the end of this year, and Princess Goro Hachi, daughter of the Dada political sect.
- Now Tokugawa's world is more and more cheap... if the brothers are so friendly, there's a gap between them and the other houses.
and some see Tokugawa as having a "profit,"
- No, no, no! The deepening of the bond between the two neglected by the Great Place and the involvement of the Toyota family there has made the clouds somewhat suspicious!
and some saw it as "unfavourable" to Tokugawa.
And when October is the end, another thing begins to talk about in the city of Kyo.
It's...
- Apparently, unfamiliar stomachs and children are congregating out onto the hills
- Instead of Lord Hideyoshi buying a large quantity of blue potatoes and letting them do the job of turning it into a jacket on Osaka, they're giving it food and clothing.
That's what I meant.
At the same time, Toyotomi Hideyoshi began to invite textile artisans from all over the country. This is so that we can start developing new weaving machines by letting the people who have come together to make textiles and by collaborating with them and academics at the university.
Hideyoshi also decided to make the land stretching from the Fort of Long Residence to the port of Sakana-san, south of Osaka Castle, ready for people to live by gathering abrasive wanderers after the Battle of Sekigahara. When the service was entrusted to one of the reputed people, Governor Ono's younger brother, Gimuro Ono, people called Jimuro "the Red Ghost of Osaka" to fear, saying that anyone who tried to do evil would not even have come close to staying long. Thus, the absence of any worried disturbances in the wind discipline reassured the people in Kichi somewhat.
As the city was built, rumors spread throughout the country, from the Matsumae clan in the north to the Satsuma clan in the south in November, that not only women and children, but also men chased after the land for some reason, continued to gather from all over Japan for the Great Slope, so the people of Kyo lost their liver.
On this matter, however, it was not taken very well in Kyo at first. Because the people who come together, their clothes are mellow, and their bodies are full of mud, and yet they are only as lifeless as dead fish.
Everytime the people of Kyo saw them like that, they obviously turned a disgusting face.
And...
- I don't know about any horsebone, but gathering them in Kichinai is a denigration of Kyou's character.
It goes without saying that voices like that came naturally into my ears from here and there.
Fearing that Toyotomi's reputation would be involved as it is, Soyo Ishida embarked on "cleansing" people. In other words, when they first arrived on the hill, they were first given water after being questioned about their neighborhood. And when I was given brand new clothes, I was made to change on the spot. In addition, if you are a woman, let your hair and if you are a man, let your beard be done. Even if it just makes you look cleaner this way, humans are something to be positive about somewhere. People lived in discipline correctly, wrapped in refreshment, and put their energy into the development of the temple Buddha's Cabinet and the opening of the fields. Look at them like that,
- Any man is turned into a worker by the glory of Lord Hideyoshi!
And people began to think this, and when they saw the people gathered on Osaka, they ceased to be particularly despised.
Plus it is well received by the big names around the country.
If, of course, the peasants, the workers of the land, were to have emigrated, it was inevitable that the accusations would be concentrated on the Toyotomi, but they were not.
Because they were people who had no land of their own assigned by the Tai Chi District. Each daimyo can also be the source of a crime if they are left alone, saying that they will not be given land for special treatment.
And most importantly, I guess it was true that I was in trouble because my economic strength enough to take care of them was not at all due to the prevalence of the heavens that goes on these days.
In other words, sending them to Osaka indirectly led to financial aid for each great house of fame, so there was no one to take it badly.
Thus,
- Lord Toyotomi Hideyoshi is that young man, you're like a Buddha!
The reputation began to be heard even in the distant city of Edo.
In General Tokugawa's family on the other hand, he left this Toyotomi family's movements unattended, although carefully monitored, especially because it could not be a threat to the Shogun.
Rather, even if I wanted to get my hands on it, it would be the truth that I couldn't. Because they were fully energized by the move to "strengthen the Shogun", as Souyoshi Ishida had stepped on.
It was a shogun led castle, whose symbol is called the popularity of the heavens. Regardless, the national great names were assigned to its popularity, it goes without saying that it was precisely to strengthen the Shogun. It should be noted that even this eleven year celebration alone saw its completion in the main office with the temple guard of Nijo Castle in Kyou, the temple guard of Hirone Castle in Omi, and the Honmaru Palace in Edo Castle.
But they are all meant to consolidate defenses, and rather have a strong significance in demonstrating the prestige of General Tokugawa's family. It was an ostensible move, to say the least. On the other hand, the movement on the back also accelerated, focusing on Fushimi, the seat of the Great Place, rather than Edo, the home of General Tokugawa's family.
i.e.…
It is a strengthening of the military power of the Shogun.
In particular, Tokugawa Jiayang also had it as a source of concern about the procurement of iron cannons and nitric acid, which plagued Toyotomi Hideyoshi's head. And he decided to procure it from abroad. Around this time he had the British Miura needle as a diplomatic adviser to the exotic, and by his advice he also took an active part in the transaction.
And with regard to the procurement of nitric acid for artillery, we have decided on a policy to be carried out from Sham and Cambodia in South-East Asia in September of this year.
Moreover, by keeping many of the gunsmiths in the country under the jurisdiction of the Shogun, and significantly curtailing the production of artillery to the Great Names, the military power of the Shogun was removed in relative terms.
- Who can beat General Tokugawa's family, etc., but you will still be strong even though it is not in this heaven...
People were afraid of the military power of its overwhelming shogunate, and in all times, they dumped it on General Tokugawa's house with his "yearning for the strong".
A combination of "Absolute Strong, General Tokugawa" and "Savior of the Weak, Toyotomi" was being formed here.
It must have occurred to everyone that the world would turn well so that the irregularities in the gears would mesh with each other's desires for something different.
But...
The parties had different opinions.
Rather, it was the opposite of the world.
In other words, as the reputation of each other's houses grew, the feeling went far apart, rather than biting.
You know, one day in December of '11,
In the mansion of the two Articles, one Tokugawa Jiayang worked for the transcript.
It snowed in the morning, and I say it's only before noon, but we've already lost light outside.
In the meantime, Jiayang relies on a few room lights to run his brush indifferently. The hair had dyed completely silver in the past two months, and the wrinkles on her face, which were even just deep, had deepened its grooves. Just looking at this shows how nervous he has been over the last few months.
This year of 11 years of celebration has been a very heavy one for Jiayang.
Originally, I dreamed of sending my grandchildren and grandchildren every day I was comfortable with by ceding the general position to my son the previous year, but this past year began in the spring when I whipped my heart again that I no longer had to give it up for a few years. It goes without saying, of course, that it was Hideyoshi Toyotomi's sudden change that made that decisive. Until then, excellence was exactly like a puppet of the Temple and others, a puppet with no will whatsoever. If Hideyoshi had left me a doll, Jiayang's hair would still have been black by now. But Hideyoshi's movements have been intense since the spring of this year, as if people had changed.
When you're old enough, people don't change that easily, and you don't grow up.
But Hideyoshi Toyotomi is exactly the boy who is growing fast right now. Moreover, the stretch was pointing straight to the place where Jia Hao feared most. What is that place...
- A place full of people...
Those who can stand in that place can only be alone in those days and are now Hideyoshi Tokugawa, the son of Jiayang. So who stands next to Hideyoshi in that place… that's already to Takechiyo, or later Tokugawa Kaguro, he had decided, and for that reason Jiayang has decided to be prepared to leap into it himself.
- If Hideyoshi Toyotomi was the puppet of the heavy ministers of Osaka Castle as before...
I have to think about it once now.
And if that were the reality, Jiayang would have been able to immerse himself in the Acer by now rather than in the scriptures that could shake off all the clutter.
No... it's not about the personal enjoyment of family health that matters.
The Toyotomi themselves… More importantly, thinking about the future of Toyotomi Hideyoshi and the Temple, it was weighing my heart that if the Toyotomi family had taken the path of self-destruction as Jiayang thought they would have never aged before.
"You have a lot of energy..."
A voice can be heard from the back of Fu Jia Kang.
"What, Sado... before you go into the room, is that a shout?
Yes, it was Honda Masayoshi who complained. The honesty is dyed bright white, taking the hair one step further from silver. He may also be struggling enough to lose his hair dye. Such honesty answered Jiayang's bitterness with his eyes round, not saying he was out of his heart.
"This, I beg your pardon. I've spoken from outside the room a few times, but I haven't heard back from you at all, so I'm worried..."
"Hmm! I couldn't hear a voice like that at all. Wow!
I can't believe that Tokugawa Jiayang, the great lord who has nerved his eyes and ears against all information and events, misses the voice that should be heard right outside the room...
Were you so focused on the transcript by then, or...
Were you distracted by other, bigger things...
All in all, Honta Masayoshi gently lowered his back to Jiayang's side in an attempt to accomplish what he was now to accomplish.
"Dear Lord, I have something to keep in my ear..."
When Honesty cuts out so, Jiayang stops that hand and turns back to him. And with a tired look somewhere, he asked him.
"What? Tell me."
"Yes, that was Lord Echimae..."
Lord Echimae is the second son of Tokugawa Jiayang, Hidekang Nobushiro, and from the moment his nickname comes up, Jiayang softly closes his eyes. That, while still honestly, didn't mean to be remembered.
"Tell me more."
"Yes… so… according to what it gets, apparently next spring Sir Echimae invites some public houses to the Echimae Mansion in Fushimi as a tribute to his being ranked in the positive third place and is ready for a massive response"
"Well, what's wrong with that?"
"The problem lies in the day after the response."
"Hmm... what are you going to do..."
Honesty, cut off the word, stares at Jiayang for a while. As always, Jiayang with his eyes closed is unlikely to be able to tie his mouth and read fine emotions from his face.
Honesty, as he had decided to, exhaled one, lowered his voice and continued.
"They're going to visit Toyoku Shrine."
The words inadvertently opened Jiayang's eyes. Obviously, the blue expression makes me wonder about Jiayang's unusual amazement. I could say it was shocking by then.
"Ba... stupid..."
This was the best word that leaked by accident.
The reason for this surprise was obvious.
Because Toyokuni Shrine is worshipped by Toyokuni Daiming God… or Toyotomi Hideyoshi. In other words, Hidekang Nobujo is planning to worship the Toyokuni Daiming God in order to express his report and gratitude to the third best of his ranks.
What this means, it's...
- No matter how the position rises in the world of Tokugawa, I should like to express my gratitude for the prestige of His late Royal Highness Tai.
I just think it's an intense indication of will.
But if that's where those public houses worship right after the Symphony, there won't be a single shock.
But it makes a lot of sense for Hidekang Nobushi to do it. Because by this time, the great names had gone so far as to the jury and their lowest surnames that the worship of the Toyokuni Daiming God among the samurai was estranged. In the meantime, it is by no means difficult to assume that "the son of the Tokugawa Jiayang" and "the general, the real brother of Hideyoshi Tokugawa", that is, his direct line of generals, may have the effect of worshipping the Toyokuni Shrine.
- Even Lord Echimae paid a visit...
It would not be strange for those who think so and openly worship to show up.
It is natural for Jiayang to have a very uninteresting future. That's because the Toyotomi crushing path that Jiayang thinks starts with "isolating the Toyotomi". But as long as the worship of the samurai to Toyoku Shrine continues, the Toyotomi will not be isolated for long.
- Why... why is Hidekang doing this...
Unexpectedly Jia Kang bit his right thumbnail at his son's behavior, which can only be said to have stood where Jia Kang clearly aspired. But there's obviously one reason for that. In other words, he realized that the Tokugawa family had consolidated their determination to crush the Toyotomi family, and there must have been an aim to restrain it.
- I won't let you do what your father wants!
And when the royal figure of Hidekang, who was not on the spot, floated behind Jia Kang's brain, Jia Kang accidentally flashed his face.
But honesty went on to tatter even more against such a troubled family well-being.
"That's not all. How dare you lead all those who have been invited?"
"hey... what the... who... who's invited!?
"I don't know the details yet. But that includes Mr. Uesuke."
"Nah... what... Tatsuyoshi..."
Tatsuhiyoshi... That was Sousuke Matsuhei, that is, the person was also the son of Tokugawa Jiayang's fruit.
This would mean that General Tokugawa's immediate family members would have all of them and go bow their heads to the deified Hideyoshi Tai. If this were to happen, it would no longer be strange to be mistaken for the inclusion of the intentions of General Tokugawa, not of Hidekang Noboru...
Unexpectedly, Jiayang shouted loudly.
"Then no! You mustn't say no to that!
In response to Jiayang blushing his face, Honesty replied with the usual, somewhat blurry look as he came into the room.
"Well... why don't we..."
The tone of honesty, which seemed a little crazy, was still like cold water, quenching the fire as the burning head of Jia Hao looked through.
"What do you mean?
"No, I was just thinking about how to do it"
"So what!!? Let me get this straight!
Jia Kang's lake spearhead is clearly pointed at honesty. Honesty is his concern to keep Jia Kang from getting short tempered. Of course, the longtime acquaintance Jiayang was aware of the matter, which was why he set his emotional tone on him openly.
"Shall we stop worshipping only the Toyoku Shrine...
Or should we stop responding... "
"Hmm! Either way! Anyway, only the worship of Hidekang and Chen Chiyo is absolutely unforgivable!
"No, my lord. This is where the big idea lies."
"What are you talking about!?
"Think about it. This is what the public will say if we make them stop worshipping only.
"The Tokugawa family is still frightened by the glory of Tai Chi," he said...
But if we stop responding to the public house itself, the public says:
"Does the Tokugawa family want the public house, which is the use of Tenko?"...
In any case, it's visible that the corners stand. "
It is not a household health that does not realize this. Still, he instructed the emotional "stop" in good faith in an attempt to distract himself from it. Not so long ago, I could say one thing I didn't want to think of for him. But he exposed the matter without covering it up.
"That's enough… anyway, I'll leave this matter to the Lord. You may use my name. Do something."
What I said to the half-throw was an indication of willingness not to get involved in this matter any more.
Honesty, however, did not easily shake his head vertically.
And he stares at Jiayang without moving to see it from the spot, and without saying a word.
Jiayang was also peeking into the eyes of honesty without wandering around.
It's still snowing and shining outside...
For this minute, the mansion must be wrapped in one side of snow makeup tomorrow.
- Oh... if you lived like pure white snow that wasn't stained with anything...
"Dear Lord... Are you sure you want to leave it to me?"
Silence...
I turned away first...
It was Jiayang Tokugawa.
"No two words."
That word that trembles slightly.
And when Jiayang turned his back on honesty again, he began to immerse himself in the scriptures.
Truthfulness staring at its round back.
Its back, always big and full of majesty, was small at this time and seemed to be as honest as it was afraid of something.
Yes...
Jia Kang knew at this time.
that there are other ways of doing things that are half-enforced and horny, such as "stopping worship" or "stopping responding itself" …
Plus, Hondo Truthful tried to advance that...
Unexpectedly, honesty reaches for its back.
And...
At that moment I tried to gently rub...
"If you have no business, leave already"
And the hand stopped unexpectedly on a word like Jiayang's thrust.
When Honesty lowered his head, he quietly followed the scene.
Thus, Honda Masayoshi could not advance to the end.
But it was no longer better than this.
- If anything happens to Lord Echimae to stop responding to himself...
that...
