◇ ◇
Early morning of December 17th, the 16th year of the Celebration -
That was still before the morning sun showed its face.
One emergency alert was delivered during Osaka Castle's assessment.
- Enemy attack concentrates on Maida Maru!
In return for feeling drowsy, it was Jiji Ono who made his face bright red.
"Brother! Let me go! Show us that the Toyotomi army under heaven is not the number of things, such as the dogs in the Shogun!!
But the governor shook his neck to the side to hold on to Jiuqu's prophecy.
It's just that the look was somewhere plump and sunny, I don't think, in a very critical situation.
It was his mother, Sir Ozo, who perceived it sharply, questioned him in a pale tone.
"Chief, it looks like you have an idea, but how's it going?
The governor answered it without putting it on his face, although he was heartily surprised at his mother, who foresaw everything about him.
"Mother, I have one favor to ask you."
"Hmm, what is it?
A ruler who strengthens his eyesight much more.
It's unusual for him to clean himself up at all times, and the fact that his inert beard stands out is also the story of him haunting something through the night.
And he put his strength into his belly and said one favor.
"Bring Yoshi-sama here."
"Dear Yoshi...? For what?
Against his questioning mother, once he breathed heavily, the governor told him of his determination in one breath.
"We will vote whether or not to surrender to the Shogun! I want Yoshi to see where he is."
The three remaining raters in the room now are Yurakusai Oda, Governor Ono and Sir Ozo.
If the Governor clarifies his position of "surrendering to the Shogun," even if Sir Ozo disagrees, the result will be determined.
"Is that what you mean..."
Lord Ozo looks up to heaven with his eyes meditating, and he begins to tear away.
When I saw the tears, I finally understood my brother's intentions. Ji Hu was furious.
"Brother, hey!! You disloyal bastard!!
And he was beaten to death by the curator with a ghostly shape.
- Dogong!!
The governor never avoids, and receives his brother's iron fist on his right cheek. But as he showed his readiness for immortality, he kept staring only at Sir Ozo, without losing his posture.
I guess that didn't bother me to go to Ji Room.
Jimura became Jen-royal right in front of him, blocking his gaze.
But still, he kept staring away from Sir Ozo's sitting place.
- This is the answer to living happily ever after!
And to deliver the voice of the heart to her...
I didn't even try to find out about the bloody Jiu-kun on my head, such as my brother's grievous determination.
"Uhhhhhh!!
He began to lay his hands on the knife he lay on his hips as he raised his beastly voice.
Did Yurakusai, sitting next to the governor, feel himself in danger, stand up unexpectedly and take two or three steps back?
Despite being wrapped up in apparently disturbing air, Sir Ozo pointed his sharp gaze at Jiu-kun, but did not try to break in among his brothers.
And he did not try to be slight until he was governor.
- I'm sure you'll understand Jiu-kun too...
He wasn't sure why, but he was so sure.
At last, however, Jimura pulled out his sword and shook it wide open.
"Brother! Don't let me slay your lord!
That's how he screamed. His face is so wet in tears that it can no longer be distinguished from anyone's.
The governor finally stared at his brother's face at this point.
And he asked only one question to his brother.
"It's Jiu-kun. What's the Lord supposed to protect? Are they from Osaka Castle? Or is it your own tiny will?
"I... I just regret it!! Surrender before you've fought too hard yet, just don't be sorry!!
"I don't see why you surrender because you haven't fought hardly and now you're not hurting soldiers or people!!
"No! My brother is wrong! Then I'm not a samurai! A samurai is gorgeous on the battlefield..."
Yes, it was the moment Jimura was about to say.
The governor drank him in a voice that sounded all over the room.
"It's not a samurai minute that we should protect! The people! It is the life and safety of the people who live on Osaka!! That's what Hideyoshi entrusted to do, the most important thing!
Ji's face was completely consolidated.
No one can say anything and the room is wrapped in silence......
And finally......
- Gotton......
When the knife fell from Ji's hand, the floor sounded dull.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa!!
When Jimura cries down, Sir Ozo's appearance is shown again in the sight of the governor.
When they looked at each other, they nodded quietly.
And Lord Ozo slowly rose.
Yurakusai watched from a short distance from how it was going.
I accidentally covered my mouth with a fan in my hand to keep my mouth down that I couldn't help but loosen.
- Kukuku... everything's fine now. Wow. Let me trick you at all......
How can the three parents and children in front of them know that Yurakusai couldn't stop laughing like that......
Lord Ozo puts his hand on the pocket.
Surrender is no longer a matter of time......
... and it was about that moment everyone thought.
- Spavan!!
And the temper was opened with great momentum.
Sir Ozo, who was trying to open it with his own hands, said, "Hih!," and it wouldn't be impossible to have raised a voice that wasn't like hers.
But compared to what happens after this, such as the fact that the pigeon was opened alone, it was worse and smaller, if you look at the person standing there, than you look at the fire -
"Let me ask you something really interesting outside. That's just that Hideyoshi has been appointed deputy. Lord Governor Ono. Aren't you a pretty good person"
The chief curator's eyes opened wide to the voice.
It is hard to see the person ahead of you. Because Sir Ozo is not in a good position. But if you hear a clear voice like that clean creek, everyone in Osaka Castle, even him, will be able to speak the name of the person.
Soyo Ishida, and...
"Oh, such an idiot..."
That was the voice that leaked out of Yurasai's mouth, but if that voice had been slightly delayed, Ji would have said the exact same thing.
So much so that Zong Yong's appearance was worthy of draining their fat liver.
Soyo then told him in a speary sharp tone.
"It's for Yoshi! Together, refrain!!
Together, he lowers his head with his posture corrected at the same time so that it is played.
The governor, with his head bowed, shifted his gaze upwards, and there was indeed the appearance of the temple and Souyoshi Ishida, as well as yet another, stranger.
Zong Ying, who sat the starch in a heightened place, walked into the center of the room with a flowing trick as it was.
And when he lowered his back quickly, he bowed his head toward the temple deeply.
Everyone, raise your heads.
Everyone raises their faces to a crisp voice like the sound of a starling bell.
At this time, she was beyond forty, but seemed increasingly polished by beauty, and the governor was unexpectedly looked upon.
Then she continued, smiling nicely at the governor.
"You've done well so far, Chief. Thank you in advance."
To her words, the governor, who returned to me more, bowed his head again.
But he was too nervous to understand what her words meant.
Sir Ozo, who anticipated it, inquired of the Temple on his behalf.
"Master Yoshi. What the hell does" ever "mean?"
"Heh heh, that's what it means."
"Does that mean you're going to dismiss the governor's 'deputy' position?
Sir Ozo's eyes sharpened because she tried to stand as a 'mother' in an attempt to defend the position of the governor.
But the starch shook her neck to the side to shed her wrath.
"No, I don't mean that. The deputy is the governor."
"So what did you mean by 'so far'?
It was Zongyong who opened his mouth to Sir Ozo, who had so questioned him.
"So far, let's just say that the role of the" Raters "has been this far."
When Sir Ozo's eyes opened wide, the next moment he became a ghostly face and stared at Soyo.
"Master Ishida. I don't know what you're talking about. As for Osaka Castle, it was decided by Hideyoshi, as decided by this critic."
"Yes, I know that."
"So why can Ishida-sama squeak out? Ishida, the" outsider, "who is not a rater."
Sir Ozo is hunting down Sou-yong with obvious and outspoken words. But Soo-yong answered without moving at all.
"All about Osaka Castle...... hehe, that is an error"
"What? I mean what you're saying..."
Yes, it is the moment she is about to say it.
- Shh!
And one letter was spread out in front of her.
"What is this?
"If you read it, you'll see."
Surprised, but reluctantly, Lord Ozo looks through the writ, as Soyo says.
But the next moment, her expression changed.
"Oh, no..."
The governor, seeing how such a mother was, hurried to take the letter and read it out.
And just at first glance, he also turned pale in amazement.
"And the Toyotomi shall be binary politics... politics and diplomacy shall be determined by the reputation..."
"Hey, what the heck!!?
Yurakusai tries to roll over to the words of the governor and crawls under the writ.
And he spoke of the continuation of what was written in the brief.
"The military and Tokugawa measures shall be laid down by the 'bureaucrats'...... yahhhh!? That's stupid! That's stupid! This is not fake! That's a fake letter!
The letter was the minutes of the first ministerial meeting held at the school in Kyung on March 2, 2011 (1606).
Of course, there's also a well-signed Hideyoshi himself in there.
Yurakusai, who saw it, shuddered and shut his mouth.
Soo-yong told them in a relaxed tone, where they had been in enough confusion.
"The remaining Tabernacle is now in the Lord Xuanto Osaki, who is here with it. Before this, I'd like to leave 'everything' to both of us. May I? Dear Sir."
The governor swallowed a saliva at Jong-yong's inquiry.
Too vividly arranged, he had to grieve at the difference in character from himself.
- Are you saying that Tokugawa Jiayang beat this man... not quite, that's never going to happen.
But nevertheless, he also has the will to serve as a deputy until now.
He shuddered in a trembling voice.
"But now that" Maidamaru "is under attack, it is imperative that enemies enter the castle. Wouldn't that result in a large number of dead people?
Then Zong Yong loosens his mouth.
The governor who saw it accidentally pointed his mouth at him because he seemed to have been ridiculed.
"Hey, what's wrong!? Lord Zongyong doesn't mind if the city of Osaka becomes a sea of fire, is that what you're trying to say!?
But Zongying replied with a gentle expression to the governor who blushed.
"If you have heard from me earlier, you will see that the people of the reputation are mistaken."
"A mistake? What do you mean?
It was Yurakusai who came out of his mouth from the side, but Souyong answered without giving him a glance, still staring only at the governor.
"There is no way Toyotomi will lose when you Tokugawa. So there are enemies inside Osaka Castle, and so on."
"Heh... what the...!? Toyotomi wins...... so!?
That was exactly the situation I deserved to describe as' outrageous'.
Sir Ozo, Yurakusai, the governor, and even Jiu-kun, who was breathing so much, lost his words and sat down.
Zong Ying, who narrowed his eyes to how they were doing, advanced his knees toward the governor.
And......
"Now, choose. 'Foolish Surrender' or 'Clever Victory'? Which way, my lord deputy?"
and pressed the governor to make a decision -
There is only one answer so far said, and so on, is that it is obvious from everyone's eyes.
The curator replied, sweating all over his body, trying to squeeze it out.
"From now on... I'll leave you to the Tabernacles..."
And...
At the moment he heard it, Sou-yong said softly, backwards of a calm expression, with a heavy voice that slapped his pants and chest.
"I'm starting a bureaucratic meeting with this! Other 'outsiders' than Yoshi in our name will be left immediately!
"Bu, you're an outsider..."
And Yurakusai, trembling with a mess and wrath, showered his sorrowful words to Sosei, as if he had cut a weir.
"Get on your head if you're listening hard!! When the fate of Maida Maru is about to be exhausted, you can't stop laughing at such a big mouth!
"Well... does Lord Yurakusai think" Maidamaru "will fall?"
"Of course not! It's just an ornament, such as" Maidamaru ", where there's no Lord Katsura or Komura!
Soyo slowly moved his gaze to Yurakusai.
But that gaze was like pity.
Yurasai was furious when he saw it.
"Kisama ah!! No more forgiveness!!
"Stop being among your people! And Lord Ishida! You say something like on what basis!?
When Yurakusai pulls out the knife on his hips, the governor stands between them and flatters him.
Still, Zong Yong, without moving at all, ordered him to turn out loud, with a serene expression.
"Somebody! Report on the status of Maidamaru!
Then a small surname in armor, who came for a small run down the hallway, responds to Zong's request with a refreshing tongue. And to its content, once again Yurakusai and the others have lost their temperament...
"Ha!! Maida Maru has made it into Guiguang Traditional last night and we are fighting against the exhilaration! The enemy's waning war will be remarkable, and our victory will be no doubt if it stays this way!!
What a reward for Guiguang Hiroshi, who had fought a great deal at a long-distance fort away from Osaka Castle, entered Maida Maru through a flatland where his enemies hissed overnight -
