Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 2150 Chief Baikui (卌[-]) Poor Bird
The Nanning Marquis Mansion of the Great Ming Capital is still discussing the upcoming war between Southern Xinjiang and the Mughals, but they don't know that another war may start first.

After the death of Toshiie Maeda, the Toyotomi family, the core figures of the Toyotomi family's decision-making faction, Kiyomasa Kato, Dr. Masamori Fukushima Saemon, Nagamasa Kuroda Kai, Tadakashi Hosokawa, Attendant Teruma Ikeda, Asano Dr. Yukinaga Sakyo, and Kato Saomasuke Yoshiaki, a total of seven people had a secret conversation among the Thousand Islands, intending to kill Ishida Osamu Shosuke Mitsunari immediately.

However, I don't know whether it was the news leaked or Ishida Mitsunari had expected it long ago. By the time they gathered people and killed them in Ishida's mansion, Ishida Mitsunari had already drifted away, leaving only some unimportant people behind.The seven people only wanted to kill Ishida Matsunari, but they were not interested in these people in his mansion, and they didn't want to kill them for no reason in this crucial place, so they retreated to discuss.

In fact, Ishida Mitsunari did not go far at this time, but quietly escaped from his own house to Ukita Hideka's house.

When Ishida Mitsunari, accompanied by Satake Yoshinobu, arrived at Ukita's mansion, the Kita Hide family and Uesugi Kekatsu had already been waiting for a long time.Both of them had sullen faces, and anyone with a discerning eye could tell at a glance that they sympathized with Sancheng's experience, but at this moment they were in a difficult situation.

"Master Mao Li has also known about the meeting, but he has not yet arrived. It seems that things are really as Mr. Xiao Xi said." The Xiu family let the idlers retreat, and then sighed.

The reason why he opened his mouth was really helpless as the master. After all, if the deadlock of silence was not broken, everyone would only be more embarrassed.After all, Xiujia is only 28 years old, and what he thinks is also the thoughts of young people, the city is a little shallow.

Sancheng didn't answer, just looked at Jing Sheng silently.Kagekatsu Uesugi is in his late forties, two years younger than Terumoto Mori, and he ranks behind Terumoto among the five elders.

"The matter has come to this, we must not sit idly by." Jing Sheng's words seemed to be intended for Yixuan.

"My lord has learned a lesson." Yixuan leaned forward and echoed, "The most important thing right now is to protect Lord Zhibu."

"Yes. Now that the rumors are rampant, Kato and the others will definitely not let it go."

"So, what should we do?"

"I think it's better to seek the understanding of the Zuo Mansion first, and let the Zuo Mansion come out to put pressure on Kato and the others. This way, there may be room for maneuver. Everyone, to this day, except for the Zuo Mansion, no one in the world can quell this chaos." Jing Sheng proposed.

"I think so too. Once things get serious, it's not a good thing for the Zuo Mansion. I believe he must be very clear about it. Why don't I accompany Lord Zhibu to Fushimi to take refuge tonight, what do you think?" Yixuan looked at Sancheng.

"This can be regarded as a countermeasure." Jing Sheng interjected.

"As long as Mr. Jibu is not in Osaka, the chaos will temporarily subside. Then, Mr. Uesugi, Mr. Ukita, and Mr. Mori will jointly come forward and ask the Zuofu to mediate. In this way..."

The fire of contempt and anger suddenly ignited in Sancheng's heart.Satake Yoshinobu was indeed worried about him, for this kindness, Sancheng was very grateful.However, beyond this, it is not difficult to find that Yoshin seems to have pinned all his hopes on Ieyasu, hoping that Ieyasu will come forward to calm the situation.

As expected, at this point, he either surrenders to Ieyasu, or puts his family's life at risk, and fights to the death with Ieyasu... If he does not make a decision, Ishida Mitsunari will always be ridiculed by the world.

"Master Jibu, come to Fushimi with me tonight, what do you think?" Yoshinobuka asked again without answering.

Sancheng chuckled, and said calmly: "Although everyone has their own ambitions, these words always sound like putting the cart before the horse."

"Put the cart before the horse?"

"Why should everything be decided by the Zuo Mansion? The Zuo Mansion has secretly incited everyone in Kato to get rid of the pillar of the Toyotomi Clan. Why should I ask such a person to mediate?"

"So, Master Zhibu doesn't want to go to Fushimi?" Without waiting for Sancheng's answer, Jing Sheng interjected again: "Of course Master Zhibu is right, but now that the enemy is at hand, we have to go to Fushimi to take refuge first. Only in order to ensure safety."

"You make Sancheng feel deeply sorry for what you said." Sancheng suddenly became impassioned, straightened his chest and said, "It would be a different matter in a chaotic world with murderous people, but if it is unified today, why should I be afraid of those lawless people?" , mobs who form cliques for selfish interests and plot evil?"

"That's the truth, but if the Zhibu is really desperate with those thugs, if something good or bad happens, wouldn't it be a small loss? Therefore, it's better to go to Fushimi to avoid it first."

"I know that my lord's proposal is all for Sancheng, but how can I run away in fear? After all, it is also one of the five pursuits!" Sancheng deliberately refused to give up an inch—if he panicked and asked Jiakang for help, he would leave himself with a lifetime of embarrassment. Shame not lost.

"Zhibu will not leave Osaka City no matter what?" Jing Sheng continued to ask.

"I didn't say that I would never leave Osaka. What I mean is, if necessary, I will fight with those thugs. If I don't come forward now, how will I see the world in the future?"

"Then what are you going to do?"

"Thirty percent has already figured it out, my territory is in Omi, so I have to try to go back. Of course, on the way back to Omi, it's not difficult to stop by Fushimi..."

After hearing what Sancheng said, Satake Yoshinobu was a little dazed, and frowned, "Please forgive me for interrupting first. Since Mr. Jibu thinks so, then it's easy to handle. In short, first rush to Fushimi, and then go to Zuofu. Mukojima's mansion temporarily took refuge. Wasn't it the same before, and it was precisely because Jibu-sama stayed in the Dainagon mansion that they didn't dare to do anything."

"Lord Satake, you should be more careful with what you say. I didn't come to the Dainagon mansion because I was afraid of those thugs. I guarded it every day for the future of Toyotomi and worried about Dainagon's illness. I didn't expect you to think so, Really disappointing!"

"Excuse me!" Yixuan was afraid that the argument would become more urgent, so he apologized bluntly: "Then please leave quickly. I have already prepared the boat..."

"Wait a minute." Sancheng turned to Jing Sheng and said, "If Lord Uesugi agrees, Sancheng has no choice but to go to the Zuo Mansion first. Of course, I am not going to seek refuge, nor am I going to ask for help. The Zuo Mansion is instigating The mastermind of the rioters, I am going to reprimand... do you have any objections?"

Jing Sheng sullenly said nothing.

"Isn't it? Knowing that Zuo Fu is the mastermind of the thugs, but still going to take refuge with him, wouldn't you be a 'poor bird' in the eyes of the world? Sancheng is not a fool who doesn't even understand this. I want to go upright and ask, In the name of the three elders and the chief representative of the fifth chief executive, I went to question him and asked him to order the seven generals to stop the riots... Huh, I am not a poor bird with nowhere to escape, but a raptor that goes forward bravely. What do you think, Uesugi grown ups?"

Jing Sheng didn't even look at [-]% of the situation, but nodded carefully and said, "Okay. In short, avoid riots first."

In front of Ieyasu, can San Guoguo treat Ieyasu with such an attitude?Jing Sheng was deeply suspicious.

Sancheng glanced at Yoshinobu Satake again, then stood up calmly, and said proudly: "I repeat, Sancheng did not avoid those thugs because he was afraid of those thugs. Please make sure you understand this point." After finishing speaking, he turned to Show home, seek approval.

As expected of Shaosuke Jibu!Xiujia looked up at Sancheng with emotion.As a young man, how could he notice Sancheng's distress?
Yoshinobu also heaved a sigh of relief, and said, "Then, I will leave it to Yoshinobu to send Master Jibu to Fushimi. Uesugi-sama and Zikita-sama, I will take my leave first." With a salute, stand up.

Coming out of the gate, the sky has been covered by thick clouds, and there is not a single star, but the warm spring breeze blows over, which makes people feel a little better.

"It's the south wind. I'm lucky, it just goes downwind." Yixuan murmured to himself as he ran towards the river.

Thirty percent did not answer, but responded with silence.

The bird of prey that shows great ambitions in front of everyone is actually a poor bird with nowhere to escape, and will eventually hide under Ieyasu's wings... Sancheng is very clear that right now, he has nowhere to see him except Fushimi.Because of this, his mood is not easy.

"All the boatmen are confidantes, please rest assured." Yixuan stood on the shore and waved to a boat with a weight of about thirty stone floating on the dark water. to the shore.

"Is there anything unusual on the river?"

"My lord, everything is normal."

"That's good. We have important guests today, so we must be more careful when sailing."

"Obey!" The warrior at the bow responded.Yixuan explained a few more words, and urged Sancheng to get on the boat quickly.Sancheng silently waited for the boatman to put the pedals into the boat, and sat cross-legged under the felt-covered mast.

The boat left the river bank, and the sound of the oars paddling gently came from the ear.Sancheng was stiff all over: he had never been so frightened in his whole life of adventures.The person he hated the most had a fat body and the smell of salamanders all over his body... Now he had to rely on the protection of this person.

But, can Ieyasu's retainers allow him to meet Ieyasu?Are there assassins facing each other with swords?Or if he met Ieyasu, he would also be murdered when he returned?

"Master Jibu, are you cold?" Hearing Yoshinobu's question, Sancheng realized that he seemed to have a fever and his whole body was drenched in sweat.

"It's not cold. It's just that the wind is a little hot, and I'm sweating."

"Master Zhibu, I still think it's best not to take the initiative to provoke Zuofu, especially at this moment, there is really no need for it."

San Cheng remained silent.

In fact, Satake Yoshinobu also resented Ieyasu because he was adjacent to Ieyasu's territory.This is very similar to the feud between Higo's Kato and Konishi.Neighbors are powerful, no matter what, they are not good for themselves.But once this dissatisfaction is too explicit, it will wake up the sleeping lion and eventually shoot himself in the foot.Therefore, the friendship between Yixuan and Sancheng naturally has its limits.

All he wanted was to properly contain Ieyasu through Sancheng, and Sancheng also temporarily regarded Yoshinobu as an ally.Of course, once the two sides launch a decisive battle, this relationship will naturally change, but Yixuan has not yet seen [-]% of his determination.

First send the Zhibu Shaofu to Ieyasu's office. If Ieyasu blames Yoshinobu for his lack of thoughtfulness, he intends to answer like this: "The Zuofu is poor. If the Zhibu is left in Osaka, it is very likely to cause chaos, so I deliberately Invite him to your mansion. Of course, everything will be handled by the left mansion." In this way, maybe Yoshinobu will become the hero who personally arrested Sancheng and handed him over to Ieyasu.

It was already dawn on the second day when the ship entered Fushimi Mukoshima.To be precise, it was the fourth morning of the fourth month of leap in March in the fourth year of Qingchang.Yoshinobu got off the boat first, and told Honda Sado Shouzheng the news of Sancheng's arrival.

Exactly what Yixuan said, [-]% had no way of knowing.All he knew was that Yoshinobu would never say that he came to reprimand Ieyasu, there was no doubt about that.

Knowing that Sancheng had arrived, the atmosphere in Tokugawa Mansion suddenly became tense.

"It seems that Zhibu was scared and confused, and even took the initiative to deliver it to the door."

"What a moth to a flame."

"Hmph, this person is so shameless, at this very moment, he has the cheek to come here?"

This kind of dialogue can be heard everywhere in the mansion, and it was already expected by [-]% of the people.

Yoshinobu Satake and Masanobu Honda appeared at the pier together, and Mitsunari stepped off the boat with his head held high.

"It turned out to be Jibu-sama. I didn't expect it. Please hurry up." Honda Masanobu, who is four years older than Ieyasu and is now over [-], has an inscrutable smile on his face. Everything was as expected, and it was secretly shocking.But [-]% had already expected it.

"I have a secret matter that I need to meet with the Zuo Manor, I'm going to trouble my lord to report it."

"My lord is receiving guests now, please rest in the guest room first, Mr. Jibu."

Masanobu dismissed Satake Yoshinobu with a single sentence, and said with a smile: "You have come from a long way, you have worked hard. Please go back." After that, he led the way for Sancheng, and said with a fake smile: "Mujima's mansion is really good. It is indeed the location chosen by Master Taige, it is really a good fortress."

Honda Sadomori is known as Tokugawa's think tank. He traveled around the world when he was young. His wisdom is by no means inferior to Akechi Mitsuhide who has a clear understanding of life and affairs. He is even highly regarded among merchants in Sakai Port.These [-]% are very clear.

However, was this Ieyasu's idea, or Sado's own idea?Thirty percent were puzzled.He wanted to get a rough idea of ​​Ieyasu's thoughts through Sado's reaction.

After Sado brought Misunari to a guest room—this guest room was still built by the Taiko—he said solemnly: "This is really a sudden disaster. It seems that it is better to deal with the complaints of Kato and others first."

accuse?Sancheng was taken aback, it seemed that the matter had been noticed, but who told the secret?He couldn't help asking: "Your Excellency just said that the Zuo Mansion is receiving guests, who is the distinguished guest?"

"Mr. Shimadzu Tadatoge. I heard that when Mr. Zhongheng punished Yijiin Zhongdong, he was severely reprimanded by the lord of the government. Presumably the lord of the government has not forgotten it? Duke Zhongheng was very surprised, so he retreated to Mount Kaohsiung to wait for the crime. Now it seems , Zhongheng Gong also realized his fault.

It is true, even though Yijiyuan Zhongdong is only a retainer of Duke Zhongheng, but he is also a favorite general of the Taige after all, and it is really unreasonable to kill him on a whim.

Of course, since Mr. Zhongheng retreated to Kaohsiung Mountain to be punished, doesn't it mean that he has realized that the previous handling was inappropriate?Therefore, Zuo Fu discussed with Maeda Zentokuin Xuanyi and decided to deal with it lightly, and now he is called back from Mount Kaohsiung.He is now thanking Zuofu.
