Kuroda Rusui's words went straight to Yoshihime's heart.
??
Since the death of the hard-won He Song, Yoshihime's position has become more and more awkward. The Ojang faction, which originally had a tendency to lean towards her, turned to the Kitasugaku in the blink of an eye and turned to follow Toyotomi Hidetsugu. Only the Kime faction still insisted on an alliance with her.
The main reason was that Ishida Mitsunari did not know how to manage interpersonal relationships. He offended the Ojang faction. He was afraid of being punished later, so he clung to Yoshihime's thigh, hoping to rely on Hideyoshi's biological son to extend his political life, so he became closer and closer to Yoshihime. The old woman in the Kitasugaku was not in Ishida Mitsunari's consideration.
"Once the Grand Cabinet really dies, only His Highness Guan Bai can inherit the Grand Cabinet's position. His Highness Guan Bai has a good relationship with Mrs. Kitasugaku and the generals of the Ojang faction. Once His Highness Guan Bai succeeds the throne, madam, what do you think is the best result for you?"
At the mention of this, Yoshihime was very upset. She knew very well that if He Song had not appeared, her position would not be so awkward. If He Song had not died, her position would be higher than the Kitasugaku. However, He Song appeared and died early, which made her position extremely awkward. Even the good relationship with the Kitasugaku disappeared without a trace. In the past few years, the two fought openly and secretly. They were like fire and water.
Once Toyotomi Hideyoshi was finished and Toyotomi Hidetsugu ascended the throne, then the best ending waiting for her was to become a nun and "meditate" — Yoshihime did not want to leave this noble stage and lose such a hot power.
"Mr. Imperial Guard … I …"
Kuroda Rusui smiled and shook his head: "In fact, madam, you don't have to worry so much. The reason why I came is naturally to give you advice. This is not only for your position, but also for the future position of our people. In this regard, we have the same goal and purpose."
"So, what is your suggestion?"
"The child in your belly is our savior."
"But I'm not pregnant."
Kuroda Rusui smiled strangely. "As long as Taiko believes it, it's fine. You only need to do so and so …"
Along with Kuroda Rushui's narration, Otaki's face alternated between blue and white. She was hesitant at first, but after Kuroda Rushui explained the pros and cons to her little by little, the last trace of hesitation in Otaki's heart disappeared. In the end, the expression on her face turned into a fierce and ferocious color, distorting her beautiful appearance completely out of shape. It took a while for her to return to her original beauty.
"I understand. Sir Wei, everything depends on you."
"Don't worry, leave it to me."
Kuroda Rushui and Otaki reached a deal. He quickly left this troublesome place and then brought the news to Tokugawa Ieyasu. The plan designed by the two most resourceful strategists in the history of Japan began to be implemented. When this happened, there were still ten days before the Ming Army attacked the port of Tsushima.
Otaki sent people to boil water and prepare spices. She was going to take a bath and then personally serve Toyotomi Hideyoshi. Toyotomi Hideyoshi was ill, and the concubines took turns to serve him. Otaki had served him once before, and this was the second time. It was said that although Toyotomi Hideyoshi had woken up, his body was still relatively weak. The time he spent awake every day was short and the time he slept was long. His physical condition was obviously not good.
Otaki cleaned herself up and went to serve Toyotomi Hideyoshi. When she saw Toyotomi Hideyoshi, he was in a coma and had not woken up. Otaki dismissed all the maids and guards and personally boiled medicine for Toyotomi Hideyoshi. She personally wiped his body and arms. Looking at his aging face and skin, she couldn't help but feel a little disgusted.
This skinny little old man was too different from the powerful and suitable partner in her heart, but he was the most powerful person. After experiencing the destruction of her family, Dian Ji had no choice but to devote herself to this indirect enemy who killed her father. However, Dian Ji had no intention of avenging her father. Her childhood experience told her that in this world, the strong survived, and women like them could only rely on strong men to survive.
What kind of energy was contained in this little old man's body? How did he fight his way out of the hands of his grandfather and grandfather, from a lowly slut all the way to the power he had today? There were only a handful of such people in the history of Japan, right?
But why did he have such an old and thin body?
Otaki felt infinite melancholy.
Under such an atmosphere, Toyotomi Hideyoshi slowly opened his eyes. The first thing he saw was Yonami, whose face was full of worry.
"Tea? What's wrong? Why do you look unhappy? "
Toyotomi Hideyoshi had always been very fond of Otaki. The treatment of Otaki was second only to that of his wife, Hokomasa Ningning. This was not only because Otaki was young and beautiful and good at pleasing people, but also because Otaki's grandfather was the granddaughter of Oda Nobunaga, who had recognized and promoted him. Oda Nobunaga was of noble blood.
Toyotomi Hideyoshi had always been very self-abased about his origin. The greater the power, the higher the status, the more self-abased he became. At the beginning, he could not get the position of the great general of conquest, so he could only take the position of Guan Bai. The reason was that he was born a commoner, not a traditional noble.
So he tried his best to write his own life experience, and even boasted that he was the illegitimate son of the Mikado. It was simply crazy.
His love for Otaki was not only because he was satisfied that their descendants could inherit the noble blood of Oda Nobunaga, but also because he was grateful to Oda Nobunaga.
Only then did Otaki notice that Toyotomi Hideyoshi had woken up, and there was no longer the arrogance between his eyebrows. He seemed to have sobered up a lot, which was what Otaki needed.
"You finally woke up. These days, Tea hasn't been sleeping well and eating well. Every day and night, I've been praying for you to wake up soon."
Tears came without saying, and with infinite grievance and melancholy, Otaki said while crying. This kind of acting skill was enough to qualify as an A-list actor today.
"What's wrong? Who bullied you? Tell me, I'll deal with him! "
Toyotomi Hideyoshi reached out and wiped Otaki's cheeks.
"It's not that anyone wants to bully Tea Tea. Tea Tea is just afraid, just afraid that if this matter is known, Tea Tea will be hurt."
Otaki sobbed and leaned on Toyotomi Hideyoshi's chest, crying. Toyotomi Hideyoshi felt a little confused, and hurriedly asked, "Tea Tea, you … you have to tell me, so I can uphold justice for you, right? Or, you can tell Shuji and let him uphold justice for you. Don't worry, I will never let you be wronged. "
"You can't tell His Highness Guan Bai!!"
Otaki suddenly shouted as if she had heard something very terrible.
