Master Qingwei was preparing to meet various mountain gods, so he did not keep them.
Several people left Master Qingwei's big tent and came to a tent dedicated to discussions.
Li Tiangang said: "The real person in charge of the army has other matters. It is up to me to explain the arrangements for the Toyotomi family."
After saying that, Li Tiangang turned around and pointed to the map of Fenglinzhou hanging on the wall: "Look, everyone, Toyo is the closest to Hidekyo, then Owari, Omi is the farthest from Hidekyo. The previous regent Sekibaro Toyotomi Hidetsugi died in an accident
After that, the Toyotomi family no longer had a suitable heir, because Toyotomi Hidetsugi had no sons and only had one sister, Toyotomi Chiyo. There was no precedent for a woman to serve as regent Guanbai, and her ability was not enough to take on such a big responsibility.
Therefore, the heir must be chosen from the three royal families who have the right to inherit."
Qi Xuansu asked: "If Toyotomi Chiyo is allowed to serve as regent Guanbai, she has no foundation and insufficient ability. If she wants to secure the position of regent Guanbai, she can only rely on the Taoist sect. Wouldn't it be more conducive for our Taoist sect to control Toyotomi Prime Minister's Mansion?
"
Li Tiangang said: "The idea of Deputy Hall Master Qi is not wrong, but it is not appropriate for the time. The situation in Fenglinzhou is unstable now, and the people of Prime Minister Toyotomi are divided. At this time, the Taoist sect does not need a puppet who obeys orders, let alone
We need allies or subordinates who can play a certain role."
Qi Xuansu nodded to express his understanding.
Li Tiangang continued: "As I said just now, the Omi Toyotomi family among the three imperial families is the farthest from Xiujing and has the shallowest foundation in Xiujing. Therefore, before the Taoist sect officially intervenes in the affairs of Toyotomi Prime Minister's Mansion, it is mainly the tail.
The Zhang Fengchen family and the Enjiang Fengchen family competed for the position of regent Guan Bai."
"This has to mention another person, Naosada Ii. He is the lord of Omi Hikone Domain and also serves as the boss of Toyotomi Prime Minister's Office. The so-called boss can probably be understood as the chief assistant of the Prime Minister's Office, second only to Guan Bai.
The second-in-command. When Toyotomi Hidetsugi died in an accident, it was a top priority to elect the new regent Guanshiro. At that time, there were two main candidates, namely Hideyoshi of the Owari family and Hidekei of the Ene family.
Xiang and Guan Bai Xiuji are closer in blood, but they are still young and underage. Xiuqing is already thirty years old and in his prime."
"On this issue, the two factions refused to give in to each other, and even shook the situation in the prime minister's office. Naosada firmly advocated supporting Hidexiang of the Owari family from the standpoint of respecting blood, while the other faction stood for the overall situation.
Hidekei, who insisted on supporting the Toe family. Originally, the two sides were evenly matched, but the previous chief, Masahiro Naka, died unexpectedly and lost cabinet supporters, which directly led to the defeat of the Toe faction. The Owari faction gained the upper hand and jointly formed the cabinet.
, From then on, Naodada, as the elder, took control of the Prime Minister Toyotomi's office."
"With the support of Naosada, Hideyoshi was officially confirmed as the successor of Toyotomi Sekihaku. At the same time, using the death of Toyotomi Hidetsugi as an excuse, he took the opportunity to retaliate and punish the feudal lord of the Ene faction, or stop visiting the city to participate in politics, or
They were forced to retreat and reflect on their mistakes, and so on. Then a large prison was set up, and the ministers of these feudal lords were arrested, which implicated hundreds of people. After trial, they were either sentenced to hara-kiri, beheaded, or exiled and imprisoned."
"Such high-pressure measures directly led the Yuanjiang faction to go to extremes, and eventually sent assassins to assassinate the elder Zhiding in Xiujing City. After Zhiding's death, he was dismissed from his post as elder. Without Zhiding's protection, the young Xiu
It was difficult for Xiang to secure his position, and he left soon after. The Prime Minister's Office kept the funeral secret, and later the Taoist sect himself ended up."
Qi Xuansu only knew about the internal fighting in the prime minister's house before, but did not know the specific process. It was only now that he understood the cause and effect. When it came to killing people with a knife, it could be said that he had already broken his skin.
Li Tiangang continued: "After the master of the army arrived, he did not want to involve too much in the grievances within the Toyotomi family, and decided to settle the matter. In the previous internal fighting, both the Owari faction and the Enji faction suffered heavy losses, regardless of whether
Whichever faction is allowed to succeed Guan Bai will inevitably lead to strong opposition from the other faction. Therefore, after considering the opinions of the chief minister of Fenglinzhou Daofu and Prime Minister Toyotomi's mansion, the real person in charge of the army decided to let the third faction who was not involved in it decide.
The three Omi factions came to inherit Guan Bai's position in order to achieve
To achieve the purpose of balancing the three families. In the end, the master of the army chose the thirty-two-year-old Toyotomi Hidemo."
Several people nodded slightly to express their understanding.
Qi Xuansu couldn't help but sigh in his heart. It was really powerful to appoint a candidate for the master of a continent. This was just Qingwei Zhenren, one of the "Crown Princes". If he was a great leader, how majestic would he be?
Li Tiangang added: "It is precisely because the Omi faction has never intervened in the situation in Hidekyo, and Qingwei Zhenren hastily made important decisions, so Toyotomi Hidemo is still in Omi. The key now is to keep Toyotomi Hidemo alive.
When you come to Hidekyo to inherit the throne, you can't die midway. After careful calculation, Toyotomi Hidetsugi, his predecessor Laonaka Masahiro, the elder Naodada, and Toyotomi Hideho all died in assassinations or assassinations, even ours
The real person in charge of the army suffered an assassination. It is expected that Toyotomi Hidemo's arrival in Beijing will not be smooth sailing."
Qi Xuansu and others all looked solemn.
It has to be said that the atmosphere in Fenglinzhou is like this. It is common for those below to defeat the superiors, and assassination is the norm. If the problem cannot be solved, people will be killed. No matter what status they are, from the emperor Guan Bai to the ordinary deputy, they can kill everyone.
Li Tiangang said: "The Taoist government attaches great importance to the camp. There is a saying recently that there are four people in the Taoist sect's Sanxiu. Now, except Yao Fuli who has not arrived at Fenglinzhou, the other three have arrived. They are all the younger generation of our Taoist sect."
There are truly talented people among them, which shows that the real person in charge of the army attaches great importance to this matter and cannot make any mistakes."
Zhang Yuelu asked: "What are the specific arrangements?"
Li Tiangang said: "We have evaluated that whether we go by land or by sea, the risk is too great. The best option is to go by air. In addition, this matter involves various forces within Prime Minister Toyotomi's government, so it is difficult to keep it secret.
Therefore, the camp decided to dispatch a 'Yinglong' to us, not only just in case, but also to give the future regent Guan Bai enough courtesy. The five of us temporarily formed a five-person group. If anything happens, we will discuss it together.
It depends.”
Zhang Yuelu thought for a while and said, "I have no objection."
Qi Xuansu's wife sang to her husband: "I also
Same."
As a descendant of the Li family, Li Changge would certainly not disrupt matters decided by Master Qingwei.
Next is to discuss some specific details.
Logically speaking, Qi Xuansu, Zhang Yuelu, and Li Changge are not comparable to Li Tiangang and Ding Weiling, regardless of their Taoist rank or current positions. However, it is only at this time that the special status of Li and Zhang is revealed.
, Xiao Guoshi, Xiao Zhangtang are not called for nothing. People always have to think about the future. If you don’t sell your favor now, why don’t you wait until someone becomes a big master? Qi Xuansu followed the two of them to get the glory, and the four of them cannot be equal.
At the same level, Qi Xuansu is just a subordinate, which is too ugly, and Qi Xuansu also has a bright future in the future.
Li Changge asked: "How many spiritual officers are there in total?"
Ding Wei Lingguan finally spoke: "Four hundred Lingguan is the minimum number of people required to maintain a normal flight of a Yinglong. Don't expect the various formations of the Yinglong. Now the Taoist sect is still arresting and assassinating people everywhere.
Qingwei Zhenren's assassins also need to stabilize the situation in Xiujing, hunt down the 'Zunbang Faction', as well as garrison in various places, counter rebellion, etc. Before all the imperial troops arrive, there is a serious shortage of manpower and it is impossible to send too many to us.
Furthermore, since it is an assassination, it will not be a confrontation between two armies, and the manpower is more expensive than the elite."
In fact, it was not until yesterday that Qingweizhen had coordinated all the forces, especially the Owari family and the Enji family, and truly decided on the candidate for Guan Bai in the future. Therefore, Li Changge had just participated in this matter and did not know anything about it.
No more than Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu.
Zhang Yuelu asked again: "Is the Omi side ready?"
Li Tiangang said: "We have already communicated. As soon as we arrive, we will pick up the people and return immediately. We will try to go and return on the same day."
Zhang Yuelu said: "A quick victory, the sooner the better. Not only are we acting hastily, but the assassins who are preparing to take action will also be hasty. It's even."
"That's the truth." Ding Weilingguan stood up and said, "It's better not to delay things, otherwise things will change if they are delayed. Let's set off now."
