For Daming, Toyotomi Hideyoshi was an unstable factor. Only when Toyotomi Hideyoshi died would the most stable thing. Daming didn't care who killed him, as long as he died.
Zhang Weixian didn't feel pressured at all to encourage Toyotomi Hiuji. It was more appropriate.
"By the way, there's one more thing I want to tell you!"
Zhang Weixian put down the wine glass in his hand, looked at Toyotomi Hiuji and said, "Besides you, I also contacted other people."
"Some agreed, and some didn't. You should know Tokugawa Ieyasu, right?
The person we contacted came back with news yesterday. He has agreed, and the conditions are the same as yours.
Whoever can do it, Daming will support him. However, I doesn't know what Tokugawa Ieyasu will do for now. "
"Think about it. Once Tokugawa Ieyasu does it, I'm afraid you won't have a good ending. At that time, I'm afraid I won't be able to help you."
Zhang Weixian decisively sold out Tokugawa Ieyasu. He didn't feel any psychological pressure at all. When a dog bites another dog, Zhang Weixian didn't care.
Even Zhang Weixian thought that Toyotomi Hiuji would tell Toyotomi Hideyoshi when he went back, and then Toyotomi Hideyoshi would look for trouble with Tokugawa Ieyasu. Who knew if this was a trap?
If Toyotomi Hideyoshi dared to kill Tokugawa Ieyasu, Zhang Weixian would jump with joy. Quick, quick, kill him.
Zhang Weixian was fine, but Toyotomi Hiuji was in a bad mood. This Daming Grand Marshal had said that Tokugawa Ieyasu wanted to kill Toyotomi Hideyoshi and join the Daming Family. Was this believable?
Should he go back and tell Toyotomi Hideyoshi?
What if Toyotomi Hideyoshi thinks it's a ploy to sow discord?
If he didn't say it, wouldn't that mean he was hiding something?
Taking a glance at Zhang Weixian, Toyotomi Hideji could tell that this Daming Grand Marshal was forcing him in various ways.
After a moment of silence, Hideji slowly said, "I know what to do!"
Zhang Weixian nodded in satisfaction. This Hideji was not bad. He was right about him.
After Toyotomi Hideji left, Zhang Weixian said to Wei Chao, who was next to him, "Ask our men to spread the news that Toyotomi Hideji's men have already negotiated with us."
"When the time comes, whoever kills Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Daming will support him to become the new king of the Japanese Empire."
Wei Dynasty glanced at Zhang Weixian. He knew that his Grand Marshal would not simply encourage Hideji. As expected, he had a backup plan, and it was definitely a vicious one.
As soon as the news spread, many people could not sit still. Toyotomi Hideyoshi would probably become paranoid.
Under such circumstances, Toyotomi Hideyoshi was already scared out of his wits. He was shocked three times a day. Now, he did not know if his old bones could still take it.
After Hideji returned to Fushimi Castle, he immediately heard the news. He did not know if Toyotomi Hideyoshi was scared, but Hideji was.
What did he mean by someone had negotiated with Daming?
What did he mean by someone wanted to kill Toyotomi Hideyoshi and join Daming?
Wasn't he talking about himself?
However, Toyotomi Hideji soon calmed down. This was because this news was most likely released by the Great Ming Dynasty's commander.
Hideji believed that he was not the only one who had negotiated with Daming. Tokugawa Ieyasu's news might be true.
After walking into Toyotomi Hideyoshi's residence, Hideji tried his best to calm down. After walking in, Hideji immediately saw Toyotomi Hideyoshi. The old man who used to be arrogant was now very depressed.
Even so, Hideji did not dare to underestimate him because he was cleaning a knife.
Obviously, Toyotomi Hideyoshi was mentally prepared. He was ready to die. At this time, Toyotomi Hideyoshi was undoubtedly the craziest.
Hideji knew that Daming wanted to kill Toyotomi Hideyoshi no matter what. To put it bluntly, he wanted to establish his power. He wanted to tell the Japanese Empire that whoever Daming wanted to kill would not live. It was useless even if they surrendered.
Toyotomi Hideyoshi was the most famous person in the Japanese Empire in recent years. Even Oda Nobunaga could not compare to him. If Toyotomi Hideyoshi was killed, who would dare to resist Daming?
"Father!" Hideji looked at Toyotomi Hideyoshi and knelt on the ground respectfully.
"What did Daming's commander say?"
Toyotomi Hideyoshi put the knife back into the scabbard, but his hand did not leave the handle. He looked at Hideji sharply and asked, "Did he agree to negotiate?"
"No!"
Hideji said respectfully, "Daming's commander said that father must die. If father is willing to commit suicide, then Daming can save Hideyoshi."
When Hideji said this, he lowered his head and did not look at Toyotomi Hideyoshi. This was an idea that Hideji thought of himself.
Who did Toyotomi Hideyoshi care about the most?
Hideji knew very well that it was Toyotomi Hideyoshi's only son, Toyotomi Hideyoshi.
Toyotomi Hideyoshi did not want to bear the infamy of killing Toyotomi Hideyoshi, but Toyotomi Hideyoshi had to die. Therefore, Hideji thought of this idea.
Fengchen Hideji believed that as long as Fengchen Hideyoshi committed suicide, Fengchen Hideyori would definitely not be a problem. The Great Ming Dynasty would definitely not kill Fengchen Hideyori. They would wait another two years before letting Fengchen Hideyori die.
At that time, who would still remember Toyotomi Hideyoshi? Once he was in power, a purge was necessary.
When he held real power, Hideyoshi would be an existence that could be crushed at any time.
In Hideji's opinion, Toyotomi Hideyoshi committing suicide was the best choice. This was the best idea that Hideji could think of.
Toyotomi Hideyoshi looked at Hideji with a smile on his face, but his heart was getting colder.
Fengchen Hideyoshi didn't believe Fengchen Hideji's words at all. However, if it was true, then Fengchen Hideyoshi really dared to die. However, he couldn't listen to Fengchen Hideji.
"Okay, I got it!"
Toyotomi Hideyoshi nodded and did not ask any more questions. "Okay, you can leave!"
"I still have to fight first!"
Toyotomi Hideyoshi's expression became serious. At this moment, he had also made up his mind. Even if he wanted to surrender, he would have to wait until he defeated Daming's army a few times.
If he did not show enough strength, it would be impossible to gain Daming's respect. He would not even have the right to surrender.
At the same time that Toyotomi Hideyoshi made up his mind, another person also made up his mind. This person was Tokugawa Ieyasu.
In the secret room of Tokugawa Ieyasu's residence.
Tokugawa Ieyasu was meeting someone. This person was not very tall, but he was abnormally strong.
Tokugawa Ieyasu turned to look at the man and said slowly, "Hattori, this time it is a matter of life and death. I will not hide it from you."
"Please instruct me!" Hattori Hanzo lowered his head and said firmly.
"I need you to kill Toyotomi Hideyoshi!" Tokugawa Ieyasu said calmly. "Bring your ninja army!"
