The long river of history is running endlessly, there are calm waves, there are also waves, let Xiaobian take you into history and understand history.
We mentioned that even the notorious Oda Nobunaga once worked as a marriage counselor, intervening in the conflict between his courtier Hideyoshi Hashiba and his wife Ning Ning (Hokasa-sho)(marriage counselor?). Oda Nobunaga teaches you how to be a wife! ）。 Everyone knows that hideyoshi, the protagonist of the story, can be said to be the spokesman of "heroic lust", and in the process of unifying Japan, he also married beautiful ladies from all walks of life, including the familiar tea tea.
So, how does Hideyoshi, who is now the boss of the "harem", deal with the spoils of the wives of the "harem"? The following is a brief introduction to Hideyoshi's "Imperial Wife Technique". In fact, how many wives and concubines Hideyoshi had in his lifetime has always been different. No matter how much, it is generally believed that he must be "harem three thousand", and beautiful women are often accompanied. However, in fact, the women around Hideyoshi, there are historical records to follow, about eleven or so, most of the others have never appeared.
In addition to the honmei Hokasa-sho Ninnin and the tea of the "Dragon Seed", there is also the lesser-known Matsunomaru Hall. Matsunomaru's real name was Ryuko, and she was originally the wife of Wakasa's guardian Takeda Motoaki, who was said to have been used as a wife by Hideyoshi after Motoaki's death because of her beauty. Ryuko herself was also from the kyogoku clan of the famous samurai family, and her younger brother (also known as an older brother) Kyogoku Takaji married Chacha's second sister, Achu, so Ryuko and Chacha were both harem "sisters" and in-laws. Hideyoshi's harem has famous ladies such as hokushoku, chacha, and Ryuko, and how to govern it is of course a problem that Hideyoshi has to deal with. Here are two examples.
In April of the eighteenth year of Tenshō (1590), Hideyoshi, who had gathered an army of 220,000 men to besiege Odawara Castle, took the form of a long-term siege by land and sea to attack the Hojo family, and he sang day and night in his base camp, Ishigaki Yama castle, and ordered the daimyō to summon his daughters from his country to accompany him, and he also thought of summoning his wife from Osaka Castle to accompany him.
The problem is that Hideyoshi originally wanted to summon tea to Odawara, but in this way, if it is not handled well, it will hurt the face of his wife Ning Ning. In order to achieve balance, at this time Hideyoshi wrote to Ning Ning, saying: "In addition to you, the second is that Cha Cha serves me the most considerate, I hope you help me tell Cha Cha that you will order her to come to Odawara" Hideyoshi although he just wanted to summon Cha Cha to his side, but in order to take care of Ning Ning's face, he did not forget to praise, and also specially let Ning Ning go to Odawara with "sister" tea as his wife, which is considered to be for Ning Ning Liwei. (In fact, historical records confirm that the above-mentioned Dragon Son also went to Odawara later)
Although it was mentioned that Nobunaga had mediated Hideyoshi's conflict with Ning Ning, this did not mean that Hideyoshi hated Ning Ning because he had no children under his knees. In the letters between the two couples, you can also see Hideyoshi's thoughtfulness towards the wife of the chaff that ning ning suffered from gastrointestinal disease one year, and Hideyoshi was out on the expedition, so he wrote a letter of condolence: "I heard that you are much more comfortable, and your appearance has improved, which is really good, so it is good to recover slowly, and I hope to receive good news soon." Remember to take medicine to defecate, the stool will be fine, the next time you write to me, remember to tell me when I defecated" We can imagine from the content that Hideyoshi's care for Ning Ning is not cold because of the group of wives. With the above balance of tea and Ning Ning's psychology, Hideyoshi's care for the wife of the chaff can also be regarded as in place, right?
On the other hand, the above-mentioned beloved wife Kyogoku Ryuko, Hideyoshi is also very fond of, famously the following year Hideyoshi at the flower viewing party she and Cha Cha took the lead in drinking with Hideyoshi and caused a dispute, need Ning Ning and Maeda Toshi's wife Asson to mediate.
In addition, Hideyoshi often takes Ryuko with him when he goes out. In the first year of Bunroku (1592), Hideyoshi took part in the nagoya, and at that time, in addition to Ning Ning, Cha Cha was pregnant and stayed in Osaka, and Ryuko was ordered to accompany him. It can be seen that the status of the dragon is actually no less than that of tea, but it is only worse than having children.
Hideyoshi's love for Ryuko, who is said to be extremely beautiful, is still undiminished. Once, When Ryuko had a patient in the eye, Hideyoshi was very worried, so he wrote a letter every few days to inquire about the condition, and ordered someone to stop the original hot spring renovation project and let Ryuko go to the hot spring to recuperate. It is also ordered not to be used by others. Hideyoshi said, "Everyone knows that if you go to the hot spring, they must say that you are going to go, this is not okay, no one but you can go" After Hideyoshi's death, the childless Dragon Son returned to Otsu Castle, where his younger brother Takaji was, and became a monk, with his husband Jun Hideyoshi. In the Battle of Otsu Castle, which broke out in the Battle of Sekigahara, Ryuko almost died under the artillery attack of the Western Army, but in the end, Ning Ning and Chacha intervened to stop the Western Army's attack, and Ryuko was rescued.
In addition, the editor believes that hideyoshi, who is tender like water, also has another side, in addition to the wife who is favored by Hideyoshi, there are also some wives who are sold by Hideyoshi as items to the courtiers, the most famous of which is Kaomi. Legend has it that because Hideyoshi lost chess to Date Masamune's important minister Shigeto Tsunemoto, he gave Tsunamoto the Kamito who had served next to him that day, but Tsunamoto did not dare to accept it, so he ceded Kagami to the lord Masamune. It can be seen that there are not many women who are favored by Hideyoshi, and once they are not pampered, they will also end up being sold, and those who are pampered will be pampered in every way. In any case, Hideyoshi's tenderness for his beloved wives is like water, not only tea is unique, and Hideyoshi, who unifies the world, still has his hand in handling the boudoir atmosphere.
