There is a very small temple in front of The town of Sanjo Kawahara, and a stone tablet at the entrance reads "Former Sekibai from the Tomb of a Toyotomi Shujikō." When I walked to the temple, I saw a pagoda on the right hand side, dedicated to Toyotomi Hideyoshi's heir, Toyotomi Hideji, and the bodhi of thirty-nine family members.
In that year, Because Tsurumatsu died at the age of two, toyotomi Hideyoshi adopted his sister's son as an adopted son, that is, Toyotomi Hideji. At that time, Hideyoshi was bent on an expedition to Daimyō, so he ceded the position of Guan Bai to him and appointed himself as Taige. Hideji resides in The Jurakudi office, where he and Hideyoshi greet Emperor Goyō's second visit to Jurakudi.
After the side room Yododo gave birth to Toyotomi Hideyoshi, on the surface, Hideyoshi and Hideji's relationship was not bad. The year before Hideji cut his belly, they feasted and danced together in Fushimi Castle, and went to Yoshino to enjoy the cherry blossoms, and Hideji also presented Hideyoshi with tiger bones to supplement.
However, the following year there were rumors of Hideji's rebellion, and Hideyoshi summoned Hideji to Fushimi Castle several times to plead his case. When Hideji arrived in Fushimi, Hideyoshi did not allow him to meet him at all, and directly let him go to Mount Koya to become a monk. Hideji shaved his hair on the spot and went to Koyasan Aowa-ji Temple. Less than a week later, after receiving the order to die, he committed suicide by caesarean section. Two weeks later, 39 of Hideji's dependents, including girls and children, were sentenced to public executions in Kamogawa.
"The mountains and rivers are full of tears, how long can the wealth and glory be?" There is no only water on the water, only geese flying every year in autumn. It is said that during the execution, four of Shuji's sons, Senchiyomaru, were stabbed to death. This was followed by Shuji's side chamber and female officials serving Shuji. The first to be dragged out and beheaded was a beautiful woman. It is said that Toyotomi Hideyoshi wanted to take the daughter of the right minister as a side room, but was rejected by a unit. One later became Shuji's side room, which may also be a reason for Shuji's guilt.
The fourth-class student, The Fourth 17-year-old Kazuko, the 17th-year-old mother of Sen Chiyo Maru. In-sen Chiyomaru First-class death, Ying-chen-like calmness, etc. The 10-year-old Chin-in-11 Chin'anhuang-in-person "Namyu Amida Buddha" -- Empress Ying-chen,a phrase with a long-term resignation. "The mountain road of the death which starts to be left by taking the life of the rest to put it on". This is the first and last world.
The eleventh to be dragged out was Komagata. She was born into yamagata's highest family. At that time, when Xiuji was on an expedition to the northeast, he saw Komahime, who was only 10 years old, and forced her father, Yoshimitsu Mogami, to offer her as a side room. Yoshimitsu delayed for several years because she was too young. After another four years, Komahime, who has become the first beauty in Tohoku, was appointed as the side room of the show in July. Before he could settle down, he encountered the catastrophe of Xiuji's abdomen and was executed together. Before the execution, Yododo interceded for her. Hideyoshi thought about it and planned to make her a nun, but by the time the soldiers who had passed the order rushed to the scene of the execution, it was already one step too late.
The execution lasted for more than four hours, and the blood of so many people not only stained the sunset red, but also the Kamogawa River. Hideyoshi was not allowed to collect the bodies for them, and the bodies were piled up in a large pit along with the sarcophagus where the first level of the show was placed. Later, their graves were washed away by the Kamogawa River, and it was Saga Hiroshi Kakukura who took out their skeletons and placed them at Seosen-ji Temple on the edge of the Kamogawa River while repairing takasegawa.

At that time, Hideyoshi reprimanded Hideji as an "extremely evil and non-Taoist person", and even the sarcophagus placed in the first rank was engraved with "Hideji Evil Rebellion", in order to pave the way for his son Hideyoshi, Hideyoshi's treatment of the Hideji family was really extreme. Unfortunately, Hideyoshi's measure was self-destructive. The Toyotomi family had no roots, but Hideyoshi was born after he was trusted by Oda Nobunaga, and after the change of Honnōji Temple, he took over Nobunaga's power and became a ten-man, and was given the surname Toyotomi by the emperor, but the family power was already weak. Hideyoshi's ruthless tactics caused a split between the Toyotomi family and his subordinates, and many daimyō fled to Tokugawa Ieyasu.
Did Hideyoshi ever imagine that just twenty years later, in the Osaka Summer Battle, Tokugawa's army was approaching the castle, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi was forced to commit suicide by cutting his abdomen in Osaka Castle? A drink and a peck, is it destined?

... THE END...
If I can live to die, acknowledge and face death, I can get rid of the anxiety about death and the trivialities of life. Only then can I be free to be myself.
