Ming Dynasty: Abandoned baby at the beginning, Zhu let me be the emperor

"Are you really going to betray me, the head of the Toyotomi family?"

Seeing that he was now alone, Toyotomi Hideyoshi was still unwilling to accept this and roared at the retainers behind Toyotomi Aoi.

He believed that he still had prestige in the Toyotomi family.

These retainers may not necessarily support me.

As soon as he finished speaking, the retainers standing behind Toyotomi Aoi finally began to waver.

They looked at each other, hesitant.

"Do you really want to bear the crime of killing the emperor?"

Seeing that his words had successfully shaken these retainers, Toyotomi Hideyoshi was delighted and began to question them again.

Killing the emperor was such a rebellious act, and he believed that these people did not want to bear the infamy that would be despised by generations to come.

Toyotomi Aoi just watched coldly as Toyotomi Hideyoshi tried to persuade these retainers, and did not interrupt.

It wasn't until Toyotomi Hideyoshi passed by that she sneered.

"Princess!"

These wavering retainers shouted hesitantly behind Toyotomi Aoi.

Seeing that these people were still persuaded by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Toyotomi Aoi was not afraid at all. He turned around and looked at them calmly.

"I only have one question for you today."

She spoke slowly, with absolute confidence in what she was about to say.

"You want to follow him and find another emperor and continue to be your retainers. Or you want to follow me and become the minister of the new emperor."

This is Toyotomi Aoi's confidence.

Following Toyotomi Hideyoshi, these retainers were just retainers after all, and all they got was money.

If they follow him, these retainers will have the merit of following the dragon, and they can become ministers and heads of their own families.

What's more, he has the powerful Ming Dynasty behind him.

Although Ander expressed his neutrality, who can guarantee that Ander will not take action in the end?

"The Emperor is dead."

As Toyotomi Aoi spoke, he slashed at the emperor's body again, separating his head from his body.

This move shocked everyone again, and the originally wavering retainers fell silent, weighing the pros and cons.

"My lord princess."

Ander finally spoke from the side, just calling out Toyotomi Aoi.

"It's really not elegant for a princess to do this."

He frowned and looked at the long sword in Toyotomi Aoi's hand that was still bleeding.

"No problem, General. No need to do anything."

Upon hearing this, Toyotomi Aoi turned around and responded with a smile.

Ander's words had helped her a lot.

In fact, Ander had no other intentions, he just felt that beheading was not something that should be done by a princess.

However, in the eyes of these retainers, Ander's actions were undoubtedly a statement of stance.

The reinforcements that the princess sought from the Ming Dynasty eventually stood on the side of the princess.

Since the people from the Ming Dynasty have already expressed their opinions, there is no need to think about it further.

"My lord, I'm offended!"

They shouted apologetically, stepped forward and stood in front of Toyotomi Aoi.

This stop has already shown their choice.

"you……"

Looking at his retainers, he finally chose Toyotomi Aoi. Toyotomi Hideyoshi pointed at them unwillingly but couldn't say a word for a long time.

Now the situation is over, there is no point in saying anything more.

"Father, you can make your choice now."

Toyotomi Aoi finally breathed a sigh of relief, sorted out her feelings, and looked at her father coldly again.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi took a step back and looked at Toyotomi Aoi again.

That cold look was not a joke. If he persisted any longer, Toyotomi Aoi would really kill him just like he killed the emperor.

There was clearly no trace of affection in the look in his eyes.

"You've already done it, what else do you want?"

He lowered his head helplessly and shook it. What to do now was no longer something he could decide.

"From now on, you will be the head of the Toyotomi family."

He sighed, his tone full of disappointment.

Unexpectedly, the Toyotomi family reached the pinnacle of the island nation, but ended up like this.

Fortunately, Toyotomi Aoi still took into account the father-daughter relationship at this moment and did not kill him as well.

"Master of the house."

Seeing that Toyotomi Hideyoshi had given up power, these retainers immediately knelt in front of Toyotomi Aoi.

The true head of the Toyotomi family has finally earned his title.

"Please ask the former head of the family to leave."

Toyotomi Aoi nodded. There were more important things to do now than accepting these people's flattery.

As soon as he finished speaking, several samurai walked up and invited Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who had lost his power, to leave.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who realized the truth, did not resist, but just followed the samurai away obediently.

"My lord, this..."

A retainer stood up and looked down at the emperor's body with some embarrassment.

After all, he was the former emperor. If his body was not handled properly, it would be a big deal.

They didn't dare to act rashly and could only ask Toyotomi Aoi for her opinion.

"Buried with royal rites."

Toyotomi Aoi looked at the emperor with disgust, but even though he was reluctant, he still had him buried with the specifications of a king.

After all, she may not recognize the emperor, but the people below can.

"So, what do we say to the outside world?"

The retainer responded and then asked again.

Since the new lord wanted the emperor to behave respectably, the fact that she killed the emperor with her own hands naturally could not be spread.

"Abbot Faxin saw that the situation was hopeless, so he killed the emperor and then committed suicide."

After leaving a cold remark, Toyotomi Aoi turned around and left everything here to these people to handle.

"General Ander."

She turned and looked at Ander. Her goal had been achieved. What remained was the matter between her and Ander and Daming.

"Congratulations, new head of the family."

Ander also walked over with a smile. As an outsider, he was not as conflicted as the other retainers.

Whether Toyotomi Aoi is the new head of the family or not will not affect his next actions.

"When I completely take over this country, you can go back to Ming Dynasty."

Toyotomi Aoi calmly walked up to Ander and spoke slowly.

She always remembered that her relationship with Ander was just a cooperative one, where both parties got what they needed.

After he conquered the world, Ande returned with the silver he had promised.

"However, I have a condition."

Without waiting for Ander to agree, Toyotomi Aoi spoke again.

The amount of money she promised was not a small sum, so she needed some additional conditions.

"Tell me, I can tell you."

Ander nodded. He couldn't agree to this without permission, but he could still pass on the message.

As for whether they can win, it depends on the negotiations between the two sides.

"I need food."

Toyotomi Aoi said in a deep voice: "After a hundred years of war, all the food has been used by the daimyo to feed his subordinates, and the people are living in poverty. This is the most important thing."
