That year, Toyotomi Hideji was 24 years old, and after the death of his little cousin named Tsurumatsu, he naturally became the heir of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the longest-aged man in the Toyotomi family. All this came so quickly that he was adopted as an adopted son in November, and in December Shuji succeeded Himakara and toyotomi as the second generation of the Toyotomi family, and was awarded the title of Shoji Left Minister. Sekibai was already the highest position in Japan, but his uncle Taikaku Toyotomi Hideyoshi only ceded some of his power to him. At this time, Xiuji was already one person below ten thousand people.

During the years of Shuji's tenure as Guan Bai, Toyotomi Hideyoshi devoted all his thoughts to the great fantasy of destroying Korea, invading Daming, and fixing the capital in Beijing. Shuji is mainly responsible for the implementation of internal affairs. He worked hard to do his job well, and his ability was ok, and he received some praise. During the years he followed Hideyoshi, he had his own team and the team that succeeded him. He was a good young man in military, political, and upbringing! Worthy of toyotomi Hideyoshi's trust.
Toyotomi Shuji
That year, at the age of 26, another of his cousins, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, was born. Although my uncle is 55 years old, he firmly believes that this is his own son. Old age, Toyotomi Hideyoshi especially loves Hideyoshi. Now things are awkward, the air begins to fill with tension, and Hideji and Hideyoshi gradually become estranged. Hideji never saw through Hideyoshi's thoughts, and he stayed where he shouldn't be. He even signed an agreement with Hideyoshi to cede one-fifth of Japan's territory to Hideyoshi. This temptation made Hideyoshi very dissatisfied.

This year, Xiuji was 27 years old, and all kinds of evil deeds about Xiuji began to circulate, some people said that he killed people at will, some people said that he broke open the belly of a pregnant woman to take out the baby, and some people said that he was still hunting in Mt. Hiei after the collapse of the emperor (for which he was also named after the title of killing Guan Bai), and all kinds of crimes were simply too numerous to describe. How did a young man who was still good suddenly become the Great Demon King? It is clear that someone is maliciously smearing, just to find more excuses for the next move.
Hideyoshi's equipment
This year, Xiuji was 28 years old, four years after he became the adopted son of his uncle Toyotomi Hideyoshi. The uncle who used to be his strong backer is now going to attack him. Hideji was suspected of plotting a rebellion and wanted to add to the crime, and Hideji had no chance to defend himself. Masanori Fukushima, who had a festival with him, not only stirred up dissension but also prevented Hideji from seeing Hideyoshi. On July 8, 2004, Shuji was exiled to Koyasan and asked to be ordained. He thought it was going to end everywhere, but just 7 days later, Hideji received Hideyoshi's order again, and he was ordered to cut his abdomen. Along with other people involved in the temple, they were also ordered to cut their abdomen.
Shuji's home
How high it once was, how badly it is now being thrown. Toyotomi Hideyoshi even asked him to double his repayment. After his death, Hideji was beheaded and the first rank was brought back to Kyoto Sanjo Kawahara for public display. However, the matter was not over, half a month later, Xiuji's family of 39, including wives, children, and maids, were all escorted to Sanjo Kawahara to be beheaded, and their bodies were exposed after capital punishment. Finally the bodies were thrown together in a hole and buried. Above is placed a stone cabinet, in which is the head of Shuji, and the tomb is inscribed: "Xiuji Evil Rebellion", which is for the Evil Rebellion Tomb or the Animal Tomb.
Evil Rebellion
It is rare for Toyotomi Hideyoshi to be so cruel to his nephew and adopted son, Xiuji, in the entire history of the Warring States. Even the female relatives and daughters did not spare. Not only did Hideyoshi kill Hideyoshi's team, but the Hideji incident implicated many people, including the Toyotomi family's Pudai, such as Kimura Shigetsu and Maeno Nagayasu, who committed suicide, and also killed and exiled a large number of courtiers. This matter cast a serious shadow over the Toyotomi family, the Toyotomi family itself made a fortune of a generation, the foundation is shallow, coupled with the family has infertility genes, the number of people is sparse, so that many daimyo and courtiers have begun to dislike the Toyotomi regime, the family has no one outside and loses the hearts of the people, the toyotomi clan is just around the corner.
