Edo Traveler - Vol 13 Chapter 11
The news has reached Edo, and it is estimated that Chen Yucheng is probably gone.
He was deceived by Miao Peilin and was suddenly captured. The incident happened in Shouzhou, and when the news spread from Shouzhou to Shanghai, the British man named Lindley scrambled for the troop wheel, which shocked the British and French ministers.
I am afraid that a month has passed. According to Chuyouemon’s memory, the Qing court heard that the “big thief four-eyed dog” was arrested. Immediately order, stop escorting the capital, and kill him immediately to avoid trouble. Therefore, just a few days after Chen Yucheng was captured, he was executed by Ling Chi on the way to escort.
Don’t think so much…
Jose was dismissed anyway, and Chuemon turned his mind back to the country. It’s not a big deal for a while, but in this world, everything is done against people. Chuemon was just about to lie down for a while when this happened.
Haruhi Mirror self-destructs!
What does that mean? That is to say, the divine mirror enshrined in the Kasuga Taisha Shrine in Nara was torn apart and destroyed by himself.
Ordinary people may not understand the meaning of the so-called mirror in Japanese culture. The mirror culture actually originated from the worship of the sun in ancient times. Everyone should know that Amaterasu in Japan is the sun **** in Japanese mythology.
It is said that in the beginning, Japan simply worshipped the sun, moon, and stars, which is normal. Then in the period of Cao Wei, the Queen of Yamatai sent an envoy to Luoyang, and got the official canonization of the Cao Wei regime. Among the gifts given, there are one hundred bronze mirrors.
This matter is clearly recorded in the “Three Kingdoms”, and Japan also preserves one of the hundred bronze mirrors. The inscription of the three years of Qinglong on it is the era name of Emperor Weiming Cao Rui.
Yamatai people held the bronze mirror and were surprised to find that the bronze mirror facing the sun could reflect the same bright and warm light as the sun. So the mirror was born. In Japanese Shinto culture, it is believed that Amaterasu is possessed by the bronze mirror.
When the shrines worship bronze mirrors, it is equivalent to worshiping Amaterasu. The mirror is the figurative existence of Amaterasu, and basically all major shrines have it.
One of the three artifacts that everyone should know about, “Yagata Mirror”, is actually the God of Amaterasu “Goreyo” enshrined in Ise Shrine.
As a large shrine as famous as Ise Jingu, Kasuga Shrine is an important religious facility built to pray for the safety of Kyoto. After so many years, the mirror has been fine, but this year it suddenly self-destructed, which shocked everyone at the shrine.
So the news was immediately passed on to Kyoto. After the Kyoto guardian, Matsudaira Keiyong, learned about it. On the one hand, he sent someone to report the matter to Jinzhong Neri, and on the other hand, Pegasus also notified Edo.
At this time in Japan, the atmosphere of gods and Buddhas is strong, and the self-destruction of the Kasuga mirror is very important!
And Matsudaira Qingyong himself immediately summoned his ministers to discuss the matter. After all, the bronze mirror is normally placed there, and it is impossible to destroy it for thousands of years. This is the case with the bronze mirror in the three years of Qinglong. Moreover, this matter is related to Kasuga Taisha Shrine, which guards Kyoto, and also involves the Japanese sun **** Amaterasu, which should not be underestimated.
When Hashimoto Zuochi heard about this, he was overjoyed. He grabbed Songping Qingyong’s hand, then greeted the other advisors on the left and right, and said a shocking sentence.
“This is the omen of the scourge!”
“Hey…” The audience gasped, feeling incredible.
“Our country is a country created by the great **** Amaterasu. Since the emperor Shenwu, it has been in a line for all generations. Now the mirror of Zhenguo Kasuga Taisha self-destruction is warning us. The pure land of the kingdom of gods has been defiled by foreigners, and the foreigners must be removed immediately. , to correct the country!” Hashimoto Zuochi’s eyes were full of excitement and excitement.
When Matsudaira Qingyong and Xiaoming Emperor played against each other before, they also talked about the rejection of foreigners. Emperor Xiaoming of course supported the rejection of the barbarians, but he was still hesitant in his heart. He was worried that the shogunate was not willing to expel the barbarians immediately.
The people around him kept persuading him. But he always insisted on one point, that is Samu!
It’s okay to fight foreigners, but the shogunate has to protect it. How did my father pass on the country to me, and how I will pass it on to the next generation. When my father had a shogunate, then when my son had a shogunate, he also had to have a shogunate.
And I’m busy giving birth to my son right now, so I really don’t have much time to worry about it.
For such an extremely old-fashioned emperor, even if there are three real and beautiful messages in secret, Matsudaira Keiyong has no way to get Emperor Xiaoming to issue the imperial decree of the feudal lords to discuss the major event of the extermination of foreigners.
Well now, God has given me an excuse for nothing. With the conservative character of Emperor Xiaoming, he would definitely die in a hurry. He was full of thoughts about whether he had offended the ancestors, and what did he do badly, which caused the ancestors to drop the divine condemnation, causing the Kasuga mirror that guards the capital of the country to self-destruct.
Perhaps if he said tens of thousands of words before, it is better to say one sentence of Kasuga Shenjing’s self-destruction.
“That’s it!” Nakagen Xuejiang, another advisor who sat down, responded immediately.
The two conspirators spoke in unison, causing Songping Qingyong’s heart to stir. It seems that this explanation is not correct at all, and it should be exactly what it means.
If you talk about these things of the Shinto and Shinto Dao and still believe people at the level of Songping Keiyong, that is nonsense. Ever since the words “Prince and general Xiangning has a seed!” were shouted out, this thing of God began to slowly fall.
During the Warring States Period of Japan, Tokugawa Ieyasu burned Mikawa Honzheng Temple, and Oda Nobunaga burned Hieizan Enryakuji Temple. Is it possible that the gods and Buddhas also brought disasters to kill these two people?
Up to now, the former Tokugawa Qi Zhao has confiscated many temple properties in Lingnei temples, and also used the temple’s bronze Buddha and bronze bells to cast artillery. Fools and fools believe this, they play politics
Dear, UU reading www.uukanshu. com This chapter is not over, and there is a next page ^0^ How can I really believe it.
That is, filial piety to the existence of a “human god” such as the Emperor Ming was instilled from childhood that he was the descendant of Amaterasu, and that he was a **** different from ordinary people. And people who are the core of Japan’s Shinto forces themselves will believe in this set of things from the inside out.
Or at least, on the surface, you must believe in this set of things.
“As long as the ban is on the way, great things will happen.” Zuo Nai Hashimoto let go of Matsudaira Keiyong’s hand, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible to do so.
Even if Emperor Xiaoming was just perfunctory and wanted to summon the general Tokugawa Zhongzheng to come to Kyoto to discuss the matter, then even if he reconfirmed the fact that the whole of Japan, Emperor Xiaoming was the king, and Tokugawa Zhongzheng was only one of the ministers.
With this fact, subsequent things can continue to work. As for how to operate the general to serve as a minister in the same hall as Songping Qingyong? There will always be a way, and there must be a way for the car to the front of the mountain.
