Edo Traveler - Vol 13 Chapter 13

Latest Website: No matter what other people think, Emperor Xiaoming immediately burst into tears when he heard that the Kasuga Mirror had self-destructed.

The offspring are unworthy!

How come I, the emperor, have done a good job, and have not done anything that hurts the heavens and the law. Talk about a son, a son can’t be born. Jiangshan, Jiangshan is still full of foreigners. Alright now, Amaterasu was furious, and the mirrors were self-destructed.

The first thing to do, immediately send someone to Ise Jingu to pay homage to Yata Mirror. The other divine mirrors, that can comfort oneself, can be regarded as the avatar of Amaterasu. The side inside the Ise Shrine is the sacred artifact of the country, representing the deity of Amaterasu.

As long as the deity is fine, then Amaterasu is just a little angry. I can try to make amends and get forgiveness from Amaterasu.

The second thing is the decree.

Don’t worry, Xiaoming Emperor’s sect of the shogun, for a while, didn’t think about embarrassing the shogunate. He just made an order to the shogunate, hoping that the shogunate would quickly help the widows and lonely people in the world, do some kind deeds, and see if Amaterasu can forgive him.

This will, he did not need anyone to push him, he gave it himself. Moreover, the imperial decree was written by Mijo Mijo near his life, stamped with a seal on the spot, and sent it to Edo by train.

I feel that Emperor Xiaoming’s bottom line of the kingdom of God is also very flexible. He is against foreigners, and he doesn’t like foreign things very much. But generally speaking, he is invisible, and if you tell him that this gold timepiece is purely handmade by Japanese craftsmen and has never touched the hands of foreigners, he can accept it.

The imperial envoy took the Tokugawa flag book to drive the train, and it didn’t seem to be a big deal.

It’s a very interesting standard of harassment.

When Goto was delivered to Edo a day later, Chuemon first said “Ha!”, and then laughed heartily. In the end, it is Emperor Xiaoming, and in this mind, it is indeed a set of feudal things, and it does not leave at all.

When the mirror was broken, Chuemon’s first reaction was that someone wanted to mess with me, and Emperor Xiaoming’s first reaction was that I messed up someone?

Come on, you must listen to what this imperial decree says. The shogunate ministers on the left and right have no objection, and it is always pity for the poor. It belongs to the good governance of the feudal era, and there is no problem at all.

Matsudaira Qixuan turned his head to correct Shimadzu’s definition, and immediately transferred 15,000 taels of cash, and ordered the emissary to bring it back to Kyoto. The emperor Yu Xiaoming was a good person and distributed it to the people in Shancheng to soothe his shocked heart.

Then the shogunate can’t be left behind, and it has to reward goodness and help the poor. Therefore, when opening the imperial rice storage, all Edo people can receive two liters of imperial rice. The second is to commend loyalty, filial piety and righteousness, so that the world can learn.

As for filial piety, there is exactly one case, Ami, the filial daughter of Zhou Fangguo, who is sixty-two years old. His mother died when he was six years old. Because his family was poor, his father entrusted him to his mother-in-law and went out to work as a servant to earn money. Six years later, his father fell ill due to hard work, and Ami began to take care of him from then on.

This Ami is less than 1.2 meters tall, with a small body and weak body. When helping the neighbors pounding rice, for the sake of his strength when pounding rice, he tied stones around his waist all the year round, and his back was hunched at a young age. At night, silkworms are raised and clothed, day and night.

Seeing her working so hard, her father quietly rushed to commit suicide by throwing water into the water. Ami desperately jumped into the water to save people, and from then on guarded her father day and night. He tried his best to try to make his father feel better. However, a few years later, his father eventually died. She began to observe filial piety and never married.

Impressive, honest and filial!

The shogunate naturally needs to vigorously commend such filial daughters, so what else is there to say. Not only should we give her money and rice to be able to have enough food and clothing, but also spread her deeds all over the world in various forms.

In the end, I ordered all the vassals in the world to visit the orphans in the vassal, and if no one was able to raise them, they would be sent to the Koishikawa Health Center in Edo. The shogunate took care of their meals, and then went to primary school, read and read, and at the age of thirteen or fourteen, they could basically be apprentices to shop owners or something, making a living on their own.

“Nara hasn’t sent a letter back yet?” Chuemon asked Matsudaira Qixuan again after dealing with the imperial edict.

The manpower sent by Edo and the manpower of the Shinsengumi have also been investigated at Kasuga Taisha Shrine for two or three days. These days monks are all registered, it is unlikely that there will be any impersonation monks, and it is better to investigate the movement of people.

The monks who are often in the temple, if they do something, and there is no airtight wall under the sky, they will leave some clues.

“There is no letter yet.” The telegram is now very fast, and the news from Kyoto can be sent to the book table of the Hitotsubashi Residence within an hour.

“Hmm…” Chuyouemon didn’t expect that the mirror had been broken for three or four days, and no one jumped out yet.

“Let’s go today, let’s go back to the office.” Chungemon gestured to Suke six and asked him to wait for a while.

When they were finished, Chuemon asked Suke six if the Shinsengumi had sent someone to send any letters in private.

Message!

It’s not that they can’t trust the telegram, but that the telegraph office is set up in the Nijo Imperial Palace, and Matsudaira Keiyung lives there. When the construction of the Xinxuan Group Village is completed, a special line will have to be taken in. Now, just in case, Chuemon has ordered Mr. Okita to select two clever team members, and if necessary, take the train to Edo to deliver the letter in person.

The current trend of Matsudaira Qingyong is a very necessary thing, and a message should be used.

“I’ve never seen it before.” Sukeliu’s cheap father, Jinmaru Yoshijing, is still alive and kicking. He is working as an apartment at home. If someone in the family came to the door, he would definitely report to Sukeliu immediately.

“…” Chuemon groaned.

This kid, Matsudaira Qingyong, is quite calm, and he doesn’t jump out of such a big thing. In the past, he was someone who had to stir up the triple wave even without wind, but he became a lot more obedient after taking up the position of guardian of Kyoto.

“You arrange someone, tell the other side, and report it immediately.” That’s all.

Hundreds of kilometers away, Songping Qingyong heard that Emperor Xiaoming immediately issued an imperial decree to provide relief to the poor, and he was a little confused for a while. Are the valet around him dead? No one took this opportunity to show filial piety to the emperor?

Co-authoring the money that I spent in the past to be friends with Gongqing was all in vain. It was fed to a bunch of **** ministers who had no use for birds.

Songping Qingyong scolded and asked his retainers, and the further development of the ban was impossible to guess for a while. Is it necessary to spread rumors of divine condemnation, to create public opinion that the shogunate was ineffective in fighting the foreigners, and caused the wrath of Amaterasu?

Hashimoto Zuodao knew for a long time that the emperor and the ministers might not be able to rely on them, but this is fine, the waste will not need to be separated in the future. It’s just that if the trash can’t take them, it will also affect the next move.

“My lord, you might as well throw a stone and ask for directions.”
