Edo Traveler - Vol 13 Chapter 33

“Beijing has issued imperial decrees to the princes!”

When Chuemon heard the words, he was surprised at first, and then he was overjoyed. It was great, great. Which big baby gave Emperor Xiaoming a good suggestion.

Now this situation, it is completely in line with your unkindness, and I am unrighteous. I myself have not hurt the imperial court, and I have never been in arrears with my annual salary. Even if the imperial decree ordered Shangluo this time, it would only be a matter of negotiating with the imperial court to change it to Edo. From beginning to end, I was a white lotus.

Clean, clean, clean!

what’s going on? I am such a white lotus flower, you want to harm me? Then I really have no choice but to raise my fist angrily and have a good match with you.

Suke Liu, who hurried in, was still sweating slightly on his face. Edo has only just announced the beginning of spring, and it is not hot at all. This is obviously running all the way.

“The minister also got the imperial decree and was ordered to go to Luoyang.” Zhu Liu really ran all the way, and he was a little breathless when he spoke.

It is really too big of a thing. The emperor has overstepped the general and issued an imperial decree to the princes of the world in an open, formal, and commanding tone. This is the first time that the shogunate has been established for more than 200 years.

“What? You are preparing to go to Luo by edict.” Chungemon was in a good mood, and he couldn’t help but tease and help Liu.

I was still thinking about how the famous abolition of the emperor’s lineage should be made, and now the imperial court has put the gun in the hands of Chuemon, how can I be unhappy.

“Shangqi is joking.” Zu Liu sat down and finally caught his breath.

“It’s a big deal, a big deal, a big deal…” Before Zu Liu could sit still, he saw Songping Qi Xuan also ran in with all his life.

Because Songping Qixuan injured his internal organs, not only his voice became very unpleasant, but he couldn’t run fast. Since he couldn’t run fast, he naturally ran to Chuemon’s house later than Sukeroku.

“Got it.” Chuemon signaled him to sit down and take a rest, stop shouting.

However, the scene of Matsudaira Qixuan was repeated in the next few minutes, so that Kanosuke, who stood aside and amused Chuemon, thought that today was an endless day.

After all, a group of men with basically the same height, body shape, hairstyle, and clothes all rushed to Chuemon’s house with the same expression and one state. For a child who didn’t go to elementary school, it was really hard to tell them apart.

“Kanosuke, go play by yourself.” Chuemon gestured to the maid.

Kanosuke’s mother, Ami, was born by caesarean section. Just in case, Chuemon was not going to have another child with her, so Chuemon was a little more concerned about Kanosuke. After all, other brothers and sisters all have their own siblings to play with, so he is the only one.

“Everyone, are you all seated?” Looking at the group of panting shogunate ministers, Zhongyouemon was afraid that they would be out of breath.

Especially Ooka Tadashi, his appearance, his face was a little pale, it was scary.

“How about sitting and watching his changes for two or three days before discussing?”

“The princes in the manor are at a loss.” Zhu Liu himself had no idea. Who would have thought that the imperial court would immediately issue an imperial decree.

General Tokugawa Zhongzheng Ai will not come, you lords will come first, if it’s a big deal, discuss a result first, and tell the general later.

“If you want to go to Luo, let him go.” Zhongyouemon also sat down, very determined.

Originally, this time period was when the princes of the prefecture left Edo and the princes of the country came to explain. The princes of Edo should leave, but whether they choose to go back to their vassal state or go to Kyoto to mix in the muddy water, then we can’t control it.

In other words, you don’t have to worry about them, and jumping out a few more people will also facilitate the shogunate to kill a few more chickens in the future. It can also save a few counts and viscounts, save a little salary, and save some people from being upset.

“The Marquis of Changzhou, the Marquis of Tuzuo, and the Marquis of Fukuoka don’t matter?” Matsudaira Qixuan knew the secret plan of Chungyouemon, so he deliberately ordered Maori to respect his relatives, fearing that just saying that he would raise suspicions.

If Maori Jingqin went to Kyoto, then after Yoshida Shoin and the others brought troops into Kyoto, did they kidnap Maori Jingqin to raise troops, or were they controlled by Maori Jingqin? This has to be fully considered. After all, Yoshida Shoin, in the final analysis, was also leading the samurai of the Choshu Domain, not the team he had pulled up by himself.

“Hmm…” Those words really reminded Chuemon.

“Send two or three Mokufu, just monitor the nearest place.” Zu Liuxin thought that you are not worried about his bad things.

It’s not easy, let’s go straight to the grass and startle the snake, and send someone to monitor him in a grand manner. Let him cast his arms against the rat and dare not move casually, so he sits quietly in the mansion and waits and sees how the situation develops.

“Haha, that makes sense.” Chuemon clapped his hands and immediately agreed.

“Then what about the imperial court?” Tokugawa Keibao asked with a little worry.

Although he knew that Chuemon had to change the system of the entire country, making Japan the sole ruler. But after all, it’s such a big event, if there is someone who misunderstands the holy meaning, right, go directly into the forbidden center, and come to a big show of burning the Zichen Hall and attacking the Jianli Gate.

“I ordered Abe to send orders to the imperial court. The country has changed, the sun and the moon are fighting, and the world’s artifacts are only in Tokugawa. In order to seek peace for all ages, I respectfully ask the official family to be seated as the great worship officer of Shinto rituals. UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.com” Chuemon said straightly.

Don’t pretend, I have a clear card.

Now I officially inform you that you should quickly issue the edict of abdication and abdicate to give up the country. Then go to serve Amaterasu and Emperor Shenwu well, and don’t get entangled in any national affairs anymore, it has nothing to do with you.

If you are stubborn, right? Although I didn’t say it explicitly, but you resist the teachings of the shogunate, that is to destroy the peace of Japan for all ages. As the king of Japan at this time, in order to stabilize the world, the shogunate had to raise troops to crusade against “rebels” in order to clear the eight directions and restore the four borders.

“I would like to go to Luoyang to show my righteousness.” Tokugawa Qingbao didn’t argue much, but asked for his life immediately.

In the past few days after returning to Edo, he already felt that the shogunate was preparing for war. He’s just a conservative, not a fool. Everyone can see that Chuemon is preparing for a civil war, can he not see that?

It’s just that he and the Emperor Xiaoming are inseparable, and they are really good friends. If Emperor Xiaoming was kidnapped in the end, or he was bewitched to fight against the shogunate to the end, it would be really hard to say what his life would be.

In Japanese history, it is not that the emperor was forced to kill, or imprisoned to death. When he goes to Kyoto, he always manages to turn around.
