The chief of Xiyuan Temple was wrong, deeply wrong.

When I opened the first box before, the chief of Xiyuan Temple roughly estimated the size of the box and the size of the gold judgment in it, and the box was 100 gold judgments, and if it was placed in Kyoto, it would be at least 2,000 yuan.

And when Soji Tsugawa opened the remaining 9 boxes in a row, the chief of Saionji almost peed!

I thought the other boxes contained other things, but they turned out to be all gold!

Nowadays, the "uselessness" of the imperial court and the weakness of the shogunate are well known, so although other forces are extremely welcoming to the matter of the imperial court sending people to "reach out and ask for money" on the surface, they are actually quite resistant. So most people just give a few tens of hundreds of perfunctory passes, and some local tyrants are just a few hundred.

But today, the worldview of the prince of Saionji has been refreshed by Soharu Tsugawa! This is really inhumane!

In the shocked eyes of the head of Saionji, Soji Tsugawa continued, "Saionji Temple, there are a total of 1,000 gold coins and 200 gold judgments here!" ”

"These 1,000 gold coins were made overnight by skilled craftsmen in the family's life, and the local tyrants on the gold coins were cast according to the ornament of His Majesty the Emperor, which is unique in the world, and was recast from 500 gold coins and re-melting furnaces."

"These 1,000 gold coins were presented to His Majesty the Emperor by the family alone, and I heard that His Majesty the Emperor was very pleased with the succession ceremony of that year. I was very dissatisfied, and this money was regarded as a donation from the family for His Majesty the Emperor to re-hold the succession ceremony and the Great Tasting Party, which was considered to be the intention of the family! ”

As for the other 200 gold judgments, they were presented by the family alone to the ministers of Kyoto. Now that the situation is turbulent, it is precisely because of the tiring and running of loyal ministers such as the Xiyuan Temple that the Heavenly Dao will not collapse, and the 200 gold judgment is only 200 gold judgments, and I hope that the Xiyuan Temple Hall will accept it no matter what! Saying that, Soji Tsugawa looked at the chief of Xiyuan Temple with a serious face, as if he was afraid that the chief of Xiyuan Temple would not accept it.

And what the chief of Xiyuan Temple thought in his heart was, "Don't be a fool, this is 14,000 yuan!" ”

For today's imperial court, what is the concept of fourteen thousand?

To give a very simple example, the shogunate and the daimyo from all over the country donated only 700 kan to the imperial court every year, and only 3 or 400 kan when it was low. Fourteen thousand guan is enough for the income of the imperial court for nearly 30 years (referring to the donations received by the imperial court).

"Tsugawaden!"

"Tsugawaden!"

"I ..... I can't put into words the admiration in my heart. A loyal person like Tsugawa Hall is simply the best in the world! ”

"I have a proposal, I don't know if to talk about it?" The chief of Xiyuan Temple said excitedly.

Tsugawa Soji smiled, and then said slowly, "Please also ask the Xiyuan Temple to speak up." ”

"Such a rich gift from the Tsugawa family is an unprecedented feat, and I would like to mention His Majesty the Emperor and all the ministers thank you Tsugawa Palace! It's just that this land of Dewa is far away from Kyoto, and I'm worried about ...... along the way After all, this is a golden sentence worth more than 10,000 yuan. ”

"What's more, the Tsugawa family has such a rich gift, how can the Tsugawa Palace, who is the person who gave the gift, not personally go to the throne of His Majesty the Emperor to express the Tsugawa family's ambition to serve the country with his fists?" The chief of Saionji continued.

Hearing the words of the Chief of Saionji, Soji Tsugawa frowned, and then said, "The Chief of Saionji means ......"

"Shangluo!" The head of Xiyuan Temple said with an excited face, "No matter what angle you think about it, the words of Tsugawa Hall to go to Luo in person are the best results!" ”

Of course, the Shangluo in the mouth of the head of Xiyuan Temple is not to let Tsugawa Soji take the Tsugawa family's troops to Shangluo, but to go to Luo in private, this kind of thing is very common. But Tsugawa Soji also has his own concerns, after all, if he goes to Luo, he will have to stay away from the territory, and he doesn't know anything about Kyoto, so he doesn't know if there will be any danger at that time.

But what the chief of Xiyuan Temple said is also good, this is a gift worth more than 10,000 yuan, not to mention the safety issues of letting the chief of Xiyuan Temple take so many golden judgments back along the way. But even after it arrives, will there be a secret secretary in Kyoto...., and the Tsugawa family will not lose a lot at that time.

Just as Tsugawa Soji hesitated, Togo Yoshiyu, an important minister next to him, said with a worried face, "Lord, the matter of Shangluo is naturally not unavoidable, but according to the opinion of the following, there is no need for the lord to go out in person, just send a retainer to go on his behalf, I don't know what the lord will do?" ”

"No!" As soon as Togo Yoshiyu's words fell, the head of Saionji Temple, who was sitting in front of him, spoke, "This time, Kamiraku is here to pay homage to His Majesty the Emperor, and it is necessary to go to Tsugawa Hall in person. Isn't it too rude to just say a retainer? ”

"Hmm." Hearing the words of the head of Saionji, Tsugawa Soji nodded, and then said, "Since this is the case, then the family will go to Luo in person!" ”

Togo Yoshisuke on the side of the "Lord ....." wanted to say something, but was stopped by a look from Soji Tsugawa.

Tsugawa Soji also knew that there would be a certain risk if he went to Luo in person, but in order to achieve the most ideal effect of his more than 10,000 passes, he really had to go out himself.

Why would you want to hold such a banquet in Ueno Castle? Is it just to show off his wealth to the chief of Xiyuan Temple? Of course not!

Tsugawa Soji just wanted the imperial court to see the strength of the Tsugawa family now, and let the ministers know that there was a powerful daimyo like the Tsugawa family in the remote land of Okuwa. Increasing the prestige and influence of the Tsugawa family is the ultimate goal of Tsugawa Soji.

Although the prestige of the imperial court is now gone, it is not useless!

A simple example, the name of righteousness! The so-called people in the court are good officials, and if the Tsugawa family wants to fight anyone in the future, they can completely ask the secretary of the court or directly with the emperor for an "edict to beg for thieves". Don't underestimate this righteous name, with this, the Tsugawa family can justifiably beat whoever they want, and no one dares to make a hindrance from it, this is righteousness!

Therefore, after thinking about it, Tsukawa Soji decided that it was imperative to go to Luo.

As for safety, you don't have to worry too much, you can bring some flagbooks, and Yoshino Ryoshino also has a fleet on his side. And the private Shangluo is also very secretive, so there is no need to worry too much at all.

The only question is whether there will be any major changes in the territory during the period after Tsugawa Soji leaves the territory, so he has to arrange the relevant matters before leaving.

"Today's banquet is over for the time being, and our family will hold a grand ashigaru review meeting outside the city today! Be sure to visit the Xiyuan Temple in person! Soji Tsugawa then said to the chief of Saionji beside him.

"Where did the Tsugawa Hall say, I have also admired the strong strength of the Tsugawa family for a long time, and it is naturally the best thing to be able to see the demeanor of the Tsugawa family's troops!" The money is different, and the words of the chief of Xiyuan Temple are a little flattering.

Hearing the words of the head of Saionji, Tsugawa Soji smiled knowingly.

At this moment, Miki Naogo ran over from the corner and whispered something in Tsugawa's ear.......
