Chapter 187: The Meiji Restoration of the Wa Kingdom (9)

Ii Naobi steals the title, and immediately together with the Imperial Observatory and Honjuin, announced the death of the 13th Shogun Tokugawa Ieda, and elected the prince and lord of the Kishu Domain, Tokugawa Ieshige, as the 14th Shogun.

The dust settled, the royal platform fell into the nuns, the law name Tianzhang Temple, eat fasting and chant Buddha every day, but also quiet.

At the beginning of Tokugawa Ieshige's succession, he summoned the shogunate Daikoi Ii Naobi, Dao; Jing Yi swept the head of the department, and heard that Er would send the person who sent the secret edict to the prison and torture him, is this serious?

Jing Yi said directly: This is indeed the case! The shogunate is in charge of state affairs, and the mission is dictated by the punishment of Zang.

Tokugawa Ishige Road: You and I will go to Oku.

Jing Yi said directly: Does the princess have something important?

Tokugawa Iemomichi: Go to see Lord Tenshoin and inquire about state affairs.

The shogun and the elder came to visit, and Tianzhang Yuan was very surprised, and said that Ii said directly: You are also here, what is the important matter?

Jing Yi said directly: There is a matter below, dare to ask Lord Tianzhang Yuan.

Tianzhang Yuan said: Speak!

Ii Naobido; Saigo Takamori, the Satsuma Domain, does the Lord of Tenshoin know him?

Tianzhang Yuan said: Know!

Jing Yi said directly: The case of the imperial court issuing a secret edict in vain, Saigo Takamori is also involved, can the Lord of Tianzhang Yuan know where he went?

Tianzhang Yuan said: I don't know!

Jing Yi said directly: Really?

Tokugawa Ishigeru said sharply: Did the head of the Iyi sweep department arrest this person and torture him to extract a confession?

Ii Naobi: I thought that the secret edict of the imperial court was tantamount to declaring war on the Tokugawa shogunate!

Tokugawa Iemomichi: A declaration of war? The imperial court dares to ignore the "Forbidden China and the Public Law"?

Jing Yi said directly: From ancient times to the present, for more than 600 years, the state affairs of our country, the general of Zhengyi covered the sky with one hand and said one thing; Today's imperial court has privately colluded with the daimyo of various feudal clans in a vain attempt to overthrow this established pattern; Is this not a declaration of war?

Tianzhang Yuan said: Does Lord Jing Yi have a good plan to deal with it?

Jing Yi said straightly: If we ignore it again, a big disaster is coming! At this critical juncture, all those with ill intentions, regardless of the relatives and the ministers of the imperial court, if they have real evidence, they will be arrested, killed, cut and chopped, and will not be tolerated! The Lord of Tianzhang Temple is now the Great Ao Imperial Observatory, and his identity is great; No matter what happens after that, I ask the Lord of Tenshoin to make sure that the affairs of the Tokugawa clan are the first priority.

Tianzhang Yuan said: That's inevitable! I once swore an oath to the Lord by high-five, and I took the Tokugawa clan as the most important thing in everything. Not only that, but the Lord also ordered the mourning family to assist General Kamo.

Jing Yi Zhibi hurriedly said: This matter has already been decided, and I don't dare to bother Lord Tianzhang Academy.

Tianzhang Yuan said: What do you mean by this?

Ii Naobido: Lord Tokugawa Keiyori, the lord of the Tayasu domain, has assumed the post of shogun, and is temporarily in charge of shogunate.

Tokugawa Iemomichi: Definitely! The Lord of Tianzhang Yuan assisted the shogunate, and it was the will of the ancient princess! We must follow suit!

Jing Yi said directly: Recently, I have been riddled with trivial matters, and I have lost everything; I implore Lord Tianzhang Yuan to remember his mistakes and forgive them. Since it is the testament of the ancient princess, he must obey his orders!

Tianzhang Yuan Dao: Previously, Jing Yi swept the head of the department to promote cadres and rectify the feudal government; The money is gone, and Li Shu is compensated. Your love for the people is known to the world. Today's secret case involves a wide range of cases; Jing Yi's sweeping department must enforce the law impartially and sentence accurately, so as to spare people at the beginning and forgive people; Indiscriminate killing, endless troubles.

Jing Yi said directly: The golden and jade words of the Lord of Tianzhang Academy must be remembered.

When Jing Yi Naobi saw the completion of the Tianzhang Academy, he immediately ordered the old middle department of the shogunate to enter Beijing quickly, arrest the criminals, and then ask the imperial court to approve the opening of the country.

Mabe Kankatsu said: May I ask Lord Jingyi, the ministers of the imperial court, do you want to move? The Mito family is old, kill it or not?

Jing Yi said directly: All the ministers, pick up their branches, screen and arrest; Mito feudal lords, don't kill for now. I used the secret edict as bait to force the imperial court to sign a treaty to open the country. In addition, Kujo Shangzhong is dedicated to founding the country, and his position of Guan Bai must be fought on the basis of reason.

Mabe Quanshengdao: Even if there is solid evidence, the court pushes back and blindly denies, what should it do?

Ii Naobi said: If necessary, the shogunate's ban on the imperial court can also be suspended.

Ando Shinmasado: Lord Kaiyui, Choshu Secret Report, Choshu Domain Priest Yoshida Shoin repeatedly said, the shogunate takes the deceitful and foreign-style as the world's most important plan, does not think about the country's troubles, ignores the national humiliation, does not serve the heavens, the general's sins are not tolerated by heaven and earth, and people and gods are angry. Kill a treacherous and cunning, and the world can be decided.

Jing Yi said directly: Yoshida's demons confuse the public and poison the common people. The lord of Choshu was ordered to immediately arrest Yoshida Shoin. Time did not wait, and the lord of the palace quickly took the secret of the raid, and immediately entered the capital, and in addition to checking the important offenders of the various feudal domains, he begged His Majesty to allow the opening of the country.

On October 30, 1858, Mabe arrived in Kyoto and met with Tadayoshi Sakai, the director of Kyoto, and the elder Nagano of the Hikone clan, and arrested 13 people, including Ukai Yoshima, Ukai Yukichi, Kondo Shigezaemon, Shimanosuke Kayane, Obijima, Ubunai, Uchizen, Uchima, and Hashimoto, the Mito Domain.

The imperial court Guan Bai Konoe Zhongxi hurriedly negotiated, and said: Without His Majesty's edict, the lord of the middle department cannot arrest the feudal people in the city at will.

Mabe Kankatsumichi: Your Majesty has entrusted the great government to the shogunate, and we use the fourth paragraph of the "Laws of the Samurai" to ensure that the names of the feudal lords, feudal lords, feudal soldiers, and feudal lords, and those who rebel or kill people shall be arrested and prosecuted immediately. Umeda Yunhama and others of the Ohama Domain have nothing to do and are not arrogant, and they should be arrested. If you want to release people, unless Your Majesty explicitly issues an edict.

Konoe Zhongxi said: How can you easily move small things. His Majesty issued an edict, and Meiyi wanted to invite, but the matter was extremely difficult. The people's hearts and minds are at stake, and the country's safety is at stake. The Lord pondered deeply, and the worries were earnest, and the actions of going down to the fields in the past years were no longer in line with the holy will, and the situation was reopened to all ports, and the letters were concluded, and the future generations were afraid of trouble, and it was not easy to make a decision lightly. It is advisable to discuss the three families and the princes, so as to play the appropriate disposal. To open the country or to destroy it, if it is not decided; Since the Mabe-sama has arrested the feudal lords, this move is very uncompliant.

The intermittent Quansheng threw out the secret edict of the confiscation, and said: The imperial court trespassed and issued the secret edict without permission, what is the explanation of Lord Guan Bai?

Konoe Zhongxi said: The handwriting is sloppy, and there is no His Majesty's seal, who is presumptuous!

Mabu Quansheng said: We have arrested the old man of the Mito family, and the truth has been explored, and Lord Sekibai also knows it. Paragraph 7 of the "Prohibition of the Laws of the Public Family", the official position of the martial artist can be the official affairs of the public family. The general of Zhengyi thought that the position of Guan Bai in the imperial court, Lord Kujo was the most appropriate.

Konoe Tadashi said: Last month, Lord Kujo Shotada took a self-recuperation due to illness, not the imperial court's reform.

Mabe Kankatsumichi: The rights and wrongs of it, Konoe-sama also knows it. However, if the lord wants to reject Yidi, the shogunate insists on wearing it, and the officials do what they want, but if it is not the same public and military, and the upper and lower are concentric, it will not work. Wait and reprieve days. The 13 criminals arrested will be judged after Ju is heard.

Konoe Tadashi said: The prison should not be suddenly raised, please stop in moderation!

Mabe Kankatsu said: I have found the evidence, Kiyomizu Temple presided over the moon light monk, did not knock on the wooden fish and did not recite Buddhist scriptures, but with the Eagle Division, Sanjo and the retainers of the Er, colluded with the feudal ronin, disobeyed the shogunate, and conspired to destroy the country. Lord Konoe must go to the imperial court, and the lord and the Taiko Eagle Division and the former Minister of the Interior Sanjo Minoru are not strict, and the non-shaving monks cannot make up for the mistakes of the people.

Konoe Zhongxi said angrily: You are a minister, you have no court, you are so arrogant, how can this be reasonable!
