Chapter 187: The Meiji Restoration of the Wa Kingdom (33)
The shogun, Tokugawa, was not yet overjoyed, and Matsudaira Keichi, the president of political affairs and the lord of the Fukui domain, said: Your Majesty, celebrate the high wind and bright festival of the lord, and take the initiative to return the great government to the imperial court; His Majesty thought that Lord Keiki should decide state affairs.
Meiji Michi: I have made an order, and the decision will be made by the people.
The Tosa Domain's lord Yamashintang was very angry and shouted: Lord Keixi threw away the glory of his ancestors this time and returned the great government to the imperial court, and his merit is not exaggerated! Iwakura-sama, if you don't have the participation of Lord Keiki, how can we negotiate the return of the great government?
Iwakura Gu said: Thousands of years ago, my majesty Shenmu, who had already illuminated Shenzhou, should have been a family for all generations, but he was seized by the Kamakura, Muromachi, and Tokugawa clans for thousands of years, and the Tokugawa clan is now serving back to the great government, as a matter of course!
The mountain is full of moss: for a thousand years, the gravel is covered with moss; The general is humiliated and saves the people from the war, and the third and fourth ministers, regardless of the life and death of the common people, seize the imperial power and act privately, I don't know where your conscience is! His Majesty the Emperor is young, and the great names of my vassals will never allow you to act recklessly!
Iwakura Gu looked angry and said: The saint is an immortal talent, and he is building a great political reform, and today's actions are all judgments, and he speaks wildly, and he is rebellious!
Meiji Road: Tosa Domain's main mountain content hall, the bosom is sprinkled; The drunken marquis of the whale sea is not long-lasting, and I think it is better to drink less.
Yamachito said: Thank you, Your Majesty Longen, the minister has been drunk for three days, and he is sober today. Your Majesty, the ministers went through the classics, and the Tokugawa clan ruled the country for 260 years, and there was indeed no tyranny; Lord Qingxi returned the great government, and he should be commended.
Iwakura has a vision of the road: recalling the past and the present, Tokugawa Ieyasu seized the world, or contributed to the country; However, his descendants are relying on the light of their ancestors, flying high, our public family, your great name, deeply affected by their poison, the pain of yesterday, vivid, you forget?
Matsudaira Kei, the lord of the Fukui domain: The Tokugawa family's hundreds of years of exploits are enough to make up for the possible mistakes of Lord Keiki today, and Lord Iwakura must not take advantage of the topic.
Iwakura has a vision: I am a bright and upright person, and I have never used the topic to play; If Tokugawa rejoices in his introspection, he immediately resigns from the government and participates in the royal government as a commoner to atone for his sins.
Yamachito said: With all due respect, strictly enforce the royal government, and be sure to be open and honest! Lord Keiki returned the great government, and his merit was great that he should participate as a great name, and Lord Keiki also returned the great government to the imperial court under this agreement, so that Lord Keiki had loyalty and no sin. This matter was promoted by me, and I am a big name, and I don't want to turn the clouds and rain, and I dare not go back on my word.
Keichokasu Matsudaira: Lord Iwakura's so-called resignation and acceptance of land, so are many of the country's daimyo also like Lord Keiki, all of whom resigned from their official positions and accepted land?
Commenting on Zhongshan Zhongneng hurriedly said: Your Majesty, today we only talk about the great government and the royal government, and the affairs of the great names are still to be decided by the public. It is getting late, and I beg your Majesty to allow us to rest for a while.
Meiji Michi: Accurate!
The crowd dispersed, and Okubo Ritsu said eagerly: Yamochido and Matsudaira Keiyong are all reasonable, Tokugawa Keijo can't be happy, and there will never be peace. If Wang Zheng wants to be retro, he must eliminate Tokugawa Keiki. The mountain content hall is bent on supporting the curtain, and good words are very difficult to tame.
Saigo Takamori Road: But the dead are speechless, just a short knife. Outside the Imperial Palace, the Satsuma samurai have all unsheathed their swords!
Iwakura Gu said: This is the pre-imperial meeting, blood spattered, terrified of our emperor.
Okubo Channel: Happy to be in power, we are all dead! There is no other way, only the heart of mortality, to solve the suffering of sentient beings.
Iwakura Gu smiled and said: My emperor faces the south and listens to the world, and governs to the Ming; I am a layman, and I have no concerns.
Saigo Takamori Road: I will go to the main mountain hall of the Tosa Domain with Goto Elephant Jiro, and tell us the meaning of iron and blood.
Half a time later, the imperial meeting resumed, and Iwakura Gu looked at it and said angrily: Qingxi Feng returned to the great government, Wang Zhengye has been retro, whoever dares to obstruct it, Iwakura must die!
There was silence.
Meiji Road: Xiqing resigned from the government and accepted the land, returned the great government, and I was grateful; But when the world calms down a little, Xiqing can enter Luoqing to meet, I set up a banquet with wine, and have a long talk with Xiqing. I hope that heaven and earth can be learned! Shang Wangxiqing attaches great importance to state affairs.
Early the next morning, Iwakura Gushi issued a decree on the retro of the royal government, which had five orders, and first, the resignation of Tokugawa Keiki from the post of shogun.
2. Abolish the Kyoto Guardian Position and the Kyoto Office Representative.
3. Abolish the Edo shogunate.
Fourth, the abolition of regency and Guan Bai.
5. Set up three positions: president, agreement, and participation. Prince Arisugawa Miyashihito was inaugurated as president. Prince Yoshiaki of Ninhonji Temple, Tadano Nakayama, Minoru Sanjo, Nobuyuki Nakamon, Shimazu Hisamitsu, Tokugawa Yoshikatsu, Shigehiro Asano, Yoshinaga Matsudaira, and Yamamochi were appointed and agreed. Iwakura Gushi, Ohara Shigetoku, Wanli Koji Hirobo, Hasei Shintoshi, Hashimoto Minori and others took office and participated.
Tokugawa celebrates the news, and the five flavors are mixed.
The lord of the Tosa Domain, Yamoto said: "Lord Kaiyu, the sins of his subordinates deserve death, and the mistake of one thought has led the Shogun astray.
Tokugawa rejoiced: "It is my decision to return the great government, and it is none of my business.
Matsudaira Kei, the lord of the Fukui domain: Shogun Kaiyu, we have tried our best, but we have not been able to solve the problems of the general.
Tokugawa rejoiced: I will go straight to the palace and compete with His Majesty.
Matsudaira Keicho: The troops of Satsuma, Choshu, and Aki have entered Luo, and it is very dangerous for the general to go.
Matsudaira Yohodo, the lord of the Aizu domain: The shogun did not come to the imperial palace to discuss the government, and the royal government's retro decree was invalid; His subordinates took the post of guardian of Kyoto, and brought more than 1,000 soldiers to protect the general into Luojing.
Matsudaira Keido: Without an edict, bring troops into Luo, and the enemy will also!
Yamachido said: The soldiers of the Sacho clan are wreaking havoc in Kyoto, and this place is also dangerous, so I implore the shogun to go to Osaka for temporary refuge. His subordinates immediately joined the relatives and vassals, and then entered the palace and invited our emperor to invite the general to come to Luo.
On December 12th, Yamamochido, Matsudaira Keinaga and others entered the Masami Town Sanjo Minomi, and Yamaguchi said: In today's situation, non-public and military integration cannot save our country, and non-Keiki adults cannot decide state affairs; Saigo Takamori, Kido Takayo and others insisted on toppling the curtain, and the anger was too strong and delayed the country. I would like to ask Lord Sanjo to take state affairs first and ask His Majesty the Emperor to allow him to come to Luo. Lord Qingxi is alone, not with a single soldier.
Three days of real beauty said: Lord Qingxi resigned from the official position and waited for the sound of the sky, this is my emperor's decision, and there is really nothing to be done in the next.
Matsudaira Keiji: It is difficult to deter people by virtue and deterrence. Within a few days, the public should see the flames of Kyoto.
