v12 Chapter 14: The monarch and minister are relatively

Hori Toshihi's funeral is still in progress. It is normal for him to stay at home for 20 to 30 days these days. The people of the world don't want Hori Toshihi to be buried so hastily. In addition, the shogunate has not been able to come up with a resolution for a long time, and it is even more difficult to bury it.

Today, the Tokugawa family decided to convene the imperial meeting again. Since the increase in salary, the great scenery, and the abolition of the Ezo development order cannot be convincing to the public, the shogunate must continue to find a way to calm the objection of the literati and common people.

The idea of ​​the Tokugawa family is to increase the official and the noble!

I had added two thousand stones of knowledge to the Hori family before, but no one thought that was enough. The reason is also very simple, Hori Toshihi himself is a capable minister who is loyal and diligent, has made demarcation of boundaries, and stabilizes Ezo. He will not give up his advice and return to Edo to perform his duties normally, but also to increase knowledge and conduct.

It's just that under normal circumstances, adding five hundred or one thousand stones is almost the same. This time, I added 2,000 stones, a little bit more, but only a little bit.

So perhaps Tokugawa Kasada thought of it himself, or someone reminded Tokugawa Kasada that he felt that giving Hori Toshihiko, the son of Hori Toshinori, the current head of the Hori family, could calm everyone down.

When he heard the news, Chuemon just sighed inwardly. They didn't grasp the center of the problem. The center of the whole incident was Jingyi Zhibi. You have to deal with Jingyi Zhibi to be able to convince the people of the world. As long as Ii Naobi is not dealt with, it is basically useless to do anything.

Or if you directly seal Hori Rimeng as the lord of the 200,000 Stone Kingdom, it is estimated that it may also calm the people of the world, but is this possible?

Leaving Hori's house in a hurry, Chuemon immediately mounted his horse. So did Matsudaira Qi Xuan and Kusei Guangzhou. First, they handed over the stall to Abe Zhengwai to watch, and a few of them rushed to the city.

In the Western-style building, Tokugawa Jiading's state became even weaker, and he just sat on the sofa bench in high spirits. Apparently, these days, I've been very worried about things like Hori Toshihi and Ii Naobi.

"You don't have to make false salutes, just sit down." The Tokugawa family's voice was also somewhat sickly.

This scene made Naobi Ii frown. He could not care about the thoughts and opinions of others, but he had to care about the Tokugawa family. His regime is based on the unconditional trust of the Tokugawa family. If there is something wrong with the Tokugawa family, it is useless for him to be tough.

So Ii Naobi hurriedly got up, went to Tokugawa Jiading's side, and carefully watched the situation of Tokugawa Jiading. Fortunately, the Tokugawa family has not had a good rest recently, and the weather is getting hotter day by day, so I feel a little uncomfortable. As for frailty, those who have been frail every day for more than thirty years have never been strong.

"Yu Shang is good..." Tokugawa's family waved his hand, motioning you to speak quickly, I have nothing serious, and I can't breathe today.

"Everyone, Kamazaki's meaning is to move forward with the Hori clan's 5,000 stones, so as to reassure the hearts of the people." Tadashi Ooka has served the Tokugawa family for so many years, and many things are rumored on his behalf.

Now the idea of ​​the Tokugawa family is that Hori Rimeo, as the five thousand stone flags, will take up a higher official position that he cannot hold, in order to show the general's kindness to their Hori family. This is easy to understand. If you appoint Hori Rimeng as the surveyor, that is, in charge of the Ministry of Finance, it will be considered a big beauty.

Or appointing Hori Rimeng as Sunfu Castle and being appointed to manage Sunfu Castle, which is also one of the beautiful missions. Because Suruga has golden mountains, and it is also the place where Tokugawa Ieyasu retired, which is of great political significance.

"It's better to express Shimono or Iga Mori for his brother's meaning first." Chuemon took the initiative to speak.

Now that we have persuaded Naobi Ii and know that he is not willing to retire, let's try our best to ease the conflict in front of us by means of the Enbori family. Maybe it's really possible to put things off by procrastinating.

"The minister waits for a second opinion." This sentence is very appropriate, and no one feels bad about it.

It is the right way for the shogunate to perform official duties for the martial family. Hori Rimeng has just succeeded the Hori family's family governor, and he has not yet held an official position. It is also convenient for him to continue to be promoted in the future.

In the Edo period, although some things of Confucianism entered the ruling system, there was no rule that the father died and he needed to observe filial piety for three years. The normal father passed away, just send people well. Therefore, the son can soon come out as an official and do things without too many restrictions.

"As for the dispatch..." Chuemon couldn't think of any beauty officer suitable for a teenage boy like Hori Rimono for a while.

You want to say that in later generations, a young man of 16 or 17 years old is still in high school or vocational high school, and you let him become the second-in-command of the national finance, which is simply a joke. But now not only to be second-in-command, but possibly even higher than that.

"Why don't you just use the Ezo pioneer." Naobi Ii said slowly.

It's not surprising to hear it left and right. This year, I also pay attention to the fact that a family of loyal ministers will have a filial son, and after a filial son, a loyal minister will be born. Since Toshihiro Hori did a very good job in Hakodate's post, he would definitely do well in Hori Toshio. The origin of family learning is such a truth.

The Ezo Development Order is abolished, but Ezo must continue to be developed. It is a reasonable operation to upgrade Hakodate to Ezo Development Emissary.

"Will it be because of the long-distance adjustment, and he will discuss it?" Songping Qixuan discussed the matter, he felt that the Ezo was too far away, UU reading www. uukanshu.com is not very suitable.

"Or Yokohama Joyo." Chuemon suddenly thought of Yokohama Joyo, who wanted to give Suke six.

Yokohama Joyo is not only an important position, but also a well-known beauty, and there are benefits. In addition, being in a commercial port, you need to handle diplomacy from time to time, and you have to have a family background, and only those who have done diplomacy can serve. Since Hori Toshihi and the U.S. consul at Hakodate are very happy to negotiate, Hori Toshio should also be able to.

Really not, Chuemon took the train to help the place. Anyway, it only takes an hour to rush there, which is very convenient.

"Is Yokohama Joyo?" The Tokugawa family was thoughtful, but couldn't decide right away.

"Alright!" Ii Naobi agreed quickly.

As far as he wanted to come, as long as Hori Rimono could be placed, that would be fine. Yokohama Joyo was originally an official position only qualified to hold by lords of more than 10,000 stone, but now it is granted to Hori Rimeo, which is a great promotion.

"Let's do it like this..." The Tokugawa family nodded and looked at Naobi Ii with a complicated look in their eyes, and they didn't know what to think.

"I have a heavy trust from you." Naobi Ii saw the Tokugawa family looking at him, got up immediately, and stepped forward to convict the Tokugawa family.

The two rulers and ministers, in this situation, have a sense of bleakness.
