v8 Chapter 14: The shogunate season is over

Latest website: Seeing Mizuno Tadakuni's sadness comes from his heart, tears are like a tie, Tokugawa has ruled for more than two hundred years, and at this time, it seems that there are flowers with brocade and burning oil. There are three families, three families, and dozens of parents from Matsudaira. Fan.

In the end, he couldn't pick a good heir!

Except for the Tokugawa lords, the Echizen Matsudaira who was born the closest to the head, Matsuhira Keunaga was a jumper, not losing to Tokugawa Masaaki's goods. I don't know how many catties I weigh, and my mind is all about fighting the barbarians and barbarians, resolutely. You have to have foreign guns, artillery, and soldiers to fight against barbarians.

Matsudaira Qixuan, who also belonged to the Echizen Matsudaira clan, was barely a clever man, but he was too temperamental and he was anxious to do things. He is really going to be on top, I am afraid that no one in the world can persuade him.

As for another branch of the Echizen Matsudaira clan, the Echigo Takada clan had been changed to a feudal clan as early as the fifth shogun Tsunayoshi. The remaining vassals are alienated from the Tokugawa clan, so they are not considered.

Some words made Tokugawa Ikeki also crying. How could such a big Tokugawa family have reached such a stage!

"What do you think?" It is definitely impossible for Tokugawa Keiho to replace Tokugawa Kasada as the heir directly. How to do this still needs to be discussed.

"When necessary in the future, I will take the elder son as the king, and I will be the general in this maru, and command the world. Take Owari Maru as the hindsight assistant, and I will be the assistant officer in Nishimaru. The Shimizu will become the eldest son, and if Shimizu will grow up. , Everything has precedents to follow. If Shimizu died, the Owari Hou will succeed the throne, and the shogunate will be peaceful for 20 to 30 years."

Mizuno Tadakuni closed his eyes. This was the best way he could think of. The Tokugawa family really didn't have any good seedlings to help. Only in such crooked melons and jujubes, we can do our best to protect them, and let the Tokugawa family maintain their governance for 20 to 30 years.

After twenty or thirty years have passed? What the world will look like is definitely beyond the control of the two people in front of him. It’s not bad for one generation to do things for one generation and to pave the way for the next generation.

"I remember..." Tokugawa Jiaqing nodded, but didn't seem to fully agree.

"In that case, the minister has nothing to say, so he will follow Tosho and now drive down..." Mizuno sighed in his heart.

At this point, he has no time to give advice and explanations. For this Tokugawa shogunate, he has worked all his life and worried all his life. Some things have been done, some things have been broken, and some things have been done in short. There are regrets of failure and joy of success. Now regrets are all superfluous.

"Goro, Goro, Goro... oh oh oh..." Mizuno Tadakuni's last trace of anger faded, and Tokugawa Ieki, who was holding his hand, lowered his head and leaned on him.

In the summer of the 4th year of the Kayaga era and the 1851 year of the Western calendar, he was praised by the world as "the prime minister of saving time and justice". The former shogunate Tadakuni Mizuno, who has the sight of the world's vassals, was in Akasakahama under the Edo castle. Song Fandi died at the age of fifty-eight. Later, he gave the four upper left guard lieutenant generals, the French layman of the loyal friend Zhongliang of the Academy of Heroes.

As Tokugawa Ikei's "Teishi" and the former prime minister of the shogunate, the news of Mizuno's death immediately spread in Edo. Not long after the sun went down, Kurokawa Keitoku hurriedly ran to his home to inform Chuemon of the news.

Mizuno Chungbang is really dead...

I don't know how many foreign daimyos are ecstatic in their hearts. So far, the shogunate has no more loyal ministers who can forge ahead, reform and reform, and can only rush all the way on the gentle **** that slides into the abyss. In addition, the heir is either a child or a brain injury. How do you think this shogunate is going to be finished.

But no one would show what he thought in his heart. Tokugawa Jiaqing hadn't announced how to manage the funeral, and envoys mourning for the princes rushed to the Hamamatsu clan residence in an endless stream. On the one hand, he came to mourn, and on the other hand, he wanted to see the state of Tokugawa Ikei nearby.

Undoubtedly, Tokugawa Jiaqing's whole person was a lot older all of a sudden, and everyone lost their looks, like a piece of dead wood, just sitting in front of Mizuno Tadakuni, no one dared to bother.

It was Ooka Tadagu who rushed over, helped him sit up, and after a little question, he announced the plan for the funeral of Mizuno Tadaguni.

The first is to appoint five Laozhong and the temple to perform Songping Qixuan, a total of six people, to jointly serve as the Minister of Funeral Mizuno. If it wasn't for the Tokugawa family, it would be impossible for the Tokugawa family to take the lead. After that, I gave 20,000 taels of money for the funeral expenses of the Mizuno family, plus cloth, paper, wine, fruit cakes, ritual utensils, and silver.

Last but not least, Tadase Mizuno, who succeeded Hamamatsu clan lord, was fired from Osaka Castle and went to the house immediately to preside over the funeral of his father. As for the future position, the position has not yet been announced.

However, according to the guesses of the scholars and the tone revealed by the nearby, Mizuno should take his Lao Tzu's class and enter the cabinet this year or next year as the old middle school. Of course, it may also be the temple and shrine accompaniment fan, leaving it to Germany. Chuan Jiading promoted. Anyway, the person has returned, and he must be succeeding.

Chuyouemon, who is the main banner, was also temporarily transferred to Matsudaira Qixuan's command to assist the entire funeral. The entire funeral will last at least thirty days, and in these thirty days, don't expect anything else to be done by the shogunate.

Mizuno Tadakuni is the family of the quasi-kin feudal clan, and with the family of 153,000 stones, the funeral is bound to be grand and luxurious. Now that Tokugawa Ieki has added momentum, it is even more solemn. Just one point is enough.

The monk invited eight thousand people!

Eight thousand monks recite the Mantra of Rebirth, UU reading www.uukanshu.com, good guys, in a long time, all the people running in the Hamamatsu clan will be able to recite the mantra in full. According to Matsudai Qixuan, if there is no accident, at the time of the funeral, Tokugawa Jiaqing requires at least 20,000 monks to recite the sutras along the way to ensure that Mizuno Tadakuni goes smoothly and happily.

The superiority of the holy family is beyond description, but if he is not worthy of Mizuno Zhongkun, who else is worthy?

By the way, after Mizuno Tadakuni's death, the first thing that led to Tokugawa Ieki's complete slack, no one can spur Tokugawa Ieki to work hard. Originally a greedy and lustful Tokugawa Kayoshi, he was shocked by the great spiritual impact of Mizuno's death. He completely gave up on government affairs and only planned to find a way to get two more children.

And Tadoku Ooka, the first old man in the shogunate, would never persuade Tokugawa Jiaqing to strive for self-improvement. Both of them are "people of life", and each day is a day. The rest of the old middle school, either does not have the idea of ​​correcting, or is not capable of correcting.

Everyone's life!

The good days of the shogunate finally come to an end!
