v8 Chapter 26: The general is determined to abdicate

Edo Castle was celebrated on New Year's Day in the fifth year of Heli Kayong (1852).

Starting from under the corridor and Daguangjian, the waiting seats were full of vassals. According to the rules of the martial arts, about two-thirds of the princes live in the mansion and one-third of the princes live in the country every year. Therefore, the princes in Edo are actually less than two hundred people, there are about one hundred and seventy or eighty.

According to the status, the family is famous and the official. Since birth, the most hands-on is the penman of the three families, Owari Hou Tokugawa Keiho, followed by Tokugawa Keihe and Tokugawa Keiyu, and Maeda Qitai of the other names is also safe. Sitting under the corridor, this is determined by the identity of the great name of Million Stone and the son-in-law of Jia Qi.

Yu Sanqing only came to Tian Anqi Kuang this time, and Ju Chiyo was too small and there was no one on the bridge. The other is Matsudaira. He was born in the Echizen Matsudaira clan, and is a pro-fan of the shogunate. At the same time, he is also the younger brother of Tokugawa Ieki.

What surprised everyone was that Ooka Tadago, who had been lying on the sickbed for more than two months, also appeared under Tokugawa Kayoshi's hands, neatly dressed, but full of old age and decay.

The shogunate really has something important to announce, otherwise, how come Ooka Tadagoo, who can't even sit still, will come!

But the whole ceremony of congratulating the New Year will not change. Songping announced his formal dress, holding a folding fan, and sang on it very generously. Every prince who was called by his name walked forward in small steps, paid homage to Tokugawa’s family celebration, and congratulated the New Year.

This process happens every year, and everyone is familiar with it. It doesn't take a long time for more than a hundred people to worship. The main reason is that it is tiring to sit and maintain a dignified manner.

Tokugawa Jiaqing sat in the first seat with a calm expression, accepting the greetings from the princes, but he was still very anxious, somewhat nervous. From time to time, he observes Ooka Tadagoo from the corner of his eye. Today, Ooka Tadagoo is an important witness and needs attention.

"Okay!" Finally, more than a hundred princes paid their respects, and it was time to announce the major events of the Shogunate's follow-up. Tokugawa Jiaqing said this word slowly and majesticly.

Regardless of how old the general is, his majesty is beyond challenge!

"Today, General Jian has two things to declare!" Songping Qi Xuanming knelt and sat on the tatami mats. He didn't know how to practice. He turned around ninety degrees and announced to the lords.

"Ho ho..." Of course the princes agreed. As courtiers, they just obeyed orders.

In fact, the princes had many guesses before coming. The news is sensitive and has heard a little bit of news in advance, and the Tokugawa family may have a post-election appointment for the Tokugawa family. The news is not well informed but the brain is turning fast, and I guessed that the shogunate was for something inherited later. Anyway, everyone at least has something in their hearts, "Waiting for good news."

"General Jian is determined to give way to His Royal Highness on the Shangsi Festival!"

There was a saying that Songping Qixuan's voice was not too loud, but his words were like a bomb, and it blew into the entire waiter's seat from top to bottom. Of course, the people at the top have already passed the qi a few days ago, and they have no opinion on giving way to the Tokugawa family.

Anyway, everyone has already invested in the Tokugawa family. The father and son gave way in a friendly way. First, let the Tokugawa family establish the name and decide the big position. There is nothing wrong with it.

In the history of the Tokugawa shogunate, father and son gave way to too many things. Tokugawa Ieyasu gave it to Hidetada Tokugawa, and Hidetada Tokugawa gave it to Iemitsu Tokugawa. For the Kishu line, the Tokugawa Yoshizong also gave way to the Tokugawa family, and the Tokugawa family also gave way to the Tokugawa family.

Now Tokugawa Ikeki wants to give up to the Tokugawa Iketo. It doesn't mean that I give up the power completely. Tokugawa Ikei is nothing more than becoming the Imperial Palace and continuing to hold power. The main purpose is to ensure that the general who suffered a brain injury, Tokugawa Iamatsu, can succeed to the throne smoothly without any accidents.

In case Tokugawa Jiaqing passed away suddenly, the world would be in chaos, and there would be some shit. Now that Tokugawa Jiaqing can deter the princes and control the world, it is a good time to give way.

The reason is also very good. After the New Year, Tokugawa Jiaqing will be 60 years old (imaginary years are used in this article, and the ancients are also false years). The so-called sixty is good for ears, and seventy is rare. Now that Tokugawa Jiaqing has reached the time of Anyang, there is no need to work on national affairs.

Tokugawa Iamatsu is also the "Naga-kun". He was born on April 8th (May 6, 1824), the seventh year of Bunsei, and is now 29 years old. It's a good time to be a general at this age.

Of course, the premise is a normal person!

However, the Tokugawa family is considered to be a "taro party", and there is nothing but snacks in his mind, which is not a normal person at all. The intention of this arrangement is really speculative.

Although all the princes had some preparations in their hearts before they came, they still felt a little commotion when they heard the news, their clothes shook and whispered.

"Quiet!" Songping Qi Xuan's folding fan pointed downward, ordering everyone not to make noise.

Of course, the princes would not directly oppose this kind of thing. Even Tokugawa Masaki, the fiercest jump in history, did not dare to speak out regularly at Abe Masahiro's support of the Tokugawa family. It was not the normal succession to the throne of Tokugawa Iamatsu, the son of whom everyone had already invested in. After everyone shared the rewards they should get, they began to jump up and down.

The old Chinese learned about Tokugawa's decision three days ago, and of course they all agreed to it. They also invested in Tokugawa's family for a long time, and all arrangements were made. Moreover, Tokugawa Kaki abdicated, but it was just changing the soup without changing the medicine. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com they still worked as the old middle school, at least until Tokugawa Kaki died, the position of the old middle school needs to be released.

When the expressions on the faces of the three of Yusanjia were a bit tasteful, Tokugawa Keiho nodded repeatedly, expressing joy. Tokugawa Kei Atsushi glanced at his own brother, then closed his eyes slightly. As for Tokugawa's celebration, only when nothing happened, like a wooden fetal clay sculpture, it was just used as a background board.

Since there is no even the slightest objection, "popularity is expected", then things are much easier. The Tokugawa family was guided to the temple by Ooka Tadasuke, and sat in front of the Tokugawa family celebration, and received the courtesy visits of the princes, which was considered to be assigned to the monarch and ministers.

The shogunate will immediately send envoys to Kyoto to inform the imperial court that the imperial court will send an emissary, and the Tokugawa family will be appointed as the Tokugawa shogunate general, and will inform the soldiers and civilians of the world.

The first thing announced today is so exciting, so what is the other thing? Everyone in the hall was guessing...

[Note]: At this time, Tokugawa Jiading should actually be called Tokugawa Jiaxiang, just for the convenience of writing and readers' reading.
