Edo Traveler

After discussing one more thing, Matsudaira Qixuan saw that the end of Chuyouemon's side was over, so he asked Chuyouemon when he would be in the main hall. To put it bluntly, it is when the ceremony of meeting the princes will be held, and at the same time, the family will be moved into the Edo Castle.

Feudal family world, heavy etiquette, heavy name. Since Chuemon is sitting in this position, he has to act according to this rule.

It's just that the Honmaru was burned down, and there is indeed no hall big enough to hold a grand ceremony for thousands of people. In the hall of the Western Pavilion, more than 200 princes were summoned to their positions. Or wait for this pill to be completely renovated, and then make up such a procedure.

Anyway, the court's general Xuanxia had already arrived, and the lords and daimyo did not have any dissatisfaction or doubts about the shogunate's succession on the surface. Even Mrs. Atsuji became a monk and became a Tianzhang Temple. This ceremony can be held any day.

In history, there have even been cases in which the death of an earlier general was concealed, and the official announcement was made after the generals of the imperial court had announced their arrival. In short, the flexibility of this matter is relatively large, mainly because it is approved by the princes.

The princes kowtowed to you, and you are their monarch!

In addition, the whole family moved into Osaka Castle, and as a shogun, it was very inappropriate to live in the Edogawa Mansion under the castle. Both indecent and not conducive to defense.

After the shogunate left the Tokugawa family, there were only two reservists left, Shimaru and Kanosuke. If they lived under the castle, they wouldn't have time to cry if anything happened.

Or move into Nishimaru, it just so happens that Nishimaru is the guardian of Shintaro Terazawa, trusted by Chuemon. Not to mention that flies can't get in one, at least they can't get in at night.

Ow, that's right! Previously, Chuemon Gate was renovating the Edo Castle, and the sewers were cut to be straight. This time, through the restoration of the Honmaru project, the twists and turns of the year were restored again. The water outlet has also been changed to other places to prevent the water outlet from becoming a loophole in the defense again.

"Moving into Nishimaru?" Chuemon hesitated for a moment.

Because there is still a problem here, Nishimaru was badly damaged in the earthquake and was almost completely destroyed. Otherwise, it will not be freed up to build the summer palace of the Western Pavilion for the French.

So in fact, after Honmaru was burned to death, there was no palace in the entire Edo City that could fit the status of a shogun.

Some people may ask, isn't the Western-style pavilion ready-made? Ready-made is ready-made, but there are people living in it. Isn't Mrs. Atsushi still living there, along with the Dao female officials who moved to the Western Pavilion after the Dao fire caught fire.

Chuemon has already respected Mrs. Atsushi as his mother in the patriarchal clan, so it is impossible to drive his mother away, and then let his mother let him live in the house, right?

But besides the Western-style mansion, where else can I live?

The Edo Castle Tower is not a big deal. It cost the Shimadzu family one million taels of gold to build the tower. In the last major earthquake, it was lucky to carry it over. After repair, at least from the appearance, there is no problem.

But Tianshou this thing, in fact, is more of an armed defense function. The other is to declare the authority of the feudal lords, and the towering tower, watching the warriors and people under the city at any time, tells them the power of the master of the tower. Gu Chen

As for living, it's very unsatisfactory. Furthermore, regarding the frequency of earthquakes in Japan, Chuemon doesn't want to risk his life. I would rather live in a bungalow on the first floor, so that I can run away after an earthquake, rather than living in a tower with a height of six or seven stories. If there is an earthquake, there is no other way than jumping off the building.

"It's just that there is no place to live in the city..." Chuyouemon thought about it and asked Matsudaira Qixuan.

"It's really inappropriate to live with Tenzhang-in." As soon as Chungemon said the current situation, Matsudaira Qixuan also felt that it was a little difficult to handle.

The Edo Castle was very large, and as a result, there was not even a place suitable for the Chuemon family to live in. This was the most difficult time since the establishment of the shogunate. Dignified General, you don't have a house to live in, you say it's ridiculous.

"Besides, the construction of the palace costs a huge amount of money, and the shogunate can't afford it now." Chuyouemon told the truth.

With that money, I might as well use it to reward the three armies. The support and love of the army is far stronger than any flashy palace. With the training team in hand, where in the world is not home? My army of 20,000 people arrives at your door. Even if you are a Maori, you have to open the door immediately and welcome me to your bedroom to sleep.

"It still needs to be repaired and restored." Songping Qixuan shook his head.

The buildings in Edo Castle are not only the residence of the shogun, but also the office of the central shogunate. Now the shogunate center has been relocated to the office of the Ichibashi Residence, but this is only a stopgap measure, and sooner or later, it will have to move back to Edo Castle. Even if you don't cultivate anything else, the yamen of the central shogunate, you must cultivate him.

How about occupying the Yiqiao mansion every day, and when there is a new young master in the future, what should I do after entering the Yiqiao house? Then give the Edogawa Mansion to the new young master?

At most, we can repair it slowly now, as much as we have, build one today and one tomorrow. Anyway, it's not a pure palace, it's just building a yamen, and the cost is much lower than that of a palace.

It is said that the military plane with Qing next door is in a few small bungalows. It is extremely hot in summer and leaks in all directions in winter. Whenever it rains, it rains lightly outside and rains heavily inside. It's raining heavily outside, but there's a shower inside. With such office conditions, there are not many people in the world who want to enter the military aircraft office.

The splendid atmosphere of the yamen does not need to be repaired, as long as the power is concentrated here, it will appear majestic and magnificent!

"Then let's repair the official halls of the Ottomans first~www.wuxiaspot.com~ We will discuss it later." Chuemon was reluctant to give up the money.

The central yamen of the shogunate cannot be repaired, but the house we live in can be leaned back. One year, two years, three years, Chuemon can afford to wait. After the big deal, I will work at the Yotsuba Mansion during the day and go back to the Edogawa Mansion to sleep at night.

Anyway, there are only three wives and concubines in total, so there is no need to prevent anything. We are different from Tokugawa Jiaqi and Tokugawa Jiaqing. Both of them have a lot of wives. Just being famous, it is not enough to count both hands and feet. They have the need to separate the inside and outside, but Chuemon doesn't.

"It's better to build the Luming Pavilion." Zu Liu thought about it and said.

The Kameikan, built under the castle, is a Western-style building for foreign envoys who came to Edo. Not only tall and lavish, but also double-storey buildings, the extra land can build a garden. Since Chuyouemon has a desire to westernize, it is better to westernize all the government offices and yamen buildings first.
