Chapter 887 Jia Mao: Entrust the entire world to Qingdeng! 【4400】
The general will walk into Da'ao from the upper corridor of Yuling.
There are two sugito (cedar gates) in Kamigosuzu Corridor. If you pull the rope in front of Kamigosuzu Corridor in Chuou, the bell of Okusuzubanshō will ring, and the silver ingot gate - the gate of Ooku - will ring.
Open the door.
The name of the Upper Bell Corridor comes from the process of ringing the rope bells.
The general, who has been busy with government affairs in recent days, came to Da'ao tonight after a long absence, and even asked her to stay at his bed... Wagongiya was not an idiot, so he naturally guessed that this must be Qingteng's credit.
She didn't bother to thank Aoto, and quickly changed her clothes, then with her face flushed, she led Onaka Nagi and others to greet Tokugawa Iemo.
After a while, the clear "ding-dong-dang-dang" sound came from the direction of the Shangyuling Corridor.
Immediately afterwards, a long and extremely loud shout came:
"My lord is here!"
Along with this announcement, the sound of footsteps that was extremely familiar to He Gong reached his ears from afar.
Wagongong shook his head fiercely, then stiffly put three fingers on the ground, bowing his head and waist respectfully.
For a moment, she felt a "soft" breath coming from the front - the breath of Tokugawa Iemo.
"He Gong, please raise your head."
Although they have been a couple for 2 years, to this day, Wakomiya still feels excited and nervous after meeting Tokugawa Iemo.
She slowly straightened her back and raised her head with a stiff and stuck movement.
Her eyesight rose inch by inch, and Tokugawa Iemo's face... that handsome face with a warm smile came clearly into the girl's field of vision.
As their eyes met, Wagongiya's face became increasingly red, and a faint translucent steam floated out from his forehead.
…
…
According to the rules of the Edo shogunate, when the shogun performs sexual intercourse, there must be a female official and two monks, a total of three people, supervising.
The three of them will monitor the general's sexual intercourse process at all times through a screen.
Its main purpose is to prevent the general from taking advantage of the situation and ensure the continuation of the Tokugawa bloodline.
Although this rule seems very nonsensical, the birth of any rule in the world has its origins.
In order to demonstrate the close relationship between the shogunate and the imperial court, the shogun's main chamber (Odaisho) could only be entered from the five residences (Ichijo, Nijo, Kujo, Konoe and Takashi) or the imperial family.
Even those who come from the Wu family - such as Tianzhang Academy - must be the adopted daughter of the Wushe family before they can be admitted to the Great Ao.
It was only after Tenzōin became the adoptive father of Konoe Tadayoshi that he became fully qualified to marry the general.
Even if it is a concubine, the general cannot do whatever he wants. He can only choose girls of the right age from those rich and noble families. The minimum must be a daimyo's daughter. He cannot marry the daughter of a commoner or the daughter of an ordinary warrior family, no matter how beautiful the other party is.
impossible.
As we all know, under the influence of genes, the appearance of the Kyoto royal family has always been good.
In terms of appearance, Wagongiya, who is neither beautiful nor ugly, but whose skin is commendable, is already considered the leader among the royal family.
In fact, compared with the distance of "heart", the level of appearance is easy to say.
There is almost no free love in a general's marriage, and it is basically a political marriage.
How true is this kind of marriage that is forcibly promoted for political purposes?
Most of the time, they seem to be inseparable but look at each other with disgust.
From this aspect, Tokugawa Iemo was already lucky. His sincere friendship with Wakiya was rare.
Looking back at the generals of various generations in history... they often did not have such luck.
Therefore, in many cases, the general was not always full of enthusiasm when having sex with the Imperial Palace or other side rooms.
Ever since, this weird rule was born.
It is true that the intention of this rule is good.
What a pity, from the very beginning, this rule was filled with extremely obvious formalism.
If it was really to prevent the general from taking advantage of the situation, then why bother putting up a screen?
Wouldn't it be more clear and intuitive to just lean in and take a closer look?
In order to avoid suspicion, a screen was specially set up to block the view.
As a result, once blocked by this screen, I couldn't see anything and could only hear sounds.
Are these "supervisors" so capable that they can tell whether a general is fishing just by listening to his voice?
Couldn't the general just yell a few times?
Wanting and wanting at the same time is completely baffling.
This kind of strange and troublesome rules that cannot be changed even if they want to be changed are very common in the shogunate...especially in Ou, and they are not uncommon.
All in all, after Tokugawa Iemo and Wamiya got into bed, the three "supervisors" who were accompanying them immediately took the screen prepared early in the morning, propped it up on the ground, and then sat down in the shape of "pin" behind the screen.
At first, neither Tokugawa Iemo nor Wamiya were accustomed to this feeling of being "supervised."
But gradually, after accumulating experience, they have become very familiar with "treating the 'supervisor' as if they were nothing".
…
…
About half an hour later——
Tokugawa Iemo and Wamiya cuddled together, sharing each other's body temperature.
No matter how perverted Da'ao's rules are, they can't be so perverted that they have to send someone to supervise the general even when he's sleeping.
After the business was over, the three "supervisors" slowly retreated.
Only then did Tokugawa Iemo and Wamiya finally have their own time without anyone to disturb them.
Tokugawa Iemo hugged Wagongiya gently, his lips touching each other's ear:
"He Gong, I'm sorry, it's all my fault for being too dull and causing you to be left out."
Tokugawa Iemo's breath brushed against Wagoniya's ears, causing her to moan uncontrollably:
"My lord, you, you, you are serious! I have never felt wronged!"
"You don't have to worry about me, please spend more time on state affairs!"
Wagongiya is not an eloquent person.
Therefore, the conversation is discontinued.
After the two stopped talking, the sound of light breathing dominated the room.
There was no sound of insects or wind outside.
Because the candles in the room had been extinguished, there was no sound of burning candles.
In the dark bedroom, both parties could only feel each other's breath.
Wakiya closed his eyes, lying in Tokugawa Iemo's arms, enjoying every minute and every second of this rare moment.
Suddenly, she seemed to remember something, her eyes opened slightly, with thoughts and hesitation floating in them.
For a moment, her voice broke the silence:
"...Your Highness, I want to chat with you, is that okay?"
Hearing this, Tokugawa Iemo burst out laughing:
"Of course. We are husband and wife, so we don't have to be so reserved. Just ask."
Tokugawa Iemo's smile and words made Wagoniya feel much more relaxed and no longer had any worries.
After sorting out her words a little, she said calmly:
"Your Highness, I want to talk to you...General Tachibana."
"Tachibana-kun? What's wrong with him?"
"Your Highness, in recent years, even though I have been living in Da'ao and rarely go out, I have heard about your preference for General Tachibana."
"I don't know anything about state affairs or government affairs."
"Therefore, I do not understand your specific intention of promoting General Tachibana."
"only……"
He Gong paused for a moment, hesitating in his eyes as he made a final struggle - this struggle was in vain.
After just a moment, she bit her teeth and continued:
"Although this is just my guess, I always feel that... you have delegated power to General Tachibana without any scruples, and it seems that you intend to give the entire shogunate to him..."
At the end of his words, Wagoniya probably realized that his remarks were too arrogant, so he hurriedly added:
"Your Highness, what I said above are all my lies. If there is any offense, please forgive me!"
After saying that, she buried her cheek in Tokugawa Iemo's arms, not daring to say a word or look up at him.
Fortunately, the scolding and unbearable atmosphere that Wakiya expected did not come.
Tokugawa Iemo not only did not reprimand Wakiya, but actually laughed out loud.
"Ha, haha, hahahaha!" First a few chuckles, then a hearty laugh.
Driven by curiosity, Wakiya slowly raised his confused gaze, looking at the laughing Tokugawa Iemo with a puzzled expression, at a loss.
About 10 seconds later, Tokugawa Iemo, who was laughing happily, calmed down his smile and said slowly:
"He Gong, I will tell you the truth. Before you, many people asked me: 'Why do you prefer Ju Qingden so much?'"
"The people who have this problem include Tianzhang Yuan."
When he heard the name "Tianzhang Yuan", He Gong's expression changed slightly.
For various reasons, her relationship with Tianzhang Academy was not very good.
Although her expression was strange, she quickly adjusted her mood and continued to listen carefully.
At this time, Tokugawa Iemo cast a playful look at her.
"Wakiya, you are the only one who can say, 'You seem to be intending to give the entire shogunate to him.'"
As soon as he finished speaking, He Gong, the back foot, trembled with fear:
"Your Highness, I'm very sorry..."
"No, you don't have to apologize."
After interrupting his words, Tokugawa Iemo opened the quilt slightly and sat up.
Wakiya followed him and sat upright - during this time, Tokugawa Iemo helped her tuck the quilt tightly to cover her naked body.
"Honestly, I didn't want to reveal my thoughts to others so quickly."
"But... now that the matter is over, I will reveal to you my true purpose of vigorously promoting Mr. Tachibana."
"Actually, He Gong, what you just said is neither right nor wrong."
"I don't intend to give the entire shogunate to Qingnobo - because, more accurately, I intend to entrust the entire world to him."
As soon as these words came out, He Gong was stunned.
"Eh? Your Majesty, what does this mean?"
Tokugawa Iemo smiled slightly:
"He Gong, before explaining in detail, let me tell you about my past."
"I succeeded the Kishu domain at the age of 4, and at the age of 13, with the support of the Nanki faction, I became the 14th generation general of the Mezui clan."
"Going to Edo to inherit the position of Shogun is the first time in my life that I have traveled far away."
"On the way from Kishu to Edo, I witnessed too much poverty and desolation."
“The sharecropper who worked hard but was penniless.”
“It’s a store with a limited number of people and it’s hard to survive.”
"And no matter where you go, you will definitely meet rogues and beggars."
“Thanks to this precious journey, my horizons have broadened a lot.”
"Thanks to this precious journey, I am not the kind of 'ignorant' who has never been out of Edo Castle and doesn't even know how much an egg sells for."
"It turns out there are so many poor people in this world."
"I can't bear to look directly at their blood and tears."
"Therefore, after taking charge of the shogunate, I made a great mission: to let the people all over the world live a good life."
"For this reason, I racked my brains and tried every means."
"However... I have obviously tried very hard, but with little success, or even failed."
"Why is this so?"
"I worked hard to explore, and finally got some clues."
"The reason is that the shogunate and the vassals that jointly govern the world are in a state of decay."
"The samurai led by Hatamoto have exhausted the world's money and food."
"Whether it's Hatamoto or the imperial family, they don't have any other skills, but they are very good at eating, drinking and having fun."
"Every day I live in a state of confusion, and I will just rest on my ancestors' merits and wait to die."
"There is only so much food in the world."
"If you eat one more mouthful of these wastes, the people will eat less."
"Unless these borers are completely eradicated, all my efforts will only treat the symptoms but not the root cause."
"But...Hatamoto and the imperial family are the foundation of the Edo shogunate."
"With them, the Edo shogunate came into being."
"Once the foundation is cut off, no matter how magnificent a tall building is, it will collapse in an instant."
"As the supreme leader of the Edo shogunate, if I do this kind of thing of 'digging my own grave,' I'm afraid I will be overthrown by the indignant retainers."
"Since I am unable to reform from within...then I will directly use the most arrogant and violent means to wipe out these gangsters from the outside!"
"There is no need for sympathy at all when dealing with a rotten tree that has rotted away even to its roots."
"I hope that there will be an unparalleled strong man who will wipe out the shogunate and the vassals with unparalleled power and reshape the world! Create an unprecedented peaceful age!"
"So...I have taken a liking to Mr. Tachibana."
"I want Mr. Tachibana to be this great man who makes history."
"Therefore, I spare no effort to support Mr. Tachibana, try every means to help Mr. Tachibana, and use the power of the shogunate to enrich Qinjin."
"The ministers always advise me: I treat Qingdeng so favorably. If he rebels in the future, what can we do to counter his military power?"
"Whenever I hear their remarks, I want to laugh: I wish Qingto could rebel as soon as possible! Eliminate these worms as soon as possible! Eliminate the shogunate and the feudal lords as soon as possible!"
Tokugawa Iemo couldn't help but raise his voice with excitement, his tone full of passion.
He said he was happy, and He Gong was dumbfounded.
"To be honest, when I first came up with this idea, I was very hesitant."
"I actually want to destroy Tokugawa's 300-year-old foundation... I am really a heinous prodigal."
"There was a time when I kept asking myself: Is the thing I should protect the Tokugawa family or the country of all people?"
"Fortunately, it didn't take long before I had a definite answer that I would never be confused about."
Having said this, Tokugawa Iemo paused.
Then, he whispered the famous saying of Emperor Wu of Zhou:
"But if I want to make the people happy, I will not hesitate to suffer in hell."
"After I die, if I see my ancestors and they blame me, all the blame will be placed on me."
"No matter what the consequences are in the end, I'll be happy with it!"
There were passionate words and firm eyes.
At this moment, Tokugawa Iemo's figure filled Wakami's eyes.
"I am..."
Wakiya said softly while putting his little hand into Tokugawa Iemo's big palm.
"I...I will always be by your side! Share your pain!"
Tokugawa Iemo looked at Wagoniya in surprise - the girl who was usually extremely fragile now showed a remarkable awe and looked directly at her husband with firm eyes.
"He Gong, you don't have to be like this..."
"Your Highness, you have your persistence, and I have mine - but if Your Highness is happy, I will not hesitate to suffer in hell!"
