Edo Traveler

Because today was going to the hall to meet the Emperor Xiaoming, Matsudaira Qixuan couldn't wear his hakama as usual. Since he can't wear a relatively simple hakama, there is definitely no way to ride the French Ocean Horse that he has managed to get rid of.

The eldest, Songping Qixuan, was forcibly stuffed into the small sedan cage. There is no way, who said that the clothes on the body are not convenient for riding. And riding an ox cart was too dignified, and Songping Qi Xuan didn't have an ox cart that fit his status for a while.

Holding the original document in his arms, Songping Qi Xuan closed his eyes and fell asleep. He was surrounded by twenty-four loyal and loyal veterans and guards, all of whom he brought out from the Eighth Prince of Wuzhou back then, and they were the most intimate. Dozens of gangsters come at ease, which is simply not enough for these elite veterans to kill.

The rest of the bearers, Kaidao, and others were actually all warriors of the Akashi Domain, but they were not armed with guns, but only carried knives as guards of honor.

After passing Gion, it is the place where the bell of the Gion Jingshe rang, and then crossing the Sanjo Bridge, you can see Honno Temple (not the original site of the Honno Temple in history) and Niwang Gate, and go further, you will see Shangjing District, which is very beautiful. Coming soon to the ban.

Compared with Edo, Kyoto has a much warmer climate. At least in mid-February, there is not much snow. For example, in Edo, in the third month of the lunar calendar, that is, the fourth month of the Western calendar, it still snows heavily.

The change of Sakurada Gate in history happened on the Shangsi Festival, which is the third day of the third month of the lunar calendar. In order to prevent the snow from soaking the wet scabbard, the guard samurai received the knives in cloth bags, which greatly affected their speed of drawing knives when they were attacked.

Fortunately, there is no snow in Kyoto...

"Where are you?" Songping Qixuan, who was really not used to sitting in a sedan chair, opened the sedan door and asked the attendant on the side.

"His Royal Highness, we will cross the Santiao Bridge soon, and there is the Honneng Temple." The samurai servants stopped immediately and respectfully reported to Tong Songping.

The outside world forgot that Matsudaira Qixuan was a little overlord, but they, the warriors of the Akashi Domain, had witnessed Matsudaira Qixuan growing up from a young age. That thing is still fresh in my memory, who knows when the little tyrant's temperament will come up? This old brother has an invincible golden body like the death-free gold medal. After the death of Tokugawa Jiaqing, no one can actually control him.

"Isn't that coming soon?" Songping Qixuan nodded, but he was guilty.

"Yes, in a few moments."

"kindness."

Although it didn't snow, the spring breeze in February was like scissors. As soon as the door of the sedan was opened, the temperature in the sedan dropped instantly. It's really not as good as riding a horse. If you ride a horse, at least you can warm up after exercising, and you won't be so motionless, and then your hands and feet will freeze.

After closing the sedan door, Songping Qixuan looked around at himself to see if his clothes were neatly dressed, and then he helped his crown belt. Although he didn't think much of the imperial court, after all, this negotiation had a lot to do with it. In order to avoid being picked out by others to make a mistake first, it is still necessary to try to avoid problems with this kind of thing.

Just as the team descended from the Three-Body Bridge and passed through the Honneng Temple, a man with a hat suddenly rushed out from the road. This man did not have a sword, at least he did not wear a long sword from the outside.

"I have grievances here, I ask Marquis Akashi to accept it!" Gu

The visitor bowed his head and knelt down in front of the group, holding up a book shape, as if it was the kind of posture that was blocking the road and calling for grievances.

"If there is any grievance, you can report it to the guardian of the capital, Marquis Owari, and get out of the way!" The samurai who cleared the way stepped forward to drive the man away.

As we said before, generally speaking, the common people have grievances, as long as they can send the petition to the general or the old middle school. Then he will always be kind and caring for the people, always be great and correct generals and old middlemen, and will definitely help him uphold justice.

The premise is that you have to see the general or the old middle school, and then be able to send the petition to them.

Matsudaira Qixuan is indeed a senior middle school, and he is second only to Ii Naobi and has the most real power. After all, he was in charge of the military, and under his command, the new army of the training team was illustrious. As long as he accepts the case, then no matter what kind of grievance, he has the ability to help people rehabilitate.

"Also ask Marquis Akashi to accept it!" The man kneeling in front of the team refused to leave.

"Go, go, go and report to Marquis Oizhang." Seeing the person coming was very uninteresting, Songping Qixuan was obviously not ready to accept it, so he knelt down and shouted, Songping Qixuan has a big business today.

First, Songping Qixuan didn't want to deal with such things. He was a person who accepted Western culture, but he was also a defender of the feudal order. The monarch, the ministers, the fathers and the sons are still very important to him. Ordinary people leapfrog to sue or something, he doesn't beat you directly and drive you away, he has been ups and downs for more than ten years, "cultivating self-cultivation".

The second is that he has to seize the time to go to the Imperial Palace to wait for his promotion~www.readwn.com~ If he accepts this person's grievances on the way, what should he do if the time is delayed? He will definitely be attacked by those unreasonable ministers

.

Because this person was at least ten or twenty meters away from Songping Qixuan's sedan chair, and there were many people in between, even if there was a pistol, it was impossible to hit Songping Qixuan in the sedan chair randomly. In addition, looking at the appearance without a saber, the soldiers of the training team guarding Matsudaira Qixuan just stood around the sedan chair and did nothing.

The few warriors who cleared the way were ready to step forward and drag the man away. As long as his petition is not accepted, it can be regarded as ignorant of the matter. At this point in time when the shogunate was in operation, they were used to doing this kind of shrewd tortoise, and everyone was surprised.

At this time, there was a group of people running wildly on the Sanjo Bridge. It was none other than Chief Okita who had just cracked the case of the gathering of the Ikedaya sectarians in Xiajing. He learned from the mouths of the captured Zunzi that there might be an assassination this morning.

Now Beijing is regarded as a thorn in the eyes and thorns in the flesh by the extremists, that is, Tokugawa Keibao and Matsudaira Qixuan. Tokugawa Keibao was stationed in the Nijo Imperial Palace, surrounded by thousands of troops, and it was impossible to assassinate him. Then the target of the assassination could only be Qixuan Matsudaira, who was going to enter the forbidden area this morning.

Looking at the ranks of Songping Qixuan from a distance, they are stopping on the road at the moment, and it seems that something is blocking it. But at least nothing happened, Director Okita breathed a sigh of relief.

But before he could finish his breath, he saw a figure shaking on the side of the courtyard wall of the Honneng Temple, that is, at the end of Songping Qixuan's queue.

"There are assassins!"
