Edo Traveler

Vol 3 Chapter 30: Zhu Que is striving for the people

At this station of Chuemon, the person could stand up!

Recently, the people of Edo went up and down without glaring their eyes, looking at the Mizuno Tadakuni family who had been fainted. The residence of Tadakuni Mizuno was under Edo Castle, facing Kyobashi, and it was one of the most prosperous places in Edo. Of course, even in later generations, Kyobashi is one of the most prosperous places in Tokyo.

It was the evening, and Chuemon, who had been standing outside the Hamamatsu clan residence for two hours, was now a lively snowman. The samurai who went home on duty and the town people who left work were all in Kyobashi on the opposite bank. Seeing a person, he was so lonely, but standing very conspicuously.

As the "Wisdom Edo River" that has long been famous in Edo, even if there is only one back, someone can definitely recognize Chuemon. Besides, don’t we still have a little brother mixing in the crowd, and don’t say anything. When someone asks Mr. Edogawa what he is doing, he quietly adds such a sentence, he is begging for the people!

That's it!

Looking at the people of Edo, their lives are in pain because of rising prices. As the local official of Edo, Chuemon is preparing to write to the master Mizuno Hamamatsu, who is in charge of the government, asking him to abolish the orders that make the people feel painful. Let the people live happily, instead of working hard all day long without getting enough warmth.

When I heard it was such a thing, many people felt inexplicable for Chuemon. Never thought that there are such good officials in the world who are willing to speak to the higher officials for the people.

Like the Yuanshan Yuan, it was so refreshing that he screamed at Mizuno Zhongbang, saying that you were abusing the people, and then resigned and retired after speaking. It's actually speaking for the common people, but after finishing talking, whoever likes to do it will do it. If this is the common people elsewhere, you may still feel that you are not bad at least.

But this is in Edo, at the foot of the general, where the people are the most knowledgeable and politically sensitive. Which one is higher between Chuemon and Yuanshan Yuan, and that doesn't need to be explained at all. The common people have a scale in their hearts and can distinguish them clearly.

The crowd gathered on both sides of Kyobashi and on the opposite bank, and cast admiring glances at Chuemon, who had been standing in the snow for more than three hours, and more and more people were waiting for the development of the incident.

Only Chuemon knew it.

It's cold!

It doesn't matter if you freeze your hands and feet, the snow is still a little bit wet, and the clothes are wet. When the clothes were wet, it was nothing more than uncomfortable, but the underwear also started to get wet. It was still cold and wet, the egg hurts!

Tadaemon, who wished to take off all his clothes and put on dry clothes, found a campfire, and drank a large bowl of hot soup. Now he only has the one who pretends to be half of the pretend and doesn’t want to put it on anymore. Kind of riding a tiger is hard to get off.

Hey, this is really the father-in-law entering the daughter-in-law's room, neither entering nor retreating. There is no other way but to carry it all the way. It's not that Mizuno's temperament is so strong, so let's really leave Chungemon outside the door all night. With our false name, it's certainly not enough.

I can think about it, but the facts obviously didn't follow Chuemon's idea. It was completely dark, and the lantern was hung in the Hamamatsu clan residence, and the dim light reflected on Chuemon, dragging a shadow of the old man.

The only thing that Chuemon did not expect was that the people around the neighborhood gathered more and more, and the crowd supported Chuemon in this way, hoping that the prime minister Mizuno Tadoku at the gate would be able to receive him. Through the Chuemon Gate, he learned about the suffering of the people and abolished those unreasonable lives.

When the night breeze was strong, the Kanto wind blew on Chuemon's body, and Chuemon was trembling with the cold. The whole person looks a little shaky, which makes people feel distressed.

The crowd had spread, saying that Chuemon had stood outside this gate for four hours (only five hours in fact) from noon until nightfall, all for the well-being of the people of Edo!

"Hamamatsu, please open the door!"

I didn't know who it was, and suddenly shouted. Immediately afterwards, more and more onlookers shouted. Regardless of the heavy snow and cold wind, hundreds of people surrounded the Hamamatsu clan residence. In support of Tademon's righteous deeds, they finally issued a suppressed cry in their hearts.

"Hamamatsu, please open the door!"

"Hamamatsu, please open the door!"

"Hamamatsu, please open the door!"

...

The voices gathered, and the momentum rose to the sky. The snow on the eaves of the gate of the Hamamatsu Mansion was shocked by the shouts of hundreds of people, and they rushed straight on the heads of the guards guarding the gate.

Chuemon looked back from side to side, his heart moved. Doing this on my own was originally just for my own self-interest, but now it has been recognized by so many people. Perhaps what the people of Edo are asking for is not a truly upright, honest, and selfless good official. They only hope that their demands can be expressed for them instead of just dying anonymously in complete silence.

It happened to be me, and it happened at the time, maybe so.

The situation outside the Hamamatsu clan residence can be seen by anyone who is not blind. Even the feudal vassals such as the Takada Matsudaira family, the Kusei family, the Ohanai family, and the Akimoto family came out to check the situation of the Hamamatsu feudal clan under the orders of their lord. Everyone is waiting for Mizuno's decision. Is he really going to be a "dominant husband" who stands on the opposite side of the people of Edo.

The door is open!

The gate of the mansion ~www.wuxiaspot.com~, which originally seemed to never open, finally opened under a strong pull. A samurai carrying a lantern walked to Chuemon, and called out softly.

"My lord, please come in and see Mr. Edogawa."

"Please wait..." Chuemon said slowly, not because of anything else, but it was cold enough, for fear that he would say it soon, and the trembling voice would ruin his image.

And the point is that people are frozen, and suddenly want to go, you can't go at all. The hands and feet are numb, and you need to move a little bit to let the blood flow before you can move forward.

The visitor did not force Chuemon to leave immediately, and he probably also knew that Mizuno's series of chaotic lives had made Edo Castle mournful. Just because of the status of the retainer, many things cannot be said to his lord. Nowadays, some people are willing to say that it may not be a good thing.

Chuemon, who moved a little bit, felt that he was already able to take a small step. Under the watchful eyes of hundreds of people, he entered the finally opened door, met Mizuno Tadakuni, and told him the shortcomings of the reform measures. To build a bridge between them and Mizuno Tadakuni for the people of Edo who are in pain.
