Edo Traveler

Vol 2 Chapter 17: There is nothing to say about examining the remains

   Everyone who is not blind can see that there is a big funeral in the Shimadzu Mansion, otherwise they will not suddenly be in a mess, crying in unison. It looks like this, I am afraid that something will happen to me today.

   Fortunately, it was clearly written on the mourning sign at the door, and from the four Dr. Matsudaira Kingo!

   I won't explain much about the title, but the name is clear at a glance, called Shimazu Qixuan. Thanks to Tadashiemon who had watched "Atsuhime" before crossing through, I also knew that this man was Atsuhime's grandfather, the grandfather of Tenshoin who was the champion of Edo's bloodless opening of the city in the TV drama.

   Said that this Shimadzu Qixuan is also a person of the generation of loving old monks. If I remember correctly this year, he should be 70 years old. Alas, the characters of their generation have passed away, and it is even more difficult to figure out things related to the loving old monk.

   The samurai guarding the gate saw Chungemon Heizo coming over, but he didn't get dizzy because of the sudden funeral. They ran up to greet the two, but they also clearly said that they could not receive it. If it was a major event, they could report the feudal lord Shimazu Qixing who was in Edo. If there is nothing major, then you can only ask back.

  As he was talking, a mourning messenger ran into Edo Castle, apparently reporting Shimanzu's death to the shogunate. After the death of the vassal daimyo in the Edo period, it is necessary to explain the cause of death to the shogunate. Those who are not clear about the way are likely to be severely punished by the entire domain.

   The most famous example is Fukushima Masanori. Legend has it that he could not stand the castle lord who was reduced from 500,000 stone to 45,000 stone by the shogunate, and finally committed suicide by cutting his belly. Then the family did not wait for the angel of the shogunate to arrive, so he was cremated, and the officials who came to inspect the shogunate painfully investigated the matter. In the name of this, the Fukushima family was completely cut down.

   Now that Shimadzu Qi is dead, he is not allowed to even converge, and he needs to report to the shogunate immediately. Then the general dispatched the big eye to pay, and the Lao Zhong dispatched to follow it, and all checks were correct. After confirming that it was a sick or old death, the convergence and subsequent funerals could be carried out.

   Then it is necessary to report to the other princes, the banner of the body, and the court officials. According to example, princes like Shimazu Qixuan have passed away, and they must be given as gifts. Generally, a person like him can be rewarded to the top four from the top four. The three are not ordinary people who have a chance to get involved again, and they can't die.

   "Let's go directly to Toyama-sama's mansion." Chuemon thought for a while.

   We don’t know which of the Tokugawa Ikeki sects came, but Tadakuni Mizuno must have sent them to the Edo-cho, who was just at home, to perform the inspection of Yuanshan Yuan. For one thing, Yuanshan Yuan is a cronies of Mizuno Tadakuni's party, and secondly, Yuanshan Yuan is now on a shift. There is no other business to deal with, so he can come to Shimadzu's residence for inspection.

   "Understood!" Heizo now understands the party in seconds, and Chungemon immediately understands it.

   The two rushed to Yuanshan’s house, they just reported their names and entered the house, Yuanshan Yuan didn’t even finish talking about tea. It was a coincidence that Mizuno asked Toyamamoto to inspect the remains of Shimazu Qixuan on behalf of the shogunate immediately. It is impossible for Yuan Jingyuan to go and look at the remains himself. He just lacked two helpers, and he was rushing to deliver the two to the door, so he didn't need it in vain.

   did not need Chuemon and Heizo to speak, Yuan Yanyuan hurriedly changed his clothes, and did not ask if there was anything else between them, only said that he should hurriedly follow to the residence of Takanawa Shimazu. The Japanese culture of subordinates and subordinates seems to be like this. If the boss has something to do, the subordinates must follow it unconditionally.

   is just what I want!

   followed into the Shimadzu clan residence, people are now in chaos and order. Shimazu Qixing, who was attending work in Edo, received Yuanshan Yuan as the benefactor, and Ryobi Omesuke, who was appointed by Tokugawa Ieki, also rushed over. After the two shogunate flags discussed the matter, they formally inquired Shimazu Qixing about the cause of Shimazu Qixuan's death.

   What's the cause of death! Shimadzu Qixuan is 70 years old, and people are scarce in the 70s. In the age when you can live 50, even if you live, you can just stretch your legs when you are 70 years old.

  Shimazu Qixing's report is of course the same, only that his father is not very comfortable after spring because of the hot weather. After resting last night, I said this morning that I was a little out of breath. When the doctor came to see him for medical treatment, before he came up with a prescription, he hiccuped, spit out a turbid breath in his mouth, and his head crooked, and he died.

   It’s a normal situation. After listening to Shimazuki’s reply and writing the report carefully, Abe Ryobi and Toyama Motoyama ordered Chuemon Heizo to personally inspect Shimazu’s body for any obvious injuries or poisoning. sign. A report must also be issued, and then passed to Mizuno Tadakuni and other veterans and general Tokugawa Ieki for reading.

   Chungemon has passed through, can you still avoid being a dead old man? Let’s talk about what we did in the past, I have seen more dead old men go to ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Shimazu Qixuan has just passed away. If you may not be respectful, the body is not cold enough, just like falling asleep. There is nothing to dare to do. Anyway, thinking in my heart that the old man fell asleep, fell asleep, fell asleep...

   There was no trauma, no toxic substances were detected in the throat or abdomen, and the deceased had no obvious signs of struggle or pain during his lifetime. The body started to stiffen naturally, apparently not undergoing strenuous exercise before death. The mouth and tongue were opened gently, and there was no foul smell. Anyway, the inspection of the inspection is completed and the report is written seriously.

   Tokayamamoto sat watching Tadaoemon flipping Shimazuki's body. He looked carefully. Although he didn't need to do it himself, when he entered the city, I might call Tokugawa Ieki to ask him in person. Shimadzu’s affairs are nothing trivial, and the shogunate has always been very defensive against foreign names such as Shimadzu and Maori, and has never relaxed for a moment.

   "Tadaemon, please write an entry carefully." Yuanshan Yuan got up and ordered Chuemon.

   "One more copy!" Yobe Ryobi also reports, of course he needs a spare copy.

   "The lower official understands." Someone from the left and right handed in paper and pen, and Chuemon wrote it, while Heizo copied it by the side.

   "The two of you will go to the cubicle for a while, and Rongben's house will stop..." Shimazu Qixing saw that the shogunate's inspection was over, of course he had to clean up for his father, and he couldn't keep his father lying here.

   The mourner said, Yuanshan Yuan and Obe Ryobi had nothing to say, so they left. Another Shimadzu retainer walked in and began to make arrangements. Chuemon raised his head and glanced up. This person had so small eyes that they didn't feel like they were widened. He thought of a singer named Li in later generations.

   "I'm Shigefu and Jiro Zhongjiao, there are two of you."

   Tademon, who was just laughing, was about to explode with a bang!
