Needless to say, the importance of "righteousness" is important.

As far as legal matters are concerned, Tokugawa Keiki's ascension to the throne was an unswerving usurpation.

However, things like "legalism" require strength to endorse.

The "legal principles" of the weak are just a joke.

If there were no state violence such as police, military and other states to support it, then the legal documents would be just a pile of waste paper and no one would comply with it.

When people in the world do not recognize the "Northern Shogunate", then it is a false palace that is despised.

But on the other hand, if there are powerful forces - such as the Western vassals - to stand up for the "Northern Shogunate", then the fake will become real!

Qing Deng thought secretly: The "Yiqiao Sect" must have sent envoys to contact the vassals of the Western Kingdoms.

Although this world is a large strait team, Aoden does not think that Tokugawa Keiki's sudden usurpation of the throne is a product of a sudden thrill of mind.

Otherwise, this is just a reason to give war to Qingdeng for free.

To quell the rebellion and to wipe out the traitors - there is no more just reason for war in this world than it.

If you don’t find a thigh to hug, then the “Northern Shogunate” will not survive for half a year.

Looking at the current situation, the powerful forces with the ability and motivation to assist the "Northern Shogunate" are only the Western vassals.

As long as we join forces with the Western vassals, the "Yiqiao Sect" will have a chance to turn defeat into victory!

Qingdeng has deduced the action logic of the "Yiqiao Sect": using usurpation of the throne as a bargaining chip to create divisions in the shogunate and raise its own value in exchange for favor from the Western vassals.

Which party has more cooperation value is obvious at a glance, "The former general will meet the post" and "The 15th Generation General of the Meta-Zhengyi" are more valuable.

From another perspective, Tokugawa Keiki's usurpation of the throne may not be another form of "vote forbidden".

He steals his position as the leader, completely blocks his own way of retreat, and shows his sincerity.

Although this move is quite radical and almost crazy, it is by no means useless.

It is impossible for the Western vassals to be uninterested in this new shogunate - if it were Aoden, he would definitely contact the "Northern Shogunate" as soon as possible to discuss alliance matters.

If the Western vassals really established an offensive and defensive alliance with the "Northern Shogunate" and each took the needs... It is no exaggeration to say that there are endless troubles!

By then, the Western vassals will transform from a strait enemy to a loyal minister of the shogunate, and then launch a political offensive against Qingdeng on the grounds of "straitor to support the shogunate and destroy the orange thieves" to suppress the political legitimacy of the "Southern Shogunate".

To sum up, the threat of the "Northern Shogunate" cannot be underestimated.

After sorting out the interests, Qingdeng raised his head to look at the western skyline and thought to himself:

——Sure enough, the Western vassals are the number one enemy at present...!

After all, only when the "Northern Shogunate" is bound to the Western vassals will pose a great threat.

A "Northern Shogunate" who fights alone is not afraid of at all.

Therefore, the main contradiction is the vassals of the Western Kingdom!

As long as this main contradiction is resolved, other secondary contradictions will naturally be resolved.

Thinking of this, Qingdeng slightly lowered his eyelids and stared at the West with deep eyes.

The current situation in the world is quite clear: since the Battle of Sekihara, a new round of world-class duels!

Either the Eastern Army destroy the Western Army, or the Western Army destroys the Eastern Army!

...

...

Apart from "Tokugawa Keiki's usurpation of the throne", he did not receive any other important news along the way.

The journey was smooth and arrived in Otsu safely.

When Qingdeng saw Lake Biwa, spring had quietly arrived.

【Note·Biwa Lake: Japan's largest Tamsui lake is located on the north side of Otsu, adjacent to Otsu]

The early spring breeze swept across my ears, and there was the fragrance of flowers and plants in the warmth.

Sniffing the refreshing smell in the air, Qingdeng suddenly felt refreshed.

Although it was a bit pretentious to say this, he did feel the "scent of home" at this moment.

After returning to Otsu, the first thing Aiden had to do was naturally to place the Tianzhangyuan, Tokugawa Ishishi and Wagumiya in the safest place.

Unfortunately, Otsu Castle has not yet been completed.

Because this brand new city will adopt a bastion structure, both funds and labor hours are overwhelming.

Although Yataro Iwasaki - who is fully responsible for the construction of Otsu Castle - has mobilized manpower and material resources to the greatest extent, he has only barely completed half of the wall at present.

Therefore, Qingdeng could only let these three noble people live in the Orange Mansion for the first time - this is the safest place inside and outside Otsu, no doubt.

In this way, Tianzhangyuan met Zuo Nazi and the others.

...

...

Qinjinfan, Otsu, Okinawa-

Tianzhangyuan sat politely, with his hands folded on his legs, smiling between his cheeks, and looking at the three girls in front of him with a gentle expression.

"I am in Tianzhangyuan and will bother you from now on. Please forgive me."

After saying that, she bent down and pressed her fingers against the ground, saluting the three girls - a very beautiful etiquette that she could not find any fault.

Immediately afterwards, Hegong, who was bent down and said seriously in a serious tone:

"I am in the palace and the palace, and I am very ashamed. I should not do anything to be vain and listen to me, but I am foolish and have to disturb you. I feel helpless because of the matter. If I am forgiven for abrupt crime, I should be enshrined in my five senses."

Looking at the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who bent over and salute, revealing her smooth neck, and Zonazi sitting side by side, A Wu and the Chief Secretary were both stunned.

Qingdeng had long sent letters, stating in detail on the letter paper that "Tianzhangyuan and others will live with us for a period of time."

Therefore, they made sufficient psychological preparations for the arrival of Tianzhangyuan and others.

However...with that said, it still made them feel shocked to see Tianzhangyuan and Hegong - the two most noble women in the world - sitting side by side in front of them.

One is the Shogunate Okutaku + Princess Satsuma, and the other is the Shogunate Okutaku + Princess of the Royal Family.

In terms of bloodline, it is more noble than the palace than the Tianzhangyuan.

The latter is from the sidelines of the Satsuma Shimazu family, while the former is a royal princess who is 800 years old.

During the Edo period, the strong concept of hierarchy was rooted in the deep thoughts of the world.

Therefore, even though Zonako and others who were used to the wind and waves, they couldn't help feeling scared at this time.

About 5 seconds later, Zunazi reacted first and bowed to the courtesy without being humble or arrogant:

"Your Highness the Great Imperial Territory, Your Highness the Imperial Territory, please raise your head."

This kind of scene still has to be dealt with by Zunako.

She is worthy of being the well-educated Yamato Satsuko.

Whether it is etiquette or wording, it is perfect, and it is impossible to tell that it is a woman from the martial arts family.

Even Hegong, who was arrogant and prejudiced to the Wu family, couldn't help but raise his eyes and glanced at Zuo Nazi a few more times, with a brilliance flashing in his eyes.

Qingdeng sat aside throughout the whole process, leading both sides to get to know each other.

He and Tianzhangyuan already have a husband and wife. At the strong request of Tianzhangyuan, this secret has not been revealed.

As usual, they play "a harmonious monarch and minister" in front of others.

Having said that, in recent days, the news that "Ju Qingdeng had an affair with Tianzhangyuan" has been circulating in the market, just like a storm of a storm, and it is getting stronger and stronger.

There is no doubt that behind it, there must be the "Yiqiao faction" - perhaps it should be called the "Northern Shogunate" - which is a fuelling force.

"The harem of the harem is in trouble" is one of the excuses for the rebellion of the "Northern Shogunate", and it is impossible for them not to make great efforts to promote it.

In fact, long before the "Northern Shogunate" attacked, there were related gossips circulating in the market.

It is no wonder that Qingdeng and Tianzhangyuan are well-known for their intimate relationship.

Nowadays, all kinds of strange rumors are spreading with noses and eyes.

What is "Tianzhangyuan is lonely and let Qingdeng go to bed every night", what is "Qingdeng caught the handle of Tianzhangyuan and coerced her hard"... Even the baseless rumors such as "Tianzhangyuan secretly helped Qingdeng give birth to a child" appeared.

Nowadays, Qingdeng and Tianzhangyuan live under the same roof.

It is not difficult to imagine that the "affective literature" with Qingdeng and Tianzhangyuan as the protagonists will probably... no, it will definitely be more popular!

Previously, Qingdeng would only sneer at these rumors.

However...notice other rumors, "Ju Qingdeng has an affair with Tianzhangyuan" has become a real reality.

If Zuo Nazi and the others knew his secret relationship with Tianzhangyuan... To be honest, Qingdeng couldn't imagine what kind of reaction the three of them would show.

Regardless of the impact of "one more 'companion'", the "one husband and Daotai's all-in-one" alone is enough to make the three girls dumbfounded.

Thinking of this, Qingdeng couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.
