The new secret army of the shogunate: the new shogunate. This Tsukigiya Shrine is the headquarters of the new shogunate. All the people in this shrine are members of the new shogunate. The woman in front of me is the chief minister of the shogunate.

Yutaisuo is secretly the leader of the new Yutingban... Any of the above are secrets that can make Qingdeng's brain buzz.

To be honest, it would be too difficult for Qingdeng to accept this series of shocking facts immediately.

Tianzhang Court very considerately gave Qingdeng time to digest and relax.

"Everyone in this shrine is a member of the New Imperial Palace?"

"Yes."

"Including the two sisters Sae and Yae?"

"I made it very clear just now, right? These two sisters are excellent female ninjas that I have put a lot of effort into cultivating."

"Kunoichi...a child at such a young age is a kunoichi?"

"Kekekekeke~"

Tianzhangyuan covered his mouth and smiled.

"Ji Jun, you seem to have misunderstood. Those two sisters are just shorter and have tender faces, so they look younger. In fact, they are the same age as you, and they are exactly 18 years old this year."

"18?!"

Qingdeng's mouth opened wide enough to fit an egg in an instant.

There was no way he could send these two sisters to elementary school without any sense of disobedience. Their figures could perfectly blend into the group of elementary school students and have any connection with the number "18"...

Qingden closed his mouth and his neck became stiff again.

In this way... it all makes sense why Tenzouin appears here as the "Superior Miko" and "Shrine Miyi", and why the old man named Tiankang Xiao has such superb skills.

Qingdeng, who gradually recovered from the bombardment of huge amounts of information, glanced at Tianzhang Courtyard a few times.

"...His Royal Highness Tenjoin, you are leaving Edo Castle without permission...is that okay?"

The main job and daily task of the Odaisho is to help the general manage Ootai, the general's harem.

However, what Tianzhangyuan has done in recent years has long gone beyond the duties of the Great Imperial Palace.

Tokugawa Iemo, who had no foundation in Edo and had no one to rely on, often asked the wise Tenjoin for advice.

And Tianzhangyuan also responded to Tokugawa Iemo's requests.

This has become the most common criticism of the Tianzhang Academy by the "Itobashi Sect" - managing the Great Olympia, which is the responsibility of His Highness. However, His Highness ignores his own duties, interferes in the affairs of the bureau, and makes irresponsible remarks on the affairs of the country. I wonder if His Highness wants to imitate the Han Dynasty

The Lu Pheasant, the Tang Dynasty Wu Zhao?

Influenced by Chinese culture, ancient Japanese intellectuals especially loved to use Chinese and Turkish allusions to make reference.

For example, when Oshio Heihachiro launched the uprising 23 years ago, he clearly stated in his slogan: "The sun, moon and stars can serve as a clear guide to our purpose; Gai Wei is following the example of Tang, Wu, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, and Emperor Ming Dynasty.

Just sincerely" slogan.

Since the assassination of Naomi Ii, the "Hitobashi faction", which has lost the suppression of strongmen, is currently gaining power.

There are countless members of the "Ichibashi faction" who regard Tokugawa Iemo as a thorn in their side and a thorn in their flesh, and want to pull Tokugawa Iemo from the position of general.

They may stubbornly despise the young Tokugawa Iemo, believing that in the current crisis of survival, only the older and well-known Hitotsubashi Keiki can lead the country out of the predicament.

Or they simply want to replace someone as a general who is more obedient and can help them gain more political benefits.

These people are now keeping their eyes wide open, waiting for Tianzhang Academy to make a mistake.

If they were allowed to find an opportunity, they would definitely attack Tenzōin en masse like a pack of wolves smelling new flesh and blood, weakening the power of the "Nanki Sect" and Tokugawa Iemo who was forced into power by the "Nanki Sect" in one fell swoop.

.

Tenjoin left Edo Castle without authorization and went to this shrine located on the outskirts of Edo to lead this secret force newly built by Tokugawa Iemo... If the people of the "Hitobashi Sect" knew about this, it would be nothing

It's a small thing...

Not only Tenzouin will suffer, Tokugawa Iemo will also be implicated.

Although Qingdeng's question was a little vague, the meaning was accurately conveyed to Tianzhang Academy.

"Cackle, cluck, cluck~~"

Tianzhangyuan, who showed a free and easy expression, laughed several times.

"Thank you for your concern."

"Don't worry about me."

"Since I will shoulder the heavy responsibility of establishing and operating the new Yuting Fan, I must be fully prepared."

What preparations have been made? Tianzhangyuan did not continue.

Qingdeng also knew enough not to ask any further questions.

At this time, Qingden realized that his throat was very thirsty because he had not drank water for a long time.

He picked up the black tea that was just warm in front of his knees and took a sip.

The aroma was very strong... but Qingden couldn't taste it at all - all his attention was now focused on a serious issue that made his brows wrinkle uncontrollably.

Qingdeng put the teacup back to its original position without much tea, and then quietly expressed the question that made him frown:

"...His Royal Highness Tenzouin. Since this shrine is the headquarters of the New Imperial Palace...then why did you visit the headquarters of the Imperial Palace?"

Tianzhangyuan smiled but said nothing.

He just silently pulled a delicate wooden box next to him, and with a very respectful movement, he took out a neatly folded document from the box with both hands.

Tianzhangyuan opened the document and read the contents of the document with a very solemn expression and tone.

This document is written in complicated and difficult to understand ancient Japanese, which makes people feel dizzy...but fortunately, the content of the document is not long.

After a moment, Tianzhang Academy put down the documents that had been read.

As Tianzhangyuan finished speaking, this tastefully decorated guest room seemed to be suddenly dragged into the deep sea without light, and was surrounded by a solemn silence.

Silence fell between Qingdeng and Tianzhangyuan. The sound of cicadas chirping from the distance and the sound of someone sweeping the floor sounded inexplicably distant.

After a while, Qingdeng seemed to come back to his senses. He slowly turned his surprise and disbelief into a voice:

"Transfer the lower official... to the new imperial court?"

Tianzhangyuan folded up the official documents in his hand and said with a smile:

"Congratulations, Orange-kun. From today on, you are a part of my new Royal Court."

The large phone call that Tianzhangyuan just read to the official document... more than half of the content was meaningless preface, official talk, and clichés.

Throughout the entire article, only a few sentences are truly meaningful.

And if you compress these few sentences that have content... you can directly compress them into a simple vernacular: From now on, Qingdeng is the new member of the new Yuting Fan!

Qingdeng subconsciously doubted whether he heard it wrong...but he was convinced that his hearing was better. The "perceiver of the wind" made Qingdeng not to mention the Tianzhang Courtyard in front of him, but also the birds chirping dozens of meters away.

He could hear the cicadas chirping clearly.

Tianzhangyuan put the official document that smelled of ink back into the wooden box.

Smiling, silent, quietly waiting for Qingdeng's response.

"His Royal Highness Tianzhangin, so...does this mean that while I will be the captain of the third division of the Fire Thieves Kaiden Division and the leader of the seventh division of the Advanced Archer Division in the future, do you want me to concurrently serve as the banshi of the new imperial division?" Qingto asked.

.

"Yes." Tianzhangyuan nodded.

Qingden lowered his head in silence and scratched his hair.

This lowering of the head made Tianzhangyuan unable to see Qingdeng's current expression clearly.

Tokugawa Iemo, Tenjoin, the brand new secret army, the fire bandit Kai... These words flew and swirled in Aoto's mind, and finally merged into Aoto's thoughts.

--I see……

Qingdeng suddenly murmured in his heart.

--So this is ah……

The "fog" that trapped the brain slowly dissipated.

The various thoughts and conjectures in my mind were originally as chaotic as a ball of yarn that had been played with by a cat... All the lines of this ball of yarn were now clarified and arranged one by one.

Why should I, who has never had any experience in "carrying out secret missions", suddenly be transferred to the new Yuting Fan...

Why did he announce to himself the news that "the general has decided to transfer you to the New Imperial Ban" in such a sneaky way as "secretly summoning myself to the New Royal Court Headquarters"?

And... why was he able to be promoted to the position of leader of the Fire Thieves Kai squad and leader of the vanguard bow team in one go...

It dawned on me.

All these questions are easily answered.

"...His Royal Highness Tianzhangyuan, can you please allow me to ask a question?"

"Excuse me."
