公辺御悔悟

勅書の御返請振り以来攘夷御処置の御決着振りいかんにあるやの事と存じ奉り候。目今のところ実に所謂一刻千金よりも重価極めて御大切の御時節と存じ奉り候につき、重罰を顧みず鄙見申し上げ奉り候。大凡そ物すべて偶然に非ず、事すべて徒爾に非ず、或る識者の詩に申し候「邦家の隆低偶然に非ず、人世の得失徒爾に非ず」。天下の安危万民の死生に相関わり候程の儀はその縁起根原因て来るところの者甚だ遠く甚だ深きは固より知るべし。されば此度列藩謀議を天奏し、薩長の二藩は殊に親上、その上山陽南海西国の浪士等蜂起群集し、旗旌を挙げ鸞輿を函嶺に游ばし奉るべし、惰を振るうため先ず所司代を誅せん、公辺に構わず攘夷の勅を五幾道に下さん等々騒動申し立て候儀、御冊中にも相見え候。事実果していかんは伺い奉る計り候えども、前文非偶非徒の理合いを推して勘弁仕り候えば、右等騒動も固より左も有るべき自然の勢とは存じ奉り候。就いては

叡慮御三策の思し召しも先ずとくと非偶非徒の理合い御勘弁にて、事柄の縁起根源を逐一御回顧御悟得遊ばされ候わば全く

御真実の仰せ進められ、拠なき御次第柄等委曲に御得度進ばるべし。然る上は右の内御奉行御辞謝の有無とも、是非利害までも自然一目御了然の御事にて、転禍為福古教の如く

公武の御間柄も幸いに万世御熟固為し成さるべしと存じ奉り候。然るところ万一左もなく、猶もその縁起根源御回顧御得度なく、矢張り替わりなく井蛙管天の隘見をもって尋常区々の規矩を推して御勘考遊ばされ候わば、国持外様の方には

公辺を侮り奉り反逆相企て、攘夷に事寄せ宮堂上方を取扱い候儀にて、就中

叡慮の御儀も甚だ疑わしく、御三策の御ケ条全く御難題の様のみにも思し召さるべく候。然る上は

叡慮御真実御奮発の御趣意終に御通轍為し成されず

公武の御融意はもちろん、彼の薩長二藩をはじめ外様の方々も果して全文の反逆と相成り、終に御回顧御悟得、禍を転じて福と成すの機会御失墜、前文千金一髪の御繋続も一旦御断絶と為し成さるべしと計り難く存じ奉り候。仮令

公辺にても以来大いに御奮発御振武為し在りとも、素と御奮発の御筋柄

公武御齟齬の上は所詮皇国一和一団の正気振張は得難き事にて、詰まり攘夷の御大策は御出来為し在らざる

御事と恐察奉り候。これによりて右御尋ねの儀は御三策の是非利害専らの様伺い畏り候えども、愚臣偕妄を顧みず忌諱を憚らず、窃かにその縁起由来を勘弁仕り、先ず右を第一に主として申し上げ奉り、次に

御三策の儀はその源を抉りてその源を通し、その根を絶ててその枝を枯らす旨意にて申し上げ奉り候。また其の次に薩長二藩の異同、公卿浪士等の心実区々善悪相混じ、御油断成り難きの委細も長舌恐れ多く越俎を憚らず、愚存の趣左件條目を設けて申し上げ奉り候。

御三策の末章にて已むを得ず、去る三日夜草稿筆を止め申し候

縁起源根由来深遠の次第　附公武一髪の御仔細

嘉永六年癸丑六月（これ以前公辺居治の御失慮、思乱の御遺策は恐れ多く暫く論ぜず）亜墨利加船数艘浦賀表へ到来、陽に兵威を示めしその実貿易貪利を要る。譬えば江都柳原古衣店の不案内田舎人を要するがごとく、一通り商売欲得利は大抵手底恭辞をもって求むべきを、返って権威高く嘲り罵り等々権詐譎謀をもって貪大利、大小の比莫大不同と雖もその情実全くこれ等と相等しき事にて、その節天下の志士はもちろん市童走卒まで切歯扼腕せざる者なし。左れどもその度は一時御権謀をもって彼の驕慢無礼も強いて御差含み遊ばされ、通信貿易の請願御許容相成り候儀は水府老公を御詰合様始め薩肥（この御三藩のごときは憂国奮発この二十年以前より疾くに御励治の御事にて、列藩の規則とも公論申し候儀御座候）その外列藩へも御相談の上御取計いには相成り候やに承知仕り候。いかにも御兵

Repentance of the Public Authority

Since the return of the imperial edict, I believe the matter concerns how the expulsion of foreigners will be resolved. At present, this is truly a more precious and extremely crucial time than the so-called "moment worth a thousand gold pieces," so I humbly present my humble views without regard for severe punishment. Generally speaking, nothing happens by chance, nothing occurs without reason. As a certain scholar's poem states, "The rise and fall of nations is not by chance, human fortune and misfortune are not without reason." When it comes to matters affecting the security of the realm and the life and death of all people, the origins and fundamental causes are naturally very distant and very deep. Therefore, this time the various domains have petitioned the throne through conspiracy, with Satsuma and Chōshū domains being especially close to the emperor. Moreover, the rōnin of Sanyō, Nankai, and western provinces have risen up in swarms, raising banners, saying they will escort the imperial palanquin to Hakone, and to shake off lethargy they will first execute the Kyoto deputy, and regardless of the bakufu they will issue imperial edicts for expelling foreigners to the various circuits - such disturbances are mentioned in your volume. Though I cannot presume to know the actual facts, reasoning from the principle that things are neither accidental nor purposeless, I believe such disturbances are naturally inevitable forces.

Therefore, regarding His Majesty's Three Policies, if you first carefully consider the principle that things are neither accidental nor purposeless, and thoroughly reflect upon and understand the origins and sources of these matters, then completely

Your true intentions will be expressed, and the unavoidable circumstances will be understood in detail. In that case, whether to carry out or decline these policies, and their merits and demerits, will naturally become clear at a glance, and as the ancient teaching says, "turning misfortune into blessing,"

I believe the relationship between court and military government will fortunately be consolidated for ten thousand generations. However, if this is not the case, and there is still no reflection upon or understanding of those origins and sources, and you continue unchanged with the narrow view of a frog in a well, reasoning from ordinary petty rules, then the great outside domains will

despise the bakufu and plan rebellion, using the expulsion of foreigners as a pretext to manipulate the court and court nobles, and especially

His Majesty's intentions will become highly suspicious, and the articles of the Three Policies will be thought of only as completely unreasonable demands. In that case,

**Main Text:**
His Majesty's true intentions and vigorous determination will ultimately not be achieved,

Not only will there be no harmony between court and military government, but even those Satsuma and Chōshū domains and other outside domains will indeed become completely rebellious, ultimately losing the opportunity to reflect, understand, and turn misfortune into blessing. The previously mentioned connection of "a thousand gold pieces hanging by a single hair" will also be severed. Even if

the bakufu hereafter greatly rouses itself and demonstrates martial vigor, since the fundamental basis for such arousal

lies in discord between court and military government, ultimately the righteous spirit of national unity and solidarity in the imperial country will be difficult to achieve, and in the end the great policy of expelling foreigners will not be accomplished.

This is what I fearfully surmise. Therefore, while your inquiry seems to focus specifically on the merits and demerits of the Three Policies, I, your foolish retainer, without regard for presumption and without fearing what should be avoided, secretly consider the origins and background, and first present this as the primary point. Next,

regarding the Three Policies, I present them with the intention of "probing the source and clearing the source, cutting the roots and withering the branches." Furthermore, regarding the differences between Satsuma and Chōshū domains, the various intentions of court nobles and rōnin being mixed between good and evil, making vigilance necessary - though it is long-winded and presumptuous to exceed my position, I humbly present my thoughts by establishing the following articles.

Being compelled to do so in the final chapter of the Three Policies, I stopped writing this draft on the night of the 3rd.

**Deep and Distant Origins and Sources, with Details of the Single Hair Between Court and Military**

In the 6th year of Kaei, year of the Water-Ox, 6th month (I will not discuss the bakufu's administrative oversights and confused policies before this time, as it would be presumptuous), several American ships arrived at Uraga, ostensibly displaying military might but actually demanding trade for profit. Like second-hand clothing dealers in Yanagiwara, Edo, taking advantage of naive country people, ordinary commercial profit-seeking should generally be sought through humble and respectful language, but instead they used high-handed authority, mockery and abuse, employing deceptive schemes to seek great profit. Though the scale differs vastly, the actual situation was exactly the same. At that time, from the realm's men of purpose to common townspeople and servants, there was no one who did not gnash their teeth in anger. Nevertheless, at that time, through temporary expedient measures, even their arrogant rudeness was forcibly endured, and the request for trade and communication was granted. This was done after consultation with Lord Nariaki of Mito and others, beginning with Satsuma and Higo (these three domains had been concerned about the country and working for reform for twenty years prior, and were considered models for other domains and voices of public opinion), and other domains as well. Indeed, military
