Both parties had reasons for not being convinced, so neither tried to persuade.
The parting of ways was already doomed.
This is an era where belief is paramount. Talking too much will only be considered as questioning the other party's belief.
Besides, Zuo Cun is not that good at debating with others.
Walking slowly, Samura's destination is Tosa.
Naoki Ii was assassinated at Sakurada Gate, and the incident spread throughout the world.
The goal has been achieved, Zuo Cun only needs to find Takeshi Hanheita one more time, and then he can return to Tosa with him.
It is very important to have one's own power. No matter how high a person's martial arts is, it is impossible to fight against the country.
As the number one person under the general, Naoki Ii's death will definitely cause uproar. What he has to do now is to avoid the spotlight temporarily and wait for the opportunity. If he makes too many moves in the short term, he will definitely be targeted.
...
"Your Majesty, Tokugawa Iemo's minister, the elder Naomi Ii has been assassinated." A servant reported the latest news to Takaaki.
"...Who is the assassin?" Emperor Xiaoming was a little panicked. After all, the shogunate was his shield.
"It seems that he was an aspirant of the Tosa Domain who wanted to break away from the domain. He has committed seppuku and committed suicide." The servant continued to report, but his attitude was not respectful, but rather casual.
Emperor Xiaoming had long been accustomed to this attitude. He just sighed and said a little impatiently: "This, what should I do..."
"Your Majesty, what Elder Jing Yi discussed with us before...does it still count?"
Xiaoming, who was anxious, was stunned for a moment, and then realized: "You mean, the matter of the palace?"
The servant nodded: "Lao Zhongguo Kuze Hiroshu and veteran Nobumasa Ando have taken over this matter."
"...It seems that Tokugawa Iemo is also anxious..." Emperor Takamei was extremely sad.
There are too many things happening recently.
He hates foreigners very much, but he has to stabilize foreigners because their force is too strong.
The shogunate can only maintain stability. Because of this matter, Emperor Xiaomei's interest has not been high in the past few years, and his physical condition has become worse day by day.
Not long ago, Tokugawa Iemo asked Ii Naobi to come here. Kamizou hoped to marry the princess and Miyashita to Tokugawa Iemo.
This was a response to the "combination of public and military affairs" proposed by Emperor Takamei.
But when Emperor Komei was preparing to happily marry his daughter to Tokugawa Iemo, an accident happened.
Wagongiya had a big quarrel with her brother Takaaki and was very resistant to marrying Tokugawa Iemo.
This is very uncomfortable.
Therefore, Emperor Xiaomei could only feel uncomfortable between the "King-Respecting and Expelling the Barbarians" faction and the "Gongwu Combination School", and he also had to do the ideological work of Princess Wagongiya.
Moreover, Emperor Xiaomei has always wanted to say something about the idea of "respecting the king".
Why do you respect me?
In these troubled times, do you want me to die early by pushing me up?
He had some small thoughts before, and wanted to recruit Yugui to kill Samura Ano for this, but Samura Ano never came to see him. In addition, Japan has really been in complete chaos in the past two years. Emperor Takamei's The little thoughts gradually died out.
A small corner of peace is a very good result for him. Do you still want me to sit in the position of making decisions? Do you respect the king or do you want to assassinate me in disguise?
What awaits Emperor Takamei next will be a long life of tug and pull.
In this chess game, which is not a chess game, the emperor, the shogunate, and many big families will all be involved.
And Tokugawa Iemo who was far away in the shogunate...
Tokugawa Iemo is quite handsome.
The adult Tokugawa Iemo did not choose to shave his head, but retained his thick black hair.
But the Tokugawa family are either stupid or sick.
The previous generation of general Iadami was a general who understood current affairs, but before he took office, Iadami was plagued by serious illnesses, so that he died suddenly in his dormitory.
Tokugawa Iemo was also in poor health, with a mouth full of cavities and athlete's foot.
Today's athlete's foot is not the kind of minor problem that will only cause some trouble in later generations, but a serious disease that can kill people.
Tokugawa Iemo frowned and sat behind the curtain.
"You mean, Princess Wagongiya is very dissatisfied with the marriage, right?" Of course, Tokugawa Iemo had no impression of Wagongiya.
But now that people's evaluation of the shogunate is falling again and again, he must find a way to stabilize everyone's thinking and his own position.
The "combination of public and military affairs" proposed by Emperor Takamei is the best solution for the current Tokugawa Iemo.
Combined with the Emperor's sister, he will definitely be as stable as a rock in this position. When the time comes, he will find a way to reverse Japan's current situation.
He had never met Wakiya, and he had no emotional foundation. This time he presented to the emperor, it was just a political marriage.
"Yes, General, Princess Wagongiya even had a big quarrel with His Majesty the Emperor over this." Ando Masanobu sat outside the curtain and reported to Tokugawa Iemo, respectfully.
"Find a way, this marriage must be completed. This is not only about me, but also about you and your status, and also about Japan in the future." Tokugawa Iemo's tone was firm and unquestionable.
"I understand." Ando Masanobu and Kuze Hiroshu bowed their heads slightly.
Tokugawa Iemo rubbed his temples.
The leader of the Nanji faction, Ii Naobi, was assassinated, which was his biggest headache.
Although I hate Naoki Ii, the forces behind him can give Tokugawa Iemo a lot of support. Naoki Ii will not refute himself openly, and his situation is still stable.
But now that Naoki Ii has been assassinated, it means that the Nanji Sect has lost its head and its soul.
As for the leaders of the Hitotsubashi faction, Tokugawa Saiaki and Hitotsubashi Keiki, although they were beaten to the end by Ii Naoki during the Ansei Prison two years ago, and even directly killed later, there are still remnants of the party, and now Ii Naoki If he dies, the Hitotsubashi faction will definitely try to raise its head again.
At that time, the court will be in chaos again, and Tokugawa Iemo will have to find a way to stabilize the relationship between the Nanki faction and the Hitotsubashi faction.
"It's such a long way to go..." Tokugawa Iemo sighed.
He walked to the window and looked out at Kyoto City.
The city of Kyoto is still very peaceful now.
But outside Kyoto, everything was in chaos.
How can Japan be stabilized in a situation where even its status may be unstable?
The mayfly shakes the tree.
...
Edo.
Natural Rise of the Heart Test Weiguan.
Okita Souji sat indifferently, looking at everything in front of him.
After Zuo Cun left, Okita seemed to be a different person.
There are fewer words and no more expressions on his face.
But now, the focus is not on Miss Okita.
But they were two guests from the Trial Guard Hall.
Beichen's sword style, Shannan's help.
and Shinto Muken-ryu, Nagakura Shinpachi.
