Zuocun only stayed at Luslan's medical clinic for two or three days before leaving.
But one thing made Zuo Cun feel strange. He kept feeling that after he sobered up the next morning, there was a faint smell of blood filling Luslan's hospital.
But when Zuocun wanted to smell it carefully, he felt that he had smelled it wrong.
I can only regard it as my own illusion.
Before leaving, Zuo Cun held Lu Silan's hand and said solemnly: "Doctor Lu Silan, if you really encounter an unsolvable danger in the future, you must go to Tosa to find me."
Lu Silan responded with a smile: "I know."
Zuo Cun left. He was going to find Takeshi Hanheita. The establishment of the party required drafting a lot of things, and Ryoma was already here.
All that needs to wait next is time.
As long as one party cannot control itself, the situation will collapse in an instant. At that time, it will be a disaster for everyone... and an opportunity for everyone.
Time moved forward slowly and came to August 1860.
After a long period of wrangling and negotiation, the emperor's sister, Princess Wagongiya, finally agreed to marry Tokugawa Iemo, the general who conquered the barbarians, and decided to choose a day to marry Tokugawa Iemo.
Tokugawa Iemomo, who had been busy stabilizing factional struggles all day long, finally breathed a sigh of relief. This was a big relief for him.
In the current shogunate, not only some of the lost Nanki sect and the resurrected Hitotsubashi sect are fighting happily, but these people are also divided into the king-resisting sect and the public-military fusion sect, and they continue to make trouble in different ways.
Tokugawa Iemo doesn't want to be this general now.
Renaissance is more looked up to than ZTE, and more praised than founding of the country, but revival is really too difficult.
In this messy situation, no matter how wise the monarch is, he will find it difficult.
Therefore, Princess Wagongiya can get married, and Joan of Arc is one of the few good news Tokugawa Iemo has heard in the past few months.
He himself strongly supports the integration of public and military affairs, because this can make the shogunate more stable, and he can also lift his head slightly from factional struggles and do some practical things for the country.
I hope it will get better and better in the future...
"An Tengxin is in charge of this matter. Please escort Princess Hegong to me personally." He directly asked a middle-aged and senior figure to escort her.
"Yes, General." An Tengxin, who showed his old age, looked a little excited.
His position is a bit complicated, but he is definitely standing firmly by Tokugawa Iemogo's side.
He and Ii Naobi have great conflicts, but they both support the integration of public and military affairs, and refuse to respect the king and fight against the barbarians, but they are not the kind of extreme compromise thought of Ii Naobi.
The general was able to complete the union with Princess Wagong this time, and the "public-military integration" was also in great progress. He was definitely supported by both hands and feet. The current shogunate needed a stable environment.
...
The residence of Emperor Takaaki.
Princess Hegong is very beautiful, but now she has a bad face.
"Is my aunt going to marry the shogun?" A young man stood next to Wagoniya and asked.
"Yes." Wagongiya sighed and looked at the youthful-looking boy, "Mujin, you are the crown prince now, why don't you stay with your father?"
The young man named Mu Ren smiled sarcastically: "Father? Auntie, in my opinion, there is no difference between me and my father."
"They are all just puppets with names, but the hands holding the puppets are different, that's all."
"My father has the title of emperor for nothing, but has no real power. As the crown prince, I will not be like my father in the future, just a puppet of the shogunate."
Wagongong paused, looked around, and sighed after finding no one there.
What Mu Ren said was reality, but they had to admit it.
Since the beginning of the shogunate era, the emperor no longer has any real power, but only exists in the palace as a spiritual symbol. Although he enjoys worship, even the de facto ruler, the shogunate general, has to face The emperor is respectful.
But actually?
Peeling away the glamorous appearance, the emperor and the emperor's family are just what Mutsuhito calls a "puppet on a string", but this puppet is gorgeous enough.
Under this situation, all the people's reverence, loyalty, and the emperor's family's self-proclaimed "bloodline of gods" seem so ridiculous.
"Mu Ren, you'd better say less of this kind of thing." He Gong touched Mu Ren's face, "From now on, when my aunt is gone, you must take care of yourself, and don't make your father angry. His body is not good for you. Okay, you must be good."
Mu Ren nodded: "I understand, aunt."
He Gong smiled, touched Mu Ren's head, and left.
What awaits her ahead will be a union with a man she has met from outside.
This is what a woman of the royal family must bear. She resisted, but finally chose to compromise.
Mu Ren looked at the bleak back of Princess Hegong and clenched his fists.
"Combined public and military..." The young man said this word through gritted teeth.
Although he is a young man, Mu Ren has been learning some knowledge that is of no use to him for many years, such as the way to control his subordinates and mental skills.
Although it was useless, it opened up Mu Ren's thinking.
In Muruhito's view, the combination of public and military forces was like the shogunate riding on the emperor's head and shitting.
humiliation.
humiliation.
This feeling filled Mu Ren's heart.
"When I succeed to the throne in the future..." He said these words, gathered his mood, and left.
...
Somewhere.
A group of "lofty ideals" gathered in a room and discussed some things.
"I think this marriage must be destroyed no matter what." A rather stout-looking young man said loudly. "The combination of the incompetent Tokugawa Iemo and the incompetent emperor will only make this country weaker!"
"The shogunate is too tolerant of those bastard foreigners, and they should not be allowed to exist on Japanese soil!"
"We need to make gestures and actions to let Tokugawa Iemo know our attitude."
He is a vassal of the Mito Domain. In the Ansei Prison in the past two years, the Mito Domain was most implicated, so now the Mito Domain is extremely dissatisfied with the shogunate and has always wanted to cause trouble.
"What are your thoughts, Yamano." Another person asked. He was a warrior of the Choshu clan.
"Assassination!"
"Kill Wamiya! Kill Nobumasa Iteng!" The people of Mito Domain raised a ferocious smile.
Zuo Cun, sitting in a corner of the room, looked at the group of people with a smile.
Assassination of Wagoniya? Assassinate Nobuyasu Iteng?
Rather than expressing his attitude towards the shogunate and the emperor.
Rather... I just want to vent my desires in the name of so-called "righteousness".
This is a "spiritual person".
It's really... boring.
