On May 23, 1862, Ishikawa Bunbei met with Hisashi Hisashi, and after that, the situation in the shogunate changed dramatically.

In fact, the previous situation was already very sinister for Jiushi:

Previously, there were five shogunate elders, and Hisashi was the first, and as the victor and foreign royal leader, Ando Shin was the de facto deputy.

But since the beginning of this year, there has been an old man from a famous family, who is loyal to the people - but Benduo is thirty-eight.

In fact, this is a symptom of the siege of Kuyo and Ando.

But although the two of them were wary of the Sakashitamon incident in the first month, they didn't expect the momentum to be so fierce later!

As soon as Honda said goodbye to the old here, on March 15, Mizuno Tadashi and Itakura Katsujing were elected as the new veterans.

This old man has always been four or five people, Bendo told the old, Mizuno and Itakura were newly appointed, and this number suddenly became six, so I can't say it, I always have to get another one.

So, at the beginning of April, the shogunate began to besiege Ando, and Mizuno and Itakura, the two new veterans, also echoed this theory, and on the 11th of that month, the new public office Xiangjiashige made a final decision, and Ando Nobumasa's old middle school was dismissed.

This walked two and added two, so the number of old middle schools remained at five, so Jiushi felt that he could still hold on.

But Kuyo soon found out that something was wrong, in addition to the original allies who began to dodge, even his biggest backer avoided him - this person was not Masahiro Abe, Abe was hiding in Bigo Fukuyama, how could Jiushi have time to run so far.

Which way is the fairy?

It's none other than the Great Imperial Palace, the nominal first person of the shogunate, the shogun's father.

It turned out that from the first year of Jiayong to the fourth year (1848-1851), Jiushi worked as a Nishimaru Laozhong and was a teacher at the time when he was still a Nishimaru-like Jiading, so Jiading was the biggest backer of Jiushi - in this regard, because Jiading did not hang up in advance, this is considered the light of Jiushi Zhixiu.

But since the seclusion in February, Jia Ding has no longer paid attention to the shogunate, and now he has asked to see him many times in the long life, but he has not seen it!

This, coupled with the deliberate cold talk of the general Jiamao, Ando was also deposed, and at this point, Jiushi finally found out that he was also betrayed and separated!

This painstaking self-help can't be helped, and in desperation, it took a long time to remember to write a letter to his brother-in-law Abe - it's too embarrassing, this incumbent old middle chief asked for help from the old middle school in the lower field, which is very rare!

But just before Ishikawa Bunbei arrived on May 23, a shogunate nominated another candidate for the old middle school, and the key point was that the public party also agreed.

And this new old middle school is actually Wakisaka Ann House, this is not a ghost.

Wakisaka, this person, at the beginning, helped the big old Ii launch the Ansei Prison, and later became the head of the old middle school and fought with Ii for power, and was finally squeezed down by Ando Nobumasa's backer Matsudaira.

After that, Matsudaira Chengquan gave up the first seat of the old middle school to Jiushi.

Therefore, Wakisaka and Hisayo are mortal enemies!

Jiushi wanted to take action to hinder it, but the momentum of being besieged has been completed, and the great imperial house will not make a move, and the general Jiamao is not only not on his side, but also may be a big black hand, so Jiushi can only look up to the sky and sigh, in vain.

Therefore, before Ishikawa came to the door, the number of these old people was actually six, and one more of them had to be subtracted, so Jiushi had already accepted his fate, and he was ready to be dismissed in early June.

This is not just Mitsuhisa himself, the princes and shogunates in Edo, these people have judged the situation, and they are waiting for the big assessment in early June to come out and the dust settle.

Is that really the only way to go?

Too young, too simple, boy, this world is impermanent!

Now it is the first five days of rest, that is, the first day, the fifteenth day, and the twenty-fifth day of the new year, and the shogunate is not working. For this reason, Edo City University is often held from the third to the fifth day of the junior high school.

Therefore, the second day of the first month before the assessment is held, it is the best time for the princes and the ministers to collude with each other.

As a result, on the second day of the sixth month, Jiushi Guangzhou suddenly made a big move - he did not remove his old chief on this day, Jiushi is the head of today's shogunates, and he can do more in this position!

At this time, there are six old middle schools in the long world, and the remaining five, one of them did not pull, were temporarily summoned by the long world, and in the afternoon, in the royal department house where the old middle school is usually enshrined, there was a surprise attack in the long world!

At this temporary old middle school assessment meeting, Jiushi announced two things:

The first thing is that he said that he was going to resign from the army, and the first seat of the old middle school quit.

"Who are you scaring here, you have to be able to run away if you want to run for a long time!

The situation is like this, I'm afraid that tomorrow's big assessment will dismiss you, and it's a little late to come to this golden cicada today to get out of its shell and retreat into advance. ”

Wakisaka Anzhai thought so in his heart, but his face was silent, and he also deliberately observed the expressions of the other old middle schools - no way, this big scene of the resignation of the chief of the old middle school is rare to see, and it is not good to take a good look.

"Oops!"

This observation of others, Wakisaka found that things were wrong:

Among the six elders, there are four people left, among whom Matsudaira Nobuyoshi is a stable one, and this turmoil has not been brought to him for the time being, so Matsudaira looks indifferent, there is nothing wrong with this;

But Mizuno Tadashi and Itakura Katsujing are new to the throne, faintly opposed to Jiushi, this wisdom pearl is in hand, I heard that Jiushi is going to resign, and then it is reasonable to be steady;

But Naito Nobukin's reaction is not right, he is inclined to the Jiushi lineage, and he has been attacked by the shogunate in the past two months, how did he hear that Jiushi was going to admit defeat, and there was a smile on his face, why is this!

Could it be that Naito has found a way to change the court? I haven't heard of it.

Seeing that everyone was silent for a long time, he smiled slightly, the feeling of this rain and clouds is really happy, but it's a pity that he started late this time, and it's a pity that he didn't compete for all the work - but it's nothing, it's a long time to come.

Since no one spoke, Jiushi began to announce this second thing.

But after listening to a few words, the old fox Wakisaka Anzhai's uneasiness became even stronger, and he began to fidget, and finally he couldn't bear it anymore and asked:

"His Royal Highness Yamato Mamoru what do you want?"

There's no way, the cold sweat behind Wakisaka comes out, so don't ask it.

What has been announced for this long time?

It turns out that Jiushi actually wants to temporarily add topics tomorrow, and the content is to innovate the economy!

It stands to reason that in the two years since Hisashi and Ando were in power, although they have also taken many measures and done a lot of things, most of them have focused on negotiating with foreign countries, and this internal affairs cannot be said to be none, such as Wanyan coinage, Wupin's Edo return order, one when four copper coins, marrying Miyashita, and the opening of the Nagasaki Iron Smelting, etc., but the effect of many things is not very good, but they have made themselves to the point where they are now embattled.

Now that Ando has fallen, and Jiushi has also claimed to be resigning from the first seat, he still wants to propose to reform internal affairs at this time, what is this blind toss?

Fools know that this is certainly not "the bird is dying, and its song is also mourning; People are dying, and their words are also good", there must be something else in this gourd.

Moreover, it was customary for the shogunate to make any suggestions for innovation that had to be reviewed by the elders in advance, so as not to be ridiculed and generous.

This Jiushi suddenly came up with this proposal, I'm afraid - that's right, there must be an inner ghost in this royal house!

In the end, others are not afraid, but Wakisaka is afraid:

He used to follow Da Lao Jing Yi not to wave the flag and shout, the matter of Anzheng Prison in Kyoto, but he charged forward and handled it single-handedly, and the royal family, the minister and Qi Zhao were offended by themselves.

Although he later turned his face with Jing Yi, he said that the old enemy could easily let him go, and Wakisaka himself didn't believe it.

This comeback, several generations of the Wakisaka family have been consumed cleanly, if something goes wrong again this time, I'm afraid it won't be a question of whether it can turn over, and the Wakisaka family is in danger!

But where has changed, why hasn't the news been revealed before?

But for Wakisaka's question, Hisashi just said perfunctory, meaning "I'm ashamed, I didn't find out what I did before I resigned, so I deliberately remedied it."

Of course, Wakisaka didn't believe it, and he slowly looked at the crowd, intending to find something.

But if you can do it, it's all from thousands of mountains and rivers, if you change your name twice, Ando Nobuya, maybe you may be seen by Wakisaka, but Ando was ousted last month.

Hisashi Hiroshu and Naito Nobu's faces were smiling, Matsudaira Nobuyoshi looked indifferent, and Mizuno Tadashi and Itakura Katsujing were also as heavy as water, so Wakisaka was stunned and didn't see who was colluding with Hisashi in private.

In the final analysis, this is still Wakisaka's own pot, and he is unpopular, so no one informed him after the parties colluded:

Wakisaka was originally a founding faction, and he had a close relationship with the Horita family, and later took refuge in the big old Ii - in fact, this is nothing, Hotta Masamu was deposed from the first seat of the old middle school, and it is understandable that Wakisaka voted for someone else, after all, Ii is also the founder of the country.

But the bad thing is that later Hotta Masamu was held accountable by Ii and was given a "dormant" punishment, and it is said that Wakisaka did not say a word about it at that time.

It's a bit too much.,Hotta also has a kind of kindness to Wakisaka.,You said it's okay to do nothing.,But you can't stop talking.,Isn't this ungrateful.。

Moreover, after that, Wakisaka and Ii broke up again, which can be regarded as offending both the moderates and hardliners of the founding of the country.

In addition, he suppressed Qi Zhao and his family in Anzheng Prison, and now he has jumped out to target Jiushi and other conciliators.

In this way, this Wakisaka is really a talent, and he actually offended all the major factions of the shogunate.

Of course, Wakisaka also has something to rely on, but the county official is not as good as the current management, in this old middle school assessment meeting, he is in a hurry and can't do anything.

Therefore, until the end, he failed to cause any obstacles to Jiushi - Jiushi is the first in the old school, this tiger is majestic, not to mention that now people will not fall!

Holding the long-standing "Reform Economy" Jianbai Book, Wakisaka returned to the mansion in a daze, and then immediately sent people around to investigate.

But with such a big change, if the insider wanted to tell him, he would have said it earlier, so he would have asked anything on the second day of junior high school.

However, the third year of junior high school is the big assessment meeting of Edo City, and this picture is poor, and the bigwigs from all sides will jump out when they should appear, and they can't see it if they can't ask it.

Sure enough, from the third day of June to the fifth day of June in the second year of Bunkyu (1862), the Edo City University Assessment Conference was full of performances:

First of all, Jiu Shiguang Zhou really submitted his resignation in public, and the public Fang Jiamao pretended to keep it, and then removed him from his position as the first seat of the old middle school.

But because of the proposal of "innovating the economy" he put forward before, it was quite appreciated by the princes and ministers who participated in the meeting, so the general Jiamao did not take the long world to the end, but retained him as the winner Fang Laozhong.

And Jiushi "couldn't resign" and had to take office.

This can brighten the eyes of many people, this plot is reversed, it is said that he will be impeached and removed from office, but he is just a small punishment and a big admonition and let it go gently, it is really a long time to see!

And it doesn't stop there, another old Naito Nobukin, who is about to fall away, he took the initiative to let Xian, with the permission of the public side like Jiashige, so Enoe Hamamatsu ~ Inoue family head is upright and impressive.

The next is not over, at this time, the old middle school has become six people, Matsudaira Nobuyoshi, Kushi Hiroshu, Mizuno Tadashi, Itakura Katsushi, Inoue Masashi and Wakisaka Asutaka, as a result, in addition to Wakisaka Asuya and the new Inoue Masako, the other four people made a big move together:

Because of the resignation of the first old middle school for a long time, the first minister was absent, so these four recommended the sage to go out of the mountain.

And Inoue and Wakisaka also reacted, and immediately echoed it.

The prince continued his decision to kill today, and appointed a new shogunate elder, who was the Echizen Fukui Matsudaira family's hermitage hall Keinaga.

The climax of this big evaluation has been repeated, and the people who participated in the preview are stupid.

Matsudaira Qingyong, is one of the main generals of Qi Zhao's family, and Jing Yi Naobi fought for the position of "elder", but he was defeated, but he didn't expect that after four years, the mountains and rivers took turns, and Qingyong actually made a comeback and succeeded in one fell swoop!

The significance of this is not trivial.

Aside from Qi Zhao's turn over to govern the shogunate, this Fukui Matsudaira family is the elder, but there is thunder in the silence.

In the past, only four families have served as the "elders" above the middle, that is, the four major masters of the pedigree daimyo "Iyi, Sakai, Doi, and Hotta".

Unexpectedly, the ancestral family law of more than 200 years has broken the golden body today, and what Qi Zhao didn't do when he was as violent as Qi Zhao did it back then, now that Qi Zhao has passed away, it has become a reality.

In addition to the thousands of feelings, everyone can't care about watching Qingyong's performance - it's nothing more than three requests and three resignations, is there anything new, no.

On the contrary, several factions that fought endlessly in the past have a big reunion together today, unexpectedly, unexpectedly!

As a result, after the appraisal meeting, it was inevitable that there would be a lot of discussion among the families in Edo.

The climax of this big assessment was repeated, and there were many insiders in it, which immediately sparked heated discussions in Edo.

So, the imperial envoy who arrived in Edo on June 7, Saemon Governor Ohara Shigetoku, was dumbfounded when he heard this:

"What? Matsudaira Harugaku became the 'Great Elder' of the Shogunate!

You melon seeds, aren't you kidding me?

What can I do now?

To award or not to award, this is really a big problem now! ”
