I started with the Shinsengumi in Bakumatsu

Chapter 24 For
On the streets of Kyoto, the Shinsengumi attacked everywhere. More than a hundred Choshu Tosa ronin were arrested and more than [-] were killed. The remaining ronin from various domains hid and did not dare to run rampant on the streets.

Originally, the people thought that it would affect them, but there were no prodigals or villains on the streets, and instead they became much more harmonious.

However, those ministers who opposed the integration of public and military forces and supported the fight against the barbarians were very dissatisfied with the actions of the Shinsengumi.

The shogunate's internal letter originally scheduled for May [-]th to expel the barbarians nationwide was revoked. Sanjo Sanimi and others had already protested to the emperor. The Mori father and son of the Choshu Domain discussed with several ministers many times to force the shogunate to expel the barbarians.

However, the powerful attack of the Shinsengumi hindered Sanjo Sanimi and the Choshu clan's plan to resist the barbarians.

Now that the Shinsengumi is arresting the Choshu clan ronin on the street, Mouri Keichika and his son can only visit Sanjo Sanimi to accuse the Shinsengumi of its atrocities.

The Sanjo family is the Qinghua family among the public families. It is also said to be a heroic family, with a status above the ministers' family and below the Guan family.

Generally, he serves as a general of the Imperial Guard and a minister of the left and right, and can be promoted to the highest rank of minister of government affairs.

However, in the Edo period, the conditions for taking office as Taizheng Minister were specifically restricted by Regent Guanbai. The actual official rank of the Tsinghua family's ministers was only the left minister.

Sanjo Sanmei is now the official name of Zhongna Yan, who is commonly known as Huangmen, that is, the Huangmen Shilang in the Tang Dynasty.

Among the anti-barbarian families in the imperial court, he had the highest official position. Now that the leader Anekokoji was killed, the leader naturally fell to Sanjo Sanimi.

Sanjo Sanimi frowned when faced with the accusations from Mouri Kei's father and son: "You can't deal with a small Yagyu Jubei, how can you talk about respecting the emperor and fighting the barbarians? His Majesty was very angry about the assassination of Anekokouji, and the new election The team captured the murderer and was praised by the emperor. If I come forward, wouldn't it be against the emperor?
If I offend the Emperor now, then Kujo and Zhongshan will be favored by the Emperor. Doesn’t this make it difficult for me?Just wait and find a solution yourself. "

Mao Li Jingqin immediately advised: "Lord Huangmen, things are not like this. If the shogunate cannot be pushed to fight the barbarians, it will be difficult to rely on the Changshu vassal alone. Furthermore, if the shogunate does not fight the barbarians, it is violating the emperor's will, and so are we. Act in compliance with the emperor’s will.

Lord Huangmon only needs to put pressure on Hou Aizu to stop the Shinsengumi's current actions, and the ronin of this domain will inevitably promote the anti-barbarian plan in a short period of time. "

"I'll think about it again."

Outside the hospital, a samurai hurriedly ran over and shouted: "It's not good, the American battleships bombarded Xiaguan, the Choshu clan was defeated miserably, the Gengshen pill was sunk, and the Guihai pill was seriously damaged!"

Maori Jingqin's face changed drastically. The Changshu clan suffered such a heavy blow against the barbarians. Will the imperial court still support it?
"Lord Huangmen, the situation is urgent. No matter what, we must stop the Shinsengumi's suppression of the Choshu Domain Rongrong!"

Sanjo Sanimi felt uneasy, but since he had already embarked on this path, he could not retreat. He could only say: "I'll give it a try."

Sanjo Sanemi immediately sent someone to inform Matsudaira Yongho.

In the Kurotani Guangming Temple, Matsudaira Yongho is receiving Yagyu.

Matsudaira Yongho saw the wound on Yagyu's hand and asked with concern: "Yagyu, is your hand okay?"

Yagyu replied: "Thank you for your concern, Mr. Matsudaira. It's just a minor injury, not a major problem. It will heal in a few days."

Matsudaira Yongho nodded and said: "You were assassinated last night. When I heard the news, I was very worried. Fortunately, you are so skilled in swordsmanship that you actually killed 13 people. It's really amazing.

I did not misjudge the person. I left the Ronin matter to you, and my burden became much lighter. "

Yagyu saluted and said, "It's mainly because you, Matsudaira, have a keen eye for recognizing heroes."

"Hahaha..." Matsudaira Yongho was very happy, "The devil director who is feared by ronin can still say such beautiful words. Others will be surprised if they find out.

Yagyu, if you need anything from me, just ask me and I will definitely help you. "

Yagyu was not polite and said immediately: "Matsuhira-sama, now the prison of the Shinsengumi camp is overcrowded, so I hope that Matsudaira-sama can accept these people." Komori Kyutaro immediately objected: "Lord, this is not possible, and we have nothing to do. This is the place where these ronin are imprisoned, and the ones who arrest them are the Shinsengumi, so naturally the Shinsengumi is responsible to the end!"

The composition of these ronin is complex, and many of them are samurai who escaped from the feudal clan. If these people are imprisoned, it will only bring more enemies to the Aizu clan. Considering this, Komori Kutaro naturally stopped him without hesitation.

But Matsudaira Yongho didn't listen to Komori Kutaro's advice at all. He nodded directly and said: "Okay, you can just send the person here."

"what!"

Liu Sheng then stood up and left.

Komori Kyutaro said with a look of sorrow and anger: "My lord, doing this will only make other feudal lords hostile to us. This is not wise!"

Matsudaira Yongho shouted: "Okay, I don't want to say more about this matter, let's leave."

Yagyu heard the conversation between Komori Kyutaro and Matsudaira Yongho without taking a few steps, and thought to himself: Matsudaira Yongho is really a reliable ally.

As soon as he walked out of Guangming Temple, he saw a man who claimed to be a retainer of Sanjo and came to see Matsudaira Yongho. The man thought too highly of himself and ignored Yagyu directly and entered Guangming Temple.

"Sanjo's family...Sanjo is beautiful."

Yagyu remembered this person because Sanjo Sanimi was forced to flee due to the coup on August [-]th.

He looked at the backs of Sanjo's retainers and felt a little confused. What did Sanjo Sanimi want to do with Matsudaira Yōho?
Forget it, it's useless to think too much. Anyway, Sanjo Sanimi and Matsudaira Yōho are in hostile camps, so nothing big will happen.

Yagyu immediately returned to the Shinsengumi camp.

When the three retainers saw Matsudaira Yongho, they expressed their intention to come. Matsudaira Yongho was very confused, but seeing that it was Sanjo Sanimi who came from the third place and wanted to see him, he naturally couldn't refuse.

Matsudaira Yongho changed his clothes and came to the Sanjo family residence.

As soon as Sanjo Sanimi saw Matsudaira Yōho, he praised him: "Matsudaira-sama, I haven't seen you for a few days. Your appearance is really better than the jet lag in Beijing."

Matsudaira Yongbao said modestly: "Sir Huangmen is too polite. I wonder what Mr. Huangmen is looking for?"

Sanjo Sanimi chuckled and said: "I heard that after the Shinsengumi's jurisdiction expanded to the vicinity of the Imperial Palace and the Imperial Palace, their actions became a bit rude and reckless. If such actions offend His Majesty, I'm afraid you and I cannot bear the responsibility. .”

Matsudaira Yongho suppressed his modest smile and said with a straight face: "Lord Huangmen, you are worrying too much. The director of the newly-selected group is very measured and will not rush into His Majesty. If I still have something to do, I will leave first and resign. "

Sanjo Sanimi looked at Matsudaira Yongho who stood up and left, and was very angry. He was so angry that he clapped his fan and said: "How arrogant, do you think that because the emperor relies on him, he will not take me seriously? Hateful!"

Matsudaira Yongho actually despised him so much, he couldn't bear the bad breath!
Previously, Mori Jingqin asked him to put pressure on Matsudaira Yoshiho and then deal with the Shinsengumi. Now he feels that it will be easier to solve the problem by driving Matsudaira Yoshiho away directly so that the Shinsengumi will have no supporters!

Sanjo Sanimi gritted his teeth and said to his retainers: "Tell Mori and his son that dealing with the Shinsengumi is a waste of time. First drive away the Aizu Domain Matsudaira Yoho, and the Shinsengumi's problem will be solved!"
