I started with the Shinsengumi in Bakumatsu

Chapter 26 The meaning of Aizu!

On June [-]th, this was already the tenth day after the defeat of the Changshu domain navy. The imperial court held a court meeting on this day. Quan Zhongna made a three-point memorial and said: "Your Majesty, the general has already declared that on May [-]th, we will fight against the barbarians." , but no action has been taken so far. This move is suspected of neglecting the imperial court, and I thought that I should send the Marquis of Aizu back to Edo to push the shogunate to fight against the barbarians."

Emperor Takamei was a little surprised and said: "Made, if the Marquis of Aizu returns to Edo, who will guard Kyoto?"

Sanjo Sanimi said indifferently: "Your Majesty, don't worry, Aizu Domain does not have to be the guardian of Kyoto, and Aizu Domain is not the only domain in the world to have samurai. After Aizuhou leaves, other feudal lords can serve as guardians of Kyoto. "

The emperor was a little angry, but Sanjo Sai, Shijo and other ministers came forward to support Sanjo Sanimi. Emperor Takamei could only dissatisfied and said: "I only trust Aizuhou."

After that, he got up and left.

Sanjo Sanimi smiled and said: "Your Majesty agrees and immediately issues an edict asking the Marquis of Aizu to return east to Edo as soon as possible!"

Sanjo and others corrected the edict, but the edict, which did not receive the emperor's approval, was sent to the Aizu Domain Honjin Kurotani Kokoji Temple.

However, Yagyu also arrived at Kurotani Guangming Temple.

In the lobby, Matsudaira Yongho looked at the edict asking him to leave the capital. He was a little lost. He murmured: "How could this happen..."

Komori Kyutaro suppressed his inner joy and said quickly: "My lord, since it is an order from the emperor and the court, let's pack up and return to Edo!"

Yamamoto Kakuma was a little frustrated and said: "This edict is too sudden..."

"This is a false edict and a conspiracy of the Choshu clan!"

"what!"

This sentence was so shocking that the Aizu feudal ministers present were shocked. Even Matsudaira Yoshiho woke up from his loss and looked at the speaker.

When Kotaro Komori saw it was Yagyu, he immediately yelled: "Back off, you bastard talking nonsense!"

Undaunted, Yagyu looked at Matsudaira Yongho and said: "Matsuhira-sama, this edict is definitely not the emperor's intention. It is a conspiracy between the Choshu clan and Huangmen Shilang Sanjo-sama."

Matsudaira Yongho said excitedly: "Jubei, what exactly does this mean? Please tell me clearly!"

Yagyu took out a petition and said: "On May [-]th, the Choshu feudal lord Kusaka Genzui and others presided over the affairs of Shimonoseki and bombarded American merchant ships. This was intended to force the shogunate to resist the barbarians, but the shogunate did not respond, so the long-term The state feudal lord continued to bombard foreign merchant ships, even the Netherlands, which had good relations with the shogunate, did not spare them.

In addition, on May [-]th, the assassination of Kōchi Anekokōji was apparently related to the Satsuma and Tosa Domains. This incident caused the Emperor to alienate the two clans. In fact, according to the secret investigation of our Shinsengumi supervisory team, the matter had a long history. Shuhan Maki Izumi dominates!

He assassinated the leader of the anti-barbarian faction, framed the blame for the Satsuma and Tosa clans, and supported the Huangmen minister Sanjo-sama as the leader of the anti-barbarian faction.

Recently, Choshu Domain Mori and his son visited Sanjo Sanimi, and then Sanjo Sanimi met with Sanjo Nishi, Shijo and other six ministers. I, the New Sengumi Supervisor Fang Yamazaki Hao, heard that the Seven Ministers wanted to correct the imperial edict and force Matsudaira-sama to leave, and then there was me. Shinsengumi, so that no one can stop the Choshu clan from taking control of Kyoto. "

"what?"

"How dare you, Changzhou thief!"

"Lord, we must not obey this false edict!"

Komori Kyutaro glared at Yagyu, then looked at Matsudaira Yongho and persuaded: "My lord, this is an edict after all, you cannot resist it!"

Yagyu said again: "Matsudaira-sama, now the emperor is coerced by the anti-barbarian faction and is isolated and helpless. If we take action, the Choshu clan and Sanjo Sanimi must be on guard. Now we can only ask the former Kanshiro Konoe-sama to see the emperor." .”

Matsudaira Yongho was filled with anger, his eyes were red, and he said with tears: "These traitors and traitors have treated His Majesty the Emperor like this. I will never forgive them!" Yagyu saluted and said, "Master Matsudaira, please give me the token, and I will send it to you." Send people to the Konoe residence."

The Konoe family is the head of the Five Photographic families and is the direct descendant of the Fujiwara Kita family. The other four families of the Five Photographic families are all descended from the Konoe family and are the most noble among the public families.

Konoe Tadahiro was a combined public and military sect, but he was forced to shave his head, resign, and live in seclusion due to the Ansei Prison. However, two years after the Ansei Prison, Ii Naoki was assassinated outside the Sakurada Gate, and then Kuze Hiroshu and Kuze Hiroshu who inherited Ii Naoki's will Ando Nobumasa continued to promote the integration of public and military affairs, which led to the marriage of Wakamiya. Therefore, last year, the imperial court issued an order to dissolve the seclusion of the public minister, and Konoe Tadahiro returned to Kyoto after growing his hair.

In June of Bunkyu's second year, that is, last year, 1862, Konoe Tadahiro once again served as Kanbaku. However, Konoe Tadahiro was tired of fighting in the court because of his previous affairs. In the first month of this year, in 1863, he resigned and lived in seclusion. Now he serves as Kanbaku. The white one is Takaji Fuxi.

When Hitotsubashi celebrated and Matsudaira Yōho came to the capital, it was Konoe Tadahiro who received him and introduced him to the emperor.

As for Maori, his son and Shimazu Mitsuhisa, they did not receive this treatment.

Konoe Tadahiro did not expect that he had already lived in seclusion and still could not escape the whirlpool of the imperial court. After learning the ins and outs, Konoe Tadahiro had to secretly enter the palace to pay homage to the emperor.

The emperor was thinking about how to solve the issue of Sanjo Sanimi and others' edicts. When he saw Konoe Tadayoshi entering the palace, he was overjoyed.

Emperor Komei looked through the bamboo curtain and said happily: "Why did Konoe-kun enter the palace? In fact, I also plan to find you."

Konoe Tadahiro saluted and said, "I have heard from Marquis Aizu that the Choshu Domain Mori and his son, Sanjo Mimi and others issued an edict to ask Marquis Aizu to leave the capital. Marquis Aizu was worried about His Majesty's safety, so he specially asked me to enter the palace to check."

Emperor Komei was about to cry. He said very aggrievedly: "Sanjo and others misinterpreted my wishes, which I deeply hate! Fortunately, Aizuhou is smart and saw through the treacherous plot of these thieves. I am very relieved."

Konoe Tadahiro saluted and said: "Thanks to the Shinsengumi for discovering the conspiracy of the Choshu Domain and Sanjo and others, if it hadn't been for the reminder from the director of the Shinsengumi, Yagyu Jubei, Aizuhou would have fallen into the trap."

"The Shinsengumi are...ah, I remembered it. Anekokoji was assassinated, and they were the ones who caught the murderer, loyal minister." Emperor Komei praised this greatly.

Emperor Komei immediately wrote a handwritten letter and gave it to Konoe Tadahiro, saying: "Please, Konoe-san."

Konoe Tadahiro hid the autographed letter, then left the palace, and immediately sent someone to deliver the autographed letter of the emperor to Matsudaira Yongho.

Matsudaira Yongho saw: This incident all started because I only trusted you, Lord Aizu, and the fault lies with me.

"His Majesty!"

Matsudaira Yongho lost his composure and shed two lines of tears.

"I, the Aizu Domain, will never disappoint His Majesty. I will never leave Kyoto and leave His Majesty alone in Kyoto!"

Komori Kyutaro said in panic: "My lord, if this continues, the Aizu clan will be doomed!"

Matsudaira Yongho turned around and scolded: "Shut up, your majesty trusts me, and the general relies on me. How can I retreat? I will guard Kyoto until death. This is the meaning of Aizu!"

Yagyu immediately said loudly: "The Shinsengumi is willing to guard Kyoto with Lord Matsudaira, assist the shogunate, and protect His Majesty the Emperor!"

"Okay, Jubei, you still understand me!"
