A servant looked at the scene in the palace tremblingly.
"General—the general is dead!"
This scream resounded throughout Kyoto.
On August 1858, 8, the shogun Tokugawa Iadada was found dead in his bedroom.
Cause of death...unknown.
The shogunate and Tokugawa Qi Zhao, the leader of another faction of Ii Naobi, faced each other, and everyone was silent.
Tokugawa Qi Zhao stared at Naobi Ii and gritted his teeth: "Lord Ii, what should we do now..."
Ii Naobi sighed.
"I recommend... Ie Shigeru Tokugawa, to be the shogun of the shogun."
The Yiqiao faction and the Nanji faction did not have too many disputes.
Everyone knew the cause of the general's death, but no one would say it.
The Tokugawa family had been terminally ill two years ago, and he was not human. Many political affairs were discussed with Masahiro Abe.
But once Masahiro Abe died, the Tokugawa family would have to go up again.
Tokugawa's family is fixed, and he is sick with tuberculosis, coupled with the death of his confidant...
The only person in charge now is Ii Naobi.
"Meanwhile... arrest these people."
He threw out a list of his own.
The people above... [-]% are of the One Bridge faction.
Nanji faction, the knife is about to see blood.
===Chapter 340 Thunder Head===
The Ansei Great Prison has begun.
Kazuo Serizawa and Shinjian Jin... Because of being implicated in something, they were arrested together.
When Zuo Cun and Ryoma learned the news, it was already a month later.
Zuo Cun, who has learned to swim, no longer has to jump into the sea frequently, and his feet are natural. By the time October is approaching, the two have returned to Tosa.
As a result, I heard the news as soon as I arrived at a hotel to stay.
"Zuo Village, what do you think?" Longma asked.
"Elder Jingyi, it's time to clear dissidents..." Zuo Cun frowned, "It's... stupid persecution."
"I know Naobi Ii... an extreme moderate who is obedient to foreigners, but for his own position in the court... he is very cruel."
"There are already dozens of people arrested this time, and the number is expected to increase..." Ryoma sighed, "This is simply a tendency to destroy the talents that have been discovered. Ii Naobi... ...what was he thinking."
Although Ryoma is now looking to stand on the opposite side of the shogunate, Ryoma is still very saddened by these talents who have been persecuted, imprisoned, and may even be executed.
"It's just stupid shortsighted." Zuo Cun felt that he had never heard of such a Shabi person, "choosing to destroy the future of the entire country for his own desire for power... is ridiculous."
"To be honest, I can already foresee how he will die." Zuo Cun sneered.
Ii Naobi has already committed public anger.
Anyone who angers a national hero will always have his life taken away.
......
The occurrence of the Ansei Great Prison made everyone in Japan, especially from Kyoto to Sendai, put themselves in danger.
Ii Naobi used some means, and directly slapped Yoshihashi, Tokugawa Qi Zhao and others to the end, and sent them to prison.
He's been preparing for this day...for a long time.
The new shogun under his assistance, Tokugawa Ieshige, was only 14 years old.
However, although Tokugawa Iemo is very young, he has a lot of experience in politics. When he was only four years old, he became the lord of the Kishu Domain. At the same time, he was also the grandson of the Shogunate General Tokugawa Iasei. This position is also justifiable.
After taking office, when he went to visit the emperor, Tokugawa Ishige looked at the elder Ii Naobi who was riding in front of the car, and showed an inexplicable smile.
Naobi Ii thought he had found a puppet, but in fact, Ie Shigeru, who was able to control a domain when he was young, would really become Naobi Ii's puppet?
Amid the constant panic, time moves slowly.
The Americans returned to Edo once again and re-discussed many issues with the new general. In 1859, Kanagawa and Nagasaki were also opened to foreigners as seaports.
Zuo Village learned to swim. When he was in the Tosa Domain, he often went out to sea with the boat. He met a lot of people. He also took the time to go to Shimoda again. At some cost, he obtained a dictionary of Dutch and Japanese.
After that, Zuo Village quietly left Tosa after talking with Sakamoto Ryoma for a long night.
The situation in Japan right now... is very chaotic, so chaotic that everyday life is terrifying.
The upsurge of swordsmanship learning is even higher, but it not only brings more wise men who have awakened their minds, but also more bandits who have learned one trick and two styles and become pirates.
The shogunate had no time to take care of more things, and each domain ran its own government. There were many domains of Tokugawa Ieshige who refused to obey Ii Naobi's assistance, but they were ultimately afraid of the shogunate's military power.
The thin dead camel is bigger than the horse, and the shogunate is late, but not everyone can make it.
Until March 1860, 3...
Light snow in spring, this is extremely rare weather.
Naobi Ii has been in power in the past two years, and he is full of high-spirited spirit, but he is concealed and he is still a minister in front of Tokugawa Iemo.
Everything he wants has been obtained, no need to work harder, just...peaceful enjoyment.
At this time, Ii Naobi, sitting in the car, was about to go to the city to give a congratulatory message for the last festival.
It was quiet all the way.
The car traveled for a while, when suddenly there was a commotion in the front.
Jingyi Zhibi frowned, lifted the curtain of the car, and asked, "Where have we been? Why is there so much noise ahead?"
The fully-armed apprentice bowed slightly: "Sir, we have arrived at Sakurada Gate. As for the noise ahead, it seems that someone is blocking the road to file a complaint."
The voices of the people who were crying with their pleadings in front were full of tears, but when someone approached him——
He took out a dagger from his oversized clothes and directly hacked the seemingly high-ranking sergeant to death.
"Scholars! Take Ii Naobi's head!" He shouted loudly.
A group of crying people instantly turned into villains with knives.
"Alert!" someone shouted.
The situation suddenly turned into a conflagration.
At this time, Naobi Jingyi finally reacted, and in a panic, he wanted to abandon the sedan chair and run away.
But at this time, a figure suddenly rushed out from the woods on the side.
The person who came was holding a threat, as if flying in the sky.
Jingyi Naobi was still sitting in the sedan chair, and the man who flew out directly waved his sword.
Zheng——
The sedan chair split into two, revealing the stunned Ii Naobi inside.
The man kicked the upper part of the sedan chair away with one foot, killing the soldier beside him.
After he sheathed Wakiba, he drew a dagger from the scabbard on his chest.
"Wait—don't kill me!" Naobi Ii couldn't help shouting in fright.
The man was expressionless.
"I didn't kill you for hatred, but for the stupid things you've done over the years, which ruined the future of this country."
The person who came was Zuo Cun Anuo, who had disappeared for two years.
The dagger stabbed without hesitation.
Zuo Cun cut off Naobi Ii's head, threw it on the ground, and looked at the riot ahead.
"It's a clever idea, but unfortunately I can't do it."
After saying this, Zuo Cun jumped up again and disappeared into the woods.
The patriots in the front, after breaking through the soldiers' defense line, finally came to the sedan chair of Ii Naobi.
But the scene in front of him made him dumbfounded.
Four or five corpses that were directly split in half fell to one side, and the sedan chair was completely split in half. The key to their operation, Jingyi Zhibi, was also dead, lying in the sedan chair with his head in a different place.
There was a stench of blood on the ground.
This—is there anyone else in this operation?
Before he could think about it, he grabbed Jing Yi Zhibi's glaring head and shouted, "The thief has turned his head!"
Then he ran away holding Ii Naobi's head.
And the soldiers finally managed to control the scene, and when they turned their heads, they saw the man who was running with Ii Zhibi in his arms, and he was chasing after him.
If the escort mission fails, if he can't even save his master's body, he might just cut himself off!
On the other hand, Zuo Cun, who killed Ii Naobi with a thunderous momentum, had already arrived at a nearby village.
===Chapter 340 The last effort to go to Edo===
Zuo Cun shook his body and walked into one of the rooms in the village without any exception.
"Mr. Wu Shi, it's been a long wait." Zuo Cun apologized to the man and sat opposite.
"It's okay, what did Mr. Zuo Cun do?" The man sitting opposite Zuo Cun was a little curious.
He was one of the many people Zuo Village knew in Tosa. His name was Takeshi Banping Tai, and he was one of the few people in Tosa who really had some strength.
