  Chapter 273 38. To be in power and be a big official

  In the small office room, only Chuemon and Sukeruk were left. There was no candlelight, it was darkly painted, but Chuemon's eyes were extremely bright.

"would you like?"

  A simple question, Tademon looked at Sukeruchi, hoping to get an answer from him. He was married with the daughter of Matsushita Fifty-eight, Abe's retainer, and he was somewhat inclined. However, it was crowned by Mizuno Tadakuni Yuanfu, bestowing the good name of "Bang", and he had a half-child friendship with Mizuno Tadakuni.

  His life trajectory is the same as that of many big names, and he has exchanges with many big names in one way or another, or marriage, or ceremonies. Originally just thinking of multiple friends and multiple roads, now it is in the center of the storm of the entire whirlpool.

   And he should have seen the situation very clearly now. The struggle of the upper shogunate did not treat people as people at all. In order to seize the supreme power of the shogunate, everything can be checked and balanced. They are chess players, and even the "human" Sukeroku and Chuemon, in their eyes, are nothing more than chess pieces that can be used at will.

  When you need to use it up to you, draw in closeness and even save your daughter's money. When you don't need to use it, you can cut the abdomen of others directly without blinking.

  Perhaps such a cold-blooded face is the true face of this upper shogunate. All the warmth and affection in normal times are just disguised to show outsiders.

  Abe Masahiro is like this, Mizuno Tadakuni may not be the same!

  In the face of the sixty-six countries under the rulership, no one can be exempt from the vulgar, in order to control him, can sacrifice everything. As long as you can touch him at the end, everything is worth it.

   "I don't want to!" Zhu Liu groaned for a while, then suddenly raised his head.

   "Very good!" Chuemon stretched out his hand and took Shuroku's hand all at once.

  The hands of both of them were wet with sweat, I don't know if they were thinking about the same thing. The friendship of many years was reaffirmed at this moment, and the two people were connected.

  To be an official, to be in power!

  Be a high official!

  To be in power!

  Tadaemon quickly informed Shuroku about his plan. Shuroku was not shocked at all. He just nodded and stood up.

   "What do I need to say?"

   "It's not easy to say, success or failure, not in you and me, in..." Chuemon extended his hand and pointed upwards.

   "That James will return for at least three to five years. If he cannot start a country, he will surely make waves again." This time it can be perfunctory, and the next time.

   "The sky is falling down, and someone is staring at it. The big deal will be the founding of the country!" Chuemon said it was very light. Even if the Americans arrive in a few years, who knows what it will be like at that time.

  It is nothing more than Perry's black ship coming to sail, being bombarded by hundreds of artillery pieces to open the country, and the vigorous curtain down movement suddenly began. Perhaps the turbulent era is the good era for Chuyoumon and Shuroku.

   "Maybe one day, I will lead a horse for you!" Seeing Tademon's relaxed expression, he helped Roku as a world away.

  "Who knows, maybe you will be able to rejuvenate the Genji in Hanoi one day and become a great name for Million Stone. I will be your housekeeper at that time, but I don’t know."

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha……"

  In a small dark room, the two laughed at the same time, and there was a different kind of invigoration!

  ………………………………

  Ryobi Matsudaira, who had retired from Edo, stood outside Shichishou Gate. It was a coincidence that he saw Yoshinobu Obe, who stood respectfully on the side of the road and saluted Qishen Matsudaira. Songping Qixuan also nodded to him and patted the saddle at the same time. After receiving the hint from Qixuan Matsudaira, Yobe Ryobi was determined.

  The raging spark has been ignited, and the rest is to add firewood!

  Two passers-by passed by, and Yobe Ryobi found another key figure. Ooka Tadago, who served as the appointee of Tokugawa Ikei’s imperial side, had already lost value at this time and was retreating from the city.

  Central Austria is of course not the same as Dao. Dao does not allow men other than generals to stay overnight. China and Austria allow men to be on duty, but the duty will definitely not be done by the 23,000 Shishi Daiming Ooka Tadaguro. It was all about Yushuyuan Fan and Yuxiao, and Ooka Tadago would leave work at that point.

   "Iwataki Hou!" Atobe Ryobi called Ooka Tadagoo.

   "Well? It's not..." Tadokura Ooka was about to take the call when he suddenly realized that there was no one on either side.

  Don’t look at Ooka Tadoku, who is also a big name, but he is just a wage earner in Zhongao, so all the followers and things are waiting in the city. On the way out of the city, there is no one to attend. But even so, how could the huge Zhongao have no one, leaving only two of them.

   "I have something to say to you..." Ryobi Okobe took a step closer.

   "..." Ooka Tadoku is very clear about his identity.

  As Tokugawa Ieki’s closest side-employer, no matter what he says, he can’t be biased. It is precisely because of his ten thousand years of neutral attitude and the relationship that he has served by Tokugawa Jiaqing since he was a child, he has been able to stand by Tokugawa Jiaqing and be respected by the princes Qimoto.

  If he is involved in the fight between the high-level shogunate, he won’t be able to win, and if he loses, it’s not as simple as losing power. For someone like him, losing the trust of the general is tantamount to the double end of political life and physical life.

  You have listened to so much around the general and lost the trust of the general. Do you still want to live a long life?

  "My brother hopes that the general will not see anyone tomorrow morning." On this request, Ryobi Kibe, as far as rewards, are smart people, so there is no need to say more.

  And Ryobi Ooka does not expect Ooka Tadashi to agree on the spot ~lightnovelpub.net~ or even promise anything. They are all chess players, so how could they leave any flaws before they move.

  It seems that Ooka Tadoku, who has not heard anything, is separated from Okabe Yoshiki. Recently, the battle between the shogunate has reached a small (shielded) tide. Between the conservatives and the reformers, the rift has become bigger due to the requisition of Edo Tianshou labor service and the reappointment of a series of personnel.

  In addition to the occurrence of James’ bombardment of Edo, it is not a catalyst, and it blows into the big fish pond of Edo!

  Matsuhira Qixuan, who had just had dinner with Tokugawa Ikei, obviously had a lot of whispers with Tokugawa Ieki. Judging from Tokugawa Ieki’s expression of undying anger, someone must have an accident tomorrow.

  Referring to the words of Yobe Yoshiki, and Mizuno Tadakuni, who suddenly took sick leave, a big game has been played to the middle, and tomorrow may be the time to decide the outcome. What the reformists hope is that Tokugawa Ieki maintains his current anger and is no longer disturbed by anything else.

  Very easy!

  But what will be the reward?

  Looking at the old office's office, which had been turned off, Ooka took a sip of water...
