"Master Yidao Zhai, can you please screen out the outsiders first?"
As soon as Naoki's words fell, Ashiku stuck out his tongue very consciously, then got up and left the room: "Then I'll go outside the hotel for a while... I'll be back later."
Azuki moved, but Acho did not.
"This is my wife." Ogata looked at Atachi on the left, "I have shared honor and disgrace with me for a long time, like my half body. So she doesn't have to leave."
Seeing Ogata said that Ah-cho doesn't need to leave, Naoshu didn't say anything more.
In the room, only Ogata and Atachi were left, sitting in pairs with Naoshu and Isshiki.
After Azuki left, Naoshu still didn't get down to business immediately, but first signaled Isshiki beside him with his eyes to let Isshiki inspect the surroundings of the room.
Isshiki finally cleared his throat after checking that no one was eavesdropping outside the room, and sitting alone by the door, monitoring the movement outside the door.
"Master Yidao Zhai, in order not to waste your time, I will tell you directly."
Naosuke stared straight into Ogata's eyes, then said word by word:
"Ittosai-sama, I hope you can help us defeat the Tokugawa family!"
……
……
--ha……?
……
……
After hearing what Naoshu said just now, the first words that emerged from Ogata's mind were—"Huh?"
After savoring and digesting Naoshu's words just now, Ogata's eyes widened slightly in astonishment.
Ogata's reaction was quite calm, but it was different for A-Machi who was sitting next to Ogata--A-Machi's eyes were so wide that the eyeballs seemed to be falling off, and his complexion changed drastically.
Unlike Ogata, Acho is not a time traveler, but a veritable person from the Edo period.
What Naoshu said just now had an even greater impact on Machi, a native of the Edo period.
"...defeat...the Tokugawa family...?" A-machi murmured, "You mean...defeat the Edo shogunate?"
Naosuke nodded solemnly: "That's right. We want to do righteousness and punish the Edo Shogunate, which has become a moth that harms the world."
"so--"
Zhi Zhou cast a fiery gaze on Ogata.
"I would like to ask Mr. Yidao Zhai to help me wait."
"As long as Master Yi Dao Zhai helps me, I'll be waiting for ten thousand people... No! It's like winning an army of one million!"
"After all, just your name and your influence are enough to reach thousands of troops..."
Before Zhi Zhou could finish speaking, Xu Jianyi raised his hand to signal him to be quiet first.
Seeing Ogata's gesture, Naoshu also consciously closed his mouth.
"This is a bit far from what you told me before, isn't it?" Ogata said in a deep voice, "More than an hour ago, you clearly told me that you wanted me to be a swordsmanship teacher."
"How come after more than an hour, it turned into asking me to help you with the curtain?"
Hearing this, Zhizhou smiled awkwardly.
"Sorry, this is my responsibility. I didn't make it clear before."
"I'll explain it to you slowly now."
"I will explain the reasons why we decided to close the curtain, and what I want to invite Mr. Yidao Zhai to do."
After all, he cleared his throat vigorously.
Probably because of his age, Naosuke was a little phlegm.
After clearing his throat, Naosuke straightened his back and sat upright.
"As I just mentioned: we are determined to kill the Edo shogunate for the sake of righteousness."
"To put it bluntly - the reason why we decided to close the curtain is to let the people all over the world live a better life."
Zhizhou paused again and cleared his throat.
"I don't know if you two have heard this famous saying: Keeping the peasants half dead is the secret of governing the country."
"This sentence can be described as extremely vicious."
"If the peasants don't have to worry about food, it's easy to think wildly."
"And if the peasants can't eat, they are prone to riots."
"This extremely vicious sentence, to put it bluntly, is a means of fooling the people - although the farmers will not starve to death, their lives are not very good, and the days when they are full are few and far between. In this way, the farmers will Eat and work hard."
"It not only prevents farmers from having unreasonable thoughts because their lives are too good, but also prevents farmers from rioting because of their poor lives."
"This extremely vicious sentence was said by Tokugawa Ieyasu, the founder of the Edo Shogunate."
"For the past 200 years, the Edo shogunate has faithfully practiced this ancestral precept."
"Everything since the opening of the Edo Shogunate has been for one purpose - to maintain its own rule."
"Thus, looking at the history since the opening of the Edo shogunate, we can find that the Edo shogunate never thought about how to improve the lives of the samurai and the common people from the beginning to the end."
"Take farmers as an example. Under the "good intentions" of the Edo shogunate, the lives of farmers have never been improved in the past 200 years. Alive' alternates between these two states."
"The various actions of the Edo shogunate in order to maintain the rule are far more than that."
"For example, the release of the lock-up order - a large part of the reason for the release of the lock-up order is to prevent the daimyo from the southwest from strengthening themselves by doing business with foreign countries, and to prevent the power of merchants and Chezhidan from growing stronger and threatening the Edo shogunate Rule over the world.” [Kirichitan: The name given to Catholics in Japan in the Edo period]
"Another example—distorting 'Bushido'."
"I wonder if the two of you have studied the development history of the so-called 'Bushido'?"
"The original 'Bushido' was not as deformed as it is now..."
"'Bushido' initially required warriors to possess the following qualities: righteousness, courage, benevolence, propriety, sincerity, reputation, loyalty, and self-denial."
"But gradually—'Bushido' changed."
"The current 'Bushido' only requires warriors to have these three qualities: fame, loyalty, and courage."
"Loyalty, bravery and reputation are linked. A warrior, no matter how good he is in other aspects, will be cast aside as a warrior if he lacks loyalty and bravery."
"Only a warrior who is loyal and brave is a real warrior."
"This is... the 'Bushido' of today."
A look of resentment slowly appeared on Zhi Zhou's face.
"And the instigator who caused the 'Bushido' to change its flavor—is the Edo Shogunate."
"The Edo shogunate... or the Tokugawa family, in order to maintain their control over the world, castrated the 'Bushido'."
"Emphasis on 'loyalty'. Let the samurai be loyal to the shogunate, preferably completely loyal, and will not betray under any circumstances."
"Emphasis on 'courage'. Let the samurai become brave warriors who are not afraid of death, and become easy-to-use pawns."
"Then emphasize that only with 'loyalty' and 'courage' can one gain 'name'."
"The Edo shogunate relied on this distorted 'Bushido' to control the samurai and let the samurai foolishly work for them..."
Hearing this, Ogata involuntarily frowned slightly.
Because he recalled... the Hirose Clan warriors headed by Nanahara...
Although he hated Qiyuan and others who washed the Sakakihara Sword Gym with their own hands.
But for Qiyuan and others, Ogata also had a bit of sympathy—the lord they defended with all their loyalty and courage, did not treat them as human beings in the end.
Ogata still vividly remembers how Matsudaira Gennai kicked Qiyuan's head away like a football.
"In short - the idea of governing the country of the Edo shogunate is only to maintain their rule."
"As long as the rule can be maintained, everything else can be ignored."
"They never thought about how well they want to govern the world and this country, how happy the warriors and common people are."
Speaking of this, Naoki let out a few self-deprecating laughs.
"I originally... still had some expectations for the Edo Shogunate. I hope that one day the lords of the Shogunate will no longer only care about maintaining the rule, but start working hard for the happiness of all people in the world."
"However... Matsudaira Sadanobu, who came to power 4 years ago, ruthlessly shattered my expectations."
"It was only after Sadanobu Matsudaira came to power that I decided to defeat the Tokugawa family."
Suddenly hearing the name of an acquaintance from Naoshu's mouth, Ogata frowned.

Chapter 599 Doesn’t Lose To A Machi’s Plump 【5800】
"Presumably the two of you also know that a series of reforms have been initiated since Sadanobu Matsudaira took office as the old middle school in 1787 AD in the seventh year of Tianming."
"For example: Dismiss the remnant party of the former old Nakata Numa Yiji, and rebuild the old-Chinese agreement system with the three imperial families as the core and the genealogy Daidai as the backing."
"Another example: revitalize the samurai clan. Encourage warriors to practice literature and martial arts, ban private prostitutes and geisha, prohibit mixed bathing and pornographic literature... and so on and so on."
Not only do I know about these reforms of Matsudaira Sadanobu, I have chatted with Matsudaira Sadanobu more than once...
Ogata complained silently in his heart.
The current shogun: Tokugawa Iezari, is still very young, only 18 years old this year, and is still at the age of relying on Matsudaira Sadanobu for everything.
Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to call Matsudaira Sadanobu the current head of the shogunate.
If people knew that the current most wanted criminal and terrorist in the shogunate had chatted and laughed with the head of the shogunate, it would shock many people's jaws.
Although he complained fiercely in his heart, Ogata remained silent and continued to listen quietly to Naosuke's impassioned speech.
"The so-called reforms of Matsudaira Sadanobu. Each of them is just to allow the Edo shogunate to continue to rule... no, to enslave this country."
At this time, Zhi Zhou looked resentful.
"The reconstruction of the Laos-China agreement system with the Yusanjia as the core and the genealogy Daidai as the backing is the best example! The reform of Matsudaira Sadanobu's reconstruction of the Laos-China agreement system, to put it bluntly, is to let people named Tokugawa and Matsudaira , be able to rule this country for a long time, and not allow anyone or any force to threaten their status."
"The reform of Matsudaira Sadanobu shattered any expectations we had for the Edo Shogunate."
"So since Matsudaira Sadanobu came to power and took over the position of Lao Zhong, we began to plan and run for the purpose of overthrowing the Edo shogunate."
Speaking of this, Naosuke paused for a while, probably to listen to Ogata's opinion on what he just said while resting.
And Ogata did not disappoint him, he asked immediately as soon as Zhizhou stopped.
"...Since you want to collapse the curtain...then you are going to collapse the curtain? With all due respect, the Edo shogunate, which directly governs a quarter of the country's land, cannot be collapsed just by shouting a few slogans."
"And assuming you really overthrow the Edo shogunate, what are you going to do next? Don't tell me: you want to build another Osaka shogunate in Osaka or somewhere else."
"Master Yidaosai, good question!" Naoki's eyes lit up, "Although the Edo Shogunate is very weak now, it is indeed not a persimmon that is easy to pinch."
"So we have to leverage our strength."
"With the help of Satsuma, Changshu and other foreign daimyos who are not closely related to the Edo shogunate, destroy the Edo shogunate."
"After defeating the Edo shogunate, follow Tang Tu and establish a brand new country centered entirely on His Majesty the Emperor!"
……
……
Naoshu talked endlessly about how they planned to win over daimyos who were at odds with the Edo shogunate, such as Satsuma and Changshu, and how to build a country completely centered on the emperor after the Edo shogunate was destroyed.
To put it simply, Naojo and the others want Japan to return to the Nara and Heian eras hundreds of years ago.
646年，日本发起大化改新，全面学习隋唐的先进制度后，先后进入过2个历史时期奈良时代710年794年和平安时代794年1192年。
These two eras started with the time when the capital was moved. The Nara period began when the country moved to Nara, Heijo-kyo, and the Heian period began when it moved to the current Kyoto of Heian-kyo.
These two eras were both eras when the emperor was the head of state who actually held the power of the country.
It was not until 1192 that the national power was usurped by the samurai group headed by Genji, and Genji established the first shogunate in the Kamakura area: after the Kamakura shogunate, the emperor became the empty title he is now, but he has no power at all. Hand mascot.
After successively experiencing the three eras of the Kamakura Shogunate, the Muromachi Shogunate, and the current Edo Shogunate, the Emperor has been a mascot for nearly 3 years.
Naoshu's purpose is to make the emperor once again become like the emperor of China, a real head of state, ruling and managing the country.
