After thirteen years of culture (18 16), Zhongzhi officially debuted. According to the convention, he ranked first major general in Zuo Quan from the fifth place, and jumped to fourth place in February of the same year. In the second year, at the age of ten, he was promoted to accept the words from the three powers, served as the left lieutenant general, and began to participate in the ceremonial activities of the court. In the second year, political culture (18 19) made great achievements. Three years (1820) unfortunately lost his father, and he became the 26th generation praetorian guard. Because my grandfather Jin Wei Jingxi and my father Jin Du died before the age of 40, no one in the Jin Wei family has served as regent for two consecutive generations. In order to revive the family reputation, the whole family pinned their hopes on Xi Zhong, and her mother Ji Qin was very strict with him.
In the seventh year of Zheng Wen (1824), he was promoted to two internal ministers. Since then, he has been a minister for 24 years, except for the five-year official rank adjustment, which started from Tianbao No.1 Middle School. The reason for this situation is not only personal experience, but also the result of intrigue between Ying Si Zheng Tong and Jiu Shouzhong, two senior ministers in front of him. At that time, the imperial court in Kyoto was completely bound by the laws of the Forbidden City, and officials entertained themselves with poems and songs all day, knowing nothing about state affairs. Besides continuing to burn incense, they are most concerned about their promotion. But at that time, the shape of the world had already changed, the shogunate was declining, the governors looked around, and overseas countries were eyeing Japan. As early as the first year of Honghua (1844), the Dutch government warned the shogunate that western powers would invade Japan, while the imperial court was preparing for the completion of the college before the Spring Festival, and it was completely quiet before the storm.
In the third year of Honghua, Emperor Renxiao collapsed, and the colleague Prince succeeded to the throne, which was Emperor Xiaoming. At this time, Xi Zhong was immersed in the joy of promotion. After many years as a young prince, he finally became the right prime minister, ranking third, and getting closer and closer to Guan Bai's goal. A month later, his mother died, and Wei first tasted the impermanence of life and dependence on Thailand.
In the first year of Yongjia (1848), 65438+ February, the emperor got married and married nine daughters of Minister Zuo, that is. His daughter is still young, and she has no choice. Therefore, Zheng Xi felt a little disappointed, but she was able to receive the glorious mission of writing a plaque for the academy and show her calligraphy skills in front of the world, which was enough for him to find face. In the same month, another thing happened. The wife of Tokugawa, the son of the shogunate, died. It seems that it has nothing to do with him, but the door of fate has quietly opened for him.
In the sixth year of Yongjia (1853), the American black ship came to sail, and the curtain was undecided. Even General Tokugawa IeYoshi died of grief. The emperor prayed for peace in seven halls and seven halls. However, God is ineffective. The following year (1854), not only did American general Perry make trouble again, but in April, even the interior was destroyed by fire, and the guards living next to the palace also suffered unfortunately, and most of them lost their treasures. The whole family had to seek temporary shelter in a nearby temple and had to endure intermittent earthquakes in Feng Jingen. In June, 5438 +065438+ 10, the news of Mount Fuji landslide came from Kanto, and the emperor quickly changed the dynasty and granted amnesty to the world. Things are a little stable. In the third year of Anzheng (1856), Shimadzu's in-laws sent a courtier to Kyushu. A surname, the stepwife designated by the new general Tokugawa, died shortly after marriage. The widowed general lacks a life partner, and Shimadzu's family plans to marry his daughter. The women of the Wu family had no precedent of being a royal Taiwan affairs office, so they had to ask the Wei family to accept them as adopted daughters and then enter the Great Olympics. Zheng Xi thought of his wife, Yukio Shimazu, who died seven years ago. Since she married the guard, she hasn't enjoyed it for a few days, and she has always owed the Shimadzu family a favor. Besides, this accommodation can also enhance the reputation of the guards. There is a precedent for Toyotomi Hideyoshi and his aunt Kazuko Shimadzu, and I am not afraid that other officials will object. In February of 65438+, Duji, the daughter of Shimadzu family, became the hostess of the Great Olympics as a bodyguard. In the fourth year of Anzheng (1857), Ying Si Zheng Tong became the Taige last year, and the nine people who were close to the curtain were still loyal to the new Guan Bai, and Xi Zhong, the bodyguard, became the minister of Zuo in January this year. From the right minister to the left minister, I waited for 1 1 spring and autumn. This year is just half a year old, which is really 50 years on earth. But being promoted smoothly is the reward of being the father-in-law of the general. When left as a minister, Guan Bai was not far away.
In the first month of the fifth year of Anzheng (1858), Lin Wei, a university student, came to Beijing and presented the credentials of the United States requesting the opening of ports and the exchange of markets, requesting a ruling. The Emperor invited 30 ministers to discuss, and the bee-beard He Maoshao wrote a secret letter to the Eagle Master Taige, denouncing the incompetence of the shogunate, while Nakayama Zhongneng and Hatomachi Sanzhen also quarreled with Dedaikiqing, and finally went straight to 88 to besiege Jiuguan White House to protest. In June, a peace treaty was concluded with the United States, which caused dissatisfaction among ministers. Later, Japan signed a contract with five powerful countries, and the ministers such as Eagle Division, Guards and Mito conspired to stop it, and Naoki Shinichi took the lead in foiling the plot. The situation has finally expanded. In August, the Tokugawa family died, and the guards who lost their shogunate backers were like candles in the wind. 10, Tokugawa Jiamao became a general, and the old central region won the battle in Beijing, uniting 900 officials and Sakai Tadashi to purge all the forces of the imperial court. Tiger Ying Si Zheng Tong and 300,000 former ministers were forced to shave their hair and become monks. At the beginning of the second year, the second batch of purge lists was published, and princes such as Zunrong Prince, Jin Wei, Fuxi, Xiang and Jiuyi Jiantong were impressively listed. Minister Zuo Wei Xi Zhong also resigned and shaved his head. Reorganizing the court is only the first step. The scope of the shogunate attack gradually expanded to the whole country, and famous generals such as Mito Francisco and Tokugawa Zhao Ji were also punished. Many people with lofty ideals died in prison, especially Yoshida Shōin and Three Lai Saburo. This series of events is called an Zhengda prison in history.
From the sixth year of Anzheng to the first year of Wen Jiu, Xi Zhong lived in seclusion. During this period, Mr. Jing Yi died of Sakurajima incident, Zhao Qi's illness in Tokugawa, and his marriage with the shogunate. In 1992 (1862), the imperial edict was lifted or secluded. Tadashi returned to Kyoto after storing hair. Jiujia, the enemy of the bodyguard's family, was unlucky, and Tianzhu gained the upper hand. Even Shimada and Yuxiang, two doctors who shut down Jiujia's family, were assassinated. In June of the same year, Jiuzhong was deposed and exiled to Luowai, and nearly Wei suddenly succeeded to the throne. It's a perfect match. Things are different. Perhaps he has seen too many human joys and sorrows and is tired of court life. In the first month of the following year, Wei resigned from his post, and the long-awaited minister was in an extreme position. Finally, it always seems like a spring dream. This time, his decision is correct. A few months later, the Maori family, who was moved out of the forbidden door, fought against the Huijin Songping family who maintained public order in Kyoto. Radical Changzhou Fanjiuban and others also rushed into the Fuxi family of Xinguan White Eagle Company. In the end, seven officials, including Sanjiang Zhensan and Anega Haoer, were stranded in Changzhou. In order to protect the palace, the emperor issued sword orders to officials and ministers. At this time, the imperial city has already become a field of shura. However, world events have nothing to do with retired loyal Xi.
During the Meiji Restoration, Xi Zhong served as a national adviser, but he was soon dismissed. His successor was Wei Zhongfang nearby. Before he died, his family business was transferred to his youngest son, who was Wei Dugu nearby. In Meiji 3 1 year (1898), Tadao died. Six years later, Benedict died, and Fumimaro Konoe, the grandson raised by Enghee, succeeded him to the throne. Wen Kun later became the Japanese Prime Minister and committed suicide by taking poison after the defeat. His son Wen died in the Soviet labor camp, and his grandson Hosokawa Morihiro inherited the family business to this day, so Wen Kun is also called the last guard.
