Japanese: その孫の牧野宇右衛門が、池田輝政に召しだされたことが、先祖の池田家仕官の由緒である。
English: In August 1862, Yoshimasa was requested by Tadaka ICHIJO, Sadaijin (Minister of the Left), to 'receive the order of Imperial court and procure the state affairs' through a secret agent and also received an 'Imperial order to procure and devote the country' from the Imperial Court in October 1862, but Yoshimasa was caught in the middle of the Sabaku-ha (supporters of the Shogun) and the sonjo (advocating reverence for the Emperor and the expulsion of foreigners) party, and moreover, could not move due to illness.
Japanese: 文久2年（1862年）8月、慶政に左大臣・一条忠香より密使を通じて「朝命を拝し国事周旋せよ」との依頼あり、同年10月も朝廷より「周旋報国の勅命」を受けたが慶政は佐幕派と尊攘派の板挟みとなり、また病気も患っていたため動きが取れなかった。
English: Therefore, Gonrokuro who belonged to the sonjo party went up to Kyoto and started activities uniquely as an official to procure the state affairs together with Ichizen TOKURA (senior retainer), Ryuhei DOI (head clerk), Yoichiro ITO (head of the servants), Eima EMI (archer), etc., but it is said that Tadaka was outraged and said to 'have Yoshimasa retire' because his scheme to grasp the initiative in the Imperial Court suppressing Satsuma and Choshu domains by linking with the lord of Okayama Domain did not work well as he planned.
Japanese: そのため、尊攘派であった権六郎は土倉一善（家老）・土肥隆平（番頭）・伊東与一郎（側児小姓頭）・江見鋭馬（弓(武器)組士）らとともに独自に国事周旋方として京都に上洛して活動を始めたが、忠香は岡山藩主と連携して薩摩藩・長州藩を抑えて朝廷での主導権をとる目論見があったが思うようにいかないため「慶政を隠居させるように」と激怒したという。
English: Later, Gonrokuro was active in Kyoto with Akimasa IKEDA as the representative, but it did not work well against Satsuma and Choshu of which lord of the domain himself stood in the front, so it was decided to have Yoshimasa retire, but Gonrokuro and Emi visited Tadaka ICHIJO for consultation because Teigoro IKEDA, Yoshimasa's son, was ingorant, and Tadaka said to 'select Mochimasa IKEDA in Mito Domain', and therefore, they submitted an opinion to the upper stratum to adopt Kuromaro.
Japanese: その後、池田政詮を名代にたてて京都で活動したが藩主自らが先頭に立つ薩長相手に思うようにいかなかったので、慶政を隠居に追い込むこととしたが慶政の息子・池田鼎五郎は暗愚であるため権六郎と江見は一条忠香に相談に伺い、忠香は「水戸藩の池田茂政にせい」といったので上層部に九郎麿を養子にするようにと上申したという。
English: In 1865, Gonrokuro recommended Kagenao MORISHITA to a magistrate of the county (Bicchu Province) and later made Kagenao his own right-hand man.
Japanese: 慶応元年（1865年）、森下景端を郡奉行（備中国）に推挙して後に自身の右腕とした。
English: In the same year, Gonrokuro, a shell-drum magistrate (Assistant Deputy General), proposed to Mochimasa IKEDA to dispatch Yoshimoto HANABUSA to Nagasaki for purchasing warships and weapons of the domain.
Japanese: 同年、貝太鼓奉行（軍監）だった権六郎は池田茂政に藩の軍艦・武器購入のため花房義質を長崎に派遣するよう進言した。
