11. Large and Small Countries (4)

Everyone understands that the great horror of China is the most powerful obstacle in the face of the rise of the Yamato nation in Japan, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi's experience makes people clearly understand this, "If the compensation cannot be obtained, I think the emperor will not care, but if the great cause of the restoration is blocked by this rash conflict, the people of the Admiralty must apologize, and I will definitely be severely punished by His Majesty the Emperor, and my own floating body does not matter," Okubo Ritsu's eyes showed a terrifying light, "The great cause of the empire is the most important!" ”

"Hay!" The retinue bowed, "For the great cause of the empire, we are all ready to give our lives at any time!" ”

Okubo Ritsu touched his crutches, "This time I came to the Qing Kingdom, and I found that the political reforms they carried out now seem to be very successful, and I don't know the strength of the sailors, but the degree of industrialization makes Japan unable to catch up!" There is not much time left for Japan, and we must pick ourselves up. You send a telegram back and make my meaning clear," Okubo Ritsu was obviously stimulated by the appearance of China, "If I can't get the Ryukyus this time, I will return to Japan soon, and I can't wait to start more reforms!" ”

"Lord Dage, please rest assured, the Chinese dare not make a move, they are more afraid of war than us." The official is not incompetent, and what he said is very reasonable, "According to the judgment of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Chinese will only use the method of intimidation and demonstration to scare our Japanese Empire, and we must not be intimidated by the intimidation of the Qing Kingdom!" ”

"In our tacit policy, we want to do this," Okubo Ritsu is a wise man, and he sees it very clearly, so he is very worried, "In China, we may not be able to recognize such a result, and if the Beiyang Naval Division is close to the waters of Japan, I am afraid that it will cause an uproar in the country...... "......

When the emperor heard the news from Wang Qingqi, he stood up, "What? The emperor brushed the falling flowers on his body, "But really? ”

"The minister didn't dare to lie," Wang Qingqi handed over the telegram, "This is a telegram from Fuzhou." ”

The emperor took the telegram, and a smile appeared on his face, and the smile became bigger and bigger, "Hahahaha, good, good, good Peng Xueshuai, good emperor!" The emperor grabbed Wang Qingqi, his eyes were full of joy, "Xianqing, you have good news!" ”

"Doesn't the emperor blame Lord Peng for acting without permission?"

"How could I blame," the emperor pulled Wang Qingqi, very happy, "I'm very happy, I can't get out of my own will, fortunately, the emperor is angry with me, I know what I mean," the emperor was very moved, and he didn't call himself me at this time, "I really don't know how to say it, and only the emperor will treat me like this, for my sake," he smiled and burst into tears, "I am the Son of Heaven, but now I can't give orders freely, it's really a nest, even the emperor and I discussed it before leaving Beijing, I was too impulsive to handle the title of King of Parliament, and instead made people laugh at me for being rude and disrespectful to the heroes. Xianqing," the emperor patted Wang Qingqi's hand, Wang Qingqi broke free slightly, but felt that the emperor held it tightly, "With such an emperor's mother, my pressure is too great, do you know, when, everything is not as good as the emperor's mother, but now I am glad to be tight," the emperor opened his arms towards the lake, roared loudly, startled countless birds, "Ah! With such a mother, no matter how difficult it is, I am not afraid! ”

Wang Qingqi held his hand, looked at the emperor's back and laughed, "The minister thought that the emperor would blame the queen mother." ”

"No," the emperor was originally extremely depressed, knowing this, his heart suddenly brightened, his heart knot has gone, and he will no longer be irritable because of the entanglement of the mother-son relationship or the ability problem, he turned his head and showed a bright smile towards Wang Qingqi, this smile is impressive, engraved into the hearts of the people, "Who is good to me, I have a tight heart." ”

The emperor walked back to the Qianqiu Pavilion, and the eunuchs who were far away also rushed over, "The sixth uncle has his own selfishness, it may not be for my good, it's just that I can't understand it, I haven't had the emperor since I was a child," the emperor laughed at himself, "It's common to be stubborn." ”

Wang Qingqi just listened silently and did not express his opinion, the emperor let out a long breath, he didn't need anyone to talk, but his mind was quick to vomit, his mind calmed down, and he waved his hand to let Chen Shengwen and the others go farther, "Japan is arrogant and rude, and I still want to ask for silver!" Isn't it a big injustice? Hehe, "The emperor's mind is clear, but some people are afraid that they will be unlucky," Call, I want to see the faces of the sixth uncle!" ”

The emperor strode away, and before leaving, he instructed Wang Qingqi, "Accompany me to eat in the evening before leaving." Wang Qingqi bowed down, and the eunuchs left, leaving Wang Qingqi alone, standing quietly under the acacia flowers, looking at the emperor's distant figure, without saying a word. (To be continued.) )
