Imperial Palace in Tokyo, Japan. Although most of the palace's buildings were destroyed during the previous fierce battles. However, a small number of buildings have survived. Emperor Taisho and the Japanese imperial family are now confined in the imperial palace.

Although, the Chinese Empire has decided to weaken the influence of the Japanese emperor in Japan. However, the plan needs to be implemented step by step. For now, the Emperor of Japan has a lot of use value. For example, in the northern part of Honshu, Hokkaido, and Shikoku, there are many Japanese troops. Until they are eliminated, the empire will not touch the emperor of Japan.

The four of them, Saionji Kobo, Hara Kei, Wakatsuki Reijiro and Hamaguchi Yukio, went to the Imperial Palace. The purpose of their visit was to get Emperor Taisho to sign the "Sino-Japanese Treaty of Peace and Friendship." Although, the conditions put forward by the Chinese Empire were very harsh. However, there is no way for Xiyuan Temple Gongwang and others. Who made them lose the war? Since the war was lost. Then, it is normal to pay compensation for land cession and sign various unequal treaties. Even though, this time the conditions on the part of the Chinese Empire were harsh. However, they have long been out of bargaining qualifications.

For Saionji Gongwang and others, asking them to force Emperor Taisho to sign this treaty was also a test for them. If they successfully complete this task, it undoubtedly means that they have truly broken with Japan and are willing to be China's dogs. If they don't do it well, it means they have other ideas. Marshal Shi Deshan, I'm afraid I have to make other preparations.

Xiyuan Temple looks at these guys, all of them are human spirits, so they naturally know what this means.

"Lord Xiyuan Temple, the conditions of the Chinese are too harsh. We have to pay back the indemnity of 15 billion Chinese dollars for 50 years! Rejiro Wakatsuki said. He is the Tax Collector of the Governor's Palace, and once the military rule is over, he will take over as Chancellor of the Exchequer in the new government. The annual indemnity of 300 million Chinese dollars will undoubtedly be a heavy burden on Japan's finances in the future.

"300 million Chinese dollars is enough, if we don't develop armaments, saving 300 million Chinese dollars is not a big problem. The Chinese forcibly occupied Kyushu Island and its affiliated islands, and this is the deadliest thing. If the more than 10 million Japanese moved to the other three islands, it would further increase the crowding. Yuan Jing said. Japan is already a very small country. It is not easy for tens of millions of Japanese to live on these small islands. If the island of Kyushu were to be lost, Japan would undoubtedly be more densely populated. When the time comes, their life firepower will be even greater.

"The Chinese have made these demands, can we refuse? We simply couldn't refuse. So, we can only endure it. As for the Japanese people on Kyushu, please move to Hokkaido and Shikoku as much as possible. Xiyuan Temple Gongwang said.

Hokkaido is slightly less densely populated and can accommodate quite a few people. Of course, the environment there is also a little worse. Shikoku Island is mountainous and similarly a little less populated. If you really want to resettle the more than 10 million people on Kyushu Island, it is not impossible to resettle them. Of course, that will make Japan more crowded in the future, and their lives will be more difficult. It's just, as Saionji Gongwang said. There was simply no way for them to refuse the conditions put forward by the Chinese Empire. So, they can only endure in silence.

Yuan Jing and the others were silent, they knew that what Xiyuan Temple Gongwang said was very right. Today's Japan is simply unable to resist the Chinese Empire. Whatever the Chinese Empire asked, they could only comply. Otherwise, they will pay a greater price. Perhaps this is the sorrow of the vanquished.

Soon, Saionji Gongwang and others arrived at the Imperial Palace, and met Emperor Taisho in a side hall of the former Imperial Palace. At this moment, Emperor Taisho's face was pale, his eyes were deep-set, and he didn't have the demeanor of the emperor of the past at all, but more like an old man in his last years. The destruction of the country, coupled with all kinds of blows and insults, made Emperor Taisho almost unbearable.

"His Majesty the Emperor." Saionji Gongwang and others bowed slightly and saluted Emperor Taisho.

Emperor Taisho raised his head and looked at Saionji Gongwang and the others, a trace of anger and disgust flashed in his eyes. For Saionji Konobo and others, Emperor Taisho was very hateful. If it weren't for the rebellion of Saionji Gongwang, he might have left Japan. Although, it will be very difficult to live in exile in the United States. However, it is definitely a thousand times better than it is now.

"You damned traitors, you betrayed me and the Great Japanese Empire, and you will definitely go to hell when you die." Emperor Taisho cursed viciously. This may be the only way for him to take revenge on Gongwang and others in Xiyuan Temple.

Listening to the vicious words said by Emperor Taisho, and looking at Emperor Taisho's current embarrassed appearance, Xiyuan Temple Gongwang and others couldn't help but have a trace of guilt in their eyes. The reason why Emperor Taisho fell to his current position is indeed inseparable from them.

"Your Majesty, the war between us and the Chinese is over. Now, it's time to sign a treaty of peace and friendship. The treaty has been drawn up, so please ask His Majesty the Emperor to sign it. Xiyuan Temple Gongwang said. Subsequently, he handed the treaty that had been drawn up to Emperor Taisho.

Emperor Taisho opened the treaty, and after reading it, he laughed. However, his smile was definitely not a happy smile, but an angry laugh. This treaty is simply harsh to the extreme. However, these traitors were still ashamed to get him to sign.

"You despicable and shameless fellows, it seems that you have forgotten that you are Japanese and are willing to act as lackeys of the Shina people. Amaterasu will definitely punish you. The people of Japan will spit on you. Emperor Taisho scolded bitterly.

"No, Your Majesty. People don't scold us, they thank us. It was we who ended the war and protected them. It is we who will give them a peaceful life and let them have a full stomach. Rejiro Wakatsuki retorted.

Emperor Taisho was stunned for a moment, once upon a time, these courtiers were in front of him, only to listen to his reprimand, when would they dare to refute it! But now, everything seems to be different. These guys actually dare to refute him, they are really bold!

"Nonsense, you're all talking nonsense! The subjects of the Great Japanese Empire will never compromise with the Shina people, they will fight to the end. Emperor Taisho roared angrily.

"Your Majesty, then let's wait and see. However, Your Majesty must first sign this treaty, and let us go back so that we can have an explanation. Rejiro Wakatsuki said.

"Don't think! You traitors, you want to betray the interests of the Great Japanese Empire and curry favor with the Shina people, so that you can be promoted to a knighthood. I'm not going to let you get what you want. Emperor Taisho said angrily.

"Your Majesty, please don't embarrass us. If you don't cooperate, we're probably going to have to take some measures. Yukio Hamaguchi said with a frown. After Reijiro Wakatsuki had already expressed his attitude, he also expressed his attitude.

"What? Do you dare to threaten me? "Emperor Taisho was furious.

"Your Majesty, please don't embarrass us." Saionji Gongwang and Yuan Kei also said. If they are not able to complete this task, then their position in the mind of Marshal Shi Deshan will definitely be greatly affected.

However, Emperor Taisho still refused to sign the treaty.

In the absence of a way, Xiyuan Temple Gongwang and others had to take some extraordinary measures.

"Gentlemen, please help His Majesty the Emperor." Xiyuan Temple Gongwang said coldly.

So, Reijiro Wakatsuki and Yukio Hamaguchi rushed directly towards Emperor Taisho, grabbed Emperor Taisho's hand, and pressed their handprints on the treaty. Although, Emperor Taisho is only in his forties, Rejiro Wakatsuki is fifty-seven years old, and Yukio Hamaguchi is also forty-three years old. However, Emperor Taisho's health was so bad that he simply couldn't compete with them. Saionji Gongwang and Yuan Kei stood aside and did not move. Because, Xiyuan Temple Gongwang is now over seventy years old, and Yuan Jing is almost seventy.

"Baga Ya Road! You bastards, if you dare to do this to me, the people of the Great Japanese Empire will never let you go. Emperor Taisho roared.

However, the two of them, Reijiro Wakatsuki and Yukio Hamaguchi, couldn't help but catch Emperor Taisho directly and pressed their handprints on the treaty. Then, I went to bring the jade seal of Emperor Taisho and stamped the treaty. This means that Emperor Taisho has already signed this treaty. The Treaty entered into force. The tasks assigned by Marshal Shi Deshan have also been completed.

"You rebels and thieves, you don't have to die well!" Emperor Taisho roared angrily. However, Xiyuan Temple Gongwang and the others didn't care at all. Perhaps, from their subconscious, they no longer fear the emperor.

After completing the task, Saionji Gongwang and others bowed to Emperor Taisho again, saying "rude", and then left the palace and went to Marshal Ishitozan to return to his life.

It was also at this time that Emperor Taisho sensed that there really was no hope for Japan. Even these former courtiers were not afraid of him at all and didn't care about him anymore. The influence of the emperor is declining. No matter how angry Emperor Taisho is, it is like a beast in a cage, and there is no way but to wait for the final fate.

After the signing of the Sino-Japanese Treaty of Peace and Friendship, the war between the Chinese Empire and Japan came to an end. This treaty would lead to the complete destruction of Japan and its transformation into a vassal state under the control of the Chinese Empire. And the Chinese Empire was able to gain a lot of benefits from this treaty. (To be continued.) )
