Wu Peihang saw it and cried out in his heart, why did this come to me, why do you need me to take a ladder to let you come down? sighed in his heart and said, "I have an issue here, involving the four princes, I don't know if I can discuss it by taking this opportunity." ”

Mo Haige ignored King Hua, and said directly: "Speak." ”

Wu Peihang: "The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has always been assisted by me as an assistant to Taifu, and recently the German Foreign Ministry asked the Reich to extend the lease of the Twin Islands embankment because the people of the Twin Islands smashed their churches. ”

"Yo, is this coming for me?" The king of Chu said lightly.

Wu Peihang smiled at the King of Chu and continued: "No, in addition to the Twin Islands, there are also Mingcheng, Zhenhai, Liangzhou, Gyeongju, etc., and now there are always contradictions between this foreign religion and the local religion. ”

"This is not only in the locality, but also in the army. Our own Han Taoism and Buddhism have never had problems, and the local sects and Catholics are incompatible. King Luo also talked about it at this moment.

Luo Wang's speech, in fact, to a certain extent, helped Wu Peihang alleviate this embarrassing period, and also found a common problem, or a problem that Wu Peihang thought of now, to find a way to connect with the affairs of their military region.

Religious discord is a "muddy issue" that can be brought out, has a certain importance (it will not affect anything if it is in the sky), can also be dragged out (of course, small means have little effect), has a wide range of implications (everyone can intervene), and can reach a consensus but it is difficult to hurt the interests and power of the high-level.

On such an occasion, Wu Peihang was able to react to this problem for the first time, and it was not too difficult.

King Chu: "If this doesn't fix me, I'm willing to talk about it." The people of the local religion are all familial, after all, under the influence of our Han family, Twin Islands has been taking care of these people and giving them some preferential treatment. But the natives, I'm sorry Chairman Wu, I'm talking about a common problem, not discriminating against the natives. ”

Wu Peihang: "It's okay, the locals have some problems." ”

Wu Peihang, who is here this time, is a local. The concept of the natives is: when the Han family moved south, the indigenous people of the ocean continent and the twin islands.

The Han family had just stepped into this land, and the aborigines were mainly educated, but after all, there were differences in race, and slowly contradictions appeared. As the contradictions emerged, the natives split into two factions, one was actively integrated into the Han society, for example, Wu Peihang came up in a serious career; One faction is armed resistance, and His Majesty's southern expedition is to solve this part of the armed resistance.

With the success of His Majesty's southern expedition, in the past 20 years, the natives and the Han people have not made any waves, and the Han people and the natives have no distinction between you and me, but the contradictions between the natives and foreigners have become prominent!

The reason is that the Han family is unwilling to change the habits of the natives, but they feel that the habits of the natives are very interesting.

"That's fine, Chairman Wu is humble. A lot of the culture of the navy comes from the West, so some soldiers believe in Western religion, and if the natives and these Western religions are put together, it will be bad, there is no combat effectiveness, only internal friction. The natives and the Han family are put together, or put alone on a search ship, it will be very good. I don't know how the fourth brother's Luo Wang fleet is. After speaking, the King of Chu looked at King Luo.

King Luo nodded and said, "It's the same on our side, people who believe in Western sects can't get along with locals. ”

King Luo accosted a word, and King Chu continued with a smile: "At first, I didn't let people who believed in Western religion board the ship, but the old foreign nose didn't let me, so I had no choice but to separate the two groups of people. To be honest, I don't trust these people who have turned their backs on their ancestors. ”

After a pause, the king of Chu continued: "So when arranging the mission, people who believe in Western religion arrange to go to the coastal patrol fleet, and this is stationed in Tiya is a coastal patrol fleet that believes in foreign religions. The king of Chu also explained this matter earnestly.

"I'm about the same. The natives there are not of the same clan as Chairman Wu, they are very barbaric, and we have spent our hearts and efforts to solve them. Actually, I think that foreigners are stirring up our relationship with the locals. King Qi also added.

Mo Haige felt that it was almost time to end this "mud problem", so he asked the king of Chu: "Is the contradiction between the natives and the Westerners on your side very serious?" ”

As soon as the King of Chu heard Mo Haige's question, he changed his tone and said: "Twin Islands, Taifu, you know, natives, Han Chinese, Westerners, Han Taoism, Buddhism, Christianity, Catholicism, and the ten local minor religions, yin and yang are intertwined, cloudy and sunny. The trade of the twin islands is indeed good, and the better the trade, the greater these contradictions, and the conflict of interests is like a battlefield, the British East India Company, the German Colonial Company of Germany, the French Napoleonic Family Company, and the American Firestone Company, which are foreign. Our Hanjia Qilu Chamber of Commerce, Riverview Chamber of Commerce, Jin Chamber of Commerce, Hakka Chamber of Commerce, Huizhou Chamber of Commerce, Gusu Chamber of Commerce, and Guangdong Chamber of Commerce are all there. The native Kashima family, the Maori family, and the Takayama family are also strong. Sects are linked to interests, and they are derived, and I feel that they should be different from the problems on your mainland, to be honest, this is a problem that cannot be found in the 24th history, and it is complicated and ruthless. ”

I don't know if anyone present listened to what the King of Chu said. Mohag grabbed the substantive question and asked, "Has the Coast Guard been replaced?" ”

King Chu: "Before I came, I had already removed the coastal patrol team of the embankment. ”

Mo Haige saw that the atmosphere had eased a lot, and was just about to mention the four princes handling foreign affairs on behalf of the royal family, when he turned his head and saw that King Hua seemed to want to say something, so he asked, "Your Royal Highness King Hua, what do you say?" ”

King Hua took this moment before he was about to speak. Before he could do so, the door was pushed open. Coming into the house is a permanent attendant, a little older, a bearing is no less than any one in the house, looking at the appearance of people feel that it is not other permanent attendants, but a sense of closeness, walking is a very cautious small step, this is His Majesty's personal attendant - Shu Yu.

Shu Chang came in, nodded his head with a few people, and said: "Several princes have worked hard, this morning's deliberations have come to an end for the time being, and Your Majesty has a message." ”

The four princes saluted when they were ordered, and listened to Shu Chang's words: "This edict is a metaphor for Your Majesty after seeing the greetings of the four princes." After saying this, he said: "Lord, I am very pleased, and I have not seen you for a long time when you enter Beijing, and I miss it very much." Taifu said that this year, the celebration ceremony of the Imperial State, and the 20th anniversary of my accession to the throne, there are many internal and external affairs activities, and I intend to let you wait for me to receive foreign guests and foreign affairs etiquette, and Wanger and others obey the cabinet arrangement. The inner court has been dispatched, and you will stay in the left garden, and return home after the ceremony. ”

After the four kings saluted and received the order, several people knew that His Majesty knew this and came out of the round. Originally, he wanted the trial committee to come to the town to explain to the four princes about "acting as an agent for foreign affairs", but he didn't expect that before King Hua, the trial committee and the four princes were stiff.

In order to express his appeasement, Shu Chang said one more sentence: "Ladies and gentlemen, Your Majesty instructs that the weather is changeable now, please tell the palace to add some change of clothes, and the rest is responsible for the palace, and the meals used by the princes are also fully responsible for the imperial dining room." ”

Everyone knows the last sentence, but it is just a reassuring word, and none of the four princes took it seriously, and said goodbye and left.

said that it was "acting for foreign affairs", but the four of them did not know what it meant by "semi-house arrest".

Several ministers, seeing that Shu Changshou didn't leave, knew that they still had something to say, so they waited until a small Changshou came, and replied, "The four princes have already left the cabinet and are heading towards Zuo Zhengyuan." Shu Chang asked King Hua and Mo Haige: "Your Highness, Taifu, Your Majesty has a new message, move to the main hall of Shuo, and hold a political meeting." ”

King Hua nodded, then got up and left, while Wu Peihang got up and helped Mo Haige.

Just when he arrived at the door, Shu Changzhi said: "Vice Premier Hua Tianxiong, you wait for a while." And the will comes to you. ”

Hua Tianxiong got up and answered, "Yes." ”

When the room was empty, Hua Tianxiong's boring hands were clenched, placed between the umbilicus, and turned his fingers at will, with a blank face.
