To everyone's surprise, in less than 10 days, France reached a strategic alliance with the Great Guangzhou, and the countries that had friendly exchanges with each other even sent foreign affairs personnel to each other and established ambassadorial-level consulates in their respective countries to facilitate consultation and communication between the two sides. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The French mission was gone, leaving some personnel behind. Yang Sanda left again and went to France to serve as the diplomatic ambassador of the Great Guang Dynasty and the head of the consulate in France. Their departure also took away a certain expectation of Yang Lin, laying the groundwork for the future means of conquest, and it was also the eyeliner of the Great Guangzhou Dynasty in Europe, always paying attention to the current development and dynamics of the West.

However, just two days after the French diplomatic mission left, a new problem arose, and Yang Lin did not have a chance to catch his breath.

On this day, Yang Lin was dealing with political affairs in Yuxiu Palace, and suddenly, a person walked in from the outside, wearing a military uniform, it was Qi Zhiyuan, the commander-in-chief of Thunder, who could enter the palace directly without any will, and he could meet the emperor without a eunuch.

Of course, Qi Zhiyuan is by no means the only one who has such privileges, but they will not use these privileges unless there is an emergency.

At this moment, he seemed to feel the person who came, and even more knew the identity of the person who came, Yang Lin said softly without raising his head: "Commander Qi, you sit down for a while, and when I finish dealing with this matter, we will talk again." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Obviously, this is not the first time Qi Zhiyuan has experienced this situation, he is very accustomed to it, he agreed, found a position, and did it, the two seemed to have some kind of tacit understanding, they didn't say anything more, and sat there quietly, the atmosphere was relaxed and natural, and there was less tension between monarchs and ministers.

In less than ten minutes, I saw Yang Lin close the document, put the brush aside, spread his hands on the table, and saw that Qi Zhiyuan had already looked at him solemnly, and then asked in a deep voice: "Commander Qi, what's going on?" What happened so that you couldn't even explain it clearly by telegram, and you had to go to Beiping City in person and report to me in person? ”

Straight to the point, Qi Zhiyuan sat more and more straight, Yang Lin's words just fell, almost without a little hesitation, and said: "Emperor Qiqi, the mother country of Imperial Concubine Shang, the Ryukyu Kingdom has a big incident, and their ministers have asked us for help." I hope that our Daihiro Dynasty can send troops to the Ryukyu Kingdom and help them drive out the Japanese. ”

Hearing this, Yang Lin was shocked, but he was not surprised, no matter what, one of his wives was the eldest princess of the Ryukyu Kingdom, the king's sister, and he Yang Lin more or less knew about the Ryukyu Kingdom.

During the Qing Dynasty, the Ryukyu Kingdom ostensibly paid tribute to the Manchus, paying tribute every two years. However, in fact, the Ryukyu Kingdom was secretly controlled by the Japanese, but they did not dare to speak out, and they were still afraid of the national prestige of the kingdom.

Therefore, Yang Lin was not surprised at all that something big happened in the Ryukyu Kingdom and there was any sudden change, but he felt that it was not the right time, and things were all together.

Yang Lin frowned slightly, then returned to normal, and asked, "Zhiyuan, how can you be sure that the person who came is from the Ryukyu Kingdom?" How can you be sure that what that person says is true? ”

"Emperor Qiqi, this person asking for help is our old acquaintance, you and I know each other, it is the head of the Ryukyu Kingdom mission who escorted the imperial concubine to Guangzhou Mansion last time, Lu Ziming." Qi Zhiyuan said very positively, although he answered the question correctly, he answered everything, which made Yang Lin believe.

In order to increase the persuasiveness of his judgment, it was not that the emperor did not believe in himself, Qi Zhiyuan further said: "Moreover, the last general did not only listen to Lu Ziming's words, but also tortured the merchants of the Ryukyu Kingdom who traveled to and from the Great Guang Dynasty, and their statements were the same, and they were not much different from what Lu Ziming said. ”

"Well, that's fine~" Yang Lin nodded calmly, his tone paused, and then said, "By the way, where is that Lu Ziming now?" I want to meet him and personally interrogate the affairs of the Ryukyu Kingdom, what is the situation in the Ryukyu Kingdom? ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, the last general will arrange this, and Lu Ziming is at my residence."

"Okay, you go and arrange it, I'll be waiting for you here."

Qi Zhiyuan came and went in a hurry, as if he did not appear in Yuxiu Palace. At the same time, looking at Qi Zhi's distant back, Yang Lin was thinking, "No matter what the situation of the Ryukyu Kingdom is?" What kind of mutation is there, just look at Shang Weier's face, this woman who gave birth to a child for herself, can't sit idly by and watch something big happen to his father's kingdom. ”

If there is no accident, there will be two wars at the end of the year, and at the same time the Korean Kingdom and the Ryukyu Kingdom will use troops, one land and one sea. Both the Korean Kingdom and the Ryukyu Kingdom were very small countries, but they were only the area of the slightly larger provinces of the Great Guang Dynasty, and they could not use the large number of troops of the Great Guangzhou Army, and each country would never exceed 100,000.

What's more, the two wars are both famous, with a certain amount of local public opinion support, and the operation should be smoother.

At night, in the harem, in a certain room, Yang Lin hugged Shang Wei'er, showing embarrassment, and finally said softly: "Wei'er, there is one thing, I have to tell you, I can't hide it from you." ”

Hearing this, Shang Wei'er felt the solemnity in her man's tone, and couldn't help but tilt her head slightly, looking at this generation of emperors, the supreme supreme person of the Great Guang Dynasty, and asked a little stupidly: "Husband, what's wrong?" What happened to make you look so ugly? ”

The word husband represents too much, which means that Yang Lin is intimate with his woman, and there has not been a qualitative change because of the change of status, and it is still the same as before.

Looking at Shang Weier's stupid appearance, everything is based on herself, even if she misses her mother country in every way, she has never asked for anything in front of her. For a while, Yang Lin thought a lot, that news was too huge, too impactful, once Shang Weier knew the news, she would be hit hard mentally, and whether she could withstand it in the end, Yang Lin was really uncertain, and he didn't know the bottom of his heart.

However, the affairs of the Ryukyu Kingdom are too important, it is Shang Weier's mother country, and the Shang family is not only a royal family, but also Shang Weier's closest relatives, and it is impossible for Yang Lin to hide her, especially about Shang Wen, the previous king of the Ryukyu Kingdom.

Yang Lin hesitated for a moment, and then said earnestly: "Wei'er, what I said next is very bad news, and it is also the last thing you want to see or want to see. So, before telling you, you must be calm and control yourself. ”

Suddenly, Shang Weier, who had a stupid expression, became a little pale, she was not a big-breasted woman, on the contrary, Shang Weier was very smart, exquisite, and in a trance, she thought a lot.

The husband said this, his face was so solemn, Shang Weier's thoughts turned a thousand times, and it involved her affairs, either in the Great Guang Dynasty or the Ryukyu Kingdom. Now that she is the imperial concubine of the Great Guangzhou Dynasty, what bad things can happen to her?

Then, the bad news can only come from the Ryukyu Kingdom, and the answer is already imminent, and Shang Weier's whole heart is about to stop beating, and she thinks of a very bad thing.

In any case, Shang Weier is a refugee princess, how could she not know the current situation in the Ryukyu Kingdom?

From beginning to end, Yang Lin was lying there quietly, observing the change in Shang Weier's expression, seeing that her face was ugly, getting whiter and whiter, silent, as if she was thinking about something, Yang Lin did not interrupt her thoughts, just waited quietly.

I don't know when, Shang Weier pretended to take a long breath of relaxation, and said softly: "Husband, is there something wrong with the Ryukyu Kingdom?" Could it be that something happened to my two elder brothers, and the male sons of the entire Shang clan no longer existed? ”

Seeing that Shang Weier's face was still pale, Yang Lin knew that his woman was not as relaxed as she appeared. However, Yang Lin was still surprised and surprised by these words, but he didn't expect Shang Weier to be even more pessimistic and even more optimistic about the situation in the Ryukyu Kingdom.

After thinking about it, Yang Lin had another understanding, judging from his woman's words, the domestic situation in the Ryukyu Kingdom was much more serious, and it was even worse than what Lu Ziming said.

These thoughts only lasted in Yang Lin's heart for a moment, and not long after Shang Wei'er's words fell, Yang Lin said in a deep voice: "Wei'er, things are not as bad as you think, the Ryukyu Kingdom is indeed controlled by Japan, and your eldest brother Shang Wen died violently for no reason." However, your eldest brother's son Shangcheng is still alive. Moreover, your younger brother, Prince Shang Haosang, still exists, and he has also become the regent of the Ryukyu Kingdom, assisting your nephew. ”

Hearing this, although there was a trace of sadness between Shang Weier's eyebrows, she still looked happy, and asked in disbelief: "Husband, are you telling the truth?" How can it be? Little Japan has long wanted to annex the Ryukyu Kingdom, since it has harmed my father and eldest brother, the two kings of the Ryukyu Kingdom, how can they let my younger brother and nephew go? and made one of them regent, and the other ascended to the throne of king......"

As she spoke, she seemed to have thought of something, Shang Wei'er's happy expression suddenly closed, her face was extremely pale, she looked at Yang Lin in a daze, and muttered: "Husband, is it~ Is it....?" ”

Yang Lin nodded, and then said softly: "Wei'er, you guessed right, the reason why the Japanese pushed the two-year-old Shang Cheng to the throne is to make a puppet king of the Ryukyu Kingdom. As for your younger brother, Prince Shang Haosang, it was because of his secret peace with the Japanese that he became the regent of the Ryukyu Kingdom, and he is actually a lackey of the Japanese. ”

There is nothing more devastating than this news, in a trance, Shang Weier would rather believe that the men of the Shang clan are dead, than see such a scum, or his own brother, take refuge in his father's enemy.

At this moment, as if she had lost her soul, Shang Weier seemed to have been drained of her best strength, and her body was softly spread on Yang Lin's body, unable to say a word.
