Chapter 760: Arrogant Ambition

When the news of the marriage between the imperial family and the newly powerful Miyamoto shogunate broke, it immediately spread to all regions of Japan. From the analysis of this news, the current Emperor Komei trusts the Miyamoto shogunate very much, so that some people on the island of Japan who are about to move get the news have all died down, and they no longer dare to make any small moves, they all lie dormant and wait to see what happens.

This piece of news indirectly helped Yoshihiko Miyamoto take over the rights of various places and quickly gain a firm foothold.

This situation is not what Emperor Xiaomei wants to see. However, Emperor Xiaomei had a great plan, and seeing that the Miyamoto shogunate was profitable, he could only turn a blind eye and swallow the bitter fruit into his stomach.

Qing army barracks, Chinese army tent.

Li Zhen sat on the main seat of the conference table, and on the left and right sides sat Zuo Zongtang, Zeng Guofan, Li Hongzhang and others.

Zuo Zongtang took the lead and said: "Lord, Yoo Noda took the initiative to come to you, and sent the princess of the Japanese royal family to the prince as a concubine, the purpose is to please the prince, and to let the prince not interfere in the affairs of the royal family and the shogunate." Moreover, Yoo Noda made it clear that the imperial family wanted to depose Yoshihiko Miyamoto, which is something that everyone remembers clearly. ”

"To this day, the royal family marries a princess to the Miyamoto family, which is obviously inconsistent with words and deeds."

Zuo Zongtang's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said calmly: "In such a situation, I deduce that the royal family must be preparing to make a move against Miyamoto Yoshihiko, so I took the lead in stabilizing Miyamoto Yoshihiko by marriage, and then made a killing move." ”

Zeng Guofan nodded, and then continued: "The Japanese imperial family wants to deal with the Miyamoto shogunate, this is because Emperor Xiaomei wants to take back the rights that belong to the imperial family. Once Emperor Komei destroys the shogunate, we will become a stumbling block to the imperial family, and the Japanese imperial family may deal with us at that time. Moreover, Miyamoto Taijian was supported by the prince single-handedly, and he already had some power, if the royal family dealt with Miyamoto Taijian as well, wouldn't the prince waste his efforts. ”

Li Zhen agrees with Zuo Zongtang and Zeng Guofan's statements, and is also thinking about the pros and cons of this matter.

Li Hongzhang said: "In my opinion, neither the royal family nor the Miyamoto family are reliable. ”

Li Zhen said: "If Shaoquan has any ideas, you might as well say it, everyone listen." ”

Li Hongzhang straightened his chest and said loudly: "The Miyamoto family didn't really listen to the prince with the help of the prince's power, otherwise they wouldn't have invited the prince to attack the armies of Britain, France, the United States and other countries stationed in Japan. Similarly, Miyamoto Taiken is the same, and he is not a person who is determined to follow the prince. At the same time, I think the royal family is not willing to be lonely. The imperial family wants to take down the shogunate and regain power, but after the imperial family gains a foothold, it will not always follow the prince's ass. ”

After a slight pause, Li Hongzhang continued: "The best way is for the prince to play the role of a fisherman in this incident and make profits from it again. When necessary, some extraordinary measures can be taken. ”

Speaking of this, a chill flashed in Li Hongzhang's eyes.

Li Zhen was very satisfied with Li Hongzhang's words, and said: "Shaoquan, if you have an idea, I will leave it to you to deal with it with all your powers." ”

"Thank you, Lord Wang!"

Li Hongzhang's face showed joy and he was eager to try.

At this time, Zhao Liewen walked in and said, "Lord Wang, Miyamoto Taijian has already delivered money and food. He urged the prince to send troops to Nagasaki and other places to expel the armies of various countries. ”

Li Zhen said: "Miyamoto Yoshihiko can't wait! ”

Zhao Liewen smiled bitterly: "The food has been delivered, and the money has also been delivered, what is the prince going to do?" ”

Li Zhen had a relaxed and casual expression, and said with a smile: "Send someone to send a message to the principals of various countries in Japan, and say that this king invited them to come to Kyoto Mansion to chat, drink tea, and talk!" ”

After saying this, Zhao Liewen couldn't laugh or cry.

What would the principals of Britain, France, and the United States think if they received the news? When Yoshihiko Miyamoto got Li Zhen just invited the principals of various countries to come for tea, what kind of expression would he have?

For a while, Zhao Liewen was apprehensive in his heart.

……

As the saying goes, there is no impermeable wall, and Li Zhen did not plan to cover up the matter of inviting the principals of Britain, France, the United States and other countries to Kyoto Prefecture for tea and chat, and the news came out quickly.

In the shogunate, Miyamoto Yoshihiko snorted angrily with an impatient expression.

Miyamoto Taijian was furious against the thunder and explained: "General, Li Zhen's invitation to the heads of various countries to gather in Kyoto Prefecture does not mean that he will not expel the foreigners, it is likely that he will salute first and then soldier. Knowing it first, moving it with reason, let the foreigners of various countries take the initiative to withdraw, if the armies of various countries do not cooperate, Li Zhencai will send troops. ”

Yoshihiko Miyamoto scolded: "Fool, have you forgotten our intentions? ”

Miyamoto Taiken lowered his head and stopped making a sound.

Of course, he understood Miyamoto Yoshihiko's intention, which was to let Li Zhen deal with the armies of various countries, provoke contradictions between Li Zhen and other countries, and further weaken Li Zhen. Seeing that this purpose could not be reached, Miyamoto Taijian changed his statement.

Miyamoto Yoshihiko said: "No, you can't let Li Zhen be as good as you like." ”

The tone is solemn, revealing a sense of coldness.

Miyamoto Taijian frowned, and said worriedly: "General, you must be calm, you must not mess around!" It's just that we put a trap on Li Zhen, after all, we didn't openly oppose Li Zhen. Once Li Zhen knows that you are against him, he will definitely be furious. If Li Zhen's army enters Kyoto Prefecture, it can't be stopped! ”

Yoshihiko Miyamoto said, "The idea that Ben will come up with will not be recognized. ”

Yoshihiko Miyamoto's mentality has changed.

Before ascending to the position of shogun, Miyamoto Yoshihiko really wanted to hug Li Zhen's thigh, and then be a shogun with peace of mind. After taking power, Miyamoto Yoshihiko tasted the benefits of power and was already unwilling to be subordinate. In particular, the royal family married him, which boosted Miyamoto Yoshihiko's pride and prompted Miyamoto Yoshihiko to want to get rid of Li Zhen and be unrestrained.

Miyamoto Taijian knew that Li Zhen was powerful, and persuaded him: "General, Li Zhen is not easy to mess with!" ”

Miyamoto Yoshihiko frowned and said, "Hugh wants to grow the morale of others and destroy his own prestige." Li Zhen is a human being, and this general is also a human being; Li Zhen has two eyes, a nose and a mouth, and Ben will also have two eyes, a nose and a mouth; Will Ben be worse than him? ”

"You're worse!"

Miyamoto Taijian said a sentence in his heart, but he said against his will: "The general is wise and martial, and his talent is no less than Li Zhen." ”

Yoshihiko Miyamoto said, "It's good that you understand. ”

Miyamoto Taijian said helplessly: "How does the general want to do it?" ”

Yoshihiko Miyamoto smiled and said unhurriedly: "In order to intensify the contradictions between Li Zhen and the armies of various countries, the easiest way is to create conflicts. My idea was to wait for the principals of Britain, France, the United States, and other countries to enter Kyoto, and then ask someone to assassinate them, and then blame Li Zhen to create a conflict. They are constantly fighting, and we hide behind the scenes, and we take advantage of the fishermen. ”

"Shhh Hiss!! ”

Miyamoto Taijian snorted coldly, his heart was cold, he also thought that it was possible to succeed in the plan. It's just that Miyamoto Taiken forgot one of the most important things. Once the news leaks, it will not only face Li Zhen's anger, but also the attacks of the armies of various countries. Miyamoto Taijian bent down and said respectfully: "The general's clever plan, I obeyed." ”

The corners of Miyamoto's mouth turned up slightly, and a proud expression appeared on his face.
