On the morning of the second day, Zhang Wei had breakfast at the Prime Minister's Palace, then chatted with everyone and prepared to attend the Emperor's banquet at the Imperial Palace at noon.

After breakfast, Xiyuan Temple Gongwang communicated with Ambassador Zhang Wenjin that his granddaughter was willing to marry Lieutenant General Wang Dajun and hoped that he could make reasonable arrangements.

Zhang Wenjin said happily: "Your Excellency the Prime Minister is polite, I will ask Your Majesty to personally grant the marriage, and the marriage will be handled in a beautiful way, and the prestige of the Prime Minister's Office must not be ruined." ”

"Haha, then there is Ambassador Lao Zhang!" Xiyuan Temple Gongwang is very satisfied with Zhang Wenjin's attitude, this is a political marriage, whether it is married to the emperor of the Xia Empire or married to the chief of staff of the Taiwan Provincial Military Region, it will ensure the prosperity of the Xiyuan Temple family for a hundred years.

In the morning, at 10 o'clock, Minister of the Interior Yuan Jing led the escort and convoy to the Prime Minister's Office to welcome Zhang Wei and others to the palace to attend a banquet.

The prime minister had already achieved his goal, so he did not go to the palace together, only Foreign Minister Takaaki Kato accompanied him.

After arriving at the Imperial Palace, before it was time for dinner, the Emperor, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Minister of the Interior, and many other Japanese princes accompanied them to enjoy the Japanese tea ceremony.

Watching Japanese women perform the tea ceremony in kimonos, Zhang Wei, who doesn't understand the tea ceremony, feels like a kind of enjoyment.

During this period, Foreign Minister Takaaki Kato asked Ambassador Zhang Wenjin whether the Xia Empire could reduce or reduce part of Japan's reparations, because Japan's economic pressure was too great, and the Japanese people's lives were miserable.

Zhang Wei didn't hear it and continued to enjoy the tea ceremony.

Ambassador Zhang Wenjin replied: "The treaty has been signed and cannot be changed casually, otherwise the fairness and impartiality of the treaty will be lost, and without the spirit of the contract, it will lead to social chaos and the gains outweigh the losses." ”

Ambassador Zhang's remarks disappointed the Japanese present.

Zhang Wenjin did not care about the thoughts of everyone present, and continued: "Yesterday, in the Prime Minister's Office, His Excellency the Prime Minister also mentioned a similar problem, that is, the people's livelihood is difficult, for this matter, each country has its own national conditions, Japan is giving priority to the development of the military, resulting in the people's livelihood is difficult, our Xia Empire is a balanced development, the economic level of development to what state, on the construction of what grade of military, relatively speaking, the pressure will be much less, and a virtuous circle has been formed, mutual promotion of development, so, Some things still have to be solved from the inside. ”

In the ears of the Japanese princes, Ambassador Zhang Wenjin's words meant that the Xia Empire deliberately asked Japan to reduce its military investment, especially naval construction, and indeed cost Japan a lot of money and resources.

At about 11 o'clock in the morning, the staff of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs sent an encrypted telegram, Foreign Minister Kato Takaaki's face became very ugly after seeing it, and soon, other princes and emperors knew what happened, it turned out that Yuan Shikai's rebel army occupied the territory north and south of the Yangtze River in the Qing Dynasty, and now only Shaanxi Province was not occupied, and the city of Beijing was tightly surrounded, and it was only a matter of time before the Qing Kingdom was destroyed.

Anyone knows that Yuan Shikai dared to revolt because of the Xia Empire's support behind him and gave him a lot of support, otherwise he would not dare to revolt, and he would not have occupied so much territory of the Great Qing Kingdom so quickly, and the Great Qing Dynasty would have been unjustly destroyed.

This made all the Japanese princes and emperors realize that if they went against the will of the Xia Empire, they could also overthrow the rule of the Japanese emperor at any time, the Xia Empire was too domineering, and similar things had to be guarded against.

At the same time, I am glad that the Japanese royal family can marry the Xia Empire, if Zhang Wei marries the princess of Japan, he will definitely look at Japan differently in the future, at least he will not do anything unfavorable to the Japanese royal family. Some people feel that this is an insult to Japan, because since ancient times, there has been no precedent for Japanese princesses to marry foreign people, and they either do not marry, or most of them marry male heirs of close branches, such as crown princes, or princes who may become emperors, and other kings; This time, the princess was chosen to marry the Xia Empire, which was the first time in Japanese history.

When eating at noon, Zhang Wei felt very unhappy, the Japanese did not consult Zhang Wei, it was all according to the Japanese habits, Zhang Wei did not like it at all; At the beginning, Zhang Wei also thought that he should drink the wine of the Qing Kingdom and eat the food cooked by the Chinese as he did in the Prime Minister's Office last night.

Especially Japanese sake, Zhang Wei is not used to drinking it at all.

During the banquet, the three princesses came out in turn to toast everyone, these three princesses are the three daughters of the Meiji Emperor who have not yet married, and they have a high status in Japan, and now they actually came out to toast the emperor of the Xia Empire, and accepted the selection, which made the emperor who was unwilling to marry even more resentful. 【】

The first princess to come out was the prince of the house, born in 1890, the same age as Zhang Wei, tall, with delicate facial features, thick and dark hair, coiled on the head, and the figure could not be seen through, all included in the wide kimono, what made Zhang Wei feel the most excited was their white and slender necks.

The second person to come out to toast was Prince Yunkonai, born in 1891, one year younger than Zhang Wei, taller, very thin, even wearing a kimono, you can feel his slender figure, but the butt is not small.

The third to appear is Prince Congzinei, born in 1896, only 12 years old, although they have tried their best to dress up in maturity, but they look like children, and they were directly eliminated by Zhang Wei.

After the toast, each princess also danced a Japanese folk dance to cheer up the banquet, chattering music, with the mechanical movements, Zhang Wei felt awkward how he looked, there was really no artistry and appreciation, I really don't know why those princes were fascinated by it.

But then again, the service level of the Japanese is still commendable, even if you are a princess, you are also very good at serving people, which also makes Zhang Wei understand why Japan's service industry is so developed, and it is very prosperous after a hundred years; The two princesses served Zhang Wei and drank a few glasses of sake, although the wine was not good, Zhang Wei's mood became very excited, if he returned to the empire in the future, occasionally let the two princesses personally serve him to drink and eat, it was also a good enjoyment, but it can't be like this every day, if it is like this every day, it will be greasy.

In fact, the three princesses fell in love with Zhang Wei just by looking at it, you know, in Japan, men are generally short, that is, princes, and many of them are not as tall as their princesses.

Seeing that Zhang Wei is so young, the same age as them, and that burly figure is more than 180, looking at it makes their little hearts flutter, this is the ideal husband.

Moreover, the territory of the Xia Empire is huge, and its military strength dominates the world, which is not comparable to a small Japan, which can only be regarded as a relatively ordinary province in the territory of the Xia Empire.

In short, they felt that marrying into the Xia Empire was a hundred times stronger than marrying those short princes in Japan.

After the dance, the three princesses stood in the middle of the venue, hoping to get Zhang Wei's evaluation.

Foreign Minister Takaaki Kato stood up and saluted Zhang Wei and said, "Your Majesty the Emperor Shenwu of the Xia Empire, do you have any thoughts on the three princesses of my Japanese country?" ”

Zhang Wei thought to himself, Nima, don't the Japanese know how to be subtle? How can you ask such a question in public? It's really uneducated, Bai has been learning with the Chinese for thousands of years, and the essence is that he hasn't learned at all, so won't he ask quietly afterwards?

Zhang Wei was very embarrassed and didn't know how to answer.

The three princesses were also worried, seeing Zhang Wei's expression from the corner of their eyes, could it be that he didn't take a fancy to anyone? There was a lot of loss in my heart. A few tears actually fell from the face of the youngest Prince Satoko.

Everyone else looked at Zhang Wei, if Zhang Wei didn't choose, then there would be no way for this play to continue.

Especially Emperor Meiji's heart is even more angry to the verge of exploding, my 3 excellent daughters, I didn't even fancy any of them, this is simply a slap in the face of Japan, a slap in the face of the Japanese royal family, is it tolerable or unbearable? When he saw his favorite little daughter, Prince Congkonai, crying quietly, his distressed heart was about to burst.

Zhang Wei also noticed that the atmosphere in the venue suddenly became serious, and after looking around, he felt that everyone was looking at him, and the faces of the Japanese were full of anger.

Zhang Wei knew that everyone had misunderstood him, and it was not good not to speak at this time, so he touched his nose awkwardly with his hand and said: "The three princes are very good, and I like them very much, so much so that I don't know how to choose." ”

Hearing Zhang Wei say this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, and the faces of the Japanese suddenly looked much better.

Everyone still didn't speak, Zhang Wei had no choice but to continue: "Except for the fact that Prince Congzi is slightly younger, the prince in the house and Prince Yunzi are too good, I don't have a good choice, I don't know what the two princes think, are they willing to marry into the Xia Empire?" ”

As soon as Zhang Wei's words were finished, the house and Yunzi almost said in unison: "I do!" The two men also looked at each other as if demonstratively.

Before everyone could react, Satoko said in her voice, which was still childlike, "I'm willing too, I'm going too, I'm not young anymore." As she spoke, she deliberately straightened her small breasts that had just begun to develop.

The situation on the ground changed so quickly that no one expected it to come to this.

Emperor Meiji's face turned blue with anger, it was really a big girl, and the girl was outward, it was really not a casual talk.

Foreign Minister Takaaki Kato did not expect such a thing, so he hurriedly consulted Ambassador Zhang Wenjin what to do.

Ambassador Zhang Wenjin said: "Since His Majesty the Emperor is not a good choice because the two inner princes are very good, and the two inner princes are willing to marry into the Xia Empire, my opinion is that they should marry both inner princes, so that they will have a companion in the Xia Empire." ”

When Congzi heard Zhang Wenjin say this, he immediately became anxious, "I'm going too, I like my brother-in-law too!" ”

Even the brother-in-law called out, which really surprised the people present.

Emperor Meiji waved his sleeves angrily and said, "I don't care, you can do whatever you want!" With that, he went back to the backyard.

Seeing such a scene, Zhang Wenjin added fuel to the fire and said: "Then the three princes will all go to the Xia Empire, I don't know what His Excellency Kato thinks?" ”

Now even Kato Takaaki is also difficult to ride a tiger, so he has to turn to Zhang Wei and ask, "Your Majesty the Emperor Shenwu, I don't know what you mean?" ”

"Since they are all willing to go to the Xia Empire, then go, the Xia Empire will not treat them badly." Zhang Wei made the final decision. (To be continued.) Mobile phone users, please browse and read, a better reading experience.
