Yoo Noda interjected at the right time and said: "Lord Wang, I have warned Yoshida Shoin several times to let him become an official and be a down-to-earth official for the country and the people, but unfortunately Yoshida Shoin is not here, and has been delusional about learning the things of foreigners, but has forgotten the law and discipline of his ancestors. The prince has learned from China and the West, his wisdom is like the sea, and he has the experience of enriching the country and strengthening the army. I hope that the prince can teach Yoshida Shoin, so that he can repent and benefit the country. ”

Li Zhen smiled slightly and said, "Yoo Noda, your words are boundless." I asked Yoshida Shoin to be down-to-earth, not because I didn't want him to learn from foreigners, but because I had other intentions. ”

Yoo Noda's face suddenly turned purple, and he was extremely embarrassed.

An Ren opened his mouth and said: "Lord Wang, the old man has prepared a place to live, please go to the residence and settle down." Seeing that the people on his side were hit, An Ren immediately changed the topic.

"Good!"

Li Zhen didn't chase after him, and nodded in agreement.

His eyes looked at Emperor Xiaomei, and said solemnly: "Your Excellency Tongren, let Yoshida Shoin and the others follow, and the next arrangements will also have something to do with them." The people of the shogunate and the reform family had to be together in order to solve the obstacles to Japan's development. ”

Emperor Xiaomei nodded, and reluctantly let Yoshida Shoin and others accompany him.

A group of people, watching the cheering people along the street, came to their lodgings.

This residence is one of the most prosperous areas on Nagasaki Island. In order to make Li Zhen stay comfortably, Anren worked hard to finalize the resting point of Li Zhen and his party. Li Zhen was followed by Zhao Liewen, Yang Luchan and Dong Haichuan, as well as some of the soldiers responsible for protecting Li Zhen, Zeng Guofan, Zuo Zongtang, Li Hongzhang and others all stayed on the battleship as Li Zhen's back force.

As long as Zeng Guofan and others are deterred at sea, Li Zhen can stay in Nagasaki with peace of mind.

Upon entering the residence, Li Zhen's guards immediately inspected the residence. After confirming that there was no danger, all the soldiers were in position to guard the important position of the residence and protect Li Zhen's safety.

In the lobby, it is a typical Japanese setting.

There is no bench, only kneeling.

Emperor Xiaoming sat on his knees, his hands on his knees. Yasuhito, Yoo Noda and others knelt on the left, and Yoshida Shoin, Takasugi Shinsaku and others knelt on the right, all kneeling neatly. However, when everyone sat down, their eyes fell on Li Zhen, with a deep incomprehension in their eyes, because Li Zhen stood and did not kneel.

Emperor Xiaomei asked, "King Zhennan, is there something wrong?" ”

Li Zhen pointed to the cushion on the ground and said, "I'm not used to kneeling and sitting, bring a stool, I'll sit and talk!" ”

An Ren snorted in his heart, and interjected: "Lord Wang, there is no stool here. ”

He was quite critical of Li Zhen's posture, you Li Zhen is very awesome, but when you go to Japan, you naturally have to follow the customs of the locals and sit on your knees like all people. In particular, the emperor, as the lord of Japan, only sat in the first place on the left side, but Li Zhen sat in the first place in the center of the hall, and he was already the emperor deigned. If Li Zhen is allowed to sit on the bench again, it will be even more unreasonable.

Li Zhen said: "Since there is no stool, I will sit down and say!" ”

With that, Li Zhen sat cross-legged.

This scene fell in everyone's eyes, making the Japanese present very uncomfortable. Not only Yasuhito and Yoshita Yoo, but also Yoshida Shoin. Yoshida Shoin is middle-aged, but he still has a warm blood, even a patriotic stunned youth. Seeing that Li Zhen did not respect the emperor at all, he immediately said dissatisfiedly: "King Zhennan, there is a saying in China called "follow the customs of the country." Is your visit to Japan so casual? The prince of a big country, don't you have any heart at all? ”

A speech made the atmosphere in the field change.

Yoo Noda looked stunned, he didn't expect Yoshida Shoin's courage to be so great. An Ren also secretly scolded Yoshida Shoin for being a fool, why bother with these at this time? It is enough to take out the strategy of strengthening the army in Li Zhen's chest.

Emperor Komei had surprise in his eyes, but he was very satisfied with Yoshida Shoin's words, because it showed the spirit of a nation. Takasugi Shinsaku's eyes also fell on Li Zhen, and he admired Yoshida Shoin in his heart.

Such a person is worthy of being his teacher!

Li Zhen said unhurriedly: "I kneel to my parents, and the rest never kneel." In the army, I also forbade all soldiers to kneel, and there was no habit of kneeling. You see kneeling as a courtesy, but I don't agree with that. The Tao is not the same, what you approve, I don't approve, so sit cross-legged. As for following the local customs, it has nothing to do with this. ”

Li Zhen's words showed his strength.

Only others do things according to his ideas, and it is by no means that he does things according to other people's rules.

When Yoshida Shoin heard this, he suddenly felt helpless.

This person is too strong!

An Ren took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart and said, "King Zhennan, what do you have in mind when you call all the people?" Could it be that the king of Zhennan wants to be a peacemaker and is ready to reconcile the contradictions between us and Yoshida Shoin and others? ”

An Ren deserved to be an old guy, and seeing that the scene became embarrassing, he immediately changed the topic again Li Zhen said: "Part right, part wrong." I am prepared to reconcile contradictions, but not to be a peacemaker. ”

Emperor Xiaoming hurriedly asked, "What is the trick of King Zhennan?" "For the talents of the Fallen Curtain School, Emperor Xiaomei is also quite appreciative. If he can reconcile the contradictions between the two sides, and then take all the talents of the Fallen Curtain Sect for his own use, Emperor Xiaomei is very happy.

Li Zhen said: "On the way to Japan on a warship, the king has always considered the current situation in Japan. At present, among the supporters of the shogunate, His Excellency Tongren is the strongest supporter of the shogunate, and hopes that the shogunate will prosper in Japan. In addition, the reformers also hope that Japan will reform and create another strong Japan, a strong country. ”

When Li Zhen said this, An Ren, Yoshida Shoyin and others all nodded again and again.

These words were recognized by both parties.

Li Zhen continued, "The self-improvement of the shogunate represents tradition, while the reform of Yoshida Shoin and others represents innovation, and the two sides are not people in the same boat, but two lines that cannot be touched. I believe that the solution can only be achieved if the two sides face to face. Otherwise, in the long run, the reformers will inevitably accumulate strength and then launch forces to fight the shogunate. Similarly, the shogunate may not be accustomed to the growing scale of the reformers, and will send troops to suppress it. ”

After Yoshida Shoin heard this, he looked at Li Zhen's in horror, he really wanted to accumulate strength to overthrow the shogunate.

An Ren was also extremely surprised and agreed with Li Zhen's statement.

Li Zhen smiled slightly and continued: "In order to avoid these two situations, only by putting things on the table, speaking with their own strength, and proving that their respective views are correct, can we eliminate the war, strangle the infighting that is about to be staged in the cradle, and realize the unity of the whole country and do things with one mind." ”

Emperor Xiaoming seemed to understand when he heard this, and said, "King Zhennan, please continue!" He didn't understand what Li Zhen meant, but he knew that Li Zhen was in control of the situation.

Yoshida Shoin said urgently: "Please let the king of Zhennan give me advice!" ”

An Ren stroked his beard, and his eyes stayed on Li Zhen's body, looking forward to Li Zhen's next words.
