Zhang Wei's words made the Japanese princes present fall into an ice cave, they originally hoped that through the marriage with the Xia Empire, the Japanese imperial family would get out of trouble and regain their glory; After Zhang Wei chose a prince, they still had two chances to marry the Japanese emperor, but now Zhang Wei has married all the emperor's only three unmarried daughters, which simply cut off their hope of development in Japan. 【】
After receiving a satisfactory answer, the three princes left the banquet and returned to the harem.
Since the Japanese emperor had rudely evacuated the banquet, Zhang Wei felt that there was no need to stay there any longer, so he left with everyone.
The accompanying Prime Minister Hara respectfully sent them back to the Xia Empire's embassy in Japan.
After Yuan Jing left, Zhang Wenjin couldn't hold back at first, and said to everyone: "It's really enjoyable today, Your Majesty, your vision is really good, these 3 princesses are very beautiful, congratulations to Your Majesty." ”
Zhang Wei scolded: "Okay, I'm worried about how to explain this matter to the queen when I go back, I originally came to marry one back, but I didn't expect to take 3 back, if the queen is angry, I don't know how to end this matter well?" When the time comes, I will hand you over, and you will be saved again. ”
Zhang Wenjin knew that the queen was powerful, if it was handed over to the queen, there would definitely be no good fruit to eat, so he hurriedly chose to change the topic: "Your Majesty, I feel that the princes of Japan seem to have opinions on Your Majesty's choice of 3 princesses, will they make a demon moth?" ”
Governor Xiao Honglan nodded and said: "I have also noticed this problem, and this is an obvious thing, originally the Japanese princess was going to marry the major princes and become the princesses, but now all the unmarried daughters of the Japanese emperor have been married by His Majesty, which is equivalent to robbing their princess, do you think they can not be angry?" ”
Zhang Wenjin added: "Your Majesty, the daughter of the Japanese emperor is either single or can only marry other princes, this is the first time that a Japanese princess has married outside, and she will marry 3 daughters at a time, they will definitely be angry, and now I can't imagine how much trouble the palace has been." 【】”
Zhang Wei said angrily: "Okay, you don't have to gloat, send someone to inquire and see what special actions the Japanese royal family will have, it is best not to harm the interests of our Xia Empire, otherwise I don't mind if they are not abolished this time." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty!" After replying, Governor Xiao Honglan and Ambassador Zhang Wenjin withdrew to gather relevant information.
Zhang Wei thought to himself, even the Great Qing Kingdom can be destroyed, and even the United States has been beaten backwards for a hundred years, not to mention a small Japan, if they really have bad ideas or practices, they don't mind directly abolishing their emperor this time, let alone any princes and inner princes, if they don't clean up Japan's obedience, how can they obediently be an excellent soldier of the Xia Empire in the future?
In the afternoon, Xiao Honglan and Zhang Wenjin came back and reported to Zhang Wei, saying that the major princes of Japan were in tandem, hoping to instigate the emperor to boycott the Xia Empire together, and were ready to mobilize the masses to resist the Xia Empire, the reason was that the Xia Empire was too bullying and forced the three princes of Japan to marry one person, which was simply looking down on Japan and an insult to the Japanese royal family; He even instigated mass demonstrations to get the Xia Empire to withdraw its garrisons from Japan.
"What's your opinion?" Zhang Wei asked.
Governor Xiao Honglan said: "Your Majesty, if they don't release people at that time, let's just send troops into the palace to arrest them, there is no trouble." ”
Ambassador Zhang Wenjin said: "Your Majesty, we should wait patiently for a day, and after they find out, no matter what we do or how we do it, we will occupy morality, and it is better to wait and see now." ”
Zhang Wei felt that Zhang Wenjin's method was good, so he said: "You go to visit the Xiyuan Temple Gongwang and see what their opinions are, I think if they make trouble, they will take the opportunity to seize their handles and abolish the titles of the prince and the king of Japan, and in the future, Japan can only canonize the title of grand duke." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Zhang Wenjin replied and left.
Emperor Meiji now even has the heart to die, the behavior of the three inner princes is really humiliating, where will he put his face in the future?
and called the pawn Yuan Xiangzi to scold her, scolding her for teaching her daughters in no way, and the three women she taught lost the face of Japan.
Foreign Minister Takaaki Kato also reported the affairs in the palace to Prime Minister Saionji Gongwang at the first time, and the prime minister was glad in his heart, fortunately he did not attend the banquet in the palace, otherwise he would not know how to deal with it, and avoided a trouble.
Takaaki Kato continued: "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, I am worried that those imperial princes will be unhappy and take the opportunity to create an incident and cause dissatisfaction among the Emperor of the Xia Empire. ”
"Haha, Kato-kun, it's best for them to keep to themselves, didn't you listen to the Xia Empire last night? Isn't it obvious that there are too many princes and princes in Japan? The Xia Empire also has only 1 King of Qin, and we have dozens of princes and hundreds of princes in Japan, is this normal? Xiyuan Temple Gongwang asked.
"So how do we do that?" Takaaki Kato asked.
"Wait, there is something to live for the sins of heaven, but there is no life for the sins of oneself, this is their fate." said the Prime Minister.
From the heart of Saionji Gongwang, he supported the Xia Empire to attack the imperial family of Japan, weakened the influence of the imperial family, and his prime ministership was longer and more stable, and even with the support of the Xia Empire, he implemented a policy similar to that of the shogunate, so that the emperor was only a symbol of the country, and the power came from the prime minister.
After Zhang Wenjin reported on the attitude of the Japanese Prime Minister, Zhang Wei felt that he was an old fox, too cunning, and wanted to use the Xia Empire to consolidate his power, but as long as he could faithfully serve the Xia Empire, he didn't mind raising him for a while.
On December 1, Zhang Wei held a grand wedding for Wang Dajun and Mieko at the embassy of the Xia Empire, and the ambassadors and consuls of various countries in Japan basically arrived to bless Wang Dajun and Mieko.
This move made the suppressed Japanese imperial family indignant, and began to spread everywhere the oppression, exploitation, and humiliation of the Xia Empire against Japan, and all the disasters in Japan were caused by the Xia Empire, and at the same time turned Xionji Gongwang and others into the ranks of "Japanese traitors", who betrayed the interests of Japan and called on people to overthrow the current cabinet and organize the imperial cabinet; And called for the elders to come forward and reorganize Japanese politics.
Major Japanese newspapers have successively published the news that the Xia Empire asked Japan to marry three princes at one time, but all of them distorted the facts.
People who do not know the truth are blinded by hatred, and some people who do not have a satisfactory life begin to rob, kill, prevent fire, and create chaos in society.
However, Masayoshi Matsukata, Shin Inoue, Oyama Iwa, Katsura Taro and other veterans chose to think behind closed doors and did not make any remarks.
Under the instruction of Zhang Wenjin, the Xiyuan Temple Gongwang chose to stand with the Xia Empire, and the government army began to arrest the Japanese prince and the king on a large scale, and confiscated their homes and finances.
Major newspapers that published distorted information were shut down one after another, and those in charge were imprisoned.
A large number of those who caused unrest were captured, and those who dared to resist were directly killed, and the captured people were directly sold as slaves to Ezo Province of the Xia Empire, and they would be reformed by lifelong labor.
Emperor Meiji could only watch this, and he had no military power in his hands and was powerless to fight.
On December 10, all the princes except for the princes of Emperor Meiji were arrested, and a large amount of wealth was obtained by raiding their homes, and the state treasury was immediately replenished.
At this time, Zhang Wei decided to leave Japan and go to Lu, and I believe that the rest of the things will be done according to the instructions.
Although the Japanese hated the hegemony of the Xia Empire, under the suppression of force, no one dared to go out to oppose it.
At the end of December, the news of the collapse of the Qing Dynasty reached Japan, which made all the people rejoice, at least Japan was retained, otherwise Japan would no longer exist, which was the result of the Prime Minister's deliberations; At the same time, the patriarchs re-realized the hegemony of the Xia Empire, and announced that they would all withdraw from politics and no longer intervene in political affairs to avoid the disaster of death.
Emperor Meiji is now angry in his heart, marriage was first proposed by Japan, and the three daughters were willing to marry the Xia Emperor, so they could only break their teeth and swallow them in their stomachs.
On January 10, 1909, the three princes of Japan boarded the Xia Empire's family ship, the Xia-class battleship, in the eyes of everyone.
When nearly 100,000 people saw off the crowd at the port when they saw the mountain-like battleships on the sea and the thick black hole with their guns, they were extremely shocked; All the Japanese can't help but sigh, fortunately they are married to the Xia Empire now, otherwise, the Xia Empire wants to destroy Japan is like playing, the gap in military strength is too big, and it is not something that Japan can compete with at all; They may just move their mouths, and the Japanese state will perish, just like the fall of the Great Qing Kingdom, silently.
Subsequently, Vice Admiral Wang Dajun boarded the Xia-class battleship with Mieko and prepared to return to Taiwan Province with the fleet.
The Japanese high-ranking officials present scolded Xiyuan Temple Gongwang in their hearts for being a cunning fox who betrayed his granddaughter and hugged the thigh of the Xia Empire, but more people were envious and jealous.
After the fleet left Japan, Prime Minister Saionji began to follow the instructions of the Xia Empire and refer to the Xia Empire's "Title Law" to formulate the "Title Law" of Japan, and on January 20, 1909, forced the parliament to pass it.
The reason why they chose to marry the three inner princes was because they were afraid that it would affect their identities and cause the Xia Empire to be dissatisfied, so they still married according to the identity of the inner princes.
The titles of Prince of Japan, Prince Nai, King, and Queen were abolished, and later they were demoted to various generations until they became commoners; In the future, the Japanese aristocracy no longer received fiefs, but could only receive corresponding salaries, etc.
At the same time, the "Title Law" stipulates that the children of the prince and the princess can have the possibility of inheriting the position of the emperor, which removes the legal obstacle for Zhang Wei's future children to inherit the position of the emperor.
Zhang Wei was very satisfied with what happened in Japan in Lu State, especially the passage of the "Title Law", and he was very satisfied with the public hope of Xijiyuan, which was really an ideal and loyal dog.
