At that time, in order to solve the crisis of the scholars, Saigo Takamori, one of the "Three Masters of the Restoration" in Japan, put forward the "Theory of Conquering Korea". As early as the Edo period, some Japanese scholars began to distort history, claiming that Korea had always been subservient to Japan, and therefore Japan could take it away. By the end of the Shogunate, there were proposals in Japan to send troops overseas to gain capital for confrontation with the great powers, and Korea was naturally the first target. Within the Japanese government, the "Korean Expeditionary faction" headed by Saigo Takamori and the "Internal Governance faction" led by Okubo Ritsu (who was also one of the "Three Heroes" of the Meiji Restoration) were formed. The difference was that the Saigo faction demanded that the envoys be sent immediately in order to obtain a pretext for war; Okubo believed that sending envoys meant that the war would start immediately, but Japan was still weak and the results of the Restoration had not yet been consolidated, so it was not the time to go to war. The Xixiang faction mainly focused on the current problem of the scholars, and wanted to use foreign wars to divert domestic contradictions; The Okubo faction, on the other hand, took a long-term view and sought gradual expansion to avoid interference from third countries.

In the sixth year of the Meiji era, the Emperor announced in an edict that he had adopted the opinion of the acting Imperial Minister, Iwakura Goshi, and overturned Saigo's conquest of Korea. On the same day, the "Five Senators of the Expedition to Korea" led by Saigo went to the field. The Meiji government's gradual abolition of the privileges of the gentry already aroused discontent among the gentry, and the foreign war was temporarily vetoed, and the way to expand overseas was also blocked, and the only way for the gentry to vent their dissatisfaction was to oppose the Meiji government. The descent of Saigo and the Guards officers gave the disgruntled scholars with spiritual leaders and actual combat commanders, and allowed the grassroots and high-level of the uneven soldiers to be combined.

At present, Japan can be said to be on the top of a volcano that is about to erupt.

"Does Ito-kun think that Mr. Nanzhou will follow Eto Shinpei's example in launching the 'Saga Rebellion'?" Saionji Gongwang asked.

"Even if Mr. Nanzhou has no objections, if the Kagoshima Shi clan rises up against the government like the Saga Shi clan and hijacks Mr. Nanzhou to start an incident, Tao An, do you think Mr. Nanzhou will stand on the side of the government or on the side of the Kagoshima Shi clan?" Hirobumi Ito asked.

"That is to say, it is only a matter of time before the Kagoshima clan rises up." Gongwang of Xiyuan Temple let out a heavy sigh: "Isn't there a way to stop it?" ”

Hirobumi Ito looked at Saionji Kobo and suddenly asked, "Taoan, do you want to go to Kagoshima with me?" To meet Mr. Nanzhou? ”

Listening to Ito Hirofumi's proposal, Saionji Gongwang was stunned at first, but he immediately understood, and nodded without hesitation: "It's all up to Ito-kun's arrangement." ”

Ito Hirobumi stood up and looked into the distance with deep eyes—the fishing fires on the sea were dotted, the lights around the harbor were bright, and the sea breeze carried the water vapor blowing on him, making him feel comfortable and relieved.

"The road ahead is difficult, Tao'an, but as long as we seize the opportunity, then maybe you and I can really see a Japan that ranks among the great powers of the five continents!" Hirobumi Ito looked into the distance and said in a deep voice.

Saionji Gongwang did not speak, walked a few steps, and looked into the distance side by side with Ito Hirobumi - the morning sun has been revealed in the east, and the bamboo trees and flowers in the garden have gradually shown their verdant colors, standing on the gradually clear grass, breathing the crisp air of the early morning dawn comfortably, which makes people feel particularly excited.

"Ahh Japan! My Japan! The public hope of Xiyuan Temple let out a warm cry in his heart.

Half a month later, Kagoshima, clan shrine.

It was a sunny day, and for ordinary people, it might just be just an ordinary day as usual, but for Chiho Kirino, this day was the key to her life and the starting point of a new life.

On this day, Chiho Kirino wore the traditional Japanese "white innocent" bridal kimono, and the once beautiful and lovely girl Chiho Kirino will grow into a gentle and quiet bride from this day on.

Chiho Kirino's wedding was scheduled to take place at the shrine, and it was a "Shinzen Wedding Ceremony" - the most solemn and Japanese wedding.

Since ancient times, Japanese society has been based on "reverence for gods and ancestors" as the basis of its religious culture, so in the eyes of the Japanese, marriage is not only a lifelong event for both men and women, but also a major event for the families of both men and women. Although the customs of marriage from Western countries were introduced to Japan after the Meiji Restoration, traditional Japanese weddings are still dominated by pre-god weddings, which are usually held at local shrines and must be reported to the gods and ancestral spirits beforehand or afterwards. On the day of the wedding, when the bride and groom leave their homes, they bow to the altar and ancestral spirits at home, which is an important step in traditional Japanese weddings.

The wedding began, and the bride walked slowly to the ceremony with the support of Saigo Takamori's wife, Iwayama.

When Lin Yiqing saw Chiho Kirino in a white kimono, although he was already familiar with her beauty, he was still breathing at this time.

Today, because it is her happiest day, she looks extraordinarily radiant.

Of course, it would be better if there was less white fat powder on her face......

He is familiar with history and knows that in traditional Japanese weddings, in addition to wearing long hair like Chinese brides (the Japanese custom is to tie it tightly with a turtle shell comb). The bride's face is painted white with powder, and she wears a white hijab and veil, and everything from her undergarment, kimono to coat is dressed in pure white. The reason why this is so means that the bride is "blank" from the mental to the body, and from then on a new family life begins. Because getting married in Japan is not only a unanimous decision of the newlyweds, but also coexists with both families, the color white has the meaning of starting from "blank".

Of course, the bride is more than just this wedding dress. At weddings, the bride usually has to change several outfits, and the custom is not simply to dress up the bride, but to symbolize that the bride has been reborn in a new family. At one time, the white dress was taken off and put on a gorgeous dress embroidered with auspicious patterns (such as cranes, flowers, etc.), and the colors were gold, silver, and red. Then she had to change into another set of dark, unmarried girls' kimonos, which would be the last time the bride would wear this style of kimono, as the end of her innocent girlhood.

To match the bride's wedding dress, the groom wears a long black kimono embroidered with his family coat of arms on the back, two chests, and two sleeves, as well as a plain cloth striped folded skirt, as well as a tunic with the same five family coats, a white fan, and white loafers.

The current Lin Yiqing is dressed like this.
