When Oyama Iwa proposed that Emperor Meiji make a holy decision, Yamamoto Gonbei and others did not have any objections, and neither of them could convince the other side of the two factions, and in this case, only the Meiji Emperor's personal decision could end the dispute between the two sides.

Soon Oyama Iwa and Yamamoto Gonbei sent a written proposal for mediation to the Imperial Palace, hoping to obtain a judgment from Emperor Meiji.

In the Imperial Palace of Emperor Meiji, Tokudaiji Temple, who was the minister and chief of his chamberlain, received this written proposal and immediately sent it to Emperor Meiji.

"Your Majesty, this is General Oyama Iwa and General Yamamoto Gonbei have put forward some suggestions for this mediation, and I hope Your Majesty can make a final decision."

Tokudaiji actually became an official in the imperial court at the age of 8, of course, the devil knows what he could do when he was eight years old, and then in the 19th century, after the great changes after the arrival of the black ships, he was active in the political arena as a minister of the Emperor and the Emperor.

The most important thing is that according to the pedigree, Tokudaiji is actually the sixth grandson of Emperor Higashiyama, barely a member of the imperial family, and his own brother is the current head of the political world, Saionji Gongwang.

Therefore, Tokudaiji is actually a person who is extremely trusted by the Meiji Emperor.

Emperor Meiji was also a little strange about the army's request for his own holy judgment, and he had just made a holy judgment not long ago, and decided to stop the war through the mediation of another country, and rescued Naofumi Tachimi.

Why is it that after only a few days, the army has to make a holy judgment on its own, could it be that there are some irreconcilable contradictions that need to be decided by themselves?

While thinking like this, Emperor Meiji picked up the paper that Tokudaiji had actually handed over and looked at it, and when he saw the contents, Emperor Meiji's brow furrowed.

Even Emperor Meiji saw the above and knew that it was really difficult to make a decision, on the one hand, he would give up most of his rights and interests in the Far East, and on the other hand, he might sacrifice the lives of the 50,000 Japanese troops of Naomun Tachimi.

After reading these Meiji Emperors, they all had a headache, why did the people below leave these extremely difficult decisions to their own decisions, and after thinking about it for a long time, Emperor Meiji didn't know how to decide.

So in the end, Emperor Meiji decided to find someone who could give some advice to help him decide, and after thinking for a while, Emperor Meiji saw the actual Tokudaiji Temple on the side, and I don't know why I thought of Saionji Gongwang.

Immediately, Emperor Meiji asked Tokudaiji to actually call the current cabinet minister, Saionji Kotoshi, to see what advice Saionji Kobe had on this.

After Emperor Meiji's edict was actually transmitted to the Saionji Gongwang in Tokudaiji Temple, the Saionji Gongwang was also a little confused, how could His Majesty let his eldest brother take him into the palace at this time?

Although there are many questions, Saionji Gongwang still went to the Imperial Palace with Tokudaiji Temple.

"Big brother, I don't know what happened when His Majesty summoned me into the palace this time?"

On the road, Xiyuan Temple Gongwang hoped to get some useful words from his eldest brother, but even Dedaiji didn't know why His Majesty summoned Xiyuan Temple Gongwang, only that it had something to do with the paper sent by Dashanyan and others.

"I don't know why His Majesty summoned you, but according to my guess, His Majesty has something to decide and needs some advice from you."

After hearing this, Gongwang of Xiyuan Temple suddenly relieved his heart, and originally thought that something bad was going to happen.

After coming to the residence of Emperor Meiji in the Imperial Palace, Emperor Meiji sent the paper in his hand to Tokudaiji Gongwang, and said.

"It's really hard to decide on the advice sent by the Army, so I want to take a look at your suggestion."

As soon as the Xiyuan Temple Gongwang heard this, he knew what was going on, it was nothing more than the suggestion made by Wang Bin, whether the empire should accept it.

As soon as I thought of this, the public hope of Xiyuan Temple suddenly had a big head, why did this problem run to his own place after playing for a long time.

But His Majesty the Emperor spoke, and he couldn't shirk it, so the Saionji Gongwang took advantage of the content on the paper to think about how he should speak.

"Your Majesty's suggestions sent by the army, and your subordinates can't make too many suggestions, so I can only talk about the good and bad of these two kinds in detail."

After Emperor Meiji heard the words of Saionji Gongwang, he immediately signaled Saionji Gongwang to express his opinion.

"Your Majesty's two suggestions, the first is the suggestion of the general Dashan Yan to accept the conditions of China, abandon South Manchuria and Korea, first rescue the general Lijian from the enemy's siege, wait for a few years of domestic economic recovery and military strength rise, and then re-plot the Far East to be humiliated.

In the opinion of his subordinates, this kind of suggestion of General Oyama Yan can immediately save General Takami and his soldiers, after all, we have agreed to their conditions, and under the attention of the other countries, there will be no backsliding, the only disadvantage is that for a period of time, our country will lose most of its interests in the Far East. ”

After Saionji Gongmaru said this, Emperor Meiji continued: "What about Yamamoto Gonbei's suggestion? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, in the eyes of your subordinates, Admiral Yamamoto's suggestion is a bit reckless, but there is also the possibility of success, and the possibility of not being successful is a complete gamble, and His Majesty does not dare to guess whether it is successful or not, and now the Russians are standing behind the Shina people.

It is not difficult to see that General Yamamoto Gonbei's proposal is based entirely on the abandonment of the lives of General Tsumi and the 50,000 soldiers who were besieged, especially after we declare war again, and the Russians may be able to join this war.

If the empire succeeds in taking Mukden, but sacrifices a large number of soldiers, the ministers do not know how the people will react.

But if it fails, the empire will not be able to turn over. ”

After listening to the words of Saionji Gongwang, Emperor Meiji immediately felt that it was difficult to do, and if he did not fight, the country would lose most of its benefits, but it was still possible to regain it, and it was only necessary to pay attention to the attitude of the people.

If you fight, you have to give up the 50,000 Japanese troops who are standing in Shangwen, and they may not win the battle, if they win everything, if they can't win, then the empire will not turn over.

Moreover, Emperor Meiji couldn't give up the lives of 50,000 soldiers, let alone how the people would react when they found out, and even the chances of winning were relatively small, and Emperor Meiji didn't like such a gamble.

After thinking about it, in the end, Emperor Meiji decided to accept Oyama Rock's suggestion to rescue Tachimi Naowen first, and then slowly plot for a few years to regain South Manchuria and Korea.

Rather than being too dangerous, Yamamoto would fall into the abyss if he was not careful, and Emperor Meiji decided to choose a safe way, even if it would cause the empire to suffer heavy losses for a while, but the empire would still be able to get it back after a few years.

It's better than Yamamoto Gonbei's eternal inability to turn over. (To be continued.) )
