Chapter 117: The Emperor's Worries

"Then demote to the position of chief police officer and temporarily act as the chief of the army!" Emperor Meiji frowned and said, "If you trespass into my Imperial Garden without being summoned, I will punish you with a month's worth of money." ”

"Yes!" Okubo Ritsu bowed to the Emperor, and Kawaji Toshira, who was standing on the side, knew that things had reached this point and were irreparable, and bowed to the Emperor with tears in his eyes.

"This matter is entirely caused by you, and it has brought great trouble to me and the country, and you must do your best to eliminate the influence of profit!" The Emperor said in a deep voice, "I want you to publicly apologize to Saigo!" Do you understand? ”

"Yes!" Okubo Ritsu and Kawaji Toshira replied in unison.

"Two Aiqing, step aside! I hope you'll all get some rest! Restore due diligence! Emperor Meiji said.

Okubo Ritsu and Kawaji Toshira bowed again, then turned around and stepped back with the sergeants.

Emperor Meiji let out a heavy gasp as he watched Okubo's figure disappear. He waved his hand and motioned for the guards to stand aside.

"Ito-qing, you say, why didn't Okubo-qing resolutely oppose my decision this time?" After all the guards had left, Emperor Meiji turned to Hirobumi Ito, who had not spoken.

"Your Majesty, Okubo-kun should recognize the mistake he made." Hirobumi Ito sighed and said.

"I hope so." Emperor Meiji looked at the direction in which Okubo Ritsu and his party disappeared and whispered.

"Your Majesty thinks that it was really Saigo-kun who sent the head of the assassin to the door of Okubo-kun's house to demonstrate?" Hirobumi Ito asked.

"I think not?" Emperor Meiji asked, turning his head to look at Hirobumi Ito.

"The minister thinks that from asking for a guilty table to sending the head to Okubo-kun's house, it doesn't seem like Saigo-kun's style." Ito Hirofumi said, "Saigo-kun is a gentleman who is upright and upright, and he acts after Sima Wengong's example, and such a method does not seem to be used by Saigo-kun. ”

"I think it's not too much for Nanzhou Weng to do this." Emperor Meiji said, "There is no lack of precedent in history for sending the head of a killer to the enemy, and if I were to encounter the same thing, I am afraid that I would be like Nanzhou Weng." ”

Listening to Emperor Meiji's straightforward words, Ito Hirobumi's eyes flashed with surprise.

"Nanzhou Weng was forced to death by Okubo Qing this time, so he used such a method." Emperor Meiji stood up and said, "If it weren't for Okubo's persecution, he wouldn't have done this." It was this time that I asked Okubo to apologize to Nanzhou Weng,"

Emperor Meiji said, pacing on the grass, and Ito Hirobumi hurriedly followed the emperor's side.

"Ito-qing, I often think about how good it would be for Okubo and Nanzhou Weng to be close comrades-in-arms as they were back then!" Emperor Meiji sighed as he looked at the cherry blossoms in the garden.

Hearing the emperor's exclamation, Ito Hirobumi also sighed.

"That's what the minister wants, too." Hirobumi Ito said, "It's just that now, I'm afraid it's not possible." ”

"But as long as there is a glimmer of hope, I will work hard to do it. Ito Qing thought the same thing, and I was very pleased. The emperor turned to look at Ito Hirobumi and said, "Although I understand Okubo's painstaking efforts, the rise of the country cannot rely on such immoral means, otherwise even if it succeeds, it will be difficult to sustain it for a long time." ”

"Your Majesty is wise." Hirofumi Ito said respectfully.

"It seems inappropriate for Secretary Okubo to combine police and intelligence reconnaissance into one, and this time the incident has already shown." Emperor Meiji said, "I'm going to set them up separately, what does Ito-qing think?" ”

"Your Majesty's concerns are very right, and the ministers also have such considerations." Hirobumi Ito understood what Emperor Meiji meant, and couldn't help but be amazed at the speed of the emperor's growth, because he had been thinking about this idea for a long time, and the fact that the emperor was able to think of it with him proved that his thinking had matured day by day.

"Itoqing, have you ever thought that maybe it was the Qianguo man named Lin Yiqing who gave Nanzhou Weng such an idea to use his head to attack Okuboqing?" Emperor Meiji asked suddenly.

"It's very likely." Ito Hirofumi said, "Just now, the minister wanted to say, maybe this person named Lin Yiqing gave Nanzhou Weng this idea, and even Nanzhou Weng put this petition seal, it is likely to be his idea." ”

"Ito-qing, you have to find a way to organize people to monitor this person." Emperor Meiji said, "Although Kawajiqing is shrewd and capable, his eyes are always fixed on Nanzhou Weng, but he ignores this person. ”

"Yes!" Emperor Ito Hiroshi wanted him to take the opportunity to form a team for the future intelligence department, and immediately responded.

"Itoqing, for this Qianguo man named Lin Yiqing, you have to pay special attention, I always feel that he has the breath of Lin Yizhe on his body......" Emperor Meiji looked at the palace in the distance in the sun and whispered.

Hearing Emperor Meiji mention the name of Hayashi Yoshizhe, Ito Hirobumi's heart felt a palpitation inexplicably.

"Ahh Ahh Ahh ”

In the cabin in the woods, Lin Yiqing, who was busy with his work, sneezed three times in a row.

Hearing Lin Yiqing's sneeze like thunder, Mizuno Tsumito, Hidehiko Sato, and Yusaku Uehara, who were standing next to him, were all startled.

"Damn! Who's talking about me behind my back? Lin Yiqing sniffled, grinned, and muttered in Qian's Chinese.

When Chiho Kirino heard Lin Yiqing's words, she couldn't help but laugh.

These days, her Qianyu has entered the country day by day, and although she cannot speak as fluently as the Qianguo people, it is no longer a problem to understand the content.

"Lin Jun, why do you say that someone is saying bad things about you behind your back?" Chiho Kirino asked.

"According to Qianguo, as long as there are two sneezes, someone must be scolding you behind your back." Lin Yiqing replied with a smile.

"I think it may be Mr. Okubo who speaks ill of the teacher behind his back." Hidehiko Sato said with a smile.

"Yes! Mr. Okubo should have received the gift by now. Of course, Lin Yiqing didn't know that it was the Meiji Emperor who was talking about him behind his back, and he couldn't help but feel a little proud when he imagined Okubo Ritsu's expression when he received a large box of "Tokyo Lion" heads.

Being able to play such a trick on the famous Okubo Ritsu in Japanese history still gives him a sense of accomplishment.

"Teacher, can these masks really make people completely different from their original faces?" Yusaku Uehara asked, staring at the wooden boxes neatly placed in the sun.

"Of course. A moment is a moment to witness a miracle. Lin Yiqing gave him a mysterious smile, he walked to the window and looked at the sun in the sky.
