When I came to Seoul again more than ten years later, I felt suddenly separated from the world, with many buildings and Chinese signs, which were really no different from the prosperous cities of the Central Plains

The matchmaker escorted Lu Yueting back to the capital by land, while Ye Zhao and Sister Zhu Sisi arrived in Seoul on a cruise ship, and then returned by train from Seoul.

Although it is a secret patrol, Concubine Jin still personally went to the dock to greet her, now Concubine Jin has long been the queen of North Korea who listens to the government, has been immersed in the peak of power for many years, and has different manners, but when she saw Ye Zhao, she bowed down and called her father, so that Ye Zhao was helpless, Ye Zhao had heard that in the third day, Concubine Jin was no longer comparable to the past, and repeatedly got rid of political enemies, and the obscene power shocked the government and the opposition, faintly having the style of the former Queen Mother of the West.

Ye Zhao and his entourage stayed at the Nansan State Guesthouse, which was also the most luxurious villa-type hotel in Seoul, and usually only received officials and businessmen from the suzerain, and occasionally visitors from other countries in the Southeast Alliance countries.

After Anton Kim came to power, the policy of the DPRK gradually became more conservative, and the style of valuing agriculture over business did not change in the slightest, and some industries that gradually emerged in the early days of the New Deal, such as the newspaper industry, also entered a dead end; under strict control, only three of the more than 20 newspapers in Seoul are still surviving, and two of them are run by the government, and those large enterprises and large mines are all controlled by the emerging bureaucratic capital, and the people's living standards have improved compared with the past, but nothing more.

Communications, electricity, and other technologies originating from the suzerainty have become tools for bureaucrats to imprison the minds of the people more strictly, of course. It is different from the previous days of closing the country to the outside world. Today's North Korea, Ye Zhao feels that it is more like a bureaucratic capital plus royal power military dictatorship that carries out the rule of the people, and at the same time, under the protection of the suzerain, it will not be threatened and interfered by foreign powers, a deformed development that has never appeared in history, and I don't know what kind of political model it will eventually become.

Concubine Kim, who was invincible in the power struggle, apparently also thought that the current country was more conducive to her rule, and that the reformists who followed her had been dismissed and exiled by her, and there were almost no such people in the DPRK.

The Geumsan State Guesthouse is one of the few areas in Seoul that supplies electricity. At night, the lights flicker and the trees are lush and green, creating a beautiful picture.

Obviously, Concubine Jin cares about face. The street lamps of the State Guesthouse are dotted, and I don't know how much it costs to burn people's fat and ointment, but most of Seoul is pitch black, and even kerosene lamps can't be lit.

The No. 1 courtyard of the State Guesthouse covers an extremely wide area, with a three-storey oriental palace-style building, surrounded by pine and cypress, simple and quiet.

In the splendid reception room, there are only Ye Zhao and Concubine Jin, and Concubine Jin is beautiful in red skirts, flesh-colored stockings, and golden high heels, and she is very well maintained. is like a beauty in her thirties, judging from her clothes, she is obviously open-minded, perhaps politically conservative, more out of the need to rule.

"How is Muren doing?" Ye Zhao looked at this Republic of China version of the Queen Mother of the West, to be honest, Concubine Jin gave him this feeling, as if in the Republic of China era, there was a dictatorial mother of the country, and it was like the queen of the West in modern society. Sudden restoration of military dictatorship.

Three years ago, Muren and other former members of the Japanese imperial family were sent to North Korea, and Ye Zhao returned from Seoul this time, just because he suddenly remembered this incident and came to find out. In addition, North Korea has turned back the clock on history and is shrouded in a reign of white terror. However, in recent years, the Korean New Army has been trained by Chinese instructors, and it is also the most powerful armed force in the southeastern countries, and in the event of war, the Korean New Army can at least be used to maintain the stability of East Asia, mainly Japan. ..., and even without the Kim Concubine, Korea has always been the Empire's staunchest ally, and the two countries have a closer relationship than the states of Southeast Asia.

"Father, Muren passed away three months ago." Concubine Jin sighed deeply.

Ye Zhao was stunned and stared at Concubine Jin, wanting to see if she was lying, but Concubine Jin and North Korea betrayed herself or betrayed the empire in the east without the slightest benefit, and it was even more unprofitable to hide Muren in secret, it should not be lying.

Concubine Jin said: "The son knows that the matter is very important, and he has always wanted to tell his father in person, but every time he sends a telegram to Beijing City, he always returns on behalf of others, saying that his father has no time to meet his son, and the son does not dare to tell others, so he can only wait for his father to tell everything in his spare time." ”

Ye Zhao nodded slightly, he heard the matchmaker say that in the past three months, Concubine Jin did send many telegrams to the capital, saying that she was going to the capital to meet the emperor, as if there was something very important, which was also one of the reasons why Ye Zhao came to Seoul.

"Death is death." Ye Zhao thought for a moment and said, "Bury it well." He is not ready to pursue it, maybe Concubine Jin thinks it is a favor for him, maybe Muren really died by accident, but when the former Japanese imperial family was sent to North Korea, it did have the meaning of driving the tiger and devouring the wolf, after all, the Japanese imperial family's exile in China is a major event, and it will be recorded in the history books in the future, and in the end they (she) are willing to live in Korea, what is the outcome, the empire will abandon the involvement, at least in the official history, it can be pushed off in a high-sounding manner, as for the wild history and legends, then don't pay attention.

"How have you been for the past few years?" Ye Zhao took a sip of tea lightly and bowed slightly.

"Everything is fine with the son, and the father has just returned from afar?" Concubine Jin asked cautiously, although she was commanding in the court, every time she faced Ye Zhao, she couldn't help but be half a cut shorter.

Ye Zhao smiled and said, "You are as smart as before, there have been some changes in Western Xinjiang, I think you also know." ”

Concubine Jin said: "If my father sends anything, my sons and millions of subjects in North Korea will definitely go to the soup and go to the national disaster together!" ”

Ye Zhao smiled: "It's not that serious, when it comes to your subjects, you always have to feed people, don't make a big deal of face projects, and do something for your subjects in a down-to-earth manner, in the future, you will not be sung in the annals of history, and this is also for the benefit of future generations." Ye Zhao never believed that it was right not to interfere in the internal affairs of other countries, and the empire's promotion of values to the outside world was even more precedent in interfering in political affairs.

"Yes, my daughter knows." Concubine Jin replied cautiously.

The two chatted for a while, and Concubine Jin got up to say goodbye, and said: "Father, rest assured, the maids in the No. 1 courtyard are carefully selected by the sons, although they don't know the identity of their father, they can all be trusted." ”

When Concubine Jin came out of the reception room, it happened that the Zhu Sisi sisters were returning from a walk, but when she saw Zhu Qiqi puffing up, Zhu Sisi was talking about her, "If it's dirty, it's dirty, what's the big deal, don't tell the master, lest people think that we are bullying people outside." Because of the Korean waitress, Zhu Sisi called Ye Zhao "master".

Concubine Jin listened to the end of the words, walked over and asked, "Two ladies, who bullied the two ladies?" After that, he stared at the waitresses in all cyan skirts.

Although the waitresses didn't know the identity of Concubine Jin, they also knew that this lady was in a high position, and they were all frightened to turn pale when they were glared at by her stern gaze, and one of the foremen stammered: "Yes, it's a guest from the No. 5 Courtyard, who stepped on Miss Zhu's pearl and made insulting remarks." ”

It turned out that when Zhu Sisi and Zhu Qiqi were walking, Zhu Qiqi suddenly found that the pearl necklace on her neck was missing, and when she looked back, she found a group of Nanyang merchants in front of the door of the fifth courtyard, which should be Brunei, one of them was holding Zhu Qiqi's necklace and admired, and the guards went to ask for the necklace, those dark-skinned Nanyang people had to say that the necklace was theirs, and the residents of the Southeast Asian islands have always loved to take advantage, and everyone in the southeast knows it. ..., Zhu Sisi's guards didn't care about this set, and forcibly snatched the necklace from their hands, and these Bruneians scolded, and Zhu Sisi stopped the guards who were about to make trouble, and disdained to have general knowledge with some natives; Second, when you are abroad, you can't make people feel that the imperial family is bullying.

And Zhu Qiqi saw that the bead chain was trampled on, not to mention that it was touched by a man other than her brother-in-law, it was obvious that she couldn't ask for it, and she didn't like it anymore, and she kept muttering until now, and she was taught a lesson by her sister.

Concubine Jin frowned slightly after listening to the waiter's words, and said to Zhu Sisi and Zhu Qiqi: "Yu'er is really damned, she should not be allowed to stay with other people, but she is afraid of alarming outsiders ......, the two ladies wait a minute." He glanced at the attendant and walked out of the living room.

Zhu Sisi wanted to dissuade him too late, shook his head, and came to the reception room along the west corridor, through the big glass door, but saw Ye Zhao leaning on the sofa smoking, not knowing what to think, Zhu Sisi didn't want to disturb him, so she had to turn around, in the living room, but saw Zhu Qiqi chatting with the waiter, Fang Cai's unhappiness seemed to be forgotten immediately, Zhu Sisi's helplessness, this sister, she didn't know what kind of monstrous disaster her words would bring to those Brunei, so long, but nothing else.

Zhu Qiqi was asking a sixteen or seventeen waiter about the customs and life of the North Koreans, let alone drinking Green Arrow soda.

The little waiter blushed and looked at the foreman's eyes, saw the foreman nodded slightly, and then took a sip of the straw, although they usually served in the state guesthouse, saw a variety of goods from China, in the Seoul society, they belong to the high-income special interest group, belong to the upper class, speaking of Chinese goods is the way, I don't know how many people envy, but these Chinese goods, they can only distribute some during the New Year, where do they consume?

"Is it good?" Zhu Qiqi said: "This is produced by my brother's factory. ”

She said that it comes naturally, just to say a very ordinary thing, after all, a soda factory is not a big deal, but these waiters were stunned, Green Arrow brand soda is a high-end goods in Dutch water, luxury goods, they will generally distribute a small box during the New Year, are reluctant to drink as a baby, when the family encounters problems to give gifts to officials, boxes of Green Arrow soda are often invincible, but I don't want to meet the owner of the production of them today, Miss Zhu's brother, must be the big chaebol of the East.

Zhu Sisi looked at her sister, she really had a headache, so she simply went upstairs.
