Wish!

Sometimes, when people fall into despair, even if it is just a glimmer of hope, it will make people happy, and even many times, it is that seemingly small glimmer of hope that makes people persevere, at least for Muhito, while he is annoyed by the "ingratitude" of the "people", Ito Hirobumi's words give him hope and hope for the future.

As for the future stability, foreign support, and so on, Muhito is not as important in his mind as the emperor's "sacred status."

In fact, in his heart, there was a secret that no one knew - in the beginning, he had always pinned his hopes on the resistance of Japan, and he hoped that the resistance would become more and more intense, and only then, at the right time, would the Russians remember him, the emperor who held a sacred place in the hearts of the Japanese people, and for him, it was not the number of deaths of the Japanese people, nor the method by which the Russians would rule the colony, and how many taxes they would collect, he would not ask at all. All he cared about was that the Russians would take advantage of him, and even let the Russians occupy Japan "legally and reasonably" by appointing shoguns, as the shoguns did in history, and as for the rest, it would be enough for them to recognize him as emperor.

Of course, this inner secret, Muhito has never told outsiders, not even Ito in front of him, in fact, for Ito Hirobumi, he also sought a similar outcome, but the negotiations failed, for the Russian Empire, they needed more than just an actual occupation of Japan in the name of the shogun. Instead, the title of "Emperor of Japan" was fastened to the Tsar, who enjoyed many titles.

When Muren was immersed in that glimmer of hope for the future. In the kitchen. The chefs and helpers were busy preparing not only Russian but also delicate Japanese meals, where the chefs were busy wiping down the plates, wiping off the stains with towels and, occasionally, using a watering can similar to a perfume bottle. Spray some water on the plate to scrub it thoroughly, and the plates, wine glasses, and every cutlery are scrubbed clean for the evening banquet. After all, this banquet is the busiest time of the year, and perhaps the owner of the manor is no longer the former emperor, but the royal etiquette is still maintained.

At the birthday party, Muren, who was in a good mood, made an exception and drank a few more glasses of wine. It was sake from Japan, maybe when it was in Japan. As a symbol of civilization, members of the royal family, including Muhito, drank wine from France, but now, they drink Japanese sake.

Perhaps, this is the reason for homesickness, and when you are away from home, anything related to your hometown will always resonate with people. On this day, the princes and nobles who attended the banquet noticed that their majesty was in a good mood, and even talked about it rarely, what was going on?

No one knows, only Hirobumi Ito, what exactly happened. His Majesty's mood directly affected the mood of everyone, and almost everyone drank a few more glasses.

However, the banquet was only halfway through, and Ito Hirobumi felt a little dizzy, but he didn't care, he just thought that he had drunk a few more glasses of wine, maybe because he was too happy, so he was a little overwhelmed.

Typhoid!

After the birthday party, typhoid fever unexpectedly struck Ito, and before he could even leave the manor, he collapsed and had to stay in the manor temporarily.

"What, Your Majesty is also infected with typhoid fever!"

When he woke up from a high fever, Hirobumi Ito got the news.

Compared to Ito Hirobumi, Muhito's illness was undoubtedly more intense, and that night, he had a high fever, and the symptoms of typhoid fever manifested in his body, which undoubtedly further irritated his body for a diabetic who was not physically strong.

"Prince Di Gong is also infected with typhoid fever!"

Despite his dizziness, Ito was stunned by the news...... The prince of Di Gong is Hirohito, and he was also at the banquet last night.

His Majesty and the Crown Prince are both infected with typhoid fever, how can this be?

In fact, the three of them were not the only ones who were infected with typhoid fever, and almost half of the people who attended the banquet yesterday were infected with typhoid fever, but in the case of the emperor and the crown prince, the reaction to the illness was undoubtedly more serious.

On the morning of November 6, when Mutsu Munemitsu, who had left after the banquet yesterday, rushed to the manor again, Emperor Muhito, who had a high fever, was already in a trance and could not tell who he was. When Mutsu Munemitsu saw the emperor's situation, he could hardly believe his eyes, and he was even more sad. He did not expect that the emperor, who was just one night and had a cheerful conversation at the banquet yesterday, would fall ill so quickly, and as a career diplomat, although he has been lying dormant in the manor for the past few years, it does not mean that he has not paid attention to the international situation, and his attention to the international situation makes him very aware that Russia, which now seems to be a powerful country, has aroused the opposition of the whole world, and the fate of Japan is likely to change radically in the next few years.

But why did His Majesty the Emperor suddenly fall ill at this time, and so quickly? So much so that people have to think of the curse - in the past eight years, as many as a dozen royal family members have died in various accidents, is this the punishment of the gods for the royal family?

Muren had been in a semi-comatose until the evening of the same day, when Muren regained some of his senses, and the courtiers who had attended the banquet yesterday stood there in a disorder. Meiji leaned against a stack of down pillows, his hair looking a little messy......

"Is Mutsu here?"

"The minister is here!"

"I don't think I'm going to be able to do it anymore. Hirohito is also in danger......"

After Muren finished speaking, his whole body once again fell into a fainting due to high fever.

By the third day, the doctors sent by the Tsar had concluded that Duke Muhito and Hirohito were incurable, and after several days of high fever. Muren is on the verge of dying. Maybe it's a return to the past. He suddenly came to his senses. When Empress Ichijomiko saw that he was awake, she wiped the tears from her face, leaned in front of Muhito, and gently called "Your Majesty".

Muren recognized it for a long time before he recognized that it was Queen Miko Ichijo standing in front of him, and looking at her teary eyes, he couldn't help but burst into tears, and said softly.

"I hurt you!"

Muhito's words made Ichijomiko unable to hold back any longer. He turned around and began to cry. At this time, Ito, Mutsu and others, who were dragging their sick bodies, all had hot eyes, and tears flowed out of their eyes.

"Zhuqing, I'm going to die,"

When he was dying, Muren looked at the ministers as if he had regained his old dignity and said,

"Just do one thing for me!"

"Your Majesty, listen to it!"

Hirobumi Ito and the others hurriedly bowed deeply.

"Since Emperor Jimmu, it has been passed to me...... One hundred and twenty-second generation. I am ...... Last...... Huang ...... Ashamed...... Ancestors ......"

Muren said almost with the last of his strength.

“…… Wish...... Died...... Can be buried...... Japan ......"

Before Mujin could finish speaking, he took his last breath. Only those wide-open eyes were full of unwillingness, but there was a faint hint of despair......

The day is November 9, 1900.

Standing by the window, Tang Haoran stared out the window, looking at the snowflakes flying outside the window, he once again thought of the emperor who died in a foreign land, the emperor who was regarded by the Japanese as an occasional one in another time and space, and created an era, but in this time and space, he only ended up dying in a foreign land, and even his son, two days after his death, he also died of illness in a foreign land.

It's over!

With a long sigh in his heart, Tang Haoran knew that in the history of the world, there would be no more so-called "Meiji era". Including Japan has also become history, as for the imperial family of the eternal line...... It has also disappeared, and to some extent, the so-called "one line of eternity" has become extinct.

"Are you sure there are no legal heirs?"

Looking back, Tang Haoran looked at Li Muchen, he didn't care about how the Intelligence Bureau did all this, all he cared about was the result, and he didn't care about how the Intelligence Bureau used eight years to lay out all this. What really matters is that there are no legal heirs.

"There are only a few princesses left in the direct line, and there may be some people in the side line, but they have no inheritance rights!"

In fact, in the past eight years, through a series of actions, such as train crashes and food poisoning, the Intelligence Bureau has successfully carried out an extermination operation against the Japanese imperial family.

Of course, all this is secret and unknown, as in this case, people see that someone who brought typhoid fever into the banquet and infected the abdicated emperor and crown prince, and no one will ever notice the secret in the wine.

Secrets are just secrets!

Some secrets will disappear forever, even the executors, will disappear into history, and after a hundred years, even historians will have doubts about this period of history, they will not be able to find out the truth of history, and there is no written text to show that the intelligence bureau or the Northeast has a direct connection with it.

At most, they will only suspect the Russians! As for the question of why the so-called typhoid fever spread among the visitors that night, well, there can be no explanation for it, and everything will be attributed to nature, which is the "irresistible force of nature...... Even if it's all-in-one, it's not to blame!

"Do you think it is possible to stir up popular discontent against the Russians in Japan?"

This is what Tang Haoran is most concerned about, he believes that Li Muchen will deal with that secret well, and will not let the secret have any connection with himself and the Northeast, but for the Northeast, the turmoil in Japan is what he needs.

Just like the "March 1st Movement" caused by the sudden death of the last emperor of Korea in another time and space, unlike a few years ago when Japan was needed to stabilize itself, Tohoku now needs Japan to be plunged into turmoil, and only in this way can their forces be restrained, and the dark lines that have been laid in Japan for many years can play their role.

"Even if the Japanese don't act, our people will act, and sometimes ......"

After a slight pause, a smile appeared on Li Muchen's face, as if he was proud of the coming turmoil, and of course he was also proud of this near-perfect action. After years of hard work, the Intelligence Bureau has finally been established as a professional agency that can conduct "special operations".

"All people need is an excuse!"

Yes!

It's just an excuse, Japan needs an excuse to get into turmoil, even China needs an excuse to get involved, and the sudden death of Meiji's father and son is the best excuse, as for Japan, it's a pretext to incite a popular uprising.

"Well, we do need such an excuse!"

Nodding, Tang Haoran cast his gaze into the distance.

"Do you think, then, that it is possible that the Russians will agree to Muren's request?"

Before he died, Muhito wished that he would be buried in Japan, not in Russia, which was undoubtedly detrimental to Russian rule in Japan from the perspective of rule, but what would the Russians choose?

"If the Russians agree, then we will launch a campaign at their burial, and if they refuse, of course it would be better, and we can also use this opportunity to launch it!"

For the intelligence agency, whether or not Muhito and his son were buried in Japan had no effect, and the Russians' consent or refusal would lead to a large-scale uprising.

"Okay!"

Nodding, Tang Haoran spit out two words, looking at the snowflakes flying outside the window, he stopped talking, yes, what is the difference?

There is no point now, for China, the only effect of Muren's death is to create a pretext, as for sympathy...... Did that Muren ever sympathize with China?

It seems that he is a little sentimental.

With a cold smile, Tang Haoran turned around and looked at Li Muchen and turned the topic to another question.

"What we have to see is that among us, there are some people who are in favor of Japanese independence, especially some exiles, and we have to take into account the conflict between independence and Nawei Province after the extinction of the Japanese emperor, so I hope that in the future the Intelligence Agency will pay attention to this issue, if possible......"

"Teacher!"

Facing the teacher's instructions, Li Muchen lowered his head slightly and said with a serious expression.

"The students always wanted to remind the teacher that there were spies hiding in Russia within us, and I thought that after the outbreak of war, we should clean up the Russian spies in our internal ......" (To be continued. )
