In the imperial study room of the Qianqing Palace, Ren Chao was reviewing the text, when a soldier wearing a lieutenant general's uniform strode in and saluted respectfully, "Weichen Lu Hongze see Your Majesty!" ”

"Hong Ze is here, sit down and talk!" Ren Chao put down the Wen Jiàn in his hand and said with a smile.

"Thank you!" Lu Hongze sighed, carefully found a chair and sat down, "Your Majesty, Weichen has sent someone to rescue the Burmese king Xipao, and he is currently on his way back to Myanmar by boat." ”

After the British conquered Burma, the Burmese king Xipao was driven by the British to Ratnagiri, a small city on the southwest coast of India, with his family on the British side. He first lived in the house of a British colonial official, but was later allowed to build the "Royal Palace", a sprawling brick and timber structure spanning 23 acres facing the Arabian Sea, with red brick facades and teak wood accents, and large Italian stained glass windows, known locally as the "Palace of Tin Robes" and the Burmese as the "Glass Palace", in response to the traditional name of the Burmese royal "Glass Palace".

After the Chinese Empire declared war on Britain and France, Ren Chao learned that the last king of Burma was still alive, so he sent the military intelligence department to organize the rescue of Xipao, preparing to re-establish the last king as the king of Myanmar after the recovery of Burma.

Ren Chao did not think of directly assigning these countries in Southeast Asia to the territory of China, but after discussion by the cabinet and the Congress, it was generally believed that if these small countries were directly annexed, it would not be of much benefit to China. Because at this time, the consciousness of national independence in these countries had awakened, and the people of these countries hated the Western colonizers to the core, and all kinds of struggles against the colonial statistics of the Western powers broke out one after another. If the Huaxia Empire directly annexed these small countries, it would inevitably transfer this hatred to Huaxia. And now China's enemies, Britain, France and other countries are still quite powerful, and Ren Chao naturally does not want the national independence movement of these countries to contain too many troops in China. And in the long run, to foster a pro-China government. Rebuilding the relationship between the clan and the vassal is the best choice for the current Huaxia. Although these vassal states enjoyed a high degree of political autonomy, China, as the suzerain, could enjoy a series of privileges in these countries, and naturally could also obtain benefits that other countries could not match. Imperialism seized the colonies for nothing more than to open up markets and plunder resources. The traditional suzerainty rule adopted by the Chinese Empire was actually another form of colonial rule. The industrial products of the Chinese Empire can be sold unhindered to these countries, and the resource exploitation of these countries. The Chinese Empire will also be their preferred target. That's why Ren Chao insisted on this traditional suzerain-vassal relationship, rather than directly annexing these countries.

"Hmmm! You have done a very good job in this matter, at present, hundreds of thousands of troops of our Chinese Empire are attacking Burma, and I believe that it will not be long before we can recover Burma, and then we can support this tin robe to ascend to the throne again to maintain our rule in Burma. Ren Chao nodded with satisfaction and said.

"Your Majesty, there is just one thing, Weichen wants to play to His Majesty. It's just that the physical condition of this tin robe is not very good, and Weichen is worried that this guy may not live long. Lu Hongze said honestly.

"It doesn't matter, if he dies, let his son inherit the throne!" Ren Chao said indifferently.

"But this tin robe has no sons, only four daughters." Lu Hongze said honestly.

"It's rubbish. I couldn't even give birth to a son. Ren Chao said with a frown.

"It is said that this tin robe also had a son, but he died shortly after birth, and so far there are only four daughters." Lu Hongze continued.

"How many wives does this tin robe have?" Ren Chao couldn't help but ask curiously.

"His Majesty, he has a total of three queens. Unlike China, their kings can have several queens at the same time. However, although he has three queens, he favors Su Bao Yaolai alone. Her sister and sister were both nominal queens, so Tin Pao now had only four daughters. Lu Hongze said with a smile.

"Her sister and sister? Do you mean that the three queens of this tin robe are three sisters? It seems that this tin robe can be enjoyed? actually married three sisters in a row, since he married three sisters, why only one person? It's funny. Ren Chao smiled and shook his head and said.

At this time, Lu Hongze's face became a little weird, "Qi Xuan Xià, these three people are indeed sisters, not only that, but the three of them are all half-sisters of Xipao. ”

"What do you say? Half-sister? Isn't this ~! Ren Chao couldn't help but say with wide eyes.

"Yes, Your Majesty, Xipao and his three queens are all children of the late king of Burma, King Min Dong, in fact, when Xipao married these three sisters, it was somewhat out of helplessness." Lu Hongze explained with a smile.

"Oh~! Although this Myanmar is a small barbarian country and has not been civilized, it is really unbelievable to marry his own sister, and what is even more ridiculous is that he married three more at once, so why did he marry his own sister? Ren Chao couldn't help but be interested at this time and asked with a smile.

Lu Hongze said with a wry smile, "This starts with King Mindong, who was in the late period of his reign, which can be described as quite miserable. In the face of British aggression, Burma lost both wars against the British, and most of the country's land area was lost. The internal reform also ended in failure, and several sons rebelled for the right to inherit the throne. Although the rebellion was quickly quelled, Min Dong fell into loneliness and depression from then on. He no longer trusted anyone, and was unwilling to re-appoint the heir, seeing that the country's foundation was declining, he simply locked himself in his room, ignored the government, and resigned himself to fate. The ministers of the imperial court, knowing that Min Dong would die soon, formed a coalition of factions to elect princes who they thought were suitable for the succession of the emperor. Tin Robe won out of dozens of brothers, thanks to the ambitious queen of King Mindong, Hsinbyumashin. She is very similar to the "Lafayette" Cixi of the late Qing Dynasty in a certain way, she has no son herself, but she hopes that after Mindong's death, she can "listen to politics". So she chose the cowardly tin robe and married her daughter, the half-sister of tin robe, to him as quickly as she could. Xinbe Mayin originally wanted to marry her eldest daughter to Xipao, but at the wedding, the second daughter, Supayalat, who was extremely strong, got married in the court, and took the initiative to take the initiative to throw herself into the arms of Xipao, and cooked raw rice that night, causing a fait accompli. However, Xinbe Mayin was not very confident about the second daughter's ability to hold the tin robe, and insisted on marrying the third daughter to the tin robe, and took great pains to engage in the "three insurances". Who knows, Su Bao Yaolai doesn't want to share her husband with her sister and sister, no one knows what kind of trick she used, in short, Su Bao Yaolai forced the tin robe not to get close to other women for the rest of her life, and focused on her alone. (To be continued......)
