Imperial Palace, Tokyo, Japan. Originally, the Imperial Palace of Japan was small in size, but it was very elegant. However, in the war between China and Japan, the squadron occupied the Japanese Imperial Palace, looted a lot of the wealth accumulated by the emperor, and the imperial palace was also destroyed a lot. Even after more than half a year, it has not been completely repaired. After all, the Japanese imperial family, which should now be called the royal family, has become poor, and the government has no money, so it is naturally not so active in repairing the palace, which makes the Japanese Japanese king Jiaren very dissatisfied.

"Haha! These damn Chinese people, they are killing in Nanyang, and now it's okay, their image in the international community has been completely smeared! After receiving the relevant news, the Japanese king Jiaren was very happy.

Japanese Prime Minister Saionji Konobu and Interior Minister Saigo Nomichi, who were kneeling in front of Kahito, frowned. Although they can understand Jiaren's feelings, if Jiaren's reaction is known by the Chinese, it will be a big trouble!

"Ahem! The Chinese are unlucky, which is certainly a good thing for the empire. But we can't get too flattering. If the Chinese are alerted, then we are more troubled! Prime Minister Xiyuan Temple reminded him.

"What's the matter, anyway, this is the palace, even if we say anything, the people of China won't know!" Jiaren's brow furrowed, and a hint of displeasure flashed across his face. He, the king of the Japanese, was not happy at all, not only was his name not as loud as the emperor, but his power was greatly reduced. When his father, Emperor Meiji, was in charge, the emperor still had supreme power, even though the power of the state was largely vested in the cabinet. But now, he's completely an ornament. The cabinet of Japan, not so much to follow his orders. It is better to look at the faces of the Chinese, which makes Jiaren very dissatisfied.

"Your Majesty, the partition wall has ears! Now the whole of Japan is under the control of the Chinese, and officials everywhere have also fallen to the Chinese. For the time being, we no longer have the strength to compete with the Chinese. So. What we need to do is continue to hold back. Wait for your chance. If the Chinese know that we are not subservient to them, there will be huge problems for the Empire! Interior Minister Saigo also reminded.

"Alright, I got it!" Japanese King Jiaren said impatiently.

"陛xià. We should now be glad that the Chinese did not treat us Japanese the same way they treated the natives of the South Seas. Otherwise, our situation is not much better than that of the natives of the South Seas. Therefore, any move that angers the Chinese. It's all stupid! Xiyuan Temple Gongwang said. If the Chinese can massacre the natives of Nanyang, they can treat the Japanese in this way. If it weren't for the poor conditions in Japan and the fact that there were too many Japanese, perhaps the Chinese would also use Japan as a place for immigration, and the Japanese would have been miserable.

"What? Your Excellency, how can you compare the noble Japanese with those lowly natives? "The Japanese Wa King was very dissatisfied.

It's just that everyone knows that in fact, in the eyes of the Chinese, the Japanese and those natives of the South Seas. It doesn't make a difference.

Later, the Japanese king Yoshihito proposed to let the cabinet contribute a sum of money to rest the palace. However, the public hope of Xiyuan Temple refused without hesitation. Now Japan is poor and white, and everything needs to be bought from China, and the money that has been earned with great difficulty needs to be spent on the cutting edge. Instead of wasting it. Although the palace was a little damaged, it was much better than the residence of these ministers.

The refusal of the public hope of Saionji. made the Japanese Japanese king Jiaren very faceless. If he hadn't known that he still had to rely on the public prestige of Xiyuan Temple in many places, maybe he would have scolded him a long time ago. The more Jia Ren thought about it, the more he felt that he was a wolf bèi as a king!

At this time, a waiter entered the main hall. Jia Ren immediately turned his anger on the waiter. Before he could ask the reason, Jiaren got up from the ground, kicked the waiter to the ground, and then scolded: "Who told you to be so ignorant of the rules, can you just break in here?" Then he started punching and kicking the waiter.

It wasn't until Xiyuan Temple Gongwang and Saigo couldn't stand it anymore that they stopped Jiaren's behavior, but they also had a deeper understanding of Jiaren's tyrannical behavior. If it weren't for the fact that Emperor Meiji had only one of his sons, Kahito, who had only reached adulthood, they would never have chosen him as the Japanese king.

"You come in, what's the matter?" Xiyuan Temple Gong looked at the waiter who was beaten and bruised and asked.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, Lieutenant General Xie Dingkun, commander of China's Second Army, has sent someone to inform you that he is going to see you soon!" The waiter said.

"Ahh I know! Xiyuan Temple Gongwang immediately glanced at Jiaren complainingly, summoned by the commander of the Chinese garrison, this is a big deal! was almost delayed by Jiaren.

"Your Majesty, Commander Xie summoned me, I have to rush to see him immediately. The minister retired first! After Xiyuan Temple Gongwang finished speaking, he left in a hurry without waiting for the reaction of the Japanese Japanese king Jiaren.

Looking at the back of the prince of Xiyuan Temple who left in a hurry, the Japanese king Jiaren, his face was gloomy as if he could drip water. You must know that if he wants to see the Xiyuan Temple Gongwang, he also has to see if the Xiyuan Temple Gongwang has time. But when the Chinese summoned him, Xiyuan Temple Gongwang ran away like a dog.

"Humph! I really don't know if Duke Saionji Gongwang is the prime minister of the Japanese Empire or the prime minister of the Shina people! After the Xiyuan Temple Gongwang left, Jiaren said coldly.

After Saigo Congdao heard Jiaren's words, he was shocked, but his face was expressionless. Jiaren was dissatisfied with the public prestige of Xiyuan Temple, and he had already seen it. It's just that the Xiyuan Temple Gongwang now has the support of the Chinese, and Jiaren does not dare to act rashly.

Seeing Saigo's expressionless face, Jiaren couldn't help but secretly scold him in his heart for being an old fox. However, he then said: "Saigo-kun, in fact, I have always thought that you are the best candidate for prime minister!" After saying that, Jiaren stared at Saigo Congdao to see if he would react. The title of prime minister has become the only bargaining chip he can get his hands on.

Sure enough, Saigo flashed a glint in Congdao's eyes, but then he retracted, and he knew that it was Jiaren who was provoking. In fact, Saigo Congdao was also very dissatisfied with the Xiyuan Temple Gongwang, but the Chinese supported the Xiyuan Temple Gongwang, and any opposition to the Xiyuan Temple Gongwang would not end well. Therefore, he is not a fool, and he will not give up his life for the sake of the name of a prime minister. So, Saigo said coldly: "Your Majesty, the Duke of Saionji is the only candidate for prime minister of Japan at present. Moreover, since becoming the prime minister, the Duke of Xiyuan Temple has also been doing very well! If the prime minister is changed rashly, I am afraid that it will cause turmoil in the empire. In addition, the Chinese will not agree either! ”

Jiaren's face suddenly became very ugly. The meaning of Saigo Congdao is very obvious, that is, to advise Jiaren not to do useless work, with the support of the Chinese, the status of Xiyuan Temple Gongwang is as stable as Mount Tai, and Saigo Congdao himself will not take this risk.

Next, Saigo took the initiative to retire from the road. He was afraid that Jiaren's impatient behavior would cause trouble, which would affect him.

The headquarters of the Second Army, in the Minato area of Tokyo. This was guarded by a brigade of troops, supported by naval warships anchored in Tokyo Bay, and the Japanese army had been disbanded, and even if the Japanese made any changes, they would not pose any threat to the headquarters of the second group. Several divisions of the Second Army, as well as units directly under the other group armies, were stationed in various key locations in Japan, thus forming a strong control over Japan.

After receiving a notice from Lieutenant General Xie Dingkun, commander of the Second Army, Japanese Prime Minister Saionji Gongwang immediately rushed to the headquarters of the Second Army. Within two kilometers of the circumference of the headquarters of the Second Army, there were no longer Japanese residents, and it had been completely turned into a barracks for the Second Army.

"Your Excellency, Commander, I wonder what Your Excellency summoned me for?" As soon as he saw Xie Dingkun, Xiyuan Temple Gongwang immediately asked. Fluent, so that the conversation between them does not need to be translated at all.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, I have come to you today because I have important matters to discuss with you, and this matter will be of great benefit to you Japan!" Lieutenant General Xie Dingkun said with a smile.

"Thank you, Commander!" The public hope of Xiyuan Temple immediately thanked him.

"Sue you, this matter is an order personally issued by the emperor of our country, if it is done well, it will have your benefits!" Xie Dingkun continued.

"Please rest assured, Your Excellency Commander, no matter what it is, as long as I can do it, I will do my best!" As soon as he heard that it was the Chinese emperor who had given an explanation, the prince of Xiyuan Temple was immediately full of enthusiasm. Now he has completely become a traitor. He also knew that without the support of the Chinese, his position as prime minister would not be possible. Moreover, I am afraid that not only is there no official action, but the safety of life cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, he needs to go to great lengths to curry favor with the Chinese.

"Excellent! Here's the thing. Our ** team was in the Nanyang region to exterminate the natives who attacked the people of the empire, but they were pointed at by the Western powers. Originally, with the strength of the empire, it didn't care about those Western powers. However, the empire and the Western powers had close economic power. Therefore, the empire needs to pay attention to its image in the international community. But the damned natives, who dare to attack the immigrants of the Empire, is unforgivable, and they must be punished. In the case that the Empire's army is inconvenient to use, you need to find someone to help! Lieutenant General Xie Dingkun, commander of the Second Army, said.
