At this time, the mood of the "Manchukuo" "emperor" Pu Yi was the worst.

Yesterday, he waited for a day on the orders of the Japanese, only to receive the news that the English baroness were too tired to attend the feast. This made Pu Yi lose his temper fiercely.

In the morning, they received orders from the Japanese that the barons and their husbands would meet the "Emperor of Manchukuo" at noon and stay in the palace for a banquet.

Pu Yi played a trick, but he refused to agree. As a result, Zhang Jinghui, the "Prime Minister of Manchukuo", was also alarmed, and he persuaded the palace road for more than an hour, which was both a threat and a temptation, and then he reluctantly made Pu Yi nod and agree.

However, this "emperor" is really as pitiful as he is

At about 10 o'clock in the morning, accompanied by Kenkichi Ueda, the commander of the Kwantung Army, Baron Andrew and his wife finally appeared.

can imagine Pu Yi's face, it is not so good-looking.

Especially when Baron Andrew just took off his hat and bent down slightly towards Pu Yi, Pu Yi's heart was full of anger.

If the Qing Kingdom was in its heyday, it would have to knock you out, but as soon as he saw Ueda Kenkichi looking at him, Pu Yi had to suppress the unhappiness in his heart again, this is the real parasitic fence

"Ah, Your Majesty the Emperor, the palace is not as big as I imagined." Wang Weiyi behaved very frivolously: "I heard my father say that the Forbidden City is very big, why is it so small here?" ”

"The Forbidden City is in Beijing, Mr. Baron." Zhang Jinghui was afraid that something unpleasant would happen. Hurriedly accompanied by a smile and said, "If the baron is interested, I will personally accompany you another day." ”

The simple "audience" ceremony ended hastily, and Pu Yi endured his unhappiness and said, "Mr. Tuksen." I've prepared some delicacies and I hope you'll dine here. ”

"Ah, it's my pleasure," Wang Weiyi said with a smile.

Whispering in front of the Japanese, without the majesty of the emperor in front of the British, now, the banquet is Pu Yi's only chance to save face.

Although it is not as luxurious as when it was in Beijing, it can be seen that it is for this banquet. Pu Yi really put a lot of thought into it.

The exquisite dishes came up one after another, and the Baroness Elina exclaimed, which made the corners of Pu Yi's mouth finally show a victor's smile

Elena was really exclaimed. She had never seen such a lavish banquet, such exquisite dishes. One after the other came up, dazzling

"What is this, Your Majesty the Emperor?" Elena asked, pointing to a new dish.

"This is a braised bear's paw in wine," Wang Fengchi said on the side, "This dish comes from Sichuan." I've been doing it since last night."

"Bear's paws? Bear's paw? Elena asked in surprise. After getting a positive answer. Elena looked a little regretful: "That was so cruel"

originally wanted to show off, but it turned out to be said to be "cruel" by the other party, and Pu Yi's originally somewhat recovered complexion sank again.

The "Empress" of "Manchukuo" on the side saw it and hurriedly said: "Baroness, this is a custom in various places, maybe you don't know it very well. In our country, only when a particularly valuable guest arrives, will such an expensive dish be brought out."

Elena let out an "oh". He didn't speak much to this one, and he had a smoky face on his face. The spirit doesn't seem to be very good, and the queen has some good feelings.

According to the ramblers, this "queen" was addicted to opium, and not long after entering the palace, she was abandoned by the "emperor". And tried to escape several times, but failed.

"Does the emperor have any other hobbies?" Wang Weiyi suddenly asked at this time.

Kenkichi Ueda smiled in his heart, and the baron finally couldn't help it

"Ah, I don't have any special hobbies." Pu Yi said lazily: "I like billiards, tennis, and badminton, but they all play average."

"Exercise that is good for the body." Wang Weiyi turned around and said, "Captain Aoki, can you bring me the gift I gave to His Majesty the Emperor?" ”

Toshio Aoki quickly brought the baron's gift to the "Emperor of Manchukuo" - a pair of tennis rackets.

Pu Yi lifted his spirits slightly, expressed his gratitude, and then gave a batch of gifts after the meal.

Although the "Great Qing Kingdom" is no longer there, Pu Yi's shot is still quite generous, and the value of the gift given to Wang Weiyi is enough for him to build a small tennis court.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, I have a small request" Wang Weiyi hesitated: "My father likes to collect all kinds of gems, and there are all over the world, but only one ruby is missing."

"Ah, Ruby, although the Aixin Jueluo family is not as beautiful as before, but the Ruby I still have it" Pu Yi didn't care about the authentic at all.

What does a small ruby deserve in these barbarian states?

"Your Majesty the Emperor, I think you have misunderstood, the gem I want is not an ordinary gemstone" Wang Weiyi said slowly: "I heard that in the era of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, there were overseas giants who offered a red gem, and many skilled craftsmen in the Qing Dynasty could not cut it apart."

"Ah, you're talking about Emperor Xiaocichun's 'Great Victory Stone'." Pu Yi quickly understood what the other party wanted: "It was the fifty-seventh year of Qianlong, the Gurkha people attacked Tibet, and my Emperor Xiaocichun commanded the whole army with the great general Fukangan, crossed the Himalayas and fought continuously, and defeated the Gurkha army Speaking of this Gurkha, I heard that there seems to be a Gurkha camp in your British army, right?" Back then, it was the defeat of my Emperor of the Great Qing Dynasty."

This is clearly a sarcasm of the baron, but to Wang Weiyi's ears, it has nothing to do with himself.

Pu Yi's talk was very exciting: "Tibet is peaceful, suitable for overseas giants to donate this gem, Emperor Xiaocichun was overjoyed, that is, ordered the craftsman to cut it, but tried his best but could not succeed, and Shen and Zhongtang said, saying that this matter can not be cut, that is the will of God, it is God to make the gem one, and the destruction is not complete. Therefore, Emperor Xiao Cichun named it after the 'Great Victory Stone', which has always been hidden in the palace, but it is red."

Hearing that there was such a gem, Wang Weiyi was in high spirits: "I wonder if His Majesty the Emperor of the Dao Dao can transfer this gem to me?" I'm willing to pay a very high price. ”

"No, it can't be." When Pu Yi heard this, he shook his head again and again.

It's not that this gem is worth a lot, a gemstone that can't be cut can only be left for a look. Pu Yi just looked at this Englishman and was disgusted in his heart, and he wanted to oppose him.

"It's a shame." Wang Weiyi shrugged his shoulders: "Your Majesty the Emperor, then I can only go back empty-handed."

As he spoke, he turned to Kenkichi Ueda: "Mr. Commander, thank you for your hospitality, my wife and I will continue to travel in China for a while, maybe three years, maybe five years and I will go back."

This is clearly telling Ueda Kenkichi that I am staying in China, so you should find someone else to do what you ask me to do.

"Your Excellency, please wait." Kenkichi Ueda said to Wang Weiyi in English: "What do you want this gem for?" ”

"I said, my father likes to collect gems, he has emeralds from Africa, purple gems from India, many, many, but there is still a lack of a Chinese ruby and" Wang Weiyi hesitated for a moment, and seemed to have made a lot of determination: "Moreover, haven't you listened to what His Majesty the Emperor said, that 'Great Victory Stone' is of great significance to both the Gurkha and the Qing Kingdom, and I think it will be worth more than any gem."

Kenkichi Ueda smiled: "Your Excellency, you might as well play in Xinjing for a few days, maybe you will have an unexpected harvest at that time?" ”

Wang Weiyi blinked his eyes: "Your Excellency, Commander, if I can get that gem, I will be very grateful to you." As for the price, I can pay double, and as for the thing you told me, do you know the Earl of Marlock? He had a very good relationship with the Toksen family, and he was the Speaker of the House of Lords, so I could send him a telegram explaining how much Anglo-Japanese friendship was for peace in the Far East."

"Peace in the Far East depends on Britain and Japan." Kenkichi Ueda smiled slightly: "Captain Aoki, please accompany the baron and the baroness to have a good time in Xinjing, and all the expenses will be borne by the Kwantung Army." ”

"Hello!" Toshio Aoki said loudly.

Wang Weiyi nodded with satisfaction, faced Pu Yi, and bowed slightly: "Your Majesty the Emperor, although you have not been able to meet my request, I still feel very happy about my trip to Xinjing. I like you to have a prince sooner rather than later, to inherit your position, and see you again. ”

Pu Yi watched the baroness leave in amazement, his face pale with anger, trembling all over, and he could barely stand on his feet.

The last words of the baron, like a knife, pierced his heart, and there could be no more vicious language than this

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what's wrong with you." Wang Fengchi saw that something was wrong, and hurriedly helped Pu Yi.

"I'm angry, I'm angry, I'm going to get out of the city, I'm leaving Xinjing!" Pu Yi covered his heart and shouted angrily.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please Doctor Sun, Doctor Sun."

Looking at the chaotic palace, Ueda Kenkichi didn't say a word, just stared there coldly.

Pu Yi is just a pawn that can be used, and for the fate of the empire, he can be abandoned at any time.

And Baron Andrew is also a chess piece, but now we have to think about how to meet the requirements of this chess piece! (To be continued.) )
