Episode 108 Invited to tea
Episode 108 Invited to tea
Before Fourteen Gege came to dinner, he also had some mental preparations, and he also made several guesses.
First of all, "the three families carved up the Northern Qing Dynasty", she didn't expect this matter at all. Because Japan has always stood on the side of the Northern Qing Dynasty. Even the fourteen grids full of dark sides in their minds did not expect that for their own interests, Japan could turn its face faster than a book.
But what was even more unprepared was that Kenji Dohihara actually proposed: support herself as the empress of the remnants of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
Under Kenji Dohihara's smiling gaze, Fourteen Gege couldn't hold back her face anymore, and her expression couldn't be controlled anymore. Fourteen Gege glanced at him quickly, took a deep breath, and flushed his face. It took several seconds of deep breathing before the excitement was suppressed and his face returned to normal.
Watching the changes on Fourteen Gege's face, Kenji Dohihara was very satisfied: she was still young after all, and it was difficult to control her joy when she heard the news. - To be honest, this kind of sudden embrace as an emperor, even the most scheming old man, can not completely control the look of surprise.
Compared with Kenji Tu Feihara, the fourteen grids are still relatively tender. However, Fourteen Gege is not as tender as Kenji Dohihara thought.
She immediately wondered if it was a conspiracy. …… What type of conspiracy? The easiest: sow discord.
…… Japan cooperated with the Beijing government to invite itself to talk about some shady things -- such as retaining a piece of Manchu power and making herself empress -- and then hid a tape recorder, recorded its conversations, and then handed them over to the relevant departments and personnel in Nanjing...... For example, Dongchang, such as Shen Rongxuan, such as Zhu Yourong. Then, his own identity, which was already extremely sensitive, proved to be very ambitious, at least in the future, and he would not be trusted.
Fourteen Gege's mind spun quickly, and there was a possibility in front of him. This is also the most dangerous and immediate possibility.
And she immediately made a further analysis of this danger:
conspired with Japan to "carve up the Northern Qing Dynasty by the three families", and this fourteen grid is not easy to judge whether it is tolerated by the Southern Ming Dynasty. But it doesn't really matter, because Nanming may not agree, or he may agree. At the very least, it should be negotiable. If Japan abandoned the Northern Qing Dynasty and secretly united with the Ming Dynasty to attack the Northern Qing Dynasty, this would be a way for the Southern Ming Dynasty to quickly break the deadlock and exchange the greatest benefits for the minimum cost.
The danger mainly focused on his own conspiracy with Japan to retain the "Northeast Qing" and conspire to become the empress of the "Northeast Qing". Once Nanming officials know, then their position is in danger.
……
Thinking of this, Fourteen Gege decided not to take this risk for the time being. This is not the place to talk about such things.
She stood up and said with a smile:
"Thanks to the hospitality of Mr. Military Attache and Miss Asakura tonight, it's not too early, and I can't bother ...... more."
Kenji Dohihara was a little stunned, looked up at her, and slowly showed his smile after a while:
"Ah, Her Royal Highness is going back so early? This...... The hospitality was not good, it was really a pleasure not to ......"
Fourteen Gege laughed:
"Where, you're so polite."
Kenji Dohihara's eyes showed a tacit smile, nodded, and led the way in front of him with some helplessness, inviting Fourteen Gege back to the living room.
Sako Asakura and the four couples of men and women in the living room were surprised, and they all stood up and looked at Fourteen Gege. Kenji Dohihara explained to her with a smile, saying that Her Royal Highness the princess is tired, and besides, the time is not too early, so let's send Her Royal Highness home.
Several people looked at the hands of the clock, which was only half past eight, and although they didn't understand what was going on, they all cooperated and respectfully sent fourteen squares out.
Out of the front hall door, to the garden in front of the house, Fourteen Gege intimately grabbed Asakura Sako's arm, turned his head to make a whisper, and the few people behind immediately knew it, slowed down, and distanced himself from the two young ladies in front.
Fourteen Gege whispered to Sako Asakura:
"I'll wait at home tomorrow night, and I'll invite you out for dinner."
Sako Asakura was a little surprised, but also a little nervous, and nodded quickly.
……
Fourteen Gege got into his bulletproof car, returned to his mansion, and thought about it all the way in the car.
She is the opposite of Zhu Yourong, who is in the center of power and has no desire for power. But Fourteen Gege is very power-hungry. She is not willing to do nothing. This condition thrown by Japan is too tempting. The temptation was scared away that night at Fourteen Gege, and he didn't dare to talk a word.
This is clearly pie in the sky. And people with a little brain know that the beauty of pie in the sky must be cautious. Most likely, it's not a pie, it's a trap.
But on the other hand, what Tu Feiyuan said is also very correct. If you really want to find a monarch for the "Northeast Qing", it is difficult to have a more suitable person than her fourteen grids. She is the only one who can consider from the standpoint of the Ming, Qing, and Japanese at the same time, and at the same time she is noble, as a member of the Aixinjue Luo clan. If the female identity is removed, then it is completely legal in blood.
As for women's identity, since there is the example of Nanming first, and with the support of Japan, is there any obstacle?
Fourteen Gege leaned against the wide ostrich leather backrest, his cheeks flushed, and his chest throbbed, and he couldn't control his excitement.
…… Really, if it really happens, she'd do anything.
……
But after all, Fourteen Gege is also a person who has been trained in conspiracy and calculation for more than ten years, and it is impossible to revel in such wishful thinking. Soon, she forced herself to put away YY and think of something sober.
First, if Japan really felt that the Northern Qing Dynasty was an Adou that could not be supported, and instead wanted to carve up the Northern Qing Dynasty with the Southern Ming, then why did it retain a piece of Manchu power in the northeast?
Second, if you really want to retain a piece of Manchu power, do you really need to be the empress yourself?
It is true that I do meet the requirements in terms of origin, understanding and closeness to Japan. However, Japan left a piece of "Northeast Qing", and no matter what the reason, it must have hoped that the regime would be obedient and even become a "quasi-colony", that is, similar to the state before Korea was formally "annexed" to Japan.
Then, for Japan, the other conditions of the emperor of the "Northeast Qing" are no longer important, and obedience and good control are the most important. The Japanese know their own character and methods very well. If she becomes the empress of the "Northeast Qing", you can imagine whether she will be very obedient.
Besides, if his bloodline and background meet the requirements, is there still a small number of clans in the Qing family that meet the requirements? For Japan, it should not be difficult to find another man with the surname Aisin Jueluo, who has no ability, no scheming, no desire for power, or even a child. Why do you have to find yourself, a woman with ability, scheming, and a desire for power?
As for pulling up the USSR, this fourteen grid is easy to understand. Because the Soviet Union also attached great importance to its interests in the Far East, if Japan and the Southern Ming Dynasty were to divide up, and Japan would dominate Manchuria, it would be too stimulating for the Soviet Union. If you don't feed this polar bear, everyone will have to eat this meal with fear.
Japan may have thought that by giving the Soviet Union a piece of Central Asia, it would at least allow it to tolerate Japanese expansion on the Northeast Asian continent without asking for trouble. As for that place, although it theoretically belongs to the "Northern Ming", not to mention today's Southern Ming, even if the Northern Ming Dynasty was in its heyday hundreds of years ago, did it really control it? From the standpoint of the Southern Ming Dynasty, it is better to throw the Gobi Desert to the Soviet Union, and quickly recover the Yellow River Valley in North China, so as to restore the control area of the Northern Ming Dynasty.
……
Fourteen Gege returned to the princess's mansion, and when he saw that the time was still early, he wanted to call Xiang Xiaoqiang to come. She wanted to talk to Xiaoqiang about this matter and discuss it with him.
In the past, the fourteen Gege were all made their own ideas, bold and capable, and had a lot of confidence in themselves. But lately, she has become more and more like an authentic woman. Intentionally or unintentionally, he always treats Xiang Xiaoqiang as a big tree, and he is a vine wrapped around the tree.
Fourteen Gege pressed his hand on the telephone receiver and hesitated for a while, but finally decided not to tell anyone about it for the time being. …… If there are only three companies that divide the content of the Northern Qing Dynasty, it can be taken out and said. can not only tell Xiang Xiaoqiang, but even tell the cabinet. Then there is nothing to be ashamed of.
But now there is still the key content behind - Japan wants to ask itself to be the future empress of the "Northeast Qing". This thing is too crazy, I'm afraid Xiang Xiaoqiang won't have the same heart as himself. He desperately wants to marry himself home and be a virtuous helper.
Thinking of this, the ambition that Fourteen Gege had just been stirred up by the "Empress Dream" encountered a gentle tremor again. …… Alas, jokingly, that boy, can he afford to marry two empresses?
Anyway, I'll talk about it tomorrow after a detailed discussion. I hinted at Sako Asakura, and tomorrow, she will explain the meaning of Kenji Dohihara to herself in the most detail.
……
The next morning, Zhu Yourong called and very affectionately invited Fourteen Gege into the fortress for tea.
Fourteen Gege was really taken aback. I just met Tu Feiyuan last night, and I just thought about being the empress of the Northeast Qing Dynasty, and I was invited to drink tea this morning......
She was nervous for a while, but after thinking about it, there was no flaw. Unless the Japanese side leaked the news to Zhu Yourong by itself, then the intentions will be obvious. I didn't say a word last night, and even if they recorded it, it wouldn't mean anything.
Since there are no flaws, invite yourself to tea, why? Looking at words and looking for flaws? Just an honest girl like Zhu Yourong, is she doing this?
Therefore, she judged that eighty percent had nothing to do with this matter.
Fourteen Gege drove up the mountain, entered the fortress, and met Zhu Yourong.
Zhu Yourong pulled her to sit down very affectionately, drink tea, eat snacks, and chat. After the greetings, Zhu Yourong mentioned the last time Guangwu sent Yonggui to return the property to Fourteen Gege.
"Ah...... Your Majesty...... "Fourteen Gege was a little embarrassed, a little nervous, and smiled, "This...... Actually......"
Zhu Yourong smiled and said with relief:
"Sister, don't think about it, I don't mean anything else. Those things originally belonged to my sister, he Guangwu sent them back, and that was also deserved, and my sister didn't owe him affection. It's just that last time I told Xiaoqiang and me that those things were far away in Europe, and my sister also intended to transport them back to Daming? ”
Fourteen Gege lowered his head and smiled:
"Huh...... The Ming Dynasty is currently at war, and a lot of money is needed for both industry and mining...... I think that instead of letting the assets sleep in Europe, it is better to transport them back and use them in domestic investment, which can be regarded as Liaoyang's meager contribution to the Northern Expedition of the Ming Dynasty......"
Zhu Yourong smiled:
"It's rare for my sister to be so hearted. But my sister can rest assured, no matter how much property there is, it is my sister's own money, and no one will ask how my sister disposes of it. It's just that...... Xiang Xiaoqiang reminded me that my sister may need a reliable escort ship? Hehe, I invite my sister to come today, first, we haven't seen each other for many days, let's talk together, and secondly, I want to see, is there anything I can do to help? ”
Fourteen Gege was completely relieved. She knew that today had nothing to do with the matter of the "Empress of the Northeast Qing Dynasty", and it was unlikely that Zhu Yourong would covet her property. This should be Zhu Yourong enveloping himself.
She smiled and bowed to the end:
"Ah...... Your Majesty, don't hide it from Your Majesty, Liaoyang is worried about this matter. Although it is not difficult to hire a ship, it is difficult to guarantee that the other party will not see the wealth of so much wealth...... It would be great if Your Majesty could help......"
Zhu Yourong was very happy, smiled and said with a sense of accomplishment:
"Sister, don't be so polite...... It's a trivial matter...... Seriously, I owe my sister a lot......"
