Chapter 108: Seeds of Doubt
The first update
Obviously, the British Parliament is in the middle of a general election, and there are still some different opinions on the interpretation of the supplementary clause that was corrected last time. The meaning of the new Congress is whether to add some explanatory clauses. These are some ideas copied back by the clumsy husband, and he deliberately asked the concubine to be transferred to the queen's mother. The Japanese lady hurriedly handed over an envelope with both hands.
Qingyu picked up the envelope from Mama Lin's tea tray, it was quite thick, and took it out to see. The Chinese characters are neat, and the letter was written by the Japanese ambassador, who may be afraid that his wife would not be able to speak clearly, so he deliberately wrote in detail and used Chinese characters.
If Qingyu hadn't come from the 21st century, she would have known those histories. I'm afraid that I'm still the same as Chery, I think the little Japanese are good. Looking back and forth, it's really bloody.
"That's what you mean?" Qingyu looked at it silently for a while, then looked sideways at Mrs. France. They are all smart people, and they know the intentions of the Japanese, and if the French can't guess what is written in the letter, they will live in vain.
Although, I don't know how the Japanese ambassador understands it. But for state-to-state relations, peace is primary. Madame de France smiled and lowered her head slightly, "However, whether Japan is qualified to be an intermediary, Your Majesty the Empress, please consider carefully." ”
"And what about the position of the two as intermediaries?" Qingyu put down the letter and asked with a smile.
"Originally, Britain and France were one, if you can agree to Britain's terms, you can sign a new contract with France and the United States as it is." Madame de France was also blunt, but when she had finished speaking, she let out a long breath of air.
Qingyu smiled when she looked at it, but the attitude of the French ambassador's wife also said it all. Even though she said so, she knew that it was impossible.
In the previous treaty explanation, did the Qing Dynasty take a step back, but in the end they were forced to sign it, and now they are looking for an excuse to tear it up? I don't want to think about it, the Qing Dynasty didn't agree before, and now it won't agree even more.
"Yes, it's the same in Japan." Japan actually doesn't have such big ambitions, but when she saw that the French lady said so, she straightened her back.
"This time China is not at fault, why should the treaty be changed?" Qingyu raised her eyes coldly, and there was no smile on her face.
"Niangniang, it's really a fight...... "The Japanese lady stepped forward, she had just heard the translation, and the French said directly in front of the queen that Japan's weight was not enough. I was really angry, but I still stepped forward, "We ......"
Qingyu didn't speak, she picked up the tea bowl. The envoy ladies actually understand it, but it was the first time that Qingyu gave the envoy's wife the gift of serving tea to the guest, and the two ladies also had a trace of panic on their faces. And they also showed impatience on Qingyu's face for the first time.
"Sending off!" Mama Lin also saw it, and hurriedly sang and cheered loudly.
"Again, when you return home, please take a passenger ship." Qingyu spoke very forcefully in Chinese, and the two interpreters immediately translated whether they understood it or not.
Qingyu also said this to Mrs. France before, but it was not this attitude. What Mrs. France saw was the perseverance on Qingyu's face. For the first time, she thought, maybe, that this time, that they might lose the idea.
When the two of them left the palace, they felt distracted. Both of them stopped talking, and of course, they didn't understand each other's language, so they couldn't speak what they wanted at this time. But at this time, the two of them were very cold, and they both had one idea, they wanted to return to China immediately, and they couldn't stay any longer.
Their actions were quickly reported to the palace, Xianfeng looked at the report, smiled and shook his head.
"Mr. Yang and Dr. Yang are gone, but the businessmen and pastors are gone."
"The pastors are gone? Didn't they come with a heart dedicated to God? Qingyu also smiled, these pastors had already come over before the country opened. Well, now they are running faster than rabbits.
"So this time it's good, the gentlemen we paid for didn't leave, showing confidence in us." Xianfeng smiled, thinking that those useful foreigners were still in the capital, he expressed his satisfaction.
"That's right, those who are useless, it saves a lot of worry when they leave." Qingyu smiled, when she knew Xianfeng's thoughts, of course she had to follow the words at this time.
"I didn't expect the Japanese embassy to be closed, and I was the first to run." Xianfeng frowned and sighed.
"Isn't that just right? They didn't say goodbye to Chery and tell them about my unkindness to them? Qingyu looked at her husband with a smile. In the past few days, she has not gone to the front, everything that should be arranged has been arranged, and she is waiting quietly at this time.
However, reading that Xianfeng's letter to the people in the newspaper was very well written, he explained the situation and apologized to the people, but at this time, he could no longer bear it and disregarded the lives and property of the people. Because, once again, patience will only make the country become someone else's meal, and all our efforts are just marrying others and making people want from us......
Qingyu thinks about it, if this article were written by herself, how would she write it? Xianfeng is more gentleman than himself, if he were himself, he should emphasize the immorality of the powers more this time. Everything they do is self-defense. But Xianfeng is an indigenous, he was educated by a gentleman, and when he wrote it, it gave people the feeling of a gentleman's forbearance and helplessness. He expressed his apologies to the people, but he also showed his determination. It was revealed that this war may not necessarily be won, but he will not give in easily.
She was really moved that day, so over the years, when she was translating the politics of various countries, the first thing she heard her say was Xianfeng. So he is actually the one who knows more about countries besides himself. He is not a politician, so he has become more and more sophisticated.
"The Japanese ambassador didn't dare to ask to see me, but I heard that he gave Li Hongzhang the gramophone and some records from his house before leaving. However, Li Hongzhang told them that he had this, and it was a German product. Only the records remained! Xianfeng smiled and grimaced at Qingyu," Li Hongzhang said angrily because they gave Chery an ancient painting from the Tang Dynasty. ”
"Chery took it?"
"I accepted it, why didn't you accept it, and showed it to me, the antiquities of our Tang Dynasty can be taken back the same. Now both of them want to bombard Japan, and they feel that something is better to be ruined. Xianfeng laughed. raised his eyebrows, "Is this considered brainwashing, after you told them that Little Japan was bad, no matter how they looked at Little Japan, they felt bad." ”
"This is the seed of doubt, I planted the seed of doubt in their hearts, and whatever little Japan does in the future, they will deepen this doubt, so what they do is actually wrong. And this time Little Japan was the first to run, showing their weak hearts, at this time the two of them hated Japan more than me, because they had no bad feelings towards Japan before, and they wanted to intercede with me, and now they didn't leave them any face, so it's no wonder that they can feel better. ”
