ACT172: The Man Who Placed the Chess Pieces

The day after Japan officially declared war on the Tang Dynasty, the people of Chang'an lived no different life than usual, except for a little new talk after tea and dinner. Everyone should eat and drink, and this kind of "little thing" should not be put to heart at all!

No one will believe that a small Japan can hold the Tang Dynasty that has stood for thousands of years. After a long time of peace and prosperity, people have long felt very unfamiliar with the cruelty of war, and even young people will have absurd yearnings, as if they will have a "protagonist halo" possessed when they are on the battlefield, and they have to fly around them in the rain of bullets.

To put it bluntly, this mentality is full of food!

The welcome dinner ended in displeasure, and Hirohito returned to the state guesthouse in a huff, reportedly falling and smashing in his room. Lingzong, who was declared war, was obviously in a good mood, stayed at the banquet with a smile and ate a good meal, and at the end of his life, he also instructed the chef of the state guesthouse that if the Japanese mission was not in a hurry to leave, he would add another chicken leg to Hirohito at each meal.

As soon as he returned to his lodgings, Hirohito shouted that he would immediately return to his home country and start a war. It was Hirota Hiroki who persuaded him for a few hours before he agreed to wait two more days so that he could have a chance to resolve this undeserved dispute through diplomatic means.

So early the next morning, when the radio had just started broadcasting, Hirota Hiroki ran to the palace to ask to see Lingzong. Hirota, who hadn't slept all night, racked his brains to think about the "deeper" reasons in this matter, he never believed that Lingzong's anger at Hirohito was just as simple as not wanting to marry his daughter, there must be other "real goals". As a result, the more Hirota thought about it, the more he felt that this was a big "pubic hair", and he was extremely uneasy.

But in fact, although Lingzong does have other thoughts, in terms of the proportion of emotions, not wanting to marry his daughter is definitely the biggest reason! If Hirota Hongyi knew the truth of the Dao, he would definitely burst into tears!

For Hirota's request to see, Lingzong had already expected it. So the other party was quickly brought to the emperor who was eating breakfast. As soon as the two sides met, Hirota Hongyi "pounced" and came to a powerful "tiger landing style", the standard of kneeling posture, even the eunuchs who had received "professional training" on the side were ashamed of themselves.

"Mr. Hirota, why did you suddenly make such a big gift?"

"Your Majesty! For the sake of the people of both countries, the contemptible begs you to stop this erroneous war! ”

A big war broke out between Tang and Japan, and as long as the Japanese side could have even the slightest hope of winning, Hirota Hiroki, as the prime minister and foreign minister, would not run to Lingzong and kneel down to beg for mercy. The Japanese are indeed known for their love of gambling on the fortunes of their country, and after becoming a great power. Inflated national pride has made them very arrogant, but that doesn't mean that there isn't a single smart one among the 110 million Japanese.

Japan has ambitions to dominate the world, but the people who formulated this plan for hegemony have clearly marked the criteria for the enemy that can be challenged at each stage. Japan's goal at this stage is to take over Southeast Asia and Northeast Asia, and the Tang Dynasty, which is sandwiched in the middle, will not be able to start until this "sandwich" is completely completed.

"Mr. Hirota, I'm not happy if you say that! You have to make it clear that it was your emperor who first declared war on me. Do you want to stop this erroneous war? OK! Go back to your little friend. ”

"Your Majesty, you ...... Can't you just treat it as a child's talk? As long as we can make one more statement. Say it's just a joke......"

"Mr. Hirota, you've probably heard the term 'Junwu joke', right? Unless you don't recognize that kid as your Emperor of Japan, do you mean that? ”

"W-How is this possible!?"

With a playful smile on his face, Lingzong beckoned to Hirota Hiroki. Let him sit opposite him, and then take a document from the palace maid on the side and throw it in front of the other party.

"See for yourself! If there is no doubt, it is better for your country to prepare early. ”

Picking up the document with a puzzled face, Hirota silently flipped through it. But soon a look of shock appeared on his face, but it didn't take long for it to become subtle again. After reading it roughly, Hirota just wanted to speak. Lingzong stretched out his hand to stop him.

"If your question is just 'for what?' then you don't have to ask!"

After being silent for a while, as if he had made some difficult decision in his heart, Hirota Hiroki got up and bowed solemnly to Lingzong, then picked up the document and turned to leave. Not long after the other party left, the Second Emperor of Yan and Huang walked out from behind the screen, and the Yellow Emperor looked at the direction in which Guangtian left, turned his head and said to Lingzong.

"Have you really decided? This may make you infamous. ”

"Don't talk about the afterlife in life! Besides, I don't care about that. As long as those guys can be lured out of the shadows and eliminated, let alone the Tang Dynasty, the entire world can be freed from this chaos. ”

"But I don't think it's right for you to choose the Japanese, they're like a bunch of unfamiliar dogs."

"Anyway, they're not the only chess pieces, it doesn't matter if they are cooked or not, it's just a great stew! Their possible 'small moves' are also within my calculations, and don't forget, I'm a genius with an IQ of 250! ”

"But you sometimes fall to only 2, don't you? Especially in recent years! ”

"Uh...... It's just a small matter, don't worry about these details. ”

Regarding the "infamy" and worry that the Yellow Emperor said, Lingzong didn't care about it. He leisurely picked up the teacup, but before it reached his mouth, his face suddenly changed, and his whole body trembled violently, and the teacup suddenly slipped from his hand, fell to the ground and shattered. Seeing him in this situation, the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor hurriedly wanted to come over to help, but Lingzong waved his hand.

"It's, it's just an intermittent little situation, and I don't have anything to do."

"You're in this situation, I'm afraid it won't last long."

"It's okay, I'm mentally prepared, at least before I fall, I have to make the most preparations...... By the way, are the results of the inspection out? Which of my descendants is more suitable? ”

"The results have just come out, and there is only one suitable ...... It's your favorite one. ”

"Is that so? Maybe this is providence! In that case, without further ado, I will begin to write the edict at once, and have Ti'er called, and I have something to say to him. ”

Soon Lingzong wrote an edict, and then he locked the edict into a brocade box and solemnly handed it over to the Yellow Emperor, so that she could keep it properly and announce it to the world when "that day" came. At this time, the eldest prince Li Ti came to the outside of the hall, and Lingzong asked Yan and Huang to avoid it first, and then let Li Ti enter the hall.

At the same time, on the other side, Hirota Hongyi hurriedly returned to the state guesthouse, and Hirohito, who was still angry, saw him enter the door and immediately asked.

"How's it going? Are they willing to apologize to me? ”

"Your Majesty, let's go back to China, and immediately organize the army to start a war with Datang!"

"Huh!? Hirotaqing, why are you suddenly more active than me? ”

Without explaining anything to Hirohito, the less people knew about the document in the hands of Hirota Chimichi, who was already in a state of excitement, the better, and this was a golden opportunity for Japan. As for whether it will become "seeking skin with the tiger" in the end...... Just take a gamble! (To be continued......)
