If the Queen Mother loses, the slave can still enjoy a day in the Old Summer Palace, if the slave loses, there is no shame, and it is not ashamed to invite the Queen Mother to come to the cold house, which is really brilliant. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Prince Li hurriedly said.
"King Nali, tell me why the Japanese won't increase military spending."
"The servant heard that this parliament of Japan was made up by the emperor of Japan himself," said Prince Rei, "then the parliament must obey the emperor's orders, and since it is at the emperor's behest, then the parliament's veto must be instructed by the emperor, and no one in Japan dares not to listen to the emperor's orders." β
Prince Li's words are a little tongue-twisting, and even some don't understand, but the people in the palace are the human spirits of the human spirits, and they understand it at once, what does Prince Li mean, what does he mean is that everything is done according to the orders of God, and the emperor himself decided to open the parliament This body, as if Emperor Sejong Yongzheng created the military aircraft department to fight against the cabinet, can the military aircraft department not listen to the will of Emperor Yongzheng? Prince Rei didn't know exactly what a parliament was, but the emperor might not be happy to see his prime minister, so why not set up another parliament? Otherwise, why would the Diet review the Cabinet's appropriation proposals, it is obvious that the Diet is the Taishang Cabinet, and the Diet's order must be the Emperor, either explicitly or implicitly, and it is clear that the Emperor is unwilling to continue to allocate funds to the Navy. This is the same in this dynasty, the meaning of the Queen Mother, that is, the meaning of the Military Aircraft Department, and the meaning of Prince Li.
Prince Li's idea can't be wrong, this application is possible in the Qing Dynasty, but the truth is not like this, others are just okay, it's just that Guo Songtao's eyebrows are raised, and they are about to fly into the brim of his hat, and he wants to laugh but is embarrassed to laugh in front of the emperor, he knows the political system of each country best, and understands what the role of this parliament is, but he just cleared his throat and coughed slightly embarrassed.
The corners of the Queen Mother's mouth showed a smile, she turned her head and saw Emperor Guangxu showing a disapproving expression, "This can't be wrong, but it's not right now, or King Li, your statement, will be realized in the future, now, the parliament really doesn't listen to the emperor's holy will, we can see it next, the emperor wants to increase military spending, but the parliament is stuck and refuses to pass, this will be troublesome in the future, our neighbor, hehe, it's not a fuel-efficient lamp, and an evaluation of ambition can't run." β
"They are thinking in their hearts, just thinking about overwhelming us at sea, how can they be willing to give up the good opportunity for the Beiyang Naval Division not to buy new warships for three years? The parliament is just a faΓ§ade, the Japanese claim to be constitutional, and with the parliament, in fact, it is not much different from us," the queen mother said, "It's just selling dog meat on the head of a sheep." She said no more at this point, just talking about this incident, "The Japanese will definitely pass this military appropriation, they are more ruthless than us, just as the emperor said, we need to take care of the people's livelihood in the country, but the Japanese, they will not take care of the life and death of their own people, they will continue to squeeze their money, squeeze every penny out, and provide it to the navy." This is something to look forward to, so we'll see. β
Guo Songtao obviously agrees with the Empress Dowager Cixi's point of view, the parliament is just a toy made by the Japanese emperor to fool the West, and now this toy actually says that he opposes his master, this opposition must be weak and powerless, and then China must have a response, he bowed and said to the Empress Dowager, "Please the Empress Dowager's will, do you want to put less pressure on Japan in diplomacy?" I am afraid that even though the Diet has rejected the Cabinet's appropriation, if we put too much diplomatic pressure on Japan and provoke protests from the Japanese, then they will quickly restart the proposal to increase military spending. β
The emperor turned his head to look at the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother touched the silk in her hand, and the silky silk handkerchief crossed her hand, "Don't worry, don't we still have a bet with King Li," the Queen Mother smiled at the emperor, "Wait to see who won, they want to pass the appropriation, and it is not so fast, if you want me to say, the increase in the allocation of the Japanese Navy is closely related to the stop of our sailors to buy warships, as well as the Berlin Conference, I don't have any tricks to change here, but Berlin, how is it." , I still have to take a look again, let's wait first, how it was before, how it is now, but what you said is right, anyway, Yuan Shikai has not yet taken office in North Korea, so on the North Korean side, how was it before, how is it next, there is no need to do anything, protest, anyway, no one will take it as a serious matter, just diplomatically, of course," the Queen Mother smiled at Guo Songtao, "It's not that diplomatic protests are useless, it's just that if the Japanese are hard-hearted, it's useless for us to protest, protest about this," The Queen Mother shook off her handkerchief, "Just stop as you want." β
"Huh."
"Diplomatic matters, let Yunxian do it, if you want other departments to cooperate, your military aircraft department will discuss it, coordination and coordination, this is not the most important thing," the Queen Mother turned her head and looked around at the people underground, the purple jewel earrings on her ears shook slightly, "The next thing in the country is the most important thing, if it is anything else, it is the same." β
"That's the issuance of new coins." The Queen Mother said solemnly, at this time her tone turned serious and firm, and Emperor Guangxu couldn't help but straighten her back, "For the sake of this new currency issuance, I agreed to Li Hongzhang's suspension of the purchase of warships in Beiyang, this is not only to cause an uproar in the country, everyone thinks that the imperial court treats the sailors harshly; This is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that foreign pressure will inevitably follow, what is all this for? It is nothing more than a lack of silver. β
"When did the Great Qing Kingdom get poor to this!" The Empress Dowager Cixi said coldly, "I can't even afford a few warships of the Navy Division!" β
The emperor sat up straight, put his hand on his knees, and there was silence in the hall, only to hear the words of the Empress Dowager Cixi continue to sound in the Dongnuan Pavilion, "I don't know at other times, but from the Wenzong Dynasty to the present, the errands of the military aircraft department and the imperial court are only ten times more than ten times, so many errands cost money, and it is difficult for you to be able to persist for so many years!" β
The plus tip is coming! (To be continued.) )
