Thirty-four, the green mountains faint (8)
"They want to use all the force that can be used at the end of the day to try to make Japan understand that China is still so difficult to provoke, and in this case, maybe the whole country of Japan will extinguish any attempt to resist China, but obviously, we have seen through such a trick.

The middle-aged man sitting in the carriage was very proud, "Our intelligence is very good, the Mei organ has been laid out in Beijing City, and a steady stream of reliable news is being transmitted to Tokyo, so that our cabinet," his eyes showed a very admiring look, "Provide it to the Prime Minister, Prime Minister Taiko Ito to decide, they made this decision, now the Chinese's force far exceeds our Japan, but their advantage will soon cease to exist, So now we have to back down, back down to the point that no one will doubt that Japan will not start any war, and that's how the Nagasaki port incident was handled, so in the future, we can't provoke anything in Seoul that might allow China to interfere! ”
Yoyuki Tomita was a little frustrated, "Although I understand that this is only a temporary forbearance, I am still sad, sad for our empire, our Imperial Majesty," his eyes showed a look of fanaticism and shame, "To endure such a shame as the Qing Kingdom, as a courtier, we should commit suicide by seppuku!" ”
"yes," the other man nodded and patted Yoyuki Tomita's slightly trembling shoulder, "I understand your feelings, we have been fighting for this ideal, His Majesty the Emperor followed Goujian's example, of course we can, temporary humiliation is nothing, please be patient!" ”
Yoyuki Tomita nodded, and he explained today's situation, "Ambassador San, according to your personal judgment in the Qing Kingdom, do you think that our Japanese State can defeat the Qing Kingdom?" Of course, this is just a private conversation, and there is no intelligence at all. ”
"Absolutely, absolutely no problems!" Speaking of this, Yoyuki Tomita seemed to perk up, "Today I have seen through the rotten life of the Qing Kingdom, they will definitely not be able to defeat our Japanese Empire, I can guarantee this!" ”
"Why are you so sure, Ambassador?" The middle-aged man hurriedly asked.
"Today's banquet is eaten by the Empress Dowager of the Qing Kingdom and the emperor, there are only eleven of us, divided into two tables," Yoyuki Tomita carefully introduced, "Of course, the utensils are the most expensive, and the royal meal should be very luxurious, but I didn't expect that our two tables have a total of five hundred dishes, which is already very wasteful and extravagant, I didn't expect that the Empress Dowager of the Qing Kingdom was still angry and said that this is really no way to get off the chopsticks, and the emperor of China actually just advised the Empress Dowager not to be angry, but there was no idea of exhorting and reflecting, There will be no future for such a country! ”
"Ambassador San, what do you mean ......"
"Extravagance has become their habit, our emperor is for the country, only one meal a day, and the Chinese queen mother and emperor, but a meal can eat five hundred dishes is not enough, they have been used to extravagance, although the Qing country's Westernization movement was quite successful, on the surface, more successful than our Meiji Restoration, however, their upper echelons did not form a united, honest and efficient core, then it means that it is impossible to gather the strength of the whole country, and our country has long been under the leadership of His Majesty the Emperor, Twisted into a rope! Please believe what I said, the Qing Kingdom is peaceful on the surface, but in fact, it is already rotten inside! ”
"So we are patient for the time being, and the deeper we endure, the more rewards we will get in the future, and the more things that belong to the Great Japanese Empire will be brought back here in the Qing Kingdom!"
When the ambassadors withdrew, the emperor had already left the table, "Little Lizi," after changing her clothes and leveling her face again, the queen mother, who was sitting and resting for a while, spoke, "Do you think the people outside believe that we are so extravagant?" ”
In fact, the Queen Mother's daily meal is only more than ten dishes, and it is not extravagant to this extent, but this is a banquet, and the Queen Mother has other thoughts, so she has to deliberately publicize it, "Lafayette's thoughts, people outside will not understand, naturally they don't know what is going on inside." ”
"This contrived is really exciting," the Queen Mother shook her head and smiled, "Such hundreds of dishes are so lively and lively, I still have to dislike the lack of richness, but it scared the emperor a lot, it's just that, I hope others will always think like this, bear the false name, you can't be slandered in vain, this is excellent," she instructed Li Lianying, "Don't waste this dish, ask the big guy to take it down and divide it, even if you eat it, today's dish is really good, the imperial dining room has taken eighteen changes of craftsmanship, everything is delicious, I really want to give birth to a few more stomachs, but now I really have a big heart and a small belly, and I am full without a few bites, by the way, are there any bear paws? Don't leave it to Prince Li, let's take it back and eat it next time. ”
After resting, the Queen Mother took a nap, got up and continued to listen to the play in front of her, the ambassadors had dispersed in the afternoon, to be honest, they couldn't understand, and they really couldn't sit still, so in the afternoon it was the concubines in the palace and the dependents of Prince Li's mansion, Prince Li's brother was still young, so he was not taboo, and the concubines sat together, Emperor Xianfeng had only one son, Emperor Tongzhi had no son, and the head of the palace had few heirs, so the snow group like the elder brother was very favored, and he didn't know how many red lip prints there were on his face, The reward piled up a small mountain bag, so lively and lively to more than three o'clock, the imperial tea room brought a snack up, tea soup porridge and all kinds of food, the noon food style oil, this will be used very light, mostly with glutinous rice, red dates, chestnuts, Jianlian these fresh and refreshing things to boil porridge soup, etc., eat a snack, the queen mother looked around, after lunch, the emperor has returned to the Old Summer Palace to read the book, there is a group of women's army left, "Today we have been making trouble with the king of Li all day, almost while he is not annoying, Let's not be villains, let's go back to the garden as soon as possible! ”
Prince Li hurriedly said, "The West Sage can come to the cold house, I really can't ask for it, how dare I bother, I also expect the West Sage to go back after dinner in the house, there is an excellent Huaiyang cuisine cook at home, and he is preparing to show his hand to the West Sage." ”
"It's too late, I've had enough fun and enough food this time," the Queen Mother smiled, "Don't finish it all this time, just keep it for next time." (To be continued.) )
