Junko took out the fish and carefully cut a lot of sashimi out, "Dad doesn't need to be embarrassed, I really said, the Qing Kingdom is our enemy, if we defeat the Qing Kingdom, then of course we can seize the land, wealth and women of the Qing Kingdom." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"Really?" The boss frowned and said, "Is it the youngest son of the Akiyama family?" ”

"Yes, father," Junko came out with a bowl, carefully placed the sashimi in it, and wrapped it in a blue coarse cloth, she looked at the package lovingly and nodded.

"Junko," the shopkeeper shook his head helplessly, "The Akiyama family is a samurai family, we are just civilians, I'm worried that the two of you will fall in love with each other without results, you should find a commoner's son to fall in love!" ”

Junko covered her mouth and giggled, "Daddy," she said coquettishly, "It's now the twenty-sixth year of the Meiji era, and your mind is still stuck in the shogunate era," Junko was obviously very proud of the second son of the Akiyama family, "We two really love each other, and what does the samurai family have to do with the commoner family?" China's Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai will be together even if they become butterflies, it doesn't matter, Akiyama is about to graduate from the Naval Academy in Yokohama, and we have made an appointment," Junko's face flushed, "We have made an appointment to meet today." ”

The boss shook his head helplessly, "Okay, Dad allows you to meet, but you don't allow that kid from the Akiyama family to take advantage of you, do you hear?" ”

"Dad, you're really ......" Junko smiled brightly, "What did you say!" ”

The middle-aged man who ate rice balls at Junko's restaurant sat in a carriage and arrived at the seat of the Imperial Cabinet, where he needed to report on his work immediately after returning to Japan, apparently, the cabinet officials knew why the middle-aged man came here, and quickly introduced him to the office of Prime Minister Ito Hirobumi, who was not only Ito Hirobumi, but even Foreign Minister Mutsu Munemitsu had been waiting here for a long time. The middle-aged man was very guilty, bent down and bowed, "I'm very sorry to let the Prime Minister and the Foreign Minister wait for me, but I stopped to enjoy it on the way because I missed the Japanese rice balls, I'm really sorry!" ”

"It's okay," Hirobumi Ito said gently, "it's a very natural thing for you to miss the food and drink of your homeland, and there will be no problem, of course, we have prepared a good geisha, waiting to warm your empty mind in the future," he smiled like a man knows, "these are all rewards for you, but now," he said, wearing white gloves, "we must go with you to see His Majesty the Emperor immediately, His Majesty knows that Ambassador Komura has returned to Japan today, and he has already emphasized in San, You must meet the Village Ambassador as soon as possible! ”

Mutsu Somitsu also nodded, "His Majesty the Emperor is really eager for the news of the Qing Kingdom, and you also understand that any movement of the Beiyang Naval Division must be completely controlled!" ”

"Hay!" Ambassador Komura was very shocked, he didn't expect the emperor to attach so much importance to his work, he hurriedly nodded, "Please rest assured, Foreign Minister, I will definitely tell all the information I know!" ”

The three of them went out together, got into a carriage, and went to the emperor's palace together. The place where the emperor lived was called the Imperial Palace, and the Imperial Palace, which was originally located in Kyoto, was once called the Kyoto Imperial Palace, the forbidden wrap, and the inner wrap. After the Meiji Restoration, the capital was moved to Tokyo, and according to the emperor's instructions, the imperial palace in Kyoto was named "Kyoto Imperial Palace", which was formerly the ruling center of the Tokugawa shogunate, Edo Castle, and later changed it into a palace by the Meiji emperor. So to this day, the place still retains many decorations and buildings from the shogunate era, with a rather wide moat, and a gravel road that paved the surrounding road, which was done during the shogunate period to prevent ninja assassinations, because no matter how clever a ninja is, it is impossible for a skilled ninja to pass through the gravel road silently without being detected.

When the carriage arrived in front of the Imperial Palace, it was no longer possible to ride the carriage, so several people got out of the carriage and entered the palace, crossed the Niju Bridge, and walked along the hillside, pines and cypresses, and the green lawn all the way to the main hall of the palace, which was also the Nagawa Hall where the Meiji Emperor received ministers and handled political affairs.

Japan is a country with many earthquakes, so Rao is palace is only two stories high, but the east-west direction is extremely long, about 200 meters of the most length, green copper roof, white walls, log site, looks very simple and solemn, the main hall is divided into three rooms, respectively, pine, bamboo, plum, each large room has a different small room, Ito Hirobumi asked the chamberlain, Emperor Meiji today in the "Ming Matsuma" office, the name is taken from the Tang Dynasty poet Wang Wei's "Bright Moon Matsuma Zhao" poem," His Excellency the Military Delegate and His Excellency the Minister of the Navy have arrived. ”

Ito Hirobumi's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and then he relaxed, the representative of the military, without informing himself, first met with the emperor, which is a very rude question, after all, he is the prime minister of the cabinet, and this Minister of the Navy。。。。。。 If we talk about the Ministry of War, Prime Minister Ito Hirobumi is not under the jurisdiction, but the Minister of the Navy is still under the cabinet, such a situation is not just a matter of disrespect.

However, Ito Hirobumi remained silent, just nodded calmly, and walked into Ming Matsuma with the chamberlain, and the Minister of the Navy, Saigo Congmichi, and the representative of the military department, Ito Yuheng, were already waiting.

Emperor Meiji knelt on a small throne, this one, the wall behind the emperor was painted with towering green pines, and a bright moon, the emperor looked at Ito Hirobumi with a smile, Ito Hirobumi led the landing Oku Munemitsu and the ambassador of the small village to bend down and bow together, "Taiko, please sit down," the emperor bowed slightly, Ito Hirohiromi turned his head to look at the representative of the military department, Ito Yuhiro, looked at it for a while, Ito Yuhiro seemed to be a little reluctant and slowly bent down to bow to Ito Hirofumi, Ito Hirobumi smiled slightly, Only then did he sit down, but he knew who the protagonist of the day was, so he sat down slightly towards the back, so that His Majesty the Emperor could directly see the ambassador of the small village, and sure enough, the emperor looked at the ambassador of the small village who sat down, and nodded, "Ambassador San, you have been an envoy to the Qing country, for so many years, you have worked hard, and you have been ridiculed by the Qing people, and you have dedicated yourself to such a position for the country, I am really too guilty." ”

This is the Japanese ambassador to the Qing Dynasty, Komura Shoutaro, because Komura Shoutaro is short, cunning and treacherous, and good at stealing information, soon after his arrival, the ministers of the Beijing diplomatic mission gave him the nickname of "rat minister" to satirize him as cunning and cunning as a mouse.
