Chapter 101 Borrowing chicken to hatch eggs

The Japanese have done a great job in emotional governance. This special consultation was transferred by Zheng Gang to Yi on the seventh day of the first lunar month. On that day, he was on duty at the Military Affairs Office. After receiving a consultation from Japan, he thought it was for the huge change caused by the emperor's random remarks at the negotiating table, and he hurriedly started to look at it, "...so?"

"Yes. I don't understand the humble position. It's a good thing. The Japanese want to invite me to the Beiyang Navy of the Qing Dynasty to visit Japan? Will there be ** in it?"

Yi couldn't decide either. The content of this consultation was beyond everyone's expectations. It was actually His Majesty the Emperor of Japan. Given that the Chinese Beiyang Navy defeated the French fleet near the coast of Vietnam and greatly increased the appearance of an Asian maritime power. Japan itself is the country closest to the Qing Dynasty. In addition to the glory of it, it felt even more happy. Therefore, it was intended to invite the Beiyang Navy to fight to Japan, and the Japanese people would celebrate it.

Such a consultation is really ridiculous. It is the Chinese who defeated France. When will it be the Japanese turn to celebrate on their behalf? It has something to do with them? Although the consultation was sent in the name of the Japanese Emperor and it is very formal, based on his years of experience in handling the Westernization Affairs, there must be ulterior motives.

I was determined to hand over the sign to the emperor, but now during the period of the jail period, if I give it to the queen and all the female protagonists in the palace, I will definitely blame him for being tired. I will not have a rest during the Chinese New Year. Yi decided to submit this consultation to the emperor and see if the emperor has made a decision.

The emperor was about to get sick in these ten days - Jingyu, Yang San, Liu Fu, all followed the queen's orders. This year, the emperor could not sneak out of the palace. If any care is unfavorable, let the emperor do something private, regardless of the reason, he would all be brought to the Shenzheng Department and beat him to death.

With such strict orders, even Jingyu was afraid. Her emperor's temper, sometimes she cherished her servants, so she played the card of sympathy for the sympathy of Yang San, Liufu and others kneeled in front of him pitifully, "Emperor, the Empress also said, if anyone can't bear to look down on his master, you will be beaten to death in the future, you will not be able to bear to leave the slaves, right? Then don't leave the palace, okay? Please?"

This method really worked. Seeing a few people kneeling in front of me, the emperor softened his heart and agreed. After only a few days, anyone began to regret it. He stayed in the deep palace all day long and was so depressed that he wanted to sneak out several times, but he was blocked because the servants were watching it tightly.

This made the emperor very angry, "I see you are becoming more and more slutty, are you masters or are you masters? Get out of here."

Everyone knelt down and begged hard. Jingyu sent someone to the queen's harem to deliver the letter. After a while, the queen arrived. The emperor immediately lost his spirit like a deflated balloon. After more than ten days, he also stopped thinking of leaving the palace and Yeyou. He did not have to write a memorial every day. He ate and slept when he woke up. During the New Year, he had gained a lot of weight.

This time, when Yang San heard that King Gong had submitted a memorial, the emperor jumped up and said, "Give it quickly."

Yang San has been so depressed that he has been so happy that he deliberately scolded the eunuch: "Hurry, why don't you take Prince Gong's memorials to see it? Hurry up, please wait and see it."

The little eunuch deliberately pretended to be busy, took memorials, brought memorials, and brought me some stationery, adjusted cinnabar, and put them aside. Even more thoughtful, he brought me a honey rose dew, a large plate of newly released "small eight pieces" in the imperial kitchen. Four or five people gathered in the Hall of Heart, busy, not like criticizing memorials, but like a group of people coaxing Long Live to play.

The emperor received this special consultation, and just glanced at it and guessed the intention of the Japanese. "Damn" he cursed in his heart, "You actually want to borrow our chickens to hatch his little Japanese eggs?"

He put the memorial aside and ordered, "Chuanyi."

Sula went to the military office to summon him, and Yi was both happy and ashamed. What was happy was that he had been in the military office for many years. Although there were occasional recurrences in the middle, he was finally the most trusted by the emperor among the court officials. After many years, he also got to know the emperor's temper. For example, if he had no certainty in his heart, he would not have summoned him to the imperial court to answer. What was shameful is that he had been in charge of the General Administration for many years and was considered to be harmonious with Western countries. He had not been in the East, but he was still in a fog and could not touch his mind.

What he was thinking about was in the Palace of Yangxin. Before he could kneel down, the emperor stopped him first, "No need to salute him. Bring a slap to Master Six, Jingyu, and pour tea."

Yi bowed to thank him and sat down on the embroidery pier. "My brother is incompetent. During this period of enfeoffment, he will still have to worry about the holy bow. I really feel guilty."

"You are left to the Military Service during the New Year to prevent and deal with such emergencies - we Chinese people celebrate the New Year, but foreigners are just there." He opened this section in a few words and asked with a smile, "Lao Liu, I envy you very much."

"Ah?" Yi was puzzled. He suddenly said this. Still envious?

"Yes, are you? Your princess and these servants are so slapped with me that I don't want to have the chance to move around. Oh, I'm going to be suffocated to death."

Yi was funny and pursed his lips and laughed, "My brother thinks that the queen is also concerned about her master. After all, the white dragon fish dress is easy to be bullied by fish and shrimps. Last year, the emperor humiliated the miscellaneous servants in the shop. After hearing this, my heart was really sad."

The emperor curled his lips and didn't feel humiliated. Are you feeling sad? He wanted to lead Yi Fengping to do something, so he would go with the flow and go out of the palace for a walk. However, the other party was not deceived. It was really disappointing to think about it like this, and he felt that Sushing was more in line with his heart.

"Emperor?" Yi looked at him pondering and asked, "This time, I am not able to resolve the difficulties of the Japanese. Please give me some advice."

"There's nothing great," he said. "The Japanese just want to take the opportunity to hatch eggs."

"Take an opportunity to hatch eggs?" Such a sentence is too vulgar. Yi has almost never heard of it, let alone explain the meaning in detail.

"The Japanese have begun to implement new policies since the 18th year of Xianfeng. Are you?"

"My minister." Yi replied, "I have been given guidance from the emperor and have discussed and taught in depth with teachers from various countries in Beijing. Although I cannot count as many people, I understand that no matter how Japanese people divide gangs and factions, the king and ministers are united and want to have a prosperous country, which is a consistent concept."

"Since you can do this, you should be able to understand the true intention of the Japanese to invite the Beiyang Navy this time, right?"

Yi suddenly thought of what he said about taking the opportunity to hatch eggs, and then he felt a sense of integration. "Can't it be that the Japanese intend to take my Qing Dynasty as their teacher..." After saying that, he saw the emperor's eyes full of smiles and he was looking at him with praise.

"My brother understands it," Yihuan shouted, "The Japanese intend to use the laws we acted in the Qing Dynasty and take this opportunity to inspire the people and even build a large-scale navy to lay the foundation for future appearance and seaside."

“By the way.”

Yi thought for a moment, then frowned again, "But, my elder brother, don't understand. If the Japanese have such ambitions, why should we borrow the power of the Qing Dynasty? Isn't Britain, France, America and the West enough to imitate them?"

"Ask thoroughly," the younger brother said such a thing, which gave the emperor a great surprise. "The reason can be explained clearly in one sentence, that is, in the hearts of the Japanese, the Qing Dynasty... no, the Chinese are all cowardly and stupid people to them. Think about it, such a country can actually become a threat to Japan, and it can be tolerated by the proud Yamato nation?"

Yi said as if he was hypnotized, "So, with the help of the power of the Qing Dynasty Beiyang Navy, the Japanese will be able to strengthen themselves?" He suddenly widened his eyes and stood up from the embroidered dock with emotion. "Your Majesty, can the Japanese dare to provoke the Qing Dynasty in the future?"

The emperor raised his head and faced Yi Mingliang Ruo Chenxing's eyes. He really wanted to say what he said to him, but finally he sighed, "This..., it doesn't have to be a worry for you, my king and my ministers now, let's see in the future."

Yi was very disappointed and thought that taking advantage of the opportunity to gather with the emperor during the New Year holiday, he could hear him say more shocking words. He didn't expect the final result to be as usual. The fourth brother of the emperor showed his strength and then stopped and shrank again?

"Emperor, if the emperor had known that the Japanese had such a plan, why would he have left this trouble to raise a tiger?"

"What you said is too much. It's called raising a tiger a disaster? Do you think that the Japanese will really become the enemy of my Qing Dynasty?" The emperor stared at him coldly, "Lao Liu, you are the foreman of the General Administration. If you have such thoughts from you, what if the people below do it? What if you really have diplomatic disputes between the two countries?"

Yi was stunned. This was completely contrary to what I had just happened. Then he thought about it and understood that the emperor was also deliberately singing a play in front of the court officials in the future, so he would answer according to his tone. "Yes, it's all my brother's place. I dare not speak randomly in the future."

Hearing him recognize him like a child, the emperor forced a smile, "Sit down, Lao Liu, sit down and talk to the fourth brother."

Yi felt aroused in his heart. He hadn't heard of himself like this for many years. He bowed and agreed and sat down on the embroidery pier. "Lao Liu, it's not that I don't want you, but some things are easily changed when they are passed down by people. Is this the common people, let alone me?"

"...Sima Wen once said in the Zizhi Tongjian that a ruler must be careful in movement and stillness. If it comes from it, it must be reflected outside. All the world knows it. You, I, the king and the ministers must be cautious and cautious."

When Yi was studying in the study room, his studies were very good, and "Zizhi Tongjian" was also a must-learn classic for princes and companions to read. The emperor's words were published in "The Chronicles of Emperor Wu". At that time, Emperor Wu appointed Zhao Jieyu from Hejian as his new favorite and ordered him to live in Gouyi Palace and was pregnant for fourteen months and gave birth to Liu Fuling. Emperor Wu liked this child who was born in his later years very much. He said that Yao, the ancient sage king, was born in fourteen months and now Gouyi is the same." He was happy for a moment, so he ordered the door he was born to be Yao's mother's gate.

This incident was just a whim of Emperor Wu's heart, but later it was used by others, which caused the witchcraft disaster, and the prince ended up in a miserable ending in a different place. Therefore, Sima Guang had a comment here, saying that the emperor should always do things, because once someone acts according to his heart, it may be used by the people below, causing extremely bad effects.

Yi naturally did this allusion, and then it was related to the topics that the king and his ministers talked about today, as well as the strange remarks he suddenly came to see, so Yi understood them all, "My brother understands it. Please rest assured, and I should be cautious in the future and not be confused by the Japanese side."

"That's it." The emperor said, "As for the request made by the Japanese, I think it's better to do it early than to do it late. This is also a very bad way to promote our country's power. After the beginning of the year, the military office sent the court to Shandong and Liaoning provinces to the admirals stationed in various places to prepare for the preparation. By April, when spring is in full bloom, the fire will be immediately set off and the island will be crossed to Japan."

"Yes." Yi agreed again. Seeing that there was nothing else, he was about to kneel down.

"Lao Liu, there is one more thing, you sit down first, sit down." When Yi sat down, he said, "You are forty years old this year, right?"

"Yes." Yibu agreed vaguely to ask this.

"Something is enough. You can't hurt the hearts of the younger generation because of resentment from the past, huh?"

"I am confused about what the emperor said."

"You are not puzzled, but you just refuse to forgive him." The emperor sighed, "Zheng'er... Although he is unfilial, he is no longer here. Why do you want to hate the rest of the Xu, and you don't even recognize the blood he has born? Lao Liu, you are not young anymore. You are scattered every day and return to the mansion, facing the cold house and stove..." Seeing his expression unconscious, the emperor didn't say anything further.

Yi's eyes were filled with tears. He listened to the emperor's heart. There were two waves in his heart. One was Zai Cheng who died early, and the other was Zai Cheng, who was born in the 16th year of Xianfeng. Later, he was adopted by Lao Jiu Yi Jian, which made him feel empty.

Zaicheng had a lot of random troubles in the capital back then, and many women gave birth to children for him, both men and women. After he died of illness, the housekeeper also tactfully introduced the poem, wanting to ask the prince to nod, choose a few people who are still old and can be trained to take them back to the mansion, and grow up in the future, and perform filial piety in front of Nazu. But Yi hated this unfilial son, and he also hated the rest of Xu and the housekeeper's words. This is what the emperor said today.
