Halloween Palace is mainly based on black tone, and various buildings and palaces with strong Japanese colors have their own charm among the sand and stones.
In a Zen-like tea room with round windows, Lu Ming sat on his knees at the tea table and waited quietly.
A few minutes later, with the sound of tiny footsteps, a maid came in from the side door first. She knelt down gently and spread a black gauze blanket. Although it was an extremely low-key meeting, and both parties agreed to keep everything simple, the Queen still had other things to do.
special etiquette.
After a moment, there was a rustle of complicated clothes while walking, and a petite figure came in from the side door.
Lu Ming looked up and was slightly startled. What came in was a woman in a simple colorful kimono. In addition to being more colorful, the beautiful kimono didn't have any exaggerated shapes and decorations. However, the woman was wearing a silver mask and looked as beautiful as a dark cloud.
The bun is tied up high, and the snow-white earlobes are decorated with gorgeous silver tassels. It is simple yet noble and elegant, and has a very mysterious and charming style.
"Your Majesty, Lu Ming is right!" Lu Ming bowed slightly.
Queen Yuezhao said softly: "Your Highness, there is no need to be polite. I am a duckweed, and Your Highness still cares about my face, which is very gracious!" Her voice was very clear and tender.
After the Queen sat down, the maid withdrew, leaving Lu Ming and Queen Yuezhao alone in the room, having an absolutely confidential conversation.
Lu Ming generally knew the life story of Queen Yuezhao. Although his father did not have many heirs, he had two sons and one daughter. However, both sons died in accidents, and the throne was eventually passed to this youngest daughter.
It was the Ashikaga Kanhaku period, and Queen Tsukiteru was only four or five years old when she inherited the throne. She is only sixteen or seventeen now.
The queen was young, and Ashikaga had all the power, but she failed to balance the interests of the Kansai Group, which led Yamamoto Xiong to launch a coup and put him under house arrest.
Ashikaga seems to be an old man now, but in fact he was once a strong man. The death of the queen's two brothers is even more suspicious.
"Your Majesty, you are polite. It is really presumptuous for me to come to Kyoto with this in mind. However, Japan and Montenegro have many misunderstandings and have fought each other. If we do not handle it well and leave old grudges to our descendants, it will be a great disaster for our generation."
Wrong. I came here to take a look. I also hope to find a way to bridge the gap between the two races. In the future era, science and technology will change dramatically. We should join hands to move towards the future, instead of missing the opportunity to embrace the new era in endless internal friction."
After listening to Lu Ming's words, the Queen was speechless for a long time. After a while, she said softly: "His Royal Highness suggested that we meet and chat like friends. We should drop everything and be honest with each other without any ceremony or pomp and without showing the reporter's images. Various considerations are very important.
Appropriate, so, there is something I have always wanted to ask Your Highness. Where does Your Highness want Japan to go? By separating the north and south of Japan, does Your Highness want to divide and conquer Japan so that Japan will never have the hope of internal strife and its rise? Or do you have other ideas? Is it me?
Have you misunderstood Your Highness?"
The tone is very delicate, but the meaning expressed is sonorous and powerful.
In fact, Japan was divided into north and south, and the Kansai Group was not resolutely defeated. This put the Ashikaga regime and the Kansai Group in a delicate balance, and neither could eat the other.
Ashikaga understands this intention, and Yamamoto Yu also understands it, but they are powerless and cannot defeat their old rivals, and they do not want to give up the power in their hands. As long as they can maintain their power, they will be happy to see the current split.
And obviously, this little queen also understands, and now she breaks through this layer of window paper with even sharper words.
Queen Yuezhao is a god in the eyes of many people in Japan, but in the national game, she is completely insignificant, so it is okay for her to say these things clearly.
Lu Ming smiled: "People's ideas always change, especially politics. The current situation changes. Politicians like me, the way to deal with it will also change from time to time. At the beginning, Yamamoto Xiong was eyeing the Northern Territory, and he sent troops
When the Northern Territory was trying to gain something from the internal fight between the four major families, I had just conquered a territory. If I had biological and chemical weapons at that time, I was afraid that they would be used by Japan, because the threat to me was too great. Later,
The independence of the north and the south of Japan is something I have no choice but to do, because if Ashikaga Kanshiro really unifies Japan, then the person who will affect the expansion of his power will be me, the Montenegrin, instead of the current life-and-death conflict with the Kansai Group.
That’s why I used the technique of division and checks and balances at that time.”
After a pause, he picked up the tea cup and took a sip. Seeing that the queen was listening very seriously, he continued: "But it is different now. Japan is unified now. To me, it is not important. The opponent in my eyes is William V."
The World Group and the Henry II Group, I now hope that you and I will prosper together, work together as one body, and create a new era together."
Queen Yuezhao was obviously startled at this time and said: "Are you going to deal with Westerners in the future?"
Lu Ming laughed and said: "Your Majesty, what you said is wrong. I am talking about the William V Group and the Henry II Group. As for the many ethnic groups in the West, in my eyes, they are no different from me, the Central Asians, and you, the Japanese.
Republic is the right way. Otherwise, as long as slavery remains, it will be a disaster in the future. Why can't we imitate Henry II's slave groups and carry out genocide?"
"No matter what you said, I didn't expect that you would show your ambition in front of me..." The clear eyes of Queen Yuezhao's mask stared at Lu Ming, "Because I don't matter, right?"
Lu Ming nodded: "There is a reason for this, but I also hope that you can play a greater role in the republic of the two races in the future, so I am honest with you. Your appeal among the Japanese people is still
Very strong, but your voice cannot be heard, and you are also protecting yourself. Otherwise, if someone discovers that you really start to influence the people, you may have an accident soon, and the next king of Japan will be from you.
I chose my uncle’s lineage.”
Queen Moonlight is silent.
Lu Ming smiled: "But now that I'm here, think about it, is there anything I can do to help you?"
Queen Moonlight is still silent.
"How about we become sworn brothers and sisters? According to my traditional sworn relationship in Central China!"
Lu Ming's words were so shocking that Queen Yuezhao trembled slightly and looked at Lu Ming in disbelief.
Lu Ming said with a smile: "I know that my proposal is a bit ridiculous. Some people in Japan will definitely not be able to accept the unified system of divine kings for all eternity. Suddenly, ordinary people will become the elder brothers of the divine kings. But for many things, you just have to get used to it.
And since you have become my sister, I will naturally treat you with all my heart, so I don’t have to worry about raising a tiger, right?"
Queen Yuezhao wanted to say something, but she didn't seem to know how to respond.
Lu Ming smiled: "That's just me. I've always done things inexplicably. But over the years, the rewards for inexplicable things are mostly good. Yuezhao, please think about it carefully."
At the end, he stopped saying any kind words such as Your Majesty, and addressed her directly as Yuezhao Yuezhao, as if she really had the Queen of Japan in the palm of her hand.
"If I don't agree, will it be as you said that the next king will soon be the youngest son of my uncle's family, and you will even force him to be your adopted son?" Queen Yuezhao's voice said,
There is a deep sadness underneath.
Lu Ming was slightly startled and said with a smile: "You seem to have opened up a new way of thinking for me. However, the best choice is of course you. You have been the queen for more than ten years. Although you are not old, time is everything. You are a god."
The current incarnation of the king system has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so I still hope you can seriously consider it."
As he spoke, Lu Ming stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I'm leaving!"
