Episode 108: Being invited to have tea

Before the Fourteenth Princess came to have dinner, she also had some mental preparations and made several guesses, but this matter was beyond her mental preparation.

First, the three families divided the Prime Minister and Qing dynasties, but she didn't expect this. Because Japan has always been on the side of the Prime Minister and Qing dynasties. Even the fourteen princess with a dark side in his mind had never expected that for his own interests, Japan could turn against each other faster than reading books.

But even less prepared, Kenji Doihara actually proposed to support himself as the remaining queen of the Qing Dynasty.

Under the smile of Kenji Doihara, the Fourteenth Princess could no longer hold her face, and her expression could no longer be controlled. The Fourteenth Princess glanced at him quickly, took a deep breath, and a flush surged on her face. After several seconds of deep breathing, she suppressed the excitement and returned to normal on her face.

Watching the changes on the face of the fourteenth princess, Kenji Doihara was very satisfied: she was still young after all, and after hearing this news, she could not control her joy. - To be honest, even the most scheming old man could not completely control the surprise expression.

Compared with Kenji Doihara, the Fourteenth Princess is still relatively tender. However, the Fourteenth Princess is not as tender as Kenji Doihara.

She immediately wondered if this was a conspiracy...what type of conspiracy? The simplest: sow discord.

...The Japanese cooperated with the Beijing government to invite itself to talk about something shameful - such as retaining a piece of Qing regime and allowing itself to serve as the queen - and then hiding a recorder, recording his conversations, and then handing them over to relevant departments in Nanjing, relevant personnel...such as Dongchang, Shen Rongxuan, and Zhu Yourong. Then, his already extremely sensitive identity was proven to have great ambitions, at least he would be untrusted in the future.

The fourteenth princess' minds quickly turned around, and there was a possibility of getting along with each other now. This was also the most dangerous and direct possibility.

Moreover, she immediately made further analysis of this danger:

It is difficult to judge whether the fourteenth princes are tolerated by the Southern Ming Dynasty when conspiring with Japan to "dividing the Northern Qing Dynasty" with the three families. However, this is not very important, because the Southern Ming may not agree or agree. At least it should be discussed. If Japan abandons the Northern Qing Dynasty and secretly joins the Ming Dynasty to attack the Northern Qing Dynasty, this is a way for the Southern Ming Dynasty to quickly break the deadlock and exchanges the greatest benefits at the lowest cost.

The danger is mainly concentrated in the fact that oneself and Japan conspired to retain the "Northeast Qing Dynasty" and planned to serve as the queen of the "Northeast Qing Dynasty". Once the official of the Southern Ming Dynasty knew about it, then his status would be in danger.

...

Thinking of this, the Fourteenth Princess decided not to take this risk for the time being. This is not a place to talk about such things.

She stood up and said with a smile:

"Tonight, thanks to Mr. Martial Attendant and Miss Asakura's kind hospitality. It's getting late, so I don't want to bother you..."

Kenji Doihara was a little stunned, looked up at her, and then slowly smiled after a while:

"Ah, Your Highness the Princess is going back so early? This... I am really sorry for the poor hospitality..."

The fourteenth princess smiled and said:

"Where, you're too polite."

A tacit smile appeared in Kenji Doihara's eyes, nodded, and led the way in front of him helplessly, and invited the fourteenth princess back to the living room.

Sako Asakura and the four men and women in the living room were both surprised and stood up one after another, looking at the fourteenth princess. Kenji Doihara smiled and explained to her, saying that the princess was tired, and it was not too late, so let's send her back to her house.

Several people looked at the clock hand that was only 8:30. Although they didn't understand what was going on, they were very cooperative and respectfully sent the fourteenth princess out.

After leaving the front hall door and coming to the garden in front of the room, the fourteenth princess held Sako Asakura intimately and turned her head to whisper. The few people behind immediately knew what to do, slowed down, and distanced themselves from the two ladies in front.

The fourteenth princess said softly to Sako Asakura:

"I'll invite you out for dinner tomorrow night."

Sako Asakura was a little surprised and nervous, and nodded quickly.

...

The fourteenth princess got into his bulletproof car, returned to his mansion, and thought about it all the way in the car.

She is the opposite of Zhu Yourong. Zhu Yourong is in the center of power and has no desire for power. But the Fourteenth Princess is very power-oriented. She is unwilling to be mediocre. This condition put forward by Japan is so tempting. It was so tempting that the Fourteenth Princess was scared away that night and did not dare to talk about a word.

This is clearly a pie falling from the sky. And people with a little brain know that the beauty of pie falling from the sky must be very careful. It is very likely that it is not a pie, but a trap.

But thinking about it on the other hand, what Doihirahara said was also right. If you really want to find a monarch for "Northeast Qing", it would be difficult to have a better suited person than her Fourteenth Princess. She is the only person who can consider it from the standpoint of the Ming, Qing and Japanese sides at the same time, and is also of noble origin and a member of the Aisin Jueluo clan. If you deduct a female identity, it will be completely legal in blood.

As for the identity of women, since there are examples from the Southern Ming Dynasty first and the support from Japan, is it still a barrier?

The fourteenth princess leaned against the wide ostrich leather backrest, her cheeks were flushed red, and her chest was leaping, making her so excited that she couldn't help herself.

...Really, if it really came true, she would do anything.

...

But the Fourteenth Princess has been practicing for more than ten years in conspiracy and calculations. It is impossible for her to be intoxicated by wishful thinking. Soon, she forced herself to put away yy and think about something sober.

First, if Japan really feels that the Northern and Qing Dynasties is an A Dou who cannot be helped and instead wants to divide the Northern and Qing Dynasties with the Southern Ming Dynasty, then why should it retain a piece of Qing regime in the Northeast?

Second, if we really want to retain a piece of the Qing regime, do we really need to be the queen by ourselves?

It is true that I do meet the requirements in terms of my origin and bloodline, in terms of understanding and closeness to Japan. However, Japan left a "Northeast Qing Dynasty" for whatever reason, I definitely hoped that this regime would be obedient and even become a "quasi-colonial", that is, it was similar to the state before North Korea was officially "incorporated" to Japan.

Then, for Japan, the other conditions of the emperor of the "Northeast Qing Dynasty" are no longer important. Obedient and easy to control are the most important. And the Japanese know their own personality and methods very well. If they become the queen of the "Northeast Qing Dynasty", then you can imagine whether they would be very obedient.

Besides, my bloodline meets the requirements. Are there fewer royal families in the Qing Dynasty? For Japan, finding another man with the surname Aisin Gioro is not very capable, scheming, or even a child with no power. Why do you have to find a woman with the ability, scheming, and scheming?

As for the Soviet Union, the fourteenth princess is easy to understand. Because the Soviet Union also attaches great importance to its interests in the Far East. If Japan and the Southern Ming families were divided and Japan dominated Manchuria and Mongolia, it would be too exciting for the Soviet Union. If we don’t feed this polar bear, everyone would have to eat this meal with great fear.

Japan may be thinking: if it is allocated to the Soviet Union a Central Asian place, at least it will not cause trouble and tolerate Japan's expansion on the Northeast Asian continent. As for that place, although it is theoretically "Northern Ming", not to mention today's Southern Ming, even if the Northern Ming was in its heyday hundreds of years ago, was it really controlled? From the standpoint of the Southern Ming Dynasty, it would be better to throw the Gobi Desert to the Soviet Union and quickly take it back to the Yellow River Basin in North China, and at least restore the control range of the Northern Ming Dynasty.

...

The fourteenth princess returned to the princess's mansion. Seeing that it was still early, she wanted to call Xiang Xiaoqiang to come. She wanted to talk about this matter with Xiang Xiaoqiang and discuss it with him.

In the first fourteen princesses, they made their own ideas, they were brave and capable, and they had great confidence in themselves. But recently, they didn’t know what happened, but she became more and more like an authentic woman. She always regarded Xiang Xiaoqiang as a big tree, and she was a vine wrapped around the tree.

The fourteenth princess pressed his hand on the phone receiver, hesitated for a while, and finally decided not to tell anyone about this matter... If there are only three companies that divide the contents of the Peking and Qing dynasties, it can be said that. Not only can they tell Xiang Xiaoqiang, but they can even tell the cabinet. Then there is nothing shameful.

But now there is a key content behind it - Japan wants to invite itself to be the queen of the future "Northeast Qing Dynasty". This is too crazy, and Xiang Xiaoqiang may not be in the same position as him. He wants to marry himself home and be a virtuous supporter.

Thinking of this, the ambition of the Fourteenth Princess who had just been teased by the "Empress Dream" encountered a gentle tremor... Alas, let's be a joke, can that boy afford to marry two queens?

No matter what, I will talk about it later tomorrow. I hinted that Sako Asakura would explain to her the most detailed explanation of Kenji Doihara tomorrow.

...

The next morning, Zhu Yourong called and intimately invited the fourteenth princess to the fortress for tea.

The Fourteenth Princess was really shocked. She just met Dohihara last night and planned to be the Queen of the Northeast Qing Dynasty. She was invited to have tea this morning...

She was just nervous, but after thinking about it, there was no flaw. Unless the Japanese side gave Zhu Yourong information, the intention would be obvious. She didn't say a word last night, even if they recorded it, it wouldn't be able to say anything.

Since there are no flaws, I invite myself to have tea, why? I look at my words and expressions to find flaws? Just honest girls like Zhu Yourong do this?

Therefore, she judged that 80% of it had nothing to do with this matter.

The fourteenth princess drove up the mountain, entered the fortress, and met Zhu Yourong.

Zhu Yourong took her to sit down with her intimately, drank tea, had snacks, and chatted. After the greetings, Zhu Yourong mentioned the last time that Yonggui of Guangwu Sect returned property to the 14th Princess.

"Ah... Your Majesty..." The Fourteenth Princess was a little embarrassed and nervous, and smiled, "This... Actually..."

Zhu Yourong smiled and comforted:

"Sister, don't think too much, I have no other meaning. Do those things belong to my sister? He sent them back to Guangwu, so that's what I deserve. My sister doesn't owe him a favor. But last time I told Xiaoqiang that those things are far away in Europe, so my sister also intends to transport them back to the Ming Dynasty?"

The fourteenth princess lowered her head and said with a smile:

"Haha... the Ming Dynasty is currently fighting, and industrial and mining requires a lot of funds... I think that instead of letting the assets sleep in Europe, it is better to transport them back and use them in domestic investment. It can be regarded as Liaoyang doing a little effort to the Ming Dynasty's Northern Expedition..."

Zhu Yourong smiled and said:

"It's rare that my sister is so kind. But don't worry, no matter how much property we have, it's all my own money. No one will ask about how my sister deals with it. Just... I reminded Xiaoqiang that my sister may need a reliable escort ship? Haha, I'm asking my sister to come today. First, we haven't seen each other for more than a few days, so I'll talk together, and second, I want to see if I have any help to you?"

The Fourteenth Princess was completely relieved. She knew that today had nothing to do with the "Northeast Qing Empress" incident, and Zhu Yourong was unlikely to covet her own property. This should be Zhu Yourong who was winning over her.

She smiled and bowed to the end:

"Ah... Your Majesty, I'm going to tell you that Liaoyang is worried about this. Although it's not difficult to hire a ship, it's hard to guarantee that the other party will not have any intention of seeing the money... If Your Majesty can help, that would be great..."

Zhu Yourong said happily, smiling and accomplished:

"Sister, don't be so polite... This little fact is not worth mentioning... To be honest, I owe my sister a lot..."
