Zhou Weiguo listened to the old man's words and nodded slightly, "Yes, but I first need to confirm whether this puppet emperor wants to cooperate? Or, in other words, whether he has the qualifications to cooperate. If he is too cowardly and useless, I will not
Choose to cooperate with him.”
The old man frowned, a little dissatisfied with the disrespect in Zhou Weiguo's language, but he didn't say anything, because Zhou Weiguo was right, after all, this was part of the war. Collaborators were very important, and it was normal for Zhou Weiguo to inspect them.
"So, you want to see the emperor through me first?" The old man's tone was quite certain.
Zhou Weiguo nodded, "Yes. The old gentleman also knows that Emperor Puyi is being watched very closely now. Even if he wants to come out, he will be accompanied by Japanese soldiers. It sounds like protection, but in fact it is just surveillance. Although he can't go out there most of the time.
The so-called imperial palace, but I know that if the old gentleman wants the emperor within the palace walls, he can still find a way."
The old man nodded. Indeed, although Puyi is a puppet, sometimes he still needs to be comforted. Once a month, he will almost go in to see the last little emperor, "How can I trust you?"
Zhou Weiguo smiled and said, "If you don't believe it, there's nothing you can do about it, right? What's more, I won't be sent by the Japanese."
The old man thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. The Japanese did not need to take action against them, the Manchu relics. They still needed Puyi to calm people's hearts. "I agreed. I will take you to see Long Live Lord first, but I can guarantee that,
Even if you see it, there will still be Japanese soldiers watching. As for what to do next, it depends on you."
Zhou Weiguo nodded, "Thank you very much, old gentleman. As for the time, I don't know when it is?"
"I haven't gone to see the emperor this month. When will it be convenient for you? If possible, you'd better get a braid." The old man said.
"The braids are not a problem. As for time, I can do it anytime. What time does the old gentleman go on weekdays?"
"Usually it's the 13th of every month, so there are only two days left."
"Okay, then I'll come back the day after tomorrow and have my braids and clothes ready."
"Um."
…
After walking out of the mansion, Liu Zhihui kept smiling, "Brother, when the time comes to see the little emperor, can I go?"
Zhou Weiguo rolled his eyes at Liu Zhihui and said, "No, you have to wait outside and be ready to respond at any time."
"Response to what?"
"Although we followed people in, it doesn't mean we will be safe. Do you understand what I mean? This is the territory of the Japanese now, so we must be on guard against others." Zhou Weiguo spoke. From the beginning, he did not completely trust him.
However, this old gentleman is still easier to trust than the Japanese.
After meeting the little emperor, Zhou Weiguo felt that this trip to Xinjing was not boring at all.
To be honest, seeing the characters in the history books again and again made Zhou Weiguo feel quite amazing. He really wanted to know what they were thinking at that time, why they did it again, and whether it was true as history said. Everyone was divided.
Liu Zhihui nodded helplessly after hearing Zhou Weiguo's words, because he knew that what Zhou Weiguo said was right.
After the two of them walked out of the mansion, they looked around and made sure no one was following them, then walked towards the street.
Regarding the braids, Zhou Weiguo thought for a while, and he should be able to get them at the theater troupe. Then, if he puts a braid on the back of his head, puts on a hat and a mandarin jacket, he will look like one of the old people of the Qing Dynasty. But
, I wonder if the Japanese will search you at that time?
If you were to search your body, your hat would definitely be checked as well, which would give away your secret.
However, I don’t know if the current cosmetics industry is as developed as it was in later generations. Or, in other words, if there is such a thing as disguise.
Zhou Weiguo glanced at his watch and saw that it was almost ten o'clock. After thinking about it, he planned to find a place to drink some tea and then find out if there were any famous theaters.
…
"Father, it's time for you to take medicine." In the mansion, a middle-aged man took the medicine and sent it into the side hall. He saw his father tightly holding the box containing century-old ginseng. He was surprised for a moment, but he didn't
Say more. If your father likes it, then give it to him.
"Well." The old man came back to his senses, took the medicine bowl from his son's hand, drank the medicine in one breath, and then said, "The morning after tomorrow, that little brother Zhou will come again today, please remember to give me some medicine."
He opens the door. By the way, prepare a braid and a mandarin jacket."
"Father?"
"Don't ask anything, don't say anything."
"yes."
"After all, the land we are standing on is still our Chinese land, not the Japanese's!" The old man squinted his eyes and sighed, "Remember, don't say anything outside."
"My child understands!" Although the middle-aged man was dissatisfied with his father who always regarded him as a child, he also understood some of his father's complex feelings. He still remembered the meeting he had made when he followed his father into the palace.
How about the little emperor?
It seems that the two people who came today are not sponsored students at all.
But some anti-Japanese forces.
Picking up the medicine bowl, the middle-aged man said goodbye to the old man, and then walked out of the room, squinting his eyes. He had long been dissatisfied with the Japanese rule of this area. He still remembered that when he was a child, he was the king of children, even
So, even some adults didn't dare to offend him, but now, they were living here with their tails between their legs, and as long as they were Japanese, they dared to look at them, which really made him very unhappy.
Originally, he had long wanted to ask his father to contact the Manchu elders and the like, and then unite with the forces of the Anti-Japanese Alliance or the National Army to drive the Japanese out first.
After all, the problems in the three eastern provinces should be their internal conflicts in China.
It is not for the Japanese to interfere.
Now, it has become a springboard for the Japanese to attack the Central Plains.
"It seems that Little Friend Zhou has quite a background." The middle-aged man touched his short beard and murmured to himself, "For such a big thing, I need to know the whole process!"
"Mr.Zhou?"
The man narrowed his eyes, and an idea flashed in his mind.
…
On Zhou Weiguo's side, he had indeed found a teahouse.
I casually shouted some tea with Liu Zhihui, and then started to ask the waiter, "Xiao Er, do you know that there is no opera troupe here?"
"A theater troupe?" The waiter put down the teapot and tea and thought for a moment, "Sir, it depends on what show you want to see?"
"Of course it's Beijing Opera!"
"Then I recommend you to go to Chunman Garden!"
"Chunmanyuan?" Liu Zhihui read on the side, secretly complaining in his heart, this name... doesn't sound like a serious place.
"How to go?"
"Hey, after leaving our teahouse, go straight north, about two miles away, you can see the sign."
"Okay, thank you very much." Zhou Weiguo took out a yen and threw it to the waiter.
