After the old Buddha sat down, he squinted his eyes and looked like he was wandering away from the world and not caring about the world. But the ministers present all knew that this old woman was very shrewd. If you really think that she doesn't care about the world, then it's a big mistake.
So wrong.
After the ceremony, Cixi coughed lightly and glanced at Li Lianying next to her. Li Lianying said sharply in his unique drake voice:
"According to the decree of the Queen Mother, what is the outcome of the peace talks with Japan?"
A bunch of ministers looked at me and I looked at you, but they didn't even intend to speak. Except for Tan Sitong, who was "lucky" to get into the position now, who among the people here has not been in the officialdom for decades.
?
They all know it in their hearts. Now that the people have become wiser, there is a lot of commotion in the newspapers outside, and all kinds of rumors are flying all over the sky. Some even say that the bannermen's hard-core crops will be used to supplement the little devils---
----This violates the taboo of those bannermen.
People all said that whoever took the initiative to make this contract was the national thief mentioned in the newspaper, Qin Shi! That would be infamy for thousands of years. Even if you are not afraid, your descendants will be reviled by others.
Seeing that the whole hall suddenly turned cold, Cixi's expression suddenly dropped. She was only afraid of two things:
Of course, from this point of view, it is unlikely that Li Gongzhang will become Song Taizu.
Of course, another thing is that Emperor Qixiang is coming to seize the power in her hands!
If Japan had been defeated during the Sino-Japanese War, Li Gongzhang would have separated from her, Tan Sitong and Song Yuren from the Imperial Party were very close, and Weng Tongsu, the troublemaker, might have been kidnapped by them.
What will public opinion do?
Therefore, Cixi gritted her teeth today and made up her mind to finalize the treaty with Japan! As for the loss of face, it doesn't matter what the compensation is. Foreigners cannot shake the foundation of the Qing Dynasty. The real threat to her status is here.
people inside the temple.
So Cixi also lost her face and said in a sharp voice:
"You all didn't say anything, do you think this matter can be postponed? It has been delayed for three whole days. Today, no matter what, we must make a regulation, and then ask the emperor to issue an order to the world!"
Then she looked around with sharp eyes, finally stopping at Shi Duo, who she had supported with her own hands, and said coldly:
"Prince Li, you are the chief military minister, please tell me!
"
***
On the side of the Qing court, there was already a raging storm.
Fang Linyan is still on his way here, and this time his goal is to go straight to Tokyo!
To be honest, Fang Linyan's progress at this time was much faster than expected. The fundamental reason was thanks to Hattori's Quick Ninja Talisman, which saved him a lot of time on the way.
All this intelligence and clues were not obtained in vain, but were obtained by relying on a large amount of burning Biskar data streams!
Even the Mark of Mobius warned that if you want to make a comeback, it will be a very tortuous and dangerous road. All events are like a chain, and if any link goes wrong, it will directly lead to the previous events.
It becomes useless.
More importantly, there are several probabilistic events mixed in, which even the Mobius Mark cannot be sure of.
For example, with the Mark of Mobius, it is not certain how effective the Death-Sniffing Fang can still be. After all, it has been a weapon forged for more than 200 years, and its probability of breaking the barrier is only about 70%.
Once Fang Linyan is unlucky and encounters the 30% chance of sniffing death teeth, the whole plan will almost come to nothing, because what Fang Linyan wants to do must be completed before the Qing Central Committee formally surrenders and surrenders, and this matter
The decisive sign of the matter is that Emperor Qixiang issued the relevant imperial edict and ordered the world!
Therefore, Fang Linyan had no chance to start over again.
But even so, Fang Linyan smashed out all the Biskar data streams without hesitation. In fact, he knew very well that it was unreasonable to do so.
However, at this time, Fang Linyan no longer considered the gains and losses at all. Ever since he learned that the Qing court intended to sue for peace, there was an indescribable fire burning in his heart. He also felt that if he just accepted his fate,
, if I leave, I will probably regret it for the rest of my life.
Just as Fang Linyan was hurriedly walking, he suddenly felt something in his heart and found that two things in his private storage space floated automatically, and then glowed red, seeming to be resonating.
These two things are none other than the Great Ming Dynasty Army Flag that I obtained earlier!
Fang Linyan also suddenly remembered that mission:
"You have triggered a collection and synthesis mission. Please successfully collect the Ming Dynasty flag (star) into the bag."
"Since you have already collected two of the military flags, when the Ming Dynasty military flag (star) is 100 meters away from you, you will get the corresponding response."
After discovering this incident, Fang Linyan was still in a hurry, but it was just a casual thing and could not be delayed for a few minutes, so he immediately looked around the surroundings and found that this was a quite prosperous place in Kyoto.
on the street.
Most of the shops on both sides of the street sell kimonos, imported goods, and other items. There are also several antique shops, so it is actually normal for those things to appear here.
In this case, without even looking at the arrow prompts on his retina, Fang Linyan walked directly into the antique store next to him. After looking at two stores, he found what he wanted: the Ming Dynasty Military Flag (Star).
It can be seen that this shop owner is a person who knows the goods. This Ming Dynasty military flag (star) is very well preserved and placed in a conspicuous position in the shop. It seems that he intends to make it a treasure of the shop.
As soon as Fang Linyan entered the door, he was too lazy to deal with it and went straight to the point and asked the shop owner if he could sell it.
Fortunately, the boss was usually quite open-minded and straightforward in doing business. Although he saw that Fang Linyan liked this thing very much and was determined to win it, he didn't dare to open his mouth and directly quoted the price according to the psychological price of making a lot of money.
Fang Linyan haggled a little and bought it directly, making the boss a huge profit.
If you encounter the kind of profiteers who want to maximize profits and deliberately want to hang Fang Linyan, the outcome will probably be difficult to predict. Fang Linyan is already very anxious now. It is possible that he will fall out on the spot and kill and rob.
After receiving the three flags, Fang Linyan received a prompt saying that he had successfully completed the collection and synthesis task, and at the same time, a clear prompt began to appear on his retina:
"Contractor No. CD8492116, you successfully collected the Ming Dynasty Military Flag (Sun), the Ming Dynasty Military Flag (Moon), and the Ming Dynasty Military Flag (Star)."
"As a member of the Chinese nation, you have successfully collected the cultural relics of the Ming Dynasty that have been scattered overseas, and reunited the loyal souls attached to the flags. Therefore, the three flags will merge into one, and their rank will be improved accordingly."
After this prompt appeared, Fang Linyan saw the three flags glow red at the same time, and then slowly merged together. After a while, Fang Linyan got the prompt:
"Contractor No. CD8492116, congratulations on successfully obtaining the prop, the Great Ming Dragon Flag!"
"Da Ming Dragon Flag."
"Quality: dark gold."
"Explanation: This is a battle flag given by the emperor of the Ming Empire to the commander of the expedition. The dragon flags of the Ming Empire are gathered on it. It will be flying among the Chinese army, symbolizing the core location of an army and the entire army.
The spirit and energy of the people, and the souls of the heroes who died in battle will also gather on this dragon flag."
"The number of heroic souls remaining in the dragon flag is nine."
"Use: Inspire the remaining power in the Great Ming Dragon Flag, causing the heroic souls attached to the flag to appear, and then follow you and charge with you! Before the remaining heroic souls in the Great Ming Dragon Flag are exhausted, you cannot
Even if you are tired and in pain, you will only receive 30% of the enemy's damage."
"The strength of the heroic souls summoned from the Ming Dynasty Dragon Banner has a great relationship with your basic attributes and health. All heroic souls have two passive skills and one active skill."
"Passive skill: bloody battle. Once the heroic soul is summoned, it will lose 2% of its maximum health every minute, but there is a chance that it will recover its health when it kills the enemy."
"Passive skill: Fire Guard. When being attacked by firearms or flames, the damage will be reduced by 33% and there is a 33% chance of evasion."
"Active skill: The king dies in the country, and the emperor guards the country. After activating this skill, the heroic soul will self-destruct within three seconds, causing 100 points of damage to all enemies within five meters nearby, and enemies affected by this skill will be affected next
sustained damage within one minute."
"This continuous damage is triggered every ten seconds. When triggered, it will cause huge pain and cause 80 points of damage. This skill can be superimposed."
***
Being able to unite the three flags into one in Kyoto and accomplish this task unexpectedly can be regarded as an unexpected surprise to Fang Linyan.
Next, Fang Linyan continued to rush towards his destination, which was Sensoji Temple in Kyoto. As one of the most famous temples in Japan, there were of course many tourists here, and the five-story pagoda in Sensoji Temple was Fang Linyan's destination.
This tower is also very famous. It is said that the eminent monk Kukai imprisoned a total of thirteen monsters in the tower, so some people can occasionally hear the painful whines of the trapped monsters in the tower.
According to the text instructions on his retina, Fang Linyan did not climb the tower, but walked around the tower several times, and then found a big tree next to it.
This large tree has lush branches and looks like it is hundreds of years old at least. The huge trunk can accommodate at least five or six people hugging each other. And because most tourists are attracted by the scenery of the five-story pagoda, they directly ignore this remote place.
small garden.
Fang Linyan pressed his hand against the big tree, felt its rough bark, and then took a deep breath.
Because, next is the time to gamble your luck for the first time,
