There are five major palaces in Seoul. The current emperor Li Xi lives in Qingyun Palace.
There are embassies everywhere around Qingyun Palace.
The scale is incomparable to the majestic Forbidden City.
This will save Zhao Chuanxin a lot of effort.
Jin Wuzhi took Zhao Chuanxin through the Dahan Gate and said, "Xiaohan Yunhan, the Dahan Gate is named after him. However, there is an allusion among the people, saying that the Japanese spy Pei Zhenzi often wears foreign clothes and foreign hats to come and go here. Gate, so it is called Dahan Gate, but that is nonsense, just folk imagination."
Zhao Chuanxin looked at the low palace gate and city wall, which was much easier to navigate than the Forbidden City.
Because there were soldiers guarding the door, they couldn't get in.
So, Jin Wuzhi took Zhao Chuanxin through Dahanmen and walked south.
While walking, he introduced the layout of Qingyun Palace to Zhao Chuanxin.
“There are three important buildings here.
The first is the Stone Hall in the northwest corner, which is a Western stone building and is the emperor’s office space. There are many files in it.< /p>
The second is the Xianning Hall, which is the emperor's bedroom in the northeast corner.
The third is the Jingguan Pavilion, which is where the emperor drinks coffee and sometimes has entertainment. The best place to hold a banquet is in the north."
Because the wall is low, Zhao Chuanxin can even see the slightly taller buildings inside. With Jin Wuzhi's explanation, he can easily understand the layout.
Immediately showed a confident smile.
He could get lost in the Forbidden City, but it was easy to figure out the small Qingyun Palace.
As for Jin Wuzhi, he only knew that Zhao Chuanxin was here to do something, but he had no idea what to do or how to do it.
He thought that Zhao Chuanxin just wanted to see the scenery of Seoul before getting down to business.
I wonder what he would think if he knew that Zhao Chuanxin was actually here to inspect the site.
After going around in a circle, Zhao Chuanxin said, "It's almost done. Let's find a hotel to stay."
The largest Western-style hotel in Seoul is the Seoul Grand Hotel.
Not far from the palace and the embassy area, Zhao Chuanxin and Jin Wuzhi lived here.
Although it is a Western-style hotel, the layout of the room has many oriental elements, such as a painting of a Bodhisattva hanging on the wall.
After traveling hundreds of kilometers, Zhao Chuanxin was really tired. He went to the hotel and locked the door, blocked the door with a table and went to sleep.
Kijiro Saito and Haruse Shinoda have arrived in Seoul.
When you come to Seoul in spring, you have to take a look at the flowers on Nanshan Mountain.
The mole on the corner of Naoko Yuka’s eye matches well with the cherry blossoms on the roadside.
Naoko Yuka's plaid striped shirt and knee-length skirt are more beautiful than Jindalai on the slope.
Naoko Yuka’s innocent smile made Shinoda Haruse forget about the spring flowers blowing in the wind.
But Shinoda Haruse didn’t want his intoxication to appear too straightforward, so he used wordsThe question changes the atmosphere: "Youxiang, are you tired? I see your face is a little pale. Why don't you go back to the Seoul Hotel to have a rest? The banquet will be held there in the evening."
Nanshan is not high, more than 200 meters. That’s it, the terrain is gentle and it’s not tiring to climb up.
But being around and liking are two different things. Like makes people happy and forget about fatigue, but being around is boring.
Naoko Yuka nodded, "Okay, Shinoda-kun, let's go back and have a rest. After the banquet, if you have time, come back to enjoy the beautiful scenery."
Shinoda Harice was worried about gains and losses. He wanted to linger with his sweetheart for a while longer at the beautiful scenery, but he was worried that Naoko Yuka would be disgusted, so he nodded and could only walk back with her.
On the way, Shinoda Haruse pointed to the cornices of the palace and said with great pride, "This place will belong to our Empire of Japan from now on."
Naoko Yuka cannot say this. Sleepy.
A look of exhaustion swept across her face, "Shinoda-kun, how do you say this?"
Shinoda Haruse said with great enthusiasm, "Last time I chatted with Commander Ito, he revealed that there were a few people this year. There are big things to do. First, to sign the Japan-Korea treaty again this year, we must take control of South Korea's legislative power. Li Xi is an obstacle, and we must find a way to make him abdicate and let Li Wei, who is easier to control, take over. The Korean army must be disbanded, otherwise they will cause us more or less trouble."
Shinoda Haruse and Naoko Yuka usually chat, if they are just talking about love, Naoko Yuka's feedback. There are some, but not many.
But Naoko Yuka would praise Shinoda's policy and talk about current affairs.
This unknowingly encouraged Shinoda to talk more about current affairs.
Naoko Yuka's face was full of admiration, "Shinoda-kun, you are amazing. Commander Ito, he doesn't even hide such important things from you. I guess he has great trust in you."
< p>This is why Shinoda Haruse prefers Naoko Yuka.Japanese women are mostly housewives who abide by the rules and are pitiful caregivers to their husbands and children.
They are good at talking about love, or about daily necessities after marriage.
But Naoko Yuka can understand Shinoda's policies in career and is also very stylish in life.
Always encourage him.
Hearing the praise, Shinoda Haruse was very happy, but then he thought of something and sighed, "Hey, it's a pity that damn Zhao Chuanxin ruined my rhythm of action. I'm afraid it will be difficult for Ito to come this time." The commander-in-chief has a perfect answer."
"Don't be discouraged, Mr. Shinoda, Zhao Chuanxin is just a warrior, nothing special. The general trend of our Japanese empire is that Zhao Chuanxin is just a mantis."< /p>
After hearing this, Shinoda Harice was really excited, "Yuka, you are right, these are just small details and have nothing to do with the overall situation."
In the morning, Jin Wuzhi waited and waited. Before Zhao Chuanxin got up, he couldn't help but knock on the door.
Zhao Chuanxin moved the chairs and tables away and unlocked the door.
The door creaked open.
He was wiping his wet hair with a towel and looking at Jin Wuzhi "What are you doing?"
"Mr. Zhao, are you okay during the day?"
Jin Wuzhi thought Zhao Chuanxin has to work during the day.
Zhao Chuanxin threw the wet towel on the table casually, "It's dark and windy, and they kill people and set fires. Who do you think is so full in broad daylight?"
What do you mean by Cao?
Why did you kill people and set fires?
Jin Wuzhi was full of worries about the personal safety of this trip.
"Ha, Mr. Zhao, don't be joking."
"No joking, you should go back to rest and recharge your batteries. Go out as little as possible if you have nothing to do, so as not to spill blood on yourself."
The more you talk about it, the scarier it gets.
Jin Wuzhi smiled bitterly, "I've had enough rest, there's no need to recharge my batteries."
"Believe me, it's necessary. Go and order a meal for me and have it delivered." Come to the room, let's have a good meal in the hotel restaurant in the evening, and then it's time to take action." Jin Wuzhi saw that Zhao Chuanxin was really not joking, and he felt more and more uncertain, "Mr. Zhao, What are we going to do?"
"The first task is to exchange paintings, and the second is to study military affairs. If possible, we will also visit some royal treasure exhibitions and so on."
Jin Wuzhi. I can't turn my head.
It seems to sound normal.
A little relieved, he exited Zhao Chuanxin's room.
When he went to the front desk, he saw a wretched Japanese man and a pretty woman.
The woman wore a plaid shirt and a knee-length skirt, with stockings that flattered her legs, and a pair of suede boots underneath.
The woman held the Japanese man's arm, but not particularly intimately.
Jin Wuzhi was still a bachelor. Seeing that the woman was so beautiful, he couldn't help but feel sad. He spat, "The good cabbage has been eaten by a pig."
Waiting for him to order. Going upstairs, he saw the man and woman following him and living in a room not far from him and Zhao Chuanxin.
I was surprised to find that this couple actually lived in separate rooms.
So he shook his head and went back to his room.
Zhao Chuanxin took out the chamber pot of the old god and started playing with it in the room.
Chamber pot, chamber pot, sounds very dirty.
But in fact, the surface of the old god’s chamber pot is smooth and delicate, with no stains at all, and no weird smell at all.
Zhao Chuanxin held the Old God Chamber Pot in front of him, with confusion on his face. Since it is called a chamber pot, what is its function related to the chamber pot?
He tried Pour it to the left, tip it to the right, or place the chamber pot horizontally and shake it from side to side.
No response.
So he held it in his hand and walked around the room.
When holding the chamber pot of the Old God, his body cannot swing, and his wrists need to be steady.
Gradually, he began to get used to this walking rhythm.
Faintly, Zhao Chuanxin felt that this thing actually had the effect of training the stability of his lower body.
A man is a boy until he dies.
Zhao Chuanxin seemed to regard the chamber pot of the old god as a toy.
At this time, the waiter who delivered the food came.
Zhao Chuanxin put away the chamber pot of the old god, went to wash his hands, finished his meal, stayed bored for a while, then lay down on the bed and fell asleep again.
The sun sets in the west and the street lights turn on.
Zhao Chuanxin woke up, got up and washed his face and brushed his teeth for the second time that day.
Look at the watch, it’s still early.
He lay on the window sill and looked out, seeing the street lights flickering occasionally due to quality problems, the number of people gradually becoming scarce, and the tired birds returning to their nests.
Downstairs of the hotel, carriages and rickshaws began to stop.
The well-dressed man and his gorgeous female companion got out of the car arm in arm and walked into the hotel.
For a top-notch hotel like the Seoul Grand Hotel, there is naturally no shortage of guests at night.
Zhao Chuanxin didn’t take it seriously.
The clouds in the sky are drifting across the sky, and the evening breeze is cool.
Next, more people entered the hotel.
Time didn’t know where it came and ended. When Zhao Chuanxin felt that the time was almost up, Jin Wuzhi also came and knocked on the door.
"Mr. Zhao, are you awake?"
Zhao Chuanxian put on a dark gray wide-lapel wool suit, a specialty of Lugang Town.
Why is it said to be a specialty of Lugang Town?
Because the suits at this time were more elegant and luxurious. The suits were longer and usually had swallowtails.
However, the suit design, which is a specialty of Lugang Town, abandons elegance and luxury and chooses a simple and light style. The cut of the suit becomes shorter, visually extending the leg line, compressing the waist and highlighting the shoulders.
In this way, when the weather is cold, paired with a woolen coat, it will look very stylish when layered.
Of course, this change was made due to the influence of Zhao Chuanxin.
Then, this kind of suit entered the market through Chen Daguang's clothing store and became very popular once it came out.
When Zhao Chuanxin opened the door, Jin Wuzhi's eyes were almost blinded by Zhao Chuanxin's outfit.
Zhao Chuanxin used to wear casual clothes.
Seeing him in a daze, Zhao Chuanxin said cheerfully, "You've never seen such a handsome man before?"
People in this era are restrained in their words and deeds.
There are few people as thick-skinned as Zhao Chuanxin.
Jin Wuzhi didn’t know what to say, so he had to laugh awkwardly.
At the same time, in Restaurant No. 1 of the Seoul Hotel.
Kijiro Saito and Osamu Shinoda bit the bullet and came to Ito Hirobumi.
They thought that Hirobumi Ito would not look down upon them, but unexpectedly, the supervisor gave them a spring-like smile.
Before they could speak, Ito Hirobumi said, "I heard about your work., we are in trouble."
As a subordinate, Harusaku Shinoda has the responsibility to top up the cylinder for his superiors when necessary.
He stood up and bowed and said, "I'm sorry, Commander Ito, it was my mistake. This caused Saito-kun's plan to go awry. "
Kijiro Saito was moved in his heart.
This is the reconciliation between the general and the prime minister.
Hirobumi Ito nodded with a smile, "Young man, It's good to experience some setbacks. However, the way you responded makes me very dissatisfied. "
The two of them felt nervous. Are they really going to be punished?
We can't always let Shinoda Haruse take the blame. Saito Kijiro bowed forward, "Please also make it clear to Commander Ito. . "
Ito Hirobumi put his hands behind his back, "You came here this time because you want me to send a note to the Qing court, declaring that the rebel army is a bandit, so that you can find an excuse to station troops on Jiandao, right?"
It has to be said that as the director of the Korean Unification and Supervision Bureau, Ito Hirobumi still has two skills.
The two of them were surprised. , Unexpectedly, Commander Ito had already seen through their trick.
This can be regarded as a kind of beating.
Each superior beats his subordinates in a different way, and directly reprimands them. It's the lowest level.
"That's what Commander Ito Hideaki thinks. "
Kijiro Saito admitted honestly.
Ito Hirobumi straightened his back and said, "Since the Korean farmers in the Jiandao area have misunderstood that we slaughtered their people, So why don't you take advantage of their fear? Sometimes, fear can also be a weapon. ”
Shinoda Haruse and Saito Kijiro looked at each other in confusion, not understanding what he meant.
Shinoda Haruse asked, “Ito Commander-in-Chief, what do you mean, we will take advantage of the plan?”
p>
“No” Ito Hirobumi’s face showed a hint of sternness, “I will send a note to the Qing court, and when you return, you will boldly station troops. But if there is resistance, whether it is the people of the Qing Dynasty or the Korean farmers, they will kill without mercy. Since they think we are cruel, then we will show our cruelty to them. These Koreans are all mean-spirited. If they kill a chicken to scare the monkeys, they will become as obedient as sheep in the future. "
The two of them trembled when they heard it.
"This is inappropriate. "Shinoda Harice's first reaction was to object, "If we kill people at will, it will arouse fierce resistance from them. "
Ito Hirobumi sneered and said, "You are unable to control the direction of public opinion in the Jiandao area, so why can't we control the newspapers in South Korea? Put the responsibility for massacre of the people on the rebel army, and then step on it. If you carry the navy on your back, you will die without any evidence. In addition, because of the things we are about to do in South Korea, even if they don't kill people, they will still resist. It would be better to be cruel and ruthless. ”
On the contrary, Saito Kijiro recognized this strategy in his heart.
After all, he was born as a soldier, and the cruelty factor flowed in his blood.
He immediately Said, "Commander Ito, I know what to do. ”
Ito Hirobumi again criticized ShinodaZhi Ce said, "I heard that you are collecting evidence of Jiandao everywhere and want to prove that it belongs to South Korea. It just so happened that Li Wanyong knew about our deployment on Jiandao, so he took the initiative to get several maps from the Joseon era from the palace treasury. Perhaps You can use it."
Hearing Li Wan use this person, Shinoda Zice laughed happily.
"Commander Ito, this person is really a good friend of the Japanese Empire."
The Korean traitor Li Wanyong has become known to the whole world.
Naoko Yuka, who was holding a wine glass not far away, frowned.
She had previously given Zhao Chuanxin a piece of information, saying that the Dadongyu map was in the study room of the Seokjeon Palace in Qingyun Palace.
I heard from Ito Hirobumi that some maps were taken out by Li Wanyong. Naoko Yuka’s tooth-itching Korean traitor, a national thief, has ruined my life
What if Li Wanyong took it out? There is a map of Dadongyu in the map, so Zhao Chuanxin will probably make the trip in vain.
But she was helpless because she didn't know when Zhao Chuanxin would come, and she couldn't pass the news on now.
After Shinoda Haruse and Ito Hirobumi finished talking, they came to Naoko Yuka excitedly and impatiently.
I saw Shinoda Haruse looking like he wanted to get closer but was worried that he would be angry.
Naoko Yuka smiled sweetly, reached out and took Shinoda Haruse's hand.
You still have to give sweet treats.
The muscles in Shinoda Haruse's palms trembled, feeling warm and soft, and suddenly said, "Yuka, earlier, I called home and told her that when I return to Japan, I will meet her She is divorced."
Naoko Yuka was surprised and knew that the "she" Shinoda Haruse was talking about was his wife.
Naoko Yuka never mentioned that she wanted Shinoda Haruse and his wife to divorce.
After all, the two of them even held hands for the first time today, and there had been no substantial development before. He was about to divorce his wife
Not only was Naoko Yuka unmoved, her eyes Instead, there was a hint of coldness.
This kind of man can be said to be blinded by love, or he can be said to be cold-blooded and ruthless.
Would he be a good man if he abandoned his wife and children? Obviously not.
Naoko Yuka sneered inwardly, remembering what Zhao Chuanxin once taught her about how to make a man collapse.
It seems that the net is almost closed
However, her face showed a touched look, "Shinoda-kun, you have paid too much, I, I, I I don’t even know what to say."
Seeing this, Shinoda Haruse forgot his guilt for his wife and children, and said firmly, "I just want you to live happily."
Old The god's chamber pot was bouncing up and down unconsciously in Zhao Chuanxin's hand.
He and Jin Wuzhi strolled towards the restaurant.
As soon as the two of them were about to enter the restaurant, they saw a waiter stopping them at the door and saying, "Sorry, gentlemen, Hall 1 has been reserved today, so we still have to dine in Hall 2."
Jin Wu ZhibuFull of words, "Have a meal and go around the circle"
Zhao Chuanxin said in English with a smile, "I am an invited guest, shouldn't I be allowed in?"
Waiter The student was stunned for a moment when he heard his American-accented English.
Korean people have licked so many things in recent years that they don’t even know who to admire.
Russia, the Qing Dynasty, the United States, and Japan.
When he was licking the Qing Dynasty, Yuan Datou had an affair with the beautiful Empress Mingcheng, who was the original Concubine Min.
It can be seen that this licking has spared no effort and spent a lot of money.
Later, when South Korea wanted to be pro-American, the Japanese were furious and killed Concubine Min.
For this reason, Yuan Datou also hated the Japanese.
Now that he heard Zhao Chuanxin’s American-accented English, the waiter was stunned, looked carefully, and determined that Zhao Chuanxin’s face was an Oriental face.
So, he still stretched out his hand and said, "Sir, please take out the invitation and show it to me."
Zhao Chuanxin had an invitation, so he raised his hand and seemed to be smiling. He ordered three points at the waiter without a smile.
Just as he was about to open his mouth to persuade him with his smooth tongue, the chamber pot of the old god in his hand suddenly emitted a very strong odor.
The waiter who bore the brunt bent over and "vomited". Please remember to bookmark it. The latest and fastest website is free to read without anti-theft
