Chapter 356 A truly loyal minister! (Please order and vote)
Osaka, True Testament Church.
Iwakura Gu wore a carefully preserved "antique kimono" and sat quietly in the Japanese room in the backyard of the church. A cup of tea had long since lost its heat in front of him. And he looked a little restless and kept looking.
He was standing outside the door, as if anxiously waiting for something?
He is a minister, which sounds like he is very powerful, but in fact he is a poor man. His salary is only 150 taels, which is 150 bags of white rice. The specific weight of one taru is not certain, but it is roughly the amount of rice produced per dan.
How many years can the territory be harvested in one year?
Tribute is just one taru. And it is not certain how many years the lords in Japan will collect tribute. For Iwakura, his 150 taru is equivalent to 20,000 kilograms of rice...:.\n.\nHungry
I may not die of hunger, but my whole family must be living in a tight situation.
Moreover, the endless "tightening" continues for generations, with almost no possibility of promotion and salary increase...\n.
..It’s almost none, not absolutely none!
For a minister like him who has a hard life and is starving to death, if he wants to be promoted and get a raise, there is only one possibility, and that is to collapse!
However, the little power of the Japanese imperial court cannot bring down the emperor. It can only be done by others, eating meat, and the imperial court following suit to drink some soup.
If you want to drink more, you have to seize all the power you can use!
Of course, you have to be careful. If you are not careful, you will lose your life.
After the Tokugawa shogunate was defeated by the allied forces of Britain, the United States, France, and the Qing Dynasty, it was already in turmoil. All knowledgeable people in Japan knew that the overturning war was about to begin!
Japan is likely to fall back into the Warring States Period!
For middle- and lower-level ministers like Iwakura, this is an opportunity to give it a try.
Suddenly there was the sound of light footsteps outside the door, and then the entrance door was opened. Two figures walked in. Iwakura Tomomi just glanced at it. There was a man and a woman. The man was thick and powerful, dressed in black.
Although the woman is wearing a kimono, she is a Japanese-foreign mixed race that is extremely rare in Osaka - there are still some such mixed races in Nagasaki, because the Nagasaki Prison in Japan will provide prostitutes for the foreigners on Deshima. Contraception is not used
Okay, it’s inevitable...::
Therefore, although this woman of mixed Japanese and foreign descent is beautiful, she is looked down upon by others.
The poor but noble Iwakura noticed that the woman and the black-robed man were holding hands and seemed very intimate. He quickly showed a kind smile and nodded lightly to the Japanese-foreign mixed-race rice. Then he bowed to Hong Daquan and saluted in Japanese.
Hong Daquan said: "The lower official is Iwagura Tomoshi, the attendant of the emperor, who has come here to ask for advice on something."
Inazi quickly translated Iwakura's words into Chinese,
Hong Daquan hugged a fist, then sat down cross-legged in a grand manner, and said with a smile: "Lord Iwakura, I am the clan brother of His Majesty the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and I am Hong Daquan, the president of the Japanese branch of the God Worshipers Association!"
Hong Daquan's deceptive lies were quickly translated into Japanese.
Iwakuraichi said in a low voice: "You turn out to be King Hong Tian's clan brother. How disrespectful! How disrespectful! I wonder what King Hong Tian's purpose is in sending you to Japan?"
His words were translated into Chinese by Dao Zi.
Hong Daquan had a sacred and solemn look on his face: "I have been ordered by Heavenly Father to come to Japan to spread the True Covenant and look for Heavenly Father's descendants. Heavenly Father recently sent a dream to the King of Heaven, saying that there are descendants of Heavenly Father in Japan, who have a destiny and need me.
The help of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom...:::.Iwakura-sama, do you know who is the descendant of the Heavenly Father?"
In the early morning, the sky was dim, and the huge church was dark, with only a light shining through a Japanese-style room in the backyard.
Hong Daquan sat cross-legged on the tatami, with his upper body naked, revealing his large, strong muscles. Rice's clothes were half-undressed, revealing his snow-white skin, with a respectful expression. He lay on the tatami, pressed his hands on the ground, and bowed deeply to Hong Daquan, with his forehead
She clung to the tatami. Her back was exposed in the flickering lights, looking white and delicate, with graceful lines and a full waist.
Hong Daquan suddenly stood up, strode behind her, knelt down again, held her back with one hand,
He pulled her kimono apart with one hand, and then hugged her again: "This is the last time!"
Dao Zi just sighed and said softly: "Sir, you are really...\n...\n. It's so wonderful. Dao Zi will definitely miss you in the future."
Although Hong Daquan claimed to be a drinker and not a womanizer, he was as strong as an ox and extremely powerful. Inako, a Japanese-European mixed-race woman who originally lived in Nagasaki and made a living as a gynecologist and midwife, followed him wholeheartedly.
However, Hong Daquan had other plans for her. He whispered in her ear: "Don't miss me from now on.
When you get to the palace of the Heavenly King, you are the woman of the Heavenly King. You must treat the Heavenly King wholeheartedly just like you treat me, and you must never have any second thoughts!"
"Hai!"
Dao Zi agreed, with a red face, silky eyebrows, and a respectful tone: "I will definitely serve the King of Heaven wholeheartedly from now on!"
"Well, that's right!"
After a while, Hong Daquan breathed out a heavy breath, turned the rice over, pushed away her messy hair, and revealed a rather half-and-half-foreign face: "Your daughter, I will help you raise it."
Yes, let her take my surname and call her Hong Gaomei from now on...\n."
An expectant expression flashed across Daozi's face, and she asked softly: "Then she will be a noble in the future?"
"Haha, I am a noble, and she is a noble! So, you don't have to worry about her future. When she grows up, I will definitely marry her into the royal family of the Kingdom of Heaven and make her the main wife!"
Hong Daquan was full of promises, but his calculations were ringing in his mind: "This girl is very flattering and has a bit of a foreign flavor, which is very rare. That woman Xu Yuegui said that old boy Hong Xiuquan came back to Shanghai and was incognito."
During a private visit
I just wanted to find a foreign woman, but unfortunately I didn't get what I wanted. If I send him this rice, the old boy will definitely know my loyalty... If I can be called to Tianjing for reuse, my skills
That’s where it comes in handy!”
"Sir, your kindness to our mother and daughter will be remembered by Daozi for the rest of his life!"
Tears shone in Daozi's sunken eyes, and he murmured: "If I can be favored by the King of Heaven, I will definitely repay your great kindness...::
Hong Daquan gently wiped away her tears and said with a smile: "Why are you crying? The Heavenly King is the emperor of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and he has real power...:.\n.\nIt is equivalent to the Emperor plus the Shogun of Japan!
Do you understand?"
"Hai!" Daazi nodded again.
At this time, there was a rooster crow outside, and the sky was already getting brighter.
Hong Daquan propped up the tatami with his palms, let go of the rice and stood up.
Dao Zi got up without putting on any clothes. Instead, he walked to the side of the room, opened the closet, and
He took out Hong Daquan's robe from inside, then took the robe and walked back to Hong Daquan to help him dress.
While Hong Daquan was waiting on Daozi to put on his clothes one by one, he whispered: "Remember, the destination of the ship I booked for you is Xiaguan Port in Tianjing. You must not go between Shanghai and Guagua."
Get off the boat on the island to avoid falling into the hands of King Luo Wu and King Yang Dong. You must send yourself to the palace of the Heavenly King!"
"Hai."
Daozi agreed again softly and softly.
"Welcome to His Majesty King Wu to return home!"
Suzhou, Academy Lane, inside the gate of Prince Wu's Mansion. Luo Yaoguo, who had just returned from Shanghai, got out of the carriage and
Then I saw Su Sanniang and a large group of officials, female officials, and guards from the palace kneeling down to greet her.
Luo Yaoguo hurried forward and helped Su Sanniang up. Then he looked at his wife who had just given birth to the child a few days ago and said happily: "Sanniang, thank you for your hard work!"
Su Sanniang smiled and said, "I am lucky enough to live up to my destiny and give birth to a son for the prince!"
Su Sanniang gave birth to a son for Luo Yaoguo twenty days ago. At that time, Luo Yaoguo was still on his way from Japan to Shanghai. But after arriving in Shanghai, Luo Yaoguo knew the good news immediately.
But now that he heard Su Sanniang say this in person, he was still laughing from ear to ear.
Seeing Luo Yaoguo burst out laughing, the palace officials, female officers, and guards who were still kneeling below shouted together: "Congratulations to Your Highness, King Wu!"
Luo Yaoguo laughed loudly: "Rewards, there are rewards for everyone!"
"Thank you King Wu for five thousand years!"
Everyone shouted in unison again.
Luo Yaoguo held Su Sanniang in his arms and walked into the lobby of the palace while asking: "How is Xiuying?"
Su Sanniang said with a smile: "Well, the baby will be born in three or four months. She was going to come out and kneel to welcome her. I told her to sit in the room well to avoid fetal contractions."
"Okay." Luo Yaoguo nodded repeatedly, "Sanniang, you are still considerate...\nQuickly, take me to see my son!" As he spoke, he laughed again, "Hahaha, my king.
We finally have a wife!"
Su Sanniang said with a smile: "Since Your Highness likes children so much, why not marry a few more queens? I think there are some good female officials in the palace, why not...\n.\n"
Luo Yaoguo waved his hand and said: "Sanniang, we will talk about this later. Now let me see my son...::...I only need you to take care of me tonight. You and Xiuying have to give birth to a few more for me!"
Su Sanniang laughed softly and said: "You know how to bully me and Xiuying 1
While the two were talking, they walked into the lobby of the palace. A nurse in her thirties with bulging breasts came up to her holding a fat and white baby. Su Sanniang immediately hugged her son who had just finished drinking milk and was sleeping soundly.
,
As if to demonstrate his merit, he held it up to Luo Yaoguo with a smile on his face.
