Li Zhen's mind was constantly filtering out impossible people and leaving only those with motives.
"Your Majesty, I think it's Miyamoto Yoshihiko." Li Hongzhang said.
Li Zhen smiled slightly. He quite agreed with this statement and said, "Tell me what you think."
Li Hongzhang said: "In terms of strength, Miyamoto Yoshihiko was able to send people to assassinate the commanders of the five countries. From a motive analysis, Miyamoto Yoshihiko once asked the prince to send troops to attack the armies of Britain, France, the United States and other countries stationed in Japan. His purpose was He wanted the prince to fight with the foreigners so that he could reap the benefits. Unfortunately, the prince only sent people to invite the commanders of various countries to Kyoto Prefecture for tea. The war was eliminated. It was clear that he did not intend to fight, which frustrated Miyamoto. Yoshihiko Miyamoto was unwilling to fail in Yoshihiko's plan, so he made another plan and sent people to attack the commanders of the five countries halfway, hoping to blame the prince and provoke another war."
Zhao Liewen said: "Brother Shaoquan's analysis makes sense."
Zeng Guofan shook his head slightly and said: "Although it makes sense, there is another possibility."
Li Hongzhang said: "Please ask the teacher for advice."
Zeng Guofan thought for a while and then said calmly: "Among the current suspects, Miyamoto Yoshihiko has the greatest motive, but the possibility of Emperor Xiaomei's action cannot be ruled out. Emperor Xiaomei is preparing to deal with Miyamoto Yoshihiko. Judging from the situation, Emperor Xiaomei is not a character who is willing to be lonely."
"Emperor Takamei knows about the relationship between Miyamoto Yoshihiko and the prince, and in order to drive a wedge between the prince and Miyamoto Yoshihiko, he may also send samurai to attack the commanders of the five countries, and then blame the prince. In this way, he will not only provoke a fight between the prince and the foreigners, but also It also made the prince doubt Miyamoto Yoshihiko, prompting the prince to take action against Miyamoto Yoshihiko, killing two birds with one stone."
Zeng Guofan explained it eloquently, and it makes sense logically.
After listening to the analysis of Li Hongzhang and Zeng Guofan, Li Zhen was a little unsure, but still said: "I think the probability of the royal family taking action is smaller, and the probability of Miyamoto Yoshihiko taking action is greater."
These words are unfounded and based on Li Zhen's intuition.
"Report."
A strong voice came from outside the camp, and immediately the tent curtain was lifted, and Yang Jianhou strode in. Yang Jianhou raised his hand and gave Li Zhen a military salute, and said: "Your Majesty, the little emperor of Japan is waiting outside the camp. Can you see him?"
Li Zhen raised his eyebrows and waved his hand: "Please." Yang Jianhou turned and left. Li Zhen said: "Speak of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao is here. First, observe the performance of the royal family, and then carefully consider it."
Zeng Guofan, Li Hongzhang and others all nodded in agreement, and then waited for Emperor Xiaoming to come in.
Soon, Emperor Komei led Anhito, Noda Yoo and others into the camp. Emperor Komei bowed slightly to salute, and Li Zhen waved his hand to signal Emperor Komei to sit down.
After sitting down, Emperor Xiaomei said: "King Zhennan knows what is rumored in the city."
Li Zhen nodded and said: "I heard that, the people said that I sent people to assassinate the commanders of the five countries."
A look of indignation appeared on Emperor Xiaomei's face, and he stood up again and said with certainty: "I believe this was definitely not done by anyone sent by King Zhennan. It was framed by someone with intentions and deliberately provoked King Zhennan and Britain, France, the United States and other countries. war."
Li Zhen asked: "Who do you think is the biggest suspect?"
"Of course they are from the Miyamoto shogunate, it must be them."
Emperor Komei spoke out his thoughts immediately without even thinking about it. He had already planned to deal with Miyamoto Yoshihiko, but it would still take some time before he could put it into action. Seeing that he now had the opportunity to add insult to injury and deal with Miyamoto Yoshihiko, Emperor Komei naturally spared no effort. Take action, hoping to use Li Zhen's power to attack Miyamoto Yoshihiko.
Li Zhen smiled softly and said: "Thank you for your trust, but there is currently no evidence to prove that Yoshihiko Miyamoto sent someone to assassinate the commander of the five countries. Therefore, I doubt everyone and believe no one."
When Emperor Xiaomei heard this, he immediately showed a disappointed expression. He had failed to achieve his goal, but he still stayed and talked to Li Zhen for a while, expressing their support for Li Zhen before standing up to leave.
Li Zhen watched Emperor Xiaomei leave and said, "What do you think of Emperor Xiaomei?"
Zeng Guofan was the first to say: "Your Majesty, I can't see through Emperor Xiaoming. Now there are two possibilities. One is that Emperor Xiaoming really sent people to assassinate the commanders of the five countries, but he pretended to be someone he was not. It is because he wants to use the prince's power to deal with Miyamoto Yoshihiko, and the other case is that Emperor Komei wants to clarify himself to prevent the prince from dealing with him."
Everyone nodded in approval.
Things have become complicated.
Li Zhen's brows widened and he said with a smile: "It's not a big deal. Don't worry about it too much. If you can't judge now, there's no need to judge. I still say the same thing, everyone is suspicious, and I don't believe anyone, no matter what. Miyamoto Yoshihiko and Emperor Takamei are both the subjects of my suspicion. Let us speak with facts and find out the source and the truth as soon as possible."
Li Zhen's eyes fell on Li Hongzhang and said with a smile: "Li Hongzhang, you are responsible for the matter between Miyamoto Yoshihiko and the royal family. You are also responsible for this matter. Find out the truth as soon as possible."
"Yes." Li Hongzhang replied.
…
The commanders of the five countries are stationed in the military camp.
The soldiers who went to Nagasaki to inquire about the news came back to the Chinese army's tent.
Max asked: "How is it going?"
The soldier replied: "Reporting to Mr. Commander, everything in Nagasaki remains as usual, nothing happened."
After hearing this, Max waved his hand for the soldiers to retreat, and then said: "Judging from the current news, Li Zhen's strategy of moving the tiger away from the mountain is definitely not tenable, but who is going to kill us? This must be proven. If it cannot be It proves that we may encounter more problems when we go to Kyoto Prefecture next."
"Actually, I think the matter is very simple." Carter said suddenly.
Max asked: "Mr. Carter, do you have any subtle suggestions?"
Cartel said confidently: "The bodies of all the black warriors are in our hands, and the letters proving that Li Zhen assassinated us are also in our hands. As long as we give the bodies of all the warriors and the letters proving it to Li Zhen , can cause Li Zhen a headache, and we can also use this as a reason to demand compensation from Li Zhen, etc."
Max's eyes lit up and he interrupted: "Dear Cartel, you are so smart. This is an opportunity for us to occupy the moral position while Li Zhen is in a passive situation. I agree with this statement. What about you?"
French Commander Van Nilon nodded and said with a smile: "I also agree with Commander Cartel's idea. Even if we cannot get compensation from Li Zhen, at least we can make Li Zhen apologize, and it will be much easier to deal with Li Zhen in the future. "
Commander Holland said: "I agree."
The Italian commander also said: "I agree, let's set off to see Li Zhen." The commanders of the five countries reached a unified opinion and immediately broke out of camp and led the soldiers towards Kyoto Prefecture.
