On the third day of July, the sun was shining and the weather was bright.
On this day, the palace gates opened wide.
Inside the palace gate, a group of soldiers were neatly lined up on both sides. These soldiers were all neatly dressed, carrying guns on their backs, holding their heads high and holding their chests high. They showed a high-spirited and energetic spirit.
Outside the palace gate, major Japanese officials gathered.
Everyone is gathered here.
At this moment, all the officials are waiting for news from the palace, waiting for them to enter. Prior to this, Li Zhen and Princess Xin Gong had entered the palace yesterday to prepare for their enthronement today.
The news of his ascension to the throne has already spread.
"Everyone, I have received news that Li Zhen, the king of Zhennan in the Qing Dynasty, wants to ascend to the throne of emperor through his identity as a consort. If this is the case, the owner of Japan will change immediately. I think we must persist, even if it is carried out Bloody advice, we must also let Li Zhen establish a member of the Japanese royal family as the emperor, and we must not let Li Zhen succeed." The speaker was a middle-aged man, and he said righteously.
Li Zhen did not spread the news of Shin Gong taking over as emperor, only the news of his enthronement.
So much so that countless officials speculated that it was Li Zhen who ascended the throne.
"I agree with Madoka Inoue's suggestion. When we meet Li Zhen this time, we must shock Li Zhen, let Li Zhen see the toughness of our Japanese officials, let him see the integrity of our Japanese scholars, for the sake of Japan's National reunification, for future development, we must try our best to strive for it." Then, another person said.
"So, I agree with this statement." The third person said.
Officials one after another agreed with Madoka Inoue's suggestion.
"Tap, step, step,,."
The sound of neat military boots came from a distance. This sound attracted the attention of all the officials. Following the sound, they saw a group of foreign soldiers approaching. They were soldiers from the five countries.
In the army, Max rode a white horse and moved forward slowly.
He was wearing a military uniform, with a long sword hanging and a belt around his waist. He was full of energy and exuded the strong demeanor of a soldier. As the saying goes, the Buddha relies on the gold and the man relies on the clothes. Max dressed up meticulously, and his appearance immediately changed. Similarly, Van Nilon, Carter and others were also full of energy. The mental outlook displayed by all of them gave people a strong and brave aura. As soon as they appeared, the officials outside the palace gate immediately exploded.
Everyone was extremely surprised.
"Look, look, Li Zhen actually turned a foreigner over. He is ambitious, he is ambitious. For the future of Japan, for the continuation of Japan's bloodline, we must fight. We must be stable, otherwise the situation will be dire. Wonderful, if we don't fight for it now, it will be even more impossible when Li Zhen takes office. Everyone, please rise up." Madoka Inoue shouted loudly.
"We must work hard for it."
The Japanese officials were giggling, and the feeling of willing to die began to permeate the air.
Max glanced at the officials present, with undisguised disdain in his eyes. These people were short, thin, fat, ugly, and all different heights. None of them were well-proportioned or too impressive. People are disappointed.
This expression immediately stimulated the Japanese officials present.
"Baga, after I go back, I will make a few paper dolls of foreigners, peel off their skin and cramps, and torment them."
"I want to do it too, I must torment them."
The whole group of people were giggling again, constantly comforting themselves mentally.
"clang,,."
A loud bell sounded. After the Japanese officials heard it, they all stopped talking. Max, Carter and others calmed down their expressions and looked at the palace gate. When they saw it, they saw only a person inside the palace gate. The soldiers cheered up and their mental outlook improved a lot. Immediately, the soldiers under Li Zhen came out and said loudly: "Commanders, please come into the palace."
Max and others nodded, strode forward and entered the palace.
This change once again stimulated Japanese officials.
It was the foreigners who entered first, not them. This, this, this clearly showed contempt for them. After Max, Cartel, Van Nilon and others all entered the palace gate, a Japanese samurai stood up and shouted He said: "Officials enter the court." With the order, the officials entered the palace in unison and headed towards the main hall.
Several of the officials thought that the foreigners were not far ahead, so they walked faster and even trotted for a while, hoping to surpass the foreigners. However, when they almost caught up with the foreigners, they were stopped by soldiers again, so they could only slow down and catch up with the foreigners. The troops walked together.
When Max entered the main hall, Zuo Zongtang, Zeng Guofan, Li Hongzhang, Yang Luchan and other civil and military officials had already arrived.
Both parties nodded in greeting and stopped talking.
Immediately, Japanese officials walked in one by one. Their positions were not in the front, because the positions in front were already occupied, and they could only queue in the back. This situation further stimulated the fragile hearts of all Japanese officials, making They have to constantly comfort themselves before they can recover.
Everyone has arrived and is waiting for Li Zhen to arrive.
Max waited for a while and then asked: "When will King Zhennan come?" He asked the translator to tell him. After Zuo Zongtang heard it, he said rudely: "Your Majesty will be here soon, why are you in a hurry. "
Max hit a wall and waited quietly.
"The prince has arrived."
A loud shout suddenly sounded.
Immediately, the translator was responsible for relaying, some relayed in English, and some relayed in Japanese. Everyone looked outside the hall, waiting for Li Zhen to appear. However, the first person who appeared in their sight was not Li Zhen. , but the Princess of the Heart Palace of the royal family. This change made everyone present stunned for a moment. They did not expect it to be like this.
Immediately, Li Zhen appeared in everyone's sight, wearing a military uniform, a military cap, and military boots. His strong and tough image, not to mention all the Japanese officials present, including Michaels, Carter and others, were also stunned. commend.
The Japanese officials in the palace were discussing loudly.
The scene in front of them was obviously very different from what they expected.
The scene created by Japanese officials was Li Zhen's domineering appearance, and Princess Xin Gong was just a vassal of Li Zhen. Now Princess Xin Gong is wearing clothes that can only be worn by the emperor. She is clearly dressed like an emperor, and Li Zhen is just a vassal. There was clearly something wrong with the way ordinary soldiers dressed. Such changes made the officials very uncomfortable.
Everything they prepared was useless because of Li Zhen's arrangements. It felt like a punch on cotton. The officials looked at each other in shock.
Soon, Xin Gong walked to the emperor's seat and sat down. Li Zhen walked forward and sat down on a chair next to him. The position was obviously not as important as Xin Gong.
At this scene, Max was also stunned.
They were thinking about Li Zhen supporting a little puppet, but now the person Li Zhen is supporting is Xin Gong. To everyone's surprise, Li Zhen sat above and looked at everyone below with surprised expressions, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
