In the fifteenth year of Taisho, which was also the first year of Showa, the Japanese emperor changed people. As a Manchu aristocrat supported by Japan, he sent Puyi's younger brother Pujie as the minister to attend the ceremony and came to Japan to observe the enthronement ceremony of Emperor Hirohito. For these people from China
The Manchus are dear to the family, and the Japanese attach great importance to them.
Ma Xingkong and Matsumoto were arranged to protect these Manchurian nobles. Matsumoto was responsible for peripheral security. Because Ma Xingkong was fluent in Chinese, he was specially arranged to be beside Pu Jie as an attendant and became a personal attendant. He was said to be an attendant.
In fact, he was the one who took the bullet for Pu Jie.
During this period, the activities of the Chinese Revolutionary Party were very rampant, and there were also many spies sent by the Revolutionary Party and major warlords in Japan. Although the Manchus had not yet established a nation, they already had signs of it. Pu Jie had another mission this time.
, which is to discuss the founding of the country with the Japanese government.
As soon as Ma Xingkong heard that he was going to be a servant, he knew it in his heart. He was not that stupid. He would not take a bullet for an unrelated person. Because of Hashimoto's face, he just agreed and accepted some protection.
After training, the moment Pujie arrived in Japan, Ma Xingkong appeared next to Pujie as an attendant.
Pu Jie was young and very impressive. He regarded himself as a prince wherever he went. He looked displeased with everyone and always pointed fingers at the ministers who followed him. Because Ma Xingkong was appointed by the Japanese,
Pu Jie was quite polite. Even so, Ma Xingkong still didn't like this young man.
Ma Xingkong has been with Pu Jie since he landed. Pu Jie asked Ma Xingkong: "Mr. Suzuki, I don't know if you have ever been to China. China is a vast country with rich resources. If there is a chance in the future, Mr. Suzuki must go."
I will treat you well then!"
Ma Xingkong sneered: "Fuck you, I'm from China!" Of course these were just what he said in his heart, he said in Chinese with a smile on his face: "Your Highness, it is true that China has a vast land and rich resources, but it is a pity that the Qing government is weak and incompetent, and there are great rivers and mountains.
Occupied by foreign powers, and now the princes have joined forces, it is a mess, but it is far worse than Japan!"
Pu Jie frowned and felt very unhappy. He looked at Ma Xingkong and said, "The Qing Dynasty lasted for hundreds of years. All the emperors were diligent and loved the people. They did not want the people to endure the flames of war. How can this be described as weak?"
"Really? Since he is diligent and loves the people, why don't the people love the emperor? They all want to overthrow the Qing Dynasty and rebuild society!" Ma Xingkong said with a smile.
"This is what those rebellious ministers and traitors did!" Pu Jie's face turned red and he retorted vehemently: "The most annoying thing is Yuan Shikai. He forced the emperor's brother to abdicate, and he died a miserable death in the end! Mr. Suzuki can wait, and we will have the Qing Dynasty someday.
We will once again take charge of the country left to us by our ancestors!”
Ma Xingkong nodded: "I'm not that optimistic, but I'll wait and see!"
Pu Jie's daily schedule was very full, and he kept changing places to meet with various Japanese dignitaries. On the morning of the third day, according to plan, Pu Jie was going to the palace to meet Emperor Hirohito. When he got up early, Pu Jie tidied up, and specially
Put on the prince's clothes brought from China, including court beads, headband, and many flower feathers. On the thumb of his left hand is a huge jade ring, and on the four fingers of his right hand are various gemstone rings and gold-rimmed glasses.
Quite a bit elegant.
Ma Xingkong also received a set of clothes. The material was quite good, and there were various hand-embroidered patterns of pine trees, flowers and birds. The weather in November was already very cold, and the mink hat was just right. But Ma Xingkong was not used to it.
The style of the robe makes it very troublesome to go up and down the stairs.
After leaving the hotel's gate, Matsumoto had prepared the car. Ma Xingkong opened the door and Pujie got in. The car drove all the way to the palace. There was still a very long way from the hotel to the palace, and there were several excuses.
Matsumoto's security was very careful. There were Japanese soldiers guarding the streets until they reached the intersection. The streets were deserted, with not a single pedestrian.
Pu Jie asked: "Mr. Suzuki, are you always so deserted? What are the Japanese doing?"
Ma Xingkong smiled: "We all have our own things to do, and we don't have time to hang out!"
After passing three interfaces and approaching the fourth interface, a lot of people suddenly came out from the street corner to watch the excitement. The soldiers guarding the street corner were pushing out. There were too many people and it was difficult for a few soldiers to maintain order. The crowd.
While pushing forward, they shouted slogans.
Pu Jie waved frequently through the car window. He did not understand the meaning of the Japanese slogan. But Ma Xingkong listened very clearly. Those people told Pu Jie to get out of Japan. Since Pu Jie was happy, Ma Xingkong did not tell him the content.
.Looking at Pu Jie waving in the car window, Mu Yunchen gently pushed up the bamboo hat on his head, and winked at Tongming.
"Namo Amitabha!" Tongming shouted loudly. He twisted his burly body and stepped forward from the crowd. Several Japanese soldiers saw that he was a monk, and they hesitated when they took action. The Japanese, especially the people from Kyoto
They worship Buddhism very much, and monks are considered to be the people closest to Buddha in society, so they dare not attack Tongming.
Matsumoto saw it from a distance and cursed: "Baga!" He waved his hand back, and a car at the back stopped. Dozens of soldiers jumped out and rushed towards the crowd.
Tongming sat down among the crowd and soldiers, clasped his hands, closed his eyes tightly, and said nothing. Dozens of soldiers came first and formed a human wall at the street entrance to prevent anyone from rushing over.
The car built by Ma Xingkong and Pu Jie came closer to the street. Everyone's eyes were drawn to them by the bright light. On the other side of the street, above a dense pine tree, there was a black hole.
The muzzle of the gun was facing the street.
Monk Tongming is known to Ma Xingkong. From the moment Pu Jie arrived, he reported to Mu Yunchen the exact words of the people Pu Jie met and what he said. Coming to such a place today must be nothing.
Good thing. Ma Xingkong opened his eyes wide and looked around. When he saw the pine trees opposite, his heart immediately became like a bright mirror.
Ma Xingkong slowly lay down on the car chair, lowering his body as low as possible and using the car door to protect himself. Pujie didn't know what happened, so he opened the window and stuck his head out to see.
Just as the car flashed past the street, a deep muffled sound suddenly exploded on the left. Matsumoto also heard it, and immediately turned his head to look, just in time to see a burst of fire shining on the ground of the big pine tree. Then look at the front
The window of the car that Pujie climbed into just now was already broken.
"Gah...!" A harsh brake sound suddenly came to mind. Ma Xingkong immediately opened the car door. Pujie was unconscious in the back seat, and there was a pool of blood on the back seat. Ma Xingkong deliberately shouted loudly:
"Your Highness! Your Highness!" The cry was so pitiful that even the noisy crowd fell silent instantly.
