Gentlemen, listen to the sword chant

Chapter 38 Luoyang, Zhongzhou, King of Respect

Throughout the ages, there have always been some people who are selfish and lack a sense of national honor and belonging. There are too many such people, and the statement does not take it to heart.

Hitoshi Tanaka entered the casino and went straight to the third floor. He didn't bring much money today, oh, he didn't have much money in the first place.He is a samurai at Little Chiba Kendo Gym, strictly speaking, he should be considered a student.

Little Chiba Kendo Hall is one of the military academies established by the four major military houses in Dongying. Its purpose is to select officers with outstanding abilities in the army.Dongying is very popular in martial arts. One faction believes in "Bushido" and the other believes in "Gourd Way". The four military prefectures in Dongying, Hokkaido, Honshu, Kyushu, and Shikoku, each have their own legions, with a total strength of about one million. People need a large number of officers who are proficient in Bushido as the pillar of belief in the army, and the Little Chiba Kendokan was established from this.

Unfortunately, Tanaka has not been awarded a military rank until now.

So, Tanaka didn't have a lot of money, but he still saved some money, but not much.But in order to please Tanaka, Zhang Meng did not hesitate to spend a hundred gold, just to let Tanaka come here for a good night.

Tanaka himself was also very enthusiastic. He had a natural contempt for the people of Daliang, and looked down on him from the bottom of his heart.He thinks that men in Daliang are a bunch of idiots, who either only know how to do farming, or they are soft-hearted. Three meals of floating or crops in the field are their whole life of struggle.In the final analysis, he thought it was because the people of Great Liang did not have as extreme beliefs as the people of Dongying.

With this kind of confidence, or arrogance, Tanaka entered the third floor swearingly, and as soon as he entered the door, he sat down carelessly, holding a samurai sword in one hand, and started tonight's carnival.

The next morning.

Tanaka hummed a ditty and left.

When he left, he carried a large bag of gold with him.

This night, after his unremitting efforts, he just gambled casually, and it can be said that he won more than 2000 gold in one night.

After hearing the statement, he sneered, gamble, continue to gamble, gamblers will lose sooner or later, he didn't take it to heart, because more than 2000 gold is just a drop in the bucket for a gambling house, he doesn't believe that Tanaka's luck will If it keeps getting better, I'm not afraid that he will win, but I'm afraid that he will stop playing when he sees it.

It's about to enter the New Year's Eve.

In the past few days, there were already signs of winter. In the morning, I was shivering with cold, and when I breathed out, there was a burst of hot fog.In winter in the south of the Yangtze River, there is almost no snow, but there is annoying rain, continuous and continuous, like a delicate little girl who has been wronged, and can't be coaxed well.

Like now.

The light rain came from nine days, pattering.

The princess lay on the window, staring at the vendors who insisted on setting up stalls in the light rain.

……(Dividing line)
Great Liang, Luoyang.

As the capital of the Great Liang Empire, Luoyang is known as the center of the world. Of course, people from all over the world still like to call it "Tokyo" and "Eastern Capital". In order to commemorate Ji Wuya's outstanding achievements, later generations of kings called Dunhuang "Xijing" or "Western Capital".

The vermilion tile walls stand upright in the cold wind, and winter is coming fast in the north, especially when the new year is approaching. The winter plum blossoms are so beautiful that even the magnificent [-]-meter-high city wall of Luoyang City is covered with a layer of white snow.The imperial guards in red armor, a symbol of authority, patrolled the towers, bored.A cup of warm tea was steaming in Yi Xuncheng Yushi's hand. He rubbed his hands and blew on the hot tea before he took a sip of the hot tea and muttered, "Damn it, what the hell is going on with those dignitaries?" How happy are you to hold your wives and concubines at home, leaving us miserable people here to patrol the capital, what a fucking crime, I didn’t have a good pregnancy in my previous life.”

Walk along the towering city towers of Luoyang, and go straight to a certain ancient courtyard.

In a place like the capital where gold and land are so precious, the identity of the owner is self-evident to be able to live in such a luxurious and huge manor house, especially behind the stone statues of Suanni at both ends of the gate, there are a few magnificent characters on the plaque, " Prince Gong's Mansion", everything here, from the inside to the outside, only expresses a few words.Nobility, luxury, power.

That's right.

This is Prince Gong's Mansion.Prince Gong is the fourth half-brother of Emperor Tai'an who is the only reborn half-brother.Back then, when Emperor Tai'an was not established as the crown prince, he competed for the throne with several younger brothers of the royal family. His head was broken and his blood was broken. Ji Zai was left alone.There is no other reason. Emperor Tai'an just raised Ji Zai in the capital, and kept him by his side. He was an idle prince who spent his whole day with an eagle and a dog, and fetched from a fence. His Majesty the Emperor raised this prince, just like raising a dog. A dog who can occasionally accompany him to relieve boredom.Since Prince Gong was a child, he had shown aloofness from the world. Only Emperor Tai'an followed his example and never showed any ambition for decades. Therefore, the moment His Majesty ascended the throne, he was not killed, but was killed. I was given a vain job and kept it by my side.

Inside the palace, in the main hall, there is a very good smell of sandalwood. Prince Gong, who is wearing a purple four-clawed dragon robe, sits as the chairman, and beside him is an old man from Japan with a Tsukidai haircut and a Bushido kimono. The two chat happily .

If it gets out, it will definitely provoke the wrath of the ruling and opposition parties.

You know, with the "Peach Blossom Rebellion" in the early years of Tai'an and the "Lianchi Uprising" in the previous few years, Prince Gong tried his best to fight against all opinions, played many times, fanned the flames, and advocated sending troops to suppress the rebellion.After more than 20 years of secret operations, Prince Gong has already become one of the representatives of the hawkish ministers well-known in the court.Today, the old emperor is seriously ill, lying on the couch, and has not been in court for a year or two. Prince Gong has become one of the most powerful people in the court by virtue of his connections. He is a minister of the Hawk Faction , hated the Dongying people deeply, and wrote to His Majesty the Emperor many times to send troops to attack Dongying.

But now, this representative of the hawks who "hatred the Dongying people to the bone" sat and drank with the Generalissimo of the Dongying Hokkaido Military Government, like an old friend reunited after a long absence, which is really incredible.

"Takeshita-san, although Dongpu is small, it is rich in products. This time it is thanks to the treasure pill you provided." Ji Zai held the cup in both hands and made a gesture of respect.

That Dongying old man is the supreme commander of the Dongying Hokkaido Military Mansion, Takeshita is unknown.

"Your Majesty, now that His Majesty's dragon body is incomplete, and he is about to die at any time, I congratulate you in advance to congratulate your Majesty on Mount Tai's enshrinement and his enthronement as emperor." Takeshita smiled modestly and politely.

Ji Zai laughed out loud. He felt warm all over his body after hearing these words. Isn't it just for this day?
"Mr. Takeshita, when the old emperor dies, if I succeed in ascending the throne, just take the Wuyue and Yue states that you Dongying people want, hahaha."
