Lin Yuan smiled and said: "If you talk about the suzerain state and the vassal state, I would like to ask His Royal Highness to recall one thing. In the third year of Qing Daoguang, King Rama II of Siam came to Beijing to pay tribute. Dien Hai Bang' plaque, canonize King Rama II as King of Siam, you don't remember this matter?"

Prince Doma's expression darkened, he nodded and said, "I remember this."

Lin Yuan said: "If you talk about the suzerain country in history, China is also the suzerain country of Siam. I wonder if you agree?"

Prince Doma shook his head and said, "No, no, what Mr. Lin Yuan said is wrong. The Qing Dynasty used to be the suzerain of Siam, and now China is the People's Republic of China. They cannot be confused."

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "I don't want to talk about history and politics with you today. Let's talk about the reality. Although Siam has carried out modernization reforms with the help of the British and its national strength has also increased, Siam has the national strength to lead The entire Indochina Peninsula?"

Prince Doma said with a smile: "Mr. Lin Yuan, don't worry too much. We in Siam once led Laos and Burma. Why can't we lead now?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Both Laos and Burma will carry out modernization, can your national strength support it?"

Prince Doma said: "We have the full help of our British allies, and we will definitely be able to complete this task."

Lin Yuan looked at Prince Doma, didn't speak, but turned his head to Shen Wanqing, and said with a smile: "Wanqing, let's have some snacks here, the goldfish in the pond should smell the fragrance, they must be hungry, you bring Look at the little princess, take some snacks and feed them."

Lin Yuan, Shen Wanqing and Prince Doma all knew that Lin Yuan wanted to distract the little princess and talk about some "dark" political matters, but the little princess didn't understand the meaning, so she jumped up happily and said: "Is there a goldfish here? I like Chinese goldfish the most, sister Wanqing, let's go quickly."

Shen Wanqing smiled and brought the little princess to the edge of the pavilion, and Lin Yuan said: "Since we are talking about Britain, you should know about the full-scale confrontation between Britain and China, right? The British support you because they want to treat you as someone who resists China." Outpost, you don’t know about it, do you?”

Prince Doma nodded and said, "We already know."

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "Then your country is faced with an either-or multiple-choice question, Britain or China, choose one of the two!"

Prince Doma took a deep breath. At this time, he already understood the strategy of Lin Yuan's conversation today. First, he gently advised, then talked about history, and finally threatened nakedly. But if you choose wrong, the whole of Siam will be lost forever.

Prince Doma didn't speak, Lin Yuan smiled and said, "I think your Majesty Chulalongkorn wants to learn from China, right?"

Prince Doma frowned and asked, "Why do you say that?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "'I wonder if we in Siam have learned from the wrong people', didn't this sentence be said by His Majesty Chulalongkorn himself?" This sentence was said by Chulalongkorn to Princess Yalin , also said to Prince Doma, and Prince Doma said in surprise: "Your Majesty said this to me alone, how do you know? You arranged agents beside our Majesty?"

Prince Doma's face was full of anger when he said this, Lin Yuan smiled lightly, and said: "His Royal Highness, I am not afraid that you will be unhappy, but to tell you the truth, it is a difficult and huge project to place agents next to the supreme ruler. It's so small, it's not worth my troubles. Princess Yalin told me this sentence."

Prince Doma turned his head to look at Princess Yalin who was standing by the side of the pavilion, and Shen Wanqing was holding snacks to feed the goldfish. He couldn't help being a little angry, and said in a majestic voice: "Yalin, come here."

Although Yalin is a princess, she is young and afraid of her elders. When she heard what Prince Doma said, she came over. Prince Doma asked, "Yalin, did you tell Mr. Lin Yuan what your father said about learning from the wrong person?" ?”

Princess Yalin shook her head in a daze, Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Princess Yalin, hurry up and feed the goldfish with Wanqing, it's none of your business here." Shen Wanqing also said from a distance: "Little princess, quickly Click back, and the fat belly goldfish came out again."

The little princess looked at Prince Doma timidly, and Prince Doma regretted secretly, thinking: "She is just a little girl, why should I be angry with her?" So she nodded with a smile, and the little princess flew out of the cage like a bird. Lin Yuan said to Prince Doma, "The little princess also said it unintentionally. I hope you don't blame her."

It turns out that after Princess Yalin arrived in Beijing, Lin Yuan asked his "harem" to play with her. There are all kinds of girls in Lin Yuan's "harem", and there is always one who can match the little princess' personality, especially As a result, the Wulan sisters impressed Princess Yalin with their graceful dancing postures. The three of them talked about everything. Of course I will tell Lin Yuan.

Prince Doma thought to himself: "Since Your Majesty has told Princess Yalin about this matter, it is obvious that he did not want to keep it a secret." So Prince Doma nodded and said, "Mr. Lin Yuan, Your Majesty is indeed interested in learning about China."

Lin Yuan asked: "Then you chose China?"

Prince Doma thought for a while and said, "Does choosing China mean that we want to eliminate the influence of the British?"

Lin Yuan said: "It is true politically and militarily, but not economically. We will also protect the legal assets of British businessmen."

Prince Doma said: "I want to ask His Majesty for instructions, and then I will reply."

Lin Yuan said: "Please be sure to give us an answer within 12 hours."

Prince Doma said: "12 hours is too hasty. This is a major event that determines the fate of Siam."

Lin Yuan said: "24 hours, no more."

Prince Doma nodded and said: "Okay, just 24 hours, I will definitely give you an answer before this time tomorrow night." Pointing to the surface of the water, jumping and jumping, he didn't have the heart to call her, Lin Yuan said softly: "What a lovely girl, there must be many girls like this in Siam, their happiness will no longer exist when the war breaks out Bar?"

Prince Doma let out a long sigh, and Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Let the little princess play. When she wants to go back, I will let my wife personally escort her. You should be relieved, right?"

Prince Doma agreed to come down, bid farewell to Lin Yuan, and returned to the post house. The first thing he did was to send a report to Chulalongkorn.
