Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    At this time, the "Emperor" Puyi of "Manchukuo" was in the worst mood.

    Yesterday, he waited patiently for a day in accordance with the orders of the Japanese, but he got the news that the British baron and his wife were tired and could not attend the banquet.  This made Puyi lose his temper fiercely.

    In the morning, another order was received from the Japanese. The baron and his wife would meet with the "Emperor of Manchukuo" at noon and would stay in the palace for a banquet.

    Puyi was so angry that he refused to agree.  As a result, the "Prime Minister of Manchukuo" Zhang Jinghui was also alarmed. After more than an hour of hard persuasion on the palace road, with threats and inducements, Puyi reluctantly agreed.

    However, this "emperor" is really as pitiful as he can be

    At around 10 o'clock in the morning, accompanied by the Kwantung Army Commander Ueda Kenkichi, Baron Andrew and his wife finally appeared.

    You can imagine that Puyi's face is not that good-looking.

    Especially when Baron Andrew just took off his hat and bent slightly towards Puyi, Puyi was filled with anger.

    If the Qing Dynasty were at its peak, I would have to kick you out But when he saw the way Ueda Kenkichi looked at him, Puyi had to suppress his dissatisfaction  Living under someone else's roof, this is truly living under someone else's wing

    "Ah, Your Majesty the Emperor, the palace is not as big as I imagined." Wang Weiyi acted very frivolously: "I heard my father say that the Forbidden City is very big, why is it so small here?"

    "The Forbidden City is in Beijing, Mr. Baron." Zhang Jinghui was afraid of causing any trouble, so he quickly said with a smile: "Baron, if you are interested, I will accompany you in person another day."

    The simple "meeting" ceremony ended hastily. Puyi couldn't help but said: "Mr. Tokson, I have prepared some delicious food. I hope you can dine here."

    "Ah, this is my honor" Wang Weiyi said with a smile.

    Having humbled himself in front of the Japanese and showed no dignity in front of the British, the banquet was now Puyi's only chance to save face.

    Although it is not as luxurious as in Beijing, it can be seen that Puyi really put a lot of thought into this banquet.

    The exquisite dishes came one after another, and Baroness Elena exclaimed in surprise, which finally made Puyi's mouth reveal a winner's smile

    Elena really exclaimed.  She had never seen such a luxurious banquet, such exquisite dishes.  One after another, it's dizzying

    "What is this, Your Majesty the Emperor?" Elena asked, pointing to a dish that was served.

    "This is wine-braised bear paws" Wang Fengchi said on the side: "This dish comes from Sichuan, and I have been making it since last night"

    "Bear's paw? Bear's paw?" Elena asked in surprise.  After getting a positive answer.  Elena looked a little regretful: "That's so cruel"

    Originally he wanted to show off, but in the end he was called "cruel" by the other party. Puyi's originally somewhat recovered expression darkened again.

    The "Queen of Manchukuo" on the side saw Wanrong and said hurriedly: "Baroness, this is a custom in various places. Maybe you don't understand it very well. In China, only particularly valuable guests will come up with something like this.  Expensive dishes come"

    Elena said "Oh" and had a good impression of this queen who didn't speak much, had a smoky look on her face, and didn't seem to be in good spirits.

    Listen to the rambler.  The "Queen" was addicted to opium and was abandoned by the "Emperor" not long after entering the palace.  He also tried to escape several times but failed.

    "Does the Emperor have any other hobbies?" Wang Weiyi suddenly asked at this time.

    Ueda Kenkichi smiled inwardly.  The baron finally couldn't stand it anymore

    "Ah, I don't have any special hobbies." Puyi said lazily: "Billiards, ball, badminton I like them all. But I only play them in general"

    "Exercise that is good for the body." Wang Weiyi turned around and said, "Captain Aoki, can you bring me the gift I gave to His Majesty the Emperor?"

    Toshio Aoki quickly brought a gift from the baron to the "Emperor of Manchukuo" - a racket.

    Puyi cheered up slightly, expressed his gratitude, and then presented a batch of gifts after the meal.

    Although the "Qing Dynasty" is no longer around, Puyi is still quite generous. The value of the gift given to Wang Weiyi is enough for him to build a small stadium.

    "Your Majesty the Emperor, I have a small request" Wang Weiyi hesitated for a moment: "Father?I like to collect all kinds of gemstones. They are found all over the world, but there is only one ruby ??missing"

    "Ah, Ruby, although the Aijueluo family

    "Although it is not as beautiful as before, I still have rubies" Pu Yi said without caring at all.

    In these barbarian countries, what is a small ruby ??worth?

    "Your Majesty the Emperor, I think you have misunderstood. The gem I want is not an ordinary gem" Wang Weiyi said slowly: "I heard that during the era of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, a giant overseas businessman donated a piece of red  Gem, many skilled craftsmen in the Qing Dynasty could not cut it"

    "Ah, you are talking about Emperor Xiao Cichun's 'Great Victory Stone'." Puyi quickly understood what the other party wanted: "It was the fifty-seventh year of Qianlong's reign, when the Gurkhas attacked Tibet, and I, Emperor Xiao Cichun, used the great  General Fukang'an commanded the entire army, fought continuously across the Himalayas, and defeated the Gurkha army Speaking of Gurkha, I heard that your British army also had a Gurkha battalion, right?  The defeated generals of my Qing Emperor"

    This remark was clearly meant to ridicule the Baron, but to Wang Weiyi's ears, it had nothing to do with him at all.

    Puyi's talk was very exciting: "Now that Tibet is peaceful, a giant overseas businessman donated this gem. Emperor Xiao Cichun was overjoyed and ordered a craftsman to cut it. Unexpectedly, he tried every means but failed. Heshen and Zhongtang then spoke up and said this  Things cannot be cut, it is God's will, it is God who wants the gem to be integrated, and if it is destroyed, it will not be perfect. So Emperor Xiao Cichun named it after the "Great Victory Stone" and has always hidden it in the palace But it was the reverse.  Red"

    When he heard that there was indeed such a gem, Wang Weiyi was very excited: "I wonder if His Majesty the Emperor can transfer this gem to me? I am willing to pay a very high price."

    "No, this is absolutely not allowed." Pu Yi shook his head upon hearing this.

    It¡¯s not that this gem is very valuable. A French-cut gem can only be left to look at.  Pu Yi just looked at this Englishman and felt disgusted, so he decided to go against him.

    "What a pity." Wang Weiyi shrugged: "Your Majesty, then I can only return empty-handed"

    Then he turned to Ueda Kenkichi: "Mr. Commander, thank you for your hospitality. My wife and I will continue to travel in China for a while. Maybe I will go back in three years, maybe five years  "

    This is clearly telling Ueda Kenkichi that I am staying in China, and you should find someone else to do the things you asked me to do.

    "Baron, please wait a moment." Ueda Kenkichi said to Wang Weiyi in English: "Why do you want this gem?"

    "I said, my father likes to collect gems. He has African emeralds, Indian purple gems, many, many, but he still lacks a Chinese rubyand" Wang Weiyi said in  Na hesitated for a moment and seemed to have made a lot of determination: "Besides, didn't you listen to His Majesty the Emperor? The 'Great Victory Stone' is of great significance to both Gurkha and the Qing Dynasty. I think it will  More valuable than any gem"

    Ueda Kenkichi smiled: "Your Excellency, Baron, you might as well spend a few days in Beijing. Maybe you will have unexpected gains by then?"

    Wang Weiyi blinked: "Your Excellency, Commander, if I can get that gem, I will be very grateful to you. The price is easy to negotiate, I can pay double. As for the thing you told me  .Do you know Earl Mallock? He has a very good relationship with the Toxon family, and he is the Speaker of the House of Lords. I can send him a telegram explaining how important Anglo-Japanese friendship is to peace in the Far East  "

    "Peace in the Far East depends on Britain and Japan." Kenkichi Ueda smiled slightly: "Captain Aoki, please accompany the Baron and Baroness to have a good time in Beijing. All expenses will be borne by the Kwantung Army."

    "Hai!" Toshio Aoki said loudly.

    Wang Weiyi nodded with satisfaction, faced Pu Yi, and bowed slightly: "Your Majesty the Emperor, although you have not been able to satisfy my request, I still feel very happy about my trip to Beijing. I hope you can have a good time as soon as possible.  As a prince, I will inherit your position. Goodbye."

    Pu Yi watched the baron and his wife leave in stunned silence. His face was pale with anger, his whole body was trembling, and he could hardly stand still.

    The baron¡¯s last words pierced his heart like a knife There is no more vicious language than this

    "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" Wang Fengchi realized something was wrong and hurriedly supported Puyi.

    "I'm so angry, I'm so angry, blast him out, blast him out of Beijing!" Pu Yi covered his heart and shouted angrily.

    "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please ask Dr. Sun, please give me Dr. Sun."

    Looking at the chaosIn the crowded palace, Ueda Kenkichi didn't say a word, he just stared there coldly.

    Puyi is just a pawn that can be used, and can be abandoned at any time for the fate of the empire.

    And Baron Andrew is also a chess piece, but now we have to consider how to meet the requirements of this chess piece!
