Chapter 210 Crisis!
With the increasingly violent storm in Shanghai, it has gradually affected Japan. With the overwhelming publicity of newspapers, the Japanese people have also begun to disagree, and the resistance is becoming more and more serious.
"Say, what the hell is going on?"
An old man stood in an antique hall, carrying his hands on his back, and asked in a cold voice.
In front of him, a charming and enchanting woman knelt on the ground and faced the old man's questioning. The woman lowered her head, blushed and behaved.
"Father, my daughter doesn't know how this happened!"
"Well, I don't know how it got to this point? What you said is light. Do you know that the emperor is very angry because of this matter and wants to blame you and Bai Huizi!"
The old man slowly raised his head and sighed. His words were full of reproach. Minako brought back three bodies. At first, he thought it was a good thing, but he didn't expect that things would develop so fast that he didn't even have time to react. Although he helped their Liuyun family through the difficulties, now But I have to face this hot taro situation.
For their Liuyun family, it is not clear whether it is a blessing or a curse. Although His Majesty the Emperor's tone is tough when he receives him, he can also hear it from a few words. His Majesty still has something to say, leaving a lot of room for himself and the whole family. Since there is room for manoeuvre, it proves himself. The daughter still has the opportunity to forgive, otherwise... the consequences will be unimaginable.
I and my wife only have such a daughter. They have been regarded as the pearl of my eye since I was a child. Minako's performance has never let me down. She has even been unanimously praised by the whole family's elders. She is cruel but meticulous. She is vigorous but has no lack of means, and her brain is extremely intelligent. That's why The reason why he dared to let her go to the beach alone.
What surprised him was that he didn't expect that his family's sworn adjue, Bai Huizi, who was no different from Minako, also followed him to Shanghai and even became a major in the Hongkou Gendarmerie.
What he didn't expect was that the woman would find out the evidence of her family's Type 38 rifle smuggling. For a while, the whole Liuyun family fell into a passive situation. For a moment, the whole Liuyun family was shrouded in a dull and suffocating atmosphere, which made him, the patriarch, frown for a few days. When I came down, my body lost more than a circle.
Fortunately, my daughter reacted fast enough, and her vigorous style was perfectly displayed. She found a friend and took out all the arms, otherwise...
However, the situation has changed. The matter has been solved perfectly, but unexpectedly, His Majesty the Emperor and the military came up with such a bad idea and wanted to use this as an excuse to launch a full-scale war of aggression against China.
At that time, he did not agree to do so. Although the military and economic power of Greater Japan has been greatly developed and advanced, he also knows that the current empire is far from strong enough to invade a Chinese nation with a population of 40,000 people with a 5,000-year civilization. Before there is no absolute strength, he does not want this at all. Obviously, the hawks in their own country can't wait.
Although he thought of the result, it was also a situation that only happened after the full outbreak of the war and the armies of the two countries entered the perpetual tug-of-war, but he did not expect that everything would end early because of that evidence.
Thinking of this, he took a long breath and gritted his teeth at those humble people, but he looked so helpless!
"Father, this matter was done by my daughter alone. If His Majesty blames the emperor, her daughter is willing to bear all the consequences. However, at the beginning, when I brought back the bodies of Sanben Ichiro, I never thought that they would use such means to provoke a full-scale war of aggression, and now everything is included in In our two families, my daughter has to wonder if there is something strange about it!"
Minako is quite calm at this time. By now, it has not been what anyone can do for a long time. If the emperor really wants to blame himself, no matter how reasonable he is, he can't escape death. As long as she can save the life of the whole family, even if she sacrifices herself, she is willing to do it, but she has been thinking about it for the past few days. There must be other conspiracies for this, but I just don't know what it is.
"Hm?"
Hearing this, the old man couldn't help but light up his eyes, and then frowned and said, "Minako, what do you mean?"
"Father, daughter said bluntly, the five major families in Kyoto, and we and the Ishikawa family are the most powerful, and the business is all over Japan. It is no exaggeration to say that our two families have controlled one-fifth of the entire Japanese national economy. There is a fixed saying in China, saying that meritorious deeds are the master. Is it because our two families are too Is it too strong to make His Majesty the Emperor afraid?
Minako analyzed the original of the matter. Although it was not slow, it still made the old man, as the patriarch, look at his daughter with a complicated expression.
"Minako, do you know what kind of consequences you will bring when you say this? Now that His Majesty the Emperor is strong, no one dares to oppose his opinion, even if we and the Ishikawa family can't join hands!"
"Father, the daughter naturally knows what she is talking about. Doesn't the father have such an idea? I'm afraid the father is more comprehensive and thoughtful than his own."
Minako knelt on the ground, with a cold smile in her eyes, and asked with a smile.
"You..., Minako, just say these words. Besides, you don't have any evidence, it's all up to your own guess..."
The old man looked melancholy and waved his hand to stop his daughter from continuing, as if warning that he did not know the emperor's intention, but in the face of reality, what could he do?
Yes, many people in the family say that they are weak and incompetent and show submissiveness in many things, but they don't understand that they control a huge family, the vitality and lives of thousands of people. If you don't pay attention, I'm afraid that your family will be ruined. If you do this, it's not for stability. In order to enable the family to develop better.
The Ishikawa family has been against its Liuyun family for thousands of years. Although it is difficult to distinguish between each other, it also involves too much development energy for them. This is not what the emperors of all dynasties want to see. Balance, everything is for balance, the emperor's mind is strange and unpredictable, but there is an eternal master. Question - Balance!
Whether it is the civil and military ministers, the major families, as emperors, they don't want to see a dominant one, restrain each other, don't let each other become stronger and bigger, and be above other family officials. This is their trade-off.
This is also the real reason why there have been many opportunities to catch each other in the two families of Liuyun and Ishikawa for thousands of years, but they have failed to do so.
Every time they fight to see that one party will be eliminated by the other party, often at this time, they can see the government. They spare no effort to mediate. Obviously, they don't want that situation to happen.
The reason why he wants the family's personnel to keep a low profile is that he wants to take progress as a retreat, let people see the weakness of his family, mistakenly think that his family is timid and afraid of things, and take their attention away.
Just take advantage of this opportunity to secretly strengthen their strength. As long as their family is strong to a certain extent, far higher than the Ishikawa family, they will no longer have the power to compete with themselves.
"Father, although you have been looking for a low profile all your life and are unwilling to admit the emperor's scheming power, presumably your father must admit that this time the emperor has committed an operation on our two families, which is deeply unknown. He clearly saw the signs that the two major families of Liuyun and Ishikawa have to get out of his control, so he will borrow This is the opportunity to completely eradicate the two major families and support those who are obedient to him as slaves!"
In a word, the old man's body seemed to be a little unstable, shaking twice, and the face was even colder.
"Yes, you must not give His Majesty this opportunity!"
The old man nodded heavily and echoed solemnly, "Minako, now it seems that we are going to abandon the fight with the Ishikawa family and cooperate!"
It seems that an extremely difficult decision was made. The old man said word by word, but there was a rare cold light in his eyes...
