Rebirth of the Spanish Empire

Ito Hirobumi's words made Katsura Taro and Saionji Konobo think of it at this time. It seemed that the news coming out of Spain was that the ship sank and then disappeared. It was not confirmed that Alfonso XIII and the others were dead. , at this time they felt a cold feeling in their hearts, because if they really followed their previous plan to deal with Spain and suppress their presence in East Asia, then if Alfonso died and returned to Spain, then by then This is something I definitely don’t want to think about.

Ito Hirobumi stood up at this time, yawned, and then said: "I'm a little tired. That's what happens when you get old, so you guys go ahead. I want to go back and take a rest. Please forgive me."

Katsura Taro's heart twitched, and he was a little annoyed. He secretly cursed the old fox and the old bastard, but to him, he replied with a smile on his face: "Please go back, you are one of the most important figures in our Empire of Japan." 1. Therefore, the body is the most important. With you, Japan will be safer, right, Nishizono-kun?"

"Gao. Foreign. 撂倬 coal miked  umbrella shielded the eight deer   de 珟雛  burn a piece of ash. It's really shameful that you often provoke the other party and use yourself as a backing. To the extreme, but now he is in an extraordinary period. He needs Katsura Taro's support as he prepares for Japan's general election and then becomes Prime Minister. Therefore, some things still need to be done.

Even if he offends Hirobumi Ito, his political mentor, he will not hesitate to do so. [

Ito Hirobumi looked at Katsura Taro and then at Saionji Temple, and shook his head. He left the Prime Minister's Palace directly.

The two people behind were a little embarrassed, because they saw Ito Hirobumi's disdain from the shaking head.

"This old guy is still so domineering at this time. Doesn't he know that domineering requires strength? People without strength are just pretending, no matter how powerful they are. The consequences of pretending are not ordinary. serious"

Katsura cursed at the door. And Saionji Gongwang also secretly cursed Ito Hirobumi for his support.

August 15, 1911. King Alfonso XIII of Spain during a tour of the Spanish overseas territory of Madagascar. Encountered a mine in the Red Sea, and then the ship sank. More than 458 of the 500 people on board were rescued, and 38 people were killed. There are still 4 people whose whereabouts are unknown. Among them are King Alfonso XIII of Spain, Chirac, Director of the Spanish Intelligence Agency, and Laura, the Spanish Major General in charge of Spanish military parades and etiquette. and a sailor soldier. The soldier had just died when he was found on the seaside of the town of Hodeidah in British Yemen on the Arabian Peninsula on August 30, 1911.

The spread of this news made people all over the world speculate even more about Alfonso's death.

"No, how could someone like him have such a short life? Absolutely not," Elena yelled. Since hearing the news, she has hidden herself and went to work normally during the day. But at night, she cried secretly alone, even though she knew that he and His Majesty had already reached the point of being in love with each other. Although the two of them had grown older, they had begun to lose that kind of physical desire. But deep down in their hearts, there is still a relationship between lovers. The relationship between them for more than 20 years cannot be weakened. Even in his heart, it is better than the relationship that he had been dead for decades. Her husband, Alfonso XIII, had more responsibility and status as a husband in his heart. The time they spent together exceeded the time she had known her husband.

At the age of 51, she can no longer give up this relationship. Although she was sometimes jealous that Alfonso was the thirteenth wife, Queen Patricia, that was just a woman's nature. She still had to abide by her duties and continue to work in her position, thinking about how to serve him. Do more.

"Patricia should be sad now. Oh, forget it. I'll just keep hiding my feelings. Go see her and help him comfort her."

Soon, she saw Patricia. When she saw her, Elena was very surprised, because, although Patricia looked not very good, she was also much thinner, and even You can see the dark circles under the eyes that cannot be covered up even with makeup.

These were all things she had expected, but she did not expect that she would see Patricia. Although in these expectations, she did not expect that there was a deep calmness on her face, a calm command. When people panic, it's like a pool of stagnant water with no bottom, and people can't tell whether its depth and color are black or green. Or something else.

"Your Highness, are you okay?" Elena asked with concern.

Patricia's eyes were still so deep, and her face was still as still as loose. She said softly: "I'm fine."

Three words answered a question, which was really effective. However, Elena knew in her heart that this was not the case. She knew the relationship between Queen Patricia and His Majesty, and felt a pain in her heart. At the same time, she also I feel pity for her, because it seems that fate is making an outrageous arrangement for this queen.

Just when he was about to say something about resting and taking care of his health, he was so shocked by Patricia's words that he swallowed the words as soon as they came to his mouth.

"I have known about your relationship with His Majesty more than ten years ago, so I also know how you feel. Elena, thank you for taking care of him over the years. Thank you very much. You are a brave woman. , you used everything you had, including your body, wealth, family interests, etc., to help his career and help him build this great Spain. You are a great person, especially a great woman, yes , this is what he said before, and this is what I want to say.”

Elena was so shocked that she was speechless. His Majesty actually took the initiative to say it. She knew it more than ten years ago, which meant that she knew it not long after she got married. At that time, she was in the age of tiger and wolf, and she often talked to His Majesty. Her Royal Highness the Queen should have known about doing that kind of thing, so she couldn't bear to imagine that she was actually having fun and singing with her husband, the King of Spain, under the Queen's eyes every night, and the Queen was obviously acquiesced in such existence. And it lasted for decades.

She couldn't help but look up at the woman sitting on the queen's seat. At this moment, she realized that it turned out that in her heart, she thought that if she was more than ten years younger, she could compete with her for the queen's position. How ridiculous. [

Fifth update. I will borrow about 5,000 words to update later, and then I will copy them back before tomorrow morning, so please forgive me. Too many relatives came to the house today, so I was too busy, and the weather is hot, so I owe you 5,000 words first. Remember, oh, it’s five thousand words. ()
