The mage in the late Qing Dynasty

Wait for Li Xiuji and Liang Qiduo to leave.

Jin Wuzhi almost fell into disbelief: "Mr. Zhao, it's a pity that you don't become a diplomat. With your sharp tongue, I can convince you to live even if you die. In ancient times, you were a real rebel genius. .”

Zhao Chuanxin's righteousness was awe-inspiring: "In the past, Zhuanzhu stabbed the king's officials, and comets struck the moon.

Nie Zhengzhi stabbed the Korean puppet, and a white rainbow penetrated the sun.

When he was about to leave, he stabbed Qingji, and the eagle struck the palace.

Young Master Guang and Yan Zhongzi, when they persuaded these three people, they also didn't waste much words!

Why?

Because this is a righteous act and what people want, they are already ready to die at any time, so there is no need to say more.

In my opinion, Li Xiuji and Liang Qiduo are benevolent people with this kind of spirit.

I, Zhao Chuanxin, am very optimistic about them! "

"..." Jin Wuzhi, a man who is greedy for life and afraid of death, feels that Zhao Chuanxin is insulting his IQ.

You are so optimistic about these two people, but you are not even willing to reveal their real names?

But these two idiots actually obeyed and prepared.

Sure enough, that saying is right - times make heroes.

In fact, in Zhao Chuanxin's view, it was just the right time, right place, right people and people.

Liang Qiduo was an independence activist and worked hard for this all his life.

Li Xiuji was even more powerful. In his original trajectory, this person went to assassinate Li Wanyong. He also used a dagger, which shows his versatility.

Although he did not die, Li Wanyong was stabbed and seriously injured.

Before being sentenced to death, Li Xiuji still held his head high and was impassioned.

This kind of people only need to fan the flames and state their interests. Even if Zhao Chuanxin doesn't have any plan, they will do their own research and come up with something.

What's more, he spoke clearly and gave directions.

If those agreements did not exist and were not established, all they would lose would be a little money.

Because there were already rebels in Korea at this time, resisting the Japanese = the correct position.

Suddenly, Zhao Chuanxin thought of something and slapped his thigh: "I just ordered the food, and they ran away without paying the bill. Xiao Jinzi has to pay for this meal."

Jin Wuzhi: "..."

Xian Yubin just handed over five copper coins.

Although the money is small, it means a lot.

So, Zhao Chuanxin gave him five more: "Not bad, not bad. I approve of his acting skills just now."

Xian Yubin was stunned: "Sir, I didn't act. I really want to donate money to fight the Japanese."

Zhao Chuanxin: "I understand, I understand, take the money, after all, I can't let you pay for the performance."

"..."

When talking to Zhao Chuanxin, it is common for him to have difficulty in explaining himself.

Jin Wuzhi secretly said: This kid will get used to it sooner or later.

After dinner, Jin Wuzhi had to catch the train.

He didn't want to stay in Seoul for a moment.

Because of the previous riot at the Seoul Hotel, Zhao Chuanxin was worried that the Japanese would conduct strict inspections at the train station, so he only sent Jin Wuzhi nearby.

Before leaving, he said: "When I go back, tell Wu Luzhen that the map will arrive shortly, so that he can calm down. In addition, go to the rebels and tell Liu Yonghe that if the Japanese attack him, hold on, and soon the Japanese will station The Han Tong Supervisory Office will be in chaos, and they will have no time to send troops for reinforcements."

Jin Wuzhi was sweating coldly.

Sure enough, Zhao Chuanxin is going to cause trouble here.

Thinking about it this way, I feel more urgent to return.

He couldn't wait to carry his suitcase: "Mr. Zhao, let me take the first step."

"Well, you can go on your way safely."

"..." Jin Wuzhi sneered: "It sounds very unlucky."

Zhao Chuanxin laughed and said, "It's better than me sending you on your way in person."

Jin Wuzhi shivered, picked up his suitcase and left.

At this time, only Zhao Chuanxin and Xian Yubin were left.

Zhao Chuanxin said: "Don't live on the streets anymore. Come to my place and sleep in Park Seung-yeol's room at night. He probably won't come back tonight."

Xian Yubin immediately became happy when he heard this.

This baby hasn't slept in a proper room for a long time, and has forgotten what it feels like to sleep on a bed.

"Thank you, sir."

In this era, children who are sensible and early-minded are either homeless and living on the streets, or they come from wealthy families like Telford.

On the contrary, most of the children from ordinary people's families are dull and taciturn. They are busy doing farm work, which is not wise.

Seoul has a temperate monsoon climate.

The four seasons are distinct, with little rain in spring and autumn.

But this year was an exception. Zhao Chuanxin looked up at the sky. The sky was a little gloomy, and it should be raining not far away.

He pulled Xian Yubin and walked quickly towards home.

When we could already see the gate, it finally started to rain.

When spring rain splashes on the dry ground, it will form blisters covered in mud, and countless blisters will stir up dust.

Zhao Chuanxin's nose was itchy due to the dust, and he said, "Run quickly."

Two people, one large and one small, ran towards home. After entering the gate, the rain became heavier.

Just as he was about to close the door, he saw Park Seung-yeol running from a distance wearing a raincoat.

So he opened the door and waited for him for a while.

After Park Seung-yeol ran into the house, he immediately took off his bamboo hat and shouted urgently: "Mr. Zhao, Li Wanyong's son Li Shengjiu is dead."

Zhao Chuanxin closed the door and said calmly: "Oh, if you die, just die, it's none of my business."

"No." Park Seung-yeol said, "Lee Seung-gu committed suicide out of shame and anger because he felt that his father's traitorous behavior was shameful."

Huh?

This is behavior that even his own son can't stand.

How sad and angry do you have to be to commit suicide?

Zhao Chuanxin became more interested: "What about Li Wanyong? He didn't commit suicide because of excessive grief or anything, or hang himself from a tree by twisting his neck? In that case, I have to save him even in the pouring rain. .”

"..." Park Shengyeol said to himself that no wonder Mr. Zhao has so many enemies. "That's not true. It is said that he is sad, but not much. By the way, Your Majesty asked me to bring you a message."

Zhao Chuanxin was disappointed.

It seems that Korean traitors and traitors are similar, both are selfish.

"What did Little Plum ask you to say? Didn't you tell me to assassinate Ito Hirobumi quickly?"

"Uh, that's right." Park Seung-yeol said with shame. "One more thing. His Majesty said that he lost a lot of treasures and money from his internal funds. I would like to ask Mr. Zhao if he knows about this?"

"Ito Hirobumi can't move now." Zhao Chuanxin immediately accused Li Xi: "Your Majesty, the situation is really too small. He made it clear at the time that he was determined to leave. Anyone who goes back on his word is the thief!"

Park Seung-yeol was speechless when he thought about Li Xi's furious look at that time.

He passed out that night, not knowing what deal was made between the two.

Anyway, His Majesty seems to have suffered a big loss, so big that it made him furious.

"Your Majesty said that since Mr. Zhao has taken advantage of him, he must keep his promise. Now it is urgent to assassinate Ito Hirobumi."

Li Xi probably expected Zhao Chuanxin's shameless face.

Zhao Chuanxin said cheerfully: "Okay, don't worry about these details. I, Zhao Chuanxin, am not the kind of person who breaks his word."

Seeing that he was not impatient or impatient, Park Seung-yeol had no choice.

Before going out, he suddenly found an extra stone on the wall, firmly attached to the wall.

Surprised: "Mr. Zhao, what is this?"

Zhao Chuanxin glanced at it and made a random joke: "Oh, I saw a hole there during the day, so I just found a stone and put it in it."

Wait until they get out.

Zhao Chuanxin took out his trowel gloves and "used his strength" to make the stone condensed from sand smoother and adhered to the wall. As expected, it was much more pleasing to the eye.

Looking at the mud trowel gloves, he remembered the lost worm silk scarf. He was so angry that he immediately took the gloves back to the secret realm.

It probably only rained until midnight. In the morning, the sun continued to rise.

That night, Zhao Chuanxian didn't sleep very well.

Because there are bugs in this house, and the ground is wet after the rain, so they come out one after another.

Zhao Chuanxin was bitten by several large bumps on his body and itched unbearably for a while.

But even though I didn't sleep well, I was still very energetic.

Because of the extra thirty years of life, my body has benefited a lot.

Open the doors and windows and get the fresh air after the rain.

Another day full of positive energy.

At three o'clock in the day, Zhao Chuanxin just got up.

However, Song Bingzhen and Li Rongjiu, the leaders of the pro-Japanese faction "Yi Jin Hui", had already led the congregation outside the Tongyuan Mansion, holding high banners and petitioning.

The content of the petition is - let Ri Xi abdicate and let Japan and South Korea "unite".

Just like the contents of the three agreements mentioned by Zhao Chuanxin, smart people who are more sensitive can already see some clues.

Song Bingzhen is such a smart person.

First, Li Wanyong's son died and he needed to attend to the funeral at home.

They are all pro-Japanese, but there are differences between them.

Before, Song Bingzhen could not squeeze into the Japanese inner circle.

No, Li Wan couldn't move away, so Song Bingzhen and others had the opportunity to show their faces in front of their Japanese father.

Second, since the Japanese are going to do this no matter what, then Song Bingzhen might as well be a favor.

as expected.

Hirobumi Ito of the Tongyuan Mansion couldn't help but look happy when his subordinates talked about the outside affairs.

"Get ready, I want to reward this Song Bingzhen."

When Song Bingzhen learned that he was about to receive an award, his expression was as happy as a dog getting a bone.

So, he shouted slogans even harder.

Ito Hirobumi said to his secretary Taijiro Mori: "Look, this is not what we want to do. This is a spontaneous petition by the Korean people. We must follow the good news."

As it happens, he still lacks a gimmick and timing.

If you feel sleepy, someone will give you a pillow.

Hasegawa Yomichi, whose health has improved, collaborated with Ito Hirobumi and led the Japanese military police outside Keiun Palace.

Hasegawa Haomichi was guarding outside, while Ito Hirobumi took the loser Song Bingzhen into the palace.

The guards outside the Dahan Gate of Qingyun Palace looked at the heavily armed Japanese soldiers and did not dare to stop Ito Hirobumi.

The guard at the door of the Stone Palace stopped him, but said in a dry tone: "This is His Majesty's office. Outsiders are not allowed to enter."

Ito Hirobumi was not angry but said: "Ito Hirobumi, who dares to stop me?"

Song Bingzhen's eyes shined behind him.

This is called power!

So domineering!

Cold sweat dripped down the guard's forehead.

He muttered nothing, only the stubbornness in his eyes remained.

Ito Hirobumi shouted: "Go away!"

The guard did not move and looked at his companion for help.

The companion gritted his teeth, but failed to muster the courage to say harsh words and pretended not to notice.

So, Ito Hirobumi smiled contemptuously and stretched out his hand to push away the guard who was half a head taller than him.

The guards dared not say anything in anger, but watched the two people enter the stone palace.

Ito Hirobumi arrived outside Li Xi's office. The little eunuch was smart and knew that he could not speak, but he could notify Li Xi as soon as possible so that Li Xi could be prepared.

So he crawled into the office: "Your Majesty, Ito Hirobumi is here..."

The file in Li Xi's hand shook to the ground, his heart beating hard.

No one came to report outside, indicating that Hirobumi Ito broke in forcefully.

The attack is fierce and the plan is not small.

Just as the little eunuch finished speaking, Ito Hirobumi had already pushed the door open and entered.

He strode forward, looked directly at Li Xi and said: "Your Majesty, today there are people petitioning for you to abdicate the throne in favor of the crown prince. This shows that under your Majesty's governance, Korea is incompatible with government and people are at odds, causing anger and resentment. Come today, I am asking His Majesty to abdicate."

Is it still at this point?

Li Xi's face turned pale.

His lips trembled: "I, even if I die, I will not abdicate."

The dog-legger Song Bingjun stepped forward and threatened: "The people of Korea who are governed by your Majesty are in dire straits. According to the treaty, this is considered as trampling on the protective power of the Japanese Empire. For now, there are only two strategies. One is for Your Majesty to leave the palace and go to the palace gate. Commander Hasegawa knelt down to apologize; secondly, His Majesty abdicated the throne and gave way to the Crown Prince. Otherwise, it is unimaginable how humiliated he would be if he went to war with Japan and was defeated."

Li Xi would not accept any of them.

Looking at Song Bingzhen, Li Xi was so angry that his beard and hair stood out.

These are my Korean people.

He actually helped the Japanese and pooped on his neck.

"Never abdicate!"

He said it categorically.

When tensions were at stake in the Stone Hall.

Li Wanyong, who was dealing with his son's funeral at home, received news that Song Bingjun went to the Tongyuan Mansion to petition, and then Ito Hirobumi took him to the palace.

Li Wanyong is also a smart person.

He immediately wanted to understand the cause and effect, and was suddenly angry and anxious.

Angry, a big change occurred in his family, and other forces began to exert their strength and show their faces in front of the Japanese.

The anxious thing is that if Ito Hirobumi gets what he wants, he will be quickly abandoned by Japan without making any contribution to it.

Without Japanese protection, he would be torn apart by angry people and ministers.

This is not okay.

Now, Song Bingzhen has taken the lead.

If he, Li Wanyong, wants to excel, he must be original.

Song Bingzhen asked Li Xi to abdicate, and then Li Wanyong ordered 7,000 Korean troops to disarm, and not one of them was a man.

He looked at the coffin in the mourning hall, which contained the still-cold body of his son.

Then he looked at his daughter-in-law, Ren, who was kneeling on the ground, even more beautiful in mourning clothes.

He sneered, took off his mourning clothes, threw them on the ground, and strode out quickly.

The family members, guests and friends paying condolences were all stunned.

His wife was mourning from behind: "Master, where are you going?"

Li Wanyong looked impatient and scolded without looking back: "Shut up."

It doesn’t matter if the son is gone, doesn’t he still have a beautiful daughter-in-law?

So, he hurried to Qingyun Palace.

Here, the two sides are in a stalemate.

Li Xi, the bastard, is determined by the scale. No matter how you threaten or threaten, I just don't agree.

Whether you want to kill or cut into pieces, please do as you please.

Usually he is submissive and gives in on many things.

But he was the founding emperor of the Korean Empire. Wouldn't it be a joke if he also became the king of the country's subjugation?

Because he acted in a hurry, Ito Hirobumi did not expect that Li Xi suddenly became tough.

For a moment, I really had no idea what to do with him.

You can't really kill him, right? Nor can we really start a war.

But the arrow was already on the string and had to be fired.

At this time, Song Bingzhen pulled Ito Hirobumi aside and whispered a few words: "Commander Ito, we don't have to wait for his consent. We can send troops to surround Qingyun Palace and forcibly complete the Zen ceremony. And let the Japanese Prime Minister use the name of the emperor to I sent a telegram to congratulate the new emperor on his accession, and announced it to the world at the same time, making Li Xi’s abdication a fait accompli..."

hiss……

Ito Hirobumi glanced at Song Bingzhen in surprise.

What a bad idea!

But it seems feasible.

At this moment, Li Wanyong hurried in.

As soon as he came in, he couldn't wait to say: "Commander Ito, I have something to say."

Song Bingzhen and Ito Hirobumi both looked at Li Wanyong in surprise.

Wasn't he at home handling his son's funeral?

Li Wanyong glanced at Song Bingzhen coldly.

At this time, Song Bingzhen was far less powerful than Li Wanyong, so he put his head aside with a guilty conscience.

Li Wan whispered to Ito Hirobumi: "I heard that the commander-in-chief wanted Li Xi to abdicate, but the commander-in-chief ignored a major matter."

Li Wanyong is very good at preempting others and exaggerating.

Hirobumi Ito smiled half-heartedly: "Oh? What's the big deal?"

Li Wanyong had already thought of his words: "The supervisor has ignored the loyalty of the Korean guards to Li Xi!"

Ito Hirobumi frowned: "How do you say this?"

"There are quite a few die-hards of Li Xi among the guards. If they cause trouble, they will also cause a lot of trouble to the supervisor. It would be better to let Li Xi abdicate and at the same time gather the senior officers of the guards in Li Xi's name. At the Japanese military headquarters, let the Japanese instructors induce them to put down their weapons. At that time, announce the disbandment of the army..."

Hirobumi Ito was convinced.

He, the commander-in-chief stationed in South Korea, is not as smart as the two Korean traitors when it comes to deceiving South Korea.

Each plot is more poisonous than the last.

The Korean army at this time was trained by Japanese instructors.

Ito Hirobumi thought for a while, and if he really let the Japanese instructors induce them to put down their weapons, there is a high probability that they would succeed.

Li Xi abdicated and disbanded the army, so the only people left to cause trouble were the people.

But the people are all a mob, and Ito Hirobumi doesn't take them to heart.

They can be suppressed by just sending out a Japanese squad.

The next step is to deprive him of his legislative power. Isn’t that a matter of course?

Ito Hirobumi patted Li Wanyong on the shoulder: "Yes, Li Jun's thinking is very careful. I decided to do as you said."

Li Wanyong was overjoyed, not feeling the sadness of his son's tragic death at all, and his face was as flattering as a pug.

They were muttering here, and Song Bingzhen and Li Xi were both in uneasy moods.

Of course the starting point is different.

Ito Hirobumi was in a good mood and began to carry out two strategies at the same time.

…

Park Seung Yeol went out early in the morning.

Xian Yubin was sweeping the floor with a broom and wiping the tables and chairs.

This kid is very aware of being dependent on others.

After Zhao Chuanxin washed up, he looked at Xian Yubin working and then got into the kitchen.

He bought cold noodles two days ago. He had soaked them in water overnight last night and they were already soft.

He lit the stove and when the fire started, he took a pot and boiled water.

Boil the cold noodles and pour them into cold water.

Pour out the water in the pot, dry up the water stains, heat the oil, and pour it on the chili noodles and sesame seeds to make chili oil.

In the early morning, just the scent of chili oil made Xian Yubin, who was working hard, salivate.

Zhao Chuanxin started to prepare cold noodle soup, salt, honey, sugar, white vinegar, light soy sauce...

Finally, he tasted the taste and said, "Yeah, not bad."

No tomato chunks, no cucumber shreds, no chopped cilantro.

Zhao Chuanxin just put sliced ​​braised beef in the bowl.

The sea bowl was bigger than a person's face, and two large bowls with soup and noodles were served on the table.

"Xianyubin, stop pretending to be working, wash your hands quickly and come over for dinner."

Naturally, you have to be active when doing food. Xian Yubin said "Hey" happily, dropped the broom and jumped to wash his hands.
