.Japan, Tokyo, Imperial Palace.

In a small but elegantly decorated room sat a woman in a kimono and thick rouge on her face, and a young woman kneeled in front of her. After a question and answer, the two greeted each other, and then a luxuriously dressed servant took the woman out.

After that, the woman turned her head halfway, and there was a door that could be tied behind her, and there was a small gap between the door and the door frame.

"Your Highness, are you satisfied with the one just now?" the woman asked in a low voice. Although the rouge on her face was thick, she could tell that she was only in her early thirties. The kimono on her body was made of excellent fabric, and with that extraordinary temperament, her identity was evident.

Behind the crack of the door was a very delicate male face, with a beard on his lips, but it was not yet thick. He was wearing a yellow army lieutenant uniform and his short hair was combed very neatly.

As for his voice, it was light but not lacking in strength.

"My mother, please call the next one!"

The woman turned to the attendant standing at the door and nodded slightly.

The attendant then shouted in a unique tone: "Next, Kuagumiya family, Goodson!"

Half a minute later, a young woman slowly walked in with her head down. She was also in a gorgeous kimono and thick rouge. Her long hair that was hanging to her buttocks was black and beautiful, and her small ears showed a piece of her hair. She walked gracefully to the woman's body, and knelt on the pure white satin mat embroidered with golden patterns, and kept her head hanging before the woman opened her mouth.

"Look up!" the woman said gently.

The woman nodded and slowly raised her head.

This is the face of a fourteen-five-year-old girl. Her appearance is not as beautiful as the national beauty, but it also makes people feel comfortable. Her small lips are covered with bright red Zhu Dan, and her body under the kimono looks neither fat nor thin.

The woman looked at this face carefully for a while before asking:

"Is Prince Lingzunjiuer Palace in good health recently?"

The woman immediately leaned forward until she lay respectfully on the ground, "I ask Your Highness for your blessing, my father is in good health! My father also asked me to say hello to His Majesty the Emperor, His Highness and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince on his behalf!"

The woman then asked:

"What are your hobbies on weekdays?"

The woman once again replied: "Tea art, embroidery, playing the piano, playing chess, practicing calligraphy, and painting!"

"Very good!" The woman commented calmly, but she didn't know that the young soldier behind the door had a look that was very different from before.

After a brief question, the woman was taken out by the servant as usual.

"Your Highness, how about this?" the woman turned her head and asked the young man behind the door.

The boy forgot to speak for a moment.

A faint smile appeared on the corner of the woman's mouth. After turning her head, she still nodded to the servant at the door.

"Next, Konomiya..."

Berlin, Germany.

"The Japanese Crown Prince chooses a concubine?"

Tatsuki leaned against the chair. Time flies so fast. When he met Hirohito last time, the crown prince was just a 15-year-old child, and now he is about to start choosing a concubine. But it is no wonder that the Japanese royal family has always been married very early. Emperor Taisho gave birth to Hirohito when he was 18 years old, and Hirohito's mother was only 16 years old at that time.

"Yes, Your Majesty! The Japanese royal family has searched all over the country for this matter. All women with appropriate identities and ages have been on the candidate list! Because the imperial concubine is the future queen, all political forces in Japan have linked her with their future political honor and disgrace. Therefore, the open choice of concubine will eventually become open and secretly fighting between the two major vassal families of Changzhou and Satsuma, as well as the royal family and political forces!"

After saying that, Chen Tian’s intelligence chief Shiffert added: “This is their practice!”

Chen Tian pondered for a while, "About the selection of concubines in the Japanese royal family... I think we are not suitable for intervening, but we should pay close attention! The Changzhou faction, who has mastered the army, has lost its former spirit since the one-day coup. However, they still have a great influence in the Japanese government and the opposition, and they are more opposed to the German-Japanese alliance. Compared with the Changzhou faction, the Satsuma faction, which has mastered the Japanese navy, has a more harmonious relationship with us. They are also the most actively supporting the German-Japanese alliance in the Japanese government. As for other royal families and political forces in Japan, their power or not is also related to our future strategy!"

"What your Majesty mean is to wait and see what happens?"

"Yes, wait and see!"

Chen Tian arched his chin with his hands crossed. Who was Hirohito's queen in history? He could never remember it.

Tokyo, Japan.

Under the cherry tree, the young man in the army lieutenant uniform was thinking, so even his mother did not notice it even after he came behind him.

"Your Highness!"

Hearing his mother's voice, the boy turned around and bowed:

"Mother Queen!"

"Your Highness must have fallen in love with a girl today!" the woman said with a smile.

The boy's face suddenly turned red like a fire, "It makes my mother laugh!"

The woman was very happy, she was afraid that no one of the women in the royal family would look down on her own sons.

"So let me guess, is it the Rimotomiya family's Fangzi? A family place of the Makotoko? Or... the Kuo'er Miya family's Liangzi?"

"They...they are all excellent!" The boy kept silent and didn't say which one it was.

**Looking at him from the side, "Tell Your Highness a good news, the secret examination results of the intra-court research have come out!"

"Is that so? What's the result?" the boy asked with great concern. Generally speaking, women who passed the intrauterine examination are the most ideal candidates for the imperial concubine. Although others still have a chance, there may be a lot of opposition.

"The most ideal candidate is...the Toshiko from Yi family, and...the Yoshiko from the Kuori family!"

When ** said the next name, the boy was obviously relieved.

Seeing that the young man still didn't speak, ** said deliberately: "If I were asked to choose, I would choose the eldest daughter of Prince Jue Palace, but from the very beginning, I hope that Your Highness will choose his concubine himself, so if Your Highness wants to choose a family magistrate, I will never object!"

"No, Mother!" the boy lowered his head, "I think you have a good vision!"

"Okay, Hirohito!" ** still maintained that faint, sad smile, "Like it is like it, there is nothing to be shy about!"

The boy raised his head, his eyes flashing slightly.

Not long after, the Interior Minister Hatano conveyed the meaning of Queen Sakiko to the Kuagu family. The two families then exchanged engagement tokens, and the engagement contract was settled in this way.

However, the marriage did not go smoothly because of the approval of both parties. Because Ryoko's grandfather Prince Asahiko suppressed the side-staff faction of the Choshu family during the Makuma-madon's rebellion, Ryoko's mother was born in the Shimazu family of the Satsuma family, which made Tanaka Yoshiichi, who were born in the Panjun family of the Changzhou Prefecture, decided to stop the marriage (in this book, Aritomoto died in a coup in 1909, according to historical development. Tanaka Yoshiichi would become the new leader of the Panjun family).

First, the opponents published an article in a medical journal in Tokyo based on materials provided by the former director of the Red Cross Hospital, which traced the genetic process of color blindness in the Satsuma Fan Shimazu family from the perspective of genetics. Since Ryoko's mother was born in the Shimazu family, such as Hirohito got married with Ryoko, the royal blood of the body brought in this bad genetic factor, and the Emperor of Earth may become color blind in the future.

Then, Tanaka and others encouraged the two elders, Nishienji Gongwang and Masayoshi Matsukata, to terminate the engagement between the two families in the name of maintaining the "holy" of the royal bloodline. After that, Prince Fushimiami Hakukong was invited to be a lobbyist and tried to persuade Kuagumi to take the initiative to request the severance of the engagement.

After winter came, it snowed early in Tokyo.

After hearing the news that the court opposed his marriage with Ryoko, Hirohito stood in Dongyuan on the snowy ground for several hours.

"Your Highness, you're still standing outside in such a cold day. It's not good if you catch a cold!" Empress Shizuko hurriedly came from her residence when she heard the eunuch report. Although Hirohito was not her only son, she was the smartest and most beloved in her eyes. As for Shizuko's husband, Hirohito's father, the current ruler of Japan, Emperor Taisho, suffered from meningitis frequently and suffered from childhood. Although her health improved slightly after adulthood, she often felt a little unconscious after receiving subordinates and foreign envoys. Therefore, Empress Shizuko was often assistant to government affairs, and the virtuous mother was also the one who got along more with Hirohito.

Hirohito turned his head and bowed to the queen, with a very serious expression on his face.

"Please rest assured to my mother. My son just wants to breathe fresh air!"

"I know that Your Highness is worried about his marriage with Liangzi! But please don't worry, the royal family's affairs are not enough to interrupt!" The woman suddenly said in a very firm tone.

"My mother..." The boy's eyes were not as firm as his expression.

"Your Highness, you will sooner or later ascend the throne! Please remember that as the ruler of this country, your will is everything!" After the woman said that, she bowed and left with her servants.

The snow began to fall in the sky again, and the boy turned around and continued to stand in the snow.

After winter, the temperature in Berlin continued to be low, and Christmas was not yet on. Heavy snow followed one after another. Whenever Chen Tian looked up and looked out the window, the silver-wrapped world always allowed him to keep a peaceful mind and think about everything.

On the evening after a heavy snowfall, there was still a rich cup of black coffee on his desk, and a plate of exquisite snacks next to it. It was the first batch of butter nut chocolate produced by the chocolate workshop of King Adamas of the Kingdom of Austria, nearly 10 years earlier than the Belgians invented them in history. Of course, they would also bring a considerable income to the King of Austria.

However, it has been for most of the day since the snacks were stored here, but Chen Tian did not mean to enjoy them. First of all, he was not very interested in chocolates, and as decorations, they were much safer than food.

Dongdongdongdongdong

The door of the study room was gently knocked.

"Come in!"

After the door opened, the attendant Feng Jonalet appeared at the door. The emperor's attendant, who had been recuperating for more than a year due to injury, finally returned from injury not long ago. Although his left hand inevitably suffered a little disability, this did not prevent him from continuing to serve his loyalty to the royal family.

"Your Majesty, Colonel Shiffert is here!"

"Well, let him come in!"

"yes!"

Then, Shiffert, who had gained a little weight and became more and more bare on his head, quickly walked into the study. According to his convention, he had to wait until the attendant closed the door before he was willing to speak, and this time he was still the same.

"Your Majesty, this is the latest news we have received. The Japanese are starting to have internal conflicts!"

Chen Tian took Shiffert's report and read it briefly. The situation was not as serious as he said just now. It was just that a group of people led by the Choshu clan used color blindness as an excuse to oppose the marriage of the eldest daughter of the Crown Prince Hirohito and Prince Kuori's daughter.

"Ryoko Kua'eri..." Chen Tian read the name gently. He had not delved into Japanese history. Fortunately, he happened to hear about this name and the famous color blindness incident.

"We can let our ambassador to Tokyo go to the event, so that the Japanese, especially the Kuaomiya family and the Satsuma family know that we are happy to see the daughter of the Kuaomiya family and the royal prince!

But remember to touch each other indirectly, so as not to make people feel that we are intentionally interfering in their royal affairs!”

"I understand, your majesty!" Shiffort's words were still so concise and clear.

Soon after, the situation developed as Chen Tian expected. The Changzhou faction was soon attacked by the Kuagumi family, the Satsuma faction and some political leaders. Among them, Prince Kuagumi had the toughest attitude. His reputation was the first proposed by the royal family. The royal family should be executed if it was terminated. However, if the royal family really terminated the engagement between Hirohito and Ryoko, he would kill Ryoko first, and then he and his family would have a caesarean section due to humiliation. Former Prime Minister Hirohito, Murata Yamamoto and others also firmly supported Prince Kuagumi. The prince's teacher Shigekazu Sugiura Shigekazu also attacked the Changzhou faction based on the Chinese motto "The Emperor's Words and Nine Tripods". Subsequently, the queen and the prince themselves also clearly stated that they had no intention of changing the engagement.

Under the strong pressure of public opinion from all walks of life, Yoshiichi Tanaka, who was surrounded by enemies, had to resign from his position as Minister of the Mainland. Yujiro Nakamura, a minister from the Changzhou Sect, was also resigned from his position as minister. The Changzhou Sect became the object of condemnation for a time, and its influence in the court and the opposition quickly weakened.

In the end, the Japanese Inner Palace concluded the storm with a brief but very direct statement: Despite all the rumors in the world, the above decision has not changed.
