Over in Nicolo City, the gendarmerie was conducting armored training. Lu Ming would take a few hours every morning to participate, getting up at six o'clock and working with the armored soldiers until after nine o'clock. He was nowhere to be seen the rest of the time. In fact, because the Chinese New Year had just passed, almost all the senior military officers had returned to their home country to celebrate the New Year, and they basically had half a month or a month of annual leave.
In the Night Palace of the Japanese All Saints Palace, Lu Ming would sleep until ten o'clock and open his eyes on time.
In Nicolo City, because a balance was basically formed with the rebel organizations, the vast countryside was abandoned and only large cities and areas with developed transportation were ruled. The rebel organizations no longer attacked these areas, and Sonya's Legion and puppet troops no longer went to the countryside to "suppress bandits."
It was also the period since the conquest of the Western Regions when the senior military officers were the most relaxed. Only Lu Ming was still watching diligently.
Chief Bit's strong individual combat capability is increasingly admired by the armored soldiers.
In the past, they only knew that General Bit had profound insights into armored warfare, and every time he spoke, they were enlightened. However, they did not know that General Bit's personal combat ability was also so strong. This kind of personal ability seemed more down-to-earth and easier to convince people.
Whether as a commander or a strong fighter, Chief Bit's prestige in the Military Police Regiment is growing day by day.
Of course, in terms of personal combat capability, Lu Ming only showed that he was strong and powerful. In free fighting, he could beat three or four very strong opponents. He had extremely accurate marksmanship and a very keen sense of combat.
Of course, there would be no swordplay, lest the previous attack on Eucalyptus from South Funia be exposed.
Moreover, this is also the secret technique that I use to save my life in critical moments, so I cannot show it to others easily.
…
The area around the castle tower is full of old Kyoto communities. Lu Ming sat in a small restaurant and had breakfast. This was actually an izakaya, and there were red lanterns hanging outside, but they only sold breakfast and opened very early, so the red lanterns were temporarily covered with cloth.
Traditional Japanese breakfast, rice, miso soup and some side dishes.
Lu Ming slowly savored the soup in the small wooden bowl. Next to him sat Jinguji Heiji, who was beautiful and heroic in dark blue military uniform, with the silver star on her military badge shining brightly.
The guard lifted the door curtain, and Lu Yiman walked in. He came to Lu Ming and bowed, "Your Highness." He then said to Jinguji, "Two Directors!"
Lu Ming smiled and gestured, "Sit down, let's have breakfast together."
I looked up and was slightly startled, only to see that Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's cheeks were slightly red and swollen.
Lu Ming smiled and said, "Just came from the Prime Minister?"
Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was a little embarrassed: "Yes."
Lu Ming knew that Ashikaga Yoshimitsu must be nagging his father again, persuading his father to stop struggling, saying that he was old and should enjoy his retirement, and that the future of the country should be left to His Royal Highness the Regent and others, etc.
Every time the father and son talked about this topic, they would end up in a bad mood. Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was often beaten. As a filial son, he even had one of his sticks broken.
Ashikaga Yoshimitsu did not hide these things from Lu Ming, which was also a way for him to protect his old father.
Although the father and son have different political views, they will not hide anything from His Royal Highness the Prince and His Royal Highness the Regent. Moreover, my father is just a little old and confused, and I am also trying to persuade him.
Your Highness, you know exactly what he wants to do and who he is close to.
He has no intention of betraying you either.
In this case, Your Highness would naturally not feel comfortable assassinating my old father.
"Come, it's time to eat!" Lu Ming smiled at the shop owner at the bar, "Give our Ashikaga chief a portion as well."
Ashikaga Yoshimitsu smiled bitterly, knowing that His Royal Highness the Regent was fulfilling his promise to the citizens and would come to mingle with them regularly.
There were already many enthusiastic citizens outside the restaurant, but under the persuasion of the guards, they did not come in to disturb His Royal Highness the Regent's meal. Instead, they waited until His Royal Highness the Regent had finished dinner and then went out to chat with them.
The breakfast business at this restaurant was not very good, and now breakfast was over and lunch time had not yet arrived. Apparently, when the Regent came in, there were no other customers here.
The shop owner quickly brought a breakfast that was exactly the same as the one in front of Lu Ming, which was rice, side dishes and miso soup.
Although Ashikaga Yoshimitsu found it really unpalatable, he still pinched his nose and stuffed it into his mouth.
Lu Ming was chatting with the shop owner with a smile. When he heard the shop owner say that his wine sales were actually quite good and that the breakfast business was just to serve the neighbors, Lu Ming gave him a thumbs up.
The shop owner's face immediately glowed with happiness. Just looking at his expression, you could tell that this would be something he could brag about for the rest of his life.
Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was somewhat helpless. His Royal Highness the Prince Regent was exactly the same as His Royal Highness the Prince of Black Mountain Castle. They always liked to interact with ordinary citizens. However, the Prince of Black Mountain Castle strolled around the Central Plains with a small entourage and sometimes even took the bus when he went out. The Prince Regent learned this behavior and brought it to Japan.
…
After breakfast, Lu Ming met some members of the radical student army organization in the afternoon and then went to Montenegro. In the evening, Lu Ming returned to the All Saints Palace. As had been arranged earlier, he and Yuezhao would receive the visiting Yuanjiang Palace, who was Yuezhao's uncle.
Uncle Yuezhao was originally named Prince Zhizhong after his elder brother became the crown prince. However, from the day of Yuezhao's wedding, when his nephew and niece ascended the throne, according to royal tradition, his uncle automatically lost his title of prince and restored his childhood name "Yuanjiang Palace" before being named prince. From then on, he became a side branch of the royal line. The regent's right to inherit the throne was before that of the side branches, not to mention the queen's offspring.
But after all, he is Yuezhao's uncle and they have a relationship of kinship, so he is different from other side branches. That's why he can enter the palace to meet the queen. But in the future, like other side branches, he will gradually become an ordinary Japanese citizen.
After meeting with Yuan Jianggong, Lu Ming had a good chat with him.
Yuanjianggong is very open-minded, yearns for the life of ordinary people, and has a good personality. He repeatedly reminds His Royal Highness the Regent to look at the moon well, and it can be seen that he is sincere.
No matter what he thought of this marriage in the past, the matter has been settled, and he now hopes that his niece and her husband can live in harmony and grow old together.
After seeing off Yuanjiang Palace, Lu Ming washed up and prepared to return to his dormitory. In fact, he went back to Heishan. He spent the New Year in Shengjing Palace, but for the past few days, he stayed at Shili Villa in Heishan.
But I didn't expect that just as I lay down, I heard a figure kneeling outside the grille door, and Jinguji Heiji's voice said, "Your Highness, His Majesty asked if you had rested. If not, please go to Chengping Court to talk."
"Okay!" Lu Ming responded.
…
Chengping Court is located at the easternmost part of the All Saints Palace. It is a completely classical Central Plains architectural style. The main building, Chengping Hall, is magnificent, with golden pillars with coiled dragons, a royal platform and a dragon throne. The layout is said to be no different from the former Central Plains Imperial Palace.
At this time, Queen Yuezhao was standing in the Chengping Hall. Her gorgeous colorful kimono made her look even more sacred and inviolable in this magnificent hall.
"I heard that a thousand years ago, this hall was the most sacred place in the All Saints Palace. Ceremonies such as the enthronement of a new king and the enthronement of a crown prince were usually held here." Yue Zhao's tender voice echoed in the hall with a unique majesty.
Lu Ming nodded slightly.
"But my husband, look, the golden dragon on the Coiled Dragon Pillar and the Sleeping Dragon on the Dragon Throne both have three claws. Legend has it that they were designed according to the regulations of the Yin'an Palace of the Zhongzhou Dynasty a thousand years ago, which are also the regulations for the Prince of Zhongzhou. At that time, the king of my country, Dongying, was like the Prince of Zhongzhou." Queen Yuezhao's white and tender little hand gently supported Lu Ming's wrist and took Lu Ming to see the subtle details of the carvings on the dragon pillar and the dragon throne.
"It seems like we have returned to a thousand years ago. I, the Queen of Japan, can only be your concubine, Your Highness the Crown Prince!" Queen Yuezhao smiled sweetly, "That's not right. A thousand years ago, no prince of Central Continent could marry the Queen of Japan, let alone make her his concubine!" She glanced at Lu Ming, "My husband, in fact, I am like one of your concubines? But you use an incarnation to prevent the world from knowing the truth?"
In this Japanese palace, looking at the scenes of the old dynasty, listening to the majestic and charming Japanese queen say that she is your concubine, and, indeed, she is her concubine.
Lu Ming coughed, and this really seemed to be full of satisfaction of conquest.
Especially if you substitute some special feelings from your past life into your mind, it seems that you will have an even more strange feeling in your heart.
Yuezhao held Lu Ming's wrist and walked slowly onto the dragon throne on the imperial platform. His colorful socks and wooden clogs made a crisp sound in the hall.
The dragon throne was very large, like a small bed, covered with yellow satin cushions.
"My dear husband, please take a seat." After Lu Ming sat down, Yue Zhao slowly sat down beside Lu Ming on the dragon throne.
Sitting on the high imperial platform, Lu Ming looked down at the magnificent palace, and an indescribable strange feeling arose in his heart.
Yue Zhao leaned gently to the side, lazily resting on the huge armrest of the dragon throne which was also covered with yellow cushions. Her wooden clogs clicked to the ground, and a pair of charming jade feet in colorful socks slowly rose up, drawing a graceful arc, and gently landed on Lu Ming's thigh.
Lu Ming turned his head and saw Yue Zhao leaning on the golden satin armrest with her beautiful eyes tightly closed. Her slender white hands nervously grasped the pale yellow satin hanging beside her, and her seductive feet in colorful stockings were moving slowly on his thighs.
Lu Ming laughed in silence. Yue Zhao was naturally anxious. Deep down in her heart, she must have thought that marrying him was a shame. However, she needed to give birth to a child for him as soon as possible so that she could attack or defend, with unlimited possibilities.
However, although she tried her best and even chose this place on purpose to stimulate her racial chauvinism and take the initiative to tease herself, she was still a virgin after all, so she was a bit awkward and immature.
However, when Lu Ming was about to say something, he suddenly froze...
Although her pretty face was extremely shy and her body was even trembling, even though her movements were immature, Lu Ming swallowed the words he wanted to say completely, and his anger rose even more...
The queen, who was revered as a goddess by all the people of Japan, was now in the golden palace, dressed in gorgeous clothes and looked even more majestic, but her embarrassing behavior was full of shyness and helplessness, which inevitably made people feel extremely excited and excited...
