Left, right, left!
Halt now! Turn right!
Pleased to welcome you, sir!
Haven't I told you to keep my visit secret?
Ronglu! What's he doing here?
Mister Itō! Greetings, greetings!
- Greetings, greetings! - Me too!
Welcome Mister Itō on your visit to China!
In order for me to provide convenience to you, why don't you tell me if you have planned to visit any place?
Thank you so much for your kindness. But His Excellency hasn't made any schedule yet.
If so… may I host a small welcome party at my residence tonight?
I don't know if Mister Itō would be able to come in my honour?
Thanks for your favour. But His Excellency has been instructed by a doctor to refrain from consuming liquor and luxurious meals. Please pardon.
What a great pity! Then, please visit me some other day. My pleasure! My pleasure!
Please carry on!
This way please, Excellency!
Commander Shima, as you have requested us to help the emperor of the Qing Empire, I think we might have to disappoint you.
For what reason?
Ronglu's arrival means the empress dowager is keeping her eye on everything. She might have even prepared to deal with us.
How could our news leak?
My deepest apology, sir! I'll check it later!
You may be a good soldier, but you're not fit to enter politics.
Your Majesty, today you must make those Japanese people well recognise the august presence of the emperor of China!
Kang Youwei wants me to offer wealth and ranks to Itō Hirobumi to persuade him to accept the post of visiting officer,
hoping that his experience in reforming Japan would help us succeed in reforming our own country.
But Itō Hirobumi is not Chinese. Would he be truthful to us?
The Reformers said that...
although the Japanese won the War of Jiawu, their manpower is still inferior to China.
Japan needs to form an alliance with us in order to beat the Westerners.
Therefore, I believe Itō would be willing to help us.
However, you invite a "foreign priest" to preach here, will "local monks" not object?
Let's meet him first. Let's see if our opinions are in agreement.
I... I'll keep watching him to prevent any hidden agenda. As for the rest, "meet the man first, decide later".
May I report, Lord of Ten Thousand Years!
- My guest has now come? - The comer is not your guest, but the Venerable Buddha.
Venerable Buddha?
Hasn't she retreated to Yihe Garden? Why return all of a sudden?
I know not.
Venerable Buddha arrives!
You son is here to welcome you! Good luck and good health I wish you!
Never mind!
You may rise!
Why didn't you tell me that you'd return to the palace? I'd have come out to receive you myself.
I know that you're very busy with state affairs.
I thus ordered them not to tell you, so that you'd not have to run here and there.
Thank you so much for you concern.
Maybe I have too much spare time. I don't know why I feel this bored!
You used to work a lot. Suddenly becoming free must be an unfamiliar feeling.
Like you said, I must have been born to be a hard worker!
May I report, Lord of Ten Thousand Years… ah… Venerable Buddha! Mister Itō has arrived!
Don't you see that I'm talking with the Venerable Buddha? Tell him to wait!
In fact, the emperor is having an important guest today!
Itō Hirobumi… isn't that the renowned prime minister of Japan?
Yes. But he's no longer the prime minister of Japan. He's not an important guest at all.
Why don't you let him in? I'd like to hear what this reform-minded premier of Japan would discuss with you.
What? You don't want me to be here whilst you're talking with him?
No, never once have I thought so!
- Allow Itō Hirobumi to an audience with me! - Sir!
Itō Hirobumi, audience granted!
Empress Mother, mind your step.
No worries, no worries!
Please carry on. I'll just listen.
I hereby pay respect to the emperor of the Great Qing Empire.
I, Hirobumi, travelled to your country on this occasion just for sightseeing.
It is my great honour to meet you today. May Your Majesty live for ten thousand years.
- Quickly! A chair! - Sir!
For so long have I heard of your name. Getting to see you in person is my delight!
[Cixi: cough!]
It is, indeed, my great privilege to have an audience with you today.
Every country praises the national reform in Japan.
All the nations applaud your works with all their heart.
Your complement is too much for me! Everything was done at the behest of our emperor. I just carried out my duties.
Both our countries live on the same continent. Close are the borders of the two nations.
As my country is launching a reform, I wish to hear your advice, hoping you will impart your experience in implementing the reform to me in every detail!
...impart your experience to the high officials at the Foreign Ministry.
I receive your command. I am willing to provide any advice which may be of benefit to your country.
How long will you stay in my country?
I intended to reside in your country for two weeks.
But it will take me seven or eight days to travel to Shanghai and cruise the Long River.
Then, I wish you a safe and enjoyable trip.
Thank you very much for your kindness. I hereby bid you farewell!
As per Mister Itō's analysis, the empress dowager and the emperor are of conflicting opinions. Their discord has deeply rooted.
Mister Itō feared that his arrival would be a trigger for both sides.
Somehow, we might be causing problems to the Reformers.
Mister Itō believes that a serious situation is going to take place in the imperial court?
This is a private talk. Please feel relieved, sir!
In the Qing Empire, the situations are very complicated.
Things that have been done in Japan and Europe may not be done here.
The emperor's reform is a premature change for the Qing Empire and is likely to fail.
It's hard to tell what the result will be.
Kenosuke, as you have long observed the situations, do you think the Reformers will succeed?
There are three things I have to accept, though reluctantly.
First, the Reformers have no power.
Second, they lack popular support.
Third, they are too optimistic.
In conclusion, no matter how we consider, the Reformers are not likely to win.
Commander, I have a request!
What's it?
If a change takes place that the Reformers are exposed to peril, would you please ask Mister Itō to intervene so as to save them?
If so... that'd give rise to an international conflict!
Under the international law, we are fully justified to intervene.
For the Qing Empire, these people are precious souls.
This is a good matter.
Commander, please hesitate not to help them!
