1563-1567: In which peace and quiet is hard to find
27 September 1563
I want my very own war ... these are my diaries ... I'm in charge of what happens
17 January 1564
In preparation for MY war I have been training the peacocks to drop burning peaches ... the local villagers are such numpties.
I mean what idiot sees a burning peach flying across the sky and thinks its a comet?
23 January 1564
More nimby [1] villagers objecting to my rigorous peacock training programme
6 May 1564
I have convinced Youjian that the next time he visits Nepal is at the head of an army of my special Peacocks
[H – aye, the lad does need his head examining]
7 June 1564
Now the peacocks are war ready I have to calm them with special music
26 September 1564
oh squeel, dance, we're almost ready ... my very very own war
28 September 1564
ah yes, my war, mine ... nothing to do with those two brutes ... all mine
oh
[H – ready]
[A – of course]
[H – ok lets go]
24 November 1564
well hello boys, what nice uniforms you have ...
2 March 1565
[H – right, thats her distracted, now where were we?]
[A – oh, that hurt]
[H - sorry]
2 August 1565
This is nice, a gentle place where those of a refined nature can sit and contemplate the finer things in life
27 September 1565
[A – heh not so rough]
[H – you started it]
Oi, this is MY war
20 January 1566
Oh people are so happy with me ... everything is going just so well
8 May 1566
[H – got you]
[A – I thought we said no gouging?]
[H – why?]
15 June 1566
my nice refined, decent, perfectly justified war has ended in complete victory
2 October 1566
[H – Am I not the winner around here]
[A – for once, maybe]
8 October 1566
[H – ok quits for now?]
[A – why not, see you again soon?]
[H – of course, hugs & kisses xxxxx]
10 January 1567
To acknowledge my brilliant victory, Youjian has agreed to build special hutches for my poor injured peacocks
19 June 1567
Oh, Youjian is such a softy really, its always good to see one of these emperors making suitable arrangements for the day they meet the last peacock ... or have their final peach ... or drink that last cup of tea.
