1084 Oath!
What does it feel like to take off your pants and fart? Now what Xiao Letian does is a typical fart! The entire Ryukyu ministers have already recognized the Chinese order. Whether it is the direct line promoted by Xiao Letian or the Shangtai King power protected by the Chinese order, they are extremely excited to accept this nearly perfect system.
There are not only those who oppose it. Emperor Tongzhi Zaichun, Qing Sanye and others do not agree with this bullshit Chinese order, and the envoys from other countries who come to watch the ceremony are also vigilant about this system.
But what's the use of being vigilant? They are just VIPs to watch the ceremony, and they are not Ryukyu subjects naturally do not have the right to vote.
In fact, even if more than 60% of people oppose it, Xiao Letian can forcefully pass this decree with the pressure of the new army, because no matter in any era, the army is always the most effective means to control the regime.
There was no resistance, but Xiao Letian insisted on taking off his pants and farting to do such a voting process. Many people do not understand but do not understand and must implement it.
Many years later, Xiao Letian once wrote in his memoirs that taking off his pants and farting seems to be a waste of time, but looking at the problem from a different angle, if he takes off his pants and farting, at least the smell will not stain the clothes.
What are clothes? Clothes are the facade of a regime, the fig leaf of the system, and the first impression seen by various ethnic groups when competing with each other.
For the Chinese people, the Chinese Code is indeed a very integrated and comfortable little cotton jacket, but we not only need the comfort of this small cotton jacket, but sometimes we have to pay attention to the bright appearance of this cotton jacket!
I, Xiao Letian, pretended to behave, with the purpose of not wanting the odor of farting to be smeared on the fabric, and finally let other ethnic groups point fingers behind their backs and jokes when the first code of Chinese history was released.
With such a formal voting and oath ceremony, we have at least an explanation for history and future generations, which will make the Chinese Code more popular.
If you understand the Prime Minister's order, you need to implement it. If you don't understand, then deepen your understanding in the execution! King Shangtai was the first to walk to the middle of the hall. The document was placed on the rosewood table, and the silver candlesticks around him lit up dozens of candles. The hall was shining brightly.
"The King of Ryukyu Shangtai! With the blood of my ancestors, I voluntarily join the Chinese nation, accept the constraints of the Chinese nation, enjoy the power granted by the Chinese nation, and comply with the Chinese nation's orders as the fundamental constitution of the Chinese nation..."
Xiao Letian nodded. Naturally, a servant next to him recorded this scene with a camera, followed by the senior Ryukyu officials around King Shangtai. Although these people are not as powerful as those under the Prime Minister's Scene, their identities are high!
The relatives of King Shangtai and the old ministers of Ryukyu walked to the Chinese order one by one and pressed the document to take the oath! Maybe they didn't think of the glory of the Chinese at that moment, but they were at least sure of it.
"The Prime Minister finally made a promise, finally there was a rule, and his heart finally came to an end!" The worries that the Ryukyu ministers, who had been worried for several years, finally disappeared at this moment.
In fact, King Shangtai had already figured it out that he could not get the power of Ryukyu. From the moment Prime Minister Yangwei Europa fought against the Qing Dynasty, King Shangtai knew that his monk's father was not a first-level opponent at all.
Moreover, when King Shangtai studied Western learning more and more deeply, he realized how arrogant his ideal was when he was a child.
Any powerful country in the world has many populations, resources, technology, and a strong army and advanced system. Ryukyu is too small, with a small population, and has no strategic resources. A powerful army is in the hands of the prime minister, and technology can only rely on others to give alms.
The only way for such a weak country to be annexed in the future is the way of annexation. The only difference is the method of annexation. Annexation like Shangfu is simply a first prize. It can retain its throne, provide protection, and maintain the ancestral temple. If you are not satisfied, you will be retribution.
King Shangtai withdrew from the historical stage from now on, but in a sense he was reborn again. After the Chinese Code was officially implemented, King Shangtai left all his burdens and went into battle with more than 20 followers, traveling around the world as a king.
He lived a colorful life. He worked as an auditor at Oxford and Cambridge University in the United Kingdom for several years, taught Asian aristocratic etiquette at Harvard University in the United States for half a year, went to Alaska to invest in gold mines, and ate raw fish with the Eskimos in Canada.
His figure is found in the Sun Temple in the South American jungle, and his footsteps are found in the ancient Egyptian tombs on the Nile River!
King Shangtai finally became a very famous sinologist of the Chinese nation, an East Asian historian, traveler, explorer, and gourmet... He has published dozens of best-selling books in his life and is regarded as a classic by the academic circles of various countries. However, throughout his life, Shangtai has never written a book about politics, and has not even mentioned the topic.
On Shangtai's 80th birthday, a Western reporter once asked this question. At that time, Xiao Letian was gone. Shangtai cried in tears and said, "With Shang's father here, how dare I be the son? Shang's father is like the scorching sun in the sky. I am just a humble firefly. How dare I speak? What qualifications do I have to speak!"
In the end, King Shangtai said, and did not dare to complain about Xiao Letian. On the contrary, the more Shangtai became, the more he missed Shangfu's goodness, because he knew very well that without the Chinese code of the prime minister, he would not have such a blessing.
After the monarch and ministers of Ryukyu were taken, the important officials of all sizes and major in the Prime Minister's shogunate lined up to start taking the oath. The Four Heavenly Kings took the lead and then Mr. Long, Chun Shisanniang and others also walked up to take the oath. Soon, the number of people who took the oath had exceeded 60%.
The Ryukyu Order finally came into effect. From now on, this is the fundamental constitution of the Chinese people. All the affiliated codes extended from the Ryukyu Code must follow the spirit of not violate this fundamental constitution.
The code came into effect, but the ceremony did not take effect, and the oath continued. When the officials of Ryukyu collectively completed the oath, it was already ten o'clock in the evening.
Everyone forgot about hunger and fatigue, and all kinds of strange lights were emitted from everyone's eyes. Just as Xiao Letian was about to announce the end of his oath, a voice suddenly came from the VIP seat.
"Can I take an oath? Prime Minister, you can't want me..." People turned their heads and saw that it was the Niu Zhangguan from the Sihai Commercial Company.
The Niu Shopkeeper was flushed and he plucked his courage and said, "This is unfair. Why are all officials who take the oath? Are we businessmen abandoned? Are there craftsmen? Is Tanggu not under the rule of the Prime Minister?"
"Guiu, Niu! Tanggu... Tanggu is under the rule of the Qing Dynasty, and your identity is a Qing Dynasty!" Xiao Letian asked back.
"Where is dual nationality? Sir, don't you recognize dual nationality? Don't bully me, Lao Niu, don't understand the law. You have said before that Ryukyu recognizes dual nationality! Why don't you..."
Xiao Letian smiled bitterly and shook his head, "After the Chinese Code is promulgated, temporary noble parliament and citizen parliament will be organized within ten days. Only when the citizen parliament is officially established can you have a place to submit your application! Don't worry, wait patiently for a few days, okay?"
Chapter completed!
