The congressman was very honored to be able to introduce the benefits of his own political system to the emperor of the Qing Dynasty. This time, the Eastern envoys visited Europe. Everyone knows that one of the main tasks of the young emperor was to study. He wanted to travel the world to learn from the strengths of other countries and ultimately provide reference for the reform of the Qing Dynasty.

Being able to instill the advantages of constitutional monarchy into the Eastern emperors and influence the reform of the national policy of the Qing Dynasty was a dream for almost all British politicians.

Why Zai Chun is so highly treated? This is actually a very important reason. Selling the British political model to China is not just a political action, but also has deep interest considerations behind it.

Only by allowing the Qing Dynasty to implement policies similar to the British system as much as possible can we conduct subsequent negotiations on more business. Only when the political system wants to be a British person will we not be confused and unable to find a way.

Just like the current British capitalists lie on the map of the Qing Dynasty every day to study how to pave the railway. This is a bigger business than tea, silk, and porcelain.

The wheels turn will cost tens of millions of gold! I don’t need to explain in detail how much money the railway makes.

However, the Qing Dynasty's own political system was really weird. The British could not find any way. Ordinary small businesses were easy to say, and they could only negotiate with officials at the prefecture and county level.

However, it involves a large investment of tens of millions of pounds and inviting domestic cross-provincial railway construction. Such a business must be negotiated with the court. This is a big deal between countries.

But can we talk about it? After Emperor Tongzhi ascended the throne, the two empress dowagers and young emperors who dominated the Qing Dynasty did not even see the foreign ambassadors in Dongjiaominxiang.

Although Britain, France, the United States and Russia used war to pry open the door of the Qing Empire and forced them to agree to the European powers to set up an embassy in Beijing, they did not expect that the Qing Dynasty would still have a way to perfunctory them.

Don't you want to build an embassy? Then build it, I can't beat you anyway, but you let us go to London, Paris, and Washington to build an embassy too? Sorry, we are very reluctant to endure it.

What? Are you going to go to the Forbidden City to meet the Empress Dowager and the Little Emperor? Please, is it okay for the little emperor to have not taken charge of the government yet? No one can see outsiders!

You said you want to meet the Empress Dowager? Oh... I'm so brave. Don't you know if men and women are not allowed to marry each other? You don't want to be famous, but our Empress Dowager of the Qing Dynasty has to be ashamed!

How can a widow meet outsiders? How can a widow show up in public? And you also see a group of foreigners. How bad it sounds like this when it is spread!

If the emperor cannot see him or the empress dowager cannot see him, then we can only find Prince Gong from the Zongli Yamen!

But unexpectedly, Prince Gong shrugged helplessly, and I couldn't do anything! The power is in the hands of the Empress Dowager, and I can't do such a big thing.

Come on, just kick the ball back into the Forbidden City. If you want to go to the Forbidden City again, then what you are waiting for is still waiting for you, just turn back and forth like a donkey pulling a mill.

The European diplomats who stayed in China at this moment were all troubled by the Qing Dynasty's behavior of playing football. Even Xiao Letian was curious about the purpose behind this behavior.

However, after Xiao Letian used many resources from the CIA to dig out the truth from countless Qingliu and senior officials in the court, the truth made Xiao Letian laugh and cry.

After all, it was the issue of kneeling and worshipping. What the Empress Dowager and the princes were thinking about is whether foreign ministers would kneel down and worship if they entered the Forbidden City to negotiate with the Emperor and the Empress Dowager?

The foreign devils will definitely not kneel down, but the Qing Dynasty still has to be decent. After a while of confusion, the Qing Dynasty missed the opportunity for reform year after year.

The mystery of history has finally been revealed. Xiao Letian once read a unofficial historical notes left by the Qing people in his previous life, which records some small highlights of Emperor Tongzhi's wedding.

When the European ministers in Dongjiaomin Lane were tortured by the Qing Dynasty's kicking balls, they finally waited for the moment of Emperor Tongzhi's wedding.

According to the law, Emperor Tongzhi had to take over the authority of the empire after his wedding. At this time, the minister could meet His Majesty directly, so that the Queen Mother's excuses for playing past the ball would not be used.

As long as you can see the emperor alone, the European envoys believe that moving him with emotion and reason can definitely convince the Chinese emperor. After all, the little emperor still has a dream of a strong country in his heart.

But I never expected that the Qing Dynasty only accepted wedding gifts from European countries, but only allowed the European ministers to rest outside the Ganqing Palace. To put it bluntly, it was to prevent foreign devils from entering the main venue of the wedding.

The foreigners were anxious and joined forces to break into the palace. This made the entire Qing Dynasty court burst into trouble. In order to calm the incident, Prince Gong, on behalf of the Empress Dowager and others, quickly appeased these foreigners and promised to arrange another time for the emperor to see these envoys alone.

It was after this conflict that the Qing Dynasty officially abolished the rule that foreign ministers had to kneel down and worship. Since then, envoys from European countries, including Japan, which later defeated the Qing Dynasty, their envoys no longer had to kneel down and kowtow when they entered the Forbidden City.

Whenever Xiao Letian thinks of this, he can't help but sigh. He recalls a famous saying from the famous pen in his previous life, "In China, even if you have to move a table, you will have to bleed!"

The inertia left by the feudal dynasty for thousands of years is so powerful that these Europeans cannot even use guns and cannons to reverse it.

If you go to war with me, you defeat me, then I will cede land and pay compensation! But if you want to change some of my traditional habits? That's not possible, this is the family law of our ancestors!

This is a true portrayal of the Qing Empire at that time. It is precisely because of this background that Emperor Tongzhi's visit made Europeans so excited.

They finally found an opportunity to directly influence the Chinese emperor, and this little emperor is still so young, which is the critical moment to shape the worldview.

Whoever can influence Emperor Tongzhi can influence the direction of China for at least fifty years in the future, and at the same time, it has won countless business opportunities.

Today, Emperor Tongzhi showed a strong interest in the British parliamentary system, which excited all the British politicians present.

"Dear Your Majesty! The empire must be cautious in governing. A new policy must be handled by many tests. There is no policy that can satisfy everyone. All we have to do is to satisfy the interests of the majority!"

"If a proposal cannot even justify the doubts of the parliament, then it can only be said that the proposal is wrong or immature!"
