624 The Human Trafficker Xiao Letian
This is the end of the dynasty meeting. When the issue reaches the time when the new army will evacuate Beijing, it means that all the contradictions have been resolved. Finally, it is time for Xiao Letian to express his sincerity.
Your new army has taken advantage of it, and the Tanggu Special Zone has been expanded more than ten times. How much money do you have to earn for ten years of tax exemption? Moreover, your crime of leading troops to fight the court has been cleared. It would be unreasonable if you don’t leave at this time.
Xiao Letian knew that his new army had to leave. He had not yet taken over the strength of the entire Qing Empire. He was able to lead troops to Beijing this year because of the stupidity of Cixi and the conservatives that he found a flaw.
You must leave, but Xiao Letian still has one last attempt that he did not say, and one attempt that could cause the entire empire to collapse.
Xiao Letian walked out of the court with a deep face, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother... The foreign minister has the last suggestion, please allow the court to approve it."
"The Qing Dynasty has been in charge of China for 200 years. From the creation of the past tense when we entered the pass to the maturity of the three prosperous dynasties of Kangxi, Yongzheng and Gan, our Qing Dynasty has expanded its territory and educated all the people... The efforts of several generations of heroes have created a huge empire in the world's largest territory..."
Xiao Letian flattered at the beginning, filming Shunzhi, Kangxi, Yongzheng, Qianlong... all the achievements of the emperors of generations, and in the end, the royal family were all a little embarrassed.
But just as the court officials were enjoying Xiao Letian's praise, his words suddenly changed and began to reveal the scars.
"But since the Daoguang period, the dynasty has gradually declined. In reality, there are many uprisings and riots in the Tianli Sect and the White Lotus Sect. Then, opium poisons came from the sea to poison the military and civilians. In the end, the dynasty of the Hairy even swept half of the country... There were several wars with foreigners, and our dynasty was defeated again and again..."
Xiao Letian really didn't give him face. He made up all the unbearable past events in the court, and the ministers' faces turned red and white.
The people standing in the hall were all the human spirits in the empire. When everyone heard Xiao Letian's words, they raised their spirits. They knew that the time for the brilliance of the map was finally here.
"Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, all the great masters... Why are our country constantly losing battles? Why are our country full of wind and air everywhere? In fact, it is just one thing, just learning in the West is spreading east."
"Look at the world today, Western learning has entrenched Europe and has extended its tentacles to the world. Beneath warships, artillery and foreign guns, the power of Western learning is actually inspiring. Those who follow me will prosper and rebel against me will perish. How many small countries in the Middle Ages were destroyed, and how many primitive tribal nations were sold into slaves."
"Yes, there are indeed countless unyielding righteous men in this world who are resisting Western learning, but all resistance is futile. The Indians in the north were almost killed, the ancient Inca kingdoms in South America have long been destroyed, and the Kunlun slaves in Africa have even become slaves..."
"In India, that is, the Indians where Tang Monk learned the scriptures, have now become a colony of Britain and France. The state authority is completely in the hands of Westerners. Let's look at our north. The country of Rakshasa is trying to expand its power in Siberia, and the estuary of Vladivostok is occupied by them."
"There is no more peach blossom land in this world, and the only way to be beaten is to be beaten..." Xiao Letian's tone became louder and louder, and his emotions became more and more excited.
"I know you have all the injustice in your hearts. You hate the Western robbery even more. In your heart, I don't want to do business with you, so why did it be a sin? I don't want to date you. Isn't this the right of our Qing Dynasty?"
"But you are wrong. This world is already a naked jungle law. The strong don't have to consider your principles at all. I want to do business with you. If you don't agree, we will hit you until you agree. We say you want your Qing Dynasty to open the country's door. If you don't agree, we will use artillery to bomb your door..."
"No matter how you cry, no matter how you are entangled in the principles taught by the saints... As long as the enemy is stronger than you, all the principles you stick to are just a big deal..."
"Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, all the ministers... In order to prevent the national dynasty from perishing and to prevent China from perishing, foreign minister Xiao Letian dared to ask the court to promote Western learning, and to allow the court to allow the minister to teach Western learning for His Majesty, and to ask His Majesty to go out of the Forbidden City to travel around the world and study in the world."
The three courageous fights almost exhausted the air in Xiao Letian's lungs, and the roar vibrated the entire Hall of Supreme Harmony. The timid eunuch, who was weak in energy and blood, was actually scared by Xiao Letian.
The entire hall was silent at this moment, and the needle was silent and could be heard very clearly. Everyone was not saying that they were shocked by Xiao Letian's boldness. Xiao Letian made a proposal that no one could agree to, especially the last one, which was even lawless.
"Rebellion, rebellion... Is this going to rebel? Xiao Letian, you crazy..." Weng Tonghe was the first to fire at him. "The emperor is the emperor of the Nine Five, how can he be scattered among the people? You are going to kill the country..."
"Rebellious ministers, ruthless officials..." All the Qingliu officials jumped up and cursed Xiao Letian. Touching the emperor was to touch their lives. Confucianism and imperial power were originally a relationship between trees and vines. Now that Xiao Letian is going to dig away the roots of the tree, how could they not be angry?
At this time, no one was concerned about the etiquette and righteousness of the grand dynasty meeting. Weng Tonghe and the Qingliu Hanlin people surrounded Xiao Letian. They took out classical Chinese, vernacular Chinese, and even pre-Qin ancient Chinese, and quoted classics to denounce Xiao Letian's rudeness and abuse of law.
However, Xiao Letian didn't have time to talk to them. His eyes were just staring at Emperor Tongzhi on the throne and the ten-year-old Aisin Jueluo Zaichun.
"Come on, Zaichun comes to Uncle, I will take you to travel the mountains and rivers of the Qing Dynasty. I will take you to climb the five mountains of Mount Tai, raft on West Lake, and enjoy the foggy pine trees on Huangshan..." Xiao Letian's eyes were saying live.
"Really, I can go to Fengshan on Mount Tai, I can go to the Yangtze River to drift, and I can also see the country of Tianfu with my own eyes. I can really walk the Shu road myself." The little emperor could also speak with his eyes.
"Of course, all your wishes can help you do it. Not only that, I can also take you to travel the whole world, making you the first emperor in China to travel the world in 5,000 years..." Xiao Letian's eyes became even more eager.
"The world, let me travel the entire earth? Can I see the exotic style in the Westward Journey to the West with my own eyes?" The little emperor's eyes also became eager.
"Yes, yes, I will take you to the Pacific Ocean to watch whales, that is, fish that swallow boats. I will also take you to the Indian Ocean island for vacation, allowing you to lie on the most beautiful beach in the world to watch the sun rise and fall... The mysterious Indian subcontinent and the Arabian Peninsula, the spectacular pyramids and sphinx... As well as the Acropolis of Athens, the scenery of ancient Rome, and finally you can see industrialized Europe full of steampunk style..." Xiao Letian is now a human trafficker who abducted children, and the little emperor has long been fascinated by the bewitching.
"Is this all true? But isn't the outside world very scary? It's full of criminals and rebels. Should a gentleman stand under a dangerous wall?" There was a last hint of hesitation in Emperor Tongzhi's eyes.
"No, Your Majesty is the emperor of the great China. You are definitely the best in the ranking of emperors in this world. You will receive courtesy from all countries. The navies of European countries will do their best to protect you. The governors of all colonies will salute you. You will receive countless glory..."
"London will fire a salute for you, Paris will hold a grand ball for you, and the whole city of Berlin will hold a celebration of more than one million people for you, because you are the emperor of China and have five thousand years of civilization history as endorsed, and your reputation will spread throughout the world..."
Xiao Letian was not bragging. No matter how declining the late Qing Dynasty declined, it was the orthodox Chinese recognized by the international community at that time. Western powers signed countless agreements with the Qing Dynasty. Although they gained a lot of benefits, they also recognized the legitimacy of the Qing Dynasty rule.
Besides, although the Qing Dynasty has suffered two defeats, there are still three thousand nails in the rotten ship. China's reputation has not completely fallen in the hearts of European people. Now if the young emperor travels to Europe, he can really get the greatest gift.
Not to mention the emperor, Xiao Letian visited Europe in his previous life and received warm reception from a crowded street. You should know that the Sino-Japanese War between the Sino-Japanese War of 1894 and 1894 was over, and he was completely shameless internationally early in the morning, but Europe still respected him very much.
The reason is very simple, because there is an extremely huge country behind Li Hongzhang. Although the Qing Dynasty was weak at that time and was the object of ridicule for everyone, the huge land area, population, endless resources and market still made the world dare not underestimate it.
No matter when, Chinese people must remember that there must be an extremely powerful country behind you, which is the only backer you can rely on, the place where the souls of our ancestors live, and the hometown where our blood flows.
Xiao Letian and Emperor Tongzhi looked at each other, and of course their eyes could not speak. In fact, these words had been communicated long ago under Ermao's needle threading. The emperor's questions and Xiao Letian's promise had been carried out secretly.
However, this eye confrontation in the Palace of Supreme Harmony painted the promise with a sacred color.
Just as the Qingliu people angrily scolded Xiao Letian, the little emperor suddenly stood up from the throne. Cixi next to him was so scared that her face turned pale, "Sit down... Your Majesty, what are you going to do, what are you going to do, your son..."
The terrified screams alarmed the Qingliu ministers, and everyone couldn't help but exclaim, "Your Majesty..."
At this time, Xiao Letian smiled slightly, raised his hand to pull Qingliu, which was blocking the road, and strode forward to the Sumeru throne, stretching out his hand to His Majesty from afar.
"Xiao Aiqing... Can I believe you?"
"Your Majesty, my promise is my life. You may not believe my words, but please believe the oath I made with my life." This book was first published from 17K Novel Network, and you can read the genuine content as soon as possible!
