630 Study Tour
Torrents emerged from the streets and alleys of the capital, and the new army scattered in the capital began to prepare for their departure. With the neat slogans and the complex gazes of countless people, troops walked onto the streets and formed a larger torrent, wanting to set out outside Guangqumen.
At that moment, the air in the capital suddenly stagnated. Everyone knew that this day had arrived. People were very complicated in their hearts and were a little cruel to the new army. After all, the Eight Banners soldiers who had no thumbs up all over the streets were all evil caused by the new army.
Moreover, the people in this era have not completely abandoned the Qing Dynasty. They think that the new army is a foreign army, and the capture of Sijiu City has made everyone lose face.
However, the changes brought by the new army were real. When the rice prices returned to the prosperous times of Kanggan, Longxugou became a tourist area, and all the alleys and streets were completely renewed. The people had never seen such a clean Beijing city.
What's more, Xiao Letian kidnapped their Holy Lord, which made everyone feel uncomfortable and always felt strange.
In the end, it was the first one of those women with long hair and short knowledge and children who ate shit. The first one of those women with red sleeves and children who had eaten New Army candies rushed forward.
"You are really leaving, are you back? Will the Prime Minister ignore us in the future?"
"Uncle Bing, will you still give us candy and tell us stories..."
There was no answer to all the questions. All they responded to was silence. Soon the children cried, and the young aunties with red sleeves wiped their tears. The iron army, which had never been seen since ancient times, a new army that never disturbed the strict discipline of the people, was really leaving today.
Once the gate of emotions is opened, it will be contagious. The grief of women and children also affects men. Think about the good months of life the Prime Minister brings to everyone, and they also know how to be grateful.
There were more and more people in Sijiu City who were bidding farewell to the new army, crying and whispering greetings. Everyone was in a depressed mood. They saw the figure of the Shuntian Prefecture yamen runners in the crowd and the hatred gaze of the nine-sect admiral soldiers. The people did not dare to express their emotions too much. They knew that if they said the wrong thing today, what they would wait for them might be revenge after the New Year.
The court did not do a beautiful thing in the entire five years of Tongzhi, especially the Qing court was even more embarrassed. They could not afford to offend Xiao Letian, but they could vent their anger on the people, especially this group of people who allowed Xiao Letian to fatten up.
The rice shop along the street finally opened again. The boss with hatred eyes was holding a wooden board with a rice price of 100 cents in his hand, and was about to be listed when the Xinjun got out.
"This group of untouchables have been 100 meters for several months and have been well-raised. I will reduce weight for you."
There are also those casual wear officials hiding in the crowd who have long thought that they should add more new military taxes. The little bit of oil that Xiao Letian has to be returned to the court in less than half a year.
Just as the foreigners were pointing at nine o'clock in the morning, the Qing Gate on the south side of Tiananmen Square suddenly opened the middle gate. Emperor Tongzhi and Xiao Letian, surrounded by a group of new troops, finally walked onto the streets of Beijing and appeared in front of the people.
All the people in Sijiu City were sensational. They knelt down on the mountains on both sides of the street and shouted long live. Many people were even excited and burst into tears.
"Long live the emperor, long live, long live, long live."
"Your Majesty is safe all the way, and your study tour is smooth."
The late Qing Dynasty was the end of the Manchu rule. The more this time the ruler's heart became more closed. The people of Sijiu City had not seen the emperor for a long time. On the contrary, during the Kanggan era, the emperor often appeared among the people.
Sometimes decline begins with a closed mentality. When the rulers of the empire were raised by women in the deep palace and never left the capital in their entire lives, such emperors only brought endless decline to the empire.
During this period, Emperor Tongzhi's temperament was completely renewed. When he lived in Jingshan, he could openly play with muskets. The most elite sharpshooter in the new army was the instructor of the emperor. The little emperors of all kinds of rifles all over the world played enough.
There are also Westerners like Matthew and Leo, who brought piles of exotic photos. Whenever Xiao Letian had time, he would take the little emperor to skate on the North Sea and hold a barbecue party. While eating, he listened to Xiao Letian bragging about the beautiful scenery of the overseas horizon.
Any photo he grabbed and showed it, he could tell the little emperor for a long time, and he laughed and didn't look like he was an imperial master at all.
Xiao Letian is very clear about the children's psychology. If you set so many rules for a ten-year-old child every day, what should he wait for if he doesn't rebelliously? Only by following his emotions and setting rules for major issues can he achieve twice the result with half the effort. It's not trivial.
In just over a dozen days, Emperor Tongzhi had already admired Xiao Letian and became the first emperor's teacher by the little emperor.
"Your Majesty, you can wave to the people. Remember the method I teach you, don't be afraid. You are the emperor and everything you do is natural..." Xiao Letian reminded in a low voice.
The little emperor blushed, nodded and raised his hand to stop the guard of honor. He turned over and dismounted and walked to a kneeling old man on the side of the road.
"Old man, you are old, don't kneel down and it's cold on the ground... Please get up, please get up." After saying that, the young emperor went to support the old man.
The old man kneeling on the ground was just an ordinary Eight Banners idle man. He had never done anything promising in his life. When he saw the emperor actually supported him, his knees were weak when he burst into tears.
"Your Majesty has ruined the old slave... I am the emperor's slave. I should kneel down, I should kneel down."
"I will get up as soon as I ask you to get up. It depends on your age. I am still young. It is necessary to respect the elderly. People..." The little emperor waved his hand, and Ermao held a large tray in his hand and was full of Yingyang.
"It's the Chinese New Year, I'm going to study. I can't protect you anymore. I'll reward you with a few silver coins. I'm respecting the elderly, come and take it..." After saying that, I stuffed five eagle oceans into the old man's hand.
The old man was already moved and cried loudly. Isn’t this the saint in the play? I, this old man, will not kneel down and not say anything and will give me the money.
Emperor Tongzhi walked slowly along the crowd of people kneeling and worshipping. He personally helped and comforted all the older men, and gave him five silver coins.
The little kids of the stalkers also received rewards. The little emperor touched their heads and said a few auspicious words, and then gave a silver coin as New Year's money.
"Grow up well and be healthy, and you will definitely be a good seedling for studying in the future... I will give you one, and I will give you one."
"Elders, I am going to study far away. Please don't forget the people... Don't forget me, love Xinjueluo Zaichun, don't forget me, Emperor Tongzhi."
The Qingliu Confucian ministers who followed Emperor Tongzhi knelt on the ground and cried bitterly, and even they were moved by the little emperor.
This is a show, a show that Xiao Letian rehearsed in advance. In ancient Chinese people, they had seen such show that was deeply involved in folk acting. Everyone was moved and shed tears of pain.
Leo and Matthew recorded everything in the crowd. I believe that it will not take long for the emperor to be close to the people to spread throughout the Qing Dynasty, and Emperor Tongzhi's prestige will be greatly improved.
This is Xiao Letian's plan for the future. He knew that the emperor would naturally have many ambitions to jump out after leaving the center of power. If he didn't talk about others, just Prince Gong Yi would be able to guarantee his loyalty.
The only one who can help the little emperor now is his reputation among the people. As long as the reputation of the Holy Lord is high, the power of the people will be the greatest help of the little emperor.
Don’t say that a kind word is useless, a kind word is warm in three winters, and a bad word hurts people in six months. The power of word-of-mouth is extremely huge, especially in feudal dynasties, the emperor has long been mythical. The emperor can love the people so much, and it can be imagined that all the people who have witnessed today will become the emperor’s loyalty.
Walking along the way, comforting the people all the way, the 49 cities of the Qing Dynasty were far less than that of later generations. When the 80,000 silver coins were distributed, Guangqumen was already in front of him.
Now all the people know that the little emperor is a saint who respects the elderly and loves the young. In the simple values of the people, an emperor who respects the elderly and loves the young is either a saint or a benevolent king, and he is a wise king who is hard to find throughout the ages.
There were crying everywhere on the long street. The little emperor's personal charm infected everyone. There was only one roar in the city now, "Long live the road, safe... safe all the way."
There were people crying everywhere, and there were long live roars everywhere, and people on the long streets were kowtowing crazy.
Xiao Letian was also moved. He rubbed the tears at the corners of his eyes and thought to himself, "Damn, I, an iron man who was infected by film and television and news shows in his previous life, was moved today. Alas... The people of this era are so simple, and it really makes me feel guilty to deceive honest people."
That’s right, people in this era have never seen news or film and television works, and they have never even experienced the guidance of public opinion in newspapers. People are simple and kind and a little bit pedantic. As long as you act a little, they will be easily moved.
Just as Xiao Letian was thinking about it, a group of Confucian scholars with white scarves on their heads suddenly rushed out of the crowd. The head was Weng Tonghe who was recuperating at home.
The old man was also conquered by the show of the little emperor. His snot bubbles burst out from the crying, and he yelled at Xiao Letian in front of the guard of honor.
"Wuwuwu...Xiao Letian, Your Majesty is the saint of the ages. If you let Your Majesty suffer a little harm, I will eat your meat and drink your blood..."
Weng Tonghe's face was deformed. He knelt in front of Emperor Tongzhi, and his forehead hit the ground with a violent blow. "Your Majesty... You must take good care of yourself. I am so cruel to myself. I am so cruel to me. Why can't I protect the emperor?"
Speaking of this, Weng Tonghe suddenly rushed to Xiao Letian with a group of clear streams of Hanlin, which scared Master Long so much that he almost stood in front of the Prime Minister. However, this time the old man was not here to fight. They actually pushed the golden mountain and turned the jade pillar in front of everyone and knelt down to Xiao Letian.
"Prime Minister Xiao of the East China Sea, we are not your opponent. We kneel for the emperor... We have been studying on thousands of miles away, countless winds, frost, rain and snow. Please take care of the people of the Qing Dynasty and the court... Please take good care of Your Majesty, he is still young..."
Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo w
The ministers in the court who were preparing to see the emperor off in front of Guangqu Gate, Zeng Guofan, Zuo Zongtang, Li Hongzhang... and Prince Gong, Prince Chun and others could not suppress their emotions and all knelt on the ground.
"Xiao Letian... Your Majesty will entrust you... Please treat Your Majesty well."
In the fifth year of Tongzhi, in the Little New Year in 1866, Aisin Jueluo Zaichun followed Xiao Letian out of the capital from Guangqumen and embarked on a long journey of study.
Note: A major stage has finally ended, and the story that follows will be more exciting. Will the assassination of Ryuma Sakamoto succeed in history? The Meiji Restoration in Japan is about to begin, how will Xiao Lotte deal with it, how will a brand new fleet be formed, and what major events will students studying in Prussia and the United States encounter.
And what kind of bizarre experience will Emperor Tongzhi encounter when he was studying abroad? Everything is in the subsequent plot.
