"What should we do? We can't just stare at such an acute issue and pretend not to see it, and then let it go. Whether it works or not, there must be a result no matter what we do today."
Ci'an asked, and there was dead silence in the hall.
"Speak, it's already past noon. Do you want to hold the court meeting until dark?"
Then he asked, and a dead silence followed.
"Okay, okay, I haven't learned a single thing, but I have learned everything about Mingzhe Baoshen... Today the Ai family will force you all to speak to me."
The Queen Mother was angry, and the ministers could not pretend to be dumb this time. They all said in unison, "Your Majesty, forgive me." This was a forced sentence.
The atmosphere in the hall was so cold that it could freeze. No one dared to come forward and everyone was watching the situation. There were only two exceptions, one was Xiao Letian and the other was the young emperor Tongzhi.
The two of them stood there, one on the Sumeru Seat and the other in the Golden Palace. Xiao Letian looked at him with encouraging eyes, but there was a hint of cowardice and a hint of unwillingness in the little emperor's eyes.
When the hall was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, Xiao Letian finally said, "Your Majesty, I do have a solution to this dilemma..."
"My dear, please speak."
"The key point is you. The queen mothers of the two palaces have moved to the left. The ministers have stopped talking now. What matters at this moment is your vote. Please tell the ministers your choice..."
"Me." Tongzhi said hesitantly, "I haven't taken charge yet. Will my words count?"
"Hahaha..." Xiao Letian laughed arrogantly, "Pro-government, what's the use of that useless ceremony? If Your Majesty doesn't dislike it, I will give you your first lesson. I will let you know what pro-government is... …”
"As a pro-government, you don't just have to hold a ceremony when you reach your age. You will be the master of the Qing Dynasty. If you think that such a ceremony can make all the ministers return to their hearts and make all the people respect you, then that is naive."
The little emperor's face turned pale as Xiao Letian spoke eloquently, "The Holy Ancestor Kangxi ascended the throne at the age of eight, took charge at the age of sixteen, and captured Ao at the age of eighteen. Is it just such a so-called pro-government ceremony? If the ceremony If it works, why did Obai still not listen to him after taking office, and why did San Francisco rebel in the end."
"Your Majesty is ten years old this year. Although you are not old enough to take charge of the government, you should not forget your identity. You are the lord of the Qing Dynasty, and your righteousness and honor will always be in your hands... I would like to say something heartbreaking. , if all the ministers in the court are really your loyal ministers, they will obey your will no matter whether you are ten or twenty years old."
"Haha, if he is a rebellious minister, he will be disobedient regardless of whether you are in charge or not. Rights are never maintained by rituals and etiquette. Rights have their own rules for operation."
Emperor Tongzhi was shocked, and the civil and military officials of the court were also shocked. Xiao Letian actually threw them all out, leaving them naked in the sun.
The little emperor murmured to himself, "Right has its own laws of operation. What exactly is this law?"
"Your Majesty, this is the law that I will teach you in the future. I am not afraid of the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty stealing their skills. I can tell your Majesty now openly and openly that what determines the operation of power is power. Who can get the most power? Who can control the power..."
Speaking of this, Xiao Letian roared with a ferocious look on his face, "The new army obeys the order... Show the Great Council what power is."
Countless new troops outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony collectively responded to the order, "Yes." This was followed by row after row of gunshots. Each row of gunshots shook the corners of the eyes of all the courtiers and twitched involuntarily.
"Xiao Lezhen is really a donkey. How come he shoots when he doesn't like it? This is too violent."
Xiao Letian completely ignored all the courtiers' accusations. He only had eyes for the little emperor. "Your Majesty, the army, foreign guns, and cannons are just one of the many forces... I kindly ask your Majesty to come out of the hall. I have more." The power is shown to you.”
After saying that, Xiao Letian walked out of the palace. Emperor Tongzhi hesitated for a moment and then chased him out. The ministers were scolding Xiao Letian for being so messy. After messing with the telegraph line, he had to mess with something else.
When Xiao Letian walked outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Luo Huo, who had been waiting for a long time, stepped forward and saluted and said, "Report to the Prime Minister... The Longevity Mountain Camp was ready half an hour ago, and the 'secret weapon' was activated a quarter of an hour ago... …Drive quickly, look to the west, we’re already here…”
At this time, the jade steps in front of the palace were already full of ministers and eunuchs. When people heard that there was something in the west, they all stretched their necks to look.
"Oh, there are two black spots in the sky in the west... What are they? Come here with your clairvoyance..."
Today is a northwest wind, not strong but very persistent. Before the telescope was brought over, the black spot had already become very big.
"Your Majesty... I once said in the Journey to the West that people can fly in the sky. Today I will let you see if I have lied... Those who attack Western learning, please keep your eyes open. Take a good look with your eyes and see how I slap your mouth..."
With a bang, the officials were completely shocked. Even Zeng Guofan and the others were stunned this time. No one expected that Xiao Letian's killer weapon was here.
Hot air balloon, in 1866, hot air balloon technology was already very reliable. In the American Civil War and the Austro-Prussian War, there were precedents for hot air balloons to observe battlefields.
Xiao Letian has a lot of money, and he has a very good relationship with Prussia. Not to mention buying them, there is no problem in asking them for two. The two flying in today are hot air balloons produced by the Prussian military.
Pang Chaoyun and Ye Qiu, who had the best eyesight and the best psychological quality, as well as their followers Chongtian Erdan and Ma Hui, were flying to Beijing in a hot air balloon in pairs.
The coal stove and blower, Tian Erdan and Ma Hui kept shaking the blower, and the selected coal burned to emit a large amount of heat that was added to the huge sphere, fixing the hot air balloon at an altitude of more than 70 meters.
Tian Erdan and Ma Hui were so scared that they almost peed their pants. They yelled in a crying voice, "We have ascended to heaven... We are ascending to heaven. We are so tall, we will fall to death if we fall."
Ye Qiu and Pang Chaoyun kicked them in the butt, "What are you afraid of? From the moment we followed the Prime Minister, our lives are not our own. This life belongs to the Prime Minister. Death in battle is death, falling to death is death..." There's a bullshit difference, hurry up and add charcoal..."
"Ah, look, I can actually see all of Beijing at a glance... It's worth my life, long live the Prime Minister." Among the people in the late Qing Dynasty, who would have thought that one day they would be able to fly in the sky? Just for this flying adventure, I would give my life to the Prime Minister.
The Forbidden City, Beihai, White Tower, Temple of Heaven, Temple of the Moon... and even Longxugou, the entire capital fell on the ground like a chessboard, and the soldiers in the sky were already crying with tears in their faces.
"Father...Mother...do you know that my son flew in the sky, and his ancestors were honored..."
The entire Sijiu City was in a complete sensation. The streets and alleys were full of people. They looked at the hot air balloons in the sky stupidly, and one by one their knees went weak and they knelt on the ground.
"A miracle... This is a miracle, God has appeared..." All the streets were crowded with people kowtowing, and some even set up incense burners.
At this time, a huge banner more than ten meters long was suddenly dropped from the hot air balloon. On it were two lines of large characters: "Foreign Minister Donghai, Prime Minister Xiao, I wish His Majesty the Emperor long live, long live." Only then did people realize that this was actually Xiao Letian. The fetish created.
The officials in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony were also going crazy at this moment. Some superstitious old officials even knelt on the ground and kowtowed desperately, "A miracle... This is a miracle. Xiao Letian can actually fly into the sky and escape from the earth... He is not a human being."
The little emperor was also stunned, "Then...is the person up there really a human being, or a god?"
"They're not gods. There are four of my ordinary soldiers up there. After a month of intensive training, they learned the ability to fly... This is also the kind of power I mentioned."
"Your Majesty, do you really not want this power? This is the power that can control power."
Note: Today, Xinjing has something to talk about with fellow readers of Wireless Reading. There are more than 2 million words in it. There are some words hidden in Xinjing’s heart, and I won’t be happy if I don’t express them.
What is wireless reading? In fact, it refers to all friends who use mobile phones to read books. Regardless of whether you are reading genuine or pirated books, as long as you use your mobile phone to read books, you are considered a wireless customer.
Wireless reading is really great. There are various apps, various wap, and lastly, pirated versions provided by browsers for free. As long as you move your fingers, you can enjoy the joy of reading no matter where you are.
But probably no one has ever thought that wireless reading is really a big pitfall for the author, it’s so big.
This paragraph of "Xin Jing" is hidden in the text after two million words. I believe that friends who can read this paragraph are already die-hard fans of the Qing Dynasty Hidden Dragon. If it doesn't look good, you can't chase more than two million words. .
Since they are all die-hards, there is no need for Xinjing to say a few words from his heart. Wireless reading is actually ruining Xinjing’s writing career to a certain extent. The reason is very simple, "Wireless has no godliness".
Dear friends, various reading interfaces now have automatic memory functions. When you open it, you will naturally see the paragraph you have not finished reading before. You can follow the daily updates at any time. I am afraid no one will be willing to open the homepage of the book. Go find out who the author of this book is.
As time goes by, I guess everyone doesn’t even know who the author is. I just know that there is a book called The Hidden Dragon of the Qing Dynasty, which is very interesting, but God knows who wrote it.
Follow the book but not the author. This is one of the biggest disadvantages of wireless reading. Who knows the pen name of the author, who knows whether he is fat or thin, rich or poor, whether he is mentally retarded or an idiot, whether he is healthy or not. Hemiplegia.
Who cares? Who has cared about it? To put it more tragically, even if the author suddenly died in front of the keyboard, the book lovers would not care at all, and they would even curse "this dead eunuch". This is not a joke, the Internet literature industry There are really quite a few people who have died suddenly from mental and physical exhaustion.
Readers who read on mobile phones, please ask yourself, if you don’t read this paragraph, do you know who the author of this book is? Even if you know the pen name, have you ever supported him?
No one cares, no one cares how much hard work the guy put in writing the book, and no one knows whether the fool who wrote the code can persist.
Everyone knows who the protagonist is in the book, who his wife is, and who the protagonist’s younger brother and the enemies who were trampled to death are, but they only don’t know who the author is who wrote these stories, and they don’t know the story. Is this book on the verge of being a eunuch?
To be honest, the book Hidden Dragon of the Qing Dynasty did not do well. If Xinjing had not been for those die-hard fans who have always supported it, I would have become a eunuch long ago.
Everyone knows whether a book is good or not. I think readers who can follow this word count will like it. Since the book is still worth reading, why is the performance so low that the author can't persevere.
Some people may sneer at what Xinjing said, some may think silently, and of course there are many more people who completely ignore it. They will just continue to scroll to see when it will be updated. No one cares about how miserable the author is.
Those who ignore it should continue to ignore it, and those who sneer can abuse it at will. Xinjing only hopes that those who silently meditate, those book friends whose hearts are touched, will support Xinjing and the genuine version.
Authors really need achievements. Whether they can write many books quickly and well depends on the power of fans. If you love this book and if you have pure love, then please go to the official website to support it. one time.
The genuine website of the book "Xin Jing" is posted at. If you want to look for it, you will definitely find it.
Also announce the book club group: 116253076 Xin Jing is in it. Xin Jing also has better books to recommend to you. Come on, join the group and follow Xin Jing as many times as you like. I won’t be bothered.
I hope my words will not bring you abuse, but a miracle.
