Xiao Letian really did not regard Zai Chun as the emperor of the Qing Dynasty. The prime minister never hid his administration from him. When he secretly met with Zeng Guofan, he had to take Zai Chun with him because Zai Chun also needed the support of the Hunan army.
The treatment of the veterans of the Kingdom of Heaven was not hidden from the Qing Emperor, because Xiao Letian needed Zai Chun to feel reassured and let him know that his life-and-death enemy had gone to another continent to develop his power.
As for an uprising on the east bank of the Wusuli River, Xiao Letian did not hide it from Zai Chun. In the land abandoned by the Qing Dynasty, there were always unyielding people who did not bow their heads and accept their fate. The young emperor must understand this truth.
Nothing will be hidden from Zai Chun, but it does not mean that all the details must be told to him. Zai Chun received the education of an emperor, so he must understand these things, but after all, he is just a child. For those darkness in the process of achieving his goals, Let’s get familiar with it in a few years.
Xiao Letian was really a selfless teacher to Zai Chun, because if he wanted to disintegrate the Manchu aristocratic group from within, he must have an enlightened monarch.
But children are children after all, and they are often very emotional. When Xiao Letian's military force began to approach Baishan Heishui Manren's hometown, some rebellious elements in his blood began to agitate.
"Master has kept nothing from me. I know Ryukyu will mobilize elites to support the revolting people. I also know that Lord Long has become the commander-in-chief of that army... I believe you will be able to win. I know the master's methods."
"But I just want to know what the master wants to do with that land after he conquers it in the future. Mr. Long, you are loyal to Ryukyu now, but don't forget that you were a subject of the Qing Dynasty for more than 40 years in the first half of your life... For the sake of even a little bit of friendship with the court, please tell me.”
It is easy for people to succumb to habits, especially habits developed over forty years, which are even more difficult to change. Mr. Long was born in the Qing Dynasty, grew up in the Qing Dynasty, studied in the Qing Dynasty, and his family is still in the Qing Dynasty... The idea of loyalty to the emperor that has been instilled since childhood cannot be erased so easily.
"Your Majesty." Mr. Long has never been so nervous in his life. He struggled for three minutes and finally stamped his feet and sighed, "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister of the land will not want it, but... don't worry about it."
This had already broken the window paper, and Zai Chun understood that the master wanted that land to become independent. From now on, he would probably have nothing to do with the Manchus.
"I know that we are all incompetent and failed to defend the land of Longxing... We don't blame anyone, and we really don't blame the master. Thank you, Mr. Long, for telling me the truth..."
"Your Majesty, if you ask the Prime Minister directly, the Prime Minister will also tell you these words. The Prime Minister has nothing to hide from you. I served the Prime Minister before he took office. I heard the Prime Minister say more than once that he There is no distinction between Manchu and Chinese in his heart, the Prime Minister really wants everyone to be well."
When people are confused, the first thing they will think of is asking their parents and relatives for help. The second thing they will choose is to find friends, especially friends, for help. Now Zai Chun has set his sights on Er Mao.
Ermao shook his head, "Your Majesty, if you are worried about losing a penny that you can't find, it is better to look forward and work hard to make ten more pence, what do you think?"
"That's all..." Zai Chun stamped his feet, took out a roll of bright yellow satin from his sleeve and handed it to Lord Long, "This is a secret decree I gave you. General Ningguta Hunchun and Heilongjiang General Tepu Qin are all simple Manchus outside the Pass, and they don’t have many of the bad habits of the Eight Banners disciples in the Fourth and Nine Cities..."
"Take it, if the situation becomes urgent, with my secret order, you can hide in the land of the Qing Dynasty. No matter how big the appetite of the Russians is, they will not dare to invade in full force... I can only help you so much ”
Zai Chun threw the secret decree into Master Long's hands, turned around with tears on his sleeves and walked out, followed closely by Er Mao.
Master Long was dumbfounded. She didn't expect that the emperor of the Qing Dynasty would actually give him the right to freely enter and exit the land of Longxing. At that moment, Master Long's heart felt warm.
"Your Majesty is atoneing for the mistakes of the Manchu people..." It was Sister Wu who walked in from the shadows, holding a pile of material allocation forms that required Master Long's signature.
"Your Majesty knows that he is very weak. He cannot stop your actions, let alone mobilize his own strength to get involved... The guards in the military camp will follow your Majesty in the counterattack on Beijing City in the future, and they cannot die among the white mountains and black waters."
"Since we can't stop it and can't mix it up, let's just sell it as a favor. When those abandoned people of the Celestial Dynasty see this imperial edict, their resentment towards the Manchu Qing Dynasty will probably be reduced by a third. With this friendship at the bottom, His Majesty will be able to govern more personally in the future. A bit of room for maneuver..."
Master Long took action in anger, locked Sister Wu's throat with his tiger claws, and growled ferociously, "Shut up... you are just a poisonous snake. I don't allow you to speak to Your Majesty. Stop showing off your dirty thoughts in front of me."
"Ahem, cough..." Sister Wu blushed as red as a prawn, bent over and coughed violently, but when she turned around, she started to laugh, "Hahaha, I've told you what's on your mind. Your anger can only prove that you have something hidden in your heart." The same ghost..."
"It's no wonder that the Qing Dynasty ruled you for the first half of your life, and the idea of loyalty to the emperor is not so easy to throw away... Even if you change your allegiance now, even if the braid behind you has been cut off, the braid in your heart is still there."
"Hahaha... The pigtails in your hearts are still there. No wonder the Prime Minister wants to be a hidden dragon instead of a real dragon. The pigtails in your hearts are still there... Hahahaha."
The Kirigakure kid threw the official documents waiting for signature on the table, laughed wildly and turned back to sleep. She felt that people like Mr. Long were really boring and their lives were not pure at all.
Everything that happened late at night could not be hidden from Xiao Letian. After hearing Wang Huaiyuan's report, he put down the milk he wanted to drink before going to bed, shook his head and sighed.
"Aren't you obsessive? If we can't even trust Mr. Long, who has been through life and death, who can we trust? Our career has only started for a few years, and the talents we have cultivated have not yet matured. Now the mainstay of the career is... It was inspired from the Kingdom of Heaven and the Qing Dynasty..."
"People are all emotional creatures. Mr. Long has lived in the Qing Dynasty for forty years. Where are his childhood, boyhood, youth, and adult experiences? How can he lose that little bit of love? If Mr. Long really breaks away from the past, , but I dare not use him. How can someone who was so ruthless to himself in the first half of his life be so ruthless to others?"
"You are the same. You are joking that Mr. Long has pigtails in his heart. Don't you have that piece of scarf with the word "Taiping" written on it in your heart? It is your life memory, how can you easily cut it off..."
Xiao Letian leaned on the back of his chair, looked at the stars in the sky and suddenly laughed, "Haha, I'm quite curious about how Master Long and Sister Wu work together. The contrast in their personalities is huge, and their values are completely different... …”
"Hahaha... don't create any more sparks then."
Wang Huaiyuan was stunned, "Spark, what spark? Does the Prime Minister think that there is a possibility of a quarrel between the two of them? Then I have to keep an eye on it in advance..."
Xiao Letian rolled his eyes at him, "He has a wooden head."
