The night was as dark as ink, and there was only the faint outline of the waves in front of me. The only sound in my ears was the sound of the Zhiyuan's turbine, which was monotonous and dull.
Cai Bixia was already shocked. He was horrified by Xiang Ying's almost prophecy-like inference. She wanted to refute. She was unwilling to admit that such a cute child like Zai Chun would be a cruel and lustful king in the future. But she couldn't find any rebuttal argument.
"A cruel character is a big taboo for kings. First of all, people with this kind of character must be very impatient and cannot tolerate others' doubts. When faced with objections, they don't use clever means to solve them like the master. Instead, he subconsciously pulled out his gun!"
"Using violence and destruction to resolve disputes is the lowest method, but it is the simplest method. Too many tyrants in history have chosen this simple and direct method to eliminate dissidents, because their abilities are only that It’s one o’clock”
"It's a pity that governing a big country is like cooking small dishes. How can you have smooth sailing in the process of governance? Not to mention the ministers who give you normal advice, you will even encounter countless ambitious political opponents! What should you do at this time? ? I’m afraid judging from Zaichun’s disregard for human life and his ability to draw a gun anytime, anywhere, his treatment of political opponents will definitely be extremely cruel.”
"No way, right?" Cai Bixia still had a trace of hope for Zai Chunshan in her heart.
Xiang Ying smiled and said, "There's nothing to argue about. This kind of thing is just a speculation I made about his character. Who knows what will happen in the future? Let's see."
"But can you deny your lustful nature? Don't think that the king's lust is not a big sin. In fact, the king's lust is an incurable disease, a terminal disease that even gods and gods can't cure!"
"Don't think I'm exaggerating. Think about it carefully. How old is Zai Chun this year? He's only 13 years old. He will get married in three years. I remember my master once said that a man's energy begins to solidify when he is eighteen. , before that, having sex was an act of self-mutilation that emptied the bone marrow!”
"The body is the capital of all careers. If a man is addicted to these things at a young age, his body is exhausted and his energy is exhausted, do you still expect him to achieve anything? Haha, if you want to be a saint, you have to Are you living a healthy life? If you can't guarantee your life, how can your governance be consistent?"
Having said this, Xiang Ying flicked the bright cigarette butt into the sea with a flick of his finger. "So I dare to say that Zai Chun will not have a good result! All the master's hard work is in vain."
Xiang Ying's remarks cannot be defended, and Cai Bixia does not know
4000
No matter how you argue, the two of them just stood quietly at the stern of the boat, looking at the dark sea water without saying a word for a long time.
The voyage at sea is lonely and boring. Fortunately, there are still countless tasks to be completed. People have not yet felt the long time. Zai Chun does not know that his master and his senior brother once had a quarrel because of him. At this moment, his heart is full of excited.
Xiao Letian went to see the British Minister, and this top-secret operation was not hidden from him. This made the little emperor sigh from the bottom of his heart. He thought this was the master really starting to accept him, and he also felt that this was what the master was doing. give some hint.
Maybe in the future, the Chinese people will take root overseas, and this prosperous continent will always be the land of the Qing Dynasty, which will never change for thousands of years. Yes, it must be like this. Haven't you seen even Captain Xiang Xiang in the past few days? Did Yingdu smile more at me? The master must have revealed something to him, it must be like this.
There was no words all the way. Four days later, the Zhiyuan began to approach Jiaozhou Bay. The destination of this secret meeting was approaching Chaolian Island, and the atmosphere on the Zhiyuan gradually became solemn.
The closer he got to his destination, the more solemn Xiao Letian's expression became. People could no longer see the Prime Minister's smile. One can imagine the importance of this secret meeting.
The Zhiyuan was anchored seven or eight nautical miles southwest of Chaolian Island. The Marines put down ten small boats, carrying the Prime Minister, Zai Chun, Wang Huaiyuan, Monk Long Shi and many soldiers, and rowed away to Chaolian Island. .
At the same time, in the northeast of the island, the Thames, which was temporarily docked in Jiaozhou Bay, also allowed many tourists to disembark and enjoy the scenery of Mount Laoshan while waiting for the results of boiler maintenance.
The British ambassador Sir Alley, escorted by a group of embassy soldiers and military attachés, boarded a hardwood sailing cargo ship unique to the Qing Dynasty's coast and rushed to the island through thorny waves.
At ten o'clock in the morning, Ai Liguo finally saw the isolated island in the sea. At this moment, Chinese Marines were already waiting on the shoal on the island suitable for landing.
"Salute!" Marine commanders Lin Zhen and Qiu Wei roared. Thirty Marines lined up saluted to greet Ai Liguo. The eyes of this China expert who was familiar with the East suddenly lit up. Such a tough soldier appeared in front of him. Only Xiao Letian can train him in East Asia. As expected, he defeated the Asian magical army of the powerful European countries. This temperament is already very rare.
"The Prime Minister is waiting at the top of the mountain. A banquet has been prepared. Please come with me." Lin Zhen led the way, and the soldiers escorted the British minister and began to climb the low hill.
Ai Liguo looked at the silhouette of the ship on the sea to the southwest: "Is that the Zhiyuan? Why is it docked so far away? Don't you want me to open my eyes?"
"The minister is joking. The Zhiyuan is parked far away because it is afraid of the reefs near the island. It is not that it is afraid of being exposed. It is no secret that the Zhiyuan has been in Europe for a long time." Lin Zhen smiled faintly. "If I remember correctly, there are many people around you." This military attache once witnessed the birth of the Chinese Order in Ryukyu. He seemed to have taken a lot of photos of the Zhiyuan at that time! Hasn’t the Minister seen it? "
This is a beautiful statement, soft yet firm, just to warn you to stop talking nonsense with us. Our Chinese intelligence agencies have long known what the British have done.
The British people present looked at each other with slightly embarrassed expressions, but good diplomats can control conversations very well. Ai Liguo smiled faintly, "No matter how clear the photos are, they can't compare to boarding the ship and taking a look in person! Not even that. Do you know if you have this honor today?"
"Haha, Sir Minister, please believe that we Chinese are a hospitable nation. We are always generous to our friends. The Prime Minister is right in front!"
Chaolian Island is rocky and has few trees and soil. On the boulder on the top of the mountain, a simple folding table has been unfolded. A young Chinese leader is standing beside the table with a smile, waiting for the distinguished guests.
This was not the first time that Ai Liguo met Xiao Letian. He had met Xiao Letian three times in the capital, and every time he could feel a deep sense of frustration in Xiao Letian.
The reason is very simple. Xiao Letian is too young. He has accomplished such a big career but is only in his thirties. Being young is an advantage. He has plenty of time and energy to spend on those elderly politicians. This is really too much. Makes people jealous.
"Hello, dear Prime Minister, I really didn't expect to see you in this place. I wonder what kind of surprise you will bring me today?"
"Hello, distinguished minister, the news I bring may not be a surprise! It may also be a panic."
