"Godfather, I am willing to live in Ryukyu. During the time I am with His Majesty in Ryukyu, even though I live in seclusion, I am happy in my heart!"
"The small building my godfather gave me is my paradise. I can live a simple life, grow flowers and birds, and learn about antiques. No one will harm me, and I don't have to be wary of others..."
"These are fairy-like days! Fishing on the white sand beach, diving on Kunigami Beach, flowers that never fade in all seasons, and endless fruits..."
"What's more important is that everyone here is friendly and respectful. There are no local bullies who bully the market, and there are no officials and minions who break bones and suck marrow. There are rules wherever you go... How wonderful is this!"
Er Mao was filled with joy when he thought of the days when he lived in seclusion in Naha City. Xiao Le
Xiao Letian, who closed the door tightly, closed his eyes and rested, rubbing his temples. After a long time, he sighed and said, "Did you hear it?" There was no one in front of Xiao Letian, and he seemed to be talking to the air.
But as soon as he finished speaking, the mahogany wardrobe next to the bed quietly opened, and a pale-faced Zai Chun walked out of it.
He never expected that Zai Chun had been hiding in the closet and eavesdropping, eavesdropping on the truth about the Forbidden City that he would never hear in his life.
"How could...how could this happen? Where in the Forbidden City could anyone be so...so unbearable as Ermao said?" Zai Chun still wanted to say a few words, but after carefully thinking about the rumors he had heard in the past, he only had the confidence to speak. Not so much anymore.
Xiao Letian snorted coldly, "Humph! You are the emperor and the master of the Forbidden City, so they have to put on a show in front of you no matter what. Of course you can't see these dirty things!"
"People's hearts! You can't even capture the hearts of the people around you. How can you capture the hearts of all the people in the future? You Zaichun keep talking about innovation and changing the law, but you can't even change the rules around you. Even you If you can’t find it, why do you want to innovate?”
"Think about it for yourself, there are so many evil laws being enforced around you, shouldn't it change?"
Zai Chun held his mouth in frustration, "Master! It's easier said than done... I know you want to abolish the eunuch system, but those Confucian scholars won't agree, and those princes and ministers won't listen either..."
"I am not the only one who enjoys the eunuchs and maids of the capital. All princes, Beile, have eunuchs to serve according to the rules... You can't let me bear all the blame!"
"Stupid!" Xiao Letian raised his eyes and shouted, "How stupid! Who are you? You are the emperor of the Qing Dynasty. You have to shoulder the entire country on your shoulders. How can you think of taking the blame?"
"You belong to the world, you are the king! You are the last scapegoat in this country. If you want power, you must first think about what responsibilities and obligations you have to bear!"
"Otherwise, why would the world support you?"
Zai Chun didn't dare to say anything back when he was scolded. Xiao Letian's finger almost touched his nose. "When you get to England, go and see for yourself. How do European royal families live without eunuchs? I haven't seen it either." The house has collapsed!"
"How many women are enough? Isn't the purpose of the eunuch system to prevent troubles in the emperor's harem? But don't you think about it, wouldn't it be better if you recruit fewer women? Do you need to use the eunuch system as a way to prevent thieves?"
"I have one last message for you. If you want to be the leader of ZTE, and if you want to reverse the decadent national destiny of the Qing Dynasty on your own, you must have the courage to turn the tide!"
"How can a person who doesn't even dare to innovate his own family affairs boast about being able to innovate the entire Qing Dynasty? Think about this for yourself..."
Zai Chun was scolded by Xiao Letian, but strangely enough, Zai Chun felt a little relieved after being scolded.
What he fears most in his heart is that his master treats him as if he were a guest. Then there is a problem. If he can scold himself, he is treating him as one of his own. Only outsiders would choose to be polite.
Zai Chun leaned on the railing and looked at the stars-like lights on the sea. The escort warships in the strait formed a huge diamond-shaped square array, and the Zhiyuan was protected within it.
"If you want to revolutionize the world, you must first revolutionize yourself... If you want to revolutionize the world, you must first revolutionize yourself..." Master Zai Chun repeated the words over and over again.
"Yes, as the ancients said, how can we clean the world if we don't clean one house? If I, Zai Chun, can't even clean the old pot of Manchu, how can I take care of the world? Yes, the master is right... "
Zai Chun never expected that Xiao Letian's poison would be so invisible. From today on, Zai Chun's fate would change dramatically.
Just when he was making up his mind, a pair of fragrant hands suddenly rested on his shoulders. "My lord, what are you thinking about? You must have let Yuan scold you..."
Looking back, he saw that it was Cai Bixia, the most beautiful officer in the navy. Zai Chun subconsciously twitched his nose to smell the fragrance on Cai Bixia's hands. The little gangster actually stuck out his tongue to lick those jade hands.
Fortunately, Cai Bixia hid quickly. She smiled and knocked Zai Chun on the head, "You are a little kid but you are big..."
The two of them leaned on the railing and looked at the beautiful scenery in the strait. After chatting for a while, they came to the topic between Yuan Yuan and Zai Chun just now.
When Cai Bixia heard Yuan's teaching to Zai Chun, the woman was shocked. She vaguely felt something was wrong, but she did not dare to speak to Zai Chun.
Cai Bixia herself is a child of a veteran Ryukyu noble. She has watched the battles in the officialdom and court since she was a child. In addition, traveling thousands of miles to study in Prussia has increased her knowledge. Finally, Xiao Letian's golden touch has taught this woman. As shrewd as a ghost.
Zai Chun didn't know what the master's poison was, but Cai Bixia understood it, but she didn't dare to say that she just looked at Zai Chun pitifully. This emperor, who was like a little brother, had a worrying fate in this life.
"Your Majesty... Zai Chun..." Cai Bixia said hesitantly, "Actually, the disadvantages of the reform are good, but the reforms that can be alleviated should be eased as much as possible. Many things have lasted for more than two hundred years. It's not you who said It can be changed in one go!"
Zai Chun obviously did not understand what Cai Bixia said but said excitedly, "Time has not waited for me! Sister, look at the British fleet in the sky, how powerful the country can support it!"
"What should we do if the Qing Dynasty doesn't cheer up? When will we be able to overcome it! So as long as I take charge of the government, I will definitely eliminate the shortcomings in a drastic way. I will make the Qing Dynasty have such a strong national power!"
"We can't fall behind any more, or we'll get beaten if we fall behind!"
