The king will not kill the king! This is a tradition of the European royal family, and it is also a morality they believe in.
Because European royal families are basically relatives within relatives, and marriages follow marriages, which is completely the result of several large dynasties in history diverging from each other.
The Capetian dynasty, the Habsburg dynasty, the Oldenburg dynasty, the Wettin dynasty, and the Witweisbach dynasty are the five most famous dynasties in European history. They basically include the entire European aristocratic system. I can't escape from this circle.
Since we are all a family, we have to pay attention to face and bottom line in some things. There are wars between countries, and sometimes a fight can last for more than a hundred years. The economy is in decline, the people are in dire straits, and countless soldiers and civilians have died.
But no matter how the civilians die, the king will not die, because the European aristocracy believes in the iron law that the king does not kill the king.
Are you a king and emperor? Then if you fail, go to the countryside, or be exiled, or else you can go to a relative's house to take care of yourself, and they won't kill you anyway.
Napoleon failed twice and was exiled twice. The anti-French alliance was so awesome that no one dared to kill him.
Napoleon III stepped down after the Franco-Prussian War, and no one dared to kill him and imprison him alive. As soon as the final treaty was signed, the British royal family directly took him away for retirement.
There was also World War I. The German Emperor Wilhelm II, the little prince who is now living with Queen Victoria in London, was overthrown by the people after the war. In the end, the Queen of the Netherlands gave him a castle. Raised.
The victorious countries such as Britain and France knew that William II, a war criminal, was hiding in the Netherlands, but in the end they turned a blind eye and let him go. They said that he was a war criminal and tried him, but in the end there was no evidence of anything. A country willing to implement.
Isn't this interesting? Many countries have ruled that Wilhelm II is a war criminal, but what's the point of not executing your sentence?
In fact, this is a tradition in Europe. The king does not kill the king. You can defeat him but you cannot kill him.
In the entire modern history of Europe, there were actually only three kings and emperors who were tried and sentenced to death.
The first was Charles I of England, who was executed in 1649. His death announced the complete collapse of the British feudal system and the beginning of capitalism.
The second person to be executed was Louis XVI of France, who was executed in 1793. His death was related to the Great Revolution, and the Great Revolution was the awakening of human rights awareness recognized by history.
The third person to be executed was Nicholas II, the last emperor of Tsarist Russia. He was executed in 1918. After that, the Soviet Union became a proletarian dictatorship. Needless to say, the impact of the Red Empire on history.
In the thousand-year history of the kingdom, only three kings were actually sentenced to death, and the deaths of these three kings were due to the tide of the times. They actually died at the hands of great historical changes, not simply victory or defeat. Argument.
Therefore, it is absolutely an iron rule in Europe that the king should not kill the king. You can make him step down but you must not kill him.
From this point of view, when the British and French forces entered Beijing, even if Xianfeng did not escape, his life would not be in any danger, because what Britain and France ultimately wanted were treaties and interests, not the overthrow of the Qing Dynasty.
Alliance under the city, let's negotiate. Maybe we can save the Old Summer Palace by spending a few more coins.
Xiao Letian was very aware of the turmoil between the European royal families, so when Zai Chun fought without authorization and encountered danger, his first instinct was to beat him up, but his second instinct was to use his strength to fight. Bullets give France an absolute passivity.
Xiao Letian rushed to the front line with all the translators, disclosed Zai Chun's identity in front of the entire Port Said and the British army, and also put a dragon robe on Zai Chun.
This is to put the crime of regicide directly on the French. From now on, don't talk about the canal crisis. Please explain to me the crime of shooting the emperor.
When did European armies become allowed to kill kings?
The charge of regicide was repeated over and over again, and all the French people present were speechless. They did not know how to answer this question.
After all, the row of bullets just now was fired in full view of the public. The British could see it clearly, and there was no way to hide it.
The counselor was also dumbfounded. He didn't know how to curse. He muttered, "How could this happen? How did it become like this..."
In a state of astonishment, the Zhiyuan finally saw the waves of the Mediterranean Sea. In front of it was the bay of Port Said, with the rippling blue waves of the Mediterranean Sea right in front of it.
"Increase the power! Rush over... push this damn battleship out!" Xiang Ying roared excitedly in the command cabin. His left hand was shaking with pain, and Cai Bixi was disinfecting him with alcohol.
Cai Bixia, who was filled with tears, looked up and looked ahead, "It's not easy, I finally broke out! The national destiny of our Chinese nation is unstoppable..."
The squeaking Maranta was pushed out of the river inch by inch by the Zhiyuan. Her big round butt was the first to get out of the canal mouth, and was then severely scratched by the cargo ship.
The entire Maranta began to emerge from the river, and then rotated counterclockwise on the sea. Its big butt knocked open one cargo ship after another, and there were constant shouts and curses on the sea.
"Come out! Long live the Zhiyuan! Long live the Chinese people!"
With overwhelming cheers, the Zhiyuan finally emerged from the mouth of the canal. The bow of the ship pierced the hull of the Maranta and broke away from it. The proud iron-clad beast finally broke through the Suez Canal and kissed the broken waters of the Mediterranean. Tao.
The French are desperate. No one knows what to do now. Look at the Maranta. The entire ship was shattered and the hull was pushed to the side of the main channel. Looking at the extent of the damage, it would be impossible to repair it without a year. Maybe go to sea again.
Let’s look at the ships of the French Mediterranean Fleet in the distance. They were divided into sections by the British fleet that was forcibly interspersed. Let alone stopping the Zhiyuan, it was now difficult for them to even approach the port.
"Damn it! I'm almost catching up with Tang Monk to learn Buddhist scriptures. It's so difficult. When will it be over?"
Xiao Letian at the bow of the ship smiled sadly, and then he slapped the railing of the ship's bow and shouted excitedly, "Anyway, the Zhiyuan came through and was unscathed!"
"Nice job!" Xiao Letian suddenly leaned forward and looked down at the brass-plated flying dragons on both sides of the ship's bow. In this collision, the two ship's bow statues were not damaged at all. They were even damaged due to friction during the collision. The golden dragon shone even more brightly.
"The enemy's blood polishes our golden dragon! What a good sign, what a good sign!"
"Tell the British that we have to rest in Port Said for three days... Damn it, I'm going to disgust the French here for three days!"
