After all, a battleship is not a yacht. No matter how noble your status is, you will not enjoy good treatment on a battleship. For example, the single cabin where Xiao Letian lives, although it has been luxuriously decorated, the entire area is only Just over twenty square meters.
There is a bed, a desk, a locker, and a faceplate rack in the corner fixed to the wall. There are a few remaining chairs opposite the desk, which can be used for meetings and negotiations.
In such a small space, it is okay to have a conversation, hold a small meeting, etc., but when I pick up the belt, the space really seems too narrow.
The thick cowhide armed belt was vigorously danced by Xiao Letian. The pens, ink, and folders on the table were all swept away. The gas lamp with a glass cover was also smashed to the ground. The two slaves Da Sixi and Xiao Sixi He knelt down among the broken glass and kowtowed.
"Prime Minister! Please Prime Minister, please stop fighting... I can't fight anymore. Master can't bear it! I beg you, slave..."
In the values of eunuchs, the emperor is their god. Who in the world except the emperor's parents dares to lay a finger on His Majesty? Even if you are an imperial master, you can be punished for endorsement, silent writing, or even slapped on the palm of your hand twice. Why do you just pick up the belt and slap your butt?
Zai Chun's white buttocks were exposed, and his pants were pulled down to his knees. At this moment, the cheeks of both buttocks were blood red and even started to turn purple.
Xiao Letian was really angry today, even though Zai Chun's attack this time could greatly weaken France at the negotiating table, and even turn all the French people's reasons into a fart.
But this is not what Xiao Letian hopes for. In his heart, he has never thought about letting Zai Chun rush to the front line and letting him take risks in exchange for a temporary victory at the negotiation table.
It's too dangerous. Only a lunatic would have such an idea. Xiao Letian is not that insidious yet.
Zaichun is still safe now, and the Chinese have an excuse to accuse France, but what if there is danger? If Zai Chun dies, the Chinese will be completely strategically passive.
Not to mention how crazy the Manchus would be, even the Hunan Army Group that had formed a secret alliance had to openly declare war on the Chinese. No matter how many little calculations Zeng Guofan had in his heart, once Emperor Tongzhi died, he would have to declare his position in front of hundreds of millions of people. At that time, all Chinese forces in the Qing Dynasty will be attacked and uprooted.
What's even more frightening is that once Zai Chun dies, the crazy Manchus will definitely look for their 'allies' in Europe. Even if they don't, Tsarist Russia, Britain and France and other countries will take the initiative to look for him.
In order to take revenge, the Manchu Qing Dynasty will definitely borrow troops. As long as there is this declaration of borrowing troops, the clan alliance will be established naturally. Ryukyu, which is isolated overseas, cannot stop the whole of Europe from uniting to strangle.
What a terrible scene. It was just a tiny bit away from Zai Chun. How could Xiao Letian not be angry?
"Asshole..." There was another snap of the belt, which was followed by Zai Chun's painful scream.
"Master... I was wrong, please don't hit me... I was wrong..."
"Did you eat too much sashimi and get parasites in your brain?" Xiao Letian pointed at Zai Chun while holding his belt and yelled.
"I should give myself a hard time. Why did I take you out of the Forbidden City in the first place? How about leaving you to harm others in Beijing? Do you think it's fun to come out and harm me..."
"I really regret sending you to the recruit camp for exercise. I thought it would add some masculinity to you. This is a good thing. Your muscles are all grown into your brain, right? You are an emperor, you can't eat Are you full and running to the front line of the battlefield? Is that where you should be?"
Xiao Le breathed heavily, "When we were in Vladivostok, I wanted to whip you, just because you almost lost the defense line. Do you know? You said that you are an emperor, but you almost turned me into a fat sheep." A few words are engraved on my forehead. What are you waiting for if they don’t arrest you? What do you think you are waiting for..."
"In the end, my brothers risked their lives to save you? I should have locked you up for life!"
"Are you capable? You are capable!" Xiao Letian went up and slapped Zai Chun with the belt again, making Zai Chun cry loudly and snot bubbles spurting out of his nose.
"Master, I was wrong... I just couldn't control it at the time! Didn't you say that only heroes can turn the tide? I, Zai Chun, will also be the king who will lead the reform of the Qing Dynasty in the future... If I am not iron-blooded, who will listen to me!"
"Ouch? You're quite good at speaking, aren't you? What's the matter... You want to impress me with your iron-blooded ambition as a soldier? Then you can wash away your mistakes? Let me tell you, you almost destroyed After destroying the entire Qing Dynasty and the Chinese people, you are still reasonable... I will slap you..."
Another belt came up, and Zai Chun screamed again.
"Zai Chun, Zai Chun! I tell you today that the king's iron blood lies in his unyielding will and his endurance in the face of troubles, rather than carrying a gun and going to the front line to repair his muscles..."
"You're not a Spartan, and I don't have Thermopylae for you to guard! You're so awesome... The waistband as long as Da Sixi didn't even tie you up? How on earth did you escape? ? Then no one in the whole room showed up, you have become a spirit!"
Xiao Letian was beaten and scolded, and Zai Chun was treated in an "inhumane" manner.
The two eunuchs Kneeling on the ground, the big and small Sixi, could no longer control the panic in their hearts. They were trembling like chaff and kept praying to the gods and Buddhas in the sky.
"Buddha! Jade Emperor! Take away this evildoer quickly. Why does he even dare to attack the emperor? This is going to cause lightning to strike from heaven!"
"Your Majesty, please grow up quickly. After taking over the throne, we must take revenge! We must take revenge..."
Xiao Letian couldn't hear the curse in the eunuch's heart, and he didn't care. After being whipped with a belt for ten full minutes, Zai Chun's buttocks were as swollen as a big basin.
It wasn't until there was no place to take off the belt that Xiao Letian calmed down. He took a step back and slumped on the chair, waving his hands feebly, "I'll help your majesty get dressed. I'll go to Dr. Huang for some plaster later..."
"Zaichun! Master is advising you for the last time, and I am really advising you for the last time!"
At that moment, Xiao Letian suddenly felt like he had aged three years. The sunlight from the porthole shone on the side of his face. Zai Chun suddenly noticed that his master seemed to have an extra speck of ash on his temples. At that moment, his heart was suddenly struck by something. .
Xiao Letian didn't look at him. Instead, he turned his head and looked at the flying seagulls outside the porthole: "Zai Chun! If you want to achieve great things, you must learn to love yourself. You must learn to cherish yourself first, and then you can love more people..."
"Life is inherently difficult, especially the environment you live in, which is even more shocking every step of the way! Sometimes surviving is a victory for you..."
"Reform takes time, and even more energy! Remember, from now on you must stop being reckless, and you must stop being womanizing..."
"Master..." Zai Chun suddenly blushed and wanted to refute, but Xiao Letian waved his hand and said calmly.
"I don't want to tell you any big principles, let alone morals. I just want to remind you... you are my apprentice. No matter what you become in the future, I, master..."
The corners of Xiao Letian's eyes were moist, and he didn't even dare to look at Zai Chun. He looked at the flying seagulls and said with a choked voice.
"Master, I just want you to live...live well..."
