"You mean something is going to happen to Benjamin?" Zai Chun stared at Er Mao.
"I don't know if something happened to Benjamin or what happened to this servant, but your Majesty must be clear about one thing. If Benjamin wasn't driven to a desperate state, why would he use such a despicable method?"
"The Prime Minister of the British Empire relies on some rogue thugs to discredit the head of state of another country? This method directly lowers his own status!"
"Your Majesty! Even if you are determined to jump on the British ship, you still have to think carefully about how much benefit you can get from Britain if the Chinese people without the head of state are falling hard on the other end of the scale. ?”
"Hahaha... you feel quite happy now, don't you? The British Prime Minister took the initiative to contact you, and the conditions must be extremely generous. But you have to understand, you can get so many benefits only because of your master's constant support. It was obtained by putting pressure on the UK!"
"Benjamin is asking for help from you. He hopes to get a diplomatic breakthrough from the Qing Dynasty, and then join forces to kill the Chinese! This is Benjamin's strategy. It is precisely because of this strategy that you have gained unexpected gains!"
"Just imagine, if there is no head of state, no such check, Britain is so full that it has to spend real money on you? What are you trying to do?"
A word to wake up the dreamer: "Ah!" Zai Chun exclaimed and stood up, frightened Da Sixi behind him to quickly let go.
"Er Mao! You really misunderstood me!" Zai Chun rushed up, grabbed his arm and shook it vigorously. "Master has always taught me that if you want to achieve anything in this world, you can't avoid Britain. It’s such a big mountain! The national power is too far behind, so I’m just trying to make ends meet!”
"Hurry and untie Er Mao... You don't have to say any more. I will go out and ask the queen to mediate in a while. If the queen doesn't agree, I will go to the East Palace to tie him up with the master. If Benjamin wants to blackmail us, master and apprentice, then he will No way!"
Ermao loosened the rope and rubbed his numb wrist. He didn't care to argue with Xiao Sixi and others, and he had no time to pay attention to Emperor Tongzhi's hypocrisy. "Your Majesty, the most important thing for the current plan is to communicate effectively with the master. We I don’t know the master’s plan, but all communication channels have been cut off by the head of state!”
"Now you are the only one who can come forward and go to the East Palace in person. I don't think anyone will stop you if your godfather tries to stop you. You have to understand the leader's plan before we can take action!"
"But...but how did you get this hair?" Er Mao pointed at Emperor Tongzhi's shawl and stamped his feet anxiously.
Zai Chun looked bitter and sighed, "It's a long story..."
Zai Chun's braids were really burned off. This morning, Prince William and Prince George gathered with Emperor Tongzhi under the protection of the Imperial Guard. The three of them had already agreed to go hunting together today.
There were no animal protection laws in Europe at this time. People still highly respected the primitive entertainment of hunting, and it was even a mainstream and praiseworthy activity.
In particular, nobles from all over the world regard hunting as the most effective way to cultivate the brave spirit of their offspring. They ride war horses with shotguns, wear close-fitting and handsome hunting clothes, swagger through the market surrounded by guards, and enjoy the admiration of girls. Eyes, this is such a cool thing.
In fact, not only the European aristocracy, but also the Qing Dynasty also attached great importance to hunting. The annual Mulan Autumn Hunting was a competition held by the emperor to maintain the bravery of the Eight Banners.
Zai Chun was weak since he was a child and could not draw a strong bow or swing a long spear. Therefore, he received more civil and political education since he was a child. The Queen Mother of the two palaces never thought of training him to be an emperor on horseback.
But he didn't expect that Xiao Letian would come out halfway and take Zai Chun away directly. Zai Chun's physical fitness had been greatly improved through running around in the melting pot of the recruit camp.
Although he is not expected to become a martial arts master, he still cannot fire a strong bow or heavy weapon, but there is no problem with riding a horse and operating firearms.
Countless bullets fed Zai Chun's marksmanship above the passing mark, and long-term horse riding training also allowed him to say goodbye to being weak. This time, with the invitation of William and George, the little emperor took the opportunity to hide from the trouble caused by his master. Waves, a group of people left Buckingham Palace at dawn without even notifying Er Mao.
The Royal Hunting Ground is located in the upper reaches of the Thames River, near the small town of Reading, where the Thames River meets the important tributary Kennedy River.
The scenery here is rich in humanities, it is very close to London, and it is far away from the industrial area, so it is the first choice for the wealthy class in London to buy property.
The royal hunting ground outside Reading City was home to a large number of wild ducks, swans, foxes, hares and other wild animals. Emperor Tongzhi and others had a great time as soon as they arrived here.
Horse hooves were as dense as rain, gunshots were like fried beans, the Imperial Guards were driving from both sides, and countless wild beasts were frightened and ran away. After all, the young emperor and the two princes were still young. The oldest emperor, Tongzhi, was only 13 years old. Count on their marksmanship. That's unrealistic.
But they couldn't stand it because they had money and were willing to waste bullets. The soldiers under their command took turns loading bullets for them. When the three of them saw the prey there, they fired as many times as they wanted, regardless of whether there were jujubes or not.
As a result, after more than two hours, two wild ducks and a hare were harvested, which was enough for the three of them to have a barbecue party.
With green grass, blue sky, and dense forests in the distance rustling in the wind, the pastoral scenery of England is really unforgettable.
The three people, Emperor Tongzhi, who were enjoying themselves, actually dismissed the attendants and wanted to hold a barbecue party by themselves. However, during the barbecue, an accident happened.
The British prince George was only four years old, and he was here to make soy sauce. The shotguns given to him were all specially made, with the smallest charge and the smallest power. He probably couldn't kill even a rabbit.
In order to take care of George, he was accompanied by two maids with waists as big as buckets and dressed as little princes. Zai Chun and William were both over ten years old. After years of study, they were able to talk about state affairs like adults.
William introduced his hometown of Prussia to Emperor Tongzhi, the customs and humanistic politics there, and the hidden ambition in his heart was expanding in his words.
Emperor Tongzhi and William were essentially the same type of people, and both belonged to the category of careerists. After a few words, Zai Chunshen realized that the voice was hard to find, and actually started to talk to William about the hardships he would face during his personal expedition.
William was turning the roasting fork in his hand, while Zai Chun was smearing olive oil and honey on the duck meat, and kept chatting about the political affairs of the two countries.
But at this moment, something happened!
Note: The third update is coming!
