Emperor Tongzhi led the horse, and Xiao Letian happily whispered to him. This scene was recorded by the cameras of Chinese and Western reporters at the scene, and became the headlines of various countries a few days later!
Seeing this scene, different people had different calculations in their hearts. Those conservative veterans were all extremely sad. The values that had been in the center of the Celestial World were shattered before their eyes. How could they not be sad!
It is a disgrace for an emperor who has been in the imperial court to kneel before the king of a foreign country and lead his horse to ride. In the past, you, Emperor Tongzhi, secretly knelt outside to follow the rules, and no one could see or care about it!
But now this is the capital of the Qing Dynasty, and all the people in the world can watch it!
It is a national shame to be willing to humble yourself and bow to a small country like the Chinese!
The conservative ministers were crying and scolding, but from the perspective of the reformists, this was a very obvious signal released by the emperor!
The emperor has gone to great lengths for the sake of reform. To be able to take Western learning as his teacher, and to be able to treat virtuous corporals to this extent shows that the emperor's determination to take a new path is unshakable!
Even in the minds of some ministers who have better access to the core secrets, all of Zai Chun's actions are purposeful and have a very clear strategic purpose!
I, Zaichun, am younger than you, Xiao Letian. This is unmistakable. Moreover, it is known to everyone that you, Xiao Letian, have no heirs!
I, Emperor Tongzhi, humbly bow to you as a disciple in front of all nations, and I will tell Britain, France, the United States, Russia, and all other countries that I, Zaichun, am Xiao Letian’s close disciple, my closest disciple!
Haha... No matter how the Chinese race develops in the future, wouldn't it be okay for the disciples to inherit part of the teacher's property? This makes sense legally!
What a wonderful move in leisure chess!
As for the foreign devils, they did not see it so deeply, but they could also feel that Emperor Tongzhi was really different from the previous emperors. This was an emperor who could be reasoned with and worthy of contact and cooperation!
However, Zai Chun's behavior angered one person. The stormtroopers led by Xiang Ying were furious when they saw Zai Chun leading his horse to fall!
With a smile on his face, Xiang Ying rode his horse to follow in the crowd, but in his heart he cursed, "Little bastard, the dog emperor of the Tartars! Isn't it enough to take advantage of the Chinese? How dare you use such a crooked idea!"
"You are lucky in the UK. You are not dead but you still don't know how to restrain yourself... Okay, okay, we will have plenty of time to have fun in Japan after we have been here for a long time!"
Zai Chun leading the horse was actually just a show. It was impossible to actually lead the horse all the way to the Forbidden City. From outside the city to the inside of the urn, the Ministry of Rites had a series of tedious welcome ceremonies. This was just going through the motions and taking a photo as a souvenir. !
Although everyone was annoyed, they had no choice but to let these people fiddle with them, and it was already past ten o'clock!
Later, Zai Chun wanted to meet his master at the Hall of Supreme Harmony and entertain these old Chinese acquaintances in front of the hall, but Xiao Letian politely declined!
"Your Majesty, this is embarrassing! I am really tired from Nanyang to Jiangnan and then across the entire Grand Canal. Please don't torture me!"
"Besides, the Hall of Supreme Harmony is only opened when the country has major celebrations. It's really inappropriate to open it for me alone! I'm just here to watch the ceremony as a teacher. It's fine if I drink a few more glasses of wedding wine during your wedding. You honor me!"
"Master... Then where do you want to live? I have packed up the Haiyan Hall in the city. You can live there. If you don't like the environment in the city, then go to Wanshou Mountain. I have also arranged several palaces on the banks of Kunming Lake. Ask someone to clean it up, the environment is very quiet!"
Xiao Letian laughed immediately, "No, no, no, I can't live in Haiyantang. Wanshou Mountain is too far away... I live in the Chinese office in Beijing, although the Qing Dynasty does not recognize it as Chinese." Embassy, but I hope the plaque can be changed when I leave after my wedding!"
"Master, don't worry. After my disciple's wedding, the first thing he will do is to register the name of the Chinese embassy... But it's still a little smaller over there!"
"Still young? No, Guangxia Qianjian can't sleep more than three feet. Why do you need such a big house?"
Speaking of this, Xiao Letian whispered in Zai Chun's ear, "The Qinghe riot has just ended, and you didn't even find out who was behind it. At this time, I am entering the palace in a big way? Someone will be calling me Dong Zhuo of Xiliang for entering the capital tomorrow." !”
"Please let me worry less and save myself a few scoldings!"
Xiao Letian had said these words. What else could Zai Chun say? He could only bid farewell to his master at the Dongsi Archway. Xiao Letian turned around and headed south. Of course, it was impossible for all of his more than a thousand guards to enter the city!
There are only 200 guards around at the moment, and the rest are resting temporarily in the independent military camp outside Chaoyang Gate. The Northern Bureau has repaired the place half a month in advance. The houses have been repainted, the surrounding environment has been cleaned, the ditches have been dredged, and the sand and soil of the horse farm have been cleaned up. All padded again.
Chickens, ducks, fish, meat, fresh vegetables, poultry and eggs are being brought to the military camp in carts. This scene makes the camp commander of the nine admirals next door very envious. Looking at the carts of fresh food that he can’t even eat during the New Year, he thinks to himself that this is the head of state. The rumor of loving a soldier like a son is indeed true!
"Tsk tsk... Did you see that? There are more than ten cows brought in! I heard that Chinese soldiers have rules and have to drink milk every day..."
"Oh my god, I have a baby camp with me! I can't match the prince's treatment...it can't be compared, it really can't be compared!"
The garrison outside the city caused a commotion, not to mention Xiao Letian's every move inside the city attracted the attention of the whole city. Where the Chinese cavalry passed by, the roads were lined with crowds of people watching the excitement, including many elderly people. I was lucky enough to meet Xiao Letian back then!
Six years have passed, and the head of state's return to Beijing has made the evil spirit even worse!
"My ancestors! When I met the head of state, I knew that he was the reincarnation of a lone star from the sky, but now I see the real dragon energy surrounding him!"
"That is, he was able to conquer the French capital in Europe. The French Emperor was so powerful and ended up being a prisoner!"
"What a blessing this is? Otherwise people would say that this man is the real Hidden Dragon of the East China Sea!"
"More than just the Hidden Dragon of the East China Sea, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the Hidden Dragon of the Qing Dynasty... His Majesty the Emperor is a revealed dragon that can be seen by all people!"
"This head of state is the hidden dragon corresponding to the Xianlong...the combination of yin and yang protects our Qing Dynasty!"
"Ouch! You scarred head also knows Yin and Yang? Haha... I am the emperor of the Chinese clan, not the Qing Dynasty!"
"Bah... you, you, you... you know nothing! The head of state is the master of Long Live, and that is the one who protects our Qing Dynasty for thousands of years! And the head of state will never proclaim himself emperor!"
"This proves that the head of state is the Hidden Dragon! The purpose of coming to this world is to push the true dragon to reveal the dragon and create a prosperous age!"
"Just wait and see, the Chinese will be merged into our Qing Dynasty sooner or later!"
"Didn't you see that outside the city, His Majesty was leading the head of state's horse? Why do you think that's the case? The hidden dragon has been a great help. There is nothing wrong with the real dragon being grateful for leading the horse!"
"In the future, the Hidden Dragon will really escape one day. Who will inherit that large piece of family property? Isn't it the real dragon that shows up in the Qing Dynasty? You just listen to me, that's right!"
"My wife-in-law's brother-in-law's best friend is one of the palace purchasers who specializes in vegetables. Is the news he got from the palace false?"
Along the way, Xiao Letian couldn't laugh or cry from the rumors he heard, but he couldn't get angry yet. After a while, they saw the flow of people on East Chang'an Street!
