Rich and delicate foam emerged from the champagne glass. A few simple dishes were placed on the stone table in the pavilion. The guards pulled out the isolation zone far away. Only Xiao Letian and Yi Xin were here.
"Hey... I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Back then, the prince invited me to eat with running water, but tonight I can only serve four cold dishes. Fortunately, this wine is good, a treasure of the Palace of Versailles..."
Before he finished his opening remarks, Yi Xin picked up the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp. The cold wine juice instantly lifted his spirits!
"Ah! So happy..."
Xiao Letian was about to say that this is not how champagne is drunk, but thinking about this situation, he could only shut up!
Putting down the glass of wine, Yixin looked at Xiao Letian, "Drinking the emperor's champagne, eating the specialty dishes of the head of state's royal chef, the newly built Chinese Embassy's style garden... But what about outside this high wall?"
"It's Shura Hell! It's a fight, every life is taken away, how many innocent souls entered the underworld that night... Haha, what a good method, Xiao Letian, you are really a good method!"
"Me? Your Majesty, you mean to say that I organized all of this? In that case, how come you dare to come to my place to take refuge?"
Yi Xin shook his head and pointed at the empty wine glass, "Pour the wine...it's not you, I'm not a fool, and you didn't do anything tonight!"
Xiao Letian smiled bitterly and continued to pour wine for Yi Xin, listening to his half-drunk chatter!
"You just got the concession you wanted, and your dream plan to encroach on my Qing Dynasty has finally begun... You cunning fox, I really didn't know that the door of the Palace of Hell was not closed and let you out! "
"Everyone in the world is revolting, who is killing ten houses and nine empty houses, and exhausting manpower, material and financial resources to change the dynasty? But you, you madman, want to take a road that no one has ever walked before!"
"Do you think I don't know your thoughts? You want to make money while fighting the war, and you want to expand the wealth of the people while changing dynasties!"
"What are you not crazy about? You can actually make the Chinese people become richer and richer the more they fight, and the more warlike they are, the stronger the country becomes! You have broken China's thousands of years of experience!"
"I can guess what your concession will look like in the end. It's just a series of military bunkers, just like the Ningjin Defense Line when the Ming Dynasty defended us!"
"You guys! You Han people just like to build the Great Wall and build cities! The same goes for you... You are going to use military bases to completely defeat the Qing Dynasty!"
"What's even more terrible is that your fortress actually has the ability to make money! Each fortress can also create countless wealth... How good is this? You have single-handedly changed the laws of war!"
Yi Xin raised his head and took another glass of wine, then pointed at the glass to indicate that it was filled. Xiao Letian could only smile bitterly and grumble with the drunkard.
"But there is a shortcoming in your plan, and that is that it takes time! The Great Wall was not built in a day. If these concessions of yours do not take ten or twenty years to build, you will not go to war with me, the Qing Dynasty!"
"So, I judge that you are not the mastermind tonight. You have no reason to do this. It is not in your interests!"
"Well... is this the reason why you came to seek refuge with me?" Xiao Letian asked, "Aren't you afraid that I will reject you flatly?"
"Reject? No, if you refuse, you won't be Xiao Letian, because you have to prove to the world that you have nothing to do with the whole thing!"
"You have to prove to the world that you are not the mastermind behind this, so how to prove it? Is there any better proof than to provide me with protection?"
"So you have to protect me! In fact, I can also go to the British, but I hate the foreign devils and the smell of them!"
"Which is the lesser of two evils, after thinking about it, it's more pleasing to your eyes!"
Xiao Letian smiled bitterly and touched his nose. "So, you eat my food, drink my food, and let me protect you. In the end, is this for my own good?"
"Yes! Of course it's for your own good. With this kind of heart, you have to open another bottle of good wine... Don't keep it to yourself. Although this bottle is good, it is definitely not the best bottle for you to keep! "
"Come on! I only have one bottle of Abbey Champagne from 1790 left. Just for your sake... open it! This is a fine wine brewed during the French Revolution!"
"You can taste the taste of blood..." Xiao Letian said quietly, pretending to be mysterious.
Let's reopen the wine. Most people can't drink France's spoils of war. Xiao Letian actually has some respect for Yi Xin in his heart!
Although this man is his own enemy, his loyalty to the Eight Banners and his own nation is worthy of appreciation! It feels a bit like working hard!
"Ah... good wine, it tastes like blood... this wine is perfect for tonight's scenery!"
Xiao Letian had a drink with him, "Since the prince has denied my suspicion, and you yourself said that you were wronged, then I have doubts. Who did this?"
"Pretending to be stupid! Are you pretending to be stupid? How could you, Xiao Letian, not guess it? Besides your good apprentice, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, who else could be there?"
"Hunchun came to Beijing to carry out this top-secret mission, right? Xiao Letian, you are really good at teaching an excellent conspirator!"
"Zaichun himself shaped himself into a sufferer, and he became the most aggrieved person. But in fact, all this was a fascination array set up by him to win the sympathy of the people all over the world!"
"With this matter at the bottom! Wouldn't it be easy to kill me again? What a good boy, what a good emperor... I, the Qing Dynasty, are blessed!"
Xiao Letian lowered his head, "Is it him? Is it really him..."
Xiao Letian has actually suspected Zai Chun for a long time. Although Zai Chun is indeed the biggest suspect in this matter from the perspective of the beneficiary, is the beneficiary necessarily the actor?
Based on my understanding of Zai Chun, this child is not so insidious. Such a plan to wipe out the family is not close to his character!
Xiao Letian raised his head and looked at Yi Xin, "My lord... I'm afraid you are not just taking refuge here, right? Are you still trying to trick me?"
"You forced me to save you! You know that I will not destroy the current stable situation of the Qing Dynasty... But once I protect you, there will be a rift between His Majesty and I!"
"You are sincerely throwing sand into a pot of good rice!"
For this reason, Yi Xin didn't bother to hide it, "You've already tricked me into this, so you won't allow me to fight back?"
"Xiao Letian, Xiao Letian, don't say I didn't remind you, this royal family is so heartless. No matter how close you are to Zai Chun, you will fall out sooner or later in the future!"
"Everyone in the world thinks that you, Xiao Letian, are invincible, but in my eyes, that's a joke! After so many years of ups and downs in officialdom, I only now understand the word 'fate'!"
"You, Xiao Letian, have the upper hand. Every time you win, the blessings in your life will be deducted. Sooner or later, you will deduct all the blessings... I will wait patiently and endure it slowly. I just want to see When did you take a big fall!"
"I've had enough wine... Lend me a bed and I'll take a nap!"
"Oh my god, this thief! How many lives do you have to take to satisfy yourself?"
Yi Xin wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and looked to the north, "There are still 40,000 lives suffering! Your Majesty, your Majesty... they are all our bannermen! Are you really willing to take action?"
