Fu Yin'er in his arms, Ito Hirobumi who followed him all the way outside the carriage, his father-in-law who spoke eccentrically at the banquet, and within the entire Chinese clan, there were more and more voices supporting the imperial system!
All these things were connected together, and the context was finally clear. Xiao Letian couldn't help but take a breath!
Could it be said that the father-in-law was the driving force behind the establishment of the imperial system by the entire Chinese race? It's very possible that this old man can do it for his grandson!
Sigh... After all, this is still the 19th century, and after all, they are still a group of people who grew up under the emperor's banner. Why can't the pigtails in these people's hearts be cut off even if they live or die?
Do you have to force me to become the emperor, and then Fu Yin'er becomes the second emperor? Is it that enjoyable? Why doesn't anyone understand my painstaking efforts?
What era is this? In forty years, the First World War will break out. Even if the Chinese have implemented an imperial system and I, Xiao Letian, become the emperor, how many generations can it be passed down?
It can't even last a hundred years. When the monarchy is dissolved and the whole country chooses a new system, it will be another bloody and tragic civil war!
If this were still the 17th century, or the 18th century, the connections between the continents were not deep, and the mutual conquests between countries were blocked by mountains, rivers and oceans!
If it were really that era, I, Xiao Letian, could also have a taste of the emperor! But no, humanity is about to enter the era of electrification and aerospace. If a civil war breaks out among the Chinese a hundred years from now...
I dare not think that by then Western civilization will be able to assemble the Eighteen-Nation Alliance and directly intervene militarily! This is no longer an era where we can live behind closed doors!
But how to explain this truth to these people? I don’t understand. They are not time travellers. They don’t know how terrifying the war in the future will be!
"Son... do you know why your father gave you the nickname Fu Yin'er? You have to hide it... our future family also has to hide it..."
"Don't rush to the front and be the target of the public. We are not tanks or human shields. We are assassins and dark mages in the shadows!"
"Hide our wealth and power in plain sight, and secretly influence the course of the human world!"
"We can secretly subvert small countries, we can also secretly fund newer science and technology, we can secretly control the education of the human world, and we can also use the media to influence the minds of the public!"
"The most important thing is that we have done all this without letting anyone find out... We will launch human shield tanks one by one to attract firepower from the front..."
"A wise man should hide deep in the abyss! My child, can you understand your father's painstaking efforts?"
Fu Yin'er definitely didn't understand, but he seemed to be able to feel his father's emotions. The little face looking at the lights of thousands of houses outside the window suddenly became melancholy!
This New Year was bittersweet after all. Zai Chun of the capital finally spared the lives of the three princes. Such good governance earned the cheers of a large number of Eight Banners nobles headed by Prince Dun!
This comes from the heart. These nobles in the palace did not die after seeing such a serious crime like Prince Gong, so their wealth and life are still guaranteed!
In other words, although Zai Chun shows signs of developing into a tyrant, he still cherishes the family ties of the Tian family in his heart!
As long as you don't die, you can live. People like the Eight Banners know this truth very well. When Dorgon died, Shunzhi opened a museum to whip corpses, but later generations were different and rehabilitated?
Whether Obai was ruthless or not, Emperor Kangxi was so ruthless that he cramped up and peeled off his skin, but he did not behead him in the end. Afterwards, Oboi's descendants were also rehabilitated!
We are all a family, so why bother to do things right, confinement is very good, if you have to endure some hardships and change in the future, you can recover again. Even if I can't get up, won't I still have children and grandchildren?
The Forbidden City was covered with flowers, but a black-clad motorcade outside Yongding Gate was filled with miserable and wailing sounds!
Yi Xin, Zai Cheng, plus several of the prince's Fujin and younger children, were in six black boxcars, pulling limited belongings and bedding, and wearing shabby clothes. They were escorted by 300 people and were about to leave the capital!
Prince Gong's neck was hung with an iron chain wrapped with yellow silk. This was the privilege of the prince. Even if he was shackled, he had to cover it. He knocked on the car window and smiled and said, "Brother, can you stop for a moment? Let me Let's take another look at the scenery of this capital city? Maybe you won't be able to see it again..."
The task of escorting Prince Gong to Xiling somehow fell on the heads of the three treasures and the guard leader Yi Siha!
One of these two was an officer of the Emperor's New Army, a die-hard loyalist of the royalist party, and the other was Cixi's face-sitter, who could not urinate in the same pot as Prince Gong, so they would not give him face.
The Sanbao said with a playful smile, "Oh... Your Majesty, what's so interesting about this capital city? It's all out of the city, it's just a broken city gate. It's cold weather, let's go to Xiling early!"
"Long live the Lord has sent orders before to make preparations over there. When the time comes, the warm fire bed and hot food and wine will be delicious, won't they?"
Isiha doesn't have a good temper. Taking on such a task of escorting prisoners even after the New Year is still a hot potato. You don't dare to blackmail or have any accidents. It's a typical hard job!
It's great to celebrate the New Year in the capital. As long as the Queen Mother of the West is well served, the popular and spicy drinkers will have whatever they want. Who among those dirty officials who don't come secretly to give themselves gifts during the New Year?
With the Queen Mother's grace, she also rewards a lot of gold and silver treasures, ginseng, deer antlers, etc. every year. Recently, Isiha even secretly stole two maids from the Queen Mother's side!
Sigh... The young palace maid is still very interesting to steal. No matter how well the queen mother takes care of her, she can't compare to that little girl!
What a wonderful life, I wouldn't change it if I had to sit on the Jinshan Mountain, but I was asked to do an errand by Long Live Lord, to go to Xiling to escort the prisoners in the cold weather, it was hard!
"My lord! Let's sing that song when we get to that mountain! How long has it been and you still don't want to leave?"
"I know what you are thinking, do you still want to wait for the decree? Don't wait, it's better to save your life. I don't want to regret the decree before I turn around!"
"Hmm... maybe you want to wait for an old friend to give you a gift? Oh... what are you thinking about? Who dares to touch your bag these days? It's better to get on your way..."
Yi Xin's face turned red. He had been the prince and had been in charge of the empire for so many years, and in the end, he had a slave to contradict him like this. This was not saving him any face!
The Three Treasures couldn't stand it anymore, and they thought to themselves that they would be able to meet each other in the future by leaving a little aside. It's not like you, Yisiha, have never been down and out. Why is your tail so high now?
But after all, this was Cixi's face, and he didn't dare to provoke him, so he just laughed from the sidelines.
Yixin blushed and took out a jade ring from the middle of his belt. "Brother, guard, I know how hard you have worked... but my family's property has just been confiscated, and I don't have any money..."
"It's just such a portable toy. I don't like it. Can you guys drink some wine instead?"
A woman's cry suddenly came from the black carriage. Prince Gong's relatives looked at the heaven-like prince, who was groveling and giving gifts to his slaves. They all couldn't help crying!
There is only one finger puller, but there are two people escorting the chief officer. How can we divide it up?
