The first words Li Tuo spoke, he directly threw out a king bomb. Everyone in the Ancestral Temple was dumbfounded. Zai Chun jumped up from his chair, "What? You have a quarter of Manchu blood? What do you mean?" ?”
Li Tuo kowtowed with a mournful face and said, "I didn't dare to say it before, because the country has a rule that Manchus and Han people cannot intermarry. I was afraid that I would break the rules if I said it..."
"Xiao Chen's grandma is a Manchu... a Manchu from the Rehe area of Chengde. My grandfather is Han, and my grandfather and grandma are Han. In this way, Xiao Chen has a quarter of Manchu blood..."
"Grandma has loved me since I was a child. Even if I am nothing, I will not harm the Qing Dynasty! I beg Your Majesty to atone for my sins, atone for my sins!"
The prohibition of intermarriage between Manchus and Han people was an old rule of the Qing Dynasty. It was enforced very strictly in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China. At that time, the Manchus looked down on the Han people from the bottom of their hearts.
If the Han people want to intermarry with the Manchus, there is only one way to do it: raise the flag and raise the Han family into a banner family. There is no taboo.
Most of these special cases occur when Han girls marry into Manchu families, while Manchu girls rarely marry into Han families.
However, all this has become less sophisticated as two hundred years of ups and downs have taken hold. Li Tuo's words reveal a true civil society in the late Qing Dynasty.
"Back to Your Majesty! My grandma's family is only a Manchu, not a Bannerman. Now among the people, the so-called rule of not intermarriage between Manchu and Han has long been changed..."
"Today's rule is that bannermen and Han people will never intermarry unless they raise the flag, and the families who raise the flag will not be treated by the real Eight Banners powerful families..."
"The Han family that carries the flag can only marry the banner family with a small family!"
"But the Banners are different from the Manchus. Your Majesty, you don't know. Now that the Manchus have been multiplying for two hundred years, the population of the Manchus has become more and more. These people do not have the status of Banner people and do not have hard-core crops, so they can only Find a way to make a living on your own!"
"In the early years, when the country was prosperous, the Manchus took good care of each other, and their lives were still tolerable. But now that everything is in ruins, a large part of the Manchus have also declined..."
"When a man is poor and his ambition is short, a horse is skinny and his hair is long. It would be a joke to follow any other rules at this time. That's why my grandma married into a Han family!"
"Although I am a Han Chinese, I have a quarter of Manchu blood. I was raised by my grandmother, so my loyalty to the court is not what I say. I beg your Majesty to atone for my sins... …”
wonderful! magic! It’s really different! This sentence is simply the most correct and wise saying in the world!
When everyone found out that Li Tuo actually had a quarter of Manchu blood, they didn't know why, but the way they looked at him suddenly became pleasant and gentle!
Ci'an asked, "Do you have any evidence?"
Li Tuo kowtowed, "Queen Mother! My grandma's fifth brother, my fifth grandpa is still alive... He lives in Rehe. I even visited his old man the year before last..."
"You will know everything as soon as you ask me. Even if I kill you, I will not dare to lie about this kind of thing!"
As soon as they heard that there was a witness, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The look in Li Tuo's eyes softened even more. "So that's it...this folk thing is really legendary!"
At this time, people did not say anything about the reason why Manchus and Han people did not intermarry. Banner people were banner people, and Manchus were Manchus. From the outside, it was one thing, but insiders knew it was different.
There are Manchus, Hans, and Mongolians among the bannermen. This bannerman is actually a system, not a system based on examinations but a system inherited by blood.
With the establishment, you will have an iron rice bowl, and you can be promoted faster!
The Manchus are Manchus, and the unorganized Manchus are also ordinary people. For example, the wild Jurchens like Guaizima are also Manchus but they are not bannermen!
Li Tuo's grandma's family was actually the Manchus who did not follow Aisin Gioro and others to conquer the country two hundred years ago. They did not fight and kill people, and did not bear blood debts. Of course, they did not receive the rewards of bannermen.
Even if they live their lives honestly, you won’t be able to tell how different they are in life!
Zai Chun breathed a sigh of relief at this time, "Li Tuo, your ancestor violated the rules of the imperial court and will naturally be punished. However, I hope that you will serve the country, and I will use your merits to make up for the crime in the future!"
"As for what you said, I really want to verify it later. If you lie, you will inevitably be punished by the whole family!"
"Get back on your feet... It's daylight now. I have to cheer up. Li Tuo, go down and do your errands, assist King Dun and Fu Qing, and make good use of all the strategies in your belly..."
"Open the gate of the Ancestral Temple...Xuan Baiguan kowtows to the ancestors! I haven't been defeated yet!"
Long live my emperor! As the sun rose in the east, Emperor Tongzhi held a grand dynasty meeting in the Ancestral Temple and held a general mobilization meeting to counter the rebellion.
At the meeting, Chun Chun was in high spirits and showed no signs of depression. Two bowls of ginseng soup kept him energetic. The strategy to counter the rebellion was basically Li Tuo's plan!
The Yongding River defense line was established, martial law was declared in the capital, and the police headquarters of the capital was mobilized to calm the people... Fuqing was sent to Tanggu Industrial Zone to negotiate in person to purchase grain, grass and arms!
In the afternoon of the same day, Zai Chun also summoned envoys from various countries in Dongjiaominxiang outside the Meridian Gate. For this diplomatic meeting, he brought out a full set of imperial guard of honor. The flags and umbrellas outside the Meridian Gate were like clouds, and the honor guards of the New Army and the Forbidden Army filled the Meridian Gate. square.
The ministers from various countries were all shocked when they saw such a scene. When they saw the heroic aura of the little emperor, their original views on the war situation were somewhat shaken!
Especially at three o'clock in the afternoon, three Zeppelins appeared in the sky outside the Meridian Gate, flying slowly from east to west at a height of more than ten meters.
"I succeeded to the throne and was appointed by heaven! I am the monarch with the purest and purest inheritance in the two hundred years of the Qing Dynasty! This is recognized by all countries!"
"It's just a small rebellion. It can't disrupt the Qing Dynasty, nor can it disrupt my rule!"
"The emperor guards the gate of the country, and the king dies in the country! If I am here in the capital, the capital will not fall!"
"You also go to overseas countries to help me! Cherish the traditional friendship between you and me!"
The demonstrations and threats of soft knives made the ministers act as if they were meeting the little emperor for the first time. They kept their heads low and did not dare to be disrespectful in the slightest.
After the meeting, the young emperor even shook hands with the ministers from various countries to say goodbye. After waiting in front of the British Minister Wetoma, Zai Chun looked at the British Minister who bent down and bowed almost ninety degrees, shook hands and sneered, "I have two imperial uncles who are still here." Are you staying in the embassy temporarily? There is no need to send it here. I am afraid that the two uncles will be hungry, so I will reward them with two carts of white rice later..."
"I want to remind your Excellency the Minister! Although the capital is far from London, it is not without information... I will write to Her Majesty the Queen later, but I want to ask how the Queen should teach me when there are so many things happening in East Asia. ?”
With a whoosh, Wetoma felt the cold air coming out of his neck. He was so frightened that when he was about to explain, the little emperor pulled his hand away and walked into the palace!
Witoma looked extremely embarrassed when he was left on the spot. The ministers from other countries did not say much, but looked at him with strange expressions.
The carriages of envoys from various countries slowly left the Jinshui Bridge, and the British minister fell into deep thought in the carriage!
