Zaitu arrived in front of Emperor Guangxu in a hurry. He ignored the grand ceremony of kneeling three times and kowtowing nine times. He leaned over and whispered in front of his father, reporting what had just happened on the battlefield.
When Yi Xin heard that the workers at the steel plant actually jumped out to support Zai Chun and fought on the front line, she couldn't help but frown, "No matter how hard I calculated, I never figured out that there was a team hidden here. Zai Chun's Such a good heart..."
Speaking of this, Yi Xin suddenly looked at Cai Bixia and said, "Mr. Cai...just now those workers in Qinghe Industrial Zone declared war on my army. They kidnapped Zai Chun brazenly. The leader was actually sent by you Chinese people." engineer……"
"Is this authorized by you? Is there any trace of you? I have to ask clearly! Have you Chinese people decided to go to war with us?"
Cai Bixia's heart skipped a beat. She never thought that people like Xin Jian would act on their own initiative like this? There is no order to do such a big thing.
But she said calmly, "I'm sorry! I don't know the information you mentioned. I didn't give any orders. I can also guarantee that the Chinese didn't give any orders!"
"Hahaha... Okay... you just don't have to give the order! If you don't give the order, it is a thug's behavior. This is a rebellion against our Qing Kingdom. Naturally, I have to follow the rules of our Qing Kingdom..."
"Haha... No! When Xin Jian and other engineers came to Qinghe Industrial Zone, there was a treaty! They enjoy diplomatic immunity, and even if they are dealt with, we will send people to deal with them!"
"What a fucking bully!" Zai Cheng jumped anxiously, "Damn, are you still being unreasonable? What kind of bullshit rules and treaties, I don't care about them, so I won't care about this bullshit treaty..."
Cai Bixia was not annoyed when she was scolded but instead said something back: "Haha... What does the second elder brother mean by this? Is this to make it clear that he does not abide by the contract?"
"Okay, okay... in front of people from Britain, France, Russia, and other countries below the imperial court, how many more times can you tell me, do you have the ability to abrogate all treaties?"
"I still have the same question! Do you recognize the treaty signed by Emperor Tongzhi? The attitude you are showing us now is that you don't want to acknowledge it?"
Emperor Guangxu raised his hand to stop the angry Zai Cheng, "Okay, stop bickering! There will be plenty of time for bickering at the negotiation table in the future...Old man, go to the industrial zone immediately. As my envoy, go and persuade Zai Chun to surrender!"
"What's the matter... Let's discuss it behind closed doors at the Aixinjueluo family. You are the Imperial Master. You said it should be useful!"
The old man kowtowed, "Your Majesty... I... I dare to ask Your Majesty... to make an oath!"
"At this moment, Prince Baylor of the Eight Banners, the ministers, and the envoys from various countries, are speaking to the ancestors of the Qing Dynasty! Can you make an oath!"
"Protect Zai Chun's life without worries! As long as you ensure that Zai Chun's life is safe...I will fight with this old bone!"
"You..." Yi Xin stared and pointed at Weng Tonghe, "Are you also... coming to force me?"
The old man took off his hat, knocked out a bloody mark on his head and said, "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...
"It is unlucky to kill the king... The king will not kill the king... I beg your majesty to leave a way for Emperor Tongzhi to survive. I beg your majesty to leave a way to survive..."
At this time, all the civil servants behind the old man knelt down and said, "Please show mercy to your Majesty... Regicide is unlucky... The king will not kill the king... Please show mercy to your Majesty..."
To ask for mercy, just kowtow, and the Confucian scholar can only use his own self-mutilation behavior to repay the salary he received from Zai Chun back then!
At that moment, Cai Bixia suddenly seemed to have a light turned on in her heart, and she seemed to understand many things.
Those cowardly Confucian scholars who kowtow to the powerful and these Confucian scholars who self-harm and kowtow to save Zai Chun are actually a group of people!
What exactly is Confucianism? These scholars who do not have knives in their hands may be ridiculed by countless people, deriding them as weaklings and traitors!
But they also have their own reasons! They are loving this country and nation in every way they can think of!
Two hundred years have passed since the Qing Dynasty entered the country. At that time, the Han people had no armed force to stop them. If they didn’t, they didn’t have it. It’s not that they hadn’t tried, but they just didn’t have it!
What to do if not? Is it all for Wen Tianxiang? If they are all dead, who will inherit the Han culture?
These Confucian scholars spent two hundred years kowtowing in the Manchu court to become grandsons. Aren't they actually the gourds of lubricating oil in the machine tools in the industrial zone?
The violent internal combustion steam engines, like the sharp knives of the Manchu Empire and the Eight Banners, exude violent power and want to kill people all the time!
How to soften these violent forces and turn them into forces that all people can accept, struggle to survive, and survive from generation to generation... This is what these Confucian scholars are doing!
They don't understand! They have never been abroad! I have never seen new technology! Not to mention the far-sighted strategic thinking of the head of state!
They are just a group of ignorant Confucian scholars. What can they do? What can they do in the face of this era of great change?
The six Japanese armies have entered the city. Zai Chun and so many new troops can't stop him. The emperor has fled. What can they, the Confucian scholars, do?
It's so easy to die! Life is not easy!
In fact, they use their extremely limited knowledge to save the world and repay the kindness of Emperor Tongzhi. They use their poor analytical skills to love the world as much as possible!
Just like myself, what's so great about me, Cai Bixia? Didn’t I just study abroad, know a lot of foreign languages, know a lot of new knowledge, know the principles that my parents didn’t understand, and have seen the world that they have never seen!
Why am I tired of my parents’ dictating? The understanding of my father's generation is just like that. They don't have the same life experience as Cai Bixia, and they haven't learned that!
But they are still using their own knowledge and all their abilities to love themselves and give themselves some attention that they think is right!
Ah...it's the same world, but it's different in the eyes of different people!
You can laugh at his mistakes, but you really can't laugh at his heart, even if he did something wrong!
Many years later, Cai Bixia wrote in his memoirs, "The reason why I can be rated as an excellent politician by future generations! It has a decisive relationship with this moment of enlightenment!"
"I even vaguely feel that the master took me out of the navy and threw me into the capital, which is like a boiling oil cauldron in the Qing Dynasty! I came to be this special envoy just to give me such an opportunity for enlightenment!"
Cai Bixia's guess was not wrong at all. Xiao Letian from Savage Island in the distant Indian Ocean finally came up with the answer!
During those days when he was spending time on Savage Island, gray-bearded Liu Lang and Xiao Letian once took a walk on the beach late at night, and the two also talked about the future development of the Chinese nation.
Liu Lang, like King Yi, is a relatively detached figure among Xiao Letian's forces, so there are certain things that Xiao Letian can only say to them.
