The Cai family, Lin family, and Jin family are the three largest factions in the Ryukyu veteran system. They have all made decisions. What can the other minister families do?
These people stood up and said loudly, "Follow the Führer to the death! Please give the order, Your Majesty!"
King Shang Tai looked at the humble gestures of these people without a trace of smile: "Haha...are they all true? I don't think so!"
"I have been traveling around the world in the past few years. On the surface, I am an idle king. I enjoy the glory and wealth, go hunting for treasures and adventures, and search for monuments around the world..."
"But I'm not blind! It's not like I don't know what everyone is doing!"
"How much property does Europa have for you? Don't you know how many properties you have? Now you say you are loyal to me and to His Majesty the Head of State!"
"I'm afraid your allegiance is still to money, right? Tell me, how many benefits have the British given you?"
As soon as these words came out, no one in the entire ancestral hall dared to stand, and with a bang, they all knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, atone for your sins! I am guilty!"
Even the old general Cai Mao said with red eyes, "I will punish you! The Chen family also has business in Europe... Please rest assured, your majesty, I will close these shops today!"
Representatives of the Jin family and the Lin family also wiped their sweat and said, "I am guilty... Chen and other family businesses also accepted shares from British businessmen. I didn't think so much at the time, just because they had a sales channel network in Europe!"
"I will withdraw my shares from them when I get back... Let's do it now!"
King Shangtai waved his hand, "That's not what I'm talking about! The head of state has never banned everyone from doing business with foreigners! Closing the country will not work!"
"But I also want to remind you! You can do business, but only for business. If you let these foreign devils get involved in our Chinese politics and you use them as a springboard, you will definitely die!"
"Yes, I know what many Chinese businessmen think! Britain is already an empire on which the sun never sets, and the Royal Navy is invincible in the world! This is not France and Russia, this is the real global hegemon!"
"It's hard to fight! It's very difficult! If the head of state was here, everyone would still have some confidence! But now that the head of state is not here, you are all scared. The fear of the British has prevailed, right?"
"I believe that once the real bloody battle begins, there will definitely be surrender factions among the Chinese... Haha, of course, these people will not say that they are surrender factions, they will only say that things are urgent, and they will call themselves peace negotiation factions. !”
"How to negotiate for peace? Why don't we surrender to the British and export our interests to satisfy the appetite of the foreign devils?"
"This kind of concession will happen again the first time! In the end, there will be no retreat!"
King Shang Tai suddenly took out a small ornament from his pocket. No one present knew it. When the gadget was placed on the table, people realized that it looked like a lion!
"The Sphinx! This is a cultural relic from ancient Egypt. When I went to the Nile River for archaeology, I saw the huge one under the pyramid, and this one was found in an ancient tomb in Upper Egypt!"
"That time was very fruitful. I brought back four mummies, 289 cultural relics, large and small, and the entire dismantled murals covered an area of more than 500 square meters..."
"This little sphinx was actually a kind of god in ancient Egypt, called the Sphinx!"
"I brought this to you today, why? I want to tell you that the history of this thing is at least five or six thousand years ago!"
"Ah!" Everyone exclaimed, "So long ago? It can't be, right?"
"Why not? The ancient Egyptian civilization originated earlier than our Chinese civilization. When they built the pyramids, we had not yet entered the Xia Dynasty!"
"But such a long-established civilization has disappeared now! This civilization has completely ceased to exist!"
"The people living in Egypt today actually have little to do with that ancient civilization!"
"When I dug up those graves, the local laborers we hired showed no emotion at all. They didn't think that the corpses of these ancient people had any emotional connection with them!"
"I took away so many cultural relics, but the indigenous people just looked at them with numb and empty eyes. Only the gifts of grain, cloth, sugar, tea and other things we gave them could make them smile!"
"Yes! Just for this gift, they can be our guides and find these ancient tombs in the desert that have been covered in dust for five or six thousand years!"
"Are these people really not related by blood to the people of ancient Egypt? It shouldn't be the case. With such a long civilization in ancient Egypt, it's impossible for everyone to die overnight, right?"
"They are actually the descendants of the ancient Egyptians, but their civilization is extinct! Writing, language, religion, and even living habits have all been extinct!"
"This is the scariest thing!"
"You should know what I want to say at this moment! Yes, I am talking about the future of the ancient country of Ryukyu. What is the foundation of our country's existence?"
"There is only one, and that is the Chinese civilization that the head of state has always advocated!"
"Our civilization did not come from the West, nor was it sent by the Fusang Japs. Our civilization came from the Han, Tang, Song and Ming dynasties. It is mainland China!"
"Our Guozuo was also granted the title by Ming Taizu himself! It has not been exterminated to this day!"
"And at the moment when our Ryukyu life was at stake, we did not let the Fuso Japs eat us. God sent a head of state to save our country, and it was also because we never forgot our original intention until our death!"
"I thought we never abandoned China from beginning to end, so China didn't abandon us either!"
"What's wrong with our elementary school? Although our country, Ryukyu, is small, we have a lot of backbone!"
"When the Shimadzu family bullied us so much, we didn't betray China! Are we going to kowtow to the British devils today?"
"Don't forget your ancestors! Don't forget your roots!"
"I have decided! I will see the prince tomorrow. There are some things that should be made clear! If we in Ryukyu are a faction, then our choice is to unite around the prince and assist him to firmly implement the strategy of the head of state!"
"I have made a decision! What about you?"
When the words came to this, all the old ministers present fell to their knees, "I will follow you to the death!"
King Shangtai kept his promise. The next day he went to the Headquarters to find Fu Yin'er. No one in the entire Headquarters dared to stop King Shangtai!
According to the Chinese code system, King Shangtai's current title is the highest among the six nobles and eighteen grades, and his title is even higher than Xiao Letian!
It's just that he has no real power. When King Shangtai comes, even Fu Yin'er has to bow respectfully first!
The sudden visit of King Shangtai alarmed the two ladies. Even Huniu, who had been living in seclusion with a big belly, came out to meet King Shangtai. The second lady Huniu had to come to welcome him in person!
When King Shangtai saw the two ladies coming out, he did not dare to neglect and quickly saluted with the disciple's salute: "Two mistresses, what a shame on the little king! How dare you come out to greet the mistress? What a shame, what a shame..."
"Quickly...bring in the gift that Xiao Wang gave to Master...Master, please don't get winded. These tonics are the best selected by the disciples. Please accept them!"
Fuhui held herself up and chatted with King Shangtai for ten minutes before she was exhausted. "I'm so sorry. I'm so heavy that I won't stay with you for much longer!"
"Please, Master Mother!" King Shangtai quickly stood up and saluted. "Master Mother is due in October? At that time, Xiao Wang will send the best Wen Po to take care of Master Mother!"
"I'm interested...sit down!" Fu Hui turned and left.
