"My responsibility...... My responsibility...... This is my responsibility!" Emperor Tongzhi was rummaging back and forth on the bed in the middle of the night, muttering all this sentence in his mouth, and today's oath-taking ceremony of the benevolent people made him extremely shocked.

"Why has no one ever said these things to me? The queen mother always taught me how to balance the court situation, how to put the black pot on the hostile faction, in her mouth, the emperor will never be wrong, only the ministers and the people are wrong......

"Is this really the case? Grandpa Huang did not fight the British, so there was the first Opium War...... Yes, the master was willing to use this term to replace the Sino-British War...... Then my father was also defeated at the hands of the British and French forces, is it all the fault of the courtiers?"

"The emperor shirked the responsibility to the Minister of Military Aircraft, and the Minister of Military Aircraft passed it on to the general who commanded the army, and then the general passed it on to the civilian officials, and the civilian officials passed it on to the generals, and finally pushed it back and forth to the heads of the soldiers and grass people......"

"If you lose the battle, the soldiers don't need to die, and the grass people are ignorant and insensitive?

"Why, why, why! Why do you always see completely different things from the master, and hear completely different truths, which is what the emperor should learn?"

The children of the royal family, especially the emperor, have too many things to endure, and ten-year-old children have to analyze these profound truths that even adults can't understand, but there is no way, this is their fate.

Since ancient times, kings have been more or less mentally ill or eccentric, and the reason for this is because the profession of emperor is too perverted.

The little emperor couldn't fall asleep tossing and turning on the bed, and soon alarmed Ermao and a few other little eunuchs who were waiting outside, and they walked into the house and whispered, "Your Majesty hasn't slept yet, isn't it uncomfortable? Do you want to let Shuri Castle pass the imperial doctor?"

"It's okay, no need, the more you care about me, the faster my identity will be revealed, and I want to experience more of ordinary people's lives......"

Ermao knew that the little emperor had something in his heart, so he waved his hand to let the other little eunuchs retreat, and Ermao, who was equivalent to half a slave and half a friend, sat next to Emperor Tongzhi.

"Ermao, are you saying that the prime minister is right, or is my mother and the masters in the Forbidden City right?" Ermao whispered his doubts.

After listening to Emperor Tongzhi's heart, Ermao knew that after the oath of Shuri Fort was over today, Emperor Tongzhi had been sullen, and even the banquet in Shuri Castle was listless.

But Ermao can't answer this question, this question is too deep, but in Ermao's heart, what his father-in-law said must be all right.

"I can't answer His Majesty's question, but the prime minister once said something a long time ago, he said that all the emperors who founded the country were heroic lords with great courage and responsibility, and they may not be very scheming but very judgmental......"

"Strategy, such a thing, depends on talent and learning, but good judgment depends on the character of the monarch. Since ancient times, whoever makes a decision must have responsibility, and if he succeeds, he will share the biggest dividends, and if he fails, he will have to bear the most responsibility......"

"It's like the thirteen pairs of armor of the national dynasty raised troops, and the southern and northern wars for many years were actually the British lords who gave orders and made decisions with their responsibilities on their backs, and became a country, and if they were defeated, of course they would be killed, and the clan would be destroyed!"

"But with the passing of the founding hero, the future generations of kings have gradually changed, the family is big, the big business is always to make a big decision, and everyone is happy to win, but once it is defeated, it will be a catastrophe forever...... Therefore, the monarch who keeps the success rarely takes responsibility, they use more stratagem, use the emperor's mind to balance the court situation, and like to build momentum in advance and use all kinds of small means to force the court to make decrees that echo his wishes......"

Ermao shrugged his shoulders, "In the end, the prime minister also said that when a dynasty is old, the various forces in the court are already intertwined, and even the emperor does not dare to act arbitrarily, at this time, he can't even build momentum, and he can't be smart......"

"In the end, it can only be reduced to using the name of righteousness to provoke infighting between various factions in the court, and only when the courtiers fight to the death, can the imperial power continue to survive......

"Your Majesty, what kind of emperor do you want to be, on the one hand, depends on your own wishes, and on the other hand, it also depends on the situation in the imperial court, and this is not a problem that you can solve without sleeping...... You better go to bed early!"

Ermao didn't know if he could persuade the little emperor with his words, but he had tried his best, and it was not enough for people's thoughts to be persuaded by others alone, so they still had to have an epiphany by themselves.

When Ermao left the room, Emperor Tongzhi on the bed was still muttering, "Pioneering, keeping, declining...... Is the Qing Dynasty now considered to be a succession or a decline......"

"Responsibility...... Liability...... Responsibility......" With a belly of doubt, the little emperor finally fell asleep.

……

The sound of the waves in the distance was faintly heard, and the chirping of seagulls in the sky woke up the sleeping Emperor Tongzhi, and when he opened his eyes, there was already a round of red sun outside the window.

Emperor Tongzhi was wearing silk pajamas, pushed open the window and watched the red sun rise, listening to the password of the new army changing the guard outside the Prime Minister's Mansion, he couldn't help but read the "Young China Theory" that he had just learned yesterday...... The wisdom of the youth is the wisdom of the country, the wealth of the youth is the wealth of the country, the strength of the youth is the strength of the country, the independence of the youth is the independence of the country, the freedom of the youth is the freedom of the country, the progress of the youth is the progress of the country, the youth is better than Europe, the country is better than Europe, the youth is stronger than the earth, the country is stronger than the earth. The red sun is rising, and its path is bright. The river flows out of the subterranean and flows into the ocean. The hidden dragon soars into the abyss, and the scales and claws are flying. The milk tiger roars in the valley, and the beasts are terrified. The falcon tried its wings, and the wind and dust were blowing. The first child of a strange flower, the emperor. The cadres will be hairy, and there will be a man. The sky wears its blue, and the earth wears its yellow. Through the ages, there are eight wildernesses. The future is like the sea, and the future is long. I am a young China, and I am never old with the sky! I am a Chinese boy, and there is no boundary with the country!"

The immature voice was full of confidence, and the little emperor who was reciting it clearly felt that his heart had been sublimated, thinking back to the entanglement of last night, and recalling the words of the master retold by Ermao, he suddenly had an epiphany.

What's wrong with me? I'm just a ten-year-old child, why am I so depressed? If the Qing Dynasty can't even cheer me up, then can this court still be saved?

The Prime Minister is right, from now on I can only point to my own heart, and the responsibility of the empire is on my shoulders, and no one else.

I will no longer complain about the failures of my fathers, nor will I be angry at the corruption and incompetence of my ministers, nor will I blame the people for their innumbness.

"Change starts with me...... Responsibility starts with me......"

"Master...... It's my responsibility, and I have my responsibility......"

That morning, the four guards and the four eunuchs who accompanied the little emperor were all stunned, and these carefully selected guards and eunuchs from the Forbidden City watched the unusually unusually His Majesty fall to the ground one by one and wept in pain.

The four guards are Ma Ming, Duncheng, Bai Min, and Guan Lu, all of whom have been trained by their ancestors themselves, and they are all extremely loyal to the emperor, and their kung fu is very good.

The four eunuchs are Ermao, Man Shun, Da Sixi, and Xiao Sixi, all of whom are carefully selected and careful people in the Forbidden City, and their net worth and lives are tied to the little emperor.

The little emperor is really crazy, he actually dresses himself, although the movements are very clumsy and the buttons are always wrong, but he doesn't let others interfere.

"Go away...... From today onwards, I will take care of my own life, I will wear my own shoes and pass clothes, I will take a bath by myself, I will not allow you to wipe my buttocks, and I will not need you to accompany me in the bath......"

"I want to be an independent person, I don't want to be a waste, if I can't even take on the responsibility of my own life, what else do you think I can do? Can I still shoulder this empire...... Go away, go away, don't delay me washing my face and brushing my teeth!"

Except for Ermao, who was in the middle of the four guards and the four eunuchs, with a calm expression and an indifferent face, the others were crazy, "Your Majesty, are you going to abandon us?" You are the Son of Heaven, how can you handle such a shitty thing, let me do it...... Let the minions come!"

The guards and eunuchs rushed up from the ground, helping the little emperor to tie the buttons and wiping the emperor's face with a towel. Emperor Tongzhi raised his feet and kicked it, but how could his little strength be the opponent of the guards trained by the ancestors.

"Let go of me! you let go of me...... Let me do it myself!"

"Oh my majesty, just sit still, can't the slave serve you......"

There was chaos and noise, and the soldiers standing guard outside the small courtyard all pricked up their ears to listen, and at this time, Xiao Letian came over with a blue face, and the sentry hurriedly stood guard in fright.

"That's enough......! What is the trouble in the morning?" Xiao Letian roared, and there was a dead silence in the room, and the eunuchs and guards didn't dare to rap, so they quickly let go of the little emperor and stood on both sides.

Xiao Lotian roughly guessed what was going on, and he said coldly to Emperor Tongzhi, "Do you want to be self-reliant? Do you want to learn to take responsibility? Well, yes, it's a man, but let me ask you, how long can you last?"

The little emperor unbuttoned the wrong button and said with a red face, "Master, don't underestimate people, I said that I want to be self-reliant and I will stick to the end, not only that, I also want to go to live in the boarding school in Enyang Zhongli for a while, I also want to live independently like Liu Anchen and Qiu Wei."

Xiao Letian's nose is crooked, this is really born in a blessing and does not know the blessing, they are all benevolent and supportive, and they have no way to live independently, what kind of fun are you a ten-year-old child doing.

Xiao Letian leaned into his ear and whispered, "You have to think about it, many of those orphans are from the south, they are all orphans of the kingdom of heaven, if you know your identity, be careful that they seek revenge on you!"

Emperor Tongzhi's eyes lit up at once, "Ahh......h

"Okay, since you don't want to enjoy happiness and have to suffer crimes, then the master will fulfill you, immediately have breakfast and turn around Long Ye to send you to the training camp for international students, where military training is taking place, I will let you know what it means to be guilty......"
