There was a dead silence in the flower hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and people were all immersed in the story that Xiao Letian had just told and couldn't extricate themselves, the ice cubes in the wine glass in Luo Huo's hand had been completely melted, and half a glass of rum had been heated by the temperature of the palm.

He threw his head back and drank it all, and asked in a low voice, "What happened later......?" Is that woman dead?"

Wang Huaiyuan shook his head, "Not dead, his daughter is quite bold, and at the last moment he pushed his mother's hand, and the silver hairpin ran down his neck, bleeding a lot......"

"How so? Why is this happening? We recognize dual nationality, and we don't make them not Chinese, what are they afraid of? Why are braids and footwraps so important?"

Looking at Luo Huoxiao, who was confused, Xiao Lotian smiled bitterly and said, "Because people's hearts refuse to change!" It's ridiculous to say, in fact, the sense of security that people can feel is not because of the likes and dislikes of the environment, but because of a habit...... Yes, security is a habit!"

"Most people think that bandits are evil, they are all demons who eat people and don't spit out bones, but Long Ye once told me that most of the bandits in the Qing Dynasty were actually half-peasants and half-bandits, especially in many areas with poor mountains and bad waters, and being a bandit is a part-time ...... for the locals."

"What does a cottage look like in the mountains? In fact, it is not as terrible as people think, it is an ordinary village, and the life of the insiders is no different from ordinary people......

"The cottage is also composed of small families, there are farmland, livestock, people also have weddings and funerals, and people also abide by the traditional rules of thousands of years, do you say that the women and children who live where they live will be afraid of the people around them?"

"On the contrary, if you change the position of a person from a different environment, the fear will naturally appear, and the caravan will pass by the bandit village, even if he pays the protection money...... And the daughter-in-law in the cottage occasionally goes down the mountain to buy something in the county seat, doesn't those county towns that are too peaceful and stable have no sense of fear for her?"

"Therefore, all the problems that the SAR is encountering now, especially the contradictions caused by these displaced people, are the biggest enemies of our cause in the future...... Yes, I never thought the Manchu soldiers were a threat, and I don't think they were a threat no matter what their new army was trained to become......"

"What is terrible is the people's hearts, and those hundreds of millions of heads controlled by traditional thinking are our greatest enemies in the future! Do you know now why I absolutely and absolutely would not fantasize about being called king and emperor? Because at least eighty percent of the people in the Qing Dynasty do not want to change ......the dynasty so far."

"They refuse to change even the little things like cutting braids and banning small feet, do you think they will accept changing a dynasty?"

With a bang, Xiao Letian slapped the table, "Can this basin of cold water make you sober? If you are sober, you will wake up the other people for me...... To repeat, what we need to do is to do everything we can to reverse the fate of China's decay, not to let ourselves be kings and emperors!"

"Agree with this ideal, stay, if you don't agree with it......" Xiao Letian rubbed his eyes in pain, "I can't get off that black hand, and I can't do a bloody internal cleansing...... Those who don't agree, let them go!"

The flower hall fell silent again, and the people in the small kitchen ten meters outside had been waiting for a long time with food boxes in their hands, but no one dared to take a step closer, as if the most terrifying core of the whole hurricane was in the glass viewing pavilion in front of them.

The first to break the silence was Xiao Hexin, a wise general known as Xiao Letian's first strategic master, and this was the first time that he said no to Xiao Letian with a clear banner.

"No...... Can the prime minister listen to me! Some words have been choked in my throat for a long time, and if I don't say anything, I will go crazy!"

"I, and everyone who sits again, are the first old people to follow the prime minister, open the skylight and say bright words, no matter what the prime minister decides, we will implement it 100%, if you don't want to be the king and the emperor, we will be a rich man with you!"

"But have you thought about the other brothers? What do the 20,000 soldiers of the New Army think? What do the tens of thousands of officials in the Prime Minister's Mansion think? What do the hundreds of thousands or millions of people who depend on our group to make a living? Can they also be as calm as you and return to their hometowns to become a rich man?"

"Prime Minister, you can't do this, you have to give the people who follow you a hope, a hope for promotion!"

"How did you analyze the Kingdom of Heaven back then? Those words can be vividly remembered, did Hong Xiuquan want to rebel from the beginning? No, at the beginning, he also wanted to take the examination for talent and raise people to take the road of the imperial examination! But he failed three times in the three examinations, and finally fell seriously ill under depression, and then his temperament changed greatly and he embarked on the road of rebellion!"

"Didn't you say that people's desires are like water, you can't stop them, and the elite talents in the world don't expect to go up, who doesn't want to have a chance to get ahead? But as long as any dynasty is old, it will get all kinds of strange diseases, and the inability of talents to effectively move upwards is the most terrible terminal disease!"

"When those outstanding talents in the private sector find that the lid on their heads is already cast in iron, and the possibility of upward mobility of talents has completely disappeared, when they know that the existing system is no longer able to give him a little chance, then there is only one last way to break this iron cover!"

"Therefore, at the end of the dynasties, it will always be natural and man-made disasters that start and produce civil unrest, and then the outstanding elites of the people take over the baton and stir up this trend until the existing dynasty is overthrown and a new order is established!"

Speaking of this, Xiao Letian grabbed the conversation: "Yes, establish a new order, and then create a new group of magnates, and then the descendants of these magnates will continue to grab resources, and then block the upward passage of the civil elites again, and then the world will be turned upside down...... Isn't this the kind of reincarnation? China hasn't played enough of this game for thousands of years? You still want to keep playing......

"Okay! If I go down according to your ideas, I Xiao Letian steps on tens of millions of bones to walk on the throne of God King, and I become an emperor like Tang Zong and Song Zu, what will happen after that?"

"How can I ensure that my children and grandchildren will remain like me, and how can you guarantee that your children and grandchildren will not form a web of iron that will be joined together and cast into a new iron lid......?"

Xiao Letian said sadly, "The gentleman's Ze is the fifth generation and beheaded! Judging from the current era of great changes, the five generations are all too much, at most the third generation, after three generations, there will be chaos, and then it will be just another reincarnation of the heavens and the earth, and all our efforts will be in vain!"

"The few breaths of vitality that we have worked so hard to renew for the Chinese civilization will be exhausted at that time! Foreign aliens will flock to our Chinese flesh and blood, insult them, colonize them, and enslave them!"

"This is the result you want!" Xiao Lotian shouted.
