Volume VIII 1084 Oath!
Next chapter
What does it feel like to take off your pants and fart? What Xiao Letian is doing now is a typical fart when she takes off her pants! Obviously, the entire Ryukyu important ministers have already recognized the Chinese Order, and whether it is Xiao Letian's single-handed descendants or the forces of King Shangtai, who have been protected by the Chinese Order, they are all extremely excited and ready to accept this almost perfect system.
It's not that there are no people who oppose it, Tongzhi Emperor Zaichun and Qing Sanye and others don't agree with this bullshit Chinese order, and those envoys from other countries who come to watch the ceremony are also vigilant about this system.
But what's the use of being vigilant, they are just VIPs watching the ceremony, and they are not Ryukyu subjects, so they naturally have no right to vote.
In fact, even if more than sixty percent of the people oppose it, Xiao Letian can still forcibly pass this decree with the coercion of the new army, because no matter what era, the army is always the most effective means to control the regime.
Obviously, there is no resistance, but Xiao Letian has to take off his pants and fart to engage in such a voting process, many people don't understand but don't understand it, but they have to implement it.
Many years later, Xiao Lotian once wrote in his memoirs that taking off his pants and farting seems to be a superfluous move, but looking at the problem from another angle, at least the smell will not stain his clothes if he takes off his pants and then farts.
What is clothing? Clothing is the façade of a political power, the fig leaf of the system, and the first impression that various ethnic groups see when they compete with each other.
The Chinese Code is indeed a very fitting and comfortable little padded jacket for the Chinese people, but we not only need the comfort of this small padded jacket, but sometimes we also have to pay attention to the bright appearance of this padded jacket!
I, Xiao Letian, pretended to be imposing, the purpose was not to want the smell of fart to be stained on the clothes, and finally let other ethnic groups point fingers behind their backs and laugh at the fact that the first code in the history of our Chinese people was not clean when it was released.
With such a formal voting and oath-taking ceremony, at least we will have an explanation of history to future generations, and this explanation will make the Chinese code more popular with the people.
The Prime Minister's order, understand to carry out, if you don't understand, then deepen your understanding in the implementation! King Shangtai was the first to walk to the middle of the main hall, the red sandalwood table was placed on the Wen Jiàn, and the surrounding silver candlesticks lit dozens of candles The main hall was bright.
"King Shotai of the Ryukyus, I swear to the Ryukyu Code by the blood of my ancestors that I voluntarily join the Chinese people, accept the constraints of the Chinese Decree, enjoy the powers conferred by the Chinese Decree, and obey the Chinese Decree as the fundamental constitutional ...... of the Chinese Nation."
Xiao Lotian nodded, and naturally there were attendants next to him who recorded this ** scene with a camera, followed by those high-ranking Ryukyu officials around King Shangtai, although these people are not as powerful as the officials under the Prime Minister's curtain, but their status is high!
The relatives of King Shangtai, the old ministers of the Ryukyus, walked up to the Chinese order one by one, and swore an oath according to the text of the text! Maybe they didn't think of any Chinese glory at that moment, but they were at least sure of one thing.
"The prime minister has finally made a promise, there is finally a rule, and the hanging heart has finally landed!" The worries that the Ryukyu ministers had been worried about for several years finally disappeared at this moment.
In fact, King Shangtai had already figured out that he had long been unable to get back the power of the Ryukyus, and from the moment when the prime minister raised his power in Europa and fought against the Manchu Dynasty, King Shangtai knew that his father and Shangtai were not first-class opponents at all.
And when King Shang Tai studied Western studies more and more, he realized how arrogant his ideals were when he was a child.
Any powerful country in the world has a large population, resources, science and technology, a strong army and an advanced system, while the Ryukyus are too small, the population is not much, and there are no strategic resources, and the powerful army is in the hands of the prime minister, and science and technology can only rely on the handouts of others.
The only way to end up in the future of such a weak country is to be annexed, the only difference is the method of annexation, an annexation like Shangfu is simply a jackpot, being able to retain his throne, being able to provide protection, and the temple can be maintained, if this is not satisfied, it will be retributed.
King Shang Tai withdrew from the stage of history at this moment, but in a sense he was a phoenix nirvana, after the official implementation of the Chinese code, King Shang Tai left all his baggage and went into battle lightly with more than 20 retinues, traveling around the world as a prince.
He spent several years as an auditor at Oxford and Cambridge universities in England, taught Asian aristocratic etiquette at Harvard University for half a year, invested in gold mines in Alaska, and ate raw fish with Eskimos in Canada.
He is seen in the Temple of the Sun in the jungles of South America, and in the Egyptian tombs on the banks of the Nile!
King Shang Tai eventually became a very famous Chinese sinologist, East Asian historian, traveler, explorer, and gourmet...... He published dozens of best-selling books in his lifetime, which were regarded as classics by the academic circles of various countries, but throughout his life, Shang Tai never wrote a single book about politics, and he did not even mention the topic.
On Shang Tai's 80th birthday, a Western reporter once asked this question, at that time Xiao Lotian was already gone, Shang Tai cried with tears, "With Shang's father, how dare I, a son, compare, Shang's father is like the sun in the sky, I am just a humble firefly, how dare I speak, what qualifications do I have to speak!"
In the end, King Shangtai didn't dare to complain to Xiao Letian, on the contrary, the more Shangtai remembered Shang's father in his later years, because he knew very well that without the prime minister's Chinese code, it would be impossible for him to have such a blessing.
After the Ryukyu monarchs and ministers took the oath, the large and small ministers in the prime minister's shogunate also lined up to start taking the oath, and the four heavenly kings took the lead, and then the dragon lord, Chun Sanniang and others also stepped forward to take the oath, and soon the number of people who took the oath exceeded sixty percent.
The Ryukyu Ordinance finally came into effect, and from this moment on, this is the fundamental constitution of the Chinese people, and all subordinate codes that have been extended since the Ryukyu Code must follow the spirit of this fundamental constitution that cannot be violated.
The code came into effect, but the ceremony did not take effect, and the oath continued, and by the time the Ryukyu officials had taken the oath en masse, it was already 10 o'clock in the evening.
Everyone forgot about hunger, thirst and tiredness, and everyone's eyes emitted all kinds of strange lights, and at the moment when Xiao Lotian was about to announce the end of the oath, suddenly a voice came from the VIP seat.
"Can I take an oath? Prime Minister, you can't do without me......" People turned their heads to see that it was actually the cattle shopkeeper of the Four Seas Commercial Company who shouted out.
The shopkeeper of the cow blushed all over his face, and he boldly said: "This is not fair, why are all the officials who take the oath? Are we businessmen abandoned? What about craftsmen? Isn't Tanggu under the rule of the prime minister?"
"Cow shopkeeper! Tanggu ...... Tanggu is under the rule of the Great Qing Kingdom, and your identity is a Qing Dynasty!" Xiao Letian asked rhetorically.
"What about dual nationality? Don't you recognize dual nationality, sir, don't bully me, old cow doesn't understand the law, you said before that Ryukyu recognizes dual nationality! Why don't you want us to ......?"
Xiao Lotian smiled bitterly and shook his head, "After the promulgation of the Chinese Code, the Provisional Noble Council and the Citizens' Council will be organized within ten days, and only when the Citizens' Council is officially established, can you have a place to submit your application! Don't worry, wait patiently for a few days!"
"No!" the shopkeeper yelled, "Why should we wait! We can't wait for a day! At such a glorious moment, since I am here, I will never give up this opportunity wènhttp://mnet!"
