Yang Zhi was like a dream today, since he came out of the barracks in Xishan and followed Prince Gong's guards all the way into the city, his heart was already boiling.

He had been to Beijing once before, and that was when Xiao Letian was writing books in Beijing, and Xiao Letian did not have the prestige he has now, so naturally his younger brother did not have much oil and water.

At that time, Yang Zhi's favorite thing was to visit the overpass, Dashilar and various small alleys in Sijiu City, he couldn't afford to eat in the big restaurant, but the affordable Ermeat Shop was okay to eat more than a dozen times with his monthly salary.

However, Yang Zhi's favorite place to go is in the sheep market and beef bay on Xidan Pailou Street, where he can eat a barbecue with half a catty of roasted pot wine, which is called a beauty.

After he was full of wine and food, he walked all the way along West Chang'an Avenue, do you think he really digested the food? Wrong, he actually just stood here to see the scenery of the Forbidden City.

There were no high-rise buildings in the Qing Dynasty, and the royal rule was that the private houses could not be higher than the Taihe Palace, so the Forbidden City was definitely the tallest and most magnificent building in the Sijiu City.

Walking forward, passing the Shuangta Temple, Liubukou, and Huizi Camp, at this time, people can even see javelin-like soldiers on the city wall, and various banners hunting, and the royal majesty is coming.

However, after walking to the General Administration Department and seeing the three gates in front of the West Chang'an Gate, Yang Zhi had to stop, because it was already a forbidden place for the common people, and who dared to run in front of Tiananmen Square if there was nothing to do.

It was at that time that Yang Zhi planted a very secret seed in his heart, all the things in the first half of his life were overthrown, and he felt that the first half of his life was a farce.

Born in a family of extremely poor ordinary people, they rebelled with the Heavenly King, and before they could enjoy the happiness after breaking the city of Nanjing, they were selected by the Northern Expeditionary Army, and they went all the way north to Tianjin before they were completely defeated.

Then there is the career of bandits in Taihang Mountain, although he does not worry about eating and drinking, but he has never seen the real rich scene.

It wasn't until he came to Beijing and saw what the real princes and ministers were, what a prosperous city was, and what the imperial authority was strict, that he understood that the kingdom of heaven that the king of heaven was actually a joke.

The Manchu people inherited a lot of court heritage of the former Ming Dynasty, and the Beijing imperial culture and Beijing scene accumulated in the Ming and Qing dynasties, where can a dilapidated Tianwang's mansion in Nanjing be compared?

High-ranking officials and dignitaries walked on the street in eight sedan chairs, and the house slave guards were eager to clean the streets in advance. The red belts riding tall horses with unruly faces on horseback, eagles, flowers and willows, do not need to do a little work in their lives, and are born with a lifetime of wealth and wealth.

Tea houses, wine shops, opera gardens...... The wealthy businessmen and gentlemen who held the horns rewarded the silver horns and coppers and threw them on the field like rain. Even the prostitutes in the Bada Hutong who fought for a Qinglou fan made Yang Zhi greedy.

This is life! Lao Tzu was alive for half his life before, I worked hard for his mother's Hong Xiuquan all my life, and in the end I didn't get anything good, and I also fell into the reputation of a traitor, what am I trying to do?

Doubt made him walk into a psychological spiral of self-denial, and the old values collapsed, and at that moment Xiao Letian's Western studies and his dreams actually did not really fill the gap in Yang Zhi's mind, and at that moment thousands of years of hierarchical social welfare made a comeback, once again controlling Yang Zhi's confused heart.

Later, in the Ryukyus, Yang Zhi slowly became rich, why he married several concubines, and why he desperately enjoyed it, in fact, it was closely related to this period.

In Yang Zhi's ideal, I have the skill of the dragon, I carry my head and work with you Xiao Letian until now, it is time to reward the meritorious deeds, right?

But the reality disappointed him, not only did Xiao Lotian not reward him for his merits, he even refused to replace King Shangtai of the Ryukyus, how many seats can the prime minister of a small feudal state provide for his subordinates?

What's more, Xiao Letian's Western studies have been instilling a spirit of equality and fraternity, which makes Yang Zhi very disgusted. He also has his own reasoning, why is everyone equal?

We went with our heads and played with our lives, and then we killed so many brothers, and we were all wounded, and finally you came to a sentence that everyone is equal, and it was over? Those ordinary people who had no strength, those prisoners who were defeated and surrendered, can easily share the dividends of our hard work?

Do I lack the heart and eyes? We throw away our heads and spill our blood to fight the country, and these rights will be distributed to others in vain at that time? Aren't you, Xiao Letian, purely advocating getting something for nothing? Once this kind of trend arises, who will give it in the future? If you die in vain, you will die in vain, and if you are injured, you will be sent away with a little money?

Your grandma, I won't serve you anymore!

Just when Yang Zhi was thinking wildly, he suddenly heard a snapping sound in his ears: "You slave! How dare you not answer when Lafayette asks?"

Yang Zhi was frightened and suddenly fell to the ground from the embroidery pier, and he knelt on the ground, "Lafayette, the prince is angry, the slave enters the palace for the first time, the majesty here is too great, the slave I was shocked and my heart trembled, and I lost my temper for a while, I lost my temper!"

Maybe it was Yang Zhi's trembling appearance that made people feel inexplicably happy, or maybe it was because she was in a good mood when she saw the new money, Cixi really didn't get angry, but asked meaningfully, "Is the majesty in the palace great?" You are also an old man with Xiao Letian, you should have seen a lot of the world overseas, why are you making such a fuss?"

"Tell me about the mourning family, what do you think of Xiao Letian? What do you think of our country's dynasty? To be honest, the mourning family doesn't want to listen to clichés......

Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared, Yang Zhi is greedy for money and lustful but not stupid, he knows that the great opportunity is already in front of him, and if he catches it, he may be able to take a step forward, and if he can't catch it, it is estimated that the second half of the generation is a goods that looks at the printing press.

Thinking of this, Yang Zhi's heart was horizontal, and he secretly said, "People don't destroy the heavens and the earth for themselves, Xiao Letian, Xiao Letian, if you want to be a saint, you can be, I don't want to, I want to be a master, so that slaves and maids are my dreams......"

Yang Zhimeng kowtowed his head and said loudly, "Lafayette, all the princes...... With the knowledge of the minion, then Xiao Letian will definitely be defeated, and the dynasty will win!"

"Oh, you've said enough, you have to tell a reason, if the truth can convince us, of course, your reward is indispensable, if you can't say anything...... Beware, it's a sin of lying a lie!"

Yang Zhi gritted his back molars and said, "Queen Mother Mingjian, the slave put the words here, if he Xiao Lotian continues to insist on going his own way, there will be more and more defectors like me in the Ryukyus, let's wait to welcome talents in the Qing Dynasty!"
