625 Study Tour Controversy
"No......" A terrible roar stunned the ministers, and also stunned the little emperor who was about to shake hands with Xiao Letian, people turned their heads and found that Cixi pounced like a madman, hugged Emperor Tongzhi deadly, and looked at Xiao Letian's eyes as if he saw a ghost.
"You go away, you go away...... His Majesty is my child, no one should try to snatch him!" Cixi is already hysterical, Emperor Tongzhi is his son, and it is also the source of all his rights, without Emperor Tongzhi, her sky will fall.
Xiao Lotian had already guessed Cixi's reaction, "Queen Mother, no one will snatch your son, and no one will snatch His Majesty of the Great Qing Kingdom, I just hope that His Majesty can go out to study and travel thousands of miles......"
"Knowledge is never just a book, and life is incomplete without travel...... The Queen Mother also hopes that Her Majesty will become a generation of heroes, what can the emperor who is longer than the hands of the women of the deep palace have?"
"No...... I don't care, I don't want to listen to your nonsense, you are just a demagogic demon......" Cixi was already in tears, until now she knew Xiao Letian's horror, she was not afraid of any retaliation from Xiao Letian, she could pay as much as she wanted, she could also cut the land, and she would agree to as many concessions as she wanted.
But Xiao Letian, the demon, got the money and land is not finished, and finally stretched out his hand to her son, this is Cixi's death hole, Emperor Tongzhi is the last softness in her heart, without her son, her sky will completely collapse.
The queen mother cried, and the gang of Qingliu made even more trouble, they rushed forward and cut Xiao Lotian and the emperor with their bodies, and blocked Xiao Lotian with their chests.
"Demon, you want to take your majesty away unless we die...... Let's step on our corpses!"
"The Beijing Normal University is connected, gather all the scholars, block the four gates of the Forbidden City, and never let Xiao Lotian succeed, today is the time for us scholars to give up their lives, use our blood to make His Majesty sober!"
"Demon, get out of the Jingshi! Let your soldiers shoot, you have the ability to kill all the scholars in the world!"
The Great Dynasty Meeting has been completely out of control now, and Xiao Letian was pushed and shoved by dozens of hands from Sumeru to the entrance of the hall, until the new army showed their bayonets.
Xiao Lotian didn't fight back, he still looked at the little emperor on the Sumeru seat in the distance with a smile on his face. The reaction of these clear streams is also being cleaned up, in all fairness, Xiao Letian still admires these readers, they are guarding their own values, and what they adhere to is also a tradition of thousands of years, but it is a pity that what these people insist on has been eliminated by this era.
In any era of great social change, there is always a group of tragic old-fashioned people, either out of morality or out of interests, anyway, they just do not allow a little change in society.
This is a group of poor and pathetic old-fashioned people, who don't understand at all, or deliberately pretend not to understand, don't they really know that 'change' is the eternal and constant thing in the world?
Now Xiao Letian has been forced to the door of the main hall by the Qinglius, and there are high steps behind him, if it weren't for a row of recruits suddenly appearing behind Xiao Letian, I'm afraid he would have to be thrown out of the Taihe Palace.
The Qingliu Hanlin lined up to block the entrance of the main hall, they refused to let Xiao Letian take another step forward, and Weng Tongyi stood in front of the Sumeru seat, protecting the Queen Mother and the little emperor like an angry King Kong, at that moment he really dared to kill.
Diametrically opposed to the anger of the Qingliu people was the governor of Hanchen and the royal princes, at that moment they were strangely silent, and only careful people noticed that Ci'an, who had not spoken all this time, was warning them with his eyes.
When the chaos reached a certain point, Ci'an coughed lightly, "Okay...... There are no rules? The Great Pilgrimage Meeting is like this once a year, what is it like! Hmph......"
After a light snort, there was a dead silence in the Taihe Palace, and now Ci'an is the most powerful person in the empire, before the emperor did not have a personal government, the queen mother of the two palaces listened to the government, and the right was divided into two, and all the governance of the empire must be shared by the queen mother of the two palaces, which can take effect.
Now Cixi was stupidly instigated by someone to make such a palace change, and the power in her hands was revealed to the world, especially the military power was also stewed by Xiao Letian's new army, and Ci'an became the first person with the most power in the Qing Dynasty.
"Since it is a court meeting, it is a group of brainstorms, everyone discusses politics and makes ideas together, what is the matter with pushing and shoving? Is it that there is no reason in the Taihe Palace? Why don't you return ......to the court class?"
"The Queen Mother ......" Weng Tongyi was speechless for a while, he had already smelled the strange smell of the Queen Mother's words.
The clear streams gradually dispersed, Xiao Letian returned to the court, and he stared at Emperor Tongzhi without caring about others. The other courtiers didn't know how to speak, and the scene was cold.
Cixi hugged the emperor and looked at Ci'an pleadingly, "Sister, please say something...... The emperor can't leave the palace, he's still young, it's too dangerous outside...... There are rebellions everywhere, and the emperor is too dangerous!"
"Sister, don't be impatient, listen to what the courtiers say, there are so many ministers, many people have not expressed their position, I think everyone's eyes are bright, how can it harm Your Majesty?
Qingliu's attitude is already very clear, naturally they don't need to rap too much, and the Manchu Qing Restoration faction has long been a lackey of the Western School, Fuqing gave a look, and the remnants of the eight ministers who had just been crowned officials spoke one after another.
"Queen Mother, my lords, I think it is feasible for His Majesty to go out of the palace to study, what about the holy monarchs of our dynasty who have not gone out of the palace to inspect the people's suffering? Taizu, Holy Ancestor, Gaozu Who has not been to the people? Of course, His Majesty Longzi and Longsun cannot be left behind...... "The first opening was the newly sealed Shishan of the Ministry of Works.
"That's right, since ancient times, it has been said that reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles, Your Majesty is only ten years old this year, which is a good age to broaden your horizons, and if you experience the suffering of the people, at least you won't make a sound of not eating minced meat......" Shi Shui, who had just taken office as the commissioner of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, also jumped out.
Qing Sanye was not to be left behind, "Queen Mother, as for the worries about His Majesty's safety, there is no need to think about it, the combat effectiveness of the new army is not as good as the Europeans, how can there be a problem with such a strong army to protect His Majesty?
The reformers spoke, and then the local governors began to express their positions, and the chaotic governors agreed and opposed, but most of them agreed with the Hanchen, and those who opposed it were the Manchus.
In the end, the ninth marshal Zeng Guoquan suddenly spoke, "According to the minister's humble opinion, it is also a good thing for His Majesty to go out of the palace and travel, the emperor is the emperor of the world, and in the future, he will not only govern Confucianism, but also govern the Western students, so the knowledge on both sides should be understood......"
"The sky has changed, and the way of the world in the future is no longer something that can be done by relying on Confucianism alone, and it is really not possible not to contact Western studies. Needless to say, let's just say that the suppression of long hair, if there is no weapons and ammunition for foreigners, God knows how many years it will take...... Didn't the imperial court still want Zuo Zongtang to quell the rebellion in Gansu, Shaanxi, and Xinjiang? It is estimated that when the time comes, it will still have to rely on the ability of others to learn from the West!"
Jiu Shuai smiled and said, "The minister also said casually, I am not proficient in Western studies, but there are also foreign adults who are watching the ceremony today, why don't we listen to their opinions?"
Jiu Shuai's words have already made the final conclusion for the Han people's supervision forces, those Manchurian foreign governors are no longer the opponents of this group of Han people, and when they saw Jiu Shuai's statement, they all shrank back and stopped talking.
Ci'an nodded, and looked at the big-nosed foreigners at the end, who whispered a few words to each other, and finally withdrew from the current spokesperson of the American Minister Warren.
"Your Majesty, Queen Mother...... As a foreign minister, it is a great honor for me to have the privilege of participating in the imperial court, and since the imperial court needs our construction, then we will express our opinion to you!"
"We fully agree with the proposal of Ryukyu Prime Minister Xiao Letian and give 100% support to the topic of His Majesty's study tour......!
"In Europa, all the children of the royal family, not only the crown prince, but even the ordinary nobles have to travel around the country frequently, they have to visit the famous scholars of various countries, they have to travel to the strange world to increase their knowledge, and if necessary, they have to go through the battlefield to learn how to be a commander......"
"In Europe, the children of the royal family are all generalists, some are proficient in fencing, some are proficient in archaeology, and of course most are still proficient in political and military ......."
"To give a simple example, the great emperor of the Russians, Peter the Great, was the first emperor who led the Russians into modern civilization, and he once traveled to various European countries when he was young, and he even became an ordinary corporal incognito, leading visiting groups and secretly collecting advanced experience from other countries......"
He was a captain for the Dutch East India Company in the Netherlands, worked in British shipyards, and learned to shoot in Prussia. He visited factories, schools, museums, arsenals, and even attended a session of the British Parliament......"
"It was really because of this trip that he saw the huge gap between Russia and Britain and France, and when he ascended the throne, he immediately began to reform, eliminate a number of defects, and form a new army......
"And the current Prussia, I think Mr. Xiao Letian knows very well that the Prussian crown prince and grandson are actually educated in England, and they have all been taught by Queen Victoria...... Including the son of the current Prince Karl, the crown prince, who is now based in London, they have traveled to every country in Europe......"
Speaking of this, Hua Ruohan sighed, "The ruler of an empire must have the mind to swallow mountains and rivers, his heart must be broad enough to load the whole world, and only with a god-like perspective can he formulate the most correct national policy for a country...... I strongly ask the Imperial Court to agree to the study tour, and we in the United States are willing to hold the greatest welcome ceremony to welcome the great Qing monarch to the ......"
