1070 Divine Grant of Monarchy?

Xiao Lotian stood in the center of the hall, looking around at the hundreds of officials and guests from all directions, his face sinking like water.

"People's hearts sometimes want to bask in the sun, and if you always cover the lid, it will inevitably become moldy and fluffy......," Xiao Letian said with a smile pointing to the Ming Topaz Ring and Zaichun's holy decree.

"If you can give me such a gift, it means that many people have grown hair in their hearts, right?"

King Shang Tai was already in cold sweat on his back, his eyes did not dare to meet Xiao Letian, opening his heart to bask in the sun is sometimes a terrible thing, and at this moment Xiao Lotian is the sun in the crowd.

"Shantai, you're afraid of me?"

King Shangtai nodded subconsciously, and quickly shook his head, his face became whiter and paler. Xiao Letian patted him on the shoulder and reassured, "What are you thinking in your heart, I know very well and boldly say it, how do you know what you want if you don't say it?

King Sangtai used all his courage to finally speak, "Cheng...... In fact, I understand that in this great era, sooner or later, my small country will end up being annexed by others, either Japan or Xiyi, or the Great Qing Kingdom, or it may be your ......."

King Sangtai completely let it go, "This country is saved by the prime minister, as long as the prime minister opens his mouth, he will take it...... I only hope that the ancestral hall incense of the Shang family can be preserved, and don't let the Shang family, which has been inherited for 500 years, be wiped out...... Woo woo!" Speaking of this, King Shangtai hid his face and cried bitterly, and countless Ryukyu ministers also shed tears.

"Hey......" Xiao Letian sighed, "You finally said this, is it much more comfortable to say it?" The feeling of basking in the sun began to sting a little, but the stinging was very refreshing in the past!"

"Have you not understood the meaning of my Chinese decree until now? I have already made it very clear at the beginning, this is the basic constitution that the future Chinese-controlled country will believe in! This is a supreme law that surpasses the imperial power, and it binds not only you, but also me!"

"Now that you have figured it out, if the Chinese decree is supported and executed by all the people in the Ryukyus, then King Shangtai will be canonized by the Chinese decree again, and no one else can grab the throne of yours? Don't forget, even I, Xiao Letian, have to abide by the Chinese decree, and I am also bound by this decree!"

In the crowd, the Prussian envoy Jonas exclaimed: "Constitutional monarchy! Your Excellency wants to be the first in East Asia to introduce a constitutional monarchy?" Sure enough, the wind can enter, the rain can enter, but the king cannot enter, and even the king must bow his head before the constitution, and it is indeed a constitutional monarchy!"

Xiao Letian waved his hand, "You are only partially right, in the land of Asia, if we want to carry out a constitutional monarchy, we still have many difficulties to overcome, and this first difficulty is the monarchy that Asians have believed in for thousands of years!"

"Emperor, Emperor, the noblest profession in the history of mankind, the pinnacle of power, and the ultimate representative of centralized power, in China the emperor is appointed by heaven, known as the Son of Heaven! In Europe, the emperor is appointed by the pope, and is the administrator sent by God on earth......

"Both the East and the West have painted the emperor with a deep mythological color......" Pastor Lewis shrugged his shoulders and smiled apologetically, "but the Western world was fortunate to usher in the Renaissance and the French Revolution, and the impact of ideology again and again finally crushed the mysterious aura of the emperor!"

"Now there are tsars in Europe, there are French emperors, but their authority is long gone, and the empire on which the sun never sets until now only retains a prince, that is, the king and the queen, and I have never heard of an emperor and an empress in England...... But the absence of an emperor does not affect Britain from becoming an empire on which the sun never sets!"

"The elites of the West are very smart, they took the lead in abandoning the decadent idea of divine monarchy, and the chains that pressed on the people were loosened a lot at once, although they were not completely released, but at least they have been in the forefront of other countries, which is the fundamental reason why Western civilization has been advancing rapidly in the past three or four hundred years!"

"Loosen the shackles on people's hearts, and let creativity and productivity blow out!"

Xiao Letian made a very aggrieved expression, and opened his palms with his hands, "Look at your eyes just now, and King Shangtai's mournful appearance...... I know, at the moment when you just listened to that paragraph, you didn't realize that the Chinese Decree also constrained me, and you subconsciously thought that I, Xiao Letian, wanted to mythologize myself and engage in a farce of divine authority of the monarchy, right?"

"Hahaha...... As long as you Shang Tai is canonized in front of the Chinese order, then your prince will be recognized by all the Chinese people in the world, can I, Xiao Letian, still overthrow you? Isn't overthrowing you my own Chinese order?"

Bang Bang Bang ...... Xiao Lotian gently patted King Shangtai's face, "Silly boy, do you understand this time?"

"Father Shang......" A wolf-like cry, King Shangtai knelt in front of Xiao Letian, followed by all the old ministers of the Ryukyus knelt down, they finally understood what the Chinese order was, this was their biggest life amulet!

"I understand, Father Shang, I understand! One day when there is a Chinese order, my position is firm, and without the Chinese order, I am duckweed in the wind! Father Shang, I was wrong...... Woooooooo

This crying moved everyone present, and everyone looked at Xiao Letian with the wrong eyes, especially Xiao Letian's descendants, they licked their lips and had a question mark in their hearts: "Don't want Ryukyu, don't want Ryukyu? What does the prime minister want!"

Xiao Letian turned his head and looked at Zaichun: "Child, do you understand? I very much agree with what you said just now, you said that in the Qing Dynasty, there are hundreds of millions of people who still believe in the Son of Heaven and believe in the power of the monarch! These people who believe in you are the foundation of your rule!"

"King Shang Tai has found his life amulet, that is, the Chinese who believe in the Chinese order! And you love Xinjue Luo Zaichun, have you found a life talisman for you Manchurians? Have you ever wondered who should canonize your throne? Your ancestors? Or is it the ethereal sky?"

"The Ming Dynasty collapsed! The Manchurians entered the pass and relied on the bow and horse of the Eight Banners to shoot the world, not so much that you were ordered by the heavens, but that you were ordered by the sword! Fortunately, you were a little smarter than the Mongols, and you knew how to respect Confucianism and Taoism, and as a result, Confucianism canonized you once with the idea of monarchy and heaven, and this is your Zhengshuo!"

"Son, think about it! In this era of great progress, people's hearts are changing dramatically, will the number of people who believe in the power of the monarch increase in the future?

"You say that the Chinese order is a threat? I think it is even more of a spur to you! I made it very clear in the Chinese order that the Chinese will never use coercive means to let people join, and we will only approve it if you take the initiative to apply, and we will recognize your identity as a Chinese only if we meet our conditions!"

"What are you afraid of? If you are doing better than me, if you are better than the Chinese Council, and the people are living better under your rule than under the Chinese Council, then what are you worried about?"

"Aren't the people all taking the initiative to run towards a happy life? Joining the Chinese people is not as good as the Qing Dynasty, do you think they will still join the Chinese people?"

"So, whether there is a Chinese order or not has no effect on you at all, as long as there are hundreds of millions of people who believe in the divine power of the monarch, then you are still their emperor!"
