Chapter 209 The Warrior and the Nation

Bao Zhanlin said: "This ...... Well, Queen Elizabeth is indeed a generation of kings! But, well, outside of England, is there still a situation in which a woman is succeeded by a woman in the kingdoms of Tessie? ”

"Why not?" "Let's take the Spain we just mentionedβ€”the current Spanish ruler is a queen, Isabella II. ”

"Huh? Also known as ...... Elizabeth? ”

"It's not 'Elizabeth,' it's 'Isabella.'"

"Oh, Elizabeth......"

Uh, well, what do you like, the name of the foreign devil......

"Before Isabella II," Bautin continued, "there was no rule of female succession in Spain, but Isabella II's father, Fernand VII, had not been able to give birth to a male child, and the king of Fei was in his twilight years, and the old and sick were invading, and the kings of all branches were staring at the throne, and seeing that once the old king died, Spain was going to stage a 'rebellion of the eight kings'!" ”

Several Hanlin were slightly shocked in their hearts.

"Fernand VII was worried, and he was a great minister. All the ministers who have become old men and seek the country have all shed their hearts and blood, and they have cried blood and said: For the sake of the country's social plan, the laws and regulations should be changed as soon as possible, the law that does not allow women to succeed to the throne should be abolished, and Princess Isabella should be passed on to eliminate the great trouble! Fernand VII deliberated on it, and finally Isabella II succeeded to the throne as requested, and Spain was finally saved from falling apart. ”

This passage is interesting - "All those who are old enough to seek the country are clothed with liver and gall and weep blood into words", that is, if you are unwilling to "put on your liver and guts and cry blood into words" - if you are unwilling to advocate the establishment of a queen, it is not "old and prosperous to seek the country".

The Hanlin looked at each other: ahem. It is also a "change with the times, change with the world".

It's a British thing. The Hanlin still know a little bit about it. As for Spain, it's a blind eye, and I don't know what the truth is. I had to believe whatever Bao Ting said.

In fact, there are many untruths in this passage of Bao Ting.

Originally, Spain, like continental Europe, practiced the "Zari Law", which forbade women from inheriting the throne. In order to ensure that the throne was in the hands of his son, Fernand VII lobbied the Diet to abolish the "Sarlie Law", and Isabella II had to succeed him. Although there are high-sounding reasons for Fernand VII's actions, they are actually selfish, not as worried about the country and the people as described by the royal court.

The point is that the Spanish version of the "Rebellion of the Eight Kings" was not avoided by the abolition of the "Sarifa by Fernand VII". On the contrary, it is precisely because he has changed the law. Holding his daughter to the throne, the male princes of the Spanish royal family were greatly dissatisfied and accused Isabella of "not taking the throne properly".

Among them, the younger brother of Fernand VII, named Don. Carlos's even thinks that this crown has fallen on his head, but in a blink of an eye, he was snatched back by his brother and put on the head of his little niece, it is really your aunt can bear it, your uncle and I can't bear it! Thus, as soon as Isabella II ascended the throne, Don. Carlos then pulled his flag and set off cannons, proclaimed himself king of Spain, called "Carlos V", and raised troops to grab his niece's throne.

This "Carlos War", which lasted for several years, was finally won by the side of Isabella II. Carlos was defeated, Isabella II consolidated power, and Spain remained united, without really turning into the "Rebellion of the Eight Kings".

What if someone knows this history and uses it to question Bautin's arguments?

It doesn't matter, we're ready: you see, it's a Don who rebels. Carlos, the other kings, didn't rebel, right? But if you don't pass the throne to Princess Isabella, it will be a situation of "Qin loses its deer, and the world chases it", and it must be the "Rebellion of the Eight Kings"!

Also, Don. What does Carlos's rebellion say about being finally crushed? This shows that the will of heaven and the will of the people are all on the side of Isabella II!

Therefore, Fernand VII changed the law and passed on his daughter, which is really a wise decision!

However, when it comes to the queen's performance after taking office, it is not easy to distinguish: as a king, Isabella II is no better than Elizabeth I, she is debaucherous and treacherous, the Spanish royal family and government, up and down, are corrupt, the political situation is endless, coups d'Γ©tat one after another, and Spain's internal affairs have been chaotic like a pot of porridge.

Isabella II succeeded to the throne in Chong Nian, and after being in power, the only weapon to deal with the chaos was to change the government - she has been in power for more than 20 years, and she has actually changed more than 30 governments!

The current regime in Spain, leaking from all sides, is suitable to inspire people's covetousness, and Guan Zhuofan is the one who is happy to see the hunt.

As mentioned above, Guan Zhuofan conspired with Prussian Minister to China Li Fusi to teach Prussia to secretly meddle in Spain's internal affairs, and released rumors of demanding the abdication of Isabella II, so as to anger the French Emperor Napoleon III, who regarded himself as the protector of Spain, and provoked the Franco-Prussian War.

This was not just to provoke Napoleon III, in fact, Guan Zhuofan really had the intention of overthrowing Isabella II and profiting from the chaos in Spain, but this is all for another time.

Even if tomorrow's me defeats today's me, it will be tomorrow's business, today's situation has been decided, tomorrow we will turn our faces and turn back, it will not hinder today's magic affairs, politics, isn't that what is going on?

It doesn't matter if someone questions Isabella II's performance today: how do you know about Jotang. When Carlos came to power, he must be more diligent and loving than Isabella II? Maybe it's worse! Besides, no matter how stupid Isabella II is, she is more divided than the country, right?

The most important thing is that if our Princess Rong'an inherits the great treasure, she will definitely follow the example of Elizabeth I, and will never learn from Isabella II!

However, these "countermeasures" will basically not come in handy, and the opposition knows that there is a country called Spain, so it will not be like Xu Tong, insisting that Spain and Portugal are all made up by the British and the French, which is good, where can they figure out the ins and outs of the internal affairs of the West?

Baoting's words, a few Hanlin didn't know how to answer, some people had the heart to refute, such as Fang Jiaxiang, and they didn't know how to speak, they were silent for a while, or Bao Zhanlin opened his mouth: "Zhupo, your arguments are enough to shock the world, this, in my humble opinion, just a few of us can chat here at will, out of this door, don't mention it again, uh, Liuzhou seniors, everyone...... What do you think? ”

Saying that, he looked at the rest of the Hanlin, which meant: Let's keep it a secret for Baozhupo!

Cheng Yi and Wang Yide both nodded and said, "That's how it should be." ”

Fang Jiaxiang snorted lightly from his nostrils, but he didn't object.

Bao Ting himself shook his head and said, "Empty discussions, what can Yu Guo make up for?" Out of this door, I will write an excerpt and ask Princess Rong'an to be the new emperor! ”

Like a summer thunderstorm, there was a "buzz" in the minds of several Hanlin, and everyone opened their mouths again and opened their eyes wide.

Bao Zhanlin's voice trembled slightly: "Zhupo, you have to think twice!" Let's not talk about whether women can succeed to the throne...... Uh, I mean, who belongs to the big position, this kind of thing, it doesn't seem to be you and me, you and me, should be put in the beak......"

What Bao Zhanlin means is that as a speech official and an official, he can only speak on the "big principles" such as whether the new emperor should "inherit the heir" and which emperor's heir should be inherited, and it is not suitable to recommend a specific candidate - it is too taboo!

"The Son of Heaven has no selfish affairs!" Bao Ting said proudly, "Since I promise myself a national soldier, the establishment of the emperor is related to the country, what should I put my beak and should not beak?" ”

paused slightly, "Besides, my surname is 'Aixin Jueluo'!" Since you have this surname, you don't dare to be outside the country! ”

Everyone else thinks: You, who love Xinjueluo, are just an idle clan, and if you discuss such a thing as an heir emperor, a serious prince may not be able to interject, let alone you Baozhupo?

Of course, it's not easy to say this.

Cheng Yi, who had not spoken, spoke: "Zhupo, a gentleman loves people with virtue, and there are some things that I can't help but say." Well, sometimes, it's too hasty, uh, love is enough to harm......"

Cheng Yi's words were very vague, but Bao Ting understood what he meant: If you do this, it may not be a good thing for the one who is promoted.

During the Kangxi Dynasty, the eighth son of the emperor Yinxi "died when he saw the light". Yinxi was elected twice, the first time was when the emperor's eldest son Yinchu played a secret performance to the Holy Ancestor, and Yinxu could succeed to the throne; The second time was Tong Guowei, Ma Qi, A Ling'a, Yu Xu, Wang Hongxu and other important ministers, united hundreds of officials, and worked together to protect Yinxu as the prince, but the result was a big hit with the jealousy of the Holy Ancestors, Yinxu sought glory and disgrace, and since then there is no possibility of winning the treasure.

"Liuzhou seniors are beautiful!" Bao Ting smiled and said, "However, as long as I say 'Emperor Wenzongxian's bloodline is not extinction', everyone will know who I am referring to - it makes no difference whether to mention the name of Princess Rong'an or not!" ”

After a slight pause, "Lin Wenzhong said, 'If the country lives and dies for profit, how can it be avoided because of misfortune'?" This sentence has always been the most appreciated by Prince Xuan, and I also regard it as a guideline! You don't have to persuade anymore! ”

A few Hanlin were shocked in their hearts again, not because of Lin Zexu's sentence "If the country lives and dies, how can it be avoided because of misfortune and fortune", but this sentence - "Prince Xuan is the most admired".

Princess Rong'an is...... Prince Xuan's blessing!

It's-

Why does Bao Ting mention "Prince Xuan" here?

Behind this, is there anything?

Bao Zhanlin said cautiously: "Zhupo, this excerpt, are you going to ...... How do you write it? ”

"How to write it?" Bao Ting said, "Write straight! What has been said today, from England to Spain, just write it all! ”

"You won't ...... Write us in too, right? ”

"Huh? No, it won't! One person does things and one person is responsible, I will never implicate the princes! ”

That's what I said, butβ€”

How "but" is useless, seeing that Baoting has made up his mind, as soon as this fold is handed over, a monstrous frenzy is about to be set off!
