Chapter 058: Self-Exile (360 votes plus change)
If it were to be replaced by another royal family, there would definitely be questions and puzzles in this case, but not in Emperor Hong's house. Although their husband is the most advocate of equality between men and women, and he never plays machismo at home, no one, including Bo Zhu, dares to say a word about business, and he doesn't even complain much.
Because Emperor Hong is a very, very ruthless person, the husband and wife who have lived with him for more than ten years cannot really integrate into his inner world. As long as his small squinted eyes turned into triangles, and his eyebrows wrinkled again, it showed that his heart was already very impatient. At this time, to complain, in exchange for only one thing, is to make him hateful. Once he hates you, then you are no different from a stranger in his eyes.
"You two have been my guards for several years, and you can't take any credit for it, will you feel a loss? To tell you the truth, I originally had a gift for you, and if you don't feel like a loss, then I'll save it. Hong Tao knew very well what Bai Xiang and Senya wanted to say, and he could even see the confused expression on Sai Fei's face, but he didn't go to comfort his family first, but chatted with the two guards behind him.
“…… Let's lose a little bit......" The two guards looked at each other for a moment, grinning and choosing to tell the truth. To tell the truth, just by being rubbed by this emperor, the two of them have to advance one or two gold coins every month. This emperor is different from others, he is very sincere in this kind of matter, if you want to say kind words, just wait for the loss.
"The two of you are not destined to be officials, you can't say two good words, and you are unlucky to go to the army. I'll give you both a suggestion, it's better to be a guard for the royal family, and I'll talk to Jin Ha and let you two stay. Don't pout, this sentence doesn't count, it's for free, don't be so careful. After a while, they came to my house, followed me into the house, and said that if there was a gift, there would be a gift. "These two guards are the first members of the Marine Corps, and they are still relatively elite, otherwise Langya would not have sent them to the emperor as personal guards. I really delayed the future of others, if it wasn't for the years spent here by myself, how could they be a lieutenant.
"These are my two dresses, Jin He can't wear them, and I can't wear them anymore, so I'll give them to you as a souvenir. Don't be stupid and take it home and put it away, you tell others that this is my clothes, who believes it, it's useless. Remove the buttons from your clothes, enough for me to rub your food money for the past few years. And it's not even a bribe, it's a gift from me. Don't look at it, the gems are real, go for it, do what you want to do. If our family wants to talk about backs, you two help me guard the courtyard door, no one is allowed to enter, even if my father-in-law comes, he is not allowed to enter, just say that I lost the throne, and I am lying in the house crying, and I have no face to see people! ”
The official position itself cannot compensate the two of them, but it can be expressed in other ways. These two sets of clothes are old and not worth a few dollars, but the buttons of the clothes are made of diamonds and red and green gems, and this thing is very valuable to the Great Song Dynasty, and it is rich to buy a big ship.
"Come, Saifei, don't avoid it, let's talk together this time, no one will hide it from anyone. Senya, after you married me, you didn't enjoy any blessings, but you didn't suffer either, did you? At least I feel in my heart that I am worthy of your mother and son. Now that I am not the emperor, you and Saifei must leave here with me, the reason is very simple, Saifei's elder brother is the emperor, and it is not appropriate for him to stay here as a younger brother. Since ancient times, the royal family has been ruthless, whether in your country or in the Great Song Dynasty, there are no exceptions. I don't want them to turn against each other in the future, and I don't want my brother to kill my brother or my brother to kill my brother. Although neither you nor Saifei are fond of politics and have never been involved in the political circles of the Empire, I still want to take you with me to be on the safe side. Let's go to live in Cape Town, if time and conditions permit, I would like to take you and Saifei back to your hometown to see, even if you can't live in your hometown, you should let your children know what his mother's hometown is like, what do you think? When the guards went out, Hong Tao first called Sai Fei over, sat next to him, and then directly said the answer, the tone was to discuss, but the content was not negotiable at all.
"I have no problem if I can follow you, all these years by your side, our mother and son are very happy, there is nothing to be dissatisfied with......" Senia is a very docile woman, and at the same time a very persistent person. She still maintained her faith, and in her room, which was almost as furnished as a convent, in addition to reading the Bible, she taught Saifei to learn various musical instruments, recite poetry, and paint, and lived a life of no contention but almost isolation under the protection of Hong Tao. Many newcomers to the empire didn't know that the emperor had such a wife of the Great Qin State.
"I'll go wherever my mother goes...... Can you draw and play the piano in Cape Town? Under the influence of Senya, Saifei is also a very literary child. He didn't like the navy, he didn't like sailing, he didn't like guns, he didn't like business, he only liked things related to music, literature, and art, and from time to time he would make a small poem and read it to Senia and Hong Tao. Of course, Hong Tao has not had many opportunities to listen to Sai Fei's poems, he is often away from home, and the four children in the family have basically grown up with their respective mothers.
"Good boy, when you grow up, you may blame me as a father, because I have deprived you of a lot of things. But it's also possible that you like me more, because I'll compensate you for a lot of new things. I promise you, if you want, I will send you to a very special university, where there are many people who like music, write poetry, and draw as much as you do, and you should be happier with them. Hong Tao felt that he was most sorry for this son, Hong Salamander and Geya were both girls, so they didn't have to worry too much about them, but they couldn't do it, even if he didn't want to, he couldn't stand someone fanning on the side.
"Baixiang, would you like to stay here, or do you want to go with me?" Compared with Senia and Saifei's mother and son, Bai Xiang and Geya Hongtao don't worry much about it. They have the big ethnic group of Li people behind them, as long as they don't die, no one can touch them. Bai Xiang is not the kind of person who dies, she loves money, but she is never greedy, and she has a clear understanding of right and wrong in her heart.
"I'm not going to Cape Town, where there are tobacco fields. Geya is the future matriarch, and she can't leave. You take Senya and Sai and fly away, and I'll have the ship bring you the money when the time comes." "As Hong Tao thought, Bai Xiang is so simple that she only has her tobacco field and her daughter's patriarch in her heart, who is Hong Tao? After having a daughter, she almost forgot about it.
"It's okay, I'm not going to go back forever, I'll come back when I have time. Don't always work hard in the field, you can't earn enough money, and you're not too young, so you should pay attention to your body. "For Bai Xiang's wife, Hong Tao has not had a few times when he can communicate with her seriously, he is not a person at all, and it is useless to say it.
Hong Tao has to do as much as he wants, as long as he thinks about it, he doesn't care what others think or thinks, if he doesn't agree, he won't agree, if he is willing to take care of me, it will be better if he is not willing to take care of me. He, the emperor of the empire, announced his abdication, he was really a spit, and no one could see him in the house, and whoever dared to break into the courtyard would really shoot.
For two months, Hong Tao basically never went out of the yard, exercised without going out to run and ride horses, and only practiced in the yard with simple equipment. Then he went into his study and wrote and drew in the middle of a large pile of books, and no one knew what he was doing.
The emperor abdicated, and there was no legal persuasion, and he didn't even see anyone. At first, the big guys did panic for a while, and from the parliament to the government to the army, they seemed to have lost their backbone. Everyone is used to having Hong Tao appear around from time to time, puffing that broken mouth and saying that you are wrong here and wrong there. But after half a month, everyone slowly found out that it really doesn't make a difference whether there is an emperor in this country or not, the parliament and the government are still fighting over the trade union law and amending the constitution, the army should be trained and trained, patrols and patrols, and the people will not eat one less bowl of rice every day because the emperor is gone.
At this time, everyone finally understood what was going on with this set of rules designed by Emperor Hong. It turns out that in this set of rules, the emperor is not an indispensable part, but it can't be said that it is not important at all, without this symbolic thing, everyone always feels that something is missing.
