Chapter 273: The Qing Dynasty Has Fallen
The candles in the imperial study were crackling, and the arm-thick candles were almost finished, and the flames were gradually dimming in the jump. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
At this time, a small eunuch outside the door seemed to have pinched the time and replaced it with another fire candle. The little emperor stared at the candle that was about to burn out silently.
Ye Shaolong was quite puzzled in his heart, looking for the little emperor to replace the prefect of the provincial capital today, it should be a matter of one sentence, but now it seems that it is not so simple.
The little emperor's expression told him that there should be something unspeakable in this, so that the little emperor needed to think about it so carefully.
It wasn't until the little eunuch silently changed the candle and quietly withdrew that the little emperor said faintly: "Maybe you don't know that the current provincial city is no longer under my control. ”
This really surprised Ye Shaolong: "How can this be? ”
Thinking that he has only been away from the provincial capital for less than three months, why is the provincial capital already out of the emperor's control?
The little emperor walked around the room with his hands behind his back and a lonely expression, and said bitterly: "The foreigners have now begun to attack on a large scale, and the current Qing Dynasty is as you said, and it may fall at any time." No matter how hard I tried, it was too late! ”
"Who appointed the current prefect of the provincial capital?" Ye Shaolong didn't give up, even if his provincial city was not under the control of the emperor, it was enough for him to replace this prefect.
"Huh!"
The little emperor learned from Ye Shaolong's example, shrugged his shoulders and said, "That is a puppet regime temporarily supported by foreigners, in order to maintain the stability of the provincial capital." It was only later that I realized that these foreigners did not come to occupy my Great Qing Kingdom at all, they came to plunder! ”
"This ......"
Ye Shaolong saw that the little emperor was depressed, and he opened his mouth to say a few words, but when the words came to his mouth, he couldn't say anything anyway.
Faced with such an ending, Ye Shaolong didn't know how to persuade him. In fact, the Qing Dynasty will perish so quickly, which has little to do with the little emperor.
It was mainly caused by the old woman, and even said that the Qing Dynasty can still maintain a little face, which is all due to the little emperor.
At least at this time, the capital was still under the control of the little emperor, and the army of foreigners had not yet been able to bleed on the heart of the Great Qing Kingdom. This is the last line of defense of the Qing Dynasty, if even the Beijing Division is defeated, then the world is so big, there is really no place for him Ye Shaolong.
The little emperor sighed for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "These are already facts, and it is useless to think about more." However, your academy has to step up its progress, and I only have this hope now, hoping that you can leave the last useful thing for the Great Qing Kingdom. ”
Ye Shaolong naturally understood what the little emperor meant, he would regard the academy as so important, it was nothing more than hoping to leave useful talents for the Great Qing Kingdom.
He was preparing for the return of the country in the future, and Ye Shaolong readily agreed to this request. Although he did not expect the little emperor to return to the country one day, as a descendant of China, he would reserve something useful for this country that has been followed for thousands of years. At least he can do it!
Nodding, Ye Shaolong promised the little emperor seriously: "Your Majesty, Xiao Xizi will do my best to do this well." ”
The little emperor smiled with satisfaction: "I believe in you, after the academy is built, I will send all the treasures in the palace to somewhere." ”
took out a piece of jade pendant from his waist, handed it to Ye Shaolong and continued: "Don't worry about the outside affairs, you can't take care of it if you want to." This is my personal belongings, seeing jade is like seeing me, if anyone dares to fight those things in the future, kill! ”
Ye Shaolong silently took the jade pendant and nodded firmly: "Xiao Xizi will definitely live up to the emperor's trust." ”
"Go, it's late at night, and I should rest!"
Ye Shaolong fell to his knees on one leg and slapped a thousand, left the imperial study without looking back, hurriedly walked out of the already deserted palace, and rushed back to Yejiabao with the iron tower.
When he returned to Yejiabao, it was already the middle of the night, but Su Can still hadn't fallen asleep, waiting for Ye Shaolong's news in his room.
I have been playing with the jade pendant given by the little emperor in my hand, the jade is a good jade, and it is cold to start. The rectangular jade pendant is written with four heroic books written by Ru I in person.
This small jade pendant, if it was in the past, did represent supreme power. But now that the Qing Dynasty is dying, Ye Shaolong is very suspicious that there will be anyone who will recognize what this jade pendant represents?
Just like what the little emperor can give to himself now, the so-called power must be possessed by the emperor, once his power is gone, then everything he gives will not become empty words.
Shaking his head with a wry smile, Ye Shaolong still carefully put away the jade pendant, although this thing does not represent power, but if it is regarded as an heirloom, it is still good.
Ye Shaolong, who returned to Yejiabao, just wanted to rush back to the small courtyard in the woods, but when he passed by the courtyard where Su Can lived, he saw that the light in his room was still bright, and he thought that he was still waiting for his news and did not sleep.
Ye Shaolong wandered outside the courtyard for a while, and finally walked in with his feet raised. The door was not locked, and Ye Shaolong opened it with a light push.
Su Can lay on the rocking chair, looked at Ye Shaolong with his eyes open, and saw that he did not have the joy of returning triumphantly, so he couldn't help frowning and said, "Things are not going well?" ”
Ye Shaolong moved a chair and sat beside Su Can, shook his head and said, "The provincial capital is no longer under the control of the little emperor, and now it is the world of foreigners." The prefect is a puppet government supported by foreigners! ”
Ye Shaolong was simply and opened his mouth to tell Su Can the truth. When the latter heard this, he fell into a long silence and said no more.
Seeing Su Can's face change, Ye Shaolong suddenly remembered Su Can's family affairs at this time, and thought: "This is a good time to persuade Su Can to quit the rivers and lakes." ”
Just do it when you think about it, Ye Shaolong has always been like this.
"Brother, little brother said something that shouldn't be said, I hope you think about it."
"Say it!"
Su Can's expression at this moment was no different from that of the little emperor who informed Ye Shaolong of the situation at that time, as if he had lost something important in an instant.
"Now that even the emperor has recognized the reality, why should my brother insist on going on. It's better to follow Uncle Li's suggestion to find a good friend and continue the incense for your Su family, which can be regarded as satisfying Uncle Li's last wish. ”
After a pause, Ye Shaolong saw that Su Can had a dissatisfied look on his face, and then explained: "Of course, this is just an expedient measure, if you still can't let go of the right and wrong on the rivers and lakes." You can live here with peace of mind first, and after you have a few more babies for the Su family, even if you still want to go back to do anything, the little brother will never stop you again! ”
