When the Austro-Hungarian mission arrived in Beijing, the Ottoman Empire across Eurasia broke out in the uprising of the "Young Turkish Revolutionary Party", a party of young military officers, government officials, and intellectuals who demanded an end to Hamid's autocratic rule, followed by the establishment of the United Progress Council in Istanbul to take power, and the Sultan proclaimed the 876 Constitution and the restoration of the parliamentary system, marking the beginning of the second constitutional period of the Ottoman Empire.

The Imperial Privy Council held an emergency meeting overnight to discuss the situation in the Ottoman Empire, and the minutes of the meeting were also conveyed to religious leaders and political and economic dignitaries who were not in the capital.

There was no doubt that the Ottoman Empire would enter the ranks of modern states, but with it came regional turmoil and almost predictable disintegration, and it was long heard that some ethnic leaders in the Balkans, mainly Serbs and Greeks, had formed a Balkan alliance to resist Ottoman control and oppression.

The first issue of the Privy Council meeting was the question of whether or not to intervene in the situation in the Ottoman Empire and the reaction of European countries to it.

Russia and Austria-Hungary will naturally be happy with the turmoil in the Ottoman Empire, and will take the opportunity to encroach on the influence of the Ottoman Turkish Empire in the Balkans, and as for the competition between Russia and the Ottoman Empire in the Transcaucasus, the outcome is already predictable.

Britain's feelings about the Ottoman Empire should be the most complicated, the British do not want to see a huge and unrivaled Arab Empire, but do not want to see the Ottoman Empire weakened, in the past they need to use the Ottoman Empire to fight Russia's westward advance, and now they are worried that the Turkish region will become a springboard for the Chinese and further affect the European balance of power.

Li Hongzhang is the prime minister of the empire and has a special and important position in the Privy Council, but he didn't squeak much, because look at the members of the Privy Council, including the most influential figures in the military, political and business circles, many of whom were in the high positions of the Pingyuan Army or the Regent regime, he was still a down-and-out scholar who had just defected to the Pingyuan Army, and some bigwigs did not buy his account much.

Dealing with a bunch of old men with great achievements in war can even be said to be a kind of torture for the imperial prime minister.

In the end, Ye Zhaoqian was the sole proprietor and proposed that the Imperial Foreign Affairs Department strengthen ties with the Ottoman Joint Progress Committee and wait and see what happened. Although the results of the Privy Council had no legal effect in the Imperial Constitution and were only the recommendations of the Emperor's private advisory council, they had the same effect on the decisions of the central government as the resolutions.

While discussing the Ottoman situation, the Privy Council made an assessment of the situation in Afghanistan, and the new Afghan regime has not yet given an account of the attack on the Chinese merchants, and even demanded that the empire release its captured tribal leaders, and in Afghanistan, attacks on Islamic Protestants have emerged one after another, and even several tragic massacres have occurred.

Li Jianchen, Zhou Jingshan, and others believed that Afghanistan was a barren land, with mountains and mountains, and it was not easy to use troops, so it was necessary to consider the long term. Li Hongzhang was silent.

..., Ye Zhao waved his hand to stop their argument, and said to Li Hongzhang: "You will discuss this matter again in the Military Commission and the National Yuan." Naturally, the argument came to an abrupt end.

After lunch, Ye Zhao led Princess Jingping and Princess Taiping out of the palace to play, first went back to the original Lao Zheng Wangfu to see the grandparents of the two little princesses, and then went to the Suzaku Club Jingshi Branch in the southern suburbs of Minxiang to see the situation of free pox for working-class children.

What's more, Ye Zhao is also rare to get close to his children, since he was ready to marry Yong'an, Ye Zhao deliberately spent more time with his children, but in any case, the emperor's family, it is really difficult to enjoy the joy of the people, the children love him, respect him and are afraid of him, but they don't know how to get close to their father.

Jingping is the daughter of Iori, nine years old this year, Taiping is the daughter of Jinfeng, eight years old this year, the two are of the same age, and they love to play together, but with Ye Zhao, the two little girls carved in pink and jade immediately became stuffy gourds, except for the two little heads whispering together, they didn't dare to say a word to Ye Zhao, even if Ye Zhao heard that the two little girls wanted to take the rickshaw outside, and specially brought them to sit, but the two girls have been timidly not talking, Ye Zhao knows that this is also inseparable from his ascetic life for several years, I regret it slightly.

It is no exaggeration to say that considering whether the imperial city is prosperous or not, you only need to look at the number of rickshaws on the street to know that the economy is prosperous, there will be a large number of employment opportunities, and the bitter haha will make money by pulling the cart.

Ye Zhao also rarely sat back in the rickshaw, the driver was a young man, with a slightly yellowed white towel hanging around his neck, running fast and steady, a good handlebar.

The location of the Vermilion Bird Club is located on the south side of Taoranting Park, which is adjacent to the Three Holy Temples, and this park is also the first national public garden in Beijing to be open to the public, which was also funded by the Suzaku Society.

The Suzaku Society has long been renamed the Royal Charity Federation, but the Suzaku logo has been retained, and has been extended to become the symbol of the Oriental Medical Center, the Suzaku Society has developed very rapidly over the years, and now the branch has spread throughout the country and overseas colonies, and has gradually entered the southeastern countries, influencing the subjects of the southeastern countries in another way.

The chairman of the Beijing branch of the Royal Charity Federation is Zailian, that is, the little brother of the year, and now he is close to the age of establishment, although he has long been married, but he has never had an heir, perhaps, it is intentional.

Zailian is also the grandfather of the country, and he was named a diligent scholar back then, but he never participated in political affairs, and even changed his surname to Jin, and no one of the staff of the charity association who worked with him knew the past of this Mr. Jin.

Ye Zhao called the guards to go to the branch for an unannounced visit, and he led the two little princesses into the park, although Taoranting Park is extremely shabby compared to the royal garden, but the tourists in the park, the frolicking children, for the two little princesses, are much more interesting than in the palace.

As with all parks in the empire, the park now charges a fee to enter the park, and the entrance fee to Taoranting Park is one yuan, which is not too high, but it is not low, and those who are willing to spend money to visit the park are citizens who pursue a new life.

Sitting on the bench on the lawn, seeing that the two little girls were also sitting with him, Ye Zhao couldn't help but smile and said, "You guys go play." ”

The two handsome little girls glanced at each other, shook their little heads, and said in unison in a childish child's voice: "The son accompanies his father." "It's very painful to look small. …,

Ye Zhao scratched his head, stood up and said, "I'll play with you." For a while, but he didn't know what to play, Zhongshou called over a civilian guard, whispered a few words in his ear, and the guard took the order and left.

"Ah", suddenly a guard dressed as a servant stood in front of the two little princesses, and the scream came from a man in a sweatshirt who came from the south to the north, and he led a little girl who was also seven or eight years old and dressed in flowers, and just a black shadow flew out of the little girl's hand, and hit the guard's chest, leaving a little stain, and if you look closely, it turned out to be the hawthorn fruit of the rock sugar gourd.

"Ah, I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for you, sir, miss......" The middle-aged man in a sweatshirt rushed over to apologize, but was stopped by a "servant", and couldn't get close to Ye Zhao and the two princesses.

When he saw that the offended Mr. and Miss had many servants with them, and their style was extraordinary, the middle-aged man was even more flustered, and said in a loud voice: "I'm sorry master, miss, my girl is unintentional, this, how much is this clothes?" I, I'll help you clean up......" I reached out to help the guard wipe the stains on my body, and was pushed away by the guard.

Ye Zhao smiled: "It's okay, it's okay. Stretching out the folding fan, the guards hurriedly flashed aside.

"Thank you, sir, thank you." The middle-aged man even said thank you, and secretly rejoiced in his heart to meet a reasonable master, if he had to pay for his own clothes, he would see that other people's servants were all brightly dressed, and a set of clothes was only afraid that he could cover half a month's salary.

"Father, what is this young lady holding in her hand?" Jing Ping turned his little head sideways and asked in Ye Zhao's ear, Jing Ping is the daughter of Iori, she has an indifferent mother, she is a little bolder, she has been out for a long time, and finally dares to talk to Ye Zhao.

Ye Zhao looked at it, it turned out that the little girl was holding a sugar gourd in her left hand and a hemp rope bag in her right hand, which contained the kind of toys made of pig bones and a tattered leather ball, but the toys and the leather ball were newly painted with red paint, which looked bright and beautiful.

Ye Zhao smiled: "Won't you ask?" ”

Jing Ping hesitated, then took Tai Ping's hand and ran to the little girl, and asked her, "Sister, what is in your hand?" ”

The little girl didn't recognize her life, picked up the hemp rope bag and showed off: "It's the bones that my father just made for me, you don't have it, your father can't do it, right?" ”

The middle-aged man widened his eyes and reprimanded: "Don't talk nonsense, I don't understand any politeness, call Miss quickly." He hurriedly said to Ye Zhao: "Master, I'm sorry, country girl, I haven't seen the world, I'll ask her to kowtow to Miss to make amends." "Plainly, his family has not been able to contact the rich and noble, the courtyard is full of bitterness, and his daughter does not understand the difference between the rich and the poor, and today he is finally willing to spend money to take his daughter to play in the park for nearly a year, but he doesn't want to provoke the rich old lady.

Ye Zhao waved the folding fan and said with a smile: "This is very good, I think your daughter is good." He said to the little girl: "Little sister, I am not as good as your father, what are you going to ...... Bones are playing with your two young ladies, right? ”

The little girl said sharply: "Okay! She was not stingy, and beckoned Jingping and Taiping to go to the lawn with her to play, and when she saw her father bowing slightly, Jingping and Taiping followed her to the side lawn.

The man in the cloth shirt was stunned, but he really couldn't imagine meeting such a master, in the minds of ignorant children, his father is the most capable, and he is most grateful that this master maintains his face in front of his daughter, and does not smash his daughter's childish fairy tale world too early, so that his daughter knows that the cruel reality is that he is so small as a father.

"Sir, you are such a good person." The man in the cloth shirt said what was from his heart. …,

Ye Zhao shook his head and said, "As a father, I really can't compare to you." ”

The man in the cloth shirt didn't know what Ye Zhao was thinking, thinking that this kind gentleman had encountered some problems, so he smiled and said, "How come?" The lord and the young lady are both rich and noble people, even if they encounter difficulties, they will definitely turn evil into good fortune. ”

Ye Zhao smiled and didn't squeak.

The man in the cloth shirt said again: "Master, my surname is Wang, everyone calls me Wang Lao Wu, don't hide it from the master, you are the clothes of the people, I really can't afford to lose, I am the one who pulls the car in Nancheng, and I only earn one hundred and eighty yuan a month, isn't this Nizi making trouble to come to the park, I thought I would bring her to see and see, but who knows, you have a lot of adults, or else, you want to use the car, I will pull half a month for the house?" ”

Ye Zhao said: "No need, it's all a small thing." ”

After being silent for a while, the two really didn't have anything in common to talk about, so the man in the cloth shirt squatted to the side and watched his daughter play with the two young ladies.

The three little girls chatted and played well, but the man in the cloth shirt quickly got up to say goodbye to Ye Zhao, obviously worried that his daughter would be in trouble.

But just for a while, the little girl fell in love with Jingping and Taiping, and only felt that the newly met friend was not only born beautiful, but also knew more things, and both of them had generally good voices.

For example, when it comes to her leather ball, she knows that it is because of air leakage, and people say that it is filled with air, and it can also be filled with "light" air, that is, a balloon that can fly, and the hospital uses oxygen, and it can also treat diseases.

"Daddy, I want to play with them a little longer." The little girl begged her father, but the man in the cloth shirt said nothing, he was a person from two worlds, and it was his daughter who suffered in the end after too much contact.

Just at this time, the guards rushed back, he had to be instructed by Ye Zhao, and went to the gate of the park to buy two small plastic cameras, which were actually small toys that could read pictures, Ye Zhao was originally bought for Jing Ping and Tai Ping to play, Jing Ping and Tai Ping coincidentally, and they gave the new toys to the little girl, but even if the two little princesses wanted to play with her more, they would not show their emotions, let alone beg their father, but just politely said goodbye to their new friends.

"Jingping will go to a girls' school outside after the summer this year, and he will definitely make a lot of new friends, and Taiping, let's go to school with my sister a year in advance." On the way out of the park, Ye Zhao said to the two little girls who were a little unrefreshed. The education of the royal princess is in the palace before the age of eight, and after the age of eight, in addition to the palace education, she will also use a pseudonym to go to a private girls' school to study, and at the age of thirteen, she will enter the royal girls' school. Between the ages of seven or eight and thirteen is the stage of the initial formation of world views and values, and Ye Zhao believes that it is not a bad thing to have more contact with the people.

"Father, I just met the noble lady." Taiping suddenly whispered to Ye Zhao, looking at his toes with his head, as if he had made a big mistake.

Noble lady? Ye Zhaoqi said: "Which noble lady?" "Taiping is naturally called by the palace maids, and the nobles will be called Niangniang by the princess.
