Hua Changfeng came to everyone and prepared to give a speech. Especially this kind of condolence, it is even more necessary to praise the merits of the deceased, this kind of thing is the practice of various countries, and everyone will give some face. Even if it is an enemy country, it will not curse people here, otherwise it will be a very offensive thing. However, Hua Changfeng also spoke next.

"Queen Victoria became King of England at the age of eighteen, in 1837, when England was beginning to reach its heyday. And this great era, I think the history of any country in the world, can be called the Victorian era. And the Victorian era will be an era that Britain can never surpass, and Queen Victoria is a monarch that no king in Britain can surpass in the future. Therefore, on behalf of the Chinese government, the imperial family, and His Majesty the Emperor, I would like to pay special tribute to a great monarch who cannot be surpassed by future generations! Hua Changfeng said first.

The British people present seemed to feel very depressed in their hearts when they heard this, and Hua Changfeng's words tasted very wrong! Although Hua Changfeng keeps saying that he respects Queen Victoria, he is crossing Queen Victoria, thinking that he thinks that Queen Victoria is a great era, and the Victorian era is the most prosperous era in Britain. This is not denied, because Britain did reach its peak in the Victorian era, and everyone knows this.

But later, this Hua Changfeng actually said that Queen Victoria is a queen that cannot be surpassed by future generations, and it is an era that cannot be surpassed, so what does this mean? The future British monarch will not be able to surpass Queen Victoria, and the future Britain will not be able to surpass the Victorian era.

You must know that Western society is not the same as China, the source of power in Western society is not ancestors, while the legitimacy of the source of power in Eastern society comes from the so-called reverence for heaven and ancestors. In traditional Chinese culture, as a descendant emperor, one can never claim to have surpassed his ancestors in his achievements. As a descendant, you can only "learn" from your own ancestors. Those who think they "deserve" are inferior to their ancestors, and those who think they should be taken for granted are less capable than their ancestors. No matter what the ancestors are, they are all better than themselves.

Therefore, the so-called idea of respecting heaven and ancestors has always been an important obstacle to reform in China, after all, traditional filial piety shows that it is necessary to respect ancestors and not to disobey ancestors. Therefore, many reformers who want to reform are often beaten back by a sentence of "ancestral system", and the emperor's power and divine legitimacy come from their ancestors. Then they naturally did not dare to deny their ancestors. And if any emperor has created achievements, it cannot be said that he has surpassed his ancestors, so this is the most headache. This kind of thinking is also the reason why the Chinese dynasties have inevitably declined, because the political, economic, social, military, and other systems of the founding period have been ossified, but vested interests have exalted the ancestral system as a reason and cannot carry out reforms. And once the emperor reformed and denied his ancestors, his own legitimacy would also be questioned, which was the reason for the collapse of many Chinese dynasties.

It's not that I don't want to change it, but this rotten idea is too serious. The resistance to reform is many times stronger than in the West. Therefore, Wang Guorui knows this deeply, so he avoids all kinds of systems being too strict. If the system is too strict, it may not be a good thing, so he adheres to the principle of leaving a line in everything, and does not regard every one of his systems and laws as absolutely effective, which is actually to give those politicians in later generations a certain amount of room for revision and improvement. If the system is too strict, then in the end, it will be because the system will be rigid at that time, so that the collective outbreak will be hopeless in the end.

However, since ancient times, the West has not had such a stubborn idea of the inviolability of its ancestors. Their thinking is not to admit that they are inferior to their ancestors, but to think that it is reasonable and legitimate for their descendants to surpass their ancestors. It makes sense. On the contrary, they do not have so many rules and regulations, and their nobles are all idealized to surpass their ancestors, which is that they are not bound by so many so-called filial piety ideas. They believe that it is appropriate for descendants to surpass their ancestors, even if the other party is the founding emperor, and it is a good thing for descendants to surpass their ancestors. If it is changed in China, if there is an emperor who wants to surpass his ancestors. Surpassing himself as the founding emperor, it will definitely be sprayed, scolded, and even the throne will be abolished, so in this case, China's reform resistance is much sadder!

The West does not have this tradition bound by ancestors. So they think it's right to surpass their ancestors. But this Hua Changfeng's words are too wrong, saying that Queen Victoria is the queen that Britain cannot surpass in later generations, and the Victorian era is an era that Britain cannot surpass in later generations. The subconscious meaning of this statement is that Britain has flourished and declined, has reached its heyday, and cannot be more prosperous in the future. Hua Changfeng's words are simply cursing the decline of Britain, and after the curse, Britain will begin to decline and will not be able to surpass the Victorian era.

An era that cannot be surpassed, and that is not a good thing for Westerners. Once there is an era that is called an era that cannot be surpassed, it means that they have declined and cannot return to the past scenery. This is the case in Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, and so on. The aristocratic officials and even the ordinary people of those countries are immersed in the glory of the past, and they try their best to recall the glory of those years. They've always been countries that like to brag about their history and then look like it's all about how glorious it is.

This is a common problem in European countries, especially in Western Europe, once they have a glorious history, they brag and look back, and they don't have much idea to continue to create a prosperous era. Although China has changed dynasties again and again, it has also used its long history to create prosperous eras one after another. In China, the so-called prosperous era is not unusual, if there are not a few prosperous times in any dynasty, it is embarrassing to say that it is a dynasty. Therefore, for the Chinese, the prosperity is not unusual, but formally because there has been a strong and a decline, a strong and a great decline again and again, so that the use of suffering has exercised the perseverance of the entire nation. Although China has been reincarnated again and again, it has exercised the perseverance of the nation, which may not be a harvest.

Therefore, this Hua Changfeng said that future generations could not surpass Victoria and the Victorian era, and this clearly meant that the British would definitely decline in the future.

"Hmph, this Chinese has some meaning, who wrote this speech? What a lack of virtue! Wilhelm II thought with a snicker.

Many ordinary British people are still very satisfied, thinking that this Hua Changfeng is praising their queen and praising their queen. But for those old fritters who are old and have many years of political experience, their faces are dark, and they obviously hear the underlying meaning of these words. After all, ordinary people love to listen to those good ones, and this has nothing to do with whether they are smart or not, but everyone has a specialization in art. Ordinary people just heard Hua Changfeng praising their queen, but they were not that kind of politicians, and they didn't have much cultural foundation, so they naturally couldn't quickly understand the meaning of this.

What's more, even the most powerful Britain in this era has not been able to really popularize enough high school education, and what Britain can achieve at present is only six years of compulsory education, so they can't understand such advanced wordplay at all. But those British officials and royalty feel hot, this is completely pumping their successors! The more Hua Changfeng praised Queen Victoria and the Victorian era, and explained that future generations could not surpass it, it was telling them that Britain had begun to decline, and it was inevitable that it would decline. At that time, Queen Victoria and the Victorian era will become an eternal myth in Britain, an era that cannot be surpassed forever.

Once an era is eternal and cannot be surpassed, then for a country and a nation, in fact, is it not a sorrow? Ancestors are used to surpass, and predecessors are also used to catch up. Although the result of the back waves of the Yangtze River pushing the front waves is cruel to the predecessors, if this is not done, then human beings will not be able to progress. However, Britain will never be able to surpass the Victorian era, so they are already doomed. This is simply a slap in the face, it is simply a slap in the face of those British politicians and royalty, obviously looking down on them, thinking that they will not be able to continue to maintain the glory of the Victorian era, let alone surpass the Victorian era.

The Germans are gloating here, apparently snickering! This speech is too lacking in morality, and the more Hua Changfeng praises Victoria, it is also playing the face of his successor. As a German who has always wanted to pull down the British Empire, it is natural that he is very gloating about this situation.

However, that Hua Changfeng still had his own words, and the next words were even more surprising to everyone.

"Actually, our emperor is actually very grateful to the British Empire and Queen Victoria, the British Empire and Queen Victoria have a very great kindness to our China!" Hua Changfeng said.

Many people at the scene almost vomited blood, so Hua Changfeng would actually say that? Anyone knows that the British have suffered a lot of losses under the hands of China, but now they actually say that they have a great favor, this is too funny, right? However, since people say so, if you don't hit the smiling person, you really can't say anything. So out of the so-called gentlemanly style, they could only let him continue. (To be continued.) )
