For Nanjing, the imperial palace garden in the east of the city can be said to be the largest Western-style garden in the inner city, but it is a forbidden place for the common people, after all, this is the important place of the imperial palace, although the "Forbidden City" in Beiping also has the name of the imperial palace is open to the outside world, but the imperial palace in Nanjing is only partially open to the outside world in the summer - at that time, the royal family has entered the summer palace in Lushan, which can naturally be opened to the outside world, just as the summer palace is open to the outside world in other periods.

Sometimes, for the sake of royal majesty, it is always necessary to maintain a touch of mystery,

When the birds in the imperial garden began to chirp, Tang Yixuan, as the crown prince, got up early, at this time, he did not wear the uniform of the army or navy or the Han-style uniform as usual, but changed into a physical training uniform, and began a normal morning exercise, although you are the crown prince, for Tang Yixuan, who is about to turn eighteen years old, he will make a choice in life after his eighteenth birthday - whether to go to the navy or serve in the army.

There is no excuse for the duty and obligation of the children of the royal family to serve in the army, and of course, if he could, he would prefer to take the joint university examination in a month's time, to be admitted to a certain university, and to receive the same public education as ordinary young people, which is of course impossible.

As the crown prince, there are too many things he can't do, and there are too many things that he needs to do, like going to serve in the army. He knew what he was going to start with, and what he was going to start was an era when the royal children joined the army as an ordinary soldier, whether it was the army or the navy, he was just an ordinary soldier.

In the Chinese Dynasty, according to the requirements of the "Chinese Imperial Aristocracy Act", the royal family and nobles must be moral models for the people, and they must lead by example, just as the people are required to serve, and the best demonstration of the values of courage and responsibility of the royal and aristocratic people is the military.

It has been the tradition of European aristocracy since ancient times - from the royal family to the royal family, and it is their duty to join the army. In China, this used to be impossible, and even if it did, it was often only symbolic. But now, it will be a new tradition that will be opened in him.

But this choice is really very difficult to choose.

Is it the Navy, or is it the Army?

Tang Yixuan, who was running in the imperial garden, thought silently, of course he wanted to go to the navy, and then follow the warship to see the world, but those people in the admiralty, would they agree to the crown prince's service?

What if he doesn't agree?

And the Army...... Obviously, the army didn't mind letting him serve as a private of the first class, and judging from the experience of his friends at the Tsarskoye School and the army, those old non-commissioned officers, no matter what dukes or counts they were, were all ordinary recruits.

And this equality is exactly what he desires,

Otherwise, join the Army!

But it seems that you should join the navy, the navy's military uniform is more beautiful, but the army's black military uniform is also very handsome?

Just when he was entangled in his heart, he saw a running figure in the distance, who else could it be besides his father? So he quickened his pace and made a "coincidence" move.

As the first adult prince of the royal family, who is also the crown prince of the empire, and His Royal Highness the most honorable Han King of the empire who received the canonization two years ago, Tang Yixuan has been given too many responsibilities, and of course, his every move is also watched by people.

"Erchen ......"

When his son wanted to greet him according to the ceremony, Tang Haoran waved his hand and said.

"How many times have I said it, between father and son, there is no need for these red tape, this is the palace is good, for outsiders, it is the palace, for us, it is home, between families, there is no need for so many palace rules, that royal palace rules are just a group of old people according to the old formula, as for whether to abide by it, it is our free ......"

As an emperor, Tang Haoran had too many things he couldn't do. The royal palace rules are there, and there are people who pay attention to the behavior and behavior, but he is the emperor!

He never thought that he wanted to use those so-called palace rules to restrict himself, let alone abide by the kind of "outsiders" who turned his family into a group of "outsiders" who were more polite than outsiders and were restricted by etiquette.

"Yes, Father...... Father! ”

The "father" who came to his mouth still changed his mouth, followed his father's side, looked at the sweat on his father's forehead, and then looked at his father's ordinary soldier's training uniform, Tang Yixuan suddenly had an urge to laugh, if someone took a picture of their father and son's current appearance, it might cause what kind of uproar, at least for the people, this is a typical loss of decency.

How can the royal family, which is a national model, be like this?

Of course, this is in the palace!

Some people may pay attention to their every move, but as the emperor's father, he is careful to make the palace his home, not the high-ranking "palace", perhaps, this is the luckiest thing for him and Yilin, Yihan and other younger siblings, the father is only their father, not the high-ranking father.

"Have you figured it out?"

Suddenly, Tang Haoran asked his son beside him, he could feel that now his relationship with his son seemed to be becoming more and more estranged, which seemed to be an inevitability, in another month, he would leave the palace and move into the "Han Palace", which was a certain degree of "domain".

"To the Navy, or to the Army?"

From his father's words, Tang Yixuan could guess his father's thoughts - obviously he wanted him to enter the navy, after all, for his father, he attached more importance to the navy, although the country has shouted "land and sea simultaneously" for many years, but in fact, the navy has always been favored by his father and ministers.

After all, this era is the era of sea power, and the crown prince's entry into the navy can in itself show the royal attitude, especially for China, a country that has focused on land for thousands of years, ignoring the sea, and has little maritime foundation, the navy needs the crown prince to enter the navy.

"Father, I'm afraid it's unlikely that the Admiralty will agree to let me on board!"

This is Tang Yixuan's biggest concern, after all, there is a certain risk in getting on the ship, in case there is any accident on the warship at sea, when the time comes, it is not something that the Admiralty can bear.

"They're thinking too much!"

Shaking his head, Tang Haoran continued.

"I don't want you to be a normal sailor, though! Of course, you are not expected to enter the army as an ordinary soldier, which should not be the path that the crown prince, or the prince, should take. ”

Looking at his son, Tang Haoran said seriously. He had his own plans for the future of his sons, but he never hooked up with them.

"Father, what do you mean?"

Tang Yixuan looked at his father in surprise, not an ordinary soldier? Is that?

"I was going to tell you in a few days, but I have already ordered someone to register you at the Navy Military Academy and the Army Military Academy.

Go to military school!

Looking at his father in astonishment, Tang Yixuan immediately realized that in the next ten to twelve years, he would serve in the army as a soldier, unlike his classmates at the Huangcun School, who only had to serve for a maximum of forty-eight months of national service, which was mostly just to abide by aristocratic duties.

"Responsibility! There is no more noble word in our nouns, and it is the duty of a nobleman to serve! ”

Tang Haoran's tone was extremely calm.

"There are a lot, they serve, just to cope, since the Qin and Han dynasties, China's upper class of society has been declining in martial spirits, the reason is that they can not join the army from Rong as their own responsibility, although I have developed a system, force them to join the army, but what they can do, is only to serve in the national service, of course, I do not object to this, this is already a kind of progress! And as the future emperor, it is necessary for you to tell the people with your actions that the royal family will fulfill its responsibilities......"

Although his words were high-sounding, Tang Haoran did not tell the truth - the reason why he made this decision was actually out of a father's selfishness!

Yes, that's right, it's the selfishness of being a father, Yixuan will be 18 years old in a month, Yilin will be 18 years old in another month, Yilin will be in three months, and Yihan, in the next six years, he will have seven sons who have reached adulthood, which means that they must serve.

And what will happen in the next six years?

World war!

In another time and space, the world war went on until 1918, and if they were ordinary soldiers, what was the probability of them being killed or wounded on the battlefield?

When and in what form the war will break out, Tang Haoran does not know, but as a father, he knows that it is necessary for him to protect his son, this is the selfishness of being a father, perhaps, he will send his son to the battlefield without any worries. But that doesn't mean he's not selfish.

And now, it is his selfishness to ask his son to apply for a military school.

At least in the military academy, the son can spend the next four years safely, even if he graduates early, he will spend the next three years safely, if history develops as in another time and space, at least after the outbreak of war, the son will serve as a junior officer in a relatively safe place, instead of a battlefield full of bullets, as an ordinary soldier struggling in the muddy trenches, tearing and killing......

"I see, father!"

Tang Yixuan naturally has no objection to his father's arrangement, although it is related to his next ten to twelve years of life, but this is his responsibility.

"Well, let's have breakfast together today!"

The royal breakfast, although not as rich as outsiders imagine, but the nutrition is very reasonable, as a parent Tang Haoran is enjoying breakfast, he will still habitually pick up the newspaper, this is a habit developed over the years, in fact, this is also a channel for him to understand public opinion, as the emperor, if what is the biggest shortcoming, is that as the emperor, his every move is noticed, along with what he hears, what he sees, is also screened, for the emperor, Newspapers are the most important channel for him to listen to public opinion, so there is always a thick stack of newspapers next to his seat.

Almost as soon as he picked up the newspaper, he was attracted by the text on the front page of the newspaper.

"The Torreon tragedy! Hundreds of overseas Chinese were slaughtered! ”

What the!

This, how is this possible!

Almost at that moment, Tang Haoran instinctively wanted to deny it, thinking that it was just a rumor, but when he looked at the four words of "Dong-A Daily", his brows suddenly furrowed, and "Dong-A Daily" would never joke about its reputation on the front page.

At this time, Tang Haoran didn't even think about why the newspaper was earlier than he knew, of course, this is not impossible, after all, it is impossible for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to disturb his rest in the middle of the night, unless it is an extremely first-level situation, and this overseas incident and the situation of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are obviously not a first-level situation.

Now, as the emperor of the empire, Tang Haoran's question is not why the incident happened, but what the incident will lead to, which is exactly the habit that has been cultivated over the years, even if the incident has happened, then anger will not solve the problem, and now the real question is how to deal with the aftermath.

First of all, Dong-A Ilbo has tens of millions of readers, and this report is bound to cause unprecedented turmoil in China. In the eyes of the people, "Britain and the United States and other Western countries" everywhere encircle, restrict, and persecute the peace-loving China in the world is obviously a resistance and hostility to China's rapid rise, and this kind of shift of attention is what the government needs, and it can even be said that it has developed under the deliberate manipulation of the government. But what are the negative consequences?

It is the people who are becoming more and more anxious and agitated, and the young people are sitting together talking about nothing else, but about how to break the encirclement and restrictions of Western countries, and it seems that war against Britain and the United States has become the only way out, but they obviously ignore that the current Chinese arm is only just growing a little muscle......

Now, the massacre of hundreds of expatriates will stir up what kind of national sentiment will be aroused? In the midst of this stirring of national sentiment, how should we deal with this matter and how should we explain it to the people?

"Father, what's wrong?"

From his father's face, Tang Yixuan was keenly aware of the seriousness of the situation. He glanced at the newspaper and his eyes snapped open.

"Father, this ......"

"Something is going to happen!"

Looking at the son in front of him, Tang Haoran said in a tone that was close to a long sigh.

"This matter is not easy to deal with!"

Yes, it's really hard to deal with, on the one hand, because the emotions of the newly cultivated citizens need to be taken care of, and on the other hand, Mexico ...... Of course, this country is not to be feared, but if it is tough, will there be any ripple effects in the future?

How can we find the right balance between being tough and satisfying the people without worsening the incident?

As the emperor, Tang Haoran felt that he was in a dilemma for the first time! (To be continued.) )
