In October 1912, there was an earthquake in Northern Europe, and the world situation suddenly ushered in a new earthquake!

- St. Petersburg was merged with Belarus. After more than a year of deliberation and negotiations, this country with an area of 200,000 square kilometers was finally incorporated into the arms of St. Petersburg.

And after re-embracing Belarus, Russia is already the largest country in Europe in terms of area and population. With a land area of nearly 2 million square kilometers, it is equivalent to four France, and the population of 60 million is also the highest in Europe. However, in terms of national strength, in terms of industrial strength data, Russia can still only be classified as a second-rate country.

But no one dares to underestimate the impact of this shock, because it means that Russia as a nation has truly returned to European politics, and it is roaring at the whole European world, and no longer confined its footprint to Northern and Eastern Europe.

As far as China is concerned, the outbreak in Russia has only made the already complicated international situation even more complicated. Anyway, China's strategy is to adapt to all changes without change, so it is up to Europe to toss and turn.

In 1912, China had stopped large-scale for several years, and the local population was 400 million people, counting all ethnic minorities, and only talking about the old soil + the three eastern provinces and Inner Mongolia, there were about 350 million, and the population of Siberia and Central Asia has been growing rapidly in recent years. The profits from the development of Nanyang and North America have also begun to return to the mainland, not to mention anything else, only to say that the repayment of loans of 200 million immigrants in Nanyang and North America has made China's finances, which had been living a tight life before, become rich.

At that time, the government led several major public and private banks to make large-scale loans to private immigrants, and then the money brought by these immigrants was used to buy grain, improved seeds, agricultural and livestock tools in the hands of the government, and so on. In this kind of left-hand exchange-right-search transaction, the government has greatly exploited one layer, and the government has eliminated one cent of the payment for the goods of the factories by reducing taxes for the second time. The profit in the middle is no longer 30% or 50%, but 200% or 300%!

When these immigrants have gained a foothold in the South Seas and North America. After two or three years of operation, the repayment period begins. A part of the repayment is made in a year, and the bank still has interest, although the interest rate is very low. But in the case of a huge base, this is another amount of money.

So don't look at the fact that China has also been building up its armaments on a large scale in recent years, with dumplings appearing like main and non-main warships, and countless tanks and artillery of various types, and last year and this year, it also openly supported the Ottomans, Persia and Afghanistan in a big way, and at the same time silently developed the aircraft industry and aircraft carrier formations. However, in the financial statements released to the outside world, no matter how good the accountants are, they can't see what is hidden.

I don't know that China's good financial situation has completely exploded the arrears of Britain, France, Germany and the United States! Blow up all the countries of the West! What outsiders see is that China is rapidly depleting what little wealth it has left, and China's finances are also tight and pitiful.

In the early summer of 1913, the Old Summer Palace, which took more than two years to build, was abundant on the ruins, and a large number of precious calligraphy and paintings, antiques, porcelain, and jade carvings were put into this garden covering an area of more than 5,200 acres from the royal inventory. There are also all kinds of exotic plants and osmanthus flowers transplanted from all over the country.

It also includes a large number of rare cultural relics acquired from Britain and France. In the early years, Chinese antiques had no value in the Western world, and a pair of calligraphy and paintings of celebrities cherished in China were not as valuable as an ingot of gold, but with the gradual increase of China's national strength, with the rapid spread of China's influence. The price of Chinese antiques has skyrocketed as much as China's strength.

The Chinese government and the royal family took the lead in bringing back batches of celebrity calligraphy and paintings, secret classics, and bell and ding treasures from Britain and France, but it took a lot of effort and a lot of money. But the Chinese royal family has money, which is hidden from its own old emperor. The Chinese Congress, which regarded the reconstruction of the Old Summer Palace as the last order of the old emperor, very generously approved a sum of money for purchases, although China had a lot of blood in the process of recovering the antiquities. But it's not bad money at all! What's more, in this regard, there are also civil society organizations that act like the government and the royal family.

Liu Xian's prestige among the Chinese people is too high and too high, and many non-governmental organizations and the vast majority of Chinese people. Like the congressmen, they regarded the rebuilding of the Old Summer Palace as his last wish, and the people spontaneously organized a number of cultural relics recovery organizations. Donations have been made to the accounts of these non-governmental organizations, and the Chinese who have been waving money to buy Chinese cultural relics in the past two years have opened the eyes of Westerners and allowed them to really see China's wealth.

Therefore, on the day when the construction and decoration of the Old Summer Palace were completely completed, Liu Xian saw a result that made him extremely satisfied. Think about the Hengdian New Old Summer Palace that he had not completed when he crossed in his previous life, even if the area is 1,000 acres larger than here, but when it comes to actual value, the value of a palace everywhere in the Old Summer Palace can completely blow up the new garden. Tens of thousands of precious antiques, calligraphy and paintings, jade, and literary dictionaries that make people lose their eyes, and even the most ordinary furniture, doors and windows, are all made of the finest red sandalwood and huanghuali, which is to get the 21st century China before Emperor Liu traveled, a table is millions large!

Then Emperor Liu was very cooperative' seriously ill, and a month after the completion of the Old Summer Palace, a large number of tourists were already excited to enjoy the garden of ten thousand gardens, and the old Emperor Liu was critically ill in time. After all, it has been two years since he abdicated, and it would be unreal if he was not critically ill, or it might make people think that his health had improved again.

It's just that being critically ill is not the same as death, being sick and sick, as long as you leave a lingering sickbed, the image of dying old is OK.

"Grandpa Huang, you are in a circle here all day, are you bored? Let's go out and have fun. Not at home, let's go to an overseas island. ”

Liu Xian has been ill for more than half a month, and the whole person is naturally forced on Xiangshan, a group of sons out of the emperor are not under the knees, and even the grandchildren are also seen through the light veil after makeup, and sent back, the one who can really accompany him at all times, except for the concubines around him, is the baby granddaughter in front of him.

The younger generation knows that the old emperor is a person who pretends to be sick, and there are very few of them. Among the princesses and county lords, there is only one in front of them.

The 16-year-old eldest princess of Xiangyang.

It's a little ghost. The head melon is logically very smart, and she can recite poems since she was two years old. At the age of three, he can write, and at the age of five, he memorized the three-character scripture, the surname of a hundred families and the brilliant achievements of a thousand-character text. This little guy's head is determined to be first-class smart. But who knows, when you grow up, you grow up, but people grow crooked. The brains are the same smart, but they are all smart ghosts, and their studies are a mess. From the first day I entered the school, my butt was like having tribulus terrestris, and I couldn't sit still for a moment. If it weren't for his identity, it's likely that this little guy wouldn't even be able to go to high school.

But Liu Xian likes this granddaughter very much. It is said that his studies were also a mess back then, and his granddaughter loved to read novels. It's the same as his 'fall' back then. The only difference is that Liu Xian was very able to sit still back then, and in order to read novels, he even had to buy food after morning self-study and bring it back to his classmates.

Of course, Chinese novels in this time and space are not as powerful as the Internet fast food in the 21st century, and they are still literary in nature.

Even the emergence of martial arts novels, if it weren't for the fact that when Emperor Liu was idle and bored in his early years, he asked a few young people with good pen skills in his attendant room to write a few martial arts novels with the 'novel outline' they came up with to relieve their boredom, which greatly promoted the development of Chinese martial arts novels.

Liu Xian also organized and established a number of literary awards. Just like the Galaxy Award, the Science and Technology Invention Award, whether it is a short story or a long one, the rewards are very rich. Literature has had a very high status in China since ancient times, and Chinese novels have developed very rapidly in the past two or three decades. It is much better than China at the same time in history. Coupled with the development of the film industry, Liu Xian lived in seclusion in Xiangshan, and his biggest leisure was watching movies and reading novels.

Liu Ai doesn't like to study. I like to read novels and movies, and I'm only 16 years old. has already invested his pocket money in two movies. My favorite is Liu Xianam's Xiangshan Residence, which is here. Her grandfather is the oldest, and her father and mother can't control herself. At the same time, there is the most abundant collection of novels in China, from all over the world. Like the most comprehensive movies in China, they come from all over the world, and many of them have been re-dubbed by her imperial grandfather, instead of simply subtitles.

For Liu Ai, this is a paradise for her to escape from her studies. But the little girl couldn't stand the constraints after all, and this time she took the opportunity of the old emperor to come to Xiangshan to live in another place, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, and she couldn't sit still after half a month.

How could Liu Xian go overseas to play at this time. smiled and touched his granddaughter's little brain, "When it comes to the summer vacation, the imperial grandfather will allow you to go outside and play happily for a month." It's okay if you want to go overseas. But now, don't even think about it! He scratched his granddaughter's nose and used a slight force, which provoked Liu Ai's arrogance.

At this moment, some people in China are already clamoring for the old emperor to repair history and close the coffin.

Liu Xian looked like he had done a lot of work, so that everyone in the world thought he was going to fail. All of a sudden, the newspapers in China publicized his great achievements, and the revision of history and nicknames became a necessity at hand.

The Chinese government and the imperial family turned a blind eye to this turmoil caused by the public opinion circles, and allowed the people to toss it in this way.

Forty-two-year-old Ai Yan lives in Xishuijing Hutong in Beijing. He taught Chinese in a public high school, and few people knew that he was a Manchu, and even fewer knew that he was the Guangxu Emperor back then.

In the old days, Wang Xie Tang Qianyan flew into the homes of ordinary people. All the glory and wealth, all the power and glory, with more than 30 years of wind and rain have been blown away by the wind and rain. The influence of the Manchu Qing Dynasty has long since been wiped out, and the slightest trace of it has ceased to exist. These old and young remnants of the former Qing Dynasty who surrendered that year were released from their imprisonment by the government 20 years ago. And his aunt, the Empress Dowager Cixi, who was the most powerful in the world at the time, also died fifteen years ago. In the long river of years, one after another, the influential figures of the year have been submerged in the endless river water.

Zuo Zongtang, Zeng Guoquan, Liu Dian, Ding Richang, Liu Changyou, Liu Kunyi, Guo Songtao, ......, the dominant figures in the past, now it seems that only one old and strong Li Hongzhang is still insisting on the political arena, even the young and older generation of Qin army generals have withdrawn from the stage of history. For example, Fan Debang and Zhang Shouyan......

Ai Xiang likes the description of 'the stage of history', and he thinks these five words are too tasteful.

Every person is just a passer-by on the stage, and there is only that stage that will never change, not the dazzling stars on the stage.

Old Emperor Liu, how prestigious? It can't resist the erosion of time. Ai Yan hated Liu Xian in his heart, it was this white-eyed wolf who destroyed the world of the Aixin Jueluo family. Yes, white-eyed wolf. The old and young of the Manchu Qing Dynasty liked to scold Liu Xian the most. And no matter what the reason for Liu Xian, he started in the Qing army, and finally replaced him against the Qing Dynasty, if it were not for the situation, the word 'rebellious' would be indispensable in the mouths of the people in the world.

It was Liu Xian who swept away the 'they' who should have dominated the situation and became an inconsequential passer-by in history. Although Ai Xiang recognized the greatness of Emperor Liu, and also believed that it would be difficult for Aixinjue Luo to bring China to its current status, and it was even certain that it would be absolutely impossible to restore China to its glory today, he still hated Liu Xian in his heart!

There is a poison in Ai Yan's heart, and the name of this poison is not 'right', but 'hatred'.

Because of hatred, everything can be turned a blind eye. Because of hatred, hostility becomes unjustifiable.

Therefore, when the old emperor abdicated more than two years ago, Ai Xiang was very happy. Now that Liu Xian is terminally ill and is about to die, Ai Xian is even happier in his heart.

But Ai Yan still has a brain. He knows very well that there is still the eyeliner of the new dynasty around his home and in his life, and if he dares to show a trace of happiness at this time, the emperor in the current position will definitely not tolerate him to live.

Ai Xiang was happy to see the death of his enemy, but he was never willing to take himself to the enemy's burial, let alone drag his family to see the king of Yama. So these days, the Ai family doesn't hear laughter and laughter, and the male owner looks very cold, and occasionally shows an embarrassed expression.

Therefore, the eyes of the Ministry of State Security have never stopped at the Ai family. This kind of moth that has been swept into the dust of history, as long as they don't come out and take the initiative to die, the new dynasty will not bother to care about them. However, such people have also provided a lot of jobs for the Ministry of State Security, very comfortable jobs, and the Ministry of State Security has used them to settle many related households.

There are too many employees in the Ministry of State Security and the Military Intelligence Bureau, which have a big business, and the two together, if you count all the top and bottom, I am afraid that there are 70,000 or 80,000 people. Everyone has their own family, either sons or nephews, and it is important for these people to enter the Ministry of National Security and the Military Intelligence Bureau. But some of them are really unbearable, and monitoring this settlement is simply a position tailor-made for them by God.

Liu Xian's critical illness has been playing for a month and a half, and his 'condition' has finally stabilized, but it seems that his health is worse.

"Well, that's good. The script of this movie is quite tasteful. There is a sense of tension about engaging in intelligence. But the image of this actor is too tall, no one is perfect. No matter how powerful the elite of the MI is, they are human beings, with flesh and blood and physiological needs, and women are indispensable for acting on the spot, and the editor is too evasive about this......"

In Xiangshan Beiju, the old emperor was talking to his granddaughter, who was a little red-skinned. (To be continued.) )
