Episode 174 The Empress also has to obey the law
"After the county lord of Hui'an and the Marquis of Tongling ran into the U.S. embassy to ask for refuge, the Ming Empire was certainly embarrassed, but the United States also seemed to be very difficult to do. Strictly speaking, the county lord and the 6 Xuanfeng cannot be regarded as 'political-political-refuge-refuge', because it is internationally recognized that they meet the criteria of political-political-refuge-refuge, at least because they are persecuted or have a clear possibility of persecution in their home country because of race, religion, membership in a particular social group, political ideology, etc. The county lord and the 6 Xuanfeng are because of marriage, so at most they can only be regarded as rubbing the edges. But the trouble is that at that time, the matter had already spread all over the world, and there was no way to hide it. If the Ming government and the royal family want to retreat with dignity, the only choice can only be to make a high posture in a dignified manner. β
Xiang Xiaoqiang smiled:
"What? Since they don't meet the requirements, Da Ming can ask the United States to refuse to contain them! Anyway, I don't care about the loss. β
Tang Yunsheng shook his head and sighed:
"The trouble is here. At that time, there was a high wave of solidarity with the young couple in the United States, with thousands of people holding signs in front of the White House and Congress holding signs that read...... 'Long live love,' 'Uncle Sam, help them,' and 'Don't let us down, Woodrow, don't let us down'βWoodrow Wilson was still president of the United States at the time. There is also a sign with two hearts depicted on it, each bound by chains...... Anyway, not only the United States, but basically every country, as long as the media is open, is one-sided in support of the county lord of Hui'an and the 6 election forwards, condemning the Ming government and the royal family. Another key point, my Ming has always been the most criticized by Western society, is that it still maintains polygamy.
"In addition, although the "Daming Marriage Law" stipulated the freedom of marriage at that time, the concept was still very particular about 'the life of the parents and the words of the matchmaker', and arranged marriages were very serious. Every year, there are many tragedies of suicide of young men and women. So in this kind of thing, we are naturally at a loss. Now there is a Hui'an county lord and 6 election forwards, so everyone regards this as a symbol of breaking through the shackles of tradition and fighting for the freedom of love. In addition, the county lord of Hui'an is also a county lord, and the foreigners are not so fine, the emperor's daughter and the king's daughter are called princesses, so foreigners seem to be the princess of Hui'an. Now it has become a perfect fairy tale for a princess and a commoner boy to fight for the freedom of love, especially the middle and lower class of citizens, who prefer this. They grew up listening to fairy tales about 'The Prince and Princess', so they all tried their best to support the young couple as if they were crazy.
"At that time, even if the U.S. government wanted not to contain them, the people would not let them. The reason is that this is a sideline. And the president of the United States has a lot of power in such a thing. Whether you are allowed to take refuge or not depends on your big stroke of the pen as president. At that time, President Wilson was already in his second term, and he didn't care about the votes. But his Democratic Party doesn't want to lose the hearts of the people, and there are still people in the party who want to run for election. The main supporters of the Democratic Party are the lower classes of the United States, and not only votes, but also political donations are drawn from unions and workers dollar by dollar. This kind of thing that can still be earned without a book makes no sense not to do it. So the White House soon announced that it would accept the refuge requests of the county lord of Hui'an and the 6 election forwards. President Wilson also announced that the young couple could come to the United States to marry and settle down if they wished. The U.S. will give them green cards, even passports. β
Xiang Xiaoqiang couldn't hold back his laughter at this time, and it was easy to say:
"Then what did Daming do at that time? Just endure it? Nor is the United States afraid that this will affect relations between the two countries? β
Tang Yunsheng also smiled:
"This kind of thing seemed quite faceless at the time, but now it's a joke. It does not involve any national interests, nor does it involve any national dignity. At that time, Da Ming was bent on establishing the image of a 'modern civilized country', so I can't say that this is about my national dignity, right? So what have you become? So, it's just two children eloping and running to someone else's house to hide. - It's just that the hiding place is not like that. β
"What happened then?"
Later, Daming didn't want to lose points in the world, so he had to raise his profile. Moreover, the Empress Dowager Xiaohui and some enlightened ministers also knew that this was a good opportunity to put the "Marriage Law" into practice and let the "freedom of marriage" take root in the hearts of the people in the country. In addition, if you cling to the face of the royal family, maybe the county lord of Hui'an and the Marquis of Tongling will really go to the United States to get married and settle down. When the time comes, take a U.S. passport, and the dignified lord and marquis of Daming will all become Americans. At that time, the Ming royal family is self-contained!
Therefore, the Ming government soon announced: since the "Ming Marriage Law" protects the freedom of marriage of every citizen, and the constitution does not stipulate that members of the royal family do not belong to the category of "Ming citizens", then there is no reason for the royal family to override the "Marriage Law". At the same time, the spokesman of the royal family also came out to clarify: The Ming royal family has never intended to interfere with the personal choice of the county lord of Hui'an. The county lord of Hui'an can marry the person she loves. In the past, it was purely a matter between the father and daughter of the King of Yanping and the Lord of Hui'an, and the royal family didn't know. Now that they know, the royal family will also support the choice of the county lord of Hui'an. β
Xiang Xiaoqiang's eyes widened and he smiled:
"What, that's it?"
Tang Yunsheng said with a smile:
"Isn't that the end of it? After both the government and the royal family made a statement, the two young men went home separately. After that, he began to appear publicly as a lover on various occasions. In the second half of 1918, Zheng 6 and the two families were engaged. Then in the second year, the year when the "Versailles Contract" was signed, the lord of Hui'an married the Marquis of Tongling 6 Xuanfeng. β
"And then the 6 pickers became the 'best horse in history'?"
"Yes."
Xiang Xiaoqiang laughed. After laughing, he leaned against the sand and exclaimed:
"Ah...... Go to a foreign embassy for politics, politics, asylum, and refuge...... That's a good idea......"
Tang Yunsheng Zhengsedao:
"What do you want to do? I'm telling you, this is no joke. You're not the same as the 6 Pickers. β
Xiang Xiaoqiang hurriedly suppressed his laughter and promised repeatedly:
Tang Gong rest assured, the student understands, and the student is talking and playing...... Hehe, students hold important public positions, not non-governmental people like 6 Xuanfeng...... Once the students step out of the Ming Dynasty, they represent the Ming Empire. 6. Choosing a front to take refuge is refuge, and I take refuge is a defection. β
Tang Yunsheng stared at him for a moment before he nodded and said with satisfaction:
"Well, it's good to know."
He paused, then said meaningfully:
"You know, I'm not telling you this story, it's not just a joke. Since you are now planning to marry Princess Liaoyang first, and you don't plan to give up Your Majesty, then...... Although we find it difficult, we have come to this point and there is no turning back. I am telling you this story to let you know that in a situation like yours, the Ming Dynasty is not without precedent. Although he is a princess and a princess, and you are a princess and an empress, it is much more difficult than him, but it is not impossible. You also have an advantage over 6 picks. You have made great contributions to the country and have a high reputation among the people. In the eyes of the people, you Xiang Xiaoqiang is a legend, and you have achieved it by your own birth and death. This point cannot be compared to the 'second son' of 6 Xuanfeng.
"There is also a very critical second point: 6 Xuanfeng's girlfriend is just a county lord, and there are also King Yanping, Your Majesty, and the Queen Mother above the county lord. These people are all opposed, and they are all strong. They want to combine, but the resistance from the top is too great, so they can only make this risky move. And your girlfriend is His Majesty himself. His Majesty's parents are dead, and there is no one of higher status to oppose it. The only resistance you may encounter is from below. Compared to the resistance above, the resistance below is much weaker and easier to overcome. So, you can find the right way to perfection. On the military's side, a few of our old men will support you when the time comes. Stand out! But don't make any trouble! You are all heavyweights of the Empire, but you are no better than those two, you are fooling around. You're amazing. β
Xiang Xiaoqiang hurriedly smiled:
"Thank you Tang Gong, the students will remember it. β¦β¦ Hehe, Tang Gong is too worried, the two of us, an empress and a commander of the People's Guard, can't we also go to foreign embassies to ask for refuge. That's really the only one in ancient and modern times. β
Seriously, Tang Yunsheng's "glorious deeds" of his ancestors, as well as his last words, really inspired Xiang Xiaoqiang.
Oh, yes! Tang Yunsheng is right, compared with the 6 selection forwards, although the difficulty is much greater, but the advantage is also a lot greater. I Xiang Xiaoqiang is a hero, with a halo on his head, and he is a "self-made" myth. Not only did I go behind enemy lines twice in a legendary way, heroically saving the United States, but I also made great contributions to the country several times. Besides, my prestige towards Xiaoqiang is not only at home. In Nanyang, the three words "Xiang Xiaoqiang" are also god-like existences. When the time comes, these will become powerful bargaining chips.
And 6 Xuanfeng, that kid is just a "rich second generation".
Moreover, since the Ming Empire has already produced one "most bullish horse", it will not mind producing a second one. Anyway, the royal family, ministers, and the entire public have already been vaccinated, so it will not be as difficult to accept as the first time. In addition, this story tells us that Daming still cares a lot about his international image. It attaches great importance to whether it is an open and civilized country in the eyes of all countries in the world. In order to show the world that their laws are not waste paper and that the royal family will not be above the law, the Ming royal family and the government have "generously agreed" that the princess and the county lord will marry a person at the same time. In the same way, it will eventually "agree" to the princess, princess and empress marrying a person at the same time. Haha, this is a good opportunity for Daming to show the world that "the queen must also obey the law".
