The Qing Dynasty has changed!

Although the emperor is still the emperor, he no longer has the right to be, he is just a symbol. It is the Prime Minister and the Cabinet that are really in power, it is the Parliament. The first prime minister was the thirteenth elder brother, and the prime minister was Ximen Yue.

After the establishment of the new regime, the prime minister and the prime minister vigorously developed industry and science and technology, and many talents were brought in from Western countries. In just ten years, the development of the Qing Dynasty has been faster than in the previous hundred years.

The Qing Dynasty formed its own navy, and their weapons and ships made the people of Western countries intimidating and discouraged their coveting of the Qing Dynasty.

On the streets of the capital, an old man in his fifties walked slowly, as if he was taking a leisurely walk. This man dragged a small pigtail behind the bare head, and he was out of place with many people on the street.

Passers-by knew that this was an old-fashioned school as soon as they saw the old man's hairstyle. Since the New Deal F issued the Retention Order, many old-school Manchus have been reluctant to implement it. New Deal F advocates democracy and freedom, and there is no punishment or coercion for them. However, many people end up keeping their hair after seeing that everyone else has a good hairstyle. Only a group of people who are very stubborn when they are older will still wear pigtail braids.

For such people, passers-by did not look down on them, but just regarded them as strange.

The old man was very calm, not annoyed by the gaze of everyone, but his eyes were very strange, uh, it should be said that everything on the street was very strange to him.

Pedestrians on the street are walking on the right side, making the road look smooth; there are very few horse-drawn carriages on the road, some are just bus carriages, there is a fixed route of travel, and you can get to the place you want to go by paying a penny to make a toll; the most on the road, in addition to walking pedestrians, are people who ride bicycles-bicycle manufacturing technology is provided by Su Qingni friendly, and she also provides a lot of primary technology that can be used in this world at this stage--there is also a tricycle, which can both sit on people and pull goods in the back.

The shops on both sides are inlaid with glass. Nowadays, glass is no longer the exclusive product of rich and noble families, and has become a cheap product that everyone can afford. A child ran past the old man with a stack of papers in his hand, shouting as he ran: "Sell newspapers, sell newspapers!" Today's news, the Yuanqing Kingdom founded a country in the Americas, and is about to send envoys to the Qing Dynasty to scream. ”

The old man recognized the child. He heard that the Xinzheng Mansion not only set up a welfare home to house orphans and the elderly, but also asked the orphans to work as newspaper boys, whose daily job was to sell newspapers. The orphans earn money from this work, and when they leave the welfare home, they can also have money to support themselves.

"Today's news, the Yuanqing Kingdom was founded in the Americas, and it is about to send envoys to the Qing Dynasty to scream!"

The cry of the newsboy aroused the interest of many people.

"What is the Far Qing Kingdom? It is only one word short of our Great Qing Kingdom. ”

"The name of the country established by foreigners is the language of foreigners, but those translators translate the name into a name that is somewhat similar to our Qing Dynasty. ”

"No, I've heard that. The Yuanqing Kingdom is called the Yuanqing Kingdom, and the emperors there are people from the past of our Qing Dynasty. ”

"What? wouldn't it?"

"Which brother is so powerful?"

"I heard that the founding emperor of the Yuanqing Kingdom is the brother of our Qing Emperor and the Prime Minister, and the eighth son of Kangxi. ”

"Really?"

"Awesome!"

"Kangxi's sons are all so powerful, first there are the current emperor and prime minister, and now there is the founding emperor of the Yuanqing Kingdom. ”

“......”

“......”

When the old man heard everyone's discussion, his face changed, and he immediately called out to the newsboy, took out three copper plates from his arms, handed them to the newsboy, and bought a newspaper.

The newsboy took the copper plate and was stunned, but put it in his pocket and continued to sell the newspaper.

The old man opened the newspaper, searched it again, and soon saw a report about the Yuanqing Kingdom. This report is very detailed, starting from the landing of eighty or ninety-three elder brothers in the Americas, describing how they fought for territory with other foreigners, built their own territories, rescued the natives of the Americas from the foreigners, won the support and recognition of the natives, and finally seized all the territory of South America and established the Yuanqing Kingdom.

"The eighth, the ninth, the tenth. The old man muttered in a low voice, the expression on his face extremely complicated.

When he was complacent in order to get the throne, the eighty-ninety-three people had already made up their minds to create their own foundation and become the founding king who was not inferior to their ancestors; when he only looked at the one acre and three points of land in the country, the thirteen had already opened his eyes to the world, which caused him to no longer recognize himself as a king......

Have you been a failure in this life?

"Hehe, hehe......" The old man laughed, but it was definitely not a happy laugh, his laughter made people feel very uncomfortable.

At this moment, a woman walked up to the old man.

The appearance of the woman is about forty years old, and her appearance is beautiful and graceful, and it can be seen that she was a big beauty when she was young.

The old man looked up at the show girl, first startled and then calmed down.

"You're here to kill me?" asked the old man. He was not afraid of death, and now that he is like this, it is more painful to live than to die. Watching the Qing Dynasty get better and better alive and seeing the establishment of the Yuanqing Kingdom will only make him more obviously aware of how failed he is in life and work, and he can't compare to a few brothers. This is what makes him the most unbearable.

"I was here to kill you, but seeing you the way you look now, I changed my mind. The woman smiled, "You are more painful to live than to die, why should I kill you?" ”

"It's good if you're happy. The old man only said lightly, and seeing that the woman had no intention of killing herself, he simply turned around and left.

Not long after leaving, the old man was stopped by a middle-aged man: "Fourth brother, long time no see!"

The old man looked at the long line of carriages behind the middle-aged man, as if he was going out of the house, and asked, "Where are you going?"

The middle-aged man said: "Of course, I went to the Yuanqing Kingdom to join the starling." When I went there, I begged the starling to let me be a general again. Starlings must be much more generous than you. ”

After speaking, the middle-aged man waved his hand and left with his wife, concubine, children and subordinates.

The old man looked at the back of the middle-aged man and snorted coldly. Do you really think that the eighth is a saint? The old fourteen used to calculate the eighth, and thought that the eighth didn't know anything? still want the eighth to use him again? Dream!

The old man walked around the street for a long time, clearly saw the changes in the capital, and didn't know what it was like in his heart. He walked slowly to his home, which was in the Forbidden City, but there was no longer the majesty that once symbolized imperial power. His back was so rickety in the rays of the setting sun......
