C325 Xiao Letian died? (2/2)
Especially in the Fuqing area, it could be said that everything was going smoothly. In half a year's time, most of the various roads, drainage channels and factory foundations had been built. Every ten days, San Ye would give Head Office a set of paper money, and the joy in his words made him drink a few more cups.
The best entertainment in the Paleogene could be said to be watching a big show. The empress dowagers set up a stage beside the North Sea and spread to the famous ten theaters in the capital, enthusiastically singing for three whole days. Not only did it make the imperial family happy, it also made the civil and military people happy.
In a short period of time, the sound of bamboo could be heard incessantly beside the North Sea. All kinds of scenes were being played, and along the ten stages of the competition, everyone was trying their best to find a way to attract the attention of the civil and military officials.
The Little Emperor and the empress dowagers had never seen anyone singing like this before, even the entire imperial court, including the civil and military officials, were all a little dumbfounded. When they looked back and asked around, they found out that this method was actually used by the Little Emperor's most popular eunuch, Hairy # 2.
”Greetings to the Old Buddha, the Emperor, and all the lords! ”I was just randomly thinking about the skills of a servant. Only in a competition would I know how good his skills are, since all ten great troupes are acting at the same time, so everyone can look at whatever they want. Whoever has the most people under the stage will get a ranking, right?”
”There is a competitive spirit in them, do you think they won't work hard? I think in the next three days, they will need to take out all of their ancestor's unique skills. If they can earn the title of number one, then their troupe will become the most famous in the capital! ”
After Mao's explanation, everyone suddenly came to a realization. The two empress dowager happily announced that he would be allowed to hang the title of the Royal Theatre for one year in order to once again take the top spot next to the North Sea.
The honor of having a royal title was something that the disciples of Pear Garden did not even dare to think about. The class leaders had taken out all of their family's secret skills on the spot, and the commotion around the North Sea was even more lively than during the new year.
”Ladies and gentlemen, please raise your goblets and congratulate the empress dowager! Congratulations to the Emperor! For the good of our Great Clear society! ”” Oh, God! May I live for ten thousand years, ten thousand years! ”
”Wishing me the most happiness, ten thousand years, ten thousand years!”
Amidst the cheers, the empress dowagers felt as if he had drank a big bowl of alcohol, and his heart was intoxicated with emotion, ”The various subjects are all so loyal, I has already seen it.
Ci Xi roared, causing all the civil and military officials to boil over. Being able to share the glory and wealth under the influence of the royal family, this was a blessing cultivated over several lifetimes. As for how hard life for the peasants and how ambitious overseas Chinese are, that has nothing to do with us. We only want the wealth we have today.
The atmosphere had already exploded. Tongzhi's rise had just been advertised by the scholars amidst such a fervent atmosphere filled with fresh flowers and cooking oil. Who exactly did the Sheng Shi Empire prosper in? How many people were in mourning? This wasn't something that these big shots were willing to consider.
Just as empress dowagers was enjoying his peace of mind, a few eunuchs suddenly ran in from the direction of the southern palace gate.
In this chaotic situation, who wouldn't notice the few eunuchs' hurried footsteps, but Hairy # 2's eyes were extremely sharp, and he saw that An Dehai's head was covered in sweat with a single glance.
An Dehai completely forgot to bow, he walked towards Ci Xi with large strides, and whispered a few words into his ear, then handed him a roll of paper. When Ci Xi opened the scroll and read it, he did not even use half a minute, she was so shocked that he had already started fighting.
Ci An was also stunned, she looked at Ci Xi in shock, and couldn't help but ask: ”What's wrong? What exactly happened? ”
Ci Xi could not tell whether he was in a good mood or bad mood, so he turned and dragged Ci An to a room where a eunuch lived.
”My good sister, quickly take a look at this. This is the latest newspaper that the French Merchant Shipping brought back. That Xiao Letian might already be dead …”
”Huh?” Ci An screamed and snatched the piece of paper from Ci Xi's hands. Opening it, he discovered that it was filled with Chinese characters. Ci An was not stupid, she knew that this was the most popular newspaper in Europe, when she saw the photo, she was so shocked that his jaw almost dislocated.
”Is this Xiao Letian? Did he get stabbed in the chest? ”Could it be that he's already dead …”
The newspaper that was in empress dowagers's hands was the French newspaper, Figaro. The picture on it was of course, the one with the bayonet stabbing into the heart that Xiao Letian had arranged for him.
”Hahaha …” ”Hahaha …” Ci Xi laughed until he was mad, ”Retribution, retribution, this is retribution! I never thought that this troublesome grandson would be taken away in the end, and he would actually die on the edge of the ocean … … Great Qing was blessed, all the citizens were blessed! ”Great …”
