C628 A Perfect Capital Strategy (1/2)
Xiao Letian's intentions were completely exposed at this moment. He did not hesitate to make a big move and even used his killing move, the hot air balloon. The subtext was very clear, the little emperor was definitely going to snatch him away, even if he did not bring the people that were going to be the emperor of Tongzhi today, he would take away the little emperor's heart.
This was a scheme, a righteous scheme. When the hot air balloon began to slow down in the sky above the Forbidden City and slowly fall down, the pressure brought upon by the new technology became increasingly intense.
Weng Tonghe looked at the group of kneeling Qing Liu Han and Han Lin, his mouth full of bitterness and depression. At this moment, no one dared to say that Xi Wen was just lying, as the reality of life had appeared in front of them, crushing all of their arrogance.
So it turns out that humans could truly fly in the sky, then perhaps the person that Xiao Letian spoke of was also capable of swimming in the ocean? This was the power of Western learning? Could it be that he could really change the world?
Weng Tonghe had never felt such a failure in his entire life, to the point where he actually had the slightest chance of turning the tables around. Xiao Letian looked at them and sighed in his heart. Actually, Xiao Letian did not have any resistance towards the Confucianism, instead, he still respected it. After all, the Confucianism had developed a set of practical social ethics and morals standards.
In the Middle Ages, China's society was the most stable, and the relationship between people was also the most harmonious. This was an undeniable achievement.
Who among us doesn't want to be filial? Who doesn't want a blind date? A righteous and intelligent person is a virtue worthy of praise in any society.
Perhaps the Confucian school was already old, or perhaps the Cheng Zhu School and the eight texts promoted by the Zhu Ming Dynasty had spoiled the Confucian school. The Confucian school gradually lost its aggressive, harmonious atmosphere, and instead gained a few of the old people's bad habits of being the number one in the world.
From the start, Xiao Letian did not want to oppose the Confucianism. He just could not bear to see the Confucianism's unique face and knew that it had fallen behind by being beaten up. However, for their academic position, they would rather drag China into the abyss than accept new ideas.
From ancient times until now, academic struggles had always been bloody. The Confucians had already embarked on a path of no return in order to obtain their own rule. They would rather see their nation sink than to give up their inherent rights.
”You should all be glad, glad that you met me, Xiao Letian. If we still follow the original trajectory of history, the New Culture Movement will completely tear you all apart, tearing apart your essences and dregs and throwing them into the sewers. When that day comes, you all can guess how the word death is written!”
”Hehe, but you, Weng Tonghe, do not care, you only care about the power of your group, after you die, even if the waters will surge, you do not care!”
The other academies were all sour and rotten scholars who were bullshitting and had completely lost hope. In comparison, the ten year old Emperor Tongzhi was the most pleasing to the eyes, and looking at the probing look in his eyes, Xiao Letian knew that Xiao Jin Long had already taken the bait.
The hot air balloon dropped lower and lower, finally stopping at a height of thirty meters in the air. A few cables were thrown out of the basket, and the new army on the ground hurriedly placed ten sandbags on top of it.
The banner that belonged to the emperor was floating just above the heads of the people. The thirty meters distance between them allowed them to see everything clearly. The officials who had good things to do could only shout into the sky.
”Hello …” You just flew in the clouds, did you ever see a god... Have you seen the Heavenly Palace … ”
”That's right …” Did you see Chang'e? ”
Ye Qiu and the others were so cold that even two layers of fur couldn't block it. In broad daylight, you want me to go find Chang'e? Even if you want to look for him, it's only at night.
Ye Qiu and Steamed Bun couldn't answer such a brainless question. They could only shrug their shoulders in apology. At this time, Xiao Letian bowed and greeted the little emperor while the iron was hot.
”Your Majesty, this subject has displayed the Gun cannon and the radio to you, and now you see the hot air balloon … ”All of these are power, a very pure power. When these powers are combined together, you can naturally control the power of the empire!”
”Your Majesty, don't be muddle-headed. Power is not something that can be obtained with just a few words of a saint. If the words of a saint are good enough, why would there be a change of dynasty?”
”When it is time for you to make your choice, why not give it a try, Your Majesty? If you want to know the taste of Riko, you have to taste it yourself! ”
Just as the little emperor was hesitating, Ci Xi screamed miserably, ”No … Huang'er, do not listen to him. Do not speak, do not say anything! ”
As a mother, Tongzhi was extremely curious. As a mother, she was very clear about what was going on, she could already see the determination in his child's eyes, and could already smell the danger in the air.
The current Ci Xi was like a person who had fallen into water who wanted to grab onto their last straw of straw. She wanted to use her family's feelings to tie her son up: ”If you dare to leave the Forbidden City, I'll leave and die here …” Ci Xi pointed to the white jade railings like a crazy woman.
The little emperor's tears flowed down his face, ”It's this again, this again …” Mother, you want to lock me up in these four corners of the sky.
