C630 The Road to Learning (1/2)

Streams of torrents came out from the streets and alleys of the capital city. The new army that was stationed here, under the complex gazes of the citizens and the neat slogans, started to gather in the middle of the streets and formed a bigger torrent, ready to set off for Guandong Gate.

At that moment, the atmosphere in the capital turned heavy. Everyone knew that this day had arrived, and their hearts were filled with complicated emotions. They were a little ruthless towards the New Army. After all, Eight Flags Soldier on the streets, who had lost all their thumbs, were all villains created by the New Army.

Furthermore, the citizens of this era have not completely abandoned the Qing Dynasty, they feel that the new army is a foreign army, seizing the Beijing would make everyone lose face.

But the changes brought by the new army were real. When the price of rice returned to the golden age, the sulcus longus had become a tourist area. All the streets and alleys had been renovated, and the citizens had never seen such a clean Beijing.

Furthermore, Xiao Letian had kidnapped their Sacred Monarch, which made everyone uncomfortable and it made everyone feel that it was strange.

In the end, those women with long hair, short vision, and children eating feces were the first to run over. Those women with red cuff and children who had eaten Newcomer Sweets were the first to rush over.

”Are you really leaving? Are you coming back? From now on, does the Prime Minister not care about us anymore? ”

”Uncle Bing, you're still giving us candy, are you going to tell us a story …”

There were no answers to any of the questions, and only silence responded to them. Very quickly, the children started crying, and the red cuff aunties also started to cry. Since ancient times, they had never seen an iron army, a new army that never disturbed the citizens' strict discipline, leaving today.

Once the gate to one's emotions was released, it would be contagious. The grief of the women and children would affect the men as well. When they thought about the months that the Prime Minister had brought everyone, they could not help but feel grateful.

They saw the figures of the Shuntian Palace yamen runners in the crowd, as well as the hateful gazes of the minister of nine city gates soldiers. The citizens did not dare to express their feelings excessively, as they knew that once they spoke the wrong words today, the only thing waiting for them would be revenge in the future.

The imperial government hadn't done anything beautiful in the past five years, especially for Manchu dynasty. They couldn't afford to offend Xiao Letian, but they could take it out on the commoners, especially this group of commoners who allowed Xiao Letian to grow fat.

The rice shop along the street had finally opened again. The boss filled with hatred was holding onto a wooden board with a price of 100 taels of rice in his hands. He was waiting for the new army to leave and was about to hang up the signboard.

”This bunch of lowly commoners, after eating for several months and raising themselves fat enough, your father here will help you lose weight!”

Furthermore, the other officers in uniform who were hiding in the crowd, had long planned for them to raise the tax on the New Army. The money that Xiao Letian had poured for the citizens would be returned to the Imperial Court in less than half a year.

Just as the foreign citizens indicated that the time was 9 in the morning, the Great Qing Sect's gate at the south side of Tiananmen Square suddenly opened up. The yellow robed Emperor Tongzhi and Xiao Letian, under the escort of a group of new army, finally walked onto the streets of Beijing and appeared in front of the commoners.

All of Beijing's citizens were stirred, they all knelt down on both sides of the street and cried out, many of them were so excited that their eyes were filled with tears.

”Long live the Emperor! Long live! ”Long live!”

”Your Majesty, your journey was smooth sailing!”

The late Qing was at the end of the reign of the Manchu, and the more it was at this time, the more the ruler's heart closed off. It had been a long time since the people of the Beijing saw the figure of the emperor, on the contrary, during the golden age of Kang Gan, the emperor would often appear in the people.

Sometimes, the decline would start from a closed door mentality. When the rulers of the empire were raised by the women of the inner palace, they would never leave the capital. Such an emperor would only bring about endless decline and death.

During this period of time, the aura around Tongzhi completely changed. When he was staying in the Jingshan, he could play with guns, and the new army's most elite Sharpshooters could be used as instructors, so it was enough for the little emperors to play with all kinds of rifles in the world.

and the other westerner brought along a pile of photos of the exotic lands. As long as Xiao Letian was free, he would bring the little Emperor along to the North Sea to roller coaster and hold a barbeque. He would listen to Xiao Letian boasting about the beautiful scenery of the outer seas while eating.

He could casually grab a photo and give the little emperor a lecture for a long time without acting like he was a Imperial Advisor at all.

Xiao Letian was very clear about his children's mental state. A ten year old child, if he wasn't rebellious, what would he be waiting for? Only by following his emotions and establishing the rules could he achieve twice the results with half the effort. It was not a small matter.

In just a short ten days of effort, the emperor had already prostrated himself to Xiao Letian, making Xiao Letian seem like the number one Imperial Advisor to the little emperor's side.

”Your Majesty, you can wave your hand to the commoners. Remember the method I taught you. Don't be afraid. Anything you do, your majesty, is perfectly justified …” Xiao Letian reminded her in a low voice.

The little emperor's face was flushed red. He nodded and raised his hand to stop the guard of honor. He dismounted from his horse and walked to the side of the road in front of a kneeling old man.

”Elder, you are too old, don't kneel to the ground and feel cold …” Please get up! Please rise! ” After saying that, the little Emperor went to support the old man.

The old man who was kneeling on the ground was just an ordinary Eight Flag idler who had never done anything good in his life. When he saw that the Emperor was actually supporting him, his knees turned weak from tears.
