C630 The Road to Learning (2/2)

”Your Majesty has forced this old servant to submit …” ”I am the Emperor's servant ah, I should kneel, I should kneel!”

”I told you to get up. You must be very old now. I'm still young, it's only right for me to respect you! ”Someone, come …” The little emperor waved his hand, and Er Mao carried a large tray filled with eagles.

”It's the new year. I'm going out to study, and I can't protect you anymore. I'll give you a few silver coins as a reward. Consider it my old age. Come and take it …” With that, he stuffed five hawks into the old man's hands.

The old man was so moved that he began to cry out loud. Wasn't this the Saint in the play? Do you think I, this old man, can just kneel down and pay the money back?

Tongzhi slowly walked along the group of people who kneeled down. He personally supported all the older people with his words and gave them five silver coins as a reward.

The children of the horn also had prizes. The little Emperor rubbed their heads and said a few auspicious words, then gave them a silver coin as a New Year's gift.

”Grow up well and be healthy. He will definitely be a good student in the future … I'll give you one pill, but I'll also give you one! ”

”Elders, I am going on a long journey to study. Please do not forget my people …” Don't forget about me, Ai Xinjueluozaichun, don't forget about me, the Tongzhi Emperor! ”

The s behind the Tongzhi all kneeled on the ground and cried bitterly. Even they were moved by the little Emperor.

This was a show, a show Xiao Letian had rehearsed earlier. Back in the ancient times, the people of China had seen this kind of show that involved people, all of them were moved to the point that they were in pain.

Lei Ao and Ma Xiu recorded everything in the crowd. They believed that it wouldn't be long before the photos of the emperor's loved ones would spread across the entire Great Qing, causing the prestige of the emperor to rise greatly.

This was a precaution from Xiao Letian. He knew that when the emperor left the center of power, many ambitious people would naturally jump out. Forget about others, just the Prince Kung alone would not be able to guarantee his loyalty.

Right now, the only thing that could help the little emperor was his reputation among the masses. As long as his reputation was raised to a high level, the power of the people would be the little emperor's greatest support.

It was useless to say anything kind, but to say something that was warm in the winter would be to hurt June's cold! Especially in the feudal dynasty, the emperor had long been a legend. The Son of Heaven loved his people so much that he could imagine the citizens today becoming the loyal followers of the emperor.

The Qing Dynasty's Beijing was not as big as the later generations. When the 80,000 silver coins had been distributed, the Guandong Gate was already very close by.

Now, everyone knew that the little Emperor was a saint with an old and tender heart. In the ordinary values of the people, an emperor with an old and tender heart was a benevolent king who was not a saint, but a wise king who was hard to find.

The long street was filled with the sound of weeping. The little emperor's charisma had infected everyone. There was only one shout in the entire city, ”Long live the safe journey …” ”Safe journey!”

There were wailing commoners everywhere, roaring and howling. The people on the street were kowtowing and going crazy!

Xiao Letian was touched as well. He rubbed the tears at the corner of his eyes as he thought, ”Damn it, how come I, an iron man who was stained by the tears from her previous life's movies and news shows, am also touched today? Sigh … The citizens of this era are too naive, deceiving honest people really feels sinful! ”

That's right, in this era, the common people had never seen news or movies, or even experienced the guidance of public opinion in the newspapers. People were simple and kind, a little bit old-fashioned.

Just as Xiao Letian was thinking, a group of Scholars with white scarves rushed out from the crowd. The one in the lead was Weng Tonghe who was recuperating at home.

The old man was also subdued by the little Emperor's act, he cried until his nose was leaking, and shouted at Xiao Letian while standing in front of the honor guard.

”Wuwuwu …” Xiao Letian! ”Your Majesty is a Saint Lord from all ages. If you let your majesty suffer even the slightest bit of injury, then this old man will eat your flesh and drink your blood …”

Weng Tonghe roared until his face became distorted, he knelt in front of the Tongzhi Emperor and fiercely smashed his forehead on the ground, ”Your majesty … You must take care of yourself. I ruthlessly fail to protect my ability to do anything, but how can I not protect the emperor?! ”

Saying that, Weng Tonghe suddenly brought a group of Qing Liu Han forest, and rushed to Xiao Letian's front, scaring Dragon Lord to the point of standing in front of the prime minister. However, this time the old man was not here to fight, they actually pushed the jade pillar on top of the mountain and knelt down towards Xiao Letian.

”Prime Minister Xiao of the East China Sea, we are not your match. We are kneeling for the Emperor's sake … A journey of ten thousand li was a journey of study, filled with countless hardships and hardships. I beg you, for the sake of the hundreds of millions of people, for the sake of the imperial government … ”Please take good care of His Majesty. He's still young …”

The group of Gui Chen wailed loudly. Everyone kneeled down towards Xiao Letian.

The ministers of the imperial court who were preparing to send off the emperor in front of the Guandong Gate, Ceng Guofan, Zuo Zongtang, Li Hongzhang … Prince Kung, Prince of Alcohol and the rest could no longer hold back their emotions as they all knelt on the ground.

”Xiao Letian... I will entrust His Majesty to you … Please treat His Majesty well! ”

Tongzhi left the capital with Xiao Letian in the year 1866, and embarked on a long and long journey of learning.
