C825 metavirin (1/2)
Zai Chun heard Jiu Shuai's threatening words, and his heart calmed down. Negotiating was like this, they were not afraid of the other party haggling, and furthermore, they were not afraid of the other party spouting nonsense, the more people care about certain things, the more emotional they would become, and being concerned would lead to chaos.
That way, you wouldn't be able to tell if the other party was satisfied with the negotiation. The more polite he got, the more you would be unable to guess the other party's bottom line, and now that Jiu Shuai had actually said such outrageous words, Zai Chun knew that he had been tempted.
Master, your disciple will not disappoint you. After learning from you for a year and adding on my righteous name as the Great Qing Emperor, I don't believe I won't be able to take this alliance.
Zai Chun smiled slightly, ”Rebel? Whose rebellion? ”Do you want to create your own rebellion...”
Jiu Shuai was stunned for a moment. He did not understand what Zai Chun meant, but Ceng Guofan's eyes lit up. ”Your Majesty, you can speak freely today.
Zai Chun cupped his hands across his chest and said, ”I am just borrowing a flower to offer to the Buddha, I will first declare that I am not a demon. I will not be able to comprehend these principles myself, but I must thank my two masters!”
”Ever since I was young, I've always been instilled with the principles of the sovereign power of the heavens. I've always thought that being the emperor was the biggest thing in the world. My words are golden words …”
”But when I wanted to eat a bowl of the legendary, delicious stewed meat with cooked meat and noodles, I realized that it wasn't even that simple. I couldn't even order a few eunuchs, the royal kitchen didn't listen to me, the Ministry of Internal Affairs didn't listen to me, the eunuchs by my side still didn't listen to me!”
”Even Hairy # 2 who recommended the food to me was called to Ministry of Internal Affairs and scolded. He was punished to kneel under the sun for two hours, hehe …” Zai Chun laughed.
”Since then, I've been confused. Could everything Master taught me be a lie?” It wasn't until I left the Forbidden City and received my master's teachings and personally saw the structure of the Japan that I understood … So those words were really lies! ”
Zai Chun said with a wry smile, ”I finally understand. Three thousand years in the major change, not only had it changed the rise of people's intelligence, it had also changed the way the monarchs of the Middle Age control their power.”
”The decentralization of power is the mainstream of the future world. We believe that the Great Qing should do the same, the invasion of the westernization and the internal strife of the long-haired Twisted Army have caused the centralization of power in the Great Qing Dynasty to crumble and fall, and the decentralization of power to the various powers. What we need to do now is to follow the trend and not act against the heavens.”
Ceng Guofan's eyes lit up, ”Decentralization? How? ”Who should we split it with?”
Zai Chun laughed, ”Then we will first have to see how many powerhouses are currently in the Great Qing …”
After a sleepless night, Zai Chun was no longer the kid who shouted excitedly at the sight of the hot air balloon and the telegraph line in the Forbidden City. He had already become a politician that could negotiate with a faction.
Xiao Letian sat at the side of the window, and spoke out the same words as Zai Chun almost at the same speed, but somehow, the master and disciple had a tacit understanding.
”Right now, the Great Qing Dynasty is divided into four powers, and the Manchu is one of them. In other words, it's a noble Military groups with eight flags. If you talk about the bigger picture, all the tribes that hid would be included in the power of the Manchu …”
