C828 Unexpected information (1/2)
Finding a European princess for Zai Chun was something that Xiao Letian had long planned. To achieve his goal, Xiao Letian had always been secretly instigating Western female beauties for Zai Chun.
The female statues from the Roman era in ancient Greece were the type of female statues that would be scolded by corrupt scholars. Xiao Letian made a few big picture books for Zai Chun to see, maybe the reason why Zai Chun was so lustful was because of Xiao Letian.
Xiao Letian bought many replicas of Renaissance oil paintings. His goal was to tell Zai Chun what was the true meaning of health and beauty.
The results were obvious, of course. Zai Chun immediately tried to avoid the girl with the small feet as she was so disgusted that she couldn't eat anymore, and the Manchu woman who was smeared with the white of the dead.
At that time, Qing dynasty's aesthetic appreciation of women was very abnormal. Little feet, flat chest, barrel body, only a thin person was close to the later generations aesthetic, but this thin person couldn't be as thin as a flat plate.
The truly beautiful girls were all slender and exquisite. They had a chest and buttocks, and even had to put their waists in. Their long legs were tall and slender, and they each had their own unique characteristics. How beautiful was this?! But in the Qing people most revered is very thin very thin flat body, pigeon breast is the most beautiful.
My God, how big can a pigeon's milk be? Where could the white rabbit of later generations attract people?
Xiao Letian had told Zai Chun before that the future world was a world of national integration. Since he had admitted this point and accepted it happily, why couldn't the Emperor marry a European princess?
In fact, it is not difficult to marry a European princess. The later recognized European grandmother Queen Victoria, who is now the Queen of England, grew up in Germany and later became the Queen of England.
In the current Europe, there were countless nobles who opened and closed their branches and leaves in the Habsburg, and many of the so-called kings controlled a territory of a county. In the current Europe, there were countless of so-called princesses in the Habsburg, and with his identity as a Emperor of Great Qing Kingdom, even marrying a princess from Victoria would not be a problem.
Using a European princess in exchange for a long friendship with the Great Qing, the Europeans would calculate this debt, and very well.
Ceng Guofan's reaction was very normal, because he was, after all, a Gui Chen of an ancient world. In his mind, the emperor could only marry Chinese people, but Xiao Letian's one sentence made him give up on this idea.
”There are no Chinese in all of the empresses in the Great Qing, okay? Most of them were Mongolian … ”Didn't you know that you only have wishful thinking?”
Ceng Guofan let out a long sigh, ”Alright, I think your idea is pretty good too, but have you considered the objections within the Manchu? ”They will agree …”
Xiao Letian laughed even more, ”How did you forget? We were just discussing how to help His Majesty fight against the conservative factions in the Manchu. We were already ready to fight for our lives, why would we care about their objections? The Gun is pressing down on their heads, I do want to see who dares to object! ”
After Ceng Guofan heard this, he waved his hand and turned to leave. He let out a long sigh and said, ”I'm old, I'm really old. Let's do it this way. After four years of gambling, I can still afford to wait! ”
Now it was 1868, four years later, 1872. Zai Chun was 16 years old, which was also a year of his personal governance. History had already turned a corner, and the Tongzhi Emperor no longer chose to be a puppet emperor of the Manchu.
