C1072 The order of equality of all citizens! (1/2)
Outside the Forbidden City, he was no longer the little child emperor who had been tricked by the Confucian Scholars and servants. He had long known about the hardships of the masses.
Let the people under his rule live a better life, even better than the people under his master's rule? This was an impossible task.
Under this situation, the human heart would always be able to see who was good and who was bad. Zai Chun really didn't have the confidence to become his master, in his eyes, his master was like a mountain, and he would never be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with him.
He mumbled to himself, ”Maybe hundreds of millions of people still believe in me. Maybe they won't change their mindset for decades, but what about in the future …” At this point, he suddenly shouted.
”What about the Ryukyu? If everyone in Ryukyu accepts the Chinese Order, then does that mean that everyone in Ryukyu no longer recognizes me as the emperor? ”Are you all going to break away from the vassal!”
Zai Chun screamed hysterically. He did not dare meet his master's eyes, but stared fixedly at Shang Tai. ”Answer me, do you want to get rid of your wife?” You want to betray Great Qing! ”
At this time, Shang Tai had finally understood. He knew that as long as the Chinese Order was still in existence, his Shang Family's incense and wealth would be assured. As long as they did not go against the Chinese Order, the Chinese Order would be his protection talisman.
With confidence in his heart, he was no longer the cautious king. Shang Tai cupped his hands towards Zai Chun, ”Your Majesty! No need to be so excited, getting rid of the vassal lords is something that cannot be helped. Originally, the Great Qing Dynasty did not provide us with any help at all, so why would we need to rely on others? ”
”The royal family of the Shang clan of the Ryukyu is being conferred the title of Emperor of the Great Ming, the Great Ming is our true sect master! Back then, the reason the Manchu entered the trial was to avenge his ancestors and to kill those who dared to intrude in the sect, in exchange for our Subordinate States's allegiance … But you should be clear that the Great Qing really didn't give us any help! ”
”When Feng Chenxiuji from Japan invaded Korea, the Great Ming Empire sent out hundreds of thousands of troops to help the North to restore their country. This is the responsibility of the Sect Leader, but what about the Great Qing? My Ryukyu was bullied by the Japanese Shimadzu Family for more than three hundred years, no one seems to control us right? ”
Shang Tai's words were full of disdain, he was powerless to refute them. Yeah, when I was in trouble, you never helped me out, so the so-called Subordinate States's status was actually useless. Without a decent navy, what could he use to deal with this betrayal?
The two eunuchs, Big Xiao Sixi and the other two eunuchs behind him, were so frightened that they almost fainted. But the servants definitely had to protect their master, they did not dare to look at others with anger and could only quietly comfort the emperor.
”Your Majesty … Don't be angry! Just now … Didn't the Prime Minister just say that the Chinese people had to apply … The Great Qing will always be under the imperial government, and the imperial government has ordered for people to not be allowed to enter, who dares to? ”
”Exactly! Did the emperor just say there was no way it could be gone? Without the emperor, the world would collapse! Only the people of Ryukyu, who are foreign lands, would believe those evil words. The citizens of Great Qing have trusted the Emperor for thousands of years, so how can you say that you don't believe him? ”
Da Sixi whispered into the ears of the emperor, ”Although the Prime Minister is tyrannical, he has his word. He said that he was also under the control of the Chinese Order, so let's listen to the rules of the Chinese Order! In any case, he himself has just said that he would not force any Chinese to join him.
