C1490 Whose Far East? (1/2)
Whose Far East?
The disagreements within the royal clan had already reached an irreconcilable point, unless from now on someone officially declared that the withdrawal of authority from the competition was like the fifth master's banishment from the decision-making circle, and he would eat and drink and play with women everyday. This way, he might be able to last until the day he would die of old age.
However, how could a person who had tasted the sweetness of power choose to live a life where he ate and waited for death? How could a person who had tasted the sweetness of power choose to live a life where he ate and waited for death?
Furthermore, the battles on the power field are not the second place in the friendly first match of the Olympics. There is no limit to the number of wins or losses here.
Even if he left the stage of power now, would Zai Chun be less wary of him? After all, you have been the Regent for so many years, and have signed many agreements with the westerner. Who would believe it?
Even the Fifth Master of the capital, who had always been floating outside of his power, was secretly supporting his own forces with Yang Zhi and the others. Then, how could these people, who had already reached the peak of their power, retreat so easily?
Thinking about it, a dead man was still the most reassuring thing.
Even if Zai Chun knelt in front of the two royal uncles and vowed to never challenge their authority, even if he gave them a guarantee or a gold medal to avoid death, would the two royal uncles truly believe him so bravely?
Doubt was the nature of politicians. It wasn't so much that they didn't believe in their political opponents as that they didn't even believe in themselves. Those damned promises and oaths had always been like fart in their hearts.
His heart was suffering in hell, so he obviously didn't believe that anyone else was in heaven. It was just like how an owl with a dead mouse in its mouth thought that a phoenix would steal his food.
Because I have the intention to kill you. Of course, I will think that you also have the intention to kill me!
Zai Chun and the two Uncle Wang s had already been forced to the point where they couldn't even stand against each other anymore. In fact, it was quite funny, since the beginning to the end, there had never been any frank negotiations between the two of them.
Everything had happened so quickly, so naturally, so naturally. In the eyes of outsiders, it was as if no conflict had taken place, and uncles and nieces had actually formed a deadlock.
Zai Chun was indeed still just a child, but Zai Chun's power, with Xiao Letian's support, was growing strong step by step, and these two Uncle Wang saw it as well.
The New Imperial Army of the Tongzhi Emperor was steadily growing within his sphere of influence. The battle with the Russian at sea had also given Zai Chun quite a bit of influence.
There were already many officials secretly picking on the young emperor, especially some Chinese officials. Since ancient times, they had been influenced by the central government's idea of unifying the empire, and they had a deep-rooted admiration for the mighty monarch.
No matter how many achievements they had obtained from the war, at least this matter was very impressive. The empire had been bullied by foreign devils for so many years, and finally, there was a little emperor who could give vent to everyone's anger. This had won a lot of people's hearts.
