C1725 Ryukyu government (1/2)
There were already more than enough surprises today, and even the various God of Fortune in the Dragon and Phoenix Restaurant were unable to digest them. However, everyone knew that this meeting was destined to be a critical moment in witnessing history, so no matter how confused they were, they had to hold on.
Fatty Niu took out an emerald snuff bottle from his bosom. Opening the lid, a pungent smell wafted into his nose. After taking a deep breath, he immediately sneezed twice. His mind immediately cleared up.
Boss Mi, who was at the side, was also feeling dizzy. He didn't even bring his snuff bottle to see if the old cow had it, and immediately snatched it away. Before he could even take a look at the painting in the snuff bottle, he already smiled.
”Ouch …” This Spring Palace painting is really not bad! ”The work of that expert …”
”Expert?” ”This was the handiwork of the Qiandong's brothers and the Prince, Hong Zhou. To put it in the nose of the capital, that is a peerless painting …”
Boss Mi laughed out loud. ”Alright, now it's my turn …” After saying that, he stuffed a large piece of jade into his pocket and disappeared.
At that time, the fat cow was so angry that his nose was crooked. ”Kid, you are too greedy. This is the prince's …” Before he could even finish his sentence, he heard the old man at the head of the table cough lightly, causing the old cow to quickly relax and sit up straight.
The Boss Mi secretly laughed, then sat upright and listened to the old man's teachings. However, he did not expect the old shopkeeper to say such earth-shattering news.
”Everyone!” The last thing we discussed today was actually related to Ryukyu's King Shang Tai … ” old shopkeeper cupped his hands and bowed towards the direction of the Shouli City: ”In response to King Shang Tai's numerous pleas, the Prime Minister has already agreed to King Shang Tai's act of offering his authority! After the Prime Minister arrives from the Far East, it will be time for King Shang Tai to offer up the national affairs of the Ryukyu … ”
”Hiss …” There was a hubbub in the room. What do you mean? ”What government should we offer, and where should we offer it?”
The situation suddenly became chaotic. No one expected such an unexpected turn of events. No one was mentally prepared. The third incident had a bigger and fiercer impact than the second plan!
Some people in the crowd didn't even know if the first word for political sacrifice was the Constitution or some other word. When they found out that it was a tribute, everyone was dumbfounded.
”Old... Old man! What you mean to say is that Shang Tai wants to use all of his power to … Give it out? To whom? ” Someone in the crowd asked in astonishment.
”Bullsh * t, you're treating it as offering it to the Prime Minister!” The land that Shang Tai controlled was merely a chain of islands like the Ryukyu, and the area that the Prime Minister controlled was in the far north to the east, south to the south, and also had a special area within the Great Qing … If Little Wang wants to offer her power, then that means she's giving it to the King! ”
”But in the Hidden Dragon Institute's plan, the Prime Minister has already admitted to not inheriting the throne, and might not even be considered as the true king! Is the king going to offer his all to the prime minister? ”
”What's wrong with that? I feel that the title of emperor and king is the same no matter what. No matter what sort of title the prime minister carries, even if he has given himself the nickname 'Pauper Xiao', he would still be a beggar in charge of the Chinese …”
Some in the crowd couldn't help but laugh, some even sneaked a glance at Liu Chouchu, thinking that the person who was speaking was too unskilled, how could he joke around like a beggar in front of Mr. Tou?
