C1739 self-seeking (1/2)
”You … ”You guys …” Qing San Ye was so angry that he could not speak anymore. With trembling hands, he pointed at the family kneeling on the ground, then pointed at the unsympathetic military police, the expression on his face rapidly changing.
It took half a minute before he managed to force out a sentence. ”They …” What are they doing to you? Who cares about the heavens or the earth, why do you care about his small feet? ”
”That's right …” The sloppy-looking beggar and the skinny scholar spoke in unison, ”We are begging and wrapping our feet. What is it that is obstructing your way?”
Those few officers were at a loss whether to laugh or to cry. Normally, whoever was in the mood to talk nonsense with this group of people would go straight to the West Water Gate and scold them whenever they wanted to. However, it was impossible to not explain himself today. With the First Pin Great Qing Minister or the Prime Minister's relative in front of him, he had to take a walk around the room.
The oldest officer stepped forward, cupped his hands, and bowed to the people around him. Everyone! The prohibition of footbinding was issued by the Prime Minister to stop the destruction of women and to destroy the good governance of criminal practices … Everyone has a mother, a daughter, and sisters. Looking at the bones of their feet being broken and twisted, and seeing them unable to walk on the road, are you really not distressed? ”
”You actually still want to continue such a shameless and malicious custom?”
”Honorable Chief Minister, you are the ruler of the Kingdom of Qing over the Eight Flags. You know more about the laws of the Great Qing than I do … You should know that the Manchu women do not have legs? The emperor in charge of governance, who has just entered the city, has personally issued an imperial decree prohibiting all girls from binding their feet together! ”
”I thought the Han people of this world obstructed them too much, but this imperial edict wasn't carried out in the end. However, this imperial edict was not abolished. He is still hiding inside the Forbidden City!”
”But why is it that everything you said today is against the laws of your ancestors? [You actually dare to talk big now? Don't tell me what you just said, go back to the Beijing and tell the ancestors of the temple … ”
”You … ”How dare you!” Qing San Ye's blood pressure instantly rose, he wanted to say a few words, but he did not know what to say. He wanted to curse, but was unable to open his mouth.
”Mud!” ”It's all mud …” Qing San Ye was angry and embarrassed, he turned his head and jumped into the palanquin. Go home, go back to Beijing! What kind of shitty place... How delightful! ”Pui …”
The few military police officers looked at each other for a moment, then one of them quickly nodded his head and ran into the city. He wanted to report what had happened today to CIA as soon as possible.
As for the beggar and the scholar, they kneeled on the ground and begged while crying like mud. In the end, no one sympathized with them, and they were even dragged out of West Water Gate.
What Qing San Ye had experienced had long ago turned numb in the eyes of the officials of the West Water Gate. They were very clear on the problems of these refugees and immigrants.
Therefore, all actions must be carried out in accordance with the principle of the Prime Minister. ”Unite those who share the same will and forge the bones of the Chinese, absorb those who are willing to change their blood and flesh, and use strict methods to control those who are forced to change their thoughts. Only in this way can a healthy and complete Chinese be created …”
”As for those who refuse to repent and reject all changes, they will be excluded from the Chinese clan. They will be able to look around with envy forever outside the wall. They will be tormented by the feeling of a blissful fall and will be unable to extricate themselves for the rest of his life …”
