C2081 Soaring Dragon and Tiger Steps (1/2)
Duke of Newcastle did not believe his ears at all. Was this really what a 13 year old child could say? Impossible, what was he doing when he was thirteen? They rode and hunted and had sex with the noble ladies of the same age in the neighboring manor.
Once in a while, his father would take him to Hyde Park to give a speech. His face and legs were still trembling. How mature could a thirteen-year-old child be? No matter how strict the education of the nobility was, they would not have been this intelligent so early on.
But today, the young emperor of the Great Qing had changed his perspective. So there really was a genius who was intelligent to such an extent in this world. To be able to speak without fear at such a young age was already an extremely heaven-defying feat.
”My God! ”It seems like I have to start from a new perspective on that ancient Eastern Kingdom. So it turns out that our foundation is actually this deep. Looks like we were very lucky to win the previous match!”
Zai Chun's words not only shook the Duke's heart, it also made the entire pier area silent for three seconds. Everyone looked at the little emperor in disbelief.
Zai Chun's hands were drenched in sweat, and his heart was beating like a drum. His first thought was that he had screwed it up, but after thinking carefully, he couldn't find any flaws.
Behind Zai Chun, Da Sixi and Xiao Sixi were so excited that they were about to faint. Although the two of them did not understand the series of English words, they understood the emperor's aura.
But why were all these British geezers dumbfounded? Don't you understand the draconic voice? What a group of barbarians …
Just as Da Sixi and the others were cursing silently, the crowd suddenly woke up from their short three seconds of shock. Long live the Emperor of Great Qing Kingdom! ” Hats that were thrown into the air fell down like rain.
Even the reporters at the front row became excited, the pens in their notebooks had been jabbed into several layers of white paper, they never thought that Zai Chun would say such words.
Who would have thought that the mighty Emperor of the Great Qing would say Long live the Queen! Long live England! Long live Europe! Long live the people! The slogan came out.
Was this still that ancient and conservative empire? Is he really still the Great Qing who instigated a war just because of a kneeling Great Qing? How could those pedantic medieval scholars have taught such an enlightened monarch?
”The innovator! Tongzhi was a innovator! He was like Peter the Great of Russia, with his arms open to civilization... Long live the Emperor! ”
At this moment, the welcoming atmosphere had reached its peak. The crowd crowded and forward, making the policemen who were maintaining order tumble down, and the hats that were thrown everywhere on the ground. Everyone was looking at Zai Chun with the most adoring gaze.
The people of that era were simple and honest. Although life was tough, everyone knew how to be grateful, and being nice to people of the lowest class was something that people of the 21st century would never dare to imagine. The people of that era had a simple heart, and although it was hard for people to live, everyone knew how to be grateful.
In this era, where did the emperor even open his mouth to say ”Long live the people”? This was about to force the citizens to cry!
At that time, there were countless kind-hearted British citizens, especially the women. After hearing the Eastern Emperor proclaim the slogan ”Long live the people”, they were so shocked that they could only cry.
