C2283 Zai Chuns protest (2/2)
”Editor Watson, can you tell me what happened? Qiao Zhi... ”My old friend, wait for me for a moment...”
Unfortunately, no matter how enthusiastic the greeting was, Gordon received a confused reply. The editors and reporters of these newspapers did not hear the slightest bit of news at all.
At 3.15 in the afternoon, the press conference started on time. Under the melodious tones of the ritual officer, all the reporters in the hall stood up to welcome the arrival of Tongzhi.
When the figure of the emperor wearing a bright yellow dragon robe appeared, all the reporters present took off their hats and bowed to pay their respects.
”Gentlemen, please take a seat!” Zai Chun's expression was extremely solemn, as he had the maturity of an old Daoist that was incompatible with his age.
”In this press conference, I will only say one thing … I hereby strongly protest to the British Government! I hope the Prime Minister will immediately give a public explanation for the imprisonment! and I hope you can immediately release the head of the Xiao Letian Sect! ”
After a loud jeer from the reporters, the crowd exploded into commotion. At that moment, someone asked, ”Your Majesty, may I ask why you have issued such a declaration at this time? The matter of the captivity has already been talked about for more than half a month, may I ask what else you were doing before? ”
”Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Have you decided that imprisonment is real? But Prime Minister Benjamin had been denying it all this while! ”
”May I ask Your Majesty, is it possible that this is the Eastern Führer's plan? Could it be a conspiracy … ”
was obviously prepared for this, as he reached his hand down and pressed on the ground, causing the place to gradually become quiet.
”As everyone knows, Xiao Letian is one of my teachers, I am extremely respectful to him! I've always been very concerned about my teacher's safety, but I've also received a British security commitment... ”
”Yes, Prime Minister Benjamin did tell me before, that there was no imprisonment incident … But who could explain why the Führer had disappeared for so many days? Why would Prime Minister Bismark make such a strict statement? ”
”Is the Prussian prime minister joking with me?”
”As for the conspiracy you mentioned just now, I don't think much of you. As the head of the Chinese clan, who would be so stupid as to put themselves in danger?”
”From a different perspective, I think that with British Empire's powerful strength, would he be afraid of the Chinese conspiracy? In front of absolute power, even if there's a conspiracy, how could you possibly succeed? ”
Hahaha … Zai Chun's words could be considered to be extremely sarcastic. The British national's arrogance was as high as the sun at the moment, just like the Chinese national feelings during the Tang Dynasty, arrogant to the extreme.
Zai Chun's show of support had directly satisfied the vanity of the British citizens!
What he said was too right, the British Empire had absolute power, how could a small East Asian race dare to plot against them, even if they did, it would be in vain.
Under the noon sun, no matter how big the ice was, it would still melt into water!
The editors present all smiled brightly. They knew that with just the words of Tongzhi, the sales of the newspapers would rise again tomorrow!
This was the Emperor of China praising the British Empire, which just so happened to satisfy the vanity of the citizens, this little emperor was really too likeable.
