C3527 Bring me into the city (1/2)

What? Let the common people carry the imperial carriage? The officials welcoming the emperor had exploded into an uproar. Since when was there such a rule? How could the emperor protect his safety? What if there was an assassin?

To put it more simply, how could he maintain his overbearing demeanor as an emperor?

But at this time, the people on the scene were all stirred up. Six years of exemption from taxes had caused these poor people to go crazy with excitement!

To be fair, due to the Yongzheng's amortization and reform, it did reduce the burden on the citizens of the late Qing Dynasty. After Yongzheng, the taxes that the citizens of the Qing Dynasty had to pay were mainly the following.

Tian Fu, mining tax, salt class, tea tax and various industrial and commercial tax, and finally add the conversion of corvette service!

For ordinary farmers, Tian Fu and the corvette worker were the biggest tax payers. In the prime of their lives, these taxes could take up to one third of the output of a well-off farmer. If there was no reduction during the famine, then these taxes could crush a small family.

What Tongzhi had just exempted were the most important things to the citizens, namely the Tian Fu and the betting fees. Since there were no mines in Songjiang Prefecture, the mining tax did not exist, and the salt lessons, tea tax, and industrial and commercial tax were all to be paid by the citizens, it had nothing to do with the citizens.

Six years of being exempted from Tian Fu and being bestowed with service was equivalent to earning two years worth of income. It would be a wonder if the citizens weren't crazy!

The few fishermen in the Dian Shan Lake heard the good news and were the first to jump up, ”I will carry the palanquin for you, let's carry the His Majesty into the city!”

One man to lift his arm, ten thousand men to follow! The denizens of the Songjiang Prefecture rushed up from all directions and attacked the guards in a mess.

At this time, even if the officials of the Qing Dynasty wanted to object, they were unable to say anything. The entire riverbank of the Wu Songkou was filled with shouts of ”Long live”.

Ling Mutai, who had not walked very far, was shocked. ”What are you doing? Is His Majesty going to risk his life? ” With their rich experience in the battlefield, they knew how dangerous these chaotic situations were. The veterans didn't need to act immediately.

”We can't go against the flow of people, we can't clash with them …” All the snipers are taking the high ground, protecting the safety of long live! ”

And that was the only way, Tongzhi's imperial carriage had already been lifted up by countless of hands, even Da Sixi, Xiao Sixi and the rest who were serving him were pushed to the side, their legs all swollen.

”Ouch …” Ouch … His Majesty, be careful, these commoners are crazy!

Tongzhi was playing with fire, he had ignited the fire in the hearts of the people, but it put himself in danger. At the moment, the people were already in close proximity to him, if there was an assassin close by, he would definitely be killed.

The snipers climbed the trees like monkeys, and the rooftops of the scattered buildings around the embankment were taken over by the snipers.

The Prussian high-powered binoculars searched the crowd for suspicious figures, and the crosshairs looped around the man's head and around the other man's neck.

, the Ministry of Internal Affairs's steward, brought along her servants and was forced into a mess by the commoners. Even the steward was crying like a kitten. Wu wu wu … His Majesty, please be careful … ”Sob, sob, sob …”

Jiu Shuai anxiously slapped his thigh. ”Make us put our clothes on … Where's the eagle? You will personally lead the team, and have all of my guards' undergarments go up, and squeeze in to protect the emperor! ”

”What is he doing!?” What nonsense did the His Majesty learn from Europa? ”Why is it so chaotic …”

Even if Tongzhi was gambling, he was gambling with his life! How could he not know the danger? Of course he knew, he could even feel that there were assassins in the crowd that wanted his life.

It's not like we've never met an assassination attempt. Fu Sang has met with it before, and we've met in Europe as well … The little Emperor's guts had been cultivated as well!

”I want to gamble my luck. I want to see if I have the luck of the Soaring Dragons!” If my life is so despicable that even this little bit of the Songjiang Prefecture's citizens can't stop me, then what kind of reform is there for the Great Qing to do? ”
