C603 tongue like a spring

The three great halls of the Forbidden City were the true center of power for the empire. It was an important ceremony that was more than seventy percent of the empires in Supreme Harmony Hall, Middle Harmony Hall and Preservation Hall.

As the real little master of the Imperial City, the moment Tongzhi heard that the guests wanted to take a look around, he jumped up from the ground in excitement and pulled Xiao Letian to go around in circles.

"Over there is the Body Yang Pavilion. Kang Xi once compared poems in the past, but now, it has become the place where the Ministry of Internal Affairs collects the Satin Wood … "This is the Hongyi Pavilion, the gold, silver, jade and other tableware managed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs are placed here. Hairy # 2 is one of the managers here …"

"Do you know? We don't normally open the doors of the Supreme Harmony Hall. I opened it once before when I ascended the throne, and it will open once every year when the Grand Commission opens at the end of the year. Sometimes, when there's war, there's no Grand Commission that doesn't open the door for a whole year … "I don't like it here. It's very cold inside …"

"Look over here, the neutralization palace is my favorite place. The palace is not big, and when I light it up in the winter, the room feels very warm …" I often study etiquette here, so Zhou Daoying has always troubled me! "

"We're at the Preservation Hall now. Did you know, Weng Tonghe and the others love it the most here, so why do you know? "Haha, you can't guess, right? This is the location of the Hall Competition, and the final round of the Imperial Examinations is taking the exams here. How could those top scorers not love it here?"

"The Qian Qing Sect is in the distance. The Long Sect on the left has the Military Intelligence Service and the Feng Palace behind the Scenic Gate on the right …" The place where I usually study in the imperial government isn't far from the Military Intelligence Service, it's right there … Yangxin Palace's Winter Warm Pavilion! "

This was the first time the little emperor had been a tour guide, but he was extremely excited. Humans were born with the desire to show off, not to mention the imperial palace of the Forbidden City.

In his eyes, Xiao Letian had gifted some unique delicacies to him and even gave him a shocking martial arts practice. Then, they would be able to get along like friends.

Although Xiao Letian's new army had lost to his imperial army, the little emperor was after all only ten years old, and had not personally witnessed the cruel battlefield. He did not know what was meant by separation through death, so he did not have a strong enmity towards Xiao Letian.

Xiao Letian patiently listened while the little Emperor spoke excitedly. Behind the two of them were many vigilant officials, the Prince of Alcohol had already entered the palace and Qing Liu, who was led by Weng Tonghe, had also entered the palace. Everyone who saw this unbelievable scene were filled with indignation.

How could the Emperor be so intimate with his enemies? Are all our efforts in vain?

However, the new army had already taken over the security around Supreme Harmony Hall. Under the threat of the Gun, none of them dared to protest, and could only follow from afar, afraid that the little emperor would lose his way.

"His Majesty is truly a good master. Foreign ministers, you must be tired. Let's sit here and rest for a while!" On the stairs to the north of the Preservation Hall, there was a beautiful view of the rear three halls. After going through the Qian Qing sect, that would be the back palace, Xiao Letian didn't want to teach anyone else anything.

The two of them sat on the ice-cold steps, looking at the densely packed red walls and yellow tiles in the harem. Even the Jingshan and white tower could be vaguely seen in the distance.

"You don't like it here!" Tongzhi was very sensitive. He discovered that Xiao Letian did not have the same feeling of reverence he had when he had seen the Imperial Palace for the first time. One must know that many foreign people would also be shocked when they entered the Imperial Palace for the first time.

"No, Foreign ministers really likes this place. After all, this is the imperial capital of two dynasties. It's just that Foreign ministers has seen a sight even more spectacular than this, which is why it's so calm! "

"More spectacular?" The little Emperor couldn't believe his ears.

Xiao Letian became interested. He leaned his body forward and placed one of his legs on the step of the ship, as he said with a beaming smile, "It's a sight to behold, a truly indescribable sight. I remember that the first time I went out to sea, I encountered a super hurricane, and the ship of the foreigners was pushed up to ten floors in the air, and then smashed into a deep whirlpool. Even the whales that swallowed the boat did not dare show their heads, and could only hide in the deep seabed."

"The Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea are nothing to look at. The waters are not clear at all. When the fleet enters the Pacific and the South Sea, you will be able to see a sea as enchanting as a sapphire." Sunlight, sea breeze, fresh seafood that can't be eaten in the trawl, dolphins jumping and singing on both sides of your boat … "

"In the Southern Ocean, there are still countless expatriates and South Asian native monkeys. There's no winter there at all, the rice is ripen every year, there's no drought at all. You don't need to worry about the seedlings. When the time comes, you can harvest the crops …"

"Pineapple, banana, lychee, mountain bamboo... Sugar cane fields that are like trees and factories that squeeze sugar from them one after another, this is simply a land of sweetness, a kingdom of fruits! "

Xiao Letian was like a strange uncle about to kidnap a child, describing to the ten-year old Tongzhi the beauty of the outside world. He had a goal, his goal was very clear, and that was to kidnap the emperor of the Great Qing!

"After passing Malacca, the ship entered the Indian Ocean... The Emperor was right, this was the country of Tian Zhu that Tang Xuanzang had visited. There is an island called Lion Country, also known as Sri Lanka. "Heavens, that is one of the countries with the highest output of gems in the world. Ruby, sapphire, emerald and agate are all over the place …"

"The ships sail along the Indian mainland, you can see the great plain of the Ganges, you can even hear the Indian songs and dances with the wind... The people of Hinduism pushed the corpses of their dead relatives into the Ganges, drifting into the sea. The Foreign ministers's ships had run into a lot of them … "

"All the way to the west, we reached the Arabian Peninsula. We used to call that place Tiangfang, where the Muslims settled down … The warriors of Arabian who are covered in scarves are surrounded by a desert, the scimitars are extremely sharp, and there are countless ruins of ancient cities in the desert. The history there is the same as us China, it can be traced back to thousands of years ago! "

As someone who was raised by the Palace Mistress, he never thought that the world would be so colorful. Giant whales, dolphins, apocalyptic storms, local delicacies, the island of gems, the ancient city in the desert, as well as the pyramid and the Sphinx.

When Xiao Letian's topic turned to Europe, Tongzhi was even more shocked. A steamy world appeared in his mind.

"Your Majesty, do you know that in the Mediterranean Sea, there are more and more steamships that emit black smoke? The boilers are driving the ships so that they can sail against the wind, and the huge cranes are ten stories high at the seaports of various countries. They can lift ten thousand pounds of objects into the air …"

"When the train whistles its horn in the wilderness, the white smoke billows like an unstoppable force. It can only be felt in a thousand miles or so …" In addition, in those oversized factories, each of the steel gears are as tall as a person! "

"Europa is not a barbaric land, they also have their own civilization, their exquisite garden and palace are beautiful beyond compare, the pastoral songs with their passionate young girls seducing far away guests, the new army that didn't lie to His Majesty and the Foreign ministers have many smelly boys that had loose in Europa!"

Attracting, this was a pure enticement. Tongzhi was as curious as ever and he had an unusual interest in women.

Wild Shi said that Tongzhi often sneaked out of the palace and went to the eight alleys where the sky was dark, only to die in the end due to the influence of the flower. This wild historical legend might not be accurate, but it was true that Tongzhi had left the palace under the name of the Emperor.

He was a very curious emperor, full of curiosity about all the unknown, and this curiosity could be turned into a desire to make progress with a little guidance.

The Tongzhi Emperor was very intelligent, also full of curiosity and adventurous spirit. He was originally a hero bestowed upon him by the ancestors of the Qing Dynasty, he could have led the Qing Empire on a different path.

Unfortunately, it had been destroyed, destroyed by the woman's hand! A group of women, eunuchs and a bunch of old men had actually killed a young master.

What Xiao Letian had to do today was to pry open His Majesty's new door, and stuff a handful of seeds inside so that he would know what the outside world looked like.

As long as Emperor Tongzhi was poisoned, Xiao Letian could possibly bring him out of the Forbidden City to become Tongzhi's Imperial Advisor. As long as Emperor Tongzhi accompanied him for three years, and imbued him with Western learning for three years, Xiao Letian would not be able to bring up a new generation of True Monarchs!

"Daughter …" Is what you said true? Is the outside world really that wonderful? " Emperor Tongzhi gritted his teeth and stomped his feet as he asked, "Tell me, how do the kings and princes of foreign countries live? Is it like me? "

There's a door! Xiao Letian immediately became alert: "Your Majesty, this subject can use my life to guarantee that everything I say is true. This world is grand and unimaginable, the Great Qing is big but the world is bigger!"

"I did talk to the Crown Prince of Prussia about the education of the Crown Prince of Europe. The Crown Prince of Europe was different from the Great Qing. They placed great importance on the education of the civil and military, which meant that the Emperor had to take charge of the army himself! "That's right, there's no need for Your Majesty to look at me that way. The crown prince of Europa has his own direct troops, and he's personally riding his horse and leading his troops into battle …"

"This time, among the Poo War, the one I am fighting side by side with is the Prince of Prussia, His Highness Karl. Not only that, the young Crown Prince still has to travel to Europe to study, learn a lot of languages and meet countless scholars. They also have to continuously inspect the country's colonies! "

"There are many colonies that are their own fiefdom! Prince Karl has been receiving English education since he was young, and now, his son is also receiving English education. They have estates in every country, and they are in contact with the nobles of every country … "

"Perhaps in the spring they would walk in the hills of Northern Ireland, summer in the forests of Norway, fall in the music capital, enjoy the opera, and in the winter they would ski in the Alps …"

"Skiing? Is it a dog pulling a plow? " Tongzhi's eyes lit up.

"No, it's a person carrying a sled to the top of a mountain peak thousands of meters high and then dashing down with lightning speed. That kind of excitement is hard to imagine …" Your Majesty, you should be able to feel the cold wind blowing on your face and the snow powder hitting your face. A huge boulder suddenly appeared in front of you.

The little Emperor immediately exclaimed, "What should we do?"

"What else can we do? Hurry up and change your direction. The moment you cross the huge rock, all the blood vessels in your body open up. That's the thrilling feeling! "

"That is the game of Bravehearts. Your Majesty, don't you want to try it?" At that moment, Xiao Letian was like a demon bewitching people's hearts.
