C629 pro-people

The Beijing of winter was cold, let alone dozens of meters in the air. The little emperor Tongzhi was wrapped in a double layer of bear fur clothing, but his little hands were still frozen and his face was flushed red.

For the first time, the young emperor outside the Supreme Harmony Hall felt the wonderful taste of power. To think that his decree to travel to the academy had actually been approved by a vote. Even those who had been teaching him a lesson had no choice but to lower their heads.

Only his mother was still crying, but in order to be free, he could only make her sad!

When the little emperor was preparing to board the hot air balloon and fly into the sky, almost all the officials in front of the Supreme Harmony Hall objected at the same time. What would happen if he fell down?

However, the little Emperor had already bravely taken the first step in his life, and would never shrink back again. Under the protection of the new army, Xiao Letian and the little emperor squeezed out of the encirclement of officials and stepped onto the rope ladder to the hot air balloon.

At this time, the Forbidden City collapsed with a loud bang. The hot air balloon floated with the west for over thirty meters in the sky. A group of eunuchs, guards, and ministers chased after it, their wails earth-shattering.

The hot air balloon flew through the Imperial City and into the city. The streets and alleys were filled with people kneeling and burning incense. Xiao Letian seemed to have already predicted this scene and even threw out a long banner.

The banner read: "The Son of Heaven has left the Palace to roam the world!" These Beijing were stirred up, the people never thought that the one flying in the sky would actually be their Emperor.

"Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!" The entire city was filled with cheers. Wasn't it perfectly justified for the Son of Heaven to fly in the sky? For a time, the little emperor's reputation was extremely high.

"Your Majesty, did you see that? I am using this kind of Western technique to increase your prestige … "Before, you hid in the palace. The commoners only vaguely knew that you were the emperor, but they didn't have any feelings for you …"

"But today, you have become the first emperor to truly fly in the sky for five thousand years. What do you think the citizens will think of you? How can you not raise your prestige? "

"To put it bluntly, the emperor is hidden deep within the palace. The commoners shout 'Long live', but they don't necessarily think much of the emperor. Even if there's a change and you're overthrown, the commoners aren't dead. They should all eat and drink …"

Tongzhi had never seen his master speak the truth like that, his eyes shining as he said, "Are you trying to teach me a lesson? Are you imparting to me the Art of Emperor? "Then what should I do?"

Xiao Letian grabbed his hand and raised it up, "Waving, waving to your subjects … Say whatever you want. As long as you can put up a show, the people will love you even more … To lower the height of the hot air balloon so that His Majesty can comfort the masses! "

The hot air balloon started to descend slowly, and when it reached a height of twenty meters, the little red face of Tongzhi waved towards the commoners on the street, "We … I am the emperor! I … This Emperor pays his respects to you all! "

Pfft! Ye Qiu burst out into laughter. He thought to himself, this child is too cute. This was the first time in thousands of years.

Surprisingly, when the voice of the little emperor reached the streets, the entire crowd suddenly went deathly silent. Everyone couldn't believe their own ears.

"Is that person wearing a bright yellow robe in the sky really His Majesty? Your Majesty is actually paying New Year respects to us commoner? I am not dreaming right! "

When people finally realized that this was not a dream, the entire city was in an uproar. People were cheering in the streets, "Long live the dream!" Long live the Emperor! "Oh lord, the emperor pays his respects to the commoners …"

After thousands of years of brainwashing, the citizens of the feudal society were completely obedient to the imperial power. In the hearts of ordinary citizens, the emperor was a good person.

Today, the emperor was actually flying in the sky to pay his respects to the people. If he wasn't the king, then what was he? Hi... Without saying anything else, Burning Incense could just kneel down and shout a few more times!

The news of Tongzhi standing in the sky and paying respects to the thousands of citizens of the Beijing was instantly spread throughout the entire capital. The entire Beijing was in an uproar, the roars of congratulations to the Emperor were everywhere, and all the citizens were about to go mad.

The eunuchs, guards, and ministers who were chasing after the hot air balloons had already fallen into the sea of people, unable to extricate themselves. The frenzied stream of people pushed them everywhere, and the normally obedient citizens only had their eyes set on the emperor in the sky.

The Qing Liu Han forest that was swaying left and right were all shocked and unable to control themselves, "What is going on?" Why did the citizens become so fervent? If this goes on, how would the imperial government care about this group of scarecrows? Your Majesty, you're playing with fire! "

In the eyes of the Gui Chen, it was the Gui Chen's job to stir up the emotions of the people. If the Emperor were to directly provoke the emotions of the people who drafted it, it would not be good for the Confucianism to rule over China.

To put it simply, if the imperial power was combined with the fanatical power of the commoners, it would attack the Confucian proper territory from the upper and lower levels. This was a scene that all the Gui Chen s did not wish to see.

What the sour scholar hated was naturally what Xiao Letian and Zai Chun liked. Only now did the little emperor understand how good Xiao Letian was to him, a master who was willing to fight for the hearts of the people, was a true master. As for people like Weng Tonghe, other than using strict rules to control him, they had no other abilities.

"Master …" "Thank you!" Zai Chun said in a low voice.

"Don't thank me yet. What you saw today was only a small part of your power. In the future, you will see even more powerful forces. I hope you have the ability to control them …" Follow me and cultivate properly! " Xiao Letian gently caressed Zai Chun's head.

From that day on, the Tongzhi Emperor moved to the Jingshan. Before the new army left the capital, the little emperor stayed here.

There was no need to talk about how the various powers of the capital fought in the dark that night. Even the envoys of the East Crossing Folk Lane were having a sleepless night.

The Qing Empire was truly too big. Although they had lost a few wars outside the empire, they all knew that the empire was still intact. The small amount of compensation they had to pay could not be considered a loss at all.

In such a big empire, the little emperor was actually going on a national tour to study. The powerful ones of the empires didn't want to interfere, and the ten-year-old emperor was the type who was easy to brainwash. If they could win the little emperor's heart, then they could preserve their interests for the next few decades.

On the letter, Hua Ruohan wrote a secret letter to the President quickly. "Sir President, the major change of East Asia is irreversible, Xiao Letian has successfully affected the Emperor of this Empire, I recommend that you increase your level of cooperation with Xiao Letian. This man is worth the investment of the America."

It was not only the American minister who was writing a secret letter, but also the British Minister, Ai Liguo, who was writing a top secret report to his own country, saying, "The changes in East Asia have exceeded the imagination of the British Empire, Xiao Letian only used a few thousand troops to change the political structure of the Qing Empire, this is unexpected, I hope that the entire nation will immediately analyse it, I will do my best, and let His Majesty go to England, a pro-British monarch is beneficial to Britain …"

Minister of France and Russian Minister were also working hard to write, trying to figure out how they could fight over the novel. All the nations had the same opinion of Zai Chun, and that was that they must definitely let the little Emperor come to their own country to study.

The East Crossing Folk Lane had already gone into a state of unconsciousness, and the power of the Qing Dynasty's imperial court had also turned into chaos. After the little emperor left Beijing, he would listen to the workings of governance, and the distribution of power was what everyone was concerned about.

However, all of this had nothing to do with Xiao Letian, in his eyes, the people who were snatching food from the existing dog food bowls were all useless fellows, the current Da Qing had already completely lost his spirit, other than fighting for food in the current rice bowl, there was nothing else he could do.

Now that Xiao Letian had already considered the arrangements after leaving the capital, the new army would not be able to stay any longer since they had already reached their strategic goal. Although Xiao Letian seemed to have the upper hand now, he knew his own business and he still did not have the strength to do anything to the imperial government.

The entire army of the New Army began to mobilize. Countless camps were prepared to be pulled out of camp, and even the security of the city began to turn over to the Shuntian Palace and the minister of nine city gates's yamen.

In the next few days, the number of new troops on the streets decreased, but the number of soldiers in the barracks outside the city increased. The well-informed Baji s all knew that the new troops were about to leave, and the time was at the end of the new year.

As the days passed, the number of temporary grain shops that occupied all the streets of the capital started to decrease. In the past, when the black-hearted grain merchants started to open their stores again, the people of the capital understood that Xiao Letian's new army was about to leave.

From that day onwards, the atmosphere became more and more passionate, especially since the Prime Minister Xiao of the East China Sea had entered the capital. It had not only brought about a low price of rice, but also countless opportunities for workers.

As long as you were not a lazy person in the entire Beijing, you could find things to do from the construction site of the sulcus longus as well as the cleaning activities that engulfed the entire city.

Low prices, coupled with a high employment rate, had refreshed the entire capital's market. The citizens' purchasing power had allowed all the merchants to make a profit.

The citizens had finally passed the new year, and the entire city was filled with laughter and jubilation, but on the new year, Xiao Letian's army had started to move. They did not plan to spend the new year in the capital city, but chose to leave the Beijing amidst the cold wind.
