Chapter 31 - The Inca State

This is the heart of the Great Qing Empire, here is the study room of the Emperor Tongzhi. Although he is only nine years old this year, the nobles of the Tian Xiang Empire all have very early mature personalities, the current Little Emperor Tongzhi on the throne already has some of the dignity of a ruler.

"Shameless, westernization is simply insane! No wonder royal father wanted to avoid disaster at the mountain resort, so these westernization were this unreasonable! "He's simply worse than a beast …" The nine year old Tongzhi had slapped her red hand onto the throne, he had no idea that he was doing it.

"Please calm your anger, Your Majesty!" The two rows of palace eunuchs and maids in Yangxin Palace all knelt down, trembling under the pressure of the intrepid might of the heavens.

Tongzhi was holding a piece of strange text, which was the latest chapter of . It turned out that the little emperor was also Xiao Letian's hardcore fan. But today the little Emperor was infuriated, for the story came to the end of the Inca Empire.

The Inca state arose in the 11th century, was destroyed in 16 families, and has been passed on for more than 500 years. According to Xiao Letian, the mysterious Inca Country was located on the plateau of South America, and was a race that was very skilled in construction and agriculture.

In the latest chapter, Xiao Letian's extremely written praise for the brilliant civilization of Inca, no matter whether it was a city built purely from boulders, a pyramid that pierced the clouds, or even the extremely huge national treasury of the Inca Empire, all proved the greatness of this civilization to the world.

But such a splendid civilization was destroyed by Europeans in 1532. Most exasperating of all, the Europeans had kidnapped Atahualpa the Inca by deception.

The despicable Spanish conquistador Pizarro, with only 170 soldiers and some explorer, had penetrated into the heart of the Inca Empire and, surrounded by 50,000 Inca troops, was actually trying to negotiate amicably with the king.

The Inca Atahualpa, for some reason, had brought thousands of her followers with him to negotiate with these foreigners, but they had not expected that Pizarro would suddenly kill and rush forward to kidnap the king. When the King fell into the hands of the enemy, the fifty thousand loyal warriors did not dare to attack and were killed by the Spaniard right on the spot.

Then Pizarro took the Inca as a hostage and forced the Inca Empire to offer gold as a ransom. The king held him hostage for a whole year, and the Inca gave him six tons of gold and twelve tons of silver to redeem him.

Of course, Xiao Letian had calculated it in the book. At that time, he weighed and weighed the book by 35 grams, simply calculating that the Inca Empire had provided a total of 170 thousand gold and 350 thousand silver.

If you think the Spaniard will keep her promise? When they got their hands on the treasure, they lied that the king's army wanted to save him, and used that as an excuse to burn King Atahualpa to death.

From that day on, the Inca Empire, which had been glorious for more than five hundred years, was completely decayed, until it disappeared into the river of history.

Xiao Letian had a plan for this chapter he wrote, because he knew that if he wanted the ruler of the Qing Dynasty to recognize him as a renowned scholar and a Master of Western Studies, he had to move their hearts. Here, Xiao Letian chose to use a very insidious method, which was threatening.

Is your Great Qing Empire? No matter how big it is, you haven't passed on for 500 years, right? The Inca Empire has been around since the Northern Song Dynasty, and it has been around since the late Ming Dynasty.

However, such a powerful empire was actually conquered by an extremely small army of the Spaniard. You must know that you were beaten up twice by the English and French.

Xiao Letian used his simplest words to describe to the rulers of the Qing Dynasty a scene of the fall of the heavens and the fall of the earth. Xiao Letian had even set up a little ambush here, which was to give a little praise to Emperor Xian Feng and beautify his escape to the Chengde's mountain resort.

Look at how vicious the foreigners are! They would use the capture of the king as a meat buff and even if they paid the ransom, they would still tear it apart. They were not even human beings. As smart as we are, the emperors of the Qing Dynasty were able to tell at a glance that they were up to no good.

Xiao Letian was too confident. If this article could not move the rulers of the Qing Dynasty, then he would just do nothing, take away several hundred thousand taels of silver and hide his little days in the United States.

When the latest chapter of the strange text spread across the capital, the entire ruling class of Qing Dynasty was completely stunned. The nobles and officials of the royal families were all sighing over the tragedy that would happen during the collapse of the, and the high officials of the Chinese Officer were furious to see that westernization was actually so disloyal. Even the supposed martial men of Beijing patted their chests and scolded them.

"Damn it, this Spaniard is so shameless, she accepted the ransom and tore the tickets. If I were to meet him again, I will kill him!" This was incredible, Xiao Letian's essay was actually something that the men from Green Forest would love to read, even if they did not want it to become popular, they would not be able to do so.

As for us nine year old little emperors Tongzhi, we even slapped the table and spoke vulgarities. No one knew who taught us how to speak, but the eunuchs were so frightened that they all slapped their mouths.

Just as the Tongzhi Emperor was circling around the Yangxin Palace angrily, a group of people walked in from the main entrance. The one leading the group was the Eastern Palace Empress Dowager Ci An. Isn't it a happy morning when we greet you in the morning! "

"Greetings to the Emperor Mother!" The little emperor casually punched a thousand and then jumped up and said, "Isn't it just because we are angered by the foreigners? Didn't Mother see the latest 'Journey to the West' today? Those Spaniard s are too shameless, they are truly worse than beasts … "

Ci An looked at Tongzhi amiably. Although this child was not his biological son, he had been very close to him since childhood, and Tongzhi was the only one in the Great Qing Dynasty who had easily ascended the throne.

Tongzhi's succession was extremely smooth, no one in the imperial court or outside had any objections to it, his inheritance was so pure and clean that all the scholars in the world could not find any problems with it. This was the child's greatest strength of reliance. As long as he could rouse up a little bit, it would be possible for him to get the country to share his heart's desire.

Ci An sat on the bed and looked at the copy with his nails, then raised his hand for the emperor to sit beside him: "Oh Emperor, I have read this article too, but I am not as angry as you. The first thing I did was to order the Ministry of Internal Affairs to look for the foreigners, and ask them privately if this is true or not …"

Tongzhi was a clever person, he knew that the empress dowager was teaching him how to govern, so he quickly sat properly.

"Anger is useless. We should first investigate this matter. What if this Xiao fella is a scammer that cheats the world? "Then, your majesty, won't your anger turn to white hair?"

"Then the empress dowager asked, what was the result?" Tongzhi was still very curious.

Ci An's expression did not change at all, "Ministry of Internal Affairs sent people to question the missionaries of the United States of America in private, but in the end... In the end, everyone's answer was the same. Although they were all hesitating and a little embarrassed, there was only one conclusion … It's true, it can't be more true! "

Pa!! With a crisp sound, Tongzhi smashed the teacup. The broken porcelain pieces slashed the faces of the three eunuchs, and fresh blood dripped and dripped.

"This is the nature of the Yankees, greedy and despicable. But why did these barbarians get a power that I, Da Qing, don't have? "Just what kind of power is this …" Just as the little emperor was in pain, another group of people came in. It was Tongzhi's direct Mother, Empress Dowager Ci Xi.

"What's wrong, Huang'er? "His face is turning yellow from anger …" The moment Ci Xi entered the door, she cupped Tongzhi's face with both hands and rubbed it in pain. She was trying to demonstrate her strength to Ci An, and the subtext was' I am the true mother, so you better not steal my son '.

Ci An had long gotten used to Ci Xi's gaze. Being the son of a mother was the only way out for the women in the palace, who told the emperor to get close to him? It was normal for Ci Xi to be jealous.

"Little sister, take a look at this strange article. The Emperor is angry because of this story!" With that, he handed the article over. Ci Xi had already seen it, but her performance was different from Ci An's. "Your majesty, you don't have to worry about it, the Mother has everything, don't worry. "No matter how many times you try, you can't repeat those words again. Now that Long-hair has been pacified, the Great Qing's luck is on the rise. There will be a day when he will surpass those foreigners …"

Tongzhi was a little impatient, he rubbed his mother impatiently. He thought to himself, why does the Great Mother teach me how to handle everything? The Sacred Ancestor was already eight years old and had the wisdom to capture Ao Bai, but I am already nine years old and have no way to take control of the situation personally.

"Mother, Huang'er has an idea... I would like to announce this Xiao Letian to the imperial court as your official, what do you think? " Before she even finished speaking, Ci Xi had already frowned: "How can this be, I've already checked. This person is exactly the second evildoer, the Americans is protecting him now …."

"Just by the way he went to Hundred Blossom House that day, he probably didn't even want to be a official. If he became a government official and walked around in his overseas Chinese clothes, it would be too noisy!"

"Then can't I let this Xiao Letian enter the palace to study with me? Let him teach me western studies... " Tongzhi still did not give up.

"Even more so, if he were to teach the emperor Western Studies, then wouldn't the scholars of the court go crazy!? "It took me so much effort before I managed to stabilize the court. If you end up like this, who knows what might happen …"

"I can't do that, but I can't do that either. Do you want to suffocate me to death?" Tongzhi was so angry that he immediately started walking out. "I'm going to the imperial garden to relax, don't even think about following me …"

Ci Xi was so angry that tears were flowing out of his eyes, but Ci An advised, "Your majesty, it is not strange for you to have your own thoughts on this matter, but I will support you on this matter. This Xiao Letian's background is too weird. If we don't observe him for a while longer, we can't let the emperor come into contact with him! "

"You see, that's what I meant, but the emperor just doesn't understand my painstaking efforts …" Ci Xi rubbed her tears in grievance, but the corners of her eyes were filled with sinister intent.

You are the one who instigated the disharmony between mother and son. If not for the testamentary edict in your hands, I would have sent you to the late emperor a long time ago.

If Xiao Letian knew about today's matter, he would probably be dumbfounded. He never would have thought that his essay would actually have the effect of separating the affection between mother and son. However, the current him did not have the time to analyze the dirtiness between empress dowagers, as his plan on dealing with Wong Lao-Han Lin was about to begin.
