Chapter 140 - Hair Hole

Hairy # 2 was on his knees on the ground. His whole body was shaking. How could a fourteen year old child not be afraid? However, Er Mao still had a strong desire to repay this kindness. Under the influence of this feeling, even if he was scared to death, he wouldn't give up on the perseverance in his heart.

"Return... In reply to Her Majesty … I, no, no, no. I'm talking about Xiao Letian … "He's not my master, he should already be considered my father …" Er Mao's words made the Tongzhi emperor laugh.

"Mn, that's right. If Fu Hui marries Xiao Letian, you are his son. What kind of monster would have sons? Why are you, a young eunuch, so different? You're obviously this scared, yet you can still say those words? "

Not a single eunuch in general dared to speak a word when they were scolded. Some of them kowtowed with all their might and begged for mercy, some of them trembled like sifting chaff, and some even fainted because of fear. Tongzhi had never seen a eunuch like Hairy # 2, who was obviously scared to death, whose mind was still clear, and who still had the guts to keep on replying.

Interesting, this little eunuch was really interesting. Almost subconsciously, Tongzhi wanted to get him to his side. But at this time, Ci Xi became angry, and with a strange expression on her cold face, she said, "Ah, Little An … You really don't know how to serve. How should this eunuch negotiate for a punishment? "

An Dehai, who had just thrown the palace maid outside, fell to the ground and shouted, "Stick, if you don't say anything else, the staff will kill you!"

"Sure, let's have twenty sticks at the door first. Let me hear it. Don't hit it too hard …" Ci Xi's eyes flowed with hatred, she couldn't explain why he was so angry, maybe it was because Hairy # 2 had knowledge that even she didn't know, and was feeling jealous.

It was precisely this kind of weird knowledge that had defeated the Great Qing Empire multiple times. Furthermore, it was because Ci Xi knew nothing about the West that he did not know anything about it, other than that he did not know anything about it.

Ci Xi was extremely furious in his heart. Ever since the information from the Ryukyu was sent back to the country, no one in the palace was able to understand this matter. Even he himself had become blind and illiterate. Yet today, a fourteen year old young eunuch was able to analyze the situation in the Ryukyu so well.

"Hit him slowly, don't kill him immediately. This palace is really getting more and more out of hand. It's really impossible not to kill the chickens …" Tongzhi was after all, Ci Xi's biological son. With a glance, he knew that Mother was about to make a move, so he hurriedly said "Ah, Mother …"

"Shut up and sit back down! The mighty Great Qing Emperor does not have the slightest bit of dignity of an emperor. Later, let Zhou Daoying explain the rules to you … " When Tongzhi heard this, his face immediately turned bitter.

At this time, Hairy # 2 had already been dragged out of the hall. An Dehai personally pressed Hairy # 2 onto the ground with his blade, and he didn't even have time to pull off his pants. Hurry up and thank Master for the reward! " An Dehai's face turned sinister, and shouted as he punched.

"Thank you for the reward, Mistress …"Hm! "Thank you for the reward, Mistress …" Hairy # 2 had to thank him every time he took a hit, and he couldn't cry out for pain. This was the rule of the palace.

"Stinking brat, I've taught you rules for several months, can't you learn? "AHH!" "You just can't learn it right …" An Dehai scolded as he fought, four or five battles later on he started to sweat profusely, "Little bastard, you dare to go against our ancestors' rules? Did you forget that eunuchs can't negotiate politics? "We're not the only ones, we're all bastards, do you know …"

An Dehai threw the wooden staff to the young eunuch, wiped off his sweat and squatted in front of Er Mao while cursing, "Brat, tell me, are you a bastard? Are we eunuchs bastards? How dare you talk about politics when you don't even have a family? That's what adults do. You don't even have treasures, and you still dare to learn this? You still dare to spout nonsense in the palace? You deserve... "Bah!" A mouthful of phlegm was spat on Er Mao's face.

Hairy # 2 was now in so much pain that he started to sweat profusely. Every time he received a stick, he would have to thank Master for the reward, and with An Dehai's venomous voice nagging at him, Hairy # 2 felt as if he had fallen into a hot pan of oil.

Amidst the torment, a voice appeared in his mind, 'This damned eunuch system, I will abolish it sooner or later! It wasn't his bloodline that decided whether a person was noble or cheap, nor was it the health of his body. It was only based on the values in his heart! 'The root in your body is gone, but the root in your heart can't be lost! '

That was what Xiao Letian had said before he sent him to Beijing, and it was precisely this kind of encouragement that warmed him up. He was still a kid, not to mention in the cold grave-like Forbidden City, he still hadn't forgotten that he was still alone.

Soon, Hairy # 20 was about to be finished. At this moment, Hairy # 2's consciousness was a bit blurry. However, he was still muttering to himself nonstop as if he was thanking him or saying some other nonsense.

On the throne, Emperor Tongzhi's eyes were darting around anxiously, he suddenly asked. Asking, "Royal Uncle, may I ask if what Er Mao said about the political situation in Ryukyu is true or false? In addition, the imperial family had said that eunuchs were not allowed to discuss politics, but if the emperor took the initiative to ask, were eunuchs also not allowed to negotiate politics? What exactly did the clan rules say? "

Yi? Hearing that, his heart shook, and he glanced at Ci Xi from the corner of his eyes, but he could not not not answer the emperor's question. "The political situation between the Ryukyu and Japan should be like that, Er Mao's words are pretty close. As for the ancestral family rules, I don't really remember too clearly either …"

Looking at Yi? With an awkward expression, Ci An finally couldn't hold it in and said, "Sister, Hairy # 2 is a teenager after all. Even if he is showing off a little, he shouldn't be sentenced to death. Just teach him a lesson …"

At this time, Ci Xi's anger had decreased, he was not the only person who held power and love for Guang Xu, there was a lot of people in the imperial court who could restrict her, and's position was above hers.

"Elder sister, you are too kind. A eunuch must not be at ease discussing politics. Over a hundred years in Qing Dynasty, we did not have a single overseer because of the family rules of our ancestors. We learned the root of the calamity …"

"Alright, alright. The Zu Clan's rule is to give people a chance to start anew. Even this Ermeng has been beaten, so just release your anger. After all, he's your cousin's foster son …"

Speaking of which, Yi? She had no choice but to speak up. "Esteemed empress dowager, it's better to dismiss the people first. We should talk about proper matters now …" He watched as the eunuchs led their servants away. He said earnestly.

"Empress Dowager, this Er Mao still needs to keep his life. This means that Xiao Letian still likes him a lot. If we were to kill Hairy # 2, what would Xiao Letian think? "

"He will believe that Er Mao died because of Western learning. This means that the Imperial Court chose the Pure Flow Gui Chen and decided to massacre Western learning. "Then he would be even more afraid to return home. But with the current political situation, how about we not learn from the west?"

"This subject has been paying attention to every matter in the Industrial Zones during this period of time. Honestly speaking, it is too difficult, there is only resistance from top to bottom, and everyone here has their eyes turned black. Should he start with the textile industry, or with the Steel plant? Or was it like what Xiao Letian said, to develop their military power first? None of us know … "

Yi? Subconsciously looking up at the sky outside the window, he said sorrowfully, "When the English and French entered Beijing, I stayed behind as the prince. I saw with my own eyes the power of the westernization, with its cannons and guns. When the news of Seng Gelinqin's defeat reached me, I already knew that it was impossible to not study in the west …"

Speaking of which … He stared at the little Emperor fervently and said, "Your Majesty, please don't take the words of the Gui Chen to heart. We need to learn Western blessings!"

These words caused the people inside the hall to become sad. When Ci Xi and Ci An thought about their five years of escape into the Chengde, their eyes filled with fear. After a long while, Ci Xi finally said: "Then what should Xiao Letian do? Who could stop such a reckless monkey from causing trouble? Besides, which of us knows what he's thinking? "It's not like he's that group of Gui Chen, he's just learning from the teachers. We really can't control his pulse …"

What Ci Xi said was the truth, every step Xiao Letian took from the start was unimaginable. The > had the admiration of countless literati in the world. A plan for a Industrial Zones gave him an ideal way to break out of this predicament, and in the Tanggu, he could even borrow a knife to kill people and help the imperial government forcefully break through this bottleneck.

Until now, Xiao Letian had actually still revealed his military capabilities, and was able to turn over a business deal with that Ba was actually able to destroy Japan, and lead troops to pacify the rebellion of a country. Damn it, is there anything in the world he doesn't know how to do?

He could write books, he could do business, he could balance politics, he could even fight … As if this guy could do anything but not have children. The impression Xiao Letian gave on the Great Qing Dynasty Hall was no longer one of admiration but one of fear.

Yi? Gritting his teeth, he said, "It doesn't matter, we have a way. Even if he is Monkey Sun, he won't be able to escape the suppression of this Five Fingers Mountain of Great Qing." Didn't Hairy # 2 say that Xiao Letian would return back home as an official? Then let's see, if we really reject the position of Prime Minister of the Ryukyu, that would mean that this brat can still be saved … "

"Didn't you make Xiao Letian the young master of our Manchu? Then, let's wait for his return and see if he marries Fu Hui. We can first imprison him in the Beijing … "

Yi? His words were so cold that it caused Tongzhi to shiver, "Give up his position and return home. After that, marry Fu Hui immediately and obediently live in peace in Beijing. You won't allow him to leave the capital for ten years, let's make a cage made from golden silk and specifically lock him up … If he can accept it, then it means that this fierce horse can still be trained. "

"If he doesn't listen, he always wants to run out of the cage … A single cup of poison could take his life! Even if there is a foreigner protecting him, it will not be enough to stop us from secretly attacking him. Hehehe … Your majesty, the empress dowager, don't worry. A single Alone overseas can't challenge a person who has a heritage of two hundred years! "

"Hm!" Good... Uncle has indeed done things safely. Now that Uncle Sun is unable to return, no matter how good Eastsea Dragon Palace is, it will not be a place for him to stay for long! "

"Hahaha, your majesty, don't worry. Monkey Sun won't stay in the sea for long, so he'll snatch some treasures from the Dragon King and come home to enjoy himself. As long as we don't learn Jade Emperor's stingy strength and pawn him, won't he be able to enjoy himself?"

"Hahaha …" Uncle is really funny. He even dares to joke with the Jade Emperor. Isn't he afraid of losing his tongue … However, this logic was still very true. Who among the heroes of this world could pass through the hurdle of greed and greed? If I does not give him a Water Curtain Cave, I will give him a Grand View Garden … "
