Xiao Letian stood in the middle of the Main Palace, looking around at the hundred officials and the guests in all four directions, his face as dark as water.
"People's hearts sometimes need to be exposed to the sun. If one keeps wearing a cap, it would inevitably become moldy and hairy …" Xiao Letian smiled as he pointed at the bright yellow jade ring and Zai Chun's imperial edict.
"To be able to present such a gift to me, it means that many people's hearts are already hairy, right?" His gaze was like lightning, piercing towards everyone. Indeed, many people avoided his gaze a little.
Shang Tai was already breaking out in cold sweat after the two battles. He did not dare to meet Xiao Letian head-on, as opening his heart to bask in the sunlight was sometimes a very frightening thing. But right now, Xiao Letian was like a blazing sun amongst the crowd.
"Shang Tai! "Are you afraid of me?"
Shang Tai subconsciously nodded, but he quickly shook his head, his face turning paler and paler. Xiao Letian patted his shoulder as he comforted him, "I am very clear on what you are thinking in your heart. If you don't tell me, how would I know what you want? Do I have to guess? "
Shang Tai used up all his courage to finally open his mouth. Prime Minister! The Ryukyu is saved by the Prime Minister, but I understand, in this era, sooner or later, my small country will be swallowed by someone, if it isn't Japan, then it will be the westernization, or maybe it's the Great Qing, and it can also be you … "
"This country was saved by the Prime Minister. As long as the Prime Minister asks for it, we can take it and give it to him …" I only hope that the Shang Family's Ancestral Cry can be preserved, don't let our Shang Family, which has survived for five hundred years, disappear just like that … "Wuu!" As he said that, Shang Tai covered his face and cried, countless of old officials of Ryukyu also began to cry.
"Sigh …" Xiao Letian let out a long sigh, "You finally said those words, don't you feel much better when you say them? The feeling of being exposed to the sun starts to hurt a little, but it's really refreshing to feel the warmth of the past! "
"Don't tell me that you still don't understand the meaning behind my Chinese order? I've already made it clear at the beginning that this is the basic constitution that the Chinese nation will have to believe in in in the future! This is a law that surpasses the supremacy of the imperial power. Not only will it restrain you, it will also restrain me! "
"Now you understand?" If the order was carried out by the people of the Ryukyu, then King Shang Tai would definitely receive the title of the order again. Don't forget, even I, Xiao Letian have to obey the Hua Clan Order, I am also bound by it! "
In the crowd, the Prussian envoy Jonas exclaimed, "The Monarch establishes a constitution! Was the Prime Minister going to be the first to introduce a constitutional monarchy in East Asia? "As expected, the wind can enter, the rain can enter, but not the monarch. Even the monarch has to lower his head in front of the constitution. This is indeed a monarchy!"
Xiao Letian waved his hand, "You are only partly right. In this Asian region, there are many difficulties that we have to overcome if we want to proceed with the establishment of a monarch constitution. This difficulty is the heaven's bestowing of the monarchy that the Asian has worshipped for thousands of years!"
"Emperor!" Emperor? The noblest occupation in the history of mankind, the peak of power, it was also the ultimate symbol of power. To be ordered in the sky by the Emperor of China, it was also known as the Son of Heaven! In Europe, the Emperor was ordered by the Pope to be the God's administrator on earth... "
"Regardless of whether it is in the east or west, the emperor has been painted with a deep mythical color …" "However, the Western World had the good fortune of welcoming the Renaissance and the French Revolution. They attacked the Emperor's mysterious halo again and again with their ideologies!"
"There are tsars and Emperor of France in Europe now, but their authority is no longer the same as it was in the past. Furthermore, the current ruler of the British Empire is only a noble king, a king and queen. However, the absence of an emperor does not affect Britain's chances of becoming a British Empire! "
The elites of the West are very smart. They have already abandoned the decadent idea bestowed upon them by the God of Monarchy, and many of the chains on the citizens' bodies have been loosened. Although they have not been released completely, they are already at the forefront of the rest of the nations, and this is the main reason why the Western Civilization has been advancing so arrogantly for the past three to four hundred years.
"Relax the restraints on the heart, causing creativity and productivity to erupt!"
Xiao Letian made a very wronged expression as he flipped it open with both hands. "Look at the looks in your eyes just now, as well as the look of Shang Tai, who looked as if he lost his parents … I know that the moment you heard that passage, you all didn't realize that the Chinese Order would also restrain me. You all subconsciously thought that I, Xiao Letian, would make my own myths about myself, and create another farce that was bestowed by the God of Monarch, right? "
"Hahaha …" Shang Tai! I, Xiao Letian, have pushed out the Chinese Order, and the first person I will be restricted is me! As long as you, Shang Tai, get the title in front of the Hua Clan Order, then your royal title will be accepted by all the Chinese in the world. Can I, Xiao Letian, overthrow you? If I overthrow you, I will overthrow my Chinese order. "
Pah pah pah … Xiao Letian lightly patted Shang Tai's face. "Foolish brat! Is that clear? "
"Shang Fu..." A wail that sounded like the howl of a wolf sounded out, Shang Tai Wang Putong knelt in front of Xiao Letian, following that, all the old officials of Ryukyu kneeled down, they finally understood what the order order was, it was their biggest life saving treasure!
Shang Fu, I understand! The day I have the Chinese Order, my position is solid. Without the Chinese Order, I would be a floating duckweed in the wind! Shang Fu, I was wrong... "Wuu!"
Everyone present was emotionally moved by the cry. The way they looked at Xiao Letian was no longer right, especially the direct descendants of Xiao Letian. They licked their lips and had a question mark in their hearts, "Do you not want this Ryukyu anymore? The Prime Minister doesn't want the Ryukyu anymore? What does the Prime Minister want!? "
Xiao Letian turned his head to look at Zai Chun, "Child, do you understand now? I agree with what you said just now. You said that there are hundreds of millions of citizens in Great Qing who still believe in the Son of Heaven and believe in the bestowment of power! "I believe that your citizens are the foundation of your rule!"
"King Shang Tai has found his life saving talisman, and are the Chinese who believe in the Chinese Order! And you, Ai Xinjueluozaichun, did you find a life saving talisman for your Manchu? Have you ever thought about who should bestow your throne? Your ancestors? Or is it that ethereal sky? "
"The Ming Dynasty collapsed! Instead of saying you are under the orders of the heavens, it would be better to say that you are under the orders of the swords! Fortunately, you guys are smarter than the Mongolian and know how to respect the Confucianism. In the end, the Confucius family used the monarch power of heaven to bestow you guys with the title of bestowal once, and that's how you guys get the chance! "
"Child, think about it! This era was vast and unstoppable. The number of people who believed in the bestowal of authority in the future would increase exponentially. Or will it decrease? "
"You said the Chinese Order is a threat? I think it's more of a spur to you! I made it clear on the Chinese Order that the Chinese would never force anyone to join us. Only if you take the initiative to apply for approval will we be able to meet our requirements to acknowledge you as a Chinese! "
"What are you afraid of? If you do better than me, if you do better than the Chinese Grand Council, if the tens of thousands of citizens live better under your governance than under the Chinese Parliament, then what are you worried about? "
"Aren't the citizens actively running towards a blissful life? If you join the Chinese side, your life would be better than Da Qing. Do you think they will still join the Chinese side? "
"So, the existence of a Chinese Order does not affect you at all. As long as hundreds of millions of people believe that the Emperor's authority is bestowed by the heavens, you will still be their emperor!"
