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... Back to Liu Steel... I, no no no, I mean Xiao Letian... "He's not me, Master. He should be my father now …" Mao's words amused Emperor of Tongzhi.
"Un, you're right. If Fu Hui were to marry Xiao Letian, wouldn't you be his son?" Is there really a monster? Is there really a monster that has a son? Why are you so unique, Young Eunuch? You're obviously this scared, yet you can still say those words? "
Emperor of Tongzhi had seen those eunuchs who were convicted more than once, and generally, none of the eunuchs who were scolded dared to speak. Some of them kowtowed desperately and begged for mercy, some of them trembled like a sieve begging for forgiveness, and there were even some who fainted due to fright.
Interesting, this Young Eunuch was really interesting. Almost subconsciously, Emperor of Tongzhi wanted to bring him to his side. But at this time, Ci Xi became angry. With a cold expression, she said, "Little An …" You really don't know how to serve. How should this eunuch negotiate for a punishment? "
An Dehai, who just threw palace maid out the door, hit the ground a thousand times, "A staff will be shot. If you don't say anything more, you'll be killed!"
"Sure, let's have twenty sticks at the door first. Let me hear it. Don't hit it too hard …" Ci Xi's eyes were filled with hatred. She couldn't explain why he was so angry. It was probably because Mao'er had knowledge that even she didn't know, so she felt jealous.
It was precisely this kind of weird knowledge that had defeated the Daqing multiple times. It was also because she knew nothing about the West that she did not know anything about the things outside the country. It was this kind of weird knowledge that made her angry.
Ci Xi was furious in his heart. Ever since the information from the glume was sent back to his country, not a single person in the entire court could understand what had happened. Even he himself had become blind and illiterate. And today, a fourteen year old Young Eunuch was able to analyze the situation in the glume so well, Ci Xi's heart was filled with a sour smell.
"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 own son. With a single glance, he knew that Frontalis was going to kill him. He hurriedly said, "Frontalis, ah …"
"Shut up and sit back down! The dignified Daqing's Emperor didn't have the slightest bit of authority shown to him by Liu Tie. Later on, I will have Zhou Daoying explain the rules to you … " Emperor of Tongzhi's face instantly turned bitter after hearing that.
At this time, Hairy # 2 had already been dragged out of the hall. An Dehai personally pressed Hairy # 2 onto the ground with the knife. He didn't even have time to pluck the Pants before the wooden staff ferociously hit him. Hurry up and thank Master for the reward! " An Dehai's face turned ferocious, shouting as he punched.
"Thank you, Master …" Hm! "Thank you, Master …" "Mao had to thank him every time he took a blow, and he couldn't cry out for pain. This was the rule of the palace.
"Stinky kid, I've taught you rules for months, and you just can't learn them?" "AHH!" "You just can't learn it right …" An Dehai scolded as he continued to fight. After four to five battles, he started to sweat. "Little bastard, you dare to disobey ancestor's 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 cane to Young Eunuch, wiped off his sweat and squatted in front of Er Mao, scolding, "Stinky kid, do you think you're a slut? Are we eunuchs bastards? How dare you talk about politics when you don't even have a family? That was all done by Sun Tie and his men. You don't even have a Baby, how dare you 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.
Second Mao was now sweating profusely from the pain. Every time he took a blow, he would shout out a "Thank you for your praise, Master." In addition, An Dehai's venomous voice was resounding in his ears. Second Mao 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 said to him before he sent him to Beijing. It was precisely this kind of encouragement that warmed him up and made him remember that he was still a kid, even in Forbidden City as cold as a grave.
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.
Emperor Tongzhi, who was sitting on the throne, was so anxious that his eyes were rolling. He suddenly opened his mouth and asked Yi? Asking, "royal uncle, may I ask if what Er Mao said about the political situation in glume is true or false? Besides, in the family law of ancestor, the eunuchs were not allowed to discuss politics, but if Emperor took the initiative to ask, could the eunuchs also not negotiate politics? "What exactly did ancestor's family rules say?"
Yi? Hearing this, his heart skipped a beat. He glanced at Ci Xi from the corner of his eyes, but he couldn't not answer Emperor's question. He could only say hesitantly, "Mhm …" The political situation between glume and there should be that kind of situation, Er Mao said that it should be pretty close, as for ancestor's family law, I don't really remember too clearly … "
Looking at Yi? With an awkward expression, Ci An finally couldn't help but open his mouth. "Sisters, Hairy # 2 is a teenager after all. Even if he's a little pretentious, he shouldn't be sentenced to death. Just teach him a lesson …"
At this time, Ci Xi's anger had also decreased a little. At this time, she was not like light thread, who only had love for power. There was a lot of people in court that could restrict her, and Ci An's position was above her.
"Big Sister, you're too kind. Eunuch, you can't be careless in discussing politics. The reason why our Daqing did not produce an overseer for more than a hundred years is because we have ancestor as our family, and because we have learned the root of the calamity …"
"Alright, alright. ancestor's family law requires you to give him a chance to start anew. Even if you beat him up, it's fine to vent your anger. After all, he's your cousin's foster son …"
Speaking of which, Yi? He had no choice but to speak up. "Empress Mother, it's better to dismiss the staff first. We should get down to business …" He watched as Chief Eunuch led his subordinates and left. He said earnestly.
"Oh, Empress Mother, this Er Mao still wants to keep his life. "Since he was acknowledged by Fu Hui as her foster son and was able to learn so much western knowledge, it means that Xiao Letian still likes him a lot. If we kill Hairy # 2, what will Xiao Letian think?"
"He would think that Er Mao died because of Western learning, which means that court chose Qing Gui Chen and wanted to start a massacre. "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 single matter in the Industrial Zones. To be honest, it is too difficult, there is only resistance from top to bottom. Should he start with the textile industry or the Steel factory? Or was it like what Xiao Letian said, to develop their military industry first? None of us know … "
Yi? Subconsciously looking out the window at the sky, he said sorrowfully, "When English and French entered the Beijing, I stayed behind to guard Prince. I saw westernization's power with my own eyes, and when the news of the defeat of Seng Gelinqin spread, I already knew that it was impossible to not study in the west …"
Speaking of which … He stared passionately at Little Kaiser and said, "Your Majesty, don't take Gui Chen's words to heart. Our Daqing needs to study Western!"
These words caused the people in the hall to become sorrowful. Zhou Tie and Ci An then thought back to their five years of flight to Chengde, and their eyes all revealed fear. After a long while, Ci Xi finally said, "Then what should I do with Xiao Letian? Sun Monkey, who was so unruly, knew how to cause trouble. Who could stop him? Besides, which of us knows what he's thinking? "It's not like he's that Gui Chen, he's just learning from the teachers. We really can't take his pulse …"
What Ci Xi said was the truth. Xiao Letian had appeared from the beginning and every step he took was unexpected. A The Journey to the West book respected all the 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 court forcefully break through this barrier.
Until now, Xiao Letian had actually still revealed his military skills. He was able to destroy Japan with just a business trip and lead troops to put an end to 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 Daqing 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 Sun Monkey, he won't be able to escape the suppression of the Daqing. Didn't Mao say that Xiao Letian would resign and return home? "Then let's take a look. If he really quits the position of glume's Liu Shuang, then that means that there's still hope for Kid …"
"Empress Mother, didn't you name Xiao Letian as our Manchu's Young Master? Then, we shall wait for his return and see if he marries Fu Hui. We shall first put him under house arrest in the Northern Capital City … "
Yi? His words were so cold that it made Emperor of Tongzhi shiver. "Give up his position and return to your home, then immediately marry Fu Hui and obediently live in the Northern Capital City. Don't let him leave the Capital City for ten years, we'll make a cage made of golden silk for him and 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 … Empress Mother and Emperor, don't worry, the Daqing's two hundred years of heritage is not something that a single Alone overseas can challenge! "
"Hm!" Good... As expected, Uncle has done his job steadily. Now, it's up to Sun Monkey to come back. No matter how good Eastsea Dragon Palace is, it's not a place for him to stay for long! "
"Hahaha, Empress Mother Emperor, don't worry, Sun Monkey won't stay in the sea for long, snatching some Baby from the Dragon King, so naturally he will come home to enjoy it. As long as we don't learn the Jade Emperor's stingy energy and praise him, how can this little monkey not be used?"
"Hahaha …" Uncle was truly funny. He even dared to joke with the Jade Emperor. Was he not 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 Wailing Home does not give him a Water Curtain Cave, Wailing Home will give him a Grand View Garden … "
