823 Jae-chun's pure heart
Zaichun was still thinking about the exam that Xiao Letian said, the rampant domineering of Shunlong Yangxing on the Yangtze River, and the helpless crying of the relatives of the dead sailors deeply stimulated the little emperor's heart.
He thought that Xiao Letian would help him and kill a few inconsequential foreign dogs, which was nothing to Xiao Letian. But Xiao Lotian stopped, he made it very clear, since you are angry and you have opened your mouth, then it is up to you to solve this problem.
The little emperor has been thinking about how to kill people during this time, killing six foreigners to pay for the unjust death, it is definitely useless to take the route of diplomatic interference, he himself does not dare to show up publicly in Jiangnan, let alone diplomatic interference.
If the bright one can't do it, then the one can only come to the yin, who said that the king has to be upright, and killing people in the dark is also a means.
Everyone put down their chopsticks, listening to the little emperor's murderous will, everyone did not dare to speak, and when the angry little emperor repeated the atrocities of Shunlong Yangxing, people found that Zaichun's eyes had contained tears.
On this occasion, Hu Xueyan didn't dare to speak at all, he lowered his head and pretended that he didn't exist, and Xiao Letian was now competing with a big crab, biting with a click, and he didn't mean to answer at all.
The ball had already been kicked in front of the Zeng brothers, and the two brothers really didn't expect Jae-chun to make such a request, which never appeared in their expectations.
It took a long time for Jiu Shuai to smile faintly, "Your Majesty, after all, this matter is a local criminal case, and it should be handed over to local officials to deal with, and the old minister doesn't understand, for the sake of the three lowly sailors who sail on the river, he risked making enemies with the British, is it worth it?"
In the end, Jiu Shuai also whispered to himself, "It's just that three Han people died......
Zaichun really couldn't help but be stimulated by his words, and he was furious, "In my eyes, all the people of the Qing Dynasty are my responsibility, where is there any difference between Manchu and Han...... Since they are my people and have paid taxes to me, I have an obligation to protect them!"
"Hahaha......" Zeng Guofan smiled, "Your Majesty said very good, but things in this world are not so simple, those who pay taxes may not be protected, and those who do not pay food are baby bumps......"
Zaichun knew what the marshal said, didn't he mean that the Manchurians did not pay food, not only did they not pay food, but they also enjoyed the protection and support of the dynasty, on the contrary, no one cared about the death of the most difficult Han people.
Zai Chun, who was red-eyed, said quietly, "Back then, the thief said to Confucius that there is a way to steal. The hidden in the room of the husband's delusion, the saint also. Be the first, be brave. After coming out, righteousness also. I know if it's okay, Zhiya. Evenly, benevolence also. Those who can become thieves without the five are unprepared, and there is no one in the world ......"
"Look at it, even the ruffians and gangsters have their own rules, and the Green Gang also pays attention to morality in doing things, and people collect protection money, and they all know to protect the business from being bullied by other gangs...... Can't the imperial court do it?"
"I am only 12 years old this year, and I don't know everything about the world before I get into politics, and I don't dare to guarantee that the rules left by my ancestors will be changed in the future, but I still have at least a pure heart...... I know what is right and wrong, and I am willing to reach out to help when I see injustice......"
"Could it be that the handsome and the prime minister just want to watch this fire in my heart be extinguished?
No one expected that Zaichun would actually come up with such a big truth, put aside all the messy shackles and entanglements, and go to the heart, that's what I think, I want to do it, this simple and unpretentious language actually brings out a little bit of the essence of Wang Yangming's mind.
The unity of knowledge and action, this is the essence of the mind, follow your own heart all the way forward, the heart of the child can not be extinguished, just stand on the stage to talk about the truth, but never do it in person, there are too many such people, and now what the Qing Dynasty needs is someone to do something in person.
The little emperor wanted to assassinate six foreigners to avenge the Han boatmen, Zeng Guofan did not approve of this method, but Zeng Guofan still had to agree today, because the little emperor's pure heart could not be covered with dust, and this fire could not be poured cold water.
The Zeng brothers, Xiao Letian and Hu Xueyan all stood up, and they bowed down to give a salute, "Your Majesty has such benevolence, how can the courtiers not obey, there will be good news within three days......"
Zaichun looked at Xiao Letian excitedly, "Master, I have solved your problem, how many points can I score?" Xiao Lotian said lightly, "The mind is very good, the means are average, barely sixty points!"
The little emperor was very disappointed and wanted to ask himself why he couldn't get a full score, but later Xiao Lotian had already talked with the Zeng brothers about the future development direction of foreign guns and fast guns, and Xiao Lotian was persuading the two marshals not to buy so many front-loading guns and mini bullets, that thing would be eliminated sooner or later.
The evening banquet was eaten until nine o'clock, and Zaichun took a small sedan chair to live in a small garden that night, which was a temporary residence of Zuo Jigao in Jinling, but it was actually a secret stronghold of the Hunan army, and many secret meetings were held here.
Xiao Lotian and Jae Chun were separated for a short time, because he knew that Jae Chun needed private space to make up for the lost forty points, and he had to understand what he was testing him.
The midnight of Jinling was silent, only the Qinhuai River in the distance was still faintly noisy, and when Zaichun sat down to accept the bow of the handsome, the little emperor suddenly had red eyes and tears rolled down.
Zaichun actually stood up, bowed to the two marshals and said, "I beg the two marshals to save me, and I beg the two marshals not to stand idly by, I am already in danger!"
"Ah, why did Your Majesty say this? Could it be that Xiao Letian dared to kill the king?"
"No, no, don't get me wrong, the danger I said is not around, but in the city of Beijing......" There were only two brothers in the house, Zaichun and the Zeng family, and the little emperor finally put aside all pretense and confessed to Zeng Guofan.
"The two great marshals, to tell the truth, when the Japanese Ryukyu army threatened the Japanese emperor, I had an epiphany! This is an era of great changes unseen in 3,000 years, and conformism will die sooner or later, this is certain, I don't want the Qing Dynasty to die, so if we want to reform, we must conform to the tide of the times......
"But the old forces will not easily hand over their power, who will spit out the meat in their mouths? Therefore, in the future, there will definitely be a war in Beijing, whether it is an open war or a secret war, there will always be deaths...... Now it seems that I am the one most likely to die!"
Zeng Guofan and Zeng Guoquan gasped, they didn't think that the little emperor was talking nonsense, but they didn't expect this kind of words to come out of the mouth of a 12-year-old child, how did Xiao Lotian educate him?
