Volume VIII 1088 The End of an Era

Next chapter

Fan Yao's voice sounded faintly in the main hall, and no one dared to disrespect this old man who had no official titles, not only because he was Xiao Letian's father-in-law, but also because he also controlled the financial lifeline of the entire Ryukyus.

"When people are old, sometimes they don't have any scruples when they speak, and they don't like to listen to everyone! Why I don't want this title, one of the reasons is because this title is of no use to me!"

"Yes, I'm old, I don't have a few years to live, and I don't have a son, only a daughter, she is better than me, I believe my uncle will treat him well, what use do you say I want a title?

"If it's useless to me, why should I care!"

"The second point is that I also want to use my concession to remind everyone present!" Fan Yao's voice suddenly became stern.

"People's hearts are fickle and do not suffer from widowhood but unevenness, this is a law that our ancestors have figured out for thousands of years! Why did the prime minister introduce the Chinese code, why did he want to make six lords and eighteen others? The purpose is to reward merit, that is, to let all the people of the Chinese nationality have a head in life and know what they should do in order to live a good life, and nobility is the lofty goal pursued by the people's hearts!"

"With such a goal, people's hearts will not be chaotic, they will not only think about money and women, and there will not be more rebellions like Yang Zhi! There are many people like that, who think they have great merit and hope to get many rewards, once they fail to meet his psychological expectations, betrayal is inevitable!"

"Now that the Chinese code has set rules for everyone, and has also given the reward of noble titles for everyone's merits, everyone present is full of joy, and the old man is also happy for you in his eyes, but ......"

"But since ancient times, one benefit and one disadvantage, yin and yang are all entangled! Today's joy may turn bad in half a year, do you know what I mean?"

There was silence in the hall, and it was estimated that a needle could be heard when it was dropped, and some smart people already knew what the old shopkeeper was going to say, and they fell into contemplation one by one.

"Maybe in half a year, your joy will change, and some people will have a desire to compare, and you will wonder why my credit is a baron, and why his credit is a viscount?"

"Why is it that with the same title, I am the third class and others are the first class?

"Huh...... This is not a joke, and it is not that I am alarmist, this is the human heart, as long as you still have the heart of comparison, then this kind of thinking cannot be avoided!"

"Don't deny it, because you are not a saint or an immortal! Today, the prime minister named me a duke, which can really be described as a high-ranking official, may I ask who is against it?"

No one said anything, Fan Yao nodded, "Since no one objected, then it means that I, Fan Yao, have the qualifications for this duke...... I have this qualification but I don't want it, I give up this duke, I just want the people present to remember it for future generations!"

"There was once such a stupid old man, who was canonized by the duke, but he didn't want to! With the example of this stupid old man in front, your comparison can be used on me casually! When you are dissatisfied, think about the stupid old man Fan Yao, maybe your mood can be much calmer!"

Fan Yao suddenly burst into tears, "If you think about me again, and think about the martyrs who died before the Chinese Code and were enshrined in the Temple of the God of War, then what else do you compare to? What is the injustice in your heart? At least we are alive and canonized, what about them?"

The hall where he said something was completely cold, and everyone's hearts seemed to be pressed with a heavy stone, and everyone's mouths were bitter.

Xiao Letian's four heavenly kings were the first to walk in front of the old shopkeeper, first salute and then bow ninety-degree, and they shouted in unison, "The lessons of the elders will never be forgotten by the younger generations!"

Everyone present bowed to Fan Yao almost at the same time, "The training of the elders, the younger generations dare not forget it for the rest of their lives!"

Fan Yi smiled, he walked to the side of his elder brother Fan Ru, looked at his brother who had smoked a lot, and said lightly, "Brother, don't be angry, I don't want this duke, I'll send you home!

Several members of the Fan family carefully supported Fan Ru, who was half-asleep and half-awake, and walked out of the hall under the attention of countless people, and Fan Yao carefully supported him.

After Fan Ru was sent back to Shanxi, he died of illness within half a year at the age of 78, which was already considered a long life in the late Qing Dynasty. After the death of his brother, Fan Yao actually gave up all his responsibilities in the Ryukyus and chose to return to his hometown for the elderly.

Fan Yao once had a secret conversation with his daughter, "Before the Chinese code was introduced, my uncle's career was even a rootless duckweed, and once the Chinese code was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and supported by all the people, it means that Lotte's career has been deeply rooted in the earth!"

"At this time, it doesn't matter whether I continue to work or not! It's time for me to enjoy my happiness, an era is finally over!"

Just as the Ryukyu New Year's banquet was coming to an end, in distant Prussia, the Wing King Shi Dakai stood by the window and looked to the east and fell into deep contemplation.

Like Fan Yao, he is also a noble person of Xiao Letian, and he has received an encrypted telegram from Xiao Letian before, in which Xiao Lotian also revealed his intention to make him a first-class duke of the Chinese family.

However, Xiao Letian's tone in the telegram was only to consult and not to convey, which means that Xiao Letian could only discuss with him in this matter and absolutely did not dare to give orders.

"Xiao Letian, I have already read your Chinese Order, if you really implement the Chinese Decree according to your ideas, then the gold content of you, a first-class duke, is much higher than that of me, the Wing King!"

"What is the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom? After seeing this world, I realized that that the Heavenly Kingdom fart is not a single fart, and it is a nightmare to say that he is a dream, not even a beautiful dream!"

"The Kingdom of Heaven, which has not even won half of the rivers and mountains, what is the gold content of the canonized prince? Look at your Chinese decree again, there is no smell of blood at all, but it has already won the hearts of the Chinese people in the world, I dare not imagine how much turmoil this Chinese decree will cause when it is transmitted to the Han ethnic groups in the world!"

"Hehe, you can make me a duke, this is really a deep love for me!

The Winged King clenched his fists, "I don't belong to your era, I can't join your future cause, because I carry the legal inheritance of the Kingdom of Heaven on my body, and if I integrate into it, it means that a wisp of ghost of the Kingdom of Heaven has been wrapped around the body of the Hua clan!"

"Xiao Hexin They finally cleared their hands, and finally appeared in front of the world with a new identity, how can I go to dismantle the stage and make trouble? If I appear under the sky of Asia, how should those veterans choose? How will they face me, the old master?"

Thinking of this, the Wing King trembled his lips and whispered, "I'm sorry, I can't accept your kindness! I can only give up, and I swear, the rest of my life will never be Asian, please exile me in this world!"

The oath of the Winged King Shi Dakai was not broken until his death, and he lived in seclusion in Europe, and was buried on the stone bridge heights after his death, with the tombstone facing east. For mobile phone users, please visit wènhttp://mnet
