1070 Emperor's power is granted by heaven?

Xiao Letian stood in the middle of the hall, looking around the officials and guests from all directions, his face as deep as water.

"Sometimes people's hearts have to bask in the sun. If they always cover the lid, they will inevitably become moldy and hairy..." Xiao Letian pointed at Ming Huangyuhuan and Zaichun's imperial edict and smiled.

"You can take out such a gift and give it to me, which means that many people have hair in their hearts, right?" His eyes stabbed at everyone like lightning, and indeed, many people's eyes dodged a little.

King Shangtai was already sweating all over his back after two battles. His eyes did not dare to face Xiao Letian. It was sometimes a terrible thing to open his heart to bask in the sun. At this moment, Xiao Letian was the scorching sun in the crowd.

"Shang Tai! Are you afraid of me?"

King Shangtai nodded subconsciously and shook his head and his face became paler and paler. Xiao Letian patted his shoulder and comforted him, "What are you thinking in your heart? I'm very clear and bold. If you don't say it, how do I know what you want? Do you have to guess?"

King Shangtai used all his courage to finally speak, "Prince...Prime Minister! You saved the Ryukyu Kingdom. Actually, I understand that in this great era, my small country ended sooner or later, and it was annexed by others. Either Japan or Western barbarians, or the Qing Dynasty, it might be you..."

King Shangtai completely took it aside. "This country was saved by the Prime Minister. As long as the Prime Minister speaks, take it away... I only hope that the incense of the Shang family's ancestral temple can be preserved, so that the Shang family, which we have been passed down for five hundred years, will be destroyed... Woooooo!" When King Shangtai said this, he covered his face and cried bitterly, and countless old Ryukyu ministers also shed tears.

"Hey..." Xiao Letian sighed, "You finally said this. Are you feeling much more comfortable when you say it? The feeling of basking in the sun began to hurt a little, but the warmth and refreshing stinging in the past was so warm!"

"Didn't you understand the meaning of my Chinese order? At the beginning, I have already said it very clearly. This is the basic constitution that the country controlled by the Chinese will believe in in the future! This is the law that exceeds the supreme imperial power. It not only restricts you, but also restricts me!"

"Now you figured it out? If the Chinese order is supported by the people in Ryukyu and implemented, then King Shangtai will be enthroned by the Chinese order again. Can anyone else take over your throne? Don't forget that even I, Xiao Letian, must abide by the Chinese order, and I am also bound by this order!"

The Prussian envoy Jonas in the crowd exclaimed, "Constitutional Monarchy! The Prime Minister wants to be the first to introduce a constitutional monarchy in East Asia? As expected, the wind can enter and the rain can enter, but the king cannot enter. Even the king must bow his head in front of the constitution. It is indeed a constitutional monarchy!"

Xiao Letian waved his hand, "You are just right. In this land of Asia, if we want to carry out constitutional monarchy, we still have many difficulties to overcome. This difficulty is the monarchy that Asians believe in for thousands of years!"

"Emperor! Emperor? The noblest profession in human history, the peak of power, and the ultimate representative of centralization. In China, the emperor was ordered by heaven and was known as the emperor! In Europe, the emperor was ordered by the pope and was the administrator sent by God on earth..."

"Eastern and the West, they all painted the emperor a deep mythical color..." Xiao Lotte-pin Pastor Lewis shrugged and smiled apologetically, "But the Western world is fortunate to usher in the Renaissance and the French Revolution. The ideological impacts have finally defeated the emperor's mysterious halo!"

"Now there are tsars in Europe and French emperors, but their authority is no longer the same. The rulers of the Sun-Don't Set Empire have only retained a title, namely the King and Queen. I have never heard of the British emperor and the Queen... But without an emperor it will not affect the British becoming the Sun-Don't Set Empire!"

"Western elites are very smart. They took the lead in abandoning the decadent idea of ​​the divine authority of the monarchy. Many chains pressed on the people were suddenly loosened. Although they were not completely released, they were at least at the forefront of other countries. This is the fundamental reason why Western civilization has made rapid progress over the past three or four hundred years!"

"Relax the constraints in people's hearts, and let creativity and productivity explode!"

Xiao Letian made a very aggrieved expression, and spread his hands open and turned over. "Look at your eyes just now, and the way King Shangtai looked like he was betrayed... I know, the moment I just finished listening to that paragraph, you didn't realize that the Chinese order also restrained me. You subconsciously thought that Xiao Letian wanted to make my own myths and create a farce of the divine right of the king, right?"

"Hahaha... Shangtai! I, Xiao Letian, have introduced the Chinese order, and the first one to restrain me! As long as you, Shangtai, get enthroned in front of the Chinese order, then you will be recognized by all Chinese people in the world. Can I, Xiao Letian, overthrow you? Isn't it my own to overthrow your Chinese order?"

Smack... Xiao Letian gently patted King Shangtai's face, "Silly boy! Do you understand this time?"

"Father Shang..." With a wolf howling cry, King Shangtai knelt in front of Xiao Letian, followed by all the old ministers of Ryukyu kneeled down. They finally understood what the Chinese order was, and this was their greatest life-saving talisman!

"I understand, Father Shang, I understand! One day with the Chinese order, my status is solid. Without the Chinese order, I am a duckweed in the wind! Father Shang, I was wrong... Woo woo woo woo!"

The crying moved everyone present. Everyone looked at Xiao Letian in a wrong way, especially Xiao Letian's direct descendants. They licked their lips and had a question mark in their hearts, "Will you not want Ryukyu? The Prime Minister doesn't want Ryukyu? Then what does the Prime Minister want!"

Xiao Letian turned his head and looked at Zaichun, "Child, do you understand? I agree with what you said just now. You said that in the Qing Dynasty, hundreds of millions of people still believe in the emperor and believe in the power of the emperor! These people who believe in your rule are the foundation of your rule!"

"King Shangtai found his life-saving talisman, that is, the Chinese people who believe in the Chinese order! And you Aisin Jueluo Zaichun, have you found the life-saving talisman for you Manchu? Have you ever thought about who should be enthroned on your throne? Your ancestors? Or that illusory heaven?"

"The Ming Dynasty collapsed! Manchus entered the pass and captured the world by archery and horse riding and shooting with the Eight Banners. Rather than saying that you were ordered by heaven, you were ordered by swords and swords! Fortunately, you are smarter than the Mongolians and know how to respect Confucianism and Taoism. As a result, Confucianism enthroned you once with the idea of ​​the monarchy's power and heaven's granting. This is how you have the truth!"

"Child, think about it carefully! This era is moving forward, and people's hearts are changing dramatically. Will the number of people who believe in the power of the king and heavenly power will increase? Or will it decrease?"

"You said the Chinese order is a threat? I think it is even more of a spur for you! I said it very clearly in the Chinese order. The Chinese will never use forced means to join. Only when you take the initiative to apply for it will we approve it. Only when we meet our conditions will we recognize your identity as a Chinese!"

"What are you afraid of in this way? If you do better than me and better than the Chinese Parliament, and the people live better under your governance than the Chinese Parliament, then what are you worried about?"

"Don't the people take the initiative to run into a happy life? The life of joining the Chinese is not as good as that of the Qing Dynasty. Do you think they will join the Chinese?"

"So, whether there is a Chinese order or not has no effect on you at all. As long as there are hundreds of millions of people who believe in the power of the king, then you will still be their emperor!"
