An important factor that cannot be separated from the stability of the regime in the Middle Ages is the closure of public opinion. The household registration system has lasted for thousands of years in China. The people have been locked in their hometowns. They have received very low education. Not only are there no newspapers, TV and other media, but more than 90% of them are illiterate.

The law stipulates that people should not leave their hometown for a hundred miles at will, so their world is only one county or just one town. The outside world is completely a myth for them.

In a closed and ignorant society, there are only two ways for people to receive information. One is the official rotation. The county government will regularly issue some court policies, such as tax cuts, the emperor's wedding, the emperor's birthday, and the world's amnesty... and so on.

It is absolutely impossible for you to expect the court to reveal your family's shame. The second way to receive information is to pass on word of mouth. Those monks who travel around, merchants who travel far away, and small vendors who walk around the streets, including those who travel around the country and the world in their mouths, the world they talk about constitutes the Qing Dynasty as the people fantasy.

It's ridiculous to say that the word "going around the world" is neutral in Chinese vocabulary, which is a respectful title for those who are knowledgeable among the people.

In ancient times, if you had no fame and fortune, you were not a big landlord, but you were lucky enough to travel around the country. Even if you had only experienced five or six counties, you could be considered a capable person in your hometown. Even the small landlords in each village and town must look up to you. At the red and white banquets, such people must sit in the main seat.

From this we can see that the degree of closure among Chinese people in the Middle Ages!

Because of the closure and ignorance, the court can cover up those ugly things at will, because they know that even if the capital is broken, the news will be difficult to pass to the whole country, let alone to the people. The people are actually just blind people.

All the court had to do was to control the mouths of scholars. As long as the scholars and juren in the fields and the pampered juren did not speak nonsense, as long as they still said that the court was good, that would be enough, and the Qing Dynasty's country would still be stable.

The Rakshasa ghost cut off millions of square kilometers of land in the Far East by relying on the negotiating table? Sorry, it has been severing for ten years. In fact, the people in the Central Plains don’t know at all. They don’t even have the concept of the Far East, let alone what those territories are.

However, if the Qing Dynasty officially started a war with the Rakshasa ghosts and mobilized the resources and forces of the whole country to engage in national war, then this news would not be concealed. Because once the war broke out, all provinces, prefectures, counties, and villages would have to mobilize, recruit soldiers, collect grain, and collect cowhide to build iron tools, including concentrating civilians.

The whole country has to move, and resources are concentrated from every village. Now the news can't be concealed. All hundreds of millions of people across the country know about this war, so looking forward to the final victory has become an inevitable desire in people's hearts.

But can the Qing Dynasty win? The answer is very ambiguous. The Qing Dynasty, who is already afraid of foreign countries, really dares to fight against the Rakshasa ghosts. What if it loses? The court's face will be lost, and the foundation of the Qing Dynasty's rule will be loosened accordingly.

Ryuma Sakamoto broke it apart and instilled this truth into Emperor Tongzhi bit by bit. Zaichun, who was already smart, understood everything by just turning his mind. His fists tightly clenched and his humiliation surged into his heart, and his face turned extremely red.

The iron was going to be hot. Ryuma Sakamoto knew that the heat had arrived, and the pig iron had been burned soft, and the last wedge finally fell.

"Oh... I'm not sorry to say a thousand words and ten thousand, but it's not a puppy to sell my land! Even the world cannot escape the cause and effect. If the concubines of the officials controlled by the thief were not greedy to steal everyone's property, she wouldn't have attracted foreign ghosts..."

"Similarly! If there were no corrupt smuggling groups created by Yishan and others, then they would not have been mixed with the Rakshasa ghosts, and they would not have had a handle in the hands of the other party, and the court would not be so passive at the negotiating table!"

"After all, this country is not theirs! After all, it is not theirs..."

"Haha, hahaha..." Zai Chun laughed, laughing so sadly. "Stop talking, I already understand what the mage said! So that's it, so that's it. The game of chess is really complicated. I thought I had made all the preparations for entering the game..."

"But I never expected that people didn't even tell me the most basic rules! I am just a fool, and in the future I will be a puppet who will be empty!"

"If there was no such trip to the Far East, if there were no such war in Vladivostok, would the secrets of Yishan and Tepxin be hidden forever?"

Ryuma Sakamoto nodded, "Yes, not only will it be hidden now, but there will be no ink on the history books in the future!"

With a muffled bang, Zaichun punched the table, "Okay! They are all loyal ministers! Big loyal ministers... I can imagine that if I didn't know all this, I would sit on the dragon throne and take charge of the rule. Seeing that they were all loyal ministers, I was still full of my heart..."

"Hahaha... But they may not be able to laugh at me in their hearts. They fool me, a fool, and run back and forth on the wall. I will bear the infamous forever. They will be affordable! Is this my minister? OK..."

Zai Chun laughed and cried like a madman, "All are actors! They are all famous actors! They knelt three times in the hall, shouting long live in their mouths, and said loyal words... Why do they all play so similar? They are all famous actors from Sijiu City! A group of stinky actors..."

The grief and angry Zaichun grabbed Ryuma Sakamoto's hand and whispered, "Master teaches me! Please give me compassion and guidance, please give me advice... As long as I take power, the Yonghe Palace in Beijing will be yours! I will give you the national teacher, just ask you to help me!"

"I'm really at a loss now, I really don't know what to do!"

A feeling of sadness surged in Sakamoto Ryuma's heart. Is this the emperor? This is the emperor in the eyes of the people? In fact, he is just a pitiful person. Why do so many people in all dynasties have to grab such a chore? It's stupid!

"If your Majesty doesn't say it, I will also give advice for your Majesty! I have been abolished by the Prime Minister from the power system. Although I can still stay by the Prime Minister to participate in politics and affairs, everyone knows that I have no hope of being awarded a title in my life. This is the punishment for the Prime Minister to face me..."

"I can pardon you! After I took power, I will become the emperor of the Qing Dynasty. I can use you more! If the master returns to secular life, he will be an important minister in the court and a nobleman! If you don't want to return to secular life, you can choose whatever you want in the capital temple! I will support you..."

"Forget it, forgot! Even if I owe Your Majesty this cause and effect! Who made you and me destined to be together, I will help you get on the horse!"

Ryuma Sakamoto came to Zaichun and whispered, "I'll give His Majesty a word first, you will understand him well these days!"
