4184 Abandoned like a shoe

After worshiping the coffin of the Grandmaster, Xiao Letian accepted the thanks from the second young master, and then helped him up with both hands, "The Second Young Master, don't you know that the eldest young master has received the news?"

"He is concerned. My brother has received a telegram this morning and has already set out to the capital. It is only a long way to get there, I'm afraid it will be difficult to arrive in a short time..."

"Well! It's a question... Where is the eldest son now?"

"My brother is counting the local deficit accounts in Suide. After receiving the telegram, he immediately got up and returned to Beijing. Lord Baosheng has already given my brother a holiday!"

"Ah? Where is Suide! It's too far, too far... In this way, you can immediately send someone to contact Lord Fuqing and stay with a family member at the Qing Dynasty Telegram Bureau!"

"Let your brother Zeng Jize enter Shanxi from Suide to the east, and send a telegram to Beijing wherever he goes, report the location and where he will be tomorrow!"

"I'll send an airship to pick up your brother... The coach left. As the eldest son, if he couldn't come back in the first seventh period, what a regret it would be!"

"The airship can go straight in the air, and the speed is very fast and there is no need to worry about the obstruction of mountains, rivers and rivers... According to the speed, the airship can meet with your brother in Taiyuan Prefecture!"

"Seven days, you have to let your brother come back!"

Oh, this kindness is too great. The second young master knelt on the ground with a weak knee, "Woooooo... The head of state is kind, my Zeng family will never forget it!"

"Get up quickly, get up quickly... Your brother will suffer in the past few days when he is away! Come on, I'll introduce you to..."

The Zeng family and the officials who had paid their respects before were all very interested, especially the young man behind Xiao Letian. Who could stand before the Four Heavenly Kings?

Even the Far East King Long Ye saluted the same salute as the Four Heavenly Kings, but this person could take the lead half a step forward! Even Bao Jing was very curious.

"This is His Majesty, King Shangtai from the ancient Ryukyu Kingdom! He has just rushed back from Gansu and is preparing to watch His Majesty's wedding..."

"Ah!" Everyone exclaimed, and the Zeng family's elder immediately bowed down, "See Your Majesty the King! Thousand Years and Thousand Years!"

It’s really amazing. The ancient Ryukyu Kingdom is a small country on the East China Sea. The Central Plains actually look down on it. The total area of ​​those small islands is only about 5,000 square kilometers, just a county!

Such a small country could be embezzled by the Shimazu family in Japan for hundreds of years, and the Central Plains dynasty was too lazy to rescue it!

But what is amazing is that most people in this small country with weak strength look down on it, but in the hearts of traditional Chinese literati elites, there is a special plot!

That is the complex of the Han Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty! The Ming Dynasty built by the Han people, the overseas vassal states enthroned by Zhu Yuanzhang, the first founding king, has been extended from the early Ming Dynasty to today!

The cultural orthodoxy in the vague hearts of literati put a halo on the ancient Ryukyu Kingdom!

No matter how powerful the Zeng family is, it is just a Han minister in the Qing court, while King Shangtai was the orthodox king of the vassal state enthroned by the Ming Dynasty!

The identity is really bad. Today, Xiao Letian can invite the King of Ryukyu to pay his respects. This face is so great!

Especially Han scholars, they want to save face. The Zeng family's nephews were as excited as if they were injected with chicken blood!

Bao Jing and others were shocked and uneasy surged in their hearts, but they didn't dare to show it when facing Xiao Letian and the others.

The old farmer watched this scene from the side, and a warm current surged in his heart. It seemed that the person chosen by the Grand Marshal was indeed worth entrusting!

At this moment, King Shangtai also knew that his identity was sensitive. After accepting the Zeng family's kneeling, there were naturally gifts of condolences from the close ministers of the Ryukyu Kingdom around him. Then King Shangtai left early, which saved these people from embarrassment!

It was not until King Shangtai walked out of Zeng's mansion that Baofeng waited for Manren to greet Xiao Letian and bowed to him, "Hello, the head of state... I heard that the embassy was attacked before and did not go to visit him, which is really rude!"

"You are polite, Lord Baofeng! I wonder when Your Majesty will come?" Xiao Letian asked.

"Ah...this..." Bao Jingxin said why don't you open the pot? "Your Majesty is preparing for the wedding and has decided not to come!"

"The imperial edict of the empress dowager of the two palaces will be paid to the royal family with full authority..."

With a bang, the Zeng Mansion suddenly became an uproar, and people whispered and talked. This result was reasonable, but unexpected!

According to the law of the empire, the emperor has no obligation to mourn his ministers. Generally, he is rewarded with a better posthumous title, granting wealth, and other means to express his affection!

But rules are rules, but rules also score points! Jiang Dashen Zeng is a hardcore royalist faction. This is well-known to everyone in the court and the public. The Japanese attacked the emperor for six times, and they were resolved by Jiang Dashen!

Even when Xishan Camp was aggressive, General Zeng directly sent elite Hunan troops to the north from Baoding Prefecture, Zhili, and pressed on the front line of Zhuozhou, Liangxiang, and Shengsheng and Xishan Camp rose up!

With the body of the commander, he should have retired and returned home long ago, but for the sake of stability of the court and to protect the little emperor, he was dragging his body to struggle for his life!

Of course, these officials of the Qing Dynasty did not know the secret alliance between Zeng Guofan and Xiao Letian about the Han Yinlong. They just believed that Zeng Guofan was a hard-core royalist and a Confucian scholar under the traditional idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor!

For the sake of Emperor Zeng Guofan, he fought all his life until he was exhausted. But in the end, the little emperor didn't come to send him off for the last journey, and he refused to show his side?

This was indeed unexpected, even the Manchu ministers in the court were a little surprised!

Xiao Letian was stunned and he really didn't expect that such a result would be. In his mind, Zaichun was not such a heartless child!

Cai Bixia came over and whispered a few words in Xiao Letian's ear, telling him the news that came from the palace. Xiao Letian's face showed a disappointed expression!

"I understand... Lord Baojun, is Prince Gong coming? Will other princes come again? Is this Aixin Jueluo family in the capital only Prince Gong?"

"Where are other iron hat kings? No more come?"

Bao Jing's expression was very awkward, "This...this...this Prince Gong is the plenipotent representative of the court's condolences. I really can't say..."

The atmosphere was extremely awkward, and many Zeng family members showed angry expressions on their faces, thinking that the court's face was too ugly. Did they ignore the last bit of face when they were removed from the grinding and killing the donkey?

Do you even want to leave the minimum form? Even if you come to act!

"Prince Gong of the Qing Dynasty has arrived... The second young master knelt down to welcome him!" Just when he was embarrassed, the head of the court funeral committee, Gui Zi Liu, finally arrived late.
