Expedition to Europe

Being a king is indeed a very comfortable thing if you don't consider all kinds of balancing and tightrope walking.

Of course, whether it is comfortable or not depends mainly on your own feelings. This sounds a bit idealistic, but it is actually the fact. People often need to be idealistic, so that they can keep their original intentions in the prosperous and busy world.

In the eyes of some people, they are happy if they have food, drink and fun every day, but some people are born to work hard, and they are happy if they let others have food, drink and fun.

What is the Chinese saying?

If you are poor, you can take care of yourself, and if you are rich, you can help the world.

Qin Zhiyuan is at the level of "rich", and he is sure to help the world.

It is not so easy to help the world. After all, people's energy is limited, especially under the premise that every decision will affect the fate of countless people. No matter what you do, you must be cautious, consider all aspects of the ideas, and take into account all aspects of the interests.

With such a heavy psychological burden, Qin Zhiyuan didn't have much fun when he accompanied Julie to visit the Forbidden City.

The Forbidden City, located at the center of the central axis of the capital, is the essence of ancient Chinese palace architecture.

The Forbidden City in Beijing is centered on the three main halls, covering an area of ​​720,000 square meters, with a construction area of ​​about 150,000 square meters. There are more than 70 palaces of various sizes and more than 9,000 houses. It is one of the largest and most well-preserved ancient wooden structures in the world.

Qin Zhiyuan was not very clear about these materials, but Qin Zhiyuan had visited the "Forbidden City" after all, so he was not very fresh about the Forbidden City.

Xu Shichang's wife did what she said, or Xu Shichang did what he said. I don't know what method she used, but she really let Qin Zhiyuan and Julie visit the Forbidden City they had long admired.

Qin Zhiyuan didn't know what Puyi was thinking, but if it were Qin Zhiyuan, Qin Zhiyuan probably wouldn't want people to visit his palace at will.

Well, Puyi, the "former Qing Dynasty emperor", probably couldn't make the decision himself.

Before leaving, Xu Shichang and his wife took the latest model of "Wuzui" sedan that Lan Fang had just given to the Beiyang government and rushed to meet Qin Zhiyuan.

As the president, Xu Shichang did not need to participate in the negotiations between Lan Fang and the Republic of China. Accompanying Qin Zhiyuan was Xu Shichang's biggest task.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Qin Zhiyuan and Xu Shichang's motorcade left Taiye Lake and headed for the Forbidden City.

Taiye Lake was not far from the Forbidden City, just a few steps away, but Xu Shichang did not dare to be careless. He obviously mobilized the military and police to block the road. Along the way, no one could be seen except Qin Zhiyuan and Xu Shichang's motorcade. The military and police on the roadside were stationed every three steps and every five steps, all of them were armed with live ammunition, and they looked like they were on high alert as if facing a great enemy.

Qin Zhiyuan's assassination had a precedent, and no one dared to be careless, even in the capital of the Republic of China, Xu Shichang did not dare to be careless. If there was any accident, it would be impossible to defend himself.

To be honest, the security work at this time was not very detailed. When they set off, Qin Zhiyuan and Xu Shichang took the same car, which was a taboo in security, but Qin Zhiyuan did not refuse. It was also good to have more opportunities to communicate with Xu Shichang, and Qin Zhiyuan did not object.

"It is really regrettable that Mr. Huang Jue has sent people to negotiate with the Southern Military Government. In any case, Mr. Huang Jue will be rescued. Please rest assured, Your Majesty." After a night, Xu Shichang finally got the news that Huang Fugui was detained.

"The jumping clown is not worth mentioning. Those people will eventually pay the price for their arrogance today." Qin Zhiyuan was not polite and said it very domineeringly.

It is necessary to be domineering when it is time to be domineering. The behavior of a country must match its national strength. Lan Fang is not qualified to be the king of the world now, but in Asia or East Asia, Lan Fang is qualified to be the king, so Qin Zhiyuan cannot be too low-key.

Hearing Qin Zhiyuan's words, Xu Shichang looked calm, but a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.

Qin Zhiyuan's attitude is the same as Lan Fang's. If Qin Zhiyuan feels bad about the Southern Military Government because of Huang Fugui's detention, it will be a good thing for the Beiyang Government.

If Xu Shichang can unify the Republic of China during his term, then Xu Shichang will be qualified to leave his name in history, which is what Xu Shichang is pursuing now.

At the level of Xu Shichang and Qin Zhiyuan, there are not many things in the world that can move them. Even if Xu Shichang, the president, is a little bit unworthy of his reputation, he is already the group of people standing at the top of the political food chain of the Republic of China. Money doesn't matter how much it is, it doesn't mean much. Power has reached the pinnacle of life. What Xu Shichang needs now is to leave his name in history, and to leave a good reputation as much as possible. This is Xu Shichang's current personal pursuit.

While talking, the motorcade has arrived at Tiananmen Square. It is not appropriate to take a car here, so Qin Zhiyuan and Xu Shichang got off the car and prepared to visit the Forbidden City on foot.

When he entered the city yesterday, Qin Zhiyuan could still see palace servants wearing Qing Dynasty costumes on the walls of the Forbidden City. Today, probably because they were notified, there was no palace servant wearing Qing Dynasty costumes. Instead, there were many Fengtian soldiers wearing four-color camouflage and gray-green uniforms.

Qin Zhiyuan wanted to visit the Forbidden City, and the Beiyang government must have done some preparatory work. Security was an important project, and the Lan Fang "Imperial First Brigade" was involved.

The Fengtian troops in front of him were obviously elite. Their uniforms were not much different from those of ordinary Fengtian troops, but their weapons were the German-made "Bockman MP18-20" submachine guns, also known as "hand-held flower machine guns."

It may not be German products. At that time, Germany did not allow the production of arms and there was a trade embargo. It is more likely that the Fengtian Army produced it itself.

As far as Qin Zhiyuan knows, the Fengtian Army still has a certain military production capacity and can produce firearms and small-caliber artillery. However, the scale of the arsenal is not large. Lan Fang has just started to develop after defeating the Japanese. Perhaps these weapons are made by the Fengtian Army itself.

This time Qin Zhiyuan visited the Republic of China. An important requirement put forward by the Republic of China is that Lan Fang should help the Republic of China establish a primary arms industry. This project is under discussion and it is estimated that there will be results soon. Lan Fang's military manufacturing industry is second to none in Asia. The factory itself has the pressure of machine replacement. It is not a problem to help the Republic of China build a factory.

The Fengtian Army equipped with submachine guns and the Lan Fang soldiers equipped with B-2 rifles stand together. It seems that the weapons of the Fengtian Army are more advanced, so those Fengtian Army soldiers also look particularly energetic.

These are all details. There is no need for Lan Fang soldiers to show the performance of the B-2 rifle. This kind of emotional dispute is not within the consideration of Lan Fang soldiers.

"Haha, when visiting the Forbidden City, you must start from the Huabiao in front of Tiananmen Gate. This Huabiao is also called 'Wangzhu', which means to advise the king not to indulge in debauchery and pleasure, but to be diligent in government and love the people..." From the moment he got off the car, Xu Shichang began to talk nonstop and took on the job of a tour guide.

According to the information Xu Shichang obtained, although Qin Zhiyuan was the King of Lan Fang, he had definitely never been to the Forbidden City, so he proposed to visit the Forbidden City. In this case, Qin Zhiyuan definitely needed a tour guide.

The original text can be read in Liu # 9 @Shu/Bar!

For this job, Xu Shichang was obliged to do it.

Of course, Xu Shichang used Chinese to explain to Qin Zhiyuan, and Qin Zhiyuan could understand, but Julie had some problems.

Julie has lived with Qin Zhiyuan for such a long time, and is also systematically learning Chinese. Of course, Chinese is profound, and Julie has to take care of Qin De, so Julie's Chinese level has always remained at the elementary level. Simple daily expressions are no problem, but as long as it is more complicated, such as "wangzhu", someone needs to translate it.

Fortunately, there is Misha. Misha has obviously studied Chinese systematically and worked hard. He can accurately translate such uncommon words as "wangzhu". At the same time, it seems that Misha has also done his homework. Not only did he translate the "Wangzhu" mentioned by Xu Shichang, but he also knew the "婷木" and "Wangjungui" that Xu Shichang did not say.

This is really rare. You know, Misha is actually much busier than Julie because he has to work with Qin Zhiyuan. In this comparison, Julie is really lazy.

Well, because of Misha's explanation, the old Renault couple and the Foch couple surrounded Misha, which made Anne very dissatisfied with Julie. She stared at Julie holding Qin De and gritted her teeth.

Facing her mother, Julie was thick-skinned enough to pretend that she saw nothing, and listened to Misha's explanation with a serious expression.

Qin Zhiyuan didn't pay much attention to the interaction of these women, and followed Xu Shichang to the Jinshui Bridge.

"These two stone lions also have allusions. Your Majesty, look here, there are two injuries here. According to legend, this was in the late Ming Dynasty, when Li Zicheng, the King of Rebellion, attacked the capital... I didn't expect that the man was the escaped Ming Dynasty general Li Guozhen." Xu Shichang has a deep foundation in Chinese studies. He not only wrote books and made statements, but also studied calligraphy. He was called the "President of Civil Affairs". Now he is also very competent as a commentator, and he can easily come up with all kinds of allusions.

As for the scars on the belly of the stone lion, Qin Zhiyuan didn't believe it. What "Li Zicheng attacked the capital" was all made up. The real reason was that when the Eight-Nation Alliance invaded China, the Eight-Nation Alliance bombarded Tiananmen Square, which left scars on the stone lions. Blaming this on Li Zicheng was just to make it sound better when it was said.

However, Qin Zhiyuan didn't need to expose such a thing. Li Zicheng was Li Zicheng. Anyway, he had been dead for hundreds of years and it was impossible for him to jump out of the grave to confront Xu Shichang. It was better to save some face for Xu Shichang.

After crossing the Jinshui Bridge, it was Tiananmen Square. Xu Shichang and Qin Zhiyuan were about to enter Tiananmen Square when a carriage suddenly came from a distance. After being stopped by the military and police, several men in long gowns, short jackets and long braids jumped out of the carriage and ran over here in a hurry.

"What's going on?" Xu Shichang's face turned black immediately, and he turned around and called his secretary to ask.

"This..." The secretary was also confused and didn't know what was going on.

Soon, the men ran to Xu Shichang and Qin Zhiyuan, and one of them stood in front of Tiananmen Square and stretched out his hand to block them.

"Prince Chun, what do you mean?" Xu Shichang's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

Prince Chun, this is Puyi's biological father.
