Rebirth of The Deer and the Cauldron, Wei Xiaobao Becomes a God

Wei Xiaobao shook his head and replied helplessly: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid that's not possible. According to the membership agreement of the Tiandi Federation, no member country may sell weapons, fertilizers, seeds and other important materials to countries outside the federation. Therefore, we cannot sell these seeds to you."

After hearing this, Kangxi frowned, showing a trace of dissatisfaction and anxiety on his face. He complained in a low voice: "Xiaobao, you are the commander-in-chief of the Tiandi Federation, sitting in the top chair, don't you even have this little power? As long as you ask, there should be no problem, right?"

Wei Xiaobao smiled and patiently explained: "Your Majesty, you are wrong. Our Federation is a contractual organization. The greatest power lies in the parliament, and the members of the parliament are elected by the people of the member states. Therefore, the people with the greatest power in our Tiandi Federation are the people. I am just an executor. I can't make the decision."

Kangxi looked confused and nodded, but he obviously didn't quite understand the meaning. He asked in confusion: "What kind of organization is your federation?"

Wei Xiaobao smiled and continued, "To put it simply, our Tiandi Federation is an alliance of various countries, and everyone abides by certain rules and treaties. The parliament is an institution that represents the interests of each member country, and they decide the policies and actions of the federation."

Kangxi was confused and couldn't help but sigh: "I see, it's really complicated! So, you can't just make the decision, right?"

Wei Xiaobao nodded and answered seriously: "Yes, Your Majesty. Although I am the commander-in-chief, I must also abide by the rules and regulations of the Federation. If I violate the regulations, I will not only be condemned by the parliament, but I may even lose my position."

Kangxi was silent for a moment, then asked: "Is there any other way for me to get those seeds?"

Wei Xiaobao thought about it and replied with a smile: "Of course there is a way! Your Majesty only needs to join our Tiandi Federation and become one of the member states, so that you can enjoy resource sharing and mutual assistance and cooperation within the federation. At that time, you can have as many seeds as you want!"

When Kangxi heard this, he was immediately furious. This was too much. Wasn't this putting a tight rein on the supreme imperial power? Wouldn't he be a puppet emperor?

Besides, if we elect members of parliament from among the common people, the parliament composed of the members will have the greatest power. Isn't this inciting the peasants to rebel?

So where did the divine right of the emperor go? Therefore, Kangxi could not accept joining the Heaven and Earth Alliance no matter what.

But now he had to ask Wei Xiaobao for help, he didn't want to say it in a definite way, so he found an excuse and said: "Alas! I don't have the final say in the court. The aristocratic families, scholars, political parties in the court, royal relatives... all of them can influence my decision. No, for the sake of being the son of Emperor Yan, I should talk to your parliament and sell some seeds to the Qing Dynasty!"

"Okay, for Xiao Xuanzi's sake, I'll give it a try!" Wei Xiaobao said.

"Thank you, Xiaobao, but there is something else I want to discuss with you." Kangxi said solemnly, then took out the memorial about negotiations with Westerners from his arms and handed it to Wei Xiaobao.

After Wei Xiaobao took it and looked at it, he frowned and said, "These Westerners are becoming more and more rampant."

Kangxi looked at Wei Xiaobao's expression and found that he was not as angry as he had imagined. He couldn't help feeling a little confused.

He went on to say: "Westerners have always coveted our Chinese territory. The Dutch colonized Dongzhou Island for decades, the Portuguese stayed in Macau, the British built castles in Hong Kong, the French were ready to move in Annam, and the Russians even occupied a large area of ​​the Greater Khingan Range, the ancestral home of the Qing Dynasty..."

Kangxi looked at Wei Xiaobao again and said, "The court has just put down the Three Feudatories Rebellion, and the national strength is empty. If the Western countries unite to invade our country at this time, although our Qing Dynasty has a strong army, its navy is very weak. Therefore, I want to sign a joint defense treaty with the Tiandi Federation to resist the invasion of Western countries. I wonder what the commander-in-chief thinks?"

"Joint defense?" Wei Xiaobao raised his lips slightly, revealing a playful smile, and then said: "Your Majesty, do you want to know my thoughts on the Westerners who are burning, killing and looting all over the world?"

"What does the commander-in-chief think?" At this time, Kangxi no longer regarded Wei Xiaobao as his former subordinate. He knew very well that the Tiandi Federation was the richest in the world and the Tiandi Army was extremely powerful. Unconsciously, he had put down his emperor's airs and seemed to have returned to the time when they first met, talking on an equal footing.

"What I'm really thinking now is that I'm hoping that the Western devils will come and cause trouble so that I can give them a reason to destroy my country." Wei Xiaobao said this and laughed.

Kangxi was shocked when he heard this. He felt that this idea was very dangerous. He frowned and said, "Xiaobao, I don't know if you really have the strength to sweep across the Western countries, but just like Genghis Khan's Yuan Mongolian army, they went on an expedition to Europe. Although they robbed a lot of gold and silver treasures, they were unable to occupy them for a long time. In the end, they were just a flash in the pan and returned empty-handed."

"Don't worry, I will destroy the feudal dynasties of these countries and support the local people to take power. With the support of the Heaven and Earth Federation, I will vigorously develop science and technology, promote the development of agriculture, industry and services, and let the people live a prosperous life!" Wei Xiaobao explained.

The more Kangxi listened, the more uncomfortable he felt, and sweat broke out. The true colors of this traitor were finally revealed. The feudal system was established when King Wu of Zhou overthrew slavery and divided the world among princes. This was known in history as the feudal system. Later dynasties that implemented the feudal system were called feudal dynasties. The Qing Dynasty was also a feudal dynasty.

Kangxi thought that Wei Xiaobao, the chief rebel leader favored by Gu Yanwu and other great scholars, was indeed no simple man. He did not rebel in the Qing Dynasty, but went to the West to rebel and rebel against the whole world.

But Kangxi changed his mind and thought, isn't it in the interests of the Qing Dynasty if you cause trouble for the Western countries?

Kangxi supported letting Wei Xiaobao go to the West to cause trouble, but it could not solve the immediate concern of Western invasion. Kangxi felt that he still had to promote the signing of a mutual defense treaty.

"Commander-in-chief, do you have any opinion on the mutual defense treaty?" Kangxi humbled himself and asked for advice.

"Joint defense is not impossible, but what benefits can you get if the Tiandi Army helps you block the enemies at sea?" Wei Xiaobao said.

"Xiaobao, when the Westerners come, they will not only invade China, but also the sphere of influence of the Heaven and Earth Federation. We are on joint defense. If the Westerners attack the Heaven and Earth Federation, I will send troops to support them. If the Westerners attack the Qing Dynasty, you will send troops to support them. It is mutually beneficial and both sides will benefit." Kangxi said.
