Anti-Qing: Starting from the Jintian Uprising

Chapter 366 I, the prince of the Tang Dynasty, don’t learn foreign languages!
Guangzhou!

Tang Palace!
In the backyard, Luo Caiyu was playing with her son.

On the bed, the little guy was jumping around while holding a doll that was a circle bigger than him.

Let out a burst of cheerful laughter.

"Mom, mom, play!"

"Play with me!"

Li Zai, who was born in the first year of Zhaowu, is only three years old this year.

He was very energetic, jumping around and playing everywhere every day, making Luo Caiyu exhausted.

But if she were to leave the child to be taken care of by a maid or a wet nurse, Luo Caiyu would feel very worried.

You know, this is her first son.

It's so precious!
So, although looking after children is tiring, Luo Caiyu enjoys it.

Hearing her son calling her mother, Luo Caiyu hurriedly responded and started playing with Li Zai while holding the doll.

The little guy jumped and tossed around for half an hour before he got tired.

Luo Caiyu took a bowl of freshly cooked bird's nest porridge from the maid beside her and fed it to Li Zai bit by bit.

Seeing Li Zai eating the food she fed him bit by bit and smiling at her cutely after every bite, Luo Caiyu's eyes almost melted when she looked at Li Zai.

After a while, Li Zai, who was tired from playing and full, finally fell asleep.

Luo Caiyu ordered the maids to look after Li Zai while she went to the study.

Although Luo Caiyu, as the queen, does not have much real power, she still has to deal with many court affairs on a daily basis.

So, she also has a study.

Coming to the study, Luo Caiyu sat down.

However, he did not deal with the affairs of the inner court, but began to look through a document.

This document contains Li Zai's education and training plan.

It was formulated by Li Yi himself.

Luo Caiyu looked through it carefully.

In later generations, a three-year-old child is about the right time to go to kindergarten, so the Tang Dynasty's plan for training the prince must naturally be put on the agenda.

Raising a child should be started from an early age!
This plan describes in detail Li Yi's educational training plan for Li Zai.

The first step is preschool education and basic training, including literacy, arithmetic, etiquette, physical education and other aspects.

After completing basic education, there are related subjects such as Chinese, mathematics, science, and morality to learn.

When he grows up a little more, he will have to learn politics, domestic and foreign history, philosophy, mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, medicine, etc.

Here, politics teaches the art of ruling as an emperor, while history and philosophy are meant to help Li Zai have a normal world view, outlook on life, and values.

The purpose of teaching science subjects such as mathematics, physics, chemistry, and biology is not to train Li Zai to be a scientist, but to cultivate his scientific awareness.

Let Li Zai have a simple understanding of the power of industry and science so that he won't be fooled.

Medicine is for self-help.

There are many emperors in history who died in unclear circumstances.

For example, Emperor Wuzong Zhu Houzhao.

In September of the fifteenth year of the Zhengde reign, Emperor Zhengde fell into the water at Qingjiangpu during his southern tour and caught a cold.

His health then deteriorated, and in March of the 31th year of Zhengde, the young and strong Emperor Zhengde died in the Leopard House at the age of .

Zhu Houzhao, who was able to go to the battlefield and kill people with a knife, caught a cold after falling into the water. The cold lasted for half a year and eventually died.

It shows how useless those imperial doctors are, they can't even cure a cold.

Or, it could be that the imperial physician, or some people simply didn't want to treat him.

At this time, if Zhu Houzhao knew some medical skills, why would he be killed by the useless imperial physician?

In order to prevent such things from happening, Li Yi planned to have most members of the Tang Dynasty royal family learn some medical skills.

You don't have to be very proficient in it, but at least you have to understand the properties of the medicine so that you don't die unexplained after getting sick.

In addition, Li Yi also plans to let Li Zai learn swimming.

Just in case the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is also easily soluble in water!
As for speaking foreign languages?
It depends on your interest!

If Li Zai is interested in foreign languages ​​when he grows up, he can learn them.

If you're not interested, forget it.

Li Yi does not think that foreign languages ​​are a skill that must be mastered by rulers.

It’s not like there is no translation.

Instead of learning foreign languages, Li Zai might as well exercise more and live a few more years.

After reading the training and education plan formulated by Li Yi, Luo Caiyu fell into deep thought.

After a moment, she picked up a pen and started writing on the plan, ready to give her suggestions.

Although the training plan formulated by Li Yi is already very complete.

But the child is not Li Yi's alone, Luo Caiyu, as a mother, also cares about him very much.

Naturally, I will also give some suggestions.

Luo Caiyu wants to add a physical exercise section to Li Zai's training plan, so that Li Zai can strengthen his exercise.

Li Zai is now plump because he eats well.

If they are children, they are naturally chubby and cute.

But when you grow up, being chubby is not a good thing.

Therefore, Luo Caiyu prepared to make a weight loss plan for Li Zai in advance.

Just then, firecrackers and cheers were heard outside her study.

Just as Luo Caiyu was stunned, she saw Queen Mother Zhao walking in from outside, surrounded by several palace maids and eunuchs.

At this time, Zhao's face was full of smiles, and you could tell at a glance that she was in a very good mood.

Luo Caiyu quickly put down the pen in her hand and stood up to greet him.

"I pay my respects to the Queen Mother."

"Mother, why do you have time to come here today?"

Zhao heard this, but the smile on her face remained.

"Haha, mother came to you today, Caiyu, to tell you the good news."

Upon hearing this, Luo Caiyu showed an interested expression and asked.

"I wonder where the Queen Mother's joy comes from?"

Zhao continued with a smile. "This is news from the front line."

"Yier led his army to defeat the main force of the Qing demons on the bank of the Yellow River, captured the chief of the Qing demons alive, and won a great victory."

"Now, our Tang army has launched a northern expedition and captured the capital, and Yi'er has also proclaimed himself emperor in the capital. Do you think this is good news?"

Hearing this, Luo Caiyu couldn't help but smile.

"I congratulate you on behalf of the Tang Dynasty and your Majesty. Your Majesty, what your mother said is correct. This is indeed good news."

"Now that the capital has been conquered, it won't be long before Your Majesty returns in triumph!"

Now that the Tang Dynasty has conquered the capital, the overall situation in the world will be settled, and their wealth and glory will naturally be secured. It won't take long for her to become the queen.

Luo Caiyu was naturally happy.

Zhao heard this and shook her head.

"We've already taken the capital, what's the point of this triumphant return?"

"Yier has now proclaimed himself emperor in the capital and sent back an order via telegram, asking Guangzhou to prepare to move the capital."

"Now that the news has spread, all departments in the court are making preparations."

"We in the inner court also need to prepare for migration in advance!"

When Luo Caiyu heard this, the smile on her face became even more obvious.

"What the Queen Mother said is very true. I will order people to prepare it now."

Zhao nodded and said.

"So good."

"I'll have to trouble you, Caiyu, for this matter."

Upon hearing this, Luo Caiyu just smiled and responded.

"These are what I should do."

Zhao nodded and said.

"Let's go. I'm going to see my grandson. I haven't seen Xiao Ping'an for a few days."

Luo Caiyu said with a smile.

"Mother, follow me. Ping An has just fallen asleep..."

……

The news that the Tang Dynasty won a great victory in the Northern Expedition and captured the capital spread throughout Guangzhou.

People on the streets couldn't help but talk about it.

Most people seemed very excited.

The Tang Dynasty defeated the Qing Dynasty and seized the world, which was indeed very good news for the people under its rule.

At the very least, they no longer have to worry about Guangzhou being hit by war.

The only thing that makes everyone feel a little depressed is that the Tang Dynasty may have to move its capital to Beijing next.

By then, Guangzhou will no longer be under the emperor's rule.

The people couldn't help feeling a little worried.

But overall, I am still happy.

Guo Songtao lowered the curtain and sat upright in the carriage.

Listening to the noise of the people outside, a smile appeared on his face involuntarily.

"The capital has been recaptured and the unification of the country is imminent. This is cause for celebration! This is cause for celebration!"

Guo Songtao clapped his hands and said in a very good mood.

The secretary beside him heard this and replied with a smile.

"Your Excellency is right."

"If my prediction is correct, the various government offices will soon move to the capital."

Guo Songtao nodded and said.

"That's true."

"I have received news that the Ministry of the Interior has issued an order for all departments in the court to prepare for the migration."

"According to estimates, the first batch of personnel will leave next month, and our Department of Foreign Affairs will be on the list of the first batch of migrants."

Unlike the secretary who was just guessing, Guo Songtao had actually received the news and knew about the court's migration plan.

Upon hearing this, the secretary spoke hurriedly.

"Congratulations, sir, for being able to be part of the first group to leave for the capital. You are indeed highly valued by the king."

Upon hearing this, Guo Songtao corrected himself.

"Alas, after the king conquered the capital, he was proclaimed emperor, but the coronation ceremony has not yet been held. From now on, we should call him the emperor or your majesty."

"Your Majesty, you can't yell anymore!"

"Next time, be careful not to call them by the wrong names, and don't let yourself get criticized because of this kind of address."

Upon hearing this, the secretary immediately clasped his fists.

"Don't worry, sir. I understand."

Afterwards, Guo Songtao began to give instructions for the work.

"By the way, when we arrive at the government office later, you will draft four diplomatic notes of accountability for me and send them to the ambassadors of Britain, France, the Netherlands, and Spain in China."

"Then, arrange meetings with the envoys of various countries on my behalf."

Upon hearing this, the secretary nodded immediately to show that he understood.

……

British Legation.

The British Minister to China, Bruce, was dressed and ready to go out.

Walked out of the embassy and got on a horse-drawn carriage.

Then, under the protection of several guards, he headed towards the office of the Tang Dynasty's Diplomatic Department.

In his hand, he was holding a diplomatic note from the Tang Dynasty.

The Tang Dynasty sent a diplomatic note to Britain to express its strong protest against Britain, France, the Netherlands and Spain for instigating Vietnam to be hostile to the Tang Dynasty.

And demand an explanation from Britain!
Otherwise, the Tang Dynasty will resort to force!

Looking at the tough wording in this diplomatic note, Bruce's face became quite solemn.

This time he went to the Tang Dynasty's Diplomatic Department to have a face-to-face meeting with Guo Songtao, Director of the Tang Dynasty's Diplomatic Department, to resolve the matter.
