When the Austro-Hungarian delegation arrived in Beijing, the "Young Turkish Revolutionary Party" uprising broke out in the Ottoman Empire across the Eurasian continent. The "Young Turkish Revolutionary Party" was a political party composed of a group of young officers, government officials and intellectuals who demanded the end of Hamid's rule, and then controlled the regime in the Joint Progressive Committee established in Istanbul. Sudan announced the implementation of the 1876 constitution and the restoration of the parliamentary system, marking the entry of the Ottoman Empire into the second constitutional period.

The Imperial Privy Council held an emergency meeting overnight to discuss the situation in the Ottoman Empire. Religious leaders and political and economic officials who were not in the capital were also conveyed the minutes of the meeting...

There is no doubt that the Ottoman Empire will enter the ranks of modern states, but with it is regional turmoil and almost foreseeable disintegration. It has long been heard that some national leaders in the Balkans formed the Balkan alliance with the Serbs and Greeks as the main body to resist the control and oppression of the Ottoman Empire.

The first issue of the Privy Council meeting was whether to intervene in the situation in the Ottoman Empire and the reactions of European countries to this.

The turmoil between Russia and Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Ottoman Empire will naturally be happy to see it, and will take the opportunity to erode the influence of the Ottoman Turkish Empire in the Balkans. As for the battle between Russia and the Ottoman Empire in the Transcaucasus, the outcome can be predicted.

Britain's feelings for the Ottoman Empire should be the most complicated. The British did not want to see an unparalleled Arab Empire, but they did not want to see the Ottoman Empire weakened. In the past, they needed to use the Ottoman Empire to fight against Russia's westward advance. Now they are worried that the Turkish region will become a springboard for the Chinese and further affect the balance of power in Europe.

Li Hongzhang was the Prime Minister of the Empire and had a special important position in the Privy Council meeting, but he did not say much, because look at the members of the Privy Council. Including the most influential figures in the military, political and business circles, many of them were in high positions in the Pingyuan Army or the Regent regime, but he was still a down-and-out scholar who had just surrendered to the Pingyuan Army, and some bigwigs didn't buy his account very much.

Dealing with a group of old men with great military achievements can even be said to be a torture for the imperial prime minister.

In the end, Ye Zhao Qiangang was arbitrary and proposed that the imperial foreign affairs department strengthen contact with the Ottoman Joint Progress Committee and wait and see what happened. Although the result of the Privy Council meeting had no legal effect in the imperial constitution, it was just the suggestion of the Emperor's private advisory committee. However, it actually had the effect of the decision-making of the central government, which was no different from the resolution.

While discussing the Ottoman situation, the Privy Council also evaluated the situation in Afghanistan. The new Afghan regime has not explained the attack on Chinese businessmen so far. It also demanded that the empire release its arrested tribe leader. In Afghanistan, there have been endless attacks on Islamic Protestants, and even several tragic massacres have occurred. Harichi, Han Jinchun and other old guys who are over 60 or even seventy years old. The temper is still so hot, and they all advocate teaching Afghans a lesson.

Li Jianchen, Zhou Jingshan and others believed that Afghanistan had barren land, mountains were crisscrossing, and it was difficult to use troops. They needed to make a long-term plan. Li Hongzhang remained silent.

Ye Zhao waved his hand to stop their argument and said to Li Hongzhang: "You are in the Military Commission and the National Academy of State to discuss this matter." Naturally, the debate came to an abrupt end.

...

After lunch, Ye Zhao took Princess Jingping and Princess Taiping out of the palace to play. First, he went back to the original Lao Zheng Mansion to meet the grandparents of the two little princesses, and then went to the Zhuquehui Society Jingshi Branch in Minxiang, Nanjiao to see the situation of free acne for working-class children. Originally, Rong'er was planning to come to the Nanjiao Jingshi Branch in person today to reflect the royal care, but Ye Zhao saw that she was unwell, so he came on her behalf. Of course, Ye Zhao would not reveal his identity, but just took a look in casual clothes.

Moreover, Ye Zhao rarely gets close to his children. After preparing to marry Yong'an away, Ye Zhao deliberately spent more time with his children, but no matter what, it was difficult for the emperors to enjoy the joy of family life among the people. The children love him and respect him and fear him, but they don't know how to get close to his father and emperor.

Jingping is the daughter of Yizhi, nine years old this year, Taiping is the daughter of Golden Phoenix, eight years old this year, the two are about the same age and love to play together the most. However, they are with Ye Zhao, and the two little girls with jade are immediately turned into a dull gourd. Except for the two little heads gather together and whisper, they dare not say a word to Ye Zhao. Even if Ye Zhao heard that the two little girls wanted to take the rickshaw outside, they specially brought them to sit, but the two girls kept timidly not talking. Ye Zhao knew that this was also inseparable from his years of life ascetic monks, and he felt a little regretful.

The streets of Beijing are full of rickshaws. It is no exaggeration to say that nowadays, considering whether the imperial city is prosperous, you just need to look at the number of rickshaws on the street to know that the economy will have a lot of job opportunities. If you pull a cart, you will have money to make money.

Ye Zhao was rarely able to get back to the rickshaw. The driver was a young man with a slightly yellowed white towel hanging around his neck. He ran quickly and steadily, and it was a good handlebar.

The address of the Suzaku Society’s Beijing Branch is on the south side of Taoranting Park adjacent to the Sansheng Temple. This park is also the first national public garden in the capital that is open to the public, and is also repaired by the Suzaku Society.

The Vermilion Bird Society has long been renamed the Royal Charity Federation, but the Vermilion Bird logo has been retained and extended to become the symbol of the Oriental Medical Center. The Vermilion Bird Society has developed very rapidly in recent years. Now the branch has spread to the country and overseas colonies, and has gradually entered the Southeast countries, affecting the subjects of the Southeast countries in another way.

The chairman of the Beijing Branch of the Royal Charity Federation is Zai Lian, the young prince who was then, is now close to thirty years old. Although he has long been a relative, he has never had any children. Perhaps it was intentional.

Zai Lian was also a Duke of the State. He was named Qinxue Duke back then, but he never participated in political affairs and even changed to Jin's surname. No one of the charity association staff who worked with him knew about Mr. Jin's past. Then again, how many people in the country today remembered that there was such a young prince?

Ye Zhao called the guards to go to the branch for an undercover visit, and he led the two little princesses into the park. Although Taoranting Park was extremely shabby than the royal garden, the tourists and children playing in the park were much more interesting to the two little princesses compared themselves to the palace.

Like all parks in the empire, the parks now charge a fee to enter the park. The ticket to Taoranting Park is one yuan, and the price is not too high. But it is not low. Those who are willing to spend money to visit the park are citizens who pursue a new life.

Sitting on the bench on the lawn, seeing the two little girls sitting with her, Ye Zhao couldn't help laughing and said, "You guys go and have fun."

The two handsome little girls looked at each other, shook their heads, and said in unison with their tender child voice: "Son of your son will accompany your father." The little look was so painful.

Ye Zhao scratched his head and stood up and said, "I'll play with you." For a moment, he didn't know what to do. He reached out and called a casual guard, whispered a few words in his ear, and the guard took the order and left.

"Ah." Suddenly, a guard dressed in a servant blocked the two little princesses. The scream was made by a man in a sweatshirt coming from south to north. He led a girl who was also seven or eight years old in flowery clothes. A black shadow just flew out of the girl's hand and hit the guard's chest. A little stain was left. Looking closely, it turned out to be a hawthorn fruit of candied haws.

"Ah, I'm sorry for you. Sir, Miss..." The middle-aged man in a sweatshirt rushed over to apologize. He was stopped by a "servant" and could not be approached by Ye Zhaohe and the two princesses.

When I saw the offended gentleman and lady, there were many servants. The middle-aged man was extremely arrogant and panicked and said repeatedly: "I'm sorry, madam, my girl is unintentional. How much does this clothes cost? I will help you clean..." He reached out to help the guards wipe the stains on their bodies, but the guards pushed them away.

Ye Zhao smiled and said, "It's okay." After stretching out the folding fan, the guards hurriedly flashed aside.

"Thank you, sir, thank you." The middle-aged man even claimed thanks, secretly glad that he met a reasonable master. If he had to pay for his clothes himself, he would see that the servants were all dressed brightly, and a set of clothes would probably be able to pay half a month's salary.

"Father, what is this young lady holding in her hand?" Jing Ping asked in Ye Zhao's ear with her little head tilted. Jing Ping is the daughter of Iori and has a calm mother. She is just a little more courageous. After coming out for a long time, she finally dared to talk to Ye Zhao.

Ye Zhao looked carefully and found that the little girl was holding candied haws in her left hand and a hemp rope bag in her right hand. The bag contained the toy made of pig bones and a toy ball. However, the toys and balls were newly painted with red paint, which looked glamorous and beautiful.

Ye Zhao smiled and said, "Will you not go and ask?"

Jing Ping hesitated for a moment, then took Taiping's hand and ran to the little girl, and asked her, "Sister, what are you in your hand?"

But the little girl refused to admit her birth, picked up the hemp rope bag and said, "It's the 'bone' my father just made for me. You don't have it, your father can't do it, right?"

The middle-aged man glared and scolded, "Don't talk nonsense, don't understand politeness at all, call me lady." He hurriedly said to Ye Zhao, "Master, I'm sorry, a country kid, I've never seen the world, so I'll ask her to kowtow to the lady to apologize." His family usually has no contact with wealthy people, and the slums are all miserable, so his daughter doesn't understand the difference between the rich and the poor. Today, she finally gave birth to a rich and poor man and the poor. Today, she finally wanted to spend money to take her daughter to beg for a play in the park for nearly a year, but she didn't expect to offend the rich and powerful lady.

Ye Zhao waved his folding fan and said with a smile: "This is pretty good. I think your daughter is good." He said to the little girl: "Little sister, I am not as capable as your father. Why don't you play with your two young ladies?"

The little girl said quickly, "Okay!" She was not stingy and waved to Jingping and Taiping to go to the lawn with her. Seeing that her father nodded slightly, Jingping and Taiping followed her to the lawn next to her.

The man in cloth clothes was stunned, but he really didn't expect to meet such a master. In the minds of an ignorant child, his father was the most capable. What he was most grateful to was that this master protected his face in front of his daughter and did not smash his daughter's childish fairy tale world too early to smash, so that his daughter knew that the cruel reality was how small his father was.

"Master, you are such a good person." The man in cloth clothes said what he said in his heart.

Ye Zhao shook his head and said, "As a father, I really can't compare to you."

The man in cloth shirt didn't know what Ye Zhao was thinking. He thought that the gentle gentleman had encountered some problems and said with a smile: "How could it be? The master and the lady are both rich and powerful people. Even if they encounter difficult things, they will definitely turn bad luck into good luck."

Ye Zhao smiled and said nothing.

The man in cloth clothes said again: "Master, my surname is Wang. Everyone calls me Wang Laowu. I'm not to hide it from Master. I really can't afford to pay for your servant's clothes. I just pulled a cart in Nancheng and earned 180 yuan a month. Isn't this girl making a fuss to come to the park? I thought I'd bring her to see her, but who knows, you have a lot of pride. Otherwise, if you want to use a car, I'll take the mansion for half a month?"

Ye Zhao said: "No need, it's all a small matter."

After a while of silence, the two of them really had no common topics to talk about. The man in cloth shirt squatted aside and watched his daughter play with the two ladies. The two ladies were even more luxurious and cute than ever before. The man in cloth shirt was worried, for fear that his daughter would dirty the clothes of the two ladies again.

The three little girls chattered and played well, but the man in cloth clothes quickly got up and said goodbye to Ye Zhao, obviously worried that his daughter would cause trouble.

But in just a moment, the little girl fell in love with Jing Ping and Taiping. She felt that her new friends were not only beautiful, but also knew a lot of things. Both of them were generally nice and they could not understand the words she spoke politely, but the little bit she understood seemed to open a window for her, making her know how magical the world was.

For example, when it comes to her balls, she knows that it is because of air leakage. People say that it is filled with air and can also be filled with "light" air, which is a balloon that can fly. The hospital uses oxygen and can also cure diseases.

"Dad, I want to play with them for a while." The little girl begged her dad, but the man in cloth clothes said nothing. She was a person from two worlds, and the one who suffered losses and hurt in the end was his daughter.

Just at this time, the guards rushed back. He asked Ye Zhao to ask him to buy two small plastic cameras at the entrance of the park, which were actually small toys that could watch cartoons. Originally, Ye Zhao bought them for Jingping and Taiping to play with, but Jingping and Taiping both gave the new toys they got to the little girl. However, even if the two little princesses wanted to play with her for a long time, they would not express their emotions, nor would they beg their father, but they just politely bid farewell to their new friends.

"Jingping went out to study for girls' schools after summer this year. He will definitely make many new friends. Taiping, too, go to school with his sister a year in advance." On the way out of the park, Ye Zhao said to two little girls who were a little unhappy. Royal Princess Education was in the palace before the age of eight. After the age of eight, in addition to palace education, he would also study in folk girls' schools under a pseudonym. When he was thirteen, he would enter the royal girls' schools. Between the age of seven or eight and thirteen, it was the stage of initial formation of worldview and values. Ye Zhao believed that it was not a bad thing to have more contact with the people.

"Father, I just saw the noble lady." Taiping suddenly said to Ye Zhao in a low voice, looking at his toes, as if he had made a huge mistake.

The noble lady? Ye Zhaoqi said: "Which noble lady?" Taiping naturally called him according to the name of the palace maids, so the noble lady would be called the queen by the princess.
