Tuqing: My first love was Cixi

Chapter 294 Peak showdown! Great victory!
According to the next plan, the British Empire organizes a mediation meeting.

It was composed of Britain, France, China, Austria and the Kingdom of Prussia.

Almost no one expects this mediation to yield any results, but it is an important political stage for Su Yi, representing China's official entry into the world's mainstream countries and its official participation in the world's mainstream order.

The British Empire informed Su Yi that relevant preparations were almost completed.

Just waiting for the official date to be set.

At that time, there will be a meeting of the Five Kings.

Because the participants were all members of the five countries who were kings or above, and even almost heads of state.

This also means that, at least on the surface, Su Yi is on an equal footing with the king of the powers.

Next, it’s time to wait for the notification.

During this period of time, Su Yi had been receiving guests of all levels.

Not only the dignitaries of the British Empire, but also dignitaries from other countries.

And, of course, there were countless invitations.

Many universities and organizations have invited him to give lectures.

But now that Su Yi had achieved his goal, he refused them all.

Two days later, the British royal family invited Su Yi to a concert.

As we all know, Prince Albert was very passionate about music, so after his death, the Queen built a large concert hall specifically for him, named the Albert Hall.

After the wonderful concert, the Prince even appeared in person to conduct an additional performance.

After the performance, Prince Albert said: "Prince Su Yi, can the people of London win your favor?"

Then, the audience burst into thunderous applause.

Everyone looked at Su Yi.

Su Yi slowly walked onto the stage.

At this moment, everyone could clearly see what he looked like today.

Many people even exclaimed.

Su Yi had always worn a straight dress in public events before, but this time she wore traditional Hanfu.

Plain color.

Simply tie it on the top of the head, not even using expensive hairpins.

This is the first time Su Yi appears in pure Chinese style.

Flowing robes, flowing hair.

Handsome face.

Obviously very stunning.

Of course, if he appeared like this at the beginning, the stunning effect would be reduced.

But it's different now. He has completed enough preparations.

Whether it is paving the way for personal image, wisdom, or reputation.

Nowadays, this pure Chinese style of dressing has a strong sense of contrast.

Produced an unparalleled stunning effect.

Seeing her husband like this, Princess Shouxi's eyes were blurred again.

Then, she began to imagine what the effect would be if Su Yi appeared wearing a royal robe of the Qing Dynasty.
To be honest, the Manchu dragon robes are not ugly, they are quite majestic.

Especially the military uniforms, which are much more majestic than the dragon robes of the Ming Dynasty.

but……

Appearing on this occasion, Princess Shouxi felt that Su Yi's flowing robe suited her very well.

It formed a strong contrast with the environment of the scene. For some special reason, perhaps it was in the center of the stage, perhaps it was the center of attention, or maybe Su Yi's personal image was too outstanding, so his appearance even suppressed the The whole audience.

There is even a feeling of one against a hundred.

Because Su Yi was wearing a flowing oriental plain robe, all the British celebrities on the court were wearing straight suits.

One against a hundred, and still win.

Although no one judges and no one gives the results.

But almost everyone thinks so.

After taking the stage.

Su Yi came to the huge piano.

Once again, there was a contrast, a handsome Chinese man sitting in front of a Western-style piano.

But somehow there is a sense of beauty.

It can only be said that aesthetics is a very magical knowledge.

Everyone pricked up their ears, waiting for Su Yi's performance.

Previously, Su Yi once sang an opera at a banquet in Shanghai, which he regarded as a shame.

But this time is different.

This time, Prince Albert performed the conducting performance for Su Yi first.

Therefore, Su Yi returned the courtesy and played, which was an elegant matter between the two heads of state.

What tracks to choose?
From a purely nationalist point of view, Su Yi should choose Guqin, Spring River, Flowers and Moonlight Night.

Even if you play the piano, you should play songs like "Jasmine".

but……

Not amazing enough.

This is someone else's home turf, especially when our country's culture is weak. We should join first and then conquer.

The footbath game does this very well.

Moreover, it is necessary for Su Yi to show a pro-British attitude now.

Therefore, Su Yi still chose a Western-style song. It was also a piece that did not exist in this world, but it was extremely classic, magnificent, and extremely beautiful. It was a completely palace-style work.

It’s still the song “Exodus” that was said badly.

Of course, because of the unjust wars that have occurred in the modern world, the story behind this song has become less great and has even been disliked by many people.

However, it sounds good enough, shocking enough, and stunning enough.

At this time, Su Yi completely adhered to the principle of borrowing.

And the effect...

Absolutely absolutely shocking of course.

This is a song that even if you listen to it for the first time, you will find it extremely amazing.

Just like those immortal poems in ancient China, even if you have never heard it before, when the famous lines from the ages appear in front of you, there are only two words in your mind: awesome.

Su Yi's playing skills are undoubtedly not very high.

That is, upper middle. But he was not a virtuoso, but a politician.

Moreover, this is an unprecedented piece of music, a palace-level work.

Therefore, it completely makes up for his shortcomings in his piano playing skills.

It brought unparalleled shock.

This... this is the regent of the ancient Qing Dynasty.

Everyone present was once again intoxicated.

sounds amazing.

So stunning.

So five minutes seemed so short.

During the performance, His Royal Highness the Prince did not leave the stage and remained standing on the side.

After finishing playing.

His Highness the Prince said: "Prince Regent, are you the illegitimate son of God? I am inevitably a little jealous."

Su Yi stood up and greeted the prince and all the audience.

The audience once again burst into thunderous applause.

Su Yi and the prince held each other's hands, paid their respects together, and called the curtain call.

The applause from the audience became even louder, and everyone stood up and applauded.

The clapping sound was unprecedentedly long.

........................

The next day, Su Yi once again made the front pages of many newspapers.

But this time, it was all praise.

There is nothing divisive or controversial.

All newspapers use adjectives such as stunning, dreamy, and epic.

Next, the royal family came to inform Su Yi that the meeting of the five kings would be held in half a month.

That night.

Su Yi was galloping around with his wife as usual.

At its peak.

Princess Shouxi suddenly shouted: "My Majesty, my Majesty."

After the two of them calmed down, she lay quietly in Su Yi's arms and said softly: "Husband, no matter what happens in the future, I will stand by your side without hesitation."

Su Yi said: "I know."

Princess Shouxi said: "When I was in China before, I didn't dare to think about this matter, but after I came out this time, I saw it clearly. If you are not in charge of this country in the future, it will not only be a tragedy for our family, but also for everyone." It’s a tragedy for the whole country.”

Su Yi said: "Are you going to rebel?"

Princess Shouxi turned over and said, "Yes, I want to rebel, I want to rebel."

………………

Next, Su Yi prepared to write down the meeting of the five kings.

This is a grander political event.

Su Yi will lead the country to officially enter the ranks of the world's mainstream countries.

Yes, it is a mainstream country.

rather than the ranks of great powers.

However, at this time, the French Emperor sent an envoy to inform the British Empire that he was willing to participate in the mediation, but the condition was that Su Yi was not allowed to participate.

As soon as the news came out.

Su Yi was furious.

Is this discrimination?
Of course, the greater possibility is that Su Yi angered France.

Because of the Yangtze River waterway rights, and because Su Yi judged in his political deduction that the following Franco-Prussian War was about to fail, and even lead to the collapse of the Second French Empire.

After learning the results of this deduction, the French Emperor was furious. He no longer ignored his reliance on the British Empire and directly overturned his previous decision.

Prince Albert immediately sent an envoy to Paris for negotiations, asking the French to fulfill their previous agreement.

Emperor of France, are you willing to give in half a step? France can send a prince to attend the meeting, but Su Yi can only attend the meeting as an observer, so it is no longer a meeting of five kings, but a meeting of four kings.

The British came to seek Su Yi's opinion, but of course he severely rejected it.

Faced with Su Yi's refusal, the Emperor acted even tougher.

He even publicly stated that it was ridiculous to allow Regent Su Yi to attend the meeting of the Five Kings. The Chinese regent had no ability or qualifications to mediate conflicts and conflicts in Europe.

Suddenly, there was an uproar once again.

Seeing that Su Yi's carefully prepared meeting of the Five Kings was about to officially go bankrupt.

Of course, it would be perfectly fine for Su Yi to return to China now.

This is still a very successful diplomacy.

But...not perfect.

France, on the other hand, was determined not to compromise.

Moreover, the French continued to openly express hostility to the Qing Dynasty, and even the Yellow Peril theory appeared again.

The French side not only wants to destroy the Meeting of Five Kings, but also wants to suppress Su Yi's image in Europe and China's image.

however……

At this moment, a completely unexpected olive branch appeared.

Bismarck, Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Prussia, formally invited Prince Albert of the British Empire, Prince Regent Su Yi of China, and the Head of State of the Austrian Empire to attend the Meeting of the Four Kings in public.

Then, the King of Prussia also formally extended an invitation to Prince Albert and Regent Suyi.

The two were invited to mediate the conflicts between the Kingdom of Prussia and the Austrian Empire.

Suddenly, the whole of Europe was boiling again.

But this time, the four countries never paid attention to the Second French Empire.

In the shortest possible time, a meeting of the Four Kings in London was publicly announced.

Just over half a month later, the much-anticipated meeting of the Four Kings was officially held.

Su Yi and Prince Albert formally mediated the conflict between the two countries.

Su Yi officially led the Eastern Kingdom to join the ranks of the world's mainstream countries.
