My Italy

In Rome, the topic about Prime Minister Cairoli and former Prime Minister Depretis is the most eye-catching. Of course, this topic is still only circulated among officials, and ordinary people have not had the opportunity to learn about it, but I believe that it will be a while. In time, the conflict between the two will inevitably be known to everyone.

During this period, there were also people who worked hard to mediate it, but these people were basically from left-wing political parties, but even many of them had other ideas. In addition, there are more people watching the excitement and waiting to fish in troubled waters, and these people have different thoughts.

Anyway, as the conflict between the Prime Minister and the former Prime Minister became public, it was like a huge stone falling into the water, which immediately caused a storm, and everyone was waiting for the next plot.

Baron Filmic was walking briskly down the aisle of the Palazzo Quirinale, and everyone else nodded to him along the way.

"Hello, Your Excellency, Captain of the Guard."

"Hello……"

That's right, Filmicchi became the captain of the guard again. Although Queen Mother Margarita was resentful of his role in her husband's assassination, Carlo decided to continue to make Filmicchi his captain of the bodyguard. The past few months of getting along with each other made Carlo feel the ability of Felicity Mickey. Although he had failed to protect his father, he could not be entirely blamed for this.

All evidence afterwards pointed to the fact that this was an isolated incident that was determined to make big news. This situation is very bad, because it is unorganized and purely an individual behavior, with no way for people to get warning in advance. In addition, various accidents were caused at the time, so this tragedy occurred.

Of course, Gabrielsi, who dared to assassinate the king, has been executed on charges of assassinating the monarch and endangering the lives of others.

But this matter has passed. The hottest thing now is the dispute between the prime minister and the former prime minister, and Filimic brought the latest situation.

"The monarchy system in the Far East is very different from ours, and its bureaucracy is much more severe than ours. Although this ensured the status of institutional culture in the region in the previous era, it seriously affected external development . This is both its advantage and disadvantage. The monarch has too much power, which requires very high ability of the monarch. It is obvious that excellent monarchs cannot always exist, so the light of civilization has not been born in the Far East. In addition, they lack religious knowledge. It is also the biggest regret that an excellent religion like Catholicism has not taken root in this region.”

Carlo rubbed his temples with his hands while listening to Professor Esther's passionate narration on the podium. Yes, this description of China's history, which is full of errors, was made by Italy's best Far Eastern scholars.

Now Carlo regrets studying the history of the Far East. He originally thought he would look at the same problem from a different perspective, but even the best researcher of Far Eastern history in Italy came up with all kinds of ridiculous conclusions, and he still had to let him Putting on an expression of listening with great interest is really making it difficult for him to block someone.

"Professor, have you been to China?"

Carlo suddenly asked this question, which shocked Professor Esther who was telling the story.

"Sorry, Your Majesty, I have never been to China."

Sure enough.

But before Carlo could continue to ask, Professor Esther, who seemed to know what he was thinking, continued. "However, although I have never been to China, I have studied "The Complete History of the Chinese Empire" by Father Duhede, "General History of China" by Feng Bingzheng, and "History, Geography, Literature and Materials of the Great Empire of China" by Baudier. I have also contacted missionaries and diplomats in China and obtained first-hand information and documents from them.”

Well, in Professor Astor’s view, studying Chinese history only requires books and oral narrations from others.

In fact, in Europe, the study of China is still unpopular. If Carlo hadn't wanted to study the history of the Far East on a whim, then this foreign historian working at the University of Rome would not have been able to enter the Quirinale Palace.

In addition, compared with the beauty that comes from distance in the 18th and early 19th centuries, the current European concept of the Far East is an image of backwardness and barbarism. For Europeans, even America, which is in the same civilization, is a backward existence, let alone a different civilization. The Confucian culture of the Far East.

Although Professor Esther said so much, Carlo still felt that something needed to be said. "Have you ever wanted to go to China?"

"Of course I want to see it if I have the chance."

Faced with Carlo's inquiry, Professor Esther certainly had this idea. I am studying the history of the Far East myself, but it makes no sense that I have never been there.

But when you think about the intermediate costs, this is not friendly at all. Not to mention the time it takes to go to the Far East, the cost alone is a headache.

Professor Esther himself has calculated that the ship fare alone will cost at least 3,000 lire, not to mention other expenses. If the total does not add up to 7 or 8,000 lire, it is simply not enough. In addition, how should he calculate the cost of living in China and other expenses? It's what restricted his thinking.

"If the professor has this idea, then the royal family can support you with 15,000 liras of funds."

Carlo's words moved Professor Esther, but considering the current courses, he hesitated, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty, but in this case, regarding your courses..."

"It doesn't matter. There's nothing to worry about. The key is whether you are willing to accept the funding."

Professor Esther was really moved by Carlo's words. Thinking of his status as a king, it was easy to re-invite a teacher.

"Then thank you for your generosity. I am very happy to go to the Far East to see it with my own eyes."

Who could refuse such an opportunity, especially Professor Esther.

Carlo breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the excited Professor Esther. After sending the professor away, he had no intention of hiring another scholar who studied Far Eastern history. Getting along with Professor Esther made him understand that he and those scholars who studied Far Eastern history were not in the same pot.

If he hadn't considered his own image, it would be very bad to fire Professor Esther directly, so he wouldn't have spent 15,000 lire to send him away. Fortunately, this person knew what he was doing, which saved him a lot of trouble.

However, if he knew that Professor Esther advertised that he was Carlo's teacher everywhere, he would probably want to beat him.

Well, now he doesn't know.

At this moment, Feli Mickey, the captain of the guard, came over.

"Your Majesty, something is urgent."

"Is it urgent?"

"Yes."

After apologizing to Professor Esther, Carlo changed rooms.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

"The Prime Minister, His Excellency Cairoli, and the former Prime Minister, Mr. Despretis, have just reached an agreement that Mr. Despretis will no longer seek the position of Prime Minister."

"What……"
