Selling the country is not distinguished from before and after, but selling the country must be distinguished from the level of status. In most cases, for ordinary people, selling or not selling the country is not a question they can consider. After all, for ordinary people, they do not even have the qualifications to sell the country.

Since you don’t even have this qualification, then you can only consider whether to sell it or not. At most, you can just be a submissive person.

This principle is applicable everywhere, even in Great Britain. For ordinary people in England, they are definitely not allowed to sell their country.

But for the British powerful people, as long as they are willing, they will definitely be a country-selling door. Of course, for these traitors in England, no, it should be said that the Ming Dynasty was definitely welcomed by both hands for these heroes of England who knew the current affairs.

There is no doubt that among the many "traitors of England", the Earl of Shaftesbury was undoubtedly the highest-ranking. He was the leader of the Whig Party. In the war with King Charles I of England, he was a royalist, and later supported the parliamentary party and became a member of Cromwell's parliament. Later, he was expelled from the parliament by Cromwell, and then transformed into a royalist party. In 1660, he supported the restoration of the royal government of Charles II.

In the past twenty years, the most interesting and ironic thing in this magnificent political drama in England is these MPs. They were the first to promote democracy, oppose the king, and provoke civil war; they could not defeat the royal party, and colluded with the Scottish invasion; after Cromwell led his army to defeat the king, they thought they could eat alone, and completely offended the army, and joined forces with the royal party to oppose Cromwell; after Cromwell won the Second Civil War, they still stubbornly believed that they could eat alone, and took the fruits of victory for themselves, and were finally cleansed; after Pride's purge, many people changed their positions and joined the incomplete parliament and became the senior of the Republic of England and the Republic of England

Officials; after Cromwell's death, facing John Lambert's dictatorship, they immediately transformed into a "Royal Party". After the so-called "Restoration of the Royal Government", they changed their positions and sat in the court for the trial of the regicides; in order to show their loyalty to the new king, they strongly advocated the execution of former comrades, and even insulted the bodies of their former leaders; and after all the manifestations of harming the country and the people, they painted themselves and dressed up as defenders of the "People Pig". It is amazing to adjust their positions so flexibly and freely. Everything these people do is their own interests. For the sake of interests, even their own fathers can betray them, but wearing the skin of "People Pig", everything becomes legal and natural.

In fact, this is exactly the most hypocritical and shameful thing about politicians. These politicians who have experienced vicissitudes but have stood firm will keenly make choices that are more beneficial to them when facing a crisis, just like the Earl of Shaftesbury.

Five days ago, he came here and discussed with the Chinese about supporting the king's restoration. As the highest-ranking "traitor", he naturally became the guest of honor for Zhu Youbin and Zhang Mingzhen. As the "first person to sell the country", although he has not received any benefits for himself, one thing is certain that as the "first person to sell the country", he had successfully seized the identity of "representative" before the king arrived.

"Your Majesty, I have been waiting for your arrival!"

The Earl of Shaftesbury excitedly welcomed the king's arrival. After saluting respectfully, he pointed to the official wearing the Ming robe in front of him and introduced.

"Your Majesty, this is Qian Xi, a diary of the Ming Dynasty Honglu Temple."

"Hello, King Charlie."

Qian Xi held his fists and bowed. As a sixth-rank guest, he would perform a ritual even when facing a foreign king. After all, he represented the Heavenly Kingdom. The person in front of him was just a barbarian little king.

In history, Qian Xi participated in anti-Qing activities in the late Ming Dynasty, but eventually died of overwork. His younger brother Qian Mo passed the imperial examination at the age of 15. After his family was destroyed in the late Ming Dynasty, Qian Mo wandered everywhere without knowing where to end. But now, he is an official in the Honglu Temple and traveled to Europe with the delegation. His younger brother served as a professor in the Imperial College in Nanjing.

The changes in history have changed the fate of many people.

It not only changed the Qian brothers, but also changed Charles II. In history, he should have had to restore the country two years later and returned to England. It was from that time on that time that England became more and more awesome day by day.

After being simple and kind, Charles II and his party were welcomed into a merchant's mansion near the dock. Qian Xi then said goodbye temporarily. As soon as he left, Charles II asked anxiously.

"Earl Shaftesbury, when will we meet His Highness, the Prince of China?"

Although Zhu Youbin is just a prince, in European legends, he is a "prince of China". Obviously, they have not yet figured out the title of the Ming Dynasty royal family.

"His Majesty……"

The Earl of Shaftesbury laughed.

"I think His Highness the Prince will soon call us, but I think, maybe everyone should take a shower first, otherwise, it may cause the prince's unhappiness..."

Before this, the Earl of Shaftesbury noticed that when Qian Xi met the king, the strange king with a slightly frown was smelly!

"What? Take a bath?"

Charlie II said in shock.

"Yes, Your Majesty, if you want to meet the prince of China, you must take a bath. After all, they pay great attention to hygiene. Yes, it is hygiene..."

The Earl of Shaftesbury specifically emphasized "hygiene", and even its pronunciation was similar to that of Chinese.

Unlike many European TV series in the 21st century, where princes are handsome and princesses are beautiful and charming. The so-called princes and nobles are all wearing clean and straight dresses. The royal families and nobles of this era are very unscrupulous. Some of them have never taken a bath in their lives, and even if they take a bath, they only take a bath once every ten days or even months, so that their bodies are filled with lice and parasites. Just like Louis XIV, the king of France, across the strait, only took a bath twice in his life, his body emits an unpleasant and disgusting smell. Even before others have arrived, his smell has been transmitted into other people's noses.

There is no public sewage system in the so-called palaces. Whenever the royal family members living in the palace and ministers and servants need to solve their physiological needs, they hide in a corner of the palace, such as behind the door and the fireplace to solve their physiological needs. Those bright and beautiful palaces always exude a foul smell accompanied by perfume. It is said that the palace is actually a public toilet!

Even this manor was cleaned up hundreds of kilograms of feces after being requisitioned. As for the forts occupied by the Ming army, it cleaned up more than a dozen tons of feces and garbage. Its dirtiness was beyond the imagination of the Ming people. As for the English people, they also had a foul smell, whether they were ordinary people or nobles, their bodies were filled with a foul smell like cured meat.

Faced with these Englishmen who may have never taken a bath in their entire lives and were covered with lice and fleas, even Zhu Youbin, who is well-educated, had to order that they must take a bath first and take a good bath before meeting with the Englishmen.

After all, if you don't take a bath, these Englishmen are simply chemical weapons for action.

"My God, I want to take a shower..."

With fear of taking a bath, Charles II and his ministers had to jump into the wooden barrel and take a bath.

But soon, they were no longer so repulsive in the soaking of hot water, and even when they were enjoying the servant bathing service, they felt comfortable narrowing their eyes into a slit.

"Maybe, I can take a few more baths in the future..."

Charles II, whose eyes narrowed into slits, murmured to himself in his heart. He noticed that the servants who served him to take a bath were all English. After asking, he realized that they had learned "crafts" such as bathing and massage under the Chinese professor.

"It's true that I'm a Chinese, it's really very comfortable!"
