All the forces in the Beijing division have moved, the princes are in a meeting, Qingliu is also talking secretly, the queen mother of the two palaces is busy, and the informants of the local governor in the Beijing division have also begun to secretly connect, and even the foreigners have moved, and the American minister Hua Ruohan secretly came to Xiao Letian's house in Flower Hutong under the protection of a new army.

said that Xiao Letian's house in Flower Hutong actually did not belong to him at all, but to Fuqing, which was one of the outer residences of Fukangan, an important minister during the Qianlong period, and then slowly passed into the hands of Fuqing, a side lineage.

When Cixi launched the palace mutiny, he ordered the Internal Affairs Office to raid the mansion, and at that time, Cixi's cousin was ready to tear her face with her cousin and cousin, and everyone knew the truth that the royal family had no family affection.

When Xiao Letian led his troops into Beijing, Cixi's previous decree was nullified, the prisoners in the prison were released immediately, all the confiscated family property was returned immediately, and as for those who were tortured to death, the imperial court also promised to give a certain amount of compensation.

And the house in Flower Hutong was the first to be returned, and when Xiao Letian returned here on horseback with his own soldiers, Fuhui had already waited at the door with the returning old slave.

When Xiao Letian's horse team appeared at the mouth of the alley, all the remaining house slaves knelt down and cried, "My aunt has returned home...... Say hello to my aunt!"

Any family will cherish the hard-won stable days after experiencing such a big change as the raiding of the family, and they know that without the anti-heaven skills of the aunt, this family will really fail.

Fu Hui looked at the galloping war horse in the distance, the scene in front of her suddenly overlapped with the picture when she first saw Xiao Lotian two years ago, two years ago, under the root of the year, several tall horses brought Xiao Lotian to her side, and Fu Hui's heart never left him from that day.

The north wind, the snow, the warm flower hall, the steaming hot pot, listening to the men pointing out the country after drinking, and watching the handsome Xiao Lotian bragging, every scene at that time, Fuhui will never forget.

Today, Xiao Lotian is back, the same high-headed horse, the same direction, the same bad smile on the horseback, tears wet Fuhui's eyes.

Xiao Lotian rushed to the door of the house, watched the weeping Fuhui turn over and dismount, and hugged her in his arms without saying a word, "It's hard for you, you've really suffered......"

All the strength of a woman will melt away in the arms of her lover, and Fuhui, who enjoys a sense of security, cried bitterly, and all the grievances of the past year were vented at this moment.

"Why don't you take me out with you...... Why did you leave me home alone...... Woowoo woo ......"

Xiao Letian stroked Fuhui's hair, counting the white hair that suddenly appeared on it, and a sour feeling surged up in his heart. The door of the house is now ajar, the seal of the internal affairs office has not been torn clean, it is still fluttering in the wind, and the family members kneeling on the ground are crying silently.

"Okay, I'm back, my family will be safe...... Come on, go to the Internal Affairs Office and give me all the things that belong to us to get them back, and I'll demolish one of their houses if there's one less!"

Without waiting for the new army to make a move, a group of eunuchs came from the depths of the alley, and when they saw Xiao Letian, they knelt down, "The prime minister is angry, the prime minister is angry, we have sent everything back, and we promise that there will be a lot of ......"

With a wave of his hand, the little eunuchs carried the boxes and looked at them in front of the housekeeper, and the old housekeeper was energetic and counted with the eunuchs of the Internal Affairs Office, this time he was ready to pit them hard.

"No, no, how can our cloisonné vase be so small? at least a generation old, can't you drop the bag?"

"The Dongzhu that our aunt gave to Miss is three big boxes, why are there only two boxes left......?

Xiao Letian and Fuhui watched the old housekeeper blackmail the Internal Affairs Office, and then looked at the embarrassed expressions of the eunuchs, and they all laughed, "Let's go, let's go to the back house and see if my favorite rosewood ivory bed is still there......"

Fuhui's ears were itchy by Xiao Letian, how could she not know what her man was thinking, and she could only secretly pinch the soft flesh on her waist with a red face.

Fortunately, the large pieces of furniture in their own house have been sealed in place, and the Internal Affairs Office has only moved away small valuables and floating wealth, so that the next person can live in it after a little tidying up, and I don't know if Xiao Lotian and Fuhui have ever made love, anyway, the maid who finally fetched water for his wife came out of the bedroom with a red face.

Xiao Letian, who was refreshed, played a nondescript set of Tai Chi in the garden, and moved his muscles, "Come on, take my post to Dongjiaomin Lane to invite the American Minister Hua Ruohan, and say that I will invite him to dinner...... Damn, the stove at home is out, you go to Quanjude, and spend money to book a table for me to come over!"

"Hey, the old slave will do it!" the old housekeeper hurriedly sent someone to inform Quan Jude. At this time, Quanjude had just started a business, and Yang Quanren, a native of Hebei, took more than a dozen guys to open the first roast duck in Beijing.

The old housekeeper couldn't figure it out, how did the old man know that such a little-known small shop was full of big dealers in Beijing, didn't this make this small shop famous?

In the future, this small shop will be able to play the favorite signboard of Prime Minister Xiao in the East China Sea, and the first hot meal that the prime minister brought his troops into Beijing to eat was run by Quanjude, and they must not brag about this cow for a lifetime!

Come on, the master's affairs can't be managed, and whatever the master says is what it is. When Boss Yang heard that Prime Minister Xiao of the East China Sea was going to eat his roast duck for the first meal when he came home, he jumped up excitedly.

"Guys, with a full set of guys, it's time to make a name for yourself!"

When Hua Ruohan's carriage came to the garden alley at night, the back kitchen was already full of people, and the food was fragrant.

"Your Excellency, it's always good that you haven't seen you for more than a year?" Xiao Lotian personally greeted him outside the gate.

"Xiao Letian, oh no, I should call you Prime Minister Xiao Cheng, I really can't imagine that you have only appeared in people's public opinion for two years, and you can actually do so many unimaginable big things...... You've really scared me, and even my heart as an old politician can't bear it!"

"Hahaha, there will be more surprises for you in the future, please come in and I will prepare a feast for you!"

Fried gizzard liver, shredded duck cooked vegetables, duck fat custard, mustard duck paws, brine duck gizzards, brine duck liver...... Finally, a golden fragrant roast duck is sliced into 108 slices of dough in front of the guests, this is the rule, this is called a particular, it must be sliced into 108 slices, more or less is not at all. In the end, the duck rack makes a portion of salt and pepper and a stew, and the serious whole duck feast is all worked.

"I have to admit that you Chinese are really good at eating, I really can't imagine how I should live after returning to China, without so much food, my old age is destined to be very sad!"

"Either you settle here, or you also invest in Chinese restaurants in the United States, don't worry, let's make a joint venture, we guarantee that we can open all over the United States, and you will definitely become a rich man!"

"Hahaha, you can think about it, you can really think about it!" Jonas turned his head to look at Boss Yang who was kneeling on the ground, "I have nothing to reward you, we can take a photo with you later, you can tell the guests when you hang it in the store, the roast duck you make is even loved by foreigners and prime ministers!"

Boss Yang was speechless with excitement, he kept kowtowing, and withdrew with his knees a little bit, he knew that from today on, Quanjude would be prosperous.

After digressing, the two began to communicate secretly about the current situation, and after sharing the plans of both parties, Hua Ruohan said in surprise.

"You want to reply to the Eight Kings Council? You want to form a noble council! And you want to take Emperor Tongzhi to study? Do you want to be the emperor's teacher?"

"Why did you choose this way? Do you really not have the dream of winning the championship? Do you know that you Chinese do not have the dream of becoming emperors yourself?"

Listening to Hua Ruohan's temptation, Xiao Letian pouted and smiled, "Come on, don't test me, I'm going to really rebel, and the United States will be the first to refuse, I'm right, right?"

"You don't understand international law, since the Qing Dynasty has signed an agreement with Britain, France, the United States, and Russia, then you have recognized the legitimacy of the Qing Dynasty's rule, and with the Qing government, you can continue to do big business!

"You wish that the Qing Dynasty would last forever, because you know that with the help of the Qing government, your economic colonization plan can work......

Hua Ruohan smiled bitterly, "I can't deceive you by anything, but you have wronged us in the United States this time, the biggest interests in China are Britain, France and Russia, and we do not have many interests in the United States, so we still hope to change, do we have a chance to change!"

"Old treacherous and cunning...... Xiao Letian smiled and poured him a glass of wine, "Don't look at my fierceness, in fact, my strength is still very weak, and it is difficult for me to deal with any of the Hunan army and the Huai army with all their strength against me...... Besides, I've always thought that being an emperor is a chore, and that only a fool loves that throne!"

"What I want is an invisible influence on the world, being able to advance and retreat, being able to show and hide, is the king!" Xiao Letian dragged his chin and said thoughtfully, "I don't want to be a saint, I just want to change some of the unreasonableness of this world through my efforts, and to be able to change and make myself live comfortably, this is my ultimate goal in life......"

"What kind of emperor and general, it's all false, and the wind is always blown away by the rain and wind!"

The secret meeting between Xiao Lotian and Hu Ruohan lasted for four hours, and by the time they took pictures with Boss Yang, it was already more than three o'clock in the morning.

Warrhohan promised to unite a number of Western countries with his own influence, and then collectively put pressure on the Qing court to push Xiao Letian's plan. He was well aware of the influence of the Western powers on the Qing government, and as long as there were more united countries, the Qing court would have to bow its head.

And Xiao Lotian promised to let the American chaebol inject capital into Lotte Bank, but the holding cannot exceed 30%, which is already the limit that Xiao Lotian can give, Hua Ruohan is a person who knows the goods, and he knows that Xiao Lotte's future goal is to make Lotte Bank become the central bank of China's paper money.

This is a sure-fire deal, and the eyes of Western consortia have long been red.
