604 Summer Night After the War
Seducing a child is really a crime, anyway, Xiao Letian feels that he has a fight with human traffickers now. A ten-year-old who can resist this temptation.
Skiing in the mountains, diving in the Pacific Ocean, walking on the beaches of Hawaii, hot springs in Hokkaido, Japan...... Go deep into the desert to discover the relics of civilization and exotic lands to taste unimaginable customs.
In Xiao Letian's mouth, the wonders of the earth unfolded in front of Emperor Tongzhi like a long scroll, and the little emperor was already addicted to just listening to these things.
"Aiqing, can you take me out to have a look? I want to leave this palace in my dreams, I want to see the world outside!"
Xiao Letian turned his head to look at the ministers behind him, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, this is not an easy thing, if you want to travel thousands of miles, I am afraid that you will encounter unprecedented resistance...... It's a long-term plan!"
Emperor Tongzhi suddenly reached out and grabbed Xiao Letian's hand, and said with sparkling eyes, "Can I believe you? In my mother's mouth, you are the most evil person in the world, but in the mouth of the queen mother, you are an example that can be learned, you sue me, are you a thief?"
Xiao Lotian didn't go to the two palaces first, and the queen mother's evaluation of herself was so different, Ci'an is really not simple, and he can have such a mind and live up to me to help him.
"Your Majesty, Lu Yao knows that Ma Ma has been popular for a long time, and many things are not done by saying but by doing. Let's analyze and analyze this time Weichen led troops into Beijing, I won't analyze what is wrong with the starting point of the Empress Dowager Xi, just analyze the process of this palace change, you can already find the clues......"
"Zeng Guofan, Zeng Dashuai has long asked the imperial court to allow local investment in the construction of telegraph lines, if the Qing Dynasty has such a telegraph line running through the north and south, will you be deceived by rumors?"
"Then the French said that if I am dead, I am dead? Do you really believe it? The news that I returned to Asia with strong troops after my great victory has already arrived in Guangzhou, and you still don't know anything about the city of Beijing, and you still stupidly transfer troops to Tanggu to beat me, how stupid is this?"
"And the soldiers of the Eight Banners, what age has it been, and they have suffered several losses on foreigners, why haven't you changed it? Are you addicted to big swords and spears, riding horses and bending bows? You are still ambushing me in the heavy rain, can you really think of it? What era is this, firearms have long been not afraid of water, have you watched too many dramas?"
"Are you really willing to come to Beijing City? Isn't it good for me to make a fortune in Tanggu and Ryukyu? Do I have to fight to the death with the imperial court? You didn't invite me in, and without these stupid people in the court, I could have led troops into Beijing on this day?"
Xiao Lotian patted Emperor Tongzhi on the shoulder, "Think about it, Your Majesty, only a fool thinks that being an emperor is a beautiful thing, you look at this square sky, look at the cage-like palace wall, anyway, Weichen will not live here, what is the difference between this and prison? I want to live in prison for a lifetime!"
After speaking, Xiao Letian stood up and patted his buttocks, "Weichen still has to live in Beijing City for a while, if you have any ideas, let Ermao pass on the message to me, and during this time, the defense of the Forbidden City will be handled by our new army...... Seize this opportunity!"
After the show of martial arts ended, Xiao Letian didn't bother to greet the queen mother, and left the Forbidden City with the soldiers, but the new army did not go far, they set up two camps around the Daqing Gate and Jingshan, and the north and south attacked and threatened the Forbidden City.
In the evening of the same day, the new army began to settle the people in Beijing, and notices were posted at the city gates and crossroads, and groups of new troops began to suppress the rioters, and all those who took advantage of the fire to loot were killed.
"Prime Minister Xiao of the East China Sea was ordered by the Queen Mother and the Emperor to enter Beijing to escort him, and the people of Beijing do not need to panic, the new army is here to calm the people...... Please restore order!"
The new army was divided into countless squads to pass through the Beijing division, and the soldiers of the Admiral of Jiumen and the officials of the Shuntian Mansion followed timidly behind, often the new army shot and killed several robbers of the thugs, and these people then followed to collect the corpses, and they were tired and did not dare to complain like the third grandson.
"Stop...... Don't stop and shoot? I rely on this guy not only to rob but also to kill, kill him......" The officer gave the order, and with a burst of gunfire, he nailed the thug on the opposite side to the wall.
For a whole night, the gunfire in Sijiu City did not stop, hundreds of people waited in horror for the tragedy of the rebels rushing to the door, and even many families were ready to commit suicide to observe the festival, as long as the new army rushed into the house, they would set fire to the house.
But throughout the night, not a single soldier entered the people's homes without being invited, and the mob on the contrary killed them all over the street.
The Forbidden City spent this sleepless night in the sound of gunfire, and Cixi and Tongzhi's mother and son hugged and cried together, this time Cixi really regretted it.
"Child, don't scare Eniang, that Xiao Letian is a dog thief who digs up the foundation of our Qing Dynasty, how can you listen to him......?
"The country can't be without a king for a day, don't scare Eniang! Let's not go to the realm of foreign devils, be obedient!"
Emperor Tongzhi seemed to have entered a rebellious period in advance, and he was unmoved by Eniang's words, "Eniang, I don't want to be a waste emperor in the hands of a woman in the deep palace, why don't you eat minced meat and the joke can't be put on me, I've made up my mind!"
With a snap, Cixi slapped him hard in the mouth, "Rebel, do you want Eniang to die? Why don't you appreciate it, who am I doing this for? It's not for you......"
Emperor Tongzhi fell to his knees, and said with tears in his eyes, "Eniang, the Qing Dynasty can't go on like this, Xiao Le can attack the Beijing Division with 2,000 people, and the foreign devils will be stronger in the future, what should we do?"
"You can stop me from leaving the palace, and I can go according to your arrangement, and you can even let the entire empire follow the traditional path. But can you stop others from making progress? Can you stop the West from becoming stronger day by day?"
"Eniang, we can't close our doors and live......"
There was a slap in the face, "You know a fart, as soon as the country is opened, the people's hearts will float, and when the time comes, we will be even more finished, we can't let the Han people grow insight, we can't let them see the sky outside! Only by closing their eyes and hearts, we can rule the Manchurians, you don't understand anything!"
Tongzhi covered his hot face, "I don't understand? You don't understand, the Han people will have an eye-opening day sooner or later, how long can you hold on? If we don't keep pace with the times, I'm afraid we won't even be able to keep the land outside the border at that time, right?"
"You rebel! Why do you believe Xiao Letian's nonsense, you kneel here, never get up!"
The conflict between mother and son in the Palace of Nourishing Heart showed no signs of stopping, and in the north of the Forbidden City, in the Qiwang Tower on the top of Jingshan Mountain, Ci'an finally got her wish, she did not return to live in the Forbidden City, she finally made Jingshan her own exclusive garden.
The two figures were entangled in the swaying of the lamps and candles, and the spring love rippled in the palace between the breathing, and there was no one waiting in the Qiwang Tower, and the guards outside the palace were the most loyal eunuchs and guards in Ci'an.
"Good man, God, you are really a good man......" Ci'an was already drunk, and she even felt that her body was about to crack.
In the midst of his breath was Fuqing's deep voice, "Niu Co Lu, my good baby, how have you survived all these years? It's really hard for you...... Ahh
Fuqing and Ci'an, these two men and women who had feelings because of the palace change, became intimate because of this war, until Xiao Lotian led the troops into the city, and all the Manchu nobles were in chaos, and they finally thundered and secretly rolled together on Jingshan.
To be honest, this kind of thing is not uncommon at all, people are shouting about etiquette, but in fact, those rules are made for the Han people, and they themselves are not interested in following those rules of etiquette.
Dirty Tang, stinky man, clear nose. This is the nickname given to himself by the Manchu people in Sijiu City, and there is no one who is not lustful among the Manchu emperors in the past dynasties, and it is also common for the Manchu nobles to cheat on each other.
After all, Ci'an is only a 29-year-old woman, it is the best moment of life, and Fuqing has lived alone for more than Chinese New Year's Eve, so it is strange that they get together without accidents.
After a while, the two hugged each other and talked on the pillow.
"In the evening, Ermao sent a letter over, saying that His Majesty wants to go on a study tour with Xiao Letian, and he wants to travel around the world? Tell me, what kind of medicine is your brother selling in the gourd, and what does he want to do?" asked Ci'an.
The third master pondered for a while and said, "My brother really can't see through it, he doesn't have a good impression of the imperial court, but I always feel that he is more hostile to that group of Confucian students. In the morning at the Daqing Gate, Xiao Letian tossed Weng Tongyi very much, he was not even afraid of being the enemy of Confucianism all over the world!"
"From this point of view, Xiao Letian has no ambition to win the world, how can he offend the emperor who is the official of the whole world? I have a feeling that he seems to be fighting against all kinds of wrongs!"
"The Qing Dynasty does not engage in foreign affairs, this is not right, he wants to fight. It is not right for Confucianism to resist Western learning, and he still has to fight. It is also wrong for the imperial court to close off the country and ignore the sea, and he has to fight......"
Hearing this, Ci'an sat up immediately, and the thin silk was slipped off his upper body, revealing a slippery and snow-white "I know, he wants to be a saint in the heavens and the earth?
"What a big ambition, what a big ambition...... Huh, why do you think of me like this?" At this time, Ci'an found that his upper body had been completely exposed to the air, and the swaying graceful figure of the red candle had already made the third master look stupid.
"You ......" Ci'an blushed, and Fuqing came to God again, he rushed up with a tiger pounce, and the hall was full of spring again.
On the summer night after the bloody battle, I don't know what kind of mood people are in, how many families are happy and how many are sad!
