There was a dead silence in the Qiwang Tower, and the two princes, Weng Tongyi, and the great eunuch An Dehai were all stunned, and they all looked at the Empress Dowager Ci'an in a stupid daze with their mouths open.

The conditions that Fuqing read just now, the people present can still understand it to some extent, Ci'an knows that the conservatives have fallen to Cixi, so in order to balance the current support of the reformers, it is also reasonable.

But in the end, no one understands this condition, leaving the Forbidden City? Do you want to live here in Jingshan? Although Jingshan Beihai is spacious and there are many palaces, it is more than enough to live a queen mother, but this is not in accordance with the rules...

Weng Tonggong was the first to oppose "etiquette cannot be abolished...... The Empress Dowager of the Two Palaces and Her Majesty are the symbols of the Qing Dynasty, and the Forbidden City is where the Empress Dowager should live......" Before the words were finished, Ci'an waved his hand at the ancestor in disgust.

The old ancestor didn't say a word, and the iron tower was blocked in front of Weng Tongyi, "Lord Weng, the slave is a rough person but also understands etiquette, the queen mother doesn't seem to have summoned you just now, right? You broke in by yourself, is this the way of the minister? The queen mother did not punish the crime but gave you a seat, then you can sit well......

"You ......" Weng Tongyi looked at the three-super old slave in front of him, knowing that this was a person who didn't speak Sven, he sat back fiercely and finally shut up.

The two princes watched the old man deflated, knowing that it would be difficult to convince the Queen Mother today, so the two of them collectively stood up and arched their hands, "Queen Mother, your conditions are really tricky for your younger brother, there are many things in this that are not something that a few of us can say...... You want to promote Fuqing, you want to release some criminals, we can discuss this, there should be no problem......"

"But pulling the telegraph line and building the railroad is too big, and without the unanimous communication of the court, I'm afraid it will be difficult to do it... As for letting Xiao Lotian go, it's not that it's not negotiable, but he, Xiao Letian, has to say something to the court, right? The court also wants to save face......

You have something to say, I have something to say, since Ci'an has opened the conditions, then pay back the money on the spot, sometimes things in the court are no different from doing business.

But today Ci'an is also evil, and he will not give in to life or death, "The mourning family is about to be forced to death by you, and you don't agree to this condition, so let the soldiers under the mountain continue to fight...... Chop off the head of the mourning family, and you won't have to discuss..."

Then there was a snap, and another bowl was smashed to the ground, and today Ci'an is completely a shrew.

The negotiation can't continue here, the queen mother is not serving tea to send guests, but throwing tea to send guests, this group of people can't wait anymore.

The two princes were bored, and got up awkwardly to salute "Queen Mother...... Sister-in-law, let's go back and discuss with the second sister-in-law, you can also dissipate your anger, think about it, the matter has come to this point, the account is useless, we still have to take a look forward..."

The old man is a polite Hanchen, he solemnly knelt in front of the Queen Mother of the East three kneels and nine knocks, "The Queen Mother, the ministers are loyal to the world, I have not chosen sides from beginning to end, after the conflict, I have asked to see the Queen Mother of the West four times have been blocked, the minister wrote a very fold, and they have also sunk into the sea......"

"Woooooooooo......oo The ministers and scholars really had more than enough strength in the face of such a big chaos, and they wanted to connect Qingliu to put pressure on the imperial court, and considering the problem of the royal face, not to mention that the ministers of the Mailer army did not want to make the situation too turbulent, so they did not choose to counter violence with violence......"

"Please forgive the Queen Mother, the minister has a hard time..."Weng Tongyi is a smart person, he can guess from Ci'an's tough attitude that the Empress Dowager still has a trick, Ci'an did not lose, at this time you have to show your loyalty, you have to leave a way back for yourself.

Ci'an looked at Weng Tongyi who was left alone in the hall, and also put away his temper just now, "Old man, you are also the emperor, and the mourning family will not blame you...... You didn't let the clear streams mix in this matter, that's right, you didn't have a merit instead... Get up......"

As soon as he heard this, the old man immediately felt relieved, it was really right to suppress Qingliu and not make trouble, what this Qing Dynasty wanted was face, no matter how much shit was hidden in the nest, the brocade article on the surface still had to be done.

"The Queen Mother Mingjian, the minister has only one idea, the foreigners are watching it in the capital, and the local governor is also looking at it, anyway, the Qing Dynasty can't mess up...... During this time, I wrote a lot of letters to my family's protégés and former officials, just to ask them to suppress the local literati and not make trouble, just to buy more time for the imperial court......"

"Hmm...... You have a heart, the mourning family knows it, you go down and rest......" Ci'an said lightly.

Weng Tongyi opened his mouth and was still a little unwilling, he still couldn't understand why the Queen Mother wanted to let Xiao Letian go? But he was not stupid, excessive persecution could only make the Queen Mother hate himself even more, and he could only turn around and retire when he thought of this.

When leaving Qiwanglou and walking down, Weng Tongyi saw that the military camp under the mountain continued to evacuate people, and there were many eunuchs carrying various daily necessities, even including rice, flour and vegetables, to the mountain.

Along the way, the eunuchs and soldiers all knew this Qingliu leader, and they all gave thousands of salutes, and Weng Tongyi also nodded with a smile, and it seemed that he did have the bearing of a literati and couldn't help but be unconvinced.

When Weng Tongyi walked out of Jingshan and sat in his sedan chair, he breathed a sigh of relief, "Let's go, go home first, this is called a mess......

When the sedan chair traveled west along the root of the imperial city, it stopped after walking for three or four minutes, and the voice of the butler came from outside the sedan chair, "Master, it seems that the prisoner is being escorted in front......

"What prisoners, escort the prisoners to the imperial city, take root......" When he opened the sedan curtain, he saw that a team of guards with knives was pushing a bound general towards the Zongren Mansion.

"Mailer, he's actually back......" Weng Tong stomped his foot, and the sedan chair stopped steadily on the ground.

"Brothers, hard work, hard work...... the old man smiled and greeted him, those inner guards all knew this Wuyingdian scholar, the dignified emperor, and quickly stopped to salute "Weng Zhongtang auspicious...... Lord Weng is auspicious..."

"Oops...... Excuse me... The brothers have worked hard, what happened to General Mailer?"

A few guards didn't know how to get back, they were going to escort Melle to the Zongren Mansion for detention, it was said that this had nothing to do with the civil officials, why would the old man ask this? But when the butler handed over a few silver horns, these guards had no scruples.

"Old Melle is also pitiful, he lost the battle and returned to Beijing to ask for guilt, but he didn't even see the face of the queen mother and the princess, so he was escorted to the internal affairs office by order of the palace...... You also understand that the Queen Mother is very angry during this time, and it is really cheap old Melle if she didn't cut off her head on the spot......"

The old man finally understood the cause and effect, and he whispered, "I have a bit of a friendship with General Mailer before, can you let us talk about it?" Don't worry, it won't be too long......

Several guards looked embarrassed all of a sudden, but when the butler passed a silver ticket, everyone laughed, "I can't afford to be rewarded by adults, since my lord wants to say a few words, we still have to give it to this convenience...... Please, please, please..."

Mailer never said a word from beginning to end, he looked at Weng Tonggong in surprise, in the past, a Manchurian and a Han, a civil official and a military general, there was no friendship at all, how could today, the old-fashioned old man would spend money on himself.

The old man leaned into Mellor's ear and said, "Don't doubt it, then Xiao Lotian and I have an enmity, you and I have a common enemy, so now you can only trust me, and only I can save you......"

As soon as these words were spoken, Mailer's tears fell, "Thank you, thank you, thank you, your lordship...... I, Mellor, lost the battle, but I went back to the capital with all the hard work, just to send a copy to the Empress Dowager, which is full of flaws in Xiao Letian's army......"

"But I was loyal, but then I hit a wall everywhere, taking the door of the prince's mansion, even the housekeeper bombarded me, and I took the door of Father-in-law An and Father-in-law Li, but no one received me at all...... I don't know who to look for when I worship with my money, woooooooo

"Zhongtang, you are a learned bachelor, you have come back hundreds of miles to comment on me, and you have brought the enemy's reality with you, what's wrong with this, even if you kill your head, you have to let me say something..."

The old man hurriedly comforted him, "Okay, I know General Mailer's intentions, I will definitely bring it to the emperor and the queen mother, now you give me that excerpt, I will help you find a way......"

Mailer now looks at Weng Tongxiao like a life-saving straw, he gave him the fold and even gave him all the silver tickets on his body, when the guards escorted him, he still stiffened his neck and shouted, "Zhongtang save me, I swear that as long as I save my life, I will go to the Ganshan camp to be the head soldier...... I will be faithful to my country...... Loyal ......"

Looking at Maile who was pushed away, Weng Tongyi smiled bitterly, "Just your wreck, and you will be loyal to the court? Don't harm the Qing Dynasty......

The old man in the sedan chair looked at the fold carefully, and in the end he was shocked and sweaty, and shouted in front of him regardless ......of the door, "Enter the palace immediately, hurry up, and go to see the queen mother and the emperor immediately."

Just when Weng Tong was running wildly in the sedan chair, the East Warm Pavilion of the Yangxin Palace was already crackling and smashing, blocking the face of Yi and Yixun, Cixi smashed all the porcelain decorations in the hall.

"Push me? How dare she force me...... You must know that she no longer has the secret decree of the emperor, who does she think she is?"

"Fuqing is also worthy of being a second-class high-ranking official? He Xiao Letian still has a reason to rebel against the imperial army? As for the bullshit telegraph lines and railway lines, they are all Western evils, let's not ...... in the Qing Dynasty."

"Yiyun, you go and torture those reformers for me, don't let go of all the thieves in the prison who want to be bailed out of Fuqing, and torture me one by one...... The mourners just want to know what they want to reform?"

"Is it to reform the life of the mourning family? Is it to mourn the head of the mourning family......

"What about Li Hongzhang? Where has he gone? The mourning family gave him the right to kill Xiao Letian's evil demon for me, and he couldn't keep any of them..."
