568 Benevolence
Jingshan, inside the Qiwang Tower, I don't know when the wind rose, and the crackling sound of the two unrelated windows being slammed woke up those dull faces.
"Xiao Letian didn't kill the official, and he didn't expel him, are you coaxing me?" Ci'an said coldly.
At this time, Qing Sanye seemed to relax all of a sudden, and the stone he was worried about finally landed safely.
"Yes, Queen Mother... Xiao Lotian did not kill officials, did not rebel, he still kept Tanggu under the control of our Qing officials, the imperial court can still collect taxes, government decrees can still be conveyed, the only thing that has changed is the garrison ......"
"Xiao Letian has grown from a small station, a military food city...... All the way to the front line of Yingchengzi, all the new army took over the local defense......"
"Isn't this a rebellion, or what?" said the old ancestor, furious.
"The prime minister made it very clear that the purpose of taking over the local defense is to protect the people...... "Meyler is in Tanggu, the arson army plundered, thousands of people died tragically under Meyler's butcher's knife, and tens of thousands of displaced refugees became refugees...... What the prime minister did was nothing more than protecting the people......"
"Fart..."The old ancestor had his hair all over the place, "He is the prime minister of that family? How could the Qing Dynasty have made him an official position? Our people of the Qing Dynasty have our own army of the Great Qing Dynasty to protect ......"
"But the army of the Qing Dynasty is killing the people of the Qing Dynasty... This is an ironclad fact...... Ancestor, you are also a figure who travels from south to north, do you dare to touch your chest and swear that the soldiers of the Qing Dynasty have not slaughtered the people of the Qing Dynasty?"
"You swear... You swear to the ancestors of the past who you have learned...... I think you dare to say a word that has no conscience..."
"You ......" the old ancestor was suddenly dumbfounded, Ermao's sharp accusation made him unable to answer at all, he worked for the royal family all his life, no matter how dangerous the place was, he had been to the place where he was in the south and the north, and he had seen it with his own eyes to kill good people and even blatantly slaughter the people.
With Mellor's temperament, there is a ninety percent chance that the massacre of the people will be true.
"Enough... Keep your mouths shut...... Mourning has a headache..."Ci'an rubbed his temples in pain.
At this time, a faint voice sounded behind everyone, and it turned out that Fuhui woke up, "Queen Mother, slave maid is willing to swear by the glory of your ancestors, my man...... There will be no rebellion..."
Fu Hui struggled to fight, and said categorically, "My man is a rare strange man in the world, what he resists is only the injustice of this world, just the ugliness of the world, and he himself has no ambition to be an emperor at all..."
"For our leaky court, my man is a fierce medicine rather than a poison, accept my man, the court will definitely vomit and diarrhea, dizziness, and will definitely die uncomfortably...... However, it will not die..."
"If we continue to follow the old path, and even learn from my cousin, our Queen Mother of the West...... It may be that the Manchurians can still have a stable tea and rice to eat for decades, but that tea and rice are mixed with poison, and we will die sooner or later..."
"Alarmist, really alarmist... You Fuhui and Fuqing are also big names in the Shangsanqi, why did you let Xiao Letian brainwash and wash it like this?"
The hesitation in Ci'an's eyes became even stronger: "Fierce medicine, poison, do you mean Xiao Letian, or is it better for us to be full of people?"
At this time, Ermao suddenly spoke, "It's urgent, there is one thing that the slave must tell the truth to the Queen Mother...... The time of our Qing Dynasty is really running out, if we don't change again, I'm afraid that the Central Plains will be lost by then, and even the Guanwai Imperial Court may not be able to keep it......"
Ermao flipped through the newspaper on the table and found a small tofu cube with a statement from British Prime Minister Earl Derby welcoming Xiao Lotian to Europe.
"Queen Mother, don't underestimate this statement, the story in it is very deep... Why did the British throw an olive branch to Xiao Letian? It wasn't because we retreated again and again in Xinjiang and let Agubai succeed again and again, and who was behind Agubai? Isn't it the Russians..."
"And Britain and Russia are originally feuding, in the face of the aggressiveness of the Russians, they have more than enough strength, after all, Britain has a strong navy and a weak army... So they're going to support other people to fight the Russians......"
"We can't do it in the Qing Dynasty, the British don't count on us at all, and the other candidates are not suitable, and in the end, the British have no choice but to support Aguba, and they want to dig Aguba back from the Russians with a large amount of funds and foreign guns......"
Ermao pointed to the name of the Earl of Derby and said, "Now that Xiao Lotian has entered Europe strongly, the British have become a pawn in East Asia, an important pawn that can be supported against the Russians... Hehe, poor princes of the imperial court, has anyone analyzed this?"
"In addition, there is a top-secret piece of information that I want to reveal to the Queen Mother...... The tsar in Moscow has already begun preparations for the Trans-Siberian Railway......"
"From Moscow, all the way east, through mountains, dense forests and eternal tundra, all the way to Vladivostok, which my godfather once said could be completed in 20 years......"
"By then...... The Russian army can reach Heilongjiang in seven days at the latest, and if millions of murderous Russian soldiers swallow up the white mountains and black waters, who will the imperial court rely on to resist ......it?
There was a crisp snap, and the bowl in Ci'an's hand shattered, and her face had become pale and pale, "How can this be? Everything you said is fake, all are fake......
Ermao calmly faced the Empress Dowager Dong, "It's a pity, what I said is all true...... When the Trans-Siberian Railway was built to Vladivostok, do you think the Russians would not go to Guanwai to build it? I think they will build the railway to Shengjing and to Jinzhou...... Under the persecution of a million troops, the imperial court had no strength to resist at all, and there was no ...... at all."
"Enough...... Ermao, you traitor, look at how angry the Queen Mother has become? Don't shut up yet......" Zhou Daoying really couldn't listen to it.
Just when Zhou Daoying was about to use his identity as the chief eunuch to press Ermao, suddenly there was a rush of footsteps from outside the hall, and a eunuch loyal to Ermao hurriedly ran over.
"Chief Qiqi, another secret letter has been delivered outside...... The defenders asked for two thousand taels, and the minions had already given ......"
"What's the matter... Don't mention money to me......" Ermao snatched the silk secret letter from the eunuch's hand, opened it, glanced at it with his eyes, and then immediately handed it to the Queen Mother.
"The latest flying pigeon biography, please make a quick decision after the Queen Mother..."
Ci'an took the silk scroll, and after reading it at a glance and ten lines, the whole person's body trembled like chaff, "Evil obstacles, evil obstacles... Cixi, you are going to dig up the roots of our people..."The third master looked at it coldly, and couldn't help but gasp.
"Li Hongzhang has transferred troops into Beijing? Damn, the Han soldiers are coming to kill our Manchurians? This is Cixi's last move? Stupid......" Qing Sanye snapped and almost smashed the table.
And Fu Hui said faintly: "Yehnara... Sure enough, it was the woman of Yehnara's family......"
A sentence hit Ci'an's brain like lightning, and the terrifying legend of Aixinjueluo's family came to mind again, which was the last straw that broke the camel's back, and Ci'an finally made up his mind.
"Fuqing, what about the third question I asked just now? You don't seem to have given me an answer......
Ci'an's three questions, whether Mailer will be defeated, now there is an answer, whether Xiao Lotian will be opposed, many people have given guarantees, and the last question is how much Qing Sanye has learned Xiao Letian's ability.
Hearing this, everyone turned their eyes to Fuqing, the meaning of this sentence is too obvious, Ci'an is going to reuse the third master, and a new political star in Sijiu City is about to be born.
"Fuqing, you have to think about it, as long as you have the ability, the mourning family can hand over the prime minister's affairs to you, a high-ranking official can't run away, and it's not impossible to even be crowned the king and worship the prime minister......"
"Hehe... Don't think that I don't know those friends around you, as long as you have the ability, I can forgive their sins, and I can officially recognize your status as a reformer..."
With a hiss, the third master gasped, he subconsciously looked at the old ancestor, but found that he had already been looking at him with his eyes.
Muge, Elsu, Chenghuai, Shishan, Shishui...... There are also Luo Hao and Wen Xiu, familiar names and familiar faces swirling back and forth in the third master's mind.
This is his own lineage, this is a small group that he has gathered with the help of Xiao Letian's knowledge and money, and they call themselves reformers in the Qing Dynasty.
That's right, it's the reformers who are now locked up in the whole city, but what Prince Alcohol is grasping is the periphery of the periphery, at best, it's just a bunch of alley strings.
The third master's brain was already sweating, he really didn't know if his talent could take on the heavy responsibility, but he understood that naturally there was no way out, and this battle had already branded himself on the power of the Empress Dowager, and there was no possibility of change.
"Queen Mother, Xiao Letian's Western learning skills are unfathomable, and the minister can learn a little bit and dare not speculate, but there is a little bit that the minister dares to guarantee...... Among the Manchus of the Qing Dynasty, there are really few who can surpass me in Western studies..."
"Hmm... You are telling the truth, and you will be relieved to have this truth...... Come on, bring pen and ink..."
Ci'an brushed a handwritten decree written on the white silk, and finally picked up the imperial reward seal and said coldly: "You Cixi can mobilize Li Hongzhang into Beijing, and the mourning family can invite the new army to go west, I want to see who is the best of the two Han strong armies..."
"Ermao, this is the will of the mourning family, quickly send it to Xiao Letian's hands, and let him lead the troops into King Jingqin... Hehe, the imperial court was able to hire the British to fight the long hair, and now it can also hire the new Ryukyu army to fight the rebellion......"
"Passing on the will of the mourning family, Fucha family Fuqing, diligent in royal affairs, loyal to the country, proficient in foreign affairs, specially appointed as the prime minister of the second product Yamen minister...... Fuqing, you are now the second member of the Prime Minister's Yamen, except for Prince Gong, it is you, don't let the mourning family down..."
