The old Taishan of the Lin Governor's Mansion is the Beijing official of Zhishi, the mansion is located in the inner city, Liu Yanzhi went to the Li Mansion alone, he entered the inner city from the Zhengyang Gate, and entered the city to the east is the famous Dongjiaomin Lane Embassy District, at this time this place has become a barricade, no less than tens of thousands of Qing troops and Boxers will surround this place, attack day and night.

Liu Yanzhi dressed as a boxer, all the way unimpeded, went straight to the Li Mansion in Xicheng, Li Shilang's mansion is in an alley near the Taifu Temple, the door is very large, the vermilion lacquer gate is open, there are two stools at the door, there are three people sitting, an old and a young two boxers with red cloth heads, and a family member wearing a melon skin hat.

Could it be that the Li Mansion was also occupied by the boxers, Liu Yanzhi was puzzled, and decided to come to salute first and then soldiers, and only after asking did he know that these people were invited by the Li Mansion, and the old lady Li understood the righteousness, spread the altar at home to practice boxing, and provided for a hundred and ten Boxers, eating and sleeping here every day, in other words, the Li Mansion is now the base of the Boxers.

When the subordinates of the Li Mansion heard that Liu Yanzhi was sent by the old man of Jiangdong to deliver the letter, they asked him where the letter was, and Liu Yanzhi said that he must hand it over to your master in person, so he asked him to wait at the door and quickly report to the master.

Idle is also idle, Liu Yanzhi and an old man and a young boxer chattered, it turned out that they were the men and horses who attacked the Xishiku Catholic Church, and they had been fighting for a day today, and they had just withdrawn to rest.

The old guy is called Wang San, the younger one is called Liuzi, both of them are boxers from Baoding Mansion in Zhili, followed the senior brother to Beijing City to see the world, and when he first arrived, he was sent to attack the North Hall (commonly known as the Xishiku Church), and watched hundreds of invulnerable brothers die on the way to the charge.

The sixth son asked: "Uncle Wang, why doesn't the talisman water given by the senior brother work, I see that Brother Zhuzi drank two large sea bowls, and still let the gun kill him." ”

Wang San said: "You don't understand this, it's not that the senior brother's talisman doesn't work, it's the pillar that he slept with a woman the night before, so he broke the exercises, you know no, our Taoism is good, you just can't touch women, and if you touch it, it will fail, Xiao Liuzi, you can't touch women's side in the future." ”

But the sixth son said: "But the night before, Brother Zhuzi and I ate and slept together, and I didn't see him touch a woman." ”

Wang San's face was a little unbearable, but this question was not difficult for him, he said: "The pillar doesn't touch the woman, why, there are spies and informants, foreigners know our life, the old devil bishop in the north hall, the spell is also amazing, he has a handful of dust in his hand, which is made of the hair under the woman, and the wall of the church is full of women's households, and the brothers of our Boxer Rebellion." ”

The sixth son asked, "What is the household?" ”

Wang San coughed dryly: "It's just forced." ”

Liuzi blushed, and no longer broke the casserole to ask the end.

Liu Yanzhi interjected on the side: "I heard that the foreigners' Eight-Nation Alliance has landed at Dagukou and is heading for Beijing, what countermeasures do our Boxers have?" ”

Wang San said disdainfully: "Senior brother knows about this, yesterday Duan Wang Ye invited the Yellow Lotus Holy Mother Grandma to do it, and the Holy Mother and Grandmother received incense, and drove the clouds to Dagukou overnight, and only came back this morning, pressed the cloud head in the Duanwang Mansion, dropped a dead sack, and drove away without saying anything." ”

The sixth son asked, "What's in the sack?" It can't be the head of a foreign general, right? ”

Wang San said: "It is someone else's trick to take people's heads thousands of miles away, and Grandma doesn't like to kill, this sack is filled with bolts, and there are hundreds of bolts unscrewed from foreigner gunboats." ”

Liuzi said happily: "Without bolts, the foreigners' gunboats will not be able to drive, so dare to be kind." “

Wang San said: "Isn't it, Our Lady and Grandma made a move, how can there be a way for foreigners to live, besides, there are hundreds of thousands of our Boxers in Tianjin, not to mention the Eight-Nation Alliance, it is the Eighty-Nation Alliance, and he is also called to have no return." ”

The sixth son was convinced that he couldn't admire the Virgin Grandma.

The next person came to report, saying that the master was invited, Liu Yanzhi followed the housekeeper into the door, Li Mansion is the door of the mansion, look at the pattern of at least five courtyards, divided into inner and outer houses, the outer courtyard is all occupied by the Boxers, those who hold stone locks, play official knives, practice with bare hands, and the house is as lively as a circus.

Liu Yanzhi took out a silver dollar and handed it to his subordinates, and asked him about the details of the Li Mansion, and the subordinates immediately smiled, knowing everything, saying that now the family is the master in charge, and the old lady used to be a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, and now he is returning to his hometown, not asking about the world, the lord is the prime minister's Yamen's Wupin Zhangjing, and he can be busy every day, although the affairs of foreigners.

"Thank you." Liu Yanzhi has a bottom in his heart.

In the living room of the main house of the inner house, a middle-aged man in a robe and a horse coat met Liu Yanzhi, who was the eldest son of Old Lady Li and Lin Huaiyuan's eldest brother, Li Chongzheng.

The guest sat down, the maid served tea, Liu Yan was thirsty, picked up the teacup and took a sip, Li Chongzheng was stunned, and said in his heart How can this person be so arrogant, the tea for hospitality is used to drink, it is just a kind of etiquette, when the host picks up the tea bowl, it means that the guest is going to be sent off.

Liu Yanzhi didn't know this, and he didn't drink the quality of the tea, he was purely to quench his thirst, after the cow drank a cup of tea, he put the envelope with both hands, Li Chongzheng took the letter, said that he was tired, put the envelope aside, and also picked up the teacup, lifted the bowl, and gently blew the heat.

"Sending off guests~~~," the butler said in a long voice.

Liu Yanzhi didn't plan to leave, and said, "Master Li, read the letter first, I have something to say after reading it." ”

Li Chongzheng couldn't help but raise his eyes and take a closer look at the person who came, this person had a red cloth wrapped in head, short fast boots, and a standard Boxer dress, but he was born with a good appearance, not like those crooked countrymen with crooked melons and cracked dates, but like the son of a man with a head and face in the capital.

He nodded, took out his brother-in-law's handwritten letter from the envelope, and read it at a glance, and couldn't help but be surprised.

The person in front of him is actually the person next to the emperor, no wonder he is so imposing.

Liu Yan went straight to the point and said: "Why did Lord Li lure wolves into the house and practice boxing in his mansion, but I don't know that these boxers are all gangsters and villains in the countryside."

Li Chongzheng smiled helplessly: "Even the palace has been inhabited by the Tuanmin, and the move of the cold house, like the red cloth on Liu Yishi's head, is for self-protection." ”

Liu Yanzhi smiled dumbly, this Master Li is a smart person who knows how to be flexible, and it seems that dealing with it will save a lot of trouble.

"I heard that tens of thousands of Boxers attacked Beitang, but they didn't defeat it?" Liu Yan said straight.

"Not only tens of thousands, but also 50,000 when there are more." Li Chong was worried, "Not only the Boxers, but also the soldiers of the Tiger God Battalion and the Shenji Battalion, Dong Fuxiang's Gan Army, Duan Wang personally commanded, and the guns and artillery are complete, but I still can't step into the North Hall half a step." ”

Liu Yan said straightly: "Presumably, there must be a large number of foreign defenders in the church. ”

Li Chongzheng shook his head: "It's just dozens of guns." ”

Dozens of guns can resist the tens of thousands of Boxers who are known as invulnerable, and the myth of the so-called Boxers can be seen, and Li Chongzheng's political attitude can also be seen from this answer.

"Lord Li, since ancient times, the two countries have not been at war and have not beheaded the envoys, our Qing Dynasty sent troops to surround the embassy area, which is unjustifiable in the world, I came from Tianjin, and I saw the coalition forces of various countries marching towards Beijing, according to this rhythm, where do you think the Qing Dynasty will go?"

Li Chongzheng asked rhetorically: "What about Liu Yishi's opinion?" ”

Liu Yanzhi sneered: "In my opinion, this Great Qing Kingdom is going to be finished." ”

Li Chongzheng was silent, and his brother-in-law's letter vaguely mentioned the mysterious identity of the guest, and the other party could say such rebellious words, and he could never echo it.

"Unless ......," Liu Yanzhi added.

"Unless what?" Li Chongzheng immediately picked it up, and at the same time motioned to the housekeeper to retreat with the maid with his eyes, he knew that the main topic was coming.

"Unless the Empress Dowager returns to the emperor." Liu Yan said in a low voice.

"This is a capital crime of rebellion and extermination of the Nine Clans." Li Chongzheng was a little nervous.

"The Empress Dowager Xi's surname is Yehenala, this world is the love of the Xinjue Luo family, Lafayette is old, and the emperor is in his prime...... Spring and Autumn Period" Liu Yanzhi's words stirred Li Chongzheng's heart that was about to move, he was almost fifty years old and still a five-grade Zhangjing, there was no way to be promoted, and all his ambitions were blown away with the rain and wind.

Liu Yanzhi continued: "I came all the way from Jiangdong, the smoke is everywhere, the people are not happy, this capital is even more smoky, the officials are not like the officials, the people are not like the people, and the Queen Mother of the West is the enemy of the world powers. ”

Li Chongzheng was speechless, there were 10,000 horses galloping in his heart, and he couldn't calm down at all, he was just a civil official, and he usually pointed out the ambition and pride of the country, but when he met the real person, he was cowardly.

"Yes, I am from the emperor's side, and there are two ways in front of Lord Li, one is to be like Yuan Shikai who trained in the small station, and the starry night informs the little brother in exchange for a good head in exchange for a bright future, and the other is to wish me a hand, and I will not have the title of a university scholar in the future." Liu Yanzhi noticed the other party's hesitation and deliberately stabbed him with words.

"Xiaguan is just a small five-grade Zhangjing of the Prime Minister's Yamen, what can he do." Li Chongzheng finally came back to his senses, he couldn't do the things of informing, but he couldn't do the things of rebellion either.

"You can help me enter Dongjiaomin Lane." Liu Yan said straightly, "I'll take care of the rest." ”

Li Chongzheng said: "Don't you know, Dongjiaomin Lane has been surrounded by Ronglu's Wuwei Chinese army, and foreigners have also piled up barricades, set up foreign guns, and shoot at the slightest disturbance, how can they get in." ”

Liu Yan said straightly: "It's okay, in a few days, the Empress Dowager Xi will send someone to send rice, noodles, vegetables, vegetables and fruits to the embassy area, when the time comes, you tell me in advance, let me follow in, Master Li is the Prime Minister Yamen Zhangjing, this should be able to be done." ”

Li Chongzheng thought for a long time and finally agreed.

"Thank you, sir." Liu Yan straightened up to say goodbye, Li Chongzheng personally sent to the door, and when he came back, he locked himself in the study, picked up a brush and wrote two lines on rice paper.

"I smiled at the sky with my horizontal knife, and went to save the liver and gallbladder two Kunlun."

After writing, I threw away the pen, and the ambition was intense.

Outside the window, there was the shouting of the Boxers practicing boxing, Liu Yishi was right, this Great Qing Kingdom is really coming to an end.
