Liu Yanzhi couldn't help but be in awe, picked up the music and said: "The secret method of detoxification and rejuvenation ...... forever"

"I got the wrong one, it's the following one." Zhou Jiarui coughed dryly and snatched back the secret method of beauty cultivation on it.

The real twist is about how to negotiate peace with foreigners, using the contradictions between the great powers to maximize the interests of the Qing court and minimize losses.

"How's that, it's okay." Zhou Jiarui said proudly.

"This calligraphy is not bad." Liu Yan said straightly, "As for the content, I won't comment on the things you wrote with a master's degree in history with a golden finger." ”

This is a joke, Liu Yanzhi believes that this twist and turn will definitely make Cixi's eyes shine, and then reuse Zhou Jiarui.

The next day, it rained again, the West Hunting team trekked hard, at noon saw a small blue-gray city in the distance, that is Zhili Huailai County, there are guards to enter the city first to inform Huailai County to pick up, the county ordered Wu Yong to lead three classes of six room wardens and officials out of the city to greet the Luanjia.

Huailai County is a small county town, lack of materials, Wu Zhixian painstakingly, organized a few tables of banquets, although it is just an ordinary local dish, it is much stronger than millet porridge, after the meal and arranged Cixi and Guangxu to live in the county Yahou house, the Queen Mother did not change her clothes, a blue cloth coat was worn for several days and smelled, the palace maids waited for a bath, changed the clean clothes provided by the county, it was actually a set of Han women's clothing, Cixi lived for more than 60 years and never wore Hanfu, this time I had to pinch my nose to wear.

That night, Liu Yanzhi was arranged to be on duty, and he was guarded at the gate of Cixi with a loaded gun, and he also followed Lin Huaiyuan's example, and asked Li Lianying to send the music in, and it didn't take much effort to make Li Lianying come out, full of smiles: "Guard Liu, Lafayette summons you." ”

After reading this text Cixi read ten lines at a glance, she was full of praise on the spot, and none of the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty could write such an insightful recital.

The article makes a detailed analysis of the purpose and needs of the great powers, the territory of the northeast coveted by Tsarist Russia, the peace talks must put forward the demand for ceding territory, but this demand is bound to cause opposition from other powers, the Qing Dynasty is vast and rich, everyone wants to monopolize it, but no one has such a big appetite, it is better to use Germany and Britain, which have always had a discord with Tsarist Russia, to contain them, and give them certain benefits by opening up coastal trade, and the main reason for Japan, a powerful enemy in Asia, to enter the war is to want to enter the civilized world, In addition, it has already reaped the benefits of the First Sino-Japanese War, and will not make excessive demands, and the most noteworthy thing is the United States, which will definitely replace Britain as the head of the great powers in the next few decades, and has no territorial claims to the Qing Dynasty, so it is a target that can be wooed...... As for the representatives of the peace talks, the article suggested that it would be appropriate to send Li Hongzhang, who has rich experience in dealing with foreigners.

At the end of the article, there is a signature Zhou Jiarui, which is an unfamiliar name, and Li Lianying can't say who it is.

Liu Yan went straight to see Cixi, and Lafayette asked with a pleasant face: "Boy, you wrote this?" ”

"It was written by my cousin Zhou Jiarui, he is a fallen talent in Jiangdong, he likes to read books on weekdays, and his writing is messy, so he has to ask me to dedicate it to the Queen Mother, I can't help it, so I ask Manager Li to do me a favor and make the Queen Mother smile." Liu Yanzhi still did not kneel in front of Cixi, nor did he call himself a slave, he was very arrogant and did not pay attention to his words.

Cixi is not annoyed, on the one hand, she thinks that Liu Yanzhi is a countryman who does not understand the rules, on the other hand, she is really impressed by this article, it is so well written, who said that there are no capable people in the Qing Dynasty, and there are talents all over the grass, all of them are buried, it seems that the eight-share imperial examination system should indeed be abolished.

"Xiao Lizi, go and call this person surnamed Zhou, the mourning family wants to talk to him." Cixi Road.

After a while, Zhou Jiarui came, he was a person who knew the rules, three bows and nine bows, Cixi gave a seat, he repeatedly refused to sit down, and finally couldn't push before putting his butt on the edge of the chair, and the look of sincere fear made Cixi very satisfied.

Liu Yanzhi continued to go out to stay overnight, how Zhou Jiarui fooled Cixi He didn't know, only that Teacher Zhou stayed in the house for more than two hours before coming out, and his face was full of spring breeze.

"How?" Liu Yanzhi asked.

"It's done, Lafayette sent me to Beijing immediately to assist Li Zhongtang in negotiating with foreigners, and also gave me an envoy to Prime Minister Yamen Wupin Zhangjing." Zhou Jiarui was complacent, as if he had seen his future, "I started with five products, and when the discussion is completed, I must still mention, and when the Qing Dynasty is finished in a few years, I have accumulated a certain family foundation, I don't want to be Li Hongzhang, let alone Yuan Shikai, I am satisfied when I am a character like Sheng Xuanhuai, rich and rival the country, and it will be famous for eternity." ”

"Go back to Beijing immediately, then dare to be kind, I'll go back with you, I don't want to be a guard." Liu Yan said straight.

"Your current identity can't just leave, the Queen Mother is kind to you, she is reluctant to let you go, and she will leave secretly if she wants to go." Zhou Jiarui looked left and right, "I'm waiting for you outside the city." ”

"What about Lin Huaiyuan?" Liu Yanzhi asked.

"Let him go, we don't owe him anything now anyway."

Early the next morning, Li Lianying came to serve Lafayette to comb her hair, and reported to her in horror that Liu Yanzhi, the guard of Baturu Lanling, left a letter without saying goodbye.

"Why are you leaving?" Cixi was puzzled, you must know that what is in front of Liu Yanzhi is a splendid future, the Qing Dynasty is at a time of internal and external troubles, and it is necessary to use swords and soldiers.

Li Lianying presented the letter, with a few lines of simple calligraphy, only saying that she liked the life of idle clouds and wild cranes, and did not want to be bound by the fame and official position, and at the same time left the royal yellow robe and horse coat.

"Well, let him go." Cixi lamented, last night she also sighed that the ancestors blessed, to the Qing Dynasty rewarded a text and a martial arts two worldly masters, did not think that the military general ran away early in the morning, fortunately there is still a civil official, this is not a symbol of the Qing Dynasty if you want to be rich and strong, not in the whole army and military, but in the change of law to become strong?

"Little Lizi, where is Lin Huaiyuan?" Cixi suddenly remembered this unlucky prefect, if it weren't for him, she wouldn't have met these two high-ranking hermits.

"The minion will go and proclaim." Li Lianying went out upside down, not much effort, Lin Huaiyuan came in and knelt down to say goodbye, Cixi asked him, this week Jiarui and Liu Yanzhi, which of your relatives.

Lin Huaiyuan sweated down, the power of the sky is unpredictable, he didn't dare to deceive, so he came to 1510, of course, the important part was omitted, only said that these two people were returned overseas Chinese from Nanyang, because they were heard talking in the restaurant, and they wanted to ask them to serve the country, but they didn't expect that they would suffer first and go to prison.

Cixi listened to it silently for a long time, and this answer was very much in line with her psychological expectations, these two people were really talents given by God to the Qing Dynasty.

"Lin Huaiyuan, you don't need to accompany you to the west, I will give you a decree, you can go back to Jiangdong."

"Thank you Empress Dowager Longen!" Lin Huaiyuan was overjoyed, touched the ground with his head, and banged.

After sending Lin Huaiyuan away, Cixi called several princes and ministers to draft a copy of the "Edict of Guilt", which was the first step of Zhou Jiarui's good policy.

……

Liu Yanzhi and Zhou Jiarui are traveling at the same time, and the Beijing division is in sight, at this moment the city of Beijing is being ravaged by the iron hooves of the eight-nation alliance, and as Chinese, they are powerless, and the two are frustrated and angry.

Zhou Jiarui was ordered to return to Beijing, but he was not ready to enter Beijing, because there was no talk at all now, and there was no minister to support the scene in the entire city of Beijing, and Ronglu, who was left behind by Cixi, also fled to Baoding, so Zhou Jiarui planned to go to Shanghai to meet Li Hongzhang, who was about to be appointed as the minister of peace, and meet the legendary Qing pasteur.

From Beijing to Shanghai, the most convenient way is to take a sea boat from Tianjin, the two went straight to Tianjin, Tianjin has experienced a bloody war has basically restored social order, Liu Yanzhi and Zhou Jiarui took off the fake braids on their heads, bought two sets of dresses in the concession to wear, temporarily pretended to be Japanese, bought a ticket to take the British Swire Steamship Company ticket, the destination Shanghai.

After two days of drifting at sea, the two came to Shanghai Tang at the beginning of the century, the Huangpu River is like a forest of masts, and there are not so many buildings on the bank of the Bund, but they have a small scale.

"If you buy a piece of land here for a few taels of silver, and if you demolish it in a hundred years, you will be a billionaire." Liu Yanzhi said with great interest.

"Come on, the next 80 years will be turbulent, and no one will be immune." Zhou Jiarui was a little depressed, "My golden period is the past twenty years, and I have saved enough capital, so I still have to move overseas." ”

The steamer is moored at the Taikoo Pier, and there are cruise ships crossing the ocean side by side, huge steel hulls, fluttering colorful flags, European ladies holding parasols, adventurers wearing old suits to China to pan for gold, and travelers from Annam, India and other places, all colors and languages, bustling and rubbing shoulders, really a bit of an international metropolis.

The guests lined up to get off the boat with their luggage, and a large number of coolies gathered on the shore, shouting pidgin English to help the passengers carry their luggage, and suddenly Liu Yan remembered one thing and asked Zhou Jiarui: "What time is it today?" ”

"On the first day of August, what's wrong?" Zhou Jiarui helped his glasses, he was holding a civilization stick, wearing a white suit, and looked like a fake foreign devil.

"I made an appointment, and I'm probably waiting for me." Liu Yan replied directly, looking around and looking in the crowd, his eyesight was excellent, but there were too many people on the dock to see it.

Zhou Jiarui asked him who he was looking for, Liu Yanzhi told the truth, and Mr. Zhou sneered: "Then you can't wait here, this is the concession wharf where foreign ships dock, and they will only wait for you at the river wharf over the old city." ”

The two rented a sampan and went down the river, not far from the county seat of Shanghai, a city surrounded by a city wall, and at the riverside was a large wharf, where all the Chinese wooden boats of inland waterway were docked, coolies carrying large bags, beggars asking for food, and passengers with tired and numb expressions, which was a century away from the scene of the Taikoo Wharf.

Liu Yan searched for a long time, and finally found the old housekeeper of the Lin Mansion.

"Liu Yishi, it's really you!" The old housekeeper was in tears and overjoyed.
