In addition, there is Qin Kuiliang to worship the futon, although it is simple, but it is much better than having nowhere to live. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Although it is only boiled millet with cabbage, it is already a delicacy for those who are hungry. So after swallowing the cabbage boiled millet, the Empress Dowager Cixi fell asleep on the futon contributed by Qin Zhizhou.

Li Lianying saw that her master was sleeping so soundly, she really couldn't bear to wake her up, but in this situation, don't wake her up, okay? This empathetic, eye-reading old lackey is not embarrassed.

But he still gently called away: "Lafayette, Lafayette......"

Cixi was woken up in a dream, and her face was slightly displeased. Li Lianying saw that she was awake. He put his mouth to her ear and said, "Lafayette, say hello to your old man!" ”

"Our ladies are so lonely in this kind of field, how happy are we?" As she spoke, she glared at Li Lianying, and unconsciously lost her former majesty, and tears dripped down.

Li Lianying hurriedly persuaded: "Lafayette, don't be sad about your old man, ask your old man Hongfu, Gansu Domain's Cen Chunxuan led his troops to pick up the driver, waiting for Lafayette to summon you." ”

When the Empress Dowager Cixi heard this, she was silent for a moment and asked, "Is it Cen Chunxuan, who was stationed in Zhangjiakou for the first time?" ”

"Exactly."

"He's a loyal servant, and he's thoughtful. Lianying, go to wake up the emperor and summon Cen Chunxuan. ”

"Yes."

When Cen Chunxuan saw Cixi and Guangxu, he knelt on the ground with a "plop", and only called "Queen Mother, Emperor", and cried bitterly. This led to a few tears from Cixi.

The Empress Dowager Cixi comforted him a few words, praised him a few words, said that he could still think of the emperor, he was a loyal minister, and ordered him to escort him carefully all the way, once he returned to the country in the future, he would have his benefits.

I tossed and turned a few times in the night, but I didn't sleep long, and it was dawn. Cen Chunxuan led the army to escort the holy car, marched forward, and arrived at Yulin Fort in half a day. It is very close to Huailai County on the north road.

A long procession came, and in front of them were dozens of Praetorian Guards, riding horses, galloping. When they arrived at the door of the auspicious shop, the Praetorian Guards led by them looked at Wu Yong and shouted: "The Queen Mother, the Emperor, here-" Wu Yong involuntarily flicked his court clothes and straightened his clothes.

Then he waved his hand to his soldiers, and the soldiers ran to the back of the Praetorian Guards and stood in a solemn row.

There was a crisp sound of footsteps at the end of the street, there was no other sound on the street, and everyone on the street waited nervously and patiently.

The queen mother's sedan chair finally arrived, and Wu Yong knelt down very solemnly and diligently.

"Chen Huailai County Magistrate Wu Yong, kneel to receive the Queen Mother's holy drive!" This loud shout lifted the spirits of all the people present.

There were about ten mule carts that came with it, some were double, some were single, and one by one they stopped at the door of the auspicious shop, and the palace concubines, worshippers, and Gege in the car all poured down, and poured into the door of the store again.

Immediately after that, a group of eunuchs walked into the store with a big grin. A group of ministers from the DPRK and China who came with them crowded the full street, blocking the path of the people behind. Wu Yong hurriedly stepped forward and beckoned them to the other two mule and horse shops to rest, and he was still waiting in front of the auspicious shop, waiting for the summons inside.

"Where is the magistrate? Where is the magistrate? Out of the store, a man dressed as an official shouted and looked around.

"Despicable is that." Wu Yong hurriedly greeted him.

"Don't you know that we're starving all the way? Find something to fill us up. ”

Before Wu Yong could answer, he heard a harsh voice behind him: "Who is the county commander of Huailai?" Without waiting for Wu Yong to answer, the soldiers on the street pointed at Wu Yong and said, "Second Chief, he is." ”

is known as the second chief eunuch, obviously the second chief eunuch Cui Yugui. Wu Yong nodded and said, "Chief, the humble position is." ”

"I'm calling you from above!" Cui Yugui said menacingly.

Wu Yong obediently followed Cui Yugui inside. Walking into the hall, Cui Yugui said to Wu Yong: "Wait here, Manager Li will come soon." After speaking, he looked at Wu Yong with both eyes and grinned. laughed so hard that Wu Yong was not embarrassed.

The Holy Driver was housed in a country house that was bright and dark, and in the middle of the room was a shabby square table, with a Taishi chair on the left and right sides of the table. The Queen Mother sat on the chair on the right.

Cui Yugui took Wu Yong outside the house and reported: "Huailai County Magistrate has arrived!" Then he raised the curtain of the door, waved his hand at Wu Yong, and motioned for him to enter.

Wu Yong stepped into the door, knelt on the ground, reported his resume, took off his hat, and kowtowed.

"Are you a banner man, or a Han Chinese?" Cixi asked.

"Han Chinese."

"Which province is it from?"

"Zhejiang." "Which 'Yong' is your name?"

"The 'eternal' of 'Changle Yongkang'."

"How many years have you been here?"

"It's been three years."

"How far is the county seat?" Cixi asked.

"Twenty-five miles."

"All the supplies, are you prepared?"

"I've been prepared, but I only got the letter last night, and the time is in a hurry, and it's really not thorough, and I'm so scared."

"It's good to be prepared." Saying that, the Empress Dowager Cixi actually cried. While crying, he said: "The mourning family and the emperor have traveled hundreds of miles, and almost no one pays attention to them, and now when you arrive in Huailai County, you are dressed and welcome, and you are really a loyal minister." ”

"Wu Yong, if you can meet you, you can prove your loyalty to the imperial court, you can be regarded as my loyal minister!" Cixi said.

"The emperor's grace is vast, and the ministers dare not swear allegiance to the death."

In order to divert the topic and not make the Empress Dowager Cixi sad, Li Lianying asked Wu Yong:

"Lord Wu, Lafayette and Long Live Lord have endured hardships all the way, and they have been hungry for two days and two nights.

Have you prepared your food? ”

"The meal has been prepared."

"You don't need to be so particular, you just have something to satisfy your hunger." Cixi didn't wait for Wu Yong to finish speaking, so she interjected.

"I also cooked three pots of millet porridge, which were prepared for the entourage." Wu Yong continued.

Hearing this, a few smiles appeared on the face of the Empress Dowager Cixi, who had been sad for two days.

I didn't care about paying attention to the image, and said excitedly: "Hurry up and bring it in, hurry up and bring it in, I'm hungry all the way." Go for it. ”

After receiving the order to leave, Wu Yong stood up.

Wu Yongzheng was at a loss in the courtyard, and in a daze, Li Lianying patted him on the shoulder, which startled Wu Yong, and suddenly came back to his senses, and hurriedly bowed his head and waited for orders. "You are so blessed, Lafayette passed on to you again." After Li Lianying finished speaking, she turned her head and walked into the house, and Wu Yong followed.

The Empress Dowager Cixi was still sitting on a chair on the right: "They just said that you are very good and capable. ”

"Lafayette has won awards, these are all things for the minister's duty, and it should be so." (To be continued.) )
