During the banquet, Li Lianying completely ignored the mood of the two people seated, and only talked about her own sky and her own land. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info He sometimes talks about planting flowers, sometimes talking about raising fish, sometimes talking about playing with eagles, sometimes talking about teasing dogs, full of interest, talking and laughing.

Li Lianying's appearance made Waitabu and Xu Yingqi, who were sitting at the banquet with him, bitter.

They were all very depressed, but now Li Lianying ignored them, only caring about talking about them there, completely ignoring their existence, which made them even more worried, but they couldn't borrow wine here to drown their sorrows, which was difficult for these two adults.

But they don't know Li Lianying at all, Li Lianying has always been very careful with the living in order to avoid the recurrence of the Xiao Anzi incident in herself.

Especially in this eventful autumn, after all, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, not to mention that he is meeting Xu Yingqi for the first time, which Li Lianying has to beware. Li Lianying pulled more and more from east to west, and the more Huai and Xu were like twenty-five rats in their stomachs, scratching their hearts with a hundred claws and fidgeting.

Huai and Xu couldn't sit down anymore, and the two exchanged glances with each other again, and Waitabu stubbornly said:

"Lord Steward, it seems that your old man doesn't want to help with our affairs."

"Two adults, where is this, it's not that the younger brother doesn't want to help, it's just that the important affairs of the court are extraordinary, our family doesn't dare to talk casually, I hope the two of you will forgive!"

"Don't worry, Lord Steward! Lord Xu is also a person in the play, and we don't dare to reveal the slightest bit about the matter between you and us. ”

"It's not that our family doesn't believe in Lord Xu." When Li Lianying saw Waitabu say this, she knew that he only understood half of what he meant.

"Then what do you mean ......", Waitab thought for a while, and then said, "Don't worry, Lord Steward, although this matter cannot be said directly, but please take care of it in front of Lafayette, once there is an opportunity, we will report to Lafayette about the situation of the reformers, and then let the emperor's reform plan be aborted......"

Li Lianying felt through the hearts of Waitabu and Xu Yingqi, and knew that the time was ripe, so she said:

"Two adults, now Lafayette trusts Rong Zhongtang the most, the day before yesterday he let him be the governor of Zhili, replaced Li Hongzhang, and ordered him to lead the heart of the army, why don't you take this opportunity to go to talk about it? As long as he is willing to speak to Lafayette, our family will have its own opinions. ”

This sentence has been said very clearly, as long as Rong Lu is willing to speak in front of Lafayette, he, Li Lianying, can strike while the iron is hot and help them.

Waitabu and Xu Yingqi were very happy to hear it, and finally waited for the sentence they wanted, so the two of them left the table at the same time to thank Li Lianying, and said at the same time:

"Thank you Lord Steward for your advice, the two of us will say goodbye, and there will be heavy thanks after the matter is completed!"

After that, the two said goodbye to Li Lianying and rushed to Tianjin to find Rong Lu for several days.

"I heard that you recently removed Li Hongzhang and Jingxin from their posts as ministers of the General Administration, right?" Cixi called Guangxu for questioning.

"The child returned to his father, yes, I removed Li Hongzhang and Jingxin from their positions yesterday."

"Then why did you remove them, you told the mourners that they were ugly." Empress Cixi said expressionlessly.

"Dear father, the child thinks that the so-called 'coastal defense donation' in the name of coastal defense should be abolished.

The child believes that now the imperial court is vigorously reducing officials, eliminating those who are hungry for corpses, and if the 'coastal defense donation' is still retained, it is equivalent to saying that the imperial court is increasing government officials, which is contrary to the original intention of the imperial court to reduce officials.

Moreover, the child believes that it is this kind of 'coastal defense donation' that makes the corrupt officials of the imperial court rampant and the government increasingly corrupt, so I issued an edict to the military aircraft and the General Administration to abolish the 'coastal defense donation'.

However, Li Hongzhang, Jingxin, and others openly disregarded my will, and not only did they not carry it out, but they also objected to it on the grounds that 'once the coastal defense donation is abolished, the government will have no money to support the army' and that 'the new policy is now being implemented and a large amount of money is needed, so it is not appropriate to abolish it.'"

The child thought that they only cared about selling their official positions to make money, and did not care about the interests of the court, so the child was angry and dismissed them from their positions, hoping that his father would know it. ”

The Empress Dowager Cixi listened to Emperor Guangxu's resounding words, and her face couldn't help but be clouded.

Doesn't it mean that Li Hongzhang disregards the interests of the country and only cares about selling his official position to make money, isn't this also talking about me, the Empress Dowager Cixi thought to herself, because Cixi often sells officials in the palace.

Li Lianying saw that Lafayette's face was getting more and more ugly, and knew that she was about to have a seizure.

Sure enough, the Empress Dowager Cixi said to Emperor Guangxu who was sitting opposite:

"Don't think that if the mourning family agrees to you to change the law, you can do whatever you want. Nine important ministers like Li Hongzhang cannot be easily removed if they do not have major mistakes.

And you are not bad now, credit Kang Youwei and others, regardless of relatives or alienation, but they are not used to these old ministers, and want to get them out of power one by one, and then you can do it boldly with confidence. I'll tell you, no way! ”

After speaking, the Empress Dowager Cixi calmed down her anger and said:

"Think about it yourself, you are the son of the mourning family, I hope that you can magnify your ancestors and inherit the inheritance left by your ancestors. But see for yourself what you are doing now, dismissing the important ministers of the state without authorization against the orders of the ancestors, if you continue like this, what kind of system will it become, if the ancestors and the ancestors learn about it under the Nine Springs, they will scold me. ”

After Cixi finished speaking, she sighed in anger.

Guangxu knelt in front of the Empress Dowager Cixi and said: "Dear father, the child thinks that if the ancestors can live to this day, they will also adapt those old rules." After speaking, he glanced at the Empress Dowager Cixi, and then said:

"The child was forced to do this, and now the people left behind by our ancestors have been lost, the land has been lost, and there is nothing we can do. The child would rather break the rules of his ancestors than lose his people and land and let the world curse and ridicule him. ”

The more the Empress Dowager Cixi listened, the more angry she became, she simply brushed her sleeves and left the table, and Li Lianying hurriedly followed, leaving Emperor Guangxu alone in Yulan Hall.

Two days later, news came from the eunuch who Li Lianying had placed beside Emperor Guangxu:

The emperor once bought hundreds of suits from outside, preparing to choose an auspicious day to "change the Yuan and civilization". This surprised Li Lianying very much, the emperor dared to violate the rules set by Lafayette first, and now the hair cut is easy to wear, so it will be repaid.

He hurriedly reported to the Empress Dowager Cixi, but the Empress Dowager Cixi did not say anything.

After Emperor Guangxu was scolded by the Empress Dowager Cixi, he did not make him give up his determination to change the law, but issued an edict to reiterate his determination to change the law, and the edict said:

"The revitalization of the country's government, both the use of the law, and the sincerity of the people's government, whether it is China or the West, are the same, and the Westerners have studied more deeply in this area, so they can make up for the shortcomings of our country.

Nowadays, scholars are ignorant of the situation in foreign countries, and almost all of them think that foreign countries are completely unorganized. As everyone knows, the study of politics in the West aims to develop wisdom for the common people and make them rich. The essence of its knowledge can make people's character beautiful and make people live longer.

The benefits that everyone should get in life must be promoted undoubtedly. (To be continued.) )
