It is a very cumbersome matter for the queen mother of the two palaces to drive back to Beijing from the Old Summer Palace, and there is a set of rules for the ancestors of the Qing Dynasty, which is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Rites. From Emperor Tongzhi personally going to greet him, to driving into Beijing, every link must be done meticulously. Therefore, the busy person is the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Linggui.

Linggui Aijue Luo, the seventh grandson of Changning, the son of Wuben. Daoguang was raised in 15 years, Jinshi in 18 years, and edited in 21 years. Later, he successively served as the Minister of Internal Affairs, the Commander of the White Flag, the Commander of the Blue Banner Han Army, the Deputy Commander of the Blue Banner Manchuria, the Deputy Commander of the Yellow Banner Han Army, the Household, the Ministry of Labor, and the Cabinet Bachelor. During the Tongzhi period, he was also in charge of ministry affairs and flag affairs, and enriched the vice president of the Record Museum, the vice president of the National History Museum, the Mongolian Metropolitan of Zhenglanqi, the Imperial History of the Left Capital of the Metropolitan Inspection Academy, and the Book of the Ministry of Rites.

Linggui is meticulous about etiquette and does every link loyally. And Li Guolou's task is to accompany the Tongzhi Emperor to visit the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces, and other things are to accompany the Tongzhi Emperor Yuanmingyuan for a few days.

Emperor Tongzhi took Li Guolou with him, that is, he used Li Guolou as a shield, and the affairs he did in Beijing had already been known to the Empress Dowager Cixi, and he was a little weak in his heart, afraid that Eniang would punish him for messing around. The little eunuch Du Zhixi had been hidden by him and hid outside the palace to avoid the limelight. And Du Eniang, a prostitute raised outside the palace, was given to Li Guolou as his wife, all the dirty things were wiped clean, and there was no trouble behind the buttocks. But he didn't know that he was unladylike, and he didn't know that Li Guolou rode Du Eniang to conquer, and let the favored slave put a green hat on him.

When the two Eniang were not mad at him in the morning, the Tongzhi Emperor was in a happy mood, and the early winter was cold, but the Tongzhi Emperor was very interested, and took Li Guolou to play in the Old Summer Palace. Ran to the Western Building to see the laying of Western railroad tracks, the train has not yet entered the Old Summer Palace, and the railroad tracks can also become a landscape.

A flatbed car that rolls like a pulley on rails has become a toy of the Tongzhi Emperor. This kind of flatbed car is placed on the rails, it is convenient to carry materials when building the railway, and the manual rail car is used, several people can sit, one or two people shake the mechanical device curved arm, and the flatbed car can move forward on the rails at a high speed, and the speed is not great, exceeding the speed of the horse.

Li Guolou and Nabazi cooperated on the flatbed pulley and demonstrated it to Emperor Tongzhi how the flatbed pulley moved forward and how to retreat, and the forward and backward speed were the same. The two of them shook their arms and flew at a high speed, which was dizzying to watch, and Emperor Tongzhi was excited to see it, and clapped his hands. Reluctantly watched the flatbed pulley turn a corner and disappear from sight.

"This dog minion can play by himself." Emperor Tongzhi was quite dissatisfied, could it be that he only had a share, it was not difficult at all, such a simple action, who would not do it.

The great eunuch Liu Deyin was a little anxious, afraid that Emperor Tongzhi would personally try the danger, the railroad track had not yet been completed, and the danger would be at any time, so he hurriedly bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is in the courtyard next door, don't go up and sit, the minion's head still wants to stay on his neck for a few more days." ”

The great eunuch Liu Deyin has a big face, although the Tongzhi Emperor is annoying, but he can't scold him in front of others, and the palace pays attention to rules and prestige. If the great eunuch Liu Deyin falls out of favor, he will be chaotic. Unless he was ready to remove Liu Deyin, Liu Deyin did not refute Emperor Tongzhi, but in a different way, nodded and said, "Well, I have my own measure." Liu Deyin, you go to the Queen Mother's place once, and tell Eniang that I will accompany her to dinner in the evening. ”

"Zha! The minion will go and say. "Where can Liu De manage the Tongzhi Emperor, out of sight is pure, anyway, he has already said that he does not need to be responsible for accidents.

The flatbed pulley returned to Emperor Tongzhi and slowly stopped, Li Guolou jumped his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, how about it, the locomotive is three or four times more than this thing, and it doesn't take physical strength, only the workers need to eat coal for the locomotive." ”

"Well, good, good! I understand, Li Guolou, you give me down, let me play with the money. Emperor Tongzhi was eager to try it, and stepped on the flatbed truck with one foot.

"Your Majesty, it's dangerous. When the train comes, the minion will personally serve you to play. Li Guolou was in a hurry, dragged the dragon robe of the Tongzhi Emperor, and did not let the Tongzhi Emperor get into the car.

"Bold! Li Guolou let go of his hand and was careful of the dog's head. Emperor Tongzhi still stood next to the rocker arm and learned to do the rocker movement empty-handed.

Li Guolou was dismissed, and he was not worried, this kind of flatbed truck was actually not much dangerous, and it could be stopped at any time. People can sit down, as long as they don't jump out of the car while they are not taxiing. As for being punished by the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces, he had already prepared in his heart, and after committing so many things, the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces would always find a reason to beat him, so as to make the two old women angry.

"To the emperor, that's it, don't let go, just say it, and the slave will slow down a little. If the emperor doesn't want to swing his arm, he will sit down immediately, pull the rope next to him, and it will be fine. Na Bazi meticulously taught the Tongzhi Emperor how to use the rocker arm, and he was excited to be able to serve the emperor so closely.

"Drive!" The flatbed pulley began to roll, and the Tongzhi Emperor seemed to ride a galloping horse and began a fresh journey. This is the progress of history, the Qing Empire has kept up with the pace of the industrial revolution, the hunting cold wind blows past the ears, it is good to enjoy the acceleration, the roar sounds trembling, and the rolling wheels are moving towards the times. This is even more exciting than riding a little lady, "That money, a little more." ”

"Piercing!" Naba carefully increased the speed of the rocker arm, and the flatbed pulley began to slide rapidly, this is the power of the train, and no one can stop the wheels of history.

Emperor Tongzhi was sweating all over, full of vitality, and his whole body was inexhaustible, watching the buildings disappear from front of his eyes, and it turned out that nature still had this kind of fantasy scene. He had a lot of fun, as if he was practicing martial arts on the martial arts training ground. The four-kilometer journey is fleeting, and the Tongzhi Emperor has watched the scenery of the Western Mansion all the way, and he still hasn't jumped off the flatbed pulley.

"I remember you, do your job." Emperor Tongzhi was very satisfied with the renovation of the Old Summer Palace, and in two years he would be able to see a full Old Summer Palace.

"Thank you for the master's cultivation, the slave will definitely repair the garden, and then let the master play." That Bazi climbed along the pole, followed Li Guolou's example, salivated on his face, and kowtowed to send Emperor Tongzhi away.

Li Guolou followed and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, if you sweat and are blown by the wind, you will get sick." Or go to the bath, and the slave will retire. ”

Emperor Tongzhi rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Bold minion, I want me to die early." Taking a bath so early, I still want to live to be eighty years old. ”

Emperor Tongzhi was served by a bare-ass maid in the bath, he thought crookedly, and did not hesitate to veto Li Guolou's proposal and continue to walk around the Western building. The sun shines on his head, and the warm sun shines on his body, how can he get sick, and he is not a sick seedling.

"The slave knows that he is wrong, and he hopes that the emperor will forgive his sins." Li Guolou turned over and knelt on the ground, he shouldn't talk too much, and his kindness was treated as a donkey's liver and lungs. I secretly admired Emperor Tongzhi's energy, he could play during the day and fight at night, and this physique was comparable to that of the majestic and magnificent Holy Grandfather.

In the morning, Emperor Tongzhi You Xing was in full swing, taking a group of eunuchs around, and Li Guolou was also accompanied. This time, Emperor Tongzhi came to the Old Summer Palace without bringing the queen and concubine, but to prepare for a few days of self-cultivation here, so that the empress dowager of the two palaces could see a reformed emperor. The little minister kicked him away, the prostitute gave it away, and he no longer sank into the love of men and women, and put his mind on state affairs, so the emperor is not a good emperor? Since the pro-government, it has been thriving, just like this Old Summer Palace, old trees have sprouted.

"It's good to be rich! Li Guolou, tell me honestly, where did you get so much money? "Emperor Tongzhi went around in circles in the Ten Thousand Flower Array, and he couldn't find the exit of the labyrinth for a while. I am curious that Li Guolou can accomplish so many things in such a short time.

Li Guolou already knew the maze array diagram of the Ten Thousand Flowers Array, but he was still like a headless fly, hitting walls everywhere.

Li Guolou couldn't bear it anymore and said in his heart: "The emperor is not a slave who has money, but you don't know if you have money." The state has collected 3% more money, and so much money has been embezzled by officials of all sizes, and your mother, uncle, uncle, and relatives are all big embezzlers. The ability of the slaves is to borrow their money, first use the blade, and get rich together. ”

"Well, I know, so I didn't ask." Emperor Tongzhi couldn't help laughing, the country increased its wealth, but it could not open the knife to the original system, and the privileges of the Manchurians could not be touched. Only by intensifying the industrial revolution, discovering financial resources, and opening up financial channels can Li Guolou's investment of 3% shares become astronomical.

"The emperor should go from here!" Li Guolou seemed to have found a road to heaven, and the surprise pointed to the light.

"Hmmm! Because it's here. "Emperor Tongzhi looked at the tall red walls and the green shades, each red wall has different symbols, that is, obscure marks, if anyone can read these strange marks, they can get out of the labyrinth, but who will be so free to recite the deep meaning of the strange symbols.

The two walked out of the Ten Thousand Flowers Array one after the other, and let out cheers and shouts together. Emperor Tongzhi has known this labyrinth since he was a child, but he has never walked through it, because the Western building of Changchun Garden has been closed long ago. I didn't expect Li Guolou to be so capable, and he repaired the Western Building in a short time, and it could be used as a bedroom for him immediately. When I come next time, I can take the queen Arut, Concubine Hui, Concubine Yoga, and Concubine Xun to hide and seek together.

Emperor Tongzhi was in a good mood, talking and laughing all the way, but when he came to the empty Yuanying Temple, he couldn't laugh. Because there used to be dozens of Western KitKat bells, as well as various cultural relics of Westerners, but they were stolen by the invasion of the Eight-Nation Alliance during the Xianfeng period, and until now there are only some Western-style furniture here, and nothing else.

Li Guolou saw that Emperor Tongzhi was displeased, hurriedly approached him, and said: "Your Majesty, foreigners' antiques must be customized, and the price is expensive. The minions now have limited financial resources, and they are unwilling to let the silver be earned by foreigners, and it will be two or three years before they can afford to buy foreigner antiques. ”

"Well, it's hard for you." Emperor Tongzhi left Yuanyingguan with his hands behind his back, and recalled bitterly, allowing him to shoulder the burden of the rise of a country and regain his ambition to be a monarch. He puffed up his chest and walked up the stone steps, fragrant with plants and flowers, pleasant scenery, picturesque and dreamlike Western buildings, all this is just a passing cloud. Showing the majestic strategy of governing the country and the country, so that the people of the world can be in the emperor's grace, this is what he can do.

As for the housework, it was left to the slave Li Guolou to deal with, and the Tongzhi Emperor said: "Li Guolou, there is a long way to go, your burden is not light, and there will be two gardens next year." ”

"Your Majesty, spare your life, one garden has crushed the backbone of the minions, and there are two gardens, let's go back in a few years." Li Guolou's knees weakened and he knelt on the ground. This thing must not be agreed, if you can't do it well, you can't do it well, he doesn't have the financial resources, but the Qianlong Emperor used hundreds of millions of taels of silver to repair the huge Old Summer Palace, where did he find hundreds of millions of taels of silver.

"Poof", Emperor Tongzhi was happy, and said with a smile: "Dog minion, don't listen to the wind is rain, I just said, you can come little by little, I didn't ask you to complete the repair at one time." ”

"Oh······ The emperor is really a merciful king. Li Guolou was flustered, put it down, looked up at the high Tongzhi Emperor, the young man's personality is erratic, many things depend on the future development, the unknown world, there will be many variables. Will the young Tongzhi Emperor be gracious to him as always? And will he end as sad as He Shen. All the seeds "causes" will grow into "fruits", and will the evil fruits cultivated by him be in a natural cycle? Li Guolou couldn't help but shudder, and lowered his head in fear, the power of heaven was unpredictable!
