Guan Zhuofan's brain "buzzed", and he didn't have time to think about it, he knelt down in his robe, and said: "How can the ministers deserve such a reward for their little work?" Ask the two queen mothers to take back their lives! ”

"Don't be humble, you deserve it."

Guan Zhuofan was really a little anxious, and his voice was slightly raised: "The return of the Old Summer Palace artifacts to the country depends entirely on the queen mother of the two palaces and the emperor like Tianhongde. ”

After a pause, he calmed down his tone slightly: "The minister has repeatedly exceeded the qualifications and been favored, and he has been thinking about his heart in the middle of the night, only to feel that what he has done is too little, and what he has gained is too luxurious!" Sweating, tossing and turning, I can't sleep, I'm afraid it's hard to be kind! ”

After another pause, he continued: "The minister has just received the special grace of the king of Mengjia County, and he is grateful, I don't know how to repay it, and in the middle of the month, he was suddenly promoted to the king, this, this-"

Guan Zhuofan said in a very earnest voice: "Don't say that there are shocking discussions, just say-"

He paused again and said, "The minister is still young, and I implore the two queen mothers to leave the minister a step to enter the body in the future!" ”

Cixi smiled slightly: "Finished? ”

"Uh, yes, please admonish the Queen Mother."

Cixi turned to Ci'an: "Sister, what do you see? ”

Ci'an also smiled slightly and said: "The mouth is really neat, and it is said one by one." ”

This remark is very ridiculous, and this kind of remark rarely comes from the mouth of Ci'an, let alone above the court. Guan Zhuofan couldn't help but be embarrassed, but he couldn't answer, just knelt on the ground, his body fell down slightly, and at the same time pricked up his ears.

I only heard Cixi say: "What about eloquence, our sisters." It's no match for you. But that's the truth. I still have to say a few words. ”

Pick up the tea on the table. took a sip lightly, put down the teacup, and said, "First, don't say anything about Chen Guzi like 'Entering the Body'. ”

"For example, the sixth master, the title is the prince, and there is no way to be promoted again, which is not the same as sincerity. Diligently, doing things for the national court? Our two sisters, a queen mother and a queen mother, can no longer be promoted to an official, don't they get up early in the morning, sit here, and work with you? Why, if you don't have the 'step to the body', you can't do it—you can't do a good job? ”

One last word. said it very seriously, Guan Zhuofan really began to "sweat".

King Gong is on the side. Hearing Cixi say that he was "honest, diligent, and doing things for the national court", I couldn't help but have a sore nose and hot eyes, and almost shed tears.

In the past two years, he has been blamed at every turn, degraded again and again, and he has not heard this kind of warm and honest praise that is not an official article for a long time, and his heart can't help but make big waves. It's just that Cixi's words put her and Ci'an into it, and King Gong couldn't express any gratitude for this, so he had to be silent.

"Don't say you're just a county king! What a 'step into the body', hmph, far away! ”

This sentence seems to be a lesson, but in fact, it has a profound meaning, and everyone listens to it, including Guan Zhuofan, and their hearts are all jumping.

"Second, tell me why you were promoted to an official - it's not just because you got a few literary utensils for the imperial court!"

Cixi's eyes were blazing: "I'm wondering, why are the British willing to return the things they have stolen?" Naturally, it is because they want to 'unite with China to reject Russia' -- but this is not the only reason! ”

"Didn't the British just have to wrestle with the Russians today, didn't the two of them fight in the Xianfeng period? Why did he not think until today that he wanted to 'turn enemies into friends' with us and ask us to help him? ”

"That's because, until today, the British don't think we can really help! Before, our bodies and bones swayed when the wind blew, and we were too busy to take care of ourselves, how could we have the strength to help others? People can't even think of asking you for help -- that is, they can't afford to look up to us until today! ”

Cixi raised her voice: "I'm just a little more plain: the British don't want to and don't dare to bully us anymore!" You want to do business with us in a friendly way! Willing to reach out and make friends with us! ”

"It's only been a few years of hard work, how can the British face turn so quickly?"

Cixi's gaze fell on Guan Zhuofan: "Guan Zhuofan! ”

"The minister is here!"

"That's your credit!"

"Minister...... Panic ......"

"You have done a good job in foreign affairs, and you have better military training! The British have water in their eyes and will see! When you understand it, you will think: do business honestly and kindly, and make money, or a lot of money! If they are determined to be fierce and domineering, even if they can win against us, they will have to lose one arm and one leg by themselves! Besides, even if you break your arm and leg, you don't necessarily have to win the fight! We are far from their homeland, farther away from 'Central Asia'! ”

"I think, the British are not stupid, they know which is the business experience!"

This passage is really ...... Thorough!

Guan Zhuofan admired, and a thought suddenly popped up in his heart: If you go on like this, this sister, can I still hold it? Wouldn't it be a little ...... Get out of hand?

Cixi lowered her tone slightly and said, "However, when it comes to foreign affairs, everything is difficult at the beginning!" This head, but the sixth master opened it! Don't forget to dig wells, we can't forget the benefits of the sixth master! ”

King Gong never imagined that Cixi's words would turn to himself, and with a "boom" in his head, he fell to his knees, tears were already flowing, and his voice was choked: "Minister...... Thank you for the award of the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces! ”

Cixi nodded and said, "A few days ago, I picked an east pearl on the crown of the sixth master, which was just a sand and fascination with the eyes of outsiders, so I will return it to you today!" ”

"Minister...... Thank you Empress Dowager Longen! ”

"You two, let's have a good buddy! Now, the two of them are still brothers," Cixi pursed her lips and smiled, "In a few days, maybe they will kiss each other!" ”

"You two" naturally refers to Guan Zhuofan and King Gong.

"Kiss on kiss"? Yo, everyone immediately thought of it: this is talking about...... Princess Kwan Cheuk Van Chan Tun Jou, right? This words, for the first time in the court to discuss politics, from the mouth of the queen mother of the two palaces, although the words are not detailed, but with this sentence, it has been confirmed, well, it is no longer a "rumor"!

The people involved, etc., naturally jumped in their hearts.

"Guan Zhuofan."

"The minister is here."

"Jin is the king of the county, on the one hand, it is 'to reward the merit'; on the other hand, it is to show the people of the world and to the foreigners, it is not your business alone - do you understand what it means?"

"Minister...... Got it. ”

"Also, you always have to marry, you are promoted, when you marry, you look better!"

This sentence has another meaning!
