Chapter 1081: Persecution (Page 1/1)

The Empress Dowager and the Emperor inspected the northwest with him? Yi Zhixiang looked at Su Shun who was sitting under him a little stunned, he didn't expect that the inspection of the northwest would actually be complicated, the reason why he went to call Su Shun and Wu Changqing to accompany him was to let the imperial court attach great importance to the northwest.

Another one, there are two assistant ministers accompanying him, which will also make all ethnic groups in the two northwestern provinces feel the attention of the imperial court, and Su Shun is still the next prime minister, who knows that the queen mother and the little emperor will come to join in the fun.

After a deep groan, he said, "The emperor is only ten years old this year?" Good for touring the Northwest? ”

"It is better to read 10,000 books than to travel 10,000 miles." Su Shun said cautiously: "Besides, the queen mother and the emperor are touring the west, doesn't it show the importance of the imperial court to the northwest?" ”

"Brother Yuting should know that I don't like those red tapes." Yi Zhi's tone is very flat, although it is a hypocritical monarch, but the emperor is still the supreme monarch of the Qing Empire in name after all, he is just the identity of a vassal king, and he patrols with the queen mother and the little emperor, and he is not extremely depressed!

"It's just an inspection, and you don't have to ask Your Majesty to see you every day." Su Shun said with a smile: "After the Hypocrisy was established, a lot of red tape has been greatly reduced, and Brother Guocheng doesn't have to care. ”

After a pause, he said straightforwardly: "Prince Alcohol is acting recklessly in Shengjing, and there are many suspicions and criticisms from the government and the opposition. ”

What kind of rotten excuse is this? The fate of Prince Alcohol has already shown the attitude of the imperial court, what other suspicions and criticisms can there be? Yi Zhizu looked at him silently, this is worried that Yuan Qi will not forgive and settle accounts after the autumn? It stands to reason that he agreed to Prince Alcohol to go overseas, and he has already indicated that he will not pursue it again.

The other party's purpose should be just one, by touring the northwest with him, to enhance the emperor's sense of existence and increase political influence, which is like an outdated star looking for an opportunity to participate in activities with popular stars, the purpose is to gain popularity and increase popularity.

Seeing that he was silent, Zhao Liewen said: "The drought in the northern provinces is easing at the beginning, and Shanxi is still in a big drought. ”

Su Shun hurriedly said: "Now that the hypocrisy is a constitution, the queen mother and the emperor go out on patrol, they don't have to be as powerful as before, they can be completely light." ”

Yi Zhizu said slowly: "If it is light and simple, wouldn't it damage the emperor's prestige?" ”

Su Shun suddenly didn't know what to say, and secretly complained in his heart that there were many things, and it was obviously a two-pleasing thing, what kind of energy did he make blindly?

"Brother Yuting has been tired all the way, let's go and rest first." Yi Zhizu said slowly, and picked up the teacup as he spoke.

Hearing this, Su Shun was overjoyed, and secretly said that there was a play, since he did not explicitly refuse, it means that there is still a chance, when he got up to say goodbye, and waited for him to leave, Zhao Liewen said: "The big shopkeeper is a little excited? ”

lit a cigarette and took a slow puff, Yi Zhizhi said: "Since the empress dowager and the little emperor can put down their bodies and follow the tour of the northwest, why should we refuse people thousands of miles away, just give them a reassurance." Also, Zuo Zongtang and Feng Renxuan have been in charge of the northwest for too long, and they should be moved. ”

Is this suspicious of Zuo Zongtang and Feng Renxuan? Zhao Liewen didn't dare to ask more, and instead said: "Even so, the big shopkeeper must also have his own special train and guard." ”

Yi Zhishu nodded, "Call Shanghai, and in addition, please come with your wife." ”

Prime Minister's Residence, 10 Downing Street, Westminster Borough, London, England.

The Marquis de Salisbury, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, walked briskly into the spacious office of Prime Minister Disraeli and presented a telegram, saying: "There is a call from Beijing, the Empress Dowager and the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty and the King of Zhennan, Yi Zhicontent, are inspecting Central Asia. ”

Touring Central Asia? Disraeli frowned, and after reading the telegram, he muttered, "Why did Yi Zhishu suddenly visit Central Asia? Isn't it still two years before the Eurasian Railway is fully opened? ”

Salisbury said: "I think this should be a positive signal that the Qing State wants to vigorously develop Central Asia. ”

The Qing state's vigorous development of Central Asia was not good news for England, which meant that the Qing could strengthen economic ties with Russia, Persia and even the Ottomans through rail, which would seriously affect the interests of England in the Ottomans and Persia.

What worries Disraeli even more is Russia, and the closer relations between Qing and Russia will inevitably promote Russia's rapid development. Russia has always been ambitious, and the Eastern European Plain is the golden road to Europe, once Russia can develop rapidly, it will inevitably pose a serious threat to the whole of Europe, this is an even more headache opponent than Germany!

"Your Excellency, the opening of the Eurasian Railway poses the greatest threat to European countries not our country, but Germany." Salisbury said slowly: "Once Russia becomes strong, Germany will directly face the threat from Russia. ”

Disraeli raised his eyebrows, "You mean to stir up relations between Germany and Russia?" ”

"With the coordination of the Qing state, it is unlikely that we will want to stir up relations between Germany and Russia." Salisbury said: "I think this news may prompt Germany to take a risk. ”

Disraeli's expression suddenly became serious, he realized the seriousness of the problem, for Germany, the most dangerous enemies are France and Russia, because of the Franco-Prussian War, Germany and France are already irreconcilable contradictions.

And Russia is Germany's biggest opponent in Europe's expansion, and Germany is also a stumbling block to Russia's expansion in Europe.

Germany will not sit idly by when it realizes that Russia will become strong quickly because of the opening of the Qing-Russia railway, and it is very likely that before Russia becomes stronger, it will try its best to weaken France, it should be said to weaken Britain and France, because England cannot sit idly by and watch Germany cripple France!

"There's another piece of news." Salisbury continued: "There is a call from Shanghai that Germany intends to issue 20 million pounds of government bonds in the Shanghai bond market. When I inquired, German domestic banks are also pumping funds on a large scale...... ”

What does Germany need so much money for? Disraeli's heart sank, and his previous worries seemed to have become a fact, "Germany is purchasing arms from the Qing State?" ”

Salisbury nodded, "It should be a big purchase of warships, torpedoes, and submarines." After a pause, he continued: "I think that Yi Zhi's contentment tour of the northwest should force Germany to take a risk. ”
