Nan Bendao's words reminded Cixi that in front of outsiders, especially Guan Zhuofan's people, one should not reveal obvious "resentment" towards Guan Zhuofan. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

This Guangang Palace, up and down, is naturally "Guan Zhuofan's person", especially the Ding Hu family. Cixi was like a mirror in her heart, and Hu's envoys were not only serving herself, but also watching herself—needless to say.

In fact, it is Nan Bendao himself, why is he not "Guan Zhuofan's person"?

In Nan Bendao's own words, she is Guan Zhuofan's "acquaintance among the dense crowd"; At the same time, Nan Bendao's mother and daughter, in a foreign country, all rely on Guan Zhuofan's wings, no matter how big or small, they have to rely on it, to say something unpleasant, their lives are pinched in Guan Zhuofan's hands, how can they not be "Guan Zhuofan's people"?

Therefore, even though in Li Lianying's eyes, Cixi is "as close as a sister" to Nan Bendao, but, in fact, Cixi has not lost the most basic judgment of "Guan Zhuofan's person" to Nan Bendao.

However, Cixi looked at it coldly, and the same "Guan Zhuofan's people", Nan Bendao and Ding Hu, are actually fundamentally different.

First, although Nan Bendao said that Guan Zhuofan "knew and pulled out in the dense crowd", but this "knowledge and pulling" can only be said to be "recognized in the micro" at most, and cannot be said to be "recognized in the mud".

Before Kusumoto came to China, he was already a very famous local doctor in Nagasaki, although because of his background, mother and daughter were discriminated against, but it was all behind the scenes, in front of Kusumoto Rice, no matter who it was, whether it was an official or a citizen, they were still very polite, and they were all a "Dr. Kusumoto" or "Mr. Kusumoto".

In terms of livelihood, in Japan at that time, although the income of doctors was not high, they were finally able to be self-sufficient in food and clothing, and there was no risk of freezing and discouragement.

Nan Bendao's eastward crossing to China is certainly because of the desire to get rid of the cage and reunite father and daughter, and at the same time, there is also considerable temptation to create a situation and develop a career; But on the other hand, Guan Zhuofan at that time was a rescuer invited by the shogunate, almost equivalent to the shogunate's emperor, and his request, Nan Bendao, a weak woman with no power and no power, had no ability to refuse at all.

That is to say, Nan Bendao's eastward crossing to China has an element of being forced, and in a sense, their mother and daughter are a "trophy" of Guan Zhuofan.

Cixi even wondered for a while that Guan Zhuofan had any bad intentions for this half-old who still had charm?

Even if he doesn't have any evil thoughts about Kusumoto himself, he ...... to her daughter Well, what about that Kusumoto Takako? With Nan Bendao's appearance, her daughter is probably stunning, right? Hmph, Guan Zhuofan's bastard, I don't know yet?

In any case, in Cixi's view, Nan Bendao and Guan Zhuofan, trust each other is not unreserved, otherwise, Nan Bendao went to Europe to reunite with her biological father, why didn't her daughter follow her to meet her grandfather? Guan Zhuofan left Nanben Gaozi in Shanghai, not at ease, if he released his daughter too, the mother and daughter would never return?

Second, after a period of getting along, Cixi found that although Nan Bendao has a gentle temperament, she actually has her own insistence on dealing with people, and she will not discern opinions and things that she does not agree with, but she will never agree with it at will, even in the face of herself, the Queen Mother.

When the two of them talk, sometimes there will be such a situation: something about Taixi, after Nanmoto Dao repeatedly explained to Cixi, Cixi still shook her head, "How is it possible?" At this time, Kusumoto will be silent and will not speak.

If the second person is replaced, at this time, nine times out of ten they will say, "What the Queen Mother said!" This, this, uh, hearsay, the history of barnyard officials, the original is not enough to be believed", Yunyun.

It's Guan Zhuofan, who also did this.

One day, he held a "globe" and ran over to himself and the "east" and said: The earth under our feet is actually a round ball.

He and "Dongbianer" have repeatedly expressed that they are unbelievable, so Guan Zhuofan changed his words and said, "The Queen Mother is really a saint, everything is in the insight, this thing is really not credible, please lock it in the warehouse, and you will not let the fallacy spread", Yunyun.

Later, the American general Doolittle went to Hajj and asked about it, and Doolittle insisted that "the earth is round" and explained a large number of rounds. Although I still don't understand what is going on, my concept of "the Kyushu continent is flat and boundless" has begun to waver.

Regarding whether the earth is round or flat, Nanben Dao's statement is exactly the same as Du Lide, and he is serious and repeated, although Cixi still has not really figured it out and thought it through, but he has roughly agreed that "the earth is indeed round".

Well, let's make a comparison between Guan Zhuofan and Nan Bendao and Du Lide-

How did Guan Zhuofan explain to himself and the "East Side"?

If the earth were a sphere --

Dongbian said, "We live on top, that's fine, but the foreign devils live below, so isn't it big head down, all of them have fallen?" ”

What did Guan Zhuofan say? Oh, "Perhaps, the foreign devil has practiced a kung fu of walking with his head down, and I don't know......"

Looking back now, isn't he just coaxing children when he says that?

Hmph, this bastard, if you put it lightly, it is "a gentleman", and if you put it more seriously, it is a "bully"!

Nan Bendao's style, at the beginning, Cixi was quite unaccustomed, and she was displeased more than once, but later, she figured it out:

Du Little is fine, in the end, it is a guest secretary, after the war in Japan is over, and after receiving the title and reward, you can pat your ass and go back to the United States, and you don't have to deliberately curry favor with the Chinese queen mother, but Nan Bendao is different! Their mother and daughter, in the future, will be tied to China, and she refuses to "obey the king", which is a real "loyalty".

So, is the one who is "the gentleman" a real "loyalty"?

I don't know.

Since Nan Bendao is unwilling to "obey the king", he may not be obedient to his "benefactor" under any circumstances.

In today's terms, Kusumoto rice is that kind of ...... Well, people with a "complete and mature worldview" and an "independent personality".

The reason why Cixi was "as close as a sister" to Nan Bendao and "courteous to the court" was of course because of her superb medical skills and dedication, and Li Lianying's words, "If the Empress Dowager is bored and wants to find someone to talk to, she has to find Mr. Nanmoto" -- in fact, Nanmoto Dao has already become Cixi's teacher without the name of a teacher.

In addition, based on Nan Bendao's character and her special and delicate relationship with Guan Zhuofan, Cixi believes that there is not a gap between Nan and Guan, and she really needs Guan Zhuofan to drive a wedge of her own!

Because, in the past ten months, Guan Zhuofan has become more and more incomprehensible, and she is more and more at ease!

This kind of deep doubt is not just born today.

Of course, it was not born as soon as I arrived in Tianjin.

Li Lianying said that when the Queen Mother first arrived in Tianjin, she was "very interested", but in fact, not only "very good interest"?

As soon as she left the Forbidden City, Cixi felt that the sky was bluer, the clouds were whiter, the air was fresher, and the sun was brighter!

The closer you get to Tianjin, the better the interest! Along the way, Cixi smiled at Yan Yan, Yu'er and Li Lianying both said that the last time they went back to Tianjin, the interest of the Queen Mother didn't seem to be as good as this time!

When Luan drove onto the black road that was "as thoughtful as a stone, as straight as an arrow", Cixi said something like this, "Okay, it's almost home!" ”

Yu'er, who was in the same car, listened to it in her ears, and her heart jumped hot.

Luan drove into the Guangang Palace, stepped off the golden carriage, and Cixi said again, "Alas, I'm finally home!" ”

At that time, she tilted her face slightly, squinted her eyes, and the intoxicated look on her face left a very deep impression on Yu'er and Li Lianying.

At that time, Cixi's heart really regarded the Guangang Palace as her home.

The area of the Guangang Palace is naturally far less than that of the Forbidden City, but most places in the Forbidden City, there is no special reason, and the Queen Mother is difficult to set foot in.

The so-called "walking bend" is just in his own Changchun Palace, going back and forth, a courtyard with two entrances, in Cixi's self-deprecating words, it is like "letting go of the wind".

Guangang Hayakugu is different! Every place, every scene, anytime, anywhere, come and go at will, and there is no need for any Luanyi, thoughts together, Yu'er and Li Lianying accompany, go downstairs and go out, whatever you want.

Therefore, the scope of actual activities far exceeds that of the Forbidden City.

You can also travel to the palace gate.

Around the Guangang Palace, the scenery is excellent, the river is meandering, the blue waves are rippling, the ancient trees are bending, the leaves are green, the water birds are gathering, and the lake is swirling. This large area of abundant water and grass scenery has been circled and designated as a "military restricted area", and the Guangang Palace is located in the center of the "military restricted area".

Cixi can move freely in the "military restricted area", of course, it is not enough to bring Yu'er and Li Lianying to the door of the palace, but also to bring the Hu family, in addition, there must be a soldier of the Xuan Army Guards Regiment to defend it.

The area of this "military forbidden zone" far exceeds the "Three Gardens of the Old Ming Dynasty" of Yuanmingyuan, Changchun Garden, and Qichun Garden combined, and the Forbidden City, not to mention.

It is also possible to take a boat.

Behind the Guangang Palace, there is a small pier where a beautifully decorated steamer is moored - a cruise ship dedicated to the Queen Mother.

Therefore, as soon as she entered the Guangang Palace, Cixi not only had the feeling of "returning home", but also got rid of the cage and the sky was wide!
