When the Empress Dowager Cixi was resting in the Purple Light Pavilion, Li Lianying outside the door shouted softly: "Lafayette, Lafayette." [Ran^Text^Library] []. [774] [buy]. [com]*ha&"

The Empress Dowager Cixi opened her eyes slightly, and she was a little unhappy in her heart, what is the matter with this Li Lianying, she shouted to herself at noon, she was not asleep.

If Li Lianying was his most beloved after all, Cixi didn't delve into it, and said: "Little Lizi, what's the matter, it's time to rest at noon, you come over and shout to mourn the family." ”

Li Lianying said outside the door: "Back to Lafayette, something big has happened, and now Rong Zhongtang, Prince Qing, Xu Zhongtang and others are waiting outside the door, and the slave begs Lafayette to open heaven and receive him." ”

Cixi said lightly: "What big thing can happen?" Alright, let's let the big guys come in, it's noon, and it's hot outside. ”

Li Lianying agreed, pushed open the door, Rong Lu and the others walked in a row, entered the Purple Light Pavilion and knelt down to Cixi.

Cixi asked lightly: "What's the matter, what's wrong, you all ran here one by one!" ”

Rong Lu and the others knelt on the ground and didn't get up, Prince Qing Yixuan cried directly, shouting: "Lafayette, Lafayette, you have to come forward quickly, something big is going to happen." ”

Cixi's heart jumped, and she said angrily: "Yixuan, you are a prince, why is it so unimportant!" What's going on? ”

Rong Lu knelt on the ground and said: "Lafayette, this morning, the emperor suddenly said that the defense force of the capital is insufficient, and Zhang Jianzhi outside the gate has been successful in training, which is enough to defend the three eastern provinces. ”

Cixi said angrily: "Why is the emperor so ignorant? Zhang Jianzhi's eagle outside the gate looks at the wolf, the wolf's ambition, Iktang A is a nail arranged by Zhang Yi's side, there is no change, what is Iktang A doing, Waitabu can still make do with government affairs, let him lead the troops, is it okay? ”

Cixi paused suddenly, and said: "Ronglu, just such a little thing, although the emperor has handled it a little inappropriately, but it will not make you panic, run to the mourning family, what else is going on." ”

Li Lianying hurriedly knelt down and cried: "Lafayette, you are wrong. Your Majesty, this is not an ordinary conscription, he is taking the opportunity to take charge of the military, and he wants to catch the old school ***, he thinks Lafayette is in the way, and wants Lafayette to hand over the power and retire completely, woo woo......"

Cixi was shocked and shouted: "Little Lizi, don't talk nonsense, although the emperor is too impatient, how can he do such a ridiculous thing?" ”

Li Lianying cried: "Lafayette, originally, the slave arranged an inside line in the Nanhai Hall, and wanted to see what Kang Liang *** was plotting every day, who knew that last night, the emperor drove to the Nanhai Hall and personally met with the former Prime Minister Ito Hirobumi of Rì'běn, and asked Ito Hirobumi about the implementation of the new policy, Ito Hirobumi actually suggested directly to the emperor, waiting for the opportunity to grasp the military power, and wipe out the old *** blocking the road, and then promote the new policy, Zhang Jing walked Lin Xu directly to the emperor, It is said that Iktang A has always been loyal and brave, upright, and is the first choice of force relied on by the emperor's powerful innovation, and these things were heard by the inner line arranged by the slaves, and he personally came to the Summer Palace in the morning to make a report, and the emperor listened to the slander of these people, and today he has issued an order to summon Iktang A into Beijing! ”

Cixi was stunned after hearing this, although he and Guangxu had a disagreement on the issue of the new deal, but he still supported him, but let him advance steadily, not too hasty, he actually listened to the slander of these people so easily, and wanted to find Yiktang A to enter Beijing, this is, this is to clean up himself.

Cixi was furious and roared: "Your Majesty, he, what is he going to do!" Even the words of the rì'běn people are easily believed, has he forgotten that three years ago, it was Ito Hirobumi who presided over the Korean War, and she was playing with fire! Play with fire! The Qing Dynasty can't just let him be ruined! ”

Rong Lu on the ground replied: "Lafayette, Lafayette is angry, now the emperor's will may have arrived in Jilin, and now I am afraid that it is too late to change the will, and it is useless for you to be angry." ”

Cixi asked: "Rong Lu, usually you have the most ideas, tell me how to deal with this matter?" ”

Rong Lu replied: "Lafayette, this matter alone is easy to deal with, since Yi Ke Tang A is ordered to enter Beijing, then you will give a decree to Song Qing stationed in Shanhaiguan, let him intercept Yi Ke Tang A on the way, and now, we must start first, please Lafayette directly give Yi Ke Tang A to death at that time, and the border army of the town will be temporarily incorporated into Song Qing's department, and then make plans when it calms down in the future." It's just that the emperor is there, and the ministers don't know how to deal with it, and they don't dare to criticize the king! ”

Cixi's eyes flickered with a cold light, and she asked, "What do you mean?" ”

Prince Qing gritted his teeth and replied: "Lafayette, the minister thinks that now the emperor is implementing a new policy, which has made people resentful, and the Qing Dynasty is now unrecognizable and disappoints the people. ”

Cixi's heart was shocked, and she said angrily: "Presumptuous! ”

Prince Qing hurriedly stopped talking.

Rong Lu then counted: "Lafayette, now we have to take precautions, and ask Lafayette to prepare early and control the situation." ”

Cixi suppressed her anger, pondered for a moment, and said: "Convey the decree, appoint Chongli as the commander of the Nine Gates, the commander of the infantry in the capital, and be in charge of all the defense of the capital, Rong Lu will return to Tianjin immediately, strictly rectify the new army, restrain the deployment, and not cause any changes; Wear a secret decree to Song Qing, Yi Ke Tang A intended to rebel, read his hard work, and when he arrived at Shanhaiguan, he directly gave poisoned wine Bai Aya, and the border army of the town was handed over to Song Qing for the time being, and it was not allowed to enter the territory of Shanhaiguan. ”

Cixi thought for a while and said: "Order, Chongli immediately lead the soldiers, arrest Ito Hirobumi, and deal with it later!" ”

Rong Lu was taken aback and said, "Lafayette, slow down." ”

Cixi looked back at Rong Lu.

Rong Lu replied: "Lafayette, as for Ito Hirobumi, it is better for Lafayette to put it down gently." Ito Hirobumi, is the former prime minister of Rì'běn, has a huge influence in Rì'běn, and almost all the military and political dignitaries in Rì'běn are from his disciples, if you arrest Ito Hirobumi, I am afraid that Rì'běn will not give up and will take the opportunity to stir up trouble. Cixi pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, cheap this Ito Hirobumi!" Rong Lu, just do it according to your opinion, you must guard the armed guards for me, there can be no chaos, this is the most powerful military force in the capital at present, once there is a deviation, we can ......" Rong Lu knelt on the ground and replied: "Lafayette, please rest assured, the slave will not fail in his mission!" ”
