For all this, Cixi is actually a mirror in her heart. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

It's just that the dynasty has been in turmoil, internal and external troubles, and no more chaos can be tolerated, so the royal family pinched its nose and endured it.

After 30 years of recuperation, the Qing Dynasty's national strength finally recovered little by little, and 10 years ago, it even defeated the Western power France, causing their cabinet to fall.

Therefore, now the emperor wants to teach Xiao Dongyang a lesson, establish the majesty of the Qing Emperor externally, and take advantage of the situation to take over power.

Although Cixi was somewhat uncomfortable in her heart, and she did not agree with many of the emperor's actions, she still chose to remain silent for the sake of the Qing Dynasty's Jiangshan Sheji.

At that time, if you really find out the dead Zeng Guofan, and the current Li Hongzhang, it's a big deal that you come forward to protect these two heroes who have made great contributions to Yu Daqing, won't you get it?

As for the other people, who embezzled the silver of the court, they have been prosperous and rich for so many years, and at this time, even if they rob their families and ask for beheading, the royal family does not owe them anything!

As for the defeat of the Beiyang Naval Division and the loss of North Korea, although Cixi was also very angry in her heart, especially when next month was her birthday.

But there was no panic in her heart.

Don't say that the Beiyang Naval Division is defeated, even if all of them are defeated, aren't there still Fujian Naval Divisions, Nanyang Naval Divisions, and Guangdong Naval Divisions?

Besides, the sailor is the ship, and the ship is silver, as long as there is silver, it is not a problem how many Beiyang sailors are under construction.

And in the Qing Dynasty, the most important thing was silver.

As long as the homes of those 'heroes' are copied, in Cixi's opinion, even ten Beiyang sailors are enough.

As for the loss of North Korea, now that Xiao Dongyang is pressing the Yalu River again, Cixi still doesn't care very much.

In the broken place of the East, a North Korea can hold them to death, and now the soldiers are approaching the Yalu River, in Cixi's view, it is just a monkey trick of advancing and retreating.

Thinking of using this to bargain with the Qing Dynasty.

Even if it's a little more serious, even if Xiao Dongyang hits the Yalu River, so what?

Hundreds of thousands of square meters of Beishan Heishui in the northeast, more than 300 million people in the Qing Dynasty, can be dragged alive and subdued.

At that time, the Taiping army occupied half of China, and the Western countries invaded Beijing, but in the end it was not still peaceful.

At the end of the day, it's all about money.

And the Qing Dynasty happened to have no shortage of silver.

The most important thing now is to make way for the emperor to really take power, and everything else is not a problem at all!

"--Sigh that the hero lost his position and fell into the net, the general is also beautiful, my lord Hong Fuqi descended from the sky, and Liu Bowen's gossip is also common."

“？”

Cixi frowned slightly when she heard this, in "War Taiping", the original text of this singing sentence should be 'The general will inevitably die in battle', but Tan Xinpei changed the lyrics.

"This little one is called God;"

Cixi listened very well to her ears, and instructed the female officials beside her: "Look at the reward of five hundred taels of silver." ”

Jinmen, the Yamen of the Governor of Zhili, the outside of the house and the small garden.

Li Jingpu couldn't sleep well at night, got up early in the morning, sat in the pavilion of the lotus garden for a long time, looked at the lotus canopy full of lotus seeds in the pool, and felt melancholy.

That person, now there is another war in the Yalu River, take care!

This nerd, I don't know that there is a woman's heart that is concerned about him, right?

In the cool morning breeze of autumn, Li Jingpu rested his right elbow on the table in the pavilion, his palm dragging his slightly pointed chin, and he seemed to be crazy.

In the past few days, the solemn looks of the fathers and brothers have also deeply affected the entire governor's mansion, not only the subordinates who speak and do things in a low voice and are cautious, but also their own sisters and sisters-in-law, who speak with a good face and rarely smile.

I really don't know when this battle will be the end?

It's really infuriating!

After sitting in the pavilion for a while, Li Jingpu stood up abruptly, wandered along the path in the garden, wandering aimlessly, and when he looked up, he found that he had actually walked outside the door of the signing room.

Seeing the second lady walking gracefully to the outside of the signing room, the Goshha of the governor's mansion on duty in the courtyard all stood at their respective posts in the courtyard without squinting and standing tall and without squeaking.

There were two bold ones, and they secretly used the corner of their eyes to look at the second lady's personal maid Liu'er.

This little girl is not only beautiful and charming, graceful as a willow, and her little buttocks make people itch when they look at it, but also have a well-behaved and cute personality, which is very admired by some unmarried men in the yard.

Li Jingpu squeezed out a smile on her face, and was just about to enter the house to say hello to her father, when suddenly a sentence came out of the house, which made her steps stop suddenly, and the smile on her face froze.

"I see that I am about to fall, and what are you doing about it; Speaking out, if He Changying agrees, what will the court think of him, to him? After this battle, he fought well, and was sent to a remote border in southern Xinjiang, where he spent his whole life in fear, which not only ruined him, but also made Pu'er worry and suffer; What if it is defeated? ”

Li Hongzhang said coldly: "Ye Zhichao, what is Wei Rugui, you haven't seen it!" ”

Outside the door, the sound was like thunder exploding in his ears, shaking Li Jingpu to stagger.

Her steps were as heavy as a mountain, and her heart was convulsing and she couldn't breathe.

Streams of hot blood surged up on Li Jingpu Juan's pretty face, and her small hands tightly held Liu Er's thin arm, as if she was suppressed by a nightmare, completely losing control of her body.

And Liu Er's little face also became white, her eyes were full of shock, and her small body bones trembled slightly like a soft willow in the wind.

"What I said is still good, it is He Changying, this kid is affectionate, only grateful; If he refuses, my old face doesn't matter, but what will Pu'er do in the future, won't our Li family turn against him in the future? Ever since your mother-in-law had her back, there was no one in this house who could really have that idea, and I was an old fool about it; Thankfully, I didn't mention it, and I won't mention it again. ”

After saying these words, Li Hongzhang was full of physical and mental exhaustion, and sighed faintly: "If this kid He Changying goes smoothly, no matter how smart he is about current affairs, he will have a bright future in the future!" ”

"Don't mention this, he still has a friendship with our Li family, and he is also a person who knows how to repay his kindness; I can't see it, but it's still helpful to you, as well as Guojie's generation. ”

Zhang Peilun's old face was distorted when he heard this, and he said with difficulty: "But the matter of the second sister, the entire Governor's Mansion has guessed it, and it will always be exposed in the future. And the chrysanthemum root said that the second sister also seems to be to this He Changying—"

The following words were too abrupt, so Zhang Peilun didn't say any more, but the meaning in it was self-evident.

"It's all fate, I owe her."

Li Hongzhang closed his eyes and stopped talking.

At this time, he was so tired, physically and mentally exhausted, and just wanted to leave everything behind.

From then on, drinking tea, playing chess, reading, fishing.

Be an old man waiting for death.

Regardless of the wind and clouds outside!
