"What? "Dian Shi Zhai Pictorial"? Mao Changxi couldn't help but be stunned. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Master Mao hasn't even heard of "Dianshizhai Pictorial"? Hehe, too, you are always an important minister of the imperial court, and you are doing military affairs, how can you have the leisure to watch these. The cell boss said, and sent a stack of "Dianshizhai Pictorial" in his hand to Mao Changxi's hand, "Take a good look at it!" The painting written on it is clear! ”

"Show me a few!" Without waiting for Mao Changxi to answer, Dong Sui suddenly screamed eagerly and stretched out his hand from the prison door.

"Great!" As he spoke, the cell leader took out a few pictorials from Mao Changxi's hand and stuffed them into Dong Sui's hand.

Dong Sui nervously snatched the pictorial and couldn't wait to look at it.

"Don't break it! I'm going to keep it for my wife and children! The cell boss saw Dong Sui's stiff movements, and said with some dissatisfaction.

Dong Sui turned a deaf ear to the cell boss's words, and his eyes were fixed on the pictorial.

The title of this pictorial is "The Great Defeat of the Japanese Soldiers," and the picture shows a large group of Japanese soldiers fleeing into the mountains and forests, the Chinese soldiers holding rifles with bayonets in their backs shouting and chasing after them, on a hillside, several Chinese gunners are manipulating a cannon to shoot at the Japanese troops, and on the sea, there are several steam warships with black smoke emitting chimneys shelling each other, the Chinese warships flying the dragon flag appear very tall and mighty, the muzzles of the cannons are spewing fire, and the Japanese warships flying the sun flag are tilted, the smoke is billowing on the deck, the flames are rising, and the defeat is fully revealed. In the blank space of the screen, there is also a large text description.

Dong Sui took a pictorial and read it, the title of the picture on this pictorial is called "The Chieftain of the Japanese Chieftain", the picture shows the scene of the Chinese army and the Japanese army fighting in the jungle, the warring sides shoot each other with rifles, everywhere is the smoke of gunpowder and the figure of fierce battle, in the middle of the picture, a Japanese general wearing a Western-style military uniform has been shot and fell to the ground, he strokes the bleeding chest with one hand, holds a pistol in the other, and there are two Japanese soldiers with rifles and a Japanese samurai with a long knife beside him, Opposite them, several Chinese soldiers were shooting with rifles, and several Chinese soldiers, some with machetes in their hands and some with spears in their hands, were lunging at them, as if to cut off the Japanese general's head. The whole picture is vividly painted in white strokes, and the scene of fierce battles is about to come out, making people feel like they are seeing the battlefield.

The third picture Dong Sui looked at was called "The Triumph of the Sailor". On the screen, a number of Chinese warships are flying dragon flags, slowly sailing into the port, next to the Chinese warship, there is also a huge warship with a white flag, the painter next to this warship with a small character "captured Japanese warship Long Xiang", indicating that this is a Japanese warship captured by the Chinese sailors. On the shore and in the harbor, crowds of people beat gongs and drums, dance dragon lanterns, and set off firecrackers to celebrate the triumphant return of the sailors. In the blank space in the painting, there is an explanatory text depicting the capture of the Japanese warship by the master of the ship and the entry into the port of Fuzhou.

Seeing the content of the "Dianshizhai Pictorial", which was all describing the scene of China's great victory in the Battle of Taiwan, Dong Sui's heart sank suddenly.

He raised his eyes to look at the cell opposite, and saw Mao Changxi sitting on the ground with a depressed face, and the pictorial in his hand also slipped down.

"Xu Chu ......" Dong Sui looked at Mao Changxi and called him in a hoarse voice.

"It's over...... Mao Changxi raised his head and looked at Dong Sui with a distracted gaze, "It's all over...... No way......"

Seeing Mao Changxi's dejected appearance, Dong Sui couldn't help but cry bitterly.

The cell boss saw that Mao Dong and the others had become like this after reading a few pages of pictorials, and his eyes were full of surprise, and he couldn't understand why this was at all. He didn't want to cause trouble for himself, so he didn't ask too much, but stepped forward to put away all the pictorials, put them in his arms, then looked around, and hurriedly left.

"Xuchu, really...... Can't help it? Dong Sui asked crying.

"I can't help it...... If my division fails, the court needs people to negotiate peace, and they will use us and others, and now we have won a great victory on land and sea, even if there are people in the court who speak for you and me, the emperor is afraid that he will not spare me and others...... Death or death, that's all......" Mao Changxi said, also shedding tears.

At this time, Mao Changxi and Dong Sui were crying bitterly, they didn't know that they were already crumbling camels at this time, and the last crushing straw on their backs was still a clear stream!

"Weng Tongxiao's Diary": "Today's decree, Lin Yizhe was awarded the title of first-class baron, and his concubine was given the title of second grade, and his aunt Lin Puqing was awarded a first-grade decree with a good way to teach her son, and a plaque was given to Shen Baozhen's family, which can be described as extremely honorable...... Huang Tifang, the editor of the Hanlin Academy, asked for the release of Mao Dong, but he was angry, and demoted Huang Tifang to one level and fined him for one year. …… The battle of the Taiwan Strait is said to have started because Mao Dong and the two of them were speechless for a while, and the rest was very unfair, the Japanese people were cunning, and they wanted to fight on the platform for a long time. ”

“…… Entered the office at noon, heard the cabinet bachelor Song Gong Xifan (Song Jin) Xu, was surprised, Gai Song Fair Day is known as healthy, although he is old, he has not heard of illness, why did he ignore it? Inquire carefully, it is because of yesterday's edict of Lin Yizhe and his deceased concubine, Song Gong saw in the Di Bao, was shocked and angry, and even vomited blood and died, covering the Song Dynasty at the beginning of the impeachment of Lin Nafan's concubine...... The DPRK and China have been ministers because of Lin Yizhe, sadly! Alas! ”

The Forbidden City, the Palace of Diligent Government.

Emperor Tongzhi on the throne looked at Xu Tong, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, who was crying on the ground, and was a little annoyed in his heart, and turned back and unconsciously glanced at his mother, the Empress Dowager Cixi and the Empress Dowager Ci'an, with a hint of asking for help in his eyes.

The expression on his mother's face was still very majestic, and when she saw his gaze, she only nodded slightly.

Emperor Tongzhi made up his mind slightly, and quickly turned his head, he originally planned to go to Linxing to say a few promises after greeting his mother today, first according to the fragrant and beautiful "Heavenly Demon Map" that Wang Qingqi entered, and then said that the queen and Concubine Hui and Concubine Yu came over together at night to "rejoice" once, but he didn't expect Xu Tong's sudden audience to be disturbed.

And Xu Tong cried loudly as soon as they met, as if he had a great grievance, which made him feel extremely bad, but he couldn't say anything.

Xu Tong's character Yinxuan is a native of the Blue Banner of the Han Army, and Shang Shuze is mellow. Daoguang was a scholar for 30 years, and then he was selected as a scholar and awarded the Hanlin Academy for editing. He was dismissed for revising his exam papers. Xianfeng ten years, special appreciation review, co-revision of the Wenzong record. In the early years of Tongzhi, the Empress Dowager Cixi ordered him to walk in the upper study and explain the "Treasure of Peace" to Emperor Tongzhi. He has successively invited "Xi political affairs, diligent cultivation of the province, becoming a university, and deriving the meaning of the body" to advance, and then wrote that "reading outsiders gather in Beijing, and it is difficult to discuss peace, and it is advisable to cultivate and try to improve themselves", because the four strategies of "simplifying talents, forming people's hearts, supporting the margins, and repairing the borders" are actually some general empty theories, but he has a prosperous official fortune, and he has been promoted to the Ministry of Rites.

Xu Tong studied under the Song and Jin dynasties, and he also lectured on science, but he was not as well-read as Li Hongzao, the leader of science. In fact, his knowledge is very limited, and he never leaves his hand every day, which is the "Taishang Induction Chapter" that is disdained by the literate. In the autumn of one year, the new imperial examination was re-examined, Xu Tong was ordered to prepare the question, and the poem title of the test post poem was: "School Science Secret", and the word "secret" was written next to the word "clothes", which became a white character, and more than 200 candidates did not know what to do. His learning is so poor, and it can be said that it is a joke for him to lecture on science, so he is not very regarded by Shilin; After the Empress Dowager Cixi found out that he was not very knowledgeable, she also wanted to withdraw his "study" several times, just because he was not young, and he had been a poor person for so long, and he had no merit and hard work, so he was embarrassed to make an order. But this is not embarrassing, in fact, it is equivalent to adding another bad master to Emperor Tongzhi.

Xu Tong is poor in learning, but he is famous for being "conservative and hateful", and is one of the most stubborn characters in Qingliu. Because his family lives in Dongjiaomin Lane, which is close to the embassies of various countries, he posted a sign at the gate "Wangyang sighs; and ghosts as neighbors" to express their hatred of foreigners. After the start of the Westernization Movement, he was also very resistant to Westernization, at that time the study of Westernization had formed a trend among some enlightened officials, and Xu Tong still closed his eyes and ears, unwilling to hear, but insisted that he was erudite and knew everything in all countries in the world. Someone could not see it, so he sent him into an army and asked him about the national conditions and customs of Spain and Portugal, and he knew nothing about these two maritime powers located on the Iberian Peninsula, and could not answer at all. After it came out, it became a joke again.

Seeing that this rotten master was crying in front of him today, Emperor Tongzhi was disgusted, but he had to pretend to be kind and pleasant on his face and call him "Master Xu".

"Master Xu is flat." Emperor Tongzhi said patiently.

After listening to the emperor's words, Xu Tong did not get up, but fell there and cried even more. Seeing this, Li Lianying stepped forward and stretched out her hand to help him up, but was stubbornly pushed away by him.

Li Lianying was annoyed, but he was still silent on the surface, he turned his head slightly and glanced at Liu Chengyin, Liu Chengyin shook his head slightly with an almost imperceptible movement, and Li Lianying quickly retreated.

"Master Xu, why are you so sad?" When the Empress Dowager Cixi saw this scene, her brows habitually furrowed.

Xu Tong was still there kneeling and crying, neither answering nor getting up.

The Empress Dowager Cixi was angry in her heart, and after waiting for a while, she didn't see Xu Tong get up, and the Empress Dowager Cixi finally couldn't help but explode.

"Master Xu, what are you crying about? Are you crying for the living or the dead? Empress Dowager Cixi's tone was still very calm, but it made people feel chilled.

"Back to ...... The words of the Queen Mother...... Minister...... 's teacher, Song Gong Xifan...... Dead ......," Xu Tong said sobbing with his face covered.

"Oh? Master Song died? Hearing Xu Tong tell the news of Song Jin's death, the Empress Dowager Cixi's brows furrowed even tighter, and her face turned a little blue.

"When?" The Empress Dowager Cixi temporarily suppressed the unhappiness in her heart and asked again.

"Back to the Queen Mother, the teacher went this morning......" Xu Tong wept.

"Isn't Master Song still good yesterday? Why did you die early this morning? Emperor Tongzhi asked. He also saw Song Jin in the morning yesterday, and Song Jin at that time just stood in the court column without saying a word for a long time, and did not see any illness.

"If you go back to the emperor, the minister's mentor is for that Lin Yizhe...... Killed ......," Xu Tong said sadly.

Hearing Xu Tong's answer, not only the Empress Dowager Cixi and Emperor Tongzhi were surprised, but even the Empress Dowager Ci'an was taken aback.

"Master Xu, what do you say?" Tongzhi Emperor Huo Ran got up and asked in surprise, "How do you know that Lin Yizhe harmed Master Song?" ”

"If you go back to the emperor, the minister's mentor is to read today's edict of Lin Yizhe and his deceased concubine, and he was angry for a while, beating his chest and vomiting blood, and he couldn't be rescued, so he went......" Xu Tong said with a sad and indignant face, kowtowed, "The minister asks the queen mother and the emperor to be the master of the minister!" ”

Hearing Xu Tong's answer, Emperor Tongzhi was angry and funny, turned around and sat down again.

"Master Xu, how can you say that Master Song was killed by Lin Yizhe? Scared me! Emperor Tongzhi's voice was obviously dissatisfied, "Master Song is dead, what is the relationship with Lin Yizhe?" ”

"Your Majesty! The minister's mentor was killed by Lin Yizhe! That Lin Yizhe did not abide by the defense of Yixia, did not follow the way of the sage, and took the girl as a concubine, and the teacher had repeatedly written to rectify the impeachment, and asked the court to issue an edict to order him to leave the concubine, but he did not obey! Speak wildly! Secretly slander the teacher! The teacher is extremely angry, and he becomes ill! Xu Tong raised his head and said loudly, "And this time, the emperor actually issued an order to give Lin Yizhe a first-class baron, glorify the court, and give that concubine a second-class title, under the sudden sight of the teacher, where can he bear it?" That's it! This is not what Lin Yizhe killed with a fake hand, what is it? ”

"You...... What are you talking about? ...... "Emperor Tongzhi was angry for a while.

"The minister implores the Empress Dowager, the emperor, to be the master of the minister's mentor......" Xu Tong bowed again, but before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the cold voice of the Empress Dowager Ci'an.

"How do you want us to be this master?" There was a rare hint of anger in the voice of the Empress Dowager Ci'an.

"Minister...... I implore the Empress Dowager to retract the will of rewarding Lin Yizhe! Xu Tong cried.

"Xu Tong! How daring! Empress Dowager Cixi Huo Ran got up from the throne, pointed at Xu Tong with her halberd, and shouted sharply.

It was like a thunderbolt in his ear, Xu Tong's head "buzzed", and he was so frightened that he hurriedly put his head on the ground and fell to the ground.

"Revoke the Grace?!" The Empress Dowager Cixi looked at Xu Tong, who was trembling and kneeling there, with a pair of phoenix eyes raging with anger, "Xu Tong! Do you want the emperor to tell the world that your master was killed by our sister?! ”

"Minions don't dare, minions don't dare!" As soon as he heard this, Xu Tong suddenly lost his soul, kowtowing like pounding garlic, "The slave will never dare!" ”

Seeing Xu Tong's stupid appearance of banging his head on the mountain, Emperor Tongzhi was secretly amused in his heart, he forcibly held back the twitching of the muscles on his face, turned his head to look at his mother and the Empress Dowager Ci'an, and saw the two of them look at each other, and nodded at himself in unison.

"Xu Tong! Are you guilty? Emperor Tongzhi turned his head to look at Xu Tong and asked loudly.

Hearing that the Empress Dowager and the emperor all called themselves by their real names, and no longer called themselves "master", Xu Tong knew that something was wrong, he heard the emperor ask him if he was guilty, and he wanted to defend the death of his mentor Song Jin again, but he didn't know how to be weak in his heart, and as a result, the idea of protecting his life and protecting the official prevailed for a while, so he hurriedly responded; "Minister...... Convicted! ”

"You don't have a king, you should have been punished heavily, I miss you old and confused......" Thinking that Xu Tong is only fifty-four years old, and there are ministers who are older than him in the court, and there are no absurd words like him, Emperor Tongzhi wants to laugh even more, he looked back at his mother again, and said, "Don't be severely punished, you have to go to the study, this will be spared!" Another year of fine, downgrading two levels of calling! ”

"Minister...... Shane! Xu Tong replied in a trembling voice.

"Talk later, think about it! If you dare to do this next time, you will be cut off by yourself! Emperor Tongzhi threw away a cruel word, which made Xu Tong tremble.

"We're tired, so we'll stop." The Empress Dowager Ci'an glared angrily at Xu Tong, who was still kneeling there, and stood up with the Empress Dowager Cixi, Liu Chengyin and Li Lianying hurriedly stepped forward, held their hands respectively, and carried them down the golden steps.

"I'm tired too, you can step down!" Emperor Tongzhi glanced at Xu Tong, a subtle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he didn't wait for Xu Tong to answer, so he went by himself.

After a flurry of eunuchs and palace maids' footsteps passed, the hall fell silent.

I don't know how long it took, Xu Tong raised his head that had broken his forehead and was a little dizzy, and looked around, the emperor and the queen mother had disappeared, only a few eunuchs in the hall were standing there, looking at him with a shameful smile.

Xu Tong was angry in his heart, he wanted to stand up, but because he had been kneeling for a long time, a pair of calves were numb, he tried twice, but he couldn't stand up, and he couldn't help but secretly regret that the emperor didn't get up in time when he called himself flat.

At this time, several eunuchs in the main hall looked at themselves as if they were watching a joke, and none of them had any intention of coming over to help themselves, which made Xu Tong even more annoyed.

may be afraid that he will stay here and not leave, after a while, the two little eunuchs stepped forward slowly, grabbed Xu Tong's arm left and right, and helped him up, and Xu Tong this time, he did not have the backbone to refuse Li Lianying's support just now, and accepted the help of these people whom he had always regarded as "cheap" and "emasculated".

Lin Yizhe...... I don't share the sky with you! If I don't take revenge for killing the teacher, I swear not to be a man! Xu Tong gritted his teeth and said secretly. He didn't dare to hate the emperor and the queen mother, so he could only vent his anger on Lin Yizhe.
