Yang'en Palace, where Cixi now lives, where it is less than three kilometers away from Longquanyi, is a pension place specially ordered by Cixi to build. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

It seems that they are discussing this matter, and Zhang Zhidong, who heard Songpan finish speaking, made a judgment, and then saw that there was no one left and right, so he asked in a low voice: "What's the situation over there in Baoji?" “

Baoji, Songpan who heard this was startled, and then stood up, Songpan in front of the corridor window looked left and right a few times, and after finding that there was no one, he whispered in front of Zhang Zhidong in the corridor: "The latest news, Liu Jun has arrived in Baoji yesterday afternoon." ”

Liu Jun came, and Zhang Zhidong, who heard this, actually showed a smile, he knew that Liu Jun came to Baoji this time. It must have come for the affairs of the imperial court.

"What are you laughing at, do you see something?" Seeing Zhang Zhidong smiling, Songpan asked in a low voice.

"What, what do I think, don't you know?"

This, hearing Zhang Zhidong say this, Song Pan smiled slightly, he felt the same as Zhang Zhidong, that is, Japan has perished, and Liu Jun has freed his hands. I'm ready to do it to the court.

The imperial court was bound to fail, this was the first reaction of the two.

"Look at it, this is a letter sent to me by Li Hongzhang's old thing." Pointing to the letter on the table, Zhang Zhidong said to Songpan.

Song Pan had actually received a letter from Liaodong a long time ago, but for a long time, he had been thinking about how to do it.

"What do you think we should do now?" Looking at Zhang Zhidong, who was drinking tea in front of him, Song Pan asked lightly.

What to do, what can I do now? Zhang Zhidong took a deep breath, and now he was also confused.

There was a squeak, and the sound of the door being pushed open outside sounded, and Zhang Zhidong, who heard the sound, hurriedly put the letter on the table into the drawer, and then raised his head, the person who came in was actually his housekeeper, and behind him, there was also a person, this person Zhang Zhidong knew too well, it was actually Li Lianying, Li Lianying and these people have been following Cixi all the time. When I suddenly came here today, I must have let myself enter the palace to discuss the issues raised by Zaitao at today's court meeting.

Well, take this opportunity to tell the meaning of Liaodong, and then let Cixi decide.

"Master, someone is coming to the palace, let the master go to Yang'en Hall immediately." The butler said as he came in.

It seems that he guessed this matter correctly, hearing what the housekeeper said, Zhang Zhidong nodded, and then looked at Songpan: "I'll come when I go, and I'll talk about it at my house tonight."

In the Yangen Palace, Cixi, who was already old, sat on the dragon chair reluctantly, looking at the princes below in a daze.

Now she misses someone very much, this person is Yi?, but now, Yi? It's been six years since I left.

There was no one in the court, or rather, there was no one in the court.

A few days of court meeting, although Cixi did not participate, but for the previous things, he understood very clearly, that is, Zaitao proposed, and the British united matter, which moved her heart, to be honest, Cixi is a person who understands, he knows, after Japan settles, who is the next target in Liaodong.

"Lafayette, Zhang Zhongtang has arrived." Cixi, who had been closing her eyes and being silent, suddenly opened her eyes when she heard Zhang Zhidong coming, and sure enough, Zhang Zhidong's figure had already appeared outside the main hall.

"Give Zhang Zhongtang a seat." After speaking softly, Cixi adjusted her sitting posture and then waited for Zhang Zhidong.

Because of old age, Zhang Zhidong is qualified not to visit Cixi, after sitting down, Zhang Zhidong got the reason for letting him come from Cixi, and he thought the same, he came because of the thing that Zaitao said at the court meeting today, uniting with Britain and giving up Tibet.

"Zhongtang, you tell the mourning family, should we do this?" Seeing where Zhang Zhidong was pondering, Cixi waited for a long time before asking slowly.

"Rong Laochen bluntly said that Zaitao should be killed." The words made all the people present startled, and Zaitao widened his eyes even more, and he didn't believe that Zhang Zhidong would actually say that he should be beheaded.

"How?" Although Cixi was a little frightened, she didn't show it, but asked slowly.

"Lafayette, I have been talking to Liu Jun for so many years, what kind of person he is, I think everyone knows that it is not me who will grow up others and destroy my own prestige. We all know the strength of the imperial court, and we also know the strength of Liaodong, of course, Zaitao is also for the imperial court, and wants to use the power of the British to confront Liaodong. But don't forget, what Liu Jun hates most is this kind of person who lures wolves into the house, if he knows all this, I'm afraid that in less than three days, hundreds of thousands of Liaodong troops near us will attack at the same time, and then ......."

Hiss....... The people present immediately gasped when they heard Zhang Zhidong's words, they just thought of the benefits of bringing the British in, but they didn't realize at all that the British had come in, but Liaodong, would they give themselves this opportunity, when the time came, it is estimated that the British have not yet come to Chengdu, and Chengdu has already fallen.

"What do you mean?" Cixi asked with a deep breath.

"The old minister bluntly said that the top priority is to negotiate with the Liaodong Army to see if we can guarantee half of the rivers and mountains of our Qing Dynasty."

That's all I can say. As for how the negotiations with Liaodong will proceed in the future, Zhang Zhidong will no longer manage it, after all, what he should say has already been conveyed to Liaodong.

"You go down, the mourning family should think about it." After listening to Zhang Zhidong's words, Cixi no longer had any hope for the princes below, but signaled everyone to leave. She was to be quiet for a while, and then gave the order. “

Zhang Zhidong is no exception, he was also driven out by Cixi and returned from Yang'en Palace. Zhang Zhidong did not return to the military plane, but returned directly to his mansion.

As soon as he entered the mansion, he saw Songpan already waiting at home.

"How?" When Zhang Zhidong walked in, Songpan stepped forward and asked.

"I have already conveyed the matter of negotiating with Liaodong, as for how the imperial court will deal with it in the future, then I have nothing to do."

Hey, resigned to fate, if the court can agree to negotiate this time and resolve this matter peacefully, then it will be a happy thing for the court and the people, of course, if the court can't let go, life and death will be high, then waiting for the court will be a catastrophe, at that time, the court is the next Japan, and than Japan, much more tragic.
