Sure enough, it did not disappoint Cixi. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Only five or six days later, Prince Gong Yixin invited Guo Ye over.

When he came to the Prime Minister's National Affairs Yamen, Guo Ye smiled and said, "Lord Wang, why did you have to invite me over today?" ”

"Less nonsense! I also want to ask you, you are still the minister of the prime minister's affairs, have you come to pay tribute for a day? Shall I invite you? Don't you know how to come to the public? ”

Guo Ye patted his head, I dripped, I forgot about this matter, I gave myself such an errand at the beginning, but because I was running around, where did I take it for a few days in Beijing? Until now, it is strange that the imperial court has not been exempted from his errands.

"Hehe, Lord Wang, I thought this errand had already been handed over, but you should tell me, from the first time I entered Beijing to the present, it has only been four or five years, how many errands have been given to me, and how many errands have I been exempted? Where do I remember coming over? Just say, what's the matter, it's okay, you definitely won't invite me here. ”

"Hmph, it's good that you know, you're a broom star, where you go and where you are unlucky, of course no one wants to invite you, look, this is a diplomatic note from the U.S. Minister to China, Ruohan Warren, tell me, what's going on?"

Guo Ye took the note and looked at it carefully.

"Invite the Empress Dowager, the Emperor, or the King of the Legislature to the United States to participate in the commemoration of the victory of the American Civil War? What kind of fame do the Yankees? ”

Guo Ye muttered.

"Less garlic there! If you don't know anything about this matter, you don't know anything, and Lao Tzu won't believe in Aixin Jueluo in the future! ”

Yixin said angrily, "You give me an honest explanation, what kind of tricks are you going to play?" These Americans have the closest relationship with you, and usually Hua Ruohan nods when he sees you, and when he sees me, he holds his head high and looks at me with his nostrils! How could he have the kind heart to suddenly invite the Qing royal family to the United States to see the grand ceremony? ”

Guo Ye smiled and said: "Yes, Lord Wang, I know a little about this matter, but I don't do anything, think about it, I'm just a prince, where can I get the decision of the American royal family?" This is the personal invitation of the president, do I have that qualification? It's a bit reliable for me to influence your decision-making, Yankee, where is it possible? ”

"Then tell me, what is a little bit of knowledge? What exactly does American mean? ”

"It's very simple, Lord Wang, you should know that I spent most of my time in the United States last year, helping the United States Federation to build the Sixth Army and help them fight the civil war, more than one-third of the elite combat strength of the Southern American rebels was defeated by me, and one-third of the elite combat power was defeated by Chen Hai, that kid. It can be said that the American Federation was able to win the Civil War, and our buddies made great achievements, and now that the Civil War is won, they are important to express, right? ”

"Sign? Then invite the two queen mothers, the king, and even the emperor to the United States? Monkey business! Even if they want to say it, they want their president to come to China for worship! ”

Guo Ye's face darkened, wiped it, and after talking for a long time, Yixin still felt that his face couldn't be hung up......

"Lord Wang, you have been in charge of the Prime Minister's Affairs Yamen for a few years, so you don't even understand these things, right? Some countries will even take the initiative to visit each other in order to negotiate cooperation between the two countries, not to mention that this is personally invited by the president of the United States, which is the highest etiquette between countries, and the two queen mothers or the emperor have arrived in the United States, and the Americans should come up with the highest etiquette to receive them, including the president personally greeting them, firing salutes, and holding a grand state banquet......

Yixin's face turned red, and he snorted: "Nonsense, where did Lao Tzu know these details?" The Prime Minister's Affairs Yamen is simply a bunch of waste, and Bochuan can be used, where are the other talents? ”

Guo Ye said in a low voice: "Lord Wang, Hua Ruohan has revealed similar intentions to me before, I thought he was just joking, who knew that he would come for real, this is definitely a good thing!" ”

"A good thing?"

"That's right! Lord Wang, you may not know that now the Western powers such as Britain, France, Prussia and Austria are plundering everywhere and oppressing other weak countries, and the United States has also suffered from it, this civil war, the reason why it is so difficult is because England and France are secretly making trouble, and now the United States invites us to go over, that is, to form an alliance with us and jointly fight against the Western powers, we have suffered two consecutive invasions from Britain and France, and Tsarist Russia has also invaded repeatedly, it is when we need help, take this opportunity, We can just talk to them and establish an alliance between the two countries, don't you think? ”

"That's ......"

Yixin is very tempted by the alliance, after all, in the face of the invasion of Britain and France, Russia is eyeing it, Yixin said that he is not worried, it is false, if he can form a strong reinforcement now, why not?

"It's just, which of us is more appropriate to go to America?"

"The emperor is still young, and it is definitely inappropriate to visit at this time."

Guo Ye replied, "And the prince, your visit is also slightly inconsistent, after all, the most invited thing is orthodoxy, and the most important thing is that as a regent, you are far away from the country, once there is a change, but it is too late to deal with it, it will take at least two or three months to travel to and from the United States once......

"Well, then you mean that the two queen mothers have set off? It's just that the Queen Mother has many restrictions when she leaves the palace, and now she wants to let them go abroad, how can this work? ”

Guo Ye said in a deep voice: "Lord Wang, if you really want to prosper the Qing Dynasty, it is absolutely impossible not to show a little courage for change, just because the two queen mothers are women, they can't go abroad?" What is the reason for this, in England, the king and queen of the people, can go out of the palace at any time, go to the restaurant, enter the factory, and observe the people's feelings, do you think about whether it is better for you to go, or the two queen mothers? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! ”

Yi Xin pinched his teeth, he really didn't want to give up such an opportunity, but if he really let the two queen queens go abroad, then the government and the opposition must not mess up? Those old-fashioned bigwigs will definitely make a lot of noise!

It's just that now that the emperor is young, what can he do? You can't let a child go, can you? That's child's play. Even if the queen mother goes, it involves the treaty between the two countries, it is very tricky, how can a woman's family know so much?

"Guo Ye, are you sure there is no problem? Don't set yourself on fire, if something goes wrong, you know the consequences. ”

"Don't worry, I naturally have a lot of ...... in my heart"
