"Mainly to seek murder? The sixth master is really generous! The Empress Dowager Cixi let out her signature sneer, and Prince Gong trembled and his knees weakened, and he knelt down. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Seeing Prince Gong kneeling, several ministers of military aircraft were also busy kneeling.

"Our minister of the Qing Dynasty, when he arrived on the ground of the foreigners, he was bombed, and he almost lost his life, and I heard that there were still dead people, so the prime minister's yamen solemnly negotiated with the foreigners?" Cixi said angrily, "The French only destroyed a few houses, and they still know that they want some compensation, and a group of ministers from the Prime Minister's Yamen can be generous, not a single child, just thinking about catching those thieves!" ”

"The Queen Mother is angry! Minister...... The minister is ineffective, and he begs the queen mother to punish him! Prince Gong bowed to the ground and said in a loud voice.

"This kind of thing, don't treat them heavily, give them a lesson, but blindly think about calming things down, don't you have to wait for the envoy to give his life in Taixi, and the prime minister's yamen is willing?" Cixi said angrily.

"The Queen Mother is angry! This...... It's not the meaning of the minister! Prince Gong's back was cold, and he was confused for a while.

"Not what you meant?" Cixi pointed at Prince Gong, who was prostrate on the ground, and asked sharply, "Then which idea is this 'no claim, mainly to claim the murderer?'" ”

"This ...... It is what Mao Changxi, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, and Dong Sui, the secretary of the Ministry of Households, said, which has not yet been agreed, but is only a rough charter, and they are about to respectfully ask for the Holy Judge......" Prince Gong said in a trembling voice.

"Respectfully, Holy Judge! Everything is respectfully requested by the Holy Judge, so what do you want to do with the Prime Minister and the Yamen Minister? The Empress Dowager Cixi said angrily, "The dignified envoy of the Qing Dynasty, that is traveling on behalf of the Son of Heaven!" Bombed, that's it? Do you still have the emperor in your eyes? ”

Hearing this cruel sentence, the ministers who were prostrate on the ground were not possessed by their souls, but just said again and again, "The queen mother is angry!" ”

Seeing that the Empress Dowager Cixi became more and more angry, the Empress Dowager Ci'an, who was sitting on the throne, coughed lightly.

Cixi realized her gaffe, she took a deep breath, calmed down, and flicked her sleeves back to her seat.

Cixi's eyes swept over the prostrate ministers on the ground, and it was easy to suppress the anger in her heart and say, "Since you want me to take this idea, okay! I'll make a charter! In addition to punishing the murderer, we must also apologize and compensate! We have to make Italy pay us money! Sympathize with the relatives of the deceased! Give those foreigners who don't know what to do and what to do have a long memory! Daqing is not easy to bully! If this matter cannot be negotiated, you will hand over the old man the fold yourself! ”

"Command!"

"Also, this murderer must be handed over to our Daqing to deal with!"

Hearing this, Prince Gong and several ministers trembled.

Arresting foreigners and returning to the Qing Dynasty to punish crimes, this is something that has never been done before!

Prince Gong raised his head unconsciously, and just wanted to say something, when he saw Cixi's arrow-like gaze shooting towards him, he immediately lowered his head again.

"That's it." The Empress Dowager Ci'an, who had not spoken, spoke up.

Although the Empress Dowager Ci'an's voice was not loud and she spoke softly, the important ministers below were all in their hearts.

The weight of Empress Dowager Ci'an's words is much heavier than that of Cixi.

"Command!"

It was easy to come out of the Qinzheng Palace, and Prince Gong found that the sweat had soaked all the underwear.

He took out his handkerchief and wiped the sweat beads on his forehead, and looked back, and several other ministers of military aircraft were also sweating like him, and they were all busy wiping their sweat there, obviously frightened.

"What's the matter with the Queen Mother today, she is so angry...... Wen Xiang looked at no one around, came to Prince Gong's side, and muttered in a low voice, "Isn......'t this garden already under repair?"

"Who knows which one provoked her again...... Prince Gong replied in a somewhat stupid whisper, "It's really ...... to see the fire of the heavens."

"It's no wonder that she is so angry, Lin Yizhe is the person that the Dharma Master values, and he wants to come back with the treasures last time. If he is really killed this time, he will really not be able to find someone who can replace him. If you can't get the treasure in this garden, it will be difficult to get it back. Wen Xiang thought about it and sighed, "The Queen Mother's mind is still on repairing the garden. ”

"What you're saying is that if you change someone else, I'm afraid she won't be so concerned." Prince Gong nodded, "Yes, let's go back and reconsider!" ”

Prince Gong came to the Prime Minister's Yamen and told the ministers of the Prime Minister's Yamen about the scene that had just been staged in the Qinzheng Palace, and asked everyone to put forward a specific plan for the "pursuit of the murderer and compensation".

As soon as Prince Gong's voice fell, Mao Changxi, the secretary of the ministry, and Dong Sui, the secretary of the household department, immediately objected.

"This is a must-have! The assassination of the envoy was due to France's negligence, and the judge's house was destroyed, so he insisted on claiming compensation. The envoys and retinue were unharmed, and they pursued the murderer Fu Fa Keye, so why should they ask for compensation? Mao Changxi said.

"Yes! The envoy is safe and sound, but he wants to ask for reparations from Italy, which is trapped in the power of the law, and I say this to his country at this time, it is obvious that he is taking advantage of the danger of others to commit blackmail, and if the news comes out, it will be laughed at by the world! Dong Sui said.

"France only destroyed a few houses, and then asked the righteous country to compensate, and my deputy envoy Hong Jun still had a servant killed, how can he not compensate?" Wen Xiang saw that Prince Gong's face was different, so he spoke.

"For a mere servant, it is not known whether he has a bad relationship with the big country of Taixi, or provokes, it is not only worthless, but also meaningless." Mao Changxi said, "The minister of the law this time is also a member of the ministry, even if there are casualties, he will not blindly investigate and not ask for compensation, which can show China's generosity." ”

"Exactly, I am dignified in the Heavenly Empire, in China, rich in things and people, and in everything, how can I follow the contempt of Jia in Yuli City and ask for silver from foreigners? This is a detrimental thing to the national body......"

"Shut up!" Hearing this, Prince Gong was rarely furious, and he actually stood up from his chair.

"The envoy of the Celestial Empire, in your eyes, has become a member of the micro end, as long as he goes to the ocean, he can live or die?" Prince Gong said angrily, "In the case of Tianjin Fengdaye, there is no official for the deceased, and the French country still wants to ask for a huge amount of compensation. ”

At this time, Prince Gong sprinkled all the anger he had just received from Cixi on Mao Changxi and Dong Sui, and for a while only Prince Gong's roar was left in the room.

Wen Xiang knew that the reason why Prince Gong was so angry this time was not only because of the reprimand he had just received from Cixi, but because of the kind of contempt and contempt for the Westernists in the bones of these pedantic and stubborn nerds and their own natural sense of superiority.

This time, the accident happened because it was the "ghost envoy" who stooped to the ghosts, and it was Mao Dong and the others who found all kinds of excuses to insist on calming things down, if the accident happened to the "righteous man" and "gentleman" in their eyes, it would be strange if the two of them did not cry and asked the court to go to war with the foreigners.

The attitude towards the "ghost envoy" is like this, and it goes without saying that Prince Gong, who is known as the "devil six", is treated.

"Pursuing the murderer and claiming compensation is the queen mother's holy decision! Wait, don't say much! Now we have to discuss this detailed charter! ”

Prince Gong's sentence "The Queen Mother's Holy Judgment" made Mao Changxi and Dong Sui close their mouths all of a sudden, unable to make a sound. The two glanced at each other, neither standing nor sitting, just sweating there.

"Since it has been decided to recover from the foreigners, let's set a number first." Shen Guifen, Minister of Military Aircraft, said, "In the case of Tianjin Wanghailou, the legal person claimed as much as 400,000 taels of silver from me, and after negotiation, it was reduced to 200,000 taels. This time, one of the servants died, and the claim was made according to 10,000 taels, that is. ”

"Ten thousand taels is too little, you can't do it." Prince Gong shook his head and said, "The queen mother's intention is to give foreigners a long memory, and not to fall into the national prestige of my Celestial Empire." The amount of the claim must be at least 100,000 taels. ”

"100,000 taels is too little." Seeing that Prince Gong actually opened his mouth, Wen Xiang simply added a weighing scale, "This time the envoy went to Taixi, but he was patrolling on behalf of the Son of Heaven, how can it be compared with ordinary envoys?" In my opinion, the amount of the claim should be set at 500,000 taels. ”

After listening to Wen Xiang's suggestion, the ministers of the Prime Minister's Yamen looked at each other one by one, and they were all speechless.

Mao Changxi and Dong Sui glanced at each other again, and each saw a look of surprise and disdain in each other's eyes.

Of course, they understood that the reason why Wen Xiang used the name of "patrolling on behalf of the Son of Heaven" to set a price of "500,000 taels" for the two envoys to France was nothing more than to raise the price of the Westerners!

"It's 500,000 taels." Prince Gong said in an indisputable tone.

Seeing Prince Gong's decision, the ministers were silent, and the amount of the claim was set. The ministers then began to discuss specific matters.

"These 500,000 taels are compensated to the imperial court, although the envoys survived this time, they were frightened a lot, and some servants were killed. Bao Jun suggested.

"That's a good idea." Wen Xiang was the first to agree, "If one of the envoys and servants is killed, the amount of compensation should be 10,000 taels of silver." ”

At this time, Wen Xiang inadvertently glanced at Mao Changxi and Dong Sui who were standing there, and couldn't help but feel very happy when he saw the irrepressible anger on their faces.

"Weng Tongxiao's Diary": "...... On the same day, Gongdi played the assassination of the envoy to pursue the murderer and claim compensation, and set the price of 500,000 taels of silver, and asked for 10,000 taels of silver for the envoy and servant. …… Mao and Dong Shangshu said in the general office that they could not complain about the two palaces, and they were demoted to the left squire. Yu and the gentlemen were very unhappy, and the book was a warning, and they were all fined for one month,...... The liver qi is hairy, and I can't sleep at night......"
