The kowtow was mixed with the voice of a terrified bull duck: "Slave damn!" Damn the minions! It's just that Gonggong Li has just come over and is waiting to see him outside the Heart Cultivation Palace......"

Li Lianying is here?

Emperor Tongzhi immediately turned his head and glanced at Weng Tongyi. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Both the master and apprentice read a deep sense of confusion and alertness in each other's eyes.

"Here we ...... again" Thinking that Li Lianying might have come to find him on the order of her mother, Emperor Tongzhi couldn't help but feel anxious in his heart.

Since the last time I had a nosebleed due to excessive sex, my mother's eyeliner can be said to be everywhere.

I was still thinking about Emperor Tongzhi, who was experimenting with Empress Huifei on "Double Flying" tonight, and knew that this time I went to see my mother, but I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to come back if I didn't have time.

Thinking of the wave shown by Concubine Hui last time when he tested the "incense towel" that Zai Cheng concocted on Concubine Hui, he couldn't help but become hot and hard again.

"Tell him to wait!" Emperor Tongzhi replied a little angrily.

Seeing that Emperor Tongzhi actually ate a cold bench for the eunuchs sent by the Queen Mother in order to talk to him, Weng Tongji was overjoyed in his heart, and immediately seized the time to continue to speak to Emperor Tongzhi.

"Your Majesty, although the Japanese people deliberately invaded Taiwan this time, Lin Yizhe has made meritorious contributions to chasing the Japanese, but as a Fujian Fu, Lin Yizhe will not be able to escape his responsibility for the loss of Peng and Xia......

"What do you mean, teacher?" Emperor Tongzhi frowned and asked.

"Whether Liu Xuan's crime is true or not needs to be investigated in detail......"

Before Weng Tongyi finished speaking, he was rudely interrupted by Emperor Tongzhi, "Liu Xuan deserves to be punished for his crimes, I have made up my mind, the teacher doesn't need to say much, the teacher should talk about Lin Yizhe!" ”

Weng Tongzhi made Emperor Tongzhi breathless, he was stunned for a moment, and then came back to his senses, and then said: "Although Lin Yizhe has meritorious contributions in this battle to chase the Japanese, it is also a crime to prevent the enemy from entering, and it is not appropriate to praise it too much, and the merits and crimes can be offset by each other." ”

"Lin Yizhe has won a big battle this time, and he is famous at home and abroad, even if he has a small mistake, it is difficult to hide his achievements." Emperor Tongzhi said in an irrefutable tone, "If you want to say that the prevention is not effective, it is not his sin, he has only been a Minfu for a few days?" Wang Kaitai's excerpt of asking for punishment, as well as Liu Xuan's excerpt of slandering Lin Yizhe, Master Weng has not seen it. Besides, if you are punished with merit and crime, how can you serve the hearts of the former enemy's sea and land soldiers? This is not possible! ”

Weng Tongzhi wanted to say more, but Emperor Tongzhi waved his hand and said: "I was originally worried that this war disaster would be connected to the Japanese people, and it would be difficult for the Japanese people to get rid of it for a while, so I missed the project of procuring Tainan. This time, it only took Lin Yizhe more than two months to sweep it up, and the queen mother was a great achievement! Don't worry about the rest! ”

Hearing Emperor Tongzhi say this, Weng Tongyi was dumbfounded for a while, and he couldn't say a word.

He finally understood now why the Empress Dowager of the Two Palaces and the Emperor Tongzhi defended Lin Yizhe so much!

"Alright, that's it! The teacher doesn't have to say much. Emperor Tongzhi said, "I'm going to say hello to the emperor's mother, so the teacher will kneel down." ”

Weng Tong only retired. Seeing Weng Tongyi retreat, Emperor Tongzhi breathed a long sigh of relief.

"What an old fool! Nothing but delays! ”

Emperor Tongzhi greatly despised the teacher in his heart, and ordered Li Lianying to enter the palace.

Soon, Li Lianying entered the palace and saluted Emperor Tongzhi.

"Li Anda, it's not time to say hello to the emperor's mother, why did you come over?" Emperor Tongzhi asked while asking the eunuch maid to come forward to change his clothes.

"If you go back to the emperor, the two Lafayettes are now enjoying the flowers in the 'Heaven and Earth Family Spring', and they are happy." Li Lianying stepped forward with a smile on her face and said, "No, as soon as Lafayette is happy, he will call the servants over and invite the emperor to come over to enjoy the flowers." ”

"Oh." Emperor Tongzhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking of the superb beauty of "Heaven and Earth One Spring", and his mood became more comfortable.

The Old Summer Palace, the spring of heaven and earth.

The breeze blows, the Han Lian sings in a low voice with the wind, and the dew rolls back and forth on the lotus leaves like jade plates. The Empress Dowager Cixi, standing in the pavilion, looked into the distance, her eyes full of lotus flowers smiled faintly, and the clear spring was bubbling, as if telling the history of this antique garden and telling this picturesque and beautiful scenery.

There are a total of four pavilions here, with different shapes and different shapes, named spring, summer, autumn and winter pavilions. Each pavilion is carved with a variety of things that are clearly representative of each season. The magpie patterns carved on the window lattices and screens of the pavilion are particularly beautiful, and they symbolize happiness, wealth and auspiciousness, and happiness when going out...... The top of the pavilion is also carved with different patterns, which is very exquisite.

The Empress Dowager Cixi turned her head to look at it, there was a courtyard in the east, the courtyard was full of flowers, the flowers were not very large, and the stars were dotted from a distance, and the colors were yellow, red, and white...... It also exudes a burst of fragrance, and the courtyard is magnificently decorated. In the distance, rockeries are stacked on top of each other, like real mountains.

To the north of this garden, there is also a small grove with bamboo, apricot trees, peach trees, hemlock trees, and other trees. In Beijing's hot summer, it's the best place to take shelter from the heat.

The sound of bamboo is like Xiao, the melodious and melodious music is like water and pours softly, the Empress Dowager Cixi and the Empress Dowager Ci'an walk away, the falling flowers are colorful, and the delicate and soft petals dance like dancers...... Through the stone arches, the scenery in front of you is changed, the mountains here are abrupt and rugged, and the stones there are exquisitely poetic, like the ingenuity of nature's skilled craftsmen.

"Heaven and earth one spring" this garden, can be said to be beautiful to the extreme, this garden has the gorgeous flowers and grasses full of flowers, with the elegance of green bamboos and falling stones, with the humor of fish play green waves and flowers, and has the beauty of the water hibiscus in the sky. Such a garden scene, like a girl in the south of the Yangtze River holding an umbrella, Ling Bo walks slightly, full of poetic and picturesque ancient rhyme.

The fragrance of flowers in the courtyard comes to the face, in this walk, make people forget all their troubles, the trees in the woods, tall and straight, extremely lush, there is a hill behind the garden, stand on it and look at the "heaven and earth a spring", like a beautiful picture, its layout is unified, it is natural, even if it is not standing on the hill to see, it is also a beautiful picture, such a beautiful garden, who will not praise when you see it?

"I can't imagine that I will see this garden again today......" Looking at this picturesque and dreamlike garden, the Empress Dowager Ci'an remembered the time she spent here with Emperor Xianfeng when she was young, and she actually shed tears.

"Yes! It's exactly the same as back then...... "The Empress Dowager Cixi saw the scene, and tears flashed in her eyes.

She has strong self-control, and she is a person who is unwilling to show her feelings easily, but at this moment, looking at the birthplace of the girlhood that has reappeared in front of her - "Heaven and Earth Family Spring", being in it, like a dream, makes her heart fluctuate, and she can't help herself.

"Look at me, today was supposed to be a happy day, but I shed tears......" Empress Dowager Ci'an realized her gaffe, gently wiped away her tears with a handkerchief, and said with a smile.

"Our sisters and sons, this is happy!" The Empress Dowager Cixi also wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and said with a smile.

"This garden is so well maintained...... Just in time for your birthday, it's done here. The Empress Dowager Ci'an looked around and sighed, "It's time to have a good time again." ”

"Yes! This garden has been repaired, and the Japanese invaders have been beaten away, and I can have a happy birthday! The Empress Dowager Cixi thought that her birthday would be in a few months, and it could be held in the "Heaven and Earth Family Spring", and her mood was even more comfortable.

"If it weren't for the invasion of Taiwan by this widow and the cutting off of the source of wood, my sister's 'Jixi Hall' should have been completed by now." The Empress Dowager Cixi remembered that the Japanese had committed a crime in the year of her 40th birthday, and she couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.

"I'm not in a hurry for that piece, but fortunately, the Japanese have finally run away." The Empress Dowager Ci'an saw that the Empress Dowager Cixi was angry with the Japanese, and comforted her with a smile, "I heard that this time, our Qing Dynasty fought a big victory and wiped out all the Japanese invaders." ”

"Yes, this foreigner's newsprint, I write about this every day, let's Qing Dynasty, this time it really played the national prestige and military prestige. It's just that I don't look at the excerpts anymore these days, and I don't know how to play them. The Empress Dowager Cixi said, turned her head to look at the Empress Alut and Concubine Hui Fucha who were following behind her, and asked, "Didn't the emperor tell you the details of this?" ”

After listening to the Empress Dowager Cixi's questioning, the faces of the Alut clan and the Fucha clan were both red.

Where could they tell the Empress Dowager Cixi that the emperor used their bodies as a battlefield and played "scenario simulation" according to the description in the excerpt?

"Back to the emperor's mother, my daughter-in-law has heard the emperor talk about it." The Arut clan endured his shame, calmed down, and replied, "The emperor said that Lin Yizhe, the governor of Fujian, took the lead in naval and land battles, went into battle to kill, cut off the head of the Japanese chieftain, and paid tribute to the spirit of the deceased concubine. The emperor also said that he couldn't wait to be like Governor Lin and personally go into battle to kill the enemy! ”

"Oh? And such things? Listening to the queen's answer, the Empress Dowager Cixi and the Empress Dowager Ci'an were both shocked.

"Back to the emperor's mother, the emperor also talked to the concubine about it, and the concubine was startled at that time......" Concubine Hui said on the side, "The emperor also praised Lord Lin for valuing love and righteousness." When the emperor said this, looking at the Qing Dynasty, he couldn't find a few people who could do it...... The emperor also said that if he was Lord Lin and the concubine was the woman of the Fan clan who died, he would also behead the Japanese general like Lord Lin - no, cut off the head of the lord of the Japanese country to pay tribute to the concubine......" Speaking of this, Concubine Hui peeked at the queen, and her face was already crimson.

Of course, she couldn't say under what circumstances the emperor would say this to her.

"Is the emperor saying that the woman of the Fan clan that Lin Yizhe married last time was killed by the Japanese?" Listening to Concubine Hui's words, the Empress Dowager Cixi's face changed, "Lin Yizhe beheaded the Japanese general, just to pay tribute to her?" ”

"Back to the emperor's mother's words, that's what the emperor said." Concubine Hui said softly.

"I didn't expect it...... Let her go back to her parents' house to avoid the limelight, it will cost her her life! Alas! Empress Dowager Cixi's eyes flashed with sadness, and her words revealed deep self-reproach.

"I didn't expect such a tragic thing...... "Empress Dowager Ci'an also sighed, "It's really hard for Lin Yizhe......"

"The emperor is just talking, where can he understand the pain in Lin Yizhe's heart!" The Empress Dowager Cixi remembered Lin Yizhe's resolute refusal to abandon Eya from the Qingliu Proposal, and Lin Yizhe's painful feelings after losing Eaya, and couldn't help but clench the handkerchief in her hand.

In today's world, there are indeed not many men who are so affectionate......

"The pain of this bereavement is painful to the bone marrow!" The Empress Dowager Ci'an said, probably thinking of the late Emperor Xianfeng, and her eyes were a little red again.

"When the emperor comes, I'll ask for the details of this matter......" Empress Dowager Cixi calmed down, turned her head to Liu Chengyin and said, "By the way, didn't Li Lianying, a minion, go over to invite the emperor a long time ago?" Why haven't you seen the emperor coming? ”

"If you go back to the Queen Mother, I think it is because the emperor is busy with government affairs, and he should come later." Liu Chengyin, who had not spoken, hurriedly replied.

Listening to Liu Chengyin's words, the Empress Dowager Cixi seemed to remember something, and her eyebrows wrinkled slightly.

"Liu Chengyin, have you heard about Lin Yizhe's concubine martyrdom?" Empress Dowager Cixi asked.

"Back to the Queen Mother, the servants have heard a little, but they are not very detailed." Liu Chengyin replied respectfully, "But Lin Yizhe's beheading of the Japanese chieftain to commemorate the people who were martyred is indeed true. ”

"What do you think about this?" The Empress Dowager Cixi habitually asked Liu Chengyin about her plans.

"Back to the Queen Mother, the servants don't know anything else, but judging from the fact that Lin Yizhe used the head of the Japanese chief to pay tribute to the deceased concubine, his affection is not insignificant, which is admirable." Liu Chengyin thought for a moment and replied, "However, the slave is worried about Lin Yizhe's move, and he must not be allowed to discuss it with Shi Lin Qing......

Hearing Liu Chengyin's answer, the Empress Dowager Cixi's eyes flashed with anger.

"If it weren't for the troubles of this class of scholars, Lin Yizhe would have to keep the concubine under control, and he wouldn't have made such a tragedy!" The Empress Dowager Cixi said hatefully, "Now the people who are picking wood have also been killed by the Japanese Kou, maybe they are happy this time!" I think they just wish I couldn't build this garden! ”

Seeing that the Empress Dowager Cixi was angry, the queen, Concubine Hui, Liu Chengyin and others all jumped, lowered their eyebrows and lowered their heads one by one, not daring to make a sound.

"Alright, alright! It's all in the past, so don't be angry. The Empress Dowager Ci'an saw that the Empress Dowager Cixi was so angry that her body trembled, and she was afraid that she would be angry, so she hurriedly persuaded her, "Lin Yizhe loved his concubine and martyrdom, and he won the battle again this time, so he should be compensated and rewarded. ”

"Well, what my sister said is very true, and this matter will be done according to what my sister said." The Empress Dowager Cixi easily calmed down the anger in her heart and said calmly, "However, I want to see who are the people who want to join him!" ”

The Empress Dowager Cixi didn't speak loudly, but Liu Chengyin, who was familiar with her temperament, knew that this time, someone would definitely be unlucky.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

"Today, I was ordered to find out the situation of Tainan's war after the participation of Li Henian, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, Lin Yizhe, the governor of Fujian, Wen Yu, the general of Fuzhou, and Shen Baozhen, the minister of shipping, to find out the situation of Tainan's war. …… Xi is to admire the respect, and Liu Xuan will be reported to the Fa. ”

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Tainan, the government prison.

"Sir...... Is there anything else you would like to explain...... As long as you say, the little one will definitely do it for you......"

Seeing his cronie Liu Hong crying silently, Liu Xuan couldn't help frowning.

"What to cry about! I'm not dead yet! Liu Xuan scolded with some annoyance, "The court is benevolent, where did you come from to kill the prefect's sword!" Don't listen to people's nonsense! ”

Liu Hong wiped the tears on his face, got up with a sad voice, and looked at Liu Xuan with sad eyes.

"I asked you to send someone to deliver a letter to Zuo Gong, did you do it?" Liu Xuan asked.

"That's it, sir." Liu Hong said, "I sent Liu Erhei to go, and the people have been gone for almost half a month, I want him to hurry up, don't stop halfway, and be sure to deliver the letter to Lord Zuo." ”

"Well, yes, Liu Erhei has met with Zuo Gongchao, and he won't recognize the wrong person." Liu Xuan nodded, "It's just that Zuo Gong is too far away...... Zhejiang, also sent people over? ”

"It's sent, Lord Yang should have already given a reply at this time, and I can receive it in these two days." Liu Hong replied.

"The wall fell down and everyone pushed it, Yang Changjun is afraid that he may not dare to come out of this head." Thinking of his colleagues in Zhejiang, Liu Xuan couldn't help but sigh.

"How's the house?" Liu Xuan asked again.

"Everything is fine, although the master is now in prison, no one has come to check the house. The lady is fine, but her body is not very stable and she can't come to see the master. Mrs. asked the little one to bring a message to the master, don't worry about the family. Liu Hong said, "It's just ...... After the old man was imprisoned that day, the subordinates ran a lot and brought a lot of things......"

"Dog thing! When I get out of prison, I'll settle accounts with them! Liu Xuan heard that the subordinates in his house and the maid ring had run a lot, and couldn't help but roar angrily.

"Inside Yahuan, Guixiang also ran away, and Madame checked the lost things, counting the most she took......" Although Liu Hong was afraid that Liu Xuan would be angry, he still told him the news in the end.

"What?" Liu Xuan was so angry that his hair trembled, "This ungrateful little slut...... How dare you do that! ”

Liu Xuan was about to open his mouth to scold Guixiang, but heard a heavy sigh from the jailer at the door.

"Lord Liu, you should think more about your own future! Leave that mind the nosy. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Liu Xuan heard the "subtext" in the jailer's words, and frowned with some dissatisfaction.

"Hehe, Lord Liu, you are proficient in the art of Kanyu, you have the name of 'half-immortal', and when you count other people's affairs, your head is the way, why don't you give yourself a good calculation?" The jailer smiled and said.
