Tibet is the barrier of the southwest, this place, Liu Jun categorically will not let him mess up, if it is chaotic here, the southwest region will be easy to be chaotic, after thinking for a while, Liu Jun looked at Zheng Yiqian, who was standing beside him: "I will clean it up later, and when the old man's negotiations are completed today, we will go to him, listen to his opinion, and then deal with this problem."

Of course, Zheng Yiqian knew what Liu Jun was talking about, and after nodding slightly, Zheng Yiqian smiled: "I know, I'll arrange it later." ”

Hearing Zheng Yiqian's answer, Liu Jun was also relieved, began to seriously process the documents and waited for Li Hongzhang's negotiation to end, and looked at the wall clock on the wall, it was less than twelve o'clock, that is to say, there are still five hours to go, and today's negotiation can be regarded as over. Just right, you can let Li Hongzhang come here to eat.

Drunken Immortal Building, another morning time passed. There is still no progress in today's negotiations. Li Hongzhang, who had no choice, could only order a rest and wait until the afternoon to continue talking.

When he came to the lounge, Li Hongzhang took the tea from his son Li Jingfang and drank a few sips, then sat on the chair and closed his eyes to recuperate.

"Marshal, the imperial court still doesn't seem to have any reaction to our revised documents, and they haven't raised any objections in the past few days, what does this mean?" Wu Tingfang, who was sitting on the side, saw that Li Hongzhang had finished resting and opened his eyes, so he stood up from the chair and shouted.

Wu Tingfang said that the revised document, Li Hongzhang was clear, it was the maintenance fee for the imperial family proposed by Liu Jun and himself.

After getting the situation from Liu Jun, Li Hongzhang came back to discuss with Wu Tingfang and others, and finally decided to obey Liu Jun and add child support to the imperial court, that is, after abdication, in five years, the princes and ministers of the imperial court could live in the palace of Longquanyi, and after five years, Liaodong would take back this place, of course, they could also lease it, as long as they had money, there would be no problem.

However, Liaodong's abdication fee to the imperial court is only four million taels of silver per year, and after the fifth year, it will decrease by 500,000 yuan per year, until the end As for what these people should do in the future, it is not Liaodong's business.

Originally, this revision, Liaodong had already given the imperial court a great buffer, however, several people led by Cixi didn't seem to take this matter as a matter at all, and in the past few days, Zai Fu has not said this matter in negotiations. This made Wu Tingfang and even Li Hongzhang a little puzzled, what the imperial court meant, whether to agree or disagree, it is impossible to judge at all.

"To be honest, the old man doesn't know what the court thinks at the moment, but if they don't respond to all changes, I believe they will be unable to hold their breath one day." After Li Hongzhang finished speaking, he picked up the tea in his hand again, and before he could drink the water, he saw the soldiers of the guard regiment walking in outside, and behind this soldier, Zheng Yiqian, who was wearing a general's uniform, was behind.

Zheng Yiqian does not participate in this negotiation, he has always been in the headquarters, if Zheng Yiqian is here, then there must be something, otherwise Zheng Yiqian would not have come here.

"Grandpa, Liu Jun asked you to go to the headquarters after the afternoon." After coming in, Zheng Yiqian came directly to Li Hongzhang and said.

went to the headquarters, Li Hongzhang, who looked down and thought about it for a while, looked at Zheng Yiqian, who was standing in front of him, and then asked, "What's the matter?" ”

The person who dares to ask such a question, in the entire Liaodong, there is only Li Hongzhang alone, and no one else dares to ask Liu Jun what is the reason for Liu Jun's death.

"The Tibet Question." After seeing that the people in the room were not outsiders, Zheng Yiqian said directly.

Tibet? Li Hongzhang, who heard this, thought for a while, and then seemed to understand something, immediately nodded and stood up from the chair to look at Zheng Yiqian in front of him, and then pointed to the person in front of him and said, "This afternoon, a few of you continue to chat with Zaitao and a few of them, and I'll go to Liu Jun's place first." ”

Li Hongzhang has served as the governor of the imperial court for so many years, how can he not know that the Tibetan issue is now the black heart of the entire southwest issue, and if Tibet cannot be handled perfectly, even if the imperial court surrenders in the future, or if Liaodong conquers the southwest region, the entire southwest region will not be stable at that time. Therefore, hearing that it was a problem in Tibet, Li Hongzhang decided to temporarily let Wu Tingfang take the post of regiment commander, and he had to go to the headquarters first.

"Let's go." Li Hongzhang finished arranging in a few words, and then pointed at Zheng Yiqian at the same time, and walked out first.

Baoji, in Liu Jun's office, Liu Jun, who was resting in the room, heard a knock on the door, and then walked to the door and opened the door.

"Old man, you're here so soon?" Liu Jun, who opened the door, saw that it was Li Hongzhang, and asked with a surprised face, he didn't expect Li Hongzhang's speed to be so fast.

Li Hongzhang just nodded, and then walked in, and after a few times to the side of the sofa and sat down, Li Hongzhang looked at Liu Jun, who had already walked in front of him, and then said slowly: "I heard Zheng Yiqian say that you asked me to ask questions about Tibet, so I will come." ”

It seems that this old man is still very positive, and when he heard Li Hongzhang say ten thousand flowers, Liu Jun thought in his heart.

Since Li Hongzhang had already asked, Liu Jun didn't want to hide it, but took out the telegram sent by Zhao Erfeng from the drawer in the aisle drawer and handed it to Li Hongzhang.

Li Hongzhang took the telegram and looked at it. About five minutes later, Li Hongzhang, who had been thinking, put the telegram on the coffee table aside and said, "What do you think?" ”

I? Liu Jun glanced at Li Hongzhang, took a deep breath and said: "My idea is very simple, religion, I still respect their customs, but in terms of military power and politics, it is not up to them to have the final say." ”

Well, after listening to Liu Jun's words, Li Hongzhang understood what Liu Jun meant, that is, the Dalai Lama in Tibet only has religious rights, not military and political rights.

"Now that you've thought about it, why are you asking me what I'm doing?" Li Hongzhang didn't understand, since Liu Jun had already made it clear, why did he still come to ask about religion again.

The purpose of Liu Jun asking Li Hongzhang to come today is because the matter of choosing the Dalai Lama is very important, and who is going to preside over this matter is the royal way, and also, the gold bemba bottle that is currently pumping the reincarnated spirit child is not in the Potala Palace, how to do this, is it not possible to make a new one, at this time, where to make an identical gold bottle.

It turned out that this was the case, and after listening to Liu Jun's account, Li Hongzhang immediately understood what Liu Jun was considering, indeed, if this matter is not handled well, then choosing the Dalai Lama is just a nonsense. ，

Lowering his head and thinking for a while, Li Hongzhang raised his head and said to Liu Jun: "The person who hosts, Zhao Erfeng is fine, as for that bottle, I will ask Zhang Zhidong later, if I estimate that there is no mistake, in Chengdu, there is currently a bottle like this."
