Chapter 479: Life and Death Are Right

"If there is a Lord, do not let him go easily. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Although the Empress Dowager Ci'an's tone was very gentle, her face was indescribably stern, "This party is the most hateful!" ”

Hearing the Empress Dowager Ci'an say the word "forming a party", Prince Gong and Wenxiang's hearts were all in the same place.

Both of them thought that after the debate and persuasion just now, Lin Yizhe had been able to survive this crisis without knowing it, but what they didn't expect was that a wave of unsettled and wave after wave arose!

"What my sister said is that this style of forming a party must not be opened!" The Empress Dowager Cixi looked at Prince Gong and Wen Xiang, and her voice became stern.

"Wen Xiang, I know that you have always been loyal to the Qing Dynasty, and we also suffered together back then, so I won't say anything more." Empress Dowager Ci'an looked at Wen Xiang, slowed down her tone, and said, "I just want to know, why did Wen Xiang push gravity to protect Lin Yizhe so much?" ”

Although the tone of the Empress Dowager Ci'an's question was not harsh, to Prince Gong's ears, it was like a huge thunderbolt.

Although the Empress Dowager Ci'an did not explicitly say whether he, Wenxiang and Lin Yizhe were "partyed", the implicit meaning in the words could not be more obvious!

It must be known that Prince Gong and Wenxiang were both strongly opposed to repairing the garden, but it was Lin Yizhe who took the line of Prince Gong through Li Hongzhang, and successfully repaired the garden through the operation of the "retribution" mechanism, which greatly eased the relationship between the Empress Dowager Cixi and Prince Gong.

Prince Gong's conversion was because of Lin Yizhe, and now their purpose of promoting the cultivation of the garden has obviously aroused the suspicion of the Empress Dowager Ci'an about their "party"!

The Empress Dowager Ci'an and the Empress Dowager Cixi, who have experienced the "Xinyou Coup" and the one-party political dispute with Su Shun and other eight ministers, are the most taboo is this "party"!

Thinking of the terrible consequences that Wen Xiang's answer might bring about if he was a little careless, Prince Gong's heart couldn't help but tighten.

"If you go back to the Queen Mother, the minister is to cherish talents for the country and raise talents for the country, and there is nothing else to do." Wen Xiang replied without hesitation, and did not hide his love for Lin Yizhe in his words, "Lin Yizhe is really doing things, dedicated to the country, and does not avoid slander. The queen mother may have heard that the minister wants to ask for a protΓ©gΓ© post from this son, and does not hide it from the queen mother, and the minister's heart has long regarded this son as the most proud protΓ©gΓ©, and the son of the minister's own son is not so important. Today, he is slandered and does not know it, how can the minister not fight desperately for it? ”

Hearing Wen Xiang's heartfelt words, the Empress Dowager Ci'an and the Empress Dowager Cixi couldn't help but be moved.

"Wen Xiang has said all the words that dig out his heart, hehe." Seeing that Wen Xiang was so excited, the Empress Dowager Cixi seemed to be desperate to protect Lin Yizhe, and felt that the atmosphere in Daya Zhai had become a little tense, so she had the heart to ease up, and said to the Empress Dowager Ci'an with a smile.

"Wenxiang, I know that you value Lin Yizhe, but I also want to remind you, you have to ensure that Lin Yizhe is indeed not rebellious, if he really wants to rebel one day, it will not be something you and I can control, if there is really such a time, it is better to make a decision tomorrow morning." Empress Dowager Ci'an looked at Wen Xiang, sighed, and said.

Hearing the words of the Empress Dowager Ci'an, Wen Xiang's body couldn't help but tremble, and Prince Gong on the side was sweating like pulp.

"If you go back to the Queen Mother, I am willing to relieve this knot for the Queen Mother." Wen Xiang's voice became hoarse, and his expression showed a trace of unspeakable sadness.

"What does Wen Xiang want to do?" Empress Dowager Cixi asked.

"If you go back to the queen mother, Lin Yizhe will be able to go to Beijing in a few days, and then the minister will invite him to his home for a while, and ask the sixth master to arrange the Shenji camp to be in ambush in the minister's house...... The ...... of Killing"

In the end, Wen Xiang seemed to have exhausted all his strength, and he couldn't say a single extra word.

"In that case, then we sisters are waiting for the good news of Wenxiang." Empress Dowager Ci'an said calmly.

"The minister retired." Wen Xiang got up, bowed to Prince Gong, and then withdrew.

Seeing the somewhat rickety figures of Prince Gong and Wen Xiang disappear, the Empress Dowager Ci'an let out a heavy sigh.

The Empress Dowager Cixi turned her head to look at the Empress Dowager Ci'an and gently held her fingers.

She knew that the answer just now was also a kind of torture against Ci'an's will.

"Sister...... It's true...... Does it have to be that way? ......" Empress Dowager Cixi hesitated for a moment, but still asked softly.

"I don't want to do that either......" Empress Dowager Ci'an shook her head and sighed.

The two sisters were relatively speechless. At this moment, after sending Prince Gong and Wenxiang on the train, Liu Chengyin did not immediately rush back to Daya Zhai to wait, but sent someone to call Li Lianying over and say a few words to him.

When Lin Yizhe came to the door of Xianliang Temple, he vaguely felt a hint of ominousness.

After he arrived in Tianjin on the cruiser "Fujing", he received a note sent by Li Lianying, which had nothing else on it, only the words "Huang Tifang" were written, Lin Yizhe and Li Hongzhang saw the note, and they didn't understand what it meant. Regarding Li Lianying's warning, Lin Yizhe knew that something big must have happened, and it must be related to Huang Tifang's impeachment of himself, but at this time, there was no other news, and there was no trace, so Lin Yizhe could only be careful. Li Hongzhang instructed him not to rush to the meeting after arriving in Beijing, but to visit Wenxiang Mansion first.

But as soon as Lin Yizhe entered the foreign official building of Xianliang Temple, he found that something was wrong.

There seem to be a lot more guards in the foreign official's building, and there are also a lot of soldiers from the Shenji Battalion!

Lin Yizhe was in shock, and Yang Da, the steward of Wenxiang Mansion, walked forward quickly.

"Ouch, Lord Lin, you're here! The little ones have been waiting here for a long time! Yang Da smiled and stepped forward to salute Lin Yizhe.

"There is Lao Yang in charge." Lin Yizhe raised his hand and saluted back, "What?" Wen Xiang has something to do with me? ”

"That's what Lord Lin said." Yang Da said respectfully, "Prime Minister Wen wants the little one to wait for Lord Lin here, and tells the little one to ask Lord Lin to come to the house as soon as he sees Lord Lin." ”

Lin Yizhe wanted to go to Wenxiang's Mansion to visit, but when he saw that Wenxiang actually sent someone to wait for him early and invite him over, he didn't think much about it, he turned around and ordered Lin Fu to follow him a few words, and immediately followed Yang Da into the carriage sent by Wenfu.

When the carriage set off, Lin Yizhe casually lifted the small curtain of the car window next to him, looked out, and saw a team of cavalry of the Shenji Battalion with loaded guns and ammunition stepped forward and surrounded the carriage he was sitting in.

The carriage moved slowly, and the cavalry followed suit.

Although these cavalry seemed to passers-by as his escort and guard of honor, Lin Yizhe had the feeling that they were escorting prisoner cars.

What the hell is going on?

Lin Yizhe thought of the note Li Lianying wrote to himself with Huang Tifang's name again, and the feeling of uneasiness in his heart became heavier and heavier.

Could it be that the gossip officials have begun to impeach themselves again?

Lin Yizhe thought back to what he had done before he came to Beijing, but he still couldn't grasp the essentials.

Because everything he does belongs to the category of foreign affairs, everything is easy to provoke Qingliu impeachment, but recently, he has not done anything else except to report to the imperial court to build inland gunboats and report the plan of a new generation of high-speed notification ships?

Was it because of the initiative to borrow money from the banks of Rotchild in Britain, France and Italy?

It's not the first time to borrow foreign debts, and this matter was decided by the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces and King Gong, and it's useless for Qingliu to use this as a topic?

Just as Lin Yizhe was thinking about a headache, the carriage stopped.

"Lord Lin, when you get to the ground, please get out of the car." Yang Da said outside.

Lin Yizhe nodded, opened the car door, Yang Da took a small bench for him to step on, and helped him get out of the carriage. Lin Yizhe followed Yang Da into the Wen Mansion and came to the living room.

At this time, Wen Xiang was pacing in the living room, and when he heard Yang Da singing loudly to announce that Lin Yizhe had arrived, he turned around suddenly.

"The juniors meet Wenzhongtang." Lin Yizhe stepped forward and respectfully saluted Wen Xiang.

What surprised Lin Yizhe was that Wen Xiang was not as affectionate as before, but looked at him fixedly for a while.

"I don't know why Wen Zhongtang urgently summoned the juniors to the house?" Lin Yizhe sensed Wen Xiang's strangeness, so he immediately asked.

"You take a look at this first." Wen Xiang didn't answer his words, but turned around and came to the table, took a notebook, and handed it to Lin Yizhe.

Lin Yizhe took the fold with some surprise, opened it and looked at the title, and his face changed.

Sure enough, it was Huang Tifang who impeached him!

Thinking of these clear streams embarrassing himself again and again, Lin Yizhe couldn't help but feel on fire in his heart.

He held his temper and carefully looked at the contents of the excerpt.

Lin Yizhe was looking at the excerpt, while Wen Xiang was looking at his expression.

Wen Xiang stared at Lin Yizhe's face tightly, only to see that the delicate face was red at first, and a pair of handsome eyes were full of anger, but when he saw half of the fold, his face turned from red to white, and in addition to anger, there was panic and horror in his eyes, like five thunderbolts.

"Huang Tifang! You despicable villain! How dare you do me this! Lin Yizhe hissed and roared.

He finally understands now what the three words Huang Tifang written by Li Lianying mean.

And he also understood why Li Lianying only dared to send someone to secretly mention Huang Tifang's name to him, but didn't dare to tell him what happened!

He never thought that someone would use such a despicable and cruel method against him!

"Villain! Villain! Villain! Lin Yizhe scolded Huang Tifang angrily, because of the extreme anger, his body trembled.

It was the first time for Wen Xiang to see Lin Yizhe so out of shape, as if he was going to eat people, and he couldn't help but be startled at first, but then he immediately regained his composure, as if Lin Yizhe's reaction was already in his expectation.

"Lin Kunyu, the next question is not for me to ask you, but for the Queen Mother, the emperor wants to ask you, and you can answer it after you think it through, do you understand?" Wen Xiang said in a deep voice.

When Lin Yizhe heard Wen Xiang's words, he immediately knelt on the ground.

He understood and knew that this time the answer should be a "life and death question".

Wen Xiang's voice also seemed a little nervous, because he knew that Prince Gong Yixin was behind the four large screens in the living room.

And in the living room, the generals of the Shenji Battalion have been ambushed.

Wen Xiang was most worried that Lin Yizhe would not answer the right sentence in one sentence, and he would let the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion take it.

"Lin Kunyu, Huang Tifang impeached you as Zhang Yuan and Wu Hao, but is it okay?" Wen Xiang asked loudly.

"This person's compromise is all nonsense! Don't listen! Although Lin Yizhe bowed to the ground, his voice was still strong and unyielding.

"Lin Kunyu, what do you think of Zhang Yuan and Wu Hao?" Wen Xiang asked again.

"Zhang Yuan and Wu Hao, the rebels and thieves who were forced to a dead end!" Lin Yizhe replied in a loud voice.

Hearing Lin Yizhe's answer, Wen Xiang couldn't help but cheer in his heart.

This son is really powerful, not only can he not be chaotic in the face of danger, but he can also hit the key point with one sentence!

"Thieves like Zhang Yuan and Wu Hao, how should they be dealt with?"

"Zhang Yuan and Wu Hao are indeed talented, but unfortunately the Song Dynasty can't use it, and they are humiliated, so they go to Xia to oppose the Song Dynasty, these people have been in all dynasties, rather than making up for the dead, it is better to take precautions, than to regret it afterwards, it is better to use it for the country in advance."

"If a person is not a sage, who can be without fault? An Neng is unpredictable, and the prophet has great talents? If it is used in its name, will it not be of benefit to the country? ”

"Even if it is in a false name, it is not necessary or appropriate to wantonly humiliate and increase hatred, and will not it be more harmful to the country?"

"Zhang Yuananti, who is to blame?"

"Humiliate Zhang Yuanzhi's county order!"

"Why?"

"If it weren't for this person to scold Zhang Yuan, Zhang Yuan would not have been resentful and treasonous, and the person Zhang Yuan asked for was used by the imperial court, and he was not treacherous, but was blamed for no reason, and he was humiliated, so he had a treacherous will, and the county order forced him to rebel! Without this county order, Zhang Yuan will not rebel! ”

"Lin Kunyu, you sympathize with Zhang Yuan so much, do you want to learn?"

"The younger generation has never had the intention of learning from Zhang Yuan and Wu Hao, and the court is kind, and the repayment is too late, how can they learn the thoughts of Zhang Yuan and Wu Hao? And if the younger generation learns from Zhang Yuan, the gains outweigh the losses. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"Zeng Wenzheng Gong is the righteous father of the cheap, before driving the crane to the west, he left the last words of 'people are doing, the sky is watching' and the younger generations, in the past, Zeng Wenzheng Gong sat on the land of the two rivers, with hundreds of thousands, famous all over the world, Shilin admired, not without the capital of the king. There was also the temptation of Wang Minyun and others to 'persuade him to advance', but he cut his troops and withdrew his armor, retreated bravely in a hurry, and achieved a reputation for loyalty and righteousness. The younger generation was taught by Zeng Wenzheng, and the ancestors received the emperor's grace in the next generation, and they knew the word 'loyalty' best, how could they shame the ancestors? Even if the court does not use the strategy of the younger generation, and takes away the official body of the younger generation, the younger generation and their families can also live a well-off and prosperous life. Even if the Qing Dynasty is big, there is no place for the younger generations to live, the younger generations are blessed with the grace of the Queen Mother, and they are married to England, and there is this paradise outside the world, and the food and clothing are also worry-free. ”

"If the imperial court fails you, will you be Zhang Yuan and Wu Hao?"

"The younger generation would rather die than be Zhang Yuan and Wu Hao! When he was aggrieved, he thought of taking revenge on the country, causing foreign enemies to enter the country, and countless living beings were tragically destroyed. ”

Lin Yizhe said, raised his head suddenly, and looked directly at Wen Xiang, as if he was about to breathe fire.

"The king wants his ministers to die, the ministers are not dead and disloyal, the father wants the son to die, and the son is not filial piety! The younger generation has always regarded Zhongtang as the teacher's confidant, if the middle hall wants the younger generation to die today, or the queen mother wants the younger generation to die, the younger generation has no second word, the only death! It's just that I begged Zhongtang to allow the younger generation to leave a few last words with his wife and children! ”

Hearing Lin Yizhe's words, Wen Xiang couldn't help but change color on his face.

"After the death of the juniors, ask Zhongtang to bury the bones of the juniors next to the Zhaozhong Shrine of our Navy and Army officers in Taiwan." Speaking of which, Lin Yizhe simply turned his heart sideways and said loudly.

Hearing Lin Yizhe actually say something about what happened after his death, Wen Xiang couldn't help but be shocked, "But why?" ”

"The younger generation died like this, there is a loss of the emperor's grace, shame to see the ancestors in the ground, not to enter the ancestral tomb, the long companion sacrificed the heroic soul of the soldiers for the country. When the younger generation and the soldiers get along day and night, they are the happiest, and they are not lonely when they go to accompany each other under the nine springs! Lin Yizhe replied.

After listening to Lin Yizhe's answer, Wen Xiang stared at Lin Yizhe's face, Lin Yizhe met Wen Xiang's gaze without flinching, and slowly stood up from the ground.

At this time, Lin Yizhe was ready to die!

For the hardships and dangers that can be encountered in the crossing, he has actually been mentally prepared for a long time! I just didn't expect this day to come so soon!

Lao Tzu was originally a life picked up for nothing! From the beginning of the crossing to the present, it has changed the direction of history, and it can be regarded as a career! Now it's dead, and the big deal is to travel back again! It's worth it to have such an experience!

Somehow, at this moment, Zhao Yuetong's face appeared in front of Lin Yizhe's eyes......

Xiaotong, if I travel back now, will I still be able to see you? ……

Thinking of this, Lin Yizhe hung his head in pain.

Wen Xiang looked at Lin Yizhe blankly, sighed, and tears oozed from the corners of his eyes.

What Wen Xiang didn't know was that Prince Gong, who was hiding behind the screen at this time, couldn't help but gently rub the corners of his eyes with his sleeve.

Prince Gong wiped away his tears, turned his head to look at a corner of the room, and found that several officers and soldiers of the Shenji Battalion couldn't help but have a sad look on their faces at this time.

Obviously, they were also moved by Lin Yizhe's words just now.

Seeing Prince Gong looking over here, the head of the general hurriedly blinked, squeezed out the tears from the corners of his eyes, and cast an inquiring glance at Prince Gong.

Prince Gong waved his hand at them gently, shook his fists, and then tiptoed out with his subordinates. Because they were all wearing leather soft boots, and there was no sound when they walked, Lin Yizhe, who was grieving, did not notice their existence at all.

Although Lin Yizhe was ready to die, he didn't expect that at the moment just now, death would indeed accompany him!

"Good! Good! Good! Kunyu can say this, it is really a blessing for the country, and it is also a blessing for the literature! With bursts of applause, Prince Gong walked out from behind the screen with a smile.
