Cixi was on the playground, and he talked about the truth of reducing talents without sticking to one pattern, and Zhao Guanhou found that many people's eyes were surging with a flame called ambition. In front of this living example of himself, I don't know how many people have moved their hearts and thought about fighting for their lives and coming back in exchange for wealth. In other words, the return brought by wearing a flower feather on the top is much stronger than the effect of 200,000 taels of internal money. This old woman, worthy of being the supreme ruler of the empire, does have a skill that is difficult for ordinary people to match. In front of such a woman, even if it is Yuan Weiting, it is best to bow low and be small, and not have any improper thoughts.

In any case, Zhao Guanhou will not suffer. A turmoil in exchange for him for the four-grade top and one-eyed flower feather, this official position in the new army, can achieve this level of help, and Cao Zhongkun is almost on an equal footing.

And the queen mother is also a top appreciator, and it is a flower feather, this honor is rare in recent years, compared to the real lack of registered soldiers, named commanders, Zhao Guanhou is naturally vacant to fill in, vacant to fill, the actual official position is only in the moment. You must know that not long ago, he was still a gangster on the street, and he didn't take down the documents in the martial arts academy, and now he is qualified to win the gang, which can be said to be a step to the sky.

Cixi was old, and after saying so many words, she also felt a little tired, so she was supported by Princess Rongshou and two eunuchs, and went directly to the back to rest, and didn't even go to the viewing platform. It didn't take long for Cui Yugui to spread the word, the Queen Mother had a will, rest at the small station tonight, and leave for Beijing tomorrow, and ask Yuan Weiting to go with him and be alone with the Queen Mother.

Handing over the sign, calling up, and being alone are all terms used by the big men in the Beijing Division, called Yuan Weiting alone, that is, the Queen Mother has something to say to him to talk to.

It is said that only the Minister of Military Aircraft, the royal family, and the Xinjiang ministers are qualified to play alone. Yuan Weiting is a three-grade master, and he is not qualified to play solo with the Queen Mother, so it can be seen that Lord Yuan is afraid that he will be reused. Including Han Rong, they all said secretly: This Yuan Weiting is indeed doing well, it is time for the carp to jump into the dragon gate, it seems that it is just around the corner to get the important position of superintendent with the fame of the boy.

His own chief went to see the Queen Mother, but the people below could not be idle, since the Queen Mother was going to stay here, the meals and food were all prepared in the place, and they could not be slow. Yuan Weiting was thoughtful, and naturally had already made arrangements for this kind of welcome, including the chef and the meals, which had already been prepared. The eunuchs watched, the cooks began to get busy, and the ministers relieved their tension and began to divide into groups, each gossiping.

As soon as Zhao Guanhou stood up, he was surrounded by several of his subordinates, and Huo Qiu said: "My lord, you have thundered on the ground this time, and you have developed." How do you sing that phrase? changed his clothes in the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion, and Xue Pinggui also had today's day. Turn back the villain to do the east, please go to Dengying Lou to go to the restaurant, and then go to the Sai Jinhua, which should make the villain all inclusive. You are on the rise now, small ones, but you also have to be stained, when you go out in the future, you must mention us a little. We are our own people who work with you, and we are better than outsiders. ”

"Why, you don't want to be the head of this pro-soldier shed?"

"I think, but the shed is too small, if you can take the villain and reward the villain with a team, the villain will definitely serve with all his heart and will not let you suffer."

Although Yuan Baoshan and Yuan Baohe are members of the Yuan clan, their relationship with Yuan Weiting is not very close, otherwise they would not only be two shedheads. In terms of attitude, like Huo Qiu, they all hope to go out with Zhao Guanhou and go to other camps to break through.

They figured out that Zhao Guanhou's current official position was unlikely to remain in the pro-soldier team, and if he was released, at least he would start from helping. And although this commander is relatively strict in training, he does not like to beat people, nor does he like to use other cruel punishments on his subordinates, and he does not go to loot. If he doesn't give gifts, he won't have any dissatisfaction. In the military, this has to be regarded as a first-class good boss.

What's more, these people are very superstitious, and they believe that people like Zhao Guanhou belong to the kind of people who are lucky to die. Kneeling on the ground and kowtowing can pick up the queen mother's hairpin, hand it over, and enjoy the four-grade top and one-eyed flower feather on the spot. Such a person is the most unprovoked, follow him, as long as he has a little vigor, he will be able to prosper in official fortune, and his future prospects are much stronger than in the pro-soldier post.

Zhao Guanhou nodded, "The three of you are my good arms, if I have the opportunity to release, I will call you." It's just that I'll be honest with you, right now, I don't want to leave my adulthood. Maybe for some time to come, I will still be a member of the pro-army team, and as for what step I will come to, I will talk about it in the future. ”

"It's okay, with the talents and luck of adults, even if you become the commander of the wing in the future, it's no problem, let's just wait." Yuan Baoshan nodded, and Yuan Baohe also said: "In the future, the three of us, as well as our brothers from the cavalry post, will listen to you, and we will do what you want us to do." We'll do it with you. ”

The four of them were chatting, but they saw Tang Tianxi coming here in the distance, he was Yuan Weiting's confidant, the four of them didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly asked, "Is there something wrong with Master Tang?" ”

Tang Tianxi's attitude towards Zhao Guanhou has been much more indifferent since Shen Jinying's incident, but later he knew that this woman was not easy to deal with. If you do it hard, you can only suffer yourself, your face will change faster than a chameleon, and you and Zhao Guanhou will become a brother again.

From afar, he showed a smiling face, came to the four of them, took the initiative to return the salute, and said in a flattering voice: "Four brothers, don't do this, I can't stand it." The villain was ordered by the adult, and asked Lord Zhao to go and reply. ”

"Lord Yuan finished talking to the Queen Mother over there?"

"Not really. In front of the Queen Mother, how many words can be said, and the words come out. This is a good face, the Queen Mother is tired of saddle horses, and she wants to take a nap, except for adults, no one else is qualified to go in and reply. Even the Governor of the King, who was waiting outside, did not call it. As soon as the adults come back, let me look for you, and it can be seen that Lord Zhao is going to be reused. In the future, don't forget our old friend. Speaking of which, I lost another wink.

Zhao Guanhou only felt a chill on his body, but he had to be perfunctory on the surface, and secretly slandered Yuan Weiting in his heart, and Yu Dry Road was too preferred. When he arrived at the signing room, Zhao Guanhou was just about to kneel, but Yuan Weiting had already stopped him

"Your own people, don't come to this set, it's too late to talk about time. The Empress Dowager asked me to be alone, not to talk about business, but to explain a little errand, I couldn't prepare for a while, so I had to come to you, I heard that you can sing? ”

As soon as Yuan Weiting asked, Zhao Guanhou naturally remembered that when he was selling outside the county yamen, he sang about Shiro's visit to his mother, and hurriedly knelt down twice, "I was confused on the day of my humble position, and I shouldn't offend adults......

"I didn't tell you that now." Yuan Weiting was more anxious than him, and pulled him to sit down, "That's all in the past, what's the use of mentioning it." The Queen Mother just called up, asking me if there is any good corner on the ground in Jinmen, and the Queen Mother will have dinner tonight and want to pass on the play. If you think about it, we are dozens of miles away from Jinmen, even if we want to go to the corner to get a class, it is not so ready-made. Pi Nili said a word next to him, just let the people in the barracks sing it. The clothes and hats are all ready-made, as long as you find someone. The Queen Mother's play, although it is temporary, must not be sloppy. In my barracks, only Tianxi can play the horn of Dan, can you do this horn? ”

The Empress Dowager Cixi loves Peking Opera, and even when she goes out, she carries it all with her. She herself is an insider, and if she fools her, she will definitely not be able to pass the test. If this errand is not done well, the Queen Mother will be displeased, although Yuan Weiting will not lose his official position, but in the future, it will inevitably be greatly affected. In terms of the degree of attention, he attaches great importance to this matter, but it is above the military parade.

Zhao Guanhou thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Do your best." ”

"Good! What I want is your words, in short, take out the solution of your whole body, and show some face to our new army. Don't underestimate a play, if you sing well, the Queen Mother will be happy, maybe there will be another reward. ”

In the temporary dormitory, Cixi woke up, and it was already past three o'clock in the afternoon. In the palace, she couldn't sleep for so long, there were always many recitals to see, or there were many ministers waiting to be handed over to the sign. At the small station, you can sleep comfortably away from the general affairs.

Rong Shou was waiting on the side, and when he saw that she was awake, he hurriedly handed over the ginseng tea. Cixi asked, "How is it outside?" Yuan Weiting: Is he busy looking for someone to sing? ”

"Back to the Buddha's words, my daughter heard that Yuan Weiting was very anxious. He himself doesn't like to listen to operas, and there are no people singing in the barracks, so he just finds someone to deal with it, which inevitably misses the checkpoint. I'm looking around to see if there's a suitable candidate. ”

"He deserves it, and it's time to make him anxious." Cixi smiled and put the ginseng tea down. "Among the minions around me, there are people who can sing, why don't you use me, you have to use the people in his military camp. is to toss and toss him, so that his dazzling eyes can't go too smoothly. Do you know why I reward Zhao Guanhou so much? ”

Princess Rongshou didn't participate in this kind of military affairs, shook her head and said: "My daughter is confused, I don't know what the Buddha means." ”

"It's a matter of making people angry, Yuan Weiting's military training is good, and when I look at it, I am also happy. But when I look at those soldiers, I think, these soldiers are good or generals, but they are all Han Chinese. Where are our own people? Back then, the ancestor started between the white mountains and black waters, and he walked to the gang, with an army of 20,000 and a Liao army of 700,000, what a majesty it was! But now? What has become of the banner people in the capital, and there are still a few who can go into battle. ”

She sighed, "Cheng Yi has always thought that his new team of martial arts can fight a dozen when he encounters foreigners, only I know, to put it mildly, it is a foreigner, even if it is a twist back then, he may not be an opponent." Let's just say that a few days ago, for the sake of his son's fight, he was transferring troops and sending generals, and the troubles in the capital were restless, if it weren't for your sixth uncle to speak, I heard that he would send troops outside the city to search and kill, this is simply a bandit! Which point is comparable to such an operator as Yuan Weiting. Back then, Su Liu said that the flag people were all waste, which was a bit too much, your sixth uncle was also a flag man, who would dare to compare his methods? But his body is ......, and now I can't let him out to do things. Among our flag people, there are few who can pick the beam, except for one Han Zhonghua, there are no talents. ”

Princess Rongshou inherited the bloodline of Wenzong, and called her biological father the sixth uncle, to show that she inherited a branch of Wenzong. When he heard that he was talking about his biological father, he didn't dare to speak, and only listened to the Queen Mother's speech.

The country is in distress and thinks of good generals, and Cixi is quite lamenting the withering of talents at this time. The old ministers of the year gradually withered, Zhang Hefei and Zhang Xiangtao are also old, not to mention that these are all Hanchen. And now Yuan Weiting, who can lead soldiers to compare with foreigners, is also a Han member, Han Zhonghua, who was not very outstanding at the beginning, but now he is faintly the top person among the banner people. This kind of situation made her feel a little unstable.

"I have to leave a good foundation for the emperor, and I can't leave a mess. If there are some arrogant soldiers left, no one can cure him, and his position will be unstable. I sealed that Zhao Guanhou today, just to give Yuan Weiting eye medicine. I enlarged his official position and made his superiors not care about him. Besides, Yuan Weiting only gave him a seven-grade, and I gave him a four-grade, who do you say he listened to? You don't know if you're paying attention to it today, those generals have red eyes. They all hold back their energy, and they want to do something for me to see, so that they can be promoted. This is called buying bones with a thousand dollars, and it can also make the new army deviate from morality, so as not to have soldiers as generals. The emperor is kind-hearted, and he still has to make up for this lesson. I'm old, and you, the sister, need to teach him. ”

"My daughter is stupid, I'm afraid that she can't teach well, and then Lafayette will have to bother more. Like this drama, I still don't understand. ”

"You, like the emperor, are just too honest."

Although Cixi is reproaching, her face is full of smiles, it is precisely because Princess Rongshou has always been so honest that she can be favored in front of her, and she is really smart, but she doesn't know how far she has fallen.

"I want the people in his new army to come out and sing, no matter how you sing, you just shout. I'll reward it again, and this new army will be changed. What about the soldiers he trained in Yuan Weiting? When the time comes, it won't all be my Wanyan's people, I only need a few words, and I will let the army's heart come to our side! I left such a team that can kill and fight well to the emperor, and I am worthy of him. ”

"Lafayette is wise, and his daughter is beyond his reach."

Li Lianying walked in at this time and said, "Lafayette, dinner is almost ready, look, is it a drive?" ”

"Tell me. By the way, say hello to Cui Yugui, don't show it! He understands drama, but I'm afraid that he will show his ability and ruin my big things. Da Gege, come with me, they haven't started the gong over there, let's go to the show here. Today, I will play an old lady who loves to appreciate people and spend money, and let them see who plays this play well. ”

The palace maid and eunuch were guided in front, and Cixi and his party arrived at the handsome hall, and the ministers had already knelt on the road to greet them. Wine and food, although it can not be compared with the treasure of the heavenly kitchen, but it is also rich to the extreme, Cixi is old, in the appetite, not very enthusiastic, after sitting down, he commanded, Li Lianying beckoned. With the sound of gongs and drums, the drama began. (To be continued.) )
