Chapter Seventy-Seven: To Each His Own Need

As Yang Xingguo originally inferred, from the time the Eight-Nation Alliance entered the palace capital, Cixi was pressed by foreigners. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

As the lord of a country, if Cixi did not hold back a ball of fire in her heart, it would be impossible.

As a confidant of the Empress Dowager Cixi, Wang Wenshao is very aware of Cixi's grievances and helplessness in the past two years.

Now, I finally came across a good opportunity to vent my grievances, and of course Cixi had to be happy.

Therefore, when he heard that Cixi was going to reward a former bandit, Wang Wenshao was not surprised.

However, understanding is understanding, for Cixi's heavy reward, Wang Wenshao still refused very decisively......

"The Queen Mother thinks twice......"

"The imperial court can recruit Yang Xingguo and let Yang Xingguo be used by the imperial court...... However, the imperial court must not reward him, not even give him real power......"

Cixi's brows furrowed, and she asked with a puzzled expression: "Aiqing, why is this!" ”

"Yang Xingguo killed so many old Maozi, although he was a bandit at the time, but after all, he was from my Qing Dynasty. It can be said that it has given a big breath of evil to the mourning family and raised the prestige of our country. For such a warrior, if the mourning family is not rewarded heavily, what do you let the ministers think of the mourning family......"

Of course, Wang Wenshao did not look back, watching Cixi offend the Russians because of a moment of joy.

After only a short period of contemplation, Wang Wenshao opened his mouth to analyze: "The queen mother is happy and angry, and the old minister doesn't mean this......"

"Yang Xingguo's identity is a bandit, and the Russians have no way to vent their anger against Yang Xingguo on the imperial court. After all, it was the Russians who did not allow the imperial court to garrison troops in Liaodong, which led to the emergence of a large number of bandits in Liaodong......"

"If the Russians really want to find a person to vent, they can only find this Yang Xingguo and themselves......"

"However, once the imperial court rewards Yang Xingguo and gives Yang Xingguo an official, the situation will be different......"

"Russians, who have no place to vent their anger, will directly think that what Yang Xingguo did in Liaodong was arranged by the imperial court. At that time, the Russians will put all the blame on the imperial court......"

At this time, Cixi finally calmed down from her excitement.

After some contemplation, I have to admit that what Wang Wenshao said is the truth.

However, for Yang Xingguo, who made himself happy at a critical moment, Cixi still remembered it.

At this time, Wang Wenshao suddenly reminded: "Queen Mother, Lao Chen thinks that the suggestion put forward by Liang Cheng in the secret letter of Anshan County County is very good......"

Although the reward for Yang Xingguo is light, this idea is the most beneficial for the imperial court. What's more, this idea is also very beneficial to you, the Queen Mother........"

"Rewarding Yang Xingguo as an unknown regimental training envoy, what Yang Xingguo did in Liaodong, the imperial court can all be pushed to Yang Xingguo, it is Yang Xingguo's own actions, and it has nothing to do with the imperial court......

"Because, there is no organization in our Great Qing Dynasty, and it is completely spontaneous by the villagers, and the local armed forces used to protect the territory and the people, the imperial court can't control him at all. In this way, it is reasonable for the Russians to vent their anger on the imperial court. ”

"And it is impossible for the Russians to wage war against the imperial court because of this...... Because, Russia is not the only power. The other powers will not sit idly by and watch the Russians dominate in our Qing Dynasty. “

"Of course, if the Russians still want the imperial court to take action, then the imperial court is still the way just now, sending heavy troops into Liaodong to suppress bandits... The old minister is sure that as soon as this suggestion of the imperial court is put forward, the Russians will be gone......"

Cixi nodded in agreement with this statement, and then continued to ask......

"Aiqing, you just haven't said that such a reward will benefit the court and the mourning family......"

Wang Wenshao didn't dare to slack off, and continued: "For the imperial court, such a reward can tell the people of the whole world that the imperial court is not ignorant of the outside of the Guan. As long as the imperial court has the opportunity and strength, it will meddle in Liaodong"

"And the appointment of a regimental training envoy in Liaodong and the formation of a regimental training to protect the territory and the people is the first step for the imperial court to intervene in Liaodong......"

"Secondly, the Queen Mother can directly seal the main battle faction in the DPRK and China through this move, so that they have nothing to say...... This will further strengthen the Empress Dowager's prestige and prestige in the imperial court......"

For an old man, prestige is far more important than power.

So, as soon as Wang Wenshao said the last two benefits, a trace of excitement quickly appeared on Cixi's old face. A pair of eyes also shot out two rays of fine light.

There is no doubt that Cixi at this moment was not only moved by Wang Wenshao's words, but also moved......

After thinking carefully about Wang Wenshao's analysis, Cixi decisively decided: "Just do what Aiqing said...... As soon as the Fengtian General's Mansion arrives, Aiqing, you will start to handle it......"

"In addition, Liang Cheng, the county magistrate of Anshan County, is good, very smart, and the mourning family likes it very much...... Aiqing, this Liang Cheng is a few products, and the mourning family wants to give him a higher product, and as for the official title, he will continue to stay in Anshan County. After all, he already has experience in dealing with relations between Russia and the Qing Dynasty......"

"The old minister thanked the Empress Dowager Long En on behalf of Liang Cheng...... Lao Chen believes that after receiving your grace from the Queen Mother, Liang Cheng will definitely repay the Queen Mother for your heavy reward and love......"

Maybe I usually heard too many compliments, but after Wang Wenshao finished speaking, the expression on Cixi's face did not change in any way.

Because, at this moment, Cixi's mind once again thought of Yang Xingguo, who made her happy.

Falling in love with these ministers who are good at complimenting, Cixi obviously admires Yang Xingguo more for being a true warrior who dares to be a brave man.

Just when Wang Wenshao looked at Cixi, who was speechless, with an embarrassed face, and wanted to take this opportunity to leave.

Cixi suddenly spoke: "Aiqing, the imperial court's reward for Yang Xingguo is still too low......

"The elimination of thousands of old Maozi has brought benefits to the court and the mourning family, far more than the court's reward for him...... In this way, you ask Liang Cheng to give Yang Xingguo a mouth to the mourning family, if he Yang Xingguo can kill another thousand old Maozi in Liaodong, the mourning family will definitely reward him...... When the time comes, the position of the commander of a patrol battalion will definitely be indispensable to his ......."

Cixi admired Yang Xingguo so much, and from the bottom of her heart, Wang Wenshao was very dissatisfied and jealous.

In Wang Wenshao's view, a bandit like Yang Xingguo, who can only kill, will definitely not have a good future. And he killed Lao Maozi, which is absolutely unacceptable to Wang Wenshao, who advocates compromise with the outside world.

However, in order not to disturb Cixi's good mood, Wang Wenshao did not speak out against it.

In Wang Wenshao's opinion, even if Cixi gave Yang Xingguo a guarantee, Yang Xingguo would not be able to do it. Because, it is impossible for Yang Xingguo to survive Lao Maozi's revenge.

As a great power, if it is really so easy to provoke, the court will not be defeated again and again in front of them......

Of course, for an important minister like Wang Wenshao, this kind of dissatisfaction and disacceptance is just a thought. As soon as he left the back garden of the palace, Wang Wenshao's face was shrouded in a smile.

Because, in the duet just now, I also got what I wanted.

not only pushed his henchman Liang Cheng to Cixi's field of vision, but also made Liang Cheng's grade suddenly become a positive five grade, which is not an exaggeration to describe it with the word bumper harvest.
