"What's the matter?" Li Lianying took out a handkerchief, wiped her face quickly, and asked in a dumb voice.

"Second manager, just now Lord Xifo called the sixth and seventh masters...... Wang Dehuan replied in a low voice outside the door, "Manager Liu told you to hurry over......

Listening to Wang Dehuan's answer, Li Lianying couldn't help but feel a pang in her heart.

"Do you know why?" Li Lianying asked.

"I heard that it seems to be for the Japanese to buy warships in England...... Wang Dehuan replied.

When Li Lianying heard that it was not related to Huang Shulan's return to the West, she immediately let go of her hanging heart.

He knew this more clearly.

Not long ago, Guo Yunxian, the minister stationed in Britain, sent a telegram to the Daqian Imperial Court, saying that Japan had ordered three new-type ironclad ships in Britain, and this news gave a great shock to the Daqian Imperial Court, and the Empress Dowager of the two palaces was very worried, and wanted to continue to develop the navy to confront each other. However, due to the lack of national use, he has been discussing measures with Prince Jing and Prince Chun and important ministers in the court for the past few days.

But at this time, it is indeed rare to "call up". It can be seen how worried the Queen Mother is about this.

"You go and tell Manager Liu, I'll come." Li Lianying commanded, Wang Dehuan answered, and retreated.

Li Lianying quickly cleaned up the mourning hall, and bowed to Lin Yizhe's tablet again, and then closed the door and left.

On the second day, Qingqi Garden, Yongqing Changchun.

"Master Weng, do you know what I called you here for today?" Empress Dowager Renxi looked at Weng Shuping, who was prostrate on the ground, and asked coldly.

Seeing that the Queen Mother didn't let herself get up, but knelt down to reply, a hint of foreboding rose in Weng Shuping's heart.

"Back to the Queen Mother's words, the ministers ...... Stupid, please also ask the Queen Mother to make it clear. Weng Shuping guessed in his heart that it might be because of Sun Lihui's excerpt, and his heart couldn't help but hang.

"Yesterday, but a lot of excerpts came up, saying that they wanted to ask Huang Shulan for a mercy ceremony." Empress Dowager Renxi looked at Weng Shuping and said slowly, "There is actually someone in the room who asked Huang Shulan to give the nickname 'Wen Ke', does Master Weng know about this?" ”

"Back to the Queen Mother's words, the minister really doesn't know, but now I hear the Queen Mother talk about it, I know." Weng Shuping heard that the Empress Dowager Renxi's words were not good, so he didn't think about it, and opened his mouth to pick himself clean.

"Oh, what does Master Weng think about this?" The Empress Dowager Renxi still asked in a calm and soothing voice, "I heard that Huang Shulan voted for your protégé post!" ”

Hearing the latter sentence of the Empress Dowager Renxi, Weng Shuping was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Back to the Empress Dowager's words, the minister thinks that although Huang Shulan has a straight name, she is a criminal official after all, and now she is dying on the road, reciting that she has made small contributions, exempting the previous sin, and giving it as a compassionate meaning, it is not impossible, but it is ...... This 'Wen Ke' name is too ......"

Although Weng Shuping knew that the Empress Dowager Renxi might not agree to give Huang Shulan a gift, he still couldn't help but want to fight for Huang Shulan, because if he didn't say a word about it, he would be despised by the children of the sect.

"Humph! Master Weng is his protégé! Empress Dowager Renxi sneered, "If I approve the nickname of 'Wen Ke', what does Master Weng think?" ”

Hearing the words of the Empress Dowager Renxi, Weng Shuping was shocked, and immediately bowed to the ground and kowtowed again and again.

With his cleverness, of course, he heard the meaning of the Queen Mother's words.

The Queen Mother is going to roast him on the fire!

If he agrees with the Queen Mother's "proposal" and gives Huang Shulan the nickname "Wen Ke", then his future future will be explained.

If you don't agree, it will be spread out in the future, and your reputation in Shilin will inevitably be damaged!

Uncle Weng was in a hurry, and blurted out: "Back to the Queen Mother, Huang Shulan is a person with a loss of morality, and the nickname of 'Wen Ke' is not worthy of it!" ”

"Oh? Since virtue is at a loss, why did Master Weng still accept him as a disciple? Empress Dowager Renxi noticed the embarrassment on Uncle Weng's face, and asked again quietly.

"Back to the words of the Queen Mother! That Huang Shulan was originally a disciple of Li Gaoyang! Because of the evil with his classmates, in a fit of anger, he turned to the minister's door! The minister was hindered by the situation, so he accepted his protégé's post, and he was put into the minister's door for only a few days, and the minister had not had time to teach him! He is a virtuous person, ask Li Gaoyang! Weng Shuping turned his heart sideways, and simply pushed Li Gaoyang out as a shield.

"I see." Empress Dowager Renxi nodded, "Master Weng is still an understanding person. She picked up the bright yellow enamel tea bowl, brought it to her mouth and took a sip, then glanced at Weng Shuping, who was sweating profusely, and said calmly, "Master Weng, don't kneel, get up, sit and talk." Come on, show Master Weng a seat. ”

A little eunuch stepped forward to move a porcelain embroidery pier for Weng Shuping, and Weng Shuping thanked him and sat back, only to realize that the underwear on his back was already soaked with cold sweat.

He was secretly glad in his heart, fortunately he didn't get involved with Huang Shulan!

At this time, the little eunuch came to report that the Empress Dowager Ren'an had arrived, and Uncle Weng was shocked again, he wanted to avoid it, but the Empress Dowager Renxi had no intention of letting him retire, and he was inconvenient to take the initiative to retreat, and for a while his heart began to rise again.

"My sister came just in time, I have a few folds here, and it is difficult to decide, so my sister will help me break it." Empress Dowager Renxi welcomed Empress Dowager Ren'an into the door, took her hand, and said with a smile.

Empress Dowager Ren'an smiled and nodded, and when she saw that Weng Shuping was also there, she couldn't help but be slightly stunned. She glanced at Renxi quickly, but didn't say anything.

"I respectfully invite the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother to be blessed with Jin'an!" Weng Shuping hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down to greet the Empress Dowager Ren'an.

"Master Weng, let's get even." Empress Dowager Ren'an said with a smile.

After the three of them sat down, the Empress Dowager Ren'an looked at the Empress Dowager Renxi and found that she looked a little thin again, and her phoenix eyes were also bloodshot, so she couldn't help but ask with concern: "How can my sister describe her being so haggard these days?" Don't read the excerpt too late, right? But you have to pay attention to rest. ”

"Alas! There's no way to do it! Empress Dowager Renxi sighed and said, "After helping the Ryukyus to restore the country, I thought that the Japanese would be able to stop a little, but I never thought that they would order a new type of ironclad warship in England, and it was clear that they were coming for us!" And the navy needs a lot of money, we have to add ships and artillery, now the west expedition back to the Kou, control the Yellow River breach, relief flood and drought victims, everywhere with silver, the treasury is beyond the means, the strong enemy is on the side, the navy can not do it, but how can I be good! ”
