Chapter Fifty-Nine: The Queen Mother of the Two Palaces

"Hearing that the holy oracle talked about the sailors, Pei Lun's foolishness, I want to ask the public to consider this matter first, set up the Beiyang Naval Division, and let it patrol the three mouths and survey the situation of the fort,...... There was a shortage of water divisions in Tianjin, and there was a Bohai Sea Division, and the Quanlong was cut intermittently, and the Green Camp Water Division was re-established in Jiaqing, and the general army was stationed in Xincheng, and it was also cut and merged. Denglai Lushun is divided and combined, and it seems that each of the three provinces should set up a member of the general army of the naval division, which is controlled by the commander, and the commander is controlled by the minister of Beiyang. The coastal forts must be under the jurisdiction of the commander, so that they can be united. The Admiral was stationed in Lushun, so that he could settle the provincial duke, and it was in harmony with the original proposal of the spring. If the coastal defense is set as an economic system, the purchase of iron ships, the establishment of forts, the reduction of camps, and the establishment of boats will all have masters, and they will not be suspended. …… This move is a conspiracy in our public office and a matter of urgency in Haiphong......"

Zhang Peilun finished reading these masterpieces of the year, put them on the table, and then took another manuscript and looked at it carefully.

"For the sake of the sick place, I am afraid that I will not be able to answer the grace of heaven in this life, so I kneel down on the testament, and respectfully ask the holy contemplation: the thief is deeply favored by the talent, and he originally hoped that the heavens would leave for more than a year, and he tried to report it. The memorial minister rose up as a harbour master to supervise the construction of the 'Wan Nianqing' steamship and was promoted to the post of harbour master. Under the order, I am grateful and grateful, which is easy to describe! Although the minister tried his best, he could not repay in case. …… In view of the weakness of the country, the Empress Dowager decided to adopt the Western Law in order to improve herself. Over the years, there have been many reforms. …… Since last year, the old illness has occurred from time to time, barely supported, two months ago, asked for leave to open a vacancy, the queen mother sent a waiter to condole, rewarded ginseng, preached peace of mind conditioning, the illness is marketing leave, the mind is stacked, helpless ministers are about to end, the illness has not healed for a long time, coughing and wheezing recently, shortness of breath, has been on the verge of dying. A breath remains, and I hope that the Empress Dowager will make every effort to continue the new policy, so that Middle-earth will turn weak into strong, and confront the eastern and western countries. ”

"The minister is a scholar, known by the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, tired of sending heavy loads, internal counsellors, and external chief teachers, although the horse leather shroud, what is the hatred! Navy, Middle-earth is also a key to the strength of Middle-earth. This time, Japan invaded the sea, and the ministers and governors only won a small victory, and failed to stretch out the attack. ”

"Fang is now at the beginning of the Western Regions, thinking about the East, and looking around. If you don't make up for it together, you will seek Ai in advance, and then there will be a gap, the weaker it will be, the more difficult it will be, and the more difficult it will be to excite it, although you can't get it today. If the minister knows that after the minister goes, the navy will be destroyed, and the minister will not forget it day by day, and there is no such thing in the navy so far! And the foolishness of earnestness means that the navy must not give up halfway, and Japan must not despise it! The ministers wish that the queen mother and the emperor would quickly intervene in the discussion of the navy among the ministers. All railways, mines, and ships and artillery should be held as soon as possible to achieve the effect of prosperity and strength. However, the heart is the foundation of everything, and the minister especially wishes the emperor to be diligent and studying, and there is no chance to slack off; The day is approaching, and the opinions are widely accepted; Shift the expenses that are not urgent to replenish the army, and save useful money to help the times; Unite as one, seek truth from facts......"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ The ministers have been in chaos and can no longer show up, but I hope that my queen mother will become more and more famous, and if she has the wish of the ministers, although the day of death is still the year of life. I hereby submit this testament to the Maritime Affairs Department for delivery. When dying, I pray for forgiveness! Chen Lin Yizhe knelt down. ”

After reading Lin Yizhe's testament, Zhang Peilun's eyes became a little moist.

"Kunyu, with your foresight, you probably know how many people will embarrass the navy when you go, and you wrote such an article to dig a trap for them, right?"

"Kunyu, do you know that you are wrong, you are wrong, you use too much effort on the navy, and you ignore the safety of this body......"

"However, it is no wonder that you have too few people who call this Middle-earth, like you? ……”

"Well, Kunyu, who told you and me to be like each other at first sight, with the same mind? Your wish, I Zhang Yunqiao will definitely achieve it for you! ”

Zhang Peilun said, slammed the case up, and looked out the window at the distant palace under the red sun.

Qingqi Garden, "Yongqing Changchun".

The breeze blows, the Han Lian sings in a low voice with the wind, and the dew rolls back and forth on the lotus leaves like jade plates. Standing in the pavilion, the Empress Dowager Renxi looked into the distance, her eyes full of lotus flowers smiled faintly, and the clear spring was bubbling, as if telling the history of this antique garden and the picturesque scenery.

There are a total of four pavilions here, with different shapes and different shapes, named spring, summer, autumn and winter pavilions. Each pavilion is carved with a variety of things that are clearly representative of each season. The magpie patterns carved on the window lattices and screens of the pavilion are particularly beautiful, and they symbolize happiness, wealth and auspiciousness, and happiness when going out...... The top of the pavilion is also carved with different patterns, which is very exquisite.

Empress Dowager Renxi turned her head to look, there was a courtyard in the east, the courtyard was full of flowers, the flowers were not very big, and the stars were dotted from a distance, and the colors were yellow, red, and white...... It also exudes a burst of fragrance, and the courtyard is magnificently decorated. In the distance, rockeries are stacked on top of each other, like real mountains.

To the north of this garden, there is also a small grove with bamboo, apricot trees, peach trees, hemlock trees, and other trees. In Beijing's hot summer, it's the best place to take shelter from the heat.

The sound of bamboo is like Xiao, the melodious and melodious music is like water and pouring softly, the Empress Dowager Renxi and the Empress Dowager Rentai walked away, the falling flowers were colorful, and the delicate and soft petals danced like dancers...... Through the stone arches, the scenery in front of you is changed, the mountains here are abrupt and rugged, and the stones there are exquisitely poetic, like the ingenuity of nature's skilled craftsmen.

"Yongqing Changchun" this garden, it can be said that the beauty to the extreme, this garden has the gorgeous flowers and grasses full of flowers, with the elegance of green bamboos and falling stones, with the humor of fish play and green waves, and has the beauty of the water hibiscus. Such a garden scene, like a girl in the south of the Yangtze River holding an umbrella, Ling Bo walks slightly, full of poetic and picturesque ancient rhyme.

The fragrance of flowers in the courtyard comes to the face, in this walk, people forget all their troubles, the trees in the woods, tall and straight, extremely luxuriant, there is a hill behind the garden, stand on it and look at "Yongqing Changchun" from afar, just like a beautiful picture, its layout is unified, it is natural, even if it is not standing on the hill to see, it is also a beautiful picture, such a beautiful garden, who will not praise when you see it?

"I didn't expect him ......to go early at such a young age" Looking at this picturesque and dreamlike landscape, the Empress Dowager Rentai remembered who reborn this beautiful garden, and she actually shed tears.
