These people began to appeal to the imperial court, contact and protect overseas Chinese, and use overseas Chinese capital to revitalize the country, and Ding Yusheng was an outstanding representative of them. The policy of the cadre government toward overseas Chinese began to change from laissez-faire to protection and management. In this process of change, Ding Yusheng, as the pioneer of the establishment of the Chinese Soil to protect overseas Chinese, can be said to have played a vital role in promoting.

But this time, the main purpose of his recital on the navy's protection of overseas Chinese was to protect Lin Yiqing.

In view of this situation, Ding Yusheng played the card of "protecting overseas Chinese," and in the name of protecting the overseas Chinese in Japan, the imperial court dispatched the main force of the shipmaster and sailor division to the Ryukyu area of Japan to garrison and patrol in the vicinity of Japan.

Because only the main force of the shipmaster and sailor was dispatched, the Russians did not dare to kill Lin Yiqing easily!

At this time, Ding Yusheng's mind was already on how to protect Lin Yiqing.

Ding Yusheng wrote the manuscript after a short time, and was reviewing it, Xu Rui hurriedly walked in with a telegram.

"My lord! Thousands of joys! As soon as Xu Rui entered the door, he said happily.

"Oh, Mr. Xu, where does the joy come from?" Ding Yusheng asked.

"Lord Guo from London called, there is news about the second lady of the Seventh Master's family." Xu Rui said and handed the telegram in his hand to Ding Yusheng.

Hear Xu Rui's words. Ding Yusheng endured the excitement in his heart. He took the telegram and looked at it.

It turned out that Ding Yusheng was the daughter of Ding Leisheng's seventh brother. Named Ding Luhua, lost on the dock a few years ago, according to the servant's report, said that he saw her on the dock, because an unfamiliar man carried on the ship to England, this girl was originally a twin sister, lost is the younger sister, the sister is still alive. After Ding Lei lost his daughter, he has been mourning for life, so that he is sick, Ding Yusheng has inquired in many ways, but there has been no news.

In fact, another important reason why Ding Yusheng cares so much about overseas Chinese is that he himself has a painful pain about it!

The abduction of girls from Middle-earth by foreigners like this is actually widespread in Middle-earth! Not only the children of ordinary people's families, but even the children of official eunuchs are not immune.

Far from it. In the eleventh year of Xiang Tongzhi, the "Mayesi" incident occurred in the port of Yokohama, Japan, although with the help of the Japanese government. The Qianguo side rescued all the abducted Chinese and Turkish workers, but there was still a little girl who was smuggled away by the captain of the ship, and her whereabouts were unknown (because the little girl could move freely on the boat, and her face was ruddy, she was not abused, and the Japanese officials did not take her off the ship, but the captain secretly took her away when he fled Japan).

Guo Yunxian served as the first minister of Daqian to the United Kingdom, when passing through Fuzhou, when Ding Yusheng set up a banquet for him, he entrusted Guo Yunxian to help find out the news of his niece Ding Luhua in the UK, at that time, Ding Yusheng also asked Guo Yunxian to help with the idea of giving it a try, he also knew that Britain was big, and finding a little girl was like looking for a needle in a haystack, just to ask Guo Yunxian to pay attention to it in his spare time, but he never expected that Guo Yunxian would find out the news of his niece!

After Ding Yusheng read the telegram several times, he was convinced of the fact that his niece had found it, and he couldn't help but cry with excitement.

"Lord Guo said in the telegram that the girl is in the home of Chen Tingxuan, the leader of overseas Chinese businessmen, although she is a companion maid, but Chen is kind to her, and she is the companion of her grandson. What a joy! Xu Rui smiled and congratulated Ding Yusheng. Adults can quickly call back to Mr. Guo! And it was done! ”

"What the gentleman said is true, it is indeed joy from heaven! It's just that...... Call back and don't be busy for the time being. Ding Yusheng was happy, as if he remembered something, and his face looked a little gloomy, "I'll go back and tell Lao Qi about this, let him make his own decision, Mr. will help me look at this manuscript first, polish it, and I can play the court as soon as possible." As he spoke, he picked up the manuscript he had just written and handed it to Xu Rui.

Xu Rui couldn't help but be a little strange when he heard Ding Yusheng's answer, but he didn't ask more, but took the manuscript handed by Ding Yusheng and read it.

Xu Rui only glanced at the title, and knew that this manuscript was written for Lin Yiqing, he thought of the deceased Lin Yizhe, and his heart was sad, but he could also know from this that Lin Yiqing would return to China soon.

Thinking that he would soon be able to meet Lin Yizhe's twin brother Lin Yiqing, it was like seeing Lin Yizhe in person, and his heart became happy again, and he immediately focused on the draft, and Guo Yunxian's return call was put aside for the time being.

United Kingdom, London, Qianguo Legation.

In the middle of the night, Guo Yunxian, the envoy of the Qianguo State to Britain, was suffering from nightmares.

……

In a morgue at the Metropolitan Police in London, a British forensic doctor shook his head, shrugged his nose and covered the body with a white cloth. One of his assistants was sorting through the corpse's belongings—a broken paper fan, a small snuffbox, a warm hat, a pair of gloves, a bunch of keys, a broken gray stone seal.

The assistant looked carefully at the odd text on the seal, which was already mutilated, shook his head, and set the seal aside.

The detective nodded, and stretched out his hand, asking Guo Yunxian to step forward, the forensic doctor reached out and carefully uncovered the corner of the white cloth covering the corpse, and a foul smell came out, Guo Yunxian frowned, gently waved his hand in front of his nose, and then stepped forward to look at the corpse's face, and nodded sadly.

The forensic assistant showed the seal to Guo Yunxian, although the handwriting was already a little blurred, Guo Yunxian still recognized the two seals engraved on it, "Confucianism", and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

After taking care of Liu Xihong's funeral, Guo Yunxian returned to the embassy, and his mood could not be calm for a long time.

He had already guessed who caused Liu Xihong's death.

He then went to Chen's house.

Entering the living room, Chen Tingxuan seemed to know what Guo Yunxian was going to say, so he retreated left and right.

Only Chen Tingxuan and Guo Yunxian were left in the hall. Guo Yunxian showed the "Times" of the day to Chen Tingxuan.

"Why does Gong Chen want to be like this?" Guo Yunxian asked bluntly.

"For you, Gong Guo." Chen Tingxuan met Guo Yunxian's gaze. Frankly. "This person is the eyes and ears of the stubborn and conservative ministers of the DPRK and China arranged by Guo Gong's side, and Guo Gong must know it in his heart. There are people in the DPRK and China who want to be unfavorable to Guo Gong, and if this person does not go, Guo Gong will not be able to display his role in Britain for a day, and we and other overseas businessmen will never have a bright day. ”

Listening to Chen Tingxuan's unjustified answer, Guo Yunxian was speechless for a while.

Guo Yunxian devoted himself to Western learning, and in the struggle between the Westernists and the diehards in China, he spared no effort to defend the Westernists with his knowledge. Become an important member of the Westernists. The news of the dispatch of an envoy from Middle-earth to Britain spread and caused an immediate uproar. Because for thousands of years, the civilization of Middle-earth has been radiating from all directions with its splendid splendour, attracting "all directions to come to the court", and other countries are "vassals" of Middle-earth, and "tribute envoys" are regularly sent to Middle-earth to worship, and there is absolutely no such thing as sending envoys from Middle-earth to "stay abroad". In the traditional concept of Middle-earth, there is only a "rational domain" that embodies the relationship between the clan (Middle-earth) and the vassal (foreign), and there is no equal "diplomacy". In modern times, although Middle-earth has been repeatedly invaded by foreign powers. However, this concept of "diplomacy" has not changed, and the presence of foreign envoys in China and the dispatch of foreign envoys in China and Turkey are regarded as a great shame and humiliation that greatly harms the national body. More people even think that going overseas is a "ghost". Like traitors, some people also made up a couplet and scolded: "Out of its kind, out of its class, not allowed in the world of Yao Shun; If you can't help people, you can do ghosts, why go to the state of your parents! At that time, the Hunan gentry with strong conservative sentiment were even more excited, thinking that Guo Yunxian's trip would disgrace the face of Hunan people, and they wanted to expel him from the province, and even threatened to smash the Guo family.

Under such tremendous pressure, Guo Yunxian sued for illness several times, but was not approved. Empress Dowager Renxi personally summoned Guo Yunxian to appease. Guo Yunxian's intention to resign was completely dispelled. Before Guo Yunxian's departure, the imperial court was invited by the Prime Minister Yamen to send Guo Yunxian to the General Administration of the diaries and other diaries recorded along the way. After Guo Yunxian arrived in London, he immediately sent his extremely detailed diary for dozens of days entitled "The Journey to the West" to the General Administration. However, as soon as Prime Minister Yamen published this book, it immediately attracted wave after wave of verbal criticism from the stubborn old-fashioned people in the government and the opposition, and even demanded that the book be destroyed and banned!

"Guo Gong knows that overseas Chinese businessmen such as us have been discriminated against in the UK, have endured humiliation for many years to start a business, and have gone through hardships to have today's meager status." Chen Tingxuan said earnestly, "We look forward to a good minister from our homeland every day who will take care of us and make decisions for us and other overseas Chinese people. The moment the old man saw Guo Gong, he decided that Guo Gong You, you are a person who can make decisions for Chinese businessmen such as me. ”

"Guo Gong is a loyal elder who always treats others with sincerity, but others may not be willing to treat Guo Gong like this." Chen Tingxuan said, came to the table, opened the drawer, took out Liu Xihong's telegram, and handed it to Guo Yunxian.

Guo Yunxian took the telegram and only glanced at it, and his face immediately changed. He put the telegram into his sleeve, said goodbye to Chen Tingxuan, and left in a hurry.

When Guo Yunxian rushed back to the embassy, he walked straight to Liu Xihong's room.

The door of Liu Xihong's room was locked, and Guo Yunxian took the key found from Liu Xihong's body, opened the door, and walked in.

Guo Yunxian walked straight to Liu Xihong's bookcase, at this time the bookcase and the study utensils were placed neatly, and it didn't seem to have been used, Guo Yunxian looked at the bookcase and found a beautiful small wooden box locked, he took out Liu Xihong's bunch of keys, found a few small keys and tried it, and opened the wooden box.

In the wooden box was Liu Xihong's unfinished manuscript, Guo Yunxian picked up the manuscript and read it.

“…… The foreigners' businessmen and the government, the officials and businessmen defend each other, and the capital and business forces are used to raise soldiers, and the law is better than that of Middle-earth, and the situation is very different. The so-called lord of the country by foreigners is nothing more than the first thing in the country; The so-called officials are no strangers to the rich people in the township. The lord of the country is elected by the public, and he undertakes the affairs of a country with a certain share, and cannot arbitrarily decide his affairs. …… Middle-earth is the home of the world, which has been more than thousands of years, the government decrees are unified in one respect, the wealth belongs to one person, the system of respect and humility is very strict, and the flow of farmers, workers and commodities is of various factions. The way of Yidi cannot be applied to Middle-earth. The rule of Middle-earth must be governed by the imperial court. However, Guo Yunxian actually wanted to make overseas Jia Jia an official, manipulate the business authority, and did not think about state affairs at all, and vainly said that the political system of the Western Kingdom was superior to that of Middle-earth, and wanted to change the Xia with raze, so that the affairs of the ministers of Middle-earth would be heroic......"

"Guo Yunxian traveled to the Jiadun Fort, and he actually wore foreign clothes, and he froze to death. Nor should you put on ......"

Guo Yunxian saw that the Brazilian lord stood up without authorization. The Celestial Empire. Why pay tribute to the lord of a small country? ”

"Listening to music in the Birkin Palace, Guo Yunxian repeatedly read the music list, imitating what foreigners do......"

"Guo Yunxian admires the behavior of foreigners, uses umbrellas without fans, imitates foreigners are still right, and instead of tea, he uses silver plates to serve sugar and cheese foreigners...... violated Cheng Zhu and wanted women to learn foreign languages and listen to operas. …… All kinds of paradoxes are outrageous...... This Jingshi also refers to a traitor. I will not tolerate it! ”

After Guo Yunxian finished reading Liu Xihong's unfinished recital, he was furious for a while, he held on to the table hard, stabilized his body, and finally didn't let himself fall.

At this time, his ears were full of echoes such as "Yiyi Becomes Xia" and "Traitor".

This reverberation became louder and louder, and gradually merged into a torrent, like a landslide and tsunami, enveloping Guo Yunxian in the middle, unable to himself.

……

Guo Yunxian shouted. He straightened up and woke up from his dream.

"Sir! What happened to you? Having nightmares again? A gentle voice rang in my ears. Then a pair of delicate and delicate thorns gently stroked his forehead.

"yes...... In the past few days, I have always been ......frightened by dreams" Guo Yunxian turned his head and saw the beautiful Mrs. Liang, the unhappiness caused by the nightmare instantly dissipated, and he replied casually, but his voice still seemed very unnatural.

"If you have any troubles, you might as well tell me, you always hold it in your heart, and it's easy to get sick." Liang noticed the gloomy color on Guo Yunxian's face, said softly, helped him lie down again, and covered him with a quilt.

"I know...... But there are some things that you still don't know......" Guo Yunxian held Liang's hand, looked at her eyes like a bay of clear water, and couldn't help but sigh.

Guo Yunxian's marriage to the Liang family can be said to be quite accidental.

Guo Yunxian's original partner died early, although he had many concubines, but no one was with him. As early as when Guo Yunxian regained and got His Majesty's will to leave Hunan, he had asked the Feng family and other concubines, who was willing to accompany him into Beijing, Feng was a rural woman, and had never gone out, although he wanted to go out to see it, but because he was small, he was inconvenient to move, and he couldn't stand the fatigue of the carriage and horses, so he refused politely; Another concubine, Qian and Guo Yunxian, were having an awkward quarrel, so they naturally didn't want to go out, and the only concubine Zou who had gone out and seen the world passed away again, so Guo Yunxian had to go to Beijing alone.

During his stay in Beijing, relatives and friends learned about the situation in Guo Yunxian's family, and they were enthusiastic about him, especially after the news that he would be appointed as the second envoy to a foreign country after Hong Yun, some friends who knew about the situation in foreign countries asked him, as an envoy of a country, to the place where the envoys of all countries gathered, people were crowned with crowns, Mrs. Miss, luxurious and rich, you are alone, but what should you do? I heard that in the diplomatic field, people have a wife, and you have to be accompanied by a lady, before the banquet, this is the rule and etiquette. Guo Yunxian asked this question. My friend said again, now is the time when you need to renew the strings, why don't you hurry up and marry a better one? What this good woman in the world has is that as long as you nod your head, these people will do it for him.

Guo Yunxian nodded and entrusted the matter to a few friends. A few friends were enthusiastic about inquiring, and soon found a loyal family surnamed Liang in Xicheng, Beijing, Liang is the eldest of the three daughters of the family, no one in her family has ever been an official, Uncle Liang in addition to driving a boat to make a living, on weekdays ready to sell some sugar gourds or something, sell some briquettes and cabbage in winter and spring, there is no shortage of use, but there is not much money to spare, and the life is dull. But the eldest daughter of the Liang family was born very beautiful, a long braid is the longest of all the girls in Xicheng, how tall her body is, how long the braid is, a pair of big eyes are smart, and the skin is also white and pure, she is ingenious, diligent and meticulous, and the sugar gourd made is sold from Xicheng to Dongcheng, and she actually relies on such a handiman to support half of the family, so there are many people who come to the door to propose, but she has not mentioned her life's major events until she is in her twenties, in this era, she can be said to be an old girl in her twenties. Many people asked her what exactly she was waiting for? She just smiled and didn't answer.

On this day, a friend of Guo Yunxian handed a message to the Liang family through an acquaintance of an acquaintance and a friend of a friend, asking if Miss Liang would like to go to a foreign country to see another world. Uncle Liang doesn't expect these things, thinking that the poor family's duty is a little better, and the Liang girl is not used to having such dreams, but when the Liang family inquired, it was to tell a minister that they were going to go abroad to be a messenger, and the three daughters of the Liang family were very happy when they heard it, and the little sister said that the sister was good, and Uncle Liang was stupid, saying that it sounded like a dream. The second sister was down-to-earth, and secretly went to see Guo Yunxian with the people who came, and came back to say that although the person seemed to be so many years older, he looked very blessed, and he was said to be a very learned person. And she asked to understand that her sister used to be a continuation wife, not a concubine, and a second-grade lady who was not adulterated, and went to England.

Listening to the second sister, Liang's sister didn't say anything.

Later, under the Zhang Luo of a friend, Guo Yunxian married the Liang family and entered the door, worshiping heaven and earth, worshipping the high hall, and worshipping the husband and wife, all of which were the same set that the Ming media was marrying, and the family could not put aside a few tables of banquets, went to the big restaurant, and set up more than 20 tables of banquets, half of which were neighbors, and the other half were red, blue and white tops, many of which were inserted with flower feathers, which were not only civil marriages, but also official weddings, and the street where the Liang family was located had never been so lively in this life.

To say that Guo Yunxian is very satisfied with this family business, it can be said that he couldn't be more satisfied. Although this beauty is from the Central Plains, she is like a Bo person, with a pair of unwrapped feet, and she will not twist and pinch when she walks.
