"Guanhou, as soon as Xiaode Zhang came back, he reported to Lafayette. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info you Shandong business is not cooked, even the person who acts to protect the seal has not been arranged, change clothes and enter Beijing, just like a filial son returning to his hometown to visit his sick mother, this kind of heart is now very rare. In Lafayette's life, his eyes are the most powerful and he sees people the most accurately, especially when he looks at you, he is really not wrong. So she also has something to say, so she understands that she wants to say a few words to you and Shigege, so she can rest assured. ”

These words were almost the same as those of Tuogu, which made Yuqing's nose sour for a while, and asked in a low voice: "Uncle, the body of Lafayette is ...... We have so many doctors, there will always be a way. ”

"Ten masters, with you, the slave doesn't have to tell lies. The bad thing is that there are too many imperial doctors, this advocate using black plum pills, and that advocate using aconite soup, each has its own reasons, who can say who is the opposite? Moreover, the medicine in the palace is about peace and stability, and the prescriptions of the cold and heat cannot be used, and the prescriptions of the Tai Hospital, the knives and guns of the Wubei Warehouse, and the tea soup of Guanglu Temple are several useless in our capital. This time, it was fulfilled in himself. Galeries Lafayette also knows in his heart, otherwise, he would not be in a hurry to see you. ”

With Li Lianying's identity, this kind of talk will not be spread easily, you must know that if this word is revealed to the officialdom, there will be a great shake, and it can be seen that he did not treat these two as outsiders. Zhao Guanhou was silent for a while, and suddenly asked, "Chief Manager, have you been to see the house in Jinmen?" If there is anything you are not satisfied with, you can just instruct it, and the subordinate will change it for you. ”

"I've seen the three big bellies, it's good, and it's more than enough for the elderly. I've been in the palace all my life, and I've seen how big a house is, but now at this age, I'm not used to living in a big room, and I'm not comfortable in space. When I was a child, I always wanted to live in a big house, eat and drink spicy food, but now, I just want to live in three rooms, and the family will be together. ”

"Don't worry, I have bought more than a dozen boys to teach them to serve people. It's not comparable to the palace, but it's barely enough, and it's about to be in the eye. Inspector Hua in the concession is a corner dug by foreigners from our Jinmen Police Investigation Bureau, and his skills are learned from me. On the concession side, if Brother Li has any trouble, let him go to the inspector and promise that he will not suffer. ”

Li Lianying coughed a few times, "It's rare that you have a heart, the old slave has been in the palace for many years, and he doesn't dare to make more friends, and he doesn't dare to make fewer friends. But now that I look at it, there is only one real good friend left. It's a pity, it's too late to see clearly, and now the old slave is an old bone, I'm afraid it won't be able to help much. ”

"The chief manager has already helped the subordinate officials a lot, so if you ask for help at this time, won't you see the outside? We are making friends, not asking anyone to do anything, the chief manager treats me as his own, and the lower officials are very happy. ”

The three of them chatted a few more words, and the car had arrived at the Forbidden City. At the beginning, the Yiluan Hall where Wadexi lived had been burned to the ground, and besides, he had a neck-to-neck fight with the Saijinhua Mandarin Duck there, so Cixi naturally couldn't live anymore. The place where she lives now is a new building built in the past two years, called Fozhao Building. This place is a western-style building according to the rules of Taixi, and there are electric lights in it, so that as soon as you enter, there are several electric lights in the room, and it is not dim.

In Cixi's bedroom, there is a photo on the wall of Cixi's birthday. She pretended to be Guanyin Master, Li Lianying pretended to be the protector Wei Tuo, and Princess Rongshou pretended to be the Dragon Maiden of Good Wealth. Cixi regards herself as a Buddha, this Bodhisattva photo is her favorite, but looking at people with photos, it makes people feel more and more that this old woman's limit is approaching and her life will not be long.

Under the dual effects of smoke and diarrhea, the whole person was skinny, the shriveled skin was wrapped in a few weak bones, and the green tendons were exposed, as if there were countless green snakes, coiling in the dry fields. The skin loses its luster, and age spots are particularly conspicuous. A pair of eyes that once made the emperor dare not look directly always seem to be open, and the shrewdness and fierceness in the eyes have disappeared, leaving only the turbid pupils, which are slowly turning.

In the past, the powerful aura that commanded the air and was high above has been taken away by the disease, leaving only an aging and dying body, which may be blown away by a gust of wind at any time and turned into dust.

"Lafayette! Minion...... The minions have come to see you. Yuqing was very affectionate, and when she saw Cixi's appearance, she couldn't help but think of the past when she recognized herself as a righteous daughter and the emperor as a brother and sister in Yulinburg. Tears couldn't help but flow out, and I kept kowtowing in front of the bed.

Cixi's spirit is slightly better than expected, although he is not full of qi when he speaks, but he is closer, he can still hear, and his thinking is relatively clear, and he has not yet reached the point when he can't see things.

"Old ten, are you here? Get down on your knees and let me see you...... Good boy, what are you crying about? The old woman always has to go, look at you, you are getting more and more beautiful every year, what a blessing, if you Ama reported you to the Zongren Mansion and let you enter the sect, I don't know who to point you to, and now you don't have this good look. Look at Rongshou, and then look at you, I'm afraid that this difference will not be one day at a time. …… I originally thought that in the future, I would take another photo, let the Guanhou pretend to be Wei Tuo, and you will pretend to be the dragon girl of good fortune, and stand behind me like this, which is much more majestic than this photo. It's a pity, I'm afraid I won't have this life, this photo can't be seen. ”

"If you can watch, you will be able to watch. Lafayette, you take care of your body and bones, the minions and the crown marquis must dress you up, you have a long life, you can't say something unlucky. ”

"Silly girl, what am I like myself, I don't know yet? What about the crown marquis? You also kneel forward a little bit so that I can see more clearly. ”

Zhao Guanhou knelt forward a few steps as he said, Cixi looked at him for a while, and sighed, "I still remember when I first saw you, I was still in Xiaozhan Qiucao, and you were a plain gold top at that time." But the courage is really big, when a bunch of people dare not speak, you dare to come out and say that the phoenix hairpin landed and returned to Foshan, I knew at that time that you could achieve great things. It's only been a few years, and you're already wearing a bright red top, if it's not limited by regulations, even if it's a gem top, you may not be able to wear it. Lao Shi is worthy of you, but he is not too aggrieved. Actually, my body was not much of a year ago, thanks to you taking back the three provinces outside the Guan, ensuring that there are good old ginseng outside the Guanwai every year to pay tribute, relying on these old ginseng, hanging this vitality, otherwise, I would have to go to see the ancestors and ancestors a long time ago. ”

"Galeries Lafayette is a good person, as long as you recuperate for a while, you will be able to recover as before."

"Recovery, I can't talk about this, I'm afraid that in the past few days, you will all be busy. I have called you here to explain what I should explain and what I should tell you clearly while I still understand. Since I entered the palace, I have worked hard for the sake of Dajin's country, and outsiders praise me and scold me, they just go with him. The eldest brother is young, what kind of ability Xiao Wu is, everyone also knows it in their hearts, so they won't talk about him. Lao Qing's age is also so old, and the future world still has to rely on the crown marquis. The governors of the provinces of Dajin Kingdom, I only believe you. In the past two years, you have made a lot of efforts to run new laws and train new troops, but you have not received many rewards, do you know the reason? ”

"Lafayette, you have rewarded a lot in the past two years, and the minister only feels ashamed of it, and never dares to be too little."

"You don't have to feel guilty, the emperor and I were trapped in Yulin Fort that day, and it was you who led the soldiers to rescue the driver, carry the sword guards, and kill the foreign soldiers. I have always remembered this merit, and a small reward is nothing compared to the merit. Originally, I wanted to reward you more, but the emperor and I are not in good health, and if we want to go one day, we have to leave some opportunities for the new emperor to be a favor. If there is no seal, it will not be easy for the new monarch to do it. So I put you down, just waiting for the new monarch to be promoted. If you were to join the military now, would you be willing? ”

Zhao Guanhou knew that joining the military aircraft at this time was definitely not a good prospect. Once you enter the military aircraft department, you will be tantamount to giving up your basic troops and losing the foundation of military power. Moreover, his own talent is not enough to be qualified for the position of military aircraft, not to mention anything else, it is simply a post, without jade or the old masters ghostwriting, I can't understand what I can't write, and it takes a lot of effort to look at it, how can I do it well.

But at this moment, he must not say a word, otherwise it will inevitably give Cixi the impression that he is in love with military power and refuses to let go. At that moment, he immediately replied, "The ministers all rely on the cultivation of the Queen Mother to have today, and they have never entered the military plane as a person who has never gone to school, which is the glory of the ancestors, and the ministers can't ask for it." ”

"Although you haven't gone to school, you are a governor, and joining the military aircraft is not a violation. But I think that it is useless to let you enter the military aircraft in the right place, and the position that suits you is the governor of Zhili. ”

Although the ministers of the South and the North Ocean have been abolished, the governor of Zhili is still the head of the Xinjiang ministers, and Zhao Guanhou, who is in his twenties, if he is the governor of Zhili, it can be called a precedent for the founding dynasty. Zhao Guanhou kowtowed again to thank him, and Cixi gasped for a while before continuing:

"This errand was reserved for the new emperor to reward after he ascended the throne. But I want to tell you first, you have to be prepared in your heart, and don't be completely unprepared when the time comes, and you won't even be able to take on errands, and that's not good. Today's world is not peaceful, there are foreigners outside, and there are Ge Ming parties in China, all of whom are staring at Dajin's ancestral foundation and want to take a bite. Speaking of which, when there was a lot of trouble with Changmao, Changmaozi fell into Nanjing, the establishment was called lonely, and almost the entire southeast fell into the hands of thieves. But at that time, I didn't think they could achieve any climate, and now the Ge Ming Party has not occupied a city, has not taken a single place, but I always feel that they are the most important trouble...... Perhaps, the world of the ancestors will be destroyed in their hands...... The queen's talent can only be regarded as a middle-aged person, not enough to support this situation, if you want to maintain the country and defeat the Ge Ming Party, you still have to serve as a minister. Guanhou, I am in Japan, you are very faithful, this is very good. When the new king ascends the throne, you must be loyal, but you must not be half-hearted. ”

"Lafayette rest assured, the ministers should do their best, and they will die."

Cixi nodded with satisfaction, "That's good, with your heart, even if I didn't call you in vain this time." The country is actually the same thing. I am the old lady in charge of this family, and I have been in charge of the house for too long, and the people in each room are annoying to me, and I can't wait to be in charge of the house and get the key, and I can do what I want to be the master. As soon as I leave this time, I will let them know how difficult it is to be in charge. Lao Shi is like the eldest lady in this family, and you are the senior teacher of this family. It is said that the eldest lady cannot marry the teacher, but since you have become husband and wife, you, the great teacher, have to bear the burden of a son-in-law. The son-in-law works for half of his son, and the hard work is all his, and his good reputation can't be lost. No matter how well they do, their sons can't look down on their uncle, and if they are a little worse, they will be scolded. But who asked you to marry the young lady of this family, you have to bear it, understand? ”

Zhao Guanhou nodded and said: "The minister understands that being able to marry Gege is the minister's three-life creation. ”

"It's good to know, Xiao Wu and their brothers, they are a little prejudiced against you, don't take it to heart. They are not good uncles who don't know the cost of firewood and rice, how do they know that family affairs are difficult, and they don't know how much hard work it takes to maintain this situation. You don't have the same knowledge as them, put up with a few points in everything, don't read it, don't read it, and also think that the old woman will promote you to this position, and read that the old ten will give birth to children for you, and everything is precious to harmony, and when they are older, they will know who is good and who is bad. In the future, you will be a family, and no matter how good outsiders are, they will all be empty. ”

"Thunder, rain and dew, all are Jun's grace, and the ministers should serve themselves, and they dare not have other ideas."

"Well, I love that. From the time you led the troops to rescue the driver, I knew that you were a pure minister, and when I saw you today, it was still the same. Lian Ying, go and bring my box. ”

Li Lianying didn't go out for a long time, and a few eunuchs moved in Cixi's favorite box. At that time, the jewelry on Cuixi and Fengzhi was taken from here. When I reopened it today, I saw that there was less than a quarter of what was left inside, and most of it was empty. But what is left is also a priceless treasure, shining in the electric lamp, emitting a magnificent light.

"Old ten, in Yulinbao that day, although I recognized you as my goddaughter, I didn't give you any decent meeting gifts. I made up for it today, this box is my favorite thing. It's not about the value, it's about the fact that it's given by the emperor, a little thought. Therefore, as soon as there is something good, put it here, and seeing it is like seeing the emperor. Today I even give you the contents of the box, in the box, there is a photo of me, you think of me in the future, take out the box and look at it, as if our mother is still together. ”

Yuqing was moved to tears again by these words, shook her head and said, "No...... The slave doesn't dare to ask for it, and he can't ask for it, Lafayette has rewarded you a lot in recent years...... The minion only wants a picture of you, these jewelry, the minion doesn't want. ”

"Silly boy, don't you want cheap outsiders?" Cixi's face twitched, probably smiling, but not at all.

"I've rewarded everything I deserve, the queen, Princess Rongshou and Fuzi. Even the one I wore down there was taken out alone. That's all for the rest. It's all my beloved things, and I usually don't want to appreciate them, so I just keep them for myself, but now that I think about it, it's stupid, I can't wear them at all, what's the use of keeping them. You take it and put it on, as if I were wearing it. Guanhou, you move forward, let me ask you, is your military training still enough? ”

"If you go back to Lafayette, the minister will implement the new law in Shandong, and the food and salary will be raised, and the military expenses will be sufficient to cover it."

"It's really rare, when the governors of all provinces see me, they are all saying that they are in difficulty, only you are willing to say that the money is enough. But your money is enough, it is enough to support you from town to town, and I am afraid that if you raise more, you will not be able to do it. Over the years, I have accumulated a little family fund, part of which I want to leave to the new monarch. As an emperor, if he does not have internal funds in his hands, it will be difficult to maintain the country. Another part is to reward you with this great teaching, you use this money to give me a good training team, protect the foundation of this ancestor, don't let it be ruined like this, I will hand over the country of Dajin to you. (To be continued.) )
