~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Xu Yifan lifted the curtain and glanced out of the car. The streets are full of vendors selling Tianjin Wei pancakes and fruits, boiled and boiled, fried juniper, white cut cakes, sugar villages, bean juice, and coke rings.
The sound of selling high and low is lingering in my ears. One hundred and ten years ago, Yanjing City was gray in color, and the streets were undulating. To the right, there is a corner of the tall, dark front door building. On the left, there is a faintly visible Forbidden City......
Now it is not called the Forbidden City, it is the residence of the Son of Heaven, the center of this empire, and the majesty of the Central Empire.
It is as if you can touch the air with your hand and touch the living history.
I don't know where Tan Sitong found this car, the mule is Yang Liuqing's tall walking mule. Both horses are exactly the same color. A coachman in a red tasseled hat straddles the wheels. No matter how bumpy the car is, the driver is absolutely always a straight line from the backbone to the hat.
Xu Yifan has seen this name from the book, and it is called a stick of incense in the sky. A good coachman pays attention to this prettyness.
Occasionally, chariots and horses came over, some gorgeous and some ordinary, and the iron hoops on the wheels ploughed the ground in a daze. Occasionally seeing a big car with purple reins, Xu Yifan seemed to have discovered something, and asked Tan Sitong in the same car a little excitedly: "Which prince and minister?" ”
It was Tan Sitong who answered him with a look of disgust: "Red Xianggong! A group of rabbits finish their evenings and go back during the day. Now the real princes and ministers, who would dare to use the purple reins? ”
There is also a corpse of a winter road dump carried out by the officials of the Shuntian Mansion from the corner of the alley, with a face full of blue and gray, a face of smoke and flags, and people carrying cages and birds slowly swaying towards the teahouse. Listless, wearing spiked shoes, and swallowing a mouthful of cooked cigarette bubbles from time to time, the infantry Yamen patrol soldier Ding ...... Together with the long gray city walls. It's so overwhelming that people can't breathe.
Xu Yifan yawned, he really didn't sleep well last night. Today is the first time he has seen an important person in this era. Although I made up my mind not to sell myself or take refuge, I was still a little apprehensive about participating in history.
In addition, the two little girls in the back room who don't deal with each other seem to have been whispering and whispering. Chirping like a flock of ducks in the head of a meeting. For the first time, he seriously considered whether to buy a big house according to Zhang Yu's words. Stay a little farther away, and see how noisy you are!
When Tan Sitong came to invite him with a straight face, he yawned like a big cigarette and went out. Tan Sitong's face was very ugly, probably because he had opened his mouth to solicit for Old Man Weng intentionally or unintentionally in the past two days, but he didn't deal with it very seriously. In addition, he has always guarded Chen Luoshi's unproductive appearance. Let this turbid son who aspires to the world lose his emotions.
Coming all the way in the car, Tan Sitong had that iron-faced face. Xu Yifan was too lazy to take care of it, and opened the curtain from time to time to look around, but he was also happy.
The car went all the way, and Xu Yifan could take a full look at the scenery of the alley that was almost demolished now. Seeing that the car gradually entered the inner city from the outer city, it bypassed Shichahai and went straight to a mansion surrounded by mountains and rivers in the west.
The more Xu Yifan looked, the more familiar he became, the mansion that was getting closer and closer was dark and gloomy, the door was wide, and the door was full of guards with lapis lazuli roofs. Row after row of bolted horse piles, all polished. A few towering locust trees stand. Although it looks a little deserted, that kind of wealth and magnanimity can be compared to an ordinary mansion!
The Duanjun Wang's Mansion that I arrived at yesterday is like a small courtyard house compared to here!
He was stunned, pointing to the mansion with one hand, and looking at Tan Sitong with the other: "This, this, isn't this Cuijin Garden?" Prince Gong's mansion? Didn't you see Weng Zhongtang? How did you get to Prince Gong's mansion? ”
Tan Sitong's face showed a hint of triumph, and he quickly retracted: "Weng Zhongtang is waiting for the car in Prince Gong's mansion, Mr. Xu, your face is not small!" ”
Devil six, Prince Gong Yi! From Xianfeng to the present, decades of history. Which chapter is missing the figure of the sixth son of the Emperor of Light?
He almost became the master of the Manchu Empire, although he failed. However, in Emperor Daoguang's golden reserve, there was an unprecedented single one: the sixth son of the emperor, Yi is Prince Gong. You can see his status. After Xianfeng's death, he assisted Cixi in eradicating Su Shun and other eight ministers, and as the mainstay of the bannermen, he supported the ruined country left by Xianfeng. drove Zeng Hu Zuo Li and these generations of famous ministers. Forced to pay the price of one-fifth of the population reduction of the empire, and played a so-called "Tongzhi Zhongxing".
This lord was also the founder of modern Manchu diplomacy, and the prime minister's yamen for state affairs appeared in his hands. Among the flag people, he is the most aware of the general trend of the world. After Tongzhi, the six devils are too high and too powerful. Cixi finally found a reason to drive him out of the center, and he counted it on his fingers. It's been seven or eight years.
Although he is no longer in power, his status and prestige are still the first brand among the banner people. Weng Tongyi is also an out-and-out Six Masters Party. At the beginning, I was swept away from the Prime Minister's national affairs yamen with the old man.
Xu Yifan knows his weight, a small prefect who has just been donated, because a book is a little famous. is quietly fumbling and prying the corners of these flag men. Today, it is a military aircraft walking in the middle hall, and a current first prince of the Qing family is waiting for him!
He vaguely felt that history seemed to be somewhere, and he was gently slapped by his little butterfly.
Today, the palace is really waiting for him, the new philosopher of the East.
Tan Sitong got out of the car with him at the door, and he didn't give a single door bag. So he invited the neatly dressed palace guards in. All the way through the main hall, the apse, the extension of the building, straight to the back garden.
Xu Yifan also visited this garden back then. Walking with a large group of tourists, sweating profusely. The tour guide also held an electric horn and shouted hoarsely: "Keep up with the ones behind!" ”
Today, walking through it, the ground is swept spotlessly clean. The curtains of the houses are hanging low, and the snow on the lawns and rocks on both sides has not disappeared. A maid in soft-soled shoes walks with her head down. His own footsteps seemed to stir up empty echoes in all directions.
The two experiences are like ...... No, it's the next world.
I was about to finish a long walk and arrive at the entrance of the back garden. Looking up, a cornice is in the middle of the mountain rocks. Upstairs, it seems that someone is adjusting the palace manager. A soft, gentle voice sings slowly.
"The water is surging and the mountains are stacked, where is the young Zhou Lang? Unconsciously ashes. Poor Huang Gai turned injured, and the broken canopy was extinct for a while. Only this fierce soldier river is still hot, so it is good to teach me to be miserable, (cloud) This is not a river, this is the endless blood of heroes for 20 years! ”
In the sound of the piano, Xu Yifan couldn't help but look back at the corner of the cornice.
After a few turns, we were already in front of a pavilion with Atlantic glass windows built on the surface of the lake.
The guards who led them walked a few steps, and then stood in front of the hanging bamboo curtain and whispered: "Master, the guest has arrived." ”
Laughter rang out inside: "Please! ”
Walking into the pavilion, Xu Yifan suddenly felt that the warmth was hot.
In this year, Yanjing City was much colder than his time. Wearing a suit of leather and mink fur can't stop it.
The pavilion is extremely bright, and the view of the lake in winter is bleak and desolate on all sides. Broken lotus root and residual lotus, all over the eyes. There must be a dragon under the house, and the fire is burning vigorously, but there is not a trace of smoke.
Two old men sat across from each other around a red clay stove. An old man sat up straight, with a stern look on his face, the corners of his mouth bent down, and a sparse beard. The triangular eyes are all shining. Seeing Xu Yifan come in, there was no movement at all, just looking him up and down.
Another old man is very much described as Qingzhi, Aixinjueluo's unique convex head, flat face and thin eyes. Lean comfortably on the chaise longue. In such a warm room, he also wore a purple fox fur sleeve. Under his feet were two delicate and lovely little girls, gently pinching his feet. There were also two identical-looking twin maids standing behind him and beating him on the shoulder.
Even the little girl kneeling in front of the red clay stove is also a rare beautiful little beauty.
Before he could answer, Xu Yifan felt like a confidant in his heart to this old man, it is not easy to be a brother, I finally met someone with similar aesthetics in this year!
When the old man saw them come in, he was much more accommodating than the one who sat upright. On the recliner, he bowed and bowed slightly: "Please sit down, please sit!" The room was warm, and the two of them sat down and spoke slowly. The old man is a little interested in talking today, but the two of you are tired...... Which one is Mr. Xu, the new philosopher of the East in the mouth of Europeans for ten years? ”
He asked slowly, and the two little twin girls behind him came over and bowed their heads to untie the horse coats for him and Tan Si. That kind of soft and cautious look made Xu Yifan's heart itch.
One day, Lao Tzu will also get a pair to decorate the heroic atmosphere!
I was so stunned that I almost forgot to answer. The old man sitting upright coughed. Xu Yifan reacted, smiled and arched his hand: "Brother is." ”
The two little girls untied their coats and smiled at the guests. Turning away, the twins were no more than fourteen or fifteen years old. His skin was as white as jade, and he smiled with a shallow dimple on the left side of one cheek and one on the right. It made Xu Yifan's heart flutter again. Quickly reined in his thoughts.
The rich old man who asked also smiled, and didn't care about Xu Yifan's random surname. Wave them to sit down. The old man on the opposite side smiled and said: "This is Weng Tongyi Weng Zhongtang, I am Yi Lao Liu, and some people also call me Devil Six." A few days ago, we all read Mr. Xu's video of his heart in Europe, and I have been doing diplomacy all my life. But if you can tell the English France, you know that they are working together to suppress us. Li Hongzhang is afraid that he understands a little more, but it is also limited. After reading Mr.'s book, a lot of things turned out to be a surprise...... The dynasty has been in power for more than 200 years, and now it has encountered such a situation. The treaties I signed with my own hands are not old and young...... Anyway, now I don't have the right to have no position, and I am wearing such an iron hat. So dare to ask this sentence......
How many years does my flag man have, in my husband's opinion? ”
