"Qi Yide, holding my gold medal, immediately led people to surround the imperial dining room, and no one was allowed to enter or leave without my decree. You are in charge yourself, and if there is a violation of the order, you will be cut first and then played. Guangxu paused: "Xiao Kouzi, you go with you, and bring the chief eunuch of the imperial dining room and the relevant people in charge to see me." ”

Guangxu returned to his seat and sat down, and only Liu Mei was on the side of the entire imperial study. Looking at the dishes in the hall, I couldn't help but sigh: "The country has been weak for a long time, and it is still so extravagant here, how can we revitalize the country." ”

"Liu Mei, you will be responsible for my meals in the future. Remember, a bowl of rice is enough. Guangxu pointed to the dishes in the hall: "Go and see how many fake and bad ones there are." ”

Looking at seven or eight people kneeling in front of him, Guangxu didn't say a word. Let people escort them to Cining Palace, of course, before leaving, they didn't forget to bring those "paper" dishes.

Cixi was having dinner in Cining Palace, when a little eunuch came outside and whispered a few words to Li Lianying. Li Lianying was shocked, and the emperor came with troops. Hurriedly reported to Cixi that he knew.

"Lafayette, the door came to report just now. The emperor brought dozens of soldiers and was coming to the garden. Galeries Lafayette, isn't it ......?"

"Whatever you panic, calm the mourning family." Cixi was still eating slowly, and she understood in her heart. This month, the emperor called himself a filial piety. Serve to eat and drink, and ask for instructions to the government. I thought that the emperor would change his mind and obey him. Now it seems that it is nothing more than a weasel giving a New Year's greeting to a chicken -- not well-intentioned. Let people go to Tianjin, it seems that they have found the backstage, and they are going to have a showdown with the mourning family. But just you, the dozens of people, the mourning family hasn't been taken into account yet. Cixi thought of this and snorted heavily.

"Lafayette, the emperor is here." The little eunuch outside came to report.

"Since the emperor is here, let's come in."

I saw Guangxu walking in with a bowl of buckle meat, and he didn't salute. Holding it up, he asked, "Dear Dad, please see how this bowl of dishes is." ”

Cixi said tepidly: "Acceptable." ”

"Li Chenda, present this object to Lafayette for a closer look."

Cixi didn't understand what Guangxu wanted to do, this posture didn't look like someone who came to force the palace. Cixi looked down at the meat in the bowl, touched it lightly with her chopsticks, and then flipped it over: "Fake? ”

"I found it during my son's dinner. And that's just one of them. Liu Mei, tell Lafayette what you found. ”

"This is what the slave maid found in the emperor's meal." Liu Mei pointed to the large and small dishes held by the guards behind him: "A total of seventeen dishes made of paper were found, four dishes that had been rotten, thirty-two dishes that had been left for a long time, and six servants, and the slaves and maids did not dare to determine." It's fifty-nine in total. ”

"Liu Mei, how many dishes are there?" Guangxu asked.

"Back to the emperor, there are just a hundred dishes of all kinds for dinner today."

"Sixty percent. I am the Son of Heaven, and I dare someone to do this under my nose. That Lafayette must be bolder. Guangxu turned his head to look at Li Lianying and asked, "Li Yanda, who is responsible for the meal on the Queen Mother's side?" ”

"Back to the emperor, it's Cui Yugui who is in charge."

"You two check for yourselves to see if this table full of dishes is made of paper. Bring in all the damn minions. ”

After this investigation, a total of 41 dishes, including 10 dishes made of paper, had problems. Cixi sat on the sidelines and watched, her angry hands shaking all the time. Someone dared to play tricks with her: "Okay, all the tricks are under the nose of the mourning family, it's good." Li Lianying, you are so bad. ”

"The queen mother is angry, the slave really doesn't know." Li Lianying fell to her knees, with a lot of tears and snot.

"My father is angry, and my son estimates that Li Yanda may not know about it. Think about it, you are very kind to Li Yanda, how could he do such a thing. Besides, as the chief eunuch, he can't go to check the dishes every day. If it was really the minions below who deliberately hid it from him, how could he know? Dear Dad, you say it's not reasonable. ”

"What does the emperor think?"

Erchen thought that this matter must be thoroughly investigated. For a person who has spent his whole life for the Qing Dynasty, his heart is broken, and he has to worry about the government and politics when he is in his old age, and he is so respectable for the queen mother. Guangxu pointed to the servants of the imperial dining room who knelt on the ground and trembled, and said in a righteous and stern voice: "You still have to do such a thing in Lafayette's diet, you say, where is your loyalty, where is your filial piety, I see that the dog will eat it." ”

After talking too much and being a little thirsty, Guangxu turned his head to Cixi and said, "Erchen thinks that let Li Yanda investigate this matter thoroughly, so that he can see how these slaves are deceived and concealed, so he should be reminded of this." As for Cui Yugui. Erchen thought that he would not be able to escape the involvement. didn't wait for Cixi to speak: "Little Kouzi, take a few to search for Cui Yugui's family background." ”

"Wow." Kou Liancai turned around and ran away with the people.

"Dear father, do you think it's okay for your son to be like this?" After finishing speaking, Guangxu sighed: "Liu Mei, let Xiao Kouzi come back." ”

"No need. Just do it according to the emperor's wishes. Cixi said lightly.

"Dear father, my son is too impulsive for a while. ...... without asking for a will" Guangxu scratched his head embarrassedly.

"The emperor is also filial piety, and the mourning family still understands. These minions...... Cixi said that she was a minion, but what she thought of in her heart was Guangxu.

"Yes. Li Chenda I brought someone to you, you take it down for a while and interrogate it well, and you must give Lafayette an explanation. If you can't get to the bottom of this, I'll be responsible for you. Don't look at it, bring a pair of dishes and chopsticks, I'm still hungry. ”

In this way, only the sound of Guangxu eating was heard in Cining Palace. After a while, Kou Liancai returned.

"Back to Lafayette and the emperor. The servants found a total of 850,000 taels of silver tickets in Cui Yugui's residence, and a total of more than 400 acres of land deeds. ”

"Cui Yugui, it seems that I don't need to say more, you can't escape the involvement. Drag it out. All the goods are poured into Nenu. ”

The night was dark, and when Guangxu left Cining Palace, Guangxu was still complacent about his success in pretending to be stupid again, and this person was 850,000 taels of silver on the surface. There are still seven or eight to be copied. In this way, the money of the new army has been settled. It's so quick to make money from your home. It seems that next time I will find a chance to copy someone again. Who knows, it is precisely because of his performance today that Cixi's suspicion has been aroused. Guangxu forgot that he was just a cross-traveler, and he still had a predecessor before he came.

(People are like that, once they do something difficult, they can become addicted just like drugs.) Many years later, he was nicknamed the "Emperor of the Copying Family", and at the same time, it also made an important model for China's future construction of a clean government. That's for later. ）

Cixi quietly sipped the tea. Since Guangxu recovered from his illness, on the surface, he was respectful and filial to himself, and he was an impulsive teenager who was young and careless. It's very different from before. Abnormality is a demon. Today's events seem to have been done by Guangxu on the spur of the moment, but from the siege of the imperial dining room to the assault on Cining Palace and the seizure of Cui Yugui, everything was arranged in such an orderly manner, and there were no flaws in the action. This is completely different from Guangxu before his illness, which is not something Guangxu can do. It should be said that someone around the emperor taught him this, but the emperor's words and deeds were reported to her, Kou Liancai was sent out from his own family, and the new Liu Mei was only from a poor family. They are all people who don't have the ability to do this. But I didn't see any other newcomers, how the emperor did it. This also puzzled Cixi. Cixi didn't know that now Guangxu had changed people.

Back in the imperial study, Kou Liancai was left alone. Guangxu asked softly: "Has this person Liu Mei checked?" ”

"Please rest assured, the emperor is just a woman from a poor family in Tianjin, her identity is innocent, and she has no background in the palace. Minions can be guaranteed with their surnames. ”

"That's good, in addition, how much property has been found in Cui Yugui's place, at this time, only you and I are the two of you, and you and I can't hide it in the slightest."

"The emperor has wronged the slave this time, and the slave will never hide anything."

Guangxu was furious when he heard this: "You pig, now the palace is complicated, how to open the joints without some money." Some places where money is used cannot be known, and besides, I still want to do some private things, how can I do without some private money. ”

"The emperor didn't say anything, how could the slaves know." Kou Liancai looked aggrieved.

"You are loyal, keep some heart next time. In the future, you can still keep the interception point, but you must report it to me truthfully, and you will make another account. Of course, don't take my words as a life saver, if you let me know that you dare to be corrupt, your family will definitely suffer from you. You get the idea. ”

"The minions understand. According to the emperor's minions, Cui Yugui still has private property elsewhere, is it ...... tomorrow?"

"Of course, this kind of thing needs to be said. I'll do it tomorrow, I will spend what I should spend, and don't be stingy if I should give favors. Guangxu said quietly: "The country has been poor and weak for a long time, but there is not much time to revitalize." ”

"Why should the emperor be troubled, as long as the emperor cheers up, the Qing Dynasty Zhongxing can wait!"

"You won't understand, Jiawu is too close."
