At the dinner table, Cixi and Guangxu gossiped about home. Guangxu also told some jokes from time to time, which made Cixi laugh. Just kidding, these jokes are selected from later classics. What's more, Guangxu is both vocal and emotional. Li Lianying on the side had already suffocated her old face flushed.

In this way, more than ten days passed, accompanied Cixi to listen to the play and visit the garden. I also got some novelties from outside, and while coaxing Cixi to be happy, I also talked about world history and customs from time to time. From time to time, there are also references to the military system and the world situation. Guangxu pretended to be a young man who was harmless to humans and animals and humbly asked for advice in front of his mother. However, Guangxu is full of food, and Chinese food is not covered.

"In order to show his concern for the welfare of his subordinates, the general carried out a surprise attack to visit the soldiers' canteen. In the cafeteria, he saw two soldiers standing in front of a large soup pot. 'Let me taste this soup.' He commanded. 'But, General'' 'Nothing' 'But', give me a spoon! The general took a big sip of the spoon and rebuked, 'It's so unbelievable, how can you give this to a soldier?' It's like brushing pot water! ''I was about to tell you that it was a pot of water, but you had already tasted it,' replied the soldier. Guangxu continued.

"Hahaha...... The Emperor was not allowed to say any more. Where did you hear these jokes, they should be funny. ”

"Smile, ten years less. My father should laugh more, it doesn't look like he's in his early thirties. "As long as a woman is praised to be young, she will definitely be able to make her happy, which is an unchanging rule for thousands of years.

"The emperor will make people happy, you say, what is a general doing in the soldiers' canteen if he has nothing to do, and he still doesn't listen to anyone finish speaking. No, it's a big joke. ”

"Dear father, the armies of the Western powers pay a lot of attention to the ordinary life of soldiers. They paid attention to the fact that officers and soldiers ate and lived together in order to increase the cohesion of the army. Achieve the effect of integrating officers and soldiers in wartime. That's why the combat effectiveness of Western armies is stronger than ours. Erchen heard that this Beiyang soldier is a pistol in one hand and a cigarette in the other. Can such a soldier fight in wartime? This is also where Erchen worries. ”

"I've heard of this, you talk about those foreigners, opium is not allowed to be used by themselves, but they are sold to me in the Qing Dynasty, it can be seen that they are not happy."

"My son has an idea that I don't know if it's right or wrong, and I ask my father to give me advice." Guangxu thought about it and decided to say it, the time before the first day was too short, and the Huaxia clan couldn't wait that long: "Erchen has been reading Western books all over the past few days. It goes without saying that several major powers in the West, such as England, are known as the Empire of Immortality. France also has the first road army in Europe, and the German country can also compete with France, these three countries have one thing in common, that is, the army is in charge of the royal army, although France is called the president, it is not the same as the emperor. All three of these countries are the most powerful countries in the West. And the United States of America is also run by a president. And the nearby Yue Ben is also in charge of the royal army. Guangxu said this and stopped.

Cixi just said lightly: "Speaking of which, the mourning family also wants to know what the emperor thinks after reading these books." ”

Erchen believes that in today's Qing Dynasty, after the Hongyang Rebellion, the governors of various places have formed their own system, and they are also disobedient to the orders of the imperial court, and they have already become a big trend. Now the imperial court relies only on Beiyang, so the imperial court spares no effort to support Beiyang. It is also with the power of Beiyang to take the place. And the Eight Banners, which were the foundation of the Qing Dynasty, have long been powerless to fight. The green camp has long since been eroded. Erchen said something disrespectful, once there is a change in Beiyang, I'm afraid it will ......" Guangxu knelt down as he spoke. To be honest, if Yuan Shikai continued to support the Qing Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty would have lived a few more years.

"The emperor thinks Li Hongzhang has a different heart?"

"Li Hongzhang is loyal, he is absolutely impossible. But he's old. After Li Hongzhang, once he is going to be stolen from a high position by someone with a heart......"

"What does the Emperor think?" Cixi heard this and understood, the emperor had been waiting here for so many days.

"Erchen thinks that a new army should be built in the name of the royal family, and the people who know the soldiers among our people should be the generals, and the Western powers should be invited to teach them. Looking for me all over the world. Truly train an elite division that is truly loyal to my Qing Dynasty. The more Guangxu said, the more excited he became: "With this elite, it can compete with the Western powers on the outside, and it can be Weizhen on the inside." To truly revive my Qing Dynasty. "I'm poor, I made up nonsense for half a month, and I thought it was true. Guangxu thought to himself.

"Who's in charge? Who is the one to teach? What about the charter? The Emperor will talk about it. ”

"This ...... Erchen hasn't thought about it yet. If you dare to think about it, she will dare to abolish you immediately: "Please kiss your father." ”

Cixi smiled, this kind of Guangxu looks like a scheming person, isn't this just a radical and impulsive teenager. There are always a lot of ideas, but they are not organized, and they always do whatever they want. Cixi knew that Guangxu was coaxing herself to be happy, just to show favor to herself, not for the sake of the power of the court. But people are like this, no matter how pretentious he is on the surface, how deliberately he is to flatter. There is still an indescribable relief in my heart. It's like his own son. To also old arms comfort. In the affairs of the court, he said that he was listening to the government. But there are some things that have to be done by the emperor. Besides, the years are not forgiving, and the power of this country is not going to fall on him in the end. Thinking of this, it is better to leave this matter to the emperor to do, first, to see if the emperor can control the court, and second, once there is a change, he will come out and speak.

"Emperor, you are still too young, how can a soldier and a national event be such a child's play." The tone changed: "But the idea is good, so let's discuss it with the emperor and the ministers in the early Ming Dynasty." ”

"Dear father, do you think Ming'er will go with you tomorrow morning, so that you can give your son an idea?" After Guangxu finished speaking, he saw Cixi shake her head. Then he knelt down and said, "Erchen respects his father's will." ”

Back in the evening back to the imperial study, Guangxu sat quietly alone. Tomorrow is the first early dynasty he has crossed into this world, what attitude should he use to face the Manchu Dynasty civil and military. The grandson who has been pretending to be in front of Cixi for so many days, if he is too tough at the court meeting tomorrow, if he attracts the attention of the old lady, the hard work of these days will be in vain. But if you don't say anything, will it make the Manchu civil and military think that I, the emperor, are easy to bully. I thought about it for a long time and didn't figure it out, anyway, I don't have the right to do it now, and I don't have the money to ask for money. There is no one to trust. Just one sentence: be low-key. Let's take a look at the twists and turns, and also have a clue for tomorrow's court. Not to mention anything else, this bit of professionalism is still there.

After a while, a eunuch sent the backlog of recitals, and there was a big stack of good guys. If I read one by one, I won't be able to finish it tomorrow morning. Guangxu casually took a book and opened it. glanced at the eunuch who sent the fold, and asked casually: "What about Xiao Xizi, isn't he serving here?" ”

"Back to the emperor, Xiao Xizi is serving the emperor's meal. This side of the imperial study is served by the minions. ”

"Oh, what's your name?"

"Slave Kou Liancai respectfully invites St. Ann."

Kou Liancai? Guangxu was ecstatic in his heart, didn't someone give him a pillow just after he dozed off.

Kou Liancai was one of the few eunuchs in the late Qing Dynasty who had a strong sense of patriotism and was worried about the danger of the nation. Cixi originally trusted Kou Liancai very much, and asked him to go to Guangxu's side on an errand, so that he could monitor Guangxu's words and actions so that he could report it immediately. But what Cixi didn't expect was that this eunuch with a sense of justice came to Infernal Affairs. Not only did he not report Guangxu's words and deeds to Cixi, but often told Guangxu about Cixi's misdeeds. After the coup d'état, he repeatedly advised Cixi to return to power, stop repairing the Summer Palace, redeem Taiwan, etc., and finally provoked Cixi and was executed because he failed to do so. It can be seen that Kou Liancai is still loyal to the emperor. As long as this person is used well, it will be my first person in the palace. But how do you use it? Guangxu secretly blamed himself: I studied machinery, I haven't learned to govern the country and level the world, this guy can't play things.

"Kou Liancai, are you literate?"

"The emperor can call the slave Xiaokouzi, and the slave can read a few words in the private school for a few days."

"There are too many twists and turns here, you help me select the ones that mention the military affairs first, I want to see them first." Seeing what Kou Liancai wanted to say, he added: "Don't say no, I asked you to do it." ”
