【195】The Three Armies of the Galaxy Shadow Shake (23)

"Smack!" A jade Ruyi was smashed heavily on the smooth and clean gold brick floor.

Cixi wrung her eyebrows, and pointed at the group of ministers standing in front of her with a painful halberd and said:

"You are talking! How not to speak! ”

Prince Gong Yixin had a gloomy face, and said cautiously: "The Queen Mother is angry, and today the disaster caused Xiao Wall, just because Ding Baozhen misled the country and recognized the thief as loyal." That Yao Fan's wolf son has been planning for a long time, and he has been preparing for the rebellion for a long time, and the court is too sudden to change the chaos, and it is really unimaginable for a while. ”

Cixi said angrily: "Unthinkable? The imperial court has raised so many of your ministers for nothing, and this is how you serve the emperor? In order to assist the emperor and protect my country, I will rely on you in everything! All things are up to you! You said that you wanted silver, so I approved the issuance of treasure money, you said that you wanted foreigners to help, I approved the "Treaty of the Yunnan Case", you said that the rubber thief is a problem of ringworm, so I asked Zuo Zongtang to continue to stay in Xinjiang.

Now that Yao Fan thief has been fattened by you, you should be satisfied! Tell me how you can put down this Shandong chaos now! ”

As soon as they heard Cixi's remarks accusing everyone of raising thieves and self-respect, the ministers were even more afraid to speak out. After half a ring, Shen Guifen, the secretary of the Ministry of War, stepped forward, bowed worriedly and said: "Empress Dowager Qiyu, that Yao Fan is as powerful as a broken bamboo, unstoppable, his subordinates are full of thieves, firearms are sharp, and cannons are like forests. ”

After venting just now, Cixi finally suppressed her anger, and she raised her hand: "Show Lord Shen a seat." ”

Li Lianying hurriedly instructed the little eunuch to move the chair in and gently put it behind Shen Guifen's buttocks.

The ministers knew that Cixi was showing them what she was doing, which meant that they should hurry up and offer advice.

Shen Guifen was about to kneel down to thank him, but Cixi waved her hand: "Don't be formal, Lord Shen quickly sat down and said, how can you retreat from the thief." ”

Shen Guifen put her half-pulled ass on the chair, lowered her head and said softly: "This plan is not difficult, Weichen has also offered it before, but that Yao Fan is really rampant, and he wrote the "Revolutionary Army" that contradicts the norm to spread it, and the matter of recruiting an will be over." But now when the court is in danger, the minister has to risk death to recommend each other and ask the queen mother to start recruiting again. ”

As soon as he heard Shen Guifen say the word "Zhao'an" again, Cixi's face was distorted, and he was so angry that he couldn't speak, and turned his head to look at the ministers in the Xinuan Pavilion. I didn't see anyone squeak for a long time, so I had to grit my teeth and say, "Hasn't Lord Shen seen the "Revolutionary Army"? Yao Fan is a rebellious minister and thief! Could it be that Lord Shen still thinks that he will submit to the imperial court?! ”

Shen Guifen knew that Cixi was annoyed, and said in a panic: "If the Queen Mother wants the old minister to immediately say a strategy to destroy the thief, the old minister really can't say it for a while, but since it is a strategy to retreat the thief, the old minister thinks it might as well give it a try." If this plan can temporarily retreat the thief, the matter of exterminating the thief should be slowly planned. ”

"Humph!" Cixi snorted coldly, obviously extremely angry in her heart.

Shen Guifen heard Cixi's snort, and was so frightened that she quickly stood up and stood back in place.

Seeing that the ministers were silent, Cixi immediately became anxious, and simply asked by name: "Prince Gong, tell me, how can this glue thief retreat!" ”

Yi Xin was asked by name, so she had to come up and say: "The Queen Mother thinks that today's Qing army is better than the first emperor for ten years? ”

Cixi said with a gloomy face: "The imperial court has smashed so much silver, naturally it is much stronger!" But now it seems, that's just it! ”

Yi Xin continued to stubbornly say: "Back to the Queen Mother's words, it is indeed much stronger, but that Yao Fan's soldiers and horses actually regard my Qing Dynasty soldiers as nothing, attacking cities and conquering cities, and the momentum is like breaking through bamboos. ”

Cixi clutched a blue lake silk handkerchief tightly in her hand, as if she was about to squeeze water out of it, and she said angrily: "Prince Gong has something to say!" ”

Yi Xin said: "The minister thinks that what Lord Shen said is extremely true, against this Yao Fan, you can't be invincible, you can only outwit it." ”

Cixi only hated that she had just missed her hand and dropped the jade Ruyi, otherwise she would have been able to throw it directly on the face of Devil Six at this moment, that Yao Fan's anti-Manchurian words in "Revolutionary Army" were so passionate, he Yixin actually asked himself to agree with Shen Guifen's recruitment strategy, which was really reprehensible.

Seeing Cixi's indignation, the military department Man Shangshu Guangshou hurriedly stood up and said, "Prince Gong is self-respecting!" I am thousands of miles wide, and I have hundreds of millions of people, how can I negotiate peace with those bandits! Empress Dowager Qi, the minister is willing to lead the elite soldiers of the Eight Banners of Beijing to pour out of the city and fight to the death with that Yao Fan! We are full of heroes like clouds, and now that the country is in danger, how can there be no reason not to die! The minister thought that if he didn't need to use those Han people and Han officials, as long as the queen mother gathered all the hardcore crops in Beijing with money and grain, she would be able to destroy the thieves in one battle! ”

Cixi was silent when she heard this, obviously not daring to agree.

Shen Guifen glanced at Guangshou with disdain, and sighed: "The Englishman Gordon once said that anyone who can't fight and is warlike should be killed, Yao Fan's soldiers are coming to the city, and the only thing that can be relied on in the capital to defend the city is the Eight Banners in the city, does Lord Guangshou want to take them out and die in a battle!" ”

Guangshou was furious and said to Cixi: "Queen Mother, the minister thinks that it is absolutely impossible to discuss peace and recruit peace!" Wouldn't negotiating peace with a bandit attract ridicule and scorn for eternity? In the future, what face will I have in the Qing Dynasty to be courted by all the countries of the world? Shen Guifen vented the morale of my Qing Dynasty generals, and asked the Queen Mother to apply for it! ”

Cixi thought about it for a long time, and finally calmed down completely, she said expressionlessly: "Lord Shen is loyal, upright, and don't talk nonsense." ”

After speaking, she said to Shen Guifen: "Lord Shen, since you have an idea, just say it here, how do you want to make peace?" As long as you don't teach me the Qing Dynasty royal family to go to Xi'an again, I will admit this humiliating expediency, you just have to say it, it's up to me to bear it. ”

Cixi said that the jar was broken, and the ministers in the hall remembered the tragic situation of fleeing out of Beijing in a hurry and being burned by the British and French forces, and they were suddenly speechless.

Shen Guifen's white beard trembled, and she said excitedly: "The Queen Mother Shengming, the queen of the reign, the minister is willing to plan with all his heart and share the worries of the court!" ”

Cixi said impatiently: "I know you are loyal, let's talk about it, what the hell should I do." ”

Shen Guifen said: "The minister thinks that the current decree is to reward Yao Fan, lead the governor of Shandong, seal the first-class resolute and brave, hereditary replacement, reward the dazzling eyes, his parents and wives, find out the performance, all wait for the will to give grace, with the show that I am a great Qing Dynasty, thirsty for talent, and kind and loyal ministers." ”

Guangshou was furious: "Shen Guifen! Dotard! Rebels and thieves! You can say it! ”

"Shut up!" Cixi stared at Guangshou with fire-breathing eyes.

"Lord Shen, in this case, is Yao Fanke willing to withdraw from the army?"

"Otherwise, the minister thinks that if you want that Yao Fan to be loyal, you still need the two of you to go to seek talent."

"Which two?"

"Prince Gong, Li Zhongtang."

When Yi Xin heard this, she almost couldn't bear it, and wanted to fly up and put a foot on Shen Guifen's ass.

"Shen Guifen, your uncle! Why don't you go by yourself! actually plucked this old woman to send Lao Tzu to wagging her tail and begging for mercy! ”

The rest of the court officials in the Xinuan Pavilion also bowed their heads and sighed, as if they had just had a dinner party, and they had eaten a bloody dead mouse, and their chests were extremely tight.

Cixi was not annoyed, and continued to ask, "Why these two? ”

"If you want to recruit peace, how can the court be sincere? Prince Gong is the foreman of the Minister of Military Aircraft, the Prime Minister of the Yamen, the pillar of the country, and the identity of the emperor's relatives and relatives.

And Li Zhongtang and that Yao Fan have an old relationship, the minister heard that they talked very happily in Jinan, Li Daren treated him sincerely at that time, and did not hesitate to trust him with national funds, so that Yao Fan bought the ship on his behalf. The old minister also heard that Li Zhongtang's two sons and one daughter had a friendship with Yao Fan, and they had traveled to Shandong and Daming Lake in Jinan together, which showed that the relationship was quite thick. Then Yao Fan is also a person, how can he be cold-blooded and ruthless? ”

As soon as Shen Guifen said this, the whole room suddenly realized, and felt that Shen Guifen, the old fox's idea, was really famous, it turned out that Yao Fan and Li Hongzhang used to wear a pair of pants!

Cixi was also thoughtful and asked:

"So Yao Fan will withdraw from the army?"

Shen Guifen knew that he had committed public anger, but he asked himself to grasp Cixi's mind accurately, knowing that Cixi was now at odds with the devils, and Li Hongzhang was without Huaijun, so he was a dog that could be abandoned at any time for Cixi.

Shen Guifen sighed in her heart, but she was more calm, bowed her head and said, "The matter has come to this, does the Queen Mother still regret Juelu?" In this way, if Yao Fan does not agree again, the world will be boiling, and his wolf ambition will be known to everyone, and all people of insight will condemn him. ”

Cixi asked, "What if he agrees?" ”

Shen Guifen said: "If he agrees, then let him stay in Shandong, and the court can slowly figure it out in the future." Or the imperial court can order him to lead troops to Xinjiang to quell the turmoil, if he still has a patriotic heart, repents, and loyally serves the royal family, I may not be able to tolerate it in the future. ”

Cixi stared blankly at the window of the Xinuan Pavilion, and in the bright light that came through, countless dust was flying.

"Prince Gong, are you willing to share your worries for the community?" After being stunned for a long time, Cixi finally spoke.

Yi Xin trembled when he heard this, he knew that this was going to be a matter of losing his head! Since helping Cixi succeed in the coup, Cixi has been afraid of him, and he has long seen that he is not pleasing to the eye, and Li Hongzhang is an additional addition, since his Huai army has been completely annihilated by Yao Fan, then the use value of Cixi's loyal dog is not great.

Yi Xin waited for a long time and didn't wait for the minister's advice, and those minions who usually flattered him all chose to protect themselves at this moment. Yi Xin's heart was like ashes, she raised her head and glared at Shen Guifen viciously, and then lowered her head and said, "For the sake of the Qing Society, I am willing to go." ”

"Then that's it. It's not early, and the mourning family is tired, you should go to the Military Aircraft Department immediately to make a charter, and go to Cangzhou to see Yao Fan as soon as possible, don't delay, otherwise I'm afraid it will be too late. ”

Cixi raised her hand, Li Lianying hurriedly stepped forward to help her up, and shouted softly: "The Queen Mother is back to the palace." ”

So the ministers knelt down and sent it.
