"What nonsense are you talking about, Sedor? What benefits did the Western Sichuan Army give you? How do you help them talk? Emperor Guangxu was furious, pointed at Shiduo and scolded. Now that the Western Sichuan Army has taken the initiative to attack, these ministers don't think about how to fight back, but they still excuse the Western Sichuan Army, which makes Emperor Guangxu very angry.

"Ahh His Majesty forgives his sins, and the sin of the slave deserves death! Shi Duo hurriedly knelt on the ground, kept kowtowing, and begged Emperor Guangxu for forgiveness.

"Emperor, you are the monarch, how can you lose your temper at will. It's too impatient, it's not good! The Empress Dowager Cixi frowned and said with some displeasure. This is Chuxiu Palace, it is her territory, Emperor Guangxu is here to teach her ministers, but he doesn't mean to give her a face!

"Dear father, my son knows that he is wrong. The western Sichuan army wantonly attacked the imperial army, the crime deserves death, please agree with your father and son's order to exterminate the western Sichuan army! Emperor Guangxu pleaded again. Although he himself felt that the emperor was very aggrieved, in order to be able to achieve his wishes, he had to ask Cixi's consent in order to be able to obtain Cixi's support.

"Let's talk about this later! Isn't the sixth child in Chengdu? Let him go to see Wang Xiao, and after figuring out what is going on, he will make a decision! Cixi said expressionlessly. Fighting a war is not only about killing people, but also about how much money and food it costs! Originally, the finances of the imperial court were not sufficient, and if the military expenditure increased, what would she do to repair the garden!

"Dear Daddy!" Emperor Guangxu still had to fight, but he was glared at by the Empress Dowager Cixi, and immediately stopped.

"Mourning family is tired, kneel down!" Empress Dowager Cixi said.

"Yes, the retainers are retired!" Emperor Guangxu had to withdraw unwillingly.

"Lafayette, the minions are retired!" Shiduo also knelt down to Cixi and prepared to leave.

"Shi Duo, the Military Aircraft Department will give an order to the sixth child tomorrow, let him go to see Wang Xiao and find out the reason. If Western Sichuan attacks the imperial army for no reason, then they must give the imperial court an explanation! Cixi finally said.

"Yes, the minion obeys!" Shi Duo hurriedly received the order.

In this way, early the next morning, the Military Aircraft Department ordered Prince Gong Yixin, who was stationed in Chengdu, to meet Wang Xiao with an order from the imperial court to find out why the Western Sichuan Army would attack Qinghai.

Prince Gong Yixin, the owner of the Horn Le Daotang, the sixth son of Emperor Daoguang of Manchurian Aixinjue Luo, the half-brother of Emperor Xianfeng, and his biological mother was Concubine Jing Borzigit, and Emperor Daoguang was posthumously awarded the title of "Prince Heshuo Gong". collectively referred to as the "Six Princes"; At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Westernists, the prime minister, the head of the yamen, and the conservative duì were contemptuously called "devil six".

In the thirtieth year of Daoguang (50 years), Prince Gong was awarded the title of Prince Gong with the edict of Xuanzong. During the Xianfeng Dynasty, Yixun's political status was not very important, and he only served as the foreman and minister of military aircraft between 5 and 55 years. In 60, during the Second Opium War, Yixin was appointed Minister Plenipotentiary, responsible for negotiations with Britain, France, and Russia, and signed the Treaty of Beijing. In the 6th year, Emperor Xianfeng died, and Yixun conspired with the Empress Dowager Cixi to launch the Xinyou coup, successfully seized power, and was awarded the title of King of Parliament. From 6 to 4 years, Yi Xun served as the foreman of the Minister of Military Aircraft and the Minister of the Foreman Prime Minister Yamen, during which he was dismissed from the title of King of Parliament by the Empress Dowager Cixi in 65 years, but he was still in the center of power. Four years later, he was finally deposed due to the defeat of the Sino-French War. Later, Prince Gong Yixin was sent to Chengdu to liaise with the Western Sichuan Army and the Qing court to avoid conflict between the two sides. At the same time, he secretly probed the reality of the Western Sichuan Army and its attitude towards the Qing court. In fact, this is the equivalent of exile.

After Prince Gong Yixin received the order, he did not dare to slack off, and immediately went to the western Sichuan to inspect the embassy and ask to see Wang Xiao. However, Wang Xiao shirked it, and it was not until the afternoon that Liang Xingrong, the director of the Patrol Embassy's Attendant Office, saw Yixin.

"His Royal Highness Prince Gong asks to see the marshal, I don't know what's going on? Dashuai is busy these days, inspecting the industrial park, and has no time to meet with Your Royal Highness Prince for the time being. If anything, it's the same with me! Liang Xingrong said with a smile.

Prince Gong Yixin naturally knew that Wang Xiao didn't want to see him, but he couldn't help it. He is just an idle prince with no power and no power now, and it is normal for Wang Xiao not to take him seriously.

"It's understandable that the parade has made your lordship so busy with official business that you can't find time to see the king. This king came today to ask why the western Sichuan army invaded Qinghai on a large scale at the behest of the imperial court, and did the western Sichuan army want to restart the war with the imperial court? Yi Xin asked sharply.

"This, please also ask His Royal Highness the Prince to tell the imperial court, I have never had the intention of starting a war with the imperial court in western Sichuan, and the matter in Qinghai is just a skirmish, and it will end soon!" Liang Xingrong hurriedly said.

"Skirmishes? However, the imperial court received a letter from the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, which clearly said that the army of the Western Sichuan Army invaded Qinghai! Of course, Yi Xin would not believe Liang Xingrong's explanation like this.

"Your Royal Highness, I didn't tell the court the truth when I came to Qinghai! In October last year, the Qingma Army disguised itself as horse bandits, hit thousands of troops, and the army attacked the station of the 10th Brigade of our Western Sichuan Army. In this regard, of course, our western Sichuan army will not sit idly by. Therefore, the current offensive is nothing more than a self-defense counterattack by the Western Sichuan Army against the Qingma Army, and it is completely just a punishment for the Qingma Army, and there is absolutely no intention of starting a war with the imperial court! Liang Xingrong replied.

"What? The Green Horse Army attacked the Western Sichuan Army last year? Could there be any misunderstanding? Or are those really just horse bandits! Yi Xin asked in surprise. It was the first time he had heard the news, and it was estimated that the imperial court did not know about it. This time, it was not initiated by the Western Sichuan Army, it was simply provoked by the Green Horse Army.

"Your Majesty, I promise you that everything I said is true. This time, the actions of the Western Sichuan Army were just to punish the Green Horse Army. Of course, if the other two families of the Ma Jiajun also want to join in, our Western Sichuan Army will not be afraid. Of course, we don't want to have a conflict with the imperial court. After punishing the Qingma Army, we will withdraw from Qinghai and will not forcibly occupy the territory of the imperial court! Liang Xingrong said again.

"Well, I'll report the news to the imperial court!" Prince Gong Yixin said.

After achieving his goal, Yi Xin immediately took his leave, and he had to report the news to the imperial court so that the imperial court could make decisions.

Touring the embassy in western Sichuan, Wang Xiao's study, Liang Xingrong came here after meeting Prince Gong Yixin. Wang Xiao, who was supposed to inspect the industrial park, appeared in this study and never seemed to leave.

"Old Liang? People gone? Wang Xiao raised her head from behind the bookcase, rubbed her sour eyes, and then asked.

"Gone, I've been sent away!" Liang Xingrong said with a smile.

Although Prince Gong Yixin's purpose in Chengdu was very clear to them, under the strict monitoring of the Western Sichuan Army, he couldn't find out any news at all.

"Dashuai, are we really going to return Qinghai to the Qing court after destroying the Qingma Army?" Liang Xingrong asked.

"Hehe, Lao Liang, do you believe this? When have you ever seen us spit out the fat that reached our mouths? Not only Qinghai, but also Gansu must be in our hands! Wang Xiao said with a smile.

They have received the news of the victory of the 10th Brigade of the Western Sichuan Army in the Battle of Biniugou, and now they have eliminated more than one-third of the Qingma Army in one fell swoop, but their own losses are very slight, which makes Wang Xiao very satisfied. I am also very satisfied with Wang Yuze's performance in this battle. When he comes, it won't be long before Wang Yuze will be able to become a qualified successor. If possible, he very much hopes for the day when the western Sichuan will unify the whole country. However, he knew that this qiē was just an extravagant hope. His body is getting worse and worse, and he doesn't know how long he can hold out.

"But Marshal, what if the Qing court is dissatisfied with this and goes to war with us?" Liang Xingrong asked with some concern.

"That's nothing, he wants to fight, and I'm not afraid of him. Now that the railways to Guiyang and Kunming have been opened, we can take Guizhou and Yunnan provinces together in one fell swoop. Although the western Sichuan army has been cultivating for more than ten years, the front of the soldiers has not become dull, but has become sharper. If the Qing court wants to go to war, it is just right for them to taste our power again! Wang Xiao's eyes shone with a glimmer of light!
