The ladies of the British government are naturally grateful for the grace of the queen mother of the two palaces.

When people get older, they can't stay up late, and the Empress Dowager Chen and the Empress Dowager Li have said the scene, so they asked Huang Yi'an to entertain them on their behalf on the grounds of exhaustion, and they went back to the dormitory.

Huang Yi'an already felt that Empress Dowager Li's arrangement this time was quite inconsistent with her usual behavior, and saw that all the ladies and dependents of the British government left gratitude, so she deliberately paid attention to observation.

This attention, I found that although the daughters of the British government were sincere and respectful, the joy on their faces was not strong, it was not because they were reluctant to marry Zhang Xi, so they even took a little reluctance to thank them, right?

Huang Yi'an secretly speculated, so after sending away the queen mother of the two palaces, he sent the palace people back, leaving only Amei to serve nearby.

Seeing this, the British duchess knew that Huang Yi'an meant to talk to them at ease, and her heart was slightly relieved.

Although Huang Yi'an has only been in the palace for three months, and the power of the harem has always been in the hands of Empress Dowager Li, as Qi Yu's pillow person, Huang Yi'an must know more or less about the political trends.

Huang Yi'an saw the relaxed expression of the British Duchess, and knew that he had not guessed wrong, so he did not waste time, and asked directly: "Madame, what do you have to say to me?" ”

Although the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces explained that she would entertain the ladies of the British Mansion, it was already dark at night, and she didn't want to keep a few more people, so naturally she didn't have time to pay attention to those false courtesies.

The British duchess saw Huang Yi'an asking bluntly, so she did not take a detour, Shi Li replied frankly: "The courtiers do have something to ask the queen...... Is Your Majesty preparing to implement a new deal in the barracks lately? ”

Huang Yi'an was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized.

She said why Empress Dowager Li was so abnormal this time, the reason turned out to be here! Empress Dowager Li is obviously thinking of giving a sweet date first and then a mallet!

If a new policy is to be implemented in the barracks, a family of military generals who hold military power like the British Government will definitely bear the brunt, and it will definitely set off a lot of waves at that time, and in serious cases, it will even cause military rebellion.

That's why Empress Dowager Li took advantage of Zhang Xi's marriage to give the British government such a favor, in order to appease the family of the first military general of Daqi in advance, so that the new policy could be implemented in the army in the near future!

Qi Yu didn't tell her about implementing a new policy in the barracks, but it did happen in her previous life.

On the grounds that the army had overreported soldiers, risked the salaries of the troops, falsely reported military merits, and the prestige of the generals, Zhang Gui ordered all guard posts to thoroughly check the number of soldiers, land, and military merits, and reward the law according to the truth, and also wanted to reduce military spending and transfer generals.

At that time, it caused a lot of turmoil in the army.

At that time, she also called on the harem concubines to donate money and materials to support the front line, hoping to calm the anger of the border generals to some extent and share some of the burden for Qi Yu, who was lamenting all night. Although it is only a drop in the bucket, it is also their heart.

Huang Yi'an hurriedly stepped forward to help the British Duchess and said with a smile: "Madame doesn't have to be polite. I know that my wife is very worried, but I live in the harem about the court, and I don't know a lot. However, the army is different from other places, and it is thought that His Majesty will act at his discretion. ”

When the British duchess heard this, her heart relaxed slightly.

Discretion means that the New Deal will not be carried out resolutely and thoroughly, as is the case in other matters, regardless of opposition and obstacles.

She is not worried about the significant impact of the implementation of the new policy in the Northwest Army on the British government, after all, since the first British prince who died in the escort, the British prince and his sons and nephews have all been stationed on the frontier and sacrificed their lives to protect the country.

But the generals under the British were different.

Most of them have followed the British government for generations to guard the frontier, loyal, forgetting death, if they make mistakes, the court will punish them, the British government is not protecting, not protecting.

Protect it, it's okay to say one or two, if there are too many, the British government will inevitably oppose the imperial court, but I'm afraid that people won't be able to save it at that time, and they will have to fold themselves in.

But if you don't protect it, it will inevitably chill the hearts of the soldiers.

They have followed the British government for generations, and in addition to defending their families and the country, they still want to rely on the protection of the British government to seal their wives and children, and be rich and worry-free. Now the imperial court wants to investigate, if it is counted on their heads, the British government does not come out, let the court punish, they will inevitably be dissatisfied, dissatisfied with the dispatch, in case of a rebellion, even if the merits of the ancestors of the British government are all combined, I am afraid that it will be difficult to survive this catastrophe.

"I wonder where Madame got this news?" Huang Yi'an asked with a worried face.

There is no news about the implementation of the new policy in the army, and if nothing else, it should be more than a month later, after Zhang Gui returned to the capital from his hometown in Gangneung.

However, the British government has already received the news, and it is still uneasy about it, not knowing where the news leaked and what its intentions are.

Out of trust and gratitude to Huang Yi'an, the British duchess did not hide the source of the news, and replied in a low voice: "Back to the queen, this news is coming from the cabinet. ”

Huang Yi'an was surprised when he heard this, and blurted out: "It turned out to be from the cabinet?" ”

The implementation of the new policy in the military is no better than elsewhere, and the slightest carelessness will lead to serious consequences such as military rebellion, and now that Jang Gui has not returned to Beijing to preside over the overall situation, how dare the people in the cabinet easily leak the news?

Could it be that Zhang Wei couldn't hold it back, and wanted to take advantage of Zhang Gui's absence in Beijing to make trouble in advance and avenge Gao Heng?

"Exactly." The British Duchess frowned and sighed, "I heard that it was a small official in charge of the cabinet who inadvertently spread it. ”

"I heard?" Huang Yi'an raised his eyebrows and asked, "Dare to ask who Madame said?" ”

The British duchess was stunned when she heard this, her expression was quite hesitant, and she did not answer for a while.

When Huang Yi'an saw this, he knew that this person had a special identity, and he was afraid that he would have some interference with the British government, so the British duchess hesitated.

Huang Yi'an didn't plan to delve into the British Mansion that was kind to him, and was about to diverge the conversation, when he saw Zhang Xi take a step forward and said, "Back to the queen's mother, this news was handed over by someone from the Li Mansion." ”

Huang Yi'an was stunned when he heard this.

Lee House?

It's Zhang Xi's in-laws!

No wonder the Duchess of England hesitated to answer.

When the British duchess saw that Zhang Xi had broken it, she had no choice but to respond: "It was the Li Mansion who sent someone to ask, and the courtiers found out." ”

In his heart, he couldn't help but secretly blame Zhang Xi for being ignorant. Before getting married, he "betrayed" his husband's family, if this word spreads, I don't know how difficult it will be in my mother-in-law's house in the future!

Huang Yi'an understood the concerns of the British duchess, and was even more grateful to Zhang Xi for his trust in her, so he said comfortingly: "Madame, please rest assured, not a word will be leaked out of our conversation today!" ”

She still has this confidence.
