After coming out of Ningshou Palace, I was walking forward, and I don't know when, Concubine Yu came to my side and said with a kind smile: "I'm older, and I'm more cautious." ”

While I walked forward with Concubine Yu, I replied with a light smile: "It's wrong to say more." I don't know what Li Anda said to Lafayette just now, Lafayette's face suddenly became so bad, can't the slave see it? ”

Concubine Yu said: "Fortunately, you didn't hit the muzzle of the gun just now, otherwise you only need to say one more word inside, and it will be doomed." ”

I smiled and said, "Don't worry, Niangniang, the slave has been in the Forbidden City for so many years, and he has learned a little bit about his words and feelings, and he won't find anyone unhappy for himself." ”

After a while, Concubine Yu said in a clear voice: "It's probably also for the emperor." ”

I said lightly: "Actually, the emperor has nothing to be angry with Lafayette." ”

Concubine Yu asked, "What do you mean?" ”

I glanced sideways at Concubine Yu, "If Lafayette's ancestral family law is only Lafayette, and the emperor acted arbitrarily in the previous dynasty, and Lafayette is good at living and recuperating for a long time, there is nothing to be angry about." ”

After hearing this, Concubine Yu hurriedly pulled my arm and said, "You can't talk nonsense outside. ”

I looked at Concubine Yu and snorted lightly: "It's obvious that Lafayette wants too much, and Lafayette also knows in his heart that these things didn't belong to her originally, otherwise, with Lafayette's temperament, how could he endure it for a long time?" ”

Concubine Yu said "um", and after a while, she sighed and said, "But what you said is right, the harem is indeed not allowed to interfere in politics." ”

I smiled lightly and said, "There is Empress Lu in front and Emperor Wu in the back, is it possible that Lafayette still wants to be the second Emperor of Martial Arts?" ”

Concubine Yu shook her head, "I don't know what's so good about leaning towards the government and the opposition?" ”

I smiled and said, "Maybe you look at the world!" ”

Concubine Yu said: "This palace doesn't feel good, for the sake of power that does not belong to me, it is better to have fun and laugh together." ”

I thought for a while and said, "Niangniang and Lafayette are probably different in the way and don't conspire with each other," and said, "My sister once said that it is right, many things that are yours are yours, and if they are not yours, don't force them." ”

Hearing this, Concubine Yu's eyes flashed, as if she remembered something, and suddenly asked me, "Do you know what happened to Concubine Jin when she came in?" ”

I was stunned, if it weren't for Concubine Yu's words to remind me, I really didn't have the heart to think about Ziyu's affairs these days, looked at Concubine Yu, frowned and asked, "Isn't my sister's body unwell?" ”

Concubine Yu's tone was a little worried, "It's been so many days, and it's not okay?" ”

I said quietly: "My sister is weak and needs more conditioning." ”

Concubine Yu nodded, "Yesterday, Bengong went to Yonghe Miyamoto to see her illness, but was stopped by Ji Yue, saying that Concubine Jin was not in good spirits and couldn't see people, Bengong was very worried, thinking that you would know more." ”

I let out a breath and said, "A lot of things have happened recently, and the minions haven't been to Yonghe Palace for almost a month. ”

Concubine Yu sighed: "Also, the emperor often needs you to accompany him, where can he pull away." ”

At noon the day before yesterday, Tan Sitong, Yang Rui, and Liu Guang's first military plane, Zhang Jing, were discussing the new deal with Zai Yan in the Qianqing Palace. I was lying on the couch behind the curtain reading a book, the sky was already full of sunshine outside the window, a goose yellow base, covered with a faint layer of orange red, the book had been read for a long time, my eyes were a little blurred, I couldn't help but put down the book, gently closed my eyes, and faintly heard the sound of people talking outside.

These days are very busy, and from time to time I secretly hide behind the curtain, and these people who have been summoned come and go, and when they hear a lot of timbre, they can roughly distinguish seven or eight in their hearts.

Zai Xiangzheng asked: "You can't build a country without changing the law, but why can't you hinder it?" ”

Lin Xu said: "As far as the emperor's current power is concerned, doing changeable things, although it can't be completely changed, it is enough to save the country." ”

Liu Guangdi continued: "The edict of the new deal has been constantly resisted and opposed by the conservative forces of Lafayette, and many stubborn ministers have cited Lafayette as an Austrian aid, and said that only the 'Yi Zhi' is respected, and do not take the emperor's new edict in their eyes, and some people even more blatantly obstruct the new policy, resulting in most of the emperor's edicts on changing the law have become a dead letter and cannot be acted. ”

Zai Yan said in a deep voice: "However, the ministers are all old and old-fashioned, and they don't know about foreign affairs. ”

Yang Rui hurriedly said: "The emperor Shengming, insight into the source of the disease, if you know the source of the disease, the medicine is here, and if you know that conservatism leads to disaster, then it is not a reform and a change of law cannot be strong," After a pause, he said, "The minister is willing to smear the emperor's liver and brain, and there is no regret." ”

Liu Guangdi's tone was as firm as a dagger, and he said four words: "Only counterattack." ”

Subsequently, Zai Yan was silent for a long time.

After a while, Lin Xu asked out loud: "If the people have the power but the king has no power, what does the emperor think?" ”

Zai Yan said without thinking: "I want to save the country, if the country can come back to life, even if I have no power, what is the obstacle?" ”

Hearing what Zai Yan said, I was even more sure in my heart that he and Cixi were not the same kind of people.

It is a high mountain and flowing water, and it is a cloud deep and does not know where.

After Zai Yan finished speaking, there was silence for a while, so Zai Yan said another word and asked Liu Guangdi aloud: "How is the operation of the Beijing Normal University Hall?" ”

Liu Guangdi said: "Preparations are underway. ”

Zai Xiang asked: "Is there any obstruction?" ”

Liu Guangdi said: "It can still be contained." ”

Zai Yan said in a righteous voice: "If the Jingshi University Hall is completed, it will be the first highest university established by the state in the Qing Dynasty, and it will also be the first step in abolishing the eight shares and revitalizing Western learning, and its importance should not need to be said more." ”

Liu Guangdi said: "The ministers must do their best. ”

The branches and leaves of the swaying sun revealed a touch of afterglow, gradually replaced by the twilight of Dai, for a while there was no sound outside the curtain, sideways turning, opened his eyes to see that several people had retreated, only Zai Yan was still standing in place as if thinking about something, I had lifted the curtain out, he did not notice, saw him frowning ink-like eyebrows, as if being entangled by thousands of thoughts.

When he came back to his senses, he would definitely feel tired, so I stepped out and quietly instructed Wang Shang to pour a pot of tea, and happened to meet Tan Sitong at the turn outside the corridor.

I asked him, "Why didn't you say a word in the temple?" ”

Tan Sitong was surprised and asked, "How does Niangniang know," but as soon as he was halfway through the words, he immediately reacted and smiled, "It turns out that Niangniang is also in the palace." ”

I chuckled, "Don't be careful, I'm too lazy to listen to you talk about those obscure court things." ”
