Then, Zhang Zhidong leaned over and said, "Niangniang's words are serious. ”

I looked at him and smiled, "It's not serious at all. ”

Quiet for a moment, suddenly heard that behind the curtain seems to be someone caressing the piano inside, the ear across the fingertips between the ups and downs of the piano sound flowing, the rhythm or virtual or real, changeable, like a quiet stream dripping spring clear and ethereal, exquisitely clear, and like the captain gently rocking the oar, squeak, contrasting with each other.

After a while, Zai Yu said quietly: "It turned out to be Lord Zhang Zhidong's game. ”

I haven't yet realized what I mean.

I saw Zhang Zhidong kneeling on the ground with a "plop" and said: "The minister just wants the emperor to return to the Forbidden City at the helm." ”

Zai Yan didn't call him up, but said suspiciously: "Helm? After smiling lightly, he sighed again, "I really don't dare to be. ”

Only then did I understand the connection between yesterday's sound and today's sound.

Zhang Zhidong hung his head and didn't say a word, knelt on the ground for a long time, and didn't dare to get up when he saw that Zaiyan didn't speak.

I glanced at Zhang Zhidong lightly, lowered my eyes and said, "Lord Zhang Zhidong's knees are too soft?" ”

Zhang Zhidong was puzzled, "Minister...... I don't understand what the mother means. ”

I laughed, "In the past, I always heard that Lord Zuo Zongtang raised his own funds and carried the coffin to the expedition, which is the backbone." ”

Zhang Zhidong said again: "Minister...... Still don't quite understand. ”

I said softly, "Respect or disrespect is in my heart, not in these false bows," I smiled, and then asked, "In the hearts of adults, whether it was in the past or now, have you ever really served the emperor?" ”

Listening to the words, Zhang Zhidong just didn't speak.

Zai Yan stared at Zhang Zhidong and asked, "If you don't have it, why don't you want to let me go?" ”

Zhang Zhidong replied lightly: "If the minister lets the emperor go today, then tomorrow the minister's family will be sent to the guillotine." ”

Zai Yan asked rhetorically: "Then why is it me?" ”

Zhang Zhidong raised his eyes and asked, "Does the emperor want to hear the truth?" ”

Zai Yan nodded, "You say." ”

Zhang Zhidong took a deep breath and said slowly: "Because the emperor is already a caged bird, he is destined to be unable to escape." ”

After Zhang Zhidong finished speaking, Zai Yan stared at him with wide eyes, and reluctantly stared at him and said: "But I have already escaped, and it is clear that you Lord Zhang Zhidong made a conspiracy to catch me, and at this moment, it is also your Lord Zhang Zhidong who is unwilling to raise his noble hand and let me go." ”

I chuckled and said: "My lord, you don't care about the overall situation at all, but just want to live secretly under the weight of Lafayette, although there is nothing wrong with adults thinking so, but the words and righteous awe-inspiring appearance of adults a moment ago are really disgusting, but adults have been up and down in the officialdom all these years and can't even say a word of truth?" ”

Zhang Zhidong's gray brows trembled and frowned, and he closed his eyes and said: "The truth is false, the ministers have said it, I only ask the emperor and the mother to rest in this house for a while, and when the carriages and horses are ready, you can set off for the Forbidden City overnight." Lafayette is still waiting for the emperor in Ningshou Palace! ”

After speaking, Zhang Zhidong got up, turned around, and was about to leave, I couldn't help but look at him with a smile, and said: "My lord, this palace still has a word to say to your lord," Zhang Zhidong listened to the words, his steps froze in place and waited, after a while, I raised my eyebrows lightly and said: "This palace can tell your lord that the Qing Dynasty will die soon." ”

Zhang Zhidong hurriedly turned around, glanced at me, leaned over and said hurriedly: "Niangniang! How can such a great rebellion be spoken! ”

I laughed, "I'm not joking with you," and asked, "Do you know what the Qing Dynasty died for?" ”

Zhang Zhidong looked at me helplessly and shook his head.

I chuckled and said, "Confucius still has to take three provinces a day, and your biggest problem is that you don't know how to introspect. ”

Zhang Zhidong frowned and asked, "You guys?" ”

I laughed but didn't say a word.

Zhang Zhidong stood in place in a daze.

After a moment, Zai Yan waved his hand and said, "You go." ”

Zhang Zhidong came to his senses, bowed down and walked out, the woman behind the curtain stepped in, wearing a light silver Luo skirt, the skirt was inlaid with colored silk threads, and the waist was tied with a water-colored brocade yarn belt, fresh and slim, with a slight smile in her eyes, like a pair of pearls of youth and ignorance, glowing with pearl-like brilliance, and saluted me and Zai Yan after coming in.

I looked at her and asked with a smile, "You are the woman who just played the piano?" ”

She said, "Yes, the slave is benevolent." ”

Zai Yan expounded his eyebrows and said: "It turns out that you are the eldest daughter of Zhang Zhidong. ”

Jang In-joon, this name is ...... Worry-free love book network

I whispered, "How could Amma give a girl such a name!" ”

Zhang Renzhun had a decent smile on his face, and said to me in a harmonious voice: "Ama hopes that the slave can be fair and accurate, and know me closely. ”

Zai Xiang just chuckled, "Quasi-standing, the currency of the world," he said, thought about it, and then said, "Learning is close to knowledge, practice is close to benevolence, and shame is close to bravery." If you know the three, you will know so you will be self-reliant. If you know how to cultivate yourself, you will know how to govern people. If you know how to govern people, you will know how to govern the world and the country. ”

As soon as the words fell, I looked at Zhang Renzhun with a smile and asked, "You Ama asked you to be a lobbyist, right?" ”

Zhang Renzhun shook his head and said, "Ama didn't know that the slave had come in. After a while, she said again: "The emperor and Niangniang Fangcai's words have all been heard by the slaves behind me, and the emperor and Niangniang are really wrong to blame Amma." ”

Zai Yan looked at Zhang Renzhun and asked, "Then tell me, why did I blame him Zhang Zhidong?" ”

Zhang Renzhun took a deep breath and said: "The slave Ama is dedicated to the Qing Dynasty, has always been loyal to the country, honest and selfless, although Ama did not directly participate in the reform of the law, but also did a lot of things behind the scenes, Yang Rui among the reformers is Amma's former protégé." ”

Zai Yan frowned, "Yang Rui? ”

Zhang Renzhun nodded and said: "Ama is low-key, because very few people know that Yang Rui used to be Amma's disciple and staff, Yang Rui has always maintained close contact with Amma since he arrived in Beijing. ”

Zai Yan asked lightly: "Then why did I transfer Zhang Zhidong to Beijing in the name of sponsoring the New Deal, but he didn't arrive?" ”

Zhang Renzhun sighed: "Later, Yang Rui was appointed as the military aircraft Zhang Jing with the rank of Sipinqing and participated in important politics. Ama was transferred to Beijing in the same month, but because of a burning incident in Shashi, Hubei, there was a lot of commotion, so he had to turn back halfway. ”

Zai Yan looked around and said, "Then there is nothing to say about this mansion, right?" ”

Zhang Renzhun also looked around, and had to shake his head, "This mansion is indeed Amma's, and the slave has nothing to say, but this mansion is not what Ama wants to buy, but when grandma came to Xiangfan, she saw it early, and Ama bought the mansion in one fell swoop in order to commemorate grandma, and all the specifications in the mansion were built according to what grandma said back then." ”

After listening to her, my eyes glanced at Zaiyan.

Zai Xiang cleared his throat, and after a while, Zai Yan looked at Zhang Renzhun and said lightly: "It turns out that you are fighting for your Ama to fight for you." ”

Zhang Renzhun didn't pretend to be garlic, but said, "Yes." ”

Zai Yan smiled, "You are straightforward," Zai Yan raised his eyes to look at Zhang Renzhun, and then said, "Then I also have something I want to ask you." ”

Zhang Renzhun said: "What did the emperor say?" ”

Zai Yan asked provocatively: "Who are you who is the woman who pretended to sell himself at the street corner to bury his father, and who is the woman who is involved in me and refuses to let go?" ”

Zhang Renzhun's face showed a little embarrassment.

Zai Yan asked: "Don't you dare to say it?" ”

Zhang Renzhun swallowed his saliva and said, "She's ......"

I also asked, "Who is it?" ”

Zhang Renzhun took a deep breath and said, "She is a righteous daughter who was accidentally accepted by Ama in a group of refugees who met in Hubei a few years ago," and hurriedly raised his eyes and said, "Ama didn't mean to play tricks on the emperor and Niangniang, Ama really hopes that the emperor can return to the Forbidden City to preside over the government, and the slave has heard Ama say more than once that the eldest brother in the Forbidden City loves Xinjueluo Pujun is really ...... Stubborn, many rumors have spread to Hubei. ”

I asked, "What rumors?" ”

Zhang Renzhun said unspeakably: "I said it...... Big Brother Pu Jun...... Snorting...... Opium smoke. ”

I said "oh", if it was true, it would not be surprising, Aixin Jueluo Pu Jun looked very rubbish, and he actually used his hands to beat the load.

Zai Yan frowned, and asked with an awe-inspiring gaze: "You say, the refugees you met a few years ago?" ”

Zhang Renzhun nodded puzzled.

Zai Xiang asked again: "Then why didn't you Ama explain the situation of the refugees earlier?" ”

Zhang Renzhun listened to Zai Yan's words, but he didn't understand, "Doesn't the emperor know?" Then she added: "Amma has been on several letters a long time ago, but there is always no response!" ”

Zai and I couldn't help but look at each other.

I was confused for a while.

So, I said to Zhang Renzhun: "The emperor really has never seen such a twist and turn a few years ago. ”

Zhang Renzhun shook his head and said in a firm tone: "Impossible!" As she spoke, she frowned tightly, and then said: "A few times did the slave watch Ama write one after another and fold it to the capital to be delivered, if the emperor didn't see it, then he must have been stopped by someone halfway." ”

Jang In-joon was right.

I smiled and looked sideways at Zaiyan.

Zai Yan was already fully understood, looked back at me and said, "It must be Lafayette." ”
