Chapter 99: Make it bad, everyone is okay
The first update
"Go and prepare, since we are fighting, we have to beat them down in one blow, they can't die alone. By the way, there are also fleets of various countries, don't let them close, fight in blocks, whoever shows his mouth will be responsible. ”
"Yes!" Chery also went out.
The ministers were stunned now, and Xianfeng just listened intently and didn't speak.
"Your Majesty, what do you think?"
"You do what you want, and I'll give you the cover." Xianfeng smiled and patted her, but this was said to the ministers in the room.
"Your Majesty, have you been able to fight this time?" An old prince still came out and asked hesitantly, think about it, they were so rash to fight back then. The result?
"If you can't fight, you won't fight, but this time, obviously, people want to fight. Let's talk first, and if we can't talk, then fight. Qingyu smiled and tapped lightly on the bookcase. With a soft sigh, the missing ship number was an excuse.
When you hear it, it's the same. Everyone is forced to the doorstep, either to find a crew member who is gone, or not to let them find it. They are just going to aim their guns at their gates.
"Let's talk about it! If you want to fight, how can you and all departments help? Xianfeng tapped lightly on the desk.
Qingyu wanted to leave, but Xianfeng didn't let her go, she looked at Xianfeng's appearance, she knew that now he was going to train himself, and he hoped that in case he left before them, she could control the court situation for him.
She sat on the side, watching Xianfeng arrange the actions of various departments in an orderly manner, Qingyu seemed to see this side of her husband for the first time, just now he had not spoken, and now she knew that she seemed to have always underestimated her husband, he has always been a politician. After they all agreed, Xiao Huangzi came in and said that the British ambassador was already waiting in the side hall.
Xianfeng shook his head, "You go, I'm gone." ”
Qingyu nodded, got up, and took the people from Lifan Courtyard to the side hall. Prince Zhuang was too, so he stood behind Qingyu.
The British ambassador looked very complacent at this time, obviously, he already knew, and at this time he was summoned by the emperor again, and this time he felt that he had prepared. Moreover, this is not the action of the family, everyone has already negotiated in advance, and the contract purchased before has just been completed. At this time, they are not afraid that Congress will talk about those contracts again, and wait for them to finish, and next year, it seems that they can increase greater benefits.
Castanets at the door, he didn't take Joe, he stood up on his own. But I only saw a half-old dress, plain face appeared in front of him, the British ambassador was stunned for a moment, compared to the limited number of meetings, this queen mother gave her a more terrible feeling. At this time, only the queen mother came out alone, with the courtiers, and the ambassador felt a little uncertain.
"Isn't Mr. Ambassador going to explain to Hongu?" Qingyu sat down and waited for him to finish his salute before saying indifferently.
"Your Majesty, this time the military has lost a crew member, and this must be recovered." He said very strongly.
"Really? Does it mean that if you can't find a crew, you will go to war with the Qing Dynasty? Qingyu looked at this one coldly.
"Of course, if your country does not hand over the crew, then our country must take military action." The ambassador shook his civilization stick exaggeratedly.
"Very well, so are you ready? If the two countries go to war, then they must first withdraw their respective embassy personnel, right? The palace would immediately send a telegram to the British, asking them to close the embassy and prepare to withdraw. If you want to leave, we'll release you too. By the way, there are also consulates and British expatriates, you can prepare a passenger ship and take it with you. Keep in mind that it was a passenger ship, and if it was a warship, it might have been sunk. Qingyu nodded and said word by word.
"Your Majesty!" Ambassador Ying didn't expect that Qingyu only determined whether to go to war, instead of talking to them. He couldn't even say anything in his stomach.
"What else to say? Where do we go to find someone who is deliberately trying to hide? Just like your proverb, don't try to wake up those who pretend to be asleep, we can only be forced to fight! Qingyu smiled, this time the smile was very gentle, but the British ambassador heard it very clearly, and she bit the word 'forced'.
The current Qing court is completely different, they are tough, but not without strategy. Obviously, over the years, their strategy has worked. Everything is being done according to international rules, but it seems to be getting more and more unfavorable, and they are obviously waiting.
"Your Majesty, this matter is very important, and Weichen has to return to the Congress." The ambassador hesitated, then straightened up, looking down at them.
"Listen to me." Qingyu was still smiling, and stretched out her hand to signal that he could leave.
The ambassador stood up and saluted them, straightened up, and walked out, obviously, there was no longer the arrogance that he had when he looked at Qingyu just now.
There are only Qingyu and Yiren in the side hall, Yiren has an interpreter on their side, Qingyu doesn't need it, but everyone wants it. Therefore, the answer between Qingyu and the ambassador is known to everyone in unison. At this time, everyone is an old man when the ambassador leaves, so it is clear that the ambassador was obviously bluffed by the mother, right?
"Mother, will they give in?"
"It's hard, they should have contacted all the countries, and look at the way we first came in, he wanted to take the lead, and pointed to me to give them the biggest piece of bread. But if I don't budge now, they'll have to go back and think about what to do. ”
Qingyu shook her head thinking about it, and took a gentle breath, thinking about the appearance of the ambassador saluting herself for the first time just now, obviously, he was waiting for himself to ask him. What about the disintegration of division? I said it before, but are these people moral?
"You have spent so much money on socializing with various countries over the years, do you have any useful insider information now?" Qingyu looked up at Yiren.
"Which country do you want?"
"The two closest to us, Russia and Japan." Qingyu looked at her brother-in-law, a good old man.
"Yes, there's a little bit of a way."
"Then send back the news, the British will ask us to get big benefits, really go to war, and in the end, they won't get anything."
It's not bad, everyone has been in the officialdom for a long time, and the Lifan Academy has been polished out by them in every way in the past six years, at this time, this is not a light year, waiting for the idle department of "all countries to come to the court" every day.
Over the years, their silver has not been spent in vain, besides, these people are not simple people, and these people have done a lot of work to make stumbling back, including Yiren.
Everyone retreated, Qingyu breathed a long sigh of relief, looking at their smiles when they went out, she also knew that when they went out, everyone's minds were full of bad water, and they were desperately bubbling out one by one.
She is actually not very good at these things, but for these officials, I am afraid that they are all middle and high-hand.
