Chapter 99: A Clever Woman and a Clumsy Husband
The first update
Qingyu handed over the letter of state to Bu Xianfeng, and Ye Mingchen, the governor of Liangguang, even refused this. With-Dream- . Lā didn't know what to say. She didn't know what she was trying to do.
"What is this?" Xianfeng read the national letter, which is equipped with Chinese below, which is actually an appointment of the minister of the Guangzhou port, and he took this to prove his officialness, but what did he do for himself?
"I just told you, this is the minister's letter of state, and then I gave it to Ye Mingchen, but Ye Mingchen didn't read it and refused to accept it. To refuse to accept such a thing is to not recognize the status of the minister of Guangzhou. What do you want the minister of Guangzhou to do, I heard that I want to see the ladies, and they can only hold the hand of the lady and hand it in. Qingyu was also speechless, it's okay for you to refuse their unreasonable demands, what are you doing with your rejection?
"You mean, the courtiers won't agree, they just don't understand?" Xianfeng looked at that, and there was a Chinese explanation below, saying that as long as they stamped it, even if they recognized the status of the minister in Guangzhou, he could perform his duties. He didn't understand why Ye Mingchen refused to accept it.
Therefore, the concubine thought of setting up a school, so that the people of the Lifan Yuan could study hard, and the officials sent to various places would also study. But that's a long way off. No, you have to send someone to write a booklet, and you have to write out what diplomatic etiquette has to write and distribute it everywhere, so as not to cause war for a trivial matter. Qingyu patted her head.
"Afraid of what? Do you really think we can't beat it, let me give in again? Xianfeng was depressed again, what he hated most was to retreat step by step. He thought of his father's sorrow when he went to kneel in the temple. At that time, they knelt together, he didn't know what others thought, but that day, he never forgot it. He didn't want to be recorded one day, how much money he lost in office, and how much land he lost.
"Why bother! If you fight, you don't have to pay for it. It's better to talk about it, and it's better to lose. Qingyu sighed, she also felt depressed, but there was no way. She was depressed in herself, why did she return to this era? Listening to those children, people are in the prosperous era, how can they come to the troubled times? This one in front of him is still such an indecisive master.
In her view, it is right to set up consulates in each other's countries, and this is the first step in the normal establishment of normal diplomatic relations. As long as there are normal diplomatic relations, some things can be formally discussed. And in her view, this is actually a diplomatic trick. For example, today she is meeting an Englishman. And, in a few days, she will meet the French. She waited for these foreigners to fight for herself.
If you want to fight for yourself, you have to give yourself conditions. The conditions can only be given by yourself, and then you can hang the other party with a piece of cake, and you may be able to do it when you turn around. This is the case with them in business negotiations, and it is also the same with countries, all of them want to kill each other, but they still have to cooperate.
"I'm not eating." Xianfeng wanted to leave.
"Let's eat first, and then you can walk with your concubine after eating. If you don't leave, the concubine's legs will soon be no longer her own. Qingyu took Xianfeng's hand.
"By the way, you haven't taken a walk in a long time." Xianfeng remembered that after she got sick, the two of them hadn't taken a good walk. He immediately stopped and sat back down beside her.
Qingyu stopped saying those words that were easy to be in a bad mood, and accompanied Xianfeng to finish eating, and slowly walked in the long corridor together.
"I don't want to be like my father. I've been working hard, but I can't do anything. Xianfeng said softly.
"There are some things that you can't do humanly. Just like we do now, there are many things that we can't think about. With the courtiers, we are not compromising yet. You said that you copied the Ministry of Internal Affairs last month. You also copied the home of the former Minister of the Interior, which was surnamed Aixin Jueluo, and the final result was expulsion. In fact, this result is the worst. Looking at those coaters, I think you are still biased. But those clan relatives still think that you are too ruthless, and you are offended at both ends. Qingyu sighed lightly, I wanted to say before, I never had a chance, but now it's okay, I deliberately clicked it.
"So I'm still wrong." Sure enough, Xianfeng was not happy, who was willing to be pointed out by his wife.
"No, the concubine thought about it, what should she do if she was a concubine? That day, that Fujin entered the palace to intercede. I didn't go to find the concubine, I came directly to ask for the concubine. That day, the concubine watched her cry and said, 'My house has been raided, and my dowry has been taken.' At that time, the concubine was busy saying, "The concubine asked her to return her dowry." She was stunned, not knowing what to say. Then the concubine asked her to send her away, promising to return her dowry. You see, the concubines also compromised. Qingyu smiled bitterly.
Xianfeng knew about this, and when he came back that day, she complained to herself and made him laugh. Later, the dowry was returned, but the money was paid from the palace. In fact, it is all Xianfeng's left purse, and it makes no sense to take out the right purse. But it makes sense to the courtiers, it shows the meaning of the concubine, and now that I think about it, in fact, she handled it better than herself. He was pressured, but he compromised.
"So, in order not to be forced to compromise, should we compromise ourselves?" Xianfeng lost the depression just now, and said softly,
"It should be said that in order not to be robbed, let's take a small step back." Qingyu said with a little difficulty thinking about it, she never compromised, but now she can't do it.
"You, do you just want me to leave?" Xianfeng is still uneven.
"The husband humiliated his wife and died, and the emperor let it, and for the concubines, it was even more than a hundred times. It's just that we can't fight the facts, we can only prepare. Self-confidence is not something that comes out of a roar! Qingyu gently grabbed Xianfeng's arm and sighed softly.
"So you let me be self-reliant and self-reliant, shouldn't you mind the gains and losses of one city and one pool?"
"The gains and losses of one city and one pool are still required, but if it is for the sake of a little verbal gain or loss, it is not worth it. These days, the concubines are watching the Warring States Policy, but they have some experience. Look at those foreigners outside, with us, they don't look like the Seven Heroes of the Warring States. How to survive among the great powers, we might as well learn from the king of Yue's lying salary and courage, and fight back. ”
"Do they want beauties? Where can I find a brave and resourceful Mei Xi Shih? Xianfeng laughed. With a long sigh, he understood what Qingyu meant, and now they can only lie dormant.
Qingyu knew that he understood, but she couldn't get over the hurdle in her heart, but in fact, she couldn't get over this either. She was born in a wealthy family and went abroad since she was a child, but she also attended boarding school. What you raise is a cold temperament! is cold, which also represents how strong she is, and she wants to do the best. As a result, she became Xianfeng's daughter-in-law, is there anything more tragic in life than this?
But fate forced her to this role, either ignore Xianfeng and take care of herself, or escape from the palace and make a vast world and make great achievements. But that's impossible, Xianfeng is also the god of this land again, she is gone, what should the Jiang family do? She can ignore anyone, but she can't ignore Jiang, so she can only say to herself, 'When I get to this position, I have to do my best, and I have to prove that I have appeared.' ’
