Chapter 23: Asking for Votes, Asking for Votes
.lā Liufujin got the news and hurried over. These days, the noble concubine is really sick, the more she thinks about it, the more angry she becomes, and the more angry she becomes, the sicker she becomes. The rules of the Qing Palace are very perverted, and a lot of people serve them, but whoever makes Liufujin his daughter-in-law have to serve honestly. These days, she's losing weight.
"The emperor is so anxious to find the prince, but what's the matter?" Before Liufujin actually got married, like the people in the world, the sixth master was much more shrewd and capable than the emperor, he was just unlucky. Over the years, although she has become less and less aware of this concept, she still hopes that when Xianfeng really has something, she will still come to her husband.
"It's okay, let me serve Eniang well, he will find a way to give Eniang a title." Prince Gong sneered.
Liufu Jin stayed, these days in the Old Summer Palace, they are considered to be stained, otherwise, it is impossible for them to come in and live, this is the private property of the royal family, let the concubine live, that is also to give the concubine face. also let them follow in to serve the sick, and everywhere is the benevolence and filial piety of the emperor and his wife. The more she lived, the more panicked she became. Even if the courtyard where they live is a small side house in the courtyard of the noble concubine, she is already very careful, but there is really a royal history that says that if they trespass, they will not be able to eat and walk around.
She especially wanted to persuade the mother and son to forget it, what do you want the name of the queen mother, even if she is crowned the queen mother, the old lady will not be able to live in the emperor's mausoleum. Why did the emperor have to build the old lady's grave in the concubine garden, doing so was actually tantamount to a slap in the face back then.
She also understands why the mother and son were slapped in the face back then, so they have to fight for this face back. But they don't know that only like the imperial ancestor and the imperial concubine can they be respected by everyone?
They fought so much that they could only remind the Manchu Dynasty again and again what the old man had done. And then what about forcing the emperor to comply? And what's in it for them?
But it's useless to say it, saying it will only make the sixth child separate from her, and feel that she also looks down on their mother and son. He could only gently rub the shoulders of the six kings, "Okay, no matter what, in fact, the emperor is still afraid in his heart, you think, why do you do so many things, to put it bluntly, you are afraid that people will say that he is not filial." The more excuses you have, the more empty your heart becomes. ”
The six kings liked to listen to this, and calmed down for a while: "So what, he has the will of the emperor, and the king will not be able to persecute him at all." And Lao Qi has even been missing letters recently, Lao Qi is a person who is as timid as a needle, where will he help this king! ”
"But the emperor is still afraid of the clan, otherwise, why are most of the ministers in front of the emperor and the minister of the Military Aircraft Department now from the clan and powerful?" Liufujin was really actively thinking about how to make her husband turn over at this time. The emperor can carry the concubine without being crowned, to put it bluntly, it is because the sixth child can't hold him. If the sixth is the same as the seventh, with heavy troops in hand, or the ministers are embraced, how dare he do this to them. She didn't think about it, Lao Qi's heavy troops were given by Xianfeng, and now Xianfeng has put the magnates and clans in front of the palace and the military aircraft, but have these two places really dealt with any problems? It doesn't seem like there's any.
"He won't let me go to court now, what else can I do." The sixth child originally wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, he was locked up in the Old Summer Palace, and his mother couldn't get out if he had a bad day. Looking at Xianfeng's meaning, even if there is a pot of porridge outside, Xianfeng will not come to him again. Besides, what's the use of looking for yourself? He has no soldiers, no power, and the only role is the emperor's own brother, if this time it really starts, and the court loses, Xianfeng will ask himself to go out and sign for him, because the emperor's face cannot be lost, so he can only lose himself. I was angry when I thought about it.
Liufujin stayed, yes, in fact, their family was under house arrest in the Old Summer Palace, as long as the old lady did not fully recover for a day, or died. Their family couldn't get out of the Old Summer Palace at all. She now feels that the old lady is simply a scourge, if she hadn't been wholeheartedly for the queen mother, she wouldn't have forced everyone to this job.
While the British, French, and American ambassadors were still discussing with China how to deal with this matter, the consuls of the British, French, and American concessions came together to meet the prefect of Shanghai.
They are no longer the single-minded and violent people they used to be, they don't get a reply from the embassy, they send telegrams back to their homes, and no one pays attention to them. The consulate was surrounded by expatriates, some of whom were family members of the victims, who wanted to see the bodies of the deceased and ask for explanations.
There are more businessmen, they can't get out, the concession is besieged, they are worried about their business, and there is a lot of goods on their port, and they will go bankrupt if they are locked up at this time......
The consuls were also helpless and could only take the car rental with the national flag. On the streets of the concession, the once prosperous city was as silent as death. The Qingren assistants who used to feel very annoying, the Qingren servants can't see it. Walked to the entrance and exit of the concession, where their station was heavily surrounded. These officers and soldiers were quite polite, but they repeatedly explained that they were standing here to protect their safety. Therefore, without the consent of the Shangguan, even if it is a consul, it is impossible for him to leave.
After spending a long time like this, they finally came out. Inside and outside, what I saw was ice and fire, and the carriage was bustling with Qing people along the way, and it didn't seem to be affected at all, but then look at the street, the most prosperous businesses were all closed at this time, and there were Qing soldiers standing at the door. On weekdays, there are many compatriots, but at this time, I can't see any of them.
They could not meet Li Hongzhang, and the prefect of Shanghai who received them was all trained, and the diplomatic etiquette was impeccable at all. The caliber is also very consistent, and the siege of the concession and the business name is to protect the lives and property of their expatriates. As for the bodies of the victims, they have been collected and can be returned to their families at any time. Moreover, they expressed great regret for the occurrence of this tragedy. He also asked several consuls to go back and tell their families that the chaotic party had been wiped out and would be dealt with severely in accordance with the laws of the Qing Dynasty.
Britain, France and the United States hoped for extradition, but the prefect immediately refused. But it is very clear that they will be dealt with according to Chinese law, but the Chinese will not be handed over to foreigners to deal with. He also deliberately took out an annotated version of the "Treaty of Nanjing" in Chinese and English, which was written in black and white, and the three were speechless.
The British, French, and American consuls were really unspeakable, sat for a long time, drank a stomach full of good green tea, and then had no effect at all, so they could only return to the concession under the heavy protection of heavy troops. Looking back at the bustling outside the concession, all three of them were depressed.
They also know in their hearts that if their people commit crimes in China, they will also want to deal with them themselves, and they will never want them to be in the hands of the Chinese. Otherwise, it would not have been written in the treaty. Now that they've written notes with their signatures, they're really out of options. I can only hope that the country will come up with the idea soon.
