Yuanmingyuan, the palace of diligence. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The Empress Dowager Cixi is particularly efficient today, she has read all the excerpts in less than an hour, she sat behind the desk, carefully read the last excerpt, thought about it and instructed: "Zeng Guoquan Governor Liangguang, the first priority, naturally to protect the people and protect the territory, civil affairs have a governor of the domain, criminal law has a platform, and the study and politics have a platform, each performs its own duties, the governor should not meddle in the details of political affairs, the land of the two Guangzhou, Guangdong has many foreigners, Guangxi has many Miao Zhuang people, and it is close to the Yunnan Rebellion area, they can not be taken lightly, outside the iron-fisted governance, It is more necessary to appease the people by soft means and stabilize Tiannan, second, it is also necessary to take the appearance of the military as the first, the Fengtai battalion training in the following year, the governors of all places need to send elite competitions, Zeng Governor is the hero of the rebellion of Hong Yang in pacification, the training is bound to be old, in the old years, there are many thieves in Qinzhou, Lianzhou, and Taiping, and they can be trained with war, train local elites, and then enter Beijing to win the title of the first army in the world, so as to live up to expectations! The Empress Dowager Cixi thought for a while, "That's it, don't say anything else, don't say much, you sort out these words, send them to the governors everywhere, let the big guys know that the governors are not in charge of everything, but mainly in charge of military affairs!" ”

A slender jade hand held a red pen on Zeng Guoquan's fold to write the Empress Dowager Cixi's Zhu criticism one by one, then put down the pen, and smiled at the Empress Dowager Cixi: "The emperor's mother clearly issued the will of the world, or call the military machine Zhang Jing to write, the son can not be." ”

The person who spoke was a woman in her thirties, wearing a dark green flag suit, combing two knives, and her hair bun was dotted with emerald and tourmaline hair accessories, her face was calm and calm, neither humble nor arrogant, and there was a slight smile on the corner of her mouth, it was Princess Rongshou.

After the death of Princess Rong'an, the nominal daughter of the Empress Dowager Cixi was left with Princess Rongshou, so it was like a military aircraft, **** entered the palace to serve the Empress Dowager Cixi, and helped take care of the palace, and the Empress Dowager Cixi was also unceremonious, she was too lazy to write these days, so she dragged Princess Rongshou to pull Zhuang Ding and asked her to be Zhu Pi.

"Then just call the military aircraft Zhang Jing to come," the Empress Dowager Cixi stood up and stretched, "It's okay tomorrow, let's send Zeng Guoquan's fold back first." She instructed the eunuchs in the internal affairs office, and the eunuchs reported all the excerpts, and the Empress Dowager Cixi asked Rongshou: "Where are you going to go now?" Or is it right here? ”

Princess Rongshou smiled, "Erchen wants to go and see the imperial concubine and the eldest princess, I haven't seen him for some days, but I miss the eldest princess." ”

Empress Dowager Cixi nodded, "Then you go, I still have something to do, Edward from England is here, this time he has already entered the garden, I want to see him, I won't leave you here." ”

Rong Shou stood up, crossed his hands, squatted on his knees, took a few steps back, turned around and walked out, and the Empress Dowager Cixi instructed Li Lianying, "Where is Edward?" ”

"It has been brought into the garden by Baylor Yixuan, and this will be waiting in the Zhengda Guangming Palace, and Lord Guo will also accompany him."

The Empress Dowager Cixi asked Li Lianying, "Little Lizi, how do you say I am dressed?" ”

Li Lianying said with a smile, "The master is naturally the most beautiful. ”

"Haha, flamboyant, I don't expect to say anything truth from your mouth," Empress Dowager Cixi shook her head and smiled, "Let's go, let's go see this prince He." ”

To the north of the Zhengda Guangming Temple, is the front lake, across the front lake is Kyushu Qingyan, Edward looked around with interest, he was particularly fascinated by the Shoushan stacked with hundreds of Taihu Lake stones on the shore of the lake, especially when he heard Yixuan's explanation, these Taihu Lake stones are naturally formed, nodded again and again.

"Eddie." A pleasant female voice sounded behind Edward, and Edward turned around to see the Empress Dowager Cixi, dressed in azure, standing under several green pines, looking at him with a smile.

A smile bloomed on Edward's face, and he walked towards the Empress Dowager Cixi, and the others on the side wanted to salute again, but the Empress Dowager stretched out her hand to stop them from saluting, and also strolled towards Edward.

Edward stretched out his arm towards the Empress Dowager Cixi, as if thinking about giving the Empress Dowager Cixi a hug, and the Empress Dowager Cixi was shocked, "No, no, nonono!" She waved her hand again and again to refuse, and an embarrassed smile appeared on her face, "Eddie, this is not in the UK, I have to abide by Chinese etiquette, please forgive me." ”

Edward froze and stretched out his hand, the Empress Dowager Cixi turned a blind eye, crossed Prince Edward, and said majestically to the overwhelmed Yixuan and the blind Guo Songtao, "You go down to negotiate affairs with the British ministers, Prince Edward and I will personally entertain you." ”

"Yes."

The uninteresting idlers and others have all retreated, only Li Lianying and a few palace people are far away, and the Empress Dowager Cixi and Edward slowly walked side by side to the depths of the flowers and trees, this is a strange combination, an oriental woman wearing a cheongsam, and a red-haired man in Western-style clothes, walking together in the Old Summer Palace, "Eddie, how have you been doing all these years?" I know you've got another little princess. ”

"Yes, I brought you a picture of her," Edward took out a black and white photo from his pocket and handed it to the Empress Dowager Cixi, who looked at the girl with her mouth open and smiling in the photo, "Well, it's cute, it's your little angel." ”

"Yes, it is my angel, and children are the best gift God can give to their parents, aren't they?" Edward said proudly, he saw the Empress Dowager Cixi's gloomy expression, "Sissi, I know what you have experienced over the years, it's very painful, right?" Although we have been exchanging letters, I think you may still be unhappy. ”

They walked and said, to Tantandang, this is the place where the Empress Dowager Cixi first saw Prince Gong, Tantandang has a lot of goldfish, a big color, in the turquoise water and grass, wandering back and forth, the Empress Dowager Cixi grabbed a handful of fish food, threw it into the fish pond, the goldfish rushed to grab food, spit out a lot of bubbles on the water, "Of course I am unhappy, you also know that I have a lot of changes here, many of my close people have left me, I am a person with heavy feelings, Life and death have always been invisible, but time is the cure for everything, isn't it? The Empress Dowager Cixi smiled indifferently, the erosion and tribulation of the years did not seem to have left a trace in her eyes, and her eyes, in Edward's opinion, were still so bright and powerful, and seemed to shine into people's hearts.

Edward shook his head, "Sissi, you have taken on too many things, I admire you for this, I think, I can't compare to you." (To be continued.) )
