51. Fire and Water in the North and South (1)

"But he was in that position, he was originally busy, and the position of the first assistant of the cabinet, which is a high position and a powerful person in any dynasty and generation, is the object of everyone's pursuit, and the sixth master is naturally no exception. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info" The Empress Dowager Cixi looked at the bamboo fish that kept flying out of the water in order to grab food, "Little Lizi, what do you say about the sixth master?" ā€

"How dare a slave talk about the king." Li Lianying hurriedly said.

"Haha, it's not that you don't dare to say it, it's just that you don't want to say it, you should know everything in front of me, and you should say everything." Empress Dowager Cixi said with a slight smile.

"The slave can only present the collected information to the West Holy Master, and if there is any other judgment, the slave will not dare to disturb the Queen Mother's decision." Li Lianying knows her duty very well, and many words are not that the woman in front of her who has been in charge of China for more than 20 years has not made a decision, in fact, she has already made a decision about something in her heart, but she just hopes that others will say the words and opinions she also wants to hear, for Li Lianying, there is no need to express his own opinions, he only needs to provide the news that the Empress Dowager Cixi wants to see, and the rest does not need to talk about it at all.

He is very clear about An Dehai's experience, this lesson is that he can't be involved too much with the foreign dynasty at the same time, when the errand has selfishness, of course, this kind of selfishness is not necessarily a bad thing, but with selfishness, when the errand is easy to deviate, many times will not affect the interests of the palace, but as long as it affects once, it will affect once at a critical time, then it is a great blow to his position.

If you are still merciful everywhere, or make friends with foreign ministers, or step on or praise someone, it may cause related contradictions and disputes.

"I didn't think he was so stubborn a while ago, but now I don't know what's going on, I'm about to be old, and I blindly seek stability in everything, and my heart is much softer," Empress Dowager Cixi didn't expect Li Lianying to answer anything, but muttered to herself, "Hey," she has been doing so many things over the years, especially the recent Vietnam incident and the Eight Banners reform, and finally understands that in fact, this road, from beginning to end, is the only one to go.

What she thinks, what she pursues, and when she says it, about no one will believe that a woman will have such lofty ideals and goals, not only to rule the country with a curtain, this is just a means, a beginning, and the ultimate goal is to compete with other countries in the world, so that China will stand on the top of the world's nations, Prince Gong He will not understand this pursuit.

Of course, it can't be said that Prince Gong is not a minister, he is a rare figure in the late Qing Dynasty who can open his eyes to see the world, and the number one hero who does foreign affairs, but his current point of view, of course, cannot be said wrong, quite a taste of Taoguang in later generations, never hegemon, never come out, patiently practice internal strength behind closed doors, it seems to be right from a steady point of view.

It's just that the current situation is different from that of later generations, the main line of later generations is development and peace, which is of course a disguise, and the actual connotation is that the power of the great powers has reached a balance, and the great powers will never use frontal war to dismember China.

And this era is a world of great contention!

Don't think that the great powers still retain the integrity of China after Xin Chou to prove that the great powers have no ambition to carve up China, it is because they are too involved with each other, and there are fights between each other, so China has been able to maintain its formal integrity, Rao is so, but Outer Mongolia, Outer Xing'an Mountains, and the land of the West Sea have all been lost, and the surrounding subject countries have also been deprived of everything.

Today's foreigners do not know etiquette, interests first, defeat China if they can grab far more benefits than doing business with the Chinese, then they will not hesitate to start a war, the law of the jungle is red fruit, but in this era is the most correct.

Can't let it, can't retreat, take a step back is the abyss! Today's China, of course, has changed far more than in the same period, with more silver, and it looks even richer, and foreigners are naturally more red-eyed. And what you want is very big, so there will naturally be more contradictions, and people's hearts will be more complicated. In this way, the form is more chaotic than before, and if you are not careful, you will die without a place to be buried.

"Sixth Master, he didn't see far enough, he saw the duty room of the Military Aircraft Department, and if he was a little farther away, he couldn't see it," the Empress Dowager Cixi said indifferently, "I see farther than him." She ended the topic cleanly, and sprinkled all the fish food into the fish pond, and the bamboo fish jumped and danced, drawing a blue figure on the water, "It's called Gao Xinkui." ā€

Gao Xinkui knew that the queen mother was going to summon herself, and had been waiting in the Qinzheng Hall for a long time, and was summoned, and quickly arrived at the frank and swinging Suxin Hall, which is the place where the emperor drove here to play and rest, there is a Qingyun-like Taihu Lake exquisite stone in front of the Su Xin Hall, which floats towards the sky in a zigzag, this Taihu Lake stone is very hollow, and I don't know what year a Lingxiao flower has grown from the stone cave and leans out, and the orange lantern-like Lingxiao flower is covered with the entire Taihu Lake stone, so it is named, "Yuyun",, The Empress Dowager Cixi looked up at the Taihu Lake Stone, and when Gao Xinkui arrived, she turned her head and said bluntly, "Prince Gong doesn't want you to pestle at the military plane, what do you mean?" ā€

"Wechen is still in charge of the freedom of the Shengping Agency," Gao Xinkui said, "It is difficult to move an inch in the Military Aircraft Department, although he is in charge of the military aircraft Zhang Jing, but in the end he still can't help the Queen Mother, and Weichen is incompetent." ā€

The foreman of the military machine Zhang Jing is about the position of the secretary general of the State Council in the future, although the position is not high, but the authority is extremely heavy, and the government decree should be issued and uploaded through his hands, the Empress Dowager Cixi let Gao Xinkui here, indicating her attitude, that is, Gao Xinkui will be of great use in the future, the former Zhu Xueqian and Cao Yuying are from this position, but now Prince Gong is dissatisfied, naturally he can't tolerate Gao Xinkui to continue to be in the military aircraft, such a complicated position, it is almost impossible not to make mistakes, these days, Regarding the leakage of the Eight Banners reform plan, Gao Xinkui suffered a lot of impeachment excerpts, believing that the reason was that he "was careless and leaked the forbidden Chinese language, which led to changes."
