"Today's micro-ministers are listening to the deliberations of the West Sage and the Minister of Military Aircraft on the side, the will of the West Sage, no one dares to obey the order, and now declare war with the legal person, everything is from the power and urgency, there is no such prevarication effort, only the cabinet ministers who can uphold the will can play a role in wartime, China is indeed big, but big, it is bloated, and the action is not fast enough, to fight with the French, this vigorous and resolute, is not wrong. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Empress Dowager Cixi nodded, "What you said is also true," she is also fed up with discussing everything in the military aircraft department every day. "In the past, Prince Gong was unwilling to do anything with the French and was unwilling to reform the Eight Banners Ding Yin, and I endured it, but now that war has been declared with the French, a half-hearted military aircraft department must not be allowed to exist, and the military aircraft department must have the same heart as me."

The palace maid offered white fungus pear soup, and Cixi drank a few sips with a small silver spoon, "Xiao Lizi said, Gui Xiang killed the Guerjia clan, Wang Kaiyun, do you think this is true?" ”

"Cheng Engong won't be able to, right?" Wang Kaiyun said, "Killing the Guerjia clan will not be of much benefit to Cheng'en Gong. ”

"But it has benefited me, I have brought down Prince Gong, although I was slapped in the face, in the long run, I have indeed benefited." The Empress Dowager Cixi pursed the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, "I want to ask Gui Xiang, but I don't dare, I'm afraid it's true." ”

"This is very likely to be true," Wang Kaiyun said, "Otherwise, the Guerjia clan will not die suddenly, this matter, in the future, there will be no less rumors outside, if you deal with Chengen Gong openly, people outside will also think that the West Holy Lord is looking for a scapegoat, after all, ......"

"He's my own brother," the Empress Dowager Cixi sighed, "Everyone in the world will think that I did it, and no one believes me, so Gui Xiang thinks that I will let him go?" ”

"What does the West Sage mean?"

"You go and ask him on my behalf, you're right, I can't attack him, otherwise it will confirm the rumors that I killed the Guerjia clan." Empress Dowager Cixi said.

"There is no doubt about Cheng Engong's loyalty to Xisheng." Wang Kaiyun said.

The Empress Dowager Cixi sneered slightly, noncommittal, "Approximately, there may still be loyalty now, but I don't want to look at people from the perspective of goodness now, he wants to be Wang Mang, but I am not Wang Zhengjun!" The Empress Dowager Cixi said indifferently, "You two are my right-hand men," the Empress Dowager Cixi glanced at Wang Kaiyun and Li Lianying, "I'll put this here today, I need someone to be on an errand and give me advice, but I definitely don't need someone who will make up for me!" Gui Xiang is like this, he thought it was good for me, but in fact he stirred me into a whirlpool of right and wrong! If there is such a thing in the future, I will not show mercy! ”

Li Lianying knelt down, Wang Kaiyun bent down, "Huh." ”

"I'm tired from a busy day today, so go out of the palace," the Empress Dowager Cixi said to Wang Kaiyun, "and send a telegram to the south after you go out, and the affairs there must be done immediately!" ”

"Yes."

Wang Kaiyun turned around and was about to leave, but he might as well be stopped by the Empress Dowager Cixi again, "Renqiu," a cold voice sounded behind Wang Kaiyun, she shouted Wang Kaiyun's words coldly, and her eyes were indifferent, "In a few days, the edict appointing you as the envoy of the general administration will be issued, you know the affairs in the south, I have fulfilled your wishes, if you are half-hearted and can't be a good errand, then, even if I allow you, heaven will not tolerate you, understand?" If you understand, go back, in a few days, you will be busy. ”

"Little Lizi, why are you still kneeling, don't you get up quickly?"

Li Lianying knelt on the ground and refused to get up, "Please punish the Queen Mother." ”

"Gui Xiang is right, but what I said is also right, I don't want the people under me to make their own decisions, if you want to plead guilty, then go to the Shen Penal Division to receive ten whips, so as not to forget who you want to be loyal to, you don't have to serve today, come and comb my hair tomorrow morning." The Empress Dowager Cixi stood up and walked out, "Go back to Chuxiu Palace." ”

During the Qing Dynasty, Qinzhou was under the administration of Guangdong Province, so Guangxi was a completely inland province, and Guangdong also had direct land access to Vietnam.

Although the local military and civilians did not know about the defeat of Bac Ninh, Qinzhou was a border house, and it was extremely convenient for Vietnam to come, and the rumors had not stopped since the 20th of December last year, and the French were going to fight in Guangdong, saying that "the place where Kapok was opened would become French territory." He also said that the king of Vietnam had his whole family killed by the French, and there were now shadows of French devils outside Zhennan Pass, and the prefect of Qinzhou Prefecture was shocked three times a day, even if the New Year was not good, not to mention that there was a newly baked popular fried chicken in the political arena, who was a high-hearted man who held two positions in Guangdong and Futai, Guangxi, and was in Qinzhou Mansion for many days, of course, the ostensible reason was to deliver grain and grass to the front line.

If such a big man does anything under his rule, he will definitely not be able to eat and walk around when he arrives at the court, although he secretly slandered why Gao Daren wanted to come to see such a criminal official, but he did not dare to slack off, and arranged for the officials and police to escort Gao Daren.

Gao Xinkui got off the carriage outside the village here, on this day, he was not wearing an official uniform, but he was wearing homely clothes, holding a folding fan, and his demeanor was calm, but his face was sad, he waved his hand, let these people outside stay, and walked into the path between a large number of pineapple trees alone.

After a few turns, a few thatched huts were revealed in front, Gao Xinkui straightened his clothes, stepped forward and buckled the door, and a woman wearing coarse cloth clothes with a haggard face came out, Gao Xinkui bent down and saluted, "It turns out that Lord Gao is here, master," she turned her face and shouted inside, "Lord Gao is here!" ”

The woman opened the door and let Gao Xinkui in, Gao Xinkui entered the door, and there was a large courtyard in front of him, in which there was an old man with gray hair who turned his back to Gao Xinkui and bowed his head to make something, "What are you doing here at this time?" It's still the first month of the year, and it's not this time for the wicked to come to the door. ”

"Sir," said the woman complainingly, "please be seated, sir." ”

Gao Xinkui didn't sit down, and arched his hand towards the gray-haired stubborn back, "Dong Weng, I've been here many times and sent a lot of things, why is Mrs. still wearing her previous clothes." ”

The old man snorted slightly, turned around, hooked nose, thick and thick eyebrows, and a depressed look on his face, "A criminal official is not worthy of such a good thing, and besides, I am obedient, and I have not yet fallen to the point where I need you to relieve me." ”
