The emperor took a few quick breaths, and the Queen Mother continued, "The current Berlin Conference is a good opportunity, if we go to India again now and want to occupy some land, it will not work, it has already been occupied by the British first, this meeting, as long as Zeng Jize is over there, and our domestic cooperation is a few times, we can get the land of Africa without much effort, why not?" If you miss this village, there will be no next store, if you have to raise troops with other countries in the future, for example, we will fight with the Russians in the West Sea and the North Sea and get some land, then the price will be even greater, with the land of Africa, then in the future the sailors will have their own ports and strongholds, we can go anywhere, the Suez Canal, of course, we can also play our real role. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"My father, Shengming Yuan, my son is really impressed, you are right, Africa has a stronghold and land, and in the future, businessmen will inevitably make a living as maritime merchants, these places can be used as transit, then the maritime Silk Road that flourished in the Song and Yuan dynasties can be seen again!"

"You are right, a strong military always has to serve the economy," the Queen Mother said a very popular sentence in the future, "If you can think of this, that is the best, instead of waiting for foreigners to do business in China, it is better for us to take the initiative with merchant ships." ”

The Queen Mother took a sip of tea and moistened her throat, "The British have been too arrogant over the years, they have hit the nail in the Boer, and they will continue to offend all countries in the world, why the Berlin Conference will be held, it is because the rest of the countries are a little dissatisfied with the British, so the Germans jumped out and wanted to preside over the dispute over the Congo River Basin. If you don't stare at him, who are you staring at? Of course, I can't say that we will fight with the British, we must be self-aware, but it is still possible to add some blockage to him in Africa, not to mention that we can unite other countries to fan the flames, so that he must put out the fire one by one everywhere, so as not to worry about how our China is doing all day long, and point fingers at us. ”

Seeing the heated conversation between the Empress Dowager Cixi and Emperor Guangxu, the concubine of Emperor Li couldn't help but smile and said, "Niangniang, why are you so happy to chat?" But it's really busy, and I can't watch this play cleanly, so it's better to tell the concubines about it, so let's be happy. ”

"What's the matter, isn't it the new skin I told you about last time?" The Queen Mother said with a smile, "Africa is ready to occupy a few pieces of land back, although the skin in Africa is not the best, but the color is bright, and the ordinary is not the same, there is a kind of giraffe, that is, the so-called 'unicorn' that attacked the former Ming, the pattern is very good-looking, and the rhinoceros elephant cheetah, are the best things," the Queen Mother is obviously ambitious and has a very mood, "In the future, build a zoo in the western suburbs, and transport all the rare and exotic beasts of Africa back, and put the big guys for fun, Do you think it's good? ”

"Naturally, it's excellent," Emperor Li's concubine smiled, "Our concubines are going to entrust the Empress Dowager again." ”

"You don't have to trust us, we will be filial to the emperor in the future, so we will eat and drink every day and wait for the emperor to serve us." The Queen Mother smiled at Emperor Guangxu and said, "Emperor, did you say it?" ”

"What my father said is very true," Emperor Guangxu hurriedly said, "My son has already thought about it, the three gardens of the Old Summer Palace were built by the Renzong Dynasty at the latest, after so many years, although it has been repaired repeatedly, but in the end it is old, the son thought, take the opportunity to build a new garden, repair the Qingyi Garden, and then build some palaces, so that my father can also have some new attractions to play." ”

Before the Queen Mother could speak, Emperor Li's concubine sighed, "Qingyi Garden is a good place for Emperor Gaozong to recuperate for the Empress Dowager Chongqing, and the Kunming Pool there is several times larger than the Fuhai of the Old Summer Palace, and the scenery is the most beautiful." She smiled at the Empress Dowager Cixi, "The emperor is indeed filial. ”

The Queen Mother smiled slightly, Qingyi Garden, isn't that the Summer Palace in the future? Renovated again? She shook her head slightly, "There is no silver in the treasury now, and it will take a few years for the new currency to be issued, and then there will be some silver saved, and the new garden in the west of the Old Summer Palace will cost a lot of silver in the future, and the construction funds must be close to there first. Now the silver is not enough, wait until the future to talk about it, the horizontal and vertical Kunming Lake is there, I can't escape, the emperor's filial piety I received, not in a hurry. ”

Emperor Guangxu's eyebrows moved slightly, and he hurriedly said, "Yes, my son listens to his father." ”

After the big guy is watching the play seriously, this time it is rare to have a group of "Qing'e Le" Sichuan Opera serving here, although it is not a big drama, but the "White Snake Legend" of the "Rolling Building", "Hanging Beating", "Jinshan Temple" three excerpts of the play are excellent, especially in the "Jinshan Temple" fold, the demons and monsters Wei Tuo Hum Ha two generals all appeared, and there is the most famous face in the Sichuan Opera to breathe fire, etc., everyone is very thrilling to watch, even the most picky Empress Dowager Cixi can't help but nod, "Sichuan Opera is really very weird and beautiful, Engaging in these weird things is indeed better. ”

So it was another reward, a bag of gold and silver naked, a few horses of tribute satin, and Prince Li, who was sitting at a table on the side, said with a smile, "Won the praise of the Western Holy Lord, their team can be regarded as having a golden job in the capital." ”

"Then I still want to be the Bole of King Li," the Empress Dowager Cixi turned her head and smiled at Prince Li, "Without your recommendation, even if I want to give them golden rice bowls, I can't find a place." ”

After a while, the eunuch in charge of the imperial dining room came to tell him, saying that lunch had been obtained, "Since you have it, let's prepare to eat first, this is arranged, since there are foreigners, I will deal with them with the emperor and the emperor, what about you," she turned her head to the concubines and said, "You follow Prince Li Fujin and they are happy, eat by yourself, and if you want to listen to the play, you can continue to listen, and you don't need to be polite." ”

The Queen Mother got up, the emperor also quickly stood up, and the two of them walked out of the listening stage here, and when they arrived at the place to eat, the ambassadors of various countries had already arrived, and there were not many ambassadors invited today, so it should be said that there were not many ambassadors who arrived today, and the Queen Mother didn't care much.
