Princess Huiqing heard the news and turned her head to look at the queen mother, the queen mother was crooked on the kang, did not say a word for a long time, seemed to have fallen asleep, the palace maid who beat her legs quietly looked at the queen mother, the queen mother's chest silently rose and fell asleep, but her eyes flashed from time to time, "I know, you go down and bring my cigarettes, this time there are some addicts." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Huh."

"Yu'er, it's not early, you should leave early," the Queen Mother looked at the sky outside, it was already pitch black, the wind was mixed with snowflakes, hula hula came down, and stretched lazily, "The weather is not good, go back early to rest, and this girl's family can't smell the smoke and fire." ”

Princess Huiqing went out of Ningshou Palace, the Queen Mother was half-lying, and after a while, Li Lianying took the cigarettes imported from France, and the Queen Mother stretched her waist, and took the hand of the palace maid, and smoked beautifully, "The Japanese move quickly, and they can do it all at once." ”

"Please, Lafayette's order, do you want to tell the news to the two governors of Zhili and the Northeast."

"I said it was going to be said, but I'm afraid it's useless, unless I go to fight the Japanese now, otherwise wait for him to fight, this taste is really not good, as the saying goes," the Queen Mother skillfully spit out a few eye circles, "There has never been a thousand days to be a thief, there is no thousand days to prevent thieves, the taste of waiting is really uncomfortable." ”

"What does Galeries Lafayette mean? Let the Japanese move faster? ”

"Who wants to fight?" Empress Dowager Cixi glanced at Li Hongzhang, "The Japanese are now being troubled by us, this arms race, having a lot of fun, originally thought that they would tighten their belts to develop the navy, and they would always die of blood loss, but I didn't expect that the British were jealous of us, and blew a big breath on the Japanese, blowing them into big fat people. ”

"They can do what they want, no one cares, does they?" The Queen Mother slowly finished her cigarette and wrung out the cigarette butt in the ashtray of cloisonné enamel paint, "Does the household department want to choose a vassal state to take the lead as a pilot for issuing new coins?" ”

"Yes."

"If I were the head of the household, I would suggest that this pilot be put in North Korea," the Queen Mother said with a smile, "Aren't they living there with a bad life?" Concubine Min is so extravagant, the country is very down, in order for Jingya to be the mother of the North Korean country in the future, let's also help out, right? ”

"Lafayette is wise," Li Lianying answered, "These pus pockets must be completely sent out before they can be treated." ”

"The rest is nothing to prepare, you let Zai Yi go to North Korea more often, you can't always be majestic in the country, you have to be majestic when you go out, if you lose the prestige of this sect's disciples, I can't spare him when I come back."

"Huh."

The Queen Mother lay on the kang and supported her head with her hands, "It's really boring and tight these days, Xiao Lizi, don't you say?" ”

"What Lafayette said there," Li Lianying said with a smile, "Long live the filial piety of the Lord touches the heavens and the earth, Qingyi Garden is about to be repaired, I am afraid that in a few days, I will invite Lafayette to enjoy it, and the scenery is very good after rebuilding, Kunming Lake is several times larger than Fuhai, the water is rippling, the palace tower, looking at the past from afar, it seems to be Penglai Immortal Island." ”

"Then you have to go and see, the emperor's filial piety can never be disappointed," the queen mother nodded, "I heard that this Weng Tongyi is the head of the household department, and he is very concerned about the matter of repairing the garden?" ”

"Long live the will of the Lord, who dares to disobey?"

"That's good," said the Queen Mother with a smile, "then I'll wait for my sixtieth birthday next year." ”

Since it is November, the New Year will come soon, after the Spring Festival, to the third day of the first month of the twentieth year of Guangxu, the emperor issued a special edict, requiring all ministries and provinces to be ready to celebrate the sixtieth birthday celebration for the queen mother.

Chinese have always attached the most importance to the whole birthday, all the whole birthday is to be carried out in a big way, and the 60-year reincarnation, when the birthday is 10 years, that is, the birthday of the 10th year, is often more grand, especially the 60-year-old has a special significance. Because in traditional Chinese culture, sixty is a round of sixties, and the scale and form of birthday celebrations are more than in the past, which is reasonable. What's more, the Queen Mother is majestic, the people are very popular, and it is necessary to celebrate, now the Haiqing River Banquet, the four seas are peaceful, the country is prosperous and strong, and the birthday celebration is naturally needless to say. Therefore, in the first month, the emperor issued a special decree, appointing Prince Li as the "Prime Minister's Minister for the Celebration of Longevity", in charge of all ministries and vassal states and local provinces, and repeatedly explained that it was necessary to mobilize the strength of the whole country to do a good job in this matter.

The Ministry of Rites took the lead in taking out a congratulatory gift, that is, the "Tongzhi Dictionary", which was compiled by the Tongwenguan, the first Chinese-English translation dictionary, although the scale is not very large, only includes 10,000 commonly used English words, but this is the first in history is a dictionary of Chinese and foreign languages, which is particularly significant and far-reaching, especially in London for the sale of the book, in less than an hour, 3,000 copies sold out not only represents the love for this dictionary, It also illustrates a mysterious and longing idea for Far Eastern China, and the Times certainly will not let go of this opportunity to speak sourly, "China's ambition for the global scope of culture is already obvious. ”

This first gift, the Queen Mother liked it very much, she did not hesitate to praise words, but also asked to make persistent efforts, and then to compile a large dictionary of Chinese, French, Russian and German countries. Not to be outdone, the Hanlin Academy took out the book "Yingzong Shilu" nominally to write the life of Emperor Yingzong, but in fact, it was a careful process of summarizing the germination of the Westernization Movement in Tongzhi for more than ten years and beginning to make a big splash.

The Hanlin Academy has done a more pertinent thing. It is not limited to the view that rejects the Westernization movement. Wang Wenshao, as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, took the lead in hosting these two things. He was deeply praised by the Queen Mother and Emperor Guangxu.

Construction of the railway from Shengjing to Vladivostok also began, which was funded by the Ministry of Railways, the Governor of Zhili and the Governor of Northeast China, and was expected to be completed within three years. There has never been a country that needs the consent of a foreign country to do anything at home.

Where is the best news in the Navy, the Nanyang Naval Division, the Fujian Naval Division Warship Factory came to report that the latest destroyer has been successfully developed!
