Chapter 116: Lafayette, foreigners are coming to build a railway for us

Beijing, Forbidden City.

In front of the magnificent Ningshou Palace, the chief eunuch Li Lianying was holding a chapter in his hand, and was hurriedly walking towards the gate of Ningshou Palace along the aisle between the two high palace walls.

Beyond the gate, Li Lianying entered the Ningshou Palace. Familiar with the door through the front of the palace group of the nine dragon wall, the Huangji Gate, bypassing the Huangji Hall behind the door, and then stepping into the Ningshou Gate. Behind the door is the most solemn building in the front half of the entire Ningshou Palace complex, and it is also one of the main buildings from which its name comes from. However, Li Lianying did not enter it, but once again bypassed Ningshou Palace and walked into the second half of the complex.

Unlike the solemn palace built in the first half of the palace, which has a political role, the second half of Ningshou Palace is a sleeping palace, so the style is relatively gentle.

As soon as she stepped into the back of Ningshou Palace, in front of Li Lianying was the main hall of the dormitory standing in the middle of the road. However, Li Lianying did not go forward, but turned a corner and went to the direction of the East Road.

Along the way, Li Lianying passed through the courtyard of Changyin Pavilion in the royal inner court, the pure and elegant courtyard of Qingshoutang, the wide and stretched, exquisite and elegant Gyeongbokgung Palace, and went straight to the Buddha Day Tower.

Li Lianying was in a hurry along the way, and when the palace maids and eunuchs along the way saw him, they all bowed their heads cautiously and saluted, 'Manager Li'.

However, Li Lianying, the powerful chief administrator in the palace, didn't even pay the slightest attention to these insignificant minions, and only walked by coldly as if they were nothing.

Although Li Lianying usually sees these palace maids and eunuchs, she always likes to pretend to be smiling and kind, watching them rush up one by one to pounce on them. However, when he didn't have the mood to tease them like a cricket, he didn't need to care about their opinions, he just put a cold face and showed his attitude, and these people naturally didn't dare to get closer.

In the entire inner courtyard of the palace, it can be said that in addition to the masters, Li Lianying is the most powerful person. For the ordinary eunuchs and palace maids in the palace, as long as he makes a move, he can make these people disappear without a trace at any time, which is not a problem for him.

Therefore, when these people saw the expressionless appearance of Manager Li at this time, they all dared not approach. These servants who are messing around in the palace, in essence, rely on observing words and emotions to serve various masters, and naturally they will not be bored at such a time. If there is really that kind of person, he will not be able to get into the position where Lafayette is located in Ningshou Palace, which is the center of power in the entire Forbidden City.

When she arrived at the Buddha Day Building, Li Lianying tightened the fold in her hand, her body stiffened, and she stepped into the building lightly, and walked to the lacquered gold Buddha statue in the center.

In front of the Buddha statue, there is an old lady wearing a golden phoenix bead and green velvet Xia Dynasty crown, wearing a bright yellow embroidered butterfly yarn robe, and holding a sandalwood Buddha bead in her hand.

This person is the most powerful person in the Qing Dynasty, Cixi Duanyou Kang Yi Zhaoyu Zhuang Chengshou Gongqin Chongxi Empress Dowager is also, the world calls her Empress Dowager Cixi, Lafayette, or Queen Mother Lafayette.

Li Lianying can be the chief eunuch of the powerful and fearless Da Nei outside, but in front of this person, she is a loyal and considerate dog named Xiao Lizi.

Therefore, when he saw that the master was chanting, even if there was a big matter in his hand, in order not to disturb the master's mood, he would not interrupt it silently, but just waited quietly with his body on his back.

In the middle of the ring, Cixi opened her eyes, as if she was aware of Li Lianying's arrival, and did not turn back, just turned her back to her, and said unhurriedly:

"It's Xiao Lizi, what's the matter?"

Cixi's voice was shrill and hoarse, matched by his mean face. If it weren't for the clothes on her body and the series of titles on her head, she would have looked like a snarky ordinary poisonous woman.

But if you face her, no one in this world will dare to have such a rebellious idea. Instead, he will search for dry intestines and come up with a long list of words full of praise, just to make her laugh, and this is the power of power.

"Back to Lafayette, it's a memorabilia sent by the Lord of Long Live to let the servants show you. ”

Xiao Lizi deliberately retracted his voice to prevent the eunuch's characteristic screeching voice from piercing his master's ears.

Cixi has gone through three generations of emperors, monopolized power, and ruled for countless years, and countless people in the court were supported by her, and even the emperor had to listen to her to sit firmly on the dragon chair. Although she has long been under the government of Emperor Guangxu, but at this time the world is turbulent, the Queen Mother Lafayette is worried about the Qing Dynasty, out of the Summer Palace, deliberately sitting in the Ningshou Palace, so after the emperor approves the major events of the imperial court, it must be approved by Lafayette to carry it out.

"What is the emperor going to do again? ”

After receiving the order, Xiao Lizi considered the sentence in his heart, and said to Cixi concisely:

"Lafayette, foreigners are coming to build a railway for us. ”

"Oh", Cixi's eyes narrowed, as if she knew something about it. But she didn't say anything, but asked lightly: "What does the emperor think of this matter?" ”

"Long Live Lord heard this, Long Yan was furious, and directly reprimanded the ambition of the foreigner wolf, and violated my heart of the Qing Dynasty Territory and did not die. Long live the Lord said that this matter must not be promised to foreigners, otherwise I am afraid that foreigners will be really difficult to govern in the future. ”

Quietly listening to Xiao Lizi describe the emperor's demeanor and movements at that time, Cixi made an understatement evaluation:

"The emperor is still too young, as a son of heaven, the emperor of the Great Qing Kingdom, it is not a good thing to be so young and vigorous, and not thoughtful. ”

Such an evaluation of the current emperor's words, only Cixi dares to say. When Xiao Lizi heard this, he quickly lowered his head, shrunk his head into his neck, and didn't dare to answer.

Cixi didn't care about Xiao Lizi's pretentious gesture, and continued:

"I know better than the emperor what foreigners think. But at this time, the foreigners are powerful, the army of our Qing Dynasty is not an opponent, and those untouchables in the country have begun to become unstable under the instigation of various forces, even if we don't agree, how can we refuse?"

"Over the years, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the Great Sword Society, and the chaotic parties of the White Lotus Sect have sprung up one after another, and the emperor has not thought about what the reason is?"

"It's still those untouchables who live too well, they don't know, if it weren't for my Qing Dynasty, if it wasn't for the rule of Aixin Jueluo, their lives would be more difficult!

Since the foreigners are going to build the railway, let them build it. Let the foreigners run rampant in the country, contact those untouchables, and let them see what they are in the eyes of the foreigners. ”

"When the time comes, these untouchables will definitely clash with the foreigners, and then be severely suppressed by the foreigners' foreign guns and cannons. As long as the anger of these untouchables is aroused, they will take the initiative to take up arms against the foreigners, as the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom did.

And even if those foreigners' foreign guns and cannons are powerful, they can still kill all the tens of thousands of untouchables in our Qing Dynasty? When the time comes, let the untouchables fight out the army of foreigners, and we will naturally be able to drive out foreigners. The world is still the world of my Qing Dynasty.

As for the untouchables, although they will be killed and wounded in the face of guns, they are like wild weeds growing madly in the fields. When the time comes, let those scholars be more educated, and they will be good people of the Qing Dynasty, and my Qing Dynasty will rule the world for thousands of years. ”

Opposite the statue of the Buddha with a compassionate face, to put it mildly, Cixi regarded the lives of countless people in the whole world as a chess piece to consume the strength of foreigners, such a heart-wrenching behavior is really outrageous.

However, after Xiao Lizi listened, he didn't care about the bloody breath in her words, and just said to Cixi with admiration:

"Lafayette strategized and won the 10,000-year victory, which is really unparalleled in wisdom. You, it's really for the Qing Dynasty, for the sake of the Long Live Lord. ”

"Hey," Cixi pretended to sigh and sighed, "If only the emperor could be so similar." ”

Then Cixi Zhengse said:

"The decree is that if foreigners want to build railways, let them build them, and no one can stop them. ”

"Huh. ”

Li Lianying agreed, and then slowly retreated to the door lightly, turned around and went to deliver the message.
