Chapter 18: Enguan Domestic and Overseas
These days, I was basically safe and sound. I didn’t know if I was secretly guarding me, or if I was preparing to deal with me, or if the improvement of Longyu’s relationship with me played a positive role, Cixi had nothing to bother me these days, so she hadn’t even heard of heavy words for a long time.
After Weng Tonghe handed over the banner of the Summer Palace written by me, Cixi liked it very much, so she immediately found someone to make a plaque and placed it in the front hall of Chuxiu Palace. It was named first, and it also meant to urge the project.
The military reform matters I decided early on, as Deng Shichang was summoned, and the British Armstrong Shipyard had not yet heard back, so it was temporarily stopped there. As for the innovation in firearms, Cixi had not eliminated for a day, and I don’t want my invention to be used to deal with me in the future.
My father, Prince Chun, showed signs of deterioration of his body. Yesterday, he brought news that Yihuan was bedridden and everyone in the family was panicked. Naturally, I was anxious, so although I knew it was useless, I still sent an imperial physician to inspect. The news was also reported to Cixi. Cixi was stunned for a while before murmured that she would go to see him for a few days.
The good thing is not without it. Zai Deng is young and energetic. In addition, I specially made him easy-going and as a prince and prince of the old prince, Duke Zhenguo, he quickly established prestige among the palace guards. As far as I saw, Zai Deng performed very well.
Sheng Xuanhuai, who was summoned at the same time as Deng Shichang, came early. I arranged for him to go to Shanxi to find a businessman named Qiao Zhiyong to discuss the future constitution of the Royal Bank of the Qing Dynasty. If the Qiao surnamed Qiao is willing to invest, he can promise him future benefits. The specific conditions will be determined by Sheng Xuanhuai himself. Of course, if there are foreign banks who are willing to join the shares, they will also handle this. But the condition is that we must have the initiative. Sheng Xuanhuai himself is also an economic expert, and I am very confident in doing this.
These days I also saw Gangyi who was transferred from the position of governor of Jiangsu. Although I knew that he was a cadre of the Later Party, I was still angry by his contemptuous eyes. I scolded him in the court, and then asked Zaiyan to arrange the old subordinates of the Shenji Camp to give him Gangyi a warning. Later, Zaiyan heard news that Gangyi lit ten fires while testing the guns in the inspection arsenal, but they were all squinting. He was so angry that he cursed Jing Rui. I arranged for Zaiyan to be a good person at the right time and spent some money to comfort the soldiers who were signaled by Enzo to quietly tamper with the fire.
But the good news is that after Jing Rui learned about the pistol, Gangyi immediately raised the matter to the level of presenting a gift to the Queen Mother's birthday, ordered Enzo to put down all the chores, and be sure to drive it out as soon as possible, and ordered the guards of the Shenji Camp to strengthen their vigilance. Without his handwriting, they would not be allowed to enter. Those who let outsiders enter privately were killed immediately. After hearing this news, I was very happy. Gangyi really wanted to prevent me, an old man from whom I don't know where to steal his first title. For nothing, I'll cooperate with him. After searching for an afternoon, I went to Shenji Camp again with Zaiwen. Sure enough, the soldiers guarding the camp did not dare to let us in. Zaiwen could not make any money. The noise was so big that it was almost aroused that Gangyi was about to attract Gangyi. We left cursing and left. We couldn't hold it in, so we couldn't hold it in, so we burst out of the Shenji Camp.
Zai Yi's sect also accelerated its movements. Enzo came to report that Zai Yi's butler Fusheng had personally seen him and saw the pistol production. He said that Prince Rui admired him very much and wanted to be promoted to his official position. I know that Zai Yi was thinking that he was not dead fast enough. Enzo said that the pistol would be ready in ten days at most. I just don't know whether it was tough or Zai Yi, or whether Zai Yi came to present the pistol to me. Hey, it would be better for the two of them to go together.
At the same time, there was news of good news about Zai Yili. His accomplice Ronglu got the shortage of the general of Xi'an as he wished, and went to Xi'an happily to take office. In addition, Xiao Dezi also told me that Kou Liancai had come to me twice, and looked anxious, saying that he had something to say to me alone, so I summoned him in the study of Yangxin Palace. Kou Liancai told me that Cixi had asked Longyu several times about the harmony of our sexual affairs, and asked why he always didn't see any joy? Later, Pu Jun came to the palace and heard what Li Lianying said by chance, as if he wanted to use Pu Jun to deal with me. I appeased Kou Liancai's allegiance, and snorted coldly in my heart: I just wanted to adopt Pu Jun to me, it doesn't matter, I don't want my son? Let's see how I'll kill you.
Today, after Yuan Shikai returned to North Korea, he showed the courage of a capable man. With Li Hongzhang's acquiescence, he had to ask Li Hongzhang to redirect all the leaders who impeached him, Wu Zhaoyou and others who opposed him. North Korea's eight thousand Qing troops were completely under his control. After receiving his warning, Queen Min also slightly restrained her. Around the Japanese Embassy, Yuan Shikai also arranged a secret spy, even
As for him, he also used various relationships such as money and arranged his third concubine's brother to the Japanese embassy for a general interpretation. In dealing with the Japanese, I did need him. On his memorial, I wrote a few lines of words in red pen and red to briefly indicate Wen Mian. As for his proposal to send a royal family member to a country to be residing in Korea, I refused. The reason was very simple. I was worried that those who were not close to me, but those who were close to me were not at ease. I was in the time to use people and could not be sent out.
After reviewing a few more memorandums, I called Xiao Dezi to greet Cixi's Palace.
The guards all changed all the way today. I couldn't help but feel shocked, thinking that there would be nothing that would be unfavorable to me, right? But when I walked to Chuxiu Palace, I felt a heart that was lifted and I saw Zai Teng wearing a new official uniform. It seemed that he had been promoted. When he saw me coming, he quickly knelt down and squeezed his eyes at me.
When I entered the door, I realized that my mother was there too.
Cixi's face was a little gloomy. When she saw me, she shook her hand and greeted: "Emperor, I'm spared. Today, we will talk to each other, so we don't need those vain rituals."
I nodded from afar and walked in, but saw Princess Chun wipe the tears on her face, and said with red eyes: "Emperor, Master Qi..."
Zai Bing told me that I was mentally prepared, but he still asked in his heart: "What's wrong?"
"I got up yesterday and couldn't eat anymore and couldn't speak. I was fine a few days ago, but suddenly..."
Cixi still said with a gloomy face: "Emperor, have you sent to the imperial physician?" Seeing me nodding, she then sighed and comforted Princess Chun and said: "It's also my fault. I had known that Qi Master was not in good health, so she sent him to build a garden. Qi Master is tired for our Qing Dynasty."
You also know that I met her gaze and said, "Dad, my son wants to go and see Master Qi."
In the huge Chuxiu Palace, there was a silence. After a while, Cixi said, "Emperor, you don't forget your true nature, and I'm happy too. The Seventh Master is the wise king who has made great contributions in my dynasty. It's the emperor who should go and see it. Well, why don't you announce the imperial edict now, and you'll stop working for a day tomorrow."
He turned to Princess Chun and said, "Sister, you must also be tight. I know that you are a person born cold-hearted, but we sisters are united and have any unpleasant things. Don't cover up and say it out. If you can do it, sister will do it for you. If you can't do it, don't you have an emperor." After that, he turned to look at me.
I nodded and said, "Yes, my son will do it with all his heart."
"Listen! Our son is so filial. Sister, what else do you have to worry about?"
"Oh, I just don't feel at ease with this child..." Princess Chun was silent for a while, and suddenly burst into tears again and said whimpering.
Cixi looked at her and sighed, "Oh, yes. The Seventh Master is the king of iron hats that I have inherited from this dynasty. He is the emperor's biological father. Sister, you have given birth to four children and two have died long ago. The second brother has become the emperor again. This prince is not your fourth brother, so it's no wonder you have a knot in your heart. I think this way, Zai Bing is nineteen years old, it's time to take the lead for him. Li Lianying, tell me what I mean, Zai Bing is the Duke of Jin Zhen, and is given the title of Minister of Guards."
"Zhe, I will receive the decree of the Lafayette." Li Lianying said loudly.
"How did this happen?" Princess Chun got off the chair and knelt down and said, "Lao Fu just promoted him to eight points and eight points, and now he has been favoring him again. Within this day, he has been favoring him twice, and I am afraid that this child will not be able to bear this grace. Besides, Zai Bing is also a little younger...I am afraid that he will miss the national affairs."
Cixi also got off the chair and helped Princess Chun up and said, "Girl, get up, let alone such a detached person, why can't he bear it? What can't I bear the blood of Master Qi and my sister? Besides, what can I bear the blood of Master Qi? Besides, when I was the Saint Grandpa, Gao Shiqi moved seven times a day. When I came closer, I would say how much effort did our Master Qi take from his son to the prince of Iron Hat who was inherited from the Beizi to the inherited prince? Sister, as a minister, as long as he is loyal, he will not be able to bear the grace!"
After drinking a sip of water, he continued, "When it comes to age, he is not young at the age of nineteen. Thinking about his father, our Seventh Master was the chief commander of the Han army of Zhenghuang Banner, the Minister of the Inner Guards, the Minister of the Imperial Court, the Minister of the Imperial Court, and the Minister of the Later Hu, he was in charge of the affairs of the Punchao Camp, the Office of Fengchenyuan, the Musket Battalion, and the Shenji Camp. How old was Seventh Master at that time? He was not twenty-one years old, and he was the same age as our emperor!"
"Then... I've thanked my sister for this child..."
"Emperor? You think it's okay to do this?" Cixi suddenly turned around and asked me. I was thinking about what she meant to be so kind to Yu Zai-chan. She had no idea at all. Suddenly, she heard her ask me and nodded quickly, "Dad said so much." He said that it seemed to be explaining to me how kind he is to Lao Qi's room. If so, there are two possibilities: one is to show kindness to me, and the other is... maybe to stabilize me first, right? Then, I have to be faster.
Cixi smiled and said, "Girl, come here and sit down. Zaixun and Zaitao are not your children. I am also polite and kind. Both are kind. Xiaoqi Zaitao, your little boy, is handsome, I like it very much. It happened that I saw Yimo a few days ago and said he had no children in his old age. I was pitiful when I saw him, thinking that he couldn't let him break up. Besides, although Yimo was a Beizi, he was holding a Beile Jue and had served as the supervisor of the Chongwen Sect. The family property was very rich. After that, it was a ready-made Xijue Beizi, and he had a large inheritance. What do you think about this? " (Note: Cixi really likes Zaitao. To be precise, she likes the children of Prince Chun's family very much. Prince Chun's sixth son Zaixun will be introduced in the next chapter.)
Princess Chun's face changed when she heard her talk about Zai Tao. Now Cixi asked, but she changed again. After stammering for a moment, she replied: "This girl can't make the decision. Zai Tao is Liu Jia's child. Besides, this child is also young..."
"This is a good thing..." Cixi said without discrimination: "It's all right, I'll take Liu Jia as the decision. Li Lianying, go and pass on my words."
"twitter--"
I sat there for a long time. When I heard these two women talking about adoption, I was just thinking about her intention. Could it be that she has changed her sexual intercourse?
