C568 Ci An's imperial decree

Within Jingshan, within the Kiki's tower, it was unknown when the wind had started blowing, but the two windows that were not properly closed had been slammed open, waking up those stupefied faces.

"Xiao Letian did not kill an official? And no expulsion? Are you kidding me? " Ci An said coldly.

At this time, Qing San Ye seemed to have relaxed, the stone he was worried about had finally landed safely.

"Yes, Majesty! Xiao Letian did not kill the officials, nor did he rebel. He still kept the Tanggu under the control of the officials of the Qing Dynasty, the imperial government can still collect taxes, and the decree can still be passed down. The only thing that changed was the garrison. "

"Xiao Letian has been staying at the military grain city... All the way to the Battalion City Line, the New Army took over the local defense … "

"Is this not rebellion, or what?" Old Zu Bo was furious.

"The prime minister said it very clearly. The purpose of taking over the defense is to protect the people …" Hairy # 2 said coldly, "Maylor died miserably under the slaughter blade of the Tanggu, leading thousands of soldiers and robbing thousands of civilians. Tens of thousands of people were displaced as refugees … "The Prime Minister is only doing so to protect the citizens …"

"Bullshit!" The Old Ancestor's hair was all standing on end. "Which family's Prime Minister is he?" When had the Great Qing ever conferred this official position? "The people of Great Qing have their own army to protect us …"

"But the troops of the Great Qing were killing the citizens of the Great Qing! This was the truth of Tie Zheng's words … Old Ancestor, you are also a person who roamed everywhere. Do you dare to touch your chest and swear that the soldiers of the Great Qing have not massacred the people of Great Qing? "

"Swear! You swear by all the ancestors of your art... I want to see if you dare to say something heartless! "

"You …" He had worked all his life for the imperial family, and no matter how dangerous the situation was, he had always been there. He had even personally witnessed the brazen killing of civilians.

With Maylor's temperament, the massacre of the citizens was most likely true.

"Enough! Keep your mouths shut... I has a headache! " Ci An rubbed his temples in pain.

At this time, a faint voice sounded out from behind the crowd. It turned out that Fu Hui had woken up. "Empress Dowager, this servant is willing to swear on the honor of our ancestors that my man …" "They won't rebel!"

Fu Hui struggled up to fight, and spoke with determination: "My man, is a strange man that is rarely seen in the world, what he resists is the injustice of this world, the ugliness of the world, and he himself doesn't have the ambition to become emperor!"

"To the court that is leaking air everywhere, my man is a medicine, not a poison. If you accept my man, the court will definitely vomit and be dizzy. It will definitely be difficult to live and die …" But I won't die! "

"If we continue to walk the same path as before, we might even learn from my elder cousin, our Empress Dowager Xi … Manchu might still have tens of years of peace and quiet tea, but that tea was laced with poison, and sooner or later, we will all die! "

"Atrocious words, truly frightening words! You, Fu Hui, are also an important figure in the Three Flags, how did you let Xiao Letian brainwash you to such an extent? " The Old Ancestor was so angry that his beard began to tremble.

The hesitation in Ci An's eyes became even stronger, "Ferocious medicine? Poison? Do you mean Xiao Letian is better for our Manchu? "

At this moment, Mao suddenly spoke up. "This matter is urgent. This servant has to tell the empress dowager something else …" "We really don't have much time left in the Qing Dynasty. If we don't change things soon, we might lose the Central Plains and the mountains. Even the Imperial Court might not be able to protect us …"

Hairy Two flipped through the newspapers on the table and found a very small piece of tofu. On it was a statement that the British Prime Minister welcomed Xiao Letian to Europe.

"Empress Dowager, don't underestimate this statement. The story is really deep!" Why did the Englishman throw out an olive branch at Xiao Letian? Isn't it all because we were forced to retreat in Xinjiang, allowing Yaqub to reap the benefits time and time again? Isn't it just the Russian!?

"The British and the Russia are originally enemies. Facing the Russian's overbearing attacks, they are not strong enough. After all, the British are the strong navy and weak army! That's why they have to support other people to fight against the Russian … "

"We can't clear this place, the British won't be counting on us, and the other candidates aren't even suitable either. In the end, the British actually supported Yaqub, offering a lot of money and Gun s, wanting to dig Yaqub out from the Russian's clutches."

The British have already treated the Prime Minister as a chess piece for East Asia, an important chess piece that can support and fight against the Russian! "Heh heh, poor princes of the imperial court, has anyone analyzed this point?"

"In addition, there is a top secret intelligence report that I want to divulge to the empress dowager … "The Tsar of Moscow has already started to prepare the Trans-Siberian Railway …"

"From Moscow, head east, through the mountains, dense forests, and eternal frozen lands until the Haishenwai. godfather once said that once this road is built, it can be completed in twenty years …"

"When that time comes … The army of the Russian got on the carriage from Moscow, and it would arrive at the Black Dragon River in seven days' time at the slowest. Xiang Army... "

With a crisp smack, the lid bowl in Ci An's hands shattered. Her face had already become deathly pale. "What you said was all false, all false …"

Hairy # 2 calmly said to Empress Dowager of the East, "Unfortunately, what I said is all true … When the Trans-Siberian Railway came to the Haishenwai, did Her Majesty think that the Russian would not go outside to cultivate? I think they will build the railway to the Shengjing, to Jinzhou... "Under the pressure of a million strong army, the imperial government had no power to resist at all. It had no power at all …"

"Enough... Er Mao, you traitor, look at how infuriated the empress dowager is! "Hurry up and shut up …" Zhou Daoying could not take it anymore.

Just as Zhou Daoying was about to use his status as the head eunuch to suppress Er Mao, the sound of hurried footsteps came from outside the hall. A loyal eunuch hastily ran over.

"Reporting to Chief Eunuch, another secret letter has arrived from outside …" "The defending army costs two thousand silver, this servant has already given it to you …"

"What are you saying!?" "Don't give me money …" Mao snatched the silk envelope from the eunuch's hand, opened it, glanced at it, and immediately handed it to Her Majesty.

"New pigeon messenger, please make your decision quickly!"

Ci An took the silk scroll, and after he read through it in ten lines, his entire body shivered. Ci Xi, you really want to dig out our Manchu's roots! " San Ye looked at it coldly, and couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air.

"Li Hongzhang sent troops to the capital? Damn, are the Chinese soldiers here to kill our Manchu? Was this Ci Xi's trump card? "Stupid …" The Qing San Ye nearly smashed the table to pieces.

Fu Hui then said in a faint voice, "Ah, Yehonala! "It really is the woman from Yehonala's family …"

The words struck Ci An's brain like lightning and the terrifying legend of the Xiluo's family surfaced in his mind. This was the last straw that broke the camel's back, and finally, Ci An made up his mind.

"Fuqing, what about the third question I asked just now? "It seems like you haven't given me an answer yet …"

Maylor's three questions, whether he would lose or not, there were already answers to them now. Whether he would rebel or not, many people had already given their guarantee.

Hearing that, everyone's eyes turned to look at Fuqing, the meaning behind that sentence was too obvious, Ci An was going to use San Ye again, a new star in Beijing's politics was going to be born.

"Fuqing, you have to think about it carefully. As long as you have the ability, I will be able to hand over the affairs of the Total to you. A first rank official cannot escape, and even being able to become a king and pay respects is not impossible …"

"Hehe!" Isn't your Fuqing famous reformist? Don't think that I don't know those friends of yours. As long as you have the ability, I can forgive their crimes and I can officially recognize your Reformist's position! "

San Ye sucked in a breath of cold air and subconsciously looked at the Old Ancestor. However, he found that the Old Ancestor had already used his perceptive eyes to look at him.

Mu Ge, Erlei, Cheng Huai, Shi Shan, Shi Shui … Then there was Luo Hao, Wen Xiu, all the familiar names, and the familiar faces that flashed in San Ye's mind.

This was his own direct descendant, a small group of people that he had formed using Xiao Letian's knowledge and wealth.

That's right, he was Reformist, who was currently locked up in the entire city. However, Prince of Alcohol was only capturing the outskirts, and at most, was just a bunch of alleyway.

San Ye's forehead was already covered in sweat, he really did not know if his ability could take on this heavy responsibility, but he knew that there was no path of retreat, this battle had already branded itself as the power of Empress Dowager of the East, and there was no possibility of change.

"Empress Dowager, Xiao Letian's Western learning skills are unfathomable. This subject might not dare to speculate too much, but there is one thing this subject dares to guarantee … In the Manchu of the Great Qing, there are very few people who can surpass me in western studies! "

"Hm!" What you said was the truth, and with this truth, I felt at ease … Someone, bring a brush and ink over here! "

Ci An wrote an imperial edict onto the white silk with his own handwriting. In the end, he picked up the imperial edict and coldly said, "If you, Ci Xi, can move Li Hongzhang into the capital, then you can invite the new army to the west. I want to see who the real powerful of the two Chinese is!"

"Er Mao, this is I's imperial decree, deliver it to Xiao Letian quickly and let him lead the troops into the capital! Hehe, back then the imperial government could hire the British to help out the Long Hair, and now we can also hire the new army of the Ryukyu to fight the rebellion … "

"Pass I's imperial decree: Fuqing, diligent in matters of the king, loyal to the nation and proficient in foreign affairs, appointed as the official minister of the second stage of Head Office … Fuqing, you are already the second strongest person in the Head Office, other than you, this is Prince Kung! Don't disappoint I! "
