C569 Ci Xi's secret meeting

Just as Ci An was falling for the new sect, in the of the Forbidden City, Ci Xi, together with two conservative officials, Prince Kung Yi and Prince alcohol were sitting there sulking.

"Good, good, good. You've done well. In half a month, you haven't even managed to attack a single Jingshan. What use do I have for you all? Prince of Alcohol, you are Beijing's gate god, minister of nine city gates, how exactly did you manage to bring such a soldier along? "

"And you, the great Prince Kung, the great Prime Minister Minister Wang, how did you boost your morale, and how did you negotiate with the foreigners? Apart from the French who secretly supported us, there was not a single other person who supported us? Americans actually jumped out in deep concern? "

"Are all of you trash …" Ci Xi's roar echoed in the East Warm Pavilion.

The two men in front of her were both direct descendants of the Xiluo's family. They should both have very high statuses, but one of them was her brother-in-law while the other one had a relationship with her.

Ci Xi shouted for a long time, until his mouth was a little dry. Prince of Alcohol by the side quickly picked up a pot of ginseng soup from Grandma Tang's bowl and poured a cup for the empress dowager.

"The weather has turned cold on an autumn night. Drink a bowl of ginseng soup to warm your heart …"

Ci Xi was so angered by the Prince of Alcohol that he started laughing, "Hehe, do I need warmth? I'm full of anger right now, and you still want me to drink the ginseng soup … An Dehai! Give I a bowl of ice, I want to quell my anger! "

"Aiya, you can't. Even when it's autumn, you still need to use ice. Be careful not to hold the cold in your body, or else the winter will be hard on you. The empress dowager has to take good care of her body …"

"I …" Ci Xi looked at Prince alcohol's honest face. He was so angry that she wanted to pinch him.

The Prince Kung by his side couldn't help but laugh. "Forget it, the empress dowager should spare my seventh brother. The shrewdness in his heart isn't something that you can break with just a few words …"

I think that this round of palace changes should be enough right now, since it should be a negotiation, let s just go through all the records of history and never heard of palace changes being allowed to last for half a month. If this continues, aren't you afraid of the Chinese Officer being suspicious?

"I know, you have already contacted Li Hongzhang, but Shui Da cannot hide it from the Bodhisattva. As long as Ceng Guofan is here, Li Hongzhang will not be able to jump that high …"

"Now that the peace talks, you will not suffer any losses, and the late emperor's secret order will be burnt, you no longer have any remaining worries, so you have to properly negotiate with the Empress Dowager of the East, the two sisters will divide the authority points, why do you have to go so far?"

"Pah …" F * ck, which servant served him? Why is the tea stem still inside!? An Dehai... "How do you serve the tea brewer by pulling him out and whipping him ten times …"

Prince Kung was far more open than Prince of Alcohol, and his personality was also more outgoing. Once he took out his actions, Ci Xi's nose became crooked.

"Peace talks? What to talk about... "What's there to talk about now that we've already lost all decorum? We have to forcefully attack now, so we have to attack fiercely, and we have to watch her die …"

Ci Xi's face turned sinister, the temperature in the hall plummeted, but Ci Xi could not scare him anymore today, he could only see him chuckling, "Alright, my good empress dowager, you have to eat your fill, and walk the entire way, why do you have to care about your dignity?"

"There's only so much power in the imperial court. You should seize this opportunity to grab a few more, then grab a dozen or so eunuchs and guards and lie about your military affairs. The friendship between the empress dowager and the empress dowager will naturally be covered in torn skin. What are you afraid of?"

As he spoke, he suddenly put away his sloppy appearance from before and sat down upright, saying, "Esteemed Empress Dowager, Jiu Shuai sent me a secret letter last night. The words inside are extremely strong …"

"The Zeng Family brothers have already given their ultimatum, which means that your Manchu can ignore the internal affairs of the household, but we cannot mess around with the nation's constitution … To put it bluntly, we should not let our enemies get the upper hand. Right now, we are not truly Tongzhi in the middle of the competition! "

"One month, the Zeng Family brothers have already made it clear that one month is the limit of the time our Manchu can close our doors and solve the problem. In a month, the Xiang Army will probably interfere! "

The words in his mouth were incomparably cold, and caused the palms of Ci Xi's hands to go cold continuously when he heard them, "Good, good, good … This was a good subject of the Great Qing! So loyal! "

Yi Yu took another sip of the fragrant tea: "Don't talk back, this matter was done inappropriately by you, Xinjiang's Yaqub is almost a king, we can't even send a single soldier over, Central Plains's Twisted Army still hasn't completely calmed down, if not, another Huai Army will appear."

"There's also the pars dorsalis of Gan Shan. They are also ready to fight against the officials, who knows when they will start talking back. There's also the foreigners, and Xiao Letian …" The Great Qing is blowing everywhere now, and you still dare to mess with them? Do you think so? "

Pa! Ci Xi slapped the table and shouted. What can I do? What can we do with orphans and widows? Wu wu wu … "Ah, late emperor, why are you so biased? If I didn't have that secret decree, how could I have done anything else?"

This wail was not a fake, Yi Xuan and Yi Xiao could hear it, it was the wail of fear that Ci Xi had reached his limits. Since ancient times, when a woman entered a palace gate that was as deep as the sea, the pressure she felt when entering a palace was unimaginable. Not to mention the fact that they were all abnormal, the environment was already like this.

After crying for a while, Prince alcohol handed over a handkerchief. "Alright, Chendi knows what the empress dowager is crying about …" But this is the situation right now, we have to move forward! "

"The Chendi is incompetent, and is unable to protect the eight flags that surrounded and attacked the Jingshan. But the empress dowager should think about it, if the attacker were to make a move in this battle, would the eight flags still be eight?"

"In this world, how many people are there in our Manchu, and how many Han Chinese are there? If our Manchu, this relative, were to fight to the death with our relatives, how long would we be able to sit here? "

Yi Xuan's words were like a bolt of lightning in the dark night, illuminating the hearts of everyone present. Ci Xi was also stunned when he heard it, but he did not expect Yi Xuan to actually be able to say such a thing.

What exactly were the eight flags? To put it bluntly, they were simply a large family of relatives, who had come together to rule the Han people. If these Baji really started to risk their lives to kill their own people, that would only mean that the system of eight flags as one was about to be destroyed.

Ci Xi stopped crying, but Prince Kung started to persuade his again, "Stop messing around, us two brothers will take the lead, and after we negotiate, you will get the most rights, right? "There's still a long way to go in life, there's going to be a chance for you to show off your talents in the future …"

Just as Ci Xi's heart was shaken, suddenly, a gust of wind came from outside East Warm Pavilion, mixed with the palace maids screaming as they were whipped, and the sounds of the windows beating, it looked like the sky was changing.

"Old Buddha... Old Buddha! " Miserable cries came from outside the hall, and in a moment, a ball of flesh rolled in from outside. Everyone looked carefully and saw that it was Li Lianying.

"Old Buddha …" Li Lianying kneeled on the ground, holding a long silk silk belt in both hands. It was the kind of light and thin white silk that only carrier pigeons use.

"Wuwuwu …" Old Buddha, then Xiao Letian … That Xiao Letian is actually still alive! He led his troops and counterattacked the Tanggu, causing Maylor's army to instantly collapse. Even the Frenchmen whom Maylor hooked up with were defeated! " Li Lianying finished her sentence and knocked her head against the ground.

"AHH!" The three noblemen immediately jumped up, "What did you say?" Xiao Letian is still alive? "

This was really the worst news, Ci Xi dared to send his troops to attack Tanggu, and the biggest reason he was relying on was Xiao Letian's death. If not for the intelligence given to her by Hidden Fog Kid, Ci Xi would not have attacked Xiao Letian so early.

Thinking back to Xiao Letian's schemes against the imperial government, whether it was soft or hard, the imperial government had no countermeasures. The new army was strong enough to fight one against a hundred, and the earth-shattering banners and leaflets could spread all the scandal of the imperial court to the public.

The most terrifying thing was that Xiao Letian had a close relationship with the foreigners, and Manchu dynasty Ting's fear of the foreigners could not be described with words. late Qing's fear of the ocean had already become a terminal illness after the Second Opium War.

"Capture the Hidden Fog Kid back for me and bring that bitch back here … Calamity, the demon of this Calamity! " Ci Xi jumped up and started cursing loudly.

"Damn you Xiao Letian, why didn't the heavens send thunder to take you away!"

After all, the Prince Kung was born into a foreign trade, his understanding of Xiao Letian far surpassed the other higher ups in the Qing Dynasty. He slammed the table and said, "You can no longer hesitate, you must reach an agreement with Ci An before Xiao Letian takes action … A storm is coming, our Manchu must unite together! "

At this time, the Prince alcohol also became anxious. But Li Hongzhang's soldiers were already close to the Beijing, was he going to let him come here for nothing? Wasn't this a form of enmity? He is here with his head held high, he has severed the dreams of wealth in the Huai Army, how can we order him around in the future! "

The entire East Warm Pavilion was in chaos, the emotions of regret and self-blame filled the hearts of everyone. At that time, everyone was only thinking about the wealth within the Letian Firm, and they all forgot that the ones protecting the wealth was a group of lions and tigers.

"Where is the demon woman that brought disaster to this country? This Japanese woman can't be trusted, now she's throwing us all into a pit … The Han Manipulation would at least think that the prestige of the imperial government would not go down in the capital, but would Xiao Letian really consider our face? "

"If he makes such a ruckus and makes it so that even the merchants and the servants know about it, making it so that everyone on both sides of the country knows about it, what face would our imperial government have left? How can we care about such a huge empire! "

"Calamity! "That woman is a scourge …"

Just as Prince Kung was cursing angrily, An Dehai rushed in carrying another piece of silk. This domineering eunuch's face was now filled with tears. My two princes! This is bad, this morning, Xiao Letian's warship went along the ocean river straight to the TIANJIN Wei … This traitor has already fired his cannons and bombarded the walls of the TIANJIN Wei! "

"Wuwuwu …" The cannon on the east wall of the TIANJIN Wei has already blasted out a five feet long hole. The defending troops of the TIANJIN Wei have all escaped, they are all fleeing for their lives … "

"AHH!" "If the heavens are about to perish, then so am I …" Ci Xi screamed until his eyes turned black, and his entire body fell on the soft couch.
