As Yang Xingguo initially inferred, since the Eight-Nation Alliance entered the capital, Cixi was suppressed by foreigners.

As the leader of a country, it would be impossible for Cixi to not hold her anger in her heart.

As a confidant of Empress Dowager Cixi, Wang Wenshao knew very well that Cixi had suffered from her resentment and helplessness in the past two years.

Now, after finally meeting a good opportunity to vent his grievances, Cixi must be happy.

Therefore, when Wang Wenshao heard that Cixi was going to reward a former bandit with great reverence.

However, no matter how understanding is, Wang Wenshao refused to say very decisively about Cixi's heavy reward...

"The Queen Mother thought twice..."

"The court can recruit Yang Xingguo and let Yang Xingguo be used by the court... However, the court must not reward him heavily, and even give him real power..."

Cixi frowned and asked in confusion: "My dear, why is this!"

"Yang Xingguo killed so many old men. Although he was a bandit at that time, he was a member of my Qing Dynasty. It can be said that he gave the Ai family a sigh of anger and promoted our country's power. For such a warrior, if the Ai family does not reward you, what do you think of the Ai family..."

Of course, Wang Wenshao didn't look back and watched Cixi offend the Russians because of her momentary happiness.

After only a brief contemplation, Wang Wenshao spoke and analyzed: "The Empress Dowager is happy and angry, the old minister has no such intention..."

"Yang Xingguo's identity is a bandit, so the Russians cannot vent their anger against Yang Xingguo on the court. After all, it was the Russians who did not allow the court to station troops in Liaodong, which led to a large number of bandits in Liaodong..."

"If the Russians really want to find a partner to vent, they can only find Yang Xingguo and themselves..."

"But once the court rewards Yang Xingguo heavily and grants Yang Xingguo an official position, the situation will be different..."

"The Russians who have no place to vent their anger will directly think that what Yang Xingguo did in Liaodong was arranged by the court. At that time, the Russians will put all the blame on the court..."

At this time, Cixi finally calmed down from her excitement.

After some thought, I have to admit that what Wang Wenshao said is true.

However, Cixi still missed Yang Xingguo, who made her happy at critical moments.

At this time, Wang Wenshao suddenly spoke and reminded: "Empress Dowager, Old Chen thought that the suggestions put forward by Anshan County Magistrate Liang Cheng in the secret letter were very good..."

"Although the reward for Yang Xingguo was a little lighter, this idea was the most beneficial to the court. More importantly, this idea was also very beneficial to you, the Queen Mother..."

"The court can all Yang Xingguo do what Yang Xingguo did in Liaodong. Yang Xingguo's own actions were Yang Xingguo's own actions and had nothing to do with the court..."

"Because, the military training was not organized in the Qing Dynasty, and it was completely spontaneously used by the villagers to protect the country and protect the people. The court did not control him at all. In this way, it was reasonable and the Russians could not vent their anger on the court."

"And the Russians cannot start a war against the court because of this incident... because there are more than one Russian powers. Other powers will not watch the Russians dominate the Qing Dynasty."

"Of course, if the Russians still want to let the court take action, then the court will do the right way to send heavy troops to Liaodong to suppress bandits... The old minister affirmed that once the court's suggestion was put forward, the Russians would be left alone..."

Cixi nodded in recognition of this statement, and then continued to ask...

"You are my dear, you have not said that such rewards will benefit the court and Ai family..."

Wang Wenshao did not dare to neglect and continued: "For the court, this kind of reward can tell the people of the world that the court does not ignore the outside world. As long as the court has the opportunity and strength, it will intervene in Liaodong."

"Appointing a delegation training envoy in Liaodong and forming a delegation training to protect the country and safeguard the people is the first step for the court to intervene in Liaodong..."

"Secondly, Queen Mother, you can directly seal the main war faction in the court through this move, leaving them speechless... thus further strengthening the Queen Mother's prestige and reputation in the court..."

For an old man, he values ​​reputation far more than power.

So, as soon as Wang Wenshao said the last two benefits, a hint of excitement suddenly appeared on Cixi's old face. Her eyes also shot out two rays of light.

There is no doubt that at this moment, Cixi was not only moved by Wang Wenshao, but also moved...

After carefully thinking about Wang Wenshao's analysis, Cixi decided to speak decisively: "Just do it as your dear said... When the memorial from General Fengtian's Mansion arrives, you will start to handle it..."

"In addition, Liang Cheng, the county magistrate of Anshan County, is very smart. The Ai family likes it very much... My dear, what rank is this Liang Cheng? The Ai family wants to raise him a higher rank. As for the official title, he will continue to serve as the magistrate of Anshan County. After all, he already has experience in dealing with the relationship between Russia and the Qing Dynasty..."

"The old minister gave thanks to Empress Dowager Liang Cheng for his kindness... The old minister believes that after receiving your grace from Empress Dowager, Liang Cheng will definitely be heartbroken and repay the Queen Mother's reward and love..."

Maybe I heard too many compliments. After Wang Wenshao finished speaking, the expression on Cixi's face did not change at all.

Because, at this moment, Cixi once again thought of Yang Xingguo, who made her very happy.

When falling in love with these ministers who are good at complimenting, Cixi obviously admires Yang Xingguo, a real warrior who dares to act and takes responsibility.

Just when Wang Wenshao looked at Cixi who was silent, he looked embarrassed and wanted to take this opportunity to leave.

Cixi suddenly spoke, "My dear, the imperial court's reward for Yang Xingguo is still too low..."

"The benefits of eliminating thousands of Russians will bring to the court and the Ai family far exceed the rewards the court has given him... In this way, if Liang Cheng transfers Yang Xingguo to the Ai family, if Yang Xingguo can kill another thousand Russians in Liaodong, the Ai family will definitely reward him heavily... At that time, the position of a patrol battalion will definitely be his..."

From the bottom of his heart, Cixi was very dissatisfied and jealous of Yang Xingguo.

In Wang Wenshao's opinion, bandits like Yang Xingguo who can only kill will never have a good future. Moreover, he is still killing the Russians, which is absolutely unacceptable to Wang Wenshao, who advocates compromise with the outside world.

However, in order not to disturb Cixi's good mood, Wang Wenshao did not object.

In Wang Wenshao's opinion, even if Cixi gave Yang Xingguo a guarantee, Yang Xingguo would not be able to do it. Because Yang Xingguo had no chance of survival from the revenge of the Russians.

As a great power, if it was so easy to mess with, the court would not have lost again and again in front of them...

Of course, for important officials like Wang Wenshao, this dissatisfaction and disacceptance are just thinking about it. As soon as he left the back garden of the palace, Wang Wenshao's face was covered with a smile.

Because, in the previous recitation, I also got what I wanted.
