At this time, Tan Sitong stood up directly and said angrily:
"I go!
There are also three battalions of General Liu in Tianjin, and Commander Zhao in Dagukou also wants to serve the country. The court will allocate another 100,000 taels of silver to me. No matter how arrogant the Japanese are, Tan Mou will be responsible for it!
"
Li Lianying was not a talented person, and according to unofficial records, she even had a stutter. When Tan Sitong, a stubborn scholar, talked to her about something, she was immediately speechless and speechless. After a long time, she screamed angrily:
"Silver, silver! The national situation is so difficult now. It is very difficult to provide for Lafayette and the emperor's daily expenses. Do you need any silver?
"
Who is Tan Sitong? He is so stubborn that even the King of Heaven refuses to recognize him. What's more, he now has strong support from Tsarist Russia and the Qiao family. He knows more information and can mobilize more resources than ever before.
Ten times? He immediately sneered:
"Yes, there is no money in the imperial court. If you talk badly, Eunuch Li, the people below will send you one hundred thousand taels of silver."
"The manor outside Changping is more than 20,000 acres! When the governor of Shuntian Mansion saw your godson, he had to kneel down ten feet in advance to greet him! The snuff bottle you bought last month was 370,000 yuan
Two, I changed hands and smashed it, saying it was bad luck."
Hearing what Tan Sitong said, Li Lianying's face suddenly turned pale, and she was furious in her heart that Tan Manzi really didn't understand the rules and actually exposed such an intimate matter directly on such an occasion. This is to fight me, Old Li, to the death.
?
At this time, according to normal official logic, Weng Tonghe had to come out and scold Tan Sitong for being "wild and rebellious". He was Tan Sitong's serious teacher, so it was only natural that he came out to make peace.
However, at this time, the imperial party also had a lot of opinions about Tan Sitong, and they were hoping that Lafayette would make some stupid moves and make the people resentful, and then the emperor could take the opportunity to force the palace to let the queen mother delegate her power. What the hell are you doing?
They keep saying it’s for the country, for brotherly loyalty, haha, the emperor has the power, and everyone has the money to make money. This country is the country. Your brothers in Japan will sacrifice now, and you will be generously rewarded in the future.
Wow, this stupid young man! He is really unreasonable!
Therefore, Weng Tonghe stopped arguing at this time and stood there watching his nose and his heart, directly playing the role of a puppet. At this time, he wanted to distance himself from this student, so how could he stand up?
No one came out to start a fight, and Li Lianying and Tan Sitong suffered a big loss when they quarreled.
Moreover, Tan Sitong had something interesting here. Every word he spoke could accurately hit the most panicked and private parts of Li Lianying. A few words he spat out immediately made Li Lianying pale and furious. The key is that she was still panicking in her heart.
.......
This guy was angrily scolding Tan Sitong for talking nonsense, but in his heart he was already kneeling down and wailing: Please stop talking!
Facing Tan Sitong's troubles, Cixi was trembling with anger. On the one hand, she felt that her prestige had declined. Even such a new minister was so outrageous. On the other hand, Li Lianying, a bastard, had done so much behind her back.
If you do something wrong, you can deal with it later and beat him.
"enough!
"Cixi suddenly slammed the chair, and a sharp voice sounded in the hall. "Do you still look like a courtier? Look what time it is now?"
The long tug-of-war before had completely worn away Cixi's patience. She looked at Qi Xiang above and said in a solemn tone:
"Your Majesty, if you want to continue fighting, that's fine, but if the Japanese disturb the tomb of our ancestors, then I will have no choice but to lead a few **** to go to the Ancestral Temple to offer sacrifices.
"
Qixiang is not Cixi's biological son, but he was brought into the palace from a young age. He usually does things with trepidation. He is a typical useless person who was "raised in the hands of women in the palace". In addition, he has a very bad personality.
cowardly.
How could such an emperor be responsible? His face turned pale immediately. He was just hoping to watch a good show, but unexpectedly the stick hit his head, and he immediately jumped down from the throne, quickly and easily.
He knelt on the ground and cried:
"Kiss daddy! Kiss daddy!
I was wrong, I immediately went to draw up a peace treaty, and everything was decided by my own father!"
(Note: The origin of the word "bi-dad" is the name Guangxu calls Cixi in the TV series "Towards a Republic". "Dad" in Manchu means mother. Historically, Guangxu was born to Cixi's sister, so he had to add the word "bi" in front of it.
There is no Guangxu in the world, but Qixiang should have experienced something similar to him, so he applied it.)
When Cixi turned her back, the emperor immediately knelt down. How could the rest of them stand? They all knelt down at the same time...
At this time, Tan Sitong looked at the emperor with an unbelievable look, then licked his lips a few times, and finally slowly knelt down. The only thing that could be described in his heart at this time was that there was nothing more sorrowful than death.
"The holy king I was trying to protect before was actually such a weakling?!
!
"
This thought has always been echoing in Tan Sitong's mind.
At this time, the old woman Cixi snorted coldly, turned her face away, and glanced at Li Lianying.
At this time, Li Lianying immediately went in, drew up a decree, handed it to Qi Xiang, and said in a sharp voice:
"Your Majesty, please use your treasure!"
Qi Xiang wiped the tears on his face, and was immediately shocked when he saw the decree, as if the thing in his hand was a coal of fire, and then said in a trembling voice:
"This this!
"
Weng Tonghe, who was standing next to him, didn't care about the disgrace in front of you. He came up to take a look and immediately said in shock and anger:
"Lafayette, this can't be done."
It turns out that this edict was written in a Qixiang tone. First of all, he said, "Looking around, all the little people around me are snakes and rats, corpses are eating nothing, and flies and dogs are sleeping around."
Then he said that he "didn't know people well, had little talent and virtue, controlled the war remotely, and repeatedly made small mistakes." Therefore, he issued a special edict to ask the Queen Mother to lower the curtain again to prepare for the war.
The people of the Imperial Party were naive and thought that Cixi would take the blame for asking for peace. Now it seems that they are extremely stupid! If this decree becomes popular in the world after Qi Xiang uses the seal, then it is obvious that Qi Xiang will take the blame.
.
Who are you talking about when you look around at the little gang, they are all snakes and rats? It’s the group led by Weng Tonghe who bit the fuck! The imperialists have to dig this shit bowl of Qiuhe into their own heads.
The following words made Qixiang shoulder all the responsibilities for the peace talks.
Seeing the old man's shock, Cixi glanced at Li Lianying with a straight face, and Li Lianying immediately screamed:
"Your Majesty, please use the treasure!"
Weng Tonghe couldn't care less at this time and said loudly:
"Your Majesty, you can't! With this seal, you will be forever doomed!"
Qi Xiang was about to muster the courage to resist, but when he raised his head, he saw Ci Xi's eyes that almost wanted to devour others.
His temperament was originally weak, but under the pressure of accumulating power, he knelt on the ground and trembled:
"Dad, son, son, son..."
But I couldn't say the next few words, and I was still crying.
The reason why Cixi had to clear the place and tell the neutrals to go away was because she anticipated the current situation and didn't want her bullying of the emperor to fall in the eyes of those people.
At this time, Tan Sitong also rushed forward. At first glance, he was really furious and roared loudly:
"Li Lianying, you, a traitorous party who has brought disaster to the country, are really talking nonsense. We, waiting beside the Holy King, worked hard and worked hard to kill more than 10,000 Japanese in Nagasaki and captured three enemy ships, and we didn't even cost the court a penny. How can we?" They are nothing but corpses, and they are just like dogs and cats!"
"On the other hand, relying on your favor in the palace, you have accumulated nearly ten million in bribes and bribes over the years. As long as you have not given bribes to you, everyone has been reprimanded and humiliated by you. You are such a traitor to the country. Let me tell you, Shi The pen is like iron, you Li family will be reviled by millions of people!
"
Youdao means that one thing will bring down another. Tan Sitong criticized him so righteously, but Tan Sitong himself was upright and had no black spots. Li Lianying was really frightened, angry and panicked, and almost knelt down in front of Tan Sitong. Please stop talking... Then he argued in a panic:
"Tan Sitong, don't talk nonsense! What a million taels... I, Old Li, have always been fair and honest, and have a clean mind..."
At this point, Li Lianying herself probably felt that it was a little inappropriate. The adjective "Liangxiu Qingfeng" was used on her, which was obviously inconsistent!
Tan Sitong sneered, pointed at Li Lianying and shouted angrily:
"I have heard rumors a long time ago that your Eunuch Li always carries a hundred thousand taels of silver notes on him. I will make a bet with you today! If you don't have a hundred thousand taels on you, Tan will lose this head to You, if you have any, kneel down and apologize to the emperor immediately! Do you dare to bet with me?"
This information was revealed to Tan Sitong by someone from the Qiao family. It turned out that Li Lianying was very cautious, otherwise she would not have been favored by Cixi for fifty-three years!
This guy has witnessed the ups and downs of countless officials and eunuchs, so he really always carries a few large banknotes on his body. These things are just prepared to save his life or run away at critical moments if he suddenly falls out of favor.
Its use is like the gold chain or Rolex worn by Hong Kong gangsters around 2000. In case of emergencies, they can exchange it for cash and run away.
Tan Sitong, a scholar from Hunan, became violent and aggressively bet his life with Li Lianying. Li Lianying felt that her back was soaked with cold sweat, so how could she dare to let go?
So he could only blush and argue, saying things like "defaming someone's innocence out of thin air", "nonsense", "spewing blood", etc., which made the air in the hall faintly reveal a trace of exasperated happiness.
Seeing that her great plan was about to be disrupted by Tan Sitong, Cixi suddenly slapped the table beside her, and the tea bowl next to her clinked to the ground, and she shouted in a sharp voice:
"In front of Lord Xiao, you threaten the eunuchs! Tan Sitong, have all your sages' books been read into the dog's belly? The crime of disrespect will lead to the confiscation of your family and the extermination of your clan!"
Before Tan Sitong entered the palace this time, he felt that he was ashamed of Fang Lin Yan, Wang Wu and others. They had long ignored life and death. He was a person who was truly not afraid of death. Hearing this, he stood up and said:
"Although students have little knowledge, they are familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics. They have read a few history books, but they know that they can use the queen mother's body to force all the emperors who came to power to kneel down and apologize, and shed tears in fear. This is the same throughout the ages.
It’s just Lu Pheasant (Liu Bang’s wife), Empress Wu, Cao Cao and a few others.”
"Since ancient times, no one has died, and his loyal heart will be remembered in history! It is not difficult for the queen mother to kill me. In the future, I, Tan, will have a mark in the history books, but you abuse the emperor and indulge the eunuch, but you can't stop the public from talking about state affairs!
The Queen Mother has turned the situation into a complete mess, and the situation is so chaotic that it even looks like the country will be subjugated!"
"Queen Mother, do you think you are Empress Wen of Xiaozhuang? What a joke. This country has been ruined like this. In the future, under Jiuquan, I wonder how the Queen Mother will meet Emperor Wen Zongxian and face the ancestors of the Qing Dynasty!
"
As soon as Tan Sitong said these tough words, the ministers and others next to him were really impressed: This guy is really not afraid of death, he really dares to say it!
Qi Xiang has suffered a lot in his life. To outsiders, he seems to be a great emperor of the Qing Dynasty, but what about it? He was humiliated in the palace, and even his beloved concubine was dragged away and thrown into a well.
That resentment, of course, has always been simmering.
At this time, Tan Sitong stood in front of him and yelled at Cixi, which really hit Qi Xiang's G-spot and spoke what was in his heart.
The expression on Qixiang's face was of course extremely cheerful, and he had never felt that happy and joyful feeling in his heart!
Cixi was so angry that she was trembling all over, but she also had a faint fear in her heart. After the Qing Dynasty was done like this by her, didn't she have any doubts in her heart?
In history, before Cixi died, she trembled and shed tears, and the two last words she left behind were:
From then on, women were not allowed to hear about state affairs. This was contrary to the family law of the dynasty. We must be especially careful and do not allow eunuchs to take over their power. What happened in the late Ming Dynasty can serve as a lesson for Yin.
This fully shows that she is actually very aware that she is messing up, and she is so panicked that she is afraid of facing her ancestors in the underworld without a word, so she wants to make amends before she dies...
But now faced with Tan Sitong's loud rebuke, Cixi became really angry and screamed:
"What has become of this country has nothing to do with you Han people. The dog slaves are about to turn the world upside down, right?!"
Then Cixi saw the expression on Qixiang's face behind Tan Sitong, and felt a chill in her heart. She immediately stood up and looked at Qixiang with a ferocious face:
"You are condoning all this, aren't you? Emperor, you have already prepared such chess pieces to force the palace today, right?!
"
Cixi was indeed one of the most powerful in internal fighting. In history, she anticipated that her end was coming, so she poisoned Guangxu with a large amount of arsenic in advance. This was because she knew one thing very well. After her death,
, Guangxu is bound to have great power.
And Guangxu's hatred towards him was so deep that he would definitely launch a crazy revenge later on. Li Lianying and Cixi's people would all die in misery.
