A happy outcome, both parties got what they wanted.
Only Zhang Zhiwei found it strange, because this Renne was obviously negotiating terms with something that was not his.
These things can only be acquired after conquering this world. Doesn’t it mean that this guy is also playing the trick of a white wolf with empty gloves?
This doubt was relieved after he thought about it for a while.
It does seem that you are empty-handed, but there is a huge premise.
That is to be able to summon an army from another time and space with the qualifications. If you are not qualified, it will be difficult to say anything.
This qualification is the difference between life and death. Because Renn has such an opportunity, he has the qualification to be a white wolf.
······
In the Forbidden City.
"Lafayette, it's time to eat!"
The head eunuch cautiously came to the side of the most distinguished woman in Daqing, fearing that his voice would make this woman uncomfortable.
In the past few days, several of Lafayette's confidant eunuchs had died in her own hands.
Everything is caused by the rebels outside, and so are the rebels. How wonderful this Daqing is, the peaceful and prosperous age.
Isn't it just a matter of shaving your head, kneeling down and kowtow a few times to become a slave?
It's amazing that you were beaten and scolded by the bannermen for selling your children and daughters during the famine years. Isn't that how that dynasty came to be?
Why are we rebelling with these slogans for the poor? It makes Lafayette even unable to eat.
"Eat, eat, eat, just know how to eat. Get out of the way for the Ai family and tell the Ministry of War that tomorrow I will see the suppression of the rebels. Let the old man from the Zeng family come to see the Ai family! The Ai family is really angry!"
"Hey, Lafayette, please be gentle. It doesn't matter if you break my slave. If it hurts your hand, I will be blamed even if you die. I will tell someone to call Mr. Zeng. Please be patient."
Calm down, calm down!"
After he slapped the old eunuch to the ground, he still had to tell others to do things, but the old eunuch still had to serve him with fear.
Of course, lying on the ground must have been an act, but after seeing his performance, Lafayette's anger really disappeared a lot.
Especially when I saw Li Lianying lying on the ground like a turtle, I couldn't help but laugh.
Li Lianying raised her head and looked at Lafayette quietly. When she saw him covering her mouth and snickering, she felt relieved.
It seems that there is no need to die.
Seeing that Li Lianying breathed a sigh of relief, Lafayette also lost his anger and became a little hungry, so he said: "Okay, let's pass on the food."
"Okay, let's pass on the meal..."
After serving Lafayette to eat, Li Lianying saw Lafayette frowning again. She rolled her eyes and said, "Lafayette, is this meal to your liking?"
Li Lianying's topic didn't arouse much interest in her, but she still said: "Well, it's not bad.
But there is a new person in the imperial dining room? We need to find out.
The recent chaos has made the Ai family feel a headache, and the emperor must be especially careful.
There are rebels and reformers out there, and I think there are probably those people out there who are bewitching the emperor!"
As the most noble woman in the empire, she felt that she was too worried. Not only did she have to think about how to prevent those Han people from getting ahead every day, she also thought about how to deal with the old and the young.
Each of them wanted to oust himself from power, but they didn't know that without her to control him, the emperor would have been won over by the Han people and scholars.
Now that there are internal and external troubles, she may need some external help. However, she has not yet thought about what to do if something happens.
"Your Majesty Zengkuo pays homage to the Queen Mother!"
An old man came to see Cixi outside her palace. Cixi, who was still thinking before, retracted her thoughts and said: "Get up, come in, I have something to do with the Ai family."
Zeng Kuofan entered the palace, lowered his head and lowered his hands, quietly waiting for Cixi's admonishment.
Looking at his performance, Cixi nodded with satisfaction. Not every capable person was liked by her.
She doesn't like stupid people, but she also doesn't like smart people who are arrogant because of their ability, and Zeng Kuofan happens to be not this type.
"Do you know about the rebels and reformers who have been causing a lot of trouble in Guangdong and Guangxi recently?"
"My lord, I have heard a little bit about it."
"Tell me, who are they?"
"Well, according to the information Wei Chen received, the rebels are divided into three groups.
Among them is the Tiandihui, a close confidant that has existed since the founding of Daqing.
Although they are barely surviving under the control of Lord Nanxi, they still have a lot of power hidden among the people.
There are also two branches and one branch belongs to the evil cult White Lotus.
These cults have many followers among the people and are in collusion with officials, so they are difficult to deal with.
The last one is the remnant of the Taiping Kingdom.
I don't know why these three groups were gathered together by a chef named Ren.
Claiming to have received the decree from the gods to overthrow our Daqing, they gathered a crowd to rebel.
Guangzhou Admiral Nalan Yuanshu underestimated the enemy and was captured by thieves. Now the thieves have occupied Guangzhou.
They used this as a base to gather a crowd to rebel, and that’s probably what happened.”
Zeng Kuofan answered cautiously, it was about the rebels and he couldn't be careless. Who knows if he accidentally said something wrong, it would be terrible if he became a group of rebels.
"Don't be so careful. The Ai family knows your abilities. Now the Ai family is telling you to lead the army. Kill these people. Are you willing?"
As soon as Cixi finished speaking, she saw old man Zeng kneeling on the ground and saying, "I will definitely live up to the Queen Mother's expectations."
Old man Zeng knew very well that it would not work if he did not agree, it would not work if he was not active, and it would not work if he could not win. The key is that he must be loyal.
"Okay, the Ai family will give you a decree later, making you the marshal of the world's troops and horses, and taking charge of all settlement matters."
Old man Zeng walked away lightly. He thought that the matter of rebelling against the bandits was easy. The people on the other side were just an army composed of ordinary people.
As long as you lead an army to suppress the situation and give some favors to the people inside, people inside will naturally turn to you.
When the time came, Liying and Waihe's army entered the city and directly killed the leader of the rebel army.
Send all the rebels to hard labor and imprison all the wealthy households in the city, asking them to pay atonement.
When the time comes, you will have the credit, you will have the money, and you will get a good deal, so why not do it?
After Old Man Zeng left, Cixi still felt that it was not very reliable. Before, Old Man Zeng was talking about things in Guangzhou, but the reformers around the emperor also needed to be dealt with.
"Andhei, go and find someone to kill everyone around the emperor."
An eunuch came out of the darkness, bowed respectfully, and then quietly withdrew as if he had never appeared.
Everyone thinks that Cixi favored Li Lianying, but they don't know that although Ande Hai disappeared, he definitely did not lose his favor.
On the contrary, he was the person Cixi trusted the most, and his disappearance was related to a strange news.
"Lafayette, do you remember what I said about the chef? The young master Liu Angxing and Na Lan Feihong have been waiting outside the palace for a long time."
Li Lianying came over with a smile on her face and said that Cixi had been quite happy with her meal before, so Li Lianying took it upon herself to find the person.
"If you're interested, call the people in now that you're here. The Ai family happens to have something they want to ask."
When I heard the names of Xiao Dangjia and Lan Feihong, I immediately thought of the protection named Ren En that Old Man Zeng had mentioned before. He was also a chef.
Think about the world's best chef competition that I organized. Wasn't there a chef named Renn nicknamed Seven Star Knife?
And according to her understanding, the young boss Liu Angxing studied in the same restaurant as Ren En. It would be crazy if they didn't know each other.
The young master and A Fei entered the main hall and felt that the main hall was particularly gloomy, and Cixi sitting on the throne also looked particularly scary.
"You two are Xiao Dangjia and A Fei. I heard that you are the popular contestants in this competition, and you have both successfully been promoted to become special chefs. First of all, congratulations to you."
"Thank you, Queen Mother, for the compliment!"
"Your Majesty is so grateful."
"Be brave, the Queen Mother is talking to you, and she still doesn't kneel down to thank you!"
Xiao Lizi came out to make his presence felt, but this sound frightened the two of them so much that they immediately knelt down.
This government official raided homes and beheaded people at every turn, which was quite awe-inspiring, let alone the Empress Dowager Cixi. I heard that even the emperor was controlled by her.
"That's enough, Little Plum, please go out, I have something to say to them alone!"
The Queen Mother's sudden words made Xiao Lizi a little surprised, and then he felt aggrieved, because the Queen Mother had never avoided him before.
However, he also knew that disobedience at this time was unacceptable, so he chose to walk away respectfully and closed the door.
The heavy door made a tooth-piercing friction and finally closed with a bang. The sound of the closing made the bodies of the two people kneeling on the ground shake.
"Are you afraid of me?"
The woman sitting on the dragon throne spoke. Although she was very old, she still had the power she deserved.
Whether Wu Zai is the boss or a Fei, they are just chefs.
Perhaps in the eyes of ordinary people, they are special chefs with superb cooking skills and deserve respect.
But in the eyes of officials, the so-called chefs are just servants who serve them.
What's more, facing her, the most powerful old woman in the world.
"The common people don't dare!" X2
The two said at the same time, but Cixi said indifferently: "It's okay to be afraid. You should be afraid. If the Ai family asks, then just say whatever you want. If you dare to deceive the Ai family, the Ai family will make your heads fall to the ground.
Even killing the nine tribes, do you understand?"
"Yes, I understand!" X2
The voices of the two people were already trembling a little. After all, this was not only their own lives, but also those of their relatives and friends.
"There is a man named Ren in Guangzhou who rebelled. Do you know? Do you know him?"
a bolt from the blue!
For the two of them, this news was a real bolt from the blue. Who would have thought that Renne could actually rebel?
You must know that the Ren they met before was a man who even killed cows and put a rebirth charm on them. Rebellion? This is too big a deal.
