After Cixi went down to the court, she took the little emperor to have breakfast in the East Warm Pavilion before returning to Yanxi Hall.Qiao Zhiqing waited with Lin Meizhu at the door of the room for a long time before he heard a sharp shout from a eunuch outside the courtyard, "The Queen Mother has arrived." ”The maids and eunuchs in the courtyard suddenly knelt on the ground, and Qiao Zhiqing also knelt down with a reluctant face, and took Cixi into the house under the service of a large group of maids, before shouting to everyone, "Get up, Master Qiao will talk in the mourning house." ”"Yes," the maids and eunuchs replied in a low voice, and then they got up and went their separate ways.After Qiao Zhiqing bowed up, he followed Cixi and carefully entered the lobby.The hall is paved with a red and yellow carpet, and in the middle is a mahogany phoenix chair, and on the side is a couch with a small table stacked on the couch, on which hot tea is sobbed.After Qiao Zhiqing entered the house, Cixi ordered the people around her to come out of the house, and after the door was closed, she greeted Qiao Zhiqing, who was stunned in the hall, and asked him to sit down on the side of the couch."
King Zhennan, the mourning family always thought that you were a big old man, but I didn't expect you to be so handsome and young, which really surprised the mourning family."
Cixi squinted and smiled wantonly at Qiao Zhiqing, not at all with the sense of majesty when she was in the court, but with a hint of the fiery of a little widow."
Queen Mother, you are even more beautiful and amazing than the minister imagined, and the minister is also very surprised."
Qiao Zhiqing chuckled, proudly raised his angular chin, looked Cixi up and down, and spit out lightly.What he said was not a lie, Cixi was still a young woman at this time, and with her usual perverted maintenance, her skin was as delicate as a girl of ten.Even if the towering chest was wrapped in a wide phoenix robe, it was very full and round, trembling up and down with her smile and smile."
It turns out that King Zhennan's mouth is so well-behaved."
Cixi obviously didn't expect Qiao Zhiqing to be so bold, where would anyone dare to speak so frivolously, but this was said in Cixi's heart, and no one has complimented her beauty so bluntly for a long time, no matter how high and powerful the women are, they always put beauty first.When Qiao Zhiqing said this, Cixi was not angry but happy, and laughed "giggle" along her red lips."
The Queen Mother, the minister still has something unclear, please show the Queen Mother."
Qiao Zhiqing chuckled, his face returned to calm, and he talked to Cixi about business."
Just tell me anything, it's rare for the mourning family to see you once, and you don't have to be too restrained."
Cixi looked at Qiao Zhiqing ambiguously, picked up the tea bowl on the small table and took a sip."
Queen Mother, the minister has made it very clear to the court in the recital, the first credit this time should be owned by the Ronglu General Army, the minister is only responsible for the response on the side, and has not contributed, why is he named the king of Zhennan today, the minister really deserves it."
Qiao Zhiqing modestly excused himself, wanting to see if Cixi could change his mind, he now felt like he was being put on the stove, with jealous eyes on all sides."
The king of Zhennan will not shirk anymore, if it weren't for you, this palace would not be willing to give you Han people a prince for nothing.King Zhennan, how do you say you should thank the mourning family" Cixi smiled charmingly, and stretched out her jade hand and slid it down on the back of Qiao Zhiqing's hand.That fiery look made Qiao Zhiqing look at it, and he couldn't help but shudder."
The queen mother can rest assured, the minister has always been loyal to you, everything is arranged by the queen mother, and the minister has nothing to say."
Qiao Zhiqing pretended to be a loyal minister, and what he said to Cixi with his fists made him feel disgusted.Cixi smiled even more brightly, her hands couldn't help but cover her stomach and take a deep breath, and after calming down, she suddenly straightened up dignifiedly, looked at Qiao Zhiqing and said, "Well, since the King of Zhennan is so loyal, then the palace does have something for you to deal with."
Now that the main force of the long-haired thieves in the south of the Yangtze River has been completely wiped out, the palace thinks that it is useless to keep the Hunan army now, so the next step for the imperial court is to start dismantling and reorganizing the Hunan army and bringing the local army into the jurisdiction of the imperial court.The person in charge of this disarmament is your old partner Rong Lu.You also know that the generals of the Hunan army have always been unruly and have a lot of whispers about the imperial court, and the palace is worried that the generals of the Hunan army will not be convinced.Therefore, you must continue to support Rong Lu in the future, and once there is a change, you don't need to ask the imperial court, you can send troops to suppress it yourself. ”"The queen mother can rest assured, the ministers will definitely do their best to protect the majesty of the court."
Qiao Zhiqing clenched his fists and took the order, and looked at Cixi differently in his heart.This woman really has a strong desire for power, and as soon as the grain is finished, she begins to prepare to unload the mill and kill the donkey."
Okay, I've told you everything I want to say, this capital is not peaceful, be careful when walking."
Cixi took a deep breath, pursed her red lips and winked at Qiao Zhiqing, with a lustful expression."
The minister will retire, and the queen mother will rest."
Qiao Zhiqing pondered the meaning of Cixi's words, didn't know what she was hinting at, got up and bowed to her, and then retreated carefully.At this time, it is the time when there are many people on the street, and the three sects and nine streams of the capital from all over the world are starting a busy day.After all, Beijing is the capital of a country, after hundreds of years of accumulation, this royal street outside the palace is not known to be many times more prosperous than the official road in Suzhou.People come and go, and the river is endless.Bustling, rubbing shoulders.After Qiao Zhiqing left the palace, he didn't see Dong Xingwu's carriage, and after waiting for a while, he didn't see him coming, so he didn't hurry back, but changed into civilian clothes and wandered around the street outside the palace alone.When passing by a small alley, suddenly there was a strange movement behind him, which startled Qiao Zhiqing, relying on the intuition of the special forces, he used a swimming dragon to swing his tail without looking back, and kicked out with a back kick.Sure enough, there was a muffled snort behind him, Qiao Zhiqing didn't say a word, and turned around with a swinging fist.This time he didn't take advantage, as soon as he swung his fist, he was caught by a strong arm, and a backhand twist locked Qiao Zhiqing's arm.Qiao Zhiqing found out that there were five or six strong men in ambush in this alley, and before Qiao Zhiqing could ask, he was hit with a stick in the back of his head, his eyes were black, and his body fell to the ground softly.Qiao Zhiqing didn't know how long he had been asleep, and then he woke up slowly, and when he opened his eyes, there was a black hole all around.After moving his body slightly, he found that his hands and feet were tightly tied.After sucking hard through his nose, he realized that he was in a sack."
Hey, is there anyone, you are so bold, even this king dares to hijack, aren't you afraid of exterminating the Nine Clans" Qiao Zhiqing hissed, and he didn't know where he was, except for his own breathing, there was no movement around him."
Is there anyone, I'm thirsty, bring some water in."
Qiao Zhiqing continued to shout, wanting to attract the attention of the kidnappers.He kept thinking in his mind about who was so bold that he dared to openly kidnap the prince of the imperial court, so he wanted to get a sentence out of the kidnapper's mouth.After a while, there was still no response around, but suddenly there was a sound of the door opening, and then a big hand took the tea bowl and stuffed it into the sack, and poured it into Qiao Zhiqi's mouth.Qiao Zhiqing didn't drink a few sips, but the water was spilled."
Who are you, what do you want to do when you arrest me" Qiao Zhiqing coughed a few times when he was stuck in the water, and hurriedly stopped.The man in front of him did not speak, and when he left, he heard the sound of the door closing.Qiao Zhiqing's brain was spinning fast, and after the sack was loosened just now, he sniffed around with his nose, and vaguely smelled a smell of rouge.When the kidnapper went out just now, there was no sound of violent footsteps, and there must have been a carpet on the ground.The tea bowl used by the kidnappers is very delicate, and the glaze of the bowl is very smooth, so it seems that this must be the boudoir of a large family."
Who the hell caught him, what do they want to do" Qiao Zhiqing muttered secretly in his heart, remembering what Rong Lu said when he went to court, he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, "It wasn't Rong Lu's kid who sent someone to do it, but what good is it for him to do this, he can't use such stupid means to deal with himself, then he will have Zeng Guofan left in the capital as an enemy, is it impossible for Zeng Guofan to instruct it, and Zeng Guofan doesn't need to use such indiscriminate means." ”Qiao Zhiqing tentatively moved his hands and feet while thinking about it, to see if he could break the rope away, but the result was very disappointing to himself.The techniques of this group of kidnappers are very clever, and the ropes tied are also dead knots, and Qiao Zhiqing has no room for activity at all.After there was no hope of escaping, Qiao Zhiqing simply closed his eyes and leaned against the wall behind him to close his eyes and recuperate, and after a while, he fell asleep again.I don't know how long this sleep lasted, but suddenly there was a sound of footsteps outside, and after a while, the door was opened again, and this time a lot of people came in."
Who are you and what are you going to do" Qiao Zhiqing suddenly struggled and yelled at the crowd.There was still no one to reply, but three or four people lifted Qiao Zhiqing's body and forcibly tied Qiao Zhiqing to the wooden bed.After Qiao Zhiqing lay down on the cotton mattress, he struggled vigorously, but his hands and feet were pressed by these people, and after a while, even his hands and feet were tied firmly.What surprised Qiao Zhiqing even more was that these people actually untied his Confucian robe and took off his dirty pants.Qiao Zhiqing suddenly felt a sense of humiliation and unease, and struggled violently, but to no avail, his hands and feet could not move at all."
Your sister, these brutes don't want to clean up Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu hasn't played with women yet.God, it's time for the hero to break in. ”Qiao Zhiqing's heart was entangled to the extreme for a while, he only hated himself for wandering around alone, if Dong Xingwu was by his side, then these people were not opponents at all.If you are really cleansed, how can you explain to the beauties of Suzhou when you go back?
Just when Qiao Zhiqing was thinking wildly, the strong men around him went out for a while, and after the door was closed, he only heard a footstep walking around the house, and sat down on the bed
