As soon as Cixi's words fell, there was a cry and mourning in the court, and she looked like her father and mother had died."
I can't talk about it, Queen Mother, minister, Zhang Zhidong, I have something to say."
Suddenly, a middle-spirited dissuasion resounded throughout the court and the opposition, and the eyes of all the ministers converged on a small corner of the court."
Oh, what does Zhang Tanhua have to say" Cixi raised her eyebrows and looked at Zhang Zhidong with some curiosity.It turned out that Zhang Zhidong had just won the middle tanhua, and Qi Junzao recommended him several times in front of Cixi, saying that he was a mainstay talent and could be of great use.Cixi still has a little impression of Zhang Zhidong, and Zhang Zhidong's current position as an editor of the Hanlin Academy was arranged by Cixi."
Queen Mother, when Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang occupied Jiangnan, the Great Yuan Dynasty also sent envoys to cooperate, but what was the result, Zhu Yuanzhang still returned to the division and crossed the river.What's more, Jiangnan is the place where the imperial court pays taxes, and if it is given to thieves, the imperial court will inevitably fall into a situation where there is no money to use in less than a year.We only have one battle with Qiao Zhiqing, and there is no other way. ”Zhang Zhidong knelt on the ground and cried bitterly about the pros and cons, his face full of loyalty and courage."
The palace you said also understands, since you are going to fight, dare to ask Zhang Tanhua, where do the soldiers come from and where do the salaries come from" Cixi raised her eyebrows and stared at Zhang Zhidong, her face full of anticipation."
Queen Mother, in the rebellion of the flood thieves back then, the imperial court was also exhausted, but Zeng Dashuai could turn the tide and finally exterminate the flood thieves" "Presumptuous, don't mention the Zeng family thief to the palace again, otherwise, be careful of your head" Before Zhang Zhidong finished speaking, Cixi hissed and scolded."
The queen mother is tolerant, and the minister will finish even if he risks death."
Zhang Zhidong was not afraid, and faced Cixi with his chest straight.All the ministers in the court secretly pinched a cold sweat for Zhang Zhidong, and the good relationship had already turned their heads and constantly winked at Zhang Zhidong.Cixi looked at the handsome face and was slightly stunned, then took a long breath and spit out, "Then let's talk about it, if you don't say one, two, three, immediately pull out the noon gate and behead the public." ”"Empress Dowager Xie," Zhang Zhidong knelt down with excitement on his face, raised his waist and continued to play, "In fact, the situation in Jiangnan is not as bad as the Queen Mother imagined, the key is only one move, as long as this move is right, then the overall situation can be mobilized." ”"Which chess?"
Cixi asked curiously."
As far as Weichen knows, in the provinces south of the Yangtze River, Jiangxi Governor Liu Kun has more than 20,000 elite soldiers in one hand, Fujian Governor Zuo Zongtang also has more than 30,000 Zhejiang troops, and Guangdong Governor Guo Songtao also has more than 50,000 Guangdong troops.There is also Luo Bingzhang, the governor of Sichuan, who has more than 200,000 soldiers and horses.These people have more or less great ties with the Hunan army, and it is only because they are afraid of the crimes of the imperial court that they do not dare to use troops and horses, and they are in a wait-and-see state.If the imperial court pardoned Zeng Guofan's sins and reappeased the Han people, then half of the south of the Yangtze River would definitely be preserved. ”Zhang Zhidong spared a lot of circles, and finally said his thoughts.The ministers in the court glanced at each other, and even Prince Gong couldn't help but be moved."
You mean that it is justified for the palace to admit that Zeng Guofan is a rebellion" Cixi clenched her fists with a cold face, if she pardoned Zeng Guofan, she would slap herself in the face."
Queen Mother, Zeng Dashuai didn't have the heart to rebel from beginning to end, he was just framed by Qiao Zhiqing's conspiracy.According to Weichen's investigation, it was Qiao Zhiqing's personal army that robbed Zeng Guoquan in the capital that day.Qiao Zhiqing just wanted to separate the imperial court and the Hunan army, and make a profit from the fishermen on the side.The Queen Mother must not fall for Qiao Zhiqing's treacherous tricks again, appease the Han people's regimental training ministers as soon as possible, and pacify the disaster in the south of the Yangtze River. ”Zhang Zhidong actually didn't have any real evidence, just guessing, but at this time, he could only find one reason, put all the charges on Qiao Zhiqing, and give Cixi a step down."
The queen mother, the slave can also prove that it was indeed Qiao Zhiqing's personal soldiers who robbed Zeng Guoquan, and it has nothing to do with the marshal of Zeng Guofan."
Prince Gong also risked his life at this time, and added a sentence with high cheers.Cixi's heart continued to calculate the benefits and losses, and after discussing with Ci'an behind the curtain, she finally raised her head with a stern expression and said, "This palace can not care about the ministers involved with Zeng Guofan, but for the majesty of the imperial court, Zeng Guofan's crime is unforgivable."
At the beginning, he led a large army to the west to conquer Hubei, and wiped out more than 50,000 troops of the official document at once, and this alone is a heinous crime.If the palace pardoned Zeng Guofan, where would the majesty of the imperial court be placed" When Zeng Guofan first raised righteousness, he drenched the dogs of the empress dowager of the two palaces with blood, as if all the predicaments of the imperial court today were caused by the empress dowager of the two palaces to listen to the government, so Cixi had all kinds of compromises, and it was impossible to swallow this sulk."
Queen Mother" Zhang Zhidong wanted to persuade again, but after listening to Cixi's tone, he temporarily endured it."
Zhang Tanhua, you don't need to persuade anymore, the palace will issue an order to promote Zuo Zongtang, the governor of Fujian, Liu Kunyi, the governor of Jiangxi, and Guo Songtao, the governor of Guangdong, to the post of governor, so that they should also understand the tolerance and generosity of the imperial court.For the rehabilitation of Zeng Guofan, you must not mention it again, otherwise you will also be punished as a thief. ”Cixi snorted and made her own conditions."
The Queen Mother is wise."
Zhang Zhidong pondered and bowed.All the ministers also chanted and bowed."
Alright, that's all for today, you all go down and prepare.In addition, Zhang Zhidong's advice was meritorious, and he was specially given Zhang Zhidong to walk in the military aircraft department to assist Prince Gong in formulating a strategy against the enemy. ”Cixi was a little tired and ordered the ministers, stood up and led the little emperor to retreat with Ci'an."
Retreat."
The eunuchs in the palace shouted sharply, and all the ministers stood up and withdrew from the hall with their own thoughts."
Congratulations to Lord Zhang" "Congratulations to Lord Zhang for his ascension" "When the ministers retreated from the court, they all bowed with Zhang Zhidong, with different expressions, and some ministers had a sour taste in their words.In fact, everyone can see the situation clearly at this time, but no one dares to seem to admonish.I didn't expect Zhang Zhidong to mention it, and the Queen Mother didn't get angry, which really made people jealous and regretful.As soon as the decree of the imperial court of the Nanjing Presidential Palace was issued, Qiao Zhiqing got the news.I looked up and down with a map in my study, and I couldn't help but chuckle."
Brother Qiao, what are you smirking at Yan Yuting After she became pregnant, her temperament became more and more calm.Now I have such a big belly, and I can't even walk now."
This Zhang Zhidong is still a little knowledgeable, and the imperial court is not all raising rice buckets."
Qiao Zhiqing chuckled and praised Zhang Zhidong, but he didn't care about the people who were awarded by the imperial court."
Actually, I think Cixi is full of vision, knowing that there is no one in the world who is your opponent, and I am anxious to fight with you.Zhang Zhidong's move was just to delay time, and it didn't play much role in the battle situation. ”Yan Yuting didn't pay attention to Zhang Zhidong, but she had a feeling of sympathy for Cixi."
Cixi is not as simple as you think, she must be waiting for something to rely on, trying to delay time."
Qiao Zhiqing calmly analyzed, and a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind."
Why rely on Cixi to bring in soldiers from the sky," Yan Yuting teased with her mouth covered."
Maybe you forgot that we have offended all the foreigners in Shanghai.If these foreign devils come over in half a year, then our situation will be delicate. ”Qiao Zhiqing stared at Shanghai on Map Mountain and pondered for a long time, pondering the intentions of the imperial court.Britain, France, and the United States all have consulates in Beijing, and the Prime Minister's Yamen, which Prince Gong has organized, is specially used to deal with foreigners.Cixi will naturally not forget this, and will definitely find a way to seek help from foreigners."
What you said is very likely, we must pacify Jiangnan within half a year, so that even if the foreigners come to the nest, they are not our opponents."
Yan Yuting nodded thoughtfully, and analyzed the Tao with her head in her head."
You girl, I really wronged you when I didn't let you be the prime minister in the first place."
Qiao Zhiqing smiled approvingly and praised Yan Yuting."
Forget it, I'd better be my president's wife with peace of mind.In the future, my work will be handed over to Wei Ziyou, you can find her if you have something, I will move to my sister's yard to raise the baby with peace of mind. ”Yan Yuting smiled indifferently, what she cares about most at the moment is the child in her belly, and she doesn't care about everything else."
Okay, leave the matter here to Wei Ziyou, you can add another daughter to my Qiao family in the future."
Qiao Zhiqing smiled and nodded in agreement."
You're so beautiful, I'll give you a son."
Yan Yuting pouted and stuck out her tongue, and went out with a smile as she spoke.After Qiao Zhiqing saw her off, he stretched out his hand and moved his bones.After sitting down on the couch, lean on the armrest and take a nap."
Brother Qiao, are you free now" As soon as Qiao Zhiqing closed his eyes, a sweet voice came from outside the door."
Come in, I'm fine."
Qiao Zhiqing stretched out his arm lazily and commanded outside the door.The door opened, and a girl in a plain skirt stepped into the door.Facing Qiao Zhiqing, he put his hands on his waist and shook sweetly."
Shanxing, why did you come to Nanjing, is the school holiday" Qiao Zhiqing stood up in surprise for a while, the young woman was his Japanese sister, Qiao Shanxing."

No, I took my own leave.Brother Qiao, Qingshengjun has news from Japan, he and his brother will make a special trip to China to visit you in the near future, and they will take me back to get married when the time comes. ”Qiao Shanxing hung her head shyly and sat down on the couch carefully."
That's great, I thought that Tokugawa Keisheng stinky boy forgot about you, do you mean Tokugawa Keiki is also coming to China" Qiao Zhiqing smiled and asked curiously."
Yes, what Keisa-kun meant in his letter seems to be that the shogunate has encountered some major crisis, and Tokugawa Yoshiki will come to China to see if he can ask for some help."
Qiao Shanxing replied honestly, with a worried face."
I see, I see."
Qiao Zhiqing's mind spun rapidly, gathering all the clues related to Japan that had happened recently.When Chen Bingwen attacked Shanghai a few days ago, the French and American armies and navies all withdrew to Japan.Now that everyone in Japan is clamoring to change the law and try to become stronger, these foreign devils are probably related to the Shogunate faction, and the shogunate is so nervous to seek foreign aid
