Before Cixi's arrival, civil and military officials were in two rows in the main hall and there was a lot of discussion.Rong Lu had just returned from Beijing, but he didn't expect to receive this big news before he had a full day of rest at home."
The emperor and the queen mother have arrived" With a sharp hiss of the eunuch, Cixi pulled her son and sat down on the dragon chair and phoenix chair one after another.All the courtiers bowed their heads and saluted with the sound of the little emperor, and then they all stood up.Although the Qing Dynasty became Manchukuo, the etiquette of the imperial court was still there, and everything was still in accordance with the past.Rong Lu repeated this complicated interest, and a disgust inexplicably arose in his heart.I don't know if I stayed in Beijing for a few days, and I was really infected by the new etiquette there.The most immediate feeling is that no one has to kneel.This is simply an incredible thing for Rong Lu."
I guess you all received the news, our 130,000 clansmen in Blackwater City were slaughtered by the Russians.What do you eat all day, do you have to wait until our Manchus are wiped out before you start cheering up" Without the surprise of the courtiers, Cixi came up and reprimanded.Although behind the white curtain, you can still see a pretty face that has been twisted together."
The Queen Mother is angry, please keep the phoenix body" The courtiers have now been scolded as cowhides, no matter how much you scold, they always respond with this sentence.Although everyone's face showed sincere fear, but their hearts were full of care."
Do you have nothing to say except this sentence, since the Russians can destroy Heishui City, then another day they will fight until this Lindu comes, if you still don't seek progress like this, our Manchus will be wiped out sooner or later" Cixi was speechless to these ministers, it was completely impossible to splash oil, and the dead pigs were not afraid of boiling water.She was angry and hateful in her heart, but she didn't know who to vent to for a while.Rong Lu had just returned from Beijing, and he had made a great contribution by asking for 300,000 foreign guns from Qiao Zhiqing.She was also embarrassed to find Rong Lu angry, but Rong Lu should indeed be responsible for military affairs.After the Manchu court occupied Vladivostok, it was renamed Linducheng, which means temporary capital.Cixi didn't want to stay in this ghost place for the rest of her life, she promised Qiao Zhiqing to go north, and she wanted to accumulate strength to restore the country.But looking at the situation now, let alone recovering the country, I don't even have the ability to protect myself, and I am about to be wiped out."
Queen Mother, the minions asked for the defense of Manchukuo to be in charge of the minions, and the blackwater city suffered a catastrophe this time, and it was also the minions who did not arrange the defense.The slave was punished by the Queen Mother, and there was no other thing to say" Rong Lu took the initiative to stand up and take on this responsibility at this time, and gave Cixi a step down.He knew that Cixi was taking care of his face, and he was embarrassed to scold it.Someone has to be held accountable for this, and this person has to be.The other courtiers also breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Rong Lu take the initiative to stand up.But fortunately, they didn't fall into the ground, they all knew that Rong Lu worked hard and was very valued by the Queen Mother.Even Rong Lu's political enemies, no one dared to touch this nail at this time.Prince Gong didn't say anything, he knew too much about the relationship between Cixi and Ronglu.Although he has always wanted to get involved in military power, it is not yet time to fight for power.After all, the pressure of the outside world, only internal unity can protect the whole family.This awareness of the overall situation, Prince Gong is still very clear.Sure enough, Cixi didn't really want to punish Rong Lu, but let out a long sullen breath and said calmly, "The Lord Protector went to Beijing this time and asked for a lot of aid for our Manchukuo, which is a great achievement.The mourning family originally thought about how to reward you, but since you stood up and took the initiative to provoke this responsibility, then the merits and demerits would be offset, and the mourning family would not be held accountable.However, you must remember this matter for a long time, and train a strong general to protect the family and defend the country as soon as possible.Otherwise, the next time the Russians come, there will not be only such a cavalry" "Slave Xie Empress Dowager Longen" Rong Lu was moved to kowtow, and said in his heart that this old lover has not done anything perfectly.Otherwise, he doesn't say it, but his heart is unbalanced."
Okay, Rong Lu's sin can be forgiven, but the person directly responsible for the defense of Blackwater City cannot be pardoned.The military newspaper mentioned a deputy commander named Bushunda, and the other generals were all killed in battle, but he was greedy for life and afraid of death, so he hid himself.This kind of person can't stay, pass on the will of the mourning family, and immediately ask and behead" Cixi finally threw out this scapegoat, which can be regarded as an understanding of this matter, and someone must be responsible for such a big matter.Bu Shunda is this unlucky guy, even if he is a close confidant of Prince Gong, no one dares to intercede for him at this time.After Cixi gave her will, she announced her retirement from the dynasty and dragged the little emperor back to the palace.Rong Lu was also notified to meet in the dormitory, which had been under construction since Cixi moved over.There were very few skilled craftsmen among the Manchus, but there were still some people who could build houses.The speed of building the palace is very slow, and the whole palace is divided into two bedrooms, east and west, with the church built by Lao Maozi as the central axis.The east side was used by the emperor for rest and office, and the west side was used by Cixi and other concubines.Rong Lu followed the little eunuch into the West Palace and stopped in front of Cixi's dormitory.After the little eunuch informed Li Lianying, Li Lianying passed on Cixi, and Rong Lu bowed down to Cixi's bed.The design here is still based on the Yanxi Hall in the Forbidden City, and all the furniture was moved from the Forbidden City in Shenyang.Cixi was a little tired and held the pot on the hot pot, and was about to turn thirty, but her skin was still unusually delicate, as smooth and elastic as a big girl.She has her own set of maintenance secrets, and although she doesn't have any cosmetics at this time, she can find natural ways to maintain them.Every night, a nurse is called to feed on breast milk and smear her face with honey.As soon as the "Empress Dowager Sheng'an" Rong Lu entered the door, he knelt on the ground and saluted Cixi.At this time, he still paid attention to a set of rules, and without Cixi's instructions, he was not allowed to look up and look directly."
Alright, get up and speak," Cixi softly snorted, causing the maids and eunuchs who were waiting in the room to retreat, leaving only the two of them.Rong Lu was not there for a while, and Cixi's heart was itching like a cat.It is said that a woman is as old as a tiger in her thirties, and Cixi is at this age like a tiger, and she is very lonely at night, often tossing and turning in hot and dry heat."
I don't know why the Queen Mother summoned the servants to come" Rong Lu asked knowingly, at this time, his stomach was full of military reform, and he didn't have the heart to play with Cixi about these things.Qiao Zhiqing gave him 300,000 foreign guns, which could arm almost the entire Manchu young man."
Monkey cub, I went to Beijing to see a lot of girls, did I lose all my souls" Cixi pretended to glare at him angrily, her face a little anxious and blushing."
Where is the queen mother, the minion's heart can only pretend to be the queen mother and the emperor, pretending to be our Qing Dynasty, and there is no other thought" Rong Lu hugged his fists and was happy, and said in his heart This little widow is really anxious, and she began to complain in a few words.But he didn't dare to say it, if he let Cixi know that he was so frivolous, he would immediately let his head fall to the ground
