The next day, Firefox sent back the death of Emperor Tongzhi.The matter was kept secret by the Qing court until many days later.Firefox also collected news from all walks of life, including official news and secret news from the gossip.It is said that Emperor Tongzhi did not like the queen around him, and the concubine he liked was tortured to death by Cixi, causing him to secretly go out of the palace to look for flowers and willows, and finally contracted a body of flower willow disease.Qiao Zhiqing took the news of the fire fox, and it also secretly coincided with what happened in his time and space.He now became more and more convinced that there was a certainty in everything.No matter how much he changes, what should have happened will still happen, it just depends on whether it is in advance or delayed.After Wei Ziyou sent the news to the Shenyang Military Region, the Shenyang Military Region quickly notified the Qing court in an urgent manner.At this critical time, Qiao Zhiqing wanted to summon Rong Lu alone.The Qing court was full of doubts, and they didn't know what Qiao Zhiqing was going to do.But as the emperor of the Great China Federation, since they gave orders, they had to obey them.Rong Lu took only a few guards, went out to sea from the port of Vladivostok, and soon arrived at the port of Tianjin, and then changed to a train to arrive in the capital.It has been ten years since he last came to the capital for help.During this time, he had been in Manchukuo and did not go abroad, and when he came to the capital again, he was still stunned by the prosperity here.He is like a child arriving in the city from the mountains, seeing everything feels fresh, as if he has entered a strange world.In recent years, the automobile industry has developed rapidly, and there are already a lot of black cars on the street.When Rong Lu saw this kind of moving steel shell, he felt like seeing an immortal's magic weapon, and he was about to scream in fright.After he handed over to the embassy, he took him for a day at the Wanguo Hotel, and Qiao Zhiqing summoned him the next day."
Chen Ronglu greets His Majesty the Emperor" After Rong Lu was brought into the study by Yan Zhili, he bowed deeply when he saw Qiao Zhiqing.He knew that New China had long since abolished the kneeling ceremony, so he also bowed.Qiao Zhiqing summoned him here, and not everyone has the treatment, which is equivalent to treating him as his own.Rong Lu naturally knew the severity, and he was a little trembling when he was moved.But he also guessed what Qiao Zhiqing meant, this time Manchukuo will definitely make a big move."
Sit down and talk" Qiao Zhiqing smiled slightly, motioning for Rong Lu to sit down in the guest seat."
Thank you, Your Majesty the Emperor" After so many years, when the two met again, Rong Lu's heart was full of emotion.He had gray hair on his sideburns, and in the blink of an eye he was almost fifty."
I haven't seen you for so many years, but I didn't expect that the famous protector everywhere is almost gray now" Qiao Zhiqing quipped, relieving Ronglu's nervousness.At this time, Yan Zhili made two bowls of herbal tea for the two of them and brought them up, and Qiao Zhiqing also took a sip of the tea bowl.At this time, it was summer, and the ceiling fan had been installed in the study.There is no technical difficulty in this kind of thing, but a miniature electric engine, which was invented by Xu Jianyin five years ago.Of course, this is also due to Qiao Zhiqing's suggestion, but Qiao Zhiqing only provided ideas, and the rest of the credit went to the inventor.Xu Jianyin has long studied the engine thoroughly, and this technical content is not difficult for him at all."
What Your Majesty said is that the years are unforgiving, and half of your body is about to fall into the ground" Rong Lu laughed at himself, looked up at the electric fan in a trance, and the heat on his body suddenly decreased a lot.He still wore long braids, and the clothes on his body were out of place in this environment, and they were still the old-fashioned black robes of the Qing court.It's hard to find a single person on the street, and it's far behind the times."
The years have changed, but you have not.I am afraid that you have deep feelings when you come to the capital this time" Qiao Zhiqing looked at Rong Lu with a flat face, over the years, he has become more and more calm.This kind of blandness, the calmness of pointing out the country and looking up to the world is already an existence that Ronglu cannot catch up.When he was young, Qiao Zhiqing first entered the battlefield.The two were also the right-hand men of the Qing court, and were known as Nanqiao and Beirong.Now one has become a giant, and the other has become an ant.Rong Lu chewed on the meaning of Qiao Zhiqing's words, and knew in his heart that every word Qiao Zhiqing said would not be for no reason."
Your Majesty the Great Emperor, Rong Lu's status is humble, even if he holds military power, he is deeply constrained in the court.When Emperor Tongzhi was alive, he wanted to change many times, but he didn't bring about it.It's easy to say, but it's hard to change" Rong Lu sighed, already understanding what Qiao Zhiqing meant.With the death of Emperor Tongzhi this time, the Qing court will definitely usher in a century-old change."
The Protector is really a smart person, if I support you behind your back this time, do you say that this change should not be done" Qiao Zhiqing smiled, it was really easy to talk to a person like Rong Lu, and he understood one thing.Rong Lu's face was pale, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.When Qiao Zhiqing said this, he also made it clear about the matter, and sure enough, everything made him guess correctly."
Your Majesty the Great Emperor, are you ready for Manchukuo to welcome back Zai Xiang Beyler" Rong Lu clenched his fists, and after some struggle, he had already made a decision and cut directly to the topic."
You're a smart guy and you know what to choose.The general trend is the same, you don't know how to change, you can only die" Qiao Zhiqing smiled and did not make this matter clear.He wants to see what Rong Lu performs, if this person doesn't know how to be flexible, then there is no need to stay."
Your Majesty the Great Emperor, rest assured, your subordinates fully understand what you mean."
Rong Lu shuddered, Qiao Zhiqing's meaning couldn't be more clear.This sentence is not only about the Qing court, but also about him."
It's good to understand, then I'll wait for the good news of the Lord Protector" Qiao Zhiqing smiled and got up to see off the guests.He believes that this old fritter will definitely make the right choice, and no one can stop him in the face of the general trend."
After so many years, the time has finally come.Lan'er, I really can't help you this time" Rong Lu left the study with his fists clenched, looking at the sky blankly, his eyes were covered with mist.He walked out of the presidential palace and walked on the streets of the capital for a long time.The guards followed him indefinitely, and the pedestrians on the street pointed at them and laughed as if they were looking at aliens.After so many years, even the old and young in New China have cut off their braids.People dressed like them looked like they had come out of a grave.Rong Lu didn't care about other people's eyes at all, and still wandered the streets aimlessly.He had walked through the street countless times, but now it had completely changed its appearance, and the floor was covered with smooth asphalt.The streets are lined with shops of all sorts of strange shapes.He had never seen or heard of it, and it felt like he had traveled through time and space to the world of the future."
Change, for the future of the Manchus, this can only be the case" He sighed lightly, his eyes instantly became firm, and he took the guards back to Manchukuo by ship on the same day
