Everyone in the military aircraft department was stunned. In everyone's impression, although Li Lianying was the most favored eunuch in the Forbidden City, his personality was much more easy-going than Ande Hai. [Read the latest book]
Although Li Lianying also collected illegal money, she still gave her enough face in front of officials, especially important officials of the court. Li Lianying always lowered her stature and never acted recklessly.
Now in the eunuch circle of the capital, Li Lianying is the one to watch in the Forbidden City, and Zhou Daoying is the one to watch in Jingshan, Beihai. Each of them has his own territory. They are really a pair of heroes in the eunuch world.
Li Lianying relied on her cautiousness and easy-going manner to gain a lot of popularity and gave the ministers a good impression. But today, when the smiling eunuch got angry, people realized that eunuchs are always perverts, no matter how good they are.
Beating someone to death is a very cruel thing. A group of eunuchs beat one eunuch to the ground with fists and kicks, kicking, kicking, beating, scratching, and pinching... Anyway, eunuchs are originally very feminine people. People, they couldn't kill each other at once, they tortured each other bit by bit slowly, and the torture of the other party was unbearable.
Everyone at the military aircraft department couldn't help but gasped, "It's better to just beat him to death! Cutting flesh with a dull knife hurts more..."
The little eunuch who was knocked to the ground rolled around and begged for mercy, "My dear father, please spare my life! My dear father, please get around me... I don't dare to do it anymore? I don't dare to do it anymore..."
Li Lianying didn't care about his plea. It was just because this bastard asked Lao Jiang of the Prime Minister's Yamen for a door package and angered the Queen Mother that she received this slap. If you don't die, how will I care about other people in the future.
"Hit, keep hitting me!"
Cixi and Ci'an are the empress dowagers. According to the rules, they should move to Cining Palace, where the empress dowagers and concubines spend their old age. However, due to various reasons, neither Cixi nor Ci'an were willing to go to Cining Palace to enjoy their blessings, so until now Cixi still lives in Chuxiu Palace, the residence where he first became a concubine.
Chuxiu Palace is Cixi's blessed place. It was here that she gave birth to Emperor Tongzhi, and it was here that she was named a noble concubine. Every brick and tile here made Cixi comfortable to look at.
Now that he is the Queen Mother, he still occupies this place as his bedroom. Every morning after Cixi had washed herself, she would go to the Yangxin Hall to read memorials or read books. She was only in her thirties, an age when she was full of energy. At this moment, she did not have the pampering attitude of later generations of Lafayettes.
The weather is bad today, but Cixi also plans to go to the Yangxin Hall to sit for a while. After all, the Jiangnan money crisis and the Russian expeditionary force are major events that cannot be delayed for even a moment.
But just when she was being carried to the Yangxin Hall in a soft sedan chair, she suddenly saw Lao Jiang at the south end of the corridor, blocked in the corridor, at the entrance of the Yangxin Palace.
"Bah... I don't care if you are in a hurry! Rules are rules. Is it reasonable for you not to follow the rules?"
"You want me to go in and complain without a door bag? Damn it, go ahead and dream. I've been on duty here for two years. If you don't pay me some money, I won't be able to drink the northwest wind!"
"You are really ignorant, let alone you. Even if you are a first- or second-rank official, even if you are the governor of a feudal official, there will be no one who enters the Forbidden City without being given a favor? This is a rule! Do you understand the rules..."
A ten-year-old eunuch was blocking the corner between the passage and the main entrance of Yangxin Hall, stopping the panting Old Jiang from asking for a bribe. However, the guards and the leading eunuch behind Old Jiang did not even try to persuade him, but instead talked to him. The eunuch who was blocking the way looked at Lao Jiang with contempt.
Lao Jiang was sweating profusely, and his face stained with dirt was marked with the word "Dao". He wiped it with his sleeve and said with a smile, "My lord, please raise your hands! I have received an emergency message from the south." The telegram must be sent to the palace as quickly as possible. I was so anxious that I forgot to bring my wallet..."
"Can't I make up for my father-in-law later? I'll make up a big one for my father-in-law and the guards..."
"Bah... don't do this. You have the right not to have it expired. You can forget about me if you take the lead. I don't care about you so much. You have to get the door bag in your hands in advance. I’ve never heard of this thing having a back-up version…”
Lao Jiang was so angry that he really wanted to yell at them to get out. He also wanted to use the identity in the telegram to suppress these eunuchs, but he knew very well that this telegram was top secret and had not been shown to the Queen Mother. Before, it was absolutely not allowed to be leaked.
The ground in Sijiu City is particularly evil. These Eight Banner idlers and the talkative women in the palace don't know what secrecy is. As long as Lao Jiang dares to reveal even a word, it will definitely spread to Tongzhou in half a day.
"Please, father-in-law, I really forgot to bring money, I really forgot to bring money..."
At this time, suddenly there was a sneer from behind everyone, and a woman came over with a smile, "Hehehe... Is this still my official in the Qing Dynasty? Even the poorest people can't afford it? Is this still... My father-in-law in the Forbidden City? So poor that he has nothing to eat?"
"Li Lianying! Go and ask them how much money they are short of? Just how many Aijia rewards they are short of... Look at how pitiful they are!"
Li Lianying's face turned pale with fright. Although the Queen Mother was aware of the bad habits in the palace and the customs of doormats, she didn't care much about it. But regardless of whether the Queen Mother likes this kind of thing, how can such obscene things come to the attention of the Queen Mother.
Li Lianying was about to scold the young eunuch, but before she could say anything, the clerk named Jiang from the Prime Minister's Yamen suddenly knelt down and shouted, "The Queen Mother! The Queen Mother Lafayette! An urgent military intelligence telegram from Fujian, please don't delay... It's urgent." Military situation! The Queen Mother can only see it in person. It is really a big deal. I beg the Queen Mother to forgive me for being so reckless..."
While talking, Lao Jiang actually walked with his knees as his feet. He pushed aside the eunuchs who were blocking his way and walked all the way to Cixi. He held up the lacquered envelope with both hands and said, "Please read it to the Queen Mother..."
Li Lianying wanted someone to pull Lao Jiang away, but Cixi raised her hand to stop him. She actually took the sealed electricity with her own hands. When she opened it, she felt dizzy and almost fell down.
"The Queen Mother..." The surrounding eunuchs and maids quickly supported Cixi, picked up Cixi, raised her hand and gave Li Lianying a big slap in the face!
"Okay, okay... you have trained such a good slave! If you even dare to stop such a major military event and ask for a door package, the Qing Dynasty will die in your hands sooner or later..."
After speaking, Cixi threw away the support of the people around her and strode towards the Yangxin Hall. "I will send the ministers to discuss the affairs soon. Why don't you go and invite the Queen Mother of the East..."
Li Lianying covered her sultry face, and then stared at the little eunuch who was limp on the ground with a look like a dead person: "Hahaha... Why are you still standing there? Why don't you drag him to Tian Street and beat him to death!"
Then came the scene that Li Tuo saw, an extremely miserable beating, a series of punches and kicks, and the little eunuch who wanted to bribe gradually stopped wailing, and his body became limp and motionless.
After the body was dragged away, the blood on that area had no time to be wiped away, and was buried in yellow sand as if nothing had happened.
