The wheels rolling over the stone pavement made a rhythmless clattering sound. The gas lights were flashing on the street. It was already late at night. There were not many pedestrians on the street. However, in order to protect these Oriental VIPs, there were a lot of policemen standing guard. Basically, there were about five or six There is a policeman guarding the convoy just a few meters away.
Some of the windows of the buildings along the street were still open, revealing curious eyes staring at the convoy of Orientals and talking about them.
The oriental-style ink flower scrolls that appeared in the morning are still fluttering, and the weather forecast indicates that it will still be good weather tomorrow, so the staff of the foundation did not put away these precious silk paintings.
At this moment, Xiao Letian was leaning on his chair with a tired look on his face, his head tilted as he looked out the window at the exotic street scene. This was London in the 19th century, the dirty metropolis where Oliver Twist lived, full of steampunk style. Decadent and fallen, yet standing on top of the world.
"I'm very tired, let me rest for a while... you can discuss it among yourselves..." After saying this, Xiao Letian closed his eyes, and the car fell into silence again.
After a while, Wang Huaiyuan laughed, "Haha... That's right, he is really a white-eyed wolf. The British hooked up with our Majesty and left without caring about the relationship between master and disciple..."
"But isn't this bad? We knew from the beginning that he was a white-eyed wolf, so we worked hard to train him. We can't really want to train a holy king for the Manchus, right?"
"Zai Chun's ability to betray us shows that this person is very cold-blooded and has a rebellious spirit in his heart... But that's fine. If he can betray us, he can also betray that court!"
"That's right!" Luo Huo clapped his hands and said, "The head of state has long said that it is necessary to poison Zai Chun's heart to make him fully accept Western ideas, and then bring such ideas into power, and the conflict will be Born from here!”
"On one side is the Eight Banners Group who clings to the ancestral family traditions and does not want to change, and on the other side is the young emperor who has seen the world and accepted new ideas. When there is no conflict, there will be ghosts!"
"Zai Chun is not a fuel-efficient person. His new imperial army dared to bombard the Russian fleet at the mouth of the Min River. It would have been absolutely impossible without Zai Chun's nod!"
"When a young man reaches a high position and gains so much power, how can he not be inflated? Can he withstand the control of those old guys? Then as long as we push the boat forward and work harder on both sides, we won't have to worry about not being able to fight!"
"As long as the Manchus and the Qing Dynasty have a civil war, as long as they have a civil war! The opportunity will come..."
Sima Yun nodded and suddenly said to Wang Huaiyuan, "In the Manren Xishan New Army Camp, how are your harvests from your craftsmanship? Is there anything unusual in Guizi Liu?"
Wang Huaiyuan smiled coldly, "It was all expected. Prince Gong is really smart. He has French, British, and Russian instructors behind him to train new recruits, and these instructors are all fed by Guiziliu with money!"
"On the surface, they are only responsible for the training of new recruits and do not participate in any later command and management of the army, but this is all a lie. If there is any change, these instructors will immediately fill the Xishan Camp and become battlefield commanders!"
"Furthermore, Guiziliu sent a large number of domestic slaves to join the army, basically controlling all the positions of grassroots officers. The senior generals sent by the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces may be eliminated at any time..."
"The Xishan Camp has gradually escaped from the control of the imperial court and has gradually become a private army of Yi?"
Luo Huo lit up a cigarette and took a deep breath. "What a good thing! It seems that the first fire of the civil war must have been ignited by these two uncles and nephews..."
At this moment, Xiao Letian suddenly spoke, "Throw away the cigarette, open the window, I'm a little stuffy..." The three of them could hear the tiredness in Xiao Letian's tone. Luo Huo quickly opened the glass window and took out the cigarette he had just smoked. Lost on the street.
"The head of state...what's wrong? Do you want to ask Doctor Huang to take a look..."
"No, I know my situation myself. I'm just tired... Do you know? The moment Zaichun and I parted just now, I suddenly had a very bad feeling in my heart..."
"I don't know what's going on. I just have a very bad feeling. I have a feeling that something will happen to Zaichun in the future, something big will happen..."
"You remember, what I want is for Zaichun to be alive. What I want is for him to exhaust his last bit of enthusiasm in the non-stop civil war, so that he has to bow to reality, and finally sign an abdication edict, or directly donate soil. Yu Hua Clan!”
"This is our grand strategy, but I just heard the tone of your words. It seems that you want him to die, don't you?"
Xiao Letian's cold tone caused the temperature in the car to drop several degrees, and the three of them were so embarrassed that they didn't know what to say.
Wang Huaiyuan coughed lightly, "Of course, of course we know that the Hidden Dragon Plan actually left a place for Zai Chun. We also agree with this plan. As long as we can safely donate the soil, it doesn't matter if they let the entire Manchu tribe go." !”
"But you have to think carefully. Many times, it's not as good as God..."
One sentence made Xiao Letian feel even worse. He didn't know what happened just now, but he always had the feeling that he and Zai Chun were about to say goodbye forever. This was a very strange feeling, but it was so clear.
"Forget it, let's not talk about Zai Chun's matter! How is the cleaning up at the East Palace? Have our brothers made arrangements?"
"Everything has been arranged. In the afternoon, 100 of the 800 honor guards were stationed in the East Palace, and the remaining 700 entered the barracks in Hyde Park. The British vacated several barracks for us..."
"The remaining brothers who have not disembarked are placed in the cavalry camp in the eastern suburbs of London, close to the Thames River and only half an hour away from the Reach. This way we are at odds with each other and are also a kind of protection..."
Buckingham Palace is not far from the East Palace, just a block away. As everyone was talking, the brilliant lights of the East Palace came into view. The gate was full of New Army soldiers, and British and Chinese attendants were divided into two lines and were quietly waiting for their master. Return.
"The head of state is back! The head of state is back... Prepare bath water and midnight snacks immediately..." Fang Guan has become the housekeeper of the official residence at this moment, and she has taken care of everything in order.
After getting off the carriage, Fangguan, who had come back early, held Xiao Letian's arm and said with a smile, "Fortunately, I didn't attend the banquet and came back early, otherwise I wouldn't know how chaotic it would be..."
"The kitchen is a mess. Your royal chef is not used to it at all. Until now, he has not even prepared a serious midnight snack. In the end, I forced Liu Dadao to prepare a little chaos for you..."
"It's been a whole day. I can clearly see how much you've eaten. It's not even a few mouthfuls, but you've drank a lot of wine... How many of the hangover pills you prepared earlier did you take? Taking them on an empty stomach is too harmful to the body... …”
Xiao Letian allowed Fang Guan to take care of him and enjoyed the personal service of the beautiful woman. As he walked, he said, "I will only keep Chinese attendants around me, and let the butlers and attendants sent by the British serve on the second line..."
"The kitchen is working overtime tonight and must prepare the menu for tomorrow night's banquet. Time is tight and Liu Dadao is in charge of the overall situation! Send someone to the barracks to see how our brothers are doing. Remember to report to me as soon as possible..."
The crowd surrounded Xiao Letian and walked into the study room of the mansion. After the door was closed, all the British attendants cleared out. It was only then that the anger in Xiao Letian's heart was finally relieved.
"Fuck! I'm so exhausted..." Before he could finish his words, Xiao Letian's eyes darkened, his head felt dizzy, and he passed out immediately.
