Dexi is the son of a family in Prince Qing's palace. The so-called son of a family is the slave of a slave's slave... Anyway, he has been a slave for generations.
Being born, growing up, marrying a wife, running errands, and finally giving birth to children in the master's house, all of them are living under the hands of the master.
This kind of person is a real direct line supporter. Or else Prince Qing will find a way to arrange errands in the household department for him?
Is this kind of slave able to knock on the door and disturb such a secret meeting? How about an outsider? He must have been beaten to death, dragged out and buried.
"Damn it, what the hell is this? Can it be bigger than me and Fifth Brother drinking?"
An angry Yikuang opened the door and slapped him in the face. Dexi didn't feel angry at all after receiving the slap. He obeyed and it was more natural than his own father to slap him.
Kneeling directly on the ground, he said anxiously, "There's a telegram. There's a telegram from the Prime Minister's Office...Long live the Lord...Long live the Lord..."
"Ah! You're breathing so hard..." Yikuang dragged Dexi, who was kneeling at the door, into the room, then closed the door smoothly, looking around before closing the door.
"Say! What's wrong with Long Live Lord?"
"Two Masters...Long Live Master...landed at Mawei, Fuzhou at noon today!"
"What! Have you landed? Returned to China? Why didn't you go to Shanghai or Tianjin?" Yi Kuang looked surprised.
The fifth master Yi Pei was still shocked, "Are you still guessing? Thirty thousand imperial soldiers are in Fuzhou. Where else can I go if I don't go there? Brother, I told you not to worry about it, hurry up ...You just don’t listen!”
"Haha... Now that Long Live Lord is here, do you still think you can see Fu Qing?"
"Hey! My big plan to make a fortune! Hurry up..." Yi Kuang slapped his thigh anxiously, "Dexi, hurry up and spend 400,000 yuan on your account... no no no... 500,000... no no No... six hundred thousand taels!"
"Yes, you pay 600,000 taels of silver and give it to Fuqing... Just say that I am loyal to the Qing Dynasty's northwest telegraph cause! Go quickly!"
He raised his foot and kicked Dexi. As expected, Dexi was Yi Kuang's slave. He really didn't belong to the same family. He was even stingier than Prince Qing.
"Huh? Six hundred thousand taels? Ah... why are there so many?" The deer-headed and rat-eyed people really don't look like a human being.
Yi Kuang was so angry that he almost cried. He went up and slapped her again, "You are just an idiot. Hurry up and stop talking nonsense..."
Dexi took 600,000 yuan in silver and rode a fast horse to Master Qing's house in the alley deep in the flowers. At this time, Yikuang had no intention of drinking anymore and kept bowing to his brother.
"Brother, please give me some kind words. Brother, I was wrong, I was all wrong... Why is Lord Long Live back today, and why is it so fast?"
Emperor Tongzhi's landing really caught the Manchus off guard. The court had previously received news that Emperor Tongzhi had arrived in Manila, and the telegram returned at that time said that the emperor would be in the Philippines for inspection for more than 20 days.
However, he did not expect that Emperor Tongzhi was strongly stimulated in Luzon. The aggressive expansion of the Chinese people made him feel the crisis. As a result, he left after only five days of inspection.
The court still arranged according to the previous schedule, but unexpectedly the young emperor returned home more than a month early!
They didn't even follow the original plan. The earliest feedback given by the Ministry of Rites to the young emperor was to go to Shanghai first, then take the sea route to Dagukou and finally enter Beijing.
Unexpectedly, the little emperor's first stop was Mawei, where he came up to review his troops!
The illusion of peace in the Manchu and Qing court in the past two years was suddenly disrupted, and all forces from all sides began to move.
People like Yi Kuang only want to make money and then seize power. This banquet for fifth brother Yi Pei is also to stuff the little emperor with sand for the last time before he returns home.
But he didn't expect to come back so soon, which suddenly disrupted all his plans. The errands of the household department were not available, and the knot in Fuqing was not untied. There were two big pieces of fat in his mouth that he couldn't eat. arrive.
Yi Pei was not in the mood to talk nonsense with this idiot at the moment. He had to hurry up and discuss important matters with the real big shots in the court. Who could afford such a small amount of money?
"Okay, don't bother me anymore. I've pointed out the way for you anyway. It's up to you how to go... Now that I'm gone, where are the people you serve? Are they all dead? Why don't you let me lead the horse... …”
Yi Pei hurriedly walked out of the side of the flower hall. Amid the surprised gazes of the guests and the accompaniment of the gongs and drums on the stage, he rushed out, ignoring everyone's greetings along the way.
Yikuang chased through several doors but failed to catch up. In the end, he spat on the ground angrily, "Bah! What the hell... He's a prince, to let Fu Qing be so scared..."
After returning to the room and sulking for a while, Dexi walked in with a depressed look on his face. As soon as he entered the room, he knelt down, "Master! The errand was not done... Then Fu Qing is gone, hurry up." Tianjin, they said they would take a sea ship to the sea to greet the Long Live Lord..."
"Oh...you're such a waste..." Yikuang rushed forward and punched and kicked him, and the evil fire of a bad day was poured out on Dexi.
"I want you to be an official! I want you to go to the household department! I want you to cause trouble for me... You are a dog slave who is not worth a donkey's money. I will beat you to death..."
Yi Kuang went to death to teach his slaves a lesson, while Third Master Qing went to death to whip his fast horse. More than a hundred personal guards around him escorted him all the way to Tianjin in the dusty east.
"Long live my Lord! You are finally back, you are finally back...the Qing Dynasty finally has a backbone!"
"Third Master, slow down...slow down...there's still time, there's enough time..." No matter how the guards behind him shouted, Fu Qing would not slow down.
Behind Fu Qing, there was another group of people preparing to set off, which was the welcoming team organized by the imperial court. Weng Tonghe and officials from the Six Ministries, led by the Ministry of Rites, were hurriedly carrying the guard of honor out.
The emperor's carriages, horses, chariots, flags and umbrellas... and even the palace lanterns of the palace maids must be carried out quickly!
There were hundreds of carriages found by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Boxes after boxes of welcome supplies were loaded onto the carriages and tied up. The officers of Shuntian Mansion used whips to maintain order.
Weng Tonghe personally commanded the officials of the six departments. The Imperial Master's face glowed red and his whole body became excited!
"Hurry up! Hurry up! I told you to prepare in advance, but you didn't listen. Are you dumbfounded now?"
"The convoy must set off this evening and must board the ship at Dagukou in three days... Whoever falls behind will be dealt with strictly according to national laws!"
"Long live the Lord is back. We can go and greet him. It is a blessing that we have cultivated for several lifetimes. We should seize it..."
Weng Tonghe and other officials were all going crazy, with the urging from the sub-districts, the eunuchs, maids, helpers from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, etc., plus the soldiers from the Tiger Spear Battalion and Leopard Cavalry Battalion.
It was so crowded that a cart of wooden boxes was accidentally knocked over to the ground, and the bright yellow curtain on the chariot rolled to the ground and was covered with dust.
"How brave... Come here, drag him down and beat him to death with sticks!"
