The old farmer arranged a few words at the door, and then someone took the treasure and rode towards the Forbidden City. The old farmer who returned to the house said regretfully, "It was a good opportunity, but it was wasted..."
"It's not a pity...it's not a pity! The Manchus used such rogue methods to suppress the turmoil in the court, but everyone knows that the war has been lit in the hearts of the Han people..."
"Wait patiently. You must wait patiently. Once the seeds are planted, they will sprout one day..."
"No matter how powerful Cixi is, she can't hope to make all the Han people in the world forget this incident... This court only has a few years to live. Although I can't see the day when they will perish, it should be soon..."
"Think about it... How obscene and dirty is it to rely on dirty things like Xiao Huangying and Salonga to divert people's discussion? I admit that this method is indeed effective, but it is no longer available The magnanimity of the imperial court of a great country!"
"To threaten me with seventy lives? Very good, you succeeded... But this has also reflected that they have long since become mad dogs with no limits and no shame!"
"These are all changes..."
The old farmer's eyes flashed: "Commander... Then why don't we take action? Do we really want to give the historical merits of changing the sky to the sun to the man named Xiao?"
Zeng Guofan smiled bitterly and said, "If you don't give it to him, who else can you give it to? Let's not say that he has established the foundation of the Chinese code for eternity, let alone that he has successfully created the prototype of Chinese industrialization..."
"At Xiao Letian's age...he has to do this job!"
The old farmer was immediately speechless. After thinking about the ages of the Marshal, the Ninth Marshal and even Zuo Zongtang, he was speechless after thinking about Xiao Letian's age.
"Really...do you really have great luck? To start such a big business at such a young age, is it really the will of God?"
"But how old is Xiao Letian this year? Why doesn't anyone know?"
"Don't ask...don't pry...he has his secrets, and sometimes it won't work if he reveals them!"
The old farmer continued to rub the Marshal's legs, and after thinking about it for a while, he still couldn't help but ask the question, "Commander...what's going on in that antique shop in Sichuan...?"
"Is there really a ghost shop?"
Zeng Guofan's leg muscles became obviously stiff, and the expression on his face became ugly. It took him a long time to answer, "Cixi is a very shrewd person. He knows everything about the court affairs in the Qing Dynasty without a teacher!"
"But she is a woman after all, and she has her weaknesses... This woman is too obsessed with stories about gods, Buddhas and ghosts, and she believes in them secretly!"
"Just let her cause trouble for me. Can't I scare her?"
The old farmer suddenly laughed, "That's it! The commander is playing psychological warfare with that woman! Smart, really smart... I'm just telling you, how can there be a ghost shop?"
But he never expected that the ashen color on Zeng Guofan's face would turn three points darker. He leaned on the couch and put the wolfskin cloak next to him on his upper body. A stream of cold air surged from his heart.
"Burn me a charcoal pot...the weather is getting colder..."
Zeng Guofan's eyes were obviously focused on the calligraphy and painting on the wall, but the old farmer found that the focus of the commander's pupils did not seem to be on the landscape painting at all, as if the commander was looking at a void.
At this time, the commander-in-chief suddenly spoke, with a weird smile on his lips, "I said I wanted to scare Cixi... but I didn't say it was a lie!"
"Haha... Can't I just use the real thing to scare people? Old farmer, you have to remember that the most frightening thing in the world is actually the real thing..."
After saying this sentence, Old Nong, a master of martial arts in the inner family, obviously felt as if he had been electrified. He looked at the wolf skin cloak on the commander's body, and pieces of black wolf fur exploded by themselves, as if at that moment It feels like a dark wind is blowing!
If only Isiha were here, he would definitely say in horror, "The legends told by the Manchus in the old life are all true! The black wolf hair can really blow up on its own as a warning!"
Li Tuo returned to the Forbidden City and met Li Lianying soon. While waiting for Cixi's summons, he first told Li Lianying what had just happened.
After all, Li Lianying was an eunuch, a yin person with weak yang energy. When she heard such evil things, she was so frightened that she almost peed her pants. "Oh my ancestors! Is there such a scary thing?"
"A fan bought in a ghost shop? It's impossible... Namo Amitabha! Namo Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva! Namo Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva!"
Li Tuo quickly tried to persuade him, "Maybe the commander is trying to scare people. Who can prove the truth of such a thing?"
"Oh, you don't know... The Queen Mother will definitely feel uncomfortable if the Queen Mother finds out about this matter... But it's not okay not to tell the Queen Mother! What should I do? What should I do?"
"Li Tuo... You are the one who started this matter, so you have to take care of it for Lafayette!"
Seeing Li Lianying's stern face, Li Tuo cursed in anger, "Is convincing Zeng Guofan a job that ordinary people can do?" Even Xiao Letian may not be able to do it. How can I, a little Zhang Jing, force the commander-in-chief? '
'Damn you damn eunuch, I curse you to enter a ghost shop...'
She was cursing in her heart, but things had to be done. If the Hunan Army really started to fight back today, Cixi would definitely push herself out to take the blame. Not to mention whether she could save her life, let alone the reward.
But what else can he do? He is just a slick little official who knows all the unspoken rules of the officialdom. It's okay to scare laymen and incompetent wastes, but he really wants to fight with the commander-in-chief, which is not the same level at all!
what to do? What should be done? Li Tuo was thinking of a way, and at this moment Cixi was also rushing from the Imperial Garden to the Yangxin Hall and would be arriving soon.
"I told you, Mr. Li, you should think of a solution quickly! The Za family has made it clear that this matter is a mess, and you must not involve me!"
"Don't worry, Chief Manager... there is still hope, there really is hope. Marshal Zeng didn't say anything to death in the end. There is still room for relaxation!"
At this point, we can only resign ourselves to fate. Let’s stabilize these bastards first!
To the north of Yangxin Gate is the harem. Cixi's warm sedan chair has already appeared in their sight, but at this time Li Tuo is still at a loss and can't think of a way to deal with it!
Just when the two were at a loss, and when Cixi was about to hear the conversation between the two, a young eunuch suddenly ran quickly from the south, followed by a fifth-grade military attaché.
"Report...the commander sent someone to see the Queen Mother Lafayette...report..."
With a thud, Li Tuo and Li Lianying's hearts rose to their throats, and at this moment Cixi's warm sedan just stopped in front of them.
The palace maid opened the curtain of the sedan chair, and Cixi, who looked refreshed, walked out of it, "Oh... Li Tuo, you little monkey has very fast legs! The errand is done..."
Li Tuo's face was as red as a monkey's butt. Just as he was about to speak, he realized that Cixi had already spotted the newly arrived military attaché of the Hunan Army, the general sent by Zeng Guofan, who was kneeling on the ground holding a brocade box in his hands.
"Greetings to the Queen Mother, Lafayette... Marshal Zeng has sent his subordinates to give gifts to the Queen Mother!"
"Oh...that's a good thing! The Ai family likes gifts. Open them and take a look..."
Li Lianying took the brocade box bravely, opened the mechanism and took a look. Her stinky face suddenly burst into laughter, "Oh... Lafayette, what a wonderful item... It's as green as a puddle of spring water..."
"Jade Ruyi... What a beautiful jade Ruyi!"
Li Tuo's heart suddenly fell back into his stomach. He knelt down with a thud and said, "Congratulations to Lafayette, congratulations to Lafayette... All the best, Lafayette! All the best!"
The emerald green jade Ruyi is not big, just a bunch of long, but the spring green is so beautiful that it moved Cixi's heart!
Note: There will be another update in the afternoon!
