As you wish, as you wish, as you wish! The meaning of Zeng Guofan's gift was too obvious. It was clear that the Hunan Army faction was going to stop making trouble!
This is great. Public opinion around the capital has been diverted away by the case of Salonga and Xiao Huangying. The people must have no interest in making trouble anymore. There is no such thing as a war. There is no better story than the story of Xiao Huangying. .
Including the story of stealing the golden seal of heaven, it has a bit of the style of the Seven Heroes and Five Righteousnesses. Maybe it won't take the storytellers of Santian Tianqiao to adapt it into a set of storytelling that will fill the audience.
The story is about Salonga hiring heroes from three mountains and five mountains to steal the Ouchi Golden Seal for his confidante Xiao Huangying. The two sides are fighting inextricably on the top of the Forbidden City!
The hearts of the people in the late Qing Dynasty were really too empty. They needed these things to fill them up. It was just spiritual opium!
The people no longer talk about it, and the court has to rely on political skills. The Manchus will not blame themselves. Xiao Letian has not returned to China yet. It is estimated that even if he returns to China, he will first want to open a factory to make money. He has not overthrown the Qing Dynasty for the time being. move.
The foreign devils have been in the honeymoon period with the Qing Dynasty recently, and they will not interfere with this matter, so the only thing left is the Hunan Army!
Marshal Zeng still cared about his old relationship. The lives of more than 70 members of Salonga's family forced Zeng Guofan to give up the attack. Cixi once again won the victory with shameless moral kidnapping.
Cixi liked jade so much. In fact, most of the modern Chinese people's obsession with jade came from Cixi's influence. Before Cixi, jade was just one of many jade stones.
Jadeite in wheel status is definitely not as good as Hetian jade, but it was this woman who single-handedly drove the atmosphere in the officialdom of the capital and even affected the people.
Stroking the handful of emerald green Ruyi, Cixi felt really refreshed and said, "Ruyi Ruyi... If you can follow Aijia's wishes, Aijia will certainly follow your wishes!"
"Declaration... Salonga's crime of stealing the gold seal cannot be pardoned. Send him and his wife to Zuo Zongtang's army in the northwest as slaves! The Aijia will give him a way to survive..."
"Just sell the remaining domestic slaves and maids to Li Tuo directly... Let the Ministry of Internal Affairs check the price at will, and let's deal with it like this!"
Very good, this is a happy outcome for everyone. Salonga and his wife cannot be exempted from guilt, but they can avoid death. Being sent to the Western Regions has been a very severe punishment since ancient times, second only to being sent to Ningguta as a slave.
Of course, such a punishment can block the public opinion among the officials and the people, but Zuo Zongtang and Zeng Guofan are both of the same faction. Zuo Zongtang cannot abuse the people whom Zeng Guofan saved.
When we get to the northwest, we will have some food to live in, and maybe let Saronga keep accounts or something, so we can survive!
As for the more than 70 slaves in Salonga's family, they won't be killed or exiled. It's good to package them up and sell them to Li Tuo at a discount!
One hundred taels of silver to rent an old house that has been built for seventy years, and then how about you, Li Tuo, give seven hundred taels to seventy domestic slaves? How suitable, how cheap... A yellow-flowered girl is worth ten taels of silver, isn't this just a waste of money?
In just two days, Li Tuo completed his counterattack in life. He also had a three-in-one courtyard with a garden, and more than 70 domestic slaves were fully equipped, and he only spent 800 taels of silver on all this!
With Li Tuo's cunning corrupt official's money bag, he still cares about eight hundred taels of silver? He can also get eight thousand taels!
When Li Tuo left the Cultivation Heart Hall, he was walking unsteadily, and his legs were as soft as if he were stepping on cotton! The scene before him was blurry.
I haven't slept for two days since yesterday, but I don't feel tired at all... Along the way from Yangxin Gate to Meridian Gate, all the eunuchs, guards and officials, regardless of their status, Manchu or Han, saw him There is no one who does not take the initiative to say hello.
Li Tuo has never seen so many smiling faces blooming towards him in his life!
He even saw the smiling faces of the two princes, Guiziliu and Yixuan. These two princes also knew the causes and consequences of last night's changes. Now they were summoned by Cixi to the palace to have a drink and a family banquet.
Of course Cixi wanted to show off her contribution. Not only did she invite her two brothers-in-law, but she also sent someone to invite Ci'an. The imperial dining room was already very busy at this moment.
It is estimated that tonight there will be gongs and opera in the Royal Garden, so the whole family will have a drink to celebrate the smooth settlement of this dispute!
With Cixi's victory and the majesty of her son's upcoming pro-government, she would naturally take over the power. This woman vowed to pick up the power and status she had lost during the palace coup, little by little!
Guiziliu nodded to Li Tuo in a rare moment, "The younger generation is to be feared, the younger generation is to be feared..."
Prince Chun Yixuan even held Li Tuo's hand, "Go and sit at my house in Shichahai when you have time, and do your best..."
If the people in the Forbidden City can't even understand such signals, they will be blind. The remaining officials dare to talk to Li Tuo, and even the second-rank officials have to nod and say hello.
Isiha was completely convinced. He walked behind Li Tuo with his chest raised and his belly folded. He decided that he would become Li Tuo's younger brother in the future. It was really a boost to hang out with this big brother!
After leaving the Meridian Gate, Li Tuo was suddenly stunned, "I...where should I go?"
"Ah? My lord, you have finished your errands. Of course you are going home..." Isiha knew at a glance that Li Tuo was squinting in joy.
"Don't worry, Mr. Li. Eunuch Li has already sent someone to deliver a message to the house you rented. Madam-in-law, your old housekeeper and the little maid have been packing things since the morning..."
"Eunuch Li specially sent more than 20 little Sulas to help, hired 12 large trucks outside the front door, and more than 20 powerful young men..."
"It's easy to work with so many people...all your things were moved there in one morning..."
"Huh? Moved here in the morning? So fast..."
"It's so fast. There are more than 40 people working together, and 12 large trucks are just pulling the furniture in your house. How long does it take?"
Li Tuo's family has a small population. He has a wife but no children, a maid, a smart boy, and a loyal elder brought from his hometown as the housekeeper.
There was no obvious hierarchy between these five people. They bought a small courtyard near Ciqikou, and the rent was only over forty taels of silver a year.
Of course, such a small house doesn't have many things. Although Li Tuo has money, he keeps it in the bank or makes various investments. The bulky guy really doesn't have much to do.
"So, my house in Ciqikou is no longer habitable?"
"It's not that bad... you should hurry up and run to the east single archway... your home is over the Elephant Trunk Pit. The Ministry of Internal Affairs has specially sent officials to deal with those minions!"
Li Tuo said with emotion, "This is a mansion? I can't believe it..." After saying that, he strode out quickly. When he entered East Chang'an Street, he saw the old housekeeper from his hometown with his wife. A sedan chair and four bearers were waiting in the cold wind.
"My lord is back!" The old housekeeper burst into tears with excitement. He was an old tenant in Li Tuo's home. Because he was loyal and honest, he asked the elder Li Tuo to take care of Li Tuo by name.
Since Li Tuo was a teenager when he was studying, this old housekeeper has been busy with Li Tuo taking care of things. He is more than a relative but not a relative.
The young master had made a meritorious service and got a mansion and a domestic slave. The old housekeeper was even happier than his own child becoming an official. Just after moving in at noon, he brought the original sedan bearers and warm sedans from the Salong family to East Chang'an Street to welcome Li Tuo. .
As soon as they saw the master and the four bearers, they knelt down and said, "I wish you well..."

There is no gentleman who does not support craftsmen. Thank you for the reward. You spend money to read books and give Xinjing red envelopes, so that Xinjing can have this bowl of rice.
It is the kindness of you all that makes the book "The Hidden Dragon of the Qing Dynasty" exist. If you give me a bite of food, I don't have to write about pornography, edging, violence... and other sinful words.
Hey... For the books you like, you should support the original ones! If the author has changed his career because of his job, what else are you reading?
