Chapter 48 Use

Previous note: It is actually easy to understand the incident of the emperor leaving the palace. Even in ancient times, it was rare and common for the emperor to leave the palace in a concealed manner. During the Qing Dynasty, it was very common for Kang and Yonggan to leave the palace in a concealed manner. After leaving the capital, that was a big event.

Start of the text:

I drank the wine and recalled Hurd's words. His meaning was very obvious, that I wanted China to be the spokesman for Britain and to protect Britain's interests in China from being divided by other countries. The UK would give China a considerable degree of help in all aspects.

In fact, for me, his conditions are quite tempting, and I have to admit that this old man speaks quite skillfully, and often points out your weakness in just one sentence, which also makes him stand in an invincible place without asking for help.

The wine of foreigners has a unique taste, and the mellow feeling is tangled around the tip of my tongue. I can't help but enjoy this tranquil comfort. The sunlight shines through the glass window, reducing the domineeringness and leaving only that warmth.

Heard might have wanted to give me more time to think about it, and didn't ask, stood up and walked a few steps, perhaps because he felt the heat caused by the anxiety of waiting. Heard stretched out his hands and pushed open the window.

A gust of wind blew in, suddenly awakening me. I suddenly remembered my original intention, and I was brought to his thoughts by a few words.

Yes, why bother rushing to answer him? I haven't asked my own question yet, but when I think of this, I laughed silently.

Heard heard this and turned around and smiled, "Why is Your Majesty laughing?"

I put down my glass and sat down, picked up the bottle and shook it, "There is not much wine in this bottle. Come on, Mr. Hurd, let me pour you wine."

Hurd bowed and thanked him, but dared not refuse.

I raised the bottle and said, "Mr. Hurd's wine in the glass is empty. Sir, from my perspective, there are really many empty wine glasses in the east. Can you care about this bottle of wine?"

"Your Majesty said it well." Hurd was also a smart man. He understood what I was going to say without thinking. He walked back to his seat and sat down, drank the remaining wine in his glass, then smiled and put the wine glass in his hand upside down on the table and said, "Your Majesty, in Asia, maybe I will only see this wine glass in His Majesty's hand." Then he stared at me, reached out to take the wine bottle in my hand and said, "Please allow me to pour wine for the noble emperor."

I looked at him and smiled, and laughed, "Please pour wine for me, sir."

Hurd poured the wine and made a call and said, "Please taste the wine from the British Empire."

Hahaha, I drank it all in one sip, but I was sneering in my heart, if you want to use me, why can't I use you?

A conversation with Hurd really made me feel very happy. Since I had the help of the British, Hurd's meaning was also very obvious, that is, Britain would support China's status in East Asia. In this case, it confirmed the history I know in later generations.

In other words, as long as the war with Japan is not too bad, Britain will always stand on China's side, and Britain will also prevent the great powers from interfering in the Sino-Japanese conflict.

As for innovations in technology and other aspects, although Britain is not my favorite target, as a naval power, it can provide me with the greatest help in the navy. As for the army, I'd better find the Germans.

After thinking about this section, I couldn't help but feel good. After returning to the palace, I met Gao Jing talking to Longyu in Zhongcui's palace.

"Please..." As soon as he saw me, Gao Jing bowed and begged for mercy.

Before I could speak, Longyu shouted, "Girl, you are becoming less and less talkative. It would be fine if you lose your composure yourself, but you dare to plead for the rebel thief?"

Gao Jing's body shook and did not dare to say anything, but she refused to get up and just knelt down for a long time.

I looked stern and said coldly: "Gao Jing, you are the one who blocked this sword for me this time. If everyone is determined to rebel in the future, will I ask you to block the sword every time? You are too ignorant. Little Kouzi, go to the Qing government office to announce the imperial edict, and Shanqi handed the criminal Xu Gongwang to the Ministry of Justice for trial, and Sun Yuwen solved the case as soon as possible and arrested the culprit. Gao Jing made great contributions in saving the car, and asked the Lord of Jin County to be respected!"

Gao Jing trembled and fell to the ground. I looked at Longyu and signaled that I would leave it to her.

I don’t care about how their sisters talk about it, so I naturally have more important things to do.

After Zai Yi and his son were executed, it was naturally a heavy blow to the ambitious people, but it was easy for some bad factors to breed within the royal family. Since the death of Cixi, my authority has been growing increasingly, but the relatives and nobles I usually meet with were in awe when I saw me, and naturally I was more afraid than respect.

Haha, although we already have some capital to remove the ban system, we still have to care about the interests of the royal family. Even the Eight Banners who earn money and walk birds and drink tea all day long cannot move around easily. These are resources, so we don’t want them myself, and we can’t rush to the other side’s camp.

This guy Ronglu obviously has some ambitions, so the army naturally had to arrange for Nie Shicheng to guard against him. If there was an appropriate opportunity, he would have to do it.

What I have to do now is to visit Prince Gong, who is of great status, and first of all, after all, he just killed his adopted son and grandson, so he also needs to comfort him. Secondly, he will soon start to cooperate with the United Kingdom. It is impossible to manage without an experienced and talented person like Prince Gong.

The Jietai Temple is a good place. Although it is the hottest time of the year right now, there is a cool breeze on the high ground where Prince Gong is located, which is refreshing and pleasant.

Zai Wen and his men scattered around to guard me, and I walked alone towards the old man I respect most in this era.

Although he was in charge of the affairs of the Zongren Mansion and the Yudian Pavilion, Yi Xin still looked like the leisurely old man. With the notification from his family, Yi Xin stepped forward and did not kneel down when he saw me, saying, "I will not be able to kneel down and bow down."

I nodded and walked up to support him and said, "It's OK, it's OK. I should have come to see the Sixth Master long ago. But the new army has just been practicing, and the affairs of the various yamen have just been underway, so I can't get out of here for a while."

Yi Xin smiled and said nothing, walked to a stone pavilion on the ping-ping with me, sat down and said, "Is the emperor here this time for Zaiyi and his son?"

I nodded, Yi Xin took the tea from the maid, brushed away the heat and said, "The emperor has filtered it. Since he is no longer a member of my sixth room, the emperor does not need to come to Kuanmian's servant."

I laughed. Since this old man was so enlightened, it would save me a lot of effort, so I told him about Hurd's advice.

Yi Xin nodded while listening, "When I was young, I suggested that the Empress Dowager agree to the British conditions. However, it would be a good thing if the Empress Dowager refused, otherwise it would be a good thing." After saying that, he looked at me, took a sip of tea and continued, "What does the emperor mean now?"

I also took a sip of tea ceremony: "I am here to ask Liu Ye to come out to take charge of this matter. Foreigners are not my race. Although they are very good than me, they also have to rely on the Sixth Master's reputation to make foreigners have some concerns and not be too good to bully me."

Yi Xin said: "The emperor filtered it. According to the views of the servants, the British were good in their original intentions. The British had the most interests in China. He also had to reject the hands of other powerful people and reach into the bowl of the Qing Dynasty. When I was young, I thought about this. The British should be guarded against the great powers. However, if my Qing Dynasty was too weak, he would not be able to come far away to maintain it. Therefore, he should make good plans to ask me to strengthen myself. Although decades have passed, the situation has not changed drastically according to the servants."

I nodded and said, "The Sixth Master's words are in line with my wishes. What I worry about is the only way. My Qing Dynasty has its own interests..." As I said, he looked at him and said, "It is the interests of our country, not the interests of the royal family. Therefore, the help of the British should not be too much. If it is too much, China will not become China. Therefore, I think it is better to be short than to be excessive. If there is any shortcomings, our China will try our best to make up for it, and it may not be impossible. I am here today to explain this section to the Sixth Master."

Yi Xin nodded slowly, took a deep breath and said, "The emperor is wise, and the servant did not think about this festival until he was old and weak. The emperor is wise and the servant is admired."

I laughed and said, "Does Sixth Master still have to say this in front of me? I want to ask Sixth Master to take charge of his affairs. The Agricultural and Industrial Army, the Mining Road, the E-mail, He and Telecommunications, all walks of life, to promote profits and eliminate disadvantages. I also ask Sixth Master to think about me, the country, and serve the court."

Yi Xin looked at me and didn't speak for a long time. Suddenly, she sighed: "Your Majesty, I have been criticizing you all my life, and I have long lost interest in power and position. Now the emperor wants a slave to serve the country, but I will devote myself to my efforts until I die."

I just agreed, and I laughed and said, "Sixth Master is so serious. I will never lose to Sixth Master. Since that's the case, I will go back to the palace. When will Sixth Master officially start it, I will also know it."

Yi Xin hesitated and said, "Emperor..." Seeing that I was confused, he continued, "When I was plotting against the rebellion, I dared to ask the emperor what he meant."

I lowered my face, my heart was hardened, and said, "I will be killed without mercy."

Yi Xin sighed and said, "I just ask the emperor to not commit more killings for the sake of the country."

I asked, "Nation?"

Yi Xin nodded and said, "The emperor just ordered Yung Wing to innovate education. If the Ministry of Justice starts to conduct strict trials, this matter will inevitably be implicated. The slave cherishes this Rong's talent, so he dares to plead with the emperor."

I breathed a sigh of relief. So I thought Yung Wing was in charge of the matter. So I nodded and said, "I just forgive this person."

Yi Xin smiled and said, "I thanked the emperor. I have another word to submit to the emperor."

I smiled and said, "Sixth Master, just say nothing."

Yi Xin said: "If the emperor wants to do great things, he must first establish great power. I have been living here in recent years and have been thinking about it. This is what I said. Over the past decades, there have been too many things that have been burdened by a single thought of kindness."
