Mi Ji is a pro-China person. In addition, he has developed a keen sense of smell in the press and good personal relationships with Chinese and British diplomats. He has long known that China and Britain are about to form an alliance, so he naturally speaks more appropriately.

This is a good place to be quiet in the midst of the noise. The road in front of the door is crowded with people selling plasters and candied haws, and the arts and hand-style idle men who are basking in the sun on a cart, sitting on the side of the road waiting for the patrons, and blind men who set up stalls to tell fortunes. There are many things that make this place look very lifelike. When you go to the attic, it is another world. The elegant row of Xiangfei bamboos and gurgling water sounds continuously. Several kingfishers yell from time to time in the cage, and face a large screen wall, with four powerful words written on it: There is a unique world, the signature is very small, and it is hard to see who is his ink treasure.

A dozen guards brought by Zai Bing scattered around to take charge of the guards. The three of us went upstairs to the private room, which was the place where we met Gao Jing last time.

This is my second time here in this "Yuanfuji" teahouse. Because Mi Ji's identity is special, I don't want to take him into the palace, so I came to this teahouse to speak.

Mi Ji looked very close to Zai Teng, and he was joking in proficient Chinese. I sat down and smiled slightly. The two of them stopped talking immediately, and turned their heads to look at me together.

I smiled and said, "Mr. Mi Ji was also in Weihai last time? Why didn't I see you?"

"Oh, yes, Your Majesty, I just said a few words to this prince, Lord Li Zhongtang, Ding Junmen and our country's General Salman, but I did not have the blessing to meet Your Majesty." Mi Ji replied.

I smiled and looked at Zai Ting and said, "Ho ho, I haven't promoted you to your title yet. But you, a foreign friend, called me first. Well, if you do your business well, you can't escape, as a prince."

Zai Ting thanked him for his kindness, took a few steps back and asked Mi Ji to talk to me. Mi Ji looked like a kind-hearted person, but he was a little restrained when he saw me. I talked to him for a few words about this matter today, and Mi Ji didn't express his opinion, but said that he would write the article truthfully and send it back to the UK. I nodded and added, "You are old news, and you should have a sense of smell. In your opinion, Kasini is such a coincidence, but what's the name?"

"Haha, Your Majesty sees it clearly." Mi Ji nodded and replied, "As far as I see, although Japan has recently consolidated its military and reformed its national strength, I personally understand that the Japanese may not dare to be so arrogant and cause trouble in front of important government departments of your country. Your Majesty, please continue to take a look. If things are really as Your Majesty guessed, the actions of the Russians and the Japanese will not stop there."

"Yeah." I nodded. Actually, I had this doubt in my heart. The timing of Kasini's appearance was a coincidence. Maybe he was going to do something, but he was intimidated by Feng Guozhang's power, and the death of dozens of Japanese roninmen even destroyed his remaining will. Perhaps, this matter was provoked by them. Japan had already submitted a letter of protest, but there was no reason to come to the General Administration for causing trouble so soon, and it was obviously prepared. If it weren't for Zai Ying, a fearless person who was here, and only by the old scholar Li Hongzao, the Japanese gangster tricks would probably have caused much damage to China's face.

Hey, although Zaiying was a little reckless, he did a good job this time. He fired when he should, and was not afraid of danger. He confronted the Japanese alone, which was very decent. But this matter should not be repeated, and he couldn't develop this habit, so he would not be rewarded.

Mi Ji wanted to ask about the handling opinions of the Japanese prisoners, but I still sent them back to the answer by sending them back next year when the Navy visited Japan. These people cannot be easily released. They must always severely reduce their arrogance and don't always think that the Chinese are easy to bully.

After talking for a while, Mi Ji said goodbye and left. I sat for a while, asked Upanzai to go to Prince Chun's mansion to see the two old concubines, and talked to Zaifeng about Youlan again. I was so happy that he didn't feel anything particularly excited.

When I returned to the palace, I summoned Shanqi and Liu Guangdi, and told them to investigate the source of recent rumors and wrote a secret report to me. I summoned Old Man Weng and told him about what happened in front of the General Administration's office today, asking him to immediately write an edict to the generals and governors of the coastal areas to strictly prevent the Japanese from causing trouble. If there is any abnormal situation, there is no need to ask for instructions on the spot. In Liaodong, Kulun, Dihua, and Yili, all parts of the country, strengthen their vigilance, rectify defense, and strictly prevent the Russians from causing trouble. Weng's face looked a little ugly, but he still left.

I thought about it and felt uneasy, so I called Old Man Weng to wait outside the study, wrote a letter to Yuan Shikai, and handed it over to Old Man Weng, and ordered him to send this letter to Yuan Shikai together with the edict. I asked the General Administration to send a capable officer to severely rebuke Japan and handed it back to the expelled diplomats of Otoku and Komatsu. I asked him to go back and explain to Shang Dequan of the Ryukyu royal family to contact the descendants of the Ryukyu royal family in Tokyo, and act according to the situation, but should not act rashly. Old Man Weng heard it one by one and didn't speak, but asked happily: "Haven the emperor is determined?"

I looked at him for some reason. Since the rumors, the old man gradually became a little annoying in my eyes. I nodded and said, "Yes, the Japanese have been crazy and cannot find medicine to treat them. We had to prescribe him two doses of cooling and relieving fire to cool him down. After all, they are friendly neighbors with water..."

Weng looked very happy. I absolutely did not doubt that he was loyal to me, but I was afraid that he thought he was loyal to me, but he let others use it in something. He stared at him and looked at him for a few glances, sighed and said, "Master Weng, you..."

"emperor……"

"Recently, there have been many rumors in the capital. You are at the center, so you should not be careless." He raised his hand to stop him and said, "Just listen. Since I entered the throne, I have not treated people as Manchu and Han. You are a member of the Han army to lead the military aircraft. Do you know how great is this? Which military aircraft in my dynasty is not a royal relative, a prince or a noble? Now rumors are everywhere. According to me, one day this rumors will flow to your Master Weng."

Weng Tonghe looked at me in a daze, hesitated for a moment and said, "I have understood, does the emperor have any instructions?"

I was silent for a moment, finally shook my head, sighed secretly in my heart, waved my hand and said, "It's gone, go and do business." Weng Tonghe's back gradually faded away. I looked at this back that looked gradually old and sighed heavily.

Kou Liancai, who was beside him, saw it, gave him a bowl of breasts considerately, drank the warm milk, calmed down a lot, and sighed and said, "Little Kouzi, do you think Master Weng is a loyal minister? Or a treacherous minister?"

"I don't know, you are tired, please rest for a while. If the emperor is still upset tomorrow, it's better to go to the Tianqiao to hear about the storytelling. There are so many new things." Kou Liancai took the empty bowl with red eyes and put it down, and said considerately.

I nodded, stopped thinking about Old Man Weng, sat on the chair, picked up a bunch of memorials just delivered by the Military Affairs Office and started reading.

The first one was from Sheng Xuanhuai, Tianjin. He asked to open a branch in Beijing and Shandong, and Shanxi and local merchants of Qianhao, and asked me to consider issuing formal banknotes, with the reason being that it is convenient for exchange and also reduces the consumption of silver transportation in various places, etc. This post was only seen by the Military Affairs Office, "I have no such example, and it is extremely difficult to implement new coins. This has been the case in all generations. Does the governor know?"

This is a good thing, but there are many difficulties. Anti-counterfeiting is the top priority. After thinking about it, he raised his pen and said: The former Military Affairs Office has reviewed it again. Weng Tong and Lao Chengcheng planned the country. The president should carefully measure the difficulties and disadvantages. He should also send personnel to foreign countries to inspect the banknotes of various countries."

The next article is Li Bingheng's request to open a mechanical maintenance school to open a shipping maintenance agency in Weihai and Lushun to replace the past system of hiring foreign companies to repair the company. The Ministry of Revenue requested the Ministry of Revenue to allocate 14,000 taels of silver, or Shandong will raise the bank for the first time, and the taxes and funds will be retained in the following year. Weng Tonghe's instructions were "This is a big deal, but why do you need to open a school in Weihai and Lushun at the same time? Isn't the consumption of silver doubled? The Ministry of Revenue can allocate 4,000 taels of silver, choose a place to open a factory in Lushun, Weihai, and choose a skilled foreign staff and tie craftsman."

I am really amused and amazed. This old man doesn't understand at all. He has to pretend to make a clever reply, which is really embarrassing him. Damn, since that's the case, I have a serious matter for you. Aren't you talking about royal transformation? Use the way of a saint to warn the barbarians. OK, I will let you go to Japan to scold Hirobuki Ito and Mu Aozoku! If you can use the way of a saint to educate these Japanese people, I will let you go to the temple of Virtuous and the temple to make a feast!

Now the reply was submitted: The governor's request was made, and the Ministry of Revenue immediately allocated silver according to the number of reports. The governor should prepare well. In the future, all naval ships will need to be maintained every year, and the governor will be controlled by the governor. This Zhu Yuming made, and the navy's navy in Fujian and Guangdong should also follow the examples.

Then Zhang Zhidong asked to open an arsenal in Hanyang, imitating the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau to build guns and artillery. Taiwan Governor Tang Jingsong reported that Taiwan had encountered a disaster and asked for silver pensions. The above Weng was correct, but only sarcastic about his old rival Zhang Zhidong, it was inevitable, such as Zhang Jiantai had money to do business.

General Yiketang of Heilongjiang, there are more conflicts between fishermen in China and Russia. He asked for an order to send troops to protect the fishing fishermen. He also asked if he could use force if he clashed with the Russians? This reply was very appropriate, saying that if the enemy did not move, I would not move, and the enemy would move, and I would definitely move, so he would warn him to prevent the Russians from raising trouble.
