    Two updates a day, calling for monthly recommended tickets!

    It¡¯s evening, Marseille

    Xue Fucheng had been sitting in front of the milky white Western desk in the study for a long time. Seeing that the sky outside the window was getting dark, he reached out and turned on the magnolia-shaped Western desk lamp on the table.  The soft light instantly filled the entire table, and also reflected the six official-style book titles on the cover of the carefully bound notebook in front of him - "Yong'an Notes. Historical Materials", in the book  There is also a line of powerful regular small characters in the name - written by Xue Fucheng of Wuxi.

    After staring at the note for a long time, Xue Fucheng reached out his hand and slowly rubbed the slightly old cover of the note. There was a rare hint of worry on his delicate and elegant face.  After a while, he grabbed the Hu pen in the pen holder on the table as if he had made a lot of determination, took off the cap of the pen, quickly dipped it in the fragrant ink that had been ground on the inkstone, and then opened it again.  He picked up the cover of the note and quickly turned over the last few pages. After quietly browsing the words on the note, he thought about it again and then wrote in the remaining blank spaces under the words that had been written for many years.  Dragon Snake added another paragraph.

    After finishing these things, Xue Fucheng let out a long sigh of relief, then casually threw the Hu pen into the inkstone, without even closing the opened notes, he got up and left.

    The crescent moon gradually rose, and through the sparse shadows of trees outside the courtyard, the moonlight, as soft as gauze, fell into Xue Fucheng's study, but it happened to be reflected on the page on which he had just added some words.

    "Zeng Wenzhenggong's equipment is dignified. His face is like the full moon, and his beard is very majestic. It is almost like what Han Zi said: like high mountains, deep forests and giant valleys, dragons and tigers can change unexpectedly. I have seen no other giant in the contemporary era. Magistrate Zhang Lihan  He is good at looking at people. He has the eyes of a leprosy dragon. He sits upright and stares, spreads his claws and shaves his beard, like a leprosy dragon. However, his eyebrows are slightly lower, so he has worked more in his life and has less leisure.

    Wei Yi Bo Yuan Pu Shang Shou, his body and appearance are quite similar to Wenzheng, but his achievements are slightly inferior.

    Hefei Fu Xiangsu Yi Bo Li Gong, tall and tall.  He has a far-sighted vision, quick knowledge and sharp words, and has no city in his mind. People say he looks like a crane.

    Duke Hu Wenzhong"

    At the end of this article.  It is the few strokes that Xue Fucheng just added - "Ren Zhiming, his appearance is also elegant, and he is free from the dust. He has a fresh air, suave and curious, and is as cowardly as a Confucian. However, he talks lively and his eyes are piercing.  The sparkling light overflowing as he looked around was so intimidating that he seemed to be someone who was not willing to stay in the pool for a long time"

    ? Capital, Sanhai, Jingqingzhai

    It started to rain lightly at this time, and fog also appeared on Haizi.  The autumn wind, which has brought a bit of coolness, is wrapped in a haze-like drizzle.  Sometimes tight and sometimes slow, it ripples on the embankment next to Jingqingzhai.  In this slightly bleak atmosphere, a group of people meandered out of Jingqingzhai.  Walking in the middle of the crowd was an old woman in full dress, holding a flag on her head and stepping on the bottom of a flower plate.  Accompanying her was a thin young man. The rest of the people dispersed around these two people, and like stars holding the moon, they came to the dragon boat tied to the edge of Haizi before stopping one by one.  Down.

    "The pedals are slippery on rainy days, daddy, you'd better be careful." Looking at the pedal in front of him that seemed to be coated with a layer of oil beads, Guangxu frowned slightly, then stepped on it, then turned around and stretched out  Taking action, he respectfully helped the Empress Dowager Cixi onto the pedal, and then helped the Empress Dowager step by step, carefully descending along the pedal into the dragon boat.

    Li Lianying, who was holding the tray that Guangxu had brought and followed the two of them into the boat, waited until the mother and son were seated in the boat before waving to the eunuchs guarding the stern of the boat.  , they saw that the eunuch Lan Ling, who was the strongest among them, untied the cable and loosened the connection between the dragon boat and the shore. The other two eunuchs beside him shook the oars gently, and the dragon boat moved silently.  The boat started to move, and with the sound of oars and oars, it meandered along the calm North Sea to Qionghua Island on the opposite side.

    Guangxu, who was sitting upright in the middle cabin of the dragon boat, glanced outside the boat and saw a pool of dark blue autumn water, bubbly in the rain, swirling and sliding southward, while Haizi, which originally had a sense of vastness, was  In the mist and mist, there was a vast and boundless meaning.  The so-called feeling comes from touching the scenery. Being on the dragon boat, which is not as high as the world but not touching the ground, looking at the vague scenery outside the window, Guangxu felt that his mood was also extremely low for a while.

    From the moment she said she wanted to "retreat bravely from the rapids" before the dinner, until after the two of them had eaten, the Empress Dowager Cixi never mentioned the emperor's most important concern about solemn affairs, but only asked the emperor to add some clothes and follow her.  After the meal, we went boating on Haizi to eat.  It seems that all the enthusiasm is like the mist on the sea, half-illusory and half-real, but in the end it is just empty joy

    "Emperor" When Guangxu was still feeling nostalgic, the Empress Dowager Cixi who was sitting at the top finally spoke, but Guangxu seemed toThese gods were so careless that they rarely paid attention to the greetings of the Empress Dowager Cixi.

    The Empress Dowager Cixi raised her eyebrows slightly, and a hint of displeasure flashed across her face. She raised her voice and said, "Emperor!"

    "My son is here!" Guangxu suddenly froze, and then quickly turned towards the Empress Dowager Cixi. This time, he finally heard

    "What big thing is the emperor thinking about? That he can't even hear the greeting from me, an old woman?" Empress Dowager Cixi looked at the emperor sitting upright and asked with a half-smile.

    Guangxu's face immediately became paler. A gust of cool wind wrapped in rain came from the window awning and poured on his thin back. The emperor felt that his back suddenly became wet and cool.  But I can't tell whether it's cold sweat or autumn rain

    "To tell you my father, my son is thinking about a head-scratching political matter." After the initial panic, Guangxu quickly regained his composure - now that his distraction had been revealed to the Queen Mother,  Then she had to quickly find a reason that was justifiable to her!  Based on his seventeen years of experience living with the Empress Dowager Cixi.  If you wander away from her in front of her for the sake of learning or government affairs, most of them can still get over it

    "Oh?" Sure enough, upon hearing that Guangxu said that he was meditating on government affairs, most of the displeasure on Empress Dowager Cixi's face turned into mild surprise.  "What kind of difficult problem did the emperor encounter that he didn't even think about the family relationship between mother and son?"

    Hearing what the Empress Dowager Cixi said, Guangxu felt that his heart that was hanging in the air slowly dropped. Although the words were full of anger, the displeasure on the Empress Dowager Cixi's face had dissipated a lot.  .

    As the saying goes, one must strike while the iron is hot. Seeing that the Empress Dowager Cixi had believed that he had just been meditating on government affairs, Guangxu simply stood up from the wooden chair on the dragon boat. He first opened the tray that Li Lianying carried to the dragon boat.  Huang Lingzi, who was sitting on the table, then picked up the object placed on the tray.  Then he casually lifted the hem of his robe and knelt down in front of the Empress Dowager Cixi.

    "Dad, the little alarm clock you sent to your son from Li Shuda a few days ago has been repaired."  Guangxu said loudly, and at the same time, he sent the thing in his hand to the Empress Dowager Cixi - surprisingly it was the small gold-plated alarm clock that the Emperor met with Weng in the Yangxin Hall a few days ago and at the same time the Empress Dowager Cixi sent Li Lianying to send it.

    Empress Dowager Cixi raised her eyebrows, and the joy in her eyes flashed.  "Really?" She raised her hand to take the small alarm clock, looked at it, and said: "It's really repaired. Emperor, when you were a child, you liked silence and did not like to move. Your favorite thing to do on weekdays is to  I hide in my room and make these Western clocks I didn't expect that after more than ten years, I would become half a clockmaker."

    Hearing the Empress Dowager Cixi¡¯s teasing, Guangxu could only smile slightly awkwardly¡ªthe so-called ¡°broken¡± alarm clock was actually just artificially set a few hours faster!

    As for the meaning

    Guangxu thought for a moment.  Then he bowed to the Empress Dowager Cixi again.  He said loudly: "My son, thank you for your father's teachings." ¡ª¡ªSince it has become a duel, let's just talk openly.

    The golden nails on the hands of the Empress Dowager Cixi that were gently scratching the gold-plated shell of the alarm clock suddenly stopped - "Teaching?".  She looked at Guangxu in surprise, "I just asked you to help my old lady set the clock. What kind of teachings are there?"

    "Returning to my father, my father taught his son three things a few months ago - remembering dates, selecting talents, and making decisions." Seeing that the Empress Dowager Cixi was pretending to be confused, Guangxu became even more bold.  He said, "A few days ago, when my son was discussing with the military how to deal with the murder of Wen Tingshi, his father asked Li Shuda to send this alarm clock. In fact, it was to remind his son to remember the date and never take matters into his own hands"

    Guangxu glanced at the expression of the Empress Dowager Cixi as he spoke. Seeing that the Empress Dowager Cixi was listening very seriously, and there was even a slight smile on her lips, he was completely relieved: "So my son put the case aside at that time.  After thinking about it for the past few days, I roughly came up with an idea, but I still don¡¯t know if it¡¯s suitable, so today when I was boating with my dad, I got distracted for a while"

    "Emperor, please get up first." After hearing Guangxu's words, the expression on the Empress Dowager Cixi's face was much gentler than before. She stretched out her hand and lifted Guangxu up from the ground, and looked at him up and down.  He smiled and said: "The emperor can be so diligent in political affairs and know how to advance and retreat. It's too late for my old lady to be happy, so how can I blame you?"

    "But it's my son's fault for disturbing his father's pleasure in visiting the lake." Guangxu looked ashamed and walked down the slope to the donkey's path.

    "Sit down first." Cixi said in a gentle tone. She stretched out her hand and pointed at the wooden chair. After Guangxu sat down as instructed,, then continued: "Don't worry about these trivial matters. We are from the Tian family, so naturally we are different from ordinary people. However, the emperor" She changed the subject and suddenly asked: "What are you going to do with Wen?"  What about Tingshi¡¯s suicide?¡±

    "To tell you my father, my son has asked the Prime Minister's Office to confer a second-class and third-class Double Dragon Star, and has had the Prime Minister, King and Minister Qing Wang use the seal." After hearing Cixi's question, Guangxu bowed first  He then continued in a clear voice: "The decree to confer a second-level and third-level double dragon treasure star to Ren has been drafted by the Military Aircraft Department. If his father thinks it is feasible, his son will ask the Military Aircraft Department to report this decree by water and telegraph tomorrow.  Send it to Xue Fucheng, who will issue an edict to Ren, but you still have to wait until Ren returns to get these twin dragon stars."

    "The sea route is far away, and the Double Dragon Star is not like a telegraph that can travel thousands of miles in a day" Empress Dowager Cixi pondered and nodded, "The way you deal with it is still acceptable."

    "Son, thank you for your father" After hearing the praise from the Empress Dowager Cixi, a faint blush appeared on Guangxu's pale and bloodless face. He calmed down a little and continued: "Besides,  My son recently planned to issue a decree to commend several Beiyang officials"

    "Wait a minute!" Empress Dowager Cixi suddenly raised her hand to interrupt Guangxu. She raised her head in surprise and asked, "Is this the Double Dragon Star as the reward for Ren?"

    "That's exactly what it means to kiss my father." Guangxu's face suddenly became solemn. After hesitating for a moment, he continued: "Ren is now the director of the Tianjin Naval Academy with the title of Minister of the Ministry of War. If he joins  The title can only be the right governor of the Metropolitan Procuratorateand these second- and third-class Double Dragon Treasure Stars are used by the imperial court to reward high-ranking officials such as first-class counselors, consuls-general, military officials, and chief instructors of various countries.  To Ren, I also reward the others for their first contribution to the ship purchase"

    "With this merit, not to mention being the right governor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, even the honorary title of Minister of the Ministry of War, I think it is worthy of it." Empress Dowager Cixi's face sank into the water in an instant, and she raised her eyes.  Looking at Guangxu, he said coldly: "Emperor, let me ask you, did you come up with this idea of ??using a Treasure Star Medal to fool people, or did your Master Weng come up with it?"

    "Emperor, please don't kneel yet!" Seeing that Guangxu was about to lift his robe and kneel down again, Empress Dowager Cixi immediately showed a little disgust on her face, "You are the king of a country, why do you always kneel here and there like this?"

    It seemed that her words were too harsh. After seeing Guangxu sitting back with a pale face, Empress Dowager Cixi suppressed the inexplicable annoyance in her heart and said as gently as possible: "Emperor, tell me the truth, who came up with this idea?"

    "Go back to my father." Guangxu's face was as white as paper, but he still insisted: "The idea of ??praising Ren was decided by his son, and the idea of ??awarding the Double Dragon Star was also discussed by his son and Master Weng. To blame, I have to blame him.  son¡­¡­"

    "You don't have to cover up for him!" Empress Dowager Cixi bit her lower lip with her teeth and sneered: "I have said it before - your master is good in writing and knowledge, but the only difference is in his mind and knowledge.  Let the deputy envoy criticize the chief envoy, and then attack him with the Qing Dynasty's Qing Dynasty. This trick was used by Li Hongzao on Guo Songtao more than ten years ago. Your master is also dozens of years old, and he still picks up people's wisdom! The result is still  He is not asking for humiliation, but he wants the court to help him!"

    "Dad" Guangxu murmured for a moment, and then he got the courage from nowhere. He had the courage to look Cixi directly in the eyes and retorted: "Wen Tingshi's death must have been done by Ren Lingyu. Although  For the long-term plan, the imperial court still needs to treat him with humiliation, but after all, it is a last resort. His biological father wants his son to give Ren a higher rank, and this matter my son doesn't understand!"

    "Emperor!" Seeing Guangxu contradicting her like this, Empress Dowager Cixi was not angry but happy. She looked at Guangxu again as if she didn't know him. After a moment, she asked softly: "No matter how big the Wen Ting-style case is,  Can it be bigger than the Ma Xinyi case in Liangjiang in the 9th year of Tongzhi's reign?"
