    "Returning to the Empress Dowager, I will ask for this disciple's post after he fulfills his promise to defeat the Japanese." Wen Xiang replied respectfully, "That day will be my big test for him." "  Prime Minister Wen Xiang has been really tired these days," Empress Dowager Cixi said warmly when she saw the haggard look on Wen Xiang's face.  "As long as you don't miss the state affairs, it will be fine." Wen Xiang replied, "It is my duty for the old minister to suffer some hardships." Hearing Wen Xiang's answer, Empress Dowager Ci'an couldn't help but secretly sigh in her heart: "The most loyal and diligent  It's an old minister!" "Huang Tifang made vicious remarks to slander Lin Yizhe, how should he be punished?" Empress Dowager Cixi asked.  "The matter of Huang Tifang needs to be considered in the long term." Prince Gong said, "Don't act on the spur of the moment." "What Liu Ye means is that there is someone behind Huang Tifang?" Empress Dowager Ci'an and Empress Dowager Cixi looked at each other,  asked.  "Li Hongzao is Huang Tifang's teacher. Could it be said that he gave Huang Tifang the instructions?" Empress Dowager Ci'an said, frowning.  "Back to the Empress Dowager, there may or may not be someone behind Huang Tifang. He may have made his own decisions." Prince Gong said, "And Huang Tifang's excerpt is very cleverly written. He wants to cure him.  It is indeed not easy to commit a crime. Just a warning has no effect as a warning. "Although Prince Gong did not say clearly whether there was someone behind Huang Tifang, his answer still made the two empress dowagers suspicious.  .  "If we were all like Huang Tifang, would there be anyone in the Qing Dynasty who dared to do anything?" Empress Dowager Ci'an said decisively, "This kind of slander must not last long!" "Wen Xiang thinks. What should be done about this matter?  What should I do?" asked Empress Dowager Cixi.  "Back to the Queen Mother. In my opinion, this matter should not be too involved. Huang Tifang must be dealt with strictly, but there is no need to rush it. I estimate that as soon as Huang Tifang's excerpts are copied in the palace, there will be people who follow suit, and there will be people who follow suit.  There may also be people who use this to stir up trouble and obstruct foreign affairs. If one or two of them are chosen to be responsible for their crimes, it will serve as a warning." Wen Xiang said.  "What Prime Minister Wen said is indeed a mature way to run a country." Empress Dowager Ci'an nodded and said, "Then just do what Prime Minister Wen said." "I accept the order." "Sixth Master, Prime Minister Wen. You are here today.  I'm exhausted from this matter, so let's go down now," said Empress Dowager Cixi.  Prince Gong and Wen Xiang resigned and left.  Perhaps after working for a long time, the Empress Dowager Cixi and the Empress Dowager Ci'an also felt a little tired. The Empress Dowager Ci'an drove back to her "Jixi Hall", while the Empress Dowager Cixi went to the Yage to rest.  It may be due to the fatigue and anxiety of the past few days.  After Wen Xiang returned to the mansion, he felt dizzy and lay down on the bed. The housekeeper was shocked when he saw this, just like last time.  The first thing he did was to hurriedly invite Lin Yizhe.  Lin Yizhe was also shocked when he learned the news.  He packed up some commonly used first-aid drugs and medical equipment, took a few people with him, and hurried over with the housekeeper.  At this time, Lin Yizhe did not know that the crisis that Huang Tifang caused for him had not completely passed, and a new crisis was quietly coming.  It was already evening, and a carriage was traveling slowly on a deserted dirt road in the direction from Beijing to Tongzhou.  The afterglow of the red sun gradually dimmed on the horizon, and the cool summer wind passed through the trees on the roadside, causing a "crash" sound.  Sweat slowly trickled down the old coachman's criss-crossed wrinkles. He cracked his whip vigorously, but the two old horses pulling the coach ignored him at all and continued to toss forward slowly.  We were still at least half way away from the village where we were staying, and the old coachman began to feel uneasy.  He whipped the whip again, this time hitting the horse's butt firmly, causing the horse to rush forward desperately in pain, and the wheels of the cart made a louder noise under the heavy load.  The people in the car felt the change in speed. A pot-bellied businessman stuck his head out and frowned at the sky while asking: "Che boss, how long will it take to arrive?" The old coachman wiped his sweat and replied: "It's almost there.  "We're almost there." The businessman grunted dissatisfiedly and then retreated into the car.  The businessman¡¯s wife put a large package on her lap and looked at her husband with questioning eyes. The latter said nothing with a cold face.  If this woman hadn't been heartbroken for a few dollars, she should have joined the escort team to the capital.  Nowadays, sleeping rough in the wilderness is a trivial matter, and encountering bandits is no joke.  The two foreigners who looked like missionaries were not affected at all. They were uncle and nephew. They chatted with their fellow passengers in northern Mandarin along the way.  Since the signing of the "Beijing Treaty", the activities of missionaries have become significantly more frequent, especially in the Zhili area, where missionaries can often be seen on official roads.  The older missionary lifted up the car curtain and looked outside, "We've just arrived at Bali Bridge. Why can't we reach the village tonight?"?Looks like we are going to sleep in the wild.  " The corners of the fat businessman's eyes twitched unconsciously. The young missionary said anxiously: "How can this be done?  I heard that the road has been very uneven recently.  "No one spoke. There was a look of fear on the woman's face, and she hugged the package tightly and huddled behind her husband. There was no movement in the car for a while, and only the sound of horse hooves outside and the shouts of the old coachman were heard. Several other people in the car  The merchants looked at the uneasy expressions of the two foreigners with some curiosity. The young missionary seemed to want to prove his courage. The older missionary felt that his nephew was just like him when he was young. They were indeed a family.  Ah. He didn't really expect to encounter robbers. There were things he regarded as treasures in the luggage, and the people in front of him looked like they needed protection. The sound of horse hooves from behind the car made everyone.  There was a moment of nervousness, and the woman almost looked like she was crying. The fat flesh on the businessman's face trembled intermittently, and the young man murmured to himself with a pale face. The old coachman glanced secretly, and saw three riders in black.  He followed the car slowly. The driver suddenly whistled and waved the whip in his hand. The two old horses seemed to understand that they were in danger, and they actually galloped with their hooves flying. After a while, the rider's figure disappeared.  In the dusk, everyone except the old coachman breathed a sigh of relief. The elderly missionary poured out the sweet wine from his bag and shared it with everyone. Even the businessman¡¯s wife suddenly turned red.  "What a waste of good wine.  "Everyone suddenly heard the words coming from the luggage pile behind, and they were all shocked. A slender figure came out from behind a large box. He snatched the leather bag from the missionary's hand, tilted his neck and poured the wine into his mouth.  . The other person was wearing a bloated leather robe, a turban on his head, and was dirty. Although the other person looked like a missionary, the young missionary was still angry at his rudeness, but his uncle stopped him from preaching.  The scholar drank up the wine in his wine bag and wiped his mouth with unsatisfied thoughts: "This wine only tastes good when it is warmed.  "The older missionary noticed the silver cross on the other person's chest and immediately said respectfully: "If you want to drink.  I still have some here. Let's warm up a jug of wine when we get to the accommodation.  " The other party looked at it carefully, and suddenly laughed in a hoarse voice: "God bless, it turns out we are a family.  " The young missionary suddenly heard the other party say "family", and then he realized that the old man with a flat face and a dirty face was actually a senior Jesuit priest. "My name is Zhu.  No, pizza from Italy.  "The other party introduced himself. Several businessmen in the car looked at each other at a loss. The woman smelled the smell of this man. She couldn't help but frowned. Her husband was surprised to find that the missionary was dirty.  The clothing turned out to be an extremely expensive golden mouse skin robe. The young man complained to the driver dissatisfiedly: "Didn't I say it was only for five people?  No wonder we walked so slowly.  " Juno glared at him: "I paid.  " During the commotion, Juno asked suspiciously: "Why are there so many people walking at night tonight?  "Everyone was startled again. After they quieted down, they heard the sound of horse hooves behind the car. Juno jumped out of the car and sat next to the old coachman. "I told you not to come out.  "The old guy complained. Juno grinned and said, "I can't stand the smell of alcohol.  "While he was talking, a black horse passed by the car. The knight's cloak and hood completely covered his body. "Strange, this figure from behind looks so familiar.  Juno scratched his head and suddenly said loudly: "Hey, it's in front."  "The rider turned around and glanced at Juno. The dismounted horse did not stop for a moment, and disappeared on the mountain road ahead. In the silent night, only the carriage was left stumbling forward. "No way.  I must spend the night on the road.  "The old coachman looked up at the rising moon. At this time, a whistle came from nowhere, and a woman's scream immediately came from inside the coach. The first arrow shot through the canvas shed and nailed it to the wooden frame. "The bandit's  There were twenty-three people in the cavalry, appearing and disappearing like ghosts behind the carriage. Empress Dowager Ci'an said categorically, "Such slander.  The wind must not last long!  " "Wen Xiang thinks, what should be done about this matter?  "The Empress Dowager Cixi asked. "Returning to the Empress Dowager, in my opinion, this matter should not be too involved. Huang Tifang must be dealt with strictly, but there is no need to rush. I estimate that Huang Tifang's excerpts will be copied as soon as they are copied in the residence.  Those who follow the trend, and there may also be people in the public opinion who use this to stir up trouble and obstruct Westernization.  At that time, one or two of the leaders will be chosen and their crimes will be rectified, which will serve as a warning to others.  "Wen Xiang said. "What Wen Xiang said is indeed a mature way to build a country.  "Empress Dowager Ci'an nodded and said, "Then take care of it.Just do as the Prime Minister says.  " "I accept the decree.  " "Sixth Master, Minister Wen, you are very tired from doing this today, so go down now.  "The Empress Dowager Cixi said. Prince Gong and Wen Xiang resigned. Maybe they had been busy for a long time. The Empress Dowager Cixi and the Empress Dowager Ci'an also felt a little tired. The Empress Dowager Ci'an drove back to her "Jixi Hall". The Empress Dowager Cixi  Then he went to Yage to rest. Maybe it was because of the fatigue and anxiety of the past few days. After Wen Xiang returned to the mansion, he felt dizzy and lay down on the bed. The housekeeper was shocked when he saw this. Just like last time, the first thing he did was  He hurriedly went to invite Lin Yizhe. Lin Yizhe was shocked when he heard the news. He packed up some common emergency medicine and medical equipment, took a few people, and hurried over with the housekeeper.  At that time, Lin Yizhe didn't know that the crisis Huang Tifang had caused for him had not completely passed. A new crisis was coming quietly. It was already evening, and a carriage was driving toward Tongzhou from Beijing.  We were walking slowly on the untouched dirt road. The afterglow of the red sun gradually dimmed in the sky, and the cool summer wind made a sound of "sweat" flowing along the crisscrossing wrinkles of the old coachman.  Then, he cracked his whip vigorously. The two old horses pulling the cart ignored him and continued to toss forward slowly. They were still at least half way away from the village where they were staying, and the old cart driver began to feel uneasy.  The whip was whipped again, this time hitting the horse's butt firmly. The horse was hurt and tried to rush forward, and the wheels of the cart made a louder sound due to the heavy load. The people in the car felt the change of speed. A businessman with a big belly.  He stuck his head out and frowned at the sky while asking: "Boss Che.  How long until it arrives?  The old coachman wiped his sweat and replied: "It's almost there. It's almost there."  "The businessman grunted in dissatisfaction, and then retracted into the car.
