late Qing Dynasty arrest

A hilarious banquet lasted until three o'clock in the afternoon, before all officials and more than 200 Jinshi left the Forbidden City.Tomorrow Lu Runxiang, Tan Zongjun, and Li Guolou will be parading through the streets to meet their mentor Li Hongzao.

Li Guolou will have a wedding tomorrow night, so many things to do, he wants to go home to celebrate but he can't refuse Tan Zongjun's kind invitation, and plans to go to Fengzeyuan for a drink with a group of Jinshi.Looking at the majestic Forbidden City behind him, Li Guolou was full of emotions. The center of power finally opened a door for him. The title of "Hanlin Academy Editing" is a seventh-rank official. From now on, he can pretend to be a teacher wherever he goes, Tao Li The day when the world is full is just around the corner.

The west square is filled with the official sedan chairs and carriages of hundreds of officials, and there is also a long queue of sedan chairs and carriages to pick up Jinshi.Li Guolou searched and finally saw Zhen Yuhuan's carriage.

"Uncle Dumb, thank you for your hard work, go to Fengze Garden first." Li Guolou greeted Uncle Dumb, the groom, and opened the car door.

Sitting in the carriage, Chen Xiangfang and Zhen Yuhuan looked at Li Guolou, and Chen Xiangfang asked anxiously, "Xiaolou, how are you doing?"

Li Guolou said complacently: "I'm going to Fengze Garden to drink celebration wine, and you will call me Tanhualang in the future." After speaking, Li Guolou excitedly kissed Chen Xiangfang on the cheek, and hugged Zhen Yuhuan in his arms again , the three huddled together tenderly, and the carriage went straight to Fengze Garden.

Zhen Yuhuan's eyes glowed with gold, and he said excitedly, "Great, great! I knew my house was the best. What does Prince Gong say?"

Li Guolou smiled and said: "Didn't say anything? The Qionglin Banquet was all about the scene, and my uncle didn't say anything, there were too many people. Little baby, what do you think of sending Prince Gong?" One hand had already penetrated into Zhen Yuhuan's underwear, skillfully untied the slipknot on the back of the apron, and kneaded her plump breasts.The mouth kissed Chen Xiangfang, and one person manipulated two grandmas. Li Guolou was very familiar with this trick.

Zhen Yuhuan twisted her waist comfortably, and said softly: "Xiaolou, don't give heavy gifts yet, just make sense, I'll go and find out what Guiziliu has to say, maybe he also wants to take a stake in our "Please Come to the Bank". Although Guiziliu didn’t say it clearly, and never did business with others, he owns a copper mine business. But you are different. Guiziliu is very interested in the bank you founded. This time, he specifically asked about my activities in Tianjin. You know ?"

Li Guolou asked: "Does Devil Six know that Li Jingyi owns 10% of our bank's shares?"

Zhen Yuhuan smiled and said: "It goes without saying that there is nothing in the world that can be hidden from Guizi Liu. He is not as easy to deceive as the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces, and the Qingping Society is not run by my family. Hey;;;;;; Xiaolou, You are necrotic, and I am emotional."

Li Guolou calmed down, Fengze Garden was too close to mess around, so he stretched out his hand, hugged Zhen Yuhuan, kissed her little mouth again, and said: "Little baby, wait for me to come home, I love you tonight , I called the coachman to pick me up at about 07:30. If Guizi Liu is willing to take the bait, we will be able to earn 1000 million taels of silver next year. Anyway, I have never thought of eating alone, but you have to guard against Guizi Liu and let him You see, he started his own bank and we can't compete with him."

Zhen Yuhuan nodded with a smile. She is such a shrewd person, if she doesn't see a rabbit or a hawk, how can she tell all her old stories.Chen Xiangfang said softly: "Xiaolou, I want to hug you too, Grandma Seven, you can let me after you've had your fill."

Sitting in Li Guolou's arms, Chen Xiangfang asked ecstatically, "Grandma Seven, how many shares do you think the Guizi Liuhui will take? If I continue to increase shares like this, won't I become a part-time worker for others?"

Zhen Yuhuan was also a little worried, and said: "Xiaolou, even if Guizi Liu is not greedy, he needs at least 15% of the shares. I think it's like what the grandma said, we are getting smaller and smaller, and in the end there is no meat to eat. I can have soup now."

Li Guolou replied: "You are right. The bank will be nationalized sooner or later. We can only eat a few mouthfuls of fat at the beginning when we create a historical precedent. Later, it will become national assets. Our family can hold 10% of the shares. We are about to burn incense to the Emperor Tongzhi, and it is possible that we will not get 5%. We annex bank accounts and banks now, and the National Bank will annex us in the future. The reason is the same. We make money, and we still have to invest in industry in the future , This is also what the country wants us to do, like the investment in Yadong Textile Factory, that is the fundamental. So I am not greedy, just like I have nine of your grandmas enough, I don’t look at any beautiful women One glance."

When the carriage arrived at Fengze Garden, Chen Xiangfang said, "Xiaolou, you have to get up early tomorrow, so don't drink too much."

Li Guolou waved goodbye and said, "Don't party at home, we're going to have a wedding tomorrow, so go to bed early to recharge your spirits."

The carriage turned around and drove towards Dengcao Hutong. Zhen Yuhuan leaned in Chen Xiangfang's arms and said, "The small building has finally succeeded. Grandma, you have to work hard. Don't let the truth be alone, and give birth to a son soon."

Chen Xiangfang nodded and said: "I know, when we go to church tomorrow morning, God will give me a son. I'm not greedy, one son is enough, and he must be as smart and sensible as his sister."

Zhen Yuhuan stroked her belly and said, "I also hope to have a boy."

Chen Xiangfang glanced at her, and joked, "Grandma Seven, don't be like the son of Guizi Liu, who makes trouble and fools around in romantic places all day long."

"Ah, you know that too." Zhen Yuhuan sat up and looked at Chen Xiangfang in surprise. Zaicheng, the eldest son of Prince Gong Yixin, is a playboy, but this kind of thing is a state secret, even if Zaicheng goes in and out of romantic places. With a pseudonym, outsiders will not know.

"Hmph!" Chen Xiangfang said proudly: "Grandma Seven, you need to know what I do. The Empress Dowager Cixi is Lafayette, so it's easy to fool me. I'm Miss Xiaofang from the Tianzi Gang. Is there any news about it? Let's talk about you Let me tell you, can a dude like Zai Cheng keep his mouth shut?"

"Oh;;;;;; that's true, I will introduce some friends to you in the future, and they will help you. The affairs of your Tianzihao will be easy to handle, and no one on the Baidao will trouble you."

"What about the Ministry of Internal Affairs?" Chen Xiangfang already knew that there were a group of spies in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Although Tian Zihao did not rule over the underworld in the capital, the secret agents of the Ministry of Internal Affairs would always know about receiving protection fees from the underworld.

"Don't worry, grandma, hasn't Xiaolou already started making friends with eunuchs? Let him make arrangements, and the water will not leak. Even the Empress Dowager Cixi will drink our family's footwashing water." Zhen Yuhuan smiled wickedly, as if seeing Devil Liu drinking Cixi Empress Dowager's foot bath.She got rid of her obsession with Prince Gong Yixin, and threw herself into Li Guolou's embrace with all her heart.

"Well;;;;;;" Chen Xiangfang glanced at Zhen Yuhuan, with a look of approval on her face. This is her "little sister", and everyone must follow her instructions. The eldest grandma will sit in her seat, and the other grandmas can only pat her. For the fart.

In the Chuxiu Palace of the Forbidden City, the Empress Dowager Cixi bathed in a steam-filled bathroom. The bath inside was 4.55 meters long, 2.9 meters wide and 1.4 meters deep.The pool wall is made of ten huge stones that have been processed and stitched together, and a reservoir is adjacent to it.When bathing, warm water pours into the reservoir from the cracks in the stone. When it is almost full, a gate on the south wall is opened, and the water flows into the bath through the dark groove.The design of this bathtub can be described as exquisite and unique, especially when Cixi took a bath.

Empress Dowager Cixi took a bath sitting in a wide, low chair with four legs, with dragons climbing on each leg.There are two bucket-shaped three-foot-long wooden trays inlaid with silver for Cixi's bath water. One is used for washing the upper body and the other is used for washing the lower body. They are never mixed.There is a wooden shelf next to it, which is used to store bath towels, and there are always a hundred of them.Each towel is embroidered with golden dragons in yellow silk thread, and each stack has a certain posture: some are raising their heads, some are looking back at the moon, some are playing with beads, and some are spraying water.The water in the bathtub should always be kept clean. After soaking the towel, take it out and never return it to the basin to fill it with water.Towels are used up and thrown away. Even though dozens of towels are used after washing the upper body, the water is still clear.The water in the bathtub is scooped out at any time and added at any time to maintain a certain water temperature.The four maids who bathed Cixi were swift, orderly and silent.Gently and repeatedly wipe Cixi's chest, back, armpits, and arms to open the pores and relax the body.After wiping the soap, wipe off the soap suds on your body with a wet towel to avoid dry skin.Then use pure white silk cotton to soak in perfume, and evenly and lightly pat on the body, chest, bone seams, and spine grooves. These places tend to accumulate soap foam and make the skin itchy, so special attention must be paid.Finally, scoop up water again to wash your face, soak your hands, and use hot water instead of bathing, especially hot compresses on Cixi's forehead and cheeks, so that the traces of forehead wrinkles can be melted away.

"Does this palace look good?" Cixi made a coquettish hissing voice, as if she had returned to her age.Her face is slightly wider, her skin is smooth and smooth, and she is of Mongolian descent, but her figure still maintains the tenderness of a girl.Only when she thought of Prince Gong Yixin's kindness to her, did she regain her shy demeanor when she was a young girl Hanchun.

"Your Majesty, you are as beautiful as a fairy!" The four maids replied in unison, with expressions of approval on their faces.

"Well;;;;;; it's cheaper for the sixth master!" Cixi said complacently.

Cixi didn't wear clothes, but wrapped her whole body in a quilt of silk satin embroidered with nine golden dragons, and then the maid called two eunuchs to come in.Carried on the shoulders by the eunuch Li Lianying and Xiaode Zhang, she headed for the bedroom, where her beloved Prince Gong Yixin was waiting.From the day they entered the palace, the concubines in the palace have served the emperor in this way.

Because several concubines and court ladies hanged Emperor Jiajing to death with ropes in the Ming Dynasty (there was no success, the rope was tied into a dead knot, and Emperor Jiajing was not hanged to death.) So the emperor of the Qing Dynasty learned a lesson, women have to be naked to sleep The emperor, every empress and concubine were carried into the emperor's bedroom by two eunuchs. In Chuxiu Palace, only the emperor was replaced by Prince Gong Yixin.

Empress Dowager Ci'an knew about Prince Gong Yixin and Empress Dowager Cixi's secret reunion from the very beginning, but in order to regain the power of the two palaces, Empress Dowager Ci'an agreed with Empress Dowager Cixi's actions, and never said a single word from the beginning to the end. Turn a blind eye and close one eye, just pretend it never happened.

Alcohol is the vanguard. Yixin took advantage of the alcohol and took drugs, which made the Empress Dowager Cixi very upset. The two hugged each other and talked to each other. Many important court affairs were resolved on the bed of the two of them. .

The Qing Dynasty was able to wipe out the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the Nian Army, and regain its second spring, because at this time the Empress Dowager Cixi obeyed Prince Gong Yixin, and all the power in the court was in Yixin's hands.

During the conversation, I couldn't help talking from the lover's private room to today's palace examination during the day. Yixin hugged Cixi and said, "Xing'er, Chun'er is so funny, I made a side question, what about Xiang Yu and Napoleon, I think even his teacher Li Hongzao is also interested." I was so angry that I straightened my beard."

Cixi casually took a wet towel from the silver tray on the bedside table and wiped the sweat off Yixin's body. There was only this man in the world worthy of her service.Slightly sighed: "Sixth Master, didn't you see it? Chun'er is young and ignorant, and wants to burn everything, who is not good enough to imitate a failed hero. People who are only in their teens don't know the heights of heaven and earth, and want to toss We have worked so hard to accumulate family fortune, how can you tell me to rest assured that he will be in charge of everything?"

"Oh;;;;;;" Yixin thought about the exam questions given by Emperor Tongzhi Zaichun, but Cixi could see through them thoroughly. Sure enough, there was a malicious intention in a question, who is not good to imitate?Go learn from "Xiang Yu" and "Napoleon".Just want to be a hero, without considering the consequences.

"Well, Xing'er, what you said makes sense. If you don't do it like this, it will ruin the big things. Chun'er, you are still willing to listen to a few words from me, so hurry up and talk to him in the study, let him know the importance of keeping a low profile .I don’t know which teacher taught it, how could I have such an idea?”

Cixi put the towel back on the silver tray, turned around and hugged Yixin again, and said, "Well, I thought so too, Sixth Master, I'm entirely up to you to take care of my family's affairs."

Yi Xin smiled and said: "For you, I have taken on all the crimes, and I don't even talk about brotherhood. Isn't it because of you, Xing'er?"

"Hey;;;;;; Xing'er only has you in her heart." Cixi slipped into Yixin's arms, making people feel pitiful like a small bird.

Yi Xin felt comfortable hearing that, knowing that Cixi was the most obedient at this time, she took advantage of the situation to cut into the topic, and said with a sweet smile: "Today, Li Guolou, the Tanhualang you fell in love with, gave me eleven old records. I brought them. Some of them were dismissed by me, and some of them still hit our country's current problems. You can take a look at it tomorrow, and I will discuss it with you the day after tomorrow. This kid is not peaceful, and he gave his uncle two old ones, which are scary I dare not tell you about my propositions. After you have finished reading these eleven articles and have the bottom line, I will tell you again. You should first have an understanding of Li Guolou’s propositions. Not like us."

"Well, my lord, hurry up and go to bed, you have to leave tomorrow morning, Xing'er was tortured by you this time, the sixth master is necrotic. Hey;;;;;" Cixi said to go to bed early, but stretched out one hand Go down and start teasing Yixin.Women are all the same, when you say no, you want it!

It took a while for a stick of incense, but seeing Yixin's ambition revived and starting a new round of journey, there was a gasp in the room.

Outside the door, Li Lianying and Xiao De were leaning against the door panel, eavesdropping on the sound, winking and making obscene gestures in a strange tone.This is the privilege of close eunuchs, they like to listen to their master's call.
