late Qing Dynasty arrest

Li Guolou ate some casual dinner, changed into a sea-blue satin robe, a bluestone-colored silk mandarin jacket, and a cap, and was going to a night party to celebrate the prince.When you come to Prince Qing's Mansion, you first hold the notebook and the door bag, and go to the gate room to meet the gatekeeper, and then the gatekeeper tells you to go in.After these procedures, the word "please" was quickly shouted inside, and there was a lot of shouting, the prince of the deep house compound was very impressive.

Li Guolou first pulled the skirt of his clothes, then dusted off the dust, and then stepped into Prince Qing's mansion.Someone in the palace led the way, and after passing through three corridors, he saw the figure of Prince Qing Yikuang in the brightly lit reception room.

When Li Guolou saw Prince Qing standing at the door looking at him, he immediately stepped forward, knelt down on his knees, and said: "My slave, Li Guolou, is here to greet the prince." The prince kowtowed three times.

When Prince Qing saw Li Guolou came down from the court, he was the first to visit his mansion, and even performed the gift of a slave meeting his master, he couldn't help but feel overjoyed, and he had a high opinion of Li Guolou.Stepping out of the threshold of the living room, laughing, he helped Li Guolou up with both hands, and said: "Guolou, please get up quickly. This king heard your name a long time ago, and it is like thunder. I recommended you three days ago, and I specially prepared a Make a good pot of tea, please talk in the room."

Li Guolou got up, blushing, and said with a smile: "I am very grateful to the lord, and I am here to ask for a cup of good tea. You should treat me first, lord."

The two of them, one in front of the other, are like a living room, watching tea and sitting down, and the fragrance of tea is refreshing.Prince Qing stroked his thick mustache and said with a smile, "Have you had dinner at Guolou?"

Li Guolou replied: "Responding to my lord's words, I have eaten early at home, and I have already eaten. I just want to thank my lord for my advice before my lord rests. The chief student of Qingzhong University is such an important position. Doing it, this made the lower officials very grateful, but also sincere and fearful, afraid that they would not be able to bear this heavy burden, and would not be able to eat when they returned home. Only Qingzhong University was in their minds, so I specially wrote a note, and asked the prince to read it .”

Li Guolou pulled out his sleeve and took out the notebook, which was actually an old note about Qingzhong University, but it contained a gift list and several silver tickets, totaling 5 taels of silver, plus the items on the gift list, Worth more than 7 taels of silver.

Prince Qing was both surprised and delighted. What surprised Li Guolou to write down the twelve old articles of Tsingzhong University so quickly, needless to say, he was happy, the number was much higher than what he thought in his mind, this is the first. He will visit him once, and he will visit him at least once a year during the Chinese New Year, and once again to pay his respects to his birthday. He still has so many children.

Prince Qing symbolically pushed the bank note and the gift slip away, and said, "You can't be so polite."

Li Guolou said seriously: "The business of the Xiaguan's family has not been opened yet, and he can't share much state affairs for the prince. In the future, the official will definitely relieve the prince's worries. I also ask the prince to watch the performance of the prince. This is a trivial matter. Quan is a slave to show my heart to the prince."

Prince Qing smiled, put the banknotes and gift slips together in the notebook, without even looking at the manuscript written by Li Guolou racking his brains two days ago, and handed the notebook to a side Fujin, but seeing this The famous and magnificent Ce Fujin smiled at Li Guolou and left in a hurry.

"Well, Guolou is worthy of being Li Shaobao's chief disciple. He is really good at talking. Tomorrow, when the king enters the palace to meet the Queen Mother, he will put Qingzhong University on the agenda." Of course, Prince Qing knows that he is now handling Li Guolou's affairs There is only "Tsingzhong University". If Qingzhong University cannot be established, what does Li Guolou have to do with him?

After hearing this, Li Guolou hurriedly expressed his opinion: "Thank you, my lord, for being so open-minded and willing to be the first in the world. Countless Qing students are looking forward to this day, just like chicks waiting to be fed, waiting for their mother to return to the nest. Great achievements like the lord , should follow the example of Confucius, and at the main entrance of Qingzhong University, there should be an eight-foot-high statue of the prince carved from white marble, surrounded by green and evergreen flower beds, and caring for the university students day and night. Let the world always remember the prince's dedication to The contribution of the Qing Dynasty, firmly remember how the founder of Qingzhong University stood up in times of crisis in the Qing Dynasty. The prince said the most reasonable words, "The Qing Dynasty needs to establish a university, and education can revitalize the country. Work hard to learn cultural knowledge, The Qing Dynasty will surely prosper.' I admire you so much, and I will take this as my motto for the rest of my life." After speaking, Li Guolou stood up, bowed to the bottom, and once again thanked Prince Qing for creating a new situation for the Qing Dynasty.

Prince Qing looked at Li Guolou carefully, and was stunned for a while. When did he say these words?But it was so comfortable to hear, and he suddenly seemed to see this beautiful scenery unfolding in front of him, he laughed and said: "Okay! Guolou has this kind of heart, this king will definitely help you. I heard that Guolou has a lot of research on collections. This king has collected some antiques, but it is a pity that the Jade Buddha is missing."

Li Guolou's forehead was dripping with cold sweat. He only had one Jade Buddha, which he bought from a jade merchant named Zheng Zizi (Zheng Yuanchang), who was in business with his family.It has been given to my mentor Li Hongzao.How many years would it take for this piece of jade to be transported from Siam (Thailand) to the capital, and then carved into a jade Buddha?It is not something that can be accomplished in a year or a half.

"My lord, I will try my best to do it, but this is to find a huge and high-quality emerald from Siam, and then transport it to the capital at a high price, and then carefully polish it by jade craftsmen. Look at it;;;;; It will take at least three or four years." Li Guolou couldn't go on, he never expected that a Jade Buddha would cause Prince Qing to covet him.

Prince Qing looked at Li Guolou's embarrassed expression, and he should have not lied to him. There is no reason for treasures to bloom everywhere, and rare treasures are considered treasures.

"Well;;;;; I won't make it difficult for you, so it will be three years. Don't forget about the three-year agreement. I think that in three years, a modern Qingzhong University will also welcome the first batch of students. Lou, do you think so?" Prince Qing habitually raised his hand and stroked his beard, and looked at Li Guolou with a smile, already treating Li Guolou as his own slave.

Li Guolou hurriedly said: "My lord is really considerate of the difficulties of my subordinates. I must do my job beautifully. I still have one thing I don't know. Ask the lord for advice. How much communication expenses will be required to build Qingzhong University? I hope the lord Express."

Prince Qing sighed and said: "It's hard to be a human being. This king can't enter the palace empty-handed. This king's idea is [-]%, of course [-]% of it will be perfect, and there will be no worries. Guolou, what do you think?"

Li Guolou scolded his mother in his heart, he was more ruthless than an eunuch, and a dead eunuch knew the truth about making money together.Prince Qing wants to monopolize [-]% of the money by himself, this kind of person is intolerable!She swore to herself: one day he will copy Prince Qing's mansion, if he can't do it, then it's fine.

"Zha! Why does the prince want a slave? The slave is to share the worries of the master. He knows how to do it." Li Guolou turned over and bowed, and acted as a slave again.At this time, he already had a rebellious mentality, and wanted to sweep away all unaccustomed officials like dust.As long as you give him an army, he will never do the stupid thing of disarming himself and disarming.

Prince Qing was in a good mood, and asked the maid to bring back Li Guolou's manuscript, and began to discuss with Li Guolou about the establishment of the "Qingzhong University".This made Li Guolou change his view of Prince Qing again, who is a hundred times smarter than him.Who says conservatives don't know how the world is changing?Prince Qing is not the empress dowager of the two palaces who stays at home. He has been to the Tianjin Concession and boarded foreign warships, and he has grasped far more western knowledge than he imagined.But why is thinking so conservative?

While Li Guolou nodded frequently, he looked at Prince Qing who spoke impassionedly.He suddenly understood that if Prince Qing hadn't been conservative in thinking, he would have been the leader of the conservative faction.The Empress Dowager Cixi would not use him. It is enough to have a "Ghost Six" above the court. How can there be a place for Prince Qing?Therefore, the "conservative" Prince Qing must jump out and oppose what the Westernization Movement "Ghost Six" supports.Prince Qing was scheming, and he understood the inner thoughts of the Empress Dowager Cixi. This person was not stubborn, but deliberately went against the Westernization Group for the sake of power in his hands.

Power can change a person's nature. Li Guolou was still sighing while sitting in the carriage. Prince Qing Yikuang and Prince Gong Yixin were both extremely intelligent people, but the paths they took were opposite.The country wasted time in the struggles of several factions, fighting repeatedly. Every time the Qing Dynasty rose vigorously, in exchange for another self-destruction of the Great Wall.The various sects in the court, who are constantly cutting things out and still chaotic, have their own scheming and strive for merit and fame.And he streaked across the starry sky like a shooting star, whether it will be bright for a moment and then disappear, or he can bring Daqing into a brand new world.

Li Guolou murmured to himself: "100 years is too long, just fight for the day and night. Although the mayflies shake the tree, they will never bow their heads. At worst, they will dig a big hole and die together." Thinking of this, Li Guolou locked his hands tightly. Eyebrows stretched.He wants to impress the old and stubborn Prince Qing just like today, and for the prosperity and strength of the country, he will use his smooth tongue to deceive Prince Qing's money next time.Let Prince Qing also start a business and become a national capitalist. As long as he reaps benefits on the road of innovation, Prince Qing will not turn back. The flags and drums were silenced, and they wanted to reap the fruits of victory.

"Stop, what are you doing!" A group of patrolling officers suddenly carried oil lamps and passed by the side street, and a good-hearted man shouted loudly.

"Why do we have to tell you!" Ding Guohu, a family guard on horseback, sat on the horse and disdained to deal with the patrolling guards.

"You fucking looking for smoke! Get out of here." The guard with a loud voice, seeing two ordinary carriages without signs, thought they were the children of rich people, but he didn't know that the hot red from the capital was sitting on the carriages. Fifth grade member.

"Stinky boy, you're going to die! Don't you know it's the minister Li Daren in the study room?" Ding Guohu, the guard on horseback, shouted braggingly.

With a "plop", the guard with a loud voice knelt on the ground in fright, kowtowed and apologized: "Lord Li, don't blame me, the little one didn't know it was your car, and I hope you will spare the little one's words."

Li Guolou opened the window very dissatisfied, and shouted: "Donkey Ball, Guohu, what are you doing! Kneel on the ground for me and apologize to the official. If you don't hear the noise, don't get up."

Li Guolou was really angry. In just one day, his servants were complacent and used power to suppress others, which is not bad.

After his family member Ding Guohu kowtowed to the guards to make amends, Li Guolou said to the window, "Loud voice, if you didn't kneel down just now, this officer will promote you. It's a pity that you don't have any kind. Say hello to Yibo Yuntian."

"Hahahaha!" The group of patrolling guards couldn't help laughing, and then began to make fun of the guard who was kneeling just now for being so useless, which made the guard with a loud voice feel annoyed about it for the rest of his life.

Back in the mansion, Li Guolou turned to Jack Bao, the French chief of defense, and said: "Master Jack, it's too late today, I won't let you gather anymore, stand here at five o'clock tomorrow morning, I want to lecture you " After speaking, Li Guolou walked towards the inner house with a fierce face, letting the servants in the mansion know that he was very angry and the consequences would be serious.

When Jack Bao saw the situation, he immediately asked his servants about the situation. After learning about it, Jack Bao looked at the regretful servant Guohu, and smiled instead: "Stinky boy, what are you doing with a sad face? You are not obedient and kowtow to admit your mistake." Is it? It’s all right. Guohu, you are about to send out soon, Master Li remembers you. When you go to the barracks and work hard, no one will be promoted faster than you.”

"Really? Master Jack, you didn't lie to me." The thick-headed Guohu was still frowning, looking at Jack and Bao with deep suspicion.

"Hey! My apprentice, I don't know his character. Call me louder tomorrow morning. If he is weak, there will be no hope in the future. Do you understand?" Jack and Bao looked serious and looked at his subordinates. Helper, although he was just a janitor in the past, but he is a French janitor. He has served in the French army, and the servants trained according to French standards are all top-notch.

"Understood!" In the front yard of Li's mansion, in the middle of the night, there was a sudden yell, which woke up everyone in the yard.
