late Qing Dynasty arrest

In the early morning, Li Guolou was wearing the official uniform of a fourth-rank civil servant, with lapis lazuli Nirvana on top, no feathers on it, a robe of eight pythons and five grasping pythons, and snow geese to make up for it.Under the guidance of the eunuch, he came to the upper study room, waiting for the emperor Tongzhi to receive him with an uneasy heart.Prince Gong Yixin, who was sitting solemnly above him, didn't talk to him either.Li Guolou knew that he was in serious trouble, and it was true that as Weng Tonghe said, the Manchus wanted to enforce the family law and beat him up.Who told him to raise his tail to the sky, so he actually used the golden medal arrow to mobilize the officials in Tianjin and the students and school officials of Xinwu Hall, causing a catastrophe, making the Qing Empire apologize to the Western powers, correcting the legal deficiencies, and guaranteeing future Nor will it commit the wrong act of massacring foreign nationals.

"Slave pays respects to Prince Gong." Li Guolou saluted, knelt on the ground and kowtowed. This is his real master behind the scenes, and Prince Gong gave him all his wealth and glory.

Prince Gong Yixin was silent for a long time, he loved and hated Li Guolou's behavior, and the written statement sincerely said that he would endure the humiliation, bear the humiliation, and not turn against the Western powers.When a major national event really happened, he immediately became mindless, dazzled by hatred, impulsively murdered and set fire, and even threw grenades. If Tianjin caused a fire, the consequences would be disastrous.If it weren't for the fact that the Qing Empire had only one official businessman like Li Guolou who could afford the country's large taxes, he would have thrown Li Guolou into prison, how could this dog slave be so cheap.

Prince Gong did not let Li Guolou flatten, but took a sip of hot tea from the teacup and asked, "Li Guolou, what are you doing these days?"

"Returning to Prince Gong, this servant is studying these days, reflecting on his own words and deeds. This servant knows that he is wrong, and never dares to do anything against the law of the court with a gold medal and arrow." Play crazy sex games and talk about reading.He reads and practices calligraphy every night, but for a few hours in the morning, most of the time, he is chasing beauty, dreaming and dreaming.When the other grandmas in the family returned to Beijing, they let him play the game of boundless love.

"Really? I've grown up. Recite the books you read to me, so that I can gain some knowledge." Prince Gong showed a sarcastic look on his face. A man only asks about political affairs, but he has a personal experience of what to do at home. How could he believe that Li Guolou was studying and practicing calligraphy honestly at home.

Li Guolou Zhenger's Eight Classics said: "Prince Gong, I am reading 36 chapters of the military book Sun Tzu's art of war, and I have already recited them. The first chapter: "Ji Pian" Sun Tzu said: Soldiers, the great event of the country, the key to life and death Earth, the way of life and death, must be investigated. Therefore, five things are used in the scriptures, and they are collated and calculated to find out their emotions: one is called Tao, two is called heaven, three is called earth, four is called generals, and fifth is called law. Those who talk about Tao, Let the people agree with the superior, so you can die with them, you can live with them, without danger. The sky is yin and yang, cold and heat, and time. The earth is far and near, dangerous and easy, wide and narrow, life and death. Generals, Wisdom, Faith, Benevolence, Courage, and Strictness. Laws, rules, officialdom, and mastery. All five of these will be heard by everyone. Those who know win, and those who don’t know win. Therefore, the school uses calculations to ask for their feelings. , Said: "Which master has the way? Who is the general capable? Who wins the world? Who does the law? Who is the strongest in the army? Who is the soldier? Who is the one who knows the rewards and punishments? From this I know the victory and defeat."

If you will listen to my plan, you will win if you use it, and keep it; if you don't listen to my plan, you will lose if you use it, so let it go.Calculating profits to listen to is for the momentum, to assist others.Those who are in power control power because of profit.Soldiers who, deception also.Therefore, what can be shown is impossible, use is used to show that it is not used, nearness is shown to be far, far away is shown to be near; profit is to lure it, chaos is to take it, reality is to prepare it, strong to avoid it, anger to scratch it, If you are humble, you will be proud, if you are lost, you will be tired, and if you are close, you will be separated.Attack the unprepared, take it by surprise.The victory of this military strategist cannot be passed on first.

If the husband has not fought and the temple is considered victorious, it must be counted as more;More counts to win, less counts to win, let alone nothing!From this point of view, I can see who wins or loses. "

Prince Gong couldn't take it anymore, interrupted the conversation, and said, "Is Li Guolou's grandson's art of war useful?"

"It's useful. This slave will definitely pretend to be a grandson in the future, and never dare to push himself forward again." Li Guolou licked his face and teased brazenly.

This person is a monkey, if you show a good face, he will go to the house to expose the tiles. Prince Gong held back his laughter, and said helplessly: "You dog slave, get up for this king, and the emperor will take care of you later."

"Tie! Thank you, Prince Gong, for being considerate of my subordinates." Li Guolou flicked his horseshoe sleeves twice, put on his official appearance, and stood at the bottom with low eyebrows, not daring to move.I am grateful for the benefits of Prince Gong. As long as Prince Gong is still alive, he will not betray the Qing Dynasty. Even if Li Hongzhang wanted to rebel, he would have betrayed his uncle.If Prince Gong died and Li Hongzhang conspired to rebel, he would get on this bandit ship.Li Guolou thought wildly, and then thought of the benefits of the Qing Dynasty, such as being able to have wives and concubines in groups, and great love without boundaries.This is criticized by Western society, and civilized society does not allow this ugly phenomenon.For a while, I thought of the evil of the Qing Dynasty, the heinous massacre, and the history of blood and tears.He is actually a Han Chinese, so how could he allow foreigners to ride on top of his head and let Han people be third-class citizens.The desire to raise the flag to rebel is always in my heart, even if I don't rebel, I still want to be a prince all the way.

"The emperor is here!" The drake yelled, and a figure walking lightly in square steps approached from far away.Li Guolou fell to his knees with a plop, not afraid of his knee being injured, and cried out sadly: "My slave Li Guolou kowtows to my emperor, long live, long live!"

Emperor Tongzhi stepped forward, kicked Li Guolou to the ground with one kick, and cursed angrily: "You dog slave, let me not sleep well, and make trouble for me, this time if it is not for the credit of the past Come on, I will send you to the ancient pagoda of Ningdong in the northeast, where you will wear armor as a slave."

Li Guolou took advantage of the trend and rolled around on the gold brick floor, and shouted: "Thank you, the emperor, for the kick, the slave is relieved now."

Seeing Li Guolou dodging on the ground like a show, Emperor Tongzhi was angry and funny, looking at Prince Gong, both of them shook their heads and sighed.You can't be so cheap, this dog slave, if you want to beat him up, you can't laugh out loud, and you have to use the ruler in the study room once.

"Slave dog, let me remind you to show off outside. I just want to show off with my British concubine. You don't even need a guard of honor. You are looking for death. You didn't let you kill people with a gold medal and arrow. You embarrass me, and I will pay you back It would be a waste of my pains to deal with the aftermath for you." Emperor Tongzhi looked unhappy, and summoned Li Guolou into the palace, in order to punish Li Guolou with the law of his ancestors, let him suffer a little bit, don't get carried away, and commit a heinous crime. I can't save it.

During the restructuring of the Qing Dynasty, Li Guolou was a flag and the cornerstone of national revitalization. For the government, its importance is self-evident.He didn't know how to be prudent in dealing with people, and let his temper go wild, which wasted the imperial court's breaking the rules and promoting him.

Li Guolou was drooling on his face, knelt on the ground, and said with a mournful face: "Your Majesty, this servant has realized his mistake, and he must be a prudent man in the future, and he will never do the matter of Zanyue again."

"Can I trust you? You won't fool me, right?" Emperor Tongzhi looked sideways at Li Guolou coldly, and without kicking the second kick, he flicked his dragon robe and sat on the dragon chair.

Li Guolou swore an oath once, but Emperor Tongzhi did not easily believe Li Guolou's words, but took a one-foot-long iron ruler from the hand of the eunuch Liu Deyin, and weighed it in his hand.This iron ruler has a history. It was given to Li Hongzao, Weng Tonghe and Xu Tong by his mother-in-law, Empress Dowager Cixi, to punish him.With this iron ruler, he can hit the palm of his hand. He was beaten several times by several teachers when he was a child.Now things are different, he has grown up, no one dares to beat him, this iron ruler has not been used for a long time, he should use this iron ruler to beat disobedient slaves.

"Slave dog, stretch out your hand. I will hit you three times. If you dare to hide, you will be punished twice." Emperor Tongzhi shook the iron ruler in his hand, walked to Li Guolou, and stared at Li Guolou triumphantly.

"Your Majesty, be gentle..." Li Guolou begged and distressed, stretching out his hands, waiting for the emperor's thunder to enrage him.

"Papa papa!" Emperor Tongzhi kept his word, and slapped Li Guolou's left hand fiercely, acting vigorously and resolutely, truly a hero out of a boy.

The palm of his hand swelled immediately, and he grinned his teeth in pain, tears streaming down his face, this time the tears were real, just now they were all fake.Li Guolou learned that Emperor Tongzhi was a serious, young and promising monarch, and he admired him all over. As for the words and expressions: "The emperor fights well, and the servant will remember it in his heart, and he will not dare to mess around in his life."

Emperor Tongzhi usually hit a few eunuchs at most, and hitting Li Guolou three times on the palm was not enough, and he was still unsatisfied, rolled his eyes, and shouted: "You dog slave, I want you to remember the lesson thoroughly, and lift your butt up for me. Three more spanks!"

"Your Majesty, have mercy!" Li Guolou was lying on the ground like a bereaved dog, not daring to move, but luckily he was the catcher.Weng Tonghe had already informed him that the Emperor Tongzhi was going to beat him up, so he put some thick cotton on the back of his buttocks. It was early winter now, and the official robe was worn outside, so no flaws could be seen.

"Crack, crack!" Emperor Tongzhi swung the iron ruler again, and hit Li Guolou on the buttocks. This time he had finished his addiction, and said loudly, "Li Guolou, remember me, I will protect you this time." Yes, if there is a next time, I will never let you down."

"Thank you Lord Long En, the slave will definitely remember it in his heart, and he will not cause trouble for the master again when he goes to Lanzhou."

Emperor Tongzhi sighed slightly: "Lanzhou is full of first-rank and second-rank civil servants, military officials, and titles, and their speech is extremely vulgar. No one will pay attention to you, a fourth-rank civil servant. Don't be caught by your pigtails and cut off by others." Head. I will give you another secret decree, anyone who dares to arrest you and wants to murder you will be arrested and brought back to the capital, and I will judge for you, but you are not allowed to kill."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, I have tried my best to do my job well and live up to my Majesty's great trust." Li Guolou cried bitterly, lying on the ground, although he was beaten very painfully, but he asked for it.Emperor Tongzhi cared for him very much, and he would not betray his master even if he was alive.Being beaten and caressed twice by the Emperor Tongzhi, his heart was broken, and tears rushed out like a wild horse that had run loose.

Seeing Li Guolou holding up the imperial decree smiling with tears on his face, Emperor Tongzhi rolled his eyes and said angrily: "What does Li Guolou look like? You are the fourth-rank official of the imperial court. Stand up and answer, wipe away the tears for me, and say Let’s talk about the last inspection, don’t speak nice words to me, I want to listen to the truth.”

"Zha!" Li Guolou's knees were numb, and one hand was swollen like a steamed bun. He stood up with one hand, and looked up at Prince Gong who was sitting next to him.Seeing Prince Gong blinking at him, he immediately understood that it was better to pick them up when he was inspecting the local military camp.Let’s not talk about the cases of Eight Banners disciples who can’t be reused, and try not to talk about embarrassing things. As for the shortage of guns in the army, it is even more taboo.

Li Guolou chatted about local anecdotes, and made jokes about Yihequan Lu Zhishen and He Xiangu's preaching. Emperor Tongzhi and Prince Gong Yixin listened with gusto.Don't look at Prince Gong's high position and authority, he is a prince, and he can't leave Beijing unless he obeys the order. He is also full of curiosity about the outside world.The prince is usually not allowed to visit the house. The emperor has set many rules for his relatives. The rules set by the ancestors are complicated and strict, and no one dares to violate them.The Qing Dynasty paid close attention to the education of the children of the royal family. There were many children of the royal family who were proficient in literature and ink, and they were given power, but they were not given the opportunity to form cliques for personal gain. fly out.

It was almost noon in the blink of an eye, Emperor Tongzhi was very interested in Li Guolou's business development, coughed slightly: "Li Guolou, I will discuss business development with you in the afternoon, so let's have dinner first, and continue talking after dinner. Prince Gong, you can go back after eating too."

"Take it!" Li Guolou agreed bravely, if it was a prevarication and the emperor would beat him up, it would be a no-brainer. The hard work of going to the brothel would always be carried on his shoulders.

In the afternoon to continue the discussion, Emperor Tongzhi left the upper study and did not have lunch with Li Guolou and Prince Gong.With him sitting on it, no one else could eat well, so he left for an hour.

Li Guolou and Prince Gong were dining in the upper study room. A table of meals was placed in front of each of them. The table was a square table with six dishes and one soup. The two ate the same meal. Li Guolou devoured the same meal. Although his hands were still a little swollen, he had a big appetite. After eating three bowls of rice, I finished all six dishes and one soup.Prince Gong Yixin's table only ate a bowl of rice, only half of the six dishes were eaten, and a bowl of soup was finished.

Prince Gong Yixin finished his meal first, washed his face and rinsed his mouth in the copper basin, looked at Li Guolou's devouring appearance, and said with a smile: "It's better to be a young man, seeing you eating, I also have a lot of appetite. I only ate half a bowl of rice."

"My family is full of female wolves. If you don't eat more, you won't have the strength to feed them." Li Guolou accidentally said something wrong, and the eunuchs who served him also pursed their lips and snickered.

Prince Gong Yixin rolled his eyes and said: "Li Guolou is looking for a fight, don't lead the emperor down."

"Zha!" Li Guolou's heart was beating wildly. He and Emperor Tongzhi pretended to discuss business in the afternoon, but in fact they slipped out of the palace to play together, so that Prince Gong could smell it.What he said to Emperor Tongzhi was a code word, how could Prince Gong see the clue? Li Guolou didn't want to understand, looking at the four eunuchs beside him, which dead eunuch betrayed him and the emperor?Li Guolou, who was born with a sharp mind, was wary of the four eunuchs beside him.
