late Qing Dynasty arrest

At five drums, Li Guolou had already arrived at Xihua Gate on horseback. In the dark night, a few palace lanterns illuminated the green woolen official sedan chairs in front of him. Li Guolou was not afraid of frightening people. Good morning, teacher!"

When the door curtain was lifted, Li Hongzao showed his head and said with a smile, "Guolou, you are back."

Another official sedan chair also made a voice: "Li Guolou, which teacher are you calling?"

"It's all teachers, the students are back." Li Guolou saluted Li Hongzao first, and then Weng Tonghe. He already had an idea in his mind. The two main forces of the Qing School came to the study room, which showed that Emperor Tongzhi was a little impulsive.There is an undercurrent in the court, and the Qing school wants to stir up pornography

Prince Qing's errands were easy, he drank mare's milk slowly, and looked at Li Guolou with a smile. Bao Quanzhong, one of the four princes of the capital, robbed Li Guolou's concubine. Storyteller's plot.Prince Qing was snickering playfully, there was no state affairs in his mind, he was just dawdling all day long.

Prince Qing was quite helpless, he wanted to do a career and take more bribes, but he didn't have much real power in his hands. He was suppressed by Prince Gong in the court, so he wanted to see Prince Gong step down, otherwise he would never see his day.This time, Prince Gong and Li Hongzhang were reprimanded by Emperor Tongzhi, and Prince Qing wanted to make trouble.

Prince Jin Yi was as usual, sitting still with a serious face, he seldom held a notebook, and generally did not express his opinions, but he was still very insightful, and his words and deeds were consistent with national policies.Prince Jin began to grasp the military power and entered the Military Aircraft Department, and his title was added with the title of Minister of Military Aircraft.Li Hongzhang was preparing to build the Beiyang Navy, and the Emperor Tongzhi wanted to consider the country, so he asked Prince Chun to take charge of the Beiyang Navy's yamen.

Now Prince Chun's power is in the hands of the government and the public, and he has the right to deploy 380 million taels of silver and the right to appoint and remove officials from the Beiyang Navy.What surprised her was that Prince Jin didn't wantonly embezzle and fill his own pockets.On the contrary, the conduct was very good, which brought a fresh wind to the court, and also made people see that the future of the Qing Dynasty's establishment of a modern navy is bright.

Emperor Tongzhi sat on the large dragon chair and said, "Li Guolou, have you figured out the ins and outs of the Ma Jiali case?"

Li Guolou's butt hurriedly got off the stool, and replied respectfully: "I would like to report to the emperor, I have already explained the ins and outs of the Ma Jiali case, and the conditions issued by the British are also clear. I will definitely live up to the emperor's trust and handle it properly." This diplomatic dispute. As for the solution, it is still in the womb. However, I believe that the implementation plan of the national economy in the fifth year of the Qing Dynasty cannot be changed. The international atmosphere of good neighborliness and friendship is the most beneficial to the development of our country's economy, and the people need to cultivate their lives and recuperate. "

"Hmm!" Emperor Tongzhi didn't express his opinion, feeling a little lost in his heart, and the flame of burning fighting spirit was extinguished.He didn't know the result, but he wanted to hear Li Guolou's impassioned speech, but Li Guolou flinched.It seems that letting Li Guolou be the special negotiating envoy can only bargain with the British, but cannot change the essence of the eight traitorous clauses.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say, but I disagree with Li Guolou's opinion." Weng Tong took a few steps forward and blocked Li Guolou behind him.Good dogs don't get in the way, barking dogs get out of the way.

Weng Tong said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, this time the British Minister Wade is making trouble out of reason. This sudden incident is only the death of an interpreter. How can we go to the point where the two countries will meet each other? How can we agree with the British? With so many demands from people, I firmly disagree with signing this treaty, and if I want to push it back, I don’t believe there is no justice.”

Li Guolou took a step across, leaned forward and said, "Your Majesty, I also have something to say."

"Well! Tell me!" Emperor Tongzhi had already cultivated a body like a diamond, as immovable as a mountain.Express your opinions less and listen more. This is the key point that Empress Dowager Cixi told him to be an emperor.

Li Guolou said loudly: "Your Majesty, the matter is not just a superficial matter, it is not as simple as the death of a small person. The Margaret case was put on the negotiating table by the British, so it can be said with confidence. The Margaret case is just a fuse Suo, the limit will be magnified at any time. The British are strongly dissatisfied with the Qing Dynasty, which has reached an intolerable level. The British feel that their interests in China have been damaged. If you don't give him this benefit, he will fight until you give it. I think that before our military industrial facilities have reached a large scale, we will never go to war with the western powers. There is also a need to reform the education system, otherwise the common people will just sit on the sidelines ;;;;;;”

"Bold! Li Guolou, is this what you should say?" Prince Qing's donkey face turned purple with anger, and he pointed at Li Guolou's nose nervously.This education system is his responsibility, how can anyone else get involved, Li Guolou is too shameless, even want to deprive him of the meager power in his hands.

"Li Guolou, what nonsense are you talking about! Get back." Li Hongzao flicked his official sleeves and asked Li Guolou to step aside.

Li Guolou's face turned pale, and the first small court meeting in Beijing was attacked by three important officials of the court. Prince Gong and Li Hongzhang were not around, so if he was left to fight alone, would there be any way out?Quickly stepped back and listened to the training in humiliation.

Li Hongzao raised his head and said: "Your Majesty, Li Guolou has taken the topic too far. If it is extended according to Li Guolou's topic, it will not be a defense in the study, but a meeting in the prime minister's office. It will be reversed day and night. My minister agrees with Weng Tong." If there is a big deal, the French will not be able to take advantage of Annan, and the British will end up in the same way in Yunnan. I guarantee that the governor of Yunnan, Cen Yuying, will be able to guard the southern gate of the motherland."

"Successor!" Weng Tong was so aggressive that he had wanted to fight the British for a long time. It would be better if Emperor Tongzhi sent him to the front line to personally command thousands of troops. Weng Tong dreamed of seizing military power.

"My king also seconded the proposal! Use this hat to guarantee Cen Yuying, live up to the emperor's trust, and there will definitely be a red flag news of success to Beijing."

Emperor Tongzhi raised his arms and shouted: "Li Guolou, don't be so sad, what did you say?"

Li Guolou knelt down on his knees, but with a stiff neck, he raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, whoever dares to talk lightly about a war is a traitor. Even if Cen Yuying is capable, he can only defend a province of Yunnan. That's because it is a mountainous place." , and the roads are not smooth. Liu Yongfu’s defeat of the French in Annan also benefited from the high mountains and dense forests. The victory of riding the red flag can’t change the coastal areas of the Qing Dynasty being ravaged by the British. Can't live."[

"Bold!" Emperor Tongzhi was furious. After holding his breath for more than two months, he finally broke out. The teacup on the table was thrown at Li Guolou, and with a bang, the gold bricks were in a mess.

Several eunuchs tried to pick up the fragments on the ground, but flinched back in fright.The upper study room was surprisingly quiet, and the monarch and ministers just confronted each other like this.

Li Guolou didn't give in. How could he start a war so easily since the rise and fall of the country is at stake.Li Guolou refused to back down, he should act like Goujian, he has been a slut for three generations, and he will continue to be a slut.You can't find the British even if you have a national humiliation, you have to pick the soft persimmons!
