late Qing Dynasty

Chapter 48
Lan'er's complexion sank, and she raised her hand and slapped heavily on the table, "Sixth Lord, tell Aijia what's going on! Who would have the courage to mess with such things in the Hall of Mental Cultivation?" !"

"Report to the Empress Dowager..." Yi Xin stated the matter exactly.

However, he put all the blame on An Dehai and didn't mention Emperor Tongzhi at all.

"Bold slave!" Lan'er stood up angrily, and raised her voice outside, "Come here! Push An Dehai out of the Meridian Gate and behead him!"

"Yes, Empress Dowager!" The guard outside responded, and immediately went to execute it.

Faced with such a result, I felt a little uneasy. I originally only planned to drive An Dehai out of the palace, and didn't want his life. He deserved to die.

"Empress Dowager, how are these maids to be arranged?" Yixin asked about the aftermath after hearing Lan'er's decree.

"Give me some money and send it out of the palace." Lan'er waved her hands, as if she was extremely reluctant to mention this matter, "By the way, this matter must not be publicized, and it should be done as soon as possible."

Lan'er is a smart woman. She killed An Dehai to save the royal family's face, and even more so to save the little emperor's face. The French procedure she will do can also cover up the matter smoothly.

"I understand, please rest assured, Queen Mother." Yi Xin saluted Lan'er and said.

Lan'er waved her hand, motioning for Yi Xin to calm down, and then left the Hall of Mental Cultivation without saying anything more.

Until now, I was very sure that history would really be changed by me. Without the current An Dehai, I don't know if there will be the famous eunuch Li Lianying in history.

For the future, I suddenly became ignorant of what my country would become in these long years.

"Okay, the matter has come to an end, you should follow me back to the house first, and discuss the major issues of my country." Yixin patted my shoulder, and then walked towards the door first.

I followed Yixin, still a little shocked in my heart, everything in this time and space has changed because of my appearance, really changed...

When we arrived at Prince Gong's Mansion, Yixin and I kept discussing the future of the country in the study. We discussed it from dawn to dusk, and then from dusk to dawn. The two of us didn't feel tired at all.

I am now hesitating again, not sure whether it is better to have a constitutional monarchy or a socialist system.

I still remember the sentence summarized in the history textbook - only socialism can save China!

I told Yixin both ways of thinking. Obviously, he prefers a constitutional monarchy. After all, a constitutional monarchy preserves the royal family of the Qing Dynasty.

However, I am more inclined to socialism. I live in the 21st century, and I have witnessed the rapid development and prosperity of the country, gradually becoming a powerful country.

For this reason, Yixin and I argued for a long time, and I said, "Six Lord, since we want to reform, we must reform thoroughly. Our goal is to let the Chinese nation stand among the world's forests, and let all ordinary people live a prosperous life." A stable life, not for the self-interest of the so-called noble class!"

"I understand what you mean, but I think a constitutional monarchy can also save the Chinese nation from peril! After all, I am also a child of the Eight Banners and a member of the royal family. Why don't I choose to have both when I can have both my family and the country?! Unless you There are sufficient reasons to convince me!" Yixin still insisted.

"My biggest reason is that I'm from the future! I know everything that happened after that!" My excited voice roared out.

It's just that before I finished my words, I already regretted it. How could I hand over my details? Isn't this just asking for trouble for myself!
"Haha!" Yi Xin laughed suddenly, shaking her head and looking at me, "Zhongzheng! Even if you want to persuade me, you can't say such absurd things!"

"Master Liu, I'm also in a moment of urgency, and I really can't think of any good reason to convince you." I laughed and chatted with Yi Xin.

Yi Xin stretched her arms, but didn't take my words to heart, "In this way, we will first enrich the country and strengthen the people, and organize our own military forces. This matter will be put on hold for the time being."

"Master Liu, this matter cannot be shelved, it is related to our guiding ideology, we must make a decision now!" I strongly discouraged.

I still remember when I was in school, the history teacher said that the main reason why the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom did not succeed was that there was no guiding ideology and class limitations.

Therefore, we must establish our own line and policy now. Even if there are only two people, we must have a clear mind. What we are doing and what we will do in the future must be clear.

"In that case, then follow what I said, a constitutional monarchy!" Yi Xin's attitude suddenly hardened.

I know that he wants to use his status as a prince to suppress me, but if I am afraid of his status as a prince, I will not cooperate with him.

"Liuye, Japan and England are now constitutional monarchies. If we want to surpass them, we must establish a social system superior to theirs. Otherwise, we will still be defeated by them. This is a battle with the British. Haven't we suffered enough from the battle with the British and French allied forces!"

What I said was impassioned, almost tearful, and every sentence was full of emotion, it depends on how Yixin reacts.

I watched the change of expression on Yixin's face, he lowered his head silently, as if he was thinking about the truth in my words, after a long time, nearly a quarter of an hour, he nodded slightly.

"Zhongzheng, I believe in you this time, and I hope you won't let me down." Yi Xin said earnestly.

I listened to his words, although plain and simple, but I had an inexplicable urge to cry, I took a deep breath, and forcibly held back the tears that reached my eyes.

"Sixth Lord, even if I, Tang Zhongzheng, go through fire and water, I will never disappoint your expectations of me!" I held Yixin's hand and swore with my most sincere heart.

"Okay, that's it, you and I will go our separate ways. I have two hidden guards here, and their martial arts are very high. It's dangerous for you to go south this time. Take it with you just in case."

"Well, thank you, Master Liu, I've finished my work and will definitely come back as soon as possible."

When I left Yixin's mansion, the sky was already bright, and I had just returned to the mansion when I received an imperial edict from Lan'er.

"My lord, I have packed all my things, and I can set off at any time." Mei Shuang stood aside and said.

"Bring Han Yun, let's take the path south."

On October 1861, 10, I, Han Yun, Mei Shuang, and Yi Xin's two bodyguards rushed to Anqing, where the long-haired army was flooded.
