late Qing Dynasty

Chapter 69
When we arrived at the palace, the sky was gradually getting brighter. I asked the little eunuch, and found out that Lan'er had completely moved to live in the Xinuang Pavilion of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

When I left, she was still living in the Shouchun Palace and the Yangxin Palace. It can be seen that the current political affairs must be busy.

When I arrived at the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the little eunuch stopped me and told me that Rong Lu was inside and asked me to wait.

This Rong Lu is here, I guess my end will be even worse.

However, how Rong Lu could be here so early is very fascinating.

As a last resort, I wandered around the Hall of Mental Cultivation before going back.

"Is Ronglu still in there?" I asked the little eunuch.

"Returning to Mr. Tang, the general has just left." The little eunuch said politely.

"Then Eunuch Lao will report to the Queen Mother, saying that I have something important to report."

I deliberately added the word 'important', so that these little eunuchs would not dare to neglect.

"Master Tang, I will report to you later." The little eunuch bowed to me and walked in with small steps.

I stood outside, feeling unspeakably apprehensive, if I failed this time, I would be imprisoned directly, and I would not even have a chance to go home.

What's more, what should I say when I meet Lan'er, as far as my relationship with her is concerned, I don't want to surrender to her.

After a while, the little eunuch ran out in a panic, with an apologetic expression on his face.

"Master Tang, I'm sorry, the queen mother said that she is busy now and has no time to see you."

Rong Lu just came out of it, why didn't she have time to see me, she was obviously avoiding me, did she know my reason for coming.

It seems that this time I am in danger.

When I left the palace, Mei Shuang was waiting there, seeing me go out, she immediately came up to greet me.

"My lord, how is the situation?" She looked at me hopefully.

I shook my head without any major emotional fluctuations, "I haven't seen the Queen Mother."

"My lord, what does it mean that I haven't seen the Queen Mother? Is it because the Queen Mother refuses to see you?" Mei Shuang asked after me.

"Yeah." I replied listlessly, and continued to walk forward.

In fact, I am not afraid of what the queen mother will do to me, but I am afraid that I will miss this critical period. The ten years from now will be the famous Tongzhi Zhongxing in history. That is to say, during this period, there will be no foreign intrusion.

I must take advantage of this period to form my own powerful army and powerful navy to gradually solve the problem of food and clothing for the people.

This time I took a trip to the south, and I have already discovered that such a goal is easy to say, and I thought it was very simple at the time, but in fact, it is extremely difficult to implement.

One is that there are too many people, and it is difficult for everyone to agree. My idea is good, but not everyone can understand and support me. The other is that the manpower and material resources used are too large. I don’t have such strong strength at all. And Yixin, the third is that there are too many intermediate links, too complicated, and there are many things that I don't even know.

For example, if I want to build a strong army, I don't know how to build it, how to manage it, and how to arm it. In this respect, I am not even as good as Chen Yucheng.

There are also weapons. England and Little Japan have already used guns, but we still have swords and spears. With such a disparity, it is no wonder that we do not fail!
So, a series of things are waiting to be done. Now, I can't even win over a person with lofty ideals. I have to do everything myself, even if I am broken into pieces, I can't be busy!

I was full of complaints on the way home, until today, I did not see the status quo, people are selfish, especially the rich and powerful, most of them only think about how to protect their own interests, never thought about If the interests of the country are safeguarded.

For their own benefit, they do not hesitate to beg for mercy from foreigners.

How great it would be if all of us could unite!

Just as I was thinking, Mei Shuang's wailing brought me back to reality, "It's over, my lord, let's run away!"

"Where are you going?" I squinted at her.

In fact, I know that I am a bit of an angry youth now. When I make a decision, I should have thought of these difficulties.

"Shall we escape to the cottage?" Mei Shuang asked me tentatively.

"Didn't fleeing to the cottage expose them too?" I replied angrily.

"But if you don't escape, your life will be lost, my lord!" Mei Shuang said anxiously.

I can't figure out what the Queen Mother means now. She met Rong Lu so early, but she didn't see me. What does this mean?
An affair between the two of them? !

I know I shouldn't think so, but it is an undeniable fact that there was some confusion between them in history.

I don't know if history will be changed because of my appearance.

This mess in the late Qing Dynasty is really hard to clean up!

I suddenly complained a lot today, maybe because of my mood, I am a more casual person myself, I can write whatever I like, and I can do whatever I want.

"My lord, did you listen to me!" Mei Shuang said anxiously.

"Listen, Mei Shuang, take Han Yun to the cottage immediately, and leave overnight, so you don't want to be discovered."

I suddenly thought of the most important thing, what if I was sentenced to implicate the nine clans, wouldn't the servants in the family be implicated by their blessings!

And Han Yun, he has already sacrificed a lot for me.

"My lord, this servant will not leave! Where my lord goes, this servant will go!" Mei Shuang stubbornly grabbed my arm.

I held her hand back, like a big brother, "Mei Shuang, listen to me, this time you are mainly escorting Han Yun, I can't let him have trouble."

Mei Shuang hesitated for a while, then nodded with tears in her eyes, "My lord, this servant will come back to find you after I make arrangements for Han Yun."

"Okay, Han Yun's safety must be guaranteed." I told her.

It takes at least three days to go back and forth to the cottage. At that time, everything has been settled.

When I returned to the Tang Mansion, I asked the housekeeper to gather all the family members, and I stood on the steps and shouted at them.

"Everyone, you have been working in the Tang Mansion for so long. My lord, I have decided to give you a one-month vacation! You should go home, visit relatives, and travel around the mountains and rivers! Wait a month later. Get back to work!"

After I finished shouting, everyone was in disbelief, but the housekeeper responded quickly and asked me, "My lord, did something happen?"

"No, I just want to give you a holiday." I didn't tell the truth.

"Tang Zhongzheng, come out!" Suddenly there was a loud roar from outside, which made everyone look back in fright.
