Hearing the Queen Mother's question, Deling thought for a while and replied: "Japan has sent some people to go, but only opened a few inns and shops, etc., if you want to say that there are any reliable people who have developed, there is none." ”

The Queen Mother frowned, "Then send more people, the shelves are set up to work, Japan is close at hand, you can't be underestimated, the Xuanli Office has been running for so many years, there is some news, but it is far from enough, Deling, you have to plan well, how to develop it again, the news of Japan, sent to me on the first day of the third day, equivalent to the news of Russia." ”

"Yes," De Ling responded, and Cixi asked, "I have no saying in Beijing when I go abroad?" ”

"Most people say that it is a matter of good neighborliness and friendship, quite agree, after the emperor wants to get rid of Ding Yin of the Eight Banners, it seems that the Queen Mother is more concerned about your whereabouts, some people say that as long as the Queen Mother returns to Beijing, she will definitely be able to make the emperor change her mind, and she can't continue to mess around like this."

The Queen Mother touched her nose and couldn't help but smile bitterly, when did she become the banner of the Conservative Party? "Other than that, there is no other entanglement, it's just that someone said something strange, saying that the Queen Mother went abroad and lost the identity of the Celestial Empire."

"Well, let's go, it's okay," the Queen Mother said, "It's natural to say strange things, but you can't do strange things, what about these people in the White Lotus Sect?" Is it quiet? ”

"Included in the jurisdiction of the Institute of Science and Education, everything has a standard, can be preached according to the regulations, the Queen Mother ordered the Western religions to also enter Beijing to preach, it is the image of a hundred schools of thought, although the White Lotus Sect is a little prominent, but it is not excessive, they have a good Taoist doctor, pill refining is quite effective, usually hanging pots to help the world, do some free clinics and the like, but quite compassionate."

The Queen Mother breathed a long sigh of relief, "When he accepted the White Lotus Sect, it was also a helpless move, he showed his strength, and threw out an olive branch, naturally with the help of the pacification of Xinjiang, he also contributed a lot, so he gave his ancestral court in Xinjiang, the first one, is to pay for merit, and the second is also to resist the religious invasion of the Central Asian khanates. ”

"Isn't the Queen Mother afraid of raising tigers?"

"I'm afraid, of course I'm afraid," Empress Dowager Cixi confessed, "So I also have the intention of trembling, I'm afraid that the White Lotus Sect now has an official identity, and if there is anything wrong in the future, it is really impossible to prevent it, so I will ask you this when I come back." Now that they are in peace, I am also relieved, and sometimes I think about it, if they really give up the idea of overthrowing the imperial court, and from then on they will be in harmony, wouldn't it be a good thing? ”

"It's good to recruit An," the Queen Mother said, "With me here, naturally there won't be any rabbits and dead dogs." It's just that since their ancestral court is in Xinjiang," the Queen Mother laughed as if she stole a chicken, "This Russian is menacing, so you have to make a difference." ”

De Ling listened silently without saying a word, Cixi looked at De Ling's white hair, "Over the years, you have also aged a lot, can you still handle the errand?" If you are tired, find more people under your command to do it, and be a hands-off shopkeeper yourself. ”

"The minion's body is quite tough, thank you for the Queen Mother's concern."

"There are imperial doctors waiting for this Shoukang Palace every day, if you are not comfortable, you will call the imperial doctor, you have served the Empress Dowager Kangci and the first emperor, there is no imperial doctor, there is nothing to hide and tuck, and it has accumulated into a major symptom, but it is not good." The Queen Mother looked at De Ling with a smile, "I look forward to you doing a good job, recuperating well, and entrusting you with the emperor's affairs in the future." ”

De Ling's eyebrows twitched a few times, and he lowered his head to see his expression clearly, "The slave obeys the order." ”

"The funeral office should be of great use," the Queen Mother set the tone, "not only to investigate domestic affairs, but also to arrange spies and collect intelligence from various countries, now is a world of great contention, I don't want to dominate the world, but I don't want to know nothing, I can't prepare in advance, or you have to work hard." The Queen Mother suddenly thought of something, and her face was a little strange, "The down-and-out Xiucai who persuaded the lord of Kokand to come to China for help won't be from the Xuanli Office, right?" ”

"No," De Ling said calmly, "There is no such person in the Xuanli Office, but this person can actually have the ability to combine vertical and horizontal, and the slave thinks that he can try to absorb it." ”

"This old poor sour will really cause trouble for us China," the Queen Mother said complaining, but her face was elated, "If the lord of Kokand is captured by the Russians, then to the west of the sea of Yibohai, we will not be able to speak, and the east of the sea will be slowly eaten away by the Russians, and now that this person is in hand, there is more or less reason to send troops." ”

"Sending troops?"

"Of course, of course, not now," the Empress Dowager Cixi waved her hand. "It's just that, anyway, we can meddle in their affairs, Central Asia, I don't want the Russians to have the final say, and further south are India and Persia, which have been occupied by the British, and the north and south are attacked, and we have no way out on land, and the lord of Kokand is just right." The Queen Mother was amazed, "I don't know if coming to China will be a blessing or a curse for him." (To be continued.) )
