This matter is really not over, a few days later, before De Ling came to report, that day in the Yang Xin Temple Cixi said has already spread, the Empress Dowager Cixi was still a little ignorant when she heard De Ling come to report, "What's the matter, what did I say?" ”

"People outside are talking about it, mainly some officials, and the upstarts of the Eight Banners, saying that the Queen Mother attaches too much importance to foreign devils, but forgets the livelihood and death of the people in the country, and the officials say that the Queen Mother is inevitably ......"

"What is it?" The Queen Mother's eyebrows jumped.dt.com

"Some have lost their power and humiliated the country, and they have lost their identity as the kingdom of the Celestial Empire......"

"This identity is not sealed by myself, it is given by others!" The Queen Mother almost jumped up, "If you don't look like that, others won't give you any face of the Heavenly Empire, if this son has been knocked over to the ground by foreigners, you are not qualified to say anything about the Heavenly Empire!" ”

Gao Xinkui stood aside, saw that the queen mother lost her temper, and then said, "Since the birth of Britain and France in Baliqiao in the old year, many people in the government and the opposition have become full of anger again. ”

Okay, now, both sides complained about themselves, the Queen Mother was a little angry, but laughed, "I've become a pig who is not a person in the mirror inside and out." ”

"Niangniang, this matter can not be small Gao Xin Kui Zhengse said, "since the Daoguang Dynasty, the morale of the people is sluggish, although the Heavenly Empire boasts of the country, but this defeat to the foreigners is an indisputable fact, the so-called face, a stab will be broken, during the Xianfeng years, Britain and France attacked twice, but all the way from Guangzhou to Dagukou, but also prepared to besiege the Beijing Division, signed the alliance under the city, fortunately, the Queen Mother strategized and defeated the two countries, which left some face for China on the land route, outsiders do not know that this big victory came by luck, it is really a tragic victory, I will only think that the majesty of the Celestial Empire has reappeared, and all countries are just around the corner, and now the foreigners trade with China are also considered to be subordinate to the great martial virtues of the Celestial Empire, so now the foreigners are unscrupulous in preaching and trading, and the people must complain. ”

"The queen mother took advantage of this great victory, although she lived in the deep palace, but no one in the foreign court was dissatisfied, because it was the military merit that was precious, and the one who destroyed the foreign enemy was the most expensive, the queen mother now raised the heart of the palace, sent down the auxiliary minister, let Prince Gong be the king of the government, the new policy of foreign affairs, the clan and the courtiers have no opinions, all from the victory of the Bali Bridge, this battle is the foundation of the queen mother's foothold." Gao Xinkui spoke quite directly, otherwise you are a queen of the first emperor, even if you know how to read, you will approve the folds, why can you listen to the government with the curtains, and also quite smoothly carry out the new policy of foreign affairs, all because you won the victory of Britain and France, signed a treaty that is not too humiliating, this is okay, otherwise you can only stay in the harem honestly embroidery and feed the goldfish, want to hang the curtain, dream of it.

The Queen Mother was obviously fascinated by such words, leaned forward slightly, and listened very carefully, "Since the Queen Mother has her current status by fighting with foreigners, she naturally can't say such things, the Holy Son of Heaven is ruled by the arch, and you can't draw conclusions without authorization in case of trouble, and you can't easily reflect your likes and dislikes, the King of Chu has a thin waist, and the palace people are starving to death, and the Queen Mother said that the lives of foreigners are critical, in order to prevent conflicts between foreigners and foreign countries because of death, but ordinary people don't know the real situation now, and they will only think that this is a compromise strategy, so far." , Queen Mother, how can you serve people outside?
