Drunken Immortal Building, Zaitao's mood in the past two days has begun to calm down, Liu Jun came here two days ago, and with his own words, he made himself understand one thing, that is, the destruction of the Qing Dynasty is an inevitable thing, don't say anything, just rely on Liu Jun's attitude of employing people without suspicion, that is not towards him, and there is one most important reason, Liu Jun is doing business with the people, and his heart is always with the people, but the Qing Dynasty, no, the entire Qing Dynasty, is to one person, that is, the emperor, or the Aixin Jueluo family. They do not consider the interests of the people, and even if they do, it is only for the purpose of political stability.

Zaitao had already accepted Liaodong's invitation and was ready to work in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs after the abdication of the imperial court, and as for the vacant title of prince, he did not plan to use it anymore. It is only a futile attempt to increase sorrow.

"Lord Wang, Li Jingfang, the negotiator of Liaodong, came to visit and said that there was a discussion." Zaitao, who was standing by the window, heard Zhang Zhidong calling himself, and immediately turned around and said, "Let him in." ”

A few minutes later, Li Jingfang, who was dressed in a white Hanfu, walked in from outside, and today, the purpose of his coming was to give Zaitao a reflection of the situation, Liaodong agreed that the imperial court would announce the abdication edict in fifteen days, but the takeover of the Liaodong Army would be carried out from now on.

"I don't know why the negotiators are here?" The imperial court has not abdicated yet, and everyone is still their own master, Zaitao did not give Li Jingfang any good treatment, but waited for him to sit down and asked.

Li Jingfang was not angry at Zaitao's performance, and after smiling slightly, Li Jingfang took out a document from his folder and said, "I was ordered to come to discuss a matter. Speaking of this, Li Jingfang explained the general description of the matter.

Zaitao heard it, that is, he abdicated fifteen days later, but the handover can be carried out from now on.

There is no contradiction in this, but Zaitao can't call the shots, only Cixi can call the shots, if she doesn't nod, even if she doesn't object, it's useless, and after reading the documents in her hand, she put them on the coffee table on the side and said: "Your opinion is worth understanding, however, you know the rules of our court, I still need to report to the court, let the court decide, and I hope you can understand." ”

Understand, of course Li Jingfang can understand this, after nodding slightly, Li Jingfang stood up, and after asking about the approximate time, he turned around and said goodbye and left the Drunken Immortal Building.

"Zhongtang, what do you mean?" After Li Jingfang left, Zaitao handed the document in his hand to Zhang Zhidong and asked Zhang Zhidong what he meant, Zhang Zhidong picked up the document and looked at it.

"Send Liaodong to the imperial court, I believe that the imperial court will be able to make a wise judgment." Zhang Zhidong said conclusively.

Seeing Zhang Zhidong say this, Zaitao didn't hesitate, but nodded, called the guards who had been guarding outside, and signaled him to tell the situation and truthfully reflect it to the court, and hoped to make a decision as soon as possible.

Chengdu, the office of the Minister of Posts and Telecommunications, Zaifeng kept playing with the brush in his hand, and now, as the commander of the first town of the imperial court plus the Minister of Posts and Telecommunications, he suddenly became a powerful prince in the imperial court, but Zaifeng was not happy in his heart, the words of the housekeeper were still in his ears, and he could only accept these positions under the premise of ensuring his own life. The position of the commander is a hot potato.

Hey, what did the court think, why didn't it let me resign. Zaifeng, who was sitting in a chair, looked out the window depressedly and thought,

There was a figure shaking outside the window, and Zai Fengding, who saw this situation, saw that the person who came in was the personnel of the telegraph room.

"Lord Wang, Baoji sent an urgent official letter." The person who came in handed the telegram in his hand directly to Zaifeng. ，

The telegram from Baoji is currently discussing what kind of abdication is going on, so Zaifeng didn't care, he was going to take a look at it and regret it and put it aside, however, when the last word was read, Zaifeng immediately stood up, he knew that there was a thing, the above matter, only one person can decide, this person is Cixi.

In the Yang'en Temple, Cixi kept beating wooden fish in the inner hall, and after deciding to make peace, Cixi would spend a certain amount of time here to pray for a period of time, hoping that everyone would be safe.

"Mr. Li, look?" Zaifeng, who picked up the document, looked at Li Lianying in front of him.

Although Li Lianying didn't know what Zaifeng was doing when he came to Cixi today, he understood at that time that what Zaifeng sent must be the news from Baoji, and the current news of Baoji could not be delayed at all, after looking down and thinking for a while, Li Lianying nodded, and then walked in.

A few minutes later, the sound of the wooden fish knocking inside stopped, and Zaifeng knew that Li Lianying had informed Cixi of the matter, so after tidying up his clothes again, he stood in front of the door and waited for Cixi's summons.

"Lord Wang, Lafayette is waiting for you in the hall. Go in yourself. "Maybe Cixi informed Li Lianying to let Zaifeng go in alone, so after Li Lianying came out, she motioned for Zaifeng to go in alone.

Zaifeng understood, smiled a little, and then turned around and walked in. As soon as he entered the hall, Zaifeng saw Cixi standing alone in front of the wall of the hall, he took a look, the originally bare walls, now hanging, are all portraits of the emperors of this dynasty, and Cixi, standing in front of Emperor Xianfeng looking at the portrait in a daze.

"Galeries Lafayette is auspicious." I didn't want to interrupt Cixi's memories, but Zaifeng had to.

Cixi did not react, and Zaifeng, who was standing on the side, could only say that Lafayette was auspicious again.

"Say, what's the matter? The mourners can hear it. Cixi, who had her back to Zaifeng, said.

Hearing this voice, Zaifeng hurriedly took out the document from his hand, he knew that Cixi would never read it, so he could only say: "Lafayette, Zaitao called, Liaodong agreed to our abdication on the 14th, but I hope that the handover can start now." ”

What the? Hearing this, Cixi turned around, he didn't expect that Zaifeng had sent him this telegram,

Handover, and now I have started the handover before I abdicate, isn't it too early? Even if it's going to be handed over, can you wait until I announce my abdication? (To be continued.) )
