Chapter 985: The Imperial Court is over
Zongren's Mansion is the royal department's management of the royal family, as long as it is a royal person, there are archives in the Zongren Mansion, which is related to the existence of the Qing Dynasty, Cixi can't just discuss this matter with the ministers of the imperial court, she plans in her heart, after discussing with the people of the imperial family, after discussing with the ministers of the imperial court, whether to accept the abdication of Liaodong or resist to the end.

The Zongren Mansion soon came to the Yang'en Palace, and after receiving Cixi's order, the Zongren Mansion immediately sent a notice, and in less than an hour, the royal family members in Chengdu gathered in the Yang'en Palace, except for Zaitao in Baoji, and stood in several rows looking at Cixi sitting on the yellow chair in front of him.
During this hour, after careful consideration, Cixi still believed that the imperial court could not back down on this matter. Otherwise, the Qing Dynasty will be lost in her own hands, and she doesn't want to be the king of the country. She doesn't want to restore the rivers and mountains at the moment, she just wants to maintain the status quo in the southwest. But Liu Jun, whether he will give him this opportunity, this is not clear at all.
"I called you here today, because there was a big incident in the Qing Dynasty." After looking at the princes and ministers below who still didn't know what was going on, Cixi slowly opened her mouth and held up the telegram sent by Zaitao from the red coffee table next to her and said again: "Look at it, Liaodong has finally colluded with the Qing Dynasty, if we don't give them an answer before July 1st." We're going to be attacked. “
There was an uproar, and when Cixi said this, the people below suddenly exploded the nest. The whole hall is like a vegetable market, and there are fierce quarrels.
Ten minutes later. Prince Gong Fu Wei, who had always been standing at the front, stepped forward and said, "Lafayette, how can I be so humiliated. I and more than a dozen departments such as the Ministry of War discussed that we would absolutely not compromise with Liaodong. ”
"Okay, I have this kind of talent in the Qing Dynasty, why can't I protect my family and defend the country." Hearing this, Cixi shouted hello and said.
Cixi's words let everyone present know what Cixi's real thoughts were, even those below who wanted to accept Liaodong's conditions did not dare to speak out, but bent down together and said: "Lafayette Shengming." ”
This kind of unanimous thing in the court, Cixi has not heard of it for a long time, and the confidence she has never had in her heart has recovered again today, as long as the court is united and everyone works together, it will be able to keep the Liaodong army out of the southwest.
Hey, the imperial court is finished this time, seeing Cixi laughing on it, Zaifeng, who was standing in front, took a deep breath and sighed, he knows best, the imperial court now does not say that the Liaodong Army is blocked from the southwest, I am afraid that in less than a month, the Liaodong Army will be able to enter Chengdu.
I definitely can't go to the funeral with the imperial court, after thinking about it carefully, Zaifeng decided to leave, even if it was good to go to Guizhou or Hunan.
"Lafayette, now that Li Yuanhong is about to take Hunan, the slave asks to assist Li Yuanhong and stabilize the situation in Hunan." Zaifeng, who thought about it for a while, stepped forward and said cautiously.
It takes courage to say this, if you provoke Cixi a little, I'm afraid that today will be your own death, but here, you can only die, and everywhere is death, it is better to gamble.
In the silent Yang'en Palace, Zaifeng's heart, who had been kneeling on the ground, began to beat up and down, and he could hardly bear this atmosphere.
"Okay, you just pack up and go to Hunan to find Li Yuanhong." After a while, Cixi said slowly.
"The minion thanks Lafayette." Zaifeng, whose sweat had already fallen, said loudly.
Lao Tzu finally has a chance to live. Jaefeng, who stood up and stepped aside, thought in his heart.
Yang'en Palace, five hours have passed since today's discussion of the royal family members, the royal family personnel have left, and now, in a huge room, there is only a lonely Cixi left, since the royal family personnel left, Cixi is thinking about one thing, that is, whether to launch a surprise attack on the Liaodong Army in advance, to catch them off guard, and let them know that they are not so easy to bully.
The idea was so, but Cixi didn't know how good she was about it. She also understands that a victory can deter the Liaodong Army, and if it fails, there is only one consequence, and that can only be for the Liaodong Army to attack in advance.
Britain, Prime Minister's Office, Adam sat on the sofa with a silent face, and there was not much going on today. It took him less than two hours to get things ready, and then he removed his shotgun from the wall, and he planned to go hunting in the woods behind him after lunch. It's been a long time since I've had such a relaxation.
The lunch meal was still the same, and Adam was dissatisfied with his living allowance, and after a few hasty bites, Adam stood up and returned to his room, and just got dressed, and before he picked up his shotgun, Adam saw Secretary of the Navy Churchill and Secretary of War Johnson walking in by mistake.
"You don't look good, is something wrong?" Adam smiled after taking a look at their expressions.
When Churchill and Johnson heard this joke, which was not a joke, they immediately looked at each other, then handed out a piece of information from their hands and said: "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, our opportunity has come." ”
The opportunity came, what did this mean, Adam, who heard this, looked puzzled, he did not understand what Churchill meant by this.
"What's wrong with you, what chance are we coming?"
"Your Excellency Prime Minister, I just received an urgent telegram from the observation group that in the joint exercise between Liaodong and Germany this morning, the Liaodong Navy will be in power. The battleship was sunk by the German Navy not far from the port of the fleet. Now the navies of the two countries have begun serious discussions. ”
Adam, who heard this, immediately put down the shotgun he had just removed and took the telegram from Churchill. Then watch carefully.
Britain was played by Liu Jun last time, and this time is no exception, Adam was not the prime minister that year, and at that time, the prime minister was also deceived by a trick played by Liaodong.
Once bitten by a snake for ten years, I was afraid of the well rope. Adam, who had looked at the telegram, put it on the table, and then said to Churchill beside him: "Do you see how this compares to what happened a few years ago? ”
Adam's words, everyone present understood that Churchill had this idea in his heart when he received this telegram, but later, he completely dispelled this thought, the reason is very simple, Yi? It is the most powerful capital ship in Liaodong, this kind of warship, Britain has not owned it so far, if Liaodong wants to play tricks on itself, it can't use this kind of large main warship, a cruiser can, but this time, Yi? The sinking of the ship, which brought irreparable losses to the Liaodong Navy.
"Your Excellency Prime Minister, shouldn't it be, the capital ship of the Liaodong Navy? The sinking of the ship this time is probably a conspiracy of the Germans. ”
Conspiracy, Adam, who heard this, looked puzzled, he did not understand what Churchill meant. (To be continued.) )
