In Chuxiu Palace, Cixi looked relaxed, closed her eyes, and silently chanted in her heart a few times before slowly opening her eyes.

Looking at the golden statue of Guanyin placed in the Buddha in front of her made of fine wood, Cixi smiled slightly.

Liu Jun stopped attacking, which meant that he didn't have to worry that he would go south along Shanhaiguan and attack Beijing. This is a good thing, and it is also a bodhisattva manifestation.

For the past few days, every day, he would be here, silently reciting scriptures, praying for Guanyin's blessing and that the rebellious thief would stop. Now, the news from the little eunuch. All of a sudden, the stone in Cixi's heart fell to the ground......

Buckled the three rings again, picked up the three red incense sticks on the red offering table in front of the Buddha hall, and lit them in front of the candle next to him.

A few seconds later, Cixi blew out the incense stick that was still winding = burning, and a thick and elegant fragrance suddenly wafted out of the Buddhist hall.

Solemnly, he inserted the incense stick into the all-copper incense burner. Cixi walked slowly out of the hall and into her seat, which was covered with mink softness.

After looking at the little eunuch who was still kneeling on the ground, Cixi smiled slightly: "Go and come from Prince Gong." ”

"Lafayette, Prince Gong has been waiting outside the palace for a long time?" Li Lianying's face was honored, and her soft voice made a normal person's scalp tingle when she listened.

However, Cixi liked it and nodded slightly: "Let him come in." ”

Abundant? It is true that he has been waiting outside the palace for a long time, and after the morning court, he brought Li Hongzhang's letter and prepared to immediately tell Cixi what Liu Jun meant, but came to Chuxiu Palace. He asked, estimating the fragrance of the fragrance.

Cixi won't let anyone bother when she is incense, Yi? I can only keep pinching the letter in my arms with my hands, for fear that I will lose it.

"Lord Wang, Lafayette declares you." Li Lianying shook the white dust in her hand. A smile on his face.

Yixian nodded, raised his feet and walked in, and saw that Cixi's face and moist still revealed a hint of ruddy. Knowing in his heart that Cixi should know about the affairs of the court, Liu Jun has stopped attacking Jilin.

Snapping and flicking his sleeves a few times, before he had time to say goodbye, Cixi, who couldn't hold back her joy, smiled: "The prince is exempt." ”

Hearing this, Yi? You're not welcome, after raising your head and looking at Cixi, Yi? After hurriedly taking out the letter that had been stained with a lot of sweat from the first sect and handing it to Li Lianying, he said: "This is the heart of Li Hongzhang, the governor of Zhili. Seeing that Cixi was watching, Yi? He took a step forward and said, "Li Hongzhang said in his letter that Liu Jun is willing to accept a truce. ”

Cixi put down the letter in her hand: "The court and the central government have peace objections to giving Jilin to Liu Jun.

Liu Jun's truce, there are conditions, the condition is that Jilin will return to Liu Jun blames Xi'an, this matter, Cixi knows, or rather, from the moment Liu Jun stopped attacking Jilin, Cixi knew in her heart that Jilin, and even the entire Northeast, would no longer belong to the imperial court.

"The ministers don't have any opinions, but the head of the household said that this is insulting to the national body, and asked the emperor not to hand over Jilin to Liu Jun for governance." Abundant? Cautiously looked at Cixi's expression. Weng Tongyong, who voiced the dissenting opinion of the second best.

Weng Tonggong again, Cixi frowned.

It was extremely stubborn, and it seemed that the previous lesson still did not wake up this old man, and Cixi suddenly felt disgusted with this two-generation emperor in her heart.

"Weng Tong is old, I think I can go back and have a good rest." A casual word decided that Weng Tongxi's official fortune would come to an end.

"Tsk," Li Lianying nodded and walked out the door.

"Lord, you go and let the emperor make an order to summon Changshun back to Beijing, and now where does it no longer belong to us?" Cixi said this, and her heart was inevitably sentimental.

Abundant? Hearing the helplessness in Cixi's heart, he stepped forward: "Lafayette, Liu Jun asked Li Hongzhang to pass a word?" ”

"What?" Cixi asked weakly.

Liu Jun said that although Jilin was under his own jurisdiction, he was still a subject of the Qing Dynasty.

Exciting, Cixi suddenly lost the melancholy in her heart, she was still a subject of the Qing Dynasty, and this sentence gave Cixi a stimulant.

"Okay, well, the mourning family wants to reward Liu Jun well." The rebellious ministers and thieves in Cixi's eyes suddenly changed again in Cixi's mind.

"Lord Wang, how do you think you should reward Liu Jun?" Excited, Cixi stood up and smiled and smiled. Walk out of Chuxiu Palace together. Then head to the Imperial Garden.

What to send, looking at Cixi with a happy face now, Yi? Suspicious in her heart, Cixi was a little overjoyed from time to time.

Although Liu Jun said that he was a subject of the Great Qing Dynasty, it was just to give the imperial court a face, what is it really like, Yi? It is clear in my heart that some of the orders of the imperial court will not be implemented in the northeast and Liaodong in the future, and even, where the taxes are, the imperial court will not get a penny from now on.

The two walked to a gazebo, and Cixi turned around to look at Yi? "Did you think of it, the voice was not ordered, and there was a kind of usual inquiry.

"Minions are stupid." Abundant? Keep your head down.

Smiling slightly, Cixi suddenly restored the Eight Banners of the past: "Spread the will of the mourning family, immediately recall Changshun, and quickly ask the Zongren Mansion to choose the daughter of the king of a county and marry Liu Jun." ”

"Bestow...... Marriage?" Abundant? looked at Cixi in amazement.

This marriage, you must know that the Manchus and Han cannot intermarry, and now his fourth sister-in-law actually asked an elder brother to marry a Han, which is really inappropriate.

"Lafayette, give the royal county king Gege to marry Liu Jun, I'm afraid there are some of them."

"Let's do it," Cixi interrupted. And wave your hand.

Waving your hand, that is, the mind has been decided, Yi? Knowing that it was useless to persuade Cixi, he could only frown with doubts and go to the Zongren Mansion to convey the holy decree.

Lushun. It was raining lightly, and it hadn't rained for a long time. The rain washed the air of Lushun again.

In the backyard of the Lushun Headquarters, Liu Jun, who was dressed as a refusal to pay, folded his arms and looked up alone at the dew dripping under the eaves in a daze.

After Li Hongzhang left, Liu Junxin concluded that the imperial court would definitely decide that Jilin would be handed over to his jurisdiction, so if he was attacking, this would not only lose the lives of the soldiers, but also consume the unjust money.

For Jilin, which was about to be his own territory, Liu Jun asked Zhong Lin to draft a telegram less than an hour after Li Hongzhang left, ordering all the troops entering Jilin to stop attacking, and to be stationed on the spot to recuperate. Wait for the command.

However, four days have passed, and Liu Jun is a little worried about whether the imperial court is playing tricks with him.

Whether to attack again or not, Liu Jun is now difficult to decide.

Well, Liu Junen took a moment, turned his head and saw Li Maolian draped a cloak on himself and handed himself a teacup.

Li Maolian smiled slightly, and two dimples appeared on her cheeks at once: "It's raining, the weather is getting colder, you wear so thin, and you don't go into the house, I'm worried that you will catch a cold, so I brought you a cloak and hot tea." ”

At this, Liu Jun took the hot tea in Li Maolian's hand, and hugged Li Maolian in his arms with a smile.

The two are enjoying the tenderness of this rainy day.

"Head ......" Zhong Lin suddenly broke in, and when he saw Liu Jun hugging Li Maolian and kissing, he immediately said, "I didn't see anything." ”

Grass and mud horses, Liu Jun glared at Zhong Lin unhappily.

Li Maolian blushed slightly, and wanted to struggle to leave, but Liu Jun just wouldn't let go.

"Head, there's a telegram from Tianjin." Zhong Lin didn't seem to see it, and as soon as he arrived in front of Liu Jun, he took out a telegram from his coat pocket and handed it out.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

"The imperial court has ordered that the territory under the jurisdiction of General Jilin shall be under your jurisdiction, and at the same time, General Changshun of Jilin has been recalled."

Phew, Liu Jun let out a long breath, and the stone in his heart fell to the ground.

Picking up the teacup and taking a sip, he found that Zhong Lin was constantly squirming his throat and biting his lip.

It's strange, what's wrong with this person, how can he babble and vomit, and he always looks at Li Maolian, there is something that his daughter-in-law can't listen to. "She's your sister-in-law, there's nothing you can't say to her face." Seeing Zhong Lin constantly looking at Li Maolian on the side, Liu Jun was a little unhappy

Whew, blowing open the end of the tea leaves, Liu Jun glanced at Zhong Lin. Then took a sip of tea.

"Head, the imperial court has chosen a Gege to marry you, and you will come to Lushun soon to complete the marriage."

Burst. Liu Jun spit out the tea that he hadn't swallowed yet, and looked at Zhong Lin who had been petrified with wide eyes

"What do you say?"
