Finally came to the news, Zaitao, who heard this, suddenly took the telegram from Zhang Zhidong's hand, and after reading it carefully, Zaitao put the telegram on the table and looked at Zhang Zhidong in front of him: "Eight million, it's too much, will Liaodong accept our conditions?" ”

What eight million, although Zhang Zhidong brought this telegram, but he didn't read the contents, and now seeing Zaitao say this, Zhang Zhidong looked puzzled, and then picked up the telegram from the table. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Eight million, this should not be much, you must know that once the imperial court abdicates, there are many seven aunts and eight masters, these royal personnel, there are not a few people who have the ability, they all need this money to live for the time being, so Zhang Zhidong saw that the imperial court revised the above four million to eight million, not that the imperial court wanted to embarrass Liaodong.

"This is not much, we can say our reasons tomorrow, I think, Liaodong will agree to this request." After Zhang Zhidong finished speaking, he shifted his eyes to Zaitao and Songpan next to him, and after seeing that both of them nodded, Zhang Zhidong breathed a sigh of relief, and then picked up the tea from the side.

That is, Zhang Zhidong knocked on the door for only fifteen minutes, and in the Summer Palace in Beijing, Liu Jun's door suddenly sounded, which was accompanied by Zhong Lin's shout: "Head, open the door, open the door, emergency." Emergency. ”

Liu Jun is a little tired today, the school is on vacation, his four wives and six children are all having dinner today, among which Liu Jun inevitably drank a few glasses. Now the family, in addition to Zheng Yiqian and Aixinjue Luo Ruojing by their side, Wu Xiaoyan serves as the president of Lushun Military Medical University. Li Maolian is almost by Li Hongzhang's side, and generally speaking, in a year, the family will not be together for more than three months.

"Come on, come on, you be gentle, and wake up my child in a while." Liu Jun, who was muttering, got up from the bed, turned on the electric light and pushed the door open in a daze.

"Why didn't you come here without wearing a coat," Liu Jun, who opened the door, was startled, and after he carefully looked at Zhong Lin in front of him, he found that Zhong Lin not only did not wear a coat, but also came with slippers that he was wearing.

"Head, I don't want to do this either, you let me in first?" Once the weather in Beijing is past 12 o'clock in the evening, the temperature will change, so Zhong Lin's lips are already purple. Said tremblingly.

Should let him in, otherwise Zheng Mei would find trouble for herself, thinking of this, Liu Jun opened the door and let Zhong Lin walk in.

It was also at this time that Zheng Yiqian, who heard the movement, also got dressed and walked out of the house, tonight, Liu Jun is Aixinjue Luo Ruojing. It's not in Zheng Yiqian's.

"Don't make tea, who drinks tea in the big night." Seeing Zheng Yiqian walking aisle, who was dressed, Liu Jun hurriedly finished speaking, and then listened to the movement inside, and there was no movement inside, which showed that the children were not woken up.

"Let's go to the study." Knowing that it was too loud here, Liu Jun looked at it, then stood up, gently pushed open the door of the room, and then walked to the study next door.

After entering the study and turning on the electric light inside, Liu Jun asked Zhong Lin in front of him: "So anxious, what's wrong?" ”

"Head, Chengdu called back to Baoji tonight, they have agreed to negotiate, but in some aspects, certain changes have been made." After speaking, Zhong Lin handed the telegram in his hand to Liu Jun, who was already sitting in the chair, and then said, "This is the decipherment content." ”

I didn't want to look at Liu Jun, so Liu Jun wanted to know what the result was.

Zhong Lin also knew that Liu Jun would not read the contents of the telegram, he thought for a while, and then said: "Head, there is probably no change, but there are certain changes in the living treatment and the recovery of the Chengdu Palace. ”

There is a change, what a change, Liu Jun, who heard this, took the telegram from the side and began to watch.

Four million to eight million. Fifteen years to twenty years, this Cixi can be regarded as making the last effort for the Qing Dynasty, seeing this, Liu Jun smiled helplessly, and then handed the telegram in his hand to Zheng Yiqian in front of him, and said to Zhong Lin: "You go and find the old man." ”

Such an important matter, of course, I have to discuss it with Li Hongzhang before I can finalize it, otherwise, I may make a wrong step, and the peace that I finally came to is gone.

"Got it." Zhong Lin nodded, and then was about to leave.

"Come back, go to my room, change your clothes, and go again." Liu Jun really couldn't get used to seeing Zhong Lin pass like this, so when he saw that Zhong Lin was about to run, Liu Jun hurriedly said.

Zhong Lin grinned, then quickly ran out and headed for Liu Jun's bedroom.

"What do you think of the increase to eight million?" After Zhong Lin left, Liu Jun asked Zheng Yiqian next to him.

Zheng Yiqian still has a certain understanding of finances, and also has some understanding of the personnel of the imperial court, so after looking down and thinking for a while, Zheng Yiqian said: "Eight million, Cixi's request is not too much, she didn't give us a lion to open her mouth." ”

This, Liu Jun, who heard this, already understood what Zheng Yiqian meant, and after nodding slightly, Liu Jun motioned to Zheng Yiqian to prepare some tea, and motioned to Xiang'er to get up quickly and make something to eat.

About half an hour later, there was a sound of Li Hongzhang muttering outside, this old man was also pitiful, not long after he fell asleep, he was called up by Zhong Lin, Zhong Lin didn't tell Li Hongzhang a word of truth along the way, which made Li Hongzhang confused, and kept complaining on the road that Liu Jun was torturing his old bones.

"You're here, old man." Liu Jun, who heard Li Hongzhang's complaint, grinned, walked out and took Li Hongzhang over, and then sat on the sofa on the side.

Now the wine and food have been set up here, and these are all made urgently by Xiang'er.

"I told me that I wasn't here to eat, that I didn't have the habit of eating at night. Back then, it was just eating flowers and wine. Li Hongzhang muttered and said everything that happened back then.

I really didn't let him come to eat and drink today, Liu Jun, who heard this, smiled bitterly, and waited until Li Hongzhang drank the tea, Liu Jun handed the telegram he put aside to Li Hongzhang and said: "Old man, take a look, I am mainly here to discuss this matter with you today." ”

What's the matter, Li Hongzhang, who heard this, took the telegram, carefully read the content on it, and then said: "I have to eat this wine tonight." ”
