Volume 4 The Battle of Unification Chapter 620 Digging Cixi's Grave
Wang Maoru and Wu Qiuyue also laughed, but Wu Qiuyue was wearing a European waist-cinching evening dress, which was similar to the wedding dresses of later generations, and her belly tightened when she laughed, and all European nobles had to smile implicitly, Wu Qiuyue was born as a bandit, and she must laugh heartily when she laughed. It's a pity that I tightened the strings, and I couldn't laugh when I laughed, but I laughed hideously.
Zhongquan hurriedly said: "Is it good for the general's wife to be good, or not as good as the cheongsam of our Qing Dynasty, I have craftsmen in my family, I will make a set of cheongsam for my wife to match yours, which is as luxurious as the ladies in the palace." This sunset skirt, showing the arms, is really indecent, indecent. ”
Wang Maoru was about to say, but Wu Qiuyue said: "I don't like this bare arm either." Wang Maoru glared at her and said, "Gentlemen speak, old ladies don't intervene." Wu Qiuyue hurriedly pursed her lips and sat aside honestly.
Zhongquan immediately stretched out his thumb to Wang Maoru and said: "General Shangwu has a way to train his wife, admire and admire." ”
Wang Maoru smiled bitterly, I don't know what to say to him, this is nothing, the so-called Tao is different and does not conspire with each other, and the words are not more than half a sentence. It is true that Wang Maoru and Pu Ji, the banner people, are friends, but they are not so friendly to all the banner people, he is a human interaction, not a national interaction. However, this Zhongquan is a native of Beijing, and he is the most capable, so he immediately took the initiative to speak, and said: "General Shangwu is the first marshal of our Republic of China, if you are placed in the Qing Dynasty, you are another Zhongtang-level talent like Zeng Guofan." ”
Wang Maoru said coldly: "The former Qing Dynasty has disappeared, so it's better not to miss Prince Rui." ”
Zhongquan said: "Yes, yes, yes." If I don't miss it, I'll just say it casually. My ancestors lacked virtue. Make a text prison and don't let people talk nonsense, but isn't it the Republic of China? Our Republic of China is free speech, let's say so, hey! Freedom of speech, no crime. ”
Wang Maoru listened to him scold his ancestors, and listened to a prince of the previous dynasty talk about postmodern things such as freedom of speech, and he couldn't laugh anymore. The heart said that this person was a living treasure, so he nodded. He nodded and thought that Zhongquan thought that he liked to listen to his chat, so the conversation box couldn't stop, and he kept talking. This Beijinger's ability to Kan Dashan is really better than that of fans in other places, and it is a chat whether he understands it or not for 5,000 years. However, it is precisely because Beijingers love to chat and talk too much, that the so-called too much talk will be lost. In modern times, there are very few Beijingers who are officials, and if they talk too much, they will definitely be caught, attacked, and impeached.
Zhongquan said again: "Generalissimo, let me tell you a secret, no one knows this secret, so I'll sue you alone." ”
Wang Maoru was curious: "What secret?" ”
"Hehe, this secret is good." Zhongquan hurriedly leaned over. However, Wang Maoru smelled a big smell of smoke, retreated, and said, "Let's just say so." ”
"The wall has ears." Zhongquan said in a low voice, "You don't know, my secret. Not only can't others say it, but even we flag people can't say it. ”
Wang Maoru Wu Qiuyue smiled and said, "This is my wife." It's okay. ”
Wu Qiuyue said angrily: "What is the secret, it is mysterious, I don't want to listen to it." He turned his head, but he still stretched out his ears, no matter how complicated a woman's sex is, the nature of gossip has not changed.
Zhongquan said in a low voice: "I can say it, this secret is about the previous dynasty, does the generalissimo know, who is the richest person in the previous dynasty?" ”
"Naturally, it's Cixi." Wang Mao Ruxin said that you won't encourage me to dig Cixi's grave, right? Someone has done this, the Tanglin thief Sun Dianying, the richest person in the Northwest Army.
Unexpectedly, Wang Maoru guessed correctly, this Zhongquan came to agitate to dig Cixi's tomb, so he said that Cixi's funeral items were all over the place, and whispered why the first day of the war was defeated, whether it was really spent in the Old Summer Palace, naturally not, but hid it for a funeral, and the original specifications were recorded in the clan file, nearly 100 million taels of silver funeral items.
Wang Maoru expressed skepticism, 100 million taels of silver is too exaggerated, but there should be 10 million. Zhongquan said: "You don't understand the rules of the Internal Affairs Bureau, nearly 100 million taels is 10 million, the Internal Affairs Office does not stretch out its hand, Kaka oil, and it is exploited layer by layer, and 100 million taels of silver can only cost 10 million." Who is the richest person in Beijing, Chongjin, the great eunuch of the former dynasty, is the richest, he was the great eunuch of the Internal Affairs Government at the beginning. If it weren't for his identity, he would have been a member of parliament. It's really hateful that we clans can't get a penny. The coffin of Cixi is worth millions, not to mention the funeral goods inside, and one piece is tens of thousands of silver dollars. ”
Wang Maoru listened to Zhongquan's chat just to pass the time, I didn't expect this old man to be poor and crazy, and he actually started the idea of a dead man, but what he said was also reasonable, and Prince Rui's lineage has always been rejected by the Qing Dynasty, the first Prince Rui is Dolgon, that is the rebel head, almost more than the guy on the throne. So much so that in the future, Prince Rui will not be allowed to do anything except eat, drink and have fun. In Zhongquan's generation, there is no salary, no money for eating, drinking and playing, and only then did he think of such a trick under embarrassment. The purpose of Zhongquan's visit today is not to be the ambassador of the United States, but to discuss with Wang Maoru to dig a grave. Digging Cixi's mausoleum is such a big event, Zhongquan really doesn't have the courage to do it himself, and he is even more afraid of being reported when he finds others, so he can only find the richest king
Maoru, Xiaozhi is moved by emotion and reason, saying that these things are all national, and they can't be buried with a person.
Hearing that Zhongquan was going to dig Cixi's grave, Wang Maoru couldn't help laughing, this Zhongquan is really a living treasure, just scold his ancestors, even dare to dig the ancestral tombs, it's really ...... But think about the only daughters born with golden keys in later generations, some girls beat their parents on the street, just because their parents didn't give pocket money, and a little boy who played games, because his grandfather didn't give him money for the game, actually killed his grandfather and broke his body.
Zhongquan is also such a pampered child, compared with those who killed their fathers and mothers in later generations, Zhongquan did not go too far. After all, Cixi's mausoleum was not the mausoleum of Prince Rui's family, and it was just a grave dug up by a distant relative's house. Wang Maoru said to Zhongquan that I would consider it, and at this time, it would damage my reputation and I had to think about it in the long run. Zhongquan hurriedly said okay, I can wait, I can wait, what is the matter with Xiushuai in the future, what is needed, as long as I am informed, I Zhongquan will definitely go to the soup to fight the fire. Wang Mao Ruxin said in his heart What can I ask you for, don't say it, it won't be long before there will be a major matter of life and death begging for this sect's living treasure.
When Dr. Schulman walked to the front, Wang Maoru immediately waved his hand at Zhongquan and said, "Sorry, I didn't accompany you." Zhongquan was foaming at the mouth and talking wonderfully, and when he looked up, the obedient person was gone, and he was disappointed in his heart, but fortunately, he had a relationship with General Shangwu, except for digging graves together, he couldn't say it, and he could blow it when he went back in the future.
This banquet was not only for Ambassador Klein's farewell, but also for Dr. Schulman's inauguration, so the whole process was particularly grand, except for Zhongquan's living treasure, perhaps Schulman felt that there should be a royal representative to attend, but he did not think that this royal representative was worthless in China.
First of all, the U.S. Minister Counselor announced the opening of the banquet and told the story of Ambassador Klein's two years in China, after which Klein's testimonials, and then the speeches of other delegates, the Beiyang government sent Minister of Internal Affairs Tian Wenlie to thank Klein on behalf of the Chinese government, and then Klein's friend, Belgian Ambassador to China Joe Cole, regretted Klein's retirement and his contributions in China. Wang Maoru sat down and said in his heart that not only Chinese love to engage in form, but also foreigners are not bad, and the form is also quite interesting. The next two were Klein's own testimonials, and after Klein's speech, he handed over the badge representing the ambassador to China to Dr. Schulman.
Dr. Schulman officially assumed the position of U.S. Ambassador to China, and expressed the U.S. government's support and expectation for China to be a stable and prosperous country, as well as China's economic and military reforms.
Everyone here hears a meaning, that is, the US government supports the military reform of the Chinese government, and the so-called military reform is not the restructuring of the national defense force. The fact that the U.S. government stands behind Wang Maoru is very jealous of the Japanese, who have always believed that Wang Maoru is supported by Japan.
But these powers were wrong, Wang Maoru would not be appointed by anyone, he was just using the Japanese, the Americans and the British.
Before Ambassador Shulman announced the official start of the banquet, young people from embassies from various countries took the opportunity to communicate and get to know each other. Wang Maoru communicated with them one by one, and between the cups and cups, he himself felt that his laughter was a little numb. Wu Qiuyue was also too tired, Wang Maoru saw that she was tired, and took advantage of the rest to smile and said, "How can a woman feel tired?" ”
Wu Qiuyue said: "This woman is not a steel machine, she will naturally be tired, not physically tired, she is too mentally tired, I think I am not suitable for this kind of occasion." Smiling all the way with people I don't know, what makes me most angry is that I can't understand what they're saying, what you're talking to them. I'm smiling silly, don't you think I'm not a woman? ”
Wang Maoru nodded and smiled: "Yes, the heroine should be happy to take revenge and crisscross the rivers and lakes." Wu Qiuyue slapped him with a smile, and Wang Maoru said again: "If you are tired, go back, I still have to talk to these people about international countries, things are very cumbersome and complicated." Wu Qiuyue said: "No, in case you are in danger, I can still protect you." Wang Maoru squinted his eyes and said, "I let women protect?" That's useless either. ”
Wu Qiuyue said with concern: "Don't be strong, okay." ”
Wang Maoru said: "Don't you know that I used to have a nickname called Sharpshooter Scholar in Zhili?" ”
Wu Qiuyue teased: "The sharpshooter scholar also has to have a gun, if the thief is close, you can't help it, let alone the thief, even if we fight a dozen times, you can't beat me." ”
Wang Maoru whispered in her ear: "Who said I don't have a gun, I brought it, it's still a long spear, we both use it every night." ”
Wu Qiuyue's face suddenly turned red, snorted, and said, "It's not serious, hmph, I'll ignore you, I'll go back and rest." ”
Wang Maoru laughed, and instructed Wang Ke to send the sixth lady Wu Qiuyue back, and he continued to chat with everyone and talk about the international form. (To be continued.)
