74. Shanghai at Sea (3)

Huang Yun rose, and then slowly landed, surrounded by the guards and eunuchs and palace maids, the Empress Dowager Cixi slowly walked down, the ministers bowed and saluted, the Empress Dowager Cixi stepped on the Wusong Wharf, looked around with a smile, nodded, "I haven't seen you for more than ten years, here in Shanghai, it looks a lot more prosperous." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

The Empress Dowager Cixi beckoned, Li Lianying comprehended and shouted: "The governor of Shanghai is here!" ”

Li Hongzhang sighed in his heart, the governor of Shanghai hurriedly went out of work to say hello, the Empress Dowager Cixi asked about the construction and development of Shanghai, nodded and encouraged, "The national foreign affairs look at the southeast, the southeast foreign affairs look at Shanghai, Shanghai is done well, the whole country has an example to follow, only then there is a goal to catch up, as long as you do a good job in Shanghai here, this credit is the first in the world." ”

The praise of heaven is very rare, the governor of Shanghai is grateful, and hurriedly knelt down to thank him, and the Empress Dowager Cixi nodded to Liu Kunyi and Li Hongzhang, and did not speak, but walked straight across the red carpet and entered the small building of the temporary Yanqi.

After the establishment of Shanghai Province, which governor is in charge, has been a matter of endless debate, Li Hongzhang in Shanghai, enough to be able to stand with the two rivers and Zhejiang and Fujian, at that time he was between Zeng Guofan in Liangjiang and Zuo Zongtang in Zhejiang and Fujian, no one can force him to throw himself to his side, but after he transferred to Zhejiang and Fujian, the butt decided to head and seek his government in his position, so he could not escape from Shanghai in his palm, Liu Kun, the governor of Liangjiang, was not as good as Li Hongzhang, so he fought in the ring for a few years, and fought openly and secretly. Shanghai Province was still under the jurisdiction of the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian. Today, the Empress Dowager Cixi first talked to the Shanghai governor, but did not directly talk to herself, the boss of the Shanghai governor, which shows that there are some bad tendencies.

Li Hongzhang sounded the alarm bell in his heart, but his face was not revealed at all, together with Liu Kunyi, accompanied by several ministers of military aircraft to Yanqi's small building, ready for the Empress Dowager Cixi to call up, the small building here has been taken over by the central people a few days ago, no one is allowed to approach, even Li Hongzhang does not know how to defend here, a few people hung their hands and waited outside for a while, but no one was called first, but a few people came out of it, seeing the first person, not only Li Hongzhang's face could not help but change greatly, Dong Yuanol and Qinghai, who were officials in the court during the Xianfeng period, were even more likely to scream. A gray-haired old man walked out of it, he was wearing ordinary coarse cloth clothes, but the momentum was amazing, there was a faint sense of persecution, hooked nose, eyes were fierce, two thick and black eyebrows were very eye-catching, it turned out to be Su Shun who was exiled to Qinzhou during the coup d'Γ©tat of Qixiang!

Su Shun is the former sworn enemy of the Empress Dowager Cixi! Su Shun, who had already made up his mind that he would never return after being pardoned, why did he appear here!

This is by no means to say that surprise can explain the mood, it can only be said that the ministers are too shocked, and for a while, there are no people who even talk to each other, and the people who know Su Shun's identity are so shocked that they lose their voices, and Qinghai stammered, "Su Shun? Why are you here? ”

Su Shun bowed his hand slightly towards Qinghai, "Say hello to Qingzhongtang." This is the Queen Mother's summons," Su Shun's face was very indifferent, "so I came to meet me." ”

After saying this, Su Shun didn't continue to explain anything, "I'll retire first." He glanced at Guo Songtao, who was happy and sad with tears in his eyes, nodded slightly, and left with a eunuch, Li Hongzhang obviously also knew the eunuch, and he was a legendary figure in the past, An Dehai, the former queen mother's favorite minister who was assigned to Hepu to raise pearls.

In this world, Li Hongzhang shook his head slightly, but he was afraid that it would be troublesome again. At this time, there seemed to be a noise not far away, Li Hongzhang frowned, and after a while, a policeman in a uniform ran over quickly, "Qiqi Governor and my lords, there is a group of Japanese people making noise outside, including the Japanese consul in Shanghai. ”

"Call me out," Li Hongzhang said unhappily, "At this time, it is their turn to be presumptuous!" ”

"Wait," Guo Songtao held back the tears in his eyes, he was also a member of the staff under Sushun in the past, the official document framed Zuo Zongtang in the past, it was he who ran in it, said that Su Shun was moved, and the Empress Dowager Cixi spoke in front of Emperor Xianfeng, so he turned around, this is a related person, suddenly met here, he couldn't help but be a little excited, at this time he settled down, the Japanese affairs, he was clear, said indifferently, but the voice was still a little awkward, "The Japanese things, I already know, let them stay outside first, When Xisheng called, it was not too late to decide on countermeasures and deal with it. ”

Su Shun got out of the dock, parted ways with An Dehai, and got into the carriage allocated to him by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the carriage already had a complete set of official mansions, court beads, top wear, official hats, court boots, etc. placed there, Su Shun spread out the court clothes and looked, there was a brocade chicken embroidered on it, this is obviously the uniform of the second grade official, he smiled disdainfully, threw it aside, crossed Erlang's legs, lay on his back on the carriage, the carriage slowly drove forward, he lay down and thought about it for a while, and took two bright yellow scrolls from his sleeve. I touched it and remembered the scene I had just met with a mortal enemy I hadn't seen for twenty years.

Su Shun was obviously brought here a long time ago, just waiting for the Empress Dowager Cixi to arrive, and immediately met, Su Shun arrived at the main hall, and the Empress Dowager Cixi sat on the throne, Su Shun hesitated for a while, but still threw his sleeves and knelt down and shouted long live.

The Empress Dowager Cixi didn't know what she was thinking, and after a while, she nodded to Wang Kaiyun who was accompanying her, "Your errand is good, Su Shun, I haven't seen you for so many years, but I don't know if I want to go back to the court on an errand?" ”

The Empress Dowager Cixi felt a little embarrassed, so she didn't say any nonsense, and asked Su Shun directly, Su Shun said coldly, "The Empress Dowager threatened Duanhua Zaiyuan's life, and the slaves didn't dare not want to." ”

"It's best if you think so," Empress Dowager Cixi breathed a sigh of relief, obviously the previous preparations were in place, although Su Shun was still arrogant, but not rude, at his current age, he was really unwilling to do the things of Corporal Lixian, and he was more likely to be annoyed and angry than before, if Su Shun did not give himself face, this consequence was afraid that it would be very serious.

Now this is the best, the Empress Dowager Cixi put down a small stone in her heart, she beckoned to Li Lianying, Li Lianying took out two bright yellow scrolls from her sleeves, and dedicated her hands to Su Shun, "I have left you three positions, one is the Zongren Mansion, one is the Hubu Shangshu, and the other is the Imperial History of the Left Capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate." Later, I thought about it, it is better to settle on one first, and you will get tired of the other later, and it will not be too late to change it. What do you think? ”

PS: I need to think about ending the book in due time.,Because the subscription has dropped by about half in half a month.,But I think the recent plot is okay.,I don't know why.,Probably everyone doesn't like it.。 Although I don't expect this book to make money, the lack of readers is a flaw, and it's impossible to say that giving is not proportional to what you get, especially now, if there is a better way to live, I should put an end to this persistence. Let's give some advice. (To be continued.) )
