C568 Ci Ans imperial decree (1/2)
Within Jingshan, within the Kiki's tower, it was unknown when the wind had started blowing, but the two windows that were not properly closed had been slammed open, waking up those stupefied faces.
”Xiao Letian did not kill an official? And no expulsion? Are you kidding me? ” Ci An said coldly.
At this time, Qing San Ye seemed to have relaxed, the stone he was worried about had finally landed safely.
”Yes, Majesty! Xiao Letian did not kill the officials, nor did he rebel. He still kept the Tanggu under the control of the officials of the Qing Dynasty, the imperial government can still collect taxes, and the decree can still be passed down. The only thing that changed was the garrison. ”
”Xiao Letian has been staying at the military grain city... All the way to the Battalion City Line, the New Army took over the local defense … ”
”Is this not rebellion, or what?” Old Zu Bo was furious.
”The prime minister said it very clearly. The purpose of taking over the defense is to protect the people …” Hairy # 2 said coldly, ”Maylor died miserably under the slaughter blade of the Tanggu, leading thousands of soldiers and robbing thousands of civilians. Tens of thousands of people were displaced as refugees … ”The Prime Minister is only doing so to protect the citizens …”
”Bullshit!” The Old Ancestor's hair was all standing on end. ”Which family's Prime Minister is he?” When had the Great Qing ever conferred this official position? ”The people of Great Qing have their own army to protect us …”
”But the troops of the Great Qing were killing the citizens of the Great Qing! This was the truth of Tie Zheng's words … Old Ancestor, you are also a person who roamed everywhere. Do you dare to touch your chest and swear that the soldiers of the Great Qing have not massacred the people of Great Qing? ”
”Swear! You swear by all the ancestors of your art... I want to see if you dare to say something heartless! ”
”You …” He had worked all his life for the imperial family, and no matter how dangerous the situation was, he had always been there. He had even personally witnessed the brazen killing of civilians.
With Maylor's temperament, the massacre of the citizens was most likely true.
”Enough! Keep your mouths shut... I has a headache! ” Ci An rubbed his temples in pain.
At this time, a faint voice sounded out from behind the crowd. It turned out that Fu Hui had woken up. ”Empress Dowager, this servant is willing to swear on the honor of our ancestors that my man …” ”They won't rebel!”
Fu Hui struggled up to fight, and spoke with determination: ”My man, is a strange man that is rarely seen in the world, what he resists is the injustice of this world, the ugliness of the world, and he himself doesn't have the ambition to become emperor!”
”To the court that is leaking air everywhere, my man is a medicine, not a poison. If you accept my man, the court will definitely vomit and be dizzy. It will definitely be difficult to live and die …” But I won't die! ”
”If we continue to walk the same path as before, we might even learn from my elder cousin, our Empress Dowager Xi … Manchu might still have tens of years of peace and quiet tea, but that tea was laced with poison, and sooner or later, we will all die! ”
”Atrocious words, truly frightening words! You, Fu Hui, are also an important figure in the Three Flags, how did you let Xiao Letian brainwash you to such an extent? ” The Old Ancestor was so angry that his beard began to tremble.
The hesitation in Ci An's eyes became even stronger, ”Ferocious medicine? Poison? Do you mean Xiao Letian is better for our Manchu? ”
At this moment, Mao suddenly spoke up. ”This matter is urgent. This servant has to tell the empress dowager something else …” ”We really don't have much time left in the Qing Dynasty. If we don't change things soon, we might lose the Central Plains and the mountains. Even the Imperial Court might not be able to protect us …”
Hairy Two flipped through the newspapers on the table and found a very small piece of tofu. On it was a statement that the British Prime Minister welcomed Xiao Letian to Europe.
”Empress Dowager, don't underestimate this statement. The story is really deep!” Why did the Englishman throw out an olive branch at Xiao Letian? Isn't it all because we were forced to retreat in Xinjiang, allowing Yaqub to reap the benefits time and time again? Isn't it just the Russian!?
”The British and the Russia are originally enemies. Facing the Russian's overbearing attacks, they are not strong enough. After all, the British are the strong navy and weak army! That's why they have to support other people to fight against the Russian … ”
”We can't clear this place, the British won't be counting on us, and the other candidates aren't even suitable either. In the end, the British actually supported Yaqub, offering a lot of money and Gun s, wanting to dig Yaqub out from the Russian's clutches.”
The British have already treated the Prime Minister as a chess piece for East Asia, an important chess piece that can support and fight against the Russian! ”Heh heh, poor princes of the imperial court, has anyone analyzed this point?”
”In addition, there is a top secret intelligence report that I want to divulge to the empress dowager … ”The Tsar of Moscow has already started to prepare the Trans-Siberian Railway …”
”From Moscow, head east, through the mountains, dense forests, and eternal frozen lands until the Haishenwai. godfather once said that once this road is built, it can be completed in twenty years …”
