C623 Court Debate (2/2)
”When Foreign ministers heard that the Empress Dowager of the East wanted to live in Jingshan for the rest of the year, and that the Jingshan's palace has been in disrepair for a long time, he no longer wanted to talk to the empress dowager about the empress dowager's identity. We hereby offer you one million eagles to repair the empress dowager's palace and plant flowers, please accept them!”
Xiao Letian giving him money was a small matter, regardless of whether it was a million or two million, it was not important. The key was, what was Empress Dowager of the East trying to do? The dignified empress dowager didn't live in the Forbidden City, he lived in the Jingshan. Was this the prelude to splitting the imperial government?
Weng Tonghe gave a look to his subordinates, and the group of Han Lin stepped out as if they were on stimulants.
”No, the empress dowager definitely can't. Jingshan is just a garden that the imperial family would occasionally visit. In the end, it's just an extension of the imperial garden. It's nothing much to walk around normally, but living here often isn't polite!”
”Empress Dowager, please reconsider. If the empress dowager leaves the palace, the imperial court will only suspect that there is a barrier between the empress dowagers s. By then, the people's hearts will be unsettled!”
”That's right, especially since the Jingshan is a land of death, this place is ominous …”
Hearing the obstruction of the Qing Liu group, Ci An's face became gloomy, what was he doing being framed by Ci Xi? He was trapped on top of the Jingshan and couldn't even take a sip of tea, what were you guys doing here? Right now, I wants to go out and take shelter, but you actually jumped out to point fingers?
Good, good, good. You really are I's good subjects. Thinking about that, Ci An turned and smiled at Ci Xi: ”Sister, looks like none of the court officials are willing to let sister go out and take shelter. What do you think we should do?”
When Ci Xi heard this,he did not want to bring up Ci An so quickly. ”Why is it like this, if Big Sis wants to live in Jingshan, she must like the beautiful scenery of the Jingshan, and the bright North Sea, so long as Big Sis is is in a good mood, then it's little Sis's good fortune!”
”Sister still has two hundred thousand taels of silver in private money. Giving it to sister can be considered as sister's filial piety …”
Ci Xi scolded in his heart, but he still had to swallow his bitter water. After going through the changes in her body, Ci An had become completely different from before, no longer as humble as before.
If Ci Xi did not agree to Ci An's conditions, then Ci An would not accept the reason for the palace change.
With the support of the new army, the power of the Qing Dynasty, and the encouragement from the Xiangjun Group, Ci An's strength was already far greater than Ci Xi's. Just look at the soldiers in Ci Xi's hands, Xiao Letian had already killed all of the elites, while the rest had become laborers.
The reason why Ci An was able to pin this crime on An Dehai and Sister Wu was already because of the greater picture. If Ci An didn't know how to retreat and advance like this, then she wouldn't have been able to control the imperial government until he died in his real history.
Weng Tonghe and the others felt frustrated. Grand Commission had not won even a single time, as if the other officials had abandoned them. Those allies in the past all looked at them with twinkling eyes, not daring to look him in the eye. Weng Tonghe knew about them and how they betrayed his faith.
Qing Liu could not even guess how much money Xiao Letian had spent in this secret period of time. The amount of money he had spent was almost as much as Liu Hai had spent, and the property in the sulcus longus was already sold half-way along with his investment, forming a very strong business empire. Under the operation of the Letian Firm, he had already split the first dividend.
The Great Clan Elder, the great officials of the Chinese Officer, who would go against the money? As long as Xiao Letian did not rebel, and as long as his justice was not lost, everyone would sleep with their heads covered.
Only Qing Liu was able to jump up and down, the empress dowager moved her palace, and in the end, passed through with the congratulations of the majority of the court officials. Weng Tonghe was so angry that his head started to spin.
”Is he going to lose? How could he not win even one match!? ”Is he really going to lose …”
Time passed minute after minute, Prince Kung proposed for the imperial government to train his western style army, and for no reason to discuss, just based on the fighting strength of the New Year's training at Supreme Harmony Hall, Manchu's own western style army had to train.
After that, there were reports about additional investments in the Shanghai and Guangzhou special zones, which were unanimously approved by the imperial government. It seemed that Xiao Letian's sudden rise in power had really intimidated a lot of officials.
It was already close to noon. The hungry officials felt like it was about time for lunch. They estimated that everyone would leave soon.
Everyone was waiting for the final suggestion. That was, when would Xiao Letian's new army leave the capital.
After a short period of silence, the Prince Qing Yi Yong, who was the cannon of the imperial family, finally opened his mouth. ”Reporting to Your Majesty and the empress dowager, Prime Minister Xiao Letian's new army has already stayed in the capital for several months. The soldiers of the Subordinate States have taken over the defense of the Great Qing Empire, this is truly against the rules! ”
”Even if it's urgent, we still have to have something!”
When Prince Ching's words came out, the entire hall was deathly silent.
