Li Yu's lips were indeed as her name, and she was like a carp's lips, but she was standing upright. Her hair was like a carp's lips, but she was a little shorter. When she saw her, she was standing among the girls and looking around. She occasionally recited a poem and sang a few lines, and played with Zhang Liangying and Huang Yali and Li Jia who were beside her.

Xiao Dezi and I were hiding from the garden door, watching from a distance. Xiao Dezi pointed out that this was who, who was who, who was who. After his guidance, I also found that Li Yuqian looked like a small group, and she was about to part with another group not far away. She sang the song and sang it.

One of the big babies in the group was He Jie. Zhou Bishang, who was smiling foolishly as he was beside him, didn't know what he was saying. His smile was very presumptuous, and he really didn't know how the family disciplined him.

I frowned and said to Xiao Dezi, "Did no one in the Interior Department teach them the rules? They all look like tomboys."

Xiao Dezi smiled flatteringly and was about to explain, but I had already coughed lightly, so he planned to go into the garden to take a closer look. I have no interest in these tomboys, so I can just send them to any prince. Men who can digest such women are not ordinary people. Then I thought about it, it was no wonder that their parents were willing to send them all the way to Beijing. No wonder, this year is the first year that Manchu and Han officials voluntarily send their daughters to the palace. The rules were first set, and there would naturally be strange things, so I felt relieved when I thought about it.

Just as he was about to enter the garden, Xiao Dezi behind him looked sharp-eyed. He saw Kou Liancai running from afar, so he reminded him. When I looked back, Kou Liancai ran to me panting and stopped and said, "Your Majesty, I have passed the sign outside that I have urgent matters to ask for a visit. I am afraid that I will delay the major matters, so I lost my manners. I heard that the envoy sent by the King of Siam has just arrived in Beijing."

Oh? Siam? Isn’t it Thailand? Is something wrong here again? I took back my steps and previewed the girl’s thoughts. I turned around and was about to leave, but I was seen by a few sharp-eyed girl over there. I knelt down with a look of earth and shouted tremblingly, "I respectfully ask the saints for my respect." I responded vaguely, and arranged for Xiao Dezi to stay and sort out the rules. Even if I come to the palace like this, I will either be annoyed or make a fuss every day.

He shook his head with a wry smile. He returned to Qianqing Palace with Kou Liancai and met Zai Ying. When I saw that there was nothing strange between him, he scolded him lightly: "What's the matter with fuss? There are many beautiful girls in the Cining Garden. If you turn around, go and pick a few of them."

"I thank the emperor for his kindness..." Zaiying smiled and smiled a little, and covered her mouth and said, "After that, the emperor, I heard from the outside that Li Yuli had the most hope, and I also paid 500 taels. If the master really wanted the servant to choose, these servants would not dare to choose. Isn't this a joke about his own money?"

"Come on...", I was so amused and kicked, "What do you want to say to me if you want to see me? Don't mention those tomboys. I look at it and I will send them all to your mansion."

Zaiying couldn't help but burst out laughing and shook her head, then knelt down seriously and said, "Long live my memory, the King of Siam is here in Beijing..."

I nodded, my face also calmed down and said, "When did it happen? Why didn't I attend the funeral ceremony with the Ryukyu envoy?"

"That's what it said. Master, you know that Siam was not my Chinese vassal during the reign of Emperor Daoguang. A few days ago, I said that I wanted to send envoys to participate in the funeral ceremony of Prince Chunxian. Maybe because I had been in the future, I delayed the journey for a few days. I arrived in Beijing yesterday, but I never thought that someone in the General Administration recognized it. The envoy was the King of Siam Zhulalongkorn himself."

"Zhulalongkorn?" I recited this name and remembered Chow Yun-fat's huge and heroic figure. Mr. Chulalongkorn is the eldest son of Mengkong, the Thai king played by Zhou.

"Reply to the emperor's words." Zai Ying bowed and said, "In Siam, all the Siam people are called Emperor Chulalongkorn. When they come to Beijing this time, they naturally dare not add their honor. This person is known to have great ambitions and seems to be quite dissatisfied with the control of Siam by the British and French. Recently, I heard that the Holy Emperor of China is in power, I am afraid that this time I also want to see the prosperity of our heavenly dynasty in person, and it is unknown whether he may return to his vassal in the future."

Well, this should be the case. But this emperor may want to imitate Peter. The king of a country, the white dragon fish suit, has penetrated into other countries, and is quite courageous.

"I want to see him." I nodded and made up my mind: "Siam is in a hurry. If you can get it, it will be of great help to China. Please continue to receive your life in the General Administration. Let him visit Beijing for a few days first, and I will take the time to see him."

"Zha——", Zaiying received the order and was about to leave. I stopped him and said, "Don't be busy. Don't go for nothing if you come. Kou Liancai, take Master Beile to choose a few girls!"

Zai Ying was still happy and thanked her with a smile, so she followed Kou Lian. But I asked someone to get a map in the main hall to study it. If the opportunity was used well, I could join my power on the Indochina Peninsula. Moreover, Myanmar was nominally my vassal at this time. Although Britain had a greater power there, it was now an ally with Britain. In this way, it could form a strategic siege against French Vietnam. At the same time, Thailand's rubber resources can also be used by me. This thing has an incomparable effect on the future industrial development. As I thought about it, I wanted to meet the Thai king faster.

The Beijing craze caused by the talent show is far from gone, and the inns and hotels are full of people. Even the business of various merchants and restaurants is doubled. The bets among the market have also aroused my interest, and I remembered a good recipe for fundraising.

After asking about Shuntian Prefecture and the Ministry of Justice, the funds flow of these spontaneous gambling games can reach millions of taels, which has aroused my interest. Now that there is a bank, it is not enough. The 15th Plan that will be launched from next year requires a large amount of social capital investment. The serious order to raise funds will definitely not be as effective as this method that is popular among the general public. I signaled Shuntian Prefecture to send special personnel to start welfare lottery, use some of the gambling funds to provide pensions to the victims, and take care of some elderly and orphans and other welfare institutions. All the extra money will be handed over to the Royal Bank to support national construction.

I told Shuntian Mansion that their brains were indeed very good. The next day, a lottery model was presented and a basic grass convention was presented. The model was mounted on a thick wooden stick on the bracket, with ten rings on it, and ten branches were divided into them, and the ten heavenly stems were written on it. At first, a hand-cranked method was used to drive the entire model to start rotating. As the rotation became faster and faster, the characters of the ten heavenly stems engraved on it were blurred, and then the power was slowly released. When it was completely still, the joint design on the ring made it necessary that a branch was vertically upward, and ten characters were connected together, such as: Jia, Bing, Ren, Gui, Jia, Ding, Bing, Ji, Xin, Geng, which is the winning order. The total prize is half of the total bet amount, and the number of people is divided, but the cap is 500,000 taels of silver. Of course, if necessary in the future, twelve earthly branches can also be developed and appear in other names.

Lottery also has a slight social anesthetic effect. If the people who are promoted to the dou are a little eager, they will not lose hope. If they do not lose hope, they will not take risks. When I sighed this truth, Liu Guangdi quickly realized it and said, "The emperor is so wise. I believe that the crime will be much less next year."

Although I was a little embarrassed and stole the future things, I looked at him with satisfaction and nodded, "Guangdi, you understand. In this way, you can also focus more on doing integrity for me."

Two days later, he was seen as the King of Thailand, so I naturally wanted to meet him with the etiquette of seeing the monarch of another country, and the ministers in the court were here one by one.

Zhulalonggong was not tall, but his smile on his face was very kingly, his behavior was neither humble nor arrogant, and he was deeply favored by everyone. Moreover, a special ritual also conquered the hearts of all court officials. From a legal perspective, there was no judicious relationship between China and Thailand, and there was no need for him to kneel down to me. However, after he announced the truth, he solemnly knelt on me three times and nine times. The political meaning behind this was very clear - Zhulalonggong was willing to return to the vassal of China.

I couldn't help but be impressed by his demeanor, and the conversation with him was also in a friendly atmosphere. I smiled and signaled to him calmly: "Thai King is here for a long time. Please sit down and come to Beijing in a very private manner. Can you be safe all the way?"

"Thank you for your question." Zhu Lalonggong spoke very well in Chinese. He smiled and thanked me for his question, and thanked Kou Liancai, who brought him a brocade bench, turned to me and bowed slightly, "The atmosphere of China's heavenly dynasty has opened my eyes to my small country. His Majesty the Emperor is so lenient and loving to others, which also makes me understand why he has recovered such an atmosphere in the decades after the war in the previous dynasty. Long live the Emperor, I am a little tribute in the country, and I hope you can accept it with a smile." With a wave of his hand, the servant behind him respectfully presented the gift list.

I laughed and signaled Kou Lian to take it. I said, "The King of Thailand speaks very well in Chinese. From afar, I can see your sincerity. I am very happy. I will bring you back my gifts." As I spoke, I made up my mind to give the popular tomboys from the show girls to the King of Thailand. Thailand may be more suitable for them than China.

There was no way to talk about a lot of content at the ritual meeting. After a grand luncheon, I left the King of Thailand for a private conversation.

"The British are helping you. There are French people in the east. Is the Thai king not having a good life?" I opened the right path and said, "I spread the map in front of him.

"Your Majesty is right." Zhu Lalonggong looked at me with a smile and said, "In fact, the reason why Xiao Wang came to China in person was to seek scriptures from Your Majesty. In the past two years, after Your Majesty took power, China has changed a lot. Our small country is also changing. Xiao Wang has recently abolished slavery, built schools, museums, opened libraries, and built railways. The people hesitated to be the same as Your Majesty, all of which are enlightening the wisdom of the people..." He paused and hesitated and said, "I dare not tell lies in front of Your Majesty. Xiao Wang always thought that one day he could drive away foreign barbarians and restore my old view of Siam. Your Majesty, if one day Siam wants to return to China's arms, will Your Majesty be willing to shelter?"

Seeing that he was so honest, I reached out and shook with him, "I know your difficulties, and my country is also doing the same thing as you. But fortunately, my country is vast and rich in China and a powerful country in the East. It is profitable for foreigners, so foreigners are willing to form an alliance with me, but Siam..."

"This is also the reason why Xiao Wang traveled thousands of miles to China." Zhulalonggong sighed and said, "There are strong barbarians in the south, and your majesty must be a good idea. Luang Prabang, also known as the so-called southern palm of China, will fall into the hands of a legal person when he sees it. Once the southern palm is trapped, the next thing is Siam. If Britain and France fight in Siam, Siam will become a small country, Xiao Wang can't bear to think about it. Xiao Wang apologizes, and Xiao Wang comes here, and he also wants to ask for help from China..."

Nanzhang is Laos. In history, it was indeed 1893, the year after, and it was in the hands of France. As a buffer between Vietnam and Thailand, once Laos falls, Thailand will inevitably be immersed in the drooling of the French. Zhulalongkorn thinks this way. To a certain extent, I also want to thank the veil of the great Eastern powers in Chinese history. Although it is just an illusion, in the eyes of Western colonists, before the Sino-Japanese War of 1895, China still has its own say. If I were to possess Guangxu after the Sino-Japanese War of 1895, I would probably have to change my lifestyle. All the major events will be handed over to Cixi. It would be worth it to choose a few beautiful girls to enter the palace to enjoy it for a few years. But fortunately, I possessed it in 1890...

Thinking of this, he smiled and said, "What is the only crime of the King of Thailand? You have the idea of ​​admiring China. When you have something to do, you will naturally want China to stand out. Besides, even if you don't ask me for this matter, I will not be able to see my Chinese vassal state fall into the hands of barbarians. Don't worry, I will do something."

Of course, I am not just so easy to talk to, I also have my requirements.

"As for returning to the vassal state, I promise you that when I resolve the matter between the law and the barbarians, I will send envoys to see you if you don't come to the court." He said it beautifully, but he knew in his heart that this matter would take at least seven or eight years to truly achieve phased results.

Moreover, I also need to use the military political affairs bureau that Prince Su Shanji had just formed to make some storms in Europe so that the French could not cope with the East and the West at the same time, so that I could make some moves in the East and the West.

But in Laos, I have made up my mind to not let Laos fall into the hands of France in more than a year later as in history. If it really doesn't work, I would rather ask the British to come forward and let the two countries grab it first. At this time, Cambodia has fallen into the hands of the French. If Laos is thrown away, the Thais' just-ignited hope for me will immediately fade. In this way, if I want to make a difference in the Indochina Peninsula in the future, I will probably have to make double my efforts.

After discussing some of the benefits I want, such as the future Indian Ocean estuary, the priority of rubber, etc., I also made some wishes to him. In the future, Thailand will be the agent of China to ensure Thailand's leadership in the Indochina Peninsula, and to jointly deal with Western colonists in the longer future, I can finally talk to him about some more relaxed topics: "The King of Thailand is very coincidental. I am choosing a concubine these days. You will stay in Beijing for a few days. When you go back, I will choose a few to bring you back. I hope that in the future they can become a symbol of friendship between China and foreign vassals."

Zhu Lalong thanked him for his kindness. This trip to Beijing is worth noting. In addition to achieving his political goals, he can also bring back a few Chinese "beauties", which is enough for him to leave the palace with a smile.

I immediately issued an order to give Li Yubai, Zhang Liangying and He Jie three to the King of Siam as concubine, Li Jia (the character Jia can be divided into two characters), Huang Yali gave him the King of Ryukyu as concubine, and Zhou Bishang alone gave him the Prince of Nanzhang as concubine. As for the Korean royal family, the Office of Internal Affairs also asked the Office of Internal Affairs to choose a woman named Li Na to give it to the King of Korea Lee Hee as concubine. At the same time, because both princes of North Korea died, Li Xi was rewarded with some tonics. Of course, that was not the place to be replenished.

These decrees made the gamblers in the capital lose their wealth, while the gambling shop owners counted the money and cramped their hands. Of course, they were not happy for a few days. Just a few days after their cramps were sick, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Army of the Army searched these gambling shops and arrested all the bosses on the charge of despising the royal family. All their wealth was confiscated into the treasury, and the total amount of money was over 3 million taels of silver. At the same time, the China Times published the whole story and comments about the incident. In short, in the view of the fans of the women who were given to be concubines, these women who were expected to enter the palace and become concubines were killed by these gambling shops that killed thousands of swords. How could the royal family choose a concubine? They even opened a private gambling game, which was simply unconstitutional!

In order to appease those gamblers who lost money, Shuntian Mansion also introduced the rules and regulations of the upcoming Beijing Tzu Chi lottery tickets and the announcement of recruiting issuers in the China Times. This new thing immediately attracted many middle and lower-class civilians and some children who have become lower-class civilians in the slow-moving banner reform. During the two months of the trial operation, a total of 500,000 winners were produced. When the lottery site inside Zhengyangmen, excited lottery players were carried to the podium to receive the Royal Bank of China bills in the dizziness of getting rich overnight, and when the winners enjoyed the three-day personal protection of Shuntian Mansion, all the frustrated people would have a dream - dreaming that the lucky winner who won the next tenth is himself.

The special prescription of Dr. Hu Yuyu was indeed effective. Although I like Caizi no matter how much I like Caizi, I did not look for her on the day of the ban after one month. Instead, on that night, I poured all my long-established dragon spirit into Youlan, who was summoned to speak to the queen. Later, I found that her endurance had been amazingly improved, and her ability to continue fighting had reached a terrifying zero-response time. Therefore, considering that Youlan is a new wife, she should have fun with Longyu first, and the seeds of life were sown in the newly established territory. Longyu was a long-lasting resentful woman, so naturally he tried his best to use her not-so-looking body to redeem the glory she was losing little by little. Of course, she didn't know that one day in the future, the thin woman beside her who was immersed in the pain and joy of the first ye, who was immersed in the pain and joy of the first ye, would replace her seat.

The talent show girl event is still ongoing. After several popular candidates marry far away from Siam, Ryukyu, and North Korea and other vassal states, I met Dexin's two daughters - Zhiyi and Zhihua in the Shan Pijing room of Cining Garden. They were so beautiful that they could not say. They had bright smiles on their bright faces and a goose yellow and pink bellyband on their mature bodies. The eyes were very complicated when they looked at me. My sister Zhiyi even had tears in her eyes and said with sobs: "Three years... my master can still remember my sisters in three years, and it's worth it if I die immediately."

My sister gave birth to more firmness than my sister. The two sisters lay shoulder to shoulder, looking at me eagerly.

Of course I couldn't bear to let it go, so I hugged the two of them in my arms, watching them sticking out their tongues, and I was shocked. It was not lesbian...

It was so good that I couldn't help laughing out loud. It was not until I saw the two of them raising their heads and casting confusing eyes at me that they changed the subject a little awkwardly: "Of course I always care about your sisters, and I am always afraid that you will let me down. Come on, I don't want you to die immediately, I will give you rewards. Come on, sister or sister first?" I blew out the lamp with a grim smile.

Of course, I am not so lewd and shameless, I just stayed in the harem for three more days. In addition to Dexin’s two daughters, there are also Wang Yi, the daughter of Wang, a co-magistrate of Jiangning Prefecture, and Yan Yan, the daughter of Yan of Yan of Nenjiang Prefecture, Heilongjiang. Both of them are Han. So this time, I added a total of three, Manchuria and Han dynasties, five newcomers to the palace, and each gave them a number of concubines.

The marriage of Zaifeng and Zaifeng brothers was also completed under my personal care. Zaifeng married Gao Jing, the youngest daughter of Chengen Duke Guixiang, while Zaifeng married Lan Yu, the daughter of Jiyong Hou Xiyuan. The two sons of Prince Lao Chun welcomed a grand wedding this winter. In addition, the new heroine of the palace welcomed, the city of Beijing was peaceful and lively.
Chapter completed!
