Chapter 127: I would rather have a friendly country than a slave

In the capital, the Ministry of Justice Prison.

Tan Sitong watched Xiao, who was in the same room, dragged out by the jailer.

Xiao was temporarily detained as a witness. Last night, because the weather was cold, Xiao could not resist it. This morning, Tan Sitong found that he was frozen to death.

Tan Sitong looked calm and had already been ready to die.

He walked around the room, looked back at the past, and thought about the struggle between history and current reforms. He felt that his experience was similar to that of Zhang Jian and Dugan of the Han Dynasty.

"Tan Sitong!"

Several jailers came over with food and shouted his name.

The prison guard opened the prison door, and the young leader of the class room stepped forward and said, "Please use wine and food."

Is this the slaughtered rice? Tan Sitong looked at the sumptuous meal, glanced at the prison guards, and said, "You guys wait!"

Tan Sitong picked up a coal from the cell, and the dragon flew and phoenix danced, and wrote in anger:

Looking at the door and stop thinking about Zhang Jian,

Wait for Dugan for a moment.

I smiled at the sky with my sword.

Stay away and leave the liver and gallbladder.

After Tan Sitong finished writing, he threw down the coals, laughed, and said loudly: "Let's go, there's no need for food."

Unexpectedly, the little leader of the class room praised: "Good poem!"

Then, he smiled embarrassedly and said, "Sir, this is not a slaughter, it's just a little bit of the young people."

Upon hearing this, Tan Sitong sat down and took a few bites, and said, "Since I am going to poison me, Tan, will do what you wish."

The head of the troupe signaled a little to the prison guards behind him.

Several people retreated and closed the prison door.

The head of the ban walked to Tan Sitong and leaned over and whispered: "Sir, General Ye, the admiral of Zhili, has led his troops to the capital to save the emperor. The Lafayette is in a state of great difficulty. There will be a thought of Mr. there."

Tan Sitong was stunned, put down his chopsticks, and asked in disbelief: "You are Ye Zhikui and Wu Yi's army coming to Beijing to rescue the car."

"Yes, today we heard news that the governor of Zhili Ronglu has been killed by General Ye. Li Zhongtang and General Ye formed a large army to fight against rebellion. According to the emperor's secret order, we sent troops to the capital! Now on the road, the small people in the Beijing camp may not be able to resist. I will come to report the good news to you, Mr.."

Tan Sitong showed joy on his face. After all, there are righteous and loyal people in this country.

"If sir can escape this disaster, I hope I will remember what the villain has done today!" The head of the troupe said for a long time and finally said his heart.

Tan Sitong was happy inside, and a little smile appeared on his face, pointing to the door.

The head of the team understood and turned around and retreated.

Tan Sitong poured down a glass of wine, took a sip, and sang with chopsticks, "Song of wine, how much life is..."

Summer Palace, Renshou Hall.

Cixi sat on the dragon bed with a chill.

He lowered more than a dozen central ministers of the Qing Dynasty lowered his head and did not dare to speak.

"Does Ai's family raise a bunch of food? At the critical moment, you all lost your voice. Li Hongzhang and Ye Zhikui, two traitors, are about to attack the capital. Gangyi, you pay more attention on weekdays, tell me."

Gangyi groaned a few times and said, "Old Buddha, Song Qing is already on the way. General Shengjing Yiketang A and General Jilin Changshun have already led their troops to set off. I believe that they will arrive in the capital soon."

Cixi picked up the seal on the desk and smashed it on Gangyi's head, angrily: "Song Qing's thousands of troops can block the three thieves. If Changshun and Yiketang A enter the capital, the bones of the Ai family will probably be cold."

Cixi asked again: "How did the governors of other provinces react? How did the governor of Shanxi Hu Pinzhi? Wang Zhankui, the commander of Baoding Prefecture, come!"

Cixi even said that there were two places close to the capital, and she was furious and did not think that Hu Pinzhi was the main general of the Westernization Affairs Office and participated in the formulation of the reform. Cixi was thinking about how to deal with him the day before yesterday, and Wang Zhankui was the commander of the Huai Army. It was a ghost that the two could lead troops to rescue the troops.

Military Minister Sun Yuwen said with a clarity: "Don't be anxious. There are more than 10,000 new troops in Nanyuan in the capital, and the fifth patrol battalion is enough to resist the bandit army."

Cixi had the intention to kill Sun Yuwen. It would be better not to mention this immortal pot. What kind of Nanyuan New Army is? Cixi knew better than anyone else. She wanted her to believe that Nanyuan New Army could withstand Wu Yi's army, or to make her believe that sows would be easier to climb trees.

Cixi ignored Sun Yuwen, and Gangyi had to go forward and said, "Old Buddha, Hu Pinzhi and Wang Zhankui are very close to the thieves, so they should not come to protect the enemy. Liu Kun, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, sent a message: This is a mess, and he will not obey the order. Other governors, other governors..."

"What about other governors?" Cixi asked in a bad mood.

Gangyi wiped his sweat and knelt down and said, "The other governors either did not reply, or they would advise you to abdicate and hand over the power to the emperor."

Cixi was furious and said, "These dog slaves are usually neutral. Whenever there is something wrong, they will push each other and stop it. They are really angry to the Ai family."

Xu Tong stepped forward and said, "God of Lafayette, why not ask other countries for help."

Prince Li Shiduo advised: "God of the Lady, the great powers of all countries must not ask for it lightly."

Cixi snorted coldly and said, "The Ai family is almost in a different place, and she can still control a lot. She would rather have a friendly country than a slave. Li Hongzhang and Ye Zhikui wanted to use the emperor to command the princes. This Qing Dynasty is my general Qing Dynasty. Even if the Ai family smashed him into pieces, they would never want Ye Zhikui and others to get it."

Cixi was not stupid, of course she would think that Ye Zhikui was not only "protecting the emperor and obeying the palace". She knew best what kind of person Guangxu was. She was afraid that the cowardly Guangxu would be controlled by Ye Zhikui and Li Hongzhang at that time, and the power in the court would inevitably be controlled by a group of Han officials.

Duke of Fuguo Zailan pushed Zaiyi around him.

Zai Yi walked up proudly and said, "The Queen Mother, the Boxer Rebellion are all righteous people who have been desperate for their lives and go to the troubles of the country. Now these people have been subdued by the slaves, which is worth it. The slave asked the Queen Mother to ask me to lead them to fight Ye Zhikui."

Zai Yi regarded herself as the savior, and swept the tiger's eyes at the ministers and said proudly: "There are thousands of boxers in the slave's mansion, ten thousand boxers in the capital, and tens of thousands of boxers in Zhili. The slave believes that even if he is Ye Zhikui, three heads and six arms, he cannot resist the Boxer Rebellion."

Cixi asked disbelief: "Wuyi's army is strong and its horses are strong, its firearms are sharp, can the Boxer's big sword and spear resist?"

Zai Yi raised her head and curled her lips and replied, "The Boxer Regiment has the help of the gods, and it is invulnerable to swords and guns. It will definitely teach it Ye Zhikui will come and go."

Xu Tong echoed: "Laofu is clear, and the servants have also seen with their own eyes that muskets are useless to the Boxer Rebellion."

"There is such a magical skill in the world. Prince Rui and Prince Zhuang, you two immediately recruited the boxers into the capital." Cixi was overjoyed, as if the man who fell into the water found one or two life-saving straws.

"Gangyi, the Ai family has appointed you as the Admiral of the Nine Gates, commanding the Patrol Battalion and the Eight Banners Infantry Battalion, the New Army of Nanyuan, and joining Prince Rui and Prince Zhuang to protect the safety of the capital. Sun Yuwen, you communicate with embassies of various countries and ask them to lead troops to rescue the Ai family. As long as we can protect our Qing Dynasty, the conditions can be discussed easily." Cixi ordered repeatedly.
