Chapter 713 Jiusi Church
readx;
In the east of Taiping Lake in Xicheng District, Beijing, Prince Chun’s Mansion is located here. The palace faces north and south, starting from Baojia Street, the west bank of Taiping Lake and the west wall of Xichengyuan in the east, starting from the south-west section of Taiping Lake in the south, and ending at the headlines of Zongmao Hutong in the north, divided into Zhonglu, East, West Road and Garden. There are three rooms in the middle road mansion gate, with eight-character blue shadows on both sides, and two east-west gates to the east-west courtyard.
Hong Yuner got off the carriage and stood in front of the palace and looked at the vast building complex. She felt quite moved. She came to see an old friend today, but she felt a little sorry for this friend. Deep down in her heart, she still thought that she had become a mistress who robbed her husband in the future, and her guilt towards Song Qingyun was not a little bit.
The relatives in the former Qing palace all came out to welcome the arrival of the Western King's Lady. As people who were destroyed, they must strictly abide by etiquette and cannot give the rulers a little excuse, otherwise what awaits them will be liquidation!
Yihuan stood first. As the only remaining prince in the Qing Dynasty royal family, he still maintained his aristocratic demeanor. He did not wear Hanfu, but did not wear the prince's court uniform. Instead, he wore an ordinary double-breasted jacket. The braids behind his head were still as old as before, bowing to the Western Princess. Most of the concubines in the palace of the Xianfeng dynasty were old and yellow. Only a few concubines from Xianfeng were still young, and they all bowed behind Yihuan in regular clothes.
Hong Yuner did not care about these etiquettes, but instead looked for someone who did not see Cixi's appearance. After asking, Yihuan replied: "Sister-in-law is waiting in the house."
Yihuan's words made Taiping people and others angry, but Hong Yuner didn't care about this. She told Yihuan to lead the way so that she could see her old friend as soon as possible. At that moment, Yihuan led the way, and Hong Yuner led a group of female officials and her personal guards straight in.
This Prince Chun Mansion was later changed to the Central Conservatory of Music, covering a wide area and beautiful scenery, but now Hong Yuner is full of thoughts and has no intention of appreciating these exquisitenesses. Soon Yihuan took her to the outside of Jiusi Hall in the palace, where the place where Empress Dowager Cixi and the abdicated young emperor Tongzhi lived.
Entering the house, she saw a beautiful young lady sitting in the center of the house. When she saw Hong Yuner coming in, she smiled and stood up and asked, "Taiping Hong Xuanjiao?" Hong Yuner nodded and said, "Former Queen Mother of the Qing Dynasty?" The lady also nodded, and the two women looked at each other and smiled. Then the two women were each sent away, and there were only two left in the house.
"I'm sorry." Hong Yuner spoke with deep apology. She was even a little guilty, and she always felt uncomfortable as if she was a mistress seeing the main room. But then the Queen Mother of the Cialis smiled and said, "You have nothing to do with sorry to me. Yuner, I can be the Song Qingyun back in front of you and Agui."
Hong Yuner said stutteringly: "Agui and I..." Song Qingyun stepped forward and took Hong Yuner's hand and smiled, "I have opened this knot long ago. I have had a few long talks with Agui. Although he was romantic in his previous life, I can see that the person in his heart has always been the four-eyed girl who has been against him since he was a child."
Hong Yun'er didn't know what Xiao Yungui and Song Qingyun said, but when she remembered the childhood events that had fought with Xiao Yungui in the past, a trace of warmth appeared in her heart, and she whispered: "Qingyun. Are we still good friends?" Song Qingyun nodded and smiled: "It has always been, and it has never changed."
Hong Yuner breathed a long sigh of relief, and a big stone pressing on her heart finally moved away. After the two of them sat down, Hong Yuner asked in a low voice: "Qingyun, are you doing well?"
Song Qingyun sighed and said with relief: "Very good. After leaving the Forbidden City, I feel like I have returned to freedom. Although I can't leave this palace yet, it's always much easier than in the palace. There are too many unhappy memories of me there."
Hong Yuner couldn't help but gently hold Song Qingyun's hand and said, "Qingyun, you have suffered. If Agui and I had known your whereabouts earlier..." Song Qingyun smiled slightly and said helplessly: "What can I do if I know? At that time, you and Agui were still surrounded by the Qing army. They couldn't protect themselves and could not do anything."
Hong Yuner bit her red lips lightly, but she couldn't help asking, "Has anyone bullied you?" Song Qingyun smiled faintly and said, "The people who bullied me are no longer in this world. Even the evil Qing court that bullied me, I buried it with one hand. It can be said that I am now full of resentment. Fortunately, I have a son to accompany me, and I am very satisfied."
Hong Yuner sighed softly: "It seems that time travel is also a very painful thing, because you can't control who will travel to. Everyone has their own helplessness and destiny, and they are also uncontrollable."
Song Qingyun also nodded and sighed: "Yes, it's ridiculous that so many time travel novels in later generations portray time travel as a very beautiful thing. In fact, it is no different from our previous life. It is also full of the pain of life and the helplessness of fate."
After the two women were silent for a while, Hong Yuner said, "Agui and I plan to arrange to send you to the south to live in seclusion after the founding ceremony is completed. Do you think this arrangement is good? We are already looking for your substitute for the little emperor. If we really can't find it, we can only find an opportunity to arrange a fire and find a few bodies to act as your substitute, so that you can fly far away."
Song Qingyun smiled slightly and said, "You can arrange everything, but I don't want to stay in China anymore. I hope to go abroad."
Hong Yuner was slightly stunned. She knew what Song Qingyun meant. She and the little emperor stayed in China. If someone found out, it would inevitably lead to a fight. Hong Yuner said: "Originally, Agui and I wanted to arrange for you to go to the United States, but you know that there is a war there soon. European countries are not in good relationship with us now. I am worried that you can't protect you when you go to Europe." After a pause, he said: "Or go to Japan first. There is still a little more stable there. And we have a lot of people there, so we can take care of you. When the American Civil War is over, we will arrange for you to settle in the United States. Agui and I have a lot of industries and people there, and we can take care of you."
Song Qingyun nodded and smiled, "It's better to resolve the war with Britain, France and Russia as soon as possible, so that I want to go to Europe to see it."
Hong Yuner also laughed and said, "We are all working hard. The top priority after the founding of the country is to find a way to solve the problem of the Three Kingdoms War."
Song Qingyun snorted and complained: "We are really working hard together. You came to see the errands arranged for me by Agui, but I have tried my best."
As he said that, Song Qingyun took Hong Yun'er to the inner study room, he saw that the desk inside was covered with paper and booklets. Hong Yun'er picked up a piece of paper and looked at it, but it was written on it, "The Declaration of the United States".
Song Qingyun said: "This is the declaration I recalled. I will write it down as a reference for information to help me draft the "Dingguo Issue" for your Agui." Then Song Qingyun picked up several other items and said: "There are also British Charters, French Declaration of Human Rights, and other books are records of the emperors of all dynasties when they ascended the throne, and there are also some laws agreed upon by some dynasties when they founded. I am collecting information to prepare the damn "Dingguo Issue"."
Hong Yuner pursed her lips and smiled, "Qingyun, do you think this feeling is very strange. You, Empress Dowager Cixi of the Qing Dynasty, helped the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom to establish the country, I think the most absurd history is this."
Song Qingyun also smiled and said, "That's not all. I, Empress Dowager Cixi and Hong Xuanjiao from your Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, are still close friends as close as sisters. This is the biggest joke in history." After pausing, she continued, "Agui said that most of the contents of the decree of the country were negotiated by you and Zuo Zongtang and others. I don't know what the contents of your establishment include."
Hong Yuner took out a thick stack of texts from her arms and said, "This is the draft of "Dingguo Yihuang" we have drafted. Please ask the talented women in our class to take a look."
Song Qingyun took over and said, "You are a talented woman. What is even more jealous is that you heard that your body is already a mother of three children, and your figure can still be maintained so well, really." Hong Yun'er's pretty face turned red, and she stepped forward to creak Song Qingyun's itchy smiled and said, "I think you are the one who is a disaster for the country and the people, and there is no fat at all."
Song Qingyun hid away with a smile. After the two girls made a joke for a while, Song Qingyun said, "Stop making trouble, let's see what you wrote about Dingguo is an edict." Song Qingyun looked down at the moment.
Hong Yuner said, "Since the "Dingguo is the Edict" is mainly based on the word "Dingguo", we think that we should instill a concept for the people of the whole country. The country we established this time is different from the changes of previous dynasties. We are building a country in the true sense, and different from the dynasty-type country in the past. Since ancient times, the country in our Chinese concept has remained in the court and country. Although there is the term "state", the specific concept represented is not the concept of sovereign state that we know now."
Song Qingyun said with a huff: "At the beginning, you were talking about the definition of the country, which seemed to be a certain state system. But now these people in our country cannot understand. In their thoughts, the emperor is the country. It is better to be loyal to the country than to be loyal to the monarch. Without the emperor, there would be no country."
Hong Yuner nodded and said with a little discouraged look: "Yes, so Agui can only continue to be the emperor. He and I have thought about it. If there is no emperor now, I am afraid that the country will be divided immediately."
Song Qingyun blinked and teased, "Take it slow, comrades, the revolution has not been successful yet, you still need to work hard. After the founding of the country, I will wait for you and Agui to continue to work hard to reverse this situation and popularize and develop people's wisdom. How hard it is." She followed her and said, "When at that time, I have already gone to Japan to soak in hot springs to see cherry blossoms, so I feel comfortable thinking about it."
Hong Yuner spat lightly and said, "Okay, before you leave, Agui and I will squeeze out the last bit of your value before we can stop."
Song Qingyun laughed and said, "That's it, then I won't read it now. Yun'er, let's introduce the content of the Dingguo decree to me, otherwise I will stop on strike."
Hong Yun'er also suddenly felt a childlike heart and said, "Okay, Lord Lao Fu, just listen to me to introduce it slowly. This is the first part of the imperial edict, which is an explanation..." (To be continued.)
