Chapter 34        Fighting (1)

During dinner, the little eunuch in Jingshifang held a vermilion plate containing the green-headed concubines in the harem. The emperor flipped it up randomly, and he didn't even see which concubine in the palace it was, so he repelled the eunuch.

After a few comments were approved, Yu Jingyu and Liufu served the bath. After hearing the footsteps outside the Yangxin Palace, Yupin fell to kneel. The emperor realized that he had chosen her to serve the bed tonight. This made him feel a little embarrassed: Yupin was originally a palace maid who was listened to by Yehenara. His original surname was Li, and his name was Pingyu. After entering the palace, he changed his name to Lianhuan. Later, he took the house for the emperor. This was many years ago. But after several years, Yupin was very happy. Perhaps because of the fact that he listened to by Lan Fei's room, he felt that he was always inferior. Even when he was talking to several sisters in the palace, he never dared to speak and move around. He seemed to be as good as her. Naturally, his daughter's charm was even worse than the people around him. After several years, he was the first in the palace list!

Looking at her pretty and charming little face full of timid expression, the emperor felt very pity, "Come on, Yu'er, come to me."

"Yes." Pingyu agreed, walked to the emperor, raised his head, looked at the Qing emperor who was close to him, and smiled shyly in a childish and shy smiled, "I was talking to Sister Lan in the palace. I heard Eunuch Lu's orders, and I thought... I was wrong."

The emperor smiled and lowered his head, kissed Yupin's cheeks, which made the girl's delicate face flush and lowered her head. He thought to himself that in the harem, there was no more beauty than Yang Guiren; in terms of charm, he was demoted to the top of Yupin, who was demoted to Concubine Qian. If he talked about the charm of his daughter's bed, he would naturally be led by Yunpin and Guipin. As for this Yupin, he had another cuteness and weakness, which was coveted, "I have never turned your brand these days, do you miss me?"

Yupin was very embarrassed, but he still nodded in his arms honestly, "I thought about it! Slave... I dreamed of the emperor several times!"

"So good." The emperor chuckled, unbuttoned the buttons of Yupin's clothes. When the spring light was half-exhausted, he stretched his hand through the gap, held the snow-white and firm breasts on one side, and kneaded vigorously, "Emperor..."

"What's wrong? Don't like me to spoil you?"

"I like it." Yupin forced herself to hold back her shame, stepped back slightly, straightened her chest, giving her husband greater convenience, and murmured, "Your Majesty, the servant...'s body has just been cleaned, you...ah!"

The emperor was stunned for a moment, Zhan Yan smiled, "Does my serial want to have a baby?"

"Well! I want to give birth to a prince for the emperor, so that I can also be my companion for the fourth princess in the future."

"Okay. I will give you another prince so that I can share my worries in the future." As he said that, he stripped himself naked in three or two, and thrust the high weapon under his crotch to reveal it to the woman's eyes. He smiled lewdly, and turned to walk to the soft couch.

Yupin felt very embarrassed! He held her hand for her husband, moved to the bed step by step, hugged her knees, and felt a lot of sympathy and affection. The men and women met naked, and they were all moved like fire. "Master, slave..." Yupin hugged her husband's neck softly and weakly, and attached herself to his ears with anger as if she was orchid, and whispered, "Mr.... I think, Master, you..."

The emperor chuckled with satisfaction, picked up Yupin, placed it on the couch, and covered his body.

*********************************************

When he met with the Military Affairs Office, the emperor asked Wenxiang's two responsibilities handled by the General Administration Office, one was to relocate the venues of various countries in Beijing; the other was to issue railway treasury bonds. Wenxiang said, "The railway treasury bonds, slaves and ministers of the Ministry of Revenue, and Du Shangshu Du, heard from the two ministers that the total number of treasury bonds that Britain, France, the United States and the West initially agreed to subscribe to account for 31% of the issuance of treasury bonds. For specific contact matters, we have to wait until the official documents of various governments arrive in Beijing in the future, and the ministers of various countries will negotiate with our dynasty one by one."

"Where is the number of pledges on the Ministry of Revenue, the issuance of treasury bonds this time?"

"The people are grateful for the kindness of the people, and the national debts are being implemented, and the provinces are pledging enthusiastically." Yan Jingming said, "I have discussed together that the court can allow the provinces to pledge merchants and gentry and have some rewards?"

"Reward? How do you think you should reward?"

Looking at the emperor's smile, Yan Jingming did not dare to say much and met with his head, "I am confused, please... take the Emperor... to deal with it."

"You still don't understand the meaning of treasury bonds. The purpose of the court issuing treasury bonds was to raise funds for railways or other construction projects. The people enthusiastically pledged donations, but not to serve the court, but they did not get nothing. They said that three years later, the treasury bonds will expire and return the principal will be of interest - and this is the reward that the court can give to those who buy treasury bonds!" He smiled and said, "Now many treasury contracts are unimaginable. How beneficial and safe the treasury is for the people and those merchants..." He hesitated for a moment, and he couldn't find any way to express his intentions that would not harm the words, so he had to take out a vocabulary that people think is very fresh in the present, "Investment method."

Sure enough, several people from the Military Affairs Office looked at each other, and no one understood what this sentence meant. "Some things can't be broken down from you, and you will understand them in the future. They are like investing in national debt, which is one of them." The emperor said, "It's like Britain, France and other countries are willing to spend a lot of money to buy national debts - do you think these foreigners are really so kind and willing to pay for money without seeing any benefits? Things in the world are not that cheap!"

Wen Xiang and Yan Jingming looked at each other and smiled bitterly. When the emperor was studying in the study room, he was also well-educated, but he was very speculative about the worldly feelings. He never believed that the saying that people were originally good is good, but he adhered to the concept that the Legal family was originally evil. He only heard him ask again, "What about the relocation of embassies in various countries?"

"The slave has joined hands with the General Administration to write about the emperor's intentions and publicize the ministers of various countries. The United States and the West have no objections. They all think that the embassy built in East Jiaomin Lane is in an awkward situation. In the past ten years, there have been many disagreements between officials and the people. Secondly, the embassies of the two countries have narrow land and narrow buildings. If they can change the location and expand the place, they are willing to follow the requests of the Celestial Empire and move other places." Wen Xiang said, "But Britain, France and other countries are reluctant to move on the grounds that the leadership is closer to the General Administration's yard and the exchanges are followed by the historical experience. The slave was about to leave the court today, and go to the British Consulate in person to negotiate with the British Minister to China Vitoma."

"Take this matter harder and don't delay it for too long." The emperor said, "In the eyes of the people of the Celestial Empire, it is indeed a country with a country. However, when the two countries interact and dispatch ambassadors to each other, they have considerable foreign-related legal rights, and they are also applicable to all the world. Therefore, when doing things, we should still focus on persuasion, and communicate with each other as much as possible to benefit each other - this time, the General Administration will also handle the job in this way."

Wen Xiang touched his head in conscience and said loudly, "The emperor is wise and has many saints and servants in the interactions between the two countries. He not only complys with the law, but also has the approval of the ministers of all countries. He said that the Emperor of the Celestial Emperor not only has unparalleled civil and military achievements in the world, but also has the divine teachings of diplomacy, which makes people sigh that the Holy Lord knew it when he was born, which is a blessing for my Celestial Emperor!"

The emperor smiled without comment, "You don't need to flatter me, but you should find a way to do your job well. Your seriousness is how to do it."

"Zha." Seeing that the political affairs were over, several people from the Military Affairs Office met and bowed out. Back to the Military Affairs Office outside Zunyi Gate, Zhang Jing, the General Office of Chengxiang, was just here, "Please pay tribute to the ministers of the Central Hall!"

Wen Xiang was stunned, "Why are you here? Is there something wrong in the yamen?"

Cheng Xiang was also stunned, "Uh... Bei Zhi came to Su Zhongtang."

Wen Xiang then remembered that since the Emperor Xixiao and Cheng Xiang took office in the Office of the Internal Affairs Office in July last year because of Sushun's recommendation, he had two jobs, one in the General Administration and the other in the Office of the Internal Affairs Office. "Oh, Yuting, you have something to do, I won't disturb you."

Su Shun sneered, walked out of the crowd and approached Cheng Xiang, "How is it, how are you doing?"

"Everything depends on the cultivation of Uncle Six." Cheng Xiang gave a mercy in a neat way, and his actions were very sloppy. He said, "My nephew had just visited the construction office and piled up wood and iron materials all over the ground. My nephew asked Director Lei, and he said that he had to wait until the materials were ready before the construction could be officially started. The Anqing Manufacturing Bureau was already in the mansion. When the March River opened, the canal ship could transport the materials needed for heating to Beijing one by one."

Speaking of this, he whispered, "My nephew saw that Lei Tingchang and others were busy with each other for the stage of Changchun Palace, but according to my nephew's opinion, it is probably difficult to complete the work before the fifth day of the March."

"Even if you can do it, you can always find a way to make up the bastard Lei Tingchang!" Su Shun sneered a few times, held his cheeks and thought about countermeasures. After thinking for a moment, his eyes lit up: "I have it!"

After the New Year, the emperor summoned the Office of the Interior and the Ministry of Works to build heating in the palace. Lei Tingchang, the prelude to the prelude, said in a slight silence. The emperor did not blame too much, but offended Sushun very much. For a moment, he hated him and always wanted to find an opportunity to revenge him fiercely. However, the two of them had different responsibilities and had almost nothing to do with each other, so they delayed.

It should be a matter of time. Shortly after the New Year, Yang Guiren, who was fond of the pepper room, once said that she loved to listen to operas in her hometown, especially Beijing opera, and she loved her heart. Whenever a new opera troupe came to Taiyuan Prefecture, she would always invite him to Jinjing Garden for three days, and the affairs would become more prosperous and lively for a few days. After entering the palace, she knew that there were also so-called inner court worshipers in the palace, which were specially used for emperors, queens, and concubines, but she never saw him. She seemed to feel regretful.

The speaker is unintentional, the listener is intentional. The emperor is extremely favored by Yang Guiren. He specially ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Works to set up a stage in Changchun Palace. On the surface, it was for the queen and all the masters in the palace to enjoy one or two when they were free. In fact, everyone knows that this was built to please Yang Guiren - and the opera troupes outside in the future are convenient for summoning the theater troupes outside. The stage in Changchun Palace will be "reported" within the fifth day of the third month.

This day is February 26th, and there are still ten days before the deadline. According to the habit of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it must have not been done properly. Sushun was determined to punish Lei Tingchang, so he deliberately found an excuse and handed in the sign. The emperor immediately summoned him. Sushun met with a smile and replied, "I'm here today to ask the master for a 'good'."

"Su Liu, I see that you are becoming more and more unruly," the emperor cursed with a smile, "What kind of virtue have you done? Come to me and think of showing off your bad luck?"

"The emperor, I am leading the responsibilities of the Minister of the Interior. Now there are two major projects outside the city. One is the stage built in front of Changchun Palace in the Forbidden City. It has not been completed yet, so I dare not invite the reward of the Emperor of Longsheng. The other is the garden. Since the ninth year of Xianfeng, the renovation and renovation of the Wanshou Mountain Palace corridor has been carried out for two years. It has been seen that it has been done. After the spring begins, the Emperor of Longsheng will move to the Old Summer Palace. The Emperor of Longsheng will be guaranteed. The project will be completed as scheduled, and the emperor will be refuted."

"Oh?" The emperor threw this matter behind his head. After hearing what he said, he remembered, "I remember that this great work was Ming Shan appointed as the Minister of Supervisor?"

"Yes. The emperor said it was absolutely true. In the past two years, Ming Shan has been the mastermind work in the Old Summer Palace." Su Shun paused and said, "In addition to Ming Shan, there is still a member of the family. Although he is young, the family in the palace has suffered from the national grace. The member has been thinking about serving for a long time, so he ran back and forth in the General Administration's yamen and the Old Summer Palace just to make the emperor..."

The emperor interrupted him with confusion, "General Administration Office? Why do anyone in the General Administration Office still do the errands of the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"

"Yes." Su Shun replied, "What the slave said was Cheng Xiang from the Duke's mansion. The emperor was lucky to the west last year, and he also followed his entourage."

"Oh, it's him." The emperor remembered, "Son of Shankui, but?"

"It's this son."

The emperor always felt that Zhang Jing, the General Administration, was also a bit unsuitable for the job of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and could not find any excuses to waive some of his errands. He nodded unconsciously and asked, "This Cheng Xiang is not very old, right?"

"He was born in the 22nd year of Daoguang, and he is only nineteen years old this year." Su Shun naturally wanted to say a few good things to this 'nephew'. He said, "It was the time when he was young and promising and wanted to serve the emperor more. Moreover, Cheng Xiang was smart and really a rare talent. Not only was everyone in the Internal Affairs Office praised him, but he was also one of the most useful Zhang Jingshou in the General Administration."

He also said, "The Wanshou Mountain major in the Old Summer Palace, the slaves and Lord Ming are busy with official duties and are filial to their masters. However, they are not able to do anything, so Cheng Xiang has a variety of dishes. In addition to the construction period, the funds used are clear. Yan Danchu and Yuan Wuqiao and other adults went to the inner palace many times, and checked the accounts in the two departments of the household work, which was also clear and clear at a glance."

"This kind of great work is the easiest thing to invade fish. In addition to the case of Li Guangzhao back then, the great work of the Old Summer Palace was even more eye-catching. After you go down, you will be very happy to warn Mingshan, Cheng Xiang and others to do things seriously. The court will naturally be willing to reward you. If you are not just using it, you also want to get some ill-gotten wealth. No matter who I am, my son, will never be lenient in dealing with it."

"Zhe. I have all the servants recorded it." Sushun met respectfully and before leaving the door, he gave Liu Fu a wink. The latter nodded clearly and saw that there was nothing to take care of in the hall, so he followed him out, "Brother?"

"Brother, please ask you something."

"What are you saying about Big Brother? As long as you explain something, you will be able to serve you."

"Okay..." Sushun whispered a few times to him, then asked, "What do you think, brother?"

"Brother's enemy is my younger brother's opponent. I always want to let Mr. Lei get it!" Liu Fu smiled and said, "Brother, let's take it!"
