Qin Xian, who was ordered to ransack his home, returned with enough money to fill the warehouse of the household department, as well as various antique calligraphy and paintings.

Not to mention the silver coins and antique calligraphy and paintings mentioned, even the medicinal materials and clothing materials stored in the warehouse were all evacuated. It can be said that Qin Xian, who was ordered to ransack his home, completely followed Ji Yanzhi's instructions, and did not even leave them a pair of pants.

"A group of big rats." Ji Yanzhi sneered: "Please check their relatives carefully. Since I have said mercifully to keep their family neat and tidy, naturally all relatives, friends and daughters must be together."

The entire Hall of Cultivation of the Heart is silent, and even the little prince who is personally responsible for Ji Yanzhi's clothing, food, housing and transportation is sincere and fearful and dare not say anything. But Qin Xian is different. He who has been posted with a loyal talisman is like Ji Yanzhi's super brain fan. No matter what Ji Yanzhi says, he will execute it perfectly.

No, Ji Yanzhi is going to let the corrupters, along with their relatives and friends, go to the official kiln in order to dig coal. Others dare not object or agree, but Qinxian stepped up and said: "Long live what the master said is extremely true. It will allow the offenders and the whole family to neatly contribute to the infrastructure of domestic enterprises advocated by Long Live."

Ji Yanzhi showed a smile with Hexi.

"Wang Gui, go and ask the emperor to come to the Hall of Cultivation of the Heart to take a good look at the family details."

The little prince hesitated, and said cautiously: "Long live the Lord, where is the Queen Mother..."

"Is sick again?" Ji Yanzhi raised his eyebrows: "Have you seen the doctor?"

Little Prince: "The imperial doctor had seen it and said it was because of bad rest."

"Since you don't have a good rest, then tell the Empress Empress Cixi, it will be done exclusively by the Empress Longhu Ci'an."

Like the Emperor Tongzhi who lived in the shadow of the Empress Dowager Cixi in history, Ji Yanzhi only experienced the love between mother and child from the Empress Dowager Ci'an. This is a very ironic thing. Just like Empress Xiaozhuangwen to Emperor Shunzhi, her biological mother supported the young emperor, but because her mother was too strong, the son who wanted to resist would be forced to death; if he wanted, he was perverted in silence.

Ji Yanzhi didn't want to be as aggrieved as the Tongzhi emperor in history, so he could only let himself be perverted.

No, no, it's not abnormal, but strong.

Ji Yanzhi nodded approvingly, and when the little prince led the order to withdraw from the Hall of Cultivation of the Heart, while arranging the hand to carry Long Hu to the Ci Ning Palace to invite the Empress Dowager Ci’an, he personally went to the Xiefang Hall next to the Ci Ning Palace (Ci Ning Palace). Qinggong), to visit the Empress Dowager Cixi who is dizzy when she wants to intervene in government affairs for Ji Yanzhi.

Regarding the problem of the Empress Dowager Cixi, through the joint consultation of all the imperial physicians in the Taiyuan Hospital, it was concluded that the Empress Dowager Cixi was suffering from vertigo. A lot of medicine was prescribed and a lot of medicine was taken, but it is a pity that the empress dowager Cixi feels dizzy whenever she wants to intervene in government affairs. It makes her feel unhappy all day.

When the little prince arrived, the empress dowager Cixi had just taken the medicine, and she looked okay, but at the beginning, the empress dowager Cixi was not well.

"What is the emperor messing around with?"

The little prince bowed his head and replied: "...Long live the Lord is very angry, thinking that all the officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs are rats that dig royal meat."

Empress Dowager Cixi, who was annoyed in her heart, just wanted to scold out loud and felt the familiar dizziness, and she swallowed the scolding loudly. The Empress Dowager Cixi tried to calm her thoughts, and after a while, she waited for the dizziness to ease before she said slowly.

"The emperor is still too young. I don't know that he only punishes the first evil, and the rest is better. Officials who make mistakes should be punished, but the crime should not affect the family." Empress Dowager Cixi said with a serious expression: "Wang Gui, mourn the family body. If you are not safe, you will not go to the Hall of Nourishment. Go back carefully and repeat what the Aijia said to Lord Long Live. The emperor is very clever and should know how to make up for it."

The little prince: "The slave follows the decree."

The little prince knelt immediately, and as soon as he left Xiefang Palace (Ciqing Palace), he met the Queen Mother Ci'an who was already sitting in Longhu head-on.

The Empress Dowager Ci'an was a little surprised and a little clear. She even more knowingly asked, "Sister Cixi won't go."

The little prince lowered his earlobe eyes: "Return to the Empress Dowager Ci'an, the Empress Dowager Cixi is in poor health, so she won't go to the Hall of Nourishment."

"Kump, then."

Empress Dowager Ci'an raised her handkerchief, then adjusted her posture and sat in the middle of Long Hu with peace of mind. Soon, the Empress Dowager Ci'an was carried to the Hall of Nurturing Heart by Long Hu.

"Let's take a seat for the emperor."

Recently, Ji Yanzhi, who was obviously in the middle of a whirlwind, threw away half of the books he saw in his hands, and instead said to the Empress Dowager Ci'an who was seated securely with the help of the palace maid: "Emperor Niang, look at this copy of the house."

The Empress Dowager Ci'an took the thickly stacked family transcripts that Ji Yanzhi handed over, and when she opened it, she was shocked.

"This...this...no wonder the emperor is so angry, they dare to..."

"So the whole family must be punished neatly."

The Empress Dowager Ci'an was silent. She felt that Ji Yanzhi had a fascinating feeling for the term "tidy". Recently, not only did she always mention it, she also managed to get the whole family of offending officials to go neatly together under the name of Ji Yan. Coal mining in the coal mine.

"The emperor, is your punishment..."

"...Too light?" Ji Yanzhi grabbed the stubbornness and said with a gentle smile: "The emperor of Ci'an is right, and I think it is too light, so I have arranged people to investigate these. The relatives of the dog minions who dig meat from the royal family and fat their own pockets. And the married daughters in the family must also be checked. As long as there is one thing that was originally in the royal warehouse but was reported to be damaged and lost, it was found in the married wife’s house. I just... Oh, the emperor mother, do you think this is a standard harm to your husband's family."

Empress Dowager Cian: "..."

Empress Dowager Ci'an: "The prince went to Xiefang Palace (Ciqing Palace), Sister Cixi should have something to convey."

The little prince who was asked hurriedly replied: "Return to the Empress Dowager Ci'an, and return to the long live master, Empress Dowager Cixi did say a few words for the slaves to convey."

The little prince then said what Empress Dowager Cixi asked him to convey to Ji Yanzhi.

Ji Yan raised his eyebrows first, and then smiled: "I understand what the Empress Empress Cixi said. To be a ruler is not blindly kind and generous. The emperor should kill and be decisive, not indecisive, don’t forget. In the holy ancestral dynasty, Ming Shang was greedy for a thousand taels of silver, so he was investigated and dealt with in accordance with the law. And these master rats of the House of Internal Affairs were more than a thousand taels of greed."

Empress Dowager Ci'an: "How can the servants of the House of Internal Affairs be compared with the emperor. The emperor, your analogy is a bit inappropriate."

"How is it inappropriate?" Ji Yanzhi pretended to be puzzled and asked: "Indeed, the servants of the Internal Affairs Department cannot be compared with the elders. After all, one is a domestic servant and the other is a hefty elder, how do you compare?"

Empress Dowager Ci'an: "Have the emperor thought about this problem? Just as your Empress Empress Empress Cixi said, you have dealt with the offending slaves together with your family, and whoever will do the work for you in the future will only kill the chickens and the monkeys. The emperor remembers Shuiqing There is no reason for fish."

"There are so many talents in the Qing Dynasty, how can there be a lack of slaves to do things for me."

Ji Yanzhi doesn't know where the idea of ​​Empress Dowager Ci'an plus Empress Dowager Cixi came from. He doesn't agree with him, so he won't do it, so he should pack up. Don't think that he is bullied when he is young, so that he can be persuaded by the queen mothers of the two houses in turn, knowing that sometimes the children they think are actually the most stubborn.

"Emperor Niang, in fact, compared to the Manchu dynasty civil and military corpse meal, I am more tolerant of bullying the Lord. One by one, I use the royal as a fool to fool, and generation after generation, I will fool the royal as a fool. I won’t deal with all of them. I’m sorry to save money for the treasury and use it so that I can’t bear to eat eggs. I think the eggs are too expensive.”

The Empress Dowager Ci'an watched Ji Yanzhi quietly for several seconds, and finally said: "The emperor is arbitrarily acting. It seems that there is no need for the emperor to be too involved in political affairs. To rectify the affairs of the internal affairs office, the emperor will not go anymore. Excuse me. From your Empress Empress Empress Cixi, Empress Empress will also help you conceal something. But academically, the emperor must not relax!"

Ji Yanzhi nodded: "Don't worry, the emperor, I know what to do."

Having said that, what else does the Empress Dowager Ci'an have to say. She wasn't the Empress Dowager Cixi, she was able to rely on the relationship between her birth and mother to force Ji Yanzhi not to do this or that. She was just a maternal grandmother, and the only thing she could do when the emperor's birth mother was still there was to behave more tenderly and more generously than the emperor's birth mother.

This also means that the Empress Dowager Ci'an must make appropriate concessions at some point.

Just like this time, when Ji Yanyi insisted again and again, and the Empress Dowager Cixi was in poor health and she could only be allowed to'assis' Ji Yanzhi in handling government affairs. After she persuaded Ji Yanzhi several times, Ji Yanzhi Still insisting on what she had already seen, the Empress Dowager Cian could only choose to compromise.

Fortunately, she has a calm personality and has accepted the title of Ci'an. If she becomes the empress dowager Cixi and meets Ji Yanzhi's stubbornness, she will not be vomited and become more ill.

Thinking of the current body of the Empress Dowager Cixi, on the way back to Cining Palace, the Empress Dowager Ci'an couldn't help but sigh faintly, why bother. I thought that Empress Dowager Cixi was a smart person, but ended up suffering from the vertigo disease, which caused headaches as soon as she was infected with government affairs. If we didn’t just let go of peace and quiet, she would always bear the title of Queen Mother of the Virgin. , Even for the sake of fame, she will not be treated badly.

But why the Empress Dowager Cixi can't think about it.

Empress Dowager Ci'an frowned, and when she returned to the palace, she couldn't help but ask this question to the maid who was serving her. ,

The grand palace lady hesitated, but she still replied: "...Master, maybe it's the master Cixi who sees you, and has been helping Long live master to solve problems. That's why..." She was so sick that she didn't want to delegate power.

"The Aijia has forgotten this." Empress Dowager Ci'an suddenly realized: "She, she has always had ambitions, but now she has given up all her efforts due to physical reasons, so she can't let it go."

The Empress Dowager Ci'an laughed mockingly, and then only sat in Cining Palace for a while, and then went to the Xiefang Palace (Ciqing Palace) next door to visit the Empress Dowager Cixi, and found that Empress Dowager Cixi's face was much uglier than yesterday, and it was inevitable. I sighed in my heart.

"You, it's more important to keep your health up now. Where can the emperor have me? You can rest assured."

If it were not for her image, Empress Dowager Cixi would immediately give her a big eye. However, although the smile on her face remained the same, she still looked graceful and luxurious, but the Empress Dowager Cixi not only rolled her eyes in her heart, but also fantasized that she slapped the Empress Dowager Ci'an a lot.

Empress Dowager Cixi smiled and smiled, as if she was moved by the words of Empress Dowager Ci'an, and also said: "Sister Ci'an is right. My younger sister should really take care of her illness. Otherwise, I don't know when this flare will get better. "

The Empress Dowager Ci'an smiled gently, which seemed to agree with Empress Dowager Cixi's insincere words, and then turned to other trivial matters, and by the way said a few things about the government affairs that Empress Dowager Cixi was most interested in. However, although they were all smiling, the empress dowagers of the two palaces didn't talk for long. The empress dowager Ci'an only sat in Xiefang Palace (Ciqing Palace) for a while, and then went back to Cining Palace.

After that, the Empress Dowager Ci'an came out in a simple way.

And the Empress Dowager Cixi didn’t know if it was really in poor health, or there was the Empress Dowager Ci’an as a “model”. Not long after the Empress Dowager Ci’an lived in a shallow place, the Empress Dowager Cixi went to the imperial doctor with great fanfare. .

Ji Yanzhi, who was busy sending the group of rats from the House of Internal Affairs to the family's population, to ‘atonement with work’ after learning the news, raised his eyebrows slightly, and conveyed his meaning to the little prince.

"Since the empress dowagers of the two palaces have the heart to roll the curtain and return to power as soon as possible, then I will take the heart of the empress dowagers of the two palaces."

The little prince did not say anything, and then conveyed the meaning of Ji Yanzhi to the empress dowagers of the two palaces. When the Empress Dowager Ci'an heard this, her eyes were filled with relief; but the Empress Dowager Cixi was shocked, then opened her eyes in disbelief, and immediately recovered her peace.

The Empress Dowager Cixi deeply felt that she, who had no intention of delegating power, was fooled by the combination of the Empress Dowager Ci'an and Ji Yanzhi. After all, she is passionate about power, and knows deeply that once power is lost, it will be difficult to find it again.

If the decentralized emperor’s nature is mild or cowardly, but she is born with a kind of self-understanding, Ji Yanzhi's wolf nature, and wants to seize power from him, even if she is a real mother, she will be bitten alive. It's a piece of meat, and it's not necessarily successful.

"Finally, it seems that the Ai family is not destined to become a figure who assists three generations of emperors like Empress Xiaozhuangwen."

The words that Empress Dowager Cixi sighed in frustration didn't take long to reach Ji Yanzhi's ears, and Ji Yanzhiyun's light smile was forgotten. He is very busy now, not only has to deal with the Qing army fighting the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, but also think about how to organize it to the extreme, and all have become the Eight Banners of the big smoke pot.

If possible, Ji Yanzhi would rather lay off all the Baqi brothers and distribute them all together to build workers in various industries that are now Ji Yanzhi’s private property, and then reorganize Baqi. After all, sometimes it is much easier to tear down and rebuild than waste to rebuild.

However, given that the Qing Dynasty was dominated by many ethnic minorities, some of him felt that good decisions were not so practical, so Ji Yanzhi could only choose the method of'waste transformation' to take it slowly. Ji Yanzhi believes that there will be one day, Man Han The family is no longer just talking about it in the Qing Dynasty, but it is true.

On April 27th of the third year of Tongzhi (1864), Hong Xiuquan, the heavenly king of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, died of illness in Tianjing. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Army began to have no leader, and began to encounter a fierce attack by the Qing troops dominated by the Huai Army of the Hunan Army. On June 16, Zeng Guoquan of the Hunan Army captured Tianjing. On June 17, the young heavenly king Hong Tianguifu escaped from Tianjing. Finally, on September 25th, the young heavenly king was captured by the Qing army in the barren hills of Shicheng, Jiangxi.

On the seventh day of September in the third year of Tongzhi (1864), the Czarist Russian government, in accordance with the provisions of the Sino-Russian Beijing Treaty on the boundary between the Qing Dynasty and the western part of Russia, strongly requested the Qing imperial mission to survey the northwestern border affairs minister Ming Yi and others.

Ji Yanzhi has been the emperor of different worlds, and it can be said that he has rarely encountered such aggrieved things.

One of the queen mothers who listened to politics in the two palaces lived in the shallows and lived in the Ci Ning Palace to eat fast and reciting the Buddha; the other was'forced' to recuperate and was not allowed to leave the palace; Ji Yanzhi became pro-government because of this. Strictly speaking, Ji Yanzhi had only recently taken office, and the entire Qing dynasty was rotten and rotten.

Ji Yanzhi wants to cut the meat to heal his wounds, and he will inevitably dig the broken bones together sometimes. But no matter how much reform is carried out, it will take time. It would be okay if the Qing dynasty had one mind, but Nima's actual situation was such that Ji Yanzhi had to say 10,000 MMPs every day.

He wanted to reform and build a new Qing Dynasty against everywhere, lest I spend all my money on business, so that they would not have the opportunity to bow down to the Gentiles.

Ji Yanzhi didn’t know if the Qing Dynasty’s semi-feudal and semi-slavery system aggravated the servility of the majority of the people. Some officials, in the name of sharing worries for the sacred, kept arranging land and paying compensation to pray for temporary peace.

Anyway, my ancestors grew up on horseback, don't you know that peace is never made by cedeing land and asking for compensation, but by playing out.

Whoever has a hard fist has the right to speak.

The direction of the reform and prosperity of the Qing dynasty lies in the military power, rather than chanting the slogan of ‘reform’ while actively seeking reconciliation in the form of compensation from various places.

Anyway, Ji Yan’s heart clearly understands that this Russian request must not be accepted. Once agreed, it will be the same as the real history that Ji Yanzhi knows, east of China’s western Balkhash Lake, south of Lake Balkhash, and Jaisang Nur. More than 440,000 square kilometers of territory in the north and south will be ceded to Russia.

Damn, I don't know that my own 10,000 private soldiers, who have worked so hard to form and trained for a few months, can support a few of them in the hands of an army of hundreds of thousands when they are dispatched in Russia. Do you really want to suffocate your breath and cede more than 440,000 square kilometers of territory east and south of Lake Balkhash in western China and the north and south areas of Jaisang Nur to Russia?

MMP, as long as he thinks of this possibility, Ji Yanzhi feels frustrated.

The more he thought about it, the more angry Ji Yanzhi directly smashed the case table.

People gave the nickname "Devil Six" to Aixinjueluo? Seeing Ji Yanzhi so irritable, Yi sighed in his heart.

Aixinjueluo? In fact, Yi really didn't want to talk to him, the nephew of the emperor who was irritable when he mentioned the treaties signed by the Qing government and various countries, and said that the Russian ambassador had been impatiently waiting. Because in his opinion, although Ji Yanzhi, the emperor's nephew, said that he was young and old and had the legacy of the saint ancestor Kangxi, he was actually not familiar with government affairs.

The Qing dynasty is now like a broken ship full of holes but driving on the vast ocean. The only thing it can do is to block the holes so that the big ship can continue to sail on the ocean. But Ji Yan thinks differently. What he thinks is to tear down the broken ship full of holes, throw away all the unimportant things and even the borers that caused the big ship to be full of holes, and then let all the passengers on the broken ship hug. Survive together with the wooden planks, and then return to the starting point to rebuild a brand-new big ship.

Aixinjueluo? Yi feels that this gecko’s tail docking rebirth method is good, but it is too whimsical, and it is more difficult to implement than to block holes and whitewash.

"Uncle Six, why don't you speak up?"

After smashing the case table and finally calming down a little bit, Ji Yanzhi spoke suddenly and broke the Aixinjueluo? Yi was distracted.

Recovered Aixinjueluo? He sighed, "Long live, it is difficult for the Qing Dynasty. The minion knows that you cannot accept the indemnity of the cession of land. To be honest, the minion cannot accept the indemnity of the cession of land. But the problem is that the "Sino-Russian Beijing Treaty" has been signed. If you do, the Qing Dynasty will immediately face war. The Qing Dynasty has experienced two Opium Wars and can no longer withstand the washings of war."

Ji Yanzhi gritted his teeth: "...Sixth Uncle, I know this truth. I only hate my young age and can’t prevent such a power-defeating and humiliating thing from happening. But can’t it really be delayed. Just give me another year, no, no? No, it is to give me another half a year, and I promise to train a strong army of ten thousand people to come out."

Aixinjueluo? Yi stayed silent for a moment, after all he opened the mouth to tell Ji Yanzhi what the Russian ambassador had been impatiently waiting for.

"This is easy." Ji Yanzhi seemed to be relieved and said: "I will arrange for the inspector to check out what this Russian ambassador named York Tsevsky or Kevsky likes, and give him a good drink if he is good. Give him wine, if you have good money, give him money, if you are a woman, give him some women."

Aixinjueluo? Yi was silent for a while, before saying for a long time: "...Long live master, when you said that when you let the minions delay you for half a year, the minions really delayed the time for half a year. If the strong ten thousand troops in the words of the long live masters hadn't been trained."

"And even if the training is really done, the strong ten thousand troops in the words of Long live Lord will win against the Russian army accustomed to the cold weather. It is unpredictable. It is better to learn the ancient Han Xinren's shame under the crotch, agree to cede the land and compensate, and then step up. Develop national strength. At the same time, the trained 10,000 troops will be scattered and distributed to various places so that they can lead the troops and train the troops."

Now it was Ji Yanzhi's turn to remain silent. Ji Yanzhi was silent for a long time before suddenly asking: "Uncle Six, tell me honestly, is this your idea, or is it Zeng Guofan or Li Hongzhang?"
