Ten Dragons Take the Inheritance

Chapter 434 Butterfly Wings ([-])

Home and everything prosper, this is the truth wherever you go, it is hard to imagine how much a family with a backyard that is always on fire can do.Yinzuo is clear about this reason. Of course, he also understands that since ancient times, no matter whether it is a big family or a big family, there will always be problems and conflicts of one kind or another. As for the palace, the darkest corner of the world, intrigues and struggles for power and profit have never stopped. However, this is the case no matter which dynasty, Yin Zuo was not naive enough to think that it was his turn to be spared, but Yin Zuo did not expect that the matter had become so serious that a group of court ladies dared to talk about it in broad daylight. The queen's fault, it can be seen that the gladiatorial fight in the harem has become too fierce and unseemly.

Except for the homework of the sons, Yinzuo has always ignored the affairs of the family. Yinzuo didn't hear any rumors. Considering Yinzuo's eyes and ears in the palace, those miscellaneous things can't be hidden from Yinzuo. It's just that Yinzuo has always maintained Lan Yueer's prestige. It is true that there is not much time left to rectify the harem, but in the face of the current situation, Yinzuo has to take care of it if he doesn't want to.

Uh huh, who the hell are they, a bunch of bastards!Yinzuo only took a glance and found that among the group of eight or nine court ladies, except for the maids of the empress dowager and empress palaces, there were maids from any palace, even Wang Xifeng's personal maid who Yin Zuo loved the most. Inside, Yinzuo's face suddenly became extremely ugly, his eyes were on fire, and he glared at the dumbfounded palace ladies.

"Your servant kowtows to the emperor." A court lady in a light blue palace attire reacted first, knelt down and kowtowed in panic, and then the other court ladies knelt down as if they had just woken up from a dream, kowtowing in trembling voices.

"Very good, very good!" Yin Zuo gritted his teeth, and said coldly: "Everyone is courageous, the queen dares to talk about it, I'm afraid there is no less talk about me behind the scenes, it's amazing, it's amazing No way."

"Slaves deserve death, slaves deserve death, your majesty, please spare me." Upon hearing Yinzuo's unfriendly tone, all the women in the uterus turned pale with fright, and all of them kowtowed and begged for mercy.

Yinzuo's face was dark, and before he could speak, Gao Nianying, the eunuch who heard the noise, quickly led a group of young eunuchs to run over. Although he didn't understand what happened, he could guess from Yinzuo's angry look. It's almost the same, but Gao Nianying is very well-behaved, knowing that the affairs of the harem are out of his control, so he peeked at Yinzuo, stood with his head down and dared not make a sound.

Gao Nianying didn't dare to say anything, but Yin Zuo didn't intend to let him go, he glanced up at Gao Yingnian, and said in a calm voice: "Gao Nianying, pull these idiots down, hit twenty big boards hard, and send them all to Xin Zheku go."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Gao Nianying trembled in fear, and hurriedly lowered his head to answer.When the womb girl heard that she was going to be sent to Xinzheku as a slave, she immediately howled and begged for mercy, which made Yinzuo even more upset, and said with a cold snort: "Gao Nianying, pass on my will, from now on Anyone in the harem who dares to criticize the empresses of other palaces indiscriminately will be severely punished and rushed to Xinzheku as a slave!" As soon as the words fell, he ignored the gang of eunuchs and maids, and walked towards Kunning Palace in a somewhat depressed manner.

"Your Majesty, it's all bad for the concubines, which made the emperor angry." Lan Yue'er, who had already received the news when she saw Yinzuo stepping into the Kunning Palace, knelt down at the gate of the palace, her head bowed, choked with sobs said.

"Get up." Yin Zuo raised his hand impatiently, and without looking at Lan Yue'er, he walked into the palace with a livid face, and lay down on the couch casually, sulking, always in his heart Figure out how to deal with these messy things in the harem.

"My lord." Lan Yue'er walked slowly to Yinzuo's side, knelt down, and looked at Yinzuo with red eyes.

Hey, Lan Yue'er is gentle and considerate, generous, and doesn't care about others. She is supposed to be a good wife and mother, but unfortunately in the emperor's house, these advantages have turned into disadvantages. It's time to suffer.Yin Zuo got up, took Lan Yue'er into his arms with compassion, and said softly: "Xiao Yue'er, I know that you have been unhappy all this time, and I have already made a will. Anyone who dares to Discussing things about the harem will definitely be severely punished, but, hey, it’s just that Xiaoyue’er, you should sometimes act like a queen in the palace, so that you can restrain those servants. If you don’t understand anything, you can ask the queen mother more. The old man asks for one or two advices, or else, just talk to me."

Listening to Yinzuo's gentle words, Lan Yueer's tears finally couldn't stop falling, she nodded her head vigorously, responded softly, fell on Yinzuo's chest, and began to cry happily...

Good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles, this is absolutely true, even though Yin Zuo has issued a password, but this bad thing in the harem spread quickly, everyone who should know knows it, but No one dared to make irresponsible remarks on this matter. The big guys all pretended that this was not the case, so they did what they should do.Although Hongyang was busy in the Ministry of Rites, someone would naturally come to inform him. It stands to reason that his mother had been wronged, so a son should express his indignation no matter what, or rush back to the palace to comfort his mother. He didn't do that, and he still insisted on finishing the affairs of the Ministry of Rites. Then he left the Ministry of Rites and didn't go back to the palace directly. He didn't even change Baylor's outfit, and went directly to a private house on Dongda Street not far from Donghua Gate. middle.

"Mr. Xiao." Hongyang walked into the study alone without even bringing the eunuch with him, looked at Xiao Yao who was immersed in studying the mansion newspaper, and called out very politely.

"Oh, the second master is here." Xiao Yao raised his head, glanced at Hongyang, and suddenly found that although Hongyang's face was stable, there was a trace of discontent in his eyes, and he was stunned for a moment and said: "What? Second master's heart Something wrong with your head? What's wrong?"

Hongyang's originally calm face twisted slightly, and he said softly, "It's nothing, it's just that something happened in the palace."

"Second Master's words are wrong, there are no trivial matters in the palace, so let's talk about it." Xiao Yao shook his head and said.

Hongyang let out a sigh of relief, and gave an overview of the current situation in the palace and what happened today, with a rather unhappy expression on his face.Xiao Yao listened quietly without interrupting, until Hongyang finished the matter, smiled and said: "Second Master, these things are not for you to intervene, don't bother, the Holy Majesty will take care of it, if you intervene It's not beautiful to go in. A certain view of the emperor's actions has always been very protective of the empress, and he will never tolerate others bullying the empress. Oh, by the way, I checked the residence newspapers for the past few days, and it seems that the emperor It is planned to carry out currency value reform, well, if the calculation is not bad, there will be a big move on the currency value issue within the year, and it seems that the big brother has made this achievement is a certainty."

"Well, although Huang Ama hasn't issued a clear edict yet, the news has already been released, and it will come soon." Hongyang didn't mention this to Xiao Yao, but Xiao Yao actually learned from the clues reported by the mansion. Such a conclusion really made Hongyang admire.

"What? Is Second Master not in a hurry?" Xiao Yao asked with a slight smile, but Hongyang didn't reply, he just opened the folding fan in his hand and shook it lightly, looking as if he was at leisure.

"Hehe, it's right not to be in a hurry." Xiao Yao asked himself and answered authentically: "Brother, although he is very smart, he lost his impatience. The Holy One is in the heyday of Spring and Autumn, and the eldest brother is so eager to fight. It is a strange thing not to invite holy taboos. This is the best way to do it. The second master must not follow suit. The Holy Majesty is a passerby, and it is very difficult to cheat the Holy Majesty. Yes, the Holy Majesty He is a person who values ​​actual performance, and he only values ​​those who can produce actual results, but don't forget that what the Holy One values ​​more is the heart, the human heart. As long as the second master can make real achievements with real materials, no matter how much others fiddle around, it will be in vain , Your Majesty will give Second Master a chance, Second Master only needs to do one thing at a time."

"Mister's words are very good, Ben Baylor knows it well." Hongyang chuckled, and the big stone in his heart for several months finally fell to the ground...

On the second day of November in the third year of Yuanzhuo, the British and Dutch envoys finally arrived at the capital. The Ministry of Rites was in charge of receiving them and arranged to stay in two places outside the city, the Tranquility Garden and the Lion Garden. Both gardens belonged to Prince Yin Zuodang. The gardens built at that time were not far from Changchun Garden, but one was on the east side and the other was on the west side. Although the ambassadors of Britain and the Netherlands lodged protests, they were rejected by the officials of the Ministry of Rites. Under the circumstances, the English mission stayed in the Tranquility Garden, and the Dutch mission stayed in the Lion Garden.

The visit of the British and Dutch envoys was originally expected by the Ministry of Rites of the Qing Dynasty, but what made the officials of the Ministry of Rites a headache was that the Russian embassy had almost arrived in the capital, and the leader of the team was the former Russian ambassador Jin Xi. Colonel Tprovsky, who claimed to be the special envoy of Peter the Great, issued a decree from the inner court, instructing the Ministry of Rites to ignore the Russian embassy, ​​and ordered the Council of Governors to arrange the Russian embassy in the Russian embassy and send troops to guard it. The approval of the inner court does not allow the Russian mission to go out at will.

According to the arrangement of the Ministry of Rites, the fourth day of November is the day for formal negotiations. However, it was only the third day of the third day when the British and Dutch envoys posed a big problem to the officials of the Ministry of Rites. He pointed out to the official of the Ministry of Rites who was in charge of the reception that Britain and the Netherlands were originally one, and that if they wanted to negotiate, they had to talk together, otherwise they would not talk.This conflicted with the principle of separate negotiations originally set by the inner court. The officials of the Ministry of Rites did not dare to neglect, and quickly reported the matter to Prince Cheng, who was in charge of the Ministry of Rites. This matter was so important that Yun Zhi did not dare to make a decision without authorization, so he directly led the people to the Changchunyuan asked for a face-to-face saint.

Hmm, it seems that the two countries must have a secret agreement in private, so I don't know what cards the two countries have. I don't believe that the two countries really wear a pair of pants, just wait and see.After listening to Prince Cheng's report, Yin Zuo thought for a while and said, "Let's talk about it first, and see what they have in hand. Anyway, they don't live together. After understanding their limits, it's okay to split up. , here is the Qing Dynasty, and I am afraid that they will turn against the heavens, so let's make it so." Prince Cheng Yunzhi hurriedly replied, and hurried to arrange related matters without mentioning it.

On the night of the third day of November in the third year of Yuanzhuo, the first heavy snow fell in the capital. It was not too big, but it was in the middle of the night. A thin layer of white snow dyed the capital into a vast expanse of whiteness.On the fourth day of November, although the snow had stopped long ago, the sky was still gloomy without a ray of sunshine. The talks between the three countries that had been prepared to hold talks with the three parties kicked off on time at the Yunya Pavilion in Changchun Garden. Under the guidance of the leaders, they stepped into the lobby respectively. After the interpreter introduced the titles of the participants from both sides, the negotiation began.

"Your Excellency, this is the letter of credence entrusted by Her Majesty Queen Anne to submit to the emperor of your country." At the beginning of the meeting, the British ambassador Van Foster Green immediately preemptively took out a letter of credence and handed it to the emperor across the long table. The representative of the Qing Dynasty said loudly: "I am authorized by Queen Anne to go to your country. Our country requires your country to open the three ports of Guangzhou, Tianjin, and Qingdao as ports of friendship and trade, and allow the Kingdom of Great England to operate in your country. The above-mentioned three ports set up commercial banks, and at the same time allow the merchant ships and warships of the Great England Kingdom to dock at the above-mentioned three ports. At the same time, the Great England Kingdom also hopes to set up an embassy in the capital of your country. rent and pay taxes according to the laws of your country, and your country can also set up a corresponding embassy in London, the capital of the Kingdom of Great England, so that the two sides can exchange information and maintain the good tradition of peaceful coexistence."

As soon as the English ambassador Van Foster Green finished speaking, the Dutch ambassador, Earl Van Horn Cage, ignored the diplomatic etiquette and did not wait for the interpreter to interpret Van Foster Green's words, so he hurriedly stood up as well. He also submitted the letter of credence, and said anxiously: "Your Excellency, I am entrusted by William IV of our country to submit the letter of credence to the emperor of your country. Our requirements are completely consistent with those of the Kingdom of England. Your emperor please approve it." .”
