Chapter 226 Political Marriage
Cixi is pleasant: "Minxiu, I know that you are worried about that matter, and it is indeed a little embarrassing to talk about it. However, the words come back, which shows that Zhou Charter is predestined to you!"
Minxiu was stunned. Zhou Charter peeked at her to take a shower. No matter what the reason was, it was always a disgraceful thing. Today, the old Buddha didn't know what he thought and defended Zhou Charter like this.
Cixi said slowly, "Minxiu is the harmony of our Qing Dynasty, which looks like jade. Zhou Charter is the general of Yizhou of the Qing Dynasty, handsome and unrestrained. This marriage, heroes and beautiful women, is really a good marriage that has never been encountered in thousands of years."
Minxiu's brain was still stunned, and Cherry immediately reacted: "Old Buddha Mingjian, Ge Ge and Zhou Charter are really the fate of the previous life. Ge Ge, thank you for your success."
Minxiu realized that the Empress Dowager was going to propose marriage to her! I want to marry her to Zhou Charter!
Zhou Charter looked at her body. If this matter hadn't spread, it would have been fine. Now that it has been made a lot of noise by Yetao, this matter has become an untiable dead knot, and the hall and the mastery have become the laughingstock of the Qing Dynasty!
Moreover, what's more seriously, people all over the world laugh at not only Minxiu, but also the whole royal family.
However, all the problems of the Empress Dowager's move were solved.
If more than half a year ago, the Empress Dowager could not have thought of this move. At that time, Zhou Charter was a penniless student and did not deserve the noble and master. The only solution is to kill Zhou Charter. But even if Zhou Charter is killed, Minxiu Gege's reputation will still be greatly damaged.
Now the situation is different. Zhou Charter has become a feudal official of the imperial court and a great hero against the Japanese! At this time, Zhou Charter married Minxiu, which not only made the world shut up, but also the whole royal face was extremely glorious! That ridiculous thing will not be laughed at by the world. On the contrary, it can also become a good story. Like the legend of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, it has been passed down through the ages - in the legend, the Cowherd peek at the Weaver Girl to take a bath before he got it!
Minxiu couldn't help but feel moved, but she was embarrassed to agree immediately, so she had to blush, lower her head and say nothing.
Cixi smiled and said, "Minxiu is embarrassed to say, that's all. Cherry, who do you think is better to do the matter for Gege?
"Old Buddha, I think it's the most appropriate way to go." Cherry said.
Cixi shook her head: "It's not appropriate. Jin is Zhou Charter's mentor, that is, Zhou Charter's father. How can a father propose marriage to his son? Pro-m marriage should be a matchmaker's business. I think Zaiyi, the prince of Duan, is a warm-hearted person and a royal relative. It's better for him to go there.
Minxiu's heart thumped and suddenly felt that there was something strange about it.
Zaiyi and the father and son of the Ye family are both sworn in Zhou Charter! Yetao dared to poke out that ridiculous thing because of the support behind his back!
Cixi has always been shrewd, and she will not know this!
However, she wants to be the matchmaker!
What's the idea of Empress Dowager Cixi?
Find a son-in-law for Gege, which is the family affairs of the royal family, but Minxiu deeply knows that the family affairs of the royal family are inseparable from state affairs! Especially the family affairs in the eyes of the old Buddha, it is more a kind of politics!
The future of marriage with politics is worrying!
Minxiu said in a hurry, "Old Buddha, the rules of the ancestors, Man-Han are not married."
Cixi laughed and said, "This is the 19th century. Our Qing Dynasty has both trains and ships. The rules of our ancestors should also keep pace with the times!" Besides, the ancestors also said that the Manhan family! Minxiu, don't worry, if I, an old woman, will make the decision for you, I'd like to see who dares to stop it!"
Minxiu sighed secretly in her heart. Although Master Cixi is a woman, her thoughts are not conservative at all! Those old men abide by the rules of their ancestors and dare not cross the thunder pool, but Cixi once violated the rules of their ancestors!
The ancestors said that women were not allowed to do politics, and Cixi launched a coup d'etat and killed Sushun! The ancestors said that when the emperor was 18 years old, he would be arbitrary, but Cixi came with a curtain to discipline him!
In the eyes of the old Buddha, the rules of the ancestors can be completely changed, but there is only one purpose - to consolidate her power!
Today, Cixi broke the rules of her ancestors again, which only shows that the marriage between Minxiu and Zhou Charter is conducive to her power!
A marriage mixed with politics is creepy!
"Old Buddha, shall we discuss this matter again..."
Cixi laughed and said, "I think this is the matter." With that, he stretched out and said, "I'm tired and want to be clean for a while."
Cherry quietly pulled the sleeves of Lamin embroidery.
Obviously, the old Buddha has made up his mind! Once the old Buddha has made up his mind, others will only have Shane's share, even if he is beheaded.
What's more, the Buddha didn't want to cut off Minxiu's head, but gave her a husband! This husband is not bad. Many girls in the capital dream of marrying him.
Zhou Charter has a pair of thief's eyes and is a little rogue, but according to the official statement, his mainstream is good. When looking at the princes and nobles of the Qing Dynasty, I really can't find a person who can compare with Zhou Charter.
Old Buddha said something, and there was something ridiculous. Minxiu could not refuse the marriage, although she vaguely felt that behind this marriage was full of danger.
Minxiu stood up and bent her knees to the Empress Dowager Cixi: "Thank you, Mr. Minxiu retreated."
Cixi smiled and raised her hand, and Minxiu and Cherry withdrew from the Foxiang Pavilion.
Minxiu had just left the Foxiang Pavilion, and the smile on Cixi's face stopped abruptly.
"Cui Yugui!" Cixi shouted.
A burly middle-aged eunuch flashed out from behind the gums and knelt in front of Cixi: "I'm there!"
The second general manager Cui Yugui is second only to the great general manager Li Lianying.
Li Lianying, the general manager, is weak, but clever and clever. She follows the empress dowager and is in charge of the life of the empress dowager.
Cui Yugui, the second general manager, is a strange person. He has practiced martial arts since childhood and has a good body. It is said that he can gossip and has something to do with Dong Haichuan. Cui Yugui's name is the second general manager, but he is generally not by the Empress Dowager's side, and he is not very in charge of the palace. The people in the palace don't know where he has gone. All day long, the dragon is mysterious.
Everyone in the palace knows that Li Lianying, the general manager, and Cui Yugui, the second general manager, are a little Dirty, but no one dares to ask more about what the reason. With Li Lianying's favor in front of the Empress Dowager, there is nothing she can do with this second chief. You can imagine Cui Yugui's position in the heart of the Empress Dowager.
"How about Fengtian?" Cixi asked.
"To the old Buddha, General Shengjing's Iketang is ready. He personally led people to surround the Fengyuan Inn and waited for you to speak." Cui Yugui bowed his head and said.
"Go and tell Ike Tang to withdraw the troops back to the house. Let's take this as if it hasn't happened."
"However, Zhou Charter killed Jia Shanren, the new governor."
"Jia Shanren bought a magistrate with 50,000 taels of silver. He didn't want to serve the court, but he colluded with bandits to mutilate the people. Such a dog official killed one less!" Cixi said coldly.
"Empress Dowager Mingjian!"
"Go to Fengtian and tell Ik Tang to stare at the old Russian Maozi in Zalantun!"
"What about Zhou Charter?" Cui Yugui asked.
The Empress Dowager Cixi stared at Cui Yugui fiercely and didn't say anything.
"I have a lot of words!" Cui Yugui trebled with fear.
"Before you go to Fengtian, you should do something first." Two cold lights came from Cixi's eyes: "Cui, the chief teacher of Tianjin Wubei School, was exposed! Also, Liu Bu Toad of Beiyang Marine... Forget it, let Liu Bu Toad go in advance!"
"Hit!"
......
Minxiu and cherry came out of the Foxiang Pavilion, went down Wanshou Mountain, and walked along the path by Kunming Lake.
Several crows walked leisurely on the frozen lake. Obviously, they have eaten and drunk enough.
Cherry saw no one left or right and whispered, "Congratulations, Gege, congratulations."
Minxiu's face was blue and he scolded, "At the beginning, why did you let him go?"
Cherry smiled and said, "Guge, in fact, Zhou Charter is really not a bad person. He is very honest and has the ability. If Li Hongzhang is killed, Gege will not have such a good husband!"
"You mean, you know more than me?"
"Cherry dare not!" Cherry said, "Gige, in fact, you know better than anyone that Zhou Charter is a good man. It's just that such an embarrassing thing happened, and Gegra didn't look down. Now, the old Buddha is the matchmaker himself. Let's see if the Ye family and his son dare to chew their tongues!"
Minxiu sighed.
"Guge, don't you want this marriage?" Cherry became nervous.
"It's not that I don't want to." Minxiu shook his head: "The Wenwu of the whole dynasty knows that the emperor's brother valued the Zhou Charter, but the old Buddha has always hated him. But today, the old Buddha's attitude suddenly changed greatly. I'm worried that there is something wrong with it.
"What's the problem?"
Minxiu looked around and whispered, "The Empress Dowager wants to hold Zhou Charter's heart with me!" It seems that the Empress Dowager wants to give up North Korea!"
Minxiu knew that the Imperial Party and the Later Party reached a consensus on the prospect of the war - the battle between the Qing Dynasty and the Japanese has reached the point of exhaustion. The only way is to exchange North Korea for peace. Otherwise, the Japanese will enter Shandong and attack Beijing, and the imperial court of the Qing Dynasty will be over.
However, this did not ease the contradiction between the two sides. On the contrary, the struggle between the two sides intensified.
If you want to give up North Korea, you have to let Zhou Charter and his Zhang Jun return to China!
Once the powerful Zhang Jun returns to China, he will inevitably become the object of competition between the imperial party and the post-party!
The Empress Dowager Buddha is going to use a sumo grid to grab the olive branch to the emperor and extend the olive branch to Zhou Charter.
This is the reason why the Empress Dowager asked Prince Duan Zaiyi to be the matchmaker. Everyone knows that Zaiyi is the empress dowager! It is the enemy of the emperor! If Zhou Charter is a sensible person, he should know what to do!
The Empress Dowager is too old and spicy, and the emperor is not her opponent!
