C35 Prince Gong's Mansion

The experts who were familiar with the ancient buildings in the Ming and Qing dynasties were definitely familiar with this saying, because this was the famous Prince Gong's Mansion.

Prince Kung Yi, nicknamed Bidens, had basically monopolized the diplomatic affairs of Daqing before Li Hongzhang became successful. And in the end, he gave the The right to diplomacy to Bei Yang because his body was getting weaker and weaker every day, otherwise, it would have been too late for Li Hongzhang to take over the job.

"A Prince Gong's Mansion, half of the Qing Dynasty's history. Right now, this is the core of the Empire's diplomacy. Bidens's power is at its peak, and his opponent isn't easy to deal with …" Xiao Letian sat on the that he borrowed and stopped 100 meters away from the entrance of the Prince Mansion. In front of the Carriage, there was a line of palanquins that had already blocked off the main street.

"Aiya! Isn't this nine commander? "Greetings to Zeng adults …" If Housekeeper from the outer sect of Prince Mansion kowtowed for a thousand years, his brain would be as low as it could get.

The surrounding people had never seen the Prince Gong's Mansion's Housekeeper act so respectfully, all of them were whispering to each other, who knew the ins and outs of this place, they all quietly explained, "You guys don't know this master? "Aiyo, you really are useless officials. nine commander is Great Marshal Zeng's ninth brother …"

"Ceng Guoquan!" It was unknown who was the fool who shouted out loud, "So it's him, didn't court let him go to Zhejiang to become patrolling? Why is the Beijing here again … "

"Shut up, are you crazy? Donkey, you … Let Ceng Titou hear you call his name, be careful of your head. What patrolling? He was the one who single-handedly promoted the Xiang Jun. nine commander was the one who led the army to attack the Heavenly Capital City. "Also, I heard that this time nine commander entered the capital for Great Marshal Zeng. Ceng Guofan is going to enter the capital soon …"

Everyone was discussing and talking about nine commander and his brother, the famous and famous two Wu steelers in history, the Zeng Family that was just destroyed was in the middle of a great battle, and the 500 thousand that they had in their hands was a military force that the entire Qing Dynasty was afraid of. Historically speaking, the Manchu had spent a lot of effort to guard against these two brothers.

Ceng Guoquan acted as if he didn't hear what the others were talking about, he happily helped Housekeeper up, "You old dog, you have already mastered the art of training in Prince and underhand. You are truly a pain to me …" "Someone come, honor Housekeeper with three thousand taels …"

"Thank you, nine commander!" Someone, open the door to greet nine commander... Don't decline, the middle gate was opened by Prince himself. Prince also said that nine commander is going to stand inside the two gates to welcome you … "

Aiya, what a great honor, the Official who was waiting in line started to talk loudly, and for Prince Kung to open the middle gate to welcome them, and even stand at two gates to welcome them, this Zeng Family Wu Tie was simply too much of a face.

nine commander only slightly declined the offer before swaggering into the main entrance, causing the surrounding Official to be extremely envious. Xiao Letian sneered, "A bunch of idiots, just based on their flashy face, they can't even open the doors, what's the use of having money and soldiers. These days, having soldiers is the most beneficial thing for having money, when English and French is training in Taihe Temple, they don't even need you to open the doors for them … Alright, after Ceng Titou is done, it's my turn. Go around these palmetto s and we'll be the first one to go! "

The s that were borrowed through Liu Yisi easily bypassed the group of palmetto and started stuffing more items inside in exchange for a group of people's accusations, "Hey hey hey, what's the point of saying it so that the foreigners can cut the line? Line up behind... Eh? The person in the car wasn't a foreigner, but a two evil spirits? "Aiya, isn't that Alone overseas, Xiao Letian?!"

A thousand ripples suddenly appeared, all the servants at the door, including Official and the Prince Mansion were all dumbstruck, they watched as the black Carriage stuffed the first one, then they jumped down from the carriage and a man dressed in a white dress, two evil spirits, walked over, holding onto the staff in his white gloves, with a sense of ease in his steps.

"Precious Wu Steel? "Housekeeper!" Xiao Letian shouted twice before waking him up. "This is my invitation." With that said, he stuffed the invitation card into Housekeeper's arms and walked forward with large strides.

"Hey hey hey, Mr. Xiao, wait a moment …"

"What do you mean? Oh... Was it because I forgot to give it to the Door Packs? With that, he stuffed two eagles used by foreigners into Housekeeper's hands. How could Housekeeper from Prince Gong's Mansion care about this small amount of money. He stood there awkwardly with his face turning green.

"Thank you, Mr. Xiao's reward …" "Men, open the gates to meet Mr. Xiao. two gates Prince, welcome him personally …" When the shout came out, the entire street in front of the residence went into an uproar. Everyone was shocked for a long time and they were completely speechless. Even Xiao Letian was stunned.

This was Corporal Li Xian? Is this helping me turn the tables in front of Qing Liu? No wonder Bidens was able to control the diplomatic service of the entire Empire. His eyesight is really not bad, to be able to see through the Baby just by looking at my book? Xiao Letian raised his head and looked at the creaking of the main door as it slowly opened up, as if the Empire was opening up to him.

The ancients said that the Hou Clan was as deep as the sea, not to mention the Prince Mansion, when Xiao Letian walked into the Prince Gong's Mansion, a wave of wealth that was purely piled up from servants almost tripped him up.

There were eunuchs and servants standing respectfully everywhere, as well as maids who were tiptoeing back and forth. Every room was filled with noise. When two evil spirits, who was wearing a foreign dress, walked past them, everyone stood up and pointed at him.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Letian thought it was pretty good. If Bidens was playing with me like a monkey, then he had called me over to watch the scene for Official. Not long later, the two gates arrived. However, it was not only Bidens who welcomed him, even Nine Commanders Ceng Guoju, who was standing beside him, was staring at him with a smile.

"This is Alone overseas from the Capital, Xiao Letian, Mr. Xiao. I have been looking forward to this for a long time. Seeing her in high spirits today, please …" Prince's Yi Yuan actually extended his hand and gestured Xiao Letian to enter. Nine Commanders Ceng Guoju was even more enthusiastic. He actually walked down the stairs and grabbed Xiao Letian's hand.

"Only a strange man can write such a strange essay. Ever since mister's《 Journey to the West》 shocked the Capital, I have read it four or five times without missing a word. It is truly an epiphany. With that, he dragged Xiao Letian to the back garden, which was also the famous Extract Garden.

Xiao Letian enjoyed the beautiful scenery of the famous garden along the way while carefully thinking about the inner workings behind this banquet. Prince Kung Yi: "Now is the time to wear a Pants with Zhou Tie. The two of them colluded with each other to deal with outsiders." The uprising of Farmers within Qing Dynasty was going to be suppressed, so Han Chen and the rest of the Royal Family had to be on their guard. Even the opposition of the Royal Family represented by Ci An had to keep a close eye on the situation.

In Xiao Letian's memory, the alliance between the two of them only broke after light thread ascended to the throne and the generals of the Xiang Jun gradually aged and lost their ambition to rebel. On top of that, when Ci An was killed and Ci Xi completely surrendered to the Royal Family, the alliance was dissolved. Today's opponent must have been instructed by Ci Xi. This opponent wasn't easy to deal with.

Furthermore, Ceng Guoquan was not someone who was easy to deal with. In the historical records, this Brothers had instigated his brother to rebel more than once, and in the real world, after the Xiang Jun was pacified, there were 500 thousand elite soldiers and a large number of Speargun cannons. On the other hand, in the center of Manchu, Seng Gelinqin had completely disregarded the last bit of elite troops. In terms of overall strength, they were not even a match for the Xiang Jun.

According to legend, it was Ceng Guofan's first time returning to Capital City after calming down. The first thing Ci Xi said when he saw him was, "How many men did you bring into the capital today?" Ceng Guofan was so scared that he broke out in cold sweat all night. It could be seen just how suspicious they were of each other.

"Damn it, these two are completely enemies. What are you trying to do by coming to see me at the same time?" "What a strong smell of conspiracy."

"Buying a crew to drink with us today is just an excuse." Prince did not appear when the gong and drums in the theater in the rear garden sounded, instead, he sat together at a table in a small and unadorned study.

Xiao Letian looked at the exquisite dishes in front of him, but none of them could be called by name. Every time palace maid only served four dishes, Liu Tie would use three chopsticks at most and be immediately removed. The personal attendants of the two maids standing behind him, one on his left and the other on his right, made Wu Tie's hair stand on end. modern man was really not used to this personal service. He didn't even have a place to put his two hands, even the food was taken care of by the maids. As long as you opened your mouth, it would be fine.

After drinking three rounds of food, General Xie Zi and Marshal Jiu looked at each other and smiled. Ceng Guoguo spoke first, "Mister Xiao is really a man who grew up in the west. When I looked at Mister's right hand just now, I realized that there was only a callus on the left side of your middle finger. This means that you grew up holding a foreign pen since you were young.

Xiao Letian's heart skipped a beat. Awesome, who said that the ancients didn't have the experience? The ancients only had less knowledge of natural sciences and an unknown period of historical knowledge than Traveller. As long as adults was able to leave his name in the history books, how could he give it to them for nothing?

"Mr. Xiao, Blossom House Wang Hanlin has been rude to you before. This King apologizes for him. He's already old and doesn't understand new things, why do you have to lower yourself to him? For my sake, just let this matter go …"

When Xiao Letian heard this, he felt that there was a hidden meaning behind his words. Bidens was indeed the famous Diplomat of the late Qing Dynasty. These words were truly comprehensive and had thorns in them. On the surface, it looked like he was trying to persuade Xiao Letian, but the subtext was to tell Xiao Letian, that we already know the background of the Taibai Lou, and we are very clear on the tricks you have used, it is too easy to deal with you.

This time, Xiao Letian was facing a real opponent. In the past, what Fu Qing? Liu County Order? Bethanath sir zhong? These small characters couldn't even compare to these historical figures. The power in their hands was beyond Xiao Letian's imagination, crushing him like this was an easy task.

"Now I have to hide my strength …" Prince said. How could I dare to hold a grudge against Old Han Lin? But you also know, I grew up in the west, where people respect women a lot. He, Wang Shizheng, can scold me, but he can't scold me, daughter-in-law. I'm just an indomitable man.

"Haha, forget it, it's not a big deal." Ceng Guoquan started to smooth things over with his wineglass. "Mr. Xiao grew up overseas after all, and foreigners are just this type of extrovert. If Brother Xiao had hidden his temper and tolerated it, I really wouldn't believe that you grew up overseas …" Prince, let's get back to business! "

Prince Kung Yi: "Mr. Xiao, this king will ask you one thing. If our Daqing is going to undergo a change, how do you think we should change?"
