C52 Tzu Hsi's Cousin?

Taizu had once said, "In terms of strategy, you have to look down on Enemy, but in terms of tactics, you have to pay attention to Enemy."

Looking at the general trend in the long run, the late Qing cultivators that were represented by the corrupt Confucianism were destined to be swept into the dustbin of history. Even Imperial Advisor Weng Tonghe was sent back to his hometown by Ci Xi, he was stripped of all his official positions, and finally the old man died from depression.

To the grand historical trend, the Confucian Scholars who were tightly holding onto Sage's words were unable to defend themselves against the rumbling Steel s of the Industrial Revolution and the surging waves of the natural sciences. Right now, they could only rely on thousands of years of inertia and a bit of folklore to maintain their final bit of dignity.

From a strategic point of view, Qing Liu was not Xiao Letian's match. They were not worth Xiao Letian's effort at all. Sooner or later, they would jump into the dustbin of history.

However, in terms of tactics, you definitely couldn't underestimate the power of these Qing Liu group. From the kidnapping case at the temple to the various difficulties Qing San Ye was facing, anyone with a discerning eye could tell who was behind black hand.

The reason why Qing Liu was so strong was because they had taken control of the entire imperial examinations system from the bottom level all the way to Top, from the basic training of talents to the big exams in the Northern Capital City. These were the traditional positions of the Qing Liu students. They used the identity of a teacher and student to form a huge network of contacts, one that could not even be controlled by the imperial power in a given period of time.

Not only that, these book reader also had control over the public opinion. At the bottom level of Empire, among those naturally formed Villages, who else could illiterate Farmers not listen to? The mouths of book reader, who lived in the village, formed the most basic circle of public opinion in the feudal China. They were part-time media people, living Newspapers, living internet, one by one.

Xiao Letian could imagine, that these malicious literati were making up lies one after another to deceive the Daqing's people, in their mouths, Xiao Letian had already become a demon, with a green face, fierce teeth, eating human flesh, and a foreigner Ghastly Soldier trying to subvert the Daqing's dynasty.

"Sigh!" Xiao Letian let out a long sigh, "San Ye, oh San Ye, after you get the credit, a proper aristocrat of Manchuria, like book reader, doesn't dare to do anything to you. You can say that the tactics you use are the most 'affectionate' one. If I were to participate in this field trip, the poison scheme that Qing Liu came up with would be something that you would never be able to imagine even if you died … Forget it, even if you beat me to death, I won't get involved with you! "

Xiao Letian finally decided to ignore Qing San Ye's request for help. When Fu Hui heard the news, she looked as wronged as a grieving woman. In the end, even tiger chick could tell that something was wrong. Since Qing San Ye is with us, can't you help him? Wasn't it just going out to do some research? You have even traveled across the entire Europe, are you still afraid of inspecting the boundaries of the Daqing? "

Xiao Letian's face turned bitter. "What do you know?" The difficulties that San Ye is facing now are broken, but if I go to him, the difficulties he faces will be doubled. "If you don't want me to go to save the fire, then that would be lighting the fire …"

Fu Hui was, after all, the eighth banner of the Capital City, Aunt. Therefore, she did not have a long distance to go between them and politics. When she heard what Xiao Letian had said, she was stunned: "You're saying that someone got in my way?"

Xiao Letian shook his head: "Isn't this nonsense? Once Industrial Zones is successful, he will have to absorb countless Civilians and people to work inside. The corresponding Technology training is also required. "Once a person opens their eyes, it will be difficult for you to fool them. worker, who has received education from the West, would immediately abandon those lies …"

"Why are the Qing Liu people playing tricks on us? Because they are too scared. They are afraid that one day, all of the Liu steels will not believe them. "That is to say, all the difficulties San Ye has encountered are all artificially organized …"

"Don't worry, San Ye is Full Manchu Imperial Armour after all. Those who are causing trouble won't dare to be so merciless." "On the contrary, if I were to step in, you would be fortunate enough to see the real universal population cursing scene, and you might even end up killing a few of them …" Xiao Letian helplessly drained his cup.

Bang! Fu Hui angrily threw her chopsticks on the Table. "You dare to touch my brother? This group of Bastard don't want to live anymore. I'm going to the palace to look for Empress Mother, and I'm going to Old Buddha …" With that, Fu Hui stood up and wanted to leave.

"Ah?" Go to the palace and look for Empress Mother! "Are you joking …" "I'm Fuche's Lili, and I have been married to the Royal Family for generations. Even Empress Dowager Cixi was familiar with me before he entered the palace …"

"Are you for real?" Xiao Letian subconsciously stood up and grabbed Fu Hui's small hand, causing her to blush.

"This... What's so good about that... To fool you all, Empress Mother's birth mother is our Fuche's woman. According to seniority, I would have to call her auntie, but she … "Of course she's my cousin …" The more Fu Hui spoke, the lower her voice got. In the end, she blushed and hid her head in her chest.

Xiao Letian was completely stunned. He was extremely familiar with Ci Xi's life, but he did not know anything about Ci Xi's birth mother's identity. This was also due to the ancient people's habit of not recording women in books of history.

Ci Xi's father, Wei Zheng, was a Taoist of Ning Chi Guang, Anhui Province, and his mother was Fuche. In this way, the Wu siblings and Ci Xi could be considered as cousins. The two of them should be referred to as Ci Xi's first cousin.

"How can this be? If San Ye already has such a good Relatives, then why did he still have to spend money to buy an official? " Xiao Letian asked in confusion.

"Hey! Although Relatives is quite close, but you also don't forget, it's three thousand Li per surface. Relatives was originally ranked according to the family tree, so their relationship wasn't that close. When I was young, I only saw her three times. "What's more, Empress Mother has already contributed to Fu Qing's work in Xiling. He hasn't forgotten about us …"

Xiao Letian's whole body was excited. He finally understood that the Liu family was in decline. How could they still have a relationship with the Sun family? So the root is here. The huge Fuche is definitely one of the big names in the whole family. The connections that have accumulated for hundreds of years are unimaginable for outsiders.

The ancient clans had strong ideas, but the Eight Banner System was a bit like a large clan. Among them, there were different layers according to the nature of Title, and each of the Family were intermarried, it could be said that as long as it was Flag Man, he would be able to get close to the other.

Baby, that's the real Baby. With Fu Hui's connections and Xiao Letian's financial support, wouldn't she be a top-notch spy? What secrets did Fu Hui not know in the Manchu?

Cough cough cough … While Xiao Letian was still in a daze, a series of coughing sounds suddenly came from behind him. He then looked at A Chou, who was glaring at him. Xiao Letian had been in a daze for a long time. He had been holding Fu Hui's small hand and it had turned red.

tiger chick looked awkwardly at Xiao Letian and Fu Hui. The little girl seemed to have realized something, but she didn't dare to confirm it. However, A Chou did not have that many thoughts in his mind. The loyal and protective lass had already given Xiao Letian the most severe warning.

"Haha …" "Hahaha …" Xiao Letian quickly retracted his hand and scratched his head, "Sister Hui, don't worry, sit down peacefully. Isn't that San Ye's business? "It's easy, it's too easy …"

Xiao Letian did not dare to look at A Chou's furious eyes, nor did he dare to look at tiger chick's hidden bitterness. After drinking a cup of wine and calming himself down, he said, "Sister Hui, when we were in Beijing, I already knew that you were Manchu's famous Aunt, and that you were familiar with everyone from outside the palace to from Wang Sun to belle. In any case, each family's inner chamber has your handkerchief.

"Aren't you just trying to help San Ye settle a small problem because you're a heroine who has made friends all over the world?" Saying that, Xiao Letian whispered a few sentences into tiger chick's ears, after which, tiger chick nodded and walked towards study.

Under Fu Hui's puzzled gaze, tiger chick carried a one-foot square wooden box and strenuously placed it on top of the Table. "Sister Hui, open it and take a look …" When Fu Hui opened the box, the gem aura inside the box made her dazzled.

Jewelry, this is a big box of women's favorite jewelry, emerald, cat eye, jade, agate, pearl … A variety of hairpins, rings, bracelets... The box was stuffed full, and on top of the pile of jewelry, there was a roll of banknotes.

"This, this, this, this …" Why did you give me these things? " Fu Hui's mind couldn't wrap her head around it. Is this Xiao Letian going to support me? Pah pah pah, what are you thinking about in such a shameless manner.

Xiao Letian didn't know what Fu Hui was thinking. He continued, "Sister Hui, these jewelry are worth around forty to fifty thousand silver, there are still sixty thousand silver notes here. "The purpose of these jewelry and money is to let you come and go. Once you have spent them, I will give them to you …"

"After a period of time, my Oceanic will open for business, and Fu Qing will be part of it. At that time, you don't have to worry about money anymore, Sister Hui."

"Don't be a miser, spend your money properly and dig up information to build a relationship. Will San Ye and I be able to earn money in the future? "I'll have to trouble Sister Hui about this …" After saying that, Xiao Letian bowed to Fu Hui.

Fu Hui was so excited that tears were flowing down her cheeks. She had been struggling with the money these years and it was not easy for her to maintain a home. Brothers only had so many salary and Flag Man only had so few ironclad crops. Even if he had the talent of Wang Xifeng, he didn't have the family background of the Rong Country to let her manage it.

A total of a hundred thousand gold coins were hidden in the box and all the difficulties the Family was facing were solved immediately. With the exquisite jewelry inside, she could even build a good relationship with Empress Mother.

"Xiao brother... "You, what are you making me say …" Fu Hui took out her handkerchief and wiped her eyes. Don't be so kind to me and San Ye. gentleman is rich! Besides, I'm not giving it to Sister Hui for free, I just want you to help us gather more information. How can we open a path without money?

Just as Fu Hui was feeling emotional, Sima Yun's figure suddenly appeared from outside the door. "Mr. Xiao, come out first. There's something you need to report …"

When the two of them walked to the bottom of the osmanthus book, Sima Yun frowned and said softly, "Military Advisor, the twenty thousand Current silver that we shipped from Beijing with us were taken away by someone from Taiping Road … "There's only one robber …"

Xiao Letian was stunned when he heard that, "Twenty thousand silver were taken by one person? That's a fifteen-man team, and we picked out all the elite soldiers from the mountain stronghold. Were they taken away just like that? "

Xiao Letian's question almost made Sima Yun die of shame. "This subordinate is guilty, but Xiao Hexin has already rushed over. Brothers, we swear that we will find that Bastard even if we don't want to live …"
