Eunuchs who traveled through the Qing Dynasty

Even if I have a brother like you, this life is worth it! "Standing violently, he shattered the wine glass, pointed to the sky with one hand, and said loudly: "Jing Shou throws the glass as an oath: From now on, Xiao Ran will be my brother of Jing Shou, but he will go through fire and water if he needs his brother. , duty-bound!If there is a broken oath, there is such a cup! "

Jing Shou has a dull and straightforward personality, and when he made such an oath, Xiao Ran knew that it was indeed sincere.Immediately, like him, they threw a cup as an oath, and the two became sworn brothers with different surnames in this Spring and Autumn Building.

Jing Shou was overjoyed and asked Chong to change to a bigger bowl. He drank three or four bowls in a row.Drunkenness welled up, he stared at his two red eyes, and said in a low voice: "Brother, it's a pity that you think so highly of my brother, my brother is down and out now, leading a whole body of errands, I really don't know how to repay you." good!"

Xiao Ran was also a little overwhelmed with alcohol, and said with a big tongue: "Don't say such unpleasant things. Why do you repay and not repay, why should you share with each other? But having said that, how is your job as an imperial minister doing? ?”

"What else can I do?" As soon as this trouble was mentioned, Jing Shou suddenly lost his temper, slammed his fist on the table, and said angrily: "Once a person loses power, those bastards are eager to hide from you Yes. The original third class of guards has refused to accept my management, and now there is a shitty guard commander, you think, can I still have me? That fellow Ronglu, he is not very active in training, but his wrists are extremely good. There is a way, the well-known purge troops have transferred and replaced the original old people, and now most of the pro-military forces have been replaced by his own cronies. If you want to say that I am a minister, I am completely There is only one name left!"

"Then, you didn't think about breaking it?" Xiao Ran said deliberately with sideways eyes.

"What do you want? The tiger falls in Pingyang." Speaking of this, Jing Shou suddenly stretched out a finger, and said in a low voice: "This fellow Rong Lu, we are fellow villagers. This time, from a small The Infantry Academy was able to rise to the top, isn't it all promoted by this master? Besides, he also has the errand of the Infantry Commander Yamen. As long as he speaks, he can mobilize more than half of the garrison at any time. Even Prince Gong will let him Three points. Damn, this time he is really a villain!"

"Feng Shui turns in turn, if it's not in order, when will it turn back, what's the rush!"

Xiao Ran smiled lightly, but Jing Shou immediately raised his ears.Of course he heard that there was something in these words, and hurriedly said: "What do you mean by my brother?"

Xiao Ran pondered for a while, and said: "I heard that the army is preparing firearms, isn't it?"

In the pro army, only some shotguns and artillery were originally equipped. The firearms are outdated and limited in number.With the development of new rifles and cannons by the Ministry of Industry, the first thing to do when returning to Luan is to equip the pro-military.However, since the soldiers were used to the front-loading shotguns, many of them would not know how to use this new type of rifle, which uses fixed-loaded paper-wrapped ammunition.The soldiers trembled as soon as they picked up the barrel of their guns, and they couldn't help complaining, and the Qing court was also quite troubled.Jing Shou didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Xiao Ran's gourd, and said strangely: "It is indeed a headache to change equipment. But what does this have to do with me?"

Xiao Ran said: "I've also heard about the accident with the new firearms. But for my brother, this is just an opportunity. In the pro-military system, shotgun soldiers accounted for one-third. If we can collect this part of the force Rong Lu is nothing to be afraid of. I think it is not as good as it is now. Anyway, this is a hot job. My brother can give the court a piece of advice to organize this part of the shotgun soldiers, which is still under the organization of the pro-army. Reorganize a firearms battalion in the army, and then you will personally take over the drills. The original firearms battalion has been dismantled, and I guess the imperial court will approve this proposal."

Jing Shou pondered for a long time, then hesitated and said, "That's true, but isn't it hard for brother to practice new firearms? I don't know anything about this stuff, let alone practice. The last time I hurt people, even Rong Lu After being reprimanded, I am a body of guilt, and if something goes wrong again, don't I want to be finished?"

"You don't have to worry about this." Xiao Ran said confidently, "I will recommend you the best candidate for the practice. If he is here, just look at it!"

The person he was talking about was naturally Cheng Tong.The two discussed in detail, and the next day Jingshou made a decision, suggesting that the shotgun soldiers in the pro-army should be converted into rifle battalions, and asked for orders to practice.He is recognized as an honest person, and Cixi has always been quite disdainful of him, so he is allowed to make troubles.He didn't know that this time, it was under Xiao Ran's instruction. ←

On Xiao Ran's side, he asked Ma Chaokuai to recall Cheng Tong, and he was still reinstated as Qipindian Military Academy. Because of his position and status, he was not noticed by Jing Shou's side.He quickly helped Jing Shou to formulate a detailed training plan. After just a few months, the combat effectiveness of the Rifle Battalion has improved by leaps and bounds.During this period, Xiao Ran also continuously transferred some backbones from Daxing Mountain to the Rifle Battalion, making this team gradually out of Rong Lu's control.Later, when Rong Lu was shocked by this intention, it was beyond his reach.

→Chapter 097 - Queen's Progress←

Leaving aside how Jing Shou trained the rifle battalion, just talking about Xiao Ran's successful training of Qili, the worries about Cixi can finally be put aside for a while.On the surface, he is still very affectionate to this Lan'er. On the one hand, he naturally does not want her to have doubts about him, but on the other hand, he is really reluctant to part with her first-class kung fu in bed.It cannot but be admitted that this young widow's performance in terms of bed arrangement is a must. Not only are there many tricks, but she is also full of wildness. Every time she makes out, it seems as if she wants to eat him even the bones.Seeing her swaying and wanton galloping on his body, that kind of extreme ecstasy always made Xiao Ran unable to control himself.

There is a kind of woman who is born to be a beauty, Xiao Ran finally believed this.If it were the man next to him, I'm afraid he might really be squeezed dry by this little girl.

But Xiao Ran was not afraid of her at all.Damn, what do I do?Prescribe health care products and sell aphrodisiacs!Wouldn't it be a big joke if a woman was made to get down?

Having said that, I dare not take too much western medicine for aphrodisiac. This kind of thing will seriously overdraw the body. In the long run, it will be harmful rather than beneficial.Fortunately, there is Xun Jing's yang-enhancing prescription, which is made of pure Chinese medicine ingredients, and the effect is really good; secondly, I am relatively rich, so I can afford even expensive tonics.So even though he fought to the death and heartily every time, Xiao Ran was still full of energy, but it was Lan Er herself who was made unable to get out of bed by him for several days, and could not even go to court.Lan'er couldn't help wondering about this point: Even if the young man recovers quickly, the fighting power of this young man is too strong, right?

It was another N round of battle tonight.Only when he removed his armor and begged for forgiveness again and again did he give up. →The next morning, I couldn't get up anyway.Xiao Ran himself, as if nothing happened, wandered back to Zhongcui Palace.As soon as he entered the door, he was greeted by Baolu, who hurriedly pulled him aside, and said: "You don't feel ashamed, you must have gone to fool around with that master again! You can just mess around. I will tell Yuting later. Sister and the others, let them take care of you."←

Xiao Ran said disdainfully: "Bah! You little bastard dares to be close, I'll stuff you into the well. Grandma, you have an affair with Xiao Anzi, who wouldn't be ashamed?"

Bao Luyuan just said that ruthlessly, not wanting to bring up this topic for him, so ashamed and angry, the circles of his eyes immediately turned red.Pointing at him with trembling fingers, he was speechless for a long time.Xiao Ran also felt that the joke was too much, so he hurriedly said with a smile: "Don't be angry, dear boy, your lord doesn't care about villains, I'm that villain. You came to me early in the morning, what's the matter?"

To say that Bao Lu is not a good quarrel, but it is a pity that he lost his temper as soon as he met Xiao Ran.After holding back for a long time, he said angrily: "Get out, I'm not looking for you. The master waited for you all night yesterday. He said he had something to discuss with you. He stayed up too late and is still asleep."

Xiao Ran knew that it must be a serious matter for Ci'an to find him, so naturally he didn't dare to delay.Just as he was about to look at the bedroom, Baolu stopped him and said, "Look at your chin. The beard is heavy again. Hurry up and shave it off! I'm not careful. Fortunately, it's morning. If someone looks at you in broad daylight , you haven't finished playing yet!"

Only then did Xiao Ran realize that he really forgot to shave today.Probably because of too much trimming these days, the beard grows surprisingly fast, instead of the original three or four days to shave.Shave every day until now.This is not bad, after all, it is a young body, and the beard is not particularly rough, and it cannot be seen after shaving.If it takes another two years.Scrape out a green chin, that's called fucking.You can't cover your face and pretend to be Naruto Kakashi, right?

While muttering in his heart, he went to his room to shave.This is a careful job, and it must not let people see the flaws.He took out the knife and scraped it carefully, but still felt uneasy, so he carefully modified it in front of the mirror.He was on high alert when he suddenly heard a pleasant voice at the door saying: "Stinky little boy, you still know how to come back! Don't ask An to go, how courageous!"

Xiao Ran's wrist trembled violently, and the sharp razor immediately scratched his chin, blood seeped out.In a panic, he didn't care about crying out for the pain, so he left the razor behind the table, clutched his chin with one hand, and looked back, the curtain had just been raised.A slender figure walked in, it was the Empress Dowager Ci'an!

So far, Ci'an still doesn't know that he is a fake eunuch, and he tried to confess his love to her a few times, but missed all of them by accident.And because of Ci'an's absolute trust in him, he didn't suspect him at all, or in other words, he didn't think about it at all.At this time, I saw that he looked a little flustered, and he covered his chin with his hands, and said strangely: "You are weird all day long, what are you going to do?"

There was no one else in the room, and the maid of honor did not follow.But Xiao Ran still doesn't dare to tell his secret. On the one hand, the battle ahead is tight, and she has been very tired these days, so she can't be distracted from this matter; on the other hand, the coup d'état Yu Bo hasn't completely recovered yet. In this sensitive period, with a sensitive identity, if something unexpected happens, I don't want to involve her in it.

Turning his eyes, he lowered his head and said in a deep voice, "Don't pay attention to me, I'm thinking. Do I look like Rodin's thinker?"

"What Luo Dan, you look like a big carrot." Ci'an walked forward with a smile, and said, "Take your hands away, let me see what the hell you are doing?"

"No, it's nothing!" Xiao Ran hesitated, "Let's talk about the business first. I heard from Baolu that a sister came to me yesterday? Did something happen?"

"What's the matter, I can only come to you when I have something to do?" Ci'an thumped him coquettishly, "There is really something, I'm a little unsure, and I just want to discuss it with you. Da Gege came to the palace and was named a princess. I mentioned it to me a while ago, but I gave it back. I didn't expect that she would lead Da Gege into the palace for several days in a row, and now there are rumors outside It was first reported that the daughter of Prince Gong is going to be a princess. What should we do about this matter?"

Cixi insisted on Feng Yi for nothing else, of course to win him over.Ci'an also knew that she couldn't let Yi get too close, at least in terms of situation, so she found an excuse to reject her request last time.But this Lan'er was so scheming that he resorted to such a trick out of nothing, and secretly made people release such a trick first.

, making things a little more difficult.

However, the matter of Yi couldn't let her succeed so easily, otherwise, if she didn't keep it neatly, she would make more progress.But to refute her claim, it is easy to give the ministers in the court the impression that the queen mother of the two palaces is suspicious of Prince Gong.In this way, if people's hearts are just stable, they will be shaken again!

"This bitch, what a ghost!" Xiao Ran walked back and forth a few steps, pondering for a moment.I have roughly made up my mind.Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly had a thought, and decided to test Ci'an, she hesitated and said, "Sister thinks, what should we do?"

Ci'an Liu Mei frowned slightly, and said: "I think, no matter what Liu Ye does, Lan'er can't easily let Lan Er agree with this matter. Otherwise, she has tasted the sweetness, and she will have to play tricks with us in the future."

"En!" Xiao Ran nodded approvingly, "Then tell me. Feng Dage is a princess or something, and those rumors will be self-defeating. How about this?"

"I'm afraid it won't work." Ci'an Zhen shook his head lightly, and said with some worry: "Now that the topic has come out, if the princess is really sealed, although it is to refute Lan'er quietly, it is easy for the minister We feel that the two palaces are at odds with the sixth master, I'm afraid it will shake people's hearts!"

Xiao Ran was slightly surprised.The current Ci'an is obviously much more mature than before, she is no longer the simple queen of the past, she has already started to have her own opinions and opinions, and she can see through Lan'er's intentions at a glance.It has only been a few months since he took over the government affairs, and he has made such great progress.Even Xiao Ran was surprised.What's more, it's a kind of gratification that my powerful helper has finally grown up.It seems that as long as she can sit firmly in the court in the future, the Empress Dowager Cixi's ambition will never be realized.This period of history in the late Qing Dynasty will unknowingly change the trajectory according to one's own will!

Seeing Xiao Ran nodding his head with a smile, Ci'an also noticed his little trick, pouted his mouth, and said coquettishly: "Bad guy, you deliberately tested me, you already have an idea, don't you?"

"My good sister, you are really making great progress now!" Xiao Ran said with a smile, "Go on and see if we can agree on what we think."

Ci'an pondered for a while, and said: "I think, at this time, I should agree, and I should take the initiative to propose it. Anyway, I have to give this favor, so it's better for me to do it. In addition, after Da Gege enters the palace, I will decide to take her away." Staying in Zhongcui Palace, so that outsiders will feel that my relationship with Liu Ye is closer. Didn’t Lan Er use a trick to make something out of nothing? I’m called embedding flowers, how about it?”

"Tall, really tall!" Xiao Ran gave a thumbs up and sang about Shajia, shaking his head: "This woman is not simple..."

"Go to your land!" Ci'an blushed at his boast, thought for a while and said: "But there is one more thing. Da Gege sealed the princess, Li Fei's side, I'm afraid she will feel uncomfortable. After all, she is the real big princess. Isn't this a blatant run-on? I wanted to talk to her first, but I didn't know how to say this. Little Sanzi, I thought about it , she still listens to your persuasion the most, why don't you talk about it for me, and don't let her have any grudges in her heart because of this. "

There are many precedents for conferring the prince's daughter as a princess, but such an approach is indeed unfair to Concubine Li.Ci'an has a generous temperament, especially after Concubine Li committed suicide by swallowing opium last time, she felt that she was the head of the harem and failed to take good care of her.

"Ah, you are not looking for me to discuss matters, but you want me to do this offending errand!" Xiao Ran curled his lips and said angrily, "No way!"

"Smelly slave, you want to rebel?" Ci'an stretched out a finger that was as tender as a mushroom, poked him lightly on the forehead, and said with a smile, "You really have to go with this matter, and I don't worry about others. Emperor Daxing When I went there, there were many rumors in the palace, causing Concubine Li to find trouble. Now that this happened again, please don't cause any trouble. You slave is born with a clever mouth , It’s not worth your life to lie to a dead person, so, this job is still up to you.”

"What does it mean to lie to the dead without paying for your life? I am such an innocent, pure and kind person, who did I lie to?" Xiao Ran immediately called Qu, and suddenly smiled wickedly, and said in a low voice: "At least...even sister, you and me I haven't been fooled yet, hehe!"

Ci'an's face was flushed with embarrassment, and he punched him with two fists, saying bitterly: "Dead eunuch, stinky eunuch, let you talk nonsense, make you mess up!"

Xiao Ran smiled and said, "It's okay to let me go, but I have to ask for a reward."

"Dare to bargain!... What reward?"

"That's it... My sister promised me with her body that I will do whatever I want." Xiao Ran said shamelessly.

Before the words finished, Ci'an reached out and grabbed his ear.Xiao Ran was on guard for a long time, laughed and jumped to avoid it.Ci'an was not willing to let go, and was chasing after him. At this moment, Baolu sang out of the window: "The emperor is here! Come to pay respects to the mother, the empress dowager!"

Xiao Ran shrugged and said, "Can't you catch it? Haha, what a coincidence that the emperor came here! Why don't you go soon?"

Ci'an stomped his feet and said: "You slave, you are getting more and more messy, look at me and I must deal with you well!" After a pause, he said: "Today I will make an order, and I will make a big deal. Title. Concubine Li, hurry up and persuade her. By the way, the fifth day of next month will be Concubine Li’s birthday, and it’s still in the midst of the funeral. According to the rules, birthday celebrations are not allowed. Otherwise, you Didn't you set up a house outside? Just take her to you secretly, give her a good birthday, and make her happy, which can be regarded as a compensation for her. "
