The experience of the little eunuch is just a microcosm of the eunuch ecosystem in the late Qing Dynasty. In fact, since the founding of the Qing Dynasty, it has absorbed the experience and lessons of the Ming Dynasty and has been very strict in controlling eunuchs.

Looking at the past 200 years of the Qing Dynasty, the truly famous eunuchs in history have appeared in the late Qing Dynasty. The chaos in the eunuch circle in the late Qing Dynasty actually proves from the side that this empire is old, so old that even the central heart of the empire has been infected with bad habits. When an empire cannot even restrain the eunuchs around the emperor, you can imagine where the official ecology will be dark in those remote areas that are 100,800 miles away from the capital.

In the late Qing Dynasty, no matter whether you were a first- and second-rank official or a noble prince of the Qing Dynasty, who had never given gifts to the eunuchs? When Li Hongzhang controlled the Beiyang power, he would have to prepare hundreds of thousands of taels of silver for bribery every year when he returned to Beijing to report his duties.

The governors and governors of all provinces have Lijin Bureaus. To put it bluntly, they are the private treasury of the governors. They set up offices in the capital and invest in the capital's money every year, which is more than tens of millions of dollars.

Does the court want to care? To be honest, Cixi and others really don’t want to care about this kind of thing. The late Qing Dynasty official culture had long been perverted. Those big figures in the officialdom were greedy and used their greedy subordinates. They believed that only greedy people were easy to control, and only corruption people were those who could be on the same mind as the Qing Dynasty.

If you are not greedy for money and make yourself like a saint every day, what do you want to do? Are you ready to rebel by gaining reputation? Do you want to learn from Wang Mang or Zhao Kuangyin?

When a dynasty has come to a time when he dares not use a clean official, they have actually put a noose around their necks. Death is just a matter of time.

In fact, Xiao Letian privately gave a very insightful summary of the Qing Dynasty officialdom. "The so-called rampant behavior is actually that waste wants to lead more waste with greed! Because many wastes are in corpses and dominate the position, he actually knows his own abilities very well. He doesn't know how to do big things or how to manage one party, and then he also wants to make money to take over power..."

"What should I do with this **? Then openly use villains. Such officials actually hope that their subordinates will be greedy from the bottom of their hearts, so that they can only show that they are in the same group..."

In the late Qing Dynasty, Cixi was a typical representative of this kind of thought. The so-called good at balancing the situation in the old lady was actually just good at using corrupt officials. She should be careful and not even use those who are truly capable.

An old Manchu lady who doesn't understand natural science, even knows what the earth looks like, and even doesn't understand the international situation and how to industrialize it, even if she wants to govern the Qing Dynasty well, it's impossible, because her strength is there.

Yehenara knew her level very well. She knew that she could not save the Qing Dynasty, but she would not let power to those capable people. What should I do? Then use corrupt officials and waste, and make a fortune for two days. As long as I close my eyes, the Qing Dynasty is still hers. Who cares about the matter after death?

However, everything has exceptions. Now that his son is in danger, he is blocked by the damn eunuch and almost sent to him. If he can tolerate such a thing, he will not be the famous Queen Mother of the Cialis.

Sitting in the East Warehouse, Cixi could not hear the eunuch screams outside, and she would not care about the life or death of a slave. At this moment, her hands were trembling slightly, and she couldn't even hold back the secret electricity.

"Damn it! Damn it! The little beast who caused trouble, are you going to kill your mother? How can you mess with Xiao Letian? The Qing Dynasty is so difficult that you dare to get involved in this muddy water?"

"What kind of ** soup Xiao Letian gave you? How dare you join the war? Don't forget your identity. You are the emperor of the Qing Dynasty. Your every move represents the entire country..."

Cixi was scolding in her heart. She was really frightened to negotiate with foreigners. On the one hand, she really didn't understand, but on the other hand, she was also afraid. The war with foreigners in recent years has scared Cixi a lot, and she was more afraid of foreign countries than anyone else.

After a while, the two princes and old men, plus several military ministers on duty rushed over. Among them, Yi happened to encounter the body of the little eunuch dragged out, and was shocked. He knew that the Queen Mother must be in a bad mood today and something must have happened.

The Donghun Pavilion was silent, the glass windows had been put down, the wind and sand outside were getting louder and louder, and the windows were slamming, and all the faces in the room were as dark as the newest secret electricity. I was stunned.

"Let's discuss it! Why are you mute? Don't you talk a lot? Now you are so embarrassed..." Cixi's cold voice sounded in the East Nuan Pavilion, trembling with shock.

Everyone, look at me, I see that none of you speaks. Finally, under the reminder of the old man, the military discipline minister on duty, Li Hongzao, bowed and whispered, "Empress Dowager, this is a little lost in the mood for a while, please don't blame the Queen Mother! But I always feel that Shen Baozhen's secret telegram is really bizarre..."

"The first question is, why did the Russian fleet go to the mouth of the Minjiang River? Why do they have to take a long way to go around dangerous waters? Why don't they choose the middle of the strait with a deep and flat water?"

"Second, the secret telegram said that Zhiyuan had hung the Ming golden dragon flag. Because of this flag, the students of the Naval Academy decided that His Majesty was on the ship. Is this a bit arbitrary? Could it be Xiao Letian's mysterious behavior?"

"Third, what's going on with the new imperial army? Of course I know that His Majesty has recruited 300 guards to train in Ryukyu, but the secret telegram says that more than 2,500 new imperial army suddenly appeared on Yanshan and Gujiao Mountain! Where did this army come from..."

"Can the Ministry of War have approval documents? Can the Ministry of Revenue have funds? We don't know who the troops are under the control of this army! I now doubt whether there is this army..."

Speaking of this, Li Hongzao sighed, "After all, Fujian is too far away from us, we cannot just listen to Shen Baozhen's one-sided words. Now the Russians have not reacted at all. We must calm down and we must understand the truth first!"

Li Hongzao's analysis was indeed in line with the rules. Everyone present nodded and praised him for his compassion for his conspiracy. Cixi was also a little moved by these remarks. Perhaps the situation was not as severe as expected!

But at this moment, a burst of rapid footsteps came from outside the Yangxin Palace, and then Ci'an's voice crashed into the two doors.

"No need to confirm it again, the Ai family has confirmed it! Shen Baozhen's secret telegram is not wrong at all. There is indeed a chaos in Fujian, and it is a big mess with the sky and the earth... "

"I really don't know how you became officials. Now that the Imperial Telegram is so convenient, why don't you ask Marshal Zeng from Jiangnan? After all, it's closer to Fujian. They must have more information than us!"
