The ancient trees in the courtyard are towering, cicadas are roaring, and it is a noisy summer day.

Lu Yueting was like an old monk sitting in meditation. The room was spotless, with a table and a chair, giving people a sense of tranquility in simplicity...

The matchmaker was quietly drinking tea. Twenty years passed in a flash, and seeing his old friend again, but this scene was like this, which made people sigh.

"You are a beauty, how can you be a thief?" Lu Yueting sighed deeply and slowly opened his eyes.

The matchmaker was silent for a while and said, "Mr. Lu and I are no longer the same people. We are soldiers and thieves, and we have different positions."

Lu Yueting smiled miserably and said, "I have humiliated myself. In today's world, I think I am a thief. It's true that the country is a marquis."

The matchmaker said, "Mr. Lu knows that I don't mean that."

Lu Yueting continued to say that he really couldn't figure out many things, and wanted to ask the matchmaker many things. He stared at the matchmaker and sighed: "I was enlightened by the marshal and realized the other world. But I really didn't understand. The marshal used troops like a god, and he was even more insightful about the shortcomings of the political affairs of the world. With such talent, why did he turn against the enemy in the face of the battle? I originally wanted to see the first female queen in my heaven, but why..., do you... say that the relationship between children is so important, which makes you unclear right and wrong?"

The matchmaker savored the tea, and after a while, he said lightly: "Mr. Lu dares to say, can the heavenly kingdom you and I establish, be comparable to today's new dynasty?"

Lu Yueting was stunned and then said, "This is just a trick of the Tartars. You can watch it again in a hundred and a thousand years."

The matchmaker sighed, "A hundred years and a thousand years..." She thought of his ideal country that Ye Zhao often described to her, but Ye Zhao often sighed. No matter what political system it is, the world will always be controlled by a few people, but I am afraid that this will be the same in the era of exploring endless space. Strengthening the middle class makes the middle class the majority, and supervising and restraining these political families and economic oligarchs can make society progress smoothly. What is most afraid of is that one class rules another class, and one group plunders another group. That kind of social injustice will exist widely, just like the Qing Dynasty in the past.

After a moment of silence, the matchmaker said, "No one can see it in a hundred and a thousand years, but I think it will be better."

Lu Yueting sneered: "Yes, you will live better. The Tartars pretended to delegate power, but God knows how much wealth he plundered? One hundred million or two hundred million? It's enough for his descendants to squander?"

The matchmaker said: "This is what he deserves. He never used his power to seize it. He also knew that he had participated in many invention patents in the Imperial Academy of Sciences back then. Many times, he was working in vain. Does his husband understand what the trade deficit and surplus are, how much gold, silver, pounds he absorbed from overseas, and how much money was made by foreigners? And my matchmaker said, the influence of all newspapers and magazines on the description of his influence in the scientific community is just the tip of the iceberg. You will never know what he has done.

Lu Yueting was stunned for a moment and knew that matchmaker Xiang Wuxuyan, but it was impossible. If this dog emperor was really a chemist and physicist, as the newspapers said, and he also released the first periodic table of elements in the chemistry world, it would be incredible. Moreover, it seems that the matchmaker's words are far more than that.

The matchmaker said again: "Sir, I certainly don't know that the booklets of Mr. Enlightenment back then were actually his writings. I could go to Guangxi alive and have firearms to deal with the Qing court. He was also generous in donating money. Without him and without a matchmaker, there would be no gentleman."

Lu Yueting was stunned. The news was shocking. He had the experience today and became a politician that attracted the attention of all nations. It was actually the great dictator who had been trying to resist but was unable to resist? From the root, it could even be said that it was the great dictator who created him. It is no wonder that although he had never been able to meet this enemy, his confrontation with him has been struggling step by step, and there was no hope of victory at all. Just like the mosquito's resistance to an elephant, he was so powerless. Even he was gradually tired. He felt that it was a relief when he was arrested in Hong Kong.

Lu Yueting was like a petrified person, so he couldn't speak anymore.

While the matchmaker met Lu Yueting, Ye Zhao was basking in the sun with Harric at a private beach on the Bund.

Not far away, Zhu Sisi and Zhu Qiqi were walking on the golden beach. The water was rising and falling, the blue sea and clear sky were beautiful, and there were few people on the clean beach, so it was very comfortable to step on it.

The Zhu Sisi sisters were both wearing "swimsuits", but in Ye Zhao's opinion, they looked more like tight-fitting five-quarter pants, one-piece tight swimsuit, all the way to the knees, from neck to knees, and covered tightly. Despite this, because Harric was there, the two sisters were covered with cloaks on the outside, and I don't know if they would feel stuffy.

In the 19th century, women's shirt-style swimsuits originating from Europe were replaced by a swimsuit with a belt, knee-length length, and women were wearing pants and stockings under the swimsuit. They wore swimming caps and lace-up slippers similar to ballet shoes on their feet, but the skirts of the new women's swimsuits were very wide and their wet weight could even reach twenty kilograms.

After the 1970s, although the style of swimsuits remained the same, they became easier and easier. A one-piece swimsuit with sleeves and leggings, similar to children's pajamas, gradually appeared. Some governments strictly prohibited wearing "debauchery" clothing through laws. Swimsuits must cover human parts from the neck to the thighs, and some women were fined for not wearing stockings, shoes or long skirts.

But no matter what, swimsuits finally entered the fashion magazines and store catalogs in the 1980s, becoming one of the hot-selling products, and also impacting the changes in women's clothing styles.

Imperial law, business and public beach swimming pools, men and women swim together. Women's swimsuits must cover human body parts from the neck to the knees. They are also the first imperial lawmakers. It seems that they are the best, but in fact they give women the freedom to go into the water to swim. In essence, it is the liberation of old customs.

This is a private beach, and there are not so many taboos, but Harric dared not go into the water to swim in front of the Queen Mother. He covered his whole body tightly, and his eyes didn't dare to look in the direction of the Zhu Sisi sisters walking.

Although Harric came to Shanghai with the matchmaker, he is still very strong in his body. He serves as an advisor to the Advisory Committee of the Royal Military Commission. He is indispensable for military and national affairs.

Harric came to Shanghai for his former beloved general Zuo Baogui. At the joint meeting between the Royal Military Commission and the State Council the day before yesterday, Tang Jingsong, Director of the General Administration of Overseas Immigration Management of the State Council, raised doubts about the military affairs of the three western provinces, and pointed the finger at Zuo Baogui, deputy governor of the Laining Military Region, who believed that he condoned his subordinates to use troops abroad randomly, violated the imperial constitution and military laws, and would have an adverse impact on immigration, and should be suspended for investigation.

Li Hongzhang, who served as prime minister and automatically became the first deputy commander of the Royal Military Commission, had an ambiguous attitude and was unquestionable. The news reached Harichi, who did not attend the meeting. He made an appointment with Li Hongzhang that night, but he always looked down on the prime minister who had never brought soldiers. He spoke with ridicule and the two parted in disagreement.

Harric then rushed to Shanghai and presented his love to the emperor himself.

Ye Zhao had long seen Li Hongzhang a long memorial. In the memorial, Li Hongzhang naturally favored Tang Jingsong, analyzing the shortcomings of the army, and believed that the boldness and arrogance of some generals might cause a series of serious consequences, and the emperor must observe it.

From the words and styles, we can see that after nearly a year of rule, Li Hongzhang has become much more confident. If it were before, he would not dare to participate in military affairs, let alone express his fault.

What Li Hongzhang and Tang Jingsong said had their own reasons, but some generals in the military also had their own pride, and the military had more military philosophy. When there were differences in views on external affairs, conflicts would inevitably arise.

One side is the moderate in the ruling, the other side is the tough military. In fact, sometimes it is hard to say who is right or wrong. The important officials in the temple and the powerful generals in the army have their own plans. How can there be a situation where all the great public are selfless and strive to revive China as their ideal? There is no saint in this world, even if they are traveling through time, they will also make mistakes. They also have their own plans. Those with high positions and power are also people. The tall and complete leaders will only appear in black and white films. How can they make their talents and perform their duties, perform their duties, and be more for the public and less for the private. Now relying on themselves, they will gradually be bound by the law in the future.

"What's the name of the guerrilla who caused the trouble?" Ye Zhao asked Haric with a smile.

Harric frowned and thought for a while, and said, "I only remember that he has a nickname, which seems to be called Braided Shou, so I don't know anything else." If the military officer who was as big as a sesame and mung bean had not caused trouble, how could Harric know about this person?

Ye Zhao was stunned and said, "Isn't this person called Zhang Xun?"

Harric slapped his forehead and said, "Yes, he just called Zhang Xun. He didn't want his master to know him. He heard that he had to pay for his master before three meals a day..." He paused at this point, fearing that the emperor thought he was artificial, but instead caused disaster to him. He paused and said, "Anyway, he must know that his master knew him, and he was afraid that he would be beautiful."

Ye Zhao was so called Zhang Xun that he couldn't help but laugh. He didn't know if it was the handsome braid he knew. However, even though it was because of the different living environments since childhood, his worldview and values ​​were naturally different. Zhang Xun was no longer the Zhang Xun he knew, but some of his personality seemed to be exactly the same as the handsome braid who was famous in history.

"I'll think about this and let's talk about it when I go back to the capital." Ye Zhao waved his hand, and he couldn't see his expression clearly under the shadow of the sun umbrella.

"Yes, that slave will not disturb the master's purity." Harric bowed and said goodbye.

Ye Zhao nodded slightly and said, "Old Ha, I've rushed back to the capital tomorrow, and you can accompany me to hunt in the southern suburbs.

"Harric was dressed neatly, and it was really not convenient to stay here.

After listening to Ye Zhao's words, Harrich was determined. Seeing the two imperial concubines walking along the beach not far away, they were not inconvenient to go to see the ceremony, so he quickly turned around and left.

Tomorrow is the first day, I am so kind to ask for tomorrow's monthly tickets, because I have lost a lot of collections and subscriptions. Now I still subscribe to the brothers who support the military have monthly tickets. I want to vote for the military. I hope I can enter the top ten history this month and show my face to increase my collection and subscription...
