I am rich in martial arts, but choose culture to win

Chapter 390

of course there are exceptions.

If a foreign minister Yuan Fan sent a gift with extra care, it might be hand-picked by the Empress Dowager and presented on the spot.

The so-called hard work, either happened to be sent to the heart of the Queen Mother, or it was extraordinarily precious.

The former is difficult, the latter hurts, neither is easy.

But this time, Jin Qingzhi met a nobleman by chance. With the support of Mr. Yang, a wealthy businessman in Shanghai, he believed that the birthday gift he presented would be favored by the Queen Mother.

Of course, Jin Qingzhi also reciprocated, entertaining Mr. Yang and his servants with the most authentic delicacies in old Beijing.

Moreover, at the request of Mr. Yang, he helped them buy a large piece of land on Xiangshan Mountain and donated a house as a gift.

Originally, Mr. Yang wanted to buy land on Meishan.

It's a pity that Meishan has long been a royal garden, and no amount of money can buy it.

I had to settle for the next best thing and buy Xiangshan.

To be honest, Jin Qingzhi couldn't see anything good about that dilapidated place in Xiangshan other than red leaves. Anyway, he didn't pay for it himself, so he just let it go.

In addition, Jin Qingzhi also took advantage of his position to take Mr. Yang and his servants to the venue for a few laps to get acquainted with the environment.

Mr. Yang and the others looked very carefully, and even recorded the coordinates and measured the dimensions.

Jin Qingzhi understood this very well.

After all, he is a farmer from Shanghai, so if you don't take a good look at it, you may never have the chance to see the imperial treasures in your life.

But although he is a farmer, Mr. Yang is really a farmer with connections, financial resources, and loyalty to state affairs.

The birthday gift he prepared for the Queen Mother, Jin Qingzhi felt that it was not an exaggeration to say that it was comparable to American gifts.

But there are too many people giving gifts, it is useless to be impatient.

Jin Qingzhi waited for a long time, but only waited for the part of the vassal state to present the gift.

The first vassal state to offer gifts was naturally North Korea.

No matter how much Internet users of later generations look down on the sticks of the North and the South, there is no doubt that a unified North Korea is the first vassal of China.

Unless Japan joins in, it is absolutely impossible to shake the status of the Koreans by relying on those rotten fish and rotten shrimps in Southeast Asia and South Asia.

The North Korean envoys wore court clothes designated by the Qing Dynasty.

The king of Joseon is the county king of the Qing Dynasty in the etiquette system, but he enjoys the treatment of a prince and is allowed to retain the clothes of the Ming Dynasty.

But it is naturally not suitable for them to wear Daming's clothes to show off in such a link as the birthday banquet.

What's more, the Daqing Qingzheng has ordered the king of Joseon and the whole territory of North Korea to shave their hair and change clothes, and the rectification will be in place before the end of the year.

Therefore, the Puppet Ministry of Rites prepared special court clothes for them, which was also a mandarin jacket.

Jin Qingzhi was a little bored.

According to the rules of previous years, these North Koreans were nothing more than offering ginseng and mink fur as tribute, nothing good.

But speaking of...

Jin Qingzhi frowned. Why do these North Korean envoys look so thickly dressed?

The weather in Beijing is getting colder now, but it's not the end of winter, right?

And why are they shaking?

Not only the hands were shaking, but the legs were shaking, and there was a lot of sweat on the forehead, which was really weird.

Opium, alcohol, women, and tunnels occupied 99% of Jin Qingzhi's brain, and suddenly recalled a dusty memory.

That was half a year ago, the third day when I was caught like a stick by a strong man...

Re-establish the sticky pole place, although there are a bunch of trash inside, there is still a cutscene that should go through.

From Zeng Guofan, the Ministry of Punishment asked for a few Lao Yebu accepts as instructors.

After all, at present, the Manchu Qing can find the personnel who are closest to espionage work, that is, those in the army who are not accepted at night.

So Jin Qingzhi was smoking a big cigarette, while watching Lao Qiu Ba's performance all afternoon like a monkey.

They will clap their hands and applaud when they see the highlights, and they are only short of rewarding a few coins.

Jin Qingzhi vaguely remembered that those old Qiu Ba said at that time, how to judge the enemy's secret operations and dead soldiers...

like……

seem……

"Your Majesty is in danger! Your Majesty is in danger!"

Jin Qingzhi jumped up suddenly, roaring and making a gesture of escort, while shielding and retreating towards the exit.

In fact, it wasn't just Jin Qingzhi who discovered the abnormality at this time.

For obvious reasons, the Imperial Guards of the Pseudo-Qing Dynasty still retain a certain level of combat power and training.

They also discovered the problems of these North Koreans, and they swarmed over them while shouting loudly.

Seeing that the plan to assassinate Tongzhi had failed, several North Korean envoys looked at each other and took off their mandarin jackets, revealing the bright clothes inside and the explosives tied around their waists.

"Expel the Tartars and restore China!"

"Long live Daming!"

While shouting, they rushed towards the imperial guards and pulled the fuse.

The scene was once quite tragic.

But that's where the tragedy ends.

After the North Koreans pulled the fuse, all the explosives of the others went silent, except for one who had a "pop" of explosives around his waist.

Allahu Akbar didn’t even have the consciousness to buy Ming Dynasty explosives. He dared to buy gunpowder privately from the Eight Banners masters in the Beijing camp in the hundred capitals of the Qing Dynasty. Where are these stupid North Koreans...

Losing the bonus of explosives, they immediately lost their courage in the face of hand-to-hand combat, lying on the ground trembling, allowing the imperial guards to beat and kick them, and then sent them to death row.

The reason why they were not killed on the spot was naturally because these North Koreans were able to bring gunpowder and bright clothes into the venue, they must have bribed the inner ghost, and must be strictly investigated.

After the farce of this false alarm, the dedication ceremony continued.

However, as the first person to discover the abnormality, Jin Qingzhi attracted Cixi's attention.

Cixi was very satisfied when she knew that he was the newly recruited Lanling bodyguard at the sticky pole.

Heaven never dies, I am Qing!

First there was Lord Sotnasso who was unparalleled in bravery, who survived on a deserted island and ate raw scallops for three months, and now there is a loyal and brave man who sees through Jing Ke Zhuanzhu with a sharp eye, why should I worry about it!

Aixinjueluo Qingzhi was rewarded with a yellow mandarin coat for his meritorious service in escorting the driver, and he was allowed to replace the Koreans and present treasures to the Queen Mother.

Of course, Cixi really loves talents this time, not money.

After all, he had to go down to find a job at the sticky pole, so how much money could Qing Zhi have to buy a birthday present?

Cixi had already decided that no matter what he offered, even if it was just some native fruits, she would give a few words of praise.

however……

"Duo Luo Zheng Baylor and his son present—"

"A pair of seven-inch five-point night pearls! After a long night of fire, a photo can make the crane look young, and a hug can teach you to prolong your life!"

"Hebrew and Roman orthodox lead-tin liqueur jugs and ten sets of aluminum cup lugs, Roman craftsmanship, far surpassing gold, the best in Taixi!"

"Twenty boxes of Citi DDT anti-mosquito repellent perfume, a century-old heritage, exclusive secret recipe, Citi technology, bid farewell to mosquitoes, snakes and ants forever!"

Li Lianying's eyes lit up, and she recited aloud in a slightly trembling voice.

Chapter 391 Zhu Fugui's Birthday Gift

Fifteen or six middle-ranking warriors carried the red cloth-covered red cloth and carried it up, humming and humming.

Another beloved little eunuch of Cixi, An Dehai, stepped forward and used a long pole to pick apart the red cloth one by one, revealing the true face of the treasures underneath.

I saw that the first treasure was two Hunyuan night pearls as big as a bucket.

According to Jin Qingzhi's introduction, An Dehai let the sunlight shine on the two beads first, and then covered the light source with his jacket.

I saw that in the shadows, these two luminous pearls faintly emitted breathtaking fluorescence, which lasted for a long time.

Li Lianying stared at the side with straight eyes, and said to Cixi, who was also stunned: "The empress dowager, this bead is so beautiful in the daytime, if it is night, it will not take off!"

Think about Yehenara Xingzhen who entered the palace to serve the late emperor at the age of 16, and now she has become the lord of the six palaces, controlling the court with a curtain, whether it is Haidongzhu, Burmese emerald, or all kinds of gemstones from Thailand and West, what treasures are there in the world? She hasn't seen it?

Ye Mingzhu, Xingzhen had also seen it before.

But she had never seen such a huge, round and plump, exaggerated Ye Mingzhu.

Historically, apart from emeralds, Empress Dowager Cixi liked the night pearl the most.

According to Marshal Sun Dianying, a senior archaeologist and professional body mortician: "She (Cixi) had a night pearl in her mouth. It was separated into two pieces, and it was a round ball when closed. There is a green cold light, and the hair can be seen within a hundred steps at night. It is said that this treasure can prevent the corpse from melting. No wonder that after Cixi's coffin was opened, Lafayette seemed to be sleeping. I can't get it right. I entrusted Yunong to present the Ye Mingzhu to Madam Jiang (Song Meiling) on ​​my behalf."

In addition, according to the book "The Theft of Cixi's Mausoleum": "The No. 80 Ye Mingzhu weighs four taels and seven cents, and is worth [-] million taels." "

What is Cixi's luminous pearl, the world does not know.

Some say it is fluorite, some say it is diamond, and so on.

If you don't see it, it's hard to know the root.

There are too many far-fetched theories.

But no matter what, now that Xingzhen has seen Zhu Fugui's big baby, she has already thrown away the mere four, two, two and seven cents, which can be stuffed into her mouth.

Zhu Fugui's two balls are only 7 inches 5 in diameter, so huge that they definitely cannot be stuffed into his mouth.

Just because you can't put it in your mouth doesn't mean you can't hug it.

How can such treasures make people feel unmoved?

If it weren't for the fact that it is still in its prime, Xingzhen would have wanted to take this treasure into the coffin.

However, she didn't know if she could bring the pair of Ye Mingzhu into the coffin, but it was extremely possible that the pair of Ye Mingzhu would be sent away by her.

If Xingzhen Shouli had a handheld X-ray fluorescence spectrometer at this time, it would be able to detect that the main component of these two beads was nothing but marble.

But the strontium content reached 13.28%.

The rough stone from which these two beads were produced was discovered in the Xinlu mining area.

At the beginning, it was presented as a treasure by the miners, and finally it was given to Zhu Fugui.

When he saw this thing, Zhu Fugui almost fell down without performing a single nuclear tactic.

As a young man who often visits the shock department of UC, Zhu Fugui has certainly seen something like [Shock!A Dandong man picked up a strange stone suspected to be a luminous pearl, the truth makes people feel chills down the spine! ] and other push articles.

But there is one thing to say, these news are not headline party, but have a certain value of popular science.

At least Zhu Fugui immediately asked someone to find a lead box to put the rough stone in, and then sent it to the Guozijian Institute of Geology for analysis and testing.

The end result really does send chills down the spine.

Speaking of chills in the back, Zhu Fugui thought of Miss Xingzhen.

Zhu Fugui heard that trees were not allowed to be planted in the Forbidden City, and there was no place to enjoy the shade in summer.

For the sake of the little lady's physical and mental health, Zhu Fugui decided to process this treasure and give it to her.

Even the lead box was not wasted, and the most expensive Roman wine jug was built together, which made the Jingluo weep.

So mortal...

On this venue, there really is a senior Jing Luo.

That is A Liguo, Minister Plenipotentiary of the British Empire and General Superintendent of Commerce in China.

Although treasures like Ye Mingzhu are precious, they won't make Ah Liguo lose his composure.

But the sudden appearance of the Roman wine vessel aroused the great interest of Ali Guo.

The [-]th century was an era of great discoveries of cultural relics around the world. Whether in Egypt or Dunhuang, countless Western archaeologists or cultural relic thieves are tirelessly searching for ancient and glorious treasures.

As the ambassador to China, A Liguo naturally has a deep connection with such cultural relic thieves, and he himself is actually one of them.

However, compared with the cultural relics from the East, Aliguo is more proficient and interested in the cultural relics of ancient Greece and Rome.
