Lyle and the Dynasty's Edge Chapter 30

It’s early spring in the south of the Yangtze River, and the banks of the Huangpu River in March are already green and green. Adding to the extra special scenery, a foreign mail ship flying the dragon flag of the Qing Dynasty and carrying the banner of the first-class imperial envoy was sailing out of Wusongkou through the waves, and several long voyage whistles sounded.

The coronation ceremony of Nicholas II was grand and lively. Lyle Li attended all the large and small meetings, banquets and banquets, just like the envoys from various countries who came to congratulate him. The difference was that the envoys from various countries left quickly, but he stayed. On the surface, he was resting for a few days before going to Europe, but secretly, a military alliance, the Sino-Russian Mutual Assistance Treaty, was born at the negotiation table. It was April 22, the 22nd year of the reign of Emperor Gideon (June 3, 1896).

Although the text of the secret agreement contains Lyle Li's signature and seal, it still needs the formal approval of the two governments to exchange the text. So Lyle Li quickly broke up with the secret agreement, and he went to Germany with his entourage. The secret text lay in a sealed box and was carried into Beijing by the deputy envoy.

Gideon, who had been lying on the dragon desk all day reviewing memorials, then realized that Lyle Li had done such a thing. Immediately, his whole body trembled, and he yelled and yelled: "Such an important matter has been hidden from me! Am I a co-actor standing on the stage, or am I the beard hanging on the singer's mouth? I, the emperor, have misbehaved!" He helped review the memorial. Concub!ne Zhen hurriedly stopped her: "Your Majesty, you can't say such angry words. 

You must know that there are people who are eager for you to become the emperor. Is there any reason for the country to abdicate? Your Majesty, you'd better go to the Summer Palace to pay your respects." Gideon's whole body was filled with tears. She trembled for a while, but she was not angry but frightened: "Bless me, what can I say?" Concub!ne Zhen's focus is here: "She has entered the Summer Palace, and she still clings to power. Is she listening to politics behind the curtain or lecturing behind the curtain?" "Zheng, let's see how she can explain herself." Gideon was still trembling: "Can you say this?" Concub!ne Zhen came up with another idea: "This is indeed difficult to say, Your Majesty, then you can bring Master Weng with you." How can such a big thing be hidden from the emperor? Who doesn't have the emperor in her eyes? She doesn't have the emperor in her eyes. Just thinking that her clouds can cover the sun. "Gideon said, "filial piety comes first, hurry up." said."
