Traveling Doctor: Extra Story of Yunde

Chapter 14: Outline of the Peace Negotiation

After that day, when Liangying came to the house again, Yunde had someone block him from the door.During this period of time, Yunde brought people to Beijing to investigate from time to time, and the city of Beijing gradually settled down.But there is still no news of Lafayette's return to Beijing. I wanted to inquire about it from other officials, but those officials just shook their heads: I don't know.

There was no news of Lafayette's return to Beijing, but Li Zhongtang's illness had already spread throughout the capital.Li Zhongtang is the only one who can preside over the overall situation in Beijing. If Li Zhongtang lets go, there will really be no leader in Beijing.

Yunde sighed in his heart, Li Zhongtang devoted his whole life to the Qing Dynasty, and hoped that his body would recover as soon as possible.

Time rolled to December 22, [-], when the Eight-Power Allied Forces handed over [-] articles of the "Negotiation Outline" to Yikuang and Li Hongzhang. Yunde, who learned the news, punched the table hard.

Yunde trembled with anger.

If he has enough ability, he will definitely drive these foreign devils out!They must be paid in blood!

But what can he do now?No military power in hand, no weapons.The peace once was long gone forever!

Family hatred and country hatred!The family is broken!

Yunde hates himself for being incompetent, now he is hiding in this small prince's mansion like a shrinking tortoise, unable to do anything.

A few days later, on December 27, [-], the Qing government agreed to accept the "Peace Outline"...

"My son! My son!" Eunuch Li found Yunde in a panic.

"Eunuch Li, you are in a panic, what happened?" Yunde said.

Eunuch Li shook his lips and said tremblingly: "The old queen mother, the old queen mother has approved the "Peace Outline"..."

"You, what did you say?!" Yunde's face turned pale, and he grabbed Eunuch Li in disbelief.

Eunuch Li's face was pale, and he said tremblingly: "The Empress Dowager said, 'Measure the material power of China, and unite the country's love'. My son, our Great Qing will... be destroyed!"

"Measure the material resources of China, and unite the country's favor... No... No... This news must be false, it must be false!" Yunde trembled all over, and tears rolled down from his eyes.He let go of Eunuch Li and said to himself, "That's right! Li Zhongtang! And Li Zhongtang! He must know what's going on! I'll go find him!"

Speaking of Yunde, he was about to run out!Huo Chengru grabbed Yunde: "Yunde!"

"Brother Huo, what are you doing! Let me go, I'm going to find Li Zhongtang to ask what's going on!" Yunde trembled all over, tears kept falling from his eyes.

"Yunde, calm down first!" Huo Chengru really wanted to hug Yunde to give him comfort and support, but he couldn't...

"Huo Chengru, let me go! I don't believe it's true! I don't believe it! This must be fake news! How could Lafayette agree to the "Peace Outline"! Impossible!" Yunde struggled to break free from Huo Chengru He ran to Li Hongzhang's house to ask about it.

"It's true." Yan Chou stepped in from the outside, he leaned sideways on the door frame and took out his own cigarette stick to smoke.

"What did you say?" Yunde said.

"It's true. Everyone in Beijing knows about it." Yan Chou smiled, and that smile was extremely hateful in Yunde's eyes.Yunde roared: "Lafayette wouldn't do that! You must be trying to confuse people!"

"No?" Yan Chou seemed to have heard some joke: "She can even leave the imperial city of Beijing and the people at the foot of the imperial city alone, so why not?"

"You lie! You lie!" Yunde shouted excitedly.

"Yunde, calm down!" Huo Chengru grabbed Yunde tightly.

"Your Majesty, do you believe me? Haha." Yan Chou chuckled, and then he said every sentence like a knife cut on Yunde: "Your Majesty, let's open your eyes and take a good look. In whose hands was it destroyed? King Yijing committed suicide, and your resentment and hatred are all on the foreigners. But besides the foreigners, the real culprit has nothing to do with the Qing Dynasty?"

Yun De listened to Yan Chou's words, his face was pale and trembling all over.With trembling lips, he couldn't say anything to refute Yan Chou.

"It's so sad..."

What you want to hold on to tightly, but in the end it is nothing.Yunde could hardly bear such a blow.

"I'm going to find Li Zhongtang, I want to ask him why Lafayette made such a decision!" Yunde was still unwilling, he didn't believe that Lafayette agreed to the "Negotiation Outline" so easily.

"Yunde..." At this moment, in front of his family and country, Huo Chengru didn't know how to comfort Yunde.

"Li Zhongtang braced his body and waited to sign the protocol of the "Negotiation Outline". Even the eldest son, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to ask why. Hmph~ It's useless to go." Yan Chou took a puff of smoke.

"Why...why..." Yunde fell to the ground.

His home, his country.

"I, I can't do anything..." Yunde covered his eyes and cried bitterly...

"Yunde..." Huo Chengru looked at it with sadness in his heart.

"I hate! I really hate..." Tears flowed from Yunde's fingers.

I don't know whether he hates the foreigners or the decadent late Qing Dynasty!

On Liangying Baylor's house.

In the lobby, Liangying picked up the teacup with trembling fingers slightly, his hand was unsteady, the teacup fell on the table, and the tea spilled all over the table.Liangying's complexion was not very good, and Zhuoyu was sitting wiping tears.

Liangying saw that Zhuoyu's eyes were swollen from crying like a rabbit, Liangying put the teacup away, and he put his slightly trembling hands together and clasped tightly.Liangying reluctantly said to Zhuoyu: "Don't cry, Lafayette is a way to slow down the army. You also know the current situation in Beijing, Lafayette is just paralyzing those foreigners. After Lafayette returns to Beijing, these foreigners can still Are you arrogant?"

Zhuoyu wiped his tears: "Liangying, you don't have to comfort me. Although I seldom go out, I am not a fool. The "Outline of Justice and Peace" has spread all over the world. If we sign it, we will lose our rights and humiliate the country!"

Liangying replied: "Gege, you are a woman, you don't need to take care of this state affairs. You just need to live well."

"Liangying, I have the blood of the Qing Dynasty on my body. How can the affairs of the Qing Dynasty have nothing to do with me? This dynasty is our root. I don't know why Lafayette approved the "Outline of Peace Negotiation", but this is The shame of our royal family!" Zhuoyu said with tears.

Liangying felt uncomfortable.

Why didn't he know, why didn't he feel bitter in his heart.The moment he heard the news, he felt as if the sky had fallen.After confirming the news, his eyes darkened and he almost passed out.His anger and resentment could only be buried deeply in his heart in front of Gege.

"Ge Ge doesn't need to think too much, Lafayette didn't care about the Qing Dynasty." Liang Ying said something that even he didn't believe it.

"Liangying, do you know how the outside scolded our Qing imperial family? They scolded us for treason!" Zhuoyu said the most uncomfortable words in his trembling voice.

"Gege, don't listen to what people outside know. You stay at home and don't go out."

He was afraid, he was afraid that the people outside would rush up and bite them like mad dogs.

The imperial family of the Qing Dynasty was reviled by people all over the world, but how could these people understand the pressure they were under from all directions in the center of the whirlpool.When Lafayette opened his mouth to respond to the "Negotiating Outline", the current situation of the Qing Dynasty had already been set.

The heyday of the Qing Dynasty has passed, and Liangying is not an ignorant person.The Qing Dynasty has reached the point where it is dying... He can deceive others but cannot deceive himself.The only thing he can do with his hands is to protect his family.He could do nothing else.

After Liangying and Yunde confirmed that Lafayette had approved the "Negotiating Outline", they knew that the Qing Dynasty was really over...

Prince's Mansion, in Yunde's wing.

Yunde sat on the chair in a daze, his eyes were empty.Ever since the Eight-Power Allied Forces entered Beijing, he has been waiting, waiting for the news of Lafayette's return to Beijing.But he didn't expect to wait for such news——

What is the purpose of the more than 2000 royal family officials who died...

Yunde felt a sharp pain in his heart, so uncomfortable that he was about to faint.

"Yunde, drink some water." Huo Chengru handed Yunde a glass of water, and Yunde said hoarsely, "Thank you Brother Huo."

Seeing Yunde suffer, Huo Chengru also felt very uncomfortable.He is a citizen of the Qing Dynasty, but he is not as hated by his family as Yunde.

"Thank you, brother Huo." Yunde said hoarsely.

"Yunde, don't be sad. This contract has not been signed yet, everything is possible." Huo Chengru comforted weakly.

"Brother Huo doesn't need to talk too much, Yunde wants to be alone." Yunde said.

"...Okay, Yunde will call me if something happens." As he spoke, Huo Chengru gave Yunde a quiet fear.

After Huo Chengru left, Yunde's tears fell again, and the silent tears fell into the cup.Yunde swallowed the tea mixed with his own tears into his stomach.

It took four months to achieve such a result, Yunde supported his head with his hands and laughed at himself: "Yunde, Yunde, what are you doing for..."

Yunde was a little desperate and disheartened.His faith and persistence are crumbling.

Yunde laughed at himself.

Suddenly, a baby crying interrupted Yunde's thoughts.Yunde turned his head to look, and the child on the bed seemed to feel the sadness and despair emanating from Yunde and was frightened.He opened his voice and wept loudly.Somewhat panicked, Yunde went to the bedside and picked up his younger brother: "Oh, good boy, don't cry, don't cry. Brother Wang is here, brother Wang is here."

Yunde hugged Wangdi in his arms and gently shook him to comfort him.

The child slowly stopped crying in Yunde's arms, looked at Yunde with those bright eyes, and then smiled at Yunde.

Yunde was startled, at this moment, Yunde seemed to blame himself for going into a corner.

Yunde looked at Brother Wang and said to him: "Brother Wang, you are the most important person to me in this world..."

No matter how this terrible world changes, the most important thing is the person in front of you...

Huo Chengru, who was guarding outside Yunde's house, left slowly after hearing the voice inside...
