Chapter 27 The second article is good at gaining favor in the palace

Chapter One Do what your master wants Since Li Lianying was assigned to work under Concubine Yigui (Cixi), firstly, she relied on her keenness, and secondly, she relied on her sharp eyes. In addition, Li Lianying was good at figuring out the mind of her master, so she soon made Concubine Yi obey her, and she would never forget her for a moment. Inseparable. The reason why Li Lianying was able to make Cixi obey her words was not accidental.Li Lianying has her own set of theories, which is to follow the master's favor.He not only did this by himself, but also educated his descendants and apprentices to do the same, and taught them the eight-character mantra. If you want to be a man, you must first learn to be a dog.He used this sentence to educate his next generation, and used his own example to illustrate that the reason why he was respected by princes and ministers, civil and military officials, was because of Cixi's background, and Cixi was the master.I am a dog in Cixi's place.Just because I have won the favor of my master, even if I make any mistakes, as long as it does not touch the policies and regulations of the imperial court, I will not be reprimanded.If the wrong thing is beneficial to the master, he will be rewarded.

These can be said to be realized by Li Lianying herself. In order to improve her knowledge, Li Lianying often studies by herself.When he was reading "The Collection of Famous Sages", there were two sentences in it: a horse has the meaning of letting go of the rein, and a dog has the grace of wet grass.It means that people should not be ungrateful. If they are ungrateful, they are even worse than dogs and horses.After Li Lianying read it, he didn't remember anything else, but he remembered that a dog cannot forget its master, and a dog who betrays its master will be cast aside.Therefore, I realized the adage that if you want to be a human, you must first learn to be a dog.Li Lianying also concluded that most dogs that can please their masters will always wag their tails when they see their masters to make them happy, and then they will get food.

Therefore, Li Lianying passed on the golden rule and magic weapon to the next generation if one wants to be a human being, first learn to be a dog. Unfortunately, his descendants are used to domineering under his protection, and no one can listen to his advice. In order not to refute his face, she didn't contradict him face to face. Li Lianying knew that Empress Dowager Cixi liked to play with crickets (crickets), so she made up her mind on crickets. Li Lianying chose dozens of crickets and did an experiment first, and marked which one was stronger, so it always beat Cixi.Although Cixi lost money, she got fun from it, and would always reward Li Lianying with some property.And Li Lianying always dedicates her ever-victorious general to Empress Dowager Cixi without losing the opportunity, which often makes Empress Dowager Cixi happy.

In fact, cricket fighting has been popular in Beijing since the reign of Zhengde in Ming Dynasty.Not only folk fights, but also fights in the palace.The bet depends on the economic strength. Of course, the Empress Dowager Cixi's bet will not be too small, and if she wins, the rewards of her opponents will be very generous. Li Lianying also gained a lot of benefits from it. In addition, Li Lianying often referred to Cixi as Lafayette, which Li Lianying began to call Cixi when she was 50 years old.In the feudal society, the honorable family paid attention to the whole life, the tenth is called the whole life, and the fifth is called the big birthday.Empress Dowager Cixi was exactly 50 years after the curtain was closed for 23 years, so it is called a whole life.

Cixi liked others to praise her all her life, and Li Lianying took advantage of this weakness, coupled with her own set of theories, and soon won Cixi's favor.
