How can we ensure that the big brother is not overheaded? Is this a matter of easy contentment? Mianyu and Zeng Guofan were both a little puzzled, the two glanced at each other, and Mianyu said, "You really plan to give advice?" ”

Su Shun said angrily: "Now that the emperor's condition seems to be improving, who dares to rashly mention this topic?" Even if you can guide, you must always be able to take out some dry goods in your stomach, right? Hurry up and ask, there is a proper way to mention this matter, otherwise I don't have the courage to do this. ”

After a pause, he continued: "Moreover, I think it is most appropriate for King Gong to open his mouth in this matter, King Gong will return to Beijing to meet him, and he must greet ........" ”

"No." Mianyu said without thinking: "It is a fluke that King Gong can return to Beijing this time, and if you mention this matter again, there may be changes again, your holy family is the most prosperous, and this auxiliary minister will be indispensable to you, and it is most appropriate for you to speak." ”

What is the most proud, it is better to say that I am the most courageous, Su Shun scolded a sentence, but, thinking about it, Yi Xun may not dare to open this mouth, and after a while, he said softly: "What insight can a woman have, is Yi Guocheng overestimating that woman?" ”

"What can make Yi Guocheng pay so much attention will not be Yi and his generation." Mianyu said slowly: "There have long been rumors in the palace that the Nala clan is smart and smart, courageous and knowledgeable, and even assertive, so they must not be taken lightly. ”

Zeng Guofan hesitated for a moment before saying: "For Yuan Qi, the more chaotic the court situation is, the better, what is the purpose of King Zhennan doing this?" ”

"The chaos in the DPRK will inevitably affect the implementation of the new policy." Mianyu said slowly: "Yi Guocheng is strongly advocating the implementation of the new policy by the imperial court, and furthermore, once the situation is chaotic, many things will get out of control, and now a large-scale civil war is breaking out in the United States, Yuan Qi is busy making money, and he doesn't want an unstable situation in the country at this time." ”

After a pause, he continued: "If there is something unspeakable, the court also needs stability, otherwise this king will not be so concerned about this matter." ”

Su Shun pondered for a while before he said, "It's not too early, it's important to get down to business." Saying that, he looked at Zeng Guofan and said: "It is very likely that King Gong will arrive in Jingshi early tomorrow morning, and Disheng will go to greet him, and by the way, I will try to meet him together." ”

Shanghai, Zhennan Wangfu, Changle Book House.

Cao Gensheng walked into the room quickly, handed over a telegram, and said, "Big shopkeeper, the secret telegram from Jingshi." ”

took the telegram and glanced at it, Yi Zhi couldn't help but smile, how can I properly ensure that the new monarch will not be set aside? In fact, Xianfeng has already given the answer, the edict 'seal' system, however, this system is flawed, and Cixi took advantage of the loophole, in fact, the reason why Cixi was able to listen to the government was thanks to the 'seal' system that Xianfeng drummed up.

In order to ensure that the imperial power would not be left in the system, Xianfeng ruled out the possibility of a group of auxiliary ministers holding the Son of Heaven hostage, and racked his brains to formulate a power balance system - the seal system.

When he was dying, he handed over the two private seals "Imperial Reward" and "Tongdaotang" that he usually loved very much to the Empress Niu Hulu and his son Zaichun respectively, and stipulated that all the emperor's edicts must be stamped with the "Imperial Reward" and "Tongdaotang" Chapter Imperial Reward" seals at the beginning, that is, the so-called "seal"; At the end of the edict, it must be stamped with the seal of the "Tongdaotang", which is the so-called "seal".

All edicts, those with these two seals, are the edicts approved by the emperor, otherwise they have no effect. This move not only effectively prevents some people with ulterior motives from adding personal intentions to the front or back of the edict, but also ensures that the little emperor will not be set aside, after all, the two seals are in the hands of the queen mother and the little emperor.

Cixi happened to take advantage of this loophole, on the grounds of the emperor's young age, she took charge of the "Tongdaotang" seal on behalf of the emperor's biological mother, so as to interfere in politics, and then, the Empress Dowager Ci'an died unclear, Cixi controlled the two seals and monopolized power.

Although this seal system formulated to protect the imperial power has too many drawbacks, it is undoubtedly the most suitable for Xianfeng's heart.

Although it has entered autumn, but the dawn is still early, not yet six o'clock, the sky has already brightened, Su Shun because he was worried about Xianfeng's condition, rushed into the palace early in the morning, to the heart of the door outside the duty room, met the night guard of Yifang.

"Su Liu is here." The expression on Yifang's face was a little relaxed.

"The Emperor's ——?" Su Shun said with concern.

"The condition should be stabilized." Yi Fang said: "I woke up as soon as the day was bright, shouted that I was hungry, passed the breakfast, and disliked the japonica rice porridge was bland and tasteless, and then the imperial doctor suggested that I replace it with duck and japonica rice porridge, and I entered two small bowls, and there were four small steamed buns, both the complexion and the spirit have improved significantly. ”

Hearing this, Su Shun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and said: "The emperor is the true dragon son of heaven, and he has the blessing of the gods and Buddhas." ”

While the two were talking, a eunuch hurriedly trotted over, came to the front, bowed down and said, "Lord Su came just in time, and the emperor called in." ”

As soon as he heard Xianfeng's call, Su Shun hurriedly sorted out the crown and hat court clothes, nodded at Yifang, and then strode into the heart cultivation gate, but he was wondering in his heart, what did Xianfeng announce him in the morning? Could it be that he cares about government affairs? Besides, Yixun hasn't entered the palace yet, should he try to guide the conversation when he is alone?

Then he thought again, if Xianfeng's condition improves, every day is like a day, will he settle accounts with him after the autumn? In just a short period of time, countless thoughts swirled through his mind.

The light of the dormitory in the apse was a little dim, and Su Shun knelt down and saluted when he entered the door, "Slave Su Shun respectfully invites Saint Ann." Standing up, he saw Xianfeng half lying on the couch, and hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down in front of the couch.

"All down." Xianfeng's voice still sounded extremely weak, and all the imperial doctors, eunuchs, and palace maids who were waiting for him retreated before he continued: "Come closer." ”

Su Shun hurriedly knelt in front of the couch with a few steps on his knees, Xianfeng turned to look at him sideways, and said, "What do the imperial doctors say?" ”

As soon as he heard this, Su Shun hurriedly said: "Back to the emperor, the pulse case, the prescription and the military machine are all preserved, and the emperor only needs to meditate and cultivate, and he will soon be able to recover ........" ”

"I am the king of a country, not an ordinary person........" Xianfeng said and sighed lightly, although he didn't know the medical theory, but he still knew a little about his physical condition, and he vaguely felt that he was afraid that it was a little suspenseful this time, so he called Su Shun to come in and interrogate, he knew very well that no one would tell him the truth if he asked others.

Su Shun naturally knew what he meant, but he still didn't dare to tell the truth, for fear that Xianfeng wouldn't be able to stand it, so he kowtowed heavily and said: "Your Majesty, although tuberculosis is a terminal disease, it is not an emergency. ”

As the king of a country, can I not waste my mind? Xianfeng secretly smiled bitterly in his heart, knowing that he couldn't tell the truth, so he simply changed the topic, "You have been in the Nanyang Navy for a long time, and you are familiar with Yi Zhi, what do you think of it?" ”

What does that mean? Su Shun's heart became vigilant and groaned slightly, and he said: "Back to the emperor, Yi Zhixin imitates the West everywhere, opens a bank, builds factories and railways, and promotes Western thoughts, which can be said to have advantages and disadvantages for the imperial court, and the imperial court must not only be encircled, but also vigorously guarded against. ”

Xianfeng continued: "If Yuan Qi raises troops to make trouble, how should he deal with it? ”

After a slight groan, Su Shuncai said: "If there is a disparity in strength, the minions think that they should retreat to the northeast." ”

"I agreed to the ban in the Northeast, and I also had this idea." Xianfeng's voice was very soft, and he spoke slowly, and he seemed to be a little struggling, "The times are different, the sharpness of firearms is no longer something that can be compared with cavalry and archery, and now although there are millions of people in Manchuria, it is not as good as hundreds of thousands of horses back then." ”

After a pause, he continued: "The battle of Jinjing showed the advantages of firearms, but in terms of firearms and ammunition, the imperial court has always been under the control of Yuanqi, even if there are more than 100,000 new troops, it is in vain. If Yuanqi is in turmoil, it is comparable to the likes of non-bandits and bandits, and it is bound to advance by sea and land, withdraw, withdraw to the northeast and then negotiate peace, and have a chance to make a comeback. ”

"Servants respectfully honor the oracle." Su Shun's heart was relieved, and he finally guessed the master's thoughts, and he was really sweating.

After saying this, Xianfeng seemed to be a little tired, and after a pause, he sighed and said: "The most reassuring thing for me is the eldest brother, he is only ...... six years old, and the ancestor and the holy ancestor were all enthroned at a young age, but they have a good queen mother........ ”

Hearing this, Su Shun's heart jumped, there was no need for him to guide him at all, Xianfeng himself mentioned this, this is obviously a rare opportunity, but as soon as these words came out, he couldn't take it back, and now Xianfeng is obviously very satisfied with him, is there any need to take this risk?

Missed this opportunity, next time I don't know when I will have a chance, and for Yi Guifei, Su Shun does not have a good impression of it, this woman is a critic, waiting for an opportunity to interfere in politics, and even rumored to have a false transmission of the holy decree, it is strange that he can have a good impression, the opportunity to see is rare, he is heartbroken, and immediately followed the words and said: "Your Majesty, Yi Guifei is clever and fickle, and her knowledge is extraordinary........" ”

"Don't talk about her." Xianfeng seemed to be very dissatisfied with Concubine Yi, "How can she be filial to Empress Wen." ”

No more follow-up? Su Shun was anxious, Xianfeng seemed to be very reluctant to talk about the Nala clan, but his dissatisfaction with the Nala clan was merely expressed, which made him a little bolder, "Your Majesty, the slave feels that a good system is more important than a good queen mother...... ”

Hearing this, Xianfeng was a little surprised, and said, "What system? But it doesn't hurt to say that. ”

Su Shun said slowly: "Your Majesty, the servants secretly thought that at the beginning of the Holy Ancestor's accession to the throne, the autocratic power of the auxiliary ministers was due to the lack of a meticulous system, if all the edicts must be sealed to take effect, and the seal is in the hands of the Queen Mother, then even if the emperor is young, he will definitely not be controlled by the auxiliary ministers, but it is ........" ”

The seal system was originally figured out by Xianfeng, so when he heard this, Xianfeng was very surprised, and hurriedly said: "But what? Don't worry. ”

Su Shun took off the crown, put it on the ground, and gently kowtowed: "Your Majesty, although the seal system is good, it also needs a virtuous queen, if the queen mother is too powerful, it may lead to the emperor being unable to govern in adulthood, and it is more likely that the situation of Si Chen will ........" ”

These words simply went to Xianfeng's heart, and seeing that he was still unfinished, he said: "There is no need to hide it, just say it, if Zaichun ascends the throne, how should this system be perfected, boldly say, I forgive you for your innocence." ”

Seeing Xianfeng's attitude, Su Shun naturally knew that the seal system proposed by Yi Zhishu was in line with Xianfeng's intentions, and he immediately said boldly: "The queen has both ability and political integrity, loyalty and benevolence, and Concubine Yi is the biological mother of the eldest brother, and she will also be respected as the ......queen mother, although there is a ....... of concubines." ”

Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Xianfeng already understood what he wanted to say, Yi Guifei is Zaichun's biological mother, Zaichun ascended the throne, Yi Guifei's mother is a son, and she will inevitably be respected as the queen mother, the most critical seal of the seal system is in the hands of the queen mother, the queen mother of the two palaces, Yi Guifei is a power-hungry person, once there is any accident, Yi Guifei holds the seal, it is possible that she will not return to the government of Zaichun, and there may be a situation of Ji Sichen.

After a slight sigh, he said: "Wouldn't it be more appropriate to give two seals, one for the Queen Mother and one for Zaichun?" ”

Hearing this, Su Shun said without thinking: "The eldest brother is only six years old, and he can neither properly keep the seal nor use the seal properly, and this seal will eventually belong to his biological mother. What's even more worrying is that it may also trigger a struggle for power between the two houses. ”

Hearing this, Xianfeng didn't say anything for a long time, he still knew what his woman's temperament was, and the queen Niu Hulu didn't need to worry, but it was difficult to say about Yi Guifei Nala's family, as early as when he asked the Nala clan to approve the chapter, he noticed that the Nala clan was not only clever and fickle, but also had a desire for power far beyond ordinary women.

Therefore, he not only consciously alienated her, but also took precautions against her. The concubine interfered in politics, which violated the ancestral system of the Qing Dynasty, originally for the sake of Zaichun's feelings, he could still try to tolerate it, but if the existence of the Nala clan threatens the stability of the court and whether Zaichun can successfully govern himself, it is no wonder that he is nothing more important than the Jiangshan Sheji of the Qing Dynasty.

The seal system, this is indeed a method he has been thinking about during this period of time to protect the imperial power and maintain the stability of the Qing Dynasty, he really didn't expect that Su Shun could actually put himself in his shoes and figure out this method, and it was more detailed than he considered, it seems that this person is indeed loyal.

According to his original plan, he planned to give two seals, one each for the Empress Niu Hulu and Jaechun, but now it seems that it is better to give only one seal.

Seeing Xianfeng was silent, Su Shun glanced at him cautiously, today's words are not what he should say as a courtier, even if Xianfeng said that he is not guilty, but this matter is too big, he has no bottom in his heart, as for Yi Zhi's contentment to encourage Xianfeng to follow the example of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to give Mrs. Yi Death Hook Yi and take the decisive measure of 'setting up his son and removing his mother', he didn't dare to mention it at all.
