Chapter 764: Calm down

This is also too far-fetched, because this sentence can assert that Yi Zhixin will not rebel? Xianfeng obviously didn't believe it, but he really had a great luck with Yi Zhicontent, with Yuan Qi's strength, Yi Zhixiang neither raised troops to make trouble, nor did he cut off the alleged king, which was extremely unreasonable, and it was inevitable that he would not be lucky.

Although Yixun's words are a bit far-fetched, it is not unreasonable to think about it, Yi Zhixin was born in the first year of Daoguang, and he is already the year of not being confused, so it is naturally impossible to live for another fifty years, and more importantly, Yi Zhixin is already a year of not being confused, but he has not raised troops when he has the strength and opportunity, on the other hand, does it mean that he really does not have the heart to make trouble?

With a slight groan, he said in a steady tone, "Go on." ”

"Your Majesty." Yi Xun said slowly: "Yi Zhixiang's foresight ability is amazing, this is an undoubted thing, putting this aside for the time being, Yi Zhixiang and Yi Guifei have never known each other, and there is no grudge, Yi Guifei can neither threaten Yuan Qi, let alone Yi Zhixiang, why does he have to put Yi Guifei to death?" It's all out of the open!

Through this incident, we can get a glimpse of Yi Zhi's contentment, he hopes that the situation will be stable, in other words, Yuan Qi will not cause trouble, at least for now. The courtiers thought that if the imperial court could take the initiative to ease the relationship with Yuan Qi, Yi Zhizhi might not be able to rebel for the rest of his life. ”

This reminded Xianfeng that although Yi Zhi's message was excessive, it was out of public intentions, and it was commendable that he could have this attitude! Thinking of this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, over the years, Yuan Qi was like a boulder pressing on his heart, arranging the aftermath, and what he was most worried about was Yuan Qi.

In turn, he thought that Yi Zhi's foresight ability was indeed amazing, especially when deploying the northwest strategy, he was extremely impressed, the Qing Dynasty was able to expand in the northwest so smoothly, thanks to its accurate prediction, and the same was true of the battle of Jinjing, and the four British and French countries were tantamount to being pulled into the encirclement of Jinjing step by step by Yi Zhifen.

However, those things can be said, but Yi Guifei's matter is a little unbelievable, he pointed to the telegram, and Yi Xun hurriedly submitted the telegram.

The jade bead curtain is fifty springs, and the three times he hugs people. The Qing Dynasty lasted for fifty years, and three generations of emperors were puppets. This meaning is very clear, it refers to the fact that the heroine was in the dynasty for fifty years, and the three young monarchs were established, which led to the collapse of the Qing Dynasty after only 50 years.

After Su Shun turned back, he knelt behind Yixun, kowtowed a few times, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the bead curtain is in the dynasty, within fifty years, Sanli Youjun, this kind of thing must not be allowed to happen, even if it is a slight possibility, it must be eliminated from ......." ”

Yixun followed and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, for the sake of the Qing Dynasty, I would rather kill in vain or kill by mistake, and I must never suffer in the future, and my brother earnestly prays for the emperor to make a prudent decision." ”

This is forcing the palace! Xianfeng was a little annoyed in his heart, he was not dead yet, which forced him to kill his concubine, after his death, he left orphans and widows without knowing how he would be bullied? He glanced coldly at the two people lying on the ground, and kept his mouth shut and said nothing.

The atmosphere in the room became solemn in an instant, Yi Xun and Su Shun were stabbed in the back from time to time, extremely uneasy, at this moment, Mianyu entered the dormitory, knelt down and said: "Minister Mianyu respectfully invites the emperor to be sainte." Standing up, he realized that the atmosphere in the hall was not right, and he couldn't help but be a little vigilant in his heart, and hurriedly stepped forward and knelt in a row with Yixun.

Xianfeng was silent for a while before he said, "Show him the telegram." ”

Looking at the telegram, Mianyu couldn't help but secretly complain, he couldn't get rid of this matter anyway, if Xianfeng was angry, they were afraid that they wouldn't be able to please one, he couldn't help but secretly complain that Yi Zhizhi was content, is it necessary to get things to such a point without mediation? Xianfeng's condition has improved significantly, so can't he slowly figure it out?

He knew that he couldn't hide it, so he immediately took off his top and put it on the ground, kowtowed a few more times, and told the matter as it was.

Listening to Zaichun's full moon, Yi Zhi's kind reminder, Xianfeng was also shocked, and said in a muffled voice after a while: "Why didn't you report this?" ”

Mianyu's face was bitter, report? How to report? Concubine Yi gave birth to the eldest brother, and he was being favored, he dared to report it truthfully, which would be afraid that the grass on the grave would be too tall, so he hurriedly kowtowed and said: "The minister deserves to die." ”

Hearing this, Yixun and Su Shun were relieved, Xianfeng's tone was obviously loosened, Yixun didn't dare to hesitate, and hurriedly said: "When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty established the prince, he was the son who killed his mother, and later generations praised and depreciated it, and besides, the court must also take care of Yi Zhi's face....... and the military aircraft department where this telegram was sent directly is afraid that it will not be able to hide it." ”

He didn't say it thoroughly, but Xianfeng understood that if he didn't kill Concubine Yi, the relationship between Yuan Qi and the imperial court would inevitably deteriorate, and if it was serious, it might even intensify Yi Zhi's rebellion, and if he didn't want to leave his son with an unmanageable situation, he would have to sacrifice Concubine Yi.

In fact, when Su Shun presented the seal system in the morning, he had the idea of getting rid of Yi Guifei, but he couldn't make up his mind, not because he cared about the love of husband and wife, but because he couldn't bear that his son Zaichun was like himself, he lost his mother since he was a child, and now it seems that he can't protect it.

After being silent for a while, he said softly: "Draft, Yi Guifei Nala clan violated the ancestral system and discussed the government in vain...... Death. After saying this, he seemed to be much more relaxed, he knew his own temperament very well, and knew that he could not hesitate or delay in this matter, otherwise he would be shaken.

After calling the chief eunuch to use the seal, Xianfeng groaned for a while before he said: "Yixun, Sushun, accompany the supervision." ”

Shanghai, Zhennan Wangfu, Changle Book House.

Approaching dusk, Yi Zhishu was about to go back to the backyard, Cao Gensheng hurried over with brisk steps, and said, "Big shopkeeper, Jingshi telegraph." ”

There were two telegrams, one each from Yixun and Su Shun, but the meaning was the same, and the two of them personally supervised the death of Yi Guifei Nala.

Finally got rid of this scourge, Yi Zhizu Chang breathed a sigh of relief, and after signing the telegram, he returned it to Cao Gensheng, and he walked out of the room relaxed, although he was sure that even if the Nala clan did not die, it would be difficult to listen to the government and control the situation, but the existence of this woman would inevitably become the biggest obstacle to the implementation of the hypocritical monarchy constitution in the imperial court, and it would be much easier to get rid of it.

Only two days later, at eight o'clock in the morning of July 17, Yi Zhizu had just entered the courtyard of Changle Bookstore, and Zhao Liewen and Cao Gensheng hurriedly chased after him, "Lord Wang, the emperor has died!" ”

So fast? Yi Zhizhi couldn't help but be satisfied, hearing that Xianfeng's condition had stabilized, he estimated that it might drag on for a few months or even a year or two, and it would drag on for ten days and a half at worst, but he didn't expect that it was only two days later, Xianfeng died, fortunately he shot in time and didn't wait and see, otherwise as soon as Xianfeng died, it would be a lot of trouble to get rid of the Nala clan.

The telegram was sent by Yi Xun, he purely regarded the telegram as a letter, detailing Xianfeng's deathbed situation and personnel arrangements, Xianfeng died very suddenly, to everyone's surprise, the morning of July 16 was still normal, but in the afternoon he suddenly fainted, and after he woke up in the evening, he sent two edicts in a row, both of which had already been prepared.

The first is to canonize the emperor's eldest son, Jaechun, as the crown prince.

The second is to appoint Yixun, Mianyu, Zaiyuan, Duanhua, Sushun, Wenxiang, Du Han, and Kuang Yuan as ministers to praise all government affairs.

Finally, in the message, Yixun asked, when is it appropriate to implement a hypocritical constitution?

After pondering for a while, Yi Zhizhi said: "Call back to King Gong, the hypocrite should not be in a hurry to establish a constitution, the top priority is to first formulate a constitution that conforms to the national conditions, and the constitutions of Western countries have been prepared for a long time, although they can be used for reference, but it is not appropriate to copy and discuss, the constitution of a country must conform to the actual situation of the country." ”

As he spoke, he looked at Zhao Liewen, "The emperor died, and the rules should be followed, but within the public concession, there is no need to restrain it, and in addition, if you order it to go down, you won't see any guests today." ”

The two of them retreated, Yi Zhicontent lit a cigarette, Xianfeng died, he was somewhat sad, in his opinion, Xianfeng should be the most bitter son of heaven in the Qing Dynasty so far, since Yuji ascended the throne, wars and famines have been continuous, reigning for twelve years, but not a few years of peace, this is still thanks to Yuan Qi.

For Xianfeng, he didn't have much disgust, in his opinion, Xianfeng was more radical than Daoguang, at least Daoguang would not be so bold to carry out reform and reform, implement a new policy, of course, for him, the six-year-old new monarch Zaichun ascended the throne, which was more beneficial to him to Yuan Qi and the Qing Dynasty.

At present, under the influence of the DPRK and China, Yixun and Sushun have become reformists, and the reform of the law and the implementation of the new policy were carried out during the reign of Xianfeng.

As for the court situation in Beijing, he is not in a hurry to intervene now, first wait and see for a while, Yi Xun is well-behaved, and he knows the call to report at the first time, this is actually a gesture, Su Shun is far behind in this regard, however, Su Shun is determined to innovate, brave to do things, is a rare candidate for changing the law and reforming and implementing the new policy.

In the blink of an eye, it is late autumn, the cotton picking has come to an end, Yi Zhizhi will also focus on the cotton hegemony, the American Civil War is in the ascendant, the scale of the war between the North and the South is gradually escalating, the two sides began large-scale recruitment, is gradually shifting from a limited war to a full-scale war.

But the war does not seem to have had much impact on the European cotton market, which is not only not out of stock, but also has not risen in cotton prices, and futures and bonds are also tepid.

On this day, Xie Xiuyuan walked quickly into Yi Zhi's study with a telegram, and said after bowing his hand: "Big shopkeeper, this is a telegram sent by Hu Xueyan from London. With that, he handed the telegram up.

In his telegram, Hu Xueyan gave a briefing on the situation in the European cotton market, mentioning that Britain and France and the American Southern Union had formed a huge smuggling fleet, and that the northern federation had made a vain blockade of the southern coast, and that many European traders who speculated in cotton were disappointed with the prospects of cotton and sold off their spot and securities one after another.

Seeing Yi Zhicontent, he put down the telegram, and Xie Xiuyuan said slowly: "Big shopkeeper, we have invested a huge amount of money in cotton, if the Northern Navy fleet cannot carry out an effective blockade, the prospects of cotton are indeed worrying, should we also sell some of it?" ”

"There is a famous saying in the financial markets." Yi Zhishu said slowly: "When others are afraid, I am greedy. ”

Xie Xiuyuan Yileng, "The big shopkeeper means to do the opposite?" After a pause, he continued: "The big treasurer should be very clear about the naval strength of the northern part of the United States, if we can't form an effective blockade, we can't dominate the market with our financial strength. ”

"I have analyzed before that it is not only the coastal blockade of the northern navy that affects the export of southern cotton to Europe, but also the reasons of the south itself." Yi Zhixin was not in a hurry, and said in a calm tone: "The war is about money, and the south is a plantation economy, which cannot support a long-term large-scale war."

What will the South do when it realizes that the war will escalate and that it is far away? They will strongly demand that Britain and France intervene to end the war as soon as possible, and what measures will the South take when Britain and France have already declared their neutrality?

In addition to issuing bonds in the European financial market, it can only threaten and threaten with cotton, and for Britain and France, cotton in the south is indispensable, and this is actually the confidence of the south to dare to take the initiative to provoke a war. ”

Speaking of this, he said slowly: "Don't worry, the south will soon take the initiative to restrict cotton exports, in order to blackmail Britain and France to support them, Britain and France and other countries will definitely interfere in disguise, for the Qing Dynasty, this is a rare show, we have to calm down and appreciate it slowly." ”

Keep calm? Xie Xiuyuan was speechless for a while, Yuan Qi almost pressed all his belongings, once he made a mistake in judgment, the consequences would be unimaginable, how could he calm down? The cotton speculators in Europe have lost confidence, but this master is very confident, and I really don't know where his confidence comes from.

However, he knew the master's temperament, and there was no possibility of changing the things he had recognized, and he groaned slightly, and then he said euphemistically: "Yuanqi is now developing well, there is no need to take this risk, it is better to invest a little less, in case of any accidents, it will not hurt the muscles and ......bones." ”

Yi Zhishu glanced at him and said, "Do you know how much an ironclad ship costs?" Large ships cost millions of taels of silver, how much silver does it cost to build a fleet? At least thirty or fifty million taels of silver. How much money does it cost a year to popularize new learning? How much money does it cost to build a railroad in a year?

Yes, with the current development momentum of Yuanqi, steady and steady, it will not take a few years to survive, but Yuanqi's shareholders are not willing to boil, I am not willing to boil, more importantly, through the cotton hegemony, we can deal a heavy blow to the European financial industry, such a rare opportunity, if it is let go in vain, it will be unfavorable to us in the future, this is the so-called, God does not take it, and it will be blamed. ”
