Chapter 761: Borrowing a knife to kill

The news of Yi Zhi's contentment to Jin Feng Zhennan Wang spread quickly, and it quickly spread in Shanghai, and the local officials, gentlemen, and businessmen who asked themselves if they were on the table or who had a little friendship with Yi Zhi, came to Zhenhai Mansion to celebrate as soon as possible, and for a while, the street in front of the Mansion was full of traffic, and all kinds of sedan chairs and carriages were endless.

A little bit of eyesight in the heart of the heart understands, easy to be content with the king is of great significance, this is not only the Han people to be the king, these years easy to be content to sit in the southeast, control the military and political of more than ten provinces in the southeast, although not divided, but also no different from the separation, 'Yi Xuan Guan' is now called 'Southern Election' in the Qing Dynasty officialdom than the 'Northern Election' of the Beijing Imperial Court.

This time, Yi Zhizhi was named the king of Zhennan by the imperial court, which is equivalent to the fact that the imperial court acquiesced to the fact that Yuan Qi seized the southeast, which is not only conducive to improving the status of Yi Zhicontent, but also enough to make Yi Zhicontent rightfully dominate the southeastern provinces.

Although Yi Zhishu didn't like to be lively, and he didn't like this kind of socialization with little significance, he didn't turn away visitors, but arranged for Zhao Liewen, Wu Changqing, Yan Shikuan, Kong Jian'an, Xie Xiuyuan and others to greet everyone, but he was bored in the study and pondered.

Xianfeng was suddenly promoted to the title of prince, how could even Prince Gong be resurrected? Is this going to be an assistant to the government? What does Xianfeng think, so that he is not afraid of repeating the mistakes of Shunzhi? If this is the case, the pattern of the DPRK and China will form a three-legged trend of Cixi, Yixun, and Sushun.

In this way, the Xinyou coup d'Γ©tat will not happen, Cixi will not be able to find a political alliance at all, he originally planned to use the Xinyou coup to overthrow Cixi in one fell swoop, and the abacus of implementing constitutional government will definitely not work, without pressure, Yixin will definitely not take risks.

Smoking a cigarette and pondering for a long time, Yi Zhizhi was content before he instructed the outside world: "Come here, call Cao Gensheng." ”

Cao Gen was born quickly, and said at the door: "What do you have to say about the big treasurer?" ”

"Send a secret telegram to Prince Hui Mianyu and the servant of the Ministry Zeng Guofan." Yi Zhizu said slowly: "The new monarch is young, in order to prevent being overhead, the emperor will inevitably take preventive measures, Yi Guifei likes to play with power, and as the biological mother of the new monarch, she has an incomparable advantage, you must get rid of it, otherwise, the court situation will be unstable." ”

Writing down the message, Cao Gensheng said: "Big shopkeeper, Jingshi cut off the cable telegraph ........ ”

"Contact Ren An, he has a way, tell him that it must be as soon as possible." Yi Zhishu commanded, after thinking about it, he still decided to try it, and use the power of Su Shun and Yixun to solve Cixi, this woman can control the Qing Dynasty for half a century, and there is no shortage of scheming, power and ambition, if you want to implement the constitution of the hypocritical monarch, you must first solve this woman.

Baoding, Qingxi Mausoleum.

After receiving the quick report, Yi Xun frowned, it was really Xianfeng's two edicts that were too surprising, for his fourth brother, who grew up with him since childhood, it can be said that no one knows him better, how could he call him back to Beijing at this moment, and also return to the superintendent minister?

Do you want him to assist Youjun? Or do you want him to go to Beijing to cut off this hidden danger? Yi Zhishu shouldn't leak any rumors over there? He hesitated in his heart, should he return to Beijing? Still not going back to Beijing? Or maybe wait and see for a few days, Xianfeng should come to the last moment?

Just when he hesitated, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves, his heart tightened, and he hurriedly walked out of the courtyard, and it was still a messenger, a messenger sent by Gui Liang, the governor of Zhili, but the letter was not written by Gui Liang, but by Wen Xiang, the minister of military aircraft.

In the letter, Wen Xiang briefly explained the situation of the Beijing Division, emphasizing that Xianfeng summoned Peng Yunzhang, the former chief minister of military aircraft, twice after his illness, for a long time, so it was speculated that Xianfeng's change of attitude was most likely because of Peng Yunzhang's advances.

Seeing this letter, Yixun pondered for a while before he said aloud: "Come, prepare horses, and return to Beijing!" After a pause, he commanded again: "Send someone to spread the word to the monk king quickly, and say that the situation has changed, and the king will return to Beijing as soon as possible, and let him wait for the news." ”

If Xianfeng is sincere in recovering him to assist the new monarch, he has no need to take risks, he must rush back to Beijing as soon as possible, one is to understand the situation, and the other is to reassure Xianfeng, if he does not return to Beijing for a long time, Xianfeng is only afraid that he will be suspicious again, and there will be twists and turns!

Jingshi, the Forbidden City, the Palace of Nourishing the Heart.

Lao Qiyi walked into the duty room outside the door of Yangxin briskly, glanced at the staggering group of adults, and showed a smile on his face, "Everyone, the emperor has entered a bowl of old rice porridge and two small steamed buns, and his spirit has recovered, and the imperial doctor has also called the pulse, and the pulse tends to be stable, and there is no major problem at present, and you have all stayed overnight, and you will go back to the house to rest for ......the time being." ”

"Seventh Master." Su Shun said: "Although the emperor is no longer in trouble, everything must be cautious, and everyone will be divided into three shifts and take turns to be on duty in the Heart Cultivation Palace. ”

"It's fine." Although from the current signs, Xianfeng's condition has developed for the better, but the pulse and attitude of the previous imperial doctors have left a shadow in everyone's hearts, and they have no bottom in their hearts.

After discussing the matter of taking turns on duty, Su Shun walked out of the duty room and was about to go to the imperial doctor to have a look, and when he went out and raised his eyes, he saw Peng Yunzhang's back, his heart moved, and he hurriedly accelerated his steps to catch up, and said softly: "Peng Zhongtang——。 ”

Peng Yunzhang stopped and turned to see him, and arched his hand: "Is there something wrong with Lord Su?" ”

"Can Peng Zhongtang take a step to speak?" Su Shun said, raised his hand and pointed forward.

Peng Yunzhang smiled and said, "Lord Su wants to ask about King Gong?" ”

"What I want to know more is the matter of Yi Guocheng being crowned king." Su Shun lowered his voice and said, "Peng Zhongtang has never been disgusted with Yuan Qi. ”

Peng Yunzhang didn't say a word, and walked to a slightly secluded place before he stood still, and Su Shun continued: "Yi Guocheng is the king, the imperial court wants Yuanqi to divide the southeast?" ”

Peng Yunzhang looked at him calmly, "If Yi Guocheng wants to divide the southeast, can the imperial court stop it?" ”

"Naturally, it can't be stopped." Su Shun smiled bitterly: "However, this king, isn't it to instigate him to ......." ”

"How can he change the city of Yiguo that the imperial court can easily control?" Peng Yunzhang's tone was calm, but he listened a little coldly, "After quelling the bandits and bandits, with the prestige and strength of Yi Guocheng, it is enough to easily divide the southeast, but although he is domineering, he has never taken this step."

Not only that, but he also incorporated Annam, Siam, and Burma, which drove the bandits to fight, into the territory of the Qing Dynasty, established provinces and counties, and sent officials to garrison troops, at least on the surface, under the guise of the imperial court.

What does this mean? This shows that Yi Guocheng is unwilling to create a situation of local secession, even if the imperial court crowns him the king of Zhennan and makes him a vassal king, he will not divide the southeast on the surface!

In that case, why can't he be crowned king? The imperial court abolished the Eight Banners system, implemented the equality of all ethnic groups, and Yi Guocheng was crowned king as a Han person, which is the best embodiment, the current situation, the first priority of the imperial court is to stabilize Yuanqi, what can be more stable than this? ”

Su Shun hesitated for a moment before he said, "Even if you want to entrap Yuanqi and give grace to the new monarch, wouldn't it be better?" ”

Hearing this, Peng Yunzhang shook his head slightly, "In normal times, I don't know how many ministers oppose this matter, if you really have to wait until the new monarch ascends the throne, who has such courage?" ”

Su Shun was speechless, this is the truth, how many **** are there in the Qing Dynasty, and the Han people are rewarded with an iron hat, those princes of the clan, and the Manmeng members don't know how greasy they are, how can there be no objection, that is, in this extraordinary period at present, if it is put on hold in normal times, this Jingshi is afraid that it will have already fried the pot.

After hesitating, he couldn't hold back after all, and said, "....... King Gong return to Beijing?" ”

"King Gong's return to Beijing is a good thing for everyone." Peng Yunzhang was obviously reluctant to talk about it, and turned to leave as he spoke.

Good news for whom? What does that mean? Su Shun was confused, all the way out of the palace and back to the house, he was still pondering this sentence in his mind, he really didn't understand, what good was it for him to return to Beijing?

Thinking all the way, he squinted unconsciously, and he was not woken up until he entered the sedan chair, and as soon as he got out of the sedan chair, the head of the house greeted him and reported: "Master, Prince Hui is here, and there is a little waiter surnamed Zeng in the ministry." ”

Mianyu and Zeng Guofan came to his mansion together? Su Shun didn't think much about it and knew that it must have something to do with Yuan Qi, so he asked, "Where are the people?" ”

"Back to the master, the people are in the West Cross Courtyard."

After washing up a little, Su Shun hurried to the west courtyard, and when he entered the courtyard, he heard the slight sound of falling children in the room, the two of them were playing chess? When he entered the room, he saw that the two of them were really playing chess, and he couldn't help but smile, "The two of you are really leisurely...... ”

"Who knows when you'll be home? Sitting bored. Mianyu sat still without moving, but Zeng Guofan hurriedly got up and saluted, "Disheng doesn't need to be formal." Su Shun said and stretched out his hand and smiled: "Two of you next?" ”

Mianyu threw away the chess pieces in his hand and said, "How is the emperor's situation?" ”

"His condition has stabilized and there is no major problem for the time being." Su Shun said, sat down casually and said, "Why did the two of you come to the door in person?" ”

"Let's all go down." Mianyu retreated from the waiting maid, Zeng Guofan glanced at the door, cautiously closed the doors and windows, seeing this situation, Su Shun's heart sank, knowing that it must be a big thing.

"This is a secret message sent by Yi Guocheng, you can take a look." Mianyu didn't talk nonsense, and handed him a translated message.

His eyes swept over the message, and Su Shun's face was a little ugly, "Yi Guocheng has a grudge against this woman?" ”

Mianyu was amused by his words, "Yi Guocheng shouldn't have even seen her face, where did the hatred come from?" After a pause, he said straightforwardly: "Up to now, this king will not hide it from you, as early as the birth of the emperor's eldest son, Yi Guocheng reminded this king to be careful of this woman's ....... of disaster to the country." As he spoke, he said slowly: "Fifty years ago, the dream was true, and now it is gone. When he only spoke about the day, he remembered that the incense soul was the back body.

This poem is a desperate poem left by He Shen before his death, but Yi Guocheng changed it slightly, changing the sentence 'He was only in the mouth of the day,' to 'When he was full of water and dragon day.' ’”

Su Shun stared at him suspiciously, and said, "Yi Guocheng is still good at poetry?" I don't believe this, what does it mean that this water is full of dragons? ”

"Sensei said that you didn't believe it, and this king didn't believe it at first." Mianyu said: "For this reason, someone also specially collected He Shen's dying poems, and this water contains allusions to dragons....... Speaking of this, he stretched out his hand and pressed it falsely, "Let's not talk about this, a few days later, I made a special trip to inquire again, Yi Guocheng said very clearly, what poems are not important, the important thing is to prevent women from harming the country." ”

Su Shun said with a look of disbelief: "Yi Guocheng reminded you in six years? ”

"There is a half-nonsense, and the children will be cut off." Mianyu said with a solemn face.

Su Shun, Zeng Guofan's expression was solemn, Mianyu is also ****, cutting off children and grandchildren can be said to be the most vicious oath for him, obviously, the other party is not lying, then this matter is even more incredible, six years ago, Yi Zhizhi alluded to it, it can no longer be said to be an allusion, it is purely a clear reminder to Mianyu to prevent Yi Guifei, so as not to have a situation where women will bring disaster to the country.

After a while, Su Shuncai shook his head and said, "This thing is still too unbelievable. ”

"The reason why I shake this out is to tell you that this is the last chance." Mianyu said in a deep voice: "Once ...... The new monarch ascended the throne, and she was the queen mother's ....... ”

Su Shun rolled his eyes, "What can I do about this?" You can't tell the emperor to remind women that they are in trouble for the country, right? The eldest brother is only six years old ........ Speaking of this, he tilted his head, "Why don't you let King Gong say it?" ”

"It's hard to say whether King Gong can come back in time." Mianyu said angrily: "The current situation in the palace, you know best, is that every day is a day, otherwise this king will not rush to sit on this cold bench." ”

"The emperor's condition has improved greatly." Su Shun said: "Xiling is only more than 200 miles away from Jingshi, and the light horse gallops, and tomorrow will be able to arrive no matter what." ”

Hearing this, Mianyu didn't want to say anything more, in fact, he also felt that this matter was very tricky, Concubine Yi was also a concubine if she said this, and she was the only concubine who gave birth to an heir for Xianfeng, so let Su Shun abolish her to Xianfeng, how could this be opened? There is a way to be intimate, this is not something that can be said as a courtier and a slave, it is no different from looking for death.

Zeng Guofan, who had never spoken, said: "Thinking about it, the meaning of King Zhennan is very clear, it is to let Su Zhongtang and others abolish Concubine Yi by the emperor's hand!" ”

Su glanced at him, sighed lightly, and said, "The emperor is indeed dissatisfied with Concubine Yi, but how dare we as courtiers speak presumprisingly?" Besides, the emperor is in this situation now, I am afraid that he will not have the opportunity to take the initiative to mention Concubine Yi again. ”

"The king of Zhennan has actually made it clear." Zeng Guofan said in a low voice: "The eldest brother is young, even if he is assisted by important ministers, the emperor will be worried that the eldest brother will be set aside, and there will inevitably be preventive measures, this is the topic, Concubine Yi is the biological mother of the eldest brother, so I don't have to worry about not being able to attract her." ”

Su Shun frowned, this method is feasible, at the moment Xianfeng is most concerned about this matter, this is the first thing to say, it can still show his loyalty, a little groaning, he said: "Send a telegram to Yi Guocheng, how can I ensure that the eldest brother is not set aside." ”
