Chen Yuande, Gilsky and Yi 60 discussed the specific matters and left Prince Gong's mansion.

At this moment, Yi 60 was sitting alone in the study, with a solemn expression. He was already feeling the pressure he had never felt before, and even felt like he was about to suffocate his breath. He ceded land in exchange for the support of the Russians, which was already a traitor. Although Yi 60 kept comforting himself, he was still uneasy in his heart.

Just as Yi 60 was sitting in the study and fell into deep thought, there was a gentle knock on the door outside the study. Yi 60 looked up at the door and said in a deep voice, "Who?" ”

"Lord Wang, it's a humble position!"

Outside the study, there was a slightly shrill voice.

Yi 60 said: "Come in!" ”

The door opened, and a middle-aged man in his early forties walked in.

This middle-aged man has a short stature, and his height is only about one meter six. His eyes were long and narrow, with a pair of small eyes, slightly sunken sockets, a hooked nose, thin lips, and thin cheeks, revealing a mean and unkind taste. At first glance, it gives people a very uncomfortable feeling. But he walked in, but Yi 60 stood up and said, "Sir, please take a seat!" ”

The gentleman in the mouth of Yi 60, named Fan Jian, a native of Tianjin, Fan Jian was a talent in the Daoguang period, but Fan Jian repeatedly failed to succeed and wanted to continue to go to the scientific examination, but every time he was named Sun Shan, and finally became disheartened and failed to embark on a career. When Yi 60 and Xianfeng were competing for the throne, Fan Jian entered Yi 60's mansion and acted as a staff member to give advice to Yi 60.

After Fan Yan sat down, he said, "Lord Wang, did Chen Yuande and Gilsky leave?" ”

Yi 60 nodded weakly, without energy.

Fan Ji said: "Lord Wang, what are the conditions for the Russians in the north to send troops? ”

Yi 60 sighed and said: "This king agreed to the conditions of the Kyrsky, ceding the places north of the Heilongjiang River, as well as Sakhalin Island and other places, in exchange for the Russians sending troops to get along. Alas...... I think that back then, the Holy Ancestor Kangxi defeated the Russians in Yaksa, in the Heilongjiang region, and showed his prestige in the Qing Dynasty. Now, I want to use the power of the Russians to fight for the throne, and I am worthy of my ancestors! ”

Undoubtedly, Yi 60 is conflicted in his heart.

He wanted to compete for the throne, but he didn't want to betray the country.

It's just that he betrayed the country for the throne after all.

After hearing this, Fan Jian understood Yi 60's thoughts in his heart, and immediately persuaded: "Lord Wang, you are temporary, everyone has a difficult time!" Moreover, the winner is the king and the loser is the villain, and the history books of each dynasty are written by the victors. As long as the prince can ascend to the throne, all problems can be solved. ”

"In the past, in order to strengthen himself, didn't Li Yuan, the Taizu of the Tang Dynasty, also claim to be the emperor of the Turks? By the time Li Shimin arrived, the national strength was strong and the situation was reversed in one fell swoop. Since then, no one dared to mention Li Yuan's submission to the Turks, but the Turks declared themselves to the Tang Dynasty, and they did not dare to cause any more incidents. ”

Fan Yan said solemnly: "The prince is talented and a person who does great things, not an incompetent and faint king like Xianfeng." As long as the prince ascends to the throne and is determined to reform, he will definitely make the Qing Dynasty strong and prosperous. When the time comes, the prince will wave his army north and reclaim the area north of Heilongjiang in one fell swoop, and no one will dare to mention this matter. Lord, now is the most critical moment, there is no room for any mistakes, can you be in the woman's kindness! ”

Yi 60 said: "What you say, this king understands. ”

Fan Zhen said again: "An hour ago, Li Zhen beheaded the Governor of the Nine Gates, killed Mu Shiqi, the right-wing commander of the Admiral's Yamen, and killed the twelve officials who were loyal to Wang Yiyun of the Alcohol County. Lord Wang, Li Zhen is like a murderer, and he has already sacrificed a butcher's knife. If you are still worried about ceding land, I'm afraid Li Zhen's butcher's knife won't even know about his neck! ”

Yi 60 showed a look of surprise in his eyes, and said, "Yi Xun was really killed?" ”

Fan admonished: "I was really killed!" ”

"Dog minion!"

Yi 60's face turned red all of a sudden, and his eyes were full of anger.

He slapped it on the desk and said loudly: "Yi Xun is the king of the royal family, but Li Zhen dares to kill Yi Xun, it's too unusual." Fan Zhen, go and inform the people below that they are ready to impeach Li Zhen. Hmph, the emperor wants to rely on Li Zhen, but this Li Zhen killed Yixun, and he will definitely be attacked by the princes and nobles. This king wants to see if the emperor can protect Li Zhen, if he loses the support of the princes and nobles, the emperor's position may not be stable, let alone the children who are a few months old. ”

Fan Yan responded with a smile and turned to leave.

……

In the sixth year of Xianfeng, the third day of the seventh month.

When the sky was just dawning, the Donghua Gate was already overcrowded.

Donghua Gate is the east gate of the Forbidden City, there is a stone stele outside the door, and the Jinshui River flows north and south inside the door. When officials go to court, they generally enter the palace through the Donghua Gate. At this time, the city gate of Donghua Gate was brightly lit, and the soldiers standing guard were all waiting for it, and the gate of Donghua Gate was closed and did not open the door. Almost all the civil and military officials who participated in the court meeting had arrived, standing outside the door and waiting.

"Prince Gong is here!"

Among the officials, a shout suddenly rang out.

A sedan chair stopped, and Prince Gong walked out in stride. He was well-dressed, his expression was serious, and there was a solemn look in his eyes. After Yi 60 walked down, countless officials rushed over to salute, and Yi 60 also answered one by one, very kindly. Yi 60 saw another sedan chair stop, but Su Shun walked down from the sedan chair.

Yi 60 walked forward and said with a smile: "Yi 60 has seen Lord Su Shun!" ”

He looked respectful and put on a respectful appearance.

In doing so, he naturally told the rest of the officials that he had a tolerant and graceful attitude. Su Shun didn't give a good face, and said impatiently: "What is early?" It's dawn, it's still early! "Su Shun spoke rudely, and was completely an outlier of the Manchu clan nobility.

Yi 60 showed embarrassment on his face, but still smiled slightly.

It's just that he was extremely angry in his heart, thinking that after he ascended the throne, he must humiliate Su Shun fiercely, and then send Su Shun to the frontier to avenge today's revenge. Yi 60 retreated and saw Du Han, Zaiyuan, Duanhua and other important ministers of the DPRK and China coming. In addition, there were also some people belonging to the Yi 60 camp who also walked in.

Yi 60 looked around, found that Gui Liang didn't come, and asked, "Why didn't Gui Liang come?" ”

The little guy who came with him immediately explained: "Lord Wang, have you forgotten that Lord Gui Liang is sick? Now Lord Guiliang can't get out of bed, so he can't come to the court meeting. ”

Yi 60 oh sound, I have remembered.

He knew the news, but forgot it. He secretly scolded Gui Liang in his heart for being an old fox, because Yi 60 Without Gui Liang's strong support, the power of the DPRK and China would be smaller.

"Crunch!!"

The city gate opened, and a loud roar came: "Hundred officials enter the court!" ”

When all the officials involved in the court meeting heard this, they immediately straightened their chests, and the whispering stopped, and the audience was silent. The officials participating in the court meeting were still divided into three camps, one was from Sushun, Duanhua, Zaiyuan and others, the other was from Prince Gong Yi 60, and the other was neutral, and the officials of these three camps began to enter the city gate one after another.
