"Abba! Don't say such things! When Princess Rongchang heard her father say such a sentence that defied royal grace, she couldn't help but be shocked and immediately cried out.

Prince Jing also realized that he was angry and lost his words for a while, he looked at his daughter and smiled bitterly, "Alas, Fang'er, Abba has burdened you!" ”

"Abba, it's my brother who is not good, it's Abba, it's definitely not Abba's daughter......" Princess Rongchang remembered her younger brother Chengming, who was whipped to death by her father, and couldn't help crying, "Daughter...... Unfilial piety, didn't manage his brother well......"

"It's none of your business! It's all Abba's fault! Prince Jing's voice was cold.

The stubborn "Ming Belle", Prince Jing's eldest son Chengming was born in the eighth year of Xianfeng, in fact, he is very talented, and he has received a good education since childhood, and likes to read and recite poetry. Although Chengming is literate, among the princes of the Tongzhi Dynasty, he is known for his debauchery and stubbornness. This may be related to the early death of his two younger brothers, who are the eldest son, and have been doted on by his parents since he was a child. The failure of Prince Jing's tutor Yixin is evident from this (comparable to Prince Frederick, Crown Prince of Prussia).

One summer, Cheng Ming led a group of evil young people to Shichahai. While drinking tea on the shore, I saw a bewitching woman sitting next to me, who was alone and unmarried, and frequently flattered him. Déjà vu, want to talk and stop. Cheng Ming likes to touch flowers and grass, and sent his subordinates to buy a bouquet of lotus pods as a gift, and said to her: "This is a gift from the uncle, I want to meet you, is it okay?" The woman replied, "My family is miscellaneous, and it is very inconvenient, so please choose a place." Chengming was overjoyed when he heard this, and invited her to a secret room in a restaurant to meet. The two have been together for a long time, and the woman knows that she is Chengming, but Chengming does not know who the woman's surname is. One day. Chengming said to her: "We are in love. But they can't stay together. What can I do? You might as well marry me. The woman replied, "There is a mother-in-law and a husband in the house." That won't happen. The only way to do that is to rob me halfway through. Uncle robbed a woman, who dares to say half a word! "Chengming was overjoyed when he heard about it. still asked the woman to meet in the Shichahai tea house, and he led a group of evil young people to rush up and rob the woman. For a while, public opinion was boiling, thinking that Chengming robbed the women of a good family, but I didn't know that it was designed by the two of them. In fact, the woman's husband was a member of the Eight Divisions, and her husband heard that she had been kidnapped by the famous "Minbele". I didn't dare to go to the government to accuse, I was angry, I became crazy, I bare my chest all day long, and I talked nonsense on the street. The matter reached Prince Jing's ears, and Prince Jing was furious, and after checking it, he learned that the woman was also the daughter of the clan (royal family), and in terms of seniority, she was still Chengming's aunt!

Chengming's character is stubborn. It's okay, the key is that he took Emperor Tongzhi badly. Tongzhi Emperor Chengchun and Chengming are both kings and ministers. After all, they are uncles and brothers, and the two are close in age (Cheng is 2 years older next year); Cheng Ming has been reading in the study room in the palace since he was a child, and he has the same smell as Cheng Chun. When he grew up, Chengming often haunted the land of dogs and horses, saw a lot of things, and often told the little emperor the anecdotes of the outside world. After Chengchun became pro-government, he couldn't help the temptation, but the Empress Dowager Renxi and the queen saw it strictly, he couldn't go out of the palace with Chengming Weifu, and went to the prostitution tavern with him for a night banquet, looking for flowers and asking willows, so as to change the tricks that Chengming taught him, and change the method to test on the palace maids, as a result, the emperor's daytime prostitution reached Prince Jing's ears, he was furious when he knew, but he didn't dare to publicize it, for fear of disgrace to the emperor. Therefore, under the pretext of Cheng Ming's luring and robbery of the clan aunt, he ordered him to be imprisoned within the high walls of the Zongren Mansion, with the intention of permanent imprisonment. Fujin, who didn't want to respect the prince, died, and Chengming took the opportunity to ask the Empress Dowager Renxi: "Do your best to be the son of man, and go to the funeral and wear filial piety." "It is not too much for a son to do his filial piety to his mother. Empress Dowager Renxi specially ordered Chengming to be released, but Chengming's original form was revealed, and he was still the same.

Chengming's bad deeds are full of bad deeds, but Prince Jing, who is a father, has no way to deal with him. Once Prince Jing learned that his son actually offered prostitution to the emperor, so that the emperor was still lustful in his illness, and was caught by the Empress Dowager Renxi, the emperor was ordered by the Empress Dowager to "think about it behind closed doors", and he couldn't help but be frightened. Under his anger, he immediately arrested Chengming back to the house, and couldn't help but say that it was a "leather whip stew", which beat Chengming half to death, but after that, Chengming still did not repent, and continued to do mischief with Emperor Tongzhi, Prince Jing had no choice, so he went.

And the consequence of such indulgence is that Emperor Tongzhi died of a secret illness, "poor son of heaven out of smallpox"!

After learning the true cause of Emperor Tongzhi's death, Prince Jing's soul was not possessed, he knew that a catastrophe was coming, and in desperation, he made a shocking move - he personally beat Chengming to death with a horse whip, and in front of his friends and subordinates Bochuan and Lin Yizhe.

And on that day, Princess Rongchang was also present and witnessed the terrible scene.

After Prince Jing entered the palace to ask the Empress Dowager Renxi for guilt, the Empress Dowager Renxi originally had the heart to kill Prince Jing, but after learning that he personally killed the culprit's biological son Chengming, he was quite unhappy, not only did not cure Prince Jing for the death of his son Emperor Tongzhi, but after the Empress Erut gave birth, the boy she gave birth to was passed on to him as the heir of his second son Chengying (Chengming had been succeeded before his death).

On the issue of the choice of the new emperor, Prince Jing chose to support the opinion of the Empress Dowager Renxi - to elect the seventh brother Prince Chun Yixuan and the son of the Empress Dowager Renxi's own sister Chengtian as the emperor.

Killed Chengming, in exchange for the understanding and trust of the Empress Dowager Renxi, in order to keep his position, although he was praised by Lin Yizhe as "a snake and a scorpion devouring hands, a strong man breaking his wrist", but every time in the dead of night, Prince Jing remembers the scene of his son's tragic death, and often falls into deep remorse.

Tiger venom doesn't eat children, and on impulse, he actually beat his son to death with his own hands!

Prince Jing had imagined more than once that if Chengming was not killed that day, how to resolve the crisis.

And after many deductions, he came to the conclusion that the Empress Dowager Renxi might not dare to do anything to him!

He is in control of the Beijing army, the Military Aircraft Department, the Sixth Department and the Prime Minister's Yamen are all in his hands, and the military and political power is in his hands, where do those who are afraid come from? said that the emperor under the guidance of Chengming learned badly, so that the emperor died of illness, if the real cause of the emperor's death is made public, how can she have face as the queen mother? It is impossible for her to make a noise about this matter, so she can only handle it in a low-key manner, so she is not directly responsible. It's going to be fine!

And his son Chengming if he doesn't die. It is unknown whether he was chosen to ascend to the throne of God!

Seung-myung though stubborn. But there is still talent, and the knowledge and wisdom are above Renxi's son Emperor Tongzhi! If you really become a great treasure and restrain it, you will have your own assistance, and maybe you will also be a generation of promising kings!

Moreover, there are rumors in the market that when Emperor Tongzhi was dying, he ordered his teacher Li Gaoyang to draw up an edict to Chengming to succeed him on the throne!

It's a pity, let's talk about it now. It's too late......

Princess Rongchang was about to say more, there was a soft sound of horses' hooves outside the car window, Prince Jing gave her a look, and she closed her mouth.

"Lord Wang, I'm back." Qi Buchen's voice sounded outside the car window.

Prince Jing breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "That Sun Yutang, sent away?" ”

"If you go back to the prince, you will be sent away." Qi Buchen replied respectfully.

"What do you think, what is his ability?"

"It's okay, but it's still inexperienced. If you go through it, it should be good. ”

"If it's a joust. Could it be the opponent of that one? ”

"You should be able to deal with it for a while, but if you want to win, you are only afraid of difficulties."

"Oh." Prince Jing quietly ate chalcedony cake again.

"The competition failed, but this person kept it, and there was still other use." Qi Buchen said again.

"Okay, do as you say." Prince Jing said.

"Yes." Qi Buchen answered.

Although the answer between the two was unknown, Princess Rongchang somehow felt inexplicably uneasy when she heard their conversation.

"How many of the nicknames of the Ding system platform have been reported to the Ministry of Rites for rejection?" Prince Jing changed the subject.

"If you go back to the prince, there are four in total, Wen Ke, Wen Ding, Wen Qin, and Wen Cheng." Qi Buchen replied.

"Hehe, it's not enough to toss four." Prince Jing smiled, "This time I guess the people in the Ministry of Rites are about to go crazy." ”

"How is Abba going to respond?" Princess Rongchang asked again.

"The Ministry of Rites is too, the above must be inappropriate, the so-called big worry about the quiet people is fixed, and Si Shuhui is determined; If you are not happy, you will not hurt yourself; The people are worried about the people, and they are worried about the people; The ancient law of the civil law is fixed, without losing the old meaning. Ding Zhihuang can't occupy any of these articles. Prince Jing didn't seem to understand the meaning of the word "response" in his daughter's words, but talked about the nickname, "Wen Qin, it's a little better, but Ding Zhihuang's diligence has brought to the people of Shandong and Sichuan, but it is a disaster, and it is not appropriate; As for Wen Cheng, it's even more inappropriate, where does he Ding Zhihuang deserve a word? In the previous dynasty, everyone like Liu Ji and Wang Jiaren was called Wencheng, didn't this make the Queen Mother angry? Confused! Confused! ”

"What the prince said is extremely true." Qi Buchen replied outside the car window.

"Mr. Qi, what nickname do you think is better?" Prince Jing asked Qi Buchen.

"Back to the prince's words, look at it below, how is Wenchou?" Qi Buchen said.

"In the country, Ding Zhihuang died in office, and he is somewhat close, but this is generally used for civil servants who have unjustly killed or died in national disasters, and he Ding Zhihuang can't occupy either of them, which is inappropriate."

"What the prince said is that he is only shallow in the next generation, and this is really not good, hehe."

"Gotcha! Don't think about it! Let's let the people in the Ministry of Rites have a headache! Prince Jing smiled, "No matter what they do, as long as it doesn't hit the king!" ”

Hearing her father's words, Princess Rongchang understood how her father would deal with this matter, and then she secretly relieved herself.

On the second day, Qingqi Garden, Yongqing Changchun, Chunfangzhai.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites climbed the steps and entered the quaint square water pavilion. This delicate but unpretentious building sits on a natural boulder in the middle of the water, completely made of unpainted square wood, and there is not even a single iron nail in sight, as if it were built on a huge building block. It's a long time ago, and the dark wood still has a simple and gorgeous pattern. There are no walls around the water pavilion, and the wind passes through the water pavilion, stirring a golden curtain hanging in the center.

"What's in the newspaper this time?" Empress Dowager Renxi's lazy voice came from behind the veil, her voice was not loud, and it sounded very soft, but the officials of the Ministry of Rites still fought a cold war.

"The Empress Dowager of the Blessed Virgin, after a meeting of her subordinates, agreed on the title of 'Wenhe', and respectfully requested the Holy Judgment of the Empress Dowager." The official of the Ministry of Rites said in horror.

"Wenhe? Hmph, he treats the people harshly, this and the word, I'm afraid it won't be able to occupy it? Renxi's voice was full of anger, "Who gave this number?" Demote them all to one level and keep them for a year! ”

"Yes! ……”

"You don't mean to say. This is the lowest number? Empress Dowager Renxi stared at the officials of the Ministry of Rites. Hearing this, the official of the Ministry of Rites knelt down. Bow again and again.

"Back to the words of the Queen Mother, the ministers of the Ministry of Rites met and felt that these two were indeed ...... The lowest ......" The official of the Ministry of Rites said a living word, he knew in his heart that the bigwigs of the Ministry of Rites were actually coaxing the Queen Mother, and wanted to get a good nickname for Ding Zhihuang, who was a Qingliu cadre who was "famous all over the world", but they didn't dare to say it to the Queen Mother in person. I was afraid that it would be exposed, so I sent an official with the title of chief to come, so that he could bear it himself, but he refused to jump into this fire pit.

"Think? Hum! Then you should say, in these two numbers, is there a sense of repentance? Ding Zhihuang made Sichuan like that, what is it called 'Wenhe' when he looks back, you really dare to think about it! Empress Dowager Renxi said angrily.

"Our Lady Queen Mother is angry! In addition to these two, there are also 'Wenqing' and 'Wensi', which can also be selected......" The official of the Ministry of Rites hurriedly threw out the last two alternatives.

These two nicknames were actually coined by a few of their lower-level officials. As an alternative, those bigwigs in the Ministry of Rites only know how to be perfunctory. did not carefully figure out the queen mother's intentions, but their lower-level officials guessed that the queen mother wanted to give Ding Zhihuang a "plain confession" and repentance, so they prepared such two nicknames.

"Who came up with this nickname of 'Wen Si'?" Empress Dowager Renxi's voice was gloomy and cold.

The official of the Ministry of Rites secretly screamed in his heart, and he didn't even think about it, so he confessed to his colleagues: "Back to the words of the Queen Mother, this nickname was thought up by Feng Daoming, the director of the Ministry of Rites." ”

"Repent of the previous sins and say Si, this 'Wen Si' is good, this is it." Empress Dowager Renxi's answer surprised the officials of the Ministry of Rites.

"Yes!" He quickly bowed his head and replied.

"That Feng Daoming is doing a good job, and his brain is also good, the right waiter of the Rite Promotion Department!" Empress Dowager Renxi continued.

Hearing the Queen Mother's words, the officials of the Ministry of Rites couldn't wait to slap their two big mouths.

If he said that he came up with this nickname by himself, maybe he was the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites!

But now, it's too late to say anything......

The Ministry of Rites officials were there regretting that they had said the wrong thing, when they saw a little boy running up the bridge.

This footbridge is half a mile long, and when you reach the bridge, you are like stepping in the middle of the water, except for a narrow wooden bridge that sways under your feet, and when you look around, there is only a calm water, and the ripples are fine when the wind comes. It was only then that the officials of the Ministry of Rites noticed this rare sight. It's just that such seclusion is too deep and lonely.

"Granny West!" The little boy saw the Empress Dowager Renxi behind the curtain and shouted crisply.

"Ouch! It's Xiao Bailiang! Come here, be careful, don't fall into the water! Where's your mother? Empress Dowager Renxi hurriedly got up, got out from behind the curtain, and came to the side of the bridge.

The official of the Ministry of Rites watched in surprise as the little boy stumbled into the arms of the Empress Dowager Renxi, and stayed there for a while.

"Kneel down." Empress Dowager Renxi glanced at him lightly.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites hurriedly bowed and bowed, and the Empress Dowager Renxi hugged the little boy, smiled and took a candy and put it in the little boy's hand, never looking at him again.

Liaodong, Lushunkou.

Lin Yiqing saw that Ding Zhihuang finally got the nickname of "Wensi" from the newspaper, and learned that Ding Daqing finally became "Ding Wensi", Lin Yiqing actually wanted to laugh a few times, but because this was in the Lushunkou barracks, he didn't really laugh.

Of course, while being funny, he also understood that this was a warning to those ministers while the Empress Dowager Renxi avenged the revenge of the year!

Whoever dares to make her unhappy, she will make him unhappy for the rest of his life!

I now have an understanding of the temperament of the Empress Dowager Bingguo.

The last time he took the initiative to ask for his wife and children to be kept as hostages, it can be said that it is extremely wise!

Next, it's much easier to do your own thing......

At this time, Lin Yiqing inexplicably missed his wife and children in the palace.

It's been a year since I've seen them, and how are they doing in the palace?

"Lord Lin, the two people you want are here." Yuan Baoling's voice sounded, interrupting his thoughts.

Lin Yiqing looked back and saw two young men in military uniforms walking briskly under the leadership of Wang Shizhen.

"Bid the next paragraph Qirui! Knock on your lord! ”

"Mark Feng Guozhang, knock to see your lord!"

The two came to Lin Yiqing and knelt down to salute, but Lin Yiqing hurriedly stepped forward to support them and prevented them from kneeling.

"You don't have to be polite, please get up quickly."

After Feng Guozhang got up, he looked at Lin Yiqing in front of him, and a strange bright color flashed in his eyes.

Although he didn't understand why Lin Yiqing would summon him all the way from Baoding.

But from the first time he saw him, Feng Guozhang felt the extraordinary aura on him.

Lin Yiqing looked at the "Three Heroes of Beiyang" standing in front of him, and was in a trance for a while.

Oh, yes! The three heroes of Beiyang who were dominant in the past are now just a little young nobody, and they have become their own subordinates!

In the original historical time and space, the people of the time called Wang Shizhen, who was good at maneuvering and scheming, "the dragon of Beiyang", Duan Qirui, who was often cruel in appearance, "the tiger of Beiyang", and Feng Guozhang, who was loyal to Beiyang and good at fighting, "the dog of Beiyang". The "Three Heroes of Beiyang" can be said to be famous all over the world at that time, and they have each achieved a great feat!

Now the future of the Beiyang "Dragon Tiger Dog" has embarked on another path today!

Can you make them make a more glorious history?

And that Yuan Datou...... (To be continued......)
