Chapter 850: Broken Dreams of the Qing Palace: Hongli's Fear
"No—I didn't do it!"
In the dormitory of the Heart Cultivation Palace, Hongli shouted, sat up from the bed, his heart palpitations did not stop, his face was pale, and he was sweating.
"Hooray, is it a nightmare?"
Yu Concubine Corriette also woke up, and asked while beating Hongli's back to help him calm down.
It was originally a sweet dream......
Hongli's eyes were straight, and the dream was still spinning in his head.
He dreamed that he lingered in the beautiful land of the south of the Yangtze River, leaning on the green forest, surrounded by delicious food, and beautiful women in his arms, accompanied by Confucian poetry and literature, praising himself as the first emperor of the ages.
In his dream, he is really an emperor through the ages, the Qing Dynasty is still the unification of the country, and the Southern Barbarians are like clouds of smoke, almost without a trace. The Manchurian warrior Jin Ge Iron Horse galloped outside the Saiwai and the Western Regions, conquered the mountains and rivers that the emperor Ama and the emperor's grandfather had never determined, and even climbed the snowy plateau, went deep into the barren and dense forests, and spread the banner of the Qing Dynasty on the top of heaven and earth.
This dream is as long as Huang Liang, he actually dreamed that when he was old, he remembered his life's achievements, experienced dozens of great deeds, and gave himself a mountain name, called "Ten Perfect Old Man".
Just as he was looking at the sky with his hands in his hands, thinking that he had reached the extreme of the king of God, no one in ancient and modern times could not be in time, the sky suddenly broke, and a god-like figure appeared, with red robes and white trousers, riding boots, long swords and short guns, brocade feathers erected, eyes like wind and thunder, looking at himself lightly.
"Uncle...... Uncle!? ”
He recognized it at a glance, in fact he had only seen this person once, but this side he would never forget for the rest of his life. That was ten years ago. On the coast of Tanggu, this person had his back against the Yunfan giant ship, and he looked at himself condescendingly like this, so that he had to bow his knees.
He subconsciously wanted to bow down again, but he was supported by his self-esteem as a "perfect old man". This should be a dream, a dream. Why do I deign to be restrained, uncle...... You are the Puppet Emperor! You will eventually bow down under my dragon chair......
Kankan mustered up a sense of pride, but saw the "uncle" snort coldly. Heaven and earth changed suddenly. The blue sky collapsed, the earth cracked, and the top of the mountain where he was fell into a place of fire.
"I promised you to be a peaceful emperor, but you didn't want peace, so I took over your world and knocked you down to the Nine Hells!"
The uncle's voice was like thunder, and his body and mind festered.
"No—I didn't do it!"
Hongli screamed bitterly, and then woke up.
I gasped for breath. Hongli slapped Yu Concubine's hand irritably, and then muttered in a low voice: "I didn't do it......"
Half a month ago, his "uncle" Shengdao was assassinated in Xi'an, and the assassins used the convoy of the Feitian Art Workshop as the emperor's car, using hundreds of catties of gunpowder, causing nearly 100 police officers and guards to be killed and injured. Echoing the assassination case, as many as three or four thousand anti-rebel forces lurked in the city of Xi'an, waiting for an opportunity to make a move, but fortunately they were wiped out by the Protectorate of the Western Regions.
Word spreads. The whole country was in an uproar, and various newspapers denounced the thieves and pursued the culprits behind the scenes. The background of the arrested thieves is too chaotic, there are old Qing officials and corrupt Confucians, there are people in Buddhism, Taoism, Islam and even cults, and even informants of Dzungaria and Rakshasa . And from these people to climb up, some chased Yue Zhongqi, some chased Prince Sui, some chased Concubine Chun, and some criminals confessed that he was personally planned by Emperor Qianlong Hongli, anyway, they all chased back to the Qing Dynasty.
Not only were the newspapers outraged, but the British and Chinese people also began to set off an anti-Qing wave, and the exchanges between the two countries in medical charity were suddenly suspended, and the medical groups of the Temple of Heaven and Ying Tzu Yuan returned home one after another. The bulk business exchanges between the two sides also came to an abrupt end, and the merchants of Xuzhou closed their doors, and Tanggu has not had a single Anglo-Chinese cargo ship enter the port for several days. This is not only the spontaneous action of the Nanban merchants, but also the public opinion of their own country, which does not dare to go against the will of the people at this time. ..., the obstruction of the flow of goods is not the most terrible, the Yinghua Beiyang Fleet, the red clothes in Jiangnan and Huguang have entered combat readiness, and the red clothes stationed in Xi'an Baling have advanced to Shangzhou, forcing Yue Zhongqi's troops who are still stationed here. In the north, the news of Mobei Mongolia was also transmitted from the Mongol tribes such as Horqin and Chahar, and they had received an order to prepare for war, and they could be pressed down from the north at any time and enter the Central Plains.
The Great Qing Dynasty is in danger! He, the Qianlong Emperor, may become the king of the country!
Fear made Hongli's heart ache, and at the same time, he suppressed a raging anger, it wasn't he Hongli who did it! In the past ten years, how has he ever had the right to ask about national politics!? Military affairs are in the hands of his fourteenth uncle, and internal affairs are in the hands of Zhang Tingyu and Hanchen, and his orders can't get out of the Forbidden City! No, it doesn't work in the Forbidden City! Because the concubine of Kunning Palace pressed directly on his head, making it difficult for him to sleep.
What to do? Do you summon Yinghua to make it clear in person, or do you lose first and confess your guilt and ask your uncle to be relieved?
Until he finished breakfast, Hongli was still in a panic, and he was spinning in the Heart Cultivation Palace.
"Long live the Lord, Prince Sui asks to see ......"
A young guard glanced left and right, taking advantage of the eunuch's absence, and whispered to Hongli.
"Fu Heng, if Uncle Fourteen wants to see him, just come directly, what? Don't you know what Wu Shu can do? ”
This guard is the younger brother of Fu Qing, the commander of the guards of the Qianqing Palace, a talent, outstanding knowledge, and his own brother-in-law, and he is one of the few people around Hongli who can be trusted.
Hongli is just not strong-minded, but his brain is very bright, and when he turns his mind again, he suddenly wakes up. Wu Shulai was pressed by Li Lianying, the eunuch in charge of Kunning Palace, and if he made any moves, the news would reach Kunning Palace, and Prince Sui had a heart......
At a critical juncture, it depends on Uncle Fourteen.
Hongli was slightly relieved, the sky fell and there was a high top, his emperor was in a hurry, and the fourteenth uncle was also in a hurry.
"Go to the Hall of Wisdom! Let's just say that I was there to patrol the calligraphy and paintings, and I didn't want idlers to disturb me. ”
Hongli had a plan, got rid of the eunuch, and hurriedly left with Fu Heng and other cronies and guards.
Renzhi Hall is in charge of the Imperial Prison, the royal painting room and collections are here, between the masterpieces of calligraphy and painting of the famous masters of the past dynasties, waiting here Yunyu is still difficult to calm down.
I didn't expect ......
I didn't expect Yue Zhongqi to almost succeed. I didn't expect to poke out such a big hole! I didn't expect that Concubine Chun actually had such a great power!
Yun Yu had no doubts about Concubine Chun's position at this time, she really hoped that the Holy Dao Emperor would die and the Southern Barbarian country would collapse. It's also simple to think about. It is inevitable that Concubine Chun will break with the Holy Dao, and Concubine Chun is already the lord of the Forbidden City. Holding half of the authority of the Qing Dynasty, at this point, he naturally no longer wants to be a puppet of the Holy Dao. At the mercy of the Nanban. They all thought about it before it was ridiculous. Concubine Chun is planning for the Holy Way and the Southern Barbarians in everything. Before, Concubine Chun instigated herself to do it in Xi'an, and she still had the idea of planning it, and hoped that when she was fighting between light and dark in Xi'an, she could catch Concubine Chun's handle, and even separate the relationship between Concubine Chun and the Holy Dao.
But Concubine Chun's position is clear, but it is by no means good news for him Yunyu. One mountain can't accommodate two tigers, and this woman is the lord of power, how can he be allowed to control the country's politics again?
Before, he was not very afraid of this woman, after all, this woman's forces were in the Forbidden City and the Internal Affairs Office. Wu Xiang, who served her, was also restricted by Zhang Tingyu, and he couldn't touch too much national politics, let alone interfere in military affairs.
But after the incident in Xi'an, this woman's power was exposed, making him sweat.
In Xi'an, the power he can use is Yue Zhongqi, and he knows very well how much strength Yue Zhongqi has, that is, the Ma family in Ningxia. But there were many forces in Xi'an, and several of them, such as the Rakshasa and the Galdan Tse. and even several sects of disciples, these people are not something that Yue Zhongqi can hold the line and drive. The newspapers of the Nanban even alleged that the person who did it outside the Baling was also related to the Jingshan Artillery Bureau in the capital, which was by no means his own handiwork. ..., Yue Zhongqi also wrote urgently after the change in Xi'an, saying that the situation had developed unexpectedly, and on the one hand, he regretted that there was no gain, and on the other hand, he was even more shocked that there were so many forces that planned this matter, and the background was so mixed.
By whom are these forces gathered and controlled? Of course, it can only be Concubine Chun. Before, she instigated herself to do it herself, but she basically regarded herself and Yue Zhongqi as a feint to cover up her follow-up actions.
Concubine Chun can gather so many forces in Xi'an from afar, how much power does she still have hidden in the capital?
Thinking of the mosque outside his mansion, Yun Yu felt a chill in his heart, maybe if Concubine Chun said a word, the mosque in the capital could be mobilized to work for her.
Now that Xi'an has been defeated, the Holy Dao is furious, and there will be revenge. If Concubine Chun hadn't shown such a strong strength, Yun Yu would probably have devoted herself to the country, and even had the heart to push Concubine Chun out as a sin sheep, after all, she was in charge of military affairs, and her ass was as stable as Mount Tai.
But now that the two are fighting each other, Yun Yu suddenly feels that he has become the weaker side, and he no longer has full trust in the army he controls. In such a situation, who will be the guilty sheep? That Chun Taifei Ru Xi is not a stupid person, throwing him out as a sin sheep, not only can calm the heart of the Holy Dao, but also fulfill her ambition to hold power alone.
It has reached the moment of life and death, Yun Yu mustered up Yu Yong, and could only fight again.
The top priority is to obtain the emperor's approval, and Yunyu doesn't want the Qing Dynasty to have another Guangxu Restoration.
"Uncle Fourteen, what's the matter!?"
Footsteps sounded, and then Hongli's words interrupted Yun Yu's miscellaneous thoughts, seeing that Hongli was in a hurry, there were only Fu Heng and other guards around him, Yun Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, Fu Qing Fu Heng and others were still on their side after all, dissatisfied with the Hanchen faction and the concubine faction controlling the state affairs, making it difficult for Hongli to become a veritable emperor.
The way out lies in this Taiping Emperor......
"Your Majesty, I'm Qing Dynasty...... Jeopardy! ”
Yun Yu held great expectations and spoke in a deep voice.
From the division of authority to the discrepancy of national politics, from the discouragement of the people's hearts to the disunity of the chicken, Yun Yu changed his attitude of smearing the past, pointed directly to the malpractices of the national government, and even bluntly said that Ru Xi was a scourge of the Qing Dynasty.
The more Hongli listened, the more chaotic his face became, and the last petal of iron blue and the other petal were bright red.
"Your Majesty, if you don't get rid of this woman, the Qing Dynasty will die in the country!"
Yun Yu simply knelt down and kowtowed.
"Uncle Fourteen...... I can have the fourteenth uncle to assist, it is really the blessing of the emperor's grandfather and the emperor's Ama in the heavens. ”
I don't know how much my heart is tormented, Hongli is even more tearful, kneeling down to support Yunyu.
"Why don't I want to...... Why don't you want to...... It's a pity ......"
Hongli was crying like this in his heart, but unfortunately, he had no heart.
If it was eight years ago, even if Ru Xi added the identity of the north-south bridge, he would not be afraid.
But after that night, he had to be afraid.
I remember that night, he recruited the Lu family who had just entered the Fengqing concubine to serve in bed, the candlelight was dim, and the eunuch came to the table, he didn't have time to take a closer look, he was obsessed with the slender one, and at the same time felt slightly surprised, when the Lu family, who had not been favored for a long time, was so rich and delicious, like a ripe jade fruit. But the accident was quickly overwhelmed by Shu Shuang, and that night, he didn't rely on the divine oil he bought from Nanban, so he fought and killed Wutong alive, and slept until the palace reported the noon clock before waking up.
At that time, he was very surprised, at this hour, how could the eunuch have called a few times, but no one squeaked?
The beautiful woman on her side hugged her jade arm and called out in a coquettish voice, "Long live the Lord...... Just get some more sleep. ”
Hongli remembered his reaction at that time, and he felt that every hair on his body exploded, and his soul seemed to fly out of his head. Turning his head with difficulty, he saw a woman with a forehead, wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, and high cheekbones, leaving only a trace of her former charm.
"Too, too, too ......"..., at that time, Hongli's tongue was knotted, and he couldn't say anything at all.
"I'm already so close to Long Live Lord, do you still want to call me a concubine? Call me by name...... It's good to be happy. ”
The woman snorted, Hongli groaned, and fell back on the bed, wishing not to wake up.
Pushing away the unbearable past in his mind, Hongli said to Yunyu with tears: "She has secretly controlled the entire Forbidden City, and even my queen has been forced out of Kunning Palace, what can I do with her?" ”
Yun Yu took a deep breath and said in his ear: "It depends on whether the emperor has the great determination to eliminate this evil, as long as the emperor has a heart, the ministers and other loyal and brave people will definitely die for the emperor!" ”
Kill Ruxi!?
Maybe she already knows that I'm here to meet Uncle Fourteen, and maybe there are some of her people among the guards around her. If I promise, it's okay to say that I can kill it, but what if I can't kill it? If I can't kill her, I just shake out the dirty things with me, and it will be difficult for me to be the emperor anymore.
Fourteenth uncle, you still don't know how ruthless she is, the queen can be driven out of Kunning Palace by her, and the other concubines are not taken seriously by her. , many of my concubines have been poisoned by her. Su Jia's family followed when she was in the palace, and when she got the prince in four years, she was named a pure concubine without thinking about it, but unexpectedly, Na Ruxi felt that this name was in conflict with her Concubine Chun, and it was I who had a heart to target her, and as a result, both mother and son died of illness. I can't find it in the palace, but I know very well that she did it!
The one in the world who wants to kill her the most is me! But the one who knows her best is also me......
Hongli's mind flashed with the thoughts of light and dark over and over again, and he opened his mouth, but it was difficult to spit out the word "good". (To be continued.)
