January 4, 1904, Jingshi, Chongwenmen East Street, High Military Court of Zhili Military Region.

The main building of the courthouse is a light gray ancient Roman-style building, with nine stone steps, six columns at the top of the tree, and a golden dragon coiled on the top of the triangular forehead.

Behind the main building is a small three-storey dark gray masonry building, connected to the main building by an enclosed corridor.

The small building has no normal windows, but there are many small grilles in the wall, and the small building is surrounded by a ring of tall brick walls, and the top of the wall is connected to the wire fence, and there is a watchtower at each corner of the wall, on which are standing bailiffs with rifles at all times.

Prisoners arrested by the High Military Court are sent to the building, known as the "Detention Center," where they remain until their sentence is pronounced.

Since the military's highest-level ministries and commissions are all within the jurisdiction of the High Military Court of the Zhili Military Region, this monotonous detention center is sometimes filled with bigwigs from the central high-level military departments.

At nearly four o'clock that afternoon, three black "Wang Hu" cars with license plates starting with "Jingshu Z" drove up to the front of the courthouse, and at the same time, a group of mounted policemen drove in, totaling 30 or 40 people, and after dismounting, they stood in a line in front of the gate of the court.

Ordinary pedestrians who see this scene are not too ignorant, and often sigh in their hearts: "Damn, I don't know which big man is coming, Niu B." ”

The court cleaner who saw this scene made a bitter face: "It's over, just cleaning up the horse manure will be enough for me to bear." ”

The president of the court, who saw this scene from the floor-to-ceiling window of the president's office, hurriedly ran downstairs to the main hall to greet the big man.

Surrounded by several tall young men in black suits, a man in a dark suit, a light-colored windbreaker, a wide-brimmed top hat and wide sunglasses walked into the main hall, and the dean respectfully greeted him: "May I ask ......?"

The man handed the dean a note and said in a low voice: "I am sent by the Minister of Defense, this is a warrant from the Minister of Defense, please arrange for me to meet with Admiral Wu Dingguo in custody alone." ”

The dean took the note, glanced at it, bowed his head and said, "Since it is an order from the military minister, I will arrange it immediately, please come to my office and wait...... Xiao Cai, come and greet a few people to my office! ”

A quarter of an hour later, in a secret room on the side of the corridor leading to the detention center at the back of the main building, a mysterious man sent by the Minister of National Defense met with Major General Wu Dingguo, the former head of the Logistics Department of the General Staff.

Wu Dingguo, known as the "0.12-ton person", was shy and big-bellied, wearing a large dark gray prisoner's cotton coat, and as soon as he saw the man, he shouted affectionately: "It turned out to be Lao Yang, it was our boss who sent you, is there any good news this time?" How long will it take for me to get out? ”

"Don't worry, it won't be too long, Wu Weigong has always taken you to heart."

The man said, taking off his sunglasses and top hat, and the face of the current chief of the General Staff, General Yang Zhengjin, was clearly revealed.

Wu Dingguo grabbed the iron fence in front of him and shouted a little impatiently: "I said the same thing last time, what is the progress of the matter, what are you going to tell me clearly, the lawyer assigned to me by the court is useless, the court has held several times, and the procuratorate has come up with more and more powerful evidence, if it continues like this, it is not a death penalty but also a life imprisonment!" ”

Yang Zhengjin propped his elbows on the table, put his hands together in front of his chin, and a slightly mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "I knew this was the case, why bother in the first place?" Others are satisfied with tens of thousands of yuan in dividends from land companies every year, but you have to enjoy all the riches in the world, accept bribes from construction companies when bidding for military projects, eat the benefits of food companies when selecting military dry food manufacturers, and don't forget to take kickbacks even when wholesale military toilet paper, you are really hopeless, according to the evidence that the prosecution has now, there are a total of 1 million, if no one helps, it is natural to be shot. Seriously, I'm also interested, how much money did you make? Million? Ten million?. ”

Wu Dingguo pounded the table in front of him angrily: "Lao Yang, don't add fuel to the fire, how much power do I have, can I swallow 10 million?" It's only three million...... Damn, I don't know how to do it, those companies that gave me money actually sold me, why is there no crime of bribery in the law here? If there is a crime of bribery like ours, I see which company dares to betray me casually, hmph, I will die together! ”

"Actually, in our country, it's just a Chinese family that has been convicted of bribery, which is also one of the benefits for officials...... Don't talk about this...... Recently, I talked to Han Lang, who is in charge of finance, and he estimated that one dollar here is equivalent to almost two hundred yuan in our era, that is to say, you are equivalent to a billionaire in our era. ”

Wu Dingguo anxiously waved his hands that were locked in handcuffs: "What a billionaire, Lao Tzu is dying, you tell me, how does Wu Weigong plan to save me!" ”

Yang Zhengjin shrugged his shoulders, took out a box of golden Hademen cigarettes from his pocket, took out one and handed it to Wu Dingguo's mouth: "Brother, don't worry, how can you say that you are also one of the founding fathers, how can Wu Weigong leave you alone, smoke a cigarette first, go to the fire, it's not good for your health to always hum so angrily." ”

Wu Dingguo twisted his head: "Don't come to this set, you have to make it clear to me today, otherwise if it goes on like this, I will have to tell some things to those who talk a lot." ”

Yang Zhengjin put the cigarette to his mouth, lit it, and spit out a cloudy cloud of smoke to Wu Dingguo's bloated face: "What do you want to say to whom?" ”

Wu Dingguo bit his lip and smiled gloomily: "If I find a reporter and tell them about the time machine......"

Yang Zhengjin raised his head, took a cigarette in his mouth, and smiled coldly at the gloomy ceiling: "Then you will spend the next life in a mental hospital, there, no matter how normal you are, you will eventually become a real psychopath, haluha, in that case, I will not be interested in visiting you......"

Wu Dingguo's face was panicked, and he immediately changed to a pleading tone: "Old Yang, don't be like this, tell me, what should I do?" I've abandoned all those who follow Wuwei Gong to fight the world, how can it be over like this? ”

Yang Zhengjin pinched the cigarette holder with his index finger and thumb, and his sharp gaze shot like a bullet into Wu Dingguo's obscene, embarrassed, frightened, and filthy eyeballs.

"Do you know who you used to be? Why are we here? If you just want to do this, you can stay on that plane and go to camp, isn't there still a perk like bribery? You think you have merit, and the people around you don't dare to touch you because you are Liu Yun's cronies, so you can do anything wrong? Until now, you still haven't reflected at all, but blamed the companies that sent you money, like you, it's better to die cleanly! ”

The muscles on Wu Dingguo's face trembled, and the hands in the handcuffs trembled and raised: "Old Yang...... Be...... It's me who was wrong, I'm sorry for Wu Weigong, I will change, I will change it in the future, please, please tell Wu Weigong, you must save my life, I ...... I don't want anything, as long as he lets me go and lets me live......"

Yang Zhengjin took another puff of cigarette, spit out the smoke ring, and his voice softened, returning to the tone that made people doze off when he was making a report in the base camp: "At that time, I really looked away, but I didn't find out that you are such a lowly person, speaking of which, Ding Jieyun They are tens of thousands of times stronger than you, at least they died for their ideals, but you died for a few stinky money." ”

Wu Dingguo, who heard this, didn't feel sleepy, he crooked his mouth, tears and snot lingered in their respective bases: "Lao Yang, for the sake of our friends for many years, you save me, I ...... I have deposited a million in several foreign banks in Shanghai, I have hidden the passbook, I am the only one who knows the place, as long as I can leave a small life, all this money belongs to you and Wu Weigong, you tell Wu Weigong, what else he wants, as long as I can do it......"

Yang Zhengjin lowered his voice: "Is there really a million passbooks?" ”

"How dare I lie to you, I am hiding very hidden, and those fools in the procuratorate will not be able to find it in another thousand years."

Yang Zhengjin threw away the remaining half of the cigarette butt, put his hand on the table, and motioned for Wu Dingguo to lean his head over, and Wu Dingguo obediently put his ear next to the iron fence.

"Hand over the million, and then you obediently do what the court appoints a lawyer, even if you are sentenced to death by the court, Wu Weigong will find a way to keep you alive, such as secretly sending you abroad, and then throwing you 20,000 pounds to live, after all, it will not make your life too hard...... Do you get the idea? ”

Wu Dingguo looked at Yang Zhengjin hesitantly: "This ...... Will it work? ”

As soon as Yang Zhengjin raised his head, he got up and was about to leave.

Wu Dingguo slapped the fence in panic: "Don't, don't go!" Lao Yang, I know the truth, I'll tell you, I'll tell you everything......"

"That's the smart man......"

Two hours later, Yang Zhengjin, who had changed into a general's uniform, came to the Duke of Wuwei's mansion in a "Wang Hu" car, and the butler who was waiting outside the door greeted him with a smile and opened the door for him: "It's Your Excellency the Chief of General Staff, my lord has been waiting for a long time, please come with me." ”

The butler led Yang Zhengjin past several Chinese-style houses to a three-story garden-style bungalow with a swimming pool, a landmark of the Duke's Palace, which is said to have been designed by French engineers who had designed the Zhongnanhai Royal Palace.

When I entered the hall of the bungalow, a servant dressed in a Western waiter's uniform with a long hem was setting up the table and preparing dinner.

Yang Zhengjin asked casually, "Why don't you see the Duchess, the young master, and the young lady?" ”

The housekeeper replied respectfully: "The young master and the young ladies are going to participate in the academy's after-school activities today, and they won't be able to come back until later, and the Duchess seems to be in the bedroom...... Please go this way......"

The housekeeper led Yang Zhengjin to Liu Yun's study, the door was open, and the housekeeper asked Yang Zhengjin to push the door in by himself.

"This is what my lord ordered."

The butler said, smiling and retreating.

Yang Zhengjin pushed open the door and saw Liu Yunzheng standing in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window with his hands behind his back, wearing a navy blue marshal uniform, with his bare head and his back slightly bent forward.

"He's gone, what about me?"

Yang Zhengjin suddenly felt that these words passed in front of him, and he also seemed to hear someone saying this, but he was not sure that this was his true thoughts.

Liu Yun heard the footsteps, turned around, raised his hand and motioned for Yang Zhengjin to sit down: "You are here, how are things going?" ”

"Wu Dingguo really has a huge amount of money in a foreign bank, he himself said that there is a million, I told him as you instructed, you can let him live, he told me where the passbook was hidden, I have already instructed my subordinates to look for it, and they will report me as soon as they find it."

"Very good, did this kid say how much money he received from people in total?"

"Three million."

Liu Yun snorted fiercely from his nose, shook his head and said, "I really didn't expect that he would make it so big and swallow half of the Ruizi battleship." ”

"So, do you really want to let him live as promised?"

"How is it possible, according to the current situation, no one can save him, and the evidence that the procuratorate has now is enough to make him die a hundred times. The crux of the matter is that Wu Dingguo is really an unpardonable crime......"

Yang Zhengjin suddenly interrupted Liu Yun very seriously: "I don't think that's the key to the problem?" ”

Liu Yunleng paused: "Oh? ”

"I think the reason why Wu Dingguo can get so bad is related to your connivance."

Liu Yun narrowed his eyes and stared at Yang Zhengjin in a little surprise, Yang Zhengjin did not show any timid look, still said with a tense face: "As far as I know, as early as two years ago, the Zhili Military Procuratorate began to investigate Wu Dingguo, but because you put pressure on him through Liu Bailiang, the commander of the Zhili Military Region at the time, and Wu Fengtian, the president of the Supreme Military Procuratorate, the investigation could not be completed. It's not a big deal to be a little greedy within the normal range, but it is your cover that has made you such a big rat now! ”

Liu Yun clasped his hands and nodded: "You're right, I did make mistakes in the matter of Wudingguo......

"Now, then, it's time to make amends."

"You mean...... Close the stable door after the horse has bolted? ”

Yang Zhengjin raised his head, at this time, his voice was sonorous and powerful, which was completely different from the sleepy tone of the usual base camp speech, not only the voice, but his usual expression of mediocrity and peace, stability and generosity had long since disappeared, and was replaced by a look full of excited, fearless, and persistent elements that made Liu Yun's heart suddenly move.

"There should be no 'normal range' at all, and everyone's ill-gotten income must be completely ended, and in the future, no matter whether the amount of those ill-gotten income is a penny or three million, it must be severely punished! Of course, before that, we must first convene everyone to issue a warning, take Wu Dingguo as an example to make an example, and then help everyone wipe off the traces of the past within three or five months, and then let go of the hands and feet of the military procuratorial organs, and bring the military procuratorate under the leadership of the Supreme Procuratorate of the Empire, and at the same time, bring the military courts under the leadership of the Supreme Court of the Empire and the Congress, complete the independence of the judiciary within the military, and from then on block the channels of corruption within the military from the system. As for the problem of insufficient communication expenses, it can be achieved through legal means, such as revising the knighthood system, providing more annuities for military merit titles, and then manipulating the idiot emperor to give everyone a knighthood, and you can also use the method of royal rewards, taking money and land from the emperor to share the reward, it is said that the annual income of the royal family is not less than 20 million, and the total value of movable and immovable property other than the palace and the Summer Palace is almost 500 million yuan, so it is also appropriate to let them pluck some hair......

Liu Yun smiled happily, approached Yang Zhengjin, and patted him on the shoulder: "You are not only my arm, but also a part of my brain, you are right, corruption is corruption, greed for a penny is also greed, greed for three million is also greed, I used to see the problem too simply, thinking that it would be no problem to set an upper limit and then be monitored by the Eagle Wolf Team, but it was my fault that I raised a big scum like Wu Dingguo." In the future, if I want to lead the party to run for the position of prime minister, I will not be able to be seized by others to make a bad reputation...... Well, it's up to you. The command of the Eagle Wolf Team will be handed over to you for the time being, let the Eagle Wolf Team concentrate on investigating the old generals to see what illegal acts they have, and after bringing together the investigation situation, if there is no more giant corrupt officials such as Wu Dingguo, send a confidant to convey the meaning you just said, and then ask them to cooperate in the work of removing traces. After the end of this war, we will take the opportunity of rewarding meritorious deeds to naturally make up for the gap legally, and this point must also be told to everyone, so as to calm people's hearts. ”

Yang Zhengjin nodded happily, in his heart, Liu Yun's image as an enlightened leader has never been extinguished, although from time to time, this image will be distorted and blurred by all kinds of doubts, but as long as Liu Yun's body occasionally bursts out of a little flash, the image mixed with worship and belief will be clear and transparent again like a glass that erases the frost.

"So, what about Wu Dingguo's one million deposits? Do you want to hand it over to the prosecutor's office? ”

"No, if the prosecution uses this as evidence, Wu Dingguo thinks that we betrayed him, and his mood may be very unstable, I don't know what will happen to Lu Dao, or let him honestly wait for death with the idea that we will save him. As for the million, I will donate it as an anonymous donor to the Relief Society for the Bereaved Families of the Fallen Soldiers, which is very transparent, and I am more relieved. ”

"Yes, when the passbook is found, I will send someone to transfer the money to the account of the Bereaved Families Relief Association, and then I will go to the detention center and tell Wu Dingguo that you agree to help him live, so that he can happily wait for death."

"That's it."

At this time, Yang Zhengjin saw that it was getting late outside the window, so he was about to say goodbye, but Liu Yun grabbed him and asked him to go to dinner together.

"It's been a long time since I've come to my house for dinner, although I haven't prepared a special banquet, it's not a problem to add a pair of dishes and chopsticks, and besides, I have something to tell you after dinner."

"Yes, it's better to be respectful than to obey."

When the two came to the hall, dinner had already been prepared, Liu Yun's eldest son Liu Ping and second daughter Liu Yuchun were playing around the dining table, and the third son Liu Fan was sitting at the table with a drooping face.

As soon as he saw Yang Zhengjin, Liu Ping came over generously and bowed and greeted: "Hello Uncle Yang, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

The naughty Liu Yuchun jumped over in three steps and two jumps, pinched the skirt corners of the student's hundred-folded skirt with both hands, bent his legs forward, and saluted Yang Zhengjin like a dancer taking a curtain call: "Hello Uncle Yang!" ”

Liu Fan just glanced at him coldly and didn't say anything.

Liu Yun glared at Liu Fan unhappily, turned his head and asked the housekeeper beside him, "What about Madame?" ”

"Madame just said, come down right away......"

Before the butler could finish speaking, the Duchess's beautiful voice came from the stairs: "Sorry, I'm late, I just packed some things in the bedroom......"

The Duchess is only in her early thirties, still beautiful, wearing a light blue dress on this day, holding a fashionable high bun, and only wearing a simple pearl necklace.

"As I said a long time ago, let the maid do that kind of thing......

Liu Yun said, stepped forward to take his wife's hand, and gracefully took her into the seat, the two smiled at each other frequently, and the affection was lingering, which only made Yang Zhengjin shout in his heart: "Heroes are matched with beauties, but that's it, but that's it!" ”

Although the house is French-style and the dining table was bought from Paris through a French foreign company, the table is filled with Chinese dishes made of Jingdezhen porcelain.

Although it is a duke's house, there are no too strict rules when eating, which can be seen by Liu Yuchun's performance at the dinner table.

Liu Yuchun is like a happy little rabbit, twisting his head around, teasing his brother for a while, whispering in his father's ear for a while, and introducing the dishes on the table to Yang Zhengjin for a while, and he is very busy.

Liu Ping also talked about all kinds of anecdotes inside and outside the school while eating, and as he talked, he talked about sensitive issues: "...... Today, I heard Senator Fan's son say that some time ago, some people in Shanghai and Guangzhou were paraded in the streets to protest against his father's appointment as prime minister, and those people in Shanghai who were paraded in the streets fought with those who supported his father, and many people were killed and injured......

Hearing this, Yang Zhengjin looked at Liu Yun a little worriedly, but Liu Yun smiled and pointed at Liu Ping with chopsticks: "So, Ping'er, do you think your father is suitable to be the prime minister?" ”

Liu Yuchun hurriedly replied: "Of course it's suitable." ”

Liu Ping glanced at his sister obliquely: "Cut, I didn't ask you again." ”

Liu Yuchun immediately puffed out his cheeks: "Father, my brother bullied me!" ”

"Hey, this is bullying you, it's really unreasonable!"

"If you don't let me speak, it's not bullying me, father, you give a review, and mother, you also give a review......"

The Duchess shook her head with a wry smile, nodded to Yang Zhengjin and said, "Let you see the smile, these two living treasures of my family are making trouble every day, there is really no way to ......"

Yang Zhengjin said with a smile: "Children, only when you keep making noise can you be considered energetic." ”

"That's what I thought, too, when I was so big, I couldn't tear down the house a hundred times a day."

Liu Yun pinched the stubble on his chin and said with a smile, but when he glanced at Liu Fan, who was sitting quietly in a corner, just chewing slowly, the smile evaporated instantly.

Dinner time passed quietly in the burst of laughter detonated by the two siblings, Liu Ping and Liu Yuchun, the duchess had to visit the widow's house of Zhu Tao, the former chief of operations of the General Staff who had just been crowned baroness a few days earlier, and Liu Ping and Liu Yuchun, the two siblings, also went with their mother to play with their close friends, Zhu Liefeng and Zhu Xin.

"Are you going to fight Brother Gale today? It's too boring, why don't you come to Sister Xin's room, let's play house together......"

"Manly man, how can I play childish play with you, boring."

"My brother is a bad guy and bullied me again......"

The brother and sister ran away in a fight.

Liu Fan was the first to put down his chopsticks, and walked to his room silently, without greeting anyone present, usually Liu Yun would stop him and reprimand him severely, but today he ignored him because he still had something to talk to Yang Zhengjin.

Liu Yun and Yang Zhengjin returned to the study, Liu Yun closed the door, turned to Yang Zhengjin and said, "Recently, I am going to go out of Beijing." ”

Yang Zhengjin was taken aback: "What? Where are you going? ”

"I plan to inspect the front line and spend the Spring Festival with the officers and soldiers on the front line."

"This ...... How can there be any reason for the prime minister to inspect the front line, and what will happen to the headquarters and cabinet after you leave? ”

"I have already thought about it, after I leave Beijing, Zhang Zhigao will temporarily act as the prime minister and preside over the cabinet work, and the base camp will be nominally presided over by him, and the actual work will depend on you."

Yang Zhengjin still shook his head again and again: "I always feel that this is inappropriate, in fact, you don't have to go to the front line in person, send more condolences, just ask Zhong Xiahuo and Liu Bailiang to run more to the front line, it's so cold over there, and there are enemy residents everywhere, fish and dragons are mixed, in case there is a ...... of three long and two short"

"You don't have to worry about this, this time out of Beijing, I will take the tiger and leopard battalion with me, and no one can touch half of my hair."

Yang Zhengjin knew that the Haw Par Battalion was Liu Yun's private special forces, and this unit eats millions of yuan every year from the "VIP protection" program in the national defense budget, but Yang Zhengjin knew no more detailed information about this mysterious force such as personnel, equipment, history, and combat effectiveness than any beggar on the street.

"Xiao Yang, you don't have to worry, in fact, in addition to boosting the morale of the officers and soldiers, I also need to go to the front line to walk more, see more, and understand the real situation of this war in person, so that I can have a bottom of the next war. How's that, do you have confidence in hosting the base camp work? ”

Yang Zhengjin was once again moved by the occasional flash of the enlightened leader who was deeply rooted in the cerebral cortex, and excitedly raised his hand to his forehead: "Yes, I promise to complete the task!" ”

On 7 January, major newspapers reported on their front pages that Liu Yun, Duke of Wuwei, would be going to the front line to inspect and spend the Spring Festival with the officers and men on the front line, and the "imperial decree" of Emperor Guangxing's reappointment of Zhang Zhigao as acting prime minister was placed on the front page of most newspapers with two, three, or even second pages.

Most people don't care about the favoritism of the major newspapers, but in the inner city of Beijing, a group of idle people can't help but get angry when they see the newspapers, and then gather together to point fingers at the heavens and the earth.

These people have a lot in common, but the one they are most proud of is their surname.

They all have the surname "Aixin Jueluo", which is the descendant of the Qing Dynasty Taizu Nurhachi, and the clan relatives of the current Guangxing Emperor.

That night, this group of people gathered in the mansion of the emperor's younger brother, Prince Zaifeng, dressed in a long shirt and horse coat and melon skin hat, and one by one they were indignant, drinking and cursing.

"Those untouchables don't take the emperor in their eyes at all, it's really hateful!"

Prince Zhuang, who has a gray beard, is not small.

"Liu Yun, that traitor, is basically the reincarnation of Sima Zhao, and he will inevitably usurp the throne of my Aixin Jueluo family, and one day he will be cleaned up!"

Duanjun Wang Zaiyi, who was in his early forties, gritted his teeth.

"Damn it! Damn it! Liu Yun should be killed! Zhang Zhigao should be killed! Wen Yi should be killed! Sun Wen should be killed! Kang Youwei should be killed! Tan Sitong should be killed! The Han people should be killed! ”

Baylor, who is less than twenty years old, is strong in blood. Zaixun was originally the sixth son of the old alcohol prince Yizhen (the original word is next to the words), that is, the sixth brother of the current Guangxing Emperor Zai Tian (the original word plus three points of water), at the age of sixteen, he succeeded to Ruijun Wang Yizhi (the original word plus the word next to the words) as the heir, attacked Baylor, moved out of the alcohol prince's mansion in Houhai, and lived in the magnificent Xun Beile Mansion between Huaili Hutong and Beiyin Hutong in Xidan Ganshiqiao.

Zaitao, who is also the emperor's younger brother, is the seventh in line, and he is quite disapproving of Zai Xun's mouthful of "killing, killing, killing": "The Han people should be killed, who will kill them?" Does the sixth brother want to do it himself? ”

Zaixun glanced at him unhappily: "Kid who doesn't have the guts, I'm too lazy to tell you." ”

Zaitao smiled coldly: "The sixth brother has the courage, how many years have he screamed, but the people who should be killed are all living well." ”

Zaixun played a scoundrel with his younger brother: "How can you kid help the Han people speak!" ”

The fifth brother of the two, Zaifeng, roared impatiently: "What are you two arguing about, the royal family is already so unbearable, you still have to fight among themselves, what kind of system do you become!" ”

Hearing Zaifeng say that "the royal family is so unbearable", the older relatives couldn't help but burst into tears.

Prince Qing Zaizhen said with a gloomy face: "I heard that the emperor has been in poor health recently. ”

Duanjun Wang Zaiyi nodded and said: "The emperor is already in his thirties, he still has no heirs under his knees, and he is often sick, so it is better to establish the crown prince as soon as possible, so that everyone can rest assured." ”

Prince Zhuang Zaixun stroked his gray beard, shook his head and said, "The question is who is more suitable to be the prince?" If you talk about the order of succession, Pu Lun, the king of Fujun, should be the first successor, and after Mu Zong's death, he should be established as the new monarch, but the queen mother thought he was a stepson at that time and did not agree. Then down is Prince Gong Pu Wei. Both of them are in the prime of life and should be able to continue the royal throne smoothly. ”

It turned out that Pu Lun was the eldest son of Xuanzong (Emperor Daoguang), Yihui (next to the original word plus words), that is, he was not a direct relative of the royal family in blood. Mu Zong (Tongzhi Emperor) died of illness in 1876, no heirs after his death, at that time there was Lao Gong Prince Yi Jin (next to the original word plus words) proposed that Pu Lun should succeed to the throne, but was rejected by the ruling Empress Dowager Cixu on the grounds that the blood level was a little farther, Ci Xi then proposed that the son of Prince Yi Yi of Alcohol be the emperor, Prince Alcohol is the seventh son of Emperor Daoguang, and his Fu Jin (wife of the main room) is Ci Xi's sister, so Zai Tian is both Ci Xi's nephew and her nephew, the so-called kiss and kiss. At that time, Cixu also had another consideration, according to the rules of the imperial family, if Pu Lun, who was a generation lower than the Tongzhi Emperor Zaichun, was the successor, Pu Lun would be succeeded to the Daxing (that is, the late meaning) emperor as the heir, and the queen Aguru would become the queen mother, with the right to listen to the government, and Cixu would stand aside at that time. On the contrary, Zai Tian will be established as his successor, because he is of the same generation as Emperor Daxing, Cixi can continue to be her queen mother, listen to the government, and play with the power of the country.

Now Cixi has been dead for thirteen years, and his body has long been turned into a pile of white bones in Tanglin, and the famous Prince Yi Jin and Prince Yi Jin of Lao Gong also died suddenly shortly after the palace coup thirteen years ago.

In the past 13 years, the Restoration has changed the law, set up a cabinet, cut braids and changed clothes, merged the Manchu and Han streams, changed the Qing Dynasty to China, and convened the National Assembly...... The Manchurian aristocracy was shaken, shocked, angry, and shocked again and again, and at first some people dared to openly resist, but the bullets of the new army and the sticks of the police soon made them understand what the "new order" was, depriving them of their titles, confiscating their property, imprisonment for life, beheading and abandoning their bodies, after the initial horror, most of the remaining people were honest, helpless, bored, and began to be idle, began to spend the world of flowers, and began to be drunk and dreamed of death.

However, those who are obsessed with the past do not end there, they are attracted by the power of the autocratic dynasty, driven by the conceit of the princes and nobles, and the descendants of these Aisin Jueluo families do not think that their time is over.

At this time, when he heard Prince Zhuang Zaixun mention the order of the prince, Zaixun sneered: "If the usurper has not been removed, what is the use of establishing the prince?" Do you want to be the king of the dead country? ”

Zaitao said coldly: "Sixth brother said it well, please ask the sixth brother to execute the rebel who tried to usurp the throne, I want to see who will drop his head at Zhushikou at that time." ”

Jae-xun threw down the cup angrily: "Don't provoke me, you kid, you really think I can't do it?" Tell you, Lao Tzu is planning this matter every day, damn, I had planned to kill him at the first hundred official congratulatory ceremony at the first month of the first month, but I didn't expect him to go to the front line for the Spring Festival, fuck, let him escape! ”

Everyone was shocked, and Zaifeng hurriedly covered Zai Xun's mouth: "Sixth brother, what nonsense are you talking about, are you tired of living?" ”

Zaixun pushed his brother's hand away: "You people are so cowardly and afraid, so they were robbed of the power of the court by the lowly Han people like Liu Yunzhi, you don't understand at all, the current emperor is under house arrest by these people, they are the big villains who hold the Son of Heaven hostage to play with the government, the big criminals, everyone will be punished!" ”

Duanjun Wang Zaiyi patted the wine table and said, "Xun Beile said it well! It is our greed for life and fear of death that we have today's momentum, what Manchu and Han confluence, what Chinese Empire, all bullshit, we are the descendants of Taizu Nurhachi, how can we see that the Manchu and Qing dynasties were taken away by those lowly Han people! Even if you fight to the death, you will also take back the Manchu Qing Dynasty! ”

Several young relatives became excited, and also jumped out and shouted in agreement.

Zaitao pulled Zaifeng, shook his head and lamented: "Fifth brother, look at these people, they don't know the general trend at all, when today, there is no foundation for the Aixin Jueluo family, if we keep to ourselves, we can still survive, continue the unification, and make trouble like them, when the wind is together, I am afraid that there will not be even a leaf left." ”

Zaifeng also lowered his head and sighed: "The destiny is like this, it's difficult, I, people are weak, how much can they listen to my words?" ”

The roar of the clamor lingered in the courtyard of the Alcohol King's Mansion for a long time, and the faint lamentations mixed in it did not attract the attention of even a single ant.
