Tuqing: My first love was Cixi

Chapter 121 Su Yi takes a concubine! The sky collapses and the earth breaks apart! Kill him

Su Yi publicly admitted in court that he was Qingqing's mistress. This news was completely explosive.

Not only was the entire court stunned, but the entire capital was also shocked.

The roar of the mountains is like a tsunami.

I really didn’t expect it at all.

The key is that Su Yi has just been given the opportunity to marry the Sixth Princess, so why are you trying to make her pregnant?

That is the most talented woman in Manchuria.

Suddenly, everyone's eyes were fixed on Su Yi's house.

They all stared at the palace.

How would the emperor deal with Su Yi?

................................................

In just one day, impeachment memorials were as dense as raindrops.

At the court meeting the next day, numerous officials opened fire.

Whether they were nobles of the Eight Banners or high-ranking Han officials, they all impeached Su Yi.

Your new army wants to cut off the roots of our Eight Banners, and you are our mortal enemy.

I'll kill you if you're sick.

How could you miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?

We must remove all Su Yi's official positions and take away all his power.

The emperor must take back the marriage grant and completely ruin Su Yi's future.

Everyone found this easy, because the emperor had been very angry yesterday.

however……

Today's emperor remains silent.

Not a word was spoken.

No one has taken a position on the impeachment of everyone.

This... why is this?

Even after all the impeachments, the emperor said directly: "Let's talk about the foreign barbarians forcing the treaty to be revised."

......................................................

Princess Shou'an and Princess Shouxi were also completely stunned by the news.

At this time, Princess Shou'an really had no way to save her.

She said to Princess Shouxi: "Okay, you are satisfied now. You finally don't have to marry him. Now the marriage between the two of you will definitely be ruined."

Then, she gritted her teeth and said, "This bastard really made Qingqing's belly bigger."

And there’s no news at all.

I originally thought that she liked me, so she didn't care about my age.

Unexpectedly, he actually liked women of this age, so he teased her.

You really know how to choose.

Qingqing is also a married woman, and she is the most beautiful.

And I am almost considered one of the most distinguished married women in the world.

Do you specifically pick out women like us?

Princess Shouxi said: "I admire him a little now. He can stand up at the critical moment and protect his woman from the wind and rain. Otherwise, Qingqing Gege would have to bear a lot of pressure, and even be arrested by the clan mansion."

Princess Shou'an said: "But what's the price? Losing everything? Without power, how can he and his women protect themselves?"

................................................

The next day, the emperor once again received a mountain of impeachment memorials, all of them impeaching Su Yi.

In addition, he was listening to the report from the eunuch Zenglu.

"The rumors about the Emperor had already spread and were about to intensify, but now they have been completely suppressed."

"Now the whole capital is discussing the matter between Brother Su Yi and Qingqing Gege. It is spreading everywhere."

The emperor suddenly felt a chill on his back.

A little bit close.

What if these rumors about myself really spread? What a blow to majesty that is?

Especially the rumors about Hualiu disease will really ruin his reputation.

It would be fine if it were completely false. The key is this kind of half-truth and half-false rumors, which are the most terrifying.

It seems that we need to be more restrained in the future.

"Have you found out the source of the rumors about me?" the emperor asked.

Zenglu said: "We have captured some people and are tracing their origins. But the most critical people have already escaped to the capital. We are sending troops to arrest them along the way."

The emperor knew that such matters should not be investigated with great fanfare, otherwise it would only intensify the spread of rumors.

But now facing numerous impeachment memorials, he is really under great pressure.

Su Yi blocked his sword and took the initiative to self-destruct, which certainly moved the emperor.

However, it is true that Su Yi hooked up with Qingqing.

There has to be an explanation.

At this time, a voice came from outside: "Your Majesty, brother Su Yi's book."

The emperor was stunned and said, "Is this a plea for mercy?"

"Bring it in."

After a while, the emperor got Su Yi's note.

After reading it, he was even more moved.

Because in this book, he didn't mention any of his own contributions. As for the matter of self-destructing to block the emperor's sword, he didn't mention a single word.

In the book, there is only acknowledgment of mistakes and apology.

And at the end of the excerpt, he wrote: I would like to resign from my position as cabinet scholar.

Good minister, good minister!

Knowing that I was under a lot of pressure, I came out to share my burden again.

......................................................

next day!

It's court meeting again.

Except for a few emperors, the Qing Dynasty was not so diligent at all.

Basically once every few days.

But lately there have been too many things going on, so I reappeared every day.

Even though it was a small court meeting, and those below the third rank were not allowed to attend, it was still quite tiring.

Today, Chongen went to court.

"Your Majesty, Su Yi is at home, so he entrusted me with a memorial."

"He knew that he made a mistake, so he formally resigned to the emperor as a cabinet minister."

All the civil and military officials in the court couldn't help but be stunned. Is this Su Yi so proactive?

However, you still have illusions, otherwise why would you just resign as a cabinet minister.

Then, everyone was watching the emperor's reaction.

As a result, the emperor still remained silent.

Then, Chongen said: "In addition, Su Yi entrusted me with another memorial, saying that the foreign barbarians proposed to exchange the treaty, otherwise they would meet with soldiers. They must pay attention to it and focus on negotiation and must not provoke. Otherwise, there will be war. In such a dangerous situation, there may even be a risk of the mountains and rivers being shattered."

As soon as these words came out, many people couldn't help but sneer.

Su Yi, you can't protect yourself now, why are you still concerned about Yang Yi's contract change?

Immediately, Weng Xiancun came out and said: "Your Majesty, this is a mistake for the country. The foreign barbarians are greedy. Negotiating with them is like putting out firewood with firewood. It is useless. It can only show toughness. Now the foreign warships are outside the mouth of Dagu. Please bombard the sea to scare off the foreign barbarians."

"I second the proposal!"

"I second the proposal!"

"I second the proposal!"

On this point, the emperor's thoughts were opposite to Su Yi's.

He also feels that we should be tough.

In the past ten years, the British have repeatedly threatened to use force, but how many times has it come true?

And didn’t Ye Mingchen just win a game?

He pondered for a moment and said: "Guiliang, you go to Tianjin immediately to conduct military drills and artillery drills in the waters of Dagukou."

Gui Liang, the governor of Zhili, said: "I obey the decree."

This matter has finally been settled.

Then, everyone was still waiting for the emperor's treatment of Su Yi.

However, the emperor directly announced his resignation.

............................................................

A few days later, there was a big court meeting.

Lord Chongen brought another piece of information from Su Yi.

"Please resign as the new army coach and recommend Wang Shiqing as his replacement!"

This memorial comes up.

The court was in an uproar, and the capital was in an uproar.

You, Su Yi, are really willing to give up. You really resigned from your position as the head coach of the New Army.

But Su Yi wrote clearly in the memorial.

He has no love for power. He even said during the training that he would be satisfied as long as he trains the new army. As for whether he is the coach of the new army, it doesn't matter at all.

Why do I need to be successful?

The emperor remembered that Su Yi did say this.

I thought it was just a nice word, but I didn't expect it to be sincere.

He actually resigned as the head coach of the new army.

However, the emperor still remained silent.

How could he agree?

............................................................

A few more days passed!

Su Yi once again made an excuse and asked for the title.

The emperor still remained silent.

The ministers remained silent and just stared at the emperor.

Wait for him to make a decision.

However, there is an obvious emotion brewing.

Your Majesty, Su Yi made such a big mistake. If he is not punished, how can he explain it to the world?

Tuoming'a, Weng Tongshu, just submitted a memorial to slander Su Yi.

The results of it?

He was immediately dismissed completely.

Boyan Namohu falsely claimed his merits, and was deprived of his position as the crown prince.

Why is there nothing wrong with Su Yi?

No punishment at all?

How to convince the public?

How to not make everyone feel cold?

At last!

Su Yi got another discount.

I implore the emperor to keep his engagement with Princess Shouxi because he really loves her.

If it were normal times, if he said this, he would only make people laugh.

Do you still dare to say that you admire Princess Shouxi?

Where is your face?

You've made Qingqing Gege's belly bigger.

But now, Su Yi's words carry great weight.

Because he resigned from the cabinet as bachelor, commander of the new army, and first-class viscount.

Just want to keep the engagement.

How precious are the first two official positions?

You really love beauty, not power.

However, the emperor still remained silent.

Everyone was secretly angry, Your Majesty, is your favor to Su Yi so great?

In this case, where will you put the ministers?

......................................................

During this time, Su Yi always stayed at home.

Suddenly, a girl squeezed in secretly.

It turned out to be Princess Shouxi.

"Fourth Sister couldn't come to see you, so she entrusted me to come." Princess Shouxi said: "She asked me to tell you that you will definitely lose two official positions, a title, and an engagement."

"If you don't deal with it, it will be difficult for the emperor to convince the public."

"Fourth sister said that you choose to resign your title and your engagement, leaving two official positions."

"The title is gone, but you can get it again through meritorious service."

"The engagement is gone, but we can still fight for it in the future."

Su Yi said: "What about your own opinion?"

Princess Shouxi said: "I have no opinion, I hate you the most."

Su Yi said: "Then let me tell you my opinion. I can lose my official position, my title, and my military power, but... I am absolutely unwilling to give up my engagement."

Princess Shouxi asked: "Why?"

Su Yi said: "I exchanged Yangzhou City for this engagement."

Princess Shouxi said: "Is it because of this?"

Su Yi glanced at her and wrote lightly: "I like you so much, how can I give up?"

Princess Shouxi trembled slightly when she heard this.

After a long while, she said angrily: "You know how to lie to others, do you think I will believe it?"

Then, she added: "You are messing with sister Da Qingqing's belly here, and you are seducing the fourth sister over there. How come you like me? You don't have a good face every time you see me. You obviously hate me, just like me I hate you as much."

Su Yi said: "You are still young, you don't understand."

Princess Shouxi said: "How can I understand if you don't tell me?" Su Yi said: "There are several women I want to sleep with. But there is only one woman I want to marry. The woman I want to take care of my whole life is also only one."

After hearing this, Princess Shouxi blushed and said, "You are so shameless, I'm leaving!"

Then she ran away.

......................................................

A few days later!

Good news came from the court.

After the bombardment at Dagukou, the foreign warships escaped.

Guiliang shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, the British are just paper tigers. As soon as we blasted them with heavy artillery, the people on the warship over there immediately panicked, howled like ghosts, and then fled away."

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, Congratulations to Your Majesty!"

Suddenly, the entire court was celebrating.

"Your Majesty, this Englishman is indeed fierce in appearance and angry at heart. He came in with a fierce attitude and left in a state of embarrassment."

"Your Majesty, Su Yi kept saying that he wanted to negotiate and not provoke. But what happened? He was proven wrong."

"How can such spineless ministers be able to assume such great responsibilities?"

"Your Majesty, please punish Su Yi!"

"Your Majesty, please punish Su Yi!"

"Your Majesty, he was unwilling to let Su Yi's new army bombard the British warships that day. And he also stopped it. If he had listened to what he said, wouldn't the foreign and foreign warships still be showing off their power on the Tianjin sea?"

"Your Majesty, Su Yi has harmed the country, please punish him."

At this time, the emperor finally could not bear the pressure and said: "I have made a decree to remove Su Yi from being a bachelor in the cabinet."

After a while, all the ministers bowed down.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

"Your Majesty is wise!

..........................................

Although the emperor removed Su Yi from the position of cabinet minister.

However, the Eight Banners Honorable Men and others are definitely not willing.

The most important thing is to capture Su Yi's new army.

And he wants to ruin his engagement.

As long as Su Yi's two things are removed, he will be a sick cat that has completely lost its claws and will not be afraid at all.

then……

Something happened!

Prince Fujin of Qing went to the imperial mausoleum to cry and worship, and committed suicide by bumping into the mausoleum.

Although he was rescued, his life was in critical condition.

Qingqing Gege's ex-husband, Yicai, the Duke of Feng'en Town, once again held the ancestral tablet and came outside the palace and cried loudly.

I have to come here every day, and have been here for several days in a row.

"Ancestors, open your eyes and see, our royal family members have been bullied like this!"

"Your Majesty, let me make the decision!"

He was crying and kowtowing, and his forehead was covered with blood.

Within the palace.

A group of royal family members over sixty or seventy years old knelt tremblingly in the court hall.

"The emperor makes the decision!"

"No matter what you say, Yi Cai is still a member of the royal family and Aisin Gioro. But he was bullied like this by someone with a foreign surname."

"The royal family has lost all face."

"Why is the emperor so fond of one and not the other? That Su Yi is of despicable character and hooked up with a married woman. Why isn't he severely punished? There is also the Jueluo family who does not abide by the rules of women and should be banned by the clan."

The emperor said: "Jue Luo got together with Su Yi after they reconciled."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

Your Majesty, you actually said such partial words?

An old clan member said: "Your Majesty, even if you are hooking up with Li, it is a huge scandal. There is no matchmaker's words, no marriage introduction, just being together in private and having a child. Isn't it wrong?" "

This point is indeed unjustifiable.

However, at this time Chongen stood up and shouted: "Who says there is no matchmaker's advice? Master Ruilin acted as matchmaker himself. We and I personally agreed to betroth Qingqing to Su Yi as my concubine, and we have already paid homage to him."

As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar.

Lord Chongen, are you embarrassed by what you said?

Will your daughter marry Su Yi as a concubine?

Are you so contemptuous?

"Your Majesty, Su Yi is of low character and is not worthy of marrying Princess Shouxi again. Please withdraw the engagement!"

"Your Majesty, please take back the engagement."

All the ministers present, as well as members of the royal family, knelt down one after another.

The emperor closed his eyes in slight pain.

He tried every possible means to keep Su Yi, but there were some things that he really couldn't get past.

Such as this engagement.

How to keep it?

It was revealed that Su Yi had hooked up with Qingqing before he proposed in public.

Even if Chongen tried to make amends afterwards and said that Qingqing had been betrothed to Su Yi as his concubine, it would be useless.

But I really don’t want to, I really want to save this marriage for Su Yi.

"Six hundred miles urgent!"

"Six hundred miles urgent!"

Suddenly there was a shouting outside.

After a while, a messenger rushed in.

The emperor was shocked and everyone was shocked.

Is it urgent to rush six hundred miles at this time?

Could it be the Jiangbei camp? What changes have occurred over there in the Jiangnan camp?

"Your Majesty, the British army entered Guangzhou and captured the city in less than a day!"

“The governor’s office of Guangdong and Guangxi was burned down!”

"Ye Mingchen, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, was arrested by the British."

"The British army set fire to the city of Guangzhou and continued to increase their troops and sharpen their swords to occupy the entire Guangdong Province!"

For a moment, everyone was stunned.

The emperor was trembling all over.

Aren’t there many defenders in Guangzhou?

Was it conquered by the British in just one day?

This, how terrifying is this fighting power?

However, this is just the beginning!

Immediately afterwards, there were another bursts of chanting.

"Six hundred miles to expedite, six hundred miles to expedite!"

"Your Majesty, something bad happened. Something bad happened. The British fleet appeared in the waters of Tianjin, not just one, but a dozen ships."

"Moreover, the naval guns have been raised towards us."

"The situation is extremely urgent, extremely urgent!"

The emperor was immediately furious.

Yeah!

Su Yi kept saying before that not to offend the British and not to provoke.

As a result, you insisted on provocation and bombarded the British fleet.

it's good now.

The British really used force.

In half an hour, the city of Guangzhou was breached, the governor's palace was burned, and the governors of Guangdong and Guangxi were captured.

What should we do now? what to do?

The civil and military officials present could not help but recall the memories of the Opium War more than ten years ago in their minds.

suffered a humiliating defeat.

It's so vivid.

The emperor said angrily: "Tell me, what should I do now?"

The ministers were speechless.

For more than ten years, the British have been demanding a revision of the treaty and have been threatening to use force.

As a result, no force was ever used.

Just like a wolf coming, the Qing court is no longer afraid after saying it many times.

So I think this time it must be a bluff.

Unexpectedly, Britain really used force this time, and it was so violent.

This posture looks much more ferocious than the Opium War more than ten years ago.

This is also a more fierce start than the second Opium War in history, and it can be regarded as a butterfly effect.

Because historically, the Qing court did not use heavy artillery to shoot at British warships. Although it was only a threatening shot, it completely angered the British.

As a result, the British reacted much more violently than in history.

In history, after the Yarrow incident, the British took three days to invade Guangzhou for the first time. As a result, Ye Mingchen happened to go to worship Buddha and seek blessings from Bodhisattvas and escaped.

After plundering Guangzhou City for several days, the British withdrew from Guangzhou City due to lack of troops. But Ye Mingchen actually reported victory to the emperor, saying that he had repelled the British army.

But the emperor and the court really believed it, and gave Ye Mingchen a big reward, saying that he was an example of an official, and that the British were paper tigers, continuing the previous hard line and being even tougher on the British.

As a result... not long after, the British came back, this time completely occupying the city of Guangzhou, burning the Governor's Palace of Guangdong and Guangxi, arresting Ye Mingchen, imprisoned in Calcutta, and died there.

But in this world, the situation has changed dramatically, and everything has accelerated.

Because of the Qing government's so-called tough early bombardment, the British not only dispatched troops in Hong Kong, but also recruited a large number of mercenaries to directly and decisively capture Guangzhou.

For a moment, the emperor fell into panic.

The Nian army over there has not yet been wiped out, but the counterattack is fierce and they have just broken through the Jiangnan camp.

How could the imperial court have the strength to fight the British?

Because Su Yi's assassination of Yang Xiuqing also caused changes in history.

Although the internal fighting of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is raging inside Tianjing City, the Tianjing Incident has not happened yet, and Yang Xiuqing is not dead yet.

It is precisely because of this that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's pressure on the Qing court at this time is still extremely huge.

The British are much more powerful than rebellious, and much more terrifying.

During the Opium War more than ten years ago, the British only had a few thousand troops, while the Qing government dispatched nearly 100,000 troops.

The result was a disastrous defeat.

At that time, there was no rebellion by the Nien Army in the country, and there was no rebellion yet, and everything was like this.

With the country now torn apart, how can it be possible to defeat the British?

This accident may lead to disaster.

Not only the emperor thought so, but also the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty thought so.

This group of people were so tough and provocative before.

How cowardly I am now.

At this time, Yi Cai outside was still shouting: "Open your eyes, ancestors, and see how your descendants have been bullied!"

"Your Majesty, please have mercy and let me make the decision."

"Su Yi is an adulterer and an adulterer, everyone will find her and punish her!"

At this time, the eunuch Zenglu looked towards the emperor, and the emperor frowned and said, "What's wrong?"

Eunuch Zenglu stepped forward and whispered: "Your Majesty, the source of the rumors has been found. It is a husband in the Bada Hutong. When we caught him, he was fleeing to the south."

The emperor said: "Who did he say ordered it? How did he know these secrets?"

Eunuch Zenglu said: "This man is on his way back to the capital, and he hasn't had time to interrogate him yet. But this husband is Yicai's long-term friend."

As soon as these words came out, the emperor's expression changed.

What a wonderful Yicai!

It was you who spread the news?

I call the woman outside, I have a heart disease.

You are so brave!

Looking for death, looking for death, looking for death!

Where did you know that?

The emperor's eyes were suddenly filled with murderous intent.

"Find a reason to arrest Yicai, his adoptive mother, and his whole family!"

This time, if a group of people are not killed, the emperor will never abdicate his hatred.

Zenglu whispered: "嗻!"

However, killing these people can only relieve their hatred.

It can't save the current situation.

Looking at the entire court, everyone felt like they were mourning for their heirs.

Weren’t you very eloquent just now? Didn't he yell at Su Yi to kill him?

Aren't we trying to seize his military power and dissolve his engagement?

Aren't you going to completely ruin his future?

I, the emperor, try so hard to protect him, but I can hardly do it.

With so much internal fighting, there is no way to face the foreigners, and I can't even say a word.

The emperor asked again: "My ministers, the earth is about to collapse. The foreign army has occupied Guangzhou, and the foreign fleet has arrived in Tianjin. What should we do? What should we do?"

"Didn't you have a lot of ideas before? You can even think of ways to bombard foreign and foreign warships."

"Now that the foreign army has really been summoned, what should we do?"

The ministers were silent and looked down at their shoes. Some of them were even trembling slightly. They were all at their wits' end and were afraid of being burned.

The emperor felt sad in his heart and thought of those words again in his mind.

The country is in chaos and misses good generals.

In this current situation, good generals and even good ministers are no longer of use. It takes the talents of Heaven.

Yang Yi is different from any other enemy. At this time, who else can turn the tide?

At this moment, Master Chongen said: "Your Majesty, please summon Su Yi into the palace. He may have a way to save the situation."

At this moment, the eunuch Cheng Shou rushed in and said, "Your Majesty, Brother Su Yi wants to see you!"

The emperor stood up suddenly and said: "Quick, let him come in."

......................................................

Note: This is the first update. I have been writing all night again. When will I be able to have a normal schedule? Woohoo!

Dear benefactors, will you reward me with some monthly tickets? I really need it, please.
