Tuqing: My first love was Cixi

Chapter 173 Shocking! Borrow Su Yi!

After hearing Su Yi's answer, the emperor couldn't help but be stunned.

Because the answer was so smooth, there was no hesitation.

Su Yi said: "Your Majesty, I have handed over all the government and military affairs of Jiangxi to Hu Linyi, and concentrated on building these factories. That's because only I can understand this thing, and no one else can understand it."

"But how could I spend all my time in these factories? Probably..."

Su Yi thought about it and said: "In three years, at most three years, I will hand over all these factories."

"I have calculated that within three years, these factories have been on the right track. Moreover, all the more than ten million taels of silver owed have been paid back. Even these factories have turned into behemoths, with annual production of Stably earn millions or even tens of millions of taels for the court."

"At that time, I will completely let go and hand him over completely to the court and the emperor."

"So the emperor had better start looking for candidates and teams now, and then take over these factories."

"Then, I can do what other ministers want to do, completely annihilate the rebellion, completely pacify the border areas, etc."

Then, Su Yi looked at the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I said it when I established the new army. The success does not have to be mine. As long as the new army is trained, it doesn't matter whether I am the coach of the new army."

This hit the nail on the head.

Because Su Yi did hand over the new army.

The emperor asked the two wings of the new army to leave Jiujiang and go to Yangzhou. Su Yi had no objection at all.

The emperor made Ronglu the assistant minister of the new army and completely took over the Tianjin military station. Su Yi did not object.

With such high integrity, isn’t it worthy of trust?

Su Yi said: "But there is one thing. Regarding the establishment of the factory, it is really related to the economic lifeline of our Qing Dynasty, and even to the future life and death. I must do it well, no matter what the cost, I must do it well."

This sentence actually has some edge.

It immediately reminded the emperor of two years ago. When the New Army was established, Boyan first and then Zhaolin went to seize power.

As a result, Boyan was beaten to the end and he still can't get up.

Zhaolin committed suicide and died tragically.

When Su Yi was running a big business, he was like a fierce dog guarding his food. He would kill anyone who dared to sabotage or disturb him.

Therefore, when the emperor heard this sentence, he was stunned at first.

Then, there is anger.

Su Yi, what do you mean? Is this a secret warning?

Are you saying that only you can do things, and the others will only hold you back?

Su Yi said sincerely: "Your Majesty, I swear here that after three years, the Jiujiang factory is on the right track, and I will hand it all over to the imperial court, and I will never be obsessed with power!"

Then, Sanxi Hall fell into silence once again.

After a long while, the emperor said: "I am tired."

Su Yi said: "I leave!"

Then, Su Yi left!

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

After Su Yi left, the emperor was not tired at all.

Instead, he sat quietly in his chair and began to review.

This evening's conversation with Su Yi contained too much information, and he needed to digest it well.

Was this a successful conversation?

do not know!

First of all, the accusations those people made against Su Yi were completely false.

He is still the same as before, dedicated to the country and the public.

but……

Has the emperor's grudge been eliminated?

do not know either.

No, he knew that.

The grudge has not been eliminated.

In fact, he felt even more uncomfortable.

But this discomfort has deteriorated.

Before, he was purely angry. He felt that Su Yi had betrayed him, that Su Yi was arrogant and ignorant.

And after talking!

The emperor didn't know how to describe the feeling in his heart.

It's that kind of thing, people don't betray you, but... that's because they have high aspirations.

In modern terms, people's goal is the stars and the sea.

Of course the emperor didn't know this.

The emperor felt very uncomfortable, but he could not express it in his mouth.

Su Yi, you are dedicated to the public and to the country and the country.

Then...then where do you put me?

But, do you think Su Yi is wrong?

And the question that your emperor is most concerned about is, will the British withdraw their troops? What do the British want?

Su Yi also gave you the answer directly.

And it gives you a very clear answer.

Even if the attitude is bad, even if it is full of sadness, he still gives a solution.

All I have to say is, according to the bottom line in your emperor's heart, even if it's a pig, we can still negotiate.

The more the emperor thought about it, the more uncomfortable he became, and said: "Summon Sushun and others, no, summon Sushun alone into the palace."

At the critical moment, the emperor still trusted Sushun.

Because he understands the emperor best and can provide him with psychological massage.

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

This time, Sushun came quickly because he was waiting outside the palace.

The emperor described the conversation he had just had with Su Yi.

After listening, Sushun also fell into silence.

He didn't expect that this would be the result.

Su Yi's meeting with the emperor seemed to resolve all the doubts.

But...it's too tough.

As a minister, the will you have shown is too firm.

You have hurt the emperor's pride.

And as luck would have it, Su Yi was right.

Sushun could easily tell that Su Yi was right.

Listening to this gramophone, the sound of Peking opera came from it.

Totally astonished.

Then I saw that the entire Sanxi Hall was brightly lit, like daylight.

Sushun fell into even more astonishment.

He listened to Su Ye's shocking theories again.

Now the Qing Dynasty is losing money every year. If things go on like this, its financial lifeline will not be guaranteed.

We must find a way to restore the situation and balance the entry and exit.

What Su Yi said and did was right.

However, you make people appear so incompetent and ignorant.

Too arrogant.

The emperor said: "Sushun, do you think what Su Yi said is right? Is what he did right?"

Sushun was silent for a while and said, "I'm afraid, it's...right."

At this time, the emperor deeply felt how Li Shimin felt when facing Wei Zheng.

In fact, he felt much worse than Li Shimin at this time.

He had one sentence that he didn't say.

Before talking to Su Yi, the emperor thought that Su Yi was arrogant and had failed his kindness. The emperor was very angry, but he just wanted Su Yi to be beaten hard for a while.

And now... there seems to be a demon inside him.

There seemed to be a killing intent.

Sushun was silent for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, in the current situation, Jiujiang really cannot lack Su Yi. This is a stall with more than ten million taels of silver, half of which is the hard-earned money of hundreds of thousands of people in the capital."

"The most important thing is that, according to this trend, these factories may really bring huge benefits to Qing Dynasty in the future."

"If Su Yi were not here, this huge debt of more than 10 million taels would probably explode immediately."

"In addition, the top priority is the retreat of the British and barbarian troops."

The emperor said quietly: "Sushun, I want to tell you something from my heart. I don't want him to run this factory."

"I don't even want to see him again."

Of course, this is just what Yi Chi thinks.

This is also the only thing he would say to Sushun.

As Emperor Xianfeng, he could not say this.

Sushun understood the emperor's psychology instantly.

The other party is now in a dilemma.

From the emperor's personal mood, he did not want to let Su Yi return to Jiangxi, and would completely remove him and put him in cold storage.

But from the emperor's point of view, for the sake of the country and the country, Su Yi must be allowed to return to Jiangxi.

Otherwise, what if the debt of more than 10 million taels of silver suddenly explodes?

And everything Su Yi said and did was right.

But what makes people angry is that he is right, and he is right all the time.

Can't you make a mistake once?

Even if you make a mistake once?

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

Princess Shouan's Mansion.

Even late at night, Princess Shou'an was still waiting in the study.

really……

Su Yi appeared.

"What should we do? What should we do?" Princess Shou'an asked tremblingly: "What should we do in this situation now?"

Su Yi hugged her gently and said, "Good sister, please go back to Mongolia."

Princess Shou'an was surprised and said, "What do you mean?"

Then, she shook her head and said: "The Emperor has already driven me back to Mongolia, but I don't want to go back. Even if I want to go back, I will wait until you and Sixth Sister get married before I go back."

Su Yi said: "Princess Shouxi and I will never get married again."

"We won't get married for at least two or three years."

"The emperor may not be able to break the engagement, but he will drag it on indefinitely."

After hearing these words, Princess Shou'an burst into tears.

Su Yi said softly: "Be obedient and go back to Mongolia first. When I ask you to come back, you can come back."

Princess Shou'an didn't speak anymore, she just lay quietly in Su Yi's arms.

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

It was already midnight when Su Yi returned home.

The whole family didn't sleep.

Chongen and his wife didn't sleep either.

The night when the emperor came to the palace to see him was also a thrilling night for them.

As soon as Su Yi returned home, her family immediately greeted her.

Sister Qingqing said softly: "Xiaoyi, how are you? Have you passed this level?"

Then, the whole family looked at Su Yi anxiously.

Su Yi said: "It's over."

Suddenly, everyone breathed a long sigh of relief.

Su Yi said: "Where is the baby?"

Qingqing said: "Asleep."

Su Yi said: "Sister, you should go back to your room and rest. I'll be here soon."

"Uncle, brother, let's go to the study to talk."

Su He was stunned, why was he not the one who went to the study to talk?

But the next second, he was dragged away by Tong Jiashi.

And Qingqing walked back to the room and lay gently next to the baby.

The eyes looking at the baby are full of love.

What I am looking at is the baby, but what I am thinking about is the baby’s father.

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

In the study room!

Su Yi said: "Brother, you can find a reason to impeach the minister of household affairs, then let nature take its course, resign and go home."

The eldest brother Su Quan was slightly startled, then nodded and said: "Okay."

Su Yi said: "Uncle, you have said it all to the end, just right."

"I have arranged people in the capital. You should be ready at any time. Because the people I arranged will appear at home at any time and take you secretly to leave the capital south and go to Jiujiang."

Hearing Su Yi's words.

Su Quan and Chong En were shocked.

Chongen couldn't help but said: "Xiaoyi, has it reached this point?"

Su Quandao: "Second brother, didn't you say that this level has been passed?"

Su Yi said: "This level has been passed, but the real storm has just begun. For the safety of the whole family, we must leave the capital. Of course, not now, but one day in the future."

Chongen said: "Are you all going to leave?"

Su Yi said: "Yes, all of them!"

Chongen said: "Okay, I will make preparations secretly immediately."

Su Quandao: "I am also ready for everything."

Then, he added: "Don't worry, I won't tell Amma."

Chongen couldn't help but look at Su Quan.

That's all you need to say.

But Su Quan still felt that it was better to speak out so as not to worry his brother.

Su Yi smiled and said: "Brother, you can only use your skills after you go to Jiujiang. There is a lack of selfless people like you there."

This is not a complete comfort to Su Quan. With his temperament, his eldest brother is actually not suitable for being an official in the imperial court. Only by staying at the Jiujiang Factory can he use his talents.

Su Yi discovered that his eldest brother didn't know much about people, but he was very sensitive and proficient in mathematics. This was a kind of talent.

Su Yi said: "As for uncle, you can help me sit in charge and communicate with the various provinces and territories."

Chongen has nothing but a reputation for being noble, and he has high seniority and seniority.

If he comes forward, the frontier officials in other provinces will have to give some face.

However, this uncle is too upright.

There are some things that will happen next, and I'm afraid he will need to be fully involved before he can understand what Su Yi did.

Afterwards, he chatted and laughed for a while, and the three of them dispersed.

After Su Quan returned, he couldn't sleep and wrote a thousand-word memorial.

As a person, once he does something, he must do it to the extreme.

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

After entering the room.

The little baby raised his hands and slept soundly.

Qingqing Dage gently nestled in his arms.

Su Yi said: "Sister, be prepared. You may need to evacuate with your baby and your family to Jiujiang at any time."

In the dark night, it seems that Qingqing's eyes are full of surprise.

"really?"

Su Yi said: "It's true."

The baby next to him seemed to be awakened, twisted a few times, and then went back to sleep.

Sister Qingqing arched her head slightly and said softly: "What a good little girl, what a baby..." "Sister, I really want you crazy."

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

Meeting the next day!

Su Yi did not go to court.

The emperor did not explicitly ask him to go to court, nor did he ask him not to go to court.

But Su Yi chose not to go.

However, the court's impeachment of Su Yi seemed to have disappeared without a trace.

Because everyone knew that after Su Yi came to Beijing to interview the emperor, all the decision-making power was in the hands of the emperor.

Whether they impeach or not, the outcome is the same.

but……

As if receiving some kind of signal, the impeachment of Shen Baozhen, the prefect of Jiujiang, was as intensive as raindrops.

Any mistakes Shen Baozhen had made before were exposed at this time.

His whole life seemed like someone was using a magnifying glass ten times or a hundred times to find faults.

There were literally dozens or hundreds of people frantically impeaching him.

If Shen Baozhen were in this court, he would probably be frightened.

At this moment, a discordant voice appeared.

Su Quan, a doctor in the Ministry of Hubu, came out and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I want to impeach the Minister of Hubu, Weng, for taking bribes and perverting the law."

Everyone was stunned.

Su Quan, what do you mean?

Your brother Su Yi should have passed the test this time.

Everyone has received the signal from Su Zhongtang to stop the impeachment of Su Yi.

At this time, you should stay safe and tuck your tail.

What’s the point of you coming out to impeach Weng Xincun at this time?

What are you looking for?

But Su Quan was very serious about his work. Although he obeyed his brother's words and impeached Weng Xincun in order to resign, he was also extremely well prepared.

All the evidence is very clear.

The year, the dereliction of duty, and the approximate amount of money involved are all clearly written down.

His impeachment lasted a full quarter of an hour.

Thousands of words can be said eloquently.

And it's all dry stuff, with almost no sensational words.

Everyone present became more and more frightened upon hearing this.

Of course, it’s not that the frightened man has so many mistakes in his heart. Among the ministers of the court, which one didn’t make money and which one didn’t make mistakes?

What shocked Su Quan was that he was so ruthless in impeaching his superior.

What on earth does he mean?

Was it his own intention? Or did Su Yi mean it?

This kind of impeachment is often a trump card and will never come back.

With this level of impeachment, if you don't impeach others, you yourself will fall.

Sure enough, after Su Quan's impeachment was completed, Weng Xinchun, the Minister of Household Affairs, immediately knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, I am begging for the bones."

When encountering an impeachment of this level, it is not even easy to argue. The higher the minister is, the more honorable he must be.

The only way is to resign.

The emperor looked at Su Quan with uncertain eyes and did not speak for a long time.

This level of impeachment is difficult for him as an emperor to avoid because the charges are too detailed.

"The Metropolitan Procuratorate, investigate!" the emperor said.

The literary talent of the Metropolitan Procuratorate stood out and bowed: "My lord, I obey the order!"

Then, the top leader of the Metropolitan Procuratorate said: "Your Majesty, I also want to impeach Shen Bao for three major crimes."

"The first item is to blow up the Yangtze River dams, which is harmful to nature."

"The second item is the change of flag in Nanchang, greedy for merit and rash advancement, and the loss of troops and generals."

"The third item was that in Shanghai, they robbed the imperial court of guns, artillery and weapons from the new army and showed contempt for the imperial court."

Well? !

You, your angle is really tricky.

This last charge was not brought up by anyone two years ago because everyone was against Su Ye at that time, and Shen Baozhen was grabbing Su Ye's arms. The most important thing was that Su Ye killed Zhang Yuzhao in public.

At that time, the big bosses of the Hunan Army were still trying their best to impeach Su Yi.

If the boss of the Metropolitan Procuratorate comes forward to impeach, that basically sets the tone.

The emperor said loudly: "Draw up a decree to remove Shen Baozhen from all positions and demote him to a common citizen!"

at last!

The emperor poured all his anger on Shen Baozhen.

The next suspense is who the emperor will choose as the prefect of Jiujiang.

This position is not simple now. To a certain extent, the current Jiujiang prefect is Su Yi's real deputy.

Then, Sushun came out and said: "Your Majesty, the current political and military affairs in Jiangxi are heavy. As the governor of Jiangxi, Su Yi cannot leave for too long, so it is better to return to Gan as soon as possible."

After hearing this, the emperor seemed to nod his head, but said nothing.

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

at home.

Su Yi was holding her baby son, enjoying the happiness of her family.

The mother, Tong Jiashi, was smiling at the side and couldn't help but reach out her hands several times to bring her precious grandson over.

She felt uncomfortable every time she didn't hold her precious grandson for two hours.

So these days, she and Mrs. Chong'en are almost competing to hold this grandson.

On the contrary, Qingqing, a mother, can only take her baby with her when she goes to bed at night.

Tong Jiashi watched Qingqing look at Su Yi with more and more eyes. She made a prompt decision and immediately stepped forward to take her eldest grandson away.

"Come on, let's go out and play."

The big baby screamed a few times, but before he could have any fun, he was taken away.

But soon I saw that I was about to go out, and I suddenly became excited, like a puppy about to be let loose.

Sure enough, the baby just went out.

Qingqing couldn't wait to sit in Su Yi's arms.

It’s really not that big of an addiction, because from yesterday to today, I’ve done it three times.

It's more of a spiritual attachment.

"Xiaoyi, what are you waiting for?" Qingqing asked.

Su Yi said: "Waiting for the imperial edict."

Qingqing said softly: "Are you anxious?"

Su Yi said: "Time is very tight. I'm afraid it will be difficult to leave if I don't leave."

Qingqing pressed her face against his and said softly: "I really want to leave and go south together this time, and never be separated again."

At this moment, a shout came from outside.

"The imperial edict has arrived, Su Yi will take it!"

Su Yi kissed Qingqing lightly on the face, and then walked out.

It was Wang Chenggui who came to deliver the message, not Zenglu.

Zenglu is an ally.

But this Wang Chenggui, not so much.

Therefore, he always kept a straight face.

"According to the imperial edict of Emperor Chengyun, Su Yi, the governor of Jiangxi, will leave Beijing and return to his post tomorrow. I hereby express my gratitude!"

This purpose is extremely simple.

There was no encouragement or admonishment.

Su Yi said: "My lord, please accept the order and thank me!"

After receiving the imperial edict, Wang Chenggui did not move, but stood there with a smile on his face.

Of course Su Yi knew that this was asking for a bribe.

This person is the most greedy.

However, Su Yi pretended not to know, and after receiving the imperial edict respectfully, he placed it on the incense table.

Wang Chenggui was immediately furious.

You Su Yi, you are so arrogant, you don’t even take us seriously?

Usually when Cheng Shou comes to deliver an edict, you give him a lot of money. You are famous for your generosity.

I, Wang Chenggui, am the eunuch in charge. I usually don’t come out to deliver orders. Now that I have finally delivered the order, you don’t have any money to give me?

It's really too much of a lie.

But in Su Yi's view, Wang Chenggui was already an enemy, and it didn't matter whether he gave him money or not.

If you give it, it will be given in vain.

And after passing this level, Su Yi will express another emotion next.

The Wang Chenggui in front of me is the chief eunuch.

But it will be easy for Su Yi to kill him in the future.

"Brother Su Yi, then we wish you a bright future." Wang Chenggui gritted his teeth.

Su Yi cupped his hands and said, "Thank you very much, father-in-law for your kind words."

Then, Wang Chenggui left directly with a cold face.

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

At home.

Bingbing lay quietly on the bed, looking at the roof.

She had just drank a lot of wine, her face was red, and she was drunk.

Tears slipped silently from the corners of his eyes.

After being humiliated, she couldn't stay in the palace any longer, so she immediately knelt down and asked to go home to visit her relatives.

The queen was kind-hearted, so she asked the emperor for permission to go home and rest for a few days.

All this was completely different from what she had imagined.

She knew that she was beautiful, and even few people in the entire capital could match her beauty.

So I only wanted to marry the most noble person.

He participated in the talent show again and again, but because he was too charming, he was rejected by the Queen Mother many times.

When the Queen Mother failed and she was too old, her family paid bribes to make her break the rules and participate in the draft for the third time.

Sure enough, after losing the control of the Queen Mother, the emperor took a liking to her at a glance.

She got her wish, entered the palace and became the emperor's concubine.

However, everything was different from what she imagined.

Even if you marry into the palace, even if you are favored, it seems that it has not changed the fate of the family.

Father Zhaolin did get a promotion, but... soon died in a political struggle.

His elder brother, Zhaobu, was able to achieve what he is today entirely because of Su Yi's support.

But the emperor was cold, so this kind of favor did not last long at all.

But she was too naive before, relying on herself to be favored, offending too many people, and was suppressed repeatedly.

But she still had the illusion that the emperor doted on her after all.

But what happened not long ago completely shattered all her illusions.

She was slapped in public.

Her confidant maid was beaten to death, and the emperor personally ordered her to be beaten to death.

You deserve what the emperor said in his ear!

It seems so harsh.

At this time, she was very scared and full of hatred.

The mother was so distressed that she burst into tears.

"What's so good about marrying into the palace? If I had known at that time, I should have agreed to Su Yi's marriage proposal. He would be a caring and responsible man."

"Your brother Zhaobu originally hated Su Yi to the core, but now? He only wants to follow Su Yi to do big things."

"My good daughter, the emperor's love is not reliable. Only if you give birth to a son and a half daughter can you rely on it."

"Otherwise, I'm afraid you will have no way to survive in the future. When that day comes, you will have no children and you will be dragged away to be buried."

After Kangxi, there was no longer a system for concubines to be buried at their own expense, but Enie's words still frightened Bingbing.

Of course, what's more important is her indignation.

"Enie, when will Master Su Yi leave the capital?" Bingbing suddenly asked.

Mother said: "How do I know this?"

Bingbing said: "Go to Su Yi's home in person and tell him that I have something very important to tell him and ask him to come to our house."

"You have to be careful not to be spotted by anyone."

After her mother heard this, she was immediately stunned and said with a pale face: "My good daughter, what kind of thing are you borrowing? Enie was just joking before. It's very dangerous and the whole clan will be killed."

Bingbing said: "Huh, do you think the harem is very clean? It is also very dirty. It has been unclean since the late emperor pushed it forward, but the big guy didn't say it."

"Isn't that what you said? I have no children by my side, and my future will be very miserable. I might be dragged away to be buried as a sacrifice."

"I have already passed it. It is easy for me to get pregnant during this period. If I really get pregnant and give birth to a son, I may still be able to compete in the future. Master Su Yi will also fight for it."

Her mother was stunned.

She was really just showing off her quick words for a while, she really didn't have the courage.

But she didn't expect that her daughter would have such courage.

But I know my daughter too well. She has been spoiled since she was a child, and she is really bold.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have bribed the inner court at that time. After I got older, I would still have participated in the third draft.

And now that he is drunk, he is even more perverse.

Her mother said: "My dear daughter, you are drunk now and you are talking drunken words. Let's talk about it after you sober up, okay?"

Bingbing said: "Many people are just useless after they wake up."

"Go and ask him to come quickly..." Bingbing said drunkenly: "If you don't go, I will go by myself."

"I'm going, I'm going..." Her mother left the house in fear, hid herself in the dark, and walked towards Su Yi's house.

"Boom boom boom!"

There were sudden bursts of lightning and thunder.

Let Zhaobu's mother tremble.

It was almost winter, but there was such thunder and lightning.

Is this, is this a sign from God?

I really don’t know if my daughter’s drunken and daring behavior will bring disaster to the whole family.

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

And at the same time!

Thousands of miles away on the sea!

A strong wind swept the clouds.

Thunder and lightning.

It's raining heavily!

There was a sudden loud noise.

Lightning was like a long dragon, suddenly tearing open the night sky.

Completely illuminate the entire sea surface.

A huge combined fleet!

Like a giant beast in the dark, it was full of murderous intent and headed towards Tianjin.
