Tuqing: My first love was Cixi

Chapter 225 The peak showdown! Su Yi’s alternative Qingjun side!
Cixi said coldly: "Xiao Guizi, are you talking to me like this?"

The young eunuch Gui'er said: "This slave please apologize to the Queen Mother."

After saying that, Guier knelt down and saluted respectfully.

The Queen Mother looked at Gui'er, her cold face calmed down a little, and said: "Gui'er, go back and tell Su Yi, don't worry too much, don't think too much."

"Everything has changed now. The emperor is my son and I am the Queen Mother."

"Let him be more patient. I am waiting for the right time to summon him to Beijing."

Gui'er said: "Empress Dowager, Second Master Su Yi asked me to tell you that no matter what the emperor's plan is, it will be completely transformed in the power struggle. The only one you can trust is him."

The Queen Mother said: "Don't worry, I will always keep our feelings in mind."

Gui'er said: "Empress Dowager, my master still wants to know if the emperor has any plans to deal with him? If so, please inform the queen mother in detail so that my master can cooperate, cooperate inside and outside, and attack political opponents."

The Queen Mother said: "Gui'er, please tell him not to worry too much. It's all up to me. No matter if there is anyone in the court who wants to murder him, I can completely eliminate them, create the best environment, and then lead him to the capital."

Empress Dowager Cixi said: "He has already done so."

"This matter is very important. My lord doesn't care at all that there are plans to eradicate him. But my lord cares very much about whether you are honest with him."

The passion for love, which had not been impetuous for several years, was actually a little on fire.

"At times like this, we need absolute political candor."

Gui'er said: "Among the nine ministers who care about life, there are almost five or six people from Sushun's party. The remaining ones are Prince Gong, King Seng, and Ronglu. They seem to be one party. In fact, they are fighting on their own. Prince Gong is smart. If he fails this time, He is afraid that he will still conspire with the Queen Mother. But now that he has gained power, he only wants the Queen Mother and Su to fight more fiercely, so that he can reap the benefits. "

"But think about it, Queen Mother, whether it's for your allies or your lord, does Ronglu dare to risk his life?"

Guier bowed down and said, "I understand, slave."

The Queen Mother said: "Of course I want you to stay, but now we still need you and Su Yi to unite in the middle, so you have to run outside for a while."

"The slaves retire."

"Among the people in the world, only my Lord has this ability and courage."

Ande Hai said: "Su Yi is very capable, but he is too domineering and unwilling to be seconded. Although Lord Ronglu is very capable, he is loyal and obedient. He will go wherever the master tells him to go."

Cixi said: "Andhai, in your opinion, as an assistant, is Ronglu or Su Yi more suitable?"

But the most important thing before him is power.

Everyone wants to use Su Yi's abilities, but he doesn't want to be a slave, which is very troublesome.

Then, get up and exit.

"Our Lord's political reputation is unparalleled. Therefore, as long as the Queen Mother brings my Lord to Beijing to help, she can eradicate all political opponents and help the two Queen Mothers to listen to politics behind the curtain and grasp power without having to obey the orders of ministers."

Empress Dowager Cixi said: "Wait a moment, what do you mean?"

Cixi fell into silence, her voice full of majesty, and said: "Go back and tell Su Yi not to worry. I will call him into the center when the time is right. He shouldn't worry about the rest."

After a while, Andehai walked in and said, "Master, does he want to come back to you?"

"On the other hand, my master Su Yi, whether it was for Xu Youren or Wang Youling, he gave everything he had several times."

Even various scenes of his private life-long arrangement with Su Yi many years ago also emerged.

"So, Queen Mother, do you have anything to tell me?"

Cixi said: "Why?"

"Hey..." Guier kowtowed.

She may need a lover, but this lover also needs a slave who can do things and is loyal to him.

Gui'er said: "Empress Dowager, I have served you for several years. In my heart, you are all my most important people. So Gui'er is very anxious at this time. This is a time of life and death. This is the most terrifying thing. In this moment of political struggle, there can be no hesitation, let alone suspicion."

"At such critical moments, any suspicion will be magnified tenfold or a hundredfold."

Guier raised her head and said: "The Queen Mother, I want to stay and serve you, is that okay?"

Then, Guier resigned directly and left.

Cixi nodded, that was the truth.

"So, if the emperor really has a secret plan to eradicate my lord Su Yi, please inform him in detail, and then we can plan together. What is the specific plan, who will take action, etc."

But after taking two steps, Gui'er suddenly said: "Queen Mother, the situation is very complicated now. A slight misjudgment may lead to serious consequences. According to the plan of Second Master Su Yi, at the critical moment, he will enter the palace." , eradicate all political opponents, and help the two empress dowagers to listen to politics behind the curtain."

Gui'er said: "When the late emperor was in Jiujiang Pavilion, he had a long chat with the second master. I asked the young master that there are two situations when he ascends the throne, either Dorgon under Emperor Shunzhi, or Ao Bai under Emperor Kangxi. The second master said , Sushun is Obai. It was fine when the late emperor was here, but when the late emperor is gone, he will probably become more and more arrogant, even roaring at the palace and looking down upon the emperor."

After hearing this, Cixi nodded and said, "I completely trust this."

After the emperor's death, the twenty-seven-year-old Xingzhen's mind naturally became more active.

"Rong Lu is extremely smart, and he controls the Tianjin New Army, and he and the Queen Mother are childhood sweethearts. But this person is so smart that he can always find the best opportunities, the biggest opportunities, and climb up. So in just a short time In his twenties, he became the Minister of Guan Ming."

"This time the British and French allied forces attacked Dagukou, Tongzhou, and Baliqiao. The Tianjin New Army was obviously very powerful. Why did their fighting spirit often collapse? It was because the coach Ronglu did not have the will to die. He always considered room for everything and was unwilling to give in. He has tried everything and has no determination to burn the boat, so he is not a political supporter who can be absolutely trusted."

If Su Yi is lured into the center, this person is too capable to suppress him.

This means that his status in the eyes of his master is higher.

As Cixi's number one confidant, An Dehai shuddered when he heard these words, and then felt ecstatic in his heart.

After a long while, he said: "Reporting to the master, Lord Ronglu is more suitable."

Su Yi is good at everything.

He was an excellent lover, exciting people, and extremely capable. The emperor even said that with him in charge of the government, the Qing Dynasty would really be revived.

But unfortunately, he is not a good slave.

Therefore, Empress Dowager Cixi has not yet decided whether Su Yi can use it or not. Desire him physically and emotionally, but reject his ideals and ambitions.

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

the other side.

There are terrible rumors coming out of the Chengde Palace.

It is said that the Empress Dowager Cixi not only had an affair with the man before entering the palace, but also continued the affair with the man after entering the palace.

Even after giving birth to Longzi, she went out of the palace several times to have trysts with this man.

Time!
Everyone was in a panic.

The first time a scandal about the Queen Mother came out, it was probably just an accident.

The second time it came out, it was a definite conspiracy.

The Empress Dowager Cixi was furious, and the Empress Dowager Ci'an was also furious.

Empress Dowager Ci'an once again ordered an investigation.

As a result... the people around Seng Gelinqin Fujin were found again.

By the time this person was found, his body had already exploded in the desert.

At this time, Seng Gelinqin almost pinched Fujin's neck and roared: "Did you spread the news? Did you say it? Do you want us to kill everyone?"

His Fujin struggled desperately: "It's not me, it's not me. After the last incident, I never said a word again."

Seng Gelinqin said: "Before the last incident, did you tell me how many times Concubine Yi went out of the palace to have trysts with men after giving birth to Longzi?"

Fujin said: "I may have said it in private a few times, but I don't know if I said this alone. At that time, she suddenly left the palace at night and returned to her parents' home to visit her relatives."

Seng Gelinqin roared: "One day, our whole family will be killed by you!"

Fujin said: "It's not like our family is talking about it, I don't know how many people are talking about it."

Seng Gelinqin said: "But you have a big mouth, and the most rumors spread from you. So now if people want to make up conspiracies, they all leave our house."

Fujin said: "Our family is Prince Horqin, who controls tens of thousands of cavalry, what can she do? Boyan is also the head coach of the Tianjin New Army, what should she do?"

Seng Gelinqin said: "Just because we can't do anything now doesn't mean we can't do anything in the future."

Fujin said: "Now that Su Yi is such a big threat, the court has to rely on you and Ronglu's army, so it can only coax you."

Seng Gelinqin said angrily: "Then don't you think that she might be colluding with Su Yi?"

"Whose conspiracy is this? Aren't you afraid of really forcing the Queen Mother to go to Su Yi? This is going to cause big trouble!"

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

Next, Seng Gelinqin went to kneel down to see the Empress Dowager Cixi.

The last time, the Queen Mother met him in a pleasant manner and said that this was obviously a estrangement plan and she could see through it, so she asked the Monk King not to worry too much.

And this time.

Seng Gelinqin knelt outside for a quarter of an hour, but the Queen Mother never summoned him.

He just knelt upright and motionless outside, and people coming and going looked at him with slightly strange eyes.

Seng Gelinqin is also very proud.

Although they were defeated this time, his Mongolian cavalry was not afraid of death, but charged round after round.

Today, he has the largest army in the imperial court and is also the most capable of fighting.

Why should I be criticized by a woman?

So with an angry snort, Seng Gelinqin stood up and left.

Over there, Ande Hai immediately went back to report to the Queen Mother, saying: "The Queen Mother, Seng Gelinqin left. He only knelt down for a quarter of an hour and left, and he was quite angry when he left."

Cixi was so angry that she was shaking all over.

You Seng Gelinqin, the scandal rumors came from you Fujin. It was just the first time, but now there is a second time, and it is getting more and more unbearable.

Are you impatient now that you have been kneeling for a quarter of an hour?
Originally, Cixi planned to make Seng Gelinqin kneel for about half an hour, but she summoned him again and beat him twice.

As a result, they left within a quarter of an hour.

In this case, it will be difficult to restore the relationship.

It has officially entered a chain of suspicion and semi-hostility.

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

That night.

Sushun and others secretly summoned Seng Gelinqin.

"King Monk, tell us honestly, did the Emperor give you and Ronglu the secret plan to eradicate Su Yi?" Sushun said directly.

Seng Gelinqin said: "Su Zhongtang, I don't know how many times I have answered this question."

Du Han stepped forward and said, "King Monk, I just want to ask you one question: Is the affair between Su Yi and Concubine Yi true?"

Seng Gelinqin's expression suddenly changed drastically.

Du Han said: "King Monk, the emperor also knew about this, so he put Concubine Yi under house arrest for a month. The emperor definitely wanted to kill her at that time. Why didn't he kill her? Why do you think that was?"

"Is it because he is the mother of the prince? There are too many mothers who leave their mothers and leave sons, and the new emperor has been growing up with the Empress Dowager Ci'an and is not close to the Yehenala family."

"Even if the late emperor gets rid of the Yehenala clan, it will have no impact on the emperor."

"Then why didn't the late Emperor kill Concubine Yi at that time? There was only one reason, he wanted to use Concubine Yi to kill Su Yi!"

"And he first put her under house arrest for a month to make her despair. Finally, at the critical moment, he was pardoned and given the imperial seal of Tongdao Hall, allowing him to go from hell to heaven."

"Concubine Yi has an affair with Su Yi, so only she can summon Su Yi to the capital and the palace."

"And King Monk and Ronglu have soldiers in their hands. The key is that in the main hall, the emperor did not kill Concubine Yi, but gave him the royal seal of his fellow ministers. All the ministers were shocked, including Prince Gong, but you and Ronglu were the only ones. Your expression is as usual, so I guess that the emperor has given the order to eradicate Su Yi to the two of you, right?"

"King Monk, you don't have to tell me yes or no."

"I just want to ask the Monk King one thing." Du Han said; "Is the affair between Concubine Yi and Su Yi true?"

Seng Gelinqin said: "I'm afraid it's true."

Du Han said: "Since this affair is true, then at the critical moment, did she really use the new emperor's decree to summon Su Yi to the capital? What about entering the center? At the critical moment, instead of ordering the killing, she joined forces with him. What about us people?”

"We are all aware of Su Yi's methods. Once he and Concubine Yi join forces, all of us will be in danger."

Seng Gelinqin remained silent.

Du Han said: "King Monk, does the Emperor have another secret decree? For example, if Concubine Yi is unable to take action at that time, or changes her mind and does not want to kill Su Yi, you can directly take action and eliminate her and Su Yi together?"

As soon as these words came out, Seng Gelinqin's expression changed drastically.

Is this Du Han so smart?
No wonder at the last moment, although the emperor trusted Du Han very much, he never recruited Du Han when discussing secret matters.

When Du Han saw Seng Gelinqin's expression, he became even more convinced that he had guessed it right.

Then Du Han asked: "Does it mean that the emperor has a secret secret in the hands of the Empress Dowager Ci'an? Can this edict have the righteousness to do anything?"

Senggelinqin simply closed his eyes, not wanting to reveal any emotions.

This Du Han is simply a roundworm in the emperor's belly. He can completely guess how to deploy it.

Du Han said: "The Monk King does not need to answer us about these matters. I only ask the Monk King three questions."

"The first question is whether the head coach of the Tianjin New Army is Ronglu or Boyan."

"Second question, is there room for relaxation between you and the Queen Mother? Even if she doesn't do anything to you today, won't she do something to you in the future?"

"The third question is, Ronglu and the Queen Mother are also childhood sweethearts. If things get really critical, will she and Ronglu take action against you?"

Seng Gelinqin hissed: "What exactly do you want to do?"

Du Han said: "It's very simple. If it is as I guessed. The late emperor really handed over the plan to eradicate Su Yi to you and Ronglu, then when you do it, you will Su Yi, Ronglu, and Yehenala's family." Eradicate it together, that’s it, once and for all!”

As soon as these words came out, Seng Gelinqin's face changed drastically and said: "You are crazy!"

Du Han said: "It's not us who are crazy, but you, Monk King, are confused and think you have a way out. The two scandals of the Holy Mother Queen Mother broke out from your family. She has long hated you to the core. And she and Su Yi The old relationship is still there, so it is very likely that Su Yi will not be attacked. The only result is that she and Ronglu will join forces to eradicate you. If you don't fight back, you will probably die without a burial place."

Du Han said: "But as long as you change your mind and take the opportunity to eradicate these three idiots together, the world will be peaceful and the country will be peaceful. The Queen Mother and the Queen Mother will also be grateful to you."

Seng Gelinqin's eyes narrowed.

Du Han said: "Do you think the Queen Mother is willing to have two queen mothers? Isn't it good for her to be the main queen mother? And don't forget, she is the niece of Su Zhongtang and Prince Zheng. She has broken bones and connected tendons."

Sushun said: "Seng Gelinqin, we know that you took the greatest risk in this matter. So after the matter is completed, you will be the most important contributor to this dynasty. In order to commend your achievements, the Queen Mother and the Emperor will give you The family will add another prince. By then, you will have two kings in Horqin Palace, which is unique in this dynasty."

Duan Hua next to him said: "One of the princes needs to be downgraded. But the prince's title, the iron hat king, is hereditary and will not be downgraded."

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked towards Duan Hua.

Not counting the rewards of the two kings, but also adding an iron hat king? ! This... this grace is too much.

There were a total of eight Iron Hat Kings in this dynasty, and four were added later.

I don’t know how many years there have been, but there haven’t been any more Iron Hat Kings.

Sushun said slowly: "I, Sushun, whatever I said still counts. I have basically never betrayed my teammates."

"Seng Gelinqin, this does not violate the emperor's will at all. He wants to kill Su Yi and also wants to kill Concubine Yi."

"You did it. You are truly the greatest contributor to this dynasty and a benefactor to all of us."

"And only you can do this. Ronglu's Tianjin New Army is also commanded by Boyan to some extent. He took the opportunity to arrange a few people, which is not difficult at all. It is not timid to bribe a few people. .”

"As long as you agree, this matter is 100% sure."

"Eradicate the Yehenala clan, Ronglu, and Su Yi in one fell swoop. The country will be stable and the emperor will have no worries."

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

at the same time!

Empress Dowager Cixi also secretly summoned Ronglu.

"Rong Lu, what do you think about Seng Gelinqin?"

Ronglu said respectfully: "To tell the Queen Mother, he is a loyal minister."

The Queen Mother said: "The two rumors about me came from his house."

Ronglu said: "That's probably someone's plan to drive a wedge between us."

The Queen Mother said: "Then do you think this estrangement plan has been successful? He knelt outside for a quarter of an hour, and then left angrily. He felt that he had been humiliated. Can the previous grudge between me and him be alleviated?"

Ronglu was silent for a while and said, "It's difficult."

The Queen Mother said: "Then do you think he will collude with Sushun, in the name of eradicating Su Yi, and use the rumors and scandals between Su Yi and me to eradicate you and me together?"

Ronglu trembled all over and said: "This slave will be shattered into pieces, but we must also protect the Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother asked: "How well do you control the new Tianjin army?"

Ronglu said: "Seventy to eighty percent."

The Queen Mother said: "In other words, there are still 20 to 30% in the hands of Boyanna Mohu?"

Ronglu said: "Yes."

The Queen Mother said: "So, Seng Gelinqin has the ability and certain intentions to do this and take the opportunity to catch all three of us."

Ronglu said: "This slave was shattered to pieces..."

The Queen Mother waved her hand to stop him from repeating this sentence.

"What do you think of Su Yi?" the Queen Mother asked again.

Ronglu's back felt cold and his scalp felt numb. The Queen Mother had already asked this question once, but this time she obviously wanted a different answer.

After a long while, Ronglu said: "A capable minister in governing the world, a hero in troubled times. Even this sentence is not enough to express his talent."

The Queen Mother said: "What then?"

Ronglu said: "No one can stop what he wants to do. Not even the late emperor can stop him, and you can't stop him either."

The Queen Mother said: "Why should I stop him? The late emperor didn't like to run factories or engage in foreign affairs. I don't care. He can do whatever he wants. As long as he obeys my will, I will let him do it. If he wants to train troops, he can do it." , If you want to set up a factory, set up a factory.”

Ronglu said, "His contribution is too great. His army wants Chen Qiao to mutiny. What should we do?"

The Queen Mother said: "Then let him take care of government affairs and not get involved in the army. Leave the government affairs to him, and Yi will keep an eye on him. The military affairs will be left to you, so that you have an army and can control him."

Ronglu said: "What he wants to do is huge. If he wants to rectify the flag affairs and remove the power of the Eight Banners, will the Queen Mother support him?"

"There will be more and more factories in the future, and the talents needed will be completely different. He wants to reform the imperial examination and abolish the imperial examination that has been passed down for thousands of years. What should he do? Does the Queen Mother support it?"

"He is running more and more factories. Those who control the money of the factories want to gain further power. What if they want to establish a constitutional monarchy like the West? Does the Queen Mother support it?"

The Queen Mother said: "Will he really do this in the future?"

Ronglu said: "It will definitely happen. Today is a great change that has not happened in a thousand years. This man is also a great talent that has not been seen in a century. No one can block his way, and no one can stop what he wants to do, unless he is directly destroyed. If he just wanted to run foreign affairs and build factories, the late emperor appointed him as minister of foreign affairs, and he took over. So it was not that he wanted to seek power, but that what he was doing was so big that he had to seek power."

"Unless the Queen Mother fully supports him, she will not question any decision he makes and directly stamps his seal, then there will be no conflict between the two of you. It is okay for the Queen Mother to want to introduce him to the center, but she must do a good job Mental preparation: On the surface, the Queen Mother of the two palaces is the master. But in fact, one person's will still has to be the master."

"If the subordinate relationship is not clear, even if the Queen Mother introduces Su Yi, she will fall into conflicts and danger."

Yehenala fell silent and said for a long time: "But now Sushun obviously can't tolerate me anymore. I was under house arrest for a month, which was his slander to the emperor. I will never destroy Sushun, my palace It’s uneasy. And now they may have started colluding with Seng Gelinqin and planning to murder me.”

Ronglu thought for a while and said: "Queen Mother, the key is Seng Gelinqin, this person can be fought for."

Yehenala said: "At this time, can he still fight for it?"

Ronglu said: "Yes, this rumor may be a stratagem to alienate people, or it may be that Monk King Fujin accidentally leaked it. But no matter what, Monk King is an upright person, and he is completely loyal to the emperor. If he is completely under fear, , he may really collude with Sushun and others. But now that the status of monarch and minister has been determined, the Queen Mother is the monarch. Unless it is absolutely necessary, he does not want to be an enemy of the Queen Mother. This is the deepest thought in his mind. "

"He knelt for a moment and then left because he was arrogant, not because he was hostile to the Queen Mother."

"So, I am willing to make it clear to Senggelinqin and pull him over completely."

The Queen Mother said: "You don't want me to bring Su Yi into my group, right?"

Ronglu said: "I completely obey the Queen Mother's decree. As long as you decide to unite Su Yi to deal with Sushun and others, I will completely obey and contact Su Yi immediately to plan the layout. But as your most loyal minion, Su Yi is too ambitious." Big and uncontrollable, it is the last resort to recruit him into the gang. The best strategy is still to win over Seng Gelinqin." "As long as we win over Seng Gelinqin, we can deal with Sushun and others. At that time, the Empress Dowager will summon Su Yi to Beijing. When we entered the palace, Seng Gelinqin and I joined forces to help the Queen Mother, and everything was as stable as Mount Tai. Regardless of whether Su Yi is captured, used, or captured first and then used, it is up to the Queen Mother Qiangang to decide."

"The slave first went to deal with Seng Gelinqin, and then persuaded Prince Gong, and then sent people to publicly request the order in the court, asking the two empress dowagers to listen to the government behind the curtain. If the Sushun party dares to object, the two empress dowagers will immediately issue an edict, and the ministers and monks will Greenqin has an army in his hands and can take down all the Sushun party."

"At that time, whether the Sushun Party will live or die will depend entirely on the will of the Queen Mother!"

"The Queen Mother wants to destroy Sushun's party, so she doesn't need Su Yi. It's enough for the slaves to join forces with Seng Gelinqin and Prince Gong."

"The Queen Mother listens to the government behind the curtain. After taking control of the power, the true righteousness is in hand. Whether or not to summon Su Yi to the capital at that time is entirely your will."

"Su Yi is domineering and overbearing. He must not be allowed to provide help in times of need, let alone help establish the overall situation. Otherwise, he will not be rewarded for his achievements."

"Even if you have to use Su Yi, the dust has settled in the court and you take the initiative to show mercy."

"If this person wants to use it, he must be hit hard and his prestige must be destroyed before he can use it."

The Queen Mother fell into deep thought.

Rong Lu said: "This is the foolish opinion of the servant who racked his brains. As the saying goes, a fool will always find something after all his considerations. Now there are rumors that the Queen Mother and Su Yi have an affair. If he is called into the affair, it will only further confirm the scandal. The Queen Mother lost her righteousness and gave the Sushun Party a handle."

"With the wish of King Monk at peace, we will join forces with King Monk and Prince Gong!"

"Then, come forward and ask the queen mothers of the two palaces to listen to the affairs behind the curtain."

"Launch a coup and eradicate the Sushun Party."

"These are the three moves I thought of. The order cannot be wrong."

"Only after completing these three moves can we consider Su Yi's matter. He is an outsider. We must not bring him into the game at this time, otherwise the game will be in chaos."

The Queen Mother said: "It is said that Su Yi is unparalleled in intelligence and scheming. He regards the world as a chess game. Your honor and wealth are not far behind."

Ronglu kowtowed and said: "I don't dare to praise the Queen Mother. I will never be a chess player. I will always be just a chess piece in the hands of the Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother said: "Since you have conceived the chess game so clearly, then let's do what you said."

Ronglu said: "I accept the order, thank you!"

The Queen Mother said: "Don't let me down."

Ronglu looked at the Queen Mother with blazing eyes and said: "This slave is shattered to pieces, all I want is for the Queen Mother to show off her beauty."

Then Ronglu turned and left.

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

A few hours later!
Ronglu met Seng Gelinqin secretly again.

"King Monk, we two are grasshoppers on the same rope. You will not forget the late emperor's edict, right? You will not disobey the late emperor's will, right?" Rong Lu said.

Seng Gelinqin said: "What did you say? You, Rong Zhonghua, are a loyal minister. Could it be that I, Seng Gelinqin, am a treacherous minister?"

Ronglu said: "Then do you still remember our mission?"

Seng Gelinqin said: "Destroy Su Yi."

Rong Lu said: "To destroy Su Yi, there are three important people in total. You, me, and the Queen Mother. The three of us cannot be separated."

Seng Gelinqin's expression suddenly became complicated.

Ronglu said: "King Monk, tell me honestly, did the recent rumors about the Holy Mother and Queen Mother come from your family?"

Seng Gelin said in a cold voice: "Rong Lu, what do you mean? Do you want to raise an army to punish the Queen Mother?"

Ronglu said: "This is a typical alienation plan, can't you see it?"

Seng Gelinqin said: "So what if you find out? The Queen Mother has already blamed me. I will not be able to escape the blame in the future."

Ronglu was silent for a while and said, "King Monk, do you want to get rid of Su Yi?"

Seng Gelinqin said: "Of course, Su Yi and I have a deep hatred."

Ronglu said: "In this world, the person who least wants Su Yi to get ahead is me, and the person who least wants him to enter the center is me. Because in the eyes of everyone, I am his substitute. No matter where the late emperor is, , or at the Holy Mother Queen Mother, Monk King, can you understand me?"

Seng Gelinqin said: "Yes."

Ronglu said: "At this most critical moment, the three of us must be absolutely honest with each other, without a trace of suspicion or discord."

Seng Gelinqin was silent.

Ronglu said: "The Queen Mother Queen Mother summoned me just now. She said she knew it was a divorce plan. But she was afraid that you had colluded with Sushun. She felt a fatal crisis, so she asked me if I needed Introduce Su Yi as a foreign aid."

Seng Gelinqin's expression changed drastically.

Ronglu said: "What will be the consequences once the Queen Mother Queen Mother recruits Su Yi as a foreign aid? You and I both know it clearly."

"King Monk, the Queen Mother Mother does not want to recruit Su Yi as a foreign aid. You are the first choice. But if you join Sushun's camp, then she will have no choice but to recruit Su Yi as a foreign aid."

"Su Yi is a hero in troubled times. What he has to do is too big, so he must take the absolute initiative. Although the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother have had an affair with him, she absolutely does not want to recruit him as a foreign aid. This person is too domineering. Wow, it’s too domineering.”

"King Monk, do you want the Queen Mother to be really together with Su Yi?"

"If you really collude with Sushun, then the Queen Mother will have no choice but to recruit Su Yi as a foreign aid. At that time, I will completely obey the Queen Mother's will."

Seng Gelinqin said angrily: "Rong Lu, are you crazy? Have you forgotten the late emperor's will? Eradicating Su Yi is our greatest mission."

Ronglu roared: "You also know that this is our biggest mission. This matter requires the three of us to unite as one. If you stay with Sushun, what do you want us to do? Do you want to sit back and wait for death? We all want to get rid of you." Su Yi, but first you have to save your own life."

Seng Gelinqin said: "I also want to unite as one, but the Queen Mother has already blamed me and hates me."

Ronglu said: "This is a divorce plan, a divorce plan!"

Then, Seng Gelinqin continued: "Whether it is a divorce plan or not, he has already worked."

Ronglu was silent for a while and said, "What did Sushun promise you?"

Seng Gelinqin said nothing.

Ronglu said: "Tell me, what did Sushun promise you? King Iron Hat? What he promised, the Queen Mother can also promise. What Sushun is not able to give, the Queen Mother is able to give." The empress dowagers of the two palaces control the royal seal and the great righteousness."

Seng Gelinqin thought for a while and said: "We have two princes, one of whom is the Iron Hat King."

Ronglu said: "You really dare to talk in vain. Does he have the right to give these things?"

"it is good!"

Ronglu slapped the table and said: "I will fight for this condition for you. Sushun has only a 60% chance, but the Queen Mother has an 80% chance. If necessary, I will help the Queen Mother for you now. Go for it.”

In the final analysis, Seng Gelinqin was a loyal minister.

His loyalty to the emperor extended to the young emperor and the two queen mothers.

So, he asked: "What is your plan?"

"Rong Lu, you said you should be honest." Seng Gelinqin said: "If you want to pull me onto the warship, you must tell me all your next plans."

Ronglu said: "If I tell you the plan, it will be like putting myself on the chopping board, and I may be at your mercy in the future. If you tell Sushun the plan, the Queen Mother may be fine, but I, Ronglu , basically it’s over.”

"but……"

"I believe in Monk King, and I am willing to put my life in your hands."

"In this environment full of suspicion, someone must be honest, even though it may lead to being broken into pieces. But... I am willing to give my honesty, and I am willing to put my life in the hands of the Monk King."

"I need to convince you first and calm your heart, Monk King. Then I will go to lobby Prince Gong."

"In this way, we have the auxiliary prince in our hands, and we also have military power. Next, we will launch a coup and implore the queen mothers of the two palaces to listen behind the curtain."

Hearing this, Seng Gelinqin's body trembled slightly.

I really didn't expect Ronglu to be so honest.

Ronglu continued: "This is my plan. King Monk, how can we cut off the Queen Mother's intention to lure Su Yi as a foreign aid? How can we completely eliminate Su Yi? We must first eliminate the hidden danger in the Queen Mother's heart, and her hidden danger is What? That’s to succumb to one party.”

"As long as the Sushun party poses a huge threat to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother will really want to lure Su Yi as a foreign aid."

"King Monk, the three of us are naturally of the same party. Why do you want to get involved with Sushun and others?"

Seng Gelinqin fell into silence and said, "Then what if the Queen Mother settles accounts with my Queen?"

Rong Lu said: "Why does the Queen Mother want to settle accounts with you? This vicious rumor was obviously concocted by Sushun's party, just to tear down our iron triangle. Once Sushun's party members have fallen, why does the Queen Mother want to settle accounts with you? She and you have Is there any conflict of interest? Will you offend her authority? Let me tell you a heart-breaking statement. In the future, Prince Gong may have conflicts with the Queen Mother, but you will not have any conflicts with the Queen Mother."

"We and the Queen Mother, if we work together, we will both benefit, and if we separate, we will suffer two harms."

Senggelinqin's balance suddenly began to shift greatly.

Historically, he also chose to side with the two queen mothers.

This is a completely natural position for him.

Ronglu said: "King Monk, what are you still worried about? What are you still hesitating about? Do you really want the Queen Mother to bring Su Yi as a foreign aid into the center?"

"Do you know what is the biggest political space for Su Ye now? It is the conflict between the two empress dowagers and the Sushun party. As long as the two factions open a huge gap, then Su Ye will have room to intervene."

"And we must cut off any possibility of him now. As long as we help the Queen Mother eliminate Sushun's party, Su Yi will forever lose the opportunity to enter the center."

"Why can't you see something so clear?"

Seng Gelinqin was caught in a life and death decision.

Without saying a word, Ronglu drew his sword and handed it to Seng Gelinqin.

"King Monk, now you face two choices, either follow me to see the Queen Mother, be loyal to the Queen Mother, and cut off all political space for Su Yi."

"Either you continue to collude with Sushun, in which case I will definitely die. Then you might as well kill me in advance and it will be over. I don't want to see a scene in the future where our reputation will be ruined and our family will be destroyed."

Then, Ronglu put the sword directly into Seng Gelinqin's hand, and placed the blade on his neck.

Then, close your eyes and wait for death.

After a long while, Seng Gelinqin yelled: "Come on, you Ronglu is a loyal minister, and I, Seng Gegelinqin, am also a loyal minister. In order to eradicate Su Yi and for the country and the country, why did the Emperor's decree require me, Prince Horqin's Mansion, to put a family under his control?" My life is on the line, I will fight with you."

Ronglu took a long breath.

This is done!

He and Seng Gelinqin were the ones in control of the military. As long as they stood by the Queen Mother's side, Sushun and others could not make a difference.

It will definitely not leave any room for Su Yi to get into the center.

"Let's go, Monk King." Ronglu said happily: "I will take you to see the Queen Mother. I will guarantee with my life that the Queen Mother will definitely give you things that Sushun may not be able to give you."

"Let's make a decision first, destroy Sushun first, and then Su Yi."

"First let the empress dowagers of the two palaces listen to politics behind the curtain, and then eliminate Su Yi."

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

A few days later!

Jiujiang!

The young eunuch Gui'er told Su Yi everything in detail.

Not a single word was left behind, not even every subtle expression of the Queen Mother was left behind.

Su Yi fell into a long silence, still thinking.

"Boom boom boom..."

There was lightning and thunder outside.

Su Yi entered the courtyard, not allowing anyone to approach, and then he took out his tablet to surf the Internet.

He told everything he knew in detail.

The small group fell into silence.

After a long while, the eighth sister said: "Awesome."

Ying Nian Zao Bald said: "Awesome, the index of internal fighting among these people is too strong."

Negative Bamei said: "Cixi's thoughts are very obvious. She doesn't want to put her destiny in Su Yi's hands. She wants to gain absolute power first, and then even if she leads Su Yi into the center, it will be a gift. To do so. Take the absolute initiative in this relationship.”

Ying Nian was bald and said: "He needs a lover, a slave. You, Su Yi, can take advantage of her righteousness and be under her wings, but you must first pluck out your own wings."

Negative Bamei said: "To be more precise, she wants to control your life and death. Maybe she will favor you very much, and you will be very passionate about it, but the prerequisite is that she needs to completely control you."

Red flags were planted all over Manqing and said: "Now, it is very simple to break the situation."

Negative Bamei said: "Tell me."

Red flags were planted all over Manqing and said: "Assassinate Seng Gelinqin, or assassinate Ronglu. As long as one of these two people is assassinated, Su Bacun can take the initiative. Empress Dowager Cixi asked Su Yi to enter the center to help him deal with Sushun Waiting for someone.”

Ying Nian Zao Bald said: "Yes, assassinate either of the two. Especially Seng Gelinqin. As long as he is assassinated, the center of the court will fall into complete turmoil and everyone will be in danger. The panicked Empress Dowager Cixi can only It can lead Su Yi into the center."

"agree!"

"agree!"

"agree!"

Everyone in the small group agreed with this opinion and felt that assassinating Seng Gelinqin was the most cost-effective way.

However, Su Yi never expressed his stance.

After a long while, the eighth sister said, "Su Yi, what's your decision?"

Ying Nian Zaobal said: "As long as one of Seng Gelinqin and Ronglu is assassinated, everything will be solved."

Su Yi remained silent.

After a long while, he said: "I... don't want to do this!"

"Assassination is a very useful method, but it will make the center of the imperial court full of disgusting conspiracies."

"It will make the entire center full of dark genes."

"Even if I want to kill them, I have to punish them with a canon, not an assassination!"

"Assassinating Count Elgin was just to vent your anger and had almost nothing to do with the overall political situation."

"Once the overall political situation is involved, I don't want to use assassination anymore."

"At least, I don't want to use assassination to enter the center."

Yingnian Zaobal said: "Su Bacun, there is no solution. Our opponents are too strong in internal fighting. Seng Gelinqin and Ronglu have military power. Although the army is not very powerful, in the existing court, It's completely enough. If the two of them stand next to the Empress Dowager Cixi, there won't be any space for you, and you won't be able to enter the center of the court."

"Even if I enter the center in the future, it will be a gift from the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces."

"Such a political position is very passive, even humble."

Su Yi said slowly: "What is the greatest political capital I have now?"

Ying Nian was bald early and said: "Honor, the great cause of saving the capital and the palace."

Su Yi said: "Yes, so I don't want to live in the political cracks. I also don't need the favor of the two queen mothers. I am waiting for them and hope that they will give me the opportunity to enter the center."

"I want to create my own opportunities to get into the center."

Negative Bamei asked: "How to do it?" (trembling)
Su Yi said slowly: "Lead the army north, enter the center, take the lead, and clear your side!"

"Qing Junzi?!"

"Qingjun side?!!!"

"what……"

Several people in the small group fell into complete shock.

This is completely unplanned.

There were many alternatives, almost every possibility was considered, and solutions were given.

Even though the situation in front of us is confusing and complicated.

However, it still does not exceed the previous deduction range.

And, the same is true for related solutions.

However, among all the solutions, there is no option for Qingjun.

After a long while, the eighth sister said: "Su Yi, now you have lost the chance to Qingjun's side, there is no justice."

Young and bald said: "Yes, it really doesn't exist anymore."

Su Yi said: "No, there is more!"

"It's a very different Qing Jun side, a brilliant Qing Jun side."

"We can establish another center!"

"I will never give up my righteousness and initiative to anyone again, not even the Empress Dowager Cixi."

“We need to abandon our previous cognitive inertia.”

"Even if cooperation is required, absolute initiative must be taken."

"I will never leave my fate to the judgment of others, especially the Empress Dowager Cixi."

"I just flipped the table, no intrigues, no evil spirits!"

Establish another center?

Another kind of Qing Jun side?
After a long while, Negative Bamei said: "Su Bacun, please tell me."

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

A few days later!

The new minister of the British Empire arrives in China.

In addition, Su Yi's ally, Sir Basharley, got his wish and took the position of counselor of the British Empire in the Qing Dynasty.

And Chengde palace.

After countless quarrels and countless disputes.

Because it has been almost a year since the emperor left the capital.

Officials in the capital were flooded with memorials.

It’s been a month since the new emperor ascended the throne, why hasn’t he returned yet?

Could it be that the coffin of Emperor Daxing has always been placed in Chengde, without the need to go to Beijing for officials to pay their respects to his peers?
Shouldn't it be sent to Tangling one day earlier?
Therefore, Gu ordered the nine ministers to draft the edict and the two empresses to use their seals.

Exactly the decree.

The Emperor, the Queen Mothers of the two palaces, and the entire court officially returned to Luan on the ninth day of September.

And at the same time.

Su Yi's new army in Jiujiang gathered again.

Armed to the teeth, it is truly the most elite and powerful force.

With an order, this team once again went north to Beijing!

Complete Su Yi's alternative Qingjun side.

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

Note: I haven’t seen my high school classmates in Shanghai for more than 20 years, so we had dinner together and the pastries were coded in every detail.

It's a little late today, I will definitely update before 10:30 tomorrow. Dear benefactors, can I still ask for a monthly ticket?

The pastries are greatly appreciated, thank you!
