Tuqing: My first love was Cixi

Chapter 240: Sleeping on the dragon bed! The Queen Mother falls! Great things come true

(It’s been reviewed, I’ll go find the editor)

At this time, there was not a single person within ten meters around Sanxitang.

A dozen maids led by Zhu Sanniang guarded almost every corner.

In Sanxi Hall, after hearing Su Yi's words, Yehenala said angrily: "Shameless."

Su Yi stepped forward, held her in her arms, and said softly: "I just love how serious you look."

The woman closed her eyes tightly, pressed her mouth, and covered it with her hands.

It's like you can sleep if you want, but I was raped by a dog and jumped into a well afterwards.

Su Yi nudged her earlobe.

Her breathing became faster and faster, and her whole body started to turn red.

Su Yi joined the battle with his words and hands, and the offensive was fierce.

He didn't miss any corner. Where did Yehenala go through this battle?

However, when it was time to remove her last defense, she suddenly became alert.

Then, she held it tightly with one hand to prevent it from being pulled off, as if it was the last dignity.

Okay, if you don’t want to talk about it, then don’t talk about it.

Then I'll tear it off more thoroughly.

"Hiss..." There was a sound of cracking silk.

In a moment, Yehenala was completely revealed.

All she saw was a wet stain on the silk cloth. Su Yi put it in front of her and said softly, "Good Zhen'er, look at what this is?"

Yehenala still gritted her teeth and said nothing.

Su Yi gently picked her up and placed her on the desk. The Queen Mother was really quite heavy.

Yehenarashi pinned her tightly and refused to let go.

Su Yi lightly scratched her waist. It tickled her so much that she lost her strength and was instantly separated to the extreme.

Instantly, a breath hit his face.

It is really as beautiful as peaches and plums, fragrant and moving.

Immediately afterwards, Su Yi was swept through the flowers by the strong wind.

Those who can't resist can't help but feel the nectar flowing around.

Almost in just an instant, Yehenala made a sound like crying.

The whole person trembled like rain hitting banana trees.

At this point, it was no longer enough for her to breathe through her nose, so she couldn't help but open her mouth.

Su Yi immediately kissed her.

Suddenly, Yehenarashi tasted himself.

Then, Su Yi said softly: "Empress Dowager, I am going to be rude."

Yehenala frowned, as if to push him away, whimpered, and widened her eyes to the extreme.

At this time, a huge cobra slowly got into the wall of a rock cave thousands of miles away.

Is this endless? Is this endless?
It's obviously the end for me.

At this time, bursts of thunder came from outside.

Immediately afterwards, lightning struck suddenly and there was a loud noise.

There also seemed to be a noise in Sanxi Hall.

To say that it was the sound of crashing waves would be an exaggeration.

If it were the sound of the bamboo joints breaking, it would not be so loud.

This is a sound that is suppressed yet wild, gentle yet ferocious.

It was like a muddy ground in summer, and my bare feet stepped on it very decisively.

A grunt!
The endless mud suddenly buried it.

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

I don’t know how long it took.

It seemed that Yehenala had jumped over the well and was all wet.

Of course, it's possible that a well may have been drilled out.

First on the desk, then on the floor.

Now, she is lying on the ground crying.

The so-called gold bricks are gray, and she is lying on them, shockingly white.

Really like sheep in a field of burnt ashes.

Shockingly white.

Thrilling snow.

And of course the stunning red, slightly tainted by white.

She was still crying, crying like her heart was broken.

Su Yi stepped forward and gently hugged her.

"Don't touch me, you villain." Yehenala cried: "What do you think I am, a prostitute?"

Su Yi gently kissed her tears.

"It happened to be in the late emperor's study. There are no secrets in this world. If word spreads, my reputation will be ruined." The Queen Mother cried: "You men are capable of doing this, and we women deserve to sink into the pool like this."

Su Yi gently held her in his arms. She struggled hard for a while, then lay quietly in her arms and continued to cry.

"I'm so scared, Su Yi..." Yehenala raised her head, looked at Su Yi and said with tears in her eyes: "I've been having nightmares every day these days. I dreamed that the late emperor ordered me to be executed, and that someone rushed to Go into the palace, capture me and burn me to death.”

"What should we do next? Do you think they will secretly plot to rebel? Will they send someone to the palace secretly to assassinate them?"

"Next, won't I have a peaceful life?"

"I only feel that there are enemies everywhere. Standing on a cliff of ten thousand feet, you are forcing me, you are forcing me." Yehenala said: "It's already at this time, and you still come to ruin me. I."

Su Yi said: "Good Zhen'er, you are playing too hard in resisting and welcoming. The next is the most critical moment. There must be a breakthrough in the relationship between the two of us. Between men and women, we have slept with each other for a long time. It’s different.”

"Bah, what's the difference?" Yehenala said: "When I am sixteen or seventeen years old, am I ignorant?"

Su Yi said: "Good Zhen'er, who is better between me and the late emperor?"

"Shut up!" Yehenala covered her ears and said, "If you say such things again, get out of here."

Next, she continued to worry: "Anyway, in the future, if the situation completely deteriorates, you... if you want to escape back to the south, take me with you."

She was really full of fear at this time.

She only felt that she was surrounded by enemies around the capital, and even gave people the feeling that everyone was trying to harm her.

Because, at the most critical moment, she chose to side with Su Yi and endorsed his massacre.

Standing on the opposite side of all the bannermen.

Su Yi was about to speak when suddenly there was a knock on the door outside.

"To report to the Queen Mother, the Emperor will be coming to endorse in two quarters of an hour. Please say hello." This was the voice of Zhu Sanniang, the leader of the palace maids.

"I'm going to die, I'm going to die..." Yehenala, you hurriedly picked up clothes on the ground to wear.

Then he saw a puddle on the ground and whispered, "Are you in there?"

"You are crazy. What will happen if you get pregnant?"

Next, Yehenala worked hard to put on her clothes, and Su Yi also put on her clothes.

But the smell inside couldn't be dissipated.

"Come in." Su Yi said.

Yehenala's face changed. If this smell doesn't dissipate, won't others see through it if they come in?

After a while, Zhu Sanniang came in with several palace maids and brought two large wooden barrels.

Bring incense and towels.

After coming in, he wiped all traces in Sanxi Hall without saying a word.

Use incense to disperse all smells.

Several palace maids said: "My servants are waiting for the Queen Mother to take a bath."

When Su Yi was about to leave, Zhu Sanniang said: "Master Su Yi, it's best to take a bath and burn incense before leaving."

Then, go to another private room.

Su Yi took a bath to wash away the traces and smell on her body.

After a while, Zhu Sanniang walked in.

This woman first worked in the Tiandihui in Guangzhou, then went to Fujian to start a teaching project, and then joined Su Yi's intelligence office.

Now within the palace, some kind of order is maintained and the safety of the two palaces is protected.

Su Yi walked out of the tub, and Zhu Sanniang dressed him meticulously.

She was originally a handsome woman, but after putting on the clothes of a palace maid, she looked a little softer and more gorgeous.

She sorted out Su Yi and Yehenala's intimate clothes, which were stained with various things.

She took a brazier, squatted down, and set fire to all the intimate clothes.

Her figure was already toned, but when she squatted down, her buttocks became even more exaggerated and round.

Zhu Sanniang's face turned slightly red and she said angrily: "Didn't you finish the trouble? Is this happening again?"

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

The next few days!
What Yehenala was worried about didn't seem to happen.

No one continued to riot, and no assassinations occurred.

But the entire atmosphere in the capital was very strange and depressing.

It's like a volcano about to erupt at any time.

After the War Department was established, it took several days to ponder and the first article emerged.

Su Yi's new army in Beijing was reorganized into the First Division of the Imperial Army.

Ronglu's Tianjin New Army was reorganized into the Second Division of the Imperial Army.

Zhang Guoliang, Feng Zicai, and Jing Shou's troops were reorganized into the first, second, and third divisions of the capital's garrison.

In other words, Zhang Guoliang, Feng Zicai, and Jing Shou's troops cannot become the main force for the time being.

Then, the most important details came out.

All the 100,000 people of the Eight Banners in Beijing were abolished.

Fifteen thousand people were selected and recruited into the Empire's New Army. They went to the Empire's New Army Recruitment Office to sign up for a physical examination.

The remaining 85,000 people will be laid off as civilians. In order to make a living for the laid-off soldiers, they will be given a one-year salary for one year.

In the next two years, 80% of the previous salary will be paid each month.

In other words, even after being laid off, you can still get three years of salary.

This condition is already considered very generous, for which the center needs to pay more than 10 million taels of severance pay.

Moreover, even if these Eight Banners soldiers no longer serve as soldiers and become ordinary bannermen, they will still have their salary.

According to the ancestral system, any bannerman who does not serve as an official or soldier cannot engage in production. Anyway, there are hard-core crops.

However, these days will soon be over.

After the military reform is completed, Su Yi will start the next step of reform.

Abolish the flag service and abolish the flag salary.

In other words, the hard-core crops that have lasted for more than 200 years must also be cut off, and all the bannermen must make a living on their own.

However, this involves people's livelihood, so Su Yi will be very careful.

Because there are hundreds of thousands of bannermen in Jingcheng alone, and there will only be more if we add places.

There need to be enough job opportunities to carry out this reform.

Of course, if you don't want to do the work assigned to you and still lie down waiting for the hard-core crops, don't blame Su Yi for being rude.

If we want to reform, we must reform it thoroughly.

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

Next, the center needs to spend a lot of money.

The dismantling of the Eight Banners' Beijing Camp requires money, and the creation of the new imperial army of three divisions requires money.

Purchasing a large amount of weapons and equipment to redress the three garrison divisions in the capital requires money.

To establish the Imperial Army Academy, money is needed.

Of course, Su Yi already has enough outstanding instructors at this time, but he will still hire a small number of foreign instructors.

We cannot rest on our laurels and need to follow the trends of world wars at all times.

Therefore, the amount of silver that needs to be taken out at once exceeds more than 20 million taels.

Jiujiang Economic Experimental Zone can only provide part of it because it is also in the expansion period and needs to retain enough funds.

Moreover, the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau has also started construction, which requires a huge amount of money and the import of a large amount of machinery and equipment.

Therefore, part of the remaining money needs to be obtained from the General Taxation Department, and part of it needs to be borrowed from foreign banks.

However, because Li Taitai, the chief tax officer, did not recognize the Prime Minister's Yamen, he withheld the money and the accounts.

This day!
Huashana, the assistant minister of the Prime Minister's Yamen, entered the General Taxation Department with dozens of officials.

"The Queen Mother has a decree!"

"Remove Li Taitai from the post of Chief Taxation Officer and appoint Hurd as the new Chief Taxation Department."

"This is the Queen Mother's decree, and this is the dismissal order from the Prime Minister's Yamen."

Huashana handed over this document and said: "Sir Li Taitai, you have been dismissed. From now on, you are no longer the Chief Tax Secretary."

Li Taitai said coldly: "Your Qing government has no right to remove me, and the Prime Minister's Office has no right to remove me. Only London has the power."

Immediately afterwards, Sir Basili, the counselor of the British Empire's Legation in the Qing Dynasty, walked in and said: "Sir Li Taitai, I have a warrant here."

Li Taitai sneered: "Is this a warrant to remove me?"

Basharli said: "That's not the case. This is Prince Albert and the head of the Foreign Secretary. It says that regarding the position of the Qing General Taxation Department, the British Empire will fully respect the opinions of the Qing Central Committee."

Then Basharri handed over the document.

It was even a handwritten document, but it had the signatures of Prince Albert and the Foreign Secretary.

On the London side, since the five-year delay in the Yangtze River waterway was exchanged for the huge benefit of building a navy for the Qing Dynasty, the candidate for the chief tax officer was just a favor.

For London, there is no difference between Lee Thailand taking over and Hurd taking over.

The selection of the General Taxation Department was very important to the Qing court, but for London, as long as he was British, it would be enough.

Li Taitai took the document, his hands trembling slightly, and roared: "You will regret it, you will definitely regret it."

Then he left in anger.

At this point, Li Taitai, who had been in charge of the Taxation Department for six years, finally left, and Hurd became the new Chief Taxation Department.

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

After Hurd took office, he immediately went to Beijing with his accounts to report to the Prime Minister's Yamen.

Wearing the third-rank official uniform of the Qing Dynasty, he skillfully saluted Su Yi and said: "I am the official Hude, and I pay my respects to the Prime Minister."

"The official is here to submit last year's taxes, which total 4.96 million taels of silver."

Historically, the total customs tax in 1861 was million taels, which is a little more in this world.

"Here are the relevant accounts."

Hurd opened the books one by one, placed them in front of Su Yi and said: "Prime Minister, I fully suspect that there is shocking corruption in this. It may be out of greed or incompetence, but the money handed over to the Prime Minister's Yamen is absolutely It shouldn’t be this number.”

Su Yi also knew more than that.

After Hurd took charge of the General Taxation Department, he immediately carried out drastic reforms and adopted vertical management on a large scale.

In just a few years, the General Taxation Department became one of the most honest departments in the entire Qing Dynasty, and the amount of tax paid increased significantly.

Of course, things have changed now.

The development of the Suyi Jiujiang Economic Experimental Zone will be followed by the launch of a comprehensive Westernization Movement.

Therefore, in some aspects, the Qing Dynasty's import of foreign-related goods will decrease because many goods can be produced by themselves.

But on the other hand, the import of related equipment will increase greatly.

Moreover, after the development of industry, domestic economic activities will be greatly improved, even if it is to meet the needs of domestic life, a large number of foreign goods will be imported.

According to Su Yi's plan, it is necessary to maintain a certain surplus, but imports do not need to be severely suppressed.

What comes and goes lasts forever.

Therefore, customs taxes may be higher than in history in the future.

After a brief exchange of greetings, Hurd handed over a thick book and said: "Prime Minister Su, I have great admiration and admiration for your drastic reforms. Thinking again of the corruption and backwardness of the customs agencies at all levels, The official couldn't help but feel sad."

"As a result, I learned from my experience and wanted to follow Prime Minister Su's example and reform and trim customs agencies at all levels. This is a very immature idea on my part. Please correct me, Prime Minister Su."

You're an Englishman, and you're really good at speaking Chinese.

Su Yi took it over and looked at it carefully.

Hurd didn't speak at first, letting Su Yi look carefully.

When Su Yi read it quickly for the first time and then read it carefully for the second time, Hurd added on the side: "Prime Minister Su, I feel that the General Taxation Department and the customs agency must be completely independent and cannot be controlled by each other. Kidnapped by high-level officials, they cannot even be affected."

"Also, make sure this is not a bureaucracy but an agency."

"Externally, it is an institution that serves all businessmen, and internally, it is an institution that serves the imperial court and the Prime Minister's Office."

"So traditional bureaucrats are not suitable in this place. The lower official feels that it is necessary to conduct professional examinations. Even the lower official's relatives, or the relatives of Sir Bruce and Sir Basari, are no exception. Anyone who enters the customs "Everyone who enters the Taxation Department must take the most professional examination."

"We must be extremely strict against corrupt elements. I will negotiate with London to ensure that the Prime Minister's Office and the General Taxation Department have sufficient power to deal with corrupt elements. Whether it is fines or imprisonment, there should be no diplomacy involved." above."

"In addition, only a sufficiently high salary can create a sufficiently clean team."

Hurd was completely eloquent, explaining his reform plan in detail.

In fact, at this time, there was another Acting General Taxation Secretary, Francis, who seemed a bit slow and reserved.

Although he also expressed his willingness to obey the leadership of the Prime Minister's Yamen, he did not even come to the capital to meet Su Yi, let alone make any move to seek refuge.

After finishing speaking, Hurd looked at Su Yi expectantly.

In his opinion, his professionalism is enough to convince the young Prime Minister in front of him and will definitely make Su Ye willing to submit.

Su Yi said: "Your overall idea is very good, but there are a few details that need to be discussed. Leave your reform regulations here with me. I will make some modifications and you can pick them up tomorrow."

Hurd was slightly stunned, and then said: "Yes."

Then, Su Yi suddenly said: "Lord Hart, I heard that you also have a close relationship with the Hunan Army."

Hurd said: "It can't be said to be very close. To a large extent, it is the political legacy of Lee Thailand."

Su Yi said: "Li Taitai helped Li Hongzhang form an army composed of foreigners?"

Hurd said: "Yes, the number is about four thousand."

Su Yi said: "Next, the Central Committee will abolish the Eight Banners Beijing Camp and form the Imperial Central Army. It will probably require a loan of 15 million taels of silver."

Hurd said: "This is my honor. I am very willing to make the connection and act as a guarantee."

Let the General Taxation Department guarantee it, not the Jiujiang Economic Experimental Zone.

Su Yi added: "According to my opinion, it is not convenient for the General Taxation Department to be in Shanghai. When do you think the entire organization will move to the capital?"

Hurd said: "Your Excellency is really worried about what I am worried about and thinks about what I want. I think the sooner the better, so that I can come often to greet you and report on my work."

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

The next day, Hurd came to the Prime Minister's Yamen early to visit Su Yi.

Su Yi handed over the revised customs reform regulations.

Hurd accepted it respectfully, with some contempt in his heart. Of course he knew Su Yi's abilities, but he was the professional in customs and taxation, and Su Yi's field of knowledge should not be involved.

The so-called modification of regulations is just a way for Shangguan to show his authority.

To put it more directly, I just don’t know how to pretend to understand. But Hurd was also willing to support her. Even if Su Yi's writing was useless, he would still praise her without conscience. But after taking it, Hurd couldn't help being stunned.

Regarding his reform regulations, Su Yi revised them very carefully and professionally.

Whether it's organizational downsizing, recruitment exams, or salary structures.

Su Yi gave the most professional instructions and modifications.

It’s simply unimaginable. How many years has it been since the Qing government owned the customs agency? The knowledge in this area should be blank.

Are there really geniuses in this world who are born with knowledge?
Hurd said: "Prime Minister Su, I am convinced. I am completely convinced."

For a moment, he was not only admired, but also feared.

The next thing about the General Taxation Department is probably not going to be able to fool the Prime Minister in front of me. After all, I have to be more obedient.

Although Hart in history did well, he was still contemptuous and deluded towards the Qing court, even though he was loyal on the surface.

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

The next day, the court meeting!
British Minister Bruce and French Minister Grotto formally came to the court and submitted their credentials to Prime Minister Su Yi.

Then, diplomats from the two countries officially entered Dongjiaominxiang.

Immediately afterwards, the funds from all parties also arrived.

Then, countless carriages arrived on the outskirts of Beijing.

The two capital garrison divisions led by Zhang Guoliang and Jing Shou carried out a comprehensive change of equipment and strengthened their force.

Regarding this point, Su Yi's people strongly expressed that only Zhang Guoliang's first garrison division should be redressed, and not Jing Shou's troops. They were not their own people.

If you change their clothes and Jingshou becomes his enemy in the future, won't he make his enemy stronger?

But in the end, the collective dress-up was completed.

At this time, there were a total of four armies in the capital.

Su Yi's new army, the three regiments of the Army's First Division, totaled 4,000 people.

Ronglu's Tianjin New Army, the Second Division of the Imperial Army, totaled nine thousand people.

Zhang Guoliang and the 1st Beijing Guard Division led by Feng Zicai had a total of 16,000 people.

The second garrison division led by Jing Shou had a total of 15,000 men.

Jing Shou was the consort of the Qing court and a staunch imperialist.

After the change of clothes was completed, the Jiumen Admiral's Office announced that the capital would be under curfew, tentatively for one month.

Then, nearly 50,000 troops began to defend to the death.

There are military patrols on the streets all the time.

Su Yi's intelligence department began to move around.

All key figures must be targeted.

All people entering and leaving the capital began to register.

All the soldiers of the original Eight Banners Beijing Camp stayed in their original barracks and were not allowed to leave the camp even half a step.

Anyone who leaves the camp will be regarded as treason and will be killed immediately.

Because the most critical moment is coming.

Great disarmament.

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

A few days later, the Yamen of the Ministry of War was formally established.

After becoming Prime Minister, Su Yi once again served as Minister of War.

above the hall.

Queen Mother Yehenara's face was frosty and she said coldly: "Since the abolition of the Beijing camp has been decided, it is a national policy."

"If you understand, you must implement it. If you don't understand, you must implement it."

"The Ai family has said that there will be a large-scale disarmament and there can be no chaos."

"Whoever causes trouble will be killed."

"Whoever dares to cause trouble will be killed."

The Queen Mother of the West spoke decisively, while the beautiful face of the Queen Mother Ci'an next to her trembled slightly, but in the end she said nothing.

"Ronglu." Yehenala said.

Ronglu came out of the queue and said, "My servant is here."

"Jingshou."

Jing Shou came out and said, "I'm here."

"Zhang Guoliang."

Zhang Guoliang came out and said: "I am here!"

Yehenala said: "Next, the entire capital will be handed over to you."

"Great events require heavy ceremony!"

"Remember one sentence, it's time for great disarmament. Anyone who dares to jump out will be shot to death!"

"Hey!" Several people bowed.

The Queen Mother said: "The Eight Banners Capital Camp will be dismantled, starting tomorrow!"

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

next day!

Great disarmament has officially begun.

Each Beijing camp was guarded by heavily armed troops.

The soldiers of the Eight Banners Beijing Camp had already completed disarming.

The so-called disarmament is more of a ritual.

Every Eight Banners soldier and general must come forward to sign.

He expressed his willingness to obey the orders of the central government, receive Anjia's money, and give up his military position.

After everyone signs, they will get a money order.

Money order on Northern Bank.

This bank contained shares of merchants from Shanxi Bank, but the real control was Su Yi's Southern Bank.

With this money order, you can withdraw one year's salary at once.

Next, I will receive 80% of my salary every month for two years.

Of course, once it is discovered that this Eight Banners soldier has any treasonous behavior, this money will be cut off immediately.

On the other side is the empire's new army recruitment office.

According to Su Yi's memorial, three new divisions of the Central Army will be formed this time, totaling 30,000 people.

There must be half-mast flags.

However, not many people went to the recruitment office to sign.

Su Yi went to the disarmament site in person, and he could feel the strong hatred and suppressed hatred.

Whether they were frustrated or resentful, after this group of people were disbanded, they were unwilling to serve the new Imperial Army.

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

But on the second day.

Suddenly, more people went to the recruitment office.

And they were all young and strong men from the Eight Banners.

Obviously, someone secretly gave the order.

If no one signs up for the new army, all of the 30,000 soldiers may be recruited as Han Chinese, which is equivalent to losing the share and authority of the future empire's new army.

Obviously, the Eight Banners were unwilling to lose military power in this period.

It is planned to take a certain initiative in the future Imperial Army.

But there is no doubt that the scene where Boyan and Su Yi competed for control of the new army in Tianjin will not happen again.

Within the next few days.

The atmosphere in the capital is still depressing, even terrifying.

However, it was still like a brewing volcano that never erupted.

Throughout the entire disarmament process, although the extremely hateful looks of nearly 100,000 people could not be concealed,... it was finally completed.

No one was causing trouble, no one was causing trouble.

In fact, in a sense this is also bad news.

It is normal for some people to make trouble and some people to cause chaos, which means that this group of Eight Banners soldiers has become scattered.

During the entire disarmament process, everyone suppressed their hatred and anger and still completed the disarmament obediently.

It means that there are still people commanding this group of people, and they are dormant.

The entire court process is like this.

Many banner ministers are still working and attending court.

But it was obvious that there was an invisible gap in the middle, and the court fell into a chilling and cold atmosphere.

Even the Queen Mother of the two palaces felt isolated.

The attitude of countless banner ministers was indifference and obedience.

The choice of all Han ministers is neutrality.

Of course, many people are actually waiting for the price.

I hope Su Yi can win over others, appoint officials and make wishes, etc.

But Su Yi did not do this at all, and continued to maintain the operation of the center in this cold confrontation.

Everything is going on in an orderly manner.

Next, more than 40,000 new soldiers have been recruited.

Among them, there are 23,000 Han people and 17,000 Banner people (including 6,000 Mongolians).

Following the orders of the two palaces, Su Yi's 6,000 troops in Tianjin marched outside the capital and escorted 40,000 people to the Tianjin Military Station.

Su Yi stood on the city wall and watched forty to fifty thousand people leaving in a mighty manner, heading towards Tianjin.

After a while, he took a long breath.

This most critical step was finally taken.

He once told Zuo Zongtang that the time window for major disarmament is very, very short, only a few months.

At this point, it was finally completed during this precious window period.

But, the next few months to a year.

This is the most dangerous moment.

This is also the moment when the center is most vulnerable.

Because the new Imperial Army has not yet been trained, these tens of thousands of people have no home.

But the entire center is surrounded by crises, and the entire country is like a powder keg that can explode at any time.

According to Su Yi's judgment, this time next year, there will be wars everywhere.

Zuo Zongtang said: "Sir, just give us one year to train these 30,000 new imperial army troops and completely focus on them. Then we will have nothing to fear. By then we will have completed nirvana."

"Just give us one year, just one year!"

"At that time, even if there are any monsters in the capital, we will have no fear at all."

you do not say.

The next time is the most critical moment.

The night before emerging from the cocoon and becoming a butterfly.

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

Inside the Changchun Palace.

"What are they waiting for?" Yehenala said.

Su Yi said: "They are dormant, waiting for the situation to change."

Yehenara asked: "What has changed in the situation?"

Su Yi said: "The world is in chaos."

Yehenara shivered and said: "The world will be in chaos? When?"

Su Yi said: "According to my calculation, it will probably be next year."

Yehenala asked: "How big of a chaos will it be?"

Su Yi said: "There are smoke and wars everywhere."

Yehenala said: "At that time, our imperial army had already been trained, right?"

Su Yi said: "It should be."

Yehenala said: "How chaotic will it be at that time?"

Su Yi said: "There will probably be a million troops fighting."

"An army of one million?" Yehenara shivered, almost in disbelief.

In the past decades or hundreds of years, there has never been a chaotic battle involving millions of troops.

"By the way, the news just came that Hu Linyi is dead." The Queen Mother said: "Who should give this Jiangxi Chief Envoy? Is it to someone else, or is it still to the Hunan Army faction?"

Su Yi thought for a while and said, "Let's still give it to the Hunan Army."

Then, Yehenala said: "Recently, there is something a little wrong with the one on the east side."

Su Yi said: "What's wrong?"

Yehenala said: "She doesn't agree with us very much."

"She has a soft personality and is easily influenced by others." Yehenala said: "Basically she is the worst, her heart is biased towards whichever side she is."

This couldn't be more true.

At that time, Su Yi brought Empress Dowager Ci'an and the Emperor back to the capital. He behaved very humbly and softly. In addition, Empress Dowager Ci'an had a halo over him, so she favored his side.

Yehenala said: "Last time, you massacred the Eight Banners soldiers, which greatly stimulated her."

Su Yi said: "You chose to stand by me at that time. What was the attitude of the Queen Mother and the Empress Dowager?"

Yehenala said: "She wakes up from nightmares many times, and her attitude is always very negative. I come from a small family, and her Niu Hulu is different. Like many Eight Banners nobles, their bones are broken and their tendons are connected. , many people come to cry every day. Many of the three or four thousand people you killed last time were her distant relatives."

"And she doesn't like to take care of things, but she still has a very traditional mindset. Your dismantling of the Eight Banners Army is too subversive for me. For her, it is even more subversive."

Su Yi asked: "How is your relationship with her recently?"

Yehenala said: "She has become a lot lighter inexplicably. Sometimes she can avoid me."

Then, her eyes turned red and she said, "I'm on your side. Now I'm fine. I'm a real loner."

Su Yi couldn't help but hold her in her arms.

Yehenala also lay softly in Su Yi's arms.

Su Yi's hand couldn't help but penetrate it.

"What do you want to do again?" The Queen Mother grabbed Su Yi's hand and said coldly.

Su Yi said: "It's been a long time since last time, don't you think about it?"

"What a ghost, you are like an animal and don't care about the life or death of others. How happy do you think I will be?" Yehenala gave Su Yi a hard look and said, "I had a stomachache for several days afterwards."

Su Ye said: "Then I will be gentler this time."

"This time won't happen again." The Queen Mother said angrily, "I don't want to see you anymore. Just go out of the palace now."

Su Yi said: "Good Zhen'er, I'm leaving Beijing soon."

Yehenala's face changed and she said: "You want to leave Beijing, where are you going?"

Su Yi said: "Go to Tianjin to train troops."

Yehenala said: "Where do you need to go in person? Aren't there many instructors? Your main army is also there."

Su Yi said: "Half of these 30,000 to 40,000 soldiers are bannermen, full of deep-seated hatred for us. I need to teach them personally and make them return to their hearts. Moreover, I am the principal of the Imperial Army Academy, and I need to personally lead a group of soldiers." Excellent officers."

"No, no!" cried Yehenala, "What should I do if you leave? What should I do?"

"You killed so many of them and cut off all their jobs. I also endorsed your decree. Now they hate me together." The Queen Mother cried: "Only when you are in the capital can I sleep peacefully. . If you leave, I might be harmed by them one day.”

"No." Su Yi said softly: "Rong Lu's army and Zhang Guoliang's army are in the capital, aren't they?"

The Queen Mother said: "Only when you are here can we suppress them. And now that they are all hiding, we don't know which one will rebel. You don't know. I suspect that the late emperor still has a hand to deal with me. I know that person best." ”

"No, you can't leave, you must not leave." The Queen Mother said firmly.

Next, the clothes on the Queen Mother disappeared unconsciously.

She no longer said harsh words or resisted.

Just keep your head down and acquiesce.

However, when Su Yi tried to make her look like a puppy, she started to fight.

"No, this won't work..."

"What do you think I am?"

But Su Yi was so strong that she couldn't move even if he held her down.

Then, a red streak split into the sky, and two white clouds filled the sky.

The Queen Mother's cold face was buried in the quilt, and she cried: "You just fuck me, you will fuck me."

"Then are you leaving? Are you going to Tianjin?"

Su Yi stepped forward and said softly: "Empress Dowager, who is stronger, me or the late Emperor?"

The Queen Mother said angrily: "If you say such words again, I will crash to death in front of you."

"Do you think you are so powerful? Are you so proud of yourself? Do you think that all women can take advantage of you?"

"I'm very annoyed, and I'll torment people. It's painful and uncomfortable, and I don't feel comfortable at all."

A duplicitous woman.

When I was in the clouds, I forgot about it when I was screaming.

At this time, Empress Dowager Ci'an of the East Palace walked into the Changchun Palace with a serious expression.

First of all, Andehai's expression changed.

He immediately knelt down and said, "My slave, please see the Queen Mother."

Zhu Sanniang, who was watching the wind outside, immediately rushed inside.

Empress Dowager Ci'an seemed to have ignored the eunuch who was kneeling on the ground, and still walked hurriedly towards the Changchun Palace, holding a booklet in her hand.

Zhu Sanniang could no longer care about her dignity and rushed directly into the room.

Then, I saw this scene in front of me.

Even though it was expected, the scene had a huge impact.

The noble and young Queen Mother actually also has... such a posture?

When Yehenala saw Zhu Sanniang rushing in, she was immediately ashamed and angry.

His whole body began to tremble violently.

I was speechless for a moment.

Ever since, Zhu Sanniang saw Qijing'er again.

The pitter patter.

Zhu Sanniang quickly reported: "The Queen Mother, the Queen Mother is here, walking in a hurry, with a face full of indignation."
