Tuqing: My first love was Cixi

Chapter 25 Su Yi, let me introduce you to a marriage

Su Yi looked at the other party sincerely and said slowly: "There is something I want to say to Brother Yuzhao."

Zhang Yuzhao said: "I am all ears."

Su Yi said: "I am actually not your enemy now, really!"

Su Yi really said this from the bottom of his heart.

The Hunan army killed many people and committed many crimes. Zeng Guofan was not thorough with the Qing court, and so on.

However, the Hunan Army Group still contributed to the true rise of China a hundred years later.

Why did so many heroes who saved the country and the people come from Hunan at the beginning of the [-]th century?Because after the rise of the Hunan Army Group, a large number of talents were sent to study abroad, and they saw the world much earlier than the Qing Dynasty.

But perhaps Zhang Yuzhao at this period could not understand this sentence.

He looked at Su Yi and said: "Your Excellency Su Yi, I am not your enemy, and we are not your enemies either."

Su Yi understood what he said.Not for personal enmity, only for profit.

"Brother Su Yi, say goodbye!" Zhang Yuzhao turned and left.

At this time, someone watching the excitement outside suddenly shouted: "Wen Quxing, when will you enter the court? When will the emperor summon you to consult on politics?"

Su Yi didn't speak, but cupped her hands and returned to the courtyard.

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

After a brief moment of consternation and excitement.

The capital seemed quiet again.

Many eyes were looking at the emperor in the palace.

It has been several days since the outcome of the Battle of Jiujiang came out. How will the emperor treat Su Yi?Will attitudes change?
One day, someone came to visit.

"Master Su Yi, my lord has invited me." It was Chongen who sent someone to invite him.

Su Yi followed him to Chongen's mansion.

Chongen's eldest son went out to greet him personally. After entering the study, there was another person besides Chongen.

Su Yi was slightly stunned.

So beautiful? !

And she was wearing a Han woman's skirt.

The real eyebrows are like distant mountains, the eyes are moist, the skin is jade, and the face is like snow, and it is extremely delicate.

The figure is slim, yet plump.

Around 27 or eight years old, a woman is in her best years.

"Su Yi, this is your eldest sister, do you still remember?" Chongen said.

Chongen and Su Yi are from the same clan and can be considered old relatives. His eldest daughter is not only Su Yi's eldest sister.

Su Yi knew who she was.

Jue Luo Qingqing was married to a Duke of Fengen Town, a member of the royal family.

There were many women among the nobles of the Manchu Qing Dynasty who liked riding horses and bows and arrows, but there were very few women who liked reading.

And the woman in front of her has been regarded as the most talented Manchu woman for a long time.

To be precise, she is the new number one talented woman.

The former most talented woman was her teacher, Gu Taiqing, who was also a member of the Xilin Jueluo clan. She was known as the most talented woman since the founding of the Qing Dynasty. The male was Nalan Xingde and the female was Xilin Taiqing.

The Qingqing in front of me was also very famous, but she was directly defeated when she participated in the palace draft more than ten years ago.

The reason is because he reads too much, is too talented, and looks too beautiful.

From then on, Qingqing became reserved and low-key, and got married two years later.

Although low-key, she is still bold in her heart. For example, she likes to dress in Han Chinese clothes. When her father receives foreign guests, she is also present generously, which is very similar to her teacher.

In fact, the look she looked at Su Yi at this moment was kind, tolerant, and had a hint of investigation.

It's like a gentle older sister looking at her naughty younger brother.

Chongen said: "Su Yi, tell me honestly, is it true or false that you bought credits, bought heads, and escaped from the battle before?"

At the Prince Hui's Mansion, Su Yi said that all this was false and that Zeng Guofan was jealous of the virtuous and had fabricated it to harm him.

Su Yi nodded and said, "It's all true."

Hearing this, Qingqing next to her pursed her lips and smiled. Although it was just a glance from the corner of her eye, it was heartwarming.

Chongen said: "I'm very happy that you tell me the truth. I don't blame you. Young people are like this. It's good to be brave after knowing your shame. Wandering around the gate of hell, you must have gained a lot. As for the inner being, it’s also rejuvenated.”

Su Yi said: "Yes, I think so too."

Chongen was stunned, are you... so rude?

Qingqing next to her couldn't hold back and laughed out loud this time.

Chongen said: "What do you think of the upcoming battle?"

Su Yi said: "Still maintaining the original judgment, the Hubei defenders cannot stop Shi Dakai's troops, and important towns such as Wuxue, Hankou, and Wuchang will fall." Chongen said: "Then what should our army do next?"

Su Yi said: "Definitely resist Shi Dakai's expansion in Hubei and Jiangxi. Hu Linyi defends Hubei and Zeng Guofan defends Jiangxi."

Chongen said: "This is actually just doing nothing."

Su Yi said: "Yes, do nothing, recuperate and restore military strength. More than half of Hubei is still there, the whole of Hunan is still there, and the base camp of the Hunan Army is here. Zeng Guofan will continue to recruit troops and horses, build ships and buy artillery through Luo Bingzhang."

Chongen said: "Just wait, when?"

Su Yi said: "Wait until there is a drastic change within the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom."

Chongen said: "Dramatic change, what drastic change?"

Su Yi said: "Now inside Beijing, a storm is about to come, and fierce conflicts are about to break out. The conflict between the pseudo-Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan and the Eastern King Yang Xiuqing is completely irreconcilable. There are no two days in the sky and no two masters in the people. But at this time, the pseudo-Taiping Heavenly Kingdom There are two masters inside, and there has been a fission at the top of the rebellion. Lin Fengxiang and Li Kaifang’s Northern Expedition, and Shi Dakai’s Western Expedition were the products of internal divisions.”

Chongen said: "Keep talking."

Su Yi said: "Yang Xiuqing is good at domestic affairs and military affairs, but he knows nothing about political skills. Not only did he repeatedly push Hong Xiuquan into despair, but he also offended many high-level officials. He used fear to suppress all the kings of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Hong Xiuquan and The kings are frightened and hate him, so even if there is no drastic change today, it will definitely happen tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. This is an inevitable result."

"Either Yang Xiuqing killed all his opponents, or Hong Xiuquan united with the kings to kill Yang Xiuqing and regain power."

Chongen said: "What if it doesn't change?"

Su Yi said: "Then find a way to send undercover agents to Tianjing, or bribe the rebellious middle and high-level people, and find a way to trigger or advance this drastic change."

After listening to Su Yi's words, Chong En was surprised and even more eye-opened.

Is there such a thing?Can you still do this?
Facts have proved that the Qing court's intelligence work on the Taiping Rebellion was completely rubbish, with a black eye and no knowledge of anything.

Later, Zeng Guofan learned the lesson and began to bribe the middle and high-level officials of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

Chongen said: "Su Yi, I didn't know about your talent until today. I will work hard for you and try to get you back. But you also know that His Majesty personally decreed that you will no longer be used. So it is very difficult to change Chrysostom.”

Of course it is difficult, especially when meeting the emperor Xianfeng.

"I heard that you want to take part in the imperial examination?" Chongen said.

Su Yi said: "Yes."

Chongen hesitated and said: "You haven't studied for a few years. The imperial examination in Shuntian Prefecture is the most difficult. My knowledge is considered to be good among the bannermen."

More than adequate, it is definitely first-class.

"But to be honest, if I were asked to take the imperial examination in Shuntian Prefecture, I don't think I would be able to pass it."

This is the truth.

Su Yi really couldn't pass the exam a hundred times based on his own ability. He couldn't even touch the edge. Even if he studied for ten more years, he wouldn't be able to pass the exam.

The imperial examination of Shuntian Mansion was really too complicated, an absolute hell.

But Zhang Yuzhao, who was originally No. 1, has been killed by him and will no longer take part in all imperial examinations. Su Yi memorized his answer sheet. As long as the test questions remain unchanged, he is almost guaranteed to be No. 1.

Chongen said: "But this is the right path after all. It doesn't matter if you don't pass the exam this time. There is still another subject. You are still young after all. I still have some knowledge, so if you don't mind it, you can come to study with me. . I can also give you some advice on the articles you wrote. If I can’t give you some advice, I can pass it on to your big sister.”

Uh? !

What does it mean?
Lord Chongen, are you worse than your daughter?

Qingqing next to her said: "My father prefers poetry and calligraphy, but I prefer writing articles and learning from the teacher."

So that's what happened. No wonder Chongen asked his eldest daughter to meet Su Yi without avoiding suspicion.

But isn't she married?Why at home and not at the town government palace?

"If there is anything you don't understand about your studies in the future, you can write it down and ask your father to pass it on to me, or ask your sister-in-law to pass it on to me." Qingqing said.

Su Yi said: "You also know my sister-in-law?"

Qingqing said: "We know her, but we don't have a close friendship. She is a strange woman, and I admire her very much."

Okay, Su Yi will often ask for advice in the future. Even if he doesn't like reading, he doesn't plan to study.

Chongen said: "You are taking the right path of the imperial examination. I support you, but I am not optimistic about you, and it is too late. Your current situation is very dangerous. If the emperor does not let go, your future will never be hopeless, so if necessary, Take a shortcut."

shortcut?What shortcut?

The word "shortcut" came out of Mr. Chong'en's mouth, which was really surprising.

Chongen continued: "Our clan is weak and has no talents, so the world is pointing to Seng Gelinqin, a Mongolian, and Zeng Guofan, a Han. If you are promising, we will definitely support you in the promotion."

"It's too tiring to fight alone. We have to stick together. Let's work together to push you and protect you!"

"I didn't act as a matchmaker for you before, but Shen Baozhen broke off the engagement. Then my uncle has the obligation to find another marriage for you, to find a more prominent woman to marry." Chongen said: "You can make some preparations and come out with me later. Look at each other.”

Su Yi was slightly stunned and said, "Uncle, is this a blind date?"

Chong En said: "Yes, half of it is a blind date, and half of it is to form an alliance. Help you come back and help you rise to power."

Then, the serious Chongen rarely smiled and said: "So you have to perform well and don't let others down."
