Tuqing: My first love was Cixi

Chapter 290 Overlord’s posture! Ci’an is pregnant!
There was really nothing Su Yi could do for this regent prince.

Historically, Dorgon was the regent, followed by Zaifeng who was also the regent. Even Dorgon was not the only regent at that time. He was awarded the title together with Prince Zheng Jierhalang.

Dorgon belongs to this dynasty and is not too far away, so it is really easy to put the two people together.

Everyone is even thinking that if Dorgon's fate was like this back then, what will be Su Yi's fate now?

Even Dorgon was posthumously named emperor by Emperor Shunzhi, but he was liquidated again not long after.

Therefore, in some people's minds, Prince Regent is not even a particularly auspicious name.

And the situation in front of us is so similar, Dorgon slept with the Queen Mother, and Su Yi also slept with the Queen Mother.

After Prince Gong Yi finished speaking, Prince Yi Zaiyuan couldn't help but look towards Su Yi to see if he objected to this title. Seeing Su Yi's indifferent expression, he also bowed and said: "To the Queen Mother, King Yijun is of unparalleled achievements. I also think that being a non-regent prince is not enough to show his merit."

"My slave seconded the motion!"

"My slave seconded the motion!"

"I second the proposal!"

"I second the proposal!"

The officials of the Su Yi faction had not yet come forward to say anything, but the bannermen and dignitaries present came out one after another.

Including Ronglu, Jingshou and others.

Obviously, too many banner ministers were afraid of being liquidated and regarded this as their last opportunity for speculation.

Yehenala looked at Prince Dun Yibi and said, "Fifth Master, what do you think?"

Yi Pei has a reckless temperament, and he always says what he thinks.

Empress Dowager Ci'an asked: "Master Qi, what do you think?"

Lao Qi Yixuan, on the other hand, is much more prudent. To put it mildly, he means he knows the basics, but to put it unpleasantly, he means he is cowardly.

Upon hearing the Empress Dowager Ci'an's roll call, Prince Chun Yixuan said: "My slave, my slave seconded the motion!"

Then, Ci'an and Cixi looked at each other.

"That's it, it's settled."

"Draft a decree to confer Su Yi as the Prince of Heshuoyi County and concurrently the Prince Regent."

Su Yi came out of the queue and said, "My lord, please accept the order and thank me."

Next, there are rewards for other personnel.

For example, Seng Gelinqin, Lin Qirong, Chen Yucheng, Lai Wenguang, etc. There are more than a hundred people on the list of awards for this battle.

In addition, someone in the court petitioned that Su Yi had been promoted to Prince Regent, so the original residence was no longer suitable, so they requested that Prince Zheng Duanhua's residence be given to Su Yi.

As a result, Su Yi refused.

Then, Prince Gong Yi came out and asked to give up his Prince Gong's mansion.

After all, among the houses in the capital, Prince Gong's Mansion is considered to be first-class.

However, Su Yi still refused.

This palace of mine is the original Prince Qing's palace, and it is grand enough. There is no need to change it.

Today in the entire court, the banner ministers were very active, fearing that they would not be able to catch Su Yi's last train.

Almost all of them actively responded to the rewards from Su Yi's faction and enthusiastically supported them.

On the contrary, the Han ministers, except for Su Yi's direct officials, seemed relatively calm.

In other words, detachment.

Li Hongzhang was really right, because if Su Yi wanted to reform the flag affairs and other measures, he would do it with the bannermen.

Whether it is the comprehensive Westernization Movement or other major reform tasks, they all need the support of the Han elite, so they are very calm and have a posture of waiting for a price.

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

When Su Yi returned home, she saw that the plaque had been changed.

Although it is still Prince Yi's Mansion, the specifications of the plaque and the font have also been changed.

"Your Majesty, Prince Gong would like to see you." Zhao Liewen, an aide, came in to report.

Now there are three main staff around Su Yi, Zhao Liewen, Chongqi, and Lin Shaozhang.

Generally speaking, there will be enough tacit understanding.

As a Han Chinese, Zhao Liewen asked him to receive the bannermen. As a bannerman, Chongqi asked him to receive the Han people.

As for Lin Shaozhang, this was to receive the Nian Army, Taiping Army and other power groups.

"Let him in."

After coming in, the two exchanged a few words. At this time, Yi was still very reserved.

However, after Zhao Liewen closed the door and left.

Yi immediately stood up, bowed to Su Yi and said, "Brother, brother is wrong, brother is wrong."

"Prince Regent, this is a wrong position."

"My humble position is short-sighted. I did something wrong before. I shouldn't have taken the initiative to negotiate with the Russians when the battle ahead was going on."

"You shouldn't prevent yourself from coming to Prince Yi's Mansion because of the rumors outside."

"Su Yi, for the sake of you and me being brothers, please spare my brother this time, okay?"

Who is your brother?

You are Aisin Gioro, and I am Jueluo.

Su Yi sat in her seat and said calmly: "Prince Gong, in your heart, do I love killing so much?"

Yidao: "Of course not, of course not. Brother, you are noble and tolerant. It is the banner people who are not living up to expectations. You are flogging them, but you are loving and protecting them."

Su Yi said: "Before Su Liu's misfortune, I went to him, hoping that he would take the initiative to take on the important task of reforming the flag affairs. But he refused and tried to humiliate me at the ancestor worship ceremony, so he was killed. ”

Then, Su Yi said coldly: "Yi, what you said at home some time ago was so unpleasant!"

As soon as these words came out, Yi suddenly trembled and sweated profusely.

I don’t know if Su Yi knew something or if he was deceiving.

Su Yi said: "You said that the mother-in-law and the empress dowager should sink into the pond, which has brought shame to the ancestors and ancestors. The spirits of the ancestors and ancestors are in heaven, why don't you kill me and her with thunder, right?"

As soon as these words came out, Yi immediately knelt down on his knees, trembling all over, and kowtowed desperately: "I was wrong, I was wrong."

"I was blinded by lard, talking nonsense, talking nonsense."

"Su Yi, my good brother, Prince Regent, spare me, spare my brother!"

Seeing Yi's scene, Su Yi couldn't help but think of the world's evaluation of Yi.

This person is considered to be quite capable among the Manchus.

But this man's bones are indeed soft.

He was suppressed by Xianfeng earlier and was about to die.

After Xinyou's coup, he was in a state of confusion and was rude to the empress dowagers of the two palaces. Cixi used some tricks to scare him out of his wits, and he knelt down to beg for mercy.

"But one thing, you are right, I don't like killing people." Su Yi said: "For me, killing is just a means, not an end."

"What do you think you should do to make up for your mistake?"

Su Yi killed Duanhua, Sushun, Mianyu and other top princes, which made his words full of weight.

Are you, Prince Gong, noble?
But weren’t the three people killed earlier noble? Isn't it heavier than you?
Yi trembled and said: "Subordinate, subordinate... I am willing to work hard for the Regent, and I am willing to fight for the Regent on the reform of flag affairs."

Su Yi said slowly: "Then I will remember this sentence."

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

Prince Gong Yi returned to Prince Gong's mansion in despair.

Fujin Guarjia brought him some soothing rice wine and said softly: "What's wrong?"

Yidao: "I, all the curses I said in the palace reached the ears of the regent."

Guarjia said tremblingly: "Who is it? There were only four people present at that time."

Yidao: "God knows who it is? God knows some people are humans or ghosts."

Guarjia said: "Then...can you save your life?"

Yi trembled and said: "I can keep it, but I need to completely break up with the banner people and charge forward to reform the flag affairs."

Guarjia said: "This is the condition Sushun and Duanhua had back then."

Yidao: "Yes, if you don't agree, I will go with them to keep company."

Guarjia said: "Your Majesty, this job is quite good."

"Usually, don't you always have a beautiful chest and talk endlessly? Don't you dislike the late emperor for not doing a good job? Don't you also think that the banner people have no future? It's better now. There is a tall man in front of you. You can also go out and do things.”

Yi felt bitter in his heart, with his wife's tall man standing in front of him. This sentence was really heartbreaking.

For a long time, he felt that he was tall, after all, he almost became emperor at that time.

After all these years, it turns out that he...is not a tall man.

But for some reason, he now inexplicably felt a sense of security.

Sometimes it's nice to be forced to make a choice.

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

At this time, another person knelt in front of Su Yi.

Bao Jun, Minister of Military and Aircraft.

This is the person who snitched in front of Su Yi.

Everything Yi said at home was said by this person.

Su Yi didn't even need him to inform.

This person has a mediocre reputation in history and has some talent, but he is greedy and flashy.

He knelt upright in front of Su Yi and kept asking for forgiveness.

And he was kneeling in the yard.

Su Yi just glanced at him and didn't pay much attention.

After all, he is very busy right now.

………………

There will be a meeting the next day.

There are already a lot of titles in the court.

Including Chen Yucheng, he was awarded the third-class Viscount, which is considered the person with the highest promotion in this battle.

He is taller than the first division Wang Tianyang.

Because in this battle, at the critical moment, his contribution was indeed great.

His Ninth Division also suffered the heaviest casualties.

Chongen was also canonized as a second feudal lord.

However, it was not because of military merit, but entirely because of Su Yi.

Su Yi was the regent, and Qingqing was the first-class Fujin, so as his father, Chongen was named a second-class marquis.

This title is actually very imaginative.

The regent is not a king after all, and your father-in-law does not need to be knighted.

But this time, the queen mothers of the two palaces still found a reason to knight Chongen.

In addition, Su Yi's father and brother's titles have also been promoted this time.

As soon as the court meeting began, Chongen came forward to impeach Prince Gong Yi for his frivolous behavior. He came forward to negotiate with the Russian minister at a critical moment and undermined the morale of the troops at the front.

After hearing this impeachment, Yi felt completely at ease.

Then, he immediately got out of the queue and knelt down and said, "This slave is guilty. Please punish me, Queen Mother."

Cixi said: "Then you will be relieved of your post in the political affairs hall, join the military, and join the flag affairs reform yamen to do errands."

Ci'an said from the side: "Sixth Master, reforming the flag affairs is the top priority of the next state affairs. You must not let it slip, lest the world laugh at Su Ye for having no vision and recommending the wrong person."

Yidao: "It is our duty to reform the flag affairs. I will go through fire and water and do my best."

Next, Army Minister Ronglu came out.

"Replying to the Queen Mother, this slave has his own merits."

Yehenala said: "Say."

"The regent had already formulated a plan for military reform two years ago and divided it into three steps. The first step was to abolish the Eight Banners of the Beijing Camp, the second step was to abolish the Eight Banners of the local camp, and the third step was to abolish the local Green Camp."

"Now, the first two steps have been completed. The facts have proved the regent's foresight, so I think it is time to carry out the third step of military reform and start to dismantle the local green camp."

Yehenala said: "According to the approval, your army yamen should quickly draw up a charter on how to cut off the work and how to cut it. Within half a month, submit this charter to the Political Affairs Hall."

Ronglu said: "I obey the order."

Next, Zhou Zupei came out and said: "To report to the Queen Mother, now, except for the northwest, the world has been pacified. This is all the great contribution of the regent. The policy of comprehensive westernization was formulated at that time, which was also the national policy set by the regent with great foresight. Now is the time to establish the Westernization Yamen.”

"I have requested that Shen Baozhen and Su Quan be jointly appointed as ministers of foreign affairs, and Hu Xueyan and Bai Yan be appointed as assistant ministers."

Ci'an and Cixi said, "Check it out."

After these two wars, all major national policies have almost no resistance to advancement.

Hu Xueyan and Bai Yan were both businessmen. At this time, they were promoted to third-rank officials, which they probably never dreamed of.

After hearing the imperial decree and appointment, the two of them didn't know how ecstatic they would be.

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

When Su Yi returned to the palace, Bao Jun was still kneeling in the courtyard.

He once again passed directly in front of him without looking at the crumbling Baojun.

After passing by, he turned back and asked, "What do you think of those vassal countries?"

Baojun shuddered and said ecstatically: "Korea is closed to the outside world, and its conflicts with foreigners are getting more and more intense. It is time for our country to take action to expel and suppress Christians."

Su Yi said: "How to take action."

Baojun said: "Exerting suzerainty and actually stationing troops, not only the army, but also the navy, will force Goryeo to unilaterally open the door to our country. In the future, when our country's Westernization Movement fully flourishes, you will then control the economic lifeline of this country."

Su Yi said: "Where is Vietnam?"

Baojun said: "Never mind it for now, wait until the French occupy enough places in Vietnam and the King of Vietnam is in danger, then send troops to help, complete the garrison, and carry out economic penetration."

Su Yi said: "Where is the Ryukyu Kingdom?"

Su Yi said: "The Netherlands, France, the United States and other countries have signed unequal treaties with Ryukyu and opened the port of Naha. And because of the invasion of the Satsuma Army of the Shogunate, the Ryukyu Kingdom still appears to be paying tribute to our country. In fact, Japan is more like its Suzerain country.”

"Now, some forces in the United States and the United Kingdom have begun to invest in Japan and even support Japan to fight against our country."

"Japan is a very ambitious country. During the pre-Ming Dynasty, Toyotomi Hideyoshi attacked Goryeo and tried to use Goryeo as a springboard to invade China."

"Therefore, we must defeat Japan completely before it rises. The Ryukyu Kingdom becomes the best reason."

Su Yi glanced at him, you know a lot.

"During this period, I learned from my experience and borrowed a lot of textbooks from the Army Academy and the Prime Minister's Foreign Affairs Office, so I was able to keep up with the prince."

Su Yi looked at Bao Jun and felt quite useless.

However, the treasure in front of me seemed to be more meaty than chicken ribs.

Ugh!
Su Yi said: "You have been relieved of your current positions, including the minister of military aircraft. You will go to the Prime Minister's Foreign Affairs Yamen to be an assistant minister, and you will be demoted to... the fourth rank."

Immediately, Baojun knelt down and kowtowed: "Slave, I would like to thank you for your kindness."

"This slave will not give up even if he dies."

Su Yi waved his hand and said, "Go back."

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

Next, everything was in full swing.

Shen Baozhen had followed Su Yi for many years and finally entered the center.

Minister of Foreign Affairs, Minister of Military Aircraft, and Minister of Household Affairs.

After Yi was dismissed from his post in the Political Affairs Hall, Ruilin was appointed as his replacement.

At this point, the ministers who discuss government affairs are the regents Su Yi, Seng Gelinqin, Ruilin, Jiao Youying, and Zhou Zupei.

There are no more opponents in this highest authority.

Jiao Youying and Zhou Zupei are not considered members of Su Yi's faction, but they are more like mascots. There is no suitable candidate in Su Yi's faction, so they are allowed to take advantage of it first.

Flag service reform.

Abolish local green camps.

Carry out Westernization in an all-round way.

Three major events, happening in parallel.

And, it went very smoothly.

In particular, the reform of flag affairs was the biggest and most intense matter. But after so many years of pulling and killing so many people, I have made enough mental preparations.

Therefore, the resistance is now almost negligible.

Five people, Yi, Zaiyuan, Chongen, Tian Yugong, and Woren, revised it six times and finally settled on the final details.

Then it was handed over to the Political Affairs Hall.

After Su Yi approved it, he submitted it to the two empress dowagers.

Empress Dowager Ci'an still didn't look at it. She directly took out the imperial reward seal and stamped it on Su Yi.

After Empress Dowager Cixi took it, in addition to stamping it, she also wrote two words: "Approval".

At this point, the flag affairs reform has completely formed a national policy.

And, implement it immediately. For this reason, Su Yi even allocated an entire division of troops to the Flag Service Reform Yamen.

It's still Chen Yucheng's ninth division.

This is terrifying. Most of the Ninth Division are from the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom army, and they hate the bannermen the most.

I wish you would jump out to oppose and make trouble, so they could kill.

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

Inside Zhongcui Palace!

Ci'an was crying because her period was coming again.

"I definitely can't get pregnant. It's been several months since you came back this time. You calculated the time exactly every time and did everything, but there's still no joy."

Then, full of suspicion, she took out the imperial reward seal, which was given to her by Emperor Xianfeng.

"Maybe it's because of it. This is his thing, I shouldn't keep it."

"Maybe it's what stopped me from getting pregnant."

She is suspicious of ghosts and ghosts, and everything is in danger.

"Take it, keep it, I don't want this thing anymore." The little queen mother's white hands directly handed the seal to Su Yi.

what? !

This, this symbolizes the highest power.

This is what the late Emperor has entrusted to you to make the final decision.

If it were replaced by Yehenala, then this would be a kind of temptation.

But the Ci'an in front of him was not a temptation.

Su Yi took the thing and played with it.

Mrs. Niu Hulu snuggled into her arms and said softly: "When are you going to take down the curtain? I'm a little impatient."

Su Yi said: "It's early."

Niu Hulu said: "Who dares to oppose you now? Just follow the ancestral system. The regent is in charge of state affairs."

Su Yi said softly: "No hurry, no rush."

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

After several months, the news of the victory in the war with Tsarist Russia spread throughout Asia, causing an extremely violent sensation.

The first one to react was Li Shi Gaoli, who almost fell into ecstasy.

Because their closed-door policy was no less than that of the Qing court, and they faced huge pressure from foreigners.

However, the Qing Dynasty, the suzerain country, was weak and lost several battles to foreigners, so it could not become a backer at all.

Unexpectedly, in just a few years, the suzerain country has become powerful?

They actually defeated 60,000 Tsarist Russian troops in the north.

Li Shiying, the ruler of Xingxuan Dayuanjun (father of Emperor Gaozong and Li Xi), immediately sent envoys to pay tribute.

The leader of this envoy was Li Zaimian, the eldest son of Lord Dayuan.

He sent incomparably rich gifts and made the most respectful tributes.

Wen Xiang of the Prime Minister's Foreign Affairs Office received him.

This Li Zaimian brought gold and silver and bribed people everywhere, just because he wanted to see Su Yi.

However, Su Yi never saw him.

It dragged on for more than a month, and he tried his best, using all means, all connections, and all gold and silver.

Finally, he finally met the new strongman who took charge of the power of the Qing Dynasty.

"Young man, please pay homage to the Regent of the Kingdom of Heaven!"

"Prince Regent, thousand years old, thousand years old, thousand years old!"

Su Yi said slowly: "Who are you here on behalf of?"

Li Zaimian trembled and said: "Little man, this little man is here on behalf of the king."

Su Yi said: "Say it again."

Li Zaimian was frightened and began to think about it. At this time in his country, although Li Xi was the king, he did not hold power and was almost a puppet. The power was controlled by his father Da Yuanjun. How similar is this to the Qing Dynasty?
The little emperor Tongzhi had no power, and all the power of the country was in the hands of the regent in front of him.

Immediately, Li Zaimian said: "The villain is here on behalf of my father, Lord Yuan."

In fact, although the man in front of him was the eldest son of Daewuanjun, he gradually became different from his father, because he felt that he did not get what he deserved, and in the future he would gradually join the service of Concubine Min, the wife of the King of Korea.

However, this happened later, and Concubine Min has not yet married Li Xi.

Su Yi said: "What do you want?"

Li Zaimian said: "The French and Americans have repeatedly forced our country to open its doors and used force to intimidate us many times. Our country is weak and weak. Please help us."

When the British and French forces invaded the capital, Goryeo was also shocked and frightened like never before. The West had long used religion to infiltrate the country. After hearing about the fall of the Qing capital, many people in Goryeo hung up crosses in an attempt to gain protection from foreigners.

After Li Xi succeeded to the throne last year and Daewongun came to power, he began the policy of suppressing Christians. Moreover, his methods were much more intense than those of the Qing court. For foreign missionaries, he would directly kill them. They also went on a killing spree against Christians in the country.

Of course, this has not happened yet. According to history, it will happen next year or so.

Then, the French formally invaded Goryeo militarily.

Su Yi thought for a while, nodded and said, "I am very sympathetic to your situation."

"Because our country is also very strict with missionaries, we will also completely ban foreigners from preaching in the country, close all churches, and expel all missionaries."

This is not Su Yi's words, but the focus of the next foreign affairs.

The all-out Westernization Movement involved huge interests of hundreds of millions of taels of silver.

However, all rights to the Yangtze River waterway must be recovered.

All the missionary clauses previously signed must also be withdrawn.

Opium must also be banned entirely.

Obviously, these negotiations are going to be very difficult.

However, no matter what, all these terms must be met.

After hearing Su Yi's words, Li Zaimian was strongly encouraged.

"I am willing to support you on this matter. Just go ahead and do it." Su Yi made decisive remarks.

Li Zaimian was ecstatic. The regent in front of him was indeed a strong man from East Asia, and he was not sloppy at all.

Of course, Su Yi's purpose is not that simple.

First encourage Daewonjun to make him more fierce and decisive and kill more ruthlessly than he has done in history.

In this way, the French will definitely invade Goryeo with a larger-scale military force as they did in history.

By then, the Goryeo Dynasty would be frightened and would ask for help from the Qing Dynasty, and then garrisoning troops would become a matter of course.

As for possible conflicts with the French.

so what? Now he has conflicts with the French, and they have another conflict.

After the Franco-Prussian War broke out, France had too much time to take care of itself. How could it have the power to take care of East Asia?
The Korean envoy received an unprecedented satisfactory answer and returned to the country in high spirits.

Originally, Grand Court Lord Li Shiying had already made up his mind to take action against missionaries and domestic sectarian forces. Now that it is confirmed that the suzerain country also intends to take action in this regard and is willing to support them, it becomes even more bold.

Directly order to take action.

The methods are more cruel and brutal than in history.

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

Then, Su Yi met with the envoy of Nguyen Phuc, King of the Nguyen Dynasty of Vietnam.

The Vietnamese envoy burst into tears and attacked the French emperor.

"In the last battle, we were forced to sign the Renxu Peace Treaty, but our Lord was very dissatisfied with this contract. He sent an envoy to France to ask for a meeting with the French Emperor. The negotiations were already settled, and the French Emperor also agreed to let us redeem the three provinces of Nanqi , but when the envoys returned to our country and asked to formally take over the three provinces, the French regretted it. "

"They keep saying they are full of contract spirit, but in the end they are completely shameless."

"Today, the French are arrogant and want to forcefully occupy our three southern provinces."

"Not long ago, my lord heard that our country had won a great victory in the great war with the Russians, wiping out one hundred thousand enemies. He was so happy that he held a feast for three days and knelt down to the north."

"Because of the obstruction by the French and foreigners, we have not paid tribute to our superior country for many years, and we feel really uneasy."

Now the situation of the Vietnamese king is very bad, not only the French are forcing him. Moreover, the "Renxu Peace Treaty", which was a loss of power and humiliation to the country, was exposed. It was known to everyone in the country and criticized, and domestic uprisings also occurred one after another.

King Nguyen Phuc Si killed several high-ranking officials in the court who were negotiating with the French, but they were unable to explain themselves to the country.

At this time, there was a rebellion in Vietnam, and the French army was approaching from outside. Vietnam was in internal and external troubles.

Su Yi said: "I express my sympathy and indignation for the situation in Vietnam."

"As the sovereign state, of course I must provide the support I can."

"First of all, we will support some weapons, about two divisions, and sell them to you at almost cost price. If your treasury does not have enough gold and silver, you can also trade them with grain."

"Secondly, we will support some officers and help you train the army."

"You should discuss specific matters with the Prime Minister's Foreign Affairs Office, but do it quickly and don't be too pragmatic."

Don't be too pragmatic, of course it's the condition you should agree to, and try to be as relaxed as possible.

The Vietnamese envoy was also greatly surprised to receive such a positive reply.

As Su Yi, of course, he wanted to directly send troops into Vietnam, open all domestic markets and ports, and completely integrate it into the Qing trade system.

But... now is not the time.

The Qing Dynasty's own trading system and industrial system had not yet been established.

Take your time, military infiltration first.

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

Next, the crown prince of the Ryukyu King burst into tears, accusing Japan, France, the United States, etc.

Su Yi still expressed sympathy.

Two conditions were agreed to. The first was to dispatch specialized foreign affairs officials to Ryukyu.

The second thing is to support the Ryukyu Kingdom with certain military equipment and help train a small but capable army.

The third item is to support Ryukyu with a certain amount of gold and silver.

To this country, it has been shown to be most selfless and generous, because it will be of greater use in the future.

then!

Two more groups of messengers were welcomed.

Ippo is an emissary from the Japanese shogunate.

Ippo is an emissary from the Emperor of Japan.

Both groups of envoys were very reserved, merely celebrating the Qing's victory and establishing certain contacts.

However, the shogunate's messenger still revealed the truth.

First of all, they have officially contacted Bai Feifei's forces.

Moreover, the other party said that the General and His Highness the Regent were in the same situation.

Both men are in power in the country, but they both encountered the same challenges.

What the Tokugawa shogunate means is that now, under the intervention of Western powers, Japan has launched a vigorous overthrow movement, respecting the king and rejecting the barbarians, and the shogunate has encountered a strong challenge from the emperor's power.

Su Yi is the regent, and the little emperor will always grow up in the future.

So, everyone needs to support each other.

Please support the regent in our shogunate. In return, we are willing to support the regent in name, especially at critical moments.

Su Yi sneered in his heart, showing great disdain.

You are so reserved, your shogunate is so miserable now and will be finished in a few years, and you are still pretending.

But Su Yi just pretended not to know, saying that he attached great importance to his friendship with General Tokugawa and would always support his political status in Japan.

Therefore, the shogunate envoy formally requested Su Yi to send an envoy to officially station in Japan.

Su Yi agreed, and said that he would appoint an excellent diplomat to Japan as soon as possible to serve as the Qing Dynasty's envoy to Japan.

The shogunate envoy returned with great joy.

………………

In short, after Su Yi took full control of the entire center, he immediately showed a completely different style from the previous Qing court.

After changing his previous conservatism, he became ambitious in foreign policy and attacked everywhere.

Although I am not the absolute overlord of East Asia yet, but... I just want to show my dominance in advance.

According to Su Yi's plan.

In the next few years, the Russian army will be completely defeated again.

And then defeated the French army in Vietnam.

Defeated Japan in Ryukyu, and then, at the invitation of the shogunate, led his army to directly attack Japan.

By then, it will be the absolute hegemon in East Asia.

By that time, domestic industrialization and economic development had reached a certain level.

The military comes first and the economy comes last.

In less than twenty years, it will probably be able to control the countries in East Asia.

But now, it's just the beginning of the layout.

This is a real ten-year plan, a twenty-year plan.

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

The British also sensed the Qing's recent foreign policy in East Asian countries and appeared to be very proactive.

Because at the Prime Minister’s Foreign Affairs Yamen, relevant departments are constantly being established.

Koryo Division, Japan Division, Ryukyu Division, Vietnam Division, British Division, American Division, French Division.

But there was no Russian division, so the other party was extremely angry.

The Russian minister went to see Minister Bruce many times and said that the Qing people had become ambitious and very aggressive in diplomacy after this war. Sooner or later, it will destroy the interests of the Western world in East Asia.

Please tell Bruce to report these things to London and ask London to suppress the Qing Dynasty diplomatically.

British Minister Bruce prepared two reports.

A report, just as the Russian minister said, stated that the Qing Dynasty had shown unreasonable ambitions in its diplomacy in East Asia and hoped that London would suppress it.

Another report is almost the opposite, saying that the Qing Dynasty is at its closest relationship with the British Empire, and its diplomacy is also following suit, fully cooperating with the British Empire's foreign policy.

The first part is the truth, the latter part is lies.

After hesitating for a long time, British Minister Bruce directly burned the previous report and decided to submit the second false report to London.

People can't be at odds with their own interests, right?

The British Empire had two core interests in Asia, one was the Qing Dynasty and the other was India. Everything else was not very important.

No matter how radical Su Yi's policy is, he will not reach out to India.

For a long time, the interests of the Qing Dynasty and the British Empire were consistent.

Of course, the most important thing is that the interests of the regent and Bruce are more consistent.

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

For a long time, Su Yi worked in the palace.

Sometimes, they even stayed in the palace.

There is a posture of deliberately not avoiding suspicion.

You can pass it on however you want, but after a year and a half, you won’t be too lazy to pass it on.

By then, the entire world will accept it.

The late emperor is green, so do you still want to seek justice for him?

When Dorgon was in power, why didn't anyone seek justice for Emperor Taizong and Huang Taiji?

While Su Yi was working, Zeng Lu suddenly rushed in.

"My lord, I'm so happy, so happy."

"My slave wishes you a happy occasion."

Suddenly, the ears of the big guys in the political hall all stood up.

What great joy?

Su Yi said: "What great joy?"

Zenglu stepped forward, leaned into Su Yi's ear and said, "Ms. Dongbang, you are happy."

Su Yi was stunned, are you so presumptuous?
The little Empress Dowager Ci'an is pregnant, so you should come directly to the political hall to announce the good news?
Then, Zenglu said loudly: "Zhenzhenfujin, I'm so happy."

Well, Su Yi knew about Zhenzhen's pregnancy more than ten days ago.

Is this a cover-up?
Immediately, the leaders of the Political Affairs Hall raised their hands to Su Yi and said, "Congratulations, Prince Regent."

"Master Ruilin, congratulations!"

Ruilin came to Su Yi with a serious look and said, "Congratulations to the prince."

Obviously, Lord Ruilin has a good reputation.

I know that this joy comes from the Empress Dowager Ci'an.
