Chapter 410 IX, Chapter 420 Destruction ([-]) ([-])
The night of chaos on April [-]th in the third year of Yuanzhuo finally passed. The capital in the early morning woke up from his sleep. Everything seemed to be the same as before, but it seemed to be different. The same capital was the same capital, but the smell of blood seemed to be heavy The difference is that there seem to be more officers and soldiers patrolling the streets, and the frequency is also much higher, but for the people in the capital, it doesn't matter much, life must continue, right?At most, it’s just more talk after dinner, but for the courtiers, things are extremely tricky. There are many important ministers who haven’t slept all night. Brother Hongli, Prime Minister Yun Xiang, and Chief Military Aircraft Minister Ma Qi jointly informed that they all rushed to the Qianqing Palace to participate in the follow-up matters.

"This king thinks that such rebellious officials and thieves are so audacious that they dare to attack the palace at night. They should be punished! If they don't kill, the common people will be angry!" The collegiate meeting has just begun, and before Hongli, the elder brother of the supervisor, has time to sit down, Prince Yong Yunzhen is livid. Standing up first with a straight face, he said something in a cold voice.

The important ministers present are all veterans, so they naturally know that Yunyu should be killed, but what is even more clear is that whether Yunyu can be killed is definitely not a matter that can be decided by collegiality, it is a matter for the emperor Yin Zuo to decide, Yun Zhen This idea is very bad, no one wants to go along with it, but it's not easy to speak out against it, why can't we say that Yunyu shouldn't be killed?Well, this time it's alright, after Yun Zhen finished speaking, the big guys didn't talk, the courtiers in the room looked at me and I looked at you, and no one spoke.

The big guy didn't speak, but Yun Zhen got excited, glanced at Hongli who was sitting with a smile on his face, and said loudly: "Prince Lian Yunsi risked the world's disgrace, committed treason, the evidence is solid, the crime Forgiveness is not tolerated, this king thinks that the prince should be cut off first, and then the three divisions will interrogate to clarify his crimes, and issue an edict to the world to clarify the canon."

As soon as Yun Zhen's words fell, Prince Cheng Yunzhi couldn't hold back any longer, he glanced at Yun Zhen meaningfully, and replied unceremoniously: "Fourth brother's statement is ridiculous, it is beyond the power of human officials to decide. As for the matter, even if the eighth brother is wrong, it should be decided by the majesty, and this king thinks it is better to report this matter to the majesty as soon as possible."

Seeing this, Yun Xiang hurriedly said loudly before Yun Zhen could speak back: "What the third brother said is very true, and this king also thought that this matter should be decided by the Holy Majesty. This morning, this king has sent out a postal report. Ten days later , the imperial decree will come, and there is no rush to discuss this matter at this time, let's discuss how to calm the people today."

"Well, Prince Yi's words are justified. I think the curfew must continue. Furthermore, Prince Lian's mansion should also be more guarded to prevent villains from revolting." Chief Minister of Military Aircraft Ma Qi immediately interjected.

"That's right, that's the truth."

"Yes! As it should be."

……

Seeing that Yunxiang and Ma Qi agreed, a group of courtiers immediately agreed with each other. Yun Zhen's already ashen face suddenly turned darker, and he said calmly: "Prince Lian conspired against him, and his crime is obvious. There are many evildoers. , If we don’t investigate and deal with it as soon as possible, I’m afraid someone will destroy the evidence and escape the law, this king thinks that the whole city should be searched and all those evildoers will be wiped out.”

There is nothing wrong with Yun Zhen's words on the surface. Whenever any dynasty involves treason, countless heads will be lost, and countless people's homes will always be copied. It's just that it is not appropriate to do so at this time. Without him, the king Not in the capital, at this moment, a large-scale search of the whole city will only disturb people's hearts, and it will not help the stability of the court at all. It's just that Yun Zhen's words are justified, and the big guys don't know how to refute them for a while, and the entire Qianqing Palace is immediately silent. down.

"What the fourth uncle said is true, but Huang Ama has always been lenient and never advocated getting involved. He has always taught us brothers to forgive others and forgive others. My nephew dare not go against Huang Ama's wishes. This matter The relationship is very important, so let the old man Huang Ama come to decide, so it can be done?" Others didn't speak, but Hongli, who seldom spoke at the collegial meeting, opened his mouth with a smile, full of Huang Ama's teachings , so stunned that Yun Zhen didn't have an excuse to have an attack, so he could only keep a dark face and not say a word.

"What Hongli said is very true, it's good that this matter is settled like this." Yunxiang took the opportunity to make a final decision, and it was considered that today's court meeting was finalized. The big guys discussed the arrangements for various affairs for a while, and then dispersed. .

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Hongli, who had finished correcting the papers, changed into casual clothes, took a few caring inner guards, and wandered out of the palace. In the small alley, he walked through a door in a flash, ignored the greetings from the servants who had already been waiting at the door, and hurried into the backyard and turned into the study.

"Sir, Eighth Uncle should have handed over everything?" Hongli asked with a smile when he saw Cao Xiandong lying on the rocking chair with his eyes closed as soon as he entered the study door.

Cao Xiandong didn't even open his eyes, just nodded his head and said: "I handed over the things, I don't know how big brother plans to use them?"

"Sir, how do I use it?" Hongli didn't answer, but instead asked with a smile, and sat down on the chair opposite Cao Xiandong, shaking the folding fan.

"Brother, do you really think this thing can be concealed from the Holy Majesty?" Cao Xiandong asked without answering.

"Hehe, that's a great question." Hongli closed the folding fan in his hand, and said with a smile, "The reason why Uncle Eighth gave this thing to me is because I want Master to follow his old path and talk to Lao In the second fight, it just gave Huang Ama a headache, which is not a good intention. Hey, the eighth uncle has been fighting with Huang Ama for more than [-] years, but he still doesn't understand Huang Ama. He doesn't know himself or the enemy, so it's strange that he is undefeated. Huang Ama is a person who does practical things, and only pays attention to actual achievements. When I fight with the second child, it can only be based on actual achievements. Stupid, don't look at Eighth Uncle's secrecy in entrusting this matter to Mister, I expect Emma Dinghuang to know about it sooner or later."

"Well said." Cao Xiandong opened his eyes, sat up straight, stared at Hongli with sparkling eyes and said: "It seems that the big brother has already had a care in his heart, why don't you tell someone Cao to listen .”

"No." Hongli spread his hands with a smile and said: "This thing is a double-edged knife. If you use it well, it will have miraculous effects. If you use it poorly, you will hurt yourself. I don't want to let it go, but it's hot when I let it go. Hehe, Huang Ama's board is not so easy to bear, since the husband brought this thing, then please come up with an accurate idea."

"Oh? Hahaha..." Cao Xiandong laughed loudly, and stopped after laughing wildly for a while, looked at Hongli carefully, and sighed: "Brother is very self-aware, that's good, don't Trying to compare calculations with the Holy Master, hey, to be honest, no one in this dynasty is more calculating than the Holy Master, this big brother must be kept in mind. Well, although I have never met the Holy Master, but looking at the actions of the Holy Master, But it can be concluded that the Holy Majesty has never paid attention to family background. Therefore, in this regard, although the second master is a legitimate son, he does not actually take advantage of it. The elder brother must know it well, so there is no need for someone Cao to say more. But..." Cao Xiandong stopped talking halfway, and just smiled.

"But what? Hey, sir, don't you just want to say that the second brother still has the upper hand now? I know this very well. The second brother has always been calm and behaves in a well-regulated manner, but he is still rigid, unlike me. It's too casual, and besides, the second younger brother in front of the head is the eldest son, and he is also a character cultivated by the late emperor. Well, I can't take advantage of him, but it is a fact, there is nothing to be afraid of, hehe, there is still time Yes, it doesn't matter who wins or loses." Hongli said nonchalantly.

"That's right, that's the reason." Cao Xiandong nodded and said, "Since I got this hundred-official file last night, Cao has stayed up all night, and finally recorded everything here." Cao Xiandong pointed With a smile on his head, he continued: "This official file is really great, but it can't be kept, at least not in the hands of big brother, otherwise, hey, big brother must understand the consequences, but It can't be handed over to the Holy Majesty, otherwise the elder brother will not only not be praised, but will be punished instead."

"Huh? Why?" Hongli really couldn't figure out the mystery. He frowned and thought hard for a while, and finally had to ask honestly.

"Hey, this place is full of corrupt officials. If something falls into the hands of the Holy Master, will he investigate or not? Check, hundreds of officials, big and small, have been sacked. Good guy, where did the Holy Master find so many people? The top is vacant, and moreover, once those corrupt officials rise up to rebel, they will kill more people. Hey, if a tyrant's hat is taken off, it would be a strange thing for the Holy One to spare the elder brother. Don't investigate? Face it If so many huge corruptions are left unchecked, how will the Holy Majesty explain to the people of the world? Wouldn’t it be embarrassing to the Holy Majesty? If the Holy Majesty wants to clean up the government, it will be like a moon in the water and a flower in the mirror." Cao Xiandong said with a sneer.

"Oh, that's right, this thing is really hot. Anyway, the things have been brought, and the master must have made an idea, so I will implement it." Hongli laughed and played a rogue.

Cao Xiandong gave Hongli an angry look, smiled wryly and said, "It's actually not difficult, big brother just listen to him." Cao Xiandong whispered into Hongli's ear for a while, listening De Hongli nodded and said yes...

The days of waiting for the news are the hardest. Although Yinzuo has confidence in the old thirteen and others in the capital, even though the Russian army has fallen into the encirclement and has become meat on the cutting board, Yinzuo's heart is still unavoidable. Very much, he wished he could have two identities and sort out everything in one go. Of course, he could only think about it, but he couldn't do it.Yin Zuo had been waiting for five full days in Kalamaili Mountain, but not only did he not receive the news from the capital, he also did not wait for the news of the departure of the Russian army's backup troops. In the second breakout battle, they were all beaten back by the Qing army. Apart from leaving corpses all over the ground, no more soldiers escaped.

On April [-]th of the third year of Yuanzhuo, Yin Zuo got up early in the morning. He just planned to go to the open space outside the tent to play a few sets of fists and kicks according to his usual habits to stretch his muscles and bones. But at a glance, Zhang Tingyu, the minister of military aircraft, was standing outside the tent with his hands down.

"Hey, how did Hengchen get here?" Yinzuo did not take Zhang Tingyu and Li Guangdi with him when he sent troops to Kalamaili Mountain this time, but left them in Qitai Camp. I was taken aback.

"Your Majesty, I arrived in the middle of the night last night. Your Majesty is already asleep. I dare not disturb you. The report from Beijing has arrived." Zhang Tingyu knelt down on the ground and said respectfully, but he did not say clearly what the report was.

Uh huh, it should be the news of the capital's suppression of the rebellion. Lao Zhang made it so mysterious. Could it be that something has gone wrong in the capital?Yinzuo was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand and said: "No, Hengchen will follow me to get the money, Gao Nianying, go get some breakfast, I will use it together with Hengchen."

Gao Nianying, who was accompanying Yinzuo, understood that Yinzuo was going to have a secret conversation with Zhang Tingyu, and hurriedly called all the eunuchs in the tent to prepare breakfast together. Only the monarch and his ministers were left in the spacious tent.

"Your Majesty, this is an urgent report sent by the Thirteenth Lord. Two days ago, I arrived at the Qitai camp. This is a very important matter. I dare not neglect it. I am here to ask the Holy Majesty for instructions." Zhang Tingyu waited for the eunuchs to withdraw, from He took out a yellow silk masked memorial from his sleeve and handed it to Yin Zuo.

Yin Zuo was not in a hurry to open the memorial. He glanced at Zhang Tingyu, smiled and said: "Hengchen has worked hard, and he only walked from Qitai to this place for two days. I think Hengchen traveled all night. After eating, Hengchen I'm going to take a rest first, and it's not too late to discuss things slowly."

"Your Majesty, I'm not in the way. I can hold on. I'll ask you to make up your mind on everything. You should follow the order." Zhang Tingyu replied with a touch of emotion on his face.

Yinzuo knew that Zhang Tingyu had always been diligent. Since he insisted on discussing, Yinzuo didn't want to say anything more. After all, the matter of the capital had too much to do with it. Yinzuo was also anxious to find out how things were going. After a hasty look at the memorial, Yin Zuo's face suddenly turned livid, he slapped the table angrily, and said coldly: "What an old man, hey, I'm so courageous, could it be that I dare not cut him down?" You dog head! Hmph, what does the old thirteen eat, my Hall of Supreme Harmony has been burned, you bastard!"

"Your Majesty calm down, Your Majesty calm down." Zhang Tingyu hurriedly knelt down and said, "My Majesty, although it is true that the Eighth Lord conspired against him, he cannot be killed. I implore the Emperor to think twice."

"Huh!" Yin Zuo paced back and forth in the big tent angrily, the anger in his heart bursting out one after another - the old eight can't be killed, this one Yin Zuo naturally understands, if he really wants to be so easy to kill Yinzuo doesn't need to lure the snake out of the hole anymore. It is easy to kill Lao Ba, and the reputation of killing his younger brother is also a trivial matter. The fear is that the courtiers and local officials controlled by Lao Ba are worried about being implicated and rebelling. As long as there is trouble, there will be no peace in the country for a long time, and all Yinzuo's reform plans will fall into emptiness.

The truth is clear and understandable, but Yinzuo can't swallow this breath. It's nothing if the Hall of Supreme Harmony is burned, the big deal is to rebuild it, but the injuries of Lin Xuanyi and Hongyang make Yinzuo feel very distressed. One is a teacher and friend, and the other is his son. , almost called Lao Ba to be slaughtered, this bad breath made Yinzuo feel extremely uncomfortable.After walking back and forth in the big tent for a long time, looking at Zhang Tingyu who was kneeling on the ground in panic, Yinzuo said calmly: "Hengchen, I am not a person who kills indiscriminately, but I am not a soft-hearted person either. Knowing that what Aiqing said is the way to seek the country, I will not kill Lao Ba, but I will definitely not condone and raise traitors, this time I decided to abolish Lao Ba, just tell me, let me come up with an idea."

"Your Majesty, I think that the whole world knows what Ba Ye has done. The Holy Majesty can tell the world about it, but he doesn't kill Ba Ye. Instead, he is raised in Shengjing. One is to show the magnanimity of the Holy One, and the other is to reassure the world. , Three of them, without the king, the eighth master who is imprisoned in Shengjing is no longer a problem, this minister is so shallow, please let the sage learn from him." Zhang Tingyu said with a slight trembling voice, leaning down.

"Yeah." Yinzuo glanced at Zhang Tingyu, who was still in a panic, thought for a while and said, "Forget it, just follow Aiqing's words, the old thirteen is not good in things, I have to give him some punishment, that's all. The decree: Prince Yi has made meritorious service in suppressing the rebellion, but he did not handle things properly, and the merit cannot be concealed. He took off one of the winter pearls on the top and fined him a salary for one year as a punishment; Contributing to the country, he was granted the title of Lord Belle by Jin, and rewarded the king's salary of the county. Lin Xuanyi contributed to the country, so that he was seriously injured, and my heart was disturbed. , Viscount Jin, go to the military aircraft office; the rest of the meritorious officials who participated in the war will be rewarded by the military aircraft office according to the rules, but all the soldiers who died in the line of duty will be given a noble, and the pension will be given a second class. The required pension will be allocated from our internal treasury. All those who participated in the rebellion will be imprisoned for the time being, and we will discuss it after I return to Beijing, and each department must not be implicated without authorization, and all writings must be issued by the military aircraft department, so that's fine, what does Heng Chen think?"

Zhang Tingyu was worried that Yinzuo would kill in a fit of rage, causing the capital to flow into rivers of blood, but he didn't expect that Yinzuo didn't mean to kill in vain, and it was considered lenient to deal with the big treason case like this, and he was relieved for a while. He took a deep breath, of course, what he didn't know was the foreshadowing planted in Yinzuo's handling opinion.At this moment, after Zhang Tingyu thought about it for a while, he didn't find anything wrong, and hurriedly kowtowed and said: "The emperor is wise, I will draw up an order immediately, but, is it just that the treatment of the thirteenth master is a little heavier?"

Heavy?Hey, it's a little bit, but if we don't punish him like this, I'm afraid Lao Shisan really won't feel at ease. Although this old Zhang is careful, he is not a child of the royal family, and he doesn't have a good grasp of the psychology of the children of the Tian family.Yinzuo's mind was moving quickly, and he didn't explain much, he just smiled and said: "Aiqing just draws up the edict, everything will be discussed after I return to the army."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I respect the decree." Zhang Tingyu kowtowed, got up and walked to the desk in the corner of the big tent, quickly drafted a dozen copies of the imperial edict, handed them to Yin Zuo for review one by one, and asked the person who brought breakfast to the account Gao Nianying used Yin Zuo's seal, and that was the end of the matter.

At that time, after Yinzuo finished handling the political affairs, he arranged for Zhang Tingyu, who had not slept for two days, to go to rest by himself. After sending the drafted dozens of imperial edicts to the capital in a hurry, he led a group of generals to inspect various positions. After a while, the soldiers were encouraged, and as soon as they returned to the central army tent, they saw an unexpected person waiting for him outside the tent.

"Liu Yan? Are you still alive? Get up quickly and let me take a good look at it." Yin Zuo helped Liu Yan, the envoy of the Qing Dynasty who was kneeling on the ground and kowtowing, to his feet, looked carefully, and said gently: "Ai Qing I have suffered, I know that this trip will be difficult for Aiqing, I thought I would never see Aiqing again, and someone built a tomb for Aiqing in the capital, but I didn't expect it to be a big joke."

"Your Majesty, I failed to reach Russia, I have failed my Majesty's great love, I..." Liu Yan was so excited that tears filled her eyes when she heard Yin Zuo's gentle voice, and she was choked up and speechless.

"Okay, come on, follow me into the tent, let's talk slowly." Yin Zuo waved his hand politely, letting Liu Yan follow behind him into the big tent, and the accompanying generals immediately stood on both sides according to their titles , Liu Yan knelt down facing Yin Zuo, who was sitting high on the head, and said, "Your Majesty, I have been detained in the Haizi Fortress of Brentuo for more than a year. Only then did the minister know that the Holy Majesty had sent troops and besieged the main force of Lao Maozi here. Serev told the minister that Russia had no intention of hostile to the Qing Dynasty, and that it was planning to jointly deal with the Zhungeer tribe, so he sent an envoy to the minister. I came here together, saying that I want to explain one or two to the Holy One."

Uh huh, isn't Serev stupid? Hey, it looks like he won't come to rescue the guards. Is this guy sending someone here to fool me?Yin Zuo smiled, waved his hand to signal Liu Yan to flatten his body, glanced at the generals, and said with a smile: "My dear friends, the old man can't beat him, and I'm planning to make friends. What do the generals think?"

"Your Majesty, Lao Maozi is ambitious and has no faith at all. I think that only by beating Lao Maozi thoroughly can they live in peace for a while. I suggest fighting! Fight resolutely!" Wang Changtai was the leader of the generals, and he stood up and shouted road.

"Fight! Fight to the Brento Sea, and don't let Serev escape!"

"Second minister, fight!"

……

One of the generals fought smoothly these days, but they haven't had enough fun yet. Naturally, everyone is asking for a fight, everyone is shouting for a fight, and the tent is full of murderous intent for a while.

Yinzuo waved his hand, signaled the generals to be quiet, looked at Liu Yan and smiled and said, "Liu Aiqing, where is that old envoy?"

"My lord, this person's name is Chuliusky, he is a Cossack colonel, and he is waiting at the foot of the mountain to be summoned by his lord." Liu Yan hurriedly replied.

"Oh?" Yinzuo nodded and said: "Then I will meet this person, Xuan!"

Colonel Chuliusky wandered around the foot of the mountain restlessly, looking up at the top of the mountain from time to time, and then at the gloomy Russian camp in the distance. His heart was full of bitterness. He was not sure at all. From his soldier's point of view, he knew very well how powerful the Qing army was going out this time. If he wanted to persuade the Qing emperor to stop, there would be no such cheap thing. But now, he can only Bite the bullet, because this is not only related to the lives of thousands of Russian soldiers, but also to the dignity of the Russian Empire.After hearing the order of the Qing emperor's summoning, Colonel Chuliusky straightened his army, strode up the mountain, and followed the soldiers who came to deliver the order into the Qing emperor's central army tent.

"His Majesty the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, on behalf of Peter the Great, the Emperor of the Russian Empire, I would like to extend my highest respect to you." As soon as he walked into the tent of the Chinese army, Colonel Chuliusky held his hat in his hand, bowed his body, and acted respectfully. He made a Russian audience ceremony and spoke in Russian.

"Your Majesty!"

"presumptuous!"

……

The generals of the Qing army standing on both sides of the big tent didn't know anything about audience rituals at all. Seeing that Colonel Chuliusky didn't kneel down, they immediately yelled loudly.

Although Yin Zuo didn't understand what Colonel Chuliusky was talking about, he still knew some Western audience rituals. At this time, seeing the audience was in great pain, and he couldn't help but feel a little dumbfounded, but it's not easy to blame the audience. The general had no choice but to smile and waved his hand, signaling to the generals to be quiet, and looked at Liu Yan, who was proficient in Russian, and Liu Yan hurriedly translated Colonel Chuliusky's words.

"Forget it, there's no need to say too many polite words, and don't use your Peter the Great as a shield. I know you didn't come here at the will of your emperor. Come on, what is Serev going to do." Yin Zuo was expressionless. said.

After listening to Liu Yan's translation, Colonel Chuliusky gave a wry smile, shrugged his shoulders and said, "His Majesty the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, General Serev hopes that His Majesty will release those innocent soldiers and allow our army to temporarily stop in Bren Ask Haizi to settle down, our army is willing to clear up the disobedient Zhungeer Ministry for the Qing Dynasty, and communicate with the Qing Dynasty to establish a good diplomatic relationship."

"Oh, is that so?" Yinzuo sneered and said, "I have nothing to talk about with people like you, you are like robbers when you occupy my Daqing land, and I only have one word for robbers, 'hit!' , but considering the friendship between your two countries in the past, I will give you a chance to choose, fight or surrender, and you can see that it will be done." After listening to Liu Yan's interpretation, Yin Zuo waved his hand coldly and let Liu Yan After translating the words, and ignoring Colonel Chuliusky's explanation, he asked someone to invite Colonel Chuliusky out, and glanced at the generals in the tent with a sullen face...
