Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Chapter 904
Guan Xuqing smiled and said, "Oh, I'm just a little tired. I'll be fine after returning to the palace and resting for a few days. You don't have to worry about me."

His voice fell silent, and suddenly a person appeared in the class. He knelt down a few steps, and said in a trembling voice: "The old minister Zhang Peilun knelt to welcome the holy driver. I don't know where the fourth prince is now, please let the minister go to salute."

Guan Xuqing knew that Zhang Peilun was also a well-known Qingliu and assassin in the imperial court, and also Li Hongzhang's son-in-law. When he heard what he was saying, he felt a little unhappy, and thought to himself, why are you so ungrateful.So he said, "What are you asking the Eighth Prince for?"

Zhang Peilun replied casually: "Your majesty, I am the master of the eighth prince, and I should respectfully welcome the eighth prince back to court. Please greet me."

"Well, here I am, how can he be qualified to accept Asahi?"

Zhang Peilun argued according to etiquette: "Your Majesty, I didn't say that the eighth prince should accept the court congratulations. It's just that in the past few days, rumors and opinions have spread in the capital. They all say that something happened to the eighth prince in Chengde. I'm recuperating at home, so I don't believe it." , so please see the Eighth Prince."

Guan Xuqing's face sank, and he said coldly: "Then I will tell you clearly that the Eighth Prince is unkind and unfilial. He has already been deprived of his title and detained. At this moment, you cannot see him."

Zhang Peilun's stubbornness came up: "No, no, no, the emperor asked Rong Chen to speak out. The eighth prince was served by the old man, with a strong and soft nature, and he was respected by the princes and ministers. Once imprisoned, I am afraid that he will be angered by heaven and others."

Guan Xuqing's face suddenly changed, and he laughed wildly: "Hahaha, the sky is angry and people are complaining. Zhang Peilun, you are indeed alarmist. Do you know what happened to Lao Ba? If there is any anger, it is caused by Pu Hui himself, and it has nothing to do with me. Complaints from people are nothing more than gossip; anger from the sky is nothing more than capricious wind and rain. I think back then, when Wu Sangui rebelled, there happened to be an earthquake, and the Hall of Supreme Harmony almost collapsed. You will understand after reading a few books when you go back. It's gone." As he spoke, he waved his hand and called out, "Let's drive!"

Seeing the emperor enter the palace angrily, but there is no intention to let all the officials disperse.At such a time, who dares to go home privately.These people stomped their feet and rubbed their hands in the bitter new wind, chatting in groups of three or five.

After Guan Xuqing returned to the palace, he drank a bowl of ginseng soup and rested on the couch for a while, Xiao De'an came over and said, "Director Zhao Bingjun handed over the sign to see you."

Guan Xuqing made a gesture at random, realizing that "declaration" was not much work, Zhao Bingjun came in, and the two looked at each other with very strange expressions.

"Have you found out everything?" Guan Xuqing asked in a low voice.

"Going back to the emperor, we've found out everything. Here's the evidence." As he spoke, Zhao Bingjun handed over a bulging brown paper bag.

Guan Xuqing opened it and checked the contents, his eyebrows twitched a few times, and he let out a long breath and said, "As expected."

Zhao Bingjun asked cautiously: "How do you plan to deal with the prince who caused the trouble? In Yichen's view, they are young and ignorant, and doing this kind of thing is nothing more than a desire to win."

Guan Xuqing frowned, and said, "I have my own opinion, and besides, have you dealt with that dog slave and Lan Chang in that place?"

"Back to the emperor, they were executed in secret according to your order. I don't understand why the emperor didn't execute this adulterous couple immediately when he was in Chengde, and why did he have to wait until now?"

Guan Xuqing sneered and said: "This is a big deal. I just want to see the performance of the princes through this. There are always people with guilty consciences who will make a fuss about it. Otherwise, how can I see it?" What do they think in their hearts?"

"Emperor Shengming."

Guan Xuqing smiled wryly and said: "Since ancient times, the word power has caused many brothers to fight each other. There are Cao Zhi and Cao Pi brothers in the distance, Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng brothers, and the near one is the Jiulong Seizure of the Kangxi Dynasty. I can't just watch. The tragedy of history repeats itself in the Empire."

The prince and ministers who were waiting outside the palace waited until after noon before seeing the palace gate opened; a group of eunuchs surrounded Wang Shang and came out.He stood in the middle facing the south, saying "there is an imperial decree", and all the princes and officials hurriedly knelt down and shouted long live.Just listen to Wang Shang read: "Princes don't follow my training, form cliques for private interests, from now on, except for the eldest prince Pu Yin, all other princes will lose their titles and serve in various military regions to serve the country and kill the enemy for me Once a war breaks out in the empire, it will go to the front line to serve at any time. The commanders of the various departments will be in charge of the command. They will be diligent in supervision and will not tolerate it, otherwise they will be severely punished. In addition, from now on, the empire will establish a South Asian military region, a Central Asian military region, a Middle East military region, and a Southeast Asian military region. One is responsible for the local border affairs. Peng Zhi sent troops without my will, and he will be resigned from the post of Jehol garrison commander immediately to serve in the headquarters. I hereby."

The princes and officials were stunned for a moment, then kowtowed.Only the old master Zhang Peilun lay down on the ground and burst into tears, crying and saying: "Your Majesty, this old minister is guilty, this old minister is sorry for the eighth prince, and he has failed the great trust of the emperor!"

Wang Shang came over, pulled Zhang Peilun up and said, "Master Zhang, please stand up. The emperor has something to tell you. The emperor said that Zhang Peilun was loyal to the Lord and highly respected. He misunderstood the gossip and said something that should not be said. I will not be held accountable for this crime. Come, help Mr. Zhang get into the car and escort him back to the manor."

After that, the princes left Beijing one after another whether they were willing or not, and rushed to the military regions of the empire to take second posts. After dealing with these matters, Guan Xuqing began to plan his global strategy.Where will his gaze be placed this time?

On this day, the sun was bright and the breeze was gentle.

The rich businessmen on Wall Street in New York City all received William Durant's hero stickers by coincidence, and they surrounded Wall Street early, waiting for a good show that was about to catch their eyes.

"What a good show, there are a lot of tricks, I've been here for a long time!" said a fat and well-known person in the banking industry.

"Wait for a while, Mr. Durant can't go wrong with what he sees?"

"I heard from the gossip that it has something to do with the car."

"I heard that Mr. Durant and Mr. Rockefeller have great opinions. Maybe it has something to do with Mr. Rockefeller."

"Hey, this is all history. You thought it was news. We fought ten years ago, and then reconciled. This is how businessmen are." !
So you said something, and I talked about it, no matter who you are, you think today's play is interesting and interesting.

"Didi~didi" A string of brand-new luxury cars attracted the attention of wealthy businessmen, and they were parked in Wall Street Plaza one by one!A man in his fifties with shiny leather shoes and well-dressed clothes slowly got out of the car and stood in front of the rich businessman in a gentlemanly manner.This person is William Durant, the boss of General Motors.

"Dear ladies and gentlemen, thank you for your support. This is the Snow Leopard just improved by General Motors!" Qiao Zhiyong introduced unhurriedly, "This car is made of aluminum alloy and equipped with power brakes. With an 8-cylinder engine, it can go up to 115 mph"

All the wealthy businessmen present widened their eyes, as if they were afraid that these new cars would disappear from their eyes.

"Stylish!"

"Too luxurious!"

"Elegant!"

"solemn!"

The wealthy businessmen talked a lot, and Snow Leopard conquered these big crocodiles from the appearance.

Qiao Zhiyong smiled silently at the audience, turned around politely, and waved slightly to the technicians who had prepared in advance.Soon, several burly technicians came up to the stage and skillfully dismantled the three Snow Leopards into quarters, so that the end to end could not be connected.

"What does this mean?"

"A good show has just been staged!"

The predators present were all stunned, not knowing what Durant was going to do, and immediately whispered to each other.

"Ladies and gentlemen, isn't it strange?" Durant opened his mouth, and the crowd immediately fell silent, "Our cars can not only be disassembled at will, but also can be reassembled according to any one of us wishes. Rise up, now ask a gentleman to come on stage, speak your imagination and creativity and monitor whether our staff can actually make it happen."

After looking at each other for a while, a fat man finally rolled onto the stage, and after pointing, a car was miraculously assembled.Later, several businessmen took the stage one after another to witness the scene of dismantling the three cars, dismantling the mechanical parts, and then recombining them together.The styles of the three cars have undergone tremendous changes, but whether it is the original style or the current shape, they are all so unique and novel.

"amazing!"

"It's amazing!"

Hearing the affirmation of the rich people, Durant was overjoyed and said happily, "General Motors has established the art and color design department for the first time in the world. Mechanical components, and then design a custom body."

"Oh, what a feat!" A wealthy businessman exclaimed, "I'll get one!"

"I'll buy one!"

"I'll buy one too!"

All of a sudden, there was a wave of custom-made car bodies popular among the rich in the United States, and all kinds of strange car shapes will appear on the road.It can be seen that the production efficiency of General Motors has caught up, and the Snow Leopard can be disassembled and assembled at will, which shows that the standardization and consistency of its parts have reached a considerable height.

"Mr. Qiao Zhiyong, we might as well follow suit and launch similar services!" said Cooper, chief designer of China Automobile Company.

"No need!" Qiao Zhiyong waved his hand and said, he understands that custom-made bodywork is actually an expensive and impractical act.

"It's just a luxury game among rich people, no big deal," interjected Ford.

"I agree!" Qiao Zhiyong nodded and said, "We don't expect other people's golden foals, but we can't abandon our old grass donkeys, there are plenty of markets now."
