Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

The weather in the capital was getting colder and colder. The Spring Festival was coming up in a month and a half, and the most important day of the year was already reaching its warm-up period. And this year's Beijing was destined to be countless times more lively than the previous years, because of this year's Emperor's benevolence, adding an 'Enke' to all the guests in the world.

As the name implied, Enke's examination was in addition to the normal examinations. This was the biggest gift the imperial government gave to the scholars of the world. In the real history, there were only five additions of Enke in the entire Qing Dynasty, all of which were concentrated in the three dynasties of Kang Yong Gan. This showed the importance of Enke.

It was precisely because of the change in history caused by the flapping of Xiao Letian's wings that the Encyclopedia of Tongzhi, who should not have appeared in the first place, appeared.

In the summer, the royal decree was sent to all parts of the country by horses. One time, Enke had added a few hundred imperial examination officials, while the number of scholars in the world had increased by a few hundred. How could they not be excited?

He brought his servants, his errand boy and his three or five good friends to the capital. Along the way, they were able to look at the mountains and rivers of the motherland that were not contaminated and not developed by the tourism industry.

Ever since they had received the status of High Scholars, some farmers had come with land deeds to submit to them. At the time of the Imperial Examinations, some of the local landlords and gentry would come with silver taels to send them off.

For thousands of years, people had been attached themselves to the banner of Deixis, forming a spontaneous form of economic assistance. As long as a scholar crossed the threshold of a High Scholar, his life would be greatly changed.

You will have money, fame, beauties, and even rights. You will get everything you want in life. With such great benefits, how could the students of Prominent Education not band together? How could they not defend him with their lives?

As long as the rules of the game and the economic aid body were not destroyed, these scholars would not care who became the emperor. So what if it was in Manchu?

The cold wind blew, but the atmosphere in the capital was exceptionally warm. The crowd around the Yongding Gate seemed to have gathered, and all the raising child s in various places chose to enter the Beijing from there.

"Young master Huang, I'm here. Our young master has asked me to come and get you …"

"Brother Luo, aiyaya, I missed you so much when we parted in Sichuan last year. Enke, you have to make sure Toad Palace will pay for everything this time …"

"You're too polite. I've caused a lot of trouble in Sichuan. Now that you're in Beijing, I'm in charge. Everything is mine …"

The entire Yongding Sect became a meeting place for the raising child, with people bowing to each other and calling out friends everywhere. There were also countless inns, taverns, and even commoners in temporary rental houses in the capital.

The s had all gathered at the Beijing. The constable head servants and the city guards under the minister of nine city gates were all exhausted to the point of becoming the third grandson.

In the face of Master High Scholar, they could be considered to be unable to pull off any of their usual abilities. They had used up all their smiles for three years in just three days.

In the past, most of the people they saw were commoners and merchants. Just a little bit of money was enough for a family to eat and drink for half a month. But facing these raising child, not to mention plundering, they all had to smile. These were all future lords, who would dare to offend them.

"Aiyo, Master High Scholar, what did you say? "Oh, Tong Fu Inn, it's very, very close. Come three blocks ahead and turn right. You'll see …"

"Aiyo, where do you want to know? "Go to the Ministry of Revenue, that's easier to find. Follow the Yongding Gate and keep walking. All six departments are together …"

The veterans and yamen runners at the city gate were so tired that their tongues almost left their mouths hanging out. At this time, a simple palanquin carried by two people came from the inner city.

However, when the old soldier guarding the door saw the middle-aged man getting off the palanquin, he was so scared that he started to tremble. "Greetings to the lord. Why have you come here? Look at the mess, sit …"

The person who came was not a bystander, but the first in the six years of Xian Feng's Hall Competition, the resounding Minister Yuan Lang. Now that he was bestowed the position of Hall Master Hong De, he was appointed as the Imperial Advisor of Tongzhi, with the name Weng Tonghe, Uncle Ping.

"Master Weng, it's Master Weng … Imperial Advisor's Master Weng! " Many of the High Scholars surrounding the Yongding School were permanent residents of the capital. With a single glance, he could see their idol, Qingliu Leader Weng Tonghe.

The crowd immediately crowded over. raising child from all over the country gathered together to pay their respects to Weng Tonghe using the accent of Heavenly South Sea and North Sea. Weng Tonghe indeed had the air of an ancient scholar.

"I heard that you sound like someone from Huai Clan. Not bad, not bad. Since ancient times, there have been many heroes …"

"You come from the land of the two lakes? "It's not that simple. Longhair has caused trouble for so many years, yet you are able to persevere in your lessons. This heart of yours is worthy of my admiration …"

"You are from the Second Land of Suhang? How is the economy now? Has it been restored? "I can recover a little bit …"

"Hahaha, it sounds like you are from Heavenly Province. You came to the capital by the water route? But after passing through the Three Gorges … Apes on both sides of the river will not be able to cry. Do you hear Apes? "

With his gentle and refined attitude, Weng Tonghe impressed all of the raising child present, and there were even some young raising child who were so excited that their eyes filled with tears.

"Your Excellency is truly a role model for us. Your excellency is indeed worthy of being called the best of the clear stream …"

Weng Tonghe waved his hand and was about to reply when a butler suddenly squeezed through the crowd and whispered a few words into the old master's ears.

"The East Warm Pavilion Council has already dispersed, and the insiders have just sent over their intelligence. The Emperor, Empress Dowager Xi and the Prince Kung are all infuriated, and even the Emperor was beating the table to send troops, but at the last moment the Empress Dowager of the East suppressed the matter … He said that he would only make a decision after carefully investigating the situation! "

When Weng Tonghe heard this, he almost erupted on the spot. He was so angry that his eyebrows jumped, and in the end, he relied on dozens of years of cultivation to suppress the anger in his heart.

How can this be? Xiao Letian had already concealed his power, so how could the imperial government still tolerate this rebellion? What exactly did Ci An think about this woman? His calmness was truly terrifying.

Based on Weng Tonghe's calculations, this conflict between the Tanggu and the Manchuria should be the start of Xiao Letian's showdown with the Manchuria Royal Families. Even if he could not kill Xiao Letian, he should at least expel him completely.

Weng Tonghe was not a deceitful person who didn't understand economics. He didn't dare say that he completely understood Xiao Letian's plan, but he could at least understand seventy percent of it. Otherwise, the person who would understand you the best would be your enemy.

"Xiao Letian, ah, Xiao Letian, aren't you using your identity as one of the Ghosts to get involved in the ocean trade? You make money, you raise people in the world, and you even have your own small arm now. Don't think that I don't know what you are thinking. What's the difference between your little scheme and that of Ceng Guoquan's? "

He said to Xiao Li that you all want to become warlords, that you all have thoughts of disobeying orders, that you all are potential traitors in the future, and that from the bottom of your hearts, Ceng Guofan, Hong Xiuquan, and even you Xiao Letian are a group of ambitious people …

Weng Tonghe's change in expression could not be hidden from the eyes of the surrounding raising child. They all asked softly, "Master, why are you so worried? "But what's the matter?"

"Sigh …" Weng Tonghe let out a long sigh, "Forget it, all of you should settle down early. After that, he went back into the palanquin and returned to the inner city.

Weng Tonghe's strange action made all the raising child s extremely curious, they all started to talk at once, wanting to find out what happened.

As a result, that night, an incomparably shocking piece of news spread through all the restaurants, inns, and even the brothels of Beijing.

"Aiyo, my ancestors! Have you all heard of this? Xiao Letian has already rebelled against the imperial government, he has raised hundreds of troops on his own … "

"AHH!" Are you for real? Hundreds of them? Not necessarily. When they were making a ruckus, which of the gentry in Jiangnan didn't have a few hundred guards? "There are even a thousand of them, yet the imperial government has made them into private armies?"

"Tsk tsk tsk tsk …" "You don't understand. If you find a few hundred people to guard the house, no one will care about you. However, if you were to give these several hundred people a uniform, a uniform, a Gun, and even a flag, it would all be prepared …"

Before he could finish, the crowd exploded. The students jumped around the room, their faces red with anger. "Traitor! This is treason! They even dare to raise the flag! If this isn't treason, then what is …"

He shook his head and said, "Not only that, this Xiao Letian actually colluded with foreign people. Just four nights ago, Xiao Letian led his private army and foreign people to ambush the Green Camp, and in the middle of the night, over a thousand of Green Battalion died in battle. General Li and General Wang died in battle, and even the General Ding's corpse could not be found.

"Tell me, if this isn't rebellion, then what is it?"

The crowd was furious. The scholars' chests were burning with the flames of justice. How could they allow a traitor to live in the world? People began to curse him on the spot.

"Where did the government go? Such a villain, such a traitor, why did he not send out soldiers to suppress him? "What's the use of the imperial government raising them …" Just at this time, the cotton curtain of the tavern was pushed open, and a raising child who was panting walked in and shouted.

"Do you know? Just a moment ago, Wang Shizheng, the Wong Lao-Han Lin was already sick, he must have been angered to death by Xiao Letian! The Wong Lao-Han Lin is only two years away from becoming an official, yet they died at the hands of an evil person. I can't accept this, I really can't accept this … "

The raising child s in the tavern were all stunned. After a short period of silence, all the people burst out into angry roars, "Let's go, let's go pay respects to Old Han Lin. This black sky really makes me breathless. We want justice today! "

On a cold winter night, the chaos was beginning to show itself.
