Chapter 95: The Qing Dynasty Wearing a Sieve (28)

There was no one in the court to make trouble, Yinzhen Jianguo handled the court affairs very smoothly, and he began to take over power quietly.
Lao Ba was the first to discover his ambitions, and this was related to Yongzheng's no longer covering up. He was frightened and pondered for several days, and one night, he quietly went to the Yongwang Mansion to find out what happened.
"Fourth brother, Huang Ama and the prince are going to Mobei, what do you think?"
Yinzhen was not surprised at his arrival, so he ordered Su Peisheng to prepare a refreshment, sat down with him, and asked with a faint smile: "If I have one, what shall you do?"
Old Ba's face changed and changed, his hands clenched into fists, and he uttered a difficult sentence, "Huang Ama is our father after all."
Yinzhen laughed, "Where did the eighth brother think of going? Huang Ama must be blessed by heaven, and she will be unscathed."
"that--"
"My brother, Tsarist Russia has repeatedly invaded. Although we signed the Treaty of Nerchinsk, how many troops have we damaged? You have also seen the prisoners of Tsarist Russia. They also wear those side weapons. How do they compare to our cavalry? "
Lao Ba didn't know why he mentioned these things, thought about it, and replied: "If it is not for the geographical advantage and the small number of them, it might not have been able to beat them back so quickly last time."
"That's right, not only Tsarist Russia, but also the East Ocean, and many countries across the ocean. How many things have flowed from foreign countries in these years that we have never seen? They are few people, but they have developed several times faster than us. Huang Ama is bent on suppressing the Han people and rests on her laurels. If one day the Eight-Power Allied Forces attack together, who can resist those powerful firearms?"
Old Ba was suffocated by his heavy expression, as if these were not expected, but disasters that would definitely happen. He opened his mouth and looked at Yinzhen's eyes with incredible disbelief. After a long time, he said dryly in his voice, "You want to reuse the Han Chinese?"
"Don't we have the blood of Han people in our bodies?" Yinzhen looked back at him steadily, "Lao Ba, you are familiar with history books, but that dynasty can be prosperous? Since the dynasty will be changed sooner or later, how can it be for me? If Aisinjue’s rule is longer, he will harm the people of the whole country? After a hundred years, foreign countries will widen the gap with us, but it is not only the Qing Dynasty but the entire country that will be wiped out by artillery. Those Li people are innocent and cannot be because of love. Xinjue Luo's selfishness committed such a serious sin, and our ancestors could not afford it for generations."
"You're crazy!" Lao Ba was shocked and wanted to say that he was wrong. It was all speculation, but I didn't refute a word for some reason. No dynasty can last forever, everyone knows, but if you want to think like this, what is the point of the throne that their ancestors desperately regained? But if a foreign country is really surrounded by wolves as Yinzhen described, the consequences will be hard to imagine.
No one knows how rich this land is, because their ancestors came in and seized this land. Will the wolf relax when it meets the meat? Never! Tsarist Russia and Galdan are examples, they will definitely call again!
No prince could calm down immediately when he heard this, and Yinzhen didn't urge him, let him go to the guest room to rest, and went back to the room himself. But there are blood drops around the guest room guarding, the old ba is a talent, so he has told the truth, but if the old ba can not be used by him, he must be put under house arrest. Otherwise, once the wind is leaked, his arrangements for so many years may be completely ruined, and he cannot take risks.
Lao Ba lay in the guest room for a long time and couldn't sleep. He thought of Yinzhen's calmness since childhood. It seems that since then, no one can see what Yinzhen is thinking. He is also an official, so he knows how difficult it has been for Yinzhen to cover everything in the past few years, and Yinzhen's power must not be underestimated. He also remembered that a few years ago Yinzhen had done a lot of influential things, such as multi-treasure stores, newspapers, and logistics. These things are not visible now, but with Yinzhen's words today, it is not difficult to imagine those newspapers and periodicals will be in the future. What a storm, Yinzhen was well prepared.
He doesn't know what a foreign country is like, but judging from the things produced by Dubaodian, I am afraid that the technology is obtained from foreign countries, right? Did foreign countries already lead them so much? The most important thing is that foreign armies have firearms. The Qing army only has firearms, and the Han Chinese are absolutely inaccessible. If it is the time when the two sides go to war, will their ancestors really become sinners for generations?
For the whole night, Lao Ba has made a decision. The next day he found Yinzhen again, "Four brother, I know I can’t stop you, but I hope you don’t forget that you also have Manchu blood on your body. Those who are against the Qing Dynasty may not have any good intentions, but they are all for No matter how powerful it is. Brother Si, I'm going to travel around the countries. If what you say is true, I will help you protect this land and the people of Li people on this land!"
Yinzhen showed a relieved expression and patted him on the shoulder, "Okay, Brother Si did not misunderstand you."
Lao Ba is settled here, but Lao Jiu doesn’t have to say anything carefully. He doesn’t care about national affairs or who is in charge. If Yinzhen wants to be the emperor, then he should do it? As for the matter of childlessness, they have so many children in the royal family, can they still lack someone to inherit? So as soon as Yinzhen talked to him a little bit, he patted his chest to make sure that he would definitely support him. It doesn't matter how much money he spends, as long as Yinzhen is in charge and let him do more business in the future.
One month later, Yinzhen was still steadily dealing with the affairs of North Korea, communicating with Kangxi from time to time, and then not surprisingly received the news that the prince was deposed. Kangxi was dissatisfied with the prince, and was irritable during the war. The prince was still not respectful to him. The more he looked at the prince, the less pleasing he was. After a conflict between the prince and the king of Zhijun, Kangxi angrily abolished the prince and directly ordered him to be guarded.
In the past month, Yinzhen wrote the past three letters and did not receive a reply. Then, some gossip reached several important officials, saying that Kangxi was assassinated by Galdan and was seriously injured. Now they all panicked. The prince was abolished, the emperor was seriously injured, and Prince Yong, who was a prisoner of the state, was still infertile. Is it necessary to help the fifteenth elder brother who is only a few years old?
But at the same time they were in a panic, they also saw an opportunity. If the young emperor was enthroned, would it be possible for them to become a minister of state? When Kangxi was eight years old when he was enthroned, wasn't it also that several ministers were in charge of court affairs? All of a sudden, they had more contacts with the Tong family. They wanted to try some words, but they always found nothing. But those people who returned to Shun Yinzhen were glad that they had chosen the right one. The fifteenth elder brother is so small, won't he be the world of Yinzhen for more than ten years?
Half a month later, the army won. Dumbele bravely fought, led the army to beat Galdan to the ground, and personally cut off Galdan's head. Then suddenly there was news of the emperor’s funeral, and then the Prince Zhijun and the prince also disappeared one after another and sneaked back to the capital.
Yinzhen had already set up a net of heaven and earth. When they assembled their subordinates to enter the palace to seize the position, Yinzhen took everyone in one fell swoop, which became the most bloodless party fight in history. The Tong family urgently contacted the imperial concubine, hoping that she would stand up and help the fifteenth elder brother to rise to the top, but the imperial concubine was unbearable and fainted several times. Without this thought, the government was still under Yinzhen's control.
Su Yuanyuan entered the palace and stayed in Chengqian Palace, accompanied by the imperial concubine day and night, feeling that the time was almost time, and then told her the truth.
"Auntie, it's our fault that made you sad for so long, but... we have something we want to do, sorry."
The imperial concubine raised her hand angrily, but finally couldn't bear to let it go, "You! Are you worthy of the emperor's favor for you?"
Su Yuanyuan shed tears sincerely for the first time, but looked at her with a firm expression, "Sorry, we can't stand by and persuade Huang Ama that we can only do what we want to do if we have the most power. However, Auntie, you are right. We have failed you and Huang Ama's trust. We are sorry for you."
The imperial concubine turned her face to wipe the tears off her face, and was silent for a long time before asking: "Are you going to put me and the emperor under house arrest?"
Su Yuanyuan also remained silent for a long time, "Auntie, I hope Huang Ama can go to a foreign country to see. Earth-shaking changes have taken place outside, and it is no longer the scene of congratulations from all over the world. They look at us all with wolfish ambitions. I hope Huang Ama will understand us one day after seeing it, and when I go to a foreign country, I will send someone to protect you, but I will not put you under house arrest."
But in China, in order to avoid civil strife, Kangxi had to be under house arrest. That was the worst result.
The imperial concubine stood up on the head of the bed and said indifferently: "I'm going to see the Wuya clan, as well as the Li clan and Song clan you mentioned. I want to know what the future you know is like."
"Okay, I will take you there."
Su Yuanyuan sent people to bring Li and Song to the secret room, and Kangxi's dark guards had been controlled by the blood drops. After entering the secret room, the imperial concubine looked at the confession of Concubine De, while asking someone to bring Li alone to ask.
Li Yunfang suddenly heard the imperial concubine ask her how many years later, she immediately fell on the ground with a soft leg, and looked at Su Yuanyuan in a panic. Su Yuanyuan soothed: "Don't worry, Auntie just wants to know what will happen in the future. Just tell the truth. You don't have to worry about your identity. You are not the first woman to cross, nor the last, as long as there is no malice. , No one will pursue this matter."
Li Yunfang had a close relationship with her, and after hearing these words, he felt relieved and talked about what he knew intermittently. The first to bear the brunt was the fall of the Qing Dynasty and the Eight-Power Allied Forces, which plunged China into purgatory.
The imperial concubine turned pale when she heard her, and when she finished speaking, she was called to the Song family again and received the same confession. Although they don’t know enough about it, the Eight-Nation Alliance is said to be known to everyone in the future. In the future, many people will scold the rulers of the Qing Dynasty. If it weren’t for them, China might be the world’s largest power.
She could see that Li and Song had always thought that they had covered up very well and had never exposed the identity of a transgressive girl, so they were so afraid. In other words, the history they are familiar with is something that everyone in the future will learn, and there is no time to make up, and make up so consistent, all this is true!
Then listen to them saying that in the future, everyone will have a comfortable house to live in. There will be no more freezing to death and starvation, no more wars, no more refugees, no more countless unjust cases and wrong cases like now, and even women can be in power. Officials, be the masters themselves. What a beautiful future is that? But it only developed after the country was destroyed and regressed many years. If it was not delayed by the Qing Dynasty, without the Eight-Power Allied Forces, and without the tragic history in the middle, would such a beautiful future be realized long ago?
The imperial concubine couldn't accept it, but couldn't say anything to blame Yinzhen and Su Yuanyuan. She thought for three days with a headache, and finally said to Su Yuanyuan: "I believe Yinzhen can be a good emperor. No matter whether there will be an eight-nation coalition in the future, I believe that Yinzhen can govern this country well. As long as he He is a good emperor loved by the people, so I won’t blame him. I will persuade the emperor to go abroad with him with my children, and to meet foreigners who are ambitious."
Su Yuanyuan nodded, "Don't worry, aunt, one day, you will return safely and see a scene of prosperity."
