Meritocracy and competition for jobs may sound reasonable, but the prerequisite is that you have to have that many talent reserves. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

If you want to compete for the position of emperor, you must first have a lot of princes to choose from, and once the choice is gone, then meritocracy will become an empty word.

What's worse is that any tradition will eventually become a habit and then implanted in the genes of insiders, precisely because the throne was won by competition in the first years of the Qing Dynasty, then a descendant set a bad example, and all the Eight Banners nobles have a little ghost in their hearts.

You can fight, why can't I fight? Everyone thinks about this, and the result is that everyone doesn't trust others, and those in power look like they are going to rebel.

Maybe Prince Gong didn't want to rebel in his heart, but he couldn't stand the power of tradition, once the trend pushed him to that position, the yellow robe didn't need him to open his mouth to hint, and some of his subordinates helped him do it.

"So, Prince Gong can't lead troops to fight, as long as he is given military power, he will definitely rebel, this is a sure thing...... And don't fantasize about it, Fifth Master, do you really think that the important ministers of the court are all loyal ministers of the first emperor?"

"Pull it down...... That's all grass on the wall, if Prince Gong ascends the throne, you can just watch, and there will definitely be no more than a slap in the face......"

Yi Cheng let the two right-hand men squeeze the red face, and said in his heart that even if you are my henchman, don't bury me like this, how can you let you pick it out.

"Okay, okay, I see, it doesn't seem to work on this road, so what about the other two roads?"

Li Tuo nodded, "Going to war is only the first option of the imperial court, and now it seems that it will definitely not work, and the second method is to deceive ......."

"Deception?"

As he spoke, as soon as the curtain of the door was opened, Rouge Tiger personally took the little maid to add vegetables to the three of them, "Master Li, the hibiscus chicken slices you ordered, the slave family is cooking, and it ......is very tender."

"The spring tea sent by Jiangnan this year is really good, fried a Longjing shrimp for Yang Jue to try, not river shrimp, but sea shrimp, the taste is not the same as Jiangnan'......"

Changing the wine and changing the dishes, a table of dishes only moved a third, and it was still warm, and all of them were removed, and it was neatly and neatly a table of new dishes, and the wine was all changed.

The rich and noble people are so particular, no matter how delicious the dishes are, one person will have three chopsticks at most, and then immediately change to a new one, no matter how late the three of them discuss at night, this round of dishes can not be stopped.

If you eat this supper until the second half of the night, you won't be able to get it without two thousand taels of silver.

Rouge Tiger Bucai's kung fu said to Prince Chun, "This is not simple, my woman can guess that eight or nine is not far from ten, and the light rises and the darkness falls!"

"Anyway, Hunchun's banner is also to fight against the Rakshasa ghost, and the court will use this gimmick to reward him, transfer him to the military department, promote him to make a fortune and reward the beauties of the house, isn't it just that, when he leaves his own territory outside the border and enters Beijing City, then he can't help but be kneaded by the court?"

Hiss...... Yi Cheng is not stupid, he just reacts slowly and is not in a hurry, as long as he is allowed to bypass that corner, there is no need to say much about the rest of the matter, it is all reasonable.

"Oops...... Isn't this just a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain? The national dynasty is now a dead man, and as long as Hunchun dies, those people under his command will not be opponents no matter how much trouble they make! The imperial court has a way to clean up ......

With a snap, Li Tuo slapped his face, "Ah...... That's what's going on, this should be the method that the imperial court wants to adopt the most, and it's actually better to cut meat with a soft knife...... Whoever doesn't show up will kill you!"

"But I think the number of successes in this second plan is only between five and five!"

Listening to Li Tuo's words, Yang Zhi felt a little: "That's right, that's right, didn't your minions outside the gate provide you with a piece of information? That Hunchun relied on His Majesty's secret decree and the assistance of the Fog Hidden Imp to succeed in the mutiny!"

"What does this mean? This means that the CIA has intervened, my lord, the masters in the CIA will not be able to see through the deception of the imperial court!"

"If you want me to say, Hunchun probably already knows the plan of the imperial court at this moment, it seems that it is difficult to deceive!"

Yi Cheng's face changed, "Does he still dare to resist the decree and disrespect?"

"Resist the decree or disrespect?" Yang Zhi said lonely, "Whose will? Who will give the will?" Don't forget that the emperor is no longer in the Forbidden City, but by Xiao Letian's side!"

The room was silent for a while, and the rouge tiger retreated to the side room with a frown, and the three of them didn't say anything for a quarter of an hour, especially Yi Cheng's face was pale.

After a long time, Li Tuocai picked up the cup and said with a smile, "Drink first, drink first, let's discuss it, according to Xiao Letian's side, this is called war game deduction, it's just an illusion on the map......"

"But Fifth Master, I have to remind you, whether Hunchun will be fooled or not, you just need to keep an eye on the checkpoints leading from Liaoning to Heilongjiang and Jilin......"

"You have to look at the defenders sent by Hunchun, if they are aggressive and even clash with the defenders of Shengjing, then don't fantasize, Hunchun will definitely not be fooled, and he will not enter the capital...... Because he has chosen to fight!"

"If the checkpoint at the junction of the two provinces, the Hunchun side is more restrained and rational and knows how to retreat...... This proves that Hunchun has no idea of self-reliance, he just wants to fight the Rakshasa ghost...... In this way, maybe the court can trick him out!"

Yi Cheng slapped the table with a snap, "Shengjing, I also have a minion, I let him keep an eye on the situation of the level! I want to see how big this Hunchun can play......

In other words, the chaos outside the customs and the response of the imperial court have generally surfaced, the possibility of war is very small, and the possibility of luring Hunchun into Beijing is very large, and now it depends on how Hunchun responds.

Thanks to such two talented people in Yicheng's hands, this allowed him to judge Hunchun's choice in advance, before the imperial court started the plan to lure Hunchun, Shengjing Yicheng's house slaves had already received a telegram from their masters, and many officers in the army immediately began to act to collect information for their masters.

In the late Qing Dynasty, there were not many post roads from Liaoning to Jilin, Huaide, Yitong and Tonghua were the three most important post road traffic, among which Yitong in Changtu Mansion was the most important checkpoint, because after Yitong walked hundreds of miles to the northeast was Jilin City.

For more than 200 years, the checkpoints of the two provinces outside the city of Yitong are almost useless, and there should be a battalion of soldiers stationed here, but in fact, it would be good to have two sentinels stationed here, because this is the hinterland of the Longxing land outside the Guan, and no one would have thought that there would be any enemies here.

However, this year's Hunchun mutiny shocked the entire three provinces outside the Guanwai, and the Yitong outpost, which was originally in the heart, suddenly became a frontline of stalemate between the two armies.

It's a mess!
