"Do you know what kind of big things happened in the days you left Jingshi......? The mourning family really didn't expect that the situation would be so chaotic that even he jumped out......"
What Ci'an said has to be poured back in the past, Ci'an is not an incompetent queen mother, this woman's natural desire for power is not great, but it doesn't mean that she doesn't understand. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
To put it simply, this woman doesn't love power very much, but it doesn't mean that she doesn't know the doorways and skills in the power field, in order to protect herself and the Qing Dynasty, Ci'an is also very ruthless.
After all, she is the well-known Empress Dowager of the East, Xianfeng's wife in the main house, the woman who opened the main gate of the palace and brought it in, her fame is far above Cixi, and the Hanchens who grew up under Confucian education have Ci'an in their hearts that Ci'an is the real master of the curtain and listen to the government, and even the Mongolian tribes admire Ci'an.
Ci'an's encirclement of the Mongolian tribes has always been very strong, such as the Manchurian and Mongolian Eight Banners Coalition led by Seng Lingqin, many of which Mongolian tribes were sent under the coordination of Ci'an to send real elites into the customs to participate in the war.
With the birth of Xiao Letian, the situation in the imperial court has become more and more chaotic, and the original history of the Tongzhi Zhongxing period did not appear, although the economy is indeed a recovery period, but politically there have been more serious killings.
Ci'an was so worried about this trend that she even felt that the Qing Dynasty was heading for a serious civil war, not one involving Han Chinese, but a serious conflict between the Manchu community and the Manchu community.
It is the duty of politicians to take precautions, and Ci'an single-handedly arranged for Fuqing to form a reformist faction, but in fact, Ci'an herself doesn't care about the old and the new, she just wants to use various forces to balance the situation.
With one hand arranging Fuqing and the other in the north, she began to install her cronies and officials in the Zhangjiakou area, began to have frequent contact with the Mongolian princes, and finally even Rehe took refuge in the Eastern Empress Dowager.
Ci'an faintly accumulated her strength in the north of the Qing Dynasty, she was very careful not to show any leakage at all, but all the efforts were rewarded, just a few years ago her forces discovered a very strange situation.
A group of horse bandits suddenly appeared outside the mouth, numbering about 500 people, entrenched in the area of the Harawusu River north of Zhangjiakou, and even wandered further north to the area of Chahar Zhenghuangqi Ranch.
Strange to say, these horse bandits rarely committed crimes in the Wuthering Mountains and Forests, disturbing the people but never harming them, and the local officials mostly turned a blind eye to them, and gradually these people aroused the vigilance of the Mongol tribal leaders in the Rehe Dutong and the Eastern Four Leagues.
In the careful investigation of these people, they actually discovered a shocking secret, and the officials who provided protection to the horse bandits were more or less related to a figure in the Jingshi.
"He is the little fifth master of our Jingshi, Yi Cheng!"
"What!" Fuqing's tiger body shook, and he almost knocked Ci'an to the ground and smashed his butt with eight petals, "Fifth prince......? How is this possible?"
Whoever hears the name of the fifth master in the Eight Banners of Beijing has no choice but to pick a big brother! Eat a bowl of tofu flowers and give a poor woman a piece of gold, and when he encounters a bully who molests women, he directly breaks his third leg...... This kind of righteous thing is not less than the fifth master.
Even when the name of the fifth master was mentioned at the mouth of the Jingshi Jianghu, he admired it from the bottom of his heart, not at all because of the identity of the prince.
This kind of person wants to say that he is fighting and making trouble, and he knocks out the head of the housekeeper of the iron hat Wang family, and who is not filial to his grandson's legs, Fuqing believes all these news, but now Ci'an has made it clear that the fifth master has the intention of entering, and this Fuqing does not believe it.
"Haha...... Don't believe me, listen to me......"
Ci'an took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat on his head for the little injustice, "Later, I focused on letting people check it, and I learned that the rebellious Yang Zhi under Xiao Letian was already very close to Yi Cheng, and a group of small and small passes in the Jingshi were also related to him......"
"In the money crisis in Jiangnan and the stock market, my fifth brother made a fortune...... It's no wonder that there are people like Yang Zhi who have followed Xiao Letian to help, if you don't get rich, then there will be ghosts!"
"When he has money, he also recruits people from the rivers and lakes to secretly train troops, although there are only 500 people, but this means too obvious...... He is waiting for an opportunity, he has calculated that there will be great changes in the court in the future, he is preparing in advance!"
"Even Lao Wu, the street gangster, is tempted, but you can imagine what the chaos has become outside...... Zhou Daoying, this waste, helps me find out every day, and I don't know what to find!"
Before the words fell, I saw the big eunuch Zhou Daoying trotting all the way and kneeling on the stone slab, "The slave is a waste, the slave is really useless...... But the slave is really attentive, and he is definitely not lazy!" After speaking, he kowtowed.
Qing Sanye hurriedly played a round game, "I can't blame the manager, in fact, I ran outside like this, and I didn't hear about the fifth master's movements, which shows that the fifth master is hiding deeply, and it also proves that the queen mother has a high wrist......"
"Sycophant ......" Ci'an glanced at him, and then unconsciously rubbed Fuqing's thigh with his buttocks, the plump buttocks curved on the thighs, and Fuqing's blood rushed up at that time, and the nosebleed almost spurted out.
"Huh...... Dowager...... Hehe, let's just say what should we do...... Don't sell it...... Hiss ......"
As soon as the little enemy spoke, Ci'an's fire was released, and Ci'an didn't hide it, and Ci'an directly threw out his plan: "Before Zaichun is in power, none of us can have a conflict with the west, including the devil six, we all clamp my tail between them!"
"From today onwards, I will pretend to be sick and ask the hospital to prescribe a prescription, saying that I am feverish and need to rest and recuperate...... It's better to say that I should go to Chengde for the summer, and I must leave this place of right and wrong!"
"Fuqing, you stay in Beijing, I will match you to meet with the fifth prince, we don't have many soldiers in the two families, so we can deal with the big changes in the future......"
"He didn't dare to disobey me, and if he dared not listen, don't blame the mourning family for unceremoniously revealing his secret...... Don't worry, he still has to give my sister-in-law's face!"
"From now on, we must save more money and food, and raise more soldiers...... When Jae-chun is in power, we must have soldiers to protect us!"
Fu Qing frowned, "Prince Gong will let the Queen Mother go to Chengde? Won't he notice it at all? He also has a lot of eyeliner......
"It's okay, the mourning family has one last trick...... Call Zeng Guofan immediately, I've been recuperating for so long, now that the weather is warm, it's time to come to Zhili to take office, right?"
"Hehehe...... Put Lao Zeng in Gyeonggi, do you think the attention of Devil Six can still be put on us? Hahaha......"
