1000 tough choices
The butler whispered eagerly, "The general is angry, angry, the person who came is extremely strange, holding the waist card of the sword guard in the big interior, and the momentum on his body is amazing, the old slave carefully perceives and feels that even the princes and ministers of the capital may not have such a strong momentum, the general must not be disrespectful, listen to it first......"
The elderly housekeeper often travels back and forth between the capital and the outside of the Guan, traveling south and north to read countless visitors, although the clothes are ordinary, but the momentum on the body is really good.
Hunchun suppressed his anger and nodded, and at this moment, a big man suddenly walked in outside the door, with sword eyebrows and tall figures, standing in front of Hunchun, the momentum was oppressive, and he subconsciously wanted to draw his sword.
"May I ask where does the noble surname come from?" Hunchun unconsciously made a fist salute in the rivers and lakes, he had already seen that the waist and horse kung fu were very calm, and he must be a master.
The person who came untied the wolf skin cloak and threw it to the butler behind him, and then hugged his fist in return, at this time Hunchun found that the person opposite actually did not have braids, and immediately gasped in his heart, and threw it away before he could attack a waist card.
Take it and see that it is really a five-grade waist card with a knife guard, this thing Hunchun has seen a lot, and he can naturally distinguish the real from the fake, "Who are you?"
The person who came glanced at the housekeeper and said lightly: "Please retreat from the general's side, I have confidential matters to discuss with the general!" Hunchun felt the threat and said angrily: "The old butler is my confidant, there is nothing unspeakable, please don't hide your head and tail!"
"That's good...... Ningguta General Hunchun took the order!" Hunchun, who was frightened, took half a step back, "What are you talking about......?" Who are you?"
At this moment, the person who came had already taken out a long wooden box from his cuffs, and after opening it, it was really a roll of bright yellow silk: "I am Xiang Shaolong, the brigadier general of the Praetorian Guard under the command of Prime Minister Xiao Cheng of the Ryukyus...... This is a secret decree given to you by His Majesty of the Great Qing Dynasty, don't you kneel down to accept it?"
"Holy decree, what holy decree! Your Majesty has not yet been in charge of the government, where did you come from, come on......" Before he finished speaking, Long Ye, who met in front of him, suddenly flashed, and before he could understand it, his throat had been locked by the tiger's claws.
"Does the general want to arrest me if he doesn't even look at me? It doesn't matter if I die or not, and you don't want the people on the east bank of the Ussuri River?
At this time, Hunchun's personal guards had already rushed in from the outside, and Xueliang's long knife came out of the sheath to surround Long Ye, "Let go of the general, such a bold bandit, you actually killed the general's mansion, aren't you afraid of destroying the door?"
Long Ye looked at it and wanted to laugh, "When did you still play with knives?" Lao Tzu, when I was performing martial arts in front of the Taihe Palace, I used Gatling heavy machine guns, and I wanted to scare Lao Tzu with a few pieces of broken iron...... After speaking, he tore off the close-fitting lambskin jacket to reveal a circle of explosives inside, as well as the revolver that Xiao Lotian rewarded.
As a general of Ningguta, you are naturally familiar with the internal affairs of the imperial court, who is Your Majesty studying with now, and you should know very well who has breached Beijing City, and you should be able to guess whether I am bluffing you or not...... Don't you even have the courage to look at the secret decree?"
There was a circle of white sweat on Hunchun's head, and he waved his hand to let the guards exit the room, and then took the scroll of secret decrees and opened it carefully.
Jaechun is not in charge now, so not many people in the court except for the Beijing officials know the emperor's handwriting, and they don't know which part of the seal is commonly used by His Majesty now.
This secret decree is written simply and clearly, in the name of the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Aisin Jueluo Zaichun, ordering the generals of the garrison outside the border to provide convenience for the Ryukyu brigadier general Xiang Shaolong, except for directly sending troops to fight, other requirements should be met as much as possible, and the most important point is that the person who holds this secret decree has the right to control the entry and exit of the border ports on the Ussuri River.
In other words, Xiang Shaolong and his army can freely enter and exit between the Qing State and Russia, anyway, the Qing side cannot be stopped, and they must try to cooperate with these people's actions, and help hide their whereabouts if necessary.
Hunchun's heart was like being struck by lightning after reading the secret decree, is this true? If it is true, what should I do? The old butler beside him has already squinted at the secret decree, and at this moment his legs are weak.
"You...... Aren't you the famous dragon master of the Beijing Division? The dragon master in the Southern Eagle and the Northern Dragon? The number one master next to Xiao Letian ...... "The old housekeeper was on the right all of a sudden, no wonder he had such a momentum."
Xiang Shaolong nodded, "Lord Hunchun, you should know that the prime minister of my family is now the emperor's master, and Emperor Tongzhi is currently studying in the Ryukyus, so it is not surprising that I got this secret decree...... Let me tell you the truth, you do have a reason to disobey this will, because Your Majesty is not in charge yet!"
"But don't forget, Your Majesty is the emperor recognized by all the people, and no matter whether he is pro-government or not, he cannot change his identity! The emperor's authority is strict and cannot be established by such a pro-government ceremony, and the emperor's order cannot be obtained by a ceremony......
"I'll be more thorough, whether you want to listen to Your Majesty or not has nothing to do with whether you are pro-government or not......"
Hunchun sat directly on the chair with a soft foot, this is too heart-wrenching, whether to obey the order or not really has nothing to do with the pro-government, even if the Tongzhi Emperor is pro-government, what can he really command the world?
What did Zaichun do in his previous life? As soon as he became in power, he wanted to rebuild the Old Summer Palace, which had been burned down by the British and French forces, and the ministers headed by Prince Gong were opposed, and this child who lacked eyes actually ordered to take off Prince Gong's identity as the iron hat king, and let him go home to think about the past.
At that time, the naïve Zaichun really thought that he was the master of the Qing Dynasty by holding a ceremony, and he could do whatever he wanted, and he didn't think about it, the iron hat of Devil Six was sealed by Zaichun's grandfather, Emperor Daoguang, where could he take it off.
As a result, within a few days, Cixi and Ci'an attacked together, restored all of Yi's reputation, and completely overthrew Jaechun's chaotic government, and the plan to rebuild the Old Summer Palace failed.
At that time, Zaichun was seventeen years old when the second year of secondary school was seriously ill, and the adolescent rebellious began to confront the court in a lazy way, and even slipped out of the palace and threw himself into the arms of the Bada Hutong under the seduce of some eunuch guards.
History has changed, with Xiao Letian's earnest teachings, Zaichun is no longer the second middle school boy recorded in history, he began to gradually understand the true meaning of politics, and his understanding of power has become more and more profound.
Just like today's secret decree, Jaechun has already kicked the ball in front of Hunchun, but there is a deep hook buried in the few ordinary words.
Are you loyal to the Qing Dynasty or do I love Xinjue Luo Zaichun, do you make a choice now?
Do you Hunchun care about the remnants of the Celestial Empire on the east bank of the Ussuri River? Do you intervene or stand by and make a choice now?
