"Zeng Guofan has never been with the imperial court, especially the imperial court after the Xinyou coup, because now the real power faction in Beijing is his enemy......" Xiao Letian hid in his study, surrounded by core officials, and there were cards on the table.

This is not a foreigner's poker, and the cards are written on them are the names and secret information of the big names in the Manchu court.

Cixi, Ci'an, Prince Gong, Prince Alcohol, Prince Qing...... These Manchu nobles are not finished, there are also Weng Tongyi, Feng Fu, Zhang Dengying, these Qingliu Hanlin.

Zeng Guofan, Zeng Guoquan, Zuo Zongtang, Li Hongzhang and others also made cards, including Qing Sanye, Mugeji, Erlesu, Shishan Shishui and others also made cards.

This is a weapon deduction for the government, and what they judged was the bloody battle of the Great Dynasty meeting three days later.

"You remember, all the members of the Manchu imperial family are hanging on this board, and all the members of the Qingliu Hanlin are hanging on this board, here are the local governors, and here are the foreign ambassadors present...... By the way, set up another sign for the Third Master's Restoration!"

"Good, good...... The Manchu royal family, the Qingliu leaders, the local governors, the foreigners, and then the Manchu reformers, there are a total of five forces, let's see how many people we can win?"

Xiao Letian's political war game deduction simply overturned all the common sense present, they didn't expect Xiao Letian to be so smart, and actually thought of such an intuitive arrangement.

Xiao Lotian will not tell them, this is what I learned from "House of Cards" in my previous life, American politicians can quickly make a whiteboard when they have nothing to do, and then write the names of congressmen on it, in order to win a majority of votes, they have to go through countless such deductions before they can finally determine the winning rate.

"You are all optimistic, this board is full of local governors, among them, what is rushing at us is that we can win it, and we will definitely support it at the court meeting, and those who are detained are enemies of us, we should try to fight for it......"

"You see, Zeng Guofan and Zeng Guoquan are positive, because they will be with us one heart, and Li Hongzhang will definitely not be able to fight for it, because we just killed a lot of his soldiers...... As for Zuo Zongtang, we define it as a swing faction, which means that you can try it, and you can strive for a neutral attitude at the worst......"

"Why do you think that Zeng Dashuai will definitely support us? Wouldn't he be a loyal minister of the imperial court?" Luo Huo didn't know much about the affairs of the imperial court, and asked suspiciously.

"Good question, this question can be explained to you clearly......" Xiao Letian handed over the right to speak to Qing Sanye.

The third master sighed and said, "This is going to talk about the Xinyou coup d'état six years ago, Gu ordered the eight ministers to let the two palace empress dowagers and two princes join forces to eradicate it, and one of the important people of the Aixin Jueluo family, Su Shun, died tragically in that palace coup......"

"Su Shun is a person with a blue flag, a clan, a word Yuting, the seventh grandson of Prince Zheng Xian, and the son of Prince Zheng Shen, Wuer Gonga. During the Daoguang period, he served as the Minister of the Imperial Front, the Minister in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Secretary of the Ministry of Households, and the co-organizer of the University Scholar. Later, he was deeply trusted by Emperor Xianfeng, and his brothers Prince Zheng Duanhua and Prince Yi Zaiyuan relied on each other, and they were prosperous for a while. ”

"In July of the eleventh year of Xianfeng, he was appointed as one of the eight ministers of Gu Ming, and in October of the same year, he was dragged to the entrance of the vegetable market to behead the public, and he died at the age of forty-five......

"Su Shun is really a rare doer among the Manchurians, in his hands the 'Wuwu Kechang Case', 'Hubu Treasure Money Case' and 'Hubu Treasury Corruption Case' were tried clearly, hundreds of corrupt officials were brought to justice, and the court officials were suddenly shocked, and Cheng Dù suppressed the atmosphere of corruption and bribery in the officialdom at that time. ”

"Not only that, Su Shun attaches great importance to Hanchen, and recommends Zeng Guofan, Zuo Zongtang, Hu Linyi, Guo Songtao and other Han high-ranking officials to the imperial court, among which Zuo Zongtang's life was saved by Su Shun, it can be said that the entire Qing Dynasty now has heavy troops in Hanchen The officers are promoted by him, and this network can't sleep at night as long as you think about the people in the Forbidden City!"

Qing Sanye said here and sighed, "It's a pity that his temper is too bad, especially when he treats the Manchurians, he can't even look down on the Manchurians, and there are countless Manchu nobles who have been scolded by him, and he has made a lot of enemies by killing Qiying, Bai Ye and the members of the household department......"

"During the Xinyou period, of the three ministers who died in Gu Ming's eight ministers, only he was slashed at the entrance of the vegetable market, and the other two princes just committed suicide...... At the time of the execution at Caishikou, countless enemies slandered Su Shun, and even ignorant people beat him with bricks and garbage, and his nose and face were swollen......"

But it was at such an insult that he knelt on the execution ground. In the face of death, he did not change his face, and always held his head high, until his head was cut off by the executioner......"

The third master couldn't talk anymore, he was very close to the descendants of the eight ministers of Gu Ming, and the core strength of the reform faction came from the legacy of the eight ministers.

"You can imagine that Zeng Guofan's benefactor died so tragically, wouldn't there be a trace of mustard in their hearts, wouldn't there be a trace of hatred?" Xiao Lotian said with a sneer.

"One more thing you don't know is that this Sushun is really an outlier among the Manchus, in 1859 he negotiated with the Russian envoy Ignachev, rebuked his aggressive demands, threw the text of the Treaty of Aihui on the table without ratification and exchange, and declared it a dead letter, meaningless......"

"Look, the hard bones in the Manchurians, to be honest, I really admire him, if the Qing Dynasty was ruled by him, I think the court situation would not be what it is now, but he knows that he uses Chinese talents, and he will not be so repulsive to Western learning, but it's a pity that the Manchurians kill their own talents......"

Xiao Letian and Qing Sanye's explanations finally made the people present understand the cruelty of the political struggle, this group of people has no worries about killing people for the sake of rights, even if they kill themselves, it doesn't matter, as long as they have the right in their hands, even if the flood is monstrous after death.

In the midst of everyone's discussions, there were fewer and fewer cards on the table, and the five wooden boards became cluttered, but people's hearts had a clearer grasp of the situation.

Who is the enemy, who is the ally, who is the backbone that can be fought for, are all hung on the planks clearly. Allies should have more contacts to share profits together, the backbone must be willing to spend money and official positions to win over, as for the enemy, it is easy to do, let the torture hall dig up the secrets behind them, who hasn't done a few ugly things to bully men and women.

"The statistics of the Hanchen Governor have been completed, and we can use at least 70% of the strength, and this force is safe......"

"The foreign forces are also safe, the United States and Prussia have made it clear that they support us, and the British have also declared limited support, and with their constraints, the French and Russians will not be able to make much waves at all, and they will ...... safe."

"The Restorationists are 100% safe, and this is the Prime Minister's hardcore ally......"

"What about Qingliu, how dangerous is it......" Qing Sanye asked loudly.

"Qingliu's security is only 20%, which is still the number reached under the bribery of 500,000 silver coins in the budget, and it is just to buy them a neutral. ”

"Let the torture hall do it...... Dig up the scandals of their ancestors and threaten them, and I won't believe that they are all clean......"

"Yes, Prime Minister ......" A group of people began to work again, analyzing the personalities of each person next to each other on the wooden board, and comparing the information of the torture hall, Xiao Hexin said half an hour later.

"We can win a maximum of 35% neutrality for the Qingliu forces, and the rest are a bunch of old stubborns!"

Xiao Letian rubbed his temples and sighed, "It's not easy to fight for thirty and a half, and then analyze the last royal family and see how much they can win?"

A group of people began to investigate one by one, but the more they investigated, the more incredible the expressions on people's faces became, and in the end, even Xiao Lotian saw the abnormality.

"How can this be? This is unbelievable......" Wang Huaiyuan counted three times in a row before finally getting the result.

"We actually got a 50% neutrality rate for the royal family, and half of these descendants of Aixin Jueluo actually reconciled with us......?

Everyone has doubts, but everyone can't question every number, the Xingtang and Qing Sanye's reformists have been desperately connecting in tandem in the past few months, and all the Manchu royal families who can speak have come into contact.

The royal family of the late Qing Dynasty is no longer what it was when the country was founded, and occasionally a few outstanding talents such as Su Shun were also killed, and the rest were all wise or greedy guys.

Xiao Letian's renovation plan for Longxugou has freed up hundreds of shops and thousands of houses, and Longxugou has already introduced living water, and the river is extremely clear.

On both sides of the bank are thick willow trees and clean masonry pavement, and the gutter hidden in the ground has taken away all the dirty water, and the entire Longxu ditch has suddenly turned from smelly and dirty to a high-end community in Beijing, and even the housing prices have increased tenfold.

And these real estate are all controlled in the hands of Xiao Letian, whether you are a prince and nobleman or a businessman, you have to honestly purchase real estate from Xiao Letian.

How could Xiao Letian give up this good opportunity to buy people's hearts, under his desperate propaganda, the shops and courtyard houses became the private property of the nobles, in exchange for their neutrality in the court.

Money was indeed a powerful weapon that could defeat politics, and when those Manchu nobles found that as long as they remained neutral, they could exchange for a future fortune of 100,000 or even 100,000 yuan, they all chose to retreat.

"Isn't Xiao Lotian not going to rebel? Since he promised that he would not rebel, that's enough, and the days have to go on, right? As long as the banner of the Manchu Qing Dynasty does not fall, as long as more and more money comes in from the family, who will be full of food and support to compete with Xiao Cheng in the East China Sea?"

"Don't forget, the current city of Beijing is still under the control of the bayonets of the new army!"

An incredible scene finally appeared, it was obviously a Manchu royal family, but under the temptation of Xiao Letian to do business together, he completely abandoned his previous insistence, and half of the royal family chose neutrality.

At this point, Xiao Letian's strategy of the Great Dynasty Meeting finally successfully guarded the palace, and he waited for three days to close the net, and the plan to transform the Qing Dynasty finally began to be implemented.
