Chapter 698: It's hard to ride a tiger

The results of Prince Hui's strict interrogation with the Zongren Mansion and the Criminal Department soon came out, saying that the crime of the elderly is unforgivable, and it should be executed according to the rules!

What made Peng Yunzhang unbelievable was that Bai Ye begged the emperor for extrajudicial mercy on the grounds that it was not trivial to behead the clan, and Wen Xiang knew that the emperor would not spare Qiying and actually seconded it.

Sure enough, the emperor was furious and angry and wanted to dismiss them.

Fortunately, Su Shun stood up and played a round, and even Prince Gong said that beheading Qiying would damage the royal face. The emperor did not punish Bai Ye and Wen Xiang, and even extrajudicial benevolence, and sent an edict to the Zongren Mansion and the Criminal Department to declare Zhu Yu, and gave Qiying to commit suicide!

Although it is also a death, this result is much better than being taken to the vegetable market and beheaded.

At the beginning, Peng Yunzhang racked his brains and didn't understand why Su Shun would uncharacteristically help Bai Ye and Wenxiang out of the siege, until he received the Tianjin report this morning, and he realized that this matter was not so simple.

The ministers Gui Liang and Hua Shana, the governor of Zhili, Tan Tingxiang, the household servant Zonglun, the cabinet bachelor and the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, Wu Erkuntai, and others, not only signed a peace treaty with foreigners without invitation, but also braved the world's disapproval to ask the emperor to approve the imperial seal on the peace treaty that humiliated the country!

The emperor is not only angry, but even has the heart to kill them, in the past half a day, Peng Yunzhang doesn't know how he survived, and his head is still buzzing when he is taken to the house by the old servant, as if he has suffered a serious illness.

Mr. Yang, a friend who was proficient in medical skills, saw that he seemed to have lost his soul, so he hurriedly took a silver needle and pierced a few acupuncture points, and asked his subordinates to boil a bowl of gruel, and fed it spoonful by spoonful, so that he had a little spirit.

Mr. Yang made another cup of tea, motioned for the maids to go out first, and then brought the door to the door and asked cautiously: "Dong Weng, is the emperor angry with you because of Qiying's matter?" ”

"It's not." Peng Yunzhang shook his head slightly, sat up and said: "I have always wondered, why does Han Si, such a shrewd person, know the truth of 'the sin of the abusive', and clearly know that I, Peng Yunzhang, because of the protection of Qiying, is already a mud bodhisattva crossing the river and it is difficult to protect himself, he is still blocking the door of the duty room of the military aircraft department, begging me to help Qiying to intercede with the emperor." ”

"Why did he do that?"

Peng Yunzhang took a sip of tea and said what happened in the court today.

Mr. Yang was secretly frightened when he heard this, and carefully read it in his mind, and couldn't help asking: "Dong Weng, do you mean that he has already received the news that Gui Liang and others signed a peace treaty with foreigners without invitation?" ”

"It must be, or he wouldn't have done that."

"He wants to use Bao Qiying to remind Dong Weng of you, to remind Bai Zhongtang, Lord Mu Yin and Lord Du?"

He wanted to take this opportunity to remind the emperor, but unfortunately the old man didn't think deeply about it at that time.

"Remind the emperor?"

"Forcing the emperor to approve the seal on the peace treaty that lost power and humiliated the country, no matter how he Gui Liang quibbled, his sin was only heavier than Qi Ying! Once this news spreads, no, it should spread soon, and there will be an uproar tomorrow at the latest. Qiying has been given to death, what do you think Gui Liang should be guilty of? ”

"If he breaks the contract with a foreigner without getting the will, even if he is brought to justice, he is to blame!"

"Brother, don't you know the situation in Tianjin," Peng Yunzhang sighed and said helplessly: "Although Gui Liang didn't dare to say it in the newspaper, the old man could think of how embarrassed he was. In the past, if they did not sign the peace treaty drawn up by the foreigners, the foreigners would go straight to the capital. Now if you don't ask the emperor to approve the seal in the peace agreement, the foreigners will go straight to the capital! ”

"Didn't the emperor order the monk to go to Tianjin to deal with the blockade?"

"Monk Greenqin went to Tianjin, and a group of remnants of the army that had just been collected were defeated, where could the foreigners be blocked? He even bluntly said in the newspaper that it was uncertain to start a war now. ”

Mr. Yang thought about it and asked puzzledly: "Dong Weng, you said that Han Si wanted to remind you, and he also wanted to take the opportunity to help Qiying intercede to remind the emperor, but what was his intention?" ”

"He wants to remind me and the emperor that the court situation cannot be swayed by the excited imperial historians." Seeing that Mr. Yang didn't seem to understand, Peng Yunzhang thought about it and explained: "It's easy to give death to Qiying, but it is impossible to give Qiying suicide but can't deal with Gui Liang, who is guilty of a greater crime, what can I do to block Youyou's mouth?" But if Gui Liang and others are really brought to justice, who will dare to deal with foreigners in the future? ”

Mr. Yang reacted and couldn't help muttering: "The same person who handles foreign affairs once lost power, only to end up with such a result, and no one dares to negotiate with foreigners in the future." ”

"The most terrible thing is that according to Gui Liang and Hua Shana, foreigners are not very willing to talk to them now."

"Why don't foreigners talk to them?"

"Because foreigners feel that they are not prime ministers, they are not enough to be full powers. And the system of foreigners, simple and free ministers, most of them have full powers, and it is very meaningful that they will not be subject to the king's orders outside. can be a plenipotentiary minister, most of them are fifth-class lords, or prime ministers. In other words, if Gui Liang is dismissed from his post and interrogated, the imperial court will send people to meet with the foreigners, and he can only send a few princes or me, Bai Ye, these ministers of military aircraft. ”

Mr. Yang finally figured it out and asked in surprise: "Dong Weng, according to what you say, Han Si is not only thinking about the emperor, but also worried about the safety of you and Bai Zhongtang, Lord Mu Yin, Lord Du and Lord Wen?" ”

"It's a pity that the old man didn't understand his good intentions at that time, and it's too late to say anything now."

"What do you mean by that?"

"The main battle is easy, and the main peace is difficult, but the current situation does not allow for fighting with foreigners, so we can only continue to deal with foreigners. And Gui Liang, Hua Shana and others tried their best to get around like this, is it difficult to change someone else to get a better result? ”

"Gui Liang can't be prosecuted!"

"But if Gui Liang is not investigated, what can I say about Qiying?"

"What does the emperor mean?" I love Search.com

"The emperor was furious, saying that the peace treaty presented by Gui Liang was humiliating to the country, and if the royal seal was approved, he would be sorry for the ancestors and ancestors, and sorry for the people of Li, and angrily scolded Gui Liang for losing his conscience."

"So the emperor wants to punish Gui Liang?"

"The emperor's heart is actually like a mirror, he knows very well that it is easy to bring Gui Liang to justice, but it will not help to bring Gui Liang to justice, in the end, let me wait for me to kneel down first, and let Ming'er discuss it again."

"Dong Weng, he was stupid in his later life, there is still something I don't understand, since Han Si wants to remind the emperor, why doesn't he have a fold?"

Peng Yunzhang stood up with the coffee table and muttered: "The upper fold will only give people a handle, how could he be such a shrewd person." If the old man guessed correctly, he originally planned to tell the emperor face to face when he met Qiying by helping Qiying intercede. As a result, the emperor thought that he just wanted to help Qiying intercede and didn't want to see him, so he thought of looking for a way around, and wanted to use the mouth of the old man and others to report to the emperor that he was running for Qiying, and then reminded him when the emperor summoned him to interrogate, but unfortunately the old man and others thought that he just wanted to help Qiying intercede. ”

Mr. Yang asked: "He is not afraid of angering the emperor, and he is not afraid that the emperor will punish him?" ”

"My brother doesn't know, although he is a donor, but he is a commendable person, and he is well-known for his love and righteousness. And he has been a colleague with Qingxian for so many years, in the emperor's opinion, it is not strange for him to help Qingxian intercede, if he does not help Qingxian to intercede, it will be unreasonable. ”

"I see, it turns out that he has already established himself in an invincible position."

"That's why sometimes you can't really judge heroes by their origins!"

……

At noon the next day, Han Xiufeng's worst fears finally happened.

The news that Gui Liang signed a contract with Xiyi without authorization spread all over the capital, and the court discussion was boiling, and rumors were swarming.

The officials of the Tong Dynasty, starting from the cabinet ministers, the six ministries, and the nine secretaries, to the Taiwan Counsel and Han Zhanzhi, were all passionate and generous, wept bitterly, and asked to stop the hospital, and made a big.

Yin Gengyun's limelight was quickly overshadowed by Yin Zhaoyong, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and his incisive recital was copied one after another, and Xiaoshan almost broke his head in order to compete for a copy.

When he sent Yin Zhaoyong's Qiwen back to Nanyuan, Han Xiufeng had just finished dinner and was discussing with Rong Lu and Wang Qianli how to send someone to Gubeikou to tell Qingxian the bad news that his Ama had been given death.

"Fourth master, I heard the guards at the Outside Affairs Office say that so many performances are the most ...... of Lord Yin's The sharpest, Lord Yin not only prepared a lot of copies, but also let the old men of the yamen and the students of the prefectures and counties of Zhili who came to Beijing in advance to prepare for the exam pass on the copy, and also read it out loud in the court. ”

"What's sharp?"

As soon as Han Xiufeng's voice fell, Ren Yu'er, who had just finished cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, took Yin Zhaoyong's excerpt and said, "Give it to me, I'll read it." ”

Han Xiufeng put down the teacup, looked up and said, "It's okay." ”

Ren Yu'er walked under the anti-wind foreign lamp, looked at it carefully, and read in a frustrated voice: "For the sake of peace, the disaster is fierce, seek to discuss and discuss, depose the evil scheme, decide its plan as soon as possible, and turn the crisis into safety." The matter is stolen from the foreigners, and the ignorant ministers all seek to make peace quickly. If the country is safe for a day, he will be the prince and prime minister for a day, and the society will not be worried. Qi Shan, Qi Ying, Yi Libu, etc., have made mistakes in the past, causing trouble in Tianjin today.

The rulers of the present day will be even worse if they are wrong. Recently, it was reported that in order to compensate for the military and other funds, China was unified by thousands of foreigners, and the land and silver were lost, but the order was to listen. And the disaster is especially fierce, if the capital set up a museum, Neijiang trade, and the provinces preach three articles. Those who hear it are heartbroken, although women and children know it! ”

Han Xiufeng nodded slightly: "It's really sharp, keep reading." ”

Ren Yu'er cleared her throat, and then read: "The minister's intention is Guiliang, Hua Shana, as a minister, if you have a little conscience, you can't bear to try to play, and you won't fall into its treacherous schemes." As the old saying goes: Don't nurture other people, it's really forced to deal with this. Song Taizuyun: Next to the couch, how can you allow others to snore?

The capital division is important, foreign tribute, it is still forbidden to enter and exit, to prevent its handover, to return after the ceremony, not allowed to stay, there is a strong enemy feud and listen to the chieftain's pavilion, mixed living in the same teeth, Wu Yue is rampant, Qiang Yi is full of streets? Since ancient times, it has never been heard of. Near the capital of the Ryukyus, the British entrenched in the nuisance, and even broke into the palace, do not dare to stop it, this trouble is not mentioned by the ministers.

The Yangtze River traces back to Shu from Wu to Shu, and runs through half of the world, which is different from the situation in Haikou. The trade of Haikou has been miscalculated, but it has been discarded in the human body, and it is like a quadriplegic disease. Neijiang Huayang miscellaneous place, then the center of the disease belly. The southeast is transported, not the sea is the river, the river is the only way to enter and exit, set up a day of the river and the sea and the stem, how to reach? The correspondence between officials and businessmen, the chapter is sparse, the gallop delivery of newspapers and newspapers, the sea is not the main road, and the Jiangshi thoroughfare. If the foreigners use a few boats to cross the river, the north and south will become two boundaries......"

Nearly 10,000 words were sprinkled, quoting scriptures, and loud sounds.

Wang Qianli is also a scholar, and he actually took over the song from Ren Yu'er's hand, and while reading it with unfinished meaning, he sighed: "It is worthy of being a Hanlin official, this article is really well done!" ”

"yes, that's well written." Han Xiufeng sighed lightly, turned around and asked with a wry smile, "Zhonghua, what do you think?" ”

"Acupuncture is bad, the writing is really good, it is too aggrieved to be a young man of Dali Temple like this, but it's a pity that my Ronglu people are soft-spoken, otherwise I really want to ask the emperor to let him go to deal with foreigners, or let him serve under the monk king."

"Fourth brother, Yin Zhaoyong's splendid article is doing well, but isn't this forcing the emperor to have no way out?" Ren Yu'er couldn't help but ask.

Without waiting for Han Xiufeng to speak, Rong Lu turned around and said, "Miss Yu'er, you may not believe it, I estimate that the emperor will not only not punish him, but will also promote him to an official!" ”

"It's ridiculous."

"It's not ridiculous at all, people occupy righteousness, this is righteous words, a loyal minister like him, whose official does the emperor promote if he doesn't promote his official?" Han Xiufeng took over the conversation, thought about it and said solemnly: "There is Gui Liang who is self-righteous and self-assertive, and there is Yin Zhaoyong and others who stand and talk without backache, making it difficult for the emperor to ride a tiger, I want to see how the princes in the court can help the emperor share this worry!" ”
