Guo Xing'a has a golden finger and knows that Su Shun will definitely die, but Su Shun doesn't know, he feels quite good. Su Shun felt that even if Yixin carried out a coup d'état, he would at most suffer a loss of power. Not to mention his life, he will not even lose his official position, but he can no longer hold the power of the world, and a scholar can still keep it.

If it weren't for the fact that Guo Xing'a was not killed by Su Shun, and he inserted a lever regardless of his previous suspicions, Su Shun would have been reduced to a prisoner at this time, but Su Shun's heart was not as afraid as his brother who was eating in prison and Zaiyuan. Although he doesn't have any reliable methods, he is still confident that he can get out. Because according to the usual practice, the trial of a case like theirs is by no means a matter of three or two days before the case can be concluded and convicted. At this time, it was the second day of the first month of October, and there was already an edict that the emperor's enthronement ceremony was scheduled to be held on the ninth day of the first month of October. Therefore, Su Shun felt that his life was absolutely not in danger.

Moreover, how to deal with important ministers like them, the Empress Dowager and Prince Gong Yixin will also follow the routine to consult the opinions of important Xinjiang ministers, such as Zeng Guofan, the governor of Liangjiang, and the official document of the governor of Huguang. Even if the Empress Dowager and King Gong wanted to put themselves to death, they took extraordinary measures and did not consult Zeng Guofan and others. During this period of time, the edict to depose the ministers and to ask them must have been announced to the world, in order to obey the promotion and maintenance of the generals and commanders in front of the Zeng, Guan, etc., after seeing this edict, even if they could not bring troops into Beijing to carry out the "military advice", they would definitely jointly make a concerted statement, earnestly affirm the ancestral system, and defend the ministers of the order.

At this time, the brothers Zeng Guofan and Zeng Guoquan had just recovered Anqing, an important town on the Yangtze River, from the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and the war with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was at the critical juncture of a decisive battle, and the imperial court's reliance on the Hunan army had reached an unprecedented level. What's more, Zeng Guofan is the commander of the Hunan army, and he is the "former enemy commander-in-chief" who controls the overall situation, and their brothers' accounts, the Empress Dowager Cixi and Prince Gong Yixin can't help but buy them no matter what. Another Huguang governor, Guan Wen, was regarded by the government and the opposition as the best among the banner men, but in fact, he, the "leader", completely relied on the Hunan army to succeed. Therefore, if Zeng Guofan asked him to stabilize the court situation and protect the eight ministers of Gu Ming, he could not help but buy Zeng Guofan's account. In a few days, there will be two important ministers of the Han Dynasty to lead the rescue, and even if Su Shun and the other three cannot be exempted from all punishments and resume their former positions as "ministers of the Praise Xiang Administration", they can at least return to "do things" with King Gong and other "upstarts", at most they will make a concession and agree to listen to the government, and no matter how bad they are, they will not die.

"Sixth brother, what do you think?" After listening to Su Shun's reason, Guoxing Adu was about to suffocate, when did Su Shun become so naïve.

Su Shun has a lot of grievances on weekdays, not only the Empress Dowager Cixi and Prince Gong, but also the nobles and bigwigs of the Manchu Dynasty who don't hate him to the core. Empress Dowager Cixi hated Su Shun for controlling the government, and contempt and bullying for many of her "courtesies without monarchs and ministers", Prince Gong hated Su Shun's rejection and blow to herself, and there were as many as eight ministers who took care of their lives, but they didn't have their own share, although it was the list that Emperor Xianfeng personally cut down, but Yixin could only understand these as the reason why Su Shun was obstructing him. The Manchu Dynasty's pro-noble bigwigs, such as Gui Liang and other banner nobles, hated him and never looked down on the banner people, not only often publicly scolded the flag people for being rice buckets, but also insisted on killing the representative figure of the banner people, Wenyuan Pavilion University Shi Baiye, on the "Wuwu Kechang fraud case". And Han bigwigs such as Zhou Zupei hated him for being high-flying and domineering, and there was no one in his eyes. The Manchu and Han ministers are close to each other, and with these confluences, Su Shun is already a must to die. Not only does he have to die, but he also has to die quickly, and he doesn't give him a chance to turn around.

"I know what you said, and I don't expect them, Jiangnan has someone to protect me!" Listening to Guo Xing's chatter about his bad popularity, Su Shun was already a little impatient.

"Sixth brother, it's not me who poured cold water on you! Although I haven't seen Zeng Guofan, I know a little bit. This person's style of doing things has always been to protect himself, and it is really unknown whether he will come forward to rescue you. And now the imperial court is in a hurry to use troops in Jiangnan, whether you are in power or the sixth master is in power, you must rely on his Hunan army with all your strength at this time. He and his Hunan generals don't have to come to this troubled water! ”

Guo Xing's words are mostly speculated, although Zeng Guofan did not save Su Shun in history, but it was because Cixi and Yixin moved too fast, Zeng Guofan didn't know the news, and Su Shun died. Whether Zeng Guofan will help Su Shun or not, Guo Xing'a actually can't say. But now, if Su Shun can't support him, his political foundation for King Jingnanqin will not be solid. After all, Guo Xing'a only has the identity of a minister of Tuogu, and he is not in the ranks of the ministers of Zanxiang Government, and it is difficult to get other help by himself.

"Zeng Bohan (Zeng Guofan) is a humble gentleman, how can he live up to his righteousness!" Su Shun is actually a little vague in his heart, and he can't say a little bit about Zeng Guofan. He was kind to Zeng Guofan, but it was all because of state affairs, and he didn't have any personal friendship.

Before Zigong returned to Luan, Su Shun had asked Wang Minyun, one of his six sons, to write a letter to Zeng Guofan, asking this important "former enemy commander-in-chief" to personally enter the Hajj to affirm the ancestral system and that the concubine was not allowed to come to the court. However, Zeng Guofan has always been worried and fearful, and did not express anything after receiving Wang Minyun's letter. Su Shun asked himself very well about Zeng Guofan's cautious character, thinking that Zeng Guofan's failure to express himself was actually a tacit understanding with himself. Looking back now, Zeng Guofan's attitude is really hard to say.

"Sixth brother, this time the sixth master is such a big deal, if he doesn't kill the eight of you, how can he end it! Do you think he'll be with you? If you live for a day, he will not be able to sleep for a day. This time, I was also made difficult by you to ride a tiger, it is better for you and me to jointly rebel, I will wave my troops to take the Beijing division to Qingjun's side! From the beginning of their respective reasons, Guo Xing'a found that Su Shun's attitude was loose, so he put forward his own ideas while the iron was hot.

"Fifth, the sixth brother has cheated you, and almost killed you, if you want to kill me, I don't blame you! But you want me to help you make trouble, and give you the opportunity to be Cao Cao and Wang Python, but there is no door! Su Shun refused, and didn't even give Guoxing Aliu room for discussion.

Guo Xing'a repeatedly wanted Su Shun to understand that one of them was now a rebel and the other was a criminal minister, and they were all in a dilemma. If we don't work together to kill those people in Beijing, no one will have good fruit to eat. But Su Shun firmly believes that the struggle between him and Yi Xin is only an internal struggle of the ruling class, and even if he loses, he will not have to worry about his life. Guo Xing'a, who was only fifteen years old, had a ghost in his heart and wanted to use his political influence to build momentum for him, and wanted to enter Beijing to be a chaotic minister and thief like Cao Cao. At this point, the matter froze, and neither of the two could convince anyone, so they could only break up unhappily.

Guo Xing'a, who was angry, wanted to get rid of Su Shun and go it alone, but Pi Runmin and others were all against it. Goxing's single-handedness is tantamount to giving up the name of righteousness, which is like a rebellion, and not a single ally can be pulled in. The current situation is not optimistic, even if the Gu'an army is invincible in the world, it is now in a precarious situation. Guoxinga and the central government have fallen out, and now there are enemies on all sides, with Yixin's capital to the west, Chunyou to Rehe to the north, Shengbao and Seng Lingqin's old department to the south, and a half-dead Wen Yu to the east. Goxinga is no longer suffering from the enemy on its back, but fighting on all sides, which is extremely strategically disadvantageous.

Moreover, Gu'an is not a good place in the first place, the area is small and there is no danger to defend, and the property and population are very poor. It used to be able to deal with mixing because it was able to absorb resources from other places, but now these resources can be cut off. Without the supply of external resources, the arsenal will have to stop production in a short time, and without the advantage of weapons, how can Guoxinga mix. Moreover, guarding such a fundamental place like chicken ribs also restrained a large number of troops in Guoxinga.

Therefore, Guoxing'a only has two options, one is that the imperial court takes the initiative to recruit Guoxing'a, and let the eight ministers carry the pot of murdering Guoxing'a, so that everyone is reconciled as before, and Guoxing'a continues to develop in northern Xinjiang. But this is not something that Guo Xing'a can decide, it depends on the meaning of the imperial court, if the imperial court is dead-hearted, Guo Xing'a will not be able to sue for peace. The second is to rely on the barrel of a gun to say things, Guoxinga now has the strength to take Beijing or Tianjin, and he can completely occupy a place, develop slowly by himself, and play a Romance of the Three Kingdoms with the Qing Dynasty and Hong Xiuquan. However, this option is not very perfect, because the Qing Dynasty can completely abandon Beijing and move the capital to resist the war, and it is difficult for Guoxinga to get rid of the dilemma of being attacked from all sides, and even if there is a successful day, it will be at least twenty or thirty years later. And the risk of doing so is extremely high, and if you are not careful, you will be defeated and killed.

Lasushun into the water can solve many problems, Guoxing'a is Tuogu, Sushun is Zanxiang, they can join forces to represent Xianfeng's will, and they will not fall into political isolation. Su Shun's connections are not given in vain, at least he is in the same boat as Su Shun, even if Zeng Guofan does not support it, he will definitely be embarrassed to do it with them. Moreover, people like Wen Yu and others are relatively close to Su Shun, and with Su Shun's support, Wen Yu's worries can be solved immediately, and it can also be a good help. In the future, when the army comes to the city of Beijing, there will be many officials in Beijing who will stand on Sushun's side. Even if Yixin and the Empress Dowager still took the emperor to move the capital to resist the war, Guo Xing'a could also set up a provisional government in Beijing in the name of Su Shun, be Liu Bei's uncle Liu Huang, and the army was in his own hands, and he wanted to change Cao Cao in the future, which is a matter of one sentence.

Guo Xing'a very much agrees with the views of Pi Runmin and others, but Su Shun is stubborn, he can't listen to what he says, and he can't do anything. He can forge Su Shun's signature, but he can't stop Su Shun from seeing someone! Su Shun refused to help him speak, and he made a dry speech, which was useless.

When Guoxing'a was scratching his head, Yixin and Cixi in the capital were also scratching their heads. Yixin still complained a little bit about Cixi, you said that you got rid of Sun Monkey, what is the situation now that the monkey is in a hurry. But complaining is complaining, and the way is still to be found, and you can't watch the monkeys make trouble in the heavenly palace. But Guo Xing'a is a big hedgehog, and no one can beat him, which is really a headache, but fortunately, there is still a Wenxiang.

Wen Xiang is worthy of being Yi Xin's mastermind, and he also sees Guo Xing'a's current predicament, so he proposed two strategies for Yi Xin. The first strategy is to appease Guo Xing'a, and put all the blame on Su Shun according to the original plan. This can eliminate the immediate disaster, but in the future, if Guoxing'a arrives in the northern Xinjiang, he will have to find another way. The second strategy is to stew Goxinga and Sushun with a spoonful, directly declare Goxinga a rebel, mobilize people from all walks of life in Gyeonggi to fight a war of attrition with Goxinga, and would rather let Goxinga wreak havoc on Gyeonggi than consume him alive. This can be done once and for all, but Guoxing's combat power is too strong, and if it really starts, it is estimated that Beijing City will have to be drawn.

Wen Xiang never thought that Yi Xin and Cixi just listened to him selectively, and then creatively came up with a third strategy.
