Xianfeng on Chengde's side was completely lying down, and if he didn't want to recuperate, he had no ability to move, and he had fallen into a coma that made the whole country uneasy. Of course, Xianfeng is not a vegetative person, he is sometimes in a coma, sometimes awake, but he has no ability to speak for several days.

Su Shun, Jing Shou, Yi Cheng, and Yi Xun never left an inch, waiting in front of the dragon couch day and night. Jing Shou is the brother-in-law of Emperor Xianfeng, loyal and honest. However, the ability is average, and it is better to say that it is simple in thought and free of distractions. If it doesn't sound good, it's a nest and a waste. The fifth master is six days younger than Xianfeng, but he has not been treated by Daoguang since he was a child, and he is a person who values love and righteousness, but he is a little debauched. In the twenty-sixth year of Daoguang, he passed it to Prince Xuan of the side branch, and he was no longer Xianfeng's younger brother in law. He is a warm-hearted, nosy, and somewhat cynical, whether it is his father or brother, they have not cleaned him up. The county king, Baylor, the county king, and the prince tossed him several times in terms of ups and downs, but he still valued family affection. But because he is not used to it, he never asks about government affairs. Now guarding Xianfeng day and night, he doesn't have any political intentions, he is just taking care of his brother.

The seventh master Yiyun is Xianfeng's brother and brother-in-law, and Yi Guifei's sister is now the seventh king Fujin. Yi Xun is young and competitive, and his blood is strong, but his mind can't keep up with his ambitions. Now he is the Minister of the Guard, and he is the King of Alcohol. Xianfeng lay down, he was very anxious, but he was not as simple as his fifth brother, he was very anxious and complicated, and the share of family affection was very small. He was not accustomed to being obedient and longing for power, although he knew that Xianfeng represented a huge political change this time, whether he lived or died, he couldn't think of a way to make a profit. In addition to worrying every day, it is to give Su Shun a smile.

Su Shun is not the same as this noble, these three are either idlers or semi-idlers, but Su Shun is a scholar of the household department and a co-organizer, and there are many important things waiting for him to do. But now that he doesn't care about anything, Su Shun must always stay by the emperor's side. Although Su Shun was born noble, he was very unlucky in the first half of his life, and he was almost a street scoundrel. It was Xianfeng who gave him the opportunity to advance and let him show his talent and become an important minister of the dynasty. It was also Xianfeng who gave him great trust and made him govern the world and become the world's most powerful Zaifu. The person who is a confidant dies, Xianfeng is not only the emperor of Sushun, but also the confidant of Sushun. For Xianfeng's illness, Su Shun was helpless, and for Xianfeng's possible death, Su Shun was grief-stricken. Su Shun has no power to return to heaven, so he can only stay by Xianfeng's side, like a filial son, guarding his confidant.

Of course, as a political figure, Su Shun can't leave Xianfeng's side. Xianfeng's life is only in the blink of an eye, and if he wakes up, he may be left behind. If Su Shun is here, he is the minister who undertakes the order, if he is not there, the important political capital is gone, not to mention, if someone tampers with the edict, it will be a catastrophe. Su Shun knows that this moment is crucial, and he must not be lazy and relaxed, otherwise his previous achievements will be wasted. After a few days, Su Shun's eyes were red, his cheeks collapsed, and his face was even paler. But for Xianfeng, for the sake of the imperial court, Su Shun must grit his teeth and persevere.

These days, whether it is the civil and military forces in Chengde, the princes, and the nobles, they want to greet Xianfeng, but they are also blocked by Su Shun. These people are here to find out the news, how can there be sincere people, Xianfeng is seriously ill, how can he withstand the toss of these people. The concubines in the harem, except for the queen, Yi Guifei, and Concubine Li, everyone else was also blocked by Su Shun. Xianfeng's concubines are too many, if everyone is put in and cry, Xianfeng will not talk about recuperation, and they will be annoyed to death. Su Shun became a villain, and he didn't know how many people he had offended, let alone what people were talking about him behind him.

"This Su Liu, it's too much. Once he is in power, will we still have a way to live? Bahu, Bahu, I've never seen such a domineering person! ”

"I don't think he's beautiful for a few days. Only the wicked will descend, and sooner or later someone will clean him up. ”

"Since ancient times, 'no poison, no ruthlessness, no husband'. The more this kind of person can be a high-ranking official, maybe he can get an auxiliary minister to do! If he didn't want to be an auxiliary minister, he would be so tormented! Bah! ”

“…………”

Beijing is much quieter on the surface than Chengde, but there is a turbulent undercurrent underneath. On the afternoon of the second day of Xianfeng's longevity, Wen Xiang, minister of military aircraft, received an official letter from Chengde, which was sent by Chengde with the military plane and was sent in an expedited manner of 400 miles that morning. There was a palace lamp-like mark on the fire paint used for sealing, and Wen Xiang knew that the matter was important at first glance, and immediately rushed to Prince Gong's mansion to discuss with Yixin.

Yi Xin was not at home, but was busy negotiating tariffs with the customs director of Goxinga, the Englishman Hurd, who had just completed the Prime Minister's National Affairs Yamen. After getting the news from his family, he hurried back to the mansion. After reading the unsigned letter full of strange words, he hurriedly found the Minister in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Bao Jun, the university scholar Guiliang, and the military aircraft Zhang Jing and Zhu Xueqin to discuss countermeasures. learned of an accident on the Wanshou Festival and the news that Su Shun and others blocked Chengde, Yixin and others secretly called it lucky. If it weren't for a double agent in Chengde, they wouldn't have been able to grasp the situation of Xianfeng at all, let alone know about Su Shun's deployment. But now that I know, the effect is not great, Xianfeng still insists, and Yixin does not dare to act rashly. Now Yixin and his cronies are most concerned about Xianfeng's life and death, what to do if the emperor is alive and what to do if he is dead.

Yi Xin's biggest political enemy is his brother Xianfeng, and now that his brother is about to hang, he can naturally let go of his hands and feet. However, Xianfeng's head horse Sushun and Xianfeng's team will definitely not be willing to hand over Xianfeng's world to Yixin. So the next enemies of Yixin are Su Shun, Zaiyuan and Duanhua, and their accomplices Kuang Yuan, Du Han, Mu Yin, Jiao Youying and others. Looking at the current situation, the Sushun party has the upper hand, because they control the emperor who is about to die.

Xianfeng will not always hold on half-dead like this, once Xianfeng is breathless, who will take over, how to arrange behind him, and who will govern, but they are all in Su Shun's hands. This is very important, it is related to the fate of Prince Gong and his comrades, and it can be said that it is a life-and-death struggle. Yi Xin is actually more afraid of Su Shun, and the two are comparable in terms of talent, but when it comes to bold decisions, Yi Xin is not as good as Su Shun too much. If Su Shun replaces Xianfeng, who is generally talented, and cleans up Yixin in the name of the righteousness of the Son of Heaven, Yixin's little power will definitely be finished, and there will be not one or two clan relatives who were killed by Su Shun.

"The palace lantern is really powerful, everything is ahead of us. Once the emperor makes a big move, it can only do harm to you and me, I think we have to make two preparations. Bao Jun looked at the secret letter from Chengde, and his heart was like frying, but he hadn't called him by his name yet.

Since Xianfeng ascended the throne, Yixin has been cleaned up too badly, so he has developed a cautious character everywhere. He is extremely concerned about the contact of his subordinates, and even more so about the spies operating in Chengde. The activities of the officials in Chengde who are secretive are quite secretive, and the "secret notes" written when communicating with the outside world cannot be understood by outsiders who do not know the details. For example, some extremely important content, in order to prevent leakage, they use a way called "nesting" - that is, a piece of paper is densely filled with words, but the real meaning of this text is by no means what you can see between the lines. It is also necessary to use another "auxiliary tool" - another piece of white paper of the same size with small holes in different places, and when reading, you must first cover this blank paper on the text, and then read the words exposed in the small holes coherently, in order to understand what the author has really written. In addition, whenever important figures such as Su Shun are mentioned in these "secret books", they do not directly state their names or official "official titles", but use a kind of "code name" similar to a nickname. For example, when they mentioned Sushun, they all wrote "palace lamp" (because the word "Su" in Sushun is written in Li, and its shape is like a palace lamp), called Prince Yi Zaiyuan "Xintai" (this is a split of the word "Yi" by splitting the wording), called Prince Zheng Duanhua "Lao Zheng" (hereditary Prince Zheng), and called Jiao Youying "Ma Weng" (because this prince has pockmarks on his face).

"How to deal with it!" Yi Xin secretly hated his brother for lacking virtue in his heart, if Xianfeng was willing to return to Luan, it would be good if he died in Beijing.

"With the current situation, and with the reason that the country depends on the king, it is impossible to force the emperor to agree to the brother and brother. After the emperor is buried in Chengde, it is inevitable that the prince Zaichun will ascend the throne. It is also a precedent that when the lord is young, he should be assisted by the prince. Among the princes, you are the most respected by the sixth master, so naturally the sixth master should be the auxiliary government. If this is the case, it is the best, the prince is in the center, and the young master is assisted, and it is also the Duke of Zhou. However, now that the emperor is in Chengde, and there are palace lamps and others who are obstructing him, I am afraid that this will never be arranged. If it is to govern with the palace lamp and its party, let's give him a military advice! Bao Jun is also a ruthless character, and when he said this, his eyes were full of fierceness.

"Soldier!" Yi Xin has been suppressed for too long, and he is already a little cowardly in his subconscious, so even when he is the most dominant, he does not have the courage to have a showdown with Xianfeng.

"Yes, it is not uncommon for the soldiers of the past dynasties to admonish them, if the Gong Deng gang holds the young master hostage, it will cause trouble to the Qing Dynasty. The sixth master should be the prince and the emperor's uncle, raise troops and admonish the army, and clear the king's side. At that time, if the young lord is here, the prince can still be the Duke of Zhou, and if the young lord is unlucky, the prince will be the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty. "The secret room is discussed, and Bao Jun doesn't have too many scruples on his lips.

"Pole, pole! Shengbao's army is between Beijing and Tianjin, and there is no one to stop the land of Heshuo, and the army can come to Chengde in two days. Zhu Xueqin took the case again and again, and he very much agreed with Baojun's suggestion.

"And Monk Grinqin! The monk king is loyal to the present, but the relationship with the palace lantern is very average. If it is a royal funeral, the deployment behind him does not conform to the convention, the prince ascends to the heights and shouts, and the monk and the king must be the head of the prince! "Yi Xin and Monk Greenqin can also be regarded as sharing hardships, Yixin is full of affection, and Monk Greenqin admires Yixin very much. So Gui Liang, who was a little uneasy about Shengbao, immediately thought of Monk Greenqin.

"Is it these two preparations?" Yi Xin still hesitated.

"Waiting for the emperor's wisdom is not a kind of preparation, just said that the soldiers were just a way. The second preparation is to use foreigners. I think that with the prestige of the sixth master and the relationship with the foreigners, the ministers of various countries will support the sixth master. As long as the foreigners open their mouths, they are not afraid that the palace lantern party will not disappear. "Bao Jun is an enterprising person, and resigning himself to fate is not his option.

"It's good, it's good. But as long as there is a silver line, don't let foreigners interfere. One is that people are terrible, and the other is that foreigners have ill intentions, for fear of causing new trouble. "Zhu Xueqin did not support Baojun this time.

"If there is any trouble, it is a big deal to reward them with one or two more ports. If the Gong Deng party is in power, it will be really troublesome! Bao Jun disagreed.

"Hmmm! Both of these strategies are feasible, so without further ado, let's start preparing! After thinking about it, Yi Xin felt that Bao Jun's idea was almost impeccable, and finally made up her mind.

Yi Xin immediately assigned everyone's errands, Gui Liang and Yi Xin looked for ministers from various countries to find out, Zhu Xueqin and Bao Jun immediately went out of Beijing to meet the monk king and Shengbao respectively, and Wen Xiang presided over the military plane and responded at any time. A few people felt that the plan had been decided, and they had already gotten up and were about to go their separate ways, but Wen Xiang, who had not spoken, stopped a few people.

"Sixth Master, what should I do with Chengde's Guoxinga? Gong Deng was kind to him, and after he went to Chengde, Gong Deng also treated him very kindly. If things change, Guo Xing'a is afraid that he will stand on the side of the palace lamp. Wen Xiang also felt that Bao Jun's arrangements were very reasonable, but after thinking about it for a while, he still found that Bao Jun had missed a person, Guoxing, who was in Chengde with heavy troops.

"Yun Xian's loyalty to the emperor may not be as much as he said! The two of them have met each other, how can Yun Xian work hard for the emperor. And when I was in Beijing, I had made an appointment with him, so he probably wouldn't! Yi Xin's blood cooled down all of a sudden.

"Guo Xing'a may not be loyal to the emperor, but the martial artist attaches great importance to kindness and righteousness, and Guo Xing'a will definitely not ignore the palace lamp. Moreover, although Guo Xing'a admired the sixth master at that time, but at this time and that time! In the last turmoil, with Guo Xing's means, he will definitely be able to find out the ins and outs, and it is hard to guarantee that he will not hate the prince! Wen Xiang frowned, how did he think that Guo Xing'a would stand on Su Shun's side.

"I've cleaned up all the people in the middle, how can Guo Xing'a find out clearly!" Bao Jun said disdainfully.

"I also hope that he doesn't, so Guo Xing'a may be neutral between the prince and the palace lamp, but it's almost impossible! When Guo Xing'a had a dispute with Shengbao in Beijing, he once exposed Shengbao's privacy in public, as if he knew everything. Later, I also paid attention to it, Guo Xing'a can grasp many things in advance, and I think that he must have a team of people who are dedicated to listening to information and investigating flirtatious abuses. Last time, even if Guo Xing'a can't fully find out, he must know everything! Wen Xiang shook his head.
