Chapter 304: Something Happened Again (Second Update)
Guo Xing'a returned to the camp, and the miscellaneous affairs department was running at full capacity. Now there is no doubt, Weng Tonggong's participation in the impeachment of Guo Xing'a is definitely not an emergency of revenge, there must be powerful people behind the scenes. And the routine is played very deeply, even if all the bullets in the end can be handled like Weng Tongyi's twists and turns, Guo Xing's reputation is not wanted.
There is an auspicious saying for scholars, called Lianzhong Sanyuan, which means that in the imperial examination, the scholar has successively won the township examination Xie Yuan, the Hui Yuan of the Hui Examination, and the champion of the palace examination, which is regarded as the highest honor of the scholar, of course, there are very few people who can obtain this honor throughout the ages. Guo Xing'a became a three-term champion among officials, and he was impeached for three consecutive terms, which is also a rare miracle in ancient times. The champion is not necessarily a good person, but after all, he is the best among the scholars, and he has attacked Guo Xing'a for three consecutive years, and Guo Xing'a's reputation in the government and the opposition is completely over. Even if Xianfeng still doesn't blame Guo Xing'a, the officials will definitely look at Guo Xing'a. The person who planned behind it can be regarded as having a heart, whether this impeachment is successful or not, Guo Xinga will definitely be disgraced.
Among the two people who rushed up this time, Sun Ru had never touched practice since he only joined the office, either reading books in the Hanlin Academy, or going to be an examiner, and there was almost nothing to find out from him, to his old-timer Zhang Zhiwan had some content.
Zhang Zhiwan's character is Qing, a native of Nanpi, and the champion of Daoguang in the twenty-seventh year. But he entered the ranks early, Daoguang was a tribute student in the seventeenth year, and in the nineteenth year, he learned to walk in the seventeenth year of the Beijing official criminal department, so after becoming the champion, he soon began to get in touch with practice. Moreover, the buddies have also been in contact with military affairs, and during the Northern Expedition of the Taiping Army and the Twist Army, they not only offered advice, but also visited the front line. After returning to Beijing, he joined the study room, and was also responsible for teaching the prince of the clan and the prince of the county to read, and had a close relationship with the clan. After the British and French forces attacked Dagukou, Zhang Zhiwan was ordered to supervise the regimental training with Jiao Youying, the Minister of Military Aircraft, and Chen Hong, the imperial historian, although it was not effective, but the relationship with Yixin also became a little ambiguous. In addition to his actions in the court, he also has a well-known cousin Zhang Zhidong in Guoxing's family.
"Sun Ru is only a scholar, and anyone can fool him, but it is really suspicious that this Zhang Zhiwan is in a high position and attacks the military gate so recklessly." After the rough information came back, Zou Degui immediately locked on to the target.
"What are these two people involved in me! I don't know what I've been charged with. "Guo Xing'a has always thought that someone is going to deal with him, so he mainly analyzes who the enemy is, but he doesn't even know what he is accused.
"Sun Ru only said that you killed the eunuch in charge of Anyou Palace without authorization, and you are suspected of killing Wen Feng, the minister in charge of the Old Summer Palace! Zhang Zhiwan sued you for looting the Old Summer Palace, using the military disaster as a cover to steal the treasures in the garden! Pi Runmin handed the two copies of the folds sent by Su Shun to Guo Xing'a.
"When Lao Tzu entered the garden, Wen Feng had already jumped into the river and died, what about Lao Tzu?" Guo Xing'a was wronged by this one.
"Wen Feng's death is only Sun Ruwei's speculation, but the eunuch in Anyou Palace has a witness, who is the grandmother of Anyou Palace, saying that he saw our officers and soldiers take people away, and when they found them again, they drowned. Zhang Zhiwan also listed the testimony of a large number of eunuchs and palace maids, saying that our people had collected all the treasures of the palace. Zou Degui frowned, this time it was a little difficult, the other party had a lot of human certificates in his hand.
"She didn't see us killing, why did she say that we killed him, the eunuch himself ran away and fell into the lake and drowned! I am not afraid of this kind of lawsuit to the edge of the sky, anyway, there is no proof of death! Guo Xing'a didn't care in his mouth, but he secretly hated that Xishou was not clean, why didn't he throw the troubled palace maid into the lake together.
"Sun Ruwei's impeachment has a lot of loopholes, so there is nothing to be afraid of, and Zhang Zhiwan is a little troublesome." Pi Runmin also felt that Sun Ruwei's participation was easy to handle, and he didn't admit it.
"We received the things from each palace, but after that, I returned them to Prince Gong, there is a delivery list, he Zhang Zhiwan found a few eunuchs and wanted to pull me into the water, it is not easy!"
Guo Xing'a was still prepared, and after arriving in Beijing, he took advantage of the chaos to hand over the Old Summer Palace to Yixin. It's just that they are all portraits of emperors of the past dynasties, ritual utensils used for memorials, and then there are some worthless things. At that time, there was a shortage of soldiers, and Yixin didn't even know whether he could keep Beijing, so of course he wouldn't carefully check these things. And in order to win over Guoxing, even if he knew that there was a shortage of things, Yixin would treat it as if he had been robbed by foreign devils and rioters.
"Zhang Zhiwan knows that you have made a settlement with Prince Gong, but he is looking for eunuchs with duties, and he remembers that there are things in his palace. He took the confessions of the eunuchs and the list of Prince Gong, and made a list of the missing treasures, saying that you had hidden these things. "Zou Dehui admires Zhang Zhiwan a lot, and he is very detailed.
"There is no basis for the words, they were thieves and soldiers at the time, a group of eunuchs who were scared and stupid, how can they take what they dictated from memory afterwards. Didn't Xishou make a batch of lists? We will come out with evidence written in black and white, and we are afraid that he will not succeed! "Because of the relationship between Fushun, Xishou can occasionally give a hand to the miscellaneous department, and the main job is to fake.
"I'm afraid Xishou's list is useless, he has done it too carefully, and we have given a lot of things to Prince Gong, things that are too perfect, easy for people to see fake." Zou Degui firmly believes that there should be nothing perfect in the world.
"It's okay, I've tested the emperor's attitude, he doesn't dare to touch me, I'll give him a step down. The two gentlemen will follow my wishes, and fold it out and hand it over! "Guo Xing'a has eaten Xianfeng to death now.
"Okay, Brother Huaiyuan will draft the draft in a while, and I'll write it!" Pi Runmin wrote down all the main points.
"It's a trivial matter to deal with the emperor, we have to figure out who is messing with me! If you can't see the enemy, you can't sleep! "Guo Xing'a is not afraid of the gong and drum in front of him, but he is really afraid that he will not be able to dodge this cold arrow.
"If it is a petty fight like Weng Tonggong, the emperor may still acquiesce in order to knock on the military door. But for such a big crime as the robbery of the Old Summer Palace, the emperor himself was caught between the impeachment seal, and it would never come from the emperor's instructions. Pi Runmin began to analyze the people who are capable of doing this.
"Prince Gong looks very suspicious, these three champions are in Beijing with Prince Gong at the moment, it is very easy for Prince Gong to instigate them, and some information about the Old Summer Palace can only be provided to them by Prince Gong. However, Prince Gong has an appointment with the military gate in advance, and it is not good for Prince Gong to attack the adults like this! Zou Degui began to study Yixin.
"Could it be that Prince Gong is in Beijing, and he learned about the relationship between the military gate and Su Zhongtang and Concubine Yi, and he was worried that the alliance would change, so he did something to the military gate!" Pi Runmin feels that Yixin is not without motives.
"There is such a possibility, but the alliance between the military gate and Prince Gong is not just because of selfish interests, but mainly because of the same views on the general government, and it is easy not to be swayed by personal feelings. And Prince Gong is extremely risky to do this, it is easy to find out that he did it, once the military gate turns against him and completely falls to the emperor, Prince Gong will immediately fall into a situation from which he will never recover! Zou Degui still thinks that Yixin will not be like this.
"If the military gate goes, the entire north of the Yellow River will have the strongest military strength in Shengbao, and Prince Gong will win. Moreover, the military gate has a tough personality, and once he turns against the emperor, he is very likely to support Prince Gong. Therefore, although Prince Gong is risky to do this, the benefits are high,......" Pi Runmin still doubted Yixin.
"Wait! You see if there is such a possibility, the emperor instructed me to attack, but he deliberately made us find out that Prince Gong was very suspicious, so as to make me completely fall to him. "Guo Xing Ake is a person who has watched all kinds of conspiracy theory movies, and his brain is relatively open.
"What the military gate sees is not unreasonable!"
Pi Runmin and Zou Degui were both shocked by Guo Xing'a, and they answered a little slower. Of course, I first admired Guo Xing'a for thinking deeply, but at the same time, I felt a little unreliable. Because if you follow this line of thought, it is also possible that Prince Gong deliberately attacked Guo Xing'a, so that Guo Xing'a suspected that Xianfeng framed Prince Gong, and the endless cycle will never end.
"Both of them are suspicious, but no matter who instigates it, I'm afraid there will be a follow-up!" Guo Xing'a really entered a dead loop, but he is relatively simple, and if he can't tell the difference, he just thinks that both of them are suspicious.
"Yes! Weng Tongyi, Zhang Zhiwan and others can't bring down the military gate, it must be just a prelude, and there must be a powerful follow-up! Pi Runmin also agrees with Guo Xing'a's point of view, the key now is to prevent the enemy's backhand, as for whether it was instigated by Xianfeng or instructed by Yixin, it can be studied slowly later.
"In addition to these things that they have already told the emperor, have I done anything out of the ordinary?" Goxinga struggles to reflect on his past.
"Sit back and watch the defeat of Monk Greenqin and not save it!" Pi Runmin thought of it first.
"This is not true, there was no will at that time, how could I bring troops into Gyeonggi without permission. Moreover, the government along the way can testify to us that when Seng Lingqin's army was defeated at Bali Bridge, our army had just set off from Gu'an. He lost so quickly, and it was reasonable that I didn't have time for him. Goxinga denied this.
"Hiding the heavy weapons of the military state and not handing them over to the imperial court?" Zou Degui thought of the weapons of the Gu'an Army again.
"They don't understand where our guns are advanced, and they can't tell the difference between our guns and the foreigners, and they think that I captured them from the foreigners! And no one has ever asked me, it's not my sin! ”
The officials of the Qing Dynasty had not yet received modern knowledge, and they did not even understand the meaning of rifling, and they could not understand the good guns of Guoxing'a at all. Moreover, most of the weapons developed by Goxinga involved knowledge of chemistry and other aspects, and they knew nothing. Moreover, the imperial court still thinks that the Gu'an army can go through repeated battles and victories is the relationship between Goxinga, and the understanding of the war is still maintained in the general's plan is not brave, although it also knows the power of the weapon, but it is not particularly important. Therefore, no one has ever asked for weapons from Goxinga.
Several people discussed for a long time, but they didn't come up with a reason to settle Guoxing'a with one blow, so in the end they could only write an excerpt of the argument first, and then discuss the rest later. Early the next morning, a decree came from the palace to summon Guo Xing'a into the palace. Guo Xing'a didn't care, brewed tears of grievance, and took Fuquan and other guards into the palace.
"Your Excellency is entangled in these miscellaneous matters, delaying important matters such as the expansion of the army! If only I didn't have this faint gentleman on my head! Only Pi Runmin and Zou Degui remained, and Pi Runmin began to sigh.
"Brother Huaiyuan?" Zou Degui didn't answer for a long time, but looked at Pi Runmin in a daze, which made Pi Runmin a little uncomfortable.
"It's bad, Han Ying, you go and chase the military gate back immediately! Woe to you! Zou Degui picked up from the chair at once.
"What's wrong?" Pi Runmin didn't think of anything.
"You and I and these staff members are the biggest sin of the military gate!" Zou Degui was so anxious that he stomped his feet.
"Quick, go after it!" Pi Runmin reacted immediately.
In the successive impeachments, Xianfeng recruited Guo Xing'a into the palace, which seemed to have a hint of ominousness.
