Chapter 350: Officially Launched (2nd Update)
When Zaiyuan led the way and prayed with the seven ministers, Prince Gong Yixin had already spoken about the Mandate of Heaven and was ready to clean them up. Yi Xin and the others came out without delay at all, and went directly to the military aircraft. In case of unexpected soldiers, Yi Xin and Wen Xiang had already arranged it. Zaiyuan and the others had just watched their recital of the curtain in the house, and when they saw them from afar, they knew that the comer was not good, and they were not to be outdone. At this moment, the picture is already exhausted, and everyone has nothing to be polite about.
"Edict, Zaiyuan, Duanhua, Jingshou, Mu Yin, Kuang Yuan, Du Han, and Jiao Youying receive the order!" Prince Gong Yixin blushed, stood solemnly in front of several people, and began to proclaim.
"All the edicts must be drafted by a few of us, and now a few of us have not accepted the decree, where did this edict of the sixth uncle come from?" What went wrong with the two palaces, Zaiyuan didn't know, but the majesty of the Iron Hat King was still there, so Zaiyuan stood tall and asked with a sneer.
"The edict that has not been accepted by a few of us is either 'chaotic' or 'overbearing'! Sixth, you are not only the prince of Emperor Xuanzongcheng (Daoguang), but also the younger brother of Emperor Daxing (Xianfeng), so you naturally know the consequences of 'chaotic life' and 'edict'! Duanhua also threatened aggressively. Until this moment, several of them still didn't believe that the two palaces would join forces with Xianfeng's political opponent Yi Xin, thinking that Yi Xin was overbearing and wanted to launch a coup d'état.
Duanhua also put a big hat on Yixin here, and the so-called "chaotic life" refers to the orders issued by the emperor under abnormal circumstances, or not in line with the emperor's original intentions, or contrary to reasonable logic. Of course, whether it is a "chaotic life" depends on the subjective judgment of the executor.
Later, when the Qing Dynasty declared war on the Eight-Nation Alliance, the Empress Dowager Cixi issued an edict ordering Li Hongzhang, then the governor of Liangguang, Liu Kunyi, the governor of Liangjiang, and Zhang Zhidong, the governor of Huguang, to immediately expel or arrest the diplomats of the belligerent countries in the jurisdiction, and at the same time send troops north to protect King Qin. Li Hongzhang and others refused to carry it out on the grounds that "this is a 'chaotic life' and is not the original intention of our Empress Dowager." In addition, in the name of the local government of the Qing Dynasty, they signed the "Treaty of Mutual Protection in Southeast China" with the belligerents, promising that the southeastern region of China would not be involved in the war in the north and that all the interests of the belligerents in the region would not be infringed upon, thus avoiding the emergence of a situation in which China would be fully involved in the war. After the defeat of the Qing Dynasty, in order to shirk the responsibility of the war in front of other countries and keep her dominant position in the Qing Dynasty unaffected, the Empress Dowager Cixi even simply said that all the edicts that started the war were the "chaotic fate" of "war criminals" such as Duanjun Wang Zaiyi and the Minister of Military Aircraft Gangyi, which was not her original intention. The so-called "edict" is what is commonly referred to as "false proclamation". Whether it is a person who blinds and coerces the emperor to issue a "disorderly order" or a person who "overkills", the law is a crime of rebellion.
Yi Xin didn't have the time to talk to them at this time, the so-called fast enough to cut the mess, let these people make trouble, I'm afraid there will be changes. Zaiyuan used to be the minister of the guard, and he didn't dare to say that there were absolutely no cronies in this palace. Duanhua is the current owner of the Blue Flag, and if he wants to make a big fuss, the idlers with the Blue Flag may not follow to make trouble. Seeing that Zaiyuan and Duanhua did not have the slightest intention of obeying the edict, in order to avoid trouble, Yi Xin, who had already been arranged, did not talk nonsense with them, and even read the edict to them. Immediately ordered the guards to take down Zaiyuan and Duanhua, and the guards who had been prepared for a long time swarmed up and controlled Zaiyuan and Duanhua.
"The eight lambs of the king who do not have the royal law, we are the ministers of the Zanxiang government who are the emperors of Daxing, which of you dare to take them?" Of course, Zaiyuan and Duanhua struggled hard, but the two little old men, where could they get these five big and three thick young men, and they were subdued in two clicks. The guards didn't care about their identities, and the two of them were robbed of their clothes and crowned by two, and they were set up out of the Longzong Gate.
There were still a few guards outside the Longzong Gate, although there were not many in total, but Zaiyuan and Duanhua still wanted to call them to struggle again. But when they arrived at the door, their hearts were completely cold, and their entourage had already been tied up with ropes, and they were even more embarrassed than the two of them! The two hereditary "iron hat princes" were escorted into the Zongren Mansion and imprisoned in this way with full of unwillingness.
"Are the five of you edicted?" The two with the highest prestige have been won, and there are a few pure literati left, and Yixin is stable.
As soon as Yi Xin's words fell, Du Han was still thinking about it, and Jing Shou knelt down with a "poof", and the speed of his movements was really rare. With the one who took the lead, Kuang Yuan, Mu Yin, Jiao Youying and others naturally accepted their fate one after another, Du Han thought hard, and no longer struggled, and obediently knelt down to accept his fate. But Du Han was also forced by the situation to have no choice, and when Yi Xin began to read the holy decree in a low voice, every time he read a sentence, Du Han retorted in his heart.
"The cabinet issued an edict that the sea and frontier were not quiet last year, and the martial law in Beijing was always caused by the planning of the king and ministers in charge." As soon as Yixin started, Du Han scolded in his heart. This sentence is to blame the responsibility for the invasion of foreign enemies completely on the "king ministers in affairs" at that time, that is, Zaiyuan, Duanhua, Sushun and others. Damn, the Anglo-French coalition army has been planning to bully the Qing Dynasty for a long time, what is the matter with the Lao Tzu.
"Zaiyuan and the others could not calm down and negotiate peace, and they trapped the British envoys in order to restrain themselves and lose their trust in other countries." Yi Xin's sentence was even more hateful, and he put the responsibility for the Shabali incident on their eight ministers. At that time, those who presided over the peace meeting in Tongzhou were indeed Zaiyuan and Mu Yin. But the responsibility for this matter is not entirely on Zaiyuan and Mu Yin, the unfortunate idea of arresting Xia Bali was thought up by Xianfeng, and there was also a bigwig involved at that time, that is, his father-in-law, Gui Liang, a scholar of Wenhuadian University, who is now standing behind Yi Xin. In fact, it was the monk Grinchen who carried out the task of arresting Pashali. If you really want to judge the crime impartially, you can't just investigate Zaiyuan and Mu Yin, at least Guiliang and Seng Lingqin can't escape the involvement.
"Dianyuan was disturbed, my emperor took the examination to patrol Xingrehe, and the true sacred heart can't be distressed." Yi Xin couldn't hear Du Han's heartfelt words, and read it very hilariously. The so-called "Dian Garden" refers to the Old Summer Palace, because the Old Summer Palace is located in Haidian, Beijing, so it is called "Dian Garden". This is to plant the responsibility for the theft of the Old Summer Palace and the responsibility for Emperor Xianfeng's escape to Chengde on Zaiyuan and others. The first one to persuade Xianfeng to move was Seng Lingqin, and it was Guo Xing'a who stole the Old Summer Palace, why don't you talk to these two army leaders.
"After the Prime Minister, the Minister of National Affairs, the Yamen Wang, etc., will properly manage the matters that should be done by each country, and the capital will be quiet and normal inside and outside." This sentence Du Han didn't scold, Yixin praised himself, and it was also Zhang Ben for the new government layout that he led that was about to begin.
"The imperial examination repeatedly summoned the king's ministers and others to discuss the will of Luan, and Zaiyuan, Duanhua, and Su Shun were treacherous, and they always used foreign situations repeatedly to exclude public opinion. On July 17 of this year, the dragon rode the guest, snatched the heavens with a cry of fire, and remembered the sins of Zaiyuan and other former deceptions, which were hated not only by me, but also by the subjects of the world. Yi Xin was particularly happy when he read this sentence, if Du Han wasn't afraid of death, he would have snatched the edict and tore it up.
counted this paragraph as the most inhuman, and the responsibility for Xianfeng's inability to return to Luan and Xianfeng's death was put on the eight ministers. The biggest person responsible for Xianfeng's inability to return to Luan is Yi Xin, if it weren't for Yi Xin's huge forces in Beijing, Xianfeng would not dare to return to Beijing! Xianfeng's death is even more pitiful, Xianfeng kills himself every day with a drunken and beautiful woman, and he is completely killed by himself, who can stop him. And this charge is too big, although it is the most "unwarranted" charge. But with this article, Zaiyuan, Duanhua, Sushun, etc., are by no means just deposed, even if they indulge in lust and do not die.
"At the beginning of my reign, I wanted to punish his crimes, but Siyi and others were ministers who took care of their lives, so they were temporarily forgiven to see the after-effects." This sentence doesn't need to be slandered by Du Han, Yixin thinks it is a strong word. Because since the beginning of the imperial pole has been discerning the "sin" of the eight ministers, even if it is lenient, it must be "reprimanded" to the eight ministers in the form of an edict, since there is no such measure at all, how can it be said to be "temporary forgiveness to see the after-effects"?
"On August 11, I summoned Zaiyuan and other eight people, because the imperial history Dong Yuanmel respected Chen Guan and saw a fold, and said that the queen mother temporarily had the right to manage the government, and after a few years, I could personally adjudicate the affairs of the government, and then return to the government; He also asked the prince to send one or two people to assist him; I also asked Yu Jian to send one or two people to serve as my master. The above three ends are deeply in line with my intentions. Although I am facing the ceremony of not having the queen mother hanging the curtain, but I am entrusted by the emperor to take the imperial examination, but I think of the national economy and the people's livelihood, how can I stick to the usual practice? Du Han's face turned white, this is really a quibble for the curtain, knowing that this move is unconventional, and the person who issued this edict asked himself, how can he really think of "the national economy and the people's livelihood" when he listens to the government? This so-called noble subordinate to power is nothing but a pale quibble for the curtain.
"The special edict is waiting for the decree to be delivered. When the king's ministers and others played the right game, they argued, and there was no one to courteous them. "Duhan is bitter! Duhan can't tell! In all fairness, the "ministers of the king" and others are nothing more than overdoing it when they are "insisting on the truth." But the one who provoked this incident was not "the king's ministers and others" anyway!
"When the decree is drafted, it is contrary to the yang and the yin, and it is rewritten without authorization as the decree of the decree, what is the sincerity? This sentence Du Han is no longer scolded, this is the time for revenge. The four words "is sincerity and what heart" are exactly the words of the eight ministers who refuted Dong Yuanol's edict at the beginning, which is very excessive, and it happened to be copied here at this time, and it is also the meaning of the Queen Mother and Prince Gong to show the world this time and that time. The four words "retribution is unpleasant" in the world can be seen here.
"It's always because of my Chong years, the queen mother can't know about state affairs, Ren Yi and others can deceive the world?" This hat is not small, and it is also expected to win the sympathy of the subjects of the world. But Du Han especially wanted to ask a rhetorical question, but the attempt of the Queen Mother and King Gong to add crimes in order to achieve the purpose of hanging the curtain can also deceive the world?
"This is all to live up to the emperor's deep grace, if you are tolerated again, why do you look up to the spirit in the sky?" Du Han still wanted to ask a rhetorical question, but he didn't know how to openly ignore the ancestral system and completely overthrow the dying life of the "imperial examination", why did he look up to the spirit in the sky?
"Zaiyuan, Duanhua, and Su Shun will be dismissed! Jing Shou, Mu Yin, Kuang Yuan, Du Han, and Jiao You withdrew from the military aircraft department. Prince Pai Gong and the scholars of the Sixth Division, Jiuqing, Han Zhan Kedao, and others deserve the blame, respectively, according to the law and impartiality. How the queen mother should hang the curtain is played together. Encyclical! "Du Han didn't have anything to say in the end, he was defeated, fortunately, his life was worry-free, but Su Yuting was afraid that he would not be able to protect the leader.
After Yi Xin read out the edict, he sent someone to escort the remaining five people back to their homes, and let them go home in a proper manner and wait for their crimes. In fact, Yi Xin really wanted to do it with Du Han, one is that this guy is actually the think tank of the eight ministers, with limited political energy but a lot of ghost ideas, it is really a scourge to keep him. Second, if it weren't for Du Han's father Du Shoutian, the throne of the Qing Dynasty would have been Yixin's long ago, and he still had to spend this effort today. Yu wanted to be Du Han in public and private, and revenge his personal revenge by the way, but the queen mother of the two palaces also remembered that Xianfeng had received Du Shoutian's favor and saved Du Han alive and dead.
Although the first edict of this coup d'état was only to dismiss the eight ministers, because there was no "legal basis" for listening to the government itself, he had to fabricate a long complaint against the eight ministers to show that "I" really had the bitterness of "not being able to do it". If you don't do this, you can't break free from the shackles of the ancestral system, if you can't break free from the shackles of the ancestral system, you can't get rid of the eight ministers, if you don't dismiss their duties, you can't punish their crimes, and if you can't punish their crimes, you can't talk about hanging the curtain. It is precisely because of various reasons that this oracle has become such a "long edict".
The key step of the coup, that is, the main procedure for overthrowing the Gu Ming system, has actually been completed, and the next step should be another "highlight" - that is, the arrest of the mastermind of Gu Ming's eight ministers, Su Shun, who is escorting Zigong on the way. At this time, Su Shunzheng and Prince Rui Renshou, Wang Yiyun of Alcohol County and others escorted Emperor Xianfeng's Zigong to Miyun County, which is still more than 100 miles away from Beijing. Because Yixin has made a very careful arrangement, and now Su Shun, like Zaiyuan, Duanhua and others before, has become a turtle in the urn, so although the arrest of Su Shun is an important step in the coup, it is no longer a suspense at this time, and there is no need to make a big move. Yi Xinru handed over the decree to the queen mother of the two palaces, and agreed on the regulations to issue an edict to Miyun immediately, and hurriedly came out to issue the decree.
"Monkey Sun's side has been arranged?" However, when Yixin was leaving, she was still a little worried and asked Cixi.
"Sixth master, don't worry! I started it yesterday, and now I think it's done! "Cixi is very confident.
"That monkey is not an ordinary person, and if he is careless, he will not be able to hold him." Yi Xin is still not at ease.
"It doesn't hurt to let him escape, I arranged for Su Shun to handle this matter. If it happens, the disaster will be peaceful, and even if it doesn't work, the monkey knows that Su Shun harmed him, and he will definitely not give up with Su Shun. We did Sushun, but it was too late for him to support him, so he wouldn't come at us! Cixi smiled even more proudly.
"The Queen Mother is clever!" Yi Xin nodded again and again, and finally went with confidence.
