Chapter 233: I'll be with you

The clouds and rain live.

……

"These things...... Ci'an's voice was very thin, very low, and the words were also very slow, but still with a little bit of a feeling of breathlessness, "'she'...... You don't know, do you? ”

"The Queen Mother refers to ......"

"Hmm...... The matter of Emperor Daxing, the matter of Rong'an, the matter of removing the curtain, and ...... I'm ...... with you."

Speaking of "my business with you", the voice became lower and lower, almost inaudible.

"Yes...... I don't know. ”

After a pause, Guan Zhuofan continued: "But...... Before giving birth, I could use the excuse that 'I should not be distracted during labor' and not tell her about the affairs in Beijing; she was over 30 years old and pregnant and giving birth, and she was very nervous, and she had neither time nor heart to ask what was going on in Beijing. ”

"Well, I see what you mean, now ...... The child is born, and this is the matter of ...... I can't hide it from her for long. ”

"Yes."

After being silent for a while, Ci'an said softly, "I'...... Accompany you to Tianjin. ”

The six words of weak mosquitoes and flies were heard in his ears, but Guan Zhuofan was slightly shocked.

"The Queen Mother's ......"

"You told her these things alone, I am afraid of her...... Uh, think of something else......"

After a pause, "I'll tell you something...... Well, I mean, you said that, I'll say it again, or, I'll be on the side, playing the side drum for you, maybe, it would be more appropriate......"

Guan Zhuofan was really moved.

The little emperor died, Princess Rong'an succeeded to the throne and heir, and the queen mother of the two palaces withdrew the curtains, everything was turned upside down for Cixi - this "sky". This "earth" is not only the "heaven" and "earth" of the imperial court and the society, but also Cixi's own "heaven" and "earth".

Whether Cixi could accept such a major change or not, no one knows at the moment - in fact. It is unknown whether it can be "accepted" or not, but whether it can be "beared".

Although, Cixi was an extremely strong woman.

Putting aside this layer, with Cixi's shrewdness, these major events, each of them, Guan Zhuofan will not be exempt from major suspicion from her, in fact. Guan Zhuofan himself is not sure that Cixi can believe that he is "innocent".

Although, he is the best at lying and round lies.

However, there is probably no one in the world who can really realize this lie - especially in front of a woman like Cixi.

Guan Zhuofan's instigation. However, "the situation is stronger than the people".

In addition, Tianjin Guangang Palace. It is not only a golden house for hiding Jiaojiao, but also a cage for grounding, in a sense, Cixi has fallen into the tiger's mouth and fallen into his control.

People under the low eaves can't help but bow their heads.

But. Hard-to-come -- no matter which way it is, it's always the next step.

Let's not talk about how many hidden dangers will be left in doing this, our Prince Xuan, although "From now on." I'm not me", but after all, I still have a conscience, and I also think that some things, although they have to be done for the sake of the country and the nation, but the harm to "their own women" is still as small as possible.

At least, in the long years to come, my conscience will be less tormented.

If the trip to Tianjin is accompanied by Ci'an, Guan Zhuofan's situation in front of Cixi will be relatively much easier.

The little emperor died, Princess Rong'an succeeded to the throne and inherited the heir, and the queen mother of the two palaces withdrew the curtain, every thing, Ci'an is not only a "witness", but also a "party", and a "stakeholder".

Especially in the matter of "removing the curtain", if only Cixi removed the curtain alone, then, if you talk about going to heaven, Cixi will think that all this is a conspiracy against her, and it is a conspiracy between Ci'an and Guan Zhuofan to hook up to deal with her.

Even if the two palaces "remove the curtain" together, if only Zhuofan speaks, then Cixi will suspect that the "curtain removal" is a conspiracy by Guan Zhuofan against the queen mother of the two palaces.

However, what if Ci'an said to Cixi in person, "I will 'remove the curtain' with you"?

This is logical.

Ci'an was introverted, clumsy in words, and never really went out of Beijing - "Feng'an" and "knocking on the tomb" for Wenzong did not count. In the face of Cixi, who lost her son and was about to lose her position, even Guan Zhuofan felt that it was a major and even palpitating challenge, and Ci'an, who had always been introverted and wooden, offered to work with him to deal with this challenge together, and he could not help but be moved.

Women, under certain circumstances, can really change wonderfully.

But "my business with you" - to say to her? What does this mean? Uh, well, this matter, to say it or not, let it go, let's not talk about it for now.

"Empress Dowager Xie! Minister...... I don't know what to say. ”

Ci'an smiled softly: "Thank you for what?" The two of us, the two of us ......"

"Well, the two of us - the queen mother is the king of the minister, and she is also the woman of the minister......"

"Hmmm......"

In the "Sanxi Hall", the sound of zero clouds and rain sounded again.

……

Dressed neatly, back to the "diligent government and pro-sage", Guan Zhuofan was about to kneel down and resign, Ci'an remembered something and asked: "That Wu Keyu, is his temperament ...... Stubborn? ”

Guan Zhuofan was slightly stunned and said, "Yes, but, uh......"

is groaning, do you want to "May I ask the Queen Mother, Wu is stubborn, where did the Queen Mother learn about this?" Ci'an himself added: "This is what Qifujin said to me yesterday when he entered the palace to ask for peace. ”

Guan Zhuofan smiled secretly: Wu Ke's excerpt was just handed over on the front foot, and Wang Fujin followed up with the palace to scare the queen mother, saying that Wu was "stubborn", which ...... Isn't it too much of a trace?

He understood very well the intention of King Alcohol's move, in addition to shaking Ci'an's determination to establish Rong'an as the new emperor, it was also to "build momentum" for his own side - to say that Wu Ke's "wind bones" were harder. Wu Ke read the weight of the excerpt, the heavier it is, the heavier the weight in his hand.

"Council of Ministers," Ci'an hesitated a little, "ask this Wu Ke to read it." Uh, will it ......?"

Ci'an was really a little "shaken". However, it was not that "the determination to establish Rong'an as the new emperor" was shaken, but that Wu Keyu was afraid that Wu Keyu would make some trouble at the "Wang's Council of Ministers" and have an adverse impact on the process and results of the meeting.

However, if the "above" really broke his promise and fattened Wu Ke was not allowed to read the meeting, then. It can also be regarded as the heart of the alcohol king. Because, this just shows the weakness of the heart of the "superiors" in the matter of establishing the empress, otherwise, why "since the Baoting was sent to attend the meeting, then, if there is a proposal against him, he should also choose one or two to attend the meeting, like this." Is it the court's impartial intention to "say that the words are still in the ear, and the previous discussion must be changed?"

Why is the heart weak? Self-inflicted!

And so it goes. As for the alcohol king, you can make a big fuss about it.

"Please rest assured," Guan Zhuofan said, "Wu Ke reads this person, although he is stubborn, he can probably be called 'honest'." However, his brain is not rigid, and Li Lu is also very clear that this kind of person can reason with him. When the truth is explained, it will naturally be 'good'. ”

"Oh?"

"For example," Guan Zhuofan said, "when the envoys of Britain, France, Russia, and the Netherlands came to meet them, there were quite a few people on the road who thought, 'Your Majesty, there are all ministers who have not knelt since ancient times', and if the ministers of the four countries refused to kneel and bow, the emperor and the queen mother of the two palaces could not receive the ministers of the four countries." Wu Ke read, however, believes that it is not necessary for the envoys of various countries to be forced to bow down when they come to the audience, and that 'it is advisable to show leniency according to the customs of various countries', and it is very unwise to argue about some trivial matters, which will in vain damage the great plan of the country's friendship. ”

Ci'an again: "Oh? sighed, revealing an unexpected expression: "So, this Wu Ke is really a clear-minded person!" - But I don't remember much of the fold he made. ”

"Back to the Queen Mother," Guan Zhuofan said, "Wu Keyu did not fold on this matter, at that time, he was only a Langzhong in the Ministry of Officials, and he did not have the right to make suggestions. ”

Wu Keyu has folded on this matter, but it is in the original time and space, not in this time and space. This "original time and space" and "this time and space" are gods, and there is no way to explain it clearly to your sister.

In the original time and space, Wu Keyu did something that "caused some waves", not only folded up to approve that Taixi's envoys should not kneel and bow when they saw him, but also did a real thing that "caused some waves", if Ci'an knew, he would definitely be frightened, and even, it might really shake Princess Lirong'an's determination to be the new emperor.

In fact, when Wu Keyu's name appeared on the list of opponents, Guan Zhuofan was highly nervous, but he could only say that he "attached great importance" to King Alcohol himself - although he attached importance to it, he was calm and unhurried, and he could not talk about "nervousness", let alone "high tension".

So, in the original time and space, what did Wu Keyu do that would really scare the Queen Mother? Why is it that a scholar, with a clean breeze on his sleeves, will call Prince Xuan, who holds heavy troops and leans towards the government and the opposition, as if he is facing a great enemy?

Wu Keyu did such a thing: corpse admonition.

Write "sparse" first, and then hang yourself.

It's not a joke. Wu Keyu found a dilapidated temple with no one to do this. The beams of the ruined temple were too rotten to support his thin body, and he didn't die; So he took poison again, and this time, he finally begged for mercy.

The government and the opposition shook.

That was the fifth year of Guangxu.

If Wu Ke's temperament is really better than the "Empress", eleven years in advance, the major event of "Empress", even if it succeeds in the end, will leave a very ugly stain in history.

This is absolutely not a no-no.

Therefore, it is necessary to level Wu Ke read.

This "leveling" cannot follow the path of treating Sun Dongmou when he gave "foreign affairs" and "military affairs" to the little emperor, and treating Xu Yingxiang during the railway debate, that is, it cannot rely on suppression and intimidation alone. Wu Ke reads this person, since he can spare his life, naturally it is not that you can be frightened by condescending and shouting a few words loudly, if you don't get it, the heavier you suppress, the more he rebounds, and really give you a "corpse admonition".

Prescribe the right medicine, see the move, first of all, you have to figure out, what is Wu Ke's reading of the corpse? Why did they choose such a decisive path?

In the original time and space, Guan Zhuofan had looked for Wu Ke's "Neglect", but after taking a closer look, he couldn't help but be stunned.

At that time, he came up with such an idea: death is heavier than Mount Tai, and some is lighter than Hongmao, Wu Keyu's death, uh, I don't know what weight it should be?

The sparseness is long, but the most important is only two sentences.

One sentence is, "Qin Feng the Empress Dowager of the Two Palaces, with the son of Prince Alcohol succeeding Emperor Wen Zongxian as his son, and entering the Great Unification as the heir emperor, and the heir of the emperor has a son, that is, inheriting the Daxing Emperor as the heir." ”

This sentence is to state the facts when Dezong succeeded to the throne five years ago, that is, Dezong is both the successor and the heir - Dezong himself, the heir of Chengwenzong; Dezong's son is the heir of Mu Zong, and at the same time, he is also the biological father of Dezong.

This is a very good arrangement, taking into account the patriarchal law and human feelings, take Wu Ke's words in the "Neglect", that is, "I have no son but a son for the emperor of Daxing", "I have no grandson but a grandson for the queen mother of the two palaces", at the same time, Dezong's own son is still his own son, so that he will not be like himself, he can't recognize the "biological father" of King Alcohol as a father.

The other sentence is the core of the whole article, that is, Wu Ke's "exhortation" -- "I beg the empress dowager of the two palaces to issue another decree, and in the future, the great unification will still belong to the heirs of the Daxing Emperor. ”

That is to say, after Dezong's death, the throne will be passed to the son who succeeded Mu Zong.

When he saw this, Guan Zhuofan was stunned: This is not ...... Nonsense?

Of course, it can't be 100% nonsense, when Dezong succeeded to the throne, this was not clearly pointed out in the edict, but this is self-evident!

This is at most a small loophole, it is very simple to fill it, Wu Keyu only needs to make an excerpt and ask the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces to issue another decree and make a "supplementary explanation", and the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces will definitely play. Because, this is in line with the "original legislative intent" and also in the interests of the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces. The Empress Dowager of the Two Palaces is the mother of Mu Zong, the son of Mu Zong, who succeeded Dezong, of course they are happy - otherwise they are not happy.

In addition, doing so will not harm Dezong's interests, because this son, because of the relationship between the two people, is also his own son.

How did everyone get a "corpse admonishment" and lose their lives in vain?

It's not, sort of...... Inexplicable?

As for some people saying that Wu Ke reads the "corpse admonition" and wants to "admonish" Cixi to "remove the curtain", that is simply nonsense, and there is not the slightest hint of this meaning in Wu Ke's testament.

Discussing Wu Ke's life in detail, Guan Zhuofan found that Wu Ke read "corpse advice", in fact, there is another reason, and this reason has almost nothing to do with the word "advice".
