Chapter 376: Taihe Hall (5) Amnesia
Finally, He Shen, who has always been clever, spoke: "The Emperor! This English man has sinister intentions! If you get angry because of this, you will be in the hands of the English! โใ Pen ร fun ร Pavilion www. ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝ ใ ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝ
As soon as he said this, the courtiers who knelt down on the ground immediately persuaded each other with kind words. It's just that everyone avoids the important and ignores the 'Double Dragon Playing Pearl' that is broken into several pieces. Jiang Wulin couldn't be dumb, and then comforted: "The Emperor! The envoy offered this thing not for anything else. Rather, I want to prove that this thing is not a rare thing at all. But the English people refer to the deer as a horse, and prefer to compare it to a priceless treasure to the new emperor.
It's completely provoking the national prestige of the Qing Dynasty! โใ
Although his ostensible intention was to emphasize that the English were problematic. But in the ears of the Emperor Taishang, there are only the words 'priceless treasure' and 'dedication to the new emperor'. In the end, it is the emperor's house, and it attaches great importance to the dignity and inferiority of status. Besides, he is still alive, and the English people will give good things to their sons first. And it's not an ordinary thing, but a 'double dragon playing with pearls' that symbolizes the authority of the Son of Heaven.
The intention of this is worth considering. He squinted his eyes and looked at Emperor Jiaqing, who bowed his head for a long time. Although his eyes are no longer so clear, he still exudes an innate imperial majesty when he is angry.
Feeling the eyes of the thorns in his back, Emperor Jiaqing didn't dare to come out. Just kneeling, slightly curled up. Even if he is still wearing a dragon robe, he can't see the appearance of an emperor at all.
He Shen and a group of courtiers watched nervously. But no one dared to stand up and speak. After all, the emperor is too old, and his temper is very weird. If there is a slight mistake, it will end up being reprimanded and demoted.
And the current imperial court is Heshen and Lord He's one hand covering the sky. So before He Shen stood up to speak, the other courtiers didn't dare to say anything.
After looking at it like this for a while, the Emperor suddenly coughed violently. Just listen: "cough cough cough cough ยทยทยท", in the end you are old! This blushing face and thick neck have been thick for so long, and I can't get my breath out. As a result, I was blocked in one breath, my eyes rolled white, and I coughed for a long time.
The people who were guarding in front of him immediately panicked as if they were something. It's water again, and it's back again. Especially the eunuch, with a sharp voice, exaggerated shouting the emperor. It was as if the sky had fallen.
Jiang Wulin, who was standing below, immediately begged his ears to isolate the eunuch's piercing ear cry. Anyway, if you let this eunuch use this voice, she will shout in your ear every day. It is estimated that longevity will also become short-lived.
Thinking like this, he felt some sympathy for the emperor who was held by everyone.
At this time, He Shen, as a close minister of the Son of Heaven, couldn't care about etiquette. rushed to the throne and personally helped the emperor to smooth his breath.
After tossing like this for a while, the Emperor Taishang finally spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm and took a smooth breath. Emperor Jiaqing, who was nervous, hurriedly knelt down again. shouted the Bodhisattva's blessing and wept with joy. At the same time, his palms touched the ground, and his forehead was close to the ground, which seemed extremely sincere. It's just that whether he really wants the Emperor Taishang to be well, others can't tell.
Jiang Wulin looked at it coldly, but he was amused and laughed by the servants of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces.
When the ministers knelt down again, the Emperor Taishang also drank a few sips of warm water under the service of He Shen. Then he put down the teacup and looked at the courtiers kneeling on the ground in amazement. After glancing at He Shen a few times, he said suspiciously: "It seems that today is a banquet for Qiansuo, right?" Why hasn't the banquet been set up yet? Why can't you get up on your knees? โใ
Speaking of this, he turned his face away, and said to Emperor Jiaqing with some dissatisfaction: "Yan Yan, this Qiansu banquet is handed over to you, right?" Why didn't you prepare anything? โใ
These inexplicable words made the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty unresponsive for a long time. But He Shen was stunned for a few seconds, and then laughed and said, "The Emperor!" Did you forget? The Qiansu banquet was held a few years ago. Today is the Lanfang mission, so the Manchu civil and military are all here. โใ As he spoke, he winked.
There are courtiers who are attached to him, and they immediately use their bodies to block the 'Double Dragon Playing Pearl' that is broken into several pieces. Emperor Jiaqing, who was in a panic, also immediately realized that Emperor Taishang's amnesia had been committed again.
Since his abdication a year ago, the memory of the Emperor Taishang has not been as good as before. Many times, when the words come to my lips, I forget what I want to say. Sometimes, one moment they were talking about major government affairs, and the next moment, they suddenly turned to other things.
Although in front of people, he often showed that he was thirsty for medical treatment for the emperor's amnesia. But in fact, he didn't want to be cured by the emperor at all. After all, the worse the emperor's health, the sooner he retreated to the Wanshou Palace to live idle. And the sooner he can control the military and political power, the new emperor worthy of the name.
Just like now, this amnesia is committed at the right time. Otherwise, the Emperor Taishang has been holding on to the 'Double Dragon Playing Pearl', then it will be difficult for him to get out today.
He first threw a look full of gratitude to He Shen. Then he explained: "Yes! The Emperor. At the Qiansu banquet a year ago, you were still full of poetry and made a lot of brilliant poems! โใ
The courtiers below all said this when they saw the red people in front of the new emperor and the emperor. also immediately turned the topic to the Qiansuo banquet. For the 'Double Dragon Playing Pearl' just now, he didn't say a word.
After saying a few words like this, the Emperor Taishang looked tired. He Shen understood, and immediately asked the eunuch to lead the emperor to rest. And the affairs here are entrusted to him and Emperor Jiaqing. But in fact, because the emperor has the power of the generals and the government, he is in his own hands. So even if Emperor Jiaqing stands here, he can't handle any government affairs.
On the contrary, He Shen, who was under Emperor Jiaqing, became the real principal by taking advantage of the convenience of ghostwriting for Emperor Taishang. Don't talk much nonsense, and the DPRK announced that it would sever contact with England. He also issued a proclamation to rebuke the English people for their deception and recklessness. The Thirteen Lines of Guangzhou are also not allowed to do business with the English.
But it's all about etiquette! More importantly, the Qing Dynasty, which had previously reached cooperation in the military. Now it has been stirred up by the Lanfang Mission, through the matter of tribute, and it is completely yellow.
Of course, it would be too exaggerated to attribute all the credit to the Lanfang Mission. Mainly at the turn of late spring and early summer, the White Lotus Rebellion that suddenly broke out in Sichuan, Shaanxi and Hubei contained the Qing forces.
This matter is naturally indispensable to the idea of Da Ming!
It is also the decision-making level of Daming who has a hunch that the war in Nanyang will make Daming unable to spare his strength. Therefore, let the White Lotus Sect, which was developing silently, raise the banner of rebellion and add some chaos to the Qing Dynasty. Lest you be too idle, staring at Da Ming.
Because the current White Lotus Sect has been transformed by the Intelligence Department for many years. Neither the forces nor the disciples can be compared with the original White Lotus Sect. And it is well-organized and highly integrated. The power is also all over the Qing country.
From the officials and nobles to the small people, there are followers who have secretly developed.
Like those chaotic branches of the White Lotus Sect in the past, they will either be absorbed and assimilated, or they will be swept into the garbage heap of history. Some famous leaders have also become the personal disciples of the Supreme Ancestor.
Now the entire White Lotus Sect respects the Supreme Ancestor and listens to the orders of the Supreme Ancestor.
Therefore, this rebellion reflects a super organizational and embarrassing chain reaction. (To be continued.) )
