The first moon is about to rise, and even though the snow and ice still cover the northern land, people can still feel the arrival of spring - the frozen road surface in the early morning begins to slowly melt at noon, and the snow on the roof of the house also melts and drip down the corrugated water, making a crisp ticking sound. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

When the warmth of early spring was ushered in in the warm sun in these four or nine cities, the eunuchs who were extremely comfortable in the warm sun no longer had to say anything like "frozen to death", but despite this, no one dared to speak loudly, after all, everyone knew that the emperor was in a very bad mood now, and this time, several eunuchs who did not open their eyes were killed by the cane.

For the Huang family, eunuchs are just pigs and dogs who are not even as good as slaves, and if they die, they will die.

Outside the door of the East Warm Pavilion, several eunuchs stood there cautiously, looking more cautious than before. for fear that the emperor would look at him unpleasantly, and then he was directly dragged out and killed.

One of the eunuchs hung his head, seemingly cautious, as if he was listening to something. But just looking at his respectful appearance, no one would think it was a big deal. Outside the East Warm Pavilion, the sound of dripping water rattled, and the sound in the Warm Pavilion always floated inadvertently......

The sound of dripping water came from outside the door into the pavilion, and although the sound of the dripping water came to his ears from time to time, Yixun still sat quietly on the kang and watched the Hadith. According to the ancestral system of the Qing Palace, no matter how busy the emperor was every day, he had to read a page of "Hadith", which was placed in the emperor's bedroom all year round, and at this time, Yixun was particularly impressed by Emperor Xian (Yongzheng)'s "Criticism". He even looked at the sentence repeatedly, "Those who are credible are people, and those who are not trustworthy are also people, and those who cannot be trusted must live up to themselves." If not, you can't use people's abilities. ”

After reading this sentence, Yixun thought of the sentence that Emperor Xian had criticized on the recital of his trusted minister Ortai.

He doesn't dare to believe in people's words, but the first trick is to use people. I have never known anyone who doubts, nor have I known anyone who believes. And Yixun also remembered Kangxi's words.

"Those who are superior to others, although they should be trustworthy, they should not be trusted."

"Your Majesty,"

Wen Xiang was silent when he saw the emperor, and couldn't help asking:

"I don't know what the emperor is worried about?"

Yi Xun glanced at him thoughtfully, smiled slightly, and said:

"It's really worrying about things."

Then Yixun paused again before saying:

"Wen Xiang, you are the leader of my banner people, let me ask you, why do I have three ancestral emperors in my dynasty?"

Wen Xiang was a very cautious person, and when he listened to the emperor's question, he didn't immediately reply, and after thinking for a while, he replied:

"Taizu is the ancestor of creation, Shizu is the ancestor of the founding of the country, and the Holy Ancestor is the master of the opening."

"Well said."

Yixun nodded.

"Actually, the one I am most satisfied with is the Holy Ancestor. I've said this more than once. It is not easy to create a country and fight to kill, but if an emperor can live in the creation of the establishment and get rid of the nest of enjoying the legacy of his ancestors, it is actually even more difficult! I only want to be a sect of keep, but even so, I'm afraid I don't have a chance. ”

Wen Xiang listened to this heartfelt words, his heart was nervous, and he hurriedly said:

"The emperor's benevolent words must be heard by heaven. When Wu Sangui rebelled, the situation of the Holy Ancestor Emperor was also very vicious compared to today, so that the Holy Ancestor could also turn the crisis into safety, and today's emperor worked hard to govern the country, and my Qing Dynasty will be able to resettle the country! ”

Stunned for a moment, Yixun nodded and said:

"If that's the case, then it's really the blessing of the ancestors!"

Now in addition to the blessing of his ancestors, Yixun really doesn't know how to keep the country of the Great Qing Kingdom. After thinking for a moment, he thought of what he had told Wen Xiang to do.

"Wen Xiang, how did that matter go? What do those foreigners say? ”

Hearing the emperor's question, Wen Xiang hurriedly replied:

"The emperor is like a god, so the Americans have no intention of sending troops to help me, but the Russian minister said that if the emperor has an order, Russia will send troops to help......"

The words of the Russian minister, when they came to Wen Xiang's mouth, naturally had to change their taste, what emperor had a life, but it was just his own "modification".

"Send troops to help ......"

With a deep groan, Yixun looked at Wen Xiang and asked.

"Those foreigners have always been profit-oriented, and so is Russia, if it is not bad as expected, it must have a plan!"

In the past few years, Yi Xun also knows a lot about foreigners, knowing that those Westerners will not listen to the "will of the emperor", and even knowing that the so-called emperor is just the self-deception of the servants and courtiers.

"Your Majesty, Nabalu Czech said that if China needs everything, Russia is willing to send 200,000 troops to help suppress it,"

Faced with the emperor's question, Wen Xiang did not answer directly, but said the number of troops that Ross was willing to borrow.

"Two hundred thousand! Seriously! ”

Not to mention Wen Xiang, even Yixun was startled when he heard the number of troops sent by Russia, and almost stood up in excitement.

"That's right, it's 200,000, Your Majesty! The minister of Nabalyuczstan said that if the emperor had a will, let alone 200,000 or 400,000, Russia could send it......"

For the promise of the Czech Republic, although I don't know if there is any water, but Wen Xiang was also excited because of his words and did not sleep all night, in his opinion, with these 200,000 Russian reinforcements, the country of the Great Qing Kingdom can naturally be saved. This difficulty in front of us can naturally be overcome. This "borrowing teachers to help suppress" is no longer an empty word.

"200,000, 200,000!"

Did Yixun say that "400,000", in his opinion, as long as there are 200,000 Russian foreign divisions, the rebellion in the south can be calmed down, and at that time, the country of the Aixin Jueluo family will be saved.

But what is the price to pay for wanting the Russians to send troops?

"Wen Xiang, what are the conditions for that Baliuczekistan to drive?"

This is the most important thing, the Russians will not send troops for nothing!

"Return, go back to the emperor, Nabalu Czech said that after we quell the rebellion in the south, all the overseas land obtained by the southern rebels should be returned to Russia......"

The overseas territories that Palyuczechi refers to are not only the land that has been "robbed", but also the overseas territories such as Ezo, Southeast Asia, and Africa.

"Give them the land that turns into the outside, what is the use of it, that is, the thief, use some desolation to turn the land into the outside, to show what martial arts! Agree to this condition, what else do they want? ”

Knowing that this was just the beginning, Yi Xun looked at Wen Xiang and continued to ask.

"Your Majesty, in addition to this, there are additional conditions!"

Wen Xiang looked at the emperor as he spoke, and his tone seemed a little nervous. Compared to those conditions, the real conditions are probably not so simple.

"Mukden ......"

After saying these two words, Wen Xiang's whole person looked a little nervous, and he looked at the emperor and said nervously.

"Paluzecho said that Russia sent hundreds of thousands of troops to help the emperor eliminate bandits, which can be described as a high achievement, so he hoped that the emperor would cede the land north of Mukden to Russia as a reward for his troops......

The land north of Mukden!

That's the land of Longxing in the Great Qing Kingdom!

If it were to hear this condition as usual, Yi Xun would probably immediately reprimand Wen Xiang and reprimand him for forgetting his ancestors. But now, after hearing this condition of the Russians, he fell into silence, and he sat there, as if thinking about something.

Seeing the emperor sitting there without saying a word, although the earth dragon in the East Warm Pavilion made the heating in the house compelling, Wen Xiang still only felt a chill in his back, and he was afraid that the emperor would blame him, so he quickly knelt down and kowtowed.

"Your Majesty, the Baliu Czech Republic is really the heart of a wolf, he doesn't know that it is the land of my Great Qing Dynasty, and he actually opened this condition, if it is extremely hateful......"

These words were just to keep the emperor from venting his anger on himself, but Wen Xiang obviously guessed the wrong thoughts.

For Yixun, there is only one problem he is thinking about now, that is, to keep the country of the Great Qing Dynasty, and other issues are secondary. Although every banner citizen knows the land of their dragon in Manchuria, for them, the so-called hometown of Manchuria only exists in the mouth of the old back, and no one remembers this so-called hometown, for them, maybe the current capital is their hometown.

Otherwise, compared with the ordinary Yixun who is named as the emperor, it is natural to consider more problems, such as how to persuade the servile courtiers in the court to agree to cede Manchuria to the Russians in exchange for sending troops to help suppress them.

Seeing that the emperor was still silent, Wen Xiang immediately realized that he had misfigured out the wrong intention, so he kowtowed again and said.

"Your Majesty, in the eyes of the minions, this land is not unbreakable, after all, although the land of Manchuria is the land of Longxing of our Great Qing Kingdom, the roots of the Great Qing Kingdom are in Fengtian, and the spiritual sleep of the ancestors is also in Fengtian, as for Jilin and Heilongjiang, they are all barren lands, and as for the land of Jiangbei, it is even more desolate.

When Wen Xiang said this, Yi Xun just nodded slightly, but his head made Wen Xiang breathe a sigh of relief, and his heart said that the emperor was moved, so he continued.

"Your Majesty, now preserving the Great Qing Dynasty is the foundation of our Great Qing Dynasty."

The meaning of his words is clear everywhere, but compared to the rivers and mountains of the Great Qing Dynasty, Manchuria is not a big deal, as for the so-called land of Longxing and the land of ancestors, but that is to say.

"If you can't even protect the rivers and mountains of the Great Qing Kingdom, I'm afraid that the land of Longxing in Manchuria will not be able to protect it......"

Wen Xiang's words made Yi Xun put aside his relationship with this for a while, and also found an excuse for him.

"Alas!"

After a long sigh, Yi Xun looked into the distance and said slowly.

"But no, that's the case, if the Qing Kingdom loses the country in this pass, even if we go outside the pass, even if we go to Manchuria, what can we do, those Han people, how can we live in Manchuria so well? In the end, it's not like we're going to be wiped out! ”

Then Yixun continued.

"As long as we keep the country of our Great Qing Kingdom, even if we give up the land of Manchuria to Russia now, wait until the future, and ...... in the future."

When the words came to his lips, Yi Xun thought for a moment and then changed the conversation.

"In the future, when we free our hands, we will naturally be able to take back those places, and at that time, even if Russia does not want to, what can it do?"

"The emperor really makes the slave deserve to die......

There are some things that the slave has to say after all, just like now, after the emperor shows his mentality, the rest is what Wenxiang needs to do.

"Wen Xiang, it's not you who deserve death."

Shaking his head, Yixun's tone was full of sadness.

"The situation in the world is like this, it's all my fault! I only hope that this can protect the country of the Great Qing Dynasty. ”

When Yi Xun said this, there was only one voice echoing in his heart, no matter how much land he wanted to cut, as long as he could keep the country of the Great Qing Dynasty, he would not hesitate!

Of course, he will not say this sentence. But he didn't mind doing it if it was necessary, even if it was to cede the whole of Jiangnan to the British and the French, as long as they were willing to help him.

After Wen Xiang left the Dongnuan Pavilion, Yi Xun still continued to review the folds. And the Tailin outside the door quickly changed, these eunuchs work every hour, not because of the royal benevolence, but because they are worried that they have been standing for a long time and have not heard the orders in the cabinet.

After the shift change, one of the eunuchs left the Forbidden City directly with the waist card, if it was according to the rules of the palace, he naturally could not leave the palace at will, but in this Forbidden City, everything is valuable, and the waist card out of the palace can also be bought with money, but it is only two dollars of silver.

The eunuchs who leave the palace look no different from ordinary people, and they are also lively and bustling, such as the opera garden, the teahouse, and so on, for these eunuchs, that is, outside, they will feel a little comfortable. You don't have to be as cautious as you are in the palace.

Like most eunuchs, this eunuch who went out of the palace came directly to a drama garden, when he entered the theater building, the building was singing, he didn't pick it, he directly found a place to do it, and then asked for a pot of tea and a plate of melon seeds, it sounded like a play, and when the play was sung to the wonderful, he followed the others to shout hello, beating the beat, and he was a fan of the play at first glance.

It was getting dark, and after the eunuch left, the shopkeeper who had been waiting nearby immediately walked over and cleaned up the table quickly, no one noticed that when he was cleaning up the table, when he poured the half dish of melon seeds into the bag containing the peel, one of the pieces of paper also fell into the bag.

"Shopkeeper, this is the news that just came out from inside!"

In the courtyard behind the theater building, the middle-aged man sitting on the kang took the piece of paper, he briefly looked at the contents, his brows suddenly furrowed, and a burst of anger welled up on his face.

"Damn it!"

Hateful scolding, the middle-aged man looked at the person in front of him and asked.

"You saw it!"

Standing in front of the stationmaster, he nodded.

"What do you think?"

"Stationmaster, it doesn't matter what I think, what matters is how to deal with this matter at home......"
