"You're not dead! You're not dead! Yoko Shimazu looked at the steam warships gathered on the surface of the sea, and opened her arms, "If you die, they won't come!" ”

She could always judge at once the crux of the development of the matter -- it was not for nothing that the fleets of Britain, France, and Qianzhou had assembled in the waters of Fuzhou on such a large scale for the first time!

Yoko Shimazu rejoiced at her discovery, and her thoughts instantly became extremely clear and clear, and the picture of the future situation had already appeared in her mind.

She already understands that everything is developing in the direction set by Lin Yiqing, there may be episodes, but it will not affect its direction, what she has to do now is to wait for Lin Yiqing's return to Qianguo.

Qianguo, Beijing, Prince Jing's Mansion.

Prince Jing, who was deep in thought, unconsciously clenched his fists, and he suddenly found that the letter in his hand had been crumpled.

Prince Jing realized his gaffe, and he hurriedly let go of his hand and smoothed the letter again.

This letter was written by Li Shaoquan back then.

“…… According to Lin Shu, overseas Chinese Yin businessmen Chen and Pan are willing to contribute 1 million taels of silver, and first repair the two places of 'Heaven and Earth One Spring' and 'Haiyan Hall', without spending a penny of national funds. Plagiarism is a great opportunity and must not be missed. …… With the public punishing the sea supervisor, Xigong is suspicious and jealous, and the public can not be at ease, and he thinks that this is a good opportunity to be repaired...... The West Palace is in the garden, and since then it has not been degraded, and the public has to be ambitious......"

Prince Jing stood up and stood in the courtyard, looked up at the blue sky, and let out a deep sigh.

Himself after being degraded. I can still sit here today. This letter and the people behind it. It can be said that the credit is indispensable.

Scenes of the past resurfaced in front of his eyes.

He seemed to have returned to the Forbidden City Changchun Palace, facing her who had been his ally in the Deep Palace......

"Yo, why does the sixth master have the time to come to see me today?"

"I heard that the Queen Mother was overwhelmed by the heat, and I was terrified, so I came to visit. And offer a porcelain pillow, respectfully ask the Queen Mother to smile. ”

"Yo, the sixth master really has a heart. …… Ho. This is the Yue kiln celadon of the Song Dynasty, right? Where did the Sixth Master get it? I think it cost the sixth master a lot of silver, right? ”

What the Queen Mother said is that this pillow is indeed a porcelain pillow in the Song Dynasty, that is, the secret color porcelain rumored in the market, which is extremely rare. The ministers got it in the market, and they didn't dare to cherish themselves, so they dedicated it to the queen mother. This pillow is used in summer, which is extremely comfortable, and the Queen Mother is just available at this time. ”

"'The nine autumn wind and dew open the kiln and win the green color of the thousand peaks', as expected. That's a good thing. If the sixth master is out of the bank, then I will take it. Come on. Liu Shengyin, hurry up and give the sixth master a cold bowl. It's hot in this palace, but it's not as good as the sixth master's house. ”

"Huh-"

"Empress Dowager Xie."

"The minister came this time to tell the queen mother that the money for repairing the garden has been settled."

"Ouch, Sixth Master isn't joking with me, right? Isn't there no money in this treasury? Where did you get the money to repair the garden? ”

"The treasury is empty, and there is not even any silver for the queen mother to build one or two resting places, which is the fault of the ministers. It is because the ministers are uneasy and have been thinking about it, which can not only not misuse the country, but also give the queen mother a place to rest. Now that there is a plan for both, I have come to report to the Queen Mother. ”

"Then the sixth master is talking about it, what is the method?"

"Since the queen mother has listened to the government, the eight directions have been peaceful, the country and the people are safe, and all the people from all over the world have attached themselves to ......"

"This is not the court, the words of the sixth master are still provincial! Seriously. ”

"Overseas Chinese businessmen Chen and Pan, grateful for the hard work of the Queen Mother, are willing to donate 1 million taels of silver to rebuild the two places of 'Yongqing Changchun' and 'Haiyan Hall', which are the places for the Queen Mother to rest and recuperate."

"Yo, I can't imagine that this overseas Chinese businessman still has such a piece of filial piety, which is really touchable. The origin of the Chen family and the Pan family, does the sixth master know it? ”

"The minister has specially checked that this Chen family operates dock freight in England, is the leader of the British Chinese Chamber of Commerce, and is in-law with the Rothschild clan, a big family of Taixi money merchants; The Pan family was originally the head of the thirteen merchants in Guangzhou in the past, and now they are also doing business in England, and they are also in-laws with the Chen family, and their business is still distributed in Guangdong Province. Both families are businessmen and have a wide range of wealth. ”

"The sixth master bothered, in order to repair the garden for me, he was able to get involved with overseas businessmen who were so far away. How did the sixth master find these two Chinese businessmen? Or did they find the sixth master's door on their own? How did they know I was going to repair the garden? …… Liu Shengyin, how did you do this errand? Look at the sixth master's heat, why don't you hurry up and change the cool pad for the sixth master? ”

"Damn it! Minions, let's do it! ”

"The queen mother worked so hard, and the courtiers were uneasy, so they naturally wanted to share their worries for the queen mother, but the foreign ministers also moved their minds. This matter is the line drawn by the foreign ministers of Shanghai and Fujian. ”

"This matter is done well, the relevant ministers, no matter how high or low the rank, the sixth master will also report it, and he has to give some rewards anyway."

"Commandment."

"There are also the Chen family and the Pan family, they gave us such a large sum of silver for nothing, we have to show something."

"But there is one thing, the Pan family said that their relatives in Guangzhou were falsely accused of smuggling opium and imprisoned, and they wanted to ask the court to call the shots. The minister has asked the criminal department, but has not yet received a document. ”

"Then the sixth master will let the criminal department investigate, if there is really a matter of smuggling opium, it must not be tolerated and connived, if there is no such thing, it is indeed a false accusation, Jia En will be released immediately, and the person who made the false accusation will be severely investigated."

"Commandment."

"I have a lot of things, sometimes I can't be separated, this garden work, the sixth master will help me keep an eye on it more. The garden was repaired earlier, so why don't the sixth master often come to sit and chatter about some common words? ”

"The sixth master has to do foreign affairs, and he has to be responsible for the garden work, and the work is huge. The minister of the king also asked the sixth master to continue to be in charge. ”

"Minister...... Thank you for the grace of the Queen Mother! ”

……

It was Lin Yizhe's secret efforts that greatly eased the relationship between himself and the Empress Dowager Renxi that was close to breaking down due to the killing of the sea supervisor.

Promote shipping with garden workers. into foreign affairs. It's Lin Yizhe's big handiwork!

And the great cause of foreign affairs. It was also since then, with Renxi's full support, that he was able to regain his strength.

But just when everything was on track, another catastrophe happened that everyone didn't expect!

This time, it was in the "Wenfangzhai" of the Qingqi Garden "Yongqing Changchun", which had already been repaired......

"The kingdom cannot be without a king for a day, and although the queen is pregnant now, it will take several months before she gives birth, and it is not known whether she is a man or a woman. The throne has been hanging for a long time, and it is not a long-term plan for the state. The ranks are all the humerus shares of the imperial court, if you have any suggestions, you might as well say it bluntly. ”

"Wenxiang, you can talk about it."

"Back to the Empress Dowager's words, the emperor dragon and the guest, the world can not be without a master for a day, now the south has just been pacified, the Japanese have retreated, and the new peace treaty with Japan has not been long in coming. The treaty has not yet been renewed, and Japan knows that the imperial court has no owner. The matter is extremely dangerous, and it may shake the country's foundation. When the new king is appointed as the king. ”

"Although the queen is happy, it will take several months to give birth, and the men and women are unknown. The throne must not be suspended for a long time, and a new monarch must be appointed in the clan. ”

"The Empress Dowager Shengming."

"Seventh Master, do you think that in this clan, who is more suitable to inherit the throne?"

"This ...... Back to the words of the Queen Mother, the ministers ...... The minister never thought about it......"

"Then the Seventh Master should think about it. Wen Xiang thinks that who in the clan can ascend the throne? ”

"Back to the queen mother's words, the minister thought that among the clan, it was more appropriate to take Chengtian, the son of King Chun. In addition, Chenglian, the son of King Cheng, Chengyi, and Pu Lun, the son of King Dora, can also be selected. ”

"The few things that Wen Zhongtang said are all good. However, King Cheng has already passed out, Pu Lun was born last year, less than a year old, and he is a side branch, which is not as suitable as Chengtian. In my opinion, it is better to establish Chengtian. ”

"This ...... Tian Er...... I'm only four years old......"

"What about Shen Xiangjue?"

"The Empress Dowager Shengming, Chengtian is really worthy of being the emperor's heir, and the ministers ask Chengtian to be the emperor."

"What does the treasure mean?"

"Back to the Empress Dowager's words, Wen Zhongtang and Shen Zhongtang discussed it very much, and the ministers seconded it."

"Sixth Master, what do you see?"

"Back to the Queen Mother's words, the minister thinks that among the clans, only Chengtian is the most suitable successor."

"Rise up, everyone. It's cold, don't kneel. ”

"Yo, why do you still let the sixth master stand? Liu Shengyin, hurry up, show the sixth master a seat. ”

"Do you know why the emperor rode the dragon to the guests?"

"Liu Shengyin, take those things and let everyone take a look! Let everyone take a closer look! ”

"Yes!"

"'Minister Wang Qingqi Respectfully Presents the Imperial Tour'......"

"Wang Qingqi, this dog thief! I'm going to tear him to pieces!" ”

"I not only want to break his Wang Qingqi into pieces, but also behead him all over the house! Annihilate the three tribes! ”

"How can their royal family teach such a son! What is the use of such parents in this world? Die clean before it's too late! Something that is not as good as a dog! ”

"Sister! ……”

"The Queen Mother is angry! The Queen Mother is angry! ”

"Tell me a few of you! How should a treacherous villain like Wang Qingqi be punished?! ”

"Back to the words of the Queen Mother! This Wang Qingqi actually used obscene things to defile the court, bewitch Shengcong, and make the emperor sick, which can be described as a great crime! Please put Wang Qingqi to death! Raze the three tribes! ”

"Good! That's it! Literature! You're here to draw up the purpose! ”

"This must not be done! Please think twice! ”

"Oh? Why not? Could it be that Wen Xiang thinks that Wang Qingqi is not enough to Ling Chi? ”

"Back to the Queen Mother! Wang Qingqi Ling Chi is also difficult to atone for his sins! However, if Wang Qingqi is publicly sentenced, the matter will be spread out, where is the royal dignity? Please also think twice about the Queen Mother! ”

"The Queen Mother! What the article said is very true, please think twice about the Queen Mother! If Wang Qingqi's crime is punished in this way, it will not look good on the royal face, not only will he be laughed at by the nations, but the ignorant people will also despise the court from then on. It's better to keep this matter a secret, and Wang Qingqi can't find a way to punish him. ”

"Sister, what Wen Xiang and Shen Xiang said makes sense, things have to be prioritized, and my sister doesn't need to rush at this time if she wants to cure Wang Qingqi's crimes. It is a matter of royal decency, and this matter must not be known to the outside world. ”

"What my sister said is, just follow my sister."

"Seventh Master, Wenxiang, Shen Xiang, Baoxiang, please hurry up."

Prince Jing couldn't remember how he left Qingqi Garden, and at that time, his eyes were full of the words "Slave Chengming Gong Cheng Yu Lan" on those medicine boxes that no one mentioned......

Chengming. This rebel ......

That day. After returning to Fuchu by himself. So I did one thing......

"Dog minion! Let me go! ”

"Dog minion! Who's up to you! Dare to tie you up Lord Belle! ”

"Dog minion! Let me go! I want to see the Jade Immortal! See the Jade Immortals! ”

"Lord Wang, Mingbeile is ......"

"You dog minions! Who's up to you! Come on...... Abba! ……”

"Fetch my whip."

"Lord, you ......"

"Go!"

"Abba! Abba! Spare me! I won't dare next time, Abba! Spare me—Abba! ”

"Lord Wang, what are you going to do!" The frightened Wen Bochuan stepped forward and grabbed his arm.

"Bochuan! You don't care! He pushed Wen Bochuan away with one arm, and with the other arm, he picked up the horsewhip and slammed it towards the son who had caused a monstrous disaster.

With a piercing whistling sound, the long whip slammed into his body with a terrible crunch.

It's winter. Although the son was wearing a winter coat, under his whip, the clothes on his son's body were torn in an instant, and a long blood mark appeared on the white and tender flesh underneath.

The son let out a heart-rending howl, and his body struggled for his life, but his second whip was immediately swung out and slammed into his body again.

"Abba! Spare your life! The son howled hoarsely. For the sake of the mother who went, you can spare me this time, Abba-"

Hearing his son carry out his deceased wife, he added fuel to the fire and ignored his son's screams. Continue whipping and whipping, very quickly. The son's clothes were in tatters, and pieces of rags and cotton flew like snowflakes.

He swung his whip several times, and his son was stripped of all his clothes. The next few lashes of his own were all firmly hit on his son's body. With fine skin and tender flesh, where could he stand such a whipping, and after a while, his skin and flesh were rolled up, and blood was dripping.

At first, the son howled and begged for mercy, but after a while only a terrible scream remained, and he struggled to dodge, but it was of no avail, and in a short time he lost the strength to struggle, and his head hung down, as if he was about to faint.

Although his son was already bruised and bleeding profusely at this time, he still had no intention of stopping, and was still whipping one whip after another.

Wen Bochuan stepped forward and grabbed his arm.

"Lord Wang! That's enough! Stop! ”

He didn't speak, but forcefully broke away from Wen Bochuan's hand, and whipped out again according to his son.

"Smack!" With a crisp sound, the tip of the whip hit him firmly in the face, hitting him in the eye, and he clearly remembered that under the whip, blood burst out from his son's eye sockets.

His eyes were stimulated by the huge pain that made his son, who was already about to faint, suddenly let out a terrible howl like a devil cry, and his body twitched violently, and his strength was so great that the rope that bound him was strangled into the flesh!

"Lord Wang! Rajah! Are you trying to kill him? Wen Bochuan rushed forward desperately, wanting to take the whip from his hand, but he was a Wenchen after all, where could he compare to himself who had practiced martial arts for many years, not only was he not able to snatch the whip, but he was pushed to the ground by himself in anger.

"Wenzhongtang! Bunzhongtang! Several guards were shocked and hurriedly stepped forward to help Wen Bochuan, who had fallen.

"Leave me alone! Just go! Under the whip of the prince! If it's too late, they'll be killed! ”

Several guards listened to Wen Bochuan's orders and were about to step forward, but they were stopped by their own shouts.

"Who dares to come here!"

"Lord Wang! No matter how muddy he is, he is still your own son in the end! Tiger poison doesn't eat children! Rajah! Wenbo Chuan said urgently.

"Junfeng! You don't care! I'm going to kill this beast today! He roared in rage, swung his whip again, and slammed it into his son's face.

Blood splattered, and a drop of hot stuff splashed on his face.

At the same time, the son's terrible screams also came to an abrupt end.

He subconsciously wiped his face with his hand, and a bright red immediately appeared on his palm.

Blood! That's blood!

When he looked up, he saw that the son on the pillar had already lowered his head, his face was blurred with flesh and blood, and in some places Sensen's white bones were exposed.

"Smack! Syllable! ”

He was still struggling to whip his son, who had already been beaten into a bloody man at this time, and every time he hit him, a spot of blood would be raised. At first, whenever the whip fell on him, his body twitched, but after his head was beaten several times, he stopped moving.

I don't know how long it took, I stopped the whipping, threw it away, and fell to my knees at once.

Because of the relationship between the force, he knelt there with his hands on the ground, and his arms trembled uncontrollably.

"Lord Wang......" Wen Bochuan lost his voice.

"Hahahaha......" He sat on the ground, looked at his son, who was tied to the pillar and had no sound, turned his back to the sky, and laughed with tears in his eyes.

"This time...... You should be satisfied......" he said to himself as he laughed like a maniacal, and then began to cry.

……

"Lord ......"

Lin Yizhe came to his side and called softly.

He turned his head mechanically, looked at Lin Yizhe, and suddenly grinned and laughed.

"Look...... he pointed to his son who was lying on the ground, "I beat him to death, Your Majesty...... Huangquan Road...... With a companion, you know, he's ...... The Queen Mother's hand-picked companion ...... With him by his side, the emperor will not be lonely......"

As he spoke, he burst out laughing, laughing and laughing, and tears flowed down his face.

At that time, I was already in a frenzy, and I couldn't tell whether I was crying or laughing.

Lin Yizhe calmed down at this time, got up and calmly came to his son's corpse, and bowed respectfully and deeply.

Seeing Lin Yizhe's strange movements, he laughed even louder.

Lin Yizhe turned around and came to him, and bowed deeply again.

"The prince is brave and resolute, and he will be safe in the future if he does this act of breaking his wrist by a strong man!" (To be continued......)
