Chapter 711: The Hand of Wind and Thunder

Choose a calendar? Why?

Li Shi only said one sentence: "This time, that time." ”

Xue Xue and Chen Rice were not surprised, but frowned and groaned, their brains turned quickly, not only did they realize that their thinking was poor, but they also thought down in this direction.

Fan Jin said: "What Your Majesty said is extremely true, now that I am Yinghua and overpowering the Manchu Qing Dynasty, why do I need to rely on the Qing Emperor to lay out the pattern like I did with Yongzheng?" ”

When these words came out, everyone else figured it out.

Ten years ago, although Kangxi was defeated, the Manchu Qing Dynasty was still a behemoth, whether it was manpower, material resources or psychology, it was still pressing Yinghua. Not long after the founding of Yinghua, it still needs time to sort out internal affairs and open up the meridians. manipulated the Manchu throne and pushed Yongzheng to get the wrong position, which bought time.

Now, ten years later, the Anglo-Chinese swallowing up the territory south of the Yellow River will also take time to digest. At this time, the pattern of north and south was clear, and the Manchu Qing was already in the weak. The problem facing the Anglo-Chinese in the north was no longer the Manchu invasion, but the stability of the north. If the Manchu regime collapsed now, it would do no one any good, except for the careerists who were best at rising from troubled times.

But to do this, it is no longer necessary to reach a certain degree of tacit understanding with the Manchu emperor through informal channels, as was the case ten years ago. The Yinghua national situation has been placed in the clear, as long as the new emperor is not a straw bag, he should take the initiative to send a tacit understanding, and there is no need to control it anymore.

Therefore, to win the hearts of the Han people, the name of the Hongli is the best choice. In other words, the throne in the north is changing, and Yinghua can move a stool to watch the play.

This is everyone's speculation, and for Li Shi, the reason for choosing Hongli is certainly more sufficient. Who is Hiroshi? In that time and space, at the age of twenty-four, he was cut off by Yongzheng for the vague reason of "imprudent behavior", and then he was cut off, and the cause of death was not found in any Manchu nationality file, and Li Xi did not know anything about this person.

And Hongli...... Ten perfect old man, too familiar, even if the situation has changed greatly, but the personality of the person is difficult to change. Yongzheng inherited Kangxi's irritability and suspicion, and he was rigid and lonely. Hongli inherited Kangxi's conceit and vanity, gained its softness, and lost it. In his later years, he combined the shortcomings of his grandfather and father, irritable, conceited, vain, and paranoid.

Just like dealing with Yongzheng, dealing with Hongli, Li Xi has the bottom in his heart.

Just when everyone nodded and felt that there was no need to meddle in the Manchu throne, Li Xi thought about it one more step and began to frown, and at this time, Xue Xue and Chen Rice also had inferences.

"During the reign of Yongzheng, he advocated the Manchu and Han families, and the Manchu clan relatives and ministers were quite resentful, and the change of throne was difficult to ensure a smooth success."

"Lost most of the country, lost the full barracks, Hongli is young, can he stabilize such a situation?"

The speculation of the two coincides with Li Shi's worries, combined with Li Shi's knowledge of "three hundred years later", the trend of change has always been left and right, overkill, and it is difficult to be modest. Once Yongzheng is gone, the Manchurians are afraid that they will completely negate Yongzheng's policy, Hongli is Yongzheng's designated successor, and this "reactionary trend" is difficult to allow Hongli to take the throne.

On 12 July, the city of Beijing was shrouded in an aura of slaughter, and the news that "the Council of Ministers of the Council of Parliamentarians and the Emperor of the People's Republic of China was established, and Yongzheng's life and death were unknown, and it seemed that he had been forced into the palace" had just been swept into the letter box at the feet of the carrier pigeon, and in Huangpu, thousands of miles away, Li Xianjunchen had already faintly felt it.

After pondering for a moment, Li Xian, who originally felt that he just needed to wait and see, suddenly got up and hurriedly said to Fan Jin and Su Wencai: "The plan that the Privy Council planned earlier to land from Dagukou and enter Beijing should be re-examined and approved quickly!" Dispatch the corresponding personnel of the Army, Navy and Military Intelligence Department to prepare in advance! ”

Tang You once understood, and he said worriedly: "It's easy to meddle, it's hard to get out, it's best to find someone to replace you." ”…,

Xue Xue said: "The people in the north are not the same, the Han people are not the same heart, and even the Manchu people may not be the same heart, there must be people available." ”

Chen Wance handed over his hand: "This matter will be handled by the minister, Jiang Tingxi, a newly promoted university scholar in the north, is familiar with the minister, and the minister will bring the connection between the ministers and the Manchurians." ”

Before the other people had time to keep up, they were all a little stunned, and went straight to Beijing City? That's not what I said before.

At the gate of the Forbidden City, Chong'an, Celeng and Qingfu got Yun's arrangement and went separately to do various important tasks, Xu Yuanmengqiang wanted to go down to appease Hongli's task, and he was looking gloomy and said goodbye to Yun, but Yun stopped it, and after a low voice, his face changed suddenly.

Xu Yuanmeng muttered: "What the prince said before, it's not like that......"

Yun sighed: "The most important thing at the moment is the general trend of the north and the south, the southern barbarians are about to overthrow my Qing dynasty, but the Manchus are in a hurry to hold a council of ministers and want to restore the ancient system of Manchuria." If you restore the ancient system, you can defeat the Nanban? ”

He looked to the north, his eyes were extremely complicated, "Your Majesty...... The fourth brother's method is not wrong, and I also think that this is the only way out, so I would rather suffer myself than disturb the fourth brother. But the fourth brother acted too ...... It's too cold, it's too solid. He was right, but he used the wrong force, forgetting who he really should rely on. ”

Looking at Xu Yuanmeng again, pain and contradiction rose in Yun's eyes, "Ma Qi, they want to bring down the fourth brother, I don't object, but they want a retro system, this is not the way out." But at this critical juncture, I have to get the people in a group, so I can only delay a little time and let them realize the problem for themselves. ”

Xu Yuanmeng's heart trembled, and he breathed a sigh of relief, and arched his hand: "Don't worry, the prince, I, Xu Shanchang, am willing to attach to the prince, protect me from the Qing Dynasty, and find another way out." ”

Xu Yuanmeng hurriedly walked away, looking at his back, Yun smiled bitterly: "Xu Shanchang",...... Have you forgotten your last name? We are Manchurian, what do we have left, so that we feel that we are Manchu and not Han? ”

It was not only Xu Yuanmeng who confused his position, but also the five institutes of the West of the Elder Brother, Xu Yuanmeng entered the Hongli residence that had been heavily surrounded by soldiers, and two angry shouts smashed head-on.

"Xu Shanchang, you are actually a traitor!"

"If you are still honest and honest, you should quickly support the fourth elder brother and kill those traitors!"

One is Cai Shiyuan, the other is Fumin, and the two of them are full of monarchs and ministers, and they are full of tears to crusade against Xu Yuanmeng. The two of them felt a little before, and they came to discuss with Hongli, but they were surrounded by soldiers sent by the Council of Ministers of the Council of Ministers.

"Fourth elder brother, the slave can't help himself......"

Xu Yuanmeng was only ashamed to face these two people, so he hardened his head and went inside to greet Hongli.

"How is my Emperor Amma? No funeral? Good, good...... You guys are really daring! With courtiers like you, I can't be the emperor of Narauszi, but it's luck! ”

Hongli sat at the table, the wine jug on the table, and the wine glass in his hand. His eyes were red, his face was dark, and he spoke with an endless resentment and a deep despair.

The situation has changed, and he has fallen from the prince of the prison country to a prisoner, for this pampered son, he can still face Xu Yuanmeng calmly, and his heart is already extraordinary.

He shuddered and put down his glass, his voice tempered by fear: "What did you bring with you?" White silk or poisoned wine? ”

Xu Yuanmeng didn't dare to say again, stepped forward and whispered for a while, Hongli gradually calmed down, drank another glass of wine, and sneered: "Since the fourteenth uncle has come out, we have hope for the Qing Dynasty." Uncle Fourteen has been circled for ten years, do you want me to taste it? ”

Xu Yuanmeng said: "Fourth elder brother, at this time, the town should be quiet, and the whole body should be on top. Times change, who knows the future? ”…,

Hongli stared at Xu Yuanmeng, and if he realized, Xu Yuanmeng didn't dare to speak, but he nodded hard

His eyes changed for a while, and Hongli gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, the original emperor Ama can bear it, and I, the fourth elder brother, can also bear it!" ”

Xu Yuanmeng hurriedly said again: "I want to borrow Cai Shiyuan and Fu Min for use, the two of them don't believe me, and the fourth elder brother needs to mention it." ”

Not long after, Xu Yuanmeng left Hongli's residence, followed by Cai Shiyuan and Fumin, although the two were tired, their complexions were much better, and their eyes were still shining with messy brilliance. Although Xu Yuanmeng is not the minister of the parliamentary king, he is one of the main people in charge of the Rehe incident. As long as Hongli is not taken away, the generals who block the residence will not dare to ask.

Out of the West Fifth Institute, Cai Shiyuan gave his hand: "I'll go to contact Hanchen, first keep the fourth elder brother, and then try to do the rest." ”

Cai Shiyuan headed south, while Fu Min led a team of guards assigned by Xu Yuanmeng to the north

It was already afternoon, and the sun was scorching, baking the land of Beiyan. In the prison of the Internal Affairs Office, the filth was all over the ground, and the stench was so bad that Ru Xi wanted to tear off all the clothes and skins, and felt that the whole person was in purgatory. If it weren't for the physical and mental experience in the Shilu mine more than ten years ago, I would have already had a nervous breakdown.

Sticking to the ground like a dog, looking for a hint of coolness on the stone tiles of the floor, the cell door suddenly opened.

"Sister!"

"Master!"

Ru An and Li Lianying's voices mixed with hurried footsteps, and Ru Xi muttered to herself, "Is this in a dream?" ”

Ru An, who had a big belly, appeared, and then Li Lianying rushed in and hurriedly helped her unshackle, Ru Xi fainted with happiness, not a dream.

Since the two of them can come to visit the prison and untie her shackles, it naturally means that she is out of trouble.

"I still read my ......"

When he woke up, he was already in a remote hall, and Ru Xi burst into tears.

Ru An burst into tears: "Sister...... The emperor has "","

"The emperor had a stroke...... Clan rebellion...... It is recommended that the Council of Ministers ...... The ...... of the abolition of the Hongli Lihong"

After a series of shocking changes, Ru Xi's face kept changing pale, but under the nervous gaze of Ru An and Li Lianying, he did not faint again, and there was no intense emotion.

"It turned out that the emperor didn't let me go, I was really wishful thinking, I had a stroke...... God punished him! That's it! This Qing Dynasty is in chaos like this, and it should be him! Don't listen to me a long time ago! Idiot! Idiot! Two stunned! Lunatic! ”

The two didn't know that Ru Xi's heart was full of schadenfreude and endless sorrow.

"Fu Min let me go? How could it be him? He is a Hongli person, who is behind him? Xu Yuanmeng? No...... It is not his master. ”

The chaotic mood was quickly dispelled, and Ru Xi's eyes flashed, and he was quickly calculating.

"Fourteen must have come out, if they want to bring down the emperor, they have to have fourteen in charge, it seems to be Fourteen's idea, hehe...... Haha......"

The laughter echoed, and Ru An and Li Lianying looked at each other timidly, not understanding what their sister/master was enjoying.

Ru Xi gritted his teeth and said: "Sister, little Lizi, this Qing Dynasty is on the verge of destruction. But I can save this country, and only I can save it! Fourteen knew this and let me out! ”

Ru An and Li Lianying didn't understand the current situation, so they felt that Ru Xi's words were too much. In the past, it was because Li Xi needed her to contact Yongzheng that he had the wealth and fame of the past ten years. But now, not only Yongzheng has been forced into the palace, but Li Xi has already abandoned her line, what else is there to rely on? Ru Xi looked at ease behind the play, and smiled faintly: "Wait, wait until ......"

..., looking through the window, looking south, Ru Xi said: "When he stretches out his hand, no matter how strong those ministers are, as long as he is in the middle of the hand, no one in the world can stop him, and I am the only one who understands him in this Qing Dynasty." As far as I know, he will never sit idly by, he will definitely reach out! ”

Ru An and Li Lianying didn't dare to interject, the "he" in Ru Xi's mouth was most likely Li Xi, but at this time, Ru Xi's tone when he talked about "him" was the same as the tone when he talked about Yongzheng, full of worship and resentment.

Five in the south of the Forbidden City, where Hongshi lived, Hongshi was walking in circles in the backyard.

"I'm tall, can I do it in time?"

"Do you really want to go to the Emperor before the collapse of the Emperor? Can't you go without going? Or a sheer curtain? ”

"You say...... Which place should I choose as the palace of government? Huang Ama's Heart Nourishing Hall naturally could no longer be used.

His face was flushed, and he seemed to have endless questions, Chong'an replied casually on the side, but sighed softly in his heart.

"That's right! The most important thing is the Nanban! I've thought about it, I've thought about it for a long time! As long as you contact the Dzungar to give him Tibet and the western frontier, and let them enter Shaanxi and Gansu, you can destroy the southern barbarians in the west! ”

"Jingzhou can't hold it over there, and Xiangyang has to hold it too! Yue Zhongqi is a Han Chinese, and most of the war situation in Hubei was corrupted by him, so he can transfer Nian Qianyao over, he is familiar with it. ”

"Jiangnan can't be lost, must not be lost, if you can't keep it, you will be beaten into nothing! Let's buy guns and ships from the Spaniards, we have silver, and Huang Ama has saved more than 40 million taels, how can it be enough to pull a majestic sailor! ”

Hongshi gushed endlessly, and has completely taken on the role of the emperor.

"It's the Nanban ...... that matters"

In the military aircraft department, Zhang Tingyu, Jiang Tingxi, Liu Tongxun and other Hanchen were sitting silently, and it took a long time before Zhang Tingyu spoke to Cai Shiyuan in front of him.

Cai Shiyuan said angrily: "But the rebellion of the monarch and the minister is around!" Shall we, as courtiers, be indifferent and look at us!? ”

Liu Tongxun also nodded vigorously, but then shook his head helplessly.

Zhang Tingyu sighed: "What is the outline of the Qing Dynasty? What kind of king are we loyal?

Cai Shiyuan's forehead was full of green tendons: "Of course it's the monarch and the minister!" The emperor was forced into the palace by the clan relatives, and the crown prince who was established early was replaced by the clan relatives, such a rebellion, even if we and the middle hall are unable to recover, we must do our duty as a courtier! ”

Zhang Tingyu shook his head: "The outline of the Qing Dynasty is often divided between Manchu and Han!" We, Hanchen, are loyal to the king of the Manchurians! ”

This sentence was like a sharp blade, straight into everyone's hearts, not only Cai Shiyuan's face turned pale, but everyone else felt that it was difficult to breathe.

"We are loyal that the dragon chair is full of people! If it weren't for this, how could we Han people enter this court and decide this Qing state affair!? ”

Zhang Tingyu's eyes were also rolling with pain, and at the same time, a trace of remembrance rose. More than a decade ago, Lee's words seemed to echo in his ears again.

Zhang Tingyu's words are like gold and iron: "If the Manchu people want to rule the world, they will be able to raze into the summer!" You have to support the Taoism of our Han people! This is Da Ren! The righteousness of kings and ministers should also be divided into great righteousness and small righteousness! The emperor knows me and uses me, almost like a humerus, how can I not feel this kindness!? For our Han humane unity, we must keep the righteousness and seek the great benevolence! ”

Liu Tongxun obviously had been taught by Zhang Tingyu and had a deep understanding, and he also persuaded: "Hearing this, if we Hanchen want to continue to stay in the court, continue to protect the Taoist system, and continue to stabilize the northern country, we have to stay out of the matter and choose their own king." No matter who it is, as long as we sit on the dragon chair, we will have the emperor, and the Taoist system will continue to be guarded. ”

Cai Shiyuan was silent for a moment, and said angrily: "What big benevolence and small benevolence!?" What Taoism!? What is the difference between Manchu and Han!? Isn't there an emperor now? Aren't we the emperor's courtiers? Even the righteousness of the monarch and the minister can't be kept, where is the Taoism, where is the benevolence!? ”

On the side, Jiang Tingxi laughed, and it was a bitter wry smile: "Huayi's distinction, the righteousness of the monarch and the minister, it is really difficult to coexist." What we are asking for is the distinction of Huayi, what we are asking for is the righteousness of the monarch and the minister, and the rule of the Manchurians is among us, how can it be difficult to eliminate, what is going on with this system? ”

Cai Shiyuan gritted his teeth and waved his sleeves: "Okay, you ask for your great benevolence, and I ask for my righteousness!" I would like to advise Zhongtang and all of you, even if you want to shrink aside and watch the fire from the other side, you must stretch out your hand to protect Hongli. Otherwise, no one will be spared! ”

Zhang Tingyu still sighed: "How much can we manage this matter by reaching out, it is difficult to protect ourselves." It's like the big Qing country in front of you. If I expected it to be true, this wind and rain spread to the south, and the Holy Dao Emperor also stretched out his hand, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he didn't know what kind of wind and thunder it was. ”
