Chapter 31 What to rely on for the lonely

Quanfu is an inconspicuous wine shop in the capital, with an inn in the backyard, and a black donkey screaming and howling with his neck crooked next to the locust tree in the patio.

In the Tianzi room, the simple tables and chairs, the fire kang covered with tattered mattresses, and the white porcelain teapot and teapot spout on the table were all missing, which made Rui Si, who had just picked up the teapot and was about to pour himself a cup of tea, frowned and retracted his hand, and Rui Si had a fire in his heart.

But isn't it, he Yi actually ascended the throne, and he sat on the ninety-five position so easily, which was ten days ago, which surprised everyone.

In fact, Rui Si had already seen the clue, the news of the death of the little emperor suddenly spread in Beijing, and people were panicked, who could it be if this was not his six kings?

It is clear that the news was leaked out early in order to force the queen mother of the two palaces to give way, and these years have been haunted and troubled, Xianfeng Ye and Qi Xiangye have been in power for just a few years, the world is full of chaos, the ministers in Beijing are afraid, tired, and people are determined, and they all hope to be safe and stable, hoping that there will be a young and powerful new monarch to lead the gang to pass this hurdle, the time and place are favorable, and the six princes are so cheap.

But I'm just not convinced!

Kicked the table hard, Rui Si immediately took a painful breath, and thought aggrievedly, master, where are you? Why haven't you come yet? How can this be born in the future?

Suddenly, there was a gentle knock on the wooden door, two light and one heavy.

Rui Si was excited, jumped up, trotted over and opened the door, seeing the kind and smiling face outside, Rui Si was teary-eyed, and when the master entered the house, he couldn't help it anymore, knelt down and hugged the master's leg and cried: "Master, master, the devil six bastards have usurped!" What to do?! ”

Ye Zhao was so angry that he kicked him away, this is the head of the Internal Affairs Bureau, maybe he will be the head of his own Internal Affairs Office in the future, what will it be?

The sixth prince knew about the emperor early on, but he didn't expect him to act so fast, while writing a letter to win himself over, he boarded the treasure with lightning speed.

Speaking of the abundance of the wings of the six princes because of their own butterfly effect, Emperor Xianfeng did not completely fight with him, and died earlier, so that the forces that supported the six princes to compete for the throne still existed, and the Lan Guiren had less to grind for a few years, and Emperor Qixiang was a squeaky child who died early, which made the minister of Beijing have not really entered the mentality of the Xianfeng Dynasty, and the Xianfeng Emperor has no blood, and the six princes ascended the throne can be described as expected, even if they themselves, they can't reverse this situation.

The sixth prince also knows this, with his knowledge, after ascending to the position of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, he will definitely not suppress himself as before, but will only limit the balance, and wait for the world to settle the swords and guns into the warehouse, as long as he is cautious, he can also be rich and glorious for a lifetime.

Of course, the premise is that he is accustomed to serving him as a monarch on thin ice.

Seeing Rui Si's pitiful wiping of tears, Ye Zhao couldn't cry or laugh, sat down with a big horse golden knife, and said with a smile: "What are you crying about?" Scared? ”

Rui Si wiped his tears and said hatefully: "How much is the slave's bones worth?" The slave is not afraid of death, the slave is just not convinced, why is his sixth brother plotting to usurp the dynasty?! ”

Ye Zhao frowned slightly and waved his hand: "Don't say anything like this in the future." ”

"Yes! However, the slave doesn't say it on his lips, he says it every day in his heart, and every time he says it, the slave is just not convinced! Rui Si gritted his teeth, but his heart was full of helplessness, knowing that the matter was a foregone conclusion, and it would be impossible to turn it around.

"Are you ready for your preparations?" Ye Zhao asked lightly.

"Yes, the minions have done what the master said!"

Seeing Ruisi's look full of resentment, Ye Zhao just chuckled.

Ye Zhao's thoughts, I am afraid that there is no one else in this world who can understand, so I said that the sixth prince, even if he is smart, how can he know what Ye Zhao thinks?

…… The West Warm Pavilion of Shouxi Palace, it is drizzling outside, and the warm pavilion is also gloomy.

The palace maid Xi'er knelt in front of the kang to beat the back of the queen mother's Niu Colu, and on the other side of the kang table, there was the beautiful Lan Guiren, and the two were having a narrative about whether they were together.

It's all gossip, and it stops talking, like a layer of window paper.

Niu Colu's pretty eyes suddenly turned red, "Sister, do you still blame me?" She also knew that she didn't send someone to inform the sixth child in a hurry, and she was afraid that things would not develop to this point.

When Xi'er heard this, she gently got off the kang and slowly retreated.

Lan Guiren picked up the orchid finger and gently picked up the teacup, the gorgeous jade gilt nail sets rustled, as beautiful as an orchid blooming, and sighed softly: "How can I complain about you?" If you want to complain, you will complain to the emperor that he is blessed, and my sister and I are blessed......"

"I didn't expect the sixth child to be such a person." There was a hint of resentment on Niu Colu's pretty face, she had always been peaceful and generous, but this time she really hated the six kings from the root.

Lan Guiren sighed lightly, "The hearts of the people in the world can't be seen until this juncture." ”

Niu Colu's face was a little confused, "Last night, Lord Xianfeng gave me a dream, scolding me for not keeping the family business, I, I went down to Jiuquan, and I didn't see him......" As she spoke, she slowly closed her eyes, lest tears roll down.

Lan Guiren knelt on the kang, gently helped Niu Colu rub his heart, and said softly: "Sister, don't worry, otherwise it will not be good for you to feel distressed." ”

Niu Colu's heart was like a knife, he held Lan Guiren's hand and choked.

Xi'er's crisp voice came from outside the door of the warm pavilion: "Queen Mother, the pharmacy Xiaochunzi has sent medicine." ”

Lan Guiren was slightly stunned, but he forgot that there was such a thing, and he didn't remember when he sent the letter to the pharmacy. But it was also difficult for them, and at this time they had a heart, and shouted: "Call him in." ”

Outside the door, a little eunuch came in with his head down, hunched over, carrying a string of paper gourd medicine bags in his hand, and his posture was obscene.

Lan Guiren didn't like it when he saw it, frowned slightly, and said, "What kind of medicine are you?" When do I want it? ”

The little eunuch knelt down respectfully and kowtowed, and his voice was sharp: "Back to the Queen Mother, this medicine for the slave can cure all diseases, the inside can smooth the five internal organs, and the outside can lead to nine lakes and four seas." ”

Lan Guiren's pretty face had an angry expression, "What a minion, is this your poor mouth?" "But no one dares to bully the door!

"If the spirit is not spiritual, the Queen Mother will know it when she tries it!" As he spoke, the little eunuch slowly raised his head and lowered it very quickly.

Lan Guiren was startled, and almost lost his voice and shouted, but then he regained his composure and snorted coldly: "When did you enter the palace, your eyes are tight!" Seeing that the little eunuch's hand was gesturing on the ground, obviously in the form of writing, I followed his gesture.

The little eunuch replied: "The slave has been in the palace for three months and has been on duty in the pharmacy. He kept his hands on the ground, repeating the gesture on the ground.

Lan Guiren frowned and said, "Get out!" I can't complain that there are no rules and no distance, but I have to ask the rich father-in-law, how did you teach these minions! ”

The little eunuch knew that Lan Guiren had seen what he had written, so he immediately kowtowed a few times, got up and stepped back.

Needless to say, the little eunuch is Ye Zhao, the stakes are very high, relying on others to spread the message, I am afraid that Lan Guiren and the Empress Dowager Ci'an will not be gullible after all, and they can only venture into the palace for a walk.

It is conceivable that the six kings have just ascended the throne, and the situation is not stable, even if he can't imagine that someone has moved the mind of "hijacking" the queen mother, how can Shouxi Palace not be full of his eyeliner? Every move is really terrifying.

Ye Zhao came out of Shouxi Palace, still with that hunched back obscene posture, no way, he was tall and tall Yushu Lingfeng, if he didn't dress up like this, it would be too eye-catching in the eunuch pile.

Xiao Xiaobu went straight to the Donghuamen Pharmacy, and when he got there, he changed his shirt and mixed out of the palace with the medicine dealer, the eyeliner and the medicine dealer in this palace were all bought by Ruisi, but they never imagined how bold the little brother who "entered the palace and gained knowledge" was.

The sky has been darkened, and the drizzle is drizzling in the vast twilight, and the palace people are going to the palace lamp.

Ye Zhao was walking, and suddenly a shrill voice shouted behind him: "You, stop!" ”

Ye Zhao was stunned, slowly stopped, and the sound of footsteps behind him came, and a fat eunuch walked over, looking at the level of service is the chief eunuch, Ye Zhao had a cyan birthmark painted on his face, if it wasn't for Lan Guiren's eyes, she wouldn't be able to recognize it, let alone that there were no eunuchs in the palace who had seen him.

But if you are suspected, it will be a little bad.

The fat eunuch looked Ye Zhao up and down, and after a while, he asked with compassion: "What is the eye, which father-in-law are you with?" ”

"Pharmacy rich father-in-law." Ye Zhao respectfully and respectfully.

"Old rich? Then I don't say anything, you come with me! The fat eunuch took the lead, and Ye Zhao complained bitterly, so he could only follow him.

Turn a corner, it is the white marble square, and there is a majestic temple in front of it.

Seven or eight little eunuchs were carrying wood by the vermilion wall, not knowing what kind of construction was going to be built here.

The fat eunuch pointed to the little eunuchs working over there, and said, "I'm short of manpower here, the work is urgent, you go, help transport the wood, I'll tell you for you." ”

Ye Zhao really wanted to kick him up, and grabbed the flowers.

But he could only laugh: "Father-in-law, look at my bones, how can I do this job." He lowered his voice, leaned in front of the fat eunuch and said, "There is Korean ginseng in the small room, which weighs half a catty, and I will send it to you later?" ”

The fat eunuch looked at Ye Zhao with small eyes, and then burst out laughing, raised the orchid and pointed at Ye Zhao's forehead, and snorted: "You little monkey cub, you are really clever, why don't you go quickly?" ”

Ye Zhao had goosebumps all over his body, and hurriedly agreed, turned around and ran.

In the courtyard of the pharmacy, the eunuch and the pharmacist Boss Li were almost scared to death, why did the guy suddenly bring in no one? This is going to get out, and both of them are guilty of capital crimes.

When Ye Zhao came back, the eunuch didn't ask, so he hurriedly urged the two to leave, the way to survive in the palace, the less trouble, the better, and the more people will pretend to be confused, the better.

…… A few days later, the south study.

The rows of bookshelves did not know that they contained tens of millions of books, and the huge gold-encrusted bookcases shone in the candlelight, as if a golden dragon was swimming on the table.

The six kings stood in front of the bookcase, their faces dazed, and they didn't know what they were thinking.

"The Emperor's ......"

Hearing these two words, the hearts of the six kings trembled for no reason, before they sat in this seat, that kind of eagerness and expectation has long been gone, and what is left is the pressure and loneliness, and the problems that need to be considered one by one that seem to be endless, how to govern this ruined government?

The master of ZTE, can you do it yourself?

The little eunuch didn't know that the emperor was worried, so he continued respectfully: "Today, the queen mother of the two palaces has summoned the opera troupe to watch the play, and now the Shouxi Palace can be lively." ”

The six kings sighed softly in their hearts, they didn't intend to invite the two imperial sisters-in-law to move out of the East Sixth Palace, but they proposed it first, and insisted on going to live in Shouxi Palace, which was obviously quite prejudiced against themselves.

Although he also has selfish intentions, the Qing Dynasty is really unable to toss endlessly.

Even if there are thousands of difficulties, slandered by the world, and slandered by future generations, I have to go down this road.

However, I'm sorry for the two imperial sisters-in-law, they like to call the troupe, which is also a good sign.

Suddenly, the six kings were stunned again, the troupe?

After pacing and pondering for a while, he turned around and said, "Drive Shouxi Palace!" "Although I have tried to avoid them as much as possible in this period of time, I don't know how? I said that I was a little bottomless in my heart today.

The chickens and dogs jumped in the big interior, the six kings were in front, and a bunch of eunuchs trotted behind him, he did not sit on the public opinion, but only ordered the public opinion to follow behind, and walked to the Shouxi Palace.

Hearing the sound of bangzi coming out of the west side hall in the courtyard of Shouxi Palace, the six kings knew that the stage was set inside, and strode forward, and some eunuchs opened their mouths and wanted to shout "The emperor has arrived", but he waved his hand to stop.

In the side hall, the sun monkey with the red tasseled walker's hat is turning his head, and there are two figures faintly in the north through the yellow curtain, which are the queen mothers of the two palaces watching the play.

"Good, good!" The eunuch and the palace maid applauded loudly, and the monkey turned over seventy-two heels in one breath, fell to the ground suddenly, his face was not red and he was not panting, and jumped on the golden hoop stick to do the magic of the six ways of seeing.

"Good!" It's another earth-shattering applaud.

Several eunuchs and palace maids were rewarded by the queen mother, and they were fascinated by it, and applauded, but no one noticed the six kings who quietly paced in.

The six kings stood for a while, seeing that the two queen dowagers also pretended not to see themselves, they felt bored, and they were about to turn around and leave, when they suddenly frowned, stared at the yellow mantle for a while, their faces changed slightly, and they walked over quickly.

The eunuchs and palace maids who watched the play finally saw the six kings, and they were so frightened that they bowed down one after another, and the gongs and drums of the troupe stopped sounding, and immediately the crowd in the hall knelt on the ground.

"Two imperial sisters-in-law." Walking a few steps in front of the yellow mantle, the six kings bowed slightly, and he was very respectful to the two imperial sisters-in-law.

After the yellow curtain, no one said anything.

The six kings didn't hesitate anymore, stretched out their hands to lift the yellow curtain, but saw that above Fengluan, where was the queen mother of the two palaces? It is clear that the two palace maids were changed into the queen mother's clothes, their eyes were closed at the moment, and they were obviously stunned, but the posture was extremely clever, and they couldn't be seen from outside the yellow curtain.

"What about the Queen Mother!" The Six Kings turned around and asked sharply.

The eunuchs, palace maids and all the actors were stunned, how could anyone speak?

"Take it all for me!" The six kings strode out as they spoke, "Xuanfeng Sheng, Zhu Ketu!" "Feng Sheng is the Admiral of the Nine Gates, and Zhu Ketu is the same as Prince Zheng, as the Minister of the Guard, but after the Six Kings ascended the throne, Zhu Ketu naturally became the head of the Guards.

…… In the south study, news came, half an hour ago, several actors in the troupe went out of the palace with waist cards, saying that they were going back to the theater to get props, and several actors were still depicting their faces, looking very anxious.

After drawing the face of the play, the six kings can almost conclude that there are two queen mothers in it.

Feng Sheng'er and Zhu Ketu hurriedly came in and knelt down to see the driver, both of them looked anxious, not knowing what was wrong.

"The Queen Mother of the Two Palaces was held hostage by thieves!" The emperor's tone was gloomy, and Feng Sheng's forehead and Zhu Ketu's backbone were numb, and they were even more surprised.

"The thieves will go to sea from Zhigu, and send an order to Zaksaka, and the cavalry will go out of the city to pursue! Fengsheng, you give the order to go down and close the city gates, and strictly investigate the thieves! Zhu Ketu, you can search me carefully again in this palace! You go now! ”

"Wow!" Feng Sheng and Zhu Ketu were busy kowtowing to the order, and went to sea from Zhigu, who did this? Feng Sheng'er asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, if you meet a thief?" The Queen Mother threatens ......"

The six kings' faces were cold: "Kill on the spot!" ”

Feng Sheng'er and Zhu Ketu understood that what thieves were hijacking, most of them were the queen mothers fleeing, but now that the emperor has set the general trend, where can they flee?

Sea?

Both of them immediately thought of Guangzhou Jingxiang, but also, if the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces fell into the hands of Jingxiang, it would be really a trouble, this kid has a lot of intestines, but I don't know what conspiracies and tricks there are.

After Feng Sheng'er and Zhu Ketu left, the six kings turned around a few times, and suddenly they were shocked again, and called the little eunuch: "Xiao Dezi, go to the Five Princes' Mansion to upload my words, I want to see the emperor's nephew today." ”

Xiao Dezi chirped and hurriedly turned around.

…… The purple shed carriage was galloping, following the carriage, more than 100 fierce riders, and there were all carbines hanging next to the saddle, which were Ye Zhao's flag guards.

Ahead, the sea and the sky could already be seen in the moonlight from a distance, Ye Zhao raised his hand, and all the riders pulled the reins and slowed down.

This is the territory of Yongping Mansion, Ye Zhao did not go straight to Gu, knowing that the Six Kings would definitely send elite cavalry to pursue, and would get rid of themselves and even the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces at any cost.

Ye Zhao remembered that there was a natural harbor in the Yongping Mansion, and Sun Yat-sen once said that it would be built on the same scale as New York Harbor.

Among the sailors who brought the capital, a steamer went to Zhigu to hide people's eyes, and the Dinghai and Yongbo came to the waters of Yongping Province to meet them.

The task force infiltrated the capital, and a few people under Ruisi's arrangement entered the troupe and sang a big drama of stealing dragons and turning phoenixes. Now the task force is temporarily scattered with Ruisi in the capital to avoid the limelight, and will return to Guangzhou when the limelight has passed.

It's just that the troupe suffered, although everyone didn't know about it, but I thought that the six kings would be angry with them, and I only hoped that their next actions would make them escape.

The carriage stopped, and the curtains of the windows and doors were lifted, revealing the slightly discolored face of Niu Colu, who didn't know what had happened.

Ye Zhao dismounted and turned over and bowed down, and said sadly: "The slave Jingxiang asked the queen mother of the two palaces to say goodbye, the slave died, the slave was late, and the queen mother of the two palaces was bullied by Xiaoxiao!" ”

Niu Colu looked at Ye Zhaoqiao's face and gradually gentle, and said, "You, you are very good!" ”

In the spacious carriage, accompanied by Niu Colu and Lan Guiren were two female members of the task force, one woman was still holding a sleeping little boy in her arms, it was the little elder brother of the Wuwang family, Zailian, who was brought out by Rui Si who had bribed the nurse of the Wuwang Mansion early.

If there is no bloodline of Emperor Daoguang, just take the queen mother of the two palaces to Guangzhou, many things will not be right, and with this little brother, from now on in Guangzhou, you can advance and retreat, attack and defend, as long as you don't call the emperor blatantly confront the six kings, the six kings have no way to take Guangzhou.

In this way, two regimes, one in the south and one in the north, one dark and one bright, were formed, and it was only necessary to maintain superficial compliance with the edicts of the capital, but in fact, all kinds of changes could be carried out.

Ye Zhao said respectfully: "Please move the queen mother of the two palaces, the slave is bold and specialized, the queen mother of the two palaces patrols Guangzhou, and the slave thinks it is appropriate to take the sea route." ”

Niu Colu sighed softly: "Hurry up, you kid, don't care about our face, we are all our own family, we know what is going on." ”

As they spoke, Niu Colu and Lan Guiren slowly got out of the car with the support of the female guard.

Lan Guiren smiled at Ye Zhao, but didn't say anything.

Ye Zhao led the way, Lan Guiren and Niu Colu came to the beach later, the flag guards stood far away and dispersed to guard, someone banged, and shot a signal flare, which was extremely dazzling in the night.

On the sea in the distance, there was also a green signal flare rising, and Ye Zhao smiled and said, "Okay, when you get on the boat, the queen mother of the two palaces and the servants will be safe." ”

Niu Colu sighed, "It's really hard for you." "Earlier, I heard Sister Xigong talk about going to Guangzhou, Niu Colu was very surprised, even if she was taken by the Six Kings, she was really unwilling to leave Beijing, and only reluctantly agreed under the persuasion of Lan Guiren.

But now looking at Ye Zhao, Niu Colu couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he still remembered the former emperor Xianfengye, this is full of court, and Jingxiang is the child, but it is really difficult for him, thousands of rivers and mountains, desperately trying to protect himself and Xingzhen.

"There's nothing to be embarrassed about a minion!" As he spoke, under the bright moonlight, seeing more than a dozen small boats rowing on the sea in front of him, Ye Zhao hurriedly turned around and knelt down and said, "Please be wronged by the Queen Mother for a while, get on the boat, and the slave will be the queen mother." ”

Niu Colu's heart is so soft, and it is still said that among the feudal officials, who can be so respectful to himself?

"You, get up quickly, from now on, don't kneel, I'll be the master, Zai Lian recognizes you as an uncle, and I and the Queen Mother are your sisters-in-law." As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Lan Guiren, "Sister, what are you talking about?" ”

Lan Guiren nodded slightly, her pretty eyes glanced at the little brother Zailian from time to time, and she didn't know what she was thinking about.

"This, the minions don't dare!" Ye Zhao now regrets it slightly, other people's orphans and widows, now I am sincerely grateful to you, you have been pretending to deceive other people's feelings, it is not a hero. Yes, can the two queen mothers be estranged or estranged, so as not to be ruthless in the future.

Niu Colu couldn't help but say, "It's decided!" Whether you call us the queen mother or sister-in-law in the future, it's up to you. ”

Imperial sister-in-law? Ye Zhao was even more helpless, and said, "Slave ......"

Niu Colu frowned slightly, Ye Zhao sighed in his heart, knowing that the two queen mothers had just fallen from the pinnacle of power, and now they were afraid that their mood was very sensitive, and they cared more about whether others valued her or not.

I had to clench my fists and say: "So my brother obeys orders!" ”

Niu Co Lu was relieved and nodded slightly. Over there, Lan Guiren took the little elder brother Zailian from the arms of the female guard, and when he saw her actions, Ye Zhao's eyes froze, this woman, has she been blinded by power now?

(To be continued)
