When Ruan Phuc Thanh saw a minister being killed in the palace like this, he only felt a surge in his stomach and wanted to vomit. But the bloodstain also ignited something else in his bones, perhaps the blood nature of the Ruan royal family. He sneered: "Don't kill people on top of the Golden Palace in the future, because killing comes and goes, and I don't know when it will be my turn." ”

The face of the Venerable said suddenly changed, and all the ministers looked at the sword that the Venerable said in horror, for fear that the new emperor would become the first person in history to die on the first day he ascended the throne.

The eyes of the Venerable Room were fierce and domineering, and Ruan Fusheng did not avoid his gaze, staring at him, with a mocking smile on his lips.

Zun Mu said that suddenly burst into laughter: "Your Majesty is extremely right, none of us in the Golden Palace, these people can guarantee when they will die, and how ugly their death will be. Everyone is destined to do so. ”

He strode up the jade steps, and all the officials changed color in an uproar. Before coming to the throne, his elbow was propped on the dragon case, as if he was talking to an old friend, and he whispered to Ruan Phuc Sheng: "Your Majesty, do you know how this person on the dragon throne went down a few days ago?" ”

Ruan Fusheng said calmly: "Because I don't listen to you?" ”

Zunmuro said and shook his head: "Because he is not worthy of being the emperor." My venerable room said that if you want to be worthy of the country of the Great Ruan Dynasty, you must choose a person who can really subdue the world. ”

Ruan Fusheng took a long breath and said, "You have found the wrong one, the one who doesn't know how to be the emperor is me." ”

Zun Mu shook his head and said: "The emperor has many methods, some of which have no talents, but they have to grasp everything by themselves and die of exhaustion; Some are suspicious and afraid of the public, for fear that their subordinates will be too capable and too rewarding. Life kills many loyalty; Some delegate power and important ministers. Enjoy yourself. ”

Nguyen Phuc Thanh asked, "Then which one does Your Excellency want me to be?" ”

"These are not good emperors. In fact, a good emperor is nothing more than knowing people. If you can distinguish between right and wrong, you can naturally enjoy the world. ”

"That'...... Are you a loyal servant? Ruan Phuc Sheng looked at the Venerable Room mockingly and said.

"Whether it is a loyal minister or not, it is not the courtiers themselves who have the final say. Those who obey orders every day, shout the dignity of the emperor, and kowtow countless times are not necessarily loyal ministers. Speaking out, it seems rude. Those who are not subject to the king's orders are not necessarily traitors. An emperor can see this, and only then can he be regarded as the first emperor. ”

Ruan Fusheng looked at him, and suddenly remembered what his mother said: People's hearts are ever-changing, and they are just love, lust, and hatred. If you see through these four words, you will see through people's hearts.

He nodded, "Lord Venerable is indeed a loyal servant. It's just that you're going to die a terrible death. ”

The Venerable Room said that his face suddenly changed, and he bowed his head in the lower hall: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”

For some reason, the hundreds of officials in this battle of swords and the opposition suddenly became in awe of this puppet emperor, and they all knelt down together, shouting long live again.

Ruan Fusheng felt it. It was as if countless people were laughing wildly.

"Your Majesty, according to the former law etiquette. Please set the sum as the year number. ”

The edict that had been prepared long ago was finally handed to Ruan Phuc Sheng's case, "Baohe? Ruan Fusheng sneered, "The world clearly cannot maintain peace, and it is only by compromise and concession that it came, so this era name might as well be set as Concord." ”

The warden was taken aback, he had never heard of such an unruly era name. The ministers in the palace also looked at each other.

"That's it." Ruan Fusheng sneered, painted the word Baohe on the edict, wrote the word "Xiehe" directly on the side, and stamped it with the imperial seal.

All the officials shook their heads, and there was a sigh in the hall. This emperor really deserves to be ridiculous.

From this moment on, he was the "Emperor of Concord".

The Venerable said that he didn't care about it, and he already had the second edict in his hand. At this moment he slowly stepped forward and placed it on the table.

He didn't say anything, but Ruan Fusheng could clearly see that the edict was as heavy as a thousand catties.

It was a peace treaty with the French.

He raised the imperial seal, and he suddenly remembered his father's words when he was dying: "After I passed away, among my sons, I was able to chase Fayi in the south, and Beiping was in turmoil, regaining my homeland in Vietnam, and the head of the Fa chief was laid in the ancestral temple, so that he could be regarded as the emperor of my Nguyen clan!" ”

"This edict cannot be issued." Nguyen Phuc Thanh clenched the imperial seal.

The Venerable Room said with a smile: "Your Majesty is trying to fight for face? Now years of war, we have killed tens of thousands of elite soldiers, and now even the thieves in various places are not able to levy, the French warships have destroyed the Shun'an Fort with cannons, and the soldiers are coming to the city, forcing the signing of a treaty, how can there be strength in the city to resist? The first emperor has been fighting in all directions for many years, and the wars in various places are only getting more and more vigorous, the national strength has been exhausted, and the hungry people are in turmoil. Your Majesty did not issue this edict, and I had no choice but to borrow His Majesty's imperial seal. ”

And when he came up, he was to take the edict and the imperial seal. Ruan Fusheng said slowly: "Stop." ”

Venerable said to retract his hand and only stare at Ruan Fusheng.

Ruan Phuc Sheng looked at the edict and laughed. Raising his hand high, he stamped the imperial seal heavily on the edict.

After stamping the imperial seal, Nguyen Phuc Thanh noticed that the imperial seal in his hand was not the "Seal of the Great Southern Emperor" used for diplomatic documents by the Great Nguyen Dynasty, but the "Seal of the King of Vietnam" issued by the Qianguo Dynasty.

This seal, which was used as a seal of the Daqian Empire to show the authority of the suzerainty to Vietnam, had always been hidden deep in the palace and was not used, but this time it was used to cover this edict that represented incomparable humiliation!

Ruan Phuc Thanh seemed to understand something.

Little did he know at the time that this was the last time he would see the seal.

A few days later, a large group of French men broke into the palace in a menacing manner, and this time, none of the guards with bows and arrows, swords and guns arranged by the royal room dared to move.

At the request of the French, a furnace was erected on the Golden Palace, and the seal was taken out, destroyed in public, and melted into silver water.

From this day on, Vietnam was no longer a subject state of the Daqian Empire.

After the French left arrogantly, at the suggestion of Minister Tran Jian Cheng, Nguyen Phuc Thanh sent the "miserable" submission to the Daqian Empire in the tone of "going down to the country", which was regarded as fulfilling the last obligation of the subject country.

After that, as the "Emperor of Concord", he retired to the deep palace. Don't ask about politics anymore. All government affairs were handed over to the three ministers, Nguyen Van Xiang, Zun Mur Shuo and Tran Jian Cheng.

He was painting again like he had done before.

But he didn't know. Everything about him has been known, and his life like this will not last long.

Iwao Konno heard everything that was happening in the Hue court and couldn't help but sneer secretly.

He seems to have seen what kind of chaos will happen after Vietnam.

And he inquired about a very important situation, that is, the French also began to fight infighting.

The contradiction between the French governor of Tokyo, Ho Lo and the commander of the Tokyo Expeditionary Force, Major General Bo Slip. He had heard about it before, but he didn't expect that there would be a quarrel between them.

The most recent fight was fought by a white journalist from France.

It is said that this white journalist has been investigating a case of the murder of a Vietnamese, which involves the fact that Director Ho Luo Chi bribed the Vietnamese mercenaries to collect "criminal evidence" of the improprieties of General Po Slip's previous battles and various illegal acts. He resolutely refused and threw the reporter into prison. When Bo Slip learned the news, he was furious, and he lost his mind for a moment after being tortured by his injuries, and even ordered the troops to break into the prison and rescue the reporter, and the reporter then showed Wave Slip the evidence he had collected, proving that He Luo Ji was collecting evidence against His Excellency the General in many ways, and Wave Slip was furious, and his condition worsened. When he heard this, he dismissed it and said that "all this was a deliberate slander," and while the Navy and the Colony Office were still silent, Bo Slip had already filed a complaint with the War Department.

Unwilling to get involved in the dispute between Ho Lo and Bo Slip, Rear Admiral Lisby, commander of the Far East Fleet, one of the "troikas", simply left Hanoi and returned to the flagship "Baya". The injury of Bo Slip, the conflict with Ho Lo Ho and the departure of Lisby, have already alluded to the stability of the defense of Hanoi City.

All this made Iwao Konno think that it was time for the Black Flag Army to take the opportunity to recover Hanoi City and provoke a greater war.

After completing the intelligence gathering work, Iwao Konno left Hanoi contentedly, sneaked day and night, and returned to Shanxi, where the Black Flag Army was stationed.

Iwao Konno reported to Liu Renyi what he had seen and heard in the past few days, and strongly suggested that Liu Renyi reorganize his troops and horses and attack Hanoi again, but Liu Renyi did not show much interest, and seemed to plan to hold on to Shanxi, which made him depressed.

However, the report of Iwao Konno attracted the attention of Lin Yuansheng, the "supervising army" of the Gui army in the Black Flag Army, and he specially summoned Iwao Iwao of Konno to inquire about it carefully, and then the spies of the Black Flag Army and the Gui Army returned one after another, and the situation reported was similar to what Iwao Konno had heard, and Lin Yuansheng decided to take the Gui Army as the main force, and Huang Shouzhong, Wu Fengdian and other troops of the Black Flag Army as the auxiliary, and took the initiative to attack Hanoi.

In order to ensure that the troops were sufficient, Lin Yuansheng reported his claim to Zhao Wo, who thought it was feasible and reported it to Xu Yanxu, the governor of Guangxi, and the result was immediately approved by Xu Yanxu.

Xu Yanxu, the word Xiaoshan, is a native of Linqing, Shandong. Xianfeng's ten-year jinshi, a typical high-ranking official who became a high-ranking official through the "right path of the imperial examination", naturally has nothing to say, and this prince is still relatively familiar with Vietnamese affairs, and he has no less dealings with Vietnam. In the thirteenth year of Tongzhi, Xu Yanxu, who was a scholar, actually led troops to follow Feng Zicai into Vietnam to help suppress Huang Chongying, the leader of the "Yellow Flag Army". Because compared with other literati, Xu Yanxu has such more military exploits on his resume, so he was seriously awarded the title of "Zhibing" by his colleagues. He is not as complacent and indifferent to external things as the diehards. He once worked as a "caring person" when he was to Vietnam, and compiled the description of Vietnam's tribute envoys into a book, involving Vietnam's customs and customs, mountains, rivers, fields and rivers, administrative laws, tribute exchanges with Shangguo, and even the checkpoints and arteries on the Sino-Vietnamese border. Although it is only a "literacy universal book", it is also full of loopholes and errors. However, just these pamphlets, which are not lacking in hard and incisive errors, are enough to make those high-ranking officials in the DPRK and China who "stay in Beijing" fall for themselves. And Xu Yanxu's appointment as the governor of Guangxi, which is close to Vietnam, is not unrelated to this booklet.

After the Vietnamese government repeatedly asked the local governments of Yunnan and Guangxi for help, Xu Yanxu also sensed that the French might move north, out of an instinctive reaction to defend their doorstep. After consulting with Cen Yuying, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, and Tang Jiong, the governor of Yunnan. Determined to support the Black Flag Army in its confrontation with the French army. So Xu Yanxu personally stationed in Langshan to command, of course, his command was not to fight, but to transport a steady stream of materials from Guangxi Province to the important town of Bac Ninh, until the battle of Shanxi, Bac Ninh's war materials have been piled up. "Thousands of hardships, years of preparation", "Over the years, people carry horses." All of them were transported to Bac Ninh, and the two commanders were deposited, so that there would be no shortage. ”

may want to really get a battle merit, "Xu Shuai was resentful, and he did not hesitate to fight to destroy this dynasty." Even Zhang Shusheng, the governor of Liangguang who was at odds with Xu Yanxu (he is Huang Guilan's old superior and old in-law), also praised and said: "The whole brigade of the Yunnan Gui army entered Vietnam, and Xu Futai invaded Vietnam with anger, generously arranged, and had the ambition to destroy this dynasty......

And this time I got Zhao Wo's battle report. How can you not make Lord Xu feel uplifted?

After getting Xu Yanxu's approval, Zhao Wo and Lin Yuansheng were very excited. After learning that the Gui army was preparing to regain Hanoi, Cen Yuying, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, also sent reinforcements to the 12th battalion of the Yunnan army to Shanxi, and joined forces with the Gui army of the Black Flag Army. Zhao Wo also sent five battalions of the Gui Army to enrich Lin Yuansheng's troops, and the cadre army in Shanxi City soon reached more than 20,000 people, plus the 8,000 people of the Black Flag Army that had been urgently expanded, and the total strength was close to 30,000.

According to what Iwao Konno heard, the total number of French defenders stationed in Hanoi, including Vietnamese mercenaries, the "Yellow Flag Army" of the former Huang Chongying Division, which had defected to the French, and the "Blue Flag Army" formed by the French recruited cadres and hooligans, totaled only 3,000 people.

Attacking with ten times the force, Lin Yuansheng was confident that he could take Hanoi.

Because this time, with Xu Yanxu's material support, he has 50 more cannons in his hands - of course, because of the preference for traditional artillery, these cannons are all homemade mountain splitting guns.

After everything was ready, Lin Yuansheng, who left Liu Renyi, who was "already in the twilight", and took over the command of the Yunnan Gui Army and the Black Flag Army, was ready to do a big job.

But no one now knows what the final outcome of this battle will be.
