The palace is filled with warm joy, up to the Qianlong Emperor Hongli, the Prime Minister Prince Yunyu, the Minister of Military Aircraft Fumin, Ne Qin, Zhang Tingyu, Wu Xiang, Liu Tongxun and Jiang Tingxi, etc., down to the various ministries of Shangshu Shilang, Kedao Jiuqing, are all smiling, but the joy is not that the Lantern Festival is approaching.

"It's really my luck to be clear......"

Wu Xiang smiled, and everyone else nodded in agreement, without the disgust he had for the leader of the Concubine Party in the past.

"The prime minister of the Southern Barbarians is in charge of the country, the court and the government are fighting, and a country is divided into two petals, and everything is bound to fight endlessly. Mixed with the noise of the clear stream, one person did things, and several people were involved, and it actually returned to the situation of the former Ming Donglin and the eunuch party. I only need to be obscure in the Qing Dynasty, cultivate my virtue and politics, and wait until the building collapses in the Southern Barbarians, and Shenzhou will eventually belong to my Qing Dynasty. ”

Speaking of this, Wu Xiang bowed to Qianlong and said: "Thanks to the ambition of the Long Live Lord to lie down and taste the courage, and to endure it, I can protect the Qing Dynasty to sit and watch ......the wind and clouds."

Everyone visited together, and Qianlong smiled and said: "It depends on all the Qing families, especially the fourteenth uncle......"

After hesitating for a moment, he said again: "There is also the support of the concubine, otherwise I would have collapsed early in the morning." ”

Qianlong sighed again: "Ten years, I have endured it for ten years, three years, the Nanban intervened in Korea, four years split the desert of Northern Mongolia, six years on the Emperor's grandfather Temple, eight years to seize Xi'an, I was unable to bear it several times, I thought about simply making a life and death decision with the Nanban, but for the sake of the Qing Dynasty, for the sake of the people of Li, I still endured it......"

Qianlong counted the major events that made everyone's heart beat in the past ten years. Everyone sighed.

Six or seven years ago, the Nanban raised the Great Korea, and pushed Nian Qianyao to set up another position in Ningguta, and then invaded the northern Mongolian tribes, cutting off half of the Manchu and Mongolian foundations of the Qing Dynasty. At that time, everyone was just numb to it. After all, the Qing Dynasty was supported by the Holy Dao Emperor, and the annexation of Korea and Mongolia was only for interest. It doesn't go straight to the roots. At the same time, the communication between the north and the south has gradually become a trend, and the commercial goods between the two sides are prosperous, and the merchant ships at Tanggu Wharf are constantly increasing. It's really a peaceful world.

But then the wind gradually began to change. The frequent attacks in some subsections seem to be related to the fact that the officials in charge of the affairs between the two countries in the Nanban Kingdom have gradually changed to young people. These people are arrogant and domineering, always regard the Qing Dynasty as inferior to the British, and constantly cause trouble.

In the sixth year, a major event broke out, the Nanban Tongshi Hall pointed fingers at the temple number of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, thinking that the "Holy Ancestor" No. 1 was guilty and asked the Qing Dynasty to change it.

At that time, the clan relatives and courtiers of the Qing Dynasty, plus the current emperor, were almost all stunned. The emperor's temple number is guilty!? You can really say it.

But those Nanban generals are full of words, saying that the name of the British Emperor is the Holy Dao, and you Daqing respect us as the uncle, so we should be ashamed of the elderly, and we can no longer use the holy word, and it is not natural to change the name of Kangxi's Holy Ancestor Temple?

No one here dared to argue anymore, Qianlong, Concubine Chun and Prince Sui joined forces unprecedentedly unanimously to suppress the hot-blooded faction, even if several ministers committed suicide and ignored it. The Qing Dynasty obediently erased the temple name of the Holy Ancestor and changed Kangxi's temple name to the nondescript "Lie Ancestor".

At that time, the reason why the court was not angry was that it was tough. The reason is to hear some wind. said that after the Nanban conquered Mongolia, in order to confront the Rakshasas, he had already aimed at Xi'an. The "Temple Number Incident" is just a deliberate provocation by Nanban, if you don't bear it and give people a handle, Nanban will do it. If you really want to do it, it is not just a city in Xi'an, or even a province in Shaanxi.

The Qing Dynasty was soft, Kangxi changed from a holy ancestor to a martyr's ancestor, and let Nanban live in peace for two years, but he didn't expect that in eight years, Nanban still couldn't help it, and on the grounds that Yue Zhongqi supported the Ma family in Ningxia and attacked the "British Imperial Army", he brazenly sent troops, defeated Yue Zhongqi's 100,000 army, and swallowed Xi'an.

At that time, the Tang newspaper was transmitted to the capital, and the emperor was aggrieved and chanted, "Didn't I promise to be the son of peace", and the princes and ministers were all cracked in the liver and gallbladder, and those who reported the illness complained of illness, and those who returned to their hometowns returned to their hometowns......

…,

Fortunately, Concubine Chun assured that Nanban only needed Xi'an, and Prince Sui also said that Nanban really wanted to go north and come directly from the sea, so everyone settled down. But the chaos in Beijing in those days was almost comparable to the 100-day Guangxu Restoration, and it took more than half a month to return to normal.

In the past ten years, the pressure of the Nanban has turned from light to thick, after receiving Xi'an, it is more like a thundercloud overhead, I don't know when the thunder will fall, and the Qing Dynasty will be turned into powder, so the monarchs and ministers are trembling, and there is no such carefree heart as in the early years, even the emperor does not dare to lend the name of patrol to Huaibei for fun, for fear that the Nanban will take the opportunity to arrest him.

After all, God has mercy on the Qing Dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty still has luck!

Last year, the national teacher of the Southern Barbarians, the emperor who taught the Holy Dao, and it is said that the powerful Duan Hongshi, who was still a descendant of Zhu Ming, finally died.

Since Duan Hongshi's death, many changes have been born in the Nanban country, and it has gradually converged into a phase of decay and chaos.

In the past few days, I saw in the newspapers the piles and clouds of the Nanban, especially the prime minister's ascension to the throne and the monopoly of power, the coercion of the Nanban on the head of the Qing Dynasty finally dissipated, and everyone couldn't help but be happy.

Although I don't understand the dispute between the court and the government, and I am even more puzzled by the number of votes in Nanban to decide the prime minister's choice, the pattern of the prime minister's governance is clear. Those who have read the history books, especially Zhang Tingyu and his Hanchens, seem to have seen the century-old struggle between the former Ming cabinet and the emperor.

Just after the easy break, the surplus is the loss, the British has reached a dead end, and then it is time to turn around and plant the abyss.

Speaking of the great changes in Nanban before and after the pass this year, the courtiers all sighed deeply.

One person said compassionately: "It seems that the dragon spirit of the former Ming Dynasty has not dispersed, and I am destined to suffer from this chaos in the Qing Dynasty, but now it is okay, Nanban will not be able to unify the Tao after all, and he will not be able to establish righteousness, but he has suffered the people of Li and suffered from the disaster of swords and soldiers for decades." ”

One person regretted it: "As soon as the demon died, the Holy Dao Emperor had no one to teach him, and the slaves saw that he was full of merit and contentment." The prime minister ascended the throne, but he was not in Beijing? I haven't seen it in the past generations, and the king is actually so many!? Pity...... It's a pity ......"

Another person chimed in: "The establishment of the crown prince by the Holy Dao Ming has planted a curse. Even if the prime minister is not in turmoil, it will only be a few years, and the prince will become an adult, and I don't know what the big changes are. The Word of God has great wisdom. But I still can't escape the foolishness of Lichu, it's a pity! ”

Another person smiled and said: "When the puppet emperor confers the head and the British is defeated, we will send the temple number again, and we will ...... Yang Zu. How is it? ”

The crowd blushed and applauded. Even Qianlong slapped his face and pointed at the man: "Well said! You can say that again! ”

This breath came out very freely, and the monarch's heart was even more high-spirited. Someone even pulled his throat and said, "Ten years!" Ten years of Nanban will be destroyed! ”

Although Prince Yu gave it to him, he still had a posture of seeking stability and seriousness. However, the speech was also soaked in a rare high-spirited atmosphere, "Although the north and the south have not yet changed the situation, they can also take precautions and make some plans." ”

It was just a small court meeting to celebrate the Lantern Festival, but it became a mobilization meeting for the monarchs and ministers to rejoice and redefine the national policy.

Everyone was talking, deducing the scene of the Southern Barbarian Chaos from all aspects, and how the Qing Dynasty should deal with it, and even how to restore the land and snow. It also sparked heated debates.

The faction of Prince Sui advocated changing the military system and training strong soldiers, while Zhang Tingyu and other Hanchen factions advocated tightening the customs defense, strictly controlling trade, and curbing commerce and rejuvenating agriculture. Wu Xiang and other concubines are old gods, helping both sides. This pattern was originally there in the past, and Qianlong was annoyed when he saw it, but although everyone is arguing today, they are soaked in joy, not the life-and-death fight of the past. Qianlong also felt that he was open-minded and had a bright future.

"Double the Lantern Festival fireworks! Congratulations on this, and in addition...... My ten-year ceremony has also doubled the cost and made it more lively! ”

As Qianlong spoke, he looked at Prince Sui and Wu Xiang, and when he saw the two nodding, it was difficult to suppress the joy in his heart, and he slapped the arm of the dragon chair.

At night, in the Prince's Mansion, Yun Yu and Fu Min, Ne Qin, Qingfu and other henchmen gathered in the secret hall, relatively silent.

"The Great Qing Dynasty is in danger!"

…,

Yun Yu's face is completely different from that in the White Sun Heart Cultivation Palace, covered with a layer of sadness.

"The emperor is deaf and blind, so he picks up good letters, Hanchen is brainless, compared to ancient books to see the present world, his mind is still full of Taoism and etiquette, and he doesn't understand the current situation at all. We are the only ones who can protect and save the Qing Dynasty! ”

Yun Yu said in a deep voice, and Fu Min, Ne Qin Qingfu and the others nodded solemnly.

"I can't see through the affairs of the Nanban Prime Minister and the Yuanfu, but the Holy Dao is not in the capital, so he can do the two things of building a prince and establishing a minister, what does this mean? It means that the politics of the Southern Barbarian Kingdom are harmonious, and the Holy Way has been able to rule vertically! The Nanban newspaper said that if it were not for military affairs, the emperor would no longer ask about politics. On the other hand, the Holy Dao is focused on expanding the territory, and someone has helped him with money, food and personnel, how terrible is this!? ”

The scene depicted by Yunyu made the Manchurian relatives and important ministers such as Neqin and Qingfu gasp. Successive emperors were deeply involved in the affairs of the country, that is, very few emperors were able to concentrate on the outside.

If it is really as Yunyu said, the Holy Dao has been able to handle internal affairs and only look at foreign affairs, then it means that the Qing Dynasty is going to be finished!

If the Holy Dao has the heart to restore the earth, the Qing Dynasty is like a baby, and it has no power to resist.

On the surface, there were three large armies in the Qing Dynasty, one was Yue Zhongqi's army that retreated to Henan, with 70,000 or 80,000 people. One is in Huaibei, with 100,000 people, and the other is Jingying, as many as 150,000. Although they have all been converted into firearms armies and fought with guns and cannons, they are either defeated troops with no fighting spirit, or opium soldiers who have been peaceful for many years and have rotted to the roots.

Not only did the army have no advantage, but the Qing Dynasty also lost the advantage of cavalry and archery, and the cavalry of the Southern Barbarians, especially the white-winged iron cavalry, even the Mongols and Rakshasas were terrified. The Nanban Red Clothes are even more of a hundred battles, fighting every year, and now they are still fighting with the Rakshasa in Beihai and Tangnu Wulianghai.

Eight years later, the Nanban marshal known as the Demon Governor captured Xi'an, using only three infantry divisions and one cavalry division, with a total of less than 40,000 people. Yue Zhongqi exerted all his strength, defending the city, field battles, and cavalry battles, and really tried all his strength, but Xi'an was still lost within six days, and most of Shaanxi was lost within one month. Yue Zhongqi can bring out most of the remnants of the army, which is already superhuman.

Nanban really wants to restore the land, the red clothes from the west to the north, the blue clothes from Tanggu, several sides of the attack, at most in March, the Holy Road can set foot on the Guangning Gate again.

Of course, the Qing Dynasty also had a strong army, the army of Ningguta Yanguo Gongnian Qianyao, but ...... When it really came to the Northern Expedition of the Holy Dao Emperor, this Duke of Yan was afraid that he would rush to dig the ancestral grave of the Aixin Jueluo family in Shengjing.

Yun Yu said sadly: "The reason why the Holy Dao has not started for a long time, and he only took Xi'an before, I am afraid that I still feel that the time is not ripe, and I don't want the northerners to mess up the political situation of the southerners." But now that the prime minister has been set up and the plan is being built, I think the time should not be far away. ”

Qingfu said bitterly: "The hateful concubine and the Hanchen faction are still singing and dancing, and they feel that they can have peace for a hundred years." Whenever the new deal is mentioned, they suppress it in the name of restoring the government of the Guangxu puppet emperor, and when the southern barbarians advance northward, they are the culprits of the disaster! ”

Fu Min has even shed tears, "The emperor has been on the throne for ten years, but he still has rare authority, and now Kunning Palace is still occupied by that one, Si Chen, the Great Qing Gang often does not raise, this is the source of chaos!" ”

Ne Qin gritted his teeth and whispered: "Now that it is a matter of life and death, you should no longer allow that demon woman to control the country's affairs!" Behind her is the Holy Dao Emperor, afraid that the entire Qing Dynasty will be sent out by her! ”

Yunyu shook his head: "If it had been planned in the early years, I am afraid it would have been possible, but now...... Her power is not only all over the court, but even the Jin merchants are her wings, and it is difficult to shake it. But in the early years, it was she who protected the emperor, and only with the promise of the Holy Dao Emperor did the north and south have peace with each other, I couldn't figure out how she could have a person like her in the Qing Dynasty standing tall in the temple, alas, ......"

Qingfu also said helplessly: "Many clan relatives are already connected to her net worth, even if the red clothes are killed in the Forbidden City, there will still be people on her side." ”

…,

Yun Yu shook his head, as if he wanted to throw this demon out of his mind and find another way to save the country, but it was still difficult to get it.

In the silence, the family came to report that there was a certain person from the Ministry of Internal Affairs who asked to see him.

"This person ...... Isn't it her henchman Li Lianying who was installed in the Internal Affairs Office? Do you say ......"

Yun Yu frowned, vaguely aware.

In another secret hall, the official of the Ministry of Internal Affairs respectfully greeted Yun Yu, and then trembled and said his intentions.

Yoonyu was short of breath and his gaze changed, and it took a while to calm down.

"What is your master's purpose? She's not ...... with the Holy Dao Emperor."

The official said: "Lord Wang, my master has always been dedicated to the Qing Dynasty. ”

Yun Yu sneered: "Yes, it's all for the Qing Dynasty, I don't know whose Qing Dynasty it is." ”

The official didn't dare to say more, so Yun Yu waved his hand and said, "I have my own thoughts, so be it." ”

After the official retreated, Yun Yu paced back and forth in the room, his face suddenly excited, suddenly cold, and finally he slapped the table with one palm: "It's all a gamble, just bet on this!" ”

Returning to the previous secret hall, Yun Yu beckoned his relatives: "You go to Yue Zhongqi and explain to him like this......"

Listening and nodding, her face changed constantly, and finally she was frozen in a hideous state.
