Chapter 855: Broken Dreams of the Qing Palace: No Country Without Stability and Pillars

Chapter 855 The Dream of the Qing Palace: No Stability and Pillars of the Country

On the third day, Li Xi finally made a decision, Ru Xi must still stay, but he can't let her hold the power of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and when the time comes, he wants her to fall, and he can collapse in response. For this reason, it is necessary to fully tap the value of Hongli, Prince Sui, and even Yue Zhongqi's remnant army, and this set of plans is a bit big.

Just as he was about to convey the resolution to the relevant people, so that the General Office, the Government Hall, and the Hanlin Academy would work together to draw up the detailed rules of the plan, they suddenly heard a commotion outside the palace.

"Your Majesty! Tatar Qing admits defeat! ”

The attendant hurriedly rushed in, still holding a copy of "Zhongliu" in his hand, the corners of Li Xian's eyes jumped, and a bad feeling arose in his heart.

At a rough glance, Li Xian sneered and tore apart the plan he had worked so hard for two days.

Ru Xi ...... Empress Dowager Cichun...... Good intentions!

"Zhongliu" reported on the palace upheaval in Beijing a month ago, Qianlong was deposed, Prince Sui was detained, the empress dowager ascended the throne, and the new emperor was about to inherit the great treasure. There is nothing surprising about these incidents, but they just confirm the rumors among the people.

Shockingly, "Zhongliu" claimed to have learned some secrets through the channel of Li Lianying, the new chief eunuch of the Qianqing Palace. Why was Emperor Qianlong deposed? Because he proposed the "Anglo-Qing Peace Agreement Repair Bill", which wanted to add 32 articles, pay indemnity and cede land, and open up trade, so as to stop the British war.

Prince Sui resolutely opposed, and even did not hesitate to admonish the army, Concubine Chun had to intervene, but the dispute was difficult to reconcile, and Concubine Chun had no choice but to ascend the throne of the Queen Mother and take power in person. Emperor Qianlong abdicated due to illness, and in order to eliminate the anger of Great Britain, Prince Sui took the responsibility of the assassination case in Xi'an, and tied himself up to Great Britain to recuperate.

Concubine Chun, no, now she is the Empress Dowager Cichun, in order to protect the Qing Dynasty, although she is dissatisfied with the terms proposed by Emperor Qianlong, she does not dare to withdraw them all, and now she is waiting for the Emperor of the British Holy Dao to express her position. With just a nod of the Holy Dao, the north and the south can be spared the disaster of blood and fire, and at least 100,000 living beings will be saved, and millions of people will not have to be displaced.

This reversal of black and white. The illogical rhetoric is obviously that Ru Xi cleared himself through "Zhongliu", and at the same time announced the Manchu Qing's posture of peace to the world, forcing Li Xi to agree.

Li Xi was not only annoyed by Ru Xi's "forcing and killing", but also annoyed that "Zhongliu" was willing to act as a mouthpiece for Ru Xi, and he was going to be angry with Bai Xiaoshan, and then he thought that behind "Zhongliu" was the Chaoshan consortium. The Chaoshan consortium has a close relationship with the Jin merchants, and the two hooked up together through Ru Xi, which is almost the epitome of the colonization of the north by Yinghua capital.

The attendants didn't know such a big article, and when they saw that the emperor was displeased, they were very puzzled. The Manchus admit defeat and throw themselves to the ground. Isn't that great? Didn't the emperor himself say that now is not the time for the Northern Expedition.

Seeing that the attendants were puzzled, Li Shi was also suddenly excited. Ru Xi's move is also put to death and then reborn, she stabilized the court, but may not be able to stabilize the hearts of the people of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, so what will she do next? Strictly speaking, isn't it still the knife in his hand?

After figuring out the joint, Li Shi said with a smile: "I'm just worried about whether that witch can stabilize the Manchu Dynasty." ”

As Li Xi expected, chaos was frequent in Beijing at this time. Earlier, the Queen Mother ascended the throne, and the Sanlitun Rebellion had shaken people's hearts, and this issue of "Zhongliu" was published. It was even more of an uproar across the country.

"Thirty-two will never be accepted! After signing this contract, the Great Qing Dynasty will die! Even if you survive, the Taoist system will also be lost! ”

"The indemnity and land cession have swept away my face, and I still have to fully trade, let the fierce lion enter the country, where does the etiquette and benevolence exist!?"

"I'm waiting for Junlu. Mu Huangen, at the time of the national crisis, it is the day of my generation's loyalty! Everyone, it's time for us to act! ”…,

"Go to the book! Books on the bus! ”

"Go to the palace gate and knock! Ask the emperor to be in power, ask the prince to take command, and fight to the death with the Nanban! ”

"As long as everyone in the Qing Dynasty works together, even if there are millions of demons in the Southern Barbarians, they will disappear under this heroic righteousness!"

In a private school in Beijing, a group of teenage teenagers were clamoring with red faces, and the teachers still wanted to appease, but when they looked at the newspaper on the bookcase, they listed the 32 additional articles of the Anglo-Qing Peace Agreement, all of which were like swords cutting at their hearts, and their blood could not help boiling.

"That's it! Lead you to the teacher! ”

The masters took the students out of the door, and the plaque at the gate was written with the words "Shengyun Jingshe".

A fourteen or fifteen-year-old young scholar was coming to the private school, and someone in the queue greeted: "Xiaolan, go knock!" ”

The young man hurried into the queue, flicked his braids, and said firmly: "It should be so!" The country is in trouble, only we can save the day! ”

On March 4, the road where Ji Xiaolan was located was just a gurgling stream in the torrent, thousands of students from hundreds of private schools, and thousands of students from Guozijian gathered in front of the noon gate, and they rolled up countless people along the way, and there were 20,000 or 30,000 people shouting in front of the noon gate.

"The Queen Mother, not only is Beijing City in trouble, Orqi and Liu Tongxun, as well as the governors of various provinces, reported that students from all over the country have taken to the streets to denounce the thirty-two ...... listed in the newspaper."

In the side hall of the Qianqing Palace, Ru Xi listened to the reports of the ministers of military aircraft with a gloomy face, and released the news through "Zhongliu" to force peace with the Holy Dao, and she was also mentally prepared for public opinion. Unexpectedly, it was not the Manchus who came in the surging manner, not the local officials, but the scholars in the country, and they were all Han Chinese.

"The Qing Dynasty is not their world, and they really think they are the masters!?"

Ru Xi slapped the table angrily, if it were a different season, this scene would be regarded as "people's hearts are in their own hands", but at the moment, it is a stubborn rock blocking the road, which is extremely annoying.

"Why are they clamoring!? Who is behind it? It's all found out to the mourning family! Qingfu, why are you still stunned, don't you hurry up and get those people away! Strict orders were issued to the governors of the capital and various places, but there were people who gathered to make noise and discuss politics, and they were punished for rebellion! ”

Ru Xi shouted orders with a sharp voice, it was at a critical juncture, if she couldn't suppress this voice, Li Xi would never recognize her as the lord of the Qing Dynasty.

Qingfu hurriedly went to make arrangements, and here Cha Bina opened his mouth tremblingly under the encouragement of the eyes of a military machine: "Queen Mother, just blindly suppress for fear that it will not help, and the servants are afraid of suppressing these Han Confucian students, and the others will jump out again." ”

Ru Xi said coldly: "Who are they?" What are they worried about!? ”

She glanced at everyone and said hatefully: "It's not others who are most worried, but you, right?" Manchurians, banner people, and all Han important ministers, are you worried that if you sign these terms, you will lose your authority and great benefits? ”

Everyone coughed for a while, and said that although the newcomer Queen Mother was scheming, her methods were ruthless. But on the table, he is still a new tender, how can he speak so directly? not only revealed the Manchu and Han roots of everyone present, but also pointed to the hearts of the people.

Ru Xi ignored it and said straightforwardly: "This Qing Dynasty is a layer of skin. Everyone knows the filth covered underneath! It's full of people's benefits! Zhang Tingyu, don't feel uncomfortable to hear, if the Manchus want to rely on the Han people to govern the government, they must have helpers, and you people are the same as the Manchus, you are the pillars of our Qing Dynasty! Anyone can suffer if they suffer, but they can't suffer the pillars, and the pillars will fall. The building in the Qing Dynasty also collapsed. ”

"At present, the north-south trend is very clear, and the Nanban can no longer be defeated, but the Nanban has raised the lion of silver money, which is not the help of our Qing Dynasty, and we can continue to drag it on and watch the help of the Nanban situation." …,

"At present, there is a lot of money in the Qing Dynasty, and the relevant taxes are all due to the exchange of goods between the north and the south. The mourning family mentions these thirty-two articles. On the surface, it gave Nanban great benefits, but for the Qing Dynasty, it was not all harmful. Let's just talk about the gold and the provincial customs. There are also local large-scale industrial and commercial enterprises, which are all ways to gather money and make profits for a long time. ”

"Whose is this newborn profit? Nanban will earn a part, who should hold the rest? ”

Ru Xi said a few words, and the eyes of everyone present lit up. Everyone is an old man in national politics, how can he not understand these superficial truths, but Ru Xi said it herself, which means that she will recognize this route as the basic national policy in the future of the Qing Dynasty.

"Let the pillars of the country hold on tightly to these advantages! As long as the pillars are not chaotic, the Qing Dynasty will be as stable as Mount Tai! ”

Ru Xi finally pointed out the gist, these 32 articles are to make the Qing Dynasty fully turn to "southern barrassment". Not only will the previous industrial and commercial control be no longer maintained, but even industrial and commercial development should be encouraged. However, unlike the distribution of interests in the Southern Barbarians, after the Qing Dynasty turned around, the interests must also be tightly held in the hands of the Manchus and the Han bureaucrats attached to the Manchus, and the way is naturally to realize through power.

Seeing everyone's faces, they were relaxed. Ru Xi was slightly relieved, she did not hesitate to expose the foundation of the Qing Dynasty, and told everyone thoroughly, that is, to tie the Manchu and Han bureaucrats to the same boat, as long as these people can understand, tie the power of the court and the government with the interests of industry and commerce, and pursue profits together, not only the Qing Dynasty can continue to be stable, but their foundation can also be extended.

Then her face turned cold again: "What the mourning family just meant, you can talk to the court and the local area, and everyone knows it." Now that they understand this pattern, those stupid and stupid scholars will not allow them to continue to destroy the good situation in the future! Not only them, but also those forces who want to fish in troubled waters, they also make efforts to clean it up! ”

Everyone responded in unison, and Chabina's voice was especially loud.

Throughout the first half of March, the Manchu Qing Dynasty's opposition to the "32 Articles" was boiling over and had become a spark of fire, and the vast majority of scholars in the north were involved, and countless "loyal" people were also clamoring for it. The strikes and strikes of the workers and the petitions in the streets are very lively.

The local bureaucrats were also uneasy because of the "32 Articles", and they did not know where they were, let alone what twists and turns there would be in the center of power, and they did not dare to exert their efforts to suppress the surging tide of the people, but only reluctantly persuaded them. There are even many officials who have both light and dark sides, fueling this tide.

But first, Qingfu dealt a heavy blow in Beijing, detained thousands of people, revoked the fame of hundreds of students, and killed and injured hundreds of people. The infantry barracks are densely spread throughout the streets of the capital, and anyone who stops to talk with more than three people on the street must be inquired, and teahouses and schools are also plastered with notices saying "don't talk about state affairs."

Then the "Pillar Theory" was conveyed through various channels, and the Di Bao also whitewashed it as a national policy of "no stability can not lead to a country", and the local bureaucrats also woke up and took action one after another. However, in a few days, the combination of soft and hard measures suppressed this wave of condemnation.

On March 12, in the British Consulate General in Sanlitun, Chen Run sat opposite Qingfu again, with a slight smile on his face, which made Qingfu panic again. The Queen Mother took them with all their strength to come to this point, if the Holy Dao is still hard-hearted to do it, then it can only be blamed on God for having no eyes.

Chen Run was smiling on his face, but he was sighing in his heart. As the emperor expected, this Ru Xi was really a demon, straightened out the Manchu Qing's thinking of prolonging his breath, and really forced Yinghua to peace.

But...... That is, this time, the emperor used the Xi'an assassination case to stir up the general trend of the north and the south to such a point, and he has gained too much, and the anger in the emperor's letter, Chen Run attributed it to the emperor's frustration with his failure to grasp all the processes and every detail, which was essentially a kind of greed. But in the world, only the emperor is worthy of such greed, and then again, the emperor seems to be a little difficult to restrain himself.........

Qingfu's cough pulled back his wandering thoughts, Chen Run smiled apologetically, and said, "Your Majesty has allowed me to take full responsibility for the affairs of the north and the south, and the terms you have listed still need to be changed some......"

Qingfu almost collapsed in his chair, and the Holy Dao nodded! Daqing is safe! As for the details of the amendment clause, since the overall situation has been decided, there is nothing to worry about.

After respectfully listening to Chen Run's opinions on the various terms, Qingfu felt that something was missing, and hurriedly asked, "About the matter of the new emperor's year name......

Chen Run also sighed, as if he had just remembered this, took out a piece of paper and handed it to Qingfu: "Just do what you do." ”

Qingfu took a look, hey, why is there more than one?

Jiaqing, Daoguang, Xianfeng, Tongzhi, Xuantong, Kangde......

Is it for the Queen Mother to choose one of these era names?

Seeing Qingfu's doubts, Chen Run said leisurely: "Come next to each other, our majesty said, that's all, use one is one, when you use it, then ...... You know. ”

Qingfu closed his eyes in horror, he seemed to understand, and he didn't seem to understand. But then he breathed a sigh of relief, since there are so many, it means that the Holy Dao really hasn't destroyed the mind of the Qing Dynasty, this is a great joy, and he has to talk to the Queen Mother.

On March 15, the twentieth year of the Holy Dao, the new Emperor Hong ascended the throne, because he was nine years old, the Empress Dowager Cichun and Cining listened to the government, the new emperor's year name was Jiaqing, which meant that the Quartet congratulated the Qing Dynasty forever, and the folk joked that this is the north and the south are happy, the Holy Road and Cichun are happy, and everyone is happy if they can not fight, and the new emperor is auspicious.

Juyan Fort, stepping on the once bloodstained city wall, Li Shi drew his sword sonorously, and then stopped on the ground with a bang, splashing sparks.

"I'm not happy!"

Under the city wall was a red tide, which seemed to open endlessly, and it was tens of thousands of officers and soldiers gathered under the city to listen to the emperor's voice.

"I'm not happy ......"

Li Xian repeated loudly, his eyes spurting with anger...... )
