In Kunning Palace, there is also a person like Hongli, who is in a dilemma between ice and fire, and he can't spit out a "good" word.

"Prince Sui has great benevolence and righteousness, when the river was chaotic, he could have gone straight to the treasure, but for the sake of the righteousness of the people, the hearts of the Manchurian people, he actually let it. Prince Sui also has great ambitions, and understands that the government of the former emperor and Hongshi is not a mistake, but too urgent. Over the years...... He condensed our hearts, rebuilt the Beijing camp, rushed back and forth, and reconnected the almost broken backbone of the Qing Dynasty. ”

The cold words floated down from the upper seat, and the commander of the infantry army, the commander of the Nine Gates, Qingfu, was like a drum face, trembling by the word knocking.

"But ......"

Ru Xi aggravated his tone, and when he saw Qingfu wearing Hualing, he shook slightly, and his tone was also aggravated.

But Prince Sui still can't see the general trend clearly, and thinks that as long as the country is rich and strong, and the people are full of one heart, he can still share the world with the Nanban and sit and watch the situation of others. This is too wishful thinking, Nanban is not a country that can be defeated. Think about the Ming Dynasty back then, even if it was so weak, if it wasn't for rebellion, how could the Manchurians have a chance to enter the customs? How can a million people be governed by a million? ”

"In the Qing Dynasty, no one in the Manchu Dynasty has seriously pondered the situation of the Southern Barbarians, and when it comes to the Southern Barbarians, they either disdain or lose their hearts. For so many years, this palace has been looking at the current affairs of the Nanban, talking about the roots of the Nanban, and the princes of the court, I am afraid that they are not as well known as the women and Taoists of the palace. ”

"The bigger the country, the more mixed the forces, the Nanban broke the Taoism and etiquette, measured the world based on silver money, and at the same time greatly promoted the imperial examination, connected the provinces, and broke the noble, to this day has created the Lion Party and the Tiger Party of the imperial examination, the two parties competed for the court, and the emperor decided the prime minister by vote. Many people can't understand it, but in fact, it's just a daughter-in-law who is in charge, and the mother-in-law hides behind the scenes, so that all the capable concubines jump out and show their talents. This daughter-in-law is the desire of the people, and it is a good choice for everyone to do a good job. If it is messed up, it is difficult to reconcile everyone's disputes, and the mother-in-law does not have to take responsibility, just choose someone again. ”

Ru Xi rarely shares his political opinions with others seriously, and Qingfu has to listen carefully.

"Take a closer look at this Nanban. There are similarities and differences with the Ming Dynasty, but the same thing is that the biggest enemy of the Southern Barbarians is not outside, but inside. The difference is that what the Holy Dao Puppet Emperor has done for so many years is actually one thing, so that a country can fight without harming the national body, which is the so-called fighting without breaking. On the contrary, it can use external enemies to quell internal strife. ”

"So how should we be so self-contained? This has to look inside the Nanban, the Lion Party of the Nanban is absolutely unwilling to expand the territory and increase the people, they can't wait to go out of Jiangnan and Lingnan, and other places are colonies, which can be exploited wantonly. The Tiger Party of the Southern Barbarians, however, wanted to restore their so-called land of China and drive us back to our hometowns, so that the bureaucracy could grow stronger and trample the lion party of industry and commerce. ”

"Sandwiched between these two parties. The scholars swayed from side to side, each waving their flags and shouting for the two parties, and the army naturally hoped to fight. But the people want to be happy, he is the Emperor of the Holy Dao can no longer rely on his own will to decide this matter, he wants a country to fight without breaking it, he can't break it in the first place. ”

Ru Xi chattered about the Anglo-Chinese political knowledge summarized by the think tank headed by Wu Xiang, and even many of them were analyzed by Lao Song, the special envoy of the "Zhongliu" newspaper.

"At this glance, it is very clear, if I want to keep half of the north of the country, who else can I rely on? Only rely on the Lions of the Southern Barbarians! As long as the lion is worshipped enough, it will naturally drag the Tiger Party, and even those in the Southern Barbarian Kingdom who are clamoring for the restoration of the land, to press the momentum of the Northern Expedition. He is the Emperor of the Holy Dao. If you don't set off the momentum of wind and thunder, it will be difficult to raise swords. And if he really wants to stir up the storm again, the chess game of the Southern Barbarian State will be coarse and condensed, who knows what chaos will be fought? ”

Qingfu listened very admirably, but the fear in his heart still didn't disappear, what does this have to do with what Concubine Chun wants to do herself? ..., Ru Xi's face changed suddenly. The tone was also colder: "This way is difficult for the prince and the emperor to accept, they are anxious to make a mess in Xi'an, that is, it is difficult to eliminate the determination to kill the world with swords and guns." ”

Qingfu secretly shuddered again, didn't you instigate Prince Xue to do it?

"It's okay now, give Nanban a great opportunity to gather the hearts of the people in the country, and those who oppose the Northern Expedition are also powerless to do so under the hearts of this people, I am in the Qing Dynasty and the disaster is coming, Qingfu, what do you say?"

Ru Xi sneered and asked: "Could it be that you cut off the head of the palace, let the innocent emperor hold the authority, and make a life-and-death decision with the Nanban, this is your wish?" ”

Qingfu hurriedly said: "Niangniang joked, and the slave didn't dare to hear it." Niangniang has been working hard for the Qing Dynasty for decades, and no one in the world knows ......"

Ru Xi gritted his teeth and snorted: "Your fourteenth master doesn't know!" He hurriedly promoted Fu Min and Fu Qing as ministers of the interior, and took charge of the affairs of the Purple City Guard, and at this time he avoided the palace to see the emperor, I am afraid that he is discussing to deal with the palace! The next step is for you to reseal the palace gate, and then take me! ”

Ru Xi said like this in his mouth, and said secretly in his heart, Li Shi, Li Shi, you are really ruthless, through the assassination, you turned over the smoke and dust, and blinded the eyes of outsiders, so that Yu also thought that I had a lot of ability, and I was behind those chaotic forces. Now I am not only unwilling to be a scapegoat, but also fascinated by the illusion you have created, thinking that I have reached the sky with my hands and eyes, and has made up my mind to get rid of me.

There is no way, I can only fight with Yu, Li Shi, if I can win, this Qing Dynasty will fall into my hands, if you want to take it, it will not be so easy.

Qingfu was standing with his bow, and when he heard Ru Xi's words, he knelt down with a puff and kowtowed: "The slave doesn't know about it......"

Ru Xi pressed down on the miscellaneous thoughts and asked, "I just know that you are still important and loyal to the palace, so I use you." This palace asked you to do that just now, do you want to do it? ”

Beads of sweat on Qingfu's head were dripping down, and what Concubine Chun wanted him to do was almost the same as his third brother Long Keduo, the problem was that Long Keduo was helping Yongzheng to win the heir, but he was going to help the imperial concubine regent.

Ru Xi came to him to talk about this matter, Xi'an became chaotic, the crusade from all walks of life in the Southern Barbarians was raging, there was a trend of the Northern Expedition of the whole country, the Qing Dynasty was stormy, Ru Xi asked him to "clear the monarch's side, the right discipline", take down the prince and Fumin, and the party of Neqin, and use these people as scapegoats in exchange for the Southern Barbarians to stop fighting and rest the martial arts, and protect the Qing Dynasty.

"Minions...... The power of the slave is weak, I am afraid it is difficult to take on such a heavy responsibility, mother! ”

Qingfu struggled for a long time and squeezed out such a sentence. He has a heart, but he is powerless.

Qingfu is the party of Prince Sui, because of the shadow of the third brother Long Keduo, his status in the family of Prince Sui is not high. Although there was a rebellion in the Hexing Palace, and when Guangxu was restored, he stood on the side of Prince Sui, but he never won the full trust of Prince Sui. He is now the commander of the infantry army and the commander of the Nine Gates. It was much weaker than Long Keduo's position back then, and he was only in charge of the third battalion of the Manqi Infantry Army and the fifth battalion of the capital patrol, responsible for the defense of the nine gates of the capital, and was also subject to the control of the military department.

"If you can't do it, you have to do it, and you will seal the prince's mansion. Isn't it just a matter of your words? ”

Ru Xi said lightly, Qingfu almost vomited blood, Prince Sui's reputation in the government and the opposition is unparalleled, and he leads the post of prime minister and auxiliary minister, and all the ministers of military aircraft are still subject to his control, not to mention that the 150,000 garrisons in Fengtai, Xishan and Nandaying in the capital are all run by him. Not only that, but the emperor should also favor Prince Xun and rely on him as a small nine-gate admiral. Haven't grasped the name of righteousness yet, and dare to compete with such a giant?

Seeing Qingfu's embarrassment, Ru Xi said again: "You are also sincere." I didn't come down to coax the palace right away, or maybe, as long as you seal the nine gates of the capital. ..., Qingfu was still hesitating, and Ru Xi said coldly: "Don't forget, you have your share in the business of Boryeong Bank, Dajusheng and Kuixing!" If this palace falls, can you still stay out of it? The prince and the emperor are afraid that they will not be able to find more scapegoats! ”

Qingfu was almost paralyzed on the ground, and sure enough, he was dragged by this witch and used the Jin merchant channel of the Internal Affairs Office to do business with Nanban. In the past ten years, it has been impossible to wipe the shares.

Thinking around, Qingfu finally made up his mind, and asked boldly at first glance: "Niangniang, here in Zicheng, there is no need for slaves......

Ru Xi waved his hand lazily: "Isn't the master of Purple City the emperor?" Will the emperor still look at outsiders? ”

Alien? For the emperor, can you be closer to Concubine Chun than Prince Sui?

Qingfu's doubts that had just sprung up were violently scattered by some rumors in the palace deep in his memory, and he desperately suppressed the braid that was about to blow up in shock, and hurriedly retreated.

Out of Kunning Palace, the chief eunuch Li Lianying smiled slightly, and stuffed a eunuch to the side, called serving and liaison, but in fact, surveillance, Qingfu Wangyu's winter curtain, and secretly said Third brother, third brother, I finally embarked on your path, I hope that Concubine Chun can be more lenient than the first emperor, and will not cook the lackeys so urgently.

When Qingfu left Kunning Palace in a panic, Yu also left Renzhi with a resolute face and a hint of satisfaction.

"I listen to Uncle Fourteen, if you want to save the Qing Dynasty, you have to get rid of the demons!"

Hongli's resolute voice still echoed in his ears, and he felt that his plan was a sure thing, and it was smooth sailing.

Even if Na Ruxi holds a big power, she is only a mere concubine after all, stealing from Purple City, and her name is not right, whether it is the emperor, or her own faction, or even Zhang Tingyu and other Han ministers, they have been dissatisfied with this woman for a long time. As long as the emperor is explained, an edict can take her down, and letting Fu Min and Fu Qing stay in charge of the palace guards before is already an extra insurance, so be prepared.

After all, he was cautious, and he was still thinking about his arrangements when he left the palace gate, thinking about it, it seemed that he had missed the Nine Gate Admiral Qingfu, this person had a close relationship with Ru Xi, and he was not very credible. But thinking about it again, this person is not Long Keduo, and then Ru Xi is not his fourth brother, even if he has some hands and feet, the more than 100,000 troops of the three major battalions in the capital still have to listen to him, and he is only the commander of the nine gates, so he doesn't have to worry about it...... As long as the emperor is firm in his mind and has this great righteousness, who is afraid of it?

Nourishing the heart, Hongli turned around, and the previous decision had long since dissipated, replaced by extreme unease.

In the end, he couldn't hold back anymore and said loudly: "Wu Shulai!" Go to Kunning Palace for me to spread the word, I want to see Concubine Chun! ”

Although Ren Zhi was persuaded by Yu before, Hongli had no bottom in his heart after all, and then thought about it at this time, he really wanted to get rid of Ru Xi, not to mention the chaos between himself and her, so that he completely tore his face with the uncle of the south, and he relied on what Yu said, "All of us are united, we are united", can we really protect the Qing Dynasty?

Hongli changed his mind, it is a matter of the country, and it is clear to listen to it, put aside the children, listen to what Ru Xi said, and then decide, this is the heart of the emperor.

Kunning Palace, hearing Li Lianying's report that the emperor wanted to see him, Ru Xi smiled.

Huh, do you really think the emperor will be on your side? No, it is I Ruxi who knows the emperor best in the world, whether it is the holy way of Great Britain, or the former emperor Yongzheng, including today's Qianlong......

She covered her mouth and yawned lazily, and said to Li Lianying: "I'm tired today, let Long Live Lord go directly to the palace to sleep." (To be continued)
