Outside the study, Zhao Laoqi looked anxious, and asked Fu Luanxiang: "Dare to ask Secretary Fu, why hasn't the emperor summoned him, the lower officials really have important things to report, please be accommodating." ”

Fu Luanxiang's chest was sour and bitter, and he ignored Zhao Laoqi's words, the emperor actually brought two fox spirits into the inner room, and an hour passed, and he didn't have to guess what they were doing inside.

After Zhao Laoqi asked again and again, Fu Luanxiang replied angrily: "The emperor is inside, if you have the courage, you can go in." ”

Zhao Laoqi's expression changed slightly, he really didn't have the guts.

Recalling what happened recently, Zhao Laoqi dispelled the idea of urging again, recently the emperor has been mixing sand with the intelligence bureau, and the small intelligence bureau has established five departments, and his power and prestige have been greatly weakened, especially the intelligence department that manages foreign countries has a tendency to separate out, which makes his heart go up and down, lying in bed at night to summarize the gains and losses, whether they have inadvertently offended someone, they are slandering the emperor.

Fu Luanxiang saw that Zhao Laoqi was staying in place, snorted, turned around and entered the upper study, turned around and added: "You are waiting outside, the emperor is free and will summon you." ”

Zhao Laoqi hurriedly bowed down and thanked: "Thank you, Secretary Fu." ”

"Your Majesty, it's not too early, it's time for us to leave!" Luo Meiwei walked out of bed naked, picked up the clothes one by one, remembered the nondescript appearance of these clothes, and walked to the wardrobe to put on the original clothes.

Li Yunzhong admired Luo Meiwei's plump body, looked at the sleeping Zheng Yan'er, covered her with a quilt distressedly, and whispered: "You go back first, and tomorrow I will send Yan'er back to the post house in person." ”

Luo Meiwei was envious. After dressing up, he immediately coquettishly said: "The emperor is eccentric." The concubine also wanted to spend the night with the emperor. ”

Li Yunzhong got up carefully, hugged Luo Meiwei and said with a smile: "Then tomorrow I will take you to visit Nanjing City." How about it as compensation? ”

Luo Meiwei said excitedly: "With the emperor by your side, you can do anything." ”

After Li Yunzhong put on the costume, the two looked at Zheng Yan'er, who was still sleeping, and came outside together.

Luo Meiwei caught a glimpse of Fu Luanxiang with a hostile look, her eyes dodged, and she said to Li Yunzhong: "Retire as a concubine!" ”

Outside the study, Zhao Laoqi noticed Luo Meiwei, who still had spring on her face, and her heart moved slightly, secretly remembering her appearance. Please the future princess.

After reading the information sent by Zhao Laoqi, Li Yunzhong was really shocked that the Tianjing Incident finally broke out.

"It's not easy for you to find out so much in a month, so I'll do you a job."

Zhao Laoqi flattered: "These are all the emperor's leaders, and Weichen doesn't dare to take credit." ”

Li Yunzhong put down the information in his hand and asked Zhao Laoqi: "It said that Yang Xiuqing's remaining more than 100,000 people entered Guizhou, what is going on?" Didn't Hong Xiuquan send someone to solicit him? ”

Zhao Laoqi secretly congratulated himself on establishing contact with Ji Wenyuan, and reported: "This is Ji Wenyuan's idea. He wanted to dedicate Guizhou to the emperor, but he was worried that there were still people in the army who had hopes for the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, so he did not act publicly. ”

Li Yunzhong nodded and praised: "Ji Wenyuan's concerns are right. The intelligence only said that Wei Changhui was killing in Chongqing, but Hong Xiuquan was very scheming, and Wei Changhui acted perversely. Unpopular, I'm afraid it has already been awarded. ”

Zhao Laoqi disagreed. flattered: "The emperor is wise, Wei Changhui is out of ground." A life-and-death dilemma. ”

Li Yunzhong immediately saw through Zhao Laoqi's thoughts, shook his head slightly, and didn't take him seriously, and asked, "I ordered you to investigate the matter of worshipping God in the army, how did you do?" ”

In the past, Zhao Laoqi had ideas about the emperor's clean-up of the worship of God, and there was really a God in his mind, he met the emperor when he was in the most suffering, so that he got a reputation of glory and wealth, and was also named a first-class baron, and he was glorified of his ancestors, but after receiving the news of the Tianjing incident, the God in his mind was beaten and shattered, for the sake of power, the king of heaven killed the heavenly father, and the heavenly father killed the heavenly brother, which made him laugh at his persistence.

"Your Majesty, the First Army, the Second Army, the Eighth Army, and the Ninth Army all have God-worshipping activities, and Chen Chengying, Lin Shaozhang, Ling Shiba, and others often gather to discuss God-worshipping affairs."

Li Yunzhong thought about it silently, the First Army was his starting unit, and in order to gather people's hearts, he spared no effort to propagate the idea of worshipping God, but he did not expect that it would leave sequelae, in case Hong Xiuquan was whimsical and interfered in the internal affairs of the Han Dynasty, would his refusal affect the morale of the army.

Zhao Laoqi added: "The Eighth Army and the Ninth Army worship God Religion is the most blatant, and the customs brought from Sichuan remain unchanged, often chanting the names of Hong Xiuquan and Yang Xiuqing and praying. ”

Li Yunzhong pondered: "You say, if I order a ban on worshipping God, who will cause chaos?" ”

Zhao Laoqi hesitated, this can't be answered casually, no matter how you say it, it will offend people, and he said: "This ...... If the emperor orders to ban the worship of God at this time, it will damage the prestige of the emperor, and if it evolves into a cult like the White Lotus Sect, the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

Li Yunzhong got up, took out a Bible from the bookshelf, and said with a smile: "The bell must be tied to the bell, it is really not appropriate to do it at this time, but it is also a merit to let those who believe in God know the real God, I ordered the Ministry of Industry to publish the Bible in the army, you must closely monitor the movement of the army, if there is any misintention, report it quickly, and those below the regiment commander will be dealt with as appropriate." ”

Zhao Laoqi hurriedly received the order, and the bitterness in his heart was even worse, Wang Lei, the head of the Military Investigation Bureau, did not listen to him at all, and reported to the emperor every time, he could only convey the emperor's order to Wang Lei.

Li Yunzhong picked up the information of the Tianjing incident again and looked at it, and said with a smile: "Shi Dakai escaped from Tianjing alone, but unfortunately, the Yiwang Mansion may be slaughtered, Shi Dakai is two years younger than me, and his family is ruined...... You send someone to contact Shi Dakai and pay more attention to his movements, with my prediction, I'm afraid Hong Xiuquan won't be able to tolerate him, and it is a matter of time before he leaves, whether he goes north to Hanzhong or south to Yunnan, it will be good for us Han. ”

Zhao Laoqi was awe-inspiring and replied: "Our army has the most spies in the Yiwang Palace, and Zhu Yidian, a member of the Heaven and Earth Society, has already been ranked as a supervisor of the army, and can participate in the military meeting held by Shi Dakai. ”

Li Yunzhong nodded with satisfaction and let go of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

Zhao Laoqi took out a book from his cuff and presented it with both hands: "The emperor ordered Weichen to pay attention to Japanese affairs, and Weichen has collected a lot of information. ”

"I'm a little tired, just talk about it."

Zhao Laoqi handed over the fold to Fu Luanxiang and recounted it: "According to Wechen's inquiry, Britain and the United States did collude with the Shogunate faction, and the Choshu Domain had a disagreement with the Tokugawa Shogunate, and the Daimyo of the Choshu Domain and the Satsuma Domain were looking for allies everywhere. ”

Li Yunzhong shook his head and sneered: "The Tokugawa shogunate is a problem for raising tigers, knowing that the movement of the 'respecting king and foreign' of the province is supported by the Choshu Domain and the Satsuma Domain, and still allowing them to develop and grow, begging them to contain the foreigners, it is really a fool's dream, I am afraid that it will not be long before this group of daimyo will openly rebel." ”

Zhao Laoqi pondered and said: "Weichen found that Tokugawa Tokugawa Keiki colluded with the French, and it seems that he intends to take out loans to France and implement foreign affairs. ”

Li Yunzhong thought for a moment and ordered: "The Han Dynasty does not have the energy to take care of Japan at present, you just need to expand China's influence in the Japanese shogunate and wait until the Northern Expedition is over." ”

Zhao Laoqi secretly wrote it down and replied: "There are many people in the Fallen Curtain Sect who are hostile to the Han Kingdom, they are arrogant, and they actually think that the way out for Japan is to defeat China, for these people, do you want to dispose of them?" ”

Thinking of these militarists, Li Yunzhong sneered: "These people can't be killed, or let them contain the shogunate and fight to defeat both, the longer the time shouts at me, the more beneficial it will be, the Japanese bully the weak and afraid of the hard, only by beating them a few times will they be honest, the main task of the intelligence bureau in Japan is to bewitch the Japanese people to oppose the foreigners, which is in line with the trend of respecting the king." ”

Zhao Laoqi said depressedly: "Weichen understands that now the profits of selling opium in Japan are far less than before, and the Japanese upper echelons began to ban opium, especially the shogunate elders carried out reforms, often cracking down on opium trafficking merchants, not only extracting heavy taxes, but also restricting sales, so if this continues, I am afraid that the opium business will not be able to sustain." ”

Are the Japanese really so distracted from opium? Li Yunzhong asked: "How much opium is left in our country?" ”

Zhao Laoqi thought for a while and said: "China's opium is mainly confiscated from the storage of foreign companies in Shanghai and Guangzhou, and now there are more than 2,000 boxes, all of which are placed in a warehouse in the Shanghai Police Department, and the profits of foreigners selling opium have plummeted. ”

Li Yunzhong laughed and said in a sly tone: "Opium can both anesthetize and relieve pain, and your intelligence bureau wants to sell opium in a different way, such as opening a hospital, and replacing anesthetics and painkillers with opium for patients to smoke, and you can also change the packaging and change the name of the positive point." ”

Zhao Laoqi said: "Weichen remember. ”

Li Yunzhong relaxed and yawned: "It's okay, you can go back." ”

Zhao Laoqi bowed and said, "Weichen said goodbye." ”

……

"Your Majesty, hurry up! The concubine's clothes are all dressed. Zheng Yan'er saw that Li Yunzhong was still lying on the bed, and couldn't wait to shake Li Yunzhong's arm.

Li Yunzhong surrendered and complained: "My little aunt, you chattered all night yesterday, why are you still so energetic in the morning. ”

Last night, knowing that Li Yunzhong would accompany them to play for a day, Zheng Yan'er was a little overexcited, pestering Li Yunzhong to ask this and that, and then talking about where she lived, and asking Nanjing if there was anything to play, until she stopped talking in the second half of the night, she fell asleep all of a sudden, and Li Yunzhong, who had insomnia, wanted to cry without tears.
