I stayed in the Pu family mansion in Shangjing for a few days and figured out the national conditions of the Great Qing Kingdom.

Let's sum it up in two words: disappointment.

How powerful is Liaodong in people's mouths, the largest province in the world, it wants rice to have rice, wheat to have wheat, to have grassland, to have mountains, rivers and seas, infantry, cavalry, and navy, and it is born to be self-reliant.

In fact, they often stand on their own, even if they are self-reliant, they often go south to occupy the world, and many dynasties in history were established by them.

However, what I saw with my own eyes of the Qing Empire made me extremely disappointed - it was simply a miniature version of the Ming Dynasty, which did not have the glorious momentum of the founding of the country at all, but had the weak atmosphere of destroying the country.

An Zedong, the first emperor of the Qing Dynasty, was also a eunuch - nonsense, An Zedong was originally born in the inner court.

He is from the same Wenju background as me, but his qualifications are too old, and he is even higher than Li Yongfu. He once boasted in public that Li Yongfu, the head of the inner court of the Ming Dynasty, was still promoted by him.

An Zedong used to be just the overseer of Liaodong, but later the governor of Liaodong fought with him for power, he shot the governor of the province, and established himself as the governor and overseer. When the news reached Chang'an, it was Li Yongfu who suppressed the matter at that time.

When An Zedong was young, he was not only a hegemon in Liaodong, but also a hegemon in Liaodong, fighting Mongolia, Liaoxi, Hebei, and Goryeo all day long, and he didn't stop for a day.

When the news of Li Yongfu's younger brother Liu Xingchao's proclamation as emperor reached Liaodong, all the ministers in Liaodong were boiling. They all said to An Zedong that even his younger brother's younger brother became the emperor, can he, the eldest brother, be the eldest brother? As a result, An Zedong became the first emperor of the Qing Dynasty.

The Qing court was also divided into the inner court and the outer court, which was the same as the Ming dynasty.

The main position is from the inner court, and the deputy position is from the outer court, which are all learned from the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, so of course they are the same.

The head of the inner court is called An Qitian, and the prime minister is called An Ningzhi, both of whom are An Zedong's godsons - to be precise, they are the two most favored of his hundreds of godsons.

An Qitian, the governor of the Qing Dynasty, was in charge of the Ming Imperial Army's Liaodong Army—of course, now called the Qing Imperial Army. An Qitian was castrated into the Liaodong Governor's Mansion at the age of ten, and has been following An Zedong for more than 30 years, he is his confidant and his first godson, and An Zedong also treats him like his own son.

The prime minister of the Qing Dynasty was called An Ningzhi, who was formerly called Zhao Ningzhi, and later changed his name. Not only did he change his name, but he also changed the entire family. He grew up fatherless and motherless, growing up in a monk's temple and a nunnery. But this person is not simple, step by step from beggars, monks, private gang members, and government servants to the position of Shangjing county magistrate. He single-handedly founded a new clan - the Shangjing Zhao clan.

And now, he has become the prime minister of the Qing Dynasty, and his family has become the Shangjing An clan again. An's is a national surname! Honorable!

This person is not only powerful, but also has a reputation for filial piety.

Once, when he was young, he studied with a teacher. As a result, the next day, his teacher died. He said: "Teachers are like parents, and parents cannot be disobeyed. I'm going to support his whole family. So he raised his sister - and many younger brothers and sisters born to his sister. The people of Liaodong praised him as a filial piety.

Once, his father died – notice that people also say he has no father or mother. When I asked this question, all of them pointed at me and shouted, "Okay, you dare to betray the Qing Dynasty!" He kept filial piety for four years, one year longer than the Ming royal law, and cried like a tearful man every day. So the whole Liaodong said that he was a filial son.

And now, An Zedong is called the emperor, because "the monarch and the ministers, the father and the son", Zhao Ningzhi directly recognized the emperor as his father. Great filial piety is better than small filial piety, this is the real great filial piety! As a result, his fame grew.

Prime Minister An Ningzhi's foundation is not strong, because he has no brothers, only dozens of underage sons. He only had 100,000 of his own army of the government, but there were millions of other army troops who were nominally under his command, because he was the prime minister and the representative of the Shi clan.

Despite the glorious founding of the Qing Dynasty, there was still a dark cloud in the dazzling sunshine of the sky, that is: the emperor had no sons, only a few hundred godsons.

A country cannot be left without an owner for a day, so the reserve must be prepared in advance.

But the emperor is a eunuch, how can there be any eldest son to be the crown prince! As a result, the position of the crown prince of the Qing Empire is fiercely contested.

One faction recommended Governor An Qitian as the crown prince, and the other faction recommended Prime Minister An Ningzhi as the crown prince. The whole Qing Dynasty was divided into two factions, so that the father and son did not recognize each other, the husband and wife did not sleep in the same bed, and everyone was the Ming Dynasty, oh no, the future of the Qing Dynasty was heartbroken. At present, the upper bureaucrats and the imperial army of the empire are all in charge of the first department, while the nobles, lower-level bureaucrats, and government troops are in the prime minister's department.

At present, the faction of the chief manager obviously suppresses the faction of the prime minister, after all, the main position is greater than the deputy officer, and the chief manager is with the emperor all day long, and the prime minister only sees the prime minister for two hours in the morning.

And the Park family, as the largest family in Liaodong, is extremely embarrassed. There are a lot of them, tens of thousands of people from the Guang clan, and no less than hundreds of thousands including the side branch family. They have tens of millions of cattle, sheep and horses, and they have countless treasures. They speak with great importance, but they don't speak, so no one in Liaodong knows who they support.

A lot of people complain about this. Park Ji-keung, the head of the Park family, said: "Talk less and do more." Peace is a blessing, and we will always be loyal to Liaodong. ”

Park Qinghong said to me: "There is no knife in troubled times, it's a fart!" We want to support someone, but we support a. I am dignified in Liaodong Park, and there are no government soldiers, can you believe this? Look outside, there is not one of our families in the thousands of troops, how did this Tianzi Twelfth family become? Is there a shame in it? If there is no knife in troubled times, you are a pig! I think I'm still living in Jinling. At least there's your army to take care of, be safe. ”

A few days later, it happened to be the 60th birthday of the head of the Park family, Park Zhiqiang, and the entire Liaodong came to congratulate him on his birthday.

The prestige of the Park family is too great, and this time even the Qing Emperor An Zedong came.

That night was extremely lively, and a large number of torches and candles illuminated the Park family's house as if it were day. Those crystal lamps, table lamps, palace lamps, street lamps, and electric lamps are illuminated by torches, which look quite strange, and those who don't know think they are heirloom cultural relics.

An Zedong, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, sat in the main seat, he was about sixty or seventy years old, and he looked like a eunuch, how to say. He looked wilted, a little sleepy.

Park Qinghong sat next to Park Zhiqiang, the head of the Park family, and she also pulled me to sit next to her. I've always kept a low profile, but she pulled me over - she's so strong, not like a woman.

I was eating chicken legs in a low-key manner, and Park Qinghong suddenly said: "This warrior next to me is called Chen Ju, a descendant of the Chen family in Qicheng, Shandong, the first fierce general of the Han Dynasty, invincible in the world!" He took me all the way from the Central Plains, Shandong, and Hebei. ”

The ministers of the Qing Dynasty all bowed their hands and said: "Look up for a long time!" ”

Look up for a long time! I've only been called "Chen Ju" for less than a month, and I'm not long looking up to my new name, you guys have been looking up to me for a long time!

I choked on the chicken leg and coughed a few times.

An Qitian, the head of the Qing Dynasty, stood up. This person is less than 1.65 meters, and he looks like a palace maid at first glance. He said in a shrill voice: "I am the Heavenly Empire. I heard that you are a big man? The whole world is not the king's land, my Qing emperor ascended the throne, and the world is my Qing Dynasty. Can you be loyal to my Qing Empire? ”

I stuffed the chicken leg in my mouth and said, "I'm not a big man, what is the use of what I said." The big man wanted to fight Sichuan, so I ran away. So I'm not a big man. ”

An Qitian: "Very good. Sichuan attacked the puppet Han, I implore the emperor to reward Sichuan, after all, Sichuan is also my Qing Dynasty. Sichuan must have seen the usurpation of the Han Dynasty and was dissatisfied in his heart, so he beat him. ”

I can't understand the way of thinking of this first powerful minister of the Qing Dynasty. I was stunned for a moment and said, "No, this is ...... How do you ask me to explain it...... I'm here to take refuge. ”

An Qitian's voice aggravated: "You didn't even attack the Great Han, but instead came to my Daqing to take refuge?" What are you guilty of? ”

At this time, An Ningzhi, the prime minister of the Qing Dynasty opposite him, stood up. An Ningzhi is in his forties, with a square face and thick eyebrows, a full beard, and a height of at least 1.8 meters. He said, "Though it is ruined, it must not be abandoned." Even if the Han is barbaric, my Qing Dynasty is also morally saved, the so-called 'Huairou Yuanren'! Please Your Majesty place him to show the emperor's grace. ”

I said, "yes, yes." Wait a minute...... Why does this sound so awkward......"

An Zedong, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, raised his eyelids and asked me, "How many people have you brought to my Qing Dynasty?" ”

I said, "More than 10,000." ”

The Qing Emperor said, "Okay. I am the Heavenly Dynasty of the Qing Dynasty, and I will raise you. People come from afar, don't embarrass them. ”

The ministers all said: "The emperor's grace is great! Long live the emperor, long live, long live! ”

So the banquet continued, everyone drank a lot, various performances began one after another, and the atmosphere became enthusiastic.
