The meal was served, and then a jar of good wine was served. Deng Zixuan raised his wine glass and said with a smile: "Everyone, we can sit down and eat together, I thought of it, I'm afraid you can't think of it." My difference is that I think before I act, and the outcome is under my control, so you don't lose unjustly. In order to overthrow the Manchu court, I carefully prepared for 10 years. If it weren't for the foreigners who supported your façade, I would have set foot in Beijing when I rebelled. Come and toast everyone, and I will continue to judge your ancestors and ancestors on the topic before the meal. ”

Deng Zixuan drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, and Li Hongzhang accompanied him. Cixi only symbolically touched her lips and didn't drink at all, Yi 60 drank half a cup, and the others took a small sip. Deng Zixuan continued: "You eat slowly, I will say slowly, the wonderful is behind." From Yuan Shizu Nurhachi to Huang Taiji, from Emperor Shunzhi to Kangxi. Next, Yongzheng, Qianlong, Jiaqing, Daoguang, Xianfeng, Tongzhi to the current Guangxu. In fact, the person I admire the most is Huang Taiji. ”

"It can be said that Huang Taiji played a vital role in the rise of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. He was not only eloquent and strategic, but also effectively integrated his troops militarily and made all the people soldiers, the key is that he conquered the Eastern Mongols and made them his powerful arm. Huang Taiji used steady tactics to slowly make himself stronger, and began to fight against the Ming Dynasty in the northeast. Huang Taiji is good at learning, especially against the powerful Ming Dynasty with weakness, and his actions are the most correct. ”

Judging from Deng Zixuan, the novel point of view is the first time they have heard it, and in the past, they were all singing praises of virtue, how can Huang Taiji fight well. The defeat of Wheat City is never mentioned. Deng Zixuan changed his words and said: "Even if the emperor Taiji is majestic and strategic, but if he wants to annex the powerful Ming Dynasty, it is also wishful thinking, I can tell you responsibly that it was the emperor of the Ming Dynasty who buried his own country with his own hands." You all know that the Manchus were only 200,000 cavalry when they came out of the pass. If you want to eat the huge camel of the Ming Dynasty, it is simply impossible. It can be said that the rise of the Manchu Qing Dynasty encountered the best period in history. ”

"The king of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Chongzhen, can't say that he is not diligent, but after he ascended the throne, it was the darkest time of the Ming Dynasty, and it was already a mess. But it can't be said that the sky is powerless. After all, the Ming Dynasty was still a complete system, and the dead camel was bigger than the horse. But Chongzhen is pedantic, suspicious, and conceited. Because of pedantic, short-sightedness, and constant judgment. Because of his suspicion, he killed Yuan Chonghuan, who was feared by you, and because of his conceit, Li Zicheng rebelled. Become the king of the dead country. If you pretend to be Emperor Chongzhen, you can overcome your weaknesses and not make low-level mistakes that make your relatives hurt and your enemies are happy, and your Manchu Qing still has no success, in fact, the Ming Dynasty was cut off by Emperor Chongzhen himself. ”

Deng Zixuan changed his words and said: "Even if Chongzhen is finished." The Ming Dynasty fell. But you still haven't made it. It is Li Zicheng who is so happy and stubborn for his own use. He was carried away by the victory and did not take you seriously at all. If he captures Beijing, then wave his army into the northeast. You must know that Li Zicheng's army can also fight well, and one Wu Sangui can stop your pace, not to mention his army of millions of tigers and wolves. But Li Zicheng thinks that the world is already his, and for the sake of a woman, he generously gave Wu Sangui to you, ruining his dream of the Spring and Autumn Festival. ”

"One more point, if Chongzhen is not conceited. Listen to the opinions of others and retreat to Jiangnan. And use his strong appeal to hold Jiangnan, and you will face Li Zicheng's million-strong army. You should understand the truth that Bengbu fights and fishermen profit. Li Zichengruo occupies North China. General Bi regards you as a great danger, and only by defeating you can he launch an attack on Jiangnan, which is inevitable. If Emperor Chongzhen can choose correctly, today's history will have to be rewritten. ”

Deng Zixuan drank another glass of wine and said: "It can be said that the Manchu Qing Dynasty was laid down by the Han people, and Wu Sangui made great contributions. As the saying goes: it is easy to fight the country, and it is difficult to sit on the country, and the Kangxi Emperor did the best in this regard, which is his literary and military strategy, and resolutely inherited the essence of China, so to speak, the Manchu Dynasty can go through more than 200 years safely, which is the credit of Kangxi. But the destruction of the Manchu Dynasty today is also the evil result of his sowing. ”

Contradictory, everyone is confused, but no one dares to ask. Deng Zixuan's eyes were blazing and said: "I don't deny that Kangxi has made great contributions in expanding the territory and effectively ruling the country. But he is also the biggest lord of the lost land, the Sino-Russian Aihui treaty is simply child's play, in a word, the Baikal region south of the Green Mountains, it is unreasonable to say that if you give it away, you will give it away. You must know that there are vast deep forests and green grasslands. Not to mention the large mineral resources, especially Lake Baikal is the largest freshwater lake on Shijie, where there are countless fish species. To put it bluntly, of the more than 5 million territories lost, at least 3 million were discarded by Kangxi, how generous! ”

"Emperor Kangxi foolishly followed the Ming Dynasty's strategy of closing the country to the outside world, resulting in the severance of China's exchanges with Shijie. Sitting in the well and watching the sky, resting on his laurels, thinking that he is the boss of the world. When the foreigners knocked on the door of the country with the cannons of the strong ships, we knew how wonderful the time outside was, and when the foreign guns slaughtered the Manchurian and Mongolian iron horses, we knew that the central country was like this. The evil consequences planted by Kangxi were doomed to the return of the Manchu Qing Dynasty early, and the Manchus did not farm, work, or do business, and they abandoned their martial arts. The warriors who were powerful in the past did not want to forge ahead, and they degenerated into the children of the Eight Banners, and you Manchurian people collapsed in enjoyment for more than 200 years. ”

"Kangxi's stupidity also lies in stifling invention and creation, when the Ming Dynasty firearms were all abolished, the gunpowder invented by the Chinese ancestors instead shined in Western countries, Kangxi engaged in a policy of fooling the people, and made the imperial examination a strict barrier, and the pursuit of knowledge at the bottom was only a way to be promoted, which stifled the people's thirst for knowledge. Therefore, I say that the Manchu Dynasty has come to this day because of the hidden danger buried by Emperor Kangxi. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom rebelled, and the huge dynasty had no soldiers available, if it weren't for the heroic fighting of the Hunan army and the Huai army, you would have perished 20 years ago. Even if I don't rebel, there will be people who rebel, because you are exhausted. ”

Deng Zixuan paused, seeing everyone's reaction, many people opened their mouths, and the shocking effect came out. "Speaking of Yongzheng and Qianlong, there are outstanding places, but I said that it was the dividend that Kangxi gave them. Kangqian is prosperous, self-deception. Look at what Qianlong did? plays with women every day, and actually faints. There is a big corrupt official hiding under his nose, and he knows it but is indifferent, and he Shen is down and Jiaqing is full. Multi-grinding funny overhead. As for Daoguang, Xianfeng, and Tongzhi, it is impossible to mention it at all, the opium of the British came in and paralyzed our people. A large area of territory north of the Heilongjiang River, Sakhalin Island, and east of the Ussuri River was lost, and the Anglo-French troops entered the city of Beijing and burned the Old Summer Palace, which was a great shame. ”

Deng Zixuan's voice startled everyone, and everyone felt naked. Deng Zixuan turned to Cixi and said, "Queen Mother." You want to be Wu Zetian, listen to the government with the curtain, and give orders in the high hall. But you can't compare with Wu Zetian. Wu Zetian can be compared with the current Empress Victoria of the British Empire, because Wu Zetian created the most prosperous period of the Tang Dynasty, and what did you do? Do you know how to run a country? The Qing Dynasty actually reached the stage where women were in power, and the immortality of the Qing Dynasty was simply intolerable. ”

Cixi's face turned pale, and her hands began to tremble again. Deng Zixuan's voice became softer and said, "You can't be blamed for all this. It was the Manchu masters who were too cowardly and made your ambitions come true. I don't deny that you have the ability to harness power, but that is the condition that the imperial power provides for you. Although Xianfeng is incompetent, he sees you very accurately. If you talk enough, I'm afraid it will scare you enough. Now let me talk about where you have been. ”

Everyone couldn't help but be shocked when they heard this, and now this is what they want to hear the most. Deng Zixuan took a sip of tea and moistened his throat and continued: "In the future, in order to let the people remember and understand history, I want to make you a living teaching material." Because there will be no emperor in the land of China in the future. Therefore, I want to preserve your small court, so that future generations can see what a vivid feudal dynasty looks like. "From now on, you will live in the Forbidden City." When everyone heard this, their faces suddenly brightened.

Deng Zixuan continued: "Your activity area is in the Forbidden City. You can come and go freely. After a hundred years of Guangxu, you can continue to choose new people to take the throne. The prince Baylor also lives in Bauhinia City, and your royal palace is not your private property, so it is not protected, and the royal palace will be confiscated. The next generation of the princes and Belle Ye can continue to live in the Forbidden City if they get married and have children, but if their grandchildren get married and have children, they must leave Bauhinia City. There is only one purpose, which is to develop the ability to be self-reliant. In the future, the Forbidden City will be protected as a national cultural relic and the future government will undertake the maintenance and repair of the Forbidden City. But you have to bear the cost of your own living, that is, to support yourself. ”

Everyone was stupid when they heard this, and Yi 60 said worriedly: "May I ask Commander-in-Chief Deng, how can we support ourselves?" Deng Zixuan said with a smile: "In the future, the Forbidden City will be opened to the outside world, think about it, how many people dream of entering the Forbidden City to have a look." The income from the ticket alone is enough for you, and you can also make souvenirs and sell them. I'm going to send someone to help you, and for now the government is still providing funding to give you some time to transition. You should remember that in the future, the Han people, the Manchus, the Mongols, etc., regardless of whether they are high or low, will all be equal, and we are the Chinese nation, and we must live in harmony on this land! ”

Yi 60 stood up and said: "Commander-in-Chief Deng's words are deafening, we are grateful for your great kindness, we surrender and always feel at ease." Deng Zixuan said with a smile: "Sixth Prince, in the name of the new government, I order you to serve as the head of the Forbidden City and manage the Forbidden City well." "Thank you to the commander-in-chief for his kindness, and the guilty minister will do his best." "The eunuchs in the palace, they are all disabled, don't cut a eunuch, don't treat them badly, let them fend for themselves in the Forbidden City." "Commander-in-Chief Deng, I remember your words!"

Then Deng Zixuan proposed to visit the Forbidden City, and Yi 60 personally accompanied him, roughly turning the Forbidden City around. After seeing off Deng Zixuan and Li Hongzhang, Yi 60 hurriedly returned to Cixi's dormitory. The crowd has not yet left, and is gossiping. Seeing Yi 60 coming in, Cixi said: "This Commander-in-Chief Deng looks gentle and charitable, but he is very strong in his bones, this person is too terrible. Yi 60 said: "It's not terrible or incomparable, he is simply a god." It not only saw us through, but also the ancestors and ancestors were seen through by him, and we lost so much that we were convinced. Everyone nodded in agreement.

Yi 60 continued: "I didn't expect our ending to be like this, I'm afraid I can't think of it even if I rack my brains." It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a man of God. Now that I'm the Grand Steward, I'm going to do a good job. From tomorrow onwards I will appoint the stewards, and I will also put the money in your hands out and manage it in a unified manner, and every silver dollar we spend will be recorded in the accounts from now on. If anyone is not happy, they can voluntarily move out of the Forbidden City. In the next step, we must pay close attention to cleaning the Forbidden City and welcome the people to visit??????。 Yi 60 quickly stepped into character and began to call the shots.

"Haha!" Li Hongzhang laughed daxiao. That night, he and Deng Zixuan drank freely, and they were so excited that they couldn't control themselves. A few aunts and wives outside were a little hairy, and they didn't know what the master was doing. (To be continued......)
