Chapter 419: Step by step
This time, Yiren went north to negotiate, and Xianfeng bet his treasure on Yi? body, and Xingzhen treats her as a confidant in Xianfeng's eyes, and Yi Wu is undecided to ask Concubine Yi, in fact, it is also Xianfeng to Yi? and Su Shun on a tight spell, because he wrote to Xingzhen several times, and repeatedly explained not to lose the dignity of the kingdom, and he also believed that Xingzhen would always remind the two important ministers what to do and how to do it. It's a pity that Xianfeng didn't expect that this pillow man next to him was not a master who kept to himself.
In fact, Xingzhen can also do it completely according to Xianfeng's intentions, and she doesn't come up with any ideas, just tell Xianfeng's bottom limit? And Su Shun, in this way, Xingzhen can stay out of the matter. But Xingzhen didn't want to do this, she wanted to further expand her influence, she wanted Yi? He Sushun both saw her ability, if a woman wants to take power, in addition to fighting political opponents, she must also show extraordinary wisdom and strength, just like she packed up and down Chuxiu Palace like an iron bucket.
Xingzhen's ascension was not achieved overnight, but step by step to today. First of all, she won Xianfeng's favor, and by slowly starting to accompany the driver, Xianfeng gradually couldn't leave her when dealing with political affairs, and at the same time she also learned how to deal with national affairs. Then gave birth to Xianfeng's only elder brother so far, and the mother was promoted to the concubine by virtue of her son, and married the queen and the imperial concubine. Consolidate the power of Chuxiu Palace, and let Chuxiu Palace follow it with all their hearts, these are Xingzhen's charms and means.
Now with the attack of Xu Jia's murder, Xingzhen continues to expand her power in the palace, because she has the Shang Fang sword that Xianfeng gave her. After the Xu Jia's saffron case broke out, Xingzhen immediately rushed to Xianfeng and the queen Niu Colu in Chengde to report the matter, Xianfeng and the queen were naturally furious, and Xianfeng ordered Xingzhen to investigate the matter thoroughly. Although the main culprit in the saffron case committed suicide in fear of crime, Xingzhen took this opportunity to eradicate many dissidents in the palace and cultivate her own wings at the same time. Even key departments such as the Tai Hospital have Xingzhen's people, and Huang Jing's resignation sentence from the Tai Hospital is one of them.
Xingzhen, who has no rivals in the palace except for the queen, now plans to take advantage of the victory to pursue. Previously, Su Shun used the silver treasury case to expand his influence and suppress Prince Gong and other forces in the court, and Xingzhen could do the same. But Xingzhen is a concubine in the palace, she can't come forward directly, she needs a spokesperson, no doubt Yi? is the best candidate.
But what's the point? The relationship with Xingzhen is always a relationship of mutual use, so Xingzhen wants to be in Yi? See him again before rushing to Dagukou.
Soon Yi? arrived, Xingzhen saw him in Chuxiu Palace. Only Yi in the house? and Xingzhen. Although it is separated by the screen, the curling sandalwood smoke color is indescribably ambiguous. It's a little cramped.
Yehnara. Xingzhen's background is not good, but she can stand out among the many concubines in the palace and get Xianfeng's favor. In addition to Xingzhen's means and resourcefulness, her appearance is also an extremely important factor. Maybe I saw the old black and white photos left by Cixi in later generations. The world will find Cixi ugly. It's like an old witch, but as far as the distortion of the black and white photos is concerned, those photos don't mean anything, not to mention that Cixi was already in her sixties at that time, and no matter how beautiful a woman is, she can't stop the ravages of the years, otherwise no one will say anything. One way or another. At this time, Xingzhen was only in her twenties, which was the best age for a woman. I've seen Xingzhen before, and her beauty is indeed outstanding. Coupled with her unique temperament, Yi? There is indeed some nostalgia in my heart.
She's your sister-in-law! Abundant? In the end, he reminded himself, secretly restrained his mind, and sat up.
"Can the sixth master go to Dagukou here?" Abundant? didn't think about how to speak, but Xingzhen spoke first, and there were no superfluous words, and went straight to the topic, which shows Xingzhen's ability and decisiveness.
Abundant? Oh, I came back to my senses slightly, when I was in the prelude to the palace before, Xianfeng also liked to ask how much to calculate, and at this time Xingzhen asked, Yi? There was a little unnaturalness in his heart, but he still replied: "There is also Master Su on the side to help, and there are always seven or eighty percent." ”
Faintly looking at the beautiful woman behind the screen, she took a sip of tea, followed by the charming and bright voice: "Su Shun is arrogant and arrogant, and you don't deal with the sixth master, isn't the sixth master afraid that he will spoil a big thing?" I'm not afraid of strong enemies, I'm only afraid of internal ghosts, I feel that after the sixth master arrives at Dagukou, the first priority is to send Su Shun back to the capital. ”
Xingzhen's words do not shy away from anything, to let Yi? There was some surprise, "If Su Shun is present, I am afraid that the sixth master will not be able to show his hands and feet, and he is afraid that his arrogant character will cause a big deal." Yiwu is the emperor's first concern at the moment, the sixth master has suffered from the filth of Su Shun, a minion, before it, isn't it time to pay a good tribute? The sixth master can rest assured, the emperor's side of the palace will stand on the sixth master's side to speak. ”
The tone is still so unfazed, but Yi? Hearing it, my heart was moved, Xingzhen was already about to do it in a few words? The battle with Su Shun in Dagukou was given, and Xingzhen also expressed her support for Yi and helped her say Xiang in front of the emperor. There are no worries.
Abundant? said in a proper manner: "Thank you for reminding the imperial sister-in-law, the younger brother must act according to this." ”
The beautiful woman behind the screen hummed softly and continued: "This time I negotiated with the Yiren, regardless of the cause of the matter, which is right or wrong, but Britain and France have made it clear this time that they are using the topic to play, and they must fulfill the matter of repairing the contract. ”
Abundant? Embarrassed, he said: "Yiren came with a narrow boat and a cannon, and the sea was like flying, and now I am fighting with the long-haired traitors in the Qing Dynasty, and it is difficult to have confidence to rely on." The conditions proposed by Yiren are not to mention the emperor, even the courtiers feel that they are too harsh, and they are afraid that this trip will not be easy to deal with. ”
The beautiful woman behind the screen sighed faintly and said, "This errand is indeed embarrassing for the sixth master." "Yi? But I didn't know that the beauty thought in her heart that Devil Six could stay and negotiate with Britain and France who occupied Beijing in history, and although they finally signed a treaty that lost power and humiliated the country, it also shows Devil Six's ability to negotiate in that situation.
followed the beauty and continued: "How to behave, a woman in this palace doesn't know much. "Hear this? Secretly slandered herself, this woman is really not simple, obviously asking herself to enter the palace to explain the errand, but she still thinks of herself as a woman.
"But this palace remembers that when I didn't enter the palace in the past, I dealt with some people in the market, and everyone in the world came for a good word, and Yiren was no exception, what opened a commercial port, what legalized the opium trade, these are all trying to get more benefits, to put it bluntly, it is to get more silver." Abundant? Listening quietly, I felt that Xingzhen's words were very reasonable.
"In the final analysis, the negotiation is to ask for the price and repay the money on the spot, this palace believes that no matter what conditions the Yi people propose, this must not be the bottom limit of the Yi people, the sixth master should go to the bottom of the Yi people to find out the best way, if you can't find out, you have to force out the idea, so you can be invincible." Abundant? I couldn't help but respond, I have been thinking about how to deal with it repeatedly these days, and I thought of some vague things, but now that Xingzhen is a little bit, those vague things have become clear.
"Another point, although the Yi people are strong in the sea, they are still afraid, I heard that the Yi people fought a big war with the Rakshasa country in the west, and it happened to be when the soldiers and horses were weak, but it is unlikely that a big war will start. As long as the sixth master can handle the severity, he is not afraid of the threat of Yiren. "Yi? It was also after listening to Rong Lu that he knew about the war between Britain and France and Russia, Rong Lu came back from Guangzhou, there were many people there, and it was not surprising to know about it, but how did Concubine Yi know about it? Abundant? I couldn't help but be a little curious.
"Finally, it's a matter of cooperation, although the Yiren have repeatedly said that they will remain neutral, don't they sell us guns the same? This palace wants to come here and go to the sixth master to discuss more cooperation with the Yi people, and if there is cooperation, the relationship can be eased, and if there is cooperation, there will be common interests. Today's palace looked at the newly repaired school next to the Xian'an Palace, the style of Lei's craftsmanship is really good, but the palace heard that the Yi people have a thing called cement, which is used to build houses, repair bridges and pave roads is also very reliable, if you can purchase more or attract Yi people to set up factories, we can sharpen, and the people have novelty to apply, why not benefit the country and the people? "Yi? I was surprised, I didn't expect Xingzhen to see so long-term, but I didn't know that Xingzhen just pointed out some of the skins of the Westernization movement in advance.
After the Second Opium War, after being severely taught a lesson by the foreign powers, the Manchu Qing Dynasty set off a wave of Westernization Movement, and the purchase of foreign goods and the introduction of Western factories became the mainstream, from the imperial court to the local governors, all of whom made special arrangements, because these Westernization services could bring economic benefits, and the imperial court tax collection that Xingzhen said was only one of them, and it was more to allow this ancient country to reconnect with world civilization.
"Cement is just one of the things, I heard that there are other things like fertilizers that can increase food production, like these things are better than opium, and no matter what is sold, the Yi people feel that as long as they can make money, he will sell them to you, so the sixth master does not have to be busy refusing the legalization of opium, but should think more about introducing other useful things, so that the Yi people can dispel the idea of continuing to sell opium in large quantities." Abundant? I sighed in my heart, and I couldn't help but feel a little angry, the sour feeling when Daoguang passed on the throne to Xianfeng once again resurfaced, why is God so unfair? Why did the fourth brother take all the good things? Why is he? There is no woman like Xingzhen who is as beautiful and knowledgeable as her?
Xingzhen didn't think much about anything, just said what she thought, she let Yi? Seeing her strength, you don't need to hide your clumsiness when you compete in the court, show your personality charm and means to win over more people's hearts, which is why Hitler in later history did not have any advantages, but also engaged in tavern riots, after all, no one would want to follow people who have no responsibility and no courage.
Today, Xingzhen's expression is very successful, she not only squeezed Su Shun aside with a few words, but also quietly let Yi? There is a hint in my heart that the relationship between the two has gradually changed from cooperation and alliance equality to the dominance of Xingzhen, which is also a very critical step.
