A guard carrying a basket walked to the door of the "Qingguo Mansion" and greeted the other two guards standing guard and asked them to open the door. The two guards also recognized him, knew that he had brought food, nodded as well, and turned around to open the small iron door.

The small iron door opened, and the rancid and pungent smell inside came to the face, which could almost make people retreat. The two guards standing guard pinched their noses and stood a few steps away. The guards who delivered the food carried the baskets, and the cats got into it.

The small cement room was pitch black, and something was squirming in the straw pile on the ground, accompanied by a cough and a sound of "Xi Xi Suo".

The food delivery guard sang loudly:

"Grandpa's meal—"

Then put the basket down, open the lid of the basket, take out two bowls and put them on the ground, and then put the two empty bowls on the floor back into the basket. A series of movements in his hand did not stop, and a few words were whispered quickly from his mouth:

"Your Majesty, how is your dragon body? The slave is a ...... sent by Prince Gong and Lord Mu."

There was a tightening cough in the straw pile, and it was obvious that the people in the straw wanted to say something but didn't say it.

But the guard who delivered the meal did not stop, and continued to whisper while cleaning up the bowls:

"Your Majesty, you have been in trouble for more than a year, and the Qing Dynasty has made that sinner Yuqi into a miasma, and now most of the country has been lost, and it looks like he is about to be beaten to Beijing by Nanming...... Now Prince Gong and Lord Mu, as well as several adults, are ready to mobilize the Guards King Qin, get Yuqi down, and respect the emperor to come out to preside over the plan and save the Qing Dynasty...... It's not good to kill you with your own hands, it's like this, it's humiliating you and making you depressed...... Prince Gong and Master Mu asked the servants to bring a message to the emperor, and let the emperor take good care of himself and eat well...... You'll be able to see the light of day again......"

The cough in the straw pile became more intense, accompanied by a hoarse voice that couldn't cry, and he wanted to say something, but even the crying and coughing were a blur, and he couldn't hear anything.

The guard who delivered the meal finished cleaning up and whispered:

"Take care of the emperor, the slave has retired ......"

As he spoke, he came out with a basket. Two other guards a few paces away came over and locked the door again.

……

Guangwu's coup d'état at the end of 35 killed six of the twelve iron hat kings of the Qing Dynasty, including the fourteen Gege families. The only ones left who did not move were the six kings of Dorokeqin, Doro Shuncheng, Prince Heshuoyi, Prince Heshuogong, Prince Heshuool, and Prince Heshuoqing. Among them, because the alcohol palace has a direct blood relationship with the current emperor (Guangwu's father Pu Yi is the son of the alcohol prince Zaifeng), the status is still relatively safe, and the remaining five are walking on thin ice all day long, like facing the abyss.

Among them, the most courageous is Prince Gong. Although this old man is also the same as the other five kings, he lives in seclusion all day long, just playing some antique calligraphy and painting, and cultivating himself, but he is quite unfair about what Guangwu has done and the situation of himself and the iron hat king. For the whole year of 1936, he was forbearing, looking for opportunities, looking for the right person. It was not until the end of 36, when the Qing Dynasty lost the entire south of the Yellow River, the danger of national extinction was imminent, and Guangwu's surveillance of several kings began to relax a little, that Prince Gong made a decisive attack and began to venture into contact.

He searched for candidates for a whole year, and eliminated several before and after. The other party either lacks guts, or the strength in his hands is too weak, or the relationship with Guangwu is too close. Until this last person, Prince Gong felt that it was okay.

This person is the current deputy commander of the Guards: Tong Jia-Muhu.

Although Guangwu made his two younger brothers the commanders of the Guards and the Eight Banners Army respectively, they were two little princes after all, both of whom were young sons and brothers, and they didn't know how to lead troops at all. They seldom even go to the troops, and they can't even call the names of the division commanders, brigade commanders, and regiment commanders below, let alone how to command and mobilize the troops. Now that they are the commanders, they can say nothing about these two troops, and it is entirely because their own brother is the emperor.

Therefore, the real power of these two forces is in the hands of their deputies.

But Guangwu is not a fool, and he also knows that his two younger brothers' ability to lead the army cannot be compared with those veterans. So he added all the deputy positions below. The Guards Army originally had one deputy commander, but now it has increased to two, and the Eight Banners Army has two deputy commanders, but now it has increased to four. Guangwu is to let these deputies intrigue with each other in order to neutralize their abilities and put his two younger brothers in a natural position.

Prince Gong's original ideal plan was to contact the generals of the Eight Banners Army, and in the event of a coup, let the Eight Banners Army enter Beijing, besiege the palace, and control the situation. Because the strength of the Eight Banners Division is much stronger than that of the Guards, and its combat effectiveness is also stronger, it can easily suppress the Guards Division. But Guangwu's precautions played a big role. Now there are four deputy commanders of the Eight Banners Army, and the power is very scattered. It is useless for Prince Gong to get one, and it is almost impossible to get four.

Therefore, Prince Gong retreated and locked the best candidate on one of the two deputy commanders of the Guards - Tong Jia-Muhu. Mu Hu alone has one-half control of the Guards Division. As long as he temporarily gets rid of another deputy commander, he can control the entire Guard.

Now, after nearly a month of testing and communication, Prince Gong and Deputy Commander Mu Hu have reached a preliminary mutual trust. Both of them couldn't bear to see the foundation of the Qing Dynasty destroyed like this, and they both had the interest of destroying Guangwu. Prince Gong has status, royal orthodoxy, and a calculating mind. Mu Hu has a fist on his side, that is, a gun. Thus, more than a year after the Guangwu coup, a truly threatening conspiracy group was formed at the top of the Qing Dynasty.

……

That night, Mu Hu's henchman adjutant disguised himself as a jade shop to deliver goods, and once again infiltrated Prince Gong's mansion. Although martial law is imposed now, it is for the common people. As long as the powerful people need it, anything can be delivered to the door. Although Mu Hu and Prince Gong have been in contact for more than a month, for the sake of safety, they have sent their own henchmen to contact each other. They themselves are heavyweights, and the movement is too big when they meet once, and no matter how careful they are, it is difficult not to leak the news.

In Prince Gong's study, under the dim incandescent light bulb, the adjutant disguised as a shop boy opened the baggage and placed the jade items inside one by one on the black velvet cushion. Prince Gong sat under the table lamp, holding a magnifying glass, and examined the warm Hetian white jade with a critical gaze.

The adjutant carefully placed the jade as he whispered like a mosquito:

"After that...... The meaning of the adult is to support the prince...... Adults think this is more practical...... The prince previously advocated the restoration of the first emperor, but the lord felt that this seemed to be too much...... The lord is still willing to support the prince to inherit the unification......"

Prince Gong played with an imitation white marble wall in his hand, then put it down, picked up another piece of imitation Song Qingyu Zhilian Boy, looked at the light with a magnifying glass, and a barely inaudible voice oozed from between his teeth:

"Thank you, my lord, thank you...... This king also understands his intentions, but it has not yet been "done", and we can't just think about what will happen "after...... We also have to think about the things in advance, how to successfully grasp the greater ...... We want to say that the 'above' today are traitors and sinners, and that is very good and very popular...... But if you want to win the hearts and minds of the people, you can't stand on your own...... We're going to have to put out the real deals...... Tell your family, this king is not a person who doesn't want to make big things...... The health of the first emperor, I sent someone to see it...... The big line is not far off...... Tell your family, it's still the same sentence, as long as he has this heart, it's a matter of time...... When that day comes, the king will remember his efforts......"

The adjutant whispered respectfully:

"Hey, the minion wrote down ......"

After a while, Prince Gong whispered again:

"Tell your lord, you have to contact the south as soon as possible about this matter. Such a big thing, if the south doesn't nod its head, even if we get it done, it's useless. This king is closely watched, and it is inconvenient to contact the outside world more, so this matter has to be let him hurry...... The south has already reached Tangshan, and it has not been a few days...... When we really arrived in the city of Beijing, we went to make peace again, and people were not interested...... Taking advantage of the fact that now, the south side is also interested in fewer deaths, and everyone may be able to talk about it......"

The adjutant nodded and whispered:

"Hey, the minion made a note of it...... Lord, my family is also preparing to make contact with the south...... I just want to ask the prince to have an idea, which one in the south is more appropriate? ”

Prince Gong pondered for a moment and asked:

"Who are you thinking about contacting? Let me hear it first. ”

"Huh," the adjutant whispered, "Back to the prince, my lord wants to ask the prince to consult, and ...... and ......"

He turned his head, looked around subconsciously, and then lowered his voice several times, approached Prince Gong, and whispered in a barely audible voice:

“…… and the daughter of the prince of Nasu...... Ten...... Is it appropriate to connect with the fourteen grids? The adults of my family consider that she is also our banner person, and she is her own family with the prince, and she is also in trouble for her family...... In addition, it is now quite powerful in the south, and there is also the People's Guard in hand, which is convenient to contact...... Her relationship with our Daqing is always deeper than that with Nan Ming, and she can't bear to watch Daqing die like this...... If she wants to help, she can do it in the south......"

Prince Gong nodded slightly and said:

"Yes, yes. It's the same as the king thinks...... Let him get in touch. In this way, you can talk to Fourteen...... As long as this thing is done, then Fourteen is the most promising woman in our family...... The iron hat of Prince Daqing and Shuosu was kept by the king for her. Tell her, don't think you're a woman, you can't wear ...... She is the only one left in the Su Wang family, who will she wear if she doesn't wear it? ”

The adjutant was a little surprised, but still nodded, and said "huh".

Then, he remembered again, and hurriedly took out a small cloth bag from the jade bag and opened it carefully.

This is a black jade cigarette holder.

Prince Gong frowned. He is a veteran collector and knows that cigarette holders are generally made of white jade, jadeite, agate and other materials, and generally not made of black jade.

The transparency of black jade is very low...... Could it be that there is a mystery in this?

Really. The adjutant carefully took out a small paper stick from the cigarette holder, unfolded it and handed it to him.

Prince Gong took it, put it under the lamp, and used a magnifying glass to study the dense small words on it.

Looking at it, his brow furrowed:

"What is this?"

"Back to the prince," replied the adjutant carefully, "this is ...... It is the speech of the 13th Empress of Nanming. My lord has a radio in his house, and he has people write it down word for word. ”

"What does he mean?"

The adjutant whispered:

"Lord Wang, what my lord means is that in her latest speech, the Empress Nanming repeatedly emphasized what the Manchus did to the Han people back then, which means that it seems that she will take revenge on us Manchus in the future...... My family's meaning must be taken into account......"

"How do you think about it?"

"That is...... There must be one condition for peace, that is, we must treat the flag people well and not engage in national revenge...... Otherwise, everything will be discussed, and we will go out and fight to the end. ”

"Nonsense!" Prince Gong said dissatisfiedly, "Now that people have hit our door, they are already in the city...... We are now an alliance under the city, and people are interested in talking to us, so we have to thank God...... Why are you still so ignorant? Tell your family, in the current situation, there is only one thing we want: please show mercy to the Ming subordinates, don't completely destroy the Qing Dynasty...... As long as the Qing Dynasty is not destroyed, even if there is only one Beijing city called 'Great Qing', it can be discussed! We can agree to any other conditions! …… People are winners, and we can't control how they treat the flag people now......"

The adjutant looked very embarrassed, and when he obviously came, Lord Mu emphasized this very much. He muttered:

"Lord Wang...... The meaning of my family, the article of national reconciliation, must be put forward in the form of a national policy...... My family said that we risk killing our heads to do this, half of which is to fight for lifelong wealth, and generally to fight for the safety and peace of our banner people...... If we end up like the Jews in Germany, then even if we are prosperous and rich for the rest of our lives, it won't be much fun......"

Prince Gong's eyes flashed with contempt, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, he smiled, and shook his head.

"I didn't expect that I would be in the Qing Dynasty to this day, and there are people like Master Mu. Alas...... Probably this is also the Qing Dynasty should not die. Let's just let him get in touch with the south side first. ”
