In the evening, when Emperor Xianfeng's eldest brother's full moon banquet was halfway through, Prince Gong's biological mother, Emperor Jing, was unwell. He first asked Xianfeng for resignation and sent Emperor Jing's concubine back to Shoukang Palace. Shoukang Palace of the Forbidden City, the hall sits in the north and faces south, the front corridor, the bright room, the second room each ann the three crosses the Liuling flower fan door, the tip is the three crosses the Liuling flower fan sill window, the back eaves are bright and the front eaves are bright. In the palace, the Qianlong Emperor's imperial book Cishou Ningxi plaque is hung, and the east and west tips are opened up as a warm pavilion.

Back to the East Warm Pavilion, here is arranged into a Buddha hall, the inside is quiet and elegant, the incense is swirling, the concubine of the Emperor Jing kneels in front of the Guanyin Buddha statue, the prayer beads in her hand tumble and roll, the mouth does not stop chanting the Guanyin Heart Sutra, a pair of kind eyes are closed.

Abundant? Seeing this, he frowned slightly and said, "Huang Eniang, you are unwell, so you should rest early." ”

Emperor Jing's concubine didn't look back, but said softly: "The emperor finally got an elder brother, and your mother should still ask for some blessings for this child." Now that the long-haired thieves are in turmoil, in the midst of the storm, all you can do is ask for some blessings for the big guy, and the others can't help anything. It's you, you should also help the emperor well. ”

Abundant? Wen Yan said in a low voice: "The emperor is the emperor, and I am just his minion." ”

Concubine Jing turned her head at this time, looked at him and said slightly, "What do you say?" As the saying goes, fight tiger brothers, go into battle father and son soldiers, if you two brothers can really work together, what can Yi people and long hairy people still set off storms? You have to remember, help the emperor take care of the country left by the emperor, and the emperor can also be blind under the nine springs. ”

Abundant? I didn't dare to disobey, I hummed softly, and said neither soft nor hard: "The emperor's mother can rest assured, the errand assigned by the emperor is handled seriously by the son." ”

Concubine Jinghuang sighed softly, her son had a furrow in his chest, so he could consciously not be under Xianfeng. Back then, the four and six competed for the reserve, but Daoguang chose the fourth Xianfeng, who had lame legs and was not as talented as the sixth, so many years? Still a little lingering. He was in a haughty mood, and when Xianfeng enthroned him, he deliberately gave him the word "Gong" to stimulate him from time to time, reminding him that he was just a Prince Gong and a servant of the emperor.

Arrogant? How do you swallow this breath? For a long time, although Xianfeng gave him a lot of important tasks, he just did it seriously. Not seeking merit but seeking no fault, it is far less than Prince Yi Zaiyuan, Prince Zheng Duanhua and Su Shun and others to obtain the Sacred Heart.

At the same time? also knew that Xianfeng was still very taboo about his contention for the reserve back then, so he simply clamped his tail and behaved, and if he could only say one sentence, he would never say more about the second sentence. If you come and go, you will be even more unpopular.

When Emperor Jing's concubine saw him like this, she sighed and ordered him to go back to the banquet. Abundant? After a few more words, he turned and left.

Out of Shoukang Palace. Walk through Cining Palace, walk to the Qianqiu Pavilion in the Imperial Garden, Yi? saw that in the Qianqiu Pavilion, a palace beauty was sitting in the pavilion, followed by a palace maid and a little eunuch. The palace beauty looked at him and smiled shallowly, as if a faint cloud was blowing. It's heart-wrenching. Abundant? recognized her, but it wasn't Yehenara who was in the limelight at the full moon banquet of the right big brother. Who is Xingzhen?

Abundant? didn't intend to avoid her, so he walked up calmly and asked, "The imperial sister-in-law is so interested." Is it night here? Today is the full moon banquet for the royal sister-in-law's children, why is the imperial sister-in-law here alone? "Yi? I was also very curious about this woman, I heard that when this woman first entered the palace, she was not treated by Xianfeng, but she didn't expect to use the means later, and she got up step by step. When His Majesty saw Xianfeng, he also saw her a few times, and then more often saw her at his mother's place.

As the number of times I see her increases, Yi? found that this woman talks extraordinary, sees things clearly, and has insight into people's hearts. Several times my mother taught herself, but she was politely resolved, and she also relieved herself a few times, and she also accepted her affection.

Xingzhen smiled slightly, and ordered An Dehai to come out of the pavilion and wait outside, looking at Yi? said: "It turns out that the sixth master is also a person who has nowhere to go, so he met with me, a very boring person. Although Jaechun is from the main palace, his background in the main palace is not as noble as others, and he has always made wedding dresses for others. ”

Abundant? was stunned for a moment, it seemed that this woman was worried about the eldest brother being taken care of by the queen, and said with a faint smile: "The words of the imperial sister-in-law are bad, the imperial sister-in-law has won the sacred heart, and she has often accompanied her before, and then gave birth to the elder brother, and now she is the second highest position in the palace, how can she say that she is making wedding dresses for others?" ”

Xingzhen sighed and said: "It turns out that the sixth master thinks like this, so why can't the sixth master's words and deeds be the same?" The sixth master is cautious all day long, is it because of prudence? Or do you have the fear of making wedding dresses for others? ”

Abundant? Slightly startled, this woman was so powerful that she turned the conversation to herself in a few words, and the words were vague, but she definitely understood it. At that moment, he coughed and said: "The imperial sister-in-law doesn't understand what the courtiers mean, isn't it right for the courtiers to do their duty?" ”

Xingzhen stroked her hair with her slender hand, smiled charmingly, and said: "It is natural that there is nothing wrong with doing your duty well, but it is not beneficial to the future of the sixth master." ”

Abundant? Stunned, he took a step forward and sneered slightly: "Future? No matter how well this king does, he is still a prince, is there still a future to speak of? ”

Xingzhen looked at him, smiled and said: "Since the founding of the Qing Dynasty, there have been countless princes, and many princes have indeed been just princes all their lives, but Sixth Master, you seem to have forgotten the regent of the Shunzhi Dynasty who called for wind and rain." ”

Abundant? Hearing this, his face changed greatly, and he said coldly in a low voice: "Is the imperial sister-in-law looking for fun with her brother?" ”

Xingzhen shook her head and said, "This palace never does jokes. The founding of the Qing Dynasty to this day, is facing a great crisis, long hair rebellion, persecution from outside, the slightest carelessness is the disaster of the destruction of the country and the extinction of the species. But the opportunity is also here, the chaos is in the past, the chaos is set right, and the great merit must be made, maybe the sixth master will far surpass the regent in the future. ”

Abundant? His heart was beating suddenly, but he didn't know what Xingzhen's idea was, so he said: "The imperial sister-in-law said cautiously, the regent only did it when the master was young, and now that the emperor is in his prime, how can there be a regent?" ”

Xingzhen nodded and said: "I see, a woman and a child in this palace, I don't know the reason, the sixth master should be a crazy talk after drinking in this palace." ”

Abundant? Snorted. He didn't speak anymore, turned around and was about to leave, but he heard Xingzhen mutter: "It seems that the last wish of the first emperor, the humiliation of Jiangning back then, is something that no one can fulfill." ”

Listen to this? The body shook, stopped, and said without looking back: "Imperial sister-in-law, I would like to advise you, the concubine is not allowed to interfere in politics." ”

Xingzhen Zhengse said: "The rise and fall of the world, the husband is responsible, and the greater the ability." The greater the responsibility, the palace can do what it can for the Qing Dynasty and the emperor, and naturally have a clear conscience, but the sixth master, you are a seven-foot man, and you are too cautious. It's not as good as a woman and a child in this palace! ”

Abundant? Angrily, he turned around and shouted: "Imperial sister-in-law, you are enough, don't think that the fourth brother will spoil you." You can do whatever you want. ”

Xingzhen's face remained unchanged. seemed to be not afraid at all, looked at him and said playfully: "I, like the sixth master, am also just a servant of the emperor, but it is a pity that my slave can get the holy favor, but the sixth master, the slave, is difficult to win the emperor's heart, and make a judgment from a high level." Needless to say. ”

Abundant? Annoyed and angry, he stepped forward and grabbed Xingzhen's jade hand and shouted: "If you talk nonsense again, I will hand you over to the emperor's office." ”

Xingzhen was not afraid, just looked at the big hand that grabbed her. With an ambiguous smile, he said, "What is the discussion?" Sixth Master, are you disrespectful to me, the imperial sister-in-law? ”

Abundant? Hearing this, as if touching a charcoal fire, he hurriedly let go of his hand and took a few steps back, but he glared at Xingzhen with self-hatred, but Xingzhen still looked at him with a smile, his eyes were full of ridicule and disdain.

Abundant? Seeing that she was as beautiful as jade, and her delicate body was so attractive, a burst of thought suddenly occurred in his mind. Abundant? Frightened in his heart, he hurriedly gathered his mind, his face changed red and white for a while, and then said lightly: "What does the imperial sister-in-law want to do with her brother?" ”

Xingzhen was happy in her heart, knowing Yi? I was moved, as long as she was out of the horse, there was no fish that was not hooked, and she said lightly at the moment: "The idea of this palace is very simple, that is, I want the sixth master to enter the court, flat long hair, rejuvenate the society, and refuse foreigners." ”

Abundant? Sneered: "How easy is it?" ”

Xingzhen was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "The ambition and talent in the sixth master's chest are far better than those of Zaiyuan, Duanhua, and Sushun. Duanhua and Zaiyuan are just courtiers, Su Shun is ruthless, there are many people who have offended, more than enough to keep it, and not enough to enterprising. Only you, the sixth master, have not been able to show their talents. If the sixth master can be the head of a hundred officials, and he has the trust of the emperor, he can set up foreign affairs, open up financial resources, learn Western studies, reorganize the armed forces, and organize and train the new army. ”

Yi Xin was shocked, this woman is really not simple, she raised her eyebrows at the moment, and said, "Listen to me." ”

Xingzhen said slowly: "Nowadays, there are many powerful countries in the world, taking Britain and France and other powerful countries as examples, the whole country is based on industry and commerce, with developed industry and commerce, and rich countries and people. Industry can produce new guns and fast ships, and commerce can enrich the national treasury. And the Qing Dynasty is really difficult to hope for the two countries to match. Therefore, the first thing is to set up foreign affairs and develop industry and commerce. I heard that the taxes on the trade routes of the provinces in the south of the Yangtze River are enough to suppress bandits, if the land in the north of the Yangtze River can also run industry and commerce, and prosper commerce, why worry about not having money to do things? ”

Yi Xin's eyes gradually became a little hot, and what Xingzhen said he had usually pondered. He often thinks about how he would govern if he was the emperor, and what Xingzhen said at this time is exactly what he thinks about on weekdays.

Xingzhen continued: "In addition to foreign affairs, we should learn Western learning, and it is better to win people to fish than to win people." The technology of Britain and France has far surpassed ours, and the sharp guns and flying fast boats are all invented by Western studies. Only by learning from the West can we build our own guns and clippers. As the so-called master Yi long skill to control the country, the stones of other mountains can attack jade, which is exactly the case. ”

Yi Xin's face became solemn, he didn't think about doing foreign affairs, but he was worried that the resistance from the DPRK and China would be too great, and he didn't expect that this woman also had this insight and courage?

Xingzhen continued: "Since the Longhair Incident, the officers and soldiers have been exhausted, and it can be seen that the soldiers and horses of the Eight Banners Green Battalion have been decayed and cannot be appointed, and a new army needs to be established to suppress the thieves and defend the country." Although the Qing Dynasty established the country with bows and horses, but now firearms have become popular, and most of the firearms in the army are old things, and when the firearms are reorganized and reused, they are for the purpose of rearmament. As for the formation and training of the new army, although the provinces have regimental training soldiers and horses to suppress them, these soldiers and horses are all the private armies of the governors and ministers of the regimental training provinces. Besides, in the future, Changmao will be pacified, and it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no rebels who support the army and respect themselves, so it is better to train the new army by themselves. ”

After finishing speaking, Xingzhen smiled faintly and said, "I don't know if the words of my woman's Taoist family can enter the ears of the sixth master?" (To be continued......)
