Chapter 616: Precursor to Perdition
readx;? Hearing Xu Yang ask himself: Will the emperor agree to surrender, and will he compromise a series of excessive demands made by foreigners, he sighed heavily, smiled dryly and shook his head. Pen, fun, pavilion www.biquge.info net??
Xu Yang shook his head when he saw the other party, and asked in surprise: "Won't the emperor agree to surrender, but let the army continue to fight the foreign army?"
Seeing that Xu Yang didn't understand what he meant, he shook his head with a smile, and then began to shake his head and sigh: "General Xu, if it is replaced by Banzai, naturally we will not govern our country into such a weak and uncontrollable appearance." and will not agree to the vexatious conditions of foreign devilsγγγγγγ β
When Xu Yang heard the other party's words, he could only hear them in a fog, and he didn't understand why, so he thought: "What does it mean to 'if it is replaced by long live'? Could it be that the current court is not ruled by the emperor?"
"I was confused when I heard the old general's words. Where do you start with this?" Xu Yang asked blankly.
Seeing that Xu Yang didn't know about the crisis of the imperial court, and seeing that there were no outsiders around, he whispered: "General Xu, now the imperial court is clearly in charge of Banzai, but in fact, the queen mother is already in charge. β
Xu Yang was shocked when he heard that the emperor was no longer in charge of the country, and it was Qingqing who was in charge, and then he was angry, not knowing what happened to the court after he led his troops to Gan Province to fight, so that he was a little confused now.
Seeing Xu Yang's dazed appearance, he continued: "If it is replaced by the queen mother, I am afraid that the queen mother will agree to a series of excessive demands from foreigners, and she will definitely agree to surrender." And these series of changes have to start from when General Xu led his troops to Gan Province to fight. β
"Unprecedented general, during the period when I led the troops to fight in Gan Province, what happened to the imperial court, I hope the general will tell me about it. Xu Yang asked.
For the first time, he pointed out: "When General Xu led his troops to fight in Gan Province, Banzai suddenly became like a different person, demented all day long, and he no longer asked about a series of matters in the imperial court. During this period, the Empress Dowager and the National Teacher also emptied the power of Banzai, and the two completely controlled the life and death of the countryγγγγγγ β
When Xu Yang was in Longcheng in Gan Province before, he also learned some things about the emperor and Qingqing from the mouth of the eunuch. It's just that I never thought that the imperial court is now in charge of Qingqing and the national teacher, and there is nothing about the emperor at all.
"Long live it has become like this, and no one cares about the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty?" Xu Yang asked angrily.
Breaking the Sky sneered: "Excuse me, the hundred officials of the Manchu Dynasty are already the people of the national teacher, and who dares to go against the national teacher!"
"In this way, Rushui was imprisoned in the palace, and it was also harmed by Qingqing and the national teacher?" Xu Yang asked angrily.
For the first time, he naturally knew what the relationship between Xu Yang and Rushui was, and naturally understood some of the grievances and hatreds between Xu Yang and Qingqing. It is more or less guessed that Xu Yang's side and the national teacher's side have a common enmity.
Nodding for the first time, he said: "After the queen mother grabbed the power of the imperial court, not only did she no longer take care of the affairs of the imperial court, but she was greedy for pleasure all day long, building a large number of buildings, and building palaces and amusement facilities for herself. It seems that the money of the court is going to be spent on pleasure, which also makes the national strength fall off a cliff, and it is not as good as day by dayγγγγγ β
From this point of view, Qingqing will really agree to the surrender of the foreigners, and will definitely agree to the harsh conditions put forward by the foreigners. Xu Yang sighed and said.
Breaking the Heavens nodded and said: "It's just that in this way, the Celestial Empire will lose its past glory, and it will be on the road of destruction from now on." β
It's just that Xu Yang is puzzled: Before he went to Gan Province to lead the troops to fight, wasn't the emperor fine, why did he hear many bad news about the emperor one after another after returning to Longjing, and wondered who assassinated the emperor?
Xu Yang thought about it and was confident that the emperor would never be critically ill, someone must have made a ghost out of it, and someone assassinated the emperor to cause the emperor to become demented. "And the person who assassinated the emperor must have nothing to do with the national teacher!"
When Xu Yang thought of this, he immediately understood that when he left Longjing with his troops before, he didn't see the emperor from beginning to end, but he heard the emperor's ruthless farewell words, and secretly thought that the emperor at that time might have encountered an accident, right?
Xu Yang never expected that the national teacher and Qingqing would act so quickly, and when he left Longjing, he assassinated the emperor unconsciously, so that the two mastered the artifact of Jiangshan Sheji and truly became the masters of heaven and earth.
"If the two really master the artifact of Jiangshan Sheji, I'm afraid that the two will do whatever they want, and no one can help the two of them anymore. Xu Yang thought secretly in his heart.
The more Xu Yang thought about it, the more shocked he became, he didn't expect that after he returned to Longjing this time, not only the imperial court would change the sky, but even the controllers of heaven and earth would also change. "And how the Heavenly Empire will work in the future, I'm afraid it will become confusing, right?"
"Unprecedented General, the change of Long Live was unfamiliar to everyone, isn't there anyone secretly investigating? Is there any object of suspicion?" Xu Yang asked.
Breaking Heaven shook his head, and said with a sigh: "We and other loyal ministers did secretly investigate, but found nothing. He lowered his voice and continued: "I suspect that the reason why Banzai has become this appearance is that I am afraid that it will not be able to get rid of the Queen Motherγγγγγγ β
"Where do you start?" asked Xu Yang.
Unprecedented whispered: "I'm just guessing wildly, and I don't have real evidence." It's like this: Before General Xu left Longjing, the Empress Dowager called the national teacher to a water pavilion where there was no one and said something sneakily. Since then, Banzai has gradually become demented. continued: "It can be seen from this that Banzai was not framed by the Queen Mother and the National Teacher, and who caused it?"
"From this point of view, I am afraid that the Queen Mother and the National Teacher are the most suspicious. Xu Yang sighed and said.
Seeing that Xu Yang also agreed with his own thoughts, he said: "After the Empress Dowager and the National Teacher framed Long Live General, they mastered the power of the Jiangshan Sheji, and also made the palace miserable, excluding dissidents, and enjoying themselves, it is difficult not to arouse suspicion." β
"The Empress Dowager and the National Teacher are both important figures in the imperial court, even if we are suspicious of each other, it is difficult to eradicate both of them. What's more, the national teacher is a mysterious person, and it is even more difficult to deal with. Xu Yang said.
He nodded unprecedentedly, knowing that if he wanted to bring down the Queen Mother and the National Teacher at the same time, it would be even more difficult than ascending to the sky.
And the reason why the loyal and righteous courtiers such as Groundbreaking did not make it difficult for the queen mother and the national teacher was not only that there was no conclusive evidence, but more importantly, they were not capable of bringing the two of them down. What's more, even if the officials have real evidence, it will be difficult to get rid of the two.
Shaking his head and sighing, knowing that if it continued like this, the two of them would sooner or later lose the country, and the thousand-year-old foundation of the Celestial Empire would be destroyed by the hands of the two.
Breaking the ground, I can only bless the two of them not to make mistakes again and again, and not to agree to the harsh conditions of the foreign army. Otherwise, once you compromise with the foreign army, I am afraid that the strength of the Celestial Empire will plummet, and it will be on the road of destruction from now on.
However, he also knew that the Queen Mother was a person who was happy and happy, and she didn't want to go to war with the foreign army at all. Therefore, the final result will only be to compromise with the foreign army, stop the army and make peace, and agree to many unequal treaties with the foreign army.
Once the Empress Dowager and the national division compromised with the foreign army, although the Celestial Empire was defeated, the strength of the army was much worse than before, and the national strength declined significantly, but the Empress Dowager could continue to enjoy herself in the palace and live for a long time.
Although it was unprecedentedly expected that the queen mother would surrender to the foreign army, and she would definitely agree to many harsh conditions of the foreign army, she now has no room for maneuver, not only is the court declining, but even the army has become weak.
He sighed heavily, and wondered in his heart: "I hope this mess will not become more and more out of control." Otherwise, from now on, there will be no day of revival for the Celestial Empireγγγγγγ β
Xu Yang looked at the unprecedented, his face was cloudy, and he knew that the other party was worried about the future of the Celestial Empire. It's just that judging from the current situation, I'm afraid that the future of the Celestial Empire will become uncertain.
Looking at the scarred palace, he sighed heavily, as if he had made a heavy decision, and said: "When this matter is over, I plan to say goodbye to Banzai and return to my hometown, and never again ask about the world, and live in the fields for a long time." β
Xu Yang was shocked when he heard that he wanted to retreat for the first time, but he didn't expect that the other party no longer had hope for the imperial court. I want to comfort the other person, but I don't know how to say it's good.
"There are fewer and fewer loyal and good ministers in the court. General Xu stayed in the imperial court, and he might still be able to contain the empress dowager and the national teacher, and he couldn't let the two of them do whatever they wanted. General Xu, I hope you will remember my words!" said in a serious voice.
Xu Yang nodded and said, "I still don't want to kill the queen mother if I have no choice but to do so." I still hope that the other party can restrain himself, otherwise I will really be unkindγγγγγγ β
Seeing Xu Yang's body permeated with an imperceptible murderous aura, he didn't expect that the other party would want to kill the Queen Mother, and he was shocked in his heart.
"General Xu, I have always had a doubt in my heart, and I hope you can tell the truth!" said for the first time.
Xu Yang heard that the other party had something to ask him, and he didn't understand what he meant, and said with a smile: "What is the politeness of the unprecedented general, if there is anything, it doesn't hurt to say it." β
"General Xu, I said before that Banzai has become demented, and all matters in the imperial court are in charge of the Empress Dowager and the national teacher. How did you receive the will of Banzai when you were in Gan Province?" asked the Breaking Heaven.
Xu Yang laughed dryly, no longer concealed it, and said truthfully: "I don't hide it, I led the troops back to Beijing this time, and it was completely a false decree to bring the troops back to Beijing." And Banzai and the imperial court did not give any decree to Zaixia. β
