"Coax!"

The entire Qianqing Palace hall is in chaos again!

More than 300,000 people were burned alive!

That's a lot of money!

The officials present looked at Yu Zhong with a little different eyes, especially many Han Chen, who looked at Yu Zhong with a little more disgust in their eyes.

……

"I burned Nagasaki?"

Yu Zhong was also stunned by this guy called Ueno. …… You guys can talk about it! Although he endured it and didn't break out on the spot, he was still so angry that his blood was churning.

"Yu Aiqing, is what the Japanese said true or false?"

This kind of scene naturally didn't take the turn of others to speak, Yinren asked Yu Zhong with a calm face.

"What do you think, Your Highness?" Rely on your mother! Our feud is a big one! …… Yu Zhong clenched his fists and scolded in his heart. It's just that you have a grudge against that kid Made, why are you provoking me? If you provoke me, you can provoke me, who called us Ma De buddies, wearing a pair of pants? But you still colluded with the Japanese to come along? Don't you know that Lao Tzu hates Japanese devils the most in his life? Yes! Collude with the Japanese to come together, but you, bastard Wang Balamb, actually deduct the things committed by Nian Qianyao on Lao Tzu's head! You're simply not human!

"You ask Hongu? How does Hongu know what's going on? …… However, Yu Aiqing, you can rest assured. You are a great hero of our dynasty, and this palace must not allow people to slander you. As long as you say a 'no', this palace will not only clarify the matter for you, but also avenge you immediately! Yinren looked righteous and awe-inspiring, and said angrily.

"Your Highness, Your Highness......"

Hearing Yinren's words, before Yu Zhong had time to think about anything, there was a sudden rush of shouting outside the main hall, and then, a large internal guard broke in.

"What's the matter? This is the Qianqing Palace, what kind of system is panicked? Yinren shouted.

"Back to His Highness, that Japanese, he, he ......" The guards seemed to rush all the way, and after kneeling down in the main hall, they couldn't stop panting, and they couldn't even speak coherently.

"The Japanese? …… What happened to him? Qi Liang asked out loud.

"Your Highness, that Japanese man committed suicide as soon as he left the Nichisei Gate!" The guard shouted. (The main gate of the Qianqing Palace is the Qianqing Gate, and the two side doors are Rijing and Yuehua)

"Killed yourself!?"

Everyone was stunned again!

"That's right. It's suicide! Or caesarean section...... If it weren't for the quick hands of the brothers, this guy would have had to cut his belly in half! It makes it call a bloody ......," the guard shouted again, and gestured twice as he spoke, so that many of the officials turned their faces unconsciously, both civil and military.

"Don't say it, you go down! …… Bring someone to clean up the corpse! Yinren also hurriedly waved his hand and motioned for the guard to go down.

"Wow!"

……

"His Royal Highness the Prince. We Japanese have a rule that a person who commits suicide by disembowelment can atone for all his crimes. Sanpei Xuanyuan has paid with his life for his mistakes, and please forgive his sins! Taking advantage of the silence in the hall again, Makino Chengzhen, who had been kneeling on the ground, spoke.

"This ...... Reassure the ministers. This palace is not going to embarrass a dead man! Besides, this palace didn't say that he had committed any crime! Yinren said with a slight look of loneliness on his face.

"Thank you, Your Highness the Prince!" Makino Chengzhen slowly leaned over and kowtowed to Yinren, and then continued: "Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has forgiven Xuanyuan Sanping's sins, please allow your subordinates to send someone to collect his body!" ”

"It's all up to you!" Yinren put his hands behind his back and sighed.

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Makino Chengzhen kowtowed to Yinren again, and then turned his head to Ueno, who "accused" Yu Zhong of committing the "heinous crime" of burning Nagasaki, and said, "Ueno-kun, you and Xuanyuan-kun are friends, so it's up to you to collect his body!" ”

"Yes...... Be! Trembling in response, the Ueno stood up, glanced deeply at Yu Zhong again, and walked straight out of the main hall without wiping the blood that had already been stained on his face. When many ministers saw him, they couldn't help but turn their faces away, and some even blocked their eyes with their sleeves......

"Idiot!" Yu Zhong secretly scolded these ministers. The performance of these people at this time can only be called "humiliation". Maybe it will make those Japanese think that the Qing court is all a bunch of cowards! …… But this is just right, if little Japan really has this idea, it can't wait to start a war with the Qing Dynasty now, but everything is easy to say! At least, based on the current comparison of the national strength of the Qing Dynasty and Japan, the Qing Dynasty is the victorious side. Yu Zhong thought secretly.

"The envoy doesn't have to stay here anymore, so many things have happened at once, you better follow along and deal with it!" Seeing that Ueno walk out of the main hall, Yinren said to Makino Chengzhen again.

"Your subordinates obey!" Makino Chengzhen kowtowed again, slowly got up from the ground, and slowly turned around and walked out of the hall.

……

"Yu Aiqing, did anything happen in Nagasaki?" When Makino Chengzhen also walked out of the main hall, Yinren asked Yuzhong this question again, but this time his tone was a little impatient.

"His Royal Highness the Prince. The two countries have always competed with each other, and they have always resorted to all kinds of extremes. When the adults went to the house of the Japanese general, the Japanese must hate it very much. It is not impossible to find a few dead men to slander adults. So, the minions thought that the words of these Japanese could not be believed! "It's not the same as answering, so he came forward and said.

"Not bad. The two countries are at war, and it is inevitable that there will be casualties. There were less than 20,000 people under the command of General Yu, and with a population of 10 or 20 million people, Japan's national military strength was at least hundreds of thousands. To be outnumbered, it should naturally be based on the use of the plan, is it all based on desperate fighting? I think these Japanese are probably falsely reporting the number of people, and deliberately want to use the hands of the imperial court to frame adults! In this way, they can not only avenge the defeat of the army, but also destroy one of our generals and deal a blow to the morale of our Korean soldiers. Wang Yuyang, the secretary of the Criminal Department, said.

"Hmmm! What everyone Aiqing said makes sense! However, Yu Aiqing, why don't you speak? Yinren asked Yu Zhong again: "Although all the ministers think that you have been wronged by the Japanese, you have to give everyone a quasi-letter, right?" ”

“…… Your Highness! Nagasaki was indeed burned! Yu Zhong took a deep breath and continued: "And this fire is also set by a minion!" ”

……

"What did you say, Lord Yu?"

There have been too many surprising things happening in the Qianqing Palace one after another today. Alinga was closest to Yu Zhong, and almost wanted to reach out and touch Yu Zhong's head to see if he suddenly had a high fever and burned his mind.

"Yu Aiqing, what did you just say? You said you set fire to Nagasaki? You're not telling jokes, are you? There are some things you can't talk about! Yinren was also obviously a little anxious, and asked again and again towards Yuzhong.

"Back to Your Highness. Nagasaki has indeed been burned, out and it was indeed ordered by the minions. The minions didn't dare to deceive you and didn't tell any jokes! Seeing that Yinren's anxiety was not pretended, Yu Zhong was also secretly relieved. …… Just know you guys aren't going to have any good birds! Maintaining Lao Tzu on the surface, who knows what kind of calculation he is playing in secret? Damn, abnormal affairs are demons! Lao Tzu would rather bear the responsibility of "burning Nagasaki" than let your real conspiracy succeed.

"Lord Yu, you...... Did you really burn more than 300,000 people to death in one fire? Imperial Envoy Bai Mingjing asked cautiously. This Xiong Cixu's protégé, when Kangxi asked Xiong Cixu to arrange someone to impeach Mingzhu, Xiong Cixu chose him. But when he came, he laid a soft egg, if it wasn't for Guo Xiu jumping out by himself, he would have almost broken Kangxi's abacus. It is precisely because of this that he has not been able to transfer for more than ten years, and he has been moving around in the position of imperial envoy, and he can't go up or down.

"Hmph. Osaka, Japan's second largest city, has only a population of 300,000, and how can there be so many people in Nagasaki? Yu Zhongleng snorted.

"Even if there aren't many people in Nagasaki, this burns a city out of thin air, after all, it's not a village!" Du Zhen, the servant of the ministry, sighed.

"My emperor governs the country with 'benevolent government', but you are ...... Alas, if this is spread to the people, how can the imperial court justify itself? Wu Xinzhong, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, also continued.

"The Japanese invaded our Qing Dynasty first and wanted to encroach on our land, why not lead troops to counterattack? The enemy army has nearly 200,000 troops, and the vanguard of 50,000 has already been in close contact with our army. After Yu led his troops to attack him, he was helpless. You can't let my army fight to the death with the Japanese with fewer enemies, right? In that case, even if our army can win, I'm afraid there won't be a few people left. Yu Zhong retorted.

"That being said. However, Lord Yu, no matter how much you reason, I'm afraid you will be burned by this fire! Qi Liang said.

"Not bad. If there were casualties in the battle between the two armies, no one would say anything, but this fire burned to the local people...... Even if Japan is soft for a while, I am afraid that it will be deeply resentful, and it will inevitably be unfavorable to our dynasty at that time! Another minister said.

"It's too ruthless!" The old man Wang Xuan paused and said.

"Your Excellency is too harsh on your lords, aren't you? Just like what Lord Xuxu said just now, the two countries are at war, and they will do everything they can! Nagasaki is an important city in Japan, and if it is burned, it can just deter the whole of Japan and facilitate the attack of large armies. This...... It's not a big culption, is it? Tong Guowei said suddenly.

"That is, if the Japanese dare to offend our dynasty, they should be punished. According to me, Lord Yu should put a fire on that Edo and burn the Japanese shogun! Alinga continued.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, Weichen just felt a little strange. Since there are not so many people in Nagasaki, why did the Japanese envoy have to say that there were more than 300,000 people in Nagasaki? You Mingtang, the head of the household, spoke again.

"That's right, why do they have to say 300,000 people?" Someone made up for it.

……

"Let's not talk about how many people there are in Nagasaki. Let's think about it first, how big a fire can burn more than 300,000 people? …… His Royal Highness the Prince, although Weichen is not a military general, he can be regarded as understanding. A city of more than 300,000 people should at least have a few thousand soldiers and horses to defend it, right? How many soldiers and horses are there in Lord Yu? Coupled with the fire, the people fled, and I am afraid that even Lord Yu poured all the troops of the Manchurian Naval Division, and he could not block everyone in the city. How is it possible that there are only a hundred people left? Moreover, Japan has not had any dealings with our country before, and it is only enough that the envoy can speak my Chinese language, so how can two retinues speak it so well? As far as Wei Chen knows, it is the Mongolian princes, and there are not many people under him who can speak Chinese, why are these Japanese so capable? Weichen thought that there were many doubts in this and could not be believed. Shi Shilun finally said a few words for Yu Zhong.

"What Master Shi said is reasonable! I think this Japanese just want to deliberately frame him! If you want to burn a city clean, you must at least occupy the city first. Since Nagasaki has more than 300,000 people, it must be an important city in Japan, so is there no heavy army to defend it? Even if Lord Yu captures this city, won't the Japanese be able to escape? Hmph, a fire can actually burn more than 300,000 people to death, do they regard Nagasaki as Changping, and that city is the pit dug by Qin General Baiqi? Wang Hongxu made up again.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, in Weichen's opinion, this is very likely that the Japanese deliberately want to frame your lordship. Otherwise, why would they tell lies? There is a truth in the false, and there is a truth in the false, and this kind of statement is the most difficult to distinguish. We can't afford to fall for them! Chen Xijia also said.

"Exactly. Even if Lord Yu burned Nagasaki, since the Japanese had already conceded defeat, why did he mention it again? Could it be that they want to fight again? So what did they do in the first place? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, this is not possible, it is really these Japanese who are vicious and deliberately want to harm adults! He said again.

"Buzz!"

After a few people finished speaking, a group of ministers began to talk again, and the Qianqing Palace was lively. However, because Wang Yuyang, the secretary of the Criminal Department, Wu Jiamo, the secretary of the Ministry of Households, and Wang Hongxu, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, plus Tong Guowei, the secretary of the Ministry of War and the minister of the study, as well as Shi Shilun, You Mingtang, Chen Xijia and other servants also seem to be helping Yu Zhong to speak, intentionally or unintentionally, the direction of everyone's begging has changed somewhat, although some people, such as Ah Shan and others, are opposed, but, on the whole, most of the officials are somewhat inclined to Yu Zhong, even Wang Liang's old man, although he blamed Yu Zhong for being too ruthless, but he did not show any good feelings towards the Japanese. Yinren stood on the imperial steps and watched the situation, his hands behind his back secretly clenched into fists.

……

"Your Highness, Your Highness......" The argument in the hall continued, and another shout came from outside the hall, the same as the Ouchi guard just now.

"What's the matter?" Yinren asked loudly.

"Ah...... Return, return to Your Highness, that ...... That Japanese killed himself again! Obviously taken aback by Yinren's anger, the guard couldn't help but stumble a little.

"What killed himself again? Make it clear! Tong Guowei reprimanded.

"Yes, yes, yes! This...... Back to Tong Xiang, the Japanese who went out just now also committed suicide by caesarean section when he left the noon gate! When he was dying, he was still saying that he could not take revenge and could not live. The guard replied cautiously.

"Just went out? Could it be that the Japanese envoy committed suicide? Shao Mubu asked.

"No, no, no, it's the envoy's retinue!" The guard waved his hand again and again.

"Retinue? When the man was dying, what did he say, 'No revenge'? Shi Shilun asked.

"Yes, yes!" Seeing that all the ministers were almost glaring at him, the Ouchi guard who had come to report was visibly more nervous, and stammered.

"Do you know Japanese?" Wang Yuyang also asked the guard.

"I don't understand!" The guard shook his head repeatedly.

"That means the Japanese guy who committed suicide just now is speaking Chinese?" Wang Yuyang asked again.

"No, it's not, it's the envoy who said it!" The guard replied.

"The envoy?"

"Yes. The two attendants committed suicide one after another, and some brothers were curious, so they asked the envoy the reason, and the envoy said something, 'You can't take revenge, you can't survive, you can only kill yourself' or something? The guard replied.

"It's a good trick 'blood splash noon'. Your Highness, these two Japanese committed suicide one after another, and the purpose was by no means simple. Wechen am afraid that they want to use their own death to arouse the sympathy of the court for them, so as to prompt the court to severely punish the adults! Wang Yuyang said.

"Weichen also agrees with what Lord Wang said!" Shi Shilun followed and said.

"I didn't expect that there would be foreigners playing 'corpse advice' in front of our Qing Dynasty's palace, and they played twice at a time. Hehe, that's amazing! …… I wonder what you think? Why do you think that these Japanese are taking us Qing officials as fools? Said to everyone in a strange way.

"This Japanese is really hateful!" Tong Guowei snorted coldly.

"The conspiracy is wrong, and his heart should be punished!"

"Not bad. Be punished! ”

……

"Your Highness! ......Why isn't the atmosphere right?" The guards looked at Yinren again with trepidation.

"What do you see? Get out! Go tell that Makino Chengzhen, let him clean up the corpse for me, and get out of Beijing immediately! Yinren shouted.

"Wow!" The guard answered, and ran out.

……

"Your Highness! The Japanese intend to frame adults, and their hearts really deserve to be punished! However, it is also a fact that Lord Yu burned Nagasaki, and this matter will eventually hurt the name of 'benevolence and righteousness' of our dynasty. In particular, if this matter spreads and these vassal states think that our dynasty is cruel and centrifuged, what should we do? After the guard left, there was a moment of silence in the hall before the deadlock was broken again by the argument of Law.

"Lord Lao, according to your meaning, if these vassal states are dissatisfied with the imperial court, the imperial court should correct it according to their wishes?" Chen Xijia said.

"Master Chen misunderstood. How could that be what Lao meant? Lao was just worried that this matter would cause the vassal country to centrifuge! Lao Zhi replied.

"Centrifugation? Hehe, that's a nice thing to say. If this is the case, will I not be able to kill indiscriminately when I go out to the generals in the future? As far as I know, there are many places where there are bandits in the past, and if it is the will of Lord Yilao, if these places rebel, what should the imperial court do? Could it be that it is impossible to send someone to learn from the Buddha to cut meat and serve? Wang Hongxu said again.

"Lord Wang, Lord Chen, don't mess with Lord Lao's original intentions." Old man Wang Yu came forward again and said: "Although Lord Yu has made contributions to the country, he burned down a city this time!" I don't know how many people were burned to death, or maybe Nagasaki is said to be a place of trade between Japan and foreign countries, so the population must have been large. All of them were burned clean at once, and no matter whose ears they reached were, they would inevitably be very dissatisfied with the imperial court. Maybe something else will lead to it...... Therefore, he is too much to do more than he has done! ”

"Boss Wang is right! That's exactly what it means in the next! Lao Zhibi said.

"Not bad. Meritorious work is merit, and passing is excessive, although the Japanese are hateful, we always have to evaluate the merits of adults! Ahsan also said.

"Yes, yes......" Some more ministers joined in.

"Okay, you dead old man, I remember you!" Seeing Wang Luo's righteous face, Yu Zhong couldn't help but secretly scolded twice. However, scolding and scolding, he still knew what this old man meant. After the Qing army entered the customs, the weight of killing was rare in ancient and modern times. The three massacres in Jiading and the ten days in Yangzhou killed the people of Jiangnan who hated the Qing court to the core. Although the Qing Dynasty later unified the world, its rule over Jiangnan was never as stable as it was over the north. Otherwise, Kangxi would not have sent his four cronies to Jiangnan to sit in the town. Moreover, his four cronies, except for one Wu Dan in Guangdong, Wei Dongting, Mu Zixu, and Cao Yin are all staying in Jiangsu, in addition to because Jiangsu and Zhejiang are the land of fish and rice, it is because the Qing army has done the greatest evil there, and it is the most unsafe ruling area for Kangxi. Now, Kangxi is about to go on a southern tour again, if he goes on a killing spree and sets fire to hundreds of thousands of people at once, who knows what will happen? However, it seems that the "deeds" of the Qing army's previous massacre of the city will definitely be revealed, so how can Kangxi still let go of his mind to go to Jiangnan to have fun? It's nice not to get poked in the backbone. Therefore, judging from today's situation, his "pass" is a backfall.

"Hongu is tired today. The affairs of Yu Zhong will be submitted to the Emperor Ama for personal disposal, and Yu Zhong cannot leave the capital until the holy decree arrives. …… Alright, let's all disperse! Yinren had a calm face, as if he hadn't heard Wang Luo's words, but waved his hand impatiently, and then, in the shouts of the hundred officials, he walked to the back of the hall by himself.

……

"Lord Yu is really smart!"

Scattered. Yu Zhong followed everyone out of the Qianqing Palace, and was about to leave, but Tong Guowei suddenly followed him and said to him.

"Tong Xiang doesn't understand what Yu said, please advise!" Yu Zhong looked at the first minister of the dynasty, and said with his fists clenched. Anyway, this guy can be regarded as helping him say a few words in the court this time, although he didn't say much, but it can be regarded as showing his attitude, so that many ministers don't dare to say anything unfavorable to him directly, which can be regarded as a small help.

"Hehe, Lord Yu, you didn't burn Nagasaki, did you?"

"Didn't I burn it? Hehe, how could Tong Xiang think so? Yu didn't dare to deceive the prince! Yu Zhong shook his head and smiled.

"Although I, Tong Guowei, am not a great talent, I still think I still have vision. Your Excellency, although you are strict in governing the army, you are not a person who is easy to kill. You can't do such a thing as 'burning Nagasaki'! …… Besides, have you forgotten that the dog is still in your army? Tong Guowei said with a smile.

"Tong Xiang, if you have something to say, let's just say it. It's too much effort! Yu Zhong also smiled.

"Huh...... Actually, it's nothing. Although the two boys of Long Keduo and Oro Dai have suffered a lot in Vladivostok, they have also worn out a lot of temperament, and they should have grown a little. Besides, it's not just the two of them who are suffering. Tong Guowei smiled indifferently, changed the topic again, and said: "Lord Yu, if you don't take the matter of 'burning Nagasaki' just now, it will be a disaster of death!" ”

"Please also ask Tong Xiang for advice!"

"The prince protects you on the surface, just to make you defenseless. However, he must have secretly put the arson on your head, which is tantamount to making a trap for you to get into. When the matter is reported to the emperor, you will inevitably be a 'crime of deception'! This is going to punish the Nine Clans. Even if the emperor values you, he will definitely not spare you, otherwise, why block the mouths of the people? ”

Tong Guowei said with a smile.
