Chapter 614: The Eight Kings Alliance, the End of Gong Jiu
The weather is cold and the ground is freezing, and everything is scratched.
Shen Lian was dressed in a thick fox fur, and Siniang was skiing on the thick ice, and there was a very, very famous name in later generations - Ningguta!
The order of "sending Ningguta to a person in armor as a slave" is common in Qing court dramas, which can be called a cruel punishment second only to beheading, and most of them are exiled by the whole family.
As long as you are exiled, it is difficult to come back alive.
In the bitter cold land, life is extinct, and the sinners who have been distributed have neither cotton clothes nor enough food, even if they are iron-beaten men, they can't withstand three years of wear and tear.
Someone here asked, is Ningguta a particularly high latitude, in the northernmost part of China?
Of course not.
From the analysis of the map of Heilongjiang, Ningguta belongs to the low-latitude area, as we all know, the map of Heilongjiang Province is similar to a thumbs up, Ningguta is at the little finger, which is the lowest latitude place.
Some famous cities, such as Harbin, Jiamusi, Hegang, Qiqihar, Daqing, the latitude is much higher than Ningguta, and the famous Luding Mountain is the northernmost part, and you can go directly to the woolly bear.
It's just that in this era, there is neither heating, nor air conditioning, floor heating, or down jackets, and Ningguta is already a bitter cold land, which can be called a Jedi in the north.
Growing up in such an environment, if you can grow up healthy until you are twenty years old, your physique will obviously be stronger.
The grinding of ice and snow is no less than that of the Gobi Desert and the vast sea, and many hermitage masters like to retreat in the north, and some even in the northern polar regions.
On the one hand, the picture is pure, on the other hand, with the help of ice and snow to hone internal strength, on the other hand, in the ice and snow, there are all kinds of natural treasures, which can strengthen the foundation.
It stands to reason that the Manchu Qing should have flourished in martial arts.
How can the Manchu royal family be quite wary of the rivers and lakes, there are few martial arts forces in the Manchu Dynasty, most of them are alliances composed of small families, and the real masters are all worshiped by the royal family, and there are no large gangs.
Even Shaolin Wudang and other forces, there is no branch in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, it must be known that when Kangxi was young, he sent his cronies to join Shaolin and stole dozens of volumes of cheats, Shaolin turned a blind eye to this, there was such a fate, and there was no mercy, and it was not allowed to open a branch.
You can build a Buddhist temple and a Taoist temple, but it is absolutely impossible for a martial arts sect to prosper.
There is neither a master nor a chance, in such an icy and snowy environment, it stands to reason that Shen Lian will never come to Ningguta, how can Liu Banxian'er's god-killing bureau and Jade Rakshasa's entrustment collide together, Shen Lian took Feng Siniang out to experience and complete the entrustment of his predecessors.
It has been a full year since he returned from Xia Ke Island, Shen Lian has been honestly retreating, almost half a step has not gone out, and his bones are about to rust!
This trip is definitely coming.
Wu Sidao's god-killing situation was not directly aimed at Zhu Yuanzhang, nor was it directly sent to assassinate him.
Liu Bowen's god-killing game, of course, is not directly aimed at Yongzheng, but against the eighth prince.
The eighth prince's real name is Aixin Jueluo Yinxi, and his generation is all "Yin" generation.
After Yongzheng ascended the throne, he changed the "Yin" of his brothers to "Yun", therefore, today's eighth prince is named Aixin Jueluo Yunxi, which is the most hated name in his life, and it is better than Aqina and Sesi Hei!
The name means he's a loser.
Although the Eight Princes are high and powerful, and he has the title of Eight Sages King in the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, he understands in his heart that most of his cronies have been uprooted by Yongzheng.
When the power is almost eliminated, Yongzheng will definitely turn his face and completely knock him into the abyss.
The henchmen attached to the side of the eighth prince, the fourteenth prince Yunyu was deprived of military power and sent to guard the imperial mausoleum, the ninth prince Yunyu relied on his mother's legacy, and the cockfighting lackeys were happy all day long, like a "little whirlwind" Chai Jin, and the tenth prince Yun was confined and claustrophobic and had passed away.
The ministers who were once loyal to Yun Xi were naturally a son of heaven and a courtier, and they either betrayed Yun Xi or were eliminated by Yongzheng, leaving only three or four percent.
Yun Xi's only advantage is that the decree implemented by Yongzheng is beneficial to the people, but it is not conducive to officials, especially the apportionment of the land, the return of fire to the public, and the integration of the gentry and the payment of grain, which seriously offends the scholars.
Even Li Fu, the top of the Manchu scholars, and his protΓ©gΓ©, was almost beheaded by Yongzheng because of this incident.
Today's Manchu and Qing Dynasty are at the most intense moment of confrontation, and it is also Yun Xi's last chance.
Because Yongzheng has recently implemented a policy.
Let the children of the Eight Banners, like the Han people, also need to cultivate the land, which aroused strong opposition from the banner people.
They could have eaten and waited for death, but now they have to work hard to farm, who can stand this?
Yun Xi took the opportunity to contact the four iron hat kings, and wanted to replace the Military Aircraft Department with the Eight Kings Discussion, so as to balance Yongzheng's growing power, otherwise, as long as Yongzheng survived this game, Yun Xi would have no room to turn over.
β¦β¦
Shengjing, Prince Lian's Mansion.
Yun Yu let out a long sigh.
Although he knew that what he was doing was dangerous, that it would weaken the foundation of the Manchu Qing and allow people to take advantage of it, but he could no longer retreat, and when things reached this point, he could only swim against the current, otherwise he would be crushed.
After many efforts, Yun Yu got the support of the four iron hat kings, in addition, he also got the support of an important minister, that is, the Fulong Court back then, but the difference in thought led to a lower and lower status
- Nine Gate Admiral Long Kedo!
Long Keduo was born in the Tong Jia clan, his aunt was Empress Xiaokangzhang, the biological mother of Emperor Kangxi, and his sister was Empress Xiaoyiren, the empress of Kangxi.
According to the seniority, Yongzheng is going to call his uncle.
At the most intense moment of the nine sons' succession, Long Keduo chose to support Yongzheng, and after the fact, he gained great power.
Roncodo was not reconciled to this.
He is a very gambling person, since Yongzheng does not trust him, he bets on the next emperor, and he decides to re-establish the Dragon Court and support the third prince Hongshi.
This is the condition that Yun Yu and him have reached.
Yun Yu has worked hard all these years, his health is not as good as before, and he has no intention of fighting for the throne, he just wants to compete for part of the power and be the "executive vice emperor".
As for the future emperor, Yun Xi himself also supported Hongshi, because when Hongshi was young, he happened to be raised by Yun Xu, and he was almost passed to Yun Xi.
Yun Yu has no children and regards Hongshi as his own son.
If Hongshi can ascend the throne, then slap Kangxi and Yongzheng's faces in all aspects, because both of them are optimistic about Hongli, Hongli was brought up by Kangxi when he was very young, as if he was the emperor's eldest grandson!
Yun Yu wants to win once.
Not only to win Yongzheng, but also to win Kangxi!
"Huang Ama, Huang Ama, why didn't you pass the throne to me back then, I am diligent in government affairs, I am a famous eight sage king in the government and the opposition, the fourth cold-faced king, why is he sitting on my head, I don't accept it! Defy! β
β¦β¦
Shengjing, Imperial Palace.
Yongzheng finished reading the last piece of music and asked casually: "What time is it?" β
Li Dequan, the personal eunuch, immediately said: "It's almost time, Your Majesty, the old slave has a saying that you don't vomit today, you can't stay up like this!" β
Although Li Dequan is a eunuch, his status in the palace is quite good, his master is Kangxi's personal eunuch Sandezi, after Sandezi resigned, Li Dequan took his place and was Kangxi's personal eunuch.
has served two emperors, has seen the scene of the nine sons seizing the heir, and in the process, he has secretly protected several princes, including the thirteenth prince Yunxiang, who has been imprisoned for ten years, Yongzheng trusts him very much.
Yongzheng sighed: "I want to rest, but there is Daming watching outside, and there is Yun Yu and Yun Yu engaging in wind and rain, how can I have half a day of leisure?" β
Li Dequan stopped talking.
There's no way to deal with it.
Yongzheng showed a little bitterness: "The closest people around me are none other than you and Lao Thirteen, some things can't be said in front of Lao Thirteen, his heart is too soft, he can't see brothers killing each other, he can only complain to you." β
Yunxiang is Yongzheng's only confidant, the other brothers are all courtiers, only Yunxiang is the thirteenth brother.
Prince Yi Yunxiang is both civil and military, can not only lead troops to fight, but also govern the world, he is bold and generous, upright, honest and upright, and loyal.
Yun Xiang is very good, but there is only one thing, that is, his heart is softer, and he cares about brotherhood, when the ninth son seized the heir, Yun Yu and others attacked him many times, but he did not have the heart of revenge, but wanted to ease the conflict.
For example, when Nian Qianyao was defeated, Lan Yu led the army to chase and kill, and at that time, Yunxiang personally persuaded the fourteenth prince Yunyu to give it and wanted to ask him to rectify military affairs.
It's a pity that Yun Yu not only ignored his kindness, but also scolded Yun Xiang angrily and scolded Yun Xiang to vomit blood.
Because of this incident, Yunxiang's health is getting worse and worse, Yongzheng hates Yunyu because of this, if it weren't for Yunyu's half-brother and mother, and the old lady pleaded many times, Yongzheng would have imprisoned him until he went crazy.
Yongzheng wanted to deal with Yun Yu and others, but it was inconvenient to say this to Yun Xiang, so he could only complain to Li Dequan.
The more you know, the safer it is on the one hand, and the more dangerous it is on the other hand, Li Dequan knows that if Yongzheng dies one day, he will inevitably go with him.
Just when Yongzheng was complaining, Qiao Yindi, the personal palace maid, sent a message: "Your Majesty, this is Mr. Wu's information, he asked you to approve it immediately." β
Mr. Wu is Wu Sidao.
Wu Sidao was originally a Manchu Xiucai, but when he participated in the imperial examination, he encountered a fraud case, and his name fell to Sun Shan, and he angrily gathered candidates to besiege the Gongyuan, which led to the dismissal of the chief examiner, and other candidates were not guilty, but Wu Sidao became a wanted criminal.
By chance, Wu Sidao became Yongzheng's staff, Yongzheng at that time, was still Prince Yong in the abyss, and he was far away from the prince.
Wu Sidao planned for Yongzheng in a thousand ways, and made great contributions on the road to Yongzheng's succession.
After Yongzheng ascended the throne, he wanted to kill him, but he didn't give up his talent, so he appointed Wu Sidao as the chief manager of the sticky pole, which is equivalent to the commander of the Jinyi Guard.
Most of the time, Wu Sidao is wise to protect himself, but as long as the urgent information he sends, it must be the most important of the big things, and Yongzheng does not dare to slack off in the slightest.
When I opened the bag, I saw that it read:
The eighth prince colluded with the four iron hat kings, fearing that it would be unfavorable to His Majesty, and the master of the Ming Dynasty sneaked in, suspected of being related to this matter, and quickly asked Prince Yi to lead the troops and horses.
Yongzheng immediately ordered: "Pass the decree, quickly Prince Xuanyi enters the palace, Li Dequan, go and invite your master, Master Fayin and Father-in-law Wei, I have affairs to consult." β
I have to say that the legacy left by Kangxi is rotten in the treasury, and the empty can almost starve the rats to death, but at the level of martial arts masters, it is very strong, leaving several masters to worship.
The leader is named Wei Tang, who is a young Kangxi hair, grew up with Kangxi since he was a child, and went to Shaolin to steal the secrets of martial arts, and his martial arts attainments are unfathomable.
Kangxi reigned for sixty-one years, and the most trusted person in the first twenty years was Wei Tang, after which Wei Tang practiced martial arts in retreat, and this trust was transferred to Sandezi and Fayin, and when these two people retreated and cultivated, it was transferred to Li Dequan.
In addition, there is also Tu Lichen, the first guard with a sword in Ouchi, whose martial arts are not weaker than Wei Tang.
Tulichen is in his prime and in the prime of life.
The other three masters are enshrined, the youngest Sandezi is eighty-two years old this year, Fayin is eighty-eight years old, and Wei Tang is over ninety years old, they are all old guys, and they don't care about anything, and Yongzheng doesn't want to invite them.
The reason is very simple, Sandezi, Fa Yin, and the biological mother of the Nine Princes Yun Yu, Concubine Guo Luoluo, have a lot of friendship, if they are invited to do things, they will inevitably have some rewards for Yun Yu and forgive Yun Yu for his nonsense.
"Alas! Alone! β
Yongzheng sighed again.
β¦β¦
The masters of the Ming Dynasty did arrive in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and these people were all Jinyi Guards and had nothing to do with Shen Lian.
Shen Lian was in Luding Mountain at this time.
Liu Bowen's god-killing game is to break the dragon vein, but this dragon vein is not about Luding Mountain, but about the Eight Banners, which is the real core, the real dragon vein.
The most important part is to pinch the four flag lords to re-enact the "Eight Kings Discussion".
Someone here asked, the Manchu Eight Banners, the Eight Kings Discuss Politics, why are the four banner lords?
Because the Eight Banners are divided into two parts.
Three flags on the top, five flags down.
The upper three flags are under the jurisdiction of the emperor, and Yun Xi can only win over the lower five flags, five flag owners, and four flags, and his ability can be seen, and he can't ask for more.
The purpose of Yun Yu is to snatch the upper three flags from Yongzheng's hands, he, the nine princes, and the fourteen princes each occupy a banner owner, and the thirteen princes occupy one of the five flags, and the power of the four princes remains unchanged.
Shen Lian came to the Manchu Dynasty to help Yun Xi a little while completing the agreement with the Jade Rakshasa .
Whether Yun Xi succeeds or fails, Shen Lian doesn't care very much, and Liu Bowen doesn't care very much.
As long as Yun Xi chooses to launch, Liu Bowen's calculation will be completed, and Shen Lian will not need to participate in these things, and even have time to help Jade Rakshasa clean up the rebellion.
Feng Siniang asked curiously, "Husband, what does the Jade Rakshasa want you to do?" Why did you run to the Manchu Qing Dynasty to clear the rebellion, I received information that there seemed to be a civil strife in the Western Regions Demon Sect, and the Jade Rakshasa was assassinated. β
"Who can assassinate the Jade Rakshasa?"
Of course, Shen Lian had read the information from the Western Regions, but he still asked this question.
Feng Siniang was a little suspicious, mistakenly thinking that Shen Lian had been in retreat for too long recently and didn't understand the outside world, so she explained the recent changes in the Western Regions for Shen Lian.
"Of course, it's Gong Jiu of the Power Gang, he assassinated Shangguan Fei last year and fled from under the Wave Cloud Sword, although the Jade Rakshasa martial arts are clever, but with a secret injury, if Gong Jiu strikes to the death, plus the internal help, there may not be no chance of success, there should be two or three percent!"
"What if I told you that the Jade Rakshasa was faked? The end of Gong Jiu is actually just a lie, a lie that has been laid out for many years. β
Shen Lian's voice was slightly sarcastic: "Gong Jiu's madness can't be suppressed, there was Wu Ming who could suppress Gong Jiu before, but now no one can suppress him, Li Shenzhou was worried about this, and deliberately let Gong Jiu go to death." β
"Will Gong Jiu agree?"
"Of course it will, because he needs stimulation, and for Gong Jiu, this is the biggest stimulation, at least until Gong Jiu dies, thinking that he is the winner." (End of chapter)
