Chapter 152: Su Yu and the Emperor! Political change!
(The chapter was reviewed, I went to the editor to unravel it)
For the emperor Xianfeng, this person is difficult to coax, but it is also very easy to coax.
This person is arrogant, and it is easy to coax him if he follows him.
Su Shun did this, coaxing and deceiving the emperor, so that the emperor obeyed him.
But it is precisely because of this that Su Shun has a lot of skills, and he can't use them at all.
Su Shun is also a reformist, especially for flag affairs, he wanted to do it several times, but he couldn't do it, so he could only desperately support Zeng Guofan and other Han people.
Xianfeng, once he treats you as his own, then everything is fine.
For example, Du Han, the Ministry of Industry was negligent in the time of the collapse of the imperial tomb, and the corruption and cutting corners that existed in it, did the emperor really not know? He must have known more or less about it, but Du Han was his absolute confidant, his own person.
So I pretended to be confused.
Moreover, Su Quan, who solved this matter at that time, can be regarded as the emperor's own person.
When the palms and backs of his hands were full of meat, the emperor still chose Du Han's palm and suspended Su Quan at home.
It was not until the news of Su Yu's victory in Jiangxi reached the palace that the emperor restored Su Quan's official position and ordered a thorough investigation of corruption in the Ministry of Industry.
The emperor and Su Yu have been getting along for two or three years, and they have also pulled each other for two or three years.
At first, the emperor didn't feel it, but then he gradually discovered that Su Yu seemed to be obedient on the surface, but in fact he was very tough, and even forced others to back down every time, including him, the emperor.
The emperor did not fully agree with the training of the new army, but he was guided by Su Yu to agree.
The mutiny of the New Army, including the recent fact that he was going to be the governor of Jiangxi.
It's just that Su Yu's methods are very clever, making it seem that it is completely the emperor's own will.
And Su Yu is really powerful, as long as he makes a move, he can save the situation.
Therefore, the emperor has always trusted him and favored him.
But recently, Su Yu wants to set up a factory and run foreign affairs.
This is a bit of an offense to the emperor's scales.
In fact, the emperor did not know that running factories and foreign affairs would lead to the rise of the bourgeoisie, weaken imperial power, lead to local financial autonomy, and so on.
But he instinctively repels.
Like his father Daoguang, he rejects the kind of relatively big changes and subversions.
felt that the greater the new affairs, the greater the threat to the imperial power, which was also the fundamental reason for the Manchu emperor's conservatism.
It's also their instinctive sense of smell.
Of course, Su Yu understood this very well, so he did not go directly to the chapter, but asked Su Shun to hand it over, so that there could be a detour between him and the emperor.
The emperor was also happy that Su Yu was sensible at the beginning, so that he didn't need to reject Su Yu directly.
asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to allocate 700,000 taels, but the favor did not come.
Just want Su Yu to retreat in the face of difficulties, train well in Jiangxi, and help him eliminate rebellion as soon as possible.
Therefore, when Princess Shou'an invited the Mongolian princes and their families, the emperor also faintly revealed the style of export, saying that he did not support Su Yu to set up a factory. caused Princess Shou'an to ask the Mongolian prince to raise money and returned.
I thought that Su Yu should retreat in the face of difficulties, but he didn't expect that Su Yu mobilized more than 100,000 ordinary people in the capital.
In the end, a huge wave was created.
Everyone rushed to invest in his factory, and everyone rushed to lend him the silver.
And so it goes!
Even Su Yu took the public opinion of more than 100,000 people and coerced the imperial court.
Su Yao's establishment of a factory is no longer a matter of one person, but a matter of more than 100,000 people in the capital.
Many people have invested their life savings into it.
At this time, who can call a stop?
It is absolutely impossible for Su Shun to be this bad person, and the only one who can stop is him, the emperor.
However, the emperor did not have the courage to do so.
So he was very dissatisfied with Su Yu and felt that the other party was forcing him.
coerced countless public opinions to persecute him as the emperor.
For this result, Su Yu certainly expected it.
However, it is impossible to truly be good for me and me politically.
If you want to do something, you must be opposed.
We can only try to ease it as much as possible and not let this confrontation become intense.
The great eunuch Zeng Lu came to Su Yu and said, "Brother, the emperor said that he was tired. β
Su Yu said: "Please tell the emperor that the minister is about to leave the capital and return to Jiangxi, and there are important things, be sure to report it, and ask the emperor to take the time to meet." β
When Zenglu heard this, his heart suddenly became even more sorrowful.
Brother Su Yu is indeed strong.
Generally, such a feudal official, when he asks for a second time, the emperor will say that he will not see him, and then he will tear his face.
And the emperor usually gives dignity to the feudal officials, even in the face of a strong man like Zeng Guofan, he must also give dignity.
So, Zenglu entered the report again.
The Emperor said, "Let him in." β
After a while, Su Yu entered the Sanxi Hall and saluted: "The ministers see the emperor, long live long live long live." β
The emperor glanced at Su Yu, picked up the book and read a few pages lightly.
For about two minutes, he ignored Su Yu.
Su Yu was silent and respectful.
As if after reading these pages, the emperor closed the book and placed it on the table.
"Su Yu, you have such a great ability, you have gathered more than 100,000 people to invest money in your factory, and there are still 20,000 or 30,000 people who want to follow you south, if anyone dares to oppose it, who will not be able to get along with the people, is that so?" The emperor said lightly.
Su Yu said: "The minister doesn't dare, the minister is afraid." β
The emperor said: "Have you ever thought about what kind of shock it will cause if you fail to set up a factory and lose all this money? This is the coffin book of more than 100,000 people, and it is their life savings. Can you take responsibility for failure? By that time, aren't you going to finish it for you? β
"Su Yu, don't think that I am against you and snub you, I am worried about you."
The emperor looked bitter.
Su Yu said: "The minister is young and vigorous, which makes the emperor worried. β
In fact, at this point, the arrow is ready to be sent and has to be sent.
It's useless to say anything.
Unless the emperor directly decrees, Su Lu is not allowed to set up a factory.
Stop me at once and return the money to the people.
But he is not such a strong emperor, otherwise he would have stopped at the beginning, and he would not have waited for things to evolve to the point where they are now.
"After you arrive in Jiangxi, you have to have a good relationship with Hu Linyi, don't be too embarrassed." The emperor said: "When you and the Hunan army are together, you must compete with each other and improve each other." β
"I said before that when Tianjing is recovered, I will still hold a bigger triumphal ceremony for you, and I will personally go to Deshengmen to pick you up, this still counts."
Su Yu bowed down and said: "The minister must do his best to live up to the emperor's grace." β
The emperor said: "You just said to Zenglu that there are still important things to report, what's the matter?" β
Su Yu said: "The last time the ministers negotiated with the British, after the British unconditionally withdrew from the army, the court and local ministers were a little arrogant and underestimated the enemy, and they were even more blindly tough, which may be a curse rather than a blessing." β
If you want to talk about this Qing court official, it is definitely not a record of eating.
At that time, when the British army occupied Guangzhou and the fleet was approaching the sea of Tianjin, the government and the opposition were panicked.
Wait until Su Yu negotiated with the British, and the British withdrew unconditionally.
After a brief period of shock, he became arrogant again, thinking that this Englishman was a complete paper tiger.
The last time the British withdrew unconditionally, it was not at all how powerful Su Yu was, it was the British who were going to withdraw from the army.
Whoever talks about it, as long as it is tough to the end, the result will be the same.
So, Ye Mingchen and He Guiqing were tough one by one.
Especially Ye Mingchen, because he was arrested and imprisoned by the British, suffered for the country, did not damage the national dignity, and even in prison, he angrily reprimanded Yangyi, so the emperor did not depose him, let him make meritorious service for his crimes, and acted as the governor of Liangguang.
Ye Mingchen in order to keep his official position and save his reputation.
Therefore, he desperately expressed his toughness to the British, and sent letters at every turn to reprimand the Bao Ling, demanding that the British pay reparations, and apologized for sending troops to Guangzhou.
And every time he was tough on the British Empire, he had to report to the court about what results he had obtained.
The whole imperial court also believed it, and felt that the reason why the Yangyi withdrew at that time was that they did not dare to really fight, and it was also revealed that among the British troops who captured Guangzhou at that time, there were only more than 2,000 regular soldiers, and the rest were mercenaries, and there were ordinary British people who wore military uniforms and faked them.
Of course, this is true in a sense, but what is the use?
And Ye Mingchen is also much more restrained than in history, in history, he was tough, and all kinds of successes to the emperor were even more outrageous, and he claimed that he had won the battle against the British in three days.
But in this way, the imperial court also greatly underestimated the will of the British and caused trouble.
In fact, now the emperor and many important ministers of the imperial court also feel that the last time the British unconditionally withdrew from the army, it seems that it was not entirely Su Liu's ability, but the British instigation.
So some time ago, Bao Ling and Ba Xia Li were extremely annoyed and depressed.
How can there be such an ignorant crowd?
I don't understand anything, I just go up blindfolded, one race and one tough.
Do you know what kind of talent, what effort, and what price Sir Su Yu paid to get us out of the army?
Even, the political fate of the two of us is tied.
You don't cherish it, but you keep tearing it down.
Therefore, Bao Ling's side made preparations with both hands.
First-hand preparations, following the hardline attitude of Congress, to push for war against China.
But this will not help his political fate, at most it will only make up for it.
The second hand preparation, fully promote Plan B, and continue to carry out political binding with Su Yao.
Su Yu said: "In particular, Ye Mingchen, the acting governor of Liangguang, has repeatedly provoked the British, which is very dangerous, and I hope the emperor will order him to stop in moderation." β
When the emperor heard this, his heart was immediately unhappy.
Co-authoring can only you Su Yu achieve a diplomatic victory? Nothing else?
You are tough to get the British to withdraw from the army, you have the ability.
Someone else is tough on the British, that's a provocation? That's the bad thing?
Insist that others be weak to set off your toughness?
But since Su Yu said it, the emperor said: "The next time Ye Mingchen plays a fold, when I reply, I will admonish him to be careful." β
This sentence can be regarded as the emperor's gift of dignity to Su Yu.
Su Yu said: "Your Majesty, when the minister goes to Jiangxi, you can stop by to Guangzhou and help Governor Ye deal with the dispute with the British, so as not to cause a big disaster." β
The emperor frowned and said, "No need, you just focus on your Jiangxi affairs." β
This sentence is not welcome.
However, what Su Yu wanted was for the emperor to say this.
When the next drastic change occurs, don't blame me, Emperor, Su Yu didn't warn me in advance.
And this time, no one will turn the tide for you.
Su Yu said again: "If there is really a specific diplomatic conflict, the emperor will also issue an order to let Governor Ye refrain from intensifying the contradiction and destroying the good situation." β
The emperor finally ran out of patience, picked up the book and said, "Restraint? Or compromise appeasement? That will only make the Yangyi press forward step by step, and this group of Yangyi will be used to bluffing, don't you know? You know best. β
"Okay, I haven't denied the credit for your last negotiation with the British, but don't be cautious about choking on food, holding a jade bowl carefully, for fear of falling, and don't dare to use it."
That's a suffocating statement.
This is to say that after Su Yu successfully negotiated with the British, he cherished this result too much, so he did everything possible to provide it and not let people touch it.
It's similar to saying that the sixth teacher occupies Sun Wukong and doesn't let go.
Su Yu said: "The minister understands, the minister retires!" β
"Please take care of the dragon's body, Your Majesty!"
The emperor said: "You are the same, work hard in Jiangxi, I am waiting for you to make new contributions." β
"Zenglu, you send Su Lu out of the palace on my behalf."
The eunuch Zenglu stepped forward and said, "Brother Su Yu, the slave maid led you out of the palace." β
Su Yu said: "There is Father-in-law Lao." β
Then, the eunuch Zenglu led the way in front.
When he walked to a place where no one was around, Zenglu looked at Su Yu with tears in his eyes and said, "Brother, how can it be like this?" β
"It's useless to blame the slaves!"
This kind of thing, even if Zenglu has a heart, there is no way, after all, they are just eunuchs, and the eunuchs of the Qing Dynasty have no power.
That is, Li Lianying in the back, can be regarded as having some power, and it is also Cixi's complete dependent.
Su Yu said: "As long as my father-in-law is willing, then our previous friendship will never change." β
Zenglu said: "Of course we hope to make friends with a hero like Brother." β
Su Yu said: "That's it, father-in-law take care." β
Zenglu bowed down and said, "Brother take care." β
Leaving the palace, Su Yu looked at the starry sky in the sky.
This conversation with the emperor can be said to have ended unhappily.
He knew what the emperor wanted to hear.
It's nothing more than that after the minister gets the silver, he will not run a big industry, but will use it to train the army, and then within two years, he will destroy the rebellion for the emperor and recover Nanjing.
But Su Yu didn't say a word, but resolutely took a resolute attitude that he must run the factory well.
Especially later, Su Yu admonished the emperor to let Ye Mingchen's side rein in and not provoke the British.
This made the emperor even more unhappy.
However, Su Yu did not regret it at all.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Inside the study of the princess's house.
Two people explore each other to their heart's content.
With your hand and letter, measure each other's scale, depth.
In the end, Princess Shou'an couldn't help but tremble: "Good person, come on, don't torture me. β
Then, she craned her neck and couldn't make a sound for a long time.
Su Yu was also submerged a little bit.
Then, the weather changed from gentle and drizzly to violent storm. From moisturizing things silently, to the rain hitting the plantains, and finally to the waves crashing on the shore.
Finally.
When the tide is about to rise, Su Yu wants to leave.
Princess Shou'an said: "Don't, it's inside, it's inside." β
During the security period, it is not so accurate, what if there is really one.
Afterwards!
The two men were silent.
"Xiaoyu, you have great ability and high vision, don't be angry with him, he will figure it out himself in the future." Princess Shou'an said softly.
Regarding the changes in the relationship between Su Yu and the emperor, Princess Shou'an is the clearest perceiver.
Even the emperor had a lot of criticism about her.
Because Shou An helped Su Yu raise money.
Of course, the emperor's temperament did not say anything about Shou'an directly, but only said that the worries of the first emperor were not groundless, Su Yu was young and vigorous, and he was not clear about many things, so you have to persuade more.
Then, the emperor vaguely proposed that something had been sent over from the Naiman Palace.
When she heard this, Princess Shou'an was even slightly stunned.
Then, she understood.
She won't be in the capital for long.
This time, she openly stood up for Su Yu, entertained the Mongolian princes, and raised money for him, which attracted a lot of gossip.
"I originally wanted to stay until you and the sixth sister got married, but now it seems that I can't stay anymore." Princess Shou'an said: "After you leave the capital, I will go back to Mongolia, and after you and the sixth sister come back, I will come back." β
Su Yu said: "When the candle night in the cave room is over, will we meet again?" β
Princess Shou'an squirted: "You bad embryo, what are your ideas, don't think that I don't know, so I won't satisfy you, a beast." β
Then, she blushed slightly.
"Say you're an animal, you're really an animal, it's just a mention, you're like that, you're here to mess with me again."
Su Yu said: "Then do you want it, or don't you want it?" β
There is no need to answer.
Someone has already started eating people.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Wang Chenggui immediately passed the news of Su Yu's meeting with the emperor to Su Shun.
Du Han said: "Su Yu'er, you have fallen out of favor. β
Zaigaki said: "Why? It's a good situation, why did he do this? β
Su Shun said lightly: "I missaw this person before, I thought he was a fortunate minister, but I didn't expect him to be a godminister." β
For a time, Su Shun's henchmen were complicated.
I don't know if it's admiration or complaining.
On the one hand, he felt that Su Yu was awesome and did what he wanted to do but didn't dare to do.
On the one hand, I feel that Su Yu is naΓ―ve, the Holy Favor is the most important thing, if you lose the Holy Dependent, what else can you do?
Although he is smart, his vision is still not far-sighted enough.
Who knows, the turbulent upheaval is just around the corner.
At that point, everything will be turned upside down.
Du Han said: "If we lose our holy family, should we do something to him?" β
Su Shun said: "What do you do to him?" Don't forget, in addition to being a favored vassal, he also has an army at hand, don't mess with him. β
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Next!
My sister-in-law came back in the dust.
He brought a bill of exchange worth three million six hundred thousand taels of silver.
Her family, completely poured it all in.
At this time, the salt merchants still have good days, but they are far from what they used to be.
So the Bai family chose to make a desperate bet and invest in Su Yao.
"Xiaoyu, not only will I go to Jiangxi with you this time, but my father will also send out most of the people in the family."
"Father's side will also stop most of the business and wait to do things for you in Jiangnan."
The entire Bai family was tied to Su Yu's chariot.
Then, Bai Feifei said: "When I returned to Beijing this time, I was followed by a boat, with lanterns written in Hu characters, because men and women are different, so it is not easy to meet, but if I guess correctly, it should be Hu Xueyan." β
Really.
Only half an hour later!
Outside, Li Qi said: "My lord, Hu Xueyan asks to see you." β
Su Yu was about to go out to greet him, and Su Quan said, "Second brother, let's go." β
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Inside the study!
Hu Xueyan respectfully kowtowed to Su Yu and said, "Grass people, meet Lord Futai!" β
Su Yu said: "Guang Yong, this journey has been hard. β
Hu Xueyan said: "I don't dare to talk about hard work, but I didn't expect that the time was so urgent, Xueyan hurried to raise 1.2 million silver, I can't help the adults, I'm ashamed!" β
One million two thousand taels?
Hu Xueyan is so generous.
You must know that his family business is not big at this time, although Wang Youling's official position is not small, but his influence is not enough.
Last time, with the help of Su Yu, he survived the impeachment crisis and successfully sat on the political envoy of Jiangxi.
Next, he will also become the governor of Zhejiang.
But this person is not a political strongman, so he cannot be a real big backer.
A few years later, Hu Xueyan and Zuo Zongtang achieved each other, and at that time, he could be regarded as a rich country.
And now 1.2 million taels is extremely difficult for him Hu Xueyan.
Su Yu said: "Guang Yong, did you squeeze out this silver from the money bank?" β
Hu Xueyan said: "Yes." β
Su Yu said: "Can it be flattened?" β
Hu Xueyan said: "If you can level it out, knowing that adults have to do big things, of course Xueyan will do his best." This money is lent to adults for three years, without any interest, and after three years, it will be discussed! β
"In addition, after the completion of the adult factory, I will do my best to use the snow rocks."
Su Yu looked at each other.
This time, I opened a factory and did foreign affairs.
It's really going to be of great use to you Hu Xueyan.
It's not just a big use, but it will make you a big man in the southeast, years in advance.
Zuo Zongtang can't let you really take off, but I can.
Now, the silver in Su Yu's hand, added up, has been about 11.5 million taels.
This greatly exceeded the 10,000,000,000 taels required by the Basha ceremony.
The remaining 1.5 million taels can just be used to do a few major things in a row.
At this time, Li Qi walked in and said, "My lord, the eight adults are here." β
Hu Xueyan said: "My lord, that Guang Yong has temporarily resigned. β
Su Yu said: "Guang Yong, don't be in a hurry to go back, I will soon go south by boat, you follow me." β
Hu Xueyan was overjoyed and said, "Yes, my lord." β
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
The basha salute was still hidden within the cloak.
After entering Su Yu's study, he hugged him greatly.
"My friend, you are amazing, your appeal is too strong, you are simply a hero, you have tied hundreds of thousands of people to your chariot." Ba Xia said: "In addition, you and your emperor have undergone some kind of qualitative change, right? β
Su Yu said: "Yes." β
Ba Xia said: "I was just about to tell you that something big happened in Guangzhou, a big thing. β
"Then, like a tsunami, this big event will spread first to Hong Kong and then to London."
"And then, those of them, will see the wrath of the British Empire, the monstrous wrath, the fury that is greater than it was a dozen years ago."
"What's even more ridiculous is that your Governor Ye still thinks this is a trivial matter, and even reported the victory to your emperor, and I believe that the good news is on the way."
"No one can save the situation."
"But my friend, it's none of your business, and it's not about us." "Because we are going to take a greater path." β
"Sir Su Yu, not only have you infected more than 100,000 people, but you have also infected me."
"I saw your will, and I strengthened my will. Although your court knows nothing, the situation on the British side is now very urgent, and we must race against politics and the pace of war. β
"Tomorrow we will leave the capital and go to Shanghai, I seem to be covered with my eyes and ears in the capital, and I have no access to the latest situation. It is also clear where the pace of the war has gone. β
"So my friend, are you ready? Leave with me tomorrow? β
Su Yu said: "Of course! β
Ba Xia said: "Then see you tomorrow, we will go to a political feast together, believe me, you will have a great harvest!" β
Then, Bashali couldn't wait to leave.
Tomorrow is leaving, and he also has a lot of things to arrange.
Su Yu also has a lot of things to arrange.
Tomorrow he will leave the capital and travel to Shanghai to secretly participate in a political feast.
And at this moment, Bai Feifei came in and said, "Xiao Yu, Gui'er is here?" β
Su Yong was stunned.
Gui'er, this time?
Su Yu rushed to the backyard and said, "Good Gui'er, see me at this time, what's the matter?" β
Gui'er said: "Master, Concubine Yi wants to see you and say that there is something important." β
Yi Guifei? At this time?
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Note: The second update is sent, and this chapter has been written for a long time.
Gentlemen, you ...... Do you still have a monthly pass? Blushing begging for a ticket.
