Chapter 170: The Last Meeting of Su Yu and the Emperor!
Su Yu's meaning is very obvious, you are not ministers, we all have no official business, so whether we want to see you or not, it is completely dependent on our respective friendships.
You, the Minister of Military Aircraft, are learning to walk Kuangyuan, and we have already had a dirty time before.
The governor of Liangjiang is nominally my boss, but he has no power to give orders to me, only the power of moderation.
If you want to talk to me, then say it well, don't put on a show, don't take Joe.
At this time, Su Yu was indeed so busy that he flew.
Kuang Yuan and He Guiqing, who ate the closed door, were extremely angry.
But after the anger, there is nothing to be done.
You came to ask Su Yu in private, did you have any orders on your body?
Besides, this is still in Su Yao's territory.
After a long while, He Guiqing closed his eyes in the sedan chair and took a deep breath.
At this time, his face was full of anger.
But when he opened his eyes, he was already smiling.
Then, he walked out of the official sedan chair and scolded the staff: "How many times have I told you, what kind of shelf?" I have a deep friendship with Brother Su Yu, where do you need these false courtesies. ”
Then, he walked directly towards the prefect's yamen.
He was the governor of Liangjiang, and if he wanted to go in, of course no one could stop him.
Li Qi bent down and led the way in front.
Kuang Yuan, the servant of the ministry, was angry and disdainful in his heart, you He Guiqing is the governor of Liangjiang, you really don't want any face, so you do it yourself.
But He Guiqing went in, and he had to go in with him.
………………………………………………
Outside the study.
He Guiqing arched his hand from afar: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Brother Su Yu, I was so busy at your wedding banquet last time that I couldn't be there in person to apologize to you." ”
This is the first to take people, give a step for Su to drag down.
I spoke up so far away, you Su Yu always have to give me a face, come out of the study to greet me.
Su Yu got up, walked out, greeted him, and said: "Master He is coming, and it is the crime of missing the welcome and being a lower official." ”
He Guiqing said: "Where, where." The official is uninvited, it's the governor's fault. ”
Then, seeing the mountains of documents in Su Yu's study, he sighed and said, "Lord Su Yu, it's really a good opportunity." ”
Su Yu said: "My lord, please sit, please sit!" ”
Next, Li Qi sent tea, and Su Yu personally poured tea for the two.
He Guiqing is trying to organize the language, thinking about how to start the conversation.
According to the original plan, it must have been intimidated first, saying how angry and angry the emperor is with you now. No matter how we persuade us, the emperor will not allow you to go to negotiate with the British, for the sake of your Su Liu's future, we can only find you privately, you hurry up to ask for a guilty fold, and then Mao Sui will recommend himself, and we will go back to the capital to beat the side drum for you.
In this way, you go to negotiate with the British, and everyone will be happy.
But Su Yu went straight to the point and said: "The two adults are here, but they are here to negotiate with the British?" ”
He Guiqing said: "Lord Su Yu is really smart, you negotiated with the British before and let the other party withdraw unconditionally, which really shamed me and Ye Mingchen." In terms of diplomacy, Lord Su Yu said second, and no one dared to say first. ”
"Now that the British have sent troops on a large scale, captured the prefectures of Guangzhou, and even have the momentum of expanding the war, at such a time of crisis, it is necessary for Su Yu to turn the tide, I can't wait, I am willing to recommend Su Yu."
"Who is such a heavy responsibility, Lord Shesu?"
The governor of Liangjiang still chose the high-hat tactic.
Su Yu was silent for a moment and said: "The two adults know me Su Yu, I have always been upright and will never beat around the bush. ”
That's true.
"Two adults, I can't do anything to negotiate this matter with the British!" Su Lu cut the railway.
Kuang Yuan, the servant of the ministry, said: "Lord Su Yu, are you talking about negative things?" ”
Su Yu said: "Lord Kuang Yuan, we have dealt with each other a few times, do I seem to be a person who speaks negative words?" ”
He Guiqing said: "Lord Su Yu, a few years ago, you negotiated with the British to withdraw the army unconditionally, and such achievements are obvious to all. ”
Su Yu said: "This time, that time." ”
He Guiqing and Kuang Yuan were silent for a while.
He Guiqing, the governor of Liangjiang, said: "Lord Su Yu, there is a sentence I don't know whether to say or not. ”
Su Yu said, "Your Excellency the Governor, please speak." ”
He Guiqing said: "It's one thing to be able to do it, and it's another thing to do it or not." For example, I, He Guiqing, was incompetent in diplomacy, but the emperor asked me to do it, and I was still obliged to go to Guangzhou to talk to the British, even if I almost lost my life there. ”
Kuang Yuan said: "Yes, for the king's worries, for the country's errands, how can you pick and choose, feel difficult, feel that it will fail, don't do it, how can there be such a reason, worthy of the emperor's Longen?" ”
Su Yu said: "Not only that, it may be better for others to talk, but it will even backfire if I talk about it." ”
As soon as these words came out, Kuang Yuan snorted.
You're a liar.
Immediately, Kuang Yuan said: "Su Yu, we came to Jiujiang to find you, on the surface, it is the meaning of Lord Su Shun, but in fact, whose mind it is, you should be very clear in your heart." ”
He Guiqing said: "Lord Su Yu, since this is the case, then let's talk thoroughly." Now you take the initiative to play the chapter, and Mao recommended yourself, no matter whether you can negotiate it or not, at least you have expressed your loyalty to the emperor. If you have this attitude, how disappointed and angry will the emperor be when he knows about it? ”
Su Yu said: "Every word I say is from the bottom of my heart. As I said, if it is useful to talk about it, it is naturally incumbent. Even if it is useless for me to talk about it, it will fail, and it is incumbent upon me. But if I go to talk about it, it backfires, so I can't go. ”
Kuang Yuan said: "Lord Su, you have thought about it!" You're sure it's this reply, you'd better make sure again, or it won't be too late until we leave this study. ”
Su Yu said: "I never regret what I said, and I will never change my words!" ”
Suddenly, Kuang Yuan stood up angrily and said, "Farewell!" ”
Then, I left the study directly.
He Guiqing, the governor of Liangjiang, said: "Lord Su Yu, this is a great opportunity, but you gave it up yourself, say goodbye!" ”
Then, too, he left in a huff.
After the two left, Shen Baozhen came out of the cubicle and said worriedly: "My lord, after these two people return to Beijing, they will definitely add fuel and vinegar, really...... Doesn't it matter? ”
Su Yu said: "It doesn't matter. ”
He had said before that between now and 1860 would be the time to test his political and military maneuvers.
Even the more extreme micro-manipulation.
It's not that he likes to play like this, but that the situation has to be like this.
Then, Su Yu smiled and said, "Mr. Youdan, believe me. The current situation can only be regarded as breeze. The real moment of truth is three or four months later. We're going to start preparing for big things now, and by that time, we'll barely be able to count it as a big storm. ”
Shen Baozhen really couldn't get up easily, in his opinion, it was already thrilling now.
And Su Yu said that in three or four months, he will have to do big things, which is the real critical moment.
And he felt that now was the moment of truth.
………………………………………………
He Guiqing and Kuang Yuan did not stop in Jiujiang, did not even eat a meal, and left directly by boat.
Filled with infinite rage.
Escorted by Qing gunboats, the two arrived in Yangzhou.
Kuang Yuan once again summoned Wang Shiqing, the new commander of the new army.
"Wang Shiqing, the emperor is as kind to you as a mountain, so at the critical moment, you have to bear it."
"What do you do if something happens in the future?"
Wang Shiqing said: "I, Wang Shiqing, swear to be loyal to the Jiangshan Sheji of the Qing Dynasty. ”
Kuang Yuan patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, good, the official didn't misread you, and the emperor didn't misjudge you." ”
Wang Shiqing's face twitched.
Then, the two of them talked with Tomin Ami, the commander of the Jiangbei camp, for a few hours.
Tomina, no matter what you say, I just nod my head, I just be good.
I'm Tomina, loyal to the emperor and loyal to the Qing Dynasty.
But after the two left, he couldn't help but take a sip hard, and he was extremely worried.
Worried about what will happen in the future, where will he go?
Then, He Guiqing and Kuang Yuan took a big boat, went north along the canal, and returned to the capital!
……………………………………………………
Forbidden City, inside the harem!
"Palm!"
With an order, an old woman slapped it down a few times.
Zhaobu's younger sister, Concubine Lian (Bingbing)'s gorgeous face, suddenly became red and swollen.
The corners of his mouth were bloodshot.
At the same time, there were bursts of screams outside.
The palace maid next to Concubine Lian was playing the board, and several eunuchs made a heavy hand, directly beating her palace maid to the point that her buttocks and legs were bloody and blurred.
Because of her outstanding appearance, although she has not been so favored recently, she is still second to none.
Although I have been taught a few times before, I have never been slapped in the face like this.
She has been pampered since she was a child, where has she ever been humiliated like this.
Suddenly, the whole person was about to explode.
And the reason is that the palace maid next to her said, that person is not a queen yet, so he is so domineering, and he has to become a queen?
Concubine Lian couldn't help but reply, there will be rain when the sky is mad, and woe to people who are crazy.
This is a private grievance, I never thought that she would be betrayed, and this word reached the ears of Concubine Yi.
So, it was this catastrophe.
Concubine Yi reported to the queen.
The queen didn't know what to do, saying that Concubine Lian was young and ignorant, and she had taught her a few words verbally.
Then, Concubine Yi ordered a verbal lesson.
slapped Concubine Lian six times.
After the queen heard it, it shouldn't be angry or funny for a while.
But Concubine Yi's son is raised under her knees, and she doesn't want to cause any unpleasantness with the other party, so she can only acquiesce that this is her own will.
………………………………………………
Inside the Sanxi Hall!
After He Guiqing and Kuang Yuan returned to Beijing, they did not go to see Su Shun, but directly confronted the saint.
Inform the emperor of everything that happened in Jiujiang.
The emperor said angrily: "Su Yu, is that really what you said? ”
He Guiqing said: "Your Majesty, it's true. ”
Kuang Yuan said: "Su Yu is arrogant, he first let me and Lord He Guiqing eat behind closed doors, and after we go to see him in person, we will make it clear to him from the bottom of our hearts." said that for the sake of Jiangshan Sheji, you Su Yu wanted to recommend yourself. Regardless of whether you can accomplish this errand or not, at least your loyalty must be shown, so that you can repay the emperor's kindness. As a result, Su Yu categorically refused, saying that he could not do anything. ”
He Guiqing said on the side: "Your Majesty, the ministers and the others have said all the good things about him. The minister said that he was not capable, but he was still obliged to resign from Guangzhou to negotiate with Yangyi. You Su Yu is tall, and you surpass me He Guiqing too much, but you are pushing three obstacles there, is this worthy of the emperor's grace from heaven and earth? Could it be that you have a grudge? ”
The emperor trembled and said, "What did Su Yu say?" ”
He Guiqing said: "Su Yu gave the minister a ridiculous reason, saying that if he went to negotiate, it would be counterproductive. ”
"Hahahaha......" the emperor said angrily, "Don't you even bother to find a reason?" Is it even so perfunctory to refuse? ”
Then, the emperor pointed at He Guiqing and Kuang Yuan and scolded angrily: "Who let you go? Who told you to go to Su Yu? I said that I am not allowed to look for him, could it be that he is the only one in the entire Qing Dynasty? Just one of his capable ministers? Virtuous ministers? ”
"Okay now, not only are you ashamed, but even I am ashamed of you?"
"Hahaha, yes, that's good."
"I am so important, so trusting, so gracious, I actually raised a white-eyed wolf."
"That's great."
"Summoning Su Shun and others into the palace!"
…………………………………………
More than half an hour later, Su Shun and the others entered the palace again.
After hearing Kuang Yuan and He Guiqing's reply, Su Shun and Duanhua and the others also seemed to can't believe their ears.
"Su Yu really said that?" Su Shun asked.
The emperor angrily pointed at Su Shun and said, "Su Shun, what did you do?" You've done a good job. ”
Suddenly, Su Shun quickly knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty.
"I kept saying, don't look for him, don't look for him, did you take my words as a deaf ear? Now it's okay, people still think that the Qing Dynasty can't leave him, and they are still shaking, how can you let me have face? ”
Then, the emperor said, "Let's discuss, what should I do?" ”
Kuang Yuan said: "Your Majesty, please punish Su Yao severely." ”
Du Han said: "Your Majesty, please punish Su Yao severely." ”
However, Su Shun knew the emperor's innermost thoughts at this time.
At this time, the emperor was completely incredulous, not only felt that he had been fatally betrayed, but also felt ridiculous, and his heart did not even want to believe it.
even angered him Su Shun.
And this is not at all in line with Su Yu's consistent character.
Su Shun knew that the most important thing now was to appease the emperor's heart.
"Your Majesty, the minister has a few heartfelt words that I want to say to you." Su Shun knelt down and said.
The Emperor was a little quieter and said, "You all go out." ”
Suddenly, in the entire Sanxi Hall, there were only Su Shun and the emperor.
Su Shun said: "Your Majesty, the minister and Su Yu are political enemies, so the minister will definitely not have any favoritism towards Su Yu." ”
Of course, the emperor knew this.
For a long time, Su Shun's party has not dealt with Su Yu, especially Du Han, who regards Su Yu as a mortal enemy.
Su Shun said: "Su Yu is arrogant, and even extreme. Even if he knew that the emperor didn't like foreign affairs, it was true that he wanted to set up a factory. But if you want to say that this person despises the emperor, the minister doesn't believe it. If he was resentful and refused to negotiate with the British, the minister would not believe it. ”
"He Guiqing messed up his own errand, so it is logical that he wants to step on Su Yu to get himself away."
"If you want to know if Su Yu despises the emperor, despises the court, and has resentment, it's very simple, just directly order him to be summoned to Beijing." Su Shun said: "If he really has a different heart, at this moment, he will definitely do everything possible to prevaricate and refuse to enter Beijing." If he is willing to enter Beijing, it proves that what he said may really come from the public heart. ”
"And after he enters Beijing, no matter what the emperor wants to do, it will be easy."
The emperor gradually calmed down and said, "In this case, give him another chance." Send an envoy to Jiujiang, and Zhao Su dragged into Beijing to face the saint. ”
Su Shun said: "The emperor is sage." ”
The emperor said: "If he doesn't come, no matter what the reason, it is a dissenting heart, then don't blame me for being ruthless." ”
…………………………………………
After Su Shun and the others retreated.
The emperor was still full of anger and a mess, and walked towards the harem.
There was no direction, and almost instinctively walked to the palace of the lotus concubine.
"The concubines see the emperor, please say hello to the emperor." Bingbing knelt on the ground to greet her, and her originally gorgeous and compelling face was red and swollen at this time.
The emperor frowned and said, "What's the matter?" ”
Bingbing cried: "Your Majesty, please call the shots for your concubines." ”
Next, she was aggrieved and told the story.
The emperor frowned suddenly, this concubine Yi was too presumptuous, my favorite concubine said that she would slap her mouth.
"Wang Chenggui, go check!"
Wang Chenggui immediately ran to Concubine Yi to ask.
After a while, he came back and whispered in the emperor's ear: "Your Majesty, the master of the lotus concubine was also implicated by the palace maid around her, and the palace maid was talkative, saying that Concubine Yi is not a queen now, so she is so arrogant, she will become a queen in the future, and she will become the queen mother, so she has to do it?" ”
These words are completely heart-wrenching.
When the emperor heard the word Queen Mother, his eyes were full of anger.
Suddenly, he said coldly to Concubine Lian: "You deserve it, I see that you are beaten lightly." ”
Then, he said, "What about the gossiping? Pull it out, the rod is dead, the rod is dead! ”
Bingbing suddenly looked at the emperor in front of him in disbelief as if he had been struck by lightning.
The previous favor seems to have completely come to naught.
Wang Chenggui gave an order, and several eunuchs entered the palace of the lotus concubine like wolves and tigers, and dragged the injured palace maid out.
Severely reprimanded.
Within two hits, the palace maid howled miserably and was killed directly.
Concubine Lian was stupid.
Why is this so? Why is this so?
Of course, she wouldn't know that Wang Chenggui had one more sentence in his report to the emperor.
That palace maid originally said that she would become a queen in the future?
One more sentence to become the queen mother?
That's completely different, it's a curse on the emperor.
Then, the emperor looked at Concubine Lian coldly and left directly.
Bingbing was full of indignation and fear, kneeling on the ground, motionless.
……………………………………
A few days later!
The envoy came to Jiujiang and entered the prefect's yamen.
"The emperor has a decree, and the governor of Jiangxi, Su Yu, receives the decree!"
Su Yu stepped forward and saluted.
"Fengtian carries the emperor's edict and says, Jiangxi Governor Su Yu will immediately enter Beijing to see me, and I will see this!"
Su Yu said: "Minister's order, thank you!" ”
The eunuch said, "Lord Su Yu, when will you enter Beijing?" ”
Su Yu said: "Wait for me to prepare a little." ”
…………………………………………
In the capital, there is an undercurrent.
Everyone is speculating whether Su Yu will enter Beijing.
Even Su Shun and others specially convened their henchmen to discuss the matter.
guess whether Su Yu will enter Beijing, and whether he dares to enter Beijing.
Du Han said: "This person has a different heart, and he definitely does not dare to enter Beijing." ”
Kuang Yuan said: "He didn't dare to enter Beijing, but he had a different intention, and he just happened to ask him for blame." ”
"I also think that he won't enter Beijing, and the reason is too easy to find, such as attacking Jiujiang against him, which is the best reason."
"As long as you don't want to enter Beijing, there are thousands of reasons."
Su Shun said coldly on the side: "What do you mean?" Do you want Su Yu to rebel so much? ”
After saying that, he also felt ridiculous.
Rebellion, what a distant word.
At this time, Su Shun's emotions towards Su Yu were really complicated.
Before, I didn't like it, and I was a little hostile.
But lately, I've had mixed feelings.
Su Shun has served the emperor all these years, and he has thoroughly figured out the sacred heart, so that the emperor obeys his words.
But everything he did was to cater to the Sacred Heart, and to some extent he also lost himself, and many of his ambitions could not be fulfilled.
But Su Liu, but he can ignore the saints and give full play to his inner ambitions.
With such a mind, Su Shun didn't know whether to admire or despise Su Yu's innocence.
………………………………………………
Chong'en at home!
The family was worried.
Chong'en said: "I am at a loss now. Yu Gong, I hope Su Yu will return to Beijing calmly. For personal reasons, I never want him to go back to Beijing. ”
"But how did things get to this point?"
Qingqing said on the side: "Because the faint king is incompetent." ”
When Chong'en heard this, he immediately wanted to speak and stopped, but after all, he didn't say anything.
………………………………
Jiujiang!
"My lord, you must not go back to Beijing." Shen Baozhen said.
"My lord, you must not go back to Beijing." Waita sermon.
Ting Ren, Shen Bao'er, Hong Renli, Bai Feifei, Hu Xueyan, Bai Yan and others all advised Su Yu not to return to Beijing.
Hong Ren said: "I will immediately contact Tianjing and let Lin Qirong lead the army to feign an attack on Jiujiang, so that there will be a good reason not to return to Beijing." ”
Shen Baozhen said: "If you want not to return to Beijing, you can find many reasons, and any reason is justified. ”
"And to say a damning word, as long as the rebel army is directed at Jiangxi, many passive situations will be reversed in an instant, and I believe that the Hunan army will also be willing to cooperate. Now Lord Zeng Guofan has quite a tacit understanding with us. ”
Su Yu said, "Mr. Hong, Mr. Youdan, follow me into the study." ”
Inside the study!
Shen Baozhen said: "My lord, is the storm coming?" ”
Su Yu shook his head and said, "No, it's still light now." ”
Shen Baozhen said: "It's already like this, is it still light?" ”
Su Yu said: "Of course. ”
Then, he looked at Hong Renli and said, "Continue to advance on your side, don't worry, everything is going according to the original plan." ”
Hong Ren said: "You, do you really want to enter Beijing?" ”
Su Yu said: "Of course. ”
Shen Baozhen said: "My lord, you must not, you are responsible for the whole great cause, how can you take risks?" ”
Su Yu said: "Where is the danger?" Not at all. ”
"I thought that I would never meet the emperor again, but I still have to see this last side."
"Even, now that things are a little off track, it may cause the whole overall situation to stall, which is very detrimental to our great cause, I want to go to Beijing to correct it and bring the whole situation back to the original track."
"I need to make everything go according to my plan, the critical time is stuck, it can't be sooner or later!"
For Su Yu's words, even Shen Baozhen couldn't understand them at this time.
Even, no one can understand it.
Because Su Yu is standing at a very high latitude and is pushing the whole thing, trying to control the whole situation.
Su Yu said: "I'll be back soon." ”
"You're all going according to plan."
"Mr. Hong, especially on your side, don't be disrupted, everything goes according to plan."
"Prepare for the big operation in three or four months."
Shen Baozhen bowed and said, "Obey!" ”
Hong Renli bowed down and said, "Obey!" ”
Then, Su Yu said: "Okay, go and do things." ”
After leaving, Shen Baozhen couldn't help but say, "Mr. Hong, don't you feel that this is a stormy sea?" ”
Hong Ren said: "I think it's stormy waves, but Su Yu said no." ”
Then, Hong Ren left and said, "Lord Shen, following Su Yu is so thrilling, have you ever regretted it now?" ”
Shen Baozhen said: "It's all in the same boat, all of us are in one boat, all of us are adults, we can only go to the soup and fight the fire, and no one can get off the boat." ”
Then, Shen Baozhen said: "I don't know if Mr. Hong still feels guilty, I don't know how Lord Su Yu compares to King Hong?" ”
Hong Ren said: "The difference between cloud and mud. ”
Shen Baozhen said: "I also feel the same way. ”
……………………………………………………
A few days later!
In the astonishment of many people, Jiangxi Governor Su Yu officially entered Beijing.
Kuang Yuan and Du Han couldn't help but say, "He, really dare to go back to Beijing?" ”
Then, Du Han couldn't help but enter the palace.
As a result, he was stopped by Su Shun.
"What to do? What are you panicking about? ”
"It's all this time, why can't you wait so much?"
And the emperor in the palace thought of many possibilities.
Su Yu did not enter Beijing, and found an absolutely qualified reason.
Or maybe Su Yu made all kinds of preparations, delayed for several days, and then entered Beijing.
But I really didn't expect it.
After receiving the holy decree, Su Yu almost did not delay and entered Beijing almost immediately.
Even before every time Su Yao entered Beijing, he went home first, and then entered the palace to face the saint.
And this time!
He didn't even go home, and went directly to the palace.
"Your Majesty, Su Yu asks to see you." The eunuch Zenglu said.
So fast? The emperor was stunned for a moment and said, "Let him in." ”
A moment later, Su Yu entered.
"Minister Su Yu see the emperor, long live, long live, long live!"
…………………………
Note: The first update was sent, and I thought about it for a long time, and I wrote it until half past eight in the morning today.
I still have the courage to ask for the monthly tickets of the princesses, and I strive to keep the top 50, thank you very much.
