It took a long time for the Emperor's mind to regain its senses.

Then, no words can describe the shock in his heart.

His first feeling was ridiculous, was he mistaken?

Or maybe it was an accident that capsized?

But Tomina's recital makes it clear that it was an attack, and a premeditated attack.

All of the Chincha guards died cleanly, and their heads were cut off.

And the corpses were all charred.

Although it is not entirely certain whether De Xing Ah and Weng Tongshu are dead, they are basically true.

Just this moment.

The emperor's mind was completely occupied by this matter.

Even the fact that the Yangyi army was less than 300 miles away from the capital was forgotten.

Because, he knew the extremely terrible consequences of this matter.

This is likely to mean that the imperial court has lost control of the southern provinces.

If such attacks are normalized.

So who will dare to walk the canal in the future?

Will the ministers of the future Qincha still dare to show up in the open?

Has such a thing happened since the beginning of this dynasty?

It was also the time of the rebellion of the three feudatories, right? But at that time, people were already preparing to rebel.

Could it be that there are also people in the south who are preparing to rebel?

After a long while, the emperor said, "Summon, Su Shun and others will meet you." ”

…………………………………………

More than half an hour later.

Su Shun, Mianyu, Du Han, Duanhua, Zaiyuan and other important ministers were all present.

The impact on these military aircraft officers was no less than that of the emperor.

Even for a while, no one dared to speak.

Especially the shock in Su Shun's heart made him speechless directly.

Previously, Du Han Kuangyuan and others had been exacerbating the contradictions and worsening the situation.

First, Dexing was recommended to replace Su Yu and become the deputy capital of the blue flag.

Then, he recommended Weng Tongshu to be the prefect of Jiujiang. In the end, he even asked Dexing'a as the minister of the Qin Mission to transfer Su Yao's new army in Yangzhou.

The so-called tentative offensive is becoming more and more intense.

At that time, Su Shun was against it in his heart, because he already knew a little about Su Yu's inner world.

He vaguely felt that Su Yu would not be restrained, and would react very strongly.

But...... I didn't expect it to be so strong.

Suddenly, he glared at Du Han fiercely, and then at Kuang Yuan.

Are you satisfied?

Are you satisfied with the result now?

What is the ambition of the bird? Do you know how big a thing Su Yu has to do?

Do you know how determined he is?

At this time, Du Han and Kuang Yuan were pale.

After a long while, the emperor said, "Who did it?!" ”

Twisted Army? Rebellious? Hunan Army? Su Yu?

In everyone's hearts, there is even a faint answer.

This is the section of the canal between Huai'an and Yangzhou, not the long-standing Yangtze River waterway.

Hair against the water division, rarely into the canal section.

And whether it is a rebellion or a twisting army, there is no enough reason to rob and kill Dexing'a and Weng Tongshu.

The only one who has a motive to kill is Su Yu!

However, they couldn't believe it at all.

Su Yu is not a crazy person, he is extremely smart, how could he do such a thing.

This...... Is it a rebellion?

The emperor said: "Did Su Yu do it?" ”

Below, no one answered.

Including Du Han, who has been slandering Su Yu, he didn't dare to answer yes.

Once the answer is yes, it is political qualitative.

You said that Su Yu murdered Weng Tongshu and Dexing, that is a rebellion.

Since it is a rebellion, the court will suppress it.

If you dare to directly announce Su Yu's murder of Qincha, Su Yu over there will have no choice but to rebel.

Can the imperial court afford the price of Su Yu's rebellion?

Can't stand it!

Who do you want to exterminate?

Tomina, Hechun, or Zeng Guofan?

Even, after thinking about it very seriously, everyone didn't believe that this was done by Su Yu at all.

This doesn't make sense.

It didn't come to this at all.

How could such a smart person as Su Yu do such a stupid thing?

Does someone want to frame Su Yu and completely separate Su Yu from the court, or force Su Yu to oppose him?

For example, the Hunan army has this motivation and ability.

But at this time, the jury is inconclusive.

Nor can the jury be reached.

After a long while, Du Han said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, the most important thing now is to negotiate with Yangyi and let Yangyi withdraw his troops. No matter what, let Yangyi retire after he retires. ”

"Someone created this tragedy, it is probably because we and Yangyi are in a big war, and some people think that my Qing Dynasty is going to be finished, so they dare to be so bold and do something shocking."

"The more this happens, the more we have to solve the problem of Yangyi. After Yangyi retreated, we concentrated our efforts to deal with this person and solve this matter. ”

Duhan didn't even dare to say who this man was.

The emperor said, "What if I must have an answer?" ”

Du Han said: "Look at two indicators, the first indicator, whether Su Yu's family is still in the capital." The second indicator is to send a eunuch to Jiujiang to announce the decree and take away Su Yu's title, or reduce Su Yu's title to test it. ”

"If Su Lu accepts the order, it will ...... It proves that he has no objections. Otherwise, he will react violently and stop all our temptations. ”

Another tentative offense?

However, at this time, even Su Shun felt that this was a good way.

After all, it was a eunuch who went to announce the decree, not a minister, and if he killed him, he would be killed.

"But even if it's a temptation, it's better to wait until after negotiating with Yangyi, and after Yangyi retreats."

"Until then, block the news and do nothing."

After Du Han finished speaking, Su Shun said: "The minister seconded the proposal." ”

Duanhua and others said: "The minister seconded the proposal." ”

Next, I can't think of anything to spend.

The emperor suddenly asked, "Do you want to send someone to surround Su Yu's family and put his whole family under house arrest?" ”

Suddenly, no one dared to reply again.

After a long while, someone said, "No." ”

If so, wouldn't that be a foregone conclusion?

Mianyu said: "Your Majesty, Su Yu's family is all old and weak, and they are in the inner city, whether they send troops or not, whether they are under house arrest, they are all the same, and they can't escape." Send someone to spy on it, that's it. ”

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

The Emperor nodded, he didn't want to let these courtiers go, but there was nothing more to talk about.

"Let's go!" The Emperor said.

After these courtiers left, the emperor was still extremely irritable.

It was as if there were a thousand words, as if there was a fire!

He wants an answer!

Even, he wanted to grab Su Yu's neck at this time, and yelled: "Did you do it?" Did you do it? ”

In this mood, he walked to the harem.

Came to Concubine Yi's palace.

"Your Majesty ......" Concubine Yi stepped forward to greet him.

Then, after seeing the emperor's face, Concubine Yi exclaimed in her heart.

What's going on here?

The emperor had never had such a complexion.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong?" Concubine Yi asked cautiously.

The emperor said: "The ministers of the Imperial Mission, Dexing A and Weng Tongshu, were robbed and killed in the canal section, and probably all of them died. ”

"Not a single mouth was left alive, all the heads were cut off, and the bodies were burned."

When the Emperor uttered these words, his voice was hoarse.

Suddenly, Concubine Yi was also shocked.

Of course, she knew that it was a big deal.

There will be an unprecedented blow to the majesty of the imperial court.

Who did it?

Isn't it Su Yu?

Suddenly, she was even glad in her heart that she had fallen out with Su Yu at the last moment.

As for whether Su Yu did it, she vaguely felt that it was.

The emperor said: "Do you think, did Su Yu do it?" ”

Concubine Yi was silent for a long time, and said in a trembling voice: "Concubine, I don't know!" ”

The emperor looked at Concubine Yi unexpectedly, because it was also an attitude to say that he didn't know at this time.

At this time, what he wanted to say seemed to have a thousand words, but he didn't know where to start.

So, he got up and left here and headed for the queen's Kunning Palace.

He was supposed to ride the chariot, but he didn't want to sit and just wanted to walk.

When he came to the queen's Kunning Palace, Niu Hulu was coaxing the prince to sleep.

Seeing that the emperor's face was so ugly, the queen hurriedly came out and poured a cup of tea for the emperor, and said softly: "Your Majesty, what's wrong?" ”

The emperor repeated the words of Concubine Heyi.

The queen's reaction was not as fierce as that of Concubine Yi.

Because she doesn't care that much about politics, she knows it's a big deal, a big deal, but she doesn't really want to care.

The emperor asked again, "Do you think Su Yu did this?" ”

The queen was stunned and said, "Probably not." ”

The emperor said, "Why do you say that? ”

The queen said: "Su Yu is so smart, how could he do such a thing." ”

The emperor's face was cold, and he was immediately very unhappy, he did not like such an answer.

Then, he got up angrily and walked straight away.

It's not that the emperor thinks that Su Yu did this matter, but that he is dissatisfied with the queen's attitude.

But...... The queen didn't care too much about the emperor's anger.

This person is often angry and often unhappy.

She doesn't care much about being favored or not, and she doesn't care much about harem power.

And her position as queen is unlikely to be threatened.

But she also has a shortcoming, that is, it is difficult to refuse the enthusiasm of others.

Recently, Concubine Lian has been too enthusiastic about her.

She was a little overwhelmed.

Concubine Yi is very powerful and scheming, and the queen is not afraid, because she doesn't care, and she doesn't bother to fight, so she is so indifferent.

However, this slightly socially phobic personality met a super E person like Concubine Lian.

That...... It's incredible.

Refused, and couldn't refuse.

can only let the other party invade their social world again and again.

And...... After getting along, she felt that Concubine Lian was also quite cute.

……………………………………………………

Tonight!

Many people are destined to go through sleepless nights.

Among them is Prince Horqin, monk Grinqin.

And then there's Boyan Nemohu.

Sheng Bao said: "Eldest nephew, you have been fighting with Su Yu for so long, do you think this is what Su Yu did?" ”

Boyan said in a trembling voice: "I don't know. ”

He really didn't know.

It seems that any indication points to Su Yu's doing, but in Boyan's opinion, Su Yu is very, very smart, and his methods of struggle are very clever.

Looking at the infighting in the new army, Su Yu not only squeezed out Boyan, but also completely stood on the moral high ground.

The same is true for squeezing out Zhaolin, not only did he not tear his face, but he also had the grace to save Zhaolin's life.

"But whether it was done by Su Yu or not, the result is the same." Boyan said: "This kind of thing, once the emperor has suspicions, he has already been convicted." ”

Katsuho said: "That's right, that's what happened. After Yangyi retreated, the emperor was determined to clean up Su Yu. ”

Then, Sheng Bao said: "Virtuous nephew, in your opinion, is this done by Su Yu?" You don't have to worry about any conditions, just say it from the heart. ”

Boyan shook his head and said, "I don't think so!" ”

"I even think that the probability of Zeng Guofan doing this matter is greater than that of Su Yu."

"Su Yu is extremely smart, there is no reason to do such a thing that the risks and benefits do not match at all."

……………………………………………………

The next day, above the court.

The Emperor's eyes were red, and he almost stayed awake all night.

Above the court, there were also many people with tired faces, and obviously they didn't sleep.

Tobe Shangshuweng did not go to court, because after hearing the bad news, he had already fainted.

However, today's court.

No one talked about it, not even a word.

Those towering imperial histories are also completely silent.

But the strange thing is that after a night of fermentation and thinking, many people feel that this is ...... It shouldn't have been done by Su Yu.

When they heard the news just now, everyone instinctively reacted first: This must have been done by Su Yu.

Because only he has the motivation and ability.

But after thinking about it for a long time, I felt more and more that it was not his doing.

At this time, the American and Russian ministers once again entered the court.

The two expressed their willingness to reconcile the contradictions between the Qing Dynasty and the British Empire.

Previously, the emperor had refused to receive the two ministers.

And now he has to meet with him, but whether to accept the mediation of the ministers of the two countries, the emperor has not yet relented.

……………………………………………………

At the same time, the city of Aihui in Heilongjiang.

After the Treaty of Nebuchu, Tsarist Russia was trying to secure ice-free ports in the Far East.

In the past few years, the Russian Navy has led the armed forces to establish bases in the lower reaches of the Heilongjiang River, and under the command of the Governor General of Eastern Siberia, it has actually completed the de facto occupation of the north bank of the upper reaches of the Heilongjiang River, the middle and lower reaches of the Heilongjiang River.

Now, a treaty is just around the corner to legalize these illegally seized lands.

And after Britain launched an invasion war against the Qing Dynasty, the Tsarist Russian Empire immediately waited for this golden opportunity.

The Russian governor of Eastern Siberia, Muravyov, took the opportunity to lead the Cossack army and advanced to the city of Aihui.

It made Aihui City, and even the entire Heilongjiang River, panic.

Over there, the British and French were attacking Tianjin, threatening the capital.

The army of Tsarist Russia here is about to attack Heilongjiang again.

However, the routine is the same as that of the British, which is to use war to threaten the Qing court to negotiate.

At this time, Heilongjiang General Yishan was a big celebrity.

In the First Opium War, the imperial court canonized him as the general of Jingrebell, and led the armies of several provinces to Guangdong to fight the British.

At that time, Yishan was majestic, claiming to make the British cry wolf, but after arriving in Guangdong, there was almost no fighting, and this gentleman directly surrendered with a white flag, and signed the "Guangzhou Peace Treaty".

After that, he was even more afraid of the British, and agreed to all the promises of the British.

Afterwards, he was escorted to Beijing and beheaded in prison.

However, the following year, it was activated by the imperial court again, and then he made a contribution to the Yarkand rebellion, and has been promoted.

But it can probably be seen from it that his various actions in Guangzhou are also the embodiment of Emperor Daoguang's will to a certain extent.

At this time, the Tsarist governor of Eastern Siberia, Muravyov, entered the city of Aihui by boat and negotiated with Yishan.

The governor kept saying that he had come to help the Qing resist the invasion of the British Empire and to defend his territory.

Therefore, the Qing Dynasty and Tsarist Russia were required to take the Heilongjiang River and the Ussuri River as natural boundary lines.

Yishan immediately objected strongly and said that the two sides had already signed the "Treaty of Nebuchu" and already had a de jure boundary line, and there was no need to change it.

The governor of Tsarist Russia expressed great regret and said that now that the British Empire is invading the Qing Dynasty, your Qing Dynasty is in danger and is likely to lose a large area of land, including even the Northeast.

So, in order to protect the territory of Tsarist Russia, we had to use military means when necessary.

This ridiculous reason is really rare in ancient times.

Yishan once again objected, saying that this was a matter between the Qing Dynasty and Britain and had nothing to do with Tsarist Russia.

As a result, the Russian governor was furious and immediately issued a military threat.

Yishan is limited to reply within two days.

Or say yes!

Or go to war!

According to the draft of the Russian governor-general, China would lose all the land north of the Heilongjiang River.

Of course, Yishan didn't dare to agree, and he couldn't agree.

At the end of the two-day period, the Russian governor came to negotiate again, issued an ultimatum, and forced Yishan to sign.

This Heilongjiang general is still unwilling to sign.

The Governor of Tsarist Russia sneered: "It seems that the British have made the right choice, for you Qing Guo, peace is useless, you can only understand the sound of artillery and bullets, this is what you found yourself!" ”

"General Yishan, I must tell you that not long ago we fought a war of astonishing scale in Crimea with Britain and France, in which both sides sent out a million troops. In this battle, the British and French countries died in our hands, as many as hundreds of thousands! ”

"So the combat effectiveness of our army, you should know very well that your Qing army's army is like paper paste in front of us, and it is vulnerable."

"And the result of the battle of Canton not long ago, you should know better than me, in just half a day, the British and French troops broke through your Canton city. General Yishan, do you think you can hold back my Cossack army? ”

"Once the war starts, you will only get a more humiliating defeat. How did Ye Mingchen, the governor of Liangguang, die? Don't you know? ”

After the threat of war, the Russian governor went away in a rage.

His last sentence made Yishan extremely frightened.

That evening!

The Russian army opened fire on the city of Aihui, opened fire!

Heilongjiang General Yishan's soul is scattered.

The next day, the Russian envoy returned and handed over the text of the treaty.

Yishan took the pen and signed.

Because, he was really frightened by the army of Tsarist Russia and didn't want to repeat Ye Mingchen's mistakes.

If you want to be loyal to the court and the emperor, you must first have a life.

At this point, the largest unequal treaty in China's history appeared.

The treaty stipulated that a total of 500,000 square kilometers of Chinese territory, north of the Heilongjiang River and south of the Trans-Khingan Mountains, would be ceded to the Tsarist Empire.

The land east of the Ussuri River is jointly administered by China and Russia. In China's inland rivers such as Heilongjiang, ships of the Tsarist Empire had the right of way.

After the signing of the treaty, the Tsarist Empire was overjoyed, and the envoy immediately went south and handed over the text of the treaty to the Tsarist Russian minister in the capital, so that he could officially submit it to the Xianfeng Emperor and officially exchange the treaty.

The "Aihui Treaty" signed by Yishan could not officially enter into force, and it needed to be personally approved by the emperor and signed by the Qing Dynasty center, and the treaty officially came into force.

………………………………………………

And in Tianjin!

The British used the same tactic, constantly coercing Gui Liang and Hua Shana.

But looking at these contents of the treaty, Gui Liang never wanted to sign it, and he didn't even dare to sign it.

He didn't dare to be the master.

As a result, the British and French troops bombarded the city of Tianjin again.

The Marines once again marched towards the capital.

The naval fleet once again headed for the Yongding River.

Gui Liang was shocked, but he still didn't dare to call the shots, so he hurriedly sent someone back to Beijing to ask the emperor for instructions.

And at this time within the capital.

The emperor's eyes were staring at Su Yu's house almost all the time.

I don't know how many spies were sent.

Almost every once in a while, he would ask: "Su Yu's family, have you gone out?" ”

"No, Your Majesty!"

"His family stayed at home, including Chong'en's family, but they sent servants out to buy meat and vegetables."

Whether Su Yu's family left Beijing or not has almost become a weather vane.

In the emperor's opinion, if Su Yu's family left Beijing, it would be a thief.

But Katsuho was right.

No evidence is needed, and the emperor can convict as long as he suspects.

Things have developed to this point, and there is no room for maneuver between the emperor and Su Yu.

At this point, it's waiting!

As long as the Anglo-French troops retreated and the capital was restored to peace, the emperor would take action against Su Yu.

Even if the debt of more than 10 million taels is exploded, even if it is a big consequence, the emperor is determined to completely take down Su Yu, the governor of Jiangxi.

Duhan had told him that suspicion was terrifying.

At this time, even if Su Yu didn't do anything to rob and kill Qincha, it would be useless.

Because Su Yu felt that the emperor would definitely be suspicious of him, he would definitely do something in order to protect himself.

So it can't be delayed.

If it is dragged until Su Yu continues to expand the army, it will be troublesome.

So, he suggested to the emperor.

In addition to whether Su Yu's family has left Beijing, there are two indicators that can be referenced.

First, whether Wang Shixin's army in Yangzhou has the intention of leaving Yangzhou and going to Jiujiang.

Second, Su Miao is in Jiujiang, and has he openly expanded his army.

But no matter what, we must take him down as soon as possible to avoid future troubles.

Even if Su Yu was wronged, he was relieved of his position first and coaxed him into Beijing.

And at this time, the footsteps of Zenglu outside sounded again.

The Emperor frowned.

Again, what's the bad news?

Every time you hear Zenglu's footsteps, it's not a good thing.

"What's the matter?" The Emperor said angrily.

Zenglu stepped forward and handed over a text and said: "Your Majesty, this is sent by Lord Guiliang, it is the text of the treaty that Yangyi forced us to sign, Lord Gui does not dare to call the shots, and I specially send it to the emperor to read!" ”

The emperor glanced at it a few times, and suddenly felt his heart pounding.

Then the text was thrown away as if there was a fire that would burn people.

He was angry in his heart, what does Gui Liang mean by this, do you want me to take the blame for him?

"I don't look at it!" The emperor said angrily: "I have to call the shots of everything, what do you want him to do as a cabinet minister?" What do you want him to do as a minister? ”

"Send someone to tell Gui Liang that you must fight with reason and not damage the prestige of the country!"

This is all nonsense.

The emperor's words in his heart were that he hurriedly signed the matter and let Yangyi withdraw from the army.

First of all, regardless of whether there was a matter of the Qin Mission's ministers being robbed and killed, the emperor had this in mind and hurriedly signed for the foreigners to retire.

After signing, whether you recognize it or not is another matter.

Fooling the foreigners away first is a typical contradiction.

Not only can the contradiction not be resolved, but it is getting bigger and bigger.

Then the Emperor conceived the wording of the council, and said mildly: "I have passed on my dictation, and I have not read these texts that he has handed over. But I believe in him, a cabinet scholar, and I believe that he has the emperor in his heart. ”

"There is no suspicion of using people, and there is no need for suspicious people, so since I handed over this negotiation errand to him, I will trust him completely, let him let go of the negotiation, and fight with reason!"

Zenglu said: "Huh! ”

Then, he immediately sent someone to deliver the emperor's message.

And he was clever and did not repeat it.

Because the emperor's meaning is very clear, you Gui Liang hurry up and sign it, even if you are embarrassed, I will not condemn you.

Even if he is temporarily convicted, he can be regarded as taking the blame for me, and he will definitely recover in the future.

Just like Yishan during the First Opium War, in order to give an explanation to the world, he was sentenced to beheading and waiting in prison, but it was reused in the second year. Why? It's because he is taking the blame for Emperor Daoguang.

Now, the eyes of the entire capital are staring in two directions.

One is the direction of Tianjin.

One is the direction of Su Yu's house.

The people at the top of the center all held their breath and waited quietly.

Everyone knew that as long as the negotiations on the Tianjin side were over, the British would withdraw their troops.

The emperor will do it.

And Su Yao's home is also a signal.

Do you want to run?

Once you run away, you will be considered a thief.

But there are many people who feel it.

Even if this matter was not done by Su Yu, it is normal for his family to run.

In this atmosphere, there are suspicions.

Su Yu jumped into the Yellow River and couldn't wash it away.

The atmosphere in the entire capital is very terrifying.

All the officials, almost holding their breath, walked cautiously.

The impeachment and attack in the court have completely disappeared.

Everyone felt the breath of the mountain rain coming, and they were all in silence, waiting for the moment of thunder.

However, it is at this time!

This terrible silence was shattered suddenly!

One day, dusk!

The remnant sun is like blood!

A group of dozens of murderers entered Su Yao's mansion.

The sword light and sword shadow, the blood light burst out, and the murderous spirit is soaring!

Suddenly, the capital was shocked.
