Chapter 222: The Fate of Concubine Yi! The last move!
When the emperor went to Concubine Yi's bedroom, she was learning to write with the second prince in her arms.
Two-year-olds are at their cutest.
While Yi Guifei was writing, the second prince's little hand went directly to touch it, making her hands full of ink, and directly grabbed her words.
Then, his chubby little hand grabbed directly at Yi Guifei's face.
Suddenly, Concubine Yi's beautiful and cold face was directly photographed with a small handprint.
"Quack quack......" Then, the baby clapped his hands and laughed.
Concubine Yi had a straight face, and she wanted to teach him a lesson.
The baby is very good at reading the face, and immediately opened his arms, and shouted sweetly with his small mouth: "Enia...... ...... Nie"
Concubine Yi was helpless, pinched his little nose and said, "You little person, I don't know where I learned this." ”
The baby pounced directly, and kissed Yi Guifei on the face, kissing her with saliva on her face.
She has been taking this baby for almost a year, and she really didn't expect this little thing to be so smart at such a young age.
Naughty can't do it.,Always like to challenge the bottom line of adults.,Once you feel annoyed.,,Immediately become obedient and sweet.,It's a hug.,It's a kiss.。
So that people are reluctant to be angry with him.
On the contrary, the eldest brother was a little dumbfounded, and he was afraid of Yi Guifei's biological mother.
Concubine Yi was still wary of the second prince at first, fearing that he would rob her son's position. But after being raised by his side for almost a year, that kind of ruthlessness faded.
Such a beautiful doll is simply spoiled and let him live a carefree life.
Therefore, Concubine Yi is more strict with the eldest prince, and much more arrogant with the second prince.
After the emperor came in, he immediately saw Concubine Yi who was like a cat, with a cold face, with black handprints in ink on the left, and saliva on the right side.
Suddenly, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
Since getting married, Concubine Yi likes to hold it, and she has never seen this appearance.
When the second prince found the emperor, he immediately turned his small body, clapped his hands and said: "Khan Ama, Khan Ama ......"
Concubine Yi immediately knelt down with the child in her arms and said, "The concubine is the emperor." ”
And the baby in her arms also chanted: "Emperor, Emperor, Khan Ama, Khan Ama ......"
It is not uncommon for children of this age to learn to speak, but the second prince not only speaks early, but also speaks very clearly, and he can learn a word from an adult.
The emperor was greedy, and couldn't help but stretch out his hand and said, "Second elder brother, let Khan Ama hug him." ”
"Don't ......" The second prince turned his little body, put his arm around Concubine Yi and said: "Enia hug, Enia hug......"
Such an eccentric little appearance makes people's hearts melt.
Concubine Yi corrected: "It's the concubine's mother......"
"E, E......nie," the second prince said.
An Dehai hurriedly stepped forward and took a towel, Yi Guifei wiped her face with a towel, and gently wiped the second prince's little hands clean.
Seeing that the emperor seemed to have something, Concubine Yi handed over the second prince to An Dehai.
An Dehai hugged the second prince and said, "Second elder brother, let's go out to play." ”
The emperor looked at the figure of the second elder brother and followed his eyes all the way outside. ,
The second prince pouted at first and was unwilling, but still opened his little hand towards Concubine Yi, and when he walked outside, he pointed outside with great interest and said, "Go play, go play......"
The Emperor sat down and waved his hand slightly.
Wang Chenggui said: "Let's all step down." ”
All the eunuchs and palace maids withdrew.
The emperor said: "You also go, there can be no one within ten zhang." ”
"Huh......" Wang Chenggui knelt down and cleared everyone within thirty meters.
In the entire dormitory, there are only the emperor and Concubine Yi left.
Concubine Yi sat down with the emperor in her arms.
She was a little uneasy in her heart, because the emperor had never been so solemn, but her expression was not obvious, and after helping the emperor to sit down, she went to make a bowl of tea again, and instinctively put a piece of old ginseng, but after a little hesitation, she ripped off half of this old ginseng, and she couldn't pull it, so she bit off half of it with her teeth.
The emperor was unable to make up for it, and he was afraid that a whole piece of old ginseng would not be able to bear it.
And the emperor also watched this scene quietly.
After brewing ginseng tea, the emperor took a sip and said, "Second elder brother, you are really smart. ”
Concubine Yi said: "Yes, little man, but he is clever, he doesn't need to speak, even if he has an expression, he can feel it." ”
The emperor said: "Is it a little like Yi?" ”
Concubine Yi said: "It's smarter than the sixth master, and it's also more handsome than the sixth master." ”
The emperor smiled: "I hope that when I grow up, I can share his brother's worries." ”
Concubine Yi said: "That's for sure, our second elder brother may be more powerful than the fifth, sixth, and seventh masters combined in the future." ”
The emperor said: "I will ...... in a hundred years"
As soon as these words came out, Concubine Yi immediately knelt down, and tears welled up and said, "Your Majesty, don't say this......"
The emperor said: "The crown prince is still young, so I want to canonize a few ministers, what do you think of Su Shun?" ”
Concubine Yi cried: "Your Majesty, women can't interfere in politics. ”
The emperor said: "You have been reviewing the folds for several years, and you still care about this?" ”
Concubine Yi said: "Su Shun, he has the ability and loyalty, but I'm afraid that he won't be able to tolerate the concubine." ”
The emperor said: "The two of you are indeed like a needle against Maimang, and you don't deal with it. ”
Then the Emperor asked, "What about Duhan?" ”
Concubine Yi said: "Du Han is attached to the emperor, and he will only be attached to Su Shun in the future." If Su Shun wants to deal with the concubines, Du Han will only be a pawn. ”
The emperor said: "Then do you think you want to introduce Yi into the minister?" ”
Concubine Yi said: "The concubine really doesn't dare to say it. ”
The emperor said: "You are usually so bold, why don't you dare to say it now?" ”
Concubine Yi said: "The prince is still young, and he will definitely not be able to suppress Su Shun in the future." And there are many followers in Sushun, although he is loyal now, it is difficult not to swell in the future, even if he himself does not swell, others will make him swell. The sixth master is less powerful, but after all, he is the beloved son of the first emperor and the emperor's own brother, and he can still fight against Su Shun. ”
The emperor said: "What does that mean to support Yi to become one of the ministers of Gu Ming?" ”
Yi Guifei said: "Yes." ”
The emperor said: "What about the monk Greenqin, Gui Liang?" ”
Concubine Yi said: "Gui Liang can't do it, he is the father-in-law of the sixth master." Monk Greenqin can, although he is close to the sixth master, he is still independent. ”
The emperor said: "But Monk Lingqin has just fought a big defeat. ”
Yi Guifei said: "Although he fought a big defeat, his army is still there. ”
The emperor said, "What about Ronglu?" ”
Concubine Yi said: "Rong Lu is too young, and his qualifications are too shallow. ”
The emperor sighed and said, "Alas! I had high hopes for Rong Lu, thinking that he was another Su Lu, but it wasn't after all. ”
Then, the emperor said, "What about Su Yu?" ”
"Him?" Concubine Yi was surprised.
The emperor said: "Yes, what about Su Yu? ”
Concubine Yi said: "How could the emperor think of him? ”
The emperor said, "What? Is he not capable enough, or is he not loyal enough? ”
Concubine Yi said: "He is too capable, if he is allowed to enter the center, then ...... I'm afraid that the future will be turned upside down. ”
The emperor said, "Are you saying that he is going to rebel?" ”
Yi Guifei said: "What he has to do is too big, I'm afraid that it will be subverted if he is not careful." ”
The emperor said: "Then do you think he did Zhang Juzheng?" ”
Yi Guifei said: "What he has to do is not only Zhang Juzheng. ”
The emperor said, "If you let him be in the wilderness, what will happen next?" ”
Concubine Yi said: "The concubine is a woman's family, so I can't see it clearly. ”
The emperor said: "If he is allowed to be in the opposition, even if he does not have any official position, his Jiujiang Economic Experimental Zone will become bigger and more prosperous." In the end, the seven southern provinces far exceed the north, and everyone will compare. When the north is backward and the south is prosperous, people's minds will change at that time. ”
Concubine Yi said: "Your Majesty, are those factories in his Jiujiang really so powerful?" ”
The emperor said, "I have seen it with my own eyes, of course it is amazing. I am short-sighted, and I can't see a few years later, let alone ten years later, but according to Su Yu's blueprint, Jiujiang in a few years can no longer be imagined. ”
Concubine Yi said: "So the biggest threat to the court in the future is Su Yu, right?" ”
The emperor said, "That's right. ”
Then, the emperor said: "I heard that you have a personal affair with Su Yu? ”
Deathly silence!
Hear the thunder in the silence.
The emperor was careless, and suddenly a sentence came out.
Concubine Yi knelt in a daze, her face instantly turned pale to the extreme.
"Yes or no?" The Emperor asked.
Concubine Yi's delicate body trembled slightly, and said, "Yes, yes." ”
The emperor said, "When?" ”
Concubine Yi said: "Before the concubine entered the palace, the two of us had a while. ”
The emperor said, "And then? ”
Concubine Yi said: "After the draft is successful, the concubines ...... The concubine also eloped with him, but was captured by the father of the concubine and the father of Su Yu. ”
The emperor said: "Then the little eunuch next to you before was also placed by him beside you?" ”
Yi Guifei said: "Yes." ”
The emperor said, "Then what about after you enter the palace?" Do you two still have a relationship? ”
Concubine Yi fell into a short silence and said tremblingly: "Yes, twice. ”
The emperor's face trembled, and the hands inside his sleeves trembled.
Then, the emperor said hoarsely, "Tell me about it." ”
Concubine Yi said: "The concubine knows that Su Shun regards me as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh, and the concubine's family is weak and has no foreign aid. So he wanted to lure Su Yao as a foreign aid, but he was domineering, so the concubines had always been cold to him. Until one day, the concubine found that he began to disobey the emperor's intentions, as if he was pampered and arrogant, and was about to destroy his future, so the concubine couldn't help it, summoned him to meet in secret, and wanted to warn him two sentences, don't lose the holy family. ”
The emperor said, "How did he react?" ”
Concubine Yi said: "He, he humiliated the concubine a few words. ”
The emperor said, "What about the second time?" ”
Concubine Yi said: "At that time, the concubine could see that he was ambitious, and his relationship with the emperor had almost broken off. So the concubine held on to the last hope and wanted him to pull back from the precipice. ”
The emperor said, "What is the result? ”
Concubine Yi said: "The conversation was very bad, and the concubine said that when he faced a dead end in the future, he should not come to the concubine to save him." But he said that when the future concubine was at the end of his rope, he was afraid that he would beg him to save him. Then, they broke up unhappily. ”
The emperor said lightly: "That's the case." ”
Concubine Yi cried and said, "Your Majesty, the concubine's words are true. The concubine is willing to swear, but if there is half a lie, let the concubine thunder five thunders, and she will not die well. ”
The emperor sat there for a long time, without speaking.
Then, he walked out directly, his face cold.
Concubine Yi knelt down behind and said: "Your Majesty, the concubine's words are true, the emperor ......."
Walking outside, the emperor said: "Wang Chenggui, block the residence of Concubine Yi, no one is allowed to enter or exit, and she is not allowed to leave half a step." ”
"Second elder brother, give it to Concubine Lian to raise."
Hearing the emperor's will, Wang Chenggui's face changed drastically, and then he immediately said: "Huh! ”
Two quarters of an hour later.
Dozens of eunuchs and dozens of guards surrounded Concubine Yi's bedroom.
The entire palace was completely shocked.
This...... What's going on here?
Concubine Yi was actually under house arrest?
This, this is the prince's biological mother?
This is the imperial concubine, and the queen is indifferent, usually this Yi concubine is more like the lord of the harem.
The emperor is seriously ill, and he sees that Concubine Yi is about to become the queen mother.
Looking at the posture, is it actually going to the mother and the child?
The queen couldn't help it, and came directly to the emperor to ask, but she didn't see the emperor.
The glamorous and compelling Concubine Lian, when she hugged her son again, fell into disbelief and ecstasy.
The concubine Yi she was most afraid of fell like this?
For more than two years, she has been living in fear every day, and in order to protect her relatives, she had to hand over her son to Concubine Yi to raise.
Thinking about tiger poison does not eat children.
The emperor saw that he was about to die, and Concubine Yi was about to become the queen mother, so Concubine Lian immediately entered the most panicked stage.
Before, Concubine Yi showed that she loved the second prince very much, but who knows if she was acting, especially acting in front of the emperor.
When the emperor dies and the crown prince ascends the throne, after she becomes the queen mother, she may not act.
At that time, she may be able to attack her mother and son.
didn't expect that at this critical moment, Concubine Yi would fall.
Concubine Lian instinctively wanted to celebrate, she was a person of such a temperament, straight and straight.
However, just as she was about to say a few words of pleasure, she immediately swallowed again.
Don't get carried away, don't.
The more this time, the more cautious you must be.
After a little hesitation, Concubine Lian hugged her son and went directly to Concubine Yi's bedroom.
When he came to the door, he was directly stopped by the guards.
"Are you blind? Even if you can't look down on me, don't you look down on the second elder brother? Concubine Lian said, "Let me in, let me in." ”
The eunuch Wang Deli immediately stepped forward and said, "Master Lotus, this is the emperor's will, and no one can disobey it." ”
Concubine Lian said: "The second elder brother has been with Sister Yi for a long time, and he hasn't been separated for half a day at most, he misses his concubine, what's wrong?" ”
Then, Concubine Lian shouted loudly: "Sister, how are you? How are you? ”
Then, she slapped the second elder brother on the ass and whispered, "Good baby, cry!" ”
Suddenly, the second elder brother cried loudly, and while crying, he stretched out his hand and shouted: "I want Eni, I want Eni......"
Concubine Yi inside finally couldn't help it, and said, "Good sister, I'm fine, you can go, take the second elder brother well." ”
Concubine Lian said: "No, sister, I'm going to see the emperor, I can't do this, I can't practice people like this." ”
The second prince suddenly cried even more heartbreakingly.
Concubine Yi couldn't help but open the door and wanted to come out.
As a result, as soon as he took half a step, he was immediately stopped by the eunuch Wang Deli and said, "Master Yi, don't make it difficult for the slaves and maids." ”
Concubine Yi took a deep look at Wang Deli and said, "In your eyes, I am already certain to die, right?" ”
Wang Deli immediately knelt down and said: "The slave and the maid don't dare, the slave and the maid don't dare, the master of Yi can unjustly kill the slave and the maid." ”
Concubine Lian said to Concubine Yi: "Sister, you wait, I will take the second elder brother to see the emperor." ”
Concubine Yi said: "Don't go! ”
Her tone was very harsh.
But then, she softened down a little and said, "Sister Lian, don't go." If you're really for my good, don't go. If I'm lucky enough to get through this, then we'll be good sisters in the future. If I can't pass this level, then you can take the sophomore brother well, and you will also help take care of the eldest brother with the queen mother. ”
Concubine Lian cried: "Why do you have to do this, why do you have to do this." ”
………………………
Next, the emperor's health deteriorated day by day.
Even most of the time, he was already lying on the bed.
And Concubine Yi is still under house arrest.
Concubine Lian listened to Concubine Yi's words and did not come to the emperor's side to make trouble, but she found the queen and said that she wanted to ask clearly.
and said in public that she would let the queen take her and Concubine Li to the emperor to ask clearly.
Concubine Li's side retreated.
As a result, the queen really brought Concubine Lian to find the emperor, wanting to ask clearly and intercede for Concubine Yi
Then, still ate the closed door.
The emperor did not see them, but asked Wang Chenggui to warn: "The harem must not interfere in politics, and it is safe to keep to yourself." ”
This is already very serious.
Everyone felt that Concubine Yi was certain to die this time.
For a long time, Concubine Yi has been too prominent, and even reviewed the recital for the emperor, or is the concubine like this, and she will have to be the queen mother in the future?
In order to avoid Wu Zetian in the Qing Dynasty, he could only go to the mother and keep the son.
And everyone has judged the date of Yi Guifei's death, when the emperor is dying, he will definitely poison Yi Guifei.
And the reasons have been found, the emperor favored Concubine Yi, so he let her be buried together.
Although the Qing Dynasty has not had a tradition of burial for a long time, it is normal to recover a little, which is still a great honor.
Su Shun's side has already begun to prepare intensively.
They even regretted it slightly, why did they want to lead Yi into the game?
As long as you say the adultery between Concubine Yi and Su Yao, the emperor will kill Concubine Yi, so there is no need to pull Yi in at all.
I'll just say that more.
If there is no Yi, the future Queen Mother will be her niece, then she will really be in power.
Ao Bai didn't want to do it, but Zhang Juzheng and I could do it at the beginning.
But no matter what, the emperor still issued an order and summoned three people to the Chengde Palace.
Prince Gong Yi, Monk Greenqin, Rong Lu!
Suddenly, countless people were shocked.
Unexpectedly...... And Ronglu?
He's too young, and he's too young.
The key is to fight with the British and French forces, and Seng Lingqin and Rong Lu both lost.
Why?
Su Shun, Duanhua, Zaiyuan, Du Han and others were also indignant and held secret meetings in private.
"What does the emperor mean by this? It's just enough to summon the monk Greenqin, in order to summon Ronglu as well? ”
"Why? Rong Lu is only a few years old this year, and he is only twenty-six years old! ”
"Before, he was a lucky man, and in the eyes of the emperor, he was just a substitute for Su Yao."
"His Tianjin New Army fought okay before, but after the British and French troops came, they directly exposed their bottoms, and they couldn't fight a tough battle at all."
"Admiral Zhili is already a high match, do you still want him to become a minister? That...... So what are we? ”
Du Han said: "Su Zhongtang, this posture, the minister who cares about his life, is there still my share?" ”
Kuang Yuan said on the side: "If there is no Lord Du, then there is no me." ”
Both of them were worried, and secretly snapped their fingers in their hearts, listening to Su Shun's meaning, there might be eight ministers who took care of their lives.
Yi, Seng Lingqin, Rong Lu accounted for three.
Sushun, Duanhua, Zaiyuan, and Jingshou are four people.
That's just one spot left.
Du Han and Kuang Yuan, at most, can only enter one person.
In case, the emperor let the two younger brothers, Prince Xuan and Prince Alcohol, enter one, then even Du Han will not have a place.
Du Han and Kuang Yuan were of course anxious.
Su Shun said: "Don't worry, at least one of the two of you will enter, and I will strive for both of you to enter, at least kick Rong Lu out." ”
Duanhua said: "It's true, the eight ministers who take care of their lives, all of them are full of Mongolia, and they can't explain it." ”
Yes, according to this calculation, if Du Han and Kuang Yuan are not there, the eight ministers who take care of their lives will all be Manchu and Mongolian.
There is not a single Han person, and the imperial court cannot explain to the world.
Du Han said: "Yes, Rong Lu must be kicked out, even if he doesn't kick it now, he will kick it out in the future." ”
…………………………
Capital!
After Prince Gong Yi, Seng Lingqin, and Rong Lu received the will.
Suddenly, Chang Chang breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, the three of them even had to thank Su Yu.
If it weren't for Su Yu's threat, I am afraid that none of the eight ministers would have a share of three people, and all of them would be occupied by Su Shun's side.
Especially Rong Lu, he was ecstatic and frightened.
His qualifications are too shallow, his official position is too low, and he has never trained in the center.
Wen Xiang and Bao Jun are also sour in their hearts.
Why?
Wen Xiang is now the Admiral of the Nine Gates, and he is still the Minister of Military Aircraft, and his status is much higher than that of Rong Lu.
Bao Jun is the Minister of the Interior, and his status is higher than Rong Lu.
Rong Lu After all, that is, the minister of the Tianjin New Army, how can he enter the ranks of ministers who care for his life?
Tomorrow he will leave Beijing for Chengde, and Yi will convene a meeting of faction ministers.
"Go and invite Lord Katsura, and Lord Katsuho."
Half an hour later, Gui Liang arrived.
"Sheng Bao said that he was not feeling well, suffered from heat stroke, and did not come." The next person reports.
Yi frowned, Sheng Bao was jumping around, where did he suffer from heat stroke, and he was still working together during the day today.
It is clearly jealous in the heart and put on a face.
In terms of qualifications and merits, can Rong Lu win and compete with him?
Although he won and lost the battle of Bali Bridge, he made great contributions to the suppression of the twist and the defeat of the leaders of the twist army, Li Zhaoshou and Miao Peilin.
He is a squire of the military department, and he is in charge of Manchuria, and his qualifications are higher than those of Rong Lu.
Why can Ronglu enter, but I can't enter if I win?
………………
Prince Gong's Mansion, Yangyun Jingshe, several people have a secret meeting.
Rong Lu said in a panic: "Lord, monk, Lord Guiliang, my Ronglu is far from enough in terms of merit or qualifications, this time I went to Chengde, I immediately asked the emperor to resign, and recommended Lord Guiliang." ”
"No, never." Gui Liang said: "I am the father-in-law of the sixth master, and it is impossible for the emperor to make me a minister of care, and even the reason why the sixth master can enter the minister of life is already because of the strong enemy Su Yu." To be promoted, you can recommend Wenxiang, Baojun, or Shengbao. ”
Wen Xiang was silent for a while and said, "No, you can't nominate us." ”
Bao Jun said: "Yes, no! Ronglu is what the emperor really wants, doesn't he know that Ronglu is young and has little qualifications? Let Lord Ronglu take the throne, which will cause an uproar in the world. But in the emperor's opinion, Lord Ronglu was personally raised by him, and the Tianjin New Army is also the most capable army in the imperial court. ”
Rong Lu suddenly said bitterly: "In the battle with Britain and France, the Tianjin New Army was defeated so badly, what kind of face do you have." ”
Bao Jun said: "In fact, everyone can see that in a battle with the British and French coalition forces, the Tianjin New Army was defeated very badly, but it was not that the combat effectiveness was not good, but that the will to fight was not good. In terms of combat effectiveness, there is not much difference between the Tianjin New Army and the Su Yu New Army. The new army of Su Yu could not defeat the British and French forces in the capital, so they were not afraid of death at all. ”
"Therefore, the emperor has put the heavy task of eliminating Su Yu completely on Lord Ronglu."
"Not only to deal with Su Yu, even if we want to deal with Su Shun and others, we also need the army in hand."
"So, Lord Ronglu must not resign!"
Suddenly, several people present looked towards Prince Gong.
Actually, the relationship between Yi and Rong Lu is not very close.
It's just that Rong Lu has a close relationship with Monk Greenqin, and Monk Greenqin has a close relationship with Yi.
So at this special moment, it's like forming a party.
Yi said: "Ronglu, don't shirk it." Even if there is any public opinion between the government and the opposition, this king will block it for you. ”
Rong Lu stepped forward and bowed, "Thank you, Lord Wang." ”
…………………………
The next day, Yi, Seng Lingqin, and Ronglu left Beijing and went to Chengde.
Moreover, the emperor's secret decree, so there were 3,000 new troops in Tianjin, and they also secretly went to Chengde.
A few days later!
The three rushed to Chengde.
The emperor summoned Yi first.
"I know you and Su Shun don't deal with each other, but no matter what, even if you want to fight, kill Su Shun first and then fight."
Yi knelt down and cried: "Brother Chen knows, Su Yu is the first national thief, we must unite sincerely and destroy the national thief first." ”
Then, the emperor summoned the monk Grinqin.
"The Anglo-French alliance has been defeated, we must be brave and train our troops well."
"Among the military generals of the imperial court, the one who is the most hostile to Su Yu is you. The most resolute one to eliminate Su Yu is you. ”
"So when the time comes, I hope you will strike a thunderous blow and completely eradicate Su Yu."
Monk Greenqin kowtowed: "Even if the slave is broken to pieces, he must eradicate the national thief for the emperor." Tens of thousands of Mongolian horse teams, after the defeat of Bali Bridge, are burning, eager to die on the battlefield immediately, to save the reputation of their ancestors. ”
The emperor sighed and said, "It's good to have this ambition. ”
Then, the emperor summoned Rong Lu.
"Ronglu, whose person are you?" The Emperor asked.
Rong Lu kowtowed and said, "The slave is the emperor's person." ”
The emperor said: "Yes, you are my person, not anyone's person, including Yi." ”
Rong Lu said: "The slave knows." ”
The emperor said, "After I am gone, who should you listen to?" ”
Rong Lu howled and cried: "The slave listens to the prince." ”
The emperor said: "The prince is still young, so who do you listen to?" ”
Rong Lu said: "Then the slave will listen to the Queen Mother." ”
The Emperor nodded and said, "Yes, yes!" ”
Next, Rong Lu also wanted to take the opportunity to offer advice and communicate with the emperor. But he didn't expect the emperor to stop talking, and he didn't have a shallow taste of the plan of how to eliminate Su Yu, and didn't talk in depth.
……………………
Next, Monk Lingqin's army, Ronglu's Tianjin New Army, came to Chengde Palace.
With the addition of the original army, there were thirty or forty thousand troops in the entire palace.
The entire palace fell into an extremely depressed atmosphere, with an aura of fear.
Because the emperor's time to be awake is getting less and less.
I can barely get out of bed.
Su Shun and Wang Chenggui's side are completely ready.
As long as the emperor's will arrives, it will even ...... Even if the emperor doesn't want it.
They also immediately took the poison to send Concubine Yi on the road.
In the past few days, Concubine Yi has entered the darkest moment of her life.
Plunged into boundless darkness, despair, pain.
The fifth day of July!
The emperor suddenly issued an order, and all the civil and military officials entered the palace to wait, and a court meeting was to be held.
Everyone was shocked.
This...... Is this moment finally coming?
Is the emperor going to explain the last major event?
Then, the emperor decreed: "Zaiyuan, Duanhua, Jingshou, Sushun, Yi, Seng Lingqin, Duhan, Kuangyuan, and Ronglu come to Yanbo Zhishuang Palace." ”
At this point, it is finally clear to everyone.
In the end, the emperor arranged for nine auxiliary ministers.
This has changed dramatically from history, where there are only eight of them, and the three of them are not in the ranks.
Du Han and Kuang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, finally having the two of themselves. The long-term stance against Su Yu has finally paid off.
Nine people, kneeling underneath.
The emperor was draped in a blanket and lay on a huge dragon chariot.
"You also know that the next nine of you will do your best to assist the prince and praise all government affairs."
The nine ministers bowed their heads and wept, "The servants obey the order." ”
But there is one more thing, that is, how to deal with Su Yu and how to eradicate Su Yu.
For a long time, the emperor kept summoning people and talking, and there was only one theme, that is, Su Yu must be eradicated.
However, how to eradicate it is not explained in half a sentence.
Such a big thing has to be planned.
Now that the emperor is about to die, isn't he still discussing?
The emperor said: "This last time is to discuss how to eradicate Su Yu. ”
"Guys, what do you think?"
Kuang Yuan said: "Your Majesty, the ministers ......"
Kuang Yuan was able to enter the ranks of ministers who took care of his life, and he was really excited in his heart, and he wanted to admonish immediately.
But I suddenly found that my opinion was not suitable to say.
Once you say it, isn't it cursing the emperor?
"You say." The Emperor said.
Kuang Yuan said: "The emperor decreed that Su Yu should come to see the emperor, and then arrest him directly." ”
The emperor said: "You want to say that after I died, let Su Yu come to participate in the funeral, right?" ”
Kuang Yuan kowtowed and said: "The minister doesn't dare, the emperor is prosperous for thousands of years, and his longevity is boundless." ”
The emperor said: "It's all this time, don't deceive yourself." The law is a method, the dead are great, and there is still a certain amount of righteousness. ”
"He's definitely not coming, though. When he was in Jiujiang, I canonized him as the Minister of Foreign Affairs, entered the military machine, and was even willing to personally smash the stone tablet of the rebellious ministers and thieves in front of his door, but he refused, which means very clearly, to completely cut off the righteousness of the monarch and minister with me, and not to accept any kindness, and naturally not to participate in my funeral. ”
"Is there any other way?"
Nine people offered their ideas.
However, none of them are too good.
Because this is no longer a political struggle, but a human extermination.
The Emperor smiled lightly and said, "Since none of your ideas work, let's use my plan." ”
The nine people immediately kowtowed: "The slave is incompetent, respectfully ask the Holy Judge." ”
Then everyone pricked up their ears and waited to hear the emperor's plan.
As a result, the emperor said: "Swing the car, Concubine Yi." ”
Everyone was stunned, what are you doing at this time?
Are you going to put her to death yourself?
Didn't you say that you had to make a plan to eradicate Su Yu?
However, who dares to ask at this time?
Wang Chenggui asked people to prepare the dragon chariot, and once again carried the emperor to Yi Guifei, who was now completely unable to walk.
……………………
At this time, Concubine Yi's bedroom has become a cold palace.
It's bleak.
She was under house arrest for almost a month.
This month, she went from anger to fear, to despair, and then to indifference at this time.
She couldn't go out half a step and she couldn't talk to anyone.
Every day is like a year, as if someone will come in at any time and send him directly with poisoned wine, or a piece of white silk to send him on the road.
At this time, the palace gate opened.
"The emperor has arrived!" There was a voice outside.
Concubine Yi's body trembled slightly.
A moment later, several men walked in carrying the emperor.
The emperor waved his hand, and everyone withdrew.
Then another order was given, and everyone withdrew ten feet away.
Concubine Yi didn't kneel either, her fear was too much at this time, so she sat there quietly and said, "Your Majesty, are you here to send me on my way?" ”
The emperor said, "Would you like to?" Accompany me to the funeral. ”
"Yes." Concubine Yi said: "However, the emperor should not ruin my reputation, there is innocence between me and Su Yao." If I ruin my reputation, what will happen to the crown prince's reputation after he succeeds to the throne? Someone will make waves. ”
The emperor said: "Among the ladies of the harem, although the queen is the original match, she has been taught too well and too orthodox. You are from a small family, and you don't hide yourself very much, but you are not as domineering as Concubine Lian. Over the years, you will also back down, but you will also quarrel with me and be angry, just like an ordinary couple. ”
"So, in the final analysis, it's you who I love the most, although sometimes I'm also angry enough with you."
Concubine Yi's eyes were red and she said, "Your Majesty, if you want to kill me, kill me." Go to the mother and keep the child, I know. Stop talking about these heart-wrenching words. ”
"Those who don't kill, those who don't kill." The emperor said hoarsely: "I don't need to be buried, and I also know that I am not a likable man." ”
"I have prepared two imperial seals, one for the queen and the other for you. Any edict of the new emperor must be stamped with these two seals in order to take effect. ”
"After my death, the crown prince succeeded to the throne. The queen Niu Hulu is the queen mother. You, Yehnara, are the Queen Mother. ”
"The prince is still young and can't manage the government. Government affairs are assisted by nine ministers, supervised by you and the queen. ”
"At the critical moment, you and the queen are the main ones."
"In the future, you will also help the prince grasp the country."
As soon as these words came out, Concubine Yi couldn't believe her ears at all.
The eyes that were originally red with red circles poured out tears.
She thought she was going to die, but she didn't expect this to be the result.
Not only do you not have to die, but you can also become the Queen Mother and master one of the imperial seals.
first burst into tears, and then couldn't hold back any longer, and cried directly.
The Emperor waited quietly until she cried to the saddest place, and handed over a handkerchief.
After a few minutes, Concubine Yi calmed down.
The emperor said, "What do you think of Su Yu?" ”
Concubine Yi said: "He is a big trouble. ”
The emperor said: "His set is too ruthless, it will ruin my love for Xinjue Luo Jiangshan, my edict is useless to him, even if I have a big funeral, he will not come." But if you write a secret letter and let him enter Beijing in the name of the new emperor, he will definitely come. He is waiting for this day, waiting for you to summon him into the center in the name of the new emperor. ”
"In the future, after he enters Beijing, he will come to see you as agreed."
"He will probably lead a new army into Beijing, but there must not be many of them. At this time, no one can help him. But when he comes to see you in the palace, he probably won't lead troops, he has always paid attention to righteousness and will not do such a rebellious thing. ”
"So, when you summon him, it's an opportunity to kill him, because the only person he believes in is you."
"Arrange Rong Lu to ambush the elite in your palace, and as soon as Su Lu arrives, he will be shot to death immediately!"
"Then, you will make my edict public, calling Su Yu a rebellious minister and thief, and killing him."
"Among the people in the world, no one else can kill Su Yu, but you can kill him."
Suddenly, Concubine Yi was stunned again.
There is no doubt that this plan is almost seamless.
The Queen Mother and the new emperor decreed that Su Yu should enter Beijing and enter the center, and Su Yu would most likely come.
will definitely come to see Concubine Yi (the future Empress Dowager Cixi)
At that time, the gods will be unstoppable by shooting and killing.
In Jiujiang Pavilion that day, he thought about dragging Su Yu to die together, but finally found that he couldn't do it. So the quiet time before death finally laid out a terrible plan.
Concubine Yi trembled and said: "Kill Su Yu like this, I am afraid that the people will be shocked, and I am afraid that his army will rebel." ”
The emperor said: "Yes, Su Yu's reputation is too good, and if the court kills him, his reputation will definitely be greatly damaged." Countless people will scold me and the court. But there is no way to have both worlds, and the pros and cons are just weighed. ”
"As for rebellion? There is not much left of Su Yao's army, with him there is a soul, and without him, there is no soul. Not to mention that it is not necessarily the opposite, even if it is reversed, it does not matter. ”
"After killing Su Yu, immediately reward Shen Baozhen, this person is very smart and knows how to weigh the pros and cons."
"After Su Yu's death, Xu Youren, Wang Youling, Tian Yugong and others, no matter how agitated and angry they are, they will definitely not rebel."
"Their biggest request is probably to ask the court to hand over the murderer, give Su Yu an explanation, and restore Su Yu's reputation."
"When the time comes, you will push Rong Lu out and put all the charges on him. If that's not enough, push out the monk Grinqin as well. If that's not enough, push Duhan out as well. ”
"Let's just say that the three of them are the murderers of Su Yu, you use the new emperor's decree to kill these three ministers and give Su Yu's faction an explanation."
"Then, restore Su Yao's reputation, reward his family, posthumously crown Su Yu as a first-class prince, and even if necessary, posthumously seal Beizi and Baylor.
"In this way, there will be an explanation to the world, and the turmoil can be barely calmed down."
"Xingzhen, you have always been smarter than me, do you think this plan is feasible?" The Emperor asked.
Concubine Yi began to think, deducing every step in her heart.
After a long while, Concubine Yi said, "It should be feasible." ”
The emperor said: "The key to this plan lies with you. I will leave it all to you to lead, and the crown prince was born to you, so the future emperor will be handed over to you, and Jiangshan Sheji will also be handed over to you. ”
Concubine Yi trembled, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, the concubine is afraid that she will not be able to do well." ”
The emperor said, "I have said that you are smarter than me, so you can do a good job." ”
Concubine Yi knelt down and kowtowed: "Concubine, obey the order!" ”
The Emperor sighed, "I am of medium talent, not a heroic talent. After the defeat of Britain and France, I wanted to be confused, drunk and dreaming of death, and being a fool. But when he thought of Su Yu, he still didn't blink an eye after all. So before he died, he came up with such a move. ”
"Do your best, and then do your best, and obey the destiny of heaven!"
"Everything I can do has been done, and it's up to you to do the next."
Concubine Yi kowtowed: "For the emperor, for the prince, and for the Qing Dynasty, the concubines will do their best." ”
The emperor nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work." ”
"You just wait here, and after a while, I will personally hand over the two imperial seals to you and the queen."
"I'll go to the Queen."
Concubine Yi knelt down and said, "Concubine, send the emperor." ”
…………………………
The emperor left Concubine Yi and came to the queen's bedroom.
Let the prince be sent away, and he will be sent to the main hall first, waiting for the court meeting.
When he was in the palace, the queen married him.
Therefore, no matter what, Empress Niu Hulu is the emperor's most trusted person.
But he also knows that the queen has a good heart and soft ears, and the relationship between the queen and the fourth sister is very close.
The relationship between the fourth sister, Princess Shou'an, and Su Yu is too close.
In the emperor's opinion, although Concubine Yi had a personal relationship with Su Yu, for the sake of power, she was able to kill Su Yu ruthlessly.
And the queen's side is too kind-hearted to do this kind of thing.
The plan to kill Su Yu must not be known to the queen.
Because once he dies, Princess Shou'an will definitely come to attend the funeral.
The queen can't hide things, if he knows that the emperor has a secret plan to kill Su Yu, I'm afraid that his expression will be unnatural, and he will be tricked out by Princess Shou'an at that time, and it will not be good if he leaks the plan.
"Your Majesty, although Concubine Yi has scheming, she ...... It is impossible to spread any Wu Zetian outside, and the prince has been unable to sleep and eat for the past few days, and he will even be awakened by nightmares in the middle of the night. ”
"So, the emperor is gracious and spares Concubine Yi."
The emperor couldn't help but sigh and said, "It's good that you are still so kind-hearted." ”
The queen said: "Your Majesty, you won't kill her, right?" ”
The emperor said: "Don't kill it, you are too kind-hearted, you can't suppress those ministers who care about your life in the future, you still need the help of Concubine Yi, she is more ruthless and can suppress it." ”
The queen breathed a long sigh of relief.
Then the emperor finally couldn't help but ask: "What do you say you should do about Su Yu?" ”
The queen said: "Concubine, I don't know." ”
Looking at her beautiful and charming face, the emperor sighed softly and said, "Forget it, it's not difficult for you." ”
Then, the emperor said: "But the rumors about Wu Zetian outside have to be guarded against." ”
The queen was stunned.
The emperor said: "Empress, after I die, if Concubine Yi is at peace, it will be good." But if she oversteps her authority and has endangered Aixin Jueluo Jiangshan, you have to take action. ”
The queen said: "Concubine, how to make a move?" ”
The emperor said: "I will give you a secret edict, once you really find out that Concubine Yi has transgressed, endangering the society of the country." Then you take out this secret edict, let Su Shun do it, let Yi do it, and with this secret edict, you can kill Yi Guifei. ”
Then the Emperor took out a secret edict from his sleeve and put it in an envelope.
And it is sealed with beeswax.
"Can you do it?" The Emperor asked.
The queen said: "Your Majesty, what is considered a transgression, and what is considered to endanger the society of the country?" ”
The emperor said: "You have a good heart, so the scale in your heart is more accurate." Tell me, what counts as a transgression? ”
The queen said: "She usurped power, and suppressed the prince, and even when the future prince became an adult, he was unwilling to return to power." ”
The emperor said, "I know that you can see very clearly in this regard. ”
"Then I'll leave this matter to you."
The queen knelt down, took the secret edict and said: "Concubine, receive the decree!" ”
………………………………
The Emperor left this side and returned to the Hall of Smoke and Waves.
This time, he only secretly summoned Seng Lingqin and Rong Lu.
"Before I died, the most unsightly thing was to eradicate Su Yao."
"Both of you are extremely loyal to me, and you are even more dedicated to the country. Therefore, the heavy task of eradicating Su Yu will be handed over to the two of you. ”
"One day in the future, Concubine Yi will become the Queen Mother, and she will summon Su Yu into Beijing and enter the center in the name of the new emperor."
"She will summon Su Yu in person in the palace. At that time, the two of you will be responsible for ambushing the elite in her palace, as soon as Su Yu appears, Concubine Yi gives an order, you will shoot Su Yu to death. ”
Monk Lingqin immediately kowtowed and said, "Minion, obey the order!" ”
Rong Lu kowtowed and said, "Slave, obey the order." ”
"But there is one thing, if at that time, Concubine Yi, as the Queen Mother, does not give an order?"
Monk Greenqin immediately looked towards Rong Lu, his eyes showed appreciation, or you thought thoughtfully.
The emperor was silent for a while and said: "At that time, if she doesn't give an order, she will still shoot Su Yu to death, and by the way, she will also kill Concubine Yi, and then go to the queen to ask for my secret edict." ”
In this way, nothing goes wrong.
Monk Lingqin and Rong Lu knelt down and said: "Slaves, broken bones, also want to eradicate the national thieves." ”
The Emperor let out a long breath.
The most important thing is that it has been deployed.
His limit is also coming.
"Swing the hall of indifference and respect!" The Emperor said.
