Cixi said coldly: "Little Guizi, are you talking to me like this? ”

The little eunuch Gui'er said: "The slave and maid plead guilty to the Queen Mother. ”

After that, Gui'er knelt down respectfully and saluted.

The Queen Mother looked at Gui'er, her cold face calmed down a little, and said, "Gui'er, you go back and tell Su Yu, don't worry too much, don't think too much." ”

"Now everything has changed, the emperor is my son, and I am the queen mother of the palm print."

"Let him be patient, I'm waiting for the right time to summon him to Beijing."

Gui'er said: "Queen Mother, Second Master Su Yu asked me to tell you that no matter what plan the emperor has, it will be completely deformed in the power struggle in the end." The only thing you can trust is him. ”

The Queen Mother said: "You let him rest assured, I have always kept the love in my heart." ”

Gui'er said: "Queen Mother, my master still wants to know, does the emperor have any plans to continue to deal with him?" If there is, please tell the Queen Mother in detail, my master's side can cooperate, and the inside and outside should cooperate to fight political enemies. ”

The Queen Mother said: "Gui'er, you tell him, don't be too careful." Everything is up to me, no matter whether there is anyone in the court who wants to kill him, I can completely eliminate him, create the best environment, and then lead him into Beijing. ”

Gui'er raised her head and said, "Queen Mother, the slave wants to stay and wait by your side, is it okay?" ”

The Queen Mother said: "Of course I want you to stay, but now I still need a central alliance between you and Su Yu, so you have to run outside for a while." ”

"Whoa......," Gui'er kowtowed.

Then, get up and quit.

But after taking two steps, Gui'er suddenly said again: "Queen Mother, the situation is very complicated now, and a slight misjudgment may lead to serious consequences." According to Su Yu's plan, at a critical moment, he will enter the palace, eradicate all political enemies, and help the queen mother of the two palaces to listen to the government. ”

Empress Dowager Cixi said, "Wait a minute, what do you mean?" ”

Gui'er said: "When the first emperor was in Jiujiang Pavilion, he had a long chat with the second master. There are two situations for the young lord to ascend the throne, either Dolgon of the Shunzhi Emperor or Ao Bai when the Kangxi Emperor was in power. The second master said, Su Shun is this person is Aobai. When the first emperor was there, it was okay, but when the first emperor was not there, he was afraid that he would come more and more arrogant, and even roared at the court and looked down on the emperor. ”

Empress Dowager Cixi said: "He has already done this. ”

Gui'er said: "Among the nine ministers, there are almost five or six people in the Sushun party, and the remaining Prince Gong, the monk king, and Ronglu seem to be one party. In fact, they are fighting their own battles, Prince Gong is smart, if he loses power this time, he is afraid that he will conspire with the Queen Mother. But now that he has gained power, I am afraid that he wants the Queen Mother and Su to fight more fiercely, so that he can reap the benefits. ”

"Rong Lu is a very smart person, and he has mastered the Tianjin New Army, and he is a childhood sweetheart with the Queen Mother. But this person is too smart to always find the best opportunity, the biggest opportunity, to climb up. So in just over twenty years, he became a minister of life. ”

"But the Queen Mother thinks about it, whether it is for the sake of allies or for the sake of the Lord, does Rong Lu dare to fight hard?"

"The Anglo-French coalition army fought Dagukou this time, Tongzhou, Baliqiao, and the Tianjin New Army obviously had strong combat effectiveness, why did they often collapse in their fighting spirit, it was Rong Lu, the commander, who did not have the heart to die, this person had room to think about everything first, and was unwilling to do everything, let alone the determination to break the boat, so he is not a political support that can be absolutely trusted."

"On the other hand, my lord Su Yu, whether it is for Xu Youren or Wang Youling, he has done everything he has several times."

"My lord's political reputation is unmatched, so as long as the queen mother leads my lord into Beijing to help, she can eradicate all political enemies, and help the two queen mothers listen to the government and grasp the power, without being at the mercy of the minister."

"Among the people in the world, only my lord has this ability and this courage."

After hearing this, Cixi nodded and said, "I completely trust this." ”

Gui'er said: "Queen Mother, I have also served you for a few years, in my heart, you are all my most important people." So Gui'er is anxious at this time, this is the time of life and death, this is the most terrible moment of political struggle, there can be no hesitation, let alone a little suspicion. ”

"At such a critical moment, if there is even the slightest suspicion, it will be magnified tenfold, a hundred times."

"At such times, absolute political honesty is required."

"Therefore, if the emperor really has a secret plan to eradicate my lord Su Yu, please be sure to tell us in detail, and then we will plan together. What is the specific plan, who will be the person who will make the shot, and so on. ”

"This is a very important matter, and my lord does not care that there is a plan to eradicate him. But my lord cares very much about whether you are honest with him. ”

"So, Queen Mother, do you have anything to tell me?"

Cixi fell silent, her voice was full of majesty, and said: "Go back and tell Su Yu, let him not worry, when the time is right, I will summon him into the center, and he shouldn't worry about the rest of the things." ”

Gui'er bowed down and said, "The slave understands. ”

"The slave and maid are gone."

Then, Gui'er directly said goodbye and left.

After a while, An Dehai walked in and said, "Master, does he want to return to you?" ”

Cixi said: "An Dehai, in your opinion, as an arm, is Rong Lu more suitable, or Su Yu more suitable?" ”

An Dehai, as Cixi's first confidant, heard this at this time, and suddenly trembled, and then felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart.

This means that he has a higher status in the eyes of his master.

After a long while, he said: "Back to the master, Lord Ronglu is more suitable." ”

Cixi said: "Why? ”

An Dehai said: "Su Yu has great ability, but he is too domineering, and he is unwilling to be left behind." And although Lord Ronglu has great ability, he is loyal and obedient, and he will go wherever the master tells him to go. ”

Cixi nodded, that's the truth.

Everyone wants to use Su Yu's skills, but he is unwilling to be a minion, which is very troublesome.

After the emperor died, the twenty-seven-year-old Xingzhen's mind naturally came alive.

Even the various pictures of his lifelong agreement with Su Yu many years ago have also emerged.

There has been no impetuous spring heart for several years, and it has even been a little burning.

But the most important thing in front of him is power.

If Su is dragged into the center, this person's ability is too great, can he hold it down.

She may need a lover, but this lover also needs a minion, a minion who can do things, and who is loyal to him.

Su Yu is good at everything.

is an excellent lover, exciting, and the ability to do things is superb, the emperor even said that with him in the center of the government, the Qing Dynasty is afraid that it will really prosper.

But alas, he is not a good minion.

Therefore, as for whether Su Yu can use it or not, the Empress Dowager Cixi has not yet thought about it. Longing for his body and emotions, but rejecting his ideals and ambitions.

…………………………

The other side.

There are terrible rumors in Chengde Palace.

said that the Empress Dowager Cixi not only had an affair with a man before entering the palace, but also continued to have an affair with this man after entering the palace.

Even after giving birth to a dragon son, he went out of the palace several times to have trysts with this man.

Stop!

Everyone was in a hurry.

The first time there was a scandal about the Queen Mother, it may have been just an accident.

The second time it came out, it was an ironclad conspiracy.

The Empress Dowager Cixi was furious, and the Empress Dowager Ci'an was also furious.

Once again, the Empress Dowager Ci'an ordered an investigation.

Outcome...... I also found the people around Monk Greenqin Fujin.

Similarly, by the time this person was found, his body had already exploded.

At this time, Monk Lingqin almost pinched Fujin's neck and roared angrily: "Did you pass it on, did you say it?" Do you want us to cut us down? ”

His Fu Jin struggled desperately: "It's not me, it's not me, I haven't said half a sentence since the last turmoil." ”

Monk Lingqin said: "Then before the last turmoil, did you say anything after Concubine Yi gave birth to a dragon, how many times did she go out of the palace to have a tryst with a man?" ”

Fu Jin said: "Maybe I've said it a few times in private, but I don't know if I'm the only one who says this." She suddenly left the palace at night and went back to her parents' house to save her relatives. ”

Monk Grinqin roared angrily: "One day, our whole family will be killed by you!" ”

Fu Jin said: "It's not our family who said it, I don't know how many people say it." ”

Monk Greenqin said: "But you have a big mouth, and the most people come out of you, so now people want to weave conspiracies, and they all go out of our house." ”

Fu Jin said: "Our family is Prince Horqin, and he has tens of thousands of horse teams in his hands, what does she dare to do?" Boyan is still the coach of the Tianjin New Army, what should she do? ”

Monk Lingqin said: "What you can't do now doesn't mean you can't do in the future." ”

Fu Jin said: "Now that Su Lu is so threatening, the imperial court can only coax you and Rong Lu's army to rely on you." ”

Monk Lingqin said angrily: "Then don't you think that she may simply collude with Su Yu?" ”

"Whose conspiracy is this? Aren't you afraid that you will really force the Queen Mother to Su Yu's side? It's going to be a big deal! ”

………………………………

Next, Monk Greenqin went to kneel to see the Empress Dowager Cixi again.

Last time, the Queen Mother met him with a pleasant face, and said that this was obviously a plan to dissociate, she could see through it, and asked the monk king not to be careful.

And this time.

Monk Lingqin knelt outside for a quarter of an hour, but the Queen Mother was never summoned.

He just knelt straight and motionless, and everyone who came and went looked at him with a slightly strange gaze.

Monk Greenqin is also very proud.

Although he lost the battle this time, his Mongolian horse team was not greedy for life or afraid of death, but charged one round after another.

Now in the imperial court, he has the most troops and is the most capable of fighting.

Why should you be angry with a woman?

So with an angry snort, Monk Lingqin got up and left directly.

Over there, An Dehai also immediately went back to the Queen Mother and said, "Queen Mother, Monk Greenqin left, only knelt for a quarter of an hour and left, and he was quite angry when he left. ”

Cixi suddenly trembled with anger.

Okay, you monk Grinqin, the scandalous rumors came out of your Fujin, the first time was just that, and now there is a second time, and it is getting more and more unbearable.

Now kneel for a quarter of an hour, and you're impatient?

Originally, Cixi planned to let Monk Lingqin kneel for about half an hour, and she summoned him again and beat him twice.

As a result, the people left in a quarter of an hour.

In this way, the relationship will be difficult to recover.

It has officially entered the chain of suspicion and semi-hostility.

……………………

That same evening.

Su Shun and others secretly summoned the monk Lingqin.

"Monk King, tell us honestly, did the emperor hand over the plan to secretly eradicate Su Yu to you and Rong Lu?" Su Shun was straightforward.

Monk Lingqin said: "Su Zhongtang, I don't know how many times I have answered this question. ”

Du Han stepped forward and said, "King Monk, I only want to ask you one thing, is the private relationship between Su Yu and Concubine Yi true?" ”

Monk Greenqin's face suddenly changed drastically.

Du Han said: "Monk King, the emperor also knows about this matter, so he put Concubine Yi under house arrest for a month. At that time, the emperor definitely wanted to kill him, why did you think this was not killed? ”

"Is it because he's the mother of the crown prince? There are many mothers and children, and the new emperor has always grown up with the Empress Dowager Ci'an, and he is not close to the Yehenara clan. ”

"Even if the first emperor gets rid of the Yehenara clan, it will have no effect on the emperor."

"Then why didn't the first emperor kill Concubine Yi at that time? There is only one reason, I want to kill Su Yu by the hand of Concubine Yi! ”

"And first put her under house arrest for a month, made her despair, and finally pardoned her at a critical moment, and gave him the imperial seal of his fellow Daotang, so that he could go from hell to heaven."

"Concubine Yi and Su Yu have a personal relationship, so only she can summon Su Yu into Beijing and into the palace."

"And the monk king and Rong Lu have soldiers in their hands, the key is in the main hall, the emperor did not kill Yi Guifei, but gave him the imperial seal of the same hall, all the ministers who took care of their lives were shocked, including Prince Gong, but the monk and Rong Lu looked as usual, so I guess that the emperor handed over the order to eradicate Su Yu to the two of you, right?"

"Monk, you don't have to tell me yes or no."

"I'll just ask the monk king one thing." Du Han Dao; "Is the private relationship between Concubine Yi and Su Yu true?"

Monk Greenqin said: "I'm afraid it's true." ”

Du Han said: "Since this private affair is true, then at the critical moment, did she really use the new emperor's will to summon Su Yu into Beijing?" What about entering the center? At the critical moment, instead of ordering the killing, but joining forces with him, what should we do? ”

"We all know Su Yu's methods. Once he and Concubine Yi join forces, our group of people will be in danger. ”

Monk Lingqin was silent.

Du Han said: "Monk King, does the emperor have another secret decree?" For example, if Concubine Yi can't do it at that time, or changes her mind and doesn't kill Su Yu, you can just do it and eradicate her and Su Yu together? ”

As soon as these words came out, Monk Greenqin's face changed drastically.

Is this Duhan so smart?

It is no wonder that at the last moment, although the emperor trusted Du Han very much, he never recruited Du Han when talking about secret matters.

When Du Han saw Monk Lingqin's expression, he was even more convinced that he had guessed correctly.

So Du Han said: "Is that the emperor has a secret plan in the hands of the Empress Dowager Ci'an, and this edict can have the righteousness of doing everything?" ”

Monk Greenqin simply closed his eyes, not wanting to reveal any emotions.

This Du Han is simply a roundworm in the emperor's stomach, and he completely guesses how to deploy it.

Du Han said: "The monk king doesn't have to answer us about these things. I only ask the monk king three questions. ”

"The first question, is the commander of the Tianjin New Army Rong Lu or Bo Yan."

"The second question, is there room for détente between you and the Queen Mother? Even if she doesn't do it to you today, won't she do it to you in the future? ”

"The third question, Rong Lu and the Queen Mother are also childhood sweethearts, when it really comes to the last moment, will she and Rong Lu do something to you?"

Monk Grinqin hissed, "What exactly do you want to do?" ”

Du Han said: "It's very simple, if it's really as I guessed. The first emperor really handed over the plan to eradicate Su Yu to you and Rong Lu, so when you do it, you will eradicate Su Yu, Rong Lu, and Yehenala clan together, so that it can be done once and for all! ”

As soon as these words came out, Monk Greenqin's face changed drastically and said, "You guys are crazy! ”

Du Han said: "It's not us who are crazy, but the monk king, you are confused, thinking that you still have a way out." The two scandals of the Queen Mother broke out from the source of your family, and she has long hated you to the core. And she and Su Yu have an old relationship, and it is likely that they will not really attack Su Yao. At that time, the only result will be that she and Rong Lu will join forces to eradicate you, if you don't fight back, I'm afraid that you will already die and have no place to bury. ”

Du Han said: "But as long as you change your concept and take the opportunity to eradicate the three dogs and men together, the world will be peaceful and the country will be peaceful." The Queen Mother, the Queen Mother, will also be grateful to you. ”

Monk Greenqin's eyes shrank.

Du Han said: "Do you think that the queen mother and queen mother are willing to have two queen mothers?" She's a queen mother of the main palace, isn't it good? And don't forget, she is the niece of Su Zhongtang and Prince Zheng, and she broke her bones and tendons. ”

Su Shun said: "Monk Greenqin, we know that you have taken the greatest risk in this matter. So after the deed is completed, you will be the number one hero of this dynasty. In order to recognize your merits, the Queen Mother and the Emperor will add another prince to your family. At that time, you will be in the Horqin Palace, and there will be two kings, which is unique in this dynasty. ”

Duan Hua next to him said: "One of the princes needs to be demoted." But the prince of the prince, the king of the iron hat, hereditary repudiation, not degraded. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked towards Duanhua.

The reward of the two kings is not counted, but there is also an iron hat king?! This...... It's too much.

There were a total of eight iron hat kings in this dynasty, and four were added later.

I don't know how many years, and the Iron Hat King has not been added.

Su Shun said slowly: "I, Su Shun, what I have said, it still counts." I haven't sold my teammates at all. ”

"Monk Greenqin, this is not against the emperor's will at all, he wants to kill Su Yu, and he also wants to kill Concubine Yi."

"You did it, you are really the number one hero of this dynasty, and you are also the benefactor of all of us."

"And only you can do this, Rong Lu's Tianjin New Army, to a certain extent, is also commanded by Boyan, and it is not difficult for him to take the opportunity to arrange a few people. Buying a few people is not tender. ”

"As long as you promise, this matter is nine out of ten."

"Eradicate the Yehenala clan, Rong Lu, and Su Yu in one fell swoop, the country is stable, and the emperor is worry-free."

………………………………

Meanwhile!

The Empress Dowager Cixi also secretly summoned Rong Lu.

"Rong Lu, what do you think about Monk Greenqin?"

Rong Lu said respectfully: "Back to the Queen Mother, he is a loyal minister. ”

The Queen Mother said: "The two rumors about the palace came out of his house. ”

Rong Lu said: "That's probably someone's plan to divide the world." ”

The Queen Mother said: "Then do you think this divisive plan has been accomplished?" He knelt outside for a quarter of an hour, and then he went away indignantly, feeling that he had been humiliated. ”

Rong Lu was silent for a while and said, "It's difficult. ”

The Queen Mother said: "Then do you think he will collude with Su Shun to eradicate you and me together in the name of eradicating Su Yu, using the rumors and scandals between me and Su Yu?" ”

Rong Lu trembled and said, "The slave is broken, and he must protect the Queen Mother." ”

The Queen Mother said: "How do you control the Tianjin New Army?" ”

Rong Lu said: "Seventy or eighty." ”

The Queen Mother said: "In other words, there are still two or three percent in the hands of Boyan Nemohu?" ”

Rong Lu said: "Yes. ”

The Queen Mother said: "Therefore, Monk Greenqin has the ability and a certain intention, can do this, and take the opportunity to wipe out the three of us." ”

Rong Lu said: "The slave is broken to pieces......

The Queen Mother waved her hand to stop him from repeating the sentence.

"What do you think of Su Yu?" The Queen Mother asked again.

Rong Lu's back was cold, his scalp was numb, this question had already been asked by the Queen Mother once, but this time she obviously wanted a different answer.

After a long while, Rong Lu said: "The capable minister who rules the world, the hero of the troubled times." Even this sentence is not enough to show his talent. ”

The Queen Mother said: "And then? ”

Rong Lu said: "What he wants to do, no one can stop it, the first emperor can't stop it, and you can't stop it." “

The Queen Mother said: "Why should I stop him? The first emperor didn't like to run factories and engage in foreign affairs, so the palace didn't matter, he could do it well. As long as he obeys my will, I let him do it, he can train if he wants to, and he will run a factory if he wants to. ”

Rong Lu said, "His credit is too great, his army wants Chen Qiao to mutiny, what should I do?" ”

The Queen Mother said: "Then let him be in charge of government affairs and not touch the army." The government affairs were handed over to him, and Yi stared at him from the sidelines. The military affairs are entrusted to you, so that you have the army and can control him. ”

Rong Lu said: "What he has to do is too big, if he wants to rectify the flag affairs and get rid of the power of the Eight Banners, will the Queen Mother support it?" ”

"In the future, there will be more and more factories, and the talents needed will be completely different, he wants to reform the imperial examination, and he wants to abolish the thousand-year-old imperial examination, what should I do? The Queen Mother does not support it? ”

"He is running more and more factories, and those who control the money in the factories want to get more power, what if they want to have a constitutional monarchy like the West? The Queen Mother does not support it? ”

The Queen Mother said: "Will he really do this in the future?" ”

Rong Lu said: "It will be, now is a great change unseen in a thousand years." This person is also a great talent that has not been encountered in a hundred years, and no one can stop his way, and no one can stop what he wants to do, unless he is directly destroyed. If he just wanted to run a foreign affairs and build a factory, the first emperor canonized his foreign minister, and he took it. So it's not that he wants to seek power, but that he does something so big that he has to seek power. ”

"Unless the Queen Mother fully supports him, and the Queen Mother doesn't ask about any decisions he makes, and directly stamps him with a seal, then there will be no contradiction between the two of you. It is okay for the Queen Mother to want to lead him into the center, but she must be mentally prepared, on the surface, the Queen Mother of the two palaces is the mainstay. But in fact, it is still necessary to have one other will. ”

"If the subordination relationship is not clear, even if the Queen Mother introduces Su Yu, she will fall into contradictions and dangers."

Yehenara was silent, and said for a long time: "But now Sushun's side obviously can't tolerate me, and I was under house arrest for a month, which was his slander to the emperor. If it is not destroyed, it will be difficult for the palace to be safe. And now they may have begun to collude with Monk Lingqin, planning to murder the palace. ”

Rong Lu thought for a while and said: "Queen Mother, the key is Monk Greenqin, this person can fight for it." ”

Yehenara said: "It's all this time, can he still fight?" ”

Rong Lu said: "Yes, this rumor may be a discordant tactic, or the monk King Fujin unintentionally flowed out." But no matter what, the monk king is above board, he is completely loyal to the emperor, if he is completely afraid, he is likely to really collude with Su Shun and others. But now that the status of the monarch and the minister has been decided, the queen mother is the king. Unless he had to, he didn't want to be an enemy of the Queen Mother, this was the deepest thought in his psyche. ”

"After kneeling for a moment, he left because he was arrogant, not hostile to the Queen Mother."

"Therefore, the slave is willing to make it clear to Monk Lingqin and pull him over completely."

The Queen Mother said: "Why don't you want me to pull Su Yu into the gang, right?" ”

Rong Lu said: "The slave is completely obedient to the Queen Mother's decree, as long as you decide to unite with Su Yu to deal with Su Shun and the others, then the slave will be completely obedient, and immediately contact Su Yu to plan the layout." But as your most loyal minion, Su Yu's ambition is too great to control, and pulling him into the gang is a last resort. The best strategy is still to win over Monk Greenqin. ”

"As long as you win over Monk Greenqin, you can solve Su Shun and others, then the Queen Mother will summon Su Lu into Beijing and enter the palace, I and Monk Greenqin will join forces to help the Queen Mother, everything is as stable as Mount Tai. Whether Su Yu is caught, used, or used first, it is determined by the Queen Mother. ”

"The slave first went to get the monk Greenqin, and then persuaded Prince Gong, and then sent someone to publicly ask for an order in the court, asking the queen mother of the two palaces to listen to the government, if the Sushun party dared to object, the queen mother of the two palaces immediately issued an edict, and the minister and the monk Greenqin had an army in their hands, and they could take down all the Sushun party."

"At that time, whether the Sushun party is dead or alive will be all up to the will of the Queen Mother!"

"The Queen Mother wants to destroy the Su Shun party, she doesn't need Su Yu, it's enough for the slaves to join forces with Monk Lingqin and Prince Gong."

"The Queen Mother listens to the government, and after she holds the power, the real righteousness is in hand, and whether or not to summon Su to Beijing at that time is completely your will."

"Su Yu is domineering, he must not let him send charcoal in the snow, let alone let him help lay the overall situation. Otherwise, he will not be rewarded for his great achievements. ”

"Even if you want to use Su Yu, the dust has settled in the middle of the court, and you take the initiative to show grace."

"If this person wants to use it, he must also be struck hard, and he can only use it after striking his prestige."

The Queen Mother fell into a deep groan.

Rong Lu said: "This is the foolish opinion of the slave racking his brains, as the so-called fool has a thousand thoughts, and there must be one." Now there are rumors outside that the Queen Mother and Su Yu have a personal affair, if he is summoned into the game, it will only confirm the scandal even more, and the Queen Mother has lost her righteousness, but it has given Su Shun and the party a handle. ”

"An monk's heart, and then join forces with the monk king and the king Gong!"

"Then, come forward to ask the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces to listen to the government."

"Carry out a coup d'état and eradicate the Sushun party."

"This is a three-move move that the minion thinks, and the order cannot be wrong."

"Only after completing these three moves can we consider Su Yu's matter, he is an outsider, and he must not be led into the game at this time, otherwise the chess game will be chaotic."

The Queen Mother said: "It is said that Su Yu's wisdom is unparalleled, and he regards the world as a chess game, and your Ronglu is not much worse." ”

Rong Lu kowtowed and said: "The slave doesn't dare to be praised by the Queen Mother, the slave will never be a chess player, and will always be just a chess piece in the hands of the Queen Mother." ”

The Queen Mother said: "Since you have conceived the chess game so clearly, then do as you say." ”

Rong Lu said: "The slave leads the order, thank you!" ”

The Queen Mother said: "Don't let this palace down." ”

Rong Lu looked at the Queen Mother, and said with a blazing gaze: "The slave is broken to pieces, and he just asks the Queen Mother to show her face." ”

Then, Rong Lu turned and left.

…………………………………………

A few hours later!

Rong Lu once again had a secret meeting with Monk Greenqin.

"Monk King, the two of us are grasshoppers on a rope, you shouldn't forget the edict of the first emperor, right? You shouldn't have disobeyed the will of the emperor, right? Rong Lu said.

Monk Lingqin said: "What did you say? As long as you Rong Zhonghua is a loyal minister, could it be that my monk Grinqin is a traitor? ”

Rong Lu said: "Then do you remember our mission?" ”

Monk Greenqin said: "Kill Su Xuan." ”

Rong Lu said: "Destroy Su Yu, a total of three important people, you, me, the Queen Mother, the three of us cannot be separated." ”

Monk Greenqin's face suddenly became complicated.

Rong Lu said: "Monk King, tell me honestly, the recent rumors about the Queen Mother were spread by your family?" ”

Monk Lingqin said coldly: "Ronglu, what do you mean? Do you want to ask for the queen mother? ”

Rong Lu said: "This is a typical divisive plan, can't you see it?" ”

Monk Lingqin said: "What if you see it? The Queen Mother has already blamed me, and I will not escape it in the future. ”

Rong Lu was silent for a while, and said, "Monk King, do you want to get rid of Su Yu?" ”

Monk Lingqin said: "Of course, I have a deep hatred with Su Yu. ”

Rong Lu said: "In this world, the person who doesn't want Su to come out is me, and the person who doesn't want him to enter the center is me." Because in everyone's eyes, I am his replacement. Whether it's in the first emperor or in the Queen Mother, can you understand me? ”

Monk Lingqin said: "Yes." ”

Rong Lu said: "At this most critical moment, the three of us must be absolutely honest with each other, without a trace of suspicion or discord. ”

Monk Grinqin was silent.

Rong Lu said: "Just now, the Queen Mother summoned me, and she said that she knew that it was a divisive plan. But he is afraid, you have already colluded with Su Shun. She sensed a mortal crisis, so he asked me if I needed to bring in Su Yu as a foreign aid. ”

Monk Greenqin's face changed drastically.

Rong Lu said: "What will be the consequences once the Queen Mother introduces Su Yu as a foreign aid?" You and I know that very well. ”

"Monk King, the Queen Mother doesn't want to introduce Su Yu as foreign aid, you are the first choice, but if you join Su Shun's camp, then she has no choice but to introduce Su Yu as foreign aid."

"Su Yu, the hero of the troubled times, what he has to do is too big, so he has to occupy the absolute initiative, although the Queen Mother has had a personal affair with him, but she definitely doesn't want to lead him as foreign aid, this person is too domineering, too domineering."

"Monk King, do you want the Queen Mother to really be with Su Yu?"

"If you really collude with Su Shun, then the Queen Mother will have no choice but to lead Su Yu as foreign aid, and at that time, I will completely obey the will of the Queen Mother."

Monk Greenqin said angrily: "Ronglu, are you crazy? Have you forgotten the last will of the first emperor? Eradicating Su Yu is our greatest mission. ”

Rong Lu roared: "You also know that this is our greatest mission, and this matter requires the three of us to unite as one. If you follow Su Shun and stay together, what will you let us do? Sitting still? We all want to get rid of Su Yu, but first we have to save our lives. ”

Monk Lingqin said: "I also want to unite as one, but the Queen Mother has already blamed me and hated me." ”

Rong Lu said: "This is a dissension plan, a discord plan!" ”

Then, Monk Greenqin continued: "Whether it is a discord plan or not, he has already worked. ”

Rong Lu was silent for a while and said, "What did Su Shun promise you?" ”

Monk Grinqin did not speak.

Rong Lu said: "Say, what did Su Shun promise you?" The Iron Hat King? If he promises, the Queen Mother can also agree. What Su Shun has no ability to give, the Queen Mother has the ability to give. The Queen Mother of the Two Palaces holds the imperial seal and the righteousness. ”

Monk Greenqin thought for a while and said, "There are two princes in our family, one of whom is the Iron Hat King. “

Rong Lu said: "He really dares to talk about white teeth, does he have the right to give these things?" ”

"Good!"

Rong Lu slapped the table and said, "I will fight for you for this condition." There is only a sixty percent chance on Su Shun's side, but there is an eighty percent possibility on the Queen Mother's side. If needed, I'll go and help the Queen Mother fight for you now. ”

In the final analysis, Monk Grinqin is a loyal minister.

He was loyal to the emperor, which in turn extended to the little emperor and the empress dowager of the two palaces.

So, he asked, "What's your plan?" ”

"Ronglu, you said you had to be honest." "If you want to pull me onto the warship, you must tell me all the plans for the future. ”

Rong Lu said: "If I tell you the plan, it is equivalent to putting myself on the board, and I may be slaughtered by you in the future." If you tell Su Shun about the plan, the Queen Mother may be fine, but I, Ronglu, are basically over. ”

"But ......"

"I believe in the monk king, and I am willing to put my life in your hands."

"In this environment of suspicion, there has to be someone to be honest, even if that can be broken. But...... I am willing to give my honesty, and I am willing to give my life to the hands of the monks. ”

"I need to convince you first to calm your heart. Then go and lobby Prince Gong. ”

"In this way, we have the auxiliary prince in our hands, and we also have military power. Next, we will launch a coup d'état, imploring the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces to listen to the government. ”

Hearing this, Monk Greenqin's body trembled slightly.

I really didn't expect Rong Lu to be so frank.

Rong Lu continued: "This is my plan, Monk King, how can I cut off the Queen Mother's heart to lead Su Yu as a foreign aid?" How can we completely eliminate Su Yu? We must first eliminate the hidden dangers in the heart of the Queen Mother, and what are her hidden dangers? That is the Sushun Party. ”

"As long as the Su Shun party brings a huge threat to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother will really want to lure Su Lu as foreign aid."

"Monk King, the three of us are born to be a party, why do you want to get involved with Su Shun and the others?"

Monk Lingqin fell silent and said, "Then what if the Queen Mother settles accounts with me after the autumn?" ”

Rong Lu said: "Why does the Queen Mother want to settle accounts after the autumn, this vicious rumor is obviously concocted by the Sushun party, just to dismantle our iron triangle." As soon as Su Shun's henchmen fell, why did the Queen Mother settle accounts with you, did she have any conflicts of interest with you before? Would you offend her authority? Let me say a word of heart-wrenching, in the future, Prince Gong may have a conflict with the Queen Mother, and you will not have any conflict with the Queen Mother. ”

"We and the Queen Mother are completely in harmony for both benefits, and division for two harms."

Monk Greenqin's scales suddenly began to shift greatly.

Historically, he also chose to stand on the side of the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces.

This is a completely natural position for him.

Rong Lu said: "Monk King, what are you still worried about? What are you waiting for? Do you really want the Queen Mother to lead Su Yu as a foreign aid and enter the center? ”

"Do you know what is the biggest political space in Su Yu right now? is the contradiction and political struggle between the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces and the Sushun Party, as long as the two factions tear open a huge crack, then he Su Yu will have room to insert. ”

"And we have to cut off any possibility of him now, as long as we help the Queen Mother eliminate the Su Shun party, Su Yu will forever lose the opportunity to enter the center."

"Why can't you see something so clearly?"

Monk Grinqin was caught in a life-and-death decision.

Rong Lu didn't say a word, and directly drew his sword and handed it to Monk Greenqindao.

"Monk King, now you are faced with two choices, either follow me to see the Queen Mother, be loyal to the Queen Mother, and cut off all political space for Su Yao."

"Or, if you continue to collude with Su Shun, then I will definitely die, then it is better for you to kill me in advance, so it will be a hundred. I also don't want to see the future where we are ruined and our families are ruined. ”

Then, Rong Lu stuffed the sword directly into Monk Lingqin's hand, and the blade was placed on his neck.

Then, close your eyes and wait for death.

After a long while, Monk Greenqin shouted: "Let's go, you Ronglu is a loyal minister, and my Monk Greenqin is also a loyal minister, in order to eradicate Su Yu, for the sake of the country, why is the emperor's will, my Horqin Mansion also put my family's life on the line, and I will fight with you." ”

Rong Lu let out a long breath.

This is also a success!

He and Monk Lingqin are the ones who hold the power of the army, as long as the two of them stand beside the Queen Mother, Su Shun and the others will not be able to turn the sky.

It will definitely not leave any room for Su Yu to drill into the center.

"Let's go, monk." Rong Lu was overjoyed and said: "I will take you to see the Queen Mother, I will guarantee with my life, what Su Shun may not be able to give you, the Queen Mother will definitely give you." ”

"Let's make a decision first, first destroy Su Shun, and then destroy Su Yu."

"Let the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces listen to the government first, and then eradicate Su Yu."

…………………………………………

A few days later!

Jiujiang!

The little eunuch Gui'er told Su Yu everything completely.

Not a single word fell, not even every subtle expression of the Queen Mother.

Su Yu fell into a long silence, and there was thought.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

Lightning and thunder roared outside.

Su Yu entered the courtyard and did not allow anyone to approach, and then he took out his tablet to surf the Internet.

He told everything he knew, in detail.

The small crowd fell silent.

After a long while, the eighth sister said, "Awesome." ”

The young bald said: "Amazing, the index of infighting among this group of people is too strong." ”

The eighth sister said: "Cixi's mind is very obvious, she doesn't want to put her fate in the hands of Su Yu. She wants to grasp the absolute power first, and then even if she leads Su Yu into the center, she must do it with a gifted act. In this relationship, take the absolute initiative. ”

"He needs a lover, a minion." You Su Yu can take advantage of her righteousness and can be under her wings, but first you have to pull out your own wings yourself. ”

The eighth sister said: "To be more precise, she wants to control your life and death." Maybe she'll be very kind to you, and you'll be very sexy, but only if she's in full control of you. ”

Red flags were planted all over the Manchu Qing Dao: "Now, if you want to break the game, it's very simple." ”

The eighth sister said: "Say." ”

Red flags were planted all over the Manchu Qing Dynasty: "Assassinate Monk Greenqin, or assassinate Ronglu." As long as one of these two people is assassinated, Su Bacun will be able to gain the initiative. The Empress Dowager Cixi asked Su Yu to enter the center to help him deal with Su Shun and others. ”

The young bald said: "Yes, assassinate either of the two." Especially the monk Lingqin, as long as he is assassinated, the center of the court will fall into complete turmoil, and everyone will be in danger. The panicked Empress Dowager Cixi could only lead Su Miao into the center. ”

"Agreed!"

"Agreed!"

"Agreed!"

Everyone in the small group agreed with this opinion, and they all felt that assassinating Monk Grinqin was the most cost-effective method.

However, Su Yu never expressed his position.

After a long while, the eighth sister said, "Su Yu, what about your decision?" ”

Ying Nian said baldly: "As long as you assassinate one of the monks and Ronglu, everything will be solved." ”

Su Yu was still silent.

After a long moment, he said, "I...... Don't want to be like this! ”

"Assassination is a good method, but it will make this court center full of disgusting conspiracies."

"It will make the entire center full of dark genes."

"Even if I want to kill them, I will punish them properly, not assassinate them!"

"The assassination of Count Ergin is a vent of anger, and it has almost nothing to do with the overall political situation."

"When it comes to the big political situation, I don't want to use assassination anymore."

"At least, I don't want to use assassination to get into the center."

Yingnian said baldly: "Su Bacun, then there is no solution, our opponent is too strong in internal fighting, Monk Greenqin and Rong Lu have military power, although the army is not very strong, but in the existing imperial court, it is completely enough." If the two of them stand by the side of the Empress Dowager Cixi, then there will be no room for you, and you will not be able to enter the center of the imperial court. ”

"Even if it enters the center in the future, it will be a gift from the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces."

"Such a political position is very passive, even humble."

Su Yu said slowly: "What is the biggest political capital I have now?" ”

The young bald said: "Reputation, save the capital, save the righteousness of the palace." ”

Su Yu said: "Yes, so I don't want to survive in the cracks of politics." I don't need the mercy of the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces, waiting for them, longing for them to give me the opportunity to enter the center. ”

"I'm going to create my own opportunities to get into the center."

The eighth sister said: "How to do it?" (trembling)

Su Yu said slowly: "Lead the army to the north, enter the center, preconceived, Qingjun side!" ”

"Qingjun side?!"

"Qingjun's side ?!!!!"

"Ah......h

Several people in the small group fell into complete consternation.

This is completely out of plan.

There were many alternatives before, almost any possibility was considered, and a workaround was given.

Even, although the situation in front of me is confusing and complicated.

However, it still did not exceed the scope of the previous deduction.

And, too, related solutions.

But, among all the solutions, there is no option on the Qingjun side.

After a long while, the eighth sister said: "Su Yu, now that I have lost the opportunity on the side of the Qingjun, there is no righteousness." ”

Young bald said: "Yes, there really isn't." ”

Su Yu said: "No, there are still ones!" ”

"It's a very alternative Qingjun side, a clever Qingjun side."

"Be able to set up a separate center!"

"I will never give the righteousness and the initiative to anyone, even the Empress Dowager Cixi."

"We need to abandon the previous cognitive inertia."

"Even if you need to cooperate, you need to take the absolute initiative."

"I will never leave my fate to the judgment of others, especially the Empress Dowager Cixi."

"I just flip the table, don't play conspiracy, don't play charm!"

Another center?

Alternative Qingjun side?

After a long while, the eighth sister said, "Su Bacun, you can talk about it." ”

……………………………………

A few days later!

A new minister from the British Empire arrives in China.

In addition, Su's ally, Sir Bashali, got his wish to sit as the British Empire's counsellor in the Qing Dynasty.

And Chengde Palace.

After countless quarrels, countless controversies.

Because the emperor left the capital, it has been almost a year.

The officials in the capital poured over like a tidal wave.

It's been a month since the new emperor ascended the throne, why hasn't he returned to Luan?

Is the coffin of Emperor Daxing always placed in Chengde, and there is no need to enter Beijing to let hundreds of officials pay homage to their peers?

Wouldn't it have been sent to Tanglin one day earlier?

Therefore, Gu ordered the nine ministers to draft a decree, and the queen mother of the two palaces used the seal.

It was decreed.

The emperor, the queen mother of the two palaces, and the entire imperial court, officially returned to Luan on the ninth day of September.

And at the same time.

The new army of Su Yu in Jiujiang was once again assembled.

Armed to the teeth, it is the most elite and powerful force.

With an order, this team once again went north and entered Beijing!

Complete Su Yu's alternative Qingjun side.

Note: High school classmates come to Shanghai and haven't seen each other for more than 20 years, so they have dinner together, and the pastries are sewn and inserted.

It's only a little late today, and it will definitely be updated tomorrow before half past ten. Gentlemen, can I still ask for a monthly pass?

Thank you very much for pastries!
