Chapter 228: The Great Qing Split? The final competition!
Monk Lingqin directly took out the holy decree and said, "Prince Hui, I have a holy decree in my hands."
After that, Monk Lingqin directly took out the previous holy decree to let Su Lu retreat.
"The Emperor made it clear that any divine decree is composed of three parts. Gu ordered the minister to draft the decree, and the queen mother of the two palaces used the seal. My decree is a three-part decree that is truly authoritative. What about your share, Prince Hui? There is no minister's formulation, only the seal of the queen mother's royal reward, how can it compare to mine?"
Prince Hui said, "There is a precedence of the holy decrees, and in the same matter, the later holy decrees often overwrite the previous holy decrees, don't the monks understand this?"
Monk Lingqin said in a cold voice: "Who knows, whether the Queen Mother and the Empress Dowager and the Emperor have fallen under Su Yu's control, this holy decree was forced to be written."
Prince Hui said angrily, "Monk Lingqin, what do you think of me?"
Monk Lingqin said, "Prince Hui, do you want to be in the same league with Su Yu, Dong Zhuo? Aren't you afraid of a stench that will last for 10,000 years?"
Prince Hui laughed angrily, "Okay, okay, okay!"
"Monk Grinqin, I have already recited the holy decree, if you have the courage, you can resist the decree."
"The Queen Mother and the Emperor are in the capital, in the palace, you can lead the army to continue southward and attack the capital directly."
"Farewell!"
Then, Prince Hui Mianyu turned around and left directly.
Monk Lingqin stood in place, struggling for a long time.
"Set up camp and garrison!"
"Send an envoy to Chengde immediately!"
Next, nearly 20,000 cavalry of Seng Lingqin camped thirty miles away from the capital.
Neither forward nor backward.
………………………………
The next day, inside the Chengde Palace.
Nine ministers who care for their lives, as well as the Empress Dowager Cixi, are deliberating.
"Spread all over the world, Su Lu kidnapped the Queen Mother and the Emperor, and conspired against him!"
"Su Yu is Dong Zhuo!"
"Back then, the princes of the Eighteenth Route crusaded against Dong Zhuo, and now we immediately order the world, and the troops of all provinces will enter the king of Jingqin to save the queen mother and save the emperor!" Duhan shouted.
Prince Gong said, "Now the key is Prince Hui, not Su Yu, who is completely hiding behind."
Bo Yan said, "That can't change the fact that he kidnapped the queen mother and the emperor. He wants to prove that he is not Dong Zhuo, it is very simple, just withdraw the army, and then hand over the capital to us completely."
The monk king was not there for the time being, and Boyan, as the son, spoke in place of his father.
Du Han said: "Su Yu pushed Prince Hui in front, completely concealing the fact that he was Dong Zhuo. So we must let Prince Hui shut up, we can't let him represent the capital, and we can't let him become Su Zhuo's mouthpiece, as long as Su Yu comes out and opens his eyes, then his true face of Dong Zhuo can't be covered."
"Now that the emperor and the queen mother are imprisoned by Su Yu, the capital has lost its authority to command the world."
"I must tell the people of the world that the governors of the provinces are now the center of the imperial court."
"Three-pronged approach, first, to spread the edict to the world, Su Yu abducted the Queen Mother and the Emperor, Dong Zhuo's crime has become a fact, any will of the capital is written down by the Queen Mother by Su Yu, and she has completely lost her authority."
"Second, let the officials in the capital stand in line, at least everyone shut up, whoever dares to speak will be with Dong Zhuo. Send envoys to the governors of various provinces and ask them to stand in line, whether they are loyal to Su Zhuo, the Dong Zhuo, or to the center of Chengde. Call on the whole world to go to the province, enter the king of Jingqin, and the princes of the Eighteenth Route crusade against Su Yao."
"Third, let the ministers of various countries come to Chengde to present their credentials and recognize the Chengde center as the legitimate government of the Qing Dynasty."
"And, most importantly. The coffin of Emperor Daxing is still in Chengde, please ask the Queen Mother and the Emperor to return to Chengde to support the spirit."
"The governors of the provinces also immediately entered Beijing to give the funeral of Emperor Daxing!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately looked at Du Han.
Awesome!
sue
After grasping the Queen Mother and the Emperor, Du Han immediately proposed a higher righteousness, the dead Emperor Daxing.
Sure enough, sometimes the dead are more useful than the living.
After the nine ministers were decided, they immediately sent envoys to all the provinces under heaven.
Dozens of messengers.
"Do you want to spread the rumor that Su Yu will disturb the court and cause the anger of the people in the world?" Boyan Nemohu suddenly said: "In this way, it is even more confirmed that he is Dong Zhuo."
"No, never." Du Han said, "The reputation of the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother cannot be tarnished."
Suddenly, everyone understood.
Now the Empress Dowager Ci'an is indeed in the hands of Su Yu, but everyone still needs this Empress Dowager in the future.
Because among the nine ministers, six are not in the same group as the Empress Dowager Cixi, but now the situation forces them to stand by the side of the Empress Dowager Cixi.
Who can say what will happen in the future?
…………………………
Soon, the whole world caused an uproar.
Of course, in the eyes of the whole world, Su Yu is certainly not Dong Zhuo.
What really shocked everyone was, is the Qing Dynasty going to split?
Are there going to be two hubs?
The whole public opinion has completely intensified.
As a result, the entire capital was in a rumor.
Kuang Yuan once again entered Prince Hui's mansion.
"Prince Hui, great news." Kuang Yuan said: "The Chengde Palace feels that you have worked hard and are highly respected, and intends to canonize you as the king of the council!"
Hearing this, Prince Hui Mianyu trembled slightly.
Are you so willing to spend money?
Here is the canonization of the Minister of Military Aircraft, the Minister of the Imperial Front, and the canonization of the King of the Council over there?
Prince Hui said, "What about the conditions?"
Kuang Yuan said: "Su Yu forcibly abducted the Queen Mother and the Emperor, and illegally imprisoned the Queen Mother and the Emperor in the capital, it is completely Dong Zhuo, as the emperor's uncle, for the sake of the ancestors and ancestors, you have to stand up and accuse him of the crime."
"You are highly respected, as long as you stand up and speak, the world will immediately follow you."
After listening to this, Prince Hui Mianyu said, "It is normal for the Queen Mother and the Emperor to stay in the capital, so how can you talk about imprisonment?"
Kuang Yuan said: "Emperor Daxing's coffin is still in Chengde, shouldn't the emperor and the queen mother go to help the spirit return to Beijing?"
Hearing this, Prince Hui Mianyu was slightly stunned.
That's right!
This is also righteousness.
Chengde, on the other hand, is really powerful, and it immediately found the key point of counterattack.
After a long while, Prince Hui said, "You are the king of the council, I can't afford it. I'm old and want to recuperate in the house."
Kuang Yuan said, "Prince Hui? You are highly respected, and you are completely justified in this king."
Prince Hui Mianyu said loudly, "Send off!"
Kuang Yuan said, "Prince Hui, there is something I want to ask you."
Mianyu said, "Say."
Kuang Yuan said: "The Chengde Palace has already passed on the edict to the world, saying that Su Yu Dong Zhuo acted and imprisoned the Queen Mother and the Emperor, and ordered the princes of the world to enter the King of Jingqin to save the Queen Mother and the Emperor."
Prince Hui's face trembled, "Are you crazy? Don't you know that the princes of the Eighteenth Route to fight Dong Zhuo is the beginning of the great chaos in the world?"
Kuang Yuan said, "Yes, this kind of turmoil is indeed too great. But what about having the governors of the provinces go to Chengde to meet the Emperor Daxing?"
Mianyu immediately knew the plan of Chengde Palace.
Using the corpse of Emperor Daxing as the highest name, let the governors of the provinces forcibly stand in line and stand on the side of Chengde.
Whose idea was this? It's amazing.
Kuang Yuan said: "Prince Hui, as the emperor's uncle, is highly respected, since he presided over the emperor's ceremony of sacrificing to the sky, it is only natural that he should preside over the funeral of the emperor Daxing."
Prince Hui fell silent.
Kuang Yuan said, "The lower official resigns."
After leaving, Kuang Yuan smiled slightly.
He knew that his purpose had been achieved.
After Kuang Yuan left, Prince Hui Mianyu immediately closed the gate of the palace tightly.
He didn't know how many times he had done this.
…………………………
In the midst of the world's governors, someone soon responded.
The three general districts of Fengtian, Jilin, and Heilongjiang immediately agreed to go to Chengde.
The governor of Zhili, the governor of Shandong, the governor of Sichuan, the governor of Shanxi, and the governor of Shaanxi promised to go to Chengde.
The governor of Jiangxi, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, and the governor of Zhejiang expressed complete obedience to the will of the capital, and the queen mother and the emperor asked them to go, and they went.
And then...... The eyes of all the people in the world fall on one person.
Zeng Guofan!
At this time, the Hunan army had already mastered Hunan, Hubei, Jiangsu, Anhui, and most of Jiangxi.
Suddenly, in the whole world, the Hunan army actually controlled a quarter of the population.
At this time, the battle of Anqing had been fought for more than a year.
However, after the emperor's southern tour, the Hunan army immediately reduced the intensity of the attack on Anqing.
This posture is very simple, I don't want to lose the troops in my hands, but I want to watch the world.
The envoy of the Chengde Palace came to Yangzhou.
It was an old acquaintance Weng Tonggong, and this champion has now risen rapidly.
"Lord Governor, Su Yu imprisoned the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, just like Dong Zhuo, Zeng Dashuai is the first governor in the world, for the sake of the Qing Dynasty's Jiangshan Sheji, when he raised his arms and shouted, commanded the heroes, and saved the Empress Dowager and the Emperor from fire and water?"
Zeng Guofan was plucking his ears at this time, turned his head sideways and said, "What? Shuping, what are you talking about? I didn't hear clearly."
Weng Tongyi was silent for a while and said: "The edict of the Chengde Palace, the coffin of the Daxing Emperor is still parked in the Chengde Palace, please go to Chengde, pay homage to the remains of the Daxing Emperor, and help the soul back to Beijing together, so that the Daxing Emperor can be buried in the Dongling Tomb and buried in the earth."
At this moment, Zeng Guofan couldn't pretend that he didn't hear it.
After a long time, he said, "This is indeed the case. But my side is fighting against the rebels, and I need to settle down."
Weng Tongshu said, "Of course."
After Weng Tongshu left, Li Hongzhang walked in.
"Teacher, is the world of great controversy coming?" Li Hongzhang's voice trembled, "Is the Great Qing Dynasty going to split into two imperial court centers?"
He didn't finish what he said next.
If the Great Qing Dynasty splits into two centers, then the opportunity for the Hunan army will come completely.
The Hunan army, which occupies four or five provinces, can at least divide the world into three parts, right?
Zeng Guofan said: "The queen mother, the queen mother, is gentle and charitable, and she can't bear to drive Su Yu away. But once the Qing Dynasty is going to split, she will not sit idly by."
"This group of people in the Chengde Palace is persecuting the Queen Mother. If he supports Su Yu to the end, then the Qing Dynasty will really be divided."
"And the Chengde Palace has issued an edict for the governor of the world to go to the Chengde Palace to pay respects to the remains of the first emperor, who can refuse this holy decree? It is to create the fact that all the governors of the world recognize the center of Chengde, but not the center of the capital."
"What should the Empress Dowager Ci'an do in the capital at this time, can he still issue an order for the governor of the world not to go to Chengde to pay homage to Emperor Daxing?"
Li Hongzhang said: "So, in order to keep the Qing Dynasty from splitting, the Empress Dowager Ci'an can only give up her support for Su Yu? And her support was not firm in the first place."
Zeng Guofan said: "Yes, the queen mother of the capital is very soft."
Li Hongzhang was silent for a while and said, "Teacher, we have mastered the five provinces. Only Jiujiang is in Su Yu's hands, and it is like a fish in the throat."
Zeng Guofan waved his hand and said, "The key is not in Jiujiang, but in Su Yu. Without Su Yu, Jiujiang would be fat meat to be slaughtered."
Li Hongzhang said, "Then how do we go next? How do you take sides?"
Zeng Guofan said: "If you don't stand in line, we will."
On the edge of the Yangtze River, then look at the surging river and add fuel to the fire."
Of course, he won't talk to death.
But the meaning was very clear, sitting on the profits, implicitly adding fuel to the fire at the critical moment, and even letting the false split of the Qing court move towards a real split.
Next, Zeng Guofan ordered the Hunan army to enter the rest.
As a result, the battle of Anqing, which had been fought and stopped, was completely stopped.
…………………………
At the same time, several ministers in Shanghai also met with the envoys of the Chengde Palace.
It is hoped that the ministers of several countries will go to the Chengde Palace to submit their credentials, so that it means that the great powers will also recognize the Chengde Center as a legitimate regime.
And several powers, led by the British Empire.
The British Counsellor to the Qing Dynasty, Viscount Jurgen, was sitting opposite the British Minister Bruce.
Sir Bruce said, "Sir Two, you ought to stand in the interests of the British Empire. Once the Qing Kingdom is divided, it will be of great benefit to our British Empire."
"No, it's the opposite. The success of the Jiujiang Pilot Economic Zone just proves that only by reunifying the Qing Dynasty can we better release the productive forces and market potential and bring greater benefits. Once the Qing Dynasty is divided and falls into civil war, the income of the Jiujiang Pilot Economic Zone will drop by more than 40%, and the British Empire's trade with China will also plummet."
"Sir Bruss, please be clear, we already have too much land in the British Empire, we don't have much demand for Qing land, all we need is to open the market and allow our merchants to come and do business."
"The Americans have seen the potential of the Jiujiang Economic Experimental Zone, and they have also seen the great threat to American industry after the cooperation between the British Empire and China, so at this point, its interests are completely opposite to ours, so they will be eager to destroy the Jiujiang Economic Experimental Zone, and they are even more reluctant to see Su Lu enter the center of the Qing court and take power."
"In addition, Russia has territorial claims to the Qing State, and the one who wants to divide the Qing land the most is Russia. Once the Qing court splits, the armies of Tsarist Russia will flood in from the northeast and northwest of the Qing kingdom and take away large tracts of land."
"Therefore, instead of going to Chengde to submit the credentials, we should suppress other countries and not go to Chengde to submit their credentials."
The British minister, Bruce, said, "You mean that we should present our credentials to the capital?"
"No!" Sir Bashali said, "If you don't submit your credentials, when Su Yu really enters the center, and when the situation in the Qing court is stable, you will submit your credentials. Presenting credentials to the capital will only continue to promote the division of the Qing court."
Sir Bruce fell silent.
Sir Bashali said, "Don't forget, you are on our ship, and you also have a stake in the distribution channel of the Jiujiang Economic Pilot Zone in London."
Minister Bruce nodded, "I think my stake should be higher, don't you think?"
Sir Bashali's face twitched slightly, and he knew that the Bruce in front of him had laid so much groundwork just for the sake of opening his mouth at this time.
Suddenly, Ba Xiali nodded and said, "I think this is very reasonable, I will go to the board of directors and apply for your distribution channel stake in London to rise to 9 percent!"
The minister, Sir Bruus, said righteously, "I deeply feel that the Qing Dynasty should not be divided, and I will go to see the ministers of other countries."
After Ser Bruce left, Viscount Jurgen sneered, "Is this the nobility of the Empire? So brazen?"
After Viscount Jurgen came ashore from piracy and became a noble colonel of the British Empire, he paid special attention to aristocratic demeanor.
Sir Bashali said, "They have rotted and completely lost their principles, which is why they need fresh blood like you to cleanse the noble blood of the British Empire."
These words immediately made Viscount Jurgen's heart flutter, as if he had received the greatest affirmation.
"Prince Albert is our aristocratic model." Viscount Jurgen said.
Viscount Jurgen's admiration for Albert is completely speechless.
It's not just the other party
Canonized him as a nobleman, but because when Bashali took him to Prince Albert to ask for this condition. The prince did not have any bargaining, nor did he have any condescension, he directly agreed, and there was no gesture of coercion afterwards, as if everything was taken for granted.
Even, without acting like a corporal of Lixian, he treated Jurgen with the same attitude as a normal nobleman.
"Sir Basha, in the face of the current situation, do we need to help Su Yu do anything?" Viscount Jurgen said.
Ba Xia said: "No, this huge crusade, the shocking Qing court split drama, is destined to be just a storm in a teacup."
Viscount Jurgen said, "Why do you say that?"
Ba Xiali said, "You don't know Su Yu, for him, there are two indicators of whether the matter is critical or not. The first indicator is whether he has sent someone to ask us for help. The second indicator is whether he has sent someone to negotiate with Zeng Guofan."
"But now that neither of these things have happened, it proves that the situation is not critical for him."
Viscount Jurgen said, "Isn't it critical? As a bystander, I felt as if the sky was going to fall apart."
In a separate office, the British Minister, Sir Bruce, was talking to the Ministers of the West.
The attitude is very resolute, and no country is allowed to go to Chengde to submit its credentials.
However, it is just a very resolute attitude.
With all I think, I need you how to how.
And not to say anything, how the British Empire demands from you.
The French minister, Gro, very much hoped to go to the Chengde Palace to submit his credentials and promote the split of the Qing court.
But Sir Bruce said, "No, you France and we in England must be in step on key issues, otherwise it will be a huge political accident."
The French Minister Gro said, "Sir Bruce, your brother, the Earl of Elgin, is a political enemy of Su Wei, are you so firmly on his side?"
Sir Bruce said, "It's not that I'm on his side, it's that our two countries must be on the same page. Otherwise, in Europe, it will be exaggerated tenfold, a hundred times overinterpreted."
During this time, France did follow suit with the British.
So, the end result.
Britain and France refused to deliver their credentials to the Chengde Palace.
However, the United States and Russia still went to the Chengde Palace to submit their credentials.
Stop!
The Chengde Palace celebrated with a crown, which was regarded as a huge diplomatic victory.
Moreover, the three feudal officials of Jilin, Heilongjiang, and Shengjing have rushed to the Chengde Palace.
Mongolia's General Uriya Sutai, General Suiyuan, is also on the way.
A considerable part of the Mongolian royal palaces have also begun to travel to Chengde.
The will to pay homage to the remains of Emperor Daxing is indeed impossible to refuse.
…………………………
At this time in the capital, many scandals have been spread.
What Su Yu sleeps in the dragon bed at night, and the words such as defiling the palace are very colorful.
Even when I got to the market, even the action and the picture were clearly depicted.
"Su Shao's thing is eight or nine inches, who can stand it, the queen mother will cry directly."
"After pounding the queen mother, pounding the palace maid, sleeping ten times a night."
Many scoundrels in the market salivated when they heard this, and somewhere they were also ready to move, and they couldn't wait to go to the Qinglou.
"Su Yu is really blessed, the Queen Mother is only twenty-four years old, and she looks beautiful and tender."
Kuang Yuan was a little surprised when he heard these rumors in Beijing.
Didn't the Chengde Palace say that it was not allowed to tarnish the reputation of the queen mother?
Why are there such rumors, and they are getting worse.
However, as long as Su Zhuo's reputation can be ruined, it doesn't matter, which further confirms the fact that Su Yu is Dong Zhuo.
As a result, this rumor kept drifting into the palace.
Even many palace maids laughed in private.
"Master Su Yu, is that thing really eight or nine inches? I don't believe it, isn't that going to kill people?"
"I've seen Qingqing Gege, although he is tall, he is also relatively slender, where can he stand it?"
"Thin is not shallow, I think you are quite deep, and the wooden stick you hid is also a long section as if it was soaked in oil, but I am afraid that it is also a few inches."
"If you talk nonsense, I'll tear your mouth."
But after laughing, a palace maid said, "The Queen Mother and Lord Su Yu are too wronged, we all know that the two of them are completely innocent."
"Okay, don't talk about it, be careful to be beaten."
The palace has been without a master for more than a year, and the people inside are indeed indulgent, and the Empress Dowager Ci'an does not like to take care of things, and she is soft-hearted, so the palace maids and eunuchs below are also a lot more presumptuous.
At this time, the Empress Dowager Ci'an has been wiping her tears.
At the age of twenty-four, she was directly angry and cried several times.
Originally, she was very flustered, because Kuang Yuan came to see her several times, magnified the situation in the world several times, and told the Empress Dowager Ci'an.
If you support Su Yu like this, I'm afraid that the Great Qing Dynasty will split.
Now the foreign envoy has gone to Chengde to submit his credentials, and the governors of many provinces have gone to Chengde.
When all the governors have arrived and officially paid homage to the remains of Emperor Daxing, it will be officially announced that the Chengde Palace is the only legitimate center.
At that time, I am afraid that the Qing Dynasty will really split.
If you want not to split, it's simple, the queen mother and queen mother no longer support Su Yu.
Chengde Xinggong is to bully the Empress Dowager Ci'an for being timid.
And this young and beautiful queen mother was really frightened, if the Great Qing Dynasty split, then she would become a sinner.
Especially Prince Hui Mianyu hid in the palace and didn't come out, she was even more uneasy.
But then, after the rumors about her and Su Yu spread, her mood changed again.
All right!
You guys are too bullying.
Su Yu and I are obviously innocent, but when it comes to your mouth, it has become like this.
And the rumors are getting more and more unbearable, what Su is messing with the court. What queen mother and palace maid, serving Su Yu alone.
Suddenly, the Empress Dowager Ci'an rebelled.
This group of people in Chengde Xinggong, is this how you treat the mourning family?
Is it really so easy to bully the mourners?
And during this time, Su Yu seemed to be more suspicious, and he didn't enter the palace at all.
Because a long time has passed, the wound on her buttocks has healed, and not long ago the female military doctor came to help her remove the stitches.
Su Yu personally mixed the ointment, let people send it in, and wiped it on the scars on his buttocks, and it was really effective.
Seeing that this line of scar has become shallower and shallower.
However, thinking of some rumors, every time Ci'an put this ointment on his buttocks, he always felt weird.
Then, a voice came from outside.
"Queen Mother, Kuang Yuan asks to see."
Empress Dowager Ci'an frowned, didn't she say that Su Yu imprisoned the mourning family? He didn't enter the palace a few times at all, but you Kuang Yuan entered the palace three times and twice.
Missing!
The Empress Dowager Ci'an almost instinctively wanted to exhale.
But after a moment's hesitation, he said, "See you."
A moment later, through a screen, the Empress Dowager Ci'an summoned the Minister of Military Aircraft, taking into account the Minister of Military Aircraft, Kuang Yuan.
"The minister sees the queen mother, the queen mother, and the queen mother's master, longevity Jin'an."
Empress Dowager Ci'an said coldly, "Don't dare to be."
Then, in a slightly softened voice, she said, "What's the matter?"
Kuang Yuan said: "Over there in the Chengde Palace, let the ministers come and invite the Queen Mother and the emperor to Chengde."
The Queen Mother said, "I've already returned to Beijing, what are you doing with such a toss?"
Kuang Yuan said: "Emperor Daxing's coffin is still in the Chengde Ice Cellar, please ask the Queen Mother and the Emperor to go to Chengde to help Ling go south and return to Beijing, so that Emperor Daxing."
The emperor is in the earth."
Hearing this, Empress Dowager Ci'an's face changed slightly.
It is a will that cannot be refused.
But she was very angry in her heart, how long has the emperor died? It's been months.
Now I want to help Ling go south and be buried in Dongling?
If Emperor Daxing had knowledge under the spring, he was afraid that he would jump out of the country.
So, the Empress Dowager Ci'an suddenly remembered an allusion, Qi Huan Gong's mortuary disregarded, and attacked each other with armor.
Seeing that the Empress Dowager Ci'an did not react, Kuang Yuan said: "Empress Dowager, but are you worried that Su Yu will show her true colors, imprison the Empress Dowager and the emperor in the palace, and not let you leave Beijing to go to Chengde? You can rest assured, tomorrow the court will be in front of the civil and military officials, officially say that the queen mother and the emperor are going to leave Beijing to go south to Chengde Fuling, if Su Yu dares to stop it, if he dares to imprison the queen mother and the emperor, the minister will protect the queen mother even if he is broken. If Su Yu dares to stop it, then his true face of Dong Zhuo will be exposed in front of the world."
"That's it!" Empress Dowager Ci'an said, "You should step back first."
Kuang Yuan said: "Queen Mother, because Su Yu occupied the capital, the coffin of Emperor Daxing has been parked for several months. As the lord of the Qing Dynasty and the eldest son of the first emperor, the emperor must personally go to help Ling go south."
Empress Dowager Ci'an said, "Okay, I know, I'll give you a reply tomorrow."
Kuang Yuan kowtowed, "Wechen retreats."
After Kuang Yuan withdrew, the Empress Dowager Ci'an said, "Come on, immediately go and summon Lord Su Yu into the palace."
In order to avoid suspicion before, the Empress Dowager Ci'an almost did not summon Su Lu into the palace, but now at this critical moment, she can't wait.
Half an hour later, Su Lu entered the palace.
"See the Queen Mother."
Tzu An said, "Now, do you know what is happening outside?"
Su Yu said: "I know that some people have hyped that I am Dong Zhuo and imprisoned the Queen Mother and the Emperor. Even in the name of paying homage to the remains of Emperor Daxing, he summoned the governors of the world to Chengde, which is quite the meaning of the princes of the Eighteen Roads to crusade against Dong Zhuo."
Ci'an said, "I heard that the Russian and American ministers have gone to Chengde to submit their credentials?"
Su Yu said, "Yes."
Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "Chengde Xinggong said that let the mourning family and the emperor leave Beijing and go to Chengde, help the emperor to go south, and go to Tanglin to settle down, is this a serious problem?"
Su Yu said, "It's okay."
Empress Dowager Ci'an said, "If the mourning family doesn't go, what will be the consequences?"
Su Yu said: "Of course, it is impossible for the Queen Mother and the Emperor not to go, this is driven by righteousness. So once you really didn't go, then prove to the world that the minister did imprison the queen mother and the emperor, so he couldn't go to Chengde to help the spirit. At that time, the governors of the world were all in the Chengde Palace, and the Mongolian kings were also there, and the Chengde Palace would say, you and the emperor have been imprisoned by me, and your will is controlled by me. Therefore, your holy decree will be null and void, and the Chengde Palace is the legitimate center of the imperial court, and I, Su Yu, will officially become Dong Zhuo."
Empress Dowager Ci'an said, "In that case, the Qing Dynasty will be divided and become two centers, right?"
Su Yu said, "Yes."
Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "The mourning family does not want to see the Qing Dynasty split, and the mourning family cannot be this sinner."
Su Yu said, "Don't worry, the Queen Mother, the Qing Dynasty will not be divided, and you will not become a sinner."
Empress Dowager Ci'an said, "What do you mean?"
Su Yu said, "If you want to go, the emperor will also go to Chengde."
Empress Dowager Ci'an trembled and said, "Once the palace leaves the capital and enters Chengde, then ...... Then you'll lose your political standing."
…………………………
In the Chengde Palace, Rong Lu was having a secret conversation with the Empress Dowager Cixi.
Both fell silent.
After a long while, the Empress Dowager Cixi said, "Ronglu, you can't go on like this."
Rong Lu said: "Yes, it can't go on like this, the struggle is over, it seems to be imposing, but in fact, you can't win anything."
"The Queen Mother's appearance at this time is also the most decent, give
It feels like a decision and a declaration of righteousness."
Cixi was silent for a while and said, "Actually, the secret decree of the first emperor is not wanted to be obeyed by this palace."
Rong Lu said, "The slave knows."
Cixi said, "What about you?"
Rong Lu said: "The slave does not have his own will, and the will of the queen mother is the will of the slave."
"And the Queen Mother can have the greatest initiative when she appears at this time."
Cixi said, "You send someone to inform Su Yu as quickly as possible, and this palace wants to negotiate with him."
"No, it's not a negotiation, it's a conversation, a meeting!"
Rong Lu said, "Yes, Queen Mother. Minions, that's what to do."
Cixi said, "Don't let anyone know."
Rong Lu said, "Yes."
Then, Rong Lu said, "Next, there will probably be deaths."
Cixi said, "Then die!"
Rong Lu said: "The Queen Mother and the Queen Mother have a weak temperament and can't control the field, the Queen Mother, you and Lord Su Yu are evenly matched partners."
Cixi said, "What about the future?"
Rong Lu said: "Let's talk about the current level, the future things, the future."
Cixi said, "Yes, the future will be talked about in the future."
In this world, there are still people who are very smart and can see the essence clearly from the momentum and see what will happen next.
Rong Lu said, "The slave went to do something."
Cixi said, "Go ahead."
…………………………
Next.
Before the Great Dynasty Meeting, the civil and military officials had already discussed a lot, and they all knew what was going to be discussed today.
But after all, there is a huge suspense.
The Queen Mother and the Emperor can finally leave Beijing and go to the Chengde Palace.
If you don't go, for whatever reason, the consequences will be unimaginable.
You must know that there are already many governors and generals, and the Mongolian princes are already in the palace in Chengde.
Now it seems that the Chengde Palace has a huge advantage.
The momentum is astounding.
Only a very small number of people can see through what the final outcome will be if the situation evolves.
However, how could Su Yu let the Queen Mother and the Emperor leave Beijing?
In that case, his political talisman will be gone.
He couldn't let the queen mother, the queen mother and the emperor fall back into the hands of the Chengde Palace.
A moment later, the Nine Gate Admiral Su Yu entered the hall.
The officials who stayed in Beijing looked at him one after another.
And Su Yu stood quietly in his place, as if he was drowned in the crowd, and he didn't know what rank he was.
Weng Xincun, Kuang Yuan and other ministers were much better than him in front.
"The Queen Mother and the Emperor have arrived!"
A moment later, the beautiful Empress Dowager Ci'an took the little emperor's hand and walked into the hall through the back door.
The emperor didn't know what was happening, and hopped up the steps to the dragon chair.
It was in front of the Empress Dowager Ci'an that he dared to be so lively, and in front of his biological mother Cixi, he was like a quail.
The Empress Dowager gently supported the emperor and sat on the dragon chair.
"See the emperor, long live, long live, long live!"
The Queen Mother said, "Zhongqing is flat."
The great eunuch Zeng Lu said, "There is a play."
Kuang Yuan, Minister of Military Aircraft, said: "Return to the Queen Mother, the emperor, the minister has a book."
It's coming, it's coming!
Everyone instinctively looked at Su Yu.
It's hard to imagine, you, Dong Zhuo, are so unqualified, you are afraid of ruining your reputation, so you can't do anything to the hundred officials, but you can at least imprison Kuang Yuan and make him shut up.
This minister of the Chengde Palace lobbied everywhere in the capital, and he entered the palace more often than you.
Su Zhuo, you are like this, where do you look like Dong Zhuo.
The Queen Mother said, "Play it."
Kuang Yuan cried and said, "Back to the Empress Dowager, it has been four months since Emperor Daxing died, for various reasons......
Speaking of this, Kuang Yuan glanced at Su Yu.
The meaning of this is obviously very clear, that is, because Su Yu sent troops to occupy the capital, so that the coffin of Emperor Daxing could not return to Beijing, this chaotic minister and thief.
"Because of various reasons, Emperor Daxing has always rested his body in the Chengde Palace, and he can't return to Beijing or bury Dongling.
"This matter is very important, it must not be delayed any longer, in another month, the year of Xinyou will pass. Emperor Daxing's coffin can no longer be buried in the palace of virtue for the New Year, and if he is not buried, it will really be a great rebellion."
In the entire hall, there was the cry of Kuang Yuan, the Minister of Military Aircraft.
Everyone was silent.
Waiting in horror for the upheaval.
And at the same time, in the Chengde Palace.
The cold Empress Dowager Cixi looked at the lake outside in a daze.
The breeze is blowing, and it is already a little biting, and the sound of frogs has long since disappeared, only a flock of geese are frolicking in the lake, and they are not afraid of the cold.
Rubbing her hands gently, Cixi picked up the brush, thought for a long time, and wrote her name on a blank piece of paper.
She had told Rong Lu before that she wanted to die.
Then think about who will die.
Exhaling lightly, the Empress Dowager Cixi was the first to write Kuang Yuan.
In the palace hall, Kuang Yuan is still performing.
knelt and cried: "The Empress Dowager, the ministers implore the Empress Dowager and the Emperor to go to Chengde, help the spirit to go south, and send Emperor Daxing to Dongling for burial."
"...... The Emperor ......"
The Queen Mother was speechless.
Su Yu and the other officials were all speechless.
Kuang Yuan said in a trembling voice: "Queen Mother, isn't there any inconvenience that you can't go to Chengde to help the spirit? Isn't there something you're threatened against? You boldly say it, the civil and military officials are here, and the ministers are also here, even if you are broken, you must protect the safety of the Queen Mother and the Emperor."
The Queen Mother still did not speak.
The ministers trembled.
Sure enough, don't you go?
Kuang Yuan continued: "Empress Dowager, if you have anything to change, then send a prince and minister to take the emperor north to Chengde. The emperor must be going to help the spirit, otherwise what would the subjects of the world think? Otherwise, what would the fathers and fathers think?"
The Qing Dynasty ruled the country with filial piety, and the emperor, as the eldest son and the heir of the empire, how could he not go to the Emperor Daxing?
The Empress Dowager Ci'an was quiet for a while, and said lightly: "Of course the palace is going to go, and the emperor is also going."
"But there's one thing that Hongu wants to say. On that day, in order to let the emperor return to Beijing in time to worship the heavens, Su Yu was ordered to send someone to take the palace and the emperor out of Chengde."
"In the Chengde Palace, in order to prevent the palace and the emperor from returning to Beijing, someone actually shot at the palace and the emperor."
As soon as these words came out, the entire hall was in an uproar.
Is there such a thing?
No wonder there are rumors that Princess Shou'an was shot, and it is also said that she was hard-hitting, and a mere woman was shot twice.
There are also rumors that the Queen Mother was also injured a little.
It's just that the palace has not confirmed this matter, and I didn't expect this to happen.
However, the Queen Mother, did you give this reason just to not go to Chengde?
That's not very useful.
Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "Of course, this is not a reason for the palace and the emperor not to go to Chengde, supporting the soul of the first emperor is the top priority, and nothing can be delayed."
"But the emperor is young, and his safety cannot be ignored."
"Su Yu!"
Su dragged out of the ranks, bowed down and said, "The minister is here!"
Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "This palace ordered you to lead the army north together to Chengde to protect the emperor's safety."
Su Yu said, "The minister obeys the order!"
The Queen Mother's voice was very flat, and Su Yu's voice was also very flat.
But in the ears of the hundred officials, it was like thunder, and everyone's hearts trembled.
This...... What does that mean?
Queen Mother, don't you make this will, aren't you afraid of the civil war in the Qing Dynasty?
This is even more terrifying than a central split.
Kuang Yuan's face suddenly changed drastically and said, "The Queen Mother thinks twice!"
Empress Dowager Ci'an said, "What? Isn't the emperor's safety important?"
Kuang Yuan said: "Of course, the emperor's safety is important, but the monk's army is fifty miles away from the capital, so it is completely possible for the monk to lead the army to escort the queen mother and the emperor to Chengde."
Empress Dowager Ci'an said lightly: "It was very dark that night, and the people who shot in the Chengde Palace did not see it clearly, and they did not speak out loud."
The meaning of these words is very clear, someone in Chengde shot at the palace.
Do you still want the army of Chengde Palace to escort the mourning family and the emperor?
Kuang Yuan instinctively wanted to refute, saying that the monk king was loyal, how could the queen mother be suspicious.
But the Queen Mother obviously didn't say anything.
Empress Dowager Ci'an said, "What? Doesn't Hongu even have the power to choose who to be the guard?"
Kuang Yuan trembled and said, "Minister, don't dare!"
Empress Dowager Ci'an said, "Then it's decided, Su Yu, you go and gather the army immediately, and we will leave the capital tomorrow and go north to Chengde!"
Su Yu said, "The minister obeys the order!"
"Resignation!"
Then, Su Yu turned around and left the palace directly, and really went to gather the army.
In the palace, the Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "Kuang Yuan, since you are here, don't bother others, you immediately set off to Chengde Palace, saying that the palace will take the emperor to the north tomorrow, so that they can prepare to take the driver."
Kuang Yuan trembled all over, sweating like rain.
He wanted to shout loudly, Queen Mother, what did Su Yu eat for you***?
Don't you know that this could lead to a civil war in the Qing Dynasty?
Do you want to see your ancestors fall apart?
The Hunan army in the south, the rebel army in the south, the bandits are afraid that they will die of laughter.
The Empress Dowager Ci'an added: "Since you want to go north to Chengde, then simply investigate the matter thoroughly, and this palace wants to see who is so bold that he dares to shoot at the emperor."
The civil and military officials in the audience were silent.
The Queen Mother said, "Kuang Yuan, why don't you go quickly?"
Kuang Yuan trembled and said, "Minister, obey the order!"
"Retreat!"
With a shout, the Empress Dowager Ci'an took the little emperor's hand and left the hall.
After leaving the crowd, the little emperor whispered, "Queen Mother, your hands are so cold!"
Not only is it cold, after leaving the front of the person, the hands of the Empress Dowager Ci'an are trembling, and the whole delicate body is trembling.
The little emperor said, "Queen Mother, are you afraid?"
The Empress Dowager Ci'an didn't speak, she was not afraid at this time.
But Su Yu promised her, otherwise the emperor and the queen mother would not lose their authority, and they would not let the Qing Dynasty split.
Su Yu has never broken his promise so far.
………………
And at the same time!
In the far north, it is already snowing heavily.
The cavalry of the Tsarist Empire poured down like a tide at this time.
Dense, countless.
This large army directly crossed the Sino-Russian border and poured directly into the territory of China.
The guard of Heilongjiang trembled and said, "This is the land of the Qing Dynasty, you are not allowed to trespass!"
The generals of Tsarist Russia shouted loudly in non-fluent language: "I heard that there is a dispute within your Qing Kingdom, I heard that your emperor has been imprisoned by traitors, the so-called northern friends, we are willing to send troops to help you save the emperor."
Then, the Russian general ignored the Qing court guards and shouted, "Forward!"
The Russian army continued to pour in.
…………………………
Note: It's finally finished, and Su Yu's victory is finally coming. I can't think of a word to ask for a monthly pass, and I don't know how to express my inner urgency.
Please, help me!
