"My dear, this story is so exciting that it could fill a novel. If it were adapted into a European drama, the theaters would definitely be full." Xiao Letian closed the file in his hand and said with a long sigh.
In the inner study room behind the Prime Minister's Mansion, Xiao Letian had just finished reading the top-secret intelligence dossier. Sitting on his left was Wang Huaiyuan, the person in charge of the execution hall, and on his right was Xiao Hexin, who had followed him on his expedition to Europe. The rest of his right-hand men were also sitting there. They were all seated on both sides of the long table.
While Xiao Letian was carefully watching the secret file, Wang Huaiyuan briefly recounted the thrilling palace coup in Sijiucheng to everyone. No matter how simple it was, Sima Yun, Luo Huo and others who listened in the end were also dumbfounded. Dazzled.
Of course, Wang Huaiyuan did not tell some information that was too confidential. For example, the little ambiguity between Ci'an and Qing Sanye was seen by Ermao and Fuhui. This kind of information belongs to The top secret among top secrets, it can only be shown to Xiao Letian in the file, not Xiao Hexin and the others.
Xiao Letian threw away the file, turned around and asked, "So, my wife and my uncle are still trapped in Jingshan Mountain. It's been half a month and they haven't broken out yet."
Wang Huaiyuan smiled bitterly, "Don't think about breaking through. The pro-military camp has been controlled by Cixi. Even the admiral of the Nine Gates is Cixi's brother-in-law. Do you think Sijiu City can still break through now?"
That's right, after the gunshot in Jingshan, the entire capital immediately lit up the powder keg. There were no secrets in Sijiu City. Rumors about the impending rain were flying everywhere. Now when the gunshot was fired, all speculations became Reality.
The Admiral of the Nine Gates is now Prince Chun Yizhen Liang, and this Prince Chun is the famous father of Guangxu in later generations, and Cixi is Prince Chun's sister-in-law. How can this relationship not be strong?
For a time, the martial law order in the capital was flying all over the sky. Soldiers from the Nine Admirals' Yamen were stationed all over the streets. They were all armed and murderous. Even the foreign guns newly purchased in recent years were distributed. Pairs of patrolling cavalry The arms held in his arms were all shiny foreign guns.
Anmin notices are posted all over the streets, and all the explanations are just one sentence: The Forbidden City was robbed, and thieves entered the Forbidden City at night. With the help of the inner ghosts, they stole the treasures of young and old. Now the thieves have surrounded Jingshan Mountain. , now we are encircling and suppressing.
"Oh, this is a lie. My second eldest uncle's brother is working as an errand in Prince Guo's mansion... Guess what." In the teahouse, an idle man seemed to be saying something in a sneaky way. He Surrounded by a large group of Eight Banners disciples, their eyes bulged out.
Just when the idle man was about to open his mouth to say something, an iron chain suddenly fell from the center of the circle of heads. "Hey, you guys are chatting here. Do you know what this is?"
People turned around and saw that these were the two yamen patrolling the streets of Shuntian Prefecture, Xiao Huang. They had the upper hand today and dared to shake the iron chain in front of the banner man.
"Oh shit, Big and Little Huang, you two little girls dare to shake this thing off in front of your banner man..." Before he could finish his words, the two street patrol officers, Big and Yellow, laughed.
"Haha, you are a banner man. Logically speaking, we dare not take care of you... But there is a piece of paper on the wall of this teahouse that says "Mo Tan State Affairs"... You are knowledgeable, it is impossible for you to be illiterate..."
"Go on, we both want to hear what happens next..."
"Oh, fuck, what's the challenge? You, Fourth Master, and I are also the equals of the Forty-Nine Cities. I'm still afraid of you... There was a gunshot in the Forbidden City, or there was a fight inside..."
"You are looking for a fight..." Xiao Huang didn't care whether he was a bannerman or not. The iron chain swayed and was put on his head. Then he cut his hands behind his back and pinned down the man who claimed to be Fourth Master. On the table, several pots of high broken pots were hit.
"You are rebelling. The Han people dare to take the banner... You are rebelling..."
"Bah...save your energy. We are no longer the yamen of Shuntian Mansion. The nine admirals and our prince don't have enough manpower. We are sent to help...Grandma, we are arresting people for Prince Chun. , you are the one being arrested..."
"Tell me, are you a reformist among the bannermen?"
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the ancestors of the bannermen in the teahouse turned pale with fright. When they saw that the dish was bad, if they were accused of this, even their status as bannermen would not save their lives. They all dispersed as they spoke. .
Some of the people who were friends with Fourth Master quickly winked and twirled their thumbs and lions in their hands, which meant that they wanted to put some money in quickly.
The fourth master is also a very clever person, and he is like "Hey, the two Huang masters are so strong in their hands. I'm convinced, I'm really convinced. After drinking too much yellow soup, my mouth is full of confusion..." The two masters' hands are loose. A little bit, I have some thoughts.”
This was not bad. They handed over the twenty-tael silver note and then took away a snuff bottle from the Kangxi period. Only then did the two gentlemen, Mr. and Mrs. Huang, let the Fourth Master go.
Watching the two gentlemen, Mr. and Mrs. Huang, disappearing in the distance, the bannermen in the teahouse understood that this time the matter was serious. I am afraid that more blood would be shed in Beijing this time than six or seven years ago.
"During the Xinyou years, how many Manchus died in order to kill the eight ministers Gu Ming... If another queen mother died today, the capital would not be dyed red with blood... Let's go, let's go to the village. Run for your life..."
A wave of refugees suddenly broke out in Sijiu City. Those neutral bannermen, timid Han people, and businessmen from all over the world packed their bags and fled for their lives. Even if they went to hide in a village in the countryside for a few months, no one wanted to stay in the capital. Stay.
However, with major changes, a large number of lucky people will naturally appear. The conservatives and reformists among the bannermen can no longer hold back. Various small conflicts continue in the streets and alleys, and the scolding is regarded as light. Yes, if it's serious, I'll hit you if you raise your hand.
In the end, the rotten scholars of the Qing Dynasty actually united with the conservatives in the Manchus. They actually imitated Xiao Letian and started posting big-character posters in the capital, and memorials flew like snowflakes into the Forbidden City. In the end, this group of people actually united to attack the Great Rebellion. To clear the gates, they also have to kneel down in front of Tiananmen Square.
In just three days, the city of Beijing was completely in chaos. The civilian houses near Jingshan had been emptied by the soldiers. The tall Jingshan was surrounded by the soldiers of the nine admirals, with three floors inside and three floors outside. Not even a mouse could get in.
At the foot of Jingshan Mountain, there is a 'war' every day in the name of catching thieves. Hundreds of soldiers pretend to attack from the bottom of the mountain, charging again and again, and failing again and again. No one expects this group of people guarding Jingshan Mountain. He is so tenacious and his musket is so sharp. He doesn't even need to change the lead. He just raises his hand and shoots the gun.
The condescending position, fierce firepower, and the fact that both sides have some friendly feelings and are unwilling to defend to the death, the result is that the small Jingshan Mountain has become a pass that cannot be opened by ten thousand people.
The great changes in the city of Beijing were slowly spoken in Wang Huaiyuan's mouth. The generals in the study were dumbfounded. Then Xiao Hexin pointed at the table and asked, "Then Cixi has only so many abilities. Is this different from the character shown by the intelligence?" It’s very different…”
"Haha..." Xiao Letian sneered twice, "Continue listening, that old witch has a vicious mind..."
Wang Huaiyuan nodded, "Yes, Cixi was forced to have no choice. In the end, she went all out to risk her life with Ci'an. On the fourth day, the young emperor Tongzhi and Cixi actually jointly issued a decree, angrily denounced Ci'an for several major crimes. …”
"It goes without saying that he is self-willed and takes over the government. In the end, the decree also poured a lot of dirty water on him, saying that Ci'an Palace had an improper relationship with Fuqing of the Fucha family..."
"This edict is a clear edict. It will be published in the imperial newspaper and sent to the whole world...According to the detailed explanation, even Marshal Zeng, who was preparing to go to Beijing to mediate the dispute, was stunned after reading it. The soldiers who had been prepared did not dare to move. , I can only stay in the camp honestly..."
Wang Huaiyuan started to get excited at this time, "Cixi, the old witch, really wanted to make things bigger. After she poured dirty water on Ci'an, she immediately opened fire on us. She yelled that we were the masterminds behind supporting Third Master Qing. And Ermao is a trick to break into the Forbidden City, even the third master and Ci'an breaking the shoes...it was all brokered by the Prime Minister."
With a puff, the whole study was filled with violent coughs. Luo Huo almost drowned himself in saliva. He hugged his stomach and laughed so hard that he almost got under the table.
"Hahaha... Our prime minister has turned into a pimp, hahaha... A young man as handsome as Mr. Third would fall in love with that old woman Ci'an, hahaha, it makes me laugh..."
Xiao Letian was also angry, "Damn, it's another moral attack. This kind of smelly and dirty water is so disgusting, especially in East Asia, which has been influenced by Confucian culture for thousands of years. This kind of rumor attack is simply unsolvable. …”
Yes, Confucian culture has always suppressed people's natural desires, but how can people's desires be suppressed? The more suppressed people are, the more interested they are.
Regarding this kind of gossipy news, even if everyone knows that it is false, because the public loves to hear and spread rumors, gentlemen have always avoided this kind of political pornographic news.
Why didn't Zeng Guofan dare to send troops? In fact, he had already understood Cixi's threat: "I have no shame for a woman. I dare to attack Ci'an with such despicable means. I can also attack you Zeng Guofan. If you dare to send troops Come and save Ci'an, and I dare to turn around and pour dirty water on you. Believe it or not, I said Ci'an is having an affair with you...' Look, this kind of threat is very pornographic and violent, and Zeng Guofan is also afraid.
Don't talk about rumors only being limited to wise men. There are not that many wise men in the world. Even Emperor Qianlong is rumored to be of Han descent. The rumor of a third prince Zhu has been mentioned from the Shunzhi period to the Tongzhi period, and there are still people talking about it with gusto. .
Sigh... There are too many idle people in China, and idle people lead to troubles.
Wang Huaiyuan shook his head, "Cixi is really crazy. Not only did she attack Ci'an and threaten Marshal Zeng, she also used her own direct troops and mobilized more than 10,000 elites from the Gyeonggi area. Mailer was the defeated general. Led the starry night to attack the Tanggu Special Administrative Region, and have been surrounded for ten days now...
"The enemy and we have exchanged fire six times. Our position has not been lost, but Mailer's side has killed more than a thousand people. Now the enemy and we are in a stalemate... This is all the information after the Prime Minister left the Qing Dynasty. I will ask the Prime Minister to make a decision later. Bar."
Note: Yesterday, a reader on the wap website moved me very much. A friend named xdf specially came from Shuqi.com across thousands of mountains and rivers to reward ten yuan for the genuine article. I was so excited when I saw it. After spinning around for three times, I finally understood. It’s not that readers love to watch pirated copies, and it’s not that readers don’t have the money to consume genuine copies. In the final analysis, the love is still not deep enough. In the final analysis, the story still doesn’t really move everyone.
Xinjing has been working hard, and I also hope that book friends who love this book can come and support Xinjing. If you read pirated Xinjing, you will not condemn everyone. I only hope that when this book touches you, when you are willing to come During such a journey through the soul of the late Qing Dynasty, it is not easy to think about the guy who wrote code. If you can support it, please support it.
Even a warm word or a little red flower is a great comfort.
