The differences within the royal family have reached an irreconcilable level. Unless someone officially announces their withdrawal from the competition for power from now on, like the fifth master, and banishes himself from the decision-making circle, eating and waiting to die every day, playing with women and wandering around the market, then maybe It can keep you alive until the day you die of old age.
But how could a person who has tasted the sweet taste of power choose to live a life of waiting for death, control the life and death of millions of people with one hand, and trample the entire empire under his feet? The feeling of being able to see the mountains and small things at a glance is something that has never been experienced before in this life. Can not forget.
What's more, the battle in the field of power is not the Olympics where friendship comes first and competition comes second. There is no boundary between winning and losing here. People's hearts are unpredictable. Just because you say you have given up, I really think you have given up.
Even if Yi withdraws from the stage of power now, will Zai Chun be less wary of him? After all, you have been the regent for so many years. You have signed many treaties with Westerners. You have so many disciples and former officials in both the government and the public. You can just retreat if you just want to? Who believes it?
Even the fifth master of the capital, who has always been outside of power, is secretly supporting his own power with Yang Zhi, Li Tuo and others. So, can these people who have reached the top of power just retreat?
Think about it, dead people are the most reassuring.
The truth is the same when looking at it. Even if Zai Chun kneels in front of the two emperor uncles and swears that he will never challenge the emperor's authority in his life, and even gives the two emperor uncles iron coupons for elixirs or gold medals to avoid death, then the two emperor uncles will Will you believe it boldly?
Suspicion is the nature of politicians. Rather than saying that they don't believe in their political opponents, it's more that they don't believe in themselves at all. Those damn promises and oaths have always been regarded as nothing in their hearts.
His heart was suffering in hell. Of course he would not believe that others would be in heaven, just like an owl holding a dead mouse in its mouth would naturally believe that a phoenix would snatch food from his mouth.
Because I have thoughts of killing you, of course I will think that you also have thoughts of killing me!
Zai Chun and the two uncles Wang have now been forced to the point of being incompatible with each other. In fact, it is funny to say that from the beginning to the end, there was no candid negotiation between the uncle and nephew, not even bargaining like a businessman.
Everything happened so quickly, so naturally, and so naturally. In the eyes of outsiders, it seemed that no conflicts had occurred, and there was actually an undying knot between uncle and nephew.
Zai Chun is indeed still a child, but with the support of Xiao Letian, Zai Chun's power is growing tenaciously step by step, and these two uncles are watching.
Emperor Tongzhi's new imperial army was steadily developing and growing in Fujian, which was Zuo Jigao's sphere of influence. The naval battle with the Rakshasa ghost at the mouth of the Minjiang River added a lot to Zai Chun's influence.
There are already many officials in the officialdom who secretly criticize the young emperor, especially some Han officials. They have been influenced by the central government's idea of a unified empire since ancient times and have a deep-seated admiration for the powerful monarch.
The little emperor's new army dared to pull out mountain cannons to fight against the Rakshasa ghost navy. No matter how many results they achieved, at least this incident was very encouraging. The country has been bullied by foreign devils for so many years, and finally there is someone who can vent everyone's anger. The little emperor, this fact has indeed won the hearts of many people.
Secondly, with Xiao Letian's matchmaking, the relationship between the Hunan Army and Zai Chun suddenly became much closer. Training the new Yulin Army requires money and a lot of resources. Who can provide these things?
The Yulin New Army is developing and growing day by day. Without the help of Zeng Guofan's money and food, there would be nothing wrong with it!
The third time is the newly established Suzhou Stock Market. Zai Chun actually issued an order to allow this market to use bright yellow signs. This is using his imperial power for publicity!
Zai Chun even came to the scene in person to support the stock market. What can he do without any benefit? The dividends from the Jiangnan stock market must go to Zai Chun. This little bastard not only gained military power but also slowly developed his own financial power. Isn't it Sima Zhao's intention to do what he wants to do next?
Now, Zai Chun has reached out to the outside world again, and Hunchun, a stubborn donkey, has actually obtained Emperor Tongzhi's secret order! Ancestor, it’s not enough for you, you brat, to expand your power in the south of the Yangtze River. Do you still want to control the outside world?
Yi squeezed the wine glass loudly, and the few side dishes carefully prepared by the royal chef on the Kang table did not attract him at all. At this moment, he had already eaten half a kilogram of bamboo leaf greens, and the sound of his heavy breathing could be heard in the duty room of the Military Aircraft Department. .
"Brother! Do you understand Cixi's tricks now? Haha, these mother and son are really a pair of living treasures. Zai Chun wants to sell the Far East to Xiao Letian in exchange for Xiao Letian's full support. And finally step on our corpses to take over!"
"And Cixi's plan is to sell the entire Far East to the Rakshasa ghosts. We are selling it to protect our own status! Hahaha, all the little country our ancestors have conquered has been sold. Sell it, let’s all sell it!”
"When can we stop relying on treason and rely on ourselves to do something serious? Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" Yi was so drunk that tears burst out of his eyes.
There was a bang, and he hit his head on the table and passed away. Yixuan looked at the drunken sixth brother and wiped his eyes in pain, "What's going on? What's wrong with us? We didn't do anything wrong. Why is this court so angry? Our ancestors! We haven't done anything wrong." I really don’t know how long I can hold on to this country, and when will it finally come to an end!”
Yixuan sent his drunken brother back to Prince Gong's Mansion, and then came to the Jiumen Admiral's Mansion. This was his territory. Years ago, he also withdrew a telegraph line for himself. Here he sent a private message to Ning Guta outside the pass. Sent a telegram.
After Hunchun received the telegram, he was in a dilemma. He secretly said that Yixuan had a personal favor for him. Back then, he was hated by villains. He conspired with many officials from outside the country to write a letter of impeachment against him. It was Yixuan who came forward to make peace. His position was saved, and Hunchun never forgot this kindness.
But the emperor's secret decree was also put aside. That was the serious emperor of the Qing Dynasty! Although there is no personal ruler, in Hunchun's heart, the emperor is the emperor, there are no two masters in the country, and the regent will never be the real emperor.
Who should be listened to, the emperor who is not in power or the prince who is regent? What's more, the two parties are talking about public reasons and mother-in-law's reasons. Prince Chun even revealed Emperor Tongzhi's plan to sell the Far East to Xiao Letian and pursue an iron-blooded dictatorship.
Now the stubborn donkey Hunchun was no longer calm. In his heart, the Far East would always belong to the Qing Dynasty, not to the Rakshasa ghosts or the Chinese. He would not be happy to give this land to anyone.
"The territory of the Qing Dynasty must always belong to the Qing Dynasty."
Just as he was talking, Lieutenant General Lin's heartbreaking roar suddenly came from outside the study: "The fight is starting, General! The fighting is starting from the front."
