Meritocracy and competition for jobs may sound reasonable, but the prerequisite is that you must have a large talent pool. Δ 8Δ1中文 Δ网
If you want to compete for the position of emperor, you must first have many prince candidates. Once there is no room for choice, meritocracy becomes an empty talk.
What's more terrible is that any tradition will eventually become a habit and be implanted into the genes of insiders. Precisely because in the early years of the Qing Dynasty, the throne was obtained through competition, then only one descendant has established an unparalleled tradition. A good role model, all Eight Banners nobles have a little devil inside.
You can fight, why can’t I fight? Everyone thinks this way, and the result is that no one trusts anyone else. Those in power look at everyone with a conspiracy look on their face, and they look like they are about to rebel.
Maybe Prince Gong and Guiziliu didn't want to rebel in his heart, but he couldn't resist the power of tradition. Once the trend pushed him to that position, Huangpao didn't even need him to hint, and there were many people under him to help him accomplish it.
"So, Prince Gong can't lead troops to fight. As long as he is given military power, he will definitely rebel. This is a sure thing...and Fifth Master, don't have any illusions. Do you really think that all the important officials in the imperial court are loyal ministers of the late emperor?"
"Pull them down...those are just wallflowers. If Prince Gong ascends the throne, just watch. Those who oppose him will never be more than a slap in the face..."
Yi Pei let his two right-hand men squeeze him and blushed. He said to himself that even if you are my confidant, don't bury me like this. Why did you expose all this?
"Okay, okay, I understand. This road seems to be unworkable, but what about the other two roads?" Yi Pei quickly changed the subject.
Li Tuo nodded, "War is only the first option of the imperial court. It seems that it will definitely not work now, and the second option is to cheat..."
"Liar?" Yi Pei was stunned. "What kind of deception?"
While he was talking, the door curtain was opened, and Yan Zhihu personally brought the little maid to add food to the three of them. "Master Li, the hibiscus chicken slices you ordered were cooked by my own family. They are very tender..."
"The spring tea sent by Jiangnan this year is really good. I fried a portion of Longjing shrimp for Sir Yang to try. It's not river shrimp but sea shrimp. The taste is different from what Jiangnan makes..."
To change the wine and dishes, only a third of the dishes on the table were moved, and they were still warm, so they were all removed. There was a neat table of new dishes, and all the wines were replaced with new ones.
Wealthy people are so particular. No matter how delicious the dish is, one person can only use three chopsticks at most, and then replace it with new ones immediately. No matter how late the three of them are discussing in the evening, this rotation of dishes cannot stop.
If we eat this late-night snack until midnight, we won't be able to afford it without two thousand taels of silver.
Rouge Tiger Bu Cai's Kung Fu said to Prince Chun Yi Pei, "This is not simple. I am a woman who can guess exactly what it is. It rises brightly and falls secretly!"
"Anyway, Hunchun's banner was to fight against Rakshasa ghosts. The imperial court used this gimmick to reward him. He was transferred to the Ministry of War, promoted, and given financial rewards to beauties. Isn't it just like this? After he left the customs, he entered his own territory. Beijing City, why don’t you let the imperial court manipulate you?”
Hiss... Yi Pei is not stupid, he just reacts slowly and lacks quickness. As long as he is allowed to go around that corner, there is no need to say more about the rest of the matter, and everything will be clear.
"Oh...that makes sense! Isn't this a plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain? The country is currently in a state of turmoil. As long as Hunchun is dead, no matter how noisy those people under him are, they are no match! The court has many ways to deal with it..."
With a snap, Li Tuo slapped his hand, "Hey...that's what's going on. This should be the method that the imperial court wants to use most. A soft knife is actually better for cutting meat...I'll kill you if you don't show off your appearance." !”
"But I think the success rate of this second plan is only between 50 and 50!"
Listening to Li Tuo's words, Yang Zhi felt a little bit, "Yes, that's right, Your Majesty, didn't your servant outside the customs provide you with a piece of information? Then Hunchun rebelled with the help of His Majesty's secret order and the Kirigakure kid." successful!"
"What does this mean? This means that the CIA has intervened. My lord, the experts in the CIA will not be able to see through the court's scam!"
"Let me tell you, Hunchun probably already knows the court's plan at this moment. It seems difficult to deceive him!"
Yi Pei's face changed: "Does Hunchun still dare to resist the decree and disrespect it?"
"Is it disrespectful to resist the decree?" Yang Zhi said lonelyly, "Whose decree? Who will issue the decree? Don't forget that the emperor is no longer in the Forbidden City, but by Xiao Letian's side!"
The room was completely silent for a moment. Rouge Hu retreated to the side room with frowning eyebrows. The three of them didn't say anything for a quarter of an hour, especially Yi Pei's face was ashen.
After a long while, Li Tuo picked up the cup and said with a smile, "Drink first, drink first, we are all discussing this. According to Xiao Letian, this is called a war game, it is just an illusion on the map..."
"But I have to remind you, Fifth Master, whether Hunchun will be fooled, you just need to keep an eye on the checkpoints from Liaoning to Heilongjiang and Jilin..."
"You have to look at the defenders sent by Hunchun. If they are aggressive and even conflict with the defenders of Shengjing, then don't have any illusions. Hunchun will definitely not be fooled, and he will not enter the capital...because he has already chosen confrontation!"
"If at the checkpoint between the two provinces, Hunchun's side is more restrained and rational, and knows how to give in... This can prove that Hunchun has no idea of independence, he just wants to fight the Rakshasa ghost... In this way, maybe the court can trick him out!"
Upon hearing this, Yi Pei slapped the table, "Sheng Jing, I also have a slave, and I asked him to keep an eye on the level! I want to see how big this Hunchun can be..."
At this point, the chaos outside the customs and the court's response have generally surfaced. The possibility of war is very small, but the possibility of luring Hunchun into Beijing is very high. Now it depends on how Hunchun responds.
Thanks to Yi Pei having such two talented people, he was able to judge Hunchun's choice in advance. Before the court launched the plan to lure Hunchun, Yi Pei's domestic slaves in Shengjing City had already received the telegram from their master. Many soldiers in the army The officers immediately took action to collect intelligence for their master.
In the late Qing Dynasty, there were not many post roads from Liaoning to Jilin. Huaide, Yitong and Tonghua were the three most important post roads. Among them, Yitong in Changtu Prefecture was the most important pass, because it led to the northeast after passing Yitong. Just a few hundred miles away is Jilin City.
During the two hundred years of the Chinese dynasty, the two provincial checkpoints outside Yitong City were almost useless. In name, there should be a battalion of soldiers stationed here, but in fact it would be good to have two sentries stationed permanently, because this is the land of Longxing outside the pass. In the heart of the country, no one would have thought there would be any enemies here.
However, this year's mutiny in Hunchun shocked the entire three provinces outside the customs. The Yitong checkpoint, which was originally the heart of the war, suddenly became the front line of the stalemate between the two armies.
This is going to be a big mess!
