Hunchun was silent. In his pocket were the latest newspapers sent by Shengjing and information obtained from various forces. He was very clear about the recent events in Sijiucheng. 81 Chinese website
The imperial court published a newspaper in the Ming Dynasty, asking the governors from all over the country to discuss Tepuxin's crime of treason. This is to put all the shit on his head. The imperial court will never admit the previous telegram in which he ordered to use the road. This is a complete rogue. .
Governors from all over the country and high-ranking officials in the DPRK reacted very strongly. After all, it was a public statement, and everyone had to pretend to be sanctimonious. One by one, they scolded Tepuxin with extremely fierce words, and some angry youths even directly attacked Tepuxin. Pu Xin’s predecessor Yi Shan.
They uncovered all the scandals in Yishan back then, including the mess in Guangzhou and the humiliating agreement at the Aihui City. The Qingliu people cleaned them up one by one.
At this time, Yishan was retiring in Sijiucheng and taking up a casual position in Zongzheng's mansion. He had long missed the real power in the court. This time, he was taken over by Tepuxin and all his past records were exposed. He was shocked. He couldn't sleep well for several days.
He had no choice but to beg his younger brother Guizi Liuyi, but it turned out that Yishan could see him when he had time. After waiting for five days, he finally spared more than ten minutes to meet this uncle and brother.
When Yishan saw his younger brother, he immediately bowed and burst into tears. It was said that all the servants who were serving him were moved. Yishan was originally unwilling to care about this uncle and brother's troubles, but the crying made him soften in the end. Still took action.
Guiziliu suppressed the accusations of those angry youths, so as not to intensify the situation. As for how many promises Yishan gave to his brothers, this is a secret between them.
Hunchun thought about the information about the shouting and killing, and secretly sighed in his heart that Tepuxin was not going to die soon. Although he was very cruel to this traitor, human nature was like this. When he saw those who were destined to die, he still felt pity.
"Serve the wine, serve the food, I'll have a drink with Mr. Tepuxin..."
"Thank you very much, thank you very much..." Tepuxin burst into tears and asked Hunchun, "Is this good wine?" This is because I am going to die, so pity me.
There is no place to go, no shop behind, so eating here is not so particular. Soldiers and officers only eat cold dry food. If the officers can get a can of Chinese canned food, it is the highest treatment.
The boulder on the side of the road was big enough for two people to sit cross-legged on it. The soldier broke off a pine branch and swept it casually, threw on two wolf skins and invited the two generals to sit on it.
Canned beef, chopped pork head, roasted chicken wrapped in oil paper, fried broad beans and peanuts, and several other side dishes were placed on the table. The black pottery wine jar contained a roasting knife from outside the Guan Dynasty, which was put into the belly and burned like a line of fire.
After three bowls of wine, Tepuxin's face turned red. He was tearing a chicken leg in his hand, with a large piece of beef inserted into the meat-cutting dagger, and the shiny aspic hanging on it.
Hunchun didn't eat much, just holding a few crispy broad beans and drinking wine slowly. He seemed to feel something strange about Tepuxin.
"There are no outsiders here, they are all your confidants, so I will get straight to the point... How about we make a deal?" Tepuxin said, putting down the wine bowl.
"Deal? What can you have that I'm interested in?" Hunchun asked.
"Don't refuse in a hurry. Listen to my conditions. It's actually very simple...I am a timid person who is afraid of death, and I am also more afraid of suffering. I can guess my fate. It is nothing more than taking the blame for the imperial court!"
"This war in the Far East has caused so much commotion that no one in the entire Qing Dynasty knows about it. Even in Europe, I'm afraid it will spread wildly. It is definitely impossible for the imperial court to hide it. In order to give an explanation to the world, I The only way to deal with it is to punish it with Ming Zheng Canon!"
Speaking of this, Tepuxin's eyes suddenly turned red and tears fell down. "This blame is too heavy. Brother, I can't carry it! If the whole world agrees, I must be Lingchi's fault. My family is not worthy of going to Xinjiang." …”
"Brother, please save me. Now that I'm in your hands, can you cause an accident? Give me a sip of poisonous wine, or just give me an accident and let me die happily... Wuwuwu... I can't stand it. It hurts!"
Tepu Xin suddenly collapsed emotionally. With tears and runny nose running down his face, he choked and said, "...wuwuwu...I beg my brother to give me a happy life...I beg my brother to give my family a way out!"
"Could you please give me an accident... give my family an accident too... If the bandits come, they'll kill all my family. I can just deceive the court... If that doesn't work, please rescue my father... Please." You, and my children..."
Listening to the heart-wrenching cries, Hunchun couldn't help but sigh, "If I had known this, why would I have done it in the first place!"
"Today? Back then? My brother, did I have a choice? Do you think I, Tepuxin, want to betray the country? Isn't that the same old road trodden by Yishan, and I am following behind!"
"The Aisin Gioro family no longer wants this country. What can I do? The Aihun Treaty was not signed by Tepuxin, but by Yishan!"
"Damn it, even the yellow belts dared to secretly do business with other countries for money. In the end, they were timid and fearful and let people steal so much land. As a result, he enjoyed happiness in Beijing, and I came here to take the blame. !”
"Brother, it's not that I want to hang out with them, I have no choice! Yishan promoted me, and I am his confidant. At the beginning, I was just a helper for him, doing corruption and shortfalls..."
"Later, he promoted me and gave me a promotion, and finally I came into contact with these core things... Can I stop doing it? Do I dare to disobey them? Do I want to kill my whole family?"
"You Hunchun are a stubborn donkey. You are lucky enough to hide in the remote area of Ningguta and avoid the troubles of these factions, but I can't escape!"
"Do you know how cruel those people are? When they tell you some secrets and ask you to do it... you have no choice, because you know their secrets. If you dare to say no, you will turn around. Just wait to destroy the whole family!"
What Tepuxin said is absolutely correct. Why were there so many corrupt officials in the late Qing Dynasty? Why did it eventually turn into a culture of corruption where all officials were corrupt? It was because corrupt officials were extremely ruthless in dealing with honest officials.
There is a deal in Shangfeng involving killing people and selling goods, and you, a subordinate’s confidant, are asked to do it. Do you want to be a good person? Do you want to be alone? Go ahead and dream. Now that you have heard about this plan, you have no choice. If you don't do it, you will die.
Tepuxin burst into tears, "You are a person of great luck. In those ten years, it was precisely because Ningguta was really bitter and cold that not many people were willing to talk to you, but in the end they protected you... Although you are a little poorer, At least you didn't get involved in the faction fight!"
"It is precisely because you are clean that His Majesty will value you and give you this opportunity... I finally understand now that sometimes suffering is really a blessing. How do you know that I will not give you a chance in the future? ?”
"I was wrong, I really was wrong...but there is no regret medicine in this world!"
