No relatives in heaven! This sentence has been passed down for thousands of years, and it refers to the fact that wherever there is any family affection near the imperial power, everyone is killed like a red-eyed rabbit in order to fight for power.
But in today's scene, Da Sixi and others outside the window thought it was a real reveal of their temperament!
First of all, the fifth master of the capital is not a person who strives for power and gain. Emperor Daoguang has been angry with this fifth master since he was a child, because he really doesn't like to study and just likes to mess around and play.
It's not that Emperor Daoguang didn't think of a way, but he was beaten and scolded. This old fifth was not a good student. Such a person was not an emperor at all, and he was not even a qualified minister.
Such a person is destined to be an idle prince. Even Emperor Daoguang has given up on him, so he can just wait to die and have fun every day!
Because of this, Yi Pei is the most popular among the brothers, because he is not a threat to anyone. Not only does he not compete for the throne of the emperor, but he also does not compete for the position of errands!
Without an errand position, there is no outside wealth. This fifth master is really not rich among the children of Emperor Daoguang.
But he was not in a hurry, and kept hanging out in the market every day, eventually earning the nickname the King of Heroes of the Capital!
Emperor Daoguang and Emperor Xianfeng actually loved this useless son and brother. They knew that it was useless to give him money and not to give him power, so they would reward him with a manor and let him become a big landowner.
This is how the vast farms of Shunyi came to be!
The gangsters in the market are all loyal, and there are not so many evil intentions in the officialdom. He really has the kind of care for Emperor Tongzhi like an uncle watching a nephew.
Among the entire Aixinjueluo family, until now, he was the only one who had told the truth to Emperor Tongzhi and expressed his sincerity!
This feeling is real, Zai Chun can understand it, and Emperor Tongzhi has really suffered a lot of grievances in these years. Although the emperor is precocious, he is still a child under the age of twenty, and he also needs family affection.
The uncle and nephew hugged each other and peeed for a long time. In the middle, Xiao Sixi and the others wanted to try to persuade him, but Er Mao stopped him.
"It's rare for Your Majesty to vent your grievances, so let Your Majesty do so... Don't hold your depression in your internal organs!"
After crying for a while, Yi Pei let go of Zai Chun. He wiped his tears and sighed, "I understand Your Majesty's suffering, but Your Majesty, you also have to understand... Who in the world doesn't suffer as an emperor?"
"Was it difficult when Emperor Kangxi was in charge? Ao Bai was in charge of the chaos outside the Three Feudatories. Didn't he have to bow his head when he should?"
"Before Emperor Yongzheng ascended the throne, I encountered countless assassinations, both large and small. The eight princes who seized the throne were not the least bit involved!"
"Qianlong is considered the Taiping Emperor, but he also has an older brother who wants to kill him. After he ascends the throne, there are also people who conspire to rebel!"
"Your Majesty can ask the old man in the Ministry of Internal Affairs about many things... There are countless conspiracies and intrigues in the Forbidden City recorded in the secret files!"
"Why is there a rule in the imperial dining room that the emperor's favorite dish must be removed once it has been picked up by three chopsticks? Isn't it to prevent someone from poisoning..."
"Don't think this is a joke. It's really hard to figure out what the emperor likes to eat. That's a real thought! Poisoning happens all the time!"
"As an emperor, the security system should be stricter and it is not easy to kill... How many of those young brothers and princesses died in the harem?"
"Do you really think they all died of illness? Haha... 80% of them are murders!"
"Your Majesty, I am just saying this to ask Your Majesty to be more careful...it is not easy to take the road of pro-government. You can never imagine how huge your opponent is!"
"Haha... They say I am uneducated and incompetent? Let me get along with His Majesty... In fact, I have been pretending since I was a child!"
"Because I'm afraid... I've seen with my own eyes that a sister who is just six months younger than me, we were playing together in the morning, but in the afternoon she was quarantined because of smallpox..."
"Actually...she didn't have smallpox at all. She was given some medicine and got some red rash...she didn't starve to death in the end!"
"How can you handle this as an emperor? The British are bombarding Guangzhou, and he still cares about the life and death of a little princess?"
There was an extremely terrifying expression on Yi Pei's face, "I... under the cover of a few loyal little eunuchs, I once secretly visited my sister..."
"She was huddled in the room, unkempt... She was so scared when she saw me that she didn't dare to cry loudly. I saw with my own eyes that her neck was covered with bloody scabs from fingernails..."
"She stuffed the snacks I brought her into her mouth in one bite and almost choked to death... In the end... she just cried and said she was hungry, hungry..."
Yi Pei covered her face and cried bitterly, "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...I was only six years old at that time. What could I do? What could I do...I could only watch her starve to death..."
"Why...why..." Zai Chun's face turned pale.
Yi Pei shook his head, "No reason. I asked my mother secretly... Actually, no one cares about a child without a mother. The little princess is pretty, so she is afraid of being spoiled!"
"Since then, I have been scared to the core...I don't dare to taint my power. I would rather deliberately not endorse it and let my father whip me. If I deliberately pretend to be stupid, I would rather not snatch the throne!"
"So I survived and became the knight-errant king of Sijiu City, Xiao Wuye...hehehe..."
The laughter was full of sadness. Before leaving, the imperial uncle said to Zai Chun, "Until you are not completely sure that you can protect yourself, too much power is poison. Remember, my nephew!"
After Yi Pei left, he became the free-spirited King Xiao Wu Ye again. The three hundred hectares of Zhuangzi were given to Emperor Tongzhi. Zai Chun looked at the pile of land deed documents without saying a word for a long time.
"Here comes someone! I have ordered Ma Ming to take a group of officers who are proficient in engineering as soon as possible tomorrow and go north to Shunyi to measure the terrain... The main camp of my new Yulin Army will be placed in the south of Shunyi City in the future!"
"Re-adjust the schedule... The Jiangnan expedition must be compressed, and the Spring Festival must be spent in the Forbidden City!"
Emperor Tongzhi was lying on the bed, clenching his fists and recalling the scenes that happened during the day. He thought of the scene where he risked his life.
"I have been ordered by heaven, and even the assassins cannot get close to me even if they carry the imperial chariot... This is my destiny, this is the enlightenment given to me by God!"
"The Holy Emperor protects himself with hundreds of spirits. Any little boy will definitely be defeated! I will win, I will win..."
Zai Chun gradually fell asleep as he kept cheering himself up. One hundred loyal new imperial guardsmen were guarding their emperor in the garden. Only these people could give him the last bit of peace of mind.
Jiangnan was a major tax base of the Qing Dynasty and the economic center of the entire empire. It was impossible for Emperor Tongzhi to leave just by showing up here.
From the first day after we were picked up, the list of inspection tasks was slowly arranged. Foreign envoys from various countries had to meet with them even if they just said a few nonsense words.
The Jiangnan Special Economic Zone on both sides of the Yangtze River is also small in scale. Although they are all light industries such as silk reeling and spinning, they are still quite large. You should also take a look at these places.
Jiangning, the golden city of the Six Dynasties, also known as Nanjing, needs to be inspected more. This time, it is a public tour of Jiangning. This is the first time a Qing emperor came here after the Taiping Rebellion.
The political significance is even more important. The Hunan Army mobilized a hundred thousand people to protect the emperor's safety!
Emperor Tongzhi's words and deeds have become the focus of all forces in the Qing Empire. Even Zuo Zongtang in the northwest can get the latest telegrams sent by the Ninth Commander.
But now Zuo Zongtang is not in Lanzhou, but heading west to Yumen. On the road leading to the Western Regions, there is a long line of troops that can't be seen at the end. There is a constant flow of cavalry carrying messages, and the smoke and dust stirred by the army cover the sky and the sun!
