Only those who have personally experienced the turbulent situation in the capital can understand the painstaking efforts in Er Mao's words. At present, many forces in the capital are stepping on a tightrope, and no one dares to say that they have an absolute chance of winning!
It is this kind of situation where two sides are afraid of fighting a wolf with a straw, and it is precisely because many parties do not have the absolute confidence to eat the other side in one go, so it is obvious that the extremely violent method of mutiny will be abandoned by people!
At the moment, it seems that no matter whether it is the Xishan Army or the Yulin New Army, including the Hunan Army and other old battalions in the capital, these armies dare not move without permission!
This is how fighting is, there is no complete certainty, and there are many opponents... even wise men are not willing to raise large armies!
But the more this situation does not break out, the more dangerous it is. Manshun's fate has reminded Ermao that the enemy is very crazy. If they don't know how to fight a hot war, they will definitely end up in a cold war!
Even if the killing is obviously unsuccessful, he will definitely choose assassination!
Assassination is sometimes more terrifying than overt killing. If you kill Manshun today, will you kill someone else tomorrow? Will he attack the emperor and the queen mother in the end?
If it comes to this, the situation the head of state wants will not be easy to achieve!
Everyone in the flower hall understood Er Mao's worries, but no one dared to answer this question. Cai Bixia sighed and shook his head, "Er Mao... don't always say that the situation in the capital is important. In fact, there are countless secrets in Nanyang that are related to the life and death of the Chinese people. Big deal!"
"In the future, when we explore the Central Plains, we will always have a few strategic weapons in our hands, right? Food is not just one, but there are also oil resources that are about to be used on a large scale..."
"Including electricity and mechanical processing... these are unknown areas that even foreigners are exploring. Who can the head of state entrust to?"
"No matter how chaotic the situation in the capital is, at least it is chaotic within a circle that we can understand! How can we find comparable examples in China's thousands of years of power struggle!"
"If the head of state is not around, at least there is Marshal Zeng to support him for a while!"
"But for those new things overseas, except for the head of state who is at the helm, who can give direction?"
"Needless to say, it goes without saying that the oil dug out of Brunei is a strategic resource for the next five hundred years and the lifeblood of any nation!"
"But I can't see any use for it. What else can it be used for besides being a *****? Of course, it can also be used as fuel for lighting and heating..."
"But this doesn't raise his status so high, right? But the head of state is so determined!"
"Who knows what's going on? But we all trust the head of state unconditionally. Anyway, I don't understand how important oil is, but since the head of state said it, it must be very important..."
"The head of state is also very busy!"
Hey... Ermao didn't say anything. He cupped his hands with the secret letter in his arms and turned back!
There was no conversation all night, and before midnight the next day, Er Mao got up, washed himself, and took a sedan chair all the way to Donghua Gate. It was not yet bright at this time, and there was only a ray of white light in the east, just like a line.
The streets and alleys were quiet, and the early spring wind was already a little warm. It carried withered branches and fallen leaves and flew deep into the alleys. Er Mao could vaguely see the shadowy figures deep in the alleys. He knew that the CIA must have prepared it in advance last night. Totally ready!
"A secret letter entered the palace, maybe three or four lives were lost last night! This Forty-Nine City is really a dangerous place, hey..."
The sedan rushed all the way to Dong'anmen. It was already greeted by officers and soldiers of the New Yulin Army. After entering the Forbidden City, Da Sixi led a group of eunuchs and escorted Er Mao to the Yangxin Hall!
After entering the Yangxin Gate, Zai Chun was doing morning exercises. He and Xiao Letian had developed a good habit of getting up early in the past five years. Emperor Tongzhi, who was doing horse walking, saw Er Mao coming and immediately stood up, took the towel and wiped it. sweat.
"How is the situation in Manshun? Is there any way for the British to cure it?"
Er Mao shook his head, "No! Dr. Buck was helpless and just drained a little blood... His suggestion was to ask a Chinese military doctor to perform a craniotomy immediately!"
"He said there was congestion in Manshun's brain, and it was these congestions that made him unconscious! Today, Chinese military doctors have the best craniotomy skills in the world!"
"Then why don't you hurry up and invite me!" Zai Chun said eagerly.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, Manshun will be recuperating in my house during this period! I have already sent an emergency call to Naha and the Special Administrative Region, asking them to coordinate the nearest doctor to perform Manshun's surgery..."
"As for how many days Manshun can survive...it depends on fate!"
Er Mao sighed and said to Zai Chun, "Your Majesty, can you come into the palace and let me talk to you alone... I have important information to report to Your Majesty alone!"
In the world of eunuchs, only Ermao has this privilege, and it was specially approved by Zai Chun!
You don’t need to call yourself a slave, you can call me or Weichen directly. In the entire 200-year history of the Qing Dynasty, Ermao is the only one!
This privilege makes Da Sixi and the others go crazy with jealousy, but there is nothing they can do!
"General Manager Ermao... haha... His Majesty was still handling affairs at midnight last night. I'm afraid there are some things you don't know yet, right?" the senior said happily.
"The thief who tried to kill Manshun was Wang Zhong from Prince Gong's Mansion. His head was cut off and he was sent to the palace!"
"His Majesty also issued a decree last night, saying that all the elderly eunuchs and maids in the Forbidden City will have a funeral arrangement, so that there will never be a tragic incident of people dying of poverty and illness after leaving the palace in the future!"
"Didn't you notice on the way into the palace that many eunuchs and maids were excitedly kowtowing to the Yangxin Hall to express gratitude? What a sign of good governance this is..."
This Da Si Xi is really interesting. On the surface, his words were meant to remind Er Mao, but in fact they were flattering the emperor and even a little bit provocative.
The subtext is, long live my Lord, please watch out. We all flattered and said good things about such great good governance last night, but these two cents are indifferent at all!
Isn't this disloyal? The villain is always so sinister yet smiling when he takes the bait!
Er Mao no longer had the energy to argue with him, so he just nodded, "Really! I already know. Thank you for the heads up... Your Majesty, please come to the palace and I have something important to say!"
He didn't pay any attention to Da Sixi's attempts to sow discord. This made him so angry that smoke was pouring out of his mouth, but there was nothing he could do. The Emperor was not angry!
Seeing His Majesty and Er Mao enter the west side hall of Yangxin Hall, which is also known as Qinzheng Qinxian, Da Sixi quickly walked a few steps to go in and wait, but she didn't expect to hear the little emperor say something as soon as she reached the door.
"You all go to the yard and wait. You are not allowed to come in without my warning... Get out!"
"嗻...嗻嗻..." Da Sixi, whose face was flushed with shame, fell backwards and returned to the yard.
"What are you looking at... spread out, no one is allowed to eavesdrop!"
Er Mao confirmed that there was no one around and no one outside could hear them, so he took out the secret letter and held it in front of Zai Chun.
"Your Majesty...the secret letter written by the head of state...please burn it immediately after reading it!"
