"Your Majesty, please calm down..." A group of guards who had been killed and covered in blood knelt on the ground, their heads banged on the stone slab, not daring to move at all!
The Japanese were angrily walking back and forth in the pavilion in the middle of the lake. Today's victory banquet was filled with a handful of flies. It was really disgusting!
"Check! Check carefully for me to find out who did it!"
"It can't be that boy Zai Chun. He has only returned to the capital for a few days, and his tricks are actually showing off. Someone must be helping him with this matter today!"
"Who is it? Zeng Guofan? Or Cixi? Ci'an? Could it be Xiao Letian's CIA? Who the hell is it?"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk... what a mess!" Yi Pei said with emotion from the side, "Don't you doubt me? Maybe it's me, the fifth uncle, who takes action on behalf of my nephew? Hahaha..."
Yi Xin was stunned for a moment after hearing this, but then he looked back at Fifth Brother's unsparing look and shook his head, "Fifth Brother is just joking, brother, I don't believe that Fifth Brother would get involved in such muddy water!"
"Haha...forget it, I won't joke with you!" Yi Pei put down his wine glass, "But I have to talk about you too. Sixth, you run errands, understand economics and politics, and you are good at reading. This brother will respect you. I know No match for you!"
"But when it comes to this Jianghu matter, you are not as good as me!"
"Look at tonight, it's clear that your people have the advantage, but the final result is like this... like a noisy swarm of flies, swarming up wherever there is an enemy!"
"Is this okay? You obviously have Xishan soldiers in your hands, so you have to make good use of your advantage and send row after row of soldiers holding rifles to press them over!"
"Don't fight randomly. Use the city wall formation to surround the enemy. Even if you can't catch them, you can force them out. The troops in the front hall will not be transferred away!"
"Why would you let someone steal your head? Tell me about you! Tell me about you...get out of here and wait until my men come to train you!"
Yi Pei's trickery actually deceived Gui Zi Liu, and Yi Xin did not doubt that he was there and even thanked this fifth brother!
After scolding the group of guards, there was a dead silence in the lake pavilion. For five or six minutes, neither of them spoke. Only the candlelight flickered, making their shadows look like ghosts.
"You went a little too far with what you did today..." Yi Pei's expression suddenly became extremely solemn. He had never spoken so seriously before.
"You don't need to explain, Old Six. I understand what you want to do. I know what you want to do without having to explain... You want to reshape the politics of the Qing Dynasty. Do you want to combine the Eight Kings' Discussion with the European constitutional monarchy?"
"That's what you think, so you keep trying to win over me...but I keep pretending to be crazy and stupid in front of you, without telling the truth!"
"Fifth brother! Since you have understood my brother's heart, why don't you do it with me?" Yi Xin said eagerly.
Shaking his head, Yi Pei sighed, "Things in the world cannot be explained clearly by right or wrong. It depends on whether it can be done! A good idea may not necessarily work!"
"It took our Aixinjueluo family a hundred years of hard work to get out of the tribal system of discussing politics in the past, and it was only during the reigns of Yongzheng and Qianlong that we achieved centralization of power!"
"After more than a hundred years of hard work and centralization of power to this point, do you think you can change this rule with just a few words?"
"It's not that I don't support you, brother. To be honest, although I don't know much about constitutional monarchy, I think so many countries in Europe have used this method to make the country rich and the army strong, so there must be some benefits!"
"Yes, yes! Brother, you must have figured it out. Our Qing Dynasty must also change, otherwise we will wait for death..."
"Hey...what's the point of trying to understand it? You have to make everyone in the world understand it!" Yi Pei spread his hands, "You have to convince the world!"
"With what you have done today, will everyone in the world be convinced? If we fight in the court, we will fight. No matter who pockets the six hundred thousand taels, it is not a big deal!"
"We, the Qing Dynasty, are rich all over the world, so we won't hold grudges for just 600,000 yuan... But why did you kill Manshun? You are so merciless..."
"I...I didn't give the order. Which traitor did this? I already scolded him in the evening..." Yixin also looked annoyed.
"That boy Zaichun didn't want to be so ruthless. He just wanted to scare Manshun and asked many questions about where the money was hidden... But I didn't expect Wang Zhong's torture to be so cruel..."
"This old guy deserves to die. The cause of this incident is him... He really doesn't have any conscience at all just to take credit and reward!"
Yi Pei sighed in his heart, saying that you are now pouring dirty water on the dead, but why are you so happy today when you won the victory?
"Come on... the matter is over, let's investigate slowly, but you have to think about it, if you continue to fight with His Majesty like this..."
"Is there any end? The conflict is getting more and more intense. Do you really want to replace him in the end?"
"No...no no no...brother, I really don't have the heart to be an emperor. Brother, you understand me!"
"Haha, I understand...but that doesn't mean that everyone in the world understands! Well, I didn't drink well today, so I'm leaving...You remember, the 600,000 yuan project fund from the Jiumen Admiral Yamen, I You and Yikuang will get half of it, don’t give it to anyone else!”
"This oil and water... you still have to give it to your own people..." Yi Pei hummed an unknown ditty, left Prince Gong's Mansion under the care of his servants, and headed home in a swaggering sedan chair.
The Fifth Master's Party handled this huge beheading case, but they did it flawlessly. Maybe Guiziliu still had a little doubt about his brother, but considering how carefree Yi Pei was on weekdays, he couldn't get it right.
A fun-loving prince who eats, drinks, whores, and gambles. His position has no real power at all, and he asks for help from him. Would such a person be so bold as to offend him?
Think about it or forget it!
Yi Pei was cleared of suspicion, and the head had already been delivered outside Donghua Gate. The soldiers on duty from the Yulin New Army saw in the dim light of torches and lanterns, a large leather bag flew over with a whooshing sound.
"Who..." The soldier pulled the bolt of his gun.
"The savage presented a treasure to your majesty! There is a letter inside for your majesty to read!" After saying this, the voice disappeared without a trace.
Company Commander Xie Ting planted two torches on the ground, and then used the light of the torches to carefully open the blood-dropped leather bag with his bayonet.
"Hiss... the head! The newly severed head, there is an envelope next to it... This is the murderer who tortured Eunuch Manshun, Wang Zhong, the eunuch in charge of Prince Gong's Mansion!"
"Ah! This is the thief who killed Eunuch Manshun! Send him in quickly and let the generals and managers check it out first!"
