Zai Chun is determined to kill the conservatives represented by Yi Xin. These political opponents really cannot stay. As long as he is alive and breathing, you will not be able to free your hands and feet to reform!
But in the Qing Dynasty, it is not that easy to kill someone. First of all, the opponent's status is too high, and there are too many people in the court who are entangled to protect him!
Secondly, there are the constraints of the ancestral family law. Although the prince is said to be killed, the evidence must be conclusive, and there must be clear and ironclad evidence of rebellion and treason before he can be killed!
Thirdly, today's capital is no longer an era where the Manchus themselves can hold the lid. The forces of the foreign and Japanese Japanese are watching from the sidelines. You can't ignore the attitudes of these people!
Especially the British and Chinese, their attitudes were very sensitive to the Qing Dynasty!
If Zai Chun wants to kill someone, he has to create a situation where he must be killed. He will be forced to the point where no one else can speak, and he can't do it without killing!
But before this situation was forced out, he was still afraid that someone would take the blame!
This is so annoying. Conservatives are a huge force. If these people send scapegoats to take the blame, what will they do?
And this most hateful scene really happened. I never expected that Yixuan would be the first to come out and take the blame!
It suddenly became awkward. This Yixuan killed the little emperor's army with his own life. I said that I was the mastermind and I did everything. You can deal with me!
Can Zai Chun really take action? This Yixuan is not easy to kill!
Why? There are two reasons. First, Yixuan is not only his seventh uncle but also his own uncle. How could his own mother Cixi leave her sister a widow?
This Yixuan is Cixi's very big political ally!
The second point is more important. This Yixuan has a really good reputation in the court. He is the only prince among the royal family who is both talented and kind-hearted without any pretensions!
This is very important! The other princes are all talented but have a bad temper, or they have a good temper but no ability, or they are just bastards with a bad temper and no ability!
Precisely because of Yixuan's uniqueness, he has too many friends in the government and the public. These people must not watch Yixuan die!
Once Yixuan dies, the world will say that this is an unjust imprisonment, because Yixuan is not strong at all on weekdays. You, the little emperor, obviously let him get scolded, and he worked hard without complaining!
During the interrogation of the Qinghe factory slave, Yixuan was scolded in the spine, but he endured it with cowardice. If you kill such a good old man, will it chill the hearts of the ministers?
Zai Chun was full of worries, so he decided to bypass the obstacles and find another way!
I won’t discuss your taking the blame first, I’ll find another link to start the fire first!
Zai Chun glanced at Lian Xing, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the crowd, and thought to himself, old man, aren't you being naughty? Then get ready to peel off your skin!
"I was commanding the counter-rebellion in Jingshan last night. I sat there all night with mixed feelings in my heart. Do you know that my fate at that time was like a bonfire on the top of the mountain, blown by the wind and extinguished at some point!"
"You don't need to kowtow, that's what I thought at the time... At the worst time, there were only more than 600 soldiers protecting me in Jingshan!"
"Hahaha... The rest of the army has been sent out to suppress the rebellion. There are only six hundred people protecting me... Do any of you regret it now?"
"If you had been more courageous at that time, even if you mobilized the domestic slaves in your own family and rushed to Jingshan Mountain, my life would have been at stake!"
"Your Majesty, calm down...how dare you have such disloyal intentions!" The emperor even said such heart-wrenching words, and the ministers quickly bowed their heads to express their loyalty!
"That's all! I can't find out if you have such thoughts. God knows who has the thoughts of rebellion?"
"But..." Zai Chun raised his voice, "But you are willing to sit on the sidelines! Let me ask you all, how many people came to escort you last night? How many people hid at home and did not go out?"
"I really feel the despair that Chongzhen felt before he died! Looking at the entire capital, all the ministers who usually bow their heads to show their loyalty are missing?"
"You talk nice, but your feet are oiled? You people have no intention of rebellion, but you are more hateful than those who rebel!"
"Villains! They are all a bunch of villains!" Zai Chun roared angrily. "Now that it's dawn, you see that I'm still alive and well, and you see that all the traitors have been put down. Are you here to flatter me again?"
"What's more, in order to pry into my thoughts, you went to give gifts to the company commander of the new Yulin Army! You are really unscrupulous!"
"I'm in the Yangxin Hall. You have a powerful card in your hand. Why don't you just come to see me! What kind of conspiracy are you planning to get information from the New Army?"
With a snap, the banknote had been crumpled into a ball of paper and thrown to the ground. "Who lost this thousand taels? Why don't you come out and pick it up?"
Zai Chun said angrily, "It's not easy to make money, why don't you hurry up and smoke a big cigarette!"
Even Lian Xing knew about this scene, but when it got to the point, he was so frightened that he became paralyzed! You know, being able to analyze and come up with countermeasures does not mean that he is not afraid!
Lian Xing is gambling on his life. Since there is a gambling nature in it, there will definitely be a result of losing the gamble!
Lian Xing, whose legs were shaking like chaff, suddenly burst into tears and covered his face with his hands. He secretly wiped his eyes with the handkerchief in his hand, and the spicy chili liquid rubbed into his eyes, and hot tears suddenly burst out of his eyes!
"Master! This slave deserves to die... This slave deserves to die..." Lian Xing rushed out and kowtowed, crying with snot and tears!
"Slave Lard was deceived. He didn't go to Jingshan to escort him last night... This morning he became afraid and timid again, so he tried to get by..."
"It's all the slave's fault. I beg Long Live Lord to punish me severely... Wuwuwu... I'm a poor old man. I have served my master for three times in my dying years..."
"Your Majesty, just kill me... Spare my little one's life! This slave is wrong... This slave is wrong..."
The crowd immediately burst into an uproar, and people whispered to each other, "Is it Lian Xing? He has given gifts to the company commander? So it turns out that he didn't go to escort the company last night?"
"What can we do... Lian Xing is the head of the Internal Affairs Office and the emperor's personal servant. He is about to die. Isn't it worse for us without an escort..."
Zai Chun watched Lian Xing spit in his face contemptuously, "Bah...it makes me sick, I don't even bother to scold you!"
"Da Sixi...you wake him up with a good scolding for me, let him know how serious his sin is!"
Da Sixi has now been promoted to the director of the Jingshi Room. It was when his firepower was at its peak. He sneered and raised his foot forward, "Lian Xing... you bastard are you here today? The good things you have done by yourself are always... There are times when I can’t hold it back!”
"Let me explain here today!"
