"Uncle! Do you really not care about the Queen's life or death?"
Dexi's words struck Baochu's ears like muffled thunder. Uncle Guo was stunned at that moment, "You...what do you mean?"
"What do you mean? Haha... I won't tell lies, slave. Is it true that I can't understand the world today?"
"Above the court, there are many factions, and the same parties are against those who are different. If you are in one's group, even if you kill people and set fires, you will still be tolerated. If you are not in one's group, even if you are a moral gentleman, you will be killed!"
"Everyone is vying for power, and everyone is climbing up by stepping on the bones of others! This is the case in the court, but isn't it like this in the harem?"
"Don't be stupid, my good uncle, to be blunt, how powerful is your family? How big an official is your father, Mr. Chongqi? Have you ever had real power in your life?"
"To be honest, your family fortune has been ruined since your grandfather Sai Shang'a was dismissed. Fortunately, Mr. Chongqi is good at reading, so he is proud to have won the top prize!"
"But what will happen to us Manchus even if we win the first prize? Since ancient times, the majority of civil servants who have studied are Han. It is an independent small circle, and few of us Manchus can integrate into it!"
"But among us Manchus, what matters is family status, relationships, and bloodline. We don't care much about the quality of our studies!"
"As a result, Master Chongqi couldn't fit into the circle of Han civilian officials, and no one accepted him from the Manchu nobles! As a result, he spent the first half of his life hanging around on the fringes of the imperial court!"
"Hey... the descendants of Mr. Saishang'a want to open a porridge shed but can't even spare ten thousand taels of silver. How do you think your family's business has fallen?"
"You!" No matter how well-educated Baochu is, he still can't stand up to such a direct betrayal!
"Dexi, you bitch slave, how dare you mock my ancestors! Don't think that scholars can't kill people. You can't get better if you piss me off!"
Dexi said with a lonely face, "My dear uncle! I don't care if you kill me now. Without my master, I am just a lost dog. I am worse than a dog alive!"
"How can I be disrespectful in saying this? Do I, a mangy dog, have the qualifications to laugh at people now? Can you wait for me to finish what I said?"
"Lord Chongqi, of course it's a big deal now. The emperor's father-in-law, Lao Taishan, but how difficult was it when he first entered the official career?"
"In the third year of Xianfeng's reign, Master Chongqi was just a copywriter in the capital's supervision and training department..."
"In the tenth year of Xianfeng, the British and French forces invaded the capital. The late emperor went to Chengde. Master Chongqi was not qualified to follow Yujia northward. Instead, he stayed in the capital and guarded the inner imperial city in the name of accompanying patrol. The troops he led were actually regiment drills. !”
"In the third year of Tongzhi, before Lord Chongqi was admitted to the imperial examination, he was just a part-time clerk in the infantry commander's office!"
"What happened after I was admitted to the top exam? I became a lecturer, and was appointed as the chief examiner of the Henan Provincial Examination... That's it. This is all Master Chongqi's resume!"
"Then there is the great joy of the Queen's entry into the palace! My Lord Baochu, do you think your family has any foundation? Which faction are you in?"
"Bah... you are a dog slave! A gentleman is not a partisan! I have the sun and moon in my chest, and the universe in my belly..."
"Come on, come on... I know your scholarly family background, and I know that you are full of saintly principles! But you are brave enough to redeem slaves. You, a saint, have learned so much... why is the queen still being bullied in the palace?"
Just this sentence shocked Baochu. The queen was the pride of their family and the foundation for the revival of the entire family. However, when she first entered the palace, she encountered Cixi's humiliation, which embarrassed the entire family. !
Just because they don't say anything and don't show it on their face doesn't mean they don't have hatred in their hearts! On the contrary, the Baochu family was extremely angry at Cixi for humiliating the queen!
But feudal ethics suppressed them from expressing any dissatisfaction!
Dexi seized this point and began to seek a breakthrough. "I just said so many disrespectful words, but in fact, I only want to express one meaning, that is, the empress is in the palace to provide internal support to the adults, but the empress also needs her family to be here." Please help me outside the palace!"
"It is precisely because my mother's family is weak that the palace can bully the queen so unscrupulously. If His Majesty hadn't loved the queen from the bottom of his heart, how much trouble would have happened that night?"
"Uncle! You need to wake up! Rather than saying that you need my mother to take care of you in the palace, it is better to say that my mother actually needs her family to protect her!"
"The harem is a place that eats people. If you're not careful, there won't even be any bones left! My mother-in-law is too weak to be bullied!"
"What I said is to tell my uncle, to save my prince is to save the queen, and to save your family... As long as the lives of these princes are saved, the snobbery will not disappear!"
"The intricate forces in the court will use all their strength to protect your family and your mother-in-law! Don't underestimate the strength of the three princes! From military affairs to civil affairs, where are our princes' subordinates not there?"
"Don't worry, this is betraying the emperor... Now that the situation is like this, all we want is to save our lives, and we will not consider official positions in the future!"
"Living safely is a blessing. Then can't all the remaining forces be used by my uncle?"
"What is for the uncle is actually for the empress. The empress's status in the harem has been stabilized, and your majesty's empire has also been stabilized by half. Do you think this is a good thing?"
"So! Mr. Baochu, please don't refuse. Come on, come on... have another glass of wine!"
"Here is a Chinese bank cashier's check of five hundred thousand taels, which is pocket money for you and your empress. I will spend another five hundred thousand to build a Guanyin Temple in Xiangshan to pray for your empress!"
"You deserve this, you deserve it all... Hey, drink up this cup!"
What a sharp-tongued dog slave. Never say that slaves are all fools. During the Manchu Qing Dynasty, only the smartest people were qualified to be slaves of top nobles!
With just this sharp tongue, he could talk dead people alive, and he found another way to confuse even Bao Chu, who had read the books of sages and sages!
The impregnable defense line was just torn open!
Baochu himself didn't know how much wine he had drunk. By the time he staggered back to Deshengmen to see Wenxiu's old friend again, the uncle's face was already red!
"Lord Baochu? Who did it?"
"Ah... ah... it's an old friend of my grandfather's. An old friend... my grandfather was once kind to him, so he came to help me!"
"I drank a little too much. I'll say goodbye first. I'll say goodbye first. Later, I'll serve a drink to apologize to Brother Wen!"
Baochu ran away, leaving monk Wen Xiu and Zhang Er scratching their heads!
Prince Gong Yixin got the news that night. He smiled faintly, "This is a matter in this world! It's just unclear. As long as you didn't jump out of a rock, there must be a flaw!"
"Hey...how many Xiao Letian are there in the world? They suddenly appear in the world for no apparent reason. Only this kind of person is the most difficult to fight!"
