Premeditating a rebellion in front of your father's grave? I want to overturn my father's choice, kick my nephew off the throne, and finally become the emperor himself. Thinking about this makes me excited!
Yi Xin was extremely excited, but Na Duobao felt that the mountain wind outside was biting, and he was so frightened that he had to pee his pants again.
But when you think about it, what Yi Xin said is not unreasonable. You, Emperor Daoguang, are just not good at it. You just don’t have the knowledge to recognize people. Your family education is a complete failure.
Your eldest son was kicked to death by you for just saying a word, or he was kicked to death by kicking him in the crotch. You are a weird father!
The second son and the third son died of illness when they were young, so they were not blessed!
The fourth child is Emperor Xianfeng. He is an incompetent hypocrite who will act out his filial piety in front of you, so you chose him in the end.
The fifth child is Prince Dun, Yi Pei. Is it bitter? Isn't it just that you don't like reading? If you don't like it, you will adopt someone else and leave your own family at such a young age?
Yi Pei will never be able to untie this knot in his life! I didn’t do anything wrong, didn’t I just not know how to read? Why were you kicked out of the house?
I see my brothers and sisters living in the Forbidden City and the Old Summer Palace, living with their father, but I am reduced to the palace of Prince Dun, calling my uncle daddy?
How heartwarming! Lao Wu Yi Pei has been troubled all his life.
Not to mention Lao Liu, this was originally the best candidate to be emperor. He was smart at a young age and good at diplomacy. This attribute was most lacking among the emperors of the Qing Empire.
It can be said that if Lao Liu Yixin succeeded to the throne, the Second Opium War would most likely not have broken out, and the Qing Empire's restoration would have been advanced, let alone burning down the Old Summer Palace!
The most important thing is youth. Being young ensures that he can govern the country for a longer period of time and has better policy continuity!
The seventh child is a kind person, the eighth child died of illness this year, and the ninth child is too young and has a very low sense of existence.
It can be said that you have not raised your nine sons well, but you still think you have raised them well? Who gave you this confidence? As the Qing Dynasty has come to this day, you have a responsibility that you cannot shirk.
In the past, Prince Gong Yixin was unable to rebel due to the constraints of traditional ethics and etiquette. He was unable to break the shackles of the traditional system!
But now that he has thought about it, he has abandoned all illusions and only wants to seize power by force.
But seizing power by force is not that simple. How to raise an army? What's the excuse? After raising the army, how to win the support of the majority of the people?
To achieve this, the most important thing is to smash all the halo around Emperor Tongzhi, and to completely collapse his character as a ZTE monarch.
Prince Gong alone couldn't do it. He needed foreign aid, stronger foreign aid. Before he was imprisoned, at the most intense moment of the struggle, the British came secretly.
Yi Xin knew very well that the person who found him was not the British Prime Minister, nor could it be the Queen of England. It was even possible that the Queen of England didn't know about it.
The person who found Yi Xin was just a faction in the British political force, and that was former Prime Minister Benjamin!
Don't underestimate it, it's just a political faction within the UK, but to Yi Xin, it's like an elephant's thick legs, and it's worth hugging.
As for Britain, as the most prosperous empire on which the sun never sets, the resources that just one faction can mobilize are already unimaginably large!
The purpose of the British is also very clear. The first point is to make multiple bets. For the huge Qing Empire, the British official must ensure friendship with the legitimate emperor Tongzhi.
But there is definitely a risk in putting all your eggs in one basket, then secretly allowing some domestic factions to contact the political opposition of the Qing Empire.
Both sides invest, both sides make bets, so that no matter who wins, Britain's fundamental interests will not be damaged.
The second consideration is, of course, the struggle between political forces within the UK. Benjamin needs political performance and more power to support him in ascending to the throne of prime minister again.
He has no way to get through with Emperor Tongzhi, so it is better to secretly support another one. If Prince Gong succeeds, the Qing Empire will definitely release goodwill and transfer benefits to Britain through Benjamin's hands.
With such a gift package in hand, Benjamin's reputation will be at its peak, his title will be improved, his votes will increase, and the Queen will trust him more.
In the end, Britain will be stronger!
What a good plan. Yi Xin clearly knows that this traditional Chinese medicine has side effects and will definitely cause diarrhea after taking it, but it is a matter of life and death and he can't do it!
The two sides reached a secret agreement, and the Benjamin faction in the British Embassy began to secretly raise funds, part of which was directly from the British pockets, and the other part was the profits directly earned by the British in the Qing Dynasty.
The British have a lot of experience in the financial market. They have investments from Jiangnan to the capital. Sustained profitability is not a problem at all, not to mention the existence of a leading party like Yixin.
Money is not an issue, information must be detailed. The British Embassy has shared almost all the information, and Yi Xin can see every move in East Asia as keenly as the British.
No matter how many warships the Chinese have added, how much the construction progress of the industrial zone in the south is, how much the scale of the capital market has expanded, nothing can escape his eyes.
Even the British Embassy in Dongjiaomin Lane of the capital became a carefully planned hiding place for the Sixth Japs. Isiha had to hide in the British Embassy whenever he returned to the capital, otherwise no one would be able to find him.
Emperor Tongzhi was happily engaged in economic construction to enrich the country and strengthen the army in the open, while Prince Gong Yixin was secretly weaving a web beside the mausoleum and practicing like a spider spirit.
After reading the original English text, Yixin put the white rice paper next to the candle and burned it, watching the ashes fly to the ground little by little. "Delaney said, there is still one step missing in our plan. If we don't complete the last step, I'm afraid it will be difficult." Achieved!"
"Isiha, those three treasures... I trust you two very much. Now I can tell you my plan to give you some confidence!"
"Now that foolish king Zai Chun is on the rise and his luck is at its peak... He is indeed very smart, and Xiao Letian has also taught him a lot!"
"It's a clever trick to be willing to use the stock market to give money to the Eight Banners. Those bastards in the Eight Banners don't have much loyalty to begin with. If you have milk, you're a mother!"
"I was the same person back then. Now that I have made money with the Hunjun, will you still be loyal to me? I can't believe it, so I don't dare to have any contact with them at all during this period!"
"At this juncture, they are eager to make money! God knows that bastard will sell me out, so I absolutely cannot trust them!"
"But the rebellion still needs the support of the Eight Banners, so if you want to get their support, you must make them lose money at the hands of the Hunjun!"
"Compensate severely!"
