Now that the words had been spoken, Prince Dun no longer cared about anything. Looking at his nephew, he couldn't help but say a few heartfelt words in response to the "Fifth Uncle" just now.
"Your Majesty, you are still young, and you may not be familiar with some people's ways of the world. In fact, running a country and a family are the same, not to mention that our Eight Banners is a big and entangled family!"
"Actually, many of the troubles in the world are not given to you by outsiders. Instead, the more obstacles you have from the people closest to you, the more obstacles you have. According to Buddhist teachings, if you have no debt in the past life, you will not see it in this life!"
"A family, that huge group of relatives, is just a mess of entangled karma and unclear debts to each other. We can get together in this life only because of these karmic debts!"
"Speaking of relatives, Your Majesty may not understand. Really distant relatives will not hinder you much. Because the relationship is too far away, they are almost like familiar strangers. They are not as good as friends and neighbors when walking around, and they are very polite when they meet!"
"This kind of person doesn't have to think too much! What about the closest blood relatives? There are not many problems. The father's sperm and mother's blood are the natural relationship!"
"The most troublesome thing is actually the relatives who are neither far nor near. The real groups that make people angry and laugh at others are all concentrated here!"
"If your family is poor, they will watch the joke and laugh at you with cold words. If your family is rich, they will be jealous and full of displeasure!"
"They stay away from you when they are poor, for fear that you will come to borrow money, but what if you are rich? They all pounce on you, no matter what they think in their hearts, they talk sweetly, but in fact they just want to take advantage!"
"The principles that apply to our small family are the same for our Eight Banners. These royal nobles of the Eight Banners are close relatives to our Aisin Gioro family!"
"Your Majesty, our branch is passed down from the line of Huang Taiji, but what about the other descendants of Emperor Tianming Gao? That is the origin of the Eight Banners!"
"Dabeile Daishan became Prince Heshuoli. This is the origin of the lineage of Prince Li. Daishan and Huang Taiji are brothers..."
"Similarly, Jierhalang was named Prince Zheng. This Jierhalang is Nurhaci's nephew, not his son!"
"Prince Rui's first title is Dorgon, who is Huang Taiji's younger brother and Shunzhi's uncle..."
"This is basically the case. In the generation of Nurhachi and Huang Taiji, these brothers, uncles and nephews already had a lot of conflicts, and the political struggle between the two sides was extremely conflicting!"
"But no matter what, after all, from the perspective of the emperor with the highest destiny, we can still have a relationship. Just like now, your majesty, Prince Gong, Prince Chun and Prince Chen are all close blood relatives!"
"But two hundred years have passed, and this is a gap of more than ten generations! How can these iron hat kings be close to the royal family now?"
"Our branch has developed from Huang Taiji, Shunzhi, Emperor Kangxi... and the other Princes Li, Prince Zheng, etc. have gradually become what I call close relatives! "
"Here's the trouble! Many problems lie in these relatives who are not far away but not very close. They claim to be relatives to His Majesty, but they have been estranged by blood for more than ten generations. How can they be honest?"
"If you can make a profit, just make it as soon as possible. It's the meat that ends up in your own pocket!"
"You want these people to be completely loyal to His Majesty, wholeheartedly? I find it difficult..."
Zai Chun's face turned pale. He knew that everything the fifth uncle said was right, and he was filled with bitterness. "What should I do? What can I do?"
Fifth Uncle Yi Pei suddenly knelt down and said with tears in his eyes, "There is no other way. The only ones your Majesty can trust are these blood relatives!"
"The minister is Yi Pei, the fifth son of Emperor Dao Guang, Prince Gong is Yi Xin, the sixth son of Emperor Dao Guang, and Prince Chun is Yixuan, the seventh son of Emperor Dao Guang!"
"We are His Majesty's biological uncles! This is a blood relationship that cannot be broken away. If you don't want to kiss your uncle first, who else can you trust? Do you believe these turtle bastards?"
"As for the corruption case in the Thirteenth Cang of the Capital, Your Majesty, you can see clearly. Although our blood relatives dare not say that there is no corruption at all, but the money that is related to the lifeblood of the country and the people, we dare not be corrupt at all. of!"
"In this Qing Dynasty, there are only four of us uncles and nephews, plus the two empress dowagers...such a few people really don't want the ship to sink! We are the ones who really feel sorry for this Qing Dynasty!"
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
"You are covered in iron, how many nails can you drive? You are covered in eyes, but how many people can you monitor? Without blood relatives to help guard you, these bastards will only become more and more crazy and arrogant! "
"There is strength in numbers... Only with many people can we manage... Your Majesty, this is the only sincerity I have for you, all dedicated to Your Majesty!"
"If Your Majesty doesn't like to hear it... then if you want to kill or behead me, please ask Your Majesty... to issue an order!"
With a thud, Prince Yipei of Dun knocked his head on the stone slab, and the sound made Zai Chun tremble!
"Fifth Uncle..." Zai Chun quickly pulled Fifth Uncle up, but Prince Dun was so strong that he couldn't pull him up even if he was dead or alive.
Even the heart of stone was warmed up by Huan. Zai Chun was really convinced. In fact, things in the world are like this. People always want to find the person they can trust the most, but they can never find it.
After going around in circles for decades, I suffered a lot of losses and suffered a lot of sins. In the end, it turned out that my own worthless family was the warmest.
Brothers, uncles and nephews, a father, a grandfather... This kind of relationship is the most ironclad. No matter how many generations have passed, there is no way to guarantee their loyalty.
Zai Chun was moved. He knew that with the power of Prince Gong, Prince Chun and Prince Dun, the three sons of Emperor Daoguang, as long as they were sitting in the capital without having to do anything, other nobles in the palace would have to be more honest.
If three kings can control a capital, there are plenty of experiences and methods!
Zai Chun, who was in tears, choked up his voice, "Fifth uncle... wu wu wu... when did I want to embarrass sixth uncle, seventh uncle and the others?"
"They really don't listen to me. I'm really in a hurry! If they were willing to support me, why would we get to this point?"
Prince Dun cried, "Your Majesty... Now that your industrial reform has seen results, those factories and railways have made money, and you have proven that you are right!"
"Let them come back now! Don't give them any errands, just let them cultivate in the palace... They will be convinced when they see His Majesty's achievements, and they will also change!"
"As long as we don't give them military power or prime ministerial power, we can use their reputation to suppress these bastards!"
"Let's reconcile! How can an uncle or a nephew have any deep-seated hatred...isn't that just the right? If you take it away, they won't have anything to think about..."
Zai Chun closed his eyes and said, "According to you...I comply with you...pass on the decree, release the three princes in captivity, and take them back to their own palace for cultivation..."
"Return all the confiscated property and people back then, return them all... I can afford to support three wealthy and idle princes!"
"Your Majesty...Sheng Ming..." Prince Dun knelt on the ground and cried bitterly. The other eunuchs and guards did not dare to stand anymore and all fell to their knees.
In March, Emperor Tongzhi issued a decree to pardon Prince Gong, Prince Chun, and Prince Qing from their serious crimes, and restored all benefits, except that they would not be given any real benefits.
As soon as the news came out, public opinion in the capital was in an uproar. Of course, the people in the market were willing to see these dramas of reconciliation, because it was in line with the true feelings of ordinary people.
But everyone in the officialdom was dumbfounded. They never imagined that Emperor Tongzhi could use this trick!
But at this moment, in Xiling, the wind was as cold as a knife and murderous intent filled the air. Prince Gong's hand was already on the trigger, and the bloody curtain was about to begin.
