Yi Xin's eyes were piercing, as if he could see through Ellesu's internal organs at a glance. He said lightly, "Elsu, you don't seem to recognize me?"
"Before the little faint emperor Tongzhi was born, I was already making waves in the Qing Dynasty! No one in this world understands the Eight Banners group better than me!"
"That brother of mine, Emperor Xianfeng? He is just a fool. He just found a good Han adviser and deceived my Amma, and then he got the throne!"
"When my fourth brother and I fought for the throne, I had already weaved a huge intelligence network within the Eight Banners that none of you could imagine!"
"I know all the secrets within the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty. I know who is whose illegitimate child. I know who borrowed from whose loan shark. I know who is whose secret son..."
"I even know whose daughter-in-law is breaking shoes and fooling around with the men from that family!"
"Hahaha... Is there anything in the Eight Banners that can be hidden from me? If I want to, I can even investigate how many dogs there are in all the Eight Banners homes, how many are male dogs, and how many are female dogs!"
"Elesu... do you think you are a person with no roots? Do you think I don't know about your master's backstage?"
"Hmph! The leader of the Eight Ministers of Gu Ming! He Shuoyi, Prince Zaiyuan... Who is he to you?"
Listening to the name coming out of Yi Xin's mouth, Ersu screamed and his body shook violently. The skin of his neck rubbed against the blade, and blood flowed down the collar.
But he no longer knew the pain, and he said with a horrified expression, "I...I don't know what you are talking about, I don't know..."
"Hahaha... Come on! Elsu, aren't you the slave herder that Prince Yi Zaiyuan rescued with Chengde Summer Resort during the Daoguang period?"
"Since ancient times, the country has had a tradition of Mongolian princes going to the Chengde Summer Resort to worship the emperor. Whenever Mulan is hunting in autumn, the Mongolian royal palace will take this family to worship the emperor!"
"You were just a horse-herding slave at that time. Because you drank and slept past the hour, you delayed adding fodder to the racehorses!"
"As the saying goes, a horse won't be fat if it doesn't eat night grass! There's a hunting competition tomorrow, but you didn't feed any fodder in the middle of the night, causing a large number of horses to lose their strength, and all of them fell off the chain during the competition!"
Just when your head was about to be chopped off, who saved you? You think there was no one else present at the time, so you think I don’t know?
Prince Yi Zaiyuan used a piece of topaz to buy your life, but in the end you accepted Zaiyuan as your master!
However, Zaiyuan did not disclose your identity. Instead, he sent you to Prince Chengde Li's Zhuangzi and asked you to adopt a godfather. In the end, you actually became a slave in Prince Li's family!
"Hahaha... To be honest, Prince Yi Zaiyuan is a nephew that I like very much. If he was young and promising, he would have been a pillar of the Qing Dynasty if he had survived!"
"He is also supporting his cronies. Your mission is to infiltrate Prince Li's minions, collect intelligence for Zaiyuan, and wait for action, right?"
"But it's a pity that he lost the Xinyou coup. He was the first of the eight ministers of Gu Ming, and his status was much higher than that of Sushun! In the end, he was given a white silk silk by the court to commit suicide!"
"From that time on, you Elsu became an ordinary servant of Prince Li's family. Your true identity is no longer known. There is a typical term for people like you in the spy circle, called disconnection. The kite!"
"But you are a loyal slave. Even if Zaiyuan died, you have not forgotten his kindness... Do you have a house in Nancheng? Did you secretly enshrine Zaiyuan's tablet?"
"Ever since the year of Xinyou, you have suddenly become a different person. You have learned all the dandy tricks of the Eight Banners. You have to build relationships to borrow money, and then you work hard to run errands for Prince Li!"
"I'm afraid there is only one explanation for such a drastic change in personality. You want to be an official, a powerful official, and then wait for the opportunity... to avenge your master Zaiyuan, right?"
"Hahaha... Now I'm in front of you, come on, come and avenge your master!"
"Ah! I'll kill you..." Ersu was a straightforward Mongolian warrior. He was not afraid at all when his secret was revealed, and suddenly pounced like a leopard.
But he underestimated the ability of the guards around Yi Xin. The power of a prince who could compete with Emperor Xianfeng for the throne was unimaginable.
The master he had won over was not something Ersu could resist, and the two guards' scabbards struck like lightning!
One point was placed on his knee, and he knelt on the ground with a pop. The other point was placed on his armpit. Ersu felt that half of his body was in severe pain, and his bones were probably broken.
He knelt on the ground holding his injured ribs, looked up at the sky and burst into tears, "Master! I am still stupid... I can't avenge you... I am incompetent!"
Prince Gong Yixin slapped him away, "You are such an idiot! Who is your enemy? Do you think I am the king who wants to kill your master?"
"Is your brain full of sheep's tail oil? Don't you have any brains to think about?"
"Zaiyuan is my nephew according to his seniority. Why do I want his life? If they keep the eight ministers alive, will it be beneficial or harmful to me?"
"Can't you analyze these? How to deal with the eight ministers Gu Ming after the Year of Xinyou? My opinion is to imprison them instead of killing them all!"
"It is Cixi who wants to kill Zaiyuan and Sushun! That woman wants to fight for his son's rights, and she is also fighting for her own rights!"
"Are you mentally retarded? I have already blatantly rebelled, which means I am against Emperor Tongzhi, so why should I deal with Zaiyuan and the others?"
"If Zaiyuan and Sushun are alive, if they can confront the Queen Mothers of the two palaces and form a situation where the two power systems of the DPRK and China confront each other, it will be beneficial to me, very beneficial!"
"Your master Zaiyuan's life is only good for me, there is no harm. I will get more rights if your master is alive!"
"Idiot, have you figured it out? Your enemy is in the Forbidden City. It's Emperor Tongzhi, the foolish emperor, and the old witch behind him! It's not me..."
"Now, I will give you the last way to go... follow me, follow me and work hard! I will redress your master and avenge you, and I will also give you a great future!"
"Where to go, you decide for yourself... I'll give you a quarter of an hour!"
Ersu was dumbfounded. His mind had never turned around like this before. Ever since Prince He Shuoyi died, no one had analyzed politics for him.
Today, Yi Xin's words were so thunderous that he was deafened and enlightened, right! Isn't he rebelling? Those who rebelled against Emperor Tongzhi also rebelled against Cixi and Ci'an!
Should I trust him or not?
