"Haha...my sixth uncle is so talented! For the sake of rebellion, he actually trapped me in this way...Baojun, please read this text to everyone..."
"I...I don't dare. I don't even dare to read such rebellious words, let alone read them..."
At this moment, in the Taihe Sect, all the first and second-rank officials from the imperial court who were in the capital had gathered, and they were all kneeling on the ground as pale as earth. No one knew that such a thing would happen.
Some of the third-grade officials also came. They were not qualified to kneel in the palace, so they all knelt on the cold stone slabs on the imperial steps outside!
Zai Chun felt like stars were flying in front of his eyes, but he still resisted the dizziness and could not lose his temper in front of these ministers. He knew that if he showed weakness at this moment, many of these ministers would not know what choices they would make. .
The tightness on his forehead kept Zai Chun's brain awake, "I'm not afraid even if I read it, what are you afraid of!"
"嗻...嗻..." Baojun wiped the sweat from his forehead and trembled as he read the post!
The posters are leaflets and big-character posters in ancient times, which were posted on the wall for publicity. In the era when newspapers were not born, the role of these posters was very important.
Yi Xin's announcement was for ordinary people to see, so the language was very civilian. It listed Emperor Tongzhi's various sins!
One of his crimes was to regard a thief as his father. As the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, he regarded the head of the Chinese nation as his master. He went against the ancestral precepts and went abroad for so-called study abroad.
What is studying abroad? What else should I learn? Do you, Zaichun, dare to make all your courses public?
All you have learned is to betray your ancestors' family law, or even betray the teachings of the saints, in an attempt to change the foundation of the Qing Dynasty!
The second crime is to carry out large-scale construction projects, which wastes people and money!
The Qinghe Industrial Zone consumed tens of millions of taels of silver from the Qing Dynasty's national inventory. The Beijing-Tianjin Railway also consumed millions of taels of silver. Finally, the Beijing-Hankow Railway and the Qing Navy were needed!
What a great success, what's the difference between you and Emperor Yang of Sui who lost his country?
The third crime was not caring about the family ties between the Eight Banners and killing the people. Just because the Banner people opposed your plan for the Qinghe Industrial Zone, you actually slaughtered 30,000 Banner slaves?
You are so cruel and bloodthirsty, what is the difference between you and King Zhou of Shang Dynasty?
The fourth crime is disloyalty and unfilial piety, imprisoning relatives and elders!
It's just that Emperor Tongzhi doesn't care about his distant relatives in the Eight Banners, but even the emperor's uncle is imprisoned, and even the iron hat king is in danger!
The Qing Dynasty governed the country with loyalty and filial piety. If you can't even tolerate your own uncle, who else can you tolerate?
The fifth crime is shameless debauchery!
Do you, Zaichun, dare to explain to the world what is going on in Yudetang? As an emperor, you have some concubines and maids bathing in it every day, and you secretly climb on the roof to spy on women taking baths. How despicable are your thoughts?
How many foreign houses have you kept outside the Forbidden City, and you have not spared even the promiscuous women in the eight alleys. What kind of dirty thing is Saishishi? Can you explain it?
During your study tour to the west, you were nostalgic for flowers in England and Germany. Do you dare not admit that many nobles in Europe provided you with women?
As the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, don't you care about the purity of your descendants?
The sixth sin is to abandon the teachings of the saints!
You have put all the teachings of the sages of Confucianism aside. Even the imperial master Weng Tong and a group of pure people have been imprisoned at home. You only see those demonic Western learning.
You are openly hostile to the saints and are treasonous!
The seventh crime is betraying the country and seeking glory!
How many treaties have you signed with the Chinese and the British since you took over the reign of Emperor Tongzhi? How many concessions have you ceded? How many railway rights were sold?
Now that half of the southern half of the Yangtze River has been sold to other countries, even the coinage rights have been sold, and the rule of the Qing Dynasty has long existed in name only!
Prince Gong Yixin’s post was very long, all in plain English and contained seven deadly sins!
It can be said that Emperor Tongzhi was scolded as a complete villain who was unfaithful, unfilial, greedy, lustful, traitorous and seeking glory!
These sins are true and false, false and false, and true, especially the sin of greed and lust, which is even more exaggerated. With a little gossip, you can start pouring dirty water on it.
I wish I could write down the whole process of how Zai Chun slept with a woman!
Baojun was so frightened that he didn't dare to read anymore. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed desperately, but Zai Chun forced him to continue reading. These rebellious words made the ministers in the palace pale, and some ministers knelt on the ground. My legs were trembling.
"Did you hear everything clearly? Hahaha... I ask you all, did you hear it clearly?"
"I...I am waiting for death...Your Majesty, please calm down..." Everyone became kowtow-worms.
Zai Chun smiled bitterly and said, "Haha... ok, ok... my sixth uncle is really powerful and has such a sharp tongue! I never thought that one day I would be as famous as Emperor Yang of Sui and King Zhou of Shang!"
"They are all talking! Are they all mute? What should I do? Should I just kowtow and beg for mercy, waiting for the so-called Emperor Guangxu to spare my life!"
"Didn't he say that in the telegram? He wants to imprison me in Dongling and keep vigil at my father's grave! What a retaliation!"
"Everyone, tell me, should I surrender? Are you all mute?"
"Prince Zheng! Why are you holding back? I have fallen, can you still advance to another level? You are already a prince, how far can you advance?"
Prince Zheng Chengzhi was so frightened that he kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty! Why did your Majesty say such a thing... Wuwuwu... The king has absolutely no second thoughts. The king will always have the same heart as your Majesty!"
"Haha... Really? Are you really of the same mind as me?"
"I swear to follow Your Majesty to the death!" The other princes also kowtowed to show their loyalty.
"What you say is so nice! They are all loyal ministers and filial sons! But with so many loyal ministers and filial sons in the court, why is there still Yixin's rebellion?"
"I thought I could trust the Eight Banners, but in the end, my direct descendants in Xiling were either killed or incited to rebel! Could it be that I posted the posters all over the city myself?"
"Without rebellion, where did these things come from? Tell me!"
There was deathly silence in the palace. Zai Chun breathed heavily to suppress the anger in his heart, and suddenly pointed at Weng Tonghe behind the princes.
"Master Weng... you have also read this post, and you have already described me as an unprincipled and ignorant king who has abandoned the words of a saint! Tell me, should I issue an edict to sin against myself? Or should I just kowtow and surrender?"
"How about I go to Jingshan and hang myself with a belt?"
Weng Tonghe was released from home in the early morning, and the confinement ban was considered a contact. Weng Tonghe understood the whole process of the matter in the shortest time.
At this time, he calmed down and said, "Your Majesty! Why do you say such cowardly and pessimistic words? Your Majesty is the most righteous among all the kings of the Qing Dynasty, and has the purest right of inheritance!"
"Why do you deny yourself! The devil Liu Yixin wants to sow discord, and we, the Confucian scholars, are the first to disagree!"
Weng Tonghe suddenly stood up, raised his arms and shouted, "What is righteousness? Succession by the eldest son is the greatest principle in the world!"
"Emperor Xianfeng is the successor personally chosen by Emperor Daoguang. Everyone in the world knows it! And your Majesty is the only successor of Emperor Xianfeng!"
"If the world is not your Majesty's, who else's does it belong to? The six traitors of the Japanese will be punished by the whole world!"
"Your Majesty, please give the order! If I, a scholar, want it on the battlefield, I will put on my armor and go to the battlefield immediately!"
