Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In the evening, halfway through the full-moon banquet held by Emperor Xianfeng's eldest brother, Prince Gong's biological mother, Princess Jinghuang, became unwell. Prince Gong Yi? first asked Xianfeng to resign and sent Princess Jinghuang back to Shoukang Palace.  The Shoukang Palace in the Forbidden City faces south, with a front verandah. The bright and secondary rooms are each equipped with doors with three crosses and six water chestnuts. In the top room, there are sill windows with three crosses and six water chestnuts. There are bright rooms on the back eaves and bright rooms on the front eaves.  Inside the hall hangs a plaque inscribed with Emperor Qianlong¡¯s imperial letter, Ci Shou Ning Xi, and a warm pavilion is set up between the east and west ends.

    Returning to the Dongnuan Pavilion, it was decorated as a Buddhist hall. The interior was quiet and elegant, filled with incense. Princess Jing knelt directly in front of the Guanyin Buddha statue. She rolled the rosary beads in her hands and kept chanting the Guanyin Heart Sutra in her mouth. She closed her kind eyes tightly.  With.

    Yi? Seeing this, he frowned slightly and said, "Empress Huang, you are not feeling well, so you should rest early."

    Concubine Jinghuang did not look back, but said softly: "The emperor has finally found an elder brother, and your mother-in-law should pray for some blessings for this child. Now that the long-haired thieves are causing trouble, and the weather is turbulent, you  All E Niang can do is seek some blessings for you, and there is nothing else you can do to help. On the other hand, you should also take good care of the emperor."

    Yi? Hearing this, he whispered: "The emperor is the emperor, I am just his slave."

    Imperial Concubine Jing turned around at this time, looked at him and said slightly sulkily: "What are you talking about? As the saying goes, brothers fighting tigers are brothers, and father and son are soldiers in battle. If you two brothers can really work together, what are you talking about?  Can a long-haired man stir up wind and waves? You have to remember, and help the emperor take care of the country left by the late emperor, so that the late emperor can rest in peace under the Nine Springs."

    Yi? He didn¡¯t dare to disobey, he hummed softly, and said in a neither soft nor hard tone: ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Queen Mother, my son will handle all the errands assigned by the Emperor seriously.¡±

    Imperial Concubine Jing Huang sighed softly. Her son had a huge gap in his chest, so he felt that he was not inferior to Xianfeng.  When the four and six were competing for the throne, Daoguang chose Xianfeng, the fourth, who was lame and not as talented as the sixth. After all these years, Yi? is still a little grudge.  He was arrogant. When Xianfeng granted him the throne, he specially gave him the word "Gong" to stimulate him and remind him that he was just Prince Gong and a slave of the emperor.

    How can Yi, who is so arrogant and arrogant, swallow such a sigh of relief?  Therefore, although Xianfeng had given him many important tasks for a long time, he was only responsible for running errands.  Not seeking merit but seeking no faults is far less than Prince Yi Zaiyuan, Prince Zheng Duanhua and Sushun in attaining the Sacred Heart.

    At the same time, Yi? also knew that Xianfeng was still very taboo about his fight for the throne, so he simply put his tail between his legs and behaved like a man. He could only say one sentence, but he would never say more than the second sentence.  Every time I go back and forth, I become even more unpopular with the emperor.

    Seeing his appearance, Princess Jing sighed and ordered him to go back to the banquet.  Yi? After a few more words of admonishment, he turned and left.

    Out of Shoukang Palace.  After passing through the Cining Palace and strolling to the Qianqiu Pavilion in the imperial garden, Yi? saw a beauty in palace clothes sitting in the pavilion, followed by a palace maid and a young eunuch.  The beauty in palace clothes looked at him and smiled lightly, as if a faint cloud was passing by.  It's mind-blowing.  Yi? recognized her, but it wasn't the Yehenala Xingzhen who had made a big splash at the eldest brother's full moon party just now. Who was Xingzhen?

    Yi Dao had no intention of avoiding her, so he walked up calmly and asked: "The emperor's sister-in-law is very interested. Do you want to enjoy the night here? Today is the full moon banquet of the emperor's sister-in-law's child, why is the emperor's sister-in-law here alone?"  Yi? is also very curious about this woman. He heard that when she first entered the palace, she was not well received by Xianfeng, but she didn't expect that she would resort to tricks later and get up step by step. Last year, she often accompanied him to review memorials. Yi?  ?I also saw her several times when I met Xianfeng, and then I saw her more often at my mother's place.

    As the number of times he saw her increased, Yi found that this woman had an extraordinary conversational ability, was able to see things clearly, and had insight into people's hearts.  Several times, my mother lectured me, but she always resolved it politely. She also helped me out a few times, and I appreciated her kindness.

    Xingzhen smiled slightly and told An Dehai to leave the pavilion and wait outside. She looked at Yi? and said: "It turns out that Mr. Liu is also a person who has nowhere to go, so he met a very boring person like me. Although Zai Chun is originally from Ben  Although I am not as noble as others, I still made wedding clothes for others."

    Yi? was stunned for a moment. It seemed that this woman was worried about her eldest brother being taken care of by the queen. She smiled lightly and said, "What the emperor's sister-in-law said is wrong. After the emperor's sister-in-law obtained the Sacred Heart, she often accompanied her when she gave birth.  My brother, I am now a noble concubine and the second highest in the palace, how can I say that I am making wedding clothes for others?"

    Xingzhen exclaimed, "So that's what Mr. Liu thinks, so why can't Mr. Liu's words and deeds be consistent? Master Liu has to be careful all day long. Is it because of caution? Or is he afraid of being replaced?  What do others think of making wedding clothes?"

    Yi? was slightly startled. This woman was so powerful. She turned the conversation to herself in just a few words, and her words were vague, but sheYes, I understand.  Then he coughed and said, "I don't quite understand what the emperor's sister-in-law means. Isn't it right for me to do my duty well?"

    Xingzhen stroked her hair with her slender hands, smiled charmingly, and said: "There is nothing wrong with doing your duty, but it will not be beneficial to Mr. Liu's future."

    Yi? He was stunned for a moment, took a step forward, and said with a slight sneer: "Future? No matter how well I do, I am still a prince. Is there any future left?"

    Xingzhen looked at him, smiled and said: "Since the founding of the Qing Dynasty, there have been countless princes. Many princes have indeed remained princes throughout their lives, but Mr. Liu seems to have forgotten the powerful regent of the Shunzhi Dynasty."

    Yi? After hearing this, his expression changed drastically, and he said coldly in a low voice: "Is the emperor's sister-in-law looking for fun at my brother's expense?"

    Xingzhen shook her head and said: "I never do anything joking. Since the founding of the Qing Dynasty, it is facing a great crisis. Chaos and oppression by foreign barbarians. If you are not careful, the country will be destroyed. But.  This is also where the opportunity lies. If there is chaos before us, if we can bring order to the chaos and make great achievements, perhaps the Sixth Master will be far more successful than the regent in the future."

    Yi?¡¯s heart was beating fast, but he didn¡¯t know what Xingzhen¡¯s idea was, so he said: ¡°The emperor¡¯s sister-in-law must be careful, the regent can only be done when the master is young. Now that the emperor is in the prime of life, how can there be a regent?¡±  ?¡±

    ??

    Yi? He snorted.  He stopped talking, turned around and was about to leave, but heard Xingzhen murmur: "It seems that no one can fulfill the late emperor's last wish to avoid the humiliation of Jiangning by the foreign barbarians."

    After hearing this, Yi? shook his body, stopped, and said without looking back: "Sister-in-law of the Emperor, I would like to advise you that the concubines are not allowed to interfere in politics."

    Xingzhen said sternly: "Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. The greater the ability. The greater the responsibility, I can do what I can for the Qing Dynasty and the emperor, so I naturally have a clear conscience. But Mr. Liu, you are a seven-foot man and cautious."  It¡¯s too much. It¡¯s not as good as a woman and a child in this palace!¡±

    Yi? Turned around angrily and shouted: "Sister-in-law, that's enough for you. Don't think that just because fourth brother favors you, you can do whatever you want."

    Xingzhen¡¯s expression remained unchanged.  He didn't seem to be afraid at all, looking at him and said playfully: "Like Mr. Liu, I am also just a servant serving the emperor. It's a pity that I, a slave, can win the favor of the emperor, but it is difficult for a servant like Mr. Liu to win the emperor's heart and make judgments.  .No need to say more.¡±

    Yi? Angry because of shame, he stepped forward and pinched Xingzhen¡¯s jade hand and shouted: ¡°If you continue to talk nonsense, I will hand you over to the emperor for discussion.¡±

    Xingzhen showed no fear, she just looked at the big hand that grabbed her.  He said with an ambiguous smile: "What are you talking about? Are you disrespectful to me, the emperor's wife, the sixth master?"

    Hearing this, Yi Yi felt as if he had touched charcoal. He hurriedly let go of his hand and took a few steps back. However, he stared at Xingzhen hatefully, but Xingzhen still looked at him with a half-smile, her eyes full of ridicule and  Disdainful.

    ????????????? Seeing her pretty face and her delicate and graceful body being so alluring, a burst of longing suddenly arose in his mind.  Yi? was horrified in his heart and hurriedly calmed down. His face turned red and white, and then he said calmly: "What does the emperor's sister-in-law want from my brother?"

    Xingzhen was overjoyed, knowing that Yi?  Mao Zedong established the country and rejected foreigners."

    Yi? sneered: "Easy easier said than done?"

    Xingzhen was not annoyed and said with a smile: "The ambition and talent of Mr. Liu are a hundred times better than those of Zaiyuan, Duanhua and Sushun. Duanhua and Zaiyuan are just jesters, Sushun is ruthless and has offended many people.  You are more than conservative but not enterprising enough. Only you, Liu Ye, have not been able to fully display your talents. If Liu Ye can be the leader of hundreds of officials and gain the emperor's trust, he can establish Western affairs, develop financial resources, learn Western learning, reorganize military equipment, and organize and train new armies.  I think it won¡¯t be difficult to pacify the long-haired people and reject the foreign barbarians.¡±

    Yi Xin was shocked. This woman was really not simple. She raised her eyebrows and said, "I'm all ears."

    Xingzhen said slowly: "Nowadays, there are many powerful countries in the world. Take Britain and France and other powerful countries as examples. The whole country is based on industry and commerce. Industry and commerce are developed, and the country is rich and the people are rich. Industry can produce new types of guns and fast ships, and commerce can enrich the national treasury and the people.  . And the Qing Dynasty was really unable to match the two countries. Therefore, the first priority was to establish Westernization and develop industry and commerce. If industry and commerce flourished, new sources of revenue could be opened up. I heard that the tax on trade routes in the Jiangnan provinces was enough to suppress the war in each province.  If the area north of the Yangtze River can be used for industry and commerce, why worry about not having enough money to do things?"

    Yi Xin's eyes gradually became a little fiery, and he had thought about what Xingzhen said.  He often thought about how he would govern if he were the emperor. What Xingzhen said at this time was exactly what he had thought about in his daily life.??.

    Xingzhen continued: "In addition to setting up Westernization, we should learn from Western learning. It is better to fish for people than to fish for people. The technology of Britain and France has far surpassed ours. Foreign guns are sharp and fast boats are flying. They were all invented by Western learning.  . Only by studying Western learning can we build our own guns, cannons, and fast ships. As the saying goes, learn from the foreigners and learn their skills to defeat the foreigners. Stones from other mountains can attack jade. This is exactly what it is."

    Yi Xin¡¯s face became solemn. It¡¯s not that he had never thought about doing foreign affairs, but he was worried that there would be too much resistance from the DPRK. He didn¡¯t expect that this woman also had such insight and courage?

    Xingzhen continued: "Since the Changmao Rebellion, the officers and soldiers have been defeated. It can be seen that the soldiers and horses of the Green Camp of the Eight Banners are decayed and cannot be used. A new army needs to be established to suppress the thieves and defend the country. However, although the Qing Dynasty relied on bows and horses  The founding of the country, but now firearms have become popular, and most of the firearms in the army are old things. Firearms should be reorganized and reused in order to reorganize the weapons. As for the formation and training of the new army, although each province has regiments to train troops and horse attachments, but these  To put it bluntly, soldiers and horses are private armies of provincial governors and regimental training ministers. Once the country is in trouble, how much can they sincerely help? Moreover, in the future, there will be long-term peace, and there will be no guarantee that there will not be rebel ministers who support the army and respect themselves. Therefore, we should still train ourselves.  It¡¯s better to have a new army.¡±

    After finishing speaking, Xingzhen smiled faintly and said: "I wonder if the words of a woman like me can reach the ears of Master Liu?" (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
