    The night has entered the hazy colors it brings. In the hot summer night, under the cool moonlight, everything seems so unreal. Xiao Yungui stood under an ancient pine tree outside the Sutra Hall of Tianning Temple.  ¡ïIn the Buddhist chants, he stroked the ancient pine with his hand. He saw the ancient pine under the moonlight, with dancing shadows and curved branches. It may have been hundreds of years old, but it still had the tendency to stand upright. He couldn't help but think to himself,  I wonder if this old pine tree would still be there in the era when I traveled back in time?

    Xiao Yungui arrived at Tianning Temple early to wait. He only brought more than a hundred guards, but this did not mean that he completely trusted the beauty he was about to meet. More than a thousand cavalry guards were waiting two miles away. Once they  Send a signal here and a thousand Guards Cavalry will rush over.

    Standing under the ancient pine tree, looking up at the vast starry sky, Xiao Yungui recalled the scene when his parents took him to watch the stars when he was a child. Although his family was very poor at the time, he was very happy. Unfortunately, his parents later divorced, and he had to live in a single-parent family.  life.  When he was a child, he was very quiet. When he grew up, his father and mother formed their own families, and then they both became rich, so both parties continued to give him a lot of money as compensation.  But what's the use of it?  So Xiao Yungui quickly became a playboy. He spent money like water, changed his girlfriend like clothes, and was cynical all day long. He was venting his dissatisfaction with his childhood.

    Later, in order to expand his business, his father married into the Song family in the capital, so he and Song Qingyun met.  Xiao Yungui was extremely disgusted with this kind of transactional marriage. At the same time, most of his disapproval of the marriage was due to his dissatisfaction with his father, so he rejected Song Qingyun.  But don't know why.  On the contrary, Song Qingyun liked him very much, or maybe that was exactly what he said.  What is not available is good.

    Song Qingyun went to the same university as him in order to get close to him.  As his contact with Song Qingyun deepened, Xiao Yungui discovered that Song Qingyun was not only beautiful but also knowledgeable. She was sometimes lively and cheerful, sometimes delicate and charming, and sometimes bright and moving.  Song Qingyun was different from himself. He only became rich after his family became a nouveau riche. However, the Song family in the capital was a third generation of nobles. Song Qingyun's noble temperament was innate, so every time he was with her.  Xiao Yungui would always feel ashamed of himself and feel invisible pressure on his shoulders.  Therefore, Xiao Yungui disliked being with Song Qingyun even more. Sometimes he would rather quarrel with the four-eyed girl than feel more relaxed around Song Qingyun.

    But Xiao Yungui never dreamed that a trip would allow four people to travel back to the Qing Dynasty, and then each of the four would have their own fate. Now he has become the Western King of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and is very likely to unify the country in the future.  After years of leading the heroes, he has accumulated power, and he is no longer the stupid young man he once was.  He also asked himself that if he met Song Qingyun again, he would not have any inferiority complex, but when it came time to meet again, he still couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

    While thinking wildly, half a stick of incense passed.  Xiao Yungui stood upright with his arms folded. He finally saw a young woman walking in slowly, her charming eyes glancing at him gently.  Xiao Yungui looked intently.  She was seen wearing a light green brocade dress and moon-white lace trousers.  Her hair was hanging loosely, without any bun.  She didn't use any rouge or gouache, but she exuded a delicate fragrance. The charming eyes under Liu Ye's eyebrows seemed to have an indescribable charm under her eyes.  Although her appearance had changed, Xiao Yungui recognized her temperament and behavior at a glance.  Those smart and charming eyes, complementing her bulging figure, were even more full of charm, which made Xiao Yungui's heart palpitate.

    Xiao Yungui didn¡¯t know what to say for a moment. There were no words to confirm his identity or other words. The two recognized each other. Thinking of the many twists and turns when he and the four-eyed girl recognized each other, it seemed that the two of them were more familiar.

    After the ensuing conversation and Xiao Yungui's long-planned words of persuasion, Song Qingyun very rationally exposed Xiao Yungui's plan. In the end, the sentiment was peeled off with every word, leaving only dirty politics.  trade.  Then Xiao Yungui knew why he and she recognized each other so quickly. It turned out that he and she were the same kind of people.

    Under the moonlight, she smoothed her hair and then said: "His Royal Highness the King of the West, we don't have to go around in circles. There is not only Zaichun behind me, but also millions of Manchu and Han soldiers and civilians who support me.  Two hundred years of Manchu heritage cannot be eliminated overnight. If you want us to surrender, you must come up with a sincere and attractive peace negotiation plan."

    Xiao Yungui looked at her and sighed softly and said: "Can't we talk about some feelings?" She sighed quietly and said: "Song Qingyun died after traveling through time. Now standing in front of you is the Queen Mother of the Qing Dynasty.  Yehenala Xingzhen!¡±

    Xiao Yungui smiled bitterly and said slowly: "I thought too simply. It turns out that a change in identity will change people's feelings."

    Xingzhen responded with a smile, slightly bitter.?? said: "That's not necessarily the case. If I didn't hold this high position, nothing would be a problem. But if I didn't hold this position, I'm afraid the person standing here talking to you today would be someone else."

    Xiao Yungui shook his head and said: "If it were anyone else, I would not have made an appointment to meet alone. The war with the Manchus has now reached a point where it needs a political solution. It seems that blind war cannot solve the problem, especially now that our Taiping Army needs to race against time.  circumstances."

    Xingzhen nodded and said: "Since you also have the idea of ????negotiation, let's talk about your plan first, and I will also listen to see if there is any room for change."

    Xiao Yungui walked two steps with his hands behind his hands: "The Qing emperor abdicated, the five ethnic groups were in a republic, and the Han people were in charge, and we jointly resisted foreign aggression."

    Xingzhen shook her head and said: "The most we can do is agree to draw the Yellow River and rule it. You have to withdraw from the Northeast and become a country of brothers from now on."

    Xiao Yungui laughed, a smile that truly emanated from his heart: "Qingyun, your idea is simply impossible. You are dividing the country. Neither you nor I can bear this historical responsibility."

    Xingzhen smiled slightly, winked slyly and said, "Aren't negotiations always asking for high prices and paying back on the spot?"

    Xiao Yungui chuckled and said slowly: "Qingyun, I think you should be more serious. According to the current situation, the Manchu Qing Dynasty is declining. You need to use territory to exchange for future social status and to survive here.  Chance."

    Xingzhen was slightly startled, then her voice became colder and she said: "I don't think you can kill all the Manchus. For more than two hundred years, the Manchus have long been integrated into this land, and you can no longer completely separate them. Moreover,  If you deal with the Manchus, what about the Mongols? What about the Hui people? What about the Miao people? Once you deal with one ethnic group harshly, other ethnic groups will inevitably be in danger, and then the country under your rule will be unstable."

    Xiao Yungui gave a thumbs up and said with a smile: "As expected of Empress Dowager Cixi, a generation of outstanding women, she immediately grasped my vital point. Well, it is indeed impossible for me to kill them all, but what if we use war to make the Manchus withdraw from the stage of history?  , then the life of the Manchus in the future may not be better than the social status obtained through negotiation. You should think carefully about the future of tens of millions of people in Manchu and Mongolia. If the war continues, all the people who will die will be our future compatriots. The war will slow us down.  In the country¡¯s industrialization process, aren¡¯t we working hard now to avoid the humiliating history of more than a hundred years?¡±

    Xingzhen responded with a smile and said: "What a big hat, a little girl can't afford it. But, His Highness the King of the West, you have to know that the Manchu Qing Dynasty still controls Henan, Hebei, Shandong, Shanxi, Shaanxi-Gansu, Xinjiang, and Mongolia."  , outside the customs, most of Sichuan and Anhui, although the north is vast and sparsely populated, its population is not 150 million, and it can still afford more than a million soldiers. Do you think that just the peace negotiation plan you mentioned above can satisfy all the people?  Have people given up their country?"

    Xiao Yungui folded his hands in a leisurely manner and said with a smile: "Then please come up with a reliable plan, but there is no need to say anything about splitting the country."

    Xingzhen smiled slightly and said: "Well, my bottom line is a constitutional monarchy, the emperor is still a Manchu emperor, and the government is elected by Han people and all ethnic groups, how about that?"

    Xiao Yungui couldn't help but laughed again and said: "Qingyun, Qingyun, you are still very sinister. This cannot be your limit. The Qing Emperor must abdicate, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty will also be  It must be changed, otherwise how is this different from recruiting our Taiping Army? Do you think the Manchu Qing is qualified to recruit the Taiping Army? Does the Manchu Qing still have the ability to maintain the throne and the title of the country?"

    Xingzhen said with a sly smile: "I have already regressed. If the Qing emperor abdicates and the Manchus take the title of state, there will be no basis for negotiation. There is nothing wrong with a constitutional monarchy. The withdrawal of the Manchus from the political stage is just symbolic.  Retaining the title of the country and the throne, doesn't that satisfy you?" At this point, Xingzhen paused, then looked at Xiao Yungui strangely, and said with enlightenment: "I understand, you want to do it yourself  Be the emperor."

    Xiao Yungui did not hide his ambition at all, and said with a wave of his hand: "I think the fastest way to achieve a constitutional monarchy is by our children and grandchildren. At the beginning of the country's founding, we must maintain that there is only one voice and one attitude in the country. I am confident that I can control it."  Looking at the overall situation, I am confident that I can lead the country to rejuvenation. Why shouldn't I be the emperor? The Han people in the world will not agree to retain the title and title of the Qing Emperor. Qingyun, you should be more realistic."

    Xingzhen pursed her lips and said: "Han people in the world, you are talking nonsense again. You honestly think you can represent everyone. Let me tell you, at least the Han people in the north still support the Manchus. Even Zeng Guofan in Hunan only hopes that the Han people can  Just control the government."

    ?????

    Xingzhen still shook her head and said: "Impossible, the Manchus are used to confinementIf they are allowed to return to Manchuria for self-government, many problems will arise. And if you allow Mongolia and Manchuria to be self-governing, won't you be afraid of the independence of these two places in the future?  "

    Xiao Yungui smiled bitterly and said: "Then we have no choice but to fight to the death" (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
