Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The Prince Ding's Mansion, located in Gangwa City, Southwest Fourth Street, has now become the most prestigious place among the Manchus in Beijing. Although most Manchus regard Prince Ding as a traitor among the Manchus, for most of them, even their daily lives  For the Manchus who couldn't survive, visiting Prince Ding's Mansion to find someone who stuttered became their last choice.

    Prince Ding Pu Xu enjoys the feeling of being complimented by everyone very much. He thinks that Pu Xu is already sixty-seven this year, how many years does he have left to live?  If you can still enjoy such treatment when you are approaching old age, your life will not be in vain.  You know, after inheriting the title of Prince Ding in 1854, he was just a dispensable person in the clan. Although he had a high title, he had no real power at all. Many people with lower titles than him looked down upon him.  , thinking he was just lucky.  Now?  Although many Manchus still looked down on him, his current status among all the Manchus was unmatched.

    However, the current betrothed prince Pu Xu frowned and had a gloomy look on his face.  It's been two days since he returned from a banquet at the palace, but he still hasn't finished what Wang Yuze told him. How can he do it?  Originally, he thought that Yuying's marriage to Wang Yuze was a high priority for his family, and he wanted to work hard to complete the tasks assigned by Wang Yuze, which would also earn him some face.  But unexpectedly, the Manchus treated their people as thieves and sent many people to investigate, but no useful information was found.

    "What's the use of talking about you three brothers? It's been two days and there's no news at all. How can we report to the emperor?" Pu Xu scolded with a cold face.  In front of him, three sons, Aisin Gioro?  Yu Chang, Aixinjueluo?  Yulang and Aixinjueluo?  Yuying lowered her head, not daring to speak out loud.

    "Amma, hasn't he not ascended the throne yet? What kind of emperor is he?" Aixinjueluo?  Yu Ying said, he is the youngest, only fourteen years old, so he naturally has no scruples when speaking.

    "How presumptuous! Although the Emperor has not yet ascended the throne, doesn't he know what is going on? Let me tell you, don't think that the Emperor is your brother-in-law, just because you dare to speak rudely! Although the Emperor doesn't pay much attention to this aspect, we can't let outsiders laugh at us.  .You know, in half a month, our family will be one of the top wealthy families in the country!" Pu Xu said excitedly.

    "Yes, father. We know it!" the three brothers said quickly.

    ¡°Let¡¯s get down to business, is there any way to find out what the gang of rogues want to do?¡± Pu Xu asked.  He wanted to show off well in front of Wang Yuze, so he was naturally very dedicated in tracking down people among the Manchus who had evil intentions.

    "Amma, it's not like you don't know that although those slaves often take food from us, when asked about this matter, they all keep silent, as if we are not Manchus!  "Yuchang said.

    "Alas! You three brothers, you haven't used snacks for a long time. Do you think of other ways? Let me tell you, after the emperor ascended the throne, the titles of the previous royal family will be gone. Western Sichuan basically has nothing to do with titles.  I need merit in exchange. Maybe because I am older, the emperor can give me a title to live in peace for thousands of years. But what about you three brothers? What will you do if I die? We can only work hard to do errands for the emperor.  Only then can the family prosper forever!" Pu Xu said sincerely.

    "I know, father! We will find someone to inquire again tomorrow. I don't believe it. We paid a big price, but we still can't buy useful information?" Yulang also said quickly.  Now their family is tied to the same boat as Wang Yuze. If they want to get ahead, they have to work hard, even if they have to use the blood and bones of their own people to pave their way to glory and wealth.

    "That's good!" Pu Xu nodded with satisfaction.

    At this time, the butler came in: "Your Majesty, Prince Li is here to visit!"

    "Prince Li? Why is he here so late? Take him to the side hall, and I will go see him right away!" Pu Xu said.  Prince Li was one of the first-class dignitaries of the Manchu Qing Dynasty!  Aren't you still respectful in front of him now?  You know, in terms of seniority, Prince Li is his grandfather.

    "Yes, Your Majesty!" The butler quickly withdrew.

    "You guys go down first! I'm going to see Prince Li!" Pu Xu said to his three sons.

    "Amma, please leave me!" At this time, Yu Chang and the other three, who had been scolded for a while, breathed a sigh of relief.

    After resting for half a cup of tea, Puxu went to the side hall. This was intentional. Prince Li Shiduo and Ronglu were already waiting for him there.  However, despite waiting for some time, there was no hint of impatience on their faces.  Who told them to seek help from Pu Xu now?

    "Prince Li and Lord Rong, you are not welcome from afar!" Pu Xu saw Shi Duo and Rong Lu??said with a smile.  At the same time, he mentally guessed their purpose of coming.

    "Prince Ding, you're welcome, it's us who have disturbed you!" Shi Duo said quickly, with a very low profile.  Although he is senior, his status is not as high as others!  I have to bow my head!

    After the guests and hosts sat down and the maid served tea, Pu Xu asked straight to the point: "You two came to visit late at night, what's the matter?"

    "Prince Ding, let's be honest, we have something to ask for!" Shi Duo said.

    "Oh? Prince Li, if you have any use for a junior like me, just ask." Pu Xu said.  Shi Duo was quite careful about their betrothal to the prince's palace at the beginning. Although this had a lot of utilitarianism in it, it also made Pu Xu very grateful.

    "Prince Ding, we would like to see the commander-in-chief. Please introduce him to him!" Prince Li said.

    "What? You want to see the commander-in-chief? The commander-in-chief is busy with everything, so it's not that easy to meet!" Pu Xu shook his head like a rattle.

    "Prince Ding, we have something important to report to the commander-in-chief. If it comes true, it will be a great achievement!" Prince Li said.

    "Oh? What's the matter?" Pu Xu asked.

    "Among us Manchus, there are still some who have not seen the current situation clearly and want restoration. Such people simply deserve death. Although I, Shiduo, am a member of the Manchu clan, I cannot tolerate such things happening.  , naturally I have to report it to the commander-in-chief!" Shi Duo said.

    "Oh? Prince Li, do you know about this matter? That's great. Yuze asked me to inquire about this matter two days ago, but I still don't have any clues. If you have any news, then  It couldn't be better!" Pu Xu said happily.  He was worried about how to communicate with Wang Yuze?  It's better now, the credit will come to you.

    Prince Li Shiduo smiled and said nothing. It was obvious that neither he nor Ronglu would reveal the information they had worked so hard to obtain before meeting Wang Yuze.  Otherwise, Pu Xu took the news to receive the reward, what would they do?

    Of course Pu Xu knew what they meant, so he said: "In this case, Yuze attaches great importance to this matter. We will enter the palace immediately!"

    That night, Pu Xu took Shi Duo and Ronglu into the palace to see Wang Yuze.  Wang Yuze met them in a small conference room in Xinhua Palace. He was already preparing to go to bed, but Pu Xu came to him at this time, obviously he had something important to report to him.

    "Father-in-law!" Wang Yuze came to the side hall and saw Pu Xu, Shi Duo and an old man he didn't know waiting for him inside.

    "Commander!" Pu Xu greeted respectfully.

    "Slave Shiduo kowtows to the emperor!" Shiduo knelt down on the ground and kowtowed three times and bowed nine times to Wang Yuze.

    "Ah! Prince Li, you can't do that. I haven't ascended the throne yet, and you don't have to kowtow to me after I ascend the throne!" Wang Yuze said quickly.  Seeing such an old man kneeling down to him made him feel very uncomfortable.  In addition, he has decided to abolish the rule of kneeling and worshiping after ascending the throne, and only needs to bow to him.  Soldiers can use military salutes instead. This bad habit of kneeling and worshiping should be completely abandoned!

    Shi Duo just got up.

    "Father-in-law, what's wrong with you coming to see me so late? Also, who is this?" Wang Yuze looked at Ronglu and asked.

    "Commander, we have news about the rebels, and we came here overnight to report it to you. This is Ronglu. We can get this news this time, thanks to him sneaking into the enemy's formation!" Pu Xu said.

    "Ronglu?" Wang Yuze looked at the old man in front of him, feeling a little shocked.  You know, in the late Qing Dynasty in history, Rong Lu Rong Zhongtang was a powerful figure!  And, his daughter Gualja?  Youlan is the biological mother of Emperor Xuantong, the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty!  However, now that the Manchu Qing Dynasty has been overthrown by Western Sichuan, naturally there will be no more Xuantong Emperor.

    "This slave is Ronglu!" Ronglu quickly bowed and replied.

    "Okay, now you can tell me what news you have obtained!" Wang Yuze said.

    "Commander! There are some people among the Manchus who are no good. Marshal, you have forgiven us magnanimously, but they do not want to repent, do not know how to repay their kindness, and they still want to rebel and restore the Manchu Qing Dynasty. It is really  This is a crime that deserves death!" Shi Duo said immediately.

    "Well! What's the specific situation? Who are involved?" Wang Yuze asked.

    "It's up to Ronglu to report this to you!" Shi Duo said quickly.  He didn't know the specific situation very well.  Because he also had a close relationship with Western Sichuan, the Manchus were also very wary of him.

    "Commander! This time we have gathered together to prepare for rebellion.It was full of people, including thousands of people.  Among them, Prince Gong's second son Zai Ying and Prince Qing Yi Kuang's eldest son Zai Zhen are the leaders.  Their family had all their property confiscated, and they held a grudge in their hearts. In addition, the death of Prince Gong made them even more resentful towards the commander-in-chief. Only then did they gather together those Manchus who had not lived a satisfactory life and wanted to rebel!  Ronglu said.
