Eunuchs who traveled through the Qing Dynasty

"Will you let it go?"

"I will not let you die!"

"You...what are you still stopping me for? Don't force me...force me..."

"Qing'er. If you really leave like this, life would be worse than death for me. Really, it's better to kill me with one knife. Wife, do you still remember that night in the valley? ? I'm lying in your arms, you said. No matter if I'm insane or in a daze, I'll stay with me for the rest of my life...... Wife, have you forgotten all of it? "

Lin Qing'er's shoulders trembled, and finally she couldn't help crying bitterly, and she weakly let go of Xiao Ran's arm.He tremblingly said: "You...do you really want to force me to death before you are willing to be reconciled?..."

Xiao Ran turned her body and said softly: "If you really decide to leave, I can't stop you. But before you leave, I hope you can give me some time. Even if it's just listening to my last explanation, okay? "

Helping her to sit down by the bed, Xiao Ran sorted out his thoughts, and briefly explained Zeng Guofan's relationship with the Westernization Movement and its impact on the current situation.In the end, he said: "Zeng Guofan really killed a lot. In fact, he didn't just kill your father, there are many more people, even countless people. But in such a chaotic era, many things cannot be chosen. .One general is successful, and the bones are dead. The ancient generals, which one didn't kill people like hemp? Even you and me, on the battlefield. Didn't we kill people in the same way?"

After pondering for a while, Xiao Ran said again: "Anyone has his two sides. While he is harming others, he has also brought about earth-shaking changes to China. Compared with his merits and demerits, I think he will create even better things if he lives. Great value. And he is a very important person to me now. Only with him can I complete the plan in my heart. Qing'er, I don't want you to forget this period of hatred. In fact, your father Isn’t it also my relative? But everything I do today is not for my own benefit. I need you to give me some time, at the latest a few years, and I will let you see that my efforts today are not in vain. At that time, I think my father-in-law will feel extremely relieved when he is alive in heaven."

Lin Qing'er was born in a general family and was well educated and reasonable. Xiao Ran's words were more or less touched.But after all, it is the revenge of killing the father.How can words be resolved?After sobbing for a while, he said, "I dare not say whether what you said is right or wrong. I just want to ask you: If Zeng Shaved his head was your father-killing enemy, would you let him go? The last robbery Sister Xueyao, if it wasn't Rui Lin but Zeng Shaved, would you still say what you said today?"

Xiao Ran was at a loss for words.Indeed, if he were really replaced by himself, even if he once shaved his head and was a Bodhisattva who was merciful and merciful, he would never let it go.Seeing that he couldn't answer for a while, Lin Qing'er cried again: "Is it still! If Xueyao and the others are replaced, you don't think so. They will only bully me, me, what am I..."

Xiao Ran secretly smiled wryly, but this girl saw that she saved Xueyao's mother and daughter with all her life last time, and now she feels that she doesn't care about her, and is jealous in her heart!Caressing her long hair, said softly: "Silly girl, what are you talking about? This is completely different from saving Xueyao. If it were you, I would rather risk my life than to save Xueyao. Go save it." Sighed, said: "About Zeng's head shaved, how about this, you give me some time, let me think about it. At least we should settle the matter of the queen's return to Luan first, yes wrong?"

Lin Qinger remained silent.Seeing that she was a little tempted, Xiao Ran stretched out his hand without losing the opportunity, embraced her in his arms, and gently kissed away the tears on her face.Lin Qing'er turned around to avoid it, but Xiao Ran took advantage of the situation to press her under him, and the fiery kiss fell on her face and lips like raindrops.Gradually, Lin Qing'er had a reaction, her breathing became short, and her delicate body writhed uneasily.Xiao Ran was rich in experience, unknowingly untied her skirt belt, put his hands into her little coat, and kneaded lightly and heavily on the pair of jade peaks.

I just felt that Lin Qing'er was breathing more and more heavily, and occasionally let out a low moan, which made my blood boil even more when heard in the quiet night.Xiao Ran hastily untied his trouser belt, unexpectedly Lin Qing'er twisted his legs and threw him off.Xiao Ran said angrily: "Are you kidding me, do you remember what you promised me?"

"No. Unless..."

"Unless what?"

"Unless you kill Zeng and shave your head."

"Damn!" Xiao Ran didn't know whether to laugh or cry, sat on the bedside for a long time, then suddenly put on his belt and walked towards the door.

Lin Qing'er wondered: "Hey, what are you doing?" Xiao Ran said without turning his head, "I'll get rid of Zeng Shaved first."

→Chapter 080 - Return to the Palace←

Of course he couldn't get rid of Zeng Shaved, and of course Lin Qing'er couldn't make him get what he wanted.

It took four days to walk from Daxing Mountain to Xinggong.During this period of time, Xiao Ran tried all kinds of methods, coercion, fraud, and coaxing, but this wife did not accept such methods at all.Ning Xin was also anxious, helped out a lot of bad ideas, and kept urging Xiao Ran to use family law.Seeing her eyes glowing with excitement and anxiety, Xiao Ran was speechless.It seems that this little girl is really not ordinary lecherous, the devil knows whether she is here to be his wife, or to steal a wife from him.

In any case, the hope of family law is slim.The reason is very simple, for a heroine like Lin Qing'er, ten or eight of Xiao Ran and Ning Xin might not be her match.What's more, she may look and touch, but she is not allowed to be serious. Every time, she makes Li Ran so lustful and desperate, and then pinches him, which makes Li Ran have to take a cold shower in the middle of the night.For a well-developed old man, it goes without saying what kind of cruel abuse this is.Fortunately, there is still Ning Xin who can respond in an emergency, otherwise, he might have vomited blood and died before returning to the palace.

revenge!Absolute revenge!

On the afternoon of the fourth day, the party finally returned to the palace.When the guards saw the two princesses and Xiao Ran, they were stunned. The first to report was not the queen, but the Military Aircraft Department and the Ministry of Internal Affairs.It turned out that the last time Princess Ningwei was robbed, the first person everyone suspected was Rui Lin, and it was taken for granted that this quasi-fu robbed his fiancée and rebelled.Only a few people including Sushun got the secret report.After guessing the truth, they both tacitly let it go.Xiao Ran fell for a ready-made advantage, and once played a major role in saving him.

Ning Wei didn't say anything, she just said that she was not feeling well, and even went back to the palace without seeing the Queen and Concubine Yi.Everyone knows her temper.No one dared to speak too much.On the contrary, Ning Xin hurriedly ran to see the queen, and said that the last time she was playful, she delayed her trip in Beijing.This is a little witch in the world. Although it caused everyone to fear, she could not be beaten or punished. She could only be reprimanded symbolically, and she was fined half a year's monthly silver.Ning Xin didn't care about it at all.Watching over a wealthy husband, even if he was fined a hundred and eighty thousand yuan, it doesn't necessarily feel bad.Who cares about such a small amount of money?

The two Zhunquanfu, Ruilin and Dehui, were both accused of treason this time, and as usual they were going to punish the Nine Clans.Duke Chengyong and Xi Dutong were enemies who were going to be jealous when they met, but now they have become brothers and sisters. They simply wiped out the 3000 defenders in Shanhaiguan and went north to Shengjing to seek refuge with Nayan Xinduo.But with the failure of Prince Gong's plan, Nayan Xinduo can only protect himself, how dare he recruit this pair of mourners?This time, Shirab really became a lost dog.As a last resort, he led his army via Tongliao, followed the Daxing'an Mountains to the north in a panic, and fled to the Sino-Russian border.Along the way, the [-] troops ran and scattered, until they reached the Huma area.There are less than [-] people left.Somehow, he took over the top of a mountain and became the king of the mountain.It's a pity that it's really an enemy from the previous life. The King of the Mountain didn't sit still for long, and he met Xiao Ran again. Of course, that's for later, so let's press it for now.

As for the two quasi-foreigners, the current whereabouts are apart from Xiao Ran.Even Sushun didn't know, but everyone knew in their hearts that there would definitely be no chance of seeing the sun again.The two fairy-like princesses became young widows as a matter of course, thinking of this crop.Xiao Ran could laugh out loud in his dreams.

And the thing that excites him the most is seeing the queen.It has been nearly a month since we met last time, and the queen seems to have lost some weight, but her complexion is good, and she looks more charming and charming than when I met last time.Especially when he saw Xiao Ran, he couldn't hide the surprise on his face.At any rate, when Ning Wei, Concubine Yi and everyone else had dispersed and sent away the eunuchs and maids, Xiao Ran grabbed the Queen and was eager to kiss her.The queen refused to say anything this time, and said coquettishly: "No! You slave, you left without saying a word, and you left me for so long, and you haven't figured out how to punish you! Say, what should you do? crime?"

"Punishment kiss!"

"Go! You're out of shape. The wound on your neck, why hasn't it healed yet? Untie it and let me see." The queen stretched out her tender fingers like spring onions while talking, gently touching Xiao Ran Rubbing on the neck.The desire that Xiao Ran made for her was all aroused, and he didn't care too much, he lowered his head and pressed it heavily on her lips.It's been a long time since we parted, but this kiss was indescribably sweet, a bit of refusal in the accommodating part, a bit strange in the familiar part, and it made people feel all psyched up for a moment, and couldn't stop it.

After a long time, the two reluctantly parted from this extremely lingering kiss.The queen gave him a light thump, and said angrily: "It's not dark yet, so you're so impatient, and you're not afraid of being bumped into by others!" She, who was always dignified, didn't expect to say such frivolous words, so she just uttered them. , suddenly felt startled, couldn't help the blush on his face, and said in his heart that he really couldn't learn well with this perverted eunuch.A pair of big, watery eyes were full of anger and resentment, becoming more and more charming.Seeing Xiao Ran, Xiao Ran's heart skipped a beat.

"What are you afraid of? Is this exciting enough?" Xiao Ran glanced at her maliciously, and said with a smile, "Sister's words can easily make me think about it! Could it be that it's dark, we..."

"Bah! It's dark." The queen turned and escaped from his embrace, and said with a coquettish smile, "You really are a perverted eunuch! I'm already living in Dongnuan Pavilion, so you just want to do it." What, there is no chance!"

It turned out that the last time the little emperor came to the throne, he immediately named the queen as the mother empress dowager, and Yitai noble concubine as the holy mother empress dowager.The cabinet respectfully proposed the emblems of the two palaces, one is Ci'an and the other is Cixi.but here

In the matter, Sushun did some tricks.Originally, on the day of the burial, with the queen's permission, the two palaces were personally named empress dowagers, but Sushun had already expected that, and intentionally passed on the title of empress first.It was already a day late when the imperial edict was drawn up, and it was considered that Concubine Yi was officially granted the title.Although the two palaces are of the same honor, but after all it was such a day late, it was natural to distinguish between superior and inferior.

According to the rules, the emperor accompanied the spirit as a "filial son", had to sleep on the ground, and moved to Yanbo Zhishuang Hall.It is called "Yi Lu".The remains of Su Shunzuo Chen and other emperors were put into the Golden Chamber, and the East Nuan Pavilion was vacated, and the Queen Mother was asked to move there as well.In this way, on the one hand, it is convenient to take care of the emperor, and on the other hand, it is convenient to summon his ministers.The Empress Dowager originally felt that it was inappropriate to meet the ministers in her own palace.Agree immediately.But remembering what Li Ran had told her that day, she made the decision and asked Concubine Yi to move in as well, so she lived in Xinuan Pavilion.However, the time was one day later, and Concubine Yi was still lowered by half unknowingly.

No matter how high or low, after all, the status is determined.According to what Xiao Ran said that day, the Queen discussed with Concubine Yi how to handle government affairs.At this time, they began to change their names to be sisters, and the two young widows were concerned about how to govern and participate in politics.After all, there are many things I don't understand.Speaking of this, Concubine Yi has the foresight. Because she often reads the memorials for Xianfeng, she has more experience. Thinking of Sushun's dictatorship, she has a little more foresight.At that time, all the edicts and court mails were drafted by the Military Aircraft Department and submitted to the two palaces. In name, the two palaces were invited to read them. If there were any inappropriateness, they would send corrections.Then hand it over to the Victory News Office of the Ministry of War for distribution to various places.However, Sushun and others, as the eight ministers who assisted in government affairs and Gu Ming, and at the same time were in charge of the military aircraft department, if the edict and the court sent it out without changing it, and then issued it in such a way, the empress dowagers of the two palaces could only do it. stare.

However, I borrowed the memorial of the victory of the last round, and brought out the two seals bestowed by Emperor Xianfeng.An imperial reward and a Tongdaotang, declaring that no matter whether it is an edict or a court post, the two seals must be stamped at the same time to be considered effective.This idea was clever and tight, unknowingly taking over the final decision-making power, which really caught Sushun and others by surprise.But when I thought about it, they were just two young widows, and they had no real talent for governing affairs.Even if it is changed.It is also necessary to refer to the ground, and to refute it.

At this time, it was like walking on thin ice, and the queen and concubine Yi knew very well that even if they got this decision-making power.You must not come up with any ideas, which will cause criticism instead.Therefore, at the beginning of the political discussion, the empress dowagers of the two palaces and the eight ministers of Gu Ming got along quite harmoniously, so that even those who stood on the side of King Gong, or who were deeply afraid that Su Shun would be domineering and disrupt the government, had to say: "If things go on like this, it won't be good from the beginning." Sushun's position has been quite stable, so the attitudes of those who were waiting to see the situation began to change, and they gradually approached Sushun.Naturally, she was getting farther and farther away from Prince Gong.

After saying this, there was a worried look in the queen's eyes.Xiao Ran didn't seem to care.He was naturally sure in his heart that as long as Prince Gong and Sushun joined hands, it would be a foregone conclusion to defeat Sushun.But the key now is when this old and cunning Prince Gong will come forward.Last time, in the name of countering the rebellion, as soon as he left Beijing, he was photographed by the thoughtless heavy rain. Of course, this matter could not escape Sushun's eyes, and he naturally became wary in his heart.Thinking of this, he couldn't help shaking his head, as if he was talking to the queen, and also as if he was talking to himself: "If I didn't guess wrong, it's time for the Sixth Prince to come forward. Why is it that the scripture to invite you to go to the house has not been revealed until now?" Didn't it come up?"

The queen couldn't help widening her eyes when she heard this, and said in surprise: "Hey, I haven't said it yet, how do you know? Little Sanzi, don't say you saw a fairy again, you, you really guessed it very accurately Woolen cloth!"

"Ah, Zhezi really came?" Xiao Ran was overjoyed, and immediately felt relieved.Prince Gong finally came out, so it was only a matter of time before he drove back to Luan and pulled out Sushun!Seeing the queen's adoring expression, he couldn't help laughing and said, "I'm a prophet, otherwise, how can I serve my queen sister well?" But I said in my heart, my buddy also watched it on TV. Selling now, no one is cheating.

The queen was shy for a while when he said this pun.What Xiao Ran couldn't see the most was her shy appearance, he couldn't help hugging her in his arms again, at least for a while.It was only dusk at this time, and he didn't dare to make a fuss too much, and finally waited for him to let go, and the queen straightened her temples before explaining the ins and outs of Prince Gong's request.It turns out that there are still some twists and turns.

If according to the brotherhood, it would be reasonable for Prince Gong to come to Rehe to pay homage to the Zi Palace.But after such a toss, Yishun is in trouble.At that time, Xiao Ran was not there, and the empress dowagers of the two palaces lived deep in the palace, where could they find out about these things, and they were eagerly looking forward to the Sixth Master's coming to discuss the big plan, but there was no sign of him for a long time, and he felt more and more uneasy.At this moment, thanks to An Dehai, he came up with a bitter plan, and "missed" the bowl of rice porridge with chicken sauce that the queen gave to Concubine Yi, but was punished by Xing Shensi and sent back to the sanitation office of the Beijing Palace. servant.Once in Beijing.An Dehai immediately found Bao Jun, the Minister of Internal Affairs of the place where he stayed in Beijing.

This Lord Bao has the best relationship with Prince Gong, almost to the point where he can joke around at will, which is one of the reasons why Xianfeng hated him a little while he was alive.So this trip, Baojun was ordered to stay in Beijing.Because of his relationship with Prince Gong, Concubine Yi was the safest to find him, and immediately handed him a secret decree.Take a look.There are only a few words: "The empress dowagers of the two palaces also gave an order to Prince Gong: think about it as soon as possible, and rush to and fro in order to prepare for major events. Keep it secret! Special order."

Secret decree at the beginning and press foot, end to end

With the two seals of "Yu Shang" and "Tongdao Hall", Bao Yun knew the matter and handed it over to Prince Gong.Prince Gong has always been scheming, if it is said that Concubine Yi intends to join forces with him, it is a matter of course.But regarding the Eastern Empress Dowager Ci'an, I had to put a question mark in my heart.After all, the queen is generous and peaceful by nature, and rarely pays attention to government affairs. It is quite uncertain to say that she will help Concubine Yi to deal with Sushun.If the seal was stamped due to affection, or even under duress, then once the action is taken, the result will be very difficult to end.

He didn't see An Dehai in person at the moment, so he asked Bao Jun to inquire about the situation at that time in detail.When I heard that it was because I broke the porridge given by the empress, I suddenly realized: Empress Dowager Dong is acting with this head.It shows that the two palaces are going to work together to deal with Sushun!An Dehai's bitter plan is also meticulous and subtle.

After figuring this out, he immediately took a reassurance, wrote Chen with a pen, and invited him to go to the Zi Palace.It was the fifteenth day of May.By the time the memorial arrived at the Chengde Military Aircraft Office, it was already May [-]th.What Sushun was most afraid of at the moment was that this ghost six would come up with tricks at this moment, but the written statement could not be directly approved, and it was put on the desk for three or four days before it was submitted to the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces. hands.

After all, they are brothers with Xianfeng, originally thought that Sushun had nothing to say this time, and the two palaces were excited.Approved immediately.But Sushun found another excuse, saying that Prime Minister Gong Wang's affairs in the capital are important places in the capital and should not be empty.It is reasonable to pay homage together when returning to Luan.This was originally a far-fetched rhetoric, but the eight ministers did not budge even an inch.Concubine Yi was arguing with them blushingly, and almost froze like last time. The queen thought that not only would it not be possible to get things done, but it would ruin the plan, so she had to come forward to mediate.A paper memorial was delayed for another four or five days, but it was finally not distributed.

Now that the matter is here, the two empress dowagers don't know what to do.Xiao Ran couldn't think of a good solution for a while, and frowned, "I may not be able to call it accurately about the political situation. It's really hard to come up with random ideas on this matter." After pondering for a while, he suddenly said: "That's right. Sister, what has Sushun been up to these past two days?"

"What else can you be busy with? The famous man is preparing to return to Luan, and sometimes he can't be found for a day. I see him, I wish he could hide and drag his tail!" Speaking of this matter, the queen was very angry.After thinking about it for a while, he suddenly said: "By the way, he gave a year name, picked two characters, and decided on 'Xiangqi'. He worked very hard on this matter, citing scriptures and allusions, and kept reminding him I asked three or four times."

"Xiangqi, year name..." Xiao Ran repeated it several times, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "I know! This guy Sushun, thanks to his quick thinking, this step is ahead of the sixth prince. Well! Well, the sixth prince is here this time, I have an idea!"

The queen was both surprised and delighted, and said, "Really? Tell me, what's a good idea?"

"This, um..." Xiao Ran rolled his eyes, and said with a smile: "It's okay to know, let me serve my sister well tonight, so I can explain this idea to you in detail, okay? "

After all, the empress has a thin face. Hearing this, she felt her ears burning up. She was ashamed and angry. She couldn't help but grabbed a fly whisk from the table, and smacked it on his head with the carved sandalwood handle. Knocking wildly, he said: "No serious thing, stinky slave! Let you talk nonsense, see if I don't throw you to the Criminal Police Department, let you get a solid board, and see if you dare to talk poorly!"

Xiao Ran hugged his head and shouted exaggeratedly: "Don't dare, don't dare! Sister, please forgive me!" Seeing his funny appearance, the queen couldn't help but burst out laughing. He kissed loudly, then reached out his hand shamelessly, touched his full chest quickly, turned and ran away.The queen was so angry that she couldn't help but feel a headache when she saw his frivolous appearance.

After arguing for a while, Xiao Ran said solemnly: "Sister, don't be afraid, I really can't serve you tonight. If you guessed right, that iron hat Su Zhongtang can't wait to see me, right? Once, I happened to go to find out about him."

As soon as the queen heard about Sushun, she immediately worried and said: "You go by yourself? Is it okay? Sushun has become more and more domineering these days! I just had a quarrel in the hall a while ago, and I'm afraid he will harm you."
