Eunuchs who traveled through the Qing Dynasty

Yan Lin was even more ashamed, and said: "You still say bad things!" She punched Xiao Ran hard.Then he raised his face and said, "Then...are you going to leave at night?"

Xiao Ran pinched her breasts that were about to come out viciously, and said: "I can't bear it? Hehe, I also can't bear my sister. But it can't be done tonight. After returning from the expedition, I haven't stayed with Yuting and the others in the mansion yet. "

Yanlin sighed lightly, feeling a bit resentful.Xiao Ran secretly blamed himself for being too direct, and hurriedly said: "Anyway, I have already returned, and I have plenty of time, so I will come to accompany you tomorrow, okay?"

Yan Lin smiled and said: "I don't know you yet? I'm a busy person, so many beautiful wives at home can't accompany me, how can I have time to accompany me?" Xiao Ran was about to explain, but Yan Lin said again: "Don't be blind I think, I don't blame you. It's just... well, forget it, today is a happy day, let's not mention it!"

Xiao Ran is impatient, and he has to figure out everything immediately.Hearing her ambiguity, of course she kept asking.Yan Lin hesitated for a long time before saying: "It's fine to tell you, but... just I'm afraid you will get angry."

Xiao Ran said: "Don't you know what kind of person I am? You can't be angry with my good sister if you are angry with anyone, just say what you have to say."

Yan Lin lowered her head, as if she was making up her mind, and said hesitantly, "Do you...do you want to go...to see her?"

Of course Xiao Ran knew who she was.Frowning, he said, "Did she ask you to say that?"

Yan Lin hurriedly said: "No, don't misunderstand!" Then she shook her head and said: "I knew that as long as I said it, you would definitely misunderstand. But the fact is not as you imagined, Lan Er did not Let me say anything for her, and don't beg me to do anything, really little three, you trust me!"

Yanlin is the most kind-hearted person, and has a straightforward temperament, just like a clear spring, one can see the bottom at a glance.The more this happened, the more worried Xiao Ran was. With Lan'er's scheming, it couldn't be easier to win her over. Who can guarantee that this wasn't some kind of trick Lan'er played with him through Yan Lin?

Could it be that this woman is unwilling to be lonely again, ready to move?Xiao Ran's face became more and more ugly.Although Yan Lin was kind, she was not stupid, of course she could see that Xiao Ran was angry, she couldn't help sighing, and said: "Lan'er once told me not to let me say these things to you, it really makes sense. Little Sanzi, you may not believe it. During this period of time, Lan Er has been deliberately alienating me. I think she is afraid that I will get too close to her and cause misunderstanding. Also, the Queen Mother asked her to come from me several times. Leng Gong moved out, afraid that you would object, and took advantage of your absence, but Lan Er would rather resist the order than step out of the Leng Palace. Why? It's just because she was afraid that you would misunderstand that she was playing tricks. But Xiao Ran , Lan'er is really pitiful now, don't you know about those days when the sun never came out? Don't think about anything else, for the sake of being a husband and wife for a day and a hundred days of kindness, don't you really have the heart to let her live there? forever?"

After saying these words, like throwing a stone into the lake, Xiao Ran's heart suddenly became confused.Laner, Laner...what are you thinking now?Should I think of you as the scheming Empress Dowager Cixi, or a down-and-out concubine who guards the palace alone?

perhaps……

"Take me to see Lan'er." Xiao Ran took a deep breath, "Actually, I came to you today because I want you to take me to see her. I have something important to ask her."

In the government affairs of the Qing Dynasty, including the intricate factional entanglements and interpersonal relationships, the one person who is most important is not Mei, but Yehena Lalaner.Although Lan'er has been relegated to the sidelines now, the experience and insights she has accumulated in hearing secrets and reviewing memorials for many years are incomparable to Mei, who has just taken over government affairs for a year.Therefore, Xiao Ran intends to make a fuss about the political power, and Lan Er still needs to point out many unclear points.

Of course, there is another candidate, that is, the life and death of Wang Yiquan, the king of politics, is the family property laid down by generations of Manchu ancestors.He is an out-and-out drug addict, and he has already pinched his lifeline. Let him take off his pants and run around naked in Bada Hutong. It may not be a big problem, but let him overthrow the foundation created by the ancestors of the past generations with his own hands. Will he obey obediently?

The answer may be yes, or no.Everyone has a bottom line that cannot be touched. Once this bottom line is exceeded, it is difficult to predict what crazy things he will do.And Xiao Ran didn't know that when Yi had a way out, he wouldn't take this risk easily.

And Xiao Ran himself, of course, has a certain understanding of some affairs of the Qing court.But after all, the time is too short, and he is a typical lazy, hands-off shopkeeper, and he doesn't pay much attention to this aspect on weekdays.Compared with Lan Er, his advantage is that he is very clear about the direction of this period of history, but this is a general concept.In terms of specific affairs and interpersonal relationships, he still cannot compare with Laner, who has been immersed in government affairs for several years.

The road to the cold palace.Xiao Ran's mind was in a mess.Originally, he was just planning to use Lan'er, but Yan Lin's words made him feel inexplicable.Soon I arrived at the Leng Palace, and was about to enter the door, when I heard a childish voice shouting loudly: "...Is it the king's land in the whole world, and the king's minister on the shore of the land. I am the Son of Heaven, so I can do whatever I like. No one cares about it. If you keep nagging me like this, I will never come here forever! Hmph. If it hadn’t been for my mother to force me to come, do you think anyone is willing to come?..."

Xiao Ran couldn't help frowning.Yanlin hurriedly tugged on his sleeve, and walked in together.In the small courtyard, the little emperor Zai Chun was pointing and scolding, looking very unhappy.Mei Liangfu and Zhang Wenliang stood behind him with sad faces, not knowing what to do.

At this moment, Di Lan'er was standing in front of Zai Chun, her delicate and charming face was still charming, and she didn't seem to be displeased at all.But his eyes were indescribably bleak.It seemed that the whole person was slumped and lost his anger.With a forced smile, she stretched out her hand to brush off the broken snow on Zai Chun's shoulders, and said softly, "Your Majesty, Er Niang... I don't want to restrain you, but now is not the time to be playful. You are old enough to study hard. Only then can we govern the country and secure the country..."

"Enough! Didn't you hear what I said?" Zai Chun's neck twitched.Take a step back.Loudly said: "I have a mother-in-law, you don't need to worry about it! Hmph, I don't even look at who I am. Do I have the right to control me? I've been mixed up in the cold palace, and my face is almost completely humiliated by you." Already!"

Lan'er's arm froze there all of a sudden, her mouth opened, but she couldn't say a word.

"Your Majesty!!!" Yan Lin couldn't bear it any longer, she rushed forward, pulled Zai Chun's sleeve and said, "She is your mother-in-law! You, how could you..."

"Don't worry about it! I don't have such a mother!"

"Little bunny!"

With a loud roar, Xiao Ran, who couldn't bear it anymore, flew up with a big foot, kicking the little emperor flying far away, and fell to the snow with a solid plop.Everyone was frightened and dumbfounded, staring blankly at the appalling scene in front of them, they didn't come back to their senses for a long time, and no one thought of helping the little emperor.

The same is true for Zai Chun, since he was a child, he has been the emperor of the real dragon, the only dragon species in the Qing Dynasty, who dares to touch a finger?I have never tasted the feeling of being beaten in my life.Suddenly, he was kicked heavily by Li Ran, and was completely stunned. It took a long time before he let out a wow and cried earth-shatteringly.Only then did everyone wake up, Mei Liangfu and Zhang Wenliang rushed over to help the little emperor, but Yan Lin was afraid that Xiao Ran would rush up to beat him again, and hugged Xiao Ran tightly, ignoring the eyes of everyone.

Lan'er looked at Xiao Ran, then at Zai Chun, and said: "Mei Liangfu! Hurry up and gather people, guard the Leng Palace, block Jingge and Beisan, and no one in this area is allowed to enter or leave! Zhang Wenliang, take the emperor to the inner room , find someone to call the imperial physician! Sister Yanlin, please go and invite the Queen Mother, and tell her to come over immediately, you must hurry!"

Lan'er is very clear about the relationship between Mei Liangfu, Zhang Wenliang and others and Xiao Ran.This order, it seems that she has become the majestic and decisive queen mother from before.I don't know why, although she is a down-and-out concubine, she naturally brings out such an aura when she speaks.Mei Liangfu et al.

Only then did he realize that the most important thing right now was to block the news.What if things become unimaginable!

Take the order now and split up.The little emperor wailed unceasingly, kicking and planing with all four hooves, but Zhang Wenliang didn't care about the emperor's servant at this time, put his head under his ribs, and went into the house.Yan Lin wanted to look for Mei, but she was worried about Xiao Ran, and said hesitantly, "Then he..."

Lan'er said: "With me here, don't worry, little Sanzi will be fine." Seeing that her tone was sure, Yan Lin didn't say anything more, nodded and hurried away.The maids of the cold palace and the accompanying eunuchs were all driven by Mei Liangfu to a small wing in a corner and surrounded.

Lan'er and Xiao Ran were the only two left in the yard, staring at each other, neither of them spoke for a long time.At this time, Xiao Ran also regretted his recklessness, but the matter had already happened, so it was useless to regret.He coughed and said, "Well, don't be unhappy when you beat your son. This little bastard just owes discipline."

Calling the little bastard obviously forgot who Zai Chun was born.Lan'er didn't care, she took Xiao Ran's hand and said, "Don't talk here, come with me."

The Lenggong is always quiet, the courtyard is not big, through the main room, from the side door to the backyard, it is a small warehouse.The inside has been cleaned up, only a few stools, a statue of Guanyin on an incense table, and a futon on the floor.Although simple, it is spotless.

Looking at the furnishings in the room, Xiao Ran couldn't help but want to speak, but Lan'er spoke first: "When did you come back? Is the war going well?"

Xiao Ran said: "Yesterday, it went well."

Lan'er nodded, pondered for a while, and said: "You came to me today, did Yan Lin tell you something? Probably because I got too close to her recently, sorry. She is a straightforward person, If you really said something, don't take it seriously."

After a pause, he said again: "Although this is a lonely palace, I have a calm heart. I really feel good now, and I don't want to go anywhere. Little Sanzi, if you still miss a little bit of old love, let me stay here quietly After living the rest of my life, Lan'er is grateful!"

After finishing speaking, Yingying prostrated herself with crossed hands.Xiao Ran didn't expect her to say such resolute words, he was stunned for a moment, recovered his senses after a while, quickly helped her up, and said: "What are you doing? I didn't say anything, why is it like this?"

Lan'er stood up with a blank expression on her face, and said: "You came to see me today, shouldn't you come to see me specially? Tell me, is there anything I can do?"

Xiao Ran rubbed his hands together in embarrassment, and said: "Since this is the case, I won't go around with you anymore. There is something that I still can't make up my mind, and I want to ask you what you mean."

Let's talk about the current situation now.Shi Dakai marched into Hebei, of course he couldn't tell Lan'er that he was responsible, only that the remnants of the Nian Army had rebelled.Then it was said that Liu Changyou's command was unfavorable, and the monk king and Ruoanayan were returning to rescue, and the battle situation was roughly expressed.Lan'er pondered for a long while, raised her eyebrows, and said, "You want to transfer Zeng Guofan to the North Shangqin King?"

Xiao Ran said: "That's what I mean, but I don't know if it's appropriate."

Lan'er walked back and forth several times in small steps, and said: "Little Sanzi, since you came to me, you don't need to hide it from me. You not only want Zeng Guofan to serve as the king, but you also want him to take over as the governor of Zhili, right? no?"

Xiao Ran's face became hot, and he said, "Why do you say that?"

"It's very simple." Lan'er sighed, and said: "At present, the war in the south of the Yangtze River is peaceful, and Zeng Guofan and other local governors have greatly boosted their military strength. On the court side, it is natural to worry that these big shots will support themselves and become kings; and Zeng Guofan and others were even more worried that the imperial court would kill donkeys and disarm the army. The two were suspicious of each other, and the foreign and barbarians were eyeing each other. If they wanted to keep the Qing Dynasty safe, they had to resolve the immediate conflict. Zeng Guofan was transferred to the governor of Zhili. He is the leader of the frontier ministers, and there are a large number of Qing troops stationed in the north, who can check each other. In this way, people will naturally feel at ease."

"But I'm still a little worried that Zeng Guofan will take the opportunity to seize power and force someone to order?"

"No!" Lan'er said without hesitation, "It's right to contain him, curbing his power development is conducive to the integration of Manchu and Han, but Zeng Guofan is more than cautious but lacks courage, he is a good minister, but not a hero! "

"It's the same as I thought!" Xiao Ran was overjoyed, Lan Er's comments were really concise and to the point.Blunted: "In this way, the north-south trend is set, so what should we do next?"

Lan'er stopped abruptly, stared at Xiao Ran with a strange look for a while, and suddenly said in a low voice, "Do you want to move the capital?"

♂ Volume 8 in the harem ♀

→Chapter 158 - Laner←

A secluded place, with tigers and dragons, the situation is grand, controlling Jianghuai in the south, and Shuomo in the north. The capital of Yan Kingdom was established here in the eleventh century. How many heroes are here to prepare their troops and horses, or to win the Central Plains, or to sink their halberds into the sand.

There are many reasons why the Manchu Qing Dynasty established its capital in Beijing instead of in the splendid and prosperous south of the Yangtze River.One of the most obscure points is that the Manchu Qing believed that they had stolen the country of the Han people, and ruled the majority of the ethnic groups by the minority nationalities. When they entered the customs, there were only 30 children of the Eight Banners. The capital is here.In the event of a war, you can withdraw from the customs at any time.

Because of this, the meaning of moving the capital to the Qing Dynasty was extraordinary.The four words Lan'er uttered made Xiao Ran's complexion suddenly change, he stepped forward hastily, and said in a low voice, "Who did you listen to?"

Lan'er turned her beautiful eyes on Xiao Ran's face a few times, and murmured: "So you really want to move the capital! You want to move the imperial city to Jiangning, huh..." Shaking her head, she turned around and walked to the incense table, Light a furnace of incense.Xiao Ran rushed to the door, looked left and right to make sure there was no one there, and then closed the door.When he turned around again, his eyes had become extremely sharp.

"Who did you listen to?" Xiao Ran stared at Lan'er's slim back, and said in a deep voice, "In front of me, you'd better not lie!"

"I said I guessed it, do you believe it?" Lan'er didn't look back, picked up a wooden pestle, fiddled with the incense ash in the incense burner, and said lightly: "I think this kind of thing, except for yourself, should not There will be a second person to know. Xiao Ran, I said that we are very similar. Sometimes when I see you, I feel like I saw myself in the past. And now I have lost all my relatives and have nothing, so there is no need between us. Any concealment or perfunctory, right?"
