Eunuchs who traveled through the Qing Dynasty

Speaking of this incident, it actually originated from Sushun.Since the last fight, Shengbao was dismissed, and Sushun thought he had gained power, so he took the opportunity to spread rumors among the servants of Rehe Hulu, saying that Prince Gong cultivated his party members with the intention of plotting rebellion.When the news reached Yixin's ears, after much deliberation, the only way to make these rumors self-defeating was to go on a trip to see a doctor.

It is said that my elder brother is sick, so the younger brother came to visit, this is a brotherhood, a matter of course.But Xianfeng did not comment on such a simple memorial.The reason is very simple. When the British and French allied forces invaded Beijing, the reason for asking Yishen to come forward to negotiate a peace was nothing more than to slow down the situation so as to free up time to deploy troops and generals in order to fight again.However, after hearing the words of the old man Guiliang, Yixin actually made friends with foreigners, which made Xianfeng very annoyed.Later, there was the case of the Tianzihao Bank, and thinking of the dispute over Dy and heir, I naturally took precautions in my heart, so I made up my mind and decided not to have Prince Gong come here.

Although Xiao Ran didn't know about this, he also knew that Yixin had something to do with it.The Daxingshan base has just started, and it is not yet fully sure to deal with this scheming Prince Gong.The best way now is to maintain the balance of several forces.So I thought about it for a while and said: "Normally, slaves dare not talk too much about this matter, but since the Lord Long Live asks, he dare not not answer. The sixth prince is the brother of the Lord Long Live. I am afraid that he will talk about the past I can't help but feel sad, then it is very inappropriate for the Eucharist. If the sixth master is considerate of the emperor's heart, he should do a good job in the capital and share his worries for the long live Lord. Kung Fu. The slave is short-sighted, I don’t know if it’s right?”

After hearing these words, Xianfeng was speechless for a long time, with a strange expression on his face.Xiao Ran got hairy from looking at him for a while, and thought to himself, could it be that some sentence hit the nail on the head?Just when he was worried, he heard Xianfeng say again: "Among the concubines in the harem, what do you think Lan Er...does you usually treat you?"

This question was very abrupt, Xiao Ran was startled immediately, and after thinking for a while, he said carefully: "The youngest son is just a slave, it is a great fortune to be able to serve the masters. The master is good to the slaves, No matter beating or scolding, that is the blessing of slaves. But..."

Xianfeng raised his eyebrows and said, "But what?"

"The slave only thinks that the Lord Long Live treats the slave the best. With the grace of the Lord Long Live, he can do a little work for you. That is the blessing that the young man has cultivated in several lifetimes!"

"Haha, you slave, you are born with a good mouth." Xianfeng nodded meaningfully, "As long as you really have this kind of thought, I will rest assured. But don't learn from those flattering villains, blindly gaining money, in the end Lifting a stone and shooting yourself in the foot, the loss outweighs the gain. Well, do your job well!"

After Xianfeng finished speaking, he got up and took Mingquan away, but Mei Liangfu, the first-class guard in front of the imperial court, turned around at the door, took a few guards with knives, and glanced at him playfully.Seeing his murderous look, Xiao Ran was startled for a while: What does this mean?Could it be that Concubine Yi wins me over, and the words reached Xianfeng's ears?Xianfeng brought Mei Liangfu here, clearly planning to deal with me.Oops, judging by the situation, something serious may have happened to Concubine Yi!

After seeing off Xianfeng, Xiao Ran immediately changed his clothes and was about to enter the palace to inquire.Before they could go out, a person rushed in, unexpectedly it was An Dehai!Xiao Ran was taken aback, hurriedly dragged him to the study room, and immediately asked: "You don't serve the master, what are you doing here? Did something happen to Concubine Yi's master?"

At this moment, An Dehai lost all the prestige of the past, and said with a mournful face: "Master... she is no longer a noble concubine, the emperor has decreed that she will be relegated to a nobleman!"

"Ah?" Hearing this, Xiao Ran's jaw almost dropped in surprise, and he stammered, "You, speak slowly, what's going on?"

An Dehai collected himself, and said something out of order.It turns out that the whole story of this matter is precisely because of the memorial that Yi Xinzuo invited to go to Xingzai!

In the afternoon of this day, Concubine Yi was in the imperial study to review the memorials on behalf of Xianfeng as usual.Xianfeng was feeling unwell, so Concubine Li went to Dongnuan Pavilion to serve her.Concubine Yi can't sit on the throne. There is a small table specially set up for her on the side of the imperial book case, and the memorials that the emperor has read on the book case are moved over and answered one by one.

Many emperors were usually too lazy to write a pen when they did not need to personally approve the memorials. They just made a mark with their fingernails.The folds of tribute Xuan paper are soft in texture, with clear and indelible pinch marks. The person who approves the copy will know the meaning of the emperor by looking at the number, verticality, and length of the pinch marks. "Zou", "Yiyi", etc., write out the sentence represented by the pinch mark with a Chinese ink pen, and then the criticism is completed.In the past, this was done by the eunuchs in the respect room. For them, this is a compulsory course for serving the emperor, so there is no need to worry about making mistakes.

Because Concubine Yi often waits on Xianfeng to handle government affairs, of course she wants to take this confidential work that can participate in state affairs into her hands.For her, it was a great opportunity to learn how to run state affairs.In Xianfeng's current state, it will take three or two years at most to stretch his head. After Daxing, the only dragon species, Zaichun, will inherit the Datong.At that time, she will naturally become the second in Xiaozhuang, and it is not impossible for Bao Buqi to become Wu Zetian of the Qing Dynasty.At that time, the burden of guiding the country and governing the world will naturally fall on her.

It is precisely because of this reason that Sushun has always had a headache for her, and has repeatedly suggested to Xianfeng that Concubine Yi has seized power and interfered in the government.But Xianfeng really lacked energy, so in the end, Concubine Yi was the ghostwriter.

There were seventy or eighty pieces of papers received on this day, half of them were yellow papers to honor Shengan, and these were not required to be answered, so they were put aside first.From the rest of the memorials, pick out those that Xianfeng has not marked and need to submit to the Military Aircraft Department for proposals. These memorials are usually the most critical, and they often contain some important military and state affairs, or national events related to the national economy and people's livelihood.If you want to be able to lead the officials and control the government in the future, the key points must be carefully understood in these memorials.

Turning to the last memorial, it was Yixin's "Please go to the memorial and ask about daily life".Normally, Xianfeng should make a mark on this. After all, his elder brother is ill, so it is only natural for the younger brother to visit him.Of course, Sushun was the last one who wanted Yixin to come. In the past, when such documents were reviewed by the Military Aircraft Department, Sushun would immediately drown them.But this time it was sent to the dragon case, and it was made clear that Concubine Yi had a problem and was challenging her.

After thinking about it carefully, Concubine Yi saw that there was something else in this simple memorial.Prince Gong's visit to ask about the daily life was just a superficial reason, but actually he wanted to see the emperor's condition in person, so as to prepare for himself.Maybe he will take the opportunity to remonstrate and go back to Luan. If Shengjia really returns to Beijing, then Sushun's days of domineering will soon come to an end.

Thinking of this, she also immediately knew the result after the memorial was sent to the Military Aircraft Department.Among the military ministers in Rehe, Zaiyuan, Prince Yi, and Duanhua, Prince Zheng, Sushun's elder brother, are all Sushun's best friends; "Break the curtain military aircraft" Jiao Youying, who was promoted by Zhang Jingchao of the military aircraft to Minister of Military Aircraft, was also single-handedly selected by Sushun.In this way, didn't they all refute Prince Gong's note according to Sushun's intention?

If it was normal, it would be fine to refute such a note, but thinking of Sushun's domineering, Concubine Yi couldn't swallow this breath, and said bitterly: "Su Liu, don't be complacent!" She took the note and went See Xianfeng in Dong Nuan Pavilion.After listening to the eunuch's report, Concubine Li deliberately avoided it.Xianfeng leaned on the dragon couch, caught a glimpse of the memorial in Concubine Yi's hand at a glance, and asked hesitantly, "Whose memorial is this?"

"Master Six."

Concubine Yi only said these three words, and Xianfeng's face sank immediately.A fire rushed to his chest, and he couldn't help coughing loudly.

Concubine Yi has gradually gotten used to seeing Xianfeng's face in the past two or three years.From the initial panic to the present turning a blind eye, it is indeed after a lot of tempering, and there is a posture that the mountain will collapse in front of it without changing its color.In fact, the years when Xianfeng's body gradually collapsed were also the years when Concubine Yi's character gradually became tougher.As for Xianfeng, she has completely figured out his nature, and she no longer needs to be submissive and obedient as before, but has learned how to deal with it calmly.So the face is the face, but what should be said can't be said less.

"Your Majesty, why do you want to distribute Liu Ye's brochures? After all, Liu Ye and the Emperor are brothers, and they should come to Chengde. This way of handling, I'm afraid it will be a joke for others."

"I have my own arrangements for this, so you don't have to worry about it." Before Concubine Yi could finish speaking, Xianfeng frowned and interrupted her.But after all, he has been ill for a long time and is physically weak. He said this softly, and it sounded like he was begging for forgiveness.

An imperceptible smile floated on the corner of Concubine Yi's mouth, and her tone became more and more aggressive, "The emperor's arrangement is naturally reasonable, but brotherhood must also be considered. In my opinion, this book is suitable for the emperor's own handwriting, don't you Forget, this is from the Sixth Master!" When he said the word "Sixth Master", his tone became more serious, but he still felt that the weight was not enough, so he added another sentence: "After all, the sixth master and the fifth master, Qiye and the others have different affections."

Concubine Yi said that the fifth master and the seventh master, one is the old fifth Yicong, who was adopted by his third uncle and took the title of Prince Dun; She is the younger sister of Concubine Yi.There are also Wang Yiyi of Laobazhong County and Yiyu of Lao Jiufu County, both of whom were titled by Xianfeng. Only Yixin was the Prince Fuzheng Gong who was personally conferred by the former Emperor Daoguang Zhubi when Xianfeng succeeded to the throne.Another point is that Xianfeng lost his mother at the age of ten, and was brought up by Yixin's biological mother, Concubine Jinghuang. Therefore, when it comes to the word "love", it is of course deeper than others.

But this is also the most taboo of Xianfeng.From the dispute between Dy and heir, to the suspicion of the title, and even to the Tianzihao bank case, this Prince Gong who is as close as his younger brother gave him headaches more than once.But it's hard to say these words, it can only rot in the stomach, but Concubine Yi brought up this trouble, and what she said was reasonable, Xianfeng was really annoyed, but he couldn't say anything, so he said: "Got it, you Put it down first."

"Concubine. I picked up this booklet and waited for the emperor to come and criticize it." Concubine Yi refused to budge.

At this time, both cheeks of Xianfeng were flushed, he was out of breath from coughing, and after a while he waved his hands and said, "Kneel down!"

Concubine Yi was quite proud of her victory, raised her handkerchief as if in protest, and knelt down.Xianfeng was already so depressed that he was about to die, and was just angry, when he suddenly heard a "beep" from outside the window, followed by a crisp ping, and Concubine Yi shouted coquettishly, "Mingquan, are you trying to die?!"

The palace is always clean, especially in front of the emperor, who dares to make any noise?Scared by this, Xianfeng almost knocked over the teacup by mistake, couldn't restrain himself anymore, got up and went to the door.Ming Quan knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing, saying, "Damn you, damn you!" A glass plate smashed next to it, spilling pineapples all over the floor.

It turned out that Concubine Yi went out, and Concubine Li also came out through the small west gate by coincidence. She didn't want to touch her bad luck, so she took two quick steps.Concubine Yi watched her graceful back walk out of the door, and immediately knocked over the jar of vinegar.On this day, there was a pineapple sent by the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi.Mingquan hurriedly took the glazed plate and chased it over. He ran too fast and bumped into Concubine Yi.Concubine Yi saw the pineapples all over the ground, and her joy of victory turned into raging jealousy in an instant, she didn't care about Xianfeng, she scolded her right away.Thanks to Ming Quan, if the other eunuchs were replaced, they would not be able to keep their heads.

Ming Quan kowtowed a dozen times, because he was a close friend of Xianfeng, and Concubine Yi couldn't do anything to him, so she turned around and left angrily.But he couldn't swallow his breath, and said with a cold snort: "It's okay to do some tricks of looking for others and asking willows; and spoiling Hu Meizi, don't you look at your body, can you bear it!..."

Her voice was very low, of course Mingquan couldn't listen to her words; but Xianfeng was hiding behind the door and heard it clearly.It's fine to just talk about Concubine Li, the words "Looking for Yang and Asking Liu" are clearly talking about Yangliu Lane. Sushun went to the imperial study.

Sushun has many eyes and ears, and he had got the news from the eunuchs when he was a child. When he came to the imperial study, he saw that Xianfeng was breaking his body and getting angry.Greeted, and said in a low voice: "But Concubine Yi is being rude in front of the emperor again?"

Xianfeng nodded, wanted to say something, held back for a long time but sighed again.Originally, she was gritting her teeth and stomping her feet, preparing to throw Concubine Yi into the cold palace, but after careful consideration, she was Zai Chun, the only child's biological mother, and doing so would inevitably attract criticism from a group of ministers.If the matter of Yangliu Lane was revealed, it would be very disturbing.Thinking of this, he hesitated again.

Sushun observed the words and expressions, and knew what it meant, he took a step forward and said: "I don't know how the emperor plans to deal with it?"

"This... oh! After all, she has contributed to Sheji, and this matter is quite difficult to deal with. Forget it, forget it!"

Concubine Yi's greatest contribution is to give birth to a dragon species for Aixinjueluo.Mentioning this matter, Sushun fell into the arms of Sushun, looked left and right and the little eunuchs were standing far away in the corridor, then he fell to his knees and said: "I am risking my life to play, but I am afraid that I may offend the superior. , I beg the emperor to make the decision for this humble minister!"

Seeing his fearful look, Xianfeng wondered: "We always talk about something, so you don't have to come here. If you have any insights, come and listen."

Sushun kowtowed again, then stood up and whispered to Xianfeng: "Concubine Yi is proud of her son and has ulterior motives. The queen is loyal and kind, and Concubine Li is gentle and kind. The emperor should make plans for them."

Xianfeng laughed and said: "Su Liu, what you said is a bit hypocritical. With me in everything, what troubles can she cause?"

Sushun became more courageous when he heard him affectionately addressing him as the top ranker, and he simply said: "The emperor is naturally able to suppress the matter. But the elder brother is already six years old after the New Year, and it seems that he is too old." Yes. At that time, I'm afraid it will be difficult to make any decisions!"

Of course, Xianfeng understood the subtext of these words.After all, he still knows his illness well. If one day he really falls down, the elder brother will inherit the throne.At that time, Concubine Yi's mother was more expensive than her son, who else was her opponent in the harem?With Concubine Yi's arrogance and ambition, it is not impossible to follow the example of Lu Mingkong and take away the country.Thinking of this, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and the ancestral motto of "Ye He, the one who destroyed the state" suddenly emerged in his mind.If I really got to that point, what face would I have to meet the ancestors under the Nine Springs?

Su Shunqing knows that these words have moved Xianfeng, so he strikes while the iron is hot, telling all kinds of things wrong with Concubine Yi, and finally mentions that Concubine Yi and Yixin had a close relationship when they were in the capital, and so on.Xianfeng was extremely jealous of this. Thinking of this storm of criticism, he couldn't hold back any longer, so he followed Sushun's suggestion and demoted Concubine Yi from noble concubine to noble person by three consecutive levels.

After the imperial decree, Concubine Yi knew that there was a big trouble this time, so she cried and wiped her tears to beg the queen.But Su Shunqi was a master, and he had already urged Xianfeng to accompany the queen.Concubine Yi was in a panic, but An Dehai had an idea, and came to see Li Ran to see if he could come up with a solution.It was also very lucky that An Dehai found Xiao's mansion, and he was right behind Xianfeng.If he had come one step earlier, Xiao Ran might not be able to speak clearly even with his mouth covered.

♂ Volume 6 The rain is coming ♀

→Chapter 051 - Absolute Control←

Of course, what An Dehai said was not so detailed, but Xiao Ran had already heard the general idea.Only then did I understand why Xianfeng asked those half-spoken questions on purpose, it was to prevent himself from forming a clique with Concubine Yi.But Concubine Yi fell down, why did she doubt herself again?After thinking about it, there is only one possibility: someone planted maggots on himself in Xianfeng.Who this person is, I can't guess for a while, but the erroneous answer seems to have made Xianfeng worry.

Concubine Yi got today's fate, Xiao Ran was excited for a while, after all, this woman is a disaster for the country and the people, with her around, China will not have a good life.Thinking about it carefully, the reason why Yixin submitted the report in a hurry, and the reason why Sushun went to war with Da Da, all of these are closely related to what he did a while ago.Including the matter of Yujiao, this is the fuse.Thinking about it this way, Concubine Yi's downfall undoubtedly became the catalyst for her.This is probably the first great achievement our buddies made when they were reborn into the Qing Dynasty, right?

But after being excited, Xiao Ran suffered another headache.In fact, Concubine Yi's collapse at this time is extremely detrimental to her situation.Xianfeng doesn't have much time left to live, and it seems that he won't be able to survive this summer.If one day he returns to the throne, Sushun will be able to cover the sky with one hand in the palace. At that time, trying to fight him with his own strength is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg.What's more, without the intermediate link of Concubine Yi, the elder brother, the future little emperor, will be completely in the hands of Sushun, and this white-faced Zhongtang will naturally become Cao Cao's second. It is difficult to reach the sky.

In the next step, the desperate Yi is bound to rebel. With his strength, he may be able to compete with Sushun's pro-army and Zeng Guofan's Hunan army.But no matter who wins the battle in the end, it will undoubtedly make things worse for the fragile and precarious Qing Dynasty.At that time, not only will one's own property be lost, but how many innocent people will be sacrificed, how many lives will be destroyed, and how huge losses this catastrophe will cause, I am afraid it is difficult to calculate with simple figures.If the foreign devils took the opportunity to set up a puppet regime or something, the entire Qing Dynasty would be completely reduced to a colony, or simply divided up. No one can predict what the outcome will be.

In the current situation, no matter which side must strive for balance, it is like a dangerous domino, which is very likely to affect the whole body, and the whole body will collapse at any time, falling into a situation beyond redemption.Therefore, before the Xinyou coup, at least before Sushun was eliminated, the role of Concubine Yi was indispensable.

what to do?A series of question marks were drawn in Xiao Ran's mind, he hesitated for a while, and kept walking up and down on the ground.An Dehai said with a bitter face: "Eunuch Xiao, the sixth master is far away in the capital, master can't count on anyone for a while, only you. You should hurry up and make up your mind!"

Xiao Ran's mind was in a mess.This idea is related to one's own head, and even the fate of the entire country, how dare he be rash?The best way now is to help Concubine Yi turn over and use her energy to balance the situation.Wait until Sushun is pulled out, and then try to bring down Prince Gong.But there is a key problem here: Concubine Yi must be firmly in my hands and let her be used by me.But for a domineering, cruel master like Concubine Yi, how can she control her? ...

Control... A light suddenly flashed in front of Xiao Ran's eyes. If he wanted to control a person, what could be more effective than drugs?

heroin! ! !This bold idea popped up in an instant, and Xiao Ran was so excited that he almost cried out.That's right, use heroin to control Concubine Yi, help her gain power in the coup, and then use her to eradicate Sushun and Prince Gong!Once these two major forces are eliminated, what lies before him will be flat; and the history of the future will also be fundamentally reversed!
