I can't die

Jiao Youying was single-handedly selected by Sushun, and he can be regarded as the Sushun party among the eight ministers who are responsible for life.Although the Eight Ministers of Gu Ming were unanimous when facing Cixi Ci'an, they were not without conflicts of rights among themselves.Now that Jiao Youying has become the emperor's teacher and has removed the power of the Military Aircraft Department, this Jiao Youying's original position has become a sweet nest in the eyes of the other seven ministers.

Before Jiao Youying returned to his place outside the Chengde Mountain Resort, the palace's orders came down very quickly.As Jiao Youying's eldest son, Jiao Hesheng accepted the order for his father, and the entire Jiao family exploded.

The Jiao family was born in a Han nationality, and their current prominent status was entirely supported by Jiao Youying. Now that Jiao Youying was exempted from traveling in the military plane and changed to be an imperial teacher, the whole family immediately couldn't eat well.

Jiao Youying returned to his mansion in Rehe, when his son Jiao Hesheng saw his father, he immediately greeted him and asked anxiously, "Father, is there something wrong in this palace?"

Jiao Youying can be an extremely human minister, so he is not a reckless person, so he waved his hands and did not want to say anything, and led his son into the study, the servants saw this, and naturally protected the study with a tacit understanding , it can be seen that the Jiao family's family education is strict.

"Have you seen the imperial decree?"

Jiao Youying walked to the desk, sat down on the chair of the yellow pear wood carved crane, picked up a cup of tea, and sipped it.

"Yes, father, the purpose is to come this afternoon."

Jiao Hesheng stood in front of the desk, seeing that his father didn't seem too anxious, and felt relieved.

"What do you think? Do you also feel that you have lost power for your father?"

Although the emperor's teacher is noble, but now who knows that the emperor is only six years old, Jiao Youying has now been deprived of his post in the military aircraft department, and his rights are naturally greatly reduced.

"The boy is worried that his father will become the abandoned son of the empress dowagers of the two palaces fighting with Sushun and the others. That's why he lost his position."

Listening to his son's words, Jiao Youying gently buttoned the lid and put down the teacup in his hand.

"Then who do you think Sushun and the Empress Dowagers will win?"

What this sentence asks is a bit outrageous, but it is something that everyone in the ruling and opposition parties are anxious about.Needless to say, those who have already stood in line, why don't those who are still on the sidelines want to know the result so that they can deal with it?

"Now that Su Zhongtang and others hold the military power, and the prime minister has the national administrative power, I'm afraid there is a [-]% chance of winning."

"Seventy percent?"

Hearing this, Jiao Youying twirled his beard and smiled: "Seventy percent is not ten percent, as long as it is not ten percent, there is a possibility of losing."

Jiao Hesheng was shocked instantly: "Why did father say such a thing? Could it be that there has been a change in the court?"

Jiao Youying sighed slightly: "At first, as a father, I also thought that we would definitely win, but now that I think about it, I feel that there is something strange everywhere."

"Strange?"

"Today, Dong Yuanchun played the concert, asking the two palaces to hang the curtain. Although it was refuted by Minister Gu Ming, what my father wondered was that the empress dowagers of the two palaces knew our strength, so how could they dare to tell Dong Yuanchun to do this? , Then how did Dong Yuanchun know the mind of the Empress Dowager of the Two Palaces, and came up with such a trick?"

"Father is worried about the forces in Beijing—Prince Gong has already linked up with the Queen Mothers of the Two Palaces?" Jiao Hesheng was also shocked.

Jiao Youying looked at his son, then shook his head again: "If it's just that, it's fine. Although Prince Gong has an extraordinary clan power behind him, he has no military power after all. What I'm worried about is..."

"Are there any changes in the military?"

As soon as these words came out, Jiao Hesheng looked at his father in disbelief.But I heard Jiao Youying continue to say: "Although the eight ministers hold the military power of the infantry imperial army, the military power of each prefecture is still out of control. It’s hard to tell if you’re afraid.”

"It should not be possible. Although the total strength of the various governments is greater than that of the imperial army, firstly, it will take time for each government to deploy troops, and secondly, the emperor is still under the control of Chengde, so I am afraid it will not be that easy."

Jiao Hesheng's words are not unreasonable, not to mention Hong Xiuquan's rebellion in the south of the Qing Dynasty, there are not many troops that can be mobilized, let alone such a big matter of drawing troops from various places, the eight ministers have their eyes and ears all over the court, how could they not know?

"You, you still see too little."

Listening to his son's words, Jiao Youying sighed deeply.

"For my father to become the emperor's teacher this time, it can be regarded as temporarily leaving the center of the vortex. Don't care about others, you go to the capital once overnight, and give my father's greetings to Zeng Jize, the son of the governor of Liangjiang."

Speaking of Zeng Jize, not many people may know, but his father, Zeng Guofan, is probably a household name.Zeng Guofan is now at a time when he is in a high position. He is the Minister of the Ministry of War and the governor of Liangjiang. In the capital.This can be regarded as an unspoken rule for the leaders of the Qing Dynasty when they were outside. When the generals went out to fight, they must have their wives detained in Beijing to prevent mutiny.

"What does father mean?"

"If you plan early, you can get out of the body."

Not to mention Jiao Youying's various thoughts after returning to the mansion, but it is said that not many people in the entire Chengde Palace can fall asleep today.The empress dowagers of the two palaces are thinking about Jiao Youying's gains and losses after becoming the emperor's teacher. Isn't Zai Chun the same?

Jiao Youying's departure from the Military Aircraft Department will inevitably lead to a series of political changes. Sushun will definitely not be reconciled to his own people's power in the Military Aircraft Department being greatly reduced, and Zai Heng Duanhua and others will definitely try their best to push their own people to the top.

It is said that a dog bites a dog, no matter who is in power in the end, anyway, there will be a lot of filth among the eight life-saving ministers at this moment.

"Go back to the emperor, Aunt Fang is dead."

At this moment, Li Lianying quietly walked into the East Nuan Pavilion of Yanbo Zhishuang Palace.

As for slaves working in the palace, they must have rules even when they walk. They cannot make a sound when walking, cannot stand up straight, and cannot raise their heads when speaking. in a line.

"How did you die?"

Zai Chun closed his eyes slightly, and asked for a while.

"I heard from the errand in Songhezhai that he broke the beloved hairpin of the empress dowager. He was punished by the stick, but he couldn't bear it, so he went."

Although Zai Chun knew that Aunt Fang must die, but when he really heard the news at this moment, he still couldn't stop feeling sad.

"Where's the corpse?"

"It's stopping at the Bianjiao Pavilion. Because Aunt Fang served the emperor before, how to deal with it requires the emperor to speak."

Although Aunt Fang is a dead servant, Empress Dowager Ci'an, as the concubine mother, has an overview of all matters in the harem, and she does have the right to dispose of her in name, but after all, Aunt Fang's immediate master is the emperor, but just ask Zai Chun, Discord in etiquette.This is the reason why beating a dog depends on the owner.

Zai Chunxin sighed silently, "Look for some paper money, I'll give it to her."

"Your Majesty, this bloody piece..."

"Don't worry, you just do it."

Li Lianying could hear the firmness in Zai Chun's words, and knew that she couldn't be persuaded, so she had to make it so.

Li Lianying found some paper money, and quietly called five or six young eunuchs to follow Zaichun to the Bianjiao Pavilion.Because of Aunt Fang's disgraceful death, it's not a good thing for the master to go to see the corpse of a servant, so not many people were alarmed.

Although Bianjiao Pavilion is also called "Pavilion", it is actually an inconspicuous small house in the southeast of the Mountain Resort. Its status is similar to that of the Leng Palace in the Forbidden City. It got this name because it is located in a corner.Zai Chun and his party quietly left Yanbo Zhishuang Palace, all the way to the west, passed through the palace area with carved beams and painted buildings, and arrived at Silver Lake, and the Bianjiao Pavilion is on the east side of Silver Lake.

Walking to the edge of the Silver Lake, Zai Chun looked around, only to see that the entire Silver Lake was shimmering under the night, reflecting the bright moonlight all over the sky, making it look extraordinarily beautiful.Palace lanterns have already been lit on the waterside pavilions on the Silver Lake, just like a heavenly palace.

only. . .

"Aying, look at that, how do you feel there is someone there?"

Zai Chun's eyes suddenly focused, and he saw a figure floating in the waterside pavilion where he usually likes to feed fish most. It looked like a female ghost, so scary.

When Li Lianying heard Zai Chun's words, she also looked quickly, and she really saw a woman dressed as a palace official, who seemed to be hung on the beam of the waterside pavilion, her eyes were wide open, her mouth was open, like a female ghost.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty... that seems to be a female ghost."

Although Li Lianying was serious, she was a 12-year-old child after all, and she was so frightened that she couldn't speak easily.

female ghost? !

Zai Chun's two dynasties together are nearly thirty people, and this is the first time he has actually seen such a thing, and it was still in his own palace.

"Go! Go and have a look! I want to see if it's a human or a ghost!"

It's a joke, Zai Chun has become a prince since he traveled through time, and he is the one dancing on the tip of a knife between the imperial court and the harem.Besides, he died once, the hell? !He is really not afraid of this kind of thing.
