I can't die

To say that Li Huaihua was able to go from a small soldier to an important city guard like Gubeikou, and now he can be transferred to Beijing with the escort of Prince Jin because of the Xinyou coup, which is considered a great piece of shit luck .

Why doesn't Li Huaihua think so?He only felt that the road to Qingyun was already in front of him, but only when he really entered Beijing, he realized that this was not the case.

Although his official position was promoted, he only got an empty title of head of the Ministry of War, from a sixth-rank official. Although he was much better than his original eighth-rank city guard, his real power was not as good.I have nothing to do in the Ministry of War every day, and I can't reuse it. I just eat and wait to die.

Unexpectedly, one day, with Jiao Huaisheng's visit, another major change took place in this person's fate.

Let's say that Jiao Huaisheng was instructed by Zaichun to visit Li Huaihua's mansion with 5000 taels of silver.

Li Huaihua was sitting at home that day, and he felt strange when he heard someone visiting. This was the first time someone came to his door when he came to Beijing. Out of curiosity, he invited someone in without asking any questions.

Jiao Huaisheng entered Li Huaihua's residence, without saying anything, he handed over the 5000 taels of silver to Li Huaihua.Li Huaihua used to be just a small city guard, but he had never seen so much money before, his eyes were straightened.

"this..?"

Li Huaihua just couldn't believe it, the money was too much, even a bit hot.

Seeing the way Li Huaihua looked at the banknote, Jiao Huaisheng knew that things were exactly as Zai Chun had expected, so he quickly imitated Zai Chun's words and said them to Li Huaihua.When Li Huaihua heard that he was actually a member of the Eight Ministers, his heart broke out in a cold sweat.Who doesn't know that now is the time when the rumors are turbulent, how dare they get more contaminated, and hurriedly ask the servants to rush Jiao Huaisheng out.

Seeing that Jiao Huaisheng was not in a hurry, he continued to say: "Lord Li, don't be in a hurry, the minister came here this time because of His Majesty's intention." At that moment, Zai Chun was brought out again, and Jiao Youying was named as the Majesty's teacher. The Holy Majesty has a lot of connections, if Jiao Youying can be rescued, the Emperor will be happy to betray him.

Li Huaihua was skeptical when he heard it, but he hesitated when he remembered that Jiao Youying seemed to be the emperor's teacher.It's just that I was a little afraid that there was still a queen mother in the palace, so I just said, "I have accepted the money, and I have to look at the others."

Jiao Huaisheng watched Li Huaihua accept the bank note, and knew that the matter was more than half done, so he didn't want to stay any longer. After thanking Li Huaihua, he followed Li's servants and quietly walked out from the corner gate.

Li Huaihua looked at the 5000 taels of windfall, both happy and suspicious.After a night, I was going to work at the Ministry of War.Then a colleague uncharacteristically came up to congratulate him and said: "Master Li, Sir Minister is here to invite you."

Now that Zeng Guofan, Minister of the Ministry of War, is not in the army, isn't the Ministry of War just the voice of the Minister of War?As for the servant, it is Zaichun's confidant, Guarjia Shengbao.

Li Huaihua never thought that his little principal could be summoned by the servant, and he was overjoyed, so he hurriedly left.

Seeing Shengbao, although Shengbao is an expensive servant, he didn't show off to Li Huaihua at all. Instead, he said with a smile: "Master Li, the future is boundless. There is still a vacancy for a foreigner in the ministry. Mingwu will invite the empress dowager to come back." Just wait for the news."

Shengbao's words came suddenly, and they seemed to have no beginning or end, but it was a good thing after all, just like a pie falling from the sky.

Hearing Shengbao's words, Li Huaihua felt ecstatic. He never expected that he would be treated so courteously by the servant the next day. He pinched his thigh fiercely and realized that it was not a dream.

He recalled what Jiao Hesheng said yesterday, never expected that it was exactly as Jiao Huaisheng said, as soon as he accepted the money, his official position would be promoted.In the end, he was no longer confused, and decided to find an opportunity to have a good talk with An Dehai about this matter.After all, the meaning of the emperor is also in it.

Inside the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Just after Guerjia Shengbao met with Li Huaihua, he hurriedly handed the sign to the palace and walked towards the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Zai Chun finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the news.It seems that this Li Huaihua is quite smart.

"Li Huaihua has gone?"

"Back to the emperor, the servants in the servant's mansion have quietly followed Li Huaihua, saying that as soon as he leaves the military department, he will go to An Dehai's mansion outside the Forbidden City."

To say that An Dehai has been with Cixi for so many years, he has really benefited a lot, as Zai Chun knows that he has three mansions outside the palace, he is really Cixi's caring person.

"That's good. With you holding the military power in the court, if Mr. Jiao can escape this catastrophe and resume his recovery with strong civil and military capabilities, then he will be considered complete."

This is why Zai Chun tried his best to keep Jiao Youying.Although the eight ministers said that they had been convicted and imprisoned by Cixi Ci'an and Prince Gong, the centipede was dead but not stiff.If you want to eradicate all the eight ministers' henchmen, besides beheading the leader, how can you kill those who are hiding in small corners in a short while?

At the beginning, when Zai Chun moved Jiao Youying out of the military plane and became the emperor's teacher, he had an idea.For one thing, Jiao Youying's departure from the military plane can greatly attack the power of the eight ministers at that time, and at the same time, it can also show goodwill to Jiao Youying and other Sushuns behind, and paralyze the vigilance of the enemy. Second, it is for today.Jiao Youying was no longer at the military plane when he was questioned. Moreover, his status as an emperor teacher is quite maneuverable. If Jiao Youying can recover one day, those people who used to be attached to the eight ministers will definitely belong to him.Zaichun rescued the Jiao family, he was kind to the Jiao family, and taking over the Jiao family was equivalent to taking together the remnants of the eight ministers.

Guarjia Shengbao listened to the meaning revealed in Zai Chun's words, and was delighted that Zai Chun wanted to train him as a confidant and power minister.But when I thought about it carefully, I was a little surprised.The emperor is only 6 years old, far from the age of taking office, so he is in a hurry to win over the military power and win over the civil servants. With such means, is he deliberately trying to guard against someone?

Shengbao couldn't help but think of the memorial that Dong Yuanchun played before. "The two palaces hang curtains, and the prince assists the government."

Could it be that the emperor is already dissatisfied with the queen mother and relatives?

As soon as this idea came up, Sheng Bao felt cold sweat in his heart.In the Han Dynasty there was Emperor Lu Zhihui, and in the Tang Dynasty there was Emperor Wuzhao Zhongzong (Wu Zetian and Li Xian). Such matters of royal mother-child rights have existed since ancient times. . . ?

The more Sheng Bao thought about it, the more complicated he became. Of course, Zai Chun was not a god after all, so he couldn't have guessed it.But seeing Zaichun take out something at once, he asked Li Lianying beside him to pass it to Shengbao.

"This is an imperial decree, but there is only a 'Tongdao Seal' and no 'Imperial Reward' on it. Tell me, what should I do?"

Shengbao took over the imperial decree, without Zaichun's decree, he didn't dare to open it face to face, but his hands couldn't help shaking.

"According to common sense, if there is a jade seal, it must be issued to six more departments from the military aircraft department. Now the military aircraft department is empty because of the eight ministers. There is a precedent in my dynasty, and it can be issued directly by various ministries. If it is an urgent military matter, there are priorities. , you can suspend the notification to the Queen Mother."

What Zaichun wanted was Shengbao's attitude, and he immediately smiled.

"That's good. You send this memorial directly from the Ministry of War and hand it over to Zeng Guofan, the governor of Liangjiang. I'll tell the queen mothers later."
