Usurping the Qing Dynasty: My first love was Cixi

Chapter 113: War report to Beijing! The Emperor's critical strike!

Beijing.

If you want to say who has the most complicated emotions during this period, it must be Zhenzhen Little Princess.

Basically, since the day she had a blind date with Su Ye, she was full of expectations for her future life, especially before the imperial examination, she bravely followed her brother Huai Tabu to Su Ye's house, and was unexpectedly hugged by Su Ye.

At that time, she was so scared that after a few small talks, she ran back home. She didn't dare to stay for half a minute.

But thinking about it afterwards, it felt very sweet.

And she thought that after this hug, it must be considered a private life, and then she waited at home for Su Ye to come to propose marriage.

To be frank, during this period, she even thought about how to decorate the new house, how many children to have in the future, and what names to call them, and she thought about it several times.

As a result, Su Ye never came to propose marriage.

Until the news came that Su Ye proposed to the emperor in public at the military parade.

Princess Zhenzhen was hit hard in the heart.

She tasted the pain of a broken heart, and suddenly she felt like she was struck by lightning.

In fact, she had only met Su Ye twice, but in her spiritual world, the two of them had lived together for who knows how long.

But... after all, it was just a broken heart.

No one in this world can live without each other, and she is also a reserved girl.

Moreover, during this period, her family has begun to look for a new husband for her, but she is unwilling to meet him because she really can't calm down. After all, in her mind, she has been in love with Su Ye for a long time.

However, as soon as the news came out, the sons of the Eight Banners nobles in the entire capital flocked to her. Princess Zhenzhen's beauty and aura really made too many people like her, not only young men like her, but also their mothers like her. Such a daughter-in-law is too good.

As a result, at this time, an unexpected change occurred.

It seems that Su Ye and Boyan lost the battle for merit in the southern battlefield, and Princess Shouxi will marry Boyan.

Su Ye is out of luck.

So, Zhenzhen's heart was moved again.

But she was also a man of integrity. She couldn't just offer her hand to Princess Shouxi when Suye failed to propose to her, right?

She was also a precious girl.

But she was inevitably full of fantasies.

On one hand, she wanted face and integrity.

On the other hand, she wanted a husband.

It really made people feel at a loss.

……………………………………………

Now in the capital, the rumors about Suye have become worse and worse.

Deputy Governor Dexing'a and Weng Tongshu submitted a secret report, saying that Suye had falsely reported his achievements. He had only won two small victories, but he boasted about them as major battles.

The number of enemies killed was not as many as two or three thousand.

In order to keep his position, Tuoming'a boasted about his military exploits with Suye.

"It's not surprising at all. Didn't he do the same thing with Zeng Guofan a few years ago? He falsely reported military achievements, bought heads, and did everything he could."

"Yes, if you didn't mention this, I almost forgot that he had a history of falsely reporting military achievements."

When Su Ye was not at home, these Eight Banners nobles squeezed Chong'en and Ruilin every day.

Chong'en was not tired of it. He simply claimed to be sick and stayed at home these days and did not go to court.

Since supporting Su Ye, especially after his son Tingren followed Su Ye to the new army, he was isolated by the Eight Banners, as if he had become an enemy of the Eight Banners.

Su Ye's new army is to cut off the foundation of our Eight Banners. Are you Chong'en still messing around with him?

Do you also want to cut off the future of our Eight Banners Army?

Is it useful?

Now let's see what kind of stuff Su Ye's new army is?

At the critical moment, we still rely on our Eight Banners.

And Qingqing, the eldest princess, is completely oblivious to what's happening outside the window. Every day, she either writes or reads books.

And the whole person was in a state of happiness and joy.

Because her menstruation had not come.

Although she had not yet consulted a doctor to diagnose her pulse, she was roughly sure that she was pregnant.

She was going to have a child.

So she was immersed in joy almost all the time.

Moreover, she was full of infinite confidence in Su Ye, and in turn comforted Chong En and Su He's family many times.

………………………………………………

Prince Hui's wife celebrated her birthday, but it was not a full ten-day birthday, but a small celebration every five days, thirty-five years old.

So there was no big ceremony, just a small or medium-sized banquet.

In theory, Su Ye is now also regarded as a party of Prince Hui, so his mother Tong Jia should also go to the banquet.

But Prince Hui now just wants to sever his relationship with Su Ye, and he does not want to stand on the opposite side of the Eight Banners.

The last time the monk's wife entered the palace, it was rumored that she wanted to ask for marriage for Boyan Nemo Hu, but was blocked by Princess Shou An.

After that, she wanted to find a woman with a high generation and noble status to be a matchmaker.

Prince Hui is the uncle of the current emperor and has a high generation.

So, the monk king's wife found Prince Hui's wife, and she agreed immediately.

This made Tong Jia very angry.

Prince Hui's wife, what do you mean?

Although we were not able to curry favor with your family before, we also treated them as our own family. As a result, you became a matchmaker for your opponent?

So, on the 35th birthday of Prince Hui's wife, Tong Jia only sent gifts and did not show up.

This also caused a lot of complaints from Prince Hui's wife.

We saved your Su Ye's life. But now you don't even come to my birthday party.

Madam Ruilin went with Princess Zhenzhen.

Several women sat at the same table.

As they chatted, they couldn't help but talk about Su Ye and Boyan proposing to Princess Shouxi.

"If you ask me, Boyan Taiji and Princess Shouxi are a perfect match, a talented man and a beautiful woman. To be frank, Su Ye is a bit too ambitious."

Su Ye's aunt, Wu Ya, also liked Princess Zhenzhen very much, but her son hasn't married yet.

Zhenzhen is well-behaved, pretty, and has a good family background. It would be the best if she could marry her son.

With a turn of her eyes, Wu Ya said, "Su Ye can be considered as the nephew of our master, but this child is really hard to describe."

"When he had no status at the beginning, he was engaged to the daughter of Lord Shen Baozhen, but was later broken off."

"Then, he proposed to Princess Zhenzhen of Lord Ruilin's mansion, but was rejected."

"Now he has set his eyes on Princess Shouxi, but he still lost to Boyan Taiji. It's really a miserable life."

"As an aunt, it's not easy to say, but to be honest, he has been thinking about marrying up all day long, no wonder his marriage has not been smooth."

Then, she looked at Zhenzhen and said, "Princess Zhenzhen, do you think this is the case? Did you reject him when he proposed to you?"

All of a sudden, everyone looked at little Princess Zhenzhen.

Being stared at by so many people, and since the beginning of the banquet, this group of people have been saying that Su Ye is not good in this way or that way. Zhenzhen has been forbearing again and again, and she can't bear it anymore.

She was also angry and even hated Su Ye.

But when people said that about Su Ye, she felt uncomfortable and even angrier.

What right do you have to say that about Brother Su Ye?

As a result, now people are directly questioning her.

She couldn't help it anymore and said directly: "It's not true. Don't talk nonsense. How can I not like him? I like him very much."

After she finished speaking, all the women at the table were stunned and looked at her straight.

At this time, Zhen Zhen little princess felt that she had said something that she shouldn't have said.

It's over! I can't get married in the future.

……………………………………………………………………

In the Sanxi Hall!

The emperor once again read the secret report of De Xing'a and Weng Tongshu.

He didn't know how many times he had read it.

The content said that Tuo Ming'a and Su Ye falsely reported their military exploits.

After reading it, the emperor was extremely angry, of course, he was angry at De Xing'a and Weng Tongshu.

What do you mean? Put on eye drops at this time?

I was determined to train this new army against all odds, but you said that the new army falsely reported its military exploits?

Of course, he absolutely did not want to believe that Su Ye falsely reported his military exploits.

But he was suspicious by nature and easily deceived.

Once the seeds of doubt were planted, it would be very difficult to completely let go.

He forced himself not to think about it, but he could not help it. Not only did he have to think about it, but he also often got stuck in a dead end.

Then he remembered that Su Ye did have a history of falsely reporting military exploits.

He also remembered that at the military parade, Su Ye's new army was neat and tidy, which was indeed good-looking, but it really looked like a flower stand.

Recently, there have been rumors in the capital about Zhao Kuo who only talked about military affairs on paper.

Some people said that haste makes waste, and that the new army that had been trained for eight months had no real combat effectiveness.

So, it was really hard for people not to doubt.

After all, Boyan Nemohu's contribution was real, that is, he captured two cities.

And the so-called war reports such as how many rebels were eliminated did have room for false reporting, and there was no shortage of precedents.

Su Ye, I think so highly of you and trust you so much, I hope you won't let me down.

Even if your achievements are not as good as Boyan Nemo Hu, don't lie to me in the battle report, I will still use you.

Then, he got another news.

Prince Hui's wife went to the palace to see the queen, because of the 35-year-old Xiaoqing, the queen and Concubine Yi sent gifts.

Prince Hui's wife wanted to go to the palace to thank the emperor.

However, Prince Khorchin's wife also followed her into the palace.

The meaning couldn't be clearer, this was to be a matchmaker for Boyan Nemo Hu.

………………………………………………………

Princess Shou'an almost stared at Prince Khorchin's wife, and when she heard that she had entered the palace, she immediately followed her into the palace.

So, when the queen summoned the two wives, Princess Shou'an was also by her side.

It shouldn't have been like this, but at this time, the eyes of Khorchin's wife looking at Princess Shou'an were also full of pride.

Last time you tried to stop him, and you even went to inform Su Ye, asking him to propose to the emperor in public, trying to intercept him.

As a result, my Boyan Nemohu was very capable and made great contributions.

Your Su Ye is not ambitious and has no ability, what's the point of you, Princess Shouan, protecting him?

This time, I wonder how you can stop him?

Several people were chatting.

Then, Prince Hui's wife took the initiative to say: "We were not present during the military parade and martial arts performance that day, and we didn't see it clearly. It's a pity. The capital city was crazy about it, saying that Boyan Taiji trained the Zhenghuangqi Cavalry Battalion to be amazing, and everyone was fascinated by it that day."

Prince Korchin's wife said: "I, as a mother, didn't see it, did you, Princess Shouan, see it?"

Princess Shouan was angry, and her tone was not good, and she said: "I didn't see it either."

Prince Korchin's wife said, "That's really polite. Didn't Princess Shou'an go to Nanyuan that day?"

This is about privacy, so it's not good to go into it.

Prince Hui's wife hurriedly said, "Our prince always says in the mansion that at critical moments, we still have to rely on our own Eight Banners soldiers. Look at Boyan Taiji. He went to the southern battlefield for less than a month and made great contributions and captured two cities. He really made our ancestors proud. When our prince heard the good news, he got drunk that night."

Queen Niuhulu could only smile and nod.

But at this time, she just wanted to leave quickly.

Because she knew what was going to happen next, she really didn't want to face this situation, nor did she want to make any decisions.

Then, Prince Hui's wife said, "Queen, I have always been a nosy person. But if there is a good thing, I am still happy to do it. So I really want to be the matchmaker between Boyan Taiji and Princess Shouxi. I wonder if the Queen will give me this grace?"

Sure enough, it came again.

Princess Shouan was angry, was she so anxious?

She certainly knew what Prince Hui's Mansion was thinking. Wasn't it because they were afraid of becoming the public enemy of the Eight Banners, so they were anxious to draw a line with Su Ye?

It was just right to seize the matchmaking for Boyan to show her attitude. Otherwise, people in the whole capital were saying that Su Ye's big backer was Prince Hui.

They said that Prince Hui, Ruilin, Chongen, and Su Ye were in the same party.

Prince Hui Mianyu was conservative and didn't want to be labeled like this.

And being a matchmaker now can show her attitude even more. Otherwise, if she comes to be a matchmaker after the emperor grants the marriage, then this team will not be very obvious.

It can only be said that Su Ye's training of the new army is really too harmful to the interests of the Eight Banners, so everyone has to stand on the side.

Princess Shouan glanced at the Queen, knowing that she couldn't stop it, and said directly: "Shouldn't the Emperor issue an order for this matter? Besides, is it necessary to be so anxious? The war in the south has not ended yet, and Boyan Taiji has not returned to Beijing."

Prince Hui's wife said: "Why not be anxious? Boyan Taiji is not young anymore. He worked hard for the Qing Dynasty in the front and made such great contributions. It is reasonable for us to worry about his lifelong affairs."

Then, Prince Hui's wife said: "Although you are Princess Shouxi's sister, the Emperor and the Queen have the final say on this matter."

This sentence is quite impolite.

…………………………………………………………

Princess Shouan was indeed a little unstoppable.

She found Princess Shouxi again, stared at her exquisite and beautiful face, and suddenly said something.

"Sixth sister, what if you suddenly contracted smallpox?"

Princess Shouxi jumped up and said, "Fourth sister, am I still your real sister? Would you go to this extent for an adulterer?"

Princess Shouan said, "What adulterer? Don't talk nonsense. Don't worry, she didn't really contract smallpox. She just had a few rashes on her face and told people that she might have contracted smallpox."

After she finished speaking, she shook her head and thought it was impossible.

This idea was too absurd and impossible.

The wife of Prince Hui was just about to be a matchmaker, and Princess Shouxi was about to be betrothed to Boyan, but you contracted smallpox?

This is going to offend people to death.

And it also completely lost the dignity of the royal family.

Princess Shouxi suddenly said seriously: "Fourth sister, you really tried your best. Your man is useless, so it's not your fault."

Princess Shouan said: "You are the one who wants to get married, why do you have an attitude of indifference?"

Princess Shouxi said: "I have said it long ago, I don't want to marry Suye, and I don't want to marry Boyan even more!"

………………………………………………

That night, the queen told the emperor about this matter.

Of course, the emperor knew why Prince Hui was so anxious.

He just wanted to take the opportunity to express his support for the Eight Banners, so that everyone would not say that Suye was a member of Prince Hui's party.

A light sigh.

He knew in his heart that this matter could not be stopped.

The first time Prince Khorchin's wife entered the palace, she vaguely mentioned this topic, but was blocked by Princess Shouan.

If he pretended not to know this time, he would completely offend Prince Khorchin.

The Mongolian cavalry in Senggelinqin's hands was almost the most powerful armed force in the hands of the emperor.

In a few days, he will find a good day and issue an edict to grant the marriage.

Su Ye, it's not that I don't give you a chance.

But there is no way, who let Boyan have the merit of capturing the city?

…………………………………………

The emperor's edict of granting marriage has not been issued yet, and many women outside have taken the opportunity to go to the Korchin Palace to curry favor.

"Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations, Madam."

"In decades, the most beautiful and noble princess is about to marry into your family."

"Decades ago, the third princess of Emperor Renzong married into the Korchin Palace, and now the sixth princess is going to marry into your family. It's really a great blessing."

"This is also a great blessing for Princess Shouxi! Boyan Taiji is a young hero, and he is really the best man in the world."

It can only be said that there are no secrets in the capital. When Prince Hui's wife entered the palace, everyone knew that this matter was set in stone.

However...

At this time, it was still in the court.

At this time, there was a court meeting, and the emperor was also hesitating. Should he take the opportunity to issue a decree to marry him today? Or should we wait for a better day in a few days?

"Six hundred miles to expedite, six hundred miles to expedite!"

A familiar voice came again.

Everyone, including the emperor, couldn't help but be stunned.

Is there another great victory in the southern battlefield?

Every time I heard about the six hundred miles expedited before, it was a defeat.

And in the past month, there have been three consecutive 600-mile rushes, all of which were good news.

Therefore, the emperor and courtiers also changed their mentality and couldn't help but look forward to this six-hundred-mile express.

And this messenger was the first wave of messengers sent by Jiangbei Camp coach Tuo Ming'a.

Ordinarily, the battle report of the defeat should not be read out in court.

However, before the trip, Master Tomina repeatedly said that it must be read loudly so that everyone can hear it.

And he was given enough money in advance, so he went for it.

So, the messenger gritted his teeth, gritted his teeth, and shouted loudly: "Boyan Namohu was defeated. In one day, he lost two cities, Liuhe and Xincheng, lost troops and generals, and almost destroyed the entire army."

After shouting, the messenger almost collapsed to the ground, he was so scared.

After he finished shouting, the entire court was completely stunned.

The emperor was also stunned.

What? !

Lost?

And it was a huge defeat?

Lost two cities in one day?

The Zhenghuang Banner Xiaoqi Cavalry led by Boyan was... almost completely destroyed?

This, how is this possible? Didn't you play well before?

In just three days, four to five thousand Fa Ni were wiped out and two cities were captured.

How come he was completely defeated in one day?

The entire civil and military ministers in the court were almost stunned.

During this time, the entire Eight Banners nobles were celebrating, feeling that Boyan had won glory for them.

They directly forced Chong En to say that he was sick at home, and forced Ruilin to dare not say a word.

Now, you actually say that Boyan has failed?

"Your Majesty, this is the head coach of Jiangbei Camp, Tomin Ami!"

The messenger held the box high.

The emperor didn't respond for a long time.

Eunuch Zenglu stepped forward and took the box, then glanced at the emperor and whispered: "Your Majesty?"

The emperor finally came to his senses and said: "Open it!"

Eunuch Zenglu opened the wax seal, took out the secret note inside, checked it carefully several times, and then handed it to the emperor.

The emperor finally read Tomina's secret memorial several times.

Then, the whole person was shaking.

In this secret memorial, Tuominga poured out thousands of words, all of which were accusing Boyannamohu.

It is said that when Fa Ni's army attacked his camp in Shaobo Town, Boyan refused to save him. Instead, he took a detour behind Fa Ni and captured two empty cities.

There are only rebellious female soldiers in Liuhe, and they are less than two hundred.

There is no defender in the new city, only a mere three hundred rebel servants.

Moreover, they captured two empty cities in one day. However, in order to show his great achievements and to show that he only captured the two cities after a hard battle, Boyan falsely claimed that he captured the new city after three days.

The so-called elimination of four or five thousand rebels is nothing more than a false report of military achievements.

In addition, after Boyan captured the two empty cities, he immediately contacted Xiang Rong, the commander of the Jiangnan camp, and asked him to send 9,000 troops to Du Jiang north to guard the two cities.

The strength of the Jiangnan camp was already insufficient, and now nine thousand soldiers and horses were sent north, making the strength even more empty.

Rebellious Yang Xiuqing seized the opportunity and directly launched a war, sending tens of thousands of troops to attack the Jiangnan camp.

At this point, the Jiangnan camp was in danger.

Not only that, Tomin'a also wrote clearly how Boyan was defeated, how he lost the city, how he fought with the rebel cavalry, and how he was completely defeated.

Well!

In fact, he didn't see it at all. He made it up based on the confessions of Taiping prisoners.

However, the gap from the reality is not very big.

In short, Boyan's capture of the two cities was purely speculation.

Boyan wiped out thousands of rebels, which was all a boast of his military exploits, but nothing more.

If the Jiangnan camp is lost, Boyan will bear a heavy responsibility.

This secret memorial was too subversive for the emperor.

He didn't want to believe that Su Yi had falsely reported his military exploits.

Now that Boyan was falsely claiming his military exploits, he was even more unwilling to believe it.

In the martial arts hall that day, everyone could clearly see how brave and elite Boyan led the Xiaoqi battalion. The emperor still vividly remembers it.

How could it be so unbearable?

Another power struggle?

Previously, Weng Tongshu and Dexing Ami reported that Su Yi had falsely reported military exploits.

Now Tomin'a said that Boyan falsely claimed his military exploits.

But... one thing may be certain, Liuhe and Xincheng are probably really lost.

But...is there another reason? Is it related to the battle situation in the Jiangbei and Jiangnan camps?

Next, Prince Hui Mianyu said: "Your Majesty, what's wrong?"

The emperor said: "See for yourself."

Eunuch Zenglu handed Tominga's secret memorial to Mianyu, and Mianyu was shocked after reading it.

Duan Hua, Zai Yuan and others took it over and looked at it, and were also greatly surprised.

Mian Yu said: "Your Majesty, Boyan's cavalry battalion is brave and good at fighting. Everyone could clearly see the martial arts performance ceremony that day. How could it be so miserable as Tuoming Ami said in his memorial? There is a hidden secret in this. There must be something hidden in it. Power struggles."

As soon as Prince Hui said this, the civil and military ministers present all said, "Yes, there must be some power here. Please send an imperial minister to investigate clearly."

"Bo Yan's cavalry battalion is brave and good at fighting. It will never be like this."

Investigate, investigate, investigate!

We must investigate thoroughly!

We must investigate not only Boyan, but also Su Ye's military exploits.

We must not only send someone to investigate, but also send an upright person to investigate to ensure that there will be no partiality.

We must be able to find out the truth clearly.

The emperor said: "Who is willing to be the imperial envoy and go to the battlefield in Jiangsu to thoroughly investigate this matter."

The whole audience was silent.

That's a battlefield, too dangerous.

After a while, Weiren stepped out and said: "Your Majesty, I am willing to go!"

When this person came out, everyone looked at him sideways.

It has to be you.

It's simply the perfect candidate.

The emperor agreed immediately, because this person is extremely upright and will not favor any party.

"Then I'll trouble you to go to Yangzhou and investigate the matter thoroughly. No matter who is involved, I just want the truth!"

Weiren said: "I obey your order!"

That night, Weiren took a team of guards and a 200-man imperial guard to Tongzhou, and then sailed south to Yangzhou Prefecture.

Weiren had already made up his mind to investigate thoroughly, even if he falsely reported a hundred military exploits!

No one can hide from his eyes, not Boyan, not Su Ye.

Su Ye, I appreciate your article very much, I hope you don't let me down.

…………………………………………………………

Obviously, the attack on the emperor and even the entire court is still not over.

Next!

Another urgent report of 600 miles came.

This is even worse news.

Jierhang'a, the governor of Jiangsu, died in battle!

The Jiangnan camp is in danger.

The emperor's eyes went dark after hearing this battle report.

Jierhang'a, it's very important.

As the governor of Jiangsu, he had made great contributions, that is, he suppressed the uprising of the Small Sword Society.

Admittedly, he failed to attack Zhenjiang, but his aggressiveness and initiative to fight left a deep impression on the emperor.

Among the many frontier officials, Jierhang'a was not only a rare warrior, but also a member of his own family.

In the battle report, what was even more glaring was another few words: Jiangnan Camp is in danger.

The Jiangbei Camp has been broken, and the main city of Yangzhou has been lost.

Now the two small cities of Liuhe and Xincheng have also been lost.

It was originally huge bad news.

Now... Jiangnan Camp is also in danger? And this battle report seems to further confirm Tuomin'a's accusation against Boyan.

What can we do?

However, this critical attack is obviously not over.

Only one day later, another 600-li expedited report was sent to Beijing!

And this battle report was even more shocking.

Even horrified.

The counterattack broke through the Jiangnan Camp.

The army of Jiangnan Camp was defeated and fled!

The whole court was shocked.

This... This is almost the biggest defeat!

Jiangnan Camp was broken! !

From then on, there was no way to stop the rebellion in Tianjing.

The court's largest armed force and largest defensive position in the southern battlefield were completely gone.

This... was the worst news.

After hearing this battle report, the emperor fell into autism again.

He once again stood up without saying a word and left the court directly.

He even had no energy to roar.

He once again came to the ancestral tablet silently, in pain and speechless.

The whole court was completely quiet.

The whole capital was full of discussions.

Jiangbei Camp was broken, and Jiangnan Camp was also broken.

Is it impossible to stop the rebellion?

Is the southern half of the country going to be over?

For the emperor, for the court.

The dark moment officially fell.

As for Su Ye's new army, it was almost completely forgotten.

The Jiangnan camp had more troops and stronger fighting power, but they were all defeated and broken.

There was no hope for the battle in Jiangbei.

What kind of storm could Su Ye's more than 1,000 new troops stir up? I'm afraid I don't know what the end will be, and I don't know where they will hide.

In fact, Tuo Ming'a and Su Ye didn't know that the battle report of the Jiangnan camp would be so coordinated.

At this dark moment.

How precious would Su Ye's victory in capturing Yangzhou be?

How dazzling?

At this time, the battle report of Su Ye's great victory in Yangzhou had already arrived in Tongzhou.

…………………………

Note: The first update is here, I'm going to sleep, thank you for your monthly tickets, please.
