Usurping the Qing Dynasty: My first love was Cixi

Chapter 132 Su Yi forced! Zeng Guofan resigned!

Look at Zeng Guofan's greeting card, it's very formal.

Send me a greeting card and ask if you have time tomorrow?

If it is convenient, he will visit Su He personally.

Yes, it's Su He.

Not Su Yi.

Su He was the elder in the family, and when Zeng Guofan wanted to kill Su Yi, Su Quan went to plead for mercy. Zeng Guofan refused, and said that after killing Su Yi, he would personally plead guilty to Su He when he returned to Beijing.

Now I have responded, which can be regarded as saving my face.

There was a time when Zeng Guofan was made into half a saint. Especially in his letters to his family, he repeatedly advised his family members to be tolerant and tolerant. There was also a famous allusion, "What's the point of being three feet tall?"

However, in fact, this person's character is very stubborn and not broad-minded at all.

In the early days, things were extreme, and in the later stages, things were smooth.

Go to the left and dare not rebel against the Qing Dynasty.

Do you think he has ever had such thoughts? He must have.

But he still didn't dare to do it.

To the right, his loyalty to the emperor and patriotism are out of the question.

Otherwise, there would be no Zhang Wenxiang horse stabbing case.

Of course, we cannot look at it from a historical perspective. Zeng Guofan made such a choice at that time to maximize his own interests and the interests of his own group.

Although there are mixed reviews, this person can definitely be regarded as an outstanding person of his generation.

However, it is far from great.

…………………………………………

Su Yi's home began to make various preparations to welcome Zeng Guofan's visit tomorrow.

The entire capital, the middle and high-level officials of the imperial court, were also paying attention to this visit.

First of all, of course there is definitely an element of fun.

But many people really want to see what the outcome of the two people's talks will be.

For Du Han and others, what is even more curious is what does Su Yi want?

Do you really just want to take a breath?

Or there are other political considerations.

At around eight o'clock in the evening, a figure secretly entered Su Yi's backyard.

"Princess Shou'an invites you."

"It's business."

Why add the last sentence? It's too much to say.

It’s like I’ve done bad things every time I’ve gone to see him.

There were too many eyes staring at Su Yi at this time, so he was very careful and put on enough disguise before leaving home and heading to Princess Shou'an's mansion.

Still in the study, Princess Shou'an has made tea and is waiting for him.

As soon as Su Yi came, he took a sip of tea and then put it into Princess Shou'an's mouth.

Then, he inserted his hand very skillfully.

As long as he holds the position, he will not relax.

Just like playing a game archive, every time you open a new game, you have to start here.

"I have something serious to discuss with you today." Princess Shou'an said, "Bring your hands out to me."

Su Yi said: "This can be discussed."

Princess Shou'an struggled for a long time, but she couldn't let go, so she let him go.

"One day, I will be tortured by you and my reputation will be ruined." Princess Shou'an said: "When that day comes, I won't resist anything, just eat it and die."

"It's like this every time, with a lot of harsh words." Su Yi said, "If you don't want to touch me, I won't touch you."

Then, he withdrew his hand and sat back on the opposite side.

Princess Shou'an wanted to straighten her clothes, but Su Yi refused and instead opened her collar.

Most of the snow-capped mountains and condensed hills are exposed to the outside.

The ravine is bottomless.

This is just right.

"This is also my bottom line." Su Yi said: "My hands and eyes must always have something to enjoy."

Princess Shou'an rolled her eyes at him and said, "Just do this to me."

Where did this go? Qingqing was in the room. It was much more than this, but she was content with it.

Then, Princess Shou'an said seriously: "Xiaoyi, there are some things that are inconvenient for the Emperor to say, so I entrusted me to tell you tactfully."

Su Yi said: "Did he say it clearly?"

Princess Shou'an said: "It's not stated clearly, but I can understand what he meant. Originally it was your future wife-in-law who should tell you, but that child doesn't know what to think about all day long, and doesn't like to deal with these things."

A person who specializes in hiding in a closet to catch her fiancé having an affair with her sister. Who knows what is going on in her mind.

Princess Shou'an said: "The emperor's intention is that now the imperial court relies on the Hunan Army, and Jiangxi still relies on the Hunan Army to fight, so you can stop it. After Zeng Guofan gives in a little, you can give him a step down. The emperor is in a very urgent mood. You don’t want to do anything bad.”

One of Emperor Xianfeng's character traits was impatience.

No matter who it is, it’s all urging.

After the whole territory of Hubei was recovered here, he wished that the Hunan army would immediately go south and recover all of Jiangxi within two or three months.

Then immediately go to fight Anqing, and then go to fight Tianjing.

Within two or three years, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was completely pacified.

Princess Shou'an said: "Xiaoyi, what do you think? Do you really just want to vent your anger?"

Su Yi said: "What do you think? Based on your understanding of me?"

Princess Shou'an said: "I am not anyone like you, how can we talk about understanding you?"

Su Yi said: "I just measured it not long ago, but I don't understand anything."

"Bah!" Princess Shou'an said: "Shameless, don't mention it again. After that night, I regretted it so much that I wanted to chop my hands off. I didn't expect that I would do such a shameless thing and kill my ancestors." My face has been so humiliated that I will never do it again.”

Su Yi said: "Where, where? You are inheriting the legacy of your ancestors by following the order."

Princess Shou'an couldn't help but stretched out her hand and pinched Su Yi's mouth and said, "You dare to say anything even if you are going to die. You still want to be Dorgon."

Of course she knew that Su Yi was referring to the old affairs between Bulbutai and Dorgon.

Su Yi grabbed her and sat on his lap, face to face.

And put his hand on the full moon position under her waist.

The heavy feeling is so beautiful.

The big family was beaten, and Princess Shou'an did not dare to move.

At this time, the more I struggle, the crazier I get.

Especially at her age, and she hasn't experienced anything like that for a long time.

"Don't mess around, keep talking about business. If you mess around, I will really turn around and leave tomorrow, go directly back to Mongolia, and never see you again." Princess Shou'an said fiercely.

Then, she said gently: "If you have any ideas, tell me so that I can help you."

Su Yi said: "I'm not trying to vent my anger, nor am I raising my tail. I'm serious. I want to take over Jiangxi."

Princess Shou'an said: "That is too difficult and impossible. You have never even been a magistrate. How can you become a frontier official?"

Su Yi said: "That's why it's challenging, and Zeng Guofan has such a fiery temperament that I can take advantage of him."

Princess Shou'an said: "You said before that you would set up a factory in Jiujiang."

Su Yi said: "Yes."

Princess Shou'an said: "Is it really that important?"

Su Yi said: "You have given me your life's savings, how can it not be important?"

Princess Shou'an said: "We women are different. We can do anything when our brains are hot. I actually treat this million taels of silver as dog feed."

Su Yi said: "Then just think of it as feeding a dog and let me eat it. Don't hang me up every day."

Princess Shou'an said: "Brother Su Yi, who is hanging on to whom among us? Don't you have any idea in your mind?"

Su Yi said: "Okay, I won't hang you up anymore."

Su Yi used both hands as hard as if she were holding a baby in a cradle.

"I gave my life to you, I gave it to you..."

Shou'an was half crying, like a bird in the wind, flapping constantly.

…………………………………………

Half an hour later.

"The Emperor is affectionate, but..." Princess Shou'an did not finish her words, but the meaning was self-evident.

What you said is wrong.

The emperor is your brother, and Su Yi is just an adulterer at best.

Your position is a bit biased.

"How can I help you here?" Princess Shou'an said softly: "I really don't have any more money, but I still have one more life to save. You can take it anytime you want."

Su Yi said: "You convey a message to the emperor. The Hunan Army is too powerful, so Jiangxi cannot fall into the hands of the Hunan Army. We must find a way to divide and rule."

Princess Shou'an said: "Of course he understands this truth, but only the Hunan Army can use it in the south. There are tens of thousands of troops in Jiangxi, or even more. Only the Hunan Army can match them. Your two or three thousand people, in the This kind of big battlefield is of no use. "

Su Yi said: "So, I need to be very clever and use the power of the Hunan Army to plan my overall situation."

Princess Shou'an said: "Anyway, you should always think about something. The emperor is different from me. He has no patience, and his mood changes a lot. He can get annoyed easily. Don't step on his bottom line. Don't let him annoy you."

Then, Princess Shou'an said: "You are in the palace, is there anyone who can speak for you?"

Su Yi quickly said: "No, it's just you."

"Really?" Princess Shou'an said, "Did you offend anyone?"

Su Yi said: "What's wrong?"

Princess Shou'an said: "It's nothing."

Then, she said: "How do you want to talk to Zeng Guofan tomorrow? You tell me first. I will be by the emperor's side so that I can help you."

Next, the two people said important things in this intimate gesture.

After saying that.

Su Yi said softly: "Good sister, you feel comfortable, what should I do?"

Princess Shou'an said: "No big deal, it's the same as that day."

A woman's mouth is a liar, she just kept saying it for the last time.

Su Yi said: "No, just coax the child."

A mere catkin can't solve a thousand sorrows.

Princess Shou'an said: "Then what do you want?"

Su Yi said: "I'll borrow it from Guishan."

Princess Shou'an's face turned red and she lowered her head to glance at the towering place.

"I don't know how to do it anyway." Princess Shou'an said angrily: "I will never see you again in the future. Every time I see you, I will push myself further."

"If you want to treat me like this, it's up to you."

"Anyway, my life is miserable and you treat me like a lowly woman."

……………………………………………………

The next day!

In the spotlight, Zeng Guofan officially visited Su Yi's family.

Just as he said, he went to visit Father Su He first.

And last night, after Tong Jiashi and Bai Feifei gave instructions, Su He practiced it several times.

Every sentence is tailor-made and no self-expression is allowed.

Su He was so angry that he shouted, "Look, look, in your mind, am I such a nonsensical person? Am I the kind of person who would say those nonsense?"

"Not only my wife has to control me, but my daughter-in-law also has to control me. How can I live like this?"

"I really can't live like this anymore, I'll just move out."

"If I move out, you'll have peace and quiet, and you won't have to look at me and get annoyed."

"Without you, I, Su He, can still live like this, and even live better."

Tong Jia said nothing, turned around and went into the house to get a feather duster.

Su He restrained himself and said seriously, "How can I cooperate with you?"

Alas, my father is all about reason.

So, when receiving Zeng Guofan today, Su He's father performed very well.

Not arrogant, not flattering, not perverse, but secretly dissatisfied, and a little sarcastic.

Zeng Guofan was slightly surprised. It's not that Su Ye's father is unreliable, but an old dandy.

Now it seems that it is not the case.

When the conversation was almost over, Zeng Guofan was about to get to the point and negotiate with Su Ye.

Father Su He said lightly: "Then I won't keep you. I have to go to Prince Dun's house for a drink. He has invited me for a long time, but I don't have time to go, and I can't embarrass him again."

"Sometimes, my son is too promising, and I am tired as a father!"

"Lord Zeng, do you think so?"

Okay!

Finally, it was broken.

Dad couldn't help but pretend to be cool and show off.

Facing a big shot, it is more uncomfortable not to show off than to kill him.

Su Quan and Bai Feifei smiled helplessly in the compartment, but there was no way, Dad had performed very well today.

If it were usual, he would have said a lot of bragging.

……………………………………………………

In the study.

Su Ye made tea and sat opposite Zeng Guofan.

Zeng Guofan said in a gentle manner: "Su Ye, a man should be treated with new eyes after three days of absence. I am not very happy about your achievements today."

"You were under my command that day. Although you did not fight well, you were still quite good in other areas. You contributed a lot to my position as the governor of Hubei."

"When the rebels came to rob Shi Fengkui, it was you who shot and killed the bandit leader and saved my life."

"Every time I think of it, Zeng is deeply moved!"

"I hanged you that day because the military law was as heavy as a mountain and I had no choice."

"Su Ye, you are now in charge of the army, you should know my mood that day , just like Kong Ming shed tears and beheaded Ma Su, the knife was sharp but the heart was soft. One knife cut Ma Su's neck, and the other knife cut Kong Ming's heart. "

"Now the world is broken, the mountains and rivers are weeping, and in the past two years, I finally recovered Hubei. Now Jiangxi is ravaged by the rebels, and tens of millions of people look north to the king's army, just like babies look to their parents. The military situation is like a fire, we should be dedicated to the public, die for the emperor, and eliminate all evil spirits for the people. "

"I don't know what Brother Su Ye can teach me about this matter?"

Su Ye found that he had changed a little in the past two years.

No longer the kind of person who sticks his neck to anyone, not that tough.

But the change is not big, even if he comes to surrender, he is still soft and hard.

Su Ye said slowly: "Marshal Zeng, you are a man of action, and I am also a man of action, so how about being honest with each other?"

Zeng Guofan leaned back slightly, picked up the teacup and said: "Please tell me, what do you want, what are your conditions?"

Is this right?

Why say those beautiful words?

Su Ye said: "You wanted to kill me that day, not only for military law, because I am a red belt, but also the emperor gave me a secret box, I can make a secret report at any time. In addition, there is another hidden story about the death of Chonglun, the former governor of Hubei. You think I know too much."

Zeng Guofan turned a deaf ear to it.

This attitude is very clear, these things are disdainful to talk about.

And his mood is different from the previous two or three years. Now he has a strong army, and things that were troublesome to him before are not troublesome now.

"I want Jiujiang." Su Ye said directly: "After you conquer the whole of Jiangxi, Jiujiang must be handed over to me, and I will lead the new army to settle in. In addition, I want to be the prefect of Jiujiang and the Jiangxi Provincial Surveillance Commissioner."

Is this what Su Ye wants?

Of course not, he wanted more than that, he wanted the whole Jiangxi.

But he could only say so much.

Zeng Guofan's face darkened, and he said: "Su Ye, the world is so big, you can go anywhere, why do you want to go to Jiujiang?"

In Zeng Guofan's view, you, Su Ye, can go to Yangzhou or Tianjin, why do you have to go to Jiujiang?

Is it to make trouble for my Hunan Army?

However, for Su Ye, Tianjin is too close to the capital and the sea, which is extremely unsafe.

Although Yangzhou is also on the Yangtze River waterway, it is too close to Tianjing of the Taiping Army.

Wuchang is under the control of the Hunan Army, so we can't retreat to Chongqing, right?

Although in a sense, Chongqing does have more advantages than Jiujiang.

But Su Ye has another purpose. The Hunan Army is also a goal he wants to solve in the future. Only by taking Jiangxi can he nail down a son in the core area of ​​the Hunan Army.

Moreover, as long as Jiujiang develops prosperously enough, it will make many Han people see it clearly enough, and it can also produce a strong contrast, which will facilitate the return of Han elites.

So this position was chosen by Su Ye after repeated selection.

But Zeng Guofan had no idea of ​​Su Ye's strategic deployment. In his opinion, Su Ye was just seeking revenge.

Zeng Guofan would have driven him out of the Hunan Army even if he had to be hanged that day.

Now Su Yi wants to come back and steal food from his tiger's mouth.

And for Zeng Guofan, it was absolutely impossible to give up Jiujiang to Su Yi.

Two years ago, the Hunan Army suffered heavy losses in Jiujiang. Now it has been besieging the city for nearly two years. The peaches are almost ripe. Do you, Su Yi, want to pick peaches?

dream!

Moreover, Jiujiang is stuck at a critical point in the Yangtze River waterway.

In the future, the Hunan Army will attack Anhui and Jiangsu. Once Jiujiang is occupied, the entire rear area of ​​the Hunan Army will be exposed to the new army.

How does this work?

Zeng Guofan said slowly: "Su Yi, this condition is absolutely impossible!"

"You change the conditions."

Su Yi said: "There are no other conditions!"

Zeng Guofan said: "Su Yi, your new army only has two or three thousand people, and half of them have not yet formed an army. There are tens of thousands of Jiangxi rebels. Except for our Hunan Army, no one in the world can recapture Jiangxi, let alone Can take back Jiujiang."

"You can hold us back because the emperor values ​​you and trusts you."

"But, there is a bottom line."

"If you abandon public service for personal reasons, you will be cast aside."

"So once the negotiation between the two of us fails, it means we have broken our skin, and everything will be difficult to negotiate."

"I would like to advise my brother to stop as soon as possible to avoid something uncontrollable happening."

"So, now I'm going to give my brother another chance. You can state a condition that we can agree to. Otherwise, when I step out of this door, it will be too late."

Su Yi said slowly: "Sorry, this is the only condition I have."

Zeng Guofan stood up and said, "Then just wait for me to join you."

"Farewell!"

Zeng Guofan left directly.

Yushi ginseng, a lot of the time there is no pain or itching.

But for such a high-ranking official with military power to join the people, it would be a big deal.

In the past few years, no less than two or three of the feudal officials were overthrown by Zeng Guofan.

Because once such a feudal official with military power joins the ranks, he is like an arrow that has been loosed from the string and has to be fired.

At that time, the emperor would have only one choice.

Keep one of the two!

At this time, the emperor usually retains the person who is stronger and has more soldiers.

Zeng Guofan left Su Yi's house with a livid face.

The servants waiting outside, after confirming the situation, rushed home.

Tell your master the result.

The negotiation between Su Yi and Zeng Guofan failed!

So, something big might be going on.

Moreover, after Zeng Guofan left Su Yi's house, he did not go to Duhan Mansion or Sushun Mansion.

Instead, he went directly to the palace.

This person really has a fiery temperament.

…………………………………………

At this time, in the palace, Princess Shouan was constantly stirring up trouble.

Of course she knew that the negotiation between Su Yi and Zeng Guofan would fail.

Therefore, I entered the palace early this morning and was met with wave after wave of slander.

While talking, she was still angry.

This bitch man fucked her every day and coaxed her every day.

But he still had to work so hard to do things for him.

You bitch man, lied to my feelings, played with my body, defrauded me of all my money, and even coaxed me to do things for you.

In fact, she knows everything. She knows nothing about a man's thoughts.

But I still couldn't help but indulge in it.

What a sin.

Fortunately, Emperor Xianfeng was not Yongzheng, otherwise he would have been suspicious early on.

Princess Shou'an had been fanning the flames all morning, and her mouth was dry, so she couldn't help but pick up the tea and take a sip.

Then I couldn't help but wonder, would that bitch man want to hit her in the mouth the next time he saw her?

Pooh!

Pooh!

It will definitely not let you get what you want.

She actually, really knows everything.

At this moment, the eunuch outside Zeng Lu said: "Your Majesty, Zeng Guofan would like to see you."

The emperor asked: "How does your face look?"

Zenglu said: "It's ugly."

The emperor suddenly frowned, he was most afraid of trouble.

But now, trouble is coming.

So, the emperor said: "Call him in."

Princess Shou'an immediately retreated.

…………………………………………

A moment later, Zeng Guofan entered the Sanxi Hall and knelt down: "Your Majesty, long live long live!"

The emperor asked: "How was your discussion with Su Yi?"

Zeng Guofan said directly: "Your Majesty, I am impeaching Mr. Su Yi to avenge my personal revenge, and I have no superior. To delay military and national affairs for my own selfish interests is without a king or a country, and is not worthy of his position!"

The emperor frowned.

After not seeing each other for several years, he thought Zeng Guofan had changed, but he didn't expect that he still had the same personality.

So intense, so tyrannical.

He can only have others obey him and cannot disobey him.

But now that the Hunan army was powerful and they had to rely on the Hunan army for the war in the south, the emperor could only tolerate it.

So, the emperor smiled and said: "Su Yi is still young. If he says anything extreme, I will blame you for him. You were once his boss, and you are an old-timer. Don't be on the same level as him."

Zeng Guofan said: "If it is for private matters, why not give in three feet? But it is for public affairs. The military situation is like a fire, and there is no way for me to retreat."

The emperor was angry, but he still said with a smile on his face: "What on earth did Su Yi say to make Aiqing so angry?"

Zeng Guofan said: "Su Yi said that after I have captured Jiujiang, I will hand it over to him. He will be the magistrate of Jiujiang and the inspector of Jiangxi."

The emperor was stunned and said: "Is there anything wrong with this?"

As soon as these words came out, Zeng Guofan was furious.

"Whether it is the prefect of Jiujiang or the Jiangxi Provincial Surveillance Commissioner, they are all public tools of the state. How can they be privately transferred?" Zeng Guofan said: "So I impeach Su Ye for abandoning public power for personal reasons and he is not worthy of his position!"

In Zeng Guofan's view, Su Ye's move is really evil. We fought hard to take Jiujiang, and you want to get it for nothing.

To some extent, Jiujiang is more important than Nanchang.

In the eyes of the emperor, whether it is Jiujiang or Nanchang, they are all my territory.

Is there anything wrong with Su Ye wanting to take Jiujiang?

You can't be so domineering with the Hunan Army. Wherever you take it, it's yours?

Do you want to create a country within a country?

At this time, Zeng Guofan was uncomfortable here.

Some things can only be done, not said.

But everyone knows that Su Ye and the Hunan Army have a grudge. Let his new army occupy Jiujiang and block the retreat of the Hunan Army. How can it be safe?

Su Ye's poison is also poisoned here.

Everything I asked for was for the Emperor's sake, for the sake of the country.

This morning, Princess Shou'an fanned the flames and tried her best to instill this idea.

We can't let the Hunan Army expand like this any longer.

Zeng Guofan was extremely angry.

Traitorous ministers, incompetent monarchs!

The military situation over there is so intense that they can only rely on our Hunan Army.

We haven't even taken Jiangxi yet, and you can't wait to stab us in the back?

So, he bowed down again and said, "I impeach Su Ye, please understand, Your Majesty!"

At this time, the truth is revealed.

Your Majesty, if you continue to favor Su Ye?

Then don't blame us for giving up.

This is to force the Emperor to choose between two options.

He often did this before, and he succeeded every time.

The former Hubei Governor Chonglun was overthrown by him.

The former Jiangxi Governor Chen Qimai was overthrown by him.

Not long ago, another Jiangxi Governor was overthrown by him.

Because he had a large army, he could succeed every time.

Now it was Su Ye's turn.

Seeing him so tyrannical, the emperor was unhappy and his face fell. He said lightly: "I think there is nothing wrong with Su Ye's proposal."

Zeng Guofan's face changed.

Then he took off his hat and kowtowed to the ground and said: "I am not talented and learned, and I am exhausted. I beg for my bones!"

The emperor's face changed drastically in an instant.

Zeng Guofan resigned.

He actually used this killer weapon!

It was about ten days earlier than history.

………………………………

Note: The second update is here. I can't think of asking for monthly tickets, so I can only bow deeply!

Thank you all, please.
