Usurping the Qing Dynasty: My first love was Cixi

Chapter 257: Su Shun's Death Su Ye Goes on a Killing Spree

Chapter 257 Su Shun’s death! Su Yi goes on a killing spree!

The moment Prince Yi Zaiyuan saw Su Yi, he suddenly trembled and could hardly stand.

At this time, Su Yi stood up and said to Zai Yuan, "Sit down."

This, this is my home.

But at this time, Su Yi had a strong momentum.

Prince Yi Zaiyuan sat down instinctively.

Su Yi said slowly: "Prince Yi, do you think I follow the rules?"

Zaiyuan didn't know how to answer.

Say you abide by the rules, but you slaughtered the Eight Banners soldiers and forcibly disbanded them.

Call it unruly. In high-level struggles, you are very particular about fighting without breaking up. You have always been a gentleman and tried every means to avoid civil war.

"Answer me." Su Yi said calmly.

Prince Yi Zaiyuan said: "You are a follower of the rules."

Su Yi said: "Then why don't you abide by the rules? Are you so unable to afford to lose?"

Su Yi came to the bookshelf and looked through the books inside.

There is a complete set of Zizhi Tongjian, including "Dayi Jue Mi Lu". This set of books was banned by Emperor Qianlong, but it is not surprising to find it here in Zaiyuan.

Su Yi flipped through the book "Dayi Jue Mi Lu" and flipped through a page at random, and found that Zai Yuan had read the book carefully and had relevant comments.

Su Yi was immersed in the content of this book and couldn't help but smile.

This Emperor Yongzheng was really a sweet-tempered man. In order to defend others, he would tell the truth to others. He also revealed many secrets of the royal family, which made the people lose their sense of mystery about the royal family. No wonder Qianlong banned it.

Su Yi said slowly: "Thirteenth Master, I have worked hard for Emperor Shizong all my life, and I am almost exhausted to death. I have earned the Iron Hat King for you, but will I lose at your hands?"

"Zaiyuan, do you think I have the ability to overturn the table?"

Zaiyuan sat motionless.

"Speak." Su Yihan said.

"Yes." Zaiyuan said.

Su Yi said: "Then why don't I lift the table?"

Then, he asked himself and answered: "Because I want to be patient and serve the country, I, a person who has the ability to lift the table, will not lift it, but you plan to lift the table. Where does this make sense?"

"Zaiyuan, please speak. You have at least three things to say."

Zaiyuan tested the sweat on his forehead and didn't know what to say.

Su Yi said: "If you don't say it, I will say it for you."

"First sentence, your Fujin went to the palace yesterday to pay homage to the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother was not there, but you hinted that you wanted to surrender, so she met you."

"Second sentence, your wife made a rumor that the Queen Mother is pregnant, and the child is my Su Yi's."

"In the third game, the four of you plan to use the tablets of our ancestors to suppress us at the ancestor worship ceremony. You plan to expose the pregnancy of the Holy Mother and Queen Mother and force me to step down."

As soon as these words came out, sweat poured out from Zaiyuan's head. He stared at Su Yi in shock, "You, Su Ye, you know?"

Su Yi said slowly: "How did I know about such a secret thing?"

Zaiyuan said: "Yes, yes..."

Su Yi said: "What do you think? How do I know?"

Zaiyuan said: "Yes, someone snitched."

Su Yi sneered and said, "You're not that stupid."

"Boyan Namohu is your son-in-law. How did he die? Have you forgotten?"

At that time, Boyannamohu, Kuangyuan, Duhan and others planned a civil war, but failed.

In order to save most of the people, Boyanna Mohu blew himself up and forced a mutiny, which was suppressed by Seng Gelinqin.

In this way, Seng Gelinqin and others changed from guilty ministers to meritorious ministers.

It can be said that many people jumped out of the last wave of political crisis by stepping on the heads of Boyan, Kuang Yuan, Du Han and others.

Su Yi said: "This time, they plan to betray you and jump out on your head."

As soon as these words came out, Zaiyuan's face changed drastically and he hissed: "I knew it, I knew it..."

In fact, no one betrayed him.

But for Zaiyuan, although the four of them are a political alliance, it is normal for someone to want to jump ship and someone to betray him at a critical moment.

Su Yi said: "Why did I come to you? Because your Fujin took the initiative to find the Queen Mother and wanted to surrender."

"So, let me ask you, do you want to die or live."

Zaiyuan's body trembled and he said, "I want to live, I want to live."

Su Yi said: "If you want to live, can you do the charge into battle?"

Zaiyuan said: "Reform the flag affairs?"

Su Yi said: "Yes."

Zaiyuan trembled and said: "Yes, I can do it..."

Su Yi said: "That's not enough. We also need a certificate of surrender. You caused this disaster, and you need to get rid of it."

Zaiyuan said: "What is the name certificate?"

Su Yi took out several documents from his pocket, three in total, and placed them in front of Zai Yuan.

One is Sushun's guilt, one is Duanhua's, and the other is Zai Ling's.

Zaiyuan picked it up tremblingly and looked at it carefully.

The culpability was found in great detail and even had very clear witnesses.

Especially Sushun, for this one crime alone, he will definitely die.

Dragon Qi Broken Cup.

Su Shun drank ginseng juice every day, and he had a special jade cup, which he loved very much. One day, the servant accidentally broke the jade cup, and then glued it together, but it would be exposed sooner or later. So one day, after the boy served Su Shun to drink ginseng juice, he cried out, shook his hand and dropped the cup on the ground, pointed at Su Shun and said: "Master, two streams of yellow air came out of your nose, five or six feet long, like a dragon, which scared me, so I dropped the cup. Please punish me, Master."

Su Shun sneered: "What's so strange about dragon air? Make a fuss."

Then, he didn't blame the boy.

Of course, this is just one of them.

There are many other crimes, such as offending the Holy Mother Empress Dowager and the Mother Empress Dowager.

Especially scolding Empress Dowager Ci'an in private, he was simply merciless and called her a fool at every turn.

Even the late emperor was scolded.

As for Duanhua's crimes, there are indeed many.

One of the key ones is that he once sent women from the brothel to the palace to serve the late emperor, causing the late emperor to become ill.

Su Ye said: "You should prepare three impeachment memorials. Submit them when I ask you to. You should impeach whoever I ask you to impeach. This is your pledge of loyalty."

Zaiyuan trembled and said: "Prime Minister Su, do the other three have memorials impeaching me?"

Su Ye said: "It's okay or not, but at least not now."

"You should thank the monk king. He is your relative, and he fully supports military reform now."

"From now on, you stay in the study and don't leave."

"Come on, keep an eye on Prince Yi."

Suddenly, more than a dozen guards appeared from the shadows and firmly guarded every corner outside the study.

Then, Su Ye left.

…………………………

At this time, it was already three o'clock in the morning.

Su Ye came to Su Shun's house again.

At this time, Su Shun had even gone to bed. He was shocked to hear the servants report that Su Ye was visiting.

Then, he came to the study in his clothes.

"Su Ye, what's the matter? Can't we talk about it tomorrow? Must we talk about it in the middle of the night?" Su Shun said.

Su Ye said, "What I just said was not thorough."

Su Shun said, "Oh, then you sit down."

Su Ye sat down and said slowly, "Sixth brother, do you remember that when I wanted to run foreign affairs in Jiujiang, the late emperor was against it, but he couldn't say it clearly, so he asked me to come to you."

"Sixth brother agreed with me at that time, but because of the late emperor, it was not easy to express his position too clearly."

"But at that time, I felt that Sixth brother and I were like-minded in our hearts."

Su Shun fell into silence.

Su Ye said: "When the previous emperor was in power, the sixth brother was in charge of the central power and repeatedly wanted to reform the banner affairs, but he just couldn't do it, so he turned to promote Han people and suppressed the banner people."

"With the talent of the sixth brother, you should be able to see clearly that these millions of banner people are getting something for nothing and sucking blood from the national finances. They have become the biggest cancer of the Qing Dynasty."

"Next, I need to train 100,000 new imperial armies and navy. These two things alone will require nearly 100 million taels of silver."

"I also need to build a railway from Beijing to Tianjin, Kaiping coal mine, Tianjin wharf, Shanghai shipyard, and Fujian shipyard."

"The northwestern border occupies more than one-third of the territory of the Qing Dynasty. Now It is in danger and will soon no longer belong to the Qing Dynasty. If we want to quell the rebellion in the northwest and stabilize the border, we will need tens of millions of taels. "

"The Russians are constantly increasing their troops in the Far East, and they are destined to have a war with us, which will require tens of millions of taels of military expenditure. "

"To do so many big things in the future, they will need money, a lot of money. "

"And these millions of bannermen do not work, and they take away a considerable part of the country's finances every year. "

"It is imperative to reform the banner affairs. When the previous emperor was in power, my sixth brother wanted to change it, but there was no strong support. But now it is different, I can give all my support. As long as the banner affairs are changed, my sixth brother will be remembered in history. "

Su Ye said it sincerely, and these words were said while looking into Su Shun's eyes.

Sushun said: "Su Ye, didn't I tell you before that I would reply in a few days?"

Su Ye said slowly: "No, I have to reply now."

Sushun's face changed slightly, and he said: "What do you mean?"

Su Ye said: "No, I just want to reply now."

Sushun said in a hoarse voice: "Su Ye, although you have eliminated the rebels and won this battle, you are still not able to cover the sky with one hand."

Su Ye did not speak, but sat here quietly waiting.

After a long while, Sushun said: "You and I are not like-minded, I'm sorry I can't obey your order."

Su Ye stood up and said: "I know."

Then he bowed to Sushun and left directly.

……………………

Although he was prepared in his heart, Su Ye was still very disappointed.

Among the bannermen, Sushun was considered talented.

And he had always shown the posture of reusing Han people and reforming banner affairs, which made Su Ye have relatively high expectations of him.

The result... was just Ye Gonghaolong.

Not a great talent.

Just after leaving Sushun Mansion, Su Ye gave an order.

Zhang Guoliang led a thousand garrison officers and soldiers to surround Sushun's residence.

Everyone was shocked!

This... they are mobilizing troops right now?

Are they going to completely tear each other apart?

Jingshou, the leader of another garrison division in the capital, was awakened from his sleep.

"My lord, it's not good, it's not good."

"Su Yi sent troops to surround Su Zhongtang's residence. What... is this going to do?"

"What should we do? What should we do?"

Jing Shou's expression changed drastically. Su Yi had always followed the rules before.

Now, the army was directly mobilized?

What is this going to do?

"Don't move, don't move..." Jing Shou said: "Our army must not move. The slightest movement will cause the earth to collapse."

"I'm going to see the monk king."

Then, Jing Shou left the mansion directly and went to Seng Gelinqin's mansion.

On the way, they saw Feng Zicai leading a second army and rushing directly to Prince Zheng's Mansion.

Amidst the screams, Prince Zheng's residence was directly surrounded.

He was even more horrified.

When Jing Shou entered Seng Gelin Qin Mansion, several people were already gathered here.

"Talk in the study." Seng Gelinqin said.

Then, Jing Shou followed Seng Gelinqin into the study.

"King Monk, what happened? What happened?" Jing Shou said tremblingly.

Seng Gelinqin said: "I don't know, but Su Shun and Duan Hua must have wanted to jump over the wall, so Su Yi acted first."

Jing Shou said: "Then what should we do?"

Seng Gelinqin said: "Don't move, don't make any movement at all."

Jing Shou said: "But by doing this, doesn't Su Yi confirm the fact that he is Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao? Sushun is the cabinet minister, and Duan Hua is the iron hat king. Such a person, he said he would surround him." , then who else is safe?”

Seng Gelinqin thought for a while and said: "Su Yi, actually he doesn't care whether others regard him as Dong Zhuo or Cao Cao. He is willing to follow the rules, but the prerequisite is that others also follow the rules. Once others do not follow the rules, he will I will use the power of thunder to suppress it instantly.”

"Wait, wait..."

"As long as he is willing to follow the rules, we still won't touch anything."

……………………

At this time, the queen mothers of the two palaces were also awakened directly.

Especially the Empress Dowager Ci'an, who was completely shocked and angry.

Didn't you, Su Yi, promise me well?

As a result, they turned around and immediately sent troops to surround the residences of Sushun and Duanhua. Where would this put me?

And Yehenala was completely shocked.

Soon, there was a sound outside.

"Xiang Su, Xiang Su, the Queen Mother is not in good health..." Ande Hai said.

Su Yi slapped him hard in the face.

"Crack!"

Suddenly, Ande Hai was stunned.

Su Yi had always been very polite to him and never even scolded him.

At this time, a slap came over and stunned him.

Then, Su Yi broke into Changchun Palace directly.

Yehenala said: "Su Yi, you are so majestic. You can beat the eunuchs of this palace whenever you want. Since you don't take me seriously at all, then you should beat me too."

After saying that, she straightened out her belly.

Su Yi stepped forward and stripped her naked.

"Asshole, bastard..."

"Ouch……"

"Be careful kids, be careful kids..."

"Slow down, slow down, I can't bear it..."

After a long while, she said hoarsely: "Am I not good-looking?"

Su Yi said: "No, it has a different flavor and is much more compact."

"Animal, animal..." Yehenara hit Su Yi.

"Why did you make such a big noise? It's almost fatal. You sent troops to surround the residences of Sushun and Duanhua. Is this because you are afraid that others will not scold you Cao Cao or Dong Zhuo?"

Su Yi said: "They know about your pregnancy and they plan to reveal it at the ancestor worship ceremony in three days and drive me out of office."

As soon as these words came out, Yehenara's expression changed drastically.

If it really comes out at the ancestor worship ceremony, she will be finished and her reputation will be completely ruined.

She, she was already very careful, why would she still be seen out? It would be a disaster if the sky fell.

"Kill them, kill them..." Yehenala hissed: "I will give you a decree to kill them."

Su Yi said softly: "Now that I'm back, you can go to Tantuo Temple to worship Buddha for a while."

"I don't want to go..." Yehenala said with red eyes.

Su Yi said: "Then why don't you go to Jiujiang secretly?"

Yehenala said in surprise: "Is it okay? I...I haven't been to the south yet."

Su Yi said: "What's wrong with that? That's my territory."

Yehenala said: "But, I am more than six months pregnant, what should I do if I have fetal gas?"

Su Yi asked: "Do you get seasick when taking a boat?"

"No." Yehenala said, "I have been on a boat."

Su Yi said: "I have built a very luxurious carriage, and the suspension system is top-notch. And this month, you should do more activities."

Yehenala said: "But, in that case, we won't be able to see each other for a long time."

Su Yi asked: "Are you so greedy?"

"Bah, who's greedy?" Yehenara scolded: "I don't like this kind of thing at all. Ouch... why did you come in again?"

Su Yi said: "Do you like it?"

"dislike."

"Do you like it?"

"I don't like it at all."

…………………………………………

After showering and changing clothes.

Su Yi left Changchun Palace and went to Zhongcui Palace.

At this time, Empress Dowager Ci'an had been sitting there, waiting for him for a long time.

At this time, her eyes were not red, but directly red and swollen.

Obviously, she had been crying for a long time. She looked at Su Ye with disappointment and pain.

"Su Ye, you... is this how you deceive me?"

"Give me a glass of poisoned wine, I will drink it directly, and it will be over."

Su Ye said slowly: "Empress Dowager, I don't want to be Dong Zhuo or Cao Cao at all."

"I don't want to be fierce and evil at all. I want to be gentle and elegant in the court and use thunderbolt methods to the outside world."

"But, there are always people forcing me."

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "You have a large army, who dares to force you?"

Su Ye said: "I went to Su Shun and Duan Hua and invited them to join the flag reform office, and then they refused. Absolutely. ”

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "Then what? Even if they refused, you sent troops to surround their mansions and shook the entire capital. Are you afraid that others will say you are Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao?"

Su Ye said: "Su Shun, Duan Hua, Zai Yuan, and Zai Ling are planning to launch a final desperate struggle against me and drive me out of office at the ancestral worship ceremony two days later."

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "Impossible, how can they have this ability? What means do they want to drive you out of office?"

Su Ye said: "Breaking the news that the Empress Dowager Cixi is pregnant."

As soon as these words came out, it was like a thunderbolt.

Empress Dowager Ci'an stood up suddenly, looked around, and whispered: "You want to die, you want to die..."

"You can say this? You dare to say this. "

There is no one around.

After a long while, Empress Dowager Ci'an stared at Su Ye for a long time and said, "Tell me honestly, is the baby in her belly yours?"

Su Ye said, "Yes."

Empress Dowager Ci'an glared at him fiercely and said, "You, you are really audacious, you are really a living Dong Zhuo."

But she was not so angry about this matter.

Because Emperor Xianfeng was even more absurd in this regard, and even summoned prostitutes from outside.

At that time, she was allergic to mangoes, and she also had some spots below. She was scared to death at that time, and thought she was infected with some dirty disease.

Since then, she has been trying to refuse Emperor Xianfeng's closeness.

Of course, she couldn't refuse openly, so she just had to show a kind of alienation and coldness.

Emperor Xianfeng was a very sensitive and noble person, and of course he was too lazy to stick to a cold butt with a warm face.

In history, Empress Dowager Ci'an also completely turned a blind eye to Empress Dowager Cixi's private life.

Anyway, she just kept herself clean.

Su Ye said, "I once said that I have always been open and honest with the Empress Dowager, without any schemes or tricks."

Empress Dowager Ci'an said coldly, "Such a scandal doesn't need to be so open to me."

Then, she sneered, "You and her are really in love. After more than ten years, the old love has rekindled."

Su Ye said, "My..."

"Shut up!" Empress Dowager Ci'an said, "At this time, you still have the nerve to say such things to me?"

Su Ye kept silent.

Empress Dowager Ci'an said, "How do you plan to settle her? Do you really want her to go to court with a big belly, and then give birth in the palace, completely trampling on the face of the late emperor?"

Su Ye suddenly said, "Empress Dowager, do you know that the Empress Dowager Cixi is pregnant?"

Ci'an said, "I don't know. I don't know anything about the scandal between you."

When Empress Dowager Ci'an and Empress Dowager Cixi were ruling the country from behind the curtain, they sat side by side. Didn't she notice anything at all?

"How many people know about this now?" Empress Dowager Ci'an asked.

Su Ye said: "Su Shun, Zai Yuan, Duan Hua, Zai Ling, and Zai Yuan's wife."

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "Don't spread it any further. If too many people know about it, you won't be able to kill them all."

"What do you plan to do with her?"

Su Ye said: "Send her to the south to give birth, and nominally say that she went to Tantuo Temple to worship Buddha."

Empress Dowager Ci'an fell into deep thought. If that happened, she would be the only empress dowager in the palace.

Then, Empress Dowager Ci'an suddenly asked: "If the four of them really revealed her pregnancy at the ancestral worship ceremony, what are you going to do?"

Su Ye was silent and said: "I don't know."

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "Will you admit that you are the father of the child?"

Su Ye said: "Yes."

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "You...how do you plan to deal with Duanhua, Sushun and others?"

Su Ye said: "Zaiyuan will report to the court and impeach Sushun and the other two."

Empress Dowager Ci'an's pretty face changed slightly and said: "Did he agree?"

Su Ye said: "The four of them draw lots, whoever draws the short lot will launch a suicidal attack on me at the ancestral worship ceremony , Zaiyuan drew the short lot, in a sense, it was Sushun, Duanhua and the other four who pushed Zaiyuan to death. ”

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "Su Ye, I'm going to ask you a question, tell me honestly."

Su Ye said: "Please tell me."

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "One day, if I get in your way, will you kill me?"

Su Ye said: "No."

"Not only will I not hurt the Queen Mother, I will even do my best to protect her."

"Because the Queen Mother is the most pure and beautiful woman in my mind."

Empress Dowager Ci'an sneered: "Does it make any sense for you to say these words to me now?"

Su Yi said: "I'm just telling the truth. Otherwise, I wouldn't have chosen to take you instead of her when I went to Chengde, because deep down in my heart, I believe in you."

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "You kidnapped me at that time. You just thought I was easy to bully."

Then, her tears fell and she sobbed: "Next, do whatever you want. Anyway, what can I, a weak woman, do? Kill whoever you want, and arrest whoever you want. Even if the Queen Mother of the Ai family..."

Su Yi didn't speak, just looked at Empress Dowager Ci'an tenderly.

Empress Dowager Ci'an is really complaining in her heart, Su Yi, do you want shame or not?

You have made the Queen Mother of the West bigger, and you seem to have endless affection for me.

Do you really think I'm a teenager?

The late emperor was shameless, you are even more shameless than the late emperor.

In this regard, you are really following your roots. The men in your family are all so shameless.

The image of you and Princess Shouan having an affair is still fresh in my mind.

…………………………………………

Early the next morning.

All civil and military officials went to court tremblingly.

Because the action was too big last night, Su Yi's army surged out like a tide in the second half of the night.

They successively surrounded the residences of Sushun, Duanhua, and Zailing.

Everyone was shocked. They were fine during the day, but why did they suddenly make such a big move at night?

Could it be that Su Yi was unwilling to endure it?

Will Cao Cao and Dong Zhuo finally reveal their true colors?

You just won the battle against Rebellion, are you ready to use your weapons?

After returning home, Su Yi took a bath again.

Because I had not slept all night, I had to go to court again.

Zuo Zongtang, Tian Yugong and others also stayed up all night.

"Although the incident happened suddenly, it... may not be a good thing." Zuo Zongtang said: "Kill the chicken to scare the monkeys. Next, Prime Minister Su will carry out a series of major reforms. Someone will definitely make trouble. Sushun, Duanhua and others are important enough. , just enough to make people fearful.”

Lin Shaozhang next to him said: "Let everyone in the world be mentally prepared."

As soon as he said this, the people around him couldn't help but look at him.

What you said was too direct.

……………………………………………………

Above the court.

"The Queen Mother is here, the Emperor is here."

Empress Dowager Ci'an led the young emperor to Qianqing Palace.

Originally there was no grand meeting, but two days later there was an ancestor worship ceremony.

After the ceremony, there will be a meeting to formally reward Su Yi for his great achievements.

But something happened suddenly and a court meeting had to be held.

The little emperor sat down in front, and the queen mothers of the two palaces sat down behind the curtain.

Empress Dowager Ci'an had hidden her gaze before, but this time she couldn't hold back and glanced at Yehenala's belly.

Yehenara's face turned red and he sat upright.

"Here comes the original play."

Su Yi came out and said, "I have my roots."

"The Hongyang Rebellion affected several provinces and lasted for more than ten years. Now at the critical juncture, Li Xiucheng, Chen Yucheng, Lin Qirong, Lin Shaozhang and others lost their way and turned back. They abandoned the dark side and turned to the bright side, thus avoiding military and man-made disasters. Several people admired the power of God and thought If you want to meet with the Queen Mother and the Emperor, please make a decision."

As soon as these words came out, many civil and military people in the entire court felt unhappy.

You, Su Yi, are so domineering in your work. Even if you recruit and surrender the entire rebel team, you still have to force the empress dowagers of the two palaces and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty to recognize this matter. You will also force us to serve as ministers in the same court as the rebel bandit leader, right?

People are suspicious and changeable, so Su Yi wants to let the imperial court accept the top leaders of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in an open and honest manner.

This time the tone is set, don’t think about making fun of this matter again in the future.

In normal times, someone would definitely come out to oppose it, but there might also be impeachment and scolding.

But now, Su Yi has sent troops to surround the residences of Sushun, Duanhua, and Zai Ling, and he is ready to go on a killing spree.

The civil and military officials in the court didn't know what was going on. They were afraid that Su Yi would break up with each other and that if they rushed out at this time, they would be killed directly.

Moreover, compared with Sushun and Duanhua, making the rebellious leader face the saint is a trivial matter.

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "According to the approval, several people will come to the palace to see you."

The great eunuch Zenglu shouted: "Xuan Li Xiucheng, Chen Yucheng, Lin Qirong, and Lin Shaozhang are here to see you."

After a while.

Four people went to the temple.

Even if you don't want to, you still have to give a normal courtesy.

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "Although you committed crimes before, at the critical moment, you found your way back and turned from darkness to light, which prevented the war and allowed the people of Jiangning...Nanjing to survive, and also saved the world from many soldiers."

"The imperial court is tolerant of others. Even if it has made mistakes before, as long as it wakes up in time at the critical moment, it will not hesitate to reward them."

"Li Xiucheng accepts the seal."

"Canonize Li Xiu as the commander-in-chief of Langshan Town!"

"Chen Yu canonized as the chief soldier of Xuzhou Town."

"Canonize Lin Qirong as the commander-in-chief of Susong Town."

"Canonized Lin Shaozhang as a Jinshi."

The rewards of these four people are not very generous, and they are much lower than their status in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

But the Qing court was like this. It never gave high official positions to the rebel generals who surrendered, and seemed very reserved.

The four of them bowed and saluted: "I thank you, Lord, for your kindness. Long live, long live, long live!"

Then, the four people retreated.

This ceremony is considered over.

Next, it’s time to get down to business.

Zaiyuan in the crowd was still confused, and his whole person was still in a battle between heaven and man.

By taking this step, he would probably be ruined. In the eyes of everyone, he would be a traitor.

However, at least the throne and life were saved.

Empress Dowager Ci'an asked: "Is there still the original memorial?"

There was silence in the entire hall.

After a long while, Zaiyuan, the foreman of the military minister, came out and said: "I impeach Sushun, Duanhua, and Zai Ling, the ten major crimes."

As soon as these words came out, the whole court was in an uproar.

Actually...it was you, Zaiyuan, who came forward?

Who doesn’t know that the four of you are in the same party?

At the critical moment, it was you who stabbed you in the back?

Empress Dowager Ci'an trembled slightly and said, "What crime?"

Prince Yi Zaiyuan said: "Conspiracy is a major crime!"

Suddenly, all the civil and military officials in the court were even more trembling. This... this was completely going to kill people.

It turned out to be a serious crime of treason.

The empress dowagers of the two palaces also fell into silence for a long time. Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "Read it."

Prince Yi Zaiyuan began to read his own impeachment memorial, which was a few thousand words long.

Three people, each guilty of ten deadly sins.

At first, everyone thought that these crimes might be false, but they did not expect that every crime was very substantial and detailed.

In particular, the crime of breaking the cup with Dragon Qi was completely confirmed by human and material evidence.

Is this Sushun so domineering?

In order to avoid guilt, your servant made up the story that your nose is like a dragon pillar, which is four or five feet long. This is completely ridiculous, don’t you know it yourself? Why do you want to say what's all the fuss about dragon energy?

You Sushun actually has some unreasonable thoughts about the dragon position.

As the late emperor's minister who cared about his life, are you worthy of the late emperor if you have such an idea?

Zaiyuan's impeachment memorial was very detail-oriented. Each charge had a specific time, place, and witnesses.

One of the charges is slandering your Majesty.

The so-called king refers to the late emperor.

This is not a fabrication. Sushun and Duanhua privately scolded Emperor Xianfeng not once or twice.

There is also another crime, which is insulting the queen mothers of the two palaces. This is not a fabrication.

After hearing this, Empress Dowager Ci'an was so angry that her delicate body trembled.

Okay, okay.

Sushun and Duanhua, when you criticize Yehenara, at most it means that she is wielding power and that she is a bastard.

As a result, you scolded me so harshly?

How protected have I been to you all this time? Even at the last moment, I will plead for you in front of Su Yi.

As a result, this is how you treat me?

"Okay." Yehenala said: "Don't read such rude words."

Zaiyuan knelt down and said, "This slave is guilty."

Yehenala said: "Check, check thoroughly."

"The Ai family doesn't believe it. No matter the late emperor or our two palaces, how kind are they to Sushun, Duanhua and Zai Ling? Even if they are well-raised dogs, these people are so cruel and cruel, they are worse than pigs and dogs. ”

"Su Yi, Zaiyuan, I have appointed you two as imperial envoys to investigate to the end."

"Send troops immediately and capture all of them."

Su Yi and Zai Yuan came out and said: "I obey the order."

……………………………………………………

With the imperial edict from the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces, Su Yi issued an order.

The soldiers of the garrison division rushed into Sushun Residence, Duanhua Residence, and Zailing Residence like wolves and tigers.

Sushun has been in charge of the central government for more than ten years and has been in charge of the central government for more than ten years.

He directly became a prisoner.

Prince Zheng Duanhua cursed at Zaiyuan.

"Zaiyuan, you traitor, you will not die a good death, you will not die a good death!"

After seeing Su Ye, Duan Hua couldn't help but said angrily: "Su Ye, why don't you come to me, why don't you come to me?"

"Why did you go to Zaiyuan? Why did you go to Sushun, but why didn't you come to me?"

The meaning is very clear. If you don't come to me, how do you know that I won't surrender?

Zai Ling, Minister of the Ministry of War, kept kowtowing to Su Yi and said: "Prime Minister Su, Prime Minister Su, I have no intention of walking into darkness with them. Please spare me this time."

Su Yi sneered, whether it was Duan Hua or Zai Ling, if you really wanted to surrender, didn't you have a chance in advance?

Especially Duanhua, I have already said that I want to invite you and Sushun to join the flag affairs reform yamen.

Aren't you turning a deaf ear?

And Zai Ling, if you really wanted to be on my side, you could have come to me and snitched on me long ago.

Why don't you come?

Aren't you trying to pull me down?

He was not looking forward to the suicide attack three days later.

However, you yourself have not come on stage, but you want Zaiyuan Lai to die with me.

It's so ridiculous.

…………………………………………

In the cell, Sushun shouted loudly: "Let Su Yi come to see me, let Su Yi come to see me."

More than half an hour later, Su Yi went to see Sushun.

"Su Yi, let me ask you a question." Sushun said.

Su Yi said: "You tell me."

Sushun said: "Are you Cao Cao? Can you be Cao Cao?"

Su Yi sighed and said, "Su Laoliu, stop pretending to be loyal and courageous."

"You have shown an extraordinary attitude before, and you want to reform the flag affairs and re-employ Han people, so I have always regarded you as a like-minded person. I have given you opportunities again and again, and I want to create a new world with you." great cause."

"What about you? When the late emperor was in power, you completely obeyed him and didn't dare to disobey him at all. The so-called Westernization and flag affairs were just words."

"After the late emperor is gone, you have no resistance, right? But because I was engaged in Westernization and reforming flag affairs, you went to the opposite side?"

"Just the fact that the dragon's energy shattered the cup is enough to prove that you are not such a loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty."

"In terms of engaging in Westernization and reforming flag affairs, I thought you were a good dragon like Mr. Ye, but now it seems that you are not even a good dragon like Mr. Ye."

"I don't know what you mean by asking me this last question. Maybe you want to prove that you died for the country? Want to show your final loyalty?"

"No need to, but I can tell you, I am not Cao Cao, I am not even Liu Xiu."

"About her pregnancy, you can scream as much as you want before you die."

"goodbye!"

After saying that, Su Yi turned and left.

Suddenly, a solemn voice came from behind.

"Su Yi, give me a chance to commit suicide, okay?"

Su Yi said: "I want to give you the dignity to commit suicide, but I'm very sorry, but I can't."

"Because what I am going to do next is too big, so I just need to use your heads to establish my authority."

Sushun said tremblingly: "I...my family doesn't know anything. I didn't say anything."

"No matter how much we say it, we have the same ancestor, we are considered brothers, and we won't bring harm to our family, okay?"

Su Yi didn't say anything and walked out directly.

Sushun said tremblingly: "Thank you, thank you so much."

Then he fell to the ground and cried.

He didn't even know why he was crying.

…………………………………………

The next day!

This huge case was investigated at an unprecedented speed.

In just one day, he was already completely convicted.

Originally, Zaiyuan was impeached for only ten major crimes, but the Queen Mother of the West added three more.

A total of thirteen deadly sins.

Prince Zheng Duanhua, cabinet scholar Sushun, Minister of the Ministry of War Zai Ling, and related party members, a total of seventy-one people.

Behead them all!

Do it immediately.

I really can't wait for a day, because tomorrow is an important ancestor worship ceremony, so I can't delay it.

Moreover, after the ancestor worship ceremony, Su Yi will be rewarded.

I really don’t want to waste a day.

Beheadings have always been done at Caishikou. The so-called beheading at the Meridian Gate is just a drama. It is more about beating people to death outside the Meridian Gate during the time of stick punishment.

But this time, the place of beheading was really outside the Meridian Gate.

Seventy-one people, 68 of whom were executed at Caishikou.

Countless people, even bannermen, went to watch the execution.

Duanhua, Sushun, and Zai Ling were all Aixinjueluo, and they were beheaded at the Meridian Gate.

More than a hundred officials and hundreds of princes and nobles watched the execution.

The sun was scorching in the sky, and everyone was sweating like rain.

Soon, dark clouds came over, thunder bursts, and rain was about to come.

Many princes and ministers looked at the three prisoners, trembling in their hearts.

An iron-hatted king, a cabinet prime minister, and a minister of the Ministry of War. Such big figures were beheaded, and for the first time, they were beheaded outside the Meridian Gate.

Su Yi, what does this mean?

Are you trying to hide the fact that you are Cao Cao or Dong Zhuo?

"It's time!" shouted a voice.

"Kill!" Prince Yi Zaiyuan threw the token suddenly.

With an order.

The three executioners raised their swords and chopped them down hard.

"Whoa!" Cut it off with one knife.

The heads of three good people, Sushun, Duanhua, and Zai Ling, rolled down directly.

Blood splattered.

At the same time, at Caishikou, in the eyes of everyone.

More than a dozen executioners kept raising and lowering their knives.

Sushun, Duanhua and dozens of other accomplices all had their heads missing.
