It was late at night in the capital, and the drums on the street had already sounded. In the cold weather, even the shouts of pounding were so weak. As for the soldiers who needed to patrol the street regularly, they had no idea where the cat had gone.

Yang Zhi was drunk and sat staggeringly on the horse's back. The servant was afraid that he would fall off the horse and walk in front and lead the horse's reins. The moonlight was pale in the dark night.

After all, Yang Zhi has a title, so the ban on Jingjie Gu did not work for him at all. On the way, he occasionally encountered two lonely night patrol soldiers. When he saw Yang Zhi's swaggering spirit, he knew that this was a product that he couldn't afford. With a handful of copper scattered, the other party would not have anything else except kowtowing to thank him for the reward.

Tonight is undoubtedly an unforgettable night for Yang Zhi. He thought he was an old fox who practiced well, but today he realized that he was just a harmless little white rabbit in the eyes of these big names.

The court is indeed the dirtiest and most complicated place in the world. Everything on the surface is fake. Who would have thought of Cixi and Yi? This pair of rumored protagonists has actually been in harmony with each other for a long time?

Who would have thought of Yi? A secret agreement has been reached with the British side. There has been a crack between the uncle and sister-in-law of the Xishan Camp. Last month, a guerrilla general fell off his horse and died after drinking. In fact, it was the result of the internal struggle between the two factions.

No one could have thought that the Nine Gate Admiral's yamen led by Yihuan was Cixi's true direct line. France just handed over 3 million gold francs of military assistance to Yihuan three months ago. God knows where all the money has been used.

What good things are Ci'an and Fuqing? Ci'an has reached a secret agreement with the princes and nobles of Mongolian with the identity of the Empress Dowager of the East Palace. Now, many trading caravans outside the pass are actually under the control of Fuqing.

Yang Zhi always thought that Fan Ru, the elder brother of the shopkeeper Fan Jian, was a corrupt scholarly waste that people often joke about, but he didn't know at all. It was under Fan Ru's integration and matchmaking that a large number of people in the Shanxi Shang Group had begun to join the command of Qing Sanye.

Some people think that the elite soldiers trained by the little emperor in Fujian used the funds from Jiangnan, but in fact, it is bullshit! The military expenditure provided by Hu Xueyan accounts for about 40% of the remaining military expenditure was actually raised by the department of Qing Sanye in the Zongli Yamen.

The four nine cities alone have been divided into so many forces, not to mention the Hunan Army Group that is highly valued outside, the vigilant Zuo Jigao in the northwest, and Xiao Letian on the sea and the great powers of Western countries. The entire Qing Dynasty has completely become a mess.

Under such a situation, people have the same party and the same attacks on differences, and there is no unified goal of ideological unity. Each person plays his own tune.

For the benefit of their own faction, they can even ignore the other party's good policies and destroy the situation, and make the good ZTE situation a more chaotic mud pond.

Everything should not be like this. In history, Tongzhi Zhongxing was originally a great victory for Cixi's faction, and then suppressed all dissatisfied forces, including the Japanese Liu Yi, who did not dare to stab her in front of her.

The Qing Dynasty was born under the personal dictatorship created by Cixi and prolonged her life for decades. Cixi was not a god who had the art of turning the world back. She was just a politician who knew how to balance and use centralization to suppress different opinions.

The prescription she could prescribe for the Qing Dynasty was just a bowl of ginseng soup. She tried every means to extend her lifespan for the Qing Dynasty, with only one goal. At least, it would be enough to not see the earth-shaking revolution before she died, and it would be enough to allow her to enjoy her life smoothly.

Unfortunately, Xiao Letian's emergence broke the dynasty that had already gradually taken shape. Cixi was defeated in front of Xiao Letian again and again, seriously destroying the political reputation she had accumulated before. Many people have already made little thoughts, and many people have begun to disagree with her.

Ci'an moved out of the Forbidden City, Yi? The Qing Dynasty, where his son Zaichun also left, went out to study. Now even the fifth master of the capital could not bear it anymore and tried to go out to do something.

Yi Qiong's drunken words kept lingering in Yang Zhi's ears, "Fifth Master, I don't want to be the emperor, whoever wants to do that position... I just think the court can't continue to do this! After destroying Sushun and others in the first few years, the court was really a bit revived, so I didn't want to take care of the matter too much!"

"Why did you go back more and more in the past two years? To be fair, I personally don't feel that power is concentrated on Cixi. After all, she is the biological mother of my prince's nephew. In order to entrust the situation for her son, it doesn't matter if she is a bit of autocracy..."

"But in recent years, what Cixi and Ci'an have done have become increasingly unreasonable! The war has been launched on Jingshan, and Xiao Letian has led his troops to Beijing. This embarrassing person has been thrown into grandma's house..."

"We can't let them continue to make trouble like this. I am the biological son of Emperor Xuan Zongcheng. I can't watch them continue to make trouble... Yang Zhi, you kid hold the power of the Xishan Banknote Printing Factory in your hands, and Li Tuo has a famous accountant from the Qing Dynasty. Please cooperate and pay me a lot of money. How much can you gather for me?"

After listening to the plan of Li Tuo and the Fifth Master, Yang Zhi was completely silly! He never expected that the Fifth Master was so hiding so deeply and had such a high level of knowledge.

"Yang Zhi! Actually, let me tell you two brothers the truth. The Qing Dynasty actually destroyed the country when Changmao was in trouble. I always feel that the inner demons in the court are so angry that they are actually just a dead corpse who occupy the dragon throne and refuses to let go..."

"Does Beijing still have control over the local area now? Bah... it has been gone long ago, Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Guangdong, Guangxi, and Two Lakes... Many places have become independent small kingdoms for the Han governors. In name, they are still the land of the Qing Dynasty, but the court can no longer control it!"

"Only the people are still stupid. They are too far away from the dragon throne, so from a distance, they are still showing the dragon power like a living person... But I have already seen it well that the person sitting on the dragon throne is not a living person at all, that is a dead person!"

"My ideal is actually very simple. Be the last life raft for the whole people... Don't there be life rafts on the foreigners' warships? I, Yiqian, will be the last life raft. When the sky collapses and the earth breaks, how much can you save!"

Note: Recently, many book friends are very anxious. The war is about to begin soon. In fact, I am anxious. I also want to start the war as soon as possible, but the preparations before the war must be done well, otherwise the subsequent plot will not be able to be carried out.

If the war between Russia and the Chinese people is an open and hot war, then everything that happens now is a secret and cold war, which is a preview and prelude to the real war.

All open and hot wars in human history actually did not appear out of thin air, but after countless secret confrontations, the two sides compromised, negotiated, balanced, and conflicts... until the end of the inability to achieve unity of interests, the accumulated hot wars and open wars broke out.

In fact, there are not many natural murderers in this world, who enjoy killing. Real politicians pay attention to interests. If they can use spy wars, financial wars, assassinations, small-scale border conflicts... they can achieve their expected goals with these small conflicts. Who will be able to eat enough to create a war?

In fact, on the surface, the war between Russia and the Chinese was triggered by the conflict between the Qingdao gold mine in the Far East. In fact, the reason for the outbreak of this bloody battle was that the balance between Asian forces was broken.

Once the balance between forces is broken, secret war will inevitably occur, and this will definitely not be changed by human power. If secret war and cold war cannot restore the balance between multiple forces, then the situation will escalate to hot wars and open wars!

This is the law of nature, which cannot be controlled by human power, so these plots are necessary. Although they occupy tens of thousands of words, they are absolutely useful.
