605 The Prince Fights
Cixi was angry with her son, Ci'an was having an affair with the third master of Qing, the new army in the city was cleaning up the thugs, and the nine-gate admirals of the court and the yamen runners of Shuntian Prefecture all became corpses.
The whole city fell into a sleepless night, and the same Qing nobles gathered together to endure this night.
"Two princes, now the royal family is dominated by you. If Xiao Letian is so threatening the court, there is no way for everyone. Two brothers, brother, I am young and can't afford to take on the Qing Dynasty. Wouldn't I have to rely on you two?"
"But now, look at what the fuss is like. Meile's army is defeated, the chief general is killed, Li Hongzhang's Huai army also fled, and the last 10,000 elite troops in the capital are lost... Let's see the flag of Xiao character flying on Guangqu Gate. Is this country still the Qing Dynasty?"
"I have said a long time ago that we can't fight with these Western devils. If we can't beat them with big swords and spears, we want to learn foreign guns. They are the ancestors of playing foreign guns. Have we ever played them? Isn't this arrogance to attack others' strengths with one's own shortcomings..."
With a bang, Prince Gong Yi slammed the table and shouted angrily, "Yi Li, you really stand and speak without any pain in your back. You are all in your mind. Why don't you see you if you really come up with an idea?"
"You are also a dignified Prince Heshuo, and you will also wear an iron hat in the future. So you can come up with an idea and what should we do." Yi? His hands were so angry that they trembled.
Prince Qing Yili, who is also the great-grandson of Emperor Qianlong, is the famous Hong Prince in Sijiu City, and is of the same generation as Yihuan and Yi. Relying on his age, he is only 25 years old and is the most rogue prince in the capital.
In history, Yi Li had a bad reputation. He was the best at selling official positions and titles. He also used the right kindness to flatter Cixi. He was considered one of the most greedy princes in the late Qing Dynasty.
"If I ask me to come up with an idea, who is afraid of whom? Then Xiao Letian will play with the sky fire, which means that he is the reincarnation of the Western Fire Demon. We have to ask the Taoist priests from the Sanqing Palace to borrow the water from the East China Sea to destroy him. It is obviously a demonic magic, but you still want to use the Western foreign guns to fight against it. Isn't this stupid?"
At this time, Duluo County Prince Yi Zong also came to the verge of "No, brother, what you said is wrong. Since Xiao Letian can gain a foothold in Ryukyu in the East China Sea and is also known as Prime Minister Xiao of the East China Sea, this means that he occupies water in the five elements. His heavenly fire is not heavenly fire at all, it is the dragon fire in the East China Sea Dragon Palace. How can you use the East China Sea water to exterminate it?"
When Yi Li heard this, "Yes, my brother reminded me, then I will ask the monk from Mount Wutai to take action and invite the water in the mutton fat jade bottle of Guanyin Bodhisattva to destroy it. This time it will be fine."
Prince Duoluo didn’t know what to do today, so he insisted on arguing, “No, is Guanyin Bodhisattva’s temple in Putuo Mountain, Mount Wutai is Manjushri Bodhisattva’s temple, you borrowed the wrong one…”
"Oh, my brother is having sex with me today, why do you always argue with me?"
"What does it mean to raise a quarrel? If you want me to say it, you have to ask folk abilities to fight against Xiao Letian. I, Yanqing Zhuang, have an altar to burn incense. Those senior brothers and younger sisters are so powerful. The bird guns are on the belly and can't even be fired through... Brother, I'm not a nonsense. I saw it with my own eyes. If it's fake, I immediately snatch my eyes out as a cannon..."
"No, you believe it if you are in the world. That's all a trick, so you have to ask the monks and Taoists to go..."
"You're just farting. I'll see with my own eyes that there's still something wrong with me. If you're going to be evil with my brother, I'll be careful and I'll beat you..."
"Oh, who is afraid of whom... fuck you to death." Yi Li was just a young and generous age. When he heard someone challenge, he couldn't hold Huo and rushed forward and they started to have a big Mongolian wrestling.
Now the war in Prince Gong's mansion was about to start. The two princes wrestled together and rolled on the ground like mud and water pigs. They bumped into a row of tables and chairs, and finally knocked the study rooms away. The two rolled into the garden to fight.
They are all relatives of the royal family, so the other princes and princes, Beile, can't watch it, and they all rushed up to fight, but some people were very slapped. They pulled people from their hands and feet and secretly made bad things. Anyway, no one saw them in the dark, right?
Yi? and Yihuan were sitting on the chair of the Grand Master, and they had no strength to curse. "This is our royal family, this is the descendants of Aisin Gioro. They are not good, they are really not good... Forget it, I have nothing to worry about. Just do this Qing Dynasty, just do whatever you like..."
Yi? grabbed the cover bowl and smashed it, and he shouted, "Let them fight, fight to death, send it early, die early, and save worry."
The roar shocked everyone in the garden and the people in the fight were silent. They stopped fighting and cursed, and stood in awkwardly.
"Our only task now is to invite Xiao Letian out. It is definitely not possible to use force. The soldiers in the capital are no longer used, and the soldiers in the distance cannot save the near fire... What's even more terrible is that Xiao Letian takes Ci'an's imperial edict to talk about things, so we can't move."
"If this monster doesn't leave, our country will be over. Only by sending this plague god away can we train new recruits and fight against him. From today on, no one will tell me any traitors such as monks and masters, or diving gods... The emperor is almost kidnapped by Xiao Letian, and you still say these useless words."
"Come here, take my post and invite the Ermao Manager in the palace. Now he is the only one who can pass the message to us... I have seen through it, and I hope you will be useless to do anything."
It’s true that Cao Cao is here. Before Prince Gong’s post has left the mansion, the outer sect supervisor has already run in panting, “Prince…Prince…Prince…Prince Ermao’s General Manager in the palace is coming to pay homage, and Ermao’s General Manager is coming to pay homage.”
"Come in quickly, I'll see him in Ledao Hall." Ledao Hall is Prince Gong Yi? His daily life, and being able to meet Ermao here has proved the importance of Ermao to them.
A row of lanterns led Ermao to Ledaotang. The eunuch who led the way did not dare to stand straight in front of Ermao. Now Ermao is already vaguely the leader of the eunuch in the palace. With the support of Xiao Letian, the godfather, even the empress dowager dared not offend Ermao.
The eunuchs in the palace were originally lower than those in the palace, and the identity of Ermao made them even more frightened. The group of eunuchs was very slight and they were very sensitive to power. Being charming the superiors and bullying the subordinates was their life creed. Such people were not even as good as dogs when they met Ermao now.
"Master Ermao... You raise your feet high, yes, yes, be careful of the puddles... Look at your nobleness in walking, it's so expensive. No wonder you can be the chief manager at a young age. We are beyond our reach. Please support us in the future."
"It would be a great deal of shame to see you in Ledaotang. On weekdays, the prince's living place is not seen outsiders. Today, he treats the general manager as his own... Be careful of the willow treetops, don't be stubborn..."
He finally reached the door of Ledaotang with compliments. Ermao was domineering and raised his hand and spread the Mexican eagle that the Prime Minister had cast on his hands. "The monkey boys are very sweet, I'll give you some tea."
"Oh, General Manager Xie has been enjoying tea and kowtowed to General Manager..." Ermao threw at least forty or fifty oceans out, and rolled around on the stone road with a slam. The eunuchs chased after them like dogs.
At this time, the Mexican Eagle Ocean had penetrated into the commercial network of the capital. People were already familiar with the foreign money of this kind. It was exquisitely cast, equal weight, and had a high silver content. Many people collected a few pieces to the bottom of the box.
The merchants love to check out customers with Yingyang. When you drink tea and go to the restaurant to check out, you need to use a few such Yingyang. It is better to have the face and be more face-saving. It is no problem to give a 10% discount.
After getting the money, it must be a little innovative. The leading eunuch said carefully, "Master, the princes in the study just now came to a meeting. Prince Qing said that he would invite the monks and Taoists to use Tianshui to destroy the Prime Minister's Tianhuo. You have to let the Prime Minister be careful."
Ermao laughed out loud, and he was still a monk and an old monk. What kind of help is there to be such a fool? But I like this kind of person who is traitorous and worth cultivating.
Ermao casually pulled out a stack of paper from his cuff and stuffed it to him, "Very good. If you have more news in the future, tell me that you will benefit. If you go back to Lotte Foreign Company for silver coins. You can trust the reputation of my manager Ermao."
The eunuch looked at the silver notes he didn't know, a little worried and worried. How could he use fake silver notes to deceive people? He quickly put them away.
"Look at what the manager said, even if you give me a piece of toilet paper, I have to pay it to my ancestral grave. How can I not believe you?" As he said that, the money ticket was stuffed into his cuffs.
At this time, the lights in the Ledao Hall were brightly lit. Prince Gong specially prepared a table of simple wine and food to show his sincerity, and there were only the two of them in the room.
"Please pay tribute to the prince..." Ermao smiled and called a thousand.
"Come on, please get up quickly. You are also a eunuch of the grade. Come and sit down." Yi? He was so polite that he didn't have a conflict with Xiao Letian.
After three rounds of drinking, the two went straight to the point. Prince Gong asked, "I don't know what Prime Minister Xiao has taught me."
Ermao bowed and said, "The Prime Minister only has one sentence, 'Support him, and finally give you the system of the Eight Kings' discussions.' Godfather said that he did it."
With a bang, Yi hit the chair and stood up. "How can he guarantee that Xiao Letian? The ancestral system of the Eight Kings' Discussions was abolished during the Shunzhi period. It has been more than 200 years. He said he would recover and he would think he was a god."
Ermao ignored the prince's surprise and gently put down his wine glass. "My prime minister said that the Eight Kings' political discussion is actually a very advanced system. In fact, the basic principles of the European aristocratic parliament are the same. Even the United Kingdom now has a noble parliament..."
"It is not easy to control a country, and it is impossible not to concentrate on your mind. The noble parliament is to gather the strength of all elites to discuss state affairs. How can a few people decide the fate of such a large country?"
"Look at this unsuccessful palace transformation. It is this excessive centralization that triggered the political adventures of the Queen Mother Citizen. In order not to happen again in the future, my prime minister said that the Qing Dynasty urgently needed to restore the tradition of the Eight Kings' political discussions in the past... As long as the prince nods, my prime minister will personally discuss the details with you."
Prince Gong knew that Ermao was not joking, so he heard the determination in his words, and his legs were weak and the Japanese were limp on the chair.
