Xuande Gate Street, inside Prince Liqin's residence.
Prince Duan Zaiyi, Prince Qing Yi, and Prince Li Shiduo were gathered together.
"Humph! A brat still wet behind the ears dares to start a war with France and put those Han people in an important position. This time, he suffered a defeat. I heard that Li Hongzhang went to negotiate peace with the French and even proposed a compensation condition. I want to see how he will end this!”
Zai Yi said with a smile as she poured a cup of fragrant spring water down her throat.
"Yes, the imperial court is now filled with Old Seventh's people. Old Liu is not seen, and Aisin Gioro's empire is about to be given away by them. At such a young age, you haven't seen the world. Do you really think you can control everything?”
Prince Qing shook his head, clearly very dissatisfied.
" Humph, he hasn't even grown a full cup of wine yet. Those newspapers praised him to the heavens, but he didn't dare to do much serious work. He only did things to torment the Westerners. I think the Qiang Bing has become stronger. The factories he runs have been transferred quite a lot. Last month, the Ministry of Internal Affairs received three million taels of silver, and the silver was piled up like Xiao Shan.”
Zaiyi pursed her lips and a hint of greed flashed across her face. He wanted to learn from Li Ye and run a factory, but unfortunately, he did not have the corresponding talents. He had lost a lot of money in less than two months.
King Liqin indeed glared at Zaiyi and said with a serious expression,""It's understandable that the Emperor is accumulating wealth. Every generation of emperors are like this. But I heard that you've been very close to the White Lotus Society recently? There were also some people called the Yihe Fist?”
Zai Yi smiled sweetly." Those people are invulnerable. They do have some tricks up their sleeves. I'm just using them."”
Greed's eyes flickered. It was obvious that he felt uncomfortable when the force he had secretly cultivated was exposed.
"The emperor is young and covets fame and fortune. It's fine if he doesn't understand these things, but don't you also learn some dubious things and ruin your ancestral family for a little bit of profit.”
Prince Liqin Shiduo saw that he was being vague and did not probe further.
"Lord Eight, take a look. Is this still our Manchu territory?”Zaiyi was clearly not convinced.
"That's also a matter for us Manchurians! He thought…no matter what, he couldn't rely too much on these evil sects!”
Shi Duo's face darkened as he reprimanded. However, it was obvious that something had been exposed. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and immediately changed the topic.
Zaiyi and Yi Nao's eyes flashed, but they didn't say anything.
"What about the one in the west?"
Shiduo saw that Ling Ren already knew a little about his inner thoughts, so he didn't care. Who didn't have some thoughts? So what if there was no evidence of the century?
During the Xianfeng period, when Cixi communicated with her younger brother, Yeh Nala Guixiang, Yi Yi often held the pen for her. Although Yi Yi had no knowledge, he wrote well, so he was deeply favored by Cixi.
"How could there be news from the Empress Dowager? King Liqin, with your prestige in the Imperial Clan, you can talk to the people in the east and ask them to discipline the Emperor."
Yi Ran shook his head. Cixi was under house arrest, so he had no chance to deliver the letter.
"The Empress Dowager is now eating vegetarian food and praying to Buddha every day. She said that the emperor is in charge and asked me to look for him.”
King Liqin shook his head and sighed.
"I don't care about the east, I can't care about the west, so I'm just going to mess around and lose our country?”Zaiyi gulped down a mouthful of wine. She couldn't vent her anger just thinking about it, so she threw the wine jar on the ground…
In the study room of the East Warm Pavilion.
" Your Majesty, King Liqin and the others didn't come today…" Zuo Zongtang had been feeling that something was wrong recently. The change of the Eight Banners was too obvious. It was not a change of defense but a change of people.
However, it stopped not long ago.
"Hmph, they also know the power of the new army and don't dare to act rashly!”Li Ye snorted coldly. With those people's intelligence, anyone could find something wrong with them.
Li Ye guessed that they had all wanted to make some moves, but seeing that Li Ye had taken back his military power quickly, they didn't have any other thoughts.
Since the fox had revealed its tail, even if he suppressed it, the restlessness in his heart would explode sooner or later.
"What does the emperor mean?" Zuo Zongtang didn't dare to make any random suggestions. After all, this was an internal matter of the royal family.
"Zhen will kill a few people in a few days and force them to force themselves! If you don't, then let's wait a little longer."
He had already killed a batch of people with noble status, and in a few days, he would have to deal with another batch with the Corrupted Officials.
Li Ye did not want to force them to rebel so quickly. Now that the other party was clearly not fully prepared, they would only be able to dig out shallow roots in advance.
Killing a few was definitely not the result he wanted!
If he killed all of them, perhaps there would be some good people who were killed by mistake, but there would definitely be thousands of people who deserved to die.
The longer they endured, the more roots there would be. Once they were pulled out, it would be clean.
If you want to do it, do it big!
"Emperor, do you want to increase the guards of Gong Zhong?"“
When Zuo Zongtang heard this, he could not help but feel a chill down his spine. He quickly suggested…
Two hundred miles away from Xinghua City, there was a mountainous area.
Ever since the Black Flag Army retreated from Shanxi, their days had not been good.
The territory that they had been managing for many years had been lost. Without food, they could only starve in the mountains. Most of their weapons had also been lost. Not to mention cannons and machine guns, even the ammunition for handguns was pitifully small. The key was that many soldiers were injured and could not be treated because of the lack of medicinal herbs. Li Wenbin was in such a situation.
"Big brother, the dog has caused us such a miserable situation. We can't stay in Annan anymore. Why don't we go back to Guangxi and rebel?”
Huang Shouzhong fiercely chopped off a tree branch that was as thick as a bowl in front of him and said angrily.
He had been in the Taiping Army before, so he was not afraid of rebelling again.
"That's right! If we create another Heaven and Earth Society, the whole world will definitely respond to us. Guangdong has recently caused trouble with the revolutionary party. Those people have the support of the Japanese. The Qing dogs will definitely not care about us!”
Lu Sicheng followed Liu Yongfu out of the Heaven and Earth Society, so he naturally remembered that period of history.
" If I wanted to rebel, I would have done so a long time ago. Why would I wait until today? Besides, Qing Gou's fate is not over yet. The Taiping Army is like this, the White Lotus Society is like this, and the recent little Emperor is still popular.“
Liu Yongfu sighed. Now that the French had increased their troops, Annan had fallen, and they had suffered heavy losses, they really did not know what to do.
