Chapter seven hundred and sixty fourth calm down

This is too far-fetched, because this sentence can assert that Yi Zhizu will not rebel? Xianfeng obviously did not believe it, but he was really lucky to Yi Zhizu. With Yuan Qi's strength, Yi Zhizu neither raised troops to cause trouble nor became a king. It was extremely unreasonable, and it was inevitable that he would not be lucky.

Although Yi Xin's words are a bit far-fetched, it is reasonable to think about it. Yi Quezu was born in the first year of Daoguang and was already in his forties. Naturally, it is impossible for him to live another fifty years. More importantly, Yi Quezu was already in his forties, and he had no military strength and opportunity. On the other hand, does it mean that he really did not want to cause trouble?

After pondering for a moment, he said in a steady tone: "Switch on."

"Emperor." Yi Xin said slowly: "Yi Zhizu's foresight ability is amazing. This is beyond doubt. Putting aside this point, Yi Zhizu has never known Concubine Yi and Concubine Yi, and there is no hatred. Concubine Yi cannot threaten Yuan Qi, nor can he threaten Yi Zhizu. Why did he insist on killing Concubine Yi? This is entirely out of public intention!

Through this incident, we can get a glimpse of Yi Zhizu's thoughts. He hopes that the court will be stable. In other words, Yuan Qi will not cause trouble, at least for the moment. I personally think that if the court can take the initiative to ease the relationship with Yuan Qi, Yi Zhizu may not be able to rebel for the rest of his life. Judging from this telegram, he hopes that the Qing Dynasty will survive forever."

These words reminded Xianfeng that although Yi Zhizu's telegram was too much, it was out of public aspirations. What is commendable is that he had this attitude! Thinking of this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Over the years, Yuan Qi has been like a huge rock pressing on his heart. He arranged his funeral afterwards. What he was most worried about was Yuan Qi.

Instead, he thought that Yi Zhizu's foresight ability was indeed amazing, especially when deploying the Northwest strategy, he was deeply impressed. The Qing Dynasty's ability to expand in the Northwest depends entirely on its accurate predictions, and the same was true for the Battle of Tianjin and Beijing. Britain and France were led by Yi Zhizu and pulled it step by step into the encirclement of Tianjin and Beijing.

However, all the things can be explained, but Concubine Yi’s incident was a bit incredible. He pointed to the telegram, and Yixin quickly submitted the telegram.

The jade bead curtain was in the fifty spring, and the people were hugged and clashed three times in the dynasty. The Qing Dynasty lasted for fifty years, and the emperors of three generations were puppets. This is very clear, which refers to the heroine's dynasty for fifty years and established a young king for three years, which led to the Qing Dynasty's demise for only fifty years after him.

After returning, Su Shunzhe knelt behind Yi Xin, kowtowed a few times, and said in a deep voice: "Emperor, the pearl curtain is coming to the court. Within fifty years, Sanli Youjun, this kind of thing is never allowed to happen. Even if it is a slight possibility, it must be eliminated..."

Yi Xin kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, for the sake of the Qing Dynasty, you would rather kill in vain or incorrectly, and you must eliminate future troubles forever. I beg you to pray for the emperor to be careful."

This is forcing the palace! Xianfeng was a little angry. He was not dead yet, so he forced him to kill his concubine. After he died, he left the orphan and widowed mother but didn't know how to bully him? He looked at the two people lying on the ground coldly, and kept their mouths tightly without saying a word.

The atmosphere in the room became solemn in an instant. Yi Xin and Su Shun immediately felt like a thorn in their backs, and they were extremely uneasy. At this moment, Mian Yu entered the bedroom and knelt down and said, "Mian Yu respectfully invite the emperor to be safe." He stood up and realized that the atmosphere in the hall was not right. He couldn't help but be alert, and hurriedly stepped forward and knelt in a row with Yi Xin.

Xianfeng was silent for a while before saying, "Let him see the telegram."

When he saw the telegram, Mian Yu couldn't help but complain that he could not get rid of this matter anyway. If Xianfeng was angry, they would probably not be able to get any of them. He couldn't help but complain that Yi Shi was content. Is it necessary to make things so undisputed? Xianfeng's condition improved significantly, so he could not do it slowly?

He knew that this matter could not be concealed, so he immediately took off his top and put it on the ground, kowtowed a few more times, and told the matter as it was.

When Zaichun was full moon, Yi Zhizuo reminded him kindly. Xianfeng was also shocked and said silently after a while: "Why don't you repay this?"

Mian Yu immediately looked bitter, how to report? Concubine Yi gave birth to the eldest prince and was favored. He dared to report truthfully. He was afraid that the grass on the grave would be tall. He kowtowed quickly and said, "I deserve to die most."

After hearing this, Yi Xin and Su Shun felt relieved. Xianfeng's tone obviously relaxed. Yi Xin did not dare to hesitate and hurriedly said: "When Emperor Wu of Han established a crown prince, he appointed a son to kill his mother. Later generations praised and criticized this more and less. Besides, the court also needed to take care of his easily contented face... The Military Affairs Office sent directly to the telegram is probably not hidden."

He didn't say it thoroughly, but Xianfeng understood that if he did not kill Concubine Yi, the relationship between Yuanqi and the court would inevitably deteriorate, and if it was serious, it might even intensify Yishizuo's rebellion. If he did not want to leave a situation for his son that could not be cured, he would have to sacrifice Concubine Yi.

In fact, when Su Shun presented the seal system in the morning, he had the idea of ​​getting rid of Concubine Yi, but he couldn't make up his mind. It was not because he cared about the relationship between husband and wife, but because he couldn't bear to have his son Zaichun lost his mother since he was a child like him. Now it seems that he can't protect him. At this point, leaving Concubine Yi will inevitably lead to endless troubles.

After a while of silence, he whispered: "Issue the Imperial Concubine Yi, Nara, violated the ancestral system and discussed the government's affairs... and was sentenced to death." After saying this, he seemed to be much more relaxed. He knew his nature very well and knew that he could not hesitate or delay this matter, otherwise he would be shaken.

After calling the eunuch in charge to use the seal, Xianfeng pondered for a while before saying, "Yi Xin, Su Shun, follow the supervisor."

Shanghai, Zhennan Wangfu, Changle Bookstore.

As dusk approached, Yi Zhizu was about to go back to the backyard, Cao Gensheng rushed over with brisk steps and said, "Big shopkeeper, Beijing Telegram."

There were two telegrams, Yixin and Sushun each sent one, but the meaning was the same. They personally supervised the death of Concubine Yi Nara.

Finally getting rid of this disaster, Yi Zhizuo breathed a sigh of relief. After signing the telegram, he sent Cao Gensheng out of the room with ease. Although he was sure that even if the Nara family was not dead, it would be difficult to rule the country from behind the curtain and control the court, the existence of this woman would inevitably become the biggest obstacle to the imperial court's implementation of the constitution of the Void King. If it is eliminated, it will be much easier for the constitution of the Void King.

Just two days later, at 8 a.m. on July 17, Yi Zhizu had just entered the yard of Changle Bookstore. Zhao Liewen and Cao Gensheng hurriedly chased after him, "Prince, the emperor has passed away!"

So fast? Yi Zhizuo couldn't help but be stunned. He heard that Xianfeng's condition had stabilized. He estimated that it might delay it for several months or even one or two years, and even ten or half a month if it was not good. Unexpectedly, Xianfeng died just two days later. Fortunately, he took action in time and did not wait and see. Otherwise, if Xianfeng died, he would have been more troublesome to get rid of the Nara clan.

The telegram was sent by Yi Xin. He simply used the telegram as a letter, detailing the situation and personnel arrangements of Xianfeng before his death. Xianfeng died suddenly, which was beyond everyone's expectations. It was normal on the morning of July 16, but he suddenly fainted in the afternoon. After awakening in the evening, he issued two decrees, both of which had been prepared.

First, he appointed the eldest son of the emperor Zaichun as the crown prince.

The second is to appoint Yixin, Mianyu, Zaiyuan, Duanhua, Sushun, Wenxiang, Du Han and Kuang Yuan as ministers to praise all government affairs.

Finally, Yixin asked in the telegram when it is appropriate to implement the constitution of the Void King?

After pondering for a while, Yi Zhizu said: "I call back to King Gong. The Xujun should not be eager to achieve success in his constitution. The most urgent task is to formulate a constitution that conforms to the national conditions first. Western countries have prepared constitutions for a long time. Although they can be learned from them, they should not be copied and discussed. The constitution of a country must be in line with the actual situation of their own country."

As he said that, he looked at Zhao Liewen, "The rules that should be followed by the emperor's death, but there is no need to be restrained in the public concession. In addition, if you continue to give orders, you will not see guests today."

The two of you who waited for retreat, Yi Zhizuo lit a cigarette. Xianfeng died. He was somewhat sad. In his opinion, Xianfeng should be the most miserable emperor in the Qing Dynasty so far. Since the Emperor ascended the throne, wars and famines have been continuously. He reigned for twelve years, but there were not many years of peace, which was due to Yuanqi.

He didn't have much disgust with Xianfeng. In his opinion, Xianfeng was more radical than Daoguang. At least Daoguang would not have carried out reforms and implemented new policies so boldly. Of course, for him, the ascension of the new king Zaichun, who was only six years old, was more beneficial to him for Yuanqi and the Qing Dynasty.

At present, Yi Xin and Sushun have become reformists under his influence. Moreover, reform and reform and implementation of the new policy were carried out during Xianfeng's reign. It can be said that the current situation is very good, reform and reform and reform, and the new policy have become the mainstream and no one can stop it.

As for the court in the capital, he is not in a hurry to intervene now. He waits and sees for a while before talking. Yixin is well-behaved and knows that the call is coming at the first time. This is actually a gesture. Sushun is far from this. However, Sushun wins in his determination to innovate and be brave to do things. He is a rare candidate for reform and implementing the new policy.

In the blink of an eye, it is late autumn, and cotton picking has come to an end. Yi Zhizu also focuses on the cotton dominance. The American civil war is in full swing, and the scale of war between the north and the south has gradually escalated. Both sides have begun to recruit soldiers on a large scale, gradually shifting from limited war to full-scale war.

However, this war does not seem to have a big impact on the European cotton market. Not only is the cotton market not short of stock, but the cotton prices have not risen, and futures, bonds, etc. are also lukewarm.

On this day, Jie Xiuyuan hurriedly walked into Yi Zhizu's study with a telegram, bowed his hand and said, "Big Shopkeeper, this is a telegram sent by Hu Xueyan from London." As he said that, he handed the telegram up.

Hu Xueyan introduced the situation of the European cotton market in the telegram, mentioning that Britain and France and the American Confederate formed a large smuggling fleet. The Northern Federation was useless for the southern coastal blockade. He also said that many speculative cotton merchants in Europe were disappointed with the prospect of cotton and sold their spot and securities.

Seeing Yi Zhizuo put down the telegram, Jie Xiuyuan said slowly: "Big shopkeeper, we have invested huge amounts of money in cotton. If the Northern Navy fleet cannot effectively blockade, the prospects for cotton will be really worrying. Should we also sell some of it?"

"There is a famous saying in the financial market." Yi Zhizu said slowly: "When others are afraid, I am greedy."

Xie Xiuyuan was stunned, "What does the big shopkeeper mean to do the opposite?" After a slight pause, he continued: "The big shopkeeper should be very clear about the naval strength of the northern American states. If an effective blockade cannot be formed, with our financial strength, we will not be able to dominate the market at all."

"I have analyzed before that what affects the export of southern cotton to Europe is not only the coastal blockade of the northern navy, but also the South itself." Yi Zhizuo said calmly without any haste and said in a calm tone: "War is money, and the South is the plantation economy, which cannot support a long-term large-scale war.

What will the South do when the South realizes that the war will escalate and it is a long time to go? They will forcefully demand that Britain and France intervene to end the war as soon as possible. What measures will the South take when Britain and France have already expressed neutrality?

In addition to issuing bonds in the European financial market, we can only threaten them and use cotton to threaten them. For Britain and France, cotton in the south is indispensable, and this is actually the confidence that the south dares to provoke war on its own initiative."

Speaking of this, he slowly said: "Don't worry, the South will soon start to restrict cotton exports to threaten Britain and France to support them. Britain, France and other countries will definitely interfere in disguise. For the Qing Dynasty, this is a rare show. We must calm down and enjoy it slowly."

Keep calm? Jie Xiuyuan was speechless for a while. Yuan Qi almost suppressed his belongings. Once he made a mistake in his judgment, the consequences would be unimaginable. How could he keep calm? European cotton speculators lost their confidence. This master was very confident and really didn't know where his confidence came from.

However, he knew the nature of this master. There was no possibility of change in what he had identified. He pondered for a moment and said tactfully: "Yuanqi is now in good development momentum. There is no need to take this strange risk. It is better to invest less. If there is anything wrong, it will not hurt the bones..."

Yi Zhizu glanced at him and said, "Do you know how much the cost of an iron-clad ship is? A large ship costs millions of taels of silver. How much does it cost to build a fleet? At least 30 to 50 million taels of silver. How much does it cost to popularize new learning in a year? How much does it cost to build a railway in a year?

Yes, with Yuanqi's current development momentum, it will be able to survive within a few years. However, Yuanqi's shareholders are unwilling to endure, and I am not willing to endure. More importantly, through cotton dominance, we can severely attack the European financial industry. If such a rare opportunity is spared in vain, it will be detrimental to us in the future. This is what is said, if God does not take it, it will be blamed."
