Eight hundred and fiftieth chapters get your wish
Is there any possibility of compromise between Prince Gong and Empress Dowager? The key is not King Gong and Empress Dowager, but Yuan Qi's attitude! In Yishizu's attitude! Zaiyuan saw this very thoroughly. As long as Yishizu did not have the intention to overthrow the court and did not have the desire to kill him, Prince Gong and Empress Dowager could not compromise with each other!
Now Yi Zhizu wants to be a peacemaker, which will lead to compromise and concessions between the two sides. This is a rare opportunity for him to lose his merits.
Realizing this, Zaiyuan was secretly happy and immediately said tentatively: "Brother Guocheng is asking him to go on and talk to the Queen Mother?"
"No," Yi Zhizu said, "I will send someone to persuade King Gong, but the only one who is the Queen Mother is suitable for King Yi to come forward."
After pondering for a moment, Zai Yuan said: "The unauthorized usurpation of military power is no different from treason. The Empress Dowager is afraid that she will not compromise easily..."
"If it is easy, why bother King Yi?" Yi Zhizu glanced at him and said slowly: "The King Gong usurped military power without authorization. This matter needs to be covered. If it is reported that it will damage the prestige of the court and the face of the empress dowager, you might as well just follow the flow and appoint King Gong as the general to conquer the Japanese. In this way, you can easily cover up the matter."
After hearing this, Zaiyuan hesitated and said, "I'm afraid the Empress Dowager can't swallow this..."
"I'm very clear about the situation in Japan at present." Yi Zhizu said: "King and the Monk King joined forces to control almost half of the Eight Banners New Army's troops in the Japanese, and it is inevitable to win the other half of the troops controlled by Yihuan. Once an internal strife broke out, Yihuan is definitely not the opponent of the Monk King. Yuan Qi could order King Gong to stop and let Yihuan lead his troops to evacuate from Osaka smoothly."
In other words, at the cost of saving half of the troops in the Japanese, King Gong was allowed to take control of the army and lead the troops to attack the Japanese. Will Ci'an agree to this condition? Zaiyuan put himself in his shoes and considered it. If he was transferred, he would definitely agree.
There is no reason to disagree. Once both sides fight in the Japanese battle, Yihuan is extremely likely to be defeated. Yihuan, who has no practical experience, is not the opponent of Senggelinqin, who has been in battle for a long time. What's more, it is difficult to protect Yuanqi from supporting the other party behind his back.
If you disagree, not only will it not only be able to preserve the more than 20,000 troops controlled by Yihuan, but the war may also spread to the capital. Once Yihuan, who had opened his face torn apart, he will inevitably return to Beijing, or directly usurp the throne, or force the early implementation of constitutionalism. At that time, Yuan Qi will not support it secretly, but may send large-scale troops to assist. If the situation really develops to this point, it will inevitably be out of control.
After a moment of silence, Zaiyuan said carefully: "The preparation period for constitutionalism is about to end, why should King Gong have another problem? He cannot implement constitutionalism smoothly?"
This is about King Gong, but in fact it refers to Yuan Qi. Yi couldn't help but smile, "The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop. This is a matter of no fault to King Gong..."
This was an hinting point to the Qingjun Society's plan to assassinate Yi Xin. Zaiyuan couldn't help but smiled bitterly. If he had known that the Qingjun Society had caused such a big mess, he would not have planned to be established at the beginning. I wonder if Ci'an would regret it.
After pondering for a moment, he said, "This matter is not to be covered. Even if the officers and soldiers of Osaka Castle don't know what's going on, the more than 10,000 officers and soldiers of Hirakata camp are clear about the whole story..."
"What's the reason?" Yi Zhizu said: "I'll get the edict, it's true and false, who dares to gossip? Besides, it's not a matter of attacking Japanese soldiers for a day or two. Those officers and soldiers will probably have to wait until the end of the year or the year will be over."
That night, Zaiyuan hurried back to the capital by train. This kind of thing was naturally not clear in the telegrams and memorials, and it had to be said in person.
The capital, the Forbidden City, the Hall of Peace and the East Warm Pavilion.
Ci'an was unintentionally reviewing the memoir. Sitting by the window, watching the scenery in the yard, Yixin secretly sneaked into Japan, and with the assistance of Senggelinqin, she controlled 16,000 troops in one fell swoop. This made her feel very difficult, just like tofu falling into a pile of ashes - she couldn't beat her.
Since Yi Xin has taken this step, it is obvious that comforting her will not change her mind. However, she cannot fight. One way, Yi Huan is no match for Senggelinqin, and even though Yuan Qi is guaranteed to be neutral, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not make any secret trouble.
Moreover, once the fight starts, there is no room for improvement, and she cannot predict what consequences it will cause. With Yuan Qi on the side, he will not allow internal strife in the court at all.
However, can she consider the overall situation from the overall situation? Will Yixin take into account the overall situation? Will Yixin be greedy and swallow up all the 40,000 New Banners Army in the Japanese?
In addition, once this matter spreads, it will be a huge blow to the prestige of the court. As the preparation period for constitutional establishment is over, the call for Yixin's regent to form a cabinet is increasing, and now such a thing has happened again...
"Report to the Empress Dowager." The eunuch, who was close to the servant, came in and reported softly: "Prince Yi Zaiyuan was handing out a sign to ask for a visit."
"Let him come in." Ci'an turned around and ordered that there were too many things these days, and she almost forgot Zaiyuan who was staying in Shanghai. However, she had not summoned Zaiyuan back to Beijing for a long time. She also considered that the matter in Japan would be properly resolved, and finally discussed with Yuan Qi, but she did not expect Zaiyuan to return to Beijing by herself. It seems that Yuan Qi finally couldn't hold back.
After entering the room and calling for Sheng'an, Zaiyuan stood up and knelt calmly outside the bead curtain. Then Ci'an heard Ci'an's gentle voice, "How did Yuanqi react?"
"Go back to the Empress Dowager." Zai Yuan said quickly: "Yi Shizu's attitude is very clear. He does not want internal strife. He tries his best to promote rational compromise between the two sides and peacefully resolve this matter."
Ci'an seemed not surprised by Yishi's attitude. In fact, she had thought about it carefully over the past few days. If Yuan Qi had deliberately added fuel to the fire, the matter would have been out of control. She said slowly: "Tell me in detail."
Zaiyuan immediately said Yi Shizui's thoughts in detail. After listening to them, Ci'an pondered for a while before saying, "What do you think about this?"
Zaiyuan said without hesitation: "When the Empress Dowager returns to the Empress Dowager, I think that once an internal strife breaks out, the variables are too great, so it is better to maintain stability for the time being."
Ci'an sighed inwardly. If there was an internal strife, it would be more than a big variable, and the situation would be out of control. Yuan Qi would definitely get involved. This is what she was most worried about. When Yihuan sent troops to attack Mei Fang, she disagreed because of this concern.
Just as she was about to speak, she heard a burst of rapid footsteps and immediately frowned. A eunuch on duty reported at the door in a panic: "Report to the Queen Mother--, Japan is urgently telegram."
When he heard that it was a Japanese telegram, Ci'an couldn't help but feel a sudden change. Could it be that something happened again? He immediately said: "Come on."
A unit of the Osaka Castle Kinji Camp mutinied, and General Yihuan was under house arrest!
After scanning the telegram at a glance, Ci'an couldn't help but be stunned and couldn't speak for a long time. Yi Xin's biggest reliance on entering the Japanese was not Senggelinqin, but had already installed a close friend next to Yi Huan, and could easily control Yi Huan anytime and anywhere!
This is really a good method and a good scheming! She bit her lower lip tightly. The Shenji Camp is known as the personal army of the emperor and is the most trusted direct force. She was actually infiltrated by Yi Xin. Will she suddenly attack one day and even the Empress Dowager, as she, was under house arrest!
What's even more difficult is that the situation in Japan is completely out of control! And it's extremely passive! Yihuan is controlled, and Yixin can take over all the 40,000 Eight Banners new troops in the Japanese anytime and anywhere. Before, Yixin controlled more than 10,000 troops from Mei Fang, and she could tolerate it. She swallowed all of the 40,000 troops, but she could not tolerate it.
It took a long time before she put down the telegram in her hand and said in a deep voice: "Give Yi Zhizu a call - you can't bear it anymore!"
Shanghai, Zhennan Wangfu, Changle Bookstore.
He casually forwarded the telegram to Zhao Liewen, and Yi Zhizu said: "Yi Xin and Su Shun plotted to usurp the military power in the Japanese. It was purely an accident that Senggelinqin went to Japan. I was thinking before that they should have other means besides Senggelinqin. It turned out that they had other means to install a close friend in the Shenji Camp. Unexpectedly, they controlled Yihuan in one fell swoop. It was really a good means and a good scheming!"
After reading the telegram, Zhao Liewen pondered for a while before saying, "Shenji Camp is known as the Emperor's personal army, and has always been controlled by the Empress Dowager's confidant ministers. It should not take a year or two to King Gong to install confidants in the Shenji Camp..."
Seeing that he wanted to speak but stopped, Yi contentedly said, "What are you doing hesitantly, but it's okay to say it."
Zhao Liewen carefully said: "At present, Prince Gong seems to be more difficult to deal with than the Empress Dowager. If he formed a cabinet after the constitution is established, it may not be a blessing for the country."
"Hui Fu is too worried." Yi Zhizu waved his hand, "King Gong is just a chess piece, and he can't make up the wind and waves."
As soon as the words were finished, Cao Gensheng quickly stepped in to report: "The big shopkeeper, the palace of Yangxin is in urgent need of electricity."
"read--."
"I can't bear it anymore!"
Yi Zhizu smiled, "The Queen Mother completely angered the Queen Mother."
"The Eight Banners New Army has only a total of 150,000. King Gong swallowed 40,000 in one bite, and it was equipped with 40,000 troops with the latest and most advanced weapons of Yuanqi. This can directly threaten the safety of the capital." Zhao Liewen said slowly: "In addition, once King Gong, who has 40,000 troops, returns to the capital, how can the Empress Dowager handle himself? How can he not be angry?"
After a pause, he continued, "Is this move of King Gong intended to force the court to make concessions? Or is it that the 20,000 troops who were willing to take over Yihuan?"
After lit a cigarette, Yi Zhizu said slowly: "King Gong is not confused. He knows very well that without my consent, he cannot swallow the 20,000 people. This move is not only to force the court to compromise, but also to test me."
After pondering for a moment, he said, "I called back to the Queen Mother and Yuanqi guaranteed that Yihuan's troops could return to Beijing safely. This matter has a great impact. Please issue an order to convict Yihuan and escort back to Beijing."
After hearing this, Zhao Liewen couldn't help but laugh, convicted Yihuan and escorted him back to Beijing, and it was natural that Yixin took over as the general of the attack on the Japanese.
"Give Hirokata a call." Yi Zhizu continued: "Too much is not too much."
After a pause, he continued: "Give Fukuoka a call, transfer Osaka Yihuan's headquarters to conquer the four countries, and send Yihuan back to China with gifts."
The capital, the Forbidden City, the Hall of Peace and the East Warm Pavilion.
After receiving Yi Zhizu's call, Ci'an breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the house arrest of Yi Huan was not Yuan Qi, but she was a little worried. It was obvious that the whole incident had been under Yuan Qi's control, or that Yuan Qi had been manipulating it.
After sighing, she wrote a decree and awarded Yihuan a false charge, ordered her to be dismissed from office and escorted back to Beijing, and ordered Yixin to take over as the general.
When the Military Affairs Office saw the eunuch's electric decree, a big rock hanging in Sushun's heart was finally put down. These days he was also unable to sleep or eat. He was worried that Yi Xin would fail, and he was worried that it would cause internal conflicts. He was out of control. He was inexplicably anxious.
Now that Yi Huan is convicted and escorted back to Beijing, Yi Xin takes over the position of general. It can be said that the whole thing is not as complete as possible. He suddenly feels relaxed and ordered: "In quadruple, we will send it to the Prince's Mansion of Zhennan in Shanghai, Fukuoka Daying, Osaka Daying, Hiraka Daying!"
Japan, Hirakaga, Qing army camp, Central Army tent.
Yixin sighed lightly, forwarded the telegram to Senggelinqin, and said in a lossy tone: "This is not allowed to get involved in Osaka's soldiers."
The telegram is very simple, just four words - too much is not enough. Senggelinqin glanced at it and said, "Since both sides want to compromise, it is naturally too much is not enough. It's better to not want the troops in Osaka, but it's hard for us to make the troops in Shenji Camp return. It's better to recruit new recruits separately."
Yi Xin looked at him without saying a word, recruiting new recruits, and said lightly that the 40,000 troops in Japan were the military commanders of the court, and all the food and money could be justified. If the army was expanded and recruited, the court could not allocate food and money. He could not pay for the private money to recruit soldiers and raise soldiers? Even if he sold the palace, how much could he expand his army? Relying on Yuan Qi, then he would breathe.
Just as he was thinking, the communications soldier quickly stepped in and submitted a telegram, but Ci'an's telegram arrived. After reading the telegram, he showed a smile on his face. Although the troops were a little less, they finally got what they wanted.
Seeing that the power of the electricity did not mention him at all, Senggelinqin breathed a sigh of relief and quickly bowed to congratulate him, "Congratulations to Master Six, you have got what you want."
"It's a pity that it's not perfect." Yi Xin said with some regret, and then ordered: "I told the whole army to celebrate for three days!"

Yi Zhizu yawned and stretched comfortably. Yi Xin's usurpation of military power was solved so successfully. He was extremely satisfied. Yi Xin's current military strength was a little weak, but after conquering Japan, it was no problem to expand to 30,000 or 40,000 troops. With these 30,000 to 40,000 troops, the implementation of constitutionalism will undoubtedly be much smoother.
Seeing him looking slackened, Zhao Liewen smiled and said, "From this matter, the Empress Dowager is quite conscious of the general principles."
