Chapter 310: After the outside, you have to be safe
This great army is not only the army of the great empire in the East, but also the only army of God on earth. It is sacred and inviolable! - Excerpted from the "Regular Bible", the Catholic Reformation Leading Group.
.............
On March 21, 1918, the great emperor's personal army commander and the admiral, Eunuch Wei, held an extremely important meeting on an unknown river bank southeast of Luotuling.
Because this place is formed by the convergence of three small rivers, later generations also called this meeting the "Three Rivers Conference".
The background of the Sanhe Conference was that since most of the Jianzhou reactionary group headed by Nurhaci was surrounded and Hetuala had also changed its banner and liberated, Eunuch Wei, who coordinated the Pingnu war and personally directed it on the front line, judged the situation and believed that a meeting should be held to be held for the unified participation of the Pingnu ministries to further clarify the next action.
Whether it is military or political, the main tone of this meeting was actually the aftermath issue at the beginning.
However, before the meeting was officially held, Li Yanzhao, the chief of staff of the coalition forces, proposed in a secret meeting of the Emperor's personal army base that the Pingnu divisions should be integrated at this meeting, so that they should be unified under the emperor's personal army, and unified under the command of Eunuch Wei. In this way, it can be ensured that Eunuch Wei can be invincible after the war.
This remark that only a few people know is really terrifying.
The reason why Li Yanzhao first advocated it was because two days ago, people from the capital secretly arrived in the army from Shenyang, and this person brought a very reliable information.
With the support of Empress Wang, Sun Xian, the eunuch in charge of the seal of the inner court, drove the concubine who had been serving the sick emperor back to Yikun Palace. Empress Wang personally went to Qianqing Palace to live with His Majesty the Emperor, and no longer isolated China and abroad. Yundong Palace and court officials regularly met with the emperor.
It is reported that Concubine Zheng was unwilling to leave the Qianqing Palace at first. Although Sun Xian forced him, he did not dare to go too far. At the stalemate, Empress Wang personally came to argue with the Concubine for several words. The Concubine was speechless and left with tears on her face.
Li Yanzhao didn't know the details of the matter because he only heard the number of words of the person, but these words made Li Yanzhao feel a crisis, so he had this secret meeting.
...........
Eunuch Wei himself also felt the crisis. The one who came from the capital was not someone else, but his good partner, close comrade-in-arms, Li Yongzhen, who was one of the four major players in the East Factory at that time.
Li Yongzhen secretly left Beijing and rushed over, which shows the seriousness of the matter. After arriving in Shenyang, Li Yongzhen learned about the great victory of Pingnu from Yang Hao's aide Jiang Fangyin. Wei Liangchen had led the soldiers of the imperial army to surround Jiannu in the southeast of Heituara.
Because of his special identity, Li Yongzhen did not go to see Yang Hao, and directly asked Jiang Fangyin to arrange someone to send him to the front line.
His arrival surprised Eunuch Wei, who was busy convening a meeting, and hurriedly put down what he had at hand and met him in close contact.
Li Yongzhen told Eunuch Wei that the emperor had become seriously ill since he heard that Du Song was defeated and had not eaten for several days.
Somehow, this incident was spread and asked Yang Lian from the Donglin Party to find out. Yang Lian told his fellow party members that the emperor is seriously ill now, but only Concubine Zheng is by his side. Are there few examples of false edicts from previous generations usurping the throne? If there is any change, the consequences will be unpredictable.
"Strange words, is there nothing else in his mind except conspiracy?"
After hearing this, Eunuch Wei snorted coldly, saying that the world was in a conscience. Although he asked Concubine Zheng to "isolate China and abroad", he never thought of tampering with the will and preventing Zhu Changluo from succeeding to the throne.
"It seems that the imperial concubine is not all about herself. You have to check it out happily when she turns around."
When she said this, Eunuch Wei sighed in her heart. Shu'er was careless and said she was careful in doing things. But in the end, the people in the Qing Palace, including those around her, must have a second-minded existence, otherwise they would be isolated from China and abroad, so how could the emperor not eat be spread?
"Yang Lian can't just say nothing but do. What did he do?"
"Cui Yingyuan has been staring at Yang Lian. This man first went to find Zuo Guangdou, and then the two went to Fang Congzhe's mansion, saying that he wanted the chief minister to go to the palace to ask about his illness. If the emperor was indeed critically ill, he might be able to hear the last words and future arrangements so as not to be changed by others."
Eunuch Wei said "Oh": "This is the Imperial Concubine she is talking about."
Li Yongzhen nodded.
"The chief counselor asked about illness, hum, it's a good reason." Eunuch Wei sneered again.
Li Yongzhen hesitated and said, "Father-in-law, I think Fang Congzhe has selfish thoughts."
"oh?"
Eunuch Wei told Li Yongzhen to sit down and talk.
After Li Yongzhen sat down, he said something, and said, "Fang Congzhe recently raised the issue of missing staff in the palace, saying that he was the only one in the cabinet, only four or five officials in the department and the position of the chief censor was missing for many years, and there were only more than ten people left in the Kedao," he said.
Eunuch Wei was surprised: "Is it so lacking?"
Li Yongzhen said: "The father-in-law doesn't know anything. If the Censorate has thirteen censors, there are hundreds of censors, and now there are only a few. There is a censor named Sun Juxiang, who holds seven positions on behalf of the Censorate. In addition, he also manages the official seals of other sections of the Censorate."
This is considered as the ability to work harder or saving wages?
"What did the emperor say?"
"The matter in Liaodong made the emperor very angry and did not agree to Fang Congzhe's replenishment, but the emperor suddenly said that Fang would arrange to replenish the two cabinet ministers."
Eunuch Wei's heart moved: "Who is the emperor's intention?"
Li Yongzhen said: "It is Liu Yiyin, the Minister of Rites and He Zongyan."
Eunuch Wei was stunned: "Aren't these two people both Donglin Party?"
"Yes." Li Yongzhen nodded.
Eunuch Wei was stunned for a moment, then chuckled: "I'm afraid that Fang Congzhezhe will dominate the party. It's really an emperor's mind."
After saying that, he waved his hand, touched a cigarette and lit it, and said to Li Yongzhen: "I won't say this in advance."
Li Yongzhen understood the meaning of Eunuch Wei and hurriedly said, "According to the people in Fang Congzhe's mansion in Dongchang'an, Fang Congzhe looked embarrassed after hearing the purpose of Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou, saying that the emperor was most taboo to outsiders to say that he was sick. If he asked, the people around the emperor would not tell the truth."
Eunuch Wei said "Hmm": "What did Yang Lian say?"
"Yang Lian said that Prime Minister Wen Yanbo asked about Renzong's illness during the Song Dynasty, but the eunuch refused to tell the truth. Wen Yanbo scolded them and said that the emperor's daily life was, and you can't allow the prime minister to know about it. Could it be that there was another plan? In the end, the eunuch had to express his true feelings."
"Yang Lian is really brave."
Eunuch Wei vomited a cigarette ring and curled his lips, "My second uncle didn't break his head."
"That would be great if it was broken."
Li Yongzhen said "hehe" and the Donglin Party is now the guy Yang Lian. This guy probably forgot all the lesson Wei Zhongxian taught him last time.
Eunuch Wei thought about it and said, "Fang Congzhe is a timid person, so we guess he won't listen to Yang Lian."
Li Yongzhen said: "Yang Lian means to let Fang Congzhe work hard and go to the Qing Palace every day. He doesn't have to see the emperor, nor does he have to let the emperor know that he has been here."
"What does this mean?" Eunuch Wei was also a little puzzled.
Li Yongzhen reminded: "Yang Lian means to let Fang Congzhe be the one who is the concubine."
"Yes, the chief minister of the court, Minister Zhushi, comes here every day, of course, to ensure the safety of the country. Who would dare to do anything wrong?" Eunuch Wei sneered.
"Zuo Guangdou said why, in order to prevent accidents, Fang Congzhe should imitate Ye Xianggao and guard the cabinet day and night, and not be careless."
"These Donglin Party were not good at Fang Congzhe before. He said that he was not as good as a minor minister. Now he is pushing him as a leader and wants our family to be Fang Congzhe to ignore them."
Eunuch Wei shook his head and frowned, "However, Fang Congzhe is not our family. This prime minister always has to keep his hands on his work, including not being dedicated to our family. We think he will probably enter the palace."
