Usurping the Qing Dynasty: My first love was Cixi

Chapter 22 Six hundred miles in a hurry!

At least at this moment, Yipin is extremely eager for power.

If she had great power, why would she be so passive at this moment?

However, Yipin wanted to give up like this, but others were unwilling to let her father go.

Politics is far more cruel than imagined.

Once a mistake is made, political enemies will never miss the opportunity.

Prince Hui and his men dare not attack, but they will not miss this opportunity for Huizheng and Chongen.

Even the crazy censor will not let Prince Hui go.

…

In the court.

The fierce attack of the censors of the Censorate has officially begun.

"I impeach Hui Zheng, the right councillor of the Ministry of Public Administration, for accepting bribes, building momentum for the criminal Su Ye, and forging auspicious signs of resurrection from the dead."

"I impeach Chong En, the acting governor of Shandong, for accepting bribes from Su Ye, helping him conceal the purchase of heads, forging merits, and boasting that an incompetent escaped from the battle became a Manchurian general, which lost the dignity of my court."

"I impeach Hui Zheng for privately participating in Su Ye's family business, secretly transferring benefits, and trading with the majesty of the court."

"Under the inspiration of your majesty's wisdom and martial arts, all the soldiers in the front fought hard, but Su Ye poured cold water in the rear, saying that the battle of Jiujiang would be lost. If he was not severely punished, wouldn't it chill the hearts of the soldiers in the front."

"I impeach Prince Hui for abusing his power for personal gain and forging auspicious signs before He helped Su Ye escape the crime, and now he is helping Su Ye to build momentum, advocating that the battle of Jiujiang will definitely be lost, and boasting about his so-called reputation of being a double star of civil and military affairs. "

"Our army has won victory after victory in the Jiujiang battlefield, Taqibu defeated the rebels in Shuangchengyi and Dahepu, Zeng Guofan defeated the fake king Shi Dakai in Hukou, and it is just around the corner to take Jiujiang City. Under such a good situation, some people are advocating that they will definitely be defeated. It is clearly malicious and has ulterior motives. "

"I impeached Prince Hui for party disputes and disregarding the overall situation of the court. Just because Su Zhongtang and Prince Zheng supported Zeng Guofan, they ignored the facts, blindly erased the merits of our army, advocated for Su Ye, and put the life and death of the war in the south aside. "

Suddenly, Hui Zheng, Chong En, and Prince Hui were all stunned.

Su Shun and his party, are they so impatient?

Now that the real victory report of the Jiujiang battle has not come yet, they are going to take action against these three people?

Prince Gong Yi had just been driven out of the position of the leader of the Military Affairs Office by Emperor Xianfeng, and was hiding in the palace. Now in the court, Sushun's party had no rivals, and it was Prince Hui who was old and often confronted Sushun.

But Prince Hui was old after all, and he didn't really manage things.

Can't you tolerate Sushun's party? You want to use Su Ye to overthrow Prince Hui's faction?

You have already unified the court, isn't it enough? !

Emperor Xianfeng frowned and said, "Hui Zheng, is this true?"

Hui Zheng stepped out and said, "I have never accepted bribes from Su Ye's family."

Deputy Governor Niu Hulu. Mu Ningzhu said coldly, "Lord Hui Zheng, is your family doing business in partnership with Su Ye's family also made up by others? If you think others have wronged you, you must produce evidence?"

If Su Ye was there, he would smell the smell instantly.

You Mu Ningzhu is the deputy governor, a relative of the empress, not an imperial censor, so is it worth your personal involvement?

This is a signal that the hunter is ready to hunt.

Huizheng has a share in Su Ye's family business, and behind Huizheng is Concubine Yi.

If you want to seize the family wealth, you must first cut off this layer of protection.

Huizheng's face turned pale. Some things can't be concealed even if you want to.

Xianfeng said: "Yes, or no?"

Huizheng knelt down and kowtowed: "Yes, I have a 20% stake in some of Su He's family's industries!"

Xianfeng said coldly: "Why, is the salary I give you not enough to spend? Or is the daily reward I give you too little? Don't you know the truth that you are soft-hearted and you are short-mouthed when you eat people?"

Huizheng trembled all over. The emperor had never been so angry with him.

Although his daughter became a queen in the palace and the family occasionally received rewards, Huizheng's family was really thin. His share in Su He's business was really too important and was an important pillar for him to live a decent life.

But now, Huizheng had to kowtow again and said, "I will withdraw my shares right away."

The emperor glanced at him. In fact, he had no problem with Huizheng's deep love for Suhe's business. He just vented his anger towards Suye on Huizheng.

Then, Huizheng took off his official hat and said, "I beg to retire."

That's not the case. After all, he is his father-in-law. Don't make him look so heartless as an emperor.

Xianfeng said indifferently, "Huizheng will be fined for three years and recorded once."

Huizheng kowtowed, "I accept the order and thank you."

"Chongen!"

Chongen stepped out, his attitude was much tougher than Huizheng, a typical example of being strong without desire.

Xianfeng said, "Don't you have anything to say?"

Chong'en said, "I did recommend Su Ye before, first because I think he is really talented and meritorious, and second because he is from the Gioro clan. I have repeatedly recommended him in the spirit of promoting relatives."

The censor said coldly, "Lord Chong'en, are you sure you have never accepted bribes from Su Ye?"

Chong'en said, "Never."

The censor Lang Shiting sneered, "What's that box of calligraphy? Although it is not gold or silver, it is more valuable than gold and silver. Isn't the "Huairen Collection of Wang Shengjiao Preface" valuable?"

Chong'en was immediately unable to argue. As the leader of the Gioro clan and Su Ye's elder, what's wrong with accepting some filial piety during festivals?

Su Ye's family knew that he loved calligraphy, so they often catered to his taste and gave him many calligraphy works, some valuable and some not, but Chong En didn't care about these.

Who knew that it would become a crime today.

"Your Majesty, I suspect that Su Ye's so-called civil and military stars descended to earth and his so-called remarks that the battle of Jiujiang would be lost were instigated by Chong En behind the scenes." The censor said loudly: "When He Shaoji was convicted and dismissed from office, Chong En had a lot of sympathy for him. He repeatedly pleaded for him publicly, but he did not repent after being reprimanded by Your Majesty, and he harbored resentment towards Your Majesty."

"I have reported that Your Majesty has been very kind to Chong En and appointed him as the acting governor of Shandong, but he has repeatedly been dissatisfied with this acting position. He has repeatedly tried to obtain the actual position of governor but failed, and has long been dissatisfied with Your Majesty. Knowing that Su Ye is an incompetent waste, he has repeatedly recommended him, and this time he has fueled the remarks that the battle of Jiujiang will be lost, which shows that he has ulterior motives."

Suddenly, Chong En was so angry that he trembled all over.

There are such shameless people? !

He is the person who hates power the most. He has little interest in being an official and has no complaints about the so-called acting governor of Shandong.

As a result, this group of people made up stories out of nothing and called a deer a horse.

Chong'en took off his hat and feathers, knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, now that things have come to this, I will speak freely."

"That night in Prince Hui's mansion, Su Ye said that the battle of Jiujiang would be lost, although many people despised it, but I think there is no problem with his loyalty. The reason why he said such a thing was entirely for the country, please Your Majesty."

"Su Ye's ability is problematic, but his position is not a problem, and his loyalty to the emperor and his patriotism are absolutely true!"

"Besides, when will my Qing Dynasty be punished for words?!"

Haha, the Qing Dynasty has always been punished for words.

But Su Ye is a distant branch of the royal family, so he should be treated differently.

Chong'en is a modest gentleman. It is impossible for him to kneel down and beg for mercy, saying that he is thanking God for his grace and has no resentment.

The emperor was immediately angry. Chong'en, can't you say a soft word? Just stand firm like that?

He Shaoji was like this back then. He was only demoted, but he resigned directly without giving in.

Why do you, Chongen, have to learn the character of a Han scholar?

And Chongen is He Shaoji's best friend. He has spoken for him more than once or twice.

Censor Lang Shiting said: "Chongen, you dare to say that Su Ye said that the battle of Jiujiang would be lost, isn't it a curse on the court?"

Chongen stood firm and said: "No, I firmly believe that he said such a thing for the sake of his ancestors' foundation."

Su Ye's performance that night really left a deep impression on Chongen.

Censor Lang Shiting said: "Then please answer, Lord Chongen, have you ever received Su Ye's calligraphy, especially the priceless copy of "Huairen Ji Wang Shengjiao Xu", is this considered bribery?"

Chongen kowtowed and said: "I beg for my bones."

Xianfeng was furious. Everyone threatened to resign? Do you really think I dare not agree?

Chong'en looked at Lang Shiting, this villain, and hated him.

Not long ago, he pretended to be a calligraphy lover and made friends with Chong'en, asking Chong'en to treat him as a good friend, sharing the precious calligraphy scrolls in his home with him, and also told him the origins of these calligraphy scrolls.

As a result, the other party bit him so hard today.

It's a pity that he still regarded him as a close friend.

Lang Shiting shouted: "Your Majesty, Su Ye pretended to be a ghost, and the battle of Jiujiang was a sure thing, but he said it would be defeated. This is clearly a curse on the court, holding a grudge, and tantamount to treason. Please, Your Majesty, punish him!"

"Please, Your Majesty, punish this beast!"

Several imperial censors came out one after another.

"Please punish Su Ye, dismiss Chong'en from office and deprive him of his title!"

"I request that Su Ye be punished, and Chong'en be dismissed from office and deprived of his title!"

And Chong'en knelt straight on the ground.

There was no need for the emperor to dismiss him, he would resign from all his official positions.

Such a court, full of clowns, is better not to wait.

…

And at this moment!

On the official road less than ten miles away from the capital, a messenger, although extremely tired, is still galloping madly.

"Six hundred miles in a hurry!"

"Jiujiang battle report!"
