Usurping the Qing Dynasty: My first love was Cixi

Chapter 96 Auspicious blood appears again! The situation is boiling

Chapter 96 The auspicious blood appears again! The situation is boiling!

Su Yi exclaimed, "Ah? So how is the Emperor doing now?"

Princess Shou'an said: "The imperial doctor used a needle to revive him, but he is still very weak."

"Sister, it's so cold, why are you dressed so thinly?" Su Yi said, "Go into the room and talk."

Then, he put his arms around Princess Shou'an to keep her warm.

"Don't do anything." Princess Shou'an said, "The situation is urgent, let's talk about business."

Su Yi said: "I'm just afraid that you'll get frozen. Let's go inside the house and talk."

Then, Princess Shou'an followed Su Yi into the study, where charcoal was burning.

"Sister, my hands are so cold when I rub it," Su Yi said, then grabbed it and rubbed it hard.

Princess Shou'an glared at him, and after rubbing it to warm it up, she withdrew her hand.

Princess Shou'an said solemnly: "The emperor is ill and I am very worried."

Su Yi poured a cup of ginseng tea, handed it to her, and said, "Tell me what's going on."

"The Emperor is not in good health. He coughs every winter and his lungs are not very comfortable." Princess Shou'an said, "But it was not so severe in previous years."

Su Yi asked: "Why is this?"

Princess Shou'an said: "Most of the women in his harem were reserved and adhered to female virtues before. However, the new concubines this time were not very particular about this aspect, and were more indulgent to the emperor, so they cut off everything and lost money. Body."

Bingbing is charming at first glance, and she is particularly gorgeous.

Although the queen is beautiful, she is very dignified and reserved. But Yi concubine is arrogant and often uses harsh words to hurt others.

Only Concubine Lian took the initiative to seduce people, and the emperor couldn't hold it back.

Historically, after the emperor went to Chengde, he let himself go like this and summoned a large number of folk women.

Princess Shou'an said: "Another reason is that he is angry with you and his heart is blocked."

Su Yi was stunned, is there such a reason?

Princess Shou'an said: "I know the emperor best. He can't hide things in his heart. Once something happens, he always thinks about it. He also likes to get into trouble. The closer he is to the person, the more he is like this."

"He values you very highly and feels that what he has done recently is very protective of you. As a result, you are still angry with him."

Perhaps because Shou'an is a woman, she looks at the problem from a more emotional perspective and interprets it in a biased way.

But to a certain extent, the emperor has indeed been very protective of Su Yi recently.

He suppressed all the numerous impeachments against Su Yi.

And from the emperor's point of view, there is nothing wrong with sending Zhaolin to be the co-organizer of the New Army. Isn't it the best of both worlds?

Su Yi said: "Good sister, there are some things that I can't say to the emperor, but I can tell you clearly. It's really not that I'm greedy for power, nor that I can't tolerate Boyan, nor that I'm afraid that Zhaolin will take it away from me. right."

Perhaps the ginseng tea that Su Yi handed over was too hot. Princess Shou'an felt a little pain and couldn't help but put the tea cup down.

Su Yi grabbed her tender little hand and placed it on his earlobe, where the temperature was relatively low.

"Keep talking, don't move your hands or feet." Princess Shou'an said angrily: "Who did you learn this from? The men in our family have been virtuous since our ancestors."

After struggling a few times, I couldn't get away, so I just let it go.

Su Yi said seriously: "The system of our new army is completely different from that of ordinary armies. Everyone is working hard for one goal and training every day. It is absolutely fair and just. The capable ones will be promoted and the mediocre ones will be demoted. Even if I am The coach cannot break and interfere with this system. Fifty percent of the officers I promoted this time were recruited by Boyan. "

"But Zhaolin and Boyan, they are old thinkers, and they will use their power to disrupt this order and system. Good sister, it is difficult to establish this kind of system, but it is easy to disrupt it. And after you disrupt it, It will be difficult to repair it again.”

“Trust is greater than gold, and confidence is greater than gold.”

"Once officers and soldiers develop a sense of distrust in this order, they will not fight tooth and nail."

Princess Shou'an said: "When you say this, I understand. Do you want me to tell the emperor that you are beating around the bush?"

Su Yi said: "Yes, there are some things I can't say too clearly. Sister, the effect will be much better and it will be easier for the emperor to listen to you."

Princess Shou'an said: "Let's talk about these later. The main reason why I came to you this time is..."

Su Yi said: "Is it my auspicious blood?"

Princess Shou'an nodded and said, "Although it's a little hard to say, but..."

Su Yi said: "Sister, just a tube of blood is nothing. But you were too dangerous last time, so I took the risk."

Princess Shou'an said: "Adventure? Is there any danger?"

Su Yi said: "There is a fate between people and their blood. If there is no fate, the blood will conflict, and the life of the person receiving the blood will be in danger."

Princess Shou'an said: "Is there such a thing?"

Then, Princess Shou'an said: "Su Yi, although the emperor has not spoken, but... he must have something in mind. If you don't take the initiative to bring it up, he will be very disappointed."

That's for sure.

The emperor will definitely not take the initiative to speak, but he will think, I value you so much, but now that you are seriously ill, you are not willing to give up any blood?

Su Yi said: "Princess, please don't tell the emperor about this yet. You can find a way to get some of the emperor's blood and give it to me. I'll check it. Will my blood conflict with the emperor's?"

Princess Shouan said: "It's easy. The imperial physician often performs acupuncture and bloodletting treatment."

Su Ye said: "Princess, don't mention it to the emperor. If the blood conflicts, just pretend it didn't happen."

Princess Shouan said: "I don't need to."

Then, she said: "Why are you calling me princess again?"

Su Ye said: "I'm afraid you'll be unhappy."

"Okay, then I'll go back to the palace and find a way to get you some of the emperor's blood. How much do you want?" Princess Shouan said.

Su Ye said: "Just a little bit will do."

Princess Shouan stood up, Su Ye picked up her cloak, put it on her, and then helped her tie the rope.

The princess asked him to help her tie the rope, but she stared at his hand warily and said: "Keep your hands honest, don't rub it."

………………………………

Su Ye turned on the tablet computer. There was no network at this time. It was too unpredictable.

Sunspot activity is more ethereal than thunder and lightning.

But after winter, there are fewer thunder and lightning.

But regarding the emperor's illness, Su Ye also had a full discussion in the small group yesterday.

The emperor died of tuberculosis, but that was four or five years later, so it must not have developed to that point now.

According to the doctor of medicine in the small group, the emperor's lung disease now should be caused by multiple reasons.

His lungs were originally weak, and when the weather got cold, he caught a cold and coughed, which led to pneumonia, and this pneumonia was most likely a bacterial infection.

If it is a bacterial infection, especially an infection dominated by streptococci, then penicillin is still very effective.

But if it is something else, then penicillin has limited effect.

And for tuberculosis, penicillin is even less effective.

Fu Bamei's point of view is the same as Princess Shou'an. The emperor will definitely hope that Su Ye will take the initiative to donate auspicious blood, but he will never speak up.

But Su Ye must be very cautious on this point. If a hemolytic reaction occurs, it will be a big sin.

……………………………………………………

In the palace!

The emperor woke up slowly, feeling indescribable pain and discomfort all over his body.

He started to have a fever and felt dizzy.

It was better when he was unconscious, but once he woke up, he started to cough violently.

It was as if his entire lungs were going to be coughed out, and every time he coughed, his internal organs were in pain.

He had coughed in previous years, but it was not as painful as today.

Princess Shouan was taking care of him by the side, and the emperor glanced back and was immediately disappointed.

It was chilling!

Su Ye, am I not good enough to you?

At this time, you don’t take the initiative to offer the auspicious blood?

I can refuse it, but you can’t not offer it.

Do you want me to take the initiative to ask for it?

It’s really chilling.

The emperor looked at Princess Shou'an and sighed, "Fourth sister, this person is really cold-hearted."

Princess Shou'an said, "Your Majesty, don't think too much, take good care of yourself."

The emperor said, "You didn't go to find Su Ye, did you?"

Princess Shou'an said, "No, there is a difference between men and women, how could I go to find him?"

The emperor said, "Don't go to find him, don't go to find him!"

"Does this person really think that he is so talented that others can't live without him?"

When he was excited, the emperor coughed violently again and suffered another wave of punishment.

He complained even more in his heart.

…………………………………………

Before dawn, Princess Shou'an sneaked into Su Ye's yard again and handed him a thumb-sized gourd, which contained the emperor's blood.

"Is it enough?" Princess Shou'an asked.

Su Ye said, "It's enough."

Princess Shou'an said, "Then I'll go back and rest first. Tell me as soon as you have news."

Su Ye returned to the yard and did the simplest hemolysis reaction.

The result made him feel relieved.

Su Ye's blood and the emperor's blood will not undergo hemolysis.

That's good, that's good.

In this way, Su Ye is most likely type O blood.

Next, we need to find a way to create a sense of ritual, and then give the emperor a blood transfusion.

The last time the princess gave a blood transfusion, time was tight.

The sense of ritual was not enough.

This time it must be more thorough, at least three days and three nights.

Pray and meditate in front of the Buddha.

Then go to the Temple of Heaven to worship.

Finally, go to the Temple of Earth to worship.

………………………………………………………………

The emperor heard a shocking news.

When Su Ye went to the Temple of Earth to worship, he was ambushed and assassinated by more than a dozen people.

He was extremely fierce and killed most of the dozen people, and the remaining few escaped.

And Su Ye was hit by three knives and two arrows.

The Dali Temple immediately took back the body and conducted a large-scale search and investigation of the case.

The emperor heard it and was furious.

He was already very weak and fainted again.

His anger was not only because someone was so bold as to assassinate Su Ye in Beijing?

But there was another meaning.

He was wondering, could this... be directed and acted by Su Ye himself?

……………………………………

This time it really wasn't directed and acted by Su Ye himself.

Someone really assassinated him, and the mastermind behind the scenes was unknown whether it was the Hunan Army or the family of the Eight Banners soldiers he killed.

Of course, there was still a small part that was directed and acted by himself.

That was his injury.

After hearing this, Princess Shou'an was immediately anxious.

She came to visit him several times.

………………………………………………

At the same time, in the new army of Tianjin.

At the beginning, Zhaolin was still full of confidence, thinking that he could definitely control the new army in the shortest time by joining forces with Boyan and Zhaobu.

So, he adopted the method of winning people's hearts.

However, it turned out that the effect was not very good.

Many officers kept their distance from him, especially the Western officers' corps and the mercenary team, who were all rejecting him.

And there was another group of people in the new army, that is, the thirty instructors, those scholars who failed the imperial examination.

They were Su Ye's fanatical followers. After Zhaolin came, this group of people worked even harder to go deep into the army, doing ideological work for soldiers and officers every day.

Tell them not to worry, Yishuai will definitely come back.

Don't panic.

Stay calm, stay calm, stay calm.

Zhaolin won people's hearts several times, and he couldn't help but get angry.

And at this time, he received news from Beijing.

Su Ye was assassinated!

Suddenly, Zhaolin and Boyan instinctively smelled the danger.

Boyan, in particular, had a deep understanding of Su Ye's methods and felt that the other party would definitely not sit still and wait for death.

Therefore, anything that happened to Su Ye would be interpreted differently.

So, Zhaolin, Boyan, and Zhaobu really used their power to make the first adjustment to the entire new army's officer layer.

This is what they are best at.

Moreover, they also used the name of assessment, which seemed to be the same as Su Ye's method of promoting officers.

However, the content of the assessment changed, so more than one-third of the officers promoted by Su Ye before were dismissed.

Then, Boyan's former confidants, that is, those who were removed by Su Ye before, were replaced.

And the news was released that this assessment was carried out in three waves, and there would be two more waves to come.

The meaning was very clear. If you want to pass the assessment and continue to be an official, then come to me and be loyal to me.

Suddenly!

The new order of fairness and justice that the new army had finally established was immediately broken.

The sense of trust that the capable are promoted and the mediocre are demoted was also instantly broken.

If this continues, the new army will soon become the same army as the Eight Banners and the Green Camp.

Because the normal upward channel was directly destroyed.

Then why do we still train so hard?

It's all about background, backing, and connections.

Even if we train well, what's the use?

On the surface, it's the same assessment as Su Yeyi, but in fact it's all biased.

Suddenly, some people began to be passive and lazy.

And the other part of the people began to fight back!

………………………………………………

Su Ye's direct line began to hold secret meetings.

There were dozens of people, all of whom were officers or above.

Half of them were originally from the Eight Banners New Army of Boyan.

"Mutiny, mutiny!"

"Just go and arrest Zhao Lin, Boyan, Zhao Bu and others."

"If they do this, they will destroy the new army. If this continues, what's the difference between our new army and the Eight Banners Army and the Green Camp?"

"Stupid monarch, stupid monarch!" A certain instructor blurted out.

Suddenly, everyone was frightened.

Li Qi said: "Be quiet, Lin Li, don't cause trouble for the commander."

This Lin Li was a scholar who didn't even pass the examination for a scholar. He went all the way from the south to the north to find a future, but was abandoned by everyone.

As a result, he was recruited by Ting Ren and became an instructor under Su Ye.

After finally getting a future, he cherished it very much and was the most active among all the instructors.

After that, he went to every class of Su Ye, and immediately opened the door to a new world.

Not long ago, he was just promoted.

Suddenly, he felt that he saw an extremely bright future.

In terms of fanaticism, this person is the first.

In terms of extremism, this person is also the first.

Then, Lin Li said again: "Give me a gun, I will kill Zhao Lin."

Suddenly, everyone was scared even more.

Brother, you, don't be too extreme.

Lin Li said: "What else can we do? Next, they will replace all the officers with their own people. All the officers who are loyal to the order of the new army will be dismissed. At that time, the new army will be over, and the career of Yishuai will be over."

Li Qi said: "What we have to do is to stabilize the morale of the army. All the instructors must work harder to do ideological work. They must repeat and tell everyone that Yishuai will definitely come back. Even if he is dismissed now, he will definitely be reinstated after Yishuai comes back. All of us present here must train harder than before. Before Yishuai comes back, we must maintain the good order of the entire new army and reduce Zhaolin's damage to the new army to a minimum."

……………………………………………………

Zhaolin and Boyan soon discovered that the group of people who were most fiercely against them in the new army were these dozens of instructors.

This group of people was more loyal to Su Ye, even fanatical.

Because they were people abandoned by the times and wasted too long.

Because this group of people were originally radical, and they failed the imperial examinations many times, and they thought that their future was hopeless, but they found a future with Su Ye, and saw an extremely bright future.

Now... someone wants to destroy their bright future.

How can they not fight hard.

Therefore, Zhaolin and Boyan directly ordered that all these dozens of instructors be detained and collectively studied.

Learn loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, loyalty, righteousness, benevolence and faith, and find a great scholar to teach them.

It's called learning, but it's actually house arrest.

Then, they started the second batch of officers to replace.

It was also a public assessment.

However, the content of this assessment was more biased.

So, a large part of the people who wanted to be promoted were promoted.

Some of the people who wanted to be dismissed were dismissed.

But even so, there were still a lot of officers loyal to Su Ye who passed the assessment.

If this goes on, the content of the third batch of assessments will be more biased.

In this way, the order of the new army and the positive atmosphere that were established with great difficulty were once again greatly damaged.

Zhaolin and Boyan were also very anxious.

First, they would work hard in Beijing to prevent Su Ye from coming back.

Secondly, even if Su Ye wanted to come back, they would try to delay the time and replace more officers with their own people before he came back.

But they didn't know that Su Ye was not in a hurry to come back.

How long will it take to fight back and forth like this?

Directly solve the problem once and for all and completely solve it.

In order to destroy the confidence of Su Ye's direct line once again, Zhao Lin and Boyan gathered all the new troops and announced a piece of news in grief.

"Wing Marshal Su Ye was assassinated in Beijing by a despicable and shameless assassination. He has been in a coma so far, so he may not be able to come back for a long time."

This news immediately brought a huge blow to the morale of Su Ye's direct line.

Although Su Ye's new army has established a new order and has burst out with great vitality.

But it is still immature.

Facing the combination of Zhao Lin and Boyan, this absolute power suppression, although they also fought back desperately.

But there are too many restrictions, so this counterattack is difficult to be effective.

Or it is a radical like Lin Li who wants to assassinate Zhao Lin directly.

The only thing they can do is to hold together tightly and stabilize the basic group of Su Ye's direct line.

As for Zhao Lin and Boyan using power and trickery to constantly dismiss officers and appoint new officers, it is difficult for them to stop.

They can only try their best to protect this new army and new order from completely collapsing.

Colonel William saw this scene and immediately shook his head and sighed: "What a pathetic country, what a ridiculous country."

The most frustrated are the mercenaries, who were originally passionate, but now completely depressed.

Zhaolin and Boyan both instinctively reject everything about foreigners.

The mercenaries have decided that if Su Ye does not come back in two months, they will leave.

And just at this time!

An accident happened, an accident that was beyond Su Ye's plan.

Cholera appeared in the new army.

Since cholera entered China from Southeast Asia thirty years ago, it has broken out almost every once in a while, and all in coastal areas.

Sporadic cholera had already appeared in Tianjin before, but Su Ye immediately formulated strict epidemic prevention measures, and the winter was cold, so cholera was basically prevented from entering the new army camp.

After Zhaolin came, he destroyed too much order.

Among them, there were extremely strict defense measures.

Many things in Tianjin City and even Tianjin Port illegally entered the new army camp, and then directly brought the plague in.

In this era, cholera was very scary and had a high mortality rate.

Zhaolin and Boyan were not incompetent. They immediately closed the military camp completely.

They also began to pick up the epidemic prevention measures that had been thrown aside before, and carried out epidemic prevention according to the gourd.

To be honest, they did a good job.

But...

Because of the fear of cholera, they did a bad job in one aspect.

For those infected with cholera, they handled them very simply and roughly, using force directly to drive them into a house.

Then, they closed the door and photographed dozens of soldiers to monitor them from dozens of meters away.

Once anyone dared to leave the door, they were shot immediately.

In this way, more and more people in the army were infected with cholera.

Training was completely stopped, and people were completely panicked.

Moreover, cholera would not recognize people.

He infected not only Su Ye's direct lineage, but also Boyan and Zhaolin's direct lineage.

At this time, Zhaolin and Boyan didn't care about direct lineage or not. As long as they were infected, they were all thrown into that house.

Feeding from a distance, almost no treatment.

There were more and more cholera patients in that house, and cross-infection began.

Suddenly, it was like hell on earth.

The group of education officers who were previously under house arrest by Zhaolin turned out to be a blessing in disguise, all healthy and without cholera.

Moreover, at this time, they were not cared about house arrest and were released.

Lin Li said excitedly: "My colleagues, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Now there are more and more soldiers and officers infected with cholera, including many of Boyan's direct lineage. They have been abandoned and left to fend for themselves, so now is their most fearful and desperate moment."

"But it is also the best time for us to do ideological work. We go to the large isolation room, help them, do ideological work for them, seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, let them be completely loyal to Yishuai, including Boyan's people also completely spurn him and turn to Yishuai"

When these words came out, everyone was stunned.

You, are you crazy?

If you go in, you will definitely be infected and your life will be in danger.

"It is better to die spectacularly than to live inactively. Besides, you may not die if you are infected with cholera!"

"Who wants to follow me?! Wealth can be found in danger!"

After he finished speaking, he raised his hands high.

But... no one raised their hands after him.

Lin Li said: "If you don't go, I will! I don't blame you. There are many mediocre people in this world."

After a while, another person raised his hand, a thin scholar.

Lin Li said: "What is your name?"

The thin scholar said: "Li Tu!"

"I'll go!" A young man rushed in suddenly, and it turned out to be young Wang Wu.

"I'll go too!" Wang Tianyang walked in from outside.

"Lin Xiucai is right. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Yi Shuai." Wang Tianyang said: "It's not just about buying people's hearts. Those infected with cholera are also precious seeds. We can't just let them die inside." ”

Last time, Wang Tianyang failed to stop the peasant recruits from doing farm work, causing Su Yi to be flogged in public. He was so ashamed and angry that he committed suicide directly. He died and was revived.

This time, he will never let his master down again.

Then, in the eyes of everyone with horror and admiration.

Four people, Wang Tianyang, Lin Li, Li Qi, and Li Tu, carried several bags of medicinal materials on their backs, put on masks, and resolutely entered the hell-like isolation room.

Wang Wu, who was Su Yi's scholar and disciple, originally wanted to follow him in, but was blocked by Li Qi and Wang Tianyang.

Wang Tianyang said Li Qi, don't go, you are needed outside.

Li Qi said, I am the master's slave, and I represent the master, so I should go.

That moment.

The new army looked at these four people with eyes full of reverence.

The infected officers and soldiers in the large isolation room looked at the four people who came in, and burst into tears.

But Lin Li didn't feel scared at all, only excited about doing something big.

His mind began to brew. There will definitely be more and more patients entering the isolation room, and there will be a group of people here who will recover on their own.

How should he use this group of people to plan a mutiny.

Get rid of Zhaolin and Boyan completely.

"Shuai Yi, just wait, I, Lin Li, will definitely give you a huge surprise."

This was really a big surprise for Su Yi.

Unexpectedly, in a short period of time, the new order ecosystem of the New Army would immediately give birth to people like Lin Li.

Even without Su Yi's orders and guidance, he could spontaneously act for the benefit of the entire New Army.

The key is that their mobility is amazing.

……………………………………………………

at the same time!

In a certain pirate house, there is a big pirate nest here.

Black Gong came to the pirate leader and said: "The boss has already heard about it. Su Yi has been recalled to the capital, and Zhaolin has come to seize power with the new army. The two factions are fighting fiercely. It is the weakest time. This is a rare opportunity for us." What a great opportunity.”

The pirate leader said: "Then Su Yi is not here, so he can't avenge my brother."

Hei Gong said: "But in that military camp, there are thousands of the latest foreign guns, dozens of artillery pieces, and hundreds of thousands of taels of silver."

Suddenly, the pirate leader's eyes turned green.

Hei Gong said: "If the big boss snatches this sum, we will immediately become rich and prosperous."

Hei Gong's face was covered in scars, and his true face could not be seen clearly. He looked particularly ferocious at this time.

When following Su Yi, he always wore a mask.

And once you take off the mask, you don't need to act at all, you are a born evil person.

The sixth boss next to him said: "Lao Jiu, you have just joined us less than three months ago, and are you so motivated to make progress? Are you too impatient?"

The pirate leader said: "Lao Jiu, there are only more than a thousand of us, can we eat this batch of goods?"

The Sixth Master next to him suddenly said gloomily: "Old Jiu, we just sent people to inquire. Su Yi's new army is infected with cholera. Do you want us to die?"

Hei Gong was immediately shocked and said, "What? Cholera?"

But when the pirate leader heard about cholera, his eyes lit up and he said, "Cholera really broke out in his military camp? Wouldn't that mean that a large number of people were sick and had no fighting ability?"

The Sixth Master said: "That's true, but...if we go to kill people, we will also be infected."

The pirate leader's eyes flashed and he said: "You may not die if you are infected. When the time comes, put the guns and money you stole on an isolated island. Everyone will be on the isolated island and are not allowed to come out. After a few months, Aren’t these guns and money clean?”

The Sixth Leader trembled and said: "Boss, many of us will die if we do that."

The pirate leader didn't say anything, it was just a group of his younger brothers who died.

As long as there is money, guns and artillery, people don't just have as much as they want.

And why do people become pirates? Isn’t it just to make a lot of money?

The pirate leader said: "The news of cholera in Su Yi's new army cannot be spread."

Then, he looked at Hei Gong and said in a fiery voice: "Old Jiu, are you willing to take your brothers to do this big thing? I will hold the battle for you from behind, and I will give you a 10% share after the thing is done."

Heigong gritted his teeth and said, "Dare!"

The pirate leader couldn't help but patted Hei Gong's shoulder heavily and said: "As expected of the person introduced by Hai Qilin. As expected of the person who killed three opponents for me. As expected of the person who got the largest number of votes. When the deed is done, Not only will I give you a 10% share, but by then, you will be my second boss.”

Hei Gong roared: "Wealth and honor are sought in danger, and birds fly to the sky when people die!"

…………………………………………

At the same time!

The emperor, who was already seriously ill and was strongly stimulated.

He fell into a coma again and had a high fever again.

Even before he fell into a coma, he was still looking outside to see if Su Ye had come in.

Heart-breaking, heart-breaking!

Su Ye, was this assassination a trick of yours?

And at this moment.

Su Ye's full-bodied voice came from outside.

"Your Majesty, Su Ye asks for an audience!"
