Chapter 273 Luo Xueyan, come out and betray the country! (Please order and vote)
If Luo Yaoguo was also listening at the moment, he would probably suspect that Hong Daquan really has some moral integrity.
Because it makes sense for him to be confused this time!
Isn't this Wanzhen Guangxu's biological mother and Xuantong's biological grandmother?
Historically, Guangxu lived for thirty-four years and Xuantong lived for three years. Together they add up to thirty-seven years. However, the three years of Xuantong are incomplete. November 13th of the third year of Xuantong is January 1st of the first year of the Republic of China. One is missing. Many months.
So as long as Luo Xueyan married Wanzhen, there would definitely be no more Guangxu and Xuantong. Then wouldn’t the Qing Dynasty lose Guo Zuo, who was thirty-six years, eleven months and thirteen days?
Although Prince Gong, who was in the Yamen of the Ministry of Justice, did not know that Wan Zhen's fate was related to Guangxu and Xuantong, he was still deceived by Hong Daquan.
After all, Hong Daquan has been deceived several times, and Prince Gong himself believes in destiny - he seems to have no destiny to be the emperor!
Otherwise, why would His Majesty choose the fourth prince who is lame, stupid, alcoholic, drug addict, and extremely weak to be the emperor?
Later, seeing that Emperor Xianfeng "can't do it", he had another chance. However, as soon as the "Qing Dynasty Man" appeared, Xianfeng "can do it" and he became further and further away from the throne.
"Hong Daquan, do you think there is a solution to this matter?" Prince Gong asked, "Does it mean that as long as the destiny man's sister is not taken over by the Bull Demon King, the Qing Dynasty will not lose thirty-six years of its life?"
"Let me calculate it carefully." Hong Daquan knew that he had another way to survive, but he had to cherish it, so he frowned and tried his best to deceive, "This girl of destiny may also be a part of destiny. The prince just didn't Are you saying that the destined person is the emperor's concubine? This imperial concubine is nothing more than giving birth to a son to be the queen mother, the female chicken Sichen, who will act as regent. And what is the key to the female chicken Sichen?"
Prince Gong's eyes lit up as he seemed to have thought of something: "It's his son! Could it be."
When Hong Daquan saw Prince Gong's expression, he knew he had a chance to survive, and he quickly redoubled his efforts to deceive him: "Son, are you going to die?"
"Bold!"
Shengbao and Guiliang shouted together.
Prince Gong waved his hand and said: "Everyone go out and guard!"
"My lord, be careful of the traitor named Hong!"
"My lord, you are worth a thousand dollars!"
Shengbao, Guiliang quickly reminded Prince Gong.
However, Prince Gong glanced at Hong Daquan, who was shackled and pale, waved his hand and said, "Everyone, get out, he is no match for me!"
Shengbao and Guiliang looked at each other, and had no choice but to salute Prince Gong, and then called the palace guards in the clean room to retreat together.
Seeing that all his men were gone, Prince Gong narrowed his eyes and looked at Hong Daquan: "Speak quickly!"
"Your Majesty, the concubine's sister must be a beauty, right?" Hong Daquan asked.
"Of course."
"Do all the beauties of the Bannermen have to participate in the talent show?" Hong Daquan asked again.
In fact, it is not "all", yellow belts and red belts will not participate, but Concubine Yi's sister is definitely not. Thinking of this, Prince Gong already understood that Concubine Yi's son may not live long, and there will be no heirs to the throne. In this way
As soon as Concubine Yi became the Queen Mother, she would have to adopt a son from the emperor's son of Xianfeng or Concubine Yi from a nearby prince's family. A son born by Concubine Yi's sister to Xianfeng or a close prince would definitely be the most suitable.
Candidate.
In other words, the next emperor of the Qing Dynasty would have to be chosen from the sister of Concubine Yi. If Wanzhen returned to Luo Xueyan, then the son she gave birth to for Luo Xueyan would definitely not be able to inherit the imperial line of the Qing Dynasty!
Although the Aixinjueluo family is not short of men who can ascend the throne, without the blessing of destiny, the new emperor chosen is not the real emperor, and cannot suppress the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom or the Qing version of Cao Cao, Liu Yu, and Zhu who defeated the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
Wen and the Qing Dynasty will lose the country for thirty-six years.
In addition, if Wanzhen marries a close prince of the Qing Dynasty, she can give birth to the emperor of the Qing Dynasty. So who is this close prince?
Thinking of this question, Prince Gong's breathing became rapid!
Among the recent princes of the Qing Dynasty, he seems to be the "nearest". If Wanzhen becomes his concubine, his son will be the emperor in the future and he will be able to enjoy the kingdom for at least thirty-six years.
Not bad!
"Okay!" Prince Gong nodded heavily, "Hong Daquan, you are indeed an expert, are you willing to be used by this king?"
This is what Hong Daquan was waiting for!
He hurriedly bent his legs and knelt down, prostrating himself on the ground: "Your Majesty, Hong Daquan, is willing to encourage you!"
In the living room of the British Consulate on the Bund in Shanghai, there are already several people who are really influential in the Far East diplomatic community. Among the original foreigners in Shanghai, they are the top British Consul Alley Guo, the French Consul Aitang, and the American Consul
Ma Hui, at this time, was sitting cautiously in the corner seat with a flattering smile on his face.
The protagonists in the living room of the consulate today are three ministers plenipotentiary who can truly represent the British Empire, the French Empire and the United States of America - Bonham, Bourblon and Marsali.
In the diplomatic activities of this era, ministers are the "full powers" to represent a country. Consuls are sometimes even representatives elected by the expatriates themselves and cannot represent their own government at all.
From this perspective, the abolished "Shanghai Land Leasing Regulations" itself should not involve "sovereignty issues" that can only be decided at the ministerial level. It is simply invalid!
Of course, as long as there is enough "truth", the invalid agreement can also be the abolition of the "Shanghai Land Charter" related agreements
But Bonham, Bulbulon and Marsali, who gathered at the British Consulate today, obviously want more!
Because Wenxian's trip to Nanjing brought them enough chips!
At the same time, the Qing Emperor recently appointed Luo Xueyan, the governor of Shanghai, as the Minister of Commerce of the Five Countries.
This is such a coincidence. If Luo Xueyan wants to keep Shanghai, he must rely on the support of the three major powers: Britain, the United States, and France.
Britain is now on the line with the Taiping Rebellion!
If Luo Xueyan doesn't want the great powers to support Luo Yaoguo, then he has to work hard to betray his country!
"Gentlemen, this is the provisional agreement that I have just reached with the Taiping Rebellion's Foreign Minister and Commander-in-Chief of the Upper Army, King Wu Luo Yaoguo, on free trade, labor export, free missionary work, and mutual establishment of consulates. This is a huge diplomatic breakthrough. , it will allow most of our goods to enter the hinterland of China unimpeded, and it will also ensure that our colonies in Southeast Asia receive a large number of hard-working and high-quality labor forces. Our profits in Southeast Asia will also increase dramatically!
Finally, our Anglican missionaries will also freely enter and exit the jurisdiction of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom to spread the gospel of God!"
Wenxian took out the "Britain-Taiping Rebellion Provisional Agreement" signed by himself and Luo Yaoguo, and waved it proudly in front of the American minister and the French minister, as if he had achieved great diplomatic achievements.
The American Minister Marsali looked at the agreement in Bonham's hand with stern eyes and looked quite envious: "Mr. Bonham, does this temporary agreement limit the cooperation between Britain and the Qing Dynasty? Will Britain suspend its non-interference in the Chinese Civil War? Neutrality policy? Will Britain sell a large amount of weapons and equipment to the Taiping Rebellion and send military advisers?"
The French Minister Bourblon said solemnly: "Your Excellency Bonham, I would like to know whether the unity of the great powers pursued by our three countries on diplomatic issues with China is still valid? We French people are the most loyal people of God, and we will never Will cooperate with the blasphemous Taiping Heavenly Kingdom! I don’t think the British Empire will not consider the French Empire’s stance towards China at the moment, right?”
Wenxian smiled and said: "Your Excellency Marsali, Excellency Bourblon, this "temporary agreement" only involves trade, labor, missionary work, and the establishment of consulates in each other's country, and does not involve any other aspects. Britain's neutrality policy in the Chinese Civil War does not involve The British government will not send military advisers to serve the Taiping Rebellion. As for the issue of selling weapons, that is part of free trade! If Luo Xueyan cannot give Britain more benefits, then we will sell more weapons to his enemies. Luo Yaoguo!"
The American minister nodded heavily and said: "Yes, if Luo Xueyan cannot give us conditions that satisfy the United States, then we, the United States of America, are very willing to conclude the same agreement with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and export a huge amount of weapons and equipment to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom!"
Faced with the "British-American consensus" and the "neutrality" promise given by Bonham, French Minister Bourblon immediately followed suit and said: "Luo Xueyan should indeed make more concessions to us, although we in France will not cooperate with the Taiping Rebellion in any case. But precisely because of our firm stance, the Qing Dynasty should give us more rewards!
Your Excellency Bonham, Your Excellency Marsali, why don't we discuss today what specific conditions we should put forward in the subsequent negotiations?"
Chapter completed!
