Chapter 41: Sushun's poisonous plan
Mu Yin secretly looked at Ruihua and whispered: "I can't survive these days. Ever since the rebels rebelled, I have been scolded every three days. Now it's better. I don't even need to enter the clan's mansion, I can go directly to the sky prison."
Already."
Zaiyuan also complained: "Who says it's not the case? Let's just say the day before yesterday. It was obviously Xu Guangjin's failure in suppressing the bandits and allowed the long hair to flow into Hubei. What does it have to do with me? The emperor lectured me for half an hour.
I really want to retire and return to my hometown."
Ruihua sighed: "What's the use of complaining? Now let alone resigning and returning home, even if you are dismissed from office, you are lucky. Didn't you hear that the emperor just said that we will be imprisoned in the sky prison? It's okay for the Zongren Mansion, everyone is
Relatives, you can be released after being detained for a while. What kind of place is the Tianlao? I have never heard of anyone coming out of there alive."
Mu Yin thought for a while, but still couldn't think of any clever plan, and said depressedly: "The idea I came up with last time was such a good idea, I don't understand why the emperor didn't adopt it, and fined me a year's salary."
Ruihua said: "What kind of clever plan do you have? You invite foreigners to suppress the traitors. Let's not say whether the rebels can be suppressed. If you ask the officials of the world, how will the people view the emperor? Aren't you going to push the emperor into a pit of fire?"
When Mu Yin heard what Ruihua said, he immediately quit and argued: "You were also in favor of my plan at that time. If I hadn't taken the lead, you might have been able to take the lead and propose a plan to the emperor to please the emperor. Now you are like this...
…What a duplicitous guy.”
Seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel, Zaiyuan cursed: "If you two want to quarrel, just go to the sky prison and do it again. Where are you now? When the emperor comes back and sees you like this, he might just pull us out of the Meridian Gate and behead us."
.”
When Ruihua heard about the beheading, he immediately dared not say anything more. After a while, he sighed: "It takes a man with a strong character, outstanding intelligence, and the courage to rebuke Yan Zhijian, and push all the rebels and difficult things to him."
, our burden will be lighter.”
"He has an upright character, outstanding talents, and dares to offend his opponents." Zaiyuan and Mu Yin looked at each other and looked at Ruihua with a smile.
Ruihua was shocked by what they saw, thinking that they were asking him to stand in front of him, so he hurriedly declined: "Hey, we have known each other for decades, you can't push me into the fire pit. Besides, I'm not that kind of person."
A good person who sacrifices himself for others, if he wants to sacrifice me, he should sacrifice it for my family, for you two...it's not worth it."
Zaiyuan said flatteringly: "Prince Zheng, you have misunderstood. We are not asking you to sacrifice yourself for the two of us. We are asking your brother to sacrifice himself for the three of us."
Mu Yin also said happily: "I have also heard that your brother Sushun made the emperor angry several times by admonishing him. The strange thing is that he came back safe and sound every time. If he could follow him every day
It will also be good for your family in front of the emperor."
Ruihua also said happily: "Why didn't I think of it? He was the one who analyzed the foreigners' borrowing of troops last time and told me about it. Well, okay, let's do it like this."
Mu Yin nodded and said: "When the emperor comes back, the three of us will sponsor Sushun together."
Just now the three of them were looking forward to Xianfeng's return later, but now they are looking forward to him.
Xianfeng excreted the waste in his stomach and felt much better. Seeing the three of them still kneeling on the ground, he said angrily: "Okay, you guys, get up. Do you have any clever ideas?"
Xianfeng planned in his heart that no matter what ridiculous strategies they came up with, they would be able to get through.
Mu Yin was the first to say: "I feel ashamed that I can't share your Majesty's worries. Just now I was thinking about it, and my head was spinning several times, and finally I came up with a wonderful plan. Your Majesty will never have to worry about the rebels again."
Already."
Xianfeng originally wanted to joke: "Your head hasn't gotten bigger, either." Later, when he heard that he wouldn't have to worry about rebelling in the future, he immediately asked with great interest: "What's the best trick? Tell me about it."
Zaiyuan was afraid that Mu Yin would lose all the credit, so he said first, "This incomparable strategy was thought up by me..."
When Xianfeng saw Ruihua's face flushed with anxiety, he interrupted Zaiyuan with a smile and said, "Prince Zheng, are you also responsible for this ingenious plan?"
Ruihua had never felt that the emperor was so wise before, and quickly kowtowed and said gratefully: "The emperor is wise."
Xianfeng's face gradually became gloomy, and he was really tired of the shamelessness and incompetence of the three of them. However, he had already dismissed the ministers of the DPRK as soon as he came to the throne. It was really not appropriate to attack them now. After thinking for a while, he decided to scare them and give them a blow.
They were careful to remember their names, and they patted the royal table hard and said: "If your ingenious plan does not meet my wishes, I will immediately behead all of you... and your whole family in public."
When Zaiyuan heard that he was going to be beheaded, he panicked and said: "Your Majesty is wise, this wonderful plan was actually thought up by Prince Zheng and others, and it is none of the business of the ministers, Your Majesty."
Mu Yin also thought that entering the Heavenly Prison was better than beheading him, and cried: "Your Majesty, this wonderful plan is none of my business. Prince Zheng came up with it himself. If you don't believe me, ask Prince Yi."
When Zaiyuan saw the emperor looking at him, he nodded quickly like a chicken pecking at rice.
Xianfeng saw that Ruihua was so anxious that his face was red, and sweat was dripping from his forehead from time to time. He was really afraid that Ruihua would be scared out of his wits, so he said: "Okay, Prince Yi, please tell me what a good idea it is for the three of you."
What a fool... all the ministers agreed."
When Zaiyuan saw that the emperor had pointed him out, he did not forget to put the shit basin on Prince Zheng's head: "It's Prince Zheng. He wants to recommend his younger brother Sushun, and he said to the minister: The country is in danger, and it is the time to promote virtuous people without avoiding relatives."
.”
Mu Yin also nodded and said: "I also think this plan is feasible, please ask the emperor to judge it."
Xianfeng also thought of Sushun and planned to summon him into the palace to ask for countermeasures. Unexpectedly, they were stupid enough to think of it. He didn't know for a moment whether he had become stupid because he talked to them too much, or whether it was because of them and himself.
Together, our brains become smarter.
Xianfeng shook his head and said with a smile: "Well, let me send someone to Sushun to enter the palace and see if he has any good ideas. I will reward you greatly. As for the three of you, there is no need to kneel down. I think you are still loyal.
Please forgive me once."
When Ruihua heard that Xianfeng would not be punished and would be rewarded, his face suddenly stopped blushing and he was no longer sweating. He looked at Zaiyuan and Mu Yin with bitter gourd looks on their faces with great satisfaction.
In less than half an hour, Sushun rushed over. As soon as he entered the study, he shouted to Xianfeng: "The emperor is very happy, the rebels are about to die."
Xianfeng was surprised and happy, thinking that the frontline officers and soldiers had won a great victory, so he quickly walked down and asked: "Is Xu Guangjin returning to Xiangrong?"
Sushun looked puzzled and whispered: "I don't understand what the emperor means. I mean it's good news that the Han thieves have made Nanjing their capital."
Ruihua, Mu Yin, and Zaiyuan were dumbfounded, each complaining about Su Shun. If the emperor were angered, disaster would befall the three of them.
Xianfeng was furious and said: "It's ridiculous. The rebels captured Nanjing just when they were so arrogant. How could a disaster be imminent?"
Sushun explained: "Although Nanjing is an important place for water transportation and a barrier between Suzhou and Hangzhou, what is the use of the rebels only occupying one place? Water transportation took place in the sixth year of Daoguang and twice in the 28th year by sea transportation, and both reached Tianjin smoothly.
Xiang Rong is still stationed in Zhenjiang. Zhenjiang is hundreds of miles away from Nanjing and his troops can be at the gates of the city overnight. If Xiang Rong is transferred to Nanjing to set up a camp and threaten Nanjing at all times, the rebels will not dare to attack Suzhou and Hangzhou at the risk of being cut off.
Rich area."
When Xianfeng heard such a whimsical suggestion, he asked: "Is this feasible? If Xiangrong's army is defeated, wouldn't it be worse?"
Sushun said bluntly: "The Eight Banners of the Green Camp do not dare to fight in the field, why don't they dare to defend? Xiang Rong has an army of 80,000 in Zhenjiang. If the bandits attack Jiangsu, Shanghai, Jiangxi, and Zhejiang, Xiang Rong will definitely divide his troops to rescue and rescue them.
If the rebel armies have every opportunity to defeat them, if they are gathered under the city of Nanjing, not only will Jiangsu and Zhejiang be unharmed, but the rebel rebels will also be contained in Nanjing where there is no food and no pay. In three to five years, the rebel rebels will be destroyed without attack."
Xianfeng was not stupid either. Sushun thought it was a brilliant plan halfway through his explanation, and immediately said happily: "What I love you to say is very in line with my heart. I will definitely reward you heavily."
After Xianfeng finished speaking, he looked at Ruihua and the three of them and said, "I heard that you just wanted to jointly recommend Sushun, so what official position do you plan to nominate him for?"
When Mu Yin saw that he could please the emperor and made Sushun his new favorite, he quickly said: "I would like to report to the emperor that Mr. Su can speak out and give advice and is proficient in military affairs. I recommend Sushun to be the commander of the army and the envoy of the ceremony."
Xianfeng drank tea casually and said, "I'm just such a small official. I can't afford to bother you, Minister of War, to come out."
Zaiyuan saw that Xianfeng thought he was a junior official, so he took the opportunity to say: "I recommend Sushun to be the imperial bodyguard, so that he can always be by your side, the emperor."
Xianfeng put down his teacup and said nothing.
Ruihua boldly said: "Although Sushun is my younger brother, the country is in turmoil, and I can't care less about gossiping. I recommend Sushun as the minister of the Ministry of Industry, and grant him the title of 'Minister of Military and Aircraft Learning to Walk'. I ask for the emperor's approval."
Zaiyuan and Mu Yin were both startled and looked at Ruihua: You really dare to say that.
Xianfeng thought about it for a while and said: "Yes"
