Eunuchs who traveled through the Qing Dynasty

The room fell silent.for a while.Xiao Ran's sharp gaze calmed down a lot.Said: "That's right. After going through so many things, it shouldn't be difficult to guess what I want with your intelligence. Well then, we won't hide anything from each other. What do you think about moving the capital?"

Lan'er put down the wooden pestle.Turning around, her movements were neither hurried nor slow, she looked extremely calm, and there was no joy, anger, sorrow or joy on her face, as calm as a pool of water.I just heard her say: "Moving is a very sensitive matter, especially now that the power of governors in the south of the Yangtze River is becoming stronger and stronger, and neither the Eight Banners nor the Green Camp can match it. Even the imperial court dare not act rashly. Obviously, it has gradually lost Restricting the power of the land. If Zeng Guofan is transferred to Zhili again, it is equivalent to cutting off the northern and southern moats from the middle of Hebei. After crossing the Jianghuai River, the Han army is already in the world. I don’t know. Therefore, once there is a rash change, it will inevitably arouse the vigilance of the Manchu forces, which is number one.”

Xiao Ran nodded.This point, he has already made calculations.Among the Manchu forces, Yi was the leader.There are two right-hand men under his command, one is Deputy Dutong Shengbao of the Shandong Eight Banners Army, and the other is Shengjing General Nayan Xinduo.As for Na Yan, the father-in-law, a tacit agreement has already been reached. Usually, the more ambitious a person is, the easier it is for him to settle down as long as he has enough incentives.And Shengbao is loyal to Yi, if not eliminated, it will become a disaster in the long run.This point of view of Xiao Ran is roughly similar to that of Lan'er. In history, less than a year after the Xinyou coup, Sheng Bao, who was the hero of the escort, was beheaded by Cixi in every possible way. In ancient times, most generals ended up like this.

As long as it is smooth, there is nothing to be afraid of.With a slight chin, Xiao Ran said: "Then what about the second one?"

Lan Er said again: "Although Zeng Guofan is a Han minister, he has no idea of ​​restoring the Han Dynasty. That is to say, the Qing regime is an important guarantee for him to gain power. He knows that he can't be Wu Sangui's second, so, I guess he will still stand with the Baoqing faction at a critical moment. I am afraid that it will be very difficult for him to pass the question of moving the capital."

Xiao Ran frowned, and said, "The third?"

"Yi turned against me!" Lan'er's eyes suddenly became sharp, and she said each word: "If these two forces join forces, what should I do?"

"..."

Xiao Ran was stunned for a moment.Lan'er's words were like pouring a ladle of cold water on his head, making him suddenly sober.Before that, he had been thinking about how to let the two forces of Manchu and Han restrain each other, and he got into a dead end unknowingly. He didn't expect that a chess game he had carefully planned was actually on the Jiangyi line. !

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.this time

From going to Russia to conquering the Japanese slave country secretly, it has been smooth sailing, and it is not unavoidable to be proud of it.This kind of psychological relaxation made him no longer be as cautious and meticulous in dealing with things as in the past, but instead had a mentality of eager for quick success.And in such a special period when the relationship is delicate and the current situation is complicated, such a paralyzed mind can easily cause an irreparable disaster!

Xiao Ran's brows became tighter and tighter.The move of moving the capital was equivalent to completely cutting off the retreat of the Manchus. He always believed that this was an excellent move to kill, and it was even considered exhaustive.But according to Lan'er, this is clearly a road of no return!

In fact, Laner was right.Yiyin's control, but this kind of thing, nine times out of ten, will exceed the maximum bottom line he can bear.But the current Zeng Guofan is obviously a double-edged sword. It is a sharp weapon for killing people, and it may hurt himself.How to control is not a problem that can be solved by simply killing him or forcing him to become addicted to drugs.

what to do?Do you just give up like this? ...

"When the mountain is poor and the water is exhausted, it is better to retreat to the next best thing; it is better to cut down the road if you are looking for fish from a tree."

Lan'er's voice was still as calm as water, without any waves.For a while, Xiao Ran didn't understand the meaning of these words, he said hesitantly: "The second best...Fake Taoism?"

Lan Er was silent for a while, and said: "Chess is played in the middle game, and it is often only in chaos that you can win. At present, the power in the country is like two big dragons entangled with each other. Although they control each other, the entanglement is difficult to resolve. If there is no way, it is better to find another way .”

A flash of inspiration flashed in Xiao Ran's mind, and he said, "You mean... Shi Dakai?"

Lan'er shook her head and said: "Shi Dakai, a bandit on the run, can harass and harass, but in the end it's hard to become a force." He paused for a while, seeing that Xiao Ran's face became more and more anxious, he couldn't help but pursed his lips and smiled, and said: "Xiao Ran , before that, what were you most worried about?"

"Worried?" Xiao Ran was startled, and said casually, "I'm worried a lot. I'm most worried... Ah! You mean, foreign devils!!!"

Xiao Ran was like enlightened, he only felt that the layers of fog in front of him suddenly became clear.I was worried all day that foreign devils would come in, but now that I think about it, if it is really like last time, from Dagukou to Beijing, the only thing those idiots in the court can do is to flee.At that time, with Nayan Xinduo in the northeast and Shi Dakai in the west, where is the only way out?

Only Jiangnan! ! ! ...

One point is both connected, and every point is connected.Xiao Ran's mind was quick to calculate, and there was a look of surprise and joy on his face, as he suddenly realized.Seeing him standing there, Lan'er kept moving her lips, as if muttering to herself, she shook her head slightly and sighed.He turned around and knelt down on the futon, facing the Guanyin statue, and prayed silently.

It took Xiao Ran a while to fully recover.I just feel the depression in my heart, and I can't help feeling like I want to cry up to the sky.Only then did I think of Lan'er. Seeing that she was still worshiping devoutly, she frowned slightly and said, "You...why help me?"

Lan'er bowed her head, and after a long silence, she said: "Everything in the world is determined by God's will, and it has been arranged in the dark. Don't you often say 'Ye He, the founder of the state'? Perhaps, this is my destiny in this life... "

With a light sigh, the crescent-like light brows were filled with a trace of unbearable loneliness.Lan'er is wearing a blue forged cheongsam today, which is simple and well-tailored, which further accentuates her tall breasts, slender waist and full grip. She kneels on the futon, her slender neck and delicate back draw an elegant arc. Covered by winter clothes, it still makes people suddenly have infinite reverie.What's more, the plump round buttocks are slightly tilted back, as if they are about to break through the shackles of the clothes, and they will pop out at any time.

Seeing this ecstasy beauty in front of him who could turn all sentient beings upside down, Xiao Ran couldn't tell what kind of feeling he felt in his heart for a moment.Today's Lan'er is no longer the lofty and invincible queen mother of the past, but a downtrodden little woman who can even call her own son around. That weak and slightly lonely back makes people feel Feelings of pity welled up.

He couldn't help stretching out his hand, but just when he was about to touch her shiny shoulder, he stopped again.After hesitating for a while, Xiao Ran whispered: "I'll go to the front and have a look." Turning around, he walked out of the warehouse.

At the same time as the door was slammed shut, Lan'er's upright body suddenly lost its support, and suddenly softened.Two teardrops also unknowingly slid down the cheeks, like morning dew blown by the breeze, fell to the ground and shattered into two small plum blossoms.

Yes, everything is destiny.Perhaps from the moment they first met, there was a dark hand that arranged the ending of the story...

♂ Volume 8 in the harem ♀

→Chapter 159 - Beating up the little emperor←

Emperor Zaichun, when Lan'er had not been thrown into the cold palace earlier, was stricter, so he was disciplined and disciplined.Later, Lan'er was gone, and Mei came to take care of her.Mei has a very good temper and dotes on him very much. Even if he does something wrong sometimes, he only talks about it and refuses to scold him. However, this kind of doting makes Zai Chun look like a bird out of the cage or a wild horse running wild. , Developed a more domineering and surly temperament.

At this time, he has recovered the peculiar perverseness of being a "dragon species", and is gnashing his teeth fiercely.Zhang Wenliang was scolded for the bloody sprinkler head. In the cold weather, sweat beads were all over his face and neck, but he was still blocking the door. Ren Zaichun grabbed the bottles and cans on the table and threw them on him. How dare you let him out.

Fortunately, the cold palace was originally simple and simple, without too many decorations, otherwise Zhang Wenliang would be in great trouble!

"Slave dog, I want to copy your nine clans! I want to kill your whole family! Little Sanzi, you wait, you wait for me!" I was so angry that I even forgot to say the word "zhen", and then Pointing at Zhang Wenliang, he said, "You dog, you are all protecting him, aren't you? Waiting for the mother to come, none of you will live! You, you will end up like the third son! I will behead all of you and kill them all!" !"

"Little brat, who do you want to kill?"

A muffled voice sounded at the door, and Zai Chun was so frightened that he yelled, he got under the table and shouted, "Zhang Wenliang, come and escort me! Don't let him in!"

Zhang Wenliang wiped off his sweat and moved away.It was Xiao Ran who came in, glanced at Zai Chun, and said: "It seems that you haven't been beaten enough. Is it? Get out!"

Although Zaichun is only seven years old, the imperial beige was enlightened much earlier than ordinary children, no matter what he says or does, he has a bit of a mind.For Xiao Ran, he had always admired and revered him in his heart, but today he was beaten by him again for the first time, and he was so frightened that he was at a loss, how dare he come out.Zhang Wenliang hastily stepped forward and hugged Xiao Ran, saying: "Eunuch Xiao, I don't dare to fight anymore. Someone will die!"

Xiao Ran patted Zhang Wenliang's arm to signal him to let go.He whispered: "Don't worry, I have a sense of proportion, and I promise nothing will happen."

Walking to the table, he stretched out his hand to grab Zai Chun's ankle, regardless of his desperate struggle, he just dragged him out from under the table like a dead dog.Zai Chun was so frightened that he screamed, and Xiao Ran slapped him back.He said coldly: "Call again? Call me again until your mother-in-law won't recognize you!"

Zai Chun is still young, why should he be so frightened?Immediately shut his mouth, his body trembled like he was sifting chaff, he couldn't even stand up, water dripped down the bottom of his robe, it turned out that he was scared to pee.

Xiao Ran dragged him up, made him stand against the wall, and said, "How many mothers do you have?"

"Two...gege...two!" Zai Chun was so frightened that his teeth chattered non-stop.I am used to being pampered like my ancestors.It was the first time I met a lunatic like Xiao Ran.With no one around to help him, the fear in his heart can be imagined.

"Little bastard, you are quite clever! Let me ask you again. Your master Li Hongzao, has he ever taught you "24 Filial Piety"? Do you know what it means to be filial first?"

"Know, know... woo woo, no... dare not! Wow..."

"Don't cry, hold back!" Xiao Ran's voice really frightened Zai Chun to hold back and dare not cry anymore.Xiao Ran poked his forehead and cursed: "When you are a dragon species, calling you emperor is a way for your ancestors! You little bastard with not yet full teeth dare to pretend to be big in front of me? Don't Said that I didn't warn you, from now on, you'd better be honest with me. I don't care how you play with others. In front of your mother, you'd better behave yourself. Otherwise, I'll see you beat you once Once, do you understand?"

"..."

"say!!!"

"Ming, I understand..."

Zai Chun's face was covered with tears from left to right, and he didn't dare to cry out, his face turned blue from holding back, and he kept twitching.Xiao Ran didn't want to go too far, so he snorted and stood up.At this moment, Baolu's high-pitched and thin voice sounded from outside: "The Queen Mother is here!" Zaichun's eyeballs shone brightly, as if looking forward to a savior, he wailed loudly.

Mei was having some important business with Yi today, so she hurriedly pulled away.When he heard that Xiao Ran had beaten the little emperor, his face turned pale with shock, and hurried to the Leng Palace.Because Jing Shou was Zai Chun's Manchu master and had the best relationship with Xiao Ran, he asked him to come together.

Before he stepped into the room, he heard Zai Chun's unkind cry from inside, and his heart became more and more anxious.After entering the door, fortunately, apart from Zai Chun and Xiao Ran, only Zhang Wenliang was there, so I felt relieved.Seeing that the savior had arrived, Zai Chun desperately wanted to rush over, but Xiao Ran grabbed him by the collar.Mei hurriedly said: "You all come out.

) Attached, take care of this courtyard, no one is allowed to enter without my order

Jing Shou took a quick glance into the room, seeing that it was Xiao Ran, he understood half of it in his heart, and hurriedly agreed to go.Zhang Wenliang, Baolu and others all withdrew, and Yanlin asked Lan'er to come over.

He closed the door with his brows closed, and inserted the latch on purpose, then he gave Xiao Ran a hard look, and said angrily: "You little boy, you know you're going to cause me trouble! Why don't you let go?"

As he was about to come over, Xiao Ran pointed his hand and said, "Stop, no one is allowed to intervene when I discipline the children!"

He frowned and said: "What are you talking about? I am his mother-in-law, and I will take care of it..."

"Are you in good hands? Discipline him to be as virtuous as he is now? This brat dares not even recognize his own mother-in-law now. If he continues like this, who do you think he will put in place when he grows up?" In eyes?"
