Time Travel to 1859: The Iron-Blooded Soldier King

In the end, Sushun and Liu Ye parted ways unhappily!

Sushun was unable to control Liu Ye. Firstly, he did not have the ability and vision to do so. More importantly, his political philosophy was completely different from Liu Ye's. One wanted to deliberately promote China's modernization and enter a new era; the other was clinging to his ancestral job and was extremely hostile and repulsive to the West. How could they work together if they had different ideas?

In Liu Ye's eyes, Sushun has already been sentenced to death. No matter how capable this guy is, he must not be kept alive. The more capable he is, the greater the resistance he will bring to himself in the future. Killing him is a must!

Similarly, Sushun had already felt the distance between Liu Ye and himself at this time. This distance was fatal. It was a deviation in principle and there was no possibility of them being together!

Even if Sushun regretted Liu Ye's talent, he had to get rid of him ruthlessly. Otherwise, if he completely turned to Gong Laoliu, that would be his biggest hidden danger!

However, Xianfeng still summoned Liu Ye the next day.

After the court officials finished their greetings, Emperor Xianfeng, looking pale, asked in a low voice, "Liu Ye, where is Liu Ye?"

Liu Ye quickly stood up and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, I am waiting here!"

Xianfeng nodded and said, "Liu Ye, you have worked so hard during this foreign invasion. You have won victory after victory on the battlefield and have lived up to my expectations. You almost lost your life on the battlefield. You are worthy of being my good general!"

Liu Ye quickly thanked him.

Xianfeng continued, "Liu Ye, how could you be so accommodating to the foreigners in this peace negotiation? The court officials are opposing the terms listed. You and Prince Gong..."

Liu Ye quickly replied, "Your Majesty, I have done my utmost in this peace negotiation, and have argued for every possible advantage I could. However, we have ultimately failed. Beijing is now in their hands. How can we negotiate a peace treaty under siege? We have completely lost the initiative..."

Woren, standing by, stood up and shouted, "Nonsense! What do you mean by completely losing the initiative? We still have tens of thousands of troops in the capital, and the foreigners only have a little over ten thousand. Even if Beijing falls, we can definitely take it back! How can you be worthy of our ancestors by selling out your country for personal gain? I think you are just afraid of death and avoiding battle!"

Liu Ye glanced at Woren, sneered, looked towards the roof with disdain, and ignored him completely. It was really boring to deal with such an old man. He couldn't hit him, and he was afraid of angering him to death by scolding him. Arguing with him was like talking to a cow. The best way was to ignore him!

However, Liu Ye’s silence does not mean that others do not speak!

Among the court officials, Duanhua and others had already received hints from Sushun that Liu Ye must be removed from the court, either by killing him or removing all his jobs at once. Even if it costs a certain price, he must be driven out of the court!

Seeing Liu Ye ignoring Woren, Duanhua stood up and shouted, "Master Wo is right. I think you are afraid of death and avoiding war, and you are selling out your country for personal gain! What do you mean you don't have to kowtow when you meet the emperor? Is our Qing Dynasty still the Celestial Empire? Do they still have any sense of vassalage? Absurd! Absurd! Sign this treaty and you will be forgiven even if you die!"

After Duanhua, Sushun's accomplices jumped out one after another in the palace and began to attack Liu Ye wantonly!

Liu Ye couldn't help but sneer. "Okay, everyone has jumped out. It's really like everyone pushes the wall down. But, the problem is, I haven't fallen yet! If you want my life, you have to see if your knives are sharp enough!"

Xianfeng on the side was also a little anxious. Damn, the situation today was a little wrong. Last time when Liu Ye was not there, these people's attitudes were not so intense. Instead, Woren's attitude was the toughest. Now, after Woren finished his first outburst, the people who came out later were more ruthless than each other. Some even asked him to not only deal with Liu Ye, but also investigate Prince Gong!

What the hell, are you guys crazy? The title of Heshuo Prince Gong was bestowed upon Lao Liu by the late Emperor before his death. Don't even think about Prince Gong doing anything wrong. Even if he was rebelling, the most we could do is strip him of his title. I can't even kill him. What are you all arguing about?

Also, I'll chop off Liu Ye's head. After I chop off Liu Ye's head, who the hell will you guys do to negotiate with the foreigners? If a fight breaks out again, who will you guys do to confront the foreigners? You all have stupid brains!

Liu Ye saw that everyone had almost finished talking and gradually quieted down. He looked up to the sky and laughed loudly. His resonant voice made the palace buzz with echoes.

"Your Majesty, I have been a little inappropriate."

Liu Ye bowed and said something, then turned to Zai Yuan and said slowly, "Prince Yi, you said I mishandled the situation and failed to do my job well? Then let me ask you, Prince Gong and I finally negotiated a contract, and just as I was heading to the Northeast to suppress Tsarist Russia, you turned around and detained a foreigner and tortured him to death, causing the war to resume. Was it me who failed to do my job well, or you? Was it me who mishandled the situation, or you?"

amount……

Zaiyuan was almost choked to death by Liu Ye's words!

This was a blatant slap in the face. Just because of this incident, I was scolded by the emperor for over half a month and ridiculed by my colleagues for two months! Today, Liu Ye had exposed my scars again! And there was no room for retaliation. I had truly ruined the results that they had worked so hard to negotiate!

Liu Ye turned to Duan Hua again and sneered, "Prince Zheng, you say I didn't fight well? Holy shit! Where were you when I was suppressing Tsarist Russia and pacifying Jiangdong? Where were you when I was winning battle after battle at Zhangjiawan and Shuangqiao? Where were you when I led hundreds of elite cavalry to charge thousands of foreigners? Are you still sleeping in Beijing?"

Liu Ye's words made Duan Hua angry and embarrassed. Damn, he was just busy talking and Liu Ye caught him as an excuse. This slap was given to Liu Ye!

Duan Hua shouted, "How dare you! I'm a prince, who do you think you are? How dare you speak so disrespectfully? Just for this reason, I can expel you from the court! So what if you won two battles? Didn't you still lose the battle of Gaobeidian and be chased away by the foreigners like Senggelinqin, leaving you pissing and running?"

Before Liu Ye could fight back, a thunderous voice suddenly rang out from outside the hall: "Duanhua, you are talking nonsense! Come at me if you dare! Don't bully a junior! I will beat the shit out of you!"

Everyone shuddered with fear and looked back, only to see Senggelinqin with his eyes wide open as he rushed into the court. In the blink of an eye, he was in front of Duanhua, raised his leg and kicked the stunned Duanhua, causing him to fall to the ground!
