Time Travel to 1859: The Iron-Blooded Soldier King

Liu Ye is right, everything is under the control of the people above!

Senggelinqin was so worried these days that his hair turned white. For the past few days, Senggelinqin tried his best to discuss countermeasures with Guo Songtao, Shengbao and others.

After Hebica's death, Senggelinqin temporarily took over the military affairs of the garrisoned Eight Banners as an imperial envoy and began a comprehensive investigation of Hebica. At this critical juncture, only by finding the most evidence against Hebica could Liu Ye be able to keep his hat and even his head. Otherwise, the Manchu nobles below would make a big fuss in the court, not to mention a large number of political enemies. You must know that besieging the garrisoned Eight Banners is a taboo for the royal family. No matter how wary the royal family is, even the upright people below would fear it like a flood and a beast!

Even if the court did not want to investigate Liu Ye, it must have a sufficient reason and a big enough step. The court would never stop. Even if the court wanted to stop, it had to come up with a reason to convince the powerful people of the Qing Dynasty. A Manchu general was killed, and he was executed first and reported later. Moreover, he was a branch of the Aisin Gioro clan. No one had such power. Even the emperor could only dismiss him from his post and hand him over to the clan court for disposal!

A memorial jointly signed by Senggelinqin, Shengbao and Guo Songtao was sent to the capital at an express speed of seven hundred miles.

Prince Gong's Palace.

Today, Prince Gong Yixin lives a very contented life. Since he became the Prince Regent, Yixin and the two palaces have been getting along very well. Basically, the two palaces have never disagreed with Yixin's request. It is rare to see such a harmonious scene in the court. This is not the most proud thing. The most proud thing is that Zeng Guofan in the south has been constantly winning victories. It is obvious that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is at the end of its strength. As long as the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is pacified, the Qing Dynasty can reproduce the prosperity of the Kangxi and Qianlong eras. In addition, the Nian bandits in Shandong have gradually fallen into despair. The strategic deployment of Senggelinqin, Shengbao and Liu Ye has locked the Nian bandits in the central Shandong area. Not only that, but the situation is getting tighter and tighter. The Nian bandits in Shandong will not last long.

With so many good things happening one after another, Yi Xin couldn't help but be happy.

Prince Gong specially invited Wenxiang over today. The two sat opposite each other, drinking together in the garden, talking about ancient and modern anecdotes, and interesting things in the court and the public, looking quite content.

Just when the two were happy, an urgent report from Senggelinqin and Shengbao Guo Songtao was delivered to Prince Gong's Mansion!

An urgent report from the Sangha King?

Prince Gong raised his eyebrows. Ever since Liu Ye left Beijing, all the reports on the anti-bandit campaign in Shandong were good news. Only Gaotang Prefecture was captured, and Liu Ye, who was passing by, encountered it and struck the Nian Army with a stick, suppressing their arrogance. What good news was in today's urgent report?

Wen Xiang, who was standing by, took the battle report and said with a smile, "Your Highness, I will review it for you. Anyway, with the Monk King and Liu Ye in charge, Shandong will definitely not be in turmoil..."

Prince Gong smiled and nodded. Wenxiang opened the battle report, but it turned out to be two memorials. The two were stunned. What was this...

The two men simultaneously picked up a letter and opened it. It was a victory report, jointly submitted by Senggelinqin, Shengbao, and Guo Songtao. Liu Ye first advised the monk king to deploy a rectangular encirclement, then sent elite cavalry to lure the Nian Army into the trap. Finally, using the city of Jinan as bait, he held the Nian Army firmly in its vicinity, creating the conditions for the army to encircle and suppress the Nian Army. After several days of fierce fighting, the 30,000 Nian Army entrenched in Shandong were completely annihilated! Following it was a list of those claiming military merit: after Seng, Sheng, and Liu, Yan Chunyu, Zhu Hai, Luo Bicheng, Kulha, Gao Qi, and others were prominently listed.

However, what shocked the two men was that the joint memorial didn't include the signatures of General Hebica of Jinan, Shandong, or the Shandong Governor Liu Ye! What the hell was going on? Yi Xin and Wen Xiang had a sinister premonition. Could it be that both of them had died in battle? Hebica's death was fine, and I didn't feel bad for him. But Liu Ye couldn't die. The Qing Dynasty would have to rely on him to keep it going in the future!

However, if Liu Ye or Hebita died in battle, at least the monk king would have written it directly in the battle report. How could he hide it? After all, one was a first-rank general and the other was a second-rank governor, both high-ranking officials!

Prince Gong's face immediately darkened, and he picked up another memorial - "Senggelinqin, Shengbao, and Guo Songtao jointly ordered Liu Ye to execute Hebica"!

Before he even read the contents, Gong Laoliu was struck by lightning. Wen Xiang beside him was also sweating profusely. It was unbelievable! Liu Ye beheaded Hebitha! Liu Ye beheaded Hebitha!

Damn, this isn't just an ordinary Green Camp general, this is a Manchu general. Not only is he a Manchu general, but he's also from the Aisin-Gioro clan! Even Prince Gong doesn't have the right to execute Hebica directly; he has to go through the Imperial Clan Court to handle and convict him!

Prince Gong quickly opened the memorial and saw that it was true. Senggelinqin, Shengbao and Guo Songtao had successively written letters to the emperor, listing the ten major crimes of the Jinan general: withholding military pay, building a government office in violation of regulations, allowing soldiers to commit crimes, not advancing to resist the enemy, looting people's property, forcibly abducting women... and so on. The last one was the most important of the important things. He allowed his son to commit crimes and forcibly abducted the second wife of Shandong Governor Liu Ye, resulting in one injury and one abduction!

I rub!

Prince Gong didn't want to watch what happened next, because this incident had happened before in the capital. His two younger brothers had directly tried to rob Dong E, but were beaten up by Liu Ye. Now Hebitha and his unlucky son were so blind that they did such a thing again, and even the other person's two wives were seriously injured and unconscious. With Liu Ye's temper, how could he let it go?

Prince Gong is now in tears. It took so much effort to finally get this good situation going. Hebica, you bastard, you blind bastard, you had no choice but to touch Liu Ye's weak spot, and you did it twice. How will this end? You guys died so easily, but how am I going to deal with this situation next?

And Liu Ye, can't you just be quiet? You claim you've accomplished something insignificant, yet you cause me such a catastrophic disaster, each one more catastrophic than the last. What can I do? Even if you assaulted the prince, that would have been nothing more than insubordination. I, Gong Laoliu, could have made amends for you, even with my brother's respect and the help of the two concubines. But how can I make amends now? Forget about beheading the Jinan general. Even besieging the Eight Banners garrison is enough to get you beheaded three times!

"Damn it, Liu Ye! One day, you're going to torture me to death!"
