Time Travel to 1859: The Iron-Blooded Soldier King

The young and energetic Yihuan was pressured by Wenxiang's words and rolled his eyes in anger. Yixin on the side kept cooperating and forced Yihuan to take on this difficult task. Yihuan, who was full of hatred and resentment, left Prince Gong's Mansion angrily.

After Yihuan left, the next two people were unable to sit still.

"Let's go. Ultimately, this matter depends on the attitudes of the two palaces, especially the one in the west. He has been very caring towards Liu Ye..."

Wenxiang whispered.

Yi Xin also stood up, picked up the memorial, and rushed to the palace with Wen Xiang.

When Cixi and Ci'an listened to the reports from Yixin and Wenxiang, they felt as if they had experienced two different worlds: ice and fire. They had just been beaming with joy at the news of the great victory in Shandong, but then Yixin brought up the story of Liu Ye besieging the Eight Banners and angrily beheading Hebita and his son.

The two Empress Dowagers suddenly felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave that had existed for thousands of years, and their whole bodies were freezing cold.

"Nonsense, nonsense, this is terrible, this is terrible..."

Empress Dowager Cixi's face turned pale and she kept muttering, "How presumptuous! A first-rank general of the country can be executed just like that by a second-rank governor like you. Where do you put the laws of the country? Do you still have the court and the emperor in your eyes?"

As for Cixi, she was furious. This evildoer only knew how to constantly harm her. What should she do? According to the imperial law, confiscating the family property and exterminating the whole family would have been enough! Even if your wife was abducted, couldn't you just get her back? As for the rest, a memorial to the court was submitted. How could I help an outsider? Now, you've chopped off everyone. What should I do? I'm doomed to suffer this punishment. No one can escape!

The most infuriating thing is, damn, it's all for two wives who haven't even been married yet. If they were married officially, it would be fine, but now they haven't even gotten married yet, why would you do that? Damn, I've never seen you care about me this much before?

At this time, a feeling of jealousy actually rose in Cixi's heart!

Prince Gong Yixin whispered, "My two sisters-in-law, this matter is very tricky. The nobles in the court have always been against Liu Ye. Those stubborn and upright people also look down on what Liu Ye has done in the court. Now this kid has caused such a big mess. How should we deal with it?"

Cixi said hatefully, "How should we deal with this? I don't care! Damn it, this guy is a complete bastard! Bastard! He never lets anyone have peace! It makes me so angry! I don't care about it. If he has the ability, let him deal with those difficult nobles on his own!"

Although Ci'an was also angry, she still had a trace of calmness. She sighed and said, "Sister, no matter what, we must protect him. After all, he saved the three of us and helped the emperor ascend to the throne. This friendship cannot be let go."

Cixi remained silent. Even though she said those angry words, how could she bear to let go and let her beloved die?

Yi Xin said, "My two sisters-in-law, we must suppress the anger of the nobles on this matter. Liu Ye is a rare talent. The emperor is young now, and the ministers in the court are old or young. In a dozen years, there will be a period of transition. By that time, Liu Ye will be in his prime, only in his thirties. It is inevitable that he will assist the emperor and take charge of the government. We must not let him fall like this!"

Cixi nodded and replied, "Sixth Master, what you said makes sense. This matter is indeed in favor of Liu Ye. Putting aside the favor of saving the emperor, but leaving the emperor with a pillar of support for the next thirty years is also worth doing. However, Sixth Master, what are your rules? Those nobles are not so easy to get rid of..."

Yi Xin replied, "Empress Dowager, I have already sent the Seventh Brother to make arrangements. While his other abilities are average, his knack for winning people over is remarkable. He knows all the nobles in the capital very well, and each of them has to give him some respect. It is not convenient for us to directly suppress this matter. After all, as the helmsman of Manchuria, we cannot completely stand on the side of the Han people, as that would affect our foundation..."

Ci'an nodded and replied, "Yes, the Seventh Prince handled this matter very well. And there are the upright officials in the court. Besieging the Eight Banners Camp is an act that has completely exceeded their bottom line. I'm afraid that the impeachment memorial from the Censorate will bury Liu Ye alive..."

Wen Xiang gritted his teeth and replied, "Empress Dowager, I will ask Lords Cao Yuying and Woren to intervene. They hold great prestige among the Qing officials and will probably be able to mediate. As for the rest, we must teach Liu Ye a lesson. After all, the country has its own laws, and we must not allow such a precedent to be set. The impact is too severe. If others follow suit in the future, wouldn't that disrupt order?"

Cixi snorted coldly and said, "Well, what Lord Bochuan said makes sense. Damn Liu Ye, the Sixth Master will draft an edict in a moment, summoning Liu Ye to the capital immediately for trial. This time, he must be taught a good lesson. If he doesn't learn his lesson, he will rebel against him."

"twitter!"

Over the next few days, the entire capital was in turmoil. As a general who assisted the country and was also the general stationed in Jinan, Hebiza was naturally a top figure among the nobles. As the saying goes, "a fence has three stakes, and he naturally has many relatives and friends. There are many close relationships among the nobles!" Moreover, although Hebiza was in the wrong this time, he couldn't just chop off the father and son like that. Where would the Manchus put their dignity? It was outrageous! After all, this world is still our Manchu world!

As soon as the news of Hebita's death reached the capital, the nobles in the capital began to contact each other frequently. They were all filled with anger and advocated to the two Empress Dowagers in front of them, demanding that Liu Ye be severely punished. Even if they could not confiscate his property and kill his family, they must chop off his head!

In just a few days, the memorials impeaching Liu Ye had piled up on Yi Xin's desk. Just looking at these memorials made Yi Xin feel overwhelmed!

Damn, among these memorials, there are three from princes, ten from marquises, and as many as twenty from auxiliary generals. As for the memorials from the upright officials, there are even more, and none of them are easy to deal with!

Not only that, Prince Gong's Mansion was surrounded by nobles yesterday, and dozens of people demanded to meet with the Prince Regent. As a result, Yi Xin simply feigned illness and refused to meet with them, thus hiding away in peace. However, this is not the end. If he cannot get a response in Prince Gong's Mansion, then he will go to the Noon Court Gate and demand to meet with the Empress Dowager. The two Empress Dowagers cannot just avoid him!

The nobles, filled with righteous indignation, were almost going crazy. How could such a bully be so cruel? He just stole your two lovers. This kind of thing happened all the time. Some officials even sent beauties to generals. How could you, Liu Ye, be so special? Just because he stole your two lovers, you killed them both? How could this be so unreasonable!
